The next morning, after breakfast, the four masters and apprentices rode a carriage down to Ning Village. When they arrived at Ning Village, Xu's father and Xu's mother had already started farming in the mountains. It was busy during the spring plowing season.
Finally, Xu Dongsheng ran to the fields to retrieve Xu's father and Xu's mother. Seeing Lin Tianqi and his party, Xu's father and Xu's mother were also very happy. They made tea and asked Xu Dongsheng to kill chickens and ducks.
Preparing lunch, it was actually just past nine in the morning, and most people had just eaten breakfast. The enthusiasm of Xu's father and Xu's mother actually made Lin Tianqi a little embarrassed, and felt a little guilty.
Fortunately, Xu's father and Xu's mother are also the kind of people who are relatively easy to talk to and reasonable. After sitting down and explaining their intentions and the reasons for the matter, Xu's father and Xu's mother just thought about it for a while and then agreed, although they felt a little bit.
I can't bear to leave the place where I have lived for most of my life, but when I think about the world today, I also know that many things are beyond my control, and it's just a matter of moving to another place.
Immediately and soon, the two parties agreed on a date for Lin Tianqi and Xu Jie to get married, and then they would move south together after they got married. After some discussion, the wedding date was chosen four days later, which happened to be
That day is considered an auspicious day, and the intervening days are just enough for both parties to prepare for the wedding, invite relatives and friends, and hold wedding banquets, which are not trivial matters.
Lin Tianqi is not very clear about the process of weddings and the things that need to be prepared. This is the first time for him to get married in two lifetimes. No, because it should be considered the second time. He also got married to Bai Ji last time, but with
Naturally, Bai Ji's wedding cannot be compared with Xu Jie's wedding. After all, one is a human and the other is a ghost. Fortunately, these things have their own masters. The specific preparations were agreed upon by Uncle Jiu and Xu Jie's parents. They talked until noon.
We had almost discussed the details of the entire wedding process, and then prepared lunch. By the time we finished lunch, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was heading west.
At around four o'clock, Lin Tianqi and Jiu Shu's master and apprentice got up and left again, returning to Lantian Town. This time Xu Jie did not follow because according to the custom here, a few days before the couple got married, the bride needed to
Staying at her parents' house, which is similar to the custom that the bride and groom cannot see each other before the wedding, Xu Dongsheng also stayed to prepare for the wedding four days later, while Lin Tianqi, master and apprentice, left.
"Master, I'll go to Bai Ji's place tonight and tell her and Xiaoqian about the situation." Back in Lantian Town, Lin Tianqi said to Uncle Jiu again, since he plans to go south, Bai Ji's side will naturally go to talk to her.
explain.
"Well, don't stay there for too long. Remember that the wedding is in four days and you have to come back the day after tomorrow at the latest." Uncle Jiu was very thoughtful and knew that Lin Tianqi would not be able to come back right away, so he said.
Lin Tianqi nodded, and immediately had dinner with Uncle Jiu in the evening. After chatting for a while, the master and apprentice left to go to Bai Ji. Lin Tianqi was already familiar with the road. The distance was more than a hundred miles, and he arrived in less than an hour.
Just after dark, at eight o'clock in the evening, a bright moon slowly rose from the mountains in the east, casting a silvery moonlight, illuminating the mountains and rivers of the earth brightly.
"Hua Hua——" "Hua Hua——" Outside the bamboo forest, the water of the small river was gurgling and making a roaring sound. Lin Tianqi walked across the bridge and took a look at the river under the bridge. The water was so clear that he could even see clearly.
Looking at the fish swimming in the river and the sand and gravel at the bottom, a mansion stands quietly in the bamboo forest in front of it. A red lantern is hung high, illuminating the inside and outside of the mansion. Deep in the mountains and outdoors, there are people living in the bamboo forest.
If an ordinary person were here and saw this scene, they would probably be so frightened that they would have thought they had seen a ghost. After all, how could there be a house in this deep mountain and old forest? Moreover, the appearance of this mansion is exactly the same as that of ancient buildings.
, hung with tall red lanterns, but still quiet, no matter how strange it looks, it looks like a haunted house. In fact, this is indeed a haunted house, with a thousand-year-old ghost.
"Chiji——" "Chiji——"
In the bamboo forest, in the open space in front of the mansion, a white figure jumped up and down, jumping from the ground to the stone bench, and then to the stone table, playing happily like a child, and from time to time.
It made a chirping sound, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a snow-white ginseng, shaped like a child, with its little mouth opening and closing, it was really cute.
Lin Tianqi was walking from the small bridge and happened to see this scene. He couldn't help but feel happy. Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for a while, this ginseng spirit seemed to be living quite comfortably.
At this time, Ginseng Essence also sensed Lin Tianqi, turned around, and when he saw Lin Tianqi, he stiffened suddenly, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, and his small, mouse-like eyes shrank suddenly.
, and then: "Qiu!" He suddenly let out a cry that sounded like fear, jumped down from the stone table and disappeared into the ground.
However, less than two seconds after entering the geography, the ginseng essence suddenly poked its head out again, a pair of dark eyes looked at Lin Tianqi for a long time, and then jumped out of the ground again with a "hill", and then took a step forward.
Without moving his two snow-white ginseng whiskers and short legs, he ran towards the back of the distant mansion, shouting "Qiu! Qiu!" as he ran, as if he felt that the ground was not safe and he had to run away.
further away.
That way, it was like encountering a scary monster that wanted to eat it.
Lin Tianqi's face turned dark when he saw it, and his originally good mood suddenly turned bad.
Damn it, I am so terrible.
Lin Tianqi didn't know that ginseng essence has a very special sense of the creatures that have eaten it. As long as it is a creature that has eaten it, whether it is a human or other, ginseng essence can sense it immediately, and Lin Tianqi has already eaten it.
After using ginseng essence several times, it was natural that the ginseng essence could be sensed immediately. It would be strange for Lin Tianqi, who had eaten it, not to be afraid.
"Uncle." At this time, Shu Po's figure also walked out of the mansion, and she bowed and called out when she saw Lin Tianqi.
"Shu Po, where are Bai Ji and Xiao Qian?" Seeing Shu Po, Lin Tianqi also called out, calmed down, showed a smile on his face, and then asked.
"The young lady and the second young lady are still in the room. Have you eaten? Do you want me to let you prepare it?" Shu Po said.
"No, I've already eaten when I came. Shu Po, you can go down and rest by yourself. I'll call you when needed. I'll go see Bai Ji and Xiao Qian."
Lin Tianqi smiled and said that he had already had dinner when he came from Lantian Town, so he didn't feel very hungry now.
"Okay, uncle, if you need anything, call me anytime."
Shu Po responded, then bowed and retreated.
Seeing Shu Po leaving, Lin Tianqi couldn't bear to walk into the mansion and walked directly to the innermost part of the backyard.
And the moment Lin Tianqi walked into the mansion, the ginseng spirit who had just run away sneakily ran out from behind the mansion. A pair of small black eyes looked in the direction of the door of the mansion, and his eyes turned.
After walking around, it seemed that Lin Tianqi had left and would not come out again, and then started jumping around and playing in the open space in front of the mansion.
"Giggle, it's itchy, don't do it there, sister... Lin Lang is here... Yeah..." "Hee hee..."
In the backyard of the mansion, as soon as I walked to the door of the courtyard, I heard the sound of two women fighting in the side room.
"I said, it's already dark, and you two haven't gotten up yet, so I won't come out to greet you when I come back."
Opening the door and looking at the two disheveled women still fighting on the bed, Lin Tianqi couldn't help but say helplessly.
"Lin Lang." Zhang Qian's face was rosy, and Bai Ji tore most of her shirt open, exposing half of her breasts. She saw Lin Tianqi's rosy face and called out.
"We're not outsiders. What should we do? I haven't settled the accounts with you since you left us last in Peiping."
Bai Ji glared, and Lin Tianqi choked when he heard this. Facing Bai Ji, he always lacked confidence, so he could only hurt her.
"Close the door."
Seeing that the door was still open after Lin Tianqi came in, Bai Ji said again.
When Lin Tianqi heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched again. He always felt as if Bai Ji was ordering him, but after thinking about it, he couldn't do it, so he had better be honest and closed the door honestly.
Looking at Lin Tianqi's twitching mouth, Bai Ji couldn't help but a smile flashed in her eyes. She found that she really liked bullying Lin Tianqi like this more and more, and she felt extremely happy.
"By the way, Lin Lang, how are things going in Beiping?"
Zhang Qian asked. At this time, the two women on the bed also stopped fighting.
"It's almost solved, but in a few days I'm going to go south with Master and the others. I'm coming here this time to talk to you about going south, right?"
Lin Tianqi said, walked to the bed, took off his shoes and coat, and lay down on the bed.
"Going south." When the two women heard this, their expressions were slightly condensed. Bai Ji frowned: "Why go south?"
"There are many reasons. The incident in Peking is one reason, but the most important thing is to consider the safety of Master and Xiaojie..."
Lin Tianqi said, lying down between the two women, leaning his head on the bed, holding the two women in his arms, one on the left and the other on the right. Facing Bai Ji, it was at this time that he felt a little bit like a husband and majestic.
, otherwise, Bai Ji would usually eat her to death. Finding a wife who is better than yourself is sometimes a headache.
"Go to the south and let Master Xiaojie and the others avoid the sight of those forces. It will be safer for them. Moreover, the current situation is turbulent and the north is becoming more and more unstable. It is better to go south."
"Then you go south, what should we do?"
Finally, after Lin Tianqi finished speaking, Bai Ji asked, staring at Lin Tianqi, and Zhang Qian's eyes also looked over immediately.
"Of course we are together. Don't you know that there is a saying that when you marry a chicken, follow the chicken? When you marry a dog, follow the dog. When I go south, you must also come together?"
Lin Tianqi said immediately.
When Bai Ji heard this, she immediately turned pale as if Lin Tianqi was angry.
"Bah, if a dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth, who is a chicken or a dog?"
"Giggle."
Zhang Qian smiled sweetly, and the originally serious atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
"For the time being, I can't go south with you. Back then, I became a ghost cultivator by virtue of Ningcheng's enshrinement of the Earthly God. Although my status as an Earthly Cultivator did not have such a big restriction on me, I still haven't completely gotten rid of this identity after all.
, I have to wait until I condense my Yang body to break through before I can completely get rid of the shackles of my earthly identity. I won’t be able to stay in the south for a long time with you now.”
Bai Ji said, tell her own situation.
She is a ghost cultivator, but after all, she relied on Ning Cheng's worship and her status as an earth god to achieve her current strength. Although her status as an earth god has little restraint on her, she is still not completely free of it. She must wait until she is completely condensed.
Only after the Yang body breaks through can we get rid of it.
Therefore, Bai Ji can't go south with Lin Tianqi yet. It's not that she can't go, but that she won't be there for a long time.
