There are indeed some people in the world who say that the sloppy Taoist is a big devil because he has indeed done a lot of bad things, but more people rate him as both good and evil because he has also done a lot of good things.
In fact, the sloppy Taoist does not agree with these comments. He has always believed that he represents justice. He also teaches his disciples to have good conduct and draw a sword to help when there is injustice.
It's just that since there are so many people around him, he's also a little angry, and he simply thinks of himself as the big devil.
The advantage of being a big devil is that you can do things more freely. No matter what you do, others will not find it surprising or strange.
The three masters and apprentices immediately chartered a car and rushed to Shangjing.
We are all gentlemen, and we arrived in Shangjing in one day and one night without too much fuss.
The three of them first found a hotel to rest, had enough wine and food to recharge their batteries, and then immediately headed to Cui's house.
The Cui Family Palace is located near the Holy Palace and occupies a large area of land by itself.
The sloppy Taoist had made quite a fuss when he broke into the Cui family for the second time before, but the Cui family never asked for help. Cui Minggui regarded himself as an ancient martial arts family and generally would not ask for help.
Therefore, as long as the three masters and disciples are fast enough, they can kill Cui Minggui and snatch Cui Mengman away without alarming the entire Shangjing.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the three masters and apprentices quietly came to the Cui family palace.
But what surprised them was that the Cui family palace was decorated with lights and colorful, and it was very lively. There were many luxury cars with a unit price of more than one million parked at the door. There were even more people inside and outside the courtyard, with people constantly coming in and out.
What's going on?
Of course, the three masters and disciples were confused.
But soon, they figured out that tomorrow was the wedding day for the eldest daughter of the Cui family. According to the wedding rules in the north, the groom had to come to dress up that night, so it was so lively.
The groom is Qin Shaojie, the son of Lui Renren and Qin Rufeng.
At this moment, Qin Shaojie was having a drink with many guests in the Cui family courtyard, and discussing all the details of tomorrow's wedding.
Seeing this scene, Zhuo Yizhou was of course extremely anxious and immediately said to the sloppy Taoist, "Master, we can't let Cui Mengman get married!"
The sloppy Taoist said solemnly, "That's for sure, Cui Mengman is yours!"
The three masters and apprentices hid behind a certain tree and carefully observed the situation in the courtyard.
People from the Cui and Luo families gathered together happily, and Qin Rufeng was also present, accompanied by many guards.
Qin Rufeng's guards can be ignored, but the Cui and Luo families are equivalent to two sects. Although the sloppy Taoist has become a god, he wants to challenge the two major families with his two apprentices...
It's not impossible, but it's really troublesome, and you may not be able to escape unscathed.
The sloppy Taoist observed for a while and said, "Qin Shaojie is here to remind us of the installation. He will definitely leave before ten o'clock in the evening. As soon as the Qin and Luo families leave, let's take action immediately to kill the ghost and snatch Cui Mengman away."
Zhuo Yizhou said worriedly, "I want to live a good life with Cui Mengman. Wouldn't it be a good idea to just kill the ghost? Cui Mengman will definitely hate me for the rest of his life."
The sloppy Taoist said, "Then what do you want?"
Zhuo Yizhou said, "Master, why don't we give him a good beating, or don't kill him..."
The sloppy Taoist thought for a while and said, "Anyway, think about it, this guy almost killed both of us twice..."
Zhuo Yizhou nodded and said, "Master, I have thought about it. As long as I have Cui Mengman, I can let go of all other hatred."
The sloppy Taoist was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "Okay, as long as you don't regret it."
From beginning to end, Chen Dong stood by and said nothing.
He felt that the sloppy Taoist really doted on Zhuo Yizhou.
He knew that the sloppy Taoist almost died at the hands of Cui Minggui twice, and was imprisoned in a dungeon and tortured by Cui Minggui for more than half a year. He had long wanted to smash Cui Minggui's bones into ashes and cut his body into thousands of pieces.
But now, for the sake of Zhuo Yizhou's happiness, the sloppy Taoist would rather give up his revenge.
The sloppy Taoist was so kind to Zhuo Yizhou that he really had nothing to say.
But Chen Dong couldn't bear to see the sloppy Taoist suffer such injustice, and couldn't help but said, "Junior Brother Zhuo, if I hadn't attacked you, even if you didn't kill Cui Minggui, would the eldest lady of the Cui family be willing to live with you?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Chen." Zhuo Yizhou said seriously, "I have met Cui Mengman in private many times. She said that she likes me very much and wants to be with me, but she cannot be with me because of the disparity in status.
Let’s get married together…”
Is there such a thing?!
Of course Chen Dong was surprised.
As far as he knew, Zhuo Yizhou and Cui Mengman had only met twice.
The first time was when he robbed Cui Mengman in the street, but was beaten half to death by the Cui family. He was imprisoned in the Cui family for several months, and it was a sloppy Taoist who desperately rescued him.
The second time, Zhuo Yizhou still lost his memory and went to Cui's house to find Cui Mengman. The sloppy Taoist went to save him again and got himself into trouble.
In Chen Dong's view, Zhuo Yizhou was just wishful thinking from beginning to end, and Cui Mengman never looked at him seriously.
Now Zhuo Yizhou said that the two had met in private many times, and even talked to each other sincerely. They almost made a private decision for life, but they separated because of the pressure of reality?
This story sounds a bit magical indeed.
Seeing that Chen Dong didn't believe it, Zhuo Yizhou said anxiously, "Brother Chen, it's true. When I was first imprisoned in Cui's house, Miss Cui often came to see me. We both liked each other very much.
We had to separate only because of the obstruction of the evil spirit..."
Looking at Zhuo Yizhou's sincere look, it really didn't look like he was lying.
If this is really the case, then "robbing a bride" would actually seem to be a bit more famous than Shi Chu's, and it is not something that "only villains can do" in the ordinary sense.
However, Chen Dong remembered some of the unbearable past between himself and Cui Mengman...
It was when Cui Minggui held a full-moon banquet for his youngest son. Chen Dong once dressed up as an ugly monster and followed Qu Hongcai to sneak in to watch the fun.
Just because Chen Dong was ugly, he was repeatedly targeted and embarrassed by Cui Mengman, and even deliberately threw Chen Dong into the cold lake.
Chen Dong was so angry that he beat Cui Mengman severely as soon as he landed on the beach.
As a result, Cui Mengman not only didn't get angry, but instead obeyed Chen Dong and begged Chen Dong to beat her more, saying that the more he beat her, the more comfortable she felt.
This kind of relationship is quite similar to Wei Xiaobao and Princess Jianning in "The Deer and the Cauldron". The eldest lady of the upper three tribes, Cui Mengman, is obviously the same. She has been aloof all her life and has been favored by thousands of people. No one dares to disobey her. Suddenly there is someone who doesn't want to disobey her.
Giving her a good look made her feel extremely useful, and she even liked it.
In Chen Dong's impression, Cui Mengman is a girl who has a bit of a perverted mentality, does things inexplicably, and doesn't act according to common sense.
So when Zhuo Yizhou repeatedly said how much he loved Cui Mengman and described Cui Mengman as an unattainable, holy and glorious goddess, Chen Dong was always very disdainful in his heart, but he never said it out loud.
Now that Zhuo Yizhou said that he and Cui Mengman were in love, Chen Dong naturally felt strange in his heart.
Of course, he won't ruin the scenery.
Those ridiculous and unbearable memories should be thrown into the trash forever. I hope Zhuo Yizhou and Cui Mengman can really live a happy life in the future.
Chen Dong nodded and said, "Okay, with your words, Master and I will definitely help you to the end!"
Zhuo Yizhou said excitedly, "Thank you, Senior Brother Chen, thank you Master!"
The three masters and apprentices discussed the next plan while observing the movements in the Cui family's palace.
It would actually be much simpler to not kill anyone, just steal the bride.
You can start taking action after ten o'clock.
…
Bridging is a marriage custom in some parts of the north. On the day before the wedding, the man comes to the woman's house to give gifts and discuss the details of the wedding the next day.
Usually no later than 10pm.
At about half past nine, Chen Dong suddenly felt something strange about the jade pendant on his chest.
When I took it out and took a look, I found that the jade pendant, which was originally green, was now faintly flashing with white spots.
Chen Dong has seen jade pendants in emerald green, bright red, and pure white, but this is the first time that they flash white.
"What's going on?" Chen Dong was confused.
The sloppy Taoist looked over and saw the white dots on the jade pendant flickering, as if sending out some kind of signal.
"This... this..." The sloppy Taoist stared at the jade pendant, his expression obviously becoming a little excited.
"Master, what's wrong?" Chen Dong asked.
"Master told me that this is the Ruyi Sect's contact information, which means there are people from the Ruyi Sect nearby!" The sloppy Taoist's voice was trembling.
After all these years, there are actually descendants of the Ruyi Sect in the world?!
"You guys wait here while I go take a look around! Remember, none of you should act without permission before I come back! As the Guwu family, the Cui family is not an easy person to mess with!"
The sloppy Taoist left in a hurry after saying a few words.
At the scene, only Chen Dong and Zhuo Yizhou were left staring at each other.
Zhuo Yizhou asked, "Senior Brother Chen, what is the Ruyi Sect?"
Zhuo Yizhou's performance these days was pretty good, and Chen Dong was willing to talk to him for a few words, so he told him the story of Ruyimen.
"The ancestor of Qingyun Temple back then, Yun Zhongzi, was said to be from the Ruyi Sect." Chen Dong said seriously.
"Wow, everyone in the Ruyi Sect has a Ruyi Pei?!" Hearing this, Zhuo Yizhou was undoubtedly very excited. "If I can join the Ruyi Sect, wouldn't I also have a Ruyi Pei?"
Chen Dong nodded and said, "Master has gone to meet the people from the Ruyi Sect. Maybe he can really bring back some Ruyi Pei."
Zhuo Yizhou beamed, "I'm so happy then."
At this moment, the gate of the Cui family's palace suddenly became noisy.
It turned out that Qin Shaojie was about to leave, and the Cui family members were coming out to see him off.
Qin Rufeng, Marshal Qin, the head of Luoyi family, Cui Minggui, and Cui Mengman were all present. They stood at the door talking and laughing.
"Come here early tomorrow!"
"That's necessary. My son is getting a wife. Can't you come here as soon as possible?"
Seeing Cui Mengman, Zhuo Yizhou's eyes turned red, and his whole body even trembled slightly, obviously very excited.
It's a pity that Cui Mengman doesn't know he is here.
Cui Mengman stood aside without saying a word, looking like a lady.
