There are three major families in Taiping Road, namely the Li family, the Lu family, and the Shen family. The Li family is the main one, and the other two families have become vassals of the Li family. Zhengyi Dao also has the same pattern, with the Zhang family as the main family, the Su family as the main family, and the other two families as vassals of the Li family.
The Yan family is a vassal, and the three families often marry each other, so in the eyes of many people, it is reasonable for Zhang Yuelu to marry Yan Mingchen. Now the head of the Yan family, the mother-in-law, is from the Zhang family. She will not let Zhang Yuelu suffer in any way, and even
Zhang Yuelu is so strong that it is not inconceivable that she will take over the Yan family as the mistress of her husband in the future.
To be fair, this is an excellent marriage. Many girls from the Zhang family who are from a small sect cannot get it. Generally, only the girls from the Zhang family are treated like this. Zhang Yuelu is from a small sect, because of his extraordinary talents and Yan Mingchen's initiative.
Only by demanding requirements can they easily defeat other opponents. As for whether they like each other, that is all trivial. In a big family, the husband and wife are actually solid allies, not lovers. As long as they do not respect each other as soldiers, respect each other as guests, and respect each other as
Ice, whatever.
But no one expected that Zhang Yuelu would take the initiative to reject this marriage, which most people thought was a perfect match. The reason given at first was even more ridiculous, because Yan Mingchen was too old.
Today's world is just like two ancient poems: I am eighty years old and you are eighteen, you are a beauty and I have white hair. I and you are the same Geng in reverse, only separated by a flower armor. The bride of eighteen is eighty years old, with pale hair and red makeup.
.The mandarin ducks sleep in pairs at night, and a pear tree presses the begonia.
It is not unusual for an old man to have a young wife, not to mention that Yan Mingchen is just thirty years old and is only less than ten years older than Zhang Yuelu, not several dozen years. It is indeed not a big difference.
So everyone thinks this is just an excuse. As for the real thoughts, few people know. The only one who doesn't think it's strange is probably Zhang Yuyue. In her opinion, Zhang Yuelu has had weird ideas since she was a child. Others think it's good, but she probably thinks it's not.
, this is reasonable.
However, including Tantai Qiong, they did not dare to force Zhang Yuelu too much. After all, Zhang Yuelu still had an escape route, which was to become a monk in Quanzhen Taoism. The so-called monks, regardless of whether they were monks, meant to cut off their worldly ties, including
As long as a blood-related family member has never returned to secular life, she cannot be restrained by secular rules such as patriarchal laws.
More importantly, Earth Master and Quanzhen Tao are strong enough to protect
To prove the implementation of this rule, now is the time when Zhengyiyi and Quanzhen Tao are close allies, and it is unlikely that the Heavenly Master will come forward for such a thing.
In fact, some people speculate that Zhang Yuelu was too high-minded and did not like Yan Mingchen, saying that Yan Mingchen was always saving face for Yan Mingchen. This is also reasonable. Considering Yan Mingchen's age, the fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest is indeed a bit low.
If you are promoted to the third-grade Taoist priest Youyi at the age of thirty-five, it means that you will have to wait until you are forty or even near fifty before you can be promoted to the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest. Then it is very likely that you will stop here in this life.
After all, the appointment and promotion of Taoist sects have almost rigid age requirements. Even with family help, the most you can do is become one of the thirty-six Shenzhi Zhenren in the year of Jiazi, and it is still ranked at the bottom, and the top few Shenzhi Zhenren are
The difference is obvious.
On the other hand, Zhang Yuelu became a fourth-grade Taoist priest in her early twenties. Judging from her momentum, as long as nothing unexpected happens, it is certain that she will become a third-grade Youyi Taoist priest before the age of thirty. Judging from her age, she is almost equal to
A second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest has been acquired, and it will not be difficult to become a Shenzhi Master in a few decades.
What really makes people look forward to is how far Zhang Yuelu can go? Will he stop being a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest and hurt Zhongyong? Or will he advance all the way to become a real person of Shenzhi, inherit the mantle of Master Cihang, and become one of the thirty-six real people of Shenzhi?
The person who is at the top of the list? Or is it more bold, the great master Pingzhang, the great master of the deputy headmaster, or even the supreme headmaster?
It's not that Yan Mingchen doesn't understand this truth. If Zhang Yuelu has high vision and looks down on him, then that's it. It's not that he doesn't know how much he weighs, and he doesn't know how. At most, he will remember it after many years.
But no one would have thought that Zhang Yuelu would find someone who was worthless. In terms of cultivation, Taoist rank, position, and family background, he was inferior to him in every aspect. The only advantage was that he was young.
And from the perspective of the Taoist system, it is only the Qi of seventh-grade Taoist priests.
Xuansu is not too young. Even if he is promoted to the sixth rank Taoist priest immediately after the New Year, it will take one year for the sixth rank Taoist priest to advance to the fifth rank, two years to upgrade the fifth rank to the fourth rank, and three years to upgrade the fourth rank to the third rank. Then he will have to wait for two years.
You can be promoted to the sixth-grade Taoist priest at the age of fifteen, and to the fifth-grade Taoist priest at the age of twenty-six. In the best case, you can only be promoted to the fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest at the age of twenty-eight. But the promotion of the fifth-grade Taoist priest to the fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priest is a recognized threshold.
Some people can be promoted within two years, but most of them have to stop for several years, and many people simply stop here and never reach the threshold of a high-quality Taoist priest in their lifetime.
Therefore, Yan Mingchen felt unconvinced and had to take a look in person before he would give up.
At first glance, he thought it was nothing more than that.
The injustice in my heart is even worse.
Zhang Yuelu naturally saw Yan Mingchen's resentment and simmering anger, and said: "When we were in the upper palace of Wanxiang Taoist Palace, I told you that we can be friends. I will call you brother, and forget about the rest.
.If you don’t take my words seriously, don’t blame me for not being your friend.”
Yan Mingchen closed his eyes and said in a trembling tone: "Even if you hate me, I don't blame you, but you... why do you bother yourself?"
"Zuojian?" Zhang Yuelu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Yan Mingchen said: "You know, if you can marry someone better than me, I won't say anything more and will only wish you well, but I don't want you to treat yourself like this." .??.??
Zhang Yuelu's tone increased: "How should I treat myself?"
Yan Mingchen opened his eyes suddenly and shot Qi Xuansu with his gaze like a sword: "He is not worthy of you."
"Whether you are worthy or not, it doesn't matter if you say it, it will count if I say it." Zhang Yuelu could not hide the chill in his tone.
Qi Xuansu remained silent, only looking at Yan Mingchen up and down, cautiously, as if a hunter was assessing the danger of his prey.
Yan Mingchen sighed: "Why bother telling the truth?"
Zhang Yuelu did not hide her anger. As Zhang Yuelu's anger surged, energy surged around her body, and the flying snow in the sky was like moths flying into the flame, all of which melted three feet away from her body.
Yan Mingchen turned his gaze back to Zhang Yuelu: "The spirit is concentrated in the Dantian, and the rest is like a baby. Your body is as if it is so high that it surpasses the Five Mountains, and your energy is like soaring into the sky and shaking the North Star. You are only a few steps away from heaven and humans, and there is no threshold left.
It's just that the heat is not yet there, it just needs time, I'm not your opponent."
Zhang Yuelu narrowed his eyes and did not answer.
Yan Mingchen turned his attention to Qi Xuansu again and said unceremoniously: "But he is not my opponent."
"That's not necessarily the case." Qi Xuansu, who had been silent until now, finally said.
The atmosphere suddenly condensed.
Qi Xuansu said softly: "Qingxiao, you are here for me. What if I keep hiding behind you? It just so happens that during this period, I have refined all the power of the medicine, and my cultivation level has increased. It is just right to accompany you."
Master Yan is practicing his skills."
Zhang Yuelu hesitated for a moment, but still chose to believe Qi Xuansu, and just said: "Then be careful."
Qi Xuansu took a step forward and said to Yan Mingchen: "Master Yan must have learned something when he came here."
When Yan Mingchen saw the two talking softly, he became angry. At this time, he suppressed his anger and said slowly: "I am older than you and my level is higher than yours. If we fight, it will be a big bully. You will not be hurt."
, if the realm is damaged, it will not be beautiful."
Qi Xuansu moved his fully recovered arm, and the blood energy and true energy in his body were flowing at the same time, and he said: "As long as Master Yan never becomes a heavenly being, I will be able to fight."
When Yan Mingchen saw what Qi Xuansu said, he stopped talking and circulated his true energy, but instead of taking action first, he signaled for Qi Xuansu to take action.
After all, as he said himself, he was already older than Qi Xuansu, and his level of cultivation was also a head higher. If he still took action first, it would be completely shameless, especially with Zhang Yuelu nearby, he didn't want to do something like this.
Qi Xuansu raised his hand, and a cold light flashed towards Yan Mingchen's left eye.
It's a flying knife.
Yan Mingchen stretched out a finger and let the flying knife hit the tip of his finger. The finger was not injured at all, but the flying knife shattered inch by inch.
