Chapter 141 Wedding, Cheers

A swordsman in black came out of the deserted Sutra Library in the back mountain of the Seven Sects Temple in Focheng.

The swordsman had a handsome face and noble clothes. He wore a black robe with gold threads, but his clothes were full of the air of the martial arts world. He had a long sword and a wine gourd.

The swordsman left the Sutra Library.

The mountain road that had not been walked for a long time was overgrown with weeds. Some of the weeds were as tall as a person, and the sides were quite sharp, cutting people's cheeks painfully.

After walking for about half an incense stick of time on the mountain road, he finally saw a half-figure. It was a patrolling Buddhist soldier. The Buddhist soldier also noticed him and immediately stepped forward to ask about the situation, his expression full of vigilance.

From his words and actions, it was clear that he was a new soldier. If he was an old soldier, most of them would just pretend not to see him. After all, this Sutra Pavilion is said to be an important place for Buddhism, with countless classics, but in more than a year, almost no one has been here. The mountain road a little higher is already covered with weeds. Guarding this place is just a superficial effort.

Li Changxiao naturally explained that he had drunk too much last night and walked here inexplicably. He himself was also very confused.

The Buddhist soldier heard this and glanced at Li Changxiao up and down. After a little consideration in his heart, he let him go. He also knew that the Sutra Pavilion in the back mountain was always haunted.

The swordsman left the temple from the small path and walked on the street. Looking at the street scenes on both sides, he sighed at the great changes in the outside world. He had only been in seclusion for a year, but the Buddhist city actually built high buildings and the business on the street became more diverse.

Yu Luosha often came out to steal wine, and the stolen wine was getting better and better. It seemed that there was a reason.

Li Changxiao was carrying a sack on his back. The five hundred taels of silver had not been used up until today. Of course, if he wanted to delve into the reason, he would naturally have to thank this dedicated and cold-faced Rakshasa. If it weren't for her, it might have been stolen long ago.

He bought a meat pie and gave a few more copper coins when paying. He took the opportunity to talk to the meat pie stall owner and asked about the affairs of the Buddha City. The meat pie stall owner laughed and told Li Changxiao that a year ago, an army captured the Buddha City and went straight into the orthodox temple.

The so-called orthodox temples were all killed overnight, and then another temple was built, which was also the only temple in the Buddha City. In the early days of the temple, it recruited real Buddhist practitioners from all over the world. After passing the three debates of Buddhism, they could obtain monk status and settle down in the temple from then on, away from the mundane world, and accompanied by the ancient Buddha with green lamps.

In the future, Buddhists can only go to that temple to burn incense. If Buddhist practitioners want to enter the temple, it depends on fate.

After that,

The atmosphere in Focheng became more and more open, and it began to attract merchants, farm, and build civil engineering. After a year, it became what it is today.

After a brief chat, Li Changxiao ate a meat pie while strolling in Focheng, wondering which person in power had set his eyes on this piece of fat meat in Focheng.

This doubt was answered when he passed a corner.

His expression became strange.

He saw a shop with a grand decoration. On the plaque hanging high at the door, there were four big characters: Lianmin Pawnshop.

He thought, he knew who was responsible for everything in Focheng.

Whether it was good or bad, no comment.

After Li Changxiao came out of retreat, he followed the mountain road in his memory and found the old site of Kongwo Temple. It was empty and covered with dust.

After turning around and leaving, Li Changxiao went to the only temple in Focheng to burn incense, and bought some tributes and a few incense sticks on the way.

After burning incense and worshipping Buddha, Li Changxiao left the temple and found a wine alley. He filled two wine gourds with wine, which were heavy. He patted them. The sound of the wine rolling inside made him feel very comfortable.

Then...

On a bleak autumn night.

The swordsman left the Buddhist city.

......

The autumn wind blew into Changwu City.

The weather was slightly cool.

This year's harvest was not bad.

The faces of the people were full of smiles. The richest family in Changwu City, the Su family, had been powerful for many years because of the small population. Although they were powerful, they acted cautiously and treated others kindly, fearing that they would damage their virtue and the Su family would be cut off.

Years of charity have accumulated a good reputation for the Su family in Changwu City.

Recently, the Su family had a big happy event and planned to hold a big banquet and send out invitations. Most of the officials and merchants in Changwu City showed up. Before it started, it was already shrouded in a festive atmosphere.

The old man of the Su family was in high spirits when he saw the happy event. His face was rosy. He waved his hand and planned to set up dozens of more banquets on the three streets outside the old house of the Su family.

Any passing wanderers, farmers, and merchants could have a feast as long as they said something auspicious.

And the big happy event was naturally the marriage of the young master of the Su family.

The old man of the Su family felt as if he had taken off a heavy burden. He finally waited for today. Since the boy came back from Focheng, he seemed to have opened his mind and began to take over the family business step by step. Later, he fell in love with the eldest daughter of the Liu family. After a few visits, the man was in love with the concubine, and they were well matched.

There was no elopement drama. It was just natural. It couldn't be better.

The old man of the Su family spent a lot of thought on it. He had long reached the time to enjoy his old age, but no one took over, so he had to support it alone.

The wedding day.

The firecrackers of the Su family rang.

The young master of the Su family was tall and straight, wearing a festive red robe, with a strong smile on his face, full of vigor and vitality, riding a tall horse, with a big red flower pinned on his chest.

The wedding procession behind him was beating gongs and drums, lion and dragon dances, people on both sides were watching, and a three-year-old child was running wildly with firecrackers.

Enter the bride, take a seat, serve tea, worship the hall, worship heaven and earth..., after a set of procedures, the old man in the hall burst into tears.

The banquet began in a lively manner.

The bride was sent to the bridal chamber. The charming lady was uneasy and shy. Su Yun comforted her and asked her to wait. He went to toast first.

In the banquet.

Su Yun raised the wine glass and toasted his parents first, then the elders and friends...

His face was flushed all the way. He was drunk and began to stagger. The procedures were completed and he could enter the bridal chamber, but Su Yun was in high spirits and wanted to toast the banquet on the third street outside the Su family.

So he took the wine glass and walked out of the Su Mansion, holding the wine glass high to toast all the people who came to support him.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Su Yun was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were attracted by a figure in white at the banquet.

Under the moonlight.

A gentle breeze.

That figure, with a gentle smile on his face, also looked over here, raised his wine glass and gently raised it.

Su Yun paused, a smile also appeared on his face, raised his wine glass towards the swordsman in white, and murmured, "Cheers."
