Xuantian 1: Ancient Xuandongtian

For the next two weeks, Lin Mengge and Mu Hanchan stayed in the cave.

Mu Hanchan concentrated on training, while Lin Mengge watched the condition of the ice silkworms after training, and fed a spirit stone on time every week.

On this day, I suddenly received a letter.

"You said it was sent to me?" Mu Hanchan asked.

Xiao Ren's voice came from outside the waterfall: "Yes, the sender is Yanmoshan Moshengmen. It is probably your senior brother who sent the letter in the name of the teacher's gate. You should take a look!"

So Mu Hanchan read the letter.

Lin Mengge also came over and asked, "What did you say?"

"It's nothing, I have a task arranged for me again."

"Can't you go? Stay with me well."

"This doesn't work, it's distributed to the following disciples on a regular basis. It's the same for every sect."

After Lin Mengge heard this, she understood that Mu Hanchan must leave her, and she looked unhappy.Even if, this departure is temporary.

Mu Hanchan comforted, "Senior Brother Six seems to have mentioned this time, I don't need to go to the master's gate, and I won't go back to the master's gate. The task is completed, and it's fine to hand in the task in the next year.

Straightforward, up to two weeks. "

"Okay! Where are you going?"

"Huizhou."

Mu Hanchan said again: "It's okay this time, it's not that far away, the last time I went to Jiaozhou, it was too far away, and it was too hot to die.

It would be great if the missions could be arranged near Dayan Imperial City. "

"That's not necessarily true. If it was arranged in the imperial city, the difficulty of the task might be much higher.

The various forces in the imperial city are intricate, and it will be very troublesome to deal with things, and they cannot fight in the city. "

Lin Mengge helped analyze it.

Mu Hanchan thought about it and felt it made sense, so he calmed down.

A week later, a government courtyard in Huizhou.

"Hey, have your Xu family fought enough? Can you tell me whether your daughter will marry or not?" A middleman seemed a little impatient.

"Heh, we have already said that the high-grade magic weapon, the dowry gift of 28.8 spirit stones, and the cultivation of the spirit yuan realm are indispensable. Their Wu family can only give a dowry gift of 28.8 spirit stones? "A woman said without giving an inch.

At this time, another young man said angrily: "Aren't you bullying people? High-grade magical artifacts cost hundreds of spirit stones. How many people in our Yuan Condensation Realm can have high-grade magical artifacts? Also, if my brother If it was the Lingyuan Realm, he would have been recruited into the sect long ago, and would he stay in Huizhou to work?

Besides, what is your daughter's cultivation level?Don't know? "

The woman retorted: "My daughter has already broken through to the ninth level of Condensation Yuan at the age of 20. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a genius? And my daughter has also dated monks in the Lingyuan Realm.

Besides, my daughter is beautiful, even cultivators in the Lingyuan Realm are pampered and held in high esteem. Could it be that she married into your Wu family to be wronged? "

"20-year-old Condensation Ninth Layer? Why don't you mention why it's been 8 years and you're still on the ground?"

"you!"

"I also dated a monk in the spirit realm, since that monk doted on you so much and praised your daughter, why did you break up in the end?" the young man said angrily without retreating at all.

"Hmph, he was assigned by my daughter. His cultivation level is higher, but what's the use if he doesn't have time to spend with my daughter?" the woman said again.

The middleman said: "Hey, that's all right, all right, both of you don't talk about it, don't argue. We, as matchmakers, can't mediate your matter. Fortunately, both of you have made contributions to the Shangzong. Zong's Zongshitang has already assigned tasks to the disciples of each sect, and your marriage issues are also listed in the task column.

It is estimated that someone will receive it, or the deacons and elders will appoint it.

In short, what I want to tell you is that in two days, the mediator of Shangzong will arrive immediately.You should pay attention to your image and talk calmly.Try to get things out of the way. "

"What? Why did this incident startle Shang Zong?" The woman trembled.

The middleman said: "I reported it, and I can't let my reputation be ruined in your hands. If I can't solve the problem, let someone with a higher status solve it.

After finishing speaking, he left. Before leaving, he murmured, "What does it look like? It's so noisy."

Two days later, a young man wearing a blue wooden armor, a black cloak, and a spear wrapped in black thread came to the mansion.

"Excuse me, is this the Wu Mansion?"

"Yes, are you?"

"I am the seventh disciple of the Mosheng School of Yanmo Mountain of the Yunyang Sect. My name is Mu Hanchan. I was ordered by my master to mediate the marriage dispute between the Xu and Wu families."

"Yanmoshan Moshengmen? Are you an official disciple?"

"Yes. It's just a task assigned by the Zongshitang to our Moshengmen. The senior brother saw that I was the most suitable, so he assigned me to handle this matter." "Oh?"

So he went in to report, and after a while, a man who was over fifty years old, dressed in fine clothes, and with gray temples came out to greet him.

"Oh, I'm a disciple from the last sect. I'm so far away. I hope you can forgive me." This man is a perfect cultivation base of both spiritual realms.

Mu Hanchan said: "It's not your fault, I'm only here for a mission, and I can't make you wait at the door all day."

"Huh?" The man was stunned for a moment, and the servants beside him were also stunned.

The man immediately came back to his senses and said, "Please go into the mansion and discuss it in detail."

Mu Hanchan followed into the mansion.

"So, it's because the other party raised the price on the ground, not because you are dishonest?" Mu Hanchan asked after understanding the matter.

The young man said: "It's not that the other party set the price on the ground. Their family asked for it from the beginning. But we thought, we have been with my brother for three years, and my brother has paid a lot to her. When it's time to get married, There must be something human, so I thought about negotiating terms with them again.

Unexpectedly, the mother and daughter did not regress in the slightest. "

"Aren't the mother and daughter regressing?" Mu Hanchan asked with a frown, feeling that things were a little tricky.

The young man said: "Yes. My brother also doted on her and held her when we got along. But their family doesn't seem to think it's a kind of sacrifice."

After thinking for a while, Mu Hanchan asked, "Is it absolutely impossible for you to meet the conditions they raised, or is it difficult to achieve, or is it possible to achieve but don't want to do it?"

"Second, it's hard to do. The dowry gift of 28.8 spirit stones is a bit expensive, and the dowry gifts of other people's families are all 18.8 spirit stones. Some even have 8.8 spirit stones."

"What about Articles [-] and [-]?"

Mu Hanchan asked again.

"The first one is fine. My brother uses a medium-grade magic weapon. It has been more than ten years. Our family can upgrade it, but the top-grade one is too difficult. But the third one is impossible. Or in a short time Absolutely impossible."

"What's the third one?"

"He asked my brother to break through to the spirit realm before he would marry."

"What is the realm of the other party?"

"Ninth layer of condensed essence, and has not made progress for eight years. It seems to be still in the middle of the ninth layer of condensed essence."

"What is your brother's realm?"

"The initial stage of the twelfth layer of condensed yuan."

"Oh. In this way, it is indeed impossible to break through to the spirit realm in a short period of time. If there are no special circumstances." Mu Hanchan said.

"Yes." The man also said with emotion.

Mu Hanchan asked again: "What is the other party's condition, can you tell me?"

"20-year-old Ninth-Layer Condensation Yuan, my brother is 25-year-old Ninth-Layer Condensation Yuan. But now she is 28, still Ninth-Layer Condensation Yuan, seems to be barely in the middle stage. My brother is now 35, early twelfth-layer Condensation Yuan."

"Ah, if you compare it like this, it seems that your brother is more advanced."

"Yes. That's why she didn't like my brother at all when she was a matchmaker for the first time eight years ago. Then she immediately found a monk in the spiritual realm to date. After breaking up, she didn't find my brother, but dated again. A few of them failed, so they agreed to get along with my brother."

"."

Mu Hanchan was also speechless after hearing this.

Asked: "Then why are you still willing to accept this marriage?"

"Because my brother needs to find a daughter-in-law. It doesn't matter if she is a Taoist companion. In fact, if you don't reach the spiritual realm, your other half can't be called a Taoist companion. The last sect is only registered in the spiritual realm."

The man said: "However, I didn't expect that we endured humiliation and compromised, but the other party intensified. But this intensification is not immediate, but slow.

Perhaps from the very beginning, I also knew that I was wronged and felt ashamed, and I restrained myself a lot at the beginning. "

Mu Hanchan asked: "What do you think, in this relationship and marriage, do you belong to the strong side or the weak side?"

"The weak side."

"Then you are more eager to combine, or the other party is more eager to combine."

"We should all want to marry, but we are more eager. Because our conditions are lowered, but as long as the other party does not meet their conditions, they will not marry."

"Is it emotional?" Mu Hanchan asked again.

The man thought for a while, shook his head and replied: "I don't think so, she still looks down on my son up to now, it's just a compromise out of desperation, and the compromise is still not reconciled, so she sticks to the standard and seeks a Mind balance."

"She is balanced? She doesn't even look at herself. Apart from being pretty and having a good figure, she is not a good wife and mother at all. She is proud, playful, and completely self-centered," the young man said.

Mu Hanchan frowned and asked, "What is your son's intention?"

"I like it, but I don't love it. I just feel that there is no hope for the spiritual realm, so I obey our arrangement."

After hearing this, Mu Hanchan roughly analyzed the main information.

He said: "From this point of view, if you want to succeed, I'm afraid you have to compromise again. Because you are on the weak side, and your desire for marriage is greater than that of the other party."

"It's not that I am greater than each other, but that I respect marriage more than each other. Our cost is also greater than that of each other. My brother likes but doesn't love, out of helplessness. She not only doesn't like my brother, but also has a broken attitude."

Mu Hanchan said, "This is not important. The mission given to me by the sect is to mediate the conflict between you. If the mediation is successful and the engagement agreement is signed, my mission will be considered complete."

"I still say that, you are weak, you compromise. You are eager, you compromise. Only in this way can you succeed, understand?" added.

"understood."

The man said in a weak tone.

Mu Hanchan said: "My task time is only two weeks, and it takes a week to go back and forth, so without delay, contact the other party. Two days later, we will start to discuss the issues of the two of you."

"Ok."

Two days later.

In the main hall of the Wu Mansion, both parties sat on the sides, while Mu Hanchan sat in the center.

"I am the seventh disciple of the Mosheng Sect of Yanmo Mountain in the Yunyang Sect. I am ordered by the Sect to mediate the marriage conflict between your two families. I read the attachment of the letter sent to me by the Sect. The ancestors of your two families have given me A certain deacon and elder of Zongshi made great contributions and help. So your two families have names in Zongshitang.

This time, the matchmakers of both of you couldn't solve the problem, so you reported it to the Zongmen, and the Zongmen happened to assign me.

I hope this matter can be properly resolved, this is my mission this time. "

Mu Hanchan eloquently explained the cause and effect.

"It can be resolved properly, it depends on the Wu family's attitude." The woman said.

Mu Hanchan frowned, he didn't expect the woman to be so shameless, and instantly felt that this matter was even more difficult.

"What's the attitude? What you're asking for is something that can't be done." The Patriarch of the Wu Mansion said.

"We made this request from the beginning, when did it change?"

"That's the requirement from the beginning. Why do you want to associate with us if we didn't meet the standard? We have provided your daughter with a lot of cultivation resources in the past three years, right? Is this considered a favor?"

"What kind of favor? Isn't it natural that your family treats our daughter well? In short, the conditions for marriage are indispensable." The woman said.

Mu Hanchan interjected at this moment: "Let me say something first, it is unrealistic for you to demand that you must have a spiritual realm. If your Xu family insists on getting stuck on the man's cultivation base and will not back down, I think this mediation There is no need to continue. I will return to my family immediately, even if my mission has failed this time.

Because I don't have the ability to make a monk in the early stage of the twelfth layer of condensed essence become a monk in the spiritual realm overnight. "

After that, he stood up.

The woman was stunned for a moment, she obviously didn't expect Mu Hanchan to give her a blow when she came up.Although she was perfect in the single state of Lingyuan, she couldn't help feeling guilty when she saw Mu Hanchan standing up, wearing the uniform of Yunyang Sect disciples, with the Baiyun Lieyang embroidery on it, and the identity card and task card hanging around her waist. .

The young woman on the side was also surprised. She didn't expect the mediator from Shangzong to have such an attitude.

The Patriarch of the Wu family was the first to reflect, and quickly said: "Where, Xu's family is also eager to love their daughters, so the requirements are a bit strict, but in the end the heart is still right. It is just that the dog must be in the spirit realm, but it is not true. It's difficult for some strong people."

Then he said: "Mrs. Xu, both of us came from the Condensed Origin Realm. You also know that the Spiritual Yuan Realm can't be broken through in ten or eight years? I hope your family will show their respect in this regard!"

Mu Hanchan was stunned, he didn't expect the Patriarch of the Wu family to say good things for the other party, and even had a pleading look on his face.

But it also made him see more clearly the marriage situation of the two families.

So he said: "Does the Xu family still have to require the son of the Wu family to be in the spiritual realm?"

The woman looked at Mu Hanchan, but she still didn't sit down, and said, "Hmph! It doesn't matter if it's not in the spirit realm, but it must be a high-grade magic weapon. Also, the betrothal price must be increased."

"what?"

The head of the Wu family and his second son were stunned, and asked, "Isn't 28.8 spirit stones enough for the dowry? The average price of the dowry in Huizhou is only 18.8 spirit stones! Some good families only need 8.8 spirit stones, but they are just trying to figure it out." Auspicious, my daughter is also virtuous and courteous."

"Then you go to someone else's daughter, it's not that your son is envious of my daughter's beauty and figure, and volunteered to be a dog." The woman said meanly.

This sentence angered the Wu family, and the Patriarch of the Wu family and his second son immediately changed their expressions.

"you!"

"stop!"

Mu Hanchan immediately waved his hand to stop, looked at the Xu family's wife with some displeasure, and asked, "Do you want to marry your daughter?"

"I want to, but only if the other party is qualified."

"If you intend to marry, please be respectful and don't use any insulting words to express your opinions and opinions. Also, please lower your emotions. It is not good to talk about things full of emotions and dissatisfaction."

"it is good!"

"Row."

Mu Hanchan just sat down and asked, "Where's your eldest son?"

The head of the Wu family replied: "Fishing in the pond."

"Call him."

"Ok."

So, the head of the Wu family ordered his servants to call.

Wufu Pond.

"Master, hurry to the main hall."

"Go to Zhengtang, I want to go fishing."

"The discussion is about your marriage. How can you not be there?"

"I'm very Buddhist now. I can achieve success, but I can't fail."

"That doesn't work either. The disciples of the Shangzong are here to do the mediation work. You must come."

"That's fine."

At this time, the middle-aged man reluctantly got up.But he didn't even collect the fishing gear, and seemed to want to deal with it and go back quickly.

Mu Hanchan saw the man and looked him over.

Then he asked, "What do you think of the dowry gift of 28.8 spirit stones?"

"It's all my savings from the ages of 25 to 35."

After hearing this, Mu Hanchan asked the lady of the Xu family: "Look, he has already given everything to himself. And the dowry gift of 28.8 spirit stones is considered relatively good in Huizhou. Can you accept or compromise on this point?" Woolen cloth?"

"No, you don't have to force it in the spirit realm, but the dowry must be increased." The woman said.

Mu Hanchan frowned.

Ask: "How much do you want to improve?"

"Until we are satisfied."

Mu Hanchan said displeasedly: "Now it's a negotiation between the two parties, and I'll mediate. You explain your conditions clearly, don't give vague ideas, and don't show embarrassment. Are you embarrassing them, or embarrassing me? Or Yunyangzong turned his face?"

After all, he took off his ID card and slapped it on the table.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the woman shivered in fright.

Then he said: "Add another ten spirit stones, 38.8 spirit stones. Add a high-grade magic weapon, and our daughter will marry."

"However, our government's financial expenditure has been tight recently. 10 Lingshi, that's ten taels of gold. We really can't get it so easily." The Patriarch of the Wu family said in embarrassment.

"Do you know what it has to do with us? If you can't tell us, we won't marry. Our daughter is beautiful and has a good figure. Some people like it.

If you are poor, don’t marry a wife. We forced you to marry?
Don't marry me if you think what we want is expensive.Are we forcing you to marry our daughter? "

Mu Hanchan suddenly asked: "What is your intention? What do you think of your mother's statement?"

The young woman looked at Mu Hanchan, and seemed to know that the young mediator had a bad temper, so she didn't dare to say anything, she could only say: "I listen to my mother, and my mother will do whatever she says."

After hearing this, Mu Hanchan knew that it was not up to the woman to solve the problem, so she stopped asking her.

So I asked the Wu family: "What about you? What do you think? Add ten Lingshi, can you get it?"

"We." The head of the Wu family seemed embarrassed.

The woman said: "It's okay if you don't reach the spiritual realm, but the price of the dowry must be increased. Our daughter has been with monks in the spiritual realm."

At this time, Mu Hanchan was not happy, and asked, "How many Taoist couples has your lady dated?"

"Eh? Not much. You can count on two hands."

"Then may I ask how many Taoist couples you associate with are in the spirit realm?"

The woman's voice immediately became quieter, and she said, "I've only heard of one." "Then that is to say, on the condition of a noble lady, it's a small probability event to have a relationship with a Taoist partner in the spirit realm. I'm right, right?" Mu Hanchan said.

The woman didn't want to admit it directly, and said: "Even if it's a small probability event, since we've dated, there is a possibility of marriage."

So Mu Hanchan took out a piece of parchment from the package.

After looking at it, he said: "This is the information carried in the attachment of the letter from the sect, as a reference for me to mediate this incident. You can read the words in the third paragraph yourself."

and gave the parchment to the woman.

When the woman finally saw it, her expression changed and she stopped talking.

Because the third paragraph says that among the last Jiazi of Yunyangzong, the proportion of men and women who applied to become Taoist couples.

Men cultivated in the spiritual realm, and females cultivated in the spiritual realm and above, accounting for 16%.

Males cultivate the Lingyuan realm, and females cultivate the twelfth level of Condensed Yuan, accounting for 22%.

Men cultivated the Lingyuan realm, and women cultivated the 31th level of Ningyuan, accounting for [-]%.

Men cultivated in the spirit realm, and women cultivated in the 18th level of Ningyuan, accounting for [-]%.

Men cultivated in the spirit realm, and women cultivated in the ninth level and below, accounting for 13%.

After the woman finished reading it, Mu Hanchan took back the parchment and asked, "This is the big data given by the Yunyang Sect. Do you still think that your daughter, with a cultivation base of the ninth level of Condensed Yuan, is dating a monk in the Lingyuan Realm?" , can successfully register as a Taoist companion, is there a high probability?"

"That's fine, we won't mention the matter of cultivation base. But dowry gift and high-grade magic weapon must be available." The woman said again.

Mu Hanchan asked again: "Why do you need a high-grade magic weapon?"

"It's so embarrassing not to have a high-grade magic weapon. A male cultivator, at the twelfth level of Condensation Yuan, doesn't even have a high-grade magic weapon." The woman said again.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man suddenly said: "How many people in the Condensed Origin Realm have high-grade magical artifacts? Even if I have a high-grade magical artifact, if I can't become a monk in the Spiritual Origin Realm, my lifespan will not be increased.

On the contrary, this high-grade magic weapon will take up a lot of my spirit stones, but it can't bring me more benefits. "

"Then we don't care. You don't have a high-grade magic weapon. I don't think you have the ability to protect my daughter." The woman said.

Mu Hanchan asked: "May I ask what grade of magic weapon your aunt uses?"

"A medium-grade magic weapon. I'm an incompetent mother, and I've always wanted to get a better magic weapon for my daughter, but unfortunately I don't have the ability." The woman said with some self-blame.

"Then you shouldn't impose your powerlessness on the man. If your daughter is also a middle-grade magic weapon, it means that your family's conditions are limited.

I don't think you should be too demanding on the other party. "

Only then did Mu Hanchan mediate.

"But he is a man, but he uses the same magic weapon as my daughter. I can't accept it, and neither can my daughter."

The woman actually shed a few tears, feeling very wronged, as if she was afraid that her daughter would not marry well.

He also said: "And his medium-grade magic weapon is still second-hand. The middle-grade magic weapon I bought for my daughter is at least first-hand."

Unexpectedly, these words angered the middle-aged man, and he said angrily: "My magic weapon is second-hand? My magic weapon is second-hand, and I also earned the spirit stone myself. It's not my father who bought it for me.

My magic weapon is second-hand, how many hands does your daughter own?Marry me, pure?Is it first hand?
I can't even marry a first-hand wife, you still want a first-hand magic weapon? "

The woman said, "My daughter is 28 years old, how many men have slept with? Haven't you slept with other women?"

"Now you are asking me, not I asking you, please make it clear." Nanxiu said angrily.

Seeing that the situation was escalating, Mu Hanchan interrupted: "Okay, don't get entangled in this matter anymore. In my opinion, there is not much difference between first-hand and second-hand for medium-grade magic weapons. It is indeed enough for self-use. There is nothing wrong with it. But If you get married, I think you need to upgrade to a lower level, such as upgrading to the upper middle class, if your Wu family has this ability."

The man was still angry, and said: "Upgrading is possible. Our family can do it by gritting their teeth and squeezing out some spirit stones. However, our family's financial resources can only support us to buy mid-level and high-grade magic tools. High-grade magic tools are really impossible. And you have to buy second-hand ones for middle and top grades.”

"You!" The woman trembled angrily.

Mu Hanchan also frowned, for a while, he didn't know how to mediate.

The head of the Wu family said: "It's not that we have to buy second-hand ones, I don't mean to humiliate you and your daughter, but the high-grade magic weapon is really rare.

In the Condensed Origin Realm Advanced Cultivator, at most one out of a hundred monks has a high-grade magic weapon, you know this situation.

Our son is just an ordinary person, not that one-in-a-million strong man. "

"A middle-to-high-grade magic weapon is also acceptable, but it must be first-hand, and there is a betrothal gift, which must be increased by another ten yuan, 38.8 Lingshi. Or 38.8 taels of gold are also acceptable."

The Patriarch of the Wu family thought for a while, and said, "It's okay to increase the dowry price a little bit more, but the upper-middle-grade magic weapon in this hand is real and expensive."

"Anyway, I must have a first-hand magic weapon. Which girl is getting married, and the man's family hasn't got anything new yet? A new weapon for the bride." The woman said.

The head of the Wu family was in a dilemma for a long time, and said, "That's good."

"No, you have to buy a second-hand one. The performance of the first-hand and the second-hand is not much different. The difference is at most 15%, but the price difference is 45%. I get married to live.

Besides, my mother is bedridden due to her illness and needs a second-order elixir for maintenance, and my younger brother still needs to practice. He has good aptitude, and he may be able to break through to the spirit realm in the future and take over the Wu family from you.

Our Wu family is also somewhat related to Feiyemen, so we may be able to develop it by then. "The middle-aged man said suddenly.

But the woman said: "No, the new utensil matches the bride."

But the young woman said: "Forget it, mother. That's it, I'm married."

When Mu Hanchan saw that the two parties had finally reached an agreement, he asked the two parties to sign an engagement agreement and sign the Zongmen's mediation task. This task was finally completed.
