Qingyunxian

Chapter 159: Banquet

Su Huan stayed by Liu Xun's side until the effect of "holding an equal hand in hand" in his body was broken.

After cutting off the red lotus, the intertwined branches once again cast three rays of light for Liu Xun.

However, the scene was so complicated that no one could tell how many rays of light and shadow Liu Xun was affected by.

Liu Xun watched as the intertwined branches entered his soul court and settled on the crow's nest, transforming into gray and dull branches, disguising themselves as part of the crow's nest. If one did not look carefully, one would definitely overlook it.

With an idea in his mind, Liu Xun channeled the aura of the Desolate Sutra and gently brushed it over the intertwined branches.

However, the three intertwined branches did not move at all, which was beyond Liu Xun's expectation.

It seems that the branches transformed by light and shadow are not the true essence of the intertwined branches, otherwise, with the help of the Wilderness Sutra, Liu Xun could easily erase the influence of the intertwined branches.

Liu Xun's face darkened slightly. The "equal treatment" was gone, but the "intertwined branches" appeared.

Fortunately, Lianlizhi is not as weak as Ju'an Qimei, so Liu Xun can resolve the issue once he has the right means, so there is no need to rush.

Liu Xun turned to look at the tearful Su Huan and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes: "I'm fine."

Afterwards, Liu Xun told Yun Bao about his respect for Yun Bao.

Naturally, the inside story has changed a lot.

Su Huan burst into laughter and held on to Liu Xun's hand and clothes, refusing to let go.

Meng Qingyi's innocent voice rang out: "I told you, Brother Cao is not the kind of person who would break his heart!"

He had just learned from a few old ghosts what the Dao Yunbao of Marriage was, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Except for a few people who couldn't withstand the Sin Tomb formation, the rest completed the whole journey and passed the fifth level.

It seems like some leniency and there is no real test, but this test will accompany everyone throughout their lives. If you are unfaithful, you will pay a huge price.

If you have the strength of more than five seedlings, you don't have to worry.

Otherwise, even if you die, your body will be buried in the tomb of sins and you will never have peace.

As everyone walked out of the tomb of sin, the formation behind them was instantly closed. Those who were obsessed with betrayal reluctantly retreated back to the tomb and were sealed up again.

From this moment on, they are considered the sons-in-law of Wu Miao.

As long as they are blessed again, they can be officially included in the famous list of the Five Miao people.

Affected by the Tomb of Sin and the subtle influence of the intertwined branches, these men and women developed a slight affection for each other.

As time goes by, unless there are any accidents, we will grow old together.

Liu Xunyu frowned when no one was watching. He felt a little resistant to the influence of fate.

But now that he was in Wumiao, he could not show any abnormality.

Now that it has come to this, it won’t be too late to leave after receiving the blessing.

If one can be blessed in the core area, one can get close to the inheritance of the goddess.

It's a pity that I didn't receive the blessing together with Guo Qingxue.
Liu Xun glanced at Guo Qingxue imperceptibly. She was supporting Liang Shuo with a shy smile.

If nothing unexpected happens, Liang Shuo should be Guo Qingxue's husband.

Liu Xun had a puzzled look in his eyes. He didn't expect that Liang Shuo was actually from the devil's sect.

Without pointing it out for the time being, Liu Xun and Su Huan went down the back mountain together.

After the five stages of selecting a son-in-law, instead of being blessed directly, there will be a brief drinking party.

Drinking in a banquet is also an established custom. Only after drinking the wine brewed by a Wu Miao girl herself, can one be considered to be truly willing to be the son-in-law of the Wu Miao people.

Of course, this is just a formality. Because of the existence of the intertwined branches, you have to think twice before going back on your word.

Perhaps a long time ago, the drinking party was used to accommodate the groom-in-law to change his mind, but now, it is only used to enhance the relationship between men and women.

At the banquet, the bonfire was burning brightly, and delicious food was placed in front of everyone, but there was no wine.

Above are the seats of five highly respected Miao elders, who are here to witness the new son-in-law entering the Miao land.

The Miao girls dressed in their best came in graceful and elegant steps, holding a small wine jar in their hands. The spout of the jar was like a mandarin duck, and the body of the jar was painted with things that the Miao girls were good at, such as embroidery, poetry, or planting cloud plants.

Su Huan was wearing a plain-colored, sleeved fairy dress with hanging sashes, and a red bean branch was pinned on her hair. Her plump face was flushed with shame. Her fierceness had long gone, and her girlish shyness was fully revealed.

"Cao Lang, drink this cup." Su Huan poured a glass of wine into the wine jar. The wine was transparent and mellow, making people salivate.

But Zhong Yan couldn't wait to drink it.

Liu Xun smiled warmly, took the wine bottle from Su Huan's hand, half covered it with his left hand, raised his head and drank the whole glass of wine.

"Good wine!" Liu Xun only felt the fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth, as intense as a girl's first love.

"This is made from the angelica dahurica I picked from the mountains and the wine fruit on the cliff." Seeing Liu Xun's admiration, Su Huan smiled and her eyes curved like crescent moons.

Liu Xun looked at Su Huan's smiling face and sighed in his heart.

I don't know what she will think after I leave.

An unfaithful person. Well, this place is just a place for Liu Xun to pass by. He aims for longevity, not love.

Having indulged in romantic affairs in his previous life, Liu Xun had long since seen through love and it was mostly just a passing fancy.

But in Su Huan, he seemed to see himself as the young Mu Ai when he first arrived in the Great Wilderness in his previous life.

Liu Xun drank another glass of wine and suppressed his distracting thoughts.

The more he drank, the clearer Liu Xun's eyes became.

The Five Miao elders who were seated on the throne were talking to each other, and the final blessing needed to be completed in the core area, which was where the Five Miao Goddess preached in the past.

The so-called blessing is the power left by the goddess to bless the newlyweds. When they tie the knot, their auras will be intertwined with each other, and their cultivation will be improved together.

From now on, as long as one of them continues to improve in cultivation, the other one won’t have to worry about stagnation.

At the same time, some major bottlenecks before ascending to heaven will become weaker. This is the legacy left by the goddess.

It is thanks to the new son-in-law's talent and the goddess' blessing that Wu Miao has come this far.

Those medieval clans with deep roots are still buried in time, and only the Wu Miao can still survive. It has to be said that there is a reason for this.

The closer to the core area, the better the blessing effect.

The power left by the goddess is limited, and it is impossible for everyone to reach the core area to receive blessings.

Therefore, they need to be divided into different levels, even if it is not obvious, so that they can go to the place where the goddess preaches.

The elders were discussing how to arrange the seats so that the new sons-in-law could receive blessings.

"In my opinion, we should just rank them based on their strength." Xue Fu waved his fan lightly, looking casual.

He felt that cultivation was the most important thing, and people would be judged based on their strength. The strong ones would go to the core area, and the others would be arranged outwards in order.

Luo Yuanhua shook his head: "Not appropriate, our Wu Miao land does not value strength, this is inconsistent with what outsiders know, we should be based on the five levels of evaluation."

"Yuanhua, ah Yuanhua, you just care about your face." Xue Fu sighed three times, which attracted An Youyi's stern gaze.

"Okay." Xue Fu patted his fan and stopped talking.

He knew that if he said any more, he would be condemned by the crowd.

An Youyi said: "I agree to use the five-level evaluation as the standard."

Elder Jin Miao and Granny Hong looked at the younger Yun Xian's argument, looked at each other, and then nodded.

Luo Yuanhua was right. The biggest advantage of Wu Miao is not the legacy left by the goddess, but the perception of Wu Miao by outsiders.

The Wu Miao people have always been trustworthy, and the ceremony at the Five Passes is the best proof of this.

If you don’t want the new son-in-law to feel resentful, it is best to evaluate his performance in the five stages to determine his position when receiving the blessing.

However, this still requires a buffering process.

There is not much ranking based on the performance in the five levels. If we look at the overall results, there are a few people whose performances are very good, and it is difficult to decide the top spot.

Elder Jin Miao was highly respected. He glanced at everyone and made a decision: "Let's decide the winner at this banquet. This way, we can give these young people an explanation."
