Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 186 Pei Yi's Wedding
On the first day of March in the 427th year of Qianfeng in the reign of David, it was a good time to go to the sun and offer sacrifices, and the gods on duty were peaceful and calm.

Today is the day when Pei Yi, the elder who transmits martial arts in Chongming Sect, gets married, and the new bride is naturally the youngest sister of the Kuai family.

The girl is pretty and young. She has been worried about this marriage in her boudoir for so long. Today, she finally gets her wish and can marry Pei Yi. She is so happy.

The Tanggu and Kuai family was just a very small family, so the pomp of Pei Yi's wedding could not be compared with that of the head of Kangda.

However, compared to the wedding banquet between Emperor Chongming and the Fei family, today's wedding is much more festive.

The people who came that day were all the forces that were very close to Chongmingzong. He Dezong finally sat at the main table and had a good drink with the groom.

Yuan Jin was so drunk that he drove away the musicians and took the bixiao himself, playing it with great pleasure. He also called Yuan Changsheng to come over and play with him.
Ye Zhengwen was staring at Lu Zhen with one eye, pinching his nose and forcing him to drink;
Tie Xishan put his arm around Zhou Yixiu's neck and spoke affectionately;

He Degong and Lu Xun played finger-guessing with Jiang Qing, who was usually very difficult to get close to. They lost miserably but drank happily. He Yuanbing poured wine beside them. Seeing his father in this state, he felt a little embarrassed, but Jiang Qing became happier the more he drank. He Yuanbing did not dare to stop pouring wine for even a moment.

Zhou Xinran led a group of noisy younger generations to the bride to ask for money. The little ones kept calling her "Master's wife" and "Auntie", and the bride was so embarrassed that she dared not look up. In the end, Dong Wanxi and Dong Ningxin came out to rescue her and sent these younger generations away.

Pei Que is already an old man, not a child anymore. Pei Yi, who is like a real father to him, is getting married today. It is the time for him, as a nephew, to contribute. He did not join in the fun with his fellow disciples, but ran around like a little adult, taking over the important tasks that were handled by the elders like Sect Leader Kang.

If we were to ask who was the happiest person between Pei Yi and the younger sister of the Kuai family, it would definitely be the new head of the Kuai family, Kuai En.

When my aunt got married, Kuai En laughed so hard that his eyes became invisible. He drank so much during the banquet that he soon passed out from drinking.

The head of the Kang family, who was sitting at the main table, could not help laughing and hurriedly asked Han Yundao and Duan Anle to help their brother go down to have some rest.

He secretly glanced at the table of female guests and sighed inwardly. The younger sister of the He family was also here today. She was sitting next to the bride and talking to her. Looking at her expression, she didn't seem to be angry at all.

That's good, at least there aren't any cliché plots.

"Alas, I just don't know which little bastard the little sister of the He family will marry." The head of the Kang family still felt it was a pity. As soon as he met He Dezong today, he felt that the aura of this brother was getting stronger and stronger.

If He Dezong succeeds in building his foundation in the future, then relying on the foundation of the He family in Hong County, within a few years, he will be able to form a tightly structured foundation-building force. Chongmingzong will have missed out on a foundation-building relative with considerable influence.

"Or we can give it a try and marry Pei Que to the younger sister of the He family? There's not much difference in age, just in generation." Master Kang shook his head repeatedly as he thought about it.

Compared with many forces outside the David Dynasty, the sects and families under the rule of the Immortal Dynasty are more particular about etiquette and laws. Generally speaking, they will not do anything that is inappropriate.

Although Pei Yi's wedding banquet was not as packed as Kang Dabao's because of the Fei family's daughter's wedding, the current Chongming Sect is no longer the same as before.

Pei Yi is also the elder who teaches martial arts. In name, he is the second most important person in Chongming Sect besides the great leader Kang. He is not a small character.

Therefore, all the powerful forces in Pingrong County sent gifts of varying sizes this time. Even some relatives of Emperor Chongming, who had not been in contact with him for a long time, came to express their gratitude.

Of course, the forces that came were not of high status, and there were only two people who were practicing the foundation-building method: Taoist Black Shoes and Nanny Sun.

The Taoist priest in black shoes only showed up once, said some polite words to the bride and groom about getting along harmoniously, drank the toast, and then left.

It’s not that Taoist Heilu doesn’t like Pei Yi.

In fact, in the eyes of Taoist Heilu, Pei Yi is the most talented of all the younger generations of the Chongming Sect, except Jiang Qing. He is much stronger than a certain sect leader, and he is always taken care of during his lectures.

The reason why the Taoist Hei Lu was unwilling to stay too long was because after he killed the four foundation builders of the Ruijin Sect, he became very famous and attracted many visitors. This made the Taoist Hei Lu feel that he was delaying his cultivation, so he had been living in seclusion for these years. If it wasn't for Pei Yi's wedding, he might not have appeared in front of outsiders.

But then again, this is how people who practice Taoism should be.

Nanny Sun had to work harder, and had to accept many toasts from the heads of various families who came up to her to get close to her.

Don’t think that the true cultivators of the foundation-building stage have died one after another in recent years and seem to be worthless, but in the eyes of these small forces, they are already big figures in the clouds.

Before this, it was possible that some of these people had never seen a living foundation-building person.

Now that Madam Sun was so kind, I decided to give it a try and get close to her. I'd better give it a try first and see if there is any result.

The reason why Nanny Sun acted in this way was because Fei Shuhe was also coming to Pei Yi's wedding.

After she and Kang Dabao had the introductory tea given by the younger sister of the Kuai family as brother and sister-in-law, they sat back at the table for female guests.

Surrounded by a group of female cultivators, she was graceful and elegant in her conversation and laughter, and her choice of words and sentences did not sound arrogant, making these "countryside women" feel like they were basking in the spring breeze.

Even the Dong sisters and head of the family, Kang Da, who had little contact with her, had a different opinion of Fei Shuhe. They felt that their husbands and uncles' complaints about their sister-in-law were unreasonable.

"So what if she hasn't given birth to a child after such a long time of marriage? It's not necessarily just this sister-in-law's problem, right?" Dong Ningxin and her sister Dong Wanxi were exchanging glances.

The two sisters have never been separated since they were young, and when they grew up they even shared the same husband. Naturally, they have an extraordinary tacit understanding between them. They don't need to talk, but can understand each other's intentions with just a glance.

Not satisfied with just looking at her, Dong Ningxin mustered up the courage to lean over to talk to her sister in her ear, but she felt something smooth rubbing against the back of her hand.

"Ah!" Dong Ningxin exclaimed softly, attracting the attention of all the female guests at the table.

A silly-looking little creature with bone armor on its back brushed across the back of Dong Ningxin's hand, swaggered to the plate of red-bristled wild boar elbow, stretched out its little head, and started chewing with big mouthfuls as if no one was around.

Fei Shuhe's eyes showed a rare surprise. Even Nanny Sun, who had just dealt with the heads of a group of small forces and returned to her side, whispered in surprise: "Oh, the old alligator turtle? I haven't seen this auspicious beast for some time. I didn't expect to see it in Yunjiaozhou."

Nanny Sun was a very important figure. Her every word and action as a cultivator of foundation building was closely watched in this occasion. As soon as the three words "Ji Lu Yuan" were uttered, Sect Leader Kang turned his head away in panic.

After all, there is no other "old turtle" who can run rampant in the territory of Chongming Sect except Xiaoqi, the "second son" of the leader Kang Da.

The head of Kangda hurried to the ladies' table to apologize, grabbed Xiaoqi and dragged him back to the main table.

Ever since this little thing was promoted to the lower grade of the first rank, the restriction that Kang Dabao had originally carved into his sleeves to restrain him was no longer able to contain it. I'm afraid Xiao Qi will have to live in the spirit beast bag in the coming days.

Xiaoqi was a little noisy when he returned to the main table. Jin Shilun and Mo'er had worked hard to cook the red-briered wild boar's elbow, which was bright red and rich, and very tempting.

Except for the female guests at the table who thought it was too greasy and few people dared to pick up their chopsticks, only the skeletons were left on the other tables. Xiao Qi "traveled a long way" to share the food, but he was pulled back by the head of Kangda before he had taken a few bites.

The little fellow looked at the skeleton with hardly any meat left on the main table, then turned back to look at the one on the female guest's table. He instantly became very dissatisfied, jumped up on all fours, and hopped around on the table for a while.

This cute look amused Fei Shuhe. After asking other female guests at the table, she hurriedly asked Yu'er, who was standing beside her, to bring the elbow to the main table, which calmed Xiaoqi's anger. The head of Kangda looked back at Fei Shuhe in surprise. When the latter saw the former's gaze, the innocent and pretty smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he put on his usual noble and dignified appearance.

Master Kang nodded in greeting and retracted his gaze, feeling extremely bored.

Fei Shuhe also smiled and nodded, and the couple treated each other with respect.

The meal lasted from dusk to sunset, and the drinking lasted from sunset to dawn. The monks usually practiced hard or worked hard to seek for food, so it was rare for them to drink to their heart's content. At the end of the drinking, some were reluctant to leave.

Fei Shuhe couldn't wait that long, so when the sun was about to set, she took Nanny Sun and a group of maids to bid farewell to the guests in a graceful manner.

Such graceful demeanor made the guests and friends very envious, and they wondered how lucky the great leader Chongming Zongkang was to be so blessed to marry a noble lady.

The head of the Kang family, who was envied by others, had to suppress his bitterness and pretend to be reluctant to say goodbye to his wife, so that outsiders and the Fei family could see the deep love between him and Fei Shuhe.

After the wedding banquet, Pei Yi went back to see the bride, while Master Kang returned to his own courtyard.

The situation of Chongming Sect became more and more serious, but Kang Dabao's courtyard became more and more deserted.

Huo Ying was a mistress who didn't even have the status of a proper concubine. Until now, Sect Leader Kang still didn't know whether Fei Shuhe knew about the former's existence but had no intention of caring about it, or he simply didn't know about it.

But no matter what, Huo Ying should not be brought back to Chongming Sect. Qinghan Courtyard where Fei Shuhe lives is just opposite.

Therefore, except for a few junior fellow disciples who were occasionally caught by Master Kang to play chess, he was basically alone most of the time.

This is also the norm for practitioners. The path to immortality is supposed to be lonely. It was abnormal that Kang Dabao spent the past years huddling together with his two junior brothers for warmth.

This situation is actually a good thing now, and it is also something that the head of Kangda should get used to.

After the excitement, Kang Dabao did not choose to rest, but went straight back to the cloud room to start practicing immediately.

Although he is not rich now, he has a lot of things to do. For example, the construction of the blue silver mine and Chongming Market both involve foundation building and cultivation. He is still the key person in charge and cannot relax.

Therefore, in the past six months, he has fallen behind in his practice. Seeing that even the head of the Lu family, Lu Xun, has advanced to the seventh level of Qi training, the head of the Kang family was stimulated and began to work hard every minute.

He wanted to work hard, but the little one in his sleeve was restless. Having just come back from the wedding banquet and having eaten and drunk a lot, it did not choose to sleep soundly to digest its food, but was very noisy.

Kang Dabao's attempts to enter into meditation were disrupted several times, so he had no choice but to take out a coral-shaped magical herb that was half a foot long and as thick as his little finger.

When Xiaoqi saw this thing, he immediately calmed down and rubbed his round little head against the back of Master Kang's hand. He looked so well-behaved.

"You idiot, you only care about food and not about beatings!" Master Kang smiled and threw a coral to Xiaoqi, who squinted his eyes and started to eat with relish.

This spiritual herb looks tender, but it is very durable. After Xiaoqi was promoted to a first-rank low-grade spiritual beast, his teeth have become much sharper, and they are like the "magic weapons" used by ordinary martial arts masters, which can make a hole in one bite. When biting on this sheep-horn coral, it takes a lot of effort to pull out a strand as thin as a hair, but he enjoys doing it.

Kang Dabao was also happy watching from the side, feeling that the sheep-horn coral was well worth the price of three plants for one hundred spirit stones. Not only was it of great help to the growth of low-level spirit beasts like "Zang Liu", but it could also help the owner get rid of the little guy's entanglement. It was really good.

It's just that the price is a bit high. If you keep raising Xiaoqi like this, the cost in a year will be quite high, which should be equivalent to the annual salary of four or five disciples.

But if raised properly, Xiao Qi can grow into a top-grade first-class beast within thirty years. If he can successfully build a foundation, it will be a huge profit.

After taking care of Xiaoqi, Master Kang waved his fingers and a piece of Yingyue rock half a person's height appeared beside him. Twenty or thirty top-heavy spirit insects, the length of a baby's finger, buzzed out from the insect room at the head of the bed, attached themselves to the stone slab and began to suck the food.

These spirit insects have lion heads and green bodies, with silver scales scattered on each segment of their bodies. Their mouthparts are sharp and densely packed like saw teeth, and they look like they are not easy to mess with.

The lionworm eggs that Kang Dabao found from the tomb of the barbarian Zhenxiu finally hatched.

After these little guys were born, they reproduced another generation in less than half a year. The lionworms in front of them that regularly eat Yingyue Rock are much more powerful than their parents.

Don't underestimate the fact that there are only twenty or thirty spirit insects. Master Kang takes great care of them. There are unused dormitories in the courtyard, but Kang Dabao did not convert a special insect room for them. Instead, he placed the lion insect room at the head of the bed for them to live and eat together.

Because of this effort, the power of the lion insect group cannot be underestimated. Now, even if an ordinary cultivator at the third or fourth level of Qi training encounters them, it is hard to say whether he can defeat them.

The last time, it was not easy for Master Kang to defeat Qu He, the son-in-law of the Huo family, in the Kuai family arena. After returning, although Taoist Hei Lu did not scold him, he also blamed him.

The original words of the Black Shoe Taoist were: "If you can't even defeat a straw bag and a good-for-nothing, then you are really a straw bag and a good-for-nothing."

After hearing this reprimand, Kang Dabao realized that it was not a good thing for him to rely too much on the high-level pupil technique of the Golden Eyes. Although the Golden Eyes were of high quality, the head of the Kang Sect had not yet mastered them. If someone with ulterior motives deliberately targeted him, it would still be dangerous.

So far, Master Kang’s fighting skills are still unremarkable. Apart from the golden eyes that can see through illusions, he only has a short blade at his disposal.

The refined corpse injured by the gold-eating rat was buried under the big locust tree. Kang Dabao set up a Yin-type formation and asked Zhou Yixiu to check it out more often when he had free time, but he thought it would be of little use in just four to five years.

Even if it is recovered, by then, Master Kang's cultivation skills should have improved significantly, but it is hard to say whether this corpse refining will still be useful.

Fortunately, this time Kang Dabao found a book called "Miaocaotang Treatise on Insects" in the Sutra Library of the Grass Witch Sect. It was like a blessing in disguise. After studying it for several months as if it were a treasure, Master Kang Da had mastered the techniques of controlling and raising the group of lion insects.

As long as these spiritual insects are raised properly, their growth cycle will be much shorter than that of the alligator turtle. According to the calculations of Master Kang, within three to five years, as the lion insect group advances and grows stronger, they will become a sharp weapon in his hands.

In subsequent fights, there is no need to use the trump card of the Golden Eyes to Break Delusion to fight the enemy.

If the lion insect swarm is properly tamed, then when the overwhelming second-level insect swarm covers the sky, even the foundation-building true cultivators will have to avoid its sharp edge. By that time.
It was unknown when the sky had brightened up. The sunlight shone on the face of Master Kang, interrupting his fantasies and forcing him to concentrate on practicing Qigong again.

These things are still too far away, so he should focus on his practice now.

He doesn't have many free days left. In another ten days, he will have to return to Chongming Market to live permanently. His practice will inevitably be delayed for a while. Now he has to race against time.
