A Niang said to be careful of those fairies!

The couple arrived at their yard and saw the two people waiting at the gate. Zhang's mother's eyes were focused on the girl. She was very happy and quickly took the girl's hand and said happily, "Tong'er, I haven't seen you for a year. I miss you so much."

"Mom, I miss you too." The girl's thoughts were surging, her eyes were filled with tears, she buried her head in her mother's soft arms, and whispered something to the side. Zhang's father stared at the tall fat man with hostility in his eyes, and secretly muttered, this man looks like a fool, why does his daughter like him, and he looks familiar for some reason, could he be a distant relative of the same clan?

The shade of the Zhang family's tree is so huge that the clan can accommodate many distant cousins.

At this time, Zhang Lai's lips were dry, his eyes were red, and tears were squeezed out. Seeing this, Zhang's father was surprised. This kid was scared to tears by himself? Sui Ranfu secretly despised him and decided that his daughter must not marry such a fool!

Zhang's father was in a very complicated mood. Who knew that when Zhang opened his mouth, he almost hurt his waist: "Dad, don't you recognize your son?"

Zhang's father's eyes widened, his thick lips trembling, he looked at the fat man in front of him again and again and said: "You, you, you are my son Zhang Lai?!"

"You, you rebellious son! Why don't you just die in the sect? Why do you come back?!" Zhang's father was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"Old man, you are talking nonsense again. Son, this son is really you. Don't scare people away when your son comes home!" Zhang's mother slapped Zhang's father on the back of the head. Today was a double happiness coming to her. As a loving mother, she was extremely happy.

"Come on, let's talk inside." Zhang's father invited everyone into the yard and glared at his unfilial son unhappily.

--------------

The Imperial City is a scene of prosperity and thriving trade, with bustling business and thriving business. The streets are paved with clean and smooth bluestone bricks, silently telling of the vitality of this big city. Today, the Imperial City welcomes guests.

Lin Xuan restrained his aura and five senses, making the image he showed to the outside world more low-key, disguising himself as a visitor from another capital city to visit the imperial city, making himself more approachable than his original self.

Entering the city from the south, the first thing you see is that the street vendors mainly sell food. Grain stores can be seen everywhere, displaying rice, oats and coarse grains. The sounds of hawkers selling vegetable leaves can be heard constantly in the market. There are also peddlers carrying loads on their shoulders, selling sugar-coated, nuts, jerky and other sweet snacks that are good for teething.

He bought a portion of herbal jelly, which was light black, transparent and elastic, shaped like a person without a spine, swaying slightly from side to side. The stall owner was a young lady with half her breasts exposed and seductive eyes. She scooped a large spoonful of the paste for Lin Xuan from the whole piece of paste and added a lot of candied fruit.

It tastes cool and smooth, slightly sweet and astringent, and is perfect for cooling off in the hot summer.

"Are you from another place, sir? I don't think you are a local." The young lady's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, like a crescent moon, very beautiful. Lin Xuan nodded, not wanting to say more.

After that, the young lady challenged him several times but he just evaded the question and left the stall after finishing his meal.

After seeing the man leave, the owner of the vendor selling sticky rice sand next door, a man with a few pockmarks on his face, laughed and said, "Young lady, you are so enthusiastic today. Do you like me? Do you want to have sex with me? I smelled the odor just now from a distance."

The young lady surnamed Li rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "How dare I, a frail young man, covet a handsome man like him? I just want to establish a good relationship with him so that I can think of him in the future. You, you bastard, are taking advantage of me and still acting cute. If you talk nonsense to me again, don't even think about associating with me anymore!"

"Oh! Come on, young lady, since your old ghost passed away, aren't you and I a match made in heaven? Don't be angry when I say a few words, at least think of the hard work I have put in tilling the fields day and night."

In the area south of the imperial city, the streets were bustling with traffic. Lin Xuan avoided the crowd and walked aimlessly, but he didn't know that something happened at the stall just after he left.

"Go, go, go, go to the Prince's Palace to grab a seat. If you go too late, there will be no seats left."

"Finally the time has come. You don't know that I tossed and turned all night last night."

"When I think of the princess, such a beautiful flower, being stopped from entering the boudoir by someone, I feel so distressed that I beat my chest and stamp my feet."

The crowd was lively and noisy. Lin Xuan vaguely heard that something big was happening, so he followed the crowd and was carried forward by the crowd. He crossed three streets and saw a mansion with carved railings and jade bricks. It was the Ning Wang Mansion! The royal family! Lin Xuan hid in the crowd and slowly recalled the details.

"A martial arts contest to win a bride? A marriage decided by the strength of force?" He showed a surprised look on his face. The main reason he walked out of the mountain gate was to experience for himself the marriage plot recorded in the sequel of "The Record of Fengqing Xianhua". It was like a fruit that was delivered to one's mouth when one was thirsty. He took advantage of the opportunity before him.

Several sisters hid certain truths from him, which made him scratch his head, so he had to see it with his own eyes.

"Well, literally, it's similar in nature to the outer sect competition, but I don't know the specific format or how the competition will be." Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and hid in the crowd for a while before the crowd moved away.

A shout came from near the main gate of Prince Ning's Mansion: "Let's go, everyone! Move to the suburbs! Prince Ning's Mansion has set up a martial arts arena and a shed in the suburbs. You can have some hot porridge during the martial arts competition!"

So the people surrounding Prince Ning's Mansion immediately moved their positions. The large area in the suburbs was good for the young man seeking marriage to show his skills. The greenhouse could provide shelter from wind and rain, and the porridge could also retain the people. Many eyes were watching to show fairness.

Lin Xuan savored the food carefully and thought to himself, "It seems that this princess has a great reputation? Moreover, in the martial arts competition to recruit a bride, the final winner should not be familiar with the princess. Is the princess willing to be the final winner?"

"What kind of image does getting married represent?" He pondered. Now that he knew that Sister Ling was his person, which implied the meaning of being a vassal, would he be willing to accept it if she were a stranger?

4.2 Leave

As the title says, the plot is a bit stuck, and some parts are hard to write and look ugly. I will practice more.

Chapter 95: Being Despised

The territory under the jurisdiction of Xuannv Palace covers an area of ​​more than 20,000 miles, which is subdivided into dynasties that continue to live on the territory, the emperor's relatives, and noble princes. If the prince's daughter becomes famous, all heroes in the world yearn for her.

There are many different opinions, and the appearance of the daughter of Prince Ning's Mansion has been pieced together. Princess Haoyu! Bright white teeth, white jade, the first-class beauty of the three kingdoms, the daughter of the prince, it is said that these titles are only secondary. What she is really famous for is her physique. It is said that she has some kind of first-class physique.

"It should be fake. Most of the holy places in the world are all-encompassing and their inheritance is inclusive. If a person with a first-class physique enters a holy place, the training he receives will always be better than that in the outside world. Or is there another hidden story?"

"If I can enjoy the princess's beautiful body and practice the secret method of dual cultivation, I will definitely break through the bottleneck that has existed for many years!"

"You? Are you worthy? It's a nice thought for a toad to eat swan flesh. How can a common man enjoy a beauty like the princess?"

"Dual cultivation?" Lin Xuan's mind moved as he heard this word again. A long time ago, Sister Ling said that Xiang Caiyun supported Wan Lin with the dual cultivation technique. What exactly is dual cultivation?

The audiences around them were noisy and noisy, and an answer was about to come out. Princess Haoyu's physique was a rare furnace physique. Was this the real reason? The reason why Prince Ning's Mansion held a martial arts competition to recruit a bride, and what was the core attraction of Qingjie Tianjiao signing up to participate?

In half an incense stick of time, the people in Prince Ning's Mansion arranged the competition venue. The huge martial arts stage could accommodate two pairs of bride-seeking candidates to compete at the same time. There were five such martial arts stages.

"First group, begin!" The guard of Prince Ning's mansion gave orders to the twenty people who were ready to fight. Among these twenty people, there was a mixture of both evenly matched and huge disparities in strength. The winners and losers were decided right at the beginning of several pairs of bride-seeking applicants, causing the audience to sigh.

They are all young cultivators at the second, third, and fourth levels of Qi Refining. They mostly use fists and feet. Fist and foot combination is the most direct and violent, or the extension of the way of weapons. Chancing and casting spells are easy to fall into the inferior level. This thing takes time.

Unless one has mastered spells of great success or even supernatural powers and can cast spells at will, the battles between high-level monks are similar: whoever seizes the initiative has a greater chance of winning.

My thoughts were drifting. After the novelty of seeing the monks from the outside world fighting each other, things took a sudden turn for the worse and I became bored.

The term "heroes and geniuses" is only used relative to a small mortal country like Tang Kingdom. In Lin Xuan's opinion, these men have a barely strong appearance but are too weak in strength. They are just noobs fighting each other.

"His body moved as slowly as a turtle, and his fists were limp and powerless."

“你干什么呢，一副这瞧不起那瞧不起的样子，有本事你上去和他们打啊！”市井小民嗤笑道，这少年摇头点评的模样真欠揍，我若有强大的实力我也上去争雄了，郡主那样的美人能娶回家，死也无憾了。

I want to go up and fight, but you are just commenting and denying. Who do you think we are?

"Hehe, does my existence have anything to do with me going up to fight with them? You set the rules?" Lin Xuan stared at the commoner with an expressionless and cold face. He had only cultivated a superficial foundation of flesh and blood.

He had also gone through a similar stage, but now he has already left it far behind.

The common people were frightened by his eyes and immediately fell silent, looking away guiltily.

"Hmph." Lin Xuan restrained his aura and only stared at the martial arts stage with a slight glance. His main focus was on another thing, which was the future direction of Frost Rain Technique. This spell was only Grade B Yellow, with relatively small power and, more importantly, great limitations. Logically speaking, it would basically be eliminated.

But after all, this was the first spell he had learned since he started cultivating immortals, and he had devoted two years to it, so Lin Xuan was reluctant to give it up. Coincidentally, he had been inspired by the big fight a few days ago, and he had sorted out his thoughts for a few days.

"In order to make up for the lack of flexibility, perhaps I should start with the magic runes. All kinds of Taoism are contained in one rune, which is definitely worth my further exploration!"

"Runes can activate the power of the Dao, and activate many mysterious and powerful forces, such as lightning, fire, floods, earth, strong winds... Why can runes attract the power of the Dao? Little cultivators are not qualified at all. Let alone attracting the power of the Dao, they can't even sense the Dao!"

He thought of a saying that spell runes are actually a summary and simplification of the corresponding laws of the Tao! The laws of the Tao that constitute the universe are invisible and intangible. Can you see the complex and magnificent runes in a more subtle sight?

"Good! Good! Good!" While he was traveling in the ocean of Taoism, the people around the martial arts stage were in an uproar. It turned out that it was time for the marriage seekers to reveal their trump cards and throw in their trump cards.

The most outstanding one was a man wielding two axes, who briefly accumulated strength before delivering a beautiful blow.

"Finally, I'm not bored to death." Lin Xuan murmured to himself. It has nothing to do with cultivation level or the grade of skills. Ordinary cultivators don't have any good stuff. Tracing back to the source and seeing through the surface, what you see is the talent and unique skills of these geniuses. This is something they all have in common.

On the left, the common people who had regained their courage looked at Lin Xuan and wondered who this young man was. How could he say that such an exciting fight was boring? Aren't the people fighting on the martial arts stage geniuses?

"Hiss! His intestines are about to burst out. Is it really necessary to fight so hard just to marry the princess?" Lin Xuan frowned and glanced sideways with a weird expression.

"Of course it's worth it!" The common people were brave enough to refute: "The princess is the prince's daughter! She is a stunning beauty, who doesn't like a beauty? Not to mention that if you marry her, you can get on the prince's ship."

"It is said that the princess has an exquisite body. Having sex with her is not only pleasurable, but can also greatly improve your cultivation! In short, whoever marries the princess is equivalent to having everything. It is no exaggeration."

"So, dual cultivation, sex, what are they talking about? Are they necessary steps for getting married?" Lin Xuan blinked.

"Ugh!" The commoner choked, looking at him again and again, confirming that he was extremely young, he was a virgin? ! After all this talk, it turned out that this kid had no idea about the relationship between men and women? !

"Boy, I thought you were so awesome, but it turns out you're just a rookie." The rough man suddenly became very proud, looking down on the blank young boy as a senior.

Lin Xuan instinctively realized that he was being despised, and he hesitated to speak. Why was this person playing dumb?

"Little kid, I'm an experienced person, and I'm going to tell you something good. Pay more attention to the entertainment places in the city, as long as you have money."

"A place of entertainment? It's a new word. I've paid attention to it. Thank you for your guidance, uncle." Lin Xuan squinted at the rough man in a pretentious manner. Seeing this, the man also smiled mysteriously.

Lin Xuan continued to study magic, hoping to break through the realm of magical powers and see a new world, which was not something that could be achieved overnight. Until the end of the martial arts competition, he had only managed to clear away a tiny bit of the fog, like duckweed on the water surface blocking his view, and he had to work hard to clear away a small part of it.

The person in charge of Prince Ning's Mansion announced the final winner, a tall young man with a small tuft of beard on his chin. Then the person in charge announced that Prince Ning's Mansion would hold an engagement banquet in three days and would never go back on his word.

"Let's go, little boy, there's nothing to see. Let's go to the engagement banquet at Prince Ning's mansion in three days. Maybe you can catch a glimpse of the princess. Even just a glimpse will be worth it." The rough man was secretly pleased to see the young man in a daze, thinking that the boy had begun to fall in love with the princess after being flattered by him.

My vision is absolutely correct, and you should also admire the princess's elegance!

Chapter 96: Xingchunlou

"Mom, let me tell you, I found a brother outside the Xuannv Palace, and he takes good care of me." Zhang Miaotong said while comparing her slender jade fingers. The first one to react was her father.

"You recognized a brother? Doesn't your biological brother take care of you?" The veins on Zhang's father's forehead were faintly visible, his eyes were fierce and he looked furious, which scared Zhang Lai so much that sweat broke out on his forehead.

He had suffered enough beatings from his father when he was a child, so even after decades, he was still afraid of his father even though he had grown stronger.

"My biological brother appointed him as my brother, and he's so good to me." Zhang Miaotong's expression was pure and innocent, and her words almost made Zhang's father faint.

"You! You, rebellious son! How could you push your own sister to be taken care of by outsiders!" Zhang's father's face turned red, and he coughed continuously because he was too excited, and even coughed out tears.

"I, I don't know how to take care of people." Zhang Lai lowered his head in shame and explained weakly.

"If you don't know how to take care of the child, why can't you ask your senior sisters or junior sisters to help you take care of the child? Do you have the heart to push the matter to outsiders?" Zhang's father stared at his son with his eyes like bells and laughed angrily. He was so amused by his unfilial son's negative attitude and stupid behavior. He was an old man in his eighties and he was not confused at all!

"I have a good eye. I think they should do their duty and take care of my sister, right?" Zhang Lai said hesitantly, thinking to himself that they had signed a contract.

Although it's several levels lower than the oath to heaven, but can the disciples of Xuannv Palace at least keep their promise, right?

"No matter how good his vision is, he is still a man! You idiot, do you understand the trick? You have no brains at all."

"Dad, don't blame my brother yet. I've observed him for a year, and the brother I recognized from the outer sect is very much to my liking." When these words came out, the three of them were surprised, and Zhang's mother's eyes lit up.

"Tong'er, when you say it suits your taste, do you mean that you like her? And you want to marry her?" Zhang's mother's words were a bit straightforward, but they hit the point. Zhang Miaotong's pretty face flushed.

"I do like her, but it's too early for you to suggest this, mom." She said happily, holding her face. The three smart guys saw through their little daughter's thoughts at a glance, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Look what you have done!" Zhang's father was furious. He had been on high alert for his daughter, but he didn't expect that this rebellious son would give the cabbages he raised to others to eat, just like a pig!

Zhang Lai's eyes twitched as he explained, "That man is only a little older than my sister, he's a teenager. I've checked him once, at least he has outstanding talent, he's already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining."

"By the way, my brother has agreed to visit our house. You will be scared when the time comes!" Zhang Miaotong dropped another piece of important news, and at the same time, high-ranking parents should not use their seniority to put pressure on others.

"Tong'er, tell me what kind of person your brother is like." Zhang's mother took her daughter's hand and wanted to know the character of the person she liked first, even if it was a disguised image.

Her daughter would describe a general image, and she would personally judge the person. If the image was too different from what her daughter described, then one of them must have lied or was pretending, and the matter would be open to discussion. She was more open-minded than her own old man, and would not object to her daughter marrying someone else as long as the person was suitable.

"As for you, why haven't you brought us a grandson in decades? A granddaughter will be fine too. Zhang Lai, are you sick?" Zhang's mother looked at Zhang Lai with gloomy eyes. The sweat on Zhang Lai's forehead condensed into beads as big as beans.

"I, I haven't found the right one. Besides, the girl from Xuannv Palace is also a genius disciple. She also needs to practice."

"Well, in that case, we'll find you some good families. You can return to Xuannv Palace after you give birth to children!" Zhang's mother decided to arrange a marriage for Zhang Lai. It would be fine to find a few concubines to give birth to children. There was no need to find a wealthy family to act as a matchmaker. She and her old man were in their eighties, half of their bodies were buried in the ground, and they had to see their grandchildren as soon as possible.

Those ordinary warriors have been buried for decades, but still have four generations living together. The two monks must at least see their grandchildren.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Thinking of his parents' age, Zhang Lai agreed silently. It was nothing more than marrying a few mortal women and letting them and their children accompany them for the last thirty or forty years of their lives.

"Look, Xingchunlou! The most top-notch entertainment place in the imperial city. You've come to the right place by following your uncle. Come on, let's go in and talk." The burly man was very proud. He had already confirmed that the fair and tender boy was a novice, and he had to teach him as a senior!

After talking along the way, they have learned each other's names. The big man's name is Wu Jin, and he is an idle ranger. His cultivation is at the eighth level of Qi and Blood. He is in his prime and usually makes a living by doing things for others.

He thought that he had a good chance of breaking through the ninth level of Qi and blood and eventually becoming an innate master. By then, he would be able to live several more decades, enjoy decades of freedom, live to be a hundred years old, and the time of aging would be greatly delayed.

In the mortal martial arts world, warriors' strength is divided into nine grades. The difference in strength is relatively small within two or three grades of qi and blood. It is common to hear of new martial arts stars defeating the strong with the weak, and defeating old seniors by leaps over two or three small grades. Wu Jin himself has a similar record. As the old seniors get older, their strength will also decline greatly.

Martial artists who have reached the ninth level of Qi and Blood generally begin to experience a decline in Qi and Blood in their seventies, and lose all their martial powers in their eighties or nineties.

The Xiantian Grandmaster is actually the first level of Qi Refining. He can live for hundreds of years and his decline period is greatly delayed. There is still a realm above that, the second level of Qi Refining, a martial arts legend! The gap between the two is also small.

However, Wu Jin led Lin Xuan to the entrance of Xingchun Tower. Two delicate women in cool clothes stood on both sides of the entrance. After confirming their destination, their eyes lit up and they became obviously enthusiastic.

"Welcome, gentlemen, to Xingchun Tower." They waved their palm-leaf fans and said with a smile, performing a half-body salute. Their cool hollow skirts embroidered with gold and blue showed off their spring beauty, especially the young master among them.

Behind their bright and warm smiles at the moment was a lot of regret. Why was it their turn to guard the door and solicit customers today? They were originally happy to have a break, but now they were secretly annoyed that they missed out on such a handsome and lovely young man.

Wu Jin quietly observed Lin Xuan's expression, but he didn't react at all. He couldn't help wondering, he wasn't a virgin? Why didn't he look like a young man with vigor and vitality when he saw the gorgeous girl?

"Uncle, let's go in quickly. I'm exhausted from all the salutes." Lin Xuan pulled the dazed Wu Jin.

"Oh, oh! Let's go in and talk." Wu Jin came back to his senses and thought secretly, maybe this kid is really a virgin, and an extreme virgin whose concepts about matters between men and women are as blank as a sheet of paper!

"Hiss! He has suddenly become a tough nut to crack. If the girls use their ultimate moves and he remains indifferent, wouldn't it be like playing the lute to a cow?" Wu Jin grimaced with a headache.

After they entered the room, they randomly found a table and sat down. Servants immediately came to entertain them. Even the slave girl who entertained the guests was a beauty that was unimaginable to mortal men.

How can a farmer who digs for food in the soil in the mountains and countryside compare with a beautiful lady in the boudoir with a slender waist and a graceful figure?

"Is this a brothel?" Lin Xuan murmured to himself. There was a stage on the first floor. All the beauties on the stage were extremely beautiful. Moreover, they were dancing gracefully and wearing light gauze that was half-transparent, which seemed to be very different from their usual attire.
