Chapter 115: An Old Friend
The so-called "best man" is the man who accompanies the groom and the woman who accompanies the bride at the wedding. They are usually the same generation as the groom and the bride, and can be brothers, sisters, or friends. They need to be familiar with etiquette and be quick to react. When a bride first arrives at her husband's house, she often encounters many inconveniences, and she is often teased when making trouble in the bridal chamber, so she needs a bridesmaid to help maintain and entertain; when the groom marries the bride, he will encounter the same problem, so he needs the help of a best man to marry the bride smoothly.
Westerners also have similar customs, which are called best men and bridesmaids.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are certainly not afraid of making trouble in the bridal chamber, nor are they afraid of being embarrassed. The Zhang family has strict rules and does not do these things. Qi Xuansu has no one here, and Zhang Yuelu is more familiar with their new home than he is.
The role of the best man is mainly to help the two deal with some chores.
As Qi Xuansu said, the specific ceremony and betrothal gifts and dowry are actually details, and the key is the guests.
It can be imagined that on the day of the wedding, the number of guests will definitely exceed the last apprenticeship ceremony, and the guests are not ordinary people, so they cannot be neglected. Even if the elders above come out to entertain and receive, the two cannot be idle. At this time, someone must play a role similar to a secretary and follow them.
To put it bluntly, the Taoist sect broke the etiquette of the Confucian sect, and they have no new things to replace it. They can only piece together and change the skin of the Confucian sect's things, which is even more chaotic and worse than before.
Zhang Yuelu's side is easy to say. There are many sisters of the same generation in the Zhang family, and there are also many senior sisters and junior sisters. There are also secretaries, Zhang Yuyue, Xiao Yueru, Mu Jin, etc., all of which are OK. It is easy to gather them.
Qi Xuansu is a little worried. There are no brothers of the same generation, and there are no brothers of the same master. He can only look for them from his classmates. Is it Mo Qingdi? This is far from enough. Zhang Wuyue belongs to the Zhang family, so it is definitely not possible. Counting Chen Jiangou, and pulling Cheng Lixue over, it is also a little bit of meaning.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that there were not enough people in all aspects."
Zhang Yuelu suggested: "If it really doesn't work, Lao Lin and Xu Kou are a bit old, so just use them."
Qi Xuansu waved his hand quickly: "Forget Lao Lin, old senior, I can't afford it, let him look after the children."
There is no doubt that Xiao Yin will also participate, so someone needs to watch her, otherwise she might do something. Lin Yuanmiao is the most suitable person.
Qi Xuansu said helplessly: "Let me think about it again."
There are still many masters present, and Qi Xuansu can't do the incarnation of the soldiers, which doesn't look good.
At this time, Zhang Wuyue pushed the door open and looked inside.
Qi Xuansu said to Zhang Yuelu: "Tianzhong is here, let's stop here today."
Zhang Yuelu instructed: "Don't indulge him."
Qi Xuansu said: "Don't worry, Tianzhong has learned well now, and he is doing a legitimate business."
Zhang Yuelu ended the call.
Zhang Wuyue came to the other side of the table and smiled: "Was it my sister just now?"
Qi Xuansu said: "Your sister asked you to study hard."
"Of course." Zhang Wuyue cleared his throat, "I have reached a preliminary agreement with Qian Xisheng, a high-level mage under Huangfu Zhenren, and drafted a draft. Please take a look at it, brother-in-law.".
As he spoke, Zhang Wuyue took out a thick file, at least hundreds of pages, and handed it to Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu was a bit overwhelmed, but he took the file and said, "I'll give you an answer after I finish reading it."
Zhang Wuyue said, "Qian Xisheng shouldn't dare to do anything."
Qi Xuansu put the file aside for the time being: "Your sister and I are discussing the marriage."
Zhang Wuyue was relieved: "Finally, we're getting married. I thought it would take a few more years."
"You have to go back too." Qi Xuansu said, "Before you go back, arrange all the things on hand."
Zhang Wuyue said, "Of course I have to go, but I'm not in a hurry."
Qi Xuansu said, "It's different. You can come back, but I won't. If nothing unexpected happens, the one who will take over from me will be Li Changge, the chief deputy lord of the Imperial Capital."
Zhang Wuyue's expression
froze.
The Zhang family and the Li family have been enemies for many years. The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. How can this be good?
Qi Xuansu continued, "I will go to the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. Although I can still ask Master Huangfu to take care of you, you must also be prepared."
Zhang Wuyue tightened his face and said in a deep voice, "Yes."
Qi Xuansu said, "That's it. Is there anything else?"..
"By the way, there is one more thing." Zhang Wuyue hurriedly told him about Zhong Boyu.
"Bai Yutang's people?" Qi Xuansu was stunned.
Long-lost memories came to his mind.
Back then, he jumped into the Xingxu Sea, which was considered a fake death, and he temporarily left the Taoist sect. Then he went from Xingxu Sea to Cowinbu and encountered a series of things. There was an abandoned workshop on the bank of Cowinbu, where the people of Bai Yutang got a "Great Asura", but were ambushed by the Taoist sect.
Qi Xuansu took a blood pill in the chaos, and later got a piece of "Xuanyu" from Bai Yutang.
After that, there was not much intersection. Recently, I heard that Bai Yutang had been disbanded.
Qi Xuansu thought for a moment and said, "Bring him here. I want to see him."
Zhang Wuyue said, "I'll let him come right away."
Zhang Wuyue certainly couldn't let Qi Xuansu wait. He had already brought Zhong Boyu here and was waiting outside. He would go in first to test the waters. If Qi Xuansu was willing to see him, he would let Zhong Boyu in directly. If Qi Xuansu was not willing to see him, then forget it.
Soon, Zhong Boyu walked in and lowered his head: "I have met Master Qi."
"No need to be polite," Qi Xuansu said.
Zhong Boyu raised his head and looked at this famous Taoist rookie, and couldn't help but be startled.
Qi Xuansu was also looking at Zhong Boyu and suddenly remembered something.
When he came out after taking the blood pill, he saw a strange phenomenon in the world. A huge body appeared in the world, with a green face and fangs, a vicious and ferocious mouth, and it effortlessly swallowed all the people in the "inn" whole.
Qi Xuansu guessed at the time that it might be the "Great Asura", which was later confirmed.
Qi Xuansu still remembers a figure standing on the shoulders of "Great Asura" with a smile on his face and his hands behind his back.
This scene left a deep impression on him.
That person is from Bai Yutang.
Qi Xuansu didn't say anything, leaving Zhang Wuyue confused for a moment and not daring to ask rashly.
After a while, Zhong Boyu couldn't help but said: "Master, please forgive me for being rude, we...seem to have met somewhere."
Qi Xuansu said: "Of course I have seen it. I wonder if you still remember the abandoned workshop by Lake Tsowembu?"
Zhong Boyu's eyes suddenly widened.
He was the person from Bai Yutang who controlled the "Great Asura" that day, but was later destroyed by Shangguan Jing, the deputy leader of Tiangang Hall.
Zhong Boyu still knows Qi Xuansu's life. He first met Zhang Yuelu in Tiangang Hall. Later he went to Ziwei Hall and started to make a fortune. He also passed through Imperial Palace, Fenglinzhou and Borneo Palace, until today he became an official in Beichen Hall. The chief deputy palace master and the Taoist sect's plenipotentiary envoy controls the affairs of the Southern Continent.
Zhong Boyu subconsciously believed that Qi Xuansu participated in the operation to annihilate the "Great Asura": "Is it true that the real person was also on the flying boat? But I remember that not long after this happened, there was the fall of 'Yinglong', Tiangang Hall The deputy master of the Shangguan Hall also died as a result, and it is said that none of the other Taoist priests who accompanied him survived..."
Qi Xuansu said: "I did almost die at the hands of Wu Luo, but it was not at Cuo Wenbu, but at Kunlun Pass. After the incident at Kunlun Pass, I left Tiangang Hall and transferred to Ziwei Hall."
Only then did Zhong Boyu realize that he had misunderstood, but he just felt that Qi Xuansu was a little familiar. He should have met him before, but it was just a casual encounter, maybe just an accidental glance, so his memory was not deep, and he couldn't think of it at this time. Where have you seen it?
Zhong Boyu couldn't help but show an expression of hard thinking on his face.
Qi Xuansu said: "Okay, don't think about it. On the day of the incident, I was indeed at Tso Wenbu's house.
In the workshop, it was not in the sky, but on the ground. Watching from a distance, I saw with my own eyes the 'Great Asura' devouring the people in the 'Inn'. Later, the Taoist sect entered the scene, and I left. "
After Qi Xuansu's reminder, Zhong Boyu finally remembered it. He never thought that the two of them had such a fate.
Zhong Boyu hesitated for a moment and defended himself: "There is something hidden here. I want to explain it to Master Qi."
Qi Xuansu said: "Tell me."
Zhong Boyu said: "I was not doing it for the 'Great Asura', but on the order of my superior to retrieve something from there. "
Qi Xuansu asked: "What?"
Zhong Boyu answered truthfully: "The appearance is somewhat similar to the sword coins in ancient times. The whole body is green, and it is called 'Xuanyu'. It is said that people in Taiping Road are also looking for 'Xuanyu', and the 'Inn' works for Taiping Road." of. This "Xuan Jade" is located deep in the corpse raising ground, and there is an "Inn" on the side. In order to get the "Xuan Jade", I have to use the "Great Ashura" sealed here by Huashengtang. Although I have to deal with it, The man who killed the "Inn" was hit by the gun of Tiangang Hall, and the "Great Asura" was destroyed. I am not trying to take away the ‘Great Asura’, nor am I an enemy of the Taoist sect. Please be clear to Master Qi.”
This was a clever remark. On the one hand, it ruined the affairs of Taiping Dao, and on the other hand, it did not become an enemy of the Taoist sect. Just because everyone knows about Qi Xuansu's relationship with Taiping Dao, Qi Xuansu's damage to Taiping Dao is actually a plus point.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but glance at Zhong Boyu.
He never imagined that there was such a fate between the two.
If there were no accidents, the piece of "Xuan Jade" that Zhong Boyu took away was the "Xuan Jade" that he later obtained from Bai Yutang.
This piece of "Xuan Jade" is not ordinary. Although it did not improve Qi Xuansu's cultivation too much, it attracted the attention of the three major ghosts. When he passed through the "Ghost Pass", Mr. Yin personally introduced him to the Ghost Kingdom Cave Heaven.
Later, not only did the three great yin beings invest in him and give him a certain Pingtian crown, allowing him to open the portal to the cave of the ghost kingdom, summoning the three great yin beings many times to save the day, but they also allowed him to establish a relationship with Di Liu. A certain connection allows us to go back in time and shape the divine realm. More importantly, Qi Xuansu got to know Xiao Yin.
This piece of "Xuan Jade" brought so many things to Qi Xuansu, so after Qi Xuansu knew that it was Zhong Boyu who took back the piece of "Xuan Jade", Qi Xuansu couldn't help but feel a little fond of him.
Qi Xuansu nodded slightly: "Since we are old friends, you should stay with Tianzhong first. Regarding your cultivation, I will make arrangements after I return to the Central Plains."
Zhong Boyu didn't expect Qi Xuansu to be so easy to talk to, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Thank you, Master Qi."
Qi Xuansu signaled that the two of them could leave.
After the two left, Qi Xuansu contacted Qiniang again and said straight to the point: "Qiniang, two things. First, give me an answer on whether you will go to the ceremony or not. Second, help me check out Zhong Boyu. He was once a member of Bai Yutang and the Eight Tribes."
