Chapter 132 [Ghost Marriage] (6500)

Chapter 6500 [Ghost Marriage] ()

Ancient immortals, immortal characters?
Chen Yan grinned when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

Gu Qingyi frowned: "Just like your world, the characters in your pre-Qin era, the seal characters and the simplified characters of today are also very different.

Now if you suddenly show someone a line of seal characters, they won’t understand it.”

Chen Yan frowned and said, "So, the ancient immortals in the domain use different characters from the people in the domain today?"

Gu Qingyi smiled.

"You probably think of the domain as a fixed and unchanging world.

But the domain is conceptually the same as your world; it is an independent world and a complete world.

We have our own civilization, but the way and type of civilization are different from yours.

Our civilization is not fixed, nor is it unchanging; it has been constantly changing from ancient times to the present day.”

Chen Yan nodded. He had indeed overlooked this point.

Gu Qingyi was right. The development of a civilization is always in a state of change and will never remain unchanged.

Even the Dragon Kingdom in this world has seen changes in civilization from the pre-Qin period to the Han and Tang dynasties.

The writing has changed, the customs have changed, and every aspect is actually changing all the time.

In terms of writing, the writing of the pre-Qin period was different from that of the Han and Tang dynasties. In the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the writing was different again.

Not to mention the distant past, even decades ago, people were still using traditional Chinese characters!

Gu Qingyi's expression was very serious: "Where did you read this text?"

Chen Yan thought about it and told the story of his trip to Japan and the strange secret trial he encountered - the mirror world of Hong Kong City and the little girl. He still abided by the agreement with the little girl and did not tell her.

"By the way, I also met a guy named Ouyang..."

As he spoke, Chen Yan looked at Gu Qingyi's expression.

Gu Qingyi nodded. "That was the disciple that Third Uncle brought back. He had great talent, so Third Uncle wanted to take him under his wing. But that guy wasn't interested in Third Uncle's study of things, so Third Uncle gave up after two years of hard work.

Later, even though he became a disciple of the Gu family, he was eventually introduced to a great immortal who was on good terms with the Gu family. That guy... huh, what a coward.

cowardice?

Chen Yan was a little confused. In the secret trial, Ouyang was quite brave when fighting. How could he become cowardly?
"Originally, he is a member of the Gu family and should be practicing the Gu family's fighting methods, but he can't bear the hardship.

And after he had achieved success in his training with the great man on the immortal platform, as a disciple of the Gu family, if he wanted to make a breakthrough in the future, the best choice should be to go to the Three Platforms, Eight Passes and Sixteen Towns!
Going to guard the town pass is like being sent to the prison tower to fight for five years. Only through such tempering can one become a useful person.

But he refused and finally chose to go to the Inspection Department, wasting his status as a member of the Gu family. "To be so afraid of fighting, what else could it be but cowardice?"

Chen Yan disagreed.

People just want to live a comfortable life, why is that not possible?

When looking for a job, of course you should look for one that is easy, less dangerous and pays well!

Does it have to be rolled?
However, after Gu Qingyi complained about Ouyang for a few words, he changed the subject: "Show me the last stone you got in the secret realm of Japan."

Chen Yan took out the black stone and placed it in front of Gu Qingyi.

Gu Qingyi took it in his hand and examined it carefully. He also tried to input some vitality into it. Finally, he shook his head and said, "It should be a fragment of a magic weapon."

"Yeah, that's what Ouyang guessed. I think so too."

"But it's not an ordinary magic weapon. It should be a magic weapon left by an ancient immortal. In the domain, this kind of magic weapon left by ancient immortals is called an ancient treasure."

"Is it more powerful than the current magic weapon?" Chen Yan's eyes lit up.

Gu Qingyi glanced at Chen Yan and said, "A bronze sword from over two thousand years ago would have rusted to pieces if it had survived until now! Even if it was well preserved and hadn't rusted, do you think a bronze sword is sharper and harder, or a steel knife made with modern metallurgy technology is sharper and harder?"

Uh... that seems to make sense.

After all, technology is constantly improving.

"Ancient treasures are extremely rare in the domain, but most of the ones that have survived are damaged and incomplete. The occasional intact ones are collected by powerful individuals for collection or research. My third uncle has collected several.

In terms of power, it's not much different from the magic weapons of today. It's just that the functions of some ancient treasures are slightly different from those of today's magic weapons.

Most ancient treasures are considered to be relatively backward now.

The methods of making tools and the techniques of transporting vital energy have been updated countless times in today's world compared to the ancient times!
However, there are also powerful ones. For example, the ancient treasures created by ancient masters, if passed down, can also be devastating weapons that can destroy the world. "

As he spoke, Gu Qingyi gently placed the black stone back on the table and shook his head, saying, "I can't quite tell what this thing is. It should be a fragment of some ancient treasure, but it should be a core component, so there is a spirit hidden in it."

Gu Qingyi pushed the black stone to Chen Yan: "Keep this thing, it's best not to show it to others."

"it is good."

Chen Yan put away the black stone.

"I'll be leaving after the ghost marriage ends tomorrow. You..." Gu Qingyi looked at Chen Yan with a complicated expression: "Take good care of yourself in the future. You are the only descendant of the Chen family. I hope you can flourish in this world and continue the Chen family bloodline."

After a pause, Gu Qingyi hesitated to speak: "Lu Sisi is very caring towards you, you should treat her well."

This time, Chen Yan didn't say anything strange. He looked at his 21-year-old stepmother and nodded seriously.

·
The next day.

After Chen Yan got up in the morning and washed up, he went downstairs and saw Gu Qingyi moving a chair and sitting in the yard to bask in the sun.

The temperature has risen in the past few days and is no longer as cold as it was just after the Spring Festival. The highest temperature every day is around 10 degrees Celsius.

Basking in the sun in this kind of weather is not as absurd as sitting in the yard on a chair in the cold winter and being exposed to the northwest wind.

Seeing Chen Yan coming down the stairs, Gu Qingyi, who was sitting in the yard, opened his eyes and looked over.

"What do you want to eat in the morning?" Chen Yan asked, standing by the window on the first floor.

Gu Qingyi thought for a moment and said, "Cook some noodles and add two eggs."

As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to remember something, smiled slightly, and looked at Chen Yan: "Give me another cup of your special milk green drink."

“…Okay.” Chen Yan nodded.

Although both of them were smiling and their tone was calm, they both felt a hint of the farewell atmosphere.

After finishing their dinner quietly, the two of them cleared the table silently.

Chen Yan turned around and went down to the basement, carrying out a large box. He glanced at Gu Qingyi and said, "Let's go?"

"go!"

·
The two of them walked out of the villa gate, out of the side door of the community, and headed into the forest behind the villa.

There is a road leading into the mountains here, which is well built. Although it is only a single lane, it is also a high-quality cement road.

Walking along the road towards the back mountain, when they reached halfway up the mountain, they left the main road and went into the forest.

Walking in the forest, both of them let go of their hands and feet, increased their speed, and shuttled through the forest like flying.

After a while, we arrived at a wild lake in the mountains.

"This is it."

"Okay." Chen Yan nodded and looked at the illusion around him: "This place is not bad."

Then the two of them sat down facing each other on the ground by the lake, and began to meditate and transfer their vital energy without talking to each other.

Just like that, a whole day passed.

It was not until the sun was setting that Chen Yan opened his eyes.

After meditating for a whole day to transfer vital energy, Chen Yan is now full of energy and vitality, and is in the best and most peak condition.

Gu Qingyi sat on the ground, glanced at Chen Yan, and nodded slowly. Chen Yan took a deep breath and walked away step by step.

·
Chen Yan walked along the lakeside with his feet on the Seven Stars, calculated his position silently using the Qiyun Zhoushu number, and found his position in the southwest corner of the lakeside.

"Here it is." Chen Yan walked over, put the box in his hand on the ground, and took out a small black flag from it.

The flag was made of black satin, cut into a triangle, and the bamboo flagpole was only 30 centimeters long and stuck into the ground.

Then Chen Yan walked around the woods around the lake and planted thirty-six small black flags in different directions.

Under each flagpole, there is a rough white jade stone inlaid - these jade stones are infused with vital energy.

The location of the first small flag planted in the southwest corner of the lake is the center of the magic circle.

Chen Yan stood at the center of the formation, sat down cross-legged, chanted a spell, and pointed his right hand at the small black flag in a sword-like gesture: "Go!"

After a stream of vital energy was released, a faint green light flashed across the white jade under the black flag.

In an instant, the white jade under the thirty-six small flags in the forest flashed at the same time, and a cold wind blew faintly in the forest.

The cold wind was weak, but it seemed to be endless. Gradually, the temperature in the forest seemed to drop a little, and a gloomy air came from all directions.

After a while, the Yin Qi began to gather, and wisps of white mist gradually drifted in the forest...

·
This formation is called the [Xuanshui Formation]. It is the only formation in the formation chapter of the secret book that Chen Yan can currently master to gather Yin energy.

Water is yin, and when the magic circle is put together, yin energy gathers.

The fog in the forest has the effect of confusing people's senses. It is roughly like an illusion array, which can prevent ordinary people who are unaware of the situation from entering by mistake.

In the mountains, countless creatures have buried their remains over the years, including small animals, snakes, rats, insects, and ants...

I saw wisps of white mist rising in the forest, and then slowly gathering towards the lake.

The negative energy here is increasing bit by bit!

·
Chen Yan slowly stood up and looked at the concentration of white gas around him, then nodded with satisfaction.

Although this was the first time he had set up this [Xuanshui Formation], he had already made many preparations and simulated it many times in his mind. Although this was his first time setting it up, the effect was quite good.

Considering that he is a novice and the materials he uses are all mundane things, he is satisfied with the current level.

"Among the magic arrays I know, only this Mysterious Water Array has the effect of gathering Yin energy." Chen Yan looked at Gu Qingyi, who was standing silently by the side, and whispered, "From now on, until midnight, the Yin energy will slowly gather. At midnight, the concentration of Yin energy here should be enough for us to begin the ghost marriage ceremony."

Gu Qingyi nodded and said nothing.

Chen Yan felt the temperature dropping further, so he quickly took out a down jacket he had prepared and put it on.

Gu Qingyi also walked over and took out the small jade gourd hanging on her chest. She flicked her finger lightly, and a golden light shot out, and several objects fell to the ground.

The utensils were neatly arranged on the red ironwood plates.

A three-foot-tall paper sword, a seven-colored paper robe, and various auspicious objects were all made of paper.

After taking a look, Chen Yan sighed and took out a bunch of things from the box.

There were three pieces of black satin ruler stacked in the shape of a Chinese character "品".

A plate of gold ingots and gold and silver utensils made of gold foil.

A wedding invitation with a dragon and phoenix pattern on a black background sprinkled with silver powder.

There are also neatly arranged ingot candles.

First, place the prepared tablet with the words "Jue, the seventeenth legitimate son of the Chen family" neatly.

Then Chen Yan placed the Yuanbao candle in front, facing the southwest center of the formation, holding the candle and lighting it. A flame flew over and a little fire was ignited on the candle.

After the tablet was completed, Chen Yan knelt down and kowtowed in front of the tablet seriously.

"Chen Yan, a descendant of the Chen family, pays tribute to his father!"

After three kowtows, Chen Yan stood up and took out a stack of papers from the box. Upon closer inspection, he saw that they were all double happiness cut out of black paper!

He walked south along the memorial tablet, waving his sleeves gently. Driven by his vital energy, the fallen leaves and branches on the ground automatically parted, dropping pieces of black double happiness paper-cuts onto the ground.

One step, one meter; one meter, one picture.

He walked a total of thirty-three steps and placed thirty-three black double happiness cards on the ground.

The road almost went into the mountains and forests.

Chen Yan turned around and looked at Gu Qingyi again.

Gu Qingyi took a deep breath, took out a piece of paper with his birth date and time written on it from his arms, and handed it to Chen Yan with both hands.

Chen Yan took it, walked to the memorial tablet, and took a deep breath.

"Caiji!"

"There is a girl from the Gu family and a boy from the Chen family, so we agreed not to surrender and should be a pair!"

After saying that, Chen Yan held Gu Qingyi's birth date between his right index and middle fingers and thrust it towards the candle flame.

After a flash of fire, it turned into ashes.

"Ritual decision!"

Chen Yan growled.

Gu Qingyi took a deep breath, suddenly turned around and walked into the woods.

The silent forest was filled with white mist. The sun had set and the sky had darkened.

Chen Yan stood solemnly in front of the memorial tablet, then took out a wine bottle and poured it into the prepared porcelain bowl.

He dipped his fingers in the drink.

First point to the sky, then the earth, and finally to man. We should respect the three parties of heaven, earth, and man.

After placing the wine bowl in front of the spirit tablet again, Chen Yan took out the last thing from the box!

This is a long roll of black silk.

He tied one end of the silk to the tablet, held it down with his hand, and held the other end in his hand, then lifted it up with force!
Wow!

The vital energy rolled up, and the silk flew straight into the forest, just in the direction where thirty-three black double happiness patterns were posted along the way!
After doing all this, Chen Yan let out a breath, slowly sat down, sat on the ground, and waited quietly.

·
The night was already quiet, and in the mist, the air in the forest seemed so gloomy that water could drip from it. A layer of fine water droplets floated on Chen Yan's down jacket, and even his hair was a little wet.

As the saying goes, the gates of hell open at midnight.

Although this sentence is an unfounded feudal superstition, halfway through the night is exactly midnight.

It is also the time of the day when Yang energy is weakest and Yin energy is strongest.

Midnight, converted to current time, is from 11 pm to 1 am.

Chen Yan calculated the time and stood up from the ground just after twelve o'clock.

As soon as it was past twelve o'clock, the date was March 4th.

The fifth day of the second lunar month.

The day when the moon breaks!

Great loss, five separations!

Avoid marriage and burial.

The main culprit!

·
With a rustling sound, the long black silk that had fallen on the ground gently floated up.

One end was tied with a memorial tablet, and along the way were the thirty-three black double happiness cards.

I saw the other end going deep into the forest, and the black silk floating in the air swayed gently.

Then, a figure slowly walked out of the forest.

She walked gracefully in a bright red wedding gown and a phoenix crown.

Gu Qingyi, dressed in a red wedding gown, now looks like a stunning red wedding ghost from a movie!

·
Gu Qingyi was wearing a wedding dress, gently stroking the black silk with one hand, and slowly walked out of the woods and walked towards the tablet.

With every step she took, the black double happiness on the ground would move without wind, then quietly burn and dissipate into ashes...

When the thirty-three black double happiness cards were burned out, Gu Qingyi was already standing in front of the spirit tablet.

Chen Yan took a deep breath, slowly unfolded the dragon and phoenix wedding invitation in front of the tablet, and handed the foxtail pen to Gu Qingyi.

Gu Qingyi took it and quickly wrote a line of words on it.

[Gu, the seventeenth legitimate daughter of the Gu family...]

But before Chen Yan could see Gu Qingyi's name clearly, she had already closed the wedding invitation.
Chen Yan had no choice but to take the foxtail pen from Gu Qingyi's hand again, and then picked up the other half of the wedding invitation.

"Chen Yan, a descendant of the Chen family, as a witness of the order!"

After saying that, he gently bit his index finger and the tip of the pen was lightly stained with blood!

Gu Qingyi stretched out her hand and a translucent golden marriage contract flew out, hovering quietly above the tablet.

Chen Yan took the foxtail pen, lowered his wrist, and wrote on the Dragon and Phoenix Wedding Invitation:
[Chen, the seventeenth-generation legitimate son of the Chen family...]

But at the end, after Chen Yan wrote the word "Chen"...

Suddenly, the translucent golden marriage contract, which was said to be written by a great celestial being himself, suddenly emitted a strong vitality.

This vital energy weighed down Chen Yan's wrist!
The foxtail pen in his hand seemed to instantly turn into a thousand-pound weight, causing his hand to stagnate!
In an instant, Chen Yan's vitality was rapidly consumed! It was drained away like a tide!

Chen Yan's face was pale. He took a deep breath, then lowered his wrist with force, but he felt his vitality rapidly draining away from him, and the pen in his hand became heavier and heavier. After writing only two strokes of the last word "jue", he could not write any more!

Chen Yan was shocked!
·
Inside the villa, Lin Qingquan sat in front of the windowsill, with eight magical instruments placed around him according to the directions of the Eight Diagrams!
Jade bottle, Ruyi, jade town, jade float, jade pendant, jade pendant, jade sword, jade hook!
The old man's body and the eight jade pieces in the eight trigrams directions emitted light at the same time.

His fingers trembled, and after he lifted them up with difficulty, he pointed with all his might in the direction of the mountains and forests outside the window!
"go!!"

A golden light shot out!
·
Chen Yan suddenly felt his body relax, and the force that was pressing down on his foxtail pen, preventing him from writing, instantly disappeared!

He let out a breath, and the pen finally landed on the dragon and phoenix wedding invitation, writing the word "jue" stroke by stroke.

On the dragon and phoenix wedding invitation, it was clearly written: Chen Jue, the seventeenth generation legitimate son of the Chen family.

This name was written in blood by Chen Yan. As soon as it was written on the wedding invitation, the candle flame on the memorial tablet suddenly jumped up!
Then...

The dragon and phoenix wedding invitation slowly floated up, burning up bit by bit in the flames, and disappeared...

And the translucent marriage contract, which was said to be written by the Great Heavenly Venerable himself, finally turned into specks of golden light and dissipated, disappearing completely!

Chen Yan's forehead was already covered with sweat. He looked at the tablet and then at Gu Qingyi.

"Is this considered... a ceremony?"

·
"Damn it! This spell shouldn't be usable at my current level!" Lin Qingquan cursed, turned around, and shouted at the basin in the room: "More money! More money! More money!!"

After taking a breath, Lin Qingquan stared at the direction of the forest and muttered to himself.

"I guess... I guess I managed to hide it."

·
Gu Qingyi saw the translucent golden marriage contract written by the Great Heavenly Venerable turn into golden light and dissipate. Suddenly, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and then the tremendous pressure in her brows seemed to finally dissipate!
In her heart, it seemed as if some shackles that had been weighing down her, making her feel heavy and unable to relax, disappeared at this moment!

"Is the ceremony complete?" Chen Yan looked at Gu Qingyi.

Gu Qingyi pursed her lips and suddenly smiled.

Gu Qingyi was already stunningly beautiful, and at this moment she was wearing a red wedding dress, a phoenix crown, and her face was exquisitely made up. When she suddenly smiled, it seemed as if even the moonlight in the sky had lost its color in an instant.

Even though Chen Yan was already familiar with Gu Qingyi, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this smile that seemed to carry some emotion.

"Chen Yan, thank you."

After saying this, Gu Qingyi laughed softly, and then the laughter gradually faded away.

Finally, she pointed to the sky and said slowly, "From today on, there will be no more obstacles on my path!"

·
morning.

Several hours had passed since the midnight ghost marriage.

Chen Yan and Gu Qingyi returned to the villa and made some food at home. Gu Qingyi then went back to her room. When she came out, she had changed out of her wedding dress and put on her usual clothes.

Chen Yan looked at Gu Qingyi standing in front of him. Although she didn't say anything, Chen Yan seemed to see the look in Gu Qingyi's eyes.

"Are you leaving now?"

Gu Qingyi pursed her lips and nodded, "I've been out for too long. I can still catch up with the red tide when I go back..."

"Red Tide is..."

"I won't tell you about the domain." Gu Qingyi shook his head: "Xiaoyan, I'm sorry to have bothered you for so long, and thank you for your help. Anyway, I owe you a huge favor!

After I return to the realm this time, and after I have cultivated successfully, I will come out of this world through the boundary wall, and I will definitely repay you!"

After a pause, Gu Qingyi said, "The combat methods I practiced won't be of much help to you in your cultivation, but my Third Uncle is well-informed and well-versed in various cultivation methods. I'll consult him when I return. I'll definitely come back in the future and find some suitable magical instruments and treasures for you!"

In fact, Chen Yan felt a little heavy in his heart at this moment.

Although this woman is a little crazy, but... after all, we have been together for a while and lived under the same roof, and I really have developed some feelings for her.

Although Chen Yan didn't take Gu Xiaoniang and his stepmother seriously, but... after living together for so long, he did feel a bit like "family".

"This time you're going back, are you going to the boundary wall and then back to the domain?"

"Ah."

"Where is the boundary wall?"

"Three Eastern States."

Chen Yan was stunned: "Three Eastern States...then how do you plan to get there?"

"Take the train."

Chen Yan frowned: "How can you take the high-speed rail if you don't even have an ID card?"

"It's not a high-speed rail, it's a train, the kind that goes 'what's more, what's more, what's more, what's more.'" Gu Qingyi answered in a clip-like voice.

Chen Yan is numb!
"Wait a minute!" Chen Yan looked at Gu Qingyi: "When you say 'take a train', you don't mean 'climb onto a fast train like riding a galloping horse', do you? '

"Yeah!" Gu Qingyi nodded and asked curiously, "What else?"

"have to!"

Chen Yan slapped his head and said, "Don't leave yet!"

As he spoke, the twenty-two-year-old son gave a helpless smile to his twenty-one-year-old stepmother.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? What's the point of asking you to hitchhike back on the train? Just wait, I'll get a car and drive you to the three eastern states!"

Well, the slight feeling of separation that had just been brewing suddenly disappeared.

I thought we would go our separate ways from then on.

I didn’t expect... that I would have to see you off for thousands of miles!
