Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 250 Another wedding; it's time to take action against the Khitans and Jurchens.
Meanwhile, Leng Feibai used talismans to quickly return to Xiaoyao Valley and informed Su Xinghe of his upcoming marriage.

Su Xinghe was quite happy about this, after all, Leng Feibai was getting on in years and it was time for him to start thinking about his marriage.

Therefore, Su Xinghe immediately sent someone to Luoyang to find the best tailors and embroiderers to sew a wedding robe for Leng Feibai.

Originally, Su Xinghe wanted to use some money from Xiaoyao Valley's finances to buy a new house for Leng Feibai, or to find a vacant lot in Wangyou Village to build a new house.

However, Leng Feibai firmly refused, since Xiaoyao Valley was not his private property, so he had to pay for the construction of the wedding house himself.

When the two were discussing it later, Feng Ziyi happened to come to visit. After hearing about Leng Feibai's upcoming marriage, he immediately introduced Leng Feibai to a mountain villa not far from Xiaoyao Valley, worth 20,000 taels of silver.

That mountain villa was originally built during the reign of Emperor Renzong by a military general who planned to retire there after he returned to his hometown.

However, the military officer was later implicated in a major case of embezzling military funds and weapons, and his family was exterminated and his estate was confiscated by the imperial court.

However, because the martial artist resisted arrest while armed, many people died in the manor, and it has been vacant for years. If Leng Feibai doesn't mind, he can sell it to him at half price.

Leng Feibai was overjoyed upon hearing this and went to the villa with Feng Ziyi.

The villa is beautiful, and many peach and apricot trees are planted around it.

Leng Feibai was very satisfied with this and directly took out 10,000 taels of silver to buy the estate.

After that, Leng Feibai spent a lot of money to buy a batch of suitable furniture.

Feng Ziyi helped Leng Feibai find craftsmen to renovate the manor and hired a group of trustworthy servants and maids for him to enter the manor.

In just ten days, the entire resort was completely transformed.

Looking at the completed manor, Leng Feibai took up his brush and wrote the words "Yunmeng Manor" in the Feibai style of the great Confucian scholar Cai Yong. He then had a plaque carved and hung it above the main gate.

After seeing Leng Feibai's handwriting, Feng Ziyi was also eager to try his hand at it and couldn't help but ask Leng Feibai for a piece of calligraphy.

Therefore, Leng Feibai specially painted a traditional Chinese ink painting of West Lake in Hangzhou, including Leifeng Pagoda, and presented it to Feng Ziyi.

Feng Ziyi was overjoyed to receive the painting and left.

Two months later, outside Xiaoyao Valley, gongs and drums resounded, firecrackers crackled, and the atmosphere was incredibly lively.

A magnificent wedding procession wound its way forward, attracting villagers in Wangyou Village outside the valley to stop and watch.

At the very front of the procession, atop a tall and handsome black horse, Leng Feibai sat awkwardly on its back.

At this moment, he was wearing a meticulously sewn wedding robe, with a dark black belt around his waist, and the robe was embroidered with auspicious clouds drawn with the finest gold thread.

At this moment, his face was beaming with a happy smile, and his eyes were full of anticipation for the upcoming wedding.

In the center of the procession, a magnificent bridal sedan chair moved slowly forward, surrounded by a group of maids and servants.

The bridal sedan chair was adorned with red silk and gold tassels, which shimmered in the sunlight.

The wedding procession arrived in Xiaoyao Valley in a grand procession. At this moment, red curtains were hung in every house in Xiaoyao Valley, and big red double happiness characters were pasted on the doors and windows.

Leng Feibai dismounted, straightened his clothes, and strode to a house.

Qin Hongmian's parents had passed away many years ago, and since she was only from a collateral branch of the Qin family village, the people of the Qin family village only prepared a simple congratulatory gift and sent two representatives to celebrate. Not many of the main figures came.

Waiting inside the house were Tianshan Tonglao and several disciples of Lingjiu Palace.

Upon seeing Leng Feibai arrive, they smiled with relief.

According to custom, Leng Feibai must undergo a series of tests before he can take the bride away.

The disciples of Lingjiu Palace, who had been arranged by Tianshan Tonglao, stepped forward and raised various questions and demands.

Leng Feibai was well-prepared and skillfully dealt with each problem, eliciting bursts of laughter from everyone.

Finally, Leng Feibai successfully met Qin Hongmian.

He stepped forward and gently lifted the bride's veil, revealing Qin Hongmian's beautiful and charming face. He was momentarily captivated by her beauty.

Qin Hongmian lowered her head shyly, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.

Leng Feibai gently took her hand and whispered, "Hongmian, from this day forward, you are my wife, Leng Feibai's wife. I will love and cherish you for the rest of my life."

Qin Hongmian raised her head, her eyes glistening with tears of happiness, and whispered, "Leng Lang, I am willing to spend the rest of my life with you."

Then, Leng Feibai carried Qin Hongmian and helped her into the bridal sedan chair. The wedding procession set off again, heading towards Yunmeng Manor.

Along the way, the disciples of Xiaoyao Valley and the villagers of Wangyou Valley offered their blessings to the newlyweds, and the entire Xiaoyao Valley area was immersed in a festive atmosphere.

When the wedding procession returned to Yunmeng Mountain Villa, the area outside the villa was already filled with relatives and friends who had come to offer their congratulations.

Leng Feibai didn't have many friends in the martial arts world, and most of the people who came were prominent figures from the Luoyang area.

Also present were Tianshan Tonglao, Su Xinghe, and several of his disciples.

The other martial arts sects did not make any big fuss after learning of Leng Feibai's marriage.

On the contrary, both Shaolin Temple and Beggars' Sect intended to befriend Leng Feibai, and sent a congratulatory gift, but did not send anyone to the wedding banquet.

Surrounded by the crowd, Leng Feibai and Qin Hongmian entered the manor and arrived at the main hall where the wedding banquet was to be held.

In the main hall, a huge "double happiness" character hangs high, flanked by flowers and candles. The flickering candlelight illuminates the entire hall, making it warm and romantic.

The wedding ceremony officially began. Since neither of their parents were alive, Leng Feibai and Qin Hongmian discussed it and decided that Tianshan Tonglao, as the head of both families, would sit in the high seat and receive their obeisance.

After the ceremony, the two were escorted directly into the bridal chamber by the crowd.

As for the ceremony outside, it was Tianshan Tonglao and Su Xinghe who entertained the guests.

Inside the dark space, Haitang Duoduo and the other two girls watched the ceremony outside with amusement on their faces.

Back in Danzhou, with the help of Emperor Qing's decree, Leng Feibai managed to give the two a fairly decent wedding.

Aside from having few guests, all the other formalities were observed.

As for marrying Si Lili, it was pretty much the same.

"This is really lively!"

Haitang Duoduo rested her chin on her hand and said, "When we got married, it wasn't nearly as lively as this."

"no way!"

Sang Wen shrugged and said, "We didn't have good timing. My husband's acquaintances were all in Kyoto at that time. We couldn't go back to Kyoto to hold the wedding, so it had to be a bit quiet."

Si Lili also looked helpless. "Not to mention me. When I entered the family, although the ceremony was no different, I was still a concubine, so it wasn't appropriate to invite Fan Xian and the others to Danzhou for the wedding." "I don't care!"

Haitang Duoduo said irritably, "After I'm resurrected, I'm going to make that brat Leng Feibai make up for it by giving the three of us a lively wedding."

The other two women echoed their agreement for a while, and then the three of them continued watching.

Inside the bridal chamber, red candles burned brightly, and brocade curtains hung low. Qin Hongmian sat quietly by the bed, waiting for Leng Feibai's arrival.

Leng Feibai entered the bridal chamber and looked at Qin Hongmian sitting by the bed, his heart filled with tenderness.

He slowly walked to Qin Hongmian's side, gently lifted her veil, and looking at her beautiful face, he couldn't help but lean down and gently kiss her forehead.

Qin Hongmian closed her eyes shyly. She could feel Leng Feibai's every breath, and her heart beat faster involuntarily.

Leng Feibai held her hand and said softly, "Hongmian, we've come together today. From now on, you are my wife, Leng Feibai's wife, and I will treat you well."

Qin Hongmian opened her eyes, which were full of love, and said, "Leng Lang, I will always be by your side for the rest of my life, sharing your joys and sorrows."

As night fell, the sky over Luoyang and surrounding areas was suddenly filled with dark clouds.

Soon, Qin Hongmian experienced the pain that Haitang Duoduo and the other two had gone through, a feeling that was both painful and joyful.

Eight years later, on the fourth floor of the twelve-story building, on the martial arts stage.

At this moment, Leng Feibai sat cross-legged, with a colorful and crystal-clear silkworm in front of him. It was the Five Elements Gu that his clone had spent ten years refining.

Looking at the Five Elements Gu in front of him, Leng Feibai couldn't help but sigh.

For the past eight years, besides managing the affairs of Xiaoyao Valley, learning some miscellaneous subjects that interest him, and spending time with his wife and daughters, Leng Feibai has been studying the War God's Manual.

But when he was about to study the remaining nineteen stone carvings after finishing the first thirty, he didn't know what was going on.

When Leng Feibai looked over, all he saw was a blinding white expanse.

Left with no other option, Leng Feibai could only use the Feng Hou Qi Men method to deduce the answer, but the result was only four words: the time has not yet come.

Left with no other choice, Leng Feibai had to use the martial arts wisdom he had gleaned from the first thirty pictures to integrate and deduce the mental techniques and martial arts he had learned.

During this period, Leng Feibai created two more unique skills: the Five Elements Undying Body and the Eight Trigrams Ultimate Technique, until the day when the Five Elements Gu was perfected.

"Whether it succeeds or not, let me see how far the Five Elements Gu can help me temper my five internal organs!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he waved his hand and killed the Five Elements Gu in his hand, then swallowed the worm directly.

With the Five Elements Gu entering his body, Leng Feibai's internal organs were as if they were in a furnace, being tempered by a great fire. As for the light on the five internal organs, apart from the heart and liver which remained unchanged, the light on the spleen, kidneys, and lungs was rapidly increasing.

About two hours later, the light emanating from the spleen and kidneys also reached 90%.

As for the light emanating from the lungs, it stagnated after reaching 82% and could not progress any further.

Thus, the plan to use the Five Elements Gu to break through the energy limit has completely failed.

With a light exhale, Leng Feibai stood up from the arena, turned around, and left the Twelve-Story Tower.

Inside Yunmeng Manor, as soon as Leng Feibai returned to the outside world, a beautiful figure rushed into his arms.

"Daddy!"

Leng Feibai's daughter in this life, Leng Wanqing, looked at Leng Feibai with a sweet face.

Seeing his daughter's appearance, Leng Feibai's displeasure vanished. He reached out and ruffled her hair, asking softly, "Where's your mother?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Wanqing quickly said, "Mother went to chat with Aunt Bao. Father, are you going to find Mother?"

"good!"

Leng Feibai tidied his daughter's hair and said gently, "Go play with your little sister Ling'er!"

Leng Wanqing nodded, turned around and ran out.

Watching his daughter leave, Leng Feibai couldn't help but shake his head.

The "Aunt Bao" that Leng Wanqing mentioned was naturally Gan Baobao, Qin Hongmian's good junior sister.

Gan Baobao is the daughter of a female disciple from Qin Family Village and the clan leader of the Raojiang Iron Fork Society. However, because the land of Raojiang is full of poisonous miasma, the female disciple felt sorry for her beloved daughter and secretly took her daughter back to Qin Family Village.

As Gan Baobao grows up, she will regularly travel between Xinjiang and the Central Plains to accompany her father and mother.

But Gan Baobao wasn't as lucky as Qin Hongmian. In the end, when she was seventeen, she met Duan Zhengchun, got together with him, and became pregnant.

After Duan Zhengchun disappeared, Gan Baobao was dejected and thought of her senior sister Qin Hongmian. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Yunmeng Manor to ask her to take her in.

After hearing about Gan Baobao's situation, Qin Hongmian was almost furious. She immediately made Gan Baobao stay at home to rest during her pregnancy and even encouraged Leng Feibai to go to Dali to teach Duan Zhengchun a lesson.

Later, thanks to Gan Baobao's persuasion, Leng Feibai did not make the trip.

After seeing his daughter off, Leng Feibai turned around and went back to his room. He closed his eyes and focused his mind, contacting his clone outside.

The clones who had been assigned to run inns in Hangzhou sold them off after Su Shi was transferred away from Hangzhou, and returned to Leng Feibai's side with a collection of calligraphy and poetry manuscripts that they had obtained from Su Shi through food over the past three years.

Unfortunately, the famous "Cold Food Festival Scroll" could not be written until two years later, in the third year after Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou, and it is no longer available.

In addition, a year ago, in order to complete his mission, Leng Feibai sent two clones to two tribes of Khitan and Jurchen to investigate the situation of Yelü Hongji and Wanyan Aguda.

And see if they can find an opportunity to provoke a conflict between the Jurchens and the Khitans.

However, after the two clones infiltrated the Jurchen and Khitan, they never found a suitable opportunity.

After all, the various Jurchen tribes were now governing themselves and had no ambition to resist the Liao Dynasty.

Meanwhile, Yelü Hongji, besides constantly seeking an opportunity to march south and conquer the Song Dynasty, completely disregarded the few small Jurchen tribes.

Instigating conflict between the two groups would be extremely difficult for the two clones.

Hearing his clone's reply, Leng Feibai couldn't help but sigh, and then issued an order.

If all else fails, a year later, use the Double-Handed Technique to control Yelü Hongji's consciousness and then make him deal with the Jurchen tribes.

Once he has nearly wiped out the various Jurchen tribes, he will kill Yelü Hongji. This will complete the task of the Gate of Heavens, activate the white-robed man's phantom, and figure out how to break through the 90% limit.

Let's also see if the next world is really the world of Qin's Moon, just as my future self said.
