Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master before his death. He changed his fate to save his master, but died of old age.
When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...
Chen Xiao followed Xi Yunting to the hall again. Unlike the previous time when the hall was deserted, there were several people standing in the corridor outside the hall, and all of them had serious expressions.
Xi Yunting took Chen Xiao to meet them one by one. These people were either elders or priests, or people with real power. Even the current leader Tai Xuan was here.
When they saw Chen Xiao, their expressions relaxed slightly.
Tai Xuan said amiably, "No need to be so polite. I'm too busy today. I'll let Junior Brother Xi take you to my place some other day."
The other few people did not talk to Chen Xiao, but nodded politely.
Chen Xiao could see that although they were smiling on the surface, the heavy atmosphere was lingering.
Chen Xiao bowed his head and saluted Taixuan, and Xi Yunting took him into the room.
The disciple on duty quietly closed the heavy door, blocking the worried and serious gazes of the senior leaders outside.
Chen Xiao's already nervous mood made them even heavier. He took a deep breath quietly to calm down.
Although this house is large, it is so quiet that one can hear a pin drop. The sound of Chen Xiao's breathing seems a little clearer.
A hoarse voice sounded, saying: "You must be Chen Xiao, don't be nervous, I just want to see you. Come closer, come to me."
If he wasn't mentally strong enough, Chen Xiao would have been so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Xi Yunting didn't want to get too close to him in front of his master, so he just encouraged him with his eyes.
Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting walked around the screen and entered the inner bedroom. This inner room was filled with clothes hangers, antique shelves, flower stands, and a chaise longue by the window. The colors were calm, the decoration was simple and elegant, and dark colors were mostly used.
There was a large low couch in the center of the inner room, with a light-colored curtain hanging from above, which was open facing Chen Xiao.
An old man with a haggard face was sitting there, supporting himself on the bed with his hands.
The old man was in a bad state, but his mind was still clear. The eyes on his thin face looked at Chen Xiao.
Xi Yunting was startled, and walked over quickly, helping the old man to lean against the cushion at the head of the bed. He said disapprovingly, "You are still not feeling well, so why bother to sit up? Brother Xiao is not an outsider, so even if we meet while lying down, no one will think it's rude."
Chen Xiao also took a step over, gently lifted the old man's legs and placed them on the bed.
Tai Su sighed and said with a smile, "I am old after all. I can't sit still anymore." He looked at Chen Xiao kindly and said, "I should have seen you yesterday, but I was not feeling well, so you made a wasted trip." He waved his hand at Xi Yunting and said, "Don't stand, sit down."
Xi Yunting moved two round stools over from the side and sat down with Chen Xiao close to Tai Su's bed.
Tai Su's condition was really serious. Not only did he begin to age in appearance and lose energy, but even his cultivation began to regress significantly.
But he has always been open-minded, and even took the initiative to comfort the two worried juniors. He said: "Birth, aging, illness and death are very normal. Compared with those immortal cultivators who died in their youth, I am lucky to die of old age."
Xi Yunting's lips moved slightly, and he held back the words that he wanted to refute.
Birth, old age, sickness and death apply to mortals. For those in the fusion stage, if they do not live as long as the gods, they will at least live for thousands of years.
Tai Su's aging like this is definitely not normal, and his attitude of accepting his fate is even more abnormal!
Chen Xiao said softly, "Senior, my elder brother and Master Liu, as well as the elders of Chongxuan Sect, are all worried about your situation. There are so many wise men in the world of immortal cultivation, and they will definitely be able to find a way to cure you. Senior, please don't be discouraged. We, the younger generation, cannot bear to lose you, and Chongxuan Sect cannot lose a respected elder like you. If something happens to you, I don't know how sad my elder brother and Master Liu will be."
Tai Su's eyes moved slightly, and his expression relaxed a little, but then he became relieved and said to him: "You and Yun Ting will be married soon, and you can call me Master. Immortal cultivators don't have to act like such a little girl, and don't bother to think of any solutions. I know my own situation very well. Yun Ting, tell Shao Guang not to waste energy on me. Hurry up and arrange your marriage. I will be very pleased and satisfied to see you get married before I die."
"Master, what are you doing?" Xi Yunting leaned forward and pleaded, "Do you know what the root cause is? Please don't hide it. We disciples will save you even if we have to go through fire and water, or even to heaven and earth."
Tai Su sighed, "I told you, don't worry about me." His situation was unsolvable, and he simply didn't believe that anyone in the world could save him.
Xi Yunting wanted to persuade him again, but Chen Xiao stopped him and said softly, "Master Taisu, even if we juniors can't do it, there are still the elders outside the sect who can help make decisions. Besides, many hands make light work. There are so many powerful people in the world of immortal cultivation, and they may be able to solve your problem."
Tai Su frowned and said in a serious tone: "This matter is limited to Zhongxuan. I don't want this matter to spread widely. Do you understand?"
Not being able to die heroically and having to lie here lingering on was already embarrassing enough for Tai Su. If he hadn't wanted to see Xi Yunting get married, he would have given up long ago.
Chen Xiao said apologetically: "It was the junior who overstepped his bounds."
Tai Su softened his eyes and stretched out his hand to him. Chen Xiao hurriedly bent down and held his dry and rough palms with both hands.
Tai Su patted his palm and said, "I understand your intentions, but I am sorry for your kindness. I just want to live this period of time in peace and leave quietly. I don't want to cause any chaos."
Xi Yunting lowered his eyes, holding back the bitterness. Chen Xiao, however, recalled that his master Fang Gu had also gone through a similar period, and his eyes became red.
Tai Su sighed inwardly, picked up a storage bag with his other hand and stuffed it into Chen Xiao's hand.
Taking his hand back, he said, "This is for your wedding. I can't do it for you personally, so use these to do your best."
After saying this, he seemed to have used up all his strength, and a look of fatigue appeared on his face.
Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting didn't dare to disturb him anymore, so they had to stand up and leave.
After coming out, Liu Shaoguang also came over. He was talking to several elders with a serious expression, discussing ways to delay Tai Su's aging.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao pulled Xi Yunting and moved closer to listen.
Liu Shaoguang noticed them and nodded at them.
All the high-ranking members of the Chongxuan Sect who are proficient in alchemy and medicine making are here. What makes people frown is that it is unheard of that Taisu would become weak for no reason.
What made them even more helpless was that Taisu refused to cooperate and didn't even bother to try.
Just now inside, Chen Xiao also personally experienced Tai Su's determination to give up treatment, and couldn't help but frown as well.
After Liu Shaoguang finished talking to the others, he came over and said to the two of them, "Have you set a date for your wedding?"
Xi Yunting looked hesitant. Taisu's condition was so serious, how could he have the mind to hold the wedding? He wanted to postpone it.
Liu Shaoguang seemed to see through his thoughts, and said calmly and slightly sternly: "Master told me before you came that your wedding cannot be delayed no matter what. I can't let Master down, so you two can prepare for the wedding without any worries. You two youngsters don't need to worry about Master's affairs, the elders in the sect will take care of it. When the date is decided, go get some formal dresses, get beauty treatments, and do your makeup. We will host a banquet for many immortal sects at that time, so you two must appear glamorous!"
From childhood to adulthood, Chen Xiao could only remember that Fang Gu was the only one who disciplined him.
Liu Shaoguang's tone was more severe than Fang Gu's, but Chen Xiao did not feel disgusted. Instead, he felt genuinely refreshed.
This feeling of having parents taking care of him made Chen Xiao feel very reliable.
Xi Yunting was a little worried about his master, but Liu Shaoguang was firm in his attitude.
He said, "I understand. Senior brother, you don't have to worry about me. Xiaodi and I will take care of the wedding. Senior brother, just focus on Master's affairs."
Liu Shaoguang said, "I will ask your second senior brother to follow Master. We have already prepared most of the wedding arrangements, and you two don't need to do the rest. As long as you agree on a date, I can send out invitations right away."
Xi Yunting asked in surprise: "Second Senior Brother is back?"
Liu Shaoguang nodded and said, "But you have informed him before that you are going to get married. He came back once and then went to the back mountain to train. I will send a communication talisman and call him."
Xi Yunting breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I feel relieved." Although Tao Yi is taciturn and obsessed with cultivation, he is an extremely reliable person. There is nothing he cannot accomplish.
After coming out of the hall, Chen Xiao didn't know where to go for a moment, and Xi Yunting finally remembered to ask him about his visit to Wu Xinzhi yesterday.
Chen Xiao told him that they had decided to get married, and asked him how a wedding like theirs should be held.
Xi Yunting said: "Outer disciples only need to report their marriage to their superiors, and hold the ceremony on the right day."
Chen Xiao asked curiously: "What is the difference between a wedding held by a cultivator and a wedding held between mortals?"
Xi Yunting explained to him: "The etiquette process is very different. Mortals have etiquette such as adoption, betrothal, and worship of heaven and earth, while immortal cultivators need to perform three ceremonies and kowtow to their parents."
Chen Xiao had long known that immortal cultivators did not have the engagement and betrothal procedures before marriage. But he found out today that the three rituals that replaced the complicated etiquette of the mortal world were no simpler than the mortal world's etiquette.
He is not afraid of the many and complicated etiquettes, as long as he arranges them in advance.
What bothered him at the moment was whether Wu Xinzhi and Er Shun’s wedding should be a mortal wedding or a cultivator’s wedding.
Xi Yunting suggested: "Why don't you let them make the decision themselves?"
Chen Xiao thought about it and agreed, so he went to Bokun Mountain with Xi Yunting.
Ershun was no longer at the place arranged yesterday. After asking the manager, she was told that Wu Xinzhi had taken her to visit Tuofeng Mountain where he lived.
After they got married, they would move to the area where married disciples lived. Er Shun didn't have to come, but she really wanted to see where her fiancé had lived for more than ten years.
When Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting arrived, Wu Xinzhi's residence was very lively. Not only did the fellow villagers from Fan Village come, but also other outer disciples who knew about this matter were here to join in the fun.
It can be said that the story of Wu Xinzhi, an unmarried woman who traveled thousands of miles across the sky and earth to find her husband, has spread, and people all want to meet this legendary woman.
