"Oh!" Fang Jian nodded suddenly, and said, "Yes, that's exactly why I came here."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xuling sighed and said, "Then your visit to Chang'an is rather untimely."

"Why?" Fang Jian asked in surprise.

Zheng Xuling said, "Fellow Daoist, you may not know that the City God of Chang'an Prefecture is getting married, so he has issued a decree that all demon-slaying and weapon-removing activities in Chang'an Prefecture will be suspended and will not resume until after the wedding."

Fang Jian heard this and laughed, "That's fine. The wedding will only take three or four days, so I can just wait for three or four days."

Zheng Xuling looked at Fang Jian, then shook his head and said, "Young man, you are still too young. The marriage of the City God of Chang'an Prefecture is not something that can be completed in three or four days."

"Oh?" Fang Jian asked in surprise, "How long will it take him?"

Zheng Xuling held up three fingers and said, "Three months."

"Three months?!" Hei Hai, who was standing by, exclaimed in surprise. "The confinement period is less than three months. What kind of bride did he marry? It actually takes three months?"

Zheng Xuling looked at Hei Haier and asked, "Who is this?"

"Oh, it's the little boy who serves me." Fang Jian said with a smile.

Zheng Xuling nodded and explained, "The City God said that the three months were set by the future City God's wife. In the first month, the City God will visit the bride's house three times to propose marriage, then agree on the marriage and the marriage date. In the second month, all the cultivators living in Chang'an Prefecture will come to offer their congratulations and build nine Phoenix Towers between the bride's home and the City God's residence. In the third month, the bride will be welcomed. The wedding procession will visit a Phoenix Tower every three days and then rest in one of the towers for one night. After visiting all nine towers, they will arrive at the City God's residence and the wedding ceremony can officially begin."

"So within these three months, all rituals and ceremonies in Chang'an Prefecture must be stopped," said Zheng Xuling.

Seeing Fang Jian's expression gradually darken, Hei Haier quickly took the initiative to ask, "Who is this woman? Why is she making such a big fuss?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xuling glanced around and whispered, "Don't spread rumors out there. This woman is the sister of the Ghost King of Mangshan in the underworld. The Ghost King of Mangshan is a fourth-rank immortal official in the underworld, in charge of a region of ghosts and commanding ten thousand ghost soldiers. Although he's only one rank higher than the City God, his power is much greater."

"No wonder," Hei Haier nodded and said, "The City God of Chang'an Prefecture married into a family with higher power and authority than himself. He will definitely be controlled by his wife in the future."

Zheng Xuling smiled faintly upon hearing this and said, "You kid don't understand. If the City God of Chang'an Prefecture marries a relative like this, it will be easier for him to become an official in the future."

After Hei Haier realized that he had asked all the questions he needed to, he immediately turned to Fang Jian and called out, "Master."

Fang Jian's expression had long since returned to normal. Upon hearing this, he simply waved his hand and said, "Let's see him build a tall building first!"
