Chapter 123

On the day when the Tianyuan Secret Realm was opened, the cultivators outside the entrance and the new Demon Lord all brought their own men and waited in full alert.

They blocked the area near the entrance, waiting to conduct strict inspections on everyone who came out, and not let anyone go.

Without Fen Xiu, the ceremony of the new covenant between humans and demons was also postponed. Fen Xiu single-handedly provoked a melee between the two sides. If they don't keep him in their hands, neither side can feel at ease.

Moreover, we don’t know how many people have rescued Fen Xiu, so we have to catch them all in one fell swoop.

After coming out of the secret realm, Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan were shocked to see piles of monks, who looked like they were facing a powerful enemy.

Yue Mingjun Bushu and Wang Yichen were also there. They had sharp eyes and immediately spotted Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan.

The Tianyuan Secret Realm is huge, and they don't know whether Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan know clearly what happened. Yue Ming immediately sends a message to Chu Jinglan, telling him that Fen Xiu might be mixed in with the crowd.

The disciples who came out of the secret realm were also startled by the battle outside, but the independent disciple who was saved by Xiao Mo was still alive. He looked around and saw Xiao Mo, and immediately ran over eagerly: "Benefactor!"

He hurriedly bowed to Xiao Mo and said, "We parted in a hurry and didn't have time to exchange names. My name is Xuan Xiaoyang. May I know your name, benefactor?"

Xiao Mo looked around, thought for a moment, and said to Xuan Xiaoyang, "Wait a moment."

Although Xuan Xiaoyang didn't understand, his eyes were still shining and he waited obediently.

The people who were surrounding them just wanted to investigate Fen Xiu and Su Baimo. Chu Jinglan could send a message to Yue Ming, but even if Yue Ming Jun Bushu and Wang Yichen said that Fen Xiu was dead, people from other sects would only be confused, especially since the Demon Lord was still here. They would ask in a thorough manner: How did you know?

Let Jun Bu Shu pretend to tell a fortune on the spot? That's fine, but for some people, there will always be a thorn in their hearts. After all, there is an unsolved mystery, and this is related to the major events of humans and demons. Especially for the demons, Fen Xiu's demon bloodline has fought against Tyrant. If they are not allowed to figure it out, they will really be worried.

The leader of the Sun Sect said, "We suspect that some unscrupulous people who want to prevent the alliance between humans and demons have infiltrated the Tianyuan Secret Realm. We are now verifying the identities of everyone. Don't panic. Several major sects and families are here, and they will definitely not wrongly accuse good people."

Xiao Mo nudged Chu Jinglan with his elbow: "What do you mean?"

Chu Jinglan pondered for a while and walked up to the people who had come out of the secret realm.

Xiao Mo followed his footsteps with a smile and waved to Xuan Xiaoyang. Xuan Xiaoyang didn't understand what he meant, but still followed the two of them.

“No need to check.” Chu Jinglan stood at the front, and everyone’s eyes were instantly focused on him.

"Fen Xiu is dead."

Those few words were clearly heard by everyone, and the crowd was suddenly shocked. The leader of the Sun Sect was about to ask in detail, but he saw the disciple of the Du'e Sect in front of him taking off a transparent mask as thin as a cicada's wing.

Then the face took on a look that he was very familiar with.

The Sun Sect Master choked on his breath, and the elders beside him were dumbfounded: "Xianxian, Xianzun!"

Chu Jinglan said calmly: "Yeah."

He removed the disguise of his cultivation level, and the aura of a Guixu period instantly poured out. In an instant, the heads of the crowd present instantly shrank, and everyone bowed in greeting, saying in unison: "Greetings, Immortal Venerable!"

Chu Jinglan's face was calm and composed. "The demon cultivator Su Baimo and Fen Xiu escaped, and were killed by me and the Taoist couple in the Tianyuan Secret Realm. The human-demon agreement can proceed as usual, so there is no need to worry."

Since Chu Jinglan mentioned him, Xiao Mo thought about it and took off his mask. His unremarkable face was replaced by a stunning one. When some subconscious exclamations rang out, Xiao Mo glanced over Chu Jinglan's expression.

Chu Jinglan, who had previously claimed that he wanted to hide Xiao Mo from anyone, felt Xiao Mo's gaze and heard Chu Jinglan's voice in his mind: "I still want to hide you."

Xiao Mo blinked.

"But it's nice to let them know you're mine."

Xiao Mo curled his lips: "You are mine too."

"Of course."

The two of them knew that the message in the sea could not be heard by outsiders and only warmed themselves. Xuan Xiaoyang, who followed the two of them up, was already stunned, his mouth so big that a duck egg could be stuffed in it.

Xiao Mo said to him: "Now I can tell you my name. Hello, my name is Xiao Mo."

Just now, Xiao Mo guessed that Chu Jinglan would reveal his identity, so he was not in a hurry to tell Xuan Xiaoyang his pseudonym.

Xuan Xiaoyang was completely stunned. After a long while, he trembled and said, "You, you, no, hello."

Xiao Mo: "You don't have to be so polite."

Xuan Xiaoyang blushed at Xiao Mo's smiling voice and was so nervous that he didn't know what to do: "How can I do that? I still have to be polite!"

How could he say the second half of what was in his mind? It was so embarrassing. Xuan Xiaoyang's face turned red and he covered his mouth, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

But after seeing Xiao Mo's frivolous laughter like the autumn moon, Xuan Xiaoyang felt that the heavy embarrassment in his heart was suddenly relieved. He shook his head and laughed himself, showing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

Chu Jinglan raised his hand and showed a magic weapon. The leader of Lingxiao Sect rarely lost his composure and took a few steps forward without paying attention to etiquette: "This, this is--"

It was the treasure from Lingxiao Sect that was stolen by Su Baimo.

Speaking of which, it was Qiuqiu who took out Su Baimo's storage container and gave it to his owner. Chu Jinglan found the things of Lingxiao Sect in it.

Chu Jinglan said: "The property has been returned to its original owner."

The leader of Lingxiao Sect led all the disciples present to pay their respects to Chu Jinglan: "Thank you, Immortal Venerable!"

Several clan leaders and the Demon Lord hurriedly invited Chu Jinglan: "Thank you for your help, Immortal Lord. Now that you are here, why don't you be a witness to the Demon Lord's promise?"

Chu Jinglan said, "No, I have something else to do, so I'll leave now."

After he said that, others didn't dare to invite him again, but Yue Ming couldn't help but ask, "What's the important matter?"

Chu Jinglan said: "Prepare for the ceremony of unification."

Yueming: “…”

Don’t you still have three months?

But the rest of the people suddenly realized that, of course, three months is not a long time, so they need to prepare well!

An elder of Lingxiao Sect felt that an opportunity had come, and said positively: "Immortal Venerable, are you short of manpower? Our sect has held a grand wedding banquet that everyone knows about, and we can provide you with any manpower you want."

Yan Chun was in charge of coordinating the grand ceremony of Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan, but he was indeed very busy. Mo Zhi and Chu Xia could only follow his instructions and could not give much advice. It would be more stable if there were two more experienced people to help Yan Chun share the burden.

Chu Jinglan: "Okay, thank you very much."

The elder of Lingxiao Sect was stunned for a moment. After he confirmed that he had heard correctly, he was immediately overjoyed: "This is our honor! I will send a message back to the sect tomorrow, no, immediately, and have them set off to Du'e Sect immediately!"

The others also found it very strange. They didn't dare to say it out loud, but they were secretly thinking in their hearts, "It seems that Immortal Master Chu is more talkative than before. Is it an illusion?"

The issue of burning cultivation was resolved, and the atmosphere in the Yaori Sect finally relaxed. Chu Jinglan brought Xiao Mo and shattered the void and returned to the Du'e Sect in the blink of an eye. Mo Zhi also got some time to experience the feeling of breaking through space.

Yan Chun was naturally happy to know that he could have help. Although Chu Jinglan had some sword puppets follow his instructions, they could only do some purchasing and arrangement work. Of course, it would be best if someone could discuss more with him.

However, when Xiao Mo said that they also wanted to help, Yan Chunyi said: "Master, Senior Brother, you can understand the process, but it is not reasonable for a newcomer to do it himself. This is not in line with customs. Leave it to us!"

Is there still such a custom? As the coordinator, Yan Chun's status suddenly became higher. He nodded affirmatively: "Of course, you just need to rest. We will deliver the dresses and other things that need your review on time."

With such a caring son, who can finally take a good rest, who wouldn’t be happy?

So Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan, who were told that they could not hold the ceremony, started to live in their own world in advance.

Xiao Mo could see the wonders of the 81 peaks of Du'e Sect one by one.

The scenery in each place is indeed unique, with beautiful views of the four seasons and fairyland on earth. Every mountain is a new surprise, as if the most beautiful scenery in the world has been moved to Du'e Sect.

After looking at so many scenes one by one, if Xiao Mo had to rank the best, he would choose this one:

The paradise on earth at Yizhao Peak.

The wonders in this mountain were not formed naturally, but a special space opened up by the powerful Guixu. There are formations underneath to maintain the scenery, and the appearance inside is entirely determined by people. When you step into this world, there is the night sky above your head. While there is a bright full moon, the starlight is not dim. The stars are scattered all over the sky, forming a galaxy in the sky and weaving a brilliant and gorgeous curtain for the full moon.

The forest here is very quiet, with the fragrance of flowers around the forest trails. There is a small pavilion on the top of the mountain, from which you can view the surging sea of ​​clouds. The scenery is not the most stunning, but it is indeed Xiao Mo's favorite.

Xiao Mo looked at the magnificent scenery in the sky from the foot of the mountain, and his heart was moved. Chu Jinglan also looked at him at this time.

Xiao Mo stretched out his hand: "Carry me up, Chu Jinglan."

The Immortal bowed his head for him.

The shoulders carrying Xiao Mo no longer carried the youthfulness of a teenager, and the pace he took as he walked through the mountains and forests was also different from before. Chu Jinglan carried Xiao Mo on his back and walked up step by step. Xiao Mo held the flute and played a song that belonged to them.

They have regrets along the way, but in the past they had the true love that blossomed in their youth, and now they have a music score that they have finally completed.

It's not perfect with some bumps and bruises, but it's also perfect. They still walk together and entrust their feelings to each other. Chu Jinglan's back is steady, and Xiao Mo feels safe and secure against his warmth.

They have changed, and they haven't changed. There will be countless opportunities in the future to walk along the forest paths with their loved ones on their backs, admire the moon and stars, and compose music that belongs to them. That's enough.

Chu Jinglan walked neither fast nor slow. When he reached the top of the mountain, Xiao Mo had just finished playing the entire song "Mo Ran Cang Lan".

Xiao Mo hooked his neck and whispered in his ear: "I'll carry you next time."

Chu Jinglan's response was to turn her head and kiss him on the lips.

The moon is bright and the stars are shining, and the love is deep.

After taking a leisurely look at the scenery in Du'e Sect, most of the three months had passed. Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan came to the lower world to clean Wan Yu's tomb. When Chu Jinglan bent down and carefully wiped the tombstone, the tassel on his sword swayed with his movements.

It is a knot woven with silver-blue silk threads, symbolizing good health, and underneath is a crystal clear black ice lotus, clear and beautiful, with every stroke engraved with loving care.

It was the sword tassel made by Xiao Mo and put on Chu Jinglan's sword.

Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan cleaned up the surroundings together. Chu Jinglan held the incense and said, "Mom, I'll bring my Taoist partner to see you."

Xiao Mo also held up the incense and bowed: "I am willing to marry Jing Lan and will always be with him, please rest assured."

Chu Jinglan turned around and looked at Xiao Mo gently.

Others may not understand the look in his eyes, but Xiao Mo must understand.

Xiao Mo felt a little awkward for a moment, his eyes wandered for a moment, and his ears gradually turned red.

But Chu Jinglan didn't look away and just stared at him quietly.

Xiao Mo felt his tongue getting tangled in knots several times, opening and closing his mouth repeatedly, until his face began to turn red. Then, under Chu Jinglan's astonished gaze, Xiao Mo finally ended his words with a name, "...Mother."

The wind from the mountains blew past, stirring up fragments of gilded light in Chu's shocked eyes, and also blew through the leaves that shaded the tombstone. The leaves swayed back and forth, as if nodding in satisfaction, softly and gently.

The wind also blessed them.

The year in the world of cultivation changes every thousand years. Today is the 620th year of Hongxin, the seventh day of the fifth month, a good day for getting married.

The Du'e Sect, which had been deserted for many years, was now illuminated by colorful clouds, and all kinds of blessings were gathered. The voices of people were bustling about. Immortal boats, some majestic and some gorgeous, were sailing towards the Sect, breaking the dusty silence.

Gazing from the mountain gate, one can see a thousand miles of red makeup, clouds dragging across the ground, and endless celestial music. The slender tail feathers of the golden flaming phoenix streak across the sky, and a flock of birds with gorgeous wings dance with it in the clouds.

Hundreds of birds pay homage to the phoenix, holding various kinds of spiritual herbs in their mouths, and occasionally throwing them to those who are destined to receive them. Even if one is just passing by, one can benefit from this vast and rich spiritual energy, and feel refreshed both physically and mentally.

This was an unprecedented grand ceremony of reunification. The guests who came to the banquet included the nobles from the upper realm. There were countless treasures and beautiful objects, as well as the lavish handicrafts of the host. I am afraid that for a long time to come, it will be difficult to see another ceremony of reunification that can compare with today's.

Jun Bushu did not tell fortunes, but said with certainty: "Good luck."

Yueming has been counting the time since she sat down. When a loud bird crowed through the sky, she looked up excitedly: "Here it comes!"

Two people came holding hands and dancing on the clouds.

They are dressed in red and adorned with golden hairpins. One of them is as beautiful as a peach, with a bright gaze; the other is extraordinarily handsome, with a jade-like figure among the trees.

Even though they knew that the two were extremely beautiful, many people were unable to take their eyes away.

They stood there, and after countless compliments and astonishing words, everyone would have a clear thought in their mind:

A match made in heaven.

There was no one else who could match them so well, only each other, made for each other.

Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan held hands and walked towards the platform step by step.

The dress was heavy, with long trains trailing on the ground. The two of them walked solemnly. Xiao Mo could hear his own heartbeat like a drum. He stared straight ahead, not even daring to look at the people around him.

Until he felt Chu Jinglan's hand tightening around his.

The gold ornament hanging from the end of Xiao Mo's hair swayed.

...It turned out that he was not the only one who was nervous. The Immortal Lord who was above ten thousand people was also secretly panicking because of him.

Xiao Mo's tense shoulders relaxed and he chuckled.

He didn't turn his head, but after a moment, he heard a faint laugh.

The spring breeze blows across the lake, seemingly shallow but deep.

Today is their big day, and both of them feel the same way.

They walked hand in hand to the high platform, bowed to heaven and earth, held up the marriage certificate, and sealed the marriage seal.

Not every Taoist couple's ceremony has such a process, because some people don't know how to make the Taoist couple seal, but Xiao Mo and Chu Jinglan not only made it, but also made the Red Luan seal.

Because they had already made the seal before, this last step just required them to pick up the pen and trace the seal again.

Chu Jinglan lifted Xiao Mo's chin slightly, placed the soft tip of the pen on the red lotus blooming on Xiao Mo's forehead, and traced it in detail.

With every stroke of the pen, our hearts are connected. My sweetheart is with me day and night.

Then Xiao Mo picked up his brush and painted the dark night sky between Chu Jinglan's eyebrows.

We will be together forever, and I will hold your hand through all the lives to come.

Having drawn the Red Luan Seal that would never fade away, they looked into each other's eyes, with only each other's figures in their eyes.

"——The ceremony is over! Heaven and earth are witnesses, this couple is made in heaven. May the lovers live in harmony and have a happy marriage forever!"

In the midst of the world, they found each other and will never get lost again. The world is so big, but my heart has its own home.
