The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 357 Mysterious Gift, Xu Family Tradition

Because this place is too far away from the family, Xu Zhiyu just used the messenger talisman to tell the clan brother that he was getting married, and at the same time said hello to all the clan members.

Xu Zhisong usually doesn't like to go out, so he doesn't have many friends in Fangshi. Most of them are made by attending talisman master gatherings. Although the friendship is not deep, he has sent invitations and invited them to have a wedding banquet. .

The difference is that the Xiao Xue brother and sister have been hanging out in the city these years, and they have actually met many monks. Maybe they got along well before, and many people came to attend the wedding.

Coupled with everyone in the Xu family, their wedding was quite lively.

The wedding was held in the Xiao family store. This was a decision made after careful consideration. Because the store was about to expire, the contents had already been moved out. It was perfect to hold the wedding. If it were to be held in Yuanguang Pavilion, it would be too troublesome to make room.

After all the guests were sent away one after another, the Xu family did not stay at the Xiao family's shop for a long time, but all returned to their own shop. Xiao Feng did not follow. Now Xiao Xue has become a member of the Xu family, making it clear that after they return, It will definitely be more lively. If he goes there alone, it will only make everyone uncomfortable.

As for why this happened, it was mainly related to the two Foundation-Building Talismans. Xu Zhikai and Xu Zhijuan were reluctant to part with those two Talismans, because they represented two Foundation-Building Pills and two Foundation-Building monks, so they gave them to Xiao Feng as a betrothal gift. They were puzzled by the clan brother and dissatisfied with Xiao Feng, thinking that if he hadn't kept silent, the clan brother would not have come up with such a valuable treasure.

The two of them thought he was a greedy person from the bottom of their hearts, so they never smiled at him, even today. As soon as they met his eyes, the smiles they originally showed because of their clan brother's great joy would suddenly disappear. end.

Not to mention Xu Zhisong. He was already unhappy with Xiao Feng for obstructing the two of them. In addition, he received two more foundation-building talismans, which made him feel even worse about his senses. But after all, he was himself The brother of a Taoist companion has to take into account the face of his Taoist companion, so he can still smile, but his smile is somewhat forced.

As for Xiao Xue, her mood is even more complicated now. She originally thought that the relationship between brother and sister should be extremely deep since they were dependent on each other for so many years. However, when someone else took out two foundation-building talismans, this kind of relationship disappeared. It seemed like it instantly became worthless.

She turned back to look at Xu Zhisong who was walking beside her. Thinking that this would be the Taoist companion she would live with for the rest of her life, she calmed down her depressed mood, stretched out her hand, took his hand, and held it tightly.

But to Xu Zhiyu, it didn't matter at all. To him, Xiao Feng was just an insignificant passerby, unable to cause any ripples. Others didn't know the details of the Foundation Building Talisman, but he knew it too well, and he also understood that it was not of that great value.

However, the two foundation-building spiritual talismans still require the clan brother to pay for the spiritual stones. After all, it is for him to marry a Taoist companion, and it is natural to produce spiritual stones. It happened that some time ago, because of the golden elixir treasure, several people had a large amount of money in their accounts. The pen spirit stones and the storage bag are all bulging, so these spirit stones can be taken out without any burden.

However, the clan brother had been busy sending invitations to Taoist acquaintances before, and today was another big day. He decided not to tell him about it today and wait until tomorrow, so as not to disturb the wedding ceremony.

Just as he was approaching the entrance of Yuanguang Pavilion, Xu Zhikai seemed to have remembered something and asked:

"By the way, Brother Eleven, is there a monk named Shopkeeper Wu among the people you know? When I registered the guests' gifts today, this man gave me a generous gift!"

Xu Zhisong, who was making love to his concubine with a Taoist couple, was flirting with his concubine when he heard his brother's question. Suddenly, he began to think about whether among the monks he knew, there was one with the surname Wu who was also a shopkeeper. However, he thought about it. Underneath, there is still no clue.

"I didn't remember what kind of gift he got, and you actually asked Zhikai to call it a generous gift?"

"A second-level mid-grade long sword weapon. I took a look and it is definitely the best of the best. It is worth about 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones."

As soon as these words came out, not only Xu Zhisong was shocked, but Xu Zhijuan and Xiao Xue were also a little surprised. You must know that when attending other people's weddings, foundation-building monks usually only receive a gift of ten or twenty thousand low-grade spiritual stones. This is still a relatively close relationship. Those with average connections only have seven or eight thousand spirit stones. Don’t think that all foundation-building monks are short of spirit stones. In fact, some are not rich.

"Then he didn't explain which force he came from? Since he claims to be a shopkeeper, he should have a shop. Didn't you ask this clearly when you registered?" Xu Zhisong asked curiously.

Xu Zhikai tilted his head, recalled the scene at that time, and then replied:

"The person who came to present the gift at that time was a junior who had perfected his qi practice. He said that he came to present the gift on behalf of the shopkeeper. He also said that the shopkeeper was busy and could not escape, so he sent him to present a gift. Xinyi, I also asked him at that time what kind of store they were, but he said that as long as you talk to Brother Eleven, the shopkeeper of Wu, you will naturally understand who sent it!"

"But I really don't know such a shopkeeper named Wu. It's really strange!"

"Husband, do you think it could be that there was another couple getting married today by chance, and that person happened to have the same surname as yours, and then the guy went to the wrong place?" Xiao Xue changed her tune very quickly, having already introduced her identity, she guessed .

"Sister-in-law Eleven, this possibility is unlikely. How can a monk who can survive in Tianyuanfang City be so confused?"

Xu Zhijuan obviously disagreed with her guess, but she changed her mind just as quickly. At least she accepted her on the surface, but it would probably take time to truly accept her from the bottom of her heart.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention!

When Xu Zhikai mentioned the name Shopkeeper Wu and the congratulatory gift, Xu Zhiyu could easily tell who sent the gift.

Needless to say, this must be Shopkeeper Wu of Taiyang Tower. He got the news from somewhere that his brother was getting married, and then sent someone to give him a generous gift.

He couldn't understand why such a big boss of the Taiyang Tower branch, and a high-status fake infant monk, was so interested in himself and what happened around him? He probably didn't know the relationship between him and Mr. Tong, and he believed that Tong Ying would not spread the word about it, so he was puzzled by Shopkeeper Wu's extra concern and various ways of treating him.

I thought to myself, I'm not my uncle, why are you so concerned about me? What's the use of flattering me? The guy sent by Shopkeeper Wu said that Xu Zhisong would know it as long as he mentioned his name. In fact, the person who really knew here was himself.

"Okay, everyone, stop guessing. Since this person has sent a gift, it means that he has no ill intentions towards us. Just accept it with peace of mind! Besides, even if you want to withdraw, you can't find someone who is not, so just How about this!"

When several people were arguing, he spoke at the right time and ended the topic, because it had no meaning in itself, and the argument could not produce a result unless he told the answer, but he obviously didn't want to do that. Soon everyone returned to Yuanguang Pavilion, but they did not disperse, nor were they making a fuss about the bridal chamber. Instead, there was also a sumptuous banquet here, waiting for them to come back and enjoy it!

This was Xu Zhiyu's special order, because today's wedding at Xiao's store, Xu Zhigui and the Taoist couple guarding the store did not attend.

The people attending the wedding today are all Foundation Establishment monks. They will feel uncomfortable if they go there. They can ignore their cultivation by closing the door, as brothers and sisters, but in public, they must follow the conventions of the Immortal Cultivation World and see the Foundation Establishment monks. They had to bend down to salute and address themselves as "senior", so after asking for advice, they stayed in the store and specially prepared such a wedding banquet.

It was already around Hai hour, and the shop had closed long ago. All the tribesmen were seated at the table, including Xu Zhigui and his Taoist companions, there were a total of fifteen people, and everyone started eating and drinking happily again.

This was also specially arranged by him, just to allow Xiao Xue to integrate into the Xu family as soon as possible. I believe that when she sees that Xu Zhigui and his fellow Qi practitioners can sit at the same table and eat as equals as them, foundation-building monks, without being exclusive at all, she will definitely let go of her worries and truly regard herself as Xu Zhigui. family.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, a large table of dishes was soon wiped out. Although the monks will eat less as their cultivation level increases until they are fast, but if they really open up to eat, the amount of food they eat is still amazing. .

"Okay, that's it for today! It's getting late, so let the two newcomers rest early!" He said with a smile.

When they heard this, Xu Zhisong and Xu Zhisong were very shy, especially Xiao Xue, whose ears were all red. When the other tribesmen saw this, they started to boo even more fiercely.

After the fight, Xu Zhiyu remembered something again and said to everyone:

"By the way, I almost forgot an important thing after being coaxed by you all! There is a family order that any foundation-building monk who marries into the Xu family or becomes a wife of the Xu family can select a second-level magic weapon from the family treasury as a reward. Although we are in a foreign country now, this tradition must continue.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhikai raised an objection.

"Brother Nineteen, is there really such a tradition? Then why have I never heard of it?"

The rest of the Xu family were also confused, and they were all waiting for him to answer their questions.

"Haha, I don't blame you, because this tradition is not recorded in written form in the clan rules. It is only passed down orally by the family patriarch. I only found out about it accidentally when I listened to the chat between my ancestor and the clan leader.

As for why you are not clear about it, it is because the last time we followed this tradition and rewarded foundation-building monks who married into the Xu family, it was more than two hundred years ago. At that time, a member of our Xu family named "De" Her ancestor married a Taoist monk who was in the foundation-building stage, and the ancestors and clan leaders at that time also gave her a second-level magic weapon according to tradition. "

"I understand, thank you Brother Nineteen for clearing up the confusion!" Xu Zhigui and others expressed their gratitude. They were very interested in these family secrets.

"Then since we are no longer in the family, how should this tradition be carried out? After all, although I have never entered the family treasure house, I heard that there are no less than fifty second-level magic weapons stored in it, and each one has been refined by ancestors of all generations. Where can I find so many second-level magic weapons for Sister-in-law Eleven to choose from?" Xu Zhijuan asked.

Perhaps because she was afraid that Xu Zhiyu, the person in charge of the store, would cause trouble, Xiao Xue said very considerately:

"It's okay. The second-level magic weapon I have used over the years is very convenient and powerful. I have no idea of ​​​​changing the magic weapon for the time being. This tradition can wait until I return to Clan Mountain with my husband. There is no need to do it now. conduct!"

So is this the end of the matter? Of course not. Since Xu Zhiyu had already raised this matter, how could it be without aim? He had already been prepared when he thought of it.

"Come, come with me!" He looked around at everyone with a smile, and then led the way to a large square table, which is usually where customers inspect goods. It was two feet long and two feet wide, and was as high as the waist.

People who didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd came to the table and stood there to watch his actions.

He was still calm and gently touched the storage ring on his waist. However, in the eyes of others, he patted the storage bag on his waist and saw a flash of light. It was originally empty. On the table, six brocade boxes of different sizes and colors appeared.

"There are six second-level magic weapons of different grades inside. Since Sister-in-law Eleven, your current cultivation level is already at the third level of Foundation Establishment, and you will soon break through to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, which is the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, so The lowest level of the second-order middle-grade magical instruments contained in these boxes is three second-order medium-grade magical instruments, and three second-order high-grade magical instruments.

Sister-in-law Eleven, you can choose one from these six treasure boxes. Whatever you choose will matter. It depends on your luck. Of course, if you want to let Brother Eleven do it for you, that’s fine too! "

After he finished announcing the rules, everyone was attracted by this novel way of playing, because they had just released their spiritual consciousness to test it. These six brocade boxes seemed to be made of special materials and had the effect of weakly isolating their spiritual consciousness. His spiritual consciousness is not strong enough to see through the secrets in the box.

In the end, Xiao Xue refused to be helped by others and decided to make her own choice. Everyone held their breath and waited for the result of her choice.

I saw her hand brushing over the brocade box one by one, going back and forth three times before making the final decision. She chose a red-colored and smallest box. After opening it, she found that there was a emerald-colored tree inside. , a green second-level high-quality hairpin instrument.

She was obviously very satisfied with her choice. In the end, Xu Zhisong personally inserted the hairpin into her tall bun. Everyone else also praised the beauty of the hairpin and how it complemented Xiao Xue.

Only Xu Zhiyu, who was standing aside, smiled and said nothing, silently putting the remaining brocade box on the table back into the ring.

In fact, he just lied. All the six brocade boxes contained second-level high-grade magic weapons. No matter how Xiao Xue chose, the ones he chose would be second-level high-grade magic weapons. It was just a different type. In doing so, he was still... Win people's hearts.

Although he made his own decision, I believe that his ancestors and grandfather would not blame him after knowing it, because if a second-level high-grade magic weapon is replaced by a foundation-building monk and marries into the Xu family and returns home, no matter how you calculate it, it will be incomparable. Good deal. (End of chapter)
