The second day early in the morning, Liu Qingyan was pulled away by Wang Yuzhi.
Lu Zheng had already come to Dingfeng Mountain before, so he was not particularly curious, nor did he follow.
Of course, Wang Yuzhi still had to manage Hu Zhou’s wedding affairs after all, so she only spared half a day to chat some intimate words with Liu Qingyan, then threw herself back into the busy preparations.
Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan had just arrived and could not help much, so they were led by Hu Zhou and Gao Junyu to play around the surroundings for a few days.
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, the tenth of the first month had arrived, the day of the grand wedding came.
On the wedding day, the entire Dingfeng Mountain was adorned with red and hung with colours, the demons and mountain folk in the mountain all wore a strand of red on their bodies to show celebration.
Several pairs of performers who had been invited had already set up their instruments in one corner of the square, beating gongs and drums, plucking zithers and blowing sheng, the joyful tunes, after being amplified by a series of spells, echoed throughout the upper and lower parts of Dingfeng Mountain.
They casually ate some lunch at noon, just after the wei hour in the afternoon, Hu Zhou and Gao Junyu were taken to different houses to dress and make up, while Hu Yijun couple and Gao Xiu couple waited for guests at the entrance of the grand hall.
Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan had already been arranged early in the first row of tables inside the grand hall, today they just needed to be spectators.
“Good grief, so many tables, it is truly lively enough.” Lu Zheng exclaimed in admiration.
“Yes!” Liu Qingyan nodded.
This time for the marriage, Dingfeng Mountain had set up banquets in three places respectively.
Inside the grand hall twenty tables, which were the true core positions, the guests were all familiar people as well as their younger generations and direct lines.
On the square two hundred tables, entertaining the general subordinates brought by guests, visitors from surrounding small forces and those who heard the news and came to congratulate, etc., while the personnel of Dingfeng Mountain without hosting duties all sat together as accompanying guests.
At the foot of the mountain there were still hundreds of tables of flowing banquet, used to entertain the mountain folk and common people around Dingfeng Mountain, to show universal celebration.
The flowing banquet at the foot of the mountain was handled by subordinates of Dingfeng Mountain, the two hundred tables on the square were also hosted by several demons with profound cultivation.
The Hu Yijun four people only entertained the true distinguished guests at the entrance of the grand hall.
While Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan were chatting, they saw a mass of green cloud floating from the sky.
At the square entrance, the announcer’s eyes flashed, surging demonic power, his voice resounding across the four fields.
“Qingyang True Person of Xuankong Mountain arrives!”
The green cloud floated over, landing at the place near the grand hall on the square, the cloud light dispersed, revealing inside about ten or so people, the leading one unexpectedly was an old Taoist priest wearing a green Daoist robe, holding a whisk, with a lean face, sporting a goatee.
“Taoist priest?” Liu Qingyan asked.
“Cannot tell.” Lu Zheng shook his head and said.
“Greetings to Hu brother! This old Daoist is the first to come to freeload and mooch wine!”
“Hahaha, many thanks to Qingyang brother, today we will not return until we are drunk, please come inside!”
Qingyang True Person laughed heartily, then greeted Wang Yuzhi, Gao Xiu, Wang Muran and the other three one by one, before being led by a demon to his seat.
His several subordinates were arranged on the square, while he himself was led to the first row position inside the grand hall.
“Eh?”
Seeing Lu Zheng and the other, Qingyang True Person could not help but let out a soft exclamation, “I thought I was the earliest to arrive, unexpectedly there are already fellow Daoists here.”
Qingyang True Person cupped his hands in salute and said, “Qingyang of Xuankong Mountain, greetings to the two of you.”
“Lu Zheng of Baiyun Temple, greetings to True Person, this is my wife Madam Liu.” Lu Zheng stood up and said.
“Baiyun Temple? Da Jing Dynasty?” Qingyang True Person’s eyes flashed, “Hu Madam’s maternal family?”
Lu Zheng could not help but smile, “More or less, my wife is considered Hu Madam’s younger sister, I taught Xiao Zhou a few tricks of the trade.”
“So it is Land young master and Liu girl, I have heard Hu brother mention the two of you many times, saying the two save the world and heal the people, moreover teach with method, this old Daoist has long admired your names!” Qingyang True Person cupped his hands and said.
The next moment, Qingyang True Person’s eyes suddenly lit up, as he asked, “Since Land Gongzi has arrived, the wine served at today’s banquet must surely be Wuliangye?”
Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan exchanged a glance, only then believing that Qingyang True Person and Hu Yijun family’s relationship was indeed not bad.
Lu Zheng could not help but nod and smile, “Wuliangye is quite difficult to brew, each table only has ten jin.”
Modern liquor was one of Lu Zheng’s trump cards, of course it was impossible to supply infinitely, Lu Zheng front and back added up had given less than two hundred jin to Hu Yijun.
Those who could beg for Wuliangye to drink from Hu Yijun were not many!
This time Lu Zheng came to the door, proactively proposing to use two hundred jin of wine as the grand hall banquet wine, which made Hu Yijun overjoyed, thanking repeatedly, sufficient to let him greatly increase face in front of fellow Daoists.
“Enough! Enough!” Qingyang True Person upon hearing each table had ten jin of wine, was already satisfied stroking his beard repeatedly, “You do not know, that surnamed Hu is very stingy, last time he invited me and the old monkey, three people only divided one jin of wine!”
“Old monkey?” Lu Zheng blinked, “Is it not said that monkey demons are most skilled at brewing monkey wine?”
Qingyang True Person could not help but purse his lips, “What monkey wine, it is just blindly brewed, with a bit of fruit wine fragrance and spiritual energy, but not as satisfying as Wuliangye.”
“Alright then…”
Qingyang True Person had profound cultivation, long past the stage of increasing cultivation with ordinary spiritual wine, unless it was top-grade spiritual fruit spiritual wine, otherwise it was not as enjoyable as the taste for the mouth and belly.
This was also the reason why those days, that old beggar also looked upon Lu Zheng with favour.
Here, Qingyang True Person had just sat down, preparing to chat up some rapport with Lu Zheng, to see if he could get some more wine after the banquet.
There, another streak of golden light flashed across the horizon, the light shining into the mountainside, with the trailing light slowly dispersing, revealing men and women, big and small, more than twenty figures.
Qingyang True Person could not help but slap the table, “This old monkey, bringing so many people to eat at the banquet, truly shameless!”
“Hahaha, old Du, I just have many wives and many children, you envy to no avail, such a big family, it is also not good to favour one over another, simply brought them all.”
A teasing voice responded, not avoiding others.
“Hu old brother, wait a bit let my family’s several kids perform somersaults, to liven things up for everyone!”
“Then I will not stand on ceremony, see if it can surpass the seven thousand somersaults you flipped last time after losing the wine bet.” Hu Yijun smiled.
“Rest assured, my dad is old and gets dizzy easily, this time I will flip ten thousand in a row!”
“You this child, do you know how to speak, your dad is standing right here!”
“Hahaha, please come inside!”
Du Sheng sent the more than a dozen children to find their own tables on the square to sit, while he himself brought five women into the grand hall.
“Fake Taoist, you arrived quite fast!” Du Sheng said to Qingyang True Person, then turned to Lu Zheng and the other, “Du Sheng of Molan Mountain, greetings to the two of you, you two are precisely Land Gongzi and Liu girl?”
“Indeed!” Lu Zheng pulled Liu Qingyan along, and also greeted this monkey demon great power.
After mutual salutes, Du Sheng sent his own wife to another table, while he himself sat at the first row table, chatting casually with everyone.
