Chapter Fifty-One: As Husband and Wife

  "Fang Xin, you're here to report too, right?"

  "Not bad, after seeing you once, I was pulled over to be a laborer." Fang Xin stood up with his hands in his sleeves.

  "Hehe, we ask you to do some small things, and you're already complaining. Go ahead and report it, after you're done, I'll treat you to dinner, how's that?" Hu Zhenzhu seemed to have an idea, saying.

  "Then I won't have to invite you, I'll invite you instead. However, I promised Mei Changtian that we would go to the Chenghuang Temple today, they are preparing the yellow register, will you go?"

  As soon as this sentence came out, Hu Zhenzhu, who was originally smiling, suddenly shook and her face turned pale.

  Xia Yu's eyes turned icy as she shot Fang Xin a glance. Everyone knew that Hu Zhenzhu had been close to Mei Changtian for some time, but no matter how hard they thought about it, they couldn't understand why Mei Changtian still chose Li Mei in the end.

  In terms of family background, appearance, temperament, and talent, Hu Zhenzhu is superior in all aspects. Is it just a coincidence that Mei Changsu has the surname Mei, while Li Mei also has the character "Mei"?

  "What's wrong, where can't I go?"

  Bu Xiaoyu pulled at her clothes and said: "Alright, you're paying today. I want to go to the Peacock Restaurant to try their three styles six flavors banquet!"

  After sizing her up for a moment, Fang Xin knew she was struggling to keep up, so he smiled: "Alright, let's make it quick and easy for you. The report is simple, just follow me and help me out. We should be done quickly. It's already 9:30 now, and if we hurry, we can still make it in time for lunch. I have things to do this afternoon!"

  The report was indeed a very simple matter, with the help of two people, it was completed in ten minutes. Holding the new book with commemorative significance, the three of them went out and arrived at the school gate. As expected, they saw Mei Changtian waiting there, who was also calm and composed. When he saw Fang Xin coming over, he didn't say a word about the long wait.

  But then he saw the two girls behind him, especially Hu Zhenzhu. His eyes dimmed for a moment, but he immediately returned to normal.

  Li Mei said discontentedly: "Oh dear, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, we've been waiting for a long time."

  "Sorry, I'm busy today. I brought two friends along, so let's just take a taxi there. After we sign the guestbook, I'll treat you all to Peacock Pavilion as an apology, how about that?" Fang Xin said, of course not holding it against her.

  Peacock Building is considered one of the top restaurants in the city. Four-star, although food is cheap now, but also with a thousand yuan as the lowest point, making ordinary people look at it with trepidation.

  Li Mei suddenly said with delight: "This is more like it."

  Mei Changtian was a bit embarrassed, he wanted to say something, seeing his girlfriend happy, but couldn't say it.

  At this time, the raindrops are connected together like a big net, hanging in front of the door. The gentle breeze blows over and brings the rain air to face it. Although the rain is not big yet, on the streets, it still gathers into small streams. And flowed down from the sewer.

  Fang Xing held an umbrella. He hailed a taxi and intentionally left the two girls behind. It has to be said, his conscience was seriously bad.

  The rain was like fog, drizzling down on the umbrella in a continuous thread. Fang Xin couldn't see any taxis for a while, but then he heard a voice behind him. He turned around to find Hu Zhenzhu, her teeth clenched: "Fang Xin, tell me, is this intentional?"

  "What's intentional?" Fang Xin didn't understand, but his eyes were filled with amusement.

  "Hmph, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?" The girl's slightly angry expression was actually quite lovely. As Fang Xin looked at her like that, she who had originally been ready to scold him suddenly felt a little embarrassed. But then, she became even angrier."

  At this time, the spring rain was like cow hair, like flower needles, like fine silk, fluttering and swaying. Not far away, a taxi stopped by, seemingly having found its customer.

  "Go to Chenghuang Temple." This car is quite large, with plenty of room for five people. As soon as they got in the car, Fang Xin said.

  The raindrops hit the glass, initially like a string of crystal clear pearls, but soon became a flowing stream. It seems that the rain is getting heavier and heavier. As it passes by, there are very few people on the streets now.

  The driver responded with a sound, and the car drove out. The rain hit the front with a loud noise, and from the glass, looking outward, the car, houses, and streets all splashed up a layer of white fog.

  Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down, as if it had opened the way. In an instant, strong winds howled and dark clouds filled the sky. Raindrops were as big as beans, followed by one flash of lightning after another.

  Li Mei felt a bit uneasy, losing interest in the conversation, and leaned against her boyfriend's body. "I don't know how we'll get to Chengtian Temple with such heavy rain." Xia Yu Bing brushed away a strand of hair, and just this small action revealed her feminine charm and allure, while Li Mei was uneasy again.

  Among the three girls present, in terms of beauty, Xia Yubing can be considered first, and Hu Zhenzhu second. No matter what, Li Mei is always third, which makes her feel somewhat uneasy.

  Upon arriving at the City Guardian Temple, it should be rainless. Fang Xin casually said, and after finishing his sentence, he himself was startled, because he felt that indeed it would be so, without even using the Jade Like Thought to predict a fragment.

  He was lost in thought, looking forward to the moment he arrived at the Cheng Huang Temple.

  As expected, when we were halfway there, the rain stopped, and in no time, the morning sun even shone brightly down on us. Thanks to a good drainage system, the road surface was dry again in just ten minutes.

  "You're absolutely right!" The car stopped in front of the Chenghuang Temple, and Hu Zhenzhu gave him a white eye, got out of the car, and at this time, there were crowded people coming and going on the street.

  Fang Xin didn't say a word, but just now, that one sentence had caused his heart to beat faster.

  Chenghuang Temple, following the succession of Houtu's god, has been thriving for nearly 2,000 years since the Tang Dynasty. The garden architecture is centered around the temple, surrounded by pavilions, platforms, towers and kiosks. The main hall is dedicated to the City God, but the altar in front of the god also represents Houtu.

  Entering the gate, the old trees in the courtyard are lush and green, and along the long corridor to the main hall. At this time, people come and go, although not crowded, it's also bustling. When it's my turn, I lit a stick of incense and prayed silently for a moment.

  After getting up, Mei Changtian did not leave, he took out a red flower and also took out a red envelope.

  Everyone knew this custom, and suddenly all the people on the scene applauded. The staff in the temple also smiled and came forward: "Congratulations! Are you two going to register for marriage?"

  "That's right."

  "Then go to the back hall. We'll make arrangements."

  Although she had been mentally prepared, Hu Zhenzhu's face turned pale and bloodless when she saw this scene, her teeth biting into her lip. This ritual was also practiced by regular families, meaning that in the name of God, under the witness of the earth, they would register and merge as husband and wife, from then on sharing weal and woe, connected by a common breath, hand in hand until old age.

  The key is. Really can combine the husband and wife's fortune together, it is the oldest and most binding kind of wedding ceremony, of course, divorce is not impossible, but relatively rare, if there is no great confidence. Why seek testimony before God, seek combined fortune.

  Once broken, both will suffer losses in fortune and longevity.

  Fang Xin and Xia Yu Bing couldn't help but feel a pang, she thought she could ignore it, but in reality, seeing this scene, her heart was like a knife twisting - however. Long pain is not as good as short pain. This is also the reason why Xia Yu Bing didn't stop him.

  At this time, Li Mei was radiant and confident. With a man who truly loved her, she was suddenly filled with self-assurance, no longer afraid of other women. In that instant, she seemed to have matured from a girl into a woman. She followed behind the clergyman, following her own husband, with a dignified demeanor.

  Watching the two turn to the back hall, Xia Yu Bing pulled and Hu Zhen Zhu barely smiled, making way for those who came up to offer incense behind her, saying: "I thought I could hold on, didn't expect it to hurt so much."

  "Never mind, Pearl." Xia Yu Bing stopped her from continuing to speak and pulled her outside. Once they were outside, Hu Zhen Zhu's tears flowed down like beans, she didn't hold back either, and cried freely here.

  Fang Xin looked far away, all living beings are suffering, divided into two kinds: sentient and non-sentient.

  In matters of the heart, especially in situations like this, it's impossible to avoid hurting someone. There can only be one love, and giving that love to one person means someone else will inevitably get hurt. It's just an unavoidable fact.

  In Fang Xin's view, this kind of sentimental sorrow is indeed the essence of life. A person who doesn't understand love, or hasn't even experienced it, what a pale and dull life that would be!

  Secondly, all living beings are suffering because they are all small and powerless to resist the various worldly phenomena. However, as their strength grows, they can reduce their suffering. For example, in human life, hunger, labor, and cold have tormented humans for millions of years, but now these problems have been solved and no longer cause suffering.

  As for the patient, although it has not been completely solved now, more than half of it has been solved.

  A matter of life and death, hundreds of millions of people in the empire are silently pursuing it.

  Fang Xin walked in the forest of Lingta, a tower was divided into dozens of grids, each grid can hold two urns, and there were copper plates with names and main deeds, relatives could come to worship on festivals, and here there are 12,000 Lingta.

  Open your eyes, in the spiritual eye, a red light envelops the whole scene. This is the divine light of the City God, and here in this tower, you can rest assured that you will not be disturbed by evil spirits. Some spirit boxes have soul lights, some are no longer there.

  At this scene and in this atmosphere, the thin fog produced by the water vapor had not yet dispersed. Fang Xin walked step by step, and suddenly, in the forest of spirit towers, he involuntarily said: "You should believe that there is a future, the past should be buried, in the years of life one must strive hard, always with a sincere heart to pray to heaven!"

  As long as one is human, they should positively believe that the future will be beautiful. The past, whether glorious or painful, must be let go of. When alive, one should work hard and sincerely pray for things that cannot be controlled.

  At this thought, the yin spirit inside the body emits great light and brilliance, shining brightly in all directions with a fierce golden light. The light of Hou Tu comes uninvited, filling everything to the brim, overflowing everywhere. Ordinary people may only feel a brief flash, but those who are enlightened sense the radiance and brightness of this light. At this moment, those who offer incense or pray for the deceased feel their bodies purified.

  Originally heartbroken and crying, Hu Zhenzhu stopped her tears. This feeling made her feel uncomfortable, but it was indeed the case. She wiped away her tears, with a mixture of laughter and tears, and looked at Xia Yubing. Xia Yubing's cultivation was higher than hers, and she was naturally more sensitive. Her mouth was half open, and she stared blankly.

  Fang Xin had already understood that if he were to be killed at this moment, the yin god would have been acknowledged and could take on a divine role. Of course, this divine role was still far from the gods in legends, but it was a starting point, and all of this was the result of his own actions.

  Just as the radiance gradually dissipated, a middle-aged priest walked over from afar, slightly bowing: "Fellow practitioner, the Temple's Chief Priest has an invitation, please come to the rear hall for a chat, and follow me."

  Saying that, Xiaxia led the way forward, Fang Xin knew he had caused some trouble and just smiled, following along. The two girls looked at each other in dismay, then also followed after them.

  The rear hall is where the monks live, separating the hustle and bustle outside. There are no tourists here, all the way to a rear hall through corridors and pavilions.

  "Please come in and sit down, fellow practitioner!" As expected, the person facing him was the old man he had met before. The old man looked at him with surprise, and after a long while, said: "So it's you again, your progress is remarkable in such a short time."

  Fang Xin smiled and said: "Only three hundred merits."

  "Excellent! Indeed, you have great wisdom and talent. If not for this occasion, I would let you take charge. What do you think?"

  "Alright, I'll go change into formal attire first to show respect." Fang Xin then turned around and greeted the two people who were staring at him in shock.

  Although at this time, Fang Xin didn't use the ceremony, he could also bring the light of Hou Tu to witness and register together. However, since it's not necessary or unnecessary, why bother standing out alone? Thus, he entered the inner chamber, and after a moment, came out dressed.

  Waiting for it to come out, Yu Xing Guan, Cheng En Yi, Fa Xin Huan, dignified and out, with a calm and composed demeanor, rising above the dust.

  He bowed and worshiped, white light fell down with him, Fang Xin sat upright in the white light, only to ask.

  "Mei Changtian, do you love Li Mei?"

  "Love!" It was then that Mei Changtian suddenly came to his senses. As soon as this sentence left his lips, a white light poured down on him, clearly a true intention had been expressed.

  He really loved her.

  "Li Mei, do you love Meichang Tian?"

  "I love you too!" Li Mei replied, with a similar white glow appearing, she also loved him.

  "Later, the earth witnesses the six paths, practicing great compassion and great kindness. Great compassion gives rise to life and death, and great kindness is for love's sake. Today, in the name of love, the earth bears witness that you two are married, sharing a common breath, united in honor and shame, cooperating with each other, and the ceremony is complete!"

  One question and one answer, so simple, yet such a response. In the midst of everyone's gaze, the two exchanged vows, and in an instant, their fortunes and destinies merged into one, becoming husband and wife.
