Chapter 006: Reunion of Heart and Liver
Stepping forward, I supported Yao Ji and smiled, saying: "Indeed, Aunt Yao, let us go in first so as not to miss the joyous occasion of my brother. Three Holy Mothers, Mr. Liu, please assist Lord Zhao in finishing the arrangements here, and come quickly!"
The injury of the Celestial Dog has been delayed for too long and cannot be postponed any further
He struggled repeatedly, but how could he break free? Suddenly, a wave of dizziness struck him, and he fainted softly to the ground
And when she finally came to a stop, casting a faint glance at him, his heart tightened unexpectedly, and then it felt as if it were about to shatter from the pain.
Although pressed to the ground with a shoe stuffed in its mouth, its distinctive appearance with slender eyebrows, a prominent nose, and long limbs remains unforgettable.
The Celestial Dog struggled desperately, shouting: "San Sheng Mu, you cannot... ... Master he... ..."
Liu Yanchang shifted his thoughts, whispered a few words to the Three Holy Mothers, and raised his voice, saying: "Chief Qin, Chief Qin!"
Chief Qin nodded repeatedly in agreement
At that moment, a broad palm rested on her shoulder. Liu Yanchang approached, gently embracing her, and said with concern: "Do not think too much, Xiao Lian, this has nothing to do with you or me; everything is entirely the result of his own making!"
Mother, there is truly nothing to worry about
Turning around, he was about to charge at the scar-faced man, but was held back by Boss Kang with one hand
As soon as Chen Xiang returned to the hall, he realized that his mother was at a loss due to Yang Jian, so he pulled aside Old Kang, who had come to attend the wedding of Long Ba, and quietly spoke to him.
Liu Yanchang pointed at Yang Jian and said: "This person resembles an old friend of mine. Out of affection for the house, I cannot bear to see him in such a destitute state. Chief Qin, I trouble you to find a place for him to stay temporarily."
The Three Holy Mothers said, feeling anxious in her heart, as she looked towards the Fourth Princess and others for help
The scarred man, who had been drinking on the side, noticed the peculiar expressions of the Three Holy Mothers and the others. He assumed they were still somewhat annoyed. Zhao, the great benefactor, was always a major patron in his territory, and it was imperative not to offend him. Therefore, he stepped forward again and pointed at Yang Jian, saying: "My lord and lady, there is no need to let this little fellow ruin your good mood. Rest assured, if I do not properly teach him a lesson today, I would be too ashamed to face anyone myself"
He rushed in front of the scar-faced man and threw a heavy punch.
The scar-faced man came over after hearing the call of the woman in the green dress. Seeing Yang Jian staring intently at a beautiful woman dressed in luxurious attire, he was instantly filled with rage. He stepped forward and delivered several slaps, shouting: "Damn it, I knew you, this sickly fool, would be looking for trouble!"
With a swift turn, a kick landed on Yang Jian, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground
When the pain reaches its peak, it is likely that it will no longer hurt, right? The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, slowly revealing a hint of a smile, yet the smile was filled with desolation, so desolate that there was not a trace of vitality left.
With the lively and melodious rhythm of the suona, the high-pitched voice of the officiant echoed from the hall: "The auspicious time has arrived, the bride and groom are about to bow in the wedding ceremony..."
His gaze was solely fixed on the silent and uncommunicative Three Holy Mothers
He slowly closed his eyes, still wearing a meaningful smile, solitary, yet without a trace of regret
The scar-faced man placed his hands on his hips and said: "Madam Xie, your kindness is appreciated, but every household has its own rules. I cannot tolerate such unruly behavior under my command. Today, I will set the household rules straight myself"
The courtyard remains exceptionally lively and festive
The Qin surname steward, who was squeezed among the crowd to watch the excitement, hurriedly stepped out.
Kang Laoda rushed over to separate the two, shouting: "Xiao Tianquan, are you out of your mind?"
She looked at the smile at the corner of Yang Jian's mouth, noticing that he was still watching the distant figure of Yao Ji leave. Her heart softened slightly, and only then did she realize that her second brother no longer possessed the spirited brilliance she remembered. His face was pale, as if he could vanish at any moment, leaving her momentarily stunned and lost in thought.
Kang Laoda, holding the Howling Celestial Dog, nodded to the Three Holy Mothers and others, saying: "I, Kang, must take my leave first"
Then, Master Kang, please take him away and find a way to make him forget me
The young man also said: "Father, Mother, Aunt Chang'e, Fourth Aunt, Master Zhao is inviting you all to come in!"
He received a blow from Xiaoyu, losing all his magical power. Over the past few months, he has endured great hardships while taking care of Yang Jian. Yesterday, he lost too much blood, and now his emotions are in turmoil, ultimately unable to hold on any longer
The scar-faced man repeatedly bowed and said: "No, no, let us share in the joy together; you are magnanimous. How about this, I will have him bow and apologize to all of you? Please, esteemed sirs, do not hold my shortcomings against me."
As my gaze fell upon the surrounding crowd, I lost the courage to utter the remaining words, and could only say: "You... don't hit him anymore, he is ill, just let it go!"
Looking down, he saw that he was still quietly gazing at the Three Holy Mothers, and his anger grew even more, prompting him to kick down several times.
Compared to the frail figure crushed under Mount Hua, the current San Sheng Mu has regained her previous calm and elegance; this is the San Mei he is familiar with. A hint of a smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of Yang Jian's mouth, momentarily causing him to forget all the pain and embarrassment.
Then, Sanmei, take good care of our mother and forget that you ever had a brother like me. If that is the only choice you have to find peace.
Upon closer inspection, it was not an object at all, but rather those few beggars who were holding down the Howling Celestial Dog.
The scar-faced man angrily said: "What are you pretending to be dead for? Go, go and apologize to the ladies and admit your mistake!"
The woman in the green dress, who had originally screamed, said sharply: "Is it such a great merit to take advantage of others? How do you conduct your affairs? Bringing in such people!"
He angrily said: "Look at what you have done to the Howling Celestial Dog. This outcome is what you deserve, yet you show no remorse and have dragged down such a loyal and righteous man!"
Seeing that Chen Xiang's expression was not right, Princess Long Si on one side quickly understood the situation.
For him, that might be the best form of liberation
Upon hearing Liu Yanchang's remarks, a loose immortal was the first to raise his thumb and praised, "Mr. Liu truly has a broad mind and treats others with kindness. To respond to such shameless individuals with virtue is indeed commendable; the Three Holy Mothers have an excellent eye for character!"
He knew that this couple had a significant background and a deep connection with the new son-in-law, so he held them in the utmost respect and waited quietly for their instructions
The Celestial Dog, both furious and enraged, said: "What did you say?"
Among the crowd, all the celestial beings have recognized this disheveled beggar as the once-mighty Judicial Deity Erlang Shen, and they naturally understand the entangled grievances of this family
Suddenly, everything went dark, and after a long while, I finally saw the scar-faced man who had taken away the howling dog standing in front of me with his hands on his hips, spitting and scolding about something.
An increasing number of onlookers gathered, while several beggars from https://www.hetushu.com firmly held back the approaching Howling Dog.
Yet he could not help but glance at the Hound of the Baskervilles in Boss Kang's arms, revealing a look of melancholy
A glance to the side unexpectedly startled me
Kang Laoda held him in his arms and quickly channeled his true energy to protect his heart meridian, only to feel that this dog was extremely weak, having been battered all over.
He silently answered in his heart
He did not expect any reaction from her when she saw him. At that time, facing the divine axe of Chenxiang with a heart set on certain death in Kunlun, he had resolved never to see this little sister, whom he had devoted everything to protect, again. He only hoped that she could still be as happy as she once was
The remaining immortals also praised and echoed in agreement
Chen Xiang, first help Grandma inside to rest
Now, with the resurrection of Aunt Si and the rebirth of Dingxiang, the family is harmonious and joyful, and he is convinced that he will never have any further entanglements with this person
The Three Holy Mothers let out a low cry, almost rushing forward, but ultimately held back and shouted: "No, don't hit him!"
Another immortal looked at Yang Jian and shook his head, saying: "To have fallen to such a state and still cling to life is truly shameless. No wonder that back then, in pursuit of power, one would extinguish humanity and become worse than beasts."
Thus, the excitement and joy I felt upon first meeting her gradually faded away, yet I no longer experienced any profound sadness or disappointment, and even the feeling of heartache had vanished.
The number of onlookers increased significantly, starting with a few guests and servants from the Zhao residence in the front yard, followed by some distinguished guests in the hall, and finally, quite a few celestial beings who had transformed into mortals also arrived.
The scar-faced man cried out in pain, just as he was about to retaliate, when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder; the Hellhound had bitten off a chunk of flesh from his shoulder.
Two individuals made their way through the crowd, and the expression on the face of the Three Holy Mothers changed dramatically. Suddenly, she stepped forward to stop the scolding of the scar-faced man, while simultaneously blocking Yang Jian to prevent the middle-aged woman from seeing.
Yang Jian lay on the ground, yet his gaze was solely fixed on the Three Holy Mothers. He noticed her hesitating to step forward to intervene, but she looked around, seemingly afraid of losing face.
A frail middle-aged woman stepped out from the main hall, supported by a handsome young man.
In their conversation, they exchanged glances with Chenxiang, and the two assisted Yaoji back into the hall
Kang Laoda's face changed color as he said, "Do not mention that despicable person in front of Kang!"
The figure in the dark robe emanated a cold smile that was as enigmatic as ever
Chen Xiang looked at his mother with a strange expression; he had never seen her so anxious since their escape from Mount Hua
However, with just one glance, the suffering he thought had completely passed, that kind of sorrow and anger, suddenly surged back to his heart, overwhelming him and leaving him breathless
Suddenly, a sharp pain struck his cheek, accompanied by the crisp sound of a slap, leaving him momentarily stunned.
But for some reason, as the Three Holy Mothers approached him step by step, his heart gradually became more fervent and clearer
Yang Jian's heart trembled heavily; he finally shifted his gaze away from the Three Holy Mothers and anxiously searched for the owner of that voice
Liu Yanchang smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to those around him. San Sheng Mu watched as Yang Jian was taken to the backyard by the servants, feeling a sense of relief in her heart, knowing that her husband had acted with quick wit, resolving the awkward situation of her acknowledgment or denial with just a few casual words
The scar-faced man bent over and smiled at the Three Holy Mothers, saying: "I have not disciplined my subordinates strictly enough, which has startled the lady."
What the woman in the green dress said went completely unnoticed by Yang Jian
He still remembers the gentle warmth of that first encounter with this person, as light as a breeze and as soft as clouds
The scar-faced man had more to say, but suddenly there were several loud thuds as a few massive objects came crashing down, immediately pinning him to the ground
Chang'e, Princess Long Si, and Liu Yanchang also approached upon hearing the sound. Chang'e's face showed a look of reluctance, Liu Yanchang hesitated for a moment, just as he was about to speak out to stop it, Long Si shook her head, signaling him not to say anything for the time being
At that time, such dreams were his only solace
The consciousness becomes increasingly chaotic and vague, yet there is only one thought that is crystal clear: "Mother, at last... this time, I have truly succeeded..."
The Three Holy Mothers, heed the advice of Kang: do not concern yourself with such a petty person as Yang Jian; life and death are determined by fate, let it be!
The woman's high-pitched voice attracted a multitude of onlookers, yet he remained oblivious to it.
Mother
Yang Jian's face was devoid of expression; ever since he met Yao Ji just now, he had suddenly relaxed.
Long ago, that silhouette appeared in my dreams countless times, softly humming a lullaby
Some people feel a twinge of compassion, but most watch with a heart full of schadenfreude and cold indifference
He leaped up and shouted: "Who ambushed my grandfather?"
Although Lord Kang held a low opinion of Yang Jian's character, he had always admired the loyalty and righteousness of the Howling Celestial Dog, and upon hearing the news, he hurriedly came out.
You go in first, I will come in a moment
On one side, he finally saw Yang Jian on the ground. Although he had long been aware of it, he could not help but spit heavily.
It is indeed I who have tired him
However, ever since he held the clear water and witnessed this silhouette slowly turning into a pile of ashes under the scorching sun, he could no longer possess even this solitary dream that once comforted him
It is precisely because of this that the relentless pursuit and cruelty that followed made him hate this person to the core
The Cerberus, with its eyes completely red, shouted: "Kang Laoda, you fool! Are you also helping these beasts to pressure Second Master?"
Turning away, he walked out towards the crowd without even glancing at Yang Jian
The Three Holy Mothers exclaimed: "Stop hitting! He is, he is..."
The Howling Celestial Dog broke free and rushed out as if it had gone mad. Old Master Kang furrowed his brows and shouted, "Howling Celestial Dog?"
The Three Holy Mothers shuddered and said: "No!"
The Three Holy Mothers let out a sigh of relief, glanced at the crowd around her, felt troubled in her heart, and for a moment did not know what to do, only to turn around and look at Yang Jian on the ground again
The middle-aged woman smiled kindly and said, "What happened? What is wrong with this person? Lian'er, step aside, let me check his pulse."
A tall man lifted the Howling Celestial Dog from the ground, with thick eyebrows and a bushy beard, exuding an aura of righteousness; it was none other than the eldest brother Kang from the Mei Mountain brothers who had arrived
Everything around him no longer has the slightest impact on him
The Hound of Heaven? Chen Xiang almost cried out; he instinctively searched the surroundings with his gaze. Sure enough, behind his mother, he saw that figure he was all too familiar with.
Take the tattered shoe from the mouth of the Howling Dog. Seeing him in such a pitiful and emaciated state, Master Kang felt a pang of sympathy and asked, "Howling Dog, how did you end up in this situation? Who are they, and how dare they treat you this way?"
Yes, I am familiar.
Yang Jian
Pointing at Yang Jian, he began to curse loudly
But the Three Holy Mothers stood in front, and he was powerless to move, only faintly seeing a familiar and affectionate silhouette
Lian'er, the auspicious time has arrived. What are you doing here instead of going in to witness the ceremony?
Although in a state of utter disarray, there remained an air of cold pride and composure in their expression
A beggar took off his tattered shoes and stuffed them into his mouth.
