Chapter One: Marriage

Being struck by golden raindrops felt as if one were being scorched by fierce flames, instantly eliciting a piercing scream of agony

This is clearly a form of supernatural power

Along the way, many people smiled and offered their blessings

Outside the courtyard walls, under the magnificent gatehouse, shadows of people flit about, and guests are numerous, creating a scene of great liveliness

In the center of the hall sat a woman dressed in a red wedding gown embroidered with golden phoenixes, her face covered by a veil

You should be grateful that I am not here to kill today

A team suddenly emerged from the overgrown and rugged mountain path

All is silent

Suddenly, a chilling and bone-piercing cold wind swept through the courtyard, as if it intended to disperse one's three souls and seven spirits

The groom, dressed in festive attire, was dragged by two ugly old women and thrown in front of Song Xiao with a fierce expression.

The old man looked at Song Xiao and gently raised his eyebrows: "Is it for money?"

As I was leaving the hospital, I noticed a figure standing in the shadow of an old locust tree at the entrance.

If you leave now, then it is yours

Take it back

On each tall gilded candlestick, there are bright red candles inserted, and the candlelight illuminates the room as bright as day

Having walked a great distance, when I turn back to look, where are the brightly lit ancient architectural complexes?

The person holding the umbrella slightly raised the handle, revealing a pair of sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, along with a young and handsome face

The gaze has also become cold and dangerous

The sharp voice of a woman, filled with indignation, once again echoed through the room

Song Xiao looked at the elderly man with the surname Han, waiting for his response

The fragrance is pervasive

Young people should not

The crowd at the entrance immediately gathered around with great excitement, helping the listless young man down from the horse

A sharp female voice came from inside, filled with intense anger

After speaking, he turned around and left

broke the silence

After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Are you perhaps... from the heavenly realm?"

Those who possessed the ability to communicate with the underworld had encountered many during their lifetime, and many of them bore the title of master.

However, it is unheard of for a young person like him to intrude into his daughter's ghost marriage ceremony in the dead of night with a living body, not only being able to see them but also communicating with them without any obstacles

He waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Release the person, and let this matter be settled."

Song Xiaoping looked calmly at the old man and slowly said, "You truly have high hopes for this person, but let us speak of it again a hundred years from now."

A light cough first echoed in the hall, followed by a voice that sounded somewhat aged.

Supporting each other, they walked through the courtyard filled with guests, heading towards the main room directly facing the courtyard entrance

Everyone in the courtyard looked at Song Xiao with cold eyes. Although no one said anything more, the deep resentment of not having been able to enjoy the feast was clearly written on their faces

A group of people is chattering loudly, and the air is filled with a joyful and festive atmosphere

Clang

The cause and effect must be clearly explained to them

Song Xiao looked at him and said, "Old man, stop talking nonsense. Before a major mistake is made, quickly and decisively release the person."

The courtyard suddenly fell silent

Song Xiao looked at him and said, "The separation of yin and yang, the distinction between life and death, is such a simple principle that you must understand. Why must you force it?"

The people in the courtyard immediately became somewhat restless

Stop there

"Be quiet!" the old man scolded, then turned to Song Xiao: "A gentleman should help others achieve their goals."

"My son-in-law, do you think you can just take it back? Who do you think you are?"

I am hungry!

I am merely fulfilling a request to bring someone back. I hope my dear friends can extend a little favor to me and make this convenient.

Night

This person ultimately still instills a sense of apprehension in him, and he chooses to endure for the time being

Tick-tock, tick-tock

Time seems to have come to a standstill at this moment

with a stiff smile

The one leading the horse is a young boy, with a pale face adorned with two striking patches of blush.

He is not without a foundation either

Both comical and bizarre

People dressed in costumes from different eras, some standing and some sitting, smoking pipes with cigarettes in their mouths, are engaged in lively conversation and laughter, creating a delightful atmosphere

The footsteps are not heavy, yet they seem to disturb the people here

Everyone in the courtyard remained as if they had been pressed on the pause button, completely motionless

The people around, dressed in costumes from different eras, were startled and retreated.

Raindrops fall rhythmically on the umbrella canopy

A group of women chattered and laughed around, helping the bride to her feet, standing side by side with the young man who had been brought in.

At this moment, an elderly man walked out from the main hall

Song Xiao paid no attention, holding an umbrella in one hand and effortlessly carrying the young man in the other, quickly departing.

The old man spoke these words, yet his heart was far from calm

In the spacious courtyard, many tables are arranged, and along the wall, a row of stoves is set up, where a group of chefs wearing white hats are diligently stirring with their spatulas.

Although it is incredible, my heart is filled with shock

The sounds of insects, birds, and frogs are all absent

There are long robes and gowns, as well as suits and leather shoes

The destination of this team is located halfway up the mountain, where a group of ancient buildings is situated

The underworld has already fallen into chaos, and the heavenly realm is merely struggling to survive. What gives you the audacity to be so arrogant

Replace those meddling onmyoji with a gust of sinister wind, and it will be essentially resolved

Step, step, step

The old man took a deep breath and said, "You have also seen the grand scene today, so festive. If you take someone away, where will my old face be placed?"

"Guests are welcome. Friends may stay for a drink after the couple has tied the knot. Please do not mind the simple wine and vegetarian dishes."

You would do well to investigate whose territory this is before acting so recklessly

After the worship, let us quickly commence the banquet

Even the cooks who were stir-frying could not help but turn their heads to look at Song Xiao

At that moment, a sudden sound of footsteps came from outside

At this moment, others also began to speak up

My heart is filled with shock

Raindrops slide down the umbrella canopy

That sharp female voice said: "Marriage is a serious matter, how can it be treated as a child's play?"

There were even generals clad in tattered armor, with swords hanging at their waists

However, continuing to disguise themselves seemed pointless, so they all "came to life".

The old man frowned, and before he could speak, the woman shouted loudly: "Why waste words with him, just a mere individual..."

Even now, even if I do not intervene today, are you not afraid of divine retribution

Awaiting the commencement of the banquet

Song Xiao calmly glanced at the tall man, then turned towards the main hall.

The old man remained silent, his gaze coldly scrutinizing Song Xiao, who was holding the black umbrella, as he contemplated the pros and cons in his mind

They either looked on with curiosity or disdain at the uninvited guest holding the black umbrella

Soon, this peculiar wedding procession arrived at the entrance of the courtyard

Only after death does one realize that the world is far from what was imagined during life

Until this moment, the young man remains in a daze, completely unaware that he has walked through the gates of the underworld.

Where is there a need for such a somewhat humble discussion

Unable to see the appearance clearly, it seems as though they are staring at him, yet there are no unnecessary actions.

"Marriage between a man and a woman is based on mutual consent."

Song Xiao reached out to take it and nodded to the old man, saying "Thank you"

With a serious gaze fixed on the gradually fading golden light surrounding Song Xiao, he said in a deep voice: "My friend, it is better to dismantle ten temples than to destroy a single marriage. Are you sure you want to meddle... and take someone away?"

Even if this uninvited guest truly comes from the heavenly realm, what of it

There are actually ancient people dressed in pre-Qin attire, with their hair styled in topknots

Song Xiao looked up at the pitch-black night sky

The other party barged in on his daughter's joyous day, intending to disrupt the wedding.

Hurry and hold the wedding ceremony

barren mountain

Pointing to Song Xiao

At that moment, a somewhat weak voice suddenly came from the main room: "Father, never mind, he is right. The realms of yin and yang are separated, and life and death are distinct. Taking away a person's lifespan indeed goes against the will of heaven. Even if he is willing, the daughter does not wish to marry anymore"

At this moment, someone in the courtyard could not help but coldly remarked: "What if you come from the Heavenly Court? Do you know whose territory this is? Young man, do not be too impetuous"

The old man's face displayed a fluctuating expression, and the notion of divine retribution was mere nonsense; what truly made him apprehensive was the person himself

You old rascal, how dare you hide your stash of money? Tell me, is it for some little vixen?

In front are two rows of young girls in colorful garments holding lanterns, with the red lanterns emitting a faint glow

Immediately afterwards, a faint murmuring voice came from inside: "But he is a human!"

Today you have tied this karmic bond, be cautious of the repercussions falling upon your own family

The person before me is definitely not simple

Every drop of rain bursts forth with a brilliant golden light

A somewhat aged voice softly reprimanded.

No matter how many words are spoken, whether in life or death, it is all about maintaining face

The general, clad in tattered armor, could not help but draw the sword at his waist

At this moment, those guests seemed to understand that this "person" was coming for them and could see them

A young man is sitting right away, dressed in a bright red celebratory outfit, yet his head is drooping as if he is asleep

The ominous wind vanished without a trace

The brilliance is blinding.

The buildings are arranged in a neat and orderly manner, illuminated by bright lights

Song Xiao looked at him and said, "Forcibly abducting someone whose life has not yet expired to make them a son-in-law is not the act of a gentleman"

The air is humid and sultry, as if a storm is brewing.

With the sound of footsteps, a tall figure walked in from outside, holding a black umbrella

I, Han Xing, am a person of my word, and my promises are as solid as gold

Clearly, there is only a patch of overgrown grass on the grave and a few solitary old trees

The beautiful maidservants gracefully presented an array of delicacies, moving like flowing clouds and flowing water, continuously serving dishes like butterflies among flowers

The sound of dripping falls upon the ground paved with blue stones

Such a grand residence must belong to a person of considerable status and reputation. If they were to choose a son-in-law, there would surely be many suitors. Why resort to such coercive measures?

Someone shouted loudly in the yard

In an instant, a brilliant golden light burst forth from Song Xiao's body

Finally, accompanied by a lively band, the sound of gongs and drums resounded, while the suona played melodiously

Looking at the person holding the black umbrella with a face full of terror

Dressed in a well-fitted navy blue suit, with a white shirt underneath and a tie, his head of silver hair is meticulously styled

The blade gleams like snow, its cold light flickering

"I do not boast, but in the future, you will surely find a use for me, Han. At that time, feel free to speak up."

Good things do not require excessive effort, be quicker, be quicker

The sound of insects and frogs rose and fell all around.

Upon closer inspection, the attire of this group of guests is quite mismatched

Song Xiao let out a shout, and with a gentle shake of the black umbrella in his hand, a multitude of raindrops scattered in all directions

Looking around, he said with a smile, "There are quite a few people here"

The originally bustling and lively scene fell silent in an instant, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard

Song Xiao held the umbrella, not responding immediately, but instead took a keen interest in observing the guests in the courtyard.

The master once said that such situations are the most complex, and one must handle them with utmost care and caution

The people in the courtyard immediately turned pale with fear and scattered in all directions to avoid danger

Friend, I advise you to calm down, mhetushucom.com, do not seek trouble for yourself, you wouldn't want to see blood flowing like a river here, would you

Behind, many people were crowding around a magnificent tall horse

Song Xiaoxun turned to look in the direction of the voice. The speaker was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in ancient official robes and wearing an official hat, with a very imposing expression.

In the dark clouds, it seems as if there are enormous mountains hidden within them

Making friends is not a problem, but one must have principles in life and work. I will not befriend someone like you who easily takes away others' lives

The old man had a serious expression, exuding an aura of authority without anger

Especially when his sharp-tongued and extremely irritable partner just now unleashed a cold wind to attack this person, the golden light radiating from the opponent made him feel even more apprehensive

If one simply accepts it this way, how can the mind attain clarity?

A bright red flower was still pinned to his chest, with the words "Father-in-law" written on the hanging red ribbon

In the main hall

Like a blazing sun

Let alone that among the guests there is his ancestor, a general who killed countless people in his lifetime; a single strike could cleave your soul in two

You want to fight, do you? Do you still dare to threaten me? Do you think dying is something impressive? Do you want to die again?

One may not believe while alive, but at this moment, are you not aware that there are deities three feet above your head, and yet you still dare to act recklessly

Furthermore, I am not meddling in others' affairs by taking people's money to help them avert disasters

You are capable of traversing both the realms of yin and yang, and you are indeed a person of great ability. Why not become friends with everyone

The old man glanced at the disheveled guests in the courtyard and fell silent with a grim expression.

The morning breeze swept in with a gentle force

The people in the courtyard increasingly spoke nonsense, with some even resorting to mental energy, their voices booming like thunder, attempting to influence Song Xiao's mind

Faintly discernible

Finally, heaved a sigh: "It is what it is!"

Various miraculous manifestations evoke a sense of awe that one cannot help but feel

A series of crisp "clap" sounds echoed.

Shut up

Enough

I have an apartment outside, and there are a few small yellow fish in the safe

A moment

Men and women of all ages, with various hairstyles, dressed in a haphazard manner

Song Xiao cast a cold gaze at those people

Song Xiao looked inside and slowly said: "I hope for your understanding regarding my uninvited visit"
