Big wedding at 65

  In this winter that is about to pass, Lin Xu has hardly done anything else. All the spare time of Ben Zun Jin Shen and his three avatars have been used to deal with these two marriages.

  Lin Xiu hesitated for so long, but now he's also opened up. Anyway, it's inevitable to make a decision sooner or later. One sheep is driven, two sheep are also released, and marrying one back is also considered a justification for the forces behind both sides. Isn't that just marriage? It's just a trivial matter, what's there to worry about? After a thousand thoughts, Lin Xiu couldn't help but start secretly complaining again. This evil old society actually has arranged marriages, how come it didn't exist on Earth a few years ago?

  Looking back on those years, when Lin Xu was in college, he secretly fell in love with an elegant and intelligent girl who liked astronomy. In order to get close to her, he pretended to be interested in astronomy too and joined the astronomy club, just wanting to find opportunities to see his dream lover more often.

  But Lin Xu's beautiful fantasy soon shattered in the face of cruel reality. The wise and beautiful woman he regarded as a goddess ultimately failed to resist the persistent pursuit of the rich second-generation young master, who sent 999 red roses and a white gold diamond ring worth 100,000 yuan for over a month, despite the cold winter weather.

  In the end, Lin Xu helplessly watched as the intelligent beauty who seemed to be above worldly desires got into a luxurious BMW 5-series with a rich young master and headed to a five-star hotel to open a room.

  To this day, when he looked back on that bittersweet past, Lin Xu suddenly realized that he had a feeling of detachment from it all. Was it really just something that happened a few years ago? The painful memories that once tore his heart apart were now like a distant landscape on the horizon, and although there was still some bitterness in his heart when he recalled them, he could no longer find that deep-seated pain.

  At that time, Lin Xu was in extreme pain and determined that it was the woman who had fallen into depravity and was not worthy of his affection.

  After the passage of time, Lin Xu looked back and re-examined past events. Perhaps due to increased life experience and broadened personal horizons, he had a brand new understanding of this matter.

  An old saying goes: a poor couple has a hundred worries, these words are truly frightening.

  Lin Xu also saw a report on the internet, where a father knelt down and begged the hospital to treat his daughter who was suffering from a terminal illness. What would the poor girl's mother think at that moment? Due to lack of money, they could only watch their flesh and blood slowly walk towards death, that tender and young life withering away. It was a disease that could have been completely cured with medical technology, but because they couldn't afford treatment, everything became irreversible. When things had developed to this point, who could still pat their chest and say calmly that money wasn't important?

  In a society that laughs at poverty and not at prostitution, when women choose their partners they first consider material conditions. This is indeed very realistic. However, if she really sinks to the level of the girl's mother in the previous example, how many people in this world can say they would sacrifice everything for love without any regrets?

  Needless to say, such a tragic situation is not the fault of one person or an individual hospital's moral issue, but rather one of countless tragedies created by this doomed era.

  Suddenly recalling the increasingly distant and dim hometown scenery in memory, at the end of the law era, Lin Xu suddenly thought of this specialized vocabulary that should come from Buddhist scriptures, which very aptly described a certain self-proclaimed rising great power.

  Although the realm where Lin Xu is now facing a survival crisis, it may collapse into the endless void at any time, this realm still has hope for salvation. The gods living here are still trying their best to save this world, but what about the earth? There are no longer any gods there, and people who are suffering from humiliation and hardship are left with no one to turn to. A drunk criminal shouted "My dad is xx" in front of everyone, and in an instant, justice gave way, righteousness stepped aside, and the crowd that was originally filled with righteous indignation fell silent.

  Such an effect is comparable to the golden words of jade, and in that world, power is indeed more magical than any kind of magic.

  A world under the indulgence of human desires is falling endlessly into the abyss of material desires. The thorough collapse from the corruption of human hearts is probably thousands and tens of thousands times more terrible than the unavoidable war disasters that occur when a dynasty is on the verge of collapse!

  Heaving a sigh of emotion for no reason, Lin Xu faced the reality in front of him again, furrowing his brow and muttering to himself:

  "How should I write 'Tian Feng'?"

  The heavenly seal obtained by the gods is a crucial procedure, equivalent to an official receiving a letter of appointment from a higher government. Examples like Lin Xu directly inheriting the position of the previous god Huo Shan, rather than obtaining the heavenly seal directly from the Heavenly Court, are actually not quite in line with the rules upon closer examination.

  Now Lin Xu is getting married, in accordance with the divine rules, his two wives will also be presented to the Heavenly Court for investiture, from then on joining the ranks of the gods, they can be counted as belonging to the Huo Mountain God.

  It was really difficult for Lin Xu to start writing this thing. On earth, he had written countless applications and reports, but when dealing with the heavenly court, he had to use the format of memorial to the throne, which was part of the basic procedure. Was classical Chinese something that could be easily written? Lin Xu was also very worried about this, and after thinking for a long time, he realized that he was wrong again. Under the vast sky, which leader would personally write reports? There were many clerks in this mountain temple who were skilled at writing.

  The officials of Mount Shengong Temple were entrusted to take the knife, and then Lin Xu ordered people to drive up a pile of firewood in the middle courtyard of the temple to burn incense and worship heaven.

  As Lin Xu threw the token into the ignited haystack, a faint white light burst forth from the wispy smoke and shot straight up into the clouds.

  In the courtyard, Lin Xu finally saw a flash of golden light appearing on the distant horizon at dusk. As the golden light fell into the Mountain God Temple, it instantly transformed into a yellow silk embroidered with dragons flying phoenixes and clouds, flowers, and various unknown beasts. Just looking at the exquisite craftsmanship, one could tell that this was no ordinary thing.

  With a reverent attitude, Lin Xuan slowly stepped forward and received the yellow silk that was floating in mid-air at a height of over one person. After reading its contents, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of bitter smile.

  What is called concise and to the point? This decree from Heaven, apart from stating the name of Hou Tu, Emperor of the Earth, was written on a whole piece of yellow silk over a zhang wide with only one character - "accurate".

  After the most tense and busy arrangement, after confirming that all the preparatory work was ready, Lin Xu chose to hold the ceremony on this day of Guyu Festival.

  Due to considerations for his own safety and the principle of fairness, Lin Xu did not personally go to welcome the brides but instead sent two former senior generals, Zhang Xin and Wang Liang, who were currently deputy commanders of the Mountain God Temple, as representatives of the groom's family to separately welcome the two brides from Jiangjia Village and Yangchun Mountain.

  The noisy wedding process is nothing to write home about. In short, it's lively but extremely tedious.

  Before entertaining guests from all sides in the front yard, after the worship ceremony, Lin Xu went to the backyard with the two brides to worship the plaque with the names of Sanqing and Siyu, then let them each bite their index fingers, and then drop a drop of fresh blood on the imperial decree that descended from the Heavenly Emperor. Suddenly, a fierce but not dazzling golden light burst out, and in an instant, the entire courtyard was filled with a fragrance like orchids and musk. A seven-colored rainbow stretched across the sky, and in the yard, a real illusion of green lotus leaves and white stems swaying in the wind appeared, with white mist rising all around, like a sea of clouds rolling, presenting a scene of a fairy family's victory.

  "Ah... you two get acquainted with each other. I'll be going to the front hall to entertain our guests, and won't be back until after midnight, so feel free to sleep if you get tired!"

  After that, Lin Xu left without looking back. This was helpless, he really had nothing to say to these two newlywed wives, and before this, they hadn't even met once, let alone having any emotional foundation. It was already not bad for Lin Xu to maintain a polite attitude towards the two strangers.

  The groom had run away alone on this side, and the two women who stayed in the room shifted their attention to each other.

  Although the vast Huo Mountain is not small, their social circle is not large. Both of them are famous beauties and often compared by idle people. They have known each other's names for a long time. Although they had never met before, everyone knew that the other existed. Now that they are under the same roof, if no sparks fly between them, it would be an insult to their intelligence.

  After a brief silence, the slightly taller girl with a melon-seed face and phoenix eyes, who was as lithe as a willow, spoke up first.

  "Little sister, I'll definitely take care of you from now on."

  Upon hearing this, Meng Yanran, who was slightly shorter in stature with a pair of big, bright eyes and a face that somewhat resembled Fan Bingbing's, spoke out with a hint of toughness amidst her gentle tone:

  "I don't dare to accept it, I'm just a humble girl from the yellow earth, you should call me Huang Yanran instead."

  The first move was countered by the opponent, and Jingyu's face showed no signs of joy or worry. She seemed to have completely ignored Meng Yanran's teasing tone and smiled brightly as she said:

  "Oh, really? I'm quite ignorant about that. Tell me, Yanyan sister, are you skilled in needlework or fond of poetry?"

  "A young lady just roughly understands, dare I ask which one you like?"

  Facing Meng Yanran's counter-question, Jing Shu pursed her lips and smiled, saying in a seemingly humble tone:

  "Oh, I also know a thing or two."

  How to determine which of the two wives is the first wife and who is the secondary wife. This difficult thing really troubled Lin Xu for a long time, but later he also opened up. The two heads are generally the same size, the two new wives are considered secondary wives, and the position of the first wife will be suspended for the time being!

  Although Lin Xu temporarily put aside the sovereignty dispute and no longer had disputes over the title of legitimate wife, it does not mean that there is no need to distinguish between high and low within this newly formed family. Fox girl Jing Xiu from Qingqiu and Huang Shiren's adopted daughter Meng Yanran, they carefully probed each other's attitude and bottom line in the bridal chamber on their wedding night, and tried their best to take the upper hand. If Lin Xu saw the scene of these women intriguing and competing with each other, he might only think of one adjective that is most suitable - palace struggle!
