Chapter 60: The people who see you off

Unfortunately, under these circumstances, Xiao Chengqian could not give me any explanation. When he noticed that I was looking at him, he avoided my eyes and then lowered his head in silence. According to my understanding of him, I was afraid that even if we were face to face, he still would not give me this explanation.

My heart suddenly felt a chill, but I was unwilling to give up this trust. I always firmly believed that people have feelings and that there is goodness in human nature… I don’t think this is naivety, let alone childishness, it’s just a way of life for me.

So, despite the inexplicable chill in my heart, I quickly regained my composure and began to button up my black shirt one by one, while my mind was racing to think of what other assets I had to turn the tables. At any time, I would not sit back and wait to be killed. Even if it was just like an egg against a stone, it was still better than the stone crushing itself.

The black shirt was quickly put on, but I still couldn’t think of any hope. At the edge of the altar, the roaring Yellow River water roared past from below, and the noise made people even more confused.

“I’ll be embarrassed if I take off my pants in public,” I said to the strange man with a cynical smile. This was intentional. I may be weak in front of him, but I have never given in to my will. Even if I die, I can’t die too ugly.

“Do you think there will be any women here to watch you?” The man who spoke was the same elegant middle-aged man, who was now lazily fixing his nails. Under the light of the sky, his hands looked very special, unusually long and strong, with long fingers, and they looked very nice.

I don’t know why I noticed this detail. I always thought that this person was neither monk nor Taoist, and the most special thing about him was his hands.

Unfortunately, what use is it to discover this detail?

As for the strange Taoist, he didn’t react at all to my provocative statement, just closing his eyes slightly, as if he were about to enter a trance. Unfortunately, I could feel his unusual mood.

Although the altar was full of men, I didn’t really take off my pants, which would have been too embarrassing. Instead, I chose to put my pants on top of my outer pants, and then casually tied the belt in three or five moves. I held the big red flower in my hand.

“It’s silly to hang it up. When you force me, a weak young man, later, I’ll reluctantly put it on,” I said casually.

“You little brat, I’ve been putting up with you for a long time. Don’t force me to torture you before you die a horrible death.” An unusually loud voice interrupted me. I noticed that it was a burly man who looked like Zhang Fei following the strange Taoist who was threatening me.

He was tall, strong, and dark, weighing more than 200 pounds. He had a full beard and looked like he didn’t bother to hide himself with his aura. Instead, he looked very rough and the gorgeous Taoist robe barely wrapped around his body, making him look somewhat comical and out of place. I was afraid that if he exerted himself, the poor robe would break.

He looked like Zhang Fei, and he really looked like him. I was laughing at him, and then I said, “I, Chen Chengyi, have never married a wife in my life, but you are forcing me to ‘marry’ someone. I don’t care what it is! I can only say that you are a bunch of low-level people, a bunch of pure bastards, a bunch of immoral people, a bunch of people who have lost their high-level taste, and a bunch of people who are harmful to the people. Gee…”

“You really want to die.” Zhang Fei was furious, and he rushed towards me. The monks and Taoists looked at me with cold eyes. Xiao Chengqian lowered his head and didn’t know what he was thinking, while the strange Taoist kept his eyes closed, looking like a mountain.

I deliberately provoked them. In a state of agitation, in a state of chaos, or I could get a glimmer of hope. Although the mood of this group of people had reached a very high level, it was not easy to provoke them. Just as Zhang Fei seemed to be very angry and rushed towards me, his eyes revealed a kind of calmness, a kind of disdain for me.

“Retreat.” The strange Tao suddenly opened his eyes, and the next moment his eyes looked at me, his momentum suddenly subsided, and he focused on his eyes.

He just gave me a cold glance, but my entire brain felt like it had been struck by lightning. First, it was numb and blank for a second, and then it was like I hadn’t slept all day and had been thinking all the time, and I started to feel dizzy and in severe pain.

“Ugh.” I held my head and let out a painful groan. Then the dizziness that made me unable to control my body effectively, and then I suddenly squatted on the ground. My stomach was violently churning, and because I had eaten and drunk a lot the night before, I vomited a lot of sour water.

But before I could dry the acid water, due to the high intracranial pressure caused by the severe increase in brain pressure, the capillaries in my nostrils could not withstand the pressure, and two lines of nose blood flowed out of my nose.

It was really embarrassing. I laughed at myself.

Is this the power of the monster? He concentrated his aura and used his spiritual power to directly collide with me, producing such an effect. What can I do to fight him?

What level of existence is he? Can he be so powerful?

“A little lesson in the power of words.” Guida threw me eight words, then closed his eyes.

Zhang Fei retreated, and Xiao Chengqian kept his head down, not even daring to look at me.

Yes, the power of the tongue. When will I, Chen Chengyi, only have this left? I reached out to dry my nose blood, and I stood up a little unsteadily. Since the dizzying pain had not yet subsided, I said in a weak voice, “Don’t bother. The people are here, the clothes have been changed, and if you want me to die, hurry up. What kind of power are you showing off to a weak young man?

“Want to die? It’s not that easy.” The elegant middle-aged man had completely manicured his nails by now, raised his hand, squinted at the sky, and seemed very satisfied. Then he smiled and said to me, “Someone has come to see you off.”

Who? I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart, and then I heard a series of footsteps rushing towards the bleachers. Then I saw all my friends, who had been tied up and brought to the altar.

“Brother,” Hui Gen’er called out to me, his face swollen and bruised, which made me feel extremely distressed.

They were all dressed in what looked like wedding clothes. It seemed that the Holy Village was planning to marry us all off to the so-called gods!

Seeing the pain in my eyes, Huigen was calm. He said to me with a relaxed tone, “Brother, I tried to resist, but I couldn’t win… Nia (others) forced a monk to marry Yin (a person), and I had no choice… Baoshe (I won’t say it anymore).”

“Huh,” I laughed, and regardless of the stares of these people, I walked straight up to Huigen’er, reached out and touched his bald head. Except for when I was a child, he rarely spoke to me in this pure Shaanxi dialect, which reminded me of Huidai, and of my master.

Is this really how life is? The closest to hope is often the most desperate.

Thinking this way, I began to untie Hui Gen’er without regard for the stares of these people. The group of cultivators who had brought them up immediately glared at me angrily. I didn’t even look up and said, “What are you afraid of? Aren’t we just a bunch of ants? Are you afraid that we’ll turn the world upside down? Are you that afraid?”

The strange Taoist didn’t say anything, and the group of cultivators didn’t dare to do anything, so they let me untie all of my partners’ ropes.

When I finally got to Ruoyue, she looked at me with red eyes and smiled. Then she suddenly said to me, “Third brother, if I die like this, I won’t be lonely on the road to the underworld. I’m not afraid, not at all. It’s just like when we were kids in the Hungry Ghost Tomb. You were holding my hand and running with me. It was actually quite happy.”

I was silent. It was hard for me to tell Ru Yue that once in the cave in the Black Smoke Village, a woman had carried me on her back, step by step, towards the hope of life. I really couldn’t tell her!

“Time.” The silent monster spoke.

“There is still half an hour left,” someone respectfully replied.

“Before sending him to the altar,” the strange Taoist said.

Then, this time, the two people behind the strange Taoist priest walked directly towards me. One was Zhang Fei, and the other was another Taoist priest.

At the same time, the crowd below the altar was boiling. I subconsciously turned around and saw a magnificent ship coming out of nowhere. It wasn’t an illusion, it was real.

It looked like the highest-class boat that only ancient emperors and generals could sit on, and the whole boat was very festive. Could this be the big boat for the newlyweds?
