I'm an immortal in heaven

Chapter 1509 Six Ceremonies
Dongsheng Shenzhou, Qingfeng Cave, is very lively today.

A wide and flat cliff platform was forcibly opened up around the cave that was originally on the cliff. It was surrounded by lights and colorful lights and glowing fireflies.

Caijing Zhenren, Luan Ling'er, Jade Face Fairy, Lingdie Fairy, Juan Er, Mao Zhuanfeng, Mao Gou'er, Mao Ling'er and other female cultivators from Lingxia Mountain were busy following Cen Biqing to decorate the wedding venue and new house. .

This Qingfeng Cave was originally Cen Biqing's cave dojo, but Cen Biqing already had a new dojo, which was Lingxia Mountain, so the Qingfeng Cave was handed over to his apprentice Xu Hongyuan.

Cen Biqing's attire today is very different from before. She is wearing a light blue dress, without many accessories, and her hair is tied up in a bun. This makes Cen Biqing less girlish and more mature woman's temperament.

Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen were waiting for guests. Cen Biqing came to Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, grabbed Bai Suzhen's hand and said: "Sister, brother-in-law, spiritual tea, spiritual food, fairy fruit, elixir, delicacies and other items are all in the cave on the left side of the Qingfeng Cave. In the hall, I use storage bags to distribute them, and when the time comes, you can just go and sort them out."

Xu Xian looked at Cen Biqing, who was dressed as a mature woman, and couldn't help but smile: "Xiaoqing, the way you are dressed today, you look like a married woman."

When Bai Suzhen heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes at Xu Xian, "What are you talking about? If you don't know how to speak, don't say it."

Xiao Qing didn't mind. She smiled slightly and said, "My apprentice is getting married. As a master, I can't appear younger than my apprentice, right?"

"This is good." Bai Suzhen held Cen Biqing's hand tightly and said, "It's beautiful."

Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Thank you sister for the compliment."

At this time, Mao Huer ran over and said to Cen Biqing: "Master Qing, Confucius is here."

After hearing this, Cen Biqing quickly said to Bai Suzhen and Xu Xiian: "Sister, brother-in-law, I'll help you take care of this place."

Xu Xian smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't be able to fight if you ask me to fight. It will definitely be no problem to entertain guests."

Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, then turned and left with Mao Huer.

A piece of fairy light fell, Confucius and his 72 disciples landed on the platform, and Cen Biqing hurriedly greeted them.

"Cen Biqing pays homage to Lord Wenxuan." Cen Biqing bowed to Confucius.

Confucius bowed his hands and returned the courtesy and said: "Master Lingxia Xuanjing does not need to be polite. I have been ordered by the great emperor of the Hongqing Dynasty to come and preside over the coma ceremony for your disciples."

Cen Biqing saluted again and said, "It's all thanks to Lord Wenxuan and all the great sages."

The 72 Confucian sages behind Confucius also returned the courtesy, and then Cen Biqing ordered people to call Xu Hongyuan over.

Xu Hongyuan was currently wearing a black and red wedding dress, a jade crown on his head, and a Zhaowu sword on his waist. He looked heroic and majestic.

"Xu Hongyuan pays homage to the True Lord Wenxuan and pays homage to all the great sages." Xu Hongyuan paid homage to Confucius and all the Confucian sages.

Confucius and others returned the courtesy, and then Confucius said: "Fellow Taoist Xu Hongyuan, where is your Taoist temple?"

Cen Biqing said: "The dojo is here. This Qingfeng Cave was originally my dojo, and now it is given to him."

Confucius nodded and said: "Okay, let's get started. Master Lingxia Xuanjing, have you prepared all the things needed for the coma ceremony?"

Cen Biqing nodded and said: "According to your instructions, Wenxuan Zhenjun, everything is ready."

Confucius nodded, then turned to his 72 disciples and said: "Everyone go and prepare."

"Yes." All the Confucian sages bowed in response.

Then Confucius looked at Cen Biqing again, "I wonder if there will be a matchmaker for your disciple's marriage?"

"Matchmaker." Cen Biqing looked towards Xu Hongyuan. Xu Hongyuan was stunned for a long time, then shook his head and said: "There is no matchmaker."

"Then just find anyone." Confucius said, "There must be a matchmaker."

Cen Biqing asked: "Then I'll look for it now?"

Confucius shook his head and said: "No, I can just go find it. From now on, just leave all matters related to the Hun Yi to me."

When Cen Biqing heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then bowed her head again, "Then there is the True Lord Lao Wenxuan."

While they were talking, several more rays of fairy light fell. Not far away, Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian hurriedly came to greet them. It was none other than Bai Suzhen's disciple, Lishan's old mother's disciple.

"Junior sister Suzhen, today is your nephew's wedding, and we are all here." The leader, a monk who attained the Taoist Taiyi Golden Immortal, said.

Bai Suzhen quickly expressed her gratitude, then invited everyone to the table, and ordered people to bring spiritual tea, spiritual food and fairy fruits.

With the arrival of the immortals at Lishan Taoist Temple, more Taoist immortals and gods arrived one after another, and then many immortal monks from Buddhism, Xuanjiao, Sanxian, etc. all arrived in the next day.

The platform opened outside Qingfeng Cave was quickly filled with people. When Bai Suzhen saw this scene, she quickly found Cen Biqing and said, "Xiaoqing, the place is still too small. It needs to be expanded."

When Cen Biqing heard this, she immediately said, "I'll make arrangements."

At this time, Master Huolong, who was passing by, smiled and said, "Isn't this difficult to handle? Wouldn't it be nice to ask the mountain god to expand the ground outside Qingfeng Cave?"

After hearing this, Cen Biqing looked towards Master Huolong, then bowed his head and asked, "Is this okay?"

Cen Biqing also had concerns in her heart. A wedding is a private matter, and the mountain god is the righteous god of heaven. Does this count as seeking public benefit for personal gain?

Master Huolong pointed to a table full of people in front of him and said, "The Heavenly Judges are all at that table. Master Lingxia Xuanjing can go ask the Heavenly Judges."

Cen Biqing's eyes lit up when he heard this. After all, the effect of using magic to expand is relatively poor, and the requirements for Daoxing's mana are also high.

But it would be much better if the mountain gods could help and expand the mountain with earth veins.

"Thank you, Master, for your advice." Cen Biqing bowed his head, then turned and walked towards Judge Tian's table.

The seven heavenly judges Dingxiang Zhenren, Fahai Zen Master, Lei Zhenzi, Zu Qing, Zu Ti, Di Qing and Wen Zhenru were sitting at the same table. They were drinking spiritual tea and eating spiritual food and chatting. After Cen Biqing came over, the seven heavenly judges The judge immediately stood up and bowed his head.

Cen Biqing also quickly bowed his head and thanked him, and then told his question. When the seven heavenly judges heard this, they immediately looked at each other.

Master Dingxiang said: "This is indeed suspected of seeking public benefit for personal gain."

The other six Heavenly Judges also nodded. Cen Biqing was a little disappointed when he heard this, but still said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If this doesn't work, then I will find other Taoists to expand my magic power."

Wen Zhenru said: "Asking the mountain god to use earth energy to expand the scope of his dojo is indeed seeking public benefit for personal gain, but if the mountain god is asked to take back his confidence after the marriage, this problem will not exist."

"Yes." Zen Master Fahai said, "This is a temporary loan. There is no suspicion of using the public for personal gain."

Cen Biqing laughed immediately and bowed to the seven Heavenly Judges: "Thank you very much, Heavenly Judges."

Cen Biqing then informed Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen about the matter. Bai Suzhen said: "Then Xiaoqing, go ahead and do your work. I will let Hanwen handle this matter."

"Okay." Cen Biqing was not polite, nodded and turned around to leave.

Soon after, Xu Xian invited the mountain god. The mountain god came to Qingfeng Cave and used only a trace of earth energy to expand the platform outside Qingfeng Cave a hundred times.

Then Cen Biqing brought another invitation and asked the mountain god to attend Xu Hongyuan's wedding. The mountain god did not refuse and accepted the invitation.

At this time, Confucius came over, and he was accompanied by four immortals wearing Taoist robes and immortal spirits. Cen Biqing was shocked when he saw them. He quickly worshiped: "Cen Biqing pays homage to the four heavenly masters."

Confucius brought the four great heavenly masters. Zhang Daoling smiled and said, "Master Lingxia Xuanjing, what do you think of the four of us acting as matchmakers for your disciples?"

Cen Biqing was surprised and happy when he heard this, and immediately said: "There is nothing better than this, I am flattered."

"Hahaha." The four heavenly masters stroked their beards and laughed.

Next, Confucius took Xu Hongyuan away and began to formally carry out the evening ceremony process. According to the regulations of the 'Shi evening ceremony', a total of five processes were required, which took about three months.In these three months, Qingfeng Cave will remain as lively as it is today. All the invited immortal monks only need to come here to eat, drink, and play, and there is nothing else to worry about.

The consumption of this kind of wedding ceremony is huge, one day will cost millions of kalpas. Entertaining a true immortal is different from entertaining a Taiyi Golden Immortal who has attained the Taoism. Entertaining a heavenly official is also different from entertaining an ordinary monk.

Not to mention the Daluo Jinxian from all sides, the emperors of heaven have not arrived yet. If they arrive, can you get the ordinary fairy fruits, elixirs, and spiritual teas?Definitely not.

Moreover, Cen Biqing also invited Tianying Studio from Tianhefang to play the spiritual shadows all night long every night. Over the years, Tianying Studio has produced a huge number of spiritual shadows, and it has been played continuously for decades.

But Cen Biqing didn't care, she had plenty of jade, and her apprentice's wedding must be perfect.

The Jade Emperor, for Fang Jian's sake, gave all the immortal officials in Heaven a long holiday during Xu Hongyuan's evening ceremony, and put all matters on hold for the time being. Even Da Luotian was completely closed. The four heavenly gates were guarded only by heavenly soldiers, and even all the heavenly generals came to the wedding venue to play.

After the matchmaker was chosen, the next step was to prepare for the evening ceremony. Confucius first found the Royal Horse Supervisor Admiral who was drinking wine at the table while bragging and spanking with a group of generals.

"What? Borrow the Pegasus?" When the supervisor heard Confucius's words, he suddenly woke up from his drunken state.

Confucius patted the supervisor on the shoulder and said, "What? I'm asking you to borrow it, but I'm not asking you to pay it back later."

The Supervisor Admiral hesitated for a while, then a Heavenly General across from him said: "Hey, didn't you brag just now that all the Pegasus horses in the Royal Horse Prison are under your control? Why don't you even want to borrow them now? Could it be that you can't control them at all? ?”

"Who said that?!" said the Supervisor: "I am doing my duty. Those Pegasus are used by Heavenly Court for ceremonial purposes. They are used by the Great Heavenly Lord and all the emperors when they travel. How can they be borrowed casually?"

"Then do you want to borrow it or not?" Confucius asked.

The supervisor stood up, bowed his head to Confucius, and said: "If the Lord Wenxuan wants to borrow a horse, of course he can, but it requires the Lord Wenxuan to issue a horse-borrowing document in the name of the 'Justice God'."

"Okay." Confucius directly sent the document he had written in advance to the supervisor.

The supervisor took a look at the document and immediately said: "A hundred dragons and horses? All of them are red dragons and horses?"

"Yes." Confucius said, "One hundred red dragon horses, I need them tomorrow."

The supervisor nodded, then bowed his hands and said, "Zhenjun Wenxuan is waiting here. I will go back to get the horse right now."

The next day, the supervisor led the immortal officials of the Royal Horse Prison and brought a hundred high-quality red dragon horses to the outside of Qingfeng Cave.

Confucius immediately ordered people to mount the custom-made imperial chariots on these dragons and horses. Five dragons pulled one chariot, making a total of twenty ornately decorated chariots.

The 72 Confucian sages carried various rituals onto the royal chariot. The four heavenly masters boarded the first chariot, and the 72 sages boarded the subsequent chariots.

After everything was arranged, Confucius also boarded the first imperial chariot and stood beside the four heavenly masters.

Cen Biqing and Xu Hongyuan stood beside the imperial chariot. Confucius cupped his hands towards Cen Biqing and said, "Master Lingxia Xuanjing, I am going to Luzhou in Beiju for 'delivery'. You and your disciples do not need to go there, just stay here."

"Okay." Cen Biqing nodded, and then saw Confucius and others urging the dragons and horses. After hearing a neighing sound that resounded through the sky, twenty imperial chariots lined up in a long line and flew up to the blue clouds, pulled by a hundred dragons and horses. Go straight towards Beiju Luzhou.

The speed of Longma was extremely fast. In just eight days, the convoy entered Beiju Luzhou from Dongsheng Shenzhou, and then directly arrived outside Hongqing Palace in Duanjie Mountain.

Mei Xianzhang and Zhe Yu had already led everyone waiting outside Hongqing Palace. When the convoy dropped, Confucius took the lead to get out of the chariot, and then said loudly: "Please matchmaker."

The four heavenly masters immediately got off the chariot, and then stepped forward holding the ritual ceremony. Mei Xianzhang and Zheyu led others to take the ritual ceremony from the hands of the four heavenly masters, and then handed over Confucius and the four heavenly masters. , 72 Xian was invited to Hongqing Palace.

In the Hongqing Palace, Confucius, the Four Heavenly Masters, and the 72 Sages met Fang Jian, while Lan Xin was sitting on the right side of the hall.

Now Fang Jian came forward as an elder, so Confucius and his party did not perform the grand ceremony of ministers and kings, but both sides greeted each other.

After the ceremony was completed, the four heavenly masters used the body of the matchmaker to come forward to 'give the order'. The so-called handing down means that the man asked the matchmaker to express his intention to propose marriage to the woman.

After the four heavenly masters completed their instructions, Fang Jian said: "This is a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven. I am Lan Xin's teacher, and it is my heart's wish that my little disciple has such a good match."

Fang Jian agreed to the marriage, and then asked Lan Xin: "Lan Xin, can you agree to this marriage?"

There was no way Lan Xin could disagree, so she immediately said: "Teacher, my disciple agrees."

Then the 72 Confucian sages presented the rituals, and after the two sides went through some etiquette, Confucius led everyone on to the royal chariot and returned to Dongsheng Shenzhou.

The 'issuance' has been completed, and the next step is the 'nacai'. It is still the same twenty royal chariots, with all kinds of etiquette, which is the 'nacai'.

Then the matchmaker asks the woman for her name, which is called 'name asking'.

After the name inquiry, a Taoist master was asked to divine the names of the man and woman. After the divination was completed, the hexagrams showed that the marriage was "good luck", so Cen Biqing, the man's elder, brought the etiquette and went to the woman's house with Confucius and others to invite the woman's family to do the ceremony. Please ask the woman to "Naji", that is, "to accept a good fortune".

After Naji passed, there was a formal betrothal gift. This was the 'Nazheng'. Cen Biqing and Xu Hongyuan had to go there in person, so this time the convoy Cen Biqing, Xu Hongyuan and Confucius were in the first car, and the four heavenly masters were the first. Two cars, 72 Xian behind.

After the recruitment is completed, it is the application period. The application period is to select an auspicious date for the wedding. This date was selected by Confucius and approved by Fang Jian. It was officially determined on the ninth day of September in the second year of the Jade Emperor, 860, which is ten days later.

It took more than three months to go back and forth between Dongsheng Shenzhou and Beiju Luzhou. The wedding was held ten days later. It takes nearly four months.

After the auspicious date was confirmed, Fang Jian and Cen Biqing notified all parties again, and then the emperors of heaven and the Daluo Jinxians of all parties also began to descend to the Qingfeng Cave to prepare for the wedding.

The next step was to choose the best man and bridesmaid. This matter should have been decided by Fang Jian and Cen Biqing, but they still left the matter to Confucius and gave him full authority to make the decision.

So Confucius began to publicly select the groomsmen and bridesmaids. The initial number was nine groomsmen and nine bridesmaids. Considering the relationship between Mei Xianzhang and Xu Hongyuan, the first bridesmaid was naturally hers. Later, Caijing's Disciple Luan Ling'er also became the second bridesmaid, and then she chose Fairy Spirit Butterfly. The other female fairies from Lingxia Mountain also wanted to be bridesmaids. Unfortunately, they were either not tall enough or too evil, so they were not allowed to be bridesmaids. Suitable, even the curly ears were brushed off by Confucius on the grounds that she looked too coquettish and not suitable to be a bridesmaid.

He was so angry that he scolded her as "a sour wife and an old antique", but she couldn't refute it. After all, coquettishness is not a derogatory term sometimes, but it's just not suitable for being a bridesmaid.

But soon, someone came to recommend themselves, but they recommended themselves as the best man.

"Have you chosen the best man yet? If not, consider me one."

Everyone looked around after listening to the voice, and then their eyes lit up. They saw a beautiful woman wearing jade clothes and a purple gold crown. Her face was like a crown of jade, her lips were painted with vermilion, her eyebrows were bright, her figure was tall, and she was gentle and elegant. 'Stand in front of me.

When Confucius saw this person, he was surprised and said: "Demon Emperor?"

The person who came was none other than Demon Emperor Tang Yu. Tang Yu smiled and said, "Old Master, do you think I am qualified to be the best man?"

Confucius nodded repeatedly and said: "Not to mention the best man, I am qualified to be the bridesmaid."

Suddenly there was a burst of chuckles from around him. Confucius turned to look, and then his eyes lit up again. It turned out that Tang Yu was accompanied by three dignified and elegant women, namely Yingxu, Yaoji, and Jingwei.

"Are these three fellow Taoists the three daughters of the Southern Lord Lingzhen?" Confucius asked.

Tang Yu smiled and said: "Exactly."

Confucius said quickly: "It's just a good time to come. I think the three Taoist friends are dignified and elegant, so we might as well be bridesmaids together."

"Ah?" Yingxu and Jingwei were a little surprised and said hesitantly: "Can we do it?"

Confucius smiled and said: "The height and temperament are very suitable."

Yingxu and Jingwei looked at Yao Ji again. After all, Yao Ji was once an immortal official beside God Haotian, and she had seen the world.

Yao Ji smiled and said: "Since Lord Wenxuan thinks highly of us three sisters, then this bridesmaid can do the same."

Confucius was very happy after hearing this, and immediately wrote the names of the three people on the jade slip in his hand, and then said: "Mei Xianzhang, Luan Ling'er, Lingdie, Yingxu, Yaoji, and Jingwei, these are the six people. There are three bridesmaids missing. The best man has a Taoist friend Tang Yu, so there are eight missing."

After saying that, Confucius raised his head and said to Cen Biqing: "We still need to find three more bridesmaids and eight more groomsmen."
