Rebirth of marriage

The voices and rumors of the people did not make the Cao family change their mind. Not only that, they were determined to use today's funeral to ruin the marriage.

Therefore, the Cao family had prepared early.

After learning about the progress at Prince Xiao's Mansion, they also carried the coffin, played sad music and prepared to go out, heading to Le'an Street to meet the wedding procession from Prince Xiao's Mansion.

But as soon as the coffin was lifted, the steward in charge of the concierge was heard shouting, "Master, it's not good, it's not good, there are so many snakes outside the door, so many snakes are coming..."

The onlookers arrived faster than the Cao family master.

Outside the gate of Cao's house, there were densely packed snakes of various sizes and colors. They all faced the direction of Cao's house, spitting out their messages and making "hissing" sounds.

The battle is amazing!

At first, a large number of snakes suddenly appeared from all directions, and the people panicked and wanted to kill the snakes to protect their lives. But soon everyone discovered that these snakes had no intention of hurting anyone. They even deliberately avoided touching people. They seemed more like they were in a hurry. , headed straight in one direction - Cao Mansion.

The snakes gathered like a tide at the door of Cao's Mansion. They did not enter the door, but were lined up neatly in the open space outside Cao's house, on the steps, and even on the stone lions and gates at the door of Cao's Mansion. They were either entrenched or hanging. There are many snakes.

No matter how skilled and courageous the guards of the Cao family were, they had never seen such a terrifying scene. They wanted to draw their swords and kill the snakes, but there were so many snakes that even if all the guards of the Cao family were dispatched, they could not kill them. Finished.

Because all kinds of snakes were still coming to Cao's house, such visions frightened the servants of the Cao family and also frightened the people watching.

Recalling the previous rumors that the Cao family was punished by heaven, someone exclaimed, "The burning of the Cao family's temple was God's warning to the Cao family. However, the Cao family insisted on going their own way and insisted on mourning today, so God ordered a group of snakes to come and stop it."

"Yes, people say that snakes are little dragons. Could it be that they were sent by the ancestors of the royal family?"

"It's not impossible. The old man has lived for most of his life. He has never heard of snakes coming out, and he has never seen so many snakes avoiding people. You look at the snakes all over the streets, but not a hundred people have been bitten by snakes. These It’s more like the snake is here to seek an explanation from the Cao family.”

"Oh my god, the Cao family has committed the wrath of heaven. The gods are obviously enlightened."

……

When Cao Zhicheng and his two younger brothers appeared at the gate of Cao's house, they heard these comments.

The sight of the snake outside the door made his scalp numb and his body covered with goosebumps. He didn't believe in the theory of heavenly punishment, because the dreams that the ancestors of the Cao family had made up themselves.

The family temple must have been burned down artificially. Although there was no evidence, he guessed that it was the counterattack of King Xiao and Xie Jiu.

So there is no divine punishment at all.

But the scene in front of him still made him feel scared. Does King Xiao have the ability to get so many snakes?

From his position, the snakes looked like warriors going out to attack his Cao family. They were spitting out letters, glaring at the Cao family, and were ready to go. It seemed that as long as the Cao family carried out the coffin today, these snakes would swarm out. Enter his Cao family.

Chilling.

He grew up in fine clothes and fine food, and saw snakes only a handful of times, but he knew that there must be a lot of venomous snakes among these snakes. If they swarmed into the Cao family, no matter how many masters the Cao family had, he would still be very... It is difficult to guarantee that all Cao family members will survive safely.

He was worried, and when he was thinking about how to solve the problem in front of him, he heard Cao Laosi roar angrily, "Pour oil on the fire and burn it with fire."

"Fourth Brother?" Cao Zhicheng frowned, feeling that Cao Laosi's decision was too reckless. This group of snakes was no joke.

Cao Laosi gritted his teeth and whispered, "Brother, do you believe in the so-called heavenly punishment? What did my Cao family do to deserve heavenly punishment?

This must be a trick played by Xie Jiu and the others. When I was traveling abroad, I heard that some people could use special means to command snakes.

We have been planning carefully for so long, how can we just give up? What's more, if we don't do anything, what will happen if these snakes invade our home? "

"Yes, brother, you have to take some precautions." This time, Cao Lao Er also agreed with Cao Lao Si's method. He has been afraid of snakes since he was a child. These snakes have made his legs tremble a little, and he can't sit still and wait for death.

Cao Zhicheng was persuaded by his two younger brothers. In fact, he did not believe that his Cao family would be punished by God. Also, he thought of the third child who was bitten to death by a snake, so he believed the fourth child's words. This was Xie Jiu's fault.

The guards of the Cao Mansion quickly brought kerosene. When Cao Laosi ordered the guards to pour kerosene on the snakes, the snakes retreated very intelligently, retreating some distance like the ebbing tide.

"Pour it over.",

Cao Laosi had no intention of giving up and signaled the guards to go forward with the kerosene. The guards dared not disobey and poured the oil out.

Some older people exclaimed, "Snakes are messengers of the gods. Harming them is equivalent to harming the gods and will be punished by God."

Cao Laosi glared at the direction of the call and said to the guard, "Light the fire."

Several guards threw out fire sticks one after another, but before the thrown fire sticks landed on the kerosene, they were kicked back.

"Amitabha, God has the virtue of good life, but the donor wants to burn and kill thousands of living beings. It is a sin." Master Fangyuan, the host of Daming Temple, led several disciples to appear in front of the Cao family's house and performed a Buddhist salute to the Cao family brothers. .

It was several of his disciples who had just kicked Huo Zhezi away.

"Master Fangyuan." Although the three brothers of the Cao family were dissatisfied with Yuan Yuan's appearance, they still bowed in return.

Fangyuan was an eminent monk who was highly respected by the royal family and dignitaries, and several members of the Cao family did not dare to despise him in public.

But in recent years, Fangyuan has rarely left the temple. Even when an old prince in the royal family passed away at the beginning of the year, he was not invited to come out to perform rituals. I don't know why he appeared today.

Cao Laosi soon gave birth to little Jiujiu and hurriedly came forward to greet him, "Master is here to perform a ritual for my son. Please come quickly."

In this way, it not only gave Chengle some dignity, but also prevented Fangyuan from doing bad things.

But Master Fangyuan just smiled, remained motionless, and looked at Cao Zhicheng, "Master Chief Assistant, everything has its spirit, so please show mercy."

"Since there is a spirit, I think the master has a way to make these little beasts leave so as not to delay my son's funeral." Cao Laosi was disgraced and his face immediately dropped.

"Amitabha." Master Fangyuan announced the Buddha's name again, and led several disciples to stand in front of the group of snakes.

Cao Zhicheng looked like he was protecting the snakes, thus blocking the Cao family's actions today. Cao Zhicheng also had a dark face, but before he could say anything else, he saw a horse coming in a hurry.

The area outside Cao Mansion was full of people and when he could no longer ride his horse, the man dismounted and ran towards this side, shouting from a distance, "Master, Master, a giant python appeared in the ancestral graveyard, entrenched on the grave of the old man. "

The man was obviously frightened by the giant python. He only wanted to report the news, and did not take into account the large number of people, let alone other people. When he ran closer and saw the dense snakes surrounded by the crowd, he thought of that Zhang Zhang. The giant python with its bloody mouth tilted its head and fainted from fright.

"Sir, there are many snakes in the old lady's house. One of them is strangling the old lady's neck. The old lady knows the situation outside and asks you not to burn them." A steward also ran out of the house.

"Have someone protect the old lady quickly." Cao Zhicheng roared in a low voice. If those snakes bite the old lady, they will be responsible for her death.

He turned and looked at Fang Yuan, "Master, you heard it. These snakes are endangering my mother's life. Master, please get out of the way. They were the ones who provoked me first."

"It was the Cao family who committed the wrath of heaven first." Someone in the crowd shouted.

Cao Zhicheng winked at the guard. The guard received the order and was about to take out the fire seal when he heard an old voice, "Don't kill."

Several elders from the Cao family came over in a hurry. It turned out that many snakes appeared in their mansion. They did not hurt anyone, but they were scary.

Several clan elders heard about what happened in front of the Cao Mansion. They were in awe and did not dare to take risks, so they decided to come together to prevent Cao Chengle from going to the funeral.

No matter how high the official position of Chief Cao was, several clan elders came forward to stop it, so Chief Fu Cao had no choice but to suspend Cao Chengle's funeral.

What was shocking was that as soon as he stopped mourning, the snakes at the door retreated one after another. Everyone thought it was a sign from the gods, and they all accused the Cao family of being immoral. Even several clan elders wanted to blame him.

When they were surrounded by snakes, the wedding team from Prince Xiao's Mansion went all the way to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

The Cao family failed to succeed in their mission, so they decided to start a second plan.
