Chapter 118
The giant rock-like hill in the center is called Danqiu, which is the place where the Danxia Sect holds various ceremonies. It is said to be naturally formed. Liu Xiaolou looked up, but he couldn't believe in his heart that such a flat and level giant stone platform would be naturally formed. It must be the work of the Danxia Sect's ancestors, right?
The main day of the ceremony is tomorrow. It is not yet time to climb the hill. Looking at the sky, the sun is about to set, making the evening glow even more brilliant, like inlaying gold edges one by one.
Many questions popped up in Liu Xiaolou's mind, such as what is the relationship between this Cave Heaven world and the normal world outside? Is the sun seen inside and outside the same?
While thinking about these questions, he followed the Su family toward the northwest. About three miles away from Danqiu, a place with lush water and grass appeared in front of him, and more than a dozen thatched cottages were arranged in an orderly manner.
Su Zhi turned and ordered: "Rest."
Except for Liu Xiaolou, everyone else had often or had been here before, and they knew who lived in which room. Su Zhi and Su Xun entered the two large rooms in the center. The eldest son Su Long, the third son Su Fan, the Fifth Young Lady Su Xi, the Eighth Young Master Su Mo, the Ninth Young Lady Su Wan, and the others were all the same, leaving Liu Xiaolou alone in place.
After they had all moved in, Liu Xiaolou found an unoccupied one on the side. Just as he walked to the front of the room, the eldest son Su Long suddenly came out of his own room and said to Liu Xiaolou: "This is the Second Young Lady's room. Although she married far away, this room has always been reserved for her."
Liu Xiaolou had no choice but to retreat and find another room. Just as he was about to look at a few more thatched cottages in the distance, Su Zhi came out of his thatched cottage and pointed to the one next to him: "You live in this one!"
Liu Xiaolou was stunned: "Ah..."
Su Zhi urged: "Hurry!"
Liu Xiaolou had no choice but to move over quickly and carefully push open the door: "Wuniang..."
The thatched cottage was not big, only two zhang long and one and a half zhang wide. On the left was a carved big bed, and on the right was a pool about a foot square. By the pool were dark red rocks, and the shape was not regular, so it was known to be naturally formed, not artificially chiseled. The pool water was quiet and emitted a rich spiritual power, even richer than the spiritual power floating in the world outside!
Is this the legendary spirit spring? Good guy, it turns out that the thatched cottage was not built casually, but was built by the pool. Cultivating in the thatched cottage, although it was still not as good as spirit stones, it was finally possible to cultivate, cultivation without spirit stones!
At this moment, Su Wuniang was sitting on a meditation cushion by the pool, her face indifferent, and she said softly: "Come in."
Liu Xiaolou cupped his hands: "Forgive me, forgive me..."
Su Wuniang shook her head and said: "After all, we are husband and wife, at least we should behave like husband and wife."
Liu Xiaolou smiled apologetically: "Yes, yes, it's just that I'm afraid of bumping into... Lady..."
Su Wuniang said: "Take care of yourself, I want to cultivate."
Liu Xiaolou nodded: "Lady, please do as you please, don't worry about me."
In the thatched cottage, except for the bed and the spirit spring pool, Liu Xiaolou didn't know what to do for a while. He came to the bed, sat down diagonally for a while, then hurriedly got up, walked around carefully, and finally sat opposite Su Wuniang, separated by the pool, and cultivated together.
The spiritual power emitted from the spring pool was transformed into true qi, entered the meridians, and after accumulating for a while, continued to impact the fifth acupoint of the Hand Shaoyang Meridian—Waiguan!
He felt that the spiritual power was indeed not as thick as spirit stones, but its softness was far better than spirit stones, and it was easier when cultivating. And thinking that this spiritual power was all free, a sense of comfort that couldn't be described surged in his heart.
Just as he was immersed in it, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and then someone knocked on the door: "Is Wuniang here?"
Su Wuniang looked at Liu Xiaolou, who was also awakened, and said: "Is it Yinggu? Please come in."
With a wave of her hand, the door opened slightly, and a woman walked in wearing moonlight. Outside the door, the stars and moon were already full.
Su Wuniang and Liu Xiaolou had already stood up to welcome her. Su Wuniang said: "It's been a long time, Yinggu. How are you now? This is my husband, Liu Xiaolou. Husband, this is Yinggu of Mao Gong Altar, a family friend, who played very well when we were young."
Yinggu rushed up to hold Su Wuniang: "Wuniang, why were you in such a hurry to get married? I didn't know until last month... My fifth younger brother has been heartbroken for several months, and he has always been infatuated with you. You said that you are both the fifth in your families, truly a match made in heaven. How did it get to this point?"
She turned to look at Liu Xiaolou and praised: "I have always been wondering what kind of person it is that could make Wuniang so anxious, as if the person would run away if she didn't get married immediately. Now it seems that he is truly a handsome young man, a person of talent. Wuniang raising him at home and looking at him twice when she has nothing to do is truly a great blessing! Oh, I came in such a hurry that I didn't even prepare a wedding gift. It was truly thoughtless..."
Liu Xiaolou smiled and bowed: "Senior's praise is too much."
Yinggu was stunned for a moment and laughed: "Senior? No need to be so polite, I am just a few years older than Wuniang."
Su Wuniang smiled: "Only four years older."
Liu Xiaolou scratched his head: "Shameful, it was my eyes that were clumsy."
Yinggu laughed dryly: "Our family just arrived and hasn't settled down yet. I just rushed over to see you first. There's nothing else, so I'll go back first and comfort my fifth younger brother."
Yinggu said goodbye and left. Su Wuniang sat back by the spring pool and suddenly smiled: "Senior..."
Liu Xiaolou sat back and said: "On our Wulong Mountain side, there are no family relatives, only seniority based on cultivation. Her cultivation should be much higher than mine, so calling her Senior is not wrong, right?"
Re-entering cultivation, he didn't know how long it had been, maybe half an hour, or maybe an hour, when Su Wuniang suddenly jumped backward, jumped onto the bed, and at the same time, grabbed backward with her palm, controlling the dragon and crane, and Liu Xiaolou suddenly flew onto the big bed.
He had just landed on the bed and hadn't reacted yet when the door was pushed open—this time he didn't even hear footsteps.
A middle-aged woman stood in front of the door, her hands behind her back, staring straight at Su Wuniang and Liu Xiaolou on the bed, her face extremely unkind.
Su Wuniang hurriedly got up from the bed, tidied up her messy clothes and hair, and bowed to the woman: "Godmother."
The woman stared at Liu Xiaolou, who was still dazed on the bed, staring until Liu Xiaolou's scalp went numb. He wanted to get up, but felt his whole body soft and weak, and even moving a finger was difficult. His heart was horrified: Is this the pressure deliberately released by a high-level cultivator? I don't know if it's the late stage of Foundation Establishment, or if she has already entered Golden Core?
"Godmother, this is my husband, Liu Xiaolou," Su Wuniang said again.
While speaking, Su Zhi and Su Xun both heard the sound and rushed over. Su Zhi squeezed out a smile: "Yaojun is here..."
The woman glared at him, turned and left. Su Zhi sighed, signaled Su Wuniang to close the door, and chased after her with Su Xun.
Liu Xiaolou seemed to have broken free from a big mountain on his body, and then wiped his cold sweat and got up: "Lady, who is this expert again? Golden Core?"
Su Wuniang was silent for a moment and said slowly: "She is my godmother, from the Cai family. She treats me very well, but she is trying to match me with that person from the Wang family... She is different from others; she truly likes me. To avoid accidents, I didn't tell her about my marriage."
