~8 min read 1,497 words

According to local customs, the newlyweds register their household documents at the Yamen in the morning.

During the day, they follow traditional customs to welcome the bride. Near evening, under the witness of many relatives and friends, they worship and get married.

After the ceremony, they don't enter the bridal chamber temporarily. Instead, the groom's family personally sends the bride to the Shendian to receive the Guiyuan Great God's blessing and spends the wedding night in the Shendian.

The groom and his family return to the spot, until the next morning, when they welcome the bride back.

It is said that the fifteenth of this month is a good day, and there are particularly many newlyweds.

At this moment, many brides are waiting in line outside the gate of the Shendian.

Lin Qingyue is also wearing a red wedding dress, with a red veil on her head, mixed in the line of brides.

And the original bride was knocked out by her and thrown under the bed of the groom's family.

There were many brides around, she lifted the veil and counted, there were actually 62: Tsk tsk, it is indeed a good day.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on one of the brides.

That bride was very tall, a full eight feet tall. Standing in the line of brides, she had a feeling of standing out from the crowd.

Lin Qingyue walked over and said: "You dropped something."

That newcomer lifted the veil a little to check under her feet, and Lin Qingyue looked up from the bottom, and saw his slightly protruding Adam's apple and half of his face.

Sure enough, it was him, Dongfang Qi!

A few days ago, he said he would find a way to mix in, but later there was no movement. Lin Qingyue thought he had given up on that idea, but didn't expect this guy to play a transformation show silently.

Lin Qingyue simply pretended not to recognize him, and asked seriously: "This lady, may I ask what you grew up eating, how can you grow so tall?"

"Maybe I eat a lot of flour." Dongfang Qi pinched his voice, sharp and thin, and it really had a bit of an indistinguishable feeling.

Lin Qingyue looked down and saw a little bit of the shoe tip exposed outside the skirt, so she reminded with a smile: "You seem to have worn the wrong shoes?"

Dongfang Qi had long recognized Lin Qingyue's voice, he lifted the veil a little, lowered his voice and explained: "The clothes can barely be supported, but the shoes really can't be made do. It's just that I was afraid you would laugh at me, so I didn't say hello in advance. Sure enough, I was still mocked by you."

Lin Qingyue said: "Your chest... is a bit strange."

Dongfang Qi blushed, and hurriedly lowered his head to adjust.

Lin Qingyue glanced at it and found that the things stuffed in his chest were actually two white flour buns.

Perhaps because there were too many people just now, they were squeezed by someone, and the buns were flattened, so the chest became big and small, and couldn't be adjusted.

So Dongfang Qi hardened his heart and simply flattened the bun on the other side too.

Lin Qingyue: "..."

What to do, I really want to laugh.

Dongfang Qi's face became even redder, so he had to pull the veil down.

Lin Qingyue held back her laughter, patted him on the back, and said: "For safety, I have planted a Twin Resonance Talisman on you."

A sound came from under the veil: "Hmm." It was considered an answer.

At this time, the gate of the Shendian opened slowly.

The brides wearing red ceremonial dresses were guided by the Shendian attendants and walked into the Guiyuan Shendian one after another.

Ordinary people can only worship in the square outside the Shendian in ordinary times. Only rich people who have contributed enough incense money are qualified to enter the interior of the Shendian.

Most of these brides tonight are from ordinary families, and if it weren't for this opportunity, they would never be able to step into the shop. Therefore, whether it is the bride herself or her family, they feel extremely honored.

This is the first time the brides have come to the interior of the Shendian, and many of them feel extremely excited.

"The Archbishop is here!"

Accompanied by a loud shout, the Bishop wearing a grand ritual robe walked down from the stairs, full of majesty and holiness.

"Take off the veil, worship!" someone shouted in front.

Then there was a rustling sound of taking off the veils.

Dropping the veil in front of the god statue also represents the bride letting the god take a look first.

The Bishop gave some speeches, the general meaning was to thank the god for the marriage bestowed upon you. If you know how to be grateful, you can obtain greater blessings, and in the future, you must learn to endure hardship, respect the god, and serve your family, etc.

Then, he ordered people to distribute a bottle of holy water to every bride present.

The brides who received the holy water were all extremely excited.

A bride in front of Lin Qingyue even cried with emotion: "My God, that is holy water! My father asked for it several times, but couldn't ask for the holy water! Drinking it can strengthen the body and obtain the god's blessing!"

When it was Lin Qingyue's turn, she also received a bottle of holy water.

Unscrewing the lid, she looked at it and saw that the water in the bottle was ruddy in color, with a faint herbal fragrance, very fresh. But Lin Qingyue smelled a trace of extremely faint blood from the herbal fragrance.

Combined with Ke An's description before, Lin Qingyue estimated that the things added in here should be drugs that make people lose consciousness.

Otherwise, the previous brides would not have been so dead asleep in the middle of the night, not knowing what happened.

Lin Qingyue naturally wouldn't drink this kind of thing, but was about to pour it out when she found the Bishop's gaze staring at her, and his eyes were a bit strange.

"Why don't you drink the holy water?" As soon as this remark came out, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Qingyue.

Lin Qingyue's eyes were timid: "I... I want to take it back to my mother. She caught a cold last winter, and it hasn't been good yet, coughing every day. I heard that holy water can cure all diseases, I want to let my mother's body recover."

"Bold! You actually want to hide the holy water!" someone roared.

Other brides were also trembling with fear.

The Bishop raised his hand, and his subordinates closed their mouths immediately.

"You want to give your mother a bottle?" The Bishop looked at Lin Qingyue and smiled, gentle and kind.

"Bestow another bottle of holy water on her."

So, Lin Qingyue had two bottles of holy water in her hand instantly.

Lin Qingyue: "..."

There were other brides whispering beside her:

"She is really lucky, actually able to get two bottles of holy water!"

"I heard that someone wanted to bring a bottle for her family before, and as a result, she angered the god and was driven out."

"Ah, then why did the Bishop show extra favor to her?"

In addition to those who discussed, there was also a bold bride who learned from Lin Qingyue's words and begged:

"Bishop, please bestow another bottle of holy water on me too! My father broke his leg a few days ago, I hope the holy water can let him stand up again!"

The Bishop scanned her, his tone still kind: "The sunshine and rain of this world are all bestowed by the god. Even your life is the god's gift."

"Your parents, although they gave birth to and raised you, they are just a bridge, sending the gift to you."

"And the various sufferings they endure are also the god's test. Therefore, you should be grateful for the god's gift, don't covet too much."

"Too much desire will make your soul no longer pure, and your soul will also be wrapped by sinful desires, unable to reach the clean God Domain in the future, and can only sink in the endless sea of suffering."

The attendants around lowered their heads and closed their eyes, chanting devoutly: "Abandon one's own selfish desires, feel the god's gift, only then can you reach the clean God Domain and avoid falling into the sea of suffering."

So dozens of brides bowed in respect, following the chant: "Abandon one's own selfish desires, feel the god's gift, only then can you reach the clean God Domain and avoid falling into the sea of suffering."

The Bishop nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly asked Lin Qingyue again: "Why don't you drink the holy water yet?"
