Chapter 149 The Ugly Monster Recorded in the Book of Power; Diamond Tears [Subscribe]

Ancestor Wenlu smacked his lips and said:
"A sixteen-year-old marquis is really rare."

These Shaolin ancestors were not surprised at all that Lin Xuan was canonized as a marquis by Emperor Zhao.

After all, Lin Xuan's monstrous talent is there, and no one can easily ignore it!
As long as the current emperor is not stupid, he will definitely win him over!
The same would happen to someone else.

……

At dusk, Lin Xuan's figure slowly appeared outside the mountain gate.

He used his Qinggong skills to rush all the way back to Shaolin from Xiawa Village, which took him most of the day.

There is still about 20% to 30% of the true Qi in the body.

“Lin…Senior Brother Lin!”

The young monk guarding the gate was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Xuan coming back, and then he shouted with a little excitement.

Three days had passed since the emperor conferred the title of Marquis Xuanyong on Lin Xuan.

Shaolin had heard this rumor a long time ago.

When the monks in the temple learned that the newly promoted marquis was the disciple accepted by Abbot Sanzang last year, they were extremely excited!

Everyone was congratulating Senior Brother Lin Xuan.

When I go out, I feel even more honored!
After all, Lin Xuan is from Shaolin!
"Ah."

Lin Xuan smiled at the young monk, greeted him familiarly, and walked straight into the temple.

After returning to the temple, Lin Xuan first went to the dormitory and put down his luggage.

What surprised him was that Tang Xiaolong and Chen Xiaohu had not returned yet.

After letting go of his mind, Lin Xuan did not find any trace of Hua Xiaolan in the temple.

Apparently, none of the three came back.

At the moment, he could only go to the kitchen and have a simple dinner.

After his cultivation level was promoted to the Yuqi Realm, Lin Xuan clearly felt that his appetite was much smaller than before.

After all, he no longer needs to strengthen his muscles and bones and temper his energy.

After dinner, Lin Xuan came to the abbot's courtyard and respectfully greeted Abbot Sanzang.

At that time, the two had just come out of the Incarnation Kiln.

Seeing Lin Xuan coming in, the two of them couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan came back so soon.

It seems that power, fame and fortune are nothing but clouds to him.

In the abbot's courtyard, Lin Xuan exchanged pleasantries with his master and uncle, two elders.

He also told Uncle Gongjin that Wei Dan was posthumously conferred the title of Marquis.

After listening to what Lin Xuan said, Gong Jin looked disappointed, but he saw a flash of praise in the latter's eyes.

It is obvious that in Gongjin's opinion, the current emperor is not a person who listens to only one side of the story.

Still humane.

Lin Xuan thought, maybe next time the Song Dynasty is in danger again, his uncle will still stand up!

……

When leaving the abbot's courtyard.

It was completely dark.

After returning to the dormitory, Lin Xuan was not in a hurry to practice.

Instead, he placed the "Picture of Nagarjuna Bodhisattva's Enlightenment of Gathas" horizontally on his knees, immersed his mind in it, and began to practice the form of the primordial spirit, the Eight Gathas of Maha Tian!

As he entered into a state of meditation, an illusory dragon shadow could be vaguely seen circling around him.

……

Noon the next day.

Hua Xiaolan returned to the temple.

In the afternoon, Tang Xiaolong also arrived at Shaolin.

Right now, only Chen Xiaohu has not returned yet.

evening.

Outside the gate of Shaolin Temple, Lin Xuan, Tang Xiaolong and Hua Xiaolan were sweeping up fallen leaves as usual.

At this moment, Hua Xiaolan looked at Lin Xuan who was sweeping the floor seriously in front of her, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said with a smile:
"Brother, no, should I call you Marquis now?"

"Do you know that your deeds have spread throughout Qingshi Village? Everyone praises you as a young marquis."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan smiled without denying it:
"I can be crowned as a marquis, but it is inseparable from your contributions."

"How is it, Xiaolan, have you received the reward from the court?"

Hua Xiaolan nodded and said:
"received."

"But I'm not interested in gold, silk or anything like that."

As she was sweeping the floor, she asked out of boredom:
"I don't know when Xiaohu will come back?"

Do not know why.

In a small group of four, one person was missing, and something felt wrong.

"He has many brothers and sisters. He brought back a box of gold, silver and jewelry this time. He must be very busy."

Tang Xiaolong said from the side.

Ever since the last "Qing'er" incident, Lin Xuan found that Xiaolong seemed to have become much more stable.

After a pause, Tang Xiaolong continued:

"Last time, his elder brother wrote to me and said he had found someone he liked."

"This time, I guess Xiaohu's family has money now, so they don't have to worry about the betrothal gifts. We should go to the other party's house to propose marriage."

Xiaolong finished speaking.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Xiaohu’s older brother is called Chen Xin.

He remembered that in the original book, there was a plot unit that told the story of Xiaohu's elder brother Chen Xin and his sweetheart.

"Everyone hurry up and sweep, we still have to clean the sewers later!"

When the fallen leaves had piled up enough, Lin Xuan found a large dustpan.

He said helplessly after looking at the two people who were still moving slowly.

"I understand, senior brother."

When they heard that they had to clean the sewers, Tang Xiaolong and Hua Xiaolan's expressions instantly became depressed and they answered sullenly.

I really don't want to do dirty, tiring and rough work!
……

On the second day after Lin Xuan returned to the temple, Chen Xiaohu finally came back.

This time when he returned to the temple, he brought a lot of things, including the necessary clothes and a lot of wedding candies and fruits.

"Hey, Xiaohu, is your elder brother married?"

Looking at the crispy candies that Chen Xiaohu shared with everyone, Tang Xiaolong asked curiously.

"Not yet, but he proposed successfully."

"In a few days, I will go to the other party's house to propose marriage."

Chen Xiaohu laughed.

Hua Xiaolan is a girl, so she has a natural interest in the topic of marriage:
"Where is your elder brother's crush from?"

"Is he from Chenjia Village too?"

Chen Xiaohu shook his head and said, "No, it's from Weijiabao."

"Weijiabao? Never heard of it."

Hearing this, Tang Xiaolong thought for a while, then frowned.

at this time.

Hua Xiaolan looked surprised and said:
"I have heard about this Wei Family Fort from Elder Longchuan. He said that the fort owner, Wei Shan, is a rare master of the Yuqi realm within a hundred miles."

"I heard from the villagers that he is extremely wealthy, and there are countless rare treasures and diamonds in the castle. He is very wealthy!"

As she spoke, she inquired:

"By the way, Xiaohu, who is your elder brother's crush in Weijiabao?"

"Her name is Meili, and she is the adopted daughter of Lord Wei." Chen Xiaohu said frankly.

He had nothing to hide in front of his senior brother, Xiaolong and Xiaolan.

Tang Xiaolong was surprised:

"So, she is the adopted daughter of Lord Wei?"

Having said this, Tang Xiaolong said nothing more.

As a scholar.

He understands the importance of marrying someone of the same social status.

It is obvious that there is a huge gap between Weijiabao and Chenjia.

Tang Xiaolong didn't think that the Chen family could successfully marry Mei Li home with the seven thousand gold.

Chen Xiaohu seemed to have heard the hidden meaning of Tang Xiaolong's words, but he didn't think it was a big deal. He explained:

"My eldest brother said that Meili is a good girl. She is considerate and knowledgeable. Moreover, she and my eldest brother are truly in love."

"The Lord of Wei has always loved his adopted daughter very much. He should obey her wishes and marry her to the Chen family." "Besides, the seven thousand gold I brought last time is enough."

"Not to mention, there are also rewards from His Majesty."

Although Tang Xiaolong was not optimistic.

But the other party was Chen Xiaohu's elder brother after all, so he didn't say anything to discourage him, but smiled sincerely:
"hope so."

Listening to the conversation between Xiaolong and the other two, Lin Xuan seemed to be silent.

In fact, I was secretly calculating in my heart.

He remembered that in the original novel, Wei Shan, the lord of Weijia Fort, was a complete villain!
In fact, the entire Weijiabao is dirty!
Full of tyranny and brutality!

Although Meili is his adopted daughter, Wei Shan has always regarded her as a cash cow.

Poor kind-hearted and simple-minded Mary never imagined that her adoptive father, who seemed to love and care about her in every way, was actually a thief who did all kinds of evil things!

In the first volume of "The Book of Power", there was a record of such a demon.

His name is Ugly Monster.

As the name suggests, this ugly monster is indeed ugly and disgusting.

For this reason, it has always hated beautiful people.

I especially like to curse children who are born beautiful!
But at the same time as the curse, the cursed child will also gain different strange abilities.

And Merry is the cursed child.

When she was still in her infancy, she was discovered by an ugly demon and cursed.

From then on, she was no longer pretty and became uglier and uglier.

same.

Every tear she sheds can turn into a dazzling diamond!

It's a coincidence.

Wei Shan, the lord of Weijiabao, was a bandit many years ago.

Once when he was robbing down the mountain and came to Mary's house to steal property, he happened to see the ugly monster cursing Mary.

It was from that time that Wei Shan discovered Meili's amazing ability.

He was ecstatic about this.

At the same time, in order to cover up this secret and completely possess this "treasure bowl", he made up his mind and sent people to kill Mary's parents.

He adopted her as his adopted daughter and kept her in Weijiabao like a canary.

So many years have passed, and Wei Shan has been trying to find the answer. He wants to understand why after Mary becomes ugly, she can turn into diamonds as long as she sheds tears?
It was not until he heard the rumors about the ugly monster that he came to his senses.

At the same time, Wei Shan gradually learned how to break the ugly monster's curse.

That is, once the cursed person gets married and spends the wedding night, the curse will automatically disintegrate and become ineffective.

This way, Mary can no longer cry out diamonds for him.

Therefore, in Lin Xuan's opinion, if Wei Shan wants long-term wealth and prosperity, he will never let Mei Li get married!
Instead, let him die alone.

But now something unexpected has happened.

The Chen family received a reward from the emperor, but Lin Xuan didn't believe it and Wei Shan had never heard of it.

In addition to the relationship between Chen Xiaohu and Shaolin, Wei Shan will definitely consider this marriage carefully!

Besides, God knows, after so many years, how many pearls and diamonds did Wei Shan take from Meili?

To what extent has the accumulated wealth reached?

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan pondered:
"I hope I am just worrying too much. If Wei Shan changes his mind, we can all live in peace. If he is greedy, then I won't be able to blame anyone else..."

……

……

Weijiabao.

A woman in her boudoir.

At this moment, Mary was sitting in front of the bed, writing something at the desk.

Her skin was as white as jade, her hands were as soft as catkins, she had a long bun on her head and a graceful figure.

Just from the back, she is a real beauty.

But when you look closer, her face looks extremely ugly.

She has a bulbous nose, one eye, one big and one small, thick lips, and thick eyebrows like a man. She is so ugly that it is almost unbearable to look at!

But her handwriting was so beautiful and graceful that one could tell at a glance that it was written by a lady from a noble family.

This is very inconsistent.

Mary knew from a young age that she was ugly. In order to avoid everyone's strange looks and worldly contempt, she rarely went out.

He has been hiding in the castle.

Little did he know that this was exactly what Wei Shan wanted.

He didn't want Mary to be in the spotlight.

Since she is willing to stay in Weijiabao forever, Wei Shan naturally wants her very much!

So over the years, Mary was immersed in her own world.

She loves reading and writing.

She can play the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and she can also weave and stitch.

It seemed that even if she was isolated from the outside world, she could still live a fulfilling life.

But as she grew older, Mary gradually began to feel romantic.

She began to long for love.

However, Mary is well aware of her appearance.

No man would fancy her.

No one would be willing to marry her.

Fortunately, my adoptive father understands me and has never urged me to get married.

It was as if he had made up his mind to take care of himself for the rest of his life!

But a turning point came more than half a year ago.

Once, she met Chen Xin in the castle, which made her have different thoughts in her mind.

Chen Xin is naturally Chen Xiaohu's elder brother.

Because the Chen family has many brothers and sisters.

Chen Xin only attended private school for a few years before he had to drop out and go home to help his parents.

There were a lot of trees on the mountain, so Chen Xin and his father made some money by logging.

It happened that Weijiabao was purchasing timber again.

After a few visits, Chen Xin became a regular customer of Weijiabao.

Chen Xin is not young anymore, he is twenty-three years old.

He is quite good-looking, and having received a few years of education, he has a bit of a scholarly temperament.

His family was poor, but he worked hard to improve himself.

I have never given up my studies.

Whenever I have some free time, I will study hard.

After a while, Mary noticed him.

Once, Chen Xin came to Weijiabao to deliver wood. While unloading the goods, he recited a poem.

But after a while, it got stuck.

I thought about it for a long time, but couldn't remember the next sentence.

Mary couldn't bear it anymore and reminded him.

Thus, the two of them became connected and began to know each other.

In the end, they gradually fell in love with each other and began to fall in love.

To be honest, Chen Xin was also very concerned about Meili's appearance at the beginning.

But gradually, he discovered that although Mary was ugly, her heart was beautiful.

She is kind-hearted, sensible, virtuous and gentle.

Gradually, Chen Xin let go of all these and began to accept her.

Finally identified this person!
……

……

at the same time.

When Mei Li wrote a letter to Chen Xin.

In the hall of the castle, the castle lord Wei Shan was listening to the report from his capable general Guan Hai with a gloomy face:
"Master, this Chen Xin is the guy who has been delivering wood to us before. He is from Chenjia Village and his family is very poor."

"He has five or six brothers and sisters. His second brother is called Chen Xiaohu. He is currently studying martial arts at the Shaolin Temple. He is a lay disciple."

"It is reported that Chen Xiaohu is a disciple of the Shaolin abbot."

Hearing this, Wei Shan's expression became uncertain and gloomy:
"go on!"

"Three days ago, strangely enough, an imperial edict was sent to the Chen family!"
