Chapter 83 The show begins

early morning.

A ray of light emerged from the eastern horizon, carefully soaking the light blue sky.

The white clouds are as soft as marshmallows and seem within reach.

Yang Ling rode the cloud leisurely, leading his dog, and felt as comfortable as if he was visiting a friend. He traveled along the way, enjoying the mountains and rivers, and refining spiritual treasures. He arrived at Chentang Pass on the appointed day.

Looking down from a high altitude, one could see the General's Mansion in the center of the city decorated with colorful lights, loud gongs and drums, creating a festive scene.

The people in the city also had smiles on their faces. They walked towards the general's mansion in an endless stream, talking about today's wedding.

Yang Ling smiled slightly. The festive atmosphere made him feel much more relaxed.

He was just about to press down the cloud head when suddenly, the dog next to him let out two low barks, as if reminding him of something.

Yang Ling raised his eyebrows slightly. He knew that Da Huang's sense of smell was extremely sharp, and it had evolved into a unique magical power that allowed him to smell many hidden scents.

Dahuang's eyes were alert, his ears were erect, and his nose was constantly breathing in the air, as if he had caught some familiar and secret breath.

It turned its head and looked at Yang Ling, with a gleam of certainty in its eyes.

"Master Yu Ding?"

Yang Ling frowned slightly.

He knew that Da Huang had met Jade Ding Zhenren once and had long remembered his aura. Unless Jade Ding Zhenren kept his aura restrained, he would be sniffed out immediately if he appeared within a hundred miles of Da Huang.

But why did Jade Ding Zhenren appear in Chentang Pass?

He wouldn't be here to attend the wedding, right?
Yes, he must have come here with Taoist Manjusri!
It won't be long before the Jinzha in Yin Shiniang's belly is born, and it is obvious that Manjusri Taoist is coming for this destined disciple.

Yang Ling thought to himself that if this happened, he would definitely have to meet the two Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect today.

This is bad timing!

Although he had hoped that the two Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect would come out of the cave when they were in the Chaoyang Valley, the same unique environment was no longer available in Chentang Pass.

The grudge between them is very deep now. Maybe the two Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect will take the opportunity to cause trouble for him or plot against him secretly.

No!

It’s such an unpleasant feeling that someone might plot against you at any time!
Yang Ling felt that he couldn't act rashly, and at least he had to make adequate preparations.

Thinking of this, Yang Ling hurriedly took out the Jiujiu Sanhun Gourd, left Chentang Pass directly, and headed south with Dahuang.

"Why is he gone?"

In a quiet and elegant courtyard in Chentang Pass, Jade Ding Zhenren looked at Yang Ling's quickly receding back, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Taoist Manjusri stood quietly in the courtyard, his eyes gazing at the distant horizon through the swaying shadows of the trees.

"Yang Ling and Li Jing and his wife were close friends. His sudden departure must have been delayed by something. He should reappear at an auspicious time.

Junior brother, you don’t have to worry too much.”

Jade Ding Zhenren nodded slightly, with a sneer on his face, "Junior Brother Shen Gongbao will be able to arrive at Chentang Pass with the Four Saints of Jiulong Island today. I can't wait any longer."

Seeing this, Manjusri Taoist frowned slightly and said sternly: "Brother, remember, you and I are trapped in the mortal world, we must not lose our Taoism and let the three poisons of greed, ignorance and anger control our minds!

Otherwise, you will make a big mistake, and even your master won’t be able to save you!"

Upon hearing this, Jade Ding Zhenren's heart suddenly became awe-inspiring, and he quickly recited Huang Ting silently to suppress the hatred and hostility in his heart.

"Thank you for your vigilance, brother!"

...Afternoon
The bride's escort team from Guanjiangkou has arrived outside Chentangguan City, and the festive atmosphere of the wedding is becoming more and more intense.

The Li family has guarded Chentang Pass for generations and is deeply loved by the people. Li Jing, the only son of the Li family, is getting married today, and the people of the entire Chentang Pass are getting excited.

The general's mansion also held a three-day buffet, and anyone could attend.

At this time in the general's mansion, Li Jing, dressed in wedding clothes, was pacing back and forth in the room with a frown on his face.

"It's already this late, why hasn't Brother Yang arrived yet?"

Yin Shiniang, who was also wearing wedding clothes, was unusually gentle and consoled him, "Maybe something delayed him. Don't worry, my husband. There are still two and a half hours until the auspicious time. Since Brother Yang promised to come, he will definitely be there."

"I trust Brother Yang." Li Jing said worriedly, "I'm just worried that he might get into danger..."

Before he finished speaking, Yin Shiniang interrupted with a smile, "Then there is no need to worry. Brother Yang and his wife are both immortals. With their skills, what dangers can they encounter?
Today is our big day, so stop overthinking and focus on preparing for the wedding ceremony... If I had known that getting married would be so troublesome, I shouldn't have believed your lies!"

Li Jing was a little embarrassed and said quickly: "This is our only wedding, so of course we have to make it grand.

"Okay, okay, it seems like it's almost time, I'll take you back to the wedding procession first."

"What a hassle... You don't need to send me back. I can go back by myself."

While muttering, Yin Shiniang rode on the sword, soaring into the sky from the general's mansion, and flew towards the wedding procession outside the city gate, which was anxious because the protagonist had run away.

The poor people of Chentangguan had been looking forward to the arrival of the bride for a long time, but they didn't know that she had already lived in Chentangguan for a long time.

The joyful drums beat and the gongs roared to the sky.

Everyone inside and outside Chentang Pass was immersed in joy and festivity, and various ceremonies were carried out in an orderly manner.

As the sun set and the auspicious time approached, Li Jing finally welcomed Yin Shiniang into the general's mansion.

At this moment, the sky suddenly burst into auspicious light, auspicious clouds floated in, and golden flowers appeared out of thin air in the air, emitting a faint fragrance.

Taoist Manjusri and Jade Ding Zhenren came together, with lotus flowers blooming under their feet and a faint auspicious light surrounding their bodies. They looked like gods, saints, and the most supreme and noble.

The arrival of the two Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect really scared Li Jing and his wife. They hurried forward to greet them, bowed respectfully, and felt a little uneasy in their hearts.

"Don't be surprised, fellow Taoist." Taoist Manjusri showed a warm smile on his face, stretched out his hand and flicked it lightly, and a translucent glass bottle flew in front of Li Jing and his wife.

There were two bright yellow pills in the glass bottle!

"Today my two junior brothers and I have taken the liberty of visiting you. It happens that two Taoist friends are getting married, so we specially present two elixirs to congratulate you." Taoist Manjusri said calmly.

Li Jing and his wife were surprised and delighted, and quickly bowed to express their gratitude.

The guests were talking about it a lot, marveling at it, and they all lamented that the Li family was blessed by the gods and would be blessed for generations to come.

At this moment, the sky suddenly changed color, dark clouds rolled in like ink, and a thunderous roar was faintly heard in the sky.

When everyone looked up, they saw four or five tall figures, each riding on a strange beast, standing above the dark clouds.

Their faces were ferocious and their auras were menacing, like evil spirits descending from the sky.

Li Jing glanced at the two Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect beside him. Seeing that they looked normal, he immediately felt relieved. He looked up at the sky and shouted loudly:

"I am Li Jing, a disciple of Master Du'e from West Kunlun. I wonder who is here to visit me?"

"Li Jing? Never heard of him!"

Above the dark clouds, a tall figure took two steps forward. He had two buns tied up in a bun, and was wearing a bright red suit. His face was as blue as indigo, his hair was like cinnabar, he had fangs on his upper and lower fangs, and he rode a spotted leopard. His voice was like rolling thunder, penetrating the clouds and striking people's hearts:

"We are the Four Saints of Jiulong Island. We are here today to find a human cultivator named Yang Ling!
Who is Yang Ling? Come out to me immediately!"
