Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

If Li Xiuyuan disagrees, he'll have nowhere to turn for help.

Meanwhile, in the Heartless Cave, Rouge sat in front of the bronze mirror. After looking at her own appearance, she picked up a piece of red paper from the table, put it in her mouth twice, and made her lips appear redder and more vibrant.

In ancient times, there was no lipstick, so this was the only option!

Rouge recalled her wedding with him twenty years ago, and all that remained was grievance and pain. She couldn't help but feel extremely resentful. If it weren't for Li Xiuyuan's persuasion, she probably would have killed him on the day of the wedding!

Now, Yan Zhi was thinking about the wedding and couldn't help but be a little lost in thought!

Li Xiuyuan stood in the meditation room. At this moment, Lingyin Temple was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. Red silk cloth covered the entire temple, resembling a red cloud that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Li Xiuyuan looked at the red wedding dress she was wearing, with beautiful lace embroidered on the cuffs and a white silk undergarment underneath. Her hair was neatly combed together, and on the table was the groom's top hat.

Because of the short time, everything was kept simple. Everyone at Lingyin Temple was very excited. Although these guys were monks, they were still quite young and seemed to be looking forward to the wedding in the temple. They had never seen anything like it before.

The monks in the temple were all adopted as children. Although they felt it was wrong for monks to get married, it was more understandable when it came to Li Xiuyuan, because Lingyin Temple had flourished under his leadership all these years.

Furthermore, since it was a monk getting married, Li Xiuyuan didn't want anyone to know, so the pilgrims from the foot of the mountain who wanted to come up would have to wait three days.

At the foot of the mountain, Li Xiuyuan had set up an illusion array so that no one else would notice. In addition, the wedding procession also set off from there.

The Heartless Cave is over a hundred miles away from here. If one were to walk, it would probably be too late to get there before nightfall.

Therefore, Li Xiuyuan took eight monks and flew over directly, having them carry a sedan chair to the outside of Wuxin Cave, where he brought Yanzhi over and had her sit in the sedan chair.

Only Rouge was in the Heartless Cave, and everything was kept simple. After Li Xiuyuan led his men there, they returned immediately.

Li Xiuyuan led everyone back to Lingyin Temple high in the sky. Such a commotion was only possible because of his profound magical power; otherwise, many people would have seen it.

Meanwhile, the music of the Eight-Tone Ensemble in Lingyin Temple began, and the drums and gongs resounded, congratulating the arrival of the bride.

In addition, almost all the monks in the temple, except for the old monk, were present, and they were considered guests. Li Xiuyuan did not invite the rest of them.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan walked to the bridal sedan chair. Thinking of the bride inside, his heart couldn't help but flutter, and he opened the curtain.

Then Rouge emerged from within, wearing a bright red silk dress with a low neckline that revealed her full breasts. Her face was like a lotus flower, her eyebrows like willow branches, and her eyes, more alluring than peach blossoms, were incredibly captivating. Her skin was as white as snow.

Chapter 260 Three great joys in life

Then Rouge emerged from within, wearing a bright red silk dress with a low neckline that revealed her full breasts. Her face was like a lotus blossom, her eyebrows like willow branches, and her eyes, more alluring than peach blossoms, were incredibly captivating. Her skin was as white as snow.

She wore her hair in a high bun, the gold beads on her forehead gleaming dazzlingly in the sunlight, and her bright red lips were slightly upturned—what an absolutely beautiful woman.

Although the bridal veil obscured Rouge's face, making it difficult for outsiders to see through her, it still couldn't escape Li Xiuyuan's discerning eyes. Thinking that their wedding was approaching, his heart couldn't help but flutter.

After Li Xiuyuan took the rouge, the two stood outside the main hall. Guangliang said loudly, "First bow to Heaven and Earth."

As they spoke, Li Xiuyuan and Yanzhi exchanged glances, and seemingly in perfect unison, bowed to heaven and earth at the same time.

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

At this moment, Guangliang shouted, but suddenly Biqing interrupted, saying, "Uncle-Master, we don't have any elders here."

As they spoke, the two seemed a little lost, wondering what to do without their parents.

At this moment, Guangliang had a sudden inspiration and said, "If we don't have any elders, then let's worship Buddha!"

"Bowing to Buddha twice!"

Guangliang shouted.

Upon hearing this, Rouge's expression changed, and she said coldly, "What Buddha am I supposed to worship? He has caused me twenty years of suffering. I absolutely refuse to worship him."

As she spoke, her icy tone sent chills down one's spine.

Guangliang shuddered upon hearing this, thinking of the poison pills that had been placed on his body. Now, whatever Rouge said was the truth.

Guangliang said repeatedly, "Alright, we won't worship Buddha."

"Couple greetings!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up. He looked at Yanzhi beside him, and the two bowed to each other, thus concluding the wedding ceremony.

"Send...send them to the bridal chamber!"

Guangliang shouted, and then someone brought Rouge into the meditation room of Lingyin Temple so that she could stay there temporarily, while Li Xiuyuan dealt with the monks.

After seeing Yan Zhi leave, Guang Liang asked, "Damn Dao Ji, where's my antidote?"

As he spoke, he was very anxious. No one would feel good if their life was in someone else's hands! Guangliang was no exception. After the two finished their wedding, he pressed for the antidote.

Guangliang didn't dare to ask Yanzhi for anything because he had been severely reprimanded. The main reason he dared to ask Li Xiuyuan for it was that the two of them were, after all, fellow disciples.

Even if Guangliang angered Li Xiuyuan, he would only get a scolding at most!

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he chuckled, "Why are you in such a hurry? Rouge just said that she would give you the antidote after our wedding night."

As he spoke, he casually made up an excuse. In reality, the poison pill that Guangliang had ingested was just something Yan Zhi casually mentioned; there was no such thing at all.

Of course, Guangliang must never know about this.

"what?"

"Daoji, you're not really going to consummate your marriage with that vixen, are you?"

Guangliang was shocked to hear this. The thought of Daoji getting married at Lingyin Temple and being able to consummate the marriage made him feel envious and jealous.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said, "Do you think I wanted to? I wouldn't have done this if it weren't to save you!"

As he spoke, even he felt he was being dishonest.

"Thank you so much, junior brother! Thank you so much, junior brother!"

Guangliang laughed when he heard this. Although he was a little envious, he absolutely did not want Li Xiuyuan to escape, otherwise who would he ask for the antidote?

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "You know how good I am!"

He paused for a moment, then added, "Alright, let's go have a couple of drinks on this joyous occasion!"

After saying that, he invited everyone to drink.

"Alright! Today is the wedding day of Uncle Daoji, everyone at Lingyin Temple may drink."

Bi Qing said with a smile that they had arrived in the backyard, where the monks of Lingyin Temple were celebrating for Li Xiuyuan.

However, although it's said that drinking is allowed, no one actually dares to drink, fearing repercussions later.

Although Li Xiuyuan's wedding was simple, and there wasn't even any meat on the tables in the courtyard, the monks still enjoyed it very much because they hadn't eaten breakfast.

After drinking two cups of wine, Li Xiuyuan bid farewell to everyone. As the saying goes, "A moment of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold!" He was unwilling to linger any longer.

..............................................

The three great joys in life are: meeting an old friend in a foreign land, passing the imperial examination with flying colors, and the wedding night.

Li Xiuyuan's age across his two lifetimes adds up to forty or fifty years, but this is his first time having a wedding night, not counting his previous incarnation and Rouge's.

Thinking of their wedding night, Li Xiuyuan quickened his pace and called out as he pushed open the door, "Rouge."

After saying that, he walked over and sat on the headboard.

Upon hearing this, Rouge's heart pounded, her face flushed, and she whispered, "Mmm!"

As she spoke, her face turned even redder.

Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly upon hearing this. He reached out and removed Rouge's bridal veil, revealing her eyebrows like emerald feathers, her skin like sheep's fat, her face like a peach blossom in full bloom, and her hair piled high like golden phoenix threads. Her eyes were bright and alluring, her figure captivating. Her slender figure was graceful and charming. A red silk sash fluttered, its colors vibrant, and her high-set hairpin adorned with pearls and jade gleamed.

When Rouge's beauty was revealed to Li Xiuyuan, he was momentarily captivated.

When Rouge saw the silly Li Xiuyuan, her heart felt as sweet as honey. This time, he didn't run away, but actually spent his wedding night with her. Although he had run away twenty years ago, she had forgotten about it after they got married again.

As Li Xiuyuan said, he was not in control of his own destiny at that time, and Yanzhi was a magnanimous person. In addition, Li Xiuyuan sincerely admitted his mistake, so they naturally forgot about it.

Rouge said shyly, "Xiuyuan has come to his senses. We should drink the nuptial wine together."

As she spoke, her face glowed as brightly as a flower.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan snapped out of his daze and replied, "Alright, Rouge, let's drink the nuptial wine together."

As he spoke, he poured two glasses of wine from the table and brought them over, saying, "Here you go."

Chapter 261 Wedding Night

Upon hearing this, Rouge took the wine cup. The two looked at each other, their eyes meeting, and fed each other wine.

After a while, the two finished their wine. Li Xiuyuan gazed at Rouge's delicate face and said softly, "My wife, we should rest now!"

"Ok!"

talking

The next day, Rouge had a slender waist, cascading black hair, and an exquisite face.

With a soft moan, the beauty finally opened her eyes. Her face was radiant with affection as she gazed at Li Xiuyuan and said gently, "Husband!"

As she spoke, she was afraid that this was just a dream and that he would disappear when she woke up.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled and replied, "Yes! You're not fully recovered yet, so you don't need to get up."

After saying that, he stood up and straightened his clothes, thinking that Guangliang had been waiting outside for too long and couldn't wait any longer.

Rouge blushed slightly upon hearing this and replied shyly, "Okay!"

As she spoke, she perfectly complied with Li Xiuyuan's words.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan is still a monk, with no elders and no need to serve tea. Last night, Rouge withstood Li Xiuyuan's battle on her own, so she was naturally exhausted and needed a good rest.

Li Xiuyuan walked out of the house looking refreshed. At that moment, Guangliang rushed over and shouted, "Hey, Daoji, where's my antidote!"
