The rain murmured.
Qibi Mountain has always been sunny and sunny, and it has not rained so much for a long time.
Cheng Xiezhi sat in the corridor and listened to the rain.
There is no doubt that Shen Hanlang was very angry, even Cheng Xiezhi himself realized that it was only natural for Shen Hanlang to be angry.However, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, and it was a pity that the phoenix who had uttered big words died so easily.
But after Shen Hanlang brought him back, he didn't do anything more extreme.
Maybe it's because it's not in time.
He looked at the red silk hanging from the eaves, the color was smudged in the rain, and the tail was like a gorgeous phoenix feather, winding in the rain and wind.
Because that day on Mount Niwa, he "promised" what the phoenix said, and things... became like this.
The young man in xuanyi came slowly from the corner of the corridor, his brows and eyes were cold, from the brow bone to the temple, showing a three-point indifference.
Cheng Xiezhi tilted his head, playing with a piece of tassel with his fingertips.
"What's matter?"
Speaking of which, this was the first time he met Shen Hanlang after he was taken back to Qibi Mountain.That day Shen Hanlang left him and shut himself in the hall alone, making Cheng Xiezhi wonder if something he did made Shen Hanlang autistic, and he was still hesitating whether to knock on the door, so Shen Hanlang held the wedding banquet Invitations were sent to each fairy gate.
Now Cheng Xiezhi didn't have to think about what happened to Shen Hanlang, he couldn't protect himself, and he was about to be married out of nowhere.
Without saying a word, Shen Hanlang grabbed Cheng Xiezhi's wrist, put something on his wrist bone with a forceful but gentle motion, and rubbed it from the inside of the wrist before slowly releasing it.
Cheng Xiezhi looked down at his wrist.
The light red beads of unknown material glow brilliantly, are polished and rounded, and cling to the skin, the size just fits the size of Cheng Xiezhi's wrist.A crimson streamer can be vaguely seen inside the bead, so beautiful that people cannot take their eyes off it.
He couldn't help raising his eyebrows, thinking, could this be the dowry gift from Shen Hanlang who was about to get married?A joking idea quickly flashed through his mind, but was denied by Cheng Xiezhi.
"what is this?"
Shen Hanlang's warm fingertips were still half on the edge of his wrist, but they had not been completely pulled away.The palms of people who practice swords all the year round have a thin layer of calluses, and when they touch Cheng Xiezhi's skin, they cause a slight tremor.
A deep smile overflowed from his throat, and Shen Hanlang's tone was unclear.
"It's made of phoenix bones."
Cheng Xiezhi: "..."
He tilted his head, and asked earnestly, "Is it the phoenix you killed on Mount Niwa? It turns out that the phoenix bone is red?"
Shen Hanlang raised his eyes and looked at him, the facial features of the young man had gradually opened up, like a long scroll that had finally been carefully carved, finally fully revealing its due elegance.But the innocence in his eyes that has not been stained with the world has never disappeared, and there is a different kind of cruelty at this moment.
Shen Hanlang's heart twitched heavily, and then he smiled nonchalantly, admitting Cheng Xiezhi's guess: "...Yes."
I just don't know whether to answer his former question or the latter.
Cheng Xiezhi flicked the beads on his wrist, imposing some kind of restraint so that it would not fall off easily from his wrist.
After a long time, he said "Oh" slowly, as the end of this conversation.
……
No matter how Cheng Xiezhi himself thinks about the upcoming wedding, all procedures must go according to the established arrangement.
Not a bad step.
Compared with the simple wedding ceremony in the interstellar era, the "marriage" in this world is an extremely cumbersome matter, including as many as hundreds of various procedures, half a year of preparation time may not be enough, like Cheng Xie Because of this hasty but unwilling to streamline the wedding ceremony, many people were busy.
Shen Hanlang was not idle either.
Wild geese are used as tokens in the six rituals of marriage in the human world. Although the fairy gate and the human world are not the same, they are inextricably linked, and many customs of marriage are also inherited in one continuous line.
Shen Hanlang didn't hunt wild geese, but went to Mount Niwa and shot a pair of phoenixes as a dowry gift for Cheng Xiezhi.
The two phoenixes clung to each other closely, their round eyes as clear as glass were full of panic, and they made weak calls when facing humans.
Cheng Xiezhi: "..."
I always feel that Shen Hanlang and Fenghuang have enmity.
He didn't have to worry about anything, he just learned how to feed the two poor little things and comb their tail feathers.
Standing under the corridor of the courtyard, Shen Hanlang watched the two phoenixes approaching Cheng Xiezhi from a distance, his eyes moved, and when Cheng Xiezhi turned his face, he had disappeared around the corner, leaving only a piece of light-colored clothes in sight.
Cheng Xiezhi lowered his eyes, and pointed his finger at the long beaks of the two phoenixes approaching.
"He has a grudge against me."
……
The wedding day came as scheduled.
Qibi Mountain, which has not been opened for a long time, welcomes thousands of guests at a time. The flowing red silk stretches from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain.
The guests entered the table in panic, with tense expressions. If it weren't for the decorations around them, I'm afraid they would have guessed that they were here for a wedding banquet rather than a certain practitioner's funeral.
And Shen Hanlang, who caused the guests to act like this, was putting on auspicious clothes for his marriage partner today.
Cheng Xiezhi stood in the center of the hall, like a marionette being played by Shen Hanlang, with an expression as cold as ice.
On the auspicious clothes, the phoenix circles and entangles with each other, and its long tail feathers are woven with golden threads, shining brightly.The bright red outer garment swayed to the ground, making him feel as if he was in a ball of flames, which was so bright that he couldn't look at him directly.
"Are you angry about what happened at Mount Niwa that day?" Cheng Xiezhi asked.
Shen Hanlang tied the girdle for him before answering him in a low voice: "I'm not angry. On the contrary, I'm very happy."
Cheng Xiezhi blinked.
Yeah?That's really hard to see.
Shen Hanlang just raised his eyes at this moment, and looked at him with a hint of a smile.
"Because you've finally given me a good reason. To do something I've wanted to do a long time ago."
Cheng Xiezhi pursed her lips and remained silent.He didn't understand Shen Hanlang's words, and he didn't know how to answer him.
"very nice."
Shen Hanlang took a step back and said softly.
"But I don't like it."
Cheng Xiezhi opened his mouth.
"I don't want to marry you either."
In fact, getting married did not harm Cheng Xiezhi.Anyway, he is an interstellar citizen, and marriages without the seal of the imperial judicial system are not within the scope of recognition.
As long as Cheng Xiezhi doesn't take it seriously, this matter is not a problem, and it can well offset Shen Hanlang's previous anger.
On careful consideration it does.But Cheng Xiezhi somehow didn't want to do this.
Perhaps it was because Shen Hanlang was forcing him, so he had a rebellious mentality.
Cheng Xiezhi thought.
The smile on Shen Hanlang's lips cooled down slightly, his voice was still as soft as ever, but it was inexplicable in the ears of those who cared.
"But you agreed to that phoenix's marriage proposal—you agreed to be with him after killing me."
The tone of his voice is calm and startling.
Shen Hanlang continued to say in such a light tone: "Now that I killed it, then you belong to me."
"If you don't admit what you said, then let's just assume that the phoenix is too useless, so I snatched you away."
"What do you think of that?"
he asked with a chuckle.
...not really.
So it really was the matter of Mount Niwa that offended Shen Hanlang, right?Cheng Xiezhi's eyes stared at the other party without blinking.
Is he so angry because he likes me?
The young man wrapped in the brilliant flames was a little dazed, and he was thinking incomprehensibly.
too weird.
……
Cheng Xiezhi was led by Shen Hanlang into the main hall, red candles were weeping on the high platform, green peach blossoms were adorned in the wine bottles of the guests, and the fragrance of peach blossoms in the distance floated. Su Ci followed his teacher and sat among the guests, watching with complicated eyes. The only two standing in the lobby.
In terms of appearance, no one can deny that they are a perfect match.It's just that everyone present here today knows that there may not be any mutual affection in this seemingly perfect marriage - there is a lot of commotion on Mount Niwa, and the well-informed Xianmen naturally guessed the cause and effect early in the morning.Shen Hanlang didn't hide it from the outside, everyone knew what he meant, this was a warning to others, warning them not to have any thoughts that they shouldn't have, that phoenix is a lesson from the past.
Su Ci looked at Cheng Xiezhi in a daze.
His complexion was indifferent, his slender eyelashes were slightly rolled up, and he didn't have any joy of getting married. He stood beside Shen Hanlang indifferently, listening to the congratulatory congratulations from the guests.
It is incompatible with the current situation.
The next moment, Cheng Xiezhi's figure was blocked by Shen Hanlang, and his wide crimson sleeves fluttered back to the wind with his movements. The gentle and handsome young man cast his eyes on Su Ci's exact direction, with a warning in his eyes.
Su Ci's whole body was chilled by this look, and he suddenly remembered that when Cheng Xiezhi fled at the Lingtai meeting, Shen Hanlang also looked at him with this kind of gaze—as if he was looking at a dying person.
He suddenly felt cold all over, his heart trembled violently, and he suddenly fell into the abyss.
After a long time, he came back to his senses amidst the teacher's shout, and stiffly picked up the wine glass.
... The possessiveness is so strong that he doesn't even allow him to take a second look.
Su Ci inexplicably felt a subtle pity for Cheng Xiezhi.
The wedding is still going on.
Cheng Xiezhi's body movements were stiffer than Su Ci's, because he was completely forced by Shen Hanlang's power to complete all the rituals.
In front of all the guests, his face was so cold that it was about to freeze.
Anyone can see his reluctance.
But no one dared to stop this ridiculous wedding ceremony.
Jin Wuxi sank.
The long ceremony was finally over, and Cheng Xiezhi got a moment to breathe.
But things weren't quite over yet, and there was a whole long night to go.That was what Cheng Xiezhi had to summon up his energy to deal with.
……
Candles made of shark oil were lit in the wedding room, making the room as bright as day.The red silk gauze was rippling in the moonlight, the longan and lotus seeds, which are commonly used in human weddings, were spread out on the brocade mattress, Cheng Xiezhi stretched out his hand and brushed it, and it splashed all over the ground with a clear and crisp sound.
Shen Hanlang walked over from a few feet away, Cheng Xiezhi's back was tense, like a fully drawn bow, and he looked defensively at Shen Hanlang's black and white eyes.
The ring around his waist made a crisp sound, Shen Hanlang squatted down in front of him, and reached out to grab his dangling calf.
Great power.
Cheng Xiezhi couldn't break free.
He gripped the edge of the bed with his fingers and raised his jaw slightly.
Despite pretending to be calm, Shen Hanlang could easily see the fluster of the young man in front of him.
He sighed almost imperceptibly.
"Don't be afraid. I won't move you."
As he spoke, he slowly let go of his hand, and at the same time, Cheng Xiezhi felt a sudden lightness on his body - the restriction on him was lifted.
"Don't be afraid of me."
Shen Hanlang stared at him seriously, and repeated in a low voice.
