Although the autumn weather was clear and refreshing, the sun today was a little scorching. The dogs either ran to the shade of the trees or went to the base of the wall. They stuck out their tongues and were very annoyed. The autumn cicadas on the trees seemed to be unable to stand the heat as they cried endlessly, unwilling to stop.
However, as a seven-foot tall, muscular man walked past, carrying four gift boxes. The autumn cicadas on the tree suddenly stopped chirping as if someone had suddenly pinched their necks. The dogs under the tree and the wall also retracted their tongues. They tucked their tails tightly between their legs and covered their eyes with their paws. They lay on the ground, looking very funny.
That burly man was naturally Zhu Tian. He had come here to resolve his inner demons and marry into his family! The reason why the dogs and cicadas behaved like this was because they instinctively sensed the terrifying pressure of the Demon-Gathering Banner. Naturally, they did not dare to move at all. Therefore, it was not without reason that the old monk said that once the demon-gathering banner was out, the demons would bow their heads.
In fact, Zhu Tian had hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he still decided to make this trip. Firstly, he had to come to resolve his inner demons. Secondly, he had already gone to the Western Heaven to obtain scriptures and had a clone to replace him. It was not a big deal to come here and marry into his family. Thirdly…it was a little mysterious. This woman looked so similar to Chang'e, yet she had a marriage partner with him. He wanted to see her but didn't want to, but he had no choice. He wanted to marry her, but he didn't want to marry her, but he had no choice. The conflicting feelings, pain, anticipation, helplessness…Tsk tsk, it was really hard to describe.
Zhu Tian came to the door of a manor and coughed twice. He straightened his collar and flicked the non-existent dust off his clothes before knocking on the door.
The door was half open, and a child poked his head out. When he saw the burly man outside, he was shocked. She hurriedly retracted her head and slammed the door shut.
Zhu Tian stretched out a finger and gently pressed it against the door. He said lightly,""Little brother, don't panic. I'm not a bad person. I just want to ask, is this the residence of Old Lady Gao?”
When the child saw that Zhu Tian only used one finger to block the door, he could not help but be shocked and impressed. Zhu Tian's voice was gentle and didn't seem to have any ill intentions, so he calmed down a little. He stuck his head out again, only revealing his eyes. He glanced at Zhu Tian and asked timidly,""This is Old Grand Duke Gao's residence. Who are you? Why are you here?"
Zhu Tian smiled and said," That's good. I'm from Fuling Mountain. My name is Zhu Ganglie. I have no parents, no brothers, and no roots. I heard that your family is looking for a live-in son-in-law, so I came to give it a try!”
When the child heard this, he was no longer afraid. He opened the door and said with a smile,"So you came to marry into my family. You gave me a fright. I thought you were…Hehe, wait a moment. I'll go and inform Great Grandfather if he has time to see you.”
The youth wanted to leave after saying that, but he was pulled back by Zhu Tian. He secretly handed over an ingot of silver and smiled,"This is a small token of my appreciation. I don't need anything else. I just want to put in a good word for you in front of your grandfather.”
The youth was first shocked, then delighted. Seeing that there was no one around, he quickly put it away in his sleeve. He then looked at Zhu Tian and smiled,"I didn't expect you to be so strong and powerful, but you have such a delicate heart." Hehe, thank you, big brother…"
After a while, the young man ran out of the door with a happy expression and said,"It's done! Brother, you have to thank me properly. You have to know that there are many people who have come to visit recently. You don't have any backing, so Great Grandfather didn't want to see you. It was I who said all kinds of good things and praised you that Taigong agreed.”
Zhu Tian laughed secretly in his heart. It would be strange if this didn't happen, what does it have to do with you? If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to pass it in one go and didn't want to waste time and energy, why would he waste time talking nonsense with a plant person like you?
But of course, he wouldn't say that. He handed over another silver ingot and smiled,""Thank you, thank you! If this matter succeeds, I will definitely not treat you unfairly in the future.”
The young man happily accepted the silver and quickly led Zhu Tian into the house. When he led Zhu Tian to the Great Grandfather, he went to hide the silver and was secretly happy.
After seeing Zhu Tian, the Great Grandfather was quite satisfied with his well-built body. He invited him to sit down and asked about his hometown, name, age, and so on.
Zhu Tian repeated what he had just said, then brought out four gifts and presented them to Tai Gong.
Seeing that Zhu Tian had no roots and knew his place, Tai Gong couldn't help but feel happy. However, in order to test his character again, she deliberately said angrily,"Take it away! Think about it, my residence has everything, how could I lack such mundane things like you? Besides, I haven't agreed yet. How can I accept your things?”
Zhu Tian said respectfully," Please forgive me, Grand Duke. I know that the Grand Duke's Residence doesn't lack these things, but this is the first time I'm here. How can I come empty-handed?" Besides, it was just a little token of appreciation. It was nothing. Even if Great Grandfather doesn't agree, I won't complain!”
Tai Gong nodded and said happily,""In that case, stay for dinner. I'll test you again. If you can satisfy my heart, I'll just recruit you as my son-in-law.”
Zhu Tian laughed inwardly. How could this matter at the wine table stump him? It was just a common meal.
When the two of them sat down at the dining table, Zhu Tian did not wait for Tai Gong to ask questions and began to quote classics and discuss the past and present. It was said that flowers were falling from the sky and golden lotuses were surging on the ground. For a moment, Taigong was dumbstruck and shocked.
Before the banquet had even ended, the Great Grandfather had already started calling him son-in-law. Zhu Tian naturally followed suit and called him father-in-law.
So the matter was settled.
The two of them agreed to get married three days later. All the affairs would be handled by Taigong. Zhu Tian only needed to marry into the family alone. There was no need to worry about anything else.
Zhu Tian went back and told him. The old monk pondered for a long time before slowly saying,"That's good too. I was worried that you've suddenly gained so much magic power, but your own realm is still too far away. Although your foundation is deep, I'm afraid it will be a little inappropriate in the future. However, if you can pass this tribulation, your cultivation will definitely improve greatly. In this way, there would be no trouble in the future, but instead, it would be a blessing! It's just that the inner demons are invisible and will come with a single thought. Before you can even sense it, they will already form a demonic barrier. You have also…Forget it, forget it. I'll give you another great magic treasure to protect yourself!”
Zhu Tian was overjoyed. He didn't expect that the old monk would still have a large magic treasure in his inventory. This time, it was really a blessing in disguise.
The old monk took out a copper bell that was about a foot long and stroked it for a long time before handing it over to Zhu Tian with a sigh. Then, he said with a sigh,"This item is called the Eastern Emperor Bell, and it's a treasure that my father used to cultivate! The power was incredible! It was even several times more powerful than the Demon Gathering Banner. It was like the Taiji Diagram in the hands of the Elder Lord and the Pangu Banner in the hands of the Origin. It was a supreme Connate cardinal treasure that could split the world and suppress the Primordial Chaos!
Unfortunately, the battle between the Sorcerer and Demon race was too intense. The Ancestors of Sorcery did not hesitate to destroy their bodies and souls and took turns to self-destruct. Not only did they cause my father to die on the spot, but even this treasure was also greatly damaged! If my father hadn't used a supreme technique to break open the void and send this magic treasure directly to me when he died, this treasure would have definitely fallen into the hands of the Wu people. "After that, I searched the three worlds and used countless methods to repair this treasure, but in the end, my efforts were in vain. I could only cry out in vain!”
[PS: Arashi, Leopard II, I'm very happy to see you again. I'm also very emotional.] If it weren't for your support, I might not have been able to finish the first book. So…I can only give you some essence now. But if I can one day, I will think of a way to repay you. " I also want to thank Sect Leader Minghe. You're the first person to recommend me, so I'm extremely grateful.
