The middle-aged man in embroidered clothes with an honest and kind face was Li Xiuyuan's father, Li Maochun!
When Li Maochun saw Li Xiuyuan striding over, he let out a long sigh and quickly went forward to pull Li Xiuyuan back.
"Xiu Yuan, this child, why did you only come now? What if you miss the auspicious time!”
"Alright, master, don't blame fate cultivation.”
A kind-looking woman hurried over from behind.
"After all, it's a major event in his life. He must have been so nervous that he hid.”
"Sigh, just spoil him!"
Li Maochun waved his sleeves and stood behind the stone lion.
Mother Li rolled her eyes at Li Maochun and said unhappily,""You only have one son when you're old. Who else can you dote on if not him?”
"Xiu Yuan, ignore your father. He has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Today is your big day and he is more anxious than anyone else.”
Mother Li held Li Xiuyuan's robe and smiled until the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened. She said amiably,"Come, put on the big red embroidered ball and don't wrinkle your auspicious clothes.”
Li Xiuyuan put on the red embroidered ball and looked deeply at Li Maochun and Mother Li.
He could feel the care the two elders had for him.
"Young Master, the horse is coming!"
Ah Fu pulled a fine horse and came in front of Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at the long line of bridal escorts, reached out and grabbed the reins of the horse. He stepped on the saddle with one foot and flipped onto the horse. His movements were clean and neat.
He clamped the saddle between his legs and cupped his fists at Li Maochun and Mother Li."Father! Mother! I'm going to pick up the bride!"
Li Maochun, who was behind the stone lion, turned around. His deliberately tense face could not help but smile.
"Alright, hurry up and go. Don't miss the auspicious time and let that in-law wait for too long.”
Mother Li nodded." My son has grown up. Be careful on the road."”
"Good!"
Li Xiuyuan nodded, pulled the reins, and rode to the middle of the bridal procession.
"Let's go!"
Following Li Xiuyuan's order, the bridal procession began to play and sing.
There was a long queue.
All of them were dressed in bright red gowns. They were dressed up in a festive manner and it was very lively.
The villagers of Tian Ning County all walked onto the streets, craning their necks to look around and exclaiming.
"What a spectacular wedding procession."
"As expected of Minister Li's young master.”
"Minister Li is a well-known good person. His son is also a talented person. I wonder which family's daughter is lucky enough to marry into the Li residence.”
"I heard that the county magistrate has already prepared a congratulatory gift and is preparing to pay a visit to the Li family's wedding banquet.”
As the villagers discussed, they craned their necks to see what the groom looked like.
They did not notice that a young monk in white monk robes had appeared in the crowd.
The monk was Fahai from Jinshan Temple.
Fahai had just arrived in Tianning County today and had already encountered such a joyous event. He asked the blacksmith beside him curiously,"Patron, who's getting married? It's too extravagant and wasteful.”
"If you have this spare money, why don't you donate it to the temple and let the Buddhist Sect flourish and accumulate Yin virtue?”
The blacksmith's eyes widened.
He picked up the iron hammer in his hand, wishing he could blow up Fahai's bald head. He said angrily,"Where did this big monk come from? It's fine if he doesn't recognize Young Master Li, but he actually dares to point fingers at Minister Li's money?”
"Why should I donate my spare money to the Buddhist Sect?”
"When Minister Li was doing good deeds, you were probably still in your mother's womb!”
"You!"
Fahai's eyes widened in anger.
He raised his palm with one hand and suppressed his anger. He lowered his head and chanted the name of Buddha."Amitabha, I misspoke.”
"Patron, you said that the groom is the young master of the Li family. May I know his name?”
The blacksmith snorted and turned his head away, ignoring Fahai.
"Master often says that mortals in the secular world are like uncivilized livestock. They are barbaric and rude and need Buddhism to be enlightened. This Penniless Monk has finally seen it today.”
Fahai thought to himself.
Helpless, he could only find someone else to ask for the groom's name.
When he found out that the groom was the Arhat he was looking for, he was shocked.
"Li Xiuyuan is the Son of Buddha. How can he marry and have children like a mortal and break his lust precepts?”
"No, we have to stop him from getting married!"
Fahai spun the Buddha Beads with one hand, and his eyes flickered as he prepared to cast a Buddhist spell.
Fahai stopped his spell casting again when he saw the crowd around him and the villagers surrounding the matchmaking team and cheering loudly.
"There are too many mortals right now, so it's not suitable for us to act. Let's wait until they leave Ning County.”
Fahai casually made a hand seal and hid his figure, silently following behind the bridal procession.
At this moment.
Li Xiuyuan sat on his horse and had a much higher view than ordinary people.
Looking at the long procession of bridal escorts, and then looking around at the surrounding commoners, he suddenly felt as if a horse was riding on Chang 'an, and he felt very happy.
"No wonder the auspicious clothing on your body is also called the top scorer's clothing. It really has the carefree and joy of a top scorer in a high school in the capital's imperial examination.”
Li Xiuyuan held the reins with one hand. As the horses galloped, his mood became better.
The bridal procession played music and sang along the way.
The villagers only stopped when they left Tian Ning County.
The bridal procession stepped onto the county road that was covered with dry soil, surrounded by weeds that were half the height of a person.
Suddenly.
A gust of wind blew past, causing the weeds to fall. The bridal procession fell into chaos for a short while.
Li Xiuyuan covered his face with his sleeves to prevent the wind and sand from blinding his eyes.
When he put down his sleeves, he saw a white-robed monk descend from the sky and land steadily in front of the bridal procession.
" Monk in front, move aside!" Li Xiuyuan shouted." You're standing in the middle of the county road and blocking our way!"”
Fahai was unmoved. He raised his palm and chanted,""Amitabha. This poor monk, Fahai, is here on the orders of the Buddha to receive you and convert to Buddhism!”
" Fa…Fa Hai!?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting on the horse, was stunned.
Wasn't Fahai a character in the White Lady?
Why did he appear in this world?
Wait a minute.
"I'm Li Xiuyuan, a monk who became a monk halfway through. Could it be that I was guided by Fahai and converted to Buddhism before becoming the Living Buddha, Ji Gong?”
Li Xiuyuan's mind spun.
However, he knew that the current world was definitely different from the folklore he knew.
After all, Fahai and Ji Gong were not legendary figures from the same period and story!
In a few breaths, Li Xiuyuan came back to his senses and shook his head."Fahai, I think you've misunderstood.”
"Misunderstanding?"
"My name is indeed Li Xiuyuan, but I'm definitely not some Buddhist Son.”
Fahai frowned and replied," Li Xiuyuan, I have brought the holy monk's decree. This is a revelation from the Buddha of the Western Heaven. The Buddha is from Tianning County, Lin 'an Prefecture. His name is Li Xiuyuan. There is no mistake."”
When Li Xiuyuan saw this, he was instantly furious.
What was the difference between Fahai's behavior and a deadbeat who stopped a wedding car to ask for money?
Li Xiuyuan was furious and said coldly,""You monk, I already said that I'm not a Buddhist Son, and I don't want to convert to Buddhism and become a monk!”
"Please leave quickly. Don't delay our auspicious time!”
Seeing that Li Xiuyuan was unmoved, Fahai immediately shouted,""Cultivator of fate, you are the Son of Buddha and bear the heavy responsibility of saving the common people. Quickly follow This Penniless Monk to become a monk and cultivate!”
