My Senior Brother Turned Black After I Died. Chapter 51
byChapter 51 Chapter 51 Senior brother, I’m sorry
When Ji Hantong arrived at Lingxu Peak, Shen Lanchuan was standing in the center of the room, holding up two pieces of cloth in his hands, gesturing towards the sun.
Ji Hantong coughed lightly and walked over: “Senior brother.”
Shen Lanchuan turned around and saw Ji Hantong, and his eyes lit up instantly.
“Hantong?” Shen Lanchuan put down the cloth in his hand and walked to Ji Hantong in a few steps, “Why are you here? Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”
Ji Hantong looked at Shen Lanchuan, looked at the eyes full of him, and suddenly didn’t know what to say.He lowered his head and whispered: “I heard that you are preparing wedding clothes…”
Shen Lanchuan smiled and took Ji Hantong’s hand and said, “You’re just in time, come and see which material you like?”
Ji Hantong was pulled by Shen Lanchuan to a pile of fabrics.
Red, gold, dark green, and moon-white ones were piled up on the table.These materials are valuable at first glance, and they glow with a faint aura in the sunlight.
Ji Hantong was dazzled and didn’t know which one to choose.
Shen Lanchuan didn’t rush him, just stood aside and looked at Ji Hantong quietly.
After a while, Ji Hantong pointed to the piece of red and gold brocade: “This…”
Shen Lanchuan spoke softly: “Do you like this?”
Ji Hantong nodded, then shook his head: “I like it, but…”
“But what?”
“But wouldn’t it be too grand?” Ji Hantong whispered, “It’s just a contract…”
Shen Lanchuan looked at him, the smile in his eyes getting deeper.
“Just a contract?” He repeated, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, “Hantong, do you know what the contract ceremony means?”
Ji Hantong blinked.
Shen Lanchuan reached out and gently held Ji Hantong’s hand.
“It means that from now on, you are my person, and I am your person.” Shen Lanchuan said word by word, “It means that we share life span and share the cause and effect. It means that no matter what happens, we will be together.”
“Is this called ‘just a contract’?”
Ji Hantong was stunned.Sharing longevity and sharing karma, he had never thought about this. It turned out that forming a contract meant so much.
“Senior brother…” Ji Hantong’s voice was trembling, “I think it’s better to think about it again.”
Ji Hantong knew that his death was coming, and his longevity was running out, so he did not want to implicate Shen Lanchuan.
If he knew that he would still behave like this after becoming a Taoist couple, he would never agree to his senior brother.
Shen Lanchuan could see that he was a little scared, and knew that this matter could not be urgent, so the top priority was to trick Xiao Mu first, so he comforted him: “Hantong, don’t put too much pressure on me, I just said that, if you just form a Taoist couple contract, you will not share the longevity.” But after the formation, it is not up to Xiao Mu, what he wants to do, such as the contract of concentricity, the life and death contract, all of them.
“That’s it, that’s good.” Ji Hantong felt relieved.
Shen Lanchuan smiled, turned around, picked up the red and gold brocade from the table, and handed it to Ji Hantong’s hand.
“Just this one, I’ll have it made into a wedding dress. It will look good on you.”
Ji Hantong held the piece of cloth and felt that his palms were getting hot.
“When is our wedding date?” Ji Hantong asked.
Shen Lanchuan paused, and then said: “The sixth day of the first lunar month.”
Ji Hantong’s eyes widened in surprise: “On the sixth day of the first lunar month, aren’t there only a few days left?”
“Originally I decided to go to the third grade of junior high school,” Shen Lanchuan said with a smile, “but after thinking about it, I still have to give some people time to come over.”
Ji Hantong: “…” Isn’t this too fast?
“Senior brother,” Ji Hantong’s voice was a little hollow, “Is this too fast?”
Shen Lanchuan looked at him and asked seriously: “Don’t you want to?”
“I…” Ji Hantong paused and whispered, “I either don’t want to, or I just can’t react.”
Shen Lanchuan was silent for a moment, then he stretched out his hand and gently took Ji Hantong into his arms.
“Hantong, can you please be considerate of me?” Shen Lanchuan’s voice came from above his head, with a hint of sigh.
I have been waiting for this day for more than four hundred years.
Ji Hantong was a little confused, but seeing that his senior brother was not in a high mood, he still said, “Then…then the sixth day of the first lunar month?”
“Okay.” Shen Lanchuan hugged him tighter with satisfaction, and his little wood was indeed soft-hearted.
Ji Hantong paused and then added in a low voice: “But I don’t understand anything. If we start preparations now, it should be in time on the sixth day of the lunar month.”
Shen Lanchuan was stunned for a moment and then nodded his head with a chuckle: “I don’t expect you to be stupid. You don’t have to worry about anything. You are only responsible for showing up that day.”
“Senior brother!” Ji Hantong bit him on the shoulder with enthusiasm.
In the next few days, disciples would come in and out of Lingxu Peak and Cangwu Peak every day.Immortal Master Mingshu is very wealthy. Not only is he planning to buy a ten-day running mat in Taixuan Dao Sect, but he is also providing money to provide porridge to some towns that have been hit by disasters, so as to make the whole world of cultivators partake in their happiness.
As he said, Shen Lanchuan didn’t let Ji Hantong worry about anything. He did many things himself.
But Ji Hantong looked at his senior brother and felt that he was quite enjoying it.
Ji Hantong sat under the eaves with his head propped up and watched quietly as Shen Lanchuan directed his disciples to go about their business, but there was a faint sense of panic in his heart, as if something big was about to happen.
On the night of the fifth day of the first lunar month, Shen Lanchuan happily ran over and gave Ji Hantong a storage ring.
“What is this?” Ji Hantong put it on his hand and compared it.
“The betrothal gift contains all my wealth,” Shen Lanchuan said with a smile on his face, “It’s my fault that I didn’t hire Xiaomu.”
Ji Hantong originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it he accepted it, then ran into the house and took out a ring.
“Then this is my dowry,” he pushed the storage ring into Shen Lanchuan’s hand without any explanation, “You are not allowed to refuse.”
“Okay, I won’t refuse.” Shen Lanchuan immediately put the ring on his hand.
“Little wood,” he rubbed Ji Hantong’s finger with the ring on it, smiling, “you will be my Taoist companion in a few hours, I’m really looking forward to it.”
“Senior brother, I will definitely live up to you.”
*
Before dawn on the sixth day of the first lunar month, the seventy-two peaks of Taixuan Taoism were already brightly lit.
On Cangwu Peak, Ji Hantong was still in a daze when he was fished out of bed by the deacon who came to help.
“Senior Brother Yu Heng, get up quickly. Today is a day of great joy for you and Senior Brother Mingshu. We can’t delay the auspicious moment.”
Ji Hantong was pinned in front of the bronze mirror in a daze, while several female cultivators rushed out and worked on his head and face.
He yawned and looked at the face in the mirror, which was gradually becoming more and more delicately decorated, still feeling a little dazed.
Today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and he is really going to marry his senior brother.
Ji Hantong’s face turned red as soon as this thought came up.
“Oh, Immortal Yuheng is blushing! Are you thinking of Immortal Mingshu?” A female cultivator teased.
“I’m afraid Immortal Lord can’t wait any longer. Sisters, let’s hurry up and don’t destroy our Baihua Tower sign.”
“Don’t worry, Immortal Yuheng, we will dress you up beautifully to marry Immortal Mingshu.”
Ji Hantong: “…”
An hour later, Ji Hantong was finally taken care of.He stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at the person in the mirror, somewhat afraid to recognize him.
The layers of bright red and gold-woven wedding clothes made Ji Hantong’s already fair complexion look even more radiant and jade-like.The girdle is tucked in just right, outlining a slender and straight figure.All the hair was tied up and fixed with a white jade hairpin, with a thin golden tassel hanging from the hairpin, gently swaying with Ji Hantong’s movements.
The cinnabar mole at the end of the eye becomes more vivid under the makeup, like a gorgeous ruby.
“Immortal Yuheng is so beautiful.” A female cultivator praised sincerely.
Ji Hantong’s face turned red again, feeling that the temperature on his face had not dropped since today.He coughed lightly and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.
“Come on, come on! Immortal Lord Mingshu is here!”
Ji Hantong’s heart skipped a beat and he turned around to look at the door.
The door was pushed open.
Shen Lanchuan stood outside the door and looked straight at Ji Hantong.He also put on the bright red and gold wedding dress, which matched the one worn by Ji Hantong.
Ji Hantong had obviously seen Shen Lanchuan wearing red at the lantern festival in Luo City, but he just felt that the wedding dress at this time was much more beautiful than the one at that time.
Ji Hantong felt a little embarrassed when Shen Lanchuan saw him, lowered his head and whispered: “Senior brother…”
Shen Lanchuan walked to and stood in front of Ji Hantong, stretched out his hand and gently lifted Ji Hantong’s chin, asking him to raise his head.
Those eyes were so close, filled with my own shadow.
“It’s beautiful.” Shen Lanchuan whispered, his voice a little hoarse, “My little piece of wood is so beautiful.”
Ji Hantong muttered in a low voice: “Senior brother is also good-looking…”
Shen Lanchuan smiled. He took Ji Hantong’s hand and intertwined their fingers.
“I’m here to pick you up, little wood.”
*
The contract formation ceremony is held at the main peak of Taixuan Tao Sect.
When Shen Lanchuan appeared at the top of the mountain holding Ji Hantong’s hand, the crowd who had been waiting there burst into cheers.
Ji Hantong was startled by the formation.
So spectacular.From the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, it was crowded with people. Most of the prominent figures in the world of cultivation were here.
Xin Xuezhen put on a brand new robe and stood at the front of the crowd to entertain the guests. He smiled brightly. Everyone could feel the joy on his body. Even some monks who just wanted to go through the motions were infected by Xin Xuezhen and began to feel happy for Ji Hantong and Shen Lanchuan from the bottom of their hearts.
The people from the Immortal Alliance seemed to have arrived a little late. Xu Jinan and his people had just arrived. Xin Xuezhen led Xu Jinan and others to sit down.
Mo Wuyi stood to one side with Xiaoxue Yunhu. Next to him stood several elders of Lan Yue Sect, talking in low voices.
The great elder of Qingyun Mountain also came, and when he saw Ji Hantong’s eyes, he nodded slightly and said hello.
Ye Hanjiang of Guixu Sect and Lu Yanci of Tianji Pavilion were sitting in a secluded corner drinking tea, with faint smiles on their lips.
No one came to Zichen Valley.Yes, Shen Lanchuan only sent a letter to Zichen Valley, but he didn’t send them an invitation at all.
As for other people from small sects, no matter what they thought about this contract ceremony, their faces were full of smiles at this moment.
It can be said that this is the most lively contract formation ceremony in the cultivation world in the past thousand years.
*
They didn’t cover their heads, and they didn’t take any red silk.It was just Shen Lanchuan who led Ji Hantong step by step towards the high altar in the center of the peak.
There was an incense table on the altar. On the incense table were two cups of wine, a stick of incense, and a golden deed.
The two stood in front of the altar.
Xin Xuezhen stepped forward, cleared his throat, and said loudly:
“The auspicious time has come. Thank you all for coming to Taixuan Dao Sect. Now, the bonding ceremony between Mingshu Immortal Lord Shen Lanchuan and Yuheng Immortal Lord Ji Hantong has officially begun!”
Cheers sounded again.
Xin Xuezhen raised his hand and pressed it down. After the crowd calmed down, he continued:
“Worship the heaven and the earth——”
Ji Hantong took a deep breath and turned to face the world together with Shen Lanchuan.He lowered his head and was about to salute——
“Warning! Warning!”
A sharp alarm suddenly sounded in his mind.
Ji Hantong froze.
“Host! Something’s wrong!” System 0621’s voice sounded more panicked than ever before, “Li Cangming is in danger! He is in a life-or-death crisis! You must save him immediately!”
Ji Hantong was stunned.
Isn’t Li Cangming at the venue?Shouldn’t he stay well in the sect?How could you be in danger?
“It’s too late to explain!” System 0621’s voice was extremely urgent. “The progress check just now said that the plot of your death to save Li Cangming is today. I don’t know why the time has been advanced so much, but you must rush there immediately, otherwise the plot will collapse and the world will collapse!”
Ji Hantong’s face turned pale instantly.
At this moment, the jade talisman Ji Hantong carried around his waist suddenly trembled violently.That was the talisman he left for Li Cangming.
Once Li Cangming encounters a life-or-death crisis, he will sense it if he crushes the jade talisman.
And now, the jade talisman is trembling crazily.
Ji Hantong froze in place.
The whole place fell silent instantly.
Xin Xuezhen’s voice was stuck in his throat, and the smile on his face froze.
Everyone’s eyes fell on Ji Hantong.
Ji Hantong stood there, his whole body stiff.He could feel Shen Lanchuan’s hand tightening little by little.
That hand was so strong that it almost crushed his bones.
“Hantong.”
Shen Lanchuan’s voice was very soft, as light as a snowflake.But there was a fear in the voice that Ji Hantong had never heard before.
Ji Hantong’s heart felt as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the pain was so painful that he could hardly breathe.
He didn’t dare to look at Shen Lanchuan’s face or those eyes.
Ji Hantong knew that he had to leave, otherwise the plot would collapse, the world would collapse, and his senior brother would disappear.
But…
“Host, hurry!” System 0621’s voice was already crying, “It’s too late. If we don’t go, it will be too late!”
Ji Hantong closed his eyes, and then broke away from Shen Lanchuan’s hand.
The storage ring given by Shen Lanchuan last night was accidentally taken down and fell to the ground with a clang, making a crisp sound.
Shen Lanchuan’s hand froze in mid-air, and he finally turned his head to look at Ji Hantong.
Those eyes were filled with disbelief, panic, fear, and an almost broken prayer.
“Hantong.” Shen Lanchuan’s voice was trembling, “Are you really going to leave?”
“Today is our bond ceremony, can’t you stay a little longer? At least until we worship the heaven and the earth, or, or I ask Junior Brother Xin to find him.”
“How could something happen to Li Cangming if he stayed in the sect well? Maybe… maybe the rescue talisman is broken? Don’t leave, okay…”
Shen Lanchuan looked at Ji Hantong pleadingly with lowered eyes, his voice choked with sobs.
Ji Hantong didn’t dare to look at him.
He lowered his head and looked at the little distance between the two of them. His voice was very soft, as light as fallen leaves in the wind:
“Brother, I’m sorry…”
Ji Hantong summoned the Snow Sword and left with the sword.
Under the red silk sky, Ji Hantong looked back.
Shen Lanchuan’s lonely figure ran into his eyes.
He just stood in front of the altar, wearing a bright red wedding dress, alone.
The mountain of guests, the red silk, and the petals in the sky all became the background of Shen Lanchuan.
Shen Lanchuan stood there alone.
Ji Hantong’s eyes suddenly turned red.He didn’t know why this happened, but he didn’t have time to think about it.
Brother, I’m sorry.
And…you must take good care of yourself.
