When I left Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, Ah Fu sent me outside.
Wang Can had left with Nangong and hadn't returned yet. As the one-month deadline Nangong had mentioned was approaching, it was clear that Wang Can had gone with him to Medicine King Valley.
Ah Fu knew that I was leaving to meet up with Wang Can and the others. When we were outside Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, he suddenly asked me to bring a message to Wang Can. He said that if Wang Can was in trouble, he must inform him. At that time, he would bring everyone in Wangwu Grotto-Heaven to help.
Although he wasn't a member of the Witch Tribe, he knew something about what had happened recently. Therefore, it was inevitable that he was worried about Wang Can.
After all, there were so many people in Wangwu Grotto-Heaven, and they all relied on Wang Can as their backbone. If something happened to Wang Can, the thousand-year inheritance of Wangwu Grotto-Heaven would come to an end. It was normal for Ah Fu to worry.
However, Ah Fu didn't know the truth. If something went wrong during the opening of the Mountain and Sea Realm, it wouldn't just be Wangwu Grotto-Heaven's problem. I was afraid the whole world would be in turmoil. How could Wangwu Grotto-Heaven stay out of this?
Although I was thinking about this, I still nodded. Then, I said goodbye to Ah Fu and flew away from Mount Wangwu.
It was the next day when I returned to Medicine King Valley.
As soon as I arrived, I felt that the aura of the Medicine King Valley was much stronger than before. After a while, I found that, in addition to the weak aura of the Witch Tribe in the Medicine King Valley, there were several more auras of the Seal Heavenly Masters.
Obviously, the other members of the Witch Tribe had arrived here before me.
I didn't waste any more time and flew in the direction of the village.
From a distance, I saw many figures standing in the open space in front of the village.
The leader was Nangong. At this time, he was standing with his hands clasped behind his back, looking in my direction. The people behind him were doing the same.
When I came in front of him, Nangong looked at me carefully. Then, he smiled and nodded at me. "Not bad, your cultivation is close to the Consummate Yang Spirit Realm."
I did not know just how high Nan Gong's level of cultivation was, but he had a lot of secrets about him. It was only normal for him to be able to tell my level of cultivation at first glance. That was why I was not bothered by it. I only nodded lightly as a reply, then turned to look at the Shamans behind him.
I glanced around. Apart from the people of Medicine King Valley, the fatty, Wang Can, and the others, there were more than ten people from the Witch Tribe that I had never seen before. Their cultivation levels were all above the seal.
When I looked at them, they also looked at me with burning gazes.
At this moment, Nan Gong walked over and led me to the front of the crowd. He said in a clear voice, "Everyone, this is the Saint that the ancestor had prophesied to lead our clan back to prosperity."
It was obvious that everyone already knew my identity. The moment he finished speaking, they all knelt down in unison and shouted, "Greetings, Saint!" Even the fatty did the same.
It's not the first time I've experienced this, but it's different from the past. These people in front of me are all the descendants of the Wizard Tribe in the human world.
Even though I had prepared myself beforehand, I was still rather excited at the sight before me.
I wasn't a member of the Wizard Tribe, but I knew how difficult it was for the Wizard Tribe's bloodline to survive for thousands of years.
I was deeply moved, so I warmly encouraged them. Wang Can, the fatty, and the others were fine, but the people who had come with Nan Gong seemed to know that the revival of the Wizard Tribe was right in front of them. They were all very excited, and some of them even had tears in their eyes.
After I comforted them for a while, they gradually calmed down. After talking for a while, they followed Bai Ling back to the meeting hall.
In Nan Gong's words, the opening of the Mountain and Sea Realm was a blessing for the Wizard Tribe. Since everyone present was a member of the Wizard Tribe, they naturally had to participate in the discussion.
As for the leaders, they were naturally Nan Gong and the Nine Cauldrons Clan. I didn't know what Nan Gong's plan was for gathering the Wizard Tribe, so I didn't say anything. I just sat on the high seat and listened, playing the role of a mascot.
After some small talk, there was finally some substantive content. However, it was only about the Wizard Tribe after the opening of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
There was nothing wrong with the arrangement of the Wizard Tribe. After all, the Mortal World was different from the Shaman Dao. Furthermore, the people with Dao Qi were very powerful. After the Mountain and Sea Realm was settled, they would inevitably attack the Wizard Tribe.
Considering Nan Gong's personality, it was reasonable for him to make arrangements for the Wizard Tribe.
However, I was more concerned about how to solve the problem of the Demon Tribe after the opening of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Seeing that Nan Gong hadn't brought up the topic, I wanted to talk about it. However, Nan Gong seemed to have sensed my intention. When I opened my mouth, he interrupted me. After a while, he moved closer to me and said in a low voice, "This is the time to boost the morale of our people. As for the Demon Tribe, I already have a plan.
There's no need to worry. Besides, our people can't do anything about it. There's no need to discuss it. "
His words were reasonable. If the Demon Tribe really did wreak havoc, the dozens of Wizard Tribe members present wouldn't be able to do anything.
After thinking about it for a while, I nodded and didn't mention it again.
After the meeting was over, I pulled Wang Can to the side and told him what Ah Fu had told me.
Compared to Ah Fu, Wang Can knew about the opening of the Mountain and Sea Realm. After hearing Ah Fu's words, he nodded and didn't say anything.
After talking to Wang Can, I planned to find the fatty, but I didn't see him. I suddenly thought of Wu Yue and his wife.
Today, I returned to the Medicine King Valley, but the two of them didn't show up. It was strange. Although they weren't Wizard Tribe members, I had brought a lot of people with me when I returned. There was no reason for them not to hear the commotion.
With that in mind, I walked to Wu Yue's room and gently knocked on the door. The door opened, and Liu Ruxu appeared.
When he saw me, he looked happy. However, I could see a trace of worry on his face. I didn't know what was going on.
Liu Ruxu bowed to me and invited me into the room.
After entering the room, I didn't see Wu Yue except for Liu Ruxu.
I thought it was strange, so I casually mentioned it.
Unexpectedly, when Liu Ruxu saw me asking about Wu Yue, he looked even more worried. He cupped his hands to me and said, "A few days ago, Wu Yue left this place."
I frowned. It wasn't easy for them to reunite. Why did Wu Yue leave Liu Ruxu in less than a month?
Liu Ruxu didn't wait for me to ask. "A few days ago, Bai Ling came to tell Wu Yue that she should go to the Chiyou Tomb to find the Fuxi Zither. She said that it was very important to me, and she could only go there alone."
After listening to this, I understood the reason. I guessed that Nangong was the mastermind behind this.
I could also guess his intention.
Wu Yue was the soul of the Fuxi Zither. In order to defeat the Daoist of Mount Longhu, he had to cut off his connection with the Fuxi Zither. He had almost died at that time.
The Daoist of Mount Longhu with the Fuxi Zither had been trapped in the Chiyou Tomb. The Daoist from Mount Longhu had also asked about it. From his words, it wasn't hard to understand that they couldn't open the Chiyou Tomb. That Daoist's fate was still unknown.
Now that the Mountain and Sea Realm was about to open, someone needed to control the Fuxi Zither. Without a doubt, Wu Yue was the best candidate.
Moreover, Nangong had said that as long as he controlled the ten divine tools, he would have the initiative to open the Mountain and Sea Realm.
However, the divine tools all had spirituality and could automatically recognize their masters. Although Nangong wanted to gather them, he didn't have the ability to control them.
Even so, if he could control a few divine tools, it would be beneficial. That was why Nangong had no choice but to do this.
I thought for a while. Wu Yue was the soul of the Fuxi Zither, and she was very familiar with the Chiyou Tomb. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be in too much danger.
I comforted Liu Ruxu, telling her not to worry too much.
She trusted me. After hearing my words, she nodded. It seemed she wasn't worried about this matter anymore.
After leaving Liu Ruxu's room, I met Fatty after taking a few steps. He saw me from afar and walked toward me with a smile.
Seeing his complacent face, I was moved. When I left, Fatty was discussing the wedding with Bai Ling. He told me that he would inform me on the day of the wedding.
Now, one month had passed, and I hadn't received any good news from him. From his expression, I guessed that the good news would come in a few days.
Sure enough, Fatty came to me and smiled. "Two days from now, he and Bai Ling will have their wedding. I'll be their witness."
When I heard the fatty mention the wedding witness, I hurriedly waved my hand. Since ancient times, the wedding witnesses have always been elders of the clan or people of virtue and prestige.
I'm about the same age as Fatty, and we're of the same generation. How can I be his witness?
Unexpectedly, Fatty said, "I'm the Holy Sage of the Witch Tribe, and they only follow my lead. Since I'm here, I'll be their witness."
What he said made sense. I didn't want to spoil his mood, so I nodded and agreed.
When the fatty heard that, he was also very happy. He told me to prepare first as he still had many things to do.
After he left, I returned to my room. I didn't stay idle. Since I was going to be the witness of Fatty and Bai Ling's wedding, I had to be careful. I had to understand the wedding procedures and the duties of a witness. I didn't want to embarrass myself.
With that thought in mind, I asked the people of the Medicine King Valley to read the ancient books and report the wedding customs to me.
After reading them carefully, I understood that the wedding ceremony wasn't simple at all.
According to the ancient books, the etiquette was based on the alternation of Yin and Yang.
The marriage of the two surnames was to serve the ancestral temple and to pass on to the future generations. Therefore, a gentleman valued it.
Therefore, the etiquette, the name, the auspicious, the ceremony, and the date of the ceremony were all hosted by the host in the temple, and the host greeted them at the door.
Entering, bowing to the host, and obeying the order of the temple. Therefore, being respectful and prudent was the etiquette.
After reading it several times, I finally digested the process and understood what the witness had to do.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Early in the morning, Uncle Lin brought the fatty and the people of the Nine Cauldrons to knock on the door.
It was a necessary procedure to invite a witness. The groom would invite him, and he would sit as a guest in front of the other guests.
The fatty was wearing a scholar's uniform and looked quite spirited.
I followed them to the main hall. At this moment, the main hall was filled with joy. Even the tables and chairs had been changed to mahogany.
When the auspicious hour arrived, Bai Ling was escorted into the hall by the people of the Medicine King Valley.
At this moment, Bai Ling was wearing a phoenix coronet and a red cape. She looked like a gentle breeze, her sleeves fluttering, and her skirt swaying.
However, looking at her current attire, my heart suddenly returned to the moment I had married Lao Ai in my dream after drinking the Grave Mound Wine more than ten years ago.
