Chapter 8: The Bridal Chamber Agreement

  After a busy day, the sun was setting in the west and the sky was slightly dark. Old Mrs. Liang Yang asked her daughter-in-law Shi to hurry up with the newlyweds to enter their room and ordered them to rest early.

  Zhu Ying Tai blushed, her heart racing like a deer, but then Liang Shan said: "My wife, take a rest first, I'll read for a while." Zhu Ying Tai secretly let out a sigh of relief and said: "I'll accompany my husband in reading books."

  Red sleeves add fragrance, good reading books, but also not bad.

  Liáng Shān delights in hunting for beauty, but deep down is proud and aloof. He cannot bear to force anyone, and only considers it true romance if the other person is willing with a happy heart!

  Liáng Shān was incredulous, he had never been defeated in the arena of love, even when faced with the underworld queen's masterful moves. How could he possibly be unable to handle a woman from over a thousand years ago? Even if it were this generation's Liáng Shān, he would still have made a bold move on a noble lady from a prestigious family, how could he himself be weaker than him?

  "Girl, you're also tired today, go rest early." Liang Shan said sincerely.

  Ying Tai's eyes revealed a hint of emotion. These days, after getting in touch with him, her husband wasn't as unbearable as the outside world said.

  About the rumor of Liangshan hooking up with Ma Wenshu, Zhu Yingtai originally felt extremely disgusted. Now thinking back on it, since Ma Wenshu came from a renowned family, he must not be a shallow person. Presumably Mr. Liang has his own unique qualities that set him apart.

  Zhū Yīngtái is now worried about her family affairs, I don't know if Master will agree. Even if Master agrees, Old Madam won't allow it. In any case, Master will definitely take a concubine in the future. Thinking this way, Zhū Yīngtái's heart feels slightly more at ease.

  Liáng Shān saw Zhù Yīngtái's gentle and quiet demeanor, her originally hidden displeasure gradually faded, thinking it was a good start, but didn't know that Zhù Yīngtái felt guilty because she had decided not to share the same room with Liáng Shān.

  There aren't many books at home to read, and Liangshan is also casually reading to gain some information about this world.

  Land and books are the standards for measuring a family's prestige. Majiabao has a collection of 10,000 volumes, and its descendants have been continuously cultivated from their own family, which is exactly what it means to grasp the advanced cultural power of the times.

  Liangshan finished reading the book and felt it was dull and tasteless, so he started chatting with Zhu Yingtai.

  After a few sentences, Zhu Ying Tai found that Liang Shan's speech was interesting and his words and tone were unlike anyone else. Little did she know that Liang Shan was from the 21st century, and no matter how hard he tried to imitate, he couldn't help but reveal his past language and accent.

  Liangshan was even more surprised, it turned out that Zhu Yingtai had read many books.

  Liáng Shān was most interested in history and current affairs, using the excuse of discussing classics with his sister to ask questions. Unexpectedly, this inquiry shocked him - Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn, Warring States, Two Han, Three Kingdoms were all roughly consistent, but only after the Three Kingdoms did things change, not the Sima clan obtaining the world, but rather the Eastern Wu Sun clan obtaining the world.

  Originally, Emperor Wu of Jin, Sima Yan, favored and trusted treacherous officials, demoted famous generals, and there was also a generation of demon women, Jia Nanfeng, who turned the world upside down. In the end, it was destroyed by the not-so-powerful Eastern Wu. The Eastern Wu, having unexpectedly obtained the world, immediately began to indulge in luxury and debauchery. After the Six Kingdoms Rebellion, the Five Barbarians invaded China, now the north is the Wei State established by the Xianbei tribe, while the south is the Song State established by the Han people, with two major powers facing each other. In addition to these two major powers, there are more than a dozen small countries distributed around the periphery.

  Under the description of Zhu Ying Tai, the Northern Wei occupied the past Central Plains area, which is now Hebei, Henan, Shanxi and Shandong, the most orthodox areas in the world; The Song Dynasty occupied the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the richest area in the world. To the north of the Northern Wei, the Yanshan Mountains were once the Rouran State, and to the northwest was the Daxia State, a descendant of the Xiongnu. The Northeast was occupied by the Northern Yan established by the descendants of Murong Wang. To the southwest of the Northern Wei was the Western Qin State built by the Qiang people. The Twelve Liankui in Majiabao is adjacent to the Western Qin State to the north, and Yangcun, where Liangshan is going, is the northernmost part of the Twelve Liankui, and to the west of the Western Qin is the Tuyuhun State.

  Ying Tai's enthusiasm was high, and the topic turned to say that outside the door, there is still a cultivation in the world, divided into two major doors: entering the world and leaving the world. Entering the world refers to Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, military strategy, and other schools, with deeper ones collectively referred to as Grand Masters. Leaving the world refers to the Xuanmen and Huandu two gates of cultivating truth, one gate governing three factions, one faction governing three halls, a total of eighteen halls, commonly known in the outside world as cultivators.

  Liangshan heard it vaguely, as if it were a heavenly book, and didn't know where Zhu Yingtai had heard it.

  The night was deep and the dew was heavy, and more than half of the joyful candles on the table had gone out. In her heart, Zhu Yingtai had the idea of talking with her husband all night, and they could talk about anything.

  Liáng Shān's heart gradually brightened, and he gained a slight understanding of the world. He stood up and deeply bowed to his wife, saying: "In the past, I didn't know how to learn, and wasted my time. Please, wife, teach me more in the future."

  Ying Tai was startled, and quickly returned the courtesy: "Sir, no need for excessive politeness, Ying Tai will be frank with you." She then added, "Since sir is interested, why don't we have a heart-to-heart talk tonight under the candlelight?"

  Liáng Shān was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing: "On the night of the wedding chamber's floral candles, how can we just sit dryly talking? Why not discuss further in the lotus-petal bedchamber?"

  "Husband, I am unable to perform the ritual of Zhou Gong with you." Zhū Yīngtái couldn't help but grit her teeth and say clearly, her voice barely above a whisper by the end.

  "What?" Liang Shan blurted out, recalling that morning when he saw Zhu Ying Tai return from outside, and his voice trembled with emotion: "Sister Ying, are you regretting marrying me?"

  "No! No! Master, don't misunderstand. It's just that when I was mourning my parents' death, a celestial being appeared at midnight and said I had a predestined connection with the divine, and transmitted the divine method to me, instructing me not to engage in conjugal relations before achieving the Golden Elixir."

  "Golden Elixir?"

  Zhū Yīngtái spent three years in mourning, feeling that the world is impermanent, and no matter whether one is a high-ranking official or a humble commoner, everything ultimately ends up as just a handful of yellow earth. Zhū Yīngtái day and night recited the "Sutra of Rebirth", suddenly one night her body and mind became clear and bright, and soon a celestial being appeared, saying that the filial daughter Zhū Yīngtái had moved heaven and earth, and handed down to her a volume of the "Mystic Maiden Sutra".

  "Could it be that you are hallucinating?" Liang Shan still had some doubts, which in later generations could be equivalent to a certain mental illness.

  Ying Tai Bai waved goodbye with one glance at Liangshan, spreading her sleeves like the water sleeves of a dan role in traditional Peking Opera, and suddenly she was suspended in mid-air.

  Liáng Shān's face turned pale, and he thought to himself: "Oh no, my wife is actually a goddess!"

  Ying Tai slowly descended to the ground and softly said: "Master, you should believe now."

  On top of Liangshan, he took a step forward and held Zhu Yingtai in his arms, feeling the warmth of her slender body filled with a wonderful and real vitality.

  Ying Tai's body trembled with fear, and she stammered: "Husband, you must fulfill me."

  Li Shuang held her in his arms and said: "You misunderstood, I'm afraid you're not a fairy, but a female ghost."

  "How could I be a ghost?" Zhū Yīngtái scolded.

  Liang Shan insisted on letting go, saying categorically: "I have seen a female ghost."

  "Oh, husband, tell me about it."

  Liáng Shān tunnel led Mǎ Wén Xiù's grave to worship, was pulled into the tomb by her ghost, later got Food Golden Beast opened mountain drilling hole and escaped, after that with Dao Wu Shi three brothers roughly told once.

  Zhu Ying Tai listened and said, "Luckily, luckily, Ma Wenxiu's ghost has formed, but fortunately the weather hasn't changed, otherwise Master would not have returned." After a moment of contemplation, she continued, "Master said that under Ma Wenxiu's coffin is likely to be the Nether Springs, nourished for a long time, possibly..." Zhu Ying Tai suddenly changed color and exclaimed, "The Ma family is raising a Ghost King!"

  "King of Ghosts?"

  Zhu Yingtai nodded and said, "When a person dies, their soul disperses, and few become ghosts. Those who do become ghosts must have something on their minds." As she spoke, Zhu Yingtai's eyes flashed with anger as she glanced at Liangshan.

  Liáng Shān's face turned red with shame, and in his heart he thought: "This is not my fault!"

  "Nourished by the earthly veins and shady springs, it will surely become a ghost king."

  "What is Ma intending to do by raising such a wicked creature? Is he planning to commit some evil deed that will harm the heavens and violate reason?" asked Liangshan.

  "That's not necessarily true, this Ghost King will definitely be loyal to the Ma family with all his heart, it seems that he is going to be a great secret weapon for the Ma family."

  Liáng Shān nodded secretly, the Mǎ family was powerful, and the surrounding dependencies were not only its strong economic and cultural power, but also its military power. The Mǎ family's Black Armor Army was famous far and wide, and thieves did not dare to come and offend them.

  "Without saying these things, I don't know if Master will agree to my request?" Zhu Yingtai's autumn water-like eyes gazed at Liangshan, her heart anxious.

  Liáng Shān bowed deeply and said, "The Liang family has fallen to such a state, but Ying Jie has not abandoned us. I am already deeply moved, and towards Ying Jie, I have both love and respect. How could I dare not follow her?"

  Ying Tai's heart was moved, and she said: "But what about Mother's side, how will it be explained?"

  "That can only humiliate you, I'll take a concubine in a year or two to continue the family line."

  Ying Tai nodded and said, "This is for the best."

  The husband and wife reached an understanding, and Zhū Yīngtái's hanging heart was put to rest. As the midnight hour approached, Liáng Shān stared blankly as Zhū Yīngtái flew out of the window, but he didn't know where she had flown off to cultivate her skills.

  Every night, Yu Tai would go out to practice, which means that Liang Shan had to guard an empty room alone every night.

  Liáng Shān's heart ached, the Saint of Love had fallen to such a state! However, Zhū Yīngtái's impression of him improved, there would always be moments that moved her and made her willing to devote herself.

  In the past, Liangshan's romantic encounters were all flash wars, but now it's not bad to have a protracted war either. What's more important is that Zhu Yingtai's appearance is not only extremely similar to Su Ya's, but also her tone of voice and temperament are extremely alike. Now that the two have become husband and wife and have laid a good foundation, Liangshan believes he can thoroughly conquer this goddess.

  However, conquering the goddess requires skill. Chang'e fled at night, leaving Hou Yi, this rough man, to jump and shout on the ground, what's the use? Under Liangshan, he made up his mind to intensify his practice of the "White Bone Scripture".

  Liáng Shān suddenly thought that it was also good for her to not share a room with him, he still had to work hard day and night, his wife was already the foundation, he must seize the opportunity to pursue.
