Chapter 467: Blind Date on the Magpie Bridge Festival
Chapter 467 Blind Date on Magpie Bridge Festival
Author: Oolai
Tang Yue finally returned to Wuji Mountain, leaving only one night for her to prepare for the start of school, and classes started on the next day.
Elder Shui has made a serious note to the shark, and if given the chance, he will definitely take revenge.
The shark king was lucky. If he hadn't been punished first, he would have taken his sword and gone to the shark palace to settle the score, and more blood would have to be shed.
Elder Shui remembered something and asked Tang Yue, "Do you have a path you want to choose?"
Everything else is considered trivial. This matter has always been on his mind. Today, he will first ask Tang Yue for his opinion.
Tang Yue said: "I don't know either. I originally wanted to practice the inner alchemy way, but now I feel that maybe the inner alchemy way is not my way."
Elder Shui thought for a while and said, "Then you can attend lectures and travel at the same time. I guess it's because you are too young and have experienced a lot. Maybe you will have ideas in your mind."
Tang Yue nodded, "I think so too."
Although in the world of cultivating immortals, most people will determine their own path when the golden elixir enters the distraction period, including the sword path, the outer elixir path, the inner elixir path, the talisman path, the formation path, the mending path, etc.
There are also all kinds of strange and weird Tao. In short, the world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. Maybe her Tao is very different from fish.
Or she advanced too fast. After coming back from the bottom of the sea, she reached the fifth level of Nascent Soul, which was not at the normal pace of cultivation.
In the eyes of herself and Elder Shui, whether she meditates, vomits, or travels to practice, it is not enough and she is far from catching up to her level.
Elder Shui feels that such a practice situation is not good and can easily breed inner demons or make it more difficult to improve one's realm in the future.
So not only some experience tasks were arranged for her, but also some mundane daily activities were arranged, hoping that she could actively participate in them and enhance her sensitivity.
Appreciating flowers and drinking tea, traveling together at banquets, talking about scriptures, etc. are all normal, and she can still try to blend in.
But Elder Shui also arranged a blind date for her, saying that he wanted her to take this opportunity to get to know more people, and even if she didn't necessarily have to marry a male cultivator, she still wanted to experience it.
Tang Yue wanted to refuse, but she received a letter from her adoptive father, Elder Duan, saying that he hoped that she could accompany her adopted sister Duan Yitang on a blind date.
He doesn't necessarily want his daughter to choose a husband, but he just hopes that she can get to know more young people.
However, Duan Yitang had been in poor health since childhood and developed an introverted and shy character. He was a little worried and asked Tang Yue to accompany her.
Tang Yue agreed. To be honest, she was very worried about Duan Yitang going to the blind date alone.
After Aunt Shui learned from Ruan Ying that Tang Yue and Duan Yitang were going to the blind date meeting, she also sent her there.
The blind date conference is what Tang Yue calls it in his heart. It is actually a festival in Wuji Mountain called the Magpie Bridge Festival.
It is held one week after the school starts. At this time, the schoolwork for the students is not too heavy and they still have time to take a look.
The Magpie Bridge Festival is very similar to the Chinese Valentine's Day in Tang Yue's original world. She guessed that the author imitated the Chinese Valentine's Day.
The origin is about a pair of star-crossed lovers who cannot be together because of the hatred between their families. Their families are separated by mountains, but they are not allowed to see each other.
But their sincere feelings moved the magpie birds in the sky, so they decided to build a bridge so that they could meet each other.
So the man and woman finally met each other and formed a Taoist couple contract privately.
But the magpies are not powerful enough, so they can only meet briefly, and only once a year.
During the secret meeting, the woman was pregnant with the man's child. Her family found out that she was pregnant, and she was locked up and not allowed to see anyone else.
In order to see his lover, the man practiced hard and finally ascended to the Mahayana. He also sent a magpie down to earth to pick up his wife and children.
This story is quite complete. The couple and their children have become immortals, and the two families have made peace and stopped tit-for-tat.
But this custom has remained and has become an opportunity for men and women in the immortal world to meet Taoist companions every year.
On this day, everyone will hold many small lanterns in the shape of magpie birds. If men and women are interested, they will exchange lanterns and then go to a waterside pavilion, boat, restaurant, or teahouse to have a conversation.
If both people are interested, there will be further development, and many people will reach the point of forming a contract.
But if one party is not interested, they can find other people and talk again.
This is a superficial process. In fact, parents and teachers have arranged for the people to see each other and arranged for the children to see each other on this day.
After watching all the episodes, the pairing is successful, both parties are satisfied, and the wedding banquet is almost ready.
Tang Yue, Shang Fanling, Ruan Ying, and Duan Yitang haven't seen each other for a while. Even if they don't go on a blind date, it would be good for them to get together.
On this day, they made an appointment to meet at a teahouse and chat for a while.
"My mother arranged for me to meet five people. I really don't know what she was thinking. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to make it in time."
Ruan Ying held her chin in her hands with a sad look on her face.
"As expected of Aunt Shui, fortunately my grandpa didn't arrange anyone for me. I may go to the street to find someone soon..."
Rather than saying that Tang Yue came for a blind date, it was better to say that Elder Shui arranged for her to improve her social skills.
Senior Sister Shang said: "I originally just wanted to see the temple fair, fireworks and the like. Since you want to find someone to talk to, I will go find it with you."
Duan Yitang said shyly: "My father only arranged two people for me, but I am so nervous."
Ruan Ying said: "That's good. We are all listening in your room, so you won't be nervous. In fact, I am nervous too. You have to wait for me next door."
Tang Yue said, "That's okay, let's just go to this teahouse." This teahouse is owned by Xiandu Zangjia, and she also has some shares.
It's her place, and if something goes wrong, the store owner will protect her.
After the four people made a plan, they no longer panicked and went to find people according to the plan.
Ruan Ying directly entered the process of blind date conversation, and Duan Yitang accompanied her here. The two-year appointment that Elder Duan had been looking for for his daughter was in the afternoon.
Tang Yue and Senior Sister Shang went to the street to try their luck.
Every year before the Magpie Bridge Festival, a main street in the towns at the foot of Wuji Mountain is chosen as Magpie Bridge Street. Those who have not decided on a date in advance will look for someone to talk to on this street.
Tang Yue's reputation is not small. Many people know her. After walking a few steps, many people want to exchange magpie lanterns with her.
Shang Fanling is also very good-looking. She has grown into a slim figure over the years, so naturally there are people who want to exchange sex with her.
Just when the two of them were hesitating whether they should take one back first, have a conversation, get a feel for it, or carefully select it.
Then two people pushed away those who wanted to change lights with them.
"Go, go, you guys, you want to change lights with Miss Tang, you don't care whether you are worthy or not."
Tang Yue frowned slightly. She hadn't said anything yet about who was driving others away for her.
She looked at the two men who were directing the servants to drive away the crowd. One was wearing a black robe with exquisite patterns embroidered on it.
The other one was wearing dark green clothes, made of fine silk and satin, with dark patterns embroidered with gold and silver threads. The two of them obviously came from extraordinary families.
