Chapter 233 The Storm is Coming

Last time, when Shen Yue learned that Shen Lu's spirit had been lost, he blamed the Yu family for the crime, and even agreed to help Shen Lu propose marriage to the Yu family. So what will be the result of the Yu family facing the Shen family's proposal? Let's read on.

The next day, Shen's mother took her son and the matchmaker to the Yu family to propose marriage. The mistress of the Yu family was still in mourning, and there was another death recently. No one could understand what the Shen family did. But Shen's mother was surnamed Xiao, and she was the Princess of Kuaiji. She had to give her face, so the Yu family had to bite the bullet and entertain the Shen family.

The atmosphere was extremely awkward, but it was in this situation that the importance and necessity of the matchmaker profession could be reflected! When meeting and greeting, one must be enthusiastic and have aura! "Second Madam of the Yu Family, Third Madam, I am here to congratulate you two today!"

The second wife of the Yu family, Yu Feng's mother, sighed and said, "Congratulations? My Yu family is in mourning, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate to congratulate them."

"I heard that the mistress of the Yu family passed away. The mourning period has not yet ended, and there is another death. How old is Liu? Alas, the key is that there is a demon in the mansion! That's really not going well! As the saying goes, if you are not happy, ask the heavens, and the heavens will not answer, then good things will come! Look, the mistress of the Shen family has brought the eldest son Shen to propose marriage! As long as this marriage is settled and the wedding is completed as soon as possible, good luck will surely come and good fortune will shine!"

The third wife of the Yu family, Tang, the mother of Yu Luan and Yu Jinyao, asked, "It is indeed a good thing that the mistress of the Shen family brought her legitimate son to propose marriage, but my Yu family does not have a legitimate daughter suitable for marriage right now!"

The matchmaker opened up the topic, and the two sides were able to talk. Mother Shen said, "Madam San has misunderstood. My son is interested in your precious daughter, Jinyao!"

The second wife of the Yu family reached out and pulled Tang and said, "Jinyao? Sister-in-law, if it's Jinyao's marriage, then I'm afraid we can't make the decision, right?"

Tang immediately reacted and said with embarrassment: "Yes, that's right. If it's Jinyao's marriage, then we really have to listen to her father. Her father loves her the most! If my husband doesn't say anything, we dare not say anything!"

The matchmaker interrupted, "The Minister of the Central Secretariat is too busy and didn't make time today. Otherwise, we would definitely come together to propose marriage. The main reason we came today is to let him know first. We can also wait for the Minister of the Central Secretariat to make time so that the two families can sit down and decide the matter together."

"Wulian Tianzun!" Li Yi walked into the hall with a whisk in his hand. The two ladies of the Yu family immediately stood up and saluted. He nodded in return and then turned to Madam Shen and the matchmaker and said, "The Yu family does not agree to this marriage!"

The matchmaker angrily said, "Where did you come from, you stinky Taoist priest! Who are you to the Yu family? You have no right to speak here!"

"I'm here to help the Third Master of the Yu Family pass on a message. Her daughter must not be given to Master Shen!"

Mother Shen said angrily: "If that's what the Third Master of the Yu family said, why didn't he come out and refuse it himself? What's the point of sending a Taoist priest like you to pass on the message?"

"Of course it's because there is something inconvenient to say here!"

Mother Shen shouted, "The marriage between the two clans is a matter of great joy to all. Why don't you speak out?"

"Mrs. Shen, are you sure you want me to make this clear?"

"Go ahead! But let me be frank with you. If you can't explain it clearly, I will not let you off!"

Li Yi shook his head helplessly, then sighed and said, "Master Shen was bewitched by the fox demon and lost his spirit. It will be impossible for him to have offspring in the future! In this situation, which family would agree to this marriage?" Hearing this, everyone present was shocked.

Mother Shen pretended to be calm and said, "You are talking nonsense! My son is alive and well, how can he lose his soul? You, a Taoist priest, are clearly spreading lies to confuse the public!"

"Every word I said is true. You should know that I was the one who injured the fox! It can deceive others, but it can't deceive me. Master Shen still has the remaining evil spirit of the fox!"

Shen Lu was furious when he heard this and said, "You are the Taoist who injured Hong Xian. I will fight you!" Then he raised his fist and rushed towards Li Yi. Li Yi just stretched out a finger and pointed at Shen Lu's brow, and the latter flew to the chair and collapsed, losing consciousness.

Shen's mother immediately went forward to check on her son. She glared at Li Yi and shouted, "How dare you hurt my son? Someone chop this Taoist priest into pulp!"

At the command, the Shen family guards immediately drew their swords and stepped forward. Li Yi shouted "fixed" and immediately released his spiritual power, which made their Taoist robes flutter. The powerful pressure immediately fixed all the Shen family guards on the spot.

Li Yi looked at Shen's mother and said sternly, "Madam Shen, Mr. Shen's affairs, I and Mrs. Yu can keep it a secret for the Shen family, but please go back and don't come to the Yu family to talk about this marriage proposal again. If Mrs. Shen agrees, I have a way to help Mr. Shen gather his spirit!"

Hearing this, Shen's mother's eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I was blind before and didn't recognize the true immortal. If the Taoist priest can cure my son, I am willing to offer a thousand taels of gold, build a temple for you, burn incense and recite scriptures every day, and pray for you!"

"Madam Shen, as long as you agree to what I just asked, I will tell you this method."

"Okay, okay, I promise! Madams of the Yu family, what do you think?"

The second and third wives stood up and said solemnly, "We will never tell anyone about what happened today!"

Li Yi turned to look at the two ladies of the Yu family, who nodded in response. Li Yi walked to Shen Lu's side, pretended to feel his pulse, and then said, "Fortunately, Mr. Shen has lost his spirit not long ago, and he is in good health. If we can find these yang-boosting things, soak them in wine, and drink them with meals, he will be able to gather his spirit in half a month. It's just that..."

Mother Shen asked anxiously: "Just what?"

"It's just that there are two things here that are not easy to find."

"No matter how hard it is to find, I will find it for my son! Taoist priest, please tell me what it is!"

Li Yi said: "Five things are needed, namely royal jelly, deer horn, black tortoise shell, hundred-year-old ginseng and thousand-spirit wood. Among them, black tortoise shell and thousand-spirit wood are the most difficult to find.

The Taixuan Treasure Book states that there is a vast sea in the north, and a black tortoise is born in the vast sea. The black tortoise exhales true qi, which turns into divine water, and the divine water replenishes the kidney spirit. Because Master Shen does not want to replenish the kidney spirit, but to regroup his spirit, he has to use the black tortoise shell.

This black tortoise shell is already hard to find, but the Thousand Spirit Wood is even rarer. The so-called Thousand Spirit Wood is a lightning-struck wood that has been repeatedly attached to by wandering souls and scattered spirits. Lightning-struck wood belongs to the Yang element, and can best suppress Yin spirits. Only wandering souls that belong to the Yang element and the water element can attach to it. And lightning-struck wood that has been repeatedly attached to by wandering souls and scattered spirits must be a spiritual material that has obtained the essence of the sun and the moon!

Using these five things to make wine may help Master Shen regain his spirit."

Mother Shen asked in confusion, "I have heard of the other four, but I have never heard of this Thousand Spirit Wood. How can I find it?"

Li Yi smiled and stroked his beard, "It's not hard to identify. It's the lightning-struck tree that can grow new branches."

"Thank you, Taoist Priest. I will go find these things right away!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Mrs. Shen, take care. Please don't forget our agreement."

Mother Shen bowed again and took the awakened Shen Lu out of Yu Mansion. When they reached the door, Shen Lu refused to do so and asked, "Mother, are we not going to propose marriage?"

Mother Shen said with a smile: "Silly son, if you can be reborn, why should we marry the daughter of the third branch of the Yu family! I will find you a better marriage later!"

"Mom! My son will not marry anyone other than Jinyao! She is my son's true love!"

"Silly son, what's the matter with love or not, as long as she is pretty, you love her! Listen to mother! I will definitely help you pick a better one! He is just one of the Eight Families of Jiangdong, and he is not worthy of marrying into our Shen family!" After saying that, she pulled Shen Lu into the car and left.

The conversation between the mother and son was reported to Yu Feng, Yu Da and Yu Bian by the servants of the Yu family. The Yu family was naturally angry. Yu Da slammed the table and cursed: "Shen Lu, this bastard, has lost his spirit but still misses Jin Yao. He is so shameless! He even looks down on me, the third wife! Humph, just wait, I will make you lose face!"

"Uncle San, what are you doing?"

"Humph, Shen Yue and Shen Lu have repeatedly humiliated our Yu family. You can tolerate this, but I can't! He was the one who insulted Jin Yao's reputation first, so don't blame me for retaliating!"

"Uncle San, don't be impulsive! I have already written a letter to Jiankang about this matter. You should wait for my father's reply before making any decision!"

"Feng'er, you are exactly like my second brother, smart and capable but lacking courage! Shen Lu has ridden on my head and peed. If I don't resist, it will not only be the face of Yu Da that will be lost! Our Yu family will also lose face! Don't worry about this matter!"

The next day, a piece of explosive news about Shen Lu became the headline of Kuaiji's hot search list! What was the news? The penis was big and good at sex, and people could sit on the vaginal wheel! And this news came from a brothel! It was said by a beautiful girl who came to Kuaiji from Linjiang. She also said that she had been good friends with Mr. Shen and enjoyed the extreme pleasure!

The next day, many young men went to look for this beautiful lady, just to find out what was going on. As a result, Mr. Shen was on the hot search again that day, but the topic became whether Shen Lu was good enough. In fact, this was just a marketing method of the brothel to create topics for the newly opened top player.

Apparently this trick was very successful. Just drinking and listening to music with that beautiful girl cost fifty taels of silver! Later, the price rose to one hundred taels. People who came here to admire her continued to come. They just wanted to know what the eldest son of the Shen family, the largest family in Nanliang, had in terms of aesthetic taste and to get some inside information.

This rumor was just a topic of conversation after dinner, but this time it changed its nature. On the third day, an even more explosive piece of news exploded! Shen Lu is not good! Not only is he not good, he is even impotent! Rumor has it that the Shen family is looking for a panacea to cure Shen Lu's hidden illness! The key is that there is actually a country doctor who took his ancestral secret recipe to Shenjia Village to recommend himself, just for money or fame!

Shen Yue has returned to Jiankang. As the Minister of the Central Secretariat, he cannot leave Kyoto for too long. He also dares not stay in Shenjiazhuang for a long time. Li Yi is still looking for him everywhere! He has another purpose in returning to Jiankang, which is to confirm whether the prescription for reuniting the spirit is true or false.

So when these words reached the Shen family, Shen's mother flew into a rage, and determined that the Yu family was not trustworthy, so she wanted to go to the Yu family to argue. Shen Lu took a lot of effort to stop his mother, saying that a little impatience would ruin a big plan, and everything had to wait for his father to decide.

Shen Yue's letter arrived at Shenjiazhuang. The content was very simple: I will not offend others if others do not offend me. If others offend me, I will teach them a lesson!

That night, the assassin sent by the Shen family was targeting Yu Da! The assassin of the Shen family was indeed extraordinary. After all, they were the largest family with strong financial resources. The assassins they supported were much stronger than those of the Yu family. Fortunately, Taoist Li acted in time, captured the assassin and tried him again, and the truth was revealed. At this point, the feud between the Shen and Yu families was completely settled.

The Yu family would not be so impulsive as to want to compete with the Shen family with their own strength. They immediately contacted the clans that had a grudge against the Shen family. Of course, there was no lack of matchmaking from outsiders. This good show of small clans uniting to fight against large clans first kicked off in Kuaiji County!

Now that the coalition has been formed, if they want to overturn the big ship of the Shen family, they still need a storm. Li Yi can bring the rain himself, but he has to borrow the wind, and he has to borrow it from Linjiang King Xiao Yonghong.

After Li Yi said goodbye to Jin Yao, he took Zhang Hongchen back to Linjiang. Before arriving in Linjiang, Cui Zhi had already gone to Jiankang with the third prince Xiao Zonggang as he wished. On the other hand, Shen Lu also returned to Jiankang with her mother.

Thunderclouds were gathering over Jiankang City, waiting for Xiao Yonghong, the butterfly, to flap his wings, and a series of chain reactions would trigger a storm that would overturn the Shen family's ship. Of course, this thundercloud was not just the one coming from Kuaiji, there were several coming from the north, and some were gathered in Jiankang itself. We'll talk about these when the butterfly effect occurs.

Let's look at Li Yi first. After returning to Linjiang, Li Yi got angry at Zhang Hongchen at Le Zonghui, blaming her for not protecting Su Xiao and letting Xiao Zonggang take her away. This blame was not an ordinary blame. Li Yi whipped Zhang Hongchen with a whip until she was red-faced and covered with bruises. If Xiao Yonghong hadn't arrived in time, Le Zonghui would have been smashed by him!
