Chapter 364 Sacrifice to the Moon (Part )

Last time, we talked about how Li Yi rescued Yuehua in disguise. Now that he had accomplished this important task, he should start another important task, which was to deal with the Wu Gu Cult. As long as the Wu Gu Cult was still the state religion of the Chu State, it would definitely not work, so he decided to fool the King of Chu first. So what would he do? Let's read on.

The Lower Yuan Festival finally arrived, which was the day when Li Yi was going to hold the moon worship ceremony, but this guy was still lying on the bed and snoring.

Qu Xia was very confused about his daily routine, because shouldn't a martial artist practice martial arts in the morning and evening? But she had never seen Li Yi practice martial arts. Apart from practicing dual cultivation with her, the most he did was meditate on the bed. At that time, four kinds of light, namely gold, red, purple and blue, would emanate from his body, which was very strange.

However, Qu Xia was not surprised by Li Yi's unique practice method, because her own practice method was also very strange. Her practice method was to raise silkworms, using her own Qi to feed the four golden silkworms in her treasure clothes, plus her own natal silkworms.

These five silkworms must be fed every day without interruption. The longer the time spent on practicing, the stronger the treasure clothes will be, and the more feedback the natal silkworm will give her. In a word, the stranger the skills, the faster the upgrade.

Qu Xia was feeding silkworms and practicing martial arts in the silkworm house in the backyard. Li Dacai, who had just woken up, pushed the door open and said with a smile, "Madam, you feed silkworms every day, but why don't your silkworms grow? Is it because your Qi base is not good enough? How about you try mine?" As he spoke, he condensed a brown-red Qi base in his palm.

"Don't mess around. My natal silkworms can only be fed with my Qi base. Do you want to kill me?"

Li Yi suddenly felt something unusual, stretched out his left hand and clenched his fist, and a red line of marriage appeared on his wrist. At the same time, the red line of marriage on Qu Xia's right wrist also appeared, and the two were connected together.

Qu Xia asked, "My husband, what kind of skill is this?"

"Shh, don't talk, Yue Lao has something to tell me!" Li Yi closed his eyes and felt the fate on the red thread.

After a moment, Li Yi opened his eyes, saluted to the sky and said: "Disciple understands, I will do my best to complete the mission!"

"Is Yue Lao your husband's master?"

"Yue Lao is the god in charge of marriage in the world. All those who practice the law of fate are his disciples, but he has not yet established a sect. Just now Yue Lao asked me to help him spread the law."

"Spread the Dharma? Sir, our Chu State does not allow other sects to spread the Dharma!"

"Don't worry, I have a way."

At this moment, Qu Xia suddenly felt that her natal silkworm had changed, and hurriedly took it out of the treasure clothes to check.

Li Yi looked at the fat, yellow-green silkworm in her hand, which had spit out red silk to wrap itself up, and asked, "Is it about to transform into a butterfly?"

Qu Xia rolled her eyes at him and said, "What do you mean by chrysalis turning into a butterfly? How come you don't even know this? This is my natal silkworm. Even after chrysalis, it won't turn into a butterfly but a moth!"

"I know, but butterfly sounds better!"

"Just because butterflies are slender and beautiful, you think butterflies are better? You don't know anything! The larvae, silk and chrysalis of silkworms can all be used as medicine. Have you ever heard of butterflies being used as medicine?"

Li Yi looked at the silkworm that had wrapped itself up and asked, "What is it doing?"

"It's about to shed its skin and grow up!"

"It's already so fat and still growing, how big will it be? By the way, you said it can be used as medicine, what are its medicinal effects?"

"Silkworm chrysalis can eliminate fatigue, nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang, nourish the brain and liver, improve gastrointestinal function, and strengthen the body. It is a top-quality medicinal material!"

Li Yi only heard the words "tonify the kidney and strengthen yang" and didn't listen to anything else. He immediately grabbed Qu Xia's natal silkworm with two fingers and was about to throw it into his mouth, which scared Qu Xia silly!

When the silkworm was close to his mouth, Li Yi smiled, put the silkworm back into Qu Xia's hand, and said, "It's okay, I was just teasing you. Look how scared you are. If you really want to eat it, I have to roast it before eating it!"

Qu Xia pinched Li Yi's arm and punched him hard a few times, angrily saying: "You are going to scare me to death! This is my natal silkworm. Didn't I tell you that I have been weak and sickly since I was a child? Master used it to cure my illness and saved my life. If you eat it, I will be finished!"

"I know. Look, it has wrapped itself into a red ball! Hey, does the silkworm have to spin silk even after shedding its skin?"

Qu Xia shook her head and said, "Ordinary silkworms definitely don't need it, but this is a celestial silkworm. My master said that this celestial silkworm of mine will have to shed its skin four times before it turns into a pupa, and that will be my fate. If I can survive the catastrophe, I can turn into a moth, and I won't have to protect it anymore. But before it turns into a moth and flies away, I am inseparable from its life."

"So how many times has it shed its skin?"

"This is the third time. The first time, Master cured my illness, and the second time I was promoted to the fourth rank."

"Did you spin silk the first two times?"

Qu Xia shook her head and said, "I don't remember the first time. I must have been unconscious or still young at the time. But I remember the second time. I thought it was going to turn into a butterfly. After I went to find my master, she told me this."

"Oh, that means it needs to spit out silk, but why is the silk it spits out red? Shouldn't it be white, green or yellow?"

Qu Xia shook her head and said, "I don't know about that. Last time, the silk it spun was yellow-green, and it was a thin layer. This time it's very different, and I don't know what's going on."

Li Yi raised his left wrist, and the red string appeared. He placed his hand on Qu Xia's hand, and the red string on the latter's wrist also appeared. The two then realized that the silkworm was eating their red string, which allowed it to spit out red silk and weave cocoons.

The two of them immediately straightened the red rope, and the silkworm stopped spinning silk when it couldn't eat the red rope, as if it was looking around. Qu Xia put the red rope down, and the silkworm continued to eat the rope and spin silk after eating the red rope.

Qu Xia asked in confusion: "Is it eating our fate?"

"It seems so. Do you think it will eat up our fate?"

Qu Xia looked at Li Yi with a long face and said coldly: "What do you mean by this?"

Li Yi immediately apologized with a smile, "I was just kidding, just kidding!" But he suddenly realized something and said excitedly, "My wife, this is an opportunity given to you by Yue Lao! It is a heaven-sent opportunity! In this way, you can be considered as my fellow disciple!"

"Is this considered a fellow disciple?"

"Yue Lao is a true god, how could he accept a disciple casually? So I'm accepting you as my disciple by giving you an opportunity. In this sense, you are my junior sister!"

Qu Xia asked in confusion: "Is this considered entry? I haven't even become a disciple or anything like that. Besides, you didn't teach me anything, so what kind of master is he?"

"This opportunity has only been granted and has not yet come true. You will understand when it is accomplished!"

Qu Xia nodded as if she understood, "Oh, so that's it. I was wondering why you didn't call Yue Lao Master but called him by his name and the true god. So that's what's going on."

Qu Xia had no idea that she had gotten the opportunity to advance to the extraordinary realm, and she had no idea that it was Chang'e who forced Yue Lao to help Li Yi repay his debt of love!

At this time, the altar had been built in the largest square of Baidi City, torches were ready on the circular fence posts, and a round canvas was pulled up by two long poles on the square platform.

There were craftsmen doing the final maintenance on the stage, and passers-by thought they were going to set up a stage for a play, until someone started beating gongs and drums and shouted throughout the city that a moon worship ceremony would be held tonight, and passers-by came forward to inquire.

Qu Xia, Xiang Ying and Jing Xin all came over after lunch. The three women surrounded Li Yi with all kinds of clothes in their hands and kept arguing about it, asking Li Yi to wear the clothes they chose.

Just as the three women were chattering, Yuehua pushed the door open and walked into the room. Looking at the scene in front of her, Yuehua smiled and said, "Hehehe, that's right! I thought my brother..."

Li Yi threw a piece of clothing over and covered her head. Yuehua pulled down the clothes, smiled and stuck out her tongue.

Jing Xin asked, "Yuehua, what do you think happened to him?"

"Nothing, nothing."

Qu Xia stared at Li Yi and said coldly: "She thought her brother had changed and became a loyal man."

Jing Xin asked: "Yuehua, who do you think is better, Brother Wei or your Brother Li?"

Yuehua looked at Li Yi who was staring at her and murmured, "That must be because Brother Wei is amazing."

Xiang Ying asked: "Does Yuehua know Li Yi of Northern Wei?"

"Of course I know you, what's wrong?"

Xiang Ying smiled and said, "I'm asking on behalf of Jing Xin. What does Li Yi look like? Since he is the most talented person in the Northern Wei Dynasty, he must be very handsome. If possible, can you introduce Jing Xin to him? She has admired Li Yi for a long time and even wants to make her his concubine!" After saying that, she ran away.

Jing Xin blushed as she chased after him, shouting, "Xiang Ying, don't run! If you have the guts, don't run!"

This room is not that big, and with five people standing in it, it already seems a bit crowded. Qu Xia shook her head and sighed, "My husband, you know why I am annoyed by them. They are like crazy people, quarreling all day long."

Li Yi gave Qu Xia a look of approval, then said, "Okay! Stop making trouble, I'll change my clothes and we'll set off." After that, he started to change his clothes, and Xiang Ying said "oh" and walked out.

After going out, Xiang Ying realized that she was the only one out and muttered, "What's going on? Don't we have to avoid it?" Then she walked back to the house and saw Qu Xia and Jing Xin helping Li Yi change clothes, while Yuehua was sitting aside watching them while eating the candied fruit she had just bought.

Xiang Ying said unhappily: "No, you don't have to avoid it, don't you know the difference between men and women?"

Jing Xin ignored her, let alone Qu Xia.

Xiang Ying said loudly: "Jing Qingcha, I'm talking to you!"

Jing Xin replied: "There are no outsiders here, why are you avoiding me?"

Xiang Ying looked at Yuehua and asked, "Don't you need to avoid it?"

Yuehua smiled and said, "No need, I have helped my brother change his clothes before, what is there to avoid?"

Xiang Ying said angrily: "How can I do that? I am the only outsider here? I have to stay away?"

Qu Xia said calmly: "You are the one who thinks of yourself as an outsider. We didn't say anything!"

Jing Xin helped Li Yi fasten his badge and asked, "Will the fairy Chang'e appear tonight?"

Yuehua said excitedly: "Can I see Fairy Chang'e tonight? That's great, I miss my sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law!?"

Qu Xia and Xiang Ying shouted at the same time!

Li Yi's face turned green and he wanted to crush Yuehua to death! Only Jing Xin looked calm. She was the only one present who had seen Chang'e, so she didn't think the term "sister-in-law" was strange.

Li Yi stared at Yuehua and said coldly: "Li Yuehua! You'd better explain yourself clearly! What sister-in-law? What kind of sister-in-law? If you can't explain it clearly, you have been to the Jiaofangsi of the Northern Wei Dynasty, right? I will let you experience the Washhouse again!"

Yuehua looked at Li Yi, who looked like he wanted to eat someone, then looked at Xiang Ying and Qu Xia's fiery eyes and swallowed.

Xiang Ying asked: "Why do you call Chang'e Sister-in-law?"

Qu Xia came closer step by step, and her aggressive momentum made her feel frightened instantly. At this critical moment, Yuehua's intermittent wit saved her life!

Yuehua said tremblingly: "That, it's Li Yi. Brother Li has always told me that the Fairy Chang'e in the Moon Palace is his wife, so he asked me to call Fairy Chang'e sister-in-law..."

Xiang Ying nodded after listening and said, "So that's how it is. It seems that Li Yi is quite shameless. Jing Xin, what do you think? The great talent you've always dreamed of is actually such a person, and he's still thinking about a married woman!"

Jing Xin replied: "It's hard to say, maybe Fairy Chang'e is thinking about Li Yi!"

Qu Xia heard what Jing Xin meant and looked at Li Yi, who was indignant and said, "Li Yi is too shameless! I don't know if it's the loss of morality or the distortion of human nature! How could he say such shameless words!"
