Chapter 1 Destined to Gao Lao Zhuang

At the beginning of the 12th year of Zhenguan, it was spring when the flowers were blooming and the breeze was gentle.

Gaojiazhuang is located in the territory of Uszang, the western border of the Tang Dynasty. It is densely populated and is a wealthy village in the area.

The weather was sunny and the sun was just over three o'clock. At Gao Boyu's home in the south of Gaojiazhuang Village, there were already lights and firecrackers ringing. There were big red characters of joy posted on the gate. The neighbors and Gao family gathered together to hold wine and banquets, and were organizing weddings.

Gao Boyu's family is a well-off family in Gaojiazhuang. It has land and career. The two old men have three daughters and have no children.

Not long ago, a strong man from the village came to Zhu, named Zhu and Ganglie. Gao Boyu's youngest daughter Gao Cuilan was not married yet. When she visited Zhu Ganglie, she was honest and reliable, and had no parents or brothers, so she discussed recruiting him to marry into a marriage. First, she supported the store, and second, she could also serve as a laborer for her family.

Youdao is half a son-in-law who came to the house. Today's wedding was very lively. Gao Boyu and his two elders could have fulfilled their thoughts.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

After the couple worshipped the world, the bride had already returned to her new house. At this time, the villagers gathered around the groom and filled the wine happily, talking and laughing. The groom was so happy that he almost forgot his body, and refused everyone and drank heroically.

"Groom, Mr. Gao's little daughter is beautiful and beautiful. You are very lucky!" A man saw that the groom had another big bowl of food, and he walked up to drink again with envy. The groom was already drunk and laughed happily.

"Is this a matter of saying? Let's have fun together, and have fun together! Drink!"

"Okay, a lot of it!..." Seeing the groom drinking all the wine, many people came over to persuade him to drink. Seeing this, Gao's mother quietly winked at her husband: "Don't let her son-in-law drink too much, I'll stop it."

"Oh, they will be happy on the days of great joy." Mr. Gao also drank a lot, his face was rosy and full of enthusiasm.

Finally, it was afternoon. The groom was drunk and seemed to be afraid of making a fool of himself, so he hid in a woodshed to rest first. Gao's mother couldn't find anyone for a while, and she heard snoring. She took her maid to check.

It turned out that the groom was leaning against the corner of the wall and was sleeping soundly, which made Gao's mother and servant laugh.

Unexpectedly, after the groom snored a few times, his ears suddenly became bigger!

Gao's mother was startled. She rubbed her eyes, wondering if she had drunk too much? But after a few more snoring, the groom's nose also arched...

"Oh, demon..." Gao's mother and the maid were almost scared to death, and quickly came out to discuss with Gao's father. Unexpectedly, at this time, the "groom" had already walked out of the woodshed staggeringly. The relatives and villagers who were drinking looked at each other for a few glances, and then the wedding banquet collapsed.

"Pig--!"

...

At this time, in the new house of Gao's family, the bride in a wedding dress was sitting at the head of the bed. He heard the sound outside the room vaguely. The bride pulled off the veil and murmured: "Sure enough! This guy is here..."

In Gaojiazhuang, the newlywed girl is named Gao Cuilan; but in fact her soul does not belong to this world. In her memory, she was once an ordinary poor college student named Gao Lan, living a happy life.

As a result, when he woke up one day, Gao Lan found that he had traveled through time and became Gao Cuilan.

In Gao Lan's perception, Gaojiazhuang, the Us Tibet country, existed in the Journey to the West, which made Gao Lan very excited because Gao Lan always dreamed of meeting Sun Wukong and practicing immortality by the way.

But what made Gao Lan depressed was that even if "she" could practice Taoism now, she could only be a fairy.

But at present, these are not the main issues!

What we need to solve now is that she actually "married" a pig. Fortunately, Gao Lan has thought about these things many times, and she knew that this pig was Marshal Tianpeng; although she was lustful, she was actually a reasonable person.

Gao Lan felt that she should be able to find an opportunity to have a good talk with him.

"Madam!" At night, Gao Lan, who was sitting in the new house thinking about something, heard a thick scream outside the door and couldn't help but tremble. Soon, the door was slammed open, and a pig man in his personal costume walked in one step and three times.

Even though Gao Lan was fully prepared, she was almost scared to death.

"Pig--!"

"Oh, madam, how could I be a pig? I am your husband." The pig man burped and gave a charming look at Gao Lan. Gao Lan almost vomited it out, and quickly hit a handhold: "Stop! Please wait a moment, I have something to say!"

"My wife, what are you talking about tomorrow? Now it's rare, let's take a break soon." The pig man couldn't wait to pounce on him. Gao Lan couldn't help but tremble again and shouted, "Guanyin Bodhisattva is here!"

"Ah? The Bodhisattva is here, where is she?" The pig man was startled and seemed to be much more awake.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva just asked me a dream and said that I and you can't be married for the time being." Gao Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the old pig was really scared. "The Bodhisattva said that my blessings have not come, and I can't get married for the time being. She also told me about taking some sutras, but my dreams are too shallow and I can't remember them very clearly."

"Then...what should we do?" Old Zhu heard the word "seeking scriptures" and seemed to believe it. He thought for a while, finally sighed, found a stool and sat down, and was in a whim. Gao Lan quickly said, "Don't be anxious. The Bodhisattva said that my blessing will come in about three years and I can be married to you."

"Oh, that's right! The Bodhisattva is really looking at me." The old pig became excited again.

Gao Lan quietly wiped his cold sweat and found that the pig was really honest. However, if he said directly that he could not be a couple, he would not be able to make a big shot, so he could only use legitimate reasons to delay him for three years, which made him feel a little hopeful.

After three years, the old pig couldn't stop it.

"Okay, Lao Zhu will wait for a few years. Anyway, we have already worshipped the world, and it's a couple." Lao Zhu stretched and poured a cup of tea to drink slowly. Gao Lan looked at him and finally expressed his thoughts: "Old Zhu, look at you, you should be a god, right?"

"Ah?" The old pig swallowed a sip of tea, his face looked a little proud, but soon became decadent. Finally, he smiled bitterly: "That's right."

"What a pity." Gao Lan sighed with disgust. The old pig put down the teacup and said in confusion: "What a pity?"

Gao Lan said, "You are a god, and you have a long life, but I am just a mortal. After a hundred years, even if I don't die, I will be too old to be a human being. You can still find a new love and be a couple for a long time."

"This... I, Lao Zhu, never thought about this." Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment. Gao Lan took the opportunity to say, "Or, teach me some methods of practicing Taoism, so that I can accompany you for a long time."

"This is not right." The old pig seemed a little awkward.

"Hmph, you don't love me at all!" Gao Lan heard this, picked up a pillow and threw it over, but he almost vomited what he said. The old pig took the pillow, put it in front of his nose and smelled it. Suddenly he slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, then I will teach my wife a few methods of practicing Taoism. However, practicing Taoism is difficult, so don't complain about suffering!"

"Really!" Gao Lan's eyes suddenly shone in her eyes, and the old pig's appearance suddenly became much more handsome in her eyes.

After the wedding of Gao Boyu's youngest daughter, gossip spread in the village. Everyone said that the Gao family had hired a monster son-in-law, and Gao Boyu's family immediately lost all their faces and could not even raise their heads in front of the villagers.

Moreover, they felt sorry for their little daughter, but because of the terribleness of the "monster", they had no choice but to secretly find a way to deal with him.

However, Gao Lan ignored this. For several months, she had been cultivating her body and character under the guidance of Lao Zhu. Thirty-six marks were drawn on the ground in the open space behind the village. Gao Lan was holding a rake on the land and was stepping on the mark, dancing with one move.

The old pig worked hard in the fields not far away.

It has to be said that no one can compare to the labor force of the old pig: since he came to the Gao family, the cattle and horses at home were idle. Not only did he plant the fields at home, but he also reclaimed many barren mountains and forests around him. Moreover, the old pig was not afraid of hardship or dirty, he carried manure and dug canals, built yards and trenches, and rushed to do all kinds of work.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Gao Lan threw down the rake, wiped the sweat from her face, and was so tired that she sat down.

"Madam, how is your practice?" The old pig brought a jar of herbal tea and poured a bowl to quench Gao Lan's thirst.

"I finally learned the thirty-six-style raking method you taught me." Gao Lan drank several large bowls of herbal tea before he recovered a little.

"If you want to practice the immortal path, you have to endure hardships. It is rare for a wife to learn the method of self-cultivation so quickly." Lao Zhu did not hide his praise to Gao Lan.

"This set of raking techniques is the authentic Xuanmen sect of Tiangang's martial arts. There are thirty-six styles, and each style has thirty-six changes. After the practice is completed, you can strengthen your body and only after you cultivate yourself can you seek the Tao." When the old pig talked about practicing Taoism, he seemed to have changed a person, with a hypocritical and a good Taoist.

"The three thousand great ways in the world are to cultivate fate and nature, but only by cultivating oneself first and then seeking the way is the right way. Others are all evil ways. Don't worry, my wife, I, the old pig, have figured it out. If you want to be a husband and wife for a long time, you must endure the most urgent matters. You should cultivate yourself well, and it is enough to have the old pig at home to take care of you."

"Haha, thank you." Gao Lan recovered a little, returned to the farm with Lao Zhu, and ended a simple life for a day.

A few more months later, the golden autumn is coming.

The Gao family won a good harvest this year and paid the tax and the harvest was more than ten times more than in previous years. However, Gao Boyu and his wife still had no good expression on the old pig. They even invited a mage to subdue the old pig, but they easily gave it away.

The old pig didn't care, and still worked diligently in front of his son-in-law.

Time flies and three more years have passed, and Gao Boyu's family has become the richest man in Gaojiazhuang in one fell swoop. He has a thousand fertile land and a wealthy family. The old and young people in the family wear brocade, gold, cook fruits and vegetables all year round, and keep cooking firewood, rice, fish and meat.

Everyone in the village was envious and became jealous, but they all secretly cursed the Gao family for having a monster son-in-law. This made the old couple of Gao Boyu very embarrassed and made the two sisters of the Gao family secretly jealous.

They repeatedly wanted to find a mage to subdue the pig demon, but never succeeded. Finally, on that morning, the family had decided to send the slave Gaocai to find the mage again, trying to drive away the pig monster son-in-law and re-dividate the family property.

"Gao Cai, if you can't find a powerful mage today, don't come back!"
