8|Ghost Marries Prince in Sedan Chair
by Jessie@AFNCCTo give, or not to give?
Xie Ren did not move, has not yet considered well, should continue to be like this I am still eight winds do not move to sit down, or should pretend to be a panic-stricken new bride timidly back to hide, the master of the hand but quite patient, but also quite elegant, he does not move, he also does not move, seems to be so waiting for his reply.
In the middle of the day, ghostly, Xie Ren extended his hand.
He stood up, to go to lift the curtain off the sedan chair, but the other party has been a step ahead, for him to pick up the red curtain. The person held his hand, but did not hold too tight, as if he was afraid of pinching him, but also gave a kind of careful illusion.
Xie Ren lowered his head, led by him, slowly out of the sedan chair, his eyes glimpsed a wolf carcass strangled by Ruo Xie Aya across his feet, his mind turned slightly, his feet slightly stumbled, and with a gasp, he fell forward.
The visitor immediately backhanded him and caught him.
This help, Xie Ren is also a backhanded grip, only to feel touched what cold things, the original, the coming hand wearing a pair of silver wrist guards.
This wrist guard was ornate and delicate, with ancient patterns, on which maple leaves, butterflies, and fierce beasts were carved, quite mysterious, and not like something from the Central Plains, but rather like an ancient artifact of a foreign race. It could be clasped around the man’s wrist, and appeared refined and sharp.
Ice-cold silver, pale hands, lifeless, but with a touch of murder and evil.
That fall of his was a pretense, with the intention of testing, if the evil damask had been slowly twisting under the wide sleeves of his wedding dress, ready to strike. However, the visitor just held his hand and guided him forward.
Xie Ren a cover the head to recognize the road is not clear, the second has the intention to delay the time, therefore, intentionally walk very slowly, and the other side actually also with his pace, walk very slowly, the other hand from time to time to come over to hold a hold him, as if it is afraid that he fell again. Although Xie Ren’s heart is a hundred and twenty thousand alert, was treated like this, also can’t help but think: “If this is really a groom, but also really gentle and considerate to the extreme.”
At that moment, he suddenly heard an extremely light tinkling sound. Every time the two of them took a step, that sound rang out clearly. Just as he was wondering what kind of sound it was, a burst of beasts’ suppressed low growls suddenly came from all around.
Coyote!
Xie Ren’s figure moved slightly, and the Ruoxi damask suddenly closed on his wrist.
Who knows, before he could make any movement, the person holding him gently patted the back of his hand twice, as if to appease and tell him not to worry. These two pats, so light that they could simply be described as gentle, Xie Ren was slightly stunned, while the burst of low growls had already been suppressed. Listening more carefully, he suddenly realized that these wild wolves, were not growling lowly, but whimpering.
It was clearly the whimpering of a beast that was so terrified that it couldn’t move and was dying.
His curiosity about who is coming is getting stronger. He wanted to lift the cover and take a look, but he knew that it was not appropriate and could only peek through the gap under the red cover. What I saw was the hem of a red dress. And under the red dress, a pair of black leather boots, is not slow walking.
The pair of small black leather boots tightened tightly, up is a pair of long and straight calves, walking, very nice. Black boots hanging on the side of two fine silver chain, every step, silver chain shaking, issued a crisp tinkling sound, very nice.
The footsteps were careless and carried a lightness that was more like that of a teenager. Yet, he was again accomplished with each step, as if no one could hinder him. Whoever dares to stand in his way, will wait to be crushed by him. In this way, Xie Ren couldn’t tell what kind of character this was.
Just as he was pondering, suddenly, something as white as the ground broke into his eyes.
It was a skull cap.
Xie Ren’s feet stagnated for a moment.
He could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the way this skull was placed. It was clearly a corner of some formation, and if it was touched, he was afraid that the entire formation would instantly launch an attack on that point. But looking at that teenager’s pace, it seemed that he hadn’t even noticed that there was something there. He was wondering whether to speak out to remind, only to hear “kala” a miserable unbearable crunching sound, see this teenager a foot down, instantly will be the skull cap stepped on the shattered.
Then, as if he hadn’t felt anything, he indifferently stepped over the pile of broken pieces.
Xie Ren: “……”
He actually, just like this foot, the entire formation, stepped into a pile of waste powder ……
At this time, the teenager’s feet lurched. Xie Ren’s heart moved, wondering if he should make a move, but the teenager only stayed for a moment, then continued to lead him forward. Walked two steps, above suddenly a “drip drip drip” sound, as if a little raindrops hit the umbrella surface. Originally, just now, that young man was holding up an umbrella, blocking the two people’s head.
Although it was out of place, Xie Ren couldn’t help but praise him in her heart for being so considerate, but in her heart she was still quite surprised, “Is it raining?”
The black mountains and the wild forests. Deep in the distant mountains, wolves howled at the moon. I don’t know if it’s because of a fight in the mountains just now, the cold air is still filled with a faint smell of blood.
The situation is so bizarre that it is extremely charming. But the young man a hand holding him, a hand holding an umbrella, slowly walking forward, but for no reason a faction of demonic wind and moon without boundaries, style and love.
The strange shower came and went strangely, and in a short time the dripping sound of the raindrops hitting the umbrella disappeared. And the young man stopped and stood still, seeming to put away his umbrella and, at the same time, finally closing his hand and taking a step closer to him.
The hand that held him along the way, gently held the corner of this cover and slowly raised it upwards.
Xie Ren had been waiting for this moment all the way, fixed and motionless, watching the tangled red curtain in front of him slowly unravel upwards-
Aya moves!
It wasn’t that the teenager had moved to kill, but that he had to be preempted and restrained!
Who knows, if the evil damask fly out, bring up a piece of horizontal wind, that bright red cover from the hands of the teenager, flying up and down, Xie Ren only had time to see a red-clothed teenager’s shadow, if the evil damask will go through.
The teenager actually shattered into a thousand silver butterflies, scattering into a brilliant starry wind of silver light.
Although it is still out of place, but Xie Ren retreated two steps, can not help but marvel at this scene, is really beautiful like a dream. At this time, a silver butterfly flew from his eyes, he still want to look more carefully, the silver butterfly is flying around him twice, which will converge into the butterfly wind, together into a part of the sky silver light, wings to the night sky.
It was a while before Xie Ren came back to her senses, thinking, “Is this teenager a ghost groom or not?”
According to him, he always felt that it was not quite like that. If so, with the wolves in Jun Mountain should be his subordinates, see him and why is he afraid into that look? And that formation on the road should also be the ghost groom laid down, but he casually …… stepped on it.
But if not, why did this young man come to hijack the sedan chair?
The more he thought about it, the stranger he felt, Xie Ren threw the Ruoxi Aya over his shoulder and thought, “Forget it, it’s possible that it’s just a passerby. Or put aside for the time being, the main thing is important.” Look around, but “eek” a sound. Originally, not far away is actually a building, heavy standing there.
Since the teenager had brought him here, and the building was painstakingly hidden in a maze, it was a must to go in and take a look.
Xie Ren walked a few steps, suddenly paused, thought about it, and then turned back, picked up the cover on the ground and patted it, holding it in his hand, before continuing to walk that way.
This building red walls and high courtyard, masonry and wood tiles slightly mottled, actually like a city god temple for some years, and according to Xie Ren’s experience, this shape is more than likely a temple of the god of martial arts. As expected, as soon as he looked up, he saw three big words of Vajra Iron Bone on the top of the gate:
“The Hall of Bright Lights.”
Northern Martial God General Mingguang, that is, the same General Pei that Spirit Man said in the psychic formation last time that the incense was very strong in the north. No wonder they didn’t find the Ming Guang Temple in the neighborhood before, but found the Nanyang Temple, so it turns out, the Ming Guang Temple here is in the mountain with Jun, but it has long been blocked off by a mesmerizing array. Could it be that this ghost groom has some connection with General Ming Guang?
However, this General Mingguang could be described as a springtime, hotshot great magus, and his position in the north was also very secure, so Xie Ren personally didn’t think that such a magus would be willing to have anything to do with such a ferocious creature as the Ghost Bridegroom? Unlucky to be unknowingly taken over by the evil creature, it is not a strange thing. It would be better to see what the truth was.
He walked up to the temple door, which was closed but unlocked, and opened with a push. When he pushed it open, a strange odor hit him.
Not the gray breath of years of no one, but a faintly putrid smell.
Xie Ren backhandedly covered the gate, making it look as if no one had come in originally, and stepped into the temple. In the center of the main hall was a statue of a martial god, naturally that northern martial god, General Ming Guang. Many things in human form, such as statues, dolls, and portraits, were easily tainted with evil qi, so first of all, Xie Ren went up to take a closer look at this statue of the Martial God.
After looking at it for half a day, the conclusion is: this idol is extremely well molded. He holds a sword and wears a jade belt. His face was handsome and he had an imposing demeanor. There was no problem, and the putrid odor was not coming from the idol, so Xie Ren left him alone and turned towards the back of the hall.
At this turn, Xie Ren’s entire body must have been, and his pupils instantly contracted.
A group of women in large red wedding clothes and covered heads stood straight in front of him.
That faint putrid odor was emanating from these dowager women.
Xie Ren quickly fixed his mind and counted the past one by one, one, two, three, four …… all the way to seventeen.
It was the seventeen brides who had disappeared in the area with Juniper Mountain!
Some of the bride’s dowry red has faded, very old and tattered, should be earlier missing bride. And some brides dowry is still new, the style is also new, the body of the odor of old corpses is also very light and very light, should be recently disappeared. Xie Ren thought briefly, uncovered a bride’s head.
Under the bright red cover was a ghastly white face, so white that it was a little slightly green, and when illuminated by the dull moonlight, it was terrifying. And the most horrible, is that this woman to die face has been muscle twisted, but in this twisted face, there is still a stiff smile.
Xie Ren uncovered another woman’s head, and the corners of her mouth rose in the same way.
This room full of dead people was surprisingly dressed in wedding clothes and smiling.
Xie Ren’s ears seem to ring again the bizarre ballad sung by the little child, “New bride, new bride, new bride on the red sedan chair …… tearful, over the hillock, under the cover head Mo put the smile to raise …….”
Suddenly, he heard a strange sound coming from outside the temple.
It was really an extremely strange sound. It was so strange that it was hard to describe, like two sticks wrapped in thick cloth, thumping violently on the ground, and like hanging something heavy, dragging it hard on the ground. This sound from far to near, come very fast, in a short while will arrive at the door of the bright light temple. Only heard “creak -“, a long sound, the bright light temple door was pushed open.
Whether it was a person or something that came, it was more than likely the ghostly groom. And now it has returned!
There was nowhere to get out of this temple and nowhere to hide, Xie Ren only thought for a split second, saw this row of brides, immediately re-covered the head, stood in himself, and did not move.
If there were only three, four, five or six corpses standing here, it would naturally be possible to see through the incorrect number at a glance, but now that there were seventeen brides’ corpses here, it would simply be difficult to immediately realize that someone had blended in unless they were counted one by one, as he had done just now.
Just as he stood in, he heard the strange sound of “thud,” “thud,” “thud,” and “walk” in.
Xie Ren stood still while pondering, “What exactly is this sound? Listening to the length of the pause, a bit like footsteps, but what is the sound of footsteps like this? This is definitely not the young man who brought me here just now, but he is very relaxed and cozy, and walks with a jingle bell ringing.”
Suddenly, he thought of something and his heart snapped, “No good, the height is not right!”
These corpses were all women, but he was a real man, naturally longer than women. Although you can’t tell at a glance that there’s an extra person, you can tell at a glance that there’s a person in a group of corpses who’s particularly tall!
But, then thought, Xie Ren and quickly calm down. He is indeed high, but that young girl Xiaoying just simply give him a hair bundle, did not do more, and these brides are all dressed up, hair buns high up in the sky, there are also wearing a phoenix crown, head high up a large piece, some of them are afraid to add up to not shorter than him, even if he is high, should not be very eye-catching.
As he was thinking this, he heard another “brushing” sound, two feet away from him.
After a few moments, there was another “brush”, this time a little closer to him.
Xie Ren reacted to what the damn groom was doing.
One by one, it was lifting the bride’s head, one by one, to view the faces of the corpses!
“Bang!”
If you don’t strike now, when will you wait? Ruoxi Aya flew out violently, hitting the ghost groom squarely.
Only heard a loud bang, black fog on the face. Xie Ren did not know that the demonic mist is toxic, he did not have the spirit light to protect his body, and immediately held his breath to cover his mouth and nose, and at the same time, he urged the Ruoxi damask to dance out of the wind, dispersing the black mist. Only to hear “dong dong”, “dong dong”! Xie Ren squinted his eyes and saw a short black shadow passing by the temple door. The temple door opened wide and a black mist rolled towards the forest.
Xie Ren made an immediate decision, immediately chased out. Who knows, he did not chase a few steps, but the woods were ablaze with fire, and a sound of shouting and killing came from afar: “Charge ah–!”
A small young man’s voice was exceptionally loud and clear: “Catch the ugly monster and get rid of the evil for the people! Catch the ugly monster and rid the people of evil! We’ll split the bounty equally!” It was that little Peng Tou. Xie Ren heart screamed bitter, this group of people said to go up the mountain, even really went up the mountain, originally there is a formation cover can not be found just, but just now the formation was the teenager a foot stomped to the ground, they blind cat touched the dead rat, even really looking for it. Then look, the direction they came, just is that ghost groom escape direction!
Xie Ren carried Ruo Xie Aya and rushed over, drinking, “Stand still!” The crowd was all stunned. He was still about to speak when he heard Little Pengtou eagerly ask, “Girl! You were taken into the mountains by that ghost groom, right? What is your name? We are here to save you, you can rest assured!”
Xie Ren was stunned and amused, then he remembered that he was still in women’s clothes. There is no mirror in the Nanyang Temple, he does not know what he looks like now, but look at the reaction, the hands of the little firefly girl should be very skillful, this group of people in a shock, actually took him as a real new bride, this little Pengtou probably still expects him to be the seventeenth bride, so as to go to collect that reward. In any case, this situation can’t let this group of villagers run around, but he can’t guarantee that the ghost groom didn’t continue to flee forward. At this exact moment, two black-clothed teenagers rushed over, and Xie Ren immediately called out, “Nanfeng Fuyan, come help me!”
Who knows, these two people looked at the sound, but they were all stunned, and took two steps backward in unison, and Xie Ren asked several times before he reacted. Xie Ren said, “Did you guys come from over there? Did you encounter anything on the way?”
Nan Feng said, “No!”
Xie Ren said, “Good. Fuyang, you now immediately search down this road and search all around to make sure the ghost groom isn’t on the loose.”
Fu Yao heard this and turned around. Xie Ren added, “Nan Feng, guard this place and make sure that no one can leave. If Fu Yao didn’t find that ghost groom in the mountains, then it must be in this group now!”
At those words, the crowd of big men clamored. Little Peng Tou also saw that he was not a woman, and was the first to jump up: “None of them can leave? What right do you have! There is no law of the land. Big guys let’s not listen to them ……”
He this jump has not yet landed, the south wind a palm split, a person surrounded by a large tree should be snapped and fell to the ground. The crowd immediately remembered, this teenager splits things at the drop of a hat, if he was given as a pillar to split, it is useless to pay compensation, they do not speak. Little Peng head added: “You say the ghost groom is inside us just inside us? Every one of us here has a name, don’t believe you use a torch to shine on everyone’s face, one by one!”
Xie Ren said, “Nanfeng.”
Nanfeng took the torch in Little Pengtou’s hand and held it up to shine through one by one. Each face was sweaty, or nervous, or bewildered, or excited, each vivid to the extreme. Xie Ren couldn’t see why, walked to the front of the crowd and said, “Everyone, I’m sorry for the offense, but I injured the ghost groom, it escaped, and it definitely can’t go far. My two little friends didn’t run into it on their way here, so I’m afraid that this thing will be mixed in with you all. Please also take a close look at each other, look at everyone’s face, and see if there is someone you all don’t recognize mixed in there.”
As soon as the people heard that the ghost groom might be mixed among their own group, they were also creeped out and did not dare to be careless, looking at each other, you look at me, I look at you up. After looking for half a day, someone suddenly shouted strangely, “Why are you here?”
Xie Ren’s eyebrows jumped as he snatched over and said, “Who?”
Little Pengtou snatched someone else’s torch, shone it into a corner, and said, “This ugly bastard!”
What he pointed at was actually Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying’s face with a crooked nose and slanted eyes looked a little twisted under the firelight, as if he couldn’t stand being exposed to the light like this, and raised his hands to block his face, saying, “I …… I just don’t feel comfortable with it, and I want to come up here to take a look …… “
Seeing her terrified, Xie Ren took away the torch from Xiao Pengtou’s hand and said to the crowd, “How are you all doing?”
A group of people shook their heads and said, “There’s no one they don’t recognize.” “All have met.”
Nanfeng said, “Will he attach himself to anyone?”
Xie Ren pondered for a moment and said, “I don’t think so, that’s a solid one.”
Nan Feng said, “But since it’s already ‘Fierce’, it’s hard to say if it can change forms.”
When they were hesitant, Little Peng was the first to call out, “The ghost groom is not in us, have you seen it clearly? If you’ve seen it clearly, why don’t you let us go!”
The crowd sparsely agreed, and Xie Ren swept a glance at them and said, “Please also all stay in front of this Bright Light Temple for now, and don’t leave by half a step.”
The crowd wanted to complain again, but when they saw Nan Feng’s cold demeanor, they didn’t dare. At this time, Fu Yao also returned and said, “There is nothing nearby.”
Looking at this field of blackened heads in front of the Bright Light Temple, Xie Ren slowly said, “Then, it must be inside this group of people right now.”
