Volume 1: The Origin of Nightmares Chapter 31: The Ghost Bride (Part II)

"Jingle bells! jingle bells.... Soon, the mysterious wind chimes, or the sound of a woman crying, became clearer and clearer, even as if it sounded in the ears of Ding Xiaofan and the others.

But the singing voice mixed in with it seems to come from afar, and it is still vague.

Not only that, although one of the two voices sounded closer and the other sounded farther and farther away, Ding Xiaofan and the others could clearly feel that the distance between the song and the wind chimes was very close. Other than that, even the location where the sound came out is exactly the same.

"Ding Xiaofan, use your yin and yang eyes to see if there are any strange changes and strange figures around. And Liu Lixue, you also pay attention to listen to whether there are any other sounds around. As he spoke, Shen Xiaolang hurriedly bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood on the compass.

Hearing this, Ding Xiaofan nodded, and quickly looked around the surrounding environment. But at this moment, I don't know from what direction a cold wind is blowing. Immediately afterward, a large amount of dark money began to drift out of the air, and even the haze became thicker.

At the same time, the singing voice, which was still vague, gradually became clear. The bright moon spits light, the yin wind blows the willow lane, it is a female ghost looking for a lover.... Who wants to love, the miserable ghost bride....; The poignant singing is like a moon hidden in the fog.

"I finally heard clearly, and in the midst of the song there was the sound of a woman crying. After listening carefully for a while, Liu Lixue opened her eyes and said to Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang on the side.

However, at this moment, Ding Xiaofan didn't seem to hear her at all, and walked towards the depths of the forest with his eyes scattered. Not only Ding Xiaofan, but after a while, even Shen Xiaolang, who had always been calm, threw away the compass in his hand and slowly walked into the misty forest.

"Where are you going, wait for me!" Seeing this, Liu Lixue quickly caught up with her, leaving the doctor alone standing in place.

"Here, is it really Huangquan Road?" Seeing Ding Xiaofan and the others disappear from his sight, the doctor, who was not affected by the singing in the slightest, had no choice but to shake his body, and came to the vicinity of Ding Xiaofan and the others at a speed close to teleportation, and stood quietly under a pine tree.

"Stop! There is the Wangchuan River in front!What the hell is wrong with you!" Finding that Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang actually walked to the legendary Wangchuan River, Liu Lixue hurriedly ran forward, grabbed the corners of the two of them, and tried to wake them up.

But not long after, Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang violently pushed away Liu Lixue, who was grabbing the corner of their clothes, and continued to walk towards the center of the Wangchuan River. Soon, only their heads were left and barely above the water.

The bright moon spits light, and the unjust ghosts are swinging in the wind. Looking for a stand-in, the yin wind blows the cold moonlight.... As the poignant singing sounded again, a funeral procession suddenly appeared on the Wangchuan River, but the strange thing was that the funeral procession was carrying a big red sedan chair for receiving relatives.

The funeral procession was organized by 16 people, and the first six people were all dressed in linen and filial piety, and they were jumping forward at a uniform speed while sprinkling paper money. If you look closely, you can see that they move like zombies.

In the middle, the people who were in charge of carrying the sedan chair were four people wearing red clothes and Wufu melon skin hats, and their faces were expressionless. In addition, although the people in red clothes were obviously tied with paper, walking on the Wangcheon River, their bodies were not soaked by the river.

As for the six people behind the sedan chair, they were also the same as the six people in the front, spilling paper money while jumping forward at a uniform speed. The only difference is that the last six people are not wearing filial piety clothes, but shrouds that only the dead will wear.

"Xiao Fan, Xiao Lang, don't go any further! Come back quickly!" Seeing that Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang were almost completely submerged in the water, Liu Lixue ran forward desperately regardless of the danger.

But before she could run a few steps, a fierce cold wind suddenly blew, setting off a wave that was two people high on the Wangchuan River, completely blocking Liu Lixue's way. And when the waves fell, Liu Lixue vaguely saw two more familiar figures in the sedan chair.

In addition, she was surprised to find that in the middle of Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang sat a girl dressed as a bride wearing a golden phoenix crown, a red scarf on her face, and a xia veil on her shoulders, and wearing a red robe, red skirt, red pants, and embroidered shoes from top to bottom.

Not only that, but from a distance, the funeral procession carrying the sedan chair seemed to stay in place and keep repeating the movement of progress. However, the smog around the sedan chair is getting thicker and thicker.

Looking at the girl full of classical style in the sedan chair, as well as the obsessive expressions on the faces of Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang, Liu Lixue suddenly thought of what her parents had told her when she was a child, during the Republic of China, a bride committed suicide with hatred because the groom ran away on the wedding day.

After committing suicide, the bride turned into a ghost and searched for the groom who abandoned her on her wedding day for the sake of fame and fortune.

However, because the groom learned that the bride's ghost would come to him for revenge, he deliberately found someone to gouge out the bride's eyes and seal it with a charm in a wooden box, so until now, the ghost bride has not been able to find the groom and fulfill her wish for revenge.

Because of this, until now, this resentful female ghost will still look for young men everywhere to confuse them, and finally suck the other party's yang energy dry.

It is said that when she killed 10,000 young men, she was able to find the reincarnation of the groom. "It turns out that she is the legendary ghost bride!Not good, Xiao Fan and Xiao Lang are fascinated by her!" Thinking of this, Liu Lixue hurriedly ran in the direction of the sedan chair.

"Don't waste your efforts, haven't you noticed that the funeral procession is not in the same dimension as us? Perhaps, even the entire Huangquan Road is just a huge barrier. As he spoke, the doctor slowly walked to Liu Lixue's side.

Hearing this, Liu Lixue really found that no matter how desperately she ran forward, she couldn't get close to the funeral procession that seemed to be not far away.

"Then what should I do, if this continues, Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang will never come back! Hurry up and find a way to save them!" Seeing that the sedan chair was gradually engulfed by the dense fog around her, Liu Lixue pleaded with a crying voice to the doctor.

"The spiritual power of this enchantment is too strong, and I can't help it. Besides, I'm just a doctor. In the face of Liu Lixue's pleading, in desperation, the doctor pointed to the compass that was thrown on the ground by Shen Xiaolang and said, "It's really not good, you can try it with this thing." ”

Hearing the doctor's words, Liu Lixue quickly ran to the place where Shen Xiaolang had lost the compass before her, and picked it up.

"Do you mean that you want me to go to Ding Xiaofan and them according to the direction of the compass pointer? Looking at the compass in her hand that frequently emitted golden light, Liu Lixue said she was at a loss.

"If you just want to use this thing to discern the direction, that half-hung Taoist priest doesn't need to drip blood on it. I always had the feeling that he was trying to use this thing as a bomb. With that, the doctor made a seemingly throwing motion at the misty funeral procession.

Seeing this, Liu Lixue hesitated for a few seconds, but in order to rescue Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang, she still threw the compass in the direction of the sedan chair.

Sure enough, as the compass was thrown into the dense fog, only a "ding!" sound was heard, and dozens of golden lights suddenly erupted from the center, instantly breaking through the haze around the sedan chair. At the same time, under the illumination of golden light, the Wangchuan River gradually disappeared.

But then, the original location of the Wangchuan River turned into an old street overgrown with weeds. The funeral procession carrying a sedan chair slowly walked into this strange street.

However, at the same time as the funeral procession carried the sedan chair into the street, the street that had been uninhabited just now suddenly became full of lights. "Is it a double barrier? It's really like that guy's style!" As he spoke, the doctor walked through the door at the entrance to the street.

"Hey, wait for me!" Seeing that she was the only one left in the huge forest, Liu Lixue hurriedly chased after her in a panic.

But the next moment, she regretted it. Because she found that she was not running into an old street, but a large mansion full of Republic of China style. Not only that, but in the center of the house there is a red sedan chair.

On top of that, and even more bizarre, the mansion looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, but the only small attic in the courtyard looks as if it was freshly built.

Moreover, on the wooden door of the small attic is a red double happiness for marriage on one side, and on the other side is a memorial couplet. Even the door plaque is the same, half red and half white.

"Ding Xiaofan, Shen Xiaolang, doctor, where are you?" Standing at the door of the small attic, Liu Lixue finally mustered up the courage and knocked lightly on the door. But although the light was on in the attic, no matter how much she knocked on the door, there was no response from inside.

It is said that most people will do things that go against common sense when they are afraid to the limit. Sure enough, under extreme fear, Liu Lixue not only did not choose to escape from the house, but desperately smashed open the wooden door and quickly rushed into the attic.

However, she could only hear a "squeak!", and as soon as she ran into the attic with her front feet, the two wooden doors with red double happiness and elegiac couplets closed automatically. But Liu Lixue didn't know all this.

When she came to the attic, the first thing that caught Liu Lixue's eyes was a round table full of wine and food. At the top of the table, there are three black and white photographs about 20 inches side by side, as well as two candles, one red and one white.

"Wow!" After taking a closer look, she was horrified to find that two of them were photos of Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang! Not only that, judging from the expressions of the two in the photos, they seemed to be in extremely painful torment.

"Lixue, hurry up, save us.... It's so painful...."Just when Liu Lixue was subconsciously about to leave the attic, the intermittent cries for help from Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang came from the photo. But before she could hear it clearly, the cry for help was blocked by some force.

Who wants to love the miserable ghost bride, accompany the female ghost, and worship the moonlight late at night...... When the cries for help disappeared, the creepy singing voice suddenly resounded throughout the attic. And the wind chimes mixed in it directly turned into a woman's mournful cry at this moment.

In an instant, as the singing and crying became more and more real, a gust of wind suddenly rolled up in the attic. Immediately afterwards, the scene around Liu Lixue also began to undergo various strange changes.

First of all, all the lanterns in the attic and the candles on the table, the original orange flames have all turned dark green like ghost fires. Subsequently, when Liu Lixue first entered the door, the round table full of wine and food in the center of the attic also became lively.

I saw that the twelve chairs arranged around the round table, which were empty just now, were almost full at this time. To be exact, sitting on the chair are eight paper figures, two living people and a female ghost.

And Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang, as well as a girl dressed as a bride in an embroidered red robe, are sitting in the position where the black and white photos were originally set up.

"Hurry up and take a seat, the rest of the seat is just for you. You are welcome to come to our wedding. Picking up the wine glass on the table, the ghost bride said with a smile to Liu Lixue, who was standing in front of the table and at a loss.

"What the hell is wrong with you, get up quickly! If you don't leave, we'll all die here!" Ignoring the ghost bride, Liu Lixue shouted anxiously to Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang. But then, she was horrified to find that she couldn't move at all at this time.

In addition, Liu Lixue even involuntarily sat on the free chair. It was as if an invisible force was controlling her body.

"Find a way, burn it, the sedan chair outside. Hers, the corpse, is hidden..."Looking at Liu Lixue, who was sitting opposite, Ding Xiaofan, who couldn't make a sound, tried to open his mouth, trying to use his lips to make him understand what he meant.

But before he could finish speaking, the ghost bride preemptively read his lips. "Shut up! you want my soul to fly away? Men are really cold-blooded beasts!" Knowing Ding Xiaofan's purpose, the ghost bride roared angrily, turning Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang's faces into paper.

Due to anger, the ghost bride appeared on the spot and completely changed into the appearance of a female ghost. I saw that her pale face was covered with criss-crossing scars, and the red wedding dress on her body became tattered.

"You two are just like him, men should die!" With that, the ghost bride erupted into a terrible roar, and at the same time opened her hands, which were almost rotten to the point of white bones and covered with blood-red nails, and slammed into Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang's throats.

In just a breath, the ghost bride had already come to Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang, staring at her eyes like blood holes, and roaring at the two of them hoarsely, "Give me death!"

Seeing the ghost bride grabbing at her throat, Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang, who couldn't move like Liu Lixue, and whose faces were turned into paper, had no choice but to wait for death in despair and silently.

However, just when the throats of Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang were about to be torn by the ghost bride, Liu Lixue hurriedly shouted loudly, "Wait a minute! Although the groom abandoned you, you committed suicide, why vent your hatred on them!"

"What are you talking about!" Hearing Liu Lixue's words, the ghost bride let go of the hand that was holding Ding Xiaofan and Shen Xiaolang's necks, and teleported behind them, and roared at them viciously, "How dare you say that, do you want to die!"

"So what, am I wrong? You obviously committed suicide because the groom ran away from marriage, why should you vent your hatred for other people on my friend!" Liu Lixue struggled to move her body as she spoke.

Hearing this, two lines of bloody tears suddenly flowed from the ghost bride's empty eye sockets. Immediately afterwards, she changed her hideous and terrifying appearance just now, and changed back to the girl in a red wedding dress who was sitting on the sedan chair before.

"The groom you mentioned is my childhood sweetheart, and I just turned sixteen, and I gave him everything I had. But on the day of the wedding, he betrayed me for his fame and fortune, and caused me to die tragically at the hands of the daughter of a warlord who also liked him!"

"And just before I could breathe, that brute, in order to prove that he had no feelings for me, actually gouged out my eyes with a dagger and scratched my face!"
