Night.

It's coming.

The wind and snow are non-stop, and there are few pedestrians on Hengluo Street.

In front of the gate of the mansion called Eiwa Mansion, a big red lantern is hung high.

"Who is Wei Jinxiu, is it your relative? Why is this about to get married?" Sun Daren stood in front of the mansion and muttered with a frown.

"There are quirks. Long Xiu clasped his hands in front of his chest and said.

Xu Yunian pouted: "Needless to say, it's not weird, how can anyone pick a marriage in the middle of the night?"

Sun Daren shivered and muttered to himself: "It can't be a female ghost, right? I heard my father say before that some female ghosts who die in vain will find some men to worship and marry, suck his yang energy, and harm his life." ”

When Sun Daren's words came out, everyone present was shocked, especially the young Liu Qingyan and the Qian family sisters and brothers shrunk their necks, and subconsciously hid their bodies behind Wei Lai.

Wei Lai's brows furrowed immediately, if it weren't for Cao Tongyun's determination that the crooked handwriting on the invitation was from the hand of Chu Qi, Wei Lai even doubted that this invitation would be some kind of conspiracy played by Yuan Zhichun and others. Thinking of this, Wei Lai turned his head to look at the people beside him, and the number of people who were invited by the seventh year of the first month was just Wei Lai's party plus Cao Tongyun, although he would not have such absurd thoughts as Sun Daren, but in his heart, he still secretly felt strange about this invitation.

But before the terrifying atmosphere inspired by Sun Daren's remarks spread, Xu Yue, who was in a wheelchair, suddenly said: "Wei Jinxiu is my senior sister. ”

When these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

"Senior sister, is that Wei Jinxiu a person from Guiyuan Palace?" Wei Lai was the first to react, he looked at Xu Yue, and then recalled that since receiving this invitation, the expression on Xu Yue's face became a little strange, just because Wei Lai was too surprised at that time, and he didn't care about Xu Yue's situation for a while, and he realized that something was wrong when he thought about it at the moment. Moreover...... When Wei Lai thought of this, his heart suddenly jumped, and his gaze at Xu Yue became more and more strange, he remembered that before this, when he talked to Xu Yue, Xu Yue seemed to have mentioned the name Wei Jinxiu to him. What Xu Yue said at that time was somewhat unclear in Wei's view, but thinking about it at the moment, it seems that there is something else strange, but what kind of strangeness it is, Wei Lai can't really say it.

"To be precise, he is a disciple of the Dust Cutting Divine Palace, one of the seven divine palaces of Guiyuan Palace. And before Wei Lai could sort out these thoughts, Cao Tongyun, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke. The old man's voice was low, but his eyes were staring at the plaque on the lintel in front of him, his expression was gloomy, as if he had some thoughts.

After saying this, the old man was the first to step forward, walked to the door of Naronghe Mansion, and stretched out his hand to push open the door without hesitation.

Bang dang!

With a soft sound, the door of the mansion opened, and the scene in the courtyard was unfolded in front of everyone at a glance.

There are some potted plants in the small courtyard, and some plants are planted, and the eaves on both sides are hung with red lanterns, which looks a little festive, but it is about the depth of winter, those flowers and plants have long withered, and the branches of the trees are also bare, and what is more terrible is that there is a thick layer of snow on the ground, and a man in a blue velvet sweater is leaning his back and sweeping the snow on the ground with a broom. Probably because he was too serious, he didn't notice the people who pushed the door in, and he was still hunched over, taking care of himself as a buddy in his hands.

"Alas, there are guests. ”

At this moment, a crisp sound suddenly came from the roof.

Everyone subconsciously looked up, and saw that at the eaves of the eaves, a woman wearing a red dress was sitting there, her feet dangling in the air, shaking slightly, and a string of sugar gourds in her mouth.

Chu Qi raised his head when he heard this, looked at everyone, and when he saw the appearance of everyone, he threw the broom in his hand and walked up quickly.

"Here we are. Chu Qi said with a red face, and he could see that the Northern Sword Species in front of him seemed to be really happy at this moment, and compared to this small courtyard deliberately hung with red lanterns, he was indeed the guy who seemed to be the most intimate in the entire courtyard at the moment.

"You go and sit back in the house, there are still guests who haven't arrived, I'll clean up here, and when everyone comes, we'll start." Saying that, Chu Qi also reached out and patted Wei Lai's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You kid, you have to have a few more drinks with my godfather today." ”

After saying this, Chu Qi picked up the broom on the ground with a smile and continued to clean up the snow on the ground.

It's just that although his attitude is warm, this kind of enthusiasm is far from enough to dispel the doubts that are surging in everyone's hearts at the moment, but it makes such doubts have a tendency to intensify at that time.

Cao Tongyun glanced at Chu Qi solemnly, and then looked up at the woman sitting on the eaves, but this gaze only stayed for a moment, and was taken back by him in an instant. Wei Lai noticed this strangeness, and also looked at the woman, it happened that the woman also looked down at him, and at that moment, a little confusion flashed in the woman's clear eyes, but this confusion was also fleeting, making it difficult to capture.

Wei Lai guessed that this woman was the Wei Jinxiu who was going to marry Chu Qi today, he had never seen each other, but the identity of the other party's Guiyuan Palace disciple made Wei Lai's heart faintly feel a little uneasy. He was full of doubts and wanted to find Chu Qi to ask what was going on, but after Chu Qi finished saying that, he lowered his head and continued to sweep the snow in the courtyard, and he didn't have any temperament to talk to Wei Lai. Wei Lai was helpless, thinking that maybe Xu Yue and Cao Tongyun should know some inside information, so he temporarily put away his thoughts and followed the people who were also full of confusion into the main house in this mansion.

......

The room is not big, it can't be said to be spotless, but it is barely clean.

Red paper was pasted all over the house, and red candles were lit everywhere, and it seemed that the person who arranged it all seemed to have the intention of decorating the door in a festive manner. But the red paper is pasted in no order, and there is no symmetry at all, of course, it is not called any beauty, and the red candles in the room are also lit a little more, and there are more than ten candlesticks in the small room alone, so many candles are illuminated, and the strange red paper arranged around it, no matter how you look at it, it makes the door of this room highlight a little weird.

What was even more strange was that there was no food on the wooden table, which was obviously for a crowd of visitors, except for a plate of dried fruit, which looked extremely cheap, and only a table of wine jugs was left full.

"I'm a little panicked, you said that the seventh day of the first month was not taken by a female ghost, I see that the woman sits on the roof in the middle of the night, like a hanged ghost, and the layout in this house, how strange it looks. Miss Xu, have you seen clearly, is that your senior sister, or is it a female ghost with the same name?" Sun Daren just sat down, he couldn't hold back the creep in his heart, turned his head to look at Xu Yue and asked.

Xu Yue's face was solemn, and he was noncommittal to Sun Daren's inquiry.

Long Xiu on the side saw the jealousy on Sun Daren's face, and couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Look at your virtue, female ghosts are very afraid, the demons in Huanglongzhai have been cleaned up by Cao's predecessors, is it really a female ghost who can escape the eyes of his predecessors?"

"But......" Sun Daren was a little angry when he heard this, of course he didn't want to lose face in front of Long Xiu, and was about to say something more.

But at this time, Wei Lai's voice sounded again: "What the hell is going on? What is that Wei Jinxiu really from the Dust Cutting Palace? Isn't the Dust Cutting Palace severing the dust relationship? How can he still marry the seventh senior?"

Wei Lai was also puzzled by everything that happened, but unlike Sun Daren's cranky thinking, Wei Lai was able to grasp the point.

It's just that in the face of Wei Lai's inquiry, Xu Yue still didn't give an answer at the first time. The girl, who had always been unfazed, was silent for a while, and when she looked up again, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Who said that people in the Dust Slashing Palace can't get married?"

The crisp voice sounded, and a woman in red stepped in.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the woman in red almost at the same time as they heard the voice, but the emotions wrapped in their eyes were very different.

"Senior sister. Xu Yue caught a glimpse of the other party, suddenly lowered his head, and said in a low voice, it could be seen that Xu Yue didn't seem to have the slightest intimacy with this nominal fellow sister.

The woman turned a blind eye to the eyes of everyone including Xu Yue, she walked straight to the wooden table, sat down gently, and looked at Wei Lai with interest over Xu Yue.

"You're Wei Lai?" she asked.

Wei Lai frowned: "You know me?"

"I've heard of it, but I don't know it. But in the future, we can't say that we will deal with each other often. The woman said.

"Why?" Wei Lai became more and more confused.

"Buddhists have words and persistence, so that they can talk about letting go. ”

"The disciples of the Dust Cutting Palace, if you want to leave the dust, you must enter the dust first. My little junior sister is the most important disciple of Shizun, and she is also the next palace master of the Dust Slaying Divine Palace hand-picked by Shizun. Her way of cutting dust is about to begin, and before she came, Shizun specially deduced a hexagram for her, and you are the guy who shows in my Shizun's hexagram and will hinder my little junior sister's road to cutting dust. From today onwards, the Dust Slashing Sword will continue to hang around your neck until my junior sister succeeds in slashing the Dust. ”

The woman said with a smile as she picked up a jug of wine on the table and opened the seal on the jug.

"Why is it starting today?" Wei Lai asked in a deep voice as he sensed something was wrong.

"Because before this, the dust cutting sword was in my hands, and today is the day when I cut off the last wisp of red dust, and after that, the dust cutting sword will have to be handed over to my junior sister. The woman didn't take Wei Lai's strange state in her eyes, and she had no hidden intention for his inquiry, and told him very calmly.

Wei Lai's heart froze, and he almost subconsciously asked, "Although it is your last wisp of red dust." ”

But this question was not asked after all, because at this moment, the woman's hand suddenly stretched out, and a fire suddenly rose from the back of her hand, and a fire finch burning with the sun appeared in the flames. The firesparrow's eyes were bright, and when it smelled the wine in the woman's hand, it let out a burst of joy, and then kept pecking at the wine in the jug.

I don't know for what reason, the moment Wei Lai saw the fire sparrow clearly, the whole person seemed to freeze and stood in place.

His gaze rested on the firesparrow's body, his expression was in a trance, and two words popped out of his mouth that he didn't know why.

"Red Python ......"
