Jiang Rong and the others also bought lanterns to send to the river, but the wish was real.

"I hope to find Brother Ping as soon as possible, the family will be reunited, and the days will be peaceful and peaceful......" This is Jiang Rong's wish.

"Find Brother Ping, martial arts are successful, and the family is safe and healthy......" This is Jiang Lan's wish.

"Brother Ping'er is back, Jiguang will grow up quickly, and eat a lot of delicious ......" This is Jiang Yu's wish.

……

There are also many wishes, carried in the lanterns folded into red paper, flowing along the waves of the water to the distance, hoping to be able to convey to the ghosts and gods in the depths of the end.

"Sacrifice to ghosts and gods, worship ghosts and gods......" There were bursts of shouts and shouts from the upper reaches of the river, and the sound of gongs and drums was beaten, as if there was something big to start.

However, in such a festival, in a place like Liuxian Town that worships ghosts and gods, sacrificing ghosts and gods is indeed a rare "big show".

When Jiang Rong and the others followed everyone to the scene, they saw that a posture had been set up on a large beach on the bank of the river. There is a tall bamboo platform in the center, on which are placed paper figures in the appearance of ghosts and immortals, and incense and high candles are burned on the table below, and melons, fruits, three animals and other things are placed.

Around the bamboo platform, there are bonfires set up with dry firewood, burning fiercely, reflecting the faces of everyone present, and they are full of joy.

Later, there is a small and delicate bamboo building, and the eaves of the bamboo building are hung with big red lanterns with grimaces on the front and back, which does not feel terrible, but feels ridiculous.

"What's that place?" Jiang Rong unconsciously asked the doubts in his heart.

An old woman in front of her heard it, and looked back, yo, a little girl with a logo, she immediately laughed and praised: "This girl looks really good, and maybe she can be a ghost lady in a few years." That's a blessing! ”

What the hell? Still a ghost lady? It's not going to be a bride for a ghost, is it?

Is this old woman scolding her or praising her?

Jiang Rong pulled out a smile, "Mother-in-law, who are you talking about the ghost lady?" ”

"You don't know?" The old woman was very surprised, and glanced at Jiang Rong and the others carefully, and found that they were indeed looking at each other, and also realized that the accent of this little girl's speech was a little different from here, so she knew that they were from other places.

"Oh, no wonder, you guess you're from outside, right? Let me tell you, this ghost lady is the most beautiful girl selected by us in Liuxian Town on the day of the Three Ghost Days in March every year! The ...... sent to the ghost king to be his daughter-in-law"

said that Cao Cao Cao was coming, and then the crowd suddenly shouted, "The ghost lady is here!" The ghost lady is here! Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't crash into ......"

I saw a woman dressed as a bride being helped by Wan Wan Tingting and slowly stepped towards this side. Everyone watched intently, and whispered from time to time.

"This is this year's ghost lady, just by looking at the way she walks, you know that the appearance must be no different!"

"Not really! What year's ghost lady is not the peugeot girl who is smart? Otherwise, people can't be ghost girls. ”

"Who's got a ghost lady here, it's really a great blessing, how do you say that word? Oh, by the way, one person has ascended to heaven! That's what I said. ”

"Look, the ghost lady is in!"

Listening to everyone's discussions, Jiang Rong felt more and more weird, ghosts and gods or something, she didn't believe it, so since the ghosts and gods don't exist anymore, where did the ghost bride come from?

What was the ghost lady going to do after she entered the bamboo house just now? Is it really waiting for the ghost king to come and be lucky for her? Don't be funny!

Jiang Rong asked the old woman again, "Mother-in-law, are all those ghost brides from before still there?" ”

The old woman was stunned when she heard this, and then said, "Why is that still there?" I'm going to be the daughter-in-law of the Ghost King, so naturally I can't stay with us ordinary people anymore. ”

Jiang Rongpu Khan, are you really sure that you are not here to deceive children?

She couldn't help frowning, and thought about it before and after, the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became, how could this look a little similar to the wife of Uncle Hebo in the "Ximen Leopard Zhiye" that she learned before? Could the "ghost king marrying a lady" here also be a conspiracy made up by some people?

Where did those former "ghost girls" go? Was it really taken to the underworld by the ghost king?

Just as he was puzzled, the person in front of him called out again, "The ghost king is here!" The Ghost King is here! Everyone, stop talking, quiet, quiet! ”

Suddenly, the crowd was quiet, silent, and formed a world of difference from the excitement just now.

Jiang Rong tried to tiptoe to look, and saw a dragon-shaped bamboo boat with a length of feet coming from far and near on the river, and the boat was empty, and there was no one.

Everyone held their breath and waited for the appearance of the ghost king.

After a while, the bamboo dragon boat stopped by the river, and the next moment, everyone saw a huge hideous ghost appear out of thin air under the illumination of the lights, stepping down from the bamboo boat, and then he stepped into the bamboo building step by step.

Everywhere he passed, several large damp footprints appeared on the ground, as if someone had really walked on them.

Looking at this scene, Jiang Rong's eyes shrank, not that she believed in the ghost king's existence, on the contrary, since the moment the ghost king appeared, she knew that this so-called ghost king was just a scam!

It's just a little trick to use some kind of projection phenomenon. She was even sure that the person who came up with the trick was not far away!

As for how the bamboo boat was unmanned and the big footprints appeared on the ground, it would be better explained.

No one on the bamboo boat does not mean that there is no one below, as long as you find a few people with good water quality to hide under the boat and push the boat away in advance, isn't it?

And the footprints that appeared out of thin air, Jiang Rong knew several ways.

One of the simplest is to bury the ice cubes in the ground in advance, cover them with a thin layer of soil, calculate the time for the ice to melt, and then coincide with the time when the "ghost king" appeared.

She is now completely sure that this so-called "ghost bride" is completely a trick made by some people using the sacrifice of ghosts and gods! I'm afraid the goal is the most beautiful girl who is selected every year to become a ghost bride.

Thinking like this, Jiang Rong felt that the girl who walked into the bamboo building just now was in danger, and she hurriedly said to Li: "A-Niang, I want to go to the toilet." With that, he slipped out of the crowd.

Jiang Rong made such an excuse not to deliberately hide it from the Li family and the others, but because she didn't have much time now, and she couldn't explain things clearly for a while, so she thought it would be better to go and see it first.

If it is confirmed that his guess is true, then save the ghost bride, and it is not too late to explain to Li and the others when the matter is settled. If you're wrong, there's nothing to lose.

Li Shi instructed uneasily, "Ah Rong, don't run away, come back quickly after going to the toilet, Ah Niang is waiting here." ”

"Hey, I'll be right back!" Jiang Rong turned around and responded, and his body had already drilled out of the crowd.

Behind her, the crowd formed a large circle, and the bonfire was burning, and many people had changed into ghost costumes and wore ghost masks to sing and dance on the field, dancing and dancing the local ghost dance.

People outside the arena applauded from time to time and sang to the beat.

Farther away, there are many vendors selling all kinds of late-night snacks, barbecue, glutinous rice balls, noodle soup, fruits, etc., and the strong aroma of food wafts through the crowd, attracting people to salivate.

Here there is joy and festivities, but there are dark and dirty things going on there.

Because the bamboo building is the place where the ghost king and the ghost bride cave house, no one will come here. There are no people around the bamboo building, and it seems very quiet, which is in stark contrast to the lively scene of worshipping ghosts and gods and playing ghost shows.

But this is convenient for Jiang Rong, she came all the way here, carefully touched into the bamboo building, and heard the sound of undressing inside.

Looking in through the window, Jiang Rong was shocked, the ghost bride inside was lying on the bed unconsciously at the moment, and there was another man who was picking up the ghost bride's clothes! Because the man had his back to the window, Jiang Rong couldn't see what he looked like.

However, no matter what he looks like, he is still a person, not the ghost king of Rausch!

Worried that the person would be unfavorable to the ghost bride, Jiang Rong jumped into the window with a light jump, landing silently. She has been practicing martial arts for half a month, and Luo Tian's Yin Yang Jue has already broken through the first and second layers, and she can be regarded as a little master, so jumping out of the window or something is a piece of cake for her.

She quietly turned from behind the screen and was about to step forward to knock the man unconscious, only to see that he had only taken off the big red wedding dress outside the ghost bride, and had not touched her again.

She breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, and then felt puzzled, she thought that this person was doing this to take the opportunity to defile the ghost bride's body.

In this way, no one will believe that even if the ghost bride makes trouble afterwards, because the image of the ghost king has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, everyone only thinks that she is fortunate by the ghost king, and will never think that someone used the name of the ghost king to defile the daughter-in-law that people chose for him.

Because this is very incredible, after all, the tradition of worshipping ghosts and gods on Halloween has been circulating here not for a day or two, but for hundreds of years, and it has been like this since ancient times. Who would have thought that someone would dare to make a ghost on such a day?

Although the selection of a ghost bride for the ghost king has only appeared in the last ten years, since then, the people in Liuxian Town have found that their lives have indeed been much better, and there have been no natural disasters in the past ten years.

So the people of Liuxian Town felt that they had done the right thing to choose a ghost bride, and they believed in ghosts and gods even more.

If anyone dares to jump out and say that this ghost bride is just a trick to deceive people, then shouldn't everyone think that it is blasphemy? Maybe you'll be killed and sacrifice to the ghosts and gods!

Since the ghost bride was not in danger for the time being, Jiang Rong decided to stand still and see what this person would do next.

PS: When I received the editor's notice to put it on the shelves, I was a little incredulous at first, and then I was excited, which means that I have taken another big step.

It's going to be on the shelves tomorrow for V, and it's my first work on the shelves, and it's my first novel in the true sense of the word. Thanks to the editor-in-chief and the editor-in-charge, let Wen Wenshun sign the contract and put it on the shelves.

I'm not nervous or nervous, because I know my own results, which can only be described as bleak, and this time on the shelves is probably the so-called comfort on the shelves. But as a pink and tender newcomer, it's good to be on the shelf, you can get full attendance early, O(∩_∩)O haha~

According to my collection, it's not realistic to ask for tickets and subscriptions, so I just hope that everyone who has money will hold a money field, and those who don't have money will hold a personal field, and it's up to you to watch piracy, at least someone will see it, right? Anyway, I can increase the number of clicks or something......

Don't talk nonsense much, I hope I'm happy to write, and everyone is happy to read it~\(≧▽≦)/~ Lalala
