Chapter 337: Guess Wrong
"The bride gets married—"
The master of ceremonies with an unknown accent shouted loudly, and as soon as the suona gong struck, all the villagers dressed in red gathered around one person and came to the marriage hall with noisy gongs and drums. The woman wore a phoenix crown and a red veil, her face was covered by the hanging silk red cover, and she was led by the matchmaker to step over the erected threshold with her sleeves unsadly or happily.
The high-pitched and festive suona sound exploded in everyone's ears, and the faces of the guests were strange, and it was in this atmosphere that the official rode a high-headed horse belatedly, and the scarlet robe on his body almost burned the afterglow of the sky.
"The bride is getting married, and Fulu Suki is getting started-"
The man in the gas mask bent over to toast, the abstract and strange lines of the mask grinning until the dough was torn apart, and he raised his glass to face an older-looking middle-aged man, also wearing a gas mask. The middle-aged man paused for a second, raised the wine glass with his backhand, shook the smiling face on the gas mask up and down, touched the wine glass as if he was also smiling, and looked up to drain the liquor in the glass.
The woman stepped over the brazier and was led by the matchmaker to the center of the hall.
"The bride marries into the hall—"
The official turned over and got off the horse, holding the wine glass that seemed to appear out of thin air, straightened his face, and walked to the center of the hall with a big smile.
Along the way, he toasted with anyone he saw, almost no one turned away. In the middle of the night, the official raised his head and drank the last drop of wine, looked at the wine glass in his hand with a gloomy expression, and as soon as he raised his hand, the glass made of precious goods was shattered.
But no one will reprimand him for that.
"The bride is married into the hall, and the hall is filled with gold and silver treasures—"
The woman in the red wedding dress paused in the center of the hall, and even though she was wearing a satin red lid, she could clearly hear the noise of the guests around her. It's nothing more than saying, "Poor Jiang family's beautiful lady is the age of flowers, but she wants to marry such a person." ”
The bride curled the corners of her mouth and laughed, the smile hidden under the red hijab, and disappeared into the noise around her, completely unrecognizable.
After the official smashed the wine glass, he stared sideways at the bride led by the matchmaker in the center for a while, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he laughed to himself, raised his hand to straighten the hem of his clothes, and walked over to the bride.
"Worship heaven and earth—"
In the center of the auditorium, stood a dark-skinned master of ceremonies. His face was extremely grotesque, with a wide nose that took up almost a third of his face, and the eyes were the most striking. The eye socket is extremely narrow, and the partial light is the white of the eye, which occupies almost the entire eye socket, so that at a glance, you can only see his almost completely white eyes.
The matchmakers standing around guide the bride to kneel, saying that it is a guide, and the movements of their hands are more like forcing them to kneel on their bodies.
"The Second Worship Hall—"
On the two chairs set up in front of the auditorium, two "people", a man and a woman, sat expressionlessly. The reason for the double quotation marks is that the man and the woman are really hard to think of the parents of the newcomers to the chapel, who sit there stiffly without a trace of "human" emotion, like two humanoid corpses.
"Husband and wife worship each other—"
The official smiled, barely able to control the look on his face. He watched as the woman in the fiery red wedding dress knelt down and knelt in front of him, the golden silk flowers hanging down on her hijab, so warm that they seemed to never wither.
His expression gradually sank until his eyes darkened to the point that they were inseparable from each other. 、
Immediately afterwards, the official also knelt down, his eyes stared at a phoenix embroidery on the fiery red hijab, and the gold-threaded phoenix seemed to come to life, singing and blessing the couple. The black-skinned master of ceremonies with a strange accent was still shouting, "Licheng-", and the official stood up from the ground, and his outstretched arm towards the phoenix seemed to tremble slightly.
She's my bride now.
When the official thought of this, the corners of his mouth also pulled up uncontrollably because of such thoughts, gradually forming a crazy and terrifying angle.
No one will ever separate us anymore.
He continued to think, staring almost sickly at the big red wedding dress that burned like fire in front of him, and faintly heard the cry of some kind of sharp-billed animal in his ears.
We will be together forever.
No "man" will ever be able to separate us anymore.
……
Qiu Xuan stood outside the door with her arms crossed, the shadows of the night shining on her, and she gradually couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.
It's been half an hour, and it's been half an hour since Misha entered the temple.
She had thought it was a very clear thing, but she had always had a suspicion in her mind since she had been given a red cloth after worshipping the evil goddess that night.
So far, the superficial distinction is that the male executioner enters the temple and sees a female "Bodhisattva" with a strange appearance holding a red cloth, while the female executioner sees a male Buddha with a compassionate and golden face.
On the surface, the compassionate male Buddha statue was clearly the real deity that the villagers worshipped, while the woman was the obvious evil deity. Qiu Xuan is now gambling on a chance, betting on whether what Misha sees when she enters the temple now is the Buddha who represents salvation or the evil god who represents infinite fear, if she guesses correctly, women see male Buddha in the daytime, and in the "dream" at night it is completely the opposite.
Seeing the opposite Buddha statue means killing, but it also means infinite possibilities.
If Misha is really a "rebel" in the team, according to the previous statement, her dream is the opposite of everyone else, then the Buddha statue she sees now should also be the opposite. When Misha entered the temple, it was not uncommon for her to be entangled by the evil god of the female appearance as soon as she entered, or even die.
But now the problem is that Misha went in for half an hour, and during this half hour, there was no movement in the temple inside.
If Qiu Xuan hadn't personally controlled all the exits of the hall, she would almost have thought that Misha was not inside.
He frowned and waited for ten more minutes, and after ten minutes, the door of the main hall was pushed open again.
The newcomer with a pale face stood in the dimly lit temple, and the expression on his face looked a little obscure for a moment. It wasn't until she looked at Qiu Xuan, who was guarding outside, for a long time that she said, "Now you can trust me, right?" I'm really not a rebel. ”
Qiu Xuan was silent for a long time, "What did you see?" ”
"A statue of a Buddha with a golden light." Misha's answer was very quick, as if it was a subconscious but cerebral answer. "Very compassionate, and my face was very serene, and I knelt down in front of the shrine for a while, and I felt that my whole body was sublimated."
What Misha saw was a male Buddha.
How can it be.
Qiu Xuan stared at her face for a while, and didn't know if it was because she was completely disappointed in her or for some other reason, Misha's expression looked very cold. She rolled her eyes and glanced at Qiu Xuan, and said lightly: "I have proved it now, although I can't beat you, you should always keep your own promise." ”
“…… Good. ”
The guess was wrong.
Qiu Xuan held her chin in one hand, and her face was silent and she was pondering something in her mind. To be on the safe side, she did not try to re-enter the temple, but instead chose to return to the auditorium where the army was temporarily resting.
When they went back, all the people who remained in the auditorium were asleep, including Shen Jingxue and Qin Jiuyuan. The sleeping posture of the two people seemed very relaxed, as if they were more like a dream of their choice than the "forced sleep" of the people around them.
Misha walked to Ye Qing's side, ignored Qiu Xuan's warning eyes, and lay down on the floor. "I've got to sleep, as the man said before, if we don't sleep, we'll all 'disappear'. If you want to disappear, you can do it, I'm going to sleep anyway. ”
It seems that the deep exchange with the Buddha statue just now really sublimated Misha to a certain extent, and it is difficult to see this kind of cowering and fearful expression in her now. She was no longer even afraid of Qiu Xuan, she finished saying this with a faint expression, and then put on a posture that really wanted to fall asleep and lay down beside Ye Qing.
Qiu Xuan stood next to her and watched her lie down, then fell asleep at the speed of light, her breathing slowed down and she looked like she had fallen into a deep sleep.
She paused, then suddenly raised her hand, and a misty cloud of nightmare struck at her.
Regardless of whether Misha is real or pretending, the nightmare is the same, unless it is a much higher-level executioner, at least tonight will not want to break free from the nightmare.
Qiu Xuan took one last look at the person who had fallen in the auditorium, pursed her lips and turned around and walked into the night.
She still has an empirical evidence that needs to be completed.
……
Shen Jingxue had a rare good night's sleep today, and this "good sleep" meaning refers to not dying in the dream and sleeping smoothly until the next morning.
He sat up from the messy floor of the auditorium and stretched, recalled the scene he had experienced in the dream for a few seconds, and went to discuss it with Qin Jiuyuan, who had also just woken up beside him.
"Eh, brother, where is the progress of your dream, do you know, I married someone yesterday!"
Qin Jiuyuan didn't even look at him, and stood up straight from the ground.
His eyes swept around, his expression suddenly sank, and his palm reached out to the collar of Misha, who was passing by. "Where's she?"
Misha glanced at it indifferently, raised her hand and waved away the arm that the other party was holding her. "I don't know, we came back together last night and then I fell asleep, who knows where she went alone again?"
Ye Qing glanced at Misha with some surprise, obviously also sensing that she was very wrong today.
"You ......"
"Okay, that girl should be measured." Shen Jingxue stopped him and stopped a tragic separation of people and heads in the morning. Ye Qing then found that Qiu Xuan was gone, and looked around the auditorium several times with a frown.
"Where did she go...... Where can she go on a big night? Ye Qing shook his arm fiercely, "I'll go next door and look for it." ”
Shen Jingxue sighed, "Okay, you should calm down first." Let's wait and see here, lest we accidentally bump into someone's good deeds. ”
"What do you mean by this, you ......?"
"They're awake." Shen Jingxue was the first to open the topic, and as he looked over, it was the surviving students and Jiang Li who had just woken up and looked at the surviving students and Jiang Li with a blank expression. Ye Qing squinted his eyes and glared at him, but still walked over to Jiang Li to inquire about the situation.
"Seriously, brother, what did you dream about last night?" Shen Jingxue suddenly laughed meaninglessly, ignoring the others and coming to Qin Jiuyuan's side, "Tell me about it, after all, this matter may be related to your little ...... Hehehe, you still have to pay attention to the life and death of the executioner named 'Afu', right? ”
Qin Jiuyuan glanced at him with a look on his face, and after a while, he still said, "It's the same as yours." ”
"How do you know what I'm dreaming of?"
"Horseback riding, worship, marriage." After saying this, Qin Jiuyuan didn't want to talk nonsense with him at all, so he shook his sleeves and walked towards the location of the main hall next door. Shen Jingxue touched her chin and pondered for a second, and a wry smile cracked at the corner of her mouth.
"Interesting."
"You survived?"
“…… Did I survive? I—I'm alive again! As soon as he opened his eyes in the morning, Jiang Li was stunned for a long time at Ye Qing's face, and he was still repeating that sentence in his mind for a few seconds after hearing the question, and then finally reacted and was ecstatic. I'm really alive, I'm alive! The woman let me go! I'm not dead, I—You can see me now, right? ”
He suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Ye Qing out, "Let's try again, try again...... Can you still see me when you see outside? ”
Ye Qing shook his arm decisively, saying that he didn't have time to play this childish game with him. Jiang Li didn't care about being brushed off, and rushed straight to the outside of the auditorium.
"Can you see me, can you hear me? Yes, yes, you can hear me, right? ”
"Yes, yes, come back quickly, little fool." Shen Jingxue laughed a few times, and while connecting the communication from Chen Ming, the large army. "Yes, yes, we're alive...... Uh-huh, surprise, we're surprised, hahaha...... Well? Aren't there any dead people? Then you all ...... Oooh I see, okay, then we'll be back now. ”
"Chen Ming." He raised the talisman paper that looked like ears at Ye Qing, who was looking at it, "But Chen Ming said that there were no dead people in their place last night, and according to the situation on our side in the morning, it seems that there were none. ”
Ye Qing originally seemed to be in a good mood, but after suddenly remembering something, his face suddenly sank.
"No, there's another person."
Qiu Xuan.
He did not return all night, and his life and death were unknown.
Shen Jingxue didn't speak, tilted her head and fiddled with the ear-shaped rune paper in her hand twice, not knowing what she was thinking.
At this moment, Jiang Li was standing outside looking up to bask in the long-lost sunshine, when suddenly Misha squinted her eyes and said, "What is that?" ”
Everyone turned around and looked back, only to see that behind Jiang Li, who had not looked up to bask in the sun, a pair of eyes full of malice in a messy hair were staring at him with a sinister smile.
