Chapter Twenty-Three: Midnight Chapel
Judging from the background of the photo, this should be a foreign country, and the plants in the distance have an exotic atmosphere.
The point was the young man's looks, which caught my attention.
His skin was so tanned, very thin, he should be less than 30 years old, he had a big scar on his face, and his eyebrows were full of eerie killing intent, which made people shudder.
But in that killing intent, there is a deep sadness, this person must have experienced a very bad past.
And the person in the photo is Mei Lianzhou's master, the picture is full of a sense of age, and it should have been taken many years ago.
"Back then, my master was famous in the Southeast Regions and was known as the Ghost King! Even in Thailand, the most terrible black-clothed Azan, when he saw my master, he had to kneel down and salute, the master was cruel, cold-blooded, and never left a living mouth, but he was very good to me, and taught me all he could, and I was really happy during the years I was by my master's side. ”
"And then?"
"Once I went to Xiangxi on an errand, but when I came back, I found that the master had already left, leaving me only a note that said: He is going to another world to explore the truth of life and death."
Another world? Could it be...... Underworld?
Mei Lianzhou realized his gaffe at this time, stabilized his emotions and said: "Look at me, it's all in the past, and you don't understand what you children say." It's a pity, I'm reckless by nature, and I've only learned less than 20% of Master's skills, otherwise I'm just a lost brother, and I don't deserve to lift shoes, how can I put it in my eyes? ”
"It's all to blame for me being too reckless, being lazy and lazy, not being good at learning, and living up to Master's expectations."
Zhu Feiyue and I hurriedly persuaded him: "Where, Master Mei is humble." ”
After drinking tea, the two of us smoked two more cigarettes, and the wine was almost sober, Zhu Feiyue pointed out the door: "What's the matter with the little two?" I've been kneeling for a long time. ”
Mei Lianzhou's face returned to gloomy: "Can't you see it yet?" Those were two corpses. ”
In fact, I have vaguely guessed, but I don't want to say it, after listening to Mei Lianzhou's answer, my cold hairs stood up:
"I've heard my grandfather say it before, is this?"
Mei Lianzhou looked me up and down: "What is your grandfather doing?" ”
"The shaver."
"No wonder, the shaver industry, in fact, was the earliest to serve the dead, when the man entered the customs, forced everyone to shave half of their bald heads, and left braids in the back, who dared to refuse, the shaver cut off his head with a knife and inserted it in the bamboo spear on the side."
Mei Lianzhou pointed to the female corpse and said: "This girl is my niece, she only turned 18 years old this year, when I heard that she was unwell, I rushed to Jedo Mountain from my hometown, picked some herbs, and helped her condition her body, ten days ago, before the snow fell, my niece went into the mountains to look for wild ginseng, let a big white snake bite the neck, after coming back, she couldn't do it, she persisted for a long time, and finally left." ”
Speaking of this, Mei Lianzhou's face became extremely furious: "I turned over the entire Jedo Mountain, and there were no less than thirty or fifty snakes that died in my hands!" But she didn't find the white snake that bit her! Pity my niece, what a miserable death! ”
Mei Lianzhou slapped her leg hard and cried again.
We couldn't persuade him, and we didn't dare to say anything.
After crying, Mei Lianzhou realized that she was out of shape, coughed and wiped away her tears:
"That young man happens to be from our village, he is not bad, he looks good, and he is a good match for my niece." He stood up and walked out, motioning for us to follow.
The two of us shrank in the corridor, not daring to step forward, only to see Mei Lianzhou come to the small couple in the main house: "My niece is walking alone, I don't worry, so I think about finding a companion for her, and there can be a care on Huangquan Road, for her, this is a good thing to accumulate yin virtue." ”
I've only heard of it before, but this is the first time I've seen it in person, and I'm scared and curious.
Mei Lianzhou looked at the snowy night outside the window: "The time has passed, let's start worshipping." ”
He sat on the Taishi chair and said in a sharp voice: "Today there is Mei Yanzi, Zhang Shou is married here, a hundred years of good together, never separated......"
We hid in the distance, watching Mei Lianzhou preside over the ghost, Zhu Feiyue glanced at the male corpse and muttered, "It's quite thin." ”
I hurriedly shouted at him and motioned not to talk nonsense, and at that moment, the female corpse's head suddenly tilted and moved towards us.
It was as if she heard Zhu Feiyue speak.
My heart was pounding, and I saw that Mei Lianzhou also sensed that something was wrong, frowned, and straightened the head of the female corpse.
Zhu Feiyue's face turned white with fright, he didn't dare to say anything anymore, and honestly hid behind me.
The lobby let the candles shine red, Mei Lianzhou was wearing a cloak, holding a bamboo board in his hand, and he didn't know what he was talking about, after a while, he suddenly looked at the bamboo board, and sang a big play in a weird way:
"I have a girl of eighteen in my family, and she is fair-skinned and beautiful."
"It's hard to die early, Grandma Huangquan is so forgiving."
"Today, there is Zhang Thin, twenty-three, with thick eyebrows and big eyes like Pan An."
"The talented woman is quite a good match, and the ghost husband and ghost wife are so yin."
"From now on, life and death will be separated forever, and we will work together to break through the seven levels."
Originally, this worship hall was a very terrifying thing, plus Mei Lianzhou seemed to have lost her mind, and her voice was sharp and thin, not to mention how ugly it was, the lyrics were quite festive, but she sang a sad and desperate tune.
All this has added a lot of weirdness to the already crazy yin wedding scene.
Mei Lianzhou was singing vigorously, when suddenly a gust of wind blew in the corridor, making the candle flame crooked, and several windows were pushed open by the wind and snow, squeaking and squeaking.
At the same time, the woman's head tilted back to us.
This time it was so hard that I could even hear the sound of her neck breaking.
Mei Lianzhou didn't seem to expect this to happen, he stared at the female corpse in disbelief for a while, and straightened her head.
Click!
The head of the female corpse was facing us again, and under the red veil, there seemed to be a smile on the corner of the mouth on the dead gray face.
Zhu Feiyue and I were completely stunned by this extremely gloomy scene, and shrank in the corridor, neither running, nor running.
Especially Zhu Feiyue, this guy usually hangs his son, but when he really encounters something, he is less courageous than a little girl.
This kid hid behind me, his legs trembling like a sieve: "No, Zhiwen, why do I feel a feeling...... Something big is going to happen? ”
I whispered back: "Just look at it, what can happen?" ”
Mei Lianzhou stood up, squatted in front of the female corpse, and asked her word by word: "Yanzi, what are your unfulfilled wishes, tell your uncle, and your uncle will make the decision for you." ”
The dead man naturally couldn't speak, but the most terrifying thing was that as soon as Mei Lianzhou's voice fell, he saw that the female corpse actually reacted, her arm was slightly raised, and her miserable white fingers slowly pointed at me not far away.
What's going on? Could she ...... Is she crush on me?
