Chapter 17: The Gods

Strange, why is there still a funeral in the village today?

Like my big wedding, the whole village has known about it for a long time. If someone died, how could we not have received the news earlier, and we shouldn't.

The funeral procession in front of us, carrying the coffin, shocked us.

"No, there is no funeral in our village today, and even if someone dies, they will never use such a funeral ceremony."

Huang Aiqing reacted, and his face suddenly changed: "In addition, none of the people in their mourning procession, those faces, are from our village!" ”

Now in the white mist, the rest of the people in the greeting team are lost, and they haven't seen it yet, only our sedan chair is here, and the number of people in the funeral team who came on the opposite side is at least more than 20, and they are lined up in a long line. As we kept getting closer, in fact, they had already seen us, but they didn't change their straight line or hide, and walked straight towards us as if they hadn't seen anything, revealing an eerie sense of strangeness.

"We are auspicious, and they are tears, representing new life and death, and this joy and mourning collide with each other, which is extremely rare. The way it is now, not to mention that even if there is, both sides will choose to bypass it in advance, and I'm afraid it will be ...... now."

It's the first time I've seen it, and Huang Aiqing, who has always been calm and unflustered, also became a little shocked at this moment, "I'm afraid that we are not only encountering this ghost hitting the wall now, but also encountering some more evil things." ”

This so-called more evil thing, Huang Aiqing didn't say what it was, because she didn't know either, otherwise she wouldn't have such a suspicious look.

“… What about the village chief, why don't we get out of the way? If we continue like this, I'm going to collide with them..."A sedan chair bearer said with some fear.

Huang Aiqing took this approach: "Okay, hurry up and carry the sedan chair to the side!" ”

Even if we took the initiative to avoid it, we didn't want to run into this weird funeral team, but although we had already hid beside it, we looked at the funeral team, and they all walked directly towards us, no matter how we avoided it, they were always facing them in a straight line, without the slightest change in direction.

Huang Aiqing's face sank even more: "It seems that these things are deliberately here, and they are aimed at us." It's impossible to get out of the way now......"

Seeing this mourning procession approaching step by step, the sound of mourning music was in our ears, and our sense of fear was also increasing in our hearts.

"Weilan, come in and hide in the sedan chair."

Just when we were all helpless, the bride in the sedan chair opened her mouth and let us all squeeze into the sedan chair.

After Huang Aiqing thought about it, there was no other way for the time being, so he agreed with what the bride said, together with the sedan chair driver, we are a total of six people, all of whom are hidden in the sedan chair.

Fortunately, the space of this sedan chair is relatively large, and after it is slightly crowded, it hides us.

Huang Aiqing instructed: "Don't be afraid of everyone! As the saying goes, although dirty things are evil, they are just picking on the faint of heart. So let's stabilize our mentality and don't be scared! ”

Now that we are all crowded in this sedan chair, we can't see clearly, what is the situation outside? I could only hear the sound of gongs and drums and mourning, which became very loud, as if it was close to the ear, and it was not difficult to see that this should be the strange mourning procession outside, which completely hit us!

"Calm down and concentrate on everyone, don't listen to the outside sounds, otherwise it will be easy to confuse your mind."

Even if the bride doesn't say this, we actually understand that under the sound of mourning like this, no one wants to listen to it, and everyone covers their ears, like a turtle shrinking into its shell, and does not dare to look out.

At first, I thought that we could avoid these dirty things on the outside by hiding in the sedan chair like this, but who knew that the more we thought about it, the more we didn't get what we wanted, and the situation became worse and worse.

This sedan chair, which was originally stable, suddenly slammed, swaying left and right, tilting and shaking, Huang Aiqing understood, and suddenly said: "It's not good, the sedan chair has been lifted!" ”

You know, the rest of our welcoming team were all lost in the white fog and temporarily lost contact, leaving only a few sedan chair bearers, together with the village chief Huang Aiqing and me, the groom official, who also hid in the sedan chair, so this is outside the sedan chair, it stands to reason that there is no one.

So now, if you can still afford to carry this sedan chair, I'm afraid there is only ......

"It's the dirty stuff! Where are you going to carry the sedan chair..."

Huang Aiqing's face was very tense, she wanted to open the curtain of the sedan chair a little to see what was going on outside? But he was stopped by the bride: "Don't look, it's dangerous outside." ”

"You ......"

Huang Aiqing looked at the bride thoughtfully, and finally stopped wanting to check it and stretched out her hand back.

"Calm down, everyone, there's nothing to be afraid of."

The bride wore a red hijab, although she could not see her bride's face, compared to the panic we showed, she seemed calm and calm, and did not feel much fear for the current situation.

Huang Aiqing asked the bride suspiciously: "I said Su Rong, why do you seem to think that now that we are in this situation, those dirty things outside look menacing, and we can still be safe?" ”

"Well, that's natural."

The bride nodded, as if she was very confident: "Although these dirty things are deliberately harming us and plotting against us to sabotage the marriage, they will stop immediately and will not continue to make trouble." ”

"Oh... Why? Huang Aiqing asked closely.

"Because, this is what Jiutian Niangniang said."

The bride's answer made us all stunned when we heard it.

"What do you mean, you said Nine Heavens Niangniang?" Huang Aiqing stared at the bride.

Huang Surong continued to say steadily: "Just now, in the temple of Jiutian Niangniang, when we worshiped Jiutian Niangniang, Jiutian Niangniang had already told me, saying that on the way back, we would encounter evil things blocking the way and suffer some small troubles, but Jiutian Niangniang said that she would definitely bless us and not let anything happen to us." ”

What Huang Surong said made us stunned again.

Especially like Huang Aiqing, he even asked: "Su Rong, did you really hear the words of Jiutian Niangniang, do you say so......"

"Bang!"

Before Huang Aiqing finished his inquiry, the sedan chair we were sitting on suddenly fell down and fell heavily on the ground!

At this time, the bride said: "Now, the Nine Heavens Niangniang has begun to help us clean up these evil things, so you don't have to worry, it will be fine soon......"

Even if Huang Surong said so, we still didn't dare to leave the sedan chair like this, because we couldn't be sure if it was true or not, but we could only hear the sound of a soothing outside the sedan chair.

I don't know what it came from, neither like a human nor an animal, there is an indescribable sense of doubt, lingering in my heart, making people a little inexplicably panicked.

In this situation, Huang Aiqing asked us to stay in the sedan chair, and after waiting for a while, the strange sounds outside gradually stopped and quieted down, and returned to tranquility.

"Okay, those evil things outside have been eliminated by Jiutian Niangniang, and you can go out safely."

Huang Surong spoke softly and once again conveyed the words of Jiutian Niangniang.

Huang Aiqing, as the head of the village, played the role of the front, so he first carefully opened the curtain of the sedan chair and made sure that there was no danger slowly, and then asked us to walk out with peace of mind.

"This, this is ......"

But when I saw this scene outside, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.

The layer of white mist that had shrouded the outside before had indeed dispersed and returned to the light, and what we had seen so much, a procession of many people who had gone out of mourning, had disappeared so much that none of them could be seen, and in its place, there were only white paper figures lying on the ground, and many scattered leaves were falling and scattering, and it was a mess.

"Thank you, thank you Jiutian Niangniang......"

"The Nine Heavens Niangniang is mighty, the Nine Heavens Niangniang bless us......"

Several other palanquin bearers knelt down gratefully, clasped their hands together and prayed excitedly, saying thank Jiutian Niangniang for helping, revealing the miracle of the true god, and driving away these harmful things, so as to keep this peace.

Compared with the worship of these palanquin drivers, although they are all fine, Huang Aiqing frowned and still did not relax, and muttered in his mouth: "Could it be that it is really the Nine Heavens Niangniang who has shown her spirits..."
