Chapter 22: The Bai Family
The woman in front of her has snow-white skin, a pair of almond eyes, and a round chin, which is not very good-looking, but it can be said to be reasonable, but what makes Zhao Ke feel cold is that this woman is not a person.
Yu Guang glanced at the back, the position of the female paper man, Zhao Ke's heart sank, and sure enough, the female paper man was gone.
Seeing this, a cruel light flashed in Zhao Ke's eyes, one hand was behind his abdomen, and he summoned the black dagger from the postal book, thinking in his heart that he was a little sure that he would be able to kill her without alarming the two flower girls outside.
However, the woman's next words made Zhao Ke stunned, only to see the woman gently holding a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Zhao Ke's forehead, and said carefully: "Master, why are you crawling?" β
"Sir!"
Zhao Ke was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood, the old man in the woman's mouth, I'm afraid which male paper man it is, immediately Zhao Ke's eyes rolled, and asked tentatively: "You call me master?" β
"Master, are you confused? Is there a third person in this boat besides you and me? Hurry up, we'll be there soon. β
After hearing the woman's words, Zhao Ke's heart eased, but he did not relax his vigilance, nodded and said, "Maybe I didn't sit down before and fell." β
Zhao Ke got up as he spoke, and at the same time touched the woman's hand quietly, only to feel that the woman's hand was cold, and it felt like a stone to the touch, cold and hard.
At the same time as Zhao Ke sat up, he heard a noise outside, opened the bamboo curtain and took a look, only to see that the boat outside began to move one after another.
Zhao Ke paid attention to it, and saw a noise coming from these boats, but it quickly calmed down, and asked without looking back: "You just said that it is about to arrive, where are we going?" β
This horror space is completely different from the last time, plus just now, two postmen who are the same as themselves are so simple that they have turned into corpses, which makes Zhao Ke always have a very bad premonition in his heart.
"Of course you're home, why aren't you impressed?"
"Home?"
Zhao Ke didn't have an unmoved look on his face, but his heart was even more confused.
"Well, I seem to have broken my head, and I can't remember some things clearly." Zhao Ke rubbed his head and said with a pretended headache.
"Master, you're okay, it's okay if you can't remember, I'll just tell you."
As soon as the woman heard that Zhao Ke had broken her head, she immediately stepped forward to care, and at the same time whispered to Zhao Ke about their identities.
It turned out that they were all the companions of this yin marriage, her name was Cuilan, and Zhao Ke had another identity, Wang Gouzi, who was the housekeeper in this batch of paper figures.
Originally, they were all paper figures, but now that they have crossed the Huangquan River, even if they have passed the Yang Pass and arrived in the Yin Cao, they can neither be regarded as ghosts nor people, but can only be regarded as spiritual mediums for people to send messengers.
"Passing the Yang Pass? To the underworld! β
Zhao Ke's heart jumped, but he didn't expect the background of this terrifying space to jump directly to the Netherworld.
At this moment, Zhao Ke noticed that under his feet, in the pile of paper ashes that was originally used to roast bear meat, a wisp of sparks flashed and flashed, and it actually burned again, and a line of handwriting gradually became clear in Mars.
[Tasks; Preventing Yin Marriagesγ
[Quest Hint: The main family of the Yin Marriage is the Bai family of the Yin Cao, find a way to stop this Yin Marriage and leave the Yin Cao, but pay attention, you have the yang energy of a living person, and you can use the ash of the spirit medium to cover it. γ
(Note: After the paper ashes of the spirit medium are consumed, they can cover the yang energy on the body and maintain it for three hours.) οΌ
Seeing the prompt of the task, Zhao Ke's eyes lit up, and while Cuilan beside him was not paying attention, he grabbed a handful of paper ash and quietly converted it into the mail book.
"Master, look, the Bai family is in front, it's really magnificent, it deserves to be a big family."
At this time, Cuilan opened the bamboo curtain, walked to the bow of the boat, and pointed ahead, showing a happy expression on her snow-white face.
Zhao Ke took a look, and sure enough, he saw that by the river bank in front of him, the old mansion was standing on the bank, with a white high wall and a vermilion gate, which looked really magnificent.
However, what caught Zhao Ke's attention even more was that in a few small boats beside him, several figures came out one after another, looking at the dress, obviously not being a spirit medium.
Zhao Ke raised his eyelids: "Postman!" β
I don't know how many postmen participated this time, but it is certain that Fang Cai's mission, I believe they have also received the hint.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have walked out with such a swagger, as for the spirit mediums in their shipyard, although Zhao Ke didn't see it, there was a faint smell of burnt paste in the air, which had already given him an answer in his heart.
Zhao Ke noticed them, and he was naturally noticed by the rest of the people, staring at him one after another.
There are doubts, there are contempt, and even Zhao Ke can feel that there seem to be some unkind eyes in these eyes, looking back and forth on himself.
It's just that what makes them wonder why there is a psychic medium standing next to Zhao Ke.
"Bell bell bell ......"
At this time, the bells made Zhao Ke's heart tighten, and he looked at the bells, only to see the vermilion gate of the Bai family slowly open, and a burst of gongs and drums sounded, only to see the black sedan chair being slowly carried into the Bai family.
Although it was obvious that their mission this time was to prevent this yin marriage, no one dared to make a move when they saw the sedan chair being carried into the gate of the Bai family.
The fate of the two postmen before is still vivid, and if you want to go up and fight hard, it is estimated that you can only find death by relying on a few of their postmen.
"Cuilan, do you know how to go back to the yang world?"
"Go back? I can't go back, our real bodies have been burned, how can we go back, why are you so confused, master? β
Hearing Cuilan's words, Zhao Ke frowned, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Damn! β
The real difficulty of this mission does not mean that it is as simple as destroying this yin marriage, the real difficulty of the task is to find a way to return to the yang world first.
At least until they find a way to leave, they simply can't do anything, otherwise ...... What awaits them is the never-ending pursuit and eternal confinement of this place until they become wandering ghosts.
Small boats began to dock on the dock near Bai's house one after another, Zhao Ke first took a bite of paper ashes, and then followed Cuilan and walked off the boat.
As soon as they got off the boat with their front feet, they looked back and saw that the boat behind them actually began to sink, and in a blink of an eye it sank into the river and disappeared.
Obviously, the idea of relying on a small boat and turning back will not work.
"Hey, you come with me."
At this time, a person wearing a white filial piety dress walked up to Zhao Ke, with an expressionless face, and waved Zhao Ke to let them follow.
"Master, that's the Bai family's steward, let's follow quickly."
Cuilan was afraid that Zhao Ke would not understand, so she hurriedly urged Zhao Ke to follow.
As the psychic medium of the marriage, Zhao Ke was of course not qualified to go to the main gate, but was guided to a side door and walked in.
After coming to a small courtyard, the steward of the Bai family pointed to his hand and said, "This is where you will stay in the future." β
Cuilan looked at the small courtyard, walked to the steward, quietly took out a stack of paper money and stuffed it into the butler's hand, and said with a smile: "This steward, our master ...... the master"
"Your master, there is no shortage of you slaves, your task in the future is to serve the old men and ladies of the Bai family here, if anyone dares to be lazy, be careful that I throw him into the Huangquan River."
Cuilan was stunned when she heard this, this didn't seem to be the same as she thought, and hurriedly said: "No, the steward, this is ...... It's not in accordance with the rules. β
"Rules?"
The steward smiled coldly, his eyes looked at Zhao Ke and the other spirit mediums, and he smiled without smiling: "In the Bai family, I am the rule." β
"Yes, yes, yes!"
After hearing this, Cuilan's face was embarrassed, but she nodded again and again.
"Today, you live first, wait for tomorrow morning, and then arrange work for you, I tell you, don't run around, run to the wrong place, even Lord Yama can't save you."
The steward said, and turned to leave.
After the steward left, Cuilan began to arrange the room, and Zhao Ke looked back and saw several other postmen, who had no intention of gathering together to act.
Zhao Ke was not surprised by this, he had been confirmed by Qi Liang's body before.
In a task, the more people participate together, the less rewards you get, obviously it is a reward that you can get alone, if someone participates in the action together, the reward will be divided in the end, and it will only be less and less.
Rather than this, it is better to separate for a while, and then make a decision on whether to join forces when the situation is clear.
"Sir!"
At this time, Cuilan pulled Zhao Ke into a room, the room was not big, but it was very clean.
At this time, Cuilan closed the door, looked back at Zhao Ke and said, "Master, we should also rest." I saw Cuilan say, slowly unbuttoning her chest, and walked towards Zhao Ke with a charming face.
