Chapter 1: The Midnight Wedding

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and in the reckless forest sea in the west of the 100,000 mountains in Guangxi, a team of people carries a big red sedan chair and walks towards the little light in the distance with stiff steps. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe sound of suona, which should be lively and festive, is particularly poignant and desolate in the old forest at midnight at this time, revealing an indescribable weirdness!

In Qingshui Village, the big courtyard of the old Zhang family is brightly lit. The courtyard is lit up, and it is a lively scene! It's like a happy event. But now although the courtyard of the old Zhang family is crowded, everyone bows their heads and is silent. Everyone's eyes revealed anxiety and deep uneasiness that could not be concealed. Everyone was silent, just quietly guarding, no one dared to break this almost frozen atmosphere, it seemed ...... I'm afraid I've alarmed something very scary! If it weren't for the festive red color in the courtyard, some people would have thought that the dead were preparing for a funeral.

A faint suona sounded in the distance, breaking the deathly silence. The people in the courtyard seemed to be awakened all of a sudden, one by one holding their breath and pricking up their ears to listen, some ignorant children wanted to ask the adults what was going on, but the adults were anxious to cover their mouths.

Finally, the fluttering suona sound became clearer and clearer from far to near. But this voice is strange, how to listen to it and feel like a person sobbing resentfully, which makes people feel a chill down their spine!

Lao Zhang and his wife couldn't sit still anymore, so they got up from their chairs, wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and let out a long breath - finally back!

With the strange sound of suona, I saw a group of people with pale faces, carrying a big red sedan chair without saying a word, and walked into the village with stiff steps.

The long-awaited firecrackers at the entrance of the village finally sounded, and the people in the village also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and came to the entrance of the village to greet them. But looking at the group of people carrying the sedan chair, why is there something wrong? As for what was wrong, the villagers couldn't tell for a while.

"Xiao Wu, there is a problem with the person carrying the sedan chair!"

Lao Liu took a puff of his cigarette and said to me, who was also at the entrance of the village. I turned my gaze to Lao Liu, who stopped on the sedan chair, and saw that he slowly spit out the smoke that had swam around in his lungs, and his eyes narrowed into a line in the smoke, staring closely at the group of people carrying the sedan chair, and his essence surged.

"Oh?"

I turned my gaze to the group of relatives again, trying to find out what Lao Liu said was wrong.

"These people...... It smells of death! ”

Lao Liu said with a pale face.

Dead man's smell! I just wanted to ask Lao Liu what he called a dead man, but I saw that the group of people carrying the sedan chair had already entered the entrance of the village and walked straight to the courtyard of Lao Zhang's house, so I followed Lao Liu and Mo Bingkun into the courtyard of Lao Zhang's house with Lao Liu and Mo Bingkun.

On a tall horse, a man wearing a big red flower on his chest looked directly at the Zhang family's compound in front of him. This person is none other than Zhang Song, the groom official of this wedding and the son of Lao Zhang. At this time, for some reason, he was a little embarrassed, his face was a little sluggish, and there seemed to be a little struggle and ...... in the depths of his eyes Bitter! That's right! It's bitter! But he still cheered up and led the sedan chair into the Zhang family compound with a smile.

As soon as Zhang Song entered the lobby, Lao Zhang walked out quickly, grabbed Zhang Song, and asked with a concerned face: "Baby, why did you come back so late?" Did you run into something on the way? ”

"Dad, it's not a big deal, but there is a heavy fog on the road today, which delays the trip, so you can rest assured." Zhang Song hurriedly hugged Lao Zhang and said.

"Look at what time it is? Yes? Our whole village is worried about you! What really happened on the way? Lao Zhang asked.

"Don't worry, you see, I'm not going to pick it up, Cuicui! You old man, just sit in this hall and wait for us to visit the church! Zhang Song changed his words, sloppy eyes, and did not answer Lao Liu. Lao Liu wanted to ask something more, but the wife on the side grabbed it, and after thinking about it, his son was finally married and started a business, and he was very pleased, and this happiness couldn't be so much.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, I looked at the smiling folds of the old Zhang couple, and I couldn't help but sigh. Immediately, I remembered what Lao Liu said about the smell of dead people, so I turned my head to look at Lao Liu, and wanted to ask what the smell of dead people was. But he turned his head and saw Lao Liu's slightly squinted eyes, and he didn't know when he was already round! The next moment, a faint blue fire light quietly reflected in his pupils! I was about to ask Lao Liu what was going on, but before I could ask, I was interrupted by Lao Liu!

"Xiao Wu, look!"

Lao Liu pointed ahead with his chin. I immediately turned my head to follow his gaze. It doesn't matter what I see, I was so shocked that my scalp exploded, and I felt a cold breath coming out of the soles of my feet and rushing straight to my head! I saw that Lao Zhang's small yard was burning a large faint blue flame at some point!

Suddenly, the small courtyard that was originally full of laughter exploded! The cries of children, the screams of women, and the suona sound that has not stopped since the appearance of the welcoming procession! The courtyard was a mess of porridge, and the blue flame floated with the restlessness of the people, and it seemed to go straight to the lobby with long eyes! Everyone turned pale one by one, looking at the galloping blue flames at a loss.

"Ulahan! Ulahan! I don't know who took the lead in shouting, as soon as the villagers heard these three words, the fear on their faces became even stronger, and they knelt on the ground one by one and shouted: "Wu Lahan! Ulahan! Ulahan! "Although Lao Liu and Mo Bingkun and I were a little panicked when we saw the blue flame, we all understood that it was phosphorus fire, but now that the villagers came out like this, it really made us into two monks. But there is a saying, it is not customary to follow the customs, so you have to follow the villagers and lie on the ground.

"What are these villagers doing? And what does 'Ulahan' mean by their mouths? I asked.

"In Chinese, 'Wulahan' means the demon in the swamp, the guardian of the entrance to hell." Unexpectedly, this time I answered that since it was a ghost hand Mo Bingkun. He has always been reticent, but he has always been able to turn the tide when it matters most.

"Dian Kingdom? What is that place? I asked.

"The country established by the ancient ethnic minorities in the southwest frontier of China, the territory is mainly in the central and eastern regions of Yunnan with Dianchi Lake as the center, and in 278 BC, Zhuang Qiao established the Dian State." Ghost Hand's answer was still so simple and to the point, without half a sentence of nonsense, and without any emotional fluctuations.

Lao Liu patted his thigh and said: "The country established by the ancient ethnic minorities in the southwest frontier of China is mainly in the central and eastern regions of Yunnan with Dianchi Lake as the center, and historians are accustomed to calling it the Dian nationality. In 278 B.C., the Chu general Zhuang Qiao led a team to the Dianchi area, the purpose of which was to conquer the local people and belong to the Chu state, and then because the way back was cut off by the Qin state, he stayed in the Dianchi area and established the Dianchi country, and the capital was in Jincheng, Jinning County. According to documentary records and archaeological discoveries, the Dian Kingdom existed in the history of Yunnan for about 500 years, appeared in the early Warring States period and disappeared in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty. In 109 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to conquer Yunnan, and the King of Dian surrendered to Han. ”

I looked at the ghost hand, and he didn't speak, obviously acquiescing to Lao Liu's words. Now we are in Qingshui Village, which is located in the hinterland of Yunnan, and from this point of view, the villagers here are inextricably linked to the ancient and mysterious Dian Kingdom. But according to Lao Liu, didn't the Dian Kingdom surrender to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as early as 109 BC? And later in history, there was a greater or less, large and small ethnic integration, according to common sense, shouldn't the Dian Kingdom be wiped out in the long river of history? So, what about these villagers?

The more I thought about it, the more chaotic my mind became, and I simply stopped thinking about it. Looking further into the courtyard, the phosphorus fire had been extinguished, and it took a long time for the villagers to rise from the ground tremblingly, and the three of us looked at each other, and we all felt that this village was not as simple as it seemed.

After such a fuss, the already tense atmosphere became even more treacherous. Everyone didn't say anything, but their hearts were all up and down, and they were beating drums with anxiety.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my baby has made a lot of trouble with a happy event today, I also know that everyone is tired, my baby will visit the church immediately, and I hope that everyone will give a face to witness for them, if you really don't want to stay, go home early, we can understand......" Lao Zhang was planning to appease everyone, and quickly finished the marriage, after all, so many strange things happened, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a screaming voice.

"Ulahhan, Ullahhan, Ullahhan! As soon as you enter Qingshui Village, you will never turn over! We're eating dead human flesh! It's a dead man's head! Drink the water of the Nai River! It's a bad time! Live in the ghost hope slope! It's a blank paper man who lives! It touched the anger of the King of Dian! Hahahaha...... Hahahaha...... Behold, the king of Dian is angry! The King of Dian is furious! Once you enter Qingshui Village, you will never turn over! Don't turn over! Hahahaha...... You're all going to die!! ”

This sound is just like a female ghost screaming hysterically in a deserted grave in the middle of the night, and like someone scratching the coffin board in a coffin, which makes people's scalp tingle and worry from the bottom of their hearts! Looking for the sound, I saw a dark figure at the gate of the courtyard! By a glimmer of light in the courtyard, I saw that it was a rickety old woman in ragged clothes! She's smiling at me! A row of pitch-black teeth is exposed! This time, I was so scared that all three souls were born, and all six souls were lost!

"It's the crazy woman in the village! Get her out of here, or nothing good will happen in a while!" ”

I don't know who recognized the horrible old woman, and then two or three men with a tiger's back came and drove her away, but her goosebump-giving voice still echoed in my ears for a long time. The atmosphere in the courtyard was extremely strange, and Lao Zhang's face was as white as a piece of paper.

After such a toss, there were only a few people left in the Zhang family compound. Zhang Song led his wife into the lobby, and the matchmaker cleared her throat and shouted as happily as she could: "The bride and groom visit the church!" Worship heaven and earth! ”

Zhang Song turned around and bowed down to the door, but the bride beside him did not move. Zhang Song stretched out his hand and pulled the bride, but the bride still didn't react, like a ...... Corpse! The lobby was quiet and scary, Zhang Song trembled and pulled the bride again, this time, the bride fell straight back, fell to the ground with a heavy thud, and fell apart! A round eye gurgled out! The bride turned into a stone statue at some point!
