Chapter 272: Dumplings (17)
The night was as deep as a cloud of thick ink.
The dense forest outside Shixia Village was exceptionally quiet, and Yun Niang was dressed in night clothes, stepping on dead branches and fallen leaves. She knew that it would not be far away to be the cemetery where Miss Yun was buried.
There was a strange birdsong overhead, as if someone was pinching his throat and talking, and Yun Niang's scalp was tingling for a while. Just as she stopped, trying to find out where the birdsong came from, there was another sound of blowing and beating.
That voice is not unfamiliar to Yun Niang. More than half a year ago, she was ordered by her master to infiltrate the Yun family as a bride. The Yun family is a ceremony to marry Mrs. Zheng, so the gongs and drums are readily available. Right now, what echoes in her ears is the sound of gongs and drums to marry the newlyweds.
Marrying a wife at midnight is obviously unreasonable, especially since this forest is not the only way for the wedding and funeral of the nearby village chief. Yun Niang hid herself in the shadows and pulled out the short sword she carried with her.
The sound of gongs and drums was getting closer and closer, and soon Yun Niang saw the team. In the dark night, the marriage team seemed to have its own halo, and a faint silver halo faded in the night. The sedan chair man in the big red wedding dress walked past her with the sedan chair, Yun Niang only felt a trance, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already in the sedan chair.
"Damn, it's a moral!"
Yun Niang cursed in her heart while carefully observing the surrounding environment. The sedan chair is not big, and the Communist Party can only accommodate her alone. She touched the inner wall of the sedan chair with her hand and found that the sedan chair was actually pasted with red paper.
A paper sedan chair that only the dead can use.
Yun Niang took a short knife and gently opened the sedan curtain, and saw that the outside of the sedan chair was still pitch black, but in the dark, the outline of the tree could be faintly distinguished. It seems that although she has fallen into the Tao, she is still in the dense forest. Just as I was thinking about whether to rush out, a gust of wind blew from somewhere, blowing the whole sedan chair back and forth.
Outside the sedan chair, a lantern with a huge happy character swayed in the night, just like an old man who had run out of oil and dried up the lamp, and could lose his precious life at any time. Yun Niang tried her best to stabilize her body, and at the same time carefully used her sword to remove the glue of the paper sedan chair, wanting to take the opportunity to slip out of the sedan chair.
But at this moment, the gust of wind suddenly stopped, and a thick fog appeared directly in front of the dense forest. When the thick fog hit in front of her, Yun Niang noticed that the fog was not white, but bright red!
Everywhere the dense fog passed, the paper sedan chairmen who were blowing and blowing seemed to be frozen, followed by rapid bending, shrinking, and burning with a "stabbing sound".
Yun Niang is not a person who has never seen the world, since she followed her master, she has long been accustomed to all kinds of unbelievable events, even herself, has learned a lot of unpredictable skills, such as a complete hijab change, and then for example, driving dolls with living beings, and even devouring the souls of living beings. She knows that she is not a demon, but she is not a normal person either.
Everything that happened in front of her would indeed make Yun Niang's heart palpitate, but if you wanted to scare her, you would underestimate her. She looked at the thick fog as she quickly peeled off the paper sedan bond with her short sword. The fog spread with a murderous aura, but when it pounced on the sedan chair, it slowed down.
The paper sedan chair was finally peeled open, and Yun Niang cautiously walked out of it, her feet just landed, but she was caught by a pair of hands. Yun Niang looked down and found that the hands were not the hands of the paper man, but the rotten and smelly hands of dead people sticking out from under the ground. The hands tightly grasped Yun Niang's bare feet, as if they had grown together.
"To die, you dare to scratch your aunt's feet!"
Yun Niang said, quickly possessed, raised the knife in her hand, and cut off the dead man's hands. **'s hands fell to the ground, startling down many maggots, and then the maggots writhed and crawled away.
A gust of cold wind blew, making Yun Niang, who had just gotten up, shiver, and looked back, a black figure appeared in the bright red fog. Yun Niang squinted, and saw that the black figure was slowly walking towards her, but because the sky was too dark and the fog was thick, Yun Niang couldn't see who the other party was at all. She glanced at the black shadow vigilantly, held the short sword across her chest, and instantly turned a cold face.
Soon, that person appeared in front of Yun Niang, and when Yun Niang saw his appearance clearly, she was slightly stunned. The person in front of him turned out to be Ma Gongzi, who died earlier, that is, the fiancΓ© of Miss Yun.
"Young Master Ma?"
Yun Niang called tentatively, Ma Gongzi heard the voice, twisted his neck stiffly, and slowly lifted it up. Yun Niang finally saw the other party's appearance clearly, her face was dead and white, her forehead was still stained with mud, her facial features were rotten and deformed, and there were still a few maggots in and out of the carrion. The teeth are half-open, exposed outside the lips, which makes people feel a little sick to look at.
Yun Niang held the short sword, and while looking at Ma Gongzi, who seemed to have just crawled out of the ground, slowly retreated backwards. Ma Gongzi didn't mean to chase her, just stood in place, looking at Yun Niang who was retreating step by step with his only remaining eyes that were beginning to rot, and let out a creepy laugh.
Yun Niang shuttled rapidly in the dense forest, and the dim moonlight seemed to have spirituality, only shining on the piece above her head. The bright red mist began to come alive again, and they surrounded Yun Niang, as if Yun Niang was dragging a long red wedding dress when she ran.
A round grave bag appeared in Yun Niang's sight, she recognized the grave bag, when Miss Yun was buried, she was also at the scene as a stepmother. Yun Niang stopped and began to recall the route she had just run. She remembered that she did not run in this direction, because Ma Gongzi was standing on that road at that time, hindering her progress.
In the dense forest, ordinary people will lose their way, especially in the panic, so Yun Niang doesn't think that she can find this place by mistake. The bright red fog around her had not yet cleared, and Yun Niang was almost certain that she herself was still in someone's calculations.
She held the dagger in her hand, calming her slightly flustered heart. Take a deep breath, once, twice, and just as she raised her head to take a closer look at her surroundings, she saw Ma Gongzi again. The half-rotten gentleman was standing in front of her at this time, and when she looked up, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Yun Niang's neck, and then pulled her hard, pulling her to himself, and then, a face that showed greed, slowly approached Yun Niang's fair face.
"Damn it!"
Yun Niang cursed in her heart, and stuck the short knife into Ma Gongzi's body with her backhand. The blade entered the body, and Ma Gongzi snorted in pain, but he still stubbornly put that rotten face on Yun Niang's face and greedily sucked it.
Wisps of white yang energy were running out of Yun Niang's mouth and nose, and then ran into the mouth of Ma Gongzi's rotting corpse. Yun Niang finally realized the feeling of being sucked into her soul, her face gradually showed a painful expression, the muscles in her body began to slowly atrophy, and it didn't take long for that originally delicate face to quickly change like a dehydrated melon fruit.
In Yunzhai, the incense on the table suddenly broke. Mo You quietly looked at the broken incense and sighed lightly.
Behind him, the hidden door was pushed open, and a man walked in. The man, dressed in a dark shirt, stood in the shadow of the wooden door with his back to the sun, making it impossible to see his face.
"Now, you're satisfied! It is up to you to send the most powerful men of mine to the sacrifice. Mo Xu turned around and looked at the man's indifferent eyes: "Okay, Yun Niang, she also came out with you, don't you think of the half of your affection." β
"It's not that I don't read it, it's just that I can't help it." The man said indifferently: "I want to go by myself, but do you think that thing can take a fancy to me?" β
Mo Xu squinted and smiled: "Also, that thing's appetite is quite picky, even if it is me, she may not be able to look at it." By the way, how about Xiao Ruyi? When she heard that she saw the body of the bell, she fainted from tears. Qingqiu's fox is not so easy to deceive, if you let him know that the death of the bell was actually arranged by you in secret, do you think your fate will be better than Yun Niang? And Xiao Ruyi, if she knows the truth in the future, what do you think she will do to you? β
"It's a big deal to cramp and peel the skin, and there is no corpse to die!" The man said lightly, and he didn't seem to take these things to heart.
"What are you going to do with the Yun family's affairs? Yun Niang is dead, and that old thing of the Yun family is afraid that it will get out of control. It is estimated that you have raised it almost, so hurry up and deal with it, the one in the inner courtyard of the deep palace can't wait. β
"Don't worry, I've already arranged the affairs of the Yun family. As long as the fox and Xiao Ruyi don't interfere anymore, after tonight, all traces will be wiped clean. β
"Why did you draw them in if you weren't going to let them get involved? Needless to say, what are you calculating in your heart? The man's eyes sank, and there was a hint of unkindness in his eyes when he looked at him.
"I have my own calculations for this matter, but it's not time yet, and when the time comes, you will naturally know." He pinched his long beard with his hand: "The secret passage under the grave, you sent someone to deal with it, right?" I originally wanted to take advantage of last night to let Yun Niang lead the fox and Xiao Ruyi over, but I never thought that you would insert a pole in the middle. You and I both work for him, but in different ways. I won't pursue last night's incident, but in the future, you will still walk on Yangguan Road, and I will still cross my single-plank bridge, and the two of us will rely on our own abilities, so it is best not to interfere with each other. In case of delaying a major event, neither you nor I can afford the consequences. β
The man twitched the corners of his mouth, glanced at him, and did not speak.
Mo Xuyou shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the door: "It's not too early, you should go back too!" β
