Chapter 20: Garlands
In the past, the past was as vivid as in front of him, and Wen Quzhi vaguely remembered that similar weddings had been "held" many times, and even his father and Mrs. Long had come to see them, maybe ...... The Adulterers*...... Well, it was the true love of the couple who advocated free love that got the inspiration from this and began to carry out their dirty project later.
According to psychological research, ritualization, the impact on people is very great, I met Long Xian'er when I was a child, I was still an ignorant child at that age, I didn't know what feelings were, but I remembered it so vividly, and then I thought about it day and night, maybe it was because the ceremony was held enough!
...... That relationship ended in tragedy, which should also be a reason, if he was not thrown out of the Long family by dung, but only separated peacefully, and did not be displaced because of this, gritted his teeth with hatred, and was so sad that he was sad, this relationship, which was not a relationship in the first place, should be gradually forgotten with the passage of time.
If this is the case, maybe one day, when I look back, I will only smile slightly, and treat this as a childhood joke, along with all the memories between the two, will be wasted together, and it will not be so deeply seared in my heart and never forgotten......
Wen Quzhi shook his head, shook off these chaotic thoughts for a while, and opened his mouth to change the topic, "You are destined to hold the authority of the Hades Emperor, and now you have become a powerful person, and you are the top existence of the Origin Human Race, and you have always been arrogant, and you can't imagine that you will succumb so easily when you encounter oppression?"
“...... What about people, if you can see a little farther, you won't feel that you have anything great, the so-called peak of the Origin Realm Human Race, put into the heavens, is just a little dust, just a little power, in fact, it is the same as the bottom of the heavenly ladder, what kind of peak of majesty do you want? Out of the Origin Realm, there are many times when people are pressed on the ground as a rag, I have always been able to bend and stretch, and I have a good attitude. ”
Long Xian'er said with a smile: "No matter what, I have much more experience than you in being pressed on the ground and scrubbing and washing your face by that kind of existence that can't resist at all! ”
Hearing this, Wen Qu's heart moved, and he wanted to ask directly, "At the beginning, was that person forced you to do those things", but he couldn't say anything, for fear that after knowing the answer, he would not know what to do next.
Things have already happened, even if they are forced to do so? Even if they are out of helplessness? If you want to talk about helplessness, who in the world does not have it, and there are many of them...... If it was something else, he might have used this to persuade himself to let it go gently, but the sea of blood and hatred, the debts of countless brothers, a sentence of force, a helplessness, let go of himself, how to go to the dead brother opposite?
"Okay, since you don't want to move, just continue to sit here, and I'll go change and make up. Long Xian'er smiled: "Anyway, the words over there have already been put down, if you want to rush out to resist, you will be killed first, at least I will be the one who survives to the end." ”
“...... Is this really that important to you in the end?"
This obviously sarcastic ridicule of greed for life and fear of death, with Long Xian'er's usual immobility like a mountain, he couldn't help but take a pause, and then regained his smile, and said nonchalantly: "If it's not important to you, you can rush out now and die directly." ”
Long Xian'er smiled skillfully and went into the house to change her clothes and groom for the next ceremony, while Wen Quzhi sat quietly in the hall and did not move for a long time.
Outside the house, the whole underworld is in turmoil for this, this matter is unprecedented, it can be said to be the first time since the beginning of the world, but at this moment, in addition to those bottomless hells, there are a few serious forests, the rest of the place is jubilant, hanging red lights everywhere, knotting colorful satin, a jubilant atmosphere...... No one would believe that Hades would have such a day!
Although such an atmosphere can be said to be extremely incongruous in the Hades, since the Hell Dragon Emperor did not speak, and the Ten Halls Yama did not see it, the ten ghosts had no opinion, and they let the situation go on, and in fact, the really incongruous things were not only the joyful atmosphere in the Hades, but also the snoopers who should not exist.
A lonely mountain, covered in thick shadows, can overlook the large hall in the countless red lights, and in the black forest on the mountain, there are two figures, looking at the noise in the large hall from afar, and the small red mansion in the distance.
The two of them stood there, although there was no dangerous threat, but they all gave people a feeling of "that place is particularly dark", one of them was an ordinary middle-aged man, his face was even more ordinary, there was nothing special, and the woman next to him had a graceful posture, but her face was covered with a colorful flow, which was the Heavenly Artifact Seven Evils.
“...... I really didn't expect that the demon lord would be willing to give it to you to use. The middle-aged man said: "This is the treasure of the Demon Lord's enlightenment, not an ordinary heavenly god soldier, he is actually willing to hand it over to you to carry out this mission." ”
"You're not talking nonsense? If you don't have the Celestial Soldiers in hand, with our cultivation, how can we sneak into the underworld? You can't even get through that wall, do you think that with his intelligence, we will be stupid to come here and run into a wall, and even give away our lives for nothing, wasting time?"
The girl sneered: "The matter of the hungry ghost is related to his years of planning, if he doesn't smash some books, where can he get the wolf back?"
The middle-aged man first glanced at the auditorium, then turned around and said, "Wen Quai's next marriage with the Divine Concubine is going to be, you can't be so indifferent, ......right?
"What's your business? Don't forget what we're here for? Don't think that now that you have a demon title, you can talk about anything in front of me. ”
The girl said coldly: "Task first, work first, the most important goal this time is the hungry ghost, followed by the tyrant knife, and finally your personal treasure hunting private work, as for my own affairs, I will put it at the end, don't worry about it, the demon lord has made such a heavy investment this time, if he fails to go back in the end, he will definitely be flayed alive!"
The middle-aged man nodded immediately, "It makes sense, it's rare that you can be so rational this time, taking into account the overall situation, I think the demon lord should be very happy to hear it." ”
...... Having said that, this woman was notoriously willful and reckless in the team at the beginning, regardless of the overall situation, and now the more seriously she says that she wants to put the task first, the more it means that she has a ghost in her heart, which is really untrustworthy at all.
This time she sneaked into the underworld, but encountered Wen Qu's illness, which was a big accident that was not planned in the original plan, with the friendship between her and Wen Qu's illness, as well as the hostility with Long Xian'er, to say that this big wedding was not stimulating to her at all, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to think about it, and now it sounds good, maybe when the wedding starts, she will be directly resentful, lose her mind, rush out and smash the field, and even expose herself.
"The territory of the underworld is vast......," the middle-aged man said slowly, "It's better for us to act separately and search separately." Wait for something to be discovered, confirm the target, you can't do it alone, and it's not too late to join forces at the convergence. ”
The girl glanced at it obliquely, as if she had seen through the middle-aged man's thoughts, and smiled coldly, "It's okay, I don't have to be pulled back by you......"
The two sides reached a consensus, and the voice in the black mountain fell silent, and in the small building of Huangquan, the team of ghosts saw that the auspicious time had come, and took the initiative to open the door to welcome the two newcomers inside.
Wen Quzhi waited in the hall early in the morning, and when he saw the door opened, he took the initiative to walk out, his body was still the same as before, he didn't seem to have any preparations, and he was completely resistant to this wedding, but in fact, he still took the time to shave his beard and tidy his hair, so that his appearance looked fresher.
A judge stepped forward to greet the bridegroom, and before he could speak, the sound of footsteps in the house came, but it was a bride dressed in a red dress, with slender lotus steps and a thousand demeanors, and walked out of the house.
The bride's moving beauty made the judge stunned, and Wen Quzhi also had a temporary sense of dizziness, staring at Long Xian'er's shining light, and his chest was even more inexplicably moved.
The bride's big red wedding dress, the embroidery is extremely fine, it can be seen that it is ingenious, very very Hades, the dragon and phoenix patterns are embroidered with black threads, just look carefully, you will find that the dragon scales on the top fall off, the phoenix feathers are incomplete, it is a bone dragon and a corpse phoenix, intertwined and soaring, mysterious and evil, worn on the body, it is completely a scene of the evil style of the bride of hell.
Such a weird wedding dress, if the bride's own aura is not strong enough to control it, it looks like it will become a scene of female ghosts asking for her life, but Long Xian'er has no such trouble at all, so the wedding dress full of cursed atmosphere is forced by her to wear a queen's momentum, as if the master of the underworld, every step out, as if there are hundreds of ghosts surrounded, ten thousand souls praise, others just take a look at it, they all feel that the soul is shaken, as if they want to fly out of the body, follow the side.
Walking all the way to Wen Quai's side, Long Xian'er turned her head and glanced at him, and didn't ask if it looked good, but just smiled: "The time has come, let's get on the road!"
Wen Quyan seemed to wake up from a dream, but said with a wry smile: "How awkward it sounds when you say this in this place! In hell, what road are we going to take? And you...... Isn't there a veil or a hijab or anything like that? It looks like there's something missing......"
"There was originally a hijab inside, and a bunch of gold threads were wrapped around it, but I didn't ask for it, so I threw it aside casually, and I ...... I don't want to walk blindfolded by anything anymore, especially when I wait a minute, I want to see everything clearly and remember it clearly. ”
Long Xian'er smiled, as gorgeous as a hundred flowers, "It's not bad, right? When the two of us saluted in the past, we didn't have hijabs every time." ”
At this time, a bull head hurriedly came from outside, sending a wreath, I don't know what roadside wildflowers are weaving, but there is a bit of fresh and elegant, the weaving style, vaguely is the kind that Wen Qubing made by himself, it looks very familiar, and it hooked the past memory of Wen Quai.
Long Xian'er smiled and said, "This garland ...... It's pretty good. ”
Picking it up casually and putting it on the top of her head, Long Xian'er smiled slightly, turned her head sideways and asked Wen Quzhi, "Am I good-looking?"
In Wen Quzhi's eyes, the shadow in front of him vaguely overlapped with the memories of childhood, the confident, kind and cheerful girl, wearing a red dress and a wreath woven by herself, stood there, waiting for herself to go over and worship heaven and earth together...... At that time, the bright sunshine was sprinkled like spring, and everything was so pure and full of hope...... Obviously had such a good start, why did everyone go wrong in the end?
"You...... It's beautiful!"
Unable to suppress the throbbing in her heart any longer, Wen Qu was sick and blurted out, while Long Xian'er bowed slightly, thanked her for this compliment, and left together surrounded by ghosts.
In front of the auditorium, thousands of ghosts from the underworld were already waiting in line over there, and next to the bull head and horse face led by him, there was suddenly an additional figure, and the bull head suddenly exclaimed: "Little white boy, where did you go before? Everyone is waiting for you!"
"I'm not a newcomer, what are you waiting for me to do?
Xiaobai then complained: "Those two scumbags, pick and choose, twist and pinch, must not make people feel better, don't cover the headscarf well, but what kind of ghost wreath do you like, do you know how troublesome it is to find flowers in the underworld temporarily? ”
“...... That's all self-inflicted, and this whole thing is not all you can toss it up. ”
"Quietly, those two came out. ”
Seeing the newcomer team approaching, Xiao Bai let out a long laugh, strode forward, and took the initiative to meet Wen Quai, "Hey, Holy Son, our flower of the underworld was married by you like this, it's not so simple!
