Chapter 180: Departure
One of them was dressed in purple and had a handsome face, even if he was sitting there, he could see that he was a speed ghost king, and this person should be the wind king Yu Lingfeng. Beside Yu Lingfeng sat a woman in green clothes, petite, with a baby face, and the woman's big round eyes flickered curiously at the two newcomers in the middle of the hall. This baby-faced woman can't be the Burning King Huo Ling'er!
Huo Ling'er felt my gaze and turned her head to give me a silly smile.
I was dumbfounded, this Burning King is a bit too much!
In the main hall, the master of ceremonies raised his voice and sang: "When the auspicious time comes, the bride and groom worship heaven and earth!" ”
Lin Yuantao and Yan Xiqing both stood still, and the master of ceremonies sang "Worship heaven and earth!" ”
The two bowed in the direction of the outside of the hall.
"Second worship high hall!"
The two bowed to Cangyulou again, and Cangyulou nodded with a smile on his face.
"Husband and wife worship each other!"
The two faced each other and bowed to each other.
"Licheng! Please take your seats! ”
After the master of ceremonies finished singing, the guests crowded in the front hall all came up to congratulate the two newlyweds, and only after the congratulations did they sit down at the banquet table in front of the hall.
At the table with me were several managers of the living area, and they were all very enthusiastic when they saw me, either calling me "Lin Tianshi" or "benefactor, benefactor", which made me embarrassed and a little fluttering at the same time.
It's no wonder that since ancient times, men have been good heroes, and it turns out that it feels so good to be praised by others.
The feast lasted until the time of the lantern, and several old people in the living area were already drunk and couldn't tell the difference, and the ghosts who came to the wedding were also drunk with their faces staggered.
I shook my head and slowly walked towards the bamboo building with my somewhat dizzy head.
"Brother Lin Xi, how are you?" Cangyulou didn't know where it came from, and she saw that I kept holding my head with my hand and caring.
"It's okay, it's just that I've drunk a little too much and I'm a little dizzy!" I smiled gratefully at Cangyulou and said.
"I have a sobering sticker here, you can go back and stick it on your temples and your head won't hurt!" Cang Yulou took two black pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them to me.
"Thank you!" I put the piece of paper in my trouser pocket and thanked Cangyulou.
"Brother Lin Xi, when do you plan to go back?" Cangyulou seemed to want to chat with me, and asked me about going back.
"I'm going to leave tomorrow, I've been in the ghost capital for so long and I've caused a lot of trouble to the city lord, so I should go back too!" I returned with a smile.
Cangyulou leaned half of his body against the pillar and said casually: "Yes! In the blink of an eye, you have been in the ghost capital for seven years! In the past seven years, the ghost capital is still the same ghost capital, but the military division is no longer the military division! ”
I was dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer.
Cangyulou didn't mean to let me answer, she smiled faintly and continued: "Back then, I wanted to be the Hades King, but I didn't expect that the Hades King had already been chosen by God, and our Great Ghost Domain competed with each other, but they were all making wedding dresses for others. For the sake of the capital city, I committed suicide and became a ghost king. finally let the devastated ghosts regain a little vitality, and met Ah Tao who betrayed the underworld. I fell in love with Ah Tao at first sight, and I thought that if I could marry him, I would be willing to give him the position of city lord. But he didn't expect that what he was thinking about was someone else. ”
I listened quietly, not saying a word.
"Alright! Since I can't be the king of Hades and the bride of Ah Tao, then I will be my city lord! Protect my people from any threat! Cang Yulou turned his face to me, his expression focused and solemn, "Brother Lin Xi, your identity is too special, no matter where you go, you will become the object of coveted by others." The city had already suffered a catastrophe forty years ago, and it could not suffer a second time. Your life-saving grace to Ah Tao, Ah Tao also returned it to you with half of his soul power! Now that Tao and Miss Yan are married, I think Tao also hopes to live a stable life! After all, whether it was during his lifetime or after becoming a ghost, his life has never been peaceful! ”
My face turned pale suddenly, and the meaning of Cangyulou's words could not be clearer.
Cang Yulou sighed, with a little apology in his tone, "Brother Lin Xi, I hope you can understand my responsibility and helplessness as the lord of a city!" ”
"I understand!" I smiled bitterly and said, "Please rest assured, the city lord, I will have nothing to do with the city after I leave the city this time!" ”
"Brother Lin Xi......" Cangyulou opened his mouth, and finally sighed and said, "I know that there is a secret passage in the city, and you can return directly to the yang world without going through the entrances and exits." Where to go, then the onmyoji of the Zhong Lu family will not find out. ”
"Good! Then I'll go pack up my things and ask the city lord to give me ten minutes!" "Cangyulou is now telling me that there is a secret passage to go out, just hoping that I will leave while Lin Yuantao and Yan Xiqing are in the cave. In that case, I won't be so cheeky that I will continue to rely on this.
Cangyulou let out a soft "um", and I hugged her fist and walked quickly towards the bamboo building.
I put my two newly purchased clothes in my bag and strode to the cloister with my backpack on my back. Cangyulou put his hands behind his back and stood there quietly. When she heard my footsteps, she turned to me and nodded slightly, before turning and leading me down the tunnel.
The entrance to the secret passage that Cangyulou said was a dry well in the backyard of the city lord's mansion, and before arriving at the dry well, Cangyulou jumped into it first.
I probed in with my mental strength, and when I saw that the dry well was only more than two meters deep, and there was nothing suspicious underneath, I jumped in.
When Cangyulou saw me coming down, he turned around and walked forward.
I realized that there was a tunnel under the dry well, and I followed behind Cangyulou and slowly walked into the tunnel, the more I went inside, the thinner the air became, and after half an hour I felt my chest swell very uncomfortably.
I took out a piece of gold table paper from my bag, quickly drew an apnea charm on it, and after reciting the mantra blessing, I held the paper in my mouth.
This breath-holding charm will keep me from breathing for ten minutes, and in another ten minutes I should be able to get out of this tunnel.
After walking for a few more minutes, the tunnel still had no end trend, and I was a little uneasy to release Zhao Huan from the soul locking jade.
After walking for nearly ten minutes, I finally walked out of the tunnel when I felt tightness in my chest and shortness of breath.
"Brother Lin Xi, you can go all the way from this road to the exit! I'll send you here, I wish you a smooth journey and revenge! Cangyulou pointed to a path in front of him, his eyes shining.
"Thank you, City Lord!" I clasped my hands into fists and saluted Cangyu Tower. I didn't say anything goodbye, I didn't say anything about the future, Cangyulou said that I wouldn't come to the capital city again in the future, so there will be no more days for us to meet.
"Take care!" After Cangyulou returned the salute with his fists, he turned around and disappeared into the dark tunnel.
