Chapter 236: The Bride Has Arrived
On the second day of the first month of April, the east of the east, the northern dangerous moon swallow, fierce.
Guobei County has not yet come out of the influence of Liu Yidao's escape from prison, and people began to rumor that this former head hunter and current fugitive is actually a cultivator, but he is cultivating the ghost path, and he wants to use human bones to build a Jingguan, and absorb yin qi into the body through some evil ritual, and practice himself into a person who is not a human or a ghost but is extremely powerful.
There are even idlers who swear that they have seen a bone tower made of stacked skulls in the forest near Lanruo Temple, and each skull has five swarthy finger holes, presumably caused by Na Liu's knife.
The people in the city are terrified, but some of the ghosts outside the city are jubilant.
Because today is the day of the thousand-year-old tree demon grandmother marrying her daughter.
It is said that grandma had a long secret conversation with the now popular villain Liu Yidao that day, and finally reached the five principles of peaceful coexistence, agreeing to govern the surrounding area of Lanruo Temple together, and the strong men will return to grandma, and beautiful women will return to Liu Yidao.
Correspondingly, Liu Yidao no longer endlessly harasses Grandma's forces, and provides appropriate help when other forces encroach on the invasion.
And grandma took this marriage as an opportunity to introduce Liu Yidao to the old demon of Montenegro, so that he could get the protection of the city of vain death after a hundred years, so as to avoid the fate of going to the underworld to drain his heart.
After the negotiation, Liu Yidao left freely, but grandma found that Xiaoqian was gone.
The dwelling in the forest, the Water Pavilion and the Lanruo Temple, all the places that may be hidden are all searched, and there is still no trace of her unique ghostly aura.
Just vanished out of thin air.
Seeing that the wedding date agreed with the old demon of Montenegro was imminent, Grandma was so angry that she used a rattan whip to scatter seven or eight little ghosts and demons, and was hesitating whether to destroy her ashes and let the soul of this escaped slut fly away, but Xiaoqian came back.
Came back the night before the wedding.
No matter how her grandmother forced her to go, she always only said that she was greedy for the prosperity of the world, and went to the surrounding county to visit a few new places, but kept silent about her more detailed whereabouts.
She's a ghost, of course.
However, Grandma no longer took the time to interrogate too much, but just kept an eye on her personally to prevent her from escaping again.
Anyway, it won't be long before she is a ghost in the city of death, and I believe that the old demon of Montenegro who is crazy about 100,000 souls has a way to clean her up.
Today is the day.
……
The remnant sun faded, and darkness once again covered the land.
The wild forest around Lanruo Temple was foggy at night, and a strange team was shuttling through it.
The team does not carry lanterns, but the head is a burly-looking, tiger-backed ghost general, led by a team of bloodless ghost pawns, all of whom did not hold weapons, but beat gongs and drummed suona, and some people squandered paper money all the way, which looked very lively.
The only strange thing is that the whole team didn't make a sound, not only that the body of this team of centaurs had no weight, it touched the ground silently, and even those gongs, drums, and suona didn't make a sound.
In the middle of the procession is an eight-lift sedan chair, with no compartment walls around it, but slightly covered with red tulle. The night breeze blows, the red yarn is raised, and the people in the sedan chair can be vaguely seen.
Xiao Qian was sitting in a sedan chair at this time, without a hijab, with a phoenix crown and a wide skirt behind her, elegant and luxurious. The jade-like green silk is simply curled in a flying fairy bun under the service of a little ghost maid, and a few plump and round pearls are randomly embellished in the hair, making the cloud-like hair more soft and moisturized.
She didn't have much expression on her face, and looked a little blankly ahead, not knowing what she was thinking.
The path in the woods was narrow, and the team went down a side road, but never came out from the other end.
……
Yan Chixia looked at the moonlight outside the window, carefully closed the window, pasted a few charms, took a deep look at the stiff corpse in the blood stains on the ground, sighed lightly, and then walked out of Lanruo Temple.
When he came to the locust tree in the back mountain, his grandmother had already appeared and was waiting for him under the false support of the maid.
"Liu Yidao, you're late, my daughter has been taken to the city in vain by the team that picked up the relatives, we won't go over, I'm afraid we will miss the feast of the old demon of Montenegro." Grandma was a little impatient and said coldly.
Yan Chixia grinned and waved her hand nonchalantly: "What's the hurry, didn't I tell you, I can only break through the barrier between yin and yang The time of the three incense sticks, if I go early, I'm afraid I will have to come back before I start." ”
"Hmph, it's rare to open the entrance to the city for a happy event today, once I get through today, even if it is difficult for me to enter the city, it is even more impossible to introduce you."
"Okay, okay, I'm just trying to find a place for myself in a hundred years, old dryad, you helped me this time, I will definitely repay you in the future." Yan Chixia smiled very sincerely.
"Then let's go, you can follow." Grandma's body was full of demonic energy, and a puff of gray smoke enveloped her and the two maids and disappeared.
Yan Chixia's smile retracted, and a trace of firmness flashed in her eyes.
With a slap of the sword box, the golden ancient sword slashed down in the air under the command of the sword technique, faintly splitting out an imperceptible transparent ripple in the space in front of him.
He gritted his teeth and plunged in.
……
There was no mansion in the city, only a high platform in the center.
On weekdays, the old demon of Montenegro overlooks the square under the stage on a high platform. He didn't even have a bed, as long as he had nothing to do, he sat on the throne carved out of the black boulder and supervised the training of 10,000 ghost soldiers.
At this time, of course, there was no military training, and a slightly smaller stone seat was placed next to the black stone seat, and then a long square table and human leather soft chairs were arranged in front of it, and delicious food and wine were placed waiting for the guests to arrive.
The old demon of Montenegro had a withdrawn personality and was not good at interacting with people before his death, but at that time, there were still some mundane affairs that needed to be taken care of. Now after his death, he feels that he is completely free from the shackles of human affection, and he only wants to train soldiers for a hundred years and counterattack the world, and never disdain to have any contact with other demon forces.
This concubine is not that he is greedy for beauty, but that the thousand-year-old dryad claims to have found a secret method for traveling through the Yin and Yang Realm from the corpse of a passing Taoist priest, and can carry a small number of ghost pawns into the Yang World at a specific time every month.
She can also prepare underground caves in advance for the purpose of hiding soldiers.
In this way, as long as he has been carrying it year after year, he can lead the army to gallop on the battlefield again.
Concubinage is nothing more than a tie-in, a form that symbolizes a formal alliance between the two parties.
Because of this, there were no other guests at tonight's banquet except for Grandma's side.
No, there's another one.
A puppet sitting at a table drinking slowly.
The old demon of Montenegro squinted at this mysterious puppet for a long time, and couldn't figure out where the mellow wine brewed by Yin Spring was drunk by him.
There was a column of people from afar, and the red sedan chair was especially striking in this lifeless city.
A ghost pawn stepped forward to report.
The bride arrived.
