Chapter 35: The Ghost Gate Banquet (Part II)
When I opened the door, it was Cao Lei who I saw, which made me really a little unexpected, could it be that my previous inferences were wrong, all of this was really just a ghost made by him?
However, how could he, a small junior spirit ghost, have such amazing means? Besides, if it's really him, the purpose of trapping me and Zhao Xiaoyi is nothing more than to prevent us from rescuing Sister Zhang, so it is said that there is no need for him to show up at all, right?
Of course, he may also be afraid that if I am angry, he will really blow up this alley, after all, his home is nearby, but I gave two ways at the beginning, he can choose to disarm the spell and leave silently, there is no need to appear in front of me at all.
Having said that, since it has appeared, it is still hanging like this, looking for death?
To be honest, Zhao Xiaoyi and I were really annoyed when we saw Cao Lei, and without saying a word, we invariably raised our left hand, aimed it at his face, and opened our palms.
Suddenly, the thunder talismans in our palms emitted dazzling golden light, especially Zhao Xiaoyi's, which was as bright as a small sun, and had the posture of attacking at any time.
Cao Lei immediately covered his face with his hands, and retreated again and again, and soon leaned against the shadow wall behind him, and his body under the black raincoat began to tremble violently, as if he was in danger of collapsing at any time.
This fully shows that Cao Lei is absolutely incapable of using that clever ghost wall-hitting spell, otherwise, he would not be so embarrassed just by the light of the thunder rune.
Then, behind him, there must be another master, I was about to ask to understand, but I found that the yang thunder talisman in Zhao Xiaoyi's palm was getting brighter and brighter, and it had reached the edge of being stimulated, I knew that this was because she was not in control enough, if she missed and flew out, it was estimated that Cao Lei would immediately become scum, so he hurriedly said: "Xiaoyi, hold the thunder talisman first, and wait for me to ask about the situation." ”
When Zhao Xiaoyi heard this, she immediately held the thunder talisman, maybe it was too fierce, and her little face suddenly turned red, but I knew that she could make the yang thunder talisman in a semi-excited state for lighting, and she had made great progress in her ability to control the talisman, and she still cared for it herself, which shows that her talent in cultivation is still very high.
At this moment, saving people is the best, in order to make Cao Lei answer normally, I also dimmed the Heavenly Thunder Fu, and then stepped forward and shouted: "Cao Lei, quickly hand over Sister Zhang, she is your sister-in-law after all, how can you harm her like that?" ”
Without the strong irradiation of the thunder fu, Cao Lei quickly eased up, but his tone was still very tough: "Who wants to harm my sister-in-law?" You're meddling!"
I immediately became angry: "You forcibly forced her Yang God out and took her away, isn't this harming her?" As a leader, I'm here to rescue the employees you took away from the company dormitory, is this nosy? ”
Cao Lei was speechless when he was asked, and after a few seconds, he rubbed his neck and defended: "How can it be as serious as you said, I just asked her to help save my daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law is fine, and she will naturally let her go back." ”
Cao Lei's words are a bit quibble, but they contain a lot of information, the most important of which are two, one is that Sister Zhang is indeed still in his hands, and the other is that Sister Zhang came this time, it is really not completely voluntary, and there is also the possibility that she has been imprisoned by Cao Lei.
In short, all kinds of signs show that there must be some grudges between Sister Zhang and Cao Lei, the dead brother, that are difficult to unsolving, so they are so entangled, otherwise, which dead person will always be entangled with their living relatives, and in the middle of the night, they will toss to death like this?
However, I didn't have time to delve into the reasons for this, so I softened my tone and said: "Cao Lei, no matter what, I hope you can let Sister Zhang out as soon as possible, and it will be dawn in three or four hours, if her Yang God can't return to the body in time, she will be very dangerous, and we can discuss other things, maybe, I will have a way to save your daughter-in-law." ”
Actually, I didn't have much hope that Cao Lei would release Sister Zhang immediately, because a ghost like Cao Lei is only a resentful spirit, and most of the resentful spirits are very stubborn, unless the resentment he generated before his death is resolved, it will be difficult to change his mind.
Therefore, I said this as an expedient measure, the purpose of which was to make Cao Lei relax his vigilance, so that he could listen to more information and respond in advance.
Unexpectedly, hearing me say this, Cao Lei actually showed hesitation, and seemed to be a little moved, but at this time, I heard someone shouting in the courtyard: "Brother Cao, I asked you to invite a guest, why is it so long?" ”
It was a young man's voice, which sounded gentle, but with a sense of superiority to subordinate, even master to slave.
Sure enough, there is another master behind this Cao Lei, and he should be the one who used the ghost wall spell to trap me and Zhao Xiaoyi.
But could he really be the ghost bridegroom? If so, then his goal of action is probably not just because of Sister Zhang.
I suddenly turned my head and found that Zhao Xiaoyi's face was pale, and she was as nervous as just now, perhaps, she had a premonition, or after hearing the young man's voice, she had already guessed who he was.
In order to appease the little girl, I took her hand, and she immediately held my hand like a life-saving straw, and I felt that her palms were full of sweat, indicating that she was extremely nervous.
At this time, I suddenly noticed a detail, on the shadow wall behind Cao Lei, there was a mural painted exactly the same as the courtyard we entered before, and it was also a hideous man, who was fighting with a huge black snake, and then looked back at the two wooden doors, which were almost identical, the only difference was that the traces of the original New Year's painting in the middle of the door leaf had been pasted with two big happy words.
I was shocked, could it be this courtyard, or the one we had entered earlier? If so, this ghost's methods are too advanced, right?
However, seeing the two happy words on the door also made my heart suddenly brighten, which has fully explained that the person who spoke just now is the ghost groom, and it seems that it is time for me to confront him head-on.
In order to comfort Zhao Xiaoyi, I pointed to the happy word on the door, and said with a smile: "Girl, maybe we think too much, maybe this ghost brother doesn't mean anything else, but on his wedding night, he just wants to leave us for a glass of wedding wine?" Let's go, go inside! ”
My meaning is obvious, since people have already used a sedan chair to carry a daughter-in-law back, how can they have any more thoughts about you, you can rest assured that you can follow me in.
Of course, in fact, even I don't fully believe in this reason, and I just want to comfort the little girl, so that she won't be too nervous, and the following scenes will not be easy to act.
Zhao Xiaoyi squeezed out a smile on his face, it seemed that he had gotten a lot better, and then he took my arm around the shadow wall and walked inside.
Turning around the shadow wall, I saw a dense group of people, or a group of ghosts, old and young, men and women, sitting around a few tables full of eight immortals, as if waiting for the opening of the table.
Seeing me and Zhao Xiaoyi enter, people turned their heads one after another, with novelty, enthusiasm and mockery in their eyes, and even a trace of pity, coupled with their illusory faces, it makes people feel as strange as they are, if it were ordinary people, it is estimated that they would have been frightened and fled.
But it just so happened that I was not an ordinary person, so I didn't pay attention to the ghosts of these people, and instead swept my eyes across the audience to find the ghost groom.
However, after looking at it all over, he found no trace of him at all, so he had to shout loudly: "The brother who spoke just now, since he has invited us in, why hasn't he shown up?" ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard someone in the back room reply: "Two forgiveness, your guests are coming, change into decent clothes, can you welcome you?" ”
My eyes suddenly darkened, at this moment, this guy even needs to change his clothes, don't you think you're a little weird? However, this also fully shows that among the guests he greets, there are people he cares about very much.
This person, of course it won't be me, then it can only be the big beauty Zhao Xiaoyi next to me, sure enough, this ghost thing is coming to covet my little girl.
I really want to ask, ghost brother, you were so attentive on your wedding night, you are simply the best among scumbags, I have serious doubts about the cause of your death in the first place.
Moreover, have you seriously paid attention to the fact that there is a handsome guy who is also suave and has a flat tire by the side of this big beauty you covet, aren't you afraid?
I was imagining how tragic and poignant the upcoming battle for the United States would be, but I didn't expect that at this time, Cao Lei came over, and, as if he had suddenly changed as a person, he actually bowed and said very politely: "Mr. Zhou, the banquet will be held soon, or you will sit down first and wait, my family will come out soon." ”
