Chapter 119: Scarlet Wedding
After thanking Qi Mingyu for his hospitality and agreeing to us coming, I asked, "Did you find any clues about the ghost soldiers here?" β
Qi Mingyu shook his head in disappointment: "No, speaking of which, Old Lady Shi and Fifth Master Tu also came here for this matter." β
I looked at the other two people again, and Mrs. Shi said, "Not only the Qi family has ghost soldiers here, but our Shi family and Tu family were also attacked by the ghost soldiers of the Tong family, and they lost a lot of manpower to disperse that thing." β
Tu Wuye said unhappily: "It's really fucking strange, these ghost soldiers are like puppets, they say they are ghosts, but they don't have any consciousness at all!" There is a descendant in our family who wants to subdue the ghost soldiers, and he is stunned by the backlash! β
"However, we are fortunate that we haven't met the one who will be resurrected that night that Qi family. Otherwise, we are so far away from Greentown, and we don't know what to do without the help of adults! Mrs. Shi's tone was full of three points of happiness.
The faces of the two were not all the joy of dividing up the Tong family, but also with a lot of sorrow, thinking that they had really lost a lot of manpower.
Yun Zhi unceremoniously bit a chicken leg and said, "Those ghost soldiers were summoned directly from the underworld dead place, and it is normal that they can't deal with it." My sister and I came here just to find out why the Tong family had a summoning formation. β
Hearing this, the three ghost cultivators were all stunned.
"Don't you care?" Qi Mingyu hesitated for a long time, but still asked cautiously.
Yunzhi glanced at me, and saw that I didn't know how to answer, so he answered for me: "The affairs of the yang world are naturally handled by the people of the yang world, just like we don't care about the affairs of the underworld, right?" β
"I see!" Qi Mingyu suddenly realized.
What did Mo Han say, he still cared a little about this matter, but he didn't particularly care about it. Clean it up when you see it, and if you don't see it, you won't keep tracking it down.
I came to Tong's house this time because Yunzhi felt that this matter was strange and had to be investigated.
After dinner, Qi Mingyu led us to the room arranged for us. It is estimated that he respects Mo Han's identity, and he arranged a small courtyard for us separately.
Yunzhi lives in the room next door to me and Mo Han, which makes me feel at ease.
It was still early, and Yun Zhi suggested that Qi Mingyu take us to visit the Tong family's old house to see if there were any remaining clues.
Qi Mingyu naturally didn't have anything to say, and took us around for a long time, but didn't find any clues.
Just as I was about to go back, I passed by a bronze mirror when I saw a figure that did not belong to a few of us flashing by.
I immediately stopped, and when I looked at the bronze mirror again, there was nothing.
Qi Mingyu saw me looking at the mirror and explained: "The dresser was left by the original Tong family, and it is an old thing. I saw that it was a few years and things were pretty good, so I kept it. Does Miss Mu like it? β
Bet on five cents, if I say I like it, he will definitely give me this thing for the sake of Mo Han's face.
However, I don't like this kind of thing that allows me to see another figure in it.
I shook my head: "It's not that I like it, it's just that I just saw a woman's figure flash here." β
Yun Zhi's face immediately became serious: "That woman? β
I hesitated and shook my head again, "Probably not." "The woman's appearance should be behind me, or somewhere near me.
And the figure I just saw flashed in the mirror, as if it were passing by.
I explained, Yunzhi asked me to stand in front of the mirror, and cautiously looked at the mirror from several angles, but I didn't see anything again.
"Don't worry, it shouldn't be her." I said what I thought, but Yunzhi was still a little skeptical.
The whole house of the Tong family is immersed in a thick yin atmosphere, and this dresser has been placed for a long time, so it is naturally stained with yin qi, and I don't care.
Yun Zhi thought about it, made a double insurance, and pasted a sealing yellow talisman on the bronze mirror. If there is a problem with this mirror, the little ghost will not be able to break through this yellow rune, and if it is a ghost, this yellow rune can also cope with it for a while and a half.
"Can you open it and take a look?" I pointed to the dresser and asked Qi Mingyu.
Qi Mingyu nodded: "Miss Mu, please." In this house, except for the things in our bedroom, most of the other objects are left by the Tong family. Our people have probed and there are no problems. However, their mana is shallow, and it is possible that they can't see it. β
This Qi Sixth Master is very good at talking, no wonder he can be in charge of the affairs of the Qi family as a member of the family.
I opened the top drawer of the dresser, and there was a set of makeup in it. The dowry is inlaid with gold wire, and the body of the box is inlaid with agate and gemstones the size of a fingernail, and the workmanship is so beautiful that it is worth a lot of money at first glance.
I remember wandering around the Tong family's old house for a long time, but I didn't see anything valuable, and those should have been moved away by the Qi family.
Such a precious makeup, it stands to reason that the Qi family will not let it go.
I looked back at Qi Mingyu, and saw a flash of surprise in his eyes, and his eyes quickly moved from the makeup to me.
"Does Miss Mu like it?" He asked with a smile.
How can I have the illusion that he wants me to say he likes it, and then give it to me?
"I don't like it." I said, seeing that there was indeed disappointment in his eyes.
It seems that he should be trying to win over Mo Han by building a relationship with me.
The identity of the Hades King is truly extraordinary.
I stretched out my hand to open the makeup, but Yun Yi stopped me: "Sister, wait! β
He took out an exorcism charm from his pocket and pasted it on the crack where the makeup was opened, and the sound of a woman crying in a low voice rang out in the room.
I looked at Yun Zhi with a creep, and I sensed it carefully, but I couldn't sense the yin qi of other yin spirits.
"What's going on?" I asked Yunzhi.
Yun Zhi stared at the makeup, the yellow charm on it had begun to turn black, and the woman's crying voice slowly lowered.
"There's a yin spirit attached to this box." Yun Zhi said and pasted another yellow talisman.
The yellow talisman in front had all turned black, and Yun Zhi lifted it after injecting the newly pasted yellow talisman with spiritual power, and with the spell whispered in his mouth, a slender figure was pulled out of his makeup by him, and finally submerged into the yellow talisman.
Qi Mingyu was stunned: "Why didn't anyone find out that there was a ghost here before......"
I ignored him, the yin spirit didn't seem to have much offensive power, and I motioned for Yunzhi to release her.
It was a pale cyan figure, wearing the decoration of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, looking at the headdress, it should be a little maid.
"Who are you?" I asked the maid.
The maid ghost covered her face with her sleeves and sobbed lowly, and the cry just now was made by her.
I asked a few more questions, and the maid kept crying like this.
Yun Zhi sighed: "It seems that this ghost's wisdom is not enough, and he can't ask anything." β
He pressed the maid ghost into a yellow talisman again, and after leaving here, he found a Taoist temple to send this yin spirit to transcend.
I turned on the makeup.
Inside, there is a set of ruby heads, and a crested hairpin. The golden phoenix is so lifelike that I subconsciously want to reach out and pick up the golden hairpin.
It was a strange feeling, and I didn't reach out, but I thought about it.
I can even imagine sitting in front of this dresser, taking this crested hairpin out of the dressing and putting it on my head, and wearing the ruby head.
My face was reflected in the bronze mirror, and I looked down to pick up the lip grease under the makeup, dipped my fingertips in a little crimson rouge, and applied it to my lips.
Wrong!
A sudden alarm bell sounded in my mind, interrupting this strange imagination!
In my imagination, I saw the face reflected in the bronze mirror, although it was very similar, but it was not my face!
Turning his head to look at Yun Zhi and Qi Mingyu beside him, they were all unusual.
"Yunzhi, did you just see or think of anything?" I asked Yunzhi.
Yun Zhi shook his head, and I asked Qi Mingyu again, and he was also at a loss.
Could it be that this only works for me?
Taking a deep breath, I opened the next layer of the dress, and sure enough, there was a small round box of rouge inside, exactly like the one I had just imagined.
I opened the rouge box, and the rouge inside had dried up, but I could still tell it was red.
There's a ghost in this!
Putting the rouge box back in its place, I said to Yunzhi: "Give this place a full set of exorcisms." β
Yun Zhi took out a few yellow talismans and pasted the jewelry and rouge boxes inside one by one, but nothing happened.
I couldn't help but doubt my intuition.
"Sister, did you find anything?" Yun Zhi asked.
I nodded, and looked at the bronze mirror again, I don't know if it was an illusion, I always felt that the face reflected on the bronze mirror was not mine, but the woman I had seen in my imagination before.
Wait a minute!
Why is there only my face in the bronze mirror?!
Yun Zhi and Qi Mingyu are standing next to me, why can't they be shown!
I steadied myself and looked at the bronze mirror again, and sure enough, I was the only one in it, and my face was still blurry.
I couldn't help but look sideways at Yun Zhi and Qi Mingyu beside me, could it be that along the way, they have been dropped, or what?
While they were both studying the contents of the makeup, they seemed to be exchanging some kind of glances behind my back.
I took out two yellow talismans from my pocket and quickly pasted them behind their backs.
If two of them are bent over by the ghost or the ghost changes, the yellow charm will immediately burn.
However, before I could see the change in the yellow talisman, the yellow talisman was pasted, and Yun Zhi had already stabbed me with a sword.
I dodged and dodged, but I was controlled by Qi Mingyu behind me. Yunzhi's sword deflected and stabbed me in the heart.
There is something wrong with these two!
I was about to conjure up the long sword, when I suddenly felt a lightness in my body, and the peachwood sword that hit my heart flashed and pierced into a figure beside me.
With a wail, Qi Mingyu said "offended" and let me go.
I gradually realized that something was wrong, and turned my head to look at Yunzhi's sword, and saw an unkempt female ghost being pierced through the heart by Yunzhi's sword.
The ghost quickly dissipated, Yun Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and took off the unchanged yellow talisman on his body: "Sister, brother-in-law is not here, your physique is really possessed without warning, fortunately, I found it early." β
He shook the yellow talisman on his hand as he spoke, "However, next time you stick it to us, remember to stick one on you too!" It's much easier for a ghost to get on you than it is to get on us! β
Pure Yin Spirit, the upper body of the ghost is as simple as a thief entering an empty room with no door closed, I haven't remembered this broken physique for a long time!
I looked at the bronze mirror again, and there were three of us on it. Although the face is still blurred, the reflection is real.
"I just didn't see you in the mirror and thought you were possessed." I was embarrassed to explain.
"When you are possessed by a ghost, you can only see what the ghost sees. A living person can't see a yin spirit with low mana in the mirror, and a yin spirit with low mana can't see a living person in the mirror. "Yun Zhi'er is educating me.
You can't blame me for that......
After all, most of the ghosts I know are powerful. For example, Mo Han, Mo Yuan, and black and white impermanence, red ghosts and Xing Boxiao, they can all bask in the sun like living people......
"By the way, Mr. Qi, why haven't the things here been moved?" I asked Qi Mingyu.
Qi Mingyu was a little embarrassed: "I'm ashamed, we haven't found out that there is a set of makeup here." β
"None of you have opened this dresser?" You know, a woman's dresser may be worth more than her safe.
Speaking of this, Qi Mingyu's face also had three points of doubt: "I opened it, but no one has reported anything here, only a dresser with a vintage on the table." β
If the people below don't report it, there are only two possibilities. First, he found that the man saw that it was valuable and wanted to take it privately. However, it was impossible for him to quietly take away such a big makeup, so he wanted to put it on until later.
But if that's the case, he can take the ruby head and crested hairpin, especially the crested hairpin, as long as he stuffs it in his pocket!
For a selfish person, it must be the same beforehand, and he will not wait for the time to take it again.
Unless, it's the second possibility, when he came here to count things, he didn't see this set of makeup at all!
So why are we seeing it now?
I looked at the makeup again and shot a spiritual power at it, and the makeup was damaged, and a horn was cut off, which didn't seem to be a hallucination.
I wondered how the inner color of the horn where the wooden makeup had been cut off was blood-red.
"Bloody wedding ......" Yun Zhi spit out a word in amazement.
Seeing that he was still looking at the dowry and didn't say any more, I asked, "What is that?" "It sounds unlucky.
Yun Yi looked at me with a sad face: "Sister...... I think we're in big trouble......"
He has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, and it is the first time that he has shown such an expression of wanting to cry without tears.
It was quiet, quiet and eerie, and I asked, "What's the trouble?" β
"Didn't bring a little trouble......"
I didn't feel very good at all, and when I looked down, I glanced at the box in the drawer where I had cut off one of the corners, and there was blood flowing from the blood-red wooden material.
Almost at the same time, a chilling yin qi burst out of the room out of thin air, a familiar chill.
"Yun Zhi ......," I said worriedly, "what kind of ghost wedding is it, is it related to nine women?" β
"Hmm...... The bloody wedding, all things, was refined from the souls of nine women. Everything carries the resentment of nine female ghosts. Sister, nine is the extreme number, have you heard of it......"
Hehe, I haven't heard of the specifics, but ...... If I'm not mistaken, I should have worn a blood-colored wedding dress in Zeyun City before!
It's the wedding dress that almost made me die in the Blue Hotel!
A miserable green light flashed in the room, and a female ghost wearing a bright red wedding dress suddenly appeared in the room, exactly nine.
Yun Zhi and Qi Mingyu and I were back to back, and we all looked at the female ghosts surrounding the three of us vigilantly.
The nine female ghosts are all bleeding, their eyes are full of resentment, and they look at us as if they are looking at a meal that they have never enjoyed.
The scene in the house gradually changed, and the fluorescent lamps overhead disappeared and were replaced by the beams of the old house. The four corners of the room lit up with green fires, faintly illuminating a little.
Not far away, there was a rosewood bed, and beside the bed sat a bride wearing a hijab, and on the bride's lap was a black cat that looked exactly like the one that touched porcelain when we came into town today.
"Mr. Qi, ask something, do you know what the Black Spirit God is?" I couldn't help but remember what the old woman said.
"This is a local saying, that is, the black cat, because the black cat has spirituality, so it is also called the black spirit god. I also came here to know that if I accidentally killed the black cat, everyone here believed that there would be retribution. Qi Mingyu said.
That cat died because it was possessed by a resentful leader, so it can't be counted on my head......
I was comforting myself like this, when I suddenly heard a sharp "meow" from the black cat on the bride's lap, and all of a sudden, nine female ghosts floating on the side stretched out their claws and rushed towards us.
The yin qi on their bodies has been elevated to ghost qi, and the nine of them come together, we are by no means opponents, and I took out the hairpin and drew an enchantment as soon as possible.
Seeing that the female ghost was blocked by the enchantment, Yun Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
I hurriedly asked him, "What's going on?" β
He shook his head: "I don't know. However, sister, don't worry too early, the makeup is dyed red by the blood of the hearts of the nine female ghosts. It stands to reason that if you have these hairpins or something, there should be a set of wedding clothes made of nine female ghost skins, just burn them together! β
Of course, the premise is that you have to break through the nine female ghosts and then burn things clean.
Yunzhi's eyes glanced at the bride on the bed, where I could sense a ghost, but it seemed to be the cat's.
And the bride's body only sensed a rotten breath.
And on her wedding dress, there was no resentment, as if it was an ordinary dress.
Wait a minute, why does that wedding dress look familiar? Seems a bit like what I was forced to wear that day at the hotel?
A buzz in my head asked Yunzhi: "Are the dresses and jewelry of the blood-colored wedding the same batch of nine female ghosts, or are they nine female ghosts in batches?" β
"In batches, that's why it's troublesome! The jewelry box is nine female ghosts, and the wedding dress is another nine female ghosts! And those red candles, all of them are different nine female ghosts! Yun Zhi said with disgust.
So, could it be that the wedding dress here is the one that Ding Ling dropped when she hurt me before?
With Yun Zhi's words, there were gradually a lot of ghosts in the room, all of which were the appearance of nine female ghosts that appeared in batches. After a while, the room, which was not very spacious, was full of female ghosts staring at us.
I was furious by them, and I sacrificed a big killing weapon.
"Mo Hanβ"
After shouting, Mo Han came out of the ink jade.
I alertly ducked behind him, and Mo Han patted me on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid. β
I nodded, and Yun Zhi also hid behind me: "Brother-in-law relies on you!" β
Qi Mingyu didn't dare to hide directly, and looked at Mo Han with a plea for help: "My lord, please!" β
Mo Han glanced at the female ghosts in the room, and the female ghosts were unconscious and did not know how to be afraid, and they came out of us one after another.
An extremely strong coercion burst out from Mo Han's body, and the female ghost who had just approached was overturned again. Mo Han raised his hand and summoned a ball of blue flame to throw it downward, and suddenly, the entire room was lit with a raging blue fire.
The female ghosts were cleaned up in minutes, and the black cat jumped off the bride's lap and tried to escape, but Mo Han flicked away with a ghostly aura, turning the black cat into a cloud of black smoke and dissipating in place.
The female ghost disappeared, and the blue flame gradually receded.
The bride, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed, suddenly stood up.
Yunzhi wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Mo Han.
I was puzzled, and the bride's body walked forward, but the hijab fell to the ground.
When I saw that face, I was stunned. That face, I just saw in the mirror.
The bride floated out of the room on tiptoe in a very strange way.
Mo Han led me forward, and Yun Zhi and Qi Mingyu didn't know why, so they also went with them.
The bride walked around the courtyard courtyard, bypassed the garden in the house, walked to a well in the backyard, and jumped directly.
Mo Han took me to the mouth of the well, and I unconsciously remembered the last time Mo Yuan jumped into the well with me, and asked softly, "You don't want to jump, do you?" β
Mo Han bowed his head and picked me up: "Don't be afraid. Then he jumped.
It was a dry well, and it took a while for us to land.
There is a lot of space under the well, and there is a large pool of mud in front of the well, and while walking, it is a bluestone slab. Someone should have deliberately decorated this place, it is much taller than the cave below the Clear Void Temple.
Mo Han put me down on the clean bluestone slab over there, and after a while, Yun Zhi and Qi Mingyu also flew down on a paper crane that had become larger.
I surrounded me with a few lit blue flames, and Yun Zhi came over and asked me, "Sister, does the cave below where you jumped into the well last time look like this?" β
I shook my head: "I feel that the decoration here is better." The cave over there is more like a natural formation that was directly used by people. Here, it looks like it was excavated by hand. β
"What did that female ghost bring us here for?" Qi Mingyu asked, looking here. Obviously, he didn't discover this underground world either.
"I don't know." As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly heard the sound of chains shaking.
I was stunned for a moment, looked at Mo Han, and found that Mo Han's eyes had been falling in a place in the dark.
He's a ghost, and he doesn't need light to see what's going on there. There was beyond the light of the blue flame, I couldn't see it, so I could only ask him, "Mo Han, is there anything there?" β
"Hmm." Mo Han answered, looked at me, and summoned a few blue flames to fly over.
When I saw the picture there, I was stunned.
