Chapter 19 Invitations
The days in July were like a furnace, and it was only slightly better near evening.
As a result, early morning and late afternoon became a good time to hurry.
As the sun set on this day, a complaint came from the forest path.
"Boss, why are we rushing so desperately, can we really catch that Ding He?"
Turning the corner of the forest, I saw an emaciated figure carrying a big gun, this person stopped in place and gasped, he really couldn't walk.
"Moreover, just a few of us, I estimate that even if we run into it, it will not be enough for others to fight with one hand."
"I've heard that the twenty-four heroes of Baitou Mountain were all killed by Ding He alone."
"Hey, what are you afraid of!"
Guo Shuang stopped in annoyance and looked back.
Could he not know this? And even if he hadn't heard of Ding He's name, he had always heard of the name of the captain of the Demon Suppression Division.
Killing demons is like killing people, and there is no grass in the place you pass.
But wasn't the man badly wounded?
Maybe before they could do it, they would have died, and the corpse happened to be encountered by them, which was also a monstrous fortune.
And now the water temple bounty has been raised to a higher level, a full 10,000 taels of silver, and there are two places given by the gods.
Even if they don't use it, they can trade it to those big families, and they can be replaced by local officials.
Be an official, that's it.
Thinking of this, Guo Shuang couldn't wait to grow two wings and fly to the annex of the inn where Ding He was found.
"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid."
Shen Huan'er refused to walk with a spear, and looked around with a somewhat cringed expression, even if she was in a hurry, she had to pick this kind of path, and she was not afraid of encountering monsters.
"And yesterday's Wangyuan gathering, you forgot it, boss."
Guo Shuang was stunned, of course he couldn't forget.
Under the heavy reward of the Water Temple, there were many applicants, and there were three big gangs that he knew, not to mention the manpower organized by various big families themselves.
As a result, some of them, under the organization of Yang Wenlong, the young leader of the Giant Whale Gang, held a meeting in Wangyuanji to discuss the alliance.
And just as the discussion was about to end, two rakshasa ghosts suddenly appeared, clamped Yang Wenlong left and right, and took him away in an instant.
Suddenly, the scene was in an uproar.
Just when everyone was at a loss, countless invitations fell from the sky and landed in the arms of everyone present, and at the same time, a dull voice came into everyone's ears.
The jade-faced princess of the dark cloud cave will be married in three days, and you will be waiting for you to go at that time, please be prepared.
The news spread quickly, and almost all the people around here knew about it.
"That's not just God helping me to wait, there are a lot of competitors in vain."
Guo Shuang stepped forward and gave Shen Huan'er a brain collapse, some hated iron and steel, let you exercise more on weekdays, and you will know how to find a woman.
"Hurry up and rest, and leave as soon as you have rested."
Shen Huan'er was about to agree, but as soon as she looked up, she found a team of sedan chairs coming out of the corner of the path.
Guo Shuang saw that Shen Huan'er raised his head and didn't speak, staring behind him in a daze, his lips moved slightly but he couldn't speak, so his heart sank, and he had a bad premonition.
He turned his head slowly, and saw a group of people dressed in festive clothes appear in front of him, the first few people were blowing trumpets, and the gongs and drums were beating in the back.
This is a long procession to welcome relatives, and in the middle is a certain big red sedan chair.
But where are you going to welcome your relatives in this barren mountain range?
As the team walked in, Guo Shuang's face suddenly changed, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back, because he found that the feet of this group of people did not touch the ground at all, which of these people were people, they were clearly a group of ghosts!
Oops.
Guo Shuang wanted to run, but there was an invisible pressure on him, making him unable to move his footsteps.
Finally, the line was getting closer.
The sound of gongs and drums, trumpets, and commotion also reached his ears.
Finally, the big red sedan chair stopped next to them.
A blushing steward swung over lightly, came to Shen Huan'er's side, and didn't touch him, just a finger, Shen Huan'er walked towards the sedan chair in a daze.
Then he put on a big red hijab, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and sat in.
The welcoming team received the person and completed the task, so it didn't stop much and set off again.
It wasn't until they were far away that the team gradually disappeared.
Guo Shuang also regained his body's mobility.
He wiped his sweat and calmed down a little, and he felt like something had hit him on the head.
Stretch out your hand, it's a blood-red invitation!
......
Guo Shuang and the rest of the man looked at each other.
The two of them each had an invitation in their hands, and they didn't know what to do.
Looking at the content of the invitation again, I will come to pick it up when the time comes, so don't you want to go?
Guo Shuang's heart was ruthless, he crumpled the invitation into a ball, threw it into the forest, and then ran forward.
But he didn't take two steps before he felt something strange in his chest.
Stopped, reached into his arms and didn't touch it, didn't you?
Guo Shuang took off all his shirts, only to see that the invitation card was stuck to the skin on his chest, and he couldn't take it off.
Suddenly in despair, he sat on the ground.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi no longer resisted, and after stuffing the invitation into his arms, he walked to Guo Shuang's side and sat down as well.
The two were silent until a hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded.
Looking up, I saw two Taoist priests riding horses from the direction where the greeting team had just come.
"Sigh Rule~"
The younger Taoist priest stopped first, came to the two of them, turned over and dismounted.
"Excuse me, have you ever seen a young man, probably a little shorter than the poor road, wearing a linen robe."
The Taoist priest stretched out his hand and gestured, but Guo Shuang and the two of them didn't have the heart to look carefully, so they returned angrily.
"I haven't seen anyone, but there are ghosts, do you want to know?"
Ghost?
The Taoist priest was overjoyed, and Zhao Changsheng was most likely captured by a ghost.
Just a few hours ago, the three of them were on their way.
Don't ask why they have been gone for so many days, they haven't arrived at Qiantang Pass yet.
Because the self-proclaimed Qingxu Dao Chief, who is familiar with the way, led them to the wrong path.
It was hard to ask the way, but it was a small road, and there were no people in front of it.
Zhao Changsheng suddenly had abdominal pain, so he went into the forest to relieve himself.
The two people outside waited left and right and didn't see him come out before they realized that something was wrong.
When they looked for it, they couldn't find it anywhere.
And Li Jiu'an ignited the Chonglong Jade Talisman, and followed the residual breath all the way until it was about to break.
"Please also let the two laymen know."
Guo Shuang cheered up when he heard this, yes, isn't this Taoist priest just concerned about catching ghosts, maybe these two Taoist priests have a way.
Shen Huan'er, it's not that the eldest brother doesn't want to see you get married, it's really that the eldest brother is afraid that the younger brother and sister will be too fierce, and if you don't go back, don't worry, your eldest brother will take care of it.
Thinking in his heart, Guo Shuang's mouth didn't stop, and he told Fang Cai's affairs one by one, and then looked at Li Jiuan with hope.
Li Jiuan thought for a while, stretched out his hand to Guo Shuang's chest, and then gently pulled it, and ripped off the invitation, then took it in his hand, looked at Qingxu Daochang, and said indifferently.
"This Zhao Changsheng is married, Princess Jade is invited, is the head of Qingxu Dao willing to go to the meeting?"
Qingxu Dao blew his beard and glared, and stretched his hand towards Zhou Yi.
"When the apprentice gets married, how can I, as a master, not go!"
