Chapter 32: The Secret Marriage (I)
Wu Dan didn't seem to be able to hear Ma Mingxiang's voice, and her eyes were always on the lantern.
Ma Mingxiang put Wu Shiqing's body on the ground, threw five copper coins at Wu Dan, and rushed forward with a peachwood sword in his hand.
Wu Dan's chest was hot, she stroked her chest, and subconsciously glanced at the road under her feet, "Where is this ......?"
There are poplar locust trees all around, and there are cliffs not far ahead, lanterns are floating in the air, and a group of white and red paper figures can be faintly seen.
Among them are four paper figures carrying a palanquin, the palanquin is very realistic, the paint is blood-red, as if dyed with the blood of a living person, floating in the air.
The lanterns suddenly floated in front of Wu Dan, she inexplicably held one of them in her hand, and looked closely, the lantern in her hand began to twist, slowly emerging blurred facial features, and a large stream of fishy blood oozed from the wick.
The more Wu Dan looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong, I don't know if it was an illusion or a psychological reaction, she felt that what she was holding in her hand was not a lantern, but a bloody head.
Wu Dan felt that the lantern in his hand was too weird, no matter the appearance or feel, it was no different from a real human head.
"Hurry up and throw that lantern away! Fast! ”
She also wanted to throw the lantern at the bottom of the cliff, but she couldn't shake it off now, and the lantern seemed to grow in her hand.
Ma Mingxiang ran forward and slashed at the lantern in Wu Dan's hand.
The lantern suddenly became in half, and a stream of blood gushed out from the middle and spurted into Ma Mingxiang's face, and Wu Dan threw it down the cliff, finally getting rid of it.
The two halves of the lantern rolled down the hillside, and Wu Thant finally saw it clearly at this moment, this lantern was exactly the same as the head, and the blood-red facial features became extremely clear at that moment......
Ma Mingxiang took out the yellow paper from his pocket and wiped the blood on his face.
Wu Dan saw Ma Mingxiang's embarrassed appearance, and there was a burst of joy in her heart, and the fear of the previous scene was completely forgotten, and she pretended to be innocent: "How can the lantern spurt blood?" ”
"Grandma! That's a headlamp! Didn't Wu Shiqing tell you about it? ”
Wu Dan's eyes rolled around: "Human head lamp? Oh, I've heard my dad mention this, legend has it that in ancient times, people who were wronged would carry a lantern everywhere to revoke their grievances, and some people didn't wash away their grievances until they died, so they poured their grievances into the lantern and kept looking for a substitute for the dead ghost......"
A terrifying horror legend is told from the mouth of U Thant, but it is so relished.
"Nima! You don't want to live, I still want to live! Have you ever considered Lao Tzu's feelings......"
Ma Mingxiang felt this grievance in his heart......
Wu Dan glanced at Ma Mingxiang's empty back and asked, "Ma Mingxiang!" Where's Daddy's corpse?! ”
Ma Mingxiang looked helpless: "Grandma! You just ran so fast, I can't catch up with a corpse on my back, I'm not afraid that you will have an accident, so I put the corpse on the side of the road......"
"You don't have a brain! What if the beasts on the mountain take Daddy away?! ”
“……”
Ma Mingxiang was speechless.
"Get out!"
Wu Dan pushed Ma Mingxiang away and hurriedly went back to find Wu Shiqing's body.
"Little monster, if you hadn't been covered by a Yin Master, Lao Tzu would have lit you a sky lantern a long time ago!" Ma Mingxiang let out a long sigh and followed closely behind Wu Dan.
Wu Shiqing's body was not found on the side of the road, Wu Dan was so anxious that she almost cried, she walked to the hillside and shouted: "Ma Mingxiang!" If you don't get Daddy's body back, I'll jump from here!" ”
Ma Mingxiang hurriedly grabbed Wu Dan from behind, his expression was very bitter: "Auntie, don't worry about it first, I'll think about it again, think about it again......"
Ma Mingxiang hugged Wu Dan tightly and glanced around:
"Strange...... I put the body here......"
"Could it be that he was taken by a wild beast?"
Wu Dan struggled in Ma Mingxiang's arms and bit him.
"it!"
Wu Dan was a little excited, and stared at Ma Mingxiang viciously: "Where's Daddy's corpse!" Where's Daddy's corpse! I ask you what about Daddy's corpse! ”
"I'm not ......"
Ma Mingxiang saw the locust tree behind Wu Dan and was stunned and speechless.
"You speak! Where did you hide Daddy's body?! ”
Ma Mingxiang pointed to the poplar locust tree behind her.
Wu Dan slowly turned around.
I saw a corpse hanging from the towering poplar tree, the corpse was dressed in a black Western-style dress, and the pale face was so familiar.
"Old ...... Daddy......"
Wu Dan was puzzled at first, and then angry, she looked at Ma Mingxiang with a cold gaze: "You are so vicious! Hang your father on the poplar locust tree, do you want his old man to be unable to rest in peace after he dies?! You despicable brute! You will have retribution......"
Ma Mingxiang was scolded by Wu Dan and looked confused.
"Grandma! That's not what I did! I can't climb up that high......"
Wu Dan was carried away by anger and couldn't listen to Ma Mingxiang's words at all: "It's not who you are!" Could it be that the ghost can't do it! ”
Ma Mingxiang couldn't wash it when he jumped into the Yellow River, he smiled bitterly: "You see that the clothes on his body are completely different from the previous ones...... It seems to be wearing a ...... now Best man's ...... Dress ......"
Wu Thant couldn't help but turn around and take a closer look, and gave a cold shudder.
"How can this be ......"
"Tick~"
"Knock...... Knock Knock...... Knock~"
"Ping Pong~"
The sound of suona and gongs and drums sounded again, and four paper figures carrying a sedan chair passed by the front and floated to the tree, and in the blink of an eye, Wu Shiqing's body also disappeared with the sedan chair......
"There was a wedding on the mountain...... Beware of getting into trouble......"
The old woman's voice rang in their ears, and they looked around, but there was no one except the dark locust tree.
Ma Mingxiang held the compass in his hand, and the pointer on it turned rapidly.
"Up the hill!"
U Thant didn't have time to hesitate, and with each hesitation, her fear deepened.
Ma Mingxiang held a peachwood sword in his right hand and a compass in his left hand, and followed closely behind Wu Dan.
They ran all the way to the top of the mountain, sweating profusely, their clothes already wet with sweat, and gasping for breath.
The scene at the top of the hill was even more eerie, surrounded by graves, and pink moonlight sprinkled on the ground like a blood-red natural carpet.
Wu Dan took a deep breath and strode forward, Ma Mingxiang following closely behind.
She stopped abruptly as she walked, "This person is so familiar...... I think I've seen her somewhere......"
Wu Thant was stunned by the black-and-white photo on the tombstone, always feeling familiar, but unable to remember.
Ma Mingxiang walked to the tombstone and glanced at the black-and-white photo, he was stunned and took a few steps back:
"The old woman we just met halfway up the mountain...... It seems to be wearing this gray padded jacket as well......"
Although they didn't see the old woman's appearance clearly, the old woman's dress made Ma Mingxiang remember it deeply.
"Tick~"
The sound of suona sounded again, and the paper man carrying the sedan chair in the distance appeared again.
