Chapter 36: Ghost City! Assassinate!
As soon as Dugu Ling opened his mouth, he mentioned marriage. Xue Yang understood that she was afraid that she would regret it. Although Ji Changkong is not an ideal husband, since he made a marriage contract back then, he can't shirk it.
I could only pretend to be happy and replied with a smile: "What Sister Xian said is exactly what I want." According to the ancient rites, the woman was sixteen years old. Yuran is now twenty-three years old and can't be delayed any longer. However, Yuran was tied twice and suffered some minor injuries to her legs and feet. He was also cold due to falling into the water, and his body was weak, and it was inconvenient to get out of bed. I think I'll wait two more days until she's healed. How about we set a wedding date? ”
Seeing that Xue Yang agreed, Dugu Ling and Ji Cheng were overjoyed. Although he knows that his son is ugly, as a parent, who doesn't want his child to have a good family.
Dugu Ling smiled and said, "That's very good. We have prepared three media and six hires in advance to ensure that the wedding is lively, so that everyone in the rivers and lakes knows about this happy event. ”
Xue Yang joked: "Your family is a wealthy family in Jianguan, so it is difficult not to be lively." ”
A few people laughed.
Although Yue E laughed on the side, her face couldn't hide her embarrassment. When she saw Ji Changkong, she had plans to withdraw from the marriage. But seeing that Xue Yang agreed, it was not good to say anything more.
In the boudoir, Xue Yuran sat on the bed, still studying the information about the monk Wuyi. The monk ran away, and I don't know if it will hurt people. I can't catch it, and I'm always upset.
Dugu Ling was impatient to see his future daughter-in-law. After drinking half of the tea, she asked Yue'e to take her to see Xue Yuran.
Xue Yuran heard the footsteps of people from afar, and knew that Dugu Ling was coming. put aside the information on enlightenment and hatred, and picked up a book of poetry and prose.
Dugu Ling walked into the room, but when he saw the jade man on the bed, his eyes lit up.
Although Xue Yuran was only wearing a plain dress, there was no decoration. But it's still radiant and beautiful.
Dugu Ling's eyes lit up. The heart is the first beauty of the flag city, and it deserves its name. This is really the most suitable candidate for his daughter-in-law. At the moment, my face bloomed, and my eyebrows and eyes were smiling! It's really a new mother-in-law who sees a good daughter-in-law, and she is so happy that she can't find the north.
Yue E chuckled: "Yuran, Aunt Dugu has come to see you." ”
Xue Yuran bowed lightly and saluted slowly: "There is Aunt Lao in the way." Yuran has difficulty moving and can't get out of bed to salute, don't blame it! ”
Dugu Ling was so happy that he only looked at the appearance of his future daughter-in-law, and almost didn't hear what Xue Yuran said!
I admired again and again in my heart, she is worthy of being the daughter trained by Xue Yang, and she is a good-looking, first-class talent! Even the Jianguan wealthy family has no one who can raise such a good character. The more I looked at it, the more I liked it, and for a moment, I took off the silver steel bracelet in my hand and put it in Xue Yuran's hand.
Xue Yuran was also stunned, why did Dugu Ling directly give him a big gift? This bracelet is a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Dugu family. Looking back at the complicated expression on my mother's face, I understood. It seems that Ji Cheng's family is here. This is to think of herself as her daughter-in-law.
Dugu Lingxi said: "Yuran, seeing that you are doing well, I am also relieved." This thing is my family's heirloom silver bracelet! Wearing it can not only avoid all poisons, but also turn evil into good fortune. Now I have passed it on to you. You have to wear it, don't lose it. ”
Xue Yuran hurriedly excused himself and said: "Since it is my aunt's personal treasure, Yuran will never dare to accept it." ”
Dugu Ling couldn't shirk it, put the bracelet on Xue Yuran's hand, and said with a smile: "It's going to be a family soon." This bracelet was originally passed down to his daughter-in-law. Who do you not wear? ”
Xue Yuran smiled bitterly, this Dugu Spirit is going to tie himself up with a bracelet.
Like Xue Yang, Xue Yuran was a little unhappy in his heart, and he could smile at each other: "Thank you, aunt." Then Yuran took it. ”
Seeing that Xue Yuran was not only beautiful, but also so knowledgeable. Dugu Ling got up and smiled: "Okay! Good! Then you rest! I won't bother you. ”
Yue E sent Dugu Ling away and sat back beside Xue Yuran's bed with a sad face.
Xue Yuran could see it, carefully looked at the silver steel bracelet in his hand, and said with a smile: "This bracelet is really a treasure." Legend has it that this bracelet was made by the ancestors of the Southern Wuliang Sect thousands of years ago, and it can pray for blessings and eliminate disasters. Mother, do you think this bracelet can really ward off evil? ”
Yue'e's heart was full of troubles, how could she be in the mood to look at the bracelet.
Said earnestly: "Light rain! Didn't you see it, Ji Changkong and when he was a child, they were like two people. Not only does he have an ugly face, but he also has a wooden personality and a cold quirk. When he saw me and your father, he didn't say a word. If you marry him, I am afraid that you will have to sit in a cold room in this life, and you will not get any husband and wife affection! It's better for me to make the decision for you and refuse this matter, so as to save yourself from being wronged. ”
Xue Yuran said with a smile: "The appearance of a person is nothing more than a skin!" When a woman marries a husband, how can she judge her talent by her appearance? Personality quirks do not mean that he is not good-hearted. If you have a marriage contract, how can you break your trust with others? Moreover, there are no truly merciless people. As long as he treats him well, he is really cold-blooded and can always cultivate feelings. ”
Yue E sighed: "Hey! Having said that, I am afraid that there will be no less grievances. This is to blame for your father's drunken gaffe and agreed to the marriage. It's also strange that God doesn't open his eyes, how did the kid of the Ji family look like this. ”
Hearing her mother's grievances, Xue Yuran was relieved: "Mother." All men are created equal, and it is not righteous to hate the appearance of others. Compare my heart to my heart, if I am born with an ugly appearance, the Ji family will come to withdraw from the marriage. How do we feel? Mother and relaxed. The Ji family is a wealthy family, and Uncle Ji is benevolent and righteous. A daughter will not be wronged if she marries. ”
"Mother is not as good as you, you are really the best daughter in the world!"
Holding her daughter in her arms, Yue'e was even more sad and couldn't help crying.
At night, the autumn wind is cold, and the grass and trees are bleak. It's the time for families to fall asleep.
The mountain col of Nanshan in the flag city is full of human figures, and the lights are mottled, like a hundred ghosts walking at night.
Luo Fan was covered in black, stood on a high place, and observed for a long time. The terrain is familiar, and the people in the col can also see it, so they step lightly on the treetops, like a leaf floating away.
Landing on the mountain path, Luofan and other masked people began to look around for something.
Scattered throughout the col, braziers and torches were lit. By the light of the fire, many people were either standing under the trees, sitting on the ground, or hiding in the shadows. And in front of them are all black and gold signboards, on which are written some unusual code words, waiting for the guests to come!
This is the largest ghost market in the Flag City! There are two strange bazaars in the rivers and lakes: ghost markets and dark markets.
The dark market is generally concentrated in the underworld sphere of influence, maintained by nearby underworld gangs, and is mainly used by criminals and villains to trade and trade.
There you can trade human life, conspire to rob, sell stolen goods, and so on. Because the dark market belongs to the realm of the underworld, the dukes of the Baidao and Tiandu dynasties dare not approach, so the location of the dark market is fixed, it is extremely easy to find, and it is also extremely dangerous.
The ghost market and the dark market have the same function, only more low-key and secretive. Its location is not fixed, and neither is the time! All ghost markets are operated by the White Road Flying Soul Villa. If the people of the rivers and lakes want to know the location of the ghost market, they must go to the nearby Yizhuang to find the guardian of the Flying Soul Villa, report their name in the black and white road, and pay a certain fee to get it.
When Luo Fan left Shuidang Lake in the afternoon, he went to Yizhuang to find the guardian to obtain the location of the ghost market. Generally, the location of the ghost market will not inform the Tiandu Dynasty of catching fast. Moreover, according to the Yuan Alliance agreement, the people of the Tiandu Dynasty cannot meddle in the ghost market. Luo Fan reported the name of the underworld "Big Thief King Kong Monkey" prepared in the rivers and lakes before, and knew the location of the ghost market.
The rules of the ghost market are different from the dark market, and you are not allowed to show your face here, and you are not allowed to be loud. If someone has a conflict, it is immediately closed and everyone leaves.
Luo Fan looked for a few steps in the ghost market, and saw a bald young man wearing a golden Buddha mask, a purple robe, and a bookcase standing under a banyan tree in a conspicuous place in front of him. This person is the person who is the news of the Black Blood Building-Star Buddha.
Luo Fan walked over, changed his voice, and asked in a thick voice, "Is there a blood list and a black list about Flag City?" ”
The Star Buddha also hid his voice, like an old man with a hoarse voice, and replied, "Yes! There is only one person on the black list of Qicheng, and the chief arrester of Qicheng catches Luo Tianyao, with a reward of 20,000 taels. As for the blood list, the highest is Yan Feiyang, the son of Qingfeng of Qingfeng Dart Bureau, with a reward of 10,000 taels. Long County viciously caught two thousand taels. There are also a few disciples of the Huangyi Sect, with a reward of three hundred taels. ”
