One of the people who carried the stretcher was not careful and his grip was detached. Seeing the body falling from the palanquin, the palanquin began to scream in fear. Thus, the crowd of people who brought the bride began to panic and scatter. A pedestrian who came out of nowhere took out his glittering long sword and shouted, "What's wrong ?! Is he coming ?! "What happened next was that the road had become really chaotic. When Xie Lian once again focused on the object that fell from the stretcher, she realized that the fallen head was not a human head. Instead, it is a doll's head made of wood.
Fu Yao once again said, "Too ugly!"
With that in mind, the teahouse owner approached them carrying a teapot made of copper. Xie Lian recalled the expression the teahouse owner showed yesterday and then he asked, "Sir, yesterday I also saw these people making a crowd on the streets, what are they doing?"
"They are trying to challenge death." Said the owner of the teahouse.
"ha ha ha…"
Xie Lian was not surprised at the answer she gave and asked another thing. "Are they trying to fool the Groom's Ghost to appear?"
"What else do you think they are doing? A father who loses his daughter offers a huge reward to anyone who catches the ghost of the groom and helps him to find his daughter. That's why these people always make a fuss and this kind of atmosphere every day. "
A father who made the offer must be an official they had talked about earlier, Xie Lian looked again at the woman's head that was rolling on the ground and immediately she understood that these people were trying to disguise the wooden doll as a bride.
And then he heard Fu Yao who was sick of saying, "If I become his ghost, and someone gives me such an ugly object. I will destroy this entire city. "
Hearing that, Xie Lian then reprimanded, "Fu Yao, such words are not appropriate for a god like you to say. And also can you change your habit of rolling those eyeballs? It would be better if you could limit it, maybe five times a day is enough. "
Nan Feng added, "Even if you limit it to rolling his eyes only five times a day, he won't be able to do it."
Suddenly a young boy came out of the crowd, he looked like a leader of the crowd. The young man waved his hand and then shouted in a loud voice, "Listen to me, Listen! It would be useless if we continue with something like this, how many times have we done this? And see until now can we fool that ghost? "
One by one, the people whispered and agreed with him. Seeing this, the young man continued saying, "In my opinion, because we have started this, we must continue this mission no matter what. And it will be better if we head straight to Mount Yu Jun. Everyone can search the mountain then capture and kill the evil creature! I will lead; anyone who has the courage can follow me. After we kill the ugly creature, we can share the prize! "
At first only a few people shouted in agreement. Over time the number of people who agree with it increases. They all sound excited. On the other hand, Xia asked the teahouse owner again, "Bad creature? Sir, what do they mean by 'ugly creatures'? "
The owner of the teahouse replied, "According to the news circulating, the Ghost of the Groom is an ugly creature living in Mount Yu Jun. He was born very ugly, so no woman likes him. That's why he's holding a grudge and kidnaps someone else's bride so they can't feel a happy marriage.
This was not recorded in the scroll given to him by the Ling Wen Palace Hall. Xie Lian asked again, "Do people really say that? Or is it just speculation? "
"Who knows? But many people who said he had met this Ghost, they said that the Ghost's face was entirely covered by bandages except for his sharp eyes. He could not speak, so he roared like a beast. News like this is circulating everywhere. "
Fu Yao refuted, "covering his entire face with a bandage doesn't mean he's ugly. It could be because she is too beautiful, so she doesn't want others to see her. "
The owner of the teahouse paused for a moment, and then said. "Yes, could be. But I don't know because I myself have never met him. "
In the crowd, suddenly a girl made a sound. "You ... you guys. Do not listen to it. Do not go. Yu Jun Mountain is very dangerous ... "
The girl who spoke was hiding in a corner of the street, she was the same girl who prayed at Feng Xin Temple last night. Miss Ying.
When Xie Lian saw the woman, she felt pain in her cheeks. He unconsciously touched his cheek.
When the young man saw Ying, his face turned sour. He pushed him aside and said, "We men are discussing, why do women like you interfere?"
Ying was frightened and curled up after being pushed like that. He gathered all his courage and said again, "don't listen to him. Whether it's pretending to have a marriage or looking for it to Mount Yu jun, both are very dangerous. Isn't that the same as you giving yourself up for? "
The young man replied, "You can only say things like that. We all work together risking our lives to help people. And you? You're just a selfish girl, a girl who is selfish and refuses to pretend to be a bride and sits on a stretcher. You can't even muster up the courage to help others. And now you're here to stop us, what exactly do you want? "
The young man pushed the girl every time he said the sentence. People in the teahouse don't like to see this. Xie Lian focused on opening the wrapped bandage around her wrist. The teahouse owner said, "The young leader once asked the girl to pretend to be a bride. At that time, the words issued by the young man were very sweet, as if his lips were covered in honey. But after the girl refused, he turned into that. "
On the street, the youths also shouted, "Don't stand there and block the road, get out of the way, get out of the way!" When Ying saw this, his flat face turned very red and tears began to well up in his eyes. He asked, "You ... why do you have to say that?"
"Everything I say is a fact, right? I asked you to pretend to be a bride but you don't want to do it. "
"Yes, I really don't dare to do it. But you don't have to ... tear my shirt ... "
When Ying said that. It was like he stuck a knife into the young man's wound. He immediately jumped up and denied, "Ugly women like you don't accuse people of origin! I tore your shirt? You think I'm blind? It could be you who want to show it to people, so you tore it yourself! And you know what? Your face is ugly, even if your clothes are torn no one will want to see it! Don't try to accuse me! "
Nan Feng really couldn't stand hearing this. The glass in his hand broke into pieces after the 'ka-cha' sound earlier. But when he was about to stand up, a white shadow crossed him. The young man standing tall above the girl suddenly shouted. His face was hit by something and he sat on the ground and blood began to drip from his fingers.
People did not have time to find out what had happened, because the young man suddenly sat on the ground. People think that Ying beat him up. But when they turned their faces to look for Ying, he was no longer seen covered by a priest who wore a white robe and stood before him.
Xie Lian's hands were tucked into his sleeve. He didn't even turn around to look at the boy, and just looked at Ying with a smile. He bent slightly to align his gaze with Ying, Xie Lian asked, "Young lady, would you come inside to drink tea with me?"
The young man who sat on the ground felt his lips and nose seemed to be seriously injured. To be honest, his entire face ached, as if he had just been beaten by a steel whip. However, the priest before him obviously did not have any weapons. He didn't see how the priest was moving anyway. The young man trembled trying to get up and point his sword at the man, "This person is using demonic power!"
When I heard the word 'demonic power', a group of young men there pointed their swords at Xie Lian. But they never expected Nan Feng who was behind Xie Lian to swing his palm. After the 'ka-cha' sound again, the pole beside them collapsed.
When they saw such strength, the faces of the young men immediately changed. The young man also actually felt fear in his heart, but he still did not want to admit his mistakes. Instead, he faced Xie Lian and shouted, "Today I admit defeat, what school are you from? Tell me your name, and we will resolve this problem in the future ... "
Nan Feng didn't want to respond, but Fu Yao who was beside him answered, "Of course that doesn't matter, this person is from Ju ..."
Nan Feng swung his palm again, and finally the two of them fought again. On the other hand, Xie Lian initially invited the woman into the teahouse so that the woman could sit down for a while, and Xie Lian would order snacks and fruit-flavored tea. However, Ying wiped her tears and left. Xie Lian could only sigh seeing the woman leave and enter the teahouse alone. When he entered, the teahouse owner reminded him not to forget to compensate for the pole. "
When Xie Lian sat down again in his chair, he said to Nan Feng, "Don't forget to compensate the pole."
Nan Feng: "..."
Xie Lian continued, "Before that, we must arrange what we will do. Can anyone lend me spiritual power? I need to enter the spirit communication ranks to ensure some information. "
Nan Feng raised his hand. Then the two joined their palms together, making a very simple contract, Xie Lian was finally able to enter the ranks of spirit communication again.
When he entered the ranks, Ling Wen said, "Your Highness the Prince can finally borrow spiritual power? Is the North okay? How are the two gods of war voluntarily offering to help? "
Xie Lian raised her head and looked at the pole that Nan Feng had demolished, and then looked at Fu Yao who was closing his eyes in meditation. Then Xie Llian answered, "These two young gods of war have their respective virtues, and both are reliable."
Sounding like he was smiling Ling Wen said again, "Then we must congratulate General Nan Yang and Xuan Zhen. Hearing what His Majesty said, the two young gods had a time of immeasurable talent and ascension would be a sure thing for them, ah! "
However, after Ling Wen finished his words, Mu Qing answered in a cold tone. "He didn't tell me about his trip and just left. I really don't know anything about this. "
Hearing that, Xie Lian spoke in her heart, "You really maintain a line of spirit communication throughout the day ..."
Ignoring Mu Qing, Ling Wen said, "Your Majesty, where are you now? General Pei is the one who governs the North now, Incense burned for him is very much there, so if you need help, you can stay overnight in Min Guang Temple. "
"There's no need to bother, we didn't find Min Guang temple nearby, and decided to stay at Nan Yang Temple. I have a quick question, Ling Wen, about the Ghost of the Groom, do you have any more information? "
"Yes there is, we just found out. My palace is checking the level of this substitute ghost, and that level is at the level of "wrath."
'Wrath!'
For demons and ghosts that wreaked havoc in the mortal world, Ling Wen Palace Hall classified them into four ranks according to their abilities. These four ranks are 'Ferocious', 'Cruel', 'Wrathful', and 'Destruction'.
Ghosts from the ranks of 'Ferocious' have the ability to kill a single target. 'Cruel' ranked monsters can destroy entire houses, while 'Anger' puts ghosts in a city to slaughter. And the scariest of them all was the rank of 'Destruction'. Every time someone is born, he can destroy a country and cause suffering for people, making the whole mortal world fall apart.
The Ghost Bridegroom is ranked Wrath, ranked second of the most terrible level of 'Destroyer'. If so, anyone who managed to meet him face to face would not be able to escape from him.
Learning what he heard from the ranks of spirit communication, he immediately told the two gods of war. Nan Feng concluded, "If that is true, it means that all the information about the" ugly creature "and all of his face wrapped in bandages is only a rumor, or the person who claims that they saw him actually saw something else and not the Ghost."
Xie Lian expressed his own opinion, "There is another possibility, maybe this Bride Ghost cannot or may not hurt people under certain conditions."
But Fu Yao did not give his opinion and instead criticized, "Ling Wen Palace Hall is very inefficient! It took so long for them to tell the level of the Ghost Bride, what's the point of them just telling us now? "
"At least, we now know the strength of our opponents. But because this time our opponent is the level of 'Wrath', it means that the spiritual power possessed by this Ghost must be very high. It is impossible to defeat him only with fake puppets. If we want to trick him, then we cannot use diversion tactics where the person who delivers the bride who is actually a doll is disguised to a fake wedding. Apart from that, they could not hold any weapons. However, the most important aspect is that the bride must be truly a human. "
"We can go out on the streets and find someone we want to use as bait." Fu Yao said.
However, Nan Feng immediately rejected the idea. "We can't do that."
"Why? If he is not willing, we can give him money, and surely he will change his mind. "
Hearing that, Xie Lian interrupted their debate. "Fu Yao. Although there are women who want to do that, it would be better if we don't use that plan. The Bride Ghost is at the level of 'Wrath'. If we make a mistake, we will be fine. But if the bride was brought by him, an ordinary human like that would not be able to survive or run away. Then that would be the same as leading to death. "
"If we can't use women, then we can use men."
Nan Feng asked, "where will we find a man who voluntarily pretends to be ..."
He hadn't even finished his sentence when his gaze and Fu Yao headed in one direction.
"????" Xie Lian still smiled kindly.
***
Afternoon at Nan Yang Temple.
Xie Lian came out of the temple with really messy hair.
When the two war gods who guarded the temple's door saw him, Nan Feng began shouting 'Damn!' He hurried out.
Xie Lian was silent and asked, "What kind of reaction is that?"
If you ask someone to come and see, they will be able to say at a glance that this is a young man with a gentle and handsome face
However, that was exactly the reason for Nan Feng's reaction. For a boy who is handsome to wear a bride's wedding dress, that picture is one where many people cannot see directly. An example is Nan Feng. He may not be able to accept it, and thus the response is so strong.
Xie Lian realized that Fu Yao was looking at him with a confused look. When he glanced at Fu Yao he asked, "Do you want to say something?"
Fu Yao nodded and said, "If I'm the Ghost and there are people who give to me women like this ..."
"Destroying the whole city?" Asked Xie Lian to continue.
"No, I will only kill this woman." Fu Yao answered flatly.
Xie Lian smiled. "In that case, I can only say that fortunately I am not a woman."
"I think you should try going again to the ranks of spirit communication and asking if there are any heavenly officers who you help to teach you spells that can change your body shape. It will be easier to do that. "Fu Yao suggested.
It is true that there are some heavenly officers who can use spells to change their body shape. However, Xie Lian was afraid that the time available would not allow her to learn a new spell. On the other hand, Nan Feng had just returned to the temple with a pale face. Having finished cursing, he was calmer now, a habit almost identical to that of the General he served.
Xie Lian looked at the sky that was getting dark and said, "No problem, after you cover my head with a veil, I will look the same as a bride." After he finished speaking, he tried to cover himself with a veil.
But Fu Yao held his hand and stopped him, "Wait a minute. You won't know how the Ghost Groom will hurt people. If he opens your veil and realizes he is being fooled, something unexpected will happen when he is angry. Won't that only add to the problem? "
When Xie Lian heard his words, he thought that was a plausible reason. However, when he stepped forward he heard a tear.
The red wedding dress found by Fu Yao really didn't fit Xie Lian.
This dress is actually intended for women who have a petite body posture. When Xie Lian uses it, even if the waist is right, it will be very difficult for him to raise his arms or step on his feet. Besides, when she made more movements, the dress would tear. Right when Xie Lian began to search everywhere to try and find which part had been torn, a voice was heard from the door of the temple. "Excuse me, may I ask ..."
The three turned towards the voice. But what they saw was Ying, who was holding a fold of white cloth and hesitantly staring at them.
He explained, "I remember that I met you yesterday here, so I decided to come and see if I could meet you again. I washed this clothes. I will place it here. For yesterday and today, thank you very much. "
Xie Lian was just about to smile at him when he suddenly realized what he looked like now. Therefore he decided not to speak so as not to frighten people.
Who would have thought that Ying was not afraid of him and even stepped forward and asked, "this ... if you want, I can help you?"
"..." Xie Lian answered, "No ... Miss, please don't misunderstand. I don't have hobbies like that. "
Ying hurriedly explained, "I know, I know, what I mean is that if you don't mind, I can help you guys. You ... you want to capture the Ghost Bride right? "
"..."
His tone got clearer and he raised his head, then said. "I know how to fix clothes. I always carry needles and threads wherever I go. Whatever doesn't fit the size, I can fix it. I also know how to do makeup. Let me help you! "
"..."
After a few moments passed, Xie Lian once again walked out of the temple while lowering her head.
This time, the bride's veil covered her head. Nan Feng and Fu Yao seemed to want to take a peek, but in the end, they still decided that it was better to respect their eyes and not see them. The stretcher they found in front of the temple, and those carefully chosen to carry the chair had been waiting there for a long time. The moon is high in the night sky. Thus, His Highness the Prince sat on a large red stretcher, wearing a bride's wedding dress.
