After wrapping the little black tiger in the blanket, Lu Chen put on his clothes and quietly left the Changchun Temple. He followed the sound and chased after it. Not long after, he saw the team again.
On the dark street, wild horses held the banners. Monkeys lifted the palanquin.
The black sheep beat the gong to clear the way. The yellow weasel played the suona, and the wild boars lined up as guards of honor. They stood up on their hind legs, and their brocade robes were embroidered with jade satin. They beat and beat, and it was lively.
"It's neither human nor ghost. What the hell is it?"
Lu Chen hid in the shadows and secretly looked around. Suddenly, he saw a figure not far away. It was Fang Yuqi, who had just left in the afternoon. The other party was dressed in white and held a long sword in her hand. She was still disguised as a man.
Only then did Lu Chen remember.
Fang Yuqi had taken one of his three nether talismans. He quietly walked forward. "Yuqi~"
"Mm." Fang Yuqi nodded lightly, her brows furrowed as she continued to size up the bridal escort team.
"Can you tell what's going on?"
"Hard to say." Fang Yuqi shook her head and explained, "I've flipped through a lot of ancient books over the past few days. I've seen it with my own eyes today, but I'm still not completely sure. However, it's just some demons and ghosts."
"What's the details?"
"Ghosts, or wraiths."
Lu Chen was deep in thought. He didn't know much about the two, but he knew that they usually had a common characteristic. They would die if they saw the light. Therefore, they usually only had one night to live.
It followed life and death. However, these things were clearly different, so he slowly shook his head. "It doesn't look like it."
"It's indeed a little different…"
Unable to figure out the other party's background, the two of them did not dare to interfere rashly. They followed the bridal escort team and soon arrived at a remote place.
The surroundings were barren, and there was only a dilapidated temple.
Lu Chen said in surprise, "Land temple?"
"Yes, it was abandoned two years ago. It seems that the old temple attendant died half a year ago."
"Are there people here?"
Lu Chen's expression changed, and he suddenly became worried. Three words kept appearing in his mind like a nightmare.
"Sell Meng Yao!"
"Sell Meng Yao!"
"Sell Meng Yao!"
…
Fang Yuqi saw that Lu Chen's expression was not right and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"I-I'm fine." Lu Chen came back to his senses and muttered, "I hope it's not Yaoyao…"
At this moment, the bridal escort team finally stopped in front of the temple door. The blowing sound stopped for a moment, and two monkeys carrying the palanquin passed through the dilapidated temple door and walked straight in.
Lu Chen was a little nervous as he clenched his fists. Fang Yuqi glanced at Lu Chen and frowned slightly. Then, her cherry lips parted slightly. "It's out."
Lu Chen hurriedly looked over and saw two monkeys carrying a small figure out. The figure was wearing a paper wedding dress with a red veil on her head. Her figure… matched Yaoyao's!
"Yaoyao?"
Lu Chen's heart tightened. For some reason, the little figure broke free from the restraints of the two monkeys and jogged to escape. After taking two steps, the monkeys caught up to her again. As she struggled, the red veil on her head suddenly fell off.
Instantly, a small face was revealed.
Her eyebrows were curved, and her face was round. Her lips were red, and her teeth were white. There was a drop of cinnabar between her eyebrows. Although she was not old, she had a spiritual aura.
"It's not Yaoyao!"
Lu Chen let out a long breath and completely relaxed.
Yaoyao was thin and small. Her cheeks were a little sunken, and her frontal bone was not plump. Although this person looked a little similar to Yaoyao, she was much prettier than Yaoyao. She was also slightly older.
It was a completely different face.
"…"
The little girl was forcefully stuffed into the paper palanquin. The big red palanquin slowly turned around, and the sound of blowing and beating sounded again as it returned north.
At this moment, the small window on the palanquin suddenly opened. It reflected a small face. She looked around, her big eyes filled with loneliness. She sobbed, "Where's Brother? Why didn't Brother come to send me off? We made a pinky promise…"
Boom!
Lu Chen's mind exploded as he roared, "Let go of that girl! Let go of that girl! Let go of that girl!"
His voice was still echoing in the night when the peach wood sword appeared in Lu Chen's hand. He held the hilt of the sword and strode towards red palanquin, shouting angrily, "Sword Control Technique!"
With a thought, it was as if a hundred swords had been born.
The peach wood sword carried layers of illusions and was wrapped in spiritual light. It flew quickly and pierced back and forth, piercing through the beast shadows one after another.
Yaoyao cried and laughed. She took the opportunity to jump off the red sedan chair. Wearing a paper red wedding dress, she quickly ran towards Lu Chen. "Brother, Brother Daoist!"
"Yaoyao!"
Lu Chen was also overjoyed. He opened his arms and wanted to carry Yaoyao. When the two figures touched, they suddenly passed through each other's bodies.
"Brother~"
"Yaoyao!"
The two of them turned around, momentarily at a loss!
"Be careful!" Fang Yuqi shouted, and the longsword in her hand suddenly flew up. The sword flew out and stabbed at Lu Chen's back. Lu Chen hurriedly turned around and saw the beast shadow that he had pierced with the peach wood sword.
He was actually unscathed!
For a moment, he was both shocked and scared! One had to know that his peach wood sword was a magical artifact that could exorcize ghosts and evil.
"Ji ji ~"
The four monkeys carrying the palanquin were furious. They jumped up and down, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they pounced at Lu Chen. Fang Yuqi's sword stabbed down, but the monkey only paused for a moment before scratching Lu Chen's face.
Lu Chen dodged. He reached out to grab the flying peach wood sword and swept it horizontally. "Die!"
The monkey should have been cut in half at the waist, but the other party's body only paused for a moment before returning to normal. Lu Chen was shocked and instantly slashed out more than ten times.
Every sword was hit, and every sword was unharmed.
There was a slight delay.
The four monkeys had already surrounded Lu Chen. One of them bared its teeth and stretched out its claws to grab Lu Chen's abdomen. Before Lu Chen could dodge, the monkey staggered and passed through his body.
There was no damage at all!
"This …"
Lu Chen simply stopped dodging and allowed the four monkeys to scratch his body.
All of them did not harm him.
At this moment, Fang Yuqi ran over with two torches and quickly explained, "They're ghosts. They should be afraid of fire." As she spoke, she casually smashed them, causing sparks to explode and sending a monkey flying.
Except, the monkey did not seem to be injured. After getting up, it pounced again.
"It's most likely not an ordinary ghost!"
Fang Yuqi's brows were tightly knitted together. She suddenly felt that this was extremely troublesome. She turned her head and saw that the other beast shadows had also pounced forward. There were more than ten beasts, each of them baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
Not only did they pounce on the two of them, there were also two yellow weasel ghosts who took the opportunity to sneak attack Yaoyao and chase her back and forth.
Lu Chen took a torch and quickly walked forward. With two blows, he sent the weasel flying. Yaoyao hurriedly squatted on the ground and trembled. "Yaoyao is scared!"
"Afraid of fire?"
"Mm, mm~"
Seeing Yaoyao nod, Lu Chen's heart sank and he quickly took a few steps back. Only then did Yaoyao stand up with a pale face.
In just a moment, the two torches were extinguished one after another, but the dozen ghosts still did not retreat.
"Yaoyao, run!" Lu Chen roared and blocked the ghosts with Fang Yuqi. Yaoyao, wearing a paper wedding dress, ran into the night wind in a panic. She ran further and further away, occasionally looking back.
"Ji ji~"
A monkey wanted to chase after him, but Lu Chen caught up in a few steps. He was furious and spat out, "Go to hell!"
Dark red airwaves surged as half of the [Pure Yang Breath] poured out and spat on the monkey's face.
"Ji ji~"
The monkey let out a miserable scream and scratched its face with its claws, causing its face to be mangled. It wailed and rolled on the ground.
After struggling for a moment, it turned into a wisp of green smoke and completely dissipated!
