The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 13

Even without Mo Ran’s reminder, Chu Wanning had already noticed it.

Those people were talking and laughing, but no one knew where their voices were coming from. Those who were sitting or standing, playing finger-guessing games and toasting, all had blank faces, as if they were made of paper.

“What should we do? Do we have to go in and drink with them? ”

Chu Wanning was not amused by Mo Ran’s inappropriate joke. He lowered his head and pondered.

At this moment, a rustling sound of footsteps suddenly came from the distance. Two long lines of people appeared from the hazy fog and slowly approached the main building.

Chu Wanning and Mo Ran subconsciously hid behind the rockery as the two groups of people approached. The leading group was a pair of smiling golden boy and jade girl. These two people actually had facial features, and their facial features were distinct and their skin tone was thick. In the dim light of the night, they looked very much like the paper dolls of boys and girls that were burned for the dead.

Each of them held a red candle in their hands. The candles were as thick as a child’s arm, with dragons and phoenixes entwined around them. As the candles burned, the rich fragrance of a hundred butterflies assailed their nostrils. Mo Ran almost fainted again. Fortunately, the wound on his hand that Chu Wanning had stabbed was still hurting. He fiercely poked the wound again, and finally managed to maintain his consciousness.

Chu Wanning glanced at him.

Mo Ran said, “… Ahem, this is quite useful.”

After a pause, he asked curiously, “Shizun, why don’t you need to poke holes in your body to stay awake?”

Chu Wanning said, “This fragrance has no effect on me.”

“Ah? Why? ”

Chu Wanning said coldly, “You have good willpower.”

Mo Ran: “…”

With the golden boy and jade girl in the lead, the two groups of people walked up the stairs. Chu Wanning shifted his gaze back and watched for a while. Suddenly, he said in a low voice, “Huh?”

He was rarely surprised, so Mo Ran was very curious. Following his line of sight, he was also surprised.

The corpses walking unsteadily in the group were all corpses with their eyes closed. Their skin was pale, and they maintained their appearance when they were alive. Most of them were very young, less than twenty years old. There were both men and women, and one of them was particularly familiar.

The Eldest Young Master of the Chen Clan, whom he had seen in the coffin, had appeared in this group at some point in time. His eyes were closed as he slowly followed the scent of the candle. Beside him was different from the others. Beside him was another corpse. Beside him was a ghost bride made of paper floating in the air.

Young Master Chen was not a big deal, but when they reached the end of the line and saw the people at the end of the line, Mo Ran’s face turned pale.

Shi Mei and Chen Yaoshi were following behind the corpses with their heads down. Both of them had their eyes closed, and their faces were as white as snow. The way they walked was no different from the corpses in front of them. It was unknown whether they were still alive.

Mo Ran’s scalp exploded. He jumped up and wanted to rush forward, but Chu Wanning grabbed his shoulder and said, “Wait.”

“But Shi Mei —!!”

“I know.” Chu Wanning stared at the group that was slowly moving forward and said softly, “Don’t act rashly. Look over there, there’s a barrier. If you rush over, the barrier will scream. I’m afraid that all the faceless ghosts in the courtyard will rush at you. The situation will get out of hand. ”

Chu Wanning was a barrier master. He was good at setting up barriers, and his eyes were sharp. Mo Ran looked over and saw that there was an almost transparent barrier at the entrance to the courtyard.

The golden boy and girl walked to the front of the courtyard and gently blew on the candles, making the flames burn brighter. Then, slowly — — they passed through the barrier and walked into the courtyard.

The men and women behind them followed them and passed through the barrier without any hindrance. The faceless people in the courtyard who were drinking wine turned their heads and looked at the men and women who entered one after another. They began to laugh and clap.

Chu Wanning said, “Go, follow behind them. When you pass through the barrier, remember not to breathe and close your eyes. Also, no matter what happens, follow those corpses and do not speak. ”

There was no need for him to say more. Mo Ran was eager to save people, so he followed Chu Wanning and blended into the crowd of corpses.

The number of corpses in the two groups was equal. Chu Wanning stood behind Shi Mei, so Mo Ran could only stand behind Chen Yaoshi. The group moved very slowly. Mo Ran looked at Shi Mei a few times, but all he saw was a pale face and a snow-white neck that drooped weakly.

With great difficulty, they finally arrived in front of the barrier. The two of them held their breaths and followed smoothly into the courtyard. After entering, he discovered that the interior was much larger than it looked from the outside. Other than the three-story main building that was decorated with lanterns and decorations, there were small rooms on both sides of the courtyard that were closely connected. There seemed to be at least a hundred of them. The windows of each room were pasted with the big red word “Xi” and hung with a red lantern.

All the faceless guests suddenly stood up and saluted with the sound of firecrackers and trumpets.

In front of the building, a faceless praising officer sang, “The auspicious hour has arrived. The bride and groom have entered the garden.”

Mo Ran was stunned. What? So the two groups of corpses were the bride and groom?

He quickly turned his head to ask for help from Chu Wanning, but the Northern Dipper Celestial Venerable frowned and was immersed in his own thoughts. He did not even bother to look at Mo Ran.

Mo Ran felt that his uncle’s painstaking efforts were in vain. Going down the mountain to train, bringing this kind of master was more of a blow to his self-esteem than not bringing him along.

Suddenly, a group of laughing children rushed out from the courtyard. They were wearing bright red clothes, but they tied their hair into small braids with white headbands. Like fish, they flocked to the two sides of the group and began to pull one person, leading them to the rooms on both sides.

Mo Ran did not know what to do. He mouthed to Chu Wanning, “Master, what should we do?”

Chu Wanning shook his head and pointed to the tide of corpses in front of them. His meaning was self-evident — follow them.

Mo Ran had no choice but to let a child pull him and stumble into one of the rooms. As soon as he entered, the child waved his sleeve in the air, and the door slammed shut.

Mo Ran stared at the child, not knowing what this faceless child wanted to do to him.

In his previous life, Chu Wanning first rescued Shi Mei and then broke the illusion. He did not do anything during the whole process and easily got rid of the evil spirit. After that, he was only thinking about the wonderful aftertaste of kissing Shi Mei. After that, he did not listen much to Chu Wanning’s analysis.

Therefore, now that the situation had changed, he had no idea what he would encounter next. He could only brace himself.

In the room, there was a dressing table and a bronze mirror. On a wooden frame, there was a black and red auspicious robe embroidered with Ruyi patterns.

The child patted the stool, indicating that Mo Ran should sit over there.

Mo Ran found that the ghosts here were not very smart. As long as they did not speak, they could not tell the difference between the living and the dead. Therefore, he sat in front of the dressing table as instructed by the child. The child came over and began to help him wash up and change his clothes …

Suddenly, a begonia flower floated in through the window and slowly fell into the water in the bronze basin.

Mo Ran’s eyes lit up. The begonia flower was called Wanye Yuheng. It was Chu Wanning’s special tool for silent communication.

He picked up the begonia flower from the water. The begonia flower instantly bloomed in his palm, revealing a touch of light golden light in the stamen.

He pinched the golden light between his fingers and put it to his ear. Chu Wanning’s voice sounded in his ear.

“Mo Ran, I have used Heaven’s Inquisition to confirm that this is an illusion created by the ghost master of the Colorful Butterfly Town. It has been worshipped by the villagers for a hundred years and gradually achieved a positive result. As long as there are more ghost weddings, its power will become stronger. Therefore, it is very fond of hosting ghost weddings. Those two rows of corpses should be the ghost couples that the people of Colorful Butterfly Town had gathered under its witness over the past several hundred years. It likes this kind of liveliness. Every night, it would summon those corpses into the dreamland and hold another ghost marriage. Moreover, every time it does so, its power would become a bit stronger. ”

Mo Ran thought in his heart — — What a freak!!

When other immortals were free, they would at most play matchmaking with young boys and girls. This ghost master of the Colorful Butterfly Town, it said that it had an immortal body, but its brain had not grown out yet. Its only hobby was to matchmake male and female corpses. Not only did it do it once, but it also summoned the corpses of those ghost weddings from their graves every night and did it again, again and again and again.

Was it so interesting to watch a group of corpses?

This Celestial Bachelor was truly insane.

Chu Wanning said, “Its true body is not here. Don’t act rashly. In a while, follow the instructions of the golden boy and jade girl. Since it wants to absorb the power of the ghost weddings, it will show its true form in the end.”

Mo Ran wanted to ask, “What about Shi Mei? What happened to Shi Mei? ”

“Don’t worry about Shi Mei. Like Madam Chen, he was confused by the powder and temporarily lost his consciousness.” Chu Wanning was very thoughtful. He clearly explained what Mo Ran could do. “Take care of yourself. I will handle everything.”

After saying that, the voice disappeared.

At the same time, the apprentice finished dressing up Mo Ran. He looked up and saw a handsome face in the bronze mirror. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyebrows were clean and fresh. His collars were crossed, and his robes were red. However, his long hair was tied up with a white ribbon. He really looked like a groom of a ghost wedding.

The apprentice made a “please” gesture, and the closed door of the room opened with a squeak.

Under the cloister, there was a row of corpses wearing wedding robes. There were both male and female corpses. It seemed that this ghost master of the Colorful Butterfly Town was really not enlightened. It just wanted to grab a couple and marry them. As for whether it was a man and a woman, a man and a man, or a woman and a woman, it did not matter.

On this side of the cloister, there was only one row of corpses. The other row was on the opposite side. It was too far away for him to see if Chu Wanning and Shi Mei had come out.

The line was slowly moving forward. From time to time, he could hear the chanting of the ceremony in the building. One after another, the ghost weddings were being completed.

Mo Ran glanced at Chen Yaoshi, who was in front of him, and felt that something was wrong. He pondered for a long time, and just as the line was getting shorter and shorter, the last few couples were about to get their turn, this stubborn hooligan finally got it.

Ah! According to the group, wouldn’t this woman in front of him be going through the ceremony of bowing to the Heaven and Earth with Shumi? Was he going to be a couple with that little bitch Chu Wanning? How could that be?

At that moment, the former Sovereign Emperor of the Human Realm was unhappy. He pursed his lips and rudely pulled Chen Yaoshi to the front of the line.

The little boy next to them was stunned, but Mo Ran soon put on a look of a half-paralyzed hanged ghost, hanging his head and hanging his head in the middle of the corpses. Those golden boys and girls with low cultivation were stunned for a while. They probably did not understand what was wrong, so they did not react.

Mo Ran was happy. He followed the line excitedly. When he reached the end of the line, he would meet Shi Mei who was on the other side of the corridor.

At the same time.

Chu Wanning looked at Shi Mei who was standing in front of him and thought for a while. He did not know what kind of danger they would encounter.

He had always been tough on the mouth but soft on the heart. Although he was very harsh, in fact, as long as he was there, he would never let his disciple take risks.

Hence, he pulled Shi Mei and pulled the groggy little fellow to the back while he stood at Shi Mei’s original position.

It was his turn.

At the end of the corridor, the Ghost Hunter was holding a black and red tray. When she saw Chu Wanning coming, she chuckled. Her featureless face made a girl’s voice.

“Congratulations, my wife. Congratulations, my wife. You are like old friends.”

Chu Wanning’s face darkened instantly.

My, my wife …?? Don’t you have eyes?

He looked at the blank face of the Ghost Hunter and held back.

You really don’t have f * cking eyes.

The Wandering Ghost Image giggled as she picked up the red veil from the tray. She raised her jade-like arms and covered Chu Wan Ning’s face. Then she reached out her cold hands and gently supported Chu Wanning. She smiled and said, “My wife, please.”
