6 chapter 6

One of the bearers didn't pay attention and stepped on an arm. He was the first to cry out. The wedding procession immediately went into an uproar. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! A group of people pulled out a shining white broadsword and shouted, "What happened?! Are they here?! "Who knew where they were originally hiding. The street became noisy. When Xie Lian looked again, he saw that the separated head wasn't a living person, but rather a wooden doll.

Fu Yao said, "Too ugly!"

Just then, the tea sommelier came over with a copper pot. Xie Lian remembered his attitude from yesterday and said, "Shopkeeper, I saw this group of people playing on the street yesterday. Today, I see them again. What are they doing?"

The tea sommelier said, "Courting death."

"Hahaha … …"

Xie Lian wasn't surprised. "Are they trying to lure the ghost bridegroom out?"

The tea sommelier said, "What else could they be trying to do? There's a bride's father who offered a large reward for finding his daughter and catching the ghost bridegroom. This group of people has been creating a foul atmosphere all day. "

The father who offered the reward was definitely that official. Xie Lian glanced at the crudely made woman's head on the ground and knew that they wanted to use this dummy to disguise as the bride.

He heard Fu Yao say in disgust, "If I were the ghost bridegroom and they gave me such an ugly thing, I would destroy this town."

Xie Lian said, "Fu Yao, your words don't sound like something an immortal should say. Also, can you change your habit of rolling your eyes? Why don't you set a small goal for yourself, like rolling your eyes five times a day or something like that? "

Nan Feng said, "Even if you set a goal for him to roll his eyes fifty times a day, it still wouldn't be enough!"

At this moment, a young man suddenly squeezed out of the procession. He was in high spirits and seemed to be the leader. He raised his arms and shouted, "Listen to me, listen to me! It's useless to continue like this! How many trips have we made these past few days? Has the ghost bridegroom been lured out? "

The group of burly men echoed his complaints. That young man said, "In my opinion, we might as well go all the way and directly charge into Mount Yu Jun. Everyone search the mountain, catch that ugly person, and kill him! I'll take the lead. Good men, follow me. Kill that ugly person, and everyone will split the reward! "

At first, the group of men said a few words in unison. Gradually, their voices became louder and louder. In the end, everyone responded. It sounded very loud. Xie Lian asked, "Ugly? Shopkeeper, what's up with this ugly monster they're talking about? "

The tea sommelier said, "It's said that the ghost bridegroom is an ugly freak who lives on Mount Yu Jun. It's precisely because he's too ugly that no woman likes him. That's why he harbors resentment in his heart and specifically steals other people's brides, not letting them have a good time."

This wasn't recorded on the scroll of Ling Wen Palace Hall. Xie Lian asked, "Is there such a saying? Could it be a guess? "

The tea sommelier said, "Who knows? It's said that quite a few people have seen it. It's said that its entire face is wrapped in bandages, its eyes are fierce, and it can't speak. It only knows how to growl like a wolfdog. It's been spread like a rumor. "

Fu Yao said, "Having a face wrapped in bandages doesn't necessarily mean that she's ugly. It could also be because she's too beautiful and doesn't want others to see her."

The tea sommelier was speechless for a moment, then said, "Who knows? Anyway, I've never seen it."

At this moment, a young girl's voice came from the street. She said, "You guys … … Don't listen to him. Don't go, Mount Yu Jun is very dangerous … …"

The one who was hiding in the corner of the street and speaking was precisely the girl who had come to Nan Yang Temple last night to pray for blessings, Little Ying.

The moment Xie Lian saw her, he felt a slight pain on his face and unconsciously raised his hand to rub it.

When that young man saw her, his expression didn't look good. He pushed her and said, "Big men are talking. Why is a little girl like you interrupting?"

Being pushed by him, Little Ying slightly cowered. She summoned her courage and said in a low voice, "You guys don't listen to him. Whether it's a fake bridegroom or a search of the mountain, it's all so dangerous. Isn't this the same as throwing away your life? "

The young man said, "You make it sound nice. We're all risking our lives to get rid of evil for the common people, but what about you? You're selfish. You're not willing to pretend to be a bride and get on the sedan chair. For the sake of us common people, you don't even have this bit of courage. Now, you've come to obstruct us. What are your intentions? "

Every time he said a sentence, he would push that young girl, causing everyone in the tea shop to frown. Xie Lian lowered his head to remove the bandage on his wrist. At the same time, he heard the tea sommelier say, "This youngster. Previously, he wanted to coax this girl into pretending to be a bride. It was as if his mouth was smeared with honey, but the girl refused. Now, he's using this kind of face again."

On the street, a group of burly men also said, "Don't stand here and block the road. Move to the side, move to the side!" When Little Ying saw this, her flat face flushed red. Tears swirled in her eyes as she said, "You … … Why do you have to speak like this?"

That young man then said, "Am I right or not? If I asked you to pretend to be a bride, would you rather die than to do it? "

Little Ying said, "I wouldn't dare, but you also didn't need to, to cut my skirt … …"

The moment she mentioned this matter, that young man instantly jumped up as if he had been poked in the foot. Pointing at her nose, he said, "You ugly freak, stop slandering people! I cut your skirt? Do you think I'm blind?! Who knows if you didn't want to expose yourself to others and cut yourself? Who knew that no one would look at your ugly face even if your skirt was torn? Don't think you can blame it on me! "

Nan Feng couldn't bear to listen any longer. The teacup in his hand shattered with a cracking sound. Just as he was about to stand up, a white shadow floated to his side. The youngster, who had jumped three feet high, let out a loud cry. He covered his face and fell to the ground on his butt. Blood dripped down from the gaps between his fingers.

Before anyone could clearly see what had happened, he had already sat on the ground. They all thought that Little Ying had suddenly jumped up. Who knew that when they looked at her again, they couldn't see her anymore. A white-clothed Daoist was standing in front of her.

Xie Lian folded his hands in his sleeves. Without even turning his head, he looked at Little Ying with a beaming smile. He slightly bent his waist so that his eyes were level with hers. He asked, "Miss, I wonder if I can invite you in to have a cup of tea?"

On the other side, the youngster on the ground was in severe pain from his mouth and nose. His face was in so much pain that it seemed as if he had been violently beaten by a steel whip. However, this Daoist clearly didn't have a weapon on him. Moreover, he didn't see how he had attacked or what he had used to attack. The youngster staggered as he crawled up. Raising his knife, he shouted, "This person is using witchcraft!"

When the group of burly men behind him heard the words' witchcraft ', they all raised their knives in response. Who would have thought that behind them, Nan Feng would suddenly strike out with his palm. "Kacha!" One of the pillars snapped in half.

Seeing this godly strength, the group of burly men's expressions all changed. The youngster's heart was filled with fear, but he still stubbornly refused to admit his mistake. As he ran, he shouted at them, "Today, I've lost. Which path are you heroes from? Leave your names and we'll meet again in the future … …"

Nan Feng simply disdained to reply. However, Fu Yao, who was standing to the side, said, "No problem, no problem. This is Ju … …"

Nan Feng flipped his hand and struck out with another palm. Just like that, the two of them began to fight without batting an eyelid. Xie Lian originally wanted to invite the little girl in to sit and order her a fruit tea or something to eat. However, she wiped her tears and left by herself. Xie Lian could only sigh as he watched her back and enter. When he entered, the tea sommelier said, "Remember to pay for the pillars."

Thus, when Xie Lian sat down, he said to Nan Feng, "Remember to pay for the pillars."

Nan Feng, "… …"

Xie Lian said, "Before that, let's first take care of proper business. Who can lend me some of your Fa Li? I need to enter the spiritual communication array to verify some information. "

Nan Feng raised his hand and the two of them clapped their hands to make an oath. This could be considered to have established an extremely simple contract. With this, Xie Lian could finally enter the spiritual communication array again.

The moment he entered, he heard Ling Wen say, "Your Highness, you've finally managed to borrow some Fa Li? Did your progress in the North go smoothly? How are the help of those two little military officers who volunteered to help? "

Xie Lian raised his head and glanced at the pillar that had been broken by Nan Feng's palm. Then, he looked at Fu Yao, who had his eyes closed and was resting with a cold expression on his face. Xie Lian said, "Those two little military officers each have their own merits. They're both moldable talents."

Ling Wen smiled and said, "Then I really have to congratulate General Nan Yang and General Xuan Zhen. According to what Your Highness has said, these two little military officers will certainly have boundless prospects. Ascension is just around the corner."

Not long after, Mu Qing's cold voice floated out and said, "He didn't inform me of his trip this time. Let him go. In any case, I don't know anything."

Xie Lian thought to himself, "You really are guarding the spiritual communication array all day long … …"

Ling Wen said, "Your Highness, where have you landed now? The North is where General Pei is overseeing things. The incense there is very strong. If Your Highness needs it, you can temporarily stay at his Ming Guang Palace Hall. "

Xie Lian said, "No need to trouble yourself. We couldn't find Ming Guang Palace Hall nearby, so we settled down at Nan Yang Palace Hall. May I ask, Ling Wen, do you have any more information about this ghost bridegroom? "

Ling Wen replied, "Yes. Just now, our palace hall's evaluation came out. It's' Fierce '. "

'Fierce'!

Regarding demons and ghosts that brought disaster to the human world, Ling Wen Palace Hall divided them into 'Evil', 'Fierce', 'Fierce', and 'Absolute' according to their abilities.

'Evil' could kill a person, 'Fierce' could exterminate a clan, and 'Fierce' could massacre a city. As for the most frightening 'Absolute', once they appeared, they would bring disaster to the country and bring disaster to the people, throwing the world into chaos.

This ghost bridegroom hiding in Mount Yu Jun was actually 'Fierce', second only to 'Absolute'. Then, it was likely that those who saw him wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.

Thus, after exiting the spirit communication array and informing the other two of this matter, Nan Feng said, "Those so-called ugly bandaged men are most likely just rumors. Otherwise, they just saw something else. "

Xie Lian said, "There's also another possibility. For example, under certain circumstances, this ghost bridegroom won't, or can't, hurt people. "

Fu Yao complained, "Ling Wen Palace Hall is really inefficient. It took them so long to come up with an evaluation. What's the use of it!"

Xie Lian said, "In any case, we have some understanding of the enemy's strength. However, since it's' Fierce ', this ghost bridegroom's magic power must be extremely strong. It's impossible for a fake person to deceive him. If we want to lure him out, then the bridal party can't use illusions and disguise themselves with puppets. They also can't carry weapons. Most importantly, the bride must also be a living person. "

Fu Yao said, "Just find a woman on the streets and let her be the bait."

However, Nan Feng vetoed the idea. "That won't do."

Fu Yao asked, "Why? Not willing? Just give me some money and I'll be willing. "

Xie Lian said, "Fu Yao, even if there's a woman willing, it's best not to use this method. This ghost bridegroom is' Fierce '. If we fail, we won't be able to do anything. However, if the bride is kidnapped, a weak woman can't escape or resist. I'm afraid only death awaits her. "

Fu Yao said, "Then if we can't find a woman, we can only find a man."

Nan Feng said, "Where can we find a man who's willing to disguise as … …"

Before he could finish speaking, the two people's gazes shifted over.

Xie Lian was still smiling. "???"

Night, Nan Yang Temple.

Xie Lian came out from the back of the temple with disheveled hair.

When the two people guarding the temple door saw him, Nan Feng cursed on the spot, "F * ck!!!" and rushed out.

Xie Lian was speechless for a moment before saying, "Is it worth it?"

Anyone would be able to tell at a glance that this was a handsome man with gentle features.

However, it was precisely because of this that a handsome man wearing a woman's wedding dress was a scene that many people couldn't look straight at. For example, Nan Feng probably couldn't accept it, which was why he reacted so fiercely.

Xie Lian looked at Fu Yao, who was standing in place, and swept his gaze over him with a complicated gaze. "Do you have anything to say?"

Fu Yao nodded and said, "If I were the ghost bridegroom, who would give me this kind of woman … …"

Xie Lian said, "You'll just destroy this town?"

Fu Yao coldly said, "No, I'll just kill this woman."

Xie Lian smiled. "Then I can only say that it's fortunate that I'm not a woman."

Fu Yao said, "I feel that you might as well go to the spiritual communication array and ask if there are any Heavenly Officials who are willing to teach you the method of transformation. It's more practical."

There were indeed a few Heavenly Officials in the Heaven Realm who, due to special needs, knew the method of transformation. However, he was afraid that it would be too late to learn it now. On the other side, Nan Feng walked in with a pale face. After he finished cursing, he calmed down a lot. This was exactly the same as the General he served. Xie Lian looked at the sky and said, "Forget it, it's all the same even if I cover my head." As he said this, he was about to cover himself when Fu Yao raised his hand to block him. "Wait a moment. You also don't know how that ghost bridegroom harms people. If he discovers that he was tricked the moment he takes off his veil, wouldn't a sudden change occur in his rage? Wouldn't that create more twists and turns? "

When Xie Lian heard this, he thought it made sense. However, the moment he took a step forward, he heard a ripping sound.

The red wedding dress that Fu Yao had found for him really didn't fit him very well.

Originally, a woman's figure was much more petite. When he wore it like this, his waist didn't seem to be out of place. However, when he raised his sleeves and raised his feet, he felt extremely restricted. If he moved too much, the dress would be torn. Just as he was looking around to see which part of the dress was torn, a voice came from the entrance of the temple. "Excuse me … …"

The three of them followed the voice and looked over. They saw Little Ying holding a folded white dress in her hands. She stood at the entrance of the temple and timidly looked at them.

She said, "I remember seeing you here last night, so I wanted to come and see if I would meet you again … … I washed the dress, so I'll leave it here. Yesterday and today, thank you very much. "

Xie Lian was just about to smile at her when he suddenly remembered what kind of appearance he had right now. He decided it was better not to say too much to scare people.

Unexpectedly, not only was Little Ying not scared by him, she even took a step forward and said, "You're … … If you like it, I can help you?"

"… …" Xie Lian said, "No, Miss, don't misunderstand. I don't have this kind of hobby."

Little Ying hurriedly said, "I know, I know. What I mean is, if you don't mind, I can help you. You guys … … you guys are going to catch the ghost bridegroom, right? "

Her voice and face suddenly rose as she said, "I, I know how to change clothes. I always carry a needle and thread with me, so if there's anything wrong, I can change it. I also know how to dress up. I'll help you!"

"… …"

After the time it took for two incense sticks to burn, Xie Lian once again walked out from the back of the temple with his head lowered.
