His gaze focused on my face. His fingertips slowly rubbed away the rouge,and a few colds and itches into my heart. I was in a daze. When I saw him,I actually felt that this scene was very familiar.
It seemed that a long time ago,there was such a man who painted my eyebrows and temples...
"Don't rub!" Ke Ye voice rang as soon as I raised my hand. I could only put it back.
Ke Ye took out another red rope from somewhere. He held it in his hand and tied it to my wrist. "The Withered of Thousand Ghosts is extremely dangerous and the situation is unpredictable. With this red rope,we can't leave."
I looked at the red line on my wrist and nodded." Yes,let's go." It was already noon outside,and it should be close to midnight in Sheol. It was the time to Marriage of The Dead.
A Withered of Thousand Ghosts mark was made on the floor with Ke Ye black dog's blood. Ke Ye cut a hole in his fingertip with a knife. As soon as a drop of blood came into contact with the mark,a faint blue flame appeared. However,the flame rose up in his breath,revealing the shape of a door.
The chilly wind assaulted my face. I raised my hand to block the wind. I couldn't help but narrow my eyes as I followed Ke Ye into the flames.
After a burst of dazzling white light,I finally felt my foot stepping on the ground. Waves of dark wind blew past. Looking at the withered yellow weeds on the ground,the sky above his head was covered in thick ink,without a trace of light. There seemed to be a city in the distance,a bit of light scattering out.
Ke Ye clutched his chest and coughed a few times. I walked over to support his arm.
His wounds should not have been healed so quickly,and his face was deathly pale. It looked like an old cigarette... As soon as I thought about it,I refuted myself. How could such a good Appearance like Ke Ye be such a vulgar person? He should be a sick and weak scholar with hidden diseases all year round.
"How is it?" I pressed my three fingers on his pulse and detected the disorder of his aura. I couldn't help but worry. Ke Ye coughed a few more times and took out a small porcelain bottle from his chest. He poured out a pill and took it.
Soon,a normal color appeared on his face. He took a deep breath and nodded at me. Then,he grabbed my wrist and continued to walk forward. It was difficult to walk in the dark wind,and the chill gradually deepened into the bone marrow.
Not far away,two Ghost Fire Lanterns were floating in mid-air. They were all written with blood-colored words "forbidden ",swaying in the wind like two sinister ghost eyes.
In front of me was an ancient chessboard door. I lightly wiped it with my hand,and there was a lot of dust on my palm. I subconsciously looked at the Ke Ye beside me. The latter pressed his thin lips and slowly pushed it away.
With a heavy and long creak,the door slowly opened,and the scene inside finally revealed itself.
The arrangement of the small buildings and houses was completely random. It was like a building block placed by a child at will. It was piled on both sides of the street askew,but at the sight of it,it was somewhat messy.
There were ghost-fire lanterns floating on the side of the road,lighting up and connecting into lines. The dark blue light spread until I couldn't see it. All I could see was a large expanse of bright red. I couldn't help but take a few steps forward. The doors of every household were hung with Crimson satin,and the words of joy were pasted on them.
"Could it be that the entire city is getting married today?" I exclaimed," I don't know if we' re late,but why are we so cold ……"
Before I could finish,Ke Ye pulled me into a narrow alley. There wasn't a trace of light here,but it was a good place to hide.
"Shh——" As soon as I opened my mouth,I was covered by Ke Ye hand. I desperately nodded my head as I stared at his bright eyes. Only then did he release his hand.
Not long after,the whining sound became clear,followed by a sharp and ear-piercing flute sound... I quickly covered my ears. If I continued listening,I would probably be shocked to the point of being deaf.
From a distance,a group of people came slowly to welcome the bride. At a rough glance,there were actually a few hundred people. All of them were red in red. Although their faces were red,they still looked very dull. Their eyes were lifeless as they played an ear-piercing tune indifferently.
The man in the lead was riding a tall horse. The white horse and his red wedding dress were breathtaking. I rubbed my eyes to see the groom's appearance,but I could n' t see it clearly. His face was dark.
The eight sedan-chairs slowly followed behind them while carrying the red sedan-chair. A few red-dressed women followed on both sides of the sedan-chair. Their faces were indifferent to the point that they did not show any emotion.
"It's too strange. Although this wedding is very lively,I only feel that it's sinister and terrifying." I lowered my head in a low voice and felt a chill run down my spine.
Ke Ye smiled coldly and continued to look outside. He whispered to me," I've seen a lot of Marriage of The Dead,but this is the first time that these people seem to have been manipulated."
"Then what should we do now?" "I think this Marriage of The Dead very strange. There might be some sort of trap inside." I frowned and panicked. This Marriage of The Dead seemed to be aimed at Ke Ye,but I always felt that it had something to do with me.
Ke Ye raised his hand and knocked a chestnut on my head." There's naturally a trap inside. "However,since I've come to this Withered of Thousand Ghosts,the curse has already been removed. It's fine if I don't go Marriage of The Dead. Just find an opportunity to escape."
I rubbed his forehead and suddenly felt something ambiguous. The alley was so narrow that the two of them could not stand side by side. However,I had just pushed forward a lot to see that Marriage of The Dead team. At this moment,Ke Ye and I were standing face to face,breathing in and out of my chest.
Fortunately,it wasn't bright in the alley. In order to avoid further embarrassment,I silently retreated. Coincidentally,the grandiose Marriage of The Dead team finally walked over,and the streets returned to their former cheerfulness.
I let out a long sigh of relief. I thought the matter had finally ended,but in the next instant,a faint blue light suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley,followed by a hoarse voice.
"Look what I've found. Two cats that are stealing."
The newcomer stood up against the light,his body bent,revealing a terrifying shadow on the wall. I couldn't see his appearance clearly. However,with the Ghost Fire Lantern in his hand,I could vaguely see a few points. A chill ran from the bottom of his foot to the root of his hair.
###Chapter8,I am the bride
I rubbed the back of my head,which was aching. I vaguely recalled who had knocked on my smother. At that time,my whole mind was focused on that strange old man,but I didn't notice anything behind me.
Looking at this antique bed,the bright red quilt of carp playing with water,and... I lowered my head and looked at the red wedding dress on my body. For a moment,my head buzzed.
I waved my hand to open the red gauze tent in front of me,and the dragon and phoenix candles on the table swayed faintly. The sound of the beeping when the candles were burning could be clearly heard in silent wedding room.
Where is Ke Ye? I immediately lowered my head to look at my wrist,but there was no red rope there. I furrowed my brows and pressed my hand against the door. I felt a dark fluctuation.
"There's a curse on this door..." My mind moved slightly. Then,I gathered my strength in my palm. Just as I was about to break the door,I suddenly heard footsteps. Then,the door was pulled open from outside. A gloomy Ghost Hag appeared in front of me. She said without even looking at me," The sedan chair is here. Please,bride!"
I was grabbed by her wrist and quickly walked out. There were candlesticks on both sides of the corridor. The flames flickered,and my shadow on the wall became even more sinister and terrifying.
Although I had lost my lifespan in the book of life and death,Bai Xiaoxi this body was real. That was why I had a shadow. At this moment,this body was a little cumbersome.
The Soul Chasing Lock followed my thoughts and slowly wrapped itself around my arm. Fortunately,the sleeves of this wedding dress were wide. I didn't know where this Ghost Hag would take me in a while,but no matter what,I could only make the worst of it.
There was a palanquin parked at the door. The eight palanquin drivers stood on either side of the palanquin expressionlessly. Behind the palanquin,there was a welcoming party that was dozens of miles away. It was the one that Ke Ye and I saw in that narrow alley.
The only difference was silence.
There was no longer the sound of beating around the bush in the wedding procession. Everyone stood straight like a corpse,an indescribable strange atmosphere.
"Let's get on the sedan." Ghost Hag Zi lifted the curtain of the sedan chair,and when he looked at me,a sinister cold light appeared in his eyes.
I stiffened and walked to the palanquin step by step. I suddenly felt a little funny. I never expected that the last person sitting on the palanquin would be me.
A little girl-like little brat slowly walked over and handed me the rice in his hand. I looked at the girl in a daze. When I regained my senses,I realized that I was carrying this bowl of rice. The chopsticks in my right hand were about to be delivered into my mouth.
When Ghost Hag saw that I had eaten the rice,he suddenly laughed sinisterly.
The palanquin stopped after a short while. I originally wanted to lift the red cover to check the situation,but I suddenly realized that I couldn't move at all. When I was anxious,I realized that I could n' t say a word.
It was the bowl of palanquin rice just now! Suddenly,that Ghost Hag son of mine hated him so much that his teeth started to itch. Right now,I was like a fish on a plate.
"Ke Ye,today is my wedding day. Why did you bring a knife here?" A voice could be heard from outside the palanquin and could be heard vaguely.
I couldn't help but feel shocked when I heard Ke Ye name,but my eyes were completely blocked by this cover. The person who spoke should be the new husband,but the person sitting in the sedan chair and wearing wedding clothes was me. Could it be that the person he married was me!
As soon as this thought appeared,I broke out in cold sweat. No,the bride on the invitation was clearly that woman called Ke Rong'er...
"Where did you hide Bai Xiaoxi?" Ke Ye cold voice sounded even colder at this moment. My palm could not help but break out in cold sweat nervously. He did not know that I was in this palanquin,nor did he know how the groom's sinister ghost was scheming.
"I thought your sister was the one who killed you,but I didn't expect it to be this woman... I didn't want to get to the point so quickly. Since you did n' t want to drink my wedding wine,I had no choice. "Let's wait until I enter the bridal chamber. My bride is still waiting for me in the sedan chair."
