Fifth floor.
Jiang Yao, who was wearing a blood-red embroidered skirt, saw the hungry ghost enshrined in the corridor along the way.
I have worked in a temple before and know a lot about this kind of ghost. The hungry ghost path in the six paths of reincarnation is one of the three evil paths. Hungry ghosts have "greed" in their nature. Over in Siam, there are sacrifices to feed hungry ghosts so that they can escape from the evil realm.
But the food provided by the Wang family on the fifth floor does not seem to mean this.
As soon as he arrived on the fifth floor, Jiang Yao smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. The corridor was not ventilated, and the only window was sealed and blocked. The entire corridor was dark, and thick darkness covered every corner.
There was no other smell except the smell of Chinese medicine. The smell was too strong. She covered her nose and the smell was still there.
Because there was a wedding banquet, no one on the whole floor was there, and it was silent.
Jiang Yao took out the old friend's lamp, the shark's lamp oil, from his backpack. This item is also durable. There is not much left of the shark's lamp, so he needs to buy the shark's lamp oil in the mall to fill it.
Mermaid oil is expensive and considered a rare item. Worried about the lights going out, she bought a refill in advance.
The golden-red oil light illuminated a small area, and Jiang Yao could barely see the general situation on the fifth floor.
Unlike the other floors, which all have eight rooms, there are only four rooms on the fifth floor. The corridors are covered with bright red carpets. Raw rice bowls for hungry ghosts are placed in the corners of the wall. More than a dozen hungry ghosts are crouching in the corners. Gnawing raw rice.
The already cramped corridor seemed even narrower with the addition of these hungry ghosts.
Weird laughter echoed in the corridor.
The doorframes of each room were covered with talismans. The dark yellow talismans were densely packed and the talismans were strange. They were not the type of talismans that Bai Mao had.
Jiang Yao's embroidered skirt would make the monsters mistake her for the same kind of person.
Her arrival did not attract the attention of the hungry ghosts, who were immersed in eating uncooked rice. Jiang Yao raised his feet to avoid them and walked directly towards the first door.
'When I returned the keys in the morning, I talked to the old man in charge. Even he didn't know where the bride on the fifth floor came from. '
From the newspaper read by the old man in charge, I learned that it was the Republic of China era. The wedding ceremony is complicated, and there are many taboos in Chinese-style weddings.
The room is spacious, with red lights shining. It is a ancestral hall. The shrines embedded in the wall are densely packed with tablets. The tablets do not have names written on them, but are carved with - Wang Hong's wife He Shi, Wang Yuanzhi Wife Lan, Wang...
All are wife tablets.
I glanced around, and there was not a single male tablet. There seems to be a memorial tablet for a woman who married into the royal family.
But how could so many brides die in one family? Why aren’t their husbands’ tablets here? Why don't they even deserve to have their names engraved on the tablets?
Jiang Yao had many questions in his heart, and the audience in the live broadcast room had even more questions.
[There are at least twenty or thirty tablets, right? Are they all wife tablets? 】
[How many brides have died in this family? No, have you noticed that this temple is very weird? Whose temple is covered with talismans? Who is this to protect against? 】
[The Wang family is holding a wedding banquet tonight, and I’m scared for the bride. 】
[They are getting married in the middle of the night and worshiping hungry ghosts. This family is so scary. 】
While she was lost in her thoughts, a tablet in the shrine suddenly shook and fell vertically to the ground.
Jiang Yao caught it in time and put it back into the shrine.
She seemed to feel something, and suddenly opened the red cloth on the altar table, bent down and got in.
She is wearing an embroidered skirt. If you see her, you will think she is the same kind. If you see her, you will notice it.
Not long after entering, the door was pushed open from outside.
Through the gaps in the hanging red cloth, Jiang Yao saw several people entering the room.
The densely packed talismans on the wall immediately sizzled, billowing black smoke, and countless grievances turned into substance and filled the huge room.
"spit."
The leading old woman took a sip, cursed a few words, and then began to recite an obscure incantation.
The talisman no longer burns.
The tablets placed in the shrine no longer vibrate.
Jiang Yao saw the old woman holding a tablet in her hand.
Being so close, she could even smell the smell of blood emanating from the tablet.
It is a newly carved tablet, with the name of Wang Shuan's wife, Lu, engraved on it.
I saw the old woman placing the tablet in the shrine.
After doing this, she led the people out of the room.
Jiang Yao waited under the table for a while.
Sure enough, the old woman went and turned back again, glancing around the room suspiciously.
"What's wrong?" the person next to her asked.
The old woman looked back and shook her head.
She just clearly smelled a smell that didn't belong here.
You should think more.
If someone comes in here, not to mention that the talismans posted all over the room will burn, and the hungry ghosts outside will not just sit idly by.
The footsteps of several people gradually faded away.
Jiang Yao, who was under the table, lifted up the red cloth and crawled out. The outline of his facial features was cast in deep and shallow shadows by the red light, and his dark pupils had a cold quality.
On the surface, Wang Jiaming was holding a happy event, but in reality it was a white event.
Before the wedding banquet was over, the bride's tablet was placed in the shrine.
Everything makes sense.
No wonder the wedding banquet is held in the middle of the night. If the bride is married on an auspicious day by the matchmaker and the zodiac, she will be punished by God if she dies on that day. And if it is held in the middle of the night, even if you die, this divine punishment will not fall on the Wang family.
[Damn, this family is so vicious. 】
[What will be the fate of the bride? Can't survive tonight? 】
[Why does the Wang family marry so many brides? Sacrifice? 】
[This is a bit like "Dragon Girl Village". In order to portray themselves as good people, evil people build temples and shrines for those they kill. All this is done to deceive oneself and others. 】
[Have you noticed? If the tablet hadn't fallen just now, the anchor would have been discovered! 】
[Crying, these girls died to help others. 】
Jiang Yao took a deep look at the tablet in the niche, silently said thank you, then turned and left.
She had to explore this floor before the validity period of the embroidered skirt expired.
The doors to the second and third rooms were locked.
Jiang Yao was about to buy a master key in the mall to open it, but he suddenly got a notification sound from the system one second before purchasing.
[Players must follow the dungeon to obtain clues and cannot unlock them in advance. ]
The meaning is concise. Jiang Yao must explore the main line step by step.
Just like playing a game, you can't reach the end point directly, you can only pass one level after another.
She could only explore the first room with the shrine tonight, while the other rooms would not be explored until tomorrow.
But the wedding banquet is only for one day, and she will not find such a good opportunity tomorrow.
I didn't encounter this kind of thing in the dungeon. I can only say that the thriller system started to target her. I knew I couldn't stop her, so I had to use this method.
Audiences in the live broadcast room said:
[No, you can’t afford it? 】
[Sister Yao, can’t you clear the customs in advance? 】
[How afraid are you of this broken system to explore more main lines from afar? 】
[Hahaha, family members, this is the first time I have encountered this situation. The system will persuade players to expel players who are exploring the main line. 】
[The anchor is really officially proven to be strong! 】
