Xu Qing waved his hand, and that ghost, oh no, it was Aunt Lin, was carried away. She kept shouting "Give me back my life."
Chen Zhe relaxed and said, "It turns out that Aunt Lin was pretending to be a ghost last night and scared us so badly."
Xu Zhixi raised her eyes and saw the two young ladies of the Xu family walking behind her. Mrs. Xu's face was not very good, "I'm sorry to disturb you, but Taoist priest Xu has to come with us. Mother asked me to pick up Taoist priest Xu to dress up." "
Xu Zhixi was stunned, "Didn't it start at night?... It's not too late this afternoon."
"We have this rule here. We were supposed to dress the bride in the early morning, but something happened - Daochang Xu is now the bride."
Xu Zhixi swallowed her saliva and looked at Wang Li and the others for help, while Wu Biao and the others showed unbearable expressions.
But Wang Li and Gu Zi still had unconcerned expressions.
Still can't escape.
Xu Zhixi twitched her lips and followed the two young ladies. It was quiet all the way.
Thinking of what just happened, Xu Zhixi asked about Aunt Lin, but Mrs. Xu didn't say anything.
Mrs. Xu's eyes became vicious, "That bitch! He can seduce people even when he's crazy!"
"Huh?" Xu Zhixi was slightly surprised.
Doctor Xu realized that he had made a mistake, and smiled stiffly, "Don't take it to heart, Daoist Xu, because I am talking nonsense. She is just a lunatic, and she loves to play tricks."
Xu Zhixi knew that nothing would come out of the question, so she casually blurred the topic. They led Xu Zhixi to the room where the surrogate bride died tragically last night. The room had been cleaned up and the blood on the floor had been wiped clean.
Xu Zhixi didn't expect that they would take her here to dress up.
A bride died tragically here last night, maybe even killed by an evil spirit. Now, they are bringing another bride here.
Is it because you don’t think you’ve died enough?
The room was hung with red silk hanging from the beams.
I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Xu Zhixi always felt that the air was still filled with the smell of blood.
Several maids filed in carrying clothes and jewelry, placed them on the dressing table, and then retreated to both sides.
Two more maids came forward to apply makeup on her eyebrows.
In the last step, the silver tiara belonging to the bride is brought up. It is exquisitely made and carved with silver wire. The tiara is also decorated with lustrous east beads and a long curtain of fine silver beads.
Very beautiful.
"Why not gold jewelry?"
It's not like the Xu family doesn't have that kind of money.
Mrs. Xu smiled brightly and said, "Taoist Priest is joking, how can you use gold jewelry for such a thing?"
Yes, silver wards off evil spirits, and silver jewelry is generally used in ghost marriages.
"I'm just kidding. I think this tiara is really beautiful. It would be even more beautiful if it were gold."
"It's natural. It's just a pity that my brother-in-law... that's all, I won't talk about it anymore."
Xu Zhixi's eyelashes trembled, and her intuition told her that there was a lot in it, so she took the initiative to ask: "Can you two ladies tell me what kind of person my future husband was during his lifetime?"
The two ladies looked at each other for a long time, and then Mrs. Xu sighed and said: "That's all, after tonight, Taoist Xu is also a member of our Xu family, and more importantly, his wife. Let us tell you."
"When our brother-in-law was alive, he had an excellent personality, was gentle and courteous, and had extraordinary intelligence. After studying abroad, he was well-read and knew everything about China and foreign countries, both ancient and modern. He was unparalleled."
"It's a pity that because of God's jealousy of Yingcai, he was temporarily confused, smoked marijuana and became addicted to drugs."
"After getting addicted to drugs, he went crazy and killed many maids and servants. Many maids in the house were killed tragically at that time. At first, we thought it was ghosts causing trouble. My husband and eldest brother saw him murder with their own eyes, and the truth came to light."
"In order to prevent him from making the same mistake again and again, my husband ordered someone to lock him in the room. Who knew that he couldn't resist the drug addiction and committed suicide by hanging himself from the rafter. After one night, early the next morning, a servant went to deliver food. My body is getting cold.”
"Suicide? You said he committed suicide?"
Mrs. Xu Er continued: "Yes, my mother-in-law was heartbroken at that time, so she asked the Taoist priest to try to keep the soul. Who would have thought that he would actually become a powerful ghost and harm many people. At that time, the house was full of people. Many maids and servants died tragically, and their blood was drained one by one. Thanks to Taoist Master Fang and his powerful magic, they were finally suppressed."
"Did they all die the same way as the bride?"
"No way! It's exactly the same. It's scary to think about it. We have to get the ceremony done quickly, otherwise more people will die."
"Then why didn't Taoist Fang just get rid of the ghosts?"
Mrs. Xu sneered, her eyes full of disdain, "My brother-in-law is my mother-in-law's most beloved son, how could I let him go? This method of underworld marriage to suppress him was also proposed by Taoist Fang before. However, Taoist Fang He died suddenly and suddenly, so I invited all the Taoist priests to come over."
"Death suddenly? Director Fang died suddenly?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that someone as powerful as Taoist Fang would encounter unexpected events. Those ghosts are so scary!"
Xu Zhixi silently wrote down this information, and then looked at herself in the mirror. Bright red lipstick was applied to her light lips, her eyebrows were delicate, and her cheeks were also smeared with light rouge, giving them some color.
Her face is like Shunhua, and her color is like peaches and plums.
"Daozhang Xu is really beautiful. She looks like a fairy concubine dressed up like this. Looking at it this way, she really matches the third brother when she was alive."
Xu Zhixi twitched the corners of her lips and had no intention of responding.
She cannot bear the blessing of being matched with a fierce ghost.
But... according to what they said, can a person's personality really change so much?
Not only did he smoke marijuana, he also suddenly became violent and brutally killed people.
…
Complicated wedding dresses were put on Xu Zhixi layer by layer until she was sitting on the stool. Mrs. Xu put the crown on her combed bun, and the silver beaded curtain covered her sight. There was no relief.
The door was opened, and an old and hoarse female voice shouted: "Help the bride get into the sedan chair."
Xu Zhixi was stunned and stood up with her hands on the dressing table, "So early?"
Madam Xu covered her lips and said with a smile: "It's getting late, and the bride has to go for a walk in the mountains."
"Walking in the mountains?"
"Yes, this is our family's custom. It was delayed this morning, but we have to make up for it. The sedan chair has to go around the mountains before it can be carried back. The sun has to set when the sedan chair comes back."
No, do ghost marriages have to be so particular?
Xu Zhixi was speechless.
But she could only curse in her heart, pretending to be calm and calm.
…
The mountains and forests are silent, and the sound of gongs and drums can be heard loudly. A group of people carried the sedan along the path. Xu Zhixi sat in the sedan. The sedan was extremely unstable and swaying. She held the heavy crown with both hands, and the silver beads on her forehead hit each other and made a crisp sound. .
"Can you lift it more steadily?"
No one outside responded, but the sedan did become more stable.
Only then did Xu Zhixi take out a folded piece of paper from her sleeve. This was a small note that Gu Zi took the opportunity to slip into her before leaving under the pretext of casting a spell.
There is also a silver needle wrapped in the paper.
The silver needle is slender.
"Xu Xuan should be the evil ghost on the mission. Your only chance of survival is to kill him. This silver needle is an A-level weapon, just pierce it into his heart."
She twisted the silver needle between her fingertips. It looked plain and simple, but it should be what they called a system weapon, just like Wang Li's sword.
A level should be quite powerful.
"Do you trust me so much?"
Xu Zhixi herself didn't believe that she could kill Li Gui.
After all, with her small body, it would be strange not to be eaten by ghosts.
Even if a ghost eats her, she will be dissatisfied with the lack of meat.
However, this is indeed a chance for her to save her life.
But...when Gu Zi handed this over just now, Wang Li and others were not present.
According to Wang Li's prejudice against Xu Zhixi, it should be impossible to save Xu Zhixi and even give her an A-level weapon.
In other words, it was all Gu's own idea.
The gentle and handsome face appeared in Xu Zhixi's mind, with a pair of dark eyes flickering under his silver-framed glasses. It seemed that every time he smiled, the smile did not reach his eyes.
Play pig eat tiger?
No matter, he gave himself a glimmer of hope anyway.
If only, she could live.
She would definitely return the favor to him.
