It seems that Jiang Tao came prepared. Most of what he told me before were false, but the fact that his sister is going to marry the Ghost King is true.
That's why he had to find a way to find someone to replace his sister.
But what I'm more puzzled about is, why would he target me?
I never publicized my birthday before, so how did he know that I was born on Ghost Festival?
And I am just a wandering spirit now, how can they catch me?
Could it be said that they are not human?
But no matter how I look at them, I don't think they are any different from ordinary people.
So he said to Jiang Tao: "Jiang Tao, are you too naive? Doesn't the majestic ghost king know who he wants to marry, and can he change it at your request? I can understand your desire to save your sister. I originally You just want to help, but if you treat me like this, aren't you afraid that I will retaliate in the future?"
"Retaliation?" Jiang Tao laughed loudly: "You are just a wandering ghost now, how can you take revenge on me? When you marry the Ghost King, you will never think of it in this life. How can you take revenge on me?"
I couldn't stand up while being held by those people, but I still raised my head and looked at him, snorting coldly: "Just because you want to detain me, haven't you heard that I am poisonous?"
I said, looking at the two pairs of hands holding my shoulders.
When they heard what I said, they became nervous and immediately looked at their hands, but they didn't seem to feel anything.
My heart sank. Could it be that the poison in my body no longer hurts others?
Jiang Tao was a little worried at first, but when he found that they had no signs of poisoning, he waved his hand and said: "Take her to put on makeup. She has to be sent to the Ghost King tonight, don't waste time!"
The few people responded and were about to leave with me. Jiang Tao said again: "Be careful. She is just a wandering spirit now. The poison on her body cannot hurt anyone, but we cannot take it lightly. Antidote medicines are always ready to treat her." Be careful, I’m going to find Jiang Qi!”
It seems that Jiang Tao knows a lot, and he has been prepared for me for a long time.
It's just that he just watched those people take Jiang Qi away, and now he has to find her by himself. He doesn't know what he thinks.
I don't have the time to pay attention to the clues in between. Anyway, the purpose of my coming here is to see the Ghost King. As for the method to do so, it's the same anyway.
Although Jiang Tao tricked me, it was not a bad thing. At least I successfully entered the ghost gate's territory.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t know where to find the Ghost King on my own.
I was taken into a makeup store by those people. There was only one makeup artist in the store, and the makeup on her face looked like a dead person. She didn't look like a normal person.
I couldn't help but frown. Even if they were ghosts, they were still living people. Why would they wear such makeup to see people? How can there be business in this?
But they didn't let me think too much, they just pushed me down on the chair, and the makeup artist started pouring on my face.
I didn't struggle, just closed my eyes and let her do it.
I was just secretly thinking about what I should say and do when I got in front of the Ghost King.
I have to smooth out these lines in my mind, so as not to have a black eye again.
To be honest, I am the master of the Shu Sect, and I should not be afraid in front of the master of the Ghost Sect. After all, these sects were all related to each other back then.
But with the passage of time, many things have changed.
Besides, I, the master of the martial arts sect, have no other abilities except for a hairpin. I don’t know if the ghost king will buy it.
But things have come to this point, and I can't help but back down.
Bai Zimo is also looking for the Ghost King anyway. With his ability, it is not difficult to find the Ghost Gate.
I silently counted countless possibilities in my mind, and probably had some countermeasures.
It wasn't until the makeup artist stopped that I slowly opened my eyes, but I was shocked by what I saw in the mirror.
In the mirror, I have my hair in a traditional style and makeup in a traditional style. I look elegant and fresh, which is completely different from me before, when I was bare-faced.
If it weren't for the similar facial contours, I wouldn't have believed that the person in the mirror was me.
I couldn't help but admire this makeup artist. She made herself look like a dead person, but she transformed me into a fairy and descended to earth.
I thought I would end up with a pale, dead face!
I was so heartless that I was still admiring my beauty, not caring that I would soon be given to the Ghost King as his Nth wife.
When the makeup artist asked me to change clothes, I suddenly woke up, looked at her and asked, "What clothes should I change into?"
"Of course it's a bridal outfit. Do you want to dress like this to get on the sedan chair?" She looked at me with squinted eyes and shook her head dissatisfied.
Humph, her expression really deserves a beating.
The thick powder did not suppress the displeasure on her face.
I shrugged nonchalantly: "If you want to change, hurry up. The one I want to marry is the Ghost King, so don't waste time!"
"Hey, you are quite impatient. Marrying a wife for the Ghost King is not as simple as you think. After tonight, you will disappear from this world. While you can still see the world, see more of it. Let’s raise a good tire in the next life!”
The makeup artist said, motioning to those people to let me go, and she wanted to take me to change clothes.
I followed the makeup artist into the room obediently, and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Why does the ghost king marry so many wives? Didn't any of you ghost people ever resist?"
"Resist? Who dares to resist the orders of the Ghost King?" The makeup artist said: "Besides, we are born as ghosts and die as ghosts. The Ghost King is in charge of our life and death. He only wants to marry more wives. What's the big deal?"
"Then why does he want to marry someone born on the Ghost Festival, and why does he marry someone every eighteen years?" I asked in confusion.
The makeup artist ignored me and just took out a bright red wedding dress and handed it to me: "Try it on! If it doesn't fit, it's still too late to change it now!"
I didn't have the thought to change my wedding clothes, and I wasn't really getting married. I just took the clothes and said, "You go out, I can wear it myself!"
The makeup artist didn't say much, turned around and went out.
I silently took this red wedding dress and felt very uncomfortable. I didn't expect that the first time I put on a wedding dress would be like this.
The last time I wore a wedding dress, I wore it when I was in a coma to marry Bai Zimo. The dress was made by Bai Zimo from snake slough.
But I didn’t know the whole process of putting on the wedding dress, and I didn’t have any thoughts.
But now that I'm wearing it for real, it's quite uncomfortable.
But only by doing this can we get close contact with the Ghost King, understand the truth of the matter, and find out who snatched my soul out.
Only by getting close to the Ghost King can I have a chance to quickly find Bai Zimo and let him take me back to my body.
I don't want to be a wandering ghost all my life, living in this ghost gate.
I put on my wedding dress in no time, looked in the mirror, and looked like a classical beauty. I couldn't help but smile and said to myself: "I didn't expect that I am not ugly after putting on makeup!"
"Not only is she not ugly, she is simply like a fairy descending from the earth!"
The sudden sound startled me. When I looked back, I found Jiang Qi standing at the door, staring at me closely.
"Are you Jiang Tao's sister Jiang Qi?" I turned sideways and asked her.
She smiled at me, nodded and said, "Yes, my brother said you are willing to marry the Ghost King on my behalf?"
I do?
How should I respond to what she said?
In fact, I haven't thought about what I and Jiang Tao are going to do here.
But I never thought that I was going to marry the Ghost King on her behalf!
"I want to say that your brother forced me, what will you do?" I grinned at her and said helplessly.
She walked towards me slowly, stopped just one step away from me, blinked and said, "My brother can do it, he is so inhumane!"
My heart skipped a beat, why didn't Jiang Qi look too happy?
When she was followed by those people just now, she was obviously unhappy. Now that she knows that she can be free and no longer has to marry the Ghost King, why is she not happy?
"What do you mean? Aren't you happy that your brother won't let you marry the Ghost King?" I looked at her puzzled and asked the doubts in my heart.
"In the ghost sect, who doesn't want to marry the ghost king? But there are conditions for marrying the ghost king. You must have heard of those conditions. I was originally qualified. This year has been exactly eighteen years since the last time the ghost king married. When When I was full of joy and thought that I could become the ghost king's woman, my brother told me that he would not agree. He has sent people to follow me these days and will not let me go anywhere. He also said that he will definitely find someone to come. Take my place!"
"I don't understand. As a member of the ghost sect, what's wrong with marrying the ghost king? Why does he have to interfere with me? And he wants to force you to marry. It's so inhumane!"
This Jiang Qi is also a straight person. In front of strangers, he said that his brother is inhumane. It is natural to say so. It seems that he is usually very dissatisfied with his brother.
I don't know much about this ghost king yet, so I can't guess what Jiang Tao is thinking. Is he really afraid that his sister will be bullied by marrying the ghost king, or does he want to use me to get something?
I looked at Jiang Qi and saw that her cheeks were red with anger, so I whispered to her: "You are all from the ghost sect. You should understand the ghost king. He marries a new wife every eighteen years, so is he now?" An old man?"
Jiang Qi's face turned even redder. She looked at me and said with a hint of resentment, "What are you talking about? The Ghost King is not an old man. He has an ageless face and is the most beautiful man in our ghost sect!"
Ageless appearance? The most handsome man?
Isn't that just like Bai Zimo and others, they are an alien species?
"No wonder you want to marry him. Could it be that you are attracted by his good looks?" I looked at her with a hint of teasing and said.
Jiang Qi shook his head: "That's not all. It's just that people from the ghost sect have no freedom. The scene you see now is nothing more than a performance. Everyone is suffering in their hearts. If possible, who would want to be like this? The devil is alive!"
"Will marrying the Ghost King make any difference?" I asked quickly.
She was a little confused and looked up at me: "At least for eighteen years, I don't have to think about how to live. After eighteen years, I will be reincarnated. Please don't go back to the ghost gate! After all, I have followed the ghost king for eighteen years. Please Such a grace should still be possible!"
It turns out that this is the case, so the makeup artist just said that after tonight I will disappear from this world, and then wished me a good pregnancy in my next life.
I don’t know much about the situation in the underworld now, so I can’t understand her current mood. A girl who is as beautiful as a flower actually married a person who has no feelings in order to avoid becoming a underworld person in eighteen years. .
And she also said that many people thought about this kind of thing, but the conditions were not met. She finally met the conditions, but her brother wanted to stop it.
I saw that she was very lonely, so I said to her: "Can't all the people from the ghost sect stay away from this place?"
