When I heard what he said, it became even more strange. Eighteen years ago, when one of them was eight years old and the other was just born, how did they survive in this ghost sect? Moreover, how did they know the token of the master of the Shu sect?
This hairpin looks ordinary, and most people would not know its origin.
Then why can Jiang Qi recognize him at a glance?
So I asked Jiang Qi: "You came to the Ghost Sect just after you were born. Who taught you how to recognize the tokens of the master of the Shu Sect?"
Jiang Qi wiped her tears, raised her head and looked at me and said, "Some of these ghost sects are people from the sect. My brother and I were also raised by people from the sect, but our adoptive parents are no longer here." He is not a ghost, but has been reincarnated!"
"They told me all these things about the sect before, and also asked me to remember the token of the master of the sect. My dad said that if one day I see the token of the master of the sect, it will prove that the sect can still be saved, and we can still be saved!"
I looked at Jiang Qi's big watery eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment.
In fact, until now, I can't tell what is true and what is false.
Jiang Tao also raised his head and said to me: "Master, the Shumen can still be saved. As long as one person from the Jiang family is alive, the Shumen will not be destroyed. You said you are not the Jiang family, but you are the head of the family now. This is the responsibility of everyone." I have to admit it, but now we are all in the ghost gate, and there are some things we cannot control ourselves, even the ghost king wants to marry a wife, we can't escape!"
"Tonight's wedding, the Ghost King will definitely send someone there. Otherwise, let's just let Jiang Qi marry us. Master, please don't go!"
When Jiang Qi heard what Jiang Tao said, her eyes widened: "Brother, you didn't let me get married before. Why are you letting me go now? I'm not a ghost. If I have a chance, I can leave here. Why?" Are you still going to take a trip into this muddy water?”
"Jiang Qi, what do you think we should do now? Is it possible to let the master of our sect go?" Jiang Tao looked at his sister helplessly. I knew he was reluctant, but he couldn't ask me to do it.
Actually, I don't care. It's just a formality anyway. Who would really marry a ghost?
Besides, I also hope to get to know this ghost king. I want to know if the red figure that day was him.
I straightened my wedding clothes and stood up directly and said: "The Ghost King is getting married. I'm going to go. I don't think he will do anything to me, the master of the magic sect. Besides, I am a wandering spirit now. I have my own way to escape. You guys Don’t think too much, since I’ve come to the ghost gate, I have no reason to retreat!”
Jiang Tao and Jiang Qi stopped kneeling, and stood up with support. Jiang Qi looked at me with some embarrassment: "Master, I'm sorry, I originally thought that being able to marry the ghost king would be better than living here without humans or ghosts all my life. At least I can have a good pregnancy in my next life, but now I really don’t want to get married..."
"It's okay. I have something to talk to the Ghost King anyway, and it would be better to resolve some matters face to face!" I said faintly, "Sooner or later, we have to take this step to the ghost gate!"
After I finished speaking, I lifted my feet and walked out.
Several people were already standing outside, all craning their necks, waiting for me to appear.
I was wearing a bright red wedding dress, an ancient-style hairdo, ancient-style makeup, and the hairpin that represented my identity in my hair, and I walked toward them step by step.
Those people didn't dare to look at me. They just lowered their heads and made a gesture of invitation, beckoning me to go outside.
When I was about to walk out of the makeup store, the makeup artist suddenly walked up to me and whispered in my ear: "With your appearance, you will definitely be able to conquer the King of Ghosts. If you have a chance, you can talk to the King of Ghosts and see if he can." Taking in a new wife every year, our ghost house only gets lively once every eighteen years, it’s so deserted!”
I turned my head slightly and looked at her: "Is it because the ghost king has more wives that you have business here?"
It's hard not to think so.
Otherwise, why would she say this for no reason?
However, she smiled mysteriously. It was okay if she didn't smile. When she smiled, the powder on her face felt like it was about to fall off, which scared me so much.
But he still listened to her patiently: "Because on the day the ghost king marries his wife, the gates of hell will be opened wide, and only those of us will have the opportunity to go out and get some fresh air!"
I didn't expect the reason to be like this. I couldn't help but think of when I was burning paper to my ancestors by the river on my birthday. When the 'ghost mother' was still talking to me, the male ghost with him said that the gate of ghosts was about to close. .
At that time, I thought that the gate of hell was something I had heard about before, the gate of ghost in the underworld. But now when the makeup artist said that the gate of ghost was wide open, he was referring to the gate of ghost among the eight gates.
I don't know if there is any connection between this ghost gate and the ghost gate in the underworld, but they are definitely not the same place.
I didn't have time to analyze the situation, so I said to the makeup artist: "If you want to go to hell, go and fight for it yourself. I married the Ghost King today because I have something I want to fight for. Human nature is always selfish. I have no obligation to live for others! I won’t say anything for you, the Ghost King has his own judgment, and everyone is a sensible person, do you understand what I mean?”
If it weren't for the beautiful makeup she put on me, I wouldn't want to tell her this.
Whether the ghost gate can be opened or not and whether they can go out for a breather has nothing to do with me. Besides, Jiangcheng has been so harmed now, can I still let the ghost gate people go out for a breather?
The makeup artist turned around and walked away, leaving me with a stubborn back.
Jiang Tao and Jiang Qi followed from behind. They didn't say anything, they just looked at me eagerly. Their eyes looked like they would never see each other again after saying goodbye.
I forced a smile at them both: "When the Ghost King marries a wife, the gates of hell will be wide open. This may be an opportunity for you. If you can, leave as soon as possible. I have my own things to do and I don't have time to care about you. If there is a chance, let’s meet at the sect!”
After I finished speaking, I didn't give them a chance to say anything more and went straight to the sedan chair parked outside the store.
The eldest girl got on the sedan chair for the first time. Until I got on the sedan chair, I didn’t realize why I got on the sedan chair so willingly.
As soon as the suona sounded, my heart tightened.
I'm not sure what the scene will be like and whether I can hold it in control.
What should I do if the ghost king decides to take care of things first without saying a word?
Although I have made various predictions before, people are like this. Sometimes no matter how many plans I think of, they are often not used when taking action, because the only constant in this world is change.
I just counted roughly, there were more than 20 people carrying the sedan chair, and there were a few girls following them. It looked like a young lady from a wealthy family in ancient times was getting married.
I was in a trance, and my upper and lower eyelids were fighting. I took out the silver needle I carried with me and gave myself two injections, trying my best to stay awake.
But the coolness coming from my back made me feel chilly in my heart.
I secretly thought about Bai Zimo, hoping that he could sense my presence.
At the same time, some detailed pictures also appeared in my mind, as if the scene where I was sitting in the sedan chair had happened a long time ago.
Just like usual, when something happens at a certain moment, there is always a feeling that the exact same situation has happened before.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly. I thought I had only lived for eighteen years, so how could I possibly live in a sedan chair?
The sedan chair was bumpy all the way, and I was thinking wildly.
I don’t know where I am now. Apart from the sound of the suona, there is no other sound outside.
Logically speaking, everyone should be celebrating such a big event as the ghost king marrying his wife. After all, it is possible to open the ghost gate on such a day, but it is so unusual to be so quiet outside.
I lifted the curtain of the sedan and took a look outside, but I saw no one on the road. Moreover, our current location was no longer a city scenery, but rather as if we were at the foot of a mountain.
The bearers did not stop, but carried me up the mountain.
When they were all out of breath from exhaustion, the sedan finally stopped.
A girl opened the sedan curtain for me and said: "The bride can get off the sedan. The Ghost King has been waiting in the mansion for a long time. Now the auspicious time has come. Please follow me into the mansion!"
I poked my head out of the sedan chair and took a look at the situation outside. What appeared in front of me turned out to be an ancient mansion.
I was helped out of the sedan chair by the girl. I stood in front of the mansion and looked up. The words "City Lord's Mansion" were clearly written on the front door.
I didn't expect that there would be such a place these days. It shocked me even more than the scenes I saw in the Jiang family before.
No wonder the makeup artist wanted to dress me up like this just now. Now it seems that this is the only dress that suits the occasion.
I don’t know what era this city lord’s mansion is, and why it appears in an unfinished building.
If these are all illusions, then the person who can support so many illusions appearing at the same time must be too powerful.
But it makes me believe that all of this is true, even more unlikely.
Seeing that I was still in a daze, the girl said to me again: "The bride can follow me into the house!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a cool breeze came from behind me, and the sound of the suona that was blowing all the way stopped. So I couldn't help but look back, and found that those people and the sedan chair had disappeared.
I got goosebumps all over my body.
"In what era was the Ghost King the city lord? Was it so simple for him to marry a wife? There wasn't even a greeter or a banquet?" I had no intention of following her in, but stood there and asked.
She originally raised her feet to go up the steps, but when she saw that I was not moving, she had to stop, looked back at me and said, "I don't know these things either. The Ghost King only said that I would come and greet you. As for the rest, I can't answer the bride." !”
I saw that she was pretty and she didn't look like the kind of person who would lie, so I sighed: "This doesn't feel like marrying a wife. Seriously, it seems that concubinage in ancient times was more grand than this! It seems like The Ghost King’s wife is nothing more than this!”
She could only smile at me apologetically and said: "What the bride said is true, but the Ghost King has his own considerations. Let's talk about it after entering the palace!"
I didn’t stay any longer. I came here and there was always a chance to meet.
So he strode towards the city lord's mansion.
I was led directly to the lobby inside.
I originally thought that even if there were no guests in the hall, at least the Ghost King should be there. However, when I entered, I saw nothing. It was empty and there was no one.
This is really embarrassing.
The Ghost King doesn't know what he's up to. Is it so careless to marry a wife?
Shouldn't he just say that he would be sent to the bridal chamber?
I looked around, and there was nothing unusual except that I felt like I was living in ancient times.
The house is clean and tidy, with happy words posted everywhere. The atmosphere is there, but it feels too deserted.
Just as he was about to ask what to do next, he heard someone's footsteps, and then a voice came: "Alian, you are finally back!"
