"It turns out that all the distinguished guests are gathered here. The wedding is about to begin. Madam invites the guests to come and watch the ceremony together."
The housekeeper appeared in the room out of nowhere, startling everyone and making their hearts jump into their throats.
"Okay, let's go now."
Bai Qianwu politely replied that there was no point in delaying it now. We still needed clues to know how to leave. Since we had come, we were in peace. They didn't seem to mean harming anyone for the time being.
When everyone heard Bai Qianwu agreed, they all looked at her angrily.
How could she agree so casually? What if it was a trap? She agreed by herself, and she even brought all of them with her, but they didn't agree!
Because the butler was here, others did not dare to refute that they did not want to attend the ceremony. According to the butler's previous words, they came to this place just to attend the wedding.
Bai Qianwu didn't care how they looked at her, she followed the housekeeper and went out.
This courtyard is weird. If you don't follow the housekeeper, you might get lost in it.
The other people looked at each other, and for a moment they couldn't decide whether to follow them to watch the ceremony. Liu Hongxu had already followed them stupidly.
Cheng Yu looked at the back of the housekeeper who was gradually retreating, knowing that there might be no other clues here. If he wanted to get other clues, he would have to look elsewhere.
"Let's go and see how we can get clues without getting together with those ghosts. Don't forget, the ghosts will become stronger in the later stages. We'd better find the clues and leave here as soon as possible."
What Cheng Yu said was indeed reasonable. The remaining eight people did not refute him and nodded to express their understanding.
People in the room trotted to keep up with the housekeeper. When they arrived in the front hall, they discovered that they were the only people who came to watch the ceremony, and none of the bride and groom's relatives came.
Sitting in the hall is the lady of the mansion, the mother of the protagonist of this wedding.
A gust of wind blew up the red silk in the hall, sad music suddenly exploded, and the suona played a song of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix.
Zhao Mi was sweating, and when the cold wind blew, she shivered with cold, and obvious goosebumps could be seen on her arms and cheeks.
"Why are the weddings held in the middle of the night? Aren't weddings held at noon and at night? And the atmosphere here is so weird!"
Bai Qianwu quietly observed the surroundings, looking for possible clues.
"Ghost marriages, only ghost marriages can be held in the middle of the night. Ghost marriages can be done between Zi Shi and Yin Shi, but not after this time."
Hearing the word "underworld marriage", the people standing with Bai Qianwu widened their eyes. They had only heard of underworld marriage but never seen it. They didn't expect to meet it in the other world.
This world is a place where ghosts are rampant. Ghost marriage is one of the classic Chinese horrors. There are marriages between the dead and the dead, and there are also marriages between the dead and the living. The consequences of ghost marriages for living people will not be good.
Zhao Kai thought about the note he found, which said that the victim had been found. Could the victim be the living bride of the couple?
"Hey, let's cooperate with each other and rescue the bride later. She should be the victim mentioned in the note."
Cheng Yu grabbed Zhao Kai, who was about to make a move, and spoke in a low voice.
"Don't act rashly. We are not sure yet that she is the victim. Maybe she died voluntarily. Besides, even if we stop tonight's wedding, what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? We haven't found any clues about the exit yet. If she falls, In the hands of these ghosts, our fate will be to be eaten.”
Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Zhao Mi nodded repeatedly. She felt that what Cheng Yu said made sense, and she should not act rashly until she was absolutely sure. What if she made a mistake and offended the ghosts.
"I think Cheng Yu is right. It's only our first day here. I don't think it should be that easy. This may be a misleading clue. If it were so simple, the mortality rate in the world wouldn't be so high."
Zhao Kai glared sharply at Cheng Yu who was causing trouble, then turned around and continued to persuade others to join him in saving the bride.
"You must think clearly. The ghost bride will be sacrificed tonight. Maybe the bride knows the clues to the exit. If you miss this opportunity, you will not be able to save the bride."
Tian Cuihua felt that both Zhao Kai and Cheng Yu were right. Although she was not very smart, both of them had their own truths. She remained neutral.
Others gradually began to take sides, and now it was time to choose a team. Zhao Kai was the radical and Cheng Yu was the conservative.
The outcome was four to three, with Bai Qianwu, Liu Hongxu, and Tian Cuihua abstaining, four on Zhao Kai's side, three on Cheng Yu's side, and Zhao Mi chose to follow Cheng Yu as a conservative.
Those who choose Zhao Kai will go with them to rob the bride tonight. They all want to get out of this ghost place as soon as possible. When the ghost becomes more powerful in the next few days, they may not be able to survive until the seventh day to leave.
"Now that you have made your choice, if we find clues to get out, don't ask us. We paid for the clues with our lives, and we will not share them with you people who get something for nothing."
Cheng Yu made a "please" gesture, and then took a few steps to the side, fearing that he would be implicated.
The person who chose Cheng Yu also followed Cheng Yu and moved to the side. Tian Cuihua regretted her move of abstaining just now and moved from Bai Qianwu to Zhao Kai.
"Why don't I give up and follow you?"
Tian Cuihua regretted it. She had just heard Zhao Kai say that he would not share clues. She originally thought that she could use his shamelessness to get his clues, but now it seems that only people in his team can know the clues.
"The auspicious time has come, please invite the bride and groom to pay their respects!"
The butler's voice came from the front hall, and the young master was pushed out in a wheelchair. His eyes were closed and his face was pale. His head was still tilted to one side. Corpse spots had begun to appear on his exposed neck and hands.
"Let me go, help! Help, come and help me, I don't want a ghost marriage, I don't want it~"
The girl's cry for help came from far away, but before she even got close to the front hall, her mouth was blocked by a handkerchief, and she could only make a helpless whine.
Her head was covered with a red hijab, but her body was tightly bound by a hemp rope. The two women beside her held her on the left and right and led her to the front hall.
The lady sat on the high hall and watched this scene with satisfaction, waiting for the butler to call for worship.
The bride was escorted to the front hall. Even though her body was bound by hemp rope, her reluctance could be felt. Her body was twisted into a twist and refused to cooperate with the mother-in-law's twisting.
"Worship heaven and earth."
The two women held her down, and one of them kicked her in the knees, forcing her to kneel down and kowtow.
"Two bows to Gaotang."
The two women continued to do the same thing.
"Husband and wife bow to each other."
The hijab on the bride's head accidentally slipped off, revealing her unwilling and resentful eyes staring at the lady in the hall.
"Send it to the bridal chamber."
