Under the darkness, only a small candlelight from the village ancestral hall illuminated a small area.
In this area, there are a large number of paper figures besieging one person.
Du Yongyu, who was under siege, looked calm when facing these paper figures. He kept swinging the sword in his hand. Each sword killed just one paper figure, and the force used was just right, without wasting any more energy.
There were many paper figures, but they were of no use in front of Du Yongyu. After a while, they were all killed.
When the village chief, who was originally smiling sinisterly with his yellow teeth exposed, his face became froze.
Du Yongyu ignored the village chief's expression and stepped forward, intending to catch the village chief first.
But as he approached, he suddenly saw the village chief rolling his eyes, his body went limp, and he fell directly to the ground. A paper cut with the word "囍" fell from his body.
Faced with this sudden situation, Du Yongyu did not step forward rashly. He first observed, and after seeing that there was no problem, he patted the village chief on the face with his sword scabbard.
The village chief groaned and woke up.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Du Yongyu pointing the unsheathed sword at him. He was shocked and immediately knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
"Spare your life, grandpa, please spare your life. We just want to swindle a little money. The crime is not punishable by death. The crime is not punishable by death!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed violently on the ground.
Du Yongyu looked again and found that the village chief had become the same as before, greedy and timid.
"Do you know what happened just now?"
"Something? What's the matter? Didn't you tie me here?"
The village chief expressed complete ignorance.
Seeing this, Du Yongyu pointed to the ancestral hall behind him and asked:
"What do you worship in your village?"
"Bodhisattva, what's wrong?"
The village chief said with a puzzled look.
When Du Yongyu heard this, he couldn't help but look back.
I saw that there was a statue of Bodhisattva placed on the shrine in the ancestral hall, and the candlelight and other things were all normal.
Seeing this, Du Yongyu frowned slightly and asked again:
"Is there a married woman in Niangzi Mountain?"
"There are legends, but no one has ever seen it."
"Don't you usually worship her?"
"If you leave a good Bodhisattva alone and don't offer it to her, why do you offer it to her?"
The village chief was a little confused and felt that this person was speaking strangely.
Seeing that the village chief was indeed the village chief in the daytime, Du Yongyu no longer stayed here. He smashed the paper cut with the word "囍" into pieces with his sword and returned to the small courtyard where he lived.
As soon as he returned to the yard, he saw Ye Ming, Miss Shen and Old Taoist Jingzhou all there, all looking at him.
Seeing the looks in these guys' eyes, Du Yongyu's mouth twitched slightly.
"Do you all know what happened just now?"
Mu Zhi smiled playfully and said:
“We have been waiting for these guys to show their flaws for the past two days, but in the end they were tolerant and remained silent.
Unexpectedly, your appearance was just right this time, and they couldn't wait to take action. "
"Then why did they attack me?"
Du Yongyu was a little confused, pointed at Ye Ming and Ren Rui and said:
"They don't look bad either, why don't you go find them?"
Jing Zhou, who was automatically excluded from the ranks of handsome men, replied:
"Because you are special, Pindao has figured it out. You should be the destined wife of IKEA. It is normal for them to target you."
Du Yongyu, who was still somewhat convinced by this veteran, chose to look at Ye Ming after hearing this.
In comparison, I feel that Brother Shanyuan, who seems unreliable, is more reliable.
Ye Ming smiled and said:
"Brother Jingzhou is right. They value you and that's why they always want to take action against you."
After listening to Ye Ming's statement, Du Yongyu had a vague realization.
"Then what's going on in this village? Does it have anything to do with those things?"
He was still very curious about this matter and felt that there was something weird about the village chief.
"I'm afraid I have to ask the person in the mountains to get the answer."
Ren Rui smiled, pointed in the direction of Niangzi Mountain and said.
After several people communicated for a while, Miss Shen asked:
"Then what happens next?"
Ye Ming looked at the dark night sky and said:
"Of course I'll go back and have a good sleep, and go to Niangzi Mountain early tomorrow morning."
Having said that, go back to your room first.
Seeing this, everyone else also went back to their rooms to rest.
...
Deep in Niangzi Mountain, a place that ordinary people cannot reach, is brightly lit at this time.
At a glance, there are red lanterns hanging on the big trees in the mountains, and the cobblestone mountain roads are decorated with lights everywhere.
Various monsters with bodies like bull heads, tiger heads, sheep heads, and bird heads were busy hanging up various festive things.
A group of female ghosts who should have disheveled hair are now wearing exquisite hair accessories and wearing festive red clothes.
Some of the crying ghosts had thin threads passed through their cheeks to make them look like smiles, and their mouths were sewn into smiles, but there were still tears in their eyes, which looked quite strange.
A half-human, half-tree monster spreads its branches and hangs them with red blessing papers.
A monster with the head of a deer and a group of little monsters were carrying a pile of boxes with red ropes, which looked like dowries.
A group of male ghosts are practicing joy with suonas, gongs and drums.
An old servant who looked a little strange appeared, followed by a maid wearing a lotus flower on her head. After that, a group of banshees who forced themselves to smile stood quietly.
The old servant looked at the lotus maid and said:
"The wedding is about to begin. Is the new uncle still uncooperative?"
The lotus maid said:
"My new brother-in-law is timid. He just cries when he sees us. He doesn't want to change into wedding clothes or get on the horse to get married."
When the old servant heard this, he expressed that he would personally invite the new uncle.
The lotus maid and others followed the old servant, and the group came to a beautifully decorated cave.
There are many hollow stone chambers in the cave, and there is a man in each stone chamber.
These men are all handsome and young.
Many of them were still wearing the groom's official clothes. It can be judged that they were captured on the wedding day.
When many people saw the old servant coming forward, they backed away in fear and did not dare to look at him.
The old servant walked forward, under the guidance of the Lotus Maid, and came to a stone room.
The lotus maid pointed at the handsome man with a frightened face in the stone room and said:
"This is the new uncle No. 49. He doesn't want to marry the young lady."
When the old servant heard this, he looked at the man, showed an expression that he thought was very kind, and said to the man:
"Uncle, the auspicious time is coming soon, please put on your wedding clothes and go to pick up the bride."
When the man in the stone room heard this, he shook his head like a rattle:
"Grandpa monsters, please let me go. I don't want to get married, and I don't want to get married in this life!"
The man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Seeing this, the old servant shook his head slightly and called out softly:
"Alang."
A wolf demon with a wolf head and a human body, with only one eye intact, suddenly appeared and stood ready.
"Since my new brother-in-law doesn't want to get married, there is no use keeping it. I'll leave it to you to deal with it."
The old servant said casually and was about to leave.
Hearing this, the wolf demon's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he stretched out his tongue to lick his lips, and was about to step forward for a feast.
When the man saw this, he shouted in horror:
"Sure, get married, I'll get married!"
When the old servant heard this, he turned around and looked at the man:
"My new uncle, are you sure?"
"Yes, sure."
"Willingly?"
"Willingly...willingly."
"Okay, if the new uncle is willing, come and change the wedding clothes for the new uncle."
A female demon came forward and put the man into a wedding suit.
If nothing else, this wedding dress is really nice.
The only drawback is that it is extremely cold, and when you wear it, you will shiver from the cold.
The man was wearing wedding clothes, feeling cold in his bones and trembling all over.
But the old servant didn't care about this. Seeing that he had changed into his wedding clothes, he said again:
"Please my new uncle, mount your horse."
Then he saw a horse coming.
This horse is dressed in red and green, and it is very festive.
The only shortcoming is that this horse has no skin and flesh, it is just a skeleton. However, it has such a skeleton, but it behaves like an ordinary horse.
The man was supported by two banshees and mounted his horse cautiously.
Seeing the "new uncle" mount his horse, the old servant stepped forward, bowed and said:
"I will lead your horse myself."
As he said that, he really took the reins and led his "new uncle" out.
When the other men in the surrounding stone chambers saw this, they all looked horrified.
Some people breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that this person was taken away today means that everyone can live for a while longer.
The old servant led the horse all the way out of the cave and onto the cobblestone road outside.
There are already many demons and ghosts waiting here.
When those monsters and ghosts saw the man coming out and riding on his horse, they all bowed in salute and said:
"I've met my new uncle."
Seeing this, the man on the horse turned pale and frightened.
Seeing this, the old servant smiled and said:
"My new brother-in-law, don't be afraid. If you marry a young lady, you will be my master, and we will all listen to you."
Hearing this, the man saw that all the demons and ghosts were looking down upon him, and a ridiculous thought suddenly arose in his heart.
It seems that being the uncle of a bunch of monsters is not bad.
But the fear and cold didn't make him say anything, he just shivered from the cold.
The old servant led the horse forward, followed by the demons and ghosts, and a group of male ghosts began to play the suona and sheng.
It's nice to play a folk song to welcome a bride, but when you listen to it now, it's full of weirdness, and no one will really feel happy.
The man also sat uneasily on the horse and was forced to move forward.
Every five steps on both sides of the road, there is a paper figure standing there, a man on the left and a woman on the right. It looks extremely scary.
Not long after, amid the sound of suona, I saw a group of ghosts appearing in front of me carrying a perfectly decorated sedan chair.
Behind the sedan chair were a large number of banshees, all of whom were dressed extremely festively.
Seeing this, the old servant said to the man:
"My new uncle, the lady is in the sedan chair. Please dismount and invite the lady."
Hearing the words, the man didn't dare to disobey. He got off the horse and almost fell down. Fortunately, there was a banshee beside him who helped him, which made him land smoothly.
The man who stood on the ground and felt his calf muscles spinning, walked towards the sedan chair with difficulty under the gaze of all the monsters.
When I walked to the sedan chair, I saw the maid opening the curtain of the sedan chair.
The man looked over and saw a woman wearing a red wedding dress sitting in the sedan.
Although the woman is covered with a hijab, she can tell even through the hijab that she must be a beauty who will captivate a country.
The man had been extremely frightened before, but when he saw the bride, he suddenly felt his heart beating wildly and his blood rushing up.
If she is such a woman, then what's the harm in being a ghost uncle?
"Mr. Lang."
The woman in the sedan called softly.
This sound was ethereal, transparent, and tender, and the hearts of those who heard it trembled.
Just two words made people think that they must not let down this beauty in this life.
Seeing this, the man suddenly forgot his fear and only thought about getting married to this person.
The woman in the sedan slowly stretched out her hand, as if asking the groom to take her hand and get out of the sedan.
When the man saw this, his heart beat wildly, and he quickly reached out to hold the beauty's delicate hand.
As soon as their hands touched, the man suddenly let out a scream.
In just a moment, the person who was still alive just now turned into a mummy and fell straight to the ground.
When the woman in the sedan saw this, she sighed quietly, slowly took back her jade hand, and said with infinite sadness:
"Not my beloved, not my beloved..."
When the other monsters around him saw the man's fate, they were not surprised at all and looked very calm.
There were even many demons and ghosts with expressions like "Finally the trouble is over."
Only the old servant and the lotus maid sighed when they saw this, looking very sad.
The woman in the sedan sighed:
"Uncle Fu, how many times has this happened?"
The old servant replied:
"As far as I'm concerned, Miss, she is already the forty-ninth uncle."
"Is it already that much?"
The woman is extremely sad,
"Is it true that I can't get married alive, and I can't get married even if I die?"
The old servant said: "There are still more than a dozen preparatory uncles in the cave. I will choose an auspicious day later..."
"Uncle Fu is interested."
"By the way, miss, it seems that there are righteous people at the foot of the mountain who are plotting against us."
"It doesn't matter, it's a happy wedding, the more guests the better."
"Among those people, one has a special destiny and may have the potential to become an uncle."
"Do you have a special destiny? I've met several of them, but I don't know what to do with this one. You just have to figure it out. The monsters and ghosts on the mountain can be called upon as you wish."
"Yes, miss."
...
