Under the illumination of red and white lanterns, a group of people stare directly at you, with numb expressions on their faces, without any unnecessary emotions. The scene is as terrifying as it is terrifying.
The four of them, Shen Lin, almost forced themselves to be led by the old man through the crowd, and came to a table. They saw the old man stopped, led by Shen Lin to sit down, and several people sat down around the table.
The moment he sat down, Shen Lin seemed to hear the frolic of the wedding. The guests around him were in a lively atmosphere. They were all drinking and chatting happily, with constant cheers and laughter. The strange and numb atmosphere had changed, but under the bright lights around him, Okay, this scene is weird no matter how you look at it.
Soon, Shen Lin's table was filled with people. A middle-aged man wearing a white felt hat, who looked rough and honest, the old housekeeper sat here like a black man, and a tall man with a shaved crew head. Hit young people.
After Heizi sat down at the table, he started to pull the chicken legs. It looked like he had been tempted for a long time. As soon as he started, he was slapped by his grandfather.
The old man no longer had the serious appearance just now, and he was smiling.
"Grandpa, why are you beating me? Uncle Yan is getting married and everyone is happy. Besides, if you don't eat this dish, it will be cold." Heizi pouted, feeling uncomfortable that the meat could not be eaten in front of him.
The old man glared at him, then cupped his hands in all directions.
"Don't be surprised. Country children have never seen much of the world. As the Yan family is a big family in our area, we have never seen such a scene, so everyone made a fuss."
Several people held their hands and said it was okay, and Shen Lin and others followed suit.
"As the oldest one here, the old man took the liberty of taking the lead. Come, come, let's all eat."
The old man happily stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. The fat oil flowed down his mouth and stained his beard, making it greasy and weird.
Seeing the old man stretching out his chopsticks, Heizi quickly grabbed the chicken legs.
Shen Lin and others also extended their chopsticks in the same manner, but they only took the vegetables and put them in their bowls, not daring to eat them.
Everything in the ghost realm was transformed by evil ghosts. Shen Lin could never forget everything he encountered in the ghost realm in Corpse Swamp. The weather and rain there were part of the evil ghosts. Being stained with mud would trigger the law.
Who knows what will happen if you eat wedding banquet dishes.
"Old man, you said that the Yan family is a high-ranking family in your area. I guess it must have some reputation. Can you tell me about it." After Shen Lin finished speaking, he did not forget to toast a glass of wine. Under the happy expression of the old man, Added a glass to the old man.
"I'm not afraid of your ridicule. I haven't accomplished much at home. I went to Peking this time with the intention of meeting people with lofty ideals and starting a career. The Yan family sounds great, and I want to pay a visit too."
Heizi hesitated with his mouth stuffed with chicken legs and didn't know what to say. The old man patted his head again to keep him honest.
The old man drank a glass of wine with a smile and chattered.
"How the Yan family got rich, we really don't know. He came to our village later. Later he took root in our Dongwang Village and I worked as a concierge, so I know more or less about it."
"There are three brothers in the Yan family, namely, Lisheng, Liming, and Liben."
"Each one seems to have his or her own profession. The eldest brother, Yan Lishen, is the head of the family and is prosperous in the business world around us. The second child, Yan Liming, is mysterious and doesn't know what he does specifically. The third child, Yan Liben, is He is a sick man who has been in poor health since his early years. It is said that he has problems in that area and has no mother-in-law in his forties. This time, he suddenly announced that the third child was going to get married and entertain the whole village."
The groom's name was Yan Liben. Shen Lin's eyes flashed slightly. Unfortunately, he was in the ghost realm and could not contact the outside world. Otherwise, he might be able to find out more information by looking up this name.
A character who can form a ghostly marriage with a ghost bride must be extraordinary. Shen Lin is very curious about what is so special about this person that the unresurrected ghost bride can do this for him after death.
Especially since this matter was related to the late Republic of China, Shen Lin was even more concerned.
In the 36th year of the Republic of China, on July 15th, at midnight, it still had to be like this. Why on earth?
Shen Lin subconsciously glanced in Ji He's direction. Ji He was the first person he saw reincarnated from the dead.
If a person who has been successfully resurrected by a ghost can be transformed into a living person again, then he has reason to suspect that there must be some special method to bring the dead back to life during the Republic of China.
The ghost deception once successfully resurrected Yang Jian, whose consciousness could only be hung by a music box.
At the end of the Republic of China, it was very possible that the unresuscitated ghost bride used some kind of supernatural object or ghost to trap the consciousness of the groom Yan Liben, and then tried to achieve the purpose of resurrecting him through ghost marriage, and this possibility is very high.
Scanning the strange scenes around him, Shen Lin quickly formed the whole story of that year in his mind.
Obviously, the ghost bride failed that year. The failure of the ghost wedding ceremony directly led to the resurrection of her own evil ghost. The entire Dongwang Village was covered by the ghost domain and became a ghost village. The three special nodes of the festival and the Winter Clothes Festival appear.
Wait, that's not right, Shen Lin frowned slightly.
If the three special nodes of Qingming Festival, Hungry Ghost Festival, and Winter Clothes Festival, or items related to wedding vacations are the key to triggering the ghosts, then how can we explain the ghost bride who suddenly appeared on the bus before.
Is it that there is a key to touching the ghost nearby, or is it the special nature of the ghost bus itself, which can shuttle and guide it regardless of the characteristics of the ghost.
A flash of inspiration in his mind made Shen Lin think of everything he encountered in Fengmen Village.
There, he met the extremely terrifying Half Corpse. In his speculation, Half Corpse was an extremely powerful boss during the Republic of China, but a ghost resurrected due to unknown reasons.
On the eve of the resurrection of the evil ghost, the half of the corpse that has not yet recovered uses extremely sophisticated methods to form a strange balance of evil ghosts through the ghost funeral, the evil ghost after its own resurrection, and everything in Fengmen Village.
Through this balance of ghosts, Half Corpse transformed Fengmen Village into a ghost village and sealed away a large number of ghosts, including the ghost master who made Shen Lin's scalp numb just thinking about it.
If you follow this logic, the underworld wedding ceremony itself is most likely to be a ghost, or a part of a ghost.
Shen Lin glanced at the scene of joy and laughter again and felt his scalp numb again.
If he guessed correctly, Dongwang Village fell into a strange balance of ghosts, which may have something to do with the ghost bride back then. This balance of ghosts was different from what Shen Lin had seen before. There were big flaws in this balance, which led to three Special nodes and some special items can affect Dongwang Village.
In order to resurrect the groom Yan Liben, or for other purposes, the ghost bride gathered a large number of ghosts and wanted to conduct an extremely terrifying experiment or ritual, of which ghost marriage was the core part.
But the ceremony failed, and the ghosts in Dongwang Village fell into an inexplicable puzzle connection because of the ghost bride's ritual-based arrangements. After the ghost bride failed and the ghosts revived, the ghosts in the entire village lost their suppression and recovered completely. The entire Dongwang Village became a An extremely scary ghost village.
If the entire Dongwang Village is a puzzle composed of many ghosts, then there must be a leader in these puzzles, and that core ghost is their key this time.
Shen Lin's face darkened.
If the guess is correct, then the core is most likely the ghost bride wearing a hijab, and their troubles are bigger than imagined.
I'm going to eat. I'll work on the remaining two chapters when I come back tonight. Bye.
