After everyone finished eating and put down their chopsticks, Jiang Liang stepped in, holding a white lantern in his hand.
Qi Xuelu immediately got into Nan Jiahao's arms with wide eyes, "Why are you holding a white lantern? It's too unlucky to do it at night, right?"
Zheng Siqiao also quickly moved his stool to the side, far away from Jiang Liang, for fear that he would touch her.
Zhou Yecheng sat still, his eyes following Jiang Liang.
"We only use white lanterns at night." Jiang Liang glanced at Qi Xuelu with a smile. The light of the lantern came up from below and shone on his face that had not changed for thousands of years. Everyone's hair stood up, especially Qi Xuelu's. He was so frightened that he lost his voice.
"The time for sacrifice is coming. It's time for you to go upstairs. Miss Lou, are you ready?"
He turned around stiffly, sluggishly as if he was rusty, and the pale light illuminated his false smile from below. When he saw Lou Jinhuan, he grinned at the corners of his mouth, revealing the white teeth inside. She didn't know if it was an illusion or something else, but Lou Jinhuan always felt that his lips were redder.
She stood up, "What preparations do I need to make?"
Jiang Liang looked her up and down, and when he saw that she was wearing trousers and a shirt, he couldn't help but frown, "You're dressed too inappropriately."
Lou Jinhuan raised his eyebrows, "What's the problem? In order to match you, I wore black and white."
The others took a look after hearing this, and it was true that even the shoes were pure white, with no other colors at all, and the whole person was extremely pure.
If it is a sacrifice, there is nothing wrong with wearing it like this.
"You're not deliberately looking for trouble, are you? Why don't you wear these?" Du Lin frowned and stared at Jiang Liang critically, one hand already touching his trouser pocket.
Jiang Liang looked at Lou Jinhuan silently for a while, then laughed again and said slowly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what you wear, the sacrifice is the most important."
He turned to look at the other people at the table, and the expression on his face disappeared instantly, as if the fake smile mask had suddenly been taken off, making people tremble again.
"Now, it's time for you to go upstairs."
"Come on, come on. As for the repeated emphasis?" Qi Xuelu swallowed his saliva and held Nan Jiahao's arm tightly without letting go. Nan Jiahao also let her hold it. He himself was too frightened.
Zheng Siqiao stood up immediately, glanced at Jinhuan upstairs, struggled a little, but finally went upstairs without saying a word.
Zhou Yecheng followed closely behind. He had always been so withdrawn, rarely spoke, and was gloomy. This reaction was normal, and no one asked much.
Seeing them all going up, Qi Xuelu quickly pulled Nan Jiahao upstairs.
Du Lin stood up last. He looked at Lou Jinhuan, who nodded at him, "Go back."
"If anything happens, just call me." Du Lin asked again worriedly, and Huo Wushang snorted angrily, "Do you still need me? A cowardly Taoist priest."
[I can’t finish this jealousy. 】
[Can’t finish it, can’t finish it at all, Huo Wushang brand thousand-year-old vinegar, not the most sour, only more sour, don’t miss it when you pass by. 】
[Thank you for the invitation, I can smell it through the screen, it’s so sour! 】
Jiang Liang turned to look at Du Lin and said quietly: "You'd better not go out at night."
Du Lin rolled his eyes, "Oh."
Then he turned around and left.
Jiang Liang: "..."
His attitude was as if he had just farted.
Lou Jin laughed happily, and Jiang Liang's hatred immediately transferred to her.
"Now, it's time for you to go out." He said sinisterly and grinned at Lou Jinhuan, trying to scare her. However, Lou Jinhuan just looked at him expressionlessly and even yawned.
Jiang Liang felt insulted.
He took the lead and walked out carrying a white lantern. His footsteps were so heavy that they echoed faintly in the yard.
Suddenly a group of boys came in from outside. Everyone in the front was holding a white paper lantern in their hands, and those in the back were carrying tables, incense burners, and futons. In less than a quarter of an hour, everything was set up outside the lobby.
There is a tablet enshrined on the incense table, various offerings are placed in front of the tablet, and an incense burner is placed in front of the tablet.
White lanterns were lined up on both sides of the incense table, illuminating the floor tiles at Lou Jinhuan's feet.
There was an old futon in front of her. Jiang Liang glanced at her and said, "You should kneel down now."
[Do you want to kneel down Loulou? She is the empress, how can she kneel to such a wild ghost of unknown origin? 】
[She dares to kneel down, but the wild ghost dares to endure it? Emperors are all blessed with great luck. Ordinary lonely ghosts can’t bear it. Be careful, your soul will fly away~]
[It’s easy for you to understand. Where can I see these? I didn't even know there was such a thing. 】
[Back to the previous point, read a few more books and you will know all the nonsense. 】
001 is also very curious, [Host, do you really want to kneel down? 】
Lou Jinhuan sat down cross-legged without saying a word.
【kneel? Is he worthy? 】
001 gave a thumbs up, [Great job! 】
Huo Wushang smiled as he watched from the side. He was indeed the person he liked, with a strong character.
Jiang Liang was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed, and he asked sternly: "What are you doing? I'll make you kneel down!"
"Why?" Lou Jinhuan asked calmly and rationally: "Firstly, I am not their descendant, and secondly, I don't owe them anything. You asked me to find the phoenix crown. If you say you find it, it will be mine. It's not between me and them." Yes, shouldn’t you be the one to kneel down?”
"Why should I kneel?" Jiang Liangqi's face twitched, "You have to kneel after you take the phoenix crown, otherwise you won't be able to take it away."
"Oh, then I don't want it anymore." Lou Jinhuan gave up decisively.
"you--"
Jiang Liang did not expect that she would not be able to get in. He knelt down angrily and stared at her, his eyes slightly red, looking quite scary, "You want it when you say you want it, and you don't want it when you say no. Who do you think we are? Since you So reluctant, why did you agree to come over at night?"
Lou Jinhuan spread his hands and said, "Let's see what you want to do."
Jiang Liang was so angry that he couldn't speak and just stared at her fiercely.
Lou Jinhuan raised an eyebrow, "How about this? Let's each take a step back. Either I sit here and watch the night, or I leave. What do you think?"
not so good! But he couldn't refuse.
Jiang Liang was silent for a while, his fists clenching loudly. Lou Jinhuan once thought that he was going to come up and beat her, but he finally stood up and said, "Well, you can just sit down, but if I provoke If my ancestors are unhappy, it will be none of my business if we are unlucky at that time.”
"Then wait until they are unhappy."
After Lou Jinhuan finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
Jiang Liang snorted, turned around, picked up the incense on the incense table, lit it, bowed three times to the memorial tablet, then inserted the three incense sticks into the incense burner, muttering something unknown.
Lou Jinhuan didn't hear clearly and didn't care. She felt that there was someone else beside her, and Huo Wushang sat down next to her.
"Don't worry, I'm here. I want to see what these lonely ghosts are planning."
