Xiao Ling frowned frequently while watching the following plot. In the whole story, the most pitiful and innocent ones were the village girl and the brides who were later sent into the mountains to be sacrificed.
This scholar and the woman's father, the village chief, are both pitiful and hateful.
"Although this scholar is pitiful, he turned into an evil ghost. Why didn't he take revenge on the young master's family, but instead harmed so many innocent women? Also, since the marriage tree is a spiritual creature, why did it only trap this evil ghost in the mountain? But you didn’t stop him from sucking the woman’s soul?”
The scenes that followed were all about the bride-to-be team led by the village chief, sending innocent village women into the mountains and forests one by one. Xiao Ling didn't want to watch it anymore.
"Ha~ Because no matter how spiritual the marriage tree is, it is just a tree without a brain."
Hearing these words, Xiao Ling looked at Han Yuan in surprise.
He knew clearly that the evil ghost and the village chief who saw off his bride were even more hateful, so why did he only curse the marriage tree?
"Perhaps this tree was just an ordinary tree at first, but because it had no leaves and was covered with red ropes, it was regarded as a marriage tree. Many people came to make wishes, and over time, it became spiritual.
Although spiritual objects are formed, spiritual consciousness is difficult to open. This tree probably only knows how to make a pair of two people tied with a marriage thread, and knows nothing else. "
To put it simply, you just know how to pimp? Xiao Ling added silently in his heart.
"Then... is it because the woman broke the thread of marriage, so the two of them didn't have a happy ending? It doesn't seem right..."
Seeing his confused look, Han Yuan thought it was cute, so he broke through the illusion and picked up the red thread on the ground. As for the talisman, it was crushed by his disgusting kick.
"The marriage tree has a spirit, and the marriage thread naturally also has a spirit. It is easy to tie it, but it is very difficult to untie it..." Han Yuan smiled and took Xiao Ling's hand, seeming to be studying how to tie the red rope. Which finger should I tie it to?
Xiao Ling let him hold his hand, knowing that Han Yuan would never harm him, so she did not pull her hand back.
"Hmm... So, although the woman has untied the red thread on her finger, the marriage thread has not actually been untied, so the marriage tree still wants to make them a couple, right?"
Xiao Ling gradually understood, but she didn't quite understand: "But didn't that woman turn into a ghost and die together with the young master, and her soul disappeared?"
Having said this, he suddenly looked at the sedan chair next to him and suddenly realized: "I remembered that this sedan chair and the bridal outfit looked very familiar. It was exactly the outfit that girl A Yuan wore when she got married! Maybe it was her Something was left attached to it, so the marriage tree regarded all the brides who entered the mountain as her."
"Aling is so smart~" Han Yuan praised him without hesitation. He traced the red thread in his hand for a long time but failed to tie it in the end.
"That woman was also infatuated. Her obsession was so deep that she left a trace of her soul attached to the sedan chair and her new clothes. So the tree has no brain, and neither does the scholar. He doesn't know that his sweetheart is dead. He eats the ghosts of innocent women again and again, and finds out again and again that he is not the one, and he will never give up."
He is indeed brainless. He is obviously a spiritual creature, but he has become an accomplice to the evil spirits.
"But haven't you already eliminated the evil ghost? Logically speaking, that marriage should finally be over. What's the situation now?"
Xiao Ling looked around, then pulled Han Yuan to follow the route in the illusion and walk in the direction of the Marriage Tree.
"Originally, it was settled, but it wasn't because of a nosy Xuanmen woman. The pure Yin blood containing spiritual energy spread the remaining resentment of the mountain ghost to the entire mountain, and also stimulated the old tree to go crazy. , Nowadays, anyone who enters the mountain will be regarded as the scholar and forced to lead others."
Han Yuan sounded depressed and did not dare to tell Xiao Ling that he fell into an illusion for the first time and met Bai Qingyin. Not only did the Xuanmen woman cause trouble, but she also wore a red hijab and was regarded as a "ghost bride" by the marriage tree, who wanted to match them up.
Fortunately, this illusion had little impact on him, and he broke it. When he came out, he saw Xiao Ling walking into the sedan chair, so he simply followed him into the illusion again.
"Xuanmen woman? Where is she now?"
Xiao Ling was concerned about the safety of the heroine Bai Qingyin, but Han Yuan thought that he had discovered some clues, and was afraid that he would misunderstand that she was a carefree man, so he directly explained everything in one go.
"...That's it. I have no idea about her at all. I broke the illusion and threw her back. She should still be trapped in it now."
Xiao Ling: "..."
Good guy, before co-writing, the system frantically reminded the heroine that she was in danger. You really have a share of "credit" for this!
Xiao Ling helplessly held her forehead: "Is there any danger to her being trapped in the illusion?"
"Don't worry, although I hate Xuanmen, I won't kill people casually. There is no danger in the illusion. It's just that if it can't be broken, it will continue to cycle and trap people inside. But didn't you say you encountered a Xuanmen before? Men, they just happen to be a couple, and if they pull the thread together, the illusion can be solved."
Hearing what Han Yuan said, Xiao Ling also breathed a sigh of relief.
Therefore, there is no danger in the illusion itself. I am afraid that the "danger" Bai Qingyin encounters all comes from the man beside him.
"So, the Marriage Tree will now pull all the people in the mountain into the fantasy world to match up. Bai... That Xuanmen woman has a bridal hijab on her body, and I sat in a sedan chair, so I was brought into the perspective of a mountain village girl , while others have a scholar’s perspective.”
"Well, once the old tree goes crazy, this matter will be completely over."
Han Yuan nodded, but Xiao Ling suddenly remembered what he had forgotten just now.
"By the way, the bridal clothes and hair crown I changed into before are on Zhuo Feng, so he and Yu Zhu will also be pulled into the illusion, right?"
Han Yuan was slightly startled: "The two of them are here too? Hmm... It should be fine. Illusions don't have such a great impact on ghosts as other people. If it really doesn't work, they can come out as a couple and pull a string. ”
Han Yuan made it as simple as planting two carrots into a hole, and did not consider whether the two parties involved were willing or not.
Xiao Ling nodded, but felt that the final result would not be what they thought.
Because it seems... Zhuo Feng is chasing the Xuanmen Master.
While they were talking, the two of them had already turned out of the forest. Not far away, the marriage tree swayed in the wind, and the two figures, two ghosts and four figures under the tree were clearly visible.
Xiao Ling: "..." This marriage tree is really a good pimp.
Han Yuan: "...?"
Who can tell him why his two capable men were tied up with Xuanmen people?
