A moment before midnight.
In the deserted street, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded.
The ethereal sound of music came from unknown sources and gradually resounded throughout the street.
The people who had been doing good things at home suddenly changed their expressions when they heard the sound of musical instruments and slammed their windows.
The cool breeze faintly carried their frightened voices:
"The river god has come to take a wife!"
"Hurry and close the window, be careful not to be seen and arrested by the wedding team!"
"The River God married a man this year. That young man was really unlucky. If he didn't drown, he would have died at the hands of the River God."
"The River God really doesn't care about men and women, as long as they are beautiful."
“The River God marries so many young and beautiful women every year, so he’s not afraid of kidney deficiency?”
"The River God is a god, how could he be imaginary..."
The people were hiding behind the windows, but they couldn't restrain their curiosity, so they pressed their faces against the windows and whispered.
In the entire street, there was only one window that was half open.
In Xiangtan Inn, Su Ruotang sat by the window and looked into the distance curiously.
"Ayan, follow the River God in a moment. Let's knock Mr. Zhu unconscious before we rescue him." He really couldn't bear the pressure from his friend.
Mo Rongyan tapped his fingertips on the table and hummed slightly, "Is there anything abnormal about Gu Butterfly?"
Su Ruotang nodded: "There are a large number of mildly hallucinogenic poisonous insects in the air. They do not have attack power and can make people fall into illusions."
Mo Rongyan narrowed his eyes: "So the rumor that the river god married a wife in Jingzhou is actually because someone used phantom Gu."
Su Ruotang teased the Gu butterfly in her sleeve with her fingertips, her eyes full of interest, "There is something about the phantom Gu that covers a city."
"Xiao Haitang, can you awaken the people without exposing the Gu butterflies?"
"When the Zi Shi begins, the people will fall into illusion. I still have a quarter of an hour to prepare, but the medicinal materials..." Su Ruotang frowned slightly.
The next moment, she waved her sleeve, and a large pile of medicinal materials suddenly appeared on the clean table.
She continued: "The medicinal materials are not enough, so we can only wake up the people around the inn."
"Okay." Mo Ronyan glanced at the empty street.
The streets were empty, no one in sight.
But the sound of musical instruments penetrated into my ears.
It seems to be playing from every street, it seems to be floating out from every house, and it seems to be flowing from the sky...
"The sound of this musical instrument has a hypnotic effect." Su Ruotang's clear peach blossom eyes were filled with coldness, and he began to prepare the antidote.
There are many phantom Gus, but the disadvantage is that their ability to induce hallucinations is weak.
For some people with a strong mind, it may not work.
But if it is paired with hypnotic music, even those with a strong mind will be taken into an illusion if they are caught off guard.
The time has come——
The sound of the instruments suddenly became louder.
At this time, the people who were doing good things against the windows fell to the ground one after another.
The sound of blowing and beating seemed to come from my ears.
The trees inside the house began to grow automatically when there was no wind.
The rustling sound, amidst the sound of the suona, seemed extremely strange.
The veils were flying, casting dark shadows on the walls.
Su Ruotang prepared the dried medicinal powder.
Facing the moonlight, she gently shook the small bottle and threw it towards Mo Ronyan, "Ayan, use your inner strength to punch it out. Spread the medicinal powder inside as far as you can."
Mo Rongyan raised his hand as he was told, and as his inner energy surged, the small bottle flew out of the window.
The medicinal powder inside was scattered around the inn.
At this moment, footsteps and laughter came from the empty corridor:
"Bride, open the door quickly, our river god is here to welcome you."
"It's time to welcome the bride. Is the bride ready?"
"Shh, don't scare the bride. Let's quietly open the door and see if the bride has put on her makeup..."
"According to custom, we have to give the bride a red envelope before she can open the door."
As these words fell, a piece of banknote floated through the crack of the door.
Su Ruotang stared at the note coldly, with a subtle smile on his lips.
Wonderful.
Notes for dead people floated to their rooms.
She stood up slowly, picked up the banknotes on the ground with her green-white fingertips, and smiled meaningfully, "Ayan, I suddenly remembered that Mr. Zhu seems to have no biological family."
"Why don't we go and be his mother's family?"
She would like to see which devil gets tired of living and gives her banknotes.
Mo Rong Yan Jingui stood up and straightened the wrinkles on his sleeves, "Send him to get married, this is good."
If anyone dared to covet him, he would marry him to the river god.
Perfect.
Wonderful!
"Creak..."
The sound of the door being pushed open sounded.
Mo Rongyan and Su Ruotang looked at each other, stood up and walked behind the door.
Through the crack in the door, people in dresses and masks with ghost faces can be vaguely seen, knocking and knocking.
Banknotes were flying in his hand and scattered all over the corridor.
The door of the room where Xing Nanye was located was opened.
A figure with a phoenix crown and Xia Pei was helped out of the room.
A group of people smiled and hugged Xing Nanye as they turned the corner of the stairs: "We have received the bride, go and worship her!"
Su Ruotang raised his eyebrows and indicated with his eyes——
Keep up?
Mo Ronyan nodded.
The two pushed open the door.
The next moment, Mo Ronyan's pupils shrank suddenly, he waved his sleeves and held his breath.
But it was too late, and I still inhaled a small amount of white powder.
Su Ruotang didn't seem to expect the white mist to suddenly appear, and took a big breath.
Her body swayed slightly and fell softly.
Almost at the same time, Mo Ronyan reached out and hooked her waist, rocking her and sliding down the door.
His long, thick eyelashes trembled.
In the blurred vision, the ghost-faced man who welcomed the bride came back.
"Hehe, these two look good too. Let's take them back together to the River God."
"Being a concubine..."
