Daily life under the hands of mad critics

Chapter 159 160 Disciple
Su He was about to go out to have a look, but Zhou Xuanming was already standing in front of the door, his tall figure reflected on the window: "Master, there is movement outside, do you want to take a look?"

Tu'er thought of something with her.

Su He opened the door and looked at the boy: "Go and have a look."

When the two came to the yard, not only Zhou Xuanming came out, Xiao Jingyi and Qi Yuan also came out after hearing the movement.

"Master, did you hear that too? Is anyone getting married outside? It's so late at night, I haven't heard of anyone getting married at night." Mo Changsi was surprised.

Xiao Jingyi remained expressionless: "It's really strange."

The shopkeeper has already fallen asleep, only the sad and strange sound of suona can be heard in the night.

Su and the others climbed over the wall and went out. The long street of the small town outside looked extraordinarily cold under the moonlight, and the faint full moon hung in the sky.

Some white paper with a square hole in the middle of the circle floated in.

Is it paper money?
Su He looked down and realized that there were also a lot of paper money left on the street under his feet.

Glancing at the few people behind him, Su He said, "Let's go!"

Several people followed the sound.

I saw three bridal sedan chairs running vertically in front, and each of them was carried forward by four people. There were four people standing in two vertical rows in front of them, holding the suona gong and beating it. The long suona sound was also coming from here. of.

Marriage in the world is very particular, and there is no such thing as carrying a sedan chair to send off the bride in the middle of the night.

Obviously it's not a normal marriage, the first thing Su He thinks of is a ghost marriage.

Even in the Upper Realm, this kind of thing is occasionally heard. After the death of some people's sons, in order to have a marriage relationship in the underworld, they find some women with a suitable background to greet them at night.

Could it be that they are getting married?

Several people followed behind, and saw the team walking farther and farther. After leaving Huangshi Town, they divided into three parts and walked into three mountains in three directions.

Xiao Jingyi looked at these sedan chairs and suggested, "Master, why don't we split up and find out."

Su He also wanted to find out what was going on, and of course he would not disagree.

Zhou Xuanming looked sideways at Su He: "Master and I will go to the left as a team."

Xiao Jingyi: "Qi Yuan and I will go to the right."

Mo Changsi and Jing Yu saw that everyone had made arrangements: "Then I will go to the center with Jing Yu."

Quickly arrange the groups, and the three of them each keep up with the three bridal sedan chairs.

Zhou Xuanming and Su He followed to the left, walked a long distance, and watched the big red sedan chair not far away being carried up the winding mountain road. The town is also gradually disappearing.

There was moonlight in the town, and there was still some light in the dark sky. The path going deep into the mountain was blocked by the surrounding vegetation and trees, and it suddenly became much darker.

Su He's five senses are not as strong as those of a monk, and his eyebrows are slightly frowned, distinguishing the steep mountain road in front of him.

The young man beside him seemed to have sensed it, and quietly stretched out his hand to hold Su He's hand. Su He instinctively wanted to pull it out. I don't know if it was an illusion. "

After pulling it out for a while, it seemed too deliberate to move again. In addition, Su He was a little reluctant to the road conditions. After being pulled by the young man, walking was indeed much more at ease, and he did not resist any more.

Zhou Xuanming felt the tenderness of the palm of his hand, and the indescribable satisfaction in his heart.The master's palms are very soft, and the fingers are slightly calloused by swordsmen for many years, but this does not affect the beauty of these hands, but makes people feel a hidden sense of strength.

There was a faint smile on his lips.

Su He stared at the sedan chair in front of him and walked forward. This sedan chair just kept going up the mountain, and there was nothing special about it in the middle, except for some paper money falling behind him from time to time, it seemed that it was just a ghost marriage in the mortal world. .

Seeing the serious look of the people beside him, Zhou Xuanming smiled slightly under the moonlight, and said in a low voice: "Master, what do you think they are doing?"

Su He glanced at the young man beside him, and shook his head slightly: "I don't know, just keep watching."

Walking to the top of Kuaishan, I saw a ruined temple in front of me. On this dark mountain, faint candles flickered inside the temple.

Those sedan chair bearers seemed to have been prepared, and carried the sedan chair into the temple and put it down.

The eight people knelt down and bowed in three directions in the temple with a plop, muttering in their mouths: "My lord, this is the new bride this year, please protect me, my lord!"

After speaking, he got up and hurried down the mountain along the original road.

Su He, who was hiding behind a tree outside the ruined temple and observing everything, wanted to grab someone to ask what was going on, but was suddenly pulled by the second apprentice, and his body staggered backwards, crashing into Zhou Xuanming's arms.

Su He was embarrassed for a while, but the people behind him didn't seem to pay attention to such details, and looked at the temple seriously: "Master, there is a faint evil spirit in this temple."

Su He stopped immediately when he heard the words, forgot what he was doing now, but looked into the temple in surprise, feeling carefully and indeed found a faint devilish energy.

She was stunned, has she become so dull in her perception of devil energy after becoming a meditation practitioner?Unexpectedly, I didn't find it, and I almost scared the snake.

Before I had time to think about it, there was movement in the temple.

Just after those sedan chair bearers left, a mass of black foggy things that were not in the shape of a human appeared and floated towards the sedan chair.

It's obviously an unformed magic cultivator.

I didn't expect to see Moxiu hidden under the mountain in the world.

Judging from what those people said before they left, it should be that this demon cultivator pretended to be some temple god, and asking these people to send women up was probably a means of obtaining food.But what about the other two mountains?

In an instant, the magic fog in the temple had rushed towards the sedan chair, and Su He glanced over.

Zhou Xuanming quickly appeared, and with a sword wrapped in spiritual power, he pushed back the magic fog that was approaching the sedan chair.

Su He followed closely into the temple. The magic mist was not a big monster. He didn't expect to meet a monk with a high level of cultivation in the human world, and immediately wanted to escape.

Where Zhou Xuanming would give him a chance to escape, he picked up his long sword and blocked him.

Seeing this, Su He lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and saw a young woman in the sedan chair wearing a wedding gown, her hands and feet tied up with cloth strips and her mouth was strangled, leaning against the sedan chair with tears all over her face, sobbing silently.

The moment she saw someone, the woman burst into tears even more, suddenly became agitated, made a whining sound in her throat, and struggled.

There was a crisp sound of clattering during the struggle, and it was only then that Su He noticed that there was an iron chain on the wall of the sedan chair, which tied the woman's feet.

Su He quickly broke the iron chains on the woman's feet with the evil spirit of death and untied the woman, and the woman cried out.

"What's the matter with you?"

The woman cried for a while, panting: "I... I am from Huangshi Town. Half a year ago, several people died in our town. Their deaths were extremely tragic. Later, a temple god appeared. The people who were born during the lunar eclipse offered sacrifices, and the town could return to peace. The people in the town were frightened by the daily death, and the first woman was born to be sacrificed. After the sacrifice, there were no more dead people in the town. Then the temple god asked us to send three women up the mountain to make offerings every month, and I... was one of the people who were tied up to offer sacrifices this time."
