Chapter 1048: The Ghost Bride, Eliminate All Evil! (Please Subscribe!)

PS: I am asking for monthly tickets. I still need 357 monthly tickets. I have to rely on my brothers. Thank you so much. I bow down to you.

The reason why Hua Shier said that this bride was not simple was because he had already thought of the plot. The Jiang family got married, and six people died in a row, and they were made into wax corpses. This was the plot of a movie he had seen in the real world called "Zombie Era".

The bride was the sister of a notorious bandit, and was married into the Jiang family by her brother in order to join forces with outsiders to seize the Jiang family's treasures.

In addition to the bride, the previous housekeeper of the Jiang family was also her brother's man. This was why her brother married his sister even though he knew that the bride of the Jiang family would be killed that night.

Because her brother planned to deal with the master of the Jiang family that night, so the bride would naturally be safe.

But in the original plot, by chance, the people sent by her brother were killed by flying zombies halfway. Fortunately, the bride was lucky, and the groom was bitten to death by a poisonous snake released by the housekeeper, so he saved his life.

Later, the woman was afraid of the Jiang family and fell in love with Lei, so she decided to betray her brother and elope with Lei, which led to the subsequent plot.

Hua Shier said that she was not simple. Half of the reason was because of her identity as an undercover agent in the Jiang family. As for the other half, it was that under his Erlang Shen eyes, he saw something different about this woman.

When everyone heard Hua Shier say that the woman was not simple, they all looked at the bride.

Fengyu Leidian were all young boys who had never seen a beautiful woman. Just now, the situation was urgent and they did not pay attention to the bride. Now, when they saw the bride's delicate and beautiful face, they were all attracted by her. The eldest brother Lei said:
"Mr. Hua, I think you have misunderstood. It's obvious that this young lady doesn't have any martial arts skills. How could she be so extraordinary?"

Hua Twelve shook his head and said to the cheap brother: "Brother, tell them!"

Detective Xu came online instantly, holding his chin with a look of having a clear idea, and said:
"The fact that six brides of the Jiang family died on the night of their wedding is probably known to everyone in this area, and it must have spread like wildfire. It stands to reason that this girl's family must not be unaware of this. Moreover, the bridegroom was picked up at night and entered the house at midnight. If it were an ordinary family, how could they be willing to push their daughter into the fire pit?"

When he said this, everyone nodded. Taoist Simu showed approval, thinking that his new disciple was smart and had great potential, and he immediately praised:

"Makes sense!"

Lei took one look at the bride and felt that she was very pitiful, so he helped to refute her:
"Then if this girl's family is not well off, it is possible that she was sacrificed by her family in exchange for some money!"

What he said makes sense. In places like western Hunan, southern Yunnan, and Sichuan, there is a folk custom of arranging ghost marriages. If some young masters from wealthy families die before they get married, their families will usually arrange a ghost marriage for them.

If there are many brothers in the family, the ghost marriage may be to buy the corpse of a young girl and bury her with the young master. But if there is only one child in the family, the wife for the ghost marriage is usually a living person.

Generally, the girls they marry are from poor families. The ceremony is to worship heaven and earth with the husband's spirit tablet. After entering the house, they become widows and have to be faithful wives all their lives, and be filial to their parents-in-law on behalf of their so-called "husband" who has long died and they have no feelings for him anymore.

Such a thing is of course extremely inhumane, but it can bring considerable wealth to the poor girl's family, which is actually equivalent to selling a daughter.

This is exactly what Lei was talking about. He thought that the bride was so beautiful and so weak, she must be a poor girl who was abandoned by her family in exchange for money!
Hua Twelve smiled and shook his head without saying anything. Xu Baijiu sighed:
"Little brother, have you noticed that this girl's fingers are white and smooth? It's obvious that she has never done any heavy work. How can she look like she comes from a poor family?"

"This, this, maybe it's because the family was well off before, but has fallen on hard times now!" Lei saw that what the other party said made sense, so he could only bite the bullet and find an excuse.

Hua Twelve ignored him, looked at the bride and said:
"Don't you want to say something, girl?"

He thought to himself, you look like a naked secret agent, you are definitely not simple, so stop pretending.

The bride insisted: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Hua Shier stretched out his hand and Master Jiang's sword automatically flew into his hand, pointing at the bride.

Lei was immediately anxious when he saw this. He thought Hua Twelve was going to attack the bride, so he quickly said:

"what are you doing?"

Simu snorted coldly and scolded, "Nephew, is this what your master taught you? This is such an obvious flaw, and I, your disciple, have already pointed it out clearly, but you are still blinded by lust. You are simply willing to degenerate!"

Hua Twelve smiled faintly: "In fact, there is one thing that even my brother didn't notice!"

Xu Baijiu asked in surprise: "What is it?"

Hua Twelve held the sword in his right hand and stretched out his left hand to make another move. A red lantern hanging in the distance was caught in his hand and stretched the lantern forward:
"Look for yourselves, she has no shadow!"

Before, there were only red lanterns hanging on both sides of the hall, and the entire Jiang family mansion was shrouded in a gray and gloomy tone. Therefore, when the bride knelt in the hall to worship heaven and earth, even Si Mu did not notice whether she had a shadow or not.

At this time, Hua Twelve was holding a red lantern in his hand. He was so close that everyone's shadows were clearly visible. Only the woman had no shadow under the red lantern. It was self-evident what this meant.

Simu quickly took out two willow leaves he had brought with him and wiped his eyes, then cried out:
"It's really a female ghost!"

Simu felt that Hua Twelve had seen through it, but he, a Maoshan orthodox, hadn't seen through it, and had lost face in front of his disciples, so he tried to save his dignity by saying:

"Ah, I get it. The yin energy in Fukang Town is too heavy, and the Jiang family is the most important. This woman came in the middle of the night, which concealed her ghost body and hid it from my eyes!"

Although this is just to save face, it is indeed true.

Fengyu Leidian and Xu Baijiu also quickly took out willow leaves to wipe their eyes. Sure enough, when they saw the woman, their expressions had changed completely.

The woman appeared translucent, with several blood holes on her neck and black gas emanating from her body. It was clearly the way she looked when she died.

The woman didn't seem to know that she was dead yet. She looked confused and terrified.
"What female ghost? I'm not a female ghost. How could I be a female ghost?"

Hua Shier was a little confused. According to the original plot, the bride should still be a living person, but now she is clearly a ghost. However, he didn't bother about it. He had experienced so many worlds and had seen many situations where the plot had changed. He was used to it.

He said calmly: "Think carefully, did you encounter any danger on the way here?"

The woman's eyes were vague and confused, as if she was recalling something: "Forest, fog, and more."

Suddenly, her eyes were filled with horror: "Zombies, they are zombies, dead, all dead."

The woman was so excited that black energy rose from her body and her eyes turned red. She was actually about to turn into a fierce ghost.

"not good!"

Simu hurried forward, made a spell with his hands, tapped the ghost girl's forehead, and recited the "Great Taoist Sutra on Resolving Grievances and Removing Sins". The effect of the sutra was very obvious, the black gas became visibly lighter, and the woman's eyes, which were almost blood red, also became clear again.

The woman regained consciousness and began to cry sadly. Simu advised: "If you cry again, you will become resentful and turn into a ghost, and you will never be reincarnated!"

After hearing what he said, the woman forced herself to calm down, but her face was still sad. She originally wanted to be an undercover agent, who would have thought that she would be fine when getting into the bridal sedan, but become so dizzy when getting off.

Simu began to ask for detailed information about the woman's death. There was a bloody hole on the woman's neck, and she still remembered zombies. It seemed that the matter was most likely related to zombies. If things got out of hand, he, as a disciple of Maoshan, could not just ignore it.

After the bride knew that she had turned into a ghost, she no longer concealed the truth and told the story of her life and what happened on the road.

This woman's name was Shanshan. Her brother was a notorious bandit. Because she was beautiful, her brother forced her to forge her identity, pretending to be a lady from a wealthy family, and marry into some wealthy families.

The general practice is to marry her into a wealthy family somewhere, and then while the other party is off guard during the wedding banquet, her brother will send people to act overnight to capture the wealthy family and everyone who comes to the banquet.

Since no one was left alive and a fire was set after the crime was committed to destroy the evidence, outsiders only knew that the rich family's house was robbed and the whole family was killed, but they didn't know that the bride was the thieves' accomplice.

So this method was always successful. Since Shanshan turned thirteen, her brother would do this twice every year.

Shanshan resisted at first, but later she got used to it and acquiesced in her brother's arrangement. She didn't expect that something would go wrong this time and she even lost her life.

After hearing this, Hua Twelve laughed: "This is retribution!"

Lei said angrily, "How can you be so heartless? Didn't you hear that she was forced by her brother?"

Hua Twelve said calmly:
"Look at her, she's delicate and fair-skinned, like a young lady from a wealthy family. How can she look like she's been forced?"

"Looking at her appearance, you can tell that her brother loves her very much!"

"It has been four or five years since she was thirteen years old. If she really doesn't agree with her brother, it shouldn't be difficult for her to find a chance to report to the police, right?

"Even if you don't want to betray your brother, can't you find a chance to escape?"

Hua Twelve smiled coldly: "To put it bluntly, she has become accustomed to enjoying the resources obtained through trickery and robbery. Her food, clothing and daily expenses are all stained with blood. Now she died on the way to harming others. What else can this be but retribution?"

Shanshan started to tremble at what he said: "I, I..." She kept saying "I" for a long time but nothing happened. It seemed that she had figured out the self-deceiving thoughts she had had before. She was speechless in response to what Hua Twelve said.

Simu sighed and asked, "What about the zombies?"

Shanshan calmed down and recalled the last scene of her life. She followed the wedding procession to Fukang Town. Behind the procession, there was a group of bandits' horses.

Matchmaker told Shanshan that when they were almost at Fukang Town, they happened to pass by a forest. Suddenly, fog spread out from the forest. For a moment, the wedding party could not see the road clearly and had difficulty moving forward. They had to stop temporarily and wait for the fog to dissipate before moving forward.

But at this time, Shanshan heard screams coming from outside in the sedan chair. When she lifted the curtain and looked out, she saw a black shadow shuttling back and forth in the fog at an incredibly fast speed. Every time it came in front of a person, blood mist would automatically rise from that person's body. Some people were even caught by the shadow and bitten directly on the neck.

Shanshan's eyes were suddenly filled with fear, and she hid in the sedan chair, not daring to breathe. After a while, she heard no more sound outside, so she carefully lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and wanted to escape, but as soon as she opened the curtain, she saw a hideous, terrifying, and rotten face.

I have no memory of what happened later, and the next thing I remember was that I entered the Jiang family in a sedan chair.

Hearing Shanshan's description of the zombie's appearance, the wind, rain, thunder and lightning became excited:
"Uncle Master, it's that flying zombie, the one we encountered when we went down the mountain."

Four eyes showed solemnity: "The flying zombies are indeed a big problem, but there is another tricky problem at hand. The team that sent the bride here must have dozens of people. Since they have already been killed, doesn't that mean that the team is full of ghosts!"

"These ghosts all died suddenly, and were bitten to death by zombies. They have a strong resentment and evil spirit. They are likely to turn into evil spirits, and their corpses will most likely turn into zombies."

Hua Twelve shook his head and said, "Not only that, Shanshan said that there is a group of bandits following the wedding procession. It is almost dawn now, and those bandits haven't arrived yet. I guess they have been killed by the flying zombies!"

Simu nodded in agreement: "When the sun rises, we will go find the forest that Shanshan mentioned and burn the bodies bitten by the flying zombies first. Otherwise, once the zombies turn into corpses, it will be a disaster!"

There are only a few people in Fukang Town. If the wedding procession and the bandits really turn into zombies, with dozens or hundreds of zombies, plus flying zombies, it is estimated that this town will be deserted in just one night, so it must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Lei glanced at Shanshan and said to Simu: "Uncle Master, what should we do with her? I feel sorry for her."

hum!
Hua Twelve shook his long sword, like a flash of lightning in the darkness. Shanshan opened her mouth, as if she was about to say something, but the next moment her ghost body shattered, and her red wedding dress turned into stars, and her soul flew away.

Lei had a crush on Shanshan, and when he saw Hua Shier breaking up his ghost body, he was immediately furious:

"you"

Hua Twelve swung his sword back and struck the opponent in the face, causing Lei to stagger.
"What do you mean, you still mean pitiful? Haven't you heard that there must be something hateful about pitiful people? This is Shanshan. Doesn't she know that she is harming people? She knows, but she still did it. Doesn't she deserve this fate?"

"You can't tell right from wrong. If it weren't for your uncle Taoist Simu, I would destroy your martial arts right now. Why don't you accept it? If you don't accept it, try it yourself!"

Seeing that Lei was still glaring at him, Hua Shier was not convinced and held the sword in one hand while hooking his finger at Lei with the other hand. Lei said angrily, "Just try it!"

But before he could step forward, Feng, Yu, and Dian, some hugged his waist, some hugged his legs, some covered his mouth, and held him down tightly, then all smiled at Hua Twelve and said:

"He was just joking. You are a magnanimous person. Don't bother with him!"

Simu also took out his uncle's attitude and scolded him a few times, and only then did Lei calm down.

In fact, it is not surprising that he behaved like this. According to the original plot, he and Shanshan were destined to be husband and wife. It is probably because of this fate that he behaved like this.

In the blink of an eye, it was dawn. Simu led everyone to the woods outside the town that Shanshan had mentioned to deal with the bodies. As expected, they saw dead and wounded people everywhere around the woods. There was not only a wedding procession, but also some bandits holding swords. They all had horrible expressions, as if they had seen something terrible before they died.

Simu asked the others to burn the bodies, while he performed a ritual to prevent these people from becoming evil spirits and harming people after their death.

At night, Hua Twelve and Simu decided to stay one more night, firstly to wait for Shanshan's brother to come and eliminate all the evil, and secondly to find the flying zombie and eradicate the source of the disaster to avoid more zombie slaughters and corpses. It could also be regarded as eliminating harm for the people and accumulating merit.
