Chapter 175 The Extraordinary Man Alone in the Lonely Temple

The lanterns under the eaves swayed in the wind, revealing a strange red color.

The couple who entered the front yard were quickly welcomed in by the steward in the yard. The steward was a thin old man with a kind expression, but in the eyes of the woman, he always felt that the steward's face was stiff and his limbs were a little uncoordinated.

Passing through the path paved with crushed stones in the flower garden, it extends to the front yard at the end. The trees, eaves, and stone lanterns are covered with red and colorful colors.

In fact, the two of them didn't know much about the owner of the room, and even only knew the surname Li.It was also introduced and invited by a friend who was acquainted. Speaking of that friend, it was a bit mysterious.

A while ago, he suddenly fell ill and died suddenly. Hearing the news, the couple were deeply saddened, and even came to express their condolences. But two days later, they heard that their friend had come back to life, and they said that they had received help from gods and men in the underworld.

With money, it is natural to worry about lifespan. Who would not be happy to meet such a god-man?Sure enough, not long after, the friend mentioned the god-man banquet, and informed the two of them of the address and the invitation. At this moment, the two of them stepped into the front hall, looking around for the figure of their friend.

In the main hall, there are seven tables, and each table can basically seat six to seven people. More than ten elegant maids in long skirts pass among the guests with dishes. With a shallow smile, but looked gloomy.

"Husband, have you seen Xu Cai?" The woman was a little worried about tightening her husband's robe. The guests in the hall were dressed in different ways, but there were always some people who seemed familiar to her, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember it. stand up.

"My husband, do you feel that the guests in this hall are a bit weird..."

The husband over there, Yang Chengyi, was still answering his wife's previous sentence: "I seemed to see it just now, but it was covered in the blink of an eye, and I never saw it again." Then he heard what his wife said, "the guests are a bit strange", and said with a smile: "God It's normal for people's guests to be a little weird."

"Brother Yang~~"

When Yang Chengyi was comforting his wife not to worry too much, a faint and deep voice suddenly spoke from the side. He looked back, and with a fat face, it was his friend who had died of a sudden illness and had miraculously revived, standing on the lamppost over there, The firelight reflected by the lampshade shone on his face, his grin curved slightly, and he looked at it with a smile.

"Brother Xu, it's easy to find." Yang Chengyi stepped forward and bowed his hands, "When did you come, I went to look for you at home, but no one responded, I thought you wouldn't come, but when I entered the hall, I saw Seeing you, I still want to call you, but I can't find it in the blink of an eye, you, you will have to punish yourself with two drinks later."

"Hehe, I've been here all along, but you didn't see it."

Xu Cai stood there motionless, looking at Yang Chengyi who came over with a smile, and the wife behind him also bowed to him. Looking at the lights, Xu Cai's figure was dragged on the ground, twisting like dazzled.

She quickly closed her eyes and looked again, but everything was as usual.

On the side, Yang Chengyi also asked at this time: "By the way, where is the Li Shenren you mentioned?"

"Isn't that right?!" Xu Cai's expression was a little unnatural, and he still smiled and raised his face, motioning his friend to look behind. Yang Chengyi turned his head and saw a few maids walking out in two rows at the door of the side room of the hall. A white-haired old woman was leaning on a cane, she was very old, her skin was loose, her eyes were so swollen that her eyes were squeezed into slits, but her pupils seemed to be very energetic, and she walked steadily to the head of the hall.

Looking at the invited guests in the hall, his voice was hoarse like fingernails scraping bark.

"Today, I'm old and marrying a daughter. I'm so happy that you can come..."

The surrounding guests quietly stepped forward, but there was no one to congratulate. Yang Chengyi originally wanted to congratulate, but seeing that no one was talking around, he swallowed back the words that were about to reach his throat, and Yang who was beside him subconsciously looked around, The guests stood among the lights one by one, and the shadows cast out covered half of everyone's body.

And Xu Cai over there was still standing where he was, with the lights illuminating half of his face, still grinning.

wrong.

The woman looked at Xu Cai carefully, and her eyes fell on a few familiar faces just now, one of them was an old man wearing a square-hole copper wire robe, the more she looked at her, the more panicked she became, and suddenly remembered something, the woman's hands and feet were cold, A chill ran straight to her scalp, and she quickly grabbed her husband's hand and pulled it back.

He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Husband... look at the third person over there, the one in the copper wire robe, do you remember him?"

Feeling the trembling of his wife's words, Yang Chengyi followed her gaze, and seeing the old man frowning slightly, he also felt familiar.

"Husband... that's the old owner of Kang's Cloth Village in the west of the city. Didn't he pass away six years ago?"

After Yang Chengyi reminded him like this, he suddenly remembered, his heart tightened, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.

"And over there, that little girl... She seems to be the youngest daughter of shopkeeper Fu, who fell into a well and drowned three years ago."

"...the six sons of the old Wang family who were raped and killed."

As his wife uttered the names of those familiar people one by one, the couple's feet trembled a little. Looking at the motionless figures in the room, they felt extremely frightened. Yang Chengyi looked at his friend over there. When the other party turned around with a smile, his expression became more and more strange.

At this time, from the side door, the bride came out wearing a red hijab, holding a red silk in her hand, and the groom was connected to the other side of the silk, but when the couple saw the groom, they stopped breathing immediately.

I saw the bridegroom there, it was clearly a man made of paper, walking on the ground in the official groom's robe, looking carefully, Yang covered her mouth in fright, trying not to let herself cry out, the paper man's From his appearance, he was clearly her husband.

"Walk……"

Yang Chengyi said something to his wife in a low voice, shook his wife's hand tremblingly, backed away slowly, and moved towards the hall door. Just as he crossed the threshold, the headdress on the woman's bun shook suddenly.

The hall where there was still sound was suddenly dead silent.

The couple gritted their teeth, stopped stiffly in place, turned their heads subconsciously, and saw all the guests in the hall, as well as their good friend Xu Cai, their necks slowly twisting, their heads turned to their backs little by little, their faces There is a layer of faint green.

"Run!"

Yang Chengyi let out a low growl, dragged his wife and turned around and ran away. The two nursing homes that had been staying outside were nowhere to be found at this time, and Yang Chengyi couldn't control it anymore. He rushed to the courtyard door with his wife and opened the door For a moment, there was a delicate laughter behind him.

"Where is my husband going to take this concubine?"

Yang Chengyi's body trembled, and when he turned his head, he felt his hairs stand on end. He was holding the bride in a wedding gown, her red head was covered, and the lower half of her face was frighteningly pale, and her big red lips were hooked into a smile. .

The man immediately let go, ran away, and rushed to the place where the carriage was parked outside. The driver was still dozing off in the carriage, and the other two nurses didn't know where they were. He couldn't wake the driver, so he simply pushed him into the carriage, waving The whip whipped the horses.

"Let's go!"

After two more strokes, the two naive horses started to hoof, seeming to feel the danger, and galloped towards the distance.

hehehe...

The night wind blew through the woods, and amidst the swaying leaves, there was that delicate chuckle, and I could vaguely see the bride standing behind with a red hijab, no matter how fast the carriage ran, that figure kept following behind her about ten feet away.

How to do how to do……

Yang Chengyi, who was driving the carriage, was out of breath. He was completely panicked. His wife was gone, and neither was the nursing home.

The faint mist hit his face with the wind, and Yang Chengyi seemed to recall in his mind the words of the young man in front of the dilapidated house in the afternoon.

'Brother, if you encounter any strange things recently, don't hesitate, get out and leave, and run south along this road. '

He gritted his teeth, saw the road ahead gradually emerging in the mist, pulled the reins, and drove the carriage to the road leading to the south and galloped all the way.

Behind him, the bride in the red dress was flying in the air, and the silver bell-like laughter was getting closer and closer.

In the distance, there was a dilapidated building standing beside the road in front of him in darkness, and there was a faint light of fire shining from the temple gate. Yang Chengyi waved his whip a few more times, and rushed over there.

Subconsciously shouted: "Superior!"

A rough horse pulling the cart stepped to the side of the road.

sigh -

The horse wailed, the galloping horse stepped on the ground, and rushed forward. Under the huge inertia, the carriage flew over and collided with the horse.

Boom.

The axle broke, and the carriage was pressed on the ground and slid instantly, Yang Chengyi flew out and rolled heavily on the ground. When he felt the wind blowing, he staggered and ran towards the ruined temple. In his line of sight, the toes of the figure in the red dress were hanging on the ground, flying straight towards him.

In the temple, Chen Yuan, who was flipping through the book, raised her eyelids, swung her sleeves violently, and the burning bonfire fell down.

"presumptuous!"

Zhongzheng's majesty came from the temple, and it exploded in Yang Chengyi's ears. The 'bride' who rushed towards him in his vision suddenly let out a stern scream, and flew back backwards with black smoke curling up all over his body.

　Three o'clock is a bit late.
