My fairy tale is actually a strange story

Chapter 53 Du Lingyun

"The auspicious time has come!"

Manager Cui shouted, and the band in Du family costumes played in unison.

The tomb guard carried the coffin out of the tomb chamber and walked toward the crowd like a sedan.

Players follow the wedding ceremony and walk along the aisle to see off the bride.

It's just that...the process of carrying the coffin and getting married scared everyone.

"It's hard to get rid of love when there is no chaos, but suddenly there is resentment..."

The maid sang an opera, it was "The Peony Pavilion".

Jiang Yuncheng clearly felt that the expressions of Xu Hong and Cai Xun had changed.

They listened carefully to the sound recording extracted from the fragments of ghost stories. Although they did not understand "The Peony Pavilion", they had some impressions in their minds.

However, since it is the deceased who is being sent, shouldn’t it be a white opera version?
  In other words, will these people sing the white opera version of "The Peony Pavilion"?

As the team marched, Jiang Yuncheng stared at the inscriptions on the gods and monsters.

The current direction of travel is to go deeper into the tomb area. I also know that the further inside I go, the harder it will be to escape.

You must fill up all the obsession holes on the inscription on the gods and monsters as soon as possible.

Finally, when the coffin was moved out of the tomb, the second obsession hole in the inscription of the gods and monsters was opened again.

Enter!
  At the familiar Lucheng magic stick stall, the maid of the Du family's daughter came to invite the Taoist.

He also blindfolded himself before the daughter of the Du family, and this time Jiang Yuncheng agreed.

"I collect people's money and help them eliminate disasters. The lady has needs, and I want to make a living."

At this point, the three magic sticks, including Jiang Yuncheng, have accepted the commission from the daughter of the Du family.

Further down, the daughter of the Du family sent a highly qualified old woman to take three disguised magicians to the attic where Du Liniang lived.

You need to identify the location of the attic and the room before casting the spell.

When passing by the attic, Jiang Yuncheng noticed that there were no flying magic soldiers outside.

The previous strategy failed and there was a big fuss in the Du family's backyard. The head of the Cheng family in the front yard sent flying magic soldiers to kill the players.

It means that the head of the Cheng family is already in the Du family's house, but the flying magic soldiers are not allowed to come to guard the attic now. After all, no one would think that anyone would dare to make trouble. The subsequent role of the flying magic soldiers outside the attic will be more towards the honor guard.

This is great news.

With the Feitian Divine Soldier away, Jiang Yuncheng had the opportunity to enter the attic.

If you fail to clear the second obsession level and jump directly to the third level, the difficulty will increase a lot, and players need to have an absolute level advantage to deal with the flying magic soldiers.

After a brief walk with the old nanny, Jiang Yuncheng was taken to an empty room.

The starting point of the third level is here, but it is still noon, and the third level starts at night.

Through Yingniang, Jiang Yuncheng disappeared outside with ease.

As long as there are no flying magic weapons, there is no enemy that is difficult to deal with within the Du family.

In the flower garden outside the attic, Jiang Yuncheng waited quietly.

Shadow Niang, who sneaked into the attic along the shadows, sent back the news that Du Liniang had just finished lunch and the servants packed their things and planned to leave.

After a while, Du Liniang was left in the room, and two maids were waiting outside the door.

There are guards outside the attic, and Manager Cui is on standby on the first floor of the attic.

Compared with taking off to be stationed by the heavenly soldiers, the difficulty of infiltrating at this time is much lower.

Following the shadows under the roof tiles, Shadow Niang walked toward the window of the room where Du Liniang was.

The distance was a bit beyond the limit of Ying Niang's movement away from Black Jade Chai. Jiang Yuncheng carefully moved toward the attic, and Ying Niang was able to successfully sneak in through the gap in the wooden window.

Disapparate!

Jiang Yuncheng, who had left the flower garden in order to keep up with the distance extension, could not stand carelessly in Du Zhong's home. Ying Niang was already in place, so Jiang Yuncheng hurriedly changed places and entered the house. There was a faint fragrance in the boudoir, which felt a bit familiar. When Jiang Yuncheng's eyes touched a series of bright yellows in the vase, he remembered that they were winter jasmine flowers.

In the previous years, Du Liniang and the little scholar met in the flower field every day to talk poetry. They felt so uncomfortable that they were about to marry the head of the Cheng family, who was over sixty years old.

Du Liniang's true identity is an orphan girl from the theater troupe adopted by the Du family. In order to repay the kindness of the Du family for providing money to support her wedding and subsequently providing a prosperous life, Du Liniang must complete her mission no matter how unwilling she is emotionally.

"Miss Du."

Jiang Yuncheng called softly, and the man with the red hijab in front of the dressing table trembled obviously. Du Liniang thought it was an illusion, and turned around to vaguely see an additional figure in the room through the red cloth.

"Little scholar..."

"it's me."

"Small…"

Du Liniang stood up and was about to exclaim, but her mouth and nose were covered by Jiang Yuncheng.

"Keep your voice down, don't be heard."

Du Liniang's boudoir is divided into an inner and an outer room. The inner room is for daily living, and the outer room is more like a study. Two maids guard the study. The distance is relatively wide, so the noise is not easily transmitted.

Even so, Du Liniang cannot be allowed to speak freely.

"Little scholar...it's really you..."

Du Liniang wanted to lift her red hijab, but then she remembered the numerous instructions given by the head of the Du family.

The head of the Cheng family, whose first wife died young, would take in a concubine every two or three years. Although these concubines did not live long, they were very particular about every happy event. If they knew that Du Liniang wore a red hijab before getting married, she would definitely He got angry and made things difficult for the Du family everywhere.

"There are no outsiders, don't be afraid."

Jiang Yuncheng quickly lifted the red cloth from Du Liniang's head.

For a time, the red makeup and pink face were shining brightly.

"You..." Du Liniang took half a step back timidly, then mustered up the courage to look at Jiang Yuncheng carefully, as if she wanted to imprint the whole image deeply into her soul.

"Why did you come to Du's house?"

"I have to tell you something."

"Ok?"

"The daughter of the Du family, you are the one who married the old man instead of her. Today, three mages were invited to harm you. I pretended to be one of them and came here to mention it."

"Miss Du Lingyun..."

The daughter of the Du family was originally named Du Liniang, but was arranged to be a collateral descendant and renamed Du Lingyun.

In fact, the head of the Du family regarded her as his own daughter in private. The servants with some qualifications knew the inside story and treated Du Lingyun with more respect than Du Liniang.

"Hey, it's okay. I'll be fine once I marry into the Cheng family."

Du Liniang obviously knew that Du Lingyun had always been vicious.

Even though she married an old man instead of him, Du Lingyun still hated Du Liniang for taking away her glamorous status and aura in front of outsiders.

Jiang Yuncheng specifically reminded Du Lingyun to frame him today, but Du Liniang only thought it was reasonable.

First, Du Liniang married into the Cheng family, the relationship between the two families improved, and the purpose of the marriage was achieved;
  Secondly, Du Liniang's death in the Cheng family also relieved Du Lingyun's bad temper.

"I..." Du Liniang shook her head, "I don't care anymore. Marrying to the Cheng family, the rest of my life will be different from death, just to repay the Du family for the kindness of adoption."

"Don't think like that." Jiang Yuncheng comforted, "There are still many days to come."

"Since the little scholar doesn't want me to die, then I won't die."

Du Liniang responded somewhat playfully...a response that made her happy in her own misery.

"what should I do?"

"Well... come with me to the study first, and try to hide away without leaving any trace."
