Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 103 Dark Marriage
After seeing the broken knife on the grave, the Demon Lord's memory immediately stimulated Zhou Ping's memory.

There are fragments of the Demon Lord’s memories in Zhou Ping’s body.

But when Zhou Ping saw Suzaku, it triggered the Demon Lord's memory.

Now, when Zhou Ping saw the black sword on the tomb, his memory was also triggered.

From the Demon Lord’s perspective, he was in front of a huge mountain.

The mountain is huge, and the Demon King is just a drop in the ocean in front of its huge body.

The demon held a sword in his hand. The sword was pitch black with serrations all over it.

"This mountain doesn't look nice to me." After the Demon Lord finished speaking, he swung out a sword.

After the Demon Lord swung his sword, the mountain did not change at all.

The gorgeous Suzaku beside him said, "This sword doesn't seem to have much combat power."

The Demon Lord looked at the black sword in front of him and smiled gently.

"This sword is made from a piece of thousand-year-old cold iron. The iron body has been nourished by the body of an ancient great demon for many years, absorbing its resentment and demonic energy, and is extremely ferocious."

"Besides, in order to forge this sword, I stole a lot of treasures from the palace and integrated them into it."

"Why shouldn't it?"

The Demon Lord looked at the black sword and said, "Let the sword energy fly for a while."

After a few more breaths, the entire mountain was instantly cut into several pieces.

The huge mountain collapsed into pieces of stone in an instant.

The original huge rock was actually chopped into flat ground by the sword energy.

Suzaku covered his mouth in surprise: "So strong!"

The scene changes.

The Demon Lord came to a vast ocean with the black sword.

He swung his sword lightly, and the entire ocean was split in half.

With one sword, the Demon Lord actually made the sea a thousand feet deep.

"I don't know if this sword can split the sky." The Demon Lord swung a huge sword energy towards the sky.

The sword energy flew towards the sky.

There was originally a huge dark cloud in the sky.

However, as the sword energy entered the sky, the dark clouds in the sky were actually dispersed by the sword energy.

In the blink of an eye, the originally dark sky turned into a clear sky.

Zhou Ping exclaimed: "So strong."

Suzaku was equally shocked and said, "What a powerful sword!"

However, the Demon Lord thought so. When he saw the dark clouds in the sky being blown away, he was actually a little disappointed: "I still can't split the sky."

When Zhou Ping heard the Demon Lord sigh, a thousand horses galloped through his mind: He actually wants to fuck the sky?

"Okay, your name is Sharpening the Knife."

The scene changed again, and Zhou Ping had come out of the Demon Lord's memory.

Zhou Ping squinted at the black sword on the tomb. It looked exactly like the magic sword Thousand Men Thousand Blades.

The sword is pitch black with tiny serrations on it.

Fan Shiyi's eyes were also on the sword. She seemed to have heard someone talk about this sword, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.

Not only Fan Shiyi, but Xiaoqing, who was originally uninterested, suddenly had an idea.

Xiaoqing jumped from Zhou Ping to Fan Shiyi, making an attacking gesture.

These days, Xiaoqing has been absorbing Yang energy from Zhou Ping.

However, once there is any disturbance, Xiaoqing will return to Fan Shiyi and protect him.

Just now, Xiaoqing shivered at the bone-chilling chill.

"Damn it, I'm a cold-blooded person, but I'm shivering. What the hell?" Xiaoqing bent down, ready to protect Fan Shiyi.

At the same time, Xiaoqing has already decided that if the enemy is too strong, she should take Fan Shiyi away first.

As for Zhou Ping, he should be able to deal with it.

The ghost marriage procession finally arrived at a grave.

This grave has a toad head.

The three brides are going to have a ghost marriage with Toad Head.

As soon as they arrived at the grave, there were some crying sounds from among the ghost marriage team.

These are the relatives of the three brides.

The three brides are all beauties in the village and have bright futures. Not only do they marry Toad-heads, but their husbands are also evil ghosts.

"Why are you all crying? You have pissed off my son, and you will suffer the consequences." Toad Lady, with disheveled hair, stared at the crying people fiercely.

Toad Mother only has Toad Head as her son, so she has spoiled him since he was a child. But if Toad Head wants something, Toad Mother will find a way to get it for him.

When Toadhead died, Toadgirl felt like the sky was falling, but she didn't expect that Toadhead would come back to life on the seventh day.

After Toadhead came back to life, he did evil in the village. Toad Lady did not try to dissuade him, but instead helped him to do evil. She gave Toadhead advice on how to harm the little girl.

It was Toad Lady's idea to have a ghost marriage. She thought Toad Head had to get married and he also needed a wife to serve him, so she suggested a ghost marriage to Toad Lady.

Considering her advanced age, the few acres of thin land at home, and her own increasing age, Toad Mother asked Toad Head to marry a few more wives so that there would be someone to do the housework.

Toadhead was naturally very willing! Although he couldn't pass on his family line as a ghost, he didn't want the girl he liked to become someone else's woman.

Finally, under the pressure of Toad-head, the villagers had to prepare three girls for ghost marriages as he requested.

In the sedan chair, the three girls seemed to think about their future fate and began to sob.

"Why are you crying? If you keep crying, my son will send all your family members to accompany him in the underworld." Toad Lady shouted sternly.

The three brides stopped crying as expected. All three of them had their own loved ones, and they didn’t want their loved ones to be implicated because of themselves.

Toad Lady glanced at the villagers, and they all lowered their heads and dared not look at her.

In the past, Toad Mother raised her son alone. The villagers felt sorry for her and helped her with some chores, but Toad Mother didn't appreciate it at all.

She felt that the people in the village should make her son happy.

The Toad Lady nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi and said, "Strangers, leave now if you have nothing else to do. Once my son comes, you won't be able to leave."

Facing the threat from the Toad Lady, Fan Shiyi was the first to express his dissatisfaction: "Humph, a mere little devil dares to threaten me."

Zhou Ping didn't say anything, but stared at the sharpening blade, and then spread out his perception range. The ghost bride also floated behind Zhou Ping.

With the help of perception, Zhou Ping saw the toad head.

Toad Head was in the grave. He was filthy, with only a few sparse hairs on his head, and the rest was rotten scalp.

As if hearing Fan Shiyi’s words, the Toad Head floated out of the grave and appeared directly to look at everyone.

"Who was talking just now?" Toad Head floated out of the grave.

There was a sudden chilly wind blowing over the grave, and ghosts were howling.

The villagers could not stand steadily in the cold wind and were blown all over the place.

Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi were fine. This little trick was not a problem for them.

"This ghost is not strong, I can pay him." The ghost bride said beside Zhou Ping. Zhou Ping shook his head and advised the ghost bride not to act rashly. According to Shitou, Fa Yuan was beaten badly by Toad Head, which showed that Toad Head was quite capable.

However, Zhou Ping guessed that Toadhead's trump card was to sharpen his knife.

It was precisely because of the magical weapon, Sharpening Thousand Blades, that Fa Yuan was unable to defeat Toad Head.

Otherwise, Buddhism and ghosts are naturally incompatible, so how could Fa Yuan lose to Toad Head?

Zhou Ping could sense the fluctuations of spiritual power from Toad Head, which was indeed not that strong, or perhaps very weak.

The ghost aura of Toad Head is far less than that of the Ghost Bride, and is barely comparable to that of the Ghost Baby.

"Son, it's those two outsiders. They look down on you." Toad Lady pointed at Fan Shiyi and Zhou Ping and said.

Toad Head looked at Zhou Ping and Fan Shiyi.

"This girl is really good, I like her." Toadhead's eyes lit up and he said in surprise.

He looked at the three brides in the village, then looked at the ghost bride, and the desire for the ghost bride in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

"What girl?" Toad Mother couldn't see the ghost bride, so she didn't know what her son was talking about.

A little bit of the evil energy from Toad Head fell into Toad Girl's eyes, and Toad Girl was also able to see the ghost bride.

"Mom, look at this girl, isn't she much better than those three brides?" If Toadhead was not a ghost, he would have drooled long ago.

When Toad Lady saw the ghost bride, she was startled at first, but then she thought of herself and she was right next to her, so she was not so scared anymore: "Well, this girl is really good, wearing a wedding dress, and her chest is still so high. She is a real material, and her butt is also big. She is a good childbearer."

"Mom, I want this to be my wife." Toadhead pulled Toad Mother's arm and acted like a little child.

Toad Lady nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I will be your matchmaker."

Since her son likes her, Toad Lady will of course support him, but she knows that the ghost bride is a ghost and not a real person.

Although her son likes the ghost bride, Toad Mother also needs a hard-working wife to work for her.

"Son, we want this ghost bride, and we want those three brides as well, is that okay?" said the Toad Lady.

Toadhead nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, okay."

The Toad Lady smiled and turned to look at the ghost bride behind Zhou Ping: "Girl, my son is a ghost just like you. How about you two get married and live together so you don't get lonely anymore."

Zhou Ping didn't say anything. He knew the ghost bride would not agree and it was just a waste of time for Toad Lady to talk.

Fan Shiyi sneered. The more she looked at the mother and son, the more disgusted she felt. But Toadhead gave her a very dangerous feeling, so she didn't dare to act rashly.

The ghost bride said nothing.

The Toad Lady asked again: "Girl, you and my son are a perfect match, talented and beautiful. Would you like to marry me?"

The ghost bride still didn't speak.

"Mom, she doesn't say anything. Does that mean she doesn't agree?" Toad Head hugged Toad Mom's arm and said coquettishly.

Toad Lady touched Toad's head and said with a smile: "My son is handsome and elegant, how could she not agree? She might be dumb if she doesn't speak."

"Ah, a mute?" Toadhead thought for a moment, "I like the mute too, she's pretty."

Toad Lady nodded: "Don't worry, I'll ask for you again."

The villagers were scared away one by one. They couldn't see the ghost bride and didn't know who the Toad Lady was talking to.

In the cemetery, only Village Chief Shi, Shitou, and the relatives of the other two brides were left.

"You ask me if I want to marry your son?" the ghost bride suddenly said.

Toad Girl and Toad Head looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Mom, she is not mute." Toad Head said happily.

Toad Lady nodded: "Girl, are you willing to marry my son?"

Toad Lady’s idea was very simple: the ghost bride would belong to her son, and the three living brides would belong to her.

"If you want to ask me whether I agree or not, you have to ask my son." As the ghost bride spoke, she pulled out the ghost baby from her belly.

After the ghost baby was pulled out, it tried desperately to get into the ghost bride's belly. The timid ghost baby also felt that this place was dangerous, so he wanted to escape.

"Mom, she already has a son." Toadhead was a little unhappy. He felt that the ghost bride was no longer a virgin.

Toad Mother quickly comforted Toad Head: "Since she already has a son, we don't want her anymore. We need a virgin girl in our family."

Toadhead hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom, even if she is not a virgin, I still want her."

Toadhead still wants the ghost bride.

Toad Lady nodded: "Okay, we want more, as long as you are happy."

The Toad Lady looked at the ghost baby again and said, "Little baby, why don't you be grandma's grandson? I have some delicious candied haws here."

The ghost bride said that she had to ask the ghost baby whether she agreed or not, so the Toad Girl began to ask the ghost baby for his opinion.

The ghost baby seemed to understand what Toad Mother said. He looked at the ghost bride, then at Zhou Ping, and then pointed at Zhou Ping with his little finger: "Ask my father."

A fierce light immediately fell on Zhou Ping.

"Do you agree or not?" After the Toad Head got angry, the power of his ears doubled, and his soul body grew several times larger in an instant.

A wave of air emanated from the Toad Head.

Everyone near the grave was blown to the ground by the gust of wind.

The three brides were also blown away by the wind.

Soon, only Zhou Ping, Fan Shiyi, the ghost bride and the mother and son of Toad Head were left on the grave.

Zhou Ping was a little depressed. Why did it involve me? Wouldn't it be better to just refuse directly?

Zhou Ping didn't know that the ghost baby's actions were instigated by the ghost bride, who just wanted to see what Zhou Ping would say and do.

"Zhou Ping, your son is asking you, the mother and son want to remarry, are you willing?" Fan Shiyi knew the identities of the ghost bride and the ghost baby, so he joined in the fun.

Zhou Ping sighed. He knew that if he said yes, it would definitely hurt the ghost bride's heart. The ghost bride followed Zhou Ping, and Zhou Ping was not a fool. He knew her thoughts to some extent.

"I can still afford to support my son." Zhou Ping said, looking at Toad Head.

As soon as he finished speaking, an even bigger wave of air came out from Toad Head.

Toadhead was angry and wanted to take the ghost bride away by force.

After the huge air wave, countless black knife shadows moved around in his body.

The ghost baby was frightened by this aura and wanted to drill into the ghost bride's belly, but was held by the ghost bride instead.

The ghost bride held the ghost baby and stood behind Zhou Ping: "It's okay, your father is here, he will beat the bad guys away."

Zhou Ping felt bitter in his mouth as he listened to the ghost bride's words.

If Zhou Ping encountered danger under normal circumstances, the ghost bride would rush forward first.

But this time, the ghost bride did not choose to take action, but chose to hide behind Zhou Ping, just like a young wife.

"Zhou Ping, be careful!"

"I remember now. This is the Demon Lord's personal magic weapon, the Thousand Blades Demon Sword."

"The power of the Demonic Blade Thousand Blades is very strong. Several first-grade ones have died at its hands, and countless second-grade and lower ones. This blade has generated a fierce spirit, and its strength is extremely strong."

After Fan Shiyi finished speaking, she also hid behind Zhou Ping. She knew that she had little fighting power, so she decided not to cause trouble for Zhou Ping.

"Xiaoqing." Zhou Ping asked Xiaoqing for help.

Xiao Qing stood on Fan Shiyi's shoulder and said, "Don't look at me. I'm not an expert in dealing with these ghosts and demons. Confucianism and Buddhism are the best."

Zhou Ping: So you guys want to watch the fight scene between me and Toadhead?
