Chapter 194 The Grand Wedding, Showdown with the Demon King of the Azure Dragon! (Please Subscribe)

Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, Li Huabai and Qin Luoxi both widened their eyes, feeling a chill run down their spines.

The old house might not be in the mountains; it might only be visible through the illusionary abilities of the Blood Jade.

That Demon King of the Azure Dragon... is Blood Jade?!

This made both women's heads buzz, as if they had been struck by lightning.

Just then——

brush!
Chen Mo, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped.

The two women were startled and quickly stopped. Qin Luoxi, in particular, was already extremely terrified and had been trying to stay close to Chen Mo. With the sudden stop, her chest collided directly with Chen Mo's back, and she let out a muffled groan.

Chen Mo felt a soft bump against his back, then turned around and glared at Qin Luoxi, saying sternly, "Why are you so reckless?"

Qin Luoxi wanted to say that Chen Mo had bumped into her and hurt her, but faced with Chen Mo's cold gaze, she finally lowered her head and realized that she was the one in the wrong. "I... it was my fault."

Chen Mo said seriously, "Be more careful in the future."

Qin Luoxi gritted her teeth, looking quite aggrieved: "I understand."

Li Huabai had naturally witnessed what had just happened and found it amusing, but he said it in a serious tone, "Why did you stop, young master?"

Chen Mo said, "Since the Qing Ghost King is that blood jade, and the person it possesses is Ouyang Yu... we have long been targeted by the Qing Ghost King. If we rashly go back and act differently than before, the Qing Ghost King might discover us and eliminate us."

Li Huabai and Qin Luoxi gasped again, feeling an indescribable sense of oppression that made them feel suffocated.

Qin Luoxi patted her chest and said, "If we didn't know about Ouyang Yu's situation... we might have acted as if nothing was wrong. Now that we know, how could we possibly behave any differently than before?"

Qin Luoxi was different from ordinary people. She had known about her father's scheme for several years and knew that he had been searching for the Ghost King Sheqing. Under such influence, Qin Luoxi developed an extreme fear of the Ghost King Sheqing.

Now that they know the Demon King of the Azure Dragon is right in front of them... how could they not be terrified?

Li Huabai also looked troubled. He clearly felt that this was unlikely.

Chen Mo said, "You've been silent all this time, so just keep being silent. Let's not rush back. Let's wander around the neighborhood for a bit and calm myself down."

Upon hearing this, the two women thought about it carefully and realized it was indeed true.

Chen Mo didn't let them talk before, so from now on... he'll just continue not to talk.

The difficult one is Chen Mo...

Thinking of this, the two women looked at Chen Mo strolling ahead and suddenly realized that the young master was the one who was having the hardest time. Perhaps the two women also sensed that Chen Mo was under great pressure at the moment, so they did not disturb him, but simply followed quietly behind.

Chen Mo strolled along the ridges of the fields at the edge of the village, watching the villagers working on both sides, feeling the cold wind blowing, and smelling the scent of grass.

Looking up slightly, I saw the sun outside and the rugged mountains in the distance.

call.

Chen Mo breathed a long sigh of relief.

He went through all the clues from beginning to end:
First of all, my general assumptions are probably correct.

Previously, I had been misled by Ouyang Yu and Ouyang Lu, believing that the blood jade was an ancestral artifact passed down from generation to generation in the Ouyang clan.

However, judging from the structure of the gold finger, this thing is by no means simple.

Of course, this was not because Ouyang Yu and Ouyang Lu intentionally deceived themselves, but because their thoughts were influenced by the Ghost King of the Azure Dragon.

It was the Demon King of the Green Forest who kept providing him with false information.

If Chen Mo hadn't failed to absorb the essence of the original solution this time, and hadn't had a flash of inspiration that led to the concept of the original corpse, and had found an original corpse to verify it... he would probably still be in the dark.

Then the problem is coming...

Why does the Demon King keep misleading me?
What is she after?

Why yourself?

and many more……

Suddenly, Chen Mo thought of something terrifying:

Doesn't this mean that ever since Ouyang Yu and Ouyang Lu first came to the Green Wolf Gang to seek refuge with him, the Ghost King of the Green Wolf Gang has been keeping an eye on him?

The Ghost King Sheqing learned a great deal about what happened in Nanyang Prefecture later.

She knew she had participated in the dragon-walking ritual, a human-dragon sacrifice.

He also learned that he had killed the demonic spirit of Rakshasa Mother who had possessed Huiyuan. Although the Demon King Sheqing did not know how he killed Huiyuan, he should know the result.

Following this line of thought, another question arises:

The Ghost King of Qing opened such a large ghost field; she must have something in mind. But why did she open it now, of all times, right after I and Ouyang Yu arrived at our house in the Great Snow Mountain?
Is it really such a coincidence?
Since the Demon King of Qing is inside that blood jade, if he wanted to do something to Ouyang Lu and Ouyang Yu, he could have done it long ago. Why wait until now?
The reason we didn't hold a ghost show before must be because something was missing.

And my arrival... filled that void.

What is this thing?
The answer is obvious...

It's Chen Mo!

The Demon King of Qing only recently opened his ghost field... was he after me?!

Upon thinking this, Chen Mo suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Suddenly, Chen Mo thought of many things from the past.

When I left the Green Wolf Gang to participate in the human-dragon sacrifice, my fate was unknown. Li Huabai didn't leave because the Black Mountain Tower had no way out and wanted to cling to my coattails. That's fine.

Why didn't Ouyang Lu and Ouyang Yu leave?
That doesn't make sense. After all, everyone thought they were going to die.

And then... later, Chen Mo went north to Nanzhou. Ouyang Lu and Ouyang Yu also followed him, which was unprecedented for them.

Numerous details corroborate Chen Mo's speculation.

This Ghost King of the Green-Hidden Demons, after lurking around me for so long, was actually just trying to trick me into coming here... and then set up a ghost show.

It's really weird.

'So, what does the Demon King of the Green Forest want from me?'

'I'm practically inhuman, what's there to photograph?'

"Although I could summon my godmother, it would still mean the death of one of her avatars and the loss of ten years of my lifespan. I can't do that unless absolutely necessary. I don't know much about the abilities of the Demon King of the Azure Dragon; I should ask Su Yuqing."

Thinking of this, Chen Mo suddenly stopped and looked towards the village.

'Before returning to see Ouyang Yu and his sister, I'll use my avatar to ask Su Yuqing some questions. It's always good to gather more information. After all, this trip back will mean a direct confrontation with the Ghost King Sheqing.'

Thinking of this, Chen Mo walked to a tree at the end of the field, found a rock to sit on, and then activated his senses with his avatar.

……

Campsite on the mountain.

Su Yuqing, along with Yuanfang, Li Qing'er, and Juan'er, waited here all night.

By noon the next day.

When Hua Bai and the others still hadn't returned, Yuan Fang couldn't sit still any longer. "Sister Su, a day and a half has passed, and there's still no news from down the mountain. I really can't sit still any longer; I have to go down and take a look."

As he spoke, Yuanfang picked up the dagger and prepared to go down the mountain, saying fiercely, "I can't let anything happen to Bai. Even if it costs me my old life, I won't hesitate. At worst, I'll be Buddha's disciple in my next life."

After a moment's thought, Li Qing'er also took her longsword and made a move to follow, saying, "I'll go with you."

Su Yuqing spoke up at this moment, "Come back. Hua Bai and the young master are alright."

Yuanfang was skeptical: "How did Sister Su know?"

Su Yuqing, of course, would not reveal that Chen Mo had an avatar. She only said, "Before we parted, Young Master, we agreed on a secret technique for communication. That's why I know about their situation down the mountain."

Su Yuqing was never a talkative person, nor was she a busybody. It was only when she saw Yuanfang and Li Qing'er getting restless that she spoke up.

Yuan Fang immediately rushed to Su Yuqing's side: "What happened to Hua Bai and the others?"

Su Yuqing explained in detail: "Young Master and the others have entered a ghost field and are now trapped inside, unable to get out."

Yuan Fang was taken aback. "There's a ghost field down at the foot of the mountain too?"

Li Qing'er murmured, "Didn't Sister Su say that the other side of that stream was a haunted place? How come there's a haunted place down the mountain too?"

Juan'er also curiously came over, squatted on a rock, rested her chin on her hands, and stared at Su Yuqing with wide eyes.

Su Yuqing spoke up: "I don't know either. But this also shows that the influence of the Green-Capturing Ghost is very large. It's possible that we are also in the Ghost Field, but we just don't know it."

what?
Are we also in a ghost town?
Yuanfang looked around, his eyes filled with horror.

Su Yuqing said, "When the young master and I parted ways, he entrusted me with protecting you. Don't be afraid. But don't even think about running down the mountain. The situation in the village down the mountain is very complicated now. If you go there, you won't be able to get out. You'll only cause trouble for the young master. Just stay here and wait."

Although Yuanfang was concerned about Li Huabai, he was also a man of principle. He put down his weapon, kicked a nearby stone hard, and shouted angrily, "Damn it, it's all my fault for not being strong enough to protect Huabai."

Su Yuqing said calmly, "Don't worry, the young master and I will think of a way to break this deadlock. It's not the right time yet, let's just wait a little longer. I reckon... the Ghost King Sheqing, who has set up such a grand scheme, should be showing himself soon."

Li Qing'er stepped forward and thanked them, "Thank you so much, Sister Su and Young Master, for protecting us. Sister Su, could you tell me about the situation down the mountain?"

"Yes, yes, please tell me, Sister Su. I'm so worried about drawing it too white." Yuanfang also came over at this moment, looking like she was listening humbly.

Seeing that the two were worried too much and were not in good spirits, Su Yuqing told them about the situation down the mountain that Chen Mo had told her last time.

"What? The people from the village at the foot of the mountain are alive? Didn't we bury those bones before? How come..." Yuan Fang gasped, his face turning pale.

Li Qing'er also found it unbelievable: "Sister Su, what's going on?"

Su Yuqing said, "This is what makes the Ghost Field so terrifying. The resentment soars to the sky and lingers. Resentment can summon souls and control corpses. Moreover... as long as the resentment doesn't dissipate, these wandering spirits and living corpses cannot be killed."

Li Qing'er felt a chill: "Young Master and Sister Bai, aren't you in danger in that kind of environment?"

Su Yuqing comforted him, "Young Master is quite skilled and has extraordinary methods. He won't fall for it so easily. Instead, you should focus on your own well-being and protect yourselves. The best you can do is not cause trouble for Young Master."

Perhaps because they knew how terrible the situation was down the mountain, Li Qing'er and Yuan Fang became much more timid and nodded in agreement.

Just then, there was another commotion coming from the woods ahead.

"Who?"

Upon hearing the commotion, Yuan Fang immediately drew his dagger and cautiously looked towards the dense forest ahead. Coupled with the feeling that he was in a ghostly place, his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

"You stay here, I'll go check it out."

Knowing who it was, Su Yuqing plunged into the woods.

pat.

Yuan Fang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Yuqing enter the woods, and slumped down on a rock.

Li Qing'er said, "Yuanfang, even though the young master isn't here, I see that Sister Su takes great care of us. From now on, we should listen to Sister Su and avoid causing her any trouble. It's not easy for Sister Su to take care of us."

Yuan Fang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly: "Miss Xiao Qing is right. I acted impulsively just now. Now I understand that in this terrifying and eerie place, our concern is meaningless. We should just listen to what I say."

Li Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you understand. Only Sister Su and Young Master can lead everyone to break this deadlock. Let's not make things difficult for ourselves."

"Yes, yes, yes."

……

Su Yuqing entered the forest and walked several hundred meters before seeing Chen Mo's incarnation.

Thanks to their previous communication, Su Yuqing was now used to it and spoke directly: "Is the young master alright down the mountain?"

"Everything is fine for now, but I've discovered some problems. I need to ask Xiaoyu for advice."

"Young master is too modest. Just say what you have to say."

Chen Mo then recounted in detail what had happened in the village at the foot of the mountain, as well as his own speculations.

Even someone as skilled as Su Yuqing was greatly surprised upon hearing these words: "Does the young master suspect that the Azure Demon King has been hiding inside the Blood Jade all along?"

Chen Mo: "Although this is just my guess, I think it's pretty close to the truth. It seems that the Ghost King Sheqing was already watching me back in Nanyang Prefecture. Xiaoyu, what do you think the Ghost King Sheqing is after?"

Su Yuqing fell silent, mentally processing Chen Mo's thoughts.

First of all, Su Yuqing felt that Chen Mo's speculation was very reasonable.

So the question returns to the original point: why did the Ghost King of the Green Forest open the ghost field as soon as everyone entered the mountain? What exactly does the Ghost King of the Green Forest want to do? And what does he want from Chen Mo?
After a long while, Su Yuqing spoke up: "Young Master just said... that he saw Ouyang Lu's original corpse in the ice cave, but he didn't see Ouyang Yu's?"

"Yes."

"Furthermore, young master, you also saw that Ouyang Yu was very affectionate towards Ouyang Lu at first, even hugging Ouyang Lu's waist from behind?"

"Yes."

After a moment, Su Yuqing and Chen Mo spoke up: "I have a rough guess."

"You said."

"Does the young master know the origin of the Ghost Field?"

"Isn't it said that the Demon King of the Azure Forest can awaken the power of the field, and then use that power to construct a demon field?"

"This is just the surface. In reality, the power of the Azure Demon's field is a cocoon that it constructs with its own life. It's like a silkworm cocoon. Within the demon field, the Azure Demon King is naturally omnipotent. Even when facing a life-or-death crisis, the Azure Demon can use the cocoon to protect itself and isolate itself from external harm. And when it reaches a certain point, the Azure Demon can even bind itself in the cocoon, waiting to break free and transform into a butterfly."

"Spinning a cocoon around oneself? Or breaking free and transforming into a butterfly?"

"Yes, the Qing Ghosts are terrifying beings with five hundred years of cultivation. It is very difficult for them to continue to improve their cultivation. They often do so by spinning their own cocoons and then breaking free to become butterflies. They spin their cocoons for a hundred years, and once they break free, they gain another hundred years of cultivation. After breaking free three times, they can have eight hundred years of cultivation. Then they will be able to challenge for higher and higher levels. Once they succeed in challenging for higher levels, they can be comparable to evil spirits, like gods of death, commanding armies of ghosts."

Chen Mo fell silent. "So, the reason the Azure Demon King is trying to break free from his cocoon and transform into a butterfly?"

Su Yuqing said, "Whether it's ghosts, zombies, or even more terrifying demons, just like humans, the higher they go... the more difficult it becomes to cultivate. Demons have the method of transforming into dragons, and ghosts have the way of breaking out of their cocoons and becoming butterflies. Each has its own method."

Chen Mo understood immediately. "If that's the case, then what does the Ghost King of Qing want from me?"

"Young master, please don't rush. Let me explain slowly." Su Yuqing recounted: "A hundred years ago, the Ghost King of the Azure Dragon trapped himself in a cocoon, carving his vengeful spirit onto that blood jade. Now, to break free from the cocoon and transform into a butterfly, he needs to go through three steps: the resentment reappears, the resentment amplifies, and he must find a body to break free from the cocoon."

The appearance of a haunted place marks the beginning of the resurgence of resentment.

This was the first time Chen Mo had heard of the three steps of metamorphosis. "So... the first step of the Metamorphosis of the Azure Demon King has already begun. We've all been drawn into this game."

Su Yuqing: "That's right. However, the resentment has only just begun to reappear, and the power that the Qing Ghost King can mobilize is limited, and it cannot completely possess a person yet. It can only set up its scheme by influencing the thoughts of others. If she completes the second step of amplifying the resentment, she can regain her original cultivation level, and then she can come out completely. She can either act recklessly or possess and seize the bodies of others."

Chen Mo was somewhat alarmed upon hearing this: "Then what method will the Qing Ghost King use to amplify the resentment?"

Su Yuqing frowned: "I don't know the method of amplifying resentment yet. But we can make some guesses. The Qing Ghost King was born out of hatred between husband and wife. It seems that the method of amplifying resentment should also be related to marriage. Young Master can pay more attention to this area of ​​information."

Chen Mo nodded: "Go on."

Su Yuqing: "The final step is to break free of the cocoon by borrowing a body, and that body is likely to be Young Master. That Rakshasa Mother was able to control the Moonlight only because she obtained the blood of the Azure Demon King. It seems that the birth of the Azure Demon King is related to the red Moonlight. The fact that Young Master was chosen this time is most likely related to the red Moonlight within Young Master."

I see……

After hearing these words, Chen Mo had a general idea of ​​the logical chain in his mind.

Resentment resurfaces, resentment intensifies, it borrows another body to break free from its cocoon... and finally emerges as a butterfly.

The reason why the Ghost King of the Azure Dragon hadn't opened the ghost field before was because the last link was missing.

Now that I've arrived, this step is complete.

So they opened a ghost town.

However, Chen Mo still has one problem:
"If that's the case, then the Ghost King Sheqing was already targeting me back in Nanyang Prefecture. Why didn't he open the Ghost Arena then? Why wait until here to make his move?"

After pondering for a moment, Su Yuqing said, "I suspect there really is an ancient house in these mountains. Moreover, the original corpse or soul of the Qing Ghost King is in that ancient house. The transformation from cocoon to butterfly can only be effective here."

Chen Mo was taken aback, then nodded: "That makes sense. The original corpse and soul of the Qing Ghost King are not down the mountain... but on the other side of the river. Xiao Yu should keep an eye on the other side of the river."

“Please be careful, young master. I will keep an eye on the mountain.”

"I know. Wait for my message."

“Take care, my lord. If you encounter any difficulties, please let me know and I will come down the mountain.”

"it is good."

……

On the edge of the mountain village, under a big tree.

Chen Mo sat on a rock, gazing at the distant sun.

Qin Luoxi and Li Huabai stayed to the side, watching quietly.

Seeing that Chen Mo remained silent, Qin Luoxi assumed that Chen Mo was under too much pressure, so she comforted him, "Young Master, don't be discouraged or afraid. I'm still waiting for you to take me out. Whatever you do, I will do my best to help you."

Li Huabai nodded in agreement.

Chen Mo, having regained his composure, glanced at the two women and then said, "I came here of my own accord, so what's there to be afraid of?"

He had come with his trump card, but his own words reminded Chen Mo.

Yes.

I came voluntarily...

This means that the resentment of the Qinggui within the Blood Jade wasn't particularly strong, and therefore didn't affect him or force him to come here. Instead, it was through the gradual guidance of the Ouyang siblings.

It is clear that the Demon King Sheqing at that time was indeed trapping himself in his own trap.

Now that we've reached the Great Snow Mountain, we're finally starting to exert our full strength.

Thinking about it this way, Chen Mo felt that Su Yuqing's analysis was largely correct. Knowing the plans of the Ghost King of the Azure Dragon, Chen Mo felt less uneasy.

So what I need to consider is how to take action, when to take action... and how to modify and make this Qing Ghost King compatible.

To modify compatibility, one must accumulate enough original solution essence, and also kill the Azure Demon King.

To ensure a smooth and trouble-free modification process, it's best to find the original corpse and soul of the Demon King. Don't kill this fiend prematurely, otherwise, you won't be able to find the original corpse and soul, and all your efforts will be in vain.

In this world, perhaps only the Ghost King himself knows where the original soul and original corpse are.

"Let's go. Let's go back and have a chat with the Ghost King Sheqing."

Chen Mo patted the dust off his backside, then turned and walked towards the village.

Qin Luoxi quickly followed: "Are you crazy? You actually want to go and talk to the Ghost King of the Azure Dragon?"

Chen Mo said, "Otherwise what? How about... you go and have a chat with that Ghost King of the Azure Dragon?"

Qin Luoxi shrank back, "Young Master, you should go. You're a man."

Li Huabai smiled faintly upon hearing this.

Chen Mo ignored Qin Luoxi and led the two back to Ouyang Lu's house.

As soon as they entered, they saw Ouyang Lu doing carpentry in the living room, while Ouyang Yu stood behind him, hugging his waist tightly and leaning against his back in a very intimate manner.

Surprisingly, Ouyang Lu didn't feel uncomfortable at all in this abrupt scene; on the contrary, she seemed to enjoy it, calling her "little sister" repeatedly. Ouyang Yu, on the other hand, kept calling her "big brother."

Seeing this, Li Huabai and Qin Luoxi felt uneasy. This further confirmed Chen Mo's earlier speculation: Ouyang Yu was probably truly possessed by the Qing Ghost King.

The two women felt a little frightened, but they followed Chen Mo's instructions and remained silent.

"Young Master, you're finally back. I'll go prepare lunch right away." When Ouyang Yu saw Chen Mo and the other two return, he didn't shy away from them. He snuggled up to Ouyang Lu for a moment, even kissing him on the cheek, before running off to the kitchen to cook.

Li Huabai: "..."

Qin Luoxi: "..."

Taking the opportunity, Chen Mo moved closer to Ouyang Lu and said, "Brother Lu."

Ouyang Lu used an axe to split a log flat, then used a plane to scrape the wood. The whole process was very skillful, showing that he was a good carpenter.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Young master, please go and rest. Dinner will be ready soon. I'm covered in sweat, and I'm afraid the smell might make you uncomfortable."

Chen Mo said, "I'm just a rough fellow, so sweating a bit is nothing to me. I envy Brother Lu, though."

Ouyang Lu didn't think anything of it: "It's fine. We'll get married in a while."

marry?

Chen Mo vaguely sensed something, and his pupils contracted: "Brother Lu, isn't this inappropriate?"

Ouyang Lu smiled and said, "I know you are from outside, and people outside have many formalities. But our tribe is a backward tribe, and we rarely have contact with the outside world. I hope you will forgive my ignorance."

Chen Mo understood this.

Many backward tribes,
...That's still a bit of an exaggeration.

It seems that the tribe's customs are one factor, but another is that everyone is currently affected by the resentment of the Qing Ghost King.

Chen Mo didn't point it out: "Since the tribe has such customs, then it's fine. I congratulate you in advance, Brother Lu. May I ask when you plan to get married?"

Ouyang Lu said, "We just discussed it. We'll get married in three days."

Three days later...

So fast.

Chen Mo: "Does your grandfather know?"

Ouyang Lu laughed and said, "When Grandpa first took us down the mountain, he urged us to get married. Grandpa must have been happy."

Chen Mo nodded, thinking to himself: Who started all this?
Chen Mo didn't ask any more questions. "Brother Lu, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go check on the kitchen."

After saying goodbye to Ouyang Lu, Chen Mo went to the kitchen.

The kitchen was a long, narrow room with a stove inside and a dining table outside. It was clear that the Ouyang family usually ate here. On sunny days, they would also move their meals to the yard.

Ouyang Yu stood beside the stove, expertly taking charge of the wok, saying, "Young master, there's too much smoke in here. Don't come in, go wait outside. I'll be done soon."

Chen Mo slowly moved closer to Ouyang Yu and asked, "Miss Ouyang, do you still remember why we went into the mountains in the first place?"

Ouyang Yu was taken aback: "Why?"

Chen Mo stared intently at Ouyang Yu: "To find that Ghost King of the Azure Dragon."

Click.

Ouyang Yu shuddered, paused for a moment, and then said, "After I get married, I will help you find the Ghost King Sheqing."

Chen Mo continued to stare at Ouyang Yu, remaining silent.

Ouyang Yu turned around and saw Chen Mo's cold gaze. A hint of guilt appeared on her face. "I know I've delayed your business, young master. You only have three days. This is my grandfather's wish. When the time comes, I'll ask my grandfather and brother to help you find the Azure Ghost King."

In the end, Ouyang Yu felt extremely guilty.

Chen Mo nodded: "Okay. Then I won't bother you any longer."

Ouyang Yu kept watching Chen Mo's departing figure, then suddenly said, "Eh? What's wrong with me? Didn't I come with Young Master to find the Ghost King Sheqing? I can't do this... Ouch! My head hurts so much."

As he spoke, Ouyang Yu squatted down, covered his head with both hands, and let out a painful growl.

Chen Mo had just reached the door when he turned around and saw Ouyang Yu's appearance.

He couldn't help but think to himself: It seems that the Demon King of the Azure Dragon has only affected Ouyang Yu's mind so far, and hasn't completely broken free. I need to wait until she comes out before I can make a move.

The wedding day, three days from now, should be the time when the resentment of the Green-Shedding Ghost King intensifies. After all, Su Yuqing said that the Green-Shedding Ghost was born from the hatred between husband and wife, and the intensification of its resentment is related to this.

On the day of the wedding, the Demon King of the Azure Dragon should make his full appearance, which would be a good opportunity to strike.

Around noon, Ouyang Gu returned, bringing chickens and ducks.

Ouyang Yu had also prepared lunch and placed it on the dining table in the courtyard, inviting everyone to come and eat.

Ouyang Gu didn't forget to exchange a few polite words with Chen Mo, "Young master, are you used to the food here?"

Chen Mo glanced at Ouyang Yu and said, "Miss Ouyang has excellent cooking skills; the food is delicious."

"Haha, then eat more. Xiaoyu and Xiaolu just told me that they will be getting married in three days. It's perfect that you're here too, young master. It will be quite a lively occasion. You can also see our tribe's wedding customs."

Chen Mo agreed, "Okay."

After lunch, Ouyang Gu handed the chickens and ducks to Ouyang Yu to handle, and then said, "I'll go inform the neighbors that the wedding is in three days. We need everyone's help with many things, so please get ready. This is a major event in Xiaoyu and Xiaolu's lives, so we can't be careless."

Chen Mo asked, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Ouyang Gu laughed and said, "Young master, just wait for the banquet."

……

into the night.

Chen Mo and the other two continued to squeeze into one room.

Chen Mo sat cross-legged on the bed in seclusion, while Li Huabai stood by the window, peering at the scenery outside through the crack in the window.

Knowing that the Demon King Sheqing was at home, the two women were terrified and unable to sleep at all.

"Young Master," Qin Luoxi tugged at Chen Mo's arm, "They're getting married! How can anything be so bizarre? It's chilling to even think about. I wonder what that Ghost King of the Azure Dragon is up to?"

Chen Mo said, "After the marriage, the Ghost King Sheqing will completely possess Ouyang Yu's body."

hiss.

Qin Luoxi gasped, her face turning deathly pale.

Li Huabai spoke up again: "Didn't you say that the Demon King of Qing was already inside Ouyang Yu's body?"

Chen Mo: "The vengeful spirit of the Qing Ghost King should be inside the Blood Jade. Ouyang Yu should be the only one holding the jade, but the resentment in the village is not enough for it to fully emerge. It needs to be amplified by the resentment before the Qing Ghost King can come out."

Qin Luoxi: "Resentment amplified? How does Young Master know so much?"

Chen Mo ignored her.

Li Huabai asked, "How does resentment grow?"

Chen Mo said, "I suppose the wedding three days from now will be the time when the resentment of the Qing Ghost King will increase."

Qin Luoxi asked, "That doesn't make sense. Isn't marriage a joyous and celebratory custom? How could it increase resentment?"

Chen Mo frowned deeply.

This is also a question he has never been able to figure out.

Logically speaking, the fact that the Ghost King of Qing created such a massive ghost field was clearly a carefully planned scheme. The marriage itself was extremely strange, and the only significant event worth mentioning in the village. This must be related to the amplification of resentment.

But what about the question Qin Luoxi asked?
Chen Mo thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. Finally, he said, "We'll know in three days. There's no point in thinking about it anymore. Go to sleep."

After saying that, Chen Mo lay down.

Li Huabai, seeing no movement outside the window, went to lie down in the corner of the bed. Qin Luoxi, out of fear, shrank her neck and snuggled up to Chen Mo, nuzzling him like a cat every now and then.

Chen Mo spoke up: "Don't rub against me. I'm a zombie, aren't you afraid I'll eat you up in one bite?"

Qin Luoxi was so frightened that she moved away, but soon came closer again: "Even if you eat me, it's still better than being eaten by that zombie Ouyang Gu."

Li Huabai: "..."

Chen Mo was also speechless: "Ouyang Gu has already died once, he won't come tonight..."

As soon as the words fell——

dong dong dong.

Suddenly, a crisp, piercing knock came from outside the door.

brush!
The two women sat up simultaneously from the bed, staring wide-eyed at the door.

Qin Luoxi gripped Chen Mo's arm tightly: "Young Master, it seems that the zombie has returned."

Chen Mo slowly sat up, thinking to himself: This shouldn't be happening. Ouyang Gu has already died once. Moreover, everyone in this village is controlled by the Ghost Field. Could it be that Ouyang Gu's repeated trouble-making is at the behest of the Azure Ghost?

It should not be.

A being as terrifying as the Azure Demon could surely turn the tide with a single move. It wouldn't warrant Ouyang Gu coming after me.

Could it be that... the Ghost King of the Azure Dragon hasn't finished amplifying his resentment, and his control is insufficient, causing Ouyang Gu to still retain his zombie nature?
The nature of zombies is to eat people and drink their blood.

Before Chen Mo could think any further—

Click.

The door latch suddenly moved, as if something had lifted it up, and it fell to the ground with a clatter.

With a creak, the door slowly opened.

Outside was endless darkness.

Da da da.

A series of deep footsteps approached from afar, bringing with them an extremely chilling aura.

slowly……

Ouyang Gu, his face full of wrinkles, slowly walked in, a sinister smile on his face.

"Hehehe, I'm so hungry. I'm going to eat you all."

"Ah!!" Qin Luoxi screamed in fright and hid behind Chen Mo's back. "Young Master, save me."

Chen Mo ignored Qin Luoxi and instead said to Ouyang Gu, "Why did you do this..."

He raised his hand and formed a hand seal.

A spider lily appeared on Ouyang Gu's forehead, and then he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Without him.

During breakfast, Chen Mo handed Ouyang Gu chopsticks.

The next moment, Chen Mo slammed Ouyang Gu's body into a pool of blood mist. Unfortunately, the opponent's cultivation level remained the same as before, offering no benefit to Chen Mo. He also failed to absorb the essence of the original solution, which was quite a pity.

Chen Mo waved his hand: "Don't space out, go to sleep."

……

The next morning, Chen Mo got up early.

After a quick wash, they saw that Ouyang Gu had returned from outside, bringing many villagers with him to help. These villagers brought a lot of red cloth, veils, and bridal sedan chairs, and began decorating the house.

Ouyang Lu stopped doing carpentry and instead warmly greeted the villagers.

As for Ouyang Yu, she was kept in a room where several local women would come over to dress her up and explain the various rituals and rules of marriage.

The whole village was bustling with activity.

Before long, four large round tables were set up in the courtyard, and a chef was specially assigned to cook.

During the meal, Chen Mo naturally didn't forget to give Ouyang Gu chopsticks.

Without him.

This is because the other people in the village don't have much skill.

Only Ouyang Gu was a golden zombie.

Recalling the earliest instance where Ouyang Lu was fetching water by the stream, it was Ouyang Gu who lured him to the village. This shows that Ouyang Gu held a special purpose for the Qinggui.

Chen Mo had to be on guard.

Three days passed by in a flash.

On this day,

One or two hundred people from the entire village came here to eat and offer their congratulations. They witnessed the wedding.

The wedding wasn't extravagant, but it had everything you'd expect, including all the elaborate rituals. The whole village was incredibly lively.

The lively banquet lasted until dusk.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely, and all the villagers departed.

As the groom, Ouyang Lu was still seeing off the villagers one by one.

Chen Mo, Qin Luoxi, and Li Huabai sat at the round table in the southeast corner, barely touching their chopsticks, simply watching the wedding unfold from beginning to end.

After seeing off the guests, Ouyang Lu returned and quickly walked up to Chen Mo and the other two, expressing his apologies: "There were many guests today, and I was unable to entertain you properly. Please forgive me."

Chen Mo laughed and said, "Brother Lu, what are you saying? Your wife is still waiting for you to lift her red veil in the bridal chamber. Go quickly, don't delay the wedding night."

"Haha, then I'll head over now. I'll bring my wife tomorrow to apologize to you, young master." Ouyang Lu was in a great mood, smiling as he apologized before hurrying away.

Only Chen Mo and his two companions remained in the large courtyard.

As for Ouyang Gu, he went out to see off his guests.

Qin Luoxi asked curiously, "Young Master, why don't we go outside the bridal chamber and take a look?"

Chen Mo: "What's so interesting about a ghost wedding? I have important things to do that you can handle."

Remember that snow lake? Go to the lake immediately and prepare firewood and tinder. If I sound the signal flare, light a large fire and burn the corpses in the lake to ashes.

Qin Luoxi suddenly looked up: "Why is that?"

Chen Mo said, "The resentment is amplified tonight, so the Qing-ghost is probably about to emerge. Destroying the original corpses here will help me break this ghost field. Alright, don't ask any more questions, hurry up and go."

Qin Luoxi knew the matter was of great importance, so she didn't ask any more questions and immediately took Li Huabai out.

call!
Chen Mo took a deep breath: Tonight, I will finally have to face off against that Ghost King of the Azure Dragon.

Gathering his thoughts, Chen Mo's body transformed into a black ghostly figure, blending into the surrounding night. He slowly made his way to the bridal chamber, leaping over the wall and standing in a dark corner.

This is a good angle; you can see every corner of the bridal chamber.

Before long, a tipsy Ouyang Lu walked in. When he saw Ouyang Yu sitting upright on the red bed with a red veil covering her head, he smiled happily.

"My wife, I have finally married you. Now I will lift your red veil."

Ouyang Lu stepped forward excitedly, her trembling hand slowly lifting the red veil...

He eagerly anticipated seeing the bride at her most beautiful.

wow~
The red veil was lifted and slipped to the ground.

When Ouyang Lu saw the woman under the red veil, the smile on her face vanished bit by bit, and then she let out a heart-wrenching scream as if she had seen a ghost.

"what!!!"
