"Do you want me to wait for Yiyi at the social opera?"

Li Gui's muttering was entirely out of his body's instinctive habit, but when the general wielding a sword on the stage heard Lin Yiyi's name, his movements froze for an instant, and it could be seen on his face that was heavily painted with oil paint. Horrified expression.

crunch~

Rows of neatly arranged wooden chairs were loosely turned to the middle, aiming at the only living person present.

The surrounding fog dissipated, but Li Gui's brain was still a little dazed and sluggish, and his thoughts were completely empty. Faced with this strange scene, he actually did not make any move for a moment.

"Why did you leave?"

The general on the stage left quickly, leaving only a red envelope decorated with gilt paint on the empty stage.

Li Gui didn't know why he walked over. There was a faint voice in his heart that seemed to keep reminding him that if he didn't go over, he would definitely regret it.

Without any other thoughts at all, Li Gui just dropped the ghost-killing knife, walked through the rows of empty chairs, came to the stage, and opened the red envelope on it.

Inside was a strand of hair and a little man cut out of paper. Lin Yiyi's name was written on the back of the little man in red ink.

"Yi?"

"Young man, are you going to watch a show?"

It wasn't until an old joyful voice came from behind him and someone tapped his shoulder that Li Gui was freed from this strange state.

His pupils trembled and he turned around hurriedly. He instinctively wanted to use the ghost-killing sword to slash behind him. However, he grasped it with his five fingers and realized with hindsight that he had already discarded the ghost-killing sword.

"Grandma, who are you?"

He took two steps back and hit the stage. What appeared in front of him was an old woman with gray hair. The wrinkles on her face were all squeezed together, she was bent over, and she was wearing an uneasy black shroud.

"You can call me Mrs. Wang. It doesn't matter what you call me. This young man shows his talent. My in-laws will definitely be satisfied."

Li Gui noticed that when the old woman said this, she frequently looked at the red envelope she opened in her hand, with a smile on her face that was not hidden, even a little scary.

The thoughts in his brain gradually returned. Li Gui took a look at the hair and the little person in his hand, and slowly understood what happened.

"My mother-in-law wants me to get married in the underworld?"

The wrinkles on Mrs. Wang's face slowly faded away, the smile at the corner of her mouth began to become less obvious, and the eyes under her gray hair slowly became lowered.

"You can't regret it after you open the red envelope, young man."

"I'm very willing. Mother-in-law, please take me there quickly. You can also stay for a wedding drink then."

After taking a look at the name of the little paper figure in his hand, Li Gui smiled carelessly, and even began to look impatient on his face.

"Uh...there's no need to have a drink. Come with me first to get to know the bride."

Mrs. Wang was a little unresponsive to Li Gui's joy. She lowered her head in confusion and remained silent for two or three seconds. It wasn't until she realized that Li Gui was really happy that she turned around with a murmur.

"Isn't life in this world too miserable? Now it's so happy to die."

Following the old woman, Li Gui raised his eyebrows. He heard what the other party said, but he didn't care. If the ghost marriage partner was really Yiyi, he believed that Yiyi would not harm him.

And combined with the current experience at hand, he began to understand the true meaning of the prompts in the notebook.

Even after death, she will leave a deep memory with you.

This profound memory should refer to his wedding to Yiyi. The wedding after death is naturally a ghost wedding.

Li Gui collected the red envelope containing the hair and the figurine, picked up his ghost-killing knife, and followed the ghost matchmaker out of the club opera. The fog on the way back had completely dissipated, and the doors of all the houses were closed.

Following Mrs. Wang to a two-story residential building in the middle, the old woman in mourning clothes opened the door and walked in first.

"Officer Groom, please come in first and ask Fuji to get to know your natal family."

Li Gui stood at the door, ignoring the ghost matchmaker's words. Then he looked at the cramped hut with the light coming from outside. After realizing that there was no danger, he stepped over the steps and walked in.

The origin of ghost marriage is very complicated, but Li Gui knows a little bit.

Under the influence of feudal etiquette, people in ancient times followed Confucianism and believed that unmarried women could not be called real people, let alone be buried in ancestral graves, and could only be thrown into mass graves.

Under the constraints of such etiquette, some wealthy families, because they felt sorry for their dead daughters, adopted the Taoist saying that there are three souls and seven souls after death, and began to hold ghost marriages, finding living people to marry the dead, so that their daughters could be buried in the The man’s ancestral grave.

As ghost marriage gradually became popular among wealthy families, another profession was naturally born, that of ghost matchmaker. Just from the name, you can understand the meaning of this profession, which is dedicated to playing matchmaking for the dead.

Li Gui didn't know much about supporting the shackles to invite souls.

"Sit down first. You can ask three questions about the bride's family."

There was a wooden table and two chairs in the room. Mrs. Wang did not sit down. She blocked one side of the door and said in a sinister tone.

There were two half-year-old children on both sides of the table. They were wearing long robes, with numb expressions and dull eyes. They were carrying a wooden frame. A slender stick was tied with a rope under the wooden frame. The whole table was covered with rough gravel.

"A question for the bride's family?"

Li Gui looked back at Mrs. Wang who was standing in the corner of the door. She was in a dark corner of the room and could only see a rickety figure with no clear expression.

"I want to ask something."

Holding the ghost-killing knife tightly at all times, Li Gui's real attention was on the ghost matchmaker behind him. When he was sure that the other party would not suddenly pounce on him, he looked at the fuji in front of him and slowly asked the first question. : "When is her birthday?"

The pupils of the children on both sides of the table disappeared in an instant, and all their eye sockets turned white. Then the shelf they were carrying suddenly lowered, as if someone was sitting on the shelf and the wooden stick touched the gravel on the table.

Chapter 477: Red and white demons, paper figures carrying the coffin

The bodies of the children on both sides began to sway unconsciously, and the wooden sticks tied to the shelf wrote a date among the gravel on the table.

"Bingshen month, Dingsi day."

The wooden stick was written very slowly on the top side of the table, and it took several minutes to write just a few words.

"That's August 8, it's already passed."

After the real master stayed with him for several months, Li Gui realized that he knew very little about Yiyi.

Compared with Xue'er's liveliness and Xu Qing's words that express her heart, Lin Yiyi seems more silent and sensible, and only gives silently.

This also makes it difficult for Li Gui to understand what this girl likes and wants, and he is just slowly getting used to her existence.

"What's her favorite thing?"

Originally, he planned to use Fuji's method to learn about Yiyi, but Li Gui discovered that the wooden stick did not write the answer to this question.

"You don't want to tell me?"

"You only have three chances to ask questions?"

Behind her, Mrs. Wang's scary tone came again, and Li Gui ignored her.

The support method will not completely answer the information about Lin Yiyi, and he has to slowly explore it on his own.

"For things like enhancing feelings, you can only explore and try it yourself. This Fuji seems to be able to only answer some basic information about the woman's family."

Li Gui touched his chin, which had a bit of stubble, and thought about it for a while. He decided not to rely on the support method and try to understand Yiyi himself.

"There is another question that cannot be wasted. I want to ask, are her family satisfied with me as their son-in-law?"

This time the wooden stick moved, no words were written on it, only a big cross was left.

"Well, there's a long way to go."

The voice of the ghost matchmaker behind him did not sound. The children on both sides remained motionless. The wooden frame used to support the si was slowly raised, and the 'person' sitting on it seemed to have disappeared.

When Li Gui stood up, he realized that the boys on both sides had turned into paper figures at some point, and Mrs. Wang standing in the corner of the door had also turned into white paper figures.

The strange thing is that these paper figures do not have eyes painted on them, they just stand motionless in their corners.

"Yiyi must be satisfied with me, but her family doesn't seem to feel my charm yet, so what should we do next?"

The door was ajar at some point, and Li Gui suspected that it was Mrs. Wang who dared to do it. He walked to the door with a knife in his hand, guarding against the paper man transformed by the ghost matchmaker next to him, and opened the door little by little.

As the sound of creaking sounded, white light entered the room. Seeing the scene outside the door, Li Gui's eyes stagnated for a moment.

He just crossed the threshold and walked out.

"It looks like we're about to get on the sedan."

The originally quiet street at the entrance now has two different kinds of paper figures standing there.

There are eight in total, each group of four, divided into left and right sides. The paper figure on the left is all white and stands in a square shape. Surrounded by a black coffin in the middle, there are wooden sticks tied to both sides of the coffin. , the paper man on the right is standing in the same position, his whole body is red, and he is surrounded by a joyful bright red sedan chair.

Funerals and funerals were so straightforwardly displayed in front of Li Gui's eyes in red and white, which shocked him.

"Yiyi, are you in there?"

With both red and white demons, Li Guiben bypassed the black coffin and walked towards the red sedan chair.

The blood-red paper figure next to the sedan did not stop him. When Li Gui approached, he noticed that the sedan was surrounded by wooden boards and there was no entrance at all.

"Yi?"

After knocking on the wooden board and walking around the sedan, wondering if he could pry the two sides apart, Li Gui suddenly heard a loud noise from behind.

The coffin board surrounded by four white paper figures opened and slid to the ground. There was a red cotton blanket inside the coffin and various exquisite decorations on both sides.

"It can't be that my father-in-law and the others are angry."

After clearly asking you to enter the coffin, Li Gui glanced at the sedan beside him without giving up. After hesitating for a while, he walked to the coffin and climbed in.

"It's been so long since I entered the Blood Gate and I still haven't seen Yiyi. Let's follow the process of the underworld marriage first."

The space in the coffin is very narrow, barely enough for one person to lie down.

Li Gui was lying on his back in the coffin. The moment his body touched the bottom of the coffin, there was a cold feeling coming from the left and right sides of his body, but it was not uncomfortable. There was a blanket under him, which made him feel a little comfortable.

Taking a deep breath, I felt inexplicably nervous.

The ghost-killing knife and backpack were on both sides of Li Gui. The 'meeting gift' he prepared for Yiyi's family was in the backpack. Li Gui was still unwilling to break up with Yiyi's family until necessary.

"The world behind the door is not affected by reality. I don't know if some jealous guy will peel me off if I get married here."

Looking at the gray sky, Li Gui's heart began to tremble inexplicably. Slowly, there was a rustling sound in his ears. The coffin board that had fallen on the ground was lifted up by an unknown person and then covered Li Gui's body bit by bit. sight.

There were only paper figures standing on both sides of the coffin, and there was no other sound, indicating that it was the white paper figures who lifted up the coffin board.

Unconsciously holding the ghost-killing knife, the raised coffin lid rubbed against the coffin, making a squeaking sound. This sound was like a nightmare, making Li Gui's heart beat faster. When the last trace of gray sky was covered by the coffin board, all Covered, Li Gui, lying in the coffin, was completely plunged into infinite darkness.

"The ghost matchmaker said that Yiyi and I were committing suicide by getting married. Does that mean the coffin will be taken away and buried directly?"

Trying to stay calm, Li Gui began to analyze his situation bit by bit.

If he was really buried, according to the custom of underworld marriage, he must have been buried next to Lin Yiyi. Li Gui had already made up his mind to find Lin Yiyi in the world behind the door no matter what.

bang~

The coffin was not lifted immediately. With a sound, Li Gui felt something pressing on the coffin board. He tried to push it with his hands, but he couldn't push it at all.

The airtight environment was pitch black, and it was very difficult to turn over in the small coffin.

This made Li Gui extremely insecure. He was a little worried that something terrible would come out from behind or on both sides of the coffin.

After about a few seconds, a feeling of weightlessness came over me. The coffin was shaking as if it was being lifted up by a paper man. Various sounds of gongs and drums began to be heard in my ears, as well as cheerful suona tunes, mixed with various people. Voice.

The environment inside the coffin was small, the air was limited, and the darkness swallowed up the hope of living. Li Gui tried to relax and moved slowly, trying to hear what the people outside the coffin were saying, but the entire coffin was too airtight, and he could only You can hear buzzing sounds coming from outside.

If you look at it from a third-party perspective at this time, you will find that the sedan chair nailed around has been placed on top of the coffin where Li Gui is.

Chapter 478

The alternation of black and red, the paper figures surrounding the coffin, all come to life.

The red paper figures turned into bridesmaids in red dresses. They surrounded the coffin one by one with expressionless faces, waving their sleeves and dancing up and down, while the white paper figures turned into pole bearers, four of them hunched over. His face was pale and his expression was numb, like an unconscious puppet, he lifted the coffin stiffly.

As the bridesmaids in red danced lifelessly around the entire coffin, the coffin on the sedan was lifted by the bearers and walked deeper into the street.

Every time he passed a house, villagers without pupils would walk out of the house.

Their faces were lifeless and their skin was gray, but they also had extremely inconsistent smiles. If Li Gui climbed out at this time, he would find that these villagers were not the original Fangxi Village residents.

Everyone seemed happy for today's wedding. Some even spontaneously picked up suonas and drums from home, with awkward smiles on their faces.

They followed the coffin and sedan chair one by one. After a while, the entire welcoming team grew dozens of times.

Although he couldn't notice what was happening outside, Li Gui was getting colder and colder as he lay in the coffin. He seemed to be in an ice cave, with cold air pouring in all around.

Li Gui instinctively wanted to take out a flashlight to get a glimmer of light.

But as soon as his hand reached into the backpack, he touched a strand of hair, and then the coffin was patted by someone unknown, and a middle-aged man's voice came.

"Be honest, don't move."

The hand that reached into the backpack was withdrawn instantly, and his body froze. The chill spread into Li Gui's heart like a thorny thorn with fear.
