I just want to be a quiet man

Not to mention, none of them have built their foundation yet.

Now only the disciples who follow Su Zhentian closely can have a glimmer of life.

Naturally, he dare not disobey Qiao Ciguang's order now, and Su Zhentian is a well-known and well-known family, and has never had a criminal record of harming casual cultivators.

Therefore, they dared to take the risk.

The gate is right in front of you, but the weeping woman didn't have the slightest intention to push the door in. Instead, she carefully put down the bamboo basket in her hand, then lifted the black cloth and took out a pair of living wild geese.

The pair of wild geese had bright feathers, and their whole bodies were tightly bound with woven multicolored silk ribbons. Even their beaks were entangled several times, making them unable to sing.

The weeping woman looked solemn, with a hint of nervousness.

Holding the pair of wild geese in both hands, she gently placed them on the threshold in front of the closed gate, and took out two bells from her bosom. The bells were stuffed inside and could not make a sound.

At this moment, the weeping woman pulled out the stuffed fabric, hung the bell on the neck of the wild goose, and said in a low voice, "Kneel down."

As he spoke, he made a "plop" first, knelt down, bowed deeply, and pressed his forehead directly to the ground.

Seeing this, the four casual cultivators looked at each other in blank dismay, but soon, they also knelt down on the ground, sticking mud to their foreheads.

After a while, a soft bell sound was heard.

It seemed that someone was fiddled carelessly, and then, the bell became louder and louder, and even began to be mixed with the painful cry of wild geese.

The four casual cultivators were secretly startled, how did the geese sing despite their beaks being tied up?

They wanted to look up, but they didn't dare to think of the weirdness of this village.

After a long time, the sound of bells and geese gradually disappeared, and the weeping woman waited for a while until she heard the door "creak" open, then she was relieved, got up and said: "Okay, let's go in. "

"Mother-in-law, what is this?" The four casual cultivators got up and swept their eyes across the threshold, only to see that the geese and the bell had disappeared, but a few blood-stained feathers fell on the threshold, causing their pupils to shrink.

The four looked at each other and asked tentatively.

The weeping woman sighed and said, "This is the rule in the village, you can't break into an empty house, unless the empty house invites you..."

"Otherwise, in the current old Xu's house, whoever enters will die."

She didn't mean to explain in detail, but shook her head, stepped over the threshold, and walked into the house.

The four casual cultivators frowned, but still followed.

The weeping woman did not stay in the main room, but went straight to the backyard with a clear goal.

In the backyard, three coffins were placed quietly.

She was not at all surprised by this scene. She put down the bamboo basket in her hand and took out a bundle from it. After opening it, there was a set of bright red wedding dress, two sets of water red dresses, and some rouge for dressing up. Gouache and the like.

"Open the lid of the coffin, and I will groom them." The weeping woman picked up the hairpin and hairpin, and instructed the four casual cultivators.

The casual cultivators had no reaction to the corpses. After all, as monks, they had seen a lot of dead people, and the corpses of mortals did not arouse their interest at all.

But when she saw the things in her hands, she was rather surprised, wearing a red wedding dress for a funeral?Wearing hairpins and beaded flowers?

But being urged by the mourning woman, the four opened the lids of the three coffins according to their words, and watched the mourning woman paint the corpses in the coffins one by one.

Her movements are very skillful, and her hands and feet are not as agile as that of an old man of this age, but her expression, despite trying her best to conceal it, still faintly reveals tension and fear.

The four casual cultivators stood aside, looking at this scene, their hearts were slightly awe-inspiring, and they always felt that this task was not as light as Fairy Yumeng said...

It's just that they didn't dare to leave without authorization.

At this moment, the weeping woman said: "The makeup is done, you help him up, it's time to comb his hair."

As she spoke, she took out a comb inlaid with gold and jewels from the bag. The comb was about the size of a palm, and the gorgeous comb was incompatible with her hands full of age spots and the simple environment around her.

So much so that the four casual cultivators couldn't help but take a second look, and soon found that there were many runes engraved on the comb, which was indeed a magic weapon!

A magic weapon will appear in this kind of place!

Moreover, it is still in the hands of a mortal old woman with no cultivation?

The four casual cultivators were full of greed for a while, and they calmed down after touching the three mortal corpses. They exchanged glances with each other, and decided to wait until the mourning was over before making any plans.

At this moment, the weeping woman stood behind the little girl who was lifted up first, and while combing her withered and yellow hair with a magic weapon, she sang in a crying voice: "One comb to the end of the hair, and the second comb to make the white hair match the eyebrows." The third comb is full of children and grandchildren, the fourth comb is full of children and grandchildren, the fourth comb is for eternal marriage, the fifth comb is for harmony with the old man, the sixth comb is for blessings and blessings, the seventh comb is for avoiding misfortunes, the eighth comb is for a lot of money, the nine combs are for joy and food, and the ten combs are free of taboos."

After the tenth comb, the dead little girl suddenly opened her eyes!

Chapter 312 : Weddings and weddings.

The four casual cultivators were watching intently, but they were taken aback when they saw this!

Two of the casual cultivators originally helped the little girl's parents out of the coffin to sit up according to the bereavement woman's request. Seeing this, they felt apprehensive, let go of their hands, and let her lie back in the coffin again.

Seeing this, the mourning woman's expression changed, and she blurted out: "Don't..."

Before the words fell, the two casual cultivators fell down straight without saying a word.

In an instant, he was already out of his wits.

The weeping woman's face changed drastically, her expression was terrified, and she hurriedly ordered the remaining two casual cultivators: "Quick! Help people up quickly, and start dressing, they can't lie down again."

The remaining two casual cultivators were shocked, and they didn't dare to neglect, they hurried forward and lifted the corpse in the coffin again.

They were shocked, angry and terrified in their hearts, Su Zhentian actually arranged such a terrible task for them!

"There are two people missing, let's hurry up." The weeping mourner's face was very ugly and she was also very scared. She hurriedly put on the big red wedding dress for the little girl. , took a foot-high jade vase with twined branches and flowers, put it in his arms, and then let her lie back in the coffin.

Immediately afterwards, she dressed up and changed the clothes for the little girl's parents in turn, but the parents were wearing water red.

After a lot of busy work, the mourning woman's forehead was covered with sweat, but she still directed the remaining two casual cultivators to help the fallen casual cultivators up, and dressed them up: "The souls that die in the house are the dowry."

"If you don't bring them along, the whole village will be cursed."

The two rogue cultivators who were still alive did not have any objections, and immediately followed suit. Whether the whole village is cursed or not has nothing to do with them.

Their fear was that if they did not, they would soon follow in the footsteps of their companions.

Moreover, the companions are all dead anyway, and it is useless to keep the corpses. It can give the living a little life, and it is not in vain to walk together...

At the gate of Lao Xu's house, the villagers arrived with eight casual practitioners.

These eight casual cultivators have different levels of cultivation, some are in the Qi training stage, and some are in the foundation building stage. At this moment, they all hold the same musical instrument in their hands, some are suona, some are gongs and drums, and some are pipa, flute, Xiao and so on.

The villagers who led the way had no intention of entering the door, and only told them: "After you go in, don't go to the back. It's in the main room. Every other stick of incense, you blow a stick of incense."

"After the inside comes out, the music can't stop."

"When the time comes, the mourning woman will tell you what to do."

As he spoke, he motioned for everyone to enter.

Seeing this, the rogue cultivators glanced at each other, pushed open the half-covered door, and walked into the simple main room. Because there were not enough tables and chairs, they let the three who were holding the pipa and the flute sit down, and the others stood and held the flute. The gong and drum beat first, and the others followed one after another.

These eight people all know some musical instruments. Although they may not be very outstanding, the control of the monk's physical body and the ability to learn common skills are far beyond the comparison of ordinary people.

Therefore, there were some stumbles at first, but they quickly coordinated, sobbing, and began to play dirges together.

The sound of mourning and music attracted many villagers to come out to watch the excitement.

These villagers didn't make any noise or coax them, they just stood outside the door, looking at them directly, with a dead silence in their eyes, very eerie.

They were obviously just mortals, but the casual cultivators were horrified when they saw them.

According to the instructions of the villagers who brought them here, once everyone played a stick of incense, they stopped for a while.Originally, this request was not difficult for mortals, but for monks, there should be no pressure.

But I don't know why, after playing a stick of incense, everyone feels exhausted physically and mentally, and even has the idea of ​​wanting to fall asleep immediately.Therefore, when it was time to rest, everyone immediately closed their eyes and rested their minds.

However, after a few rounds, when two casual cultivators were resting, they suddenly felt something behind them.

Looking back, it was the kitchen, but there was nothing unusual about it.

After several times in a row, the two casual cultivators suddenly stood up and walked towards the kitchen with a somewhat stiff figure...

They got up and walked in, and the others didn't care, they were still closing their eyes and meditating.

It's just that after the time for a stick of incense, everyone picked up the instruments and continued to play, only to find that the two people hadn't come back yet.

"What's going on?" Everyone was surprised, and they transmitted voices to each other, "Have they forgotten the time?"

"No!" Someone came to his senses and reminded everyone in a deep voice, "Even if you forget the time and hear the sound of gongs and drums outside, you should run back immediately... But look, are there any movements from them? There is a problem in the kitchen."

"The villager told us not to go to the back. It seems that not only the back, but also the kitchen."

"This village is very strange...Su Zhentian is not as kind as the rumored house. No wonder Qiao Zhenchuan has four junior sisters, but none of them are sent here..."

"No! It's also possible, this is not Fairy Qiao's order at all! From the beginning to the end, it was Fairy Yumeng who gave orders to us. We haven't seen Su Zhentian's disciple at all!"

※※※

At the same time, in the mansion in the east of the village, Fairy Yumeng came back from the outside in a hurry with her green silk like a waterfall and her skirt fluttering.

This time, the four casual cultivators who went to the funeral with the weeping woman were all arranged by her under the guise of Su Zhentian.In return, the mourning woman has promised to tell her the origin of the village after the funeral is over.

However, the weeping woman also said that the other party is not the village head, so the secrets she knows are limited, and the only one who really understands the situation is the village head.

For this reason, Fairy Yumeng went to the village chief again yesterday, and took over all the errands such as the drummer and the coffin bearer.

It's just that the village head is very tight-lipped, and always responds vaguely to Fairy Yumeng's cross-examination, unwilling to disclose information.

it's fine.

Anyway, those low-level casual cultivators have no other use, and there are so many of them, even if they can only test out the weirdness of the funeral, it is not a waste.

In addition, regarding the rules of this village, Shi Wanli has confirmed that "don't break into empty houses" is true.

Then other taboos, such as don't wear red at night, don't wear hairpins during the day... Now that sister Qiao Ciguang and Shi Wanli are away, I just find a few casual practitioners to test it out.

Thinking of this, Fairy Yumeng immediately called a few casual cultivators to follow her through voice transmission, left the house, and walked to a secluded place...

Mulberry Village.

Pei Ling had just cleaned up and opened the courtyard door, and saw a servant coming, bowed to salute, and said, "My lord, today is the big day for the young master's family, please come over and have a glass of thin wine."

"Okay." Pei Ling nodded, followed him, and walked towards the village chief's house.

At this moment, the whole village is decorated with lanterns and festoons, with red and green everywhere, looking beaming.

However, the red lanterns hanging along the way are all made of human bones and human skin, and even the burning candles inside are made of corpse oil.

Regarding this scene, Pei Ling walked quietly without any change on his face.

Besides him, there are still many villagers coming out of each house, greeting each other, and walking towards the village chief's house.

Obviously, in such a remote place, the prestige and status of the village head are extremely high. If he marries his son, the whole village must come to congratulate him.

Soon, seven pines and cypresses were in sight.

The vermilion lacquered door was already wide open at this moment, and the butler led a group of servants standing at the door, welcoming the endless stream of congratulatory guests with smiles on their faces.

Pei Ling was caught in the crowd, exchanged a few words with him, and then walked in.

Chapter 313 : Greeting on behalf of the relatives.

After entering, he originally wanted to find a seat in the corner to sit down, but just after entering the door, he was rushed to the main table and arranged at the most honored guest of honor.

Regarding this point, not only the village chief who was already present had no objection, but the surrounding villagers also took it for granted.

Pei Ling was suspicious, and looked around, but all he saw was a bunch of flowers, festive celebrations, and children running around playing and clamoring to see the bride.

All in all, except for some underworld furnishings made of human body materials, it seems that there is not much difference from ordinary weddings.

Just as he was pondering, the village chief suddenly leaned over and said, "My lord, the wedding will not start until some time ago, I wonder if you would like to meet my useless child?"

bridegroom?

In this Sang village, the most attention-grabbing thing right now is the wedding.

The groom is undoubtedly one of the two most important roles in the wedding.

Before the bride arrives, if you can meet her, you may be able to find some clues.

More importantly, he didn't dare to refuse the village chief's proposal at the moment...

Thinking of this, Pei Ling nodded and said, "Okay."

However, when the village head heard the news, he didn't ask someone to call the groom over, but apologized: "The dog is weak, and it's not easy to see the wind, so please move the young master to the inner room."

Hearing this, Pei Ling became vigilant, and immediately quietly took out the Void Sky Realm Seed, then stood up and followed the village chief into the room.
