Chapter 829: Mirror Space
The welcoming team beat gongs and drums all the way forward, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere was solemn as if they were in the mourning hall.
There are also many floating ghost spectators behind, silently following. Different from the bustle of the normal melon-eating crowd, these ghost spectators did not say a word, as if they were performing some kind of ritual.
The five members of the White Phoenix squad followed at the end of the melon-eating crowd. Bai Xiaowen also deliberately turned on the spirit scan and sensed it.
Qin Bing was not nearby, of course, it was also possible that the high-priority stealth state could not be detected.
Liujiatunzi is not big, and the greeting team blows and blows all the way, and soon arrives at the destination - a threshing floor.
On the side of the threshing floor, there are three or five families.
Bai Xiaowen paid attention to it, this is already a corner of the village, and it is also in line with the status of the Zhou family's outsiders.
In the greeting procession, a tall and thin villager who could vaguely see the appearance of the old gentleman floated forward and shouted:
"The auspicious time has come!"
"The bride gets on the sedan chair!"
The ghost greeting party parted from the crowd and rode in a simple red sedan chair, carried by four middle-aged villagers, to the door of one of the households.
Bai Xiaowen watched with insight, and found that whether it was the old gentleman or the villager who carried the sedan chair, they were all in a state of protection by the white stone, and they could not be selected as targets, that is, they could not be detected.
Yes, there is no way to make things happen now, just watch the show honestly.
The villagers who carried the sedan chair shouted several times, but the door of the house was closed and no one responded.
The old gentleman at the head said loudly: "There is no delay in the auspicious time, please bring the bride out!"
At the front of the greeting team, there were two middle-aged women holding signs of "greeting relatives" and "avoiding", dressed in red and bloated, and immediately rushed over when they heard the words, like two puffs of green smoke drifting into the closed door.
Subsequently, two women in red floated out first, and the figure wearing a big red suit and a red hijab on his head was dragged out, and at the end there were two mothers-in-law, and the four people in front and back were like escorts, bringing the bride in the big red suit to the sedan chair.
"The bride looks immobile, as if she is tied?" Li Shuyi's eyes were sharp.
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes. If you look closely, the bride's walking posture is indeed very strange.
The legs are not moving, floating on the ground, this is a common characteristic of all the villagers in Huaiwang Village, so let's not talk about it. But the bride's arms were clinging to her body, and no matter how she walked, she didn't move at all, as if there was an invisible rope binding her.
"It seems that this bride is the second sister of the Zhou family, and she looks very positive. Li Shuyi let out an oh hehe-hehe laugh.
"What do we do now?" asked Qiao Rui.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "I can't do it yet...... There are a lot of things I don't understand, such as whether this wedding scene happens every day, or does it happen on the day we enter? If it's the latter, it's a bit too much of a coincidence. And if it's the former...... It's even more incomprehensible. ”
Bai Xiaowen finally decided to wait and see, after all, the secret of the Phantom White Stone had not yet been solved, and everyone had almost no ability to kill these ghosts.
The bride was dragged into the sedan chair, and the greeting team blew and blew and disappeared at the intersection.
"Go to Zhou's house and find the fragments of the diary. Bai Xiaowen took his teammates and climbed into the courtyard wall of the bride's house.
The yard was empty, with a few ridges, which was probably where the Zhou family grew their own vegetables, but now it has long been deserted. There is an abandoned well next to the earthen ridge, and behind the well is an old stone mill.
Bai Xiaowen frowned slightly: "Is this the Zhou family?" It's a bit unlike, it's hard to imagine that an outsider who has been delegated will have such a thing as a stone mill. ”
Several of his teammates had separated from each other to search the yard, but no fragments of the diary had been found.
Suddenly, Qiao Rui spoke: "Captain, come and see, there is something abnormal here. ”
Bai Xiaowen walked over.
On the stone mill, there are two deep stains, as if they are deeply embedded in the stone, and they cannot be removed with time.
The point is that when you get close to the stone mill, you can smell a thick smell of blood.
"This should be bloodstains, but it has dried up like this, and there is such a heavy bloody gas, it is indeed abnormal......" Bai Xiaowen frowned, between the stone mill and the waste well, he also saw bloodstains, but the blood clot was relatively small.
Bai Xiaowen took a few steps back, looked at it, and said, "The second sister of the Zhou family should have been forcibly pulled out of the house. She was also really fierce, hit the stone mill first, didn't die, and jumped into the well again. I think there should be a harvest in the well, and I should go down to the well to see. ”
Li Shuyi shrank her head, and even Qiao Rui's face turned pale.
Han Xu said: "I'll go." ”
"No need. Bai Xiaowen waved his hand, and Kitts, who was wearing a noble dress, appeared.
"Kitts, go down and have a look. Bai Xiaowen chose a fixed-point airdrop, the target wellhead.
Kitts: "???"
A cough came from the well, and Kitts's voice rang out, "Boss, what are you doing, it's all ash in here." ”
"Did you find anything?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"Nothing. Kitts said.
Bai Xiaowen opened Kitts's shared vision, glanced around the well, and really couldn't see anything.
"Strange ......"
Bai Xiaowen frowned and thought, since the ghost bride jumped into the well, there should be something strange in the well.
Kitts turned into a swarm of bats and flew out of the waste well, slapping the dust on his body: "Strange to say...... Well, it seems to be a little cold down there, but I'm a vampire, and the temperature difference really doesn't make a difference. ”
"Maybe it's because you're a vampire, not a living person," Bai Xiaowen's eyes suddenly lit up, "It seems that you can't be lazy to use summoned creatures to explore the way, I'll go down and see for myself." ”
Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures are basically undead species, and Angry Claws are beasts, so it is difficult to trigger the strange places in the well.
"Xiaowen, be careful. Li Shuyi said.
"Well, this well in the yard is weird, and there is no other clue. Shuyi, you and Sister Qiao go to the Zhou family's house to look for it first. Old Han, you are at the mouth of the well, help me guard it. ”
After Bai Xiaowen finished speaking, he jumped into the well.
The wind howled, one second, two seconds, three seconds......
It hasn't landed yet.
Bai Xiaowen felt bad in his heart, when Kitts went down the well, he fell to the bottom, and the waste well was at most three or five meters deep. But now it seems that thirty or fifty meters can't be beaten!
Bai Xiaowen danced with his hands, trying to climb the wall of the well in the air, but he grabbed the air again and again.
"I'm not going to fall to my death, am I?"
Bai Xiaowen's fingers touched the Huicheng scroll, and at the same time he tried his best to open his eyes and look down.
There was a thick fog below, like a monster with its mouth wide open, and it was hard to see.
Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen's body was stunned, and he felt that his feet touched the ground, but there was no pain of falling from a height.
A clear feeling of weightlessness and dislocation came, and the next moment, Bai Xiaowen was already standing in a courtyard, looking confused.
Familiar stone mills, familiar wells, and familiar earthen walls.
"This is clearly the courtyard of the Zhou family...... Just now, I had the illusion that the world was turned upside down, like entering the world in a mirror, and I was on my head and feet for a moment. Then this courtyard, in the sense of space, should not be the courtyard where Han Xu is. ”
Bai Xiaowen sighed, fortunately, he was bold and had strong judgment, and he might not be able to slow down for a long time if he was someone else.
This mirror space is also a gray sky.
Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums came from far and near. Bai Xiaowen's face changed: "No, there is also a welcoming team here?"
Unlike the previous onlookers, Bai Xiaowen was in the courtyard this time and saw the situation in the bride's house.
With the shout of "auspicious time has come" outside, two stout mothers-in-law pushed open the courtyard door and came in. The door of the house was also opened, and the bride, dressed in a big red gown, was bound by ropes, and two stout women inside were also pushed and sent out.
"Hua Yurong, don't be in the midst of happiness and don't know the blessings, how many girls in this Liu family want to marry Da Liu? After you enter the door, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and you don't have to go to the field to earn work, and enjoy the leisure......"
Under the red hijab, a voice sounded:
"I see. Can you untie me?"
"Yo, this can't be done, in case you look for death and life again, what can we do. ”
"No, I've figured it out. Besides, if you are forcibly tied into a sedan chair, can your old Liu family afford to lose people?"
"That's the reason...... Okay, since Yurong has figured it out, I'll untie it for her, and I'll pass through the door smoothly with a kind ......"
Bai Xiaowen seemed to be a transparent person, and the stout ladies ignored him, and when he reached out to touch it, he only crossed the air, and the other party was just an illusion.
Soon, the rope was untied.
The bride in red ripped off her red hijab, revealing a pretty face with a little heroism. She snapped:
"I, Hua Yurong, am a ghost, and I won't marry the Liu family!"
The four mothers-in-law were stunned, and before they could speak, Hua Yurong rushed to the stone mill.
There was a mother-in-law standing on the road, and when she saw Hua Yurong coming fiercely, she subconsciously dodged away. Suddenly, the stone mill trembled, Hua Yurong's head was dripping with blood, and two blood stains splashed on the stone mill.
The greeting team outside the hospital seemed to hear the movement, and someone immediately followed, led by a middle-aged man wearing a felt hat, and said in a hurry: "What's the matter? Why do you still see blood......
The three mothers-in-law surrounded Hua Yurong, and they were all frightened.
"The master, this Hua Yurong said that she figured it out, so I untied the rope, who knew that she would hit her head......" The last mother-in-law, that is, the wife of the village chief Liu Fu, said in fear, "Fortunately, there are no dead people, you see that this matter is better ......"
The man in the felt hat was slightly stunned, and repeated: "You're not dead, are you?" His face quickly turned back to normal, and he snorted: "Isn't this not dead! Who are you scaring about? Let me tell you Hua Yurong, you must pass through the door today, you are a member of the old Liu family if you are alive, and you are a ghost of the old Liu family when you die!
Hua Yurong punched and kicked, and several stout mothers-in-law were pushed aside. As a large number of people and horses from the welcoming team rushed over, Hua Yurong suddenly screamed, rushed over, and jumped into the well.
