Chapter 42: Red and White Celebrations
I have long heard that in the ghost world, there is also a saying of marrying. The welcoming team set off from the underground, borrowed the world, and then returned to Huangquan.
At this moment, this powerful formation must have been laid by this group of ghosts, and in order to avoid the living, a kissing ceremony was held. And they are inadvertently taking their way.
Ji Changkong couldn't help frowning, in this way, things would be a lot more troublesome.
If it's a formation of other things, it's okay to say, follow the people in the formation, and you can go out of the formation directly. But the ghosts come from underground, and the path they take is naturally to the Yellow Spring of Hell, and now, if they find the people in the formation, they can't follow them. Therefore, if you want to return to the world, you can only find the eye of the formation and break out of the formation.
In fact, he should have thought that this array was different from what he had seen before. The demon smoke in the array was everywhere, and everything was silent, and the whole environment was gloomy like a ghost domain. Except for the underground, no one likes this arrangement.
Jingwu looked to the right at the group of relatives, and then to the left at the group of funeral people, and wondered: "This kissing is a happy event, and the funeral is a funeral. ”
Ji Changkong didn't have the same thoughts about this as he did at all, and said lightly: "They are all dead people, what is unlucky." ”
Keigo thought about it and was relieved, "Yes." "Everyone is dead, no matter how unlucky it is, what can it be, is it possible to die again. Thinking like this, another question suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly turned to Ji Changkong: "Then since they are all dead, why is this funeral?" Who is buried? ”
Only then did Jing Wu realize that since Fang Cai, Ji Changkong's gaze had been on the group of ghosts who had sent them to the funeral, and he had never left.
Hearing his words, Ji Changkong's expression was grim, and he said, "I don't know." But my gut tells me that there must be something wrong with them, be careful. ”
I have heard people talk about this ghost marrying relatives, but this ghost is unheard of for funeral. When things go wrong, there must be oddities.
At this moment, the locator in Jingwu's sleeve suddenly jumped wildly, and he wanted to jump out by himself several times. Keigo felt strange and took it out of his sleeve and held it in his hand. I saw that the pointer on the locator flickered left and right, swaying, no direction, no different from before. He slapped it in his palm a few times, and said in disgust: "This thing is really broken, throw it away when you go back." ”
Ji Changkong glanced at the thing and said, "It's not broken, and the direction indicated is also correct." In this array, there are indeed two formations, one left and one right. ”
Jingwu's heart was shocked, two arrays! Sure enough, it was a ghost who acted, and everything did not follow common sense. It's no wonder that the locator was inaccurate before, and the source of the spell pathfinder could not be found. This formation was already powerful, and the superposition of the two formations made its strength increase several times. But this is the first time the two have seen each other.
He jerked his head to see the two groups of people at either end of the long street. At this time, the team was getting closer and closer to them, and they could vaguely see through the fog that in the back of the two teams, each with several ghosts carrying something. One red, one white.
Jingwu was surprised: "Could it be ......?"
Ji Changkong said: "Yes, the eyes of the array are the sedan chair and the coffin they carried." ”
As we all know, ghosts are transformed by death. So, in a sense, people and ghosts are of the same origin. Naturally, these happy events and funerals are not much different from those in the world. It's just that after becoming a ghost, without constraints, many more elaborate ghosts will do these things more gorgeously and exquisitely, but they are still not as good as they are in front of them.
A sedan chair, carried by sixteen ghosts. The sedan chair has no top, the head of the sedan chair is the head of the golden eagle, the sedan body is the eagle spreading its wings, a feather is carved in great detail, and the wide sedan face almost occupies the whole street. The bride on the sedan chair is sitting in a precarious position, with red makeup and red yarn, and the phoenix crown on her head is full of light, which is extremely extravagant.
It's just that the distance is still far away, the white mist is filled, and the bride hides her face with a red veil, so she can't see her appearance clearly.
Looking at the group of ghosts who were playing, singing, and jumping around, Jingwu couldn't help but be a little curious, what kind of appearance the bride on this sedan chair was, so that this ghost groom could marry so much.
Looking at the other side, although the nature of the ritual is completely opposite, the degree of extravagance is not inferior to that of the other party, or even more so.
Eight ghosts are clustered in front of each other and behind a huge crystal ice coffin, and the outer wall of the coffin is carved with various patterns, all of which are rare exotic flowers and plants in the world. Regardless of the carving, the materials used to make this coffin alone are difficult for many people and gods to buy.
Jingwu couldn't help but sigh that the main owners of these two families were rich people. It's a shame to do that.
After feeling sorry for these two ghost masters who spent a lot of money, Keigo pulled his mind back to business. These two things are the eyes of the formation, and we have to find a way to break them. So he asked Ji Changkong: "Then what now?" ”
Ji Changkong said: "Observe first, and act when the opportunity arises." Keigo nodded in agreement.
The two teams walked in opposite directions, and with the heavier and heavier fog, the sound of gongs and drums resounded in the sky finally came to them.
The greeting team and the funeral party collided together, and such a thing actually happens occasionally in the world. There is only one way, and who gives way first often becomes an important reason for disputes between the two teams.
Sure enough, the two groups of ghosts stopped when they were two feet away from each other, looked at the people in the way on the opposite side, and glared angrily.
They were ghosts, and they were already terrible-looking, with white faces, blue and red eyes, and indistinguishable whether their lips were purple or black. What's more, the unofficial is blurred, and it should be the one with an extremely ugly appearance. At this moment, if the living see it, they will definitely be frightened and go out of the body directly.
A ghost wearing a top hat led by the greeting team shouted: "Get out of the way on the other side, don't delay my master's good day." ”
Not to be outdone, the funeral party walked out of the group of ghosts and said, "You guys should get out of the way quickly, don't get in our way." ”
The arrogance of the two is higher than the other, and neither of them will give in.
I don't know if it's because they've been dead for too long, and their tongues have hardened and can't be straightened. Jingwu always felt that when they spoke, there was always a little "woo...... Ahhh
Ji Changkong took a step back and stood directly under the eaves of the family on the side. Jingwu also stood up with him, and whispered: "Looking at this posture, it is estimated that we will fight, and when they fight, we will take advantage of the chaos to find a way to break the formation." ”
Ideally, everything is beautiful, but a ghost is a ghost, and unreasonable is inertia.
The two of them were waiting for the two groups of ghosts to fight, so they could take advantage of the situation and break the formation and leave. Who knows, after the two ghosts negotiated a few words, they found that they couldn't talk, and they didn't move quietly, and they didn't mean to do anything at all.
Jingwu was wondering, but the two groups of ghosts suddenly looked at them together, their faces and tone were not good, and they shouted, "Hey, over there." ”
I thought they were hiding in the thick fog, and as long as they didn't make a sound, the ghosts wouldn't be able to spot them. It turns out that this is someone's formation, and no matter where you hide, it is no different from running in front of his eyes.
Keigo pointed at himself and smiled awkwardly, "Are you calling me?" ”
The two ghosts said in unison: "Yes, it's you." And the one next to you, hurry up! ”
