Chapter 76
Hearing this, Yunmian's originally expectant expression suddenly dimmed. She clenched her mother's slender fingers, puffed her cheeks and refused to speak.
It looked exactly like the ghost doll that was sulking in the corner before.
Seeing how sad his junior fellow apprentice was, Bingshen also thought of an idea: "Since Mianmian can't go in, why not let someone else or a ghost take us to the ghost world and give it a try?"
Yiqing shook his head and said helplessly, "If it were really that simple, it would be fine, but although the ghost world and the human world are in the same world, the rules and constraints are different. If a living person goes in, he will be devoured by the crowd. If a weak ghost goes in, he will probably be in trouble too."
Although ghosts are transformed from humans, humans cannot eat each other, but ghosts can. It's like big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps. There is a set of rules in the food chain. If you rush in without knowing anything, you will probably fall flat on your face.
"What should we do then?" Yu Anan looked up with distress, unable to help but feel bad for Yun Mian.
Yunmian was standing aside holding the ghost doll and holding her mother's hand, with her head hung, looking listless and pitiful.
Yiqing couldn't think of a better solution for a while, so he could only comfort his younger disciple first, and then continue to discuss with his older disciple about the person who burned talismans outside the main gate of the community last night.
They were thinking about how to lure out the ghost behind the scenes, but when night fell, they didn't have to rack their brains to think about it.
After facing a life-and-death crisis last night, Yiqing and Bingshen realized how much the two little guys attracted those ghosts when they were not in the Taoist temple.
However, the only thing they could be thankful for was that the amulet protection that was connected to Yu Anan's luck seemed to have rebounded after last night's crisis. It almost disappeared completely, but today it seemed to be more solid and reliable than it was a month ago.
It was as if she had survived this disaster and her luck began to shine.
In this way, her original fate was once again well hidden by the amulet, and now Yunmian became the most dangerous person.
Yiqing also wanted to make a similar talisman or magic tool for Yunmian that could conceal the golden light of merit, but the world is so big and merit is the hardest to come by, let alone something that could specifically conceal merit. For a moment, he was at a loss.
So he simply took advantage of the bright sunshine during the day and decorated the room with his eldest disciple. Finally, he solemnly placed the small statue of the ancestor there, and asked Yunmian and Yu Anan to burn incense and kowtow to the ancestor together. Only then did he feel a little more at ease.
Regardless of the distant future, at least we should spend this night in peace.
But accidents and unexpected events always come unexpectedly.
In the middle of the night, Yun Mian, who had been sleeping uneasily to begin with, frowned and opened her eyes uncomfortably.
There were many shadows standing outside the window. I didn't know which street outside the community was coming from which extremely festive suona sounds, singing, reciting, and playing. Even with my eyes closed, I could tell that this was a song played for a wedding.
What made people's backs chill was that these cheerful and festive sounds seemed to be advancing neither fast nor slow. In a trance, Yun Mian could hear them more and more clearly, as if the wedding procession would appear at the gate of the community or outside the window of her bedroom in the next second.
Yun Mian subconsciously touched the jade pendant on her chest, but was surprised to find it empty.
The empty touch made her look down suddenly, but she saw another herself sleeping peacefully on the pillow with her eyes closed. Yu Anan, who felt insecure, was curled up and clinging tightly to "herself".
This weird and strange scene made the brave Yun Mian stunned for a long time. She reached out to touch the "self" on the bed in a trance, but the thin and short fingers went straight through her body, as if she touched nothing.
Yun Mian was completely stunned.
She even saw Uncle System squatting on a piece of talisman paper, as if he was sleeping very soundly, and the changes happening here did not alarm him at all.
"Uncle System?" Yun Mian tried to call it.
There was no response, as if she was suddenly blocked by the world and no one could hear her voice.
Yun Mian was finally a little panicked now, and she tried to fish out the jade pendant on "her" chest.
Fortunately, this time she actually pinched it, and the next second both the mother and the ghost doll appeared in mid-air.
The two ghosts seemed to be frightened by the "two Yunmian". The ghost dolls didn't even dare to come over to bite her fingers for a while. They just stared at her blankly, then lowered their heads to look at Yunmian on the bed, ran over and tried to push her twice.
No movement.
Even Yu Anan, who was always timid, insecure and easily startled, did not react at all.
Yun Jinli floated in front of Yun Mian, and Yun Mian subconsciously grabbed her mother's fingers.
Based on this one action, the ghost doll immediately identified who the real Yunmian was, and it hurriedly came over, pointing at Yunmian on the bed and silently asked her what was going on.
Yunmian hugged it in confusion and was thinking silently when the sound of suona, which was originally quite far away in her ears, became closer and closer.
Originally it was an extremely festive and joyful song, but this is a modern society and such ancient wedding scenes are rarely seen anymore, let alone in the middle of the night. Listening to it always sounds a bit eerie and chilly, and gives me goose bumps.
Yun Mian didn’t understand any of this, but when she tilted her head slightly, she discovered that outside the window that was sealed with talisman paper by her master and senior brothers, there were countless long, deep red shadows floating in the air, as dark and ghostly as ghosts.
Yun Mian opened her eyes slightly because she found that these ghost shadows were different from yesterday.
Their pale faces were painted with exaggerated makeup, and all of them maintained the same exaggerated and stiff smile on their pale ghost faces, looking at her strangely through the window.
Yunmian: “…”
The little girl, who had always been brave and daring, was so scared this time that she hid behind her mother for a long time and didn't dare to stick her head out.
But the joyful suona sound was stretched out particularly sharp and long in the empty and quiet night, swaying like spider silk that wrapped around the cloud cotton in circles, so that she could do nothing even if she covered her ears.
Getting closer.
A bright red sedan chair also appeared in the night sky outside. The curtains of the sedan chair were opened, and several ghosts carrying the sedan chair also stared at Yun Mian with a sinister smile through the window.
It seemed like he was waiting for her to go out and then carry her away.
"——Please get the bride into the sedan!!!" The matchmaker ghost with a painted face had deep cracks at the corners of her mouth, and her voice was so sharp and long that it made people feel uncomfortable.
Yunmian: “…”
She felt a little panicked.
Originally, I was not afraid of any people or ghosts. After all, my mother was a ghost, and ghosts were transformed from humans. There was nothing to be afraid of.
But... the current situation was so weird inside and out, just like the craziest and most absurd dream. Yun Mian swallowed her saliva, hugged the ghost doll which was also frightened, shrank her body and tried to hide behind her mother.
So scary!!!
The little kid, who was facing Chinese horror for the first time, accidentally looked down and saw "himself" sleeping peacefully on the bed. His eyes turned red with fear and he almost cried on the spot.
Wuuuuuuuu mommy, help!
Perhaps sensing Yun Mian's fear, Yun Jinli, who had been staring blankly at his fellow humans outside, suddenly moved.
She rushed out straight away, with a ferocious ghost aura all over her body, and without saying a word, in front of a group of ghosts welcoming the bride, she raised her hand and tore the matchmaker ghost, whose laughter was creepy and whose voice was even creepier, into pieces.
Even the remaining ghost energy of the opponent was devoured by her, leaving not a single bit of life for the opponent.
The joyful suona sound suddenly stopped.
Countless ghosts with stiff smiles turned their heads and looked at their fellow who rushed out.
Yunmian hid behind the curtains and whispered encouragement to her mother together with the little ghost doll, and was ready to rush out to help her mother fight at any time.
Although the aura of these ghosts seemed not as strong as her mother's, Yun Mian was afraid and would never let her mother fight alone!
Just as she was thinking about it, a pair of icy cold hands suddenly appeared behind her neck, grabbed the back of her neck and threw her out of the window easily.
Yunmian: "——Mom, help me!!!"
Yun Mian, who was forced to experience the feeling of jumping from a building for the first time, was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly. Her hands and feet fluttered in the air for a long time, but she only heard the sound of Xile again.
"Let's go. Sister will take you to the ghost world and broaden your horizons." A familiar female ghost appeared behind her, and Yun Jinli's soul was easily subdued.
Only when she sat in the swaying sedan chair did Yun Mian stay close to her mother, staring vigilantly at the female ghost who also sat in.
As if amused by her vigilant look, the ghost girl stretched out her slender fingers, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and leisurely admired the scenery outside, while casually asking Yun Mian: "Little guy, do you know where this is?"
Hearing this, Yun Mian looked outside.
The sky was gloomy and filled with blood mist and deathly aura. There was a dim and unclear moon hanging in the sky, but there was no light around and no tall buildings. The only thing that was quiet was the endless festive suona sounds that could be heard faintly from afar.
Yunmian pursed her lips, held her mother's hand tighter, and replied softly: "Is it the ghost world?"
The female ghost raised her eyebrows in surprise, a little surprised: "Hey, the little fool has become smarter?"
Yun Mian heard her little slander and ridicule, but did not refute her as directly as before. Instead, she held the ghost doll and its mother very tightly, fearing that they would be lost and never found again if she was not careful.
The little unlucky guy is Yunmian, and the big unlucky guy is Guiwang.
