Jiang Li was a little confused. This was the famous Red Evil, and it was the Red Evil in the illusion of the underworld. Usually, this kind of scene meant a great disaster, so he usually chose to take a detour.
If I run over now, wouldn't that be throwing myself into trouble? "Just follow me."
The monk who did not want to reveal his name did not seem afraid and brought Jiang Li closer to the happy team.
Next to the wedding team, there was a ghost dressed as a butler with a slicked-back hair and powdered face, who was holding a gong and beating it quickly.
"Porters! We still need ten more! Strong and healthy people born in the year of the ox or horse, please come."
He shouted this loudly while knocking on his mouth.
The monk grabbed Jiang Li, pushed aside a group of ghosts, and squeezed forward.
"Here, here, there are two!"
He actually wanted to take Jiang Li to do some short-term work in this Hongsha team.
He still held two coins in his hand, and after approaching, he stuffed them directly into the butler's hand. It is not an exaggeration to say that money can make the devil work.
The butler ghost took the coins, glanced at them, then walked forward and touched around. No one knew what he touched out, but two of them stood out and were selected to join the team.
"Well, you're pretty strong. Come on over. You go and carry the sedan chair."
Perhaps it was because the sword cultivator's clone had previously absorbed the flesh and blood of the Rakshasa Black Dragon, and his body looked strong and powerful, so he was chosen to be a sedan bearer.
The man also picked up a shoulder pole and prepared to run to the side to pick up the goods. Before they parted, he whispered some instructions to him.
"Don't look at anything or say anything. Just get on the sedan chair and go forward. We'll be done with each other once we get into the city."
After saying that, he didn't even look at Jiang Li, ran to the side, and skillfully picked up two baskets of gold ingots.
This was indeed his idea. He mixed into the team and followed them into the city.
This idea is quite interesting. After a person dies and turns into a ghost, he or she will often repeat something he or she did in life.
This wedding procession will most likely appear every day.
If the big ghost in the caravan is powerful enough, even Fengdu will give it face, and the people in the caravan will naturally not need to pay the city entry tax and can enter directly.
But is this really safe? Jiang Li still had some doubts. But things have come to this point, and it's just a clone anyway. Even if it's really unlucky, the loss is still acceptable.
He controlled his clone and came to the red sedan chair carried by eight people.
"Hey, new guy, stand in front. Remember to lie down and help the lady to stand on your feet later."
It is true that no matter whether you are a human or a ghost, there is always a world of martial arts.
Even when carrying a sedan chair, they have to distinguish between high and low ranks.
Jiang Li glanced at the big man who was talking. His face was full of flesh and he looked ferocious. From the uncontrollable black energy on his ghost body, it was clear that this guy had probably killed many people in his lifetime.
If you don't use your own spiritual energy or your flying sword, it will be difficult to resolve.
But at this time it was Jiang Li's real body that was controlling this body. The high-purity Nine Ghost Spirit Qi originally came from the underworld and was more authentic than this group of ghosts.
In addition, he has another power that lets ghosts know that he is not someone to be trifled with.
Jiang Li smiled and took two steps forward. A bloody aura mixed with the nine ghost auras condensed in his hands. He walked closer and slapped him.
The sturdy ghost was knocked to the ground on the spot, half of his cheek had disappeared, and he was in a daze and almost was beaten to pieces by Jiang Li.
"I have the final say here! You stand in front. Remember to lie down and hold the lady's feet later!"
A slap made the truth clear. Jiang Li stood at the right rear, the most relaxed position. The left front, the position where he needed to lie down and stand on his feet, was given to the other party.
The small conflict between the sedan bearers did not attract much attention. Only one supervisor saw the ghost with half of his face missing lying on the ground and was lazy. He came up and whipped him twice to wake him up.
There were quite a few ghosts who wanted to join the wedding team, and with the summons of the gong, it was soon full.
The ghost that looked like a butler produced a large amount of paper clothes from somewhere.
They were thrown into the air and burned, and the motley crowd soon turned into a festive red.
Even Jiang Li's clone was instantly covered with a red coat.
Don't be fooled by the fact that it's made of paper. But it looks pretty real.
This ability to change paper into paper leather is quite convenient. When Jiang Li has time in the future, he plans to learn it.
"The auspicious time has arrived, bring the sedan chair!"
Jiang Li and seven other sedan bearers put their shoulders on the crossbar, and with just a little effort the sedan was lifted up.
It was very light and there seemed to be no one on it.
I don't know where this "young lady" who is getting married comes from. I hope she can really bring a whole sedan chair team into the city.
The wedding procession began to play music with gongs and drums, but did not go directly to Fengdu City. Instead, they took a detour in another direction.
Not far away, in a sea of red spider lilies, another sedan chair was seen.
The sedan chair was placed alone in the sea of flowers, but it was very lively inside.
From the sedan came the sound of laughter from the women inside.
"Miss, the auspicious time has come."
The slicked-back butler came closer and gave a reminder.
The laughter of the woman inside gradually stopped.
"knew."
The female voice turned cold, followed by the man's painful wail.
After a moment, the curtain of the sedan chair in the sea of flowers was lifted, and a red shadow flew out from it, transforming into a phoenix wedding dress in the air. Then Jiang Li felt that the eight-man sedan chair sank slightly, and the female ghost had already rushed in.
Through the curtain on the opposite side that had not yet fallen, he could see a corpse lying outside that had just been sucked dry.
This is obviously another cultivator who came from the outside world. However, he dared to believe in love luck in a place like this. He really thought he was living a life of despair.
He also noticed that the sedan chair opposite was in tatters for some reason, with many fresh knife marks on it.
After picking up the young lady, the convoy finally turned and began to enter the city. The guards guarding the city seemed to be used to seeing this wedding party and directly made way for them.
Without any hindrance, they entered Fengdu City.
Fengdu City is not that prosperous if you want to say it.
What surprised Jiang Li was that there were ruins everywhere, as if it had been struck by a divine punishment.
There are quite a few ghosts hammering and banging in the ruins, trying to repair the collapsed buildings.
There are also a few areas where houses have been rebuilt, but the architectural style is quite different from that of the current mortal world.
The age here seems to be much older.
The wedding procession advanced through the ruins.
It didn't take long to reach our destination.
But the wedding house is not as decorated and festive as imagined.
There were only two unlit red lanterns hanging above the tall gate and courtyard.
After the sedan chair was carried into the gate, it was decorated in a mournful white.
In front of the hall opposite the door, there is a large coffin that is big enough for two people to be buried together.
No need to guess, it turns out this is a spiritual marriage.
This is what I saw along the way as I came here from Jiang Li’s sedan chair.
This female ghost must have been a daughter of a wealthy family. During her wedding, the wedding procession was robbed by criminals and the daughter was humiliated.
Later, the man's wedding party arrived and took her back to the mansion, only to find out that they were going to have a spiritual marriage. The husband she was about to marry was actually a dead man!
How despairing this experience must be.
It was this resentment that caused her to turn into a powerful ghost after her death, and grow all the way to her current level as the Ghost King.
It’s just the sadness of a ghost that even until her death she is experiencing the day before her death over and over again.
This cruel custom attracted Jiang Li's attention. But he did not notice that a monk who did not want to reveal his name quietly left after putting down his shoulder pole and basket.
"Hey, I've already brought you in, so you can't blame me for what happens next."
He looked back at Jiang Li, but without any intention of warning him. He just quickly disappeared around the corner.
Jiang Li and other casual workers were led to the side hall, where each of them was given a bowl of tea and a purple coin.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Jiang Li took a sip. This tea was just a simple tea made from forget-me-nots. It had no real effect. This made Jiang Li a little disappointed. The coin was the same as the one the monk gave him before, but he didn't know what its purchasing power was.
In the mourning hall over there, the spiritual marriage was still going on as planned.
Jiang Li looked around the side hall, trying to find the monk who brought him into the city, only to find that the monk had disappeared.
Is this already running ahead of time? Why is it running so fast?
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.
Why does this wedding team have to recruit new people every time? Does it mean that something unexpected will happen every time they are sent? Wait, that greasy-haired butler seems to be missing too! This... I am careless. If I wait any longer, the situation may be a little bad.
He wanted to leave, but found that the threshold of the side hall was made of a special wood and was extra high.
This is a prison method specifically for the dead.
If I don't recover my living state, my legs will not be able to move forward no matter what.
Should he return to being alive? If he did, he would immediately become the target of public criticism in this ghost town.
But if I don’t escape from here, I will die sooner or later.
There is still hesitation here, but it is obviously too late.
Boom! The sound of the coffin exploding caused the peaceful atmosphere here to take a sharp turn for the worse.
The sky was filled with negative energy that enveloped the entire compound. The hatred mixed with the negative energy proved that this female ghost, even though she had experienced this day countless times, still could not suppress the despair and hatred in her heart.
She was about to start the slaughter! The two ghosts in the mourning hall who played the role of the spirit marriage in-laws suffered bad luck immediately.
The female ghost vented all her anger on them, but compared to the powerful Ghost King, an ordinary haunted house was as fragile as a soap bubble.
They were simply unable to withstand the wrath of the bride ghost and were reduced to ashes in an instant.
The other ghosts in the house had already left in advance.
The Hanayome Demon King temporarily lost her mind and only wanted to kill everything in the house. She turned around and looked towards the side hall where Jiang Li and other temporary workers were.
Theoretically, all the people they played were actually accomplices. A terrible atmosphere immediately enveloped the house.
At this moment, two living people suddenly appeared in the room.
Even Jiang Li couldn't help but be surprised. It turned out that there were two monks hiding in this team.
But at this moment, they obviously lost their patience. They ran out of the side hall, used magic weapons to summon a large amount of fog to cover their figures, and then fled without stopping.
The ghost girl was too strong, and they didn't have much confidence to fight her. But these crazy ghosts were usually controlled by obsession.
If her obsession was to kill everyone in the house, perhaps she could escape by leaving the house.
Both of them have reached the Nascent Soul stage, and their strength is very strong.
It was just a house that was neither too big nor too small, but they ran out faster than an ordinary person could blink an eye.
But their calves disappeared the moment before they took a step forward.
Then the black hair wrapped around them and pulled them towards the mourning hall little by little.
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, where are you going?"
The Bride Ghost King was still trapped in his obsession and regarded these two Nascent Soul cultivators as his own parents-in-law.
The two Nascent Souls were also unlucky. With their cultivation strength, if they were placed in the outside world, they would be guests no matter where they went.
But now, he died here so easily.
Jiang Li wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but when he walked to the door again, he found that he could not leave.
The female ghost wrapped the entire house with a layer of red gauze.
No matter how he attacked, he couldn't damage the veil at all.
The level difference is so huge that even the main body is of no help here.
In just a few breaths, the Nascent Soul's screams completely disappeared.
That boundless murderous intent once again enveloped the side hall.
The red veil was lifted, and then countless black hair rushed in like a wave.
All the ghosts in the room were pierced with holes and turned into ashes.
This group of unlucky temporary workers had just received today's salary and had sneaked into Fengdu City. They thought they had made a fortune, but they didn't expect to find themselves in such a dead end in the blink of an eye.
Under the tactics of the Flower Bride Demon King, none of the ghosts present could defeat him.
Only a dead body lying on the ground, without even a soul in its body, escaped this disaster.
The rampant black hair cleaned up the entire house.
After an unknown amount of time, Hanayome Ghost King regained consciousness, and her subordinates, including the greasy-haired butler, entered the house to clean up the mess.
"Hey, this body is in good condition. Put it away and put it in the coffin. It can be used as a groom tomorrow."
The body of the sword cultivator's clone was carried by two ghosts into the coffin in the mourning hall. The previous body had already been torn into pieces by the bride ghost king.
The buildings in the house were quickly repaired, and after leaving two ghosts to guard the body, they all left.
They also have to prepare for tomorrow's spiritual marriage.
After an unknown amount of time, the sword cultivator's clone in the coffin suddenly opened his eyes.
He briefly felt around the body. Fortunately, the body did not suffer any serious injuries.
Just now, Jiang Li pulled the first parallel consciousness directly back to the main body consciousness sea for refuge.
Anyway, given the situation at the time, I couldn't run away, and I couldn't fight back. So I might as well pretend to be dead as thoroughly as possible.
The body is dead, and the soul should not be retained.
If he was still torn to pieces, he could only consider himself unlucky.
Fortunately, his luck was always good. A simple corpse did not attract the attention of the Hanayome Demon King, and he successfully escaped.
After waiting blindly for a long time, the parallel consciousness was transmitted again, but it was not discovered immediately.
But what is the situation now? (End of this chapter)
