Chapter 99: Drinking, is it a wedding wine or a funeral wine?



Although others wanted to find out something, they could only communicate in low voices.

"Xingmiao, what exactly does this mean?"

"Why do these people seem so happy?"

"Are you asking us to come here to eat? Is this edible?"

Several people expressed doubts and seemed a little uneasy.

Gu Xingmiao also lowered her voice: "...This should be a wedding."

The new generation of people in the future will understand the word "marriage".

So this is how people in ancient times got married. It's so ceremonial, yet it feels a bit weird.

Soon, Gu Xingmiao's next sentence answered their doubts.

"But it's a marriage between a dead person and a living person."

Qi Buyan, Qi Bufan, the beginning of the month is cool:?

“???”

"??? That's the most unlikely answer."

"It's actually a ghost marriage. I saw a ghost marriage? That's it? This??"

"Although ghost marriages were popular in the Tang Dynasty, this kind of ghost marriage held in the ghost market is really outrageous." Old Zhang frowned even more, looking at these busy people who seemed to be supporting roles.

But those who can appear in the live broadcast all have their own identities and meaning of existence.

Others didn't know the depth of Gu Xingmiao's heart, but they could tell from Gu Xingmiao's slightly solemn expression that this was not a good place.

"The Hongmen Banquet." Old Zhang shook his head slightly.

"But didn't Wong Tai Sin No. 2 say that this place is an illusion?" someone raised the doubt in his heart.

"It's an illusion and it's not an illusion. At least these illusions must have a source." Old Zhang sighed slightly and sat down. He looked a little tired while watching the live broadcast.

He pushed his glasses up and flipped through the documents with his slightly wrinkled old hands.

Although the cultural relics do not reflect the specific history of ghost marriages.

But if the ghost marriage in the Tang Dynasty was a death, the person getting married also had to die, and the two were buried in the same place.

Then perhaps among the many ancient tombs excavated, there are tombs of ghost marriages.

It’s just that modern people don’t know it.

"The artifact that Gu Xingmiao obtained should be able to function, right? It can't be that these artifacts are just artifacts. But if that Tang Chijin Walking Dragon can function... it can't be that it turns into a real dragon, right?"

Speaking of this, the man became a little excited.

After all, who among the Chinese doesn’t look forward to the dragon?

Even if it is the appearance of the artifact in the future——

But since myths exist, dragons must be real too; it’s a pity that although they had seen many strange monsters in the mythological copies before, they had not seen Zhulong.

Gu Xingmiao dipped his fingers in the wine and smelled the scent of rice wine.

Her index finger gently wrote strokes on the table. Her companions couldn't understand it, and Wong Tai Sin No. 2 couldn't understand it even more.

"What are you doing?" Wong Tai Sin No. 2.

Gu Xingmiao said calmly: "Playing tricks."

Wong Tai Sin No. 2: “…”

Isn't this answer a bit too plain? I haven't even started to act mysterious yet, and this human is actually starting to act mysterious.

You can act like a ghost here without worrying about being killed by the people in the mansion.

The bride, covered with a red veil, got down from the bridal sedan chair, and a slender hand stretched out from inside, but the bride's hand was also very pale. Under the big red veil, the golden silk necklace hung and swayed, interweaving to make a crisp sound.

The bridesmaid helped the bride out of the sedan chair and stepped onto the blanket that had been laid out earlier.

The path that the bride had to pass was right beside Gu Xingmiao, and when the bride passed by, Gu Xingmiao clearly smelled a strong scent of rouge powder, the scent was so strong that it choked her nose——

It's like trying to cover up something.

But no one around noticed.

Gu Xingmiao's fingertips trembled slightly, pressing down the little finger whose nerves were throbbing.

The tip of her tongue touched her teeth lightly.

As the red veil fluttered, Gu Xingmiao vaguely saw the pale face inside, with only the mouth painted bright red and tender.

Gu Xingmiao originally thought that the groom was not a human, but now he suddenly realized that it seemed that the bride was not a human——

In other words, although the bride is getting married, it is the man who is actually having the ghost marriage.

"Bow to Heaven and Earth..."

"Bow to your parents..."

"The couple bows to each other..."

The crowd gathered, and the voices of congratulations continued, making the scene more lively and festive. The ladies and officials who gathered around had smiles of congratulations on their faces, while Gu Xingmiao and others stood at the back.

But Gu Xingmiao still felt a chill on his back.

"It's so scary. It's clearly a ghost marriage, but everyone's expressions seem so normal."

"Whether it's ruining the marriage of either the man or the woman, marrying a dead person is feudal superstition! These people are simply crazy. Are they treating people as commodities?"

"That's certainly true in ancient times. The upper class would choose ghost marriages for profit. Of course, being able to marry while still alive is best, but in ancient times, accidents were as easy as drinking water... Sometimes, ghost marriages were arranged to strengthen the relationship."

The purpose of the crowd is to learn about history and obtain old items.

But it is not about participating in a ghost marriage and getting old things.

If the old things here can last for a long time, they dare not use them. At least this is the consensus of several people.

Huang Daxian No. 2 was still making sarcastic remarks: "I told you to be cautious when entering here. This is an illusion. Once you enter the core, you can't leave."

"Who set up this illusion?" Gu Xingmiao.

Wong Tai Sin No. 2: "...Don't look at me, I really don't know this!"

"Why would I lie to you? You've forced me to stay here. If my life wasn't in your hands, I would have left long ago."

There are never clear instructions for completing the copy.

You will never be told what old things you will get in the copy, or even what you might get, or you may get nothing and suffer in vain.

Just as a series of ancient wedding ceremonies began inside and even the banquet started outside, everyone reluctantly returned to their seats, but they did not touch the food on top.

"...Is this really edible?" Qi Bufan swallowed.

It smelled nice, but he didn't dare.

A light flashed in Qi Buyan's eyes, and when he saw Gu Xingmiao remained silent, he also did not pick up his chopsticks. Yue Chuliang sat quietly beside him like an invisible person.

The coldness of the few people was a bit too abrupt, and soon someone in charge came over with a smile and asked what happened.

He expressed concern and asked why you didn't eat.

Just when the atmosphere was about to cool down, Gu Xingmiao spoke up: "Let's eat now. It's so delicious. We want to appreciate your cuisine."

The manager understood and after thinking about it, he temporarily withdrew.

Gu Xingmiao knew that he had to eat it, but this was not the way to eat it.

"Ayue, please help me block it." Gu Xingmiao said.
