The purpose of their trip was a town called Wan Gu Town. Before they arrived at the town, looking down from a high altitude, they could already see clusters of demonic energy covering the town.
"Such a strong demonic energy, everyone be careful!"
Demonic energy usually contains poison. People with low cultivation level cannot resist it at all.
When they arrived in Wangu Town, they found that the streets were deserted and there was not a single ghost in sight.
There was only the sound of the wind blowing.
"Where are Senior Sister Yunshuang and the others?"
They left first and should have reached Wangu Town long ago, but at this time they did not sense any trace of anyone from the Immortal Sect.
The whole town was gray and lifeless, and all the houses were closed even in broad daylight.
Just when everyone was confused and surprised, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from the front, and a wedding procession appeared in front of them.
"Is there anyone getting married today?"
Ling Xuewei looked around vigilantly and found that when the sound of gongs and drums sounded, the doors of every household that were originally closed were opened at this time.
People also came out of the houses one after another, as if they wanted to see the grand scale of the wedding procession.
"Old man, which family is getting married today?"
Ling Xuewei hurried forward to ask.
"You...are you from the immortal sect?" The old man did not answer her, but asked instead.
Ling Xuewei glanced at the people behind her; they all seemed to be attracted by the wedding.
"Yeah, has anything happened in this town?"
There were so many people, but they all hid at home and didn't come out. Only when the wedding procession came out did they come out one after another.
It seems a bit weird no matter how you look at it.
"Today is the day when Mr. Zhang's son is getting married in our town, and he has specially invited everyone in the town to attend the banquet and have a drink."
"Before you, there were immortals here."
Ling Xuewei's expression changed. Could it be Senior Sister Yunshuang?
"Then where are they now?" As long as Senior Sister Yunshuang and the others are found, this mission should be completed quickly.
"Haha, they have already gone to Mr. Zhang's house to attend the wedding banquet. Immortal, you should go too. Mr. Zhang is a great philanthropist in our town."
"There's a banquet right after we got down the mountain. It would be a shame not to go!"
"That's right, old man, why are you still standing there? Lead the way!"
The disciples of other sects seemed to be unable to wait any longer.
These cultivators have extremely light meals every day, sometimes even without any meat or fish. They also practice the art of fasting, and their mouths have long been devoid of food.
Now there is a wedding banquet to attend. It’s such a good opportunity, it would be a waste not to go.
Ling Xuewei was a little hesitant.
Si Jiuming suddenly said, "Senior Sister, the monster might be in the Yuanwai Mansion. We can go and take a look."
Ling Xuewei nodded.
Master said that Junior Brother Jiu Ming has a natural sensitivity to monsters. I believe Junior Brother Jiu Ming cannot be wrong.
As soon as I entered the official's mansion, I found that the bustle inside and the desolation outside were two completely different situations.
"Everyone, be careful. There are monsters in your heart. Don't..."
Before Ling Xuewei could finish her words, she found that the disciples from other sects had already taken their seats and started to feast on the table full of delicious food.
Ling Xuewei was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but then she thought that since he was not a disciple of her sect, there was no point in saying more.
It also makes me look like I'm meddling in other people's business.
However, when Ling Xuewei turned around, she found that the several disciples she had brought down the mountain, except Si Jiuming, had already sat down to eat.
"you……"
"Senior Sister."
The handsome and gentle young man waved at her: "Sister, since you are already here, you must not make this trip in vain. Why don't you sit down and have something to eat with us?"
After saying that, Si Jiu Ming sat down first.
"Yes, Immortal Master, since you are here, don't be polite. It is a blessing for our Yuanwai Mansion that you can come here."
"The newlyweds are about to get married, and the immortal masters are here to join in the fun. Our master is also very happy. After the immortal masters have eaten and drunk their fill, the master has specially prepared a room for you to rest."
A middle-aged man who looked like a butler said this with a warm smile on his face.
Ling Xuewei looked around vigilantly and found that there were many people from the immortal sect around. Seeing that everyone seemed to be eating happily and the atmosphere here was also very good, her vigilance gradually relaxed.
The newlyweds entered the venue, and the groom slowly appeared in front of everyone holding the bride's hand.
The wind blew through the veil, slightly revealing the bride's fair face.
Si Jiuming silently withdrew his gaze.
"Junior brother, have you noticed anything unusual?"
The young man shook his head, and Ling Xuewei breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that there was nothing, at least it proved that the official's mansion was safe.
"Bow to Heaven and Earth——"
As the high-pitched voice fell, the newlyweds began to worship in the hall.
"Two bows to the parents—"
"Send her to the bridal chamber—"
From beginning to end, Si Jiuming's gaze was fixed on the bride in her red wedding dress.
Ling Xuewei had no interest in watching other people get married, let alone watching other people's bridal chambers. Now that she was already sitting at the table, the most important thing was of course to eat.
After all, they are living a hard life in the Hehuan Sect now. They eat food that is barely enough to fill their stomachs every day, and when they are out of money, they have to borrow from the Xuantian Sect.
If Xuantian Sect refuses to lend, they will only reward them with some unwanted rotten vegetable leaves and moldy rice.
In order to ensure that the sect disciples had enough to eat, Ling Xuewei had no choice but to stay and watch.
Nowadays, there is everything you want at the banquet, including delicacies from land and sea. Even Ling Xuewei can't resist such temptation.
Just as she picked up a piece of braised pork ribs with chopsticks and was about to put it into her mouth, Si Jiuming suddenly blocked her hand.
"Senior Sister, don't eat."
Ling Xuewei looked at him puzzledly.
"Has Master ever taught me the technique of dotting the eyes?"
Ling Xuewei nodded and immediately performed the eye-opening technique. She lightly touched the center of her eyebrows with her fingertips, and a faint golden light appeared in her eyes.
Soon, the delicious medicine in front of him turned into moldy and rotten food, and even had many maggots entangled in it.
An unbearable stench floated in the air, and Ling Xuewei almost vomited at first sight.
Si Jiu Ming quickly covered her mouth and motioned her to look at the person opposite.
The servants busying around in the mansion were all highly decomposed corpses.
There were strands of red threads wrapped around them.
"Sister, don't look. Don't let them see you. You have to pretend that the food is delicious."
Si Jiuming picked up a piece of rotten meat with chopsticks and brought it to his mouth with an expressionless face, pretending to eat it. The servant who looked at him straight saw that he had eaten it, then turned around and left with relief.
Ling Xuewei was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She was about to remind the disciples around her when the old housekeeper suddenly came over.
