Chapter 45
It first loosened Wang Sheng's bun, then opened the osmanthus oil and applied it over and over again until the frizzy long hair was smoothed and styled. It took the paper gold hairpin on the table, and the moment it inserted it, it turned into a real gold hairpin, and then inserted the tassel and the back hairpin into his hair.
A gentle and mournful song came from the house, "Apply rouge, apply powder and white, change into red clothes, purse the red lips and become charming, so lovable, so lovable, hidden under the veil, the lover's heart turns back and calls you my love."
It sang the song over and over again, carefully fixing the hair of the person under its hand, then floated to the front and put its hands on the unconscious face. In just a moment, a layer of skin turned into paper and fell off.
Just like the lyrics in the song, the paper bride applied powder, rouge, and eyebrows, and even spread the vermilion lipstick on the lips bit by bit. In an instant, the fair and flawless face became as beautiful as a jade crown and full of energy.
While the man was unconscious, its hand reached out to Wang Sheng's belt.
Outside the ghost realm, as the blood continued to be transported, the movement on the viewing platform had stopped, but Han Tan's face became paler and paler, and there was little difference between the paper figures sent in and those he had.
Yin Jianyue looked at the paper bride's inexplicable behavior, and her brows furrowed more and more. However, she was slightly surprised when she saw that Wang Sheng was actually wearing a mask.
After seeing the paper bride undressing Wang Sheng, Yin Jianyue could no longer hold back and even laughed in anger, "Han Tan, look at what your evil spirit is doing?"
Han Tan was seeing stars now. He shook his head, trying hard to make out the scene in the ghost realm. His already pale face was now completely colorless, and he almost fell unconscious. The paper bride didn't want to marry the groom, but actually played with the groom!
After the last piece of clothing was removed, the willow-leaf birthmark on Wang Sheng's right collarbone was revealed. However, there was no love in the paper bride's eyes. She just put the wedding dress on someone else and looked at her work with satisfaction.
Love between two people in this world is just a flash in the pan, and marriage is just a bigger scam. It wants to see how strong the relationship between the two people who came in is, and who will be the next one to elope with the top courtesan in the future?
Let this person be its bride instead.
It tapped Wang Sheng's forehead as if adding the finishing touch to a paper figure, and soon, Wang Sheng slowly opened his eyes.
The pair of eyes that were usually bright were now covered with mist, and the pupils stared blankly at the mirror in front of them, like a paper man that had just been enlightened, without any emotional fluctuations.
The paper bride was originally looking at him with a smile, but after Wang Sheng opened his eyes, she froze in place, and the smiling face painted on her face gradually turned into melancholy.
It stopped singing and even forgot to put on the red veil at the last step, falling into a painful illusion.
A hand gently wiped the paper face, then reached forward, soaked with the red tears that flowed out, and fell softly.
The paper bride was attracted and put her head on Wang Sheng's forehead, devoutly seeking relief.
Wang Sheng's soul was locked in the body of the paper bride. He could not see his hand in front of him. When he was looking in one direction to see if he could get out, he was pulled into the scene of the paper bride's death.
The paper bride's real name was Chen Li. Like Liang Ruoyan, she was getting married, but unlike Liang Ruoyan, the auspicious time had arrived. Chen Li's family and matchmaker stood at the door, eagerly waiting for her son-in-law to arrive, but he never showed up. When someone from her in-laws arrived, they simply gave them an evasive look and told them to take the sedan chair away without waiting for the groom. To avoid gossip, they had to let the sedan chair travel alone to her in-laws' house.
Chen Li held a fan and cried all the way, but did not see the groom coming to kick the sedan chair until she arrived at the gate of her husband's house. At this time, the street was crowded with people, watching the fun and saying that the groom had eloped with a courtesan long ago, and no one would marry Chen Li today.
Unable to bear the humiliation, she had to turn the sedan chair back to her parents' home. That night, she found a white silk and hanged herself at home. Then, she possessed the paper man that was burned for her. In her own ghost realm, she kept looking for a groom who loved her to marry in order to complete the marriage and fulfill her last wish. However, it was just because she didn't want to become a laughing stock for everyone.
Beauty and spring meet winter again, and finally regret comes, and all words turn into red tears.
.
That willow leaf on the shoulder...
Han Tan suddenly felt that the ghost domain had become extremely stable. He thought that it was his blood that had taken effect. He finally withdrew his hand and could not even stand steadily.
"Your Highness, I already..." Han Tan forced a smile, wanting to play the victim to Yin Jianyue to prove his usefulness. Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly grabbed by the shoulders. It was Yin Jianyue.
"Your Highness?! What's wrong with you!" Seeing that Yin Jianyue was not in good health, Zhao Hongde hurried over to support him, but was thrown away harshly.
Yin Jianyue ran down from the chaise longue, his whole body trembling, bloodshot eyes. His brain instantly became filled with blood and buzzed, throwing away his rationality. He said, "Stop... Stop the ghost realm!"
It was his cousin! The Wang Sheng in the ghost realm was his cousin Yin Nanxing, whom he missed day and night! The cousin he thought was dead for twelve years!
From a very young age, Yin Jianyue knew his cousin had a beautiful birthmark on his shoulder. One day, out of curiosity, he begged his cousin to take a look. His cousin lifted his clothes to show him a glimpse, and he's remembered that birthmark ever since. He thought he'd never see it again...
Han Tan had no idea what he was doing and was shocked. He could only nod and then pretended to take back the paper bride.
After a while, he murmured, "I can't seem to take it back."
The fierce expression on Yin Jianyue's face paused for a moment, and then asked, "What do you mean?"
"I don't know either. The Paper Bride doesn't seem to be obeying my orders. Your Highness, I can't stop!"
Yin Jianyue let go of his hand in confusion. He took a few steps back and looked at the person who had already sat in the sedan chair. The paper figures inside started to lift the sedan chair again, happily blowing gongs and beating drums as they walked forward, but no one knew where they were going.
No, he couldn't bear to see his cousin in danger again. If his cousin disappeared from his sight again, he would never let him go!
Since the ghost realm cannot be stopped, he will go in.
Yin Jianyue stepped directly into the ghost realm. Zhao Hongde and the others had no time to stop him, so they could only watch him go in and worry from outside. If the prince couldn't get out, everyone present would be buried with him.
The time also stopped, and for some reason, the barrier of the ghost domain never fluctuated again.
He didn't know what had happened, so he looked at the Tongxin Curse again. Seeing that nothing was wrong, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, just because everything was fine now didn't mean it would be fine in the future. He had to find Wang Sheng quickly.
Since arriving in Pingyang, he hadn't brought much with him, so he could only rely on his senses to search everywhere. Pingyang City was huge, and Shi Ye didn't know how long it would take him to find Wang Sheng.
After a while, he squatted on the roof, sword in hand, somewhat powerlessly, and buried his head in his knees.
Isn't it said that he is very talented? Why can't he even break through a ghost domain? Why can't he even protect Wang Sheng? Why hasn't he found Wang Sheng yet?
An unprecedented feeling of powerlessness surged from the boy's heart, and this feeling extinguished his always arrogant self.
A song sounded in the distance,
"Red drums beat, suonas blare, the heartless couple calls off their marriage for love, the newlyweds sit in their sedan chairs weeping..."
Tokiya suddenly looked up and saw the paper bride appear!
He regained his composure and dashed in that direction. Seeing the familiar sedan chair, he jumped onto it without hesitation. This time, the paper figures, having learned their lesson, froze for a moment before fluttering towards him, intending to strangle him there.
As the sin bell in Shiye's hand rang, the ears painted on their heads disappeared, and the ink flowed to their mouths. Their mouths opened wide and they screamed and pounced forward.
Wang Sheng in the sedan chair has been able to sense what is happening in the outside world since he opened his eyes. Now he can't move at all, and his head is about to explode because of the noise of the sin bell and those paper people.
"Master? Master! Can you hear me? I'm here! I'm here!"
Wang Sheng knew that he was sitting in a bridal sedan. He was afraid that after Shi Ye had dealt with the paper figures, he would mistake him for a paper bride and stab him through with a sword, forcing him to be reincarnated. He shouted desperately, but no sound came out.
He had already taken the paper bride into his pocket. In fact, he only needed to call out its name to stop everything, but the problem was that he couldn't even open his mouth!
Wang Sheng was so anxious that he was running around in circles in the sedan chair, and could only hope that Shi Ye would be able to find him soon.
Outside, Shi was also filled with anger. Wumen swam around him like a silver dragon, leaving a ten-foot area clear. Without the Paper Bride's control, the paper figures Wumen had stabbed fell to the ground, and the few remaining ones dared not approach him again.
Shi Ye put away his sword and glanced at them. They didn't dare to move again and hid far away.
He walked towards the sedan chair step by step with caution.
Through the red gauze curtain, the person sitting in the sedan chair was no longer a thin piece of paper, but a normal person. He had his hands folded on his legs, as if he was quietly waiting for someone.
On the carefully prepared sedan chair, there were some beautiful flowers in full bloom, and big red lanterns were hung on the four corners, and the light was cast on the person sitting there.
When Shi Ye stepped over the pole, he accidentally kicked it. He walked up to it, used Wu Men to lift the red gauze and saw the person inside clearly.
The fragrance of flowers enveloped the man and the moment he lifted the gauze curtain.
Shi Ye paused as he looked at the man, then realized that this was the real Paper Bride. He put Wu Men on the man's neck and said, "Where did you hide her? Tell me!"
Wang Sheng was terribly anxious. This master couldn't even recognize him. Could it be that Chen Li had turned him into a paper figure too?! He racked his brains and thought hard. He just couldn't believe he couldn't break free from the suppression of the evil spirit in his grasp!
He tried hard to raise his hands, get up, get up!
As he continued to exert force, his fingers finally moved. He was delighted and continued to lift it up. He raised his hand and opened the collar, revealing the safety locket.
Shi Ye was surprised. How come the peace locket he gave to Wang Sheng was on the paper bride?
Before he could ask further questions, Wang Sheng tried to stand up again, but he tripped over his left foot and fell straight forward, bumping into Shi Ye and his red lips touched Shi Ye's.
Wumen couldn't let go and it fell to the ground with a clang.
