Chapter 055: Cemetery Bones (11)
They walked to the edge of the rock, where a ray of moonlight was shining.
He Lin stepped forward, the moonlight brushed across his body like a veil, the white bones transformed into human form, he looked back and smiled, and stretched out his hand to the people below.
Tao Xing took his hand and climbed up the rock.
With the moonlight shining all over his body, the young man in the Zhongshan suit put his arm around his sweetheart's shoulders and looked at his face carefully.
Then he raised his head slightly and pressed his warm lips against the other person's.
As soon as he touched Li, he lowered his eyes with a little shyness and dared not look at her again.
Tao Xing smiled, lifted his chin, lowered her eyebrows and kissed him back.
The person in his arms closed his eyes and his breath intertwined.
The lingering kiss expresses all the love, although they have only known each other for a short time, the heartbeat is endless.
After an unknown amount of time, He Lin retreated, panting slightly, his cheeks flushed and his eyes covered with a layer of mist.
The lips were also soaked with mist, and he whispered softly: "Two hours, is that enough?"
Tao Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment, he picked up the person and slowly walked down the rock.
The stone-built room is warm and comfortable.
But two hours isn't enough.
But at that time, it was impossible to stop, and the long kiss fell on the white bones, like touching warm jade.
The bones groaned softly and tightened their leg bones, which ultimately satisfied the humans.
At dawn, it was bustling outside, and the bones started to gather again. According to them, today was going to be a big party.
They walked hand in hand to the stream.
Having already decided to leave, the skeletons saw that Helin was still a little uncomfortable, so they found a topic to tease him: "Are you two a couple now?"
The two smiled but said nothing.
Some people who are busy with troubles shouted: "Get married, get married..."
He Lin shook his head: "Don't joke..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted. Tao Xing walked up to him and said with a smile, "That's fine."
The bones in front of him suddenly froze, his eye sockets were filled with flames: "You, what did you say?"
"I said, I want to marry you."
The flame flickered, as if crystal tears were flowing out. He Lin smiled and said, "I am already very satisfied that you can respond to my feelings. After all, I am a ghost."
"Yes, you are a ghost." Tao Xing stroked his chin, "This is not easy to deal with."
The fire in Helin's eyes dimmed slightly, and he lowered his head with a faint smile: "Yes."
"Then... I'll follow the local customs and get married the way you ghosts do." Tao Xing turned around, "Is this called a ghost marriage?"
He Lin raised his head suddenly: "Do you really want to marry me?"
After a moment, he continued, "Ghost marriages are between dead people. You are a living person, so you'd better not do it. Although I don't quite understand it, I think it will affect you."
"Hey, I don't care that you're dead, and you don't care that I'm still alive. Are you still hesitating? I'll be leaving after twelve o'clock tonight. It will take almost another month for me to come next time." Tao Xing held the bone in front of him and said softly, "Don't think too much. Just tell me, are you willing to marry me?"
"Mr. He, please agree to it quickly." shouted Gu, who was watching the fun.
He Lin clenched his finger bones for a long time before saying, "Yes."
"Wow..." There was a cheer from the surroundings, "Should we prepare for the wedding then?"
Tao Xing hugged He Lin, pressed against the skull, and felt embarrassed in her arms. She lowered her head very low. Even though she had no flesh and blood, she could still feel that his face was flushed.
"How should I prepare for the wedding?" Amid the noise around him, Gu was puzzled again, "Is the ghost marriage the same as the wedding in the world of the living?"
"It's different." Tao Xing said, rolling his eyes and walking around to He Lin. "Since we should follow the local customs, then you should come to pick me up. You have to prepare everything needed for the wedding."
He Lin smiled and said, "Whatever you want, I guarantee we have it all."
Tao Xing nodded with satisfaction: "I want a sedan chair with eight bearers."
"Ah." The skeletons were surprised. "You still need a sedan chair for such a short distance?"
"Yes, all the procedures must be followed."
"But...how can this be done?"
He Lin said: "My ability can be transformed, what else?"
"The paper figures carrying the sedan chair."
"No problem."
Tao Xing counted on his fingers: "The honor guard playing the suona."
"Are you also using paper figures?"
"yes."
"Okay, what else?"
"There's nothing else to do. Wedding clothes are optional."
He Lin said: "Then I have to prepare, I can't treat you unfairly."
The bones cheered: "Okay, then we must attend the wedding before we can leave."
Immediately, all the bones started to get busy preparing. He Lin closed his eyes and activated his ability.
Soon, a big red sedan chair appeared by the stream, with eight paper figures next to it, wearing black clothes and red flowers. Although they were flat, their hands and feet could move. Another team of paper figures wearing red flowers held suonas and made expressions as if they were puffing up their cheeks.
He Linsong opened his hands in front of his chest, spun in the air, and a layer of red gauze covered his body.
Then, a faint light brushed over Tao Xing. Tao Xing raised her hand and saw that she was also wearing a wedding dress with a black background and red gauze.
The skeletons were surrounded by colorful silk and various foods were placed on the table, waiting cheerfully.
When it was dark outside, Tao Xing walked into the sedan chair and stuck his head out: "It's the auspicious time."
Afterwards, the curtain was lowered and the person sat firmly in the sedan chair. The sound of suona began to sound and echoed in the dark space. Paper figures carried the sedan chair, swaying as it moved forward along with the guard of honor.
The bones were originally laughing, but as they laughed, they dared not say a word.
As dead skeletons, they are all ghosts, but why do I feel a little scared when looking at this paper figure of the sedan chair?
080 also had something to say in his mind: "Yeah, it's okay once you get used to seeing a bunch of skeletons. Sometimes you even think they're a little cute, but...how come this ghost marriage is so much more creepy than a skeleton?"
It’s like one is clear at a glance, and the other is elusive. There is always a little fear about unknown things.
"Host, even if you want to marry him, what methods are not acceptable? Anyway, you can't get a marriage certificate. Isn't it just a formality? Can't you use a more earthly ceremony?"
Tao Xing said: "No, because he is not from the mortal world."
080 Touching the non-existent head, I am still confused.
Amid the swaying branches, Helin looked at the moonlight, in the form of flesh and blood, with a red gauze over a black Zhongshan suit and a big red flower hanging on his chest. When he heard the sound of suona approaching, he turned around and a smile appeared on his overly pale face.
The sedan chair stopped in front of him. He lifted the curtain and saw the person inside. His smile became even wider.
Tao Xing extended her hand to him.
Helin led him out of the sedan chair, the suona changed its tune, and the newlyweds held the two ends of the red silk and bowed three times in the house.
The ghost wedding ceremony was successful.
The distant suona sound gradually faded away, the paper figurine lowered its hands, and turned into spots of light and dissipated.
The light spot passed around the big red sedan chair, and the sedan chair turned into a faint light and disappeared.
Those who were bowing to each other stood up and looked at each other with joy.
The noise outside was too loud and disturbed the two people who were about to kiss. They separated with smiles on their faces and laughed with the bones. The hand that was held in his palm gradually lost its flesh and blood. Tao Xing turned around and watched the person next to him slowly turn back into bones.
The white skeleton was still covered with the red gauze.
It was a long time before He Lin realized that he had changed back. He turned around in surprise and said, "It's getting late, isn't it?"
Tao Xing smiled: "Yeah."
The crimson flame flickered a few times: "You should go now."
Tao Xing led him towards the cave entrance and asked, "When will it open next month?"
"Number 15."
"Okay." Under the dim light, there were still broken rose petals, and the moonlight stairs slowly appeared. Helin sent his newlywed husband up the stairs.
The bones in his hands turned into flesh and blood again. At the point where he couldn't go any higher, Tao Xing turned around and said, "Please make another cloud above my head. We can keep in touch."
He Lin smiled lightly and raised his hand to brush his head: "My body is not fully recovered yet, I am afraid this cloud will not last long."
"Something is better than nothing."
He Lin nodded: "Go up quickly."
Tao Xing took a step forward, lowered her eyes to think, then looked back at him.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"That's all." Tao Xing rubbed his head, "I'm leaving."
He leaped out of the passage.
Looking back, the passage was no longer visible in the moonlight. Using the light from his cell phone, he could only see a thin crack where he had just stepped. It was caused by the hammer he had used.
Xiao Huang, no, Xiaocai is no longer here. He may have gone back first.
He climbed up the tree and once again held the mirror to draw in the moonlight.
080 said: "Host, do you still want to go in?"
“I can’t get in.”
"That……"
"I'm just taking a look." The moonlight was attracted and continued to flow, converging and heading towards the tomb in the center.
"The forbidden spell really hasn't been solved." He said in a deep voice.
080 said: "He was a human in his lifetime, a non-human who had been a human, and he was even better at disguise, right? Host, are you really not going to buy a memory tracker to see what he really thinks?"
"don't want."
"Host, although you don't have much money, it's enough."
"It's not about the money. I don't want to use this method to pry into his thoughts."
Tao Xing changed the tree and let the moonlight shine down again, looking for the place where the moonlight illuminated.
After a while, continue to move.
He kept moving from one tree to that tree, and the moonlight formed a net-like floating light in his mirror. Before it dissipated on this side, it rose up on the other side, intersecting with the flowing energy.
"Host, what are you doing?" 080 was dazzled by seeing him running around.
"Isn't my mission to save the non-human villains? I'm on a mission, setting up a formation to disrupt the energy."
"Host, aren't you in love with him and married?" 080 blurted out.
"Does this have anything to do with the mission? We fell in love just because of love."
The system thought, yes, it was its habitual thinking. It believed that if non-humans fell in love with humans, they would also fall in love with the whole world for humans.
But it is obvious that this love is love, and the villain attributes are still there.
That's right, if the villains can be persuaded by love, then why does the host have to do the rescue mission? Just change it to a strategy mission.
But after thinking about it, the system asked again: "Host, even if he is still a villain, you still want to fall in love with him?"
"Didn't I say it before that I don't have any principles?" Tao Xing finally stopped climbing the tree and completed the formation.
He returned to the center of the cemetery, breathing slightly, stroking the tombstone, and looking at it quietly.
"Lin--He--Qing."
Born in 1972, died in 1992.
The grave was sloppily marked and there was no signature of the person who erected the tombstone. No one had visited it in the past 32 years.
