Chapter 96: The Cave of Sorrow (5) Wearing this wedding dress, I am in heaven...
Wei Wei: “This…”
The left protector slammed the table again: "Don't be ashamed. What's more important, face or life? You are a middle-class man, so what's wrong with wearing a daughter's wedding dress?" After a pause, he added, "Those are wedding dresses for fairies. They are different from ordinary women's clothes. It's an honor to wear them."
It was obvious that Wei Wei was extremely reluctant. But in the dungeon, the wedding dress should be a key item that could advance the plot. He hesitated in silence and did not respond.
"You have caused trouble in the Temple of the God of Medicine, so you must wear your wedding dress. Don't bring bad luck to the villagers." The left protector urged.
Wei Wei had no choice but to agree.
Xiuhong took him to the backyard. When they came back, Wei Wei had already changed into his wedding dress, with a dazzling phoenix crown, a red skirt trailing the ground, an enamel locket on his neck, and a gold-thread magic mirror on his chest. He had his face opened, eyebrows drawn, and lips painted. Pearl and jade face flowers were pasted on his brows and dimples, making his already feminine face even more gorgeous like a woman.
As soon as he walked in, he was covered in jewels from head to toe, and a circle of precious light seemed to illuminate this old house. The rich fragrance of flowers and fruits hit him in the face, as if bringing the most vibrant day of the garden in midsummer.
It's just that Wei Wei's face didn't look good, his eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were wide open. It seemed that he didn't want to care about the Ghost Doctor and the Second Ghost Immortal, he just wanted to kill his way through the entire copy.
"He's quite handsome." The left protector muttered.
Even though Gao Mengtang couldn't see clearly, he could still feel the murderous intent surging from Wei Wei. He Luo was frightened by his master. He stretched out two claws from the pipe and crawled to Gao Mengtang's feet like a hermit crab, carrying the pipe.
It's just a wedding dress, I can take it off later, why are you so angry, Gao Mengtang thought.
The next sentence of the Left Protector gave the answer to the question "Why is Wei Wei so angry?"
"Miss Xiuhong told you," the left protector coughed twice, "marrying an ordinary family means leaving your parents' home and going to your husband's home. Marrying the Ghost Doctor Immortal means leaving the human world and marrying into the fairy world. According to our customs, you have to say goodbye to every household in the village."
The left protector continued, "You are not from Changming Village, and you are not really going to marry the Ghost Doctor, but you cannot skip the rules, otherwise you will not be able to get rid of the disease. Go and take a handful of soil from the door of each villager, and take it as taking away their disease."
Now, Gao Mengtang finally understood why Wei Wei was angry.
Wearing a wedding dress and hiding in the house was acceptable, but now he was asked to go around every household in the village. During this time, he would definitely be seen by other players and would be completely socially dead.
Freesia squeaked, "Naked ass, grind. Spin around!"
She wanted to say: Turning the mill naked - going around in circles is shameful.
Gao Mengtang quickly covered her mouth. Unfortunately, Wei Wei understood.
"You didn't tell me that I had to walk around the village in my wedding dress." Wei Wei said in a low voice.
The left guardian immediately became angry: "What else? You brought the disease here, so of course you have to get rid of it yourself. Go quickly, this matter cannot be delayed. There are 60 households in Changming Village. Collect all 60 handfuls of soil and come back to see me."
At the same time, the side quest [Fate] was released.
: Congratulations to the player [101 Body Cleansing Master] for triggering the side story [Unfair Fate]
: [101 Purifier] has shared the side quest with [000 Blind] [726 Drowned Wrathful Soul]
Side quest 1: Collect a handful of loess from the doorsteps of 60 villagers
Progress: 0/60
Gao Mengtang: "If you find it inconvenient, I can help you get the soil. Well, my eyesight is not good, Xiaofenglan can also do it."
Wei Wei took a puff of cigarette, wearing a wedding dress and smoking a pipe, looking quite charming and seductive: "Scroll down, there are also task notes."
Note 1: The key parts of the mission should be completed by the "bride", otherwise it will be considered a mission failure.
Note 2: Taking off the wedding dress before completing the side quest will be regarded as giving up the quest.
Gao Mengtang: “…”
The three of them had reached the country road and ran into Wolanbei head-on.
He combed his hair which was heavily coated with hair gel, and whistled at Gao Mengtang: "Leader Yue Fan is so charming. He just entered the dungeon and he was still blind, but he kidnapped a little bride? You didn't even let the NPC go?"
Among the six players, only Freesia is a female. Wolanbei did not recognize that it was Wei Wei and thought it was a villager.
Wei Wei is 177cm tall, which is not considered tall among men, but is exceptionally tall among girls. Standing next to Gao Mengtang, one is beautiful, the other is gorgeous, which is indescribably pleasing to the eye.
"This girl is pretty good-looking," Wo Lanbei put his hands in his pockets and whistled in a nonchalant manner, "Brother likes this kind of girl, tall and thin, with a nice curly figure... F*ck!"
Walking closer and seeing his face clearly, Wolanbei was so scared that he almost fell down the stairs: "Wei, Wei... Wei Wei?"
"I'm not in a good mood," Wei Wei squinted his eyes, took a puff of cigarette, and slowly exhaled a cloud of white mist, "If you want to leave the dungeon alive, please consider how to phrase it."
Wo Lanbei's expression was extremely complicated. After a long while, he managed to say, "Wei Wei, did you trigger the branch quest?"
He really guessed it right, worthy of being a high-level player during the internal beta period. Wei Wei raised his eyebrows and smiled. In the sunlight, the pearl and jade face flower between his eyebrows sparkled.
"Mr. Blind, let's go." Wei Wei supported Gao Mengtang.
The three of them walked more than ten meters away, and Wo Lanbei suddenly shouted behind them: "Gu Kang died so tragically, don't you feel any guilt at all?!"
Wei Wei paused.
"He screamed for seven days and seven nights before he died!" Wolanbei's voice was trembling. "If you had come back to see him during those seven days, he would not have died!"
Wo Lanbei wiped his eyes vigorously: "No one can stand forever. Gao Mengtang, you should think clearly, when you fall, Wei Wei will be the first one to stab you with the knife."
The two hands that were holding Gao Mengtang clenched suddenly, and his nails dug deep into Gao Mengtang's flesh. Wei Wei's whole body was tense, and his back teeth were clenching.
"You have no idea what's going on." Wei Wei's voice was suppressed to the extreme.
Wolanbei laughed angrily. He stared at Wei Wei fiercely. The wind blew out from the valley, and the red wedding dress rustled. A pair of gold earrings swayed in the wind.
"Wei Wei, do you need me to help you recall?" Wo Lanbei approached step by step, and the bamboo earring on his left ear flashed a faint green. "When you evolved your identity card, Gu Kang was severely injured by Yin Mingwu in order to protect you. What did you do?"
"You turned around and joined Heiou." Wolanbei grabbed Wei Wei's collar, his eyes red, "You also tampered with the leader's poisonous insects. The poisonous insects went out of control and paralyzed Gu Kang. In the next seven days, they ate him up bit by bit."
Wei Wei wanted to push his hand away, but found that he had no strength, and his lips trembled: "No, I didn't."
“No?!” Wolanbei roared like thunder, “The leader only trusts you, and only you can enter his Worm Valley!”
"Tell me, have you ever opened the leader's golden silkworm Gu?"
Wei Wei seemed to have made up his mind. He suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Wolanbei: "I opened his golden silkworm Gu, but that was because... I... the leader..."
Wo Lanbei yelled, "Why? Keep talking. Can't you make up any more stories?"
After a moment of silence, Wei Wei turned his face away and said, "There is no need for me to explain to you."
"Did you hear that, Chief Gao?" Wolanbei's face was ashen and his eyes were cold.
"Poor Gu Kang, he trusted Wei so much and only allowed him to enter the Worm Valley." Wo Lanbei loosened Wei's collar and said calmly, "I never thought that the Worm Valley would become his grave."
"Gu Kang cultivated the golden silkworm Gu in the Worm Valley, but the Gu was tampered with by Wei Wei, and Gu Kang was poisoned and paralyzed. In the past seven days, the only person who could save him never showed up once."
Wei Wei said nothing, his expression indifferent, as if the matter being discussed had nothing to do with him at all.
"You know?" Wo Lanbei stared at Wei Wei's eyes curiously, "After Gu Kang died, the insect valley barrier disappeared. We went in to collect the body. Gu Kang's blood was sucked dry by the poisonous insects, and all his teeth and hair fell out. He was severely dehydrated, and his whole body shrank to only half a meter long."
Holding Gao Mengtang's hand, he squeezed it even tighter. Without words or expressions, Gao Mengtang could feel Wei Wei's heartache.
"If you have nothing else to do besides going over old scores, then we'll take our leave first?" Gao Mengtang said with a smile, "After all, we still have side quests to complete."
After listening to Wei Wei's history of rebellion, there was no reaction at all. Wolanbei was quite surprised and watched the two of them leave.
"Sir Blind Man..." Wei Wei hesitated to speak.
Gao Mengtang: "Which family should we start collecting soil from?"
Wei Wei took a deep breath: "Don't you care?"
"It's okay. If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to." Gao Mengtang smiled, "I believe you."
I trust you.
Wei Wei's eyes flickered. Soon, the light in his eyes was replaced by an indescribable sadness. Many times, tragedy has occurred just because of these four words: I believe you.
The three of them found a farmhouse and were about to start digging when they heard a scream from the yard: "Marry a fairy?!"
It means "marrying the daughter of an immortal". In the village, it refers to the family that is going to marry the ghost doctor immortal.
Such bright and gorgeous wedding dress can only be found in Wu Xiang's house. When the villagers saw it, they knew it was a wedding dress that could only be worn to marry a fairy.
"No, I..."
Without waiting for Wei Wei to explain, the village woman opened the gate, welcomed him in respectfully, and brought out a plate of cakes and pastries.
"You are so blessed, please accept my gift. When you get married, let me get a little bit of the heavenly aura."
Wei Wei: “No need——”
"You must accept it!" The village woman stuffed the cakes into his arms. On the other side, the child in the family dug a handful of soil, wrapped it in red cloth, and trotted to Wei Wei. The village man rummaged through the boxes and found a silver bracelet, asking Wei Wei to accept it.
Task progress changed to: 1/60
The custom in the village is that whoever receives this dress from the witch and puts it on is the one who will marry the goddess in heaven and will be treated with respect by the villagers.
No matter which family Wei Wei went to, he would receive an extremely warm hospitality, with tea, food, and gifts served to him. People would kneel down and kowtow to him three times.
Thirty handfuls of dirt were collected from the front door, and nearly half a pound of gold and silver jewelry were collected. Wei Wei weighed the small package and said, "No wonder everyone in the village wants to marry the Ghost Doctor."
Not to mention anything else, just this half pound of jewelry is easy to get.
Gao Mengtang had poor eyesight and could not help much, and Wei Wei did not need his protection, so Gao Mengtang found a big tree and sat under it to enjoy the coolness.
The people in the village make money by digging medicinal herbs. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, young men who went up the mountain to collect herbs came back in twos and threes. Gao Mengtang overheard them chatting.
"Another fairy has appeared."
"She's not really getting married, she's a stranger," someone answered, "She seems to be wearing a wedding dress just to get some good luck."
"No matter what the reason is, there is an old saying in the village, 'Put on this wedding dress and you will be the goddess from heaven.'"
After climbing the mountain for a whole day, the group of people came back covered in dust, with sore bodies and trembling calves.
The people who were digging medicinal herbs saw from afar Wei Wei at the other end of the village. She was wearing a red wedding dress and floated into the world like a sunset. She left without being stained by the world, with a pile of gold, silver and jewelry in her hands.
"It's great to be able to marry the Ghost Doctor." One person sighed sincerely, "Being respected by others, and enjoying endless happiness."
"Don't dream. The Ghost Doctor likes women, so the man has to be very handsome."
Gao Mengtang listened silently and thought to herself, the legend of this ghost doctor is so popular that even men are looking forward to getting married.
"What was the name of the woman who married the Ghost Doctor last time?"
"Kyoko."
"Oh, yes, she's so ugly, it makes me sick just looking at her. I wonder if the Ghost Doctor..."
Another person quickly interrupted: "Shut up! Don't be disrespectful to the Empress!"
