The dim light sprinkled down, casting patches of silver-white light on the flat ground.
There were more than ten corpses standing neatly in front of me, and the person sitting on the roof with his back to the moonlight appeared at some point, speaking creepy words in the dark.
"Stop playing tricks!" the woman in the yellow skirt shouted loudly, looking fierce but weak, and the long sword in her hand turned white.
The three women huddled behind her, also feeling uneasy.
The woman in purple was very excited. As long as the two sides started a quarrel, she could take the opportunity to escape.
On the roof.
Luo Zheyu smiled slightly.
"Playing tricks?"
He suddenly stretched out his right hand, palm facing forward.
Just when everyone was wondering what his intention was, they saw something suddenly gushing out from his palm.
One after another, thick, black, vine-like strips of objects rushed out from the palms, looking around and flying in the air, quickly coming towards the people on the ground.
There were at least hundreds of these vine-like objects, swaying and crossing each other flexibly in the air, like living things.
Because the assembled group was too large, it blocked the figures of Luo Zheyu and others.
Under the bright moonlight, the huge mass looked like a monster.
The vision of the people on the ground was completely filled by this thing.
"ah!!"
I couldn't tell whose scream it was.
"monster!"
"Don't come over here!"
The women all fled in all directions, some were so scared that they even dropped their weapons on the ground, but they didn't dare to pick them up because the vine-like monster was chasing them.
The woman in purple was also terrified. She turned pale and ran away.
"Hey - Junior Sister! Why are you running away? Why don't you chat with me for a while!"
Ming Xin sat on the eaves, looking excited and shouting loudly.
Feeling proud and arrogant.
Someone else has been deceived by Brother Luo's magic.
I was not the one being teased, so I felt quite happy.
“Ouch!”
The little zombie suddenly howled along with him.
Ming Xin didn't expect him to make a sound. He was startled by his voice and felt a weight under his feet. The tiles on the roof broke and fell.
The person in the room was lying on the bed with the quilt covering his head. When he heard the noise above his head again, he huddled up into a ball and shivered.
Those women moved as quickly as the Tathagata did and ran away in the blink of an eye, leaving only a long sword on the ground to prove that they had been there.
The corpse driver and his zombies stood there, looking at the vine-like monster waving its wings and rushing towards them, unmoved.
An overwhelming vine-like object surged over, and just when it was about to touch him, it suddenly dissipated and shattered.
The town outside returned to its previous state, calm and peaceful, as if nothing had happened.
The corpse driver turned around, bowed towards the roof, rang the gong and bell, and continued on his way, leading the corpses behind him.
“Bang!”
"Three souls have left their bodies, seven spirits have risen, living people should stay away—"
"jingle……"
Under the cover of night, the zombies followed his steps, jumping and jumping step by step.
The sound gradually faded away.
"Hahaha, that junior sister runs really fast~"
"Brother Luo, your illusion technique is amazing, so ingenious that it can be mistaken for the real thing."
Even he had been fooled once. I wonder how the corpse driver could see through the illusion.
"That's right!" Ming Xin suddenly slapped his forehead and said in annoyance, "I just remembered it when I saw the symbol on the forehead of the zombie!"
"I'll draw a light-avoiding charm for you. You won't have to use an umbrella in the sun."
…………
The corpse driver continued on his journey with his "guests". Luo Zheyu and Ming Xin watched the corpse driving and returned to the inn to rest.
After two days of hurried journey without any danger, the group finally arrived at the town where the escort agency was located.
A pass is required to enter the city gate. Most of the people in this group have never had such a thing. Luo Zheyu and the little zombie don't even have a household registration, but they still secretly give them money. The six big men are familiar with the city guards, and after a lot of trouble, they finally get a few passes and enter the city gate.
When we walked to a wide street, we heard a lot of people talking and laughing.
The streets were decorated with lights and colorful red silk fabrics of all kinds were tied to the pillars and window sills.
The crowd gathered together around a colorful pavilion.
Most of the people were young men, and there were a few women among them. They were dressed differently from the ordinary people here, with exotic styles. They were squeezed in the crowd, smiling mischievously and brightly.
They all looked up at the colorful pavilion, with their arms open and raised, as if ready to welcome someone.
A graceful woman in gorgeous dress stood on the colorful pavilion. She was dressed in a bright red outfit with silver tassels hanging around her hat. She was also wearing exaggerated gold and silver jewelry. She had bright eyes, white teeth, fair skin, and a generous smile.
The woman in the gorgeous dress holds a red hydrangea as big as a head in her hand. It is delicate, cute and finely crafted.
There were several girls around her who were dressed in the same style, but not as bright and gorgeous as hers. They leaned against her and looked at the crowd below, pointing and talking, laughing, as if they were considering something.
"Hey, look at that one, the one in red!"
"How about it?"
"Not handsome enough..."
"This one, wearing a blue-black robe with dark patterns and a sword on his waist, looks handsome, right?"
"Hehe, Jun is handsome enough, but it's a pity that he's not tall enough~"
"If you ask me, this guy is pretty good, good-looking and tall~"
The jade finger pointed, and the girls looked in the direction it pointed.
"Tsk..." They hissed in unison.
"Everything is fine, except that his eyes are not right. He keeps glancing around everywhere."
The woman in the fancy dress listened with a smile on her face, looking in the direction they pointed one by one, without rushing to make a decision.
The people heading to the escort agency rode mules and horses, drove carts, and squeezed through the crowd with difficulty.
This street is the only way to get to the escort agency. You have to squeeze through it, otherwise you have to go around the city gate, turn around and enter from the other side of the city gate before going to the escort agency.
"It's so lively here." Ming Xin sat on the mule, carefully holding the reins, controlling the mule to move slowly among the crowd.
Normally, it would be easier to move on the ground while leading a mule, but there are so many people here that there is not even enough space for one more person.
"What are they doing?" Luo Zheyu looked up at the colorful pavilion and the girls who were now selecting on the pavilion.
The woman in the fancy dress raised her eyes slightly and happened to see Luo Zheyu on the edge of the crowd.
The two looked at each other.
Look into those sharp eyes that are burning with light.
He has a face as handsome as a jade and is extremely handsome.
His aura made him stand out from the crowd and he could be noticed at first sight.
The woman in the gorgeous dress was stunned for a moment, then she showed an even brighter smile, with red lips, white teeth, and curved eyebrows.
She threw the red hydrangea that she had been holding in her hand into the air with all her strength. The silver tassels on the brim of her hat swung back and forth on her forehead, shining brightly.
The hydrangea was thrown into the sky, drew a graceful arc in the air, and then slid down.
The crowd below hurriedly raised their hands and squeezed together, trying to catch the hydrangea falling from the sky.
"I have never seen it before, but I think it is the throwing embroidery described in the book..."
Ming Xin said to Luo Zheyu, but unexpectedly he saw out of the corner of his eye a round object with a cloth strip flying towards him.
He looked up quickly.
I saw a red hydrangea falling straight towards him...
Luo Zheyu held the little zombie with one hand to prevent him from falling, and with the other hand he slightly raised up to catch the hydrangea that was falling straight towards him.
"…Throwing a ball to find a husband."
Mingzhen uttered the rest of the words woodenly.
Luo Zheyu was stunned and turned to stare at him.
He raised his eyebrows slightly in doubt.
Throwing a ball to find a husband? Finding a husband?
Ming Xin also stared at Luo Zheyu and nodded silently.
That’s right, looking for a wife.
After the two had a silent exchange, there was a strange silence.
Looking at the delicate and light red hydrangea in his hand, Luo Zheyu felt very embarrassed.
“…Can I still throw it out now?”
He asked.
"...I've never seen this kind of operation." Ming Xin answered cruelly.
Looking up at the colorful pavilion, he saw a woman in gorgeous dress standing there, looking at him with a smile.
The girls next to the woman in gorgeous dress also leaned over to look at Luo Zheyu carefully.
Among the group of girls, there was a girl with lively eyes and a charming and lovely face. Suddenly, her eyes widened with fear.
She quietly took a few steps back, hid behind the crowd, and quietly pulled the sleeve of the woman in the dress.
"Ah'an... Ah'an..."
"Eh?" Ah-yan turned around and looked with amusement at the woman who was bending over and hiding behind her.
"Ah Xun, what's wrong? Why are you hiding?"
"Why are you throwing the hydrangea around? That guy at the bottom, catching the hydrangea, is not a human being!"
It turns out that the woman called Ah Xun was the woman in purple who was chased by four men on the night she met the corpse driver.
That night, after Luo Zheyu's intervention, she finally escaped from the four women.
He came to participate in the wedding proposal ceremony of his childhood playmate, but unexpectedly he saw the monster he met that night. The monster was also hit by a ball thrown by his friend. It was really a joke of fate.
"You know him, yet you're avoiding him, saying he's not a human being...what did he do to you?" Ah-Yan pondered for a moment and asked.
"He didn't do anything to me, he's not a human being!" Ah Xun widened his bright eyes and looked serious.
"Why isn't it a human?"
"Oh! In short, he is not a human, he is a monster!"
"Ah Xun, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. How could I lie to you?" Seeing that she didn't believe him at all, Ah Xun rolled his eyes and quietly pointed at Luo Zheyu who was standing outside the crowd, saying, "Look, how can a normal man look that good-looking?"
“…”
"Puchi..." Ah-yan bent over with laughter, and the silver tassels on the brim of her hat trembled because of her movements.
"Ah Xun, stop messing around."
…………
The act of throwing a ball of embroidery to find a wife has a greater meaning of seeking a wife, as it is a way of informing all the men of the right age around that there is a girl waiting to marry in the family.
Throwing the bouquet is more like a game. If the bouquet happens to hit a man who is suitable in every way, the marriage will be settled.
If the parents are not satisfied, they will not force their daughter to marry off just because the hydrangea hits the other party.
Therefore, Luo Zheyu returned the hydrangea, expressed his indifference, and even said that he had no parents here. Then A'an's father sent him out in a good tone.
Ah-Yan looked at him a few more times, her bright eyes expressing her reluctance to leave.
Because of her ethnicity, she is much bolder and more direct in expressing her love.
Ah Xun followed behind Ah Yan, looking at Luo Zheyu with fear and caution, trembling with fear, extremely scared. However, he was worried about Ah Yan in his heart, so he followed behind her step by step, fearing that in the next moment, Luo Zheyu would turn into a monster and turn this place into a Shura field.
A huge fear surrounded her, and the scene of countless vine-like monsters covering the sky that night kept appearing in her mind.
Ming Xin and the little zombie had been ignored for a long time and could no longer stand it. One of them pulled Luo Zheyu to one side and pulled him to walk quickly.
