Chapter 376 Greeting
"let's go."
The brocade-clothed old man, whom Pei Jing respected as Wanlao, thought for a moment and quickly said: "The yin people borrow the way, and the best thing is to avoid it."
Sun Xinzhi, the magistrate of the Zhenfu Division, just wanted to ask where to go,
Seeing Wan Lao clasping his palms together, the hem of his brocade clothes clattered violently.
The majestic spiritual power centered on his thin figure, spread to the surroundings, and spread to every corner of the carriage.
"rise!"
Wan Lao let out a loud cry, the veins on his forehead popped slightly, and he lifted up the entire carriage with his mighty force of thought, intending to move the carriage out of the track.
The floor of the carriage tilted upwards, and the oil lamp hanging on the wall shook accordingly, spilling warm lamp oil on the ground.
Passengers screamed and exclaimed in the compartments on both sides of the aisle. The common sense education of resisting aliens they received since childhood made them shake the Haotian bell harder to expel evil spirits.
What a strong mind.
Li Ang took half a step back to avoid the discomfort caused by the release of thought power all over Wan Lao's body.
Moving heavy objects is nothing, even Li Ang himself, with the blessing of Mosi, can shake this carriage with his body strength.
But because the pressure is equal to the pressure divided by the force-bearing area, if he lifts it, it will inevitably cause damage to the carriage itself, and it cannot be lifted as lightly as Wan Lao, without harming the passengers.
The car detached from the track little by little, gradually suspended above the rails, and moved towards the nearby forest.
sand!
Suddenly, countless pairs of pale arms emerged from the sleepers below the railroad tracks, tightly gripping the wheels and chassis,
Pulled back the carriage that was just about to leave, and smashed it on the rails.
Boom!
The heavy impact force directly twists and deforms the rails,
It also caused the carriage itself to tremble violently. The wooden floor and wooden doors were continuously broken, and more than half of the glass windows were directly shattered, allowing the cold night wind to blow in.
Passengers screamed one after another,
The five people in the front of the car didn't have time to react, and they saw the welcoming team that was still more than two hundred steps away, flickering like ghosts,
One hundred and fifty steps,
one hundred steps,
Fifty steps,
Every time you blink, the welcoming team of up to a hundred people will flash and approach until they stop at a dozen steps in front of the carriage.
The sound of the drum gradually ceased,
The men in red and colorful coats had extremely uniform and creepy empty smiles on their faces, and the light of the torches in their hands was shaking with the wind.
Pei Jing formed a sword formula with one hand, and the Canghai Sword at her waist was ready to strike.
He Fanshuang squinted his eyes, holding a few talismans in his palms,
Sun Xinzhi, the magistrate of the Zhenfu Division, stretched his palm into his bosom, ready to take out something at any time.
Neither of the two parties spoke a word, just staring at each other in the night wind, motionless, like a dead person.
Alternatively, the word "like" can be dropped.
Li Ang stared blankly at the welcoming team. The smiles of this group of people seemed to be carved out of a mold.
The red clothes on her body are too thin and low-quality, like paper bundles,
The most important thing is that their chests did not rise and fall, and none of them was breathing.
In the compartment, due to the broken door, some passengers noticed the movement, subconsciously poked their heads out, and saw the scene in front of them.
Everyone turned pale with fright, and retreated into the cubicle with mournful faces, shaking the Haotian Bell desperately,
The bridegroom, who was surrounded by the welcoming team and wearing a red official uniform, grinned and shouted loudly: "The thief must be attacked when he comes, and the guest must be seen when he comes. Report to the sister-in-law, come out to see each other!"
The faces of the five people at the front of the car changed slightly. What Jiang Gongfu said to the groom was not a bandit cut.
It's serious, welcoming relatives and poetry!
Just like the long poem read by Cardinal Xinxiu at the wedding in Furong Garden on the Qixi Festival, it is a traditional custom and well known to the world.
National marriages, the groom leads a welcoming team, with open flames, to the door of the woman's house, shouting: "Thieves come to fight, guests come to see. Report sister-in-law, come out to see each other!"
And the relatives of the woman also have to ask "Where is the distinguished guest who does not judge, and who invades the night to stop at the door? Where is the gentleman, where is the talent? The spirit is bright, why did you come?"
Both sides say one sentence to you and one sentence to me, and they will finish reading the poem,
The man expresses his background, status, ability, and admiration for the woman,
The woman shows her reserve and solemnity, and only then can the wedding ceremony proceed.
In Li Ang's view, this is both a bad habit and not a bad habit.
From a social point of view, complicated and cumbersome wedding procedures are a burden on both men and women. Being able to ensure the stability of marriage and reduce the probability of divorce in an environment with underdeveloped productivity—marrying again is too tiring and troublesome.
From a more profound point of view, it seems that such a set of wedding procedures inherited from ancient times can also protect the newlyweds from evil prying eyes to a certain extent, just like Haotian Bell and Haotian Bell.
As for the present,
This ghostly welcoming team used this method to show that they did not meet by chance on the railway tracks at all.
It was for this carriage.
Li Ang exchanged glances with Pei Jing and Wan Lao, but neither of them spoke.
Don't look at the hundreds of people who came to welcome the bride, they were lifeless, without any aura fluctuations, and seemed to pose no threat to the five monks.
There are too many cases in Xuegong and Zhenfusi to prove that heterogeneity is unreasonable,
Nor will it follow the many "rules" in the practice world that the cloud-watching environment is greater than the rain-listening environment, and the rain-listening environment is greater than the hiding-place environment.
The power of heterogeneity is the rule.
Seeing that the five people were silent, Jiang Gongfu's groom still kept smiling, and continued: "This is a gentleman in Chang'an, a famous scholar in Chi County. Therefore, I came to visit and talk about glory. The sister-in-law is as follows, how is the body?"
The faces of Li Ang and others changed again,
In the normal greeting poems, the meaning of this sentence is not to introduce that the groom is from Chang’an,
Instead, they pretended to have a Chang'an household registration, boasting that the man's family is rich and close to the woman's relatives.
The other party directly skipped the sentence in the antithesis poem, which should be asked by the woman's relatives, "Where is the distinguished guest without interrogation, and the door will be stopped at night?"
Pei Jing only felt the creeps, the cold current ran from her back to her whole body, and the words Zhang Liang, a doctor of heterology in the academy, flashed in her mind in class—
"Many folk customs that you think are common and not worth mentioning are the experiences that people have summed up for thousands of years in order to resist the pervasive alien monsters. Behind them are full of weird death methods caused by contempt for monsters. Countless tainted blood."
what to do?
Before he turned his head to look at the others, the bridegroom Jiang Gongfu spoke again, speaking at a very fast speed, and quickly said: "If you go down without talent, you will get to the top. You are all asked, and you are invincible against Chen"
"I heard the king's high-sounding words, so I come here to agree with you. A fair lady, a gentleman is good."
The meaning of these words is nothing more than repeatedly expressing love, pleading with the relatives of the woman, asking for a noble hand, so that the groom can see the bride.
Five people are very clear,
When the poem is finished reading, it is the moment when the groom sees the bride and welcomes the bride successfully!
The groom and the whole welcoming team are dead people and dead things. The bride picked up by them naturally has only a dead end.
Pei Jing's mind turned quickly, while continuing to practice the sword of the sea, ready to turn her face at all times, while desperately thinking about the contents of folklore and heterogeneity taught in the academy, looking for a way out.
In heterology,
Bride does not necessarily refer to a woman whose marriage contract is yet to be fulfilled, but may also refer to a concept.
For example, the lives of all the people in the car.
