Chapter 42
Chapter 41
The bride's head is covered with hipa, her figure is graceful, and her steps are light. The groom is fair and delicate, with picturesque features, and looks like a match made in heaven. But helplessly, the groom's smile was stiff, and the corners of his mouth remained unnaturally upturned, as if someone had fixed it.
He moved slowly, clasped his fists in front of everyone, but his eyes were looking around.
"Xiao Tang! Here!" Jiang Xiaosi jumped up and waved vigorously at him.
When Xiao Tang saw them, he was so moved that tears almost fell out, and he winked and asked for help.
Lin Qiang wanted to stand up, but was pushed back by Shen Mo.
"Don't worry."
"It's already this time, do we really have to wait for them to get married?"
"The one surnamed Lu is not simple. Xiao Tang is still in their hands. If you are not sure, don't act rashly."
Lin Qiang had no choice but to sit down, while Shen Mo watched Xiao Tang being pulled over to pray to heaven and earth with a calm face.
Xiao Tang originally thought that they would come to rescue him when they arrived, but he didn't expect that they were just sitting far away. Could it be that they were just here for a wedding?
He wanted to cry so much, a big man was forced into marriage. I don't know what kind of spell that surnamed Lu cast on himself. Apart from being conscious, his body is completely out of control, let alone speaking.
After skillfully completing the whole process of visiting the hall, Xiao Tang wanted to cry but had no tears. Mom and Dad, I'm sorry for you, our family is going to end.
Jiang Xiaosi was full of envy. For thousands of years, all the girls around her got married in their teens and twenties, but she could only be an undeveloped child. Now that I finally have someone I like, my heart is as sweet as a cloud cake, and I can't wait to roll it up. Recalling the frustration of being misunderstood when meeting Shen Mo for the first time, the nervousness when getting along, and later doing everything possible to become his student just to be able to be with him often. Have you already fallen in love with him?
But she was full of liking, because of the refreshing water, she forgot who she liked. I always remember that on the night of Christmas Eve, his coat wrapped around her cold self, like a big net covering everything tightly, and she would never be able to escape. After waiting for thousands of years, it turned out that it was just to wait for his appearance. The moment she fell in love with her, she felt that she began to grow faster, and every part of her body was clamoring to grow up quickly.
One day, I will be your bride too...
Jiang Xiaosi tilted his head and looked at Shen Mo with a smile. Shen Mo raised his head, just in time to meet her eyes, and immediately looked away calmly. The Guazi girl next to her was blushing while talking to Shen Mo without saying a word. Shen Mo either nodded or shook his head.
Yixiu asked him in a low voice: "Then Mr. Lu is very wrong."
"Well, the yin energy of ghosts, the spiritual energy of demons, and there is also a fairy energy, I don't know what it is."
Originally there were some little ghosts and the pink fluttering who didn't have much skill at first glance, but he and Yixiu were completely able to deal with it, and they could leave after robbing Xiaotang. But in the middle, some kind of Mr. Lu suddenly popped up. With his and Yixiu's eyesight, he couldn't figure out the details, so he had to wait and see what happened, and wait for the opportunity to save people.
After worshiping heaven and earth, it was the banquet. Jiang Xiaosi swallowed his saliva in front of the table full of big fish and meat, but he was afraid of Shen Mo's cold gaze, and he didn't even dare to move his chopsticks.
The Guazi girl next to her continued to pick up vegetables for Shen Mo, but Shen Mo did not hesitate and tasted a few mouthfuls.
Jiang Xiaosi knew that he was playing tricks, but unfortunately he couldn't, neither could Lin Qiang, and Yixiu didn't eat meat, so the three of them stared at him wide-eyed.
There was laughter and laughter all around, and the bridegroom came to their table after toasting.
Jiang Xiaosi was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Xiao Tang to have such a good capacity for alcohol, and he went down one cup after another without even walking.
Xiao Tang kept complaining from the bottom of his heart, he was so drunk that he was in a drowsy state, and all his hands and feet were moving by himself.
Master Lu walked to their table and exchanged a few pleasantries.
"You are all friends of Xingzhi. You have come from afar, and Lu Lin is busy with affairs. If there is any lack of hospitality, I hope you will take care of it."
"Young Master Lu, you are being polite." Jiang Xiaosi cheerfully cupped his hands.
Others obviously feel very uncomfortable with such a remark that looks like a TV series line. Lin Qiang squeezed Xiao Tang's hand quietly, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Tang, are you alright?"
Xiao Tang raised his head and grinned at him. Although he was stiff, he became more and more handsome, which shocked Lin Qiang. Could it be that Xiao Tang also turned into a goblin?
Lu Lin looked at the table: "Why, the food is not to your liking? Boss Yao, please change the dishes here, and let the kitchen fry some vegetarian dishes and serve them."
"Amitabha." Yixiu nodded his thanks.
"It's getting late, let's rest here today. Xingzhi's parents passed away early, and on such an important day as marriage, I asked him to invite more friends, and he invited all of you, presumably the relationship is quite good. Although this village is small, the scenery is nice, stay a few more days and let Xingzhi take you around."
Lu Lin had a friendly smile, and his clear eyes were irresistible.
Xiao Tang didn't say much at the side, but raised his glass to toast to everyone. Lin Qiang and the others looked at the wine glass on the plate brought by the waiter and looked at Shen Mo. Seeing that Shen Mo nodded slightly, they all raised their glasses and drank. Then Xiao Tang followed Lu Lin to the next table.
Jiang Xiaosi stuck out his tongue hotly, and looked at Shen Mo, only to see that he used a trick to deceive his eyes and didn't drink at all.
"This wine?"
"This one was specially changed by Lu Lin. There is no problem, and the food can be eaten. If you are hungry, eat more."
"Then why don't you drink?"
"I can't drink."
"Then every time you go out to socialize or something, do you use cover-ups?"
Shen Mo turned to look at her: "I don't need to entertain."
"Okay." Jiang Xiaosi had nothing to say, and began to sweep the entire table.
At night, the four of them were arranged to rest upstairs. It was the first time for Shen Mo, Lin Qiang and Yixiu to experience the feeling of living in an ancient inn, while Jiang Xiaosi seemed to be returning to the home he hadn't returned for a long time.
Lin Qiang walked back and forth in the room for almost half an hour, thinking that Xiao Tang might have already entered the bridal chamber, so he was unavoidably anxious. Seeing that there was finally no sound outside the house, he pushed the door secretly and went out, knocked on Shen Mo's door for a long time, and when he entered the house, he found that Yixiu was also sitting at the table.
"When are we going to rescue people? Can't we wait until late at night? If it's later, Xiao Tang will probably..."
Yixiu nodded: "I just went outside to investigate. This village is not big, with about seventy or eighty families. It is estimated that some natural disasters, earthquakes, mudslides or rock landslides encountered before, and the whole body was buried. People in the village died overnight. Light, that’s why there are so many ghosts.”
"Are we at the bottom of the lake now?"
"Well, for a long time, a lake was formed here, and the ruins of the village were buried at the bottom of the lake. They were not excavated, and no one found them. Although these people are dead, they want to live. They often use the corpses of people who drowned in the lake to come back to life, and the pink is fluttering. Probably one of them. She was originally a young lady of the Lu family in the village. She grew up with Tang Xingzhi's childhood sweetheart. However, before Tang Xingzhi came back, something happened in the village, and no one survived."
Lin Qiang was stunned, and looked at Yixiu: "You mean Xiao Tang is the reincarnation of Tang Xingzhi?"
"Lu Xiaowan re-entered the world as Pink Piao Piao. Since I found him to come back to worship and get married, I guess it should be close."
Shen Mo continued: "Just now I sneaked into Lu Lin's residence, and I also inquired about him from the side. If I guessed correctly, he should be a tree demon who has quickly attained enlightenment, and his real body was also in the village that time. He was traumatized during the catastrophe, so he was trapped under the lake. He has cultivation and mana, and is different from other ghosts, so we mainly need to pay attention to him."
Lin Qiang was silent for a moment. He didn't expect that during the time he was anxious, the two of them would have investigated the ins and outs of what happened, the cause and effect so clearly. They are the police.
Shen Mo naturally knows that he cares and then becomes chaotic. Usually, the two of them are stubborn and arrogant, and they always talk too much without speculation. Thanks to Xiao Tang as a lubricant, they run on both sides.
"Then what shall we do now?"
Shen Mo said: "I have a way to hold back Lu Lin, and Master Yixiu will go to rescue Xiao Tang when the time comes. You protect Jiang Xiaosi, the people in this village are not evil spirits, as long as you don't provoke them, they won't hurt people at will ,do not worry."
Lin Qiang nodded: "Where is Xiao Si?"
"The next room should have fallen asleep, she just drank a lot of wine."
Shen Mo shook his head helplessly. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a scream from upstairs. It was Jiang Xiaosi's voice, just like killing a pig.
The four of them hurried out, Jiang Xiaosi's door opened as soon as he pushed it, and no one was in the room anymore.
Running upstairs in a hurry, the room where the sound came from turned out to be the new house of Xiao Tang and Lu Xiaowan.
"Mentor!" Jiang Xiaosi complained excitedly when he saw Shen Mo, "That man wants to molested me!"
Shen Mo was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He saw Jiang Xiaosi and Xiao Tang sitting alone on a red sandalwood chair, hands and feet as if nailed, no matter how hard they struggled, they remained motionless. And Lu Xiaowan took off her hijab and sat on the edge of the bed, her face was dignified and beautiful, and her complexion was as fair as jade. Lu Lin stood beside Jiang Xiaosi, with his hands behind his back, looking at Shen Mo and the three of them with a half-smile.
"What do you want to do?" Shen Mo asked coldly.
"I'm the one who asked this question. Everyone is a guest from afar. If you have any dissatisfaction with Lu, you can just say it directly. Why do you want to **** the bridegroom on the wedding night?"
"Nonsense! You are the ones who forcibly snatched Xiao Tang and forced him to marry him!" Jiang Xiaosi said angrily.
"Oh, is that so? Do it? We forced you?" Lu Lin glanced away. Xiao Tang wanted to defend himself but was powerless and speechless.
Suddenly, Lu Lin stretched out his hands and grabbed Xiao Tang and Jiang Xiaosi by the necks. Jiang Xiaosi felt as if his whole body was entwined with countless dead branches, and he could hardly breathe.
"Lu Lin, don't hurt Xingzhi!" Lu Xiaowan stood up distressed, wanting to stop him but didn't dare to go forward.
"What do you want!" Shen Mo looked at Lu Lin coldly, full of murderous aura.
Lu Lin shrugged, took out two pills and forced them to Xiao Tang and Jiang Xiaosi to eat them.
"My request is very simple, I want you two to get married right away!"
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this.
Lin Qiang thought there was something wrong with his ears: "You want us to get married?"
"Yes, I want the three of you to marry the girl who is waiting to be married in the village. As for Miss Jiang, just marry me."
"Why! A ghost will marry you!" Jiang Xiaosi was furious, only to realize that he had said something wrong.
Lu Lin sneered and squeezed her chin: "Since you want to be a ghost so much..."
"Let go of her, she won't marry you, she can only be my Shen Mo's wife in this life."
Shen Mo suddenly said this in a cold and domineering tone, everyone present was stunned, Jiang Xiaosi was completely petrified, God, is she drunk?
Lu Lin raised his head, and Shen Mo was looking down at him with eyes that see through everything, with a little sneer and a little pity, he was extremely irritable.
"You want to marry her?"
"I have a marriage contract with her, so naturally I want to marry her."
Lu Lin was silent for a moment, the matchmaker just ran in at the door and whispered something in Lu Lin's ear.
Lu Lin frowned and said: "Since there is a marriage contract first, then you two will get married, and the other two will marry girls in the village who are waiting to be married. Please rest assured that the girls in Xiaoli Village are all virtuous, virtuous, beautiful and dignified. And , I will definitely pick the best for the two of you. Choosing a date is worse than hitting the date, and the wedding is scheduled for tomorrow and I will preside over it for you."
Yixiu's expression changed drastically.
"This benefactor, I am a monk!"
"How can the Qingdeng ancient Buddha compare to the beauty of flowers, the master should return to vulgarity."
Yixiu stopped talking, feeling a little dumbfounded.
Shen Mo looked at Lu Lin, raised his eyebrows and said, "I said it was a monster, it turned out to be Lianlishu."
Lu Lin smiled and nodded indifferently: "Back then, Xingzhi and Xiaowanhua made a promise of life in front of me, and today they can finally become husband and wife again under my auspices. Lovers will finally get married. Aren’t you happy and congratulatory? I’ve witnessed 103 couples in my life, and as long as I make another 5 couples, I’ll be able to attain enlightenment. Everyone in the village is a ghost and can’t give birth, and there are no unmarried men. Since you are here, naturally Let's go after we become relatives!"
"Lu Lin, how can marriage be obtained by force? You have lived in vain for so many years, witnessed so many love-hate partings, and heard so many vows of eternal love, but don't even understand such a simple truth? What's more, your real body Destroyed, you thought..."
"Stop wasting words! How could I not understand, but don't you agree with Miss Jiang? I just want to ask you one question, whether to marry or not?"
Shen Mo clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Marry."
Lu Lin waved his white sleeves, turned to the matchmaker and said, "Miss Boss, tell everyone, prepare well, and the wedding will continue tomorrow! It will be even more lively than today!"
