Chapter 228 Getting Married
Early the next morning, as the sky brightened, Fengdu City, which was supposed to return to deserted and depressed, was bustling and bustling.
Dense fog covered the sky and sun, and countless ghosts happily entered and exited from the gate of hell, carrying various red silk ribbons and decorating the streets of Fengdu.
In a private house not far from the street, Zixuan frowned slightly when she heard the movement from the street.
"Yesterday, I sneaked into the Fire Ghost King's palace, but failed to find the secret to keep her youthful. Now that there is such a commotion with the beating of gongs and drums, could it be that they want to use the ghost soldiers to search for my whereabouts?"
After Zixuan finished speaking, she didn't believe it, not to mention that the fire ghost king can't leave the Paradise without authorization, and just marching in the daytime requires her to use her great magic power to block the sunlight above Fengdu.
You can walk around at night with ghosts tomorrow, so why bother to delay all night and do it during the day?
"If it wasn't for searching me, why would she do this again? Could it be that the Paradise of Elysium was just attacked yesterday, and a wedding is going to be held today?" Zixuan covered her face with a tulle, pushed the door out, and glanced at the arrangement on both sides of the road. and a few errants who were arguing endlessly in the corner, walked over and asked: "Everyone, is there any major event in the world of bliss? Why do these ghosts dare to walk on the street during the day? Why did they make such a fuss?" ?”
Seeing a woman with a graceful figure and extraordinary temperament walking towards this side, Zhao Wuyan squeezed out of the crowd with bright eyes, opened his arms to block others, and said with a smile: "Girl, you are asking the right person. I heard from several ghost soldiers that the fire ghost king fell in love with the disciple of Shushan elder who visited the Paradise last night, and they are going to get married tonight~?"
'Break into the palace'? 'Shushan Elder Disciple'?
Zi Xuan instantly remembered that when she escaped from the main hall of the Fire Ghost King last night, she ran into Zhou Ji and the others head-on.
Even though I don’t know the purpose of Xu Changqing following Zhou Ji and the others to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, but what this errant said now undoubtedly refers to Xu Changqing.
"Impossible! Yeping, Xu Changqing, Shushan disciples wholeheartedly seek immortality and strictly abide by the rules and precepts, how can they get married?" Zixuan's face changed slightly, and she immediately denied it.
"Love at first sight may not be true, but marriage is definitely not fake." Zhao Wuyan exchanged glances with the people around him, and couldn't help but smirk, "I heard from the brother on duty last night that the Fire Ghost King took three handsome men with him last night. I went to the casino to gamble, and said that I fell in love with the disciple of Shushan on the spot. Every time I win a game, I want him to stay with the Fire Ghost King for a year. As a result, the man loses 300 games in a row. I am afraid that he will die in the Fire Ghost King bedchamber."
Zhao Wuyan couldn't help clicking his lips after finishing speaking, and there was even a hint of envy in his tone.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time the Fire Ghost King has married, right? No wonder it's so grand."
"That's right, I heard that the man is still the second-generation disciple of Shushan, and he is highly valued by the head of the sect."
"I also heard that the casino was closed last night, so it was because of this?"
Zi Xuan's complexion became more and more ugly. Although she had some doubts about Zhao Wuyan's words, the calmness in her heart had already been shattered by this news. She valued Zi Xuan's flickering eyes, and Zhao Wuyan asked doubtfully, "Young lady, you know that person?"
Zi Xuan didn't answer, the only thing she thought of at the moment was to rush back to the Paradise to check the authenticity of this matter.
"Hey, girl, don't you go?" Zhao Wuyan saw that Zixuan was about to leave, and just wanted to step forward to persuade her to stay, but was surrounded by several people next to her again.
"When will the Yincha brand be returned to us?"
"Who did you give the sign to? It can't be the Shushan disciple who broke into the Fire Ghost King's Palace and the few people who went with him, right?"
As they drifted away, the voices of Zhao Wuyan and the others who were quibbling gradually became indistinct, and there was still an endless stream of ghosts coming and going in and out of the wide-open ghost gate.
Find a chance to sneak into it. When Zixuan returns to the Paradise, she finds that there are lights and festoons here, and it is more lively than outside.
"Could it be that the marriage between Xu Changqing and Fire Ghost King is true?" Zi Xuan passed through the crowd, her heart getting heavier and heavier.
After a simple inquiry, the news I got was the same as what the messenger in the city said. The extra details were that the King of Fire Ghosts only brought three strange men to the casino last night, and Solanum nigrum and Tang Xue, who were supposed to be with him, Seeing but disappearing, because everyone in the casino was dispersed by the ghost soldiers, everyone only saw the bet between the fire ghost king and Xu Changqing, and the details could only be learned from the ghost guards outside.
Coming to the table where Xu Changqing and the Fire Ghost King gambled last night, countless possibilities flashed through Zi Xuan's mind.
In the end, out of all the possibilities, only one conclusion is given.
She must go to Xu Changqing to ask for clarification!
In the palace of the Fire Ghost King.
Xue Jian and Hong Kui, who had just returned from the mirror of reincarnation, heard the news, and looked at the wronged and resentful Fire Ghost King, and Xu Changqing, whose face was sinking like water, and who was deeply depressed.
"What's going on here?" Xuejian tugged on Sedum's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
Hong Kui also picked up a small red flower in the basket, and looked at Zhou Ji suspiciously.
"What else can happen? Of course it's a happy event for me and Xu Shaoxia?" The fire ghost king got off his seat twisting his waist, glanced at Xu Changqing, and said dissatisfiedly: "This is the first time we got married~ you look Are you showing me the frowning face?"
"It's a pity~~ Shuai is very handsome, but he is too melancholy," the fire ghost king said, blinking his eyes with red long eyelashes, and said aggrievedly, "Zhou~Ji~brother~brother~~ Otherwise, it's just the two of us Get married?"
Zhou Ji shuddered, and under the eyes of Hong Kui and Huo Gui Wang, he smiled wryly and said: "This matter requires the intervention of the Minister, it is expedient, please forgive me."
Turning around to look at Hongkui and Xuejian, she changed the subject and said, "Is your trip going well? Have you encountered any danger?"
"That's right, have you seen Grandpa? Did you wait for me to say hello to him?"
Xuejian showed a grateful look, shook his head, and smiled in relief, "We didn't see Grandpa after we went to the mirror of reincarnation. Xiaokui took me to find a ghost **** named Rengui to ask about it. Many good deeds did not suffer any karma after death, and were reincarnated soon."
Walking in the Yin Division of the underworld, Xue Jian felt more and more frightened as she got closer to the mirror of reincarnation. She hoped to see her grandfather again in front of the mirror of reincarnation, but she didn't want his soul to stay in the Yin Division to perish and suffer. She learned of her grandfather's reincarnation from Ren Gui. Although my heart is regretful and sad, but I don't feel sad.
Bowed again to thank Zhou Ji, Fire Ghost King, and everyone present in turn. At this moment, even Sedum felt that Xuejian in front of him had grown a lot compared to before.
That night.
Different from the bright lights in the front hall, the lights here in the bedroom are much darker.
Zixuan evaded several ghost guards and sneaked into the hall. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Xu Changqing, who was wearing a Shushan Taoist robe, sitting at the table and looking at herself with a complicated expression.
Zi Xuan secretly thought it was wrong.
As soon as the warning was raised in her heart, she saw two people walking out of the door. Hongkui was in front and Zhou Ji was behind, blocking her retreat.
"Wearing a veil, I thought it would be so beautiful, but now it looks like this?" With a series of charming smiles like the ringing of a bell, the Fire Ghost King walked out from the corner in a big red dress, looked at Zi Xuan who had taken off the veil, and turned sideways He picked up a mirror, looked at himself in the mirror narcissistically, and said, "Tch~", "As expected, I am more beautiful~"
After the Fire Ghost King finished speaking, he took off the mirror, and suddenly turned his head to stare at Zixuan. A skeleton face loomed from his face, and there was a bit of murderous intent in his gloomy eyes. Are you a vegetarian? Zhou Daochang, Xu Daochang, quickly help me capture this person, I will smash her to the bone and **** her marrow, and burn her soul to silence!"
That's great, Changqing really didn't want to have a relationship with the Fire Ghost King!
While Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief, she also looked at Xu Changqing with a trace of pain and sorrow.
She had been betrayed by her loved ones in the last life, even if they were only Xu Changqing's previous life, but Zixuan still felt a bit of heartache facing this situation.
To the surprise of Zixuan and Fire Ghost King, Zhou Ji and Xu Changqing did not make a move.
"Zhou~Ji~Brother~Brother~~" The Fire Ghost King glanced at Zhou Ji, and his voice became a little colder, "You don't want to go back on your word, do you?"
"People treat me with sincerity, and I treat others with sincerity." Zhou Ji said with a smile, "I promised to help you solve this trouble last night, and I will naturally do it."
Gently put her hands on Hongkui's shoulders, signaling that she doesn't need to block herself.
But not long after Zhou Ji was kissed by Zi Xuan forcefully, how could Hong Kui feel relieved.
Facing last week's quiet and gentle smile, Hongkui hesitated for a moment, and stepped back half a step sideways. At the same time, he summoned Houyi to shoot the sun bow, and stared at Zixuan extremely vigilantly.
Looking at the flaming arrows condensed on the bowstring, Zi Xuan's eyes were fixed, and then she looked at Zhou Ji who was walking towards her, feeling more and more uneasy.
"Miss Zixuan, don't worry, I didn't intend to kill you." Zhou Ji smiled, and his tone was sincere with a hint of danger, "The only reason to keep the girl this time is because of two things."
Zi Xuan looked back at Xu Changqing, Xu Changqing clenched his fists tightly, and looked at Zi Xuan with some questioning and indignation.
"Those two things?" Zixuan didn't understand, but smelled the inexplicable meaning in Zhou Ji's tone, and couldn't help frowning slightly, as if facing an enemy.
"One of them is the fact that the Fire Ghost King is not old." Zhou Ji ignored the sudden change in the eyes of the Fire Ghost King, and continued: "You came to steal the treasure last night, it must be because of this?"
Zi Xuan remained silent.
From Wan Yuzhi to Zhou Ji to the Fire Ghost King, her intentions are too obvious, and it's not surprising that people see through her.
"Unfortunately, what you don't know is that the secret of her youthful appearance is actually the Fire Spirit Orb." Zhou Ji said quietly, "Although the five spirit beads are different, none of them have the effect of making people look younger, because The Fire Ghost King was born in lava, and has a special physique, which is very compatible with the Fire Spirit Orb, so he can use the fire-type spiritual power in the Fire Spirit Orb to maintain his appearance."
In Zixuan's astonished eyes, Zhou Ji continued: "Even if you really take away her Lingzhu, you can't keep the same appearance as her, unless you abandon your identity as a descendant of Nuwa and jump into the lava. There is a one-in-one chance to become an existence similar to the fire ghost king, but this is only in theory, and the actual result will only be that the spirit and soul will be wiped out and turned into fly ash."
Being told by Zhou Ji the secret she least wanted to be known by others, the Fire Ghost King's face was cloudy, but she saw Zixuan's eyes turned from shock to disappointment, and she suddenly understood that the other party, just like herself, only valued appearance A woman who weighs more than anything.
This kind of sympathy shared by women made the fire ghost king look at Zi Xuan less murderous, but also more compassionate.
Noticing the sight of the Fire Ghost King, Zixuan clenched her fists tightly, raised her eyes to meet the Fire Ghost King, her questioning eyes seemed to say, 'Is this true? '
"That's right. I was born in the depths of the lava in the Paradise of Paradise. I accidentally obtained the Fire Spirit Orb, and found that it is very compatible with me." The Fire Ghost King swung his sleeves and looked at Zhou Ji with a strange expression, winking like silk. Tired said: "Zhou~Ji~Brother~Brother~~, I have never mentioned these things to anyone, how did you know?"
Zhou Ji was afraid of this woman, so he said quickly, "It's not important. What's important is that telling you about this matter won't cause any trouble to you, and it can even solve a lot of troubles."
Zhou Ji pursed his lips, gestured to Zi Xuan in front of him, and continued: "At least this trouble will not trouble you again in the future."
"Little brother is really eloquent~" Fire Ghost King said quietly, "It's just that, it's still hard to hide the anger in my heart~"
"That's the second thing." Zhou Ji counted the time, nodded and said, "It's almost time to arrive."
After the voice fell, another ray of purple light flashed in the hall. Before Zixuan could react, she saw a familiar figure appearing beside her. She panicked and said in a broken voice, "Holy aunt."
As early as when she rescued Xu Changqing, the holy aunt had persuaded her, and later asked Wan Yuzhi for a thousand-year demon heart. The holy aunt was even more dissatisfied with her actions like this. , It can be said again and again, now seeing the holy lady's angry and indisputable expression, no matter how greedy and selfish Zixuan is, she can't help but feel a little ashamed.
"Saint?" Hongkui felt that she was taking Xuejian to the underworld, as if she had missed a lot of things, looked at this silver-haired woman with a cold temperament, and whispered on tiptoe, "What the **** is going on?" thing?"
"What's going on here?" In a cubicle not far away, Xuejian also asked the same question.
While Jingtian was explaining to Xuejian, Zhou Ji also said to Hongkui, "After you left last night, we made an appointment with the Fire Ghost King to play a play, and we used her marriage with Changqing as bait to make Zi Miss Xuan came here. First, to help the Fire Ghost King avoid future troubles, and second, to help us solve this trouble ourselves."
Xuejian lifted the curtain and asked curiously, "Then where did this holy lady come from?"
Jingtian proudly shook the Shushan communicator in his hand, and said with a smile: "Lao Zhou asked me to contact Shushan, and then asked the old men in Shushan to contact Shenggu, saying that she is the only one who can help us deal with Miss Zixuan."
