Chapter 584
After entering, he originally wanted to find a seat in the corner to sit down, but as soon as he entered the door, he was surrounded to the main table and arranged to sit at the most distinguished guest seat.
Regarding this, not only did the village chief who was already present have no objections, but the surrounding villagers also had an expression of taking it for granted.
PEI Ling’s heart was filled with doubt. He looked around and saw a scene of flowers and joy. There were also children running around, shouting about wanting to see the bride.
In short, other than some netherworld decorations made of human bodies, it didn’t seem too different from an ordinary wedding.
Just as he was pondering, the village chief suddenly leaned over and said, ” “Young master, there’s still some time before the wedding begins. I wonder if you’d be willing to meet my good-for-nothing son?”
The groom?
The wedding was the most eye-catching event in sang village.
The groom was undoubtedly one of the two most important roles in the wedding.
Before the bride arrived, he wanted to meet her. Maybe he could find some clues.
More importantly, he didn’t dare to reject the village chief’s suggestion ...
At the thought of this, PEI Ling nodded.
However, when the village chief heard this, he didn’t call the groom over. Instead, he said apologetically, ” “My son is weak and can’t stand the wind. Please come to the inner room.”
Hearing this, PEI Ling became alert. He immediately took out the virtual sky World seed before standing up and following the village chief into the inner room.
Soon, they passed through the long and narrow corridor and arrived at a room.
The room was very large, but there was almost no decoration. The entire floor, the four walls, and even the beams of the room were lit with countless corpse oil lamps.
The aura of corpse oil filled the air and was extremely filthy.
A young man with a pale face was sitting in the middle of the layers of candlelight.
This man was short and had a disdainful appearance. Even though his eyes were closed, the maliciousness between his brows could not be removed.
He was dressed in a blood-red groom’s robe, with a Black Veil on his head, and a freshly picked big red peony on his temple. The peony was in full bloom. In the middle of the blood-red petals and the Golden stamen, it looked very beautiful and rich.
Not only did such a Grand outfit not add to his glory, but it also made him look even more ashen.
The young man did not react to the village chief and PEI Ling’s arrival. He did not even open his eyes.
“This is my son.” The village chief looked at him and sighed slightly before introducing him to PEI Ling. &Quot; he has been weak since he was young. A few years ago, due to various reasons, he had been bedridden for many years ... I hope that after this marriage, he can take advantage of the happy event and get better. &Quot;
PEI Ling nodded and said perfunctorily,”heaven helps your son, he should be fine ..”
“This is the young master,” village chief said to his son.
PEI Ling nodded at the other party, but the groom did not have any reaction. If it was not for the fact that his chest was still rising and falling, one would almost think that he was a corpse.
“Young master, please take a look.” The village chief’s eyes were filled with sorrow as he said, ” according to the custom, my son will personally set off to welcome the bride. &Quot;
“But he has not recovered from his illness and can not leave this place.”
“Can I ask young master to help me escort the bride?”
Hearing this, PEI Ling furrowed his brows. This sang village was strange and the village chief was not a kind person. Yesterday, the village chief had told him to just come and drink the wedding wine, but now he wanted him to escort the bride. No matter how he thought about it, it was a trap. He was very unwilling, but in the current situation, considering the faint threat that the village chief gave him, he didn’t dare to refuse.
After thinking for a while, he said, ” I’ve been away for a long time. I’ve already forgotten the customs here. I’m afraid that if I don’t do it well, I’ll delay your son’s great plan. &Quot;
“It’s fine, it’s fine!” The village chief immediately replied, ” in the countryside, there’s no need to be so particular. &Quot;
“Young master just needs to put on my son’s robe and set off with the bridal team.”
“Oh right, remember not to make a sound on the way and don’t look back.”
PEI Ling immediately noted down this taboo and said, ” “If that’s the case, I’ll go on your son’s behalf,”
The village chief was overjoyed and quickly led him to the back.
At this moment, the bridal escort team was almost ready. The bustling team surrounded an eight-carrier bridal sedan that was dressed in colorful clothes.
At the very front of the group, someone was leading a snow-white Horse with a big red flower tied to its chest.
The village chief ordered someone to bring over a groom’s robe and a hairpin that was exactly the same as the one his son was wearing earlier. He helped PEI Ling put it on in front of everyone. Then, a maidservant brought up a tray. On the tray, there was a freshly cut red peony.
It was the same big red peony, but this one looked exactly the same as the one on the village chief’s son’s head. However, the details were different.
PEI Ling used the [ resentment curse divine power ] to confirm that there was no problem with these things before allowing them to help him.
Soon, he got dressed and rode on the White Horse. He led the bridal sedan and was surrounded by the crowd. They left the house in a grandiose manner and headed straight out of the village.
???
At Zi village.
Old Xu’s house.
The corpses of the family of three and the two itinerant cultivators had all been dressed up. There were no more accidents in the middle. The mourning woman was obviously relieved.
Immediately, she ordered the remaining two wandering cultivators to call in the coffin carrier and prepare for the funeral.
As there were two more bodies but no extra coffins, they could only follow the suggestion of the mourning woman. They dismantled a bed in old Xu’s house and made a simple stretcher to carry the two secret practitioners who had broken the rules.
When she passed by the main house, the wailing woman called out to the coffin carrier, who had a stern expression on his face when he saw his companion’s body.”There are two more in the kitchen. Go and remove another bed.”
In the end, the Rogue cultivator who acted as the coffin carrier carried the seven corpses out with a pale face.
During this period, the drummers in the main house all had serious expressions.
He thought that he was the only one who was in trouble, but he didn’t expect that the wailing person inside was also in trouble!
All the wandering cultivators did not dare to be negligent. The music of the drummers suddenly became much higher.
Amidst the music, the mourning woman wiped her face and suddenly began to cry.”Er-Jin, er, you got on the sedan chair, nailed it, and covered your face with a veil. If you pass by the door of the sedan chair today, you won’t be able to do anything to the Ming Dynasty.”
At this moment, the three coffins in old Xu’s house had been closed. Except for the two remaining wailing rogue cultivators, the others had no idea what the wailing woman had done inside.
But when they heard this, their expressions changed.
It was clearly a funeral, and there was no palanquin, so why was there a wedding palanquin and a face cloth?
Was this a funeral or a marriage?
They were all confused. As they were thinking, the team had already left the door. The fog quietly rose and shrouded every figure in the team.
At this moment, the children who had gathered outside to watch the show suddenly sang in unison, ” “One grain of rice, two pointy ends. My parents kept me for a thousand years, but I couldn’t stay at the door of my in-law’s wedding sedan! The mother cried three times to lead the palanquin, and the Father cried three times to lock the door. The brother would cry three times and carry the palanquin away, and the sister-in-law would cry three times about other people’s family. [ note ]
The sobbing woman cried again,”son!” She had to learn to be obedient, unlike her maternal family, which could mess around. Gonggu’s filial piety, easy-going neighbors, unfamiliar feet, unfamiliar old women to pick up the bride. Take three steps forward and blink your eyes. Take three steps back and speak slowly. Do more daughter’s Red wine and practice the daughter’s Sutra when you’re free.”
&Quot; today I’m a daughter-in-law, twenty years I’ll be a mother-in-law. Life is like this, each generation is more harmonious than the previous ... &Quot;
The two wailing rogue cultivators were full of fear, but they didn’t dare to be negligent. They used their spiritual power to force out tears and followed behind the wailing woman, snot and tears in their eyes as they cried and left.
In their grief, the team began to make a detour around the entire village. As the village chief had said, after passing through the entrance of each house, they began to turn to the outside of the village.
A moment later, the group passed by the village chief’s house.
