Chapter 829 Mirror Space
The welcoming team marched forward with drums and gongs, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed to be in a mourning hall.
There are still many ghost spectators floating behind, silently following. Unlike the excitement of the normal melon-eating crowd, these ghost audiences didn't say a word, as if they were performing some kind of ritual.
The five members of the Baihuang team followed at the end of the melon-eating crowd. Bai Xiaowen also deliberately turned on the mental scan and sensed it.
Qin Bing is not nearby, of course, it is also possible that the high-priority stealth state cannot be detected.
The village of Liujia is not very big, and the welcoming team went all the way, and soon arrived at the destination - a threshing field.
On the side of the threshing floor, there are three or five families.
Bai Xiaowen noticed for a moment that this place is already a corner of the village, and it also fits the status of the Zhou family's outsider household.
In the welcoming team, a tall and thin villager who could vaguely see the appearance of the old man floated forward and shouted loudly:
"The auspicious time has come!"
"The bride gets on the sedan chair!"
The ghost welcoming team separated from the middle, and a simple red wedding sedan chair, carried by four middle-aged villagers, came to the door of one of the households.
Bai Xiaowen used insight to observe, and found that both the old man and the villagers carrying the sedan chair were under the protection of Youbaishi, and could not be selected as targets, that is, they could not be detected.
Well, there is no way to make trouble now, just watch the show honestly.
The villagers who carried the sedan chair shouted several times, but the door was closed tightly, and no one responded.
The old gentleman at the head said loudly: "The auspicious time must not be delayed, invite the bride out!"
At the front of the welcoming team, there were two middle-aged women holding signs of "Welcome" and "Avoid". They were wearing red clothes and had a bloated figure. Hearing this, they rushed over immediately, like two puffs of green smoke drifting into the closed room. Door.
Afterwards, two women in red floated out first, followed by a figure in red auspicious clothes and a red hijab was dragged out, followed by two women at the end. The bride in the red auspicious dress took the sedan chair.
"The bride seems to have difficulty moving, as if she was tied up?" Li Shuyi's eyes were sharp.
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes. look carefully,
The way the bride walks is really weird.
The legs are not moving, and they are floating on the ground. This is a common characteristic of all the villagers in Huaiwang Village, so I won't talk about it. But the bride's arms were tightly attached to her body, no matter how she walked, she didn't move at all, as if she was bound by an invisible rope.
"It seems that this bride is the second sister of the Zhou family. She has a very good figure." Li Shuyi let out a laugh.
"What should we do now?" Qiao Rui asked.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "I can't do it yet... There are many things I don't understand. For example, does the welcoming scene happen every day, or does it just happen on the day we entered? If it's the latter, it would be too coincidental A little. And if it's the former... it's even more incomprehensible."
Bai Xiaowen finally decided to wait and see. After all, the secret of Youbaishi has not been solved yet, and everyone has almost no ability to kill these ghosts.
The bride was dragged into the sedan chair, and the welcoming team disappeared at the intersection.
"Go to Zhou's house and look for the diary fragments." Bai Xiaowen led his teammates and climbed into the courtyard wall of the bride's house.
The yard was empty, with a few ridges of soil, probably the place where the Zhou family grew their own vegetables, but it has long been deserted. There is an abandoned well beside the soil ridge, and behind the well is an old stone mill.
Bai Xiaowen frowned slightly: "Is this the Zhou family? It doesn't look like it. It's hard to imagine that an outsider who was sent down would have something like a stone mill."
Several teammates had already searched in the yard separately, but they didn't find any fragments of the diary.
Suddenly, Qiao Rui said: "Captain, take a look, there is something abnormal here."
Bai Xiaowen walked over.
On the stone mill, there are two deep stains, as if deeply embedded in the stone, which cannot be removed after a long time.
The point is, close to the stone mill, you can smell a strong smell of blood.
"This should be blood, but it has dried up like this, and there is such a heavy bloody smell, it is really abnormal..." Bai Xiaowen frowned, between the stone mill and the abandoned well, he also saw blood, but blood clots smaller.
Bai Xiaowen took a few steps back, took a look around, and said, "The second sister of the Zhou family must have been forcibly pulled out of the house. She was also really violent. She hit the stone mill first, but she didn't die, and jumped again. Well. I think there should be harvest in the well, and I should go down to have a look.”
Li Shuyi shrank her head, and even Qiao Rui turned pale.
Han Xu said, "I'll go."
"No need." Bai Xiaowen waved his hand, and Kitz appeared in a noble dress.
"Kitts, go down and have a look." Bai Xiaowen chose a fixed-point airdrop, targeting the wellhead.
Keats: "???"
The sound of coughing came from the well, and Kits' voice sounded: "Boss, what are you doing, it's full of ashes."
"Did you find anything?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"Nothing." Keats said.
Bai Xiaowen turned on Kitts' shared vision and scanned the well, but he couldn't see anything.
"Strange……"
Bai Xiaowen frowned and thought, since the ghost bride jumped into the well, there must be something strange in the well.
Kits turned into a swarm of bats and flew out of the abandoned well, slapping the dust on his body: "It's strange... well, it seems a little cold down there? But I'm a vampire, and the temperature difference really doesn't make any difference."
"Maybe it's because you're a vampire, not a living person." Bai Xiaowen's eyes suddenly lit up. "It seems that we can't be lazy and use summoned creatures to find the way. I'll go down and see for myself."
Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures are basically undead, and Rage Claw is a beast, so it is difficult to trigger the strangeness in the well.
"Xiaowen, be careful." Li Shuyi said.
"Well, the well is weird in the yard, and there are no other clues. Shuyi, you and sister Qiao go to Zhou's house to look for it first. Old Han, you are at the mouth of the well, help me guard it."
After Bai Xiaowen finished speaking, he jumped into the well.
The wind howled, one second, two seconds, three seconds...
It hasn't landed yet.
Bai Xiaowen felt something bad in his heart. When Kitts went down the well, he fell to the bottom. The abandoned well was at most three to five meters deep. But now it seems that they can't beat thirty or fifty meters!
Bai Xiaowen danced and danced, trying to grab the wall of the well in the air, but he failed repeatedly.
"Should I not fall to my death?"
Bai Xiaowen touched the scroll with his fingers, and at the same time opened his eyes as hard as he could, looking down.
The lower part is shrouded in a dense fog, like a monster with its mouth wide open, it's hard to see clearly.
Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen's figure stopped, and he felt his feet touched the ground, but he didn't feel the pain of falling from a high altitude.
There was an obvious feeling of weightlessness and dislocation, and the next moment, Bai Xiaowen was already standing in a courtyard with a dazed expression on his face.
Familiar stone mills, familiar wells, and familiar earth walls.
"This is clearly the Zhou family's yard... just now I had the illusion that the universe was upside down, as if I entered the world in the mirror, and my head was up and down for a moment. Then this yard, in terms of space, should not be the yard where Han Xu is. .”
Bai Xiaowen let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he is courageous and has strong judgment. Other people might not be able to recover for a long time.
This mirror space is also a gray sky.
Suddenly, a sound of gongs and drums came from far and near. Bai Xiaowen's face changed: "No way, there is also a welcoming team here?"
Different from watching the wedding from the sidelines before, this time Bai Xiaowen was in the yard, and what he saw was the situation at the bride's house.
With the shout of "the auspicious time has come" outside, two stout women pushed open the courtyard door and came in. The door of the house was also opened, and the bride was wearing a red auspicious dress and was tied up with ropes. There were also two thick women pushing and shoving her out.
"Hua Yurong, don't be in the midst of blessings and don't know your blessings. How many girls in Liu's village want to marry Da Liu? After you enter the house, you can eat and drink without worrying about eating and drinking. You don't have to go to the fields to earn work points, and you can enjoy leisure... "
Under the red hijab, a voice sounded:
"I see. Can you untie me?"
"Yo, that's not going to work. If you're looking for a life and death again, what can we do?"
"No, I've already figured it out. Besides, if you are tied into the sedan chair by force, can your old Liu family afford to lose someone?"
"That's the reason... Well, since Yurong has figured it out, let her untie it, and walk through the door in a friendly manner..."
Bai Xiaowen seemed to be a transparent person, and those thick women turned a blind eye to him. When he reached out to touch it, he only passed through the air, and the other party was just an illusion.
Soon, the rope was untied.
The bride in red pulled off her red hijab, revealing a pretty face with a little heroism. She said sharply:
"I, Hua Yurong, am a ghost, and I will never marry the Liu family!"
The four wives were taken aback for a moment, and before they had time to speak, Hua Yurong rushed towards the stone mill.
There was a woman standing on the road, seeing Hua Yurong approaching fiercely, subconsciously dodged away. Suddenly there was a buzzing sound, the stone mill trembled, Hua Yurong's head was dripping with blood, and two spots of blood splashed on the stone mill.
The welcoming team outside the courtyard seemed to have heard the commotion, and someone followed in immediately. The leader, a middle-aged man wearing a felt hat, said anxiously, "What? Why are you seeing blood..."
The three wives surrounded Hua Yurong, all terrified.
"The head of the house, Hua Yurong said she had figured it out, so I untied the rope, but who knew she bumped into it..." The last woman, the wife of the village head Liu Fu, said in panic, "Fortunately, No one is dead, you can forget about it..."
The man in the felt hat was taken aback for a moment, and repeated: "You're not dead, are you?" His expression quickly returned to normal, and he snorted, "Isn't this not dead! Who are you scaring? Let me tell you, Hua Yurong, you have to go through the door today , alive is a member of the old Liu family, dead is the ghost of the old Liu family! Kidnap her away!"
Hua Yurong punched and kicked, and several thick women were thrown aside. As a large number of people from the welcoming team rushed over, Hua Yurong suddenly screamed, rushed over and jumped into the well.
