Chapter 831: Ghost Matchmaker (Two in One)

Qiao Rui still kept her eyes closed, maintaining the communication with the ghost bride Hua Yurong, she spoke at the same time, speaking quickly: "Hurry up and make a decision, Hua Yurong is waiting for my answer yes or no..."

Undoubtedly, if you choose "Yes", it means standing on Hua Yurong's side.

If you choose "No", the consequences are hard to say, Hua Yurong may turn around and attack, or directly chase away the guest.

Bai Xiaowen did not hesitate: "Promise her."

Qiao Rui let out a long breath, her tense nerves relaxed. On the other hand, Hua Yurong's attitude towards the crowd seemed to have eased up a lot, but that face was really terrifying, and even the smile made people shudder.

Bai Xiaowen quickly said in the team channel: "The Liu family is a common surname in the village. Choosing route a means standing on the opposite side with a large number of ghosts in Liujia village. Although it is difficult to complete, there are so many ghosts to kill. This will greatly increase our revenue.”

Li Shuyi said: "The ghosts in the Liu family village are too annoying, and they won't let them go even if they are dead. I also agree with route a."

Han Xu said: "But the ghosts here are immune to damage, how should we deal with it?"

Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "Don't worry, this ability to be immune to damage comes from Youbaishi, and since Hua Yurong has a broken Youbaishi on her body, there must be a way to deal with it. Don't forget, this is just a B-level guild mission, it is Tested by psionic particles."

On the ghosts in Huaiwang Village, this state of "blessed by Youbaishi" can be understood as a compulsory puzzle-solving rule. The awakened person must first solve the mystery, find out the true identity of the ghost bride, and communicate with her before he can live here. A land of ghosts, fighting heartily.

Of course, on the side of the ghost matchmaker Liu Siye, there should be corresponding trigger conditions for the mission line, most likely contacting the ghost Liu Fu. But no matter which side you choose, you must complete the puzzle and have a deeper understanding of the history of Huaiwang Village.

On the other side, Qiao Rui is still communicating with Hua Yurong. She looked sideways at Bai Xiaowen, with a look of surprise and admiration in her eyes, and said, "Hua Yurong just told me that she can help us solve the interference of the Youbai Stone on Liu Fu and others... Your guess is right. However, This ritual requires our blood."

"everyone?"

Qiao Rui nodded.

"Okay, I'll come first." Bai Xiaowen followed the instructions, walked over first, and stood beside the red coffin.

Hua Yurong's left paw pinched Bai Xiaowen's wrist.

The spirit world rule prompt: "Hua Yurong, the ghost bride, is about to launch the blood curse seal on you. Do you agree?"

"Agreed!" Without the notes he saw along the way and the puzzle-solving process in the mirrored space, Bai Xiaowen might still be pounding in his heart. But after knowing the inside story, Bai Xiaowen knew that Hua Yurong could be trusted, at least in dealing with the Liu family.

With Bai Xiaowen's consent, his blood flow accelerated, and the veins on the back of his hands were exposed. On Hua Yurong's other claw, the sharp nails slashed across, and a stream of blood spurted out, which was swallowed by Hua Yurong's mouth.

After taking the blood, Hua Yurong's ghost claw flicked on Bai Xiaowen's wrist, and the wound healed immediately, but there was a strange human face mark at the place where the blood was taken.

"No matter how you look at this process, it's a bit evil..." Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and launched an insight into the face mark on the back of his hand.

[Blood Curse (Ghost Bride): You are now a member of Huaiwang Village. If you can't achieve the ghost bride's obsession, you will bear her curse and stay here forever. 】

After sharing the effect of the blood curse in the team channel, Li Shuyi muttered: "Why does this blood curse look like a negative state?"

Bai Xiaowen said: "Hua Yurong is a fierce ghost full of resentment, it is impossible to expect her to trust strangers like us, only a curse in the form of a contract can make her feel at ease. And the first sentence 'You are now Huaiwang Village A member of ', it is already a positive effect, which means that we can launch an attack on the ghosts in Huaiwang Village."

"Then if we fail to achieve our goal, wouldn't we have to be trapped in this treasure space forever?" Li Shuyi said.

Qiao Rui also said: "Yes, there are two other first-tier teams. If they choose the ghost matchmaker's mission line and win the final victory...wouldn't we be in trouble?"

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "No, if the opponent wins another quest line, it means that Hua Yurong and Mr. Hua will be eliminated, and the curse on us will naturally be invalidated."

Based on their trust in Bai Xiaowen, the teammates stepped forward one by one and accepted Hua Yurong's blood curse.

Qiao Rui said: "Hua Yurong asked us to destroy tomorrow's ghost marriage ceremony, she doesn't want to endure this kind of torture anymore."

"The dark marriage ceremony? Hasn't it already been held?" Li Shuyi said.

Bai Xiaowen was thoughtful: "It seems that the ghost marriage ceremony is not a simple one, but a practice that is held every day... I said it couldn't be such a coincidence that we happened to have a ghost marriage on the day we came in. So, tomorrow The welcoming team should come again and snatch away the ghost bride Hua Yurong again..."

"At that time, I clearly saw a ghost bride tied to a sedan chair. So what is this beautiful woman?" Li Shuyi felt that her brain cells were not enough.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "I don't understand either. However, the Liu family should have a special reason for doing that."

The five left Hua's house. After going out, Li Shuyi said with a smile: "Xiaowen, you also made a mistake one day. The ghost bride is not the second sister of the Zhou family, but Hua Yurong. You didn't expect it, did you?"

Bai Xiaowen hummed: "I really didn't expect it. It seems that there are some twists and turns... We can go to the next door of Hua's house to look for it. We should be able to find the diary fragments and learn more about the inside story. Of course, for those who have a clear quest line For us, this step is unnecessary.”

"The Hua family is next door... That's right, there is a fragment of a diary saying that the Zhou family is next door to the Hua family." Li Shuyi said.

In the end, the five of them went to Zhou's house first. Sure enough, everyone in the Zhou family found two diary fragments.

After reading these two pages of the diary, the five of them were a little stunned.

It turned out that the reason why Zhou Bin left home was that the college entrance examination was resumed, and he was admitted to university, so the burden of the family was all on the second sister of the Zhou family... dragging Zhou Xiaoduo and the disabled Zhou's mother, the two burdens, led to Zhou Bin's death. Life at home was difficult, and sister Zhou Zhou had to promise to marry Liu Fu's lame son.

Zhou Bin went home during the winter vacation and made a big fuss, but it didn't help, so he could only acquiesce to this fact.

Later, Zhou Bin was rehabilitated on a large scale. Through the relationship with the father of his girlfriend in the provincial capital (emphasis here), Zhou Bin allowed the Zhou family to be rehabilitated and had the opportunity to return to the city. However, the second sister of the Zhou family was married to Liu Fu's son. , unable to return to the city to settle down.

Zhou Bin and Tuesday's sister want to forcibly divorce and return to the city, but Liu Fu has been running the Liu family village for many years, so is he a vegetarian? Fourth Master Liu gathered the men in Liu's five uniforms, surrounded Zhou Bin and beat him up.

Hua Yurong came to the rescue, but somehow things happened, and Hua Yurong became Liu Fu's son instead of Sister Zhou. According to Zhou Bin, this is an expedient measure, but since then, Zhou Xiaoduo has never seen Hua Yurong again...

There is no more content in the diary here.

Li Shuyi said with full of sympathy: "It turns out that Hua Yurong was covered like this. She must be waiting for Zhou Bin to pick her up. No wonder she became a ghost after death. This resentment is too deep... But her obsession, is it true Does it have nothing to do with Zhou Bin?"

Bai Xiaowen squinted his eyes and thought for a second, then said: "Some things must have happened later, which caused Hua Yurong's hatred for Liu Siye, Liu Fu and others far exceeded her admiration and resentment for Zhou Bin. But I don't know exactly what happened..."

Bai Xiaowen shook his head, put away the remaining pages of the diary, and said, "It's okay not to mention the story of a silly girl and a heartbroken man... Now, it's time to help Hua Yurong get rid of it."

"Hua Yurong asked us to destroy the ghost wedding ceremony. Should we wait until the next day when the wedding team arrives?" Qiao Rui asked.

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Don't wait. If the Liu family wants to hold a ghost marriage, there must be a ghost matchmaker and a groom officer. It is the most direct and time-saving way for us to kill Liu Fu and his son and that Liu Siye directly."

After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said: "Don't forget that we are not a team, and there are two teams competing with us. Now our first-mover advantage is very small, we must as soon as possible... I have prepared a plan for this."

Bai Xiaowen then told his teammates about his plan. The final arrangement was that Han Xu and Qiao Rui stayed at Hua's house, while Bai Xiaowen took Li Shuyi and Cecilia to the village head Liu Fu's house.

Maybe it was the time for ghosts to rest, the road was quiet, there was no ghost, and the doors of every house were closed.

The three of Bai Xiaowen came to the door of Liu Fu's house all the way, and when they were about to climb over the wall and enter, suddenly there was a creak, and the door opened automatically.

"Come in... I've been waiting for you for a long time." A slightly old voice sounded from inside the door.

In the twilight, two will-o'-the-wisps lit up in the courtyard of the Liu family. They turned out to be two human head lamps. Under the dim halo of will-o'-the-wisps, Liu Fu and Fourth Master Liu stood side by side, and the jumping firelight made their already pale faces even more gloomy.

Bai Xiaowen hesitated for a moment, then looked back.

Fourth Master Liu, who had just spoken, coughed, "Since you're here, don't think about leaving."

At intersections, in alleys, under eaves, behind walls...

A series of ghost images floated out, blocking the retreat of Bai Xiaowen and the others.

These shadows are all ghosts with the appearance of young and middle-aged men, staring at Bai Xiaowen and the others expressionlessly.

Bai Xiaowen tilted his head: "You know we're here?"

Fourth Master Liu said: "The ghosts in Huaiwang Village are all under my control. You were not ghosts here before, and I didn't pay attention to them. But now you have Hua Yurong's blood curse on you, as long as you come close to me , I can feel it."

After a pause, Fourth Master Liu picked up the half piece of white jade hanging on his chest, and said leisurely: "After all, I am the owner of this half piece of Youbai stone."

Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes: "Are you a human or a ghost?"

The wrinkles on Liu Siye's face stretched out, and he said with a smile: "Of course I am a human being. I am probably the last living person in Huaiwang Village, right? But you should understand that after staying in this ghost place for a long time, people and ghosts There is no difference."

"The old man doesn't talk like an old man in the village." Bai Xiaowen said.

Fourth Master Liu waved his hand and said, "Speaking of arrogance, old man, I have watched Feng Shui for half my life, and I have crossed more bridges than you. Young man, you are in a catastrophe, and you still don't know how to repent?"

"Ok?"

Liu Siye said: "After Hua Yurong turned into a fierce ghost, the whole village was imprisoned by relying on a piece of white stone passed to her by the old man Hua, and the whole village became ghosts after her. If I hadn't set up a trap , took away half of Youbai Stone, and these innocent villagers will never be reborn. If you help her, you will end up harming yourself.”

"What you are doing is too dishonest," Bai Xiaowen said. "The robbery caused people to throw themselves into the well, so they should be punished. And now you are still marrying ghosts every day, it's just too deceitful."

Fourth Master Liu shook his head: "The dark marriage ceremony is just to dispel Hua Yurong's resentment. She is a ghost who died unjustly. I can only let these innocent villagers get rid of her resentment and take back the remaining half of Youbai Stone." The souls of the dead are no longer restrained. The ghost marriage ceremony is held once a day, just like peeling off the cocoon, Hua Yurong's original grievances have almost disappeared, and it will be successful in a few months.

Bai Xiaowen sneered and said, "To dissipate the grievances, how can there be any reason to repeat the scene of snatching the bride over and over again? I see you uncovering the scars in Hua Yurong's heart again and again, is it because you want to tame her?"

"It's okay to talk about taming," Fourth Master Liu nodded, "Young man, do you know the consequences of being planted with a blood curse by Hua Yurong? Give you a chance to help me set things right, and I can help you undo the blood curse after the matter is over, how about it?"

Seeing Bai Xiaowen shaking his head, Fourth Master Liu snorted, and looked at Li Shuyi and Cecilia again: "Your companions are already obsessed with ghosts, and now only I can save you..."

Li Shuyi glanced at Bai Xiaowen. It has to be said that the process of Hua Yurong planting the blood curse and the explanation of the blood curse before were very strange and terrifying, full of evil spirits, and far less reliable than Fourth Master Liu in front of him.

"Did we really choose the wrong side?" Li Shuyi thought of this, and looked at Bai Xiaowen again. Seeing the latter's indifferent expression, the doubt in Li Shuyi's heart dissipated immediately.

"How could I have such an idea? Xiaowen can't make a mistake." Li Shuyi thought this way.

Cecilia also trusts Bai Xiaowen extremely, unwaveringly.

Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Old Mr. Liu, don't waste your efforts. If I guess right, your mental suggestion can only magnify the doubts in others' hearts and shake them. However, we don't have any seeds of doubt in our hearts." No matter how strong the mental suggestion is, it is useless..."

Before Bai Xiaowen finished speaking, Fourth Master Liu, whose face changed color, immediately shouted angrily: "Tear him up!"
