Yumu said coldly: "I don't know."

"Then tell me, should I talk to Master Wu about the male corpse on Fuling Mountain now?" Li Jingjing asked Yumu hesitantly.

Yumu drank a mouthful of soup and said in a cold voice: "It's up to you."

With Yumu's permission, Li Jingjing felt much more relieved and immediately turned to look at Master Wu. She sorted out what she was going to say in her mind and said: "Master Wu, Miss Wu's marriage cannot be successful. She can't marry a ghost groom!"

Master Wu froze while eating, and his expression was calm: "What do you mean?"

"Yumu and I went to Fuling Mountain before, and there was no ghost groom on Fuling Mountain, only an ancient tomb. There was a coffin in the ancient tomb, and there was a male corpse in the coffin." Li Jingjing said.

"Male corpse?" Master Wu was puzzled, "Who is this male corpse?"

Li Jingjing shook his head: "I don't know. But we have deduced that the place where this male corpse is located has gathered the Yin Qi of heaven and earth. Now, all it needs is the blood of a woman born in a Yin year, Yin month and Yin time to revive it. If the male corpse is resurrected at that time, the entire Wutong Town will probably not be spared."

At this moment, Master Wu's expression changed. His emotions were difficult to calm down, and he couldn't believe it: "Who is behind all this? Who wants to revive the male corpse?"

"Master Wu, do you still remember the sorcerer named Zixu who came to Wutong Town two years ago?" Li Jingjing asked.

Master Wu listened to the words for a while, "Zixu's sorcerer?"

He recalled, opened his eyes, and was surprised: "Is it him?! The Zixu sorcerer who wanted Qian'er to marry the ghost groom and said that he could suppress the ghost groom's resentment?!"

"Yes, it's him." Li Jingjing nodded with a serious face.

Master Wu shuddered, "If that's the case, that person is unforgivable!" Master Wu gritted his teeth, his expression angry.

This was the first time that Li Jingjing and others had seen Master Wu's face so lively since he came to the mansion, instead of the previous depressed look.

The town encountered such an unfortunate thing, Master Wu was the most prominent official and noble family in Wutong Town. The pleading and coercion of the people left Master Wu no room for retreat, and he could only reluctantly give up and agree to let his beloved daughter sacrifice.

He had no face to face his daughter, no face to face his family, and his heart was tormented.

Now, Li Jingjing told him that everything was the conspiracy of the sorcerer. Mixed feelings of sadness and joy, fortunate and guilty.

Master Wu slapped the table, his expression angry, "I will take the villagers to the mountain to find it now, and I will definitely find the tomb and the sorcerer! I will never let him go after I find it!"

The arrival of night came as promised.

The evening wind in the courtyard was whistling, and the 'sizzling' sound of the iron chain rubbing against the ground still made people's scalps numb.

The red figure was floating behind, and the cold wind blew up her skirt, revealing her pale legs.

"Tick-tick..."

It seemed as if something was slipping away, accompanied by the light tapping of bells and drums.

"Ghost bride, ghost bride,

Don't cry,

Get on the sedan chair, happy;

The sky is majestic, the earth is majestic,

Pray to the gods,

Under the red veil, smile;

Gurgle, gurgle, whose heart is it,

Ghost bride, ghost bride,

My heart is gone, can you give me your heart?"

The gloomy and melodious ballad, with a light tone, slowly, it seems that you can feel the song coming from afar to your ears, grinding against the cold.
