C7 Greeting
Goddess Li nodded his head, then said to me: "That's right, it's you. Even though you have not completely transformed into a demon, you already have the physique of a hemi-demon, so the entire Qingyan Village is controlled by that ghost. The reason why he can't control you is because of your hemi-demon's physique, you have to make good use of this body."
It seems like this demonification isn't entirely a bad thing. Goddess Li's words made me feel less fear towards demonification. I looked at Goddess Li and asked, "Then what should I do?"
Goddess Li enunciated each word, "Go welcome the wedding."
"Meeting the bride!"
Goddess Li's words surprised me yet again, "Could it be that those weasels didn't want to get married to a Mountain Ghost?"
Goddess Li nodded, looked at me and said, "I should have thought about it long ago. Mountain Ghost shouldn't be getting married to just to absorb Yang energy, the biggest reason is to still be willing."
"What do you mean?" My interest was piqued by the Goddess Li.
Goddess Li turned around and looked towards the back of the mountain: "My master told me in the past that there was a wandering soul in the back mountain of Qingyan Village who was wandering around the mountain for a wish. Gradually, I forgot about her existence. I remembered Master's words: whenever Mountain Ghost gets married, you must tell everyone in the village not to go out. Now that I think about it, that wandering soul must be the real Mountain Ghost. "
"Wandering souls in the back of the mountain? "What should I do?" I asked, suppressing my curiosity and fear.
A yellow talisman appeared in Goddess Li's hands, and he handed it over to me. "Child, this is a Thunder Sigil left behind by my master, it's power is strange and powerful, you should keep this Thunder Sigil well, and bring her to the wedding. Once that wandering soul appears, you will throw the talisman at her, and kill those ghosts."
"Will she bite?" I kept the Thunder Sigil.
The Goddess Li nodded her head: "That Mountain Ghost is currently in his lair, controlling all the Soul in the village, she cannot be distracted, and when the time comes, you just need to go and escort the bride, and the one who wants to repay will definitely appear. Guo Shaojie, you have to remember that no matter what, you cannot let that Mountain Ghost fool you, or else you will end up like the people in the village, with the Soul under his control."
"I see." I solemnly nodded, looked at Goddess Li and asked: "What should we do next?"
"Preparations for the wedding." The Goddess Li stood up and said.
The Ghost-welcoming party had to conceal the person's yang aura, otherwise the ghost was unwilling to approach. It needed to wrap the person's body in two pieces of banana leaves, one in front of the other.
The banana belongs to the ghostly wood, so the yin aura is very thick.
A pair of dragon and phoenix candles were tied together with a long rope, the rope's head was tied to its waist. The rope must have enough length, otherwise the bride would not be able to find the way here.
The sky grew darker and darker, until the moon climbed up into the night sky. The night sky was beautiful with countless stars in the sky, but my mood was not beautiful. Following Goddess Li's instructions, I made preparations and hung a rope on my waist.
The Ergou's Home's old-fashioned clock ticked along, and soon, it was past 12 o'clock. When it was time for one o'clock, I looked at the oil lamp in my hands and calculated the time.
The wick of the oil lamp was made from earthworms. Goddess Li and I dug it up from the vegetable patch outside the village in the afternoon.
I lit a cigarette to calm myself down. The long life lamp is also called the lamp, according to the Goddess Li, this lamp cannot be extinguished. He is the lamp that guided me to find the Mountain Ghost, and also my lamp of life.
This time, if he appears, I will use the Thunder Sigil to kill him. If he does not show himself, but rather wants me to bring him back, then I can only rely on the lead rope and the long life lamp to bring the Mountain Ghost back so that the Goddess Li can make a move.
A cigarette soon burnt out. I walked out of the room and looked at the location of the kitchen. Goddess Li was hiding in the middle of the kitchen.
Carrying the bamboo basket that Goddess Li had prepared for me and the long life lamp, I set off on my way.
The rope was lengthening it bit by bit. Looking at the paper money in the bamboo basket, I grabbed a handful and sprinkled it into the air, then said: "To welcome a new person, you must be happy about the money."
The paper money was scattered on the ground, and very quickly, a gust of wind blew, causing the long life lamp's lights to flash, and it seemed like I was the only living person in the entire Qingyan Village, as well as those invisible ghosts were picking up the paper money I scattered.
"A new recruit is here. It's time to send you some money." As I shouted, my courage gradually increased. Every time I scattered the paper money, there would be a gust of wind blowing by, as if something was following me all the way.
I looked down at the long life lamp. The flames in the oil lamp were still leaning forward, which meant that I was headed in the right direction. I threw another handful of paper money and continued walking.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, I finally arrived at the place where Goddess Li killed those weasels. The long life lamp's lights were always aimed towards that small hill, I saw it clearly this time.
After thinking about it, the fear in my heart surfaced again. Suppressing it, I placed the long life lamp on the ground and took out the Goddess Li's red flour cake from the bamboo basket. I placed it in front of the Nameless Tomb and muttered as I placed it in front of it.
"With the long life lamp as the guide and the blood steamed bun as the betrothal. "I came here for the marriage alliance. You alone in the mountain, come out and meet me."
After scattering the last handful of paper money, I stared fixedly at Nameless Tomb. I extended my right hand into my bosom and grabbed the Thunder Sigil Goddess Li had given me, but there was no reaction after a long while.
Just when I thought that I had failed, a cold voice sounded by my ear.
"Young Master, what are you standing there for? Why aren't you quickly bringing me into the bridal chamber and getting married?"
The moment I said those words, I immediately felt something on my back that made me jump. It was as if someone was lying on my back. I tried my best to calm down. Goddess Li had already thought of this, so I couldn't panic.
I followed Goddess Li's instructions, crouched down and picked up the long life lamp, following the lead rope on the ground, this Mountain Ghost is obviously very cunning, I can only bring her to the Ergou's Home, and have Goddess Li make a move.
After walking for who knows how long, I suddenly heard a sneer: "Traitor lied to me once, do you still want to lie to me twice?"
A cold mountain breeze blew past. Startled, I looked down and saw that the long life lamp had been extinguished! Suddenly raising his head, he saw a pale and cold face, exactly the same as the one in the red palanquin that night. The only difference was that there were many black veined patterns on it, like cracks in a porcelain.
The patterns on the porcelain were naturally very beautiful, but when they appeared on a face, it made people shudder!
