Chapter 65 Concubine Banquet
Early in the morning, a large queue formed outside Chen's house. They were all people who came to show off their talents and prepare to have lunch and dinner. Tang Yue and the other five were well-mannered and wore good-quality clothes, which was particularly noticeable among a group of idle people in the city.
Although the others were also neatly dressed, they were all wearing ordinary people's clothes, mostly dark cloth. Many people looked at the five of them strangely.
"It's careless. We should buy some common clothes before attending the banquet." Tang Yue looked surprised.
Senior Brother Qian shook his head, "It's my negligence. You are young and don't know this is normal."
Murong Hai continued to fan himself, "No, we have girls and children who have not left the palace. Children are already very conspicuous, and clothes are nothing.”
Tang Yue felt that Murong Hai was right, they were very strange in the first place, and that was not the case.
Ruan Ying looked at Murong Hai's appearance and complained: "I think the spring fan is more conspicuous."
Murong Hai laughed it off.
After a while, it was the turn of the five of them. The housekeeper saw that the two men had extraordinary manners and good clothes. He guessed that they were disciples from some down-and-out family who had no choice but to come to have a meal.
The two of them look good, and attending the wedding banquet can be considered an added attraction.
But he glanced at the three girls next to him and frowned: "Why did you bring your sisters at home? They are too young. Just bring the food back to them after the dinner."< br>
Tang Yue raised his eyebrows, feeling that they were just freeloaders, so he took a few steps forward and offered his hands to the housekeeper, "Butler, even though we are young, our abilities are not inferior to those of my brother. "
Hearing this, the housekeeper asked: "Oh? What are the skills of the three of you? "Are these three here to be concubines?
But the master is not good at this, so it is still okay to be a maid for the young master.
Looking at his expression, Tang Yue knew that he didn't want to do anything serious, so he endured it for the time being, "Let the brothers show off first, and then it's our turn."
The housekeeper said indifferently : "Then let's start showing off these two little brothers."
Anyway, the people outside looked poor, and he didn't want to take a second look. These people were good-looking, and it was good to kill some time. .
Murong Hai went up to set up a simple enchantment formation, and said to the steward: "Please enter this formation, it will be difficult to get out after entering."
The steward sneered in his heart, trying to be mysterious, so he They placed rocks and trees on the ground and walked over casually. These young people were just not practical and thought about these unreliable things all day long.
"After I walk over, the five of you can go back directly." There was a bit of anger in his words. These people actually wanted to fool him, so don't think about the dinner.
The housekeeper walked in casually. When he wanted to walk out directly, he couldn't take another step forward. He kept walking in the same place and couldn't move away. He was shocked and said: "What's going on?"
The steward boy next to him saw him like this and thought that even if he liked the appearance of these two young people, there was no need to pretend to be like this!
So they all hinted to the housekeeper that the drama was over!
The housekeeper was angry, what are they winking at? Do you think you did it on purpose?
"What are you doing standing there? Come and help me."
The boy walked over in confusion, and then found that he couldn't get out. No matter how he walked, he stayed in the same place.
He looked at Murong Hai and begged for help: "Master Immortal, please release us quickly, it's too scary."
The housekeeper also said quickly, "Yes, Master Immortal, yes I'm blind and didn't recognize your identity. Please unlock the formation for me and arrange a first-class seat for you."
Actually, Murong Hai didn't care where he sat, he just showed off his family a little bit. It was just a secret knowledge, but unexpectedly it still scared mortals.
"I'll untie it now."
After the housekeeper and the boy were able to come out, they hurriedly stood on the other side, not daring to get closer to the formation. Murong Hai picked up the stones and branches and threw them aside. of flower beds.
The servants who were watching the excitement at the flower bed were startled and hurried away from the garden, for fear that those things would trap them in it.
"It turns out that the master knows magic, so we are neglecting him. You can sit down directly without showing off."
Just kidding, those who are with the master, even if they are not masters He is also a relative and friend of the master. How dare he neglect him? Just setting up the formation is enough to make the Chen family treat him as honored guests. It is also appropriate to entertain those who come with him.
Tang Yue asked the butler, "Then the three of us don't have to show off?"
The butler waved his hands repeatedly, "Everyone, please come to your seats. I will take you to your seats."
This saves trouble. Senior Brother Qian handed over his hand and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey!" Originally, he was not interested in performing talents for mortals.
The housekeeper led them to the wing in the outer courtyard. The formal banquet started in the evening. He received these people from early in the morning to check who among the people in line was really capable and worthy of the banquet.
They were about to enter the wing when they met two acquaintances. Murong Hai said excitedly: "Qianchen, as expected, nothing happened to you! We also found Sister Shui."
Opposite Shui Qianchen and Shui Wanqiu were also surprised. They had not met other monks for so long, and now they bumped into five at once, and they were all acquaintances. "It turns out that the immortal masters know each other. I will find a large guest room for you so that you can reminisce about the past."
None of them objected and followed the housekeeper.
Before they sat down, Murong Hai said to Shui Qianchen: "Unfortunately, Yang Xing will never be able to go back with us."
Shui Qianchen was a little surprised, "I I thought he lost his life when he went to another place."
Murong Hai told him what he knew. The disciples of the aristocratic family had almost grown up together, and they all had feelings for each other. So Shui Qianchen and Murong Hai were a little touched by Tu Yangxing's death.
Especially since the Murong family and the Tu family are family friends, he grew up watching Tu Yangxing, so he felt even more sad.
“It’s like this. Dashui sent me to this place. I thought that Yang Xing would be sent to other places later. I didn’t expect that he would stay alone in Guyue Village for more than ten years.”< br>
Then he sighed softly, "I should have pulled Yang Xing to stop the evil deeds in Gu Yue Village with me. Now he is still alive and there is still hope to go out with us."
Senior Brother Qian comforted him, "The secret realm here is strange and irregular, making it difficult for people to start. No one would have thought that the key to finding Guyue Village is the souls of the dead in the lake."
"Furthermore, if you want to see the souls in the lake, you need to break the cycle of death and life. We can't find it by ourselves, which makes the chance of finding clues even smaller."
Shui Qianchen nodded, no wonder he never found out There was something strange about that lake, and I thought to myself that these five people were really lucky. They were as lucky as themselves, and they found a way out by accident.
Senior Brother Qian asked the important point, "Qianchen, why did you and your sister come to this wedding banquet? Is there really something fishy about this wedding banquet?"
Shui Qianchen said, "That's right, this Let’s start with when I found Wan Qiu.”
He was swept away by the flood in Guyue Village, completely unable to resist, and came to another town inexplicably.
At first, he couldn't find any clues. The town was very ordinary. Although there was some aura, there was nothing evil. He didn't meet any other immortal cultivators.
He had no choice but to continue searching while practicing. One day he went to check the cemetery in Jiangshui Town, trying to find the black and white impermanence that seduced the soul, and maybe he could ask some questions.
When he arrived at the cemetery, a burial ceremony was being held. What was strange was that the funeral objects used by this family were red and white. One side was wearing white mourning clothes and the other was carrying a red sedan.
Funeral music is also very festive, not like a burial, but like a wedding. He just watched these people and saw what they wanted to do.
Some servants entered the dug tomb and opened the coffin lid. The people on the other side pulled the bride out of the sedan and forced her to the tomb.
He guessed that these people might be using living people to match ghosts. Uncivilized mortals are so superstitious and often do useless things.
The bride's figure looked familiar. Just when he was thinking about who she looked like, the bride fell off her red hijab during the struggle, revealing her appearance. It turned out to be Wan Qiu.
The woman next to her yelled, "Oh, it's very unlucky to lose your hijab before worshiping."
The next moment, she didn't care about the good or bad luck. Everyone involved in the underworld marriage, except Shui Wanqiu, was instantly separated from their heads and fell down.
Shui Qianchen supported his sister, "Wanqiu, what's wrong with you? Is your spiritual power blocked?" He took out the linen cloth from Shui Wanqiu's mouth.
Wan Qiu burst into tears, "Brother, I don't know, I suddenly couldn't control myself and became a woman named Xia Lan, who was sold by my parents to be married to the underworld."
"My body seems to belong to another person. I can't control what I say or do. I can only stay in my body and watch everything happen but I am powerless. Just now I have a little strength to struggle."
Shui Qianchen comforted his sister, "It's okay now. You may have been tricked by some kind of win-weary spell, and you were acting for someone. The caster was so clever that he completely let you take another person's fate. . ”
Wan Qiu was still sobbing, she was a little scared, and she was almost buried with a rotting corpse.
“Brother, I almost entered this cemetery.”
Upon hearing this, Shui Qianchen used a magic technique to smash the cemetery, and the corpses and coffins were all in pieces.
Then he took his sister back to his place of residence. Half a month later, it was today's wedding banquet for Yuan Chen to take in his concubine.
“After what happened with Wan Qiu, I think the weirdness in Jiangshui Town may be related to the wedding banquets, especially those wedding banquets that force women to do so. After many investigations, we found that there is something wrong with Chen Yuanwai.”
"What's the problem, Mr. Chen?" Tang Yue asked Shui Qianchen.
He glanced at Tang Yue and replied: "Chen Yuanwai was prone to violence. No fewer than twenty concubines died in his hands, usually within half a year."
