Chapter 38
Did you meet a ghost to welcome your bride? And he still met the bride and started to rush back?
In his eyes, the bearers carrying the sedan chair and the welcoming team playing gongs and drums all had pale faces and expressionless faces. There was no sense of consciousness in them. They must have been paper figures.
Only the woman dressed as a matchmaker at the front and the two guards beside her had moving eyes, condensed souls, and bursts of cold air.
Ye Wentian thought for a moment and then prepared to tease them. He walked around the mountain road and ran to the front of the team in a roundabout way. He jumped out and stood in the middle of the road.
"Robbery!!!"
The team immediately stopped, the beating of gongs and drums stopped, and even Jiaozi's cry disappeared. The three ghosts standing at the front were frightened by Ye Wentian's shout that resounded throughout the forest. They were so frightened that they couldn't help it. ,too suddenly.
"Who are you? Didn't you know that this is my ghost king's wedding party?! Leave quickly and you can forgive your ignorance."
The matchmaker sensed that the living person in front of him didn't have a trace of cultivation, but when he saw his gloomy team, he didn't show any fear on his face. He thought he had something to rely on, so he didn't want to get into trouble, so he decided to move on first. The place where the bride is sent is most important.
"Who do you care about me? The men stand on the right, the women stand on the left, and the eunuchs stand in the middle. So all the money is handed over to me, and! The sweetheart in the middle stays. I have taken a liking to this bride."
Ye Wentian continued to hide.
"You are toasting and not eating and being fined with wine. Take him back to add more food!" The matchmaker was also angry, thinking that if you don't listen to her good words, there is nothing you can do about it. No matter what you have to rely on, you will not be able to come or go today. .
The two guards in the ghost soldier realm on the side rushed directly towards Ye Wentian after hearing this, trying to control him with both hands.
Ye Wentian stopped making trouble, raised his hand and fired out two sword energy, one on the left and one on the right, hitting the ghost soldiers. The sword energy penetrated the soul body and knocked back the two ghost soldiers by a foot.
Before the two ghosts could react, they condensed two Five Thunder Curses. There was a glimmer of light in the sky, and two thunderbolts appeared out of thin air. In an instant, they hit the air, and the lightning entered their bodies, immediately knocking the two ghosts out of their wits. .
Thunder is the nemesis of evil spirits and ghosts. The remaining lightning followed the evil aura and connected the entire wedding team not far away.
Those paper figures dissipated into nothingness without any reaction. Only the matchmaker was still struggling to hold on, with a pale face, struggling to resist the invasion of the electric light.
On the contrary, the sedan was peaceful. Ye Wentian felt the gaze and turned to look at the sedan. He saw that the curtain on the side of the sedan was slightly opened, and there was a curious and inquiring gaze looking this way.
Realizing that Ye Wentian's eyes had forgotten the past, they looked at each other and quickly lowered the curtain, feeling faintly afraid.
Ye Wentian smiled slightly and understood the thoughts of the person in the sedan.
After a few breaths, the lightning dissipated, and the matchmaker's soul had become transparent, as if it was about to dissipate.
"Who are you? Aren't you afraid that my ghost king will seek revenge?"
"Haha, I'll be waiting here. If you feel like it, just call it over."
"You~ wait..." Seeing that Ye Wentian had not made any next move for a long time, the matchmaker seemed to really want to let him go. She left a harsh word, turned around and ran away. In a few breaths, she disappeared into the air and disappeared.
Stepping forward, Ye Wentian said to the sedan:
"Come out, it's alright."
After a moment of desolation, the curtain slowly opened, and out came a little girl who was plainly dressed, sallow and thin, but her facial features could be vaguely seen in her brows. Her timid eyes made me feel pity for her, and she looked extremely cute.
"First...sir, I~I~have no money."
"Don't be afraid. I'm not a robber. I was just joking."
After Ye Wentian explained, the little girl relaxed slightly. She had lowered her head just now and did not look at Ye Wentian carefully. Only then did she have time to look at it carefully.
He just felt that the person who saved him was well-dressed and extremely good-looking. When Ye Wentian saw her looking at him, he quickly responded with a harmless smile.
When the little girl saw this warm smile, she was no longer afraid and felt at ease.
Later, Ye Wentian asked about the origin and found out that the little girl lived in a small village not far away. Her parents died unexpectedly when she was seven years old, so she lived alone in the house left by her parents.
The reality is that there are so many good people and good things in this world. Ever since her parents died and left her alone, the children in the village have often bullied her. The village is full of hunters from the mountains, and there is no extra food for her.
She made a living by digging wild vegetables on her own. Later, one of the families thought the girl was pretty and planned to raise a child bride for their own child.
There was an extra person, and there was no extra food to eat. They usually gave them some leftovers to eat, just to survive without starving to death. They were often beaten and scolded, and they were forced to do housework and farm work.
I am young and have no strength. If I escape, I will only become the prey of the wild beasts in the mountains. She has been suffering like this for five years, until today she was kidnapped by the matchmaker and prepared to be sent to the ghost king's palace to be a ghost bride.
Ye Wentian clicked his tongue in amazement, and thought to himself, there is something about this ghost king. This girl is only twelve years old, does not usually have nutritional supplements, and is only as tall as Ye Wentian's waist. Such a child can be killed.
I have already made a decision in my heart. What kind of fetish is the most disgusting? It is only because of your bad luck that I met you. No matter what you say tonight, this ghost king will be beaten to pieces.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let the matchmaker go just now. If she didn't come to seek revenge, I would have had to find it hard. If she didn't let her go, I would have been forced to lead the way.
Stopping his thoughts, he took out a mink robe from the space and put it on the little girl. The night wind was bleak and a bit cold.
He picked up a lot of branches from around and lit a fire. The two sat down by the fire. Ye Wentian took out the cooking utensils, cooked porridge, and took out some snacks and handed them to the girl.
The girl took it carefully and cried while eating it.
"Big brother, you are so kind!"
"Eat slowly, and drink some later when the porridge is ready."
Ye Wentian smiled, feeling even more pity in his heart. He really didn't know what kind of suffering she had gone through. He wiped away the tears on her face with his hands, took out another piece of meat, threaded it on a branch and roasted it slowly.
Half an hour later, the girl had enough to eat and drink. She put away the cooking utensils and tableware, and the two of them quietly warmed themselves over the fire.
Ye Wentian was also a little impatient at this time. He waited and waited for the ghost king not to come yet, and was about to go find him.
Suddenly, there was feedback from the spiritual sense. There were many evil auras three miles away that were approaching quickly, and they were close after a while.
"You're the one who ruined my good deeds?!"
Ye Wentian saw the man speaking, surrounded by black mist, wearing a dark black robe that shrouded his whole body, floating in the air, and surrounded by many ghost soldiers, including the matchmaker.
