There was indeed a row of undulating graves in the wild grass by the river. Some of the graves had even been destroyed by water, revealing the rotten coffins inside.
It is not uncommon to build tombs along rivers, but they are all in relatively flat areas and not too close to the river.
Building a cemetery along the river bank at the foot of a mountain, regardless of the feng shui, will inevitably flow into the river through the cemetery during the rainy season. After a few heavy rains, the tombs will be washed away. If the river water rises sharply, the cemetery will also be submerged in water. Who would let their ancestors rest in peace under water
However, there is not only a grave here, but more than one. What is going on
I took two steps forward with the flashlight, and suddenly a few figures appeared from behind a grave. I raised my hand to signal Shi Heshang not to move, and walked forward with the flashlight.
As soon as my left foot stepped onto the river bank, I saw a green ball of fire suddenly appearing around the cemetery. The fireball was only the size of a fist, and it floated around the cemetery in high and low places like fireflies in summer, reflecting the moonlight in the sky and dyeing the entire cemetery with a layer of green light.
It was only then that I saw that the people who had left the bus were actually sitting stiffly in the cemetery. Three or five of them formed a small circle, sitting face to face without moving, except for Guan Qingyan, who was sitting facing the river.
When I saw Guan Qingyan, she had also noticed my presence and kept winking at me, as if telling me to leave quickly, or as if saying that she couldn't move and asked me to take action quickly.
When I looked down from Guan Qingyan's face, I found that there was a chair made of tombstones under her body. Someone had crossed two tombstones to form a chair shape, and Guan Qingyan was leaning on the tombstones that served as the back of the chair, unable to move.
"Ghost eyes, open--" After I opened my ghost eyes, countless more figures appeared in the cemetery. A group of ghosts in colorful robes sat together with the living people in a staggered manner. Each of them put their arms around the living people next to them, and talked and laughed in their ears - those people did not want to move, but were held down by the ghosts and did not dare to move easily.
Two little ghosts like paper dolls stood on Guan Qingyan's left and right. One of them held her shoulders, while the other sat on her legs, with half of his body leaning on Guan Qingyan's arms. As long as Guan Qingyan lowered her head slightly, she could see the ghost's pale little face.
When I turned to look at Monk Shi, I found that we were separated by more than ten ghosts at a distance of five or six meters. The ghost standing next to me saw me turn around and even looked at me and smiled.
I nodded slightly to the other party and made a gesture to Monk Shi to remind him not to act rashly.
I just tried to move forward two steps, and I heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from the left side of the cemetery. When I turned around, several bloody dead people had already walked out from the depths of the cemetery, surrounded by the pale Guan Xingyu. The driver and Xiao Yuan who died in the car at the beginning were among them. I have also seen the rest of the people. They are either the bodyguards of the Jiang family or Guan Xingyu's classmates. They should be the dead people who ran away as Monk Shi said.
Several dead people sent Guan Xingyu to the open space in the center of the cemetery and then retreated. On the other side of the cemetery, a female ghost wearing a red veil appeared. The female ghost was led to Guan Xingyu by the ghost dressed as a matchmaker, and then she stretched out her hand and shook hands with Guan Xingyu.
In the moment when the man and the ghost held hands, I clearly saw Guan Xingyu's body tremble - his consciousness was clear, but his body was no longer under his control.
Ghost marriage? That female ghost is going to hold a ghost marriage with Guan Xingyu here
As I was thinking, the soul-calming bell of Shi Heshang suddenly rang like crazy, and the ghosts standing around him suddenly screamed and flew in all directions. In a blink of an eye, the sky and the ground were full of people running back and forth, and some ghosts even rushed directly towards me in panic.
When I saw a ghost rushing towards me, I suddenly turned around and let the ghost run away from me. I shouted to Monk Shi: "Go!"
Originally, I wanted to see what the ghosts were up to, but now the soul-soothing bell suddenly exploded, and the ghosts were frightened. I couldn't hide anymore, so I reached out and pulled out the Rakshasa from behind, and slashed at the nearest ghost with a knife. The moment the Rakshasa's knife broke through the air and fell, the ghost was split in two with a scream, and turned into two pieces of splashing phosphorous fire that fell to the ground.
After I put away my knife, the first thing I did was to look at Ye Jin in the distance. What I didn't expect was that he could not only see ghosts, but also use a machete to chop the approaching evil spirit into two halves.
The moment Ye Jin put away his knife, I clearly saw a black and red evil spirit bursting out from his blade. It was that evil spirit that shattered the ghost in front of him.
Ye Jin has killed people, and more than one.
Only people who have killed people will have evil spirits on them, and only then will people be afraid of them. Although it is difficult for ordinary people to see evil spirits, that kind of aura cannot be hidden from the eyes of a sorcerer. As long as a certain aura on a person reaches a certain level, even if he is not a sorcerer, he can still keep ghosts away and even kill them. However, there are too few such people. Even an executioner who kills people for a living may not be able to accumulate the evil spirits to kill ghosts.
Ye Jin is about the same age as me. Where does the evil spirit come from
Although I was curious, I didn't have time to think too much, because the ghosts near the cemetery were already surrounding me, and the only thing I could do was to swing my sword to kill the ghosts.
When I once again forced back the evil spirits around me, I heard Guan Xingyu crying, "Wu Zhao, hurry up and save me..."
The moment I turned around, the female ghost standing next to Guan Xingyu said affectionately: "Husband, the auspicious time has come, don't delay the wedding."
Guan Xingyu, who was still shouting desperately just now, suddenly became weak and followed the female ghost obediently towards Guan Qingyan. The only ghost who did not move in the whole scene shouted loudly: "Bow to heaven and earth..."
“Bows to my parents…” Guan Xingyu and the female ghost bowed down to Guan Qingyan who was sitting on the stone tablet.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
When the red-clothed female ghost and Guan Xingyu bowed to each other, Guan Xingyu turned his wrist upwards, and a cold light suddenly flashed from his sleeve, and a sleeve arrow shot out from his hand without warning. The female ghost was close to Guan Xingyu and was completely unprepared. The moment the cold light of the sleeve arrow penetrated the female ghost's body, she let out a heart-wrenching cry, and the veil covering her head fell sadly: "Husband, you... you..."
Guan Xingyu turned up his sleeves in a panic: "It's not me... It's not me... I don't know where this thing came from, I don't want to kill you..."
The red-clothed female ghost seemed not to hear the other person's words. She just looked at Guan Xingyu with eyes full of heartache and smiled sadly: "Husband, you still took action... I thought... forget it... What's the point of saying these things now? Husband, I will still wait for you, wait for you to come to me."
After the red-clothed female ghost showed a trace of a miserable smile, her figure began to become fainter and fainter, until she disappeared from my sight, Guan Xingyu sat down on the ground: "Wu Zhao, Wu Zhao, save me..."
“Sit there and don’t move!” I waved my hand and chopped the ghost in front of me with a knife. When I quickly rushed towards Guan Xingyu, the ghost that was still fighting with me desperately suddenly withdrew and flew out.
I watched as a fierce ghost whose arm was chopped off by Ye Jin didn't even care about the revenge for the broken arm. It dragged its arm covered in phosphorous fire and flew into the distant weeds with a scream.
The dead bodies standing in the distance seemed to have their strength drained away all at once, and fell to the ground one after another.
"Monk, be careful!" I called out to Monk Shi, then walked over to pull Guan Xingyu up. However, he took advantage of my unpreparedness and pushed me hard: "Wu Zhao, what do you do for a living? Why…"
"Pa" - I raised my hand and slapped him, shutting up all the rest of his words: "I'm telling you again, don't think you can order me around just because you're my employer. If you do it again, I'll chop your claws off."
Guan Xingyu covered his face and shouted, "Brother Jiang, kill him for me!"
"Xiao Yu, shut up!" Guan Qingyan came over with a pale face. Although she had not recovered from the shock just now, she knew what she should do. "Xiao Yu, you are too presumptuous. Mr. Wu rushed in to save us, how could you treat him like this?"
"He fought for his life? He saved us?" Guan Xingyu said sternly, "It was the hidden weapon in my sleeve that drove away the female ghost just now. What does it have to do with him? By the time he came to save me, I would have been dead."
"You..." Guan Qingyan was so angry that her face turned pale, but she couldn't say a word.
Guan Xingyu said: "Sister, I don't want to use him now. What can he do? Apart from standing there and watching the fun, has he ever played any role?"
Guan Xingyu pointed at me and shouted, "The dead are around us, but he can't see them."
"The group of people welcoming the bride pushed the car down the hill, and he couldn't stop it."
"I almost got married to that female ghost just now, but he couldn't even come. How can I trust him?"
Guan Xingyu cried, "Sister, let's replace him! Let Brother Jiang call Taoist Ling Xu to come over, otherwise, we will be killed by Wu Zhao sooner or later."
Jiang Yan also took the opportunity to chime in: "That's right! Qingyan, if I had any prejudice against him before, I was wrong. But now you can see that Wu Zhaozhen has no ability at all. If you let him stay, that wouldn't be..."
I watched Guan Xingyu and Jiang Yan singing in unison with cold eyes, and never made a single excuse for myself from beginning to end.
Guan Qingyan bit her lip and looked at me, obviously in a dilemma.
She probably believed Guan Xingyu's words, but felt that it was inappropriate to chase me away in the middle of the night, so she couldn't make a decision... (To be continued)
