Hao Shuai and the others didn't know how far they had walked. Seeing that it was getting late, there happened to be an inn next to the official road, so the three of them checked in.
After entertaining Yan Chixia with good wine and food, Hao Shuai sent Xin Shisi Niang to the next room again, returned to the room, set up a barrier, and called out Xiaoqian.
No way~~
Hao Shuai has been fascinated by the life-and-death relationship with Xiaoqian in the past two days. The coldness makes him want to stop, as if he has found a new toy.
While Hao Shuai was busy communicating with Xiaoqian, he vaguely heard the sound of extremely lively wind and percussion music coming from the inn.
"Is there anyone holding a wedding in this shabby inn so late at night?" Hao Shuai asked curiously.
Suddenly, Hao Shuai remembered something, got up quickly, put on his clothes, canceled the barrier, and walked out of the room.
As soon as he left the room, Hao Shuai happened to run into Yan Chixia, who also noticed something strange. The two of them came to the lobby together and found that it was decorated as if there was a happy event. There were twenty or thirty square tables and corridor pillars in the lobby.
Red silk and red flowers are hung all over, especially the long table at the end, with red candles burning high, tributes piled high, and a huge happy child posted in the middle.
What's strange about such a festive scene is that there is no one there.
Hao Shuai and Yan Chixia immediately knew that something was fishy. Without opening their eyes, Hao Shuai could sense that the inn was full of ghostly aura.
"What a talent! You can actually do this under my nose without anyone noticing." Hao Shuai praised Yan Chixia.
This was not because Hao Shuai was praising his enemy, but because he really had some moral integrity.
Although part of the reason was that Hao Shuai had set up a barrier to avoid disturbing his good deeds, it was indeed not easy to hide such a large fluctuation in mana from him.
"Stop boasting at all times." After a day of getting along with each other, Yan Chixia finally understood Hao Shuai's temperament and gave him a mild contempt.
After saying that, Yan Chixia saw a large steamer placed on the square table beside her. The steamer was still steaming hot and smelling of meat. Out of curiosity, he went up and opened the steamer.
What I saw was not chicken, duck or fish inside, but a cage of neatly arranged human heads. Now seven or eight heads had been steamed to pieces, and their bones and flesh were somewhat separated, but their eyes were still wide open, looking at
The person who opens the cage.
Seeing such a scene, Hao Shuai couldn't help but feel his internal organs churning, feeling a little nauseous.
But at this moment, the sound of gongs and drums sounded again, and the suona shook the sky, playing festive and domineering music, as if it were a wedding ceremony. Then the door of the inn opened without any wind, and a team of welcoming brides appeared outside the inn.
There were hundreds of people coming to welcome the bride, with a big red sedan in the middle. They stopped at the door of the inn.
"Oh no, it's a ghost getting married!" Yan Chixia's face changed slightly and she whispered, "We are in big trouble."
"Ghost marriage?" Hao Shuai was confused and wanted to ask more clearly. Suddenly, the door of the big red sedan at the door suddenly opened, and a huge attraction came from inside!
"Master~~"
Just when Hao Shuai and Yan Chixia were wondering why the suction had no effect on them, Xiaoqian's horrified voice sounded in the inn.
When Hao Shuai followed the sound and looked around, he saw Xiaoqian being sucked into the red sedan chair by the suction force.
It turns out that attraction has no effect on living people, but it has a miraculous effect on ghosts! Nie Xiaoqian was sucked in directly!
After sucking Nie Xiaoqian, the sedan chair and the wedding team disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Fuck you!" Hao Shuai couldn't help but swore when he came back to his senses. Someone snatched his woman away in front of him. This was a big thrill for Hao Shuai, who had always been smooth sailing.
.
"How did a ghost find that female ghost to get married?" Yan Chixia, who was shocked by the scene just now, asked.
"The person who captured Xiaoqian should be the old Black Mountain demon. I heard Xiaoqian say before that the tree demon has betrothed her to the old Black Mountain demon." Hao Shuai explained.
"What? Old demon from Black Mountain!!" Yan Chixia's face changed drastically after hearing Hao Shuai's words.
"Brother Yan, have you ever heard of the Black Mountain Old Demon?" Hao Shuai asked knowingly.
Yan Chixia nodded and said in a deep voice: "It is said that the old black mountain demon is a black mountain spirit in the underworld. It has been practicing for thousands of years and its cultivation is extremely powerful. It is far from comparable to the thousand-year-old tree demon. In addition, other
There are also a large number of ghost soldiers under his command, and their power is huge and no small matter."
"And since the Immortal Buddha disappeared, the old demon from Black Mountain has occupied the City of Fusi, causing trouble and becoming the tyrant of the underworld!"
"No matter how strong the old Black Mountain demon is, he shouldn't be strong enough to snatch people away in front of my eyes, right?" Hao Shuai asked doubtfully.
If the Black Mountain old demon is really that strong, then Hao Shuai will have to think about it carefully.
"It's not that Heishan is strong, it should be that the tree demon gave the female ghost's birth date to the old demon of Heishan, and the old demon used the birth date to kidnap the female ghost." Yan Chixia explained.
"Isn't it true that only the Golden Pagoda can control Xiaoqian?" Hao Shuai said confusedly. He remembered that the Maoshan Sect's classics said so.
Yan Chixia shook her head and said: "Some people with high magical power can also be controlled through the birth date or the objects of the deceased."
Although Yan Chixia's cultivation level is not high, in terms of understanding of the world of Liaozhai, Hao Shuai is really not as good as a native like him.
"What a misstep!" Hao Shuai thought to himself: "Although I covet the demon elixir of the old Black Mountain demon, I never thought of using this method to lure him into taking the bait!"
"It seems that when you go to other worlds in the future, you should pay more attention to the rules of that world and don't take it for granted."
At this time, Hao Shuai also remembered why the tree demon said before he died that the old Black Mountain demon would not let them go. It turned out that he had been waiting here.
But now is not the time to reflect. The top priority is to rescue Xiaoqian first, so Hao Shuai said to Yan Chixia: "Brother Yan has a way to enter the underworld so that he can rescue Xiaoqian."
"You want to enter the underworld? Then you will face off against the old Black Mountain demon." Yan Chixia said, he had no idea that Hao Shuai would go deep into the underworld for a female ghost to deal with the powerful Black Mountain old demon.
"Brother Yan, not to mention that Xiaoqian has followed me and is one of my people. Naturally, I have to protect her." Hao Shuai said sternly: "Let's just say that we, the cultivators, should kill demons and eliminate them for the people.
The demon is your responsibility, how can you shrink back even a little bit because of the other party's strength?!"
"Ha!" Yan Chixia, who was already prone to being passionate, was immediately excited by what Hao Shuai said. She couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, since Brother Hao is passionate, Yan will sacrifice her life to accompany the gentleman and go to the underworld with you today."
Let’s have a good fight with the old monster from Montenegro!”
"Thank you so much, Brother Yan. I'll tell Fourteenth Mother and we'll set off."
Although the Fourteenth Mother is already a fox demon in the golden elixir stage, she can only serve as a food supplier to the old demon from Montenegro.
As for helping to slay imps~~
What Hao Shuai lacks most is the means and subordinates to defeat mobs.
The Fourteenth Mother followed her into the underworld. She couldn't help her, but she needed Hao Shuai to take care of her...
