Volume 1 Uncle Nine's World Chapter 82: Marriage, Soul-stealing
The public security in the city is pretty good. It seems that this commander is not the kind of person who takes money but does not do his job.
"Uncle Fu, let's find an inn to stay in first."
After obtaining Uncle Fu's consent, Ren Tingting asked people to start looking for an inn. After all, it was a city and there were many inns. It didn't take long to find a similar one.
Although it was already evening, there were still people singing and drinking tea in the inn.
Ren Tingting looked at the sky, hesitated for a moment, and said to Jiale, "Jiale, do you want to go out for a walk?"
Take a stroll?
Jiale looked outside and was really interested in seeing what the county town was like at this moment.
"OK."
When Ren Tingting saw Jiale agreed, she smiled happily and said, "You guys go up first. Jiale and I will go shopping."
It was almost dusk, but the stalls on the street were still there. It was obvious that Ren Tingting was very happy, looking here and buying there.
Jiale didn't care and just followed along aimlessly.
But after just two turns, I felt it was boring. Although the things on the stalls were rare, they were just so-so and of no use to Jiale. The only difference was that the food there had a different flavor.
"Jia Le, there is a foreign goods store here, let's go in and take a look."
There is also a foreign goods store in Renjia Town, but it is full of fake things and Jiale is not interested in it. But after entering this one, he found a lot of good things.
There are a lot of cigars, clocks, etc.
Jiale looked at a pocket watch and thought it was good. Although he could tell the approximate time by observing the sky, it was still very convenient to have a watch.
"How much is this foreign watch?"
"Five oceans."
As expected of a foreign product, it’s expensive.
“Can it be cheaper?”
The boss was not unhappy when he heard this. "Sir, the prices of our products are clearly marked. No bargaining is allowed."
Jiale took a look and found that it was indeed marked with a price, so he simply spent five dollars to buy it. After all, he was now very wealthy, so it was no problem for him to splurge occasionally.
After Ren Tingting bought another set of clothes, they returned to the inn.
"You have heard that Marshal Long's father has died."
Marshal Long!
Jia Le stopped walking. It seemed that Uncle Jiu’s childhood sweetheart, the handsome husband, had the surname Long. Could he be this handsome man?
He shook his head and stopped caring about it. The main target now was Nintendo, and there was no need to worry about other things.
Nothing happened that night, and everyone set out again the next day.
After passing Anping County, you will soon enter the territory of western Hunan.
"Tingting, at this speed, we will be able to reach Renjia Town in about three days."
Uncle Fu seemed very happy when he spoke. Traveling is very tiring. It’s okay for young people, but he, with his old bones, can’t bear it.
After hearing this, Jiale calculated the date. If it was three days, when they arrived, it would be the fourth day of the New Year, and there were still three days until the funeral.
It has to be said that the Ren family is indeed a wealthy family in the entire Xiangzhou. In this era, many villages and towns were developed because of a certain family or clan, and the names of the villages and towns were named according to the surname of this wealthy family. For these wealthy families, this is also an honor. Renjia Town, where Nintendo is located today, is one of them.
It is unknown how many so-called Renjia villages and Renjia towns there are in the whole Xiangzhou.
After another two days of walking, the group entered western Hunan, but compared to southern Hunan, western Hunan was obviously less populated.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to find a place to stay tonight, so we'll have to sleep in the wilderness."
The group hurried along the way. Uncle Fu missed home eagerly and thought that if they hurried faster, they might be able to reach Renjia Town in the evening. However, although it was a good idea, in reality it would be good if they could arrive by noon tomorrow.
Sleeping in the wilderness!
Everyone was suffering. Sleeping in the wilderness like this, they might not be able to sleep the whole night.
There were seven crows scattered around. Jiale saw through the crows' vision that there was an abandoned house not far away and said something immediately.
"You don't have to camp in the wilderness. There's an abandoned house ahead. If you're willing, I can take you there."
Deserted house!
Everyone was delighted to hear this, thinking that living in a deserted house was better than sleeping in the wilderness.
"Okay, let's go over there."
No one bothered to ask Jiale how he knew that, and they just agreed. Jiale nodded and led everyone forward.
Not long after, it became dark.
Walking in the wilderness, everyone was in a panic.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."
At this moment, a series of rhythmic suona sounds were heard, and everyone was startled. Who is getting married so late at night?
Jia Le's expression became serious when he heard the voice. He wondered if he had been having conflicts with ghost marriages recently. He looked towards the source of the voice and found that it was different from before. This was a ghost wedding and the person in the bridal sedan was also a ghost.
Seeing this scene, Jiale heaved a sigh of relief. As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a soul. A ghost marriage is still a marriage, and Jiale doesn't want to ruin other people's weddings.
"Stop, close your eyes for a moment. Open them when I tell you to. If anyone opens them prematurely and gets taken away by a ghost, don't blame me for not reminding you."
ghost!
Everyone was startled and quickly closed their eyes. Ren Tingting and the two maids hugged each other and didn't even dare to raise their heads.
After Jiale finished explaining, he didn't say anything more and started to recite the "Shangqing Divine Mantra". This was taught to Jiale by Simu. It was not a magic spell, but was only used to identify one's identity. Most of the Maoshan disciples knew the Shangqing Divine Mantra. If they encountered some monsters and ghosts outside, they didn't necessarily have to fight and kill them as long as they didn't harm people.
People do human things, ghosts do ghost things.
Now that it's a ghost lady getting married, she certainly doesn't want to cause any trouble, it's just like a living person getting married, they want to be harmonious. What's more, Maoshan still has some status, as long as they show an attitude of not disturbing each other, generally both demons and ghosts will give some face.
The sounds of music were getting closer and closer. Everyone was nervous, but they remembered Jia Le's words and did not dare to open their eyes to look.
Not long after, the sound of suona came to their ears, and gusts of cold air rushed up their necks. Everyone was trembling with fear and sweating profusely, and they only breathed a sigh of relief when the sound gradually faded away.
However, the more this time comes, the more people can't stand the loneliness, and their hearts feel like they are being scratched by a cat, and they just want to take a look.
Jiale was the same, but he was only looking through the crow's vision. The bridal sedan that was moving further and further away suddenly lifted a corner and looked towards Jiale. Through the crow's perspective, Jiale couldn't help but be startled.
What a powerful ghost!
Nothing could be seen just now because of the bridal sedan, but now looking at its eerie ghost aura, it is even more powerful than the ghosts killed before. It is probably at least at the ghost level. Jia Le was secretly glad that he did not act rashly just now, otherwise, he would have disturbed the ancestor again.
The female ghost just smiled sweetly and seemed to glance at the sky.
Did you discover something?
Seeing the ghost bride's smile, Jia Le's heart was shaken, and he even felt as if his soul was leaving his body. Fortunately, at this moment, a blue light flashed between his eyebrows, which calmed Jia Le's soul down again.
Jia Le, who had regained his composure, couldn't help but feel a little scared. He would have to be more careful next time. This ghost bride was so powerful that she not only discovered the crow, but could also influence him through it.
Not daring to look at the wedding procession that was gradually moving away, he averted his gaze.
However, Jiale had a feeling that he and this ghost would definitely meet again someday, but next time, perhaps the situation would not be so passive.
At this moment, in Ling Ya's field of vision, two ghosts actually floated out of the team, and in the blink of an eye they joined the wedding procession. Jia Le was so scared when he saw this. After a closer look, he found that two guys in the team had opened their eyes without him knowing when.
You are really asking for trouble. I told you not to open your eyes, so why are you so curious?
Even he couldn't resist the ghost bride's smile just now, let alone them. Now her soul has been taken away and Jiale doesn't even dare to go up and ask for it back.
The wedding procession had already disappeared from sight, and Jiale finally opened his eyes and looked at everyone.
"Okay, open your eyes."
There was a sudden sound of a long sigh in the team, and it was obvious that everyone was terrified.
"It was so scary. I felt like something just passed through my body."
"Yeah, it was pretty chilly. Luckily there was no accident."
…
"Hey, Ah San, Brother Jin, what's wrong with you?"
After surviving the disaster, everyone seemed to have become chatterboxes, and only now did they realize that two people in the team were already half dead.
"Master, Ah San and Jin Ge are dead!"
The other drivers all exclaimed in surprise. Ren Tingting and Uncle Fu also looked over in horror.
Jiale nodded, indicating that he understood. "Ms. Ren, prepare some compensation for them. These two were too curious and opened their eyes. Their souls were taken away. If they don't come back, there's no hope for them."
What!
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Ren Tingting looked at the two of them, then looked at Jiale, and seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Finally, she couldn't help but speak.
"Jia Le, you are so powerful, can't you help them?"
Stupid woman, if he could save her, would he just watch her die? That ghost bride was too weird, Jiale estimated that he might not be able to defeat her even if he used the magic of summoning spirits. He didn't want to do such a thing that would get him killed. He still remembered what Uncle Jiu said before, do it within your ability.
He had warned the two before, but they couldn't suppress their curiosity and had to go and see. Now that they have lost their lives, Jiale has no choice. If this was an ordinary ghost, even if it was as bad as the ghost he encountered before, he would have been willing to snatch it. But in the case of the ghost bride, to be honest, Jiale was sweating coldly.
"I can't help you. Let's go to the house quickly, or we may run into some weird things."
However, from this incident, Jiale also realized that there are still many powerful monsters in this world. He has just encountered one. It seems that he has to be extra careful in the future.
The first rule of Maoshan is: Good and evil are in opposition and fight for life.
The real meaning of this sentence is not that when you encounter demons and monsters, you should rush up and kill them without caring about your life, but it is to warn disciples to keep their minds and be upright, not to degenerate into demons, and certainly not to use the Maoshan Dharma to do demonic things.
Although he wanted the energy beads, he didn't want to play in the peak game.
When everyone heard this, they panicked and hurriedly got up. They didn't abandon the two lost souls. They had to find a place to stay for them. It would not be right to leave them in the wilderness.
Not long after, everyone saw the deserted house.
It was indeed a deserted house, with weeds growing in front of the door and dense nets. From a distance, it seemed that a lot of the walls and the house had collapsed.
Boom!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning came from the sky. Without knowing when, all the stars were hidden in the dark clouds. Everyone did not dare to delay and hurried inside to avoid being wet by the rain.
But this deserted house doesn’t seem to be a good place. When I pushed the door open, I couldn’t help but shiver. The house has a heavy gloomy atmosphere.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Jiale. Along the way, they all felt a little sorry for Jiale's failure to save the situation. No one said anything, but now they thought of Jiale again.
“It’s raining.”
Jiale only said one sentence, and everyone knew that they had no choice. Looking at the weather, it would rain heavily. If they stayed outside, they would be doomed.
Thinking of this, everyone had no choice but to go inside.
Jiale walked in front. This deserted house was indeed a bit weird. The yin energy was so heavy. If there was no problem, that would be the biggest problem.
Jiale opened a relatively intact house. He did not plan to separate these people at night. If they stayed together, he would be able to rescue them in time if anything went wrong. If they were dispersed, he would really be too busy to cope with everything.
"Come on, clean up first. You two can put Ah San and Lao Jin in other rooms."
Uncle Fu began to make arrangements and pointed at two people, asking them to put the two buddies who had lost their souls before to other places. Now they no longer had the sympathy they had just had, and they were also afraid to keep two corpses around them at night.
"Wait a moment."
Jiale stopped the two buddies who were trying to move the body and put two amulets in their hands, "Keep them on you and don't drop them."
The two of them were originally somewhat resentful towards Jiale , but when they saw Jiale giving them the talisman paper, their previous little emotions immediately disappeared.
"Old Five, do you feel that it's not that cold anymore?"
One of them shouted in surprise, and the two of them couldn't help but look at Jiale, realizing that it might be because of the talisman.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest."
When the others saw this, they also looked at Jiale eagerly. Their meaning was very clear: they all wanted a talisman but were just too embarrassed to say it.
Jiale was not stingy and gave one to everyone.
Drip!
The sound of rain could be heard outside. Everyone was cleaning the house. Jiale picked up some firewood and used Maoshan fire technique to start the fire. The fire immediately became brighter and the coldness in the house was dispelled a lot.
"Ah! Ghost!"
Suddenly there was a roar outside the house. Everyone was startled and subconsciously moved closer, as if it would be safer this way. However, their eyes were all on Jiale.
Jiale had already opened the door and walked out, calling out to the two guys who had just carried the body out.
In the next room, the door was still open. Jiale walked in and saw that the two people were still in shock, but they were still alive. Jiale was relieved to see this. Jiale didn't want anyone else in the team to get into trouble.
"What's wrong?"
When the two saw Jiale, they rushed behind him and pointed forward as if they had seen a savior.
Jia Le used Maoshan fire magic, and flames appeared on his fingertips to illuminate the area. Looking in the direction they pointed, he saw coffins lined up on both sides , about seven or eight in total.
After carefully sensing it again, there was indeed no trace of a ghost. Jiale couldn't help but look at the two of them, "Why did you scream when you saw the coffin?"
The two of them felt a little embarrassed and a little resentful when they heard this, but it was no wonder they had encountered so many things that night. First they encountered a ghost, and now they encountered so many coffins. How could they not be nervous?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Move, move!"
The two had just breathed a sigh of relief and were about to explain, but at this moment, the coffin in front of them suddenly moved. The two were suddenly stuck again and pointed at the coffin and spoke excitedly.
Jiale also looked at the coffins with a slightly strange look. At this moment, the coffins were moving violently, as if something was constantly hitting them inside. The coffins were filled with corpse gas, making them look even more weird.
Jiale knew that the bodies in these coffins were probably zombies. There were eight zombies in one yard. No wonder the yin energy was so heavy.
"Okay, you guys go back, I'll take care of them and then I'll go over."
After hearing Jiale's words, the two of them ran away as if they had been pardoned.
boom!
The lids of the eight coffins were opened with a bang. Jiale took a look and found that they were all just white zombies. He felt a little disappointed. To Jiale now, the white zombies were not good enough.
Without waiting for the eight zombies to rush over, Jiale rushed over with the Bagua Dragon Step. His Bagua Fire Palm had already killed more than a thousand zombies, and now there were eight more to come.
The Bagua Palm at the Great Perfection level was able to kill the white zombies one by one. Before long, all eight zombies were killed by the palm and burned to ashes.
After leaving the house, Jiale went to check other rooms. There were only four rooms in the whole house. One was where they were resting, one was where the body was placed, and then there was the kitchen and a wing room. There was no problem in any of them.
"Hey, Taoist priest, you're back so soon."
At this moment, the two buddies were telling everyone what happened just now, but before they finished, Jiale had already come back. They couldn't help but be a little surprised. It was too fast.
"It's just eight zombies, what else do you want? Okay, take a good rest. Now the house is clean. Have a good sleep and continue on the road tomorrow."
