Chapter 353: Yinshan Village
The shadows of the seven Eight Immortal Tables were reflected on the six walls of the tomb, reflecting forty-two shadow tables, and the shadows of men, women and children sat down by the shadow tables on the walls, joked with each other and conversed familiarly, as if it were an ordinary countryside banquet scene.
These "guests" spied on Bai Liu from time to time, but it seemed that there was something even more terrifying suppressing these shadow spirits, keeping them honestly in their seats, not daring to leave their seats without authorization to pursue Bai Liu's shadows, but only looking at Bai Liu with longing.
Bai Liu looked up to the main wall of the tomb, two corners below the main wall were lit with two red candles that were about to be burned to the end, and under the red candles there were some burned out paper money and incense ashes.
Reflected in the wall of the Eight Immortal Table shadow towards the front of a somewhat strange, the table of the southwest and north are full, only the east seat is still empty two positions, no one to sit.
Mu Sicheng also noticed the vacancy, "...... Who are these two positions empty for?"
"This is a wedding banquet." Bai Liu's eyes swept over the two candles, "The center seat of the main table facing east is reserved for the newlyweds."
"Newcomer?" Mu Sicheng frowned, he looked at the shadow of the eight centimeters table on the wall as if he was caught in some kind of memory, but couldn't remember it for the life of him, "Why do I find this location so familiar ......?"
Mu Sicheng's words had not yet fallen, when a sharper voice came from far away, interrupting him: "--Please, the guest of honor welcomes the guest!"
The voices of all the shadows talking in the wall stopped.
As the main table eight fairy shadow table around do not know when appeared two shadows, style step toward the main seat.
A shadow with a square posture, covered with a head, wearing what should be a flag wedding dress, bowed his head and nodded, and sat down on the main seat with slow steps.
The other shadow, with monkey headphones, erect, dressed in a trendy tracksuit, leaned casually back in his seat, reached around the back of his bride's seat, and pulled a slow, evil grin that cracked up to his ears at Mu Sicheng, who was beyond the wall.
The moment these two shadows took their seats, the shadows all bowed their heads respectfully, no longer, or not daring to, look over at Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng.
"Grass!" Mu Sicheng pointed at the wall with wide eyes, "That shadow is me, isn't it?!"
Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng's pale, almost invisible shadow with understanding, "It's you."
Mu Sicheng looked incredulously at the shadow, "How could my shadow be sitting in the main seat?"
"You should have paid your respects here, in that case, you are one of the newcomers and are qualified to sit at the main table's main seat." Bai Liu looked to the Mu Sicheng shadow sitting on the main seat, "This shadow should be your prana, you need to fuse it back together before your shadow is fully independent."
Bai Liu looked to Mu Sicheng: "Or you're done for."
Mu Sicheng asked back in shock, "What!?"
The eunuch-like shrill yell resounded again, "--Please, the guest of honor feasts alone with his honored guests!"
The two shadows that had just taken their seats stood up again, and Mu Sicheng's shadow glanced back at Mu Sicheng, the arc of the smile on his face widening, his red mouth and black face looking oozing.
It made a provocative come-with-me gesture to Mu Sicheng, got up and walked inside.
That bride's shadow followed in small steps, obviously not seeming to walk fast, but sticking close behind Mu Sicheng's shadow, her covered head against the back of Mu Sicheng's shoulder, water dripping down from her covered head with every step, her head hanging abnormally low.
"Follow." Bai Liu followed the two shadows without hesitation.
Those two shadows walked extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the back door of the chamber.
The back door opened automatically, and they looked back at Bai Liu and the others, as if to see if they had followed them, and after ascertaining that Bai Liu had followed them, they disappeared behind the wooden door moments later.
Bai Liu went after him, and Mu Sicheng asked as he ran, "How am I going to blend that shadow?"
"Find your body and burrow into it." Bai Liu quickly trotted after the shadow without looking back while narrating clearly to Mu Sicheng, "You and it are both the souls of this being [Mu Sicheng], your carriers are both bodies, and the soul is the □□□ master, you enter and it is naturally forced to be sucked in as well, and you and it will be able to merge."
Mu Sicheng breathed a sigh of relief, "That sounds pretty simple."
"It's not easy." Bai Liu retorted calmly, "It's rather the hardest."
Mu Sicheng stared blankly and asked, "Why, isn't it just a matter of finding the body?"
"In theory." Bai Liu finally gave up sweeping Mu Sicheng with his afterglow and asked, "But do you know where your [Prana] hid your body?"
Mu Sicheng was stunned again as he snapped to attention, "You mean it's going to team up with the other ghosts and goblins in the main catacombs to hide my body?!"
"Hmm." Bai Liu nods, "It knows that after you enter the body it will be forced to inhale the body and merge with you, then disappear, so of course it, as an [Evil Spirit] that wants to be independent, will try to find a way to thwart you from finding the body."
"One more thing, and although your [soul] should not have performed the three rites of heaven and earth with those brides, but your prana was able to go to the main seat, so it is obviously the guest of honor here."
Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng : "This can only mean one thing, that is, after you were stripped of your body, it stayed in your body to manipulate your body to complete the three rites of heaven and earth, marrying one or some of the ghost brides here, and is already half the owner of this tomb."
"All the ghosts and evil spirits here are at its beck and call, and it will only get harder for you to find your body."
"Once twelve o'clock passes, once the path to the netherworld is closed, if you can't go back to the Yangworld with a complete human body." Bai Liu glanced at the cell phone time and turned his head back to Mu Sicheng, "Then you will truly become a ghost of the devourer, and your body and the prana that remains inside will truly become a zombie."
"It's almost ten o'clock now."
Mu Sicheng's face darkened, "Two hours to go."
Bai Liu looked toward the flickering shadow of a bride around the corner in front of him, "But I don't feel hopeless either."
Mu Sicheng struggled to remain calm, "What do you mean?"
"If it was my [prana] that wanted to take away my body at this moment, the odds are that I would be confirming with you right now the amount of money I will burn for me on Qingming Festival in the future." Bai Liu could still joke in a serious manner at this time.
"There's no need to struggle, my [Prana] will surely lurk silently through these two hours and then wait for me to transform into a ghost to take over my body."
Mu Sicheng still didn't get it, his fists clenched, "But my [prana] didn't lurk, it appeared bright and early because it felt it was in control right?"
"No, I think it's because it's not very smart." Bai Liu shook his head in denial as he rubbed his chin, "After all, it's your [Prana], and it's still missing the ability to think in a human way, so I think it's stupid, but it might be a breakthrough for us."
Mu Sicheng: "......"
Mu Sicheng was furious: "I'm talking to you about business! Can you stop undermining me!"
"I am indeed talking to you about business." Bai Liu patted Mu Sicheng's shoulder and explained without a hitch, "Think about it, if you were your [Prana] and had to suffer through two hours to get a complete and powerful body, would you come out banging on the drums and wandering around, as the guest of honor hosting a big wedding banquet to welcome your rival, and take the initiative of inviting him alone?"
Mu Sicheng's brow wrinkled, "...... No, why would he do that?"
"That's for you to ask, it's your [prana]." Bai Liu looked quietly at Mu Sicheng, "Under what circumstances would you do that?"
Mu Sicheng fell into deep thought, his brows knitting together more and more, and finally became so agitated that he started pulling his hair out, "...... I can't remember a lot of things ......"
Bai Liu patted Mu Sicheng's tense spine while slowing down his tone and guiding Mu Sicheng verbally, "So let me ask it another way, if you're doing this, what do you feel like you're doing it for?"
"If I do this, it should be for the figure ......" Mu Sicheng closed his eyes and took two deep breaths, "Showing off, or fun? It seems like I've often done this kind of thing before by stealing other people's things and showing them off in front of others ......"
Mu Sicheng opened his eyes, his tone downcast and confused, "...... I seem to enjoy seeing people's things right under their noses, but they can't find them in a hurry."
"Why do I like to do such nasty things ......"
"It's pretty nasty." Bai Liu commented honestly as he smiled sardonically, "But your childish nastiness is kind of a big deal when you put it in this place, I think."
Mu Sicheng turned to Bai Liu.
Bai Liu smiled, "I probably know what [you] are going to do."
The shadows of the Bride and Mu Sicheng, after passing around several corners, entered a partial chamber, and Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng followed.
This partial tomb room is lower and narrower than the previous hall, at first glance is the configuration of the bedroom, in the center of the place a very large mahogany carved high-footed bed, the bed hung with a large red gauze net, the bed is covered with embroidered with mandarin ducks and double happiness of the satin quilt cover, four bed warps also hung white lanterns, the lanterns pasted with a red character cut of the Xi, at the moment is glittering with a miserable white light.
There was a thick layer of dust on all these things.
There were no shoes in front of the bed, but densely scattered around the bed in a messy manner were three dozen kinds of wet footprints of different sizes, most of these footprints were compact cloth shoes footprints, only one of them was a pair of sneakers footprints.
Bai Liu glanced inquiringly at Mu Sicheng, who nodded and said with his mouth: Yes, the footprints are my shoes.
An overcast wind from nowhere lifted the heavy red veil hanging over the large bed, revealing a pair of powder blue embroidered shoes standing along the edge of the mahogany bed.
The pair of embroidered shoes were hidden, if at all, on the edge of the bed, still dripping and seeping down.
Mu Sicheng was so frightened by the pair of embroidered shoes standing beside the bed that he moved back a step and was held down by Bai Liu.
Bai Liu walked to the bed with a smooth demeanor, he looked down at the pair of embroidered shoes standing beside the bed, and used both hands to lift the red veil hanging on the wooden bed to the sides.
Mu Sicheng gasped in shock at what he saw.
