Chapter 336
"The rule says 'people can move about normally after death', could this be the case?" Sheng Xi asked.

"It's very possible, but this person is not necessarily himself." Yuan Xian said.

The two were talking, when the second and third children in green clothes saw them and rushed over: "Two fellow daoists! I... our boss..."

"Hey! What are you running for?" The boss in green chased after him, and the other two hurried away without talking to Sheng Xi.

Before the other party came over, Sheng Xi put on the life-saving door lock, and pulled Yuan Xian away.

The rules only say that "from Haishi to Chenshi, the Yanfu guest house with the door locked is absolutely safe", and it doesn't say whether it is safe or not outside this period of time.

The housekeeper was instructing his servants to set up the wedding hall in front of the main room. When he saw Sheng Xi approaching, he turned around and ran away, not giving Sheng Xi a chance to help him correct his bad habits.

When Sheng Xi chased after him, the housekeeper had already disappeared.

The helpful Sheng Xiaoxi was so disappointed that she could only turn back to the main room.

The wedding hall, which was still blood-splattered three feet last night, has just been decorated.

The servants all wore uniform white hemp bunts, hung red lanterns and tied red satin on the ladder.

The word "囍" facing the door has just been hung, and on the long table against the wall are red candles, fresh melons and fruits, and a neatly folded red hijab.

The pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water faces up, the embroidery is exquisite, and there are tassel tassels for weight on the four sides.

The house was very clean, there was no blood at all, not even the smell of blood.

"Miss sister, how about the Xitang last night?" Sheng Xi politely asked the maid who was laying out the fruit plate.

The other party seemed to be unable to hear her, and he was doing his own thing.

Sheng Xi asked several people in succession, and it was the same.

It appears that these are NPCs with no lines.

Taking advantage of the dawn, Sheng Xi and Yuan Xian walked around Yan's mansion.

As a large household in Wanjinzhuang, the layout of Yan's house is very strange.

As the main room of Xitang, the courtyards on both sides are wing rooms, and Sheng Xi and the others stayed in the east courtyard wing room last night.

The pattern of the wing rooms in the west courtyard is the same as that in the east courtyard, except that there are no locks on the doors of the six wing rooms.

There is a yard behind the Xitang, but there is nothing behind the yard.

According to the normal layout, behind the courtyard of Xitang should be the back house of the Yan Mansion, which is the living place for the women and children of the Yan Mansion.

But with the current layout, there is no room for the master and servants to live in in the entire Yan Mansion, only guest houses in the east and west courtyards, and a hall for receiving guests.

Sheng Xi found it hard to understand: "Where is the wedding room?"

Yuan Xian turned over the wall and found that there was another family in Wanjinzhuang outside the yard, and there was no shadow of the wedding room at all.

"There is no wedding room, but there is a stable behind the yard."

【No. 11: The stables have been burned for many years, and there are no grooms or horses in the village. 】

Sheng Xi jumped up and down the wall, but Yuan Xian stretched out his hand to give her a hand.

The two brothers and sisters stood on the courtyard wall and saw a stable made of pitch-black burnt wood outside the courtyard.

The stable looked like it had been through a fire, and there were no horses in it.

But there is fresh horse grass in the stone trough, and there are saddles and bridles with red borders hanging on the wall beside it, and there are clear horseshoe marks on the ground.

Because the stables are smelly and the owner often uses horses for travel, they are usually located near the remote areas of the front yard and not near the back house.

"The layout here becomes more and more strange." Sheng Xi said, looking at the cliff at the entrance of the village, becoming more and more confused.

Who would choose the address of the village on the edge of a cliff?
Are you not afraid of rocks falling from the cliff and hitting people?
"Several of the rules are related to marriage. You have to solve the mystery of Wanjinzhuang before you can leave. I suspect that this mystery has something to do with this big wedding." Sheng Xi said.

Yuan Xian also guessed the same: "The layout here cannot be judged by common sense, maybe the wedding room is not here, let's go look elsewhere."

Yuan Xian landed, and together with Sheng Xi searched carefully in the yard.

After confirming that there were no clues to the marriage room, the two walked out of the gate of Yan Mansion.

There were people coming and going on the street. The people who hid in the house last night seemed to have come out to move around.

These villagers are dressed in simple clothes and have dull eyes, which are consistent with those NPCs in the Yan Mansion who have no lines.

"Old man, what time is it?"

"Little sister, what's your name?"

Sheng Xi approached several people politely, but got no response.

Suddenly, she heard a voice: "Is the girl new here?"

Before Sheng Xi could respond, Yuan Xian covered her mouth and dragged Sheng Xi away.

Sheng Xi obediently didn't struggle, and when she turned around, she saw that the person who had just talked to her was wearing a gray cloth bunt, with a horsewhip hanging from his waist.

[No. 12: The man wearing the gray cloth bunt is the groom. No matter what the groom says, please pretend that you didn’t hear it and don’t respond. 】

After walking a short distance, Sheng Xi gave Yuan Xian a look of "she understands", signaling Yuan Xian to let go of her.

The two were about to talk, when the groom came over again: "Girl, don't look for them, those people are all dumb. If you don't understand anything, just ask me, I know everything."

Sheng Xi and Yuan Xian pretended not to hear, and continued walking forward.

The groom chased them: "Don't go so fast, I know you are monks, you definitely want to leave here. I have a way to help you!"

"The rules you got when you entered the village were incomplete, and only I know all the rules."

"I know everything that happened in Wanjinzhuang, don't you want to know why this place has become like this?"

He chattered after Sheng Xi and Yuan Xian, seeing that they were walking faster and faster, they just ignored him, and the groom reached out to lift Sheng Xi's skirt.

However, before he touched his hand, Yuan Xian slapped him away with the scabbard.

Fearing that Yuan Xian would be fooled, Sheng Xi hurriedly dragged him away.

The groom couldn't catch up with them, so he stood still and shouted at them: "Only I can help you get out of here! Don't regret leaving now!"

Sheng Xi ran a long distance in one breath, and she was relieved when she was sure that the groom did not catch up.

She found a big tree to climb up, and stood on a high place with Yuan Xian to observe the people coming and going on the street.

"Brother, have you noticed that the only groom in the village is wearing a gray bunt. Although there are many girls, no one is wearing red."

"These two kinds of clothes should only be worn by certain people." Yuan Xian said after a pause, signaling Sheng Xi to look not far away.

The second and third children in green clothes who had clashed with them last night were walking through the street ahead.

The two looked at the pedestrians around them awkwardly, and wandered around the village entrance, trying to find a way to leave.

Sheng Xi had already visited the entrance of the village, but there was no exit at all.

At the gate of the village entrance, no matter how you go, you will stay in place.

The boss in green was not with them, maybe he was thrown away by them.

Sheng Xi thought about asking them if they had any clues.

Although the two of them had nothing to do with each other last night, they remembered to avoid the green-clothed boss this morning, which meant that they still had some brains, and they might be able to cooperate.

The brothers and sisters descended from the tree and walked towards the entrance of the village.

When they were still some distance away from the entrance of the village, the groom found the two first: "You two want to leave Wanjin Village? I have a way."

The second child in green clothes and the third child looked at each other, they both thought of Rule No.12, pretended not to hear what the groom said, avoided him and walked forward.

The groom chased after him relentlessly: "Don't leave, both of you, what I said is true. Only I can help you leave."

He chased the two of them and talked for a long time, when he saw that the other was ignoring him, he suddenly slapped the youngest in green on the face.

The slap was so loud that Sheng Xi could hear it from far away.

The boss in green was furious, and immediately fought back, kicking up.

The groom was kicked to the ground, stood up clutching his sore spot, and flew onto the third child in green: "A dog bites Lu Dongbin—doesn't know a good heart! I want to help you leave and it's so troublesome!"

"Who wants your help—chirp—" the young man in green yelled angrily, and in the middle of speaking, the words that came out turned into a horse whining.

He was shocked, "How could I tweet——"

As soon as he opened his mouth, there was the sound of a horse, and he covered his mouth in horror, only to find that his hands had turned into horseshoes.

Brown-yellow hair grew on his face and body, and a ponytail grew behind him. His body was bent on the ground, and he became a big brown-yellow horse in the blink of an eye.

The groom stood up from the ground with a smile, and reached out to rub his head: "Good horse."

The groom looked at the second child in green with a smile: "I can help him leave, how about you? Do you want my help?"

The second child in green was trembling all over, covering his mouth tightly, not daring to let himself make a sound.

He turned around and ran, rolling and crawling towards the interior of the village.

Sheng Xi and Yuan Xian didn't come forward again.

The green-clothed youngest transformed into a horse stood docilely beside the groom, apparently no longer the original him.

The two walked back.

Sheng Xi calmed down and analyzed in a low voice: "It seems that after talking to the groom, he will turn into a horse. But beating him is not a big problem. The youngest in green is fine when he fights. He turned into a horse after talking back. .”

Yuan Xian nodded slightly: "If the horse is changed by the people here, what was the laughter that appeared with the sound of the horse's hooves on the street last night?"

The laughter sounded like someone was laughing, but it didn't sound like a human being could make it.

Sheng Xi panicked at the thought of that laughter, and quickly rubbed his arms.

Wanjin Village is not big, and the brothers and sisters searched the whole village, but couldn't find any clues.

Halfway through the application time, Sheng Xi and Yuan Xian walked back.

[Article [-]: You must attend the Yan Mansion wedding banquet in Youshi, and there will be no bride in the wedding banquet.If you see the bride, run away immediately. 】

After Shenshi is Youshi, they have to return to Yan Mansion before Youshi.

If he had more time, Sheng Xi wanted to find out the butler and beat him—to find out some real news.

For example, why do the rules say that there is no bride at the wedding reception.

Before approaching Yan's mansion, there was suddenly a cheerful and festive sound of blowing and beating on the street.

The crowd on the street scattered in horror, Sheng Xi pulled Yuan Xian up and ran away.

Behind the panicked crowd, a group of people in white clothes with big red flowers on their chests, blowing suonas and gongs, came towards the crowd at a strange pace that seemed slow but was actually fast.

[Article [-]: Those who wear red flowers on their chests are welcoming people. If you meet a welcoming person, please run away immediately. 】

While escaping for his life, Sheng Xi met the last survivor of the green-clothed trio—the green-clothed second child.

Seeing Sheng Xi and Yuan Xian, he showed joy, and hurriedly asked, "Have you found any clues?"

"Do you have a clue?" Sheng Xi actually found out a little bit, but now he has to run for his life and has no time to elaborate.

The second child in green was complacent: "The rules on the paper are all related to the Yan Mansion's wedding banquet, and it is estimated that the mystery is also related to it."

This discovery is the same as Sheng Xi's.

Sheng Xi was about to nod in agreement, when he suddenly found that the second child in green grabbed her arm and pulled her back forcefully.

"I have a guess that needs the help of a fellow daoist to confirm it!" The green-clothed second child grinned at her, throwing Sheng Xi back forcefully.

The relatives were chasing after them. If Sheng Xi was thrown into this group of people, Sheng Xi would be dead.

The second child in green wanted to see if Sheng Xi would really become a groom, and if he would go to Yan's mansion to pay homage after becoming a groom.

He can't beat the one in black, can't he also beat this kind of little girl that he can lift with one hand?

However, before this thought was finished, his body was suddenly grabbed.

"Do you know that the effect of force is mutual?" Sheng Xi grabbed his arm with his backhand, using him as a support point, and overspeeded in front of him.

In this way, he was the first to be caught by the welcoming staff!

"Get out of the back!" The second child in green yelled angrily, grabbing Sheng Xi's arm and trying to replicate her actions, trying to pull Sheng Xi behind him.

"Let go!" Yuan Xian drew his sword.

"You're dreaming!" The second child in green retorted, and suddenly felt that Sheng Xi's hand on his arm had loosened.

In the next second, blood gushed out.

The green-clothed second child's sight was occupied by the bright red blood before he felt the pain dully.

Yuan Xian cut off his hand holding Sheng Xi's arm with a sword!

Only then did he realize that Yuan Xian's "let go" was not meant to him at all, but to Sheng Xi!
Someone grabbed him from behind, a pair of pale-skinned hands, like a zombie, strangled his neck tightly.

The joyful sound of welcoming the bride became more and more piercing, and the suona seemed to be right next to his ears.

He wanted to struggle, but he couldn't break free at all: "Let go of me! Get out of here! No—don't come here!"

The welcoming staff took out a red gauze hat and put it on his head.

Countless wounds appeared on his body, as if his flesh and blood had been cut by countless invisible knives.

Blood flowed out from it, stained the clothes, and was absorbed by the clothes.

The green clothes were gradually dyed red, and his expression became more and more desperate, and finally turned into a smile, which was fixed on his face.

The greeters let him go.

Wearing a bright red wedding dress stained red with his own blood, he stood beamingly on the street arranging his clothes, as if he was really a happy groom.

[Article [-]: If you are caught by the welcoming staff, you will become a groom. 】

【Article [-]: Becoming a bridegroom during the day will kill you. 】

After Sheng Xi and Yuan Xian got rid of the group of people, they hid on the roof of a family and saw the whole process.

"He's dead." Yuan Xian whispered.

Sheng Xi recalled the tenth rule: "If you become a groom during the day, you will die, so what will happen if you become a groom at night?"

Yuan Xian didn't know: "Junior Sister, do you think the groom he has become is a real groom?"

[No. 16: The real groom will only appear after the bride appears. 】

Sheng Xi couldn't be sure: "At first I thought he should be a fake, but his severed hand grew back. Could it be that he was taken away or possessed by the real groom?"

Although the first rule is that spiritual power cannot be used here, it may be possible to use other rules to achieve the above goals.

Everyone on the street avoided, and this group of welcoming team in white clothes and red flowers on their chests was particularly eye-catching.

Suona gongs and drums sounded again, becoming more lively and festive.

A group of people happily walked towards the Yan Mansion.

Sheng Xi hurriedly dragged Yuan Xian to take a shortcut back.

Youshi had to attend the wedding banquet in Yan's Mansion, and they couldn't be caught by the welcoming staff. They had to return to Yan's Mansion before the welcoming team.
