After the funeral procession left the village just now, it went straight in a certain direction without any twists and turns.

But now, Qiao Ciguang was not walking in a straight line, but as if walking through a maze, sometimes turning left, sometimes right, sometimes turning his head and walking backwards. And every time he walked, he would stand still for a moment before he could

continue.

After a while, it suddenly became clear before their eyes, and the fog suddenly became much thinner.

I saw a small hillside appearing in front of me. On the hillside, there were dense bulges, all of which were large and small graves.

This is a huge cemetery.

At this moment, the village chief of Zi Village, along with the villagers and many casual cultivators, were digging holes in the cemetery. Judging from the number of tombs they dug, they were preparing to dig out the three coffins next to them and the four corpses on the beds.

, all buried.

Qiao Ciguang and others concealed their bodies and aura, and hid in the distance to spy.

"How come those casual cultivators are also in the funeral procession?" Ruan Zhi's eyes flashed, he looked at the crowd for a moment, and then he suddenly let out a soft "eh" and said through the message.

"I don't know..." Chu Hanbei guessed, "Did they also go to the village chief to inquire about information privately, so that's why...?"

"This is impossible." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shi Wanli, who said through a voice transmission, "Junior sister Chu has been in the sect for a long time and rarely interacts with casual cultivators. She may not know them well."

"These casual cultivators are all a mob, greedy and precious at the same time."

"Even Senior Sister Qiao took what happened to me with caution yesterday, let alone these casual cultivators?"

"Unless there is something life-threatening or the opportunity is right in front of them, they would never dare to take such a risk."

"Otherwise, why would you follow Senior Sister Qiao from the moment you land on the island and refuse to leave?"

When Qiao Ciguang heard this, his heart sank, but he immediately understood the reason why the village head of Zicun was so grateful to them just now.

Yesterday, the village chief entrusted a drummer, and the mourning woman wanted someone to accompany her to mourn, but she didn't agree.

But obviously, these needs of Zicun are still met by casual cultivators!

The person who can do this without telling her is probably Fairy Yu Meng.

However, this matter can only be discussed now when we go back, as there are still other things to do.

Just as several people were transmitting messages and discussing, everyone in Zi Village had already dug the grave and buried the coffin and bed board in it. Next, they performed a simple ceremony, and the mourning woman took the lead in wailing. It seemed that the hour

When she arrived, she suddenly stopped talking, stood up, and whispered a few words to the village chief. The entire team immediately began to pack their things and walked back in twos and threes.

But the funeral has ended, and depending on the situation, he plans to return to the village.

Qiao Ciguang and others hid aside and waited patiently.

Finally, after a while, everyone walked away, and then they unlocked the spell and walked into the cemetery.

Coming to the seven graves with fresh soil, Qiao Ciguang said in a deep voice: "What the living are unwilling to say, the dead may not be able to say. Zi Cun went to such great lengths to bury people here, maybe among the corpses,

There are secrets or clues."

Hearing this, Ruan Zhi hurriedly said: "Senior sister, why do you need to take action on such a trivial matter? I can do it."

"No!" However, Qiao Ciguang shook his head and refused, and ordered, "You are not allowed to take action. I will do it alone. If I take action, I can ensure that I am fine."

She is the successor of Su Zhen Tian Zhen. The word "true inheritance" means that a disciple of this level is qualified to accept the true inheritance of the sect.

Such juniors, even for the top sect in Panya Realm with many high-level monks in charge, need to be valued and cherished.

The true biography of the Demon Sect has a high status, not to mention that Su Zhentian is still a well-known sect.

Therefore, Qiao Ciguang still has many trump cards that he has not used yet, so he has nothing to fear at this moment.

But these junior sisters are different. Even if they have some life-saving means given by their masters, they may not have the strength to use them.

She had always given orders among her peers in the sect, but her face turned serious at this moment. Although Ruan Zhi and others wanted to help, they did not dare to say anything.

After quelling his companions, Qiao Ciguang turned to the seven tombs, saluted each one seriously, and said, "I'm sorry, I offended you today."

Then with a wave of his hand, a translucent giant hand stretched out from the top of the three middle tombs. He grabbed it casually. The tombs that the Zicun group had just spent a long time piling up were immediately picked up and exposed.

There are three coffins inside.

The coffin was exposed to broad daylight, Qiao Ciguang did not continue to act, but waited patiently.

After waiting for a moment, he realized that he was fine, and then with a flick of his finger, the lids of the three coffins, which had been nailed tightly, were suddenly lifted open by a force of force.

The five people immediately looked into the coffins, but the next moment, they saw that the three coffins were empty and there was nothing inside!

They were suddenly startled.

Qiao Ciguang was the first to react and immediately opened the other four tombs. He found that there was only a thin makeshift coffin made of bed planks. It was crudely made and even had a gap as wide as two fingers. There was also no body in the thin coffin.

She glanced at the graves around her and dug up an old grave. When she opened the coffin, she found it was empty too!

Seeing this scene, Shi Wanli also started digging the grave, and Ruan Zhi and four others also joined in.

Soon, most of the graves on the hillside were dug out. All the coffins were the same, they were empty, and not a single coffin contained a corpse.

"This one is also empty...it's all empty!" Zhong Shizhu frowned, "Is there no dead people in this village at all? The funeral is just for us to see?"

"No!" Shi Wanli shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Yesterday I was in the coffins in the backyard of Lao Xu's house. I could see clearly that there were corpses lying in the three coffins, and the spots on the corpses had appeared. So someone must have died.

!”

"But, as for why the body disappeared... I don't know either."

"Is it possible that they only carried the coffin during the funeral and the body is still at Old Xu's house?" Chu Hanbei raised an idea.

Zhang Jing thought for a while and said: "There are casual cultivators in the funeral procession. Should we go back now and ask them about it?"

Everyone thought for a moment and nodded. Qiao Ciguang then ordered: "Bury all the coffins and pack the grave bags."

"Yes, senior sister." Ruan Zhi and others quickly agreed, and Shi Wanli also took action.

Just as they were restoring the cemetery with quick hands and feet, Qiao Ciguang suddenly focused his eyes and looked around.

But I saw that the fog around me had just faded, and I don’t know when it became thick again.

Moreover, it is approaching the cemetery step by step.

Guwu... Guwu... Guwu...

I don't know what kind of bird's call, but it is full of resentment, coming from the depths of the mist, adding a bit of eerieness.

"Hurry up!" Qiao Ciguang's expression became serious, and with a thought, hundreds of translucent hands suddenly appeared above the cemetery, and they quickly buried all the remaining coffins. After that, she took Shi Wanli and the four junior sisters,

Leave quickly.

Mulberry Village.

Amidst the joyful sounds of playing and playing, the procession of welcoming brides slowly returned to the village.

"Pick up the bride! Pick up the bride!" Children in colorful clothes surrounded the team, clapping their hands, jumping their feet and shouting loudly, "Hello, the bride, the bride is beautiful... The bride will give birth to a son soon and raise her eyebrows!"

"Okay, okay." In the team, a servant of the village chief's family happily pulled out the sackcloth that had been prepared long ago, took out various candies and cakes, and threw them towards the children.

The children laughed and scrambled to pick it up, and then chased it to the side of Pei Ling's white horse, shouting in a hurry: "The groom is a good official, the groom is a talented person... The groom is rich and noble, healthy and long-lived!"

Pei Ling's face was solemn. This time when he left the village to meet his bride, except for the funeral procession from Zi Village, he did not see the ceremonial guard of the married woman from Zi Village at all.

But right now, all the villagers are acting as if they have already received a bride.

Not surprisingly, the funeral procession came to "marry the daughter" of Sangcun.

Xu Shi saw that he did not respond to the children's oral remarks, so two servants rushed over to help him distribute the fruit cakes, saying: "The bride and groom are born to be a pair, and the earth is a pair..."

"A pair is born, a pair is created by the earth!" Hearing this, the children repeated it loudly.

The servant threw out another handful of fruit cakes and shouted: "The talented man and the beautiful woman are a perfect match..."

Clear children's voices kept coming and going: "The man, the talent, and the beauty are a perfect match!"

Amidst the noise, the team passed through the village and stopped in front of the village chief's house.

A servant had been waiting here for a long time. He stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the white horse, signaling Pei Ling to dismount.

After Pei Ling dismounted, he immediately handed over a handful of gold, jade, and cloud pattern Ruyi and asked him to raise the sedan curtain.

He frowned, thought for a moment, and then did it.

The sedan curtain was opened, and three figures were sitting in the originally empty sedan!

The one in the middle is extremely petite, looking like a child less than ten years old, wearing a blood-red wedding dress, with a hijab on his head, and holding a jade vase with branches and flowers in his hand.

The jade vase was a foot tall, and because the child was too young, it seemed very difficult to hold it.

To her left and right, there was an adult sitting on each side. Judging from their body shape, one was tall and the other was petite. Both were wearing water-red dresses and had water-red hijabs on their heads. They seemed to be holding nothing in their hands.

, sleeves rolled up, skirt covering the silk shoes, no skin exposed.

As if they noticed that the sedan curtain was being lifted, the three figures moved, but then, they made no further move.

Seeing this, Pei Ling suddenly thought of the secular marriage customs, and his expression changed slightly. Could it be that he was asked to carry these three so-called brides away?

Fortunately, at this moment, the servant who had spread the candy before took the lead and shouted: "Bride, come out!"

"Bride, come out!" The children who got the fruit cake rushed to respond, and many villagers also joined in the fun and shouted. Amidst the noise, the three figures finally continued to move.

...and stood up straight.

Pei Ling raised the sedan curtain with Ruyi and frowned even more. Although these three people were well-dressed, complicatedly dressed, and still covered their heads at the moment, he could see at a glance that these were just three corpses!

Moreover, that tall adult's aura had clear yin and yang attributes. He was definitely a man!

really.

When Sang Village welcomes a bride, the bride she welcomes is a corpse that was buried in Zi Village.

Just as Pei Ling watched coldly as the three people, headed by a girl, filed out of the sedan, four more dead male bodies came from behind the sedan.

They were still wearing their own robes, but their faces were smeared with makeup and showed signs of being groomed. Their eyes were deathly gray, and they silently followed the three girls, following step by step, like concubines doing a dowry.

Pei Ling lowered the curtain of the sedan chair and watched them walking in on the brocade carpet laid out by the village chief's house. He thought slightly: "It's a happy event, but you are marrying a dead person..."

"So, this village is full of ghosts!"
