Chapter 285: Netherworld Ghost Bride (1/2)

”Sir, what's this?”

Jiang Li was slightly puzzled. This was a famous ghost wedding, and it was even inside the Netherworld Illusion. Normally, such a scene meant that it was a great danger, and he would usually choose to take a detour.

If he ran over now, wouldn't he be walking into a trap?

”Just follow me.”

The cultivator who was unwilling to reveal his name was not afraid as he brought Jiang Li closer to the group.

Beside the wedding team, a ghost dressed as a housekeeper was quickly striking a gong.

”Picking sedan carriers! There are still ten spots left! You must have strong bodies like bulls and horses.”

He knocked on the gong and shouted.

The cultivator pulled Jiang Li away from the group of ghosts and squeezed forward.

”Here, here, there are two here!”

He actually wanted to bring Jiang Li to work there.

He was still holding two coins in his hand. After approaching, he directly stuffed them into the housekeeper's hand. It was not an exaggeration to say that money could bribe even ghosts.

The housekeeper ghost put away the coins and glanced at them before going forward to touch them. It was unknown what he touched, but the two of them stood out and were chosen to join the team.

”Yes, you're quite strong. Go over quickly. Go carry the sedan.”

Perhaps because the sword cultivator clone had absorbed the flesh and blood of the Raksha Black Wyrm, his body looked strong and powerful, so he was chosen to be the carrier.

The other person also picked up a carrying pole and was about to run to the side to lift the sedan. Before they separated, he even softly instructed Jiang Li.

”When the time comes, don't look at anything and don't say anything. Pick the sedan and walk forward. When we enter the city, we'll be even.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped looking at Jiang Li and ran to the side to skillfully pick up two baskets of ingots.

As expected, this was his plan. He mixed into the group and entered the city with them.

This thought was quite strange. After a person died and turned into a ghost, they would often repeat what they did when they were alive.

This bridal escort team would most likely appear every day.

If the ghosts in the convoy were powerful enough, even Fengdu City had to give them face. The people in the convoy naturally did not need to pay the city entrance tax and could directly enter.

However, was this really safe? Jiang Li still had some doubts. However, since things had already come to this, even if his clone was really unlucky, the loss was still acceptable.

He controlled his clone to arrive in front of the red sedan.

”Hey, newbie, stand in front. Remember to lie down and act as Miss' footstool.”

Regardless of whether one was a human or a ghost, there was hierarchy.

Even when carrying a sedan, they had to display seniority.

Jiang Li glanced at the burly man who spoke. His face was covered in a ferocious expression, and it was obvious from the black qi that his ghost body was unable to restrain that this fellow had probably killed many people when he was alive.

If Jiang Li did not use his spiritual qi or his flying sword, it would be quite difficult to resolve this.

However, at this moment, it was Jiang Li's main body that was controlling this body. The high purity Nine Nether spiritual qi came from the Netherworld, and it was even more pure than ghosts like them.

Apart from that, he had another power that could let the ghosts know that he was not to be trifled with.

Jiang Li smiled and took two steps forward. A strand of blood qi mixed with the Nine Nether spiritual qi condensed in his hand, and then he walked over and slapped.

The robust ghost was slapped to the ground on the spot. Half of his face had already vanished, and he was muddle-headed to the point he was almost slapped away by Jiang Li.

”I call the shots here! Stand in front. Remember to lie down for Miss later!”

Jiang Li taught the guy a lesson with a slap. He stood at the back on the right, at the most relaxed position. On the left, the position that needed to be taken down was arranged for the other party.

The small conflict between the porters did not attract much attention. Only one supervisor saw the ghost with half of his face lying on the ground slacking and came up to whip him twice to wake him up.

There were also many ghosts who wanted to enter this bridal team. Under the summoning of the gong, they were quickly full.

The ghost that looked like a housekeeper had taken out a large number of paper clothes from somewhere.

They were thrown into the air and burned. The mixed group quickly turned into a joyous red color.

Even Jiang Li's clone was instantly covered in a red robe.

Although the material was only made of paper, it looked quite similar to the real thing.

This kind of paper changing ability was quite convenient. When he had time in the future, Jiang Li planned to learn a thing or two.

”The auspicious hour has arrived. Carry the sedan!”

Jiang Li and the other seven carriers placed their shoulders on the horizontal tree. With just a slight push, the sedan was lifted up.

It was very light. There seemed to be no one above.

He did not know where this ”young lady” who was about to get married came from. He hoped that she could really bring the entire sedan team into the city.

The wedding team began to play gongs and drums, but they did not directly walk towards Fengdu City. Instead, they took a detour in another direction.

Not long after, he saw another sedan in a sea of spider lilies.

The sedan was placed alone in the sea of flowers, but it was very lively inside.

The sedan swayed back and forth, and the wooden frame creaked from the shaking.

The laughter of the women inside and the breathing of the men made it very clear what was going on inside.

”Miss, the auspicious hour has arrived.” The housekeeper reminded.

The laughter of the women inside gradually stopped.

”Alright!”

The female voice became cold, followed by the man's painful wail.

A moment later, the curtains of the sedan in the sea of flowers opened, and a red figure with disheveled clothes fluttered out from within, and it transformed into a phoenix dress in the air. After that, Jiang Li felt the eight sedan he was carrying sink slightly, and this female ghost had already entered.

Through the curtain that had not fallen on the other side, he could see that there was a corpse that had just been sucked dry.

This was clearly another cultivator from the outside world. However, he dared to believe in his luck with women in such a place. He was really tired of living.

However, he also noticed that the sedan chair opposite was tattered for some reason. There were quite a number of fresh ones on it, and there were traces of blade strikes.

After picking up this lady, the convoy finally turned and entered the city.

When the guards guarding the city saw this bridal team, they seemed to be used to it and directly moved aside.

Without any obstruction, they entered Fengdu City.

In terms of prosperity, the city was quite lacking.

What surprised Jiang Li was that there were ruins everywhere. It was as if they had suffered the wrath of heaven.

There were many ghosts knocking on the ruins in an attempt to repair these collapsed buildings.

A small number of districts had already built new houses, but the style of construction was quite different from the current mortal world.

This place seemed to be much older.

The group advanced through the ruins.

Not long after, they arrived at their destination.

However, the destination was not as joyous as he had imagined.

On the large courtyard, there were only two unlit red lanterns.

After carrying the sedan into the door, it was decorated in white.

In front of the hall opposite the door, there was a large coffin that was enough for two people to bury together.

There was no need to guess. This was a ghost marriage after all.

Ghosts would repeat the most memorable things they remembered when they were alive every day. Most of them would repeat the day before they died.

Along the way, Jiang Li looked at the surroundings while carrying the sedan chair.

This female ghost should have been the daughter of a large family when she was alive. When she was married, the escort team was robbed and the young lady was humiliated.

Later, the male's group arrived and brought her back to the residence, but she discovered that she was going to have a ghost marriage. The husband she was about to marry was actually a dead person!
