"May the sun, moon, stars, and all celestial bodies bear witness to this presentation..."
Promise to stay together and not forsake each other...
May peace, prosperity, and good fortune be shared throughout this life...
Vow to hold hands and fly together for a hundred years...
I wish for a respectful union as guests, sharing a tranquil and peaceful century together...
I ask for a simple and ordinary life, forever harmonizing with you...
"Xiao Nv Qi You You..."
Husband leads, wife follows...
The voice was too high-pitched, and the sobbing tone was too thick. In an instant, the sorrowful emotion became intense.
Bitter, yet without any resentment.
The wind suddenly grew stronger, howling and roaring!
I stood up and looked at the headless body of Qi You You.
Suddenly, I realized a detail.
The seal and marriage certificate made the lingering remnant soul that had arisen from the corpse merge with the main soul.
That's why she knows who I am.
Old Qin's talisman was never meant to completely subdue her; it was simply a means to ensure my safety in any unforeseen circumstances and to keep her "awake."
At the very least, it achieved the goal of keeping her "awake" as per old Qin's intentions!
Qi You You's body lay still, unmoving.
When I raised my head, I stumbled upon the realization that the bamboo shed had transformed into a room, it was the nightmare of Qi You You's wedding chamber.
That coffin had become a bed.
Qi You You stood in front of the bed, motionless.
The face is a reflection of one's emotions.
Without a head, it is difficult to read her emotions.
But from her silhouette, an endless sorrow could still be discerned.
"I... I'm so happy."
"I... I'm so sad."
Its sound was wailing and mournful, like a complaint, a yearning, a sobbing voice, lingering on the air, and never ceasing like a thin thread.
It was the nightmare of a fierce prison that enveloped me, but it wasn't.
Her eyes flickered between seeing the newlywed chamber and the bamboo shed.
Thump! Thump!
Thunderclaps resounded, heavy rain fell!
The rain was as intense as when her soul was suppressed by the remnant, striking the bamboo shed and making a non-stop crackling sound.
"Where is your head?"
I didn't respond to her murmurs, her cries, and asked a question that had nothing to do with her current emotions.
Because I felt a suppression and agony that I couldn't put into words in my heart.
I had to pull the emotion apart to soothe my thoughts.
"I, don't want!"
Qi You You's voice became sharp!
But she was not venomous; this sharpness was more like a cry of despair, filled with helplessness!
Everything came to an abrupt stop.
Everything before me returned to normal.
The dark sky was occasionally pierced by lightning, making it momentarily bright.
Qi You You stood lifelessly by the coffin, motionless, without any signs of reanimation.
However, she had picked up the marriage certificate and held it tightly against her chest.
"Such cruelty!"
Luo Gong's voice also carried a faint melancholy.
I was startled.
I was wondering, wasn't I supposed to send my parents down the mountain with his urine pot?
I turned around and saw that... My parents were actually standing in a very distant location, they both didn't leave.
Luo Gong's head rolled towards this side, drenched by the rain, and looked quite pitiful.
"Terrible!" He cried out despondently again.
"Lao Gong!" I felt a sudden tightness in my chest, my hand was pressed against my heart and couldn't be moved. The sharp pain made me feel like I was suffocating!
The creaking sound suddenly rang out.
The coffin shattered into pieces!
The bamboo shed began to collapse!
A force from behind surged, I took a few steps out of the bamboo shed.
With a loud thud, the shed collapsed completely, and the rain also stopped.
The ruins looked very thin, but I didn't see Qi You You's corpse.
Instead, a cold sensation came from my back, as if something was climbing on it...
A muffled groan, I struck my shoulder with my hand from behind, but felt nothing there!
Luo Gong jumped up and landed on my shoulder. He stared wide-eyed, continuously shaking his head.
In the distance, my parents both ran over!
"Shirt!"
"Dad!"
Before I could make a move, he directly lifted the back of my shirt.
"This..." He was at a loss for words, while my mom covered her mouth and gasped.
"She is with you." My dad spoke in a complex tone.
With his explanation, I finally understood the reason.
The marriage certificate served as a medium, although it was empty, the connection between me and Qi You You was incredibly close.
I need to annul the engagement, which is no less than a divorce.
She could have resisted, or even disappeared, but she chose not to. Instead, she used the engagement certificate's connection to regard me as a vessel for her body and soul.
In this way, whatever I decide to do, she can only comply.
Even if I wanted to send her soul flying, or for her to be damned for eternity, she would still not resist.
The Black City Temple most desires such a ghost.
Sufficiently pure and devout, always serving the host no matter what they do.
This statement added more complexity to my inner thoughts.
"Human and ghost are different paths." My mom spoke up at the right time.
My dad fell silent abruptly.
I didn't respond, I just remained silent.
"My daughter Xuanling is waiting for you. Many things are waiting for you. Mr. Qin is not here, so we must think of other ways to find her head, manifest the spirit, and it's time to go down." My mom spoke again.
"Um, okay." After a long while, I nodded.
The process of going down the mountain was much quieter. I felt very depressed and dejected.
Old Gong, who usually talks a lot, was unusually silent, only sighing and exhaling.
This caused my mom to pinch his ear, which made Luo Gong cry out in pain and retreat back into the urine pot.
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, I led them back to my and Lao Qin's residence.
The house and yard were clean, indicating that Lao Qin's body had been stolen away a relatively short time ago.
I had no interest in chatting or talking, and went back to my room.
My parents both knocked on the door of my room and stood by it, but I didn't go open it.
There was no drowsiness. My brain was too clear, to the point of abnormality.
I wanted to sit in meditation and concentrate for a while, but I couldn't concentrate at all.
At midnight, Han Yacai gave me a phone call. He told me that he had been to Miao San mountain and hadn't seen any signs of the three-headed scorpions.
He also happened to see a man, kneeling at the door of Miao San.
But he didn't recognize the person.
Miao San seemed to not want to see the person.
I sighed in relief, but I also felt puzzled. Who was kneeling in front of Miao San?
Just that, Miao San was already not a normal person, or maybe someone was willing to sell themselves as well?
Here's the answer, Huang Shu may not have contacted me, but who stole Lao Qin's corpse has already become apparent.
Ultimately, I forced myself to sleep. Without rest, there's no energy to face anything.
When I woke up the next day, I received a call from Huang Shu. He told me that he had gone to the Underworld. He had talked to Feang last night and wanted to get some three-headed scorpions, saying they were very useful and offered Feang conditions he couldn't refuse.
As a result, Feang still couldn't produce the three-headed scorpions.
There's another point, if the previous resident of Youyang Jushi really took Lao Qin's corpse, then Youyang Jushi couldn't possibly still be under Feang's control!
That brings up a contradiction.
The most likely person to disturb Lao Qin's corpse hasn't even come near it.
Who is this third party!?
