Impossible!
Even if this was a ghost market and they were all ghosts, how could Zhou Xiaoyan be a ghost? Isn't she my fiancée? Didn't she know magic? Logically speaking, shouldn't she use a spell to do something for me?
But why is she with her back facing me? No matter how I call her or even push her, she doesn't react at all?
I suddenly had a thought that even I couldn't believe.
In order to prove the right or wrong of this idea, he couldn't care less about whether it really worked or not. He could only bite the bullet and try.
According to my memories, I used the ghost-killing incantation that Tang Yu recited and learned his hand seals. After activating it, those incomplete 'people' floating in the air simultaneously let out low and painful roars.
Suddenly, a ghost with dislocated facial features, broken limbs, and a tattered body appeared in front of me. From the place where its upper limbs were broken, two arms quickly grew out again. However, there was no flesh on the arms, but white bones!
Immediately after, its ghastly white hands grabbed my neck, causing me to feel a strong sense of suffocation…
"Ah!" I cried out in alarm and opened my eyes as I sat up.
"Liu Yuan, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Zhou Xiaoyan sat beside me and looked at me with concern.
I looked at her and then at my surroundings. I realized that I was actually at home.
"W-w-why are we at home?" I asked nervously and confusedly. Isn't it in the ghost market?"
"Ghost market?" "What ghost market?" Zhou Xiaoyan asked in surprise. Where are the ghosts?"
I gulped and told her how she brought me to the night market and how I found out that the night market was a ghost market.
After Zhou Xiaoyan heard this, she was first stunned, then she smiled."Liu Yuan, you must have been muddled from sleep. You actually confused the dream with reality?”
I pointed at myself in disbelief."I, I slept too much? Did she mix up her dream with reality again? How is that possible?"
"It's true. You're indeed confused again.”Zhou Xiaoyan smiled and explained," Last night, you did want me to take you to the night market. But when I went to the outer room to find a suitable set of clothes for you, I came back and found that you were already asleep on the bed. You were sleeping very soundly. No matter how I woke you up, I couldn't wake you up. I had no choice but to cover you with the blanket and let you fall asleep while I went back to my room to sleep. How would I know that you can sleep so well? If it weren't for the nightmare that woke you up, you would probably have slept until noon, right?”
I scratched my head awkwardly." I see!”
"Yes! That's it." Zhou Xiaoyan smiled." Are you hungry? I've already prepared breakfast. Do you want some?"”
"Uh…I don't feel hungry yet. Are your parents awake? I want to see them."
Zhou Xiaoyan's expression changed, but then she smiled and said,"They went to the night market for the whole night and only came back to sleep before dawn. They probably won't wake up until the afternoon.”
"Oh, alright then." "Then I want to go out for a walk. Do you want to go with me or do you want me to go alone?"”
"Uh…I have something to do now. Why don't I go out with you tonight? After all, you had a nightmare all night. You shouldn't be awake yet, right?”Zhou Xiaoyan felt awkward.
"What do you have to do now? Is there anything I can help with?" I asked.
"After today, it will be the Chinese Valentine's Day, which is also our wedding day, so I have to go and decorate it.”Zhou Xiaoyan said shyly.
I quickly jumped off the bed." This is our marriage. How can we let you arrange it alone? You tell me what to do, and I'll set it up.”
"No need, no need." Zhou Xiaoyan nervously stopped me." I'll inform the village chief and the others. At that time, the entire village will work together to help us set up. You don't have to worry about it. You're tired. You should rest well."
I was about to say that I was very energetic and not tired at all, but before I could say anything, a sudden wave of sleepiness hit me, making me yawn." I seem to be…very sleepy and tired. Then I'll sleep for a while.”
Zhou Xiaoyan helped me back to the bed. As soon as my head touched the pillow, I fell asleep.
I didn't know how long I slept for, but I suddenly heard someone talking in my sleep.
However, I couldn't hear what the other party was saying clearly, nor could I open my eyes or speak. I only felt my heart beating violently, and cold sweat trickled down my entire body. It was like a nightmare.
I didn't know how long this situation lasted before I gradually heard it clearly.
It was Dong Han's voice!
"Ye Fan? Ye Fan, did you hear me?" He repeated it many times, then sighed helplessly."Regardless of whether you can hear me or not, with my current ability, I've really done my best. Although Tang Yu is a nine-tailed white fox, I am willing to use my five hundred years of cultivation and my life to guarantee that he is truly an immortal who has received orders from the Heaven Realm.
Whether you believe it or not, and whether you can hear it or not, I have to tell you that Tang Yu has a thousand years of cultivation. Moreover, he knows how to use talismans and arrays. How can he be fixed by two talismans? The only explanation was that there was something wrong with those two talismans. At that time, our attention was all on Tang Yu, so we didn't notice it.
Also, have you ever thought that no matter what kind of demon it is, when someone uses a magic tool to subdue a demon, even if the demon is immobilized by a talisman, it will definitely struggle a little, right? But he didn't. He was so easily taken in by a mortal like you who hasn't learned many spells. Don't you find it strange at all? There's also one last point. Since Zhou Xiaoyan knows spells and has a magic tool, why didn't she take Tang Yu in personally? Why did she have to borrow your hand?
Moreover, she did not dare to touch the magic tool directly from the beginning to the end. These are very obvious doubts. Have you never suspected them? If there really isn't, then all that Tang Yu has done for you would have been in vain. If you heard it, if you have some doubts, if your heart hasn't been eaten by a dog, you must save Tang Yu. Saving him is equivalent to saving yourself.”
Dong Han's voice stopped abruptly.
I suddenly woke up and wiped the cold sweat off my face. I slowly sat up and recalled what Dong Han had said in my dream…
At this moment, it was already dusk.
How could I have slept for so long?
"Zhou Xiaoyan, Zhou Xiaoyan?" I didn't hear Zhou Xiaoyan's response, so I got out of bed and searched the entire house.
He didn't see her or her parents.
Strange, where did everyone go?
Unknowingly, I walked out of the house.
The streets of the village were decorated with lanterns and colored streamers. The red word 'happiness' was pasted on the big red lanterns. Although the lanterns were not lit, one could see the festive atmosphere.
But what made me feel strange was that the people in the village seemed to be wandering around the streets with nothing to do... No, to be exact... wandering.
This was because all of them were expressionless and their eyes were dull. Their hands were placed vertically on both sides without any obvious movement, and their movements were slow and stiff.
When a little girl in her teens brushed past me, I grabbed her and asked with a smile,"Little girl, what are you doing?”
The little girl tilted her head and looked at me coldly, then her eyes turned sad.
I seem to have…seen her somewhere before?
After thinking for a while, I suddenly remembered.
She was the little girl who was going to be my netherworld partner in the family portrait in my dream!
Suddenly, I felt a chill run down my spine and hurriedly let go of the little girl's arm.
She slowly turned her head and continued to follow the villagers to the west.
West side of the village…night market?
In the dream, I was Ye Fan, the little girl wanted to pull me into a netherworld marriage, the night market was a ghost market, and the nine-tailed fox Tang Yu was a god... If all of that wasn't a dream, then what was this?
Dream realm? Reality? What was real and what was fake?
I was deeply confused…
"Liu Yuan!" Zhou Xiaoyan ran up to me and frowned."Why didn't you sleep at home? Why did you run out?”
" I…" I was a little speechless."I came out to find you."
"Didn't I say that I have something to do?”Zhou Xiaoyan seemed to realize that her tone was not good. She smiled awkwardly and softened her tone."I'm a little busy today for our wedding. But look, isn't the village decorated very festive by us?”
I nodded and was about to say something when she held my arm and told me about the wedding ceremony and the things she had prepared. She also said that she would sit in the wedding sedan chair and circle around the mountain road tomorrow night to let the people in the villages near the mountain know about our marriage...
Even after returning to the house, she was still talking non-stop, but my mind wasn't fully focused on her words. No matter what she said, I nodded in response."No problem. As long as you're happy, you have the final say.”
When she heard this, she was in a good mood, and she was even more excited.
I changed the subject at the right time." We're getting married tomorrow. Don't let anything go wrong during this period.”
"Why would you suddenly say that?”Zhou Xiaoyan looked at me in confusion.
"Xiaoyan, I, I keep having a bad feeling. I'm a little worried! So I want to ask you, have you put away the inner core of the Nine-Tailed Fox and the demon bottle that seals it? I'm afraid its accomplices will come and cause trouble.”I pretended to be extremely worried.
"Oh, so that's what happened!" " Don't worry," Zhou Xiaoyan smiled disapprovingly." It can't run away. As for its accomplices…we have to be careful."”
I pretended to ask casually,"Then can you tell me, where did you put the bottle and inner core?" Because I'm still worried, I want to help you keep an eye on it tomorrow. If anything goes wrong, I'll be able to help in time.”
"People say that 'a day as husband and wife is a hundred days of love'. We haven't even officially become husband and wife, but you're already so considerate of me.”Zhou Xiaoyan smiled and leaned into my arms." The bottle is still in that wooden box. The most dangerous place is the safest place, so I put the wooden box in the closet in my room.
As for the inner core…I've already hidden it in a very secret place. Other than the nine-tailed fox, no one could find the inner core. So, if I'm not at home, you must take good care of that wooden box. Don't let it run out and ruin our wedding, understand?”
I nodded and hugged her tightly." Don't worry, I will take good care of that wooden box. I won't allow anyone to ruin our wedding!”
