There is a trick

Chapter 3 Wedding
Zhou Sanji couldn't be sure who the uninvited guest was.

He was shocked and frightened, but he could only suppress his fear and said to the people standing stiffly in front of the white cloth in a low voice: "What are you standing there for? Keep playing the music..."

Everyone was brought back to their senses by Zhou Sanji's voice.

Sun Yanshun started by striking the bangzi, and then the sounds of various musical instruments rang out one after another. In the chilly and gloomy room, the atmosphere seemed to become cheerful again.

Zhou Sanji's dark eyes slanted to the other side of the black cloth. He pinched his throat and repeated his previous question with a smile: "I wonder if Miss Zhong and your parents and elders think that Mr. Zhou's birth date is a good match for you?"

The music was loud, and Zhou Chang glanced at the faces of the crowd. Through their expressions, he seemed to hear their frantic heartbeats.

Although they didn't say anything, they all held their breath and pricked up their ears, waiting for the response from the woman behind the black cloth.

Fortunately, soon after the matchmaker finished speaking, a soft female voice came from behind the black cloth, so calm and gentle: "A good match."

The woman's voice was the same as before, but there was no more fear in it, as if she was a different person.

Hearing this, everyone relaxed a little.

Zhou Sanji's scalp tingled, and he became more and more certain that something unknown had just attached itself to the girl behind the black cloth!

He gritted his teeth, looked at Zhou Chang who was sitting on the other side, and asked the same question to his 'youngest grandson'.

There was deep doubt in his tone: "I wonder if Mr. Zhou and your parents and elders think that Miss Zhong's birth date is a good match for you?"

Zhou Chang's response was calm and firm: "They are a good match."

Zhou Sanji regained some courage after hearing his grandson's response. He steadied his breath, bent down and picked up a wooden stick. He used the stick to slowly lift the black cloth covering Zhou Chang and 'Miss Zhong', and asked, "Miss Zhong, please take a look at Mr. Zhou's appearance.

Are you satisfied with his appearance?"

The black cloth was slowly opened.

A woman in a bright red wedding dress sat upright on a high stool.

She had a slender figure, and the bright red wedding dress made her look even more slender and delicate.

The woman's fingers, which were so pale that they looked like they had no blood, were crossed in front of her abdomen.

The piece of yellow paper covering her face moved slightly in the wind, and light ink slowly outlined thin eyebrows and narrow eyes on the blank space of the yellow paper...

In the blink of an eye, a charming and affectionate face appeared on the paper.

The face on the paper was captivating. It stared at Zhou Chang opposite it, its red lips parted slightly, and it said with a sweet smile: "I am satisfied..."

Seeing such an enchanting face appear on the blank paper, a chill ran from Zhou Sanji's feet to his head!

What on earth did he summon when he sang the play "Zhong Kui Marries His Sister"? !
The music in the room suddenly became chaotic, with all kinds of music mixed into one.

Everyone present felt a chilly breath swirling above their heads and behind their necks!

Zhou Chang seemed out of place among the frightened crowd.

He stared at the smiling paper face opposite him for a while, then glanced sideways at the shadow of the "matchmaker" on the white cloth.

The matchmaker Zhou Sanji froze behind the white cloth, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Zhou Chang could only make his own decision. He turned his gaze back to the beautiful face on the yellow paper, smiling: "I am also very satisfied with Miss Zhong's appearance.

Matchmaker, when will Miss Zhong and I get married? "

The paper face on the opposite side entered the room and did not harm anyone in the room. It just attached itself to Bai Xiu'e to complete the marriage with Zhou Chang.

It can be seen that it is now more interested in Zhou Chang's marriage than anything else.

It came for Zhou Chang, but Zhou Chang didn't know whether it was interested in the 'Zhou Chang body' that he was currently occupying, or himself?

No matter which one it is, it is a good thing to be able to attract this paper-faced ghost at the moment.

Zhou Sanji came back to his senses and said hesitantly, "There's no rush to get married... Since you two are in love with each other now, why don't you exchange tokens of love first? Remember - if you exchange tokens, you two will respect and love each other for the rest of your lives and never leave each other!"

Zhou Sanji lowered his voice and deliberately reminded Zhou Chang.

But Zhou Chang seemed not to understand the hidden meaning of his words, and responded to himself: "Of course, we will be together for life and never leave each other.

But I can't move now, someone come, help me cut a strand of hair and exchange it with Miss Zhong. "

His eyes fell on Sun Yanshun.

Sun Yanshun followed his instructions and cut off a lock of Zhou Chang's hair. He wrapped it in red paper and handed it to the Paper Face who was sitting opposite him with trembling hands.

Paper Face did not reach out to take it. She looked at Zhou Chang opposite her with affection. The red paper package handed over by Sun Yanshun was blown away by the wind. The strand of hair floated, braided into a thin rope, and wrapped around her wrist.

A strand of black hair hanging on one side of the paper face also fell off automatically at the same time and floated towards Zhou Chang.

There was a very light red rope on Zhou Chang's right wrist.

The black hair and the red rope were entangled with each other, like a coil made of two ropes, one black and one red, which was wrapped around his right wrist.

He lowered his eyes to glance at the coil on his wrist, looking slightly confused.

On his fifteenth birthday, his grandfather predicted his fortune at a celebration party in his hometown and predicted that he would encounter a disaster before his twenty-third birthday.

Therefore, my grandfather went to the 'Yin Sheng Lao Mu' in his hometown to ask for this red rope to help him resolve future misfortunes.

But how did this red rope appear here?

"I am willing to be with you forever, my dear, and I will never leave you..." The beautiful face on the yellow paper was still speaking shyly. Zhou Sanji looked at the two of them exchanging the token of love with a complicated look in his eyes.

He pinched his throat again and sang in an operatic voice: "You two love each other, and now there is the matchmaker's words, your good marriage has been predestined, and now it is completed.

It’s just - oh my, it’s just that, even though we have the matchmaker’s words, we still lack the parents’ permission.

Mr. Zhou's family elders have already agreed to this marriage, I wonder where Miss Zhong's parents are?"

The matchmaker's shadow on the white cloth turned sideways and bowed to ask Miss Zhong.

'Miss Zhong' sat upright on a high stool, seemingly oblivious to Zhou Sanji's inquiries.

The yellow paper above her face did not move at all. The beautiful face drawn with ink on the paper now seemed like just an ordinary portrait.

On Wednesday, Ji Fu asked Miss Zhong again.

The paper face still didn't respond, but Bai Xiu'e, who was holding the paper face, trembled violently at this moment, as if she had just been pulled out of the water, and began to breathe heavily!
The chill that lingered in the room dissipated a little without anyone noticing.

Seeing this, Zhou Sanji knew what was going on. He changed into his original voice and comforted the frightened Bai Xiu'e: "Girl, don't worry, don't be afraid!
Now it’s time to set a date for your wedding, Miss Zhong. You should invite your brother Zhong Kui over and ask him to be a witness.

It’s time to invite Brother Zhong Kui over…”

Bai Xiu'e's mind was in a mess, but when she heard Zhou Sanji's voice, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw and murmured to herself, "Please ask Brother Zhong Kui to come over and be a witness."

"Yes!"

Zhou Sanji pinched his throat again, clapped his hands, and shouted, "Please come over, Master Zhong Kui, and pay your respects!"

This clapping seemed to be a signal, causing all kinds of musical instruments in the room to play together. Everyone present had smiles on their faces and shouted, "Please come over to greet Master Zhong Kui!"

Amid the endless stream of cordial invitations, the clay idols placed all over the house all smiled, and the howling cold wind filled the dilapidated house!

The white cloth banner was shaking violently in the cold wind. A pool of blood was floating on the white cloth, and a hideous face mask was tumbling and roaring in it!

As soon as everyone saw the colorful facial masks on the banners, they suddenly perked up and straightened their backs instead of hunching over!

Looking at their expressions, Zhou Chang also knew that Zhou Sanji's play of "Zhong Kui Marrying His Sister" had finally been performed successfully, and he had already borrowed the power of the so-called "Zhong Kui"!
Zhou Sanji held a white banner in his hand, his dark eyes becoming more lively and brighter: "Let's go, let's go and welcome the bride!"

Everyone followed and said, "Come, come, come, this is a good time!"

"Groom, mount your horse!"

"Bride, take the sedan chair!"

Everyone helped Bai Xiu'e to sit in the coffin, and they lifted up the thin-skinned coffin, which became the bride's sedan chair.

Zhou Sanji took two steps towards Zhou Chang and reached out to support him, but this caused Zhou Chang to lose balance and he fell on top of him.

The youngest grandson's body was like a lump of ice that could not be melted.

Zhou Sanji helped Zhou Chang steady himself, and with the help of others, he carried Zhou Chang on his back.

He was obviously thin and much shorter than Zhou Chang, but at this moment he was extremely strong and it seemed effortless for him to carry Zhou Chang on his back.

Looking at Zhou Sanji's gradually reddening eyes, Zhou Chang guessed that this might be the main reason why he was able to carry him on his back. He then heard Zhou Sanji's question, which was a little low: "Are you still unable to move?"

Zhou Chang replied: "I can't move."

"I've recited the soul-awakening spell and drawn the life-restoring talisman. Logically, you should be able to move... Never mind. At least you can talk now. I'll think of another way for you when we get home!"

Listening to Zhou Sanji's words, Zhou Chang lowered his eyes and remained silent.

The feeling of being locked in a coffin was indeed alleviated after Zhou Sanji drew talismans on his body.

But it only weakened slightly and did not disappear completely.

Perhaps because he was not Zhou Sanji's real youngest grandson, Zhou Sanji's method was not completely successful.

He lowered his eyes to look at the red string on his wrist. In a short while, the red string had completely merged with the hair of "Paper Face". Its color became more vivid. One end was still wrapped around Zhou Chang's wrist, while the other end was floating in the air.

At this time, everyone gathered around Zhou Sanji, waiting for his instructions.

Zhou Sanji's dark eyes were now as red as blood. He stuffed the banner into Zhou Chang's palm and said in a muffled voice, "After you walk out of this door, try not to make any noise and keep your footsteps down!

Second, you have to breathe in and out carefully, and you are not allowed to fart!

Try not to emit any odor from your body, and hold back your pee and poop!
Now we are relying on the power of Master Zhong Kui, but he can take back what he gives us at any time. We must be more restrained and alert. When we encounter the wrong situation, we can be prepared and escape!"

Zhou Chang looked down at everyone's expressions.

The people who were originally very excited because of borrowing the power of "Zhong Kui" now all looked solemn.

They probably thought that with the help of Zhong Kui's power, everything would be fine, but they didn't expect the situation to be so serious and they had to pay attention to various rules.

Sun Yanshun tried to ease the atmosphere and explained with a grin, "Li Xiamei and the dogs she raised have very good noses and ears. The old priest asked you to do this for your own good. But now we have Master Zhong Kui to protect us, so there won't be any major problems on our journey. Just be careful about what the old priest said."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sanji glared at Sun Yanshun fiercely, and the atmosphere became somewhat subtle.

Except Zhou Chang and Lao Duangong, the remaining three people are all disciples brought by Sun Yanshun.

Naturally, they listened to Sun Yanshun more and felt relieved after hearing his words.
