No taboos

Chapter 278 The Evil Bride
Lang Xiaoba has an excellent memory. He has been to this area several times on business trips before, and he remembers all the place names, routes, etc.

Miao Yu was about to tell Lang Xiaoba where to go when he asked, "In this direction, in Xiaoyu Mountain, there are two large tombs occupied by evil spirits.

One is the General's Tomb and the other is the Iron Coffin Slope. It should not be these two places.

There are also four other places where large tombs are found, either according to legend or recorded in local chronicles.

One is in Zouzhugou, one is in Laohuiling, one is in Shanqizhuan, and the last one is in Qishulin.

Xiao Ba finally asked, "Which place is it?"

Miao Yu opened his mouth, but he didn't expect that the other party had already guessed the approximate range just when he stood there.

Brother Xu really has a lot of talented people under his command!

"It's walking along the pig ditch." Miao Yu replied.

Lang Xiaoba jumped on his horse and rode forward: "Follow me."

Everyone was very cautious after entering the mountain.

According to the almanac today, the following are forbidden: daytime dreaming, marriage, family relations, and looking in the mirror.

Xu Yuan asked from behind, "Are there any evil spirits around here, like ghost brides or rats?"

Lang Xiaoba then remembered and slapped his forehead, saying, "Thank goodness the adults reminded us. We need to take another route."

So they walked to a stream in front, and Lang Xiaoba led everyone to turn to the left.

"Originally, that road was closer, but there was an 'Old Book Mouth' on that road, where a nest of evil rats lived.

Those guys like to do a business with no capital, not robbery, but marrying off girls.

Whenever someone passed by, those creatures would play music and force their mouse daughters to marry that person.

Take the opportunity to extort a betrothal gift or a wedding banquet.

If the passerby refuses or cannot come up with the money, they will force him to write an IOU, stipulating the repayment time and interest.

Every penny earned by the passerby after coming out will disappear inexplicably until the debt and interest are paid off.

If he fails to pay the money back within the stipulated time, one night his heart and liver will be eaten clean by his rat wife!"

Everyone was scared, but luckily the adults remembered.

Otherwise, "marriage" is forbidden today, and these rats will be a great disaster!

If you pass through "Laoshukou"... you will definitely die.

After taking a detour, we arrived at "Zouzhugou" an hour late.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Miao Yu said, "Eat some dry food first and get enough strength before going in."

It took another half an hour before they entered the ravine.

The bottom of the ditch was full of wild boar footprints.

After Miao Yu came in, he was confused again. Although the gambler had predicted that the ancient tomb was in Zouzhugou, this ditch was twenty or thirty miles long. Where was it exactly?

Lang Xiaoba led everyone up the hillside and said, "Don't walk in the ditch, or you might run into a herd of wild boars.

There's no telling which of the wild boars in this mountain has turned into an evil spirit."

After walking about seven or eight miles up the hillside, Lang Xiaoba looked up at the surrounding terrain and pointed to a patch of woods diagonally ahead: "It should be over there."

Miao Yu took a look and saw some stones scattered outside the forest. Judging from their shapes, they must have been processed.

It is very likely that these are the leftover stones from when the tomb was built.

Miao Yu nodded secretly, it seemed that it was correct.

He was about to walk over when he suddenly saw Xu Yuan making a gesture to him.

Everyone stopped and heard the sound of drums and music coming from the wind.

In the valley below, a wedding procession is coming!
In the front are four flute players, with red silk hanging on their bodies and a big red flower on their chests.

As he walked, he played the suona with all his might, making it sound deafening.

Behind them are the gong players and drummers, dressed the same way.

However, these things were not people, but large rats with black fur, red eyes, and long tails. In addition to them, there were dozens of other large rats, carrying sixteen mahogany boxes.

These are betrothal gifts.

Each box was very heavy, and two fat rats, each as tall as a man, carried it, and they trembled as they walked.

The betrothal gift is not small.

In the center of the team, the groom had a pig's head and a human body, with two scimitar-like fangs sticking out of his mouth, a mane covered with steel needles, and was wearing a bright red wedding robe. He was more than ten feet tall and had an extremely heavy body. His two pig hooves stepped on the ground, leaving deep footprints.

It was beaming with joy, its maw opening wide as it roared with laughter, waving its palms as big as palm-leaf fans, and kept urging the wedding procession: "Hurry up! Don't keep the bride waiting anxiously."

"Play harder, or I'll twist off your rat heads and use them as wine for the bride!"

The mice were all silent and hurriedly worked harder.

For a moment, the noisy sound of joy shook the sky.

These people headed straight for the woods on the slope.

Xu Yuan and Miao Yu looked at each other, their faces looking a little ugly.

Evil spirits can also marry? !
Give birth to a litter of evil spirits?
"Come on!"

Everyone immediately took quick action, but the evil spirits were incredibly fast. They had only run a few dozen feet when they were already on top.

Everyone had no choice but to find huge rocks and plants to hide.

It is forbidden to get married today, as a nest of rats will bring great evil.

This wild boar can actually drive them to pick up the bride... It's obviously more ferocious!
The wild boar looked impatient and urged the mice: "Take big steps! Don't delay the dangerous time!"

Soon they arrived at the place where Xu Yuan and the others had just been. The wild boar suddenly twitched its nose, and a fierce light flashed in its two small eyes: "What the hell? Get out here!"

Xu Yuan and others did not dare to move.

The wild boar demon became angry and grabbed a huge rock the size of a millstone nearby and smashed it over.

It was Qin Ze who was hiding there.

Qin Ze drew his knife and chopped it down on the boulder head-on.

boom!
The huge rock exploded, revealing a terrifying power.

Qin Ze spat out a mouthful of blood and was knocked several feet away.

The wild boar's eyes lit up: "A living person! Hahaha, delicious food delivered to my door!"

It picked up a large rat that was accompanying it and said, "Quick, quick, catch them all alive! We'll have them as a special dish for the wedding banquet later!"

The big rat had black and gray hair all over its body, and was thinner than its companions. Its face was covered with wrinkles, making it look very old.

The wild boar grabbed it and threw it directly at me like a stone!
The wild boar was so strong that the old mouse stumbled to the ground.

It was wearing a master of ceremonies robe, and its two small dark red eyes scanned the surroundings.

Everyone felt that the stones and plants in front of them had become transparent.

The old mouse's gaze lingered on each person.

Then it took out a piece of animal skin from its arms, grabbed a long whisker near its mouth with its other paw, and pulled it off with force.

The old mouse's face twitched in pain.

Then, using its whisker and its own saliva, it began to write on the hide: "Master Pig is having a big event today. I, the Master, have appointed you as the Master of Ceremonies. I will be in charge of all matters related to the ceremony. All guests must obey my orders!"

This is an order!

"I will add these living people to the gift list."

It started with Qin Ze: “What’s your name?”

"Qin Ze." Old Qin was confused and couldn't refuse, so he answered honestly.

The old mouse used his whiskers to write Qin Ze's name on the gift list.

A cold force rose from an unknown source, penetrated into Lao Qin's body, and entangled his soul!
