I was still immersed in the ecstasy of having my lips and tongue entwined a moment ago when he told me that he could tell me how to save my father. I hurriedly nodded my head.
"Then it's a deal, I'll come for the wedding tonight." Liu Kunsheng laughed out loud, extended his hand and caressed my head.
I suddenly woke up from my stupor. Did I just exit the wolf's nest and enter the tiger's den?
In my panic, I still wanted to say something, but I felt my body plummet. I reached out to grab at Liu Kunsheng, but suddenly woke up with a start, only to see that I was tightly grabbing onto a grey and colorless garment. The plastic bag of dust and the marriage certificate I brought was already gone.
"You're awake?" mad sorceress burped, in his hand was the bottle of Erguotou that my mother had given him.
There was only the last of the wine left in the bottle. It seemed like she was reluctant to drink it all at once. She took a small sip and asked, "Did he agree?"
"Yes." If I marry him, he'll save my father. " I don't know why, I just want to talk to someone.
He held the tree for support and stood up slowly. Then he stretched his body and turned around, ready to go back.
I had thought about it earlier, that since it was Liu Kunsheng who saved my father, and I had also adopted his snake father for twenty years, marrying him is still better than marrying the Mountain God who devoured children alive.
"You …" mad sorceress suddenly laughed out loud, patting the willow tree with all his might: "You're so lucky, to actually let you marry me."
After making up my mind, I ignored the mad sorceress and left.
But the mad sorceress behind him suddenly spoke out: "Qin Chenmo, you have to remember, snakes are cold and lewd. You can marry him for — oh! "
She seemed to want to say something, but a willow branch was caught in the wind and wrapped around her neck, strangling her to the point where she couldn't breathe.
Knowing that Liu Kunsheng was hiding inside the willow tree, I quickly helped her pull it apart, patted the willow tree and said: "I'll wait for you."
With that, she nodded towards mad sorceress, reminding him with her good intentions.
After returning home, when my mother heard that Liu Kunsheng had promised to save my father, she was so happy that she became stupefied. However, when she heard that I was going to marry Snake, she immediately broke down in tears again.
I comforted her a lot. At the very least, she was my savior, and after marrying her, she wouldn't have to be tortured and buried alive.
I know what ceremony you need to get married off to, and I've probably seen how the Mountain Marry God walks. But I really don't know how to get married off to a snake, so I'm not in the mood to mess with it.
I let my mother go to bed and sat on the bed and waited.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard the sound of rustling, followed by a large rat that he had seen in the temple walking in slowly from outside. However, most of its beard was missing, and one of its eyes seemed to have been dug out.
This time, he was wearing a proper Tang suit and carried his two front legs in front of me. He placed a piece of red paper at my feet and saluted with his two front legs. Then, he turned around and left.
I held the red piece of paper and almost cried. The mountain god's white one hasn't been resolved yet, so what does this red one count as?
While I was still in a daze, I saw a lot of rats with red flowers rushing in. Some of them had shining gold ornaments in their mouths, while others had a hundred yuan in their mouths. They came to my feet like ants, dropped their things, and ran away, as if there was something on me.
Finally, there were even more outrageous things. There were even a few rats holding dates, peanuts, melon seeds, and such. They were all placed at their feet. If they had followed a snake, would they have given birth earlier?
My originally nervous mood suddenly became funny, I secretly looked around. Although the mouse's gift was very strange, but with the gold ornaments, Liu Kunsheng could be considered to be more considerate.
While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a crisp voice from outside, "The auspicious hour has arrived!"
Before I could even react, an old man in green clothes, with long beard and hair, walked in and waved at me with a smile. I actually followed him outside with my feet just like that, as if my hands and feet were controlled by him, but my consciousness was still clear.
Outside the house, a palanquin made of willow branches landed in front of my house. A few colorful tigers were crouching in front of the palanquin. When they saw me, they quickly lowered their heads.
The old man in green smiled at me, and a small golden bird flew out of the palanquin. It held my clothes in its beak and pulled me towards the palanquin.
Without being aware of it, I was pulled back until I almost fell into the tiger's mouth. Under the little yellow bird's disdainful gaze, I hurriedly climbed into the sedan with my hands and feet, not daring to move an inch.
That little yellow bird was also only the size of a palm. If it could pull me down like this, then how powerful would the tiger carrying the palanquin be?!
"Get up the palanquin!" As soon as I sat on it, the little yellow bird let out another cry. As it called out, it even smugly winked at the old man in green.
The palanquin was stable, but my mind was in a mess. When I arrived under the big willow tree, the willow tree was already gone, and there was only an ancient house. Liu Kunsheng was still standing at the door, dressed in green, and extended his hand to lead me in.
The little yellow bird let out a cry of joy, and the tiger ran away with their tails between their legs. The little yellow bird chased while crying out something.
After entering the room, I nervously looked at Liu Kunsheng as the experiences of the previous two nights flashed past my eyes little by little.
"Don't be impatient." He took out the marriage certificate from his chest pocket and extended his hand towards me. Seeing that I was confused, he directly folded the red marriage certificate in my hand together. "Take these two, once the mountain god moves, you can take out this marriage certificate."
I accepted the marriage contract and hurriedly asked him, "Then what about my father?"
"It wouldn't be difficult to save your father either." He pulled me aside and sat me down. He pointed to the plastic bag of ash on the table. "Do you know why the wind won't blow this ash?"
How would I know? I could only shake my head.
"The mountain god, who originally died without a sacrifice, survived only because those people had sacrificed to the children. These two palanquins are made from the skin of a child girl, and they are stained with blood. The bone marrow is a paste, and the soul is a refined piece of paper. Liu Kunsheng used his fingers to gently pinch a handful of dust, and a sharp cry suddenly sounded by my ear, causing me to feel pain from the vibrations.
When he thought about how those virgins had died miserably, and how they had been tortured like this even after death, he felt very displeased.
Liu Kunsheng returned Hui Hui back to his seat and said to me: "The mountain god used the marriage contract to capture your father's soul. I can temporarily take it back, but to completely save him, you should start from the wedding certificate first. One is to return the betrothal gift and to restore these two palanquins, the other is to remove the marriage certificate. At that time, I will bring you to the Yellow Spring Yin Division, so first, I will say that the paper palanquin will be restored. "
"Can't you first decipher the marriage contract?" When I heard that the palanquin had come so viciously, I always felt it was difficult to recover.
"What kind of place do you think Yellow Spring Yin Division is? Besides, didn't you guys return the betrothal gift? Liu Kunsheng knocked me, and gave me the bag of ashes: From today onwards, you have to bring this ashes and feed it with three drops of blood every day, a hundred of rice, and at the same time, help people get rid of evil spirits and guard their homes.
Ah?
Hearing that, I stared straight at Liu Kunsheng, who knocked me down and chuckled softly, then explained it to me.
The mountain god brazenly brought these two palanquins to my doorstep, as he had calculated that my home would be burnt, that if I couldn't return the betrothal gift then I wouldn't be able to break the marriage contract, and that I would still be his.
However, this palanquin was attached to a virgin ghost girl. First, I had to raise them, and then I had to use the grace of a hundred families to dissolve their grievances. When the grievances had dissipated, their souls would return to me.
I nodded quickly, and he seemed pleased. He stroked my head again, then took my hand and bit it open. He personally dripped my blood on the grey, then wiped it off with the red marriage certificate.
I don't know if it was my imagination, but when the red marriage contract rubbed against the wound on my finger, my finger hurt again, and something inside me seemed to be quickly sucked in by the paper. But when I looked at it carefully, there was only a little bit of blood on the paper.
After this, he took me back home, gave my father a breath of vital energy in front of me, and called my father's soul by the bed. He said that my father would wake up early the next morning, but since he didn't understand the marriage contract, the mountain god could still keep my father's soul in check, so he couldn't call my father's soul back.
Hearing that my father would wake up, I was really relieved. Just when I thought that he would leave, he pulled me slowly towards my room. His fingertip lightly scratched my palm, tickling my bed, gently lifting my heart up.
When he slowly took off my clothes and laid on the bed, I suddenly thought about whether he would turn into a snake again, only to see that he was still as indistinct as before, abruptly rushing towards me.
I sank in an instant, and my mind went blank, and I floated with him --
The next day, I turned around in a daze. My face met an ice-cold object. I casually grabbed it, and the object was still swimming in my hand. It scared me so much that I opened my eyes wide.
I saw a little green snake the size of a thumb in my hand. Its two eyes were as black as paint, and the bright red snake was looking at me with its head held high, nodding.
