Shocked, everyone except Master has a vest

Qin Muyue took out the Autumn Water Folding Fan without saying a word, turned it back into a sword and held it in his hand.

A trace of vigilance flashed across Yu Fengxue's brows, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who is this evildoer? Show up immediately!"

The five people's hearts tightened. This sudden sixth voice, accompanied by green fog, meant that the person who came was not a good person.

The voice seemed to be near and far, erratic: "Hey~ Two girls, marry the river god~!"

"How dare you! I don't agree with this marriage!" Yu Fengxue slashed towards the source of the voice with a sword.

The green mist spread to both sides, and a village suddenly appeared in front of the five people.

Even the sky was clear and the moon was bright.

"I don't know if this is an illusion caused by ghosts, or the intersection of yin and yang caused by the right time and place." He Zhen's voice was cold and he was ready for battle.

"No matter what, we have to leave here." Yan Shiyin took the lead and walked towards the village.

The village seems peaceful, but with a little smoke rising from the chimneys and farmers working in the fields outside the village.

When they walked into the village, they found that the villagers had numb eyes and worked simply for a meal.

Yu Fengxue raised her hand to stop Yan Shiyin and He Zhen, and looked at the two girls.

"Ruyan, Muyue, take this opportunity to gain some experience. We will remind you at the appropriate time."

Qin Muyue and Liu Ruyan nodded and found a villager who looked older and tried to ask him.

"Old man, why is this village so dead and silent? Has there been any evil spirits?" Qin Muyue asked gently, with a hint of unquestionableness in her voice.

The old man being questioned had a twinkling look in his eyes, and he looked the two girls up and down as if he had seen something rare: "This...this village has been a little unusual since ancient times. Every full moon night, some...some strange things will happen."

Qin Muyue stared at the old man's eyes and asked, "Is tonight the night of the full moon? Who is related to these strange things?"

The old man avoided the girl's gaze and whispered, "You are outsiders. You will know if you stay on the street at night."

"Oh? We are kind enough to help this village, but you guys are not hospitable?" Qin Muyue smiled, noticing the malice flashing in the old man's words.

The old man seemed to be touched by Qin Muyue's words. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he soon returned to numbness. He shook his head, turned around and walked away slowly, muttering to himself as he walked: "On the night of the full moon, no one in the village dares to go out. You...you should leave quickly."

Qin Muyue and Liu Ruyan looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Liu Ruyan stood in front of the old man and continued to ask: "If you don't explain clearly, how can we help you!"

The old man's face suddenly became grim, his body hunched, and he clamped his legs together: "Why, if I don't tell you, can't you monks check it yourself?"

Liu Ruyan felt that the old man's behavior was indecent and turned away in shame.

A farmer used a hoe to cover himself stealthily and said in a low voice, "Women are always short-sighted. If you can't deal with the ghost bride, the river god will take her away sooner or later. Anyway, you women have to get married."

"Stop talking nonsense. Senior sister will not marry any river god!" Liu Ruyan pointed a sword at the old man. She didn't want to hear that her senior sister was going to get married.

The old man was frightened half to death, but he still covered his purse with his hands, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and spoke tremblingly.

"This is the money that the whole village has collected. If you are still here after tonight, we will consider hiring you to ward off disaster."

Qin Muyue stretched out her hand and wanted to poke the old man.

"You little devil, don't pass your feminine energy to me!" The old man screamed in fear and ran away crawling.

"You people look down on women and avoid them like the plague. Could it be that the ghost bride likes to kill men who have had contact with women?" Qin Muyue froze the farmer with a spell, rubbed his hands, approached the farmer, and grinned evilly.

"Tell me, or you're dead tonight."

"Help! The monk is killing someone!"

Hearing the farmer's screams, the men in the fields ran faster.

Qin Muyue approached and saw that the farmer was almost fainting from fright. She pouted feeling bored and looked at Yu Fengxue and others.

"Brother, who of you wants to ask?"

Yu Fengxue frowned as she watched the girl get so close to a mortal for the first time.

"He Zhen, go over and ask him. If he doesn't tell me, the puppet thread should be able to make him confess."

The farmer broke out in a cold sweat and covered his stomach in fear.

Qin Muyue pulled Liu Ruyan to Yu Fengxue and waited for He Zhen to finish asking questions.

Soon, He Zhen's face turned dark and he walked back holding the puppet thread.

"Did he confess?" Qin Muyue asked.

He Zhen's face turned pale, and he stammered, "They said that the ghost bride doesn't kill women, but only takes them to marry the river god. Seven men in the village have been killed by the ghost bride...they...they all died in..."

"What are they?" Liu Ruyan was extremely curious.

He Zhen closed his eyes like he was going to the execution ground, digging his toes into the ground: "Shrink...die by shrinking your penis."

Yu Fengxue and Yan Shiyin's faces changed slightly, but they tried to calm down. The silence and gazes between the three men were deafening.

"Hahahaha..." Qin Muyue laughed heartlessly.

[Host, you're still laughing. Xiaoying feels cold.]

[What? You are a man? I feel like I will never love again.]

[Host! What do you think I am?! ]

"What is penis shrinkage?" Only Liu Ruyan knew nothing.

"No wonder they don't want to say anything. Besides, the people working in the fields seem to be all men." Yan Shiyin looked away.

The three men saw that Qin Muyue was still smiling, and they looked at each other, seeing embarrassment and helplessness in each other's eyes.

Liu Ruyan looked curious, and obviously didn't quite understand the meaning of the word "penis shrinkage".

"Okay, Ah Yue, stop laughing." Yu Fengxue coughed lightly, trying to change the subject. "What we need to figure out now is who this ghost bride is and why she wants to capture women to 'marry the river god'."

"That's right," Yan Shiyin took over the conversation, "Besides, she doesn't kill women, but only men. There must be some reason behind this."

He Zhen also regained his composure, and he said in a deep voice: "I just used the puppet thread to explore the farmer's memory, and found that every full moon night, a woman in a red wedding dress would appear in the village. Her face was blurred, but the men who caught her would shrink their penis and die.

She would wander the village looking for men who were alone.”

Qin Muyue put away her smile and said seriously: "It seems that we need to prepare on the night of the full moon to see if we can find a chance to get close to this ghost bride and learn about her origins."

Liu Ruyan nodded in agreement: "Yes, and we must also pay attention to protecting our brothers. After all, the curse of the ghost bride sounds very scary."

As it got darker, the five decided to find a safe place in the village to stay temporarily while discussing countermeasures.

They found an abandoned temple, which, although dilapidated, was enough to shelter them from the wind and rain.

As night falls, the lights in the village gradually go out and the whole village is immersed in silence.

The five people held their breath and waited quietly for the ghost bride to appear.

Just as the moon rose to the zenith, a faint crying sound was heard from afar, and the five people immediately became alert.

They saw a woman in a red wedding dress slowly walking into the village. Her steps were light, as if they were weightless.

Qin Muyue and Liu Ruyan held their weapons tightly, ready to attack at any time.

However, Yu Fengxue signaled them to stay calm. She whispered, "Don't act rashly. Let's observe her behavior."

The ghost bride wandered around the village, she seemed to be looking for something. Whenever she passed a house, the lights in that house would suddenly go out, as if they were swallowed by her breath.

The five followed her, trying to find an opportunity to get close.

However, whenever they got close, the ghost bride would suddenly disappear and then reappear in another place, as if playing hide-and-seek with them.
