Shocked, everyone except Master has a vest

Suddenly, a scream came from the house in the south, and the ghost bride floated out of the house laughing, while the man in the house was still howling like a ghost.

Qin Muyue pulled Liu Ruyan to check.

The man in the room was desperately tying something to his groin with a rope, muttering like crazy. "No, no, no, no, no, how can I, a grown man, die like this? Hold on!"

Qin Muyue and Liu Ruyan looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy. They walked into the house carefully, only to see that the house was in a mess, as if it had just experienced a fierce struggle.

"Are you okay?" Qin Muyue asked softly, trying to calm the man.

The man raised his head, his eyes full of despair and fear.

"I...I can't be a man, nor a woman, I...I want to die neither man nor woman." His voice was trembling, and he pulled out the rope, but the thing tied to it disappeared. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was obviously on the verge of collapse.

Liu Ruyan frowned, she moved closer and tried to calm him down.

The man screamed, covering his pants, and a large amount of blood flowed down his trouser legs.

Before he died, he tried desperately to make sure whether his manliness was still there.

Qin Muyue sighed and covered Liu Ruyan's eyes. She narrated calmly, "He is already a eunuch who has been rid of his evil roots."

"Eunuchs? I've seen eunuchs in the imperial city. They have no beards and speak in a shrill voice." Liu Ruyan seemed to understand.

When Yu Fengxue, He Zhen, and Yan Shiyin arrived, the atmosphere in the room was extremely heavy. They saw Qin Muyue and Liu Ruyan standing next to the man in a pool of blood, with complicated expressions on their faces.

Yu Fengxue frowned, and felt a chill in her heart when she saw the man die violently.

Qin Muyue shook her head. "We are too late. He has already..." She didn't continue.

Tsuruma took a step forward and carefully observed the man's cause of death.

He concluded: "It has shrunk and dried up, and all of it has fallen off. It is cleaner than if it had been cut. The blood is seeping out of the skin. This is a ghost magic method where sweat and blood turn into water."

"It has lost the sticky and greasy feeling of blood. No wonder the sweat turned into blood." Qin Muyue touched the blood on the ground with her fingertips and found that it was indeed a pool of red water with a smell of rust.

Yan Shiyin looked around and said, "There must be a ghost cultivator here. Could it be the ghost bride?"

At this moment, a cold wind suddenly came from the house, accompanied by strange laughter.

Everyone immediately became alert, knowing that this ominous aura might be related to the ghost bride.

When everyone chased her onto the street, Qin Muyue suddenly had an idea. She whispered to the others, "I have an idea. Since she doesn't hurt women, Ruyan and I can try to get close to her and see if we can communicate with her."

Yu Fengxue and Yan Shiyin looked at each other, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, be careful."

Qin Muyue and Liu Ruyan slowly approached the ghost bride, trying to walk lightly to avoid attracting her attention.

As they approached, the ghost bride disappeared and a chill rose from behind them.

Qin Muyue and Liu Ruyan clenched their weapons nervously and turned around. The ghost bride was almost face to face with Qin Muyue.

Qin Muyue smelled the scent of incense and candles and jumped back a step.

However, the ghost bride did not attack, she just watched them quietly.

"You... who are you? Why do you want to capture a woman and marry her to the River God?" Qin Muyue mustered up the courage and asked softly.

"Master...Master wants to save you." The ghost bride said, slowly floating towards Qin Muyue.

Liu Ruyan realized that this was a prelude to arresting someone, so she drew her sword and slashed at the ghost bride.

The ghost bride was lightly split into two halves and then turned into two paper bridesmaids. The scenery was spinning around them.

"Not good." Yu Fengxue and Yan Shiyin rushed forward, and the ghost bride and the two girls disappeared.

The three of them were at the place where the girls disappeared, using the Soul Seal to search for their location.

Yu Fengxue's eyes sparkled with intelligence, and he said in a deep voice: "In the shade of the town, there should be a river leading to the col."

The villagers opened their doors one after another, looking as if they had survived a disaster.

"Another short-lived ghost has died, and we can live a little longer."

Yu Fengxue's expression became even colder, and he went up to ask a villager.

"You are willing to wait here to die, why don't you run away?"

"Run? This whole place is circled by that evil snake. We can't get out, and you monks can't get out either. It just wants to keep us here to die, and you will die like it!" The villagers smiled bitterly.

A sneer flashed across Yu Fengxue's cold and clear face, and he placed his sword across the villager's neck.

"In that case, what else do you have to hide? Tell the truth!"

"The truth? The truth is that the snake demon abducted women, and we are all innocent people killed by the snake demon!" an old man roared.

"Really? Then why do you have evil spirits on you? In my opinion, you are no different from demons." Yu Fengxue's cold eyes slowly swept over every villager.

He Zhen and Yan Shiyin's faces changed and they looked at the villagers with suspicion.

"Bullshit, how can we be the same kind as that monster? You Taoists are talking nonsense." The faces of the villagers changed drastically, and they picked up the things at hand and threw them at the three people.

The debris was blocked by the spiritual barrier, and the Jade Fengxue sword drew a bloody mark on the villager's neck.

"Then I can only use torture. Either cut into pieces or make water drip on yellow paper. You choose one?" There was an undisguised murderous intent on his face.

The villager's face turned pale, and he wanted to run but his legs were immobilized by the spell. He pushed the sword away tremblingly.

"Okay, I'll tell you...I'll tell you."

He sat on the ground, swallowed, and told the story slowly.

This village is called Guyu Village. Originally, there were more than a dozen villagers here, who relied on the Bailian River to farm and fish to support themselves.

However, on a full-moon night one year, the girl from their family fell into the river. When her family went to look for her, they found plates and quilts made of silver by the river.

Somehow the story got around to being about the river god marrying a wife, and every full-moon night they would carry a young girl onto a sedan chair.

Place it by the river and give it to the legendary river god in order to seek his protection and silver plates and gold objects.

They kept doing this, and their lives got better and better. Their sons bought women from human traffickers and sold them to them, so that those women kept giving birth to girls.

The river god accepted both meat and vegetables, even baby girls. They only had to put the baby in a sedan chair by the river, and they would get jewelry, gold and silver in return the next day.

When the number of villagers had grown to fifty, lightning struck the river again and again, and the village near the river was not spared, with almost half of the people killed.

The next day, people found a white snake floating on the river, and its flesh exuded a fairy aura.

The villagers had suffered heavy losses, with many of their sons and bought wives also dead. In anger, they fished the dying white snake ashore, beat it to death, and ate several pieces of its flesh.

Then that night, the ghost bride appeared.

"It must be the revenge of the evil snake disguised as the river god! We have gotten rid of this evil that likes to eat girls, but it still lingers to harm us?" The villager's eyes flickered and he shouted with his neck stiff.
