Xiaoxia stood there, wondering if she should go to the water basin to take a look.

She felt that the other party must have bad intentions because they were trying to harm others, but the excuse that could save Wanli was so tempting. Even though she knew she might be deceived, she wanted to give it a try, at least multiple choices and multiple opportunities!

She slowly walked back to the edge of the bed and saw that the bamboo bed was pulled tilted by the white hands and half of the gauze tent was torn off. Wanli still had no reaction and lay there like a wooden man. Although she was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but feel sad.

What a warm and gentle person he is. He loves to talk to people, is curious about new things, likes to try, is enthusiastic to help others, is chivalrous, and is a popular lover in the eyes of many women. Now he is like a vegetable, and he doesn't know the people and things here. If he can realize this, he should feel that life is worse than death, and he feels very distressed, right?!

He had done so much for her and never asked for a reward, and now it was her turn to pay him back, so she could pay any price!

With this decision, she climbed onto the bed first, helped Wanli lie more comfortably, tidied up the gauze tent, then held the blood wood sword tightly, walked slowly to the edge of the basin, and looked into the basin with some caution in confusion.

The water in the basin was still shaking slightly, and because someone approached, it shaking even harder, as if it was about to splash it out. Xiao Xia subconsciously wanted to dodge it, but she understood that she had to see it, so she forced herself to stand there and remained moving.

She remembered that the water in the basin was clear, which was a sweet mountain spring that Ruan Zhan brought from a place not far from the Octagon Tower. She changed a new basin of water after washing her face. But at this moment, the water had turned black for some reason, and was as turbid as mud, and it also emitted a slightly fishy smell of grass leaves.

Gudong--

A bubble suddenly appeared in the center of the water surface, which scared Xiao Xia instinctively took a step back and looked at the second, third, and fourth bubbles in surprise, until the entire water surface rolled up like boiling.

This lasted about two minutes before the water surface calmed down, but the water was no longer black, but turned into silver white that could reflect like a mirror.

Xiao Xia couldn't help but lean forward. Seeing that something round gradually floated up from bottom to top in the water mirror, just embedded in the middle of this wooden basin with a diameter of about two feet. When he looked closely, he found a woman's face!

Perhaps because of soaking in water, this face was pale and swollen, with its mouth and eyes tightly closed, and its long black hair on its head floated in the water like aquatic plants, dancing softly, as if it was waving to the viewer.

Xiao Xia didn't know what the person behind the scenes was doing, but she felt that her face looked so familiar, so she held the Blood Wood Sword tightly and walked closer, almost standing on the edge of the water basin and looking down.

It was a standard oval face, with a full forehead, a pair of faint thin eyebrows, a small and cute nose, a delicate and seductive red lips, and on the corner of the left eye, there was a nearly invisible, sesame-sized red mole -

Xiao Xia stood there, cold sweat dripping from her forehead and slid along her neck into her collar. She had never seen such a terrifying scene, and had never had an experience more terrifying than this. It was just because the face in the basin was so familiar that she knew who it was without her brain reaction. She was so familiar that she had to see it many times every day!

The face in the basin is her face!

If it weren't for the pale and swollen face, it seemed that he had been drowned; if it wasn't for the fact that it was just a broken head, and the broken mouth under the neck was still bloody and bloody, Xiao Xia even thought that he was looking at a mirror hidden in the water!

It's so similar! It's so similar, even the red mole on the corner of the eye is exactly the same! This must be an illusion, it is used to attack her psychological defense, but what are the people hiding behind the scenes doing? Is it a prediction that she is about to drown, or just to scare her?

As if she wanted to answer her doubts, her face in the water suddenly opened her eyes without warning and stared at the shocked Xiao Xia!

"Yue Xiaoxia!" She spoke and called, a string of bubbles appeared on the water, and the sound also made a 'gurgling' sound, as if there was a head talking in the water, not just an illusion.

Xiao Xia shrank and did not answer.

The woman in the water laughed gloatingly, "Yue Xiaoxia, Wanli is dying! He is going to die!"

Xiaoxia still didn't answer, but she felt a thorn piercing into the depths of her soul.

"He will definitely die! He will die in great pain, very miserable. His five internal organs will be torn to pieces by an invisible hand, and his skin will be corroded by the seeping black water, but he can't say it, and it hurts so much!"

"Shut up!"

"He will die, it's very painful - it's very painful - it's very painful - it's very painful - it's a man in the water repeating this sentence in a weird tone like a damaged recorder, as if it won't stop. Every word is nailed to Xiao Xia's heart like a nail, making her hurt from her heart to her whole body. She can't bear to listen anymore, but she can't stop listening.

She wanted to overturn the basin, which would be very pleasant. She no longer had to listen to those harsh words, but at the same time she lost the possibility of exploring the other party's purpose.

"What the hell are you going to do?" she asked loudly in the slight pause of the jagged sound.

"You want to be a bride!"

bride?!

This answer made Xiao Xia stand there. He never thought that this answer would surprise and be incredible to her, and all the things she wanted to say were stuck in her throat. What does this mean? Let her be the bride? Whose bride? Why?

"Do you want to save him?" asked the man in the water, his voice suddenly softened, full of temptation.

"think."

"Really?"

"real."

“Willing to pay any price?”

"I'm willing." Xiao Xia couldn't help but speak her inner voice.

"Then be a bride!" The man in the water laughed gloomy, "Be his bride! He has been waiting for forty years!"

"who is he?"

"You just need to wear your wedding dress before midnight tomorrow, and the black cat will come to pick you up." The man in the water answered the question irrelevantly and murmured, and then as the waves swayed, a pale hand stretched out from its ear.

In an instant, the feeling of that hand seemed to be the pair of free hands just now, which shocked Xiao Xia.

Didn’t the evil spirit transformed white hands be absorbed by the broken flag? What is this? Is the safety net set up by Ruan Zhan not working?

While hesitating, the hand that stretched out from the basin had already stroked her neck, and the wet and cold ice made her tremble. She wanted to break free, but she didn't break free, so she had to try her best to restrain her teeth and said, "There is a dead Gu in thousands of miles. If the person who puts the Gu, he will not be able to survive. Besides, I promised your master, what should I do if he doesn't fulfill his promise? Do you think I'm a fool?"

"It depends on your decision. He is a devil. So, he only negotiates terms and does not force it."

"I don't - believe it!"

"Don't believe it?" The man in the water laughed again, "It's a pity that this is the only thing you can do for your friends and the only opportunity. I know you are trying to find my master, but you can't find it. He is not him, he is not him!"

"Let me go!" Xiao Xia could no longer bear the wet and cold feeling on her neck, and struggled again, but she still couldn't break free. On the contrary, she found that her waist had bent down and faced with the water basin, as if she was about to be pulled into the water.

"The only chance is to have a chance! For the sake of your friends, I wish to have a chance!" It induced, and at the same time, the hand holding Xiao Xia's neck was pressing hard again, making her face almost touch the water.

"Don't tell the man named Ruan about this! He will do something bad! Remember, remember!" It lowered its voice like a whisper, making it even more weird. And because the distance was closer, it saw a face that was exactly the same as itself and smiling gloomy, as if the situation after its death was happening, the fear kept surging from the deepest part of its heart.

The man in the water mentioned Ruan Zhan's name, which made her suddenly remembered that she was holding the blood-wood sword in her hand. Seeing that the water surface was getting closer and closer to her, she felt that the man in the water was going to drown her, so she hurriedly swept the sword, and the basin was swept horizontally with the basin! The water suddenly poured onto the ground, and the basin rolled out a long way before stopping.

Xiao Xia stood there and gasped for a while, feeling that she could breathe smoothly. She unconsciously touched her neck and got wet with water. She understood that her hands were transformed from water.

"The wedding dress is under the altar!" A voice came from the ground.

Xiao Xia jumped in shock and looked at the ground along the sound. She watched with her own eyes that the water spilled on the ground vaguely reflect the same water face as her face, which was deforming, twisting, and slowly disappearing with the flow of water. The sound of her speech was slowly distorted until the long tail sound stopped.

"Follow the black cat! Wedding dress is here-"

This reminded her of the night when Wanli was shot in the Gu. The strange black liquid in the magnetic hall also slowly flowed like this, and then it drilled into Wanli's feet. Then there was a knife hanging on his head that seemed to take his life at any time.

And she couldn't let the knife fall down no matter what. If she had to fall down, she was willing to stop him!

But what should I do now? Should I follow Ruan Zhan’s plan, firmly believe that he will succeed, and just wait quietly for him to save Wanli to wake up? Or should I follow the advice of the people behind the scenes and accept the devil’s conditions?

The man in the water warned her not to tell Ruan Zhan, which means that no one discussed it and had to make a decision on her own. But this made her embarrassed and could not make a decision at all. In order to save Wanli and make her life, she would not hesitate. But if she wanted her to marry someone who didn't know what it was, she would get goose bumps all over her body and feel so uncomfortable that she would want to die!

He is not him!

The man in the water once said this. So who is he? Why are he interested in himself? Suppose he is really Huang Boheng, does he have such a great affection for himself? It is so big that he can hurt Wanli's life just because Wanli is her "boyfriend"? Then, if he knew that she lives in Ruan Zhan's house and knew that she was thinking of Ruan Zhan, would he still want to kill him?

Even if she makes sacrifices, will the other party keep his promise?

However, the water man said it well: she is not qualified to give him the conditions, she can only make a big fuss! They are in the light and the other is in the dark. If Ruan Zhan really cannot find the person behind the scenes in a limited time and kill him, Wanli will be dead.

She couldn't let him die, let alone Ruan Zhan die! If there was really no other way, she should have had a chance, but when she thought of Huang Boheng, she was so disgusting that she was about to vomit.

She was in a dilemma and struggled, feeling that she would regret any decision. After standing there for a while, she finally made up her mind - wait and see. If Ruan Zhan could not find a way to save Wanli before midnight tomorrow, she had to have to make a fortune once. As for whether the pervert kept his promise, there was a saying that said: But do your best and let everyone have their own destiny!

It's amazing that she gave that perverted bastard a death together!

Xiao Xia is a cheerful and stubborn person. Since she made the decision, she simply stopped thinking about it. So, she limped to the edge of the bed to check if there was anything strange about Wanli. Seeing that although he was still unconscious, fortunately, it did not become more serious. She thought that the other party's goal might have been achieved and she should not play any tricks anymore, so she decided to go to the altar on the second floor to see if everything that happened just now was a ghost teasing someone, or if he had hallucinated himself, or they had already fallen into the opponent's trap!

With the help of the light of the lighter, she found the candlestick that had already rolled to the side, lit it again, and was silent for a while. Seeing that the fire was moving slightly, it was burning normally, she felt relieved to go to the second floor.

The second floor is very empty, with one side full of magnetic altars, and the other side is the empty altar. Ruan Zhan had checked the place before bringing them here. With his calm and cautious personality, if there is anything strange, he would not be unable to find it.

But when Xiao Xia lifted the bamboo curtain under the altar, she found that there was a big red cloth wrapped inside!

She stretched out her hand, tried for a while, and finally pulled out the package, then sat slowly on the ground, gently opened it, and under the reflection of the candlelight, the wedding dress in the package was presented intact in front of her.

At the top is a set of silver jewelry. Xiaoxia has no idea about ethnic minority clothing and cannot tell which ethnic group it belongs. She only thinks that the silver jewelry is quite complicated but extremely exquisite in handmade. Below the silver jewelry is a set of ethnic minority wedding dresses, which are full of colorful silk threads, and are extremely gorgeous. The original color of the fabric can be seen. There are many kinds of embroidery, including flowers, birds, fish and insects, but each one is lifelike.

Xiao Xia reached out and touched her. The touch felt very good. The natural and innocent feeling was conveyed from her hands to her heart, making her almost love this wedding dress. If it weren't for the fact that these were given by that pervert and he was extremely disgusting with his purpose, if it were given by Ruan Zhan, she would have wanted to try it on immediately.

After lifting the wedding dress, the shoes were below. Holding them in her hand, Xiaoxia discovered that she had seen these shoes twice, once from the feet of the straw raincoat ghost, and once on the feet of the strange woman - it turned out that these were really shoes that only the bride would wear!

These shoes were so beautiful that Xiaoxia couldn't help but hold them in her hands. As soon as the shoes came into her hands, she felt dizzy and put one of the shoes on her feet as if their hands were uncontrolled.

In fact, she was not wearing it yet, just gestured to her feet, and the shoes consciously wrapped around her feet - just the same size!

And as soon as the shoes were put on, a picture immediately appeared in her mind -

A slim young woman stood at the edge of the altar with her back to her, holding a magic weapon she had never seen before, dancing a dance she had never seen before, and then knelt in front of the altar and said, "God, I don't want the medicine ghost to be my man. He will eat a baby every other season, I can't bear it. I thought of other ways, Anan!" She shouted, her voice was delicate and crisp, and it was particularly beautiful and gentle.

A man's voice responded, and then a black shadow appeared in front of the altar.

"He took the initiative to take my Gu, and from now on, he will be my ghost husband!" the woman said.
Chapter completed!
