Chapter 81: Red Lady
Between the dark mountains, the roaring wind and rain and the flashing thunder reflected everything in a violent and terrifying way.
In the post house behind the White Wolf, the businessmen were still immersed in the magic of the peach blossom wine.
After they took the liquor, not only did their fatigue disappear, but many of their old diseases healed without medicine. The cheerful atmosphere was noisy in the post house.
But when the laughter came out, Lu Heng looked up at the dark night sky and his heart moved.
He saw new clouds gathering slowly in the dark. Clouds of lightning and thunder.
Soon, a blazing thunder flickered under the night sky. In the roar of terror, the huge thunder fell outside the post office.
Boom!
A terrible thunder burst, startling all the businessmen in the house. But as soon as they got up, the huge white wolf came in from outside.
Lu Heng was calm in the face of everyone's tension.
"Nothing to worry about. Let's have a rest."
Lu Heng calmed the crowd with his words, and then returned to Xiao Ai.
The little girl with silver hair and ears is looking at Lu Heng in surprise. She doesn't know why Lord Wolf God wants to drop the Heavenly Thunder.
Lu Heng didn't explain, so he lay down beside the campfire, closed his eyes, and began to absorb the thunder that he had just received.
Although Lu Heng only used one heavenly thunder in the mountain before, and he had plenty of heavenly thunders in his body.
But now there's nothing to do anyway. It's better to lead another thunder into the body. It is necessary to be fully ready at all times in this dangerous world.
In the post house, it was temporarily quiet.
Although the excitement of drinking peach blossom wine didn't subside, when they saw the Wolf God lying down to rest, they didn't dare make any more noise. They all lay down silently and were ready to sleep.
What happened today is amazing.
First, they met the fierce beast Xiqu that had been entrenched here for decades, and then they got the wine from the Wolf God. Everyone was very excited. Even if they lay down, they couldn't sleep.
But the Wolf God rested not far away, and everyone dared not speak.
So next to the campfire, a group of men lay on the ground, staring at each other with wide eyes, but dared not say a word.
Such silence lasted until midnight, when the excitement of the crowd gradually subsided, and the group of businessmen finally fell asleep one after another.
In the corner, Lu Heng is still absorbing the thunder.
It takes hours to absorb even only one piece of thunder.
Beside Lu Heng, a little girl with a dark cyan ancient sword on her back sat with her knees crossed and eyes closed, also cultivating.
The wind and rain kept beating the eaves and windows of the post house until the second half of the night.
And, also faintly, there is an increasingly violent trend.
The rainstorm outside the house was violent. Between the dark mountains, something was gradually approaching.
When the blazing lightning cut through the sky, you could vaguely see that on the desolate mountain road, there was a red wedding procession walking silently.
The harsh suona's sound gradually approached the post office.
The little girl next to the fire was the first to open her eyes, startled.
The visitors didn't want to hide at all. Even though they were a few miles away, the gloomy and terrifying smell had already spread all over the world, making people feel cold.
Xiao Ai looked at the White Wolf beside her. Its eyes were shut and they didn't seem to be aware of the outside world.
Seeing the Wolf God's attitude, the little girl directly stood up and walked towards the door.
When the gate of the post house was pushed open, the wind and rain poured in, waking up all the men in the sleeping caravan.
They rubbed their sleepy eyes and looked at the direction of the door. They saw a white lightning cut through the sky, and the pale light almost drowned everything.
But what followed was not deafening thunder, but a burst of mournful and strange sounds.
In the rainstorm outside, something was approaching.
And very fast!
All the men in the caravan jumped up, looking frightened and couldn't sleep anymore.
"Suona… Suona…"
The people looked at each other and looked shocked. "Is it the Red Lady? Did we run into the Red Lady?"
Among the people, Huo Feng was silent and his expression was bitter. He subconsciously looked at the little girl at the door.
The rumors of the Red Lady were fierce and terrifying. Even when he was in his heyday, he could not escape if he met the Red Lady. But now there is a Wolf God on the side, maybe…
Huo Feng struggled to stand up and came out of the door with the crowd.
The cold wind was howling and raging in the mountains. Under the eaves of the post house, the little girl with silver hair and animal ears was looking coldly at the direction of the galloping Road, without saying a word.
When she saw the crowd coming, she asked, "May I ask you, what kind of demon is this Red Lady?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Huo Feng finally explained with a wry smile.
"In fact, we don't know what the Red Lady is. Though in recent years, rumors of the Red Lady have been circulating in the Fire Pass Country."
"They say that a few years ago, a large family wanted to get married, so they took eight big sedans along with rich betrothal gifts to the girl’s home to secure the marriage. But on the way back, the wedding team ran into a natural disaster, and everyone died miserably in the wilderness."
"The bride died before she got married. Her resentment was hard to resolve, so she turned into a fierce ghost and raged in the wilderness."
"If a living person meets her, the living person has no chance to survive. It is more terrifying than the fierce and evil beasts."
"It is said that when the Red Lady appeared, the first thing people would hear would be this sad and strange suona sound…"
While Huo Feng explained, there was already a weird red team coming this way on the dark road.
The blazing light of lightning reflected everything in the world to white, and also made everyone in front of the post house see the wedding procession on the galloping road.
The bleak bright red suddenly appeared in the mountains.
All the people in the wedding procession were dressed in strange red costumes. Both men and women wear blood-red scarves, which cover their faces and make people unable to see their faces.
But the strange and stiff steps and the exposed pale skin were suffused with a shivering chill, like walking corpses one after another.
The harsh sound was getting closer and closer.
Seeing this scene, all the people of the caravan were frightened and subconsciously hid behind the little girl.
Standing in the wind outside the post office alone; the little girl stared at the approaching wedding procession indifferently.
In front of the wedding procession, there was a dark, strange beast, whose body was like an ox, but it was much smaller than an ordinary ox, and its body size was about the size of a dog.
The dark chain is worn on the back of the black beast. As the evil beast ran, the chain made a clashing sound.
This dark ghost of the evil beast is clearly the soul of Xiqu that they met in the mountain before.
And the red sedan chair in the wedding procession faintly exudes a breath of terror and evil. Obviously, the evil thing in the sedan chair is the evil that killed Xiqu!
