Chapter 288: Master of Tianji Pavilion (37)
Yan Qing had noticed these little creatures pretending to be dead early on. Before the illusion was broken, she felt that the power fluctuations emitted by the paper man with a bun head were different from those of the guests in the yard.
Therefore, when breaking through the realm, Yan Qing always paid some attention to them, and naturally took in all their little movements.
The guests transformed from ghosts disappeared along with the destruction of the illusion, but these paper figures were not affected at all. Even the shrinkage they experienced was due to their own actions.
Yan Qing became even more curious about their existence and the ghost king mentioned by the man with the ball-headed paper mouth.
Now, Yan Qing frowned slightly when listening to the screams of the paper man with the ball head, which was a bit noisy.
The next second, the paper man with the bun seemed to have his mouth covered by something, and the scream turned into a whisper.
Seeing this, the other paper people nearby trembled and tried to reduce their presence.
However, the big devil's attention was still diverted to them: "Tell me, what's the matter with the ghost king marrying a wife?"
The big devil Yan Qing still had a gentle and calm expression on his face, and could even be said to have a good temper.
But that was not the case in the eyes of these paper people. They looked at Yan Qing, then at the paper person with a ball head who was mumbling and couldn't speak. Finally, the paper person holding a suona in one hand spoke first.
It stammered, "Our Ghost King has taken a fancy to a human cultivator and is planning to marry him. We are just creating an illusion to rehearse..."
With one person starting, the rest of the paper people began to explain at once.
"That's right, we didn't hurt anyone."
"Wuwuwu, now the illusion that the Ghost King set for us to rehearse has been broken. Will the Ghost King think that we are useless..."
Yan Qing picked and chose from this pile of nonsense and finally pieced together a piece of the truth.
According to these paper people, the Ghost King in their family suddenly made great progress in strength this month and then proclaimed himself the Ghost King.
Of course, the latter point is Yan Qing’s guess.
The story of how they caused what Yan Qing saw started a few days ago.
A few days ago, a seriously injured human swordsman accidentally entered the territory designated for him by his master.
Their master fell in love with the human swordsman at first sight, but that human cultivator was too ungrateful and was unwilling to become a partner with their master, the Ghost King.
I don't know why he relented later on, but he still insisted that the wedding ceremony must be the same as that of the human race.
The Ghost King spent a long time piecing together a wedding procession, which consisted of these paper people.
In order to please the human swordsman, they were allowed to rehearse in the illusion first to avoid mistakes during the ceremony.
I didn’t expect Yan Qing to enter this illusion and break the illusion that their Ghost King had painstakingly created…
Yan Qing had a strange look on his face. From the description he gave, why did this human swordsman look so much like Zhaoyang Sword Master?
But before Yan Qing could continue thinking, a paper man beating gongs and drums spoke cautiously: "Sir, we still have to go back and explain to the Ghost King, and we didn't hurt anyone, can you please let us go..."
The corners of Yan Qing's lips curved slightly. When the paper people thought she was soft-hearted and was going to let them go, Yan Qing said calmly, "What a bunch of nonsense."
The bloody aura in the illusion was overwhelming. There was no way it could be the innocent scene they described.
