Jiraiya's Heroic Stories: Genshin Impact
Chapter 85 Red and White Collide
The traveler never expected that he would be easily dragged and moved by this child who looked only six or seven years old.
Is this malnutrition? Although they were a little scared, they still followed the child named Wuku reluctantly.
Miraculously, under Uku's leadership, the barrier that had been blocking everyone out was suddenly unblocked. It was so smooth that Jiraiya began to suspect it was a trap.
But you can't get a tiger cub without risking it. How could a hero care about such a thing? Jiraiya gently hugged Qiqi, and then followed Uku, and soon walked into the village.
The whole village is so dilapidated that it is unbearable to look at. It is an old village with old and dilapidated wooden-beam houses and almost no people.
But in fact, during the turbulent times of the Demon War, even outside under the sun, there were many villages as dilapidated as this one.
In comparison, this mountain village even has advantages, at least it doesn't have to deal with wind and rain. In fact, it's already amazing that they can build a city in such an environment, right?
Although Wuku said that there were people getting married and the village was bustling, in fact, there were no people on the streets.
There were only a few people sticking their heads out of the few houses with lights on. Like Wu Ku, they looked completely sick. It was hard to have a good impression of them.
They didn't show any expression on their faces when Jiraiya and the others came. Only their lifeless pupils flickered slightly downwards, proving that they were still alive.
Paimon was so frightened by these guys' actions that he whispered to Wuku, "Is this the excitement you mentioned, little Wuku?"
"Yes! It's so lively!" Wu Ku said assumingly, and Jiraiya instantly understood what the village was like on weekdays. I'm afraid those people with less hair than fingers don't even move on weekdays.
How could they still be alive in such a state? Of course, if you think about it carefully, these people's state is much more normal. How can a normal person be as happy as Wuku in such an environment?
Just when everyone was helpless and didn't know what to do next, loud suona sounds were heard from both ends of the road. Judging from the villagers' physical condition, there are actually people who can play suona in this place?
And it is so loud, it is really incredible. You should know that the lung capacity required by suona is the highest among all musical instruments. The so-called instrument hooligan, when suona sounds, all other music is silent.
The sound of the suona was neither sad nor joyful. It was just a tune that tugged at the heartstrings and made the listener feel extremely nervous.
"Look over there!" Paimon, who was flying, was the first to discover a group of people coming to the front of the street.
There were seven people in the group, all wearing red clothes, but for some reason this festive color looked weird on them, as if the entire clothes were dyed red with blood.
And based on Hu Tao's knowledge of the funeral industry, he was sure that these guys were wearing shrouds!
Among the seven people, four were carrying the bridal sedan chair, two were playing the suona vigorously, and the remaining one was walking at the front of the team in an extremely incongruous manner, holding a basket of paper money and throwing it all the way.
I feel that this custom is like the traditional culture of Liyue, but if anyone in Liyue dares to do this in the wedding party, he will definitely be beaten to death!
Looking at the paper money flying all over the sky, people couldn't believe that this was a wedding procession. On the other side, there was also suona playing, which was also neither sad nor happy, but contained an indescribable sense of weirdness.
On the other side, people were wearing plain linen clothes used exclusively for funerals. The configuration was the same as that for weddings, with four people carrying the coffin, two playing the suona, and one scattering paper money.
Everything was so normal. It would have been better if there wasn't that huge "囍" character on the coffin...
"This combination of red and white is really unlucky." Master Hu, who is from Liyue, suddenly muttered something, which really confused everyone.
Especially the Traveler and Paimon, who knew Walnut inside and out, couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of Walnut, the 77th head of the Wangsheng Hall.
"Why are you looking at me? No matter what, there is no way I can let the funeral procession collide with the wedding procession, right? This hall master will definitely plan it clearly." Hu Tao was obviously very confident in this aspect.
Looking at the teams at both ends, the confused people didn't want to cause trouble and dragged Wu Ku to the wall. They said so, but they knew in their hearts that this hellhole was not auspicious in this day and age.
In this way, the two sides, one carrying the sedan chair and the other carrying the coffin, collided in the middle of the road, but neither side gave way. The suonas played different pieces of music, and the strange music played together made the listeners feel dizzy and uncomfortable.
The sound of the suona was getting louder and louder, and everyone was stuck in the middle of the road. Well, this time it was really lively. Jiraiya, who couldn't stand the weird atmosphere, immediately wanted to lead everyone to leave, out of his instinctive avoidance of the dead.
Zilai walked towards the bridal sedan without thinking, and out of curiosity he glanced into the sedan a few times intentionally or unintentionally.
"You lecherous immortal! This is someone else's bride, stop peeking!" Paimon yelled, but her own eyes unconsciously looked inside.
This time curiosity did not kill the cat. Paimon thought that the person sitting in the sedan must be a woman who was influenced by the environment and was neither human nor ghost.
However, I didn't expect that the woman inside, no, I should say a girl, looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. She looked like a porcelain doll, which was very inconsistent with the surrounding environment.
At this time, the girl in the bridal sedan, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress, huddled in a corner of the sedan, shivering in fear. It seemed that there were tears in the corners of her eyes, but she dared not make a sound.
The veil that should have been on her head was scattered at her feet. How could she be happy about getting married? It was called a wedding dress, but in fact it was just a long red robe, which was as weird and inconsistent as the ones carrying the sedan chair outside.
Seeing this, Jiraiya hesitated, something seemed to be wrong. The noisy suona sound suddenly stopped. The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
All I heard were a few bangs, and it turned out that those people who looked like mummies were closing their windows one after another.
As if they were avoiding the plague, they were so thin and weak, but they closed the windows no slower than normal people.
The surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that he could clearly hear his own heartbeat and the heartbeats of the travelers, and even the heartbeat and teeth chattering of the girl in the sedan chair.
But I didn’t hear any human voice from those who were handling weddings or funerals.
Then the bearers of the sedan chair and the coffin unanimously placed the sedan chair and the coffin on the ground. As soon as they put them down, the four bearers of the coffin grabbed a corner of the coffin board and lifted it up.
"What are they doing!" Paimon shouted in horror. How could they open a person's coffin like this?
Walnut definitely can't tolerate this, right?
Before Paimon could recover from his shock, the four men carrying the bridal sedan controlled their stiff bodies and violently pulled the little girl hiding in the sedan out and tried to move her towards the coffin!
