Chapter 277: Ghosts’ Banquet

Not long after the white-clothed woman left, the wedding invitations of the Ghost Bride filled the sky and were delivered to all the ghosts within thousands of miles through some mysterious channel.

Among them, one invitation flew not only into Luohe City but also into the Lin Ancestral Hall.

At this moment, Lord Lin Daosheng was waiting in the courtyard deepest in the Lin family residence, looking at the red invitation that flew into his hands, deep in thought.

Beside him, his eldest granddaughter Lin Mohua was also there. Lin Mohua looked carefully at her grandfather and asked, "Is this… a wedding invitation? Who sent it?"

Lord Lin Daosheng answered in a hoarse and deep voice, "A ghost."

Lin Mohua was somewhat surprised but then felt relieved. She thought it was the man who sent the invitation.

"Ghosts can also send wedding invitations? This ghost must be very special."

Lord Lin Daosheng nodded slightly, confirming his granddaughter’s judgment.

So Lin Mohua asked again, "Will you go then?"

The old man shook his head, "If I can’t leave, I won’t go even if I can."

After saying that, he casually threw the invitation card on the table, "But someone is in trouble, I hope he can get through this challenge, if he can’t, he will die."

Although it was just a simple invitation card, the old man seemed to have figured out a lot of information…

……

Below Green Cloud Mountain, the person in charge of Langchao City, who had received a call from Chu Jiang, rushed over to provide assistance, but encountered some trouble along the way.

To be precise, Zhou Hongyu noticed several suspicious Ghost Masters lingering nearby, but they hadn’t noticed him yet.

Those individuals were an old man with a mustache and a young man and woman.

Zhou Hongyu couldn’t be sure if the old man was a Ghost Master. But the other two, he was certain of, due to the eerie aura they naturally emitted, which was hard to hide from a fellow practitioner.

Right now, the pale-faced Zhou Hongyu is standing behind several Ghost Masters. His right eye is open while his left eye is closed, and on the closed eye, there is a black leaf stuck to it.

Even though Zhou Hongyu is so close to these people, they didn’t notice anyone coming. They were only looking at the ghost fog covering Green Cloud Mountain and talking about some things related to coffins.

After listening for a while, Zhou Hongyu quietly left and called Chu Jiang. It took a while for the call to connect.

"Hello, Captain Chu, I have now arrived at the foot of Green Cloud Mountain, and I have discovered some suspicious individuals."

As Zhou Hongyu roughly described what he saw and heard, Chu Jiang on the other end was lost in thought. So, that’s how it is…

To verify the speculation, Chu Jiang asked Zhang Dafu, who was present, about the appearance of the geomancer he had found. The description matched exactly with what Zhou Hongyu had described.

Then it’s correct.

Earlier, Chu Jiang had suspected that the geomancer Zhang Dafu had hired knew that there were dead people here, but he only pretended to say that digging further was not possible. However, in his words, he suggested to Zhang Dafu that there was a way to resolve it.

This man intentionally used the superstitions, greed, and love for power of the Zhang family to encourage them to continue digging.

After the coffin was really dug up, the gentleman asked them to bury the coffin back exactly as it was.

It seems that from start to finish, they were all following the ghost’s ideas, purely using the Zhang family as pawns.

Only Zhang Dafu still had a conscience and didn’t think of stealing someone else’s grave.

If he really insisted on burying his own grandfather’s coffin, then Chu Jiang would wait for this guy to die before dealing with this incident.

Speaking of this Feng Shui master, since he knew the exact burial location of the coffin, would he know the origin of the Ghost Bride…

Forget it, this is not the time to think about this now, let’s just survive first.

Chu Jiang told Zhou Hongyu not to rush into the ghost fog and to continue monitoring those people, then put down his phone.

Then he looked at the crowded guests in front of him, Chu Jiang sighed silently. What a mess this was. If the Ghost Bride didn’t make a move, he wouldn’t have known that there were so many ghosts around…

As for this "neighborhood," Chu Jiang didn’t know how large the area was. But anyway, one creepy ghost after another had filled over twenty tables.

They looked scary and horrifying. Some had heads cut off and stomachs cut open; some had bloated bellies; some had ghost mothers carrying babies; some were wearing only a pair of old shoes; and some couldn’t be seen at all, just a floating invitation card…

As for the old corpses, ghosts, skeletons, and so on, not to mention, there were even new ghosts coming.

For example, as soon as Chu Jiang put down the telephone, he saw a Chess Ghost with a pattern of a chessboard on its body, holding an invitation card in its right hand, carrying a chessboard on its back, and leading a young man into the courtyard.

At first sight of the young man trembling like a little chick, Chu Jiang was stunned.

When Xu Shengtian saw Chu Jiang, he immediately exclaimed in excitement, "Big brother, it’s me, help!"

"No, not you again? And why is it this ghost again? How did you get involved with it?"

Xu Shengtian felt like crying, "How would I know? I was working hard, and this persistent guy came knocking on my door again. Maybe it was being mistreated outside and wants to regain some confidence from me."

In any case, the Chess Ghost received the invitation card and didn’t forget about its "chess partner," so it brought Xu Shengtian along.

As these two took their seats, the following guests became scarce.

After a few minutes, when the last ghost rolled into the courtyard like a ball, the surroundings suddenly erupted into joyful music, as if announcing the formal start of the wedding feast.

However, at that moment, a white shadow flew out from the ghost ball.

The shadow turned into a woman with long hair reaching her waist, dressed in a white gown. She had a white veil on her head and held an ancient-style long sword, gracefully descending like a goddess.

Chu Jiang was somewhat surprised to see that she seemed to be a human, not a ghost.

"Oh my gosh!" Xu Shengtian, who had been timidly holding a cup of wine, slapped the table and stood up immediately!

"The female hero arrived just in time! Are you here to steal the bride?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone, both human and ghost, turned to look at him.

Xu Shengtian became nervous all of a sudden. He raised his hands and slowly sat back down, implying that everyone didn’t need to pay attention to him as a minor character.

Ghost Bride didn’t seem to mind the presence of a human who had sneaked in. Standing quietly all this time, it turned around and looked at Chu Jiang through its red veil.

If this was a human woman, Chu Jiang could easily imagine the gentle expression under her red hood.

But this is a ghost, Chu Jiang can only hope that her intention is not to accompany him to the afterlife on their wedding night…

Although the white-clad woman is new here, she has experience dealing with ghosts. After scanning the surroundings, she quickly noticed that Chu Jiang was in some kind of unavoidable danger.

His body trembled slightly, and his hands, which had turned pale, clenched tightly as if he was fighting against some invisible supernatural force.
