Zhu Qingsheng remained silent. His master Sima Yuanhe taught him a lot of principles of dealing with people and many martial arts, but this "emotion" was not mentioned in a word. Does this feeling really have such great magic power? People will never forget it from birth to death from humans to ghosts.

I heard Lu Jian continue to say, "I was so happy that day that I couldn't wait to run home, and opened my mouth and told my parents, and my parents were really happy for me. On the morning of the fifteenth day before August, my father asked me for the road and wanted to pay homage to his relatives, whom he had never met. At that time, I was both happy and nervous. In a panic, I talked about the name of the road several times. Until my father set off with a gift package, I was still nervous."

"That day was really hard. I guess what should my father say after he arrived, but the result would be good or bad? My father left in the morning and didn't come back until dark. He was drunk and full of joy on his face. He patted my shoulder and said that I was not bad at knowing people. He found a good family and a good daughter-in-law for him. When I heard this, my heart was immediately let go. At that time, I was really afraid that the fathers of the two families would have disagreements and break up."

"The next morning, my father called me to the study and said to me with a smile: 'You kid is lucky. This in-law is really good. We really get along with each other when we talk. I have seen that kid, except for her being my daughter-in-law, I still don't know the truth about the others. However, since ancient times, it has been the order of parents and the matchmaker's words. Although our two families are willing, the process between them must not be missed. Let's do this. Let's wait for two days to choose a good day and ask a matchmaker to lay the groundwork and make the marriage as soon as possible so that you can fully rest assured.'"

"I really couldn't believe my ears at that time. I often heard the eight words "Parents' orders, matchmakers' from operas, and they were all used to coerce their children. I didn't expect that when I came to me, it would be a great thing."

"That's it. Until the 28th of next month, my father called me to the study again. At that time, he was writing something on the desk. I didn't dare to look up. After a long time, my father smiled at me and said that the thing I had dreamed of came. Then he threw a notebook over. I took it and saw two big golden words on the front. Brother, you know, it's the book of employment in your hand. At that time, I was so happy that I felt so light that I didn't know how to bring people and gifts to her house."

Yes, it is indeed a happy thing for lovers to get married, Zhu Qingsheng thought.

"At that time, Lord Taishan, I looked at the letter of appointment and suddenly sighed, and shed tears. I was shocked and thought he was unwilling to do so, but then I realized that he had only such a daughter. If he went out to get married, he would be alone. After I understood, I immediately knelt down and said, "My father is here, Xiaosheng is not an ungrateful person. You will be my real father in the future. We will take good care of you, no worse than before." After that, Dongdong kowtowed a few times. Brother, you think I am making him happy. In fact, I am really grateful to me Lord Taishan. If it weren't for his straightforward temper and agreed happily, we would have to take many detours."

"I knelt quietly on the ground. It took a long time. I heard Lord Taishan sigh, put the letter of appointment in my hand, and then walked out of the door. My mind buzzed at that time, and I didn't move. Would he not want to? He ran home in a daze and couldn't say anything."

"My father hurried over after hearing the news. He took the appointment letter and was stunned. He then laughed loudly and said, "You stupid boy, why don't you hurry to pay homage to your father-in-law and kowtow a few times." I raised my head in confusion and looked at my father pointing at the "March 16" on the back of the appointment letter and said to me, "Your father-in-law doesn't read much, and it's not like our sour scholars, just like he is just a twist. Look, hasn't he written out the date?"

"Brother, you have guessed what happened next. The old men from the two families started preparing for the marriage, but we were happy and often went to see the mountains and rivers and strolled around the market... That period was the happiest time in my life."

Lu Jian sighed, "In a blink of an eye, it was the day when we got married. I hadn't slept all night. I rode a tall horse in the early morning, with all the instruments on both sides, beating and playing. The seven or eight-year-old child was spinning and dancing around us, giving us a lot of candy before walking away. After picking up Huixin, on the way back, when passing by the river bank, the man in black appeared."

After saying this, Lu Jian had become much calmer than before, saying: "The river bank is in the wild, and the nearby families usually don't come over without any trouble. That day, our bride-welcoming team was walking on the road. At that time, the man in black rowed a boat and approached him. We all thought it was a passing fisherman or a guest, and they didn't care..."

Speaking of this, Lu Jian slowly closed his eyes and said with great sadness and regret: "At that time, none of us cared about it, and we were still walking with blows and beatings. The man in black jumped up from the boat, without any signs. A cold light flashed, and the person in front of us fell down. My horse jumped down in panic, and then felt a pain in his chest. A silver needle was hit on my ribs. Later I realized that if my horse hadn't jumped like that, the silver needle would have shot into my mind."

Zhu Qingsheng was shocked. Is the man in black seven years ago the man in black who is now harming the man in black? His technique is almost the same, with no signs at all, and he secretly started to harm people.

Lu Jian said slowly: "The man in black killed people very quickly. In a moment, he almost killed all the people who were escorting the bride. Huixin heard a wrong voice in the sedan chair. She was anxious to come out to see what was going on, but he tied it up and threw it aside. Speaking of it, I was really ridiculous. Seeing that he had killed more than a dozen people in a moment, his methods were vicious and he was so scared that my mind was blank and I couldn't walk. The man in black came over and looked at me coldly, without any feelings at all.

Yes, I was so scared that I couldn't move at all. I saw him wearing a black iron mask, only showing his eyes, nose, and mouth. The silver needle in his hand shook, and then turned around and walked away. When I thought he was going to let me go, the silver needle in his hand flashed suddenly and shot into my mind. When I became conscious again, I became a lonely ghost in this water..." The tone seemed to float into Zhu Qingsheng's ears with endless sadness and regret.

Even though he was far away, Zhu Qingsheng could feel his sadness and anger, and asked carefully: "Didn't anyone survive?"

Lu Jian sighed: "No, no one survived, and all the maids and mothers were killed by him, probably buried in another place. Only Xin'er, saw her tied up by the man in black before I died, and at the moment before I died, I realized that the man in black came for Xin'er..."

After listening to Lu Jian’s words, the old things seven years ago were solved.

Zhu Qingsheng was stunned. If the man in black seven years ago was the same person as the man in black now, then why did he kill so many people? Where did he come from? Who is the real person?

Suddenly, Lu Jian said, "There is something I'm not sure about. Among us, Zhao Yuangui, who plays suona, is a master Zhao. After we died, we all turned into ghosts and gathered together, but we didn't see him. Was he buried in another place? Or was he not dead at all and was alive."

Suona? Zhu Qingsheng felt it was so familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
