Chapter 254 Why Not Wear White Clothes
Good grief, just what I feared most has come to pass.
Just as Yuchi Gong was about to speak, the servant smiled slightly and added, "Give me the spears, gentlemen, as well."
Yuchi Gong: "..."
It seems we have no choice but to hand over this weapon.
"Please forgive me, gentlemen, but my wife is in poor health and easily frightened."
Yun Fuzhao nodded, "Then we'll trouble you to keep it safe for us."
"Don't worry, gentlemen, I will return the swords and spears to you all after the banquet."
The servant carried dozens of longswords and spears, walking steadily, unlike an ordinary person at all.
"Congratulations, congratulations."
Suddenly, a series of voices came from behind. Yun Fuzhao turned around and saw a large group of people standing behind him. They bowed to a middle-aged man and thanked him.
Yun Fuzhao noticed that they were all wearing plain white robes, even the servant from before was dressed in white.
Why are they dressed in all white on such a joyous occasion?
"Congratulations! I am deeply grateful to all of you for being able to attend my granddaughter's one-month celebration."
Yu Zhiyue: "When did they appear? There was no one there when we came in."
Their group was very conspicuous, and the middle-aged man who identified himself as Wu was taken aback when he saw them.
He strode over and shouted angrily, "Why aren't you all wearing white?!"
The group was stunned by his shout.
Yun Fuzhao was the first to react, "Hey, look at this, didn't we come in too much of a hurry? It's inevitable to be a little excited on such a joyous day."
She blinked. "I wonder if there are any extra clothes in your household?"
Seeing that she was in a good mood, the man's expression softened, and he casually called a servant to him, saying, "Take them to change their clothes."
After saying that, he added, "The full moon banquet will begin in half an incense stick's time. You must be back before then, otherwise..."
A strange smile curled at the corner of his lips. "But then you'll never catch up."
Yun Fuzhao nodded and slipped a few silver coins into his hand. "We apologize for any shortcomings on our part, sir."
Mr. Wu: "..."
The disciples outside the frame fell silent upon seeing this scene.
"This kid has potential."
"To be honest, his smile is so annoying, it makes you want to retaliate."
"Lower abdomen?"
"..."
The group followed the servants to a secluded house with sixteen rooms. "Please, gentlemen."
That corresponds exactly to their number of people.
Xunliu: "One room at a time, to be honest, it's a little scary."
Bu Xiuwei: "If you're scared, just call me Brother Xiuwei."
Why did you hurt me?
"..."
Yun Fuzhao: "We need to hurry. In my experience, it's best not to disobey the NPC's advice."
Hu Chengcai scoffed, "He's just a mortal, look how scared you are! If you ask me, I should lead this team..."
His response was a series of loud "bangs" as the door slammed shut.
Yun Fuzhao entered the room, which was simply furnished with an antique bed and a bronze mirror.
It made her scalp tingle.
She quietly moved away from those two things and quickly changed.
She opened the door and found that the others were still waiting. Yun Fuzhao decided to go nearby to see if there were any clues.
Based on the current situation, it seems that we need to find clues to crack this dungeon in order to successfully complete it.
She hadn't walked far when she smelled a foul odor, like animal excrement.
She instinctively walked in the direction of the smell, and soon she found the source of the stench in a secluded courtyard.
Inside the enclosure, there were plump and strong pigs. They even grunted and snorted when they saw Yun Fuzhao.
Her gaze moved downwards, and she saw that all the pigs wore longevity locks around their necks, tied with red ropes, and the words "May you live a long and healthy life" were engraved on the round silver ornaments in front of them.
Hanging a longevity lock on a pig?
This family is really interesting.
"Yun Chao!"
Upon hearing Yuchi Gong's voice, Yun Fuzhao immediately turned back and found that everyone had already changed their clothes.
Where is Hu Chengcai?
Xun Liu said irritably, "That guy is the most procrastinator."
Yun Fuzhao strode to the last room and knocked hard on its door. "Hu Chengcai, aren't you ready yet?"
"This fabric is terrible, it's uncomfortable for me. I won't wear it!"
Yuchi Gong was speechless. "Where did this pampered young master come from?"
"You don't know anything! I've always worn top-quality fabrics since I was a kid. I'd be allergic to this cheap stuff!"
Yu Chi Yan reminded her, "Time is running out; we must get back immediately."
This burden... Yun Fuzhao sighed and gave a wry smile, giving him one last chance, "Are you going to change him or not?"
"Don't change!"
"Never mind him, let's go."
If anything goes wrong, it's his own fault.
The commotion outside quickly subsided. Hu Chengcai couldn't believe they had really abandoned him, and a nameless anger surged within him.
He stood up in a fit of rage, flung open the door, only to find that the sky, which had been bright just moments before, had suddenly turned dark.
It was pitch black ahead.
It's like something is lurking in the shadows.
Hu Chengcai's heart pounded, and he instinctively retreated back into the room. The candlelight on the table lit up, offering him his only solace.
"Let's just wait here for them to come back."
Hu Chengcai walked back to the bronze mirror and fiddled with his hair in front of it.
As he fiddled with it, he noticed a white shadow behind his reflection in the bronze mirror.
His relaxed nerves tensed instantly, and he turned around tremblingly, only to find nothing behind him.
He breathed a sigh of relief. What was that all about? It was just a hallucination.
He turned his head with lingering fear, and a face without features suddenly loomed large.
"Ahhh!"
-
Yun Fuzhao and the others returned in time.
Mr. Wu held up his fingers and counted them off one by one, “One, two, ... fifteen.”
As he finished counting, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Why is one person missing?"
Yuchi Gong: "He said he's not used to wearing these clothes and is throwing a tantrum."
Mr. Wu chuckled. "Is that so? Now that you've changed your clothes, please take a seat."
Yun Fuzhao discovered that all the guests were already seated.
There are six people at a table, but their table is one person short.
Soon a guest was led over, and Yun Fuzhao noticed that the man's eyes were empty, as if his soul had been ripped out.
"Master, look."
Yu Zhiyue whispered, "Each person has three chopsticks."
Upon hearing this, Yun Fuzhao looked down and saw a bowl and three chopsticks in front of him.
Three chopsticks, are they only used when offering sacrifices to ancestors?
Master Wu said with a smile, "Please, everyone, begin."
Just as Yu Zhiyue was about to pick up her chopsticks, Yun Fuzhao stopped her, saying, "Let's see how they use them first."
Upon hearing this, the others did not immediately pick up their chopsticks.
Yun Fuzhao looked at the person at their table, who expressionlessly picked up three chopsticks and respectfully inserted them into the overflowing rice.
