Chapter 125 : The Ghost Wedding (2)
The portal led to an illusory world, a separate space that the Ghost Mistress of Ceremony created to give the poor souls a beautiful wedding ceremony. It was, so to say, a parting gift before they descended to the Underworld.
Upon crossing the portal, Zhang Fengxi found himself standing on a narrow path, flanked by rows of tall bamboo trees on both sides. In front of him was a line full of the bridegroom dolls.
Zhang Fengxi looked around in search of Xie Jianyu, but the latter was nowhere to be found. It seemed that the brides and bridegrooms were separated when they entered through the portal. Since Zhang Fengxi landed with the bridegrooms, Xie Jianyu most likely landed with the brides.
"The time has come!" a male voice reverberated through the air, followed by the sound of a gong being hit in the distance.
DONG
DONG
DONG
Zhang Fengxi felt multiple tugs at his robe.
The little boy dolls that urged him to go through the portal now urged him to follow the bridegroom procession as they moved forward.
The walls of trees cleared up when the procession reached the wooden bridge.
Zhang Fengxi narrowed his eyes at a lavish pavilion that stood tall and mighty at the center of the illusory space. It must be the actual wedding ceremony venue.
