Chapter 542: Red Sandalwood Clapper, Shaking Bell and Drumming

Xu Shuo stood at the street corner motionless.

And about ten meters away from him, the four white paper men carrying a white paper palanquin of roughly ten centimeters in size remained still as well.

Only a faint singing voice rose, seemingly both distant and near.

Suddenly, a red figure appeared at the end of the street, and at the same time, the white paper men which had been standing motionlessly in the middle of the alley took a step forward.

Xu Shuo's gaze shifted slightly as he calmly watched the blurred red figure opposite him.

The singing continued.

"On the thirteenth of July, an auspicious day on the solar calendar..."

"Don in red attire, lift the groom aloft..."

"Red sandalwood clapper, shaking bell and drum..."

"What a lively scene..."

The melancholic and mournful singing echoed in the empty alley, changing in unison with the approach of the paper men and the intermittently visible red figure.

But Xu Shuo remained where he was, unmoved.
