Chapter 78: The Wedding Banquet
The wedding ceremony continues to be lively, but this life and death are opposite, joy and sorrow are mixed, and this spooky wedding banquet exudes a different kind of strange atmosphere.
The groom is the bones of a disabled boy, I heard that in the early years of the Gansu Wang Ma family conscription, Yongxian killed many men, maybe this boy is one of them, as early as a few days ago the boy's bones were re-excavated, at this time the big red cloth is thick surrounded by it, for the underworld men and women to match the ghost matchmaker, that is, the big gold tooth under the gaze of everyone, with rice and noodles to fill the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, etc......
According to the customs of the ancient land of the Yellow River, if it is not stuffed with seven orifices, it is not good for the "offspring", the girl's body is lying quietly in another blood-red coffin, no one disturbs, only the two people who look like her parents stand next to it and seem to be telling something, but there is no sadness on the face, but a smile of satisfaction, waiting for the end of the ceremony, the daughter can be buried with the groom in the man's ancestral grave.
In the eyes of the woman's parents, the "benefits" of the secret marriage to the girl are obvious. According to custom, an unmarried woman cannot be buried in the ancestral grave, because this will anger the ancestors, so she can only be placed on the ridge and thrown on the river beach, but if there is a secret marriage, she can be buried in the man's ancestral grave and enjoy the incense...... Therefore, the hot market not only brought a lot of income to the woman's relatives, but also allowed the girl to settle in the ground as soon as possible, avoiding the end of the violent corpse field.
For the man, after the marriage is completed, he can pass on the descendants of his relatives and pass on this lineage so that it will not become extinct.
The locals believe that only after the children get married, the parents can be regarded as having completed the obligation to raise them, and the marriage of the children who are not married is also a wish. In addition, according to the local doctrine of gods and ghosts, after the death of a married family member, the soul will continue to shelter the entire family, and if there is a soul in the family who is not married. This soul will turn into an evil spirit because of loneliness and hatred, curse the living of the family, and bring misfortune to the entire family.
The secret wedding ceremony was hot, and the groom's parents were very envious and jealous of many visitors. Because according to the market situation, such a "high-quality" female corpse is hard to find, and it is not something that can be bought for a thousand silver dollars at all, but this is thanks to the big gold tooth half a year ago when the girl was still breathing and built a bridge, so the parents of the groom lying in the blood-red coffin wrapped a big red envelope for the big gold tooth. Big Golden Tooth hurried back to preside over this dark marriage ceremony, and most of the reason was for this red envelope.
The parents on both sides toasted several large cups of big gold teeth, and the words of the big gold teeth began to become more and more under the strong wine: "Aunt Hu, I tell you, the current market even if the bones of more than ten years cannot be sold at a price, but as long as it is determined that it is a woman's bones, there is still a transaction, and the price of fresh "dried bones" ranges from a few hundred yuan to thousands of yuan, judging from the current market, you can't take it at all if you don't give 5,000 yuan for your fresh daughter-in-law......
In this way, Aunt Hu's family only used 1,000 silver dollars to match her son with a "good daughter-in-law", which is indeed a big bargain. But this cheap is not for anyone to pick up, Aunt Hu and his wife are both prominent families in the town, there are large areas of fertile land on the river beach, compared to the bitter farmers, it is a family with good conditions, the woman's parents are naturally willing to climb relatives with Aunt Hu's family, and it is reasonable to give a "preferential" price.
This reflects a phenomenon of local ghost marriage, the richer the family, the less money is paid for the ghost marriage, and the less money the family has. The more you bleed, the more you bleed. It is really sad and lamentable!
"Aunt Hu, hurry up and give another cup to the big golden master!" There was a heckling.
"My cub has been dead for so many years, and he has not been at peace. He was very happy to thank his parents for marrying him a daughter-in-law...... Therefore, Da Jin Ye is the benefactor of my family, and my child and his father will toast him three more cups! "The woman named Sister-in-law Hu was flushed and looked excited." Good! Everyone was also very happy, pushing the atmosphere of the wedding banquet to the **.
Just when I was a little sentimental, even if these girls died, they couldn't escape the "words of their parents' orders and matchmakers". A faint voice sounded in my ears: "At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and secret marriages began to appear in detail, the most famous of which is that Cao Cao lamented the death of his young son Cao Chong and proposed marriage to Zhen's deceased daughter...... Worthy of the Underworld Marriage! ”
I'm a little shocked, Cao's family, it's Cao's again, we came to Tianshui Town this time for the tomb of Emperor Wei Wen Cao Pi, it turns out that the mysterious marriage here is also related to Cao's, it seems that we really didn't find the wrong place.
Suddenly hearing this faint word, I suddenly reacted after a hundred turns in my mind, how could anyone talk to me, and it was a familiar female voice who spoke, so I turned my head sharply and saw Ying Ziling, who was looking at me with a smile.
Reflecting my big and bright ghost eyes, the orange suit is naturally open, showing a red and white velvet coat, and the lake blue tight trousers set off the slender legs, which are both chic and beautiful, and it is really a peerless stunner that makes people's hearts move. As a woman, I can't help but admire myself in my heart.
"You're the ghost in the body of the Little Palm Sect, right?" Ying Ziling asked lightly.
"So you already knew!" It dawned on me.
"Our winners are born with a nose for fragrance, and you can know the smell of goblins and ghosts as soon as you smell them!" As soon as she finished speaking, I couldn't help but look at her nose, the white and ruddy face of this big beauty was inlaid with a straight, beautiful little nose, and when she spoke, the strange and slender little nose was really fanning slightly.
"Looking for a fragrant nose? The world is so big that there is no wonder...... Then you know I'm a ghost, why aren't you afraid of me? I asked, curious.
"It's just a ghost, people are sometimes much more terrible than ghosts, and besides, sister, your taste is so good, I have never smelled such a refreshing soul smell......" The more this winner Ling said, the more outrageous it became, I saw that her saliva seemed to be about to flow out, and I was afraid of it, so I hurriedly stopped.
"Do you know, when we first met in Hong Kong, I smelled you, just into the nose, although the taste is astringent, but when it slowly seeps into the nasal cavity, it is a fragrant aftertaste, sweet, slowly will melt into the soul, I have never smelled such an intoxicating smell......" Ying Ziling looked intoxicated, and the more she spoke, the deeper she spoke, listening to her words, I thought she was savoring some delicacies of the mountains and seas.
"Then have you ever smelled the special smell of immortality?" I hurriedly digressed the subject and asked cautiously. Because I suddenly thought of the night when the lion roared and the tiger roared, and the crane danced suddenly, under the gaze of countless lives in greed and awe, Changsheng exuded a different fragrance, that fragrance made people's mouths relish, and made people have very strange and terrifying thoughts, will this fragrance be discovered by Ying Ziling?
"Immortality? Little Palm Teaching? He tastes good, but it's far worse than you! The most smelly thing is Yao Jiuyin, and it makes people angry when they smell it! ”
"Hehe, senior brother is still good!" I breathed a sigh of relief, but Ying Ziling's dissatisfaction with Yao Jiuyin, I could only "hehe".
"Senior brother?"
"That's right! I'm also the apprentice of the Winning Toad, and I'm also the ninety-ninth generation of the Tomb Sect's head of the sect......"
"Disrespectful and disrespectful, I didn't expect that Win Toad Fairy Gu is really educated, a generation of strange people!" Ying Ziling exclaimed with some shock.
(To be continued.) )
PS: PS: With further understanding, our two beauties chatted very happily, and they hated to see each other late, so my female ghost became best friends with Yingzi Ling...... Good girlfriends, then vote!
