I also knew that it would not make any sense to speculate any longer, so I simply stopped continuing the topic and escorted the Guan family sisters and brothers all the way to the direction of the mountain village.

It wasn't until dawn that we saw a barren mountain full of tombs. There is no decent vegetation to be found on the whole mountain, except for the grass that is more than a foot high, and under the grass are one after another tombstones without tombstones, which at first glance look like abandoned mass graves.

It stands to reason that there should not be any homes near the mass graves, but there are a few families at the foot of the mountain.

I pointed to a house in the distance and asked Guan Qianyan, "Is that the old house of your Guan family?" ”

"It should be!" Guan Tianyan deliberately took out the map and looked at it, "According to my grandfather, it should be the Guan family." ”

"Let's take a look...... "I was just about to walk into the village when I saw a group of people coming from the entrance of the village, and the first one was the matchmaker I saw last night. The old lady shouted at the top of her voice while asking the coffin to be lowered, "You all shut up when you go back." If we let the police catch us in that matter, we will lose our heads. ”

The matchmaker shouted in a hoarse voice: "Go back and put the cart down the mountain in all the rotten stomachs, even if the public security comes to grab the neck in the future, I have to say that I wanted to save them at that time but didn't save them." You know? Scattered, scattered, all scattered. ”

After the matchmaker took the person who greeted her relatives away, she muttered all the way to the village: "Bad luck, really bad luck, a good deal didn't work, and I met a ghost who thinks of spring, what the hell ......"

I took advantage of the old lady's muttering and scolding my mother, walked over the path behind the village, put my hand on my chest, and stopped on the road.

When the old matchmaker saw me, she screamed in fright, and "Puff" knelt on the ground and kowtowed lifelessly: "Great Immortal! Don't look for me! It's not that I want to push you down, that's ......"

After the old lady kowtowed a few times, she suddenly stopped, and looked at my feet with two eyes: "You are not dead!" Do you dare to play the old lady...... Old and young masters, all come out, someone is looking for trouble! ”

There were more than a dozen people in the village, but looking at their faces, the youngest was over fifty. What can these people do but be courageous?

I looked at the old lady with a smile: "It's useless for you to call people. No matter how many of you there are, can you be better than the police? See, there are only a few of us left dead in a car. You say, if I call the police, will you have to be dragged to the execution ground and shot your head? ”

"You ......" The matchmaker was the one who had gone through the wind and waves, and she reacted after panicking for a while, "Little brother, what do you want to do?" Bad money or errand, you speak, as long as you can do it, my Lao Liu will not be ambiguous. ”

The matchmaker knew that I was just threatening her, and if I really called the police, I wouldn't come out to talk to her about something, so she simply put on a posture of a charlatan and talked to me about the conditions.

"Happy!" I picked my thumb and said, "We're not here to ask for money or trouble, but to find a grave." ”

I told the old lady the purpose of my visit, and the other party was stunned, and it took a long time before he cautiously asked, "Little brother, which way are you an immortal?" ”

"Mr. Tohoku." As soon as I finished speaking, the old lady suddenly stood in awe: "Little brother, no, sir, let's go into the house and talk." ”

The old lady let us into a room, poured tea and said, "This gentleman, our families can eat this bowl of rice because of a former passing gentleman!" ”

"We're going to ask ......"

"Monk, wait a while, let the eldest lady finish." Monk Shi was just about to speak, but I waved his hand to stop him.

The old lady continued: "In the past, this place has been plagued by wars, bandits, and plagues, and people have almost died. Some good people nearby hastily collected the corpses and made them into the current Shili Tomb. ”

"This cemetery is divided into a southern grave and a northern grave, which means that there is a mass grave on the side of the Hetao in the south, and there is also a cemetery on the hill in the north. All the people in this place have died, and the current people have moved over. ”

The old lady pointed to the hillside outside and said, "But look, this is a place to live!" ”

The so-called mass grave is a place where a large number of people die in a war or plague, and it is too late to deal with it, and the body is hastily buried. For those who died either have no descendants, or their descendants have died in calamity.

The grave of the deceased is not taken care of, and no one burns paper to worship during the New Year's holidays, and the ghost lacks food and clothing in the underworld, so he must find the living to ask for sacrifices. Therefore, the vicinity of the mass grave must not be peaceful, and no one wants to live.

The old lady said that it was a problem for the people who moved here to survive here.

The old lady continued: "About forty or fifty years ago, a passing gentleman came, and our families begged him to help us eliminate the disaster. ”

"The gentleman went around the north and south graves in a big circle, and then said that this matter is not easy to do! If you want to do it once and for all, you have to find a monk to come over and make a big road field and surpass those dead souls. ”

The old lady sighed: "In those years, don't say that you can't find a monk, even if you find it, who can afford it!" I cried and clung to the gentleman and begged him to save us. We finally found a place to stay, and we didn't want to go anymore. ”

The gentleman looked at me for a long time before saying, "There is another way, it depends on whether we are willing to do it." I said at the time, I do, I want to do whatever I want. ”

The gentleman said he would wait until he tried it in the evening. He went up the mountain that night, and only came back the next morning, and told me that he had already negotiated with the ghosts on the mountain, and that he would let me be a matchmaker in the future, and he would marry the dead. ”

The gentleman said, "It won't be long before someone outside thinks about the secret marriage, and you will do this in the future." The graveyard on your mountain is ready-made, and when the time comes, just let the ghosts on the mountain out. A trip to the underworld marriage is enough for you to eat and drink for half a year. Whoever has a secret marriage, you let that family give a bride price, and this bride price is not for the living, but for the dead, and the wild ghosts in the cemetery will not look for you when they get the bride price. Those ghosts who are in a hurry to marry their daughters can't help you, can they still come to trouble you? ”

The matter of burning paper money, even if you get a bunch of yellow paper, it doesn't cost a few dollars, and it makes sense to let the living give a bride price.

But I always felt that Mr. Northeast's method was evil, not like what a Mr. Northeast should do.

The old lady seemed to guess what I was thinking: "At first, I thought that the gentleman was fooling me, but he said, let me wait a few days, and if this thing is not fulfilled in a few days, I will not bother him, and if it is fulfilled, I must promise him one thing." Come to think of it, it's like this anyway, just believe him! ”

"The gentleman went away, and a few days later he really came back with the person who was going to be married, and taught me how to make my first business. After that business, it was enough for our whole village to eat a year's worth of rice! ”

"I am grateful to the gentleman, but he stayed in the village for seven days and then left. During these seven days, he taught me how to marry people. The life of our village was saved by him. ”

When the old lady said this, she stopped to take a sip of water, but I opened my mouth and asked, "How do you know if the ghost is a man or a woman, and how can you match the eight characters of the birthday?" ”

The old lady smiled and took out a large sum of money: "That gentleman left me this before leaving." If someone wants to marry in the dark, I will put the big money out, and the next morning I will go up the mountain to find it, and I will open the grave where the big money falls. ”

"The big money is facing up, which means that there are male ghosts in the village, and they can be sons-in-law; A big man is a female ghost face down, and she can marry and be a daughter-in-law. As for the birthday, hehe......"

The old lady obviously didn't want to say more. Each line has its own secrets, and the same is true for the profession of underworld marriage. In ancient times, marriage matching was really exquisite, and it could exhaust people to death, from the combination of eight characters to the door, a complete set was enough to make people dizzy, and the same is true for secret marriages, or even more cumbersome.

Before getting married, you have to find someone who knows the roots, and before marriage, you have to inquire about the character of the family, visit the reputation of the afterlife, and see how old the person was when he died, why he left, whether he committed taboos, and whether he made trouble with his family...... In short, all kinds of things come down, and it is not over if you don't toss for a month.

The old lady can find the ghost from the mass grave and match it into a ghost marriage, it is definitely not as simple as she said, in addition to being able to speak, she must also have real skills. However, that ability is someone's job, and you can't ask casually, otherwise you will commit a taboo in the arts.

When the old lady smiled and tried to collect a large amount of money, my eyes suddenly shrank - there was a ghost eye painted on the big coin. If it weren't for the different materials of the big money, wouldn't it be exactly the same as the ghost money passed down from my grandfather?

I said quietly, "That gentleman seems to be a master! I don't know which one I inherited, maybe we still have some origins. ”

The old lady shook her head with regret and said, "Mr. not only said that he has no sect, but he didn't even tell us his name. Later, when we asked urgently, he said that his surname was Wu. You see, we also set up a tablet for him to live forever. ”

After the old lady lifted the red cloth on the shrine, I saw that the tablet was written "Mr. Wu Da". That person can't be my father, right?

Monk Shi was quick to speak for a while, and before I could speak, he said: "Old Wu, that person's surname is Wu, it can't be your father, right?" ”

The old lady smiled and said, "Definitely not according to age, if you want to say that this gentleman's grandfather is about the same." ”

I glared at Monk Shi: "There are many people surnamed Wu, and they all have something to do with me?" Auntie, you go on. ”

The old lady continued: "After almost twenty years of absence, Mr. Wu has come back again. ”
