Chapter 67: The scene of the ghost wedding

Zhao Hangyu followed the sound and searched around, and found that there was a female Tsing Yi under the street lamp who shook her water sleeves and danced.

Tsing Yi is a kind of Dan Xing in opera, the northern opera is mostly called Tsing Yi, and the southern opera is mostly called Zhengdan, which is named because the characters often wear blue pleats.

The characters are generally dignified, serious, and decent. Most of them are good wives and mothers, or chaste martyrs and the like. The performance is characterized by singing, with a small range of movements and relatively steady movements. Reciting rhyme white, singing skills are heavy.

I only heard the female Tsing Yi sing: "Women in the world have love, and they would rather be like Du Liniang............!

What she sang was an excerpt from "The Peony Pavilion", and it was also colorful. But Zhao Hangyu found that the figure of the female Tsing Yi appeared from time to time, and her feet did not touch the ground, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"I said that in the middle of the night, who would paint his face with flowers and nerves, it turned out to be a ghost in Tsing Yi. ”

Then he followed behind to see where the female ghost was going.

After following a long way like this, the body of the ghost in Tsing Yi floated into a long-abandoned theater, and Zhao Hangyu hid in the corner of the background silently to see what the other party wanted.

I heard the female ghost continue to sing: "Alas, the first king............ Since breaking with Xu Yang on that day, I don't realize that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. The prince was young, and the prince made a plot to usurp the throne. He had no father-daughter relationship there, and he treated my orphan and widow as a horse and cow. Miss Xu is guarding the gate of the palace, afraid that the master will come to search the palace ............"

Zhao Hangyu himself is not very interested in opera, but his grandfather was more enthusiastic during his lifetime, and occasionally came to the house for two sessions. I have been exposed to it a lot, and naturally I have a certain understanding of various operas.

Listening and listening, I suddenly felt that there seemed to be a gust of wind in the theater, and suddenly, the lights in the inner room were lit up one after another. Suddenly, I was shocked to see that the rows of seats were crowded with pale, expressionless ghosts, who were following the lyrics of the ghosts in Tsing Yi, shaking their heads rhythmically, looking extremely intoxicated.

I was stunned by the fact that there were so many ghosts at once.

Zhao Hangyu looked for a moment in the background, and suddenly found that there was a statue of Emperor Huaguang on the altar, and immediately had an idea.

Huaguang Emperor, also known as Lingguan Marshal Ma, Three-Eyed Lingguang, Huaguang Heavenly King, Water Grass King, Water Grass Ma Ming King, etc., is a god in folklore and Taoism.

The three eyes are the essence of fire, the star of fire, and the sun of fire, which is the symbol of the god of fire and one of the four saints of Taoist protectors. According to legend, his surname is Ma Lingyao, because he was born with three eyes, so the folk are also called "Ma Wangye Three Eyes", and the other three saints are Zhao Gongming, Wen Qiong, and Guan Yu.

Emperor Huaguang was originally the wick of the Buddha hall, and because of listening to it for a long time, he turned into the essence of fire, the spirit of fire, the yin of fire, and the soul of fire.

In the past, the king of Dulong was provoking in Leiyin Temple, and Huaguang set fire to burn him to death, and was later punished by Rulai to be reincarnated. Hua Guang first voted for Maershan, and then voted for Tonghua Palace, and was born in the house of Huo Dexing Jun.

Because he was good at using fire, he hid a gold brick fire pill on his body, and used fire to subdue demons at any time, so later the folk regarded him as the "god of fire". Every year on the twenty-eighth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, pear gardeners will hold a solemn ceremony to worship Emperor Huaguang in Huaguang Temple to pray for blessings and avoid disasters, commonly known as "Huaguang Festival". Pray for the exemption of fires and long-term prosperity.

Zhao Hangyu put the invisibility talisman on his body and shouted: "Bold evil animal! Why are you making trouble in the world?

The ghosts in the theater saw Huaguang appearing and fled one after another, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye. The female ghost in Tsing Yi bowed to the ground, shouting that there was a grievance, and begged the emperor to be the master for herself.

Zhao Hangyu pretended to cough twice, and pretended to be solemn and said: "If there is any grievance, play it quickly!"

The female ghost in Tsing Yi wiped two tears and told her story sadly.

It turned out that the female ghost was a foreigner before her death, but because of her family's embarrassment, she had to be sent to the pear garden by her parents to learn art.

Because of his good looks and delicate voice, he once became a pillar of the theater. It's a pity that the red face is thin, and the good times didn't last long, and they ended up with bad luck. I don't know which grass seedling on the ancestral grave didn't grow, but it actually encountered an evil spirit, and for a while, the famous characters and apprentices of the entire theater were all killed.

"Do you know what kind of youkai killed you?"

Zhao Hangyu saw the female ghost crying and crying, and hurriedly cut to the topic.

The female ghost thought for a while and said, "I only heard that guy claiming to be the ghost king of the earth, but the little woman secretly probed in the ghost world, and it seemed that she was only a green ghost." ”

"What!?"

Zhao Hangyu couldn't help but be taken aback, thinking to himself how the opponent would follow his strength to upgrade and increase accordingly, which was too cheating.

Legend has it that when a person dies in a red shirt, his soul will turn into a ghost and take revenge on his enemies, so it is usually said that the ghost in red is the most terrifying. In fact, there is another kind of ghost that is more terrifying than the ghost in red, and that is the green ghost.

According to legend, if you have a deep hatred and can't repay the person. You can lie in a coffin, lie at the bottom of the corpse for 7749 days without eating or drinking and practice into a half-human and half-ghost, commonly known as a green ghost.

The green ghost is because the resentment is too heavy, and the blood is retrograde at the moment of death, and the blood will turn green 7749 days after death, so it is also called the green blood ghost. The body of the green ghost is dead but not stiff, and if you have the ability, you can be reborn and become a demon corpse.

This is because it is practiced by ingesting the corpse qi of corpses, and it was originally called a ghoul, but it has been passed down for thousands of years to become a green ghost.

Because the green ghost is formed with hatred, it has higher mana than ordinary ghosts, and many magic weapons are ineffective against it.

Moreover, the green ghosts usually do not die, unless they are killed by high monks and mages or stabbed to death by pure yang qi, they are almost immortal. In addition, even if it takes revenge, it will not disappear because its wish is granted, but will become the king of ghosts and continue to bring disaster to the world.

The Green Ghost is not an official ghost, let alone a human, but something beyond the Three Realms, so many magic weapons cannot subdue it. If you want to fight with the green ghost, it is likely to be listed as one of the targets of revenge.

Therefore, if a mage wants to subdue the green ghost, he usually has to sign a life and death certificate. If you can kill a green ghost, then the mage will immediately make a name for himself in the art world, but it is almost impossible to do.

Zhao Hangyu couldn't help but feel a little worried, he originally just wanted to play a prank, but he didn't expect to have this kind of problem. If you accidentally damage the name of the Fire God and fly to the heavenly realm in the future, you will inevitably have to make an explanation, maybe Hua Guang may not necessarily appreciate it.

Seeing his expression flickering, the female ghost in Tsing Yi couldn't help asking, "Patriarch, do you feel embarrassed?"

"Bold! The little female ghost dares to question the mana of this god? Isn't it just a hidden ghost king, waiting for this god to get rid of it for you!"

Seeing the hope of redress, the female ghost hurriedly kowtowed: "If the ancestor can show his power to remove this evil for the world, the little woman is willing to serve as a cow and a horse!"

"Not necessarily. ”

Zhao Hangyu shook his head, "You are waiting for news here." ”

After that, he left quietly. At the same time, he even informed Lin Zixi with a message, saying that he was going to deal with the green ghost.

"Got it, you take it easy. ”

After Lin Zixi finished lazily, she quickly hung up.

Zhao Hangyu couldn't help sweating, the opponent was not idle, and he actually asked himself to relax and deal with it, which was simply wonderful.

The hometown of the female ghost in Tsing Yi is located in Jiuli Township, which is 200 kilometers west of Tiangang City. Therefore, there are hardly any people to be seen on weekdays, as if it is a ghost town.

Zhao Hangyu stepped on the clouds under his feet, yawning constantly in his mouth, thinking that since he had to take on an errand, he had to nourish his spirit, and he was so impulsive, he was tired of his youth.

At this time, the weather suddenly changed, and in an instant, dark clouds covered the sky, and there was a faint thunder in the sky. Seeing that the heavy rain was coming, Zhao Hangyu had to find a place to shelter from the rain first.

At this time, the sky is cloudy like an upside-down ink fountain, dull, with an unsettling atmosphere.

Suddenly, Zhao Hangyu saw a group of people walking out of the Huangsha Ancient Road, at first the distance was too far to see clearly, and after getting closer, he saw that it was a team of funeral people.

But what is puzzling is that this group of people is divided into two teams, two coffins side by side, could it be said that two people in a family died at the same time?

"Kiss the!"

A thought flashed through Zhao Hangyu's mind.

Marriage is a folk custom handed down from feudal society, if one family dies a son, another family dies a daughter. The children were unmarried before their deaths, and after consultation between the two families, they could become yin relatives, bury them together, and become husband and wife.

Although this custom has long been banned in most cities and counties, it has been practiced in some remote rural areas. The two coffins in front of him, no one in front of them raised a spirit flag to scatter paper money to open the way, but the coffin head was pasted with a big red happy word, and there was no doubt that they would be married.

Looking from afar, I saw two people carrying a three-story building made of paper on each side of the two coffins. There is a paper figure on the top of each building, the paper figure on the left is a boy, and the right is a girl, a pair of virgins, it seems that the deceased in the coffin on the left is a man, and on the right is a woman.

Behind the two coffins, followed by two donkey carts, on which were several people were sitting, who were supposed to be family members of the deceased. The gang was so vast that they took over almost the entire road, and there were ditches on both sides of the road.

Because Zhao Hangyu used stealth techniques, this group of people didn't even notice that someone was beside them. The two people who carried the building walked quickly to the coffin, and the coffin containing the female corpse walked close to Zhao Hangyu.

But at the moment when the coffin passed by, Zhao Hangyu suddenly had a very strange feeling, and his intuition told him that there was a living person lying in the coffin.
