Chapter Ninety-Eight: Ghost Kiss
I worked so hard that I didn't have time to eat dinner, and finally at eight o'clock in the evening, all the items were prepared.
The Zhao family has no queen, but I was promised a treasure at the beginning, so I didn't treat the Zhao family badly.
Slave maids, gold mountains and silver mountains, rui beast Ming vessels, green oxen and white horses, etc., everything that can be done has been prepared. There is also the most important wedding and groom for the Zhao family's father and daughter.
I specially tied a tall horse, on which sat a groom official with flying eyebrows, followed by a large sedan chair.
Inside the sedan chair sat a bride with a phoenix crown, and the bride's cuffs were written with Miss Zhao's name and birth date on talisman paper.
These things add up to fill the entire store, and even line up outside the store.
"There are so many, we can't move!" Liansheng was a little worried when he saw so many things.
In desperation, the two of us still had to find the landlord, rented a truck, and loaded everything on.
A small amount of paper can be burned for a short time in a hidden place in the city, and if such a large truckload of things burns in the city, it will definitely attract fire.
But in the wild, no one cares about that.
"Master of the land, Ma Fayang, a disciple of the magic vein of the North Pole of the Dharma Sect, today he borrowed the treasure land to do good deeds through yin and yang, and the marriage of Miss Zhao Yingying of Zhao Baokun's family in Yucheng Yangshan Village! Please ask the lord of the land to give permission, and specially prepare 10,000 taels of gold to thank God! ”
Got to the flat place of the wilderness and put everything down. Before the official start, I twisted incense and bowed to the land and reported to my home. Then a large amount of gold ingots and paper money were burned to the land lord.
"All the deacons Gong Cao, the ghosts and gods, the messengers of the underworld, the lonely souls and wild ghosts from all walks of life, friends who have passed by, today's Zhao Mansion is a happy event, please make it convenient and share joy!"
He bowed to the four directions with incense, and after the burning paper money was finished, he informed Liansheng to light all kinds of paper supplies given to Zhao's father and daughter.
Paper-bound things are the easiest to ignite, and they burn as soon as they are lit. In the darkness, the flames frantically licked the darkness around them and everything that could burn.
Gusts of wind swept through the flames, and the surroundings began to become eerie.
"It seems to be foggy!"
The landlord was timid, and although he was accompanied by Liansheng and me, he still couldn't help but tremble all over his body, and his eyes looked around. I found that I don't know when fog had begun to appear in the surroundings, and it was everywhere blocking the view.
"Shhh
I motioned to the landlord to keep him quiet.
In the mist, there was a faint sound of suona, which was extremely depressing in the gloomy and tumbling fog. The originally festive sound is also panicked and frightening.
A few red lanterns, leading the way, led a team to send off relatives, breaking through the fog.
When this team came to our side, the sound of suona and the team of relatives stopped at the same time.
The chubby figure of Mr. Zhao appeared in front of us, and behind him, followed by the bride in the red cover, and the groom who was slightly sluggish.
"Little Lao'er takes his daughter and son-in-law and salutes his benefactor!" Master Zhao took his daughter and son-in-law and bowed to us to thank us.
"Hurry up and get on your way, don't be delayed! We don't have any congratulatory gifts to give, so let's ask Venerable Rinpoche to recite the Buddha's Sutra to you! ”
I returned the salute and then asked the little monk Liansheng to recite the scriptures.
Master Zhao and they thanked again, the figure disappeared into the mist, the suona sound sounded again, and the team to send off relatives began to move forward again, slowly being overwhelmed by the fog.
The voice of the little monk Liansheng chanting sounded, like golden ripples, rippling in the mist.
After the recitation of the scriptures, the procession of sending off relatives and the sound of suona all disappeared into the vast night, and with it, the surrounding fog.
The stars and the moon reappeared in the sky, and all the incense candles, ingots, paper money, and paper supplies on the ground had all been burned and turned into a pile of flying ashes, which was swept away by the wind and everywhere.
"Thank you!"
Liansheng, just like Zhao Baosheng before, raised his palms and bowed respectfully to me.
When he was in Yangshan Village before, Liansheng wanted to use supernatural powers and Buddhism to directly get rid of Zhao's father and daughter. It's just because of me that I didn't start.
At that time, he believed that pursuing justice, people and ghosts have different paths, is to subdue demons and eliminate demons, that is, to get rid of evil that should not exist in this world.
But since I was with me, this mindset has gradually changed.
Today, I have given him the opportunity to use the mantra to transcend the unconcerned soul, complete his merits, and improve his cultivation.
I smiled slightly and calmly accepted the little monk's salute.
"This, this, this is like a dream!" Compared with the little monk's diligence and surprise, the landlord was more frightened.
I patted him on the shoulder and took the opportunity to encourage enlightenment, "You can just think of this ghost as a special creature, and they can also communicate, so don't be so afraid of them!" ”
After saying that, I clapped my palms and said, "Okay, call it a day, let's go to the lion's mouth mass grave!" ”
The landlord shuddered and let out a wail, "What are you doing in the middle of the night to go to the mass grave?" Can't we be normal! ”
"Go find something, or you can wait for us in the car!"
"We are just doing yin, we are born to be exposed to these things, otherwise it will be abnormal."
The landlord hurriedly shook his head, "I'd better go with you, one person is more afraid, with the two of you here, at least you will help you when something happens!" ”
This is not the time to pretend to be forced, especially after watching the strange scene with his own eyes, and the landlord really doesn't have the courage to stay alone.
Although it is not far from the city, when the city developed, it seemed that it had been avoiding this place and did not develop in this way.
In the old days, the poor, the homeless, the beggars, etc., when they died, had nowhere to bury them, and they were just thrown here. Some waited until there was a grave mound, while others wrapped them in straw mats and threw them away.
In the past, there were dry bones everywhere on the graves.
Later, some of the dry bones were weathered, and some of them were all fooled together and bought into a big pit.
Later, life was better, and it was no longer allowed to bury people here, and the number of dead people was not as good as before, but in the area of mass graves, in the surrounding hearts, the level of terror has always been high, close to the forbidden area.
This place is very cloudy, and no one comes during the day, let alone at night.
Especially in summer, in addition to fireflies, there are more faint ghost fires, and the whole tomb is blue and secluded, like hell on earth.
Even if they usually drive down the mountain, no one dares to take a second look here.
