The old man was so angry that he jumped up from his chair and knocked me, scolding, "! ! The female ghost complains that the baby knows your name and birthdate, where can you go? Their mothers and sons will not give up until they take your life. ”

"The person who is seriously mourned, the resentment is the heaviest, she is no longer an ordinary yin spirit, especially the ghost baby, if it absorbs all the resentment in the mother's body and becomes a resentful baby, the nearby villagers are estimated to suffer." The old man sighed and muttered to himself.

"So serious?"

"Nonsense, when the female ghost kills you, the ghost baby will absorb the female ghost again, and it will definitely become a big disaster. I didn't expect that the person surnamed Sun would dare to do such a hurtful thing. ”

"It's not that you are greedy for money, if they hadn't buried the female corpse here, so many things wouldn't have happened." I was dissatisfied.

"The matter has come to this, the woman has become a terrible ghost, and I can't protect you with my skills!"

"Don't! Old man, didn't you call me back just to send me to death? I said urgently.

"You are destined to have such a catastrophe, I calculated before, I wanted to call you back to avoid it, but I didn't expect it to happen here."

The old man looked at me and said, "Although I am not capable of protecting you, there is still one person here who can save your life." If she comes forward, don't say that she is just a ghost and a baby, even if black and white impermanence comes, you have to weigh it. ”

I was surprised: "There are still such powerful people in this ghost place?" How come I haven't heard of it before? Who is he? ”

"There's a lot you haven't heard of?"

The old man snorted: "There are many evils in the mountains, in addition to having extraordinary skills, a qualified mountain keeper also needs a backer, otherwise how can he deal with those ghosts and ghosts?" And the backer I'm talking about is the legendary mountain god! ”

I felt a little fantastical, touched my nose and asked, "Old man, don't fool me, is there really a mountain god in this world?" ”

"Of course, haven't you seen her, the woman in red standing outside the door before!" The old man said lightly.

"That pretty woman, she's a mountain god?"

I opened my mouth wide and almost blurted out the phrase "it", my face full of shock and incredulity.

"Hehe, don't be surprised, boy, I asked you to come back for refuge, there is another thing. Now that it's dawn, you pack up your meter and go up the mountain with me. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Worship the mountain god, if you want people to shelter, you must have something to say. Otherwise, for no reason, will people help you? ”

"Is it okay not to go?" I resisted, mainly because I felt like I was being tricked by the old man.

"Yes!" The old man nodded, and then took out a mirror from under the bamboo chair as if he was playing a trick and said, "Take care of it, like you now, it is estimated that you will not live for more than three days, and if you want to live, you must go!" ”

I took the mirror in the old man's hand and looked at it, and my face suddenly changed, and I saw that my face was covered with a gray aura visible to the naked eye, and my eyes were blank, as if I had aged several years.

"How so?" I touched my face and couldn't believe it.

"This is a grudge, even if the female ghost complains that the baby doesn't come to you, I'm afraid you won't live for seven days, do you still want to worship the mountain god Niangniang?"

"Go! Go! Go! Of course, old man, let's go now! I panicked.

"Don't worry, you go and change into decent clothes first, go to worship the mountain god Niangniang, you should always dress up decently." The old man took a puff of dry tobacco and said unhurriedly.

I put on one of the most expensive clothes I had ever bought, and went up the mountain with the old man with the offering.

There are nine peaks in Paradise Mountain, each with a different scenery, and the old man has climbed over several mountains, and the spruce trees in front of him are no longer straight and towering, but a vast bamboo forest.

The green bamboo forest is the name of this place, and the two walked through the dense bamboo forest to a relatively gentle clearing. Ahead is a steep stone cliff with a clear waterhole next to it. Ding Dong flowing water, warblers singing and birds, it is really like a paradise scenery, not like fireworks in the world.

There is a deep hole at the bottom of the stone cliff, and there is a round stone platform outside the cave, on which a simple incense burner is placed, and there is nothing else.

The old man stood beside the waterhole and urged me to come forward and worship the mountain god Niangniang.

According to the rules told me by the old man, I will light incense and bow down first. I lit four incense, I don't know what the reason is, usually worship the gods and ancestors are three incense and one stick, but when worshipping the mountain god Niangniang, the old man let me light four.

Burning incense to worship the gods is most afraid that the incense will be burned for different lengths or will be extinguished in the middle of the process, so the worshippers must be sincere.

After the worship, I took the sacrificial text prepared by the old man and read it: "The hooligans, hold the cloth trade silk, the bandits come to trade the silk, and I will seek it." Send the son to play chess, as for Dunqiu, I will extend the period, and the son has no good matchmaker......"

When I read this, my face changed, and I turned my head to look at the old man and said, "This is not a sacrificial text, it is obviously a marriage proposal, I have read the sage book for ten years, don't want to lie to me." What the hell do you want to do, old man? Don't you want me to propose to the mountain god Niangniang? ”

The old man explained: "Our mountain god Niangniang is not an ordinary mountain god, in fact, the real mountain god disappeared five hundred years ago, she is a temporary replacement, and her identity is not ordinary. ”

He paused, and then said, "Five hundred years ago, Niang Niang led eighteen local mountain gods, plus three of the top masters of the Dao Sect, to fight the two-headed evil dragon on the top of Heavenly Mountain. The battle was torn apart, and the sun and the moon were eclipsed. There were eighteen peaks in Heavenly Mountain, and only nine remained. And the eighteen mountain gods and the three Daomen masters also fell, and Niangniang also disappeared. But her strength was strong, and a trace of the primordial god was retained, and she stayed in Heavenly Mountain from then on, replacing the duties of the eighteen mountain gods. ”

I felt like the old man was telling a myth, because I had never heard of it before, and I asked the old man, "What does this have to do with me marrying her?" ”

"What kind of existence is the mountain god Niangniang, how can you let her protect you as a first-order mortal? If you want her to shelter, you need a relationship with Lala. And the mountain god Niangniang has been lonely on the Heavenly Mountain for 500 years, and what she lacks most is someone who can accompany her, so only if you marry her, she will help you after she becomes your wife. ”

"But, this ...... I'm not ready yet. I panicked.

"Life is on the line, what psychological preparation do you need? Think about it yourself, I won't force you, old man, and besides, just like you, other people's mothers may not be able to see it. ”

"Fart!"

I was so excited by the old man that I was angry and angry, and I read it aloud with the marriage proposal.

But halfway through the reading, a cold wind suddenly blew out in the dark and deep cave, and the incense in the incense burner was blown out at once......

I shivered, looked at the incense extinguished in the furnace, and then looked at the old man and asked, "What's going on?" How did the incense go out? ”

"It must be that your kid is not sincere enough, or there is something in his heart that he can't let go, try again!"

I was stunned and immediately ripped off the jade pendant I was wearing around my neck.

The past is like smoke, although she has long been separated from me, but every time in the dead of night, looking at the pendant hanging around her neck, her heart is still bitter.

Now I can't even save my life, what's the use of waiting for that person to change his mind, everything is just wishful thinking.

I sighed and threw the pendant into the pool, as if I were throwing away a large stone that weighed on my heart, without a trace of distraction.

I lit a stick of incense again and recited the sacrificial text, and this time it went well. The incense was not extinguished until the recitation was finished.

"Let's go!" When I burned the memorial letter, the old man beckoned me to go back.

"That's it?"

"Well, the mountain god lady has accepted your marriage letter, and it is time to prepare for the marriage of the two of you."

On the way back, the old man told me that in fact, the mountain god Niangniang is not a god, she has no god position, and my marriage to her is considered a yin and yang match.

Actually, the mountain god Niangniang is a ghost, but she is not an ordinary ghost. When I marry her, I don't need to get her bones back, I just need to put up a tablet for her.

But I don't know her real name yet, and I don't know what is written on the cards.

The old man said there was no need to rush it, and that when we had our wedding, she would write her name herself.

The old man was very concerned about this matter, and prepared for my wedding the next day.

He called first and asked the lame old seven at the foot of the mountain to go to the paper shop to buy red paper, red cloth, famous candles, dark fires, etc., and there were a lot of them.

Then he cleared out the utility room and prepared a wedding room for me.

At first, I didn't have anything, but seeing that the old man was busy and meticulous, my heart gradually became nervous.

Especially when I saw the piles of red paper candles, my mood was even more up and down, I didn't expect that I would get married like this, and the object of marriage was not a person.

To be honest, I have a grudge against who the other person is, and I am afraid that this will happen to anyone, and it is really too far from the marriage I expected when I was younger.

"Xiaoyan, getting married is not a trivial matter, do you want to go back and inform your parents and let them come up the mountain?" The old man sat in the courtyard and asked me while tying paper.

"How so? Do you want me to tell them that your good son is going to marry the mountain god Niangniang, and it is impossible to pass on the lineage to them in this life? ”

"Whatever you want, you just have to admit it yourself anyway. However, grandpa told you that you married the mountain god Niangniang, you must treat her well in the future, no matter what you become in the future, you can only have one wife. The old man spoke very solemnly and seriously.

"Could it be that I can still take a concubine in the future?" I asked him.

"Hahaha, the idea is good, if you don't think it's long, you can try it."

I sighed, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have joys and sorrows. The old man didn't know why, he insisted that I marry the mountain god Niangniang, I knew that he would never harm me by doing this, but I always felt uncomfortable in this matter.

But thinking about the beautiful face of the mountain god Niangniang at the door that day, my heart suddenly felt a lot better, fortunately, she was not the kind of scary looking.

Otherwise, I will have to turn my face with the old man if I am killed.

But I'm human, she's a yin spirit body, I don't know if I can do that......
