Chapter Eighty-Three: Hades Village

"Uncle Shi, this is the underworld village you said?" Wan Shuzi and Ma Lin left the inn and walked for more than two hours on the mountain road, stopping outside a small mountain village where the atmosphere was not quite right.

"Well, Uncle Shi was entrusted by someone, and the person he was looking for should be in this underworld village." Wan Shuzi nodded, and wiped the sweat casually with his sleeve.

Ma Lin followed next to Wan Shuzi, and said without a match: "Uncle Shi, you said that the family is really big-hearted, and in these chaotic years, I really rest assured, let a girl's family run around outside." ”

Wan Shuzi sighed: "Master Miao has no choice, Miao Xiaofeng is the only daughter in the family, and she wants to marry the one who is a soldier." But the soldier's life was really bad, and he disappeared without a trace when he first went to the battlefield. Miao Xiaofeng is stubborn, so he has to ask this underworld village to see where the soldier fell to the ground. If the soldier's body dies, he will marry the soldier for himself with a paper figure here, and only then will he have his wish. ”

"This Miao Xiaofeng is really infatuated, and it's a pity that the soldier is a good marriage." Ma Lin felt a little sorry for these two people.

"Who's to say it's not, it's not those warlords who are making trouble!" Wan Shuzi didn't turn his head, but replied inadvertently.

"Uncle Shi, do you think this secret marriage can really bring two people together?" Ma Lin tilted his head and looked at Wan Shuzi.

Wan Shuzi Xu noticed Ma Lin's gaze, turned his head, and asked very usually: "You have been the first horse for so long, haven't you ever presided over the secret marriage ceremony for someone." I've heard that you're going to have a bad marriage here. ”

Ma Lin shook his head a little dazedly: "Uncle Shi, I won't tell you, it's less than a year since I became the first horse." And I haven't seen much for people for nearly a year, and I've been running around catching ghosts and subduing demons. ”

Unexpectedly, Wan Shuzi glanced at Ma Lin with a very approving look, and said with appreciation: "We cultivators should walk the heavens to descend the Demon Guardian Dao, those who see things or something, it is better to do less, so as not to lose Yangshou." ”

Ma Lin couldn't answer this, so he had to be silent.

Wan Shuzi Xu also knew the strangeness in this sentence, and he no longer carried out this topic, and quickly diverted it: "If you want to say that this Miao Xiaofeng also has a lot of ideas, and she also knows that she will marry the soldier for herself." ”

Ma Lin pursed his lips and muttered, "Isn't this just a fool!" ”

Wan Shuzi replied very positively this time: "This is really a lot of fools, there is a profession in the Northeast called Yin Master, which is dedicated to helping people complete this kind of substitute marriage." They usually take a little personal thing from the body of the deceased, make a contract with the deceased in the underworld, temporarily replace it with a paper person, and wait for the death of the deceased to go down and marry the deceased. ”

"So, there is such a Yin Walker in this Underworld Village?" Ma Lin asked casually.

Wan Shuzi nodded: "According to Master Miao, there is indeed a Yin Walker in this village. But whether it's true or not, I don't know, after all, there are cheaters all over the place now. ”

Ma Lin heard the meaning of Wan Shuzi's words, and knew that Wan Shuzi didn't trust the Yin Walker in this village very much.

Since the two of them didn't trust the Yin Walker very much, they didn't say much at the moment, and walked silently towards the underworld village with their heads down.

As soon as Ma Lin and the others entered the Hades Village, they found that this village was completely different from the village outside. Usually, the farm yard is either to raise some chickens and ducks, or to pile up some grain and grains. And in the courtyards here, Ma Lin only took a casual look, and found that these yards were piled up with dead people's supplies such as gold mountains and silver bridges, paper figures and horses.

Especially in some people's homes, the courtyard is full of high and low underworlds, Ma Lin has an illusion, as if the wilderness and mountains outside the village are fake, and this place is more like an underground world, separated from the outside world by yin and yang.

The arrival of Ma Lin and the others naturally attracted the attention of the people in the village, especially Wan Shuzi dressed as a Taoist priest, which is rare in the northeast region.

Ma Lin swept through the villagers, but was surprised to find that almost all of them were disabled, and most of them were lame.

Ma Lin was a little unsure of the number of roads in this village, and his eyes unconsciously drifted to Wan Shuzi.

Wan Shuzi seemed to be aware of it, gave Ma Lin a reassuring look, and explained in a low voice: "I heard Master Miao say that because every family in this village is engaged in the trade of the dead, there are almost no girls from outside the village who marry in." Then these villagers have no choice but to marry each other, come and go, after a few generations, almost everyone has a relationship, so that after marriage, the chance of disability of the offspring is particularly great! ”

Ma Lin nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Shi, will the marriage between this relative still cause the offspring to be disabled?" ”

Wan Shuzi nodded and didn't explain more.

After a while, an aunt who seemed to be more enthusiastic stepped forward and greeted the two with a smile on her face: "I don't know if you two came to our village to find someone, or to buy something?" ”

Ma Lin and Wan Shuzi glanced at each other, Wan Shuzi stroked his beard lightly, and said lightly: "This layman, we are here to find a girl." I wonder if the layman can help? ”

The aunt obviously misunderstood what Wan Shuzi meant, and the smile on her face was even more overflowing at the moment, and she said continuously: "I can help, I can help!" My aunt is the most capable yin walker in this village, as long as people live in the world, no matter where they are, my aunt can find them. Even if she is not in this world, as long as the soul is not gone, my aunt can call me up to meet the living! ”

As soon as they heard this, Wan Shuzi and Ma Lin glanced at each other again, and they both saw a little surprise in each other's eyes. If this Yin Walker can really do so many things, then his ability will be great.

Ma Lin is a junior, so he doesn't talk much. Wan Shuzi pondered for a moment, and politely slapped his hand: "We want to ask your aunt to help us find someone, and bother the layman to lead the way." ”

The eldest aunt hurriedly agreed, and warmly beckoned Ma Lin and the others to go to the village, and said as she walked: "You came to find my aunt really found the right one, my aunt is stunned for the inheritance of the Yin Master, she has never married in her life, you think about it, how high my aunt's mana is now." ”

Wan Shuzi is not very good at talking to this kind of talkative peasant woman, so she knows how to nod. As soon as Ma Lin saw the situation, he took the initiative to take the aunt's words: "Auntie, I see that there are many disabled people in your village!" ”

When the aunt heard this, her footsteps paused slightly, and her face became a little unnatural, but after a short time, she returned to normal and continued to lead the way in front. It's just that there is a little sadness in his voice: "Hey, who said no, there are fewer and fewer children born in the village now, and even if they are born, they are basically disabled, which is really sad!" ”

With a little sympathy on his face, Ma Lin nodded, echoed, and continued: "Auntie, have you ever thought about not doing the business of the underworld, doing something else, and making a living? ”

The aunt sighed: "If we don't do the underworld, what else can we do, what can we do, what can be changed by more than ten generations!" ”

Ma Lin opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but Wan Shuzi directly gave a look of expression, stopping Ma Lin's desire to continue talking.

The aunt led the way in front of her and walked quickly, and after a while, she came to an earthen walled courtyard in the south of the village.

Ma Lin looked through the wooden fence gate, and saw that it was still a courtyard full of underworlds. But what is worthy of praise is that this underworld is more realistic than other people's underworld.

The aunt didn't knock on the door, she pushed the door open directly, and beckoned Ma Lin and the others to come in with her while walking inside, obviously very familiar with this place.

The door of the house was not closed, and the aunt took Ma Lin and the two directly into the east room, there was only an old woman in her seventies in the house, her face was full of wrinkles, and her eyes were very yellow, and it was a question of whether she could see things.

As soon as the eldest aunt entered the house, Xu knew that her aunt's eyes were not good, so she shouted loudly: "Auntie, I will bring you two people to watch things!" ”

The old woman didn't get off the kang, she sat cross-legged on the edge of the kang, and opened her mouth with few teeth: "Hurry up on the kang, hurry up on the kang." Sophie, go get some water for someone and brush the bowl well! ”

Ma Lin and the others humbled for a moment and sat down for a while. Wan Shuzi just got to the point, Wan Shuzi stroked his beard, slapped his hand, and said politely: "This old layman, I came to know the whereabouts of a girl." ”

The old woman heard Wan Shuzi say that she was looking for a girl, and her face did not change, and she thought that she had seen this kind of thing a lot in the past few decades. The old woman nodded, and instructed the aunt to bring a piece of yellow paper and a piece of carbon strip from the cabinet.

The aunt got up and took all the things and put them beside Wan Shuzi.

The old woman continued: "Please write down the name and birth date of the girl you are looking for, if you can have some girl's personal things, it is fine, it is a little more trouble." ”

Wan Shuzi nodded, took a charcoal brush and wrote a few lines, then took out a bag in his arms, and took out a strand of hair in the bag and put it on the yellow paper.
