After the Taoist Hat took me and the fat man back to the Han Clan's Daoist Hall, it didn't take long for a customer to come to the door, and the customer asked the Taoist Hat to help him, and then he told him about himself. It turned out to be a female ghost who had been pestering him, and even said that he was already the customer named Li Yuejin.

After listening to Li Yuejin's words, the Taoist hat thought for a while and then said to Li Yuejin that the female ghost turned out to be Li Yuejin's ghost daughter-in-law.

"Mr. Han, do you mean that the female ghost married me? But how could I not know about this, so you just say that someone is harming me? Li Yuejin asked the Taoist priest with a puzzled expression, with a hint of fear on his face.

When I heard Li Yuejin's words, I also felt surprised, I had heard about the marriage before, but I had never encountered it, but I didn't expect it to happen like this, what surprised me even more was that Li Yuejin had not known about this before.

Marriage is also a secret marriage, and there has been such a thing as a secret marriage since ancient times. In the old days, people were generally superstitious about the so-called "feng shui" of the cemetery, believing that the appearance of a lonely grave would affect the prosperity of the descendants of the family. At that time, in order to earn more money, some "feng shui masters" also tried their best to encourage this kind of secret marriage.

Secret marriages mostly occur in nobles or wealthy families, and poor families never engage in such activities. Some young boys and girls died for some reason after they got married. At that time, the old people believed that if they were not married, their ghosts would play a role and disturb the home.

Therefore, it is necessary to hold a funeral marriage ceremony for them, and finally bury them together, become husband and wife, and bury them together. lest there be a lonely grave in the fields of the men and women. There are also young boys and girls who die before they are engaged, and the old people, out of love and missing their children, think that they have not been able to choose a mate for them before they are alive, and they must marry them after death, and fulfill their responsibilities as parents.

Secret marriages have existed since ancient times, and people have held secret marriages in all dynasties, and this kind of secret marriage also has special ceremonies. There are individual families who hold "happy events" for the marriage of the dead and the dead, which is called "building a bone corpse", and the male and female in-laws are called "bone corpse relatives".

In ancient times, this kind of "wedding" wedding ceremony is generally held at night, sometimes, people are sleeping peacefully, suddenly woken up by the drum music in the streets, do not need to look at it to know that this is a "bone corpse", often encounter such things will take the initiative to avoid, after all, encountering such things is also considered bad luck. This kind of underworld marriage is often carried with a paper sedan chair, which is preceded by a single drum, a single trumpet, and a single suona. Some do not use this form, but still use eight sedan chairs, and all the deacons are golden lamps.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the camera was brought to China by Westerners, and when they had a photo, they only married a photo of a woman. After the thirties, there was also a "civilized marriage" ceremony, with a Western band in the lead, and four people in the back carried a funeral booth, hanging a "bride" photo.

In addition to the marriage between the dead, there is also a marriage between the dead and the living, but this kind of marriage is not a casual match, the birth date of both men and women must match, and because the marriage is a red and white marriage, the living marriage is prone to disasters, this kind of thing must be known and agreed by both parties.

But Li Yuejin didn't know anything about anyone marrying him, that is to say, Li Yuejin was mostly calculated, and the living and the dead were often entangled by the ghosts of the deceased.

Secret marriage is not a casual marriage, and the corresponding marriage ceremony is indispensable. On the same day, it is necessary to build a greenhouse, feast relatives and friends, and light the sedan chair in front of the door. The wedding room is dedicated to the "hundredth" gods. A low table is set up on the kang opposite for the "groom" photo or tablet, and several plates of apples and dragon and phoenix wedding cakes are set up in front. And there is a big red flower, decorated with a ribbon on the book: "groom" words.

The woman's "boudoir" is offered a photo or tablet of the "bride", as before, and there is a big red flower, decorated with a ribbon, and the words "bride" are written.

After the sedan chair arrives at the woman, the "bride" photo or tablet is taken down by the wife, and the wife takes it over and releases the sedan chair. After the sedan chair returns to the man, the wife still takes out the photo or tablet of the "bride" and puts it on the offering table on the kang of the wedding room, which is juxtaposed with the "groom". And tie up the two photos with a red head rope (take the meaning of the red line drawn by the old moon), and reuse the red and yellow colored silk.

Only when the wife of the marriage gives the whole god "100 percent" incense and kowtows, even if the husband and wife worship heaven and earth. Then the teahouse will bring "a cup of wine", "dumplings for children and grandchildren", and "longevity noodles" for the "newlyweds" in front of the photo or tablet.

If the "newlyweds" have younger siblings or younger siblings, brothers-in-law, etc., they will be called out and kowtow to the photo or tablet. The two in-laws congratulated each other.

After the above ceremonies are held, choose a good day for the "auspicious day of the zodiac" to break the ground and bury, and the woman can rise up. According to the time designated by Mr. Yin and Yang, after the coffin was lifted, he immediately poured a bucket of water in the pit and threw down two apples. At the same time, raise the red paper money high.

The man digs a hole on the side of the grave, exposes the groove of the "groom" coffin, buries the "bride" in this hole, and buries the "husband and wife" together.

After the burial, that is, in front of the grave, the wine and fruit are displayed, the red paper money is incinerated, and the marriage sacrifice is held. The fathers, mothers and other family members of both the man and the woman cried and said "great joy". In this way, the ceremony of the underworld marriage is over, and the man and woman are married. The ritual above is that the dead marry the dead.

If it is a marriage between the living and the dead, it should be simpler, the previous ceremony remains the same, but the photos of the living and the dead are held in the corresponding ceremony, and the ceremony of raising bones is not necessary, and the living person will take the photo of the deceased home after the previous wedding ceremony, and worship on the New Year's Day.

Wait until the living party dies, and then bury the bones of both parties to the underworld marriage together, so that the underworld marriage is also completed.

There must be something strange in this, the Taoist hat nodded at Li Yuejin's surprise and said: "That's right, according to what the female ghost said, you should have been married to a female ghost, but this female ghost should not have succeeded, so I will let my apprentice follow you to take a look, and you can also look for any photos of the female ghost at home." ”

Li Yuejin listened to the words of the Taoist Hat, and the expression on his face looked slightly better, but then he asked with a suspicious expression: "Mr. Han, the apprentice you are talking about should be the one next to you, is he so young, are you really sure that it can help me?" ”

I felt very helpless when I heard Li Yuejin's words, maybe it was because of Hong Kong zombie movies, so that modern people always feel that people who have the ability must be relatively old, and a young person like me will be considered hairless and not able to do things well, this kind of fixed thinking is very helpless, but basically everyone has this fixed thinking.

After hearing Li Yuejin's words, the Taoist hat said unhurriedly: "You can rest assured about this, my master has the ability, and the apprentice is naturally not bad, my apprentice can help you solve this matter, if you can't solve it, you can come to me again, the place is here, do you think I can still run?" ”

Li Yuejin thought about it for a while, and then said, "Okay, I'll take this little gentleman to see it first." However, I saw that there was still a trace of doubt in his eyes, and I could only smile bitterly on the side.

The Taoist hat nodded and turned to me and said, "Xiaoqiu, then you can follow this customer to take a look and help him solve this matter, I think you should know very well about the secret marriage!" The Taoist hat winked at me as he spoke, and I immediately nodded knowingly and said, "I know this matter well and should be able to solve it." ”

Then Li Yuejin walked outside, and I walked out with him. Li Yuejin talked to me about this matter as he walked, and I could also feel his fear of this matter from his tone, after all, no matter who was involved in this kind of secret marriage, he would feel afraid.

Li Yuejin had already told about this in the Han Clan's Dao Hall, but there was another detail he didn't say, that is, in these days, he actually felt that in addition to the female ghost staring at him, he also felt that there was another staring at him, and even saw red light coming from that place a few times.

It seems that this matter is not a simple secret marriage, but on the surface, it must be a dark marriage, as long as you follow this clue to investigate, you will always find out the situation behind the scenes, this thing is already more bizarre, it seems that things are even more bizarre.

Li Yuejin's village is not far from here, and it only takes about 20 minutes to walk, and soon Li Yuejin took me back home, Li Yuejin's home is a general red brick and tile structure, which looks very ordinary from the outside, and the situation inside is also very normal.

I looked carefully around the house, and I didn't feel any abnormal smell, thinking that the vicinity of the house should only have a ghost smell, and it was finally sunburned by the sun, it seems that this will have to wait until the evening to check.

Li Yuejin saw that I was looking around the house, probably thinking that I was a little reliable, so he asked, "This little gentleman, I don't know if you see anything?" I shook my head helplessly and said, "It seems that I can only wait until the evening to see it, you first look for any photos of the female ghost at home." ”

When Li Yuejin heard me say this, his eyelids drooped slightly, and his eyes dimmed a lot, but when he heard my words, he hurriedly rummaged through the cabinets at home to find it. After a while, a woman with a hoe came back from outside, saw me and asked me who I was.

Li Yuejin, who was rummaging, stopped what he was doing and introduced me, and the woman also looked at me with suspicion after knowing that I was a gentleman who came to help, but she didn't say anything, and after the introduction, I also knew that the woman in front of me was Li Yuejin's wife.

After introducing each other, Li Yuejin asked me to sit down first, and then he followed his wife to find photos at home.
