Chapter Twenty-Nine: One Death and One Life

When I heard the word 'yin marriage' and looked at the dark mountains and forests, I suddenly felt a chill welling up in my heart.

Yin marriage, commonly known as underworld marriage, also known as ghost marriage, etc. As the name suggests, it was believed that a lonely tomb in the ancestral tomb would affect the prosperity of future generations and was unlucky, so it was necessary to hold a yin marriage for the deceased. This means that if the deceased did not have a spouse before death, he should find a body of the opposite sex to be buried with him after death.

There is indeed such a real example in reality, on May 22, 2011, the late South Korean stars Jung Do-bin and Moon Jae-sung held a yin wedding.

"Hidden marriage? The people in this village are still trendy enough, and they still know about hidden marriages, and they will have a flash marriage next time. "The hammer was like a fool on the side, and I didn't know if I really didn't understand it, or if I didn't understand it.

"It's not a hidden marriage, it's a yin marriage." I corrected.

"Yin marriage?! Is that the kind of yin marriage that is always said on the news to find a living person to marry the dead?! Hammer's face changed dramatically after hearing this, and he looked at me and asked loudly.

I nodded: "Yes, it's this kind of yin marriage." ”

"Damn, what the hell is that fucking kid in peace? In the middle of the night, let's go see the dead get married?! "The hammer almost didn't jump on the spot.

"This yin marriage existed before the Han Dynasty. Because yin marriage consumes manpower and material resources in society and is meaningless, it has been banned. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao's favorite son Cao Chong died at the age of thirteen, so Cao Cao hired the deceased Miss Zhen as Cao Chong's wife and buried them together. In the Song Dynasty, yin marriage was most prevalent. When an unmarried man or woman dies, their parents must ask a "ghost matchmaker" to say goodbye, and then carry out divination, and after receiving the permission to marry, they will each make a dark garment for the ghost and hold a marriage sacrifice. "Linglong told me and Hammer in detail about the history of this yin marriage.

"Isn't it illegal to marry now? How can anyone still do it? Hammer asked, looking at Linglong.

Linglong gently brushed the tips of her falling hair with her hand, revealing the red eyeballs, looked at the hammer and whispered:

"This drug trafficking and drug use are also illegal, have you ever stopped?"

Linglong is indeed right, in this society, there will always be a part of people who sell their conscience and soul for their own interests.

When I saw Linglong's red eyeballs again, I suddenly remembered what the man said to Linglong before: 'Eyes, interesting. ’

Could it be that this delicate blood-red right eye is the 'eye' he said?

What is the use of these eyes, will it bring any disaster to Linglong, and she seems to have changed as a person that day, and almost strangled me to death, is it because of this eye?

I was thinking about it in my heart, when the hammer on the side looked at me and Linglong and asked:

"I ...... I said two, so why don't we go to the village behind now? I haven't gone yet, and when I think about a living person marrying a dead person, I panic in my heart. ”

I pondered for a while and said, "Hammer, why don't you drive back by yourself first, and I'll go over with Linglong." "After all, this matter has nothing to do with the hammer, and it is only a matter of benevolence that he can help me get here now, and I don't want to continue to trouble him, so let him take this risk with me and Linglong.

When the hammer heard my words, he spat me and said:

"I said Lao Qin, what do you mean by that? Think I'm following you two and dragging you two back? ”

"Hammer, I didn't mean that, I just didn't want you to continue the adventure with us." I explained.

"Lao Qin, how long have we known each other? Twenty years, right? I'm the kind of person who has trouble with friends and turns a blind eye?! Where you go tonight, I will follow you there, and I will also lay down my life to accompany the gentleman. Hammer's words were as impassioned as the pledge meeting before the war......

"Forget it, you're the only one in your family, something is really going to happen tonight, how can I explain to your family, you listen to me and go back first." I persuaded.

The hammer shook his head like a rattle, and then said to me:

"Lao Qin, I'll follow you tonight, and I won't leave what you say. I still want to see how the yin marriage came to be today. ”

"You don't have to go to work tomorrow?" I asked, looking at the hammer.

"You're like this, can I, as a brother, still have the heart to go to work? In a word, do you treat me as a brother? Will you let me go with you? Hammer looked at me and asked earnestly.

I let out a long breath and looked at him and nodded:

"But you have to promise me a request, and if anything happens, you leave immediately."

"Okay, promise you." Hammer walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder.

The three of us walked together towards a path behind the temple, which was already difficult to navigate, and it was night, and the tall and lush trees completely blocked the moonlight.

The whole path was gloomy and dark, and it was accompanied by a strange sound of insects, which made me feel a chill in my heart as I walked on this path, and I always felt as if something was following behind.

Fortunately, there is mobile phone lighting, but there are stumbling along the way.

The three of us slowly quickened our pace along this path, I had been worried in my heart, now that it was completely dark, if Cai Wei sent another ghost, there would be no one to help us tonight, and the three of us would definitely be in trouble.

Apparently my worries were completely unnecessary, until the three of us saw the lights flashing in front of us at the same time, and there were no accidents on the road.

When we got closer, we found that this is a very backward village, although it is electrified, but the village is not very large, and I roughly estimate that it will never exceed 50 households.

Moreover, the village is extremely inaccessible, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only road leading to the outside of this village is the winding path that the three of us just walked.

Although the village is not large, but now, every house has its lights on, and when we look out the window, we find that there is no one in the house.

The whole village was eerily quiet, there were no voices, no dogs barking, not even a single insect chirp here.

Arriving in this village, which is full of weirdness everywhere, we three newcomers can't help but feel palpitations in our hearts.

"I ...... I said Lao Qin, is there anyone in my village? ”

I don't know how to answer Hammer's words, and if there is no one in this village, how can I explain the lights on in this house? If there is someone in this village, where has this person gone?

Just as we were about to go into the village again, suddenly there was a mysterious singing voice from the village, not as if it were coming from the mouth of one person, but as if it were being sung by dozens of people.

I couldn't understand a word of the singing, and the voice was dull and dead.

If you listen closely, the song is in the middle of this village, not far from the three of us.

Standing where we were, the three of us looked at each other, made a gesture, and walked briskly towards the middle of the village.

As the three of us approached, the dull and deadly singing became clearer and clearer.

"Lao Qin, this village is too weird, I think we should also prepare weapons in case of accidents." Hammer then walked up to me and handed me a brick.

I took the brick and continued to approach with the hammer and Linglong in the direction from which the song had come.

……

Walking to the middle of the village, it surprised all three of us, because there were no longer any dwelling houses in the middle of the village, but a large open space like a square.

In the open space of this square, a bonfire was lit in the middle, and dozens of people stood densely around it, all looking towards a wooden stake in the middle of the square.

And under that stake, there were two people standing.

A man and a woman, the woman wears a red wedding dress, and the man wears a black shroud!

At this time, a man wearing a sheep's head mask was dancing around the newlyweds, who were dying in their lives, and they were still singing.

The surrounding villagers also sang along with the masked man, and the whole scene was extremely terrifying and terrifying.

The three of us and Linglong Hammer hid in the shadows, and we clearly saw that the woman in the red wedding dress standing in the middle was shivering!
