"I went out to do some personal business in the afternoon," I said to Huang Tao with a smile.

"Second brother, did you go on a date with a beautiful woman in the afternoon, and you still had a face in the morning, but you are smiling now, there must be a situation" You Zhipei walked up to me with a cheap look and asked.

"I also agree with the fourth brother, second brother, you don't hide it with our brothers, you just say who this girl is, which department and which class" Zeng Lu walked up to me and asked me, Huang Tao looked at me with a puzzled face, he also thought I had a situation.

"You guys really want to be crooked, I really didn't go on a date, if you don't believe me, forget it" I was a little lazy to explain to them, because the more I explained to them, the more unclear the explanation, and I knew them too well.

"Paper can't contain the fire, sooner or later it will be revealed" After Zeng Lu finished saying this, the three brothers in the bedroom raised their middle fingers at me together.

The life in our dormitory can be said to be very monotonous, Zeng Lu and You Zhipei returned to the dormitory every day after eating and the first thing was to turn on the computer to play League of Legends, they completely left their girlfriends aside, women once said that in the world of men, the status of their girlfriends is not as important as a character in the game. Huang Tao occasionally plays games with Zeng Lu and You Zhipei, and the rest of the time is either chatting with his girlfriend, or speculating in stocks, for Huang Tao, it can be said in one sentence, that is, "dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the son of mice will make holes", although the world's stock markets are plummeting this year, but Huang Tao still makes a lot of money, he is not the kind of boy who will only reach out to his parents to ask for money, and almost all the money he spends is earned by his own stock speculation.

I sat on the bed bored and read the novel, I read it for less than ten minutes, and a message came from WeChat, and I opened it to see that it was sent by Shen Yue.

"Hello Senior Brother Liu Shou, what are you doing" The message was followed by a naughty little expression sticking out his tongue.

"I'm reading a novel," I sent back.

"What novel are you reading, is it good?" Not long after I sent it, Shen Yue sent the message again.

""I was a Taoist priest in the Republic of China" is well written, I think it's very good," I replied.

"It's just boring, I'll go take a look, you're busy, Senior Brother Liu" After reading Shen Yue's news, I continued to read the novel again, and I didn't fall asleep until more than twelve o'clock in the evening.

I and the female ghost Xia Wanting these days have been pressing me a little breathless, today with her to explain the matter, my panicked heart has also completely put down, through the understanding of Xia Wanting, I feel that ghosts are not as terrible as imagined, although we are people from two worlds, but they used to be human beings like me.

At about half past five in the morning, I woke up, I first went to take a shower, then changed into clean clothes and walked out of the dormitory, before leaving, I sent a WeChat message to Huang Tao, asking him to help me ask for a day off from the teacher. Because yesterday Jiang Lao told me that I should take a shower in the morning and come to his hall before seven o'clock.

When I took a taxi to the alley of No. 88 Shanshang Street, I went to the alley and parked more than a dozen trucks, some of which were loaded with coffins, some of which were holding paper ties, and some of which were drawing circles.

When I came here yesterday afternoon, I was still thinking about it, the shops in Alley 88 have not had any business all day, why are they still open! Unexpectedly, they had a lot of customers in the morning and almost no business in the afternoon.

I walked past these busy people and walked towards the hall, when I walked to the door of the hall, the hall had not yet opened, I took out my mobile phone and looked at the time, it was only half past six, I was half an hour early, so I stood at the door of the hall and waited for the old Jiang to open the door.

I leaned on the door of a hall and looked at the busy people in front of me, I found that there was a middle-aged man in gray clothes who was a little weird, he would take a deep breath every time he walked to a person's side, and the face of the person who was sucked by him instantly turned pale, and I also found that the middle-aged man in gray had no shadow under his feet, this moment reminded me of ghosts, the novel wrote that ghosts have no shadows, and I couldn't help but be scared into a cold sweat.

At the same time as I looked at him, he also noticed me, he first grinned at me, and then slowly floated towards me, yes, floating, his heels were about ten centimeters high from the ground, and the tips of his feet were about two centimeters from the ground, and I was a little panicked at the moment, and I secretly cursed in my heart that I was so indebted, and I had nothing to look at.

When the man in gray floated to a distance of five meters from me, the door of the hall was opened by Jiang Lao, he pulled me in by the arm with his hand, I stood in the main hall of the hall and looked out of the door, I saw the man in gray standing at the door of the hall and looking at me, at the same time his face showed an evil smile, looking at his smile made me goosebumps all over my body, after about three minutes or so, the man in gray left, he pointed at me with his finger, I don't know what he meant.

"In the future, control your eyes, don't look at what you shouldn't see, so as not to get yourself into trouble," Jiang Lao reminded me from behind me.

"He ......"

"That's right, he's a ghost," Jiang Lao said to me, lighting a cigarette and putting it to his mouth.

"Jiang Lao, I have something I want to ask you, the book says that ghosts appear at night, why do I see ghosts during the day" I asked Jiang Lao with a puzzled face.

"Actually, most of the ghosts appear at night, and very few ghosts will appear during the day, the ghost you saw just now is an outlier, as for the female ghost in red yesterday, she will appear during the day because she absorbed the yang energy on your body, and only you can see it, because you are married to her, there is a relationship between you that is cut and unorganized" Jiang Lao explained to me, and I couldn't understand what he was saying at all.

"Then is there any way you can break the secret marriage between the two of us," I asked Jiang Lao seriously.

"Don't think about this, there is no solution to yin and yang marriage," Jiang Lao shook his head and said to me.

"Jiang Lao, aren't I married to that female ghost? Why is it related to yin-yang marriage again, what does this yin-yang marriage mean" I asked Jiang Lao in confusion.

"There are two kinds of underworld marriages, the first is called yin marriage, yin marriage is to let two dead people get together in the underworld marriage, yin marriage is not very common in our northeast, generally appears in the south, some unmarried men die in the family, their families will spend money to hire those who steal the body to steal the body of the unmarried deceased girl to match the yin marriage. The old people believe that if they do not marry them, their ghosts will make the house uneasy. Therefore, we must hold a secret marriage ceremony for them (her), and finally bury them (her) together, become husband and wife, and bury them together" Jiang Lao was interrupted by me when he said this.

"Isn't it a bit too immoral for them to do this," I said to Jiang Lao with an angry face.

"Not only is it a lack of morality, it is simply a loss of reason, the dead should be buried in the ground, they do this is against morality and ethics, they will be punished" Jiang Lao also looked extremely angry, this point is the same concept of the two of us.

"What about the yin and yang marriage," I continued to ask Jiang Lao.

"What you signed with the female ghost in red is a yin-yang marriage, the living marry the dead or the living marry the dead is the yin-yang marriage, in our era the yin-yang marriage is still rare, the custom of yin-yang marriage was more common in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, if the children of the big landlords and bureaucrats died early, they would spend money to buy boys or girls from poor people's families to match the yin-yang marriage, alas" Jiang Lao sighed a sigh of anger after explaining to me, and after listening to Jiang Lao's words, I also have a certain understanding of this dark marriage.

"It stands to reason that in fact, matching yin and yang marriage will not affect you too much, but the female ghost in red committed suicide with resentment before her death, so her own resentment is very heavy, and because the two of you have established a husband and wife relationship, even if she doesn't want to harm you, the yang energy on your body will be involuntarily sucked away by her, until the yang energy on your body is sucked dry by her, and the two of you will no longer need yin and yang to be separated but together forever" When Jiang Lao said this, I felt a tingling in my scalp and chills all over my body.

"Jiang Lao, then you should quickly accept me as an apprentice, I don't want to die so early, I haven't married a wife and had children" I said to Jiang Lao with an ugly face, in fact, I am an ordinary person, I am also afraid of death, although we have no relatives, but I am still a little reluctant to this wonderful world, there are many beautiful places I have not been to, Tibet, Sanya, Dali are all places I dream to go to, if I die like this, I will regret it for the rest of my life.

"Have you really figured it out? Once you worship me as a teacher and enter our Taoist sect, it will be a matter of a lifetime, and it is too late for you to regret it now," Jiang Lao squinted his eyes and said to me cautiously.

"I've figured it out now, there's nothing better than being alive, and I don't regret it," I replied with a nod.

"In that case, then let's start immediately, you sit on the chair and wait" Jiang Lao said to me, and I nodded to Jiang Lao, my mood at this time is no sadness or joy.

After Jiang Lao finished speaking to me, he began to get busy, he first went back upstairs and wore a yellow robe and walked down, the front and back of this yellow robe are printed with gossip patterns, the two sleeves of the robe are embroidered with two lifelike five-clawed golden dragons, the golden dragon's mouth shouts a glittering orb, Jiang Lao is wearing a black mixed yuan hat on his head, he is holding a peachwood sword in his left hand, and a blue cloth bag in his right hand, and he doesn't know what is contained in it.
