Secret marriage is to find a spouse for the deceased.

In ancient times, the old people believed that young boys and girls died or died before the engagement, and if they did not get married, their ghosts would make the family uneasy, and there were also old people who did not choose a mate for them before they died, and they had to complete the marriage for them after death, and fulfill their responsibilities as parents. In fact, this is the sustenance of human feelings.

In addition, in ancient times, people generally believed in the so-called cemetery feng shui, believing that the appearance of a lonely grave would affect the prosperity of the descendants of the family.

Of course, in ancient times, most of the secret marriages came from rich families, and poor families never engaged in this kind of activity, nor did they have that kind of capital.

Ning Yang saw the ancient village among the three mountains in the distance on this low slope, and frowned, but he didn't expect that this isolated Guxi Village still had the terrifying custom of secret marriage under feudal criticism, no wonder the black pillar was scared.

The sky darkened, and he turned around to see that the black pillar had disappeared into the woods uphill, and he also turned around and walked down the low slope, and now he couldn't see the four people, one fat and one thin, one old and one aunt, but from their direction, they entered this Guxi Village and walked over quickly.

Soon, he walked out of the woods and saw a three-meter-wide river outside the entrance of the village, flowing from Guxi Village, however, the river water potential is a little turbulent, looking up, it should be in the mountain stream behind Guxi Village, there is a waterfall with a big drop and the like, therefore, although this Guxi Village is full of feng shui, but the water potential is slightly urgent, not very conducive to gathering qi and hiding the wind, the three mountains of the Yang House here are probably not as good as they see, and a lot of feng shui aura is taken away by this slightly urgent water potential.

Ningyang walked up along the river, the woods are very sparse, you can already see the entrance of Guxi Village, there are some wooden fences around, it should be to prevent wild beasts in the mountains, on both sides of the river, some farmland has been opened, it is now April and May, rice has been planted, etc., see its growth is not bad, passing by two paddy fields in the mountains, you will come to the gate of the village, there is a small wooden house at the entrance of the village, like the guard's room, the oil lamp has been lit.

He walked over, and out of the wooden house came an old man with impaired mobility, but he was in good spirits, and his eyes were like torches, which made people feel awe, and he hurriedly bowed down to meet the old man and explained his intentions.

The old man was very kind and hospitable, and as soon as he heard that he was going to find Old Man He as a guide and go to Fulong Mountain. And this Fulong Mountain does not refer to this large area of Fulong Mountain Range, but the Fulong Mountain that has been passed down from generation to generation in Guxi Village, in this deep mountain, according to Cui Laodao's guidance to Ningyang, this old man He is the old hunter of this Fulong Mountain, and knows the specific location of Fulong Mountain, however, the old man's face changed slightly, and he said: "Young man, this Fulong Mountain is rumored to be infested with monsters, and the old hunters have been there and said that at night, the monsters are dense, and the monsters are infested, and many hunters or tomb robbers enter there and never return. Young man, you wouldn't be a tomb robber too, would you? ”

This old man has a very strong Sichuan accent, but Ning Yang is also a native of Sichuan and Shu, so he can understand it, so he frowned slightly, the old man thought that he was robbing the tomb, touching his nerves, afraid that Ning Yang would make any other moves, so he hurriedly changed his words and said: "Little brother, the old man is not against you to rob the tomb, but it is really dangerous there, there have been people in our village who have entered Fulong Mountain to rob the tomb for generations, but unfortunately, almost all of them are gone!" ”

Ning Yang said: "Listening to what you said, old man, do you know where Fulong Mountain is?" ”

The old man smiled and shook his head, "Even if I know, you can't take you with me if you see that I'm lame!" You look for He Dagang, he does know where Fulong Mountain is? However, isn't it time for you to go now, and his family is now getting married? ”

Saying that, the old man's face was a little unnatural, Ning Yang looked at his expression, as if the old man did not approve of He Dagang's family to hold this underworld marriage, but unfortunately, he didn't want to care about anything about the underworld marriage, but entering Fulong Mountain was the most important thing, and simply asked the old man a few words, after pointing out that he was a Taoist priest, the old man told him about the underworld marriage.

He Dagang's son 'He Wei' died suddenly a month ago, He Wei is not married, He Dagang thinks that he did not choose a mate for his son before his death, and he will marry him after his death, but he can't find a suitable bride, as a result, during this time, Guxi Village is still a little uneasy, Mr. Village, he thinks that He Wei has to choose a mate to calm down, no, today finally found a suitable bride, tonight to prepare for the marriage.

Ningyang said goodbye to the old man, and entered the village, under the dim light, some oil lamps gradually lit up, in a slightly higher place in the village, the lights were the brightest, and joy sounded from it, look at the houses in Guxi Village, most of them are wooden houses, however, they are all made of stone as the foundation, and the houses on slightly higher ground are obviously unique in the village, particularly eye-catching, obviously, they are big households in the village.

Walking along the stone road in the village, towards the big family of He's house, I met some villagers on the way, and seemed to see him as an outsider, and there was a soil dog beside him, and he frowned a little, but Ning Yang had a kind face and spoke casually, but he didn't let these villagers expel him, so he symbolically inquired about He Dagang's situation, and someone invited him to go to He's house for dinner, and said a few polite words, and followed the villagers to the courtyard of He's house, where there were many tables and many villagers sitting around.

As a guest, Ning Yang still gave some gift money, and the head of the He family welcomed him warmly, and sat next to him, so he chose a table that could see the lobby and sat on it, and there were three young people sitting next to him, who seemed to have a cold face, which made him a little strange, and many people around him had some joy on their faces, but the younger generation seemed to be very taboo about this dark marriage.

And the black wolf at his feet was also restless, grinning a little towards the lobby.

And Ning Yang hurriedly quietly erected his fingers, opened the eye of the sky, and looked towards the lobby, the sky was dark, there were two big dragon and phoenix candles burning in the lobby, and there was also fire around the lobby, although there was no electric light, but the lobby was still very bright, but unfortunately, under the eye of the sky, there was a lot of yin in the lobby, some of which were lingering, condensed but not dispersed, although I didn't see any ghosts, but from the performance of the black wolf, I am afraid that this underworld marriage will not be too peaceful.

In the lobby, he saw the two young men, one fat and one thin, standing behind a half-hundred-year-old man, who didn't seem to speak, and didn't even say anything to the half-hundred-year-old, just looked at a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties opposite, and the old aunt was talking to the middle-aged man.

Now, Ning Yang knows who that old aunt is? It should be the matchmaker in ancient times, and the middle-aged man should be He Dagang.

The old matchmaker was talking to He Dagang and others, but, judging from their faces, they were not very good, and they were not very smooth, but in the end, He Dagang seemed to be unable to resist the matchmaker's request, and nodded his head with a frown, I don't know what he promised, making his face so ugly?

Then, the matchmaker walked up to the half-hundred-year-old man and told him the situation with a smile, and the half-hundred-year-old man showed a smile on his face and nodded lightly.

Ning Yang didn't know what they were talking to He Dagang, but judging from the physiognomy on the secret arts, the half-hundred-year-old man and the fat and thin three people behind him were not good people, and they seemed to have a faint feeling of a strange smell, judging from what they were carrying, it should be a female corpse, could it be that the half-hundred-year-old man and the other three were the woman's maiden family as a female corpse, then this matter is probably very interesting?

At this moment, the three young men sitting next to him began to speak.
