Chapter 238: Marriage
The ** part of the underworld marriage is coming, and at this time, both those who help or join in the excitement in the ancestral hall have all been driven out, leaving there to be living people, and this thing really can't be done.
After the clearance, some people are guarding the exit of the ancestral hall, the door is pasted with the snow-white word "Xi", just like the soldiers standing guard in general, these people are to prevent people from coming in, the most important thing is that one of the several people in this is particularly tall, full of horizontal meat, and there is a ruthlessness in his eyes, this person is the mountain. There is also a young man who is a young man, and the kind of shrewdness that flashes in cynicism is obviously not a character that can come out of our small mountain village, and this person is Chaozi. There is also a young man with vicissitudes and maturity in his steadyness, since the day he came, he has not spoken much, and he never needs words to prove his strength.
Just these three buddies poked there, and the people who gathered around to watch the excitement saw that they couldn't get a bargain, and they all scattered in all directions, and those who peeked on the hillside really couldn't care, and the Chinese never thought that there was not enough excitement, just not enough to see.
The ceremony officially began, and Cha Wenbin tied a red thread to the small note in front of the two coffins, which is called a thread of fate, and the red rope of the old moon is about the same truth.
There is no red hijab, no phoenix crown, no tall horses, and no gongs and drums. Yes, it's just a handful of paper money that Cha Wenbin casually raised.
Two small wine glasses were placed on the table in front of the coffin, and one glass of wine was poured into them, not much, but just right.
At this time, Cha Wenbin took out two chickens from the cage that had been prepared next to him, one was a big red-haired rooster, and the other was a hen that had not laid eggs.
He quickly tied the thread in his hand around the necks of the two chickens, and the other end on the red rope in the middle of the coffins.
This chicken is a living thing, it will run around, people can't control the animals, this Cha Wenbin thought of a way, in advance to starve the two chickens for a whole day, at this time at their feet put a plate, the plate is filled with rice, the chicken immediately honestly pecked the rice in place.
Cha Wenbin took out two pieces of long incense and put them in front of the two coffins to light them, and the incense burned normally, but as the incantation in Cha Wenbin's mouth gradually recited, the incense began to float to the coffin's head.
When he opened his eyes slightly, he saw that they were almost ready, and then said to the empty ancestral hall: "Please come here today, I want you to give a witness to the couple, everyone eat and drink well!" Then he made a gesture towards the empty ancestral hall, and if you are careful, you will find that there are messy fingerprints on some of the tables, and there are traces of footsteps on the ground in front of the stools, and there is still the sound of tea bowls colliding.
Then, holding a small stick with an earthworm tied to it, he walked up to the two chickens and suddenly shouted: "Worship heaven and earth!" Then the small stick in his hand shook to the sky, where were the two chickens willing to let go of such delicious food, their necks immediately poked up, and then Cha Wenbin quickly threw the earthworm to the ground, and the two chickens lowered their heads at the same time.
This probe is a low-level gesture, which is to complete a kowtow action of worshipping heaven and earth, this kind of trick, I am afraid that only people who know how to think of it.
Then it's up to the shrine hall with a pile of cobwebbed and rotten spirit cards, all of whom are Fluttershy's ancestors, and they are the only ones to do in this hall.
With the same trick, after completing the husband and wife worship, Cha Wenbin quickly grabbed the two chickens that were still competing for earthworms, and each of them stabbed them fiercely, and the chicken blood immediately gushed out.
By this point, the chickens had completed their mission, and were now making their final struggles in the yard.
Hot rooster blood has always been a good remedy to ward off evil spirits, but today it is used for other purposes.
How to use it? saw Cha Wenbin dip his finger in a drop of rooster blood and drip it on the head of the coffin, and the blood slowly fell down. At the same time, the hen's blood is also placed on Fluttershy's coffin.
When the blood reached the position of the red rope, it began to stop, and slowly condensed into two blood beads, which made people feel that the blood beads would not be able to hold on to the ground at some point.
Looking at the long incense again, it also burned more than half a column, Cha Wenbin unhurriedly held a talisman paper in his right hand, and held an evil bell, after a crisp sound of "bell", the two blood beads began to shake for the first time.
"Bell", this is the second time that Cha Wenbin shakes the evil bell in his hand, and at this moment, the blood beads began to slowly roll along the red rope to the middle.
When the blood beads were walking towards the middle, the direction of the incense drift was gradually moving closer to the middle, and the paper figures and paper horses tied in the courtyard seemed to come to life in an instant, with smiling faces and stretched necks, as if they were waiting for this last moment of the Holy Spirit.
Somehow, the blood beads on Fluttershy's side suddenly stopped when they were about to merge with Chen's blood beads, and Cha Wenbin was afraid that the situation had changed, and he was about to urge the law, only to see that there was a very small drop of blood behind Fluttershy's side, which was slowly coming, needless to say, this is also the rain.
I don't know how Chen Fang felt when he learned that he had such a daughter, a woman who had been waiting for him silently for decades and this own flesh and blood in this ancestral hall where the cold wind was blowing, snakes and rats were scurrying, and he had never taken half a step.
Regret it? Admittedly, he didn't know, but if he had known that Fluttershy was dead, Chen Fang might not have lived to be in his eighties, and Fluttershy had always been the hope in his heart, and with this hope, he could survive in that dilapidated ancestral house, and with this hope he could survive the two major crimes in those turbulent years.
Cha Wenbin somewhat understood why Chen Fang would make a frightened sound when he turned on the light, he was afraid. He was afraid that someone would come into his life, and he was afraid that others would tell him that after so many years, there was no hope.
So he began to run away from the crowd, even to the point of avoiding the light, and only in that dark and lonely room could he become the Chen Fang of decades ago, and he would continue to guard his dreams, the woman, and their promises.
Is this moment too late?
No, as long as there is a lover who eventually becomes married, it is never too late.
"Bell!" When the evil bells in Cha Wenbin's hands rang for the third time, the two half-blood beads quickly dissolved into one, and the two different blood began to chase each other together, and finally "ticked" and fell into the bowl below that had already contained rootless water.
What is amazing is that the two incense sticks happened to be extinguished at this time, and with the bending of the ashes, the last wisp of smoke was perfectly twisted into a strand in the air, and quietly dispersed towards the top of the ancestral hall......
At this point, the part of the underworld marriage can be considered to be over, but Cha Wenbin's matter is not over, Fluttershy's bones have long been rotten and clean, and he will have to build a husband and wife grave for them tomorrow, this kind of joint burial tomb is different from the kind of usual death, in short, it is very important here, and if you want the two to come together completely after death, you must go through that procedure.
Cha Wenbin quickly pushed open the door, then took out a handful of rice mixed with tea leaves from his pocket and threw it at the door and shouted: "Send off guests!" ”
This is to let those "friends" who came to the wedding to leave quickly, and after a while, he patted each of them on the shoulder a few times, which can be regarded as giving these brothers standing guard a bad luck, in fact, their brothers really don't care, what scene has not been seen.
Originally, I was busy here, so I could go back to rest first, and on the second day, I would pick an hour to bury the couple. But after all, something happened, and it was not someone else who had an accident, but a single man in our village, nicknamed Thorn Head.
What about this person, as his name suggests, is a thorn in the head, specializing in stealing chickens and dogs, he is a big bald head all year round, he goes to eat and drink when he does things, but he definitely does not follow the etiquette, if he thinks the wine and food are not good, he will find fault with the master's family, in short, the reputation of our village is really bad.
This man was kicked out very early that day, purely for the sake of the excitement, he didn't believe in this thing in his bones, in his words, he fell asleep on the mass grave, and he had never seen a ghost come to trouble him. I don't know if this is bragging, but this kid did do some stealing and digging ancient tombs, but our land has been very poor since ancient times, and he didn't let him take out a few valuable things.
This thorn head has nothing to do anyway, pulled a few small ruffians in the village to squat on the back mountain to watch the excitement, in front of the big fish and meat just out of the kitchen and the wine bottle that staggered, this kind of white funeral, let him to contribute that is impossible, he stared at the set of jewelry used to accompany the funeral, in their words, this is called Mingqi. Although Fluttershy's set of things is not very valuable, it is still no problem to change a few drinks, plus these are two orphan graves without a queen, and if you don't start by yourself, isn't that cheaper for others?
Therefore, he stared at the ancestral hall from this mountain, for fear that the little thing would be gone. If you want to say that this person should be encountered, then it can really run into something.
When Cha Wenbin was busy, a yellow muntjac appeared out of nowhere behind this thorn head, which was the one that my father had shot countless times that day without sounding.
The prickly gang also knew that this thing was a good thing, the skin was valuable, and the meat was delicious, but they didn't have a knife or a gun in their hands, so they grabbed it empty-handed?
Thorn didn't know what to think, so he picked up a stone the size of a brick from the ground and threw it at the muntjac, which was really a coincidence, a stone just hit the head of the muntjac that was better than a ghost, and immediately his brain cracked, and he died.
This made the prickly head very happy, and immediately beckoned the little ruffians to carry the muntjac home with a snort
