Chapter 54: Ghost Marriage (2)

"What!?"

Once again, everyone looked surprised.

Shen Jing didn't lie, the female ghost was indeed the daughter-in-law of the Meng family before her death.

To be precise, she is the original wife of the groom Meng Huaiyu.

The female ghost's name before her death was Beixiang, and she was the only daughter in the family. Although it is not from a beautiful background, it can be regarded as a small jasper, and the family is very wealthy.

On the contrary, the groom Meng Huaiyu's family was very poor, his father died when he was less than one year old, and his mother brought him up with hard work.

Meng Huaiyu has been a smart and filial child since he was a child, and he is even more virtuous when he grows up. When it comes to Meng Jiaerlang, there is no one in Yuxuan Town who does not give a thumbs up.

Because of his good qualities, he has attracted the admiration of many girls in the town, including Beixiang.

The next thing is very simple, Meng Huaiyu and Beixiang gradually fell in love with each other in their daily relationship, and soon set a wedding date.

There are two traditions in the town, one is that the newlyweds visit the church after dusk, and the other is that the bride must be married first at home on the first day of the church.

Out of love for his daughter, Beixiang's family added a dowry of 100,000 taels, and became a legend in the town for a while, and everyone said that the Meng family married the right daughter-in-law.

In order to show the importance of the new daughter-in-law, Meng Huaiyu's mother did almost everything herself when preparing for the wedding.

Not only did she make a wedding robe and hijab for her daughter-in-law, but even the mandarin ducks playing in the water on the sedan curtain were also embroidered by her.

However, there is a saying that happiness is sorrowful, and I thought that the couple could live a happy life of harmony and beauty from now on, but misfortune came at this time.

On the day of the kiss, firecrackers and gongs and drums rang out.

Unexpectedly, the sedan chair landed, and before the groom could lift the sedan curtain, the sedan chair ignited a raging fire.

The bride and the eight sedan chair bearers were all killed in the fire.

The fire was so big that it could not be extinguished, and naturally caused a tragedy.

Kitago's father died in less than a month because he couldn't bear the blow of his daughter's death. Since he had no children or nephews, all his property was inherited by Meng Huaiyu, his son-in-law.

Since then, the Meng family has suddenly turned into the richest man in Yuhui Town.

Even though the Meng family was still in mourning, the matchmakers who came to say goodbye were stunned one after another, and they almost broke the threshold of the Meng Mansion.

Meng Huaiyu has not yet come out of the grief of the death of his deceased wife, and he refuses to remarry no matter what.

In desperation, he had no choice but to accept his mother's arrangement.

When he married his second wife, it happened to be the day when Beixiang was married to him.

Of course, this day was deliberately chosen by him, and he wanted to warn the bride that he only had Beixiang in his heart, and hoped that the other party would know the difficulties and retreat.

In order to destroy this marriage, Meng Huaiyu even sent a letter to the woman's house on the eve of the wedding, stating that he would never fall in love with the second woman in his life, and even if he married, he would only be a widow.

Who would have thought that the woman not only did not blame, but praised his infatuation, and immediately said that even if she was a concubine, she would marry into the Meng family.

The same thing happened on the same day a year later.

The second bride's sedan chair also caught fire when it landed, and the bride's fate was the same as that of Kitago, and she also died in the fire.

Later, Meng's mother told Meng Huaiyu two family affairs one after another, and the two brides suffered the same as the second bride, both died in the fire before they got off the sedan chair.

The day of the death of the fourth bride happened to be the day of the first year of Hokago's death.

This is where strange things begin.

On the night of the anniversary of Kitago's death, something happened that made the residents of the town unforgettable.

By midnight, most of the inhabitants had fallen asleep.

Only the firecrackers and gongs and drums at the gate of the Meng Mansion sounded in unison, and it was lively as if they were doing a happy event, and the townspeople who were so loud complained one after another.

Soon, the townsfolk who gradually woke up from their sleep noticed that something was wrong.

Who marries at night? The fourth bride died during the day, and then took a new wife at night? It's ridiculously fast.

As a result, some of the townspeople who were awakened began to go out to check on the situation.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

A team of relatives appeared on the empty street, which looked very strange and terrifying.

There are only eight sedan chair bearers in charge of carrying the sedan chair in this welcoming team, and there are neither bridesmaids nor drummers, but the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers is clear to the ears.

If you look closely, all the footsteps of the sedan chair driver are in the air.

Strictly speaking, this welcoming team "floated" over, not walked over.

By this time, half of the timid townspeople had already run away, and only a few of the bold ones insisted on watching.

This unusual team floated all the way to the gate of the Meng Mansion before it came to a stand.

Not long after, the bride in the wedding dress walked out of the sedan chair and took off her hijab by herself, and it turned out to be Beixiang, who was burned to death a year ago!

After getting off the sedan chair in the northern countryside, the figures of the eight sedan chair drivers gradually blurred until they disappeared into the moonlight, leaving only the bride kneeling alone in front of the Meng Mansion.

It is said that she completed the three prostrations and nine prostrations alone.

During her salute, the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums on the street never stopped.

At the end of the ceremony, Beixiang slowly got up and began to cry bitterly at the gate of Mengfu, and the crying was also very small, which sounded very miserable and terrifying.

Gradually, the clothes on her body began to fade from red to white, and the tears changed from transparent to blood red.

The rest of the townspeople wanted to flee because of fear and fear, but the soles of their feet were like rubber, and they could only continue to watch.

The crying continued until dawn, when the eight sedan chair drivers appeared again, and Beixiang, whose face was still bloodied, reluctantly got into the sedan chair.

At this time, the clothes on the sedan chair man also turned into white mourning clothes, and the originally good sedan chair also showed scorched marks.

Looking at it again, the faces of the nine people showed different degrees of burning.

Beixiang is the most terrifying, not only the mask is destroyed, but also the hair is falling out.

In this scene, several townspeople were already frightened and fainted.

When the first rooster crowed, the sedan chair suddenly disappeared, and the townspeople were free again. The crowd did not leave in a hurry, but gathered in front of the Meng Mansion to discuss.

Soon, more and more people gathered at the gate of Meng's mansion.

The story about the soul of Beixiang is getting more and more intense, and the more it spreads, the more frightening it becomes, making the listener afraid.

The strange thing is that no one in the whole Meng family heard the sound at the door last night, and they slept heavier than pigs.

It's as if the people of Meng Province are in two different worlds from the other townspeople.

Later, the townspeople spontaneously pooled money to hire a Taoist priest to do the work.

The Taoist priest threatened that Beixiang had cultivated into a fierce ghost with superb mana, and she had come back to take revenge this time, and Meng Huaiyu's other three brides were killed by her.
