…

"No! There was no wind in the town during those days!"

When Mrs. Huang talked about this, Uncle Jiu frowned. There hasn't been much wind in Renjia Town recently, but it has been a bit sultry these days.

"Please ask the neighbors if they felt the wind that night!"

In order to verify his speculation, Uncle Jiu asked Huang Laofa to go to his neighbor's house to confirm. It had been so sultry these days. If it was windy, maybe they would have an impression.

Soon Huang Laofa came back from outside with a surprised look on his face. Seeing his expression, Uncle Jiu became more convinced in his speculation.

"Uncle Jiu, I asked several households in the surrounding area, and they all said they didn't hear the wind blowing outside!"

Sure enough, Huang Laofa learned that the surrounding neighbors did not feel the wind blowing nearby that night, but the wind blew outside their house that night.

"That's right! This is a ghost marriage!"

Uncle Jiu has determined that Huang Laofa's daughter got married by a ghost.

Ghost marriage is a kind of ghost marriage, also known as ghost marriage, ghost marriage, ghost marriage, it is a long-standing bad custom among the people, which can be traced back to the Han Dynasty.

In ancient times, people believed that after a single man or woman passed away, they were afraid that they would be lonely down there, so their parents would choose suitable partners for them to match their shady relatives. There is also a saying that a lonely tomb will affect future generations, so it is used to make the family prosperous.

Underworld marriages are held for the deceased.

There are two types of ghost marriages: the dead and the dead and the dead and the living. The former is to look for the bodies of the same dead after the death of the deceased. After the two families have discussed, they will hold a ghost marriage for them, so that the deceased has a partner in the underworld to take care of each other.

In Li Mu's world, one of the more famous shady marriages in history was that of Cao Cao's son, Cao Chong, who died at the age of thirteen. At that time, Cao Cao hired a deceased woman named Zhen to be Cao Chong's wife, to serve as a shady match for the two of them.

marriage.

But as time went by, the nature of this gradually changed, from the parents reaching an agreement at the beginning to stealing the bodies of the newly deceased, and finally even going so far as to brutally kill some men and women with suitable horoscopes and use them for...

When the situation intensified, the court went out to suppress and put an end to this phenomenon. However, this trend still spread among the people, especially in some remote areas, where the court's lack of supervision was even more prevalent.

Shadow marriages between the dead and the living usually involve only one son or daughter in the family. After his death, the parents will spend a lot of money to find a living person as their significant other. In the future, someone will be able to worship and return the child to them.

You can take over the responsibility of caring for your elderly parents at home.

But what Xiaoli encountered was obviously neither of the above two.

"Marrying a ghost? Are you saying that my daughter is attracted by a ghost?"

Upon hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Huang Laofa's face changed drastically, and he asked Uncle Jiu for confirmation in fear.

"Yes, has Ling Qianjin been to places like cemeteries recently?"

"No, my daughter rarely goes out. Except for going to the market during the day, she spends all her time at home learning embroidery!"

Mrs. Huang shook her head. Her daughter had been influenced by her and rarely had contact with outsiders, let alone going to places like cemeteries.

Mrs. Huang's words made Uncle Jiu frown, which made him a little confused. Judging from the current situation, the target of the other party was clearly Huang Xiaoli.

But not going out means there is no chance to provoke the other party, so how did he find Huang Xiaoli?

After raising this question to Huang Laofa and his wife, they looked confused, so Uncle Jiu had to put the question aside for now.

"Master, what does the day that Huang Xiaoli is talking about mean?"

At this time, Li Mu became suspicious of what Huang Xiaoli said.

Li Mu's words shook Uncle Jiu's body, and he quickly grabbed Huang Laofa and asked urgently.

"How many days has your daughter been like this?"

"It's been five or six days. What's wrong, Uncle Jiu? Is there something wrong?"

Huang Laofa looked at Uncle Jiu in confusion and said. After Uncle Jiu heard this, he calculated based on what Huang Xiaoli said just now that there was one day left and concluded that the ghost groom would come to marry Xiaoli on the seventh day.

And today happens to be the sixth day, which means that after tonight, the other party will appear at this time tomorrow.

"There's still one day left. You guys should check before dark tomorrow to see if anyone has died recently in the town, mainly single young people!"

Seven days happens to be the night when people return to their souls after death, and the person who found Huang Xiaoli so easily and directly was obviously someone who knew her before she was alive, and might even be someone who liked Huang Xiaoli.

As for why it took seven days to come over to marry Xiaoli, it was because the other party had not been able to show up before that, and could only make a marriage contract with Huang Xiaoli through dreams to consume her anger, so she chose to do it on the night of Huihun, when she was full of soul power.

One day to marry Xiaoli.

After explaining the whole story to everyone, Uncle Jiu first gave Huang Xiaoli a prescription to replenish her depleted vitality.

After the people boiled the medicine and gave it to Xiaoli, they saw that her complexion was obviously better than before.

"Uncle Jiu, what should we do next?"

It was still dark at this time, and no one in the town had gotten up yet. Even if Huang Laofa wanted to inquire, he couldn't.

"Let Qianjin go to your room to rest tonight. I will arrange a formation to isolate her breath so that the other party cannot find her. However, this will also alert the enemy!"

Now the only connection between the other party and Xiaoli is through dreams. Once the breath is cut off and the other party cannot find Xiaoli, he will be wary and may not show up easily!

In this way, even if Xiaoli is saved now, it is inevitable that the other party will come back again in the future.

Now the other party spent a lot of time for seven days because of lack of strength. Once he is given time, he may not be given time to react next time he does it again. After all, Uncle Jiu and the others cannot be by Xiaoli's side every day.

"Is there any other way?"

When Huang Laofa heard that it was possible to alert the snake and make the other party aware of it, although Huang Laofa felt sorry for his daughter's condition, he still understood the principle of not killing the snake but leaving it at his own peril.

"I have a method here. Use Xiaoli as a bait to set a trap in your home. When the other party shows up, you can trap him and get rid of him once and for all."

Naturally, Uncle Jiu would not be merciful to such a ghost who did not care about the lives of others for his own selfish desires. After explaining the plan to Huang Laofa and his wife, he comforted them and returned to Yizhuang with Li Mu.

"Master, is it okay if we just leave like this?"

On the way, Li Mu asked Uncle Jiu with some doubts, if they both left, would it really be okay to leave Huang Laofa's family behind?

"It's okay, this ghost groom hasn't become a thing yet, so they'll be safe tonight."

"But why does the soul of a recently deceased person have such great power to turn Huang Xiaoli into this state?"

As usual, the recently deceased ghost is still in a confused state at this time, and should not have such great abilities. Even if it is to entrust dreams to relatives, Huang Xiaoli confirmed that he was not related to him and had invaded her dream.

This made Li Mu a little puzzled.

"When the time comes, you can ask him what makes him obsessed so deeply!"
