Chapter 264: Ghost Turbulence (6)
Speaking of Yin marriage, in fact, even if Granny Wei didn’t say it, I knew exactly what was going on.
Because in my hometown, people strongly believe that if the deceased unmarried person is not allowed to "get married and start a family", the soul of the dead will make trouble in the house and make the family restless. Therefore, ghost marriages and ghost marriages are not popular among us.
That place is extremely important and popular.
Moreover, this kind of terrifying and strange thing seems to have been going on for thousands of years, but it is called differently in different places. Some places are called ghost marriages, and some are called ghost marriages or underworld marriages.
In fact, no matter what it is called, it is to find a person of the opposite sex who is not much different in age from someone who has never been married. Of course, the person must also be a dead person, and arrange a marriage for them so that they can have a companion in the underworld.
That's all.
However, there are several methods of yin marriage. As far as our place is concerned, there are four types: ghost marriage, bone marriage, secret marriage, and round grave.
I heard that the most famous ghost marriage was when Cao Cao held a ghost marriage for his son Cao Chong who died young. That is to say, after Cao Cao’s beloved son Cao Chong died, Cao Cao took the Zhen family’s family to prevent Cao Chong from being lonely in the underworld.
The deceased daughter was buried with him, and the ceremony was as grand and grand as a wedding between living people.
However, all those are just legends. What really makes me feel that the custom of ghost marriage is horrifying is the bizarre thing I heard about when I was in my hometown, about Hu Dekun organizing a secret marriage for his son Hu Wancai.
Because our village is close to the Yellow River, every time the weather is hot in summer, people in the village like to go to the Yellow River and swim for a while to feel refreshed and cool.
But everyone who lives by the Yellow River knows that the surface of the Yellow River may seem slow to outsiders, but in fact there are undercurrents underneath that are extremely dangerous. Moreover, there are often ravines below, ranging from several feet in length to several miles in length, although they are not wide.
﹑But it is extremely deep and filled with silt and quicksand. If you are not careful, you will drown.
As people who live by the Yellow River, we are very familiar with the nearby waters. Generally, as long as we don't wander around, we will be fine. Unfortunately, Hu Wancai is not very old, only sixteen or seventeen years old.
However, because his family was in a very good situation and there were many tenant farmers working long hours, he always set his sights higher than his own and thought highly of himself. No matter what he did, he rarely convinced others.
That summer, it was an extremely hot afternoon before the rain. Many of us were playing in the shallow water of the Yellow River to cool off the heat. Among them was Hu Dekun's youngest son, Hu Wancai.
It is said that 90% of the people who drowned were children and young people. Apart from the fact that children are not sensible, this is because after middle age, most people have a calm personality and are not impulsive, and will not easily take risks. And young people
When we are together, we often compete in swimming skills and courage.
At that time, not far from where we were swimming, there was a well-known large gully. The mud inside was so deep that if you were not careful, you would get stuck in it and suffocate to death.
As a result, Hu Wancai and a group of his peers drowned in a ravine while competing to see who was smarter and braver. When they were fished out, their mouths, noses and ears were full of sand, and they were suffocated in them.
.
It was midsummer at that time, the sun was like fire and the weather was hot. Hu Wancai was buried that day.
But not long after, the Hu Dekun family began to become restless, and the young and old were uneasy. It was said that it was the drowned Hu Wancai who was causing trouble at home, either throwing sand into the pot or showing up at night to scare people...
Hu Dekun was rich and wealthy, so he quickly invited a magic man to take a look. As a result, the magic man said that Hu Wancai saw people in pairs in the underworld, but he was alone, so he wanted his parents in the upper world to help him get married and start a family!
This is a big problem, because no matter how rich and powerful he is, no woman of the same age as Hu Wancai died at that time, and he cannot forcefully marry a living person as his daughter-in-law!
Wealthy people are easy to get things done. Although Hu Dekun could not find a living person to be buried with him for a ghost marriage, he promised Hu Laihai, the ghost matchmaker in the village, a large sum of money, saying that as long as he could help his son marry a better wife, he would be happy in the underworld.
When he was satisfied and stopped making trouble, he gave Hu Lai'er several acres of fertile land.
The so-called ghost matchmakers are not matchmakers who make matchmaking and marriage proposals for living people, but are mostly mature men with some magical powers. Because helping people complete ghost marriages is not just a simple introduction, but must be able to
A complete set of tasks for dressing the dead and closing the coffin for burial.
What's more important is that if there is no suitable dead body and the customer is in urgent need, the ghost media will not hesitate to travel dozens or hundreds of miles to steal, steal or rob, or even do things that are harmful to money and life.
Carry the body that the customer needs.
Hu Lai'ai in our village does this for a living. He has a lot of matchmaking skills and is very skilled in the business. He is quite famous in our area. People give him the nickname "Ghost Matchmaker Hu".
If the villagers in Sanli and Wu Village just introduced each other and hosted a ghost wedding ceremony or something, it would be difficult for the ghost matchmaker Hu to make much money.
What really allowed ghost matchmaker Hu to make a lot of money was when he met Hu Dekun - he urgently needed to find a female corpse that was similar in age to Hu Wancai and preferably had the same appearance, but at that time there was no one in the surrounding villages.
When a person like that comes, it's time for him to show off his skills and make a fortune.
As expected, the ghost matchmaker Hu lived up to his reputation. Within three days, he brought Hu Dekun the body of a beautiful 28-year-old female.
Hu Dekun was not as simple as other people's shady marriages. Instead, he followed the routine of marrying a living person and did it in a grand way.
At that time, everyone in the village went to his house to watch the fun. Of course Goudan and Dasha and I were also there. I saw that the ghost matchmaker Hu had dressed the female corpse like a bride, with a lot of phoenix crowns and harems, just like Hu Wancai.
The portraits and paper figures were worshiped together, and then the coffins were opened and buried together, which was also very grand.
After the underworld wedding for Hu Wancai was completed, Hu Wancai should be very satisfied in the underworld. But the day after the underworld wedding, I heard the sound of crying from Hu Dekun's house - Hu Dekun has always been solid and unstoppable.
The sick old father died violently that night, with eyes wide open and a dead look on his face. It is said that there was a black and blue mark on his neck.
Exactly seven days after Hu Dekun completed the funeral for his old father, his old mother also passed away.
At this time, Hu Dekun finally realized that his old father's sudden death was not normal, and there must be some evil reason. So he immediately invited the very famous local Li Banxian to come over and check.
As a result, Li Banxian told him that someone in his Hu Dekun family would die violently every seven days, and he would not stop until there were seven coffins.
At this time, Hu Dekun was shocked, scared and angry! Because in our place, a family brought out seven coffins in a row. This is a curse word, which means that their family has done something unscrupulous and unscrupulous.
, will lead to such retribution.
To be honest, although Hu Dekun was a bit mean to the tenant farmers, he still has a good reputation in our village. He is usually polite and polite to others. At least, I have never heard of him, Hu Dekun.
What a sinful thing.
So when Li Banxian said this, Hu Dekun jumped up and said that their ancestors had lived in the village for generations. Not to mention that they had never done anything harmful to nature, but they had done a lot of things to help those in need and help people solve their problems - no.
With all the virtues accumulated by his ancestors, how could he, Hu Dekun, have a long-lasting family business?
But that Li Banxian told him that no matter what, his Hu Dekun family was full of resentment and uneasy. It was really a taboo. The whole courtyard was full of evil spirits, and seven coffins would definitely come out in a row.
....
Hu Dekun was angry, but he didn't dare to gamble with the lives of his family members. After all, the first two coffins contained his parents and the elderly. If Li Banxian really followed Li Banxian's advice, the third coffin would most likely come to him.
On!
What's more, if there are seven coffins in Hu Dekun's house, even if he is not killed by ghosts, he will be angry to death or drowned in the spit of the villagers - he has always claimed to be from a scholarly family.
﹑The family has been passed down by virtue, but now they have seven coffins in a row because they have done all kinds of evil things. Doesn’t it make people laugh to death?
Therefore, although Hu Dekun was very angry, he was not confused. He had to ask Li Banxian for guidance and help him solve the problem.
That Li Banxian told Hu Dekun that there was a very vicious female ghost in his house who was causing trouble and seeking life, but he couldn't figure out the real identity of the female ghost, so Hu Dekun had to tell him what was going on before he could
Prescribe the right medicine.
When he heard that Li Banxian said that it was a female ghost who was causing trouble and harming people, Hu Dekun finally woke up from a dream: it must be because of his younger son's ghost marriage, which brought such a big disaster to the whole family!
When Li Banxian heard that Hu Dekun said that she was a twenty-eight-year-old girl, she shook her head and waved her hands, saying that she was a female ghost who was less than twenty and had just died. She definitely did not have such a sinister aura, so she asked Hu Dekun to think about it carefully.
, never hide your illness or conceal it, otherwise if it continues, it will be time to prepare the third coffin!
Hu Dekun was angry and angry. What Li Banxian said was clearly saying that he, Hu Dekun, had indeed done something unscrupulous and shameful! If Li Banxian hadn't been famous for dozens of miles around, Hu Dekun would have kicked him out long ago.
Get lost!
In this way, Li Banxian insisted that his family must have done something unconscionable and bad, but Hu Dekun screamed that he was wronged and never admitted that his family had done something that was unjust and unjust!
Finally, when Li Banxian saw that Hu Dekun didn't look like he was lying, and heard others say that Hu Dekun had never done anything bad for the sake of wealth, he was very surprised. He accidentally asked Hu Dekun, whose family your son married when he had a secret marriage.
Daughter?
Hu Dekun answered truthfully, saying that it was such a hot day and the child's body could not be put away or wait. How could there be such a coincidence that a young, unmarried girl happened to die?
So he paid a lot of money to ask the ghost media Hu to find a solution, but the ghost media Hu didn't say where he got the female corpse - after all, this was his job secret. He didn't want to tell it, and we were too embarrassed to ask.
, anyway, everyone gets what they need, and our problem is solved.
Li Banxian said doubtfully that even if Hu, the ghost mediator, robbed the tomb, opened the coffin, and stole a young female corpse, he shouldn't have such a sinister aura? Could it be that Hu, the ghost mediator, was so blinded by wealth and so greedy for profit that he became the one?
If you get those acres of fertile land from Hu Dekun, do you want to do it yourself and kill people with corpses?
When Hu Dekun heard what Li Banxian said, his face was horrified, saying that it was really possible! The ghost matchmaker Hu was young, strong, greedy for money, and very bold. If Hu Dekun hadn't been helpless at the time, he would never have spent a lot of money to find him.
-----At that time, I was so troubled by that child that I had no choice but to do anything!
It seems that the problem lies here! Hu Dekun was so angry that he immediately sent his servants to find the ghost matchmaker Hu. If the ghost matchmaker Hu really killed people and arranged a secret marriage for his son, he must teach him a lesson.
After a pause, he was sent to the government and asked to accuse him of murdering someone for money.
After a while, several servants pushed and pulled the ghost media Hu to the house.
However, no matter how hard Hu Dekun questioned and threatened him, the ghost matchmaker Hu insisted that he had never killed anyone, and the female corpse he promised to provide Hu Dekun was definitely not alive when he found it!
Hu Dekun and Li Banxian saw that the ghost matchmaker Hu denied it, but they did not dare to lynch him, so they turned him over to the government and asked the government to examine and punish him.
Hu Dekun's son-in-law happened to be on duty at the county government at the time, so he handled the matter very quickly. After being tortured, the ghost matchmaker Hu finally couldn't stand it anymore and admitted it!
But what the ghost mediator Hu admitted was not that he had killed anyone, but that in order to get the acres of land promised by Hu Dekun, he opened a tomb at an unknown date and stole the bodies.
Although digging graves, robbing graves, opening coffins and stealing corpses are also crimes and should be punished, after all, they are much lighter than the crime of murder, at least they do not require execution.
Therefore, no one in the government would be willing to believe it and bring the ghost matchmaker Hu to identify the location. Otherwise, even if he lies and denies it, he will be punished with severe punishment.
As a result, what is unimaginable is that the ghost matchmaker Hu, under the escort of public servants, actually led a group of people to the Shadowless Beach on the bank of the Yellow River...
When it comes to the Shadowless Beach, ordinary people within a radius of dozens of miles know that it is not a peaceful place. It looks like a grassy river beach, but in fact it is famous and infamous.
Because, even if it is a sunny day, people can still be shocked when they go to the grass on the riverbank - no matter who goes there, no one can see their own figure, so it is called Wuying.
beach.
