Chapter 43: Ghost Marriage
Ye Jiannan slowly opened his eyes, in front of him was a very spacious cave, its interior was brightly lit, and there were faintly noisy sounds coming out from the cave.
Ye Jiannan suspiciously swept a glance at the paper doll. The paper doll smiled back, "Sir, please come in!"
Since he had come, Ye Jiannan didn't think of retreating, the Phantom King he had already seen, now returning to fight with that guy, he might as well be invited to be a ghost guest, since it was a wedding banquet, I believe that it wouldn't cause any bloodshed, right?
Ye Jiannan quieted his mind and walked towards the depths, the paper doll followed. After walking about a hundred paces, the cave became open, and the surrounding stone walls drew some hellish diagrams, which made Ye Jiannan feel like he wasn't going to see a ghost, but rather to the Taishan Divine Hall.
"In the past, this was a god's temple, but the god has already exalted, the poor mountains, there is no more god in the handover, the master dared to live in this!" The paper doll saw Ye Jiannan staring at the paintings on the walls in confusion, which explained.
Ye Jiannan secretly sighed, no wonder ghosts and monsters were rampant here, so there was no guardian god.
Through the mural paintings for a while, its interior was more open, and the light from the cave entrance, shone out from here.
Coinciding with the wedding banquet, the master or some effort, all the lanterns above, are pasted with red thin paper, which is loaded with candlesticks, lanterns emit light red light, so that the whole cave is filled with a festive atmosphere.
Dozens of meters in the inward walk, finally saw the cave in full view, this is a cave, should be said to be heaven.
There were some light clouds in the cave, as if it was caused by ghost magic, deliberately decorated out of the fairyland scene. In addition, all the walls, are loaded with red cloth, just than the mortal wedding ceremony has a feeling of much more.
But the only shortcoming was that there were too few people attending the wedding, or perhaps it could be said that there were too few ghosts.
The groomsman was a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old, wearing a groom's uniform from the Qing Dynasty, which was really something!
The other was the two officiators, a man and a woman, both in their eighties and nineties.
Then there are two banquet tables, each sitting about ten people, just now the noise, it is these two tables ghost issued.
The groom saw a guest came, hurriedly got up: "Mr. all the way fortunate, today can invite people to witness me and my mother's marriage, is my honor, Mr. quickly take a seat, Xiao Ai, quickly go to make tea ……"
The paper doll answered the promise and made a bow before exiting the side door.
Ye Jiannan looked at Xiao Ai, this kind of etiquette turned out to be not only in TV dramas.
"Mister quickly take a seat ……," the groomer said politely once again.
Ye Jiannan sat down and swept his gaze around, seeing that the ghosts were quiet, looking at him with slight surprise "Passing by here, if I disturb you all please bear with me ……"
"Sir where are your words, it is our honor to invite you!" The groomer returned.
As the two were speaking polite words, Xiao Ai had already poured the tea, carrying the teacup in small steps, and bowed in front of Ye Jiannan: "Sir, please use the tea!"
Ye Jiannan hastily took the tea, and placed it on the table, this cup of tea he did not intend to drink, having seen horror movies in which the steamed buns are stones and toads change, this tea is probably no better, it is estimated to be either blood or dirt.
"Sir can rest assured, this tea is from your yang world, we don't drink this ……" The groom seemed to see Ye Jiannan's concern.
Saying that, the groom lifted the tea cup with both hands and sent it to Ye Jiannan's face.
Ye Jiannan now had no choice, hurriedly took the tea and glanced at it, it was really steaming green tea. He could only bring it to his mouth and gently take a small sip. Even if there was no problem with this tea, he didn't dare to drink more.
"How come we haven't seen the bride?" Ye Jiannan hastily changed the topic.
"On her way, she'll be here in a while!" The groomer answered.
Just as she was talking, a paper doll ran in, identical to which one that picked up Ye Jiannan, and she came in and shouted, "The bride has arrived!"
"The bride is here …… The bride is here ……"
"The bride has arrived ……"
One by one, the ghosts in the banquet stood up and screamed strangely, and it was true that, contrary to the yang world, these ghosts in the wedding banquet all wore expressions that were more frustrated than crying, and voices that were more difficult to hear than crying, which was really puzzling.
Those ghosts are like light hydrogen balloons, a moment to float out of the cave, the groom some excitement also ran out, at this time, the cave is only Ye Jiannan and the two master of marriage.
The two wedding officiants did not say a word until the beginning, their eyes narrowed into a slit, if they did not look carefully, they thought they were asleep.
Ye Jiannan had little interest in the bride and sat down to scrutinize the surroundings.
After a while, the entrance to the cave was bustling with gongs and drums.
Ye Jiannan waited for more than ten minutes before the groomer helped a woman come in. When the woman appeared, Ye Jiannan's eyes widened, judging from the woman's heavy footsteps, it was actually a living person.
"Human ghost love!" Ye Jiannan was horrified, no wonder he was invited to come out alone to attend the wedding, it turned out that this ghost had married a yang woman.
Ye Jiannan came to be interested in this woman, who is a woman, even married to a ghost, can not be afraid of ghosts in the world, and now dare to marry a ghost woman, afraid that the world is the only one.
People and ghosts love not only against the heavens, but also to the living is suicide, regardless of men and women, as long as the same bed with the ghost, the end is dead. The man would be drained of his yang qi and die, and the woman would be drained of her yin qi and die.
Ye Jiannan this attention, his eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, because he saw that the woman and a person he was familiar with looked a bit similar, although wearing a red cover, figure, height, walking posture, and he was familiar with the person is really too much like.
"What's with the nonsense? How could she appear in the middle of a deep mountain and have to marry this ghost!" Ye Jiannan self-criticized.
The entire wedding ceremony was rather ancient, according to the ancient times of worshipping heaven and earth before finally being sent to the cave.
Just after worshipping heaven and earth, a paper doll hurriedly ran in, "Master, the Phantom King is here!"
"Old me is worshipping, I don't want to see any guests!" The groomer flatly denied.
Ye Jiannan was secretly shocked, it was unexpected that the Phantom King was so capable that he actually chased him here in such a short period of time. However, after hearing the groomer's words, he was much more relieved, it seems that it's really as Xiao Ai said, the groomer still has a certain status in this area haha!
"Xiao Ai, can't you understand what I'm saying?" The groomer yelled at the paper doll.
Xiao Ai reacted faster and hurriedly grabbed the answer, "Master, I'll send them away ……," Xiao Ai hurriedly helped her sister Xiao Ai take the responsibility.
"Wait, it's better for me to go personally." The groomer suddenly called out to the duo and turned to Ye Jiannan, "Mister won't go out, I'll take care of it by stepping in!"
"Bother you!" Ye Jiannan returned.
"Well said, well said!" The groomer said, and took a few ghosts out.
Actually, Ye Jiannan was eager to see how much energy this groomer had, if it was big enough, he would be willing to stay here for a few more days.
However, the facts proved that this ghost had a lot of energy, after about three minutes of time, the groomer came back, and came back with a plate of Yin Coins in his hand, and a few low-grade Ghost Dans.
Ghost pills are refined using ghost oil as raw material, with the strange effect of prolonging the life of ghosts, but that's like platinum for the elderly, saying it's a tonic, how much efficacy it actually has is unclear to anyone. But in the netherworld also have netherworld gift, "send gift send ghost Dan" is also a popular advertising slogan.
However, in Ye Jiannan's opinion, the ghost dan is no different from garbage, his hands of the yin life dan and yin tonic pill, the life-extension and tonic separately refined, its purity, the number of raw materials, are not comparable to the ghost dan. And the most widely circulated in the netherworld was the Ghost Dan, which was like gold, while the Yin Tonic Pill was platinum, and the Yin Longevity Dan was as precious as diamonds!
"Thank you!" Ye Jiannan hurriedly thanked him.
"In this great king's territory, you can rest assured!" The groomer said generously.
Ye Jiannan then wondered, he and the groomer were strangers, why would he help him?
Ye Jiannan was exactly what he thought, at this time, the groomer talked a breath of air, "I'm helping you with your trouble, but I can't do anything about my trouble."
There is no such thing as pie in the sky, sure enough, this guy helped himself for a purpose.
However, Ye Jiannan still wants to stay here for two days, when he goes out of the mountain, he still needs someone to lead the way, so he asked "What problem let's see if I can solve it."
"My wife is a fire life, and I am a water life ……" said the groomer.
Ye Jiannan this is clear, the five elements are mutually exclusive, that is, in both sides are people, but also to find a yin and yang to do a reconciliation, otherwise the two are very difficult to be together, and sometimes there will be a big problem.
"The art of reconciling the five elements, well, I'll try!" Ye Jiannan bristled, it was nothing to escape the Phantom King's pursuit and do a field spell to repay this ghost.
The groomer thanked him repeatedly and ordered the two paper dolls to prepare for the ceremony.
Wedding banquet here should have ended, should be sent to the new couple into the cave, but to do, had to let the bride sit on the bench and wait, but the same as the wedding of the ancients, the bride did not open the red head to the end.
After setting up the altar, Ye Jiannan asked the groomer: "Please write your and your wife's birthdays and eight characters on a piece of paper, and yes, there are names."
The groom official answered the promise, stepped in the bride's ear and gabbled for a while, then took a pen and ink and began to write.
Ye Jiannan was doing the preliminary preparations, burning incense, purifying the altar, purifying water ……
After a while, the groomer sent over the written note, and Ye Jiannan began to read the note.
Ye Jiannan picked up the note, to do the reconciliation spell, the first thing to know is the two people's birthdates.
The first thing to read was the groomer's information, this person was indeed from the Qing Dynasty, and had been a ghost for more than a hundred years.
When Ye Jiannan's eyes moved to the bride's profile, he was completely stunned, it was such a familiar name, a name that had stayed in the depths of his soul for many years, "XiaMo……".
Ye Jiannan seemed to have received an electric shock, and froze at once. Xia Mo, how could it be her? Could it really be her? How could she appear here? And to marry a ghost ……
Countless question marks filled Ye Jiannan's head in an instant!
