Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Prelude to Dark Marriage

Ghost marriage is an ancient custom. In the past, it was mostly for people who had a marriage contract but one of them passed away suddenly before getting married. In order to let the deceased party leave with peace of mind, they usually ask someone who understands to hold a ghost marriage for them, that is, The living marry the dead. In a sense, this custom is very humble, and it is caused by backward thinking. People think that the person will turn into resentment because he is not married, that is, the evil spirit, and let the lonely tomb destroy them. The feng shui that has been managed for a lifetime.Of course, there are also great love believers who, in order to keep their pre-marital promises, marry or marry the other half who have been separated from each other, and then spend their entire lives by the side of the ancient Qingdeng Buddha.

Love is great and selfish.Even if the building is empty, leave me your key; even if the tea is cold, leave me the seat; even if your world is completely occupied by him, tell me the location of the boundary marker; even if you Promised forever, and left forever to me... But there are very few people who match the dead with ghost marriages. First, this is not a good job, and if it is not done well, it will really attract evil spirits.Two, people are already sad enough after death, who would like to use such a naked way to recall, to just add to the coolness. This is no longer a ghost marriage, but a ghost marriage, where the dead are allotted to the dead, but Cha Wenbin really wants to re-marry a corpse that has just died and a bone that has already rotted. process.

White is the main color of this special "wedding". Through the hanging white paper flowers everywhere and the streamers cut like catkins, the children's play can't drive away the tears from the women's eyes .The men gave up their favorite mahjong and poker, smoking dull cigarettes, their eyes were empty and dull. Perhaps they were not familiar with Chen Fang at all, and some of them had never even talked to him. Children like us felt that he was an old man who was almost like a lunatic.The story between him and her should have come to an end on that night decades ago. As luck would have it, he failed to marry her after all, and she failed to wait for him after all.

The elderly and their daughters-in-law told stories they heard from the previous generation. After many changes, Xiaodie became Zhu Yingtai, and Chen Fang was Liang Shanbo. Perhaps, in our rural area, a place where even car navigation can't be found, people's understanding of love is oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, plain and real.This kind of vigorous and legendary love made them forget that this yin marriage itself is not such a simple matter. Although Cha Wenbin was already very popular in that year, "Ruyi Book" is just a book in the final analysis, with only seventy-two characters, which records everything about the heaven and the earth. How can he be so short? It can be penetrated in a certain amount of time.

Just because a person knows the truth doesn't mean he is invincible to another world.This is like Wang Yuyan, who is full of knowledge and knowledge, but has no actual martial arts routines. Tao is the understanding of nature and the pursuit of the spiritual level. It is not a talisman or a mantra, and the sword will not be sharper because of it. The reason why a Taoist can attain the Tao is not because he can catch ghosts, go to hell and go to heaven, but because his inner world can see far, see clearly, and see lightly. What if you have ten copies of Wish Book?What it records is not to teach you how to draw symbols or how to form an array. What it wants to say is just a world view that most people find empty and boring.As for these talismans and incantations, they are just some things that these seekers have realized on the way of seeking Tao.

The existence of Tao is not for spells; the existence of Taoist priests is not for catching ghosts! The slaughter of pigs and sheep during the day is just a foreshadowing for this wedding that does not belong to the world at night. Clearing the scene was the first thing Cha Wenbin did. Children like us had already been dragged home by adults.It was not dark, and the doors of every house were closed.The women hugged the children who kept poking out of their arms, like that fun game of whack-a-mole, with their necks stretched out, and they were stuffed back into the bed by the sighing and tearful old mothers.

This is the most commonly used method for Chinese people to interpret and avoid fear. It is always the safest under the covers. As long as I can't see, then nothing happens. After some calculations, who can stay and who must go, a notice has been clearly written and posted outside the gate.There are also people who have good things and want to watch the fun climb up the back mountain, the place where Dad fired countless shots without firing. In any marriage, in Chinese customs, the most important person is the matchmaker. Marriages in China have always focused on the right marriage by the matchmaker. Therefore, if the marriage is not done through a matchmaker, it will be inconsistent with the etiquette.Parents' order, matchmaker's words, only then can the wedding ceremony be performed.The matchmaker will play the role of an intermediary from the proposal of marriage to engagement and marriage.

Because Xiaodie passed away a long time ago, and the scattered relatives from that era don't know where they are now, let alone Chen Fang, who is old and childless.If you insist on finding a matchmaker, I'm afraid those women in the village who love to talk the most will not dare to do it. Who would dare to be a matchmaker for a dead person?If the young couple doesn't get along well in the future and they want to find a matchmaker to mediate the conflict, why not scare two and a half souls away? The matchmaker, in the end, Zha Wenbin managed to solve it. He asked the village bamboo craftsman to tie a life-sized shell, pasted paper on the outside, pasted some paper clothes and colorful gowns, and asked someone to make a shell. The wig was poked in the middle of the mourning hall, and red cheeks and a grinning face were specially painted on.

People who don't know at first glance really thought it was an old lady standing there. There is no "Dian" character that is commonly seen in funeral ceremonies here, but "囍" characters cut out of white paper can be seen everywhere. Because there is no elder in the family anymore, this traditional "dragon and phoenix post" was written by Cha Wenbin himself. After writing it in the name of Chen Fang, it was placed in the ancestral hall where Xiaodie's family used to worship ancestors. Chen put down the proposal. Of course, Cha Wenbin doesn't care whether the ancestors of Xiaodie's family agree or not, he just takes it as yes.Then they sent someone to bring in two paper boxes, which contained the betrothal gift from the man to the woman, that is, the bride price.

Among these betrothal gifts, half of the first box contained real silk and some common grain seeds, and the other half contained one piece each of papered leather, cotton, clips, and single clothes. The second box contains two pairs of brocade boxes, which contain jewelry such as earrings, bracelets, rings and hairpins.Although they were all cheap, the people in the village didn't want their wedding to be too shabby. Xiaodie, who had been wronged all her life, would come up with such an outfit no matter what. There are also some gold and silver ingots made of gilded tinfoil, with a thick layer of ghost coins under them. These are the betrothal gifts Chen Fang gave to Xiaodie's family.

Similarly, Cha Wenbin also prepared dowry things for Xiaodie, and the contents were not much different from this one. They were all paper stuff, and a group of young people with high flames and no recoil carried these things around. Walking around the coffins of the two of them a few times, it was a comfort to both parties. Except for the set of jewelry, the others were immediately carried to the open space in the middle of the ancestral hall. When a fire was lit, the two coffins reflected the trembling flames, and ashes scattered in every corner of the ancestral hall. At this time, Zha Wenbin personally pasted two large white flower balls, also made of paper, under the two coffins, with a small talisman paper on the bottom, on which were written "groom" and "bride". In addition, there are two birth dates. In front of the two coffins was another altar. In addition to two bowls of toutou rice and raw eggs, there were also fruit plates such as dragon and phoenix wedding cakes on the table. Offerings were placed in the four corners of the yard, including pig heads and fruits. The incense candles were unbroken, and Cha Wenbin specially sent someone to take care of these things.There is another table and two stools in each corner. There are two bowls of tea on the table. The table and stools are not for the busy living people, but for the ghosts who come to the wedding. In ordinary weddings, the guests who are invited to eat and drink are relatives and friends, but in ghost marriages, the guests invited are naturally people from that world, and the "banquet" must be organized to suit the tastes of that world. In front of each stool, some lime will be sprinkled, and the same is true on the table. Those who are timid will not dare to move, why?The messy footsteps in front of the stool and the dripping tea on the table are really not their fault, but "them"! Zha Wenbin will naturally grasp this kind of measure. He is being polite and holds a banquet for Chen Da. The most important thing in this ghost marriage is to worship the heaven and the earth, this is to see the real ability, only the couple who have worshiped the heaven and the earth, that is the real couple, how to worship?You have to worship under the witness of relatives and friends!That's why Cha Wenbin invited this group of lonely souls and wild ghosts to have a feast. There must be someone to witness the marriage, and these guys are the witnesses. The climax of the ghost marriage is approaching. At this time, everyone in the ancestral hall, whether they are helping or joining in the fun, are all driven out.If there are living people left, this matter can really not be done. After clearing the place, someone stood guard at the exit of the ancestral hall, with the word "囍" pasted on the gate, standing there like soldiers on guard.These people are there to prevent strangers from coming in. The most important thing is that among the few people here, there is a very tall man with a full face and a fierce look in his eyes. This person is Da Shan.There is also a young man who is fooling around, the kind of cynicism flashed in the shrewdness is obviously not a character that can come out of our small mountain village, this person is Chaozi.There is also a stable and mature young man with vicissitudes and vicissitudes. From the day he came, he didn't talk much, and Ruthless never needed words to prove his strength. Just these three buddies poked there, and the people watching the excitement saw that they couldn't get any money, so they all scattered around, and those who peeked on the hillside were really out of control, and the Chinese never disliked it. There is not enough excitement, just not enough to watch. The ceremony officially started. Cha Wenbin tied a red thread to the small note in front of the two coffins. There is no red hijab, no phoenix crown and Xiapei, no tall horses, and no loud drums.Yes, they were just handfuls of paper money that Zha Wenbin raised casually. Two small wine glasses were placed on the table in front of the coffin, each filled with a cup of wine, not much, but just right. At this time, Cha Wenbin took out two chickens from the cage that had been prepared, one was a big red-haired rooster, and the other was a hen that hadn't laid eggs yet. He quickly tied the threads in his hand to the necks of the two chickens, and tied the other end to the middle red rope on the two coffins. This chicken is a living thing, it will run around, and people have no way to control animals, so Cha Wenbin thought of a way to starve the two chickens for a whole day in advance, and now put them under their feet Holding a plate with rice in it, the chicken immediately pecked at the rice obediently. Zha Wenbin took out two more incense sticks, inserted them in front of the two coffins and lit them respectively.The incense was burning normally, but as Cha Wenbin gradually chanted the incantation, the incense started to float to the head of the coffin. Then he opened his eyes slightly and saw that everything was almost ready, so Cha Wenbin said to the empty ancestral hall: "Please come here today, I want you to be a witness to the new couple, everyone eat and drink well Ah!" Then he made a bow towards the empty ancestral hall, and a careful person would notice that there were messy fingerprints on some tables at this time, there were traces of footsteps on the ground in front of the stools, and there were even teacups The sound of collision. Then, Cha Wenbin held up a small stick with an earthworm tied to it, walked up to the two chickens, and suddenly shouted: "Bow to the heavens and the earth!" Then the stick in his hand shook to the sky, and then How could the two chickens be willing to let go of such delicious food, and immediately poked their necks up, and then Cha Wenbin quickly threw the earthworm to the ground, and the two chickens lowered their heads at the same time. During this probing and lowing, he completed a kowtow motion of worshiping heaven and earth. I am afraid that only those who know how to do this kind of trick can come up with it. Then there is a pile of spirit cards that have been covered in cobwebs and rotten in the ancestral hall. After all, these "people" are Xiaodie's ancestors, and they can only serve as the high hall today. In the same way, after the husband and wife made obeisance, Cha Wenbin quickly grabbed the two chickens that were still fighting for earthworms, and each stabbed their necks fiercely, and the blood of the chickens gushed out immediately. By this point, the chickens had done their job and were now doing their last ditch in the yard. The hot rooster blood just out of the oven has always been a good remedy to ward off evil spirits, but today it is used for other purposes. how to use?But Zha Wenbin dipped a drop of rooster blood with his finger, dripped it on the old coffin, and the blood slowly fell down.At the same time, the hen's blood was also put 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. What made people feel worried was that the blood beads would lose control and fall to the ground at some point. Looking at the long incense stick, it was more than half a stick burned. Cha Wenbin unhurriedly held a talisman paper in his right hand and the evil spirit bell in his left. "When", after a crisp sound, the two blood beads began to shake for the first time. "Dang", this was the second time Cha Wenbin shook the evil spirit bell in his hand, at this moment the blood beads began to slowly roll towards the middle along the red rope. When the blood beads are walking towards the middle, the direction of the fragrance is also gradually moving closer to the middle. Those paper figures and paper horses in the yard seem to come to life in an instant. Waiting for this last holy moment. For some reason, Xiaodie's blood beads stopped suddenly when they were about to meet Chen Fang's. There was a very small drop of blood behind Fang's head, coming slowly, needless to say, this was Yu'er. I don't know how Chen Fang felt when he found out that he had such a daughter. A woman who had been silently waiting for him for decades and his own flesh and blood were in this ancestral hall where the wind was blowing and snakes were running around. , just waiting for him like that, but he never took half a step in. Do you regret it?It's true that he didn't know, but if he had known that Xiaodie was dead, Chen Fang might not have lived to be in his eighties.Xiaodie has always been the hope in his heart, holding on to this hope, he was able to linger on in that dilapidated ancestral house; with this hope, he was able to bear the two major crimes in such turbulent years. Under such circumstances, he can still survive. Zha Wenbin somewhat understood why Chen Fang would make a sound of panic when he turned on the light. He was afraid.He is afraid that someone will walk into his life, and he is afraid that others will tell him that it has been so many years and there is no hope. So he began to avoid the crowd, and even developed to avoid the light. Only in that dark and lonely small room can he become the same Chen Fang decades ago, and he will continue to guard his dream, the woman, and the follow their agreement. Is this moment too late? No, as long as lovers get married, it's never too late. "Dang!" When the evil bell in Cha Wenbin's hand rang for the third time, the two half drops of blood quickly merged into one, and the two different blood began to chase each other together, and finally "tick", fell into the bowl below that had already been filled with rootless water. What is amazing is that the two strands of incense just went out at this moment, and with the bending of the ashes, the last wisp of smoke perfectly twisted into a strand in the air, and quietly dispersed toward the top of the ancestral hall... At this point, the part of the ghost marriage can be considered to be over, but the matter of Cha Wenbin is not over.Xiaodie's bones have already rotted away, and he will build a couple's tomb for them tomorrow. This kind of joint burial is different from the ones he usually sees. In short, there is a lot of emphasis here. If they want to let the two of them go away completely after death When you get together, you have to go through that process. Cha Wenbin quickly pushed open the door, then took out a handful of rice mixed with tea in his pocket and threw it at the door, shouting: "See off!" This is to make those "friends" who come to the wedding leave quickly.After a while, he patted the shoulders of the three people guarding the door a few times, which was considered to be a bad luck to the brothers standing guard. In fact, the three of them really didn't care, and they had never seen any scenes before. Originally, when I was so busy here, I could go back to rest and choose a time to bury the couple the next day.But after all, something happened, and it was not someone else, but a bachelor in our village, whose nickname was Statou. As his name suggests, this man is a prickly man who specializes in sneaky things. He has a big bald head all year round. He eats and drinks with anyone who does business, but he is absolutely not polite. If he thinks the food is not good , and will find fault with the master's family. In short, the reputation in our village is really bad. This person was kicked out very early that day. He just watched the excitement. He didn't believe in this stuff in his bones. In his words, everyone fell asleep on the mass graves, and he had never seen any ghosts. Come and trouble him.I don't know if I'm bragging, but this kid has indeed done some robbery and digging of ancient tombs, but our place has been very poor since ancient times, and he didn't let him take out a few valuable things. The prickly head had nothing to do anyway, so he took a few young ruffians from the village and squatted on the back hill to watch the excitement. In front of him were the big fish and meat that had just come out of the kitchen and the rickety wine bottles. It was impossible for him to do his best, but he focused on the set of jewelry that was used to accompany the funeral. In their words, this is called a mirror.Although Xiaodie's set of things is not very valuable, it is not a problem to exchange a few drinks, and this is two lonely graves with no descendants. If you don't do it yourself, isn't it cheaper for others? So, he stared at the inside of the ancestral hall on this mountain, for fear that those things would go missing.If you say that you should meet this person, then you can really meet something. When Zha Wenbin was busy, a yellow muntjac appeared out of nowhere behind the prickly head. It was the one that my father shot countless times without firing. The prickly people also know that this thing is a good thing, the leather is valuable, and the meat is delicious, but they don't have a knife or a gun in their hands, so they just grab it with bare hands? The prickly head didn't know what he was thinking, so he picked up a stone the size of a brick from the ground and threw it at the deer. Immediately, his brain burst and he died. This made the prickly head very happy, and immediately greeted the little ruffians and went home with the muntjac on their shoulders. Not to mention how many people know that this muntjac is quite evil, but he is indeed not afraid of anything like a prickly person, but being brave doesn't mean anything, and those who should come to the door will still come to the door. Sure enough, this group of ruffians skinned and boiled the fat prey that night, and after some nonsense, the eldest brother didn't even recognize the second brother. The next day, the news that the stabbing head had died spread everywhere in the village. The next morning, it was time for Zha Wenbin to prepare for Chen's burial, but before Zha Wenbin arrived, he saw several layers of people surrounded the ancestral hall.At first glance, good guy, everyone in Banla Village is here. Dashan and Chaozi pushed away the crowd, and when they saw that it was Cha Wenbin who was coming, they all consciously gave way.As soon as he stepped into the gate, Cha Wenbin felt that this was really bad. It turned out that last night, the last person to leave the ancestral hall was Cha Wenbin, and he remembered to close the gate tightly.Besides, this kind of thing was being done in such a place, and he really never thought that someone would break in in the middle of the night. who?That prickly head, the prickly old lady is lying on the ground crying for her father and mother, with such energy, she can't wait to rush up and lift off the coffin board, she keeps shouting for Chen Fang and Xiaodie to return her son life comes. What's going on here? A few frightened little ruffians were trembling by the side of the haystack at this moment, covering their faces with their hands, as if they were terrified. Under the reminder of others, Chao Zi took the lead to enter the room in the west wing. There was a noose on the beam, and there was a person hanging from the noose. This person was the stab head. Chaozi retreated silently, and reported the situation inside to Cha Wenbin, who also frowned.It's true that Xiaodie was wronged and died as a ghost, but yesterday she was married in the dark, even if there was a big evil spirit, she should have gone away with the incense stick last night.Furthermore, Xiaodie is a weak woman, and her aura is not the type to put people to death. He felt that there must be something strange about this matter. First, the villagers were asked to remove the already stiff corpse of the thorn head. The thorn head's old mother refused to take the dead body home, saying that he was killed here, and the people here must give an explanation. Who do you have to talk to?Looking for Fluttershy?I'm afraid Xiaodie is willing to talk to you, old lady, you dare not talk to her! Soon someone noticed something strange, someone found a pair of earrings in the thorn's hand.This pair of earrings is recognized by everyone in the village. It was a betrothal gift given to Xiaodie by Cha Wenbin yesterday on behalf of Chen Fang. This pair of earrings was placed in a red cloth bag in front of Xiaodie's coffin. It was planned to be opened to Xiaodie today. Put them in the coffin together. The news that the stabbing head came to steal the things used by the dead and then was killed quickly spread in this small ancestral hall.In addition, the things that they do on a daily basis are really unpopular, like rats crossing the street, many people are still applauding secretly in their hearts. When this thorny old woman heard others say that about her son, her old face became more and more unbearable. She was angry, hated, annoyed, and sad. She was struggling to bump into Xiaodie's coffin. live. Although this Cha Wenbin is not from our village, he is indeed the person in charge of this matter. Seeing such a big mess, it would be impossible not to intervene. The old lady at the head carried it out of the ancestral hall like a chicken, and said: "Which family is related to her, take it back first and take care of it." How could the prickly old lady be willing to leave? She scolded Cha Wenbin for being an accomplice, and begged Cha Wenbin to help his son to seek justice.In the end, the village chief couldn't stand it any longer, and sent someone to forcefully pull her back. When the thornhead died, there was a terrified expression on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were wide open. Anyone who died like this must have encountered something extremely unimaginable during his lifetime.There weren't too many scars on his body, except for the faint purple circle around his neck caused by strangulation marks, there were a lot of candle oil on his face and burns on his hands. Cha Wenbin immediately grabbed those ruffians on the ground, and all they could say were "Damn it, damn it" and the like. When people are extremely nervous, they will fall into a short-term nervous breakdown state, which is what happened to these ruffian brothers now.They are usually sluggish, but now they look like they've peed their pants. There were still a lot of people watching in the yard, and Cha Wenbin also called the family members of these ruffians together, and everyone found a fairly clean side room, built a fire, and Cha Wenbin took out a red sandalwood from his arms The censer came, and something was put in it. After a while, the whole room smelled fragrant, and the ruffians recovered a little bit, and began to stammer and restore what happened last night. It is said that the prickly head went back to eat the meat, drank some more wine, and immediately made a decision: "Go get the tombstone right now, so as not to have to dig someone's coffin later, no matter what, that lunatic Chen Fang is also from the same village! " "Brother Stab, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's not good?" a ruffian said. The stab head didn't know if he had drunk too much alcohol, or if he was in the right place, he slapped the little ruffian on the head and cursed: "I'm not afraid of digging people's ancestral graves, I can use this little pocket money to help them get rid of disasters in the future. So as not to suffer again!" In this way, this group of people took advantage of the night to reach the outside of the ancestral hall. This place is very scary on weekdays, let alone on a special day like today.When people came here, looking at the words "囍" pasted on the gate, they woke up more than half of the wine.Everyone pulled the thorn head one after another, persuading him that this is really impossible, it's too shameful. But the stabbing head just refused to listen, and with a "bang", the door was kicked open by him. There was a gloomy wind, and the room was full of white flags, blowing and stirring. The group of people nestled at the door did not dare to pass, but Sting Tou strode in like a normal person. He knew where those artifacts were placed, so his direction was not wrong, people outside only saw that Jitou stood still in front of Xiaodie's coffin for a long time. Then he began to stroke his hair constantly, just like the action of a woman combing her hair, and her body was different from before, with a graceful and feminine taste, and became curvy. Then, they saw that the thorn head kept repeating an action similar to washing his face. After a long time, this action was still going on. The ruffians outside began to feel that something was wrong, so they were going to go in and pull him home. After entering the door, they heard a woman laughing idiotically, this laughter was a bit creepy.The feet of the ruffians immediately froze. They didn't know whether to continue walking or escape immediately, as if the parts below the calf were no longer listening to themselves. But in reality, there is no longer any time for them to continue thinking about their own fate. The stabbing head moved, and turned around in an extremely charming movement, with the orchid fingers resting on the ear, and the waist wished to be twisted before he would give up. Is this still a stab? Apparently, he couldn't recognize it anymore, because this person's face was covered with a thick layer of white candle oil. He just kept grabbing the newly melted candle oil and then kept applying it on his face. What's even more bizarre is that he hasn't forgotten to light a fake red dragon and phoenix candle, and use the burnt red wax as rouge. This guy used white candles as foundation and red candles as rouge. When a few scoundrels watched his hands being sizzled by the hot candle oil but still smiled charmingly, everyone collapsed immediately. But when they turned around and tried to run again, they found that the door kicked open by the thorn had been closed. The more people are at this time, the easier it is to be in a hurry, and a few big men can't open this door together. Desperation and infinite fear pervaded everyone's hearts. They looked at the thorny head dressed up there enchantingly. Finally, he picked up the pair of earrings, but the thorny head did not go through the ear hole. How could he wear such things? get on? In this way, they saw the stabbing head slowly walking towards the west wing, where a woman once committed suicide by hanging herself. No one dares to stop it, and no one dares to look at it. When the fear reaches a certain level, it will only make people instinctively protect themselves. This is how it can scare people to death! After hearing these narrations, Zha Wenbin was also shocked. Could it be that Xiaodie did it?Although he was 10,000 unwilling to believe that Xiaodie would take someone's life, but now it seems that this is probably a state of a female ghost taking her life. Chaozi looked at these rats without any sympathy, and asked, "What else did you do before?" "I didn't do anything, I just hid in the back mountain to watch things." A ruffian stammered. Chaozi lifted his collar and asked fiercely, "Does it look good?" "It looks good, no, it doesn't look good." Cha Wenbin firmly believed that Xiaodie would not do such a thing, so he said: "Okay, this matter is a bit strange, I have to figure it out." The group of people were picked up by the family one after another, and one of the ruffians said: "By the way, we also caught a muntjac in the back mountain, and Brother Sting Tou stoned him to death." It was this sentence that made many old people present tremble, thinking: You can touch this thing too! There is one thing described in many TV dramas or novel fragments before death or when people are buried, and that is crows. The crow is also called the mourning bird in the folk, and it is a very unlucky animal. It will be considered to bring great bad luck if it lands on the roof or the big tree in the yard.Some people also think that they are a kind of psychic animal, which is the endorsement of the people in that world to send signals to this world. In fact, this deer is equivalent to the role of this endorsement in our village. Every time it barks, it is sure to kill people.It doesn't matter if it's a coincidence or it really happened, anyway, this kind of thing that may cause trouble for oneself is generally beyond the reach of elderly people, let alone taking its life and eating its flesh up. My father mentioned the weirdness of this muntjac to Cha Wenbin, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Now it seems that it is really not that simple. Before a person dies, Yin Cha is probably already waiting by the side, and only waits to take the person away the moment he dies.So how does Yincha grasp the time limit of each person's life and death, appear accurately, and take people away? In addition to your destiny, which is written in the book of life and death, there is another thing that is similar to an intelligence agency.This deer is their intelligence agent.As long as it calls, you know that someone is going to die in this land. Some old people nodded their heads immediately after hearing this kind of thing, but even Cha Wenbin himself was not sure about this stuff.First of all, animal psychic things are seen less and listened to more; second, this thorn head has indeed reached the end of his life and has to die, he deserves to die here, because the business he usually does is indeed a short life work. Those who make money from the dead must either have the horoscope on their body really hard enough, or the patriarch protects them with something to cover their hands.Otherwise, either they will be buried in some pit and never come out, or brothers will kill each other, and most of the rest who can come out will contract some strange diseases or die unexpectedly. In this industry, although you can get rich overnight, how many people can really spend this money with peace of mind? The death of the stabbing head was finally defined as suicide. It was not that Cha Wenbin was unwilling to take action, but that his soul had been exhausted.Some people have done all the bad things in life, and there will still be a place to settle the debt for him after death. Even if his old mother was unwilling, it couldn't overcome the disgust of the whole village towards him. The body was transported home with the help of a few kind-hearted people, and the matter was temporarily over. After a busy morning, Cha Wenbin saw that the time had come, so he sent someone to light the firecrackers, and the suona gongs and drums spontaneously formed by the village made a loud noise. The two coffins, one behind the other, were carried to the ancestral grave of Chen Fang's family. Chen Fang found acupuncture points for himself before his death, and this land is also their family's ancestral grave.After all, it is a desolate family, and the few bare mounds have already been covered with thatch, which is desolate except for desolation. The people in charge of digging the pit had already dug the pit well in advance, and the burial of ghost marriage is another science. Zha Wenbin saw that the pit was mostly loess, and the soil was rarely mixed with hard rocks. Looking at the surrounding areas, there was no area where heavy rain could form streams. Although the old graves were a little desolate, they were still solid. , I don't see any scourge of insects and ants. Looking at the feng shui again, the terrain of this land is relatively open, and there are stretches of forests behind it, and roads and rivers ahead. Although it is not a good cave, it is considered that ordinary people can find such a place. It's not easy anymore. Zha Wenbin nodded in satisfaction, then took out a thick layer of yellow paper from his bag, and carefully spread a whole layer on the bottom of the pit.Then take out seven copper coins and press them on the yellow paper according to the arrangement of the seven stars. This is called the seven-star line! After finishing it, he asked Chaozi to take a pot of spirits, sprinkle it on the yellow paper carefully, then light the fire and throw it into the pit, and with a "boom", the bottom of the entire pit was connected There was a sea of ​​flames, the flames were so high that the seven copper coins were burned red immediately. This, we commonly call it "warm kang".In our place, in order to avoid offending others with some words, the tomb is also called "Kang".The warmed kang is for the newcomers to live in. Although they have no descendants, it will also make the auspiciousness in the tomb come faster. After Cha Wenbin gave an order, Chen Fang's coffin was put in first, and then a few handfuls of loess were sprinkled inside symbolically, and then ordered to carry Xiaodie's coffin and walk around Chen Fang's ancestral grave three times. . Xiaodie's coffin was placed in front of Chen Jiazu's grave at this time. Cha Wenbin took out three incense sticks and inserted them on the head of Xiaodie's coffin, lit them, and quietly walked to the side. This is the daughter-in-law of your Chen family. Today I came to recognize my ancestors and return to the clan. I hope that your spirits in heaven can accommodate this new member of the family. 那三根香，其实意思就是让小蝶给陈家祖先们上的，这也叫认门，以后这就是你的家了。 查文斌又走到一个坟包前头抓了一把最上面的黄土，拿了回来用一个红布包好，放在了一边，这东西等下是要和小蝶的尸骨放在一起的，算是他们陈家给小蝶的见面礼。有了这一层关系，小蝶才算是真正的陈家媳妇儿。 接下来，最重要的时刻到来了，那就是洗骨和拾金。 洗骨，顾名思义就是替骨头上去除脏东西；拾金，便是把这骨头从棺木里移出来。虽然是冥婚，但是结婚的一对新人，你总得让人睡在一个“炕”上吧。 开棺之前，小蝶的棺木上头已经做好了遮阴的准备，这人死之后再开棺是见不得光的。取下铆钉，几人合力掰开这厚重的棺材板，里面也只剩下了包裹在一件已经风化了的淡蓝色旗袍里头的白骨，让人看了不免唏嘘起来。 地上铺着的是棕榈，查文斌把那粘在小蝶骨骸上的衣服碎片轻轻扯去之后，再缓缓放到这棕榈之上，到了腹部那个位置，有经验的人当即就再也忍不住号啕大哭起来。这棺内果然是一尸两命，一个尚未成形的娃娃头骨还没腐烂完毕。 待这些骨头都被清理出来之后，查文斌再把那些陪葬用的首饰连同那包红土用棕榈一捆，带到了陈放的棺木前。 接下来，要做的就是开启陈放的棺木了，他的棺材铆钉是没有钉死的，拂去上面的黄土，很快他的棺木就被打开了。 陈放的脸部出现的那一刻，所有人都诧异了，这个几十年都没见过的人，死后脸上竟然还挂着一丝淡淡的笑，那种笑就让人感觉是从内心深处发出的。 查文斌把小蝶的尸骨全部放在了陈放的胸口，然后让他的双手抱着自己心爱的女人，缓缓让人合上了棺材，说道：“以后，你们就是真正的夫妻了。” 冥婚到此，才算是真正完结了。一桩跨越了时间、阴阳的婚约，在坚守了几十年的约定之后，却还是如此这般地实现了。 这也算是把一桩丧事变成了喜事。那天晚上，我又梦见了雨儿，只不过这一次她的身边多了一个人，那个平时被我喊成疯子的陈放，小蝶姑娘和陈放站在她的身后，她用力地向我挥手告别。 或许，她是在告别一个“玩伴”；又或许，她要告别的是整个世界。 从那时候起，我已经能看到一些平常人看不到的稀奇古怪的东西，比如在我爷爷死的那一年，也就是第二年，查文斌把我带了回去。 可能是我们实在没有那个缘分，我好像天生对他学的那类东西不是很感兴趣，除了崇拜他的宝剑和那只可爱的蝌蚪外，其他的，对于我来说，接触的时间都还是太早了。 而查文斌呢，在经过一个夏天耐心而深感失望的教导后，终于又把我送回了老家，后来就是很久没有得到他的消息，他总是这般突然消失了很久，又突然出现，没有人知道他是去干吗了，连同他一起消失的还有他的那帮兄弟。
