Chapter 17 4. Yin marriage

Erbatou studied "Zhafei Shu" all day long, and discussed it with his grandfather from time to time. Grandpa appreciated his ideas very much. Sometimes when everyone drank together, grandfather would praise him in front of other Batou.Erbatou always dealt with the dead, paper money, incense, and cinnabar, so that we can always smell the funeral smell on his body, which seems to be impossible to wash off.So when visiting brothels, the girls don't like to get close to him very much. Only at this time, other Batou will feel psychologically balanced. Erbatou was playing zhafei, and once he stuck himself.Speaking of which, it's really strange...

In the twenty-fifth year of the Republic of China, the daughter of a shopkeeper of a commoner shop died because of love.She fell in love with a progressive young man, the kind of educated youth who stood on the street every day and gave out leaflets to give speeches. The old shopkeeper was afraid that this kind of person would cause trouble, and he was too poor, so he refused to agree to this marriage.The girl begged his father, but the old shopkeeper just didn't nod.The girl discussed with the man, and wanted the man to talk to his father in person, and if it didn't work, she knelt down to his father until he agreed.As a result, the man became stubborn and said: "There is gold under the man's knees. I will kneel to the sky, kneel to the ground, and kneel to my parents. I will not kneel to other people!"

The woman said with tears, "He will also be your father-in-law in the future." The man said: "Not now, he looks down on me, belittles me, and belittles the pure love between us! He is a comprador bourgeoisie!" The woman said: "Then let's elope. Let's go, go far away, go to the ends of the world, and no one will find us again!" The man said: "Why do you have to leave? A man has always been aboveboard in his work! How can you do things that are mediocre!" The woman said, "Aren't you trying to force me to death?" The man said: "If you die, I will die immediately. We cannot be husband and wife in life, but we must be together in death."

When the man said this, he didn't expect the girl to take it seriously.That night, the girl left a suicide note and threw herself into a well in the middle of the night.When the body was picked up, his entire face was swollen from suffocation. The old shopkeeper didn't cry to death, he felt ashamed of his daughter, but she was already dead, so he decided to hold a funeral for her!The people around were discussing quietly: "This kind of sudden death is not suitable for a big funeral. It is best to have a yin marriage, which is also worthy of the dead girl." At that time, yin marriage was a very popular funeral arrangement, which meant that if an unmarried young man and woman died, he (she) would be alone in the underworld, and if he or she had no companion, he or she would become a lonely ghost At this time, it is necessary to find a companion and bury the two together so that the deceased can rest in peace.Of course, such opportunities for joint burials are not available at all times. Some of the deceased waited for several years before a new dead of the opposite sex of the same age appeared.

Erbatou smelled this information and knew it was an opportunity to make a fortune.He asked his grandfather for instructions, and after analyzing the matter carefully, his grandfather allowed Erbatou to take the lead. So the informant began to tease the shopkeeper, saying that there was a Taoist priest who could conjure up souls, and the girl died wronged, her soul was wandering, and she had to do a ritual to conjure up her soul, so that her soul could be stabilized, and then a yin marriage would be "consummated". The old shopkeeper was full of guilt, and quickly accepted this suggestion.This is actually a "thousand". If you come directly to the door to get married, you are afraid that people will be suspicious. Erbatou's appearance as a Taoist leader will give people a sense of trust.

Er Batou said to the old shopkeeper: "Before I became a monk, my family was very good. I had a younger brother who died of illness at the age of 18. My younger brother was also single all these years. marriage." Seeing hope, the old shopkeeper asked Erbatou: "Who else is in the Taoist priest's family? What's your parents' opinion?" Erbatou said: "My parents passed away one after another due to excessive depression. Now I am the only one left. That's why I see through the world, donate ten thousand pieces of furniture, and devote myself to becoming a monk."

The old shopkeeper felt that the family was right for him, so he said: "The chance of the Taoist priest really saved the old man!" In fact, Erbatou didn't have any younger brothers at all. He sent the little feet to find a lonely grave in the barren mountains and mountains that had been in disrepair for a long time and no one worshiped. The coffin was carried to the home of the old shopkeeper.This is really cheating to the devil's head! In fact, ordinary Taoist priests would not dare to accept this kind of violent death as a dojo, especially a woman who died in the middle of the night. It is said that they are all going to become ghosts, but Ah Bao and others are not afraid.

On the night of the wedding, Erbatou took a dozen little feet to do things.A bright red coffin was placed in the yard, which contained the remains of his so-called "brother".The girl's body was lying on the wooden couch in a shroud, and they were buried together in the coffin after the rites were done. Erbatou lit incense, took the finished talisman, and pasted it all over the girl's body.Then he dangled around with disheveled hair, muttering something. The moon was just brightening in the sky, and suddenly a black shadow climbed into the big tree in the yard with a whoosh.Everyone was startled, and when they saw it, a wild cat ran from nowhere, climbed to the top of a tree, lay down on a branch, and looked down with green eyes.

Erbatou continued to practice.At this time, a domestic dog that the girl had raised before her death crawled out of the kennel, quietly walked to the wooden couch where the girl's body was parked, and lay down on its stomach. Erbatou once discussed the "Zhafei Secret Book" with his grandfather. There is a sentence in it: "Clouds cover the moon, cats and dogs' corpses are on the same line, and the corpses will be deceitful!" One thing to pay attention to is that when the moon is covered by clouds, if the heart of a cat, the heart of a dog, and the heart of a dead person are on the same line, the phenomenon of fraudulent corpse will occur.The fraudulent corpse is the sudden resurrection of the corpse, jumping up, chasing and biting like a ghost, it is very terrifying.

The ritual was still going on, and when he walked around the corpse, he suddenly found the dog under the corpse bed. An ominous premonition filled his whole body. He looked at the cat on the treetop, staring at it with ghostly eyes. Looking at all this, the three hearts seem to be in a straight line.He patted Erbatou on the shoulder, just as he was about to remind him, a cloud moved, and he watched the moon sink into the cloud. Before Erbatou could react, the female corpse sat up abruptly, opened her eyes suddenly, opened her mouth wide, and rushed towards Erbatou.Erbatou was stunned, and was so frightened that he dropped the mahogany sword and ran out. The female corpse seemed to recognize someone, yelling, holding both hands, and ran towards Erbatou.

A few little feet hurriedly picked up the stick and chased up from behind, and beat the female corpse's back hard. The female corpse was hit by the stick several times, and finally couldn't hold it anymore. He was completely dead, but he did not rest in peace, his eyes fixed on Erbatou. After the grandfather knew this, he immediately told Erbatou: "Don't do this game! The sky is angry! We fight people, not ghosts!" At that time, medicine was not so developed. Everyone didn't know that people would occasionally recover after death. Grandpa thought it was God's anger. Later, the little feet brought back the coffin containing the unknown body, and the old shopkeeper did not ask for a joint burial, and buried his daughter alone. The grandfather ordered Xiaojiao to carry the coffin and the bones to the back mountain, built a new grave, buried the bones, burned a lot of paper money, and put the pig's head meat and rice wine on the table in front of the grave, as ancestors When the master led all the brothers to bow three times, a dark wind blew up, paper money and soot floated up together, flying high...
