It was only two hours later, and my house was suddenly bright red and decorated with lanterns and streamers. I was also pressed in front of the dressing table by the aunts and ladies. I put on bridal makeup and even wore the red clothes they wore when they got married.
Looking at the beautiful bride in the mirror, I felt that it wasn't me, but the living sacrifice to River Earl recorded in the ancient books. Those unmarried girls were all dressed up beautifully and thrown into the river to worship the gods. I didn't expect that in this information age, such feudal activities would still occur, and it happened to me.
Goddaozi said that he would host the netherworld marriage for me and Qin Shuixiu when the bridal procession arrives. I want to let the heavens, the earth, and the earth know that we are a legitimate couple. That way, I won't have to worry about the water ghosts harming me. I don't think anyone in the world will know about it, but it will definitely cause a sensation in the human world. Fortunately, this place was far from the city and there were no reporters or anything like that. Otherwise, my face would be thrown to the other side of the world.
The sky quickly darkened, and the cheerful sound of the suona came from the water bay. When I think of those paper figurines with red faces, they were the ones blowing suona. My hair stood on end.
Shen Daozi was in the courtyard trying to open an altar, saying that he wanted to invite the child under the moon to oversee the place, which was what people often said about issuing a certificate and registering. Everyone looked at him as he brandished his mahogany sword like he was performing acrobatics, spitting fire and jumping circles. He was even mumbling something,'Oh my god, oh my god, can you give me some face…'
Just as Shen Daozi finished reading, a strong wind suddenly blew, and the door of the courtyard slammed loudly. Then, the candles on the altar went out, and the lights stopped. There were only a few decorative red lanterns left. The light was very dim, but they could still see their shadows.
"Oh no, I'm afraid I invited someone I shouldn't have.”
As soon as Goddaozi finished speaking, a pitch-black coffin suddenly fell from the sky with a bang. The dark red lantern light shone on the coffin, making it look as if it had been stained with blood.
The courtyard instantly exploded. Everyone scattered and fled in all directions.
The large coffin was parked in front of the altar. I stood in the middle of the hall and watched this scene. I was so scared that my body froze. That useless Goddaozi actually squatted down and hid under the altar. He even kept gesturing at me to keep quiet.
Creak-Creak-
The coffin's lid tilted up bit by bit, making a terrifying sound.
Bang!
The lid of the coffin was completely overturned by the thing inside. Then, a large bronze hand that was wrinkled like tree bark stretched out from the coffin. The hand suddenly flew out of the coffin and swept away the things on the altar. The incense burner and wine jar fell to the ground with a loud bang. The god-gnawer squatted under the altar and held his head, trembling in fear.
"Hey!"
I didn't know where I got the courage to shout.
The hand stopped, and a shriveled corpse sat up from the coffin. The corpse shook its head, and its wrinkled skin gradually swelled up.
I kept repeating in my heart,'This guy isn't Qin Shuixiu, this guy isn't Qin Shuixiu.
After the dried corpse was completely revived, it was a middle-aged fatty. He was wearing brocade clothes and jade ornaments. He looked like a rich man from ancient times. He sized me up with his gray eyes for a long time, then revealed a set of gold-inlaid teeth.
"Beautiful wife, I'm here to pick you up." he said to me lecherously.
"If you're not the groom, who are you?" I asked.
"Hehe, I'll be your groom later. I'm the owner of the Luo family's ancient tomb.”Old Ghost said with ill intentions.
The Luo family's ancient tomb was a large tomb on a nearby mountain. Even grave robbers did not dare to enter. They said that it was haunted. He did not expect that this legend was actually true. People called him Old Ghost Luo, and strange things about him were still circulating in the village. When he was alive, he was a rich man and had married many concubines. However, after his death, none of his wives and concubines had disappeared.
"Don't do anything rash. My husband will be here soon. Let me tell you, he's not human either.”I warned.
"By the time he comes, it'll be too late. Why don't you take the opportunity to have fun with me now?”He glanced around and said," I haven't had meat in a long time. These people look delicious.”
God Dao Zi hid under the altar and kept bowing to me, meaning that I had to obey the old ghost. Then, he gestured again. He would think of a way to drag the water ghost as long as possible.
I glanced into the room. My parents were protecting a group of children from the neighbor's house.
"I…"
I was still hesitating when the ghostly hand suddenly flew towards me. It grabbed my clothes and pulled me into the coffin. Then, the coffin lid was closed tightly. The back of my hand touched the old ghost's body. It was as cold as copper skin, and his skin was wrinkled again.
I lay next to the dried corpse and anxiously patted the coffin lid, but there was no reaction at all. With a sway of his body, the coffin flew up. I cried and shouted, but no one paid attention to me. I didn't want to die yet. Rather than lying next to a dried corpse, I would rather marry a water ghost.
By the time I had run out of strength from crying, the coffin had fallen to the ground. The coffin lid flipped over, and the crisp echo startled me.
Old Ghost Luo came back to life, but he was still as cold as a piece of copper.
"Beautiful wife, this is my mansion.”he said.
It was a magnificent tomb with exquisite carvings on the walls and valuable antiques. Because of my major and the fact that I often go to some exhibition halls with my classmates, I still have a certain understanding of these things. There were many tomb passages inside, so there should be many more chambers.
I saw that old ghost Luo had no ill intentions towards me for the time being, and it was not easy to escape from such a large and complicated ancient tomb. She wanted to build a good relationship with him first and escape after she figured out the way.
"You're really rich." I flattered.
"If you obey me, everything here will be yours."”
I cursed in my heart,"Follow your sister!" What was the use of having these? They couldn't be used outside.
"Don't be so impatient, you devil.”I gritted my teeth and said," I'm not familiar with the place, so I didn't say anything about taking me to familiarize myself with the environment.”
"Beautiful wife, master can't wait any longer.”
Old man Luo said as he carried me up and walked into a very spacious catacomb. There was a large tomb chamber at the end of the tomb passage. It was actually decorated with bedroom furnishings. From the looks of it, that was Old Ghost Luo's bedroom, which was also the main tomb.
He put me on the bed. I cursed in my heart. I didn't know if he was thinking of a way. And the water ghost Qin Shuixiu, do you have the sincerity to marry me? The bride has been kidnapped by other ghosts. Even if he doesn't really want to marry me, he should at least come and greet his peers on account that I've called him godfather for more than ten years.
Seeing that old ghost Luo was about to pounce over, I had an idea in my hurry and came up with another delaying tactic.
"Master, you have to let me take off my makeup later, right?”I said perfunctorily," Don't you know that removing makeup is also a pleasure in the boudoir?”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:0131201912:42PM
