Chapter 370 Ghost marriage (5)
The "man" wore a Chinese-style gown and a man's jacket and a round-edged hat, while the "woman" wore a long white soft satin dress, a beaded garland, a four-meter gauze, white gloves, and white soft satin leather embroidered shoes."
The two mummies who were not able to see their gender but were neatly dressed each had a big red flower on their chests, and the ribbons were attached to the bottom and they were written with the words "groom, bride". Under the swaying candlelight, the situation in the "new house" became increasingly dark and strange.
The most terrifying thing is that the "bride" actually had a blood stain on her mouth and had not yet dried. It is probably eight out of ten of them that were Lin Shan's tongue.
Could it be that this person is also a corpse-loving person. Seeing the mummy in the house, he couldn't help but feel the desire in his heart and tried to "force kiss" the female corpse, but ended up being transformed and bitten off the tongue by the female corpse?
At present, it seems that only this statement can match the reason why Lin Shan was bitten on his tongue. It is really a nerve-wracking person who encountered a "one" nerve-wracking corpse.
And I also understood the reason why ghosts worship Wenchangben. This old man is just a superficial thing to do, but what he actually does is to match a ghost marriage.
Ghost marriage is not a strange thing. In fact, it is a means for family members to express grief for their deceased relatives. However, ghost marriage is completely different. This is a very extreme method. Men and women are unwilling to separate until death, and they must become married couples in the underworld, so they will find someone with "supernatural powers" to get ghost marriage.
This method is fundamentally the same as the burial of living people used by ancient kings. The only difference is that the former willingly buried his lover with his lover, while the latter was forced to be buried with the powerful and nobles of the dynasty.
The book of Fengshu has a detailed description of ghost marriage. Ghost marriage was first seen in the seven heroes of the Warring States Period. General Bai Qi killed more than 400,000 soldiers of Zhao State, one of which was named Yunyi. When he was killed, his fiancée was waiting for him to marry him. Yunyi knew that it was impossible to live again, so he handed over the token he carried with him to the soldiers of Qin State and begged these people to bring the message of their death to their lovers in their hometown.
His behavior really moved his opponent, so after occupying Zhao State, the news was finally delivered to the girl who was waiting for her lover. As a result, the girl committed suicide on the spot and met her lover in the dark.
After the legend of adding jealousy, this incident became a sad love story. Later, it was known by Xu Fu, the "god" who was famous all over the world at that time. So he rushed to Zhao State to marry this lover who could not live together during his lifetime, and let the two become husband and wife in the underworld.
But the "Wind Book" does not record the specific "marriage" method. Could it be that I was fortunate to see the most strange event in the world in this place? Thinking of this, I plucked up the courage to push the door open, and a gust of cold air passed by. Two butter candles as thick as human arms in the room were flashing with yellow light as big as soybeans. It should have been lit last night, and the candles did not burn much. At this speed, it is estimated that there will be no problem in burning for two or three days.
A pair of "newcomers" in the room were sitting dignifiedly on the chair. If you only look at the backs, the long-lived lock card hanging on the neck of the female corpse broke. At this time, I noticed that the female corpse's hands were curved.
This means she has moved.
Seeing this flaw, I felt a little excited, and I felt goosebumps all over my body as if I had passed the electricity.
However, my courage is indeed much greater than before. Although I feel scared, I will not escape.
Although ghost marriage is a strange thing on earth, it is also a secret method. The layout of the room and the soul-suppressing magic weapon for the newcomer's body are all of them. As a person in the Xuanmen, I naturally have to take the opportunity to study it carefully. So I plucked up the courage to take a closer look at the "newcomer's body" and saw two corpses with long golden nails inserted on the wrists, and a golden nail was inserted across their cheeks. This should prevent the dead body from opening their mouths or taking action.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel strange. I had already used the corpse-squeezing nail, so why could this female corpse move and even bit off Lin Shan's tongue? Is the long life lock the key to the corpse-squeezing? If he moved the gold medal, it would be equivalent to breaking the corpse-squeezing bureau?
The more I think about it, the more I feel it makes sense. This shows that Wenchang must have been a native of the Xuanmen, but his nephews did not understand the tricks of corpse suppression at all.
Many readers have read novels about tomb robbery. The story tells a lot of methods of corpse suppression, but only the people in the Xuanmen know that the magical instruments used to restrain corpse transformation are all made of pure gold.
There are two reasons. First, because pure gold is the most stable element among all metals, so it will not be oxidized when exposed to the air. Second, because most tomb robbers do not understand Xuanmen magic. When they see pure gold items on the corpse, they will naturally think that they are used for burial. As long as they take off the gold weapon, they will cause the corpse to transform.
Once the corpse is transformed into a corpse, all the warm-blooded animals in the tomb will not escape death. The reason why the female corpse here does not undergo corpse transformation is because there is a "concentric knot" between her and the male corpse. Therefore, the magic weapon that suppresses the body of the male corpse can also have an effect on her. As long as I keep a certain distance from her and do not let the female corpse feel alive, it will not cause corpse transformation.
I finally relaxed my heart when I figured out this point and began to observe the layout of the house. The house was decorated in the style of a farmhouse in the northeast. There was a kang in the house and a small cabinet on the kang. A pair of bedding supplies were neatly stacked on the kang. The three walls of the house were painted with oil painted a landscape ink painting with green grass. The most obvious plant in the painting was the Brahma trees growing on the green grass. This meant that the two in the house had entered the fairyland of bliss and became a pair of fairy couples.
There is also a wall full of photos of the living, which is the most direct clue to understanding this ghost marriage.
People of their age rarely left photos when they were young, so the earliest photos were both in their prime, with handsome men and pure women. The background of the photos seemed to be the Temple of Heaven in the imperial capital. At that time, the two met each other and looked at their expressions, they seemed to be a lover, but they still did not dare to act intimately. The two deliberately kept a "safe distance".
In the years of love in my youth, the two only had a few photos of the group photos left behind. Then they got married, had children, and got married again. In short, more and more people in the photos, and the group photos finally became a family photo. Until later, both of them were old, and this love that spanned more than half a century finally came to an end.
The last photo of the old lady who had lost her body was leaning against her husband's arms. In front of her was a birthday cake. This photo was taken in the hospital bed. There were no outsiders, only two lovers who fell in love until old age. Although the old lady was so sick, her face covered with chicken skin was still full of happy smiles.
There are two sentences written on the photo, arranged in the shape of a character. The first two sentences are "Old woman, old man", and the next sentence is "I haven't loved enough in this life, can I continue in the next life?"
This sentence directly warmed my heart. Although I thought that the two of them would eventually be separated by yin and yang, they were still moved by the love between the two old people.
It seems that the couple in the room who are matched with ghost marriage is the loving couple in the photo.
Seeing this, I finally understood the biggest difference between ghost marriage and ghost marriage. Ghost marriage is the longing of family members for their deceased relatives, while ghost marriage is the unswerving love between husband and wife. Although there is a word ghost in it, it represents a true love that never leaves.
Thinking of this, I suddenly heard a "squeak" scream, and a big mouse climbed onto my legs along my leather upper.
Although I was not afraid of the rat demon at all, I subconsciously slapped it to the ground with my hands. The rat screamed and turned around and ran away.
I didn't think much about it, and I was still immersed in the warm feeling.
Suddenly, a slight "cry, creaking" sound came from behind me, as if someone was grinding his teeth.
This kind of sound suddenly came from this place. Could it be... Thinking of this, my little heart suddenly rose to my throat, and I carefully turned my head and looked behind me.
The "bride"'s shriveled dark brown face began to grow white hair, and her sharp teeth were stretched out from the corner of her mouth. The "bride" held a headless head in her left hand, but she twisted the body of the mouse, and blood foam flew everywhere in her mouth. A mouse's head and the belt bone could no longer be seen.
