Ghost Husband Dotes On Me - C3
I didn’t speak all the way, but they led me along. I heard the woman say that there were a lot of relatives here, but I couldn’t see anyone.
Apart from the few of us, even the person in charge didn’t know where he was. The silence in the surroundings was terrifying. Only the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.
When I walked out of the corridor, I saw that the vats in the courtyard were all red, and the water in the vats was also red. This red seemed to be dyed red by cinnabar, not blood.
“We’re here.” At this moment, the leading man turned his head towards me and spoke for the first time.
My heart thumped, as if I had already arrived in front of the hall of the underworld. There was a large brocade flower on the door of the antechamber, and as soon as I saw the brocade flower, my heart sank, and a feeling of fear rose. This was because this flower was not of any other color. Rather, it was dark black like the night. It looked like a memorial tablet for the dead.
Beside the big brocade flower hung two lanterns, but the strange thing was that the lanterns were white. The weather was supposed to be hot, but now that they were at the side of the hall, they felt a slight chill. It was unknown where this chill came from, but a cold wind blew over them.
I turned to look at the fool, who was also rubbing his hands in the cold. He kept looking at me with concern, afraid that I would freeze, but I was surrounded by a few very strong men, so he couldn’t come forward.
“Alright, you can stay at the front of the hall. I’ll do the rest.” At this moment, a Taoist in a black robe walked out from the hall. I saw that the Taoist seemed to be holding a soul flag in his hand and a bunch of Five Emperors Coins in his other hand.
His tall hat was painted with some strange rune. Although I am not superstitious, but looking at his appearance that is not a formal Daoist attire, he looks like a swindler.
“Wait a moment …” Anyway, I have to buy time now, and who knows what’s waiting for me inside. After which, the scammer raised his head to look at me and raised his eyebrows. He seemed to be gloating while looking at me.
“I, I haven’t taken a bath yet. If I don’t take a bath when we get married, it would be very unlucky!” I thought about it, then said, although I didn’t think they’d actually drag me out for that reason. Maybe they’d even have to let me take a cold shower.
Who would have thought that after I finished speaking, she would look at me with disdain. “Unlucky?” As he said this, he looked up at the two big white lanterns hanging at the door. I immediately understood what he meant.
My real bridegroom right now isn’t this fool in front of me, but the eldest son of the Bai Clan who is already dead and probably turned to ashes.
It was at this moment that a man in black clothes walked out of the hall. I looked at him with a serious expression without the slightest excitement like the other woman. I recognized him as the head of the Bai Clan, the father of this fool.
“I think you should know what’s going on. I, Bai Zhengtian, can assure you that if you become the ghost of our Bai Clan, I will give you three incense sticks of time a day. I will also give you endless tribute, please protect my son.”
When I first heard his words, I couldn’t help but laugh. How could it be possible for me to protect his son after they killed me? Before he could finish his sentence, he heard the voice of the woman beside him, “Hmph, even if you don’t want to protect me, you still have to. This isn’t up to you!”
It was supposed to be a joyous day, but now everyone looked displeased. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed my hand, ignoring the big guys blocking his way. I immediately felt the heat coming from his palm, making my heart warm up. His palm was very big, and when he held my hand, I felt a sense of relief.
“You’re not allowed to scare my wife, and you’re not allowed to bully her!” That fool looked at his father with displeasure, but I noticed his gaze and didn’t turn from start to finish. That woman was also his stepmother.
“You’re right, I know everything, and I also know what you guys want to do this time, the back of your hands are all meat, although he’s a fool, but you can’t treat him like a container for other ghosts!”
“This is not another ghost, this is his brother, and I’m helping him, his intelligence is innate, there’s no way to change it. If there’s a sliver of hope for him to regain his intelligence, then I’m willing to give it a try.” the man said in a low voice.
“However, this method requires an Underworld Marriage, that’s why I came to find you. In a while, this master will nail your soul to our Bai Family’s mourning hall, and if you want to run away, you will have to be trapped in the Bai Family forever. But of course, if you become the ghost of the Bai Family, I will still follow what I said just now and worship you.”
After saying that, I wanted to retort, but that swindler directly brought something up to stop my mouth, causing me to be unable to shout out loud. Although the fool at the side wanted to stop them, he was pulled to the side by the two burly men.
I saw one of them press down the fool and the other pull out a huge mahogany coffin from the hall. It looked like it wasn’t just one person, but two.
“If the soul remains in the mortal world, there will be no turning back on the Road to River Styx! Open the coffin! ” After that swindler Taoist said this, that strong man opened the coffin lid and I immediately closed my eyes. I’ve never seen any dead people in my life, and I’ve heard that the eldest son of the Bai family has been dead for a long time. The one in his forearm has long since become a skeleton. After that, I waited for a long time, but no one pushed me in. Instead, I heard that fool struggling.
“Wuwuwu …” “Wife!” It was as if I was the only person he could rely on, so he kept calling for me. When I opened my eyes, I was surprised to see that the person was actually going to push him into the coffin. And I saw that the person inside the coffin was indeed a skeleton — that skeleton was wearing a red wedding robe that was exactly the same as the one on the fool’s body. But the only difference was that I saw a red dot drawn on the white bone’s forehead.
“In the Soul Suppressing Coffin, there is no need to rush to reincarnate! “The coffin …” At this time, the Daoist priest spoke again. The last word was very loud and the sound was very long. It was only when the two burly men covered the coffin’s lid did he stop.
And just as I was about to close the lid, I heard around me a very creepy kind of sugarcane sound, like the music people used to sing when they were married. I looked around and didn’t see anyone playing it.
At this moment, I didn’t know which part of the cloud had drifted up, but it started to drizzle and the cold wind gave me goosebumps. I worriedly looked at the mahogany coffin and thought, That fool won’t be so bored to death by them soon.
Afterwards, after worrying about that fool, I couldn’t help but start to worry about my own life because it was my turn now. I didn’t know what they were going to do to me.
“Lift the coffin!” The bride and groom will enter the hall! ”
Suddenly, I felt my scalp go numb. Am I married to that fool and that white bone in the coffin? My strength was already at its weakest, so I was pushed into the hall by the strong man behind me. As soon as I entered the hall, I immediately understood what that woman meant when she said all the relatives were here – there were many tables nearby, and on each table were three to five spirit tablets!
Good heavens, all the relatives he mentioned were already dead. Moreover, there was an incense burner on each table with three joss sticks stuck in it. I could only see that the one in the middle of the incense was burning the hottest.
Furthermore, the chilly wind in the hall made it seem as though we had entered a cellar. I felt that the light nearby had become very dark and there was always a breeze blowing from somewhere, heading in all directions towards me.
I had always thought that there wouldn’t be any ghosts in this world, but now that I look at them, I can’t help but doubt my previous understanding.
Could it be that this place is filled with ghosts that I can’t see?
Thinking about this, I couldn’t help but shiver. I don’t know why, but I still hoped that there would be ghosts after death. Otherwise, I would have been killed by these people and my soul would have disappeared.
If there really is a ghost, then I think I will definitely turn into a ghost and pester the Bai Clan day and night!
Thinking of this, my gaze couldn’t help but become somewhat resentful. A low humming sound was emitted from my throat as I glared fiercely at the woman.
I felt a little guilty when I saw her turn her head away and give the Taoist an urgent look, but she didn’t dare to speak.
“When a bride and groom kowtow, the Underworld will not part …” After that Taoist finished speaking, I was forced to kneel in front of the coffin with my head pressed against by that strong man, before fiercely knocking my head to the ground.
