Kowloon pull coffin

Chapter 6
Choosing a date is worse than bumping into it. The old white ghost started preparing for my wedding the next day.

Go to the paper-making shop in the town and buy red paper, bamboo slivers, cut red silk gauze, bright candles and firearms, all kinds of piles.

Free up that utility room and tidy up for me as a bridal chamber.

"Xie Lan, do you want to inform your parents about the important matter of marriage?" Bai Laogui asked me while cutting paper while wearing presbyopic glasses.

"What do you say? Do you want me to tell my parents that I am going to marry Empress Huang He, and I may not be able to pass on the family line to them in this life?"

"It's up to you. Anyway, as long as you are willing to admit this marriage. But, uncle, I have agreed with you first. You marry the Yellow River Empress, but you will be regarded as a regular wife. No matter what you become in the future, you can only have her as a wife." .”

"From what you mean, do I still have a chance to take a concubine in the future?" I asked him.

"Hahaha, it's a good idea. If you grow up, you can give it a try."

Alas, people have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. This matter is difficult in ancient times.

I am a corpse hunter to make money and marry a wife. Fortunately, I am doomed to be alone for a lifetime before I get rich.

The old ghost Bai used to say that marrying the Empress of the Yellow River would bring endless blessings, but that was purely for fun.

There is a difference between Yin and Yang, the Yellow River Empress is a ghost, and manifesting a Yin body for a long time will not do her or me any good.

Even if I am married, I live alone. At most, I come out to talk to me in the dead of night, or have a sexual dream, and there is no trace afterwards.

But that's all I can do to survive.

At dusk, when the demons meet, I knelt alone on the futon in the big house, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Empress of the Yellow River.

There are bright red candles on both sides of the altar, and in the middle is a gloomy wooden tablet one foot high and three inches wide.The tablet was covered with a red cloth, and there was no writing on it.

The moment at the junction of You and Xu is called the time of encountering magic, and it is also the dividing point between day and night.Legend has it that at this moment, demons and ghosts will come out to prosper and share the world with mortals.

The old ghost said that when the demon was sealed, the Empress Huang He would engrave her tablet, and the wedding could not be held until the engraving was completed.

I waited calmly, and at first I still had a kind of absurd and unreal idea, but gradually this idea was discarded from my mind, and it became a kind of sacred solemnity.

I thought of the life of Empress Huang He, an unmarried girl with good looks and figure, who could sing ditties and was good at singing and dancing.Our side is not a land of beauties, such a girl is the dream object of countless men no matter which village or village they are placed in.

But because of a sacrifice, they were wrapped in silk cloth and brushed with tung oil and sank into the Yellow River.

Since then, he has been living in the dark bottom of the Yellow River for a hundred years.

In modern society, the King of the Yellow River and the sixty generals have been far away from people's sight. Only the Empress of the Yellow River is still living as a lonely ghost in the river because of her grievances, and she can only be relieved if the water of the Yellow River dries up.

Thinking of this, I felt some affection for Empress Huang He who was going to marry me.I made up my mind that if I really married her, I would treat her well and not let her be alone again.

With the arrival of a gust of wind, the red cloth on the tablet was lifted, revealing the beautiful handwriting on it.

The Lin family, I wish to be the wife of the Jun family...

The handwriting is very small, and the candle is flickering. I haven't fully deciphered it, but the handwriting suddenly disappears, and it is replaced by a large, scrawled character: Escape.

I didn't understand what was going on, but I heard a sudden wind and rain outside, making the doors and windows rattle.The next moment the red candle was extinguished, and the whole room became pitch black.

I wanted to go out and see what was going on, but I didn't have any strength in my body.

I was immersed in the darkness as if I was drowning, with all kinds of sounds in my ears, but I couldn't see anything in my eyes.

"Lan'er, it's time to go home for dinner."

"Xie Lan, you're asking for leave again, you don't want to work in the factory anymore, do you?"

"Xie Lan, I'm sorry, we are not from the same world."

……

In the dark, I heard many people calling my name, some familiar and some unfamiliar.

I wanted to respond to them, but couldn't utter a single word.

I don't know how long this drowsy state lasted, the door suddenly broke open from the outside, and then Bai Laogui stumbled in, covered in blood.

As soon as he entered the house, he immediately went to get the water monkey skin, wrapped one for himself, and wrapped another for me.

I asked him what happened outside, but he didn't speak, just staring at the door as if he was facing an enemy.

It's too dark outside now, and it's windy and rainy, so I can't see anything clearly.

The small courtyard of Bai Laogui was paved with cement, and the accumulated water dissipated slowly. I heard someone walking in the rain, walking on the water.

As the footsteps approached, I finally saw the appearance of the person coming.

It was a woman, wearing a scarlet wedding gown, a red hijab, and a red umbrella in her hand.

She just stood at the door and didn't come in.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"What do you think?" the woman asked me back with a giggle.

"It's still too late for you to turn around now, don't make a big mistake and be suppressed under the Yin Mountain and never turn over." Bai Laogui stood in front of me and sternly yelled.

"Hehe, I'm not the one who wants to turn back. The City God and the Underworld don't care about me, let alone you, a little corpse hunter."

Seeing that the woman was about to cross the threshold, Bai Laogui raised his hand and covered the water monkey skin over.

But this time he miscalculated, the water monkey skin was torn into pieces by the woman's hands like rags.

"Bai Hechou, I think you have meritorious deeds, and I don't want to kill you. If you obstruct my good deeds again today, I will kill you." The woman's tone turned cold.

"If you do this, you won't be afraid that Empress Huang He will settle accounts with you?" Old Bai asked through gritted teeth.

"Hey, the mud bodhisattva crosses the river, Lin Yuhua is already in danger of protecting herself, so how can she care about her wishful husband?"

After finishing speaking, the woman stepped into the room and walked straight towards me.

The old ghost touched a piece of water monkey skin in his hand again, and wanted to stop her, but the woman turned her head to look at him, and said a word.

Then I saw the old ghost Bai rolled out of the ground as if he had suddenly lost his mind.

After Bai Laogui went out, the door closed again, and then the red candle that had been extinguished was lit again.

Only this time it was not a red flame, but a green light.

Under the radiance of the green light, the whole room is full of eerie smell.

The woman is standing in front of me now, red wedding dress, red hijab, scenes that only appear in the dreams of many men.

It's a pity that I dare not take off her red hijab at all, not to mention that I already know who she is even if I don't look at her.

A miserable woman who was bullied half her life and then pushed into the water to death.

She was a silly girl in life, but she turned into a real ghost after death. First she killed the old ruffian Xie Guangcai, and then wiped out the Chen family.

"Huixiang, turn back. Your past life karma has been settled, and now there is still time to turn back." I said sincerely.

Huixiang is not Xie Guangcai, I have some strength to fight back against Xie Guangcai, but when facing her, I have no choice but to close my eyes and wait for death.If you can't beat it, you have to reason with her.

It is impossible to kneel down and beg for mercy. I have watched so many Hong Kong and Taiwan horror movies since I was a child, the more I kneel down and beg for mercy, the more miserable my final death will be.

"Heck, Xie Lan, do you want to know why I refuse to let you go?" Huixiang asked.

"Yes."

Actually, I didn't do anything wrong.

When a person dies, he can be buried in the ground for peace, and it is a meritorious thing for me to retrieve the corpse.As for the things that happened later, it is beyond my control.

I am not a Buddha, I cannot see the past and the future.

"You are 27 years old this year. I wonder if Old Ghost Bai told you that this year is your ninth year?" Huixiang asked me.

In our area, there is indeed a popular saying that every nine years, when a person reaches the age of nine, 27 years old and other multiples of nine years, he will encounter life and death.

There are bright nines and dark nines every nine years, and dark nines refer to the real age.

Last year I said I was 27, referring to my imaginary age. In fact, I am only really 27 years old this year.

According to folklore, Lord Yan will look through the book of life and death on the first day of the first lunar month, and randomly count people who have been in darkness for nine years.

Whoever whose name is clicked will report to the underworld within this year.Even those who are not listed will have many disasters this year, so be extremely careful.

Suddenly hearing Huixiang mention this, I was slightly taken aback and asked her what she meant.

"On the first day of the first lunar month of this year, Hades only named one person's name, and that person is you. I kill those who bully me, but I will kill you to condense the supreme virtue!"
