Confucianism is supreme? I am reciting Tang poems in another world!

The so-called ghost marriage is to find a spouse for the dead. Some boys and girls died for some reason after being engaged, before they were married. At that time, the elders believed that if they were not married, their ghosts would make trouble and make the family uneasy.

Such a wedding ceremony is extremely simple. You only need to let the matchmaker go to the girl's house to propose marriage. After obtaining the consent of the girl's parents, you can directly take the person away.

However, in order to avoid suspicion, most ghost marriages are held in the middle of the night, and try not to make a big fanfare. If the groom is dead and cannot go to the bride in person, a big rooster will be prepared to represent the groom to welcome the bride. But if the bride is dead, a sedan chair is needed to represent the bride to welcome the bride.

When she arrives at the groom's house, the bride will be placed in front of the groom's spirit tablet, worship and get married, and then become the wife of the dead, and cannot remarry for life.

Ci Song could not understand why there was such a bad custom as ghost marriage. This was simply a contempt for human rights, and he did not expect to see the existence of ghost marriage today.

At this time, Ning Pingan slowly said: "Ghost marriage is a funeral ritual. It has been recorded since the pre-Shang Dynasty. It mostly happens in the homes of the rich and powerful, because these families have more property and can let the deceased enjoy the treatment they received during their lifetime. They will look for people who died young for ghost marriage."

"But later, ghost marriage gradually evolved into a bad habit, where the living and the dead are matched. Many poor families will choose ghost marriage to give their deceased relatives a name, and the woman will agree to it in order to get a sum of money."

"Ci Song, do you think we should stop them?" Ning Pingan turned his head and looked at Ci Song curiously.

"Stop them?"

Ci Song thought for a while, then shook his head: "Forget it, we are just two passers-by, we can't care so much. If we forcefully intervene, we will only bring unnecessary trouble to ourselves."

"Besides, we don't know if there are other hidden secrets in this ghost marriage. It is better to destroy ten temples than to break a marriage."

If it were him on Blue Star, he might have a strong sense of justice and stepped forward to stop it, but now he has experienced a lot of things and will not forget what he sees and hears now.

"I thought you would be like a fool and save the bride from the water and fire. Don't children of your age like this the most?"

"Teacher, when you reach my age, you will understand what I am thinking in my heart." Ci Song pretended to be deep.

"When I reach your age? Brat, are you a little bit rebellious?"

Ning Ping'an glared at Ci Song fiercely.

"Teacher, I'm joking with you. The wedding procession is almost gone. Should we follow it?"

"Let's follow and take a look. This is the first time I've seen a ghost marriage with a living person."

Ning Ping'an nodded, and then the two of them got on the ox cart and followed the wedding procession.

Then, the two of them drove the ox cart behind the wedding procession and headed towards the town.

The entire wedding procession did not go far before it stopped at the foot of a mountain. Ning Ping'an stopped the ox cart far away and watched the wedding procession quietly with Ci Song.

Ci Song looked over and saw that the wedding procession actually stopped in front of a mausoleum, and then the sedan chair landed and the bride was carried out of the sedan chair.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked to the groom's spirit tablet, picked up the groom's tablet, held the tablet in his left hand, and held the big rooster in his right hand.

The entire wedding procession did not go far before it stopped at the foot of a mountain. Ning Ping'an stopped the ox cart far away and watched the wedding procession quietly with Ci Song.

Ci Song looked over and saw that the wedding procession had stopped in front of a mausoleum. There were many people wearing white mourning clothes, who should be the groom's relatives. A golden coffin was placed in the center of the crowd. Under the sun, it was shining and attracted his attention.

The middle-aged man walked to the mausoleum. He sighed slightly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, then turned around and said something to the people in white mourning clothes.

Then, someone took out the fire basin and performed the fire-crossing ceremony. The middle-aged man picked up the tablet in front of the mausoleum and the big rooster for the wedding, and easily jumped over the fire basin. The bride looked extremely scared, but still crossed the fire basin with difficulty.

"The first item of the wedding is to cross the fire basin."

With the words of an old man, the entire cemetery in front of the mausoleum became quiet, leaving only the explosion sound of the fire basin when crossing the fire basin.

"The second item of the wedding is to worship heaven and earth."

As the old man's voice sounded again, the middle-aged man stood in front of the people in white mourning clothes. He placed the groom's tablet on his chest, pulled up the bride with his left hand, held the big rooster in his right hand, and knelt down and worshiped three times in the bride's bewilderment.

"The third item of the wedding is to be like the king of heaven."

As the old man's voice fell, the middle-aged man carried the bride on his back and began to be like the king of heaven.

"Being like the king of heaven" is the last item in the ghost marriage. From the place where the groom's house leaves the house, be like the king of heaven all the way to the mausoleum, and the ceremony is considered complete. Along the way, the man carefully carried the bride on his back, and the bride looked bewildered and timid.

As the old man's voice fell, the middle-aged man carried the bride on his back and began to be like the king of heaven.

"Being like the king of heaven" is the last item in the ghost marriage. The rules are also very simple. The groom carries the bride on his back and enters the door, and the ceremony is considered complete.

The man carried the bride to the golden coffin. The entire mausoleum was filled with people wearing white mourning clothes. There were also two Taoist priests in front of the mausoleum.

"When you are new, the road to hell is far away. I hope you two will support each other and don't forget your roots."

The two Taoist priests held the talisman and hovered over the bride's body, muttering words. Then the bride was placed into the golden coffin and buried with the groom in the coffin.

"The newlyweds are buried, the ceremony is completed!"

With the last shouts of the two Taoist priests, the entire mausoleum became quiet. Only the helpless cry of the bride was heard. The two Taoist priests picked up the bells and still muttered words. The atmosphere in the entire mausoleum Everyone became weird. The wedding team and the funeral team knelt in front of the mausoleum and began to cry bitterly.

"The bad feudal habits are really ignorant!"

Before Ci Song could react, he heard Ning Ping'an's sarcastic voice reaching his ears.

When Ning Pingan's voice fell, the atmosphere in the entire mausoleum became quiet. The two Taoist priests and the people in white mourning clothes all looked in the direction of Ning Pingan and Ci Song.

"Where did you come from, little brat, talking nonsense here!"

The two Taoist priests walked towards Ning Pingan and Ci Song, staring at Ning Pingan with displeasure.
