Chapter 5 The Empress of the Yellow River
Ever since Huixiang went mad, her house has been abandoned.

In the past few years, the rural population has grown rapidly, and the homestead in the village is not enough, so some people plan to use her old house.It's just because Huixiang is still alive, if she preempts it openly, it is tantamount to bullying the orphan girl.

After Huixiang's death, the old house was collectively reclaimed by the village, and Chen Butcher from Shilidu immediately bought it with money.

Butcher Chen killed his whole life, and ghosts and gods are not afraid. After buying the old house of Huixiang's family, he began to find someone to rebuild it that day.

An old man in the village advised him that it was not appropriate to break ground because Huixiang hadn't died yet.

But how did Butcher Chen hear this? His three sons were worrying that they had no place to build a new house.

Huixiang's old house is located in a good location, facing south, and Butcher Chen is not short of money, so he spent a lot of money on the reconstruction this time, and built a small three-story western-style building.

After the house was built, the family happily lived in it.There is a saying in the countryside that people cannot live without ghosts, and new houses usually need to be suppressed, so they will live in the whole family.

What's more, the construction of this three-story small western-style building has been going smoothly since the beginning, and there was nothing wrong with digging the foundation and putting up the beams. Naturally, the Chen family didn't have any scruples.

This day was the last night of Huixiang's seven-year break. Except for a few nostalgic old people, Shilidu still remembered to burn a piece of paper for her, and everyone else had already forgotten about it.

In the evening, Chen Butcher's family had dinner, some watched TV, some played with their mobile phones, and rested as usual.However, in the early morning of the next day, the villagers noticed that something was wrong. Butcher Chen, who usually went to the market early to sell meat, did not have a stall.

It just so happened that someone from a nearby village wanted to hold a banquet and was in a hurry to make purchases, so they found Butcher Chen's house.No one answered the door, and the phone couldn't be reached. As soon as I communicated with the villagers in Shilidu, I felt that something was wrong.

Finally, he found the village chief and led someone to break in.

After entering the door, the scene was very bloody, and I vomited several times at that time.

There were seven members of the Chen family. Except for Butcher Chen, the other six were all disemboweled and hung on iron hooks used for killing pigs.

Butcher Chen himself was covered in blood, holding a butcher's knife in his hand, and stood in the middle of the courtyard in a daze.

"I'm guilty, I deserve to die, I pushed Huixiang into the river and drowned."

Seeing someone coming in, Butcher Chen said something in a hoarse voice.

After finishing speaking, he chopped off his own neck...

When Bai Laogui told me about this incident, the corpse poison on my body was almost cleaned up, and I was doing recovery training in the yard.

After listening to it, I was completely stunned.

Although it is said that Li Gui's claim to life has nothing to do with the way of heaven, but this is after all an extermination.

Huixiang is just an ordinary woman, isn't she afraid of being thrown into the [-]th hell and never reborn if she does this?
"Uncle Bai, if Huixiang killed Butcher Chen's family, does that mean her karma is over?" I asked with lingering fear.

"You think too much, this matter is definitely not that simple." Bai Laogui said after a long thought.

At night, the white old ghost took me down the Yellow River.

He said before that he would wait for my injury to heal before doing that big event, but now he has to do it ahead of time.

Huixiang wiped out the seven members of the Chen family, and his viciousness soared. With his ability, he could no longer keep me.

That night, the moon was white and the stars were sparse, and only the sound of rushing water was heard.The white old ghost and I propped up the rotten boat, going retrograde.

Bai Laogui still refused to tell me what exactly he was going to do, but I saw that he had prepared an incense burner and candles, so I guess this matter should be related to the sacrifice.

"Uncle Bai, where are we going?" After the boat sailed for about an hour, I couldn't help asking him again.

"Xiaba Village, the ancient altar of the Yellow River."

The ancient altar of the Yellow River is the place where the feudal society paid homage to the King of the Yellow River and threw the Empress of the Yellow River.

The ancient altar on our side is in Xiaba Village. I don’t know when it was built. Although no one repaired it, it has survived wind, rain and flood and never collapsed.

Now the Yellow River is full of water, and only a corner of the ancient altar is exposed from the water.Old Bai Gui wanted me to go up with the incense burner and candles in his arms, but he himself sat on the bow of the boat and did not move.

"Uncle Bai, should you tell me what to do now?"

"Worship the Empress of the Yellow River."

"What do you want her to do?"

"The woman you saw that day is Empress Huang He, and only she can save your life."

"What, Empress Huang He?"

Bai Laogui's words were astonishing, I couldn't even close my mouth in shock.No wonder that woman is not as beautiful as a mortal, but she turns out to be the Empress of the Yellow River.

"You are destined to be with her, and only she can save you, don't be dazed, hurry up and offer incense." Bai Laogui said.

Burning incense is particular, there are three gods and four ghosts.

The Empress of the Yellow River is a ghost, and she wants to burn four sticks of incense.The Chinese respect the left, the three roots on the left represent heaven, earth and man, and the fourth represents ghosts.

Immediately, I lit the four sticks of incense and inserted them into the incense burner, slammed the four sticks down, and began to chant according to the sacrificial rite written to me by Bai Laogui.

"Yizheng Qiankun, husband and wife are the beginning of human relations. Poetry Zhou Zhao, marriage is the source of kingliness."

"That's why, it was predicted that it would prosper in the fifth generation when the phoenix mingled. The peaches in the sky were burning, and the song was perfect for a hundred years. Now there is a gentleman named Xie Lan, who is famous for his prescriptions from the world..."

I can't read it any longer.

Although I am not a top student in the Chinese department, I can still understand that this is not a sacrificial oration at all, but an ancient marriage letter.

Secretly thought, what kind of idea is this old ghost Bai playing? Could it be that he wants me to propose to Empress Huang He?
"Xie Lan, what are you doing in a daze, keep reading." Seeing me stop, Bai Laogui stood at the bow and urged me.

"Uncle Bai, you don't really want me to propose to Empress Huang He, do you?"

"Nonsense, only she can save your life, but you two have nothing to do with each other, so why should I help you?"

"However, if a living person marries a ghost daughter-in-law, his life will probably be shortened."

"Then let me ask you, do you want to be killed by Huixiang, or do you want to marry a ghost wife? If you are not afraid of Huixiang, let's go now."

Thinking about Xie Guangcai who was hanged naked, and thinking about the disemboweled death of Butcher Chen's family, I immediately felt that it would be a very good thing if I could marry Empress Huang He.

So I didn't struggle any more, and read the thousand-word marriage letter in one breath.

After reading it, something strange happened.

A gust of wind swept across the incense burner for no reason, and the fourth ghost incense was extinguished immediately.

There are two most taboo things about burning incense, one is that the length is uneven, and the other is that it goes out in the middle.

The former is a bad omen, while the latter represents dishonesty, and ghosts and gods will not accept it.

"Uncle Bai, what's going on?" I asked.

"It shouldn't be. It is said that Empress Huang He has looked at you before, so she should have no opinion. You must be dishonest. Light the incense and read the marriage certificate again."

Well, I read it again, but the ghost incense still went out.

The old ghost Bai frowned and pondered for a while, then asked me if there was another woman in my heart, and if there was any love left.

Alas, there are some things that are usually buried in my heart, and I don't touch them easily.

When I was in college, I had a girlfriend. She was fair, beautiful and had an excellent temperament. She was also the flower of our department.I fell in love with her so much that I lost interest in life after we broke up, and that's why people in Guangzhou are not ghosts or ghosts.

But no matter how deep-rooted the feelings are, they can't withstand the erosion of time. After returning home this time, I have already planned to change my mind and start a new life, and I almost don't think of her anymore.

I can't give her the life she wants, just like what she said when we broke up, I'm very happy with me, but it's a bit heartbreaking to marry me.

Now the old ghost asked me if I had any other feelings in my heart. After thinking about it, I tore off the pendant from my neck and threw it into the Yellow River far away.This pendant is a birthday present she gave me, and it's useless to keep it.

After throwing away the pendant, I read the marriage certificate again, and this time it went smoothly, and the ghost incense didn't go out until it burned out.

"Let's go." After the incense burnt, Bai Laogui beckoned me to go back.

"Uncle Bai, is this the end?"

"Well, Empress Huang He has accepted your marriage letter, and now it's time to prepare for your marriage."

Marrying the Empress of the Yellow River is also a marriage of yin and yang, but it is different from that of my relatives, because I am a living person and she is a ghost, and we are a yin and yang marriage.I don't need to find her bones, I just need to put up a memorial tablet for her.

It's just that I don't know her name until now, and I don't know what to write on the tablet.

Bai Laogui said there is no need to worry about this, she will engrave the name on it herself when we hold the wedding.
