"A secret marriage?"

The Xu family was all at a loss.

But it wasn't just him, Lao Cui and A Yang were also confused.

Old Liao, on the other hand, slapped his thigh and said, "Who is so evil? Why would they arrange a ghost marriage for a living person? Isn't this harming people? I was wondering why the girl hasn't even opened her eyes. I'm afraid she's only breathing now!"

Seeing that he seemed to know something, Ah Biao asked curiously, "Uncle Liao, do you also know about ghost marriages?"

"Hey, why don't I understand? My ancestral home is in southern Hunan. In our area, if a young boy dies young, in order to let him rest in peace, they will arrange a ghost marriage for him. They will choose a girl who also died young, match their horoscopes, exchange gifts, write a marriage certificate, and my dad said that they also burn a sedan chair and a matchmaker so that they can pick up the bride and get married."

Ah Biao raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't think we've ever heard of such a custom in Cuicheng."

Lao Xu, Lao Cui and the others nodded.

"Hey, it's normal for customs to be different in every place. There's a parade here every year, but there's none in Shonan either."

Old Liao sighed as he spoke: "Who is this heartless person? Arranging a ghost marriage for a girl? Isn't this just tying a dead male ghost to a girl? It's strange that her Yin energy is not heavy. No wonder she is almost a skeleton. The Yang energy in her body is almost sucked dry."

"Then, what should we do?" Lao Xu asked pleadingly.

Old Liao pointed at Su Chen who was drawing the talisman.

"The young man is already handling it, why are you so anxious? Finding the young man will save your life. The young man is very capable, so there will definitely be no problem."

Upon hearing this, Lao Xu and the others quickly looked at Su Chen with anticipation.

Seeing this, Lao Cui and Ayang felt even more desolate in their hearts.

They have greater hope now, but will face greater despair later.

I don’t know if I can hold on.

After Su Chen finished cutting the paper figure, he thought about drawing a talisman, but when he looked, he found that the cinnabar was gone yesterday.

"Brother Biao, please help me get some cinnabar from Uncle Zhong, more."

"Hey, okay!"

Su Chen then looked up: "Do you know her horoscope?"

Lao Xu and the others shook their heads.

"You know the year, month, and day of your birth, right?"

Old Xu nodded and told the date to his wife and sister. Su Chen squinted his eyes and began to calculate. After A Biao brought the cinnabar breathlessly, he quickly wrote the eight characters on the paper man.

Then he pasted the previously drawn substitute talisman on the front and back of the paper man.

"Get out of your way."

Lao Xu and the others quickly dispersed.

When Ayang pulled his father back, he noticed that many people had gathered around him.

However, they seemed quite polite and did not squeeze forward, but watched from a distance of about ten meters.

There was a faint sound of conversation.

"What's going on? Poisoned?"

"No way? It's called a ghost marriage, where a living person marries a dead person."

"Did you see that? That woman looked like a skeleton. I almost thought her bones were dug out."

"Shh, keep your voice down."

"Do you think the Master can solve it this time?"

"Nonsense, haven't you seen the master be so calm and composed? It will definitely work."

"That's right, Master is awesome."

……

Ayang: “???”

No.

Did Brother Achen bribe everyone on the street?

Why does it feel like everyone says good things about him?

Lao Cui also vaguely sensed something was wrong and looked suspicious.

At this moment, Su Chen's fingers flew and he made a Taoist seal. Then he saw the paper man who was originally lying on the table slowly floated up and floated above Aning.

Their eyes widened and their mouths opened into an O shape.

"Ohhhh, it's floating! It's floating without even the master touching it."

"I see, I see. Don't shout, or you might disturb the Master."

"I knew it was something special to watch. The master's moves are truly something you never get tired of watching."

……

Ayang Lao Cui's heart began to beat fast.

Could it be that Su Chen is really capable?

"Edict!"

A powerful Taoist voice came out of Su Chen's mouth, and the paper man began to spin suddenly.

Aning, who was lying unconscious on the wooden board, also began to struggle, his entire abdomen arched upwards, and his hands grabbed around randomly.

"Hold her down!"

As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, Lao Xu and the others were still stunned, but A Biao had already stepped forward and grabbed one of the thin arms.

Seeing this, Lao Xu leaned over and pressed down on the other arm. His wife reminded him, "Don't press too hard, it will hurt Aning~"

Su Chen watched as the black air was drawn out bit by bit and poured into the paper figure. After the last trace of black air flowed in, he made a few hand gestures and the paper figure slowly floated back. Aning, who had been struggling, suddenly stopped and let out a long breath.

The paper figure fell on the table. Su Chen squinted his eyes, picked it up and looked at it, then put it aside. Then he picked up the pen, drew a qi-nourishing talisman, stood up and patted Aning on the shoulder.

“You can let go now.”

A Biao and Lao Xu raised their hands.

Aning, who was originally unconscious, fluttered her eyelashes twice and slowly opened her eyes.

Lao Xu was surprised: "Aning, Aning, are you awake?"

Before Aning could say anything, he was pushed away: "Aning, it's my aunt, do you still recognize me?"

A faint voice rang out: "Aunt, why are you back... Hmm? Where is this?"

It would have been fine if she didn't say anything, but as soon as she spoke, the Xu family immediately burst into tears, especially her mother. She covered her mouth with her hands and tears streamed down her face, but she was afraid that her daughter would see it and worry, so she didn't dare to go forward.

Ayang and Lao Cui were stunned.

Su Chen reminded: "Ayang, go buy something hot. She must be hungry and should eat something to fill her stomach."

Ayang woke up as if from a dream, nodded hurriedly, looked towards the street, and rushed into a porridge shop.

Su Chen signaled Lao Xu and the others to help the person up, let Aning sit on the chair to rest for a while, and then looked at them.

"Have you ever told anyone about your daughter's horoscope?"

"Accurate horoscopes are required for ghost marriages."

Lao Xu looked at his wife, frowned and shook his head: "No!"

His sister glared at him, "How come it's gone? Didn't you find someone to match your horoscopes with Ayang before?"

Only then did Lao Xu and the others realize what was going on.

"Yes, yes, yes, we asked the fortune teller in town to match our horoscopes!"

Then he paused: "Master, what you mean..."

"Brother, are you out of your mind? My niece was clearly murdered. There must be something wrong with that witch."

"I was wondering why the magic water had no effect after I drank it. Everyone in town said she was amazing, but our Aning is still the same every day. It must be her doing. This black-hearted old woman, I'll beat her to death when I get home!"

When A Biao heard this, he subconsciously shrank his neck.

This woman is fierce!

Got to hide!

"Akui, don't talk nonsense. Maybe someone went to her and stole her horoscope." Lao Xu said and looked at Su Chen.

Su Chen explained: "Uncle, I am now using a substitute to guide the negative energy to this paper figure, but this is not a long-term solution. We must find the root cause, obtain the other party's horoscope, explain the reason, and cancel the engagement. Only then can your daughter fully recover."

Old Xu was apprehensive: "Then, how do we find it? Should we ask everyone in town?"

"Stupid!" Old Liao squinted his eyes. "People in Cuicheng don't know about ghost marriages. Why don't you find someone in your town who was born and raised in Cuicheng and ask them if there are any ghost marriages in their hometowns?"

Old Xu's eyes lit up.

"Yeah!"

Su Chen glanced at Lao Liao and asked Lao Xu: "Where are you from?"

Upon learning that it was in Shuitou Town, next to Liangshan, Su Chen nodded: "It's not far, I'll go with you."

"Really?"

Su Chen nodded and reminded: "Okay, please move aside and don't crowd here. Let your daughter get more sun. It will help her recover."

"Oh oh oh, okay!"

Su Chen put away the paper substitute, quickly drew a talisman, folded it, put it aside, and began to color the paper house.

After a while, I drew another one and continued coloring.

After Ayang brought the hot porridge over, Aning drank it in small sips. The paper house was painted and 10 amulets were placed on the table.
