C3 Both Demonic Ghosts

The day he saw her, it seemed like a dream, but it was also so real.

"Little brother, we will meet again. Just pretend that what happened today never happened before. You are not allowed to tell anyone, including your grandfather. Do you understand?"

"Will we meet again?"

"When you grow up, big sister will marry you."

I was so excited that I was at a loss for words. "Immortal." Big sister fairy, is what you said true? "You'll marry me?"

"Mm, really. But you can't tell anyone about us, including your grandfather. Did you hear that?"

I nodded. "I heard it. As long as I can see elder sister fairy again, I'll do whatever you want me to do."

"Yes."

The next day, I was woken up by a bucket of cold water. After waking up, I still felt intense pain all over my body. Grandfather held onto the basin as he stood in front of me.

I lowered my head to look at the wounds on my body, it seemed that I had almost recovered. Then, I remembered that big sister fairy who appeared in my room last night, and stubbornly believed that this big sister fairy was really a fairy, and that she was here to save me. I was filled with anticipation when I thought that she said that we could meet again.

I didn't dare to tell Grandfather about this, because elder sister Fairy had told me before she left that this was a small secret between the two of us, and that we couldn't tell it to a third person.

Seeing that I was a bit distracted, my grandfather coldly said, "Follow me!"

"Grandfather, where are you going?" I squeezed out a few words from my mouth and my consciousness blurred once again. In my blurry consciousness, I could only feel my grandfather carrying me on his back as he walked out of the house and towards a mountain outside the village.

Every step that my grandfather took caused me to tremble, making my entire body hurt. Before I walked too far away, I fainted once again.

When I opened my eyes, it was already dark. I was lying on the bed with my grandfather and another old man sitting in front of the bed. That old man had a kind face, white hair, and looked to be in high spirits.

"His eyes are no longer the same as his eyes. This is a sign of accidental death. His tongue is turning black and his lips purple. He will definitely die within seven days. Brother Zhao, this child is about to die." The old man said directly.

He glanced at me and said, "Brother Hu, this grandson of mine has a tough life. He has no parents, but he didn't live a good life with me. If possible, I hope Brother Hu can give me directions."

The old man who was called Brother Hu by grandpa sighed and looked at my wounds for a long time before slowly saying, "The wound is scab and the pain is still the same, this is a sign that you won't accept this. Brother Zhao, you are going to beat this little kid to death, and the Snake Immortal is not willing to let this go. This means that the Snake Immortal is determined to take his life."

Grandfather nodded and said, "Yes, I also know. I still know a bit about ghosts, but Brother Hu is better at being a demon than me."

Grandpa Hu said: "Yes, now there are already six dead, seven is the number of Snake Demon in the cycle of reincarnation, if I want to avoid this disaster, I can only find a backer for my child. With him backer, the Snake Immortal will be afraid."

"But where are we going to find a backer?" Grandfather blurted out.

"Marry her a wife."

Grandpa was surprised for a moment, then his expression changed as he said, "Brother Hu, you're talking about the wedding?"

The old man with the surname Hu nodded and said, "That's right, we won't leave even if the Demonic Ghost encounters two. We have to find him a female ghost to be his wife."

His grandfather shook his head and said, "He has an extremely dark destiny. I'm afraid that he will die even faster if he marries into the underworld."

Grandpa Hu shook his head and said: "The Snake Demon cannot be cured by taking his life, the extremely sinister fate will destroy it, and if we are married to him, it might be able to save his life. That Snake Demon will be with him for seven years, if we take his life and become a demon, the Snake Demon's dao will soar up to seventy years, and at that time, no one will be able to stop it."

Grandfather pondered for a moment before slowly nodding.

After hearing what the two old men said, I endured the pain and sat up. I stubbornly said, "No way. I don't want a ghost girl as my wife."

And I have someone I like, the big sister fairy from last night.

"Even if you can't, you still have to. You're going to lose your life!" Grandfather fiercely glared at me and raised his hand to slap me.

I don't know where my courage came from, but I didn't try to avoid it. As for his grandfather's slap, in the end, he did not come down. His face was red from anger as he said, "If you don't cooperate, the only thing you can do is die. Do you know?"

"I know, but once I marry a ghost wife, I can't marry a wife in the future!" My mind was filled with the appearance of a fairy elder sister. If I were to marry a ghost wife, how would I explain it to her?

Grandpa Hu smiled and said, "Child, you misunderstand. This damned wife of yours married to help you avert a calamity, so it won't affect your future wife."

After hearing that, my eyes lit up. I looked at my grandfather and asked, "Grandfather, is that true?"

His grandfather nodded and said, "Of course it's true, do you really think that the ghost lady can accompany you forever? They are also going to be reborn. "

At that time, my heart was really aggrieved. Due to my young age, I could only pout my mouth and say, "Grandfather, please find me a pretty one. I need to choose one myself."

"How can a female ghost look good? Choose on your own. If a female ghost is willing to help you, then burn incense. Calm down. You've caused this disaster yourself, so you should bear the consequences." Grandpa wasn't afraid of hurting me at all.

I shivered. I had never seen a ghost before, but I had an idea about it. I had seen it on TV, with long hair covering my face, a pale face, and blood coming from my seven orifices. If a ghost was really like this, then even if I survived, I would still be scared to death.

However, my thoughts didn't affect their decisions in the slightest. After all, I was still young at the time, so I could only listen to my lord.

"Yes, Soul-Yifu loves to play. Brother Zhao, hurry up and contact a troupe that is singing ghost plays." Grandpa Hu answered.

Grandfather nodded. "I'll go contact them right away."

After the two elders finished discussing, Grandfather gave Grandpa Hu a Jade Ring, saying that it was passed down from our family. Then he started calling the crew and explaining to them that this was a ghost show.

The so-called 'ghost show' meant that the troupe could sing whatever they wanted and there would be no audience to watch it. Only the people involved would watch it and the country's troupe would often receive this kind of play, which sounded quite terrifying, but to them who were singing the drama, it actually didn't have any effect. Furthermore, the pay was several times higher than the usual ones, so they were naturally happy to take on this kind of work.

After contacting the crew, grandpa went back to prepare the stage. After resting for a long time, Grandpa Hu brought some tribute and pulled me to the cemetery five miles away from the village to ask for ghosts.

Grave Head Mountain is a mountain specially used for burial. Besides our village Ying Wang, there are two other villages surrounding the mountain. This mountain is the boundary between the three villages, and I heard that the wind and water on this mountain are very good.

My body is full of pain, so much so that I grit my teeth in pain. In the evening, Grandpa Hu dragged me all the way to the bottom of the hill.

When we arrived at the foot of the cemetery, the sun had already set. Grandpa Hu looked at the sky and handed me a steamed bun: "Let's take a rest first and eat something."

"Grandpa Hu, let's not rest. It's going to be dark soon. Let's quickly find a ghost wife and then go back." I said weakly.

Grandpa Hu smiled. The tattoo on his forehead was very clear. He said, "We have to wait until night time. We can't do that in the day."

A shiver ran through me, and at night, in a mountain full of graves, it was terrible to think of it.

"Are you afraid?" Grandpa Hu asked.

I subconsciously shook my head and stubbornly replied, "I'm not afraid. As a man, what is there to be afraid of?"

Even though I said that, my heart was already trembling. However, I didn't want to admit that I was afraid because of my face, and I also knew that it was useless to be afraid. They wouldn't allow me to go back just because I said they were afraid.

Waiting until the sky turned dark, I had never felt time passing by so quickly. Perhaps it was because I didn't want to go up the mountain, but the more I wished, the faster time passed.

"Come on, let's go up the mountain and invite a ghost. Don't speak nonsense when we go up. I'll just say it. If you feel cold, or if someone patted your back, you must not look back." Grandpa Hu stood up and patted his butt. He lit up a kerosene lamp and walked up the path. Grandpa Hu said not to use a flashlight. The light from the flashlight was too strong, so it would attract the attention of those things.

Reluctantly, I followed and soon came to an area with more graves.

The tombstones here were all carved by the same stonemason, so they all looked the same. The only difference was the black-and-white photographs on the tombstones that looked like they were smiling.

Grandpa Hu led me to start looking at the tombstones one by one, seeing whether the tombstones were male or female. If they were female, then I would carefully look at how many years they had died. Those over 25 years old were basically forgotten, because most of the people in the countryside over 25 were already married.

I followed behind Grandpa Hu, the chilly wind was blowing on the mountain, I always felt flustered, Grandpa Hu reminded me before we went up the mountain, maybe due to the effect, I really felt a little cold, and I also felt that something was patting my back.

After continuously searching for over ten tombs, he finally found the grave of a woman who died at the age of twenty-two.
