Chen Man’s parents asked them to stay for lunch. This happened thanks to Ning Wanlai’s encounter with Chen Man when he was walking in Wanchang. Otherwise, according to their previous thinking, let alone Chen Man’s inability to appear in a dream, they would really not take it seriously either.
But before the banquet started, Father Chen made another phone call and said in a panic: “The people at the cemetery told me that Man Man’s urn is missing!”
Because he was planning to move the buried ashes together with Sun Qingxiang’s son, so Father Chen had already contacted the cemetery and wanted to move them. But when he called just now to inform them that he would not move, he was told that the tomb had been opened and the urn was ready to be taken out, but now he found that the urn was missing.
How long did it take to notify Sun Qingxiang? If they said that this matter had nothing to do with him, no one would believe it.
Xie Lingya thought he would take revenge on Chen Man’s parents or Chen Man himself, but he didn’t expect him to go straight to digging the grave. He still wanted to marry Chen Man back. But this time he planned to be stronger.
“Damn it! Call him!” Ning Wanlai was furious.
“It’s useless.” Xie Lingya said calmly, “It’s okay. I’ll take Chen Man’s soul back to Baoyang Temple first. Even if he succeeds in the ceremony, he won’t be able to take away Chen Man’s soul. Then, we’ll go get Chen Man.”
Sun Qingxiang probably didn’t expect that there was someone behind him giving instructions. Xie Lingya took Chen Man to Baoyang Temple. With Wang Lingguan on top, no one could take Chen Man away from here.
Seeing Xie Lingya’s confident look, Father Chen and Mother Chen felt relieved and entrusted the matter to him.
Xie Lingya took away the documents, and it was written on them that the venue of the “ghost wedding” would be held in the cemetery where they were originally scheduled to be buried together. The time was at night. It was difficult to find Sun Qingxiang, but it was easier to wait here.
….
Xie Lingya was going to the cemetery to find Sun Qingxiang, so he made an appointment with Shi Changxuan as well. Originally, he didn’t want to take Ning Wanlai with him. He was new to this life and didn’t know much about anything. However, Ning Wanlai couldn’t help but scold Sun Qingxiang, so Xie Lingya stuffed him with a few more talismans.
The three of them took a taxi to the cemetery at night, but because there were security guards at the gate, they jumped over the wall to get in.
The cemetery was built on the mountain. Xie Lingya used the moonlight to find the grave of Sun Qingxiang’s son in the dark. Shi Changxuan was also helping. Ning Wanlai’s legs were weak at the sight. Wandering around the cemetery at night made him feel really guilty.
“I told you not to come, now you are scared when you come. Otherwise, why don’t you sit here and wait for us?” Xie Lingya said.
“I won’t, I won’t!” Ning Wanlai’s face turned pale. How dare he? It was okay to follow Xie Lingya, but sitting here alone would really kill him.
Xie Lingya was speechless and continued to search.
Not long after, they actually found it. The tombstone was lying flat on the ground, waiting for burial. It was obvious, and it also showed that Sun Qingxiang was coming there tonight.
“Come on, let’s hide up there.” Xie Lingya led the two of them up there, hiding behind other tombs, sitting on the ground with their backs against the tomb’s retaining wall.
Ning Wanlai shivered when he saw tombstones all around him, “Teacher Xie, do you feel a little cold?”
Xie Lingya: “I told you it’s a little cold at night.”
“…” Actually, Ning Wanlai felt a weird cold, and the cemetery was too gloomy, but Xie Lingya was particularly honest in talking about the weather.
Ning Wanlai really regretted it at this time. Why did he come with such passionate demands at that time? He was quite timid at first, but he was really angry at Sun Qingxiang.
Ning Wanlai thought and put his head on Xie Lingya’s shoulder.
As soon as he lowered his head, he saw Taoist Master Shi looking over coldly, which made him startled. He was just about to ask what was wrong, when he heard a thin voice ringing in his ears in the silence.
“You’re on top of me.”
“I -” Ning Wanlai jumped up and broke into a cold sweat. He then covered his mouth with his hands for fear of shouting.
The voice was thin and cold, and it rang in his ears. Ning Wanlai burst into tears and kept bowing to the tomb in front of him: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
Xie Lingya was startled by him and turned to the side. If Shi Changxuan hadn’t followed him, he would have probably thrown himself out. At this time, he said, “You scared me to death.”
Ning Wanlai cried, pointing to the tomb in front of him: “…Oh, he said I was pressing him down. He is dead.”
“You are leaning against the wall, how could you hit someone’s tomb?” Xie Lingya pointed to the wooden figure on his shoulder, “That’s what it said.”
Ning Wanlai: “…”
Ning Wanlai’s eyes almost bulged out. The wooden man’s words were no better than the tomb owner’s words. It was also terrifying!!
Xie Lingya also wanted to say: “Didn’t I tell you earlier? It’s a wooden man who can talk like a fairy.”
Ning Wanlai: “…”
Just as he was about to say something, Xie Lingya’s expression changed and he said, “Squat down, here they come.”
Ning Wanlai crouched down quickly, but she didn’t dare to get close to Xie Lingya anymore – if he beat him to death in the future, he wouldn’t get close either!
Xie Lingya slowly got up from Shi Changxuan’s arms. Liu Lingtong had just reminded him. At this moment, he stared down and saw that not long after, a group of five or six people came up the mountain.
They were definitely different from Xie Lingya. They walked in from the main entrance and held many things in their hands.
The last step in getting married was to go to the cemetery where the couple was buried together, prepare fruit wine, small flags and other items, and hold a ceremony. There were two chairs in the hands of those people.
Xie Lingya had heard Ning Wanlai’s description of Sun Qingxiang, and now recognized that he was the middle-aged man leading the group. He saw them standing in front of them, with sacrifices, seats and flags arranged, and the urns placed on two chairs.
Sun Qingxiang nodded and said, “Let’s get started.”
A woman next to him took out a handful of documents and began to read. She should be the ghost matchmaker in this ghost marriage. Now the memorial inscription was to be read, and both men and women were invited to come and take a seat. Then two small flags were inserted behind the seats. During the ceremony, if the couple was satisfied with each other, the small flags would flutter.
The ghost matchmaker was reciting the memorial inscription, but Sun Qingxiang stopped expressionlessly. He looked around and said, “No, why isn’t Chen Man here?”
The ghost matchmaker hesitated and said, “No, I read every word correctly.”
Sun Qingxiang frowned, “Wait a minute, I’ll figure out why Chen Man didn’t come.”
“No need to, Chen Man won’t come,” Xie Lingya stood up from behind and said slowly.
In the darkness, Xie Lingya startled everyone except Sun Qingxiang, “Who are you?”
“Ah, I’m numb…” Xie Lingya muttered, but luckily Shi Changxuan stood up and helped him, and he said, “We were entrusted by Chen Man to crack down on your immoral behavior of forcibly marrying a female ghost.”
Sun Qingxiang sneered, “Who are you?”
Ning Wanlai also got up and cursed: “You are nothing, scum. Don’t you know that Chen Man doesn’t want to marry your son? I’m telling you, I work for the underworld, I will sue you!”
“My son is willing,” Sun Qingxiang said lightly, “Don’t blame me for not giving you a chance, leave now, otherwise, it will be useless even if you are an impermanent.”
He immediately guessed that Ning Wanlai was impermanent. But so what, several young people were not taken seriously by him. Not to mention it was due to impermanence, even Zhen Ming Cha couldn’t control the secret marriage he had arranged.
Ning Wanlai glanced at Xie Lingya, only to see Xie Lingya nod his head in the affirmative and say as confidently as possible: “Stop talking nonsense, leave the urn, and get out.”
Sun Qingxiang glanced at him and sneered several times, then not wanting to miss the auspicious moment and not in the mood to quarrel with his juniors, he took out a tablet made of fire paper and lit it. “You are impermanent, so let’s take a look at the Living Ghost King.”
The flames instantly swallowed up the fire paper tablet, and it was extremely eye-catching in the darkness. When Sun Qingxiang threw it, the fire paper tablet turned into ashes before it hit the ground and floated in a circle to the east in the wind.
There was a strong wind in the cemetery, and Ning Wanlai couldn’t help but tremble, “…Teacher Xie, please discuss it with the Ghost King later!”
Xie Lingya nodded: “I will try my best.”
….
The plants in the cemetery were blown to pieces. There was a sound, and a gust of cold wind rolled in from the east, forming a huge black shadow on the ground. The cold atmosphere exuding from the whole body made everyone present feel like they were in hell.
“I was drinking, why are you disturbing me?” the Ghost King said coldly.
Sun Qingxiang bowed his hands and said: “The dog son is getting married today, and I invited the ghost king to have a drink. By the way, I want you to talk to that impermanence and tell him to leave my family’s business alone.”
Sun Qingxiang’s brows were filled with pride, and he enjoyed this moment that shocked everyone. As a result, Ning Wanlai, who stood above him, became more and more uneasy.
The Ghost King turned around and looked behind with his red eyes, “Who doesn’t-“
He was only halfway through his sentence when his eyes fell on Shi Changxuan and then moved to Xie Lingya next to him.
The Ghost King said quickly: “Excuse me. Excuse me.”
