Chapter Eleven The Wang Family Proposal
Bai Laogui said that the surname Wang and Chen Laoniu had a stir together, and he was bound to win the Shui Sword and would definitely come to him again.
"Uncle Bai, didn't Master Chen say he didn't care about the Wang family?" I asked.
"I don't care, I will definitely intervene in private. The Wang family has been holding back their treasures for generations. There are too many treasures in the family. The old bull seems to be a fairy-like figure, but no one is afraid of death. When he is at his age, he must find a way to prolong his life. Boy, do you know what the most valuable thing in this water is?"
"What is it?" I asked.
"The old clams in the West Sea spit out spirit beads, the black turtle in the North Sea is carrying the river map, the fish and dragons in the East Sea are shocking, and the mermaids in the South China Sea cry all night."
This poem talks about the four most valuable things in the water, namely the moon pearl, the spiritual tortoise shell, the dragon sun saliva, and the mermaid tears.
These four treasures in the water are rare in the world, each one is worthless and the gods are moved when they see it. The Wang family has been holding treasures for generations and has a rich background. It is said that their family has hidden three tears of mermaids passed down from their ancestors.
As long as you are willing to give even a drop, you will not be moved by Chen Guanzhu.
"If Chen Lao Niu interferes, this matter will be troublesome. I will definitely help the next Jiulong Cave of the King. Actually, I know where the Divergent Sword fell, and there is a way to get it back. It's just that the Divergent Sword is just to make money, and the Divergent Sword will be of great use to you in the future. It is the key to revealing your life experience. I want to keep it for you."
"It has something to do with my life experience?"
"Well. If you want to know your life experience, you must go to Jiulong Cave in person in the future. If you don't have my ability, you can't get in without the Fen Water Sword."
Unexpectedly, the reason why Bai Laogui refused to help the King's name's Raofen Shui Sword was actually here. I thought he was afraid that he would die in it.
We guessed that Guanzhu Chen would definitely help the Wang surname, but he never expected that he would use this method. Half a month later, a big news broke out in Xiaba Village that the Wang surnamed would rebuild the ancient altar of the Yellow River to sculpt the statue of the Yellow River Queen.
After first receiving this news, Bai Laogui was still calm.
"Hmph, I know that they will sooner or later beat your ghost wife. As long as they get her help, it will not be difficult for the Wang family to retrieve the water-dividing sword. But the old bull's nose would definitely not have imagined that no matter what benefits he promised, the Empress of the Yellow River would not be moved."
"With the Yellow River Empress having a statue of a god, it means having a place to live in the world and can also accumulate merits and practice. Are you so sure that she will not be moved?" I asked.
"Are you nonsense? I know that the water-dividing sword is of great use to you, and of course she also knows it. Don't forget that she is your wife."
Bai Laogui is extremely confident, but in modern society, even if you only have a false reputation, you may not be able to live together for the rest of your life even after getting married and having children.
I have only met the Queen Mother of the Yellow River so far. Will she let go of such a good thing for me?
If it were me, I might not have done so.
It’s not that I am a person who is indifferent, but an exaggerated era. If you don’t cheat, you are already true love. What’s more, there is no love between me and her.
The ancient altar was repaired in ten days. I went to visit the day I finished it. It can be seen that the Wang family really spent money. The ancient altar was made of white marble, and it was twisted and turned from the river bank to the water for a hundred meters long. The cost was probably more than one million.
The statue of the Yellow River Queen stands in the center of the altar, life-sized, and is wearing a red dress with red cloth covering her head.
When I saw the red cloth on her head, I felt annoyed for no reason, especially when I saw the red cloth embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, the red cloth embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, wasn’t the red cloth embroidered with dragons and phoenixes the red veil used by the bride?
There were many villagers who came to watch the ceremony, and Guanzhu Chen also came.
I squeezed into the crowd and saw the Wang and Chen Guanzhu talking, and there was a young man with beautiful eyes standing next to him.
The statue of the god was built, and the superstitious foolish people and women wanted to kowtow to worship, but they stopped the Wang family and only allowed the handsome young man to have four incense sticks alone.
Seeing this situation, I felt even more suspicious.
I didn't have the mood to continue watching the fun, so I ran back and talked about this with the old man Bai.
After hearing what I said, Old Bai was shocked.
"Uncle Bai, what is the Wang family going to do?"
"I can't tell you. Just like what we did back then, they are going to propose to your wife."
"..." Bai Laogui's words are so awkward.
"But you don't have to worry. Since the Yellow River Queen told you her boudoir name, it means that you have recognized you as your husband in your heart and will never marry anyone else." Bai Laogui comforted me and said.
Alas, although I don’t have any deep feelings for the Queen Mother of the Yellow River, I still feel very unhappy when I think of someone making her a move.
After all, she is also my nominal wife. As a man, she is unbearable and choked in her throat in one breath.
I felt very unhappy all afternoon, but I didn't have any idea.
After dinner, Bai Laogui and I rowed a rotten boat to Xiaba Village.
The Yin-Dear marriage is held at night. The Wang family will definitely have big moves tonight, and it may even be held that night.
Although Bai Laogui kept saying that the Empress of the Yellow River would not marry anyone else, I saw that his face was as worried as me.
It is midsummer and the water plants on the river bank are lush.
Bai Laogui and I got off the boat from afar and swam towards the ancient altar along the river bank. When the distance was very close, we hid among the dense aquatic plants and watched the situation on the ancient altar.
There are many people on the river bank of the ancient altar. In addition to the Wang family, you can vaguely see the Taoist priests of Huiji Temple. But it's still early and they haven't done anything yet.
"Uncle Bai, will the Yellow River Queen appear tonight?" I asked Old Gui Bai in a low voice.
“Definitely.”
"But you said she hasn't come to me because it's inconvenient for her now, why would she show up if others look for her?" I felt a little savory.
"She was indeed involved in a very troublesome thing before. She didn't want to implicate you, so she wouldn't meet you." Bai Laogui said.
"What's the trouble?" I asked.
"This matter is related to the underworld. After the King of the Yellow River disappeared, the underworld began to interfere in the matter on the Yellow River. There are eight kings in the Yellow River, but the underworld only found seven sides of the Yellow River Order. They suspected that it was your ghost wife who hid the eighth side of the Yellow River Order."
"Is the eighth side of the Yellow River Order really hidden by the Yellow River Empress?"
"Of course not. If your wife really got it, she would have become the King of the Yellow River long ago. How could she agree to marry you as her wife?"
Bai Laogui never told me about the troubles encountered by the Yellow River Queen, but now he told me the truth. He didn't expect that it was related to the underworld.
Alas, since I was beaten by Xie Lan as a corpse-catching man, my worldview has long been subverted and broken.
Now that the underworld has come out, is the King of Hell still far away?
Thinking of the King of Hell, I couldn't help but think of the King of Hell for nine years.
Huixiang said that on the first day of the first lunar month this year, the King of Hell only ordered my name, and later Bai Laogui said that Huixiang was talking nonsense.
But thinking about Chen Qiu and Chen Guanzhu mentioned to me that they had been mentioned to me for nine years, I think this matter is not that simple, let alone Huixiang has no need to lie to me. I can't figure it out, and I'm too lazy to think about it. Anyway, I'm just following Mr. Bai now, and he will definitely not harm me.
Later I also asked Bai Laogui that if I had not agreed to follow him as a corpse-shooter, would my life not deviate from normal track and would have married and had children from nine to five like ordinary people.
Bai Laogui said that what should come will always come. People can avoid bad weather or people they don’t want to see, but no one can avoid their own destiny.
And my destiny was calculated from the beginning.
...
Time passes very slowly, and it doesn’t feel good at soaking in water at all. There are many mosquitoes and blood-sucking lees in the water.
In the bitter torture, midnight finally came.
After Master Chen appeared, the handsome young man I had seen during the day also appeared.
He was dressed in the ancient groom's outfit, and a big red flower was tied on his chest, looking very happy.
"Cao, I really plan to marry directly. Who gave him the face?" Bai Laogui couldn't help but swear.
"Who else can you do? Chen Lao Niu's nose." I was speechless.
"Old Chen's nose's Taoist movement is on the shore, not in the water. Do you really think he is a turtle and amphibious?"
The young man was like me to burn incense for the Yellow River Queen, but it turned out worse than me. My fourth ghost incense was lit and extinguished, but his one couldn't lit it at all.
It seems that the Yellow River Queen is really as Bai Laogui said, and she values my husband and wife status very much.
Just as I continued to observe and was about to see how the Yellow River Queen slapped the Wang family in the face, Guanzhu Chen walked up to the ancient altar with something in his hand.
After seeing what was in his hand, Bai Lao Ghost's face changed drastically.
