Kowloon pull coffin

Most of the things burned for the dead to wear follow the ancient rituals, and the paper clothes are also in the shape of ancient dresses.The paper bundles displayed in her shop are also in retro shapes, and even Ming notes are hand-cut out of yellow paper with stamps.It's not like the printed coins I've seen before, with a face value of hundreds of millions.

Then the proprietress asked me if I had any requirements for my figure. I roughly made gestures with her, and then asked her how much it was.

"No money. If I charge money for the things burned for the Yellow River Empress, wouldn't it be a life-threatening death."

"You know about me?" I asked in surprise.

"The fact that Empress Huang He is going to marry someone, I'm afraid there are not many local ghosts who don't know about it."

"Then how do you know that I am the one who will marry her?" I asked again.

"You were sent by Liu Hechou to find me. Who else is qualified to be a matchmaker for Empress Huang He besides Liu Hechou?"

Well, I have to admit that this woman is very smart, and she must have a close relationship with Liu Hechou.

After returning from the paper shop, I decided to go to the ancient altar to meet the Empress of the Yellow River that night.

The proprietress of the paper-making shop said that the local ghosts almost knew about Huang He's marriage, and she would be angry if I didn't move for a while.

The reason my wedding with her was not completed in Liu Hechou's yard last time was because she was entangled by the local city god.

Now that the news of Huang Heling being in the hands of Guanzhu Chen of Huiji Temple has been spread, the City God will definitely not pester her anymore, and the Empress Huang He has been waiting for me to marry her since she pulled out.

The moonlight is not bad tonight, the breeze is coming slowly and the water is calm.

I stepped onto the ancient altar with the censer in my hand, lit four sticks of incense in front of her idol, and was about to kneel down and kowtow.

Unexpectedly, no matter how hard I bent down this time, I still couldn't kneel down.

"A man has gold under his knees. Kneeling to the sky and kneeling to his parents, there is no reason to kneel to his wife. Before, you and I had no status. Now that I have promised the Jun family to be a wife, I can't do such a great gift again."

A familiar voice came from afar from the heart of the river, and fell directly into my heart.

I looked up and saw the white mist rising from the river, gradually condensing into an incomparably graceful figure.

Empress Huang He appeared...

I had mixed feelings seeing her again because this time she was there for me.

"I thought you would keep me waiting for a long time." Empress Huang He said quietly.

"..."

I guessed right, the Empress of the Yellow River was indeed waiting for me.Compared with her affection, I feel sincerely guilty for my previous worries.

Then, the Empress of the Yellow River stepped on the water and slowly came to my side.

When she wasn't close to me, I longed for her to be close.And when she really stood in front of me, I was so nervous that I didn't know what to say.

After a long time of embarrassment, it suddenly occurred to me that I should take out the Shark Tears.

"This is the tears of the sharks in the South China Sea. Liu Hechou said that it can help you keep your Yin body forever." After I finished speaking, I handed the porcelain bottle to her.

Empress Huang He opened the plug after receiving it, and looked at the shark's tears suspended in Wugou's true water, she was suddenly infatuated.

I don't know if it's my illusion, but I seem to see the sparkle in her eyes.

"The shark's tears are extremely precious, are you really willing to give them to me?"

"You can even give up the Yellow River order for me, so what are the shark's tears?" I said.

"You're wrong, not to mention one Yellow River Token, even if you add up to eight Yellow River Tokens, in my eyes they can't compare to this drop of shark tears."

Empress Huang He told me that Merman Tears can not only fix her Yin body forever, but in a sense it is equivalent to making her reborn as a human being.

If there were no shark tears, even if she became the king of the Yellow River, she would still be imprisoned in the Yellow River for the rest of her life.

Over the years, she has watched the fireworks between the two sides of the strait in the water, and her biggest wish is to go ashore again one day and be a human being, even if it is just an ordinary person.

If Empress Huang He hadn't told me personally, I wouldn't have known how precious this shark tear was, and how important it was to her.

Humanity is that the Yellow River has nine twists and turns, and after all, it flows eastward.

But I don't know that there will be a ray of soul in the river, which does not drift with the current, but stays at the bottom of the river for a hundred years like a day, staring at the fireworks on both sides of the river.

My heart was sore when I heard what she said, and finally I couldn't bear my emotions anymore, and I threw her into my arms...

Chapter 19 The Patrolman

That night, I chatted with Empress Huang He on the ancient altar for a long time, and finally let me know her background.From now on, I no longer call her Empress Huanghe, but start calling her by her first name, 姽萧.

First of all, Yanhua told me that she was from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

I only knew that she was a woman from the old society before, but I never thought that she was so old. Counting the time, the Wanli of the Ming Dynasty was more than 400 years ago.

More than 400 years ago, there was a small village called Linjiazhai here, the birthplace of Yuhua.

One year, the Yellow River flooded, and the witch in the village said that it was the King of the Yellow River who was getting married.

Hearing that the village was going to choose the Empress of the Yellow River, Yuhua was so frightened that she died.

The Lin family village is very small and poor. Every year, the township tax collection does not pay enough tax, and they have been bullied by people from other villages in the village. This time, the election of the Empress of the Yellow River will definitely have to come from the Lin family village.

Although there are more than one girl in the village who has not left the court, she is the only one who can sing ditties.

When she was a child, she grew up in her grandfather's troupe. She followed Hua Dan's singing skills, and she also practiced Dao Ma Dan's riding a horse.Not only can she sing ditties, but she is also good at playing flower guns.

Originally, her grandfather wanted to train her as a pillar, but it was a pity that the troupe was disbanded in the time of famine, and not long after her grandfather passed away, she returned to Linjiazhai.

Later, Yuhua was indeed selected as the Empress of the Yellow River, and at first she thought about running away, but if she escaped, her parents, siblings and younger siblings would be arrested and convicted by the squire.

That year, Yanhua was 16 years old, biting her arm and crying all night...

Although more than 400 years have passed, she still has endless sadness on her face when she says these things.

We all know that after the death of Empress Huang He, the grievances will not dissipate, so they will make evil around the ancient altar, but no one has ever known where their grievances come from.

What they hate is not their miserable life experience, but when they were tied to the ancient altar and brushed tung oil naked, what they faced was not gratitude and sympathy, but pairs of eyes full of expectation, excitement and desire.

In the end, Yuhua told me a truth that made me extremely speechless. This truth is only known to the Empress Huang He who died in the sinking of her body.

The King of the Yellow River has a god in his body, and he has never married a mortal as his wife.

In other words, the so-called human sacrifice was a deception from beginning to end.

Hearing this, I feel sad from the bottom of my heart for the women of the Yellow River in history, and even more saddened by the viciousness of people's hearts.
