Several years ago, the man in black had also taught Yu Li to take others' lives in the same way. Now, hearing Fei Xuemin say so, I couldn't help but feel nervous.
After my question, Fei Xuemin hesitated for a moment, looking at me with confusion and asked, "You've also seen that young man?"
I didn't know what to say and could only nod in agreement.
He squinted and asked, "Who is he exactly?"
This question puzzled me, and I asked back, "He has already taught you how to deprive others of their souls, and you don't even know his identity?"
Fei Xuemin shook his head: "I just feel that he is very mysterious, he wouldn't let me ask about many things. He just told me this method and then disappeared."
As I was thinking, He Tingyun's voice suddenly came: "Fei Xuemin, do you want me to attach myself to the person who killed my son? You're dreaming!"
"Tingyun, only this way can we live together, and I have been waiting for this day for a long time." Fei Xuemin rushed over, trying to grab He Tingyun's hands, but she evaded him.
At least He Tingyun's current attitude could make me feel relieved, she didn't want to attach herself to someone else's body.
Fei Xuemin at this moment was almost possessed, he wouldn't listen at all. He slapped the bride's face hard and scolded, "It's you who killed my son. I have been wanting to tear you apart day and night, but for the sake of my plan, I have to face your disgusting face. Even if Tingyun doesn't attach, I will kill you today!"
The bride collapsed in tears and cried, "No, I know I was wrong..."
"Shut up!" Fei Xuemin slapped her hard again, making the bride cry even more pitifully.
Fei Xuemin stomped fiercely. When he saw her crying non-stop, he went into the kitchen, and when he came out, he was holding a kitchen knife.
This is the rhythm for killing someone!
I hurriedly stopped him, anxious: "Wait, I can make you and He Tingyun be together!"
"But you're not a fairy!" Fei Xuemin pushed me away, raised the kitchen knife and was about to strike the bride.
I grabbed his arm and said loudly, "I can arrange a ghost marriage for you and He Tingyun, then you can be together forever."
"Ghost marriage?" Fei Xuemin asked in confusion, looking at me and asking in a deep voice, "Are you not deceiving me?"
"I have nothing to gain by lying to you!" Seeing his emotions slightly improved, I continued, "But you have to promise me not to harm a single hair of the bride. After the matter is done, I will hand her over to the police."
After thinking for a while, Fei Xuemin finally nodded in agreement. I looked at He Tingyun, her face was cold, but she did not object, which could be considered as consent.
Locking the bride in the room, I had only arranged a ghost marriage once before, and many details were not very clear.
After calling home and asking Grandpa about the preparations for ghost marriage, I finally disclosed the matter about Yu Rubing. Grandpa said he would find a way, and I should bring Yu Rubing back.
After hanging up the phone, I wrote down some needed items on a banknote and gave it to Du Xiaolan. She surprisingly didn't say a word and left with the note in hand.
The atmosphere calmed down in an instant, He Tingyun continued to stand alone, while Fei Xuemin, unable to hold his son, could only look at each other and talk.
I paced around in the room with nothing to do, then when the door opened, Du Xiaolan came back carrying a plastic bag.
Clearing everything from the tea table, I went to the kitchen to fetch a bowl of clean water and put it on the table. From the plastic bag, she took out three white and three red candles and placed them.
Then she took a red thread and wrapped it around the candles, tying the ends to the fingertips of Fei Xuemin and He Tingyun.
After doing this, just as I was about to start, the tightly locked door suddenly opened, and I looked anxiously to see a middle-aged woman entering as if she were invisible.
At the sight of her, I was stunned, and even Du Xiaolan let out a surprised sound.
We had seen this middle-aged woman before, she was the one who conducted the marriage between Liu Jiguang and Li Qingqing in the past.
Looking at her silently walking over, I was about to speak when she glanced at me and nodded, saying, "The ghost marriage can begin."
I didn't respond, furrowing my brows as I asked, "Who are you? Why do I always see you?"
"I am not a human!" the middle-aged woman said calmly without any emotional fluctuations, "I am a ghost matchmaker."
"Ghost matchmaker?" Dou Xiaolan's puzzled voice replaced my question.
The ghost matchmaker looked at Dou Xiaolan and explained, "Just like the matchmakers in the mortal realm, I only bring them together, while he serves as a witness. Both are indispensable."
She pointed at me and continued, "I have seen you when you were still a baby in swaddling clothes. Last time I saw you, I was a bit skeptical, but now, it looks like it's really you."
I sighed inwardly. She had witnessed my ghost marriage, and she should also know my ghost wife.
Not wanting to inquire about my own matters at this moment, I looked at Fei Xuemin and He Tingyun and said it could begin, then let the two of them and Xia He place their fingers and arms into the bowl of clear water to drip their blood into it.
The blood of spirits is different from that of the living. Their blood is not red, but a light pink, almost transparent.
Grandpa had mentioned this step several times over the phone. Only by doing this could Fei Xuemin come into contact with his son Xia He, otherwise they could only have face-to-face conversations in the future, but not truly touch his son.
"Kneel!" After the blood dripped into the bowl, the ghost matchmaker suddenly sternly commanded.
The previously quite aggressive He Tingyun obediently knelt down, while Fei Xuemin turned his head, looking at her puzzled, asking why they had to kneel.
The ghost matchmaker did not give him a good look, and coldly said, "I told you to kneel, so kneel. There's no need for so many questions."
The imposing voice made me feel nervous as well. After all, Fei Xuemin was a person, and the ghost matchmaker was a ghost. Faced with a ghost, Fei Xuemin didn't dare say anything and obediently knelt down in front of me.
Although I didn't know what the ghost matchmaker meant by having the two of them kneel in front of me, she was still my elder in a way. Moreover, when Liu Jiguang and Li Qingqing had a ghost marriage, they also kneeled before me, so this should be a kind of ceremony.
After the three of them drank the mixed blood and water in the bowl, I followed Grandpa's method to tie a knot in the red thread and took it down from the six candles.
Grandpa said this knot was a union of yin and yang. As long as the thread entered the bodies of both parties, the ghost marriage would be established. If one party wanted to repent, they would have to pull the thread out from their bodies.
