    "The Underworld Marriage

===1 I'm pregnant ====

Ever since I moved to Liaodong Bay, I've somehow had a strange dream.

    In the dream, she worshiped heaven and earth with a strange man, and even entered the bridal chamber.

    The most recent one was half a month ago, and every time the previous dream was repeated, it would end there when he entered the bridal chamber.

    But that time was not the night he wasn't going to just leave me alone like that, touching and looking as he should. All in all, I was kind of the one person he ate up in his dreams.

    I woke up sore and aching like I was going to fall apart, and not only that

    When I woke up, I found the sheets were red, and I was embarrassed to see the traces left by my aunt, and because of that, I was despised by my mom for a long time.

    I've always wondered, ever since I started developing, my period has almost always patronized me at the end of the month. How did it suddenly become the middle of the month

    Not only that, but after that one time in the middle of the month, my aunt hasn't come back, and it's been a month now

    At first I didn't care about it, thinking that it was because I had recently been rushing through a manuscript, always facing the computer half the night without sleep, which led to irregular menstruation.

    But the menstrual cycle has been delayed again and again, and it's been a month and a half now, and there's still no sign of it coming, so I can't sit still for a bit.

    In order not to worry my mom, I used the excuse of coming out to play and went to the hospital for a checkup.

    The doctor asked me briefly about my situation, first asking about the usual amount of visits from my great aunt, asking about any history of gynecological problems, and then asking about my recent routine.

    After I responded truthfully, she said I should hold my pee and go get an ultrasound to see if I had any other gynecological problems

    After waiting outside the ultrasound room for half a day again, it was finally my turn to go in, and the doctor who examined me went over my belly with an instrument, hovering over it for a long time never determining the final cause of the disease.

    She stared at the screen of the ultrasound instrument for half a day and asked her colleague next to her, Look at this, is it a symptom of pregnancy? It's a very rare pregnancy, and it's the first time I've seen such an inconspicuous one in so many years of practicing medicine.

    The other doctor who was taking notes and typing came over and scratched his hair in the same confusion as the doctor and said, This is really but looking at the image, it really does look like a fetal sac, except the buds aren't very visible.

    I lay in the hospital bed, speechless, listening to the topics of discussion between the two doctors.

    The first feeling is that these two must be here for internship and then pretending to be farts in front of me the second is that the machines in their hospital are out of order and they need to get a specialist to do the repairs

    I'm still a young girl, I've never even held hands with a man, how can I get pregnant?

    Listening to it was very angry, wanted to sit up, but was held down by the doctor next to him, Hey you don't move ah we have not finished diagnosing it

    What's the point of diagnosis I sat up with a black face, withdrew the paper and wiped away the sticky liquid, glaring at her and yelling, I don't even have a boyfriend, how can I have a child

    The doctor had already taken a screenshot in time and transferred it to the computer, the doctor who had been a little uncertain stared at the computer screen for a long time and explained to me in a very puzzled manner, Whether you have a boyfriend or not, but I have to be sure of one thing, you are indeed pregnant with this one Look, this is your gestational sac, which is shown very clearly however

    Quack, I said, so angry that I didn't even bother to pick up the diagnosis, picking up my bag and heading for the office.

    Unwilling to go to a more authoritative, but also Liaodong Bay's largest hospital, but the results are still the same, the doctor looked at the instrument grinding two can play down, the uterus anterior, up and down xx, before and after xx, the uterus has a gestational sac, see fetal buds, echo uniformity, the fetal heart is stable.

    I can't believe I'm pregnant.

===2 Mysterious package ===

Back home, guilty of thinking about how to get rid of this child of unknown origin without God's knowledge.

    Xiaoyan back ah dad see me listless into the door, greeted, sitting on the sofa end looking at the information from the archaeology, casually asked: how about Liaodong Bay fun.

    also, well and the imperial city nature can not be compared I dryly laughed a little, sighing sad life, have not yet begun to taste what is love, but by the inexplicable appearance of the child messed up my everything, I was the doctor and an inexplicable child to play, in the end, who ah such ah to mess with me!

    My dad is an authority on archaeology, and my mom is a professor in the archaeology department. With such a superb pair of mom and dad, I can only be led by the nose by them.

    This time we moved our family over here to examine a Ming Dynasty war ship.

    According to the locals, the ghost ship suddenly appeared one day, and at night some bold ones approached and heard strange noises coming from inside.

    The matter was quickly reported locally to the authorities, who gave the task of this expedition to my dad.

    I'm in the foreign language department. I had no choice but to come to work on vacation to get more money.

    I leaned over and looked, cocking my head at the pictures, Did you get anything out of it?

    No, it's unbelievable that the ship hasn't sunk after four hundred years of dilapidation Dad shook his head with emotion, pointing to one of the pictures of the skeleton of the general who died from an arrow and asked Did you see anything else when you found him then

    The skeleton in that picture is a little different than the one outside, his hair is still in a bun and his clothes are better preserved than the others.

    This makes me can not help but think of that day's shocking scene, that is the first time I saw that spectacular scene, that a set of seven skeletons above, probably there are a few dozen it is lying quietly in the cabin, where they come from, what ever happened no one knows.

    All that was known was that the ship was from the Ming Dynasty, and the skeletons on board were generals of the Ming Dynasty.

    I'm a bit of an agoraphobe, so I quietly withdrew from the group so as not to drag my feet and came out onto the deck to have a look around.

    Who knew that some of the decks of the cabins were of strong wood, while others were badly rotted with age.

    One didn't pay attention and planted his foot in the air, as if he had kissed something.

    The cabin is not big or high, climb up just to face a set of skeletons nailed to the fixed in the cabin, I touched my own lips incredibly wide-eyed, could it be that what I kissed was actually the bones of a dead person

    As I kept hypnotizing and brainwashing myself, I heard a strange voice: Yan'er I've finally waited for you

    I was so creeped out that I immediately stood up and looked around for the source of the sound, head heavy as I swept the skeleton in front of me and just wondered.

    Skinless skeletons with black eyeholes that looked like they were staring at me gave me a feeling of a fried scalp.

    Suddenly, the skull's head slowly changed its appearance, and a clear, clean face emerged, transforming into a man, smiling at me.

    My eyes widened and I fainted with a cry of horror

    Now that I think about it, the situation at that time was really a little weird, how a good skeleton, suddenly turned into a human face, and even smiled at me

    It seems like I've been having dreams ever since that weird thing, was he the man I was married to in the dream?

    Realizing that my dad was waiting for me to answer, I shook my head as if I had just woken up, looked at the picture in his hand and said, It's just like when you guys saw me, a skeleton. By the way he had a beaded flower in his hand, gee how come the picture isn't there

    What beaded flowers we didn't see when we went in. The father stared at the picture in confusion and difference. Did you see any other strangers appearing or hiding when you fell in.

    I cocked my head and thought about it, as if I hadn't seen anything other than that weird scene

    Shaking his head, he stared at the picture in his dad's hand and realized that there really was no sign of the bead flower in that picture.

    That's strange. Did I fall and break my head? It's an illusion.

    No I fell right in front of the skeleton then, and the beaded flower was clutched in the skeleton's again hand as if it were brand new. I was awake at the time, but then suddenly blurred.

    Dad muttered, Why didn't we see the beads and flowers? Did someone go in before we went down?

    My cell phone rang and the caller claimed it was a delivery.

    Confused, I replied, I haven't ordered a package in the last two days.

    May I ask your name of Zhang Yan and this cell phone number is a real name, the courier boy heard, seriously review the content.

    Yes, ma'am, Kae-yeon.

    That would be you, the phone address was given to us, there's no mistaking it

    I said hello to my dad and went out to get the delivery and sign for it.

    Looking over the small box in his hands, it was a package the size of a stationery box.

    Open the outer layer to reveal the delicate packaging inside, which comes with a black dragon and phoenix post

    That post was ignored by me and I opened that delicate box straight away and was screaming out in shock :)

===3 Plagiarism post ====

Dad saw me drop the package in my hand and immediately came over to see what was going on, What's with all the yelling?

    I pointed to the beaded flower that fell out of the box and ducked deeper into my dad's fear and said, That's it, this beaded flower is the one I saw when I fell into the cabin

    Dad looked at me in surprise, picked up the beaded flowers on the ground and looked at them, and finally landed his eyes on the dragon and phoenix post with a black background.

    Some trembling picked up, looked at the bead flower slightly frowned, then opened to look at the dragon and phoenix post, instantly pale, dumbfounded

    I saw that my dad's center of gravity was unsteady and was about to fall sideways, so I immediately assisted him and called out to my mom, who was busy in the kitchen, Dad, what's wrong with you? Mom, come here, my dad's not right.

    I didn't have the time to care about that inexplicable thing at this point, and rushed to join my mom in dragging my dad to the couch.

    Accompanied by sitting aside, intending to call the rescue 120 to save people. Dad a little trembling to stop my action, the hands of the dragon and phoenix post to my mom to see, mouth yelled: sinning ah

    This, this is, my mom took the dragon and phoenix wedding invitation and stared at it without looking at the content but only at the outer skin.

    Tightened his fists immediately opened, took a look at the content inside, but also all of a sudden pale face covered his mouth, sad with tears, apprehensively asked my father: His father, this will not be someone else's intentional mischief ah

    Mischief do you think anyone would take their own birthdate and our daughter's birthdate together to make such a wedding invitation for the underworld Dad looked at the beaded flower in his other hand, looked pityingly at the oblivious me, and laughed bitterly.

    Underworld wedding invitations my birthdate

    I finally realized why my dad was so nonchalant, and why I felt something was wrong there with that dragon and phoenix wedding invitation.

    General wedding invitations when the red paper, gold dragon and phoenix auspicious design

    But that wedding invitation was very special, it was a black hot stamped dragon and phoenix pattern I saw such a post for the first time, and thought to ask my dad how it was. I didn't expect

    So it is the beads and flowers for hire means so it is, my dad mumbled somewhat mechanically, and I listened closely to understand what he was saying.

    My mom learned of the wedding dragon and phoenix post, like a demon, immediately turned out a phone book, made a phone call out. I can't hear what the other side said, just after my mom recounted the story, what the people there said, my mom kept nodding her head, saying I know, I understand.

    After that phone call, my mom took my dad and my hand and said, It's going to be fine, I've invited a high ranking person, and when he comes, our Xiaoyan will be safe.

    I don't know if it was the pregnancy that made me sleepy, but I was obviously wide awake just a few moments ago, but I just wanted to sleep in this moment. I smiled a little stiffly and nodded, but my eyelids were already fighting and dozing off.

    Pah a hard slap came, my mom apologized and looked at the aggrieved me who covered her face and said, I'm sorry, Xiaoyan. Mom can't let you sleep over if I know that you were so spiritless before because of the relationship of this demon, mom will definitely not condone the demon.

    Mom, what's going on why can't I understand anything you guys are saying my eyelids were fighting and even a slap didn't do the slightest bit of good.

    Xiaoyan, we don't know how to explain this to you, in short, it's our fault. Mom didn't know how to explain and was a little anxious.

    I shook my head, when a voice came from my head, They were wrong, they went so far as to use you to lure out something that shouldn't have been lured out. If I didn't see them as Yan'er's parents, I would have taken their lives

    Who is it who is talking I stood up nervously and looked around, a little scared and at the same time feeling that the voice was familiar and that I had heard it somewhere before.

    Mom and Dad sensed that something was wrong with me and immediately came forward to ask. But it was like their voices had been closed off by me, and the only thing they heard was the man's voice.

    Yan'er, it's me, the voice sounded again.

    I've heard the name Yan'er somewhere before.

    The feeling of drowsiness came again, this time even if my willpower was strong, I finally could not stand it and fainted, before I fainted I subconsciously asked: Who are you.

===4 Jumping off buildings ===

It was cave night again, but this time it wasn't the quaint old house, it was in my room, and I couldn't understand why Mom and Dad had decorated my room like this

    Where are mom and dad I rubbed my somewhat sore head and got up. I looked down and saw myself wearing the bride's wedding clothes, which were exactly the same as the one in my dream, so I was amazed!

    I still remember everything that happened before the coma, the wedding invitations for the underworld wedding, the beaded flowers for the wedding, those were all from Dad's own words.

    If I'm right in the head, then I guess all that stuff was actually meant for me. So, am I wearing this now?

    Yan'er are you awake, the man's voice came from behind me, and I didn't even notice that there was a man standing in front of the window, and he was just like that, with his back to me looking out the window at the sunset,.

    I pulled off the red cover on my head, through the man swept the sunset outside the window, this evening's sunset is so big and red, I grew so never seen such a strange scene, that emits light like the color of blood!

    Suddenly noticing that something was wrong, this was my room, how could mom and dad let a strange man appear here staring intently at the man's back and questioning loudly, Who are you who let you enter my room without authorization

    We're already married, what's wrong with me showing up here he still had his back to me, but the voice gave me the creeps

    He's the one who talked to me through the air.

    Who's married to you who the hell are you I jumped out of bed in fear and stared at the man in front of the window in the setting sun, backing up step by step, wanting to try and push my way to the door and wait for a chance to escape

    The man slowly turned and smiled to face me, the shimmering light of the setting sun enveloping him, and he looked like someone who had stepped out of it against the light.

    Under the hazy light, it presented his clearly handsome silhouette, his complexion was a little pale, but it didn't affect his beauty. His straight eyes were a little untamed, and his gaze was clear.

    It's just that the ancient dress looks a bit strange, is it a Hanbok control

    He wore not the clothes of a groom, but the armor of an ancient general, and looked at me with some pity, and a long-lost joy.

    One second he was at the window, and the next he was in front of me.

    Frightened, I immediately withdrew a hairpin from my head and clutched it in my hand, with my green silk draped loose behind me, pointing at him, Don't come over here now get out of my room immediately

    He was a little stunned to hear this, and obediently stood still, not getting any closer. Some forlornly lowered his head, I'm sorry, I didn't fulfill my promise to go back to see you safely, are you angry

    He raised his head to take a step forward, and was immediately rebuked by me with hostility, Answer me, who the hell are you

    Don't you remember me? I'm Geng Lie ah I'm your husband ah he heard me questioning in an unfamiliar tone and gazed at me with some disbelief and hurt.

    Also the weird stance made me stare at him in horror. Leaning against the door, he took advantage of his surprise to grab the door.

    But there was no sign of Mom and Dad in the room, only the dragon and phoenix post with a black background and the beaded flowers lying quietly on the coffee table.

    My fear snapped and I cried out for my mom and dad, overwhelmed. Looking sideways the man named Geng Lie was standing not far behind me, looking at me with some disbelief.

    I pointed the hairpin in my hand at him and backed away from the window, I don't know who you are I said I'm not your wife my name isn't Yan'er, my name is Zhang Yan now that you've been told everything you want to know please leave my house at once or don't blame me for reporting a warning for trespassing

    You're not Yan'er The man's compassionate gaze instantly became surprised and took a step forward to question. Seeing that I nodded with a firm gaze, his expression woodenly became a bit annoyed, even shocked

    He boldly stepped away, coldly chilling his face to lean over, and said carelessly, Since you said that you are not Yan'er, then I have nothing to be concerned about. This place is at least a dozen feet high from the ground, if you dare to jump down, I will consider letting you off the hook

    Damn, turning the tables faster than a book, I glared at him nastily, offended by his look of disdain. Thinking of the possibility of dying at the hands of a pervert, I don't know where I got the courage to push the window open to the point where I planted myself head first. :

===5 Ghostbusters ===

I waited for death to come, for that moment of pain, but I didn't expect to close my eyes and wait for so long, but it was as if nothing happened.

    Opened his eyes wide in surprise, incredulously looking at the man with a weird smile in front of him, just now I'm sure I jumped off, how can I still be in the room

    The light of the setting sun was still as fiery red as the big red wedding dress I was wearing.

    I just want to test you to see if you really dare to jump This man called Geng Lie looked at me admiringly, his mocking gaze had turned into a gentle state, looking at me but not like looking at me, or rather looking through me to see the one who was similar to me again.

    I stared at him with hatred, wanting to break him into pieces

    He reached out to touch my face, and was more or less lost when I subconsciously avoided him, but he didn't push me any further.

    Turned his back and stood by the window looking downstairs, his tone eased a lot, Not only do they look alike, even this temper that would rather bend than bend, is exactly the same

    I moved to the side, deliberately keeping a distance, holding the bead hairpin although afraid, but still stared at him for an instant, swallowed saliva did not dare to have the slightest slack.

    Although you said you are not my Yan'er, but you really are very similar, not only your looks even your temper is almost as fierce. So I won't let you die either, much less hurt you. Geng Lie turned towards me, not exactly floating over and stood in front of me with a somewhat eerie smile, Not only will I not harm you, I will also protect you and take care of you because you are already my wife, my wife of the Underworld Marriage.

    Underworld marriage that dragon and phoenix post I stared wide-eyed at the caveman in my dream, and the dragon and phoenix post with the black background You, you're not human

    Oh, my God. How did I invite such a thing home? What the hell is going on here?

    Tightened his shirt and glared at him angrily

    Don't cover up now every part of your body has been seen by me, have you forgotten about your falling red he smiled at me a little evilly, seeing me nervously clutching my clothes, his smile became even more unrestrained. You are already my woman this is also thanks to your parents, even disobedient to take you to that kind of sinister place

    I took a step back and leaned against the wall in a daze, my mind even more in knots. Could, could the baby be his

    Oh, my God. The kids aren't even alive. They're ghost babies.

    I subconsciously put my hand on the small of my back and tightened my fists, biting only my silver teeth in hatred.

    Was the Underworld Marriage taken away from me for life by a dead ghost I've never seen before?

    That means if I don't reincarnate in this life, I'll be involved with dead ghosts.

    He stood right across from me, clearly saw my small movements, surprised and raised his eyebrows, Pregnant really is the body of the most Yin but only a few times only actually pregnant

    I subconsciously avoided his gaze and looked away from the window, biting my lip in annoyance, I'm not going to give birth to a ghost no matter what you do to me, I'm not going to be led by the nose by you anymore

    The ghost tire is not something you can fight off if you want to, even if you die, your soul will still carry this child and give birth to him for me Geng Lie came up to me, lifting my jaw with impunity, his cold fingers piercing the bones, his smile even more chilling and intimidating, he said confidently: You Even if you want to die, you have to think about your parents first, if you dare to die, I'll let them also give you along with the funeral.

    You're despicable, I couldn't help but curse, looking like a human being and talking in such a hateful way.

    Geng Lie was first surprised by the scolding, then laughed out in disdain, So what if it's not despicable How good are you living people? You're still greedy and shameless. Since the heavens have left me behind, so what if I'm despicable for once..

===6 Stronghold ====

The beaded flower is the bride price, and the dragon and phoenix post has been accepted. Seeing as you look like Yan'er, I'll reluctantly accept you this time. However, you have to be obedient, you know? Otherwise, your parents' lives are still in your hands Geng Lie clamped down on my chin, and after saying those words, he gently sniffed me, and said in a slutty and uninhibited manner of flirtation, Understand?

    My body tensed and I couldn't help but wince, my hand rising with some control.

    Splat sound, a clear slap sound rang out, clear five finger prints on that handsome face, by a male ghost light thin make me very difficult. Hearing his threat I was even more angry, I do not know where to get the courage, actually wanted to slap him, but the next second my body acted on its own.

    I was so scared that I withdrew my own hand, somewhat fearfully pressed against the corner of the wall and looked at him, the tears contained in my eyes, finally couldn't help but slide down, Don't threaten me with my parents they are dead, I am transformed into a severe ghost, I will not let you go

    He froze as I hit him, covering his face and looking at me with some dismay.

    I don't know what he was going to say, but before he could speak, a bell was heard ringing.

    The ringing instantly cleared my confused consciousness, and I couldn't help but look around, curiously searching for the source of the ringing.

    Geng Lie began to raise his eyebrows slightly, then laughed, This is the so-called high-ranking person your parents hired

    What do you mean, I stared at him warily, for some reason the surroundings of the room became smoky all of a sudden and my throat was hard and smoky.

    Curious as to where all this smoke is coming from he smiled a little disdainfully, and before I could answer, he answered for me, Because this isn't reality, this is your dream. They tried to try to suppress me with the Soul Suppressing Bell and wake you up with the Soul Invoking Incense, only they were naive.

    What do you mean, I said as I looked openly at every furnishing in the house, all of which were indistinguishable from reality.

    Suddenly it occurred to me that the moment I jumped off the building I didn't die, not only that, but also appeared in this room unharmed, could it be that I am really just dreaming now?

    And this dream is dominated by the male ghost in front of me

    I was so sleepy. Is it because of him too?

    Geng Lie closed his eyes to listen to something and scratched the cheek I just slapped, Why don't we just let you go back and let the people out there run wild for a bit? I'd like to see who's really behind all this

    He grabbed my hand, whether I wanted to or not, and pulled my wrist and yanked me towards the bedroom, white light hitting me the moment the door was opened. Behind me was a strong push, I almost fell on my ass!

    Pervert, psychopath, asshole, all of these words came to me in a rush, and the moment I got up from the bed, I cried out.

    I figured out that it was useless to be afraid of death anyway, having already been targeted by such a male ghost, death was probably a matter of time.

    When I came back to my senses, looking at my room in front of me laid down the formation, the room's pandemonium thick smoke, immediately covered his mouth, which is doing what artificially create an earthly paradise?

    A man dressed as an old Taoist was shaking a bell in the sealed chamber and holding a duster under his breath. Surprisingly, he didn't die from this smoke, this perseverance is quite impressive too

    Choking to the point of suffocation, I jumped out of bed, crawled out the door with a coughing fit, and asked my mom and dad, who were guarding the outside, Did you invite the high priests to burn down the house, or to save people

    Mom and Dad were glad to see that I was okay and didn't care if the people inside were burning the house down.

    They've been tricked, it's useless to ask them Instead, Geng Lie, who was sitting on the sofa, answered me, and that guy was watching the show with an amused look on his face as if he was watching the action

    My eyes widened in surprise, I didn't realize that he was standing right in front of my eyes like that in broad daylight presenting himself :)

===7 Old Masters ====

Naturally, Mom and Dad couldn't see Geng Lie and rejoiced to see me awake.

    My peace of mind made them praise and admire the high man inside, not caring at all about what the so-called high man had hallucinated my room into

    Seeing that he had successfully suppressed Geng Lie, that old Taoist walked out in triumph, flinging his duster in a fairy-like manner and said, That sinister obstacle has been suppressed by my Soul Suppressing Bell, and as long as your daughter carries this life-preserving talisman around with her, she won't be disturbed by that sinful obstacle.

    I took that amulet he handed over and looked it over, but I heard Geng Lie say, Throw it away that thing is just white paper to me, it's not as valuable as a piece of plutonium.

    I couldn't help but listen to the black face, clenched into a ball in his hands, watching the old Taoist gushing to my parents, they boasted about their own skills, the heart of the slander: the magician is clearly Geng Lie that bastard threw me out of the dream, did not be scared to death by the ghost, but almost smoked to death.

    Now it's this guy's bragging rights. Damn it, I'll let that dead guy take you later.

    But Underworld Wedding Post please Taoist priests to point out a clear path, so that my daughter can get out of the sea of misery, my mom nervously pulled my hand, said anxiously.

    My parents are archaeology professors, naturally meditation wedding post things some understanding, after all, archaeology, sometimes encounter such things, a half-knowledge is also needed.

    Just, how could I have never thought that one day this kind of marriage would be spread on me, or a living person's marriage.

    This, poor Tao also can not help that old Tao heard of the wedding invitation, slightly frowned with a difficult look. Looked at me, not just weak or do something wrong, even subconsciously avoided my gaze, seriously said to my parents: "Your daughter must have some connection with that male ghost, otherwise it will not be obsessed by that male ghost. As long as she doesn't get violated by the male ghost, there won't be any
