Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 1751 The Mysterious Marriage 1000 Year Ago
This is a very neat marriage letter written in block letters.

First of all, time and people are written on it.

The time was indeed the early years of the Song Dynasty, but the emperor's year was not marked, as if to avoid something.

Among the characters, the man is called the eldest son of the Wu family.

It also clearly states what his name is, what his character is, he was born on a certain day of a certain month, and his age at that time.

It's like recording the profile of a slave.

But the title of the woman is very cryptic.

There is no description of the woman's surname or age, but only a description of a noble girl married in heaven, a queen of nobility.

But the content after that looks very appalling.

The marriage book directly describes the difference in rank between the two parties in the marriage.

The status of this heavenly married lady is extremely noble, and ordinary people can afford it.

However, she married the eldest son of the Wu family, and married the wealth and honor of the Wu family. She hoped that after marriage, she would spread branches and leaves for the Wu family.

As a price, the Wu family must guard the secret place here for generations.

Do: don't listen; don't smell, don't look; don't guess, don't presume.

From then on, I can make a living here by farming with peace of mind, and clean up the secret mountains outside.

In order not to attract attention, their descendants are not allowed to do business in the world, take part in scientific examinations, participate in government affairs, and are not allowed to be useful people in the world.

Even if you have a lot of money, you can only live an ordinary life, keep firewood and rice, and be a woodcutter in the forest.

But if an outsider intends to invade the secret realm, he must resist with death and cannot take advantage of it.

Moreover, the formula for opening and closing the secret realm must be passed on from one generation to the next, and must not be passed on to others. Once lost, ten thousand deaths cannot be redeemed.

And if any nobleman enters the secret realm, he must quickly avoid it and not get close.

Otherwise, you will have to bear the disaster of killing yourself and exterminating your family! 】

The meaning described in this marriage letter is very clear and direct, without the slightest favor. It is not so much a marriage letter as it is a threatening transaction contract.

But from the beginning to the end, there was no mention of this noble lady's name, nor did she explain where this nobleman came from, what kind of family...

But after turning the page of the marriage letter, there was a section of crude calligraphy on the back, and the content was even more unexpected.

This was obviously filled in later by the Wu family at that time.

Maybe it was because I was too scared at that time, and the handwriting was messed up. It can be seen that the person who wrote at that time was trembling, terrified and unable to control himself.

This is an ancient prose that is relatively close to the vernacular, and its general content is:
[The sinner Wu's old kowtowed before death, committed a heinous crime and knew that he would not live, so he left this book with tears of blood, praying to the nobles to let the old man and young son live.

The old man was originally born in the grass, mixed in the mountains and fields, as humble as grass, and had no desire to climb the dragon and the phoenix.

But because of God's mercy, he married the Goddess to my son. The old man and his family were so grateful that there was nothing to repay.

Only enshrine it every day, and dare not desecrate it for a day.

Look at the sky and see, the goddess gave birth to Lin'er one day, and the old man's family was full of his glory, even though he died without regret.

However, there was an accident. Less than half a year after the goddess married into our sect, she suddenly fell ill and died.

The old man spent all his wealth and hired many famous doctors, but he couldn't cure him.

The old man is terrified day and night, and there is nowhere to find nobles! !
I have to bury the goddess generously, at the head of my family's ancestral tomb.

The old man knew that the crime was serious and he did not dare to live, so he killed my eldest son and buried him as a goddess.

When the goddess was married, the slaves and maids she brought did not dare to stay.

After I killed it, I sent it here to guard the bed for the goddess.

The property brought by the goddess, I dare not keep a penny of it, so I will send it here and return it to the nobles.

The old man did not dare to live, and wept with his old wife, wishing both of them to commit suicide and be buried as a goddess.

Nobles taught the old man the formula of sealing the well, and the old man also took it into the coffin, and no one else in the world knew it.

There is only one young son left in the family, who is young and ignorant.

Please nobles see our sincerity, don’t take your anger on him, pray for your life, the old man and old wife will be like cows and horses forever, and return the favor of nobles~~
After writing this passage, I left a name, Wu Changlu.

After reading the marriage letter and the message, what happened to this family in the early Song Dynasty is very clear.

Judging from the marriage letter, this family known as the "nobility" has a very noble status and strong strength.

They married their daughters to the old Wu family who were farming here at that time.

As a dowry, the new daughter-in-law brought a certain amount of wealth, as well as a noble lineage.

The original intention of this marriage was to allow the daughter of the nobleman to continue her descendants here, so that the Wu family in this mountain could have the blood of the nobleman and become a side branch of the nobleman.

Then the Wu family will always guard the secret place here for the nobles.

That stone well should be the passage leading to the secret realm.

They have mastered the formula to open and close the mouth of the well. If outsiders come to invade, they must rise up and resist, and then seal the mouth of the well with the formula.

This is a marriage, and it is also a transaction.

Unexpectedly, however, the transaction was quickly interrupted.

The woman married to the nobleman suddenly contracted a serious illness and died within half a year.

The cause of her death may be disease, or there may be other reasons, which will not be studied in detail.

But in the end, the husband of this noble lady, the eldest son of the Wu family, was killed and buried after his wife died.

And the old couple died for their daughter-in-law because of fear.

This was unbelievable in the moral concepts of the time.

And this old man surnamed Wu, before he died, put the dowry brought by this noble lady here, waiting for the nobles to come and take it away.

From this point of view, the marriage itself was not out of their original intention, and it was a bit forced.

And it embodies two important information:
First, although the old couple surnamed Wu and this nobleman are theoretically in-laws, their status is very different, and they are very afraid of them.

They knew that the so-called in-laws would not show any mercy when facing them, and they could kill their whole family if they turned their backs.

Therefore, after the death of the new daughter-in-law, he will kill his eldest son to be buried, and commit suicide together with his wife, just to save the life of the youngest son.

Where the hell is such an in-law?How could he be so cruel and cold-blooded?

The second is: the Wu family and the nobles at that time were actually inseparable.

The connection that the nobleman wanted to establish was carried out within the bloodline after the noblewoman gave birth to offspring.

So when the noble woman was seriously ill and unable to speak in bed, he could not seek help from the nobles.

After the incident, the old couple hid the bed and dowry in this place, and no one opened it for more than 1000 years.

In other words, after the noble lady died, the nobles did not come to find their back account.

Maybe it was forgotten, maybe it was simply not taken to heart.

In short, this mysterious marriage of the Wu family in the Song Dynasty was buried behind the mud wall like this, and no one knew about it...
