Chapter 129
Upon hearing this, Tian Erdai was instantly dumbfounded: "Mr. Chen, what do you mean by this? Tian here is still a golden bachelor to this day; where did a wife in your hands come from?"
Chen Yaozu said nothing further, and with a snap initiated a video call; Tian Erdai naturally had no reason to refuse, and he accepted.
Then a woman appeared on the screen, kneeling there with her back ramrod straight; at a glance, that woman looked rather familiar.
Hiss—
He remembered, and his complexion changed drastically in an instant: "Isn't that the Ghost Bride?"
The Ghost Bride was the WeChat nickname of the Peach Blossom Nightmare ghost whom he had hit on back when she had just come into being not long ago, her eyes full of clear stupidity, who happened to have become slightly familiar with a few worldly matters and managed to get hold of a mobile phone.
At the time he thought the other party was a young widow, a married woman, and the two of them chatted with such sweet nothings that it led to the later rendezvous at the hotel.
His voice came from the phone; upon hearing his voice, the Peach Blossom Ghost Tian showed a touch of agitation: "Is the one speaking in this phone truly my husband?"
Chen Yaozu glanced at her, did not answer, and did not let her rise; he simply used the camera to face her while he chatted with Tian Erdai.
"I believe that friend surnamed Yan has already explained to you: this is a Peach Blossom Nightmare ghost, the 'nightmare' of nightmare."
"Let me explain in detail: this wife of yours, in life she should have been a Guan Jia Nu Zi, and ought to be someone whose parents committed crimes and were sentenced to exile as official slaves."
"Upon arrival at the place of exile she was sold by others to a dead man for a spirit marriage, dressed in wedding robes and sealed alive into a coffin, suffocated to death."
"By rights, she is absolutely a married woman, suiting your taste!"
"However, that should have been three or four hundred years ago; the female ghost newly born now is her, yet again not her."
"If going by true ghost age, it would not exceed three months; if she were a human, you, brat, would have to go in."
"But because she was a Guan Jia Nu Zi when she was still alive 400 years ago, even though 400 years passed before this soul was born, the learning and the rules she ought to have, she has them all!"
"You, brat, are the first man after she came back to life, and the only man; she has now forgotten the 400 years of past dust, and only remembers that you are her man, she is your wife! So this ghost wife, you must take her whether you want to or not! This concerns Qi Luck!"
Chen Yaozu spoke as he walked away; the following words could not be heard by the female ghost.
Normal people, who would still lean in after hearing the other party is a female ghost?
If there is, then they are not normal people! So, Tian Erdai naturally also refused to acknowledge this wife; this damn thing is a ghost! Not a living person; with a living person, ugliness doesn't matter, lights out and it's all the same.
But this damn thing isn't a living person, so what to do?
After walking far enough, Chen Yaozu lowered his voice: "First, this should be the first ghost in the Domestic; she should have Qi Luck on her, and it is Great Qi Luck."
"She cannot die Overseas; if she dies Overseas, this share of Great Qi Luck will scatter Overseas."
The meaning was transparent at a touch.
Lao Tian is a Second Generation, so of course he knows what this means, and of course he is unwilling for such a thing to happen.
So he fell silent, waiting for Chen Yaozu's continuation.
Thus Chen Yaozu continued:
"Domestically, for various reasons, the criminal law cannot touch her, so they sent her out for me to handle."
"But in America, aside from suppressing her with Qiang Ying, or simply executing her by military law, I have no good way to control her!"
"Yet she cannot be beaten to death Overseas, so this falls into a dead loop."
"However, the moment she opened her mouth to acknowledge you as her husband, and herself as your wife, I saw a thread of opportunity in the dark!"
Lao Tian on the other end of the phone suddenly felt uneasy: "What opportunity?" A roguish smile revealed itself on Chen Yaozu's face: "You fly over here, to my place, and I will preside over your marriage."
"She is a dead person from 400 years ago; the laws of that time: Jun Zi, Fu Zi, Fu Qi."
"You come over and discipline your wife properly!"
Lao Tian's face was full of refusal, but his refusal had not yet left his mouth before Chen Yaozu blocked it again with words.
"I'm serious; this is a female ghost with Great Qi Luck; pass this village and you miss this shop."
"Moreover, this Great Qi Luck will let you bask in its reflected glory."
"Second, although she is a Nightmare ghost married woman, the only one who has rolled the bed sheets and had skin-to-skin contact with her is you; she has a strong sense of distance toward everyone else."
"And her thinking is very traditional, completely unlike current girls; as long as you fulfill your responsibility and give her protection, she will not betray you."
"It can be said, you picked up a treasure!"
Telling him to stop the nonsense and hurry over, Chen Yaozu added: "Besides, you need to come over and guard the Great Qi Luck on your wife's body; this is to be brought back to the Domestic."
"If no one watches over her, and she happens to die here one day, the loss would be the Qi Luck of the first manifested female ghost in Dong Fang Shen Zhou after over a hundred years of extinction."
"You tell this matter to your friend Yan Xiansheng; he probably knows how to cooperate with you to quickly get a Visa! If your identity can truly become this female ghost's husband, the Qi Luck entanglement is no small matter!"
"Good, I understand; wait a few minutes, I'll make a call!"
Once the words were finished, Lao Tian's end wore a grave expression as he hung up the video call; he felt he should go discuss with Father; would Dad ultimately welcome having a female ghost as a Er Nai Fu? He took out his phone and dialed his father's string of numbers in the contacts; after it connected, Tian Erdai recounted the entire sequence of events at the fastest speed.
And he focused on narrating what Chen Yaozu had just said: that the Qi Luck on this female ghost must not scatter Overseas.
After his father finished listening, he merely dropped a sentence: "I'll go inquire for news!"
In under 10 minutes, his old man quickly replied: "You hurry and drive to the Gong Shi Da Ting to get your Passport; the Visa to fly to America will be handled by someone; your task is to go to America and accompany my Er Nai Fu well!"
"If you don't accompany my Er Nai Fu well, when you come back you'll kneel in the Ci Tang for three days and three nights!"
"When you get there, by the way, ask that Celestial Master Chen: if we bring her back to the country now, can you as the husband control her as the wife!"
……
After Chen Yaozu hung up the phone and walked back, that female ghost asked with a face full of impatience: "Where is my husband? When will he come to fetch me?"
Chen Yaozu did not answer, but ordered: "Press Tian into the Da Lao, wait for Tian Ritian to come fetch the ghost!"
As these words left him, Tian, who had originally been somewhat unwilling, finally stopped resisting, and expectation actually appeared in her eyes.
"Yes!"
The Brazil Woman and the Twelve Ghost Soldiers beneath her obeyed the order; with a stretch of the hand, several chains extended from the Jia Yi around Tian's neck, dragging the unwilling Tian to the Da Lao behind the Yamen, and directly threw her into the cell.
It can be said this Tian is the first ghost to be locked in a cell in the Ming Dynasty North American Xuanwei Envoy Office!
No wonder Tian is suspected to be a Qi Luck Ghost; every first time was caught up by her! And on Chen Yaozu's side, he finally had time before dawn to deal with the few old Mo trucks circling outside.
They gained no benefits at all, and just circled the construction site for a whole night.
Chen Yaozu thought: these old Mo seem to be the opening of another kind of Daochang he conceived, for example, the Plan of the Hua Wai Zhi Min...
