I know not many people might be familiar with this, but... I need help to organize a ghost wedding.

[There are enough cultivators here that Xie Lian is pretty sure at least some of them will know what he is talking about.]

I have never had to do this, so I'm not quite sure exactly what rituals are involved. And it has to be a double wedding too, and I need to find one family with an son who died unwed and who would not mind this... I can ask around the village.

.... Do you think this might cost a lot of money to organize? Because that could be a problem ...

[He still has no money, and Yun Yifeng hasn't started his cult yet, so...]

Hello !

[Sorry, no one ever told Xie Lian about being too social, so he'll give a little bow.]

The funeral tablets are here. This is the original couple, and this is the twin sister and the candidate for her.

Time to make shit up.

[Who would have told him that anyway?]

Good. [He lays what he was holding on the ground then peals back the fabric to reveal...wedding clothes, but made out of paper. It's very detailed! Two sets of each.]

We can burn these for them first. So their spirits may receive them.

... You're really good at this, daozhang! They're so pretty!

Should we write their names on them, as well, before we burn them?

[wooden_one]

[Hmph!]

Who said I made them?

[2 things. 1: where else would these have come from? 2: no one directly accused you of anything why are you being so defensive?]

That would be the best thing to do. To make sure they don't go to the wrong person. [He lays each one down carefully.]

[scrapgege]

.... Who else could have?

[Did he just call you out to your face, Chuu Wanning? Yes, he did.]

I'll do that.

[Xie Lian's calligraphy is beautiful and elegant, flowing from his fingers.]

There!

[wooden_one]

...

[He has no answer for that.]

...stop making useless conversation!

[He's not embarrassed you're embarrassed!!

Once the names are written it's a simple matter to burn them....though he puts one set aside. Best to finish one marriage then the other. Then, with a small application of spiritual energy, he burns one set of wedding clothes.]

Someone will have to carry each tablet to help them do the bows.

[Which....uh. There are only the two of them so....]

[scrapgege]

Alright, let's do it!

[And Xie Lian, very naturally, just picks up the tablet closest to him, which happens to be the groom, because Chu Wanning is cursed to be the bride in every universe.

Once the bows are done for the first couple, and the tablets put together, on the altar, all they have to do is repeat for the second couple.

Xie Lian quickly lights some incense and puts a few offerings in front of both sets of tablets, and clasps his hands.]

Thank you very much, daozhang. I don't think I could have done it without you.
