I thought that if I traced the tattoo from an ancient painting, I could find out what clues, speculate on the law of the old blind man's group of people killing people, and grasp the initiative, but the picture of the Chaoyuan Immortal has been stolen, and the owner who collected it has also died, so there is really no way to check.

Master and several people went to inspect Master Su's corpse and found that he died under a strange Gu poison, not an unjust soul asking for his life. When Master Su went to the broken temple, he was already poisoned by Gu poison in his body, and when people were in emotional agitation and strenuous exercise, the Gu poison attacked. Master said that this kind of Gu is not something that a master can't raise, it's probably a ghost grass woman.

Gu is commonly known as 'grass ghost' in Xiangxi, and according to legend, it is only attached to women and harms others. Those so-called women with Gu are called 'grass ghost women'. The real grass ghost woman has eyes like cinnabar, and there are red, green, green and yellow stripes on the belly, abdomen, arms and backs. I remembered that there was an old woman beside the blind man, most of which was from her masterpiece.

The clue was broken all of a sudden, and we had nothing to do but open and live as usual. Fortunately, there has been nothing unusual recently, and I have nothing to do in my spare time, and I have followed the teachings of the master and studied the two books of the Lei Fa Fu Seal.

Yang's father and daughter, Hu Kun stayed temporarily, and with them, the store and family added a lot of vitality. Yang, Kun and the others went out when they had nothing to do, firstly to travel the scenery of Beihai, and secondly, they also hoped to find some clues, although it was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

I was sitting in the store, and a guest came on this day, and he also came to find the master's assassination.

Master politely explained to the man that he was already semi-retired and that my apprentice was now in charge of the business. If you have anything, look for him. The guest looked at me with hesitation in his eyes, but he didn't say anything because of Master's face.

I chatted with the guest for a while, and the guest claimed to be surnamed Li, and opened a new antique shop in the West Street Antique Market. Boss Li himself believes in Buddhism, burns incense and worships Buddha on weekdays, praying for the blessing of the gods and gaining inner peace. Somehow, he often felt upset for no apparent reason, had nightmares at night, and several times woke up to see strange shadows sneaking around the house, and over time, he suffered from neurasthenia, and suffered unspeakably miserably. I heard that the master said that there was a thorn charm here, and it was very effective, so I came to try it.

I knew that Master intended to let me go through the experience, and this was my first time as a teacher, and I was afraid that if I didn't handle it well, I would smash Master's signboard, so I didn't dare to slack off, so I proposed to go to Boss Li's house first to see what to do and then consider what to stab, and it happened that Yang Dong had nothing to do, so he went with me.

I don't know if I don't see it on the spot, it turns out that Boss Li's home and his antique shop are connected together, located in the bustling area of West Street. The three-storey wooden structure houses the shops in front and the private residences in the back.

Originally, I thought that there was a problem with the feng shui of Boss Li's house, so that the house was restless, so I asked Yang Dong to help take a look. Yang Dong took the compass, walked around the house, looked at it for a long time, and told me that there was no problem with the feng shui of this house.

Boss Li saw that the two of us were watching in the house for a long time, and he couldn't help but be a little impatient: "Little Master, what is going on, if it really doesn't work, I think it's better to let Master He go out?" I'd rather pay an extra 30 percent. ”

I said no hurry, take your time and look again. If it doesn't work, you won't take a penny. I walked around his house and speculated that the problem might not be in feng shui, but in antiques.

Because his house is full of all kinds of antiques, from the stone unicorn outside the door, all the way to the store, until the living room and bedroom, all kinds of antiques, what Buddha woodcuts, screen porcelain, ancient books and paperweights.

Most of the antiques are old and easy to be contaminated with yin. And many of them are taken from the ground, and the yin qi is even heavier. If people live in such an environment for a long time, the normal magnetic field will be disrupted, which will invite disaster.

Seeing this, I almost had an idea, so I decided to tattoo a talisman for Boss Li to ward off evil spirits.

The so-called drawing talisman does not know the trick, but it makes the ghosts and gods laugh. If you know how to draw a talisman, you will be shocked by the ghosts and gods. A completed thorn talisman must have five elements, namely 'talisman head', 'main god and Buddha', 'talisman belly', 'talisman feet', and 'talisman gall'.

There are common three hooks on the head of the talisman is to represent the three clear, or to the edict, the thunder order as the talisman head, the talisman is to ask the gods to enter this talisman to sit in town, to shock the evil things, generally there will be the word "horse" on the talisman gall, the word "gang", there are also the word "well" and so on, there are a variety of ways to write. The deity invited by the presiding god and Buddha for this charm is generally one of the three Taoist gods. The talisman foot is used to end the talisman gall.

The thorn is also equipped with a corresponding spell on the way. I pierced this talisman for more than an hour, and finally there was no mistake.

Boss Li looked at the newly thorned evil talisman and asked suspiciously, "Little Master, does this work?" "I told him, you have a talisman tattooed on your body, which can avoid the yin qi on the antique, and there is no problem. However, it is safe to see that it is better to separate the shop from the private home, or move to another place. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will be invaded by the evil spirit on the antique, and you will not be able to catch any accidents.

After three or four days, Yang Dong and I went to Boss Li's house again and found that Boss Li's spirit was much better than before. He happily told me that he had been in good spirits these days and had not slept so well for a long time, and thanked me again and again.

I breathed a sigh of relief this time, thinking that I was lucky not to smash Master's signboard.

Boss Li said that a few days ago, I didn't know Taishan with my eyes, and I offended the little master in my words. As an apology, I am willing to pay an additional 30%. Where am I willing to ask for it, insist on not being able to, Boss Li thought about it and said, anyway, in the next few days, I also plan to separate the shop from the private house, and I want to sort out a lot of antiques. I won't tell you anything, there are real and fake in these antiques of mine, less real and more fake, so let's do it, little master, you can pick one at random, don't need money, just take it as an extra reward.

I saw that Boss Li was full of energy, and he was greedy for fun, so he agreed. I don't have any research on antiques, it's all a matter of luck whether it's real or fake.

In the end, I chose a pair of cursive calligraphy works from Boss Li's inventory. For no other reason, I think this calligraphy is a bit like a book of Fu Seal.

After thanking Boss Li, we went home, and Master was quite happy to learn that I had gone smoothly, and praised me a few rare words. I borrowed flowers to worship the Buddha and gave the cursive script to the master. Anyway, I'll keep it and put it on the shelf.

Unexpectedly, the master was quite appreciative after reading it, and I thought it was good luck to choose a pair of valuable antiques for me, but the master said that although this cursive script is not a famous work, the handwriting is 'meritorious', and the skill is not shallow, and it should be a cultivator. But the penmanship is a bit of a sword and not the right way.

I laughed dumbly when I heard it, can I see this?

Master said, "You are just ignorant." The real character with merit should actually be a seal. The person who draws the talisman seems to be scribbling, but in fact, the talisman has to enter another mental state, and he pays attention to concentrating and keeping one. This spirit is called qi, but it does not refer to the qi of breathing.

For example, to draw a god general such as Liuding Liujia, it is necessary to rely on the person who draws the talisman to think, and if he can think about it, the talisman will have an effect. The so-called contemplation is meditation, imagining the golden armor god and man out of thin air, you can call this an illusion to work, but it is not impossible. In the Taoist saying of the Han Dynasty, this is called the induction of heaven and man, and it is also called the handover of man and god.

I know that Master is using calligraphy to tell me the way of thorn talismans, and I remember them one by one. It suddenly occurred to me that Master was quite familiar with these things in Taoist culture, so how could he not recognize the origin of the pattern in the death tattoo? If he knew, why didn't he say it?

At this time, the master looked at the cursive seal and muttered, "Wang Zaijin? ”

The name is a bit familiar.

I suddenly remembered that the wealthy merchant who collected the pictures of the Yuan Dynasty was named Wang Zaijin, but he had died of illness before the ancient painting was stolen, so there was no way to trace it. The author of this cursive script is also called Wang Zaijin, could it be the same person?

With the mentality that I would rather kill mistakes than let go, I called Boss Li to ask about the origin of cursive writing. Boss Li said that the author of this cursive script is indeed the wealthy businessman Wang Zaijin, and he himself is also a well-known calligrapher and painter, but this cursive work was sold by his son after his death.

I hung up the phone and couldn't calm down for a long time, and sure enough, it was the same person. In this way, the owner who collected the Chaoyuan Immortal Battle Diagram is also a cultivator. How could Wang Zaijin suddenly die, and the ancient paintings were stolen after his death, I vaguely feel that there is a lot of work in this......
