Chapter 19: Born to Die
Ye Bei grabbed his mobile phone and rushed to the rental house.
It was Chen Xiaowu who called.
"Brother Ye, there's news."
"What's the news?"
"There's a new clue about the tattoo on your body."
"Can you make a long story short?"
"In the past two days, I used your money to go to the sea to pan for gold, and found a lot of treasures, including the treasures with the tattoos on your body."
"What is it?"
"A piece of skin, I can't explain it on the phone, let's meet and talk, let's see the color!"
Ye Bei hung up the phone, returned to the rental house, threw the empty can of Forget Worry Tea into the cupboard to disinfect, and prepared to get a new one from the refrigerator.
When he opened the refrigerator door, he was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the last two cans were still in stock.
This thing is a good thing to entertain spirits, and it is also a great health supplement for rich guests to refresh their minds. At the beginning, Yebei's milk tea shop was able to open, all thanks to the first pot of gold earned by selling forget-worry tea.
Now that the jade pendant is broken, this tea can't be made, and the fierce Meng Po soup has become an amnesia fist in his hand, how can this be good?
Could it be that he still has to go to the judo class at the train station to get a yellow belt? Otherwise, how will I have to do psychological counseling with passers-by in the future?
The method of forgetting worries tea is simple, and Ye Bei also stumbled upon the magic of this jade pendant.
When he was a child, Ye Bei's family opened a betel nut stall in the sugar water shop, and every morning he had to go to uncover the mud and seal the betel nut, and he had to change the brine and add sake lees to the green fruit before dawn, and after dawn, he had to go to the front desk of the sugar water shop to help sell the goods.
Ye Bei never left this piece of jade, in the early morning of winter, the jade will condense a thin layer of dew, and occasionally this dew falls on Ye Bei's mouth, and the cold and sleepiness in winter will be swept away.
Later, Ye Bei's parents liked to eat betel nuts, and their mouth ulcers worsened, and they got cancer, and before Ye Bei was eighteen years old, he was accompanied by Huangquan Road.
Ye Bei also gave up the betel nut business and began to take the condensation dew on the jade pendant to make forgetful tea.
Now that the jade pendant is gone, his hands have the effect of the jade pendant.
"Isn't it ......"
Ye Bei squinted his eyes and had a bold idea.
He stood next to the sink and took the basin of water, soaked his hands in the basin, and under the action of the yin and yang eyes, he could see that on the spirit body, pieces of jade scales grew on the skin of his hands.
"It seems to work."
Under the rows of jade skin, wisps of pure white wisps emerged, like hairs that came to life, fluttering regularly under the water, as if breathing.
In just five minutes, the white scales on his arms were like pets that had walked enough, and they retracted into the spirit body contentedly.
"Uh...... Although it is not very kind to say, this hand washing water ...... Does it really work? ”
Ye Beihu stared at the basin suspiciously, in the past, the tea was made of jade dew and various tea products to add fragrance and flavor, and the basin of water in front of him seemed to smell no different from ordinary tap water.
Xiao Wu's call came again.
"Hey! Have you arrived? ”
Ye Bei: "I'll be there soon!" By the way, Xiao Wu, aren't you thinking about my family's tea? ”
"Brother Ye, do you remember this incident? I've been thinking about it for a long time, your tea treasure is very good, and you won't share a little bit of me, and you won't say anything about where it comes from, I can't buy it with money......" Xiao Wu muttered.
"I'll bring you a can of ......" Ye Bei looked at the hand washing water, took a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator, and poured it into the basin: "Bring a can of limited edition caramel forget-you-no-worry tea!" ”
"Really! Thank you, Brother Ye! ”
Hanging up the phone, Ye Bei looked at his work as if he was a thief.
"Let's hope it's okay."
Half an hour later.
Ye Bei stood outside the gate of the paper shop, this time he learned to be obedient, and before Chen Xiaowu came out, he would never set foot in this place full of gods and Buddhas.
He knocked on the door, and after a few minutes, Chen Xiaowu came out to greet him with a brocade box in his hand and a pair of reading glasses on his nose.
"Brother Ye, come in and say, there is equipment in the house, you have to use the equipment to see this baby."
Ye Bei asked, "Are you all the immortals hidden?" ”
"It's all settled! Don't worry, you won't hurt your allies this time. Xiao Wu replied with a smile.
As soon as Ye Bei stepped into the paper shop, the statues of the gods on the shelves on both sides had been covered with black cloth, but when he entered the door, the whole room made a strange noise.
Looking at the statues in unison, they all "turned their heads", facing straight towards Ye Bei, and the statues of the eighteen Arhats in the highest row could hear the crisp sound of their necks twisting.
"Brother Ye, your body is evil enough." Xiao Wu muttered: "I don't know how many Bodhisattva's golden bodies I have to cultivate this time." ”
Ye Bei didn't dare to act rashly, just sat on the hospitality sofa in the store, and took out the tea in the baggage.
"Get your device over here, look here. I'm afraid that when I pass, all the gods will have cervical spondylosis. ”
After that, Xiao Wu listened reasonably, and took out a Gao Bai scanner from the warehouse and put it on the coffee table.
He slowly opened the brocade box, moving extremely carefully, and when the brocade box was fully opened, yellow silk was exposed, and a piece of leather products was rolled inside.
Ye Bei opened the teapot for Xiao Wu and handed over the caramel drink he had made.
"What the hell?"
The pattern on the leather is exactly the same as the pattern on Ye Bei's body.
Xiao Wu took the tea, took a sip lightly, his eyes widened, as if his whole body was called the effect of forgetting worries and sugar, and his mind was instantly cleared up a lot.
"This thing is a ghost skin."
"Ghost skin?"
Xiao Wuyi gave his thumb to his thumb and praised Brother Ye's craftsmanship.
"That's right, you put it on Gao Baiyi and sweep it."
Ye Bei took off the yellow silk cloth bag and unfolded the piece of leather, and in the display screen of the instrument, the details and texture of the leather were clearly visible.
Ye Bei: "There are words. ”
"Yes, it's a story, written in Sanskrit." Xiao Wu explained: "It's about the story in "Zhaodian". There are tigers that eat people, and those who are eaten become the ghosts of the tigers, giving dreams to their relatives, luring them to the mountains, and feeding the tiger. ”
Acting for the Tiger?
So, has Ye Bei become a poor ghost?
"Hey...... This tea is superb! Xiao Wu was full of energy, moved the leather and instruments back, and displayed the yellow silk.
"Brother Ye, look."
Ye Bei looked at the dense scriptures on the yellow silk, he had seen a lot, and he recognized it as the "Amitabha Sutra" at first sight.
"This passage speaks of the book of His Holiness Maitreya III." The fifth brother described the allusion in the scriptures: "The Venerable Maitreya is the Fuhu Arhat, and this yellow silk should be the corpse cloth used by the monks to suppress the body of the ghosts when they traveled to subdue the demons." ”
"Brother Ye, you should have been yin by monsters, and let people put a curse on them, and you have become a person who is not a ghost or a ghost."
"Good work." After listening to this, Ye Bei's mood did not improve in the slightest.
For the past week, he has been here every day as if it were the last day of his life. After losing sleep, the nerves are not relaxed at all.
"Sima Yao, Sima Yao......"
Ye Bei recalled the woman in black in the old mansion in Hexi.
After figuring out the origin of the jade pendant and the tattoo, Ye Bei put these things aside for the time being, and his heart was a lot clearer.
Ye Bei asked, "Are you still satisfied with this tea?" ”
The fifth brother raised his glass and drank it all, and said with a smile: "Happy!" ”
It seems that he can still brew something out of his hands, Ye Bei is also relieved, and when he meets passers-by in the future, he will not have to serve him with an old fist if he disagrees.
"Notify me again if there is news, help me find Sima Yao." Ye Bei put the tea cans in his bag on the table, and the last two bottles were also left for Xiao Wu.
"Thank you! Brother Ye. Xiao Wu drank the hand washing water, and when he opened the second can, he thought it was light, "Brother Ye, next time it will be caramel-flavored!" ”
"Huh...... You kid picked it up. Ye Bei couldn't help but think in his heart-
- Fortunately, Professor Yin's ploppy son and daughter-in-law smashed their hands instead of feet, if you tell Xiao Wu that this is foot washing water, how disgusting it is.
"Okay! How much you want! ”
Saying goodbye to Chen Xiaowu, Ye Bei went home again,
He opened his computer mailbox and received a new email request.
Wrong.
There are more commissions.
He frowned, carefully flipping through the detailed descriptions of each email.
Moreover, it doesn't look like a fake.
In the past, most of the commissions were made by customers scaring themselves, but since Ye Bei became a ghost, the backlog of emails is increasing day by day.
"It's not peaceful."
Ye Bei muttered, and before he could pick out a new job from the mailbox, the phone began to vibrate again.
It's a text message.
When Ye Bei looked at it, a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The sender is Professor Yin.
"I'm not going to look for you, but you're coming to the door yourself."
