Chapter 6 Tattoo Yin and Yang Embroidery
Ding Yi carried a large pork leg of about 20 catties and went down the not-so-bright entrance.
Below is a stone staircase with edges and corners, which are not very regular.
The steps are covered with moss, which adds a sense of age to the steps.
The further down he went, a musty smell came to his nose, and Ding Yi covered his nose with his hand.
It was dark, so that Ding Yi did not continue to go down.
After a while, there was a sudden burst of light.
Liu turned on the light with one hand.
Ding Yi didn't expect that there was still electricity underneath, and there was no complete power outage in this area, after all, there were still a few elderly people who had not moved.
"Come down, why are you stunned?" Liu Yi turned his head and shouted at Ding Yi.
Ding Yi walked down step by step, and at the end of the steps was a boxy secret room.
The secret rooms are also made of bluestone strips, and white lime can be seen between the strips of stone.
Ding glanced at it, it was a secret room of about ten square meters, about the size of a courtyard on the ground.
Turn right at the end of the steps, and you will see an offering table, on which a black and white portrait hangs, the photo is a little blurry, and it looks like an old Taoist priest.
In the middle of the chamber was a coffin, supported by two stone benches.
Ding Yi swallowed hard and said, "Master, is this a grave?" ”
"Get on your knees." Liu Yishou said in a loud voice: "Knock on your master." ”
Ding Yi hurriedly put down the pig's feet, quickly walked to the offering table, took two incense sticks, took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it, and then bowed four times to the statue, and said, "Disciple Ding Yi knocks on the master." ”
After getting up, Ding Yi turned to look at the coffin, and asked Liu Yishou in surprise: "Master, is Shigong's body in this coffin?" Why don't you let him be buried in the ground? ”
"Don't ask so much, take off your shirt." Liu Yishou had already walked to the edge of the coffin, and with a slight push, the coffin lid rumbled open.
Ding Yi didn't ask again, and then according to the master's words, he took off the shirt of his shirt, revealing his not very strong body.
"Sit down with your knees crossed." Liu took out a wooden box from the coffin.
Ding Yi had a hunch that looking at this posture, he should be giving him a tattoo.
"Ding Yi, you have been learning art from me since you were twelve years old, but you have never formally apprenticed, and you are not my official disciple, I originally planned to wait until you were eighteen years old before officially accepting you into the school, but I didn't expect this to happen, so this ceremony had to be brought forward." Liu Yiyi opened the box, took out a dagger from it, and handed it to Ding Yi.
Ding Yi was stunned for a moment, and asked with a blank face: "Master, what are you giving me a knife?" ”
"Cut those legs from the pork leg into small pieces."
"Oh." Ding Yi took the knife and began to cut, and then said casually: "Master, are these pig's feet braised or boiled at night?" ”
Liu Yishou did not speak, but took out all kinds of tools needed for tattoos from the box.
"Ding Yi, I will give you a tattoo in a while, this is a yin and yang embroidery, it is the entry tattoo of our sect, it doesn't hurt, but your illness may attack, so your husband swallows muscle pork, remember, don't chew, swallow it directly." Liu Yiyi explained.
"What? Eat! Ding Yi almost jumped up and said, "Master, don't joke with me, okay?" ”
I was thinking about braised or boiled, but I didn't expect it to be swallowed raw......
"Do you think I'm kidding you?" Liu said with a straight face.
"But master, why is that?" Ding Yi looked at the raw pork in front of him, and there was a fishy smell that was difficult to swallow.
"Don't ask why? You're out of taste now, and you won't be uncomfortable to swallow. Liu Yiyi looked at Ding Yi and said: "This is to treat your disease, you won't be in pain for a while, remember to swallow a few more pieces, quickly." ”
Although Ding Yi couldn't understand it, he thought that the master should not harm him, and it was to treat the sense of taste, so he gritted his teeth and picked up a piece of raw pork.
After pinching his nose, he stuffed the raw pork into his mouth, then closed his mouth, not daring to chew it.
But he found that there really didn't have any taste, so he swallowed it with a grunt.
The meat has lard on it, which is slippery and not difficult to swallow.
"How does it feel?" Liu asked rhetorically.
"It's fine." Ding Yi said with a long exhale.
"Swallow more until your stomach is full." Liu Yishou confessed again.
Ding Yi almost cried, although it was tasteless, but thinking about how many catties of raw pork he swallowed at once, it was terrible, and he felt a little sick to his stomach in his stomach.
But he continued to cut the pork with a knife, piece by piece from the leg of the pig, and then swallowed it raw, until at last his stomach was swollen.
"It's all right, master." Ding Yi burped and touched his belly with his hand, feeling heavy, feeling that he was pregnant in October.
"I'll have to tell you before I start getting a tattoo." Liu said solemnly: "Your stomach may hurt for a while, but it is also possible that it starts to hurt after the tattoo is completed, so you have to endure it." ”
Ding nodded, thinking to himself that it would be strange for me to swallow so much raw pork and not have a stomachache.
"Then I'll start, you hold back yourself, if you don't get this tattoo today, your life will be in danger." Liu picked up a row of needles with one hand.
"Ahh Ding Yi's eyes widened, how could it get more and more serious.
But he didn't continue to ask, and gritted his teeth, mentally prepared.
Liu held the needle in one hand and gently pierced it into Ding Yi's heart.
A tingling pain came.
But this is nothing to Ding Yi, as a tattoo artist, these are already known in his heart.
After a short while, Ding Yi didn't feel anything unusual in his stomach, and his heart was a little relieved.
Then after a while, I felt a little bit of movement in my stomach.
It feels like something is tumbling in the stomach, it's just not fast.
"Master, my stomach is starting to move." Ding Yi whispered.
"It's okay, it's just that there's movement, it doesn't hurt, right?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"If you find yourself hungry, swallow the raw pork." Liu Yishou explained.
"Isn't it? I've just swallowed my fill, how can I be so hungry? Ding Yi was dumbfounded.
"If you're hungry, swallow it, if you don't hear it, or those bugs will bite your stomach."
Ding Yi was startled and asked, "What kind of bug?" ”
"Black Widow." Liu Yishou didn't hide it, and said: "Don't talk, just do what I say, those raw pork are swallowed whole and let the black widow eat, if they don't have meat to eat, they will bite your stomach, so as soon as you feel hungry, you will swallow the meat immediately." ”
"I see." Ding Yi broke out in a cold sweat all over his body.
He knew it wasn't a joke, but he was depressed, when did these bugs get into his stomach?
Liu sped up the tattoo with one hand, and saw that he took a needle to dip the liquid in a jar from time to time, but it smelled a little stinky, if nothing else, it should be corpse oil.
Because the master just said that the tattoo is yin and yang embroidery.
And there is a portrait of the master on the wall, but I am afraid that this corpse oil is the master's......
