The old man's family is not rich, and it can even be regarded as very poor. There was only a dim electric light in the house, and there was no light in the courtyard.

Xue Qian walked in front without saying a word, and walked near the gate until she stood still.

I looked at the hut in the corner, and the smell was overwhelming. couldn't help but say, "Old Xue, what do you have to say?" How do you find such a place? ”

He turned around and stared at me. The lights in the room in the distance were already dim, and I couldn't see Xue Qian's expression clearly for a while, but I could feel that he was a little nervous now.

I coughed and asked softly, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Xue Qian stammered a little when she spoke: "Old Zhao...... I, I'm afraid I can cure Sister Wang's illness. ”

I didn't react for a while, and casually asked, "What disease do you cure?" ”

After these words came out, I knew what Xue Qian meant. I asked tentatively, "You mean you're the mystery man back then?" ”

Xue Qian waved her hand: "What are you kidding?" Twenty years ago, I was wearing open crotch pants. ”

Then he slowly turned around and lifted his shirt. He pointed to his waist and asked, "Do you see that?" ”

I'm already a little stunned. He nodded quietly and said, "I see." ”

On Xue Qian's waist, there is a dark green tattoo. It was a demon, fierce and vicious, and in his hand, he was holding a human leg, which was tearing and biting.

Xue Qian turned around and sorted out her clothes. He said, "There is also a fierce ghost in me. ”

At this time, my thoughts have drifted to a few days ago. Before the beggar was gone, he said to me, "There is a fierce god in your companion, and I don't even have the courage to look at him." ”

I thought in a daze: "In this case, the shadow I saw under the brick tower that night was the tattoo on Xue Qian's body?" ”

Shared tenancy

Xue Qian saw that I was silent, and her tone was a little unhappy: "Lao Zhao, what do you mean?" You don't think I'm dirty and discriminating against me, right? ”

I came back to my senses and hurriedly waved my hand: "Old Xue, don't say that, am I that kind of person?" I'm living in an empty house myself, who else am I qualified to discriminate against? ”

Then I pulled him outside the gate and asked in a lower voice, "Is your tattoo really going to come off your body?" ”

Xue Qian glanced at me, and then said very frankly: "I haven't seen it once." But my mom told me that this tattoo has an extraordinary origin. ”

My curiosity was piqued, and I had a myriad of questions in my head, so I asked like a cannon, "How did your mother know?" How did your tattoo come about? What does that mysterious man from twenty years ago have to do with you? ”

Faced with my series of questions, Xue Qian shook her head and said, "I don't know the answers to any of your questions. But I can tell you that this tattoo is really not ordinary. ”

I asked, "Is there anything unusual about him?" ”

Xue Qian hesitated for a while, finally made up her mind, and said to me, "I'm afraid of ghosts, you know? ”

I nodded: "I know, I have been haunted by the Yin Ghost Woman for so many years, and I have a psychological shadow." ”

Xue Qian nodded: "But since you lived in the empty house, every time you hunt ghosts, I follow you, do you think it's strange?" ”

I blurted out, "Isn't that because we're good brothers?" "After I said that, I wanted to slap myself twice. Having said that, I'm so naïve to think it's buddy righteousness, it's really a little hopeless.

Xue Qian smiled and said, "Part of the reason is naturally because the two of us have a good relationship. Actually, there is another reason. This thing on my waist is not a dead thing. He needs yin qi to make offerings, so every once in a while, I have to touch dirty things to keep him alive. ”

I saw that although Xue Qian was smiling, she definitely didn't look joking, so I couldn't help but sigh a little, and then asked, "I'm afraid it's uncomfortable to have such a thing on your body, right?" "Phantom Sword Poison Demon

Xue Qian nodded and said, "When I was a child, I once tried to scrape off this piece of skin with scissors. But the flesh was scraped and blurred, and he was still on his waist. It was as if he wasn't tattooed on his skin, but in his flesh. ”

I gave him an idea: "If you don't care about him, bask in the sun every day." Cut off his yin qi and starve him to death, isn't that what it will be? ”

Xue Qian sighed and said, "The two of us are in a symbiotic relationship. He's dead, and I'm not going to live. I've been fighting with him since I was sensible, but I've been helpless until now. Luckily, he's been asleep, and I'm thinking of it as if he had a tattoo, and there's nothing wrong with that. ”

I sighed for a while, and then patted him on the shoulder: "Old Xue, you should be the owner of this empty house." That place is literally for you. There is plenty of yin qi, similar to a mass grave. ”

Xue Qian smiled bitterly: "Lao Zhao, do you think I moved out of your house because I was afraid?" Your room is too yin, I have been sleeping in it for a long time, and this fierce god behind me will wake up sooner or later, and when the time comes, this body will no longer belong to me. ”

Xue Qian's words stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and I suddenly understood everything. So he said to himself: "In this case, you follow me to catch ghosts, and after you come back, you will open a health care store, and even take that kind of medicine." It's all about finding a balance. The balance between yin and yang, both to keep this ghost alive and not to wake him up? ”

Xue Qian nodded: "That's right, that's it." ”

I looked at him with some pity, and said in his original tone: "Dude, your life is destined to be extraordinary." ”

Xue Qian smiled: "Let's two half a catty against eight taels, no one should laugh at anyone." ”

I saw that his feelings were much better, and he didn't have the nervousness and melancholy he had before, so I pointed to the inside of the room: "Are you sure to cure Sister Wang?" ”

Xue Qian scratched her head: "I can't guarantee it, I can only say give it a try." ”

I was a little worried and said, "Don't play with fire**, if this thing on your waist wakes up, things will be in trouble." ”

Eternal Golden Body

Xue Qian smiled: "Don't worry, if this thing wants to wake up, I don't know how much yin qi it needs." I can feel it. Alright, let's go back. ”

I said yes and followed him into the room.

Xue Qian took two steps, suddenly stopped, and whispered in my ear: "By the way, my tattoo has a name, called Zhong Kui." With that, he strode into the house.

And I've been chewing on those two words on the road. Zhong Kui, Zhong Kui. Yes, it can only be him, it can only be this fierce god, it is said that he is extremely ugly, specializing in catching ghosts and eating ghosts. In this case, the broken leg on the tattoo is not a human leg, but a ghost leg. From this point of view, using Zhong Kui to defeat the ghost fetus is quite symptomatic.

The tattoo on Xue Qian's waist must not be Zhong Kui's real body, after all, the immortal traces are ethereal, whether they really exist zài, or whether they are legends formed by false rumors, no one can say clearly. This tattoo, most likely, is a totem cult. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this kid had a mysterious background. When Aunt Xue and Mr. Lu come back, you have to ask.

When I walked into the house, I saw that Sister Wang and Xiao Liu were already sitting on chairs. Both of them were in the same position, with their heads bowed and silently weeping.

The man didn't know where to find two dirty bowls, and one of them poured a cup of hot water. But Xiao Liu and Sister Wang didn't move. I don't know if it's because I'm depressed and can't drink, or because the bowl is too dirty.

Xue Qian said to the man, "Can we borrow a room from your house?" ”

The man asked strangely, "What are you borrowing the house for?" How long to borrow? ”

Xue Qian said: "Borrow one night to heal." ”

The man pointed to the old man lying on the bed: "Didn't you hear my sister?" Only the mysterious man back then could heal the sick. Otherwise, you won't be able to do this job even if you are capable. ”

Xue Qian pointed at me and said, "Our Master Zhao, cutting grass for horses, sprinkling beans into soldiers, and having high mana is boundless." Do you still need to find any mysterious people? Hurry up and make room for us, and don't you don't pay for it? ”

As soon as the man heard that he was giving money, his eyes immediately lit up, and he agreed repeatedly.
