The old man leaned down to move the corpse. Mr. Lu hurriedly went over to help.

The old man placed the body on the coffin board and continued to tattoo. While getting a tattoo, he muttered: "Once you will succeed, you will be a fierce general, and you must have good thoughts in your heart." Only by accumulating more merits can we die well. ”

As he muttered, he tattooed a mighty general on the corpse. The general is holding a sword in one hand and a rosary in the other, which can be regarded as meaningful.

When the old man had done this, he put the body back in the coffin and closed the lid.

I asked curiously, "Master, can your tattoo affect his next life?" ”

The old man laughed twice: "I want to influence his next life." How much skill does that have to be? Old man, I ran out of gas and ran out of lights, and I couldn't help so many people. The kind of work I do is nothing more than to make my family feel at ease. Whether it works or not, it depends on the creation. ”

Subsequently. He looked at us strangely: "You're here to get tattoos?" Did the corpse bring? ”

Xue Qian hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you only tattoo corpses?" ”

The old man smiled, "Yes." Then he added: "Actually, there is no difference between the dead and the living. However, the living are afraid of places like me, and they are not willing to come. ”

Mr. Lu asked lightly: "Do you remember that there is a man named Yu Rang who once asked you for a tattoo?" ”

The old man tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "I remember." Do you mean the beggar? ”

I was stunned for a moment. I suddenly remembered that Yu Rang once said that before he met Old Man Cheng, he had worked as a beggar and a coolie.

The old man said: "Yu Rang is an orphan, and his life is quite miserable. He had no father, no mother, and no property, so he had to ask for food everywhere. We have a good person here, as long as he comes to ask for food, he will give a little bit, but his face will naturally not be very good. After all, he was dirty, and his hands and feet were not very clean. ”

Later it was said that he followed a boss. But it shouldn't be of much interest. After a few months, he came back suddenly, and then he came to me. Say let me get a tattoo for him. The tattoo is a little more powerful, and it is better to scare people. ”

I waved my hand and said, "Wait, old man." Didn't you specialize in tattooing dead people? What is he looking for you for? ”

The old man smiled and said, "What is he looking for me for?" Although this kid followed a boss, he was not rich in hand, probably reluctant to spend money on tattoos, and suddenly remembered that there was such a bad old man as me in his hometown, and his skills were okay, and he asked for less money, so he came to the door. ”

I nodded. "Did you say yes?" he asked. ”

The old man said: "At that time, I was a little strange, and asked him, why do you want to get a tattoo?" Yu rang talked for a while. I just understood. It turned out that this boss was not in legitimate business. Often send people to fight in the streets. Yu Rang was not ruthless enough, so nine times out of ten times he lost. ”

Xue Qianqi said: "Does he expect a tattoo to change his personality?" ”

The old man paused, suddenly became very mysterious, and said: "To be honest, when I was young, I also thought that the tattoos I learned were just a craft to support my family, just like the Bodhisattvas in the temple, just to make people's hearts feel at ease. But then I realized that there was a lot of mystery in this craft. It is not impossible to change people's personalities. ”

Then, he said slowly: "There are two sets of crafts taught to me by Master back then. One is to tattoo a living person and change the rest of his life. One is to tattoo a dead man and change his next life. It's just that these two crafts have no form, and they have lost their essence, although there are various complicated rituals, but they have no effect when they are done. So I haven't taken it seriously. It wasn't until I realized its true meaning that I turned it into a divine art. ”

The old man said that it was mysterious and mysterious, and there were many elements of boasting, I leaned my body against the coffin, and then asked, "So, you tattooed him a Zhong Kui?" ”

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, I had already mastered this magic technique at that time, so I was tired and exhausted, so I helped him tattoo a Zhong Kui." The day he got the tattoo, his complexion was different. There is no longer the cowardice before, but there is a ruthlessness in the eyes. ”

Mr. Lu walked around the courtyard, then looked at the old man and asked, "We are here mainly to ask you, where does the Zhong Kui pattern on his back come from?" "Vertical history is dead.

The old man was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Mr. Lu said: "Zhong Kui behind Yu Rang. You didn't draw it yourself, did you? Is it an imitation of the rest of the tattoos? ”

The old man's expression changed, and he exclaimed, "Who are you?" What are you looking for me for? ”

Mr. Lu patted Xue Qian and said, "Let him see." ”

Xue Qian nodded, turned around, and lifted her shirt.

The old man glanced at Zhong Kui on Xue Qian's waist. Stayed there right away. His lips trembled vigorously: "Zhong Kui, it's Zhong Kui again." I saw him again. ”

Xue Qian put down her clothes and asked, "Where else have you seen it?" ”

The old man nodded: "I've seen it." If it weren't for this Zhong Kui pattern, my tattoo skills would be worthless. It wasn't until I met the guy with Zhong Kui's tattoo that I realized that this craft was a miracle skill. Then, he glanced at Xue Qian deeply: "You should be his clansman." ”

Xue Qian said with some excitement: "You have seen my clansmen, where did you see them?" ”

The old man said, "Since you are a member of his clan, it is okay for me to sue you." ”

The old man thought for a moment and said, "That was many years ago. At that time, I was still very young, and I did not settle in the family village, but walked the streets and alleys, wandered outside, and slept in the ruined temple at night. It was raining heavily that day, and one family died, leaving one orphan and widow. They wanted me to get a tattoo, but they couldn't bring it back. That's why you want to invite me over. ”

"I was busy there all night, and it was finally finished. Then he walked to the ruined temple exhausted. At that time, the heavy rain had not stopped, and I was holding an umbrella and walking very carefully. Then, I saw a man lying on the road, wearing a Taoist robe, lying in the muddy water. I felt pity for him, and I carried him back. ”

"When I got back to the ruined temple, I helped him change his wet clothes. At this time, I saw a tattoo of Zhong Kui on his back. I'm in this business, so when I saw this tattoo, I couldn't help but stare at it for a while. I found that this tattoo is so tall that it is almost alive. I couldn't help but be amazed, and reached out to touch it. ”

At this time, the man woke up, and he said a little nervously, don't touch it, this tattoo is very dangerous."

Later, he talked to me, and I learned that this Zhong Kui tattoo was alive. This kind of strange thing immediately reminds me of the craft that Master taught me, because there are many strange things in our craft. So I went over the methods that Master had taught me. ”

After hearing this, this person told me that Master did not lie to me, and my tattoo technique can really change people's lives. It's just that maybe it's because of age, something is missing. This kind of thing is about the use of soul power. My master didn't teach me how to control the soul, so no matter how many rituals there were, it was just a specious performance, and it didn't work at all. ”

"It just so happens that this Taoist has some kung fu, and what he is best at is seducing souls. The two of us verified each other, learned a lot, and finally turned my tattoo skills into a miraculous skill. ”

When I heard this, I suddenly had a strange feeling in my heart, and I asked hesitantly: "Later, did you tattoo this Taoist?" ”

The old man sighed and said, "How do you know? ”

He nodded and said, "Yes, I did tattoo him." The Zhong Kui on his body is very evil, and he has to attack from time to time. So I followed what was written in the Buddhist scriptures. A lion was tattooed on his chest. As long as Zhong Kui has any changes. The lion will roar and stop it. ”

Xue Qian's face turned red, and she couldn't stop chattering: "It turns out that it was you who tattooed him, and it turns out that you are the master of the tattoo." Now I'm saved, I'm saved. ”

Some surprise also appeared on the old man's face: "So, you have already seen him?" Hey, back then, like him, I traveled around, wandering, and after separation, I thought I would never hear from each other again. ”
