To the right of the table of the Eight Immortals, there is a fortune box! On the left is a copper basin. Half a basin of water is contained in the copper basin.

At this time, the eighth master walked out.

"Good boy, wake up early!" The eighth master came over and touched my head.

Then he pulled out a knife from under the table of the Eight Immortals. I scratched it on my own hand! Blood flowed down his palms and into the copper basin.

Immediately after, the eighth master put the knife in the basin of water and handed it to me!

I was stunned for a moment and knew what the eighth master meant. I made a mark on my hand in the same way. Blood flowed into the copper basin and stirred. The original clear water instantly turned pale red.

"This is called Yin Yang Money!"

The eighth master squatted down, took out the prepared red cloth, and taught me while bandaging it.

The coffin master is also called the coffin bearer, walking on the rivers and lakes. Then it is inevitable that there will be kindness and hatred. When the disciples are received, those who seek favor will come, and those who seek revenge will come. However, whether it is a person seeking grace or revenge, he will carry a fortune money with him. Those who seek grace directly put the Fushou money into the Fushou box. As for those who seek revenge, they put the fortune money into the blood basin.

This is also called: The blood sea is deep!

The eighth master's hands are very rough, and it can be seen that he has been working for a long time, but there is an inexplicable warmth. It made me feel quiet in my heart.

"Eighth Master, the guest has arrived!" At this time, Adin walked over and said in his ear.

The eighth master nodded, pulled me, smiled and said, "Today is your first day to see the world, you will be afraid, but you can't tremble." You can coax, but you can't lose face! Got it? ”

"Yes, Eighth Master!" I replied.

At this time, a middle-aged man came in outside. happily bowed his hand to the eighth master, and then took out a Fushou coin from his clothes and put it into the Fushou box.

"Eighth master, in the future, there will be a place for my old king, just ask! Also, little coffin, Lao Wang has also given you a gift! The man said with a smile.

The eighth master nodded: "Meet the guest, the master of the Wang family in the lower reaches of the Dragon River, the paper-binding skills are unparalleled in the world!" ”

This is called meeting customers, and the master will introduce his friends to me one by one. At this time, if you meet a guest, if something comes to the door in the future, the other party will not refuse!

I bowed: "Hello Master Wang!" Ye Fei boy gave you a salute. ”

"Well, I'm in! You're busy! The old man of the Wang family laughed loudly and strode towards the courtyard.

"When you meet guests, you will always be optimistic and empty, and your talisman making skills are unparalleled in the world!"

"Chongxu Dao is good, Ye Fei boy will give you a gift."

……

As the guests gradually arrived, most of them were looking for grace. I was a little nervous at first, but as there were more and more people, I was less scared.

In the blink of an eye, my master and I had been standing there all morning.

The sun gradually rises in the middle.

The eighth master glanced out: "The guests are almost here, right?" ”

"Sorry, I'm late......"

Before the eighth master could finish speaking, a voice came from outside. An old man walked in with a child about the same age as me, and when he saw the eighth master, he smiled and said, "Eighth master, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

The eighth master's brows furrowed slightly: "What are you doing here?" ”

The man took out a fortune coin from his clothes, lit it up in his hand, and said, "We are not gracious, nor are we enmity." But today, old man, I want to find you a favor! ”

"What's the knot?" The eighth master paused and asked.

"This child's name is Qin Yi. Originally, he was my apprentice, but the old man was highly poisonous, and his days were short. I want to entrust the eighth master to take care of it on my behalf! The man weighed the copper coin in his hand and said with a smile.

The eighth master sighed: "You are asking me to collect two apprentices a day!" What if I don't? ”

"My days are not long. If you can't let go, you're just such an apprentice. If you agree, then let's make a favor, if you don't agree, then let's make a feud! As he spoke, the man tossed the coin lightly, as if it were about to be thrown into the basin of blood.

I glanced at Qin Yi with some surprise, Qin Yi's eyes were clear, and I didn't see any mood swings from beginning to end.

As if these things had nothing to do with him.

"He's been following you for a while, hasn't he?" The eighth master asked.

The man nodded. It's the default!

"Then this has to be regarded as Dai Yi's apprenticeship, and I can promise it. But you have to follow the rules and sign the life and death papers, are you willing? The eighth master looked at Qin Yi and asked.

Qin Yi paused slightly, did not speak, but knelt directly on the ground, and respectfully kowtowed to the eighth master three times!

"Meet the master!" Qin Yi said coldly.

"Get up and come with me!" The eighth master's face also relaxed.

After the man threw the Fushou money into the Fushou box.

The eighth master shouted: "See the guest, Li Tianjie of the door of life!" ”

I'm a little surprised, the eighth master is usually followed by a world unparalleled. But this man didn't say anything. However, even so, I still want to pay respects.

Qin Yi and I bowed down almost at the same time.

"Hello Senior Li, Ye Fei Kid will give you a gift!"

"Hello Senior Li, Qin Yi boy will give you a gift!"

……

And the so-called life and death document is actually nothing more than a contract. This kind of Dai Yi apprentice is usually signed. In this way, when you are learning art, the master can beat and scold at will. If you have something you can't think about, or if you don't learn art well when you're learning art, you'll die! Then this has nothing to do with the master! The master will be responsible for burying you, and the rest will not be taken care of!

The whole apprenticeship went very smoothly.

Except for Qin Yi's sudden arrival, it seemed a little abrupt. But people didn't care so much. It is not uncommon to receive two apprentices a day.

I saluted the tea and put on the three fragrances! We have become the master's apprentices completely!

"The master is above, please accept the apprentice!"

Qin Yi and I knelt in front of the eighth master, kowtowed three times again, and said in a loud voice.

After the apprenticeship, all the people dispersed.

The master arranged Qin Yi and I in the two wings on the left and right. I'm on the left, and I'm the elder brother. And Qin Yi is on the right, his junior brother.

Qin Yi doesn't like to talk much, whether it's studying art or eating, he doesn't speak much. It's as if you were born mute.

During this time, the master began to arrange funerals for Widow Chen.

However, it is even weirder than the godfather's. Widow Chen's burial method is hanging coffin burial, which is rarely seen up and down the Dragon River.

The master asked people to dig a hole in the cliff by the Dragon River. A very deep, and very small hole. The coffin was nailed into it like a nail. The outside was coated with a layer of cement, and then on the cement, Widow Chen's name and birthday were all engraved.

From a distance, you can't even tell that there is a tomb there.

But over the past few days, I have become more and more strange to Qin Yi, and when he is okay on weekdays, he often goes to sit in front of his godfather's grave for a while.

He did not speak, but sat quietly facing the tomb. If you don't study art, sometimes you can sit all afternoon.

One day I was really a little strange, so I walked over.

His eyes were fixed on the grave, and he didn't blink.

"What are you doing here?" I asked curiously, "Did you know my godfather before?" ”

He looked up and looked at me. He shook his head, indicating that he didn't know him. Turning around, he continued to look at his godfather's grave.

I was even more curious.

I sat down next to him, and I couldn't understand what he was doing. Just follow his gaze. I couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart, and sighed and said: "The godfather is good, but he left too badly." Widow Chen is also pitiful, she can't think about it like that, and she committed suicide in front of his grave with her godfather's child! ”

Qin Yi turned his head and glanced at me.

"If Widow Chen really committed suicide, the master would not choose that kind of funeral!"

I chuckled in my heart, "What do you mean?" ”

"Widow Chen's identity is not simple, the reason why the master chose that kind of burial style is to beware of ghosts turning back." Qin Yi stood up: "As for your godfather, it's not the kind of good person you think!" In these years, how many people live in Yizhuang are good people? ”

When he was done, he turned and left.
