Chapter 12: The Inheritance of the Five Arts

Ten minutes later, I was sitting in the dressing room, smoking a cigarette without a puff.

This is my second day at work, I don't know if the innate comprehension is too strong or how to drop, anyway, in just two days, I have learned the technique of smoking and spitting circles, and Uncle Quan on the side is sitting next to me lightly, and a pair of old eyes are looking at me as if they are nothing.

"Are you really sure you don't want to do it?" Uncle Quan said lightly.

Uncle Quan's voice fell, and I spat out a puff of smoke, then raised my eyebrows and said hatefully, "How do you do this?" I'm just here to burn the corpse, but you still want me to keep a night watch, forget about the night watch, and there is a morgue in Ya's crematorium? How do you say you can get on this class!"

Just a few minutes ago, Uncle Quan told me that the row of small black houses was not actually a warehouse, but a place for those unidentified and unclaimed corpses; As for the girl named Little Tomato, she is one of them; Uncle Quan also said that there are more than a dozen of them in the small black house like Little Tomato!

You say, I want a lot of money, so I came to work in this crematorium, but I'm not stupid, if I am going to be harmed by these guys one day, who will compensate my old Zhou family for such a son of Yushu Linfeng?

"Boy, I said it's not called a morgue, that's the name of the hospital, and we call it Yin and Yang on our side!"

"I don't care what you do, anyway, I'm going to flash people tomorrow, I'll find a way to pay back your two thousand yuan, and if this class goes down again, I'll scare them to death sooner or later......"

I made it clear that I was going to take the burden, and tonight I was frightened by the little girl, and instead of being tired in the middle of the night, I was especially indignant.

When Uncle Quan heard my words, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then the corners of his mouth showed a hint of a playful smile.

"Do you think you can stop doing it if you don't want to?"

"Or you can force me?" I frowned and replied.

"Hey, hey." Uncle Quan chuckled, but then his eyes swept directly to me.

As soon as I saw Uncle Quan's gaze, my heart suddenly tightened, could it be that this old guy wanted to do something to me that everyone was angry with? In the news on TV before, I often saw guys who said that they had some heavy tastes, and they liked small fresh meat like me......

"I can say it, I don't like men, and I'm an old man......" I immediately leaned back half a step.

"Hmph, the boy who hasn't grown his hair is all right, if I say, if you don't want to die, you must follow me and continue to be a cremator, do you believe it?"

Uncle Quan's voice slowly fell, and I immediately showed a look of contempt, "Believe you, I might as well believe in Jesus?"

"Hmph, silly boy, you're still stiff-mouthed when you're dying, look at your chest." Uncle Quan said angrily.

"Look at the chest?"

Uncle Quan's words made me a little suspicious in my heart, why do you look at your chest so well? Do you still say that death is imminent? Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid who can scare me casually?

I quickly pulled off my clothes, thinking that I was going to let Uncle Quan see my strong pectoral muscles, but when I saw my chest, my mind suddenly went blank......

I saw that under the bright white electric light, I saw that there was a very obvious red spot on the skin of my chest.

And just yesterday when I was taking a shower, I didn't see this thing on my chest, why did I suddenly have a red spot today?

I gasped, and I was even more shocked!

"What's going on? Why do I have this thing on me?"

I quickly reached out to wipe the red spot away, but when I found that my hand touched the red spot, I felt that the red spot felt very rough to the touch, like the sand!

At this time, Uncle Quan on the side glanced at me lightly, and then said lightly: "Silly boy, have you ever seen a snake change its skin?"

"I've seen it on TV." I nodded abruptly.

"Hmph, your thing is similar to a snake changing skin, but the snake is changing skin for new life, and you gave birth to this thing to wait for death."

Uncle Quan's words fell, and I only felt that my head was suddenly circled!

"Waiting to die? Uncle Quan, you're not kidding, are you? Isn't this your average erythema? Am I allergic?"

"Allergies? You stupid boy, let me ask you, do you remember the fairy master of Linjia Village before? The way he looked before he died was covered in this red stuff......"

As soon as I heard Uncle Quan talk about the immortal master in Linjia Village before, I couldn't help but beat a spirit!

That fairy was the second corpse I had burned, and when he was sent to the stove, I saw this fairy covered in blood, like a bloody man.

"That blood is what comes out of this thing, and this thing is called blood spots." Uncle Quan opened the cigarette case and gently pulled one out of it.

Seeing this, I pounced, first took the initiative to light a cigarette for Uncle Quan, and then I didn't care about the disheveled clothes, so I beat Uncle Quan on the back.

"My good Uncle Quan, don't lie to me if I don't read much, how can this blood spot be cured? I'm still so young, and my daughter-in-law hasn't even married, I really don't want to die......"

At the end of my words, I was actually a little scared in my heart; In the past two days at work in the crematorium, although there are not many corpses burned, I have also witnessed the state of people after death, silently, without a trace of feeling and consciousness, and they are burned to ashes by the raging fire.

And the feeling of watching an intact corpse turn into a pile of ashes in front of me made me realize the preciousness of life, which is really something that can't be exchanged for money......

"Hmph, weren't you quite hard-mouthed just now?" Uncle Quan teased.

"Am I not kidding you?"

Uncle Quan rolled his eyes at me and said, "Hmph, I really don't want to die?"

I nodded violently, although I despised Uncle Quan in my heart and said that you are not talking nonsense? There is any fool in the world who wants to die, but on the surface, I still pretend to be respectful.

"If you don't want to die, it's very simple, then continue to be a cremator, I see that your bones are clear and your fate is strong......"

"Stop, Uncle Quan, let's talk about the point, I'll be a cremator, will you save me?" I licked my cheeks and said to Uncle Quan.

"Yes, as long as you continue to be a cremator, I will save you, no, I will teach you how to avoid the retribution of destiny!"

Uncle Quan's voice fell slowly, and I couldn't help but feel my heart move; And soon, Uncle Quan's next words made me even more waves.

"Boy, that jade ring is already in your hand, do you know what the origin of this jade ring is?" Uncle Quan asked.

I shook my head and said I didn't know, but I was directly taken aback in my heart, I didn't expect Uncle Quan to know that I had picked up the jade ring......

"Hmph, you don't know anything and dare to carry this dead man's thing in your arms? Have you ever heard of the Five Techniques of Metaphysics?"

I shook my head again, saying I don't know.

I saw Uncle Quan's eyes narrowing slightly, as if he hated iron and steel, I unconsciously touched my nose and smiled.

"The so-called five arts, refers to the mountain, medicine, life, physiognomy, divination of the five ancient learning, although this surface is a kind of learning, but after the long years and countless sages of excellence, has become a kind of inheritance;

And this inheritance belongs to the technique of breaking the destiny of heaven, so the person who inherits these five techniques will be very vulnerable to the retribution of the mandate of heaven, and as for the jade ring you wear on your left hand, it is the inheritance of physiognomy among the five arts......"
