A unfamiliar young girl was bringing a cup of tea in front of him, comforting him in a low voice.
Li Gen told me before that he was too busy, so he took the initiative to recruit a fellow countryman to come over to help. His name was Mei Bao, and she should be this girl.
This girl saw me coming in and immediately greeted me politely.
I was stunned for a moment. Although she was dressed simply, this girl had a natural and unadorned delicacy and beauty.
Her face is very classic, and when she puts on ancient clothes, she looks like an ancient beauty.
"Are you Mei Bao?" I asked casually.
"Boss Li, my name is Li Meibao. I am Li Gen's fellow villager. I left home a while ago and came to the city to find a job. Because I have no skills and no education, it has been very difficult. Li Gen felt sorry for me, so he asked me to come here.
work."
Seeing that she was a little nervous, I quickly waved my hand.
"It's okay, it's fine. As long as you can get used to working here, you can continue to work here. The salary is the same as Reagan's, five thousand a month."
The girl opened her mouth in surprise.
"Five...five thousand? That's a lot. Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss. I will do my best."
"Okay, go and do your work. Don't call me boss from now on. My name is Li Yang. You can just call me Brother Yang."
Mei Bao thanked me profusely, bowed to me, and then went to help Li Gen.
I saw that the first floor was a bit messy, so I took Zhang Daqiang directly to the second floor.
It's very quiet in my office on the second floor.
Zhang Daqiang, however, still looked panicked. As soon as he arrived at the office, he made a splash and frightened me to his knees.
I quickly helped him up, asked him to sit down on the sofa, and told him about the ghost photo again.
He swallowed and said with a sad face: "I didn't do anything wrong. I just picked up a photo and thought that the girl in the photo was pretty, so I didn't want to throw it away. Who knew I would get caught up in it."
"Master Li, I am really a good person. That thing asked me to go out to meet her in my dream at night, but I didn't even agree. After all, I have a wife and children, so I won't do that kind of thing."
"But who knew that my cousin saw the photo, took it away, and showed it to his two friends. As a result, he dreamed that the girl in the photo asked them to meet by the lake at night, and they went.
Then... he died in the lake somehow."
Zhang Daqiang choked up as he spoke.
"Now my cousin's family insists that I harmed my cousin and is forcing me to pay compensation. Who am I provoking?"
"I can't afford that much money, and besides, I'm about to die. The girl in the photo keeps telling me in dreams that she wants me to go to the lake and wait for her. She also said that tonight is the last time, and if I don't go, I will be killed.
.”
"Oh Master Li, you need to save me."
At first glance, Daqiang appears to be an honest and honest person, but after picking up the photo, he kept the photo because he had lustful thoughts, which caused trouble.
If he had thrown away the photo at that time, what happened later would not have happened.
But seeing how he was crying and crying, I couldn't bear to scold him.
"As for the matter, I'm already clear about it. If you want to survive, just do as I say. Didn't she ask you to meet at the lake tonight? Then you go."
"No, no, if I go, I will have to die just like my cousin. Master Li, I have an elder and a younger one, so I can't die."
I said impatiently: "Who said you will die if you go? I'm here, right? What are you afraid of? Will I let you die?"
"Well, that's true. Master Li, what do you mean..."
"I will protect you in secret. As soon as that thing comes out, I will get rid of her as quickly as possible and won't let her hurt you."
"By the way, you have a companion tonight, and he will go with you, because the ghost in the photo also made an appointment with him."
Of course I'm talking about the mistress.
"Ah? She also made an appointment with someone else? She...isn't she trying to stand up for herself?"
I said, "It's more than just two boats. Maybe I've made appointments with other people, but it doesn't matter, the two of you are enough."
Although Zhang Daqiang agreed, he was still worried and kept asking me to give him an amulet or get him a tattoo, otherwise he would not dare to see the female ghost.
Seeing how cowardly he was, I was speechless, so I agreed to get him a tattoo as an extra layer of insurance.
I thought about it and decided to give him a tattoo of a ghost-avoiding beast. This beast is black all over, has two legs on its head, and has eyes like copper bells. But it is not a big beast, it is just a small beast that can ward off evil spirits and ward off ghosts.
It functions as a talisman.
But Zhang Daqiang refused and insisted on letting me give him a Zhongkui tattoo.
This man is stubborn. He said that he only believed in Zhong Kui, and he didn't believe in anyone else.
Although I was speechless, I still agreed. Anyway, tattoos are all tattoos, but I also told him the side effects.
"Zhong Kui is a secular god in Taoism. He specializes in exorcising evil spirits and fighting ghosts. Not everyone can get this tattoo. Are you sure you can memorize it? There may be side effects if you don't do it, so you have to think about it."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Daqiang sounded very firm, saying that he would get Zhong Kui's tattoo, and he was not afraid of the side effects.
That's okay, I immediately called the mistress again and asked him to come over.
Since I wanted to get a tattoo for Zhang Daqiang, I also had to get one for my mistress, just to be on the safe side.
Soon the mistress came.
I took the two of them to the adjacent tattoo room.
I tattooed Zhang Daqiang first, and I asked him to take off his shirt and lie on the tattoo bed.
And I washed my hands and took the tools.
First, I painted Zhong Kui on his back, and then started to paint. Zhang Daqiang had rough skin and thick flesh, and he didn't feel any pain, so he cooperated quite well.
Although it was full of character drawings, it was completed in less than an hour, which is quite fast.
Then comes the most important step, stabbing the soul.
In fact, you need to summon the soul first, and then insert the summoned soul into the tattoo.
I used to feel a little dizzy when I was summoning spirits, and occasionally I could still hear the sound of opera singing. After a while, the dizziness disappeared, and the sound of opera singing did not appear again. After about a few minutes, I saw a black mist rolling in.
In the air before my eyes.
I know that I have summoned Zhong Kui's soul. He is a secular god in the underworld and should not be underestimated.
So I prayed respectfully in my heart, which probably meant that God Zhongkui, Lord Zhongkui, could be attached to this tattoo and help it survive this calamity.
I could vaguely see that the black mist had transformed into a human figure wearing a black robe, eight feet tall, with a big beard, and eyes as wide as copper bells.
Although his face was ugly, he nodded to me and quickly drifted towards the tattoo on Zhang Daqiang's back.
I quickly picked up the soul-piercing needle, walked the thread again, and inserted the tumbling human figure into the tattoo.
Finally finished, I raised my hand to wipe the fine beads of sweat on my forehead and signaled to Zhang Daqiang that he could get up.
After Zhang Daqiang sat up, I used two mirrors to show him alternately. He kept exclaiming that the tattoo was so vivid.
He also asked me if I really summoned the soul of the great god Zhong Kui?
I said of course, otherwise how could it be called Thorn Soul?
He almost jumped up with joy.
"It's okay now. With the great god Zhong Kui protecting me, I'm not afraid of any female ghost. Master Li, I will follow your instructions and go to the lake to meet the female ghost tonight."
The mistress next to me also said it was amazing and asked me if I wanted to get him a Zhong Kui tattoo. I shook my head and said that Zhong Kui has only one soul. Before these things are resolved, he can only get a tattoo once, and I want to
The one tattooed on him was the little beast that used to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits.
The mistress didn't have any choice, she took off her shirt and lay on the tattoo bed very cooperatively.
Because the tattoo of this little beast is relatively simple, it was completed in less than half an hour, and the spirit of the little beast was successfully attracted.
After the mistress got up, she looked through the mirror and exclaimed how powerful it was.
I asked the two of them to go back first and wait for my call in the evening.
They left.
And I went directly to the first floor and tried my best to receive more than a dozen guests and listened to them tell about the evil things they had encountered. Although they were fussing and making things more urgent than the last, in fact, I encountered
It's all the little things.
For example, an aunt's grandson was taken to visit a grave by an adult, so he got hit by evil spirits. In fact, he lost his soul and suffered a little fright, but it was nothing serious.
But the aunt was so anxious that she insisted that her grandson would die if I didn't take action, which made me speechless.
I asked her to follow my method, use a stick to pick up a piece of her grandson's clothes, and go to the grave sweeping place to summon the soul. If nothing else, the soul should be summoned back soon.
After finishing the work, it was almost dark, and both Li Gen and Meibao were very tired. I asked Li Gen to hang up the proof sign and ask the guests to come back tomorrow.
