Not long after the boy left, my grandma came back.
Thinking of the boy's plea before he left, I didn't tell grandma about him coming to get a tattoo. I just said that he was a rich man, and he got a very large ordinary tattoo. He was very satisfied with it, so I paid more generously.
After hearing this, grandma didn't say much.
He just told me again: "Ling'er, there is no problem with ordinary tattoos, but you must not get tattoos made with our special potion."
"I know." I nodded helplessly: "Grandma, I remember what you said. Before I am eighteen years old, I will never use our potions to tattoo others. I can only use ordinary tattoo materials. You can tell me these things.
I’ve been saying this for so many years.”
It doesn't matter, I will be eighteen years old in three days anyway.
I will soon know the secret of my potion.
But grandma poked me lightly on the forehead: "You, don't think that grandma doesn't know what you are thinking. Even if it is only three days, we must abide by the rules."
"Go and prepare. In three days, grandma will pass on all these things to you. It's time to teach you."
"Okay. Thank you grandma." I was very happy that I got what I wanted.
However, what I didn't expect was...
Three days later, my birthday came.
But the mayor also suddenly visited our tattoo shop.
He was accompanied by the village chief.
These two giant Buddhas suddenly came to the store, so naturally they couldn't take care of my birthday, and the craftsmanship that grandma was going to hand over to me was also delayed.
"Village chief, what is this?" Grandma looked at the middle-aged man in front of her and asked.
"Grandma Zang, this is our newly appointed Mayor Lin. Didn't the old Mayor retire? From now on, our town will be under the control of Mayor Lin." The village chief enthusiastically introduced to my grandmother.
"Hello, Mayor Lin." Grandma also smiled and extended her hand.
"Hello, Grandma Zang." Mayor Lin smiled very kindly, "Actually, I came here today because I wanted to trouble you with something."
As soon as Mayor Lin finished speaking, everyone who was originally following them was called out by the village chief.
When grandma saw this formation, she immediately understood, "Mayor, mayor, how about we go into the house and talk."
Our tattoo shop is connected to the courtyard where we live.
So what grandma meant when she entered the house was to enter the backyard of our house.
They obviously had something to talk about, so I was naturally very sensible and didn't follow them in.
I thought their meeting would last for a long time, but within a short while, Mayor Lin and the village chief came out.
"Grandma Zang, then let me get a Pixiu tattoo as you wish, and I will trouble you." Mayor Lin said with a smile on his face.
"No trouble, Mayor, please come inside. My granddaughter and I will go get ready first." As she said that, grandma took me inside to get the tools for tattooing.
Just as I thought, Mayor Lin doesn’t have an ordinary tattoo.
Instead, it is a tattoo material made from my special potion.
This time, while grandma was playing with the tools and potions, she asked me: "Do you know why I want to give him a Pixiu tattoo?"
I shook my head honestly: "I don't know."
But grandma said with a serious face: "There are two points. One: Pixiu attracts wealth, wards off evil spirits and brings good luck. This is what he wants. Second: he is an official and eats royal food, so he can suppress these mythical beasts, so I
I just gave him a tattoo. But ordinary people are not allowed to tattoo the upper body of mythical beasts, do you understand?"
"Well, grandma, I've written it down." After saying that, I thought again: "Grandma, are you teaching me? Are these the taboos on using our potions for tattoos?"
"Yes." Grandma nodded, then looked around to make sure no one was around before whispering: "Ling'er, you remember. Our potion has a name, it's called Guixi Water. And Grandma
This kind of tattoo given to people is called ghost seal tattoo."
Ghost seal pattern?
what is that?
I looked at my grandma with confusion on my face.
Grandma said with a serious face: "The ghost seal is the jade seal among ghosts, and it is also the king among ghosts. In ancient times, if emperors wanted to inherit the throne, it was not enough to rely on edicts. The most important thing was to get the jade seal passed down by the country. There is such a thing.
Only then can you gain the country, otherwise, even if you get the country, it will be unfair and unfair."
"The ghost seal pattern is also the same. The reason why everything grandma tattoos is lifelike is because they are really living creatures. It is the ghost seal pattern that gives them life again. It's just that they have a negative life, and we
Human beings have Yang destiny. But there are many things that Yang destiny cannot do, but Yin destiny can do."
I nodded in understanding: "So the monkey, the second son of the Xu family, was also a real living thing?"
"Yes." Grandma nodded: "It was a Yin monkey, and it was also because it ate the little ghost that possessed Erwazi, so Erwazi could save his life."
Listening to grandma's words, I felt both shocked and like a new world had opened up.
Then I thought of something again and hurriedly said: "Grandma, what else is in this Guixi water..."
Is there really a ghost?
"Okay, I'll tell you the rest after I finish tattooing the mayor. Don't let them wait outside for too long." Grandma interrupted me and said.
"Okay, grandma, let me help you." I nodded obediently.
He is the mayor of the town, and he is a new official taking office. Naturally, we cannot offend him.
But what I didn't expect was that when I was helping my grandma take out the tattoo, I bumped into someone.
And this person is none other than... This chapter has been completed!
