The police came out carrying the body of the shop owner.
A stretcher was covered with white cloth. When it passed in front of me, the white cloth suddenly blew up in the wind.
The body on the stretcher is the man who gave me the tattoo yesterday!
He was very thin, with a lifeless blue color on his face, exactly the same as the one I saw yesterday.
What the hell is going on? Didn’t I say that I have been dead for a week? A dead man gave me a tattoo yesterday?
"Lin Xi? Lin Xi!" Yin Meilan called me, "You look ugly, are you okay?"
I wanted to tell Yin Meilan everything about yesterday's experience, but then I thought about it, who in the right mind would believe such a thing.
I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down, "Meilan, I seem to have made a mistake. I didn't get my tattoo done in this shop.
We are not looking for it anymore.
When will your dad come back? Just ask your dad to help me wash the tattoo.
"
"Tonight's train will arrive tomorrow afternoon.
"
Have to wait until tomorrow!
What if that man comes to see me again tonight...
"Lin Xi, why are you crying? What's wrong with you?"
Seeing Yin Meilan's panicked face, I realized that I had already burst into tears.
"I...I'm scared..." I'm really scared.
"Although I told you that the tattoo you got is a demon, you don't have to be so scared, right? It's just a tattoo." Seeing that I was still scared, Yin Meilan said, "If you are really worried, I will take you to seek peace.
symbol.
The owner of Charity Hall is an old friend of my dad's. My dad said that he has a fairy in him.
Therefore, the peace charms he drew were all stained with fairy spirit, which could keep people safe.
"
I nodded quickly, "Let's go now.
"
Charity Hall is located in the center of Haicheng City, in an old residential building.
The storefront is a small facade converted from a residential building, with a shop outside and people sleeping inside.
Two of the "Charity Hall" signs were damaged, the signboard was in tatters, and there were funeral wreaths, chrysanthemums, incense and other things at the door.
In the store, there are shrouds hanging on both sides, and there is a glass display cabinet at the end with various urns inside.
Yin Meilan took me into the store and shouted, "Uncle Lin, we have a customer.
"
"coming.
"The curtain behind the counter opened, and a fat old man came out.
The fat old man is in his seventies. He wears a big vest and big trousers, a pair of slippers, and a fan in his hand. He has a bald head and a wrinkled face. He is no different from an ordinary old man.
He looked me up and down, and then his expression suddenly became respectful, "Please come with me.
"
you?
I thought this old man was quite polite.
As soon as I took a step forward, the fat old man glared at me and said, "You two wait where you are.
"
It’s just me and Yin Meilan in the store. If you’re not calling me or Yin Meilan, then who are you calling?
At this time, a cold wind suddenly blew by, as if an invisible person walked behind me.
There was a buzz in my head and I almost knelt down on the spot.
That thing won't always be following me, right?
The fat old man quickly confirmed my guess.
About two minutes later, the fat old man came out of the inner room again and said to me, "You have been attracted by Baojiaxian. He is following you now because he wants you to establish a hall and worship him.
"
The establishment of a hall means that I have become a disciple, and I want to worship Baojiaxian, help people solve various problems, accumulate virtues and do good deeds, and help Baojiaxian complete his merits as soon as possible.
My hometown is in Liaocheng, Northeast China, and my grandma believed in this, so when I was a child, I followed my grandma and saw the goddess performing a magic dance to invite immortals.
It's no exaggeration to say that he was wearing a mask, jumping up and down, and singing words that he couldn't understand, just like a lunatic.
I said, "Old sir, please help me, I don't want to be a disciple..."
Before I could finish speaking, a cold wind suddenly came towards me and blew on my neck.
My breath tightened, and it felt like a pair of invisible hands were strangling my neck.
I thought of the man from last night standing in front of me, squeezing my neck.
My scalp was numb and I was so scared that my tears kept rolling down.
The fat old man said hurriedly, "Grandpa Xianjia will not come to you for no reason. It was your family that did something wrong to Grandpa Xianjia first. Grandpa Xianjia did not take revenge on your family. He just asked you to be his disciple and worship him."
He, this is already a kindness to your family.
If you still want to live and your family is safe, then immediately agree to Grandpa Xian's request.
"
The hand holding my neck was slightly firm, not hurting me, but making me truly feel that he existed.
I was so scared that my legs were weak and I was trembling, so I dared to say I didn’t want to.
"I promise, as long as Grandpa Xian lets me go and lets my family go, I will do whatever he asks me to do.
"
As soon as I finished speaking, the cold wind that wrapped around my neck gently circled my cheek, as if it was patting my face, and then disappeared.
To open a hall, the disciples of the elders who already have a hall must lead the newcomers in. This is called a guide.
The fat old man is naturally my guide.
I live in a school dormitory, and the dormitory cannot have an incense hall, so the fat old man said, let me set up the incense hall in his place first.
He cleaned up a room, took out red paper and a writing brush, and wrote the four characters "Master Liu San" on the red paper.
Then he pasted the red paper on a wooden sign and handed it to me, "You put the tablet in the room, burn three sticks of incense, and kowtow three times.
Your immortal's surname is Liu, and he is the biological brother of the head of the Liu family's main hall. He is of a very high rank among the immortals of the Bao family. In the future, you should be filial and do more good deeds, so as not to make Grandpa Xian unhappy.
"
I nodded, took the memorial tablet and the tribute and entered the house.
After setting up the memorial tablets and tributes, I lit three sticks of incense, knelt down and kowtowed, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.
After doing this, I turned around and ran.
I was the only one in the room, so I was very scared.
Before I could reach the door, my wrist was grabbed by a pair of cold hands.
