Chapter 42:Nine Dragons Pull Coffin
Liao Min
seemed to be hiding something.I didn’t want to talk to her.She had her reason,
but it could not be a reason to cheat me.
I had
only one life. I wasnot a cat with nine lives!
I still
pushed her to the door: “Go, go. I can’t do anything for you.Remember, when you
are willing to tell the truth, come back. If you don't want to say it, you can
either find another expert or die at home.”
After she
continuously cheated me two times, I still gave her a chance. I had to do my
best.
She stood
at the door, thinking for two minutes, wiping away her tears.
Alas. I
sighed, hopingshe could come to me to tell the truth.I did not want to make
money off her, just to save her life.
But Feng
Chunsheng pushed me and said, "Shui, what are you doing? Is it a pity to
be such a woman? She didn't tell the truth, we cannot be merciful to her."
"Maybe
there are difficulties?" I looked atFeng Chunsheng.
I thought
of her words: “I cannot tell the truth.If I say anything, I will still die.”
"Don't
care about it.” He smiled coldly: “In the ghost business,you should have ahard
heart.If those charlatans didn’t have a hard heart, they couldn’tmake money.We have
goods, and if we don’t havehard hearts, more than a few lives will be lost.”
I thought
his words reasonable, as far as it was possible not to think of Liao Min, I changed
the topic, and asked him: “Brother, you wentout to pull in business for me. Why
are you back so soon?”
“Crap. I
found someone; otherwise, what wouldI be doing out here?" Feng Chunsheng
put away his ‘begging iron’, pointing at a quiet person standing at the end of
the corridor, and said, "If thisbusiness is well done, I am sure you won’thave
any accident in the ghost business in the next five years."
"He's
an amulet." He said to me.
I turned
my head and looked at him: “Amulet?”
"Let's
go. Go and see," he pulled me toward the end of the corridor.
I saw the
man over there.His figure was tall;his back was very wide.He was not an
ordinary person.
He wore a
black hooded robe and stood with his back to us.
When I came
to him, I shouted, "Brother, what’s bothering you?"
The man
did not look back, notspeaking, and justputhis hands behind his back.
On his
hands, I saw it. This person was really not anaverage person.
On the
wrists of his two hands, there was a tattoo ofa dragon’s head.
I had
been a tattoo artist for many years.With just one look, I knew the tattoo was
called ‘two dragons emerge from the sea’.
Two long
tails should be in the center of the sternum, and then long bodies entangled
around the big arms, with the heads placed at the wrists.
Dragon
tattoos were relatively fierce.The appearance of the pattern was dignified.
Western
dragon tattoos were very violent, the faces were fierce.
The most
kind-hearted dragon tattoo was called ‘water dragon’, its face was peaceful,
but still solemn.
But this
dragon tattoo on his wristhad a face full of grievance, like a crying child being
robbed of candy.
In fact,
I knew that no tattooist would give him a pattern such a "two dragons emerge
from the sea."After all, the tattoo business had lots of rules, especially
regardingdragons, "Guan Gong" and so on.They were absolutely not lightly
distributed.
So, I
guessed, the expression of this dragon tattoo was suppressed by his
temperament.
Tattoos
rely on people. If they can't hold people back,they areheld back by people.
The two
dragonswere held back by the man at the same time.The man must have beena
master.
I thought
of it, and whispered, "Brother, you wanted to see me?"
The man
turned and looked at me.
He looked
at me for a moment and almost scared me to death.
This
person was actually handsome.His facial features were exquisite, buthis temperament
was fierce.My legs went soft when he stared at me.
His eyes
were especially sharp.They made my skin crawl.He seemed to see straight through
the secrets in my heart.
"Brother...”
I was trembling to ask.
The man
pulled out a picture from his pocket and handed it to me: “This picture, can
you change it?”
I took
the photo andglanced at the pattern.The pattern was a "Yi Ji.”
She wore
half of ashirt, her left hand holdinga golden mask.Herappearance was very
simple and elegant, her black hair cascading like a waterfall.
I gavethe
photo back to that man and said, "Brother, if you want to change the
tattoo on yourback, I have to look at your tattoo."
“Sure.”
The man
put away the photo.He still had no expression, as if we did not exist. He said:
“My name is Chen Yuhao, you can call me Little Yu.”
Xiaoyu?
I felt a
man called Xiaoyu…was a little inappropriate? Although the appearance of Chen
Yuhao was indeed very handsome, this was too... too gay.
I was
thinking about whether to change the name,when Feng Chunsheng shouted: “Ouch,
you are so high in the ghost business seniority, we dare not to call you Little
Yu. We will call you Brother Yu.”
Feng
Chunsheng…This personwas a little playful, but when he saw Chen Yuhao he was
very serious and very modest.
Chen
Yuhao nodded: “Yes.”
I pointed
directly to my tattoo room: “This way, Brother Yu.”
“Well.”
Chen
Yuhao nodded and went forwardwith his hands behind his back.
Feng Chunsheng
and I looked at each other with a bitter smile.
It seemed
to not be soeasy to get along with him.If I was to do business with him, I had
to work hard.
The three
of us came intothe tattoo room.Chen Yuhao was quick to take off his robe.He wore
loose satin trousers, revealing the toned musculature of his upper body.
His chestmuscle
were wide, the abdominal line was hard.With his body, he looked just like a male
model.
Under his
collarbone there were two dragon tails.
Then he
turned around and showed us the back.
After
looking, I was stunned.
This was
thefirst time I saw someone who could carry this tattoo.
On his
backwas a ‘nine dragons pull coffin’tattoo.
The usual
‘nine dragons pull coffin’tattoo also had meanings.The color could not be
complicated because it was afierce tattoo, therefore the best choice was a
combination of three colors.
But on
this ‘nine dragons pull coffin’tattoo, not only were the colors complex,but the
details were true to life, not like a tattoo.Like... it naturally grew from his
skin.
The coffin
was bronze.The surface's color was really beautiful, the color gradient was
very even.
The chain
of nine dragons pulling the coffin werepainted on a layer of gold.The color was
very bright... This person's skin was not smooth, there were fine
lineseverywhere.Such a bright color would have been difficult to achieve.
The nine dragons
were extremely beautiful, with all kinds of colors.The centermost was a black
dragon.
And the
next two dragons, a golden dragon and a red dragon, had two other dragons
emerging from their mouths... Those two dragonswerethe "two dragons emerging
from the sea" from his wrist.
These
eleven dragons were wronged, held back by his temperament... This Chen Yuhao
was really not anordinary person.
I also
knew why hechose me to change the tattoo.
Many
tattooists had finer artistic skills than me, but for this tattoo,he had tofind
me... because this tattoo was not anormaltattoo, but a Yin and Yang Tattoo.
Yin and
Yang Tattooscan
only be done by me,but this was a Yin and Yang Tattoo on his body. Who could
have drawn this tattoo for him?
I said to
him, "Brother, only I can change this tattoo."
“Well.” He
nodded.
I said
again: “Yin and Yang Tattoosaretattoos made of Yin Tattoos and Yang Tattoos.If you
want to change it, we need to have a plan, and then to find the corresponding
ghost to change this picture.The picture is big project... If you cannot
change, or not... “
I had not
finished, but he stood up, and a hand held down my shoulder: “Three days from
now, I’ll ask for your plan.If you have one, it's OK. If you don’t, I'll find
another.”
After
saying that, he looked back fiercely, stared at me and said full of hostility: “But
I’ll have to smash your sign.”
After theseruthless
words, he turned and went out the door, and didn’t talk to me anymore.
I turned
my head and complained to Feng Chunsheng: “Alas! Brother... You're crazy, you
broughtme crazy business.”
"Are
you insane?It's a huge benefit." He said to me, "His ‘nine dragons
pull coffin’tattoo, was itforeboding or auspicious?"
"Of
course it is foreboding, very foreboding." I shouted.
Feng
Chunsheng said this was right. Brother Yu could suppress the tattoo on hisback,
butcould not suppress the ghost? We had this person, and hewas the god of
suppression.
I
thought,“Yes. This guy isnot normal. Absolutely not normal.”
Feng
Chunsheng and I were chattingwhen Chen Yuhao reappearedat the door and said to
me: “I forgot to pay the deposit.”
After
that, he raised his hand and hit us with a note.
The note
wassoft, but in the hands of Chen Yuhao it was as hard as a steel plate, and directly
stuckto the back of the chair next to me.
After I
took off the note, I glanced at thefivewords on it:“The room skills all around the world are from the five elements theory”.
"What
does that mean? Is that a deposit?" I took the note and handed it to Feng
Chunsheng.
Healso didn't
understand what ‘The room skills all
around the world are from the five elements theory’ meant.
I said,
"The room is aroom for men and women to act ... He meant sex?”
"Impossible."
He said, "Chen Yuhao is a master. Although he is young, he is extremely
high in ghost business seniority.He wouldnot write something so shameless.”
"Bah!Sexual
intercourse is also called shameless? That's sacred!" I grabbed his
collar: “You have to tell me the whole story... Chen Yuhao will smash my sign
three days from now.”
Chen
Yuhao said thatif I couldn't give him the plan to change the tattoo in three
days,he would definitely smash my sign.
How to
change his tattoo? ‘Nine dragons pull coffin’ was all over his back, sowhere
can I change anything?
"Alas.
Nine dragons pull coffin?”I seemed to have heard the namewhen I was an
apprentice with my master... However, that memory was very old, and I couldn't
remember it very clearly.
