Psychic Tattoo - Chapter 56 The Ghost Tattoo Buddhist Monk's Knife

Liu the Sixth was really a senior business man. We could buy many things only from him. 

I told him not to boast before he could show them.

He asked me: “How powerful did you want it?”

“As much as possible,” I said to him.

Liu the Sixth thought for a while and said: “What about the soul of a policeman killed by a fierce bandit during a chase?”

“You even have the soul of a policeman killed by a fierce bandit during a chase?” I was surprised.

Evil souls, spirits and powerful souls were all souls from human beings.

The differences were:

A spirit was the continuous life after ordinary people died Everyone would have it.

An evil soul was the continuous life after a person died with resentment – also called a Li ghost.

A powerful soul was actually one from good people who died.

For example, if they died while saving someone from drowning, that soul was called a powerful soul.

If they were courageous and were killed by a bandit, their soul would be called a powerful soul.

The best powerful soul, as mentioned by Liu the Sixth was the soul of a policeman killed while chasing a fierce bandit.

It would be very effective at killing that female ghost.

But it was rather hard to get this kind of soul, since it was not good for the good deed to his credit in the next world.

The policeman was really a good man since he was killed while chasing a fierce bandit; we might even call him a local hero. A hero’s soul was still the hero, and it might be against our conscience if it was used for business purposes.

I shook my head and said: “I can’t take it, it’s too powerful.”

Liu the Sixth laughed: “Shui, don’t be like that. I knew you want it even though you said no. I know the reason, you think it might not be good for the good deed to his credit in the next world. Well, let me tell you, I would never sell a hero’s soul for business purposes against my conscience. However, you can use this one.”

I almost burst into laughter when I heard that Liu the Sixth had a limit. How could it be, since he could do anything he wanted?

However, I was really wrong this time, since he actually did the right thing.

I said with half a smile: “So, tell me. Why can I use this soul?”

“Why? Well, just listen to me.” Liu the Sixth told me: “This soul was freely given by that dead policeman.”

“He gave it to you? Are you joking?” I asked.

Then he said it was really given by that policeman during the action.

He told me that policeman was Xu Yi, the son of his friend.

Xu Yi was a narcotics cop, and his work was rather dangerous. He was almost beaten to death when he went out to investigate for the first time. At that time, a bandit just put a gun to his head, and he might have died if his partner hadn’t come in time.

After that experience, he went to Liu the Sixth and said to him: “I know you buy souls, so you teach me how to call back my spirit, and give me some money when I give my soul to you.”

Xu Yi was not doing it for money, nor for fear of death.

He was afraid that nobody would take care of his family if he died.

He just wanted to give that money to them.

So that he could leave peacefully.

At the time, Liu the Sixth gave him a hexagonal bell. It was ghost-finding bell with Taoist talisman lines inside. That bell would ring when a person wore it, and stop ringing after a while as the soul was absorbed.

When Liu the Sixth gave this bell to Xu Yi, he told him seriously: “Xu Yi, you are a good man, you’re not afraid to die and I just hope this bell will never ring.”

But it rang at last, as he was killed by a drug dealer during an investigation. He was shot in the heart and died immediately.

Liu the Sixth sighed and said: “So I gave his wife the one hundred and fifty thousand, and can you guess what happened next?”

“What’s that?” I asked him.

He told me: “On the day when Xu Yi was killed, his wife was stealthily having a love affair with other man. She hooked up with her colleague since Xu Yi didn’t stay at home for a long time Then Xu Yi’s wife just took the money and went away. She just left her son to Xu Yi’s father. Well, I still can’t understand some human natures, though I have lived so long.”

I whispered and cursed: “What a scumbag His wife really sucked.”

“Alas, there’re lovely and kind-hearted girls in the world, maybe Xu Yi loved the wrong person. He earned the money at the cost of his life, but it was used up by that damn woman with the other man.” The more he said, the lower his voice became: “Shui, I won’t ask for a high price, one hundred thousand.”

“One hundred thousand?” I couldn’t believe what I’d heard: “It cost you one hundred and fifty thousand, and you sell it to me at only one hundred thousand?”

Liu the Sixth laughed silently and hopelessly. He told me: “There is only one successor of Yin and Yang tattoos like you. Your skill is not only the best in the country but also very distinguished, that’s why I believe you will treat his soul well.

“Come on, my brother, Xu Yi had a respectable life, you should give him a good result so that he can leave with honor,” he said.

I nodded: “I have to ask my customer whether I need it or not. Anyway, I guarantee that he will leave with honor if I use his soul.”

“That’s what I want. Well, we can find ourselves such geniuses.” Then he said: “Call me whenever you want that soul. One hundred thousand.”

“All right.”

I hung up too, turned to Feng Chunsheng, and said: “Brother Chun I’ve got it, I got that soul.”

“Goo, now call Ruan Qinse,” he said.

I made a call to Ruan Qinse and told her to come to my shop in the afternoon, so that I could help her with the female ghost in her house.

After that, I told the story of Xu Yi to Feng Chunsheng.

Hearing that, Feng Chunsheng sighed and said: “I am eager for Ruan Qinse to do this business with us.”

“Why?” I asked him.

He told me: “The faster this business concludes the faster Xu Yi can have his reincarnation.”

“So why didn’t Liu the Sixth release his soul for reincarnation? This amount of money is rather small for him,” I told him.

Feng Chunsheng smiled, saying that it was not a matter of money. Xu Yi gave the soul to Liu the Sixth, but Xi Yi would never get a reincarnation if Liu the Sixth didn’t give it to someone who needed it.

That soul was rather resolute, you must know about it. So how could you accept the rudely offered?

I nodded: “You are right It was absolutely like that, and we should speed up and go back to the shop. We must make that tattoo and kill the female ghost.”

“OK.”

Feng Chunsheng and I rode the electric bike back to the tattoo shop.

When we arrived downstairs, he suggested I should buy a car since this electric bike was beneath my status.

Damn, I am a boss and don’t even think like that. How can you think like this since you were only a beggar a few days ago? Are you out of your mind?

We went upstairs, and rested on the tattoo couch.

It was around three o’clock in the afternoon when we heard a hoarse voice: “Mr. Yu, it’s me.”

I opened my eyes and found it was Run Qinse. I woke up Feng Chunsheng immediately, and we all sat beside the table.

I asked her: “Did you know that there is a female ghost in your house?”

“What?” Ruan Qinse seemed to be ignorant.

Then I continued: “It’s not your kid inside your body, did you know that?”

“This?” She shook again.

I was frank with her “Actually, it’s a ghost fetus. That female ghost just borrowed your body and made you pregnant, did you know about this?

“How can it be like that?” Ruan Qinse’s face turned whiter than a piece of paper.

Then I continued: “You have to give up that child. You will die if you don’t kill that female ghost, and your husband will die too.”

“He must be OK, right? Because he only comes back home once a week.” Ruan Qinse was trembling and couldn’t say anything.

Feng Chunsheng interrupted immediately: “Ruan Qinse, you must know the truth. That ghost woman possessed you, and in the evening when you made love to you husband, you got pregnant, but this baby was from your husband and that female ghost it is a ghost fetus.”

“So what shall I do now?” she asked me.

I thought for a while and said: “We need to kill that female ghost and that ghost fetus, and the only way is to use a Ghost Tattoo.”

“Oh, my poor baby!”

“You want me to repeat myself? That’s not your kid, it’s a ghost fetus! My sister!” I really got angry. How could she be so foolish? She had to know the gravity of the matter.

Then she cried out.

After a long time, she talked to me: “I will take you suggestion Kill that ghost fetus.”

“That’s right.” I told Ruan Qinse: “That ghost tattoo is very firm, so it must be on the most firm part of your body.”

“Where’s that?” she asked me.

I told her it would be on the forehead.

The top of the head was where a lot of Yang energy gathered. The tattoo should be there, so we had to take the second-best option after drawing it directly onto the brain, and put the tattoo on the forehead.

Ruan Qinse frowned: “Would it be very ugly?”

“No, just take it easy.” I told her: “I will use the spray method for the tattoo. Do you know about spray?”

She shook her head.

I told her, “A spray tattoo is actually a one-time tattoo that can be removed by special chemicals, and it might fade away by itself after a week, even without help.”

“So give me that tattoo,” she said.

I told her: “By the way, yesterday, I mentioned the price as one hundred and twenty thousand That was actually the labor cost for Brother Chun and me. Besides that, you need to pay an extra one hundred thousand for the material Is that OK for you?”

It was impossible for me to give her that tattoo at the original price, since that soul cost me one hundred thousand.

Or else, Feng Chunsheng and I would only have earned ten thousand each.

Then Ruan Qinse made her decision: “I am willing to pay these two hundred and twenty thousand if you can save my husband’s and my lives.”

“That will be OK.”

I pointed to Ruan Qinse and said: “The Ghost Tattoo for you is named ‘Buddhist monk’s knife’. It will surely kill the female ghost in your villa.”
