Psychic Tattoo - Chapter 85 Yin And Yang Tower
Feng Chunsheng said, “Look at that tower.”
I looked ahead and found that there was a tower. The tower was tall and made of wood, with a few strange patterns carved on it. It did not look like typical Chinese architecture.
On the door of the tower w a variety of beautiful patterns.
The patterns depicted a person surrounded by a group of other people, walking on a cross-shaped scaffold. Their faces were full of fanaticism. At the same time, there was a face behind the scaffold.
“The people of the Miao territory always liked to be mysterious,” Feng Chunsheng said.
I shook my head and said this pattern was not so simple.
He hurriedly turned around and asked me: “You know this one?”
I said the tattoos of the Miao territory had a history of many years. A lot of tattooists would carefully delve into their patterns, which were a kind of ancient witch mystery. Sometimes, literary and artistic young people were interested in them.
I once gave a tattoo to a big company boss’s female secretary.
The pattern of the tattoo was a poison magic cup with a golden silkworm inside. This pattern was famous in the Miao territory.
Then I spoke of the beautiful pattern on the door.
I said, “In fact, this pattern represents the witch sacrifice of the Miao territory – a blood sacrifice.”
In the legend of the Miao territory, when they faced a devil, unlike the Taoists, who would try to find a way to suppress it, they chose one among them to be sacrificed. That person was carried to the edge of the scaffold. Then the tribe used a knife cut open the neck of the sacrifice and let his blood flow out.
The rest of the group, all kneeling on the ground, waited for the demon to consume the blood of the sacrifice and leave.
Some time ago, I gave a tattoo to Li Muzi, a regular girl from the Miao territory. She knew a few of the rituals of the Miao territory.
Feng Chunsheng gave me a thumbs up, “Damn, Shui; you’ve learned quite well.”
Then, he slowly walked to the front of the house and knocked on the door.
He said, “This door makes a hollow sound. It was made a long time ago.”
“Does it?” I knocked too, and confirmed that he was right.
He said one of the five mirrors of The Five Elements Defeat Evils, was hidden inside the building, so we had to go in.
However, the tower was built there. It looked creepy, and was probably even more frightening on the inside.
I let Mimi and Liao Min wait for us outside. They were girls; I didn’t want to be responsible if something happened to them in there.
Mimi’s voice trembled when she said that if we went in without them, she and Liao Min would be even more frightened.
All right.
Then I’ll have to take Liao Min and Mimi along.
The two women, holding onto my sleeves from either side, slowly went inside.
Creak.
The door opened and we were faced with a very strong stench.
I smelled it and felt a little uncomfortable. Nevertheless, I covered my nose and went on.
Feng Chunsheng followed me.
We only took a few steps when the suddenly slammed behind us on its own.
Bang.
I hurried went back to the door and tried to open it, but couldn’t. I had lots of goose bumps.
“Open the door, open the door.” Mimi and Liao Min screamed.
The sound of singing came faintly from behind us as we were wrestling with the door.
That song sounded like songs of the Miao territory. I could not understand any words.
At the same time, I heard the sound of footsteps. Someone was walking in the tower.
I felt scared.
I heard the voice of the man walking up there, and it seemed to have come from within my head.
“Damn it.” I kicked the door hard. I wanted to get out of the tower as fast as possible.
Feng Chunsheng stopped me. “Don’t be scared. Shui, this is not a demon. When demons walk there is no sound, so don’t worry.”
I thought of the words of Liu the Sixth: in the ghost business, I should be bold but cautious.
I hastened to control my mood and said to him, “Brother Chun, what should I do?”
“What else can you do? Take out the mirror.” He said, “The mirror of The Five Elements Defeat Evils will produce very strong evil spirits if it cannot defeat them.”
He paused, and said that the door being locked might have something to do with the mirror.
We slowly walked deeper into the tower; very carefully, but also gripped with horror.
The tower had a total of three floors, and soon we were on the third floor.
As soon as we reached the third floor, we almost collapsed down the stairs in fright.
We saw nine stumps standing on the third floor.
There was a person tied to each stump.
There were pipes sticking out of their necks; on each pipe there was a dried-up blood sacrifice.
“Oh my god.” Mimi and Liao Min hid behind me at the same time.
Those nine people all had terrible faces. Their nails were about a meter long, dangling like ropes.
Their long hair fell directly on the ground, full of dust.
But between the nine people, the middle one had a mirror in front of him.
“The mirror of The Five Elements Defeat Evils, there it is!” Feng Chunsheng pointed to the mirror.
“Should I go?” I asked him.
He stared at me and said, “Are you still waiting for me? You are the one with the fully Yin fate.”
He looked at the ceiling, whistling casually. He didn’t go; only I could go.
I slowly walked over, staring at those people, and picked up the mirror.
As soon as I grabbed it, the sounds of footsteps and singing in the room disappeared.
The creepy atmosphere in the tower was made by this mirror.
I got a little excited, waving the mirror as I said to him, “Brother Chun, the strange sounds in the tower were made by this mirror.”
But when I shouted at them, they looked very frightened.
Feng Chunsheng shouted, “Shui, go quickly! The people behind you are alive.”
“What?” I subconsciously turned, and saw there was a face behind me.
The face wanted to snap at me.
I dodged, scrambling on the ground insanely.
Then I heard a loud clang and became even more afraid, crawling up to Feng Chunsheng’s feet.
He stopped me, “It’s OK. They’re tied down.”
I just wiped cold sweat from my forehead and looked back. Those guys’ necks were all locked in strange, thick chains.
If it hadn’t been for those chains, we might have died.
Feng Chunsheng took the mirror, with an annoyed expression. He said, “Alas, when I saw their long nails and hair, I should have known they might be alive.”
“They must have been bled as a sacrifice. Why didn’t they die?” I asked him.
He shook his head and said this matter was complicated. He thought that when the villa was deserted, something changed. Afterward, the people here asked a master to help suppress the evil spirits. The result was not good.
He said that the evils came into the bodies of all these people. They were all dead, but the evils kept the bodies alive. So they were now living dead.
“Go quickly, go quickly.” Feng Chunsheng pulled me to leave and said these living dead people would eventually break out of those chains and try to eat us.
But I stopped him. I pointed to the living dead person and said, “Brother Chun, look.”
“What?” he asked me.
I said that that living dead person had accidentally pulled down his clothes, and I could see a tattoo pattern on his chest.
Just like on the people hanging from the gate, the pattern was a weasel in a wedding suit.
This time, Feng Chunsheng had a look and immediately understood. Something happened to this ghost house before. What stories were buried in it?
I shook my head and went out of the tower with them.
Then, looking for other mirrors of The Five Elements Defeat Evils, we found another tower.
On the third floor of that tower were also nine tied-up people, but these were nine women.
Feng Chunsheng immediately said: “This is a Yin and Yang tower.”
“You know that?” I asked him.
He said all the world’s houses were five elements.
That master from the Miao territory used a ghost-suppression method called ‘five elements settle five elements’.
He wanted to use two Yin and Yang towers that were sacrificed by men and women to suppress the souls of the house.
Unfortunately, the master from the Miao territory failed.
“Using Yin and Yang and the five elements, the location was accurate, but it still couldn’t suppress it. This only goes to show that the weasel is very powerful,” he explained.
I figured out why Chen Yuhao frowned when he approached this place.
I told Feng Chunsheng not to bother with all that. Our goal was first to find the five mirrors, and then find Chen Yuhao.
When we found Chen Yuhao, he said to us: “You have the five mirrors. The evil spirit of the ghost house is coming. Now I go in, and you wait here.”
He put his wooden box on the ground and walked in.
“Hey, Brother Yu! You left your Thirteen Methods.” I knew this wooden box was his weapon. If he did not take the wooden box, how would he deal with that weasel?
Feng Chunsheng immediately pulled me back, “Are you nuts? He didn’t take his weapon because he wanted to have a negotiation with the weasel. It’s called sincerity, you know.”
I smiled at him.
When he’d been gone for about five minutes, we heard the laugh of the weasel, “Haha. Huang Erlang requited the favors of the Chen Family. He brought wealth from far away to show his appreciation, but the Chen family was greedy and framed Huang Erlang to death.”
