Chapter 97



When reading the fortune for Jasmine, Gu Zhisang discovered that the fate of the other person in her marriage palace who was connected to her was a little strange.

Compared with her son's more obvious "peach blossom evil", her husband is also infected with the evil aura, with a weak fate and low fortune.

At first, Gu Zhisang thought that Molixiang's husband was affected by her son's affairs just like her.

But now that the "Peach Blossom Evil" has been broken, her son's fate has been rewritten and his destiny has changed again, Gu Zhisang discovered that the truth of the matter is completely opposite to her initial inference.

Both Jasmine and her son were influenced by her husband.

This person is the carrier of Yin Sha.

Obviously, his fortune, future and even health were greatly weakened, but when Gu Zhisang carefully deduced, he found that his fate was full of righteousness and strength, as if he was protected by a very weak layer of righteous power;

Yin and Yang are in opposition, and evil and strength clash.

Jasmine Xiang said slowly, "My husband has been acting weird lately, and his temper is strange. Although he was a bit stubborn before, he was never like he has been these days..."

After thinking for a while, she still couldn't think of any suitable adjectives, so she simply told Gu Zhisang all the strange things that happened to her husband and asked him to analyze it.

Jasmine Fragrance: "I just told the master that my husband used to be in a small gang when he was young and was detained two or three times. Fortunately, he didn't have a serious criminal record, but it's not a good thing anyway.

About a dozen years ago, when he was at his most confused, he joined a group of brothers to form a sworn brotherhood, and then got tattoos. He got tattoos all over his back, and later on his arms. In the middle of summer, when he took off his clothes, his back and arms were covered with black and blue bruises!"

When this matter was mentioned, her face was full of disgust.

When he was young, my husband had a pretty good figure, a bit of muscle, and he looked wild. Now he is old and fat, and even his old tattoos have become bigger...

She had asked her husband to wash it off several times over the years, but each time she made him unhappy.

The other party said that she didn't understand the meaning of tattoos at all, and even went against her and got a tattoo again.

Gu Zhisang looked up at the camera and asked, "What did he get tattooed?"

Jasmine said: "The tattoo on his back is of Guan Yu, holding a big knife in his hand, from the back of his neck to the base of his back. And the tattoo on his arm is a dragon head, anyway, the area is not that large, from the shoulder to the top of the elbow."

As soon as she finished describing it, some viewers who knew a thing or two about tattoos started a discussion forum in the comment section of the live broadcast room, as well as various speculations:

[Oh, it's Guan Gong? It's not good to tattoo it casually. I heard before that you can't tattoo Guan Gong with open eyes, because there will be blood disasters, because Guan Gong with open eyes means he wants to kill people! And you shouldn't tattoo it on your back, because it's said that tattooing on the back "can't bear it", you should tattoo it on the chest! ]

[Hiss… Are there so many taboos about tattoos? If the tattoo is not done well, it can be life-threatening? Could it be that this guy has gained weight and opened Guan Erye's eyes? ]

[Please be careful with your words above, don't make jokes. Tattooing ghosts, gods and Bodhisattvas on your body should be done with caution. Besides, Guan Gong is a serious Bodhisattva and God in Buddhism and Taoism! ]

[I am a tattoo artist. There are indeed many taboos on the Internet, but I want to say that everyone should not worry too much. In my many years of work, I have indeed encountered some tattooed clients who had bad luck, but this is a minority after all, and most people don't feel anything.

Moreover, the back of a person is the flattest and most stable skin on the body. Even if you gain weight and the flesh on other parts of your body becomes loose, the skin on your back is difficult to stretch. If you want to tattoo a large pattern, you must tattoo your entire back. From this point of view, this guy did nothing wrong. My clients who tattooed the full-body Guan Gong also tattooed their entire backs. 】

[Okay, Sangsang hasn't said anything about tattoos yet, so stop making blind guesses! ]

[I understand there are taboos, but like the tattoo artist brothers who commented, a tattoo can't have such a big power, right? Otherwise, wouldn't so many people in Xia Country who have tattoos be in trouble...]

In the Xia Dynasty, there are indeed many taboos about tattoos, such as "dragon over the shoulder", "tiger descending the mountain", "Guan Gong with open eyes", "Buddha in front of the belly", "Old Zhong Kui", "five poisons", "wolf and dog"... and so on.

Each tattoo has corresponding taboos and possible disasters that may occur after tattooing;

At the same time, the details of the tattoos are different, and the meanings they represent are also different.

But some people are always rebellious and curious, and do not believe in metaphysics or ghosts and gods. They insist on getting tattoos even if they are not allowed to, just to see what will happen if they get tattoos.

For example, the husband of 'Jasmine Fragrance' has Guan Gong and a dragon head tattooed all over his back. In fact, he abides by these regulations and does not commit any major taboos.

If the dragon is not on his shoulder, Guan Gong will not open his eyes.

The Guan Erye on his back is holding a Green Dragon Crescent Blade, which means he is the "Guan Gong holding a sword".

In addition, there are different divisions such as "Standing Sword Guan Gong", "Horseback Guan Gong", "Literary Guan Gong" and so on.

It's really hard to tell much usefulness from an ordinary tattoo.

So Gu Zhisang didn't say anything and just continued listening.

The voice of 'Jasmine' continued: "He got the tattoo originally, and it's been more than ten years and I can't do anything to him. But a while ago he suddenly went crazy and ran to the tattoo shop to have the tattoo on his back removed.

I thought he had suddenly changed his temper."

But then she discovered that her husband didn't want to remove his tattoo at all, but inexplicably wanted to get a new tattoo!

According to Moli Xiang's description, her husband went to the tattoo parlor for a second tattoo just over a week after the first tattoo, and got another tattoo on his back where the Guan Gong pattern was originally.

However, due to the nature of tattoos, they cannot be completely washed once and usually need to be washed two or three times.

And every time you wash your tattoo, you have to wait about a month.

People with scar-prone constitution or poor skin tolerance often take longer to recover, and even those who recover quickly may still need twenty days.

After washing, it is generally best not to tattoo repeatedly in the same place within three months.

For someone like 'Jasmine's' husband, who washes his tattoos for the second time in less than ten days and gets a new tattoo the next day, many tattoo artists from all over the world in the live broadcast room are quite puzzled and raise a series of question marks.

[Is this fake? The wound hasn't healed in such a short time, aren't you afraid of infection? ? ]

[If this is true, then I admire this guy, he is a ruthless person! ]

[I don't understand why he is so anxious.]

Jasmine also saw those questioning comments on her device screen and said immediately:

"I definitely didn't make up the story. I don't know what he was thinking! When you remove tattoos, you use laser to penetrate the skin. When he did it for the first time, his back was covered with small red holes. The skin on his back was swollen and raised like a relief! There was bleeding in some places in the first two days. I applied medicine to him every day."

"The dense scabs on my back had just fallen off, and he secretly got a tattoo behind my back. When he got home, his back was unbearable... The tattoo area was blue and red, and it became inflamed and blistered!"

When it comes to this matter, 'Jasmine' is still confused.

During those days, her husband had to lie on the bed with his bare chest, applying medicine and recuperating because of the inflammation and wounds on his back. He was in so much pain that he was grimacing and sweating profusely every day.

But every time I said something to him while applying medicine to him, he would glare at me and get angry, saying "What do you know?" at every turn, asking "Molixiang" to shut up.

This made Jasmine very angry.

Almost a week later, the inflammation and swelling on his back subsided a lot.

If the wound didn't get better or got worse, Jasmine was afraid that he would develop skin cancer and almost forced him to go to the hospital.

Jasmine frowned and said:

"But the new tattoo on his back feels bumpy, and the inflammation has subsided, but when I slept in the same bed with him at night, the sheets on his side were all yellow and smelly when I woke up the next morning, just like his body was leaking oil.

I said he stinks but he can't smell it and he's still angry with me."

"I thought that no matter how free I was or how rich my family was, I couldn't wash his sheets and quilt covers every day, or use a new sheet every day, right? So I slept in a separate bed from him, washed his sheets every two days, and used the same two sheets in rotation."

Anyway, he doesn't mind the dirt or the smell!

The inexplicable yellow stain on the back was the first thing that made Jasmine feel strange.

Gu Zhisang asked: "What else?"

Jasmine said: "Also, his temper has gotten worse recently. To put it bluntly, he is always looking for trouble. He is totally unreasonable! He gets angry and swears at home at the slightest provocation."

"He had been lying in bed at home for several days. I and my helpers were the ones who went to see him in the store. My daughter is a freshman in high school this year and usually has good self-control. She also felt that her father had been too decadent recently and didn't seem to be in good health. One night during dinner, she casually said a few words to him, asking him to take care of his health and not stay at home all day, saying that I had been very hard during those days.

As a result, he smashed the dishes on the spot, pointed at my daughter's nose and scolded her, saying very ugly things, which made my daughter feel so wronged that she cried and went back to her room directly. "

As he spoke of the 'scent of jasmine' he sighed again and again,

"I was wondering if he was possessed by something. How did he become like this after just one or two days? But the small details of his eating and washing were the same. I even went to a nearby temple and bought two talismans to drive away ghosts. I secretly put them on him when he was sleeping at night, but there was no change."

Because of these reasons, Jasmine has always been suspicious, but she is not sure whether there is anything wrong with her husband.

It just so happened that she had also been watching an edited version of the show "Spiritual Matters" and felt that the contestants in it - especially Gu Zhisang - were particularly strong.

With a try-it attitude, she downloaded the live broadcast platform for the first time, registered and entered the room, and unexpectedly she caught up with it by chance!

After saying that, Jasmine looked at the screen and said, "Master, do you think my man is okay?"

Gu Zhisang asked again: "Do you know what he got the second tattoo and why he got it?"

"Why did you get that tattoo? I really don't know."

Jasmine said: "As for the new tattoo, I have seen it several times. It is not as big as the previous Guan Gong tattoo. It is right in the middle of his back. It is a monster's head."

Gu Zhisang: "Monster?"

"Yes. His eyes were wide open, bulging and round, his face was covered with fat, his head and face were covered with hair, and his teeth were bared..." Jasmine Fragrance said as she recalled.

Gu Zhisang: ...

“That should be Zhong Kui.”

According to legend, Zhong Kui is a god who can exorcise ghosts and drive away evil spirits. His ghost-exorcising ability is more powerful than that of ordinary gods.

According to legend, he has a leopard head, round eyes, an iron face and curly beard. His appearance is indeed different from that of ordinary people, like a ghost, and even a little ugly.

Generally speaking, people who do not read folk tales, do not believe in metaphysics, and do not use it to protect their homes would not associate Him with a righteous god when they first see His portrait.

After hearing about the changes in the tattoos of Jasmine's husband and the series of problems that happened to him, Gu Zhisang had already guessed something.

With a complicated expression, she said, "There is indeed something wrong with your husband."

"He suddenly became anxious and hurried, ignoring the inflammation and stinging pain on his skin wound, and asked Zhong Kui to calm his body. This shows that he was very clear about the meaning of the Zhong Kui tattoo and knew that he had encountered evil spirits."

Jasmine exclaimed: "He really has been possessed by evil spirits?!"

Gu Zhisang said confidently: "It is basically certain."

Zhong Kui is a demon warding god, but there are many taboos about his tattoos.

First of all, it can only be tattooed on the back, because the chest has yang fire, and the back is most vulnerable to invasion by yin evil.

Secondly, after you have "invited" Zhong Kui to sit on your back, you cannot allow your back to be squeezed, massaged, stepped on, or hit;

You are not allowed to go to a cemetery in your entire life, and even burning incense for your deceased elders is taboo.

Because for the dead souls living in the cemetery, Zhong Kui is the thing they fear the most. If you rashly go to the cemetery with a tattoo of Zhong Kui, it will disturb the thousands of dead souls inside.

There are also the taboos of less sexual desire, less alcohol and meat... Given all these taboos, plus the fact that the tattoo itself is not very good-looking, not many people would get a tattoo of Zhong Kui.

Even so, Moli Xiang's husband still asked Zhong Kui to calm his body. Isn't this because he is guilty and afraid?

It directly shows that at least he himself is sure that he has encountered a ghost and wants to use the Zhong Kui tattoo to drive away the ghost and ensure safety.

Coupled with his inexplicably changing temper and the yellow stains on his body, Gu Zhisang was even more certain that he was infected with evil spirits.

Jasmine gritted her teeth and said, "Sure enough, my sixth sense was right. He actually encountered such a thing. Master, is the evil spirit in my son influenced by his father?"

"That's right."

When evil spirits affect family members, their fortunes will decline to a certain extent, but it is generally not too dangerous.

People like the son of 'Moli Xiang' who have their families destroyed and dragged down others are rare and extremely unlucky.

But in the final analysis, if his father had not been infected with Yin Sha, he would not have been affected by Yin Sha and these things would not have happened.

Jasmine clenched her hands in anger.

Who could have thought that my son and another innocent girl’s lives were almost ruined because of their closest family members?

"Now that he has discovered it, he is going to get a tattoo to ward off evil spirits. Why didn't he tell me and my family about such a big thing? Why did he hide it from me?!"

This is the most incomprehensible thing about "Jasmine Fragrance".

Gu Zhisang said calmly, "Then we have to ask your husband. Can you ask him to take a photo now? It's hard for me to deduce more details without seeing the current situation."

[If he's in such a hurry to change his tattoo, he must know something. If he's so scared, maybe he's done something wrong...]

[This old man is not very kind. He protected himself well but didn't even tell his family. What will we do if the child's life is really ruined because of him? ]

'Jasmine' knew that even if she called her husband, she would most likely not get the latest selfie because her husband would not take one for her.

But she was too annoyed. She thought about how her son almost got into trouble. If she didn't get to the bottom of this matter, her two children might be affected and suffer a disaster in the future.

Seeing the comments on the screen, she took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards the door with the device:

"My store is less than 500 meters downstairs. He is looking after the store over there. I am going to ask him what immoral thing he did right now. I have to find out for sure!"

As she said this, she went downstairs holding up the phone she was filming.

After leaving the community and crossing a street, "Molixiang" went straight into a tobacco and liquor shop.

It is now the end of October and the weather is chilly. People on the street are wearing long sleeves or a coat.

But the door of the tobacco and liquor store was closed. As soon as Jasmine Fragrance entered, a warm breeze blew in her face, mixed with an indescribable stinky smell.

Although it was not heavy, it made Jasmine frown.

She always smelled this smell when she washed the sheets, which was the smell of her husband's sticky sweat.

My husband is actually turning on the heater and air conditioner?!

The middle-aged man sitting at the cashier counter had a fat face and belly. He was turning on the heater and walking shirtless in the late October weather.

A dragon head can be clearly seen on the right upper arm.

Seeing her husband's slovenly appearance, Jasmine rolled her eyes at him unhappily and said, "Put on some clothes!"

Seeing his wife, the man also frowned: "Why are you here? What are you doing holding your phone to your chest?"

Jasmine was so angry that she didn't bother to pay attention to him. She walked to the cashier counter and patted her husband's naked back:

"Master, look, this is the new tattoo on his back!"

Gu Zhisang took a quick glance and found that the man's back was quite horrible to look at.

He probably only washed the surrounding area the second time, and then re-tattooed the place where he was going to tattoo Zhong Kui based on the remaining color, leaving his skin bumpy.

Coupled with the scabs from previous inflammation and some new small bumps, the entire back looks dirty.

On the skin in the center is a pattern of Zhong Kui's angry eyes, which is projected onto the screen of the live broadcast room through the shaking lens of "Jasmine Fragrance".

Gu Zhisang saw that around the 'Zhong Kui Zhen Shen' pattern, along the blue lines of the tattoo, there were wisps of black foul air invisible to the naked eye, leaking out from the eyes, mouth and surrounding areas of the Zhong Kui pattern.

After just two glances, the horrified middle-aged man pushed Jasmine away and said angrily, "What are you doing? Why are you taking pictures of my tattoos? Who are you taking them for?!"

Jasmine was furious and didn't give in to him at all. She yelled even louder than him, "What are you afraid of? I'm asking you, who are you trying to drive away by tattooing Zhong Kui on your body? Have you committed a crime?"

"What are you talking about? Turn off your phone!"

"Jasmine scent." Gu Zhisang's voice suddenly came from the receiver of the mobile phone, which made the couple, who were in a tense and tense atmosphere, stunned at the same time.

Gu Zhisang said, "Your husband must have been haunted by a vicious ghost. He has a strong evil spirit. I just saw a vague ghost shadow from the flash of resentment."

Under the man's pale face, she spoke calmly:

"It's a very young looking vengeful ghost. It died unjustly and therefore has a lot of resentment. I didn't see its specific appearance clearly because it was the remaining resentment rather than the ghost itself, but your husband should know who it is."

"Because it has been haunting your husband for quite some time."

Jasmine's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at her husband with shock and suspicion in her eyes.

In just a few seconds, countless despicable tragedies had already played out in her mind.

The middle-aged man's dominance was not as strong as before. Due to nervousness and anxiety, his bare back, arms and neck began to sweat.

As I started to sweat, the faint sour smell in the air became stronger.

"Why are you looking at me? I didn't do anything. Don't listen to this guy's nonsense! When did you start believing in these things?"

"Really?" Gu Zhisang said coldly, "If you really don't know anything, why did you get the 'Zhong Kui Zhen Body' tattoo, and why did all the foul air on your body condense into dirt?"

"I think this evil ghost is very powerful, but it must be a ghost that died not long ago. It cannot use its abilities very well. Otherwise, it would not be able to do anything to you after you used Zhong Kui.

It should be formed within two months.”

After a pause, Gu Zhisang said seriously:

"I advise you to resolve this matter as soon as possible. Although you have blocked it with 'Zhong Kui's Body Guarding', it will also arouse its resentment and dissatisfaction, making it stronger and stronger. Sooner or later, your only layer of 'protective film' will be completely punctured."

"Besides, you randomly tattooed ghosts and gods on your body, and the tattoos were not smooth and clean. This is very disrespectful, and these things will also backfire."

The middle-aged man was still pale-faced and sweaty, unwilling to speak. Jasmine, who suddenly fell into deep thought and thought about something, slowly raised her head and glanced at her husband.

Then she said with a stern face: "Master, you said a very young person who had recently died. I remember there was indeed such a person, and he was somewhat related to my husband."

Jasmine is also confused.

My husband is not the kind of person who likes to flirt with other women. Even though he talks about sworn brotherhood and the support of all men, the most outrageous thing he has done in the past few decades is breaking someone's nose during a gang fight.

If he were really asked to kill someone and break the law, Jasmine Fragrance felt that he would not be able to do it.

In addition, the couple runs a family store and for more than a decade, they have rarely taken a vacation except during the holidays. They look after the store either separately or together, so the husband does not have much free time.

If something really happened, there is no way Jasmine would not know about it.

Unless it happened when she was away.

Most of the time, the husband drives for Didi alone to earn some money from the night shift to supplement the family income.

It was during this time when she was driving for Didi that something suddenly came to her mind.

She looked strange and said, "About a month ago, one night I prepared dinner and waited for him to come home to eat. He was late for dinner and I got a little worried. Then I called him and he told me he was at the police station."

The husband didn't explain in detail on the phone, and Jasmine thought he had hit someone while driving or had some kind of accident, so she was extremely worried.

After arriving at the police station, the officer who received her told her not to be nervous and said her husband had not committed any crime.

The reason why he was asked to come to the police station was that he was an eyewitness to a murder case. He had met the deceased and the suspected murderers before, so he was asked to come and understand the situation.

It turned out that the night before, 'Molixiang's' husband received a Didi taxi service order on his mobile phone at around 6pm, went to a vocational school to pick up three passengers, and took them to a designated location.

However, one of the three passengers is now dead.

At present, the other vocational school students involved in the incident have also been taken to the police station, but they all shirked responsibility, saying that it was the dead student who started the bullying.

He also said that they failed to resist because of their great strength.

Anyway, I guess they had colluded with each other before they came, and they are all smooth talkers and have not changed their bad habits.

As a driver who had driven them before and the journey lasted more than half an hour, the police officer thought that Jasmine's husband might have seen something and wanted to see if he could get any useful information from him.

After learning the whole story, Jasmine Xiang finally felt relieved and waited in the police station.

It was not until a few days after she and her husband left the police station that she saw a report on the incident on the local news push. She was deeply moved and mentioned it to her husband.

Thinking about it now, my husband's reaction at that time was indeed a bit strange. It seemed like he was very impatient and didn't want to hear about it.

Could it be that...

Is there something else behind this matter?

Seeing that Jasmine's husband refused to speak, Gu Zhisang asked:

"Do you know the name of the dead child?"

Jasmine nodded and said, "I remember it very clearly. His name was Xu Youhan. When I was waiting for him to come out of the police station, the boy's family was sitting next to me, crying their hearts out."

"Right! I remember his mom was crying and said he just had his birthday yesterday!"

"Molixiang" confirmed the date when she was at the police station, and combined with the fact that the report said "Xu Mouhan, male, 19 years old", the birth date of the deceased became clear.

Gu Zhisang nodded and said, "That's enough."

With the place, name and date of birth, she, who is acting as the chief messenger of the underworld, can accurately identify every dead soul.

The audience behind the screen only saw her fingertips moving twice in the air, but they didn't understand what she was doing.

In fact, in front of her, a gray-black booklet that ordinary people could not see appeared, with the three words "Soul-Catching Book" written on it, and it was filled with a sinister aura.

When the book stopped at a certain page, Gu Zhisang lowered his eyes to take a look, and then said:

"Xu Youhan passed away forty-seven days ago. He is still on the run and has not been returned to the underworld. He is wanted by both the Yin and Yang worlds as a 'red' level ghost."

There was one more thing she didn't say.

The "Book of Souls" clearly reads:

The case has now resulted in two deaths, one serious injury and four minor injuries!
