Mei Gu took out a pen and said with a gloomy expression: "But there are exceptions to everything. If I had no skills, my husband would not go to that kind of place to stay for so long, but for anything, sometimes you want to get something. You need to pay something."

Seeing Meigu's strange eyes, I put my eyes on the pen in her hand and said solemnly, "If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it directly."

Mei Gu nodded, "My ancestors used to earn money by making paintings for others. Although it sounds like a bad street, the skills passed down from ancestors are far from that of artists. Few people know its mystery."

"Are you a Yin painter?" Bai Yang next to him frowned and asked in surprise.

Meigu's eyes lit up when she heard his words, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to know so much."

"I just heard about this profession from others." Bai Yang didn't explain too much.

Yin painting is also a well-known occupation in the Yin industry. Of course, in the 5000-year history of China, many things handed down by the ancestors have completely disappeared in the long river of history.

Although many people can still paint now, they no longer have the charm, just like making paper.

Even Lu Ban, the world knows that Lu Ban is a carpenter, but they don't know that Lu Ban used to be a shady person. Thinking about Lu Ban's skills, there are infinite mysteries.

It's a pity that there are very few who will do so now.

The title of painting Yin does not refer to a certain type of people, but a craft.

Aunt Mei's family has an ancestral craft called painting Yin.

What is painting shade.

Painting refers to painting the sky, the earth, the ancient, the present, the god, the demon, the Buddha, and the demon.

Yin refers to ghosts, ghosts and ghosts.

As for Huayin, it combines the two, and then invites the spirit into the body. He also has a different name, Huayin Ren.

In ancient times, others called this craft tattoo, and now it is called tattoo.

Neither, however, is merely a cover-up.

In fact, after stepping into the yin and yang circle, I got to know many experts in the circle, and some things are closely related to ordinary people.

For example, the paper maker in the four small vaginas.

Paper maker has been around for a long time, and there are many taboos among them. If you are not careful, you will be in great trouble.

Whether it is paper maker, cobbler and Luban, these folk crafts were originally mixed in the yin and yang business.

It's just that dynasties have changed, and with the passage of time from generation to generation, many taboos and crafts of the vulva have been lost, and most of those who have this craft are just for food.

Even if you get involved in the yin and yang business, you will only scratch the surface.

Yin painting and tattoos are of the same origin.

But the only difference is that tattoos are designed to have a good appearance. Most modern young people who learn this craft don't even know what shading is.

After all, not everyone can step into the circle of metaphysics, let alone anyone who steps in can be safe and sound.

Yin painting is actually the predecessor of tattoos, but the functions of the two are very different.

The painting of yin is scribbling. Yin is yin spirit. In simple terms, it is to draw the pattern of yin spirit on people to achieve the purpose of avoiding evil.

Meigu told me about the beginning of Yin painting. It is said that the shamans would smear the juice of trees on their bodies to draw out strange patterns to express their awe of gods and fear of ghosts and gods. , even more exaggerated, those totems are also said to be empowered by the gods.

The earliest history of Yin painting can be traced back to the primitive tribal period. At that time, human beings were insignificant in front of nature and could die at any time.

Under the guidance of tribal shamans, people mixed resin and pyrotechnic ash and smeared various beast patterns on their bodies to protect peace.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, Yin painting reached its peak, and Wu Daozi, the sage of painting, gained enlightenment through it.

However, painting Yin was once listed as a type of punishment, and it was an extremely severe punishment, no less than Ling Chi. Some people who committed the most heinous crimes were unwilling to be tortured by Ling Chi even if they were willing to be tortured by Ling Chi.

Because painting Yin can not only affect one person alone, but also have a great impact on the offspring of the tortured.Whether it is light or heavy, it all depends on the hands of the Yin painter.

The spells that appeared later, such as those drawn by Mao Shan, were also born out of the lineage of painting Yin.

It's just that compared with Huayin, the effect of the spell is much smaller.

Mei Gu said slowly, "After the Tang and Song dynasties, the tattoo industry slowly emerged. Now those young people are getting tattoos on their bodies, just for the sake of looking good, and they have no effect."

Mei Gu looked at Bai Yang with admiration, nodded and said, "But most of the Yin painters now only know a little bit of superficiality. As the saying goes, the intention is to put the brush first, and the painting is done with the intention. These years, I have traveled all over the country, doing There are countless strange and treacherous paintings, such as the illusion of skeletons, the road of yin and yang with beauties in the scenery, ghost mothers holding babies..."

Yin Xing's things are quite evil. When I saw her take out the pen and then took out a plate of dark green ink, I already vaguely guessed some clues in my heart.

Bai Yang said hesitantly, "You want to draw yin on a living person?"

"You are very smart. If I were young, I might have taken you as an apprentice."

Aunt Mei gave us a meaningful look, and said with a sinister smile, "Human beings and ghosts have different paths, as I said just now, everything can only be obtained after paying a price, this is an eternal law. "

"In the early years of Guixian, he was kind to me and my husband. Since he asked you to come here to find me, I won't say anything, but I am just a guide, and I can only use secret methods to guide you. As for After going to the bardo world, life or death depends entirely on destiny."

When I came here, I was already prepared. The bardo world is extremely dangerous, and I must have narrow escapes. Therefore, when Meigu said this, we were very calm and very clear in our hearts.

"I need to draw yin between your eyebrows and the palm of your hand, which is the medium to go to the bardo world. This is a special inscription. That place is a forbidden place for the living. The inscription between the eyebrows is mainly to suppress the anger of the living, otherwise the breath will be exposed. You will run into trouble there, and the inscriptions on your hands can slow down the speed of being corroded by death energy after reaching the bardo."

We suddenly realized that Bai Yang had already planned to go to the bardo world, and there was no other way but to trust Mei Gu.

"But I said that there is a price to be paid. The yin energy contained in this inscription is very heavy. Once painted, the yang energy on the body will also be eroded, so you have to think about it!"

Bai Yang was very resolute, compared to the attack of the snake curse, he said without any hesitation, "No matter what the price is, I will try it!"

Mei Gu could see that Bai Yang was going to the Bardo Realm no matter what, so she didn't say anything more, she nodded and stood up and said, "Okay, come with me."

Mei Gu led us into another room, which was airtight and pitch black.
