In my humble tattoo shop, rules are more important than life.
1. If you don't get tattoos of gods and Buddhas, it's easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away.
2. If the dead are not tattooed, their ghosts will haunt them forever.
Third, and the most important one - never tattoo the pattern specified by "it".
But that night, the soaked woman cried and begged me to tattoo a "Ghost Messenger's Death Picture" to save her life. I made an exception, and the moment the cinnabar mixed with the blood from my fingertips penetrated her skin, I heard the sound of chains mopping the floor.
My name is Lin Mo, and I am the last descendant of the "Yinwen" lineage. I can embroider demons, monsters, gods, Buddhas and ghosts into the human body, and use their power to suppress evil spirits. But every pattern has a corresponding price to pay - either lifespan or close relatives. This is called "five disadvantages and three disadvantages".
I thought I could abide by the rules and live in this world, until my brother became obsessed with evil spirits because of the "Zhong Kui" tattoo I had, and the girl I loved was haunted by hundreds of ghosts because of her "yin and yang eyes"... Only then did I realize that the sound of chains I heard that night was not someone else, but myself.
An evil god who should have died a hundred years ago is peering at the world through countless "shadow patterns" designated by him. And the taboo totem on my chest left by my ancestor and never dared to be shown to others is his only key.
When the door to the underworld is slowly pushed open, will I use this body to become the savior, or will I... Fall into the path of Shura, which is more terrifying than ghosts?
