Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 49 Tattoos
"Ah! You're so disgusting, I can't even ask for my clothes." Jiang Chun complained all the way to Zhao Bo's house, and didn't intend to stop.

"Okay, if it wasn't for Brother Zhong who came up with this trick, we might really be more confused than this yellow man, and we won't be able to go home until next year." Zhao Xinwei helped smooth things over with a smile on his face. With a simple smile, "But to be honest, brother, it's not easy for you to be a child at this age."

I said to myself, I just wanted to praise you a few words, which pot you are not opening and which pot you are lifting.I don't bother with them either, I'm going to sleep in bed.

"See if I didn't take away your childish body that day, hum!" Jiang Chun crawled to my side, looking at me lustfully.

Zhou Peng and the others saw it and hurried out.Zhou Peng also looked at me wretchedly, and closed the door behind him.

I really don’t know what to say about these bad friends.

I leaned to the side, keeping a certain distance from Jiang Chun, and without looking at her expression, I pulled the quilt and fell asleep.

When I woke up, I didn't know when Jiang Chun got into my bed, so I got out of bed with a look of disgust.In the past few days, I basically sleep with my clothes on, and I don't recover from fatigue at all.

"Get up, still sleeping, can we go back to Harbin?" Hearing my shout, Jiang Chun was about to get up.

After breakfast, the big guy said goodbye to Aunt Zhao, saying that he would definitely come to see her when he had time.She heard us say this and started crying again.Zhao's father quickly persuaded the aunt, saying that she was crying and crying.

Looking at the village that is gradually going away outside the window, I feel infinite emotion in my heart.Someday, if I die, will my friends visit me as they do now?

After crossing the Songhua River Highway Bridge, I thought how quickly the five-day holiday passed.Not only did he not play anything, but he also injured himself from playing.

However, when I fought the five ghosts last time, how did I recover in an instant?Looking at my broken nails, I didn't even dare to touch the water these two days, it was really a pain.

As soon as I entered the dormitory, Zhou Peng asked everyone to go to eat. I said that I wanted to take a good rest, and I didn't sleep well these days.Zhou Peng looked at me with a strange expression, and said that I haven't had a good rest yet, and I am accompanied by beautiful women every day, so I can't sleep well?

I didn't bother to argue with him, so I hurriedly took out my cell phone and dialed Jiang Shan's cell phone number.

"How are you doing recently?" I asked her with a smile.

"What are you doing, you're so weird." When Jiang Shan was speaking, she could hear the voice of Uncle Benshan playing on the TV over there, and it seemed that he should be at home.

"It's okay, I'll just ask you how you are. By the way, is Aunt Jiang at home?"

"My mother just went out, why are you looking for her?"

"I want to get a tattoo. I went to Liaoning this time and hurt myself again." Just after finishing speaking, Jiang Shan complained for a while, saying why I was so careless, and then asked me to wait a while and call her mother. Give me a call.

After hanging up the phone, I quickly undressed and climbed into bed.

"Thirteen, are you all back?" Nima came in from the outside, saw gauze wrapped around my shoulders, came over in a panic and asked what was going on.

"I won't tell you, I'm too sleepy, you can ask them later." I pulled the quilt and fell asleep right away.

When Jiang Shan called again, it was already around 7 o'clock in the evening.She told me that Jiang Nianqing had time tomorrow, and she sent some pictures on QQ for me to choose.

I jumped out of bed with the phone in my hand and turned on the computer. I saw the photos sent by Jiang Shan and rubbed my eyes to read them one by one.

"I said, isn't there a smaller one? I'm really afraid of pain." Looking at the majestic and majestic patterns of each pattern, I began to retreat in my heart.

Let’s not talk about whether this thing works or not, at least it’s bluffing.

"The stronger the mana of the pattern, the greater the power. The finer the pattern, the better it can protect your spirit body. This is quite a kind of baptism, which will make you reborn." Jiang Shan said.

I said to myself, I don't know if it can be reborn, but it must be a new skin.

"I said, are you a man or not? Hurry up."

"Then let's take this one. The injury on my left arm is not healed yet. Let's tattoo the right side first." After discussing the pattern with Jiang Shan, we will start work tomorrow, which is equivalent to a small plastic surgery.

After hanging up the phone, I started touching my ears, not knowing why my ears recovered so quickly.Such thick screws go through directly, and it will be fine in a few days.

I turned my head and looked at Nima's ears and asked, "Nima? What happened to your ears?" I said to him.

"Oh, what about this?" He touched his ears, "This needs to be expanded bit by bit with auxiliary tools."

I walked up to him and took a closer look. It turned out that his ears and lips were not very big, they were stretched out abruptly.

"Is this your Buddhist custom, or is it?" I looked at him seriously, feeling an inexplicable pain in my body.

"No, I like punk music, punk decoration." His answer left me speechless.He put down the scriptures in his hand, and thought for a while, "I think this can bring us closer to the gods, haha."

I don't know if he is getting closer to the gods, but I just feel that there is a kind of pain that hurts even looking at it.

After seeing his horrific art, sat back and googled the history of the stuff.Suddenly, I discovered that expanding ears is also called piercing.Like tattoos, they became popular in ancient tribes, most of which are worship of gods.

But in China, tattoos also have another explanation.In ancient times, it was used to punish some people who committed serious crimes.The role of leaving a mark on the prisoner's face to warn others.For example, Lin Chong, the leopard head described in the Water Margin, was tattooed on his face, also called the golden seal, which was the tattoo punishment at that time.

In short, it would be better if I didn't tattoo my face. I closed the computer and recalled that the female ghost I caught earlier was still in the bag.Just in time, tomorrow I will ask Jiang Nianqing how to deal with her.

Water has its source and trees have roots. When everything happens, it must have its roots. This is what Buddhism says, karma.

Jiang Nianqing looked at the ink fountain in my hand, and nodded to me in satisfaction, but I didn't dare to look at her, first of all, her temper was really irritable; What's more, she has four pupils!

"This trick was taught by Zhang Muzhen, right? I don't need you to tell me. Although his self-created spell is very powerful, it has a lot of side effects."

Jiang Nianqing looked at my hand holding the ink fountain, shook his head, then took the ink fountain, looked at it carefully, and thought for a while before putting it on the coffee table.

"I have an idea, but it's a bit wicked. I'd better contact Marvin first, he should have a better idea. Let's stop talking nonsense and get to the point quickly. Take off your shirt first, hurry up!" she said How dare I not listen, I hurriedly took off my white coat.

I glanced at Jiang Shan and asked her in a low voice how painful the tattoo was.She gave me a blank look and didn't say a word, just helping her mother prepare the tools.

Jiang Nianqing first worshiped in front of two Buddha statues. I didn't know which god she was worshiping, so I turned around and asked Jiang Shan. She told me that it was "A Nu Shou Dai" and "A Nu Shou Na". Father Sun and Mother Moon.

I was still at a loss after listening, but the thing in front of me was the scariest.Jiang Nianqing pulled out two awl-like objects, one large and one small, from the red cloth in front of the statue.It's just that the handle is very long. I remember checking it yesterday. This is the earliest tattoo method, hand acupuncture.

Jiang Nianqing first glanced at the pattern on the computer, then turned to look at me, suddenly his eyes rolled, and the other two pupils appeared, he was so frightened that he peed his pants.

I closed my eyes and stopped staring at her, then turned to look at Jiang Shan, who was making do with me with a smirk on her face.I grabbed her hand, hoping it wouldn't hurt.

Jiang Nianqing first aimed his left hand at my shoulder, then picked up the ink-stained hand needle with his right hand, moved the needle a little higher, and placed it on the tiger's mouth of his left hand. It was tilted at about 45 degrees. It was abrupt. It dug into my skin.

I didn't look carefully just now, but after getting closer, I realized that the position of the head of the hand needle is a combination of densely packed fine needles.As the needle penetrated, I immediately picked it up again, and I watched the ink get into my pierced skin.

"How is it? Can you still get used to it?" Jiang Nianqing asked.

"It's okay." I don't know if I'm duplicity. Although this kind of pain is not as good as when the ribs are broken, it's still uncomfortable.

"Then I'm officially starting." Before Jiang Nianqing finished speaking, he began to move the needle in his hand quickly, leaving dense pinholes on my skin.

"Comrade Jiang Shan, I didn't know your mother had such quick hands, I admire her." I said with a trembling grin.

Jiang Shan didn't pay attention to me, and directly plugged an earphone into my ear. I couldn't understand what was singing in the earphone, but the process of thinking also allowed me to relax a little.

"It's a song by Green Day, isn't it not bad?" Jiang Shan said.

I admire this punk rock in my ears, and my eyes look at my phone from time to time. I really hope that something big will happen at this time and send me away.

It's almost twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the inking is not over yet.Jiang Nianqing's hand needles ranged from thin to thick, from round to flat, torturing my shoulder non-stop.

"Okay, it's over." After finishing speaking, let Jiang Shan clean up my tattoo.She didn't know what kind of pot of water she took, and started to wipe it.It feels cool, but refreshing.

"The pattern you chose is pretty nice, it's Candle Dragon." When Jiang Shan helped me clean up the tattoo, she didn't stop talking.

"It's Zhulong. It's said that he and Zhulong are destined." Jiang Nianqing also echoed, taking off his gloves. "Zhulong, according to legend, is the guardian of the ghost kingdom. Later, he was invited to the underworld by Emperor Fengdu to defend against evil ghosts in the underworld and prevent them from causing harm to the world."

"Oh, so that's the case. By the way, auntie, what are your eyes?" I asked suspiciously, and she suddenly moved her face in front of me so that I could see clearly.

There are two pupils on one eyeball, one pupil is normal brown; the other pupil is black, that kind of deep black.

"Natural, brown, can see all kinds of human beings, good, evil and suffering; black, can see ghosts, demons, ghosts and ghosts. Using it at the same time, you can observe the past and gain insight into the future. But I have never met the future, or I don't want to know at all. " Jiang Nianqing said, turning his eyes back to normal.

She turned around to sort out the colors and other things on the coffee table, then stopped and said to me: "I know you have a lot of questions, because I can see your past. But remember, don't lose yourself."

Looking at Jiang Nianqing talking seriously, it seems that she is different from her before.Although she was still the crazy woman who loved to smoke, she was very calm now, just smoking silently.This scene reminds me of my mother.

"It's finished, look in the mirror first, I'm going to wrap it in gauze later, so you won't be able to see it." Jiang Shan got up and went to the bathroom after finishing speaking.

Standing in front of the mirror, looking at the lifelike tattoos on the shoulders, I started to feel a little excited, but more regretful.What is exciting is that I look very fierce, and I can use it to scare people and mix with society in the future.

What I regret is that now I have really got rid of the identity of a normal student and stepped into the society. Who will I meet and what will happen to me?

Inside the mirror, there was a human head and a dragon body, all red.The candle dragon on my shoulder is calling the wind and the rain.

I quickly started to practice my Qi and observe my words and expressions.Sure enough, on the tattoo, the sharp edge of the tattoo is revealed, with a faint golden light. I wonder if it can protect me in the future as I practice Taoism.

"Okay, don't be stinky, I'll wrap it up for you, remember not to get wet, and don't take it off." After speaking, Jiang Shan began to wrap it up for me.

Condescending, the scenery on her chest is fully revealed.I can't help but be fascinated by it, she is not only beautiful with tattoos!

"Pa", an empty cigarette case flew from behind, "I'm still here, so I dare to take advantage of my girl blatantly." Jiang Nianqing's tone was not very angry, I scratched my head embarrassedly and said that I was using An artistic eye appreciates tattoos.

"Be careful, I've been staring at you all the time!" After speaking, his eyes began to roll around, which was very scary.

Jiang Shan smiled and said nothing, and the bandage was very gentle.

"Hello? I knew you weren't asleep at this point. Take the time to come to my house in the past two days. I have something to tell you. What's the matter? It's a terrible thing. Don't worry about it, just come. Okay, hang up." I sat on the sofa and watched Jiang Nianqing hang up the phone.

She raised her head and said to me: "I called Marvin. He will come over in the next few days. You can sleep on the sofa tonight. I will keep an eye on you." After that, she walked in slowly. bedroom.

"Your mother, do you often play with your eyes like this?"

"No, she rarely does this. She never mentioned this to outsiders before, and I'm a little confused." Jiang Shan went to take a bath after finishing speaking.

After sleeping all day, I couldn't fall asleep, so I simply sat up and turned around in the living room.Walking to a bookshelf, I saw a lot of classics and other books on it.I seldom read books, especially such literary masterpieces.

My gaze finally stopped on an inconspicuous book, strangely enough, it didn't have a title.He reached out to open the glass door and pulled out the book from inside.

The black leather cover feels very textured.Opening the book, it turned out to be a very strange language, which I couldn't understand at all.I flipped through a few pages and found a simple handwritten note.

"Taklimakan?" I recalled the name carefully, it seems to be in XJ, why is there a question mark beside it?

I was puzzled, and then looked down, "one-eyed", "minority", "desert ghost country", a bunch of strange words, impacting my pituitary gland, constantly releasing adrenaline.

After a rough estimate, is it possible that the ghost country is in XJ?However, does this ghost country have any connection with the underworld I went to before?
"What are you looking at?" Jiang Shan came over and looked at who was holding in my hand, her expression became tense.Immediately snatched the book in my hand and stuffed it back to its original position.

"This is my mother's book. I won't let you touch it. Don't play it safe." She carefully tried to close the glass door, paused for a moment, then flipped through the book and handed it to me.

"If you can't sleep, just read this. It's my favorite book, but it's just a book that's not boring for you." Jiang Shan started to rub her hair again.

"Why doesn't your mother let you read that book? I can't understand what's in it, so why worry?" I took the book and sat back on the sofa, waiting for Jiang Shan's answer.

"It's in Ukrainian. It's a story about an explorer in the Soviet Union who went to XJ to explore. It mentioned ghost country and so on. Although there are clues and evidence to prove the existence of ghost country, no one has found it. There is another explanation , that is, the people who were found were all dead."

　Already 20 words, although no one read it, I still want to say thank you for your support
