Chapter 29 Zodiac Tattoos!
"Records of the Grand Historian" records: "The Yue people are always in the water, so they cut off their hair and write about their bodies, and they are like dragon sons, so they do not see any harm!"
It can be seen from this that as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, people in the south had the custom of tattooing.
However, in ancient times, tattooing technology was backward, and only needles were used to dip ink and prick them on the body bit by bit. The patterns were mostly dragons, snakes, tigers and leopards. After the ink penetrated into the skin, it would gradually turn blue over time, so it was also called "tattoo!"
During the Tang Dynasty, the high-ranking officials and nobles were more romantic and cleverly combined poetry and tattoos.
Someone stabbed Wang Wei's entire book "Wangchuan Collection", some others stabbed Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", and some seeds of infatuation that would stab the names and appearances of lovers on themselves, and a professional tattoo artist appeared, called "tie workers!"
During the Song Dynasty, tattoos became more popular and the technology became more mature, and colorful tattoos appeared, such as in "Water Margin":
‘Ask a master craftsman, and he stabbed the flower embroidery with him. There are always nine dragons on his shoulders, arms and chest. The whole county is full of people, so he is called the Nine-patterned Dragon Shijin.”
There is also the prodigal son Yan Qing, wearing a beautiful flower-embroidered tattoo, the phoenix treads the jade, and the peacock slanted through the flowers, which fascinates Li Shishi, a famous prostitute!’
…………
The second gang leader - the red-faced ghost, born with ugly appearance, was ridiculed by others since childhood. Even his biological parents didn't like him, so his temperament changed drastically and became extremely fierce and cruel. He often fought with others, and he was extremely cruel and could see blood at any time!
After joining the Tiger Gang, he became even more violent. He took revenge on those who had ridiculed him and developed a special habit, which was to force tattoo people. He tattooed various ugly and disgusting patterns on obvious parts, making others become like himself. People do not look like humans, ghosts do not look like ghosts, and then gain a kind of spiritual pleasure!
But, when he is in a better mood, he will also have some normal patterns, such as dragons, tigers, raptors, pine and bamboos!
In recent days, the second head of the company has been in a very good mood!
"What pattern is better to tattoo? There are twelve people in total, which just fits the number of twelve zodiac signs. One person corresponds to one zodiac sign, which is also a fun thing!
You are lucky. Second Master recently developed the pigeon blood tattoo technique, and it's just right to practice your skills. You all go out, don't bother me here!"
...
"Yes, Second Master, please play slowly and please, please welcome the young people if you have something to do!"
After driving his subordinates away, the second gang leader lit a few lights, which were illuminated like daylight. Then he grabbed a pigeon, twisted off his little head, poured the blood into a porcelain jar, mixed it with a small amount of white wine and cinnabar, took out a lot of colorful potions, and started tattooing the mice.
I have to admit that although the second gang leader is ugly, his tattoo skills are first-class. He was holding paint in one hand and holding a silver needle in the other. He kept stabbing the mouse's right arm, as fast as lightning, stable and accurate, and soon a pattern outline appeared...
The mice who drank sweat pills could not feel any pain at all and were still asleep in the bed, just letting them mercy!
More than half an hour later, a blue-gray mouse tattoo was completed, half a foot, vividly showing his timid, greedy and cunning expression to the fullest, but he also had a bit of solemnity and murderous aura, which looked like an ordinary person!
It turns out that the leader of the second gang is not an ordinary hamster, rat crossing the street, or robbing food, but one of the twenty-eight constellations - Xuri Rat!
Xuri Rat, one of the twenty-eight constellations in Chinese mythology, is the fourth constellation of Xuanwu in the north. It is the representative constellation of autumn, also known as the "Tian Festival". Because there are stars such as crying stars, crying stars, and mortars nearby, it is quite ominous!
This second gang leader is vicious and fierce, but he is extremely smart. He has some research on astrological divination. He is considered a talented bad guy!
After half a cup of tea, the mouse's body trembled slightly, as if it gradually recovered its perception, which shows that the sweating drug is just right. If there is too much medicine, it may kill people, and if there is less medicine, it will not have the effect of anesthesia.
"Come!"
"Second Master!"
"Closed in, change one!"
"yes!"
The second gang leader nodded, very satisfied with his work, called in a few subordinates, took the mouse back to the cell, and lifted the mangul out again...
…………
In the following days, all the twelve friends were "poisoned". Perhaps it was because of the will of heaven. The tattoo patterns on each person happened to be closely linked to their personality and destiny, and corresponded to the stars in the sky!
Mouse - Xuri Rat, the tattoo is located on the right arm!
Manniu - Niu Taurus, the tattoo is on the back, and it is a mighty and majestic bullhead!
Tiger's head-tail fire tiger, located in the middle of the chest, showing the demeanor of the king of the mountains!
Little Rabbit - Fang Ritu, located on her slim waist, is cute and playful!
The flower snake-winged fire snake, located on the left arm, is a red snake with sharp fangs and red letters swallowing and vomiting!
Hongxiu - Xingri Horse, located on the right thigh, a maroon horse with its front hooves raised and neighed towards the sky!
Jin Ya - Gui Jinyang, located on the lower abdomen, the most attractive place!
Monkey - The Fire Monkey, located on the left thigh, and performs the position of a monkey stealing peaches!
The pheasant-Anri chicken stands on the right shoulder and is a colorful rooster with a tough body and a majestic weapon!
Dahei - Lou Jingou, on his left shoulder, full of golden body, steel teeth and sharp claws!
Erhan - Shihuozhu, was tattooed on his butt, fat, and cute!
Unlike ordinary clearly visible tattoos, this pattern made of pigeon blood is not visible under normal circumstances. Even if you look closely, you can only see some shallow patterns.
Only when the tattooed person drinks, is angry, or exercises vigorously, which accelerates the blood flow throughout the body, the pattern will be clearly displayed. This kind of tattoo also has many advantages such as never fading and the pattern will not deform as the body grows!
However, using pigeon blood tattoos is also dangerous, which can easily cause redness, swollenness and ulceration of the skin. If hemolysis occurs, it will be even more troublesome, so it is not that tattoo experts dare not use it well!
Xue Yu is no exception. Among the twenty-eight constellations, he occupies the quota of the "Kang Jinlong" and is the second constellation in the east. He is the dragon, and is the guardian of the big horns. He is located at the neck of the Canglong star group. It is the essence of the Canglong, so it is called Kang Jinlong!
Among the twelve zodiac signs, the dragon is the most noble, powerful and mysterious existence, and its tattoo is the most difficult to tattoo and the most particular one!
As the saying goes:
A dragon with a pattern is not only a shoulder, and a dragon with a divine body cannot withstand it!
If the tiger pattern does not go down the mountain, the tiger will go down the mountain and retaliate against the main!
If you don’t have tattoos, open your eyes, open your eyes, open your eyes, kill people,
If you don’t have a tattoo, Tang Sanzang, it’s difficult to fight against each other.
Old Zhong Kui is not tattooed, and he can avoid ghosts and recruit thieves.
...
However, Xue Yu had a tattoo of a dragon over the shoulder, and the dragon body was entrenched on the back, and the dragon head was placed from the left shoulder armor to the left front chest. The two front paws grabbed the left and right arms respectively, and the two rear paws grabbed the thighs. The dragon tail extended from the waist to the left calf, and there were also several balls of wind and clouds tattooed around it!
It would be fine if it was just a shoulder dragon, but it was still a blood evil dragon. Compared with other divine dragons, the blood evil dragon has three major characteristics:
First, red eyes, the eyes of the evil dragon are red, which is fierce and bloodthirsty. Either see other people's blood or your own blood!
Second, the remaining horns, the two dragon horns are incomplete. They are responsible for war, fighting, and wherever the evil dragon goes, there must be corpses everywhere and white bones are like mountains!
Third, the tail of the evil dragon: The tail of the evil dragon is bifurcated, which leads to disasters, uneven winds and waves, and leads to countless disasters!
The Blood Evil Dragon is definitely a big taboo in tattoos. Before tattooing, you must find a master who understands Zhou Yi to see whether the birth date is hard or not. If you can’t withstand the Blood Evil Dragon, sooner or later the tattoo will cause a blood disaster!
On the contrary, if your life is strong enough to withstand this blood evil dragon, the tattooed person will definitely move forward. As soon as he soars into the sky, the blessings, wealth, and longevity can be obtained far more than other dragons tattooed!
Other people's tattoos take at most one or two hours, but Xue Yu's evil dragon tattoo takes three days, which is the most attentive and satisfactory work of the second gang leader.
The blood evil dragon opened its teeth and claws, with an extremely powerful aura. Every scale on its body was extremely delicate, as if it could immediately rise into the air as long as a gust of wind and clouds blew by!
Also, since ancient times, dragons have been a taboo thing. Only the royal family can use dragon patterns, representing supreme imperial power. If others dare to use it, it is a crime of usurpation and will kill the whole family!
Therefore, the folk dragon pattern must be retained, like a dragon rather than a real dragon, and the tattoos made by the second gang leader are the same:
One thing is, the real dragon has five claws, and the evil dragon on Xue Yu's body only has four claws. This is not a real dragon, it can only be called a dragon or a dragon!
Second, there are only blood-red sockets in the eyes of this evil dragon, but no dragon eyes are seen. The standard one has eyes but no beads, which is also an allusion!
It is said that during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a very famous painter named Zhang Sengyou. His painting skills were very superb. Emperor Wu of Liang believed in Buddhism and built many temples, which were all asked Zhang Sengyou to paint.
Once, Zhang Sengyou spent three days painting four giant dragons on the walls of Anle Temple in Jiangsu. The paintings were vivid and vivid, but all of them had no eyes!
The people who visited were dissatisfied and asked to light the dragon's eyes. Zhang Sengyou explained: These dragons have spirituality. Once they light the eyes, they will break through the wall and fly away!
Naturally, people don’t believe it anymore, thinking that he is bragging and keep asking to light the dragon’s eyes!
In desperation, Zhang Sengyou had to lift up his brush and lit his eyes on two of the dragons. He knew that just now, the wind was blowing everywhere in the sky, and lightning and thunder were roaring. The two giant dragons broke through the walls and flew away in the air, and they opened their teeth and claws. On the walls of Anle Temple, there were only two other dragons without finishing touch. This is the story of finishing touching the dragon!
The story is naturally unreliable, but it has been passed down for more than a thousand years and has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Therefore, people in later generations mostly don't have their eyes on their tattoos, paintings, or embroidering dragons, for fear that the flying dragon will really ascend to heaven!
The second gang leader gave Xue Yu a tattoo, which only satisfies his perverted hobby and does not want Xue Yu to really make a fortune. One day, Long Fei Jiuwu will naturally not be willing to give him a finishing touch!
As for whether this blood evil dragon can replenish five claws in the future and click on the eyes, it depends on its luck!
