The night had just fallen, and the neon signs on both sides of Shouhui Street began to flash again, and people came and went on the street.
Vivian walked for a while and saw Boxer shouting and singing on the street corner, and saw Jane from the low-tech community preaching low-tech ideals. She went back to the big house area for a few days and heard that something happened here.
But now it seems that nothing has changed.
After walking through the dilapidated alley, she entered the fish pond, which was noisy and there were many drinkers at the bar.
She glanced around but couldn't find the figure, so she asked Lao Fan who was standing behind the bar: "Where's the thermos cup?"
"I'll go to Caoyuan Street in the morning." Lao Fan responded, serving wine to the guests and said, "I'm going to get tattoos."
"Tattoo? Does he have a tattoo?" Vivian was surprised, then became very interested, "What happened to stimulate him?"
"I was forced." Lao Fan was showered with cold water, "The boy was unwilling, so I made Diao Baodong for him."
"I'll just say it." Vivian spread her hands, but she still found it amusing.
What would Diao Baodong tattoo on that guy, a dead fish or a thermos cup?
It is said that Diao Baodong can tattoo the objects on his back according to the state of mind of the person who writes ink, helping him to break through himself and complete his transformation.
And why the tattoo is like that is often not even clear to the artist himself at first.
So Vivian is really not sure.
She found a seat at the bar and was ready to wait for Gu He to come back and see what was going on.
After their recent adventure in the wilderness, she and Gu He had actually spent quite a lot of time together, but they still couldn't see through each other.
Call him a coward, because there are times when he dares to fight tooth and nail. Call him not a coward, but that's not the case either.
Regardless of whether he does it or not, he has a lot of scruples that always seem to shrink back and he can't let them go no matter what he does.
He has a good side, which is different from his street style; but many times, he is like a tamed sheep, afraid of this and that, most afraid of causing trouble, most eager to escape, and still wants to endure when something goes wrong, a bit like Jianggu District
Those guys.
These are some of Vivian's views on Gu He. When she thought about it carefully, she couldn't help but shake her head.
It can't be changed, it's just his nature. I don't know what Diao Baodong thinks of it.
At the same time, not all of the surrounding drinkers were regular customers, and the men couldn't help but look at this beauty. She was wearing a small coat, a strapless off-shoulder top and a denim skirt, which looked charming and sexy.
The two thin shoulder straps on those slender shoulders seemed to be about to slip off at any time.
After they drank a few glasses of wine, their desire for women became stronger and stronger. They immediately started chatting with her and wanted to buy her a drink.
Vivian didn't refuse, nor did she encourage anyone to drink expensive wine. She just didn't have to spend any money, so she could drink wine constantly.
But the good times didn't last long. Sakai Shukichi came. As soon as he arrived, he shouted that she was an extraordinary person, a voodoo manipulator, something that ordinary people could not get. Now no one messed with her, but they all paid and left.
"All those who cheat to drink are my enemies." Sakai Shukichi shouted, "It is better to drink wine yourself."
Not long after, Old Man Kitano and the strong brother from the Game Gang came.
When they heard about Gu He's tattoo, they were all very interested. Sakai Shukichi drank wine and said happily: "Xiao He is a nice person, and we have a bond, so I'll tattoo a smiley face."
"I think it would be best to pierce his balls." Old Man Kitano tugged at his facial muscles, "He is a bastard after all."
"Keep screaming in pain." Lao Fan didn't have anything nice to say, "Diao Baodong could tattoo his whole back at every turn, and that kid might not be able to bear it anymore and run away. Old ghost Kitano, isn't it a waste if you give him your business card?
.”
"Hey, it's up to him." The old man Kitano took a sip of sake. "Diao Baodong has a different temper than us, and he is a bit cultured. He has a good way of judging people. I may give the wrong business card, but Lao Diao will not tattoo the wrong pattern.
.”
In front of Mr. Kitano, Brother Zhuang would not dare to express random opinions. He would occasionally interject with praise and envy.
…
From morning to afternoon to night, the studio of this tattoo parlor on Caoyuan Street goes by in silence.
Except for going to the bathroom midway, Gu He stayed lying on the floor while Diao Baodong sat next to him and created tattoos.
Because Lorna and Sakai Kao inevitably made noises, they watched less than an hour in the morning before Mr. Asakawa asked them to leave the studio. Afterwards, Lorna went out to buy some comic books and came back to read, while Sakai Kao stayed quietly in the living room.
The sliding door to the studio is still closed all day.
"Lorna, I haven't recovered for so long, could something have happened?" Sakai Kao asked in a very low voice.
"Tch, are you still afraid of Diao Baodong peeling off his skin?" Lorna sat on the sofa and continued reading comics.
Because extraordinary people have sensitive hearing, they could sometimes hear Gu He's painful groan before, but it gradually disappeared.
Only Gu He himself knows about this spiritual journey.
Spending a whole day in this kind of pain allowed him to reflect on his two lives, especially the events of the past three months, the streets, the wilderness, Luozhou, the fish pond...
All kinds of emotions kept churning, almost leading him into a fantasy world, and then pulling him out of the fantasy world.
He seemed to see himself traveling back in time, but that was just an empty imagination that only added to confusion.
He saw himself arriving at a small place in Luozhou, losing everything again, and the sky didn't seem to get any bluer.
His persistence, his depression, his pain, his mediocrity, his numbness, his swing, and his hope.
Every time a needle fell, something seemed to tear open, allowing him to see himself.
Tattooing is a spiritual practice.
Suddenly, Gu He felt a cool feeling on his back. Diao Baodong was applying biogel on it. After a while, he wiped it clean with a cloth. The vicissitudes of his voice was still calm: "The tattoo is done. Get up and let them
Come in too."
Mr. Asakawa nodded and accepted the order, went to push open the sliding paper door of the studio, and called Lorna and Sakai Kao in.
Gu He was in a complicated and unclear mood. He slowly sat up and then stood up. He turned his head to look at his back, but he could only see some messy colors and couldn't see the whole picture, but there were more on his back.
A huge tattoo.
On the other side of the door, Sakai Kao walked in in a hurry. When he saw it, his eyes immediately widened, "Awesome..."
[Cowherd value program progress bar: third level 46%, ↑20%]
Lorna walked in on the back foot and saw the tattoo on his back... Yes, he is indeed Diao Baodong.
She made her attitude clear without criticizing or ridiculing.
[Cowherd value program progress bar: third level 81%, ↑35%]
The tattoo ranged from Gu He's shoulder blade to the keel of the tail. It was a colorful human-like monkey figure, wearing gorgeous armor, wearing a purple gold crown with phoenix wings, a flying cape, and waving a wave in his hand.
A huge golden stick.
It was a classical figure, but there were nerve and blood threads looming in some places, and there were some code symbols engraved on the armor.
And because Gu He was flexing his muscles that had been lying down for a long time, the muscles on his back were undulating, and the tattoo seemed to come to life.
His eyes widened with anger and his spirit was high.
At this time, Mr. Asakawa pushed a moving floor mirror from the wall so that Gu He could see clearly.
Gu He looked back and was suddenly startled. This, this seemed to be...
This world was very similar to the Earth before the Seventh Age. There are stories about King Arthur and stories about the Monkey King. These classic stories of the old world are still circulating in this era.
Dongtu culture is an important part of Liuguang City's culture, and the Monkey King is a figure that the Street Dog Club is passionate about.
Sakai Kana has studied kabuki and has been exposed to various folk tales, and you can tell at a glance.
"He Sang, this tattoo of yours is so handsome." She took a deep breath and sighed. She didn't want to blink as she looked at it. She stretched out her hand to touch it, but stopped, "You are so powerful and strong. Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, the Great Sage, defeated the Buddha in a fight."
!”
No matter which Yakuza bathhouse he walks into, He Sang's tattoos will impress everyone.
"That's not a battle to defeat the Buddha." Diao Baodong said at this time, "That's the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, just the Great Sage Equaling Heaven."
"It's pretty good." Lorna laughed and went up to touch it. His thermos cup now looks like a golden hoop.
Gu He looked at the Monkey King on his back, and suddenly realized that the golden cudgel seemed to have the image of reproduction. When he blew his hair, he turned into a monkey, and the monkey descended from the monkey. They all seemed to have the image of reproduction... The seventy-two transformations seemed to match well.
Large group…
Moreover, the Monkey King is not afraid of heaven or earth, and he is always full of strong vitality.
Perhaps there is no child who doesn't like the Great Sage. He remembered that he used to like him so much when he was a child.
He flipped through a comic book about Journey to the West, read it again and again, imitated it, and shouted.
When I was a teenager, I would still be moved by the story of the Great Sage.
It turns out that I was once like that...
Since when have you been trapped under Wuzhi Mountain...
Suddenly, Gu He also felt that this tattoo was so beautiful. It was not the Victorious Buddha, but the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.
[Holy water energy: 25%, ↑8%]
He was startled again. This was really an unexpected gain. It increased by 8%. How did he feel about his vitality?
Not only feel it from others, but also feel it from yourself. This seems to be more enjoyable...
But when he came back to his senses, Monkey King? Him!?
Gu He had never thought that Diao Baodong would tattoo him with such a powerful and domineering design.
Monkey King, the most rebellious guy in the East who wants to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
"The tattoo is done." Diao Baodong said, turned around and walked away, "If you don't like it, you can wash it off. But this is what I see from you. Don't look at it with your eyes, look with your heart, go
Go back and practice."
Mr. Asakawa nodded to them and followed the master, leaving the guests alone for a while before leaving.
"That's great." Sakai Kao was still praising her. After seeing Lorna touch it several times, she dared to reach out and touch it.
This Monkey King was really shocking, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared when she touched it, and she seemed to feel warm blood.
Sakai Kao's hand was immediately pushed away by Lorna, "You just got the tattoo, why did you touch it? It broke."
Gu He remained silent and didn't speak. He put on his T-shirt again and the sportswear with the word "东TU" printed on it. He shook his shoulders. There was nothing unnatural about his back, but he felt something was a little extra.
Or maybe it was his own thing.
"You should just walk out topless," Lorna laughed, "and let everyone on the street see it."
"Yes, He Sang, you are so handsome, you should let everyone know." Sakai Kao was a little excited.
[Cowherd value program progress bar: third level 91%, ↑10%]
The value of Cowherd is still rising, and I don’t know who contributed to it.
"Well, this tattoo is for attending a party..." Gu He said, not wanting to have such a reputation. "Don't spread rumors. I don't even want to show everyone the excitement when I return to the fish pond. Maybe I won't have to go there then."
Where is the bathhouse?"
"You are so boring sometimes." Lorna said angrily, "Why did Lao Fan look down on you this morning? Let him see."
"Let Xiuji and the others take a look," Sakai Huaqing hurriedly advised, "This is what Diao Baodong thinks of you, He Sang..."
Gu He waved his hand, walked across the tatami floor, and left outside the tattoo parlor. Luozhou, he will go to Luozhou in a while...
There seemed to be something jumping between the skin and flesh, and the Great Sage on his back was there.
And the Great Sage deep in his heart seemed to be roaring.
Returning to the Great Sage Qitian from the battle against the Buddha, this monkey is your practice.
