Changing his name was only the first step, Xu You found a frost to give Shanzong a simple disguise, not seeking a makeover, at least to make his personal characteristics look less obvious.

After taking a closer look, he pursed his lips and smiled: "Shanlangjun's eyebrows and sideburns are the most heroic and eye-catching. If you want to be unknown, you must first remove the eyebrows of the sky and paint them to make it look a little ordinary. ”

There is a poem in "Chu Ci • Big Move" "Pink and white and black, Shi Fangzezhi", which shows that the joy of the girl's thrush has already appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In the Wei and Jin dynasties, Dai Mei has become commonplace, from noble ladies to maidservants, who go out at home and must modify their eyebrows.

Shan Zong said worriedly: "Could Dai Mei be too feminine?" ”

"Jiangdong is angry, and men are beautiful with femininity! Forgive the little woman for being bold, although Shan Langjun's appearance is handsome, but it is not feminine, if you paint the lack of moon or caress the cloud eyebrows, you will definitely be able to compete with Zidu and Song Yu for a while. ”

Shan Zong smiled bitterly: "Don't make fun of me, just my honor, go out at night, and let the child stop crying." ”

Xu You made a small suggestion and said: "Daimei can't last, it will spread out when it encounters water, and it has to be painted every day, and when it comes to a crisis, I'm afraid it's too late...... Can I get a tattoo? ”

Regarding tattoos, the ancients were no strangers, and it was recorded in the "Historical Records" that the people of the ancient Yue Kingdom "broke their hair and tattoos" as the belief of the clan. Later, it gradually developed into a punishment of scarf, first with a knife to carve out the handwriting, and then with ink to suffocate it, the ink marks can even enter the bones, and people will not die.

Frost leaned his head, frowned and thought, his side face seemed to be glowing with jade light, which was very good-looking, and said, "Does Xiaolang want to give Shanlang Jun a face?" ”

The black mask is often aimed at fugitive slaves and thieves, and the words "escape" or "robbery" are engraved, which does little physical harm, but can be compared to palace punishment for psychological torture and humiliation.

Shan Zong shrunk his shoulders and looked at Xu You pitifully, Xu You smiled and said, "Noodles? It's okay, I want to think about it, what should I carve? Why don't you carve two geese, and call you geese? ”

The allusion of the wild goose capital comes from the end of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhu Jin of Yunzhou recruited hundreds of brave and strong men to enlist in the army. In order to deal with him, Zhu Wen also selected elite dead soldiers, and the words "Luoyandu" were used on his face to deal with Zhu Jin, which was also an interesting anecdote.

Shan Zong grinned, his cheeks ached for no reason, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, let the little lady do it, as long as you can hide it from other people's eyes, not to mention the black face, even if you cut your feet, I also agreed!" ”

"Parents who suffer from the body and skin, it is not advisable to cut off their faces and feet, and sooner or later these inhumane corporal punishments will be abolished!" Xu You smiled and said, "It's just that you are in a hurry, just tattoo two eyebrows, and walk on frost, can you do it?" ”

"Yes! When I was in Qingle Building, if there was a servant girl with good color and good makeup, the master would often remove her eyebrows, dig out the flesh with a knife, and then chisel out the shape on the bones, and then fill it with copper and blue. After three days of exposure, the copper blue and skin and flesh condensed, and the eyebrows were like ghosts, and I couldn't bear to see it! ”

What Lu Shuang said casually was in Xu You's ears, but he couldn't help but feel a little more pity. Although there is no shortage of strange women in Qinglou, most of them rise and fall with the waves, and they have long had no sense of shame, and what they see and hear is the ugliest side of the world, and they have become cold-blooded and ruthless.

"Don't be so troublesome, come, I'll teach you!" Xu You had countless girlfriends in his previous life, and he had seen a lot of cosmetics and knew little, but he still knew the process of tattooing his eyebrows, and said, "Take the needle!" ”

"Needle?"

"Yes, sewing needles!"

The use of needle pricking instead of knife and saw to blacken the face was something that only happened after the Liang Dynasty, and it was extended to the Zhao and Song dynasties that the knife and saw were completely abandoned, and all the people committed the crime of using acupuncture instead. As for the needle tattooing, the Tang Dynasty began to be folk, and even the craftsmen who made a living from the thorns appeared, and the street rangers were all regular customers, animals, people, flowers and trees, Buddha statues, words, what novel tattoos, compared with later generations, there were no more.

Born in the Chu State, she naturally hadn't heard of this, and she didn't understand what a small sewing needle could do, but she didn't say much and hurriedly went back to the house to get it. After a while, he came in with a small wooden box, followed by the autumn equinox and winter solstice, which were obviously bustling.

Open the wooden box, it is divided into two layers, exquisite workmanship, reasonable layout, a small space with a slender and long eyebrow pencil, more than a dozen rouge beans, dozens of dollars of incense powder, and a pebble-sized ink-colored block, I don't know what it is used for, there are all kinds of others, no less than a dozen kinds of cosmetics, it can be called a dazzling array.

Xu You glanced at it and said strangely: "This is a fine willow pen, I heard that it is the best to write small characters, and you actually use it to decorate your eyebrows...... And this, what is it? ”

He picked up the inky lump, put it to his nose and sniffed it, it didn't smell anything special. Lu Shuang smiled: "This is a set of incense stones, and it is also Qingluodai, put it in water and grind it, and moisten it with a fine willow pen, you can directly color it on the eyebrows." ”

It turned out to be thrush ink, Xu You suddenly, Dai Mei to use ink, that is, a black mineral, known as Shi Dai, Qing Dai, Mo Dan, etc., men used to write, women used to Dai Mei, so it is also called thrush ink. When used, it is put into a special inkstone and ground into powder, and then mixed with water for use. Unexpectedly, there have been finished products to replace graphite in Chu State, and there is no need to grind and crush them directly, just transfer water!

"Incense Stone...... Good name! ”

Waiting for the frost to mix the incense stone with water, the ink that spreads out is not too dark, between green and black. Xu You took out the sewing needle, lit the candle flame to extinguish the poison, motioned to the frost to dip the ink with a fine willow pen, and then lightly touched the corner of Shanzong's eyebrows, and the tip of the needle immediately pierced the ink spot.

Blood seeped out, and ink marks were immediately imprinted on the surface of the skin, making them clearly visible. Xu You just gave a demonstration to the frost, put the needle in her hand, and said: "Come like this, go to his Tianmei first, and then use the needle to prick out the eyebrow shape little by little, whether it is the lack of the moon, or the clouds, or the hills and the beads." Just make his face softer and less outstanding! ”

Lu Shuang looked at Xu You in surprise and said, "Xiaolang, how do you know so much?" This is the first time I've seen this kind of eyebrow tattoo. ”

"In fact, it is no different from black noodles, which must be engraved first and then dyed with ink, but the damage to people is too great. If you use a needle, you can reduce unnecessary damage, but the tip of the needle is too thin to withstand the ink, so you need to dye it first and then engrave it. ”

The next thing was handed over to Lu Shuang, and when Xu You went out, he ordered: "By the way, don't call Shanlangjun in the future, forget the name of Shanzong, he is now called Shocking!" ”

Leaving the room, Dong Solstice reported something and said, "Lang Jun, do you remember the monk you asked me to visit Dade Temple before?" ”

"Remember, what, found out his identity?"

"Well, I found a clever eyeliner and infiltrated the construction site of Dade Temple to work, and successively sent back some true and false information. Because most of them are relatively trivial, I didn't report to Xiaolang in time, but yesterday I sent another piece of information, and I finally had a general understanding of the monk's origin. ”

"Tell me about it!"

"His name is Zhu Wuxuan, one of Zhu Fayan's disciples, usually very low-key, dressed in white, rarely shows his face, rarely participates in debates, and does not know the depth of Buddhist cultivation."

"No leaks?"

Buddhism's original Wuzong to Zhu Daorong as a respect, the current living Taoist generation of the high monks are not many, followed by the law generation, this time sent to the Qiantang abbot Dade Temple is Zhu Daorong's big disciple Zhu Fayan. Then there is the wordless generation, Zhu Wuxian can become a personal disciple of Zhu Fayan, there must be something outstanding, and it will not be as simple as said in the intelligence.

"Leakage in the Buddhist scriptures means trouble, and leakage is the method of non-action. Do you know what the law of non-action means? ”

"I don't know!"

Every time Dong Zhi talks to Xu You, he can learn a lot of truths from it, listen carefully, ask seriously, and say: "Please Xiaolang for advice!" "All the laws of non-action, such as emptiness and emptiness, such as the mind does not move, ten thousand laws are in it. This is a higher realm than the Fa Wei, Zhu Fayan gave his disciples such a Dharma name, and the expectations and high hopes for him in his heart can be imagined! ”

Dong Zhi realized: "Xiaolang is saying that Zhu Wuxian is in Tao Hui? ”

"It should be about the same, but the problem is that he is already a disciple of Zhu Fayan and has been appreciated by his master, so why should he be cautious of Tao Hui?"

Dong Solstice became excited and said, "He has enemies, or rather, he has opponents!" ”

"Exactly! The opponent's power is estimated to be far above him, so it is necessary to avoid its edge and achieve the goal of paralyzing the opponent. Xu You smiled: "Do you know what to do next?" ”

"Understood!"

Seeing that the winter solstice was still not leaving, Xu You said with concern: "Is there anything else?" ”

"Hmm...... This ...... "Winter Solstice twisted and pinched, refusing to say it directly, which is very different from her usual personality.

Xu You was surprised in his heart and said, "Say, did you make a mistake?" It doesn't matter, as I said before, you are allowed to make mistakes, and you can't do it overnight. ”

"No, no, absolutely no mistakes!" Dong Solstice bit his lip and said, "Yes, yes...... I don't have any money......"

"Out of money?"

Xu You blinked his eyes and said, "Didn't you get 100,000 yuan, and it was spent so quickly?" ”

Winter Solstice didn't dare to reply.

Xu You smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous, it's not that you are blamed for spending money, but I'm just curious about where it went?" ”

"I have a few people, a little beggar in the streets, a waiter in a wine shop, and a ranger who makes trouble. These are all okay, mainly because it took a lot of money to arrange people for Tang Zhiyi's subordinates......"

Cultivating the intelligence network costs money, Xu You knows it, but he didn't expect that it was just starting out, and the cost would be so big, and said: "This money was originally for you to use, and you can figure it out in your own heart where it is used." ”

"I'm keeping accounts, Xiaolang can let Sister Shuang check the accounts......"

Xu You shook his head and said, "I entrust you with the most important thing, can't I trust your loyalty?" You don't need to check the accounts, and you don't need to keep them in the future, and when you go back, you will destroy the previous account books immediately, so as not to leave a trace. ”

"No!"

Listening to Xu You's words, Dong Solstice almost cried, lowered his head, and didn't let him find anything unusual, and he couldn't wait to immediately cultivate an intelligence network comparable to the Boat Pavilion, so that Xiao Lang would not be blinded in the future.

"In this way, I'll give you another 50,000 yuan to withdraw it from the frost and support it for a while."

Xu You put his hands to his mouth, sighed hotly, and said, "After this winter, we should have money!" ”
