Chapter 136: The Tattoo of the Bald Head
I saw the position of the biceps brachii muscle in the right arm of the bald head, there were four characters from the Taihao period, each of which was the same size, that is, the size of a coin, and the four characters were arranged vertically on his right arm.
I wondered why he hadn't talked about it before. When were these four Taihao period characters tattooed? Why are there four strange characters from the Taihao period tattooed on the body...... My questions popped up all the way out.
The bald man's answer was simple, saying that he didn't look like tattoos at first, probably because he was too nervous, so he forgot about it at all. Later, I saw more and more words in the Taihao period, so the bald head was associated with his tattoo, but after we entered here, we have been in a state of escape, so the bald head has no energy and time to think about it. In the bald head's own words, "I thought about this as soon as the inspiration came." ”
As for the tattoo on his right arm, it was tattooed on his body by the bald master back then. Because the time is too long, the bald head can't remember the specific time, but he said that the tattoo was tattooed on his body by his master back then, and as for why he tattooed such a thing, the bald head himself didn't know. At that time, he was also young, and he just wanted to have something to eat with his master, and the bald head said that he didn't want to say that he was tattooed, but asked him to cut people, and he cut it at that time.
"Who is your master?" The old cat asked with interest.
When the bald head talked about his master, the whole person was arrogant, and said, "My master is the famous glimpse in the north - Grimace Pig Ba!" You don't know ......."
Before the bald head finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Xihui, in fact, Lin Xihui didn't interrupt and I also knew that what the bald head said behind must be bragging about his master's words, so Lin Xihui interrupted just right. Lin Xihui motioned to the bald head, don't talk about his master's affairs for the time being, the topic is easy to be deviated, let's study our current affairs first.
It can be seen that the bald head is quite like showing off his master, although I haven't heard of anything like the rivers and lakes, let alone the bald master's grimace Zhu Ba, I am not interested in listening to the bald head say these things, I just want to get out of here as soon as possible, by the way, it would be better if I could know what secrets exist in the coffin of the Taihao period.
However, I am still very curious, why did the bald master tattoo the bald head with the words of the four Taihao periods? Since it was tattooed by his master, the bald master must know the meaning of these four words.
Everyone's topic returned to the mural, and after talking about the phoenix, Lin Xihui said that the other bird in the mural was the Dapeng bird. Speaking of Dapeng, the most well-known is Zhuangzi's "Leisurely Travel", which is recorded as: "There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun." The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. "The water hits 3,000 miles, and the one who sways up is 90,000 miles." "Absolute clouds, negative blue sky, and then Tunan". It can be seen from this article that Dapeng is omnipotent in heaven and earth, and it is a veritable divine bird.
Lin Xihui continued to talk about the other two birds - the peacock and the ghost car. These two birds are very different from the Roc and the Phoenix. The peacock was first defined as a demon bird, a hoodoo object, and it is said that the peacock is the mount of the plague god beggar. The opening of the peacock screen is even more ominous. Especially when you see the peacock flying, it is a great evil, and where the peacock flies, there will definitely be a catastrophe.
The nine-headed bird ghost car is the representative of the demon bird, specializing in collecting the soul of the living, and prefers to eat young children, so the folk will raise dogs in the house in order to prevent the ghost car from stealing young children, because the ghost car is most afraid of the barking of the dog, so this can play a role in frightening the ghost car. There is also a saying that the image of a pregnant woman who dies unjustly is the appearance of a ghost after death.
In the end, Lin Xihui said that the "wingless" Ying Long can't be called Ying Long, and he can't even be counted as a "dragon". At most, it's a demon with relatively high cultivation.
After reading the content on the mural, she also probably understood why the Ying dragon she saw many times here was a kind of dragon-like and non-dragon.
Because it was not a "dragon" in the first place, but it was devouring the flamingos of the yin and yang poles, so it had a dragon form, which is why it can have four wings!
As soon as Lin Xihui's words fell, the old cat next to him spoke, and the old cat still maintained a posture of closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, his mouth opened slightly, and told us about the four strange birds that appeared in the mural.
According to the old cat, the nine-headed bird is actually a kind of phoenix, and there is a saying called "rising into a phoenix, falling into a car." The "car" here refers to the nine-headed bird ghost car. Because it doesn't become a phoenix, it becomes a ghost car. Therefore, the ghost car and the phoenix originally belonged to the same sect, and both belonged to the previous kind of opening god bird (cufa).
It is said that it is the first "bird" between heaven and earth, with fiery red feathers all over its body, and it is also the image of a snake neck, a chicken head, and a turtle body, and it looks similar to a phoenix. It has four wings, can go to heaven and earth, and can make strange sounds in its mouth, and it is said that the language of mankind is taught by the Monkey.
The old cat also weighs on the ghost car, with a total of nine pairs of wings. The two large wings that are clearly visible are actually formed by the nine wings on its body, not that the ghost car has a total of ten pairs of wings.
There is a saying that the nine-headed bird ghost car used to have ten heads, and it was recorded in the "Complete Works of Yang Sheng'an": "Zhou Gong lived in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and when he heard about this bird, he shot it with blood, and there were nine songs." ”
In other words, it is said that its tenth head was shot off by Zhou Gongdan's hunters. That headless neck, constantly dripping blood, will never heal. At the same time, the old cat also affirmed that what Lin Xihui said before about the ghost car, the ghost car is indeed an evil bird. Because of the nine heads of the ghost car, the predecessors also called the ghost car - immortal bird.
The phoenix is the legendary king of birds in ancient China, which happens to inherit the name of the "bird of the opening world" of the silk, so it is said that the phoenix is the closest to the sacred bird of the silk.
The phoenix, like the dragon, is the national totem of China. The phoenix and the unicorn are similar, both male and female, male is phoenix, female is phoenix, and they are collectively called phoenix. In addition to the gender difference, there is also an important difference between "phoenix" and "phoenix", that is, "phoenix" is a wind bird, and "phoenix" is a light bird. At the same time, the phoenix is also a symbol of eternal life, and every time after death, an immeasurable karmic fire will be lit around the phoenix, so that the phoenix can be reborn in the flames.
Just as he was saying this, the old cat suddenly stopped, and his expression told me that he seemed to have something important in mind!
