Gong Yaming sighed, put down the electronic soft screen in his hand and said, "Listening to your tone, I think it's still free will in the end, I really don't understand what you young girls are thinking."

Do you know, I originally planned to exchange my sister Gong Yami from Shanteng City Senior High School to Guilun City Senior High School, so that she could stay away from the demagogy of those liberals.

Unexpectedly, she refused to agree no matter what, and even protested with a hunger strike when she finally alarmed her parents, so that my parents, who had agreed to communicate, finally compromised.

Do you know what her reason is for opposing coming to Guilun City?

It is that she is already an adult and therefore should have the free will to decide where to go to school, and there is no other reason than that, that is, because she does not want to come, she does not want to come. ”

"Gong Xian, from my personal point of view, I quite agree with your sister's reasons," looking at Gong Yaming's frowning brows, Han Aiyuan said softly: "Your style of acting has always been open and considerate of others, I really don't know why you are entangled in your sister's 'free will' now." ”

"But her current free will is likely to make her a generalized ultra-liberal in the future." Gong Yaming said with some irritation.

"Gong Xian, no one's eyes can predict the future of others through the fog of time," Han Aiyuan said comfortingly, "Your sister may not follow the path you predicted in the future." ”

"I hope so, she has been far more assertive than me since she was a child, in fact, it is difficult for others to interfere in her life." Gong Yaming was silent for a while, sighed and muttered...

On August 25, after more than 50 hours of interstellar journey, Gong Yaming finally returned to Haijing City, and after separating from his assistant Han Aiyuan, he did not return to Sidley University, but took a taxi to Haijing City's city-state airport.

After buying a C-class ticket from Haijing to Tuohai at the city-state airport, Gong Yaming arrived at Tuohai, a fourth-class coastal city in the federation, 4,590 kilometers away.

Walking out of the airport of Tuohai City, he immediately felt the scenery of the coastal city completely different from Guilun City, countless bizarre projection patterns densely spread over Kuohai City, only half of the flying cars in the market were normal colors, and the other half was full of all kinds of strange pictures.

High-rise buildings up to hundreds of meters high are covered with human heads, ghosts, birds and beasts graffiti standing in the city, pedestrians, whether tourists or locals, but not very old, most of them are painted with oil paint on their faces, and middle-aged or old people, although not as excessive as young people, but if you look carefully, you can also see that many of them are wearing accessories with very character.

Seeing that the real Tuohai City was far more personal than the introduction he searched for on the Star Network, Gong Yaming couldn't help but have a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, a few girls who walked by him with colorful clothes painted on their faces, but their voices were no more than 17 or 8 years old, saw Gong Yaming, who was smiling charmingly, and suddenly grabbed him and said:

"Brother, brother, you are so handsome when you laugh, are you interested in going to the beach with us to have fun, and after playing, you can be alone in the tent on the beach."

"Brother, are you a tourist who has just arrived in Takuha, Takumi is different from your hometown, boys here are invited by girls, if you don't go, it's rude, so you must go to the beach dance with me." …

Unsure whether what he met was an innocent passionate girl in the coastal city or the girl described on the star network, Gong Yaming awkwardly pulled his hand out of the chest of a plump girl and said: "I'm sorry beautiful girls, I'm here to expand the sea for official exchanges, I have to report first, and I don't have time to go to the beach." ”

"Official exchange, brother, are you a public official of the government at such a young age?". A girl with a very lovely smile asked softly.

"Yes, I am a Level 3 police inspector who has been transferred to Tuohai for half a year from the Purification and Weathering Department of the Haijing City Police Department." Gong Yaming said seriously.

Hearing Gong Yaming say this, several girls looked at his serious face in a daze, slowly let go of their hands, and suddenly ran away with their feet on the hard-bottomed clogs.

After using a clever trick to drive away a few girls, Gong Yaming breathed a sigh of relief, operated the electronic instrument on his wrist to summon a taxi to stop a rental car, and went to the destination that had already been set in his heart, the Nulan Community of Tuohai City. ..., when he came to the Nulan community, he walked a few steps on the street at random, and saw many lifelike three-dimensional hand-painted wild creature projections projected in front of a house, covering an area of 3, 400 square meters, called 'Soul Fury' tattoo club.

Although he was very interested in those three-dimensional hand-painted wild creature patterns, such a high-profile tattoo club was obviously not the first choice of Gong Yaming, who quietly came to Takuhai and wanted to use tattoos to cover up the mysterious characters behind him who had a lot to do with the Momen inheritance, so after looking at it in front of the door for a few seconds, he shook his head helplessly and left the Soul Fury Tattoo Club.

Avant-garde post-interstellar style gallery, body graffiti room, tattoo club, weird style wood carving club, seafood restaurant, sea water floating experience hall, tattoo club... After walking for a long time in the street market of the angry blue society, Gong Yaming came across at least 10 tattoo shops in total.

But those tattoo parlors either seem to have poor craftsmanship and dismal business, or they think that the tattoo artists and customers who are too large and have a large number of people seem too complicated.

But this is a paradox, in such an era of general information explosion, if the tattoo club is skilled, then it will inevitably have a surplus of customers, and if you want to find a deserted shop to do tattoos, then the craftsmanship of tattoos is naturally more difficult to guarantee.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Gong Yaming finally realized that it was impossible for him to find a tattoo parlor that would take care of his choice, and in the end, he could only take his own safety as the first choice, and casually walked into a very small tattoo shop with a deserted business.

The tattoo parlor, called 'Haitao', is less than 15 square meters in size, except for a bed for customers to get tattoos and a huge mirror hanging from the wall, except for an elderly man sitting in a rocking chair and dozing drowsily.

Seeing that there was neither a virtual album for customers to choose a pattern nor an electronically assisted tattoo instrument in the store, Gong Yaming couldn't help but be stunned, and his first reaction was to walk out of this tattoo studio and choose a new one.

However, he thought about it carefully, and the only thing that could provide tattoo services for him could only be the old man who looked like he was about to die, so he dispelled the idea of escaping, walked to the old man's side and said: "Hello old man, old man, are you the tattoo artist of this tattoo parlor?" ”。

The old man glanced at Gong Yaming sleepily and asked, "Young man, do you want a tattoo?" ”

Gong Yaming nodded and said: "Yes, old man, I originally had a few ancient words tattooed on my back, but now I feel that it is too monotonous to look at it for a long time, so I want to tattoo a big picture to cover it up." ”

The old man nodded, and said without being verbose, "Show me the text behind you." ”

Gong Yaming nodded, took off his shirt, and said to the old man with his bare back: "Look, these are the words." ”

The old man looked at Gong Yaming's back, his originally casual expression slowly disappeared, and he muttered in his mouth: "This touch and technique, as well as the charm contained in it, cannot be tattooed by the instrument at all."

But if it's handmade, how can you not even see a pinhole, such a tattoo technique is really amazing..."

After admiring for a full 1 minute, the old man came back to his senses and said very seriously: "Young man, the ancient tattoo behind you is perfect, and the skills you use are also something I have never seen, if you want to cover it up with a big picture, in the eyes of insiders, the effect may not be as good as now..."

Gong Yaming interjected: "Old man, I only want to tattoo a big picture on the back when I come to your store, and as for the effect, I think it's not bad in the eyes of ordinary people." ”

The old man was stunned by Gong Yaming's words, and then smiled and said: "Young man, as long as you can endure the pain, the tattoo effect of my Fujiki Tsurumaburo will definitely make ordinary people feel very good at a glance." ”

"That's good, old man, don't worry, I can still endure the insignificant pain of tattooing," Gong Yaming waved his hand and said, "Then let's look at the sketch, and after choosing, you can start tattooing for me." ”

"After I made a tattoo at the age of 60, I no longer needed a sketch, young man, your temperament is very unusual, and it looks like a 'sea wave', which is really rare." The old man looked at Gong Yaming carefully for a while, and his face gradually became a little surprised.

"Hai Botu, if you mean a piece of sea, wouldn't it look too monotonous," although the purpose of the tattoo is only to cover up the ancient text behind it, but after all, it may follow him for a lifetime, Gong Yaming still thinks that it is at least more beautiful, so he said: "I think it is better to add a ferocious animal, or a wild creature." "Young man, the momentum in your bones is fierce enough, you don't need a tattoo," the old man looked at Gong Yaming carefully again for a while, shook his head in more and more surprise and said: "Animals can be added, but in that case, the area of your tattoo will be expanded a lot, if you are willing to tattoo on the back, chest, elbows, and knees, I can add a koi fish for you." ”…,

Gong Yaming was stunned for a moment, thinking that with the improvement of the ability of the stand-in, maybe the new ancient characters would appear in other positions except the back, and it was not a bad thing to take precautions to get more tattoos on the body.

However, he was not satisfied with the tattoo of koi, an ornamental aquatic animal in the special star region of the earth, so he said: "It doesn't matter if the tattoo area is larger, but can you change the koi fish to other patterns?" ”

"The only animal suitable for tattooing on your body seems to me to be koi," replied the old man with a firm expression like a stone, "this is my insistence as a craftsman, and if you are not satisfied, then you can only go to another tattoo parlor." ”

After Gong Yaming became the laureate, in addition to facing his family, he has not compromised with others for a long time, but this time he was defeated by the stubbornness of the tattooed old man, seeing the old man's expression of never giving in, he reluctantly walked to the bed in the store and lay down, and said: "Then the tattoo koi is good, the old gentleman, please hurry up, it is best to get the tattoo before dinner." ”

If the tattoo artist can skillfully use the electronic assisted tattoo device to serve the customer, then even if the tattoo is all over the body, the time taken is only 15 minutes at most, but if the tattoo artist is all hand-painted, the time to draw a large picture is likely to be calculated in months or even years.

This is also the reason why the old man is extremely skilled in his craft, but he is left out in the cold, in the impetuous interstellar civilization, fine prints are far more popular than paintings painstakingly created by artists, because the former is quick and easy to obtain, while the latter is cumbersome and expensive.

Originally, Gong Yaming obviously didn't know much about the art of tattooing, so he would ask the old man to tattoo himself before dinner, and the tattooed old man should of course explain to him at this time the difference between handmade tattooing and tattooing with auxiliary equipment.

Unexpectedly, the old man was slightly stunned when he heard Gong Yaming's words, and then asked solemnly: "Young man, how long did it take for the master to tattoo these ancient characters for you?" ”

"About 4 or 5 minutes," Gong Yaming said casually, "it could be shorter." ”

The old man was silent for a while, while taking out a box made of bluestone from under the bed, after opening it, he took out a soft thin needle, and his eyes gradually shone with indescribable excitement, and said slowly: "Yes, young man, I am old, and my physical strength is declining so badly, I am afraid it is impossible for you to tattoo as fast as him, but at the latest in the early morning, I will let you see my work." ”…

The thin needles seemed to be alive in the hands of the tattooed old man, beating on Gong Yaming's naked body, and there was not the slightest trace of blood when entering and exiting the texture.

At least 10 minutes after the tattoo, Gong Yaming could feel the hot pain of the skin, oozing blood, at first these pains were not obvious, but when the small pieces of tattooed skin gradually joined together, he gradually felt that his whole body was hot, his body trembled, and even his mind began to blur.

But even if it was so difficult, the strange thing was that Gong Yaming didn't let out a single moan, the huge pain in his body seemed to be able to offset all kinds of anxiety hidden in his heart, and in a strange feeling of severe pain to pleasure, he accepted the transformation of his body...

Time passed minute by minute, acupuncture, ink, coloring, fire roasting, scab removal, water wiping, and by the time the old man had finished the whole tattoo and sat down on the ground, the time had reached 23:59 in the evening, and at the last moment, he had completed his promise to Gong Yaming.

After sitting on the ground for a long time, the old man slowly got up from the ground, he trembled and sprinkled water on Gong Yaming's face, and after Gong Yaming woke up, he said in a weak voice: "Young man, your tattoo is good, go and see if you are satisfied." ”

"Old gentleman, I now think that going to the hospital to see a doctor is more important than looking at the tattoo in the mirror," Gong Yaming, who felt dizzy, touched his hot forehead while stepping off the bed, and said in a dry voice: "You have made me fully understand the importance of various modern auxiliary instruments in life, and I will leave you enough money to buy an assistant..."

Gong Yaming, who had been complaining constantly, suddenly closed his mouth after seeing the tattoos on his body reflected in the huge mirror on the wall.

Under the calm rivers and seas depicted in ink and ink, there seem to be endless waves lurking, just waiting to erupt and roar; And the sky seemed to be about to be covered with dark clouds, and thunder and lightning were about to be vented.

However, the river, sea and sky seem to be magnificent, but because of the use of special techniques and the use of charm to reflect their momentum, the actual tattoo area does not occupy a lot. ..., the whole tattoo is more than 80 expressions, all of which are tattooed on Gong Yaming's chest, the body spreads over his entire back, and the tail hangs on the koi on his hips, only to see that between the water waves and the sky, a huge red carp, accompanied by a pale black mist, jumps out of the river and sea alone, and the body twists into an indescribable curve, as if it is about to rush into the clouds...

When Gong Yaming looked at the tattoo in the mirror with a frightened expression on his face, the old man slowly paced to his side and said softly: "Young man, don't be superstitious about those instruments in everything, what is really made by human hands bit by bit will have a soul." ”

"The truth is above, this, this is simply art," Gong Yaming came back to his senses and said, "No, of course this is art."

I couldn't believe that I walked into one of the most rudimentary, old tattoo parlors I came across, only to meet a master artist hidden among the people.

What's wrong with me these days, I always inadvertently meet all kinds of extraordinary people that ordinary people can't meet in their lifetime. ”

"To be able to meet extraordinary people proves that you yourself are not ordinary," the old man said with a weak smile: "In the ancient legend, if the koi fish jumps over the dragon gate, it will turn into 'can be big and small, can rise and hide, big will be prosperous and spitting mist, and small will be hidden and hidden; Ascending is soaring across the universe, and hidden is a dragon lurking within the waves.

I've been tattooing on my own since I was 18 years old, and you were the first customer I offered to recommend a koi tattoo. ”

"It can be big and small, and it can be hidden: the big is the clouds and the fog, and the small is hidden and hidden; Ascending soars between the universe, and concealment lurks in the waves," Hearing the words of the tattooed old man, Gong Yaming looked at the koi on his body, muttered and repeated for a long time, and suddenly said in a relaxed tone: "Old man, I didn't expect you to also read the ancient documents of the earth's original civilization and be taught." ”

"If I don't read ancient books, I won't be able to tattoo such a carp," said the old man with a smile, "As a craftsman, as long as the customers are satisfied, we will be very happy, young man, since you are satisfied, you can leave, I will close the shop." ”

Gong Yaming nodded, put on his clothes, took out all the coins from his pocket, left 2 sheets, and handed the rest to the old man and said, "Old man, this is your payment, I know that maybe this is not enough, but it is already all the money on me except for the travel expenses, sorry." ”
