Chapter 97: The Fugitive (Part 1)

When reading the fortune for Jasmine, Gu Zhisang found that the fate of another person in her marriage palace who was connected to her was a little strange.

Compared with her son’s more obvious “peach blossom evil”, her husband was also infected with Yin energy, with a weak fate and low fortune.

At first, Gu Zhisang thought that Jasmine‘s husband was affected by her son’s affairs like her.

But now that the “peach blossom evil” has been broken, her son’s fate has been rewritten, and her fate has changed again, Gu Zhisang found that the truth of the matter was completely opposite to her initial inference.

Both Jasmine and her son were affected by her husband.

This person was the carrier of Yin energy.

His fortune, future, and even health were greatly weakened, but when Gu Zhisang carefully deduced, he found that his fate was full of righteousness and strength, as if he was protected by a very weak layer of righteous power.

Yin and Yang were opposite, Yin energy and strength conflict.

The next moment, Jasmine slowly said: “My man has been a little weird recently, and his temper is strange. Although he used to be a little stubborn, he was not like these days…”

After thinking for a while, she couldn’t think of any suitable adjectives, so she simply told all the strange things that happened to her husband and asked Gu Zhisang to analyze it.

‘Jasmine’ said: “I just told the master that my man used to hang out with that kind of small group when he was young, and he was detained 2 or 3 times. Fortunately, he didn’t leave any serious criminal record, but it was not a good thing after all.”

“About 10 years ago, when he was the most confused, he followed those brothers to swear an oath of brotherhood and then got a tattoo. He tattooed his back and then tattooed his arms. In the summer, when he took off his clothes, his back and arms were black and blue!”

When she mentioned this, her face was full of disgust.

When he was young, her husband had a decent figure, some muscles, and a wild look all over his body. Now he was old and fat, and even his previous tattoos have become bigger.

She has asked her husband to wash it off several times over the years, and each time he was unhappy.

He said that she didn’t understand the meaning of tattoos at all, and he even went against her and got a tattoo.

Gu Zhisang looked up at the camera and asked: “What did he tattoo?”

‘Jasmine’‘ said, “There is a tattoo of Guan Gong on his back, holding a big knife in his hand, from the bottom of his neck to the root of his back. And there is a dragon head tattooed on his arm, anyway, the area is not that large, from the shoulder to the top of the elbow.”

As soon as she finished describing it, some viewers who knew a little about tattoos started a topic in the comment area of ​​the live broadcast room, and made various guesses:

[Oh, it’s Guan Gong? It’s not a good idea to just tattoo on your body. I’ve heard that you can’t tattoo Guan Gong with open eyes because it will cause bloody disasters because Guan Gong’s eyes are open to kill people! He shouldn’t have tattooed him on his back, because it’s said that tattooing on the back is ‘unbearable’, you should tattoo on your chest!]

[Hiss… There are so many taboos for just a tattoo. There’s a risk to life if the tattoo is not done well? It can’t be that when this guy got fat, Guan Gong’s eyeso pened, right?]

[Be careful with what you say upstairs, don’t make fun of it. Tattooing these ghosts, gods, and Bodhisattvas on your body should be cautious, and Guan Gong is a serious Bodhisattva and God in Buddhism and Taoism!]

[I am a tattoo artist, and there are indeed many taboos on the Internet, but I want to say that you don’t need to worry too much. I have been in the industry for so many years and I have indeed encountered some clients who have bad luck after tattooing, but this is a minority after all, and most people don’t feel anything.]

[Moreover, the back of a person is the flattest and most stable skin on the body. Even if you get fat and the flesh in other parts is loose, it is difficult to stretch the skin on the back. If you want to tattoo a large pattern, you must tattoo the whole back. Judging from this point alone, this guy did nothing wrong. My clients also tattooed full-body Guan Gong statues on their backs.]

[Okay, Sangsang hasn’t said it’s related to tattoos yet, so stop guessing!]

[I understand there are taboos, but as the tattoo artists in the comments said, a tattoo doesn’t have that much power, right? Otherwise, wouldn’t so many people in Xia who have tattoos be in trouble…]

There were indeed many taboos about tattoos in Xia, such as ‘dragon over the shoulder’, ‘descending tiger’, ‘Guan Gong with open eyes’, ‘Buddha in front of the belly’, ‘Old Zhong Kui’, ‘Five poisons’, ‘wolves and dogs’… and so on.

Each has a corresponding taboo, as well as the disasters that may be encountered after the tattoo;

At the same time, the details of the tattoos were different, so the meanings they represented were also different.

But some people always have a rebellious and curious heart, and they don’t believe in metaphysics, ghosts, and gods. They insist on getting tattoos even if they are not allowed to, just to see what will happen if they get tattoos.

For example, the Guan Gong and dragon head tattooed on the back of Jasmine’s husband complies with these regulations and does not violate any taboos.

If the dragon was not on the shoulder, Guan Gong would not open his eyes.

The Guan Gong on his back is holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, which belongs to the ‘Guan Gong holding a sword’.

In addition, there were different classifications such as ‘Guan Gong standing with a sword’, ‘Guan Gong riding a horse’, and ‘Guan Gong with a literary sword’.

It was indeed difficult to see too many useful things from an ordinary tattoo.

So Gu Zhisang did not say anything but just continued to listen.

Jasmine continued to say: “Originally, he had the tattoo, and it was more than 10 years ago. I couldn’t do anything to him. As a result, he suddenly went crazy some time ago and ran to the tattoo shop to wash the tattoo on his back.”

“I thought he suddenly changed his temper.”

But then she found out that her husband didn’t want to wash the tattoo at all, but wanted to get a new tattoo for no reason!

According to the description of Jasmine , her husband went to the tattoo parlor for a second tattoo just a week after the first one, and tattooed another pattern on the original Guan Gong pattern on his back.

However, due to the characteristics of tattoos, it was not possible to wash them clean with one wash, and generally they need to be washed two or three times.

And each time the tattoo was washed, there would be a gap of about a month in between.

People with scar physique or poor skin tolerance often need to recover longer, and even those who recover quickly often need 20 days.

After washing, it was generally best not to tattoo repeatedly in the same place within three months.

For people like Jasmine’s husband, who washed it for the second time in less than ten days and tattooed a new pattern the next time, many tattoo artists from all over the world in the live broadcast room were quite puzzled and raised a series of question marks.

[Is it fake? The wound has not healed in such a short time, are you not afraid of infection?]

[If it is true, then I admire this buddy, he is a ruthless person!]

[I don’t understand why he is anxious.]

Jasmine also saw those questioning comments on the screen of her device and immediately said:

“I didn’t make up the story, and I don’t know what he was thinking! You should use a laser to penetrate the skin when you remove tattoos. When he removed it for the first time, his back was full of red holes, and the skin on his back was swollen and looked like a coral reef! 2 days ago, some places were bleeding, so I applied medicine to him every day.”

“The dense scabs on his back had just fallen off, and he secretly got a tattoo without my knowledge. When he came home, his back was unbearable… The tattooed area was blue and red, and it was directly inflamed and blistered!”

Jasmine was still confused when it came to this.

During those days, her husband had to lie on the bed with his bare chest to apply medicine because of the inflammation and wounds on his back. He was sweating profusely every day because of the pain.

But every time she said a few words to him when she applied medicine, he would glare and get angry, then say in a very irritable tone: “What do you know?”

He will also tell her to shut up.

This made Jasmine very angry.

    1. There are quite a lot actually, I was told by and older fellow that even the angle of the tattoo is important. That a tattoo facing in isn’t a good thing, people face it out for others to see it, but he said it’s also to keep the energy away from you. No one should want a stalking tiger to look at themselves.
