Blue fish was a special kind of fish found in a river in the Ox-Head Mountains. This fish couldn't be eaten because it had too many bones and also because its meat was poisonous. Because of this, there were a lot of these fish in the river. Later on, it was used as a tattoo material for the Ox-Tribesmen. In those years, the number of blue fish in the river was a lot less compared to now. This was because at that time, every Ox-Tribesman had a tattoo. They treated it as a form of culture. Even if they didn't tattoo words, they would still tattoo some patterns.
But now, there were very few Ox-Tribesmen who had tattoos. This was because the Ox-Tribesmen were always laughed at by the other races. Because of this, very few Ox-Tribesmen had tattoos now.
Niu Ping's grandfather was a tattoo artist among the Ox-Tribesmen. Originally, this profession was very respected. Because of this, Niu Ping's grandfather's status in the Ox-Tribesmen was very high. But later on, the Ox-Tribesmen stopped tattooing. Because of this, Niu Ping's grandfather had nothing to do. Niu Ping's grandfather lived with the Old Master. His daily task was to clean the old city.
At this time, Niu Ping's grandfather still lived in the old city. Although the old city was changed into an academy, old people like Niu Ping's grandfather didn't leave. The academy arranged some work for them, but it wasn't very tiring. Most of the work was for them to take care of the children. Niu Ping's grandfather was very happy now.
Today, Niu Ping's grandfather was very happy. This was because Niu Ping's father went to his grandfather and asked him to give him a tattoo. Niu Ping's grandfather arrived at Niu Ping's house early in the morning and brought all the things needed for the tattoo.
After school, Niu Ping saw his grandfather. His grandfather looked very old and had a lot of wrinkles on his face. However, he was still tall and his waist was straight. His body was covered with tattoos and looked very mysterious.
Niu Ping's relationship with his grandfather was very good. When he was young, his grandfather often taught him martial arts. It wasn't until Niu Ping became an elder that his grandfather moved to the old city. His main job was to clean the old city. However, as long as Niu Ping was at home, he would still visit his grandfather.
However, because Niu Ping was very busy these days, he didn't go to see his grandfather. Seeing his grandfather today, Niu Ping was very happy. He went to the old man and gave him a salute. Then he said loudly, "Grandfather, why didn't you come home for a long time? I've missed you. "
Niu Ping's grandfather was very tall. Although he had a lot of wrinkles on his face, he looked very energetic. He looked at Niu Ping and laughed, "You young people are studying hard every day. Do you think that we old men have nothing to do? "Those brats are very naughty. Sometimes, the teachers in the academy are too busy and they have to rely on us old fellows. When would I have the time to come back? I heard from your father that you want a tattoo? My good grandson, why did you think of getting a tattoo? I thought you didn't want to get a tattoo in the past? "
When Niu Ping heard his grandfather, his expression couldn't help but turn bitter. He said to his grandfather, "Grandfather, you know that what I'm learning right now is the art of formations. It's to prepare for our future farming. However, this art of formations is really too difficult to learn. We don't have any talent. We've been trying to learn it, but we still haven't been able to do it. Up until now, we haven't even been able to arrange a simple formation. I heard from my father that as long as I have a formation engraved on my body, then I would be able to learn the art of formations. Therefore, I wanted to ask you to help me engrave that formation onto my body."
When Niu Ping's grandfather heard this, he couldn't help but stare. Then he laughed and said, "Your good grandson actually has something that he can't learn? However, what your father said is true. The ancestors of our Ox Tribe have already passed down a message. Tattoos are the inheritance of our Ox Tribe. Many of our inheritances are passed down through tattoos. Moreover, there's also a saying that if there's something that we don't know, as long as we have a tattoo on our body, then we'll be able to learn it. Today, Grandfather brought the tools over, I'll tattoo you on your body. See if you can learn this formation technique. "
Niu Ping nodded and said, "Alright, Grandfather. Let's eat first. After eating, you can tattoo me."
Niu Ping's grandfather also nodded and said, "Alright, let's eat. We'll have more energy after eating. This tattoo can't be stopped. It needs to be done in one go. If we stop halfway, then we won't be able to do it."
Niu Ping nodded, then together with his father, he led his grandfather to eat. Niu Ping's family didn't have many people. His grandmother had already passed away, but his mother was still alive. At the same time, he also had two disciples. However, they were still young and were currently studying in the academy. Therefore, when it was time to eat, only the four of them were present.
While eating, Niu Ping's grandfather looked at Niu Ping and said, "Good grandson, I heard that the Sect Master has invited people to improve the Ox-Head Mountain Plains. He said that the Ox-Head Mountain Plains would be able to harvest some spirit rice in a month. Is this true? "
Without waiting for Niu Ping's reply, Niu Ping's father replied, "Father, it's true. The teachers in the academy have already improved several pieces of land in the plains. It's really fast. After planting the spirit rice, it would only take a short time for it to grow. It wouldn't be a problem for it to mature in about a month. With these improved lands, it would be easy to harvest ten times a year."
"Oh? Is this really the case? Then we don't have to worry about food in the future? By the way, won't the land be affected? "
"No, Father. The spirit rice mainly absorbs spirit qi. It must be planted with the five elements grass. This way, not only will it not damage the fertility of the land, but it will also make the land into a spirit field. It's very magical."
"That's good. It seems that the good days of my Ox Clan are coming."
"Yes, Father. The good days of our Ox Clan are coming."
The reason why Niu Ping's father said this was because when they were in the Mind Sect, they were really unhappy. Every year, the Mind Sect would ask them to hand over a lot of food. So at this time, although there were countless fertile lands in the Ox-Head Mountain Plains, because they handed over too much food every year, they didn't have much left. It was just enough to survive.
The reason why they had to hand over so much food was because the people of the Mind Sect said that if they didn't hand over the food, they would be punished and their fiefdom would be taken back. Because of this, they had to hand over a lot of food every year, which made their lives very tight.
If it weren't for the strength of the Ox Clan, then the Mind Sect would have already thought of a way to take away the Ox-Head Mountain Plains. Both sides were afraid of each other, which was why until now.
Now that they had returned to the Sea Exploring Sect, they might be able to harvest ten crops a year in the future. This meant that they would be able to produce ten times more food than before. For them, this was a very good thing. They would have a lot more food to spare.
After the meal, Niu Ping's grandfather took Niu Ping outside. Then he took out the things that he used to tattoo people. There were all kinds of pens, a small bottle of potion, and all kinds of needles. These needles weren't made of metal, but of bone. These bone needles were made of fish bones and were soaked in a special potion. They were very hard and easy to use. Niu Ping's grandfather took Niu Ping outside.
Niu Ping's grandfather placed all of these things in an exquisite leather bag. Now, he took them out one by one. Then he turned to Niu Ping and said, "Good grandson, show your true form. Give me the formation that you want to pierce." Niu Ping's grandfather nodded.
Niu Ping nodded. Then he took out a jade slip and gave it to Niu Ping's grandfather. Then he turned into a one-horned green ox. After he turned into a one-horned green ox, his body became two times bigger. His height exceeded twenty meters and his height exceeded ten meters.
Niu Ping's grandfather nodded. Then he took out a jade slip and used his spiritual force to probe it. Then he sent out the formation that Niu Ping wanted to tattoo. Niu Ping wanted to tattoo a formation. This formation was the simplest formation among all the formations. However, this formation had a lot of the most basic formation runes. These formation runes were the most commonly used formation runes. Because of this, Niu Ping chose this formation rune.
After Niu Ping's grandfather looked at the formation rune, he took out a pen and began to draw on Niu Ping's body. In the end, he drew a formation rune on Niu Ping's body.
Some people might wonder why Niu Ping's grandfather could draw an array according to an array diagram, but Niu Ping couldn't use an array talisman to set up an array diagram. In fact, this principle was very simple. You can follow a blueprint and make another blueprint. But can you build a house according to the blueprint? This didn't seem to be easy. In fact, the reason was the same. Don't think that you can make a formation rune just because you have a formation rune. That wasn't an easy thing to do. If a formation rune was that simple, then everyone could become a formation expert.
Niu Ping's grandfather was just drawing a formation rune. Because of this, he was able to draw a formation rune. Actually, it could only be considered a formation rune and not a formation rune.
Niu Ping's grandfather nodded in satisfaction when he found that there were no mistakes in the drawing. He put down the jade slip in his hand and looked at the drawing carefully. Then, he picked up the bone needle, dipped it in the potion, and pierced it into Niu Ping's body.
The reason why their bone needles were specially made was because the skin of the Oxen had very good defensive capabilities. Ordinary needles simply couldn't pierce it. Only these bone needles could. Moreover, these bone needles were hollow. After absorbing the potion, the potion would directly enter the skin, leaving behind a tattoo. Niu Ping's grandfather's grandfather was very skilled.
The needle in his hand moved quickly as he outlined the formation rune bit by bit. Niu Ping's parents were watching from the side. Although they had tattoos on their bodies, there weren't many of them, only a few. In fact, there weren't many Oxen in their generation who had tattoos. Because of this, they hadn't seen anyone with tattoos for many years. And now that their son was tattooed, they were very concerned. They were afraid that something bad would happen. Fortunately, Niu Ping's grandfather's skill was very good.
