Chapter 40: The Stand-in Paper Man

A group of guys of unknown origin took control of the village, and the first wave of villagers out of the mountain were restrained, but it also created an opportunity for the third uncle to enter the village.

There are only four mysterious people left guarding the east of the village, but these four people are extremely tricky, and they are divided into four corners to block the entrance. The third uncle knew that it was impossible to solve the four people silently, and when he was hesitating, a gust of wind blew, and a few colorful coins blew from somewhere, which happened to fall not far from the third uncle.

The third uncle looked at the dark money, was slightly stunned, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and his heart said that there was it.

Since ancient times, people's impression of witchcraft is mostly mysterious, vicious, terrifying, cruel, evil, etc., in fact, such a concept is extremely unjust and unreasonable.

The reason why people have such a big prejudice against witchcraft is mostly because some lawbreakers use their mysterious power to do some things that hurt nature and reason, so that the art of witchcraft is notorious, such as the famous witch curse in the Western Han Dynasty, which is the biggest source of the notoriety of witchcraft.

The so-called witch Gu actually refers to two different things, one is a witch and the other is a Gu, and the two are related to each other and complement each other, so that later generations often confuse them together.

Wu, that is, witchcraft, is the same as the Taoism of the Central Plains, it is actually a long-standing faction, the essence of which is the same as Taoism, but the beliefs of the two are different, the borrowed power is different, and the way of practice is also different. At its origin, both are important components in the field of occultism, Taoism is spiritual, and because it is related to the long-term orthodox belief of the Central Plains, it is revered as the right way.

Compared with Taoism, the origin of witchcraft is even thousands of years earlier. The source of witchcraft is said to have come from the Shundi tribe, the Wuxian country that produces salt. Because the people of Wuxian have mastered the technology of making salt from brine clay, this method of making salt out of thin air is simply a miracle in the social context of extreme salt shortage at that time, and the process of salt making is accompanied by various ancient and traditional sacrificial activities, so it is regarded as a mysterious magic by outsiders, and witchcraft comes from this.

This is a more objective theory of the origin of witchcraft, and there is also a theory that says that the Jiuli tribe, which is opposed to the early Yanhuang tribe, is the mysterious power possessed by the Chiyou tribe, which represents the savage and primitive mysterious power, which is another theory of witchcraft.

In any case, the true source of witchcraft is no longer known, but there is no doubt that witchcraft is not an evil spell that has become a foregone conclusion in the eyes of the world. For a long time, witchcraft is a means used by the descendants of Jiuli to pray for a better life, not an evil technique, if used properly, it does not know that it can dispel diseases and disasters, and it can also get rid of some evil spirits and protect human beings.

It just so happens that my grandmother is a goddess who is proficient in witchcraft, although I don't know how much she knows about witchcraft, but from the admiration and evaluation of grandma by the old woman of Ajimuralin and the corpse mover, it is not difficult to see that grandma is still a master of this way.

And as the only one of my grandmother's four sons to enter the third uncle of the national mystery department, and his position is not low, he will never be able to do this level without a certain ability. In fact, the third uncle did learn a lot from his grandmother, although he didn't show it to me, but Sister Bailing secretly told me that the third uncle had been peeking at a book about Miao Wu written by his grandmother.

I don't know how much the third uncle learned from his grandmother, but judging from this incident, he obviously knows a lot of witchcraft.

The moment he saw the paper money, the third uncle thought of a way to lure away the guards - a stand-in paper puppet.

I don't know exactly what kind of spell it is, from the Taoist priest's paraphrase, I only know that this is a stand-in technique, using the paper man to cast witchcraft, you can control the paper man's actions in a short time, and wipe the blood of the spell caster on the paper man's eyebrows, which can perfectly simulate all the characteristics of the caster.

In the eyes of the caster, the paper man is still a paper man, but in the eyes of others, the paper figure is the appearance of the caster, whether it is appearance or voice and breath, which is equivalent to a kind of blinding, a kind of blinding method to confuse the perception of others.

This kind of little sorcery is useless to this Dao master, but it is no problem to deal with these outlaws in front of him.

The third uncle folded the paper money into four paper figures, bit his fingers and smeared the blood, and performed the spell according to the method, and soon, the first paper man stood up swayingly, and floated towards the entrance of the village under the control of the third uncle.

In the eyes of the third uncle, the paper man flew past without touching his feet, but in the eyes of the four people, it was different, what they saw should be the figure of the third uncle walking over.

Sure enough, as soon as the paper man floated to the place where the four people were ambushed, the four people jumped out in unison, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the paper man. The third uncle smiled and controlled the paper figure to flee in one direction quickly.

Bang bang bang, these people are really not good at stubble, seeing that the 'third uncle' still dared to run away, the four of them pulled the trigger without hesitation. The bullets flew sideways, but the figure of the paper man was much smaller than the figure of the third uncle they saw, and a row of bullets did not work, and one of them shouted, chased after him with a gun, and quickly disappeared into the woods.

Estimating the time, the third uncle released the second paper figure, which was concocted in the same way, and this time the remaining three people learned to be smart, and the two of them chased out together. Seeing this, the third uncle said in his heart that he had saved a paper man, and hurriedly released a paper man again, and the rest of the man was obviously startled when he saw that the 'third uncle' was back, but instead of running away, he threw his gun and threw his gun and pounced on the paper man.

The third uncle saw it clearly, and at the same time as the person's complexion changed, the black qi shrouded in his body was obviously a little thicker, and at that moment, the third uncle seemed to see a huge eyeball shrouded in black qi.

The paper man was pounced on by that guy, the black gas was filled, the paper man burned up instantly, after seeing the true face of the 'third uncle', the guy was stunned, and before he could react, he had already touched the third uncle behind him with a knife and slashed at the back of his neck, and immediately put him down.

The third uncle's strength is very particular about this time, and at least it can make this guy faint for more than two hours. After dragging the man to the bushes to the side and hiding him, the third uncle quickly touched the village.

I thought that there had been a great change in the village, at least there might be deaths and injuries, or the villagers would be imprisoned together, but when the third uncle touched the village, he found that there was not, except for the house, there was no one in sight, and the rest was normal.

After looking for a while, the third uncle did not find any trace of the gangsters, and when he was wondering, he found that the doors of each house were closed, and the doors and windows were smeared with a lot of dark green slurry, outlining a strange outline.

The third uncle felt that those patterns were a little familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere, and after thinking about it carefully, cold sweat suddenly fell, and he remembered where he had seen this pattern. The third uncle has been very skinny since he was a child, in current words, it is the kind of skin that is more skinny than Pipi shrimp, and the little witchcraft that grandma inadvertently shows on weekdays makes him extremely yearning, so when he was seven years old, he began to peek at a book written by his grandmother called Miao Wu Annotation, and secretly learned a lot of witchcraft, and also broadened his horizons and knew a lot of witchcraft secrets.

These patterns on the doors and windows of the villagers in front of me are exactly what you can see on Miao Wu's annotations, which are an extremely evil ancient rune used to attract evil spirits, combined with a plant juice called Artemisia annua, which has an extremely powerful effect on attracting evil spirits. This is an evil spell, and this kind of rune is painted on the doors and windows of the enemy's house with the juice of the black artemisia, and within one night, the master's house will surely suffer misery, and the death will be miserable, and even the corpse will be devoured by the insects that attract it.

At present, this kind of rune is painted on the doors and windows of every house in the village, which is obviously to make the whole village die! The third uncle was shocked in his heart, this group attacked the village but did not kill anyone, it turned out that it was not because they had good intentions, but because they had a more vicious way of killing! This also reminded the third uncle that people who know this kind of vicious spell will never be simple, and it seems that they have to be careful.

Thinking about it, my heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy, and I searched all the way, but the third uncle never found any trace of the gangsters, it seemed that these people just surrounded the village and did not come in.

The village is not big, the third uncle quickly searched for most of it, he found that the villagers were locked in the house, when he found around the ancestral hall, because he did not find the group of villains, the third uncle relaxed for a while, but he didn't expect that his feet had been surrounded by countless dense insects unconsciously, and when he found out, it was too late.

Countless insects like scorpions, but similar to centipedes, rushed towards him, and as far as the eye could see, almost everywhere he could see, he was surrounded by this strange insect holding stingers.

One of the faster ones had already rushed to the feet of the third uncle, and raised the high stinger and stabbed it at the third uncle's feet. The third uncle saw that the stinger of the insect was blue-black, and he knew that it was highly poisonous at a glance, so he hurriedly dodged, and saw that the stinger actually poked into the floor of the bluestone, and the black venom flowed out, and it corroded a hole the size of a small finger on the stone.

The third uncle's face turned white at once, and he said in his heart whether this is poison or sulfuric acid, this is too exaggerated, thinking, he hurriedly retreated, and unconsciously retreated to the door of the ancestral hall, there was no way.

was surrounded, and the dense poisonous insects did not give the third uncle a way out at all. In fact, the third uncle was also frightened by so many poisonous insects for a while, as long as he calmed down and thought about it, with his ability, these insects would not have driven him into a desperate situation. But at that time, he was really panicked, and when he saw that he was about to get cold, at this moment, the door of the ancestral hall behind him creaked open, and a wrinkled hand leaned out from behind the door, and pulled the third uncle in.

The third uncle was shocked, and before he could react, an old voice sounded: "Third uncle, why are you here?" ”

The third uncle was suddenly excited, and when he looked back, he almost screamed excitedly, only to see that the person who spoke turned out to be his wife.

The moment he saw his grandmother, the third uncle was really stunned, both happy and puzzled, didn't he say that the old man was missing? Isn't that good?

Before the third uncle could ask what was going on, he was stunned by the sight above the ancestral hall and on the wall.
