Chapter 1 Late-night paper shop
It's late at night.
In some remote corner of the city, a drunken man got out of a taxi and staggered into a nearby alley.
The alley is not long, lined with low back walls of houses, piles of garbage can be seen everywhere, and only a lone street lamp is lit in the middle, and in the shadow of that street lamp stands a sexy blonde woman.
Seeing the drunk man coming, the corners of the blonde woman's mouth rose slightly, and she took the initiative to step forward and shake a thin cigarette between her fingers, "Big brother, borrow a fire?" ”
The drunk man shook his body, looked back and forth, and pointed to himself, "Little, miss, you, are you talking to me?" ”
The blonde woman glanced at him angrily, "Who is your name, Miss?" ”
The drunk man shook his head, as if he had just seen the woman in front of him clearly, looked up and down, and the color in his eyes flashed, "Hehe, yes, I said the wrong thing, Xiao ...... Oh no, girl, you, why don't you come home so late and smoke here alone, yes, are you bothered by something? Come, give, tell my brother. ”
The drunk man shook and walked in front of the blonde woman, the blonde woman smiled, and retreated into the shadows half-pushed, "Big brother, you, what do you want to do?" ”
The drunk man hugged the blonde woman, "Brother, the fire is booming here......"
"Don't, don't......" The voice of the blonde woman resisted in the darkness, but soon there was no movement.
After only a few seconds, the drunk man suddenly sat on his back as if he had gone crazy, and his eyes were full of horror, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
Immediately afterwards, I saw the blonde woman walk out of the shadows under the street lamp, but at this time she had completely changed into a different appearance, with blonde hair scattered over her shoulders, her originally beautiful face was blurred with flesh and blood at this time, her two eye sockets were like blood holes, and the eyeballs of her right eye hung on her face like grapes.
"You, are you a human or a ghost?" The drunk man suddenly sobered up, trembling all over, and tried to get up from the ground only to find that his legs were no longer obedient, his crotch was hot, and the smell of wine suddenly dispersed.
A strange smile appeared on the blonde woman's hideous face, "Men really don't have a good thing......
"You, don't come here!" The drunk struggled to move backwards with his arms on his upper body.
The blonde woman sneered, suddenly opened her arms and threw herself at the drunk, her hands reaching into his chest without hesitation, and with a sudden lift, a bloody heart was pulled out.
The drunk stared in disbelief at the heart that belonged to him in the blonde woman's hand, his eyes full of despair and fear.
The bright red heart continued the drunkard's fear, beating violently in the hands of the blonde woman, the drunk's eyes were wide open, and the pupils gradually dilated, and the eyes did not leave his heart until the last moment of his life.
Holding the bloody heart in both hands, the blonde woman's gray one-eyed eye radiated a greedy light, swallowed her saliva, and was about to swallow it, when suddenly a footstep was heard in the distance.
With a roll of her gray eyes, the blonde woman suddenly seemed to notice something, and hurriedly picked up her heart and got up to flee, but before she could take a step, a black shadow swept towards and blocked the way.
"Evil beasts! Dare to hurt someone's life! A man in black turned his back to the blonde woman, his voice was cold, without a trace of emotion, and his whole body exuded a chilling aura.
"Who are you? How dare you meddle in your business! "The blonde woman has a hideous face.
The other party turned around slowly, and to his surprise, it turned out to be a delicate face, but his face was too pale, and there seemed to be a hint of illness in it, making it impossible to see his age.
"Without further ado, do you want me to come in by yourself or do you want me to help you." At some point, an arrow-like thing was held in his hand, and the whole body was black, only slightly larger than the palm of his hand, exuding a cold aura.
"Yo, it turned out to be a little Taoist," Seeing the arrow in the hand of the man in black, the blonde woman was not afraid, but turned her body back to her previous appearance, covered her mouth and smiled, and beckoned to the man in black, "Come, come to my sister, my sister will let you see something." ”
As he spoke, he intentionally or unintentionally lifted his collar, revealing two snow-white cleavages.
"It's hard to change your nature, just ......" The man in black sighed, not wanting the blonde woman to flash her figure and pounce on him!
The black-clothed man's face sank, and he waved out his other hand suddenly, a dark light flashed, the blonde woman's figure was stunned, and an orange-red fire pattern suddenly spread from the center of her eyebrows, and in an instant, it was like a big net to wrap the blonde woman's whole body, and under the rapid tightening, with a "boom", the sexy figure suddenly turned into ashes in the sky and fell.
"Ahem......" The man in black coughed a few times, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, which he wiped away casually, looked at the body of the drunk man not far away, turned around and walked out of the alley.
At some point, a thin line of rain had fallen in the night sky.
Under the dim street lamp, the man in black turned into a remote old street.
At this time, at the end of this old street, there is a dim red paper lantern hanging from the door of a shop called Chen Ji Paper Shop.
The man in black stumbled a little, trembling slightly, and his pale cheeks continued to slide downward, I don't know if it was a mixture of rain or sweat.
When he came to the door of this paper-binding shop, he stopped, raised his hand to look at the time under the lone lamp, and muttered, "It's time to come." He glanced around, and was about to turn around and push the door, but the two old wooden doors opened by themselves with a "creak".
"Just listen to the footsteps and know it's you." A middle-aged man with white hair and dark glasses, who looked to be no more than fifty years old, appeared inside the wooden door, looking at the young man in front of him with a smile.
"Ahem......" The young man suddenly coughed, his throat was sweet, and he quickly covered his mouth and walked to the back hall.
"Ah Feng, are you alright?" The white-haired middle-aged man's face tightened and he was about to chase after him, but the young man turned his back to him and waved his hand, "I'm fine, it's not early, you go back and rest." ”
"Then, then pay attention to yourself, I have already boiled the medicine, and I will put it on the stove." The white-haired middle-aged man said worriedly.
"Got it." The young man answered without looking back, lifted the curtain and walked into the back hall.
"Alas, it's not a way to go on like this......" The white-haired middle-aged man frowned, put his hands behind his back and sighed as he walked out. However, what people didn't expect was that after slowly closing the two old wooden doors, his face suddenly changed, his originally straight body shrank at this time, his eyes looked around vigilantly, he folded his hands, and bowed to the four directions with words in his mouth, and then disappeared into the night.
This person's name is Chen Shanyuan, and on the surface he is the shopkeeper of this paper shop.
The young man from before was called Chu Feng, and he was just a shopkeeper under Chen Shanyuan.
In fact, behind his back, he is also the only person in this world who knows Chu Feng's true identity.
Not long after Chen Shanyuan left, Chu Feng walked out of the back hall, there was a trace of blood left on the corner of his mouth, and a faint black gas was filled between his eyebrows.
His steps were even weaker than before, and he sat down on the chair with great difficulty with his pale hands against the wall, and with a trembling hand, he took out the black-covered arrow, took it to his eyes, and put it on the wooden table next to him and closed his eyes, as if he was waiting for someone.
After a while, the lights in the house and the lantern outside the door suddenly flickered, and there was a "boom", and the eyes suddenly fell into darkness.
Immediately after, a strange copper bell sounded from far and near, mixed with the intermittent sound of iron chains, Chu Feng seemed to be commonplace, and slowly opened his eyes.
The wooden door slowly opened, and a gust of wind poured in, causing the paper figures in the room to shake one after another, and in the faint black mist, four tall figures wearing robes and holding paper umbrellas appeared motionless outside the store......
