Xing Ruyi squinted his eyes slightly, and while looking at the pair of delicately made paper figures, he said to Wang San: "Brother Wang, you go back first, I still have some personal matters to deal with in this halfway, and it is not convenient for you to follow." ”

Wang San was also looking at the team at this time, and when he heard Xing Ruyi's words, he shook his head: "I'd better send the girl back, it's late at night, and your girl's house is not very safe." As for the private matters that the girl said, don't worry, when the time comes, I will stand far away, and it will never affect the girl. ”

Seeing that the team of centaurs was getting closer and closer to him, and Wang San was so stubborn, Xing Ruyi had to sigh, glanced ahead with his eyes, and motioned to Wang San: "Brother Wang, have you seen that team of centaurs?" ”

"See! I don't know if it's the rich and noble family, it's already this time, and they still dare to walk around on the street. Wang San said, glancing again. His eyesight is not very good, and when he sees things far away, he will be a little blurry, in the words of later generations, it is myopia.

"Brother Wang, do you really see it clearly?" Xing Ruyi also noticed Wang San's movements, and knew that his eyes were not very good, otherwise, according to the character of ordinary people, even if he was not afraid at this time, he was still playing a small drum in his heart.

"I vaguely saw that it was a team of chariots and horses, but my eyes were not very good, and I looked vague, and I couldn't really see the facial features or anything. Otherwise, you can also know what nobles are coming to this Luoyang City. ”

As soon as Wang San's words were finished, a string of paper money floated above his head. This paper coin is much smaller than usual, the size and specifications are the same as ordinary copper coins, and the cut is more detailed.

Wang San squinted, took a look, and said, "This year, why is it snowing so early!" ”

When he reached out to catch a piece of paper money and saw that it was real, he exclaimed: "How is this paper money?" Could it be that there are still mourners in the middle of the night? ”

"It's not a funeral, it's a yin person's excuse." Xing Ruyi pointed to the paper man who was about to walk to him: "Brother Wang, you can see clearly, what are the first two things leading the way?" ”

Wang San rubbed his eyes, rubbed his eyes again, and then said suspiciously: "How can I look at that man who looks like Wang Cheng?" ”

"Wang Cheng!" Now it's the turn of the punishment Ruyi, "Have you read carefully?" ”

"It's just a bit like, but not him. Wang Cheng's eyebrows and eyes are not so hard, but the shape of his face and mouth are still quite similar. ”

"It's Wang Shu!" Xing Ruyi looked at the paper figure carefully, the man on the left and the woman on the right, and the one on the left was obviously dressed as a martial artist. Wang Fu also mentioned that Wang Shu's appearance is very tough, and he has experience as a soldier, and even once achieved the position of a vanguard general. The paper man on the right, with bright eyes and bright teeth, is dressed ordinary, and a trace of black line can be faintly seen on the neck, the black line should represent the strangulation marks, if you are not mistaken, the female paper man on the right should represent purple jade.

"Paper Man! It's a paper man! Oh my God, it's the first time I've seen a paper figure walk at night! Wang San finally saw the true body of the lantern man clearly, but his reaction surprised Xing Ruyi. He was a little scared, but more curious. Even, if it weren't for Xing Ruyi stopping him, he would have rushed over and carefully studied where the paper man's walking mechanism was.

Here, Xing Ruyi had just stopped Wang San, and in his ears, Wang San's next question came: "Miss Ruyi, do you say that this paper figure needs a lantern when walking?" Could it be that this paper man's eyes can also see? ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw two paper figures leading the way, who had already turned their eyes around.

Wang San was startled, a man more than seven feet tall subconsciously hid behind Xing Ruyi. Xing Ruyi bowed his head and was very speechless about Wang San's actions. Perhaps realizing that his behavior was inappropriate, Wang Sanyu hesitated, stood on the side of Xing Ruyi again, and whispered, "Miss Ruyi, did you see it just now?" The paper man's eyes will roll? Could it be that they are alive? ”

"A paper man is a paper man, how can it be alive. At best, it's just a small trick used by people behind the scenes to scare and scare people. Xing Ruyi said, and with a light finger of his hand, the paper man's eyes turned back.

"The so-called yang does not take the yin road, and the yin does not borrow the yang road, this rule, is there someone who does not understand?"

A gust of cloudy wind rose from the ground, Xing Ruyi blocked his eyes with his sleeves, and looked along the direction of the wind, only to see that in the middle of the eye of the wind, there was a coffin of mahogany, and a delicate woman was sitting on the top of the coffin. Looking at his age, he is only about thirty, and his red lips look very dazzling even in the night, and the whole person is charming and very enchanting.

"Could it be that Shopkeeper Gu is back?" Xing Ruyi looked at the woman, and suddenly remembered the female owner of the coffin shop mentioned in Wang San's story. Although the age is a little wrong, but since I have seen it, Xing Ruyi has looked down on age. Now in this prosperous Tang Dynasty, there are not only royal power and wealth, but also demons and evil rampant, maybe you will meet ten people on the street, one of them is a demon who has achieved cultivation.

As for whether Gu Anniang has become a demon cultivator, or whether a person has become a demon in the Demon Dao, let's not mention it, just those two paper figures are enough for Xing Ruyi to guess her body.

When the four eyes met, the paper man carried the coffin and stopped in front of Xing Ruyi. Xing Ruyi looked up at the bewitching woman, and said to Wang San behind him: "The night is high and the wind is dark, and there is no need for Brother Wang to send him off on the way back." ”

"You're Wang Fu's son, right? He looks three or four points similar to your father. The woman changed her posture, lying in a bewitching position, with a pair of good-looking eyes, and swept Wang San lazily: "Don't worry, for the sake of my past friendship with your father, I won't be difficult for you." Listen to this girl's words, tonight's night is windy and dark, and it is not suitable to give it away, so you better go back quickly! ”

Wang San's throat was surging, and he wanted to hold on strongly. After all, Xing Ruyi was invited by him, and if he threw the other party down at this time, it would be a little unreasonable. But at this time, the eyes of those paper figures turned around again. Wang San's feet were weak, he subconsciously turned around, and stumbled back into the alley while he still had some strength in his body.

Seeing Wang San return to the alley, Xing Ruyi put all his attention on the woman.

"Gu Anniang?"

"I am!"

"Human or demon? I can see that although you are full of yin, you don't have any ghostly energy. ”

"As for what I am now? With all due respect, I have no comment, because of this answer, I also want to know. I can only answer the girl, Gu Anniang used to be a person, a living, hot person. Gu Anniang said, sat up, supported the coffin board with both hands, and swept her eyes around Xing Ruyi: "If Anniang didn't admit her mistake, the girl should be surnamed Xing, and she has a very nice name, called Ruyi." ”

"Yes, I'm Xing Ruyi!"

"There is a way to be famous is better than to meet, the Ruyi girl is the opposite, this real person is no different from the rumored."

"Is that a compliment to me?" Xing Ruyi said, walked up to the paper man, and took a look: "Is this paper man pierced by An Niang herself?" The craftsmanship is good, and it is vivid. It's just that using spells to ingest the souls of the living to provide for the paper people to drive, Anniang, aren't you afraid of God's curse? ”

"The torture girl asked, if An Niang is afraid, how can she do this trick, since she has used it, it is a curse of heaven or a curse of the earth, the big deal is that the body is dead and the body is destroyed, and the soul is scattered. For An Niang, it is not necessarily a bad thing. Gu Anniang said, and also jumped down from the coffin board, and her fingers gently swiped over a paper figure beside her: "Just now the girl praised me for my good paper-making skills, to put it mildly, Anniang's skills are ancestral."

I think back then, when my father was still there, all the funeral sacrifices in Luoyang City must have been bought from my family. It's a pity that An Niang is a woman, and she is a little uncompetitive, except for the craftsmanship of this paper man, the people next to her are mediocre. This is not as good as the torture girl, I heard that you are proficient in everything, especially good at exorcism and demon hunting. ”

"It's an exaggeration, Ruyi is just a rouge gouache shop." Xing Ruyi said, hooking his lips and smiling: "As for this exorcism and demon hunting, one looks at the mood, and the other looks at the opportunity, if you meet the kind of person who is not on the road, catch it easily, it should be regarded as cultivating sentiment." ”

Xing Ruyi said, hooked his backhand, and grabbed Gu Anniang's neck.

Gu Anniang's eyes were cold, her body retreated backwards, and the whole person looked light, as if she was stepping on a gust of wind.

"It's quite slippery!" Xing Ruyi said, and also chased two steps, and was about to catch up with Gu Anniang, but suddenly stopped. Then he turned around and hit the coffin directly.

"Bang!" With a sound, the coffin fell to the ground, and the four paper figures carrying the sedan chair, you look at me, I look at you, they are all stunned.

"What are you doing!" Gu Anniang roared in a cold voice, and the paper people brushed together and came around Xing Ruyi.

"Tsk! So many paper people beat me up, and it really makes people panic. However, I have heard that paper figures are afraid of fire, so I wonder if my ghost fire, which I borrowed from hell, has the same miraculous effect. Xing Ruyi said, a wisp of ghost fire ignited in his fingertips, and his flexible body was as if dancing in the paper world, quickly burning the dark blue ghost fire to the paper man's body.

Woohoo! Let's do it!

The paper people quickly ignited, and in order to survive, the four paper men had to walk around in the team, and even wanted to find Gu Anniang to survive, but unfortunately, Gu Anniang, who had a cold face, was in no mood to care about them at this time. After only a short period of effort, these lifelike paper figures were burned to the ground, and the remaining souls were also scattered in the air, and when the sun rose, these remaining souls would also be burned out.

"Unexpectedly, the proprietress of the Ruyi Rouge Shop is still a ghost in the underworld." Gu Anniang looked at the paper man in that place, although she had a cold face, she didn't release more emotions: "Since you are a ghost, you should follow the rules of your underworld, so you can burn these souls to death in such a hurry, and you are not afraid of the one underground?" ”

"Hold me accountable? Why! Xing Ruyi spread his hands: "First, the soul of the living person was taken away by you, and it was also placed in the body of this paper man, and it has nothing to do with me." Even if the underworld investigates it, if you want to kill or scrape, and you will be sentenced to the eighteenth layer of hell, you can only be the culprit. Second, these paper figures were obviously driven by you to besiege me, even if I carry the sign of Hades, I also have the task of assisting in the detention of souls, but when danger comes, self-protection is the first priority. Therefore, those actions just now can only be regarded as legitimate defense, even if the underworld is not happy, it can't say anything about me. There is also a third point, and the most important point, which tells you that I am a ghost messenger of Hades, and I need to obey the orders of the King of Hades, that is, the King of Ghosts? ”

"You" As soon as Gu Anniang opened her mouth, she obviously felt that her throat was suffocated, and when she opened her eyes again, she found that Xing Ruyi had come to her at some point, and at this time, the hands that were used to rouge gouache were pinching her throat: "Sure enough, this paper talent is Gu Anniang's most attentive work, but unfortunately, it will soon be burned to ashes." ”
