Chapter 71: The Paper Maker

Du Zhenshan didn't blame me for refining Qiao Wan, maybe in his opinion, the meaning of existence once a person dies is gone.

The perception of many people in the mortal world is that after death, the dust will return to the dust, the dead will eventually die, and all related things will return to zero.

In fact, under normal circumstances, this is the case: after the death of ordinary people, the Yin Si will send ghosts to detain the souls, and after entering the ghost gate, they will wait for the indicators of reincarnation, and then reincarnate.

But the vast majority of people in the yang world don't know about these programs, especially those who are atheists, and they don't believe in these ghosts and gods.

I didn't have anything to talk about with Du Zhenshan, and the sky was slightly bright outside the window, so I was about to leave, but he stopped me.

"Xiao Qi, I can't forget your kindness to my Du family, and now I can't help you like this, I have a piece of family heirloom Gathering Spirit Jade, maybe it will be useful to you."

Du Zhenshan said and took out a small black wooden box from the safe behind him, which was carved with golden auspicious cloud patterns, and was faintly surrounded by a faint aura.

But this wooden box is actually a yin thing, or the kind with a very strong yin qi, and I am very curious about what kind of jade will be placed in such a box.

Du Zhenshan opened the box, and it seemed to be a piece of red jade like blood, about the size of a fingernail, and the blood mist on it seemed to be bubbling with blood.

He said with some reluctance: "My father said, this jade can gather spirits, and it is useless for me to take it if I am not a cultivator, so I will give it to you as a reward." ”

I glanced at the jade in the box, and I couldn't see the texture clearly because of the blood mist around me, but the spiritual power was very strong, and it was by no means ordinary.

I was a little reserved and excused myself, "Uncle Du, I don't dare to accept such a valuable thing." ”

He waved his hand and handed it to me, "Don't excuse me, this is the only thing in my house that seems to be useful to you, take it." ”

"In that case, then I might as well be respectful, thank you Uncle Du."

When I took the box, a thick blood rushed to my face. I took a closer look, and was stunned, where was a piece of jade wrapped in this blood mist, it was clearly a drop of spiritual blood.

No wonder the aura is so strong, it must come from a master of cultivation.

But I didn't tell Du Zhenshan about this, I put away the box and thanked him, "Uncle Du, it's not early, I have to leave first, and I'll visit you later." ”

"Then you go slowly!"

It was the height of summer in the past two days, and the weather was very hot, so after I left the Du family's house, I immediately went to find a place with heavy yin qi, otherwise my little spirit body would not last for a few hours and would be wiped out.

I searched for a long time, and finally locked in the morgue of the Municipal People's Hospital, which has always been extremely yin, and there are many lonely souls and ghosts, which is a very good place for self-cultivation.

As soon as I floated in, I saw several vividly pierced paper figures at the entrance of the morgue, and a coffin at the gate, presumably to be sent to the crematorium.

A woman in her forties was instructing some workers to move paper people, "You should be careful to move these paper people, I specially asked the master of Qiyun Town to tie them, they have spirituality, and you can't afford to pay for them." ”

"Madam, are you talking about Master Qi Huai Qi from Qiyun Town?" The doorkeeper asked.

The woman nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, isn't there only one paper maker left in our Nancheng City, I'm afraid this craft will be lost in a few decades." ”

"No, how can today's young people be as particular as the people of the past. This family left before, and the dojo and the funeral were all the same, but now, a fire has burned down, alas! ”

"Yes, my mother-in-law fought with me all her life before she died, and now she is gone, but I am not used to it. No, I'm afraid that she will be lonely below, so I will tie a few paper figures to her and make a table of mahjong. ”

The two opened the conversation box, and they couldn't stop.

I glanced at the paper man, but he didn't have any aura, but he did tie it well, so I sniffed at the paper man and remembered the address of the paper man.

As soon as the coffin was gone, I crouched in the corner of the morgue and waited for it to get dark.

I never imagined that one day I would have to rest in the mortuary like a lost dog. Looking at the dense refrigerated cabinets around me, I suddenly felt a little desolate.

At this moment, I miss my little brother very much, I want to nest in his arms, feel his care, and I don't know if I can see him for the rest of my life.

As it was dusk, I slipped out of the morgue and looked for Qiyun Town with the breath on the paper figure.

Qiyun Town is very desolate, and the entire town is actually a street lamp, and it seems to be about to go out. The town was shrouded in a mist, and something didn't look right.

The wind is gusting under my feet, and it can be seen that there is a gathering of yin here.

But the strange thing is that there is no yin in this town, and I walked half the street and did not see a single lonely ghost, so I couldn't help but wonder very much.

The smell of the paper man is at the end of the street, but this is not a storefront, and there are all residents next to it. I couldn't tell which house it was, and I couldn't knock on the door.

When he was hesitating whether to go from house to house to take a look, he suddenly heard a rapid coughing sound, which turned the cough upside down.

Immediately, an old voice sounded, "Come in, girl, don't look at the door anymore." ”

“……”

I was stunned, and hurriedly got through the crack in the door, and saw a dry old man standing in the yard. He was really thin, completely skinny, and his back was rickety, but he looked neatly dressed.

Could it be that he is Qi Huai, but it is beyond my expectations?

I stood silent, trying to see if he could see me.

He looked at me and said lightly: "In the middle of the night, what is the girl doing here?" ”

"Uncle, can you see me?" I'm a little nervous, I'm afraid I'm a reclusive master.

He smiled, "It's strange that the girl said that, shouldn't I be blind to you?" ”

"This ...... Presumably you are the famous paper-binding craftsman Qi Huai, right? Since the uncle asked me like this, then I won't hide it, I came to you to ask you to help me tie a paper figure. ”

"What, someone in your family died?"

"No, I died on my own!"

I thought Uncle Qi would be shocked when he heard this, but I didn't know that he smiled lightly, and said: "The girl is a strange person, come to tie a paper figure for herself, do you want to borrow yourself?" ”

I was speechless, I didn't think that this Qi Huai even knew about borrowing, I'm afraid it was not as simple as just a master.

This borrowing technique is a very difficult technique to perform in the ghost path, which is to possess the body with an object similar to the deity, and then apply the method of blinding, which can achieve the purpose of borrowing the corpse to return the soul.

This is not a forbidden technique, but it is not advocated, so generally ghost cultivators who practice the art of ghost paths will not. As for me, I naturally learned it from "Qiankun Yin and Yang Jue".

The reason why I wanted to find a paper figure stand-in was because I was worried that my little spirit body would not last long if it was corroded by the breath of the yang world. Wearing a paper figure can not only block this yang energy, but also move during the day, killing two birds with one stone.

At the moment, I was a little uneasy to be poked by a papermaker.

He said again: "Girl, it's not cheap for me to tie paper here, how much money do you have?" ”

"I don't have any cash for the time being, if you really want money, I can find a way to get you some."

I've never done anything like stealing chickens and dogs, but ...... You shouldn't be damned if you do it once in a while, right?

Qi Huai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hehe, that's not necessary, if the girl has nothing to do, she can help me work here for a few days, and offset the money." ”

I saw that he didn't seem to be joking, so I nodded, "Okay, then you can help me tie it, and I'll work for you!" ”

"What kind of girl do you want to pierce, is it the way you are now?" Qi Huai looked at me carefully and shook his head, "It's a little difficult, girl, your face is too handsome, I'm afraid I won't be able to pierce it in four or five months." ”

I don't have time to do it in four or five months. Besides, I can't tie a paper figure that is exactly like what I am now, after all, there are many people in the Six Realms who hate me.

I thought about it for a while, and drew what I used to look like in the Yin and Yang realm, so that I didn't feel disgusted when I looked at it myself, and I didn't feel disgusted when others looked at it.

Qi Huai took me into his paper-binding room, a very large room, where there were all kinds of face masks, human skeletons made of bamboo, and colorful paper.

He stared at these bamboo shelves for a long time, and shook his head with some embarrassment, "Girl, I'm afraid these mortal things are not worthy of you." ”

"It's okay uncle, I don't mind!"

I'm afraid that Qi Huai won't give me a paper man, and I really won't be able to survive for a few days.

He frowned and said, "Girl, I have a very special material here that can be used to make bones and skin, but it must be the girl's birthday." Also, the paper figure made of this material is too powerful, if the girl makes a mistake when she is possessed, it may be wiped out, do you dare? ”
