Qi Huai sat at the door of the paper figure shop and smoked two pots of dry tobacco before leaving, his hands behind his back and his back staggering. Fortunately, the three flowers on his top are very prosperous and he is a long-lived person.

After he left, I sat alone by the window and stared at the silk silk in my hand.

I am very familiar with my brother's handwriting, the dragon flying and the phoenix dance is vigorous and powerful, this must have been written by him himself. Moreover, who in the ghost world would dare to use his name to falsely preach the holy decree?

I can't figure it out, why would he do this to me?

"Qiqi, I will guard you for the rest of your life."

"I will always be there for you, all my life and ......"

"You are a pawn of this king, there are thousands of women who admire this king in this world, what are you?"

My mind is intertwined with all the words that my little brother has said, past life, this life, every sentence and every word I remember clearly. I never believed that my little brother would do that to me, I didn't believe it.

Someone must be bewitching him, yes.

I inadvertently glanced at the soul lock bell on my wrist and found that the little eunuchs were still inside, and I was stunned for a moment. So I did go on a trip to the palace, and I was refined into a fine yuan by the Qiankun talisman.

But why can I still be attached to the paper man and move freely, could it be that Qi Huai saved me?

I couldn't figure it out, so I summoned all the little eunuchs out. Except for Little Bean, the other six were covered with arrows, like a hedgehog.

It took me a long time to pull out the arrows, but those wounds couldn't heal, and I needed some spiritual power. I put them in the soul lock bell for the time being, leaving Xiaodouzi alone.

He knelt down in front of me with a thud and looked at me with teary eyes, "Seventh Princess, why did you become like this?" ”

"Don't cry, get up and talk. Tell me, what happened to the palace recently, how could Shen Li live in the East Palace? ”

"This ......" Xiaodouzi wanted to speak and stopped, as if he was afraid of something. I glanced at him with disgust, and then he said again: "I heard from Gonggong Xiao that the king ordered her to stay in the East Palace." ”

"Why?"

Father-in-law Xiao didn't elaborate, and the little ones were curious and secretly went to the East Palace to take a look. found that the king had set up a blood array in the East Palace, and also sent eight paper figures, all of which were written in the eight characters of the seventh princess's birthday. ”

So Qi Huai didn't lie to me, it was indeed the little brother who ordered him to tie eight paper figures. It seems that his care for Shen Li is not fake, it is all from the bottom of his heart.

I didn't dare to ask any more, for fear of hearing more unacceptable things.

So I put the little bean into the soul locking bell, thinking about finding a place to get some low-level lonely souls and wild ghosts for them to eat and heal when I go back later.

I had just collected my thoughts when I heard the sound of my feet clattering on the snow outside the door. I quickly looked in, and it was a ghostly dwarf looking at the door.

I was so familiar with this dwarf that I was stunned for a moment before I remembered that he was the small vendor I had seen selling soul slashing blades in the ghost market before.

He didn't know what he looked like when he was wearing a mask, but now he could see clearly, he was about two feet tall, with a small body, a large head, and a very prominent forehead.

But the most prominent thing is his fiery red cockscomb hairstyle, which is really flamboyant. This man looks most like a ghost, but he is not a ghost.

"Little brother, is Qi Huai here?" The dwarf looked at me meaningfully, and then said, "Should I call you girl?" ”

I can actually see my real body, and I must be a master.

I hurriedly got up to greet him, "Sir, do you know Uncle Qi?" He was a paper man at home, and I was a small worker hired by him to guard the shop here. ”

"Hehe, Qi Huai and I are doing both yin and yang business, so we naturally know each other."

This dwarf did not hide his identity, I was a little impressed, and said with a smile: "Then sir, please come in, which paper figure do you want?" ”

"I want a woman, the kind that looks like a flower."

"Uh...... Okay, then look at it, the women in our store are all here, you can buy whichever one you like. ”

I led the dwarf to see a few paper figures, and he looked dissatisfied, "Tut-tut, these are so ugly, aren't there any more pretty?" ”

"Is this okay? But the uncle refers to the paper figures tied by the four ancient beauties, you look at this Diao Chan, and this Xi Shi, and ......"

"I want one like this."

The dwarf smiled meaningfully, and took out a portrait from his body, which turned out to be Shen Li wearing a phoenix crown and a xia veil.

I pretended to be ignorant and looked at the portrait for a long time, "Oh, this is a portrait of a woman from that dynasty, she looks really handsome." ”

He smiled mysteriously and said, "Beautiful, right? This is the beloved concubine of the Hades, the all-powerful Hades King Xiao Yige in the underworld. ”

This dwarf is so bold that the Hades King dares to provoke him.

I pretended to be startled and said hurriedly, "Really, really? You dare to provoke the beloved concubine of the Hades King, aren't you afraid that he will seek revenge on you? ”

"Oh, it's also a ghost under the peony flower, since I saw her under the Huangquan Thousand Feet, I have never forgotten it. Since you can't think about it, you can just make a paper figure. ”

Seeing the dwarf's fascination, I decided to knock him out, "Sir, the customized version of the paper figure is precious, and you have to pay a deposit first." Since this is the beloved concubine of the Hades King, at least a thousand yuan in advance must be paid first. ”

"A thousand, so expensive?"

"It's still a deposit!"

The dwarf hesitated a little, looking down at Shen Li's portrait with fascination. I wasn't in a hurry, I sat on the side and waited for him to think about it, and I accidentally glanced at a knife hanging from his waist.

The Soul Slashing Blade, which I have seen in the ghost market before, is definitely a good knife that cannot be found.

So I pretended to talk to him, "Sir, has you been to the land of a thousand feet of Yellow Springs?" Is that beautiful? ”

"The earthly mansion that never sees the light of day is naturally not beautiful, but the dark iron produced there is incomparable to the Six Realms, and the weapons made are all first-class goods."

The dwarf said and took out the Soul Slaying Blade, and said proudly, "My pinnacle, how is it?" ”

"Looks good, but it should be expensive, right?"

"That's it!" The dwarf swung his knife a few times, and I heard a soft sound like cutting something, and he put away his knife and raised an eyebrow at me proudly, "Even the wind can cut it." ”

I did see a few shallow cracks in the air, left by the Blade of the Dead, indicating that it had not only reached the point of sharpening iron like mud.

Good knife, my heart is moved.

I said insincerely: "Sir, you are too exaggerated, such an unsightly thing can still cut the wind, you lie to the ghost, right?" ”

"Girl, my knife can cut the soul of all things, what is the wind? Otherwise, how about I take a knife and exchange it with you for a paper figure? ”

"Well, I have to think about it carefully, after all, Hades' concubine is not easy to mess with."

"Tell you that my soul-slaying blade is made of black iron under the thousand feet of Huangquan, forged with the samadhi true fire of the demon world, and then tempered with seventy-seven and forty-nine souls of the Yin, do you say it is powerful?"

The dwarf stroked his cockscomb head in high spirits, and said: "Under the whole world, within the Six Realms, only the demon-slaying sword of Luo Lingxiao, the originator of Taixuanmen, can be compared to my soul-slaying blade. ”

Taixuanmen, isn't this my master's disciple in my previous life?

I glanced at him lightly, "Isn't it a big loss for you to exchange paper people?" ”

"No, didn't I say it, it's also romantic to die under the peony flower, and among the six realms, only Qi Huai's paper man can confuse the real with the fake, it's worth it."

I saw that this dwarf was crazy for Shen Li, so I agreed to him and asked him to come here in three days to pick up the paper man. However, I was afraid that he would regret it, so I took away his Soul Slayer Blade first.

As soon as the dwarf left, I closed the shop and hurriedly rode a tricycle to Qihuai's courtyard.

It was midnight and the snow was falling heavily.

The streets were deserted, and occasionally one or two drunks staggered by, like ghosts. The day after tomorrow is July 15, my mother's death day, and it is also my birthday.

I vaguely remember the conversation between my uncle and my little brother before, and he said that he was afraid that something big would happen this month. I looked up at the sky, and there was a thick blood light in the inky black clouds, and I was afraid that something big was going to happen.

After returning to the yard and parking the car, I went straight to Qi Huai's production room. It was brightly lit inside, and he must still be busy.

"Uncle, uncle, I'm back!"

I shouted and pushed the door open, but I saw a beautiful paper figure in the room, dressed in a xia veil and wearing a phoenix crown, with the majesty of the world.

This is Shen Li's appearance, shining in the light.
