Chapter Forty-Four: The Jade Girl of the Paper Tie
"Huh?" Qian Yu saw that I was halfway through my speech, and I also turned my head away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
She was silent, and the three of us fell into a moment of stillness...... Facing the eyes of the paper girl for a long time, the paper girl opened her cold black and white eyes, smiled with a mouthful of red lips and cracked teeth, and held a set of paper porcelain tea sets in her hands, without moving......
The sound of swallowing saliva came from her left ear, and she squeezed behind me and whispered, "Is she originally facing us?"
My lips trembled, and my eyes were fixed on the face of the paper girl, "I don't know, I think I just ...... She's not." I shouted in an airy voice.
I'm not a person who is afraid of ghosts, as long as I don't do anything wrong, I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. This is the concept that the family has given since childhood, as long as the heart is open-minded, there is nothing to fear. It stands to reason that there is nothing to be afraid of, but we are now strictly speaking of trespassing on private houses, and our position is a bit untenable.
Suddenly, the driver stretched out a handful to cover my mouth, and his snort instantly mixed with the smell of smoke in his hand, and then he hit the light of the flashlight on the face of the jade girl, there are not many windows in this imperial building, and the sunlight outside is blocked by most of the window paper, and the light thrown in is dim and foggy, and the room is dark enough, and now all the light sources are focused on this jade girl, and the surroundings are suddenly much darker.
Ziche glanced at me and Qianyu, and when we were quiet, he gently picked up a paper bowl on the table and threw it into the air, and the paper bowl rolled to the ground with a rustling sound. Ziche motioned with his hand to pay attention to the direction of the paper girl, and I held my breath and stared at the exaggerated blush of her pale face, not daring to blink my eyelids.
The moment the paper bowl rolled on the ground, the eyes of the paper girl slowly moved to the direction of the paper bowl, and then the whole body moved in the direction of the paper bowl bit by bit, and the paper bowl rubbed against the ground with a slight sound, and the paper girl moved very slowly, but he was indeed moving, with a cracked mouth and a smirk.
At this moment, the air around me seemed to condense into frost, and I broke out in a cold sweat with my palm, pressing my wrist with one hand, trying to suppress the uncontrollable and crazy pulse. Qian Yan turned to look at me, and her pale face told that she had never encountered such a thing. I don't think it's scary for them to be alive, and it's a big deal to kill it, but it's not too optimistic to come across something that doesn't breathe but moves.
Ziche saw that the paper girl stopped, and then threw paper bowls, paper chopsticks and other things to make a sound, only to see that the paper girl moved closer again, making a slight mechanical sound.
Instantly, a gust of wind flew over my head and stabbed in the direction of the paper bowl.
When the flashlight shone through, it turned out to be a crossbow arrow.
I immediately looked up behind the crossbow arrows, and there seemed to be a number of crossbows hidden in the top flower pane, and my eyes swept up along the position of the crossbows, and I was surprised to find that the top of the board was covered with dense black silk threads, and then I looked closely at the bottom of each silk thread holding a crossbow bow, and these black threads finally extended together into a bundle and connected to the top of the paper jade girl's head. No wonder the windows in this imperial building are so few open, if you are in the bright spot, this mechanism will be exposed.
In fact, this arrangement is not difficult to notice, but we are all being sucked up more attention by the whole paper object.
"Huh! It's a mechanism, it scares me." As soon as I realized that it was a mechanism, my whole expression relaxed a lot, and the heart that was choking on my throat returned to its original position.
Ziche slowly moved to the back of the jade girl, pulled out the short dagger and wanted to break the silk thread of the traction mechanism, but he didn't know that the black silk string on the top was more sensitive than expected, and was plucked by the dagger, and a sharp blade instantly popped out in the thin cracks of the flower windows around the head, and ten thousand arrows were fired at once.
I didn't have time to react when I said it was too late, so I quickly pressed my head down with one hand, and I fell to the ground and didn't dare to move.
I saw Qian Yu jumping to the table without saying a word, volleying a flying body, a god grabbed it, and intercepted a whole crossbow arrow, after seeing this, the car first kicked on the spot, the whole person went to the sky, hooked to the upper beam with one hand, and followed the gap intercepted by Qian Cai, threw his body hard and turned sideways, took off and turned around, and landed safely beside me.
Ziche and Qiancai are like light work, the tacit understanding is so good that there is nothing to say, and the cooperation between the two is impeccable.
I was secretly shocked in my heart, but I also felt inexplicable, how a Tang Dynasty person and a modern person have a heart, this is also amazing. This was the case last time in the Nuwa Cave, and this time it is the same.
"You were so careless, but it's good that the stand in this papier-mâché table is quite stable, otherwise I'll see what you do." Qian Cai flipped off the table, pointed to the car and muttered.
"Okay, I owe you once, okay." Ziche got up, patted the dust on his legs, and said perfunctorily.
"You owe me so much, not to mention this one." Qiancai continued to think about it, Ziche turned his back to Qiancai, threw a ruffian white eye at me, and walked back to the paper jade girl.
The silk strings that restrained the crossbow machine lost its pulling force, and all of a sudden it hung down, hanging on the beam like a long wig, feeling indescribably disgusting. I held back the bile in my stomach and pushed the silk threads towards the car, just in time to see that he did not hesitate to tear off the paper tied by the jade girl.
"What are you doing?" When I saw this, I blurted out and shouted, and my heart said that if it is ruined, there will be retribution.
The paper that tied the jade girl was all torn by Ziche, revealing the copper machinery inside. I could see that the god was unexpected, and I couldn't imagine that the paper man was full of things, and the red copper mechanism was quite complicated, and after looking at it for a long time, I only recognized something similar to a plumb line.
Ziche squatted down and glanced at it a few times and said, "It seems that this thing should be determined by the shaking of the ground, and the light and sound have no effect on it."
"Hah! It's good that it didn't matter, otherwise I wouldn't have been singing when I just spoke." I feel that there is a good home, and I can only rely on luck if I am not a lone person, and I am blessed by my ancestors, otherwise this will be doomed.
The structure of that instrument is extremely exquisite, but unfortunately I haven't studied it, and I can't see a fart for a long time, but I always feel that this ghost thing is similar to a seismograph.
Qian Yu put down her backpack and took out a bundle of nylon rope from it, and neatly bundled the crossbow arrows she had just intercepted into several bundles, and then she stepped on the shoulder of the sub-cart to hook it up, ripped off the paper flower window that was erected outside, and untied the two crossbow bows.
"Hey, wait, I'm going to do it too." I speak up for my rights, and the more weapons there are, the better.
Qian's gaze went down from top to bottom, and his tone felt like a questioning question, "You?"
I looked up and replied, "I joined the archery club for three years when I was studying in Japan, and I was okay."
"A crossbow is not the same as a draw." Ziche said lightly.
"I know, but it's all about aiming, isn't it, could it be that if you draw your bow and you'll have autopilot?" I'm a little impatient.
"Okay, if you have the foundation to talk, then let's familiarize yourself with the device of the crossbow machine, this thing is not difficult."
Seeing what Qian Yan said, he started to disassemble the crossbow hanging on the other side, I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart, although all kinds of signs can confirm that Qian Yan is a modern person, but it is really too strange that her skills are so seamlessly coordinated with the six-door car from the subcar.
I shook my head and told myself not to think too much, there are some things when the time comes, and I will naturally know, just like the car thing.
After she untied the crossbow, she went to pack up other arrows that could still be used, and Ziche taught me how to buckle the crossbow machine. In fact, it's not difficult, after trying a few times, I feel quite handy, I picked up an arrow and put a bow, and I interviewed one on the ground where no one was looking, and its recoil was not small, but it was still carrying. What is jaw-dropping is the penetrating power of the crossbow, and almost half of the arrow body is submerged in the earth, which can be imagined to be lethal.
After packing the food, I threw a bundle to me, and I ordered thirteen sticks. I watched the movement of the car in front of me, and I also carried the crossbow on one shoulder with the crossbow on the arrow.
After tidying up, we began to search back and forth for Feng Xin's possible whereabouts, this imperial residence is not big, it feels like a meaning, but I want to come back, if it is only symbolic, why bother to place these crossbows? There must be something here. I reflexively looked and found that there were no black silk threads on the ceiling of the main hall, so it was obvious that there was no mechanism, so I thought that the importance of the side hall just now must be far greater than the others.
Suddenly an inspiration came to my mind, I turned on my phone, it was still full, and I tried to dial the subcar.
Still doesn't work, but the frequency of high decibels in the mobile phone is very harsh, I endured the discomfort and put the mobile phone to my ear, in the side hall full of black silk around the circle, at this time the mobile phone burst out of the unusually high audio, several times higher than just now, subconsciously took a few steps back, the magic sound gradually slowed down, I stepped back to the point just now, the piercing sound instantly exploded from the mobile phone.
I saw that there was an item in the position, and it was actually a silk hanging scroll, everything here was paper products, and this hanging scroll was silk. I thought I had found it, this was it, so I circled the flashlight around the car and beckoned them to come and tell them what I had found.
The scroll depicts a bright moon and a woman in the sky.
I asked, "This painting...... Is it to express Chang'e's flight to the moon?"
The other two also tilted their heads, not knowing why.
Ziche picked up an arrow and picked up the silk painting hanging scroll by inertia, and investigated what was behind it, but unfortunately there was nothing behind the hanging scroll, and some were paper walls made of pulp and lime.
"Could it be that this painting is meaningful?" Qian Yu asked, pouting.
I looked at this painting, and I couldn't help but commit it again, the hanging scroll was not framed completely, and some of the edge glue alum was wrinkled when it was not brushed.
Afterglow looked at the bottom, "Huh?"
"Did you make a discovery?" Ziche asked softly.
"Hmm." I crouched down and pulled out a strand of long hair from between the drawing pole and the brocade, "This is Feng Xin's hair, right?" I say.
