Chapter 10: Water Ghosts Snatch Souls

Master Zhang's paper-making skills are ancestral, and when Master Zhang was a child, his grandfather used a secret method to open his yin and yang eyes. So when he saw Li Mu and An Zhiquan coming, his face changed. Because Li Mu and An Zhi's bodies were shining with a light that ordinary people couldn't see.

Master Zhang has dealt with the underworld all his life, and he also knows something about the things in the underworld. He also knows about the supernatural events that sometimes happen in the village, and sometimes he can solve them, but his ancestors have a rule, that is, those who make paper cannot participate in it. So everyone thought that Master Zhang was just an ordinary paper artist.

Uncle Li Mu's encounter, Master Zhang has also heard about it, and he also knows that there must be ghosts to worship, but he must abide by the rules of the ancestors, and he can't say or help. But now that he saw Li Mu and An Zhiquan coming, he knew that he might not be able to hide this time.

Master Zhang guarded this old house alone, and he originally wanted to pass on the craft of paper binding to his juniors, but his son was born with no hard characters, so he couldn't touch these things. Now his son works in the city, and his grandson goes to school in the city, and the family comes back on weekends to visit.

Master Zhang let the three of them into the hall and went to pour water. Li Mu took advantage of this opportunity to look at some of the finished paper products placed in the hall. Not to mention, the master's craftsmanship in this chapter is really exquisite. These paper ties not only have some common boys and girls, pavilion courtyards, eight-carrying sedan chairs, but also some modern things. In front of Li Mu, there is a two-story western-style building with a height of one person. There are doors and windows, and Li Mu looked inside from the window and found that even the inside was also available. The stairs are very clear and there are a lot of rooms. In the room, there are not only beds and furniture, but even modern equipment such as televisions and telephones, which can't help but surprise Li Muqi. In addition, next to the building, there is a miniature paper car with a length of one meter. It looks even cooler than some real cars, and it also has a steering wheel or something.

The master of this chapter is not only exquisite, but also the painter, it was originally tied on white paper, but the applause with a pen immediately became vivid, especially the paper man who tied it. The two paper figures standing by the wall, a man and a woman, the figure is the same as normal, after the face was painted by Master Zhang, the handsome man and the woman are pretty, and they really think that there are two people standing there.

The reason why Li Mu and An Zhiquan came to Master Zhang was to ask Master Zhang to tie a paper figure.

"Master Zhang, I can't hide it from you, I hope you will tie a paper figure for us this time, and it will be done tomorrow." After Master Zhang finished pouring water for the three of them, Li Mu directly explained his intentions.

"It's not difficult to tie a paper figure, but I'm afraid it's not that simple for you paper people to tie it!" As he spoke, Master Zhang stared at Li Mu and An Zhiquan with his dark eyes.

Li Mu was also shocked when he heard the words of this chapter master, and he and An Zhiquan glanced at each other, and they also thought in their hearts that this chapter master did not seem to be a simple paper master.

Now that he knew that this lean old man was not an ordinary paper master, Li Mu said more directly: "It seems that Master Zhang has also guessed it, we hope you can help me tie my uncle!" As he spoke, Li Mu took out a pack of cigarettes from his clothes, took out one and handed it to Master Zhang.

Master Zhang didn't answer, pointed to the paper in the room and signaled to be careful of the candle, and then fell silent.

"Amu, what are you talking about, what are you pricking your uncle!" Just when Master Zhang was silent, Li Mu's father felt how his son could say something inexplicable.

"Dad, this matter involves saving the uncle, don't worry about it." Li Mu didn't know how to explain it to his father.

"You kid!" Li Mu's father suddenly felt that his son seemed to have changed, and after coming back this time, he had changed a lot from before. But he thought that living in a big city would definitely change.

Master Zhang was silent for a while before sighing faintly, "That's it, I'll answer this matter." By the way, do you have a picture of your uncle? Also, because the paper figure you want is different, you should be slow in terms of time. ”

As soon as Li Mu heard that the other party agreed, he hurriedly asked his father to go back and get a full-body photo of his uncle. After the photos were brought in, Li Mu explained some things to the paper master and then went back.

On the way back, Li Mu's father couldn't solve the knot in his heart, so he still asked his son. "Amu, Dad has changed a lot when I saw you come back this time. Also, you said that your uncle can save him, but he can't even save the provincial hospital, how can you save it. You tell your dad the truth, are you sure, everyone is counting on you. Also, looking at what you just told Master Zhang, how do you know so many ways? ”

Faced with his father's series of questions, Li Mu didn't know whether to tell the truth to his family, and finally after thinking about it carefully, he still felt that it was better not to tell him, but obviously it was impossible not to give his father an answer today, so Li Mu used the best trick, that is, to betray An Zhiquan.

After listening to his son, Li Mu's father couldn't connect the Taoist priest with the young An Zhiquan in front of him. But since his son is so sure, Li Mu's father will believe it.

Two days later, Li Mu and An Zhiquan retrieved the paper figure that Master Zhang had given him. This paper figure is tied in the style of Uncle Li Mu, and the material used is not ordinary material, but the reeds that grow on the old grave.

This paper figure is what An Zhiquan plans to use for Li Daitao, so this paper figure must be very similar to Uncle Li Mu. This is also why Master Zhang would say that this paper figure is not simple. And in order to be able to confuse the real with the fake, An Zhiquan asked Li Mu to take something from his uncle.

Li Mu followed An Zhiquan's instructions to reduce the small nail of his uncle's left hand and a strand of hair behind his ear, and finally took a little of his uncle's blood. After all these things were ready, the two of them were ready to trick the water ghost into taking the bait.

In the middle of the night, after talking to their families, the two took their things and went to the nearest intersection.

Li Mu set up the paper figure in the middle of the crossroads, and then waited for An Zhiquan to cast a spell.

An Zhiquan put Uncle Li Mu's hair and nails in a bowl, and then took out a spirit talisman drawn with Uncle Li Mu's blood from his body. After lighting the talisman, he threw it directly into the bowl, causing the hair and nails in the bowl to burn. When it was burning, Li Mu saw that the smoke produced flew straight into the paper figure, and it seemed that it was not affected by the night wind at all.

And when all the smoke entered the paper figure, the originally stiff paper figure suddenly felt like it had been injected into the soul, and it actually became a little spiritual, making people look like a real person.

After that, the two hid in a corner and waited for the water ghost to arrive.

At this time, the lights of the whole village were turned off, so except for the glimmer of starlight, it was impossible to see the surrounding scenery clearly. However, since cultivating the Yuan Shen Decision, Li Mu has not only opened his psychic ears and eyes, but his eyesight has also been greatly enhanced, and he doesn't even need to bring his eyes. Now he's staring at the paper figure with wide eyes.

"Tick Tick Tick Tick"

Suddenly, Li Mu heard the sound of water dripping.

"It's coming!" As soon as An Zhiquan heard this voice, he signaled that Li Mu's water ghost appeared.

Hearing An Zhiquan's prompt, Li Mu also glanced around, and sure enough, he recognized that the voice was coming from the direction of the big river. Li Mu looked in that direction, and although he couldn't see the shadow of the water ghost, he could clearly see the wet footprints on the ground.

I can only see footprints but not ghosts, it seems that this ghost's mana is not shallow, and he can hide his body.

The wet footprints kept walking towards the paper man, and only stopped when he reached the paper man. It was only at this time that the water ghost slowly showed his figure, which made Li Mu also see the appearance of the water ghost clearly.

This water ghost was wet all over, and his whole back was lying on his back, which looked like a big monkey that had fallen into the water, but this monkey didn't have those fluff on it.

The water ghost stopped in front of the paper figure and looked at it carefully, as if to confirm whether it was the target. This made Li Mu, who was hiding aside, nervous, for fear that the water ghost would find out that it was a paper man.

However, after looking at it for a while, the water ghost didn't notice anything unusual, so he stretched out his hand that was still dripping water, took the paper man's hand, and then slowly floated into the river together.

After the water ghost left, the two hurried back. After going back, Li Mu asked the family to gather around the uncle without sleeping, so that everyone's yang energy could temporarily isolate the uncle's breath, so that the water ghost could not feel it.

After a peaceful night like this, Li Mu and An Zhiquan breathed a sigh of relief.

Replace Uncle Li Mu with a paper figure, if everything is normal, Uncle Li Mu should be able to wake up in a day or two. The family was overjoyed when they heard it, and hurriedly asked them not to prepare for the aftermath.

Sure enough, in the evening, Uncle Li Mu's breath was smoother and stronger, which couldn't help but make Aunt Li Mu cry with joy.

After dinner, Li Mu and An Zhiquan sat in the courtyard smoking cigarettes and chatting. Because the uncle's matter was solved, the stone in Li Mu's heart was also put down, so both of them seemed very relaxed. Li Mu's father drank a few glasses because he was happy, and he went back to rest before ten o'clock. The two of them chatted and went back to their rooms to sleep.

But soon after Li Mu fell asleep, he heard the sound of ticking water again, and this sound seemed to be very familiar. At first, Li Mu thought that his faucet was not turned off, but when he thought about it now, he was in his hometown, and there would be a dripping sound without the faucet. Then I suddenly thought of the voice I heard last night, and I couldn't help but wake up.

When Li Mu got up, he saw An Zhiquan already standing by the window, looking out. Li Mu hurriedly walked to the window and lifted the curtain to take a look outside, and sure enough, the sound of water dripping came from the direction of the river.

"What's going on?"

An Zhiquan turned his head, and Li Muneng saw that the other party's expression was very serious at this time, and his heart was also abrupt.

"The water ghost has found out!"

"Found out? You're saying the water ghost found out that it was a paper man who took it away! ”

An Zhiquan nodded and said, "It seems that we underestimated the Taoism of this water ghost, and now he finds out that he took away a paper man, I'm afraid he is here to rob the soul." ”

"Soul Snatching!" Hearing An Zhiquan's words, Li Mu couldn't help but be surprised.
