The moonlight outside the window, intertwined with the flickering lights in the room, and accompanied by Professor Shan's strange story, gave me goosebumps all over my body, but what puzzled me was: what is the connection between Professor Shan's story and what happened today?

Madman Six and his cousin didn't say a word, and listened very carefully, at this moment, suddenly the door opened, and we were all frightened, and when we looked closely, we found that it was Old Man Yuan.

Since Xuan Heng's death, Old Man Yuan has been hit hard, his spirit seems to have collapsed all of a sudden, as if he has lost his soul, it is no wonder that Xuan Heng has been the spiritual pillar of their family for several generations, but now it has been burned to ashes, how can Old Man Yuan not be in pain?

It was for this reason that we didn't disturb him, and he rested in the east room. But for some reason, why did he come over suddenly? Could it be that the qiē that happened in the courtyard just now alarmed him, and we quickly asked him to sit down.

In the past two days, Old Man Yuan has aged a lot all of a sudden, and before we could speak, I heard him sigh, and then said in an unusually heavy tone: "Actually, I saw everything that happened in the yard just now, especially that strange paper man. ”

As soon as Old Man Yuan said these words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and before everyone could come back to their senses, they heard Old Man Yuan continue: "That burning paper figure is actually not made of paper at all, but a human skin - and a specially treated human skin. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone in the room was surprised, especially Professor Shan, who originally thought that he knew this kind of paper figure best, but he didn't expect Old Man Yuan to know better than him, and concluded that the paper figure was made of human skin, which was really amazing!

"Old man, how do you know? Was that paper figure really made of human skin? Although I know a certain amount about paper figurines, I have never heard of them. Professor Shan looked at Old Man Yuan and asked with a look of surprise.

Old man Yuan sighed softly, in the dim light, the old face, even more wrinkled, and a sad face, he stared at the courtyard outside the window, with his low and slightly hoarse voice, slowly spoke: "Do you remember the human skin hanging on the tree? ”

Of course, we remember the human skin, and we also know the ins and outs of those human skins, and Professor Shan has also let the human skin possess him, but how can the burning paper figure in the courtyard be made of human skin?

Old Man Yuan paused slightly, and then continued: "You all know just now, when that paper figure was burned, there were no ashes, and nothing happened after that, but do you know? Now everyone is facing danger, and this danger is brought by the paper man. ”

As soon as Old Man Yuan said this, everyone was taken aback again.

Old Man Yuan continued in a calm voice: "Because after that paper figure is burned, we will all be in a state of hallucination, and when we are in this state, in the night, if someone wears a brown clothes, we will not be able to see, so let's look outside-maybe there are several people standing in the courtyard outside, and we can't see it, because they are wearing a brown clothes." ”

Hearing Old Man Yuan say this, we were even more terrified.

Oh my God, that paper figure could do this? It's incredible. Could it be that when it burns, it will affect the optic nerve so that the eye cannot see?

While I was thinking wildly, I suddenly noticed that Xiao Lei quickly grabbed a few needles from the side, and then took a bamboo tube - those needles were used by Mr. Chen's wife for needlework; And the bamboo tube is used to wrap needles and threads.

What is he going to do?

Before I could understand, I saw Xiao Lei stuff a few needles into the bamboo tube, and then quickly came to the window, stuffed one end of the bamboo tube into his mouth, and blew it outside, a few needles flew out, almost at the same time, I heard a scream outside, and then the cup on the stone table in the yard fell to the ground, but strange people, we couldn't see a person!

All the people in the room were shocked, could it be that what Old Man Yuan said was true, after the paper figure was burned, our vision changed, someone put on brown clothes, but we couldn't see it? We can't believe it, but Xiao Lei's tentative blow needle just now proved that what Old Man Yuan said was right.

After a few thunderbolts, it soon quieted down, and Xiao Lei shouted loudly again: "We saw you, where are we going?" ”

We all know that he is just "shouting", but it is still quiet outside, there is no movement, it may be that after such a toss, those who we can't see are likely to have run away, everyone is a little relieved, but still a little panicked, Kenya quickly plugged in the door from the inside.

And Old Man Yuan seemed very calm, it seemed that Xuan Heng's death had indeed hit him hard, and he had aged a lot all of a sudden.

"It seems that what Old Man Yuan just said is true, there are indeed people in the yard, but we didn't see it", Xiao Lei said with a solemn face.

"It's hard to imagine that after that paper figure is burned, someone is wearing brown clothes, and we can't see it?" Kenya was even more surprised, as if she was talking to herself, and as if she was asking everyone. At this time, everyone turned their eyes to Old Man Yuan, hoping that he would explain further.

Originally, I thought that Professor Shan knew the paper man best, but it didn't seem to be the case, the secret of the paper man, maybe Old Man Yuan really understood.

Old man Yuan's expression was unusually calm, he took a sip of water, and then sighed deeply, before he continued: "Actually, if I hadn't seen this with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it, in the manuscript of Xuanheng's predecessors, this kind of paper figure was mentioned before, and he said that this kind of paper figure first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period.

At that time, there were several small countries in our area, of course, the scale of such small countries was actually very small, maybe just a radius of dozens of miles. Among these small countries, there is a bigger one, called Ji country, Ji country is not only a relatively large country, but also very powerful, ambitious, next to the small country, one by one was swallowed by it.

The reason why Ji is strong is because the national army of Ji is very capable at that time, so these small countries got together and discussed, they analyzed the form, and agreed that as long as the king of Ji is killed, Ji will be in chaos, so that not only can Ji not destroy other countries, but even itself may not be able to protect, but how can you kill the king of Ji country?

Later, they spared no expense and finally inquired about a Taoist priest, who was in a Taoist temple in the mountains, and no one knew how old he was, only that he was from Zhongyuan. I heard some old hunters in the mountains say that when they met Taoist priests when they were children, the Taoist priest looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, and when these old hunters were sixty or seventy years old, the Taoist priest still looked like he was in his forties, that is, the age of the Taoist priest seemed to remain the same.

Later, some people said that this Taoist priest would refine the elixir, and that the elixir could prolong life, so there were more than ten robbers who went to the Taoist temple and asked the Taoist priest to refine the elixir for them.

What people didn't expect was that the more than ten robbers were all subdued by the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest was also extremely ruthless, he first picked out the eyeballs of the more than ten robbers and ate them, and then threw the robbers into the valley to feed the wolves.

After more than a year of investigation, I slowly learned that the Taoist priest was a Jiangyang thief, killed countless people, and had a unique skill, and then somehow, he suddenly became a Taoist, and it was said that the Taoist priest was at least a hundred years old, but no one knew how old he was.

The monarch of several small countries went to the Taoist priest in person, and gave the Taoist priest a lot of beauties and countless money, and the Taoist priest was finally tempted and promised to help the monarch of these small countries to kill the monarch of Ji Guo, and sure enough, a month later, the monarch of Ji was really killed, and Ji Guo was really in turmoil at home, and he was no longer able to annex the surrounding small countries.

But the kings of these small countries have killed the Taoist, because they feel that the Taoist is too dangerous, as long as he wants to kill whomever he wants, he can definitely do it, no matter how many troops you have, it is useless. So, in the middle of the night, several monarchs sent more than 30 first-class masters to sneak into the mountains and go to the Taoist temple to prepare to kill the Taoist priest, but for some reason, they pounced.

Not only did he not kill the Taoist priest, but he was killed by the Taoist priest, and only one person survived, and the person was half frightened to death, and when he came back, he told about this strange experience.

More than 30 of them first-class masters, after a day of observation, at night, in the bright moonlight, obviously saw the Taoist priest into the house, so, immediately began to act, just as they surrounded the house where the Taoist priest lived, suddenly, appeared from the house fluttering, out of a thing, they fixed their eyes, it turned out to be a paper man, these masters were surprised, suddenly, the paper man suddenly burned, and soon burned out.

These killers were stunned by this sudden scene, and before they could figure out what was going on, suddenly a few people's heads were cut off for no reason, and they rolled to the ground, these killers have killed countless people, and they have seen all kinds of scenes, but they have never seen this strange situation, and when they have not fully reacted, their heads have rolled to the ground.

Only the surviving killer reacted relatively quickly, and because he was on the outermost periphery, he fled back in a hurry, and he never knew why those masters were cut off, it was like hell. After hearing this, the monarchs were even more terrified, but after about half a year, these monarchs were also cut off their heads one by one.

When they were killed, they all had one thing in common, they both saw a burning paper figure first, and then, for some reason, their heads were cut off. “
