Chapter 66 The figure model is also a paper figure
According to the above statement in this spell book, the paper man does not have high requirements in terms of materials, as long as the paper made of ordinary natural materials and the inner bone of bamboo are used as materials, you can refine a low-grade version of the paper figure.
However, due to the limitations of the material, this kind of paper figure is not high even after the sacrifice, and at most it can only withstand weaker spirits, and the stronger ones can blow up the paper figures.
Therefore, this kind of low-profile paper man pays more attention to the craftsmanship of production, the more solid, the more exquisite, and the more like a real person, the more spirituality and power it can bear.
If it's a paper-cut ghost kind of side door spell, although he is clumsy, he can roughly cut out a few paper people who look like a gourd, but the paper tie is a complex traditional skill, not an ordinary person who learns art, and you may not dare to say that you have mastered it without two or three years of hard work.
Gao Jingfei said with a headache:
"And even if you settle for the next best, it's hard to replace the complex paper figures with paper-cutting!"
Although it seems that it is as simple as cutting out a few paper figures, if you want to cut paper into a soldier, it is not something that ordinary white paper can do, but a special paper soaked in potion to achieve the effect of carrying spirituality. Changed to ordinary white paper, unless it is directly endowed with spirituality by a powerful person, it is impossible for the spell to succeed.
Therefore, for Gao Jingfei, it seems simple to cut paper into soldiers, but it is more difficult than the paper man refining the psychic paper figure.
"Forget it, I can't do it myself, can't I still spend money to buy it? As long as it is made of natural materials, it can carry spirituality. ”
So he searched the Internet for information related to paper figures.
Then they suddenly found that the traditional paper art of their Xia Kingdom was more ancient and exquisite than they imagined.
In particular, there are still many ancient craftsmen in Jiangnan and other places, and some beautifully made paper works have become works of art and sent to foreign museums for exhibition, which has become news on the Internet.
And when he went to a certain treasure in a store that specializes in selling paper tie supplies, he was shocked.
"Oh, good guy, this paper figure is really not cheap!"
A well-made paper figure costs thousands of dollars a piece, and the traditional paper horse paper car is larger and not cheap.
Even the modern version of luxury cars and home appliances can be tied to the simulation model, and there are customizable local tyrant packages, which are the kind of big villas with many luxury car maids, basically not less than tens of thousands.
Of course, there are also cheap ones, that is, the kind of paper figurines that look inferior at first glance, ranging from eighty or ninety yuan to two or three hundred yuan.
But in Gao Jingfei's opinion, this thing can't be seen at all, just like the difference between a simulated physical doll of tens of thousands of yuan and an inferior inflatable doll of 200 yuan.
The former has soft skin like a real person, and it also comes with functions such as heating and vibration, and the poster in the latter store is very beautiful.
It's the kind of thing that sticks a photo of a female star on your face, and some don't even bother to post the photo, that bloody mouth and abstract face are really miserable, and people lose interest at first glance.
The same is true for Gao Jingfei, he has seen that kind of exquisite paper figures, and he can no longer look down on those cheap and inferior products.
"But that kind of paper figure moves for thousands of yuan, and if you want to customize it privately, it must be thousands of yuan each."
After all, he is only a high school student, and the sum of his pocket money and New Year's money does not exceed a few hundred yuan.
Gao Jingfei was worried about money, but suddenly had an idea.
"Brother Hu, isn't this guy a senior two-dimensional enthusiast, and he still fell out with his family for his model career?"
If you have a problem, look for Brother Hu!
Gao Jingfei thought that since this second brother Guo is so ingenious and can even design and produce those complex figures, it should be no problem to make two paper figures, right?
As for the issue of secrecy, it is just one or two side door spells, just like the previous Five Poison Secrets, Gao Jingfei does not have too many thoughts about secrecy for the eldest brother and the Guo Shihu brothers, and the Guo family brothers are basically tied to their brothers now, and they are not outsiders. What's more, spells are not something that anyone can refine, as long as they don't spread the word.
So he happily took his things and ran downstairs and knocked on the door of Guo Shihong's dormitory.
Guo Shihu was having messy hair at this time, and his face was scruffy, as if he hadn't slept well for several days, but his spirit was very excited.
"Xiaofei, are you here? Just right, come and see, my mixed poison has been refined! ”
Gao Jingfei was a little surprised and concerned:
"Brother Hu, how long has it been since you rested? Don't be in such a hurry, we won't need this mixture for the time being. ”
Guo Shihu scratched his head embarrassedly and said:
"I'm not afraid that you and my eldest brother will be in danger when they go on a mission, maybe they can use it."
Gao Jingfei doesn't care about any mixed poison now, there is a magical spell puppet like a psychic paper man to play, who still plays with poison?
So he pulled Guo Shihu over, showed him the thin booklet, and then said expectantly:
"How about Brother Hu, can you do this paper man?"
Guo Shihu's face flushed with excitement at this time, and he pulled Gao Jingfei and said:
"How did you get this thing? This is a Xuanmen spell, a real spell......"
Obviously, compared with the previous martial arts cheats, a spell book made Guo Shihu even more excited.
Of course, Gao Jingfei couldn't tell the truth, so he just vaguely explained with a white lie:
"In the misty world, I can get some good things that are not available in reality, Brother Hu, you don't care how this thing came about, tell me about this paper man, can you do it?"
Fortunately, Guo Shihu didn't delve into it, out of excitement, he took two deep breaths, then looked at the requirements in the booklet, and said after a while:
"I haven't tried paper figurine, but I use paper to make figures or models, which I am good at. For the inner skeleton, it is perfectly fine to use bamboo instead of resin. ”
This time it was Gao Jingfei's turn to say excitedly:
"Then help me make two, it doesn't need to be too big, just make a few one foot tall for me to try!"
Guo Shihu nodded and went to his cabinet to rummage through it.
When he left home, he brought out all his belongings, except for those precious collectibles that were difficult to carry, which were locked in the display cabinet in his bedroom, and some materials and tools for making model figures were packed and brought over.
If he simply made a few models, he would have ready-made materials at hand, but they were all chemically synthesized kinds, which did not meet the requirements for making psychic paper figures.
After he laid out the toolbox, he said to Gao Jingfei:
"We also need to buy some natural paper and bamboo tendons, and go there as soon as we have time, otherwise the City God Temple will be closed."
Of course, Gao Jingfei nodded again and again, and followed Guo Shihu downstairs. I didn't go to the bus and subway anymore, and in a hurry, they directly called a taxi on their mobile phones and went to the City God Temple.
As a cultural and folk attraction in Jinling area, it is also a must-have area for visiting Jinling, there are many old buildings and alleys around Chenghuangmiao Street, which can be called famous scenic spots, and there are inevitably many snacks and delicacies, as well as shops selling folk goods and tourist commemorative handicrafts.
Of course, the most famous street in the hearts of the locals is the antique calligraphy and painting street, which is like the Liulichang Street in the north of the capital, which is an ancient cultural holy place that retains the essence of traditional culture.
Here you can not only find the four treasures of the study, but also calligraphy, painting, jade, porcelain miscellaneous, there are more gambling stone activities, every holiday, such as the city god out of the sun, the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first month, there are also grand temple fairs and all kinds of exquisite lanterns and lantern riddles and other activities.
It can be said that this is one of the areas where the traditional ancient culture and customs are preserved the most in the Xia Kingdom, attracting a large number of tourists every year.
Guo Shihu is also a local, and studied at Jinling University for four years, and he is very clear about the City God Temple, so he took Gao Jingfei to get off not far from the pedestrian street of the City God Temple that was about to be congested, and then turned left and right, and came to a quieter street.
It is said to be quiet, compared to the crowds on the side of Chenghuangmiao Street, where many people are wandering around the various shops on the street.
Gao Jingfei looked at this small street, which is not wide or long, or it is almost as small as a larger alley, but the buildings here are all the same kind of quaint bricks and tiles, although they are not as bright and beautiful as the decoration on the side of Chenghuangmiao Street, but there is more of a historical charm in it.
If it weren't for the floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors that the shops renovated on the street, he would have thought that this was a return to Jinling City in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
