As soon as he entered the small courtyard at the back, Chen Shiyi smelled a hint of mush, like the smell of burning paper.

Chen Shiyi looked around and didn't see anything suspicious, and there was nothing unusual in the room. The back door of the yard was locked at night, and there was no sign of being moved. Only one or two paper figures were crooked, perhaps blown by the wind, which is a common occurrence.

Could it be that Li Sanjia was frightened by this?

The boy opened the courtyard door, followed the smell of burnt paste and walked into the alley outside, and by the light of the house next door, he found that under the root of the wall not far away, there was a pile of freshly burned confetti, and there was a faint glimmer of sparks. Not long after the Midyear Festival, today may be the death day of the deceased of someone's family.

Chen Shiyi looked around for a while and then returned to the courtyard.

After half a burnt incense, a middle-aged man who looked like a craftsman walked in from the mouth of the alley with a lantern. Walked to the pile of burned paper, fiddled with it a few times, turned out a black bell the size of a pine nut from the ashes, carefully put it away, looked up at the courtyard wall, and finally stared at the wooden signboard of "Qian Ji Baishipu" for a long time, and then turned around and walked back and forth.

……

Chen Shiyi returned to the store, met Xue Zhao's inquiring gaze, shook his head slightly, and sat down again.

"How? Do you see anything? Li Sanjia grabbed the young man's sleeve and asked eagerly.

"I didn't see anything, but two of the paper figures did fall crookedly, maybe by the wind."

When King Wei heard this, he used a folding fan to pick up the hem of Li Sanjia's wet clothes, and teased: "Tsk, that's it?" Tanhualang, you are also the third son of the dignified General Xiao Li's family, and you were born in the door, if this is spread out, where will your father, General Xiao Li's face, go? Hey. ”

Li Sanjia was annoyed and angry: "Who dares, Lao Tzu will destroy him!" ”

Seeing that Xiao Li Tanhua had reached the point where his six relatives did not recognize him, Xu Liang hurriedly poured a glass of wine, pushed it in front of him and said, "Suppress the shock." Then he changed the topic and continued to talk to King Wei about the selection of the flower list.

Li Sanjia drained the glass of wine in one gulp, and his heart was a little determined, could it be that he was really dazzled, shouldn't be, but he couldn't figure out a reason, shook the hem of his clothes, and was about to stand up in irritability, urging in his mouth: "It's getting late, Chen Shiyi has to clean up when he turns around, and he ...... gone."

"No hurry, no hurry." King Wei waved the folding fan and motioned to Xue Zhao to take the gift box and put it on the table: "Speaking of which, today, firstly, is for you two brothers to go to bad luck and come out to relax, and secondly, it is also for you to congratulate the opening of Chen Shiyi's new store, and let this king see what good things you have sent, and it is not too late to leave after reading it." ”

Xu Liang smiled and turned out a black wooden box from it, put it in front of Chen Shiyi, and motioned for it to open, only to see that on the dark green satin inside, there was a silver-gray half-section mask with black light, I don't know what the texture is, the mask outlines the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, flowers, birds, fish and insects, and the workmanship is very exquisite.

"This ...... It's a lot of money. ”

"Hey, it's a lot of money, it's not worth a few dollars. Although the hereditary title was taken away, the face of the Hou Mansion was still there, so I asked the master of the Silver Bureau to beat it. Come on, put it on and try it. ”

Chen Shiyi happily accepted the order and changed the wooden mask on his face, although everyone present had seen the true appearance of the young man, but when he looked at it closely under the candlelight, he would inevitably gasp, I am afraid that it is just the charm of the tree and the mountain.

Li Sanjia shook the folding fan, looked coldly at the hidden smug look on Xu Liang's face, and said with disdain: "You are also a layman." ”

After speaking, he took out a fan from the gift box, and was about to hand it to Chen Shiyi, but was snatched away by King Wei's hand, and while unfolding it, he also mocked in his mouth: "Li Tanhua, a broken fan is also embarrassed to come out to offer treasure...... I'll take it, Chen Qingbo's fan! ”

King Wei looked shocked: "You shouldn't steal your father's study." ”

"Why is it so ugly, can you steal things between literati? This thing is in my father's study, and sooner or later he will use it as a cigarette matchmaker. ”

King Wei was speechless for a moment, so he could only his thumb and pestle in front of Li Sanjia: "You leader!" ”

"Is this fan precious?"

"It's not ordinary! This fan is Chen Qingbo's "Spring Sleep in Lakes and Mountains"! ”

"Is this man famous?"

"The former Song Dynasty court painting academy edict, very good at lakes and landscapes, painting style to quiet and beautiful, artistic conception is known for the distance. If you keep this thing well, it can be passed down to your family. ”

Chen Shiyi listened to it on the side, and wanted to ask how much this fan was worth, but seeing Li Sanjia screaming one by one "layman" next to him, he was embarrassed to speak.

"Vulgar people, vulgar people." Li Sanjia took a sip of wine, smacked his slurp, pulled Chen Shiyi and said, "Don't pay attention to these ordinary people." This folding fan, also known as the waist fan, the folding fan, the folding fan or the poly head fan, is not looking at the fan surface, but actually the fan bone. This fan is made of Xiangfei bamboo, the pattern is strong and heavy, gorgeous and dazzling, it is a rare 'wax bottom purple flower'...... is the so-called sleeve stroke bone; It is also said that a gentleman should hide his weapon in his body and move when the time comes; Easy to choose carefully, once you know the importance ......"

"Stop, stop! The king panicked when he heard this. A fan will tell you so many words. ”

"You and other laypeople, do you know that this fan is also exquisite?"

Now not only Chen Shiyi is interested, but even King Wei and Xu Liang pricked up their ears, this fan is still exquisite?

Li Sanjia took another sip of wine, smacked it in his mouth for a long time, sold enough guanzi, and then said: "This fan was called shaking the wind in ancient times, and if you want to fan the wind, there are different fan methods." The so-called 'bra martial belly monk collar, book mouth sleeve medium fan shoulder', this is the exquisite ...... inside"

After a while, Chen Shiyi opened his eyes today, he didn't expect that there would be so much attention to fanning, and people with different identities would fan different places, but it sounded like that. It is indeed elegant, elegant very.

……

Talking and laughing, I didn't realize that it was already in the middle of the moon, and when I was leaving, Xiao Li Tanhua still couldn't hold back after all, pulled the young man, and complained with palpitations: "Chen Shiyi, can you clean up the paper figure in the future, I actually painted my eyes, it's too crazy, as soon as I turned around, I saw that the paper man was staring at me like this, it scared me to death......"

Chen Shiyi was listening to Li Sanjia's chatter with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his expression instantly became solemn when he heard the words, and he asked quietly through the cover of the mask: "What kind of paper man can still scare you if he clicks his eyes?" ”

"It's the paper man who looks like a child, maybe I'm dazzled, and the paper figure seems to have turned his head...... Don't talk about it, I'll make a fool of myself. ”

After Chen Shiyi saw off everyone, he closed the door, turned off the lights, and closed. When I returned to the backyard, I carefully checked it inside and out, and made sure that there was nothing abnormal, so I entered the wing room and sat under the lamp.

It's weird.

In the past month or so, in addition to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", because his cultivation needs to break seven rounds of self-destruction, he did not dare to act rashly, and the "Non-Attacking True Solution" presented by Mr. Mo has gradually entered a better state. As I wished, "Non-Attacking the True Solution" does have an unexpected role in tempering the body and speeding up recovery. Practicing to a high depth, it can absorb the opponent's attack spiritual power into its own defense, becoming a copper pea-like existence that cannot be cooked or chewed.

may be because of his own physique, this "Non-Attacking True Solution" is like a bamboo in cultivation, and he has not encountered a bottleneck at all. In three months, he had already touched the threshold of the upper half, and the cultivation of the second half could only be carried out until he entered the middle four realms.

The rest of the time, I'm basically figuring out the puppet technique in my dream.

Chen Shiyi was now sure that the cultivation techniques he saw in the dream realm should all be the secret techniques of the upper four realms, and they belonged to the secret of the mountain gate that the secular world longed for but could not obtain.

It's no wonder that every time you need the sword intent that the girl left in her body to induce. And his own realm is low, it is difficult to outline the subtleties and subtleties of the rune array to the extreme, even so, after cultivating for nearly three months, he can only barely draw the rune array twice a day, and the maintenance time is less than ten breaths.

And this puppet manipulation technique is really weird.

On the eve of the opening of the noodle restaurant, Chen Shiyi used blood to light the eyes of the paper man. The current situation is the same as when he was in Yushan, the same is the wind and the chill is suddenly born, the difference is that the paper man really has a ghost into the body, moving his stiff body, and looking at Chen Shiyi intently.

It's one thing to see it in a dream, it's another thing to see it in reality. Rao is Chen Shiyi has been learning the craft of tying color with the money shopkeeper since he was a child, and he was also shocked by the current scene, and his hair stood on end.

The boy forced himself to calm down and sketched out the talisman array. At the moment when the rune array was printed on the paper man, the young man seemed to feel that he had established a clear connection with the paper man, and before he could understand it carefully, the rune array had already dissipated.

Chen Shiyi saw that the paper figure did not move again, so he moved it to the courtyard, and he turned off the lights to rest.

At night, the boy woke up suddenly from a deep sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the paper man had already walked into the house by himself, and was walking towards the bed step by step. was slashed in the face by Chen Shiyi, and his backhand shattered his body.

"Will the paper man back?"

With doubts, the boy kept trying and exploring the puppet manipulation technique in the rest of the following month, under the cover of the color shop. However, he found that the paper figures that were dotted with ink and cinnabar would only be driven by the instinct of the feminine, approaching the living and drawing vitality, and rarely attacking the living; And the paper figure with blood will strengthen the mental connection with the eye-catcher, and take away the vitality even more, but it will not back-eat the eye-catcher. And these two are not conscious and spiritual.

Only the paper man who uses the blood of the boy himself to put his eyes on it,Every time he attacks himself without being controlled.,And,It seems that he also has a bit of intelligence.,Can simply judge the situation.,Will choose to start while you're asleep.。

I know it, but I don't know why.

Chen Shiyi had to stop practicing the puppet manipulation technique. In the final analysis, my own realm is still low. It's just that I've never pierced a paper figure that looks like a child. Li Sanjia swore that where did the paper figure come from.

Wrong! Pierced yourself. It was during the Winter Clothes Festival last year, and the paper man tied in Yushan, the paste paper replaced by big fish bubbles, disappeared after the mole attack. At that time, the world was turned upside down, and there were many scattered and lost things, and I didn't care about it.

Could it be that the little paper figure has come to you?

Chen Shiyi was startled, and then laughed at himself: How is this possible?! Otherwise, it is the cultivation of secret techniques during this period of time, which attracts people's attention.

Not to mention anything else, the neighbors who came to eat noodles have already lamented that in the past few months, the evening has been much cooler than in previous years.
