Chapter Ninety-Five: Paper Golems
"Paper golems?"
I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked Wang Feiyang what this was.
Wang Feiyang frowned, and then said that this is a very evil paper-binding technique recorded in the origami war, and this paper-binding technique has been banned for almost half a century, to be precise, after the Anti-Japanese War, this paper-binding technique has been banned, and now if it were not recorded in the origami war, this paper-binding technique would have been lost long ago.
I hurriedly asked Wang Feiyang to explain to me what a paper puppet is.
Wang Feiyang replied that during the Anti-Japanese War, when there was a shortage of soldiers, many young soldiers left their hometowns, their families, wives and children to fight on the battlefield. Many people have never returned, while their families, wives and children are at home day and night looking forward to the return of their husbands, but in the end it is all in vain.
At that time, the paper-binding craftsman who had real skills couldn't see this sad situation, so he thought of a solution. It is this paper puppet technique that allows those soldiers who died on the battlefield to return home and live their last days with their families!
And the practice of this paper puppet is actually to find the three souls and seven spirits of the dead person first. Then forcibly inject them into a paper figure that looks exactly like them, and bring them back to life.
Because within seven days of death, most people would not know that they are actually dead unless it is for special circumstances such as ghosts or evil ghosts. So, if they are given a body that is exactly the same as their own at this time, then they will think that they are still alive.
Of course, to pierce such a body. Must have quite superb paper-binding skills, at least the current Wang Feiyang, absolutely can not tie such a paper figure, at the same time, the material of this paper-tied is also quite special, whether it is the internal organs or the outer skin, the materials made of these are all soaked in special oil, forming a kind of oily skin, this oily skin and the skin of a living person has no difference, so, even if this person becomes a paper puppet, they themselves do not know that their body is not the original one in a short time.
However, with the passage of time. At most, after a month or two, due to all kinds of corrosion or the activities of the paper puppet itself, this layer of grease attached to the paper will begin to corrode and deteriorate, and the effect will become worse and worse, which will eventually lead to the paper puppet's body getting worse and worse, until finally it completely becomes a real paper figure, and at that time, the paper puppet is not far from death.
Hearing Wang Feiyang say this, the doubts that lingered in my heart were roughly solved, no wonder Wang Lun reappeared in the public's field of vision after his death, it turned out that he was made into a paper puppet.
And this kind of paper puppet's paper-binding technique is actually very similar to the resurrection of the corpse in the Huangquan forbidden technique, both of which have achieved the resurrection of the dead, but with different carriers.
I wondered, in this way, the original intention of the appearance of the paper puppet is actually a good starting point, the purpose is so that those soldiers who shed their blood on the battlefield can get along with their families for the last time, so why did it later become a forbidden technique for you to tie paper?
Wang Feiyang replied for two reasons, first, this kind of paper-binding technique has violated the common sense of heaven, just like your grandfather borrowed the corpse to return the soul at that time, and he had broken the rules of reincarnation in the underworld, which is this. It was enough to make this paper-binding technique a forbidden technique.
The second point is that after the war is over, people with intentions will use this kind of paper-binding technique to kill some of their enemies, and in order to avoid legal responsibility, they will use paper puppets to resurrect them again after killing these people, so that after the layer of grease on the paper golem's body fails, they will die in other ways, and then the time comes. The original real culprit will naturally be able to evade legal responsibility.
Speaking of this, it dawned on me that I even knew the real reason for the appearance of the paper puppet Wang Lun. At that time, Wang Lun was killed by the mysterious driver and that monster, in order to cause unnecessary trouble, so they directly turned Wang Lun into a paper puppet, originally it would not be long before Wang Lun would die naturally because of the failure of the paper puppet, but I didn't expect to meet us in half a month, we were also unlucky, and hit the muzzle.
At this time, the doubts that had been haunting my mind before had almost been solved. But when I think of the driver and the mysterious monster in the mouth of the water rat, I feel a faint hairbreak in my heart.
Wang Lun and the water rat met them, was it an accident? Later, we met the paper puppet Wang Lun again in KTV, is this also a coincidence? If it's really all a coincidence, isn't that a bit too coincidental?
Who the hell is that driver and that monster? Why were they used by Wang Feiyang to become a paper puppet of the forbidden technique.
At this time, Wang Feiyang's brows were also tightly wrinkled, and he said that it was definitely not an accident that a paper-binding craftsman who knew how to do paper puppetry suddenly appeared, and logically speaking, although the paper-binding craftsman who carried out this kind of evil magic could circumvent the laws of the yang world, but the underworld. He will definitely not be able to escape such a punishment, once the Yin Si side finds out that there is a paper-binding craftsman using this kind of thing that violates the rules of the Yin Division's life and death cycle, he will definitely send the Yin messenger to hook the soul of the paper-binding craftsman as soon as possible, but...
"You mean, this matter has something to do with the underworld?"
Wang Feiyang nodded, and said If the person who used the paper puppet technique in your mouth at that time had been hooked by Yin Si, it would be nothing, if he is still alive and well. Even if there are still paper puppets in this area, it means that things may be getting bigger.
I was also shocked, saying that after Wang Lun, I had never heard of any paper puppets appearing. However, this must be checked by the police, if it is really as you say, there are two possibilities, the first is that you are too good a paper maker. Yin Si can't do anything about him at all! Another possibility is that Yin Si and this gang are in cahoots.
Thinking of this, I felt more and more tingling in my scalp, and I originally thought that this was just a supernatural event that was easy to solve. And I will soon be able to help Liu Dong overturn the case, but the more I think about it, the more I feel the complexity of this matter, and I even feel that we are being swept up in an unknown and terrifying whirlpool, and behind this whirlpool, there is even a huge group that I can't touch at all now!
When I think of this, I feel panicked, and I only hope that all my previous speculations are non-existent, and that I am too worried.
But what I never dreamed of was that the more I was afraid of something, the more something would come.
As soon as Wang Feiyang and I came out of the funeral home, Peng Li called me, and he said that the address of the ghost scholar had been found and asked me to hurry over.
The reason why we are in a hurry to find the ghost scholar is very simple, if I want to completely overturn the case for Liu Dong. It is necessary to find the driver who really killed Wang Lun before, and before that, the content described in the ghost scholar is actually a story about a paper puppet, which is exactly the same as what we are encountering at the moment.
Moreover, the reason why Peng Li was able to find the water rat was also a message sent to him by this ghost scholar by email, so although I don't know the purpose of the ghost scholar doing this, I can at least be sure that even if the ghost scholar is not the driver who killed Wang Lun, he must have a relationship with him.
So, I immediately asked Peng Li where he was now, and we rushed over immediately.
Peng Li told me the specific location, and then said that he didn't know what kind of person the ghost scholar was now, if he was from the Yin and Yang Realm, with his current ability, he would definitely not be the opponent of the ghost scholar, so he hoped that I would rush over to help him as soon as possible.
From Peng Li's tone, I can hear a trace of horror, I think this must be related to the mission he carried out two years ago, although I don't know what kind of mission he performed two years ago, what he encountered, but I am sure that this has definitely caused a great shadow in his heart, so now when mentioning people in the Yin and Yang Realm, Peng Li, who seems to be not afraid of heaven and earth, will show some fear.
So, I asked Peng Li to wait for me there, don't startle the snake first, I'll rush over immediately!
