Chapter 31: Paper Figures

In the ancestral hall, Nai Qing urged me to dig up the last shovel of soil, but there was still no trace of the copper coffin, and she sat on the ground with her lost ass.

It was in the corner next to the ancestral hall, and the bronze coffin was buried under the bricks, but now it was nowhere to be seen.

Nai Qing drooped in frustration and said, "How could it be gone?" If someone came to steal it, I didn't feel it at all! ”

I took her into my arms and comforted her, don't worry, there are many people near the ancestral hall, I'll ask, there must be clues!

Naiqing, a woman as strong, has lost her previous temper at this moment.

On the way around the ancestral hall, I found a young boy who looked to be under twenty years old and about the same age as me.

We hurried to catch up with him, perhaps because he saw the ancient book in my hand, and the boy was a little trembling, and he looked at me for a long time, as if he was going to run away at once if there was any movement.

"Do you live around here?"

"Yes, I live in..."

"Was there any change in the ancestral hall here yesterday?" I didn't wait for him to finish and interrupted him directly.

As long as it's nearby!

"I said, do you believe me?" The boy looked around, made sure that no one was there, lowered his voice, and continued, "There are two paper figures entering the ancestral hall. ”

"My grandfather and I searched for a while in the village, and saw a coffin dragged on the ground, and chased along the trail while it was dark, and now I feel weird and scared, we see two paper people dragging the copper coffin!"

I hurriedly asked, "Paper man?" Are you sure? Are they really two paper figurines?"

"You can't go wrong! It's just two paper figures!" When the boy recalled the beginning, he still felt palpitations: "My grandfather and I met this kind of thing, where did we dare to chase it again, so we had to come back like this."

Paper man possession, this is the means of origami door!

I frowned, I couldn't figure out how there could be an origami door interfering, what were these papermakers doing stealing Nai Qing's copper coffin?

The boy pointed to the clearing in the distance and told me that it was here that night that two paper figures dragged the bronze coffin into the woods.

Although it was dark that night, it was obvious that the papier-mΓ’chΓ© body could be seen.

What makes me strange is that I'm still a child, even if they know about my relationship with the Xuanyin faction, they can't embarrass me as a child who doesn't understand anything, and Nai Qing has nothing to do with the Xuanyin faction, so it is impossible for the origami door to steal the bronze coffin because of the inheritance of the number of techniques!

But if it weren't for the "Xuanyin Technique", what use would it be to steal the copper coffin from the origami door?

I frowned, and walked in the direction the boy pointed out into the woods, which were so large and wooded that even if I knew that the paper figures were coming, I couldn't tell where they had dragged the coffins.

After looking around, I had no choice but to give up.

Naiqing's bronze coffin is very important to her, and she must find it, as long as she has the opportunity, even if it is a three-foot digging into the ground.

"What's your name?" The boy came up to me and asked.

"Travel! What's your name? ”

"My name is Yuan Zexi! It just so happens that there is a lot of cooking today, come to my house to eat at noon, there are few people near this ancestral hall, my grandmother likes to be lively, especially with Taoists like you and me, she must be very chatty with us. ”

Yuan Zexi, this name is very familiar.

I said hello, and listened to Yuan Zexi point me to a house at the entrance of the village that was smoking smoke, and said that I would go to him when I was done.

Yuan Zexi left, and I called out Nai Qing and asked what to do next.

"Using the ethereal wood to unfold the vision of the mountain spirit, maybe there are some clues. However, I can't do your Xuanyin Sect spells. ”

Nai Qing nodded at me, and the meaning was already obvious.

I silently used the trick of counting the arts, using the ethereal wood to attract the nearby mountains and forests, and retraced what had happened that night.

Sure enough, a vision appeared!

The nearby trees and dead grass kept shaking, and before long, they actually imprinted a vague shadow on the trunk, and I carefully distinguished the strange shadow image, not a paper man, but what it was!

I wiped the sweat off my forehead, this ethereal wood technique was not a small drain on the essence.

I followed the trail of trees and grass, turning around and rounding, until finally through the woods to a river, where the trace was gone.

I looked left and right, and there was no place to cross the river.

Either the paper man dragged the copper coffin into the water, which is obviously unrealistic, and the paper man who can go into the water is not called a paper man.

Either that, or the paper man managed to cross the river!

But how can I get into the water, and even if I can, it's hard to say if there's anything in the water.

I looked at it for a while and decided to go back to the village first.

When I returned to the village, it was past noon.

I happened to meet Yuan Zexi at the entrance of the village, and Nai Qing and I went to his house for lunch.

When I entered the door, I saw a familiar figure working in front of the stove, it was Grandma Luo, Yuan Zexi's grandmother, and my grandfather's world friend.

Grandma Luo was very happy to meet the grandson of her old friend, and when she saw me, she was stunned for a few seconds before she recognized me, and called me with a smile, patted Yuan Zexi's head, and scolded with a smile You two are really fateful.

At noon, it was Grandma Luo's specialty dish, and she specially cut a few catties of pork belly to entertain us, and stewed an old hen, saying that she saw that Nai Qing and I were so thin, how to work hard in the future.

The old LCD TV is playing my Pony, and the aroma of rice and meat is so warm.

No wonder the name Yuan Zexi sounds so familiar, it turns out that there is such a relationship.
