I have a volume of human scriptures

Chapter 2 Paper Man and Paper Horse, the Art of Obscuring the Eyes

Thanks to the memory of Yu Chen's two lives, coupled with the pressure of being a criminal, over time, his mind is different from that of ordinary people.

Otherwise, seeing this late-night hungry ghost and saving people's scriptures, I'm afraid I'd pee my pants in fright and be unable to move!

But even so, he was still stunned for a long while, staring at the smoky writing on the scroll, dazed.

Immediately afterwards, endless memories flooded into my mind again.

Suddenly, a revolving lantern scene appeared in front of Yu Chen.

One Jiazi ago, a drought broke out, and the people in the Wei River were starved of food.

In this disaster, a poor family's parents died of starvation, leaving only young children to beg for a living.

In the past few decades, the child has grown up, but due to the disaster of the year, his limbs are bent and his mind is confused, so he can only beg under the dry bridge.

One day, Miss Yiqianjin from Zhoucheng traveled to the Weishui River. Seeing this tragic situation, she couldn't bear it, so she bought a cinnamon cod from Chunfeng Restaurant and gave it to a beggar.

The beggar was overjoyed and kowtowed until the lady was gone and the ground was covered with blood, then he stopped, opened the food box, and ate up the cod fish as if he was wolfing it down.

Even the spine that couldn't eat, licked for a day and a night, and didn't stop until he couldn't taste a little taste.

So far, the beggar can no longer forget this feeling.

The only wish is to collect some money before he dies, so that he can have another taste of the cinnamon cod.

In this regard, another three years have passed.

The beggar begged harder than before, and was about to save enough, but was frozen to death under the dry bridge due to a heavy snowstorm.

The revolving lantern painting ends here.

Yu Chen also recovered from that miserable life.

The emotion of not being able to get what he wanted was deeply felt by him.

He looked at the shadow of the crawling hungry ghost beside the Yellow Spring in the picture scroll, and there was no fear in his heart, only...sigh.

"Forget it, whether it's for the benefits mentioned in this book or for your endless obsession, I'll go down the mountain tomorrow and buy you a piece of that cinnamon cod."

After finishing speaking, he closed the scroll, stuffed it under the pillow, and fell asleep.

The next morning.

Yu Chen woke up from his sleep.

The experience of yesterday is still in my eyes, like a dream.

He touched under the pillow with his hand, but the saving scriptures were not there. He closed his eyes again, but saw the scrolls up and down in the inner scene.

The smoky gray characters on it are so real.

Not dreaming.

Yu Chen took a deep breath, got up and cooked a bowl of white porridge, after drinking it with a slurp, he took the money he had saved over the years and went down the mountain.

Since he became the tomb keeper of Qingfeng Mausoleum, the government will distribute some money every month, and Yu Chen will make some paper figurines and sell them to the people who worship the ancestors, so he can also save some copper coins.

But even if he had money, he would live frugally, so that on the road to exile half a year later, some people would be able to show filial piety to the officials, so as not to become a ghost on the road to exile.

He has been a man for two lives, and he has heard all kinds of bragging from those Jianghu people in the county. He still understands these things in the world.

After descending the mountain, the goose feather and heavy snow are still there. Looking around, it is completely white.

Or because of the bad weather, even if the sun is three poles, there are no people in the county.

Yu Chen wrapped up his old coat and went straight to Chunfeng Tower.

Everyone in Weishui County knows Spring Breeze Restaurant. It is the largest and most luxurious restaurant in the county.

Whether it is a high-ranking official or a wealthy businessman, every important day will set up a table in this Chunfeng Building.

After crossing the threshold and stepping into the Spring Breeze Building, there is a clever little girl to greet him immediately.

Seeing that it was Yu Chen, Xiao Er was taken aback immediately.

He recognized Yu Chen.

There are two tombs in the Weishui River, the Qingfeng Mingyue Mausoleum, the Qingfeng let the dog eat, and the bright moon shines on the nobles.

As the slang said, the Qingfeng Mausoleum buried poor people. As the same people at the bottom, anyone who has worshiped their ancestors in Qingfeng Mausoleum in recent years will have a little impression of the young grave watcher in front of them.

Not to mention, when Xiao Er saw this boy for the first time, he had a feeling in his heart.

It was also a snowy day, and everything was silent.

Xiao Er and Yu Chen met each other.

At that moment, Xiao Er only felt that this young man was more dead silent than the silent mausoleum, the bones in the soil, and the cold sky.

It was a color without any expectations.

At that time, he remembered Yu Chen.

"Guest officer, what would you like to eat?" After all, he was a waiter of Chunfeng Building, so professional, Xiaoer quickly recovered and asked with a smile.

"A box of cinnamon cod, take it away." Yu Chen took out a bunch of copper coins and handed it to the little second hand.

But despite his calm face, there was a pain in his heart.

The cinnamon cod in Chunfeng Building is not a hard dish, but since it is in Chunfeng Building, it is by no means cheap, and it will take Yu Chen two months to save the price.

Xiao Er was also slightly taken aback, he had inquired about the identity of this criminal who watched the grave, and wondered if this was a good meal before he "leaves"?

But despite what he thought in his heart, Xiao Er still responded enthusiastically, took the money, and ordered the back cook to go down.

Not long after, a cinnamon cod packed in a purple wooden food box was brought up by Xiaoer, handed it to Yu Chen, nodded and bowed, "Guest officer, go slowly, come back when you are free."

Yu Chen took it, went out, and ran up Qingfengling quickly under the watchful eyes of a few people.

Back in the earthen hut, after closing the doors and windows, he took out the mantra and opened the food box.

In an instant, a strong fragrance filled the whole room, the fragrance of fish mixed with the stimulation of spices, embellished with the aftertaste of chopped green onion, Yu Chen couldn't help swallowing.

——He has grown up so much, he has never tasted the taste of cinnamon cod, even if it is not because of the memory of the beggar, he would not even know that Chunfeng Building sells cinnamon cod.

But the scent didn't last long.

The Duren Jing opened it on its own, and a golden light shot out, sucking the food box into it.

Suddenly, the picture scroll changed.

I saw the crawling ghost swallowing the cod in the food box with a satisfied expression.

Not long after, the last bone of a fish was devoured. He even licked the food box many times before reluctantly putting it down.

Even through the scroll, Yu Chen can feel that sense of satisfaction,
Immediately afterwards, the ghost stood up, turned towards the direction outside the scroll, bowed deeply, and stepped into the rolling Yellow River.

When his foot stepped into the river, a small boat appeared out of nowhere, and a thin figure with his back to Yu Chen rowed the boat, carrying the contented ghost, into the mist.

He was no longer seen.

Yu Chen stared blankly at all this, as if feeling the satisfied emotion of Ghost Shadow, he also felt a little satisfied.

But Ghosting's life is over, and Yu Chen's is just beginning.

At the moment when Ghosting left by ferry, the Sutra of Saving People suddenly burst into golden light!
The smoky gray characters changed.

[Ninth-rank mortal wish fulfillment, ninth-rank mortal soul, gifted treasure book "Paper Man and Paper Horse Essentials"]

Before Yu Chen could react, he saw a mottled black book flying out of the picture scroll world and landed in the palm of his hand.

Yu Chen subconsciously flipped it open, and in an instant, the world was spinning again!
He only heard an ethereal sound echoing in his ears, and in a daze, he seemed to have come to an unknown place. In his hands were bamboo sticks, yellow paper, pens and ink, and various things were stuck - men, women, children, birds, and birds. Beasts, insects, fish, flowers and plants... Countless things are woven in his hands.

During this process, Yu Chen seemed to know neither hunger nor fatigue, so it went back and forth, and the years changed.

It seemed like a moment, and it seemed like countless years had passed.

Yu Chen woke up with a start.

In my mind, I realized for a while.

This so-called paper man and paper horse is a kind of thaumaturgy, which can mentally control the pierced objects, whether they are people or spirits.Even if there is a thing called "Qi" applied to it, it can really have the power of the thing pierced!

For example, tie a fierce tiger and add qi to the body, then it can really evolve into the fierceness of that tiger!
It's a pity that the current Yu Chen doesn't have the so-called magic power, and the things he sticks out are just illusory and illusory.

But as far as I can see in my enlightenment, even if it has a shape, it is still lifelike!

Without further ado, Yu Chen immediately gave it a try.

——In addition to looking at the graves, he usually makes paper dolls and sells them to the worshiping people, so there is no shortage of materials in the house.

Take a stack of yellow paper, a bundle of bamboo strips, and a pen and paper, and start to tie them together.

Not long after, a paper figurine with a height of one foot, a pale face, and a handsome appearance took shape in his hands.Yu Chen comprehended, and blew on the paper figurine, and suddenly there was a dim light, and a figure exactly like him appeared in front of his eyes!

Up to the hair, down to the clothes, except for the closed eyes, they are exactly the same, you can't tell the real from the fake!
Seeing this scene, even the extremely quiet Yu Chen couldn't help being amazed!
——It’s really thaumaturgy!

Immediately afterwards, he tied all kinds of things, insects, fish, birds and animals, and so on.

Until it got dark, the house was already a strange scene!
In the originally empty room, there were men, women, young and old, tall, short, fat, thin, beautiful, ugly, handsome and deformed, all of them were there, and there were many figures standing with their heads down, eerie and strange!
And Yu Chen also felt a burst of exhaustion!
He came to a clear realization that this paper figurine technique was supposed to be fascinating, and it consumed his energy. Even with the spirit of his two lifetimes, he couldn't hold it for a whole day.

So he had a thought, and in an instant those figures turned into paper figurines and fell to the ground.

Yu Chen also paced to bed and fell asleep.

Just before he closed his eyes, an idea popped into his mind.

If he mastered this paper man technique, when he was exiled, would he be able to tie a paper man exactly like himself and pass it off like a real fish?

But as long as this idea lasts, another idea is born from the anti-bone formed by the memory of the "previous life".

——If you have the so-called "Qi" in the treasure book, you can exert countless supernatural powers on this paper figurine, and possess the supernatural power recorded in that book, whoever will be exiled?
