He started as a shepherd and took on countless jobs.

"Ah?" The woman was shocked.

"Even the young lady of the Lu family is dead? Goodness, she's really ruthless!" The woman patted her chest.

"Not only that, but County Magistrate Lu's son, Lu Shouhuai, also had an arm cut off by that demon!" Tu Gou Dan added, "I heard that if too many people die unjustly, it's easy for some unclean things to appear, just like how the mass graves are restless."

"I suspect they're keeping us at home so they can send someone to deal with all this filth."

The woman nodded repeatedly, saying that her father knew more.

"Knock knock knock knock!"

"Knock knock knock knock!"

A series of urgent knocks sounded on the door.

Just as the woman was about to speak, a large, rough hand covered her mouth. Turning her head, she saw Tu Gou Dan frowning and shaking his head at her.

"I've seen strange things at the docks. The manager once told me that if a person knocks on the door three times, a ghost will knock on it four times."

Tu Gou Dan whispered something in someone's ear, afraid that the dirty things outside would hear him.

The woman nodded hurriedly and covered her son's mouth tightly with her hand.

"Bang bang bang bang!" The knocking turned into banging on the door, and sawdust fell wildly.

It seemed like something outside was about to rush in.

boom!

A furry claw burst through the wooden door.

The family of three huddled tightly in the corner, their bodies trembling involuntarily.

The claws retracted.

The family of three had just breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly, a hissing sound came from outside the door.

It was a snake's head, its entire body jet black, with two vertical pupils resembling small lanterns, emitting an unsettling red light.

However, a human face was hanging on the snake's head. The snake's head was protruding into the hole, and its neck was constantly extending, like a rubber band that was being stretched.

Hiss hiss hiss.

"There...there's someone home, why...why won't they open the door?"

The snake-man ghost flicked its tongue, staring intently at the family of three.

Tu Gou Dan grabbed the kitchen knife from beside the bed, steeled his resolve, and prepared to fight the snake-man ghost to the death!

"Pah!" The snake-man ghost spat out a long tongue, wrapped it around Tu Gou Dan's wrist, and flicked it lightly against the wall. Tu Gou Dan's kitchen knife slipped from his hand, his forehead covered in blood, and he stared intently at the snake-man ghost.

A feeling of despair grew wildly in my heart.

Damn it! Damn it!

The snake-man's eyes were filled with even more mockery. He had merged with the snake demon's dead soul, resulting in his current appearance.

He was captivated by the demon's bloodthirsty nature.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Especially torture and murder! It gives him an indescribable pleasure!

The snake-man's neck stretched even longer, almost touching the faces of the mother and child.

Tu Bei closed his eyes and curled up tightly in his mother's arms.

The woman closed her eyes in despair.

Where are the city guards? And where are the Eagle Yang Prefecture soldiers?

"Tap tap tap!"

Suddenly.

The orderly marching sounds reached the ears of the family of three.

"Evil spirits are causing trouble! Arrest and kill them immediately!" a sharp shout rang out.

In an instant, a faint light shone through.

The snake-man ghost was dragged outside the door, and the sound of a sword being drawn rang out. The head of the once arrogant snake-man ghost fell to the ground.

Through the door, Tu Gou Dan saw a group of paper figures holding knives.

The woman hurriedly got out of bed, helped Tu Gou Dan to his feet, and knelt down to kowtow, saying, "Thank you, sir, for saving my life! Thank you, sir, for saving my life!"

Tu Bei climbed to the window and, through the crack, saw that each paper figure seemed to have words written on it.

"Qing...Cheng...Mountain?" Tu Bei whispered the words written on the paper figure.

Thanks to the government's policy of providing early childhood education books to dock workers who had young children at home.

Therefore, children from backgrounds like Tu Bei knew quite a few characters.

Meanwhile, similar scenes are playing out in the alleys and lanes of Qingcheng County.

Pei Family Courtyard.

While making paper figures, Pei Si kept an eye on the situation of the paper figure army of swordsmen.

One of the conditions for advancing to the next level of the Yin-Yang lineage is to make the lineage to which he belongs famous.

In fact, Pei Si now carries the mantle of two lineages.

One lineage is the shepherd tradition passed down from the blind old man Lin, and the other lineage is from Qingcheng Mountain.

The old blind man's passing on the secret manual of shepherding to me after his death implies that he can take on disciples and pass on the shepherding method.

Pei Si was the last disciple, and there were several senior brothers and sisters above him, but he had never met them and did not know whether those senior brothers and sisters also had disciples and passed on their teachings.

The lineage of shepherds is relatively unknown.

But Qingcheng Mountain is different.

They frequently held free clinics in Xingle County and were quite famous. Even General Shao Shuyun, when faced with a difficult situation, would write a letter to Qingcheng Mountain to seek support.

Therefore, it was much easier to make Qingcheng Mountain famous!

Pei Si was cunning; he wrote Qingcheng Mountain on the paper figures and swordsmen.

When you suffer hardship, and suddenly divine soldiers descend from the heavens to remove your suffering and save you from danger, you will surely remember them forever.

Pei Si was never idle for a moment.

The streets and alleys inside the city must be swept clean, and paper figures must also be sent out to sweep the area outside the city.

Pei Si's initial plan was to make another two or three hundred paper figures and send officials and soldiers along the way to sweep away the ghosts of the unjustly killed.

With the help of "Paper-Making Pei Si", it didn't take long for Pei Si to make another two hundred paper figures.

Five hundred paper figures were already the limit of what Pei Si could control. Any more would be a huge drain on his mental energy. Moreover, Pei Si had not studied military tactics and battle formations. If these five hundred paper swordsmen were to be combined with military formations, it would be even more difficult.

Pei Si anticipated that their combat strength could double again.

Pei Si suddenly had a strange idea: Could soldiers and generals be considered professions?

Putting aside this idea for the time being, Pei Si began to make paper figures like the 'Paper Beauty'.

Pei Si recalled the female stars he had seen in his previous life, regardless of whether they were currently popular or not, all of them had a single-leg haircut.

This stuff sells very well.

Qingcheng County is now sealed off at all four gates, with no one allowed to enter or leave, and has become a walled city.

At this time, a person's psychology will also change.

In the tense atmosphere of demonic invasion, it's inevitable to have some thoughts of revelry.

There's a poem that says, "Soldiers on the front lines are half dead and half alive, while beauties sing and dance in their tents."

When you wonder why the last monarch, facing the crisis of national subjugation, still indulged in singing and dancing and pursued pleasure.

Think back to when you were in school, knowing that exams were just around the corner, why did you still immerse yourself in extracurricular reading?

Pain and happiness.

Pei Si intended to exploit this mentality to rake in a huge amount of money from incense offerings and religious donations.

I'll go to the auction and acquire that world-famous sword, using it as an advancement material for my swordsmanship.

Before long, under the personal and dedicated efforts of Master Pei, more than ten paper beauties with different charms were created.

Just by touching the exterior, it is indistinguishable from a real person.

It's pleasing to the eye!

Pei Si then made three or four different exquisite outfits for each of the dozen or so paper beauties, and when they were put together, they were enough to make anyone's blood boil.

Pei Si had already made a plan in his mind.

This batch of paper beauties is called the first release limited edition, and the matching clothes are called the first release bonus.

With this combination of tactics, he didn't believe those wealthy households wouldn't pay.

Pei Si collected all the "paper beauties" and headed straight for the county government office.

At this time, Magistrate Du would certainly not be resting; he should still be waiting for the battle situation of the paper doll army.
