Royal Master Painter

Chapter 2 The Lost Paper Tie

Jiang Li's job is to make a set of boys and girls for Wu Laoliu, and he doesn't care about other things.

But on the day of the funeral, Jiang Li still followed quietly, following the funeral procession all the way, for fear that something might happen on the way.

"Death and life are different, Zhao Fei's expression is shocking.

There is a difference between high and low etiquette, and foreign ministers have gathered.

He Yingying in the soul clothes, and He Xixi in the guard.

The children and grandchildren hold the coffin, and the brothers help the feast and weep.

The spirit is moving, and the dragon's head is Cui Wei. "

Li Youlang followed beside the white coffin, singing an elegy in his mouth. Li Youlang's outstanding appearance is a rare and beautiful man, and his singing voice is sad. Relatives and friends who were secretly sad when they heard the singing were even more grieved. Crying came and went.

The onlookers were still discussing that the weather was still sunny when the funeral was held just now, but in the blink of an eye, there were dark clouds and strong winds.

The one closest to the coffin was Li Youlang, who sang the elegy, and when his hand touched the white coffin, there was a piercing chill.

He looked sideways at the boys and girls who were buried with him. Among the many color-tied craftsmen, only Jiang Li's family was the most expensive. That's because only Jiang's grandson and grandson were enlightened.

People in Nanping Town don't know what enlightenment is or the mystery of it, but it has become a common practice for people who died in vain to use Jiang's family to make a lottery.

A virgin boy blinked at Li Youlang, and then absorbed the sinister energy leaked from the white coffin. As long as they persisted until they were buried in the ground, they would be able to retreat unscathed.

Jiang Greed was at the end of the funeral procession, when suddenly the little paper figurine crawled out from the neckline, and then pointed his finger at the front.

A gust of wind swept in and raised a lot of wind and sand, causing a brief panic in the funeral procession.

Jiang Greed walked quickly to the front. The evil spirit in the coffin was unexpectedly large, and it had already exceeded the limit that those virgins and virgins could absorb.

Liang Dayuan, the chief security officer of Nanping Town, was also in the funeral procession, and he was also one of the few people who knew that the Jiang family had such a magical method.

"Is there anything wrong with Jiang Greed?"

Seeing Jiang Greed's nervous expression, Liang Dayuan asked hurriedly.

"Bao Chang, you need to speed up, or I'm afraid something will happen."

"It's going to rain soon, everyone hurry up"

Liang Dayuan urged the people of the Wu family and the coffin bearers, but the eight coffin bearers felt that every step was very difficult with the heavy weight on their shoulders.

"Strange, why is this coffin so heavy?" one person asked.

"It should be some babies buried with him."

"This old Wu family is willing to pay for it"

While these people were struggling to carry the coffin while communicating, Liang Dayuan called a few more people to help.

Jiang Greed was worried at the side. Once these boys and girls couldn't absorb more evil spirits, it would definitely affect more people, and he himself didn't know what would happen.

Fortunately, it was finally buried and filled with soil at noon, and Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief.

After all the people who sealed the earth and set up the grave left, Jiang Li took out a brazier and put all the boys and girls made of paper into the brazier and lit it.

The evil wind howled, and the flint hit it several times before finally hitting it.

The flames in the brazier scrambled and crackled, and Jiang Li Youlang heard a burst of screaming and crying clearly.

These paper bundles were originally made very realistically, as if what the flames devoured were not paper bundles but living people.

Li Youlang felt a little sympathetic and wanted to take out all these painful little paper bundles, but Jiang Lian thought it was too slow to burn, so he stabbed it twice with a stick, smashing all the paper bundles to pieces.

"Your heart is really hard." Li Youlang's face was full of disgust.

"My grandfather said that it is different from other crafts. The craftsman's job is to walk on the edge of the yin and yang. After enlightenment, it becomes more evil. Generally, the soft-hearted can't do it."

"Anyway, it's finally over"

Li Youlang wiped the sweat from his forehead. If you are ignorant about this kind of nagging, you will not be afraid. On the contrary, the more you understand, the more you will be afraid.

"its not right"

Jiang Greed stood up and walked around the tomb three or four times, as if looking for something.

"What's going on?" Li Youlang asked.

"One of my paper bundles is missing"

"Could it be that you made a mistake?"

"It's impossible for me to order clearly. There are twelve six men and six women in total, and now there is one virgin missing."

"What's the trouble if there's only one missing?" Li Youlang asked luckily.

"If you don't want Nanping Town to be disturbed, find out quickly"

Jiang Gu remembered that there was a gust of evil wind during the funeral just now, and it must have blown one away at that time and the people next to him didn't care.

After Li Youlang heard it, he regretted a little. He should have gone straight down the mountain to go home after sending Wu Laoliu just now, so he stayed here to mess with something, and now he was caught by Jiang Lian.

Jiang Greed took out the paper figurine from Wu Laoliu's coffin from his bosom. The paper came to life immediately after it stood on the ground, and trotted forward in one direction after a little movement.

Although the paper figurine was not big, it ran very fast. It wandered around the streets and alleys of Nanping Town, followed closely by Jiang Li and Li Youlang.

Seeing that he was about to reach the destination, a pair of big hands appeared out of thin air and directly held the little paper figurine in their hands.

The man in front of him was dressed strangely, wearing a green shirt with a bamboo tube on his waist, long hair tied around his crown and a white beard under his chin.

When Jiang Li was looking at the old man, the old man was also observing the paper figurine in his hand, which had human facial features and limbs drawn on it. What was even more interesting was that the paper figurine was waving its hands and feet trying to break free from his grasp.

"who are you"

Jiang Li is very vigilant. Nanping Town is not big. Even if he can't recognize each house, he can at least have an impression, especially the elderly. There is no one he doesn't know. The old man in front of him is obviously not from Nanping Town. people.

"Did you draw this?" asked the old man.

"Yes"

"Okay, the painting is good, especially the eyes are particularly vivid. Even painters who specialize in portraits rarely have such painting skills," the old man repeatedly praised.

"Old man, we still have serious business to do, can you let go," Li Youlang said.

"well"

After the old man let go of his hand, the paper figurine jumped from his palm and fell to the ground, unable to stand still and even fell.

"you…."

The old man was about to say something, but Jiang Li and Li Youlang ran past him and ignored him at all.

Firstly, there was business to do, and secondly, although the old man was old, he had a ruddy complexion and was able to live. He was in conflict with their industry, and the two of them lost the desire to talk to him in an instant.

If it was replaced by other old people in the town, Jiang Li and Li Youlang were both polite and good boys.

But the old man looked at the back of the two leaving, his eyes were full, and he kept saying how good he is!
The paper figurine stopped outside a big house, but Jiang Li Youlang didn't rush in.

"Is this the old Liu's house?" Li Youlang asked.

The Liu family is a rare large family in Nanping Town. A few days ago, it was widely rumored in the town that Liu Chong's son-in-law Liu's daughter-in-law was pregnant in October, but Mrs. Wen delivered a dead baby.

Jiang Li was already at home waiting for the business to come to his door, and he had planned to arrange for the Liu family after the affairs of Wu's six families were finished. Unexpectedly, the lights and festoons inside and outside the courtyard walls now look like a celebration.

"What are you two doing here, hurry up, don't make our family happy"

After seeing Jiang Li and Li Youlang, a man who looked like a housekeeper blocked the door to prevent the two of them from entering.

"What is Liu Yuanwai's joy?" Jiang Greed asked with a smile.

"My family invited a miraculous doctor to rejuvenate the young master, and I will have a big banquet in the next two days."

After seeing Jiang Li and Li Youlang leave, Steward Liu said something bad, Li Youlang wanted to talk to him but was stopped by Jiang Lian.

"It's really a dog's eyes that look down on people"

"Shh, don't scold me, my family has a way of looking after me. I think it's been three to five months since Steward Liu has been haunted by evil spirits."

Adhering to the concept that customers are God, Jiang Greed will naturally be more tolerant of them.

"Really?"

Li Youlang raised his eyebrows with joy, then turned around and said goodbye to Butler Liu with a smile.People in their line of work must be tolerant, because there is no telling whether the person who offended him will die tomorrow.

"Could it be that the rumors in the town are all false? Liu Chong's son is not dead?" Jiang Greed asked.

"This is impossible. This Liu Chong called me to the mansion yesterday and gave me three taels of silver. I saw with my own eyes that the child was indeed dead, and his body was so cold. I wrote the elegy overnight."

Li Youlang shook his head and said with certainty.

"My Zhizha should be in Liu's house too, there must be something weird in it, let's find out tonight"

"Pay attention to your words, try not to talk about us, of course, as your only friend, if anything happens to you, I will definitely write a song for you." Of course Li Youlang didn't want to come.

"Then I'll thank you first, but my family has the means to keep up, let me see you."

Before Jiang Li finished speaking, Li Youlang already knew what he was going to say, so he interrupted hastily.

"Stop, stop, stop, can't you expect me to make an order and I'll go with you?"

"I think you will live a long life"
