Chapter 3 A Handbook of Tricks from Getting Started to Entering the Grave

Paper-cutting did not have a high status in later generations, and it was even reduced to a low-level means used by some funeral gift shops to make paper figurines "pleasing".

However, little is known about the root cause of the decline of paper-cutting techniques - the end of the Dharma era and the scarcity of spiritual paper.

"I don't know which prodigal son actually used a whole book of spirit paper to make a book, just to serve as a medium for an evil ceremony, it is really hopeless.
"Could it be that the spiritual material in this world is already rich enough to be so squandered?"

Zuodao looked at the "evil book" with a big mouth cover, and the more he read it, the more he liked it.

"Thanks to the fact that my cultivation has dissipated after transmigrating just now, otherwise I might not be able to sleep today if it is boosted by my previous strength.
"Tsk, I'm really upset when I think about how much effort I had to make for the whole spiritual paper." Zuo Dao looked at the books on the table and complained a little.

Previously, he thought that this book was just a book blessed by evil forces, but when he sorted it out, he found something was wrong. This book was actually made entirely of spiritual paper.

When he discovered this, he had new ideas about his follow-up plan.

As he thought about it, Zuodao rummaged through the house and placed all the tools he needed on the tea table.

He first removed the completely useless scorched black part of the book, and then put the remaining slightly scorched and relatively complete pages aside for careful sorting. Information about spiritual paper and paper cutting techniques flowed in his mind.

Spiritual paper, the tree that needs it grows in a place with aura or blessed land.

In the yang year, the yin moon, the yang day, and the yin time, it will survive the lightning strike again, and it will be cut down at the right time for another sixty years to make it. The conditions are so harsh that it takes a lot of effort to find Manpower and material resources, so most of the time it all depends on fate.

But its effect is also extraordinary. Without any blessing of good or evil abilities, even ordinary people, when their emotions are surging and their thoughts are united, can have a similar wish or curse just by finishing the book and burning it. Ability.

It was also searched by the royal family all the year round in ancient times. It was used as a table to pray for good weather, and it was also used as a call to crusade against non-officials to increase the help of the dark.

As for the paper-cutting masters who are supposed to shine, because of the huge demand for spiritual paper in any era, the paper-cutting practitioners can only gradually compromise, and continue to retreat and choose other ways to make it. Paper, but in this way, the power of nature is gradually reduced.

As a result, other people in later generations, even the disciples themselves, think that it is just a small art that is not popular, and the former style has become a legend.

When recalling and lamenting the defeat scene of this trick, Zuo Dao also wondered whether the production process of the spiritual paper in this world is the same, and he was very curious.

When recalling gaps, his hands didn't stop. After sorting out, he took out three of the spiritual papers that were in good condition and put them on the table.

"There is no shadow when hidden, no trace when revealed—"

Zuo Dao took out three spiritual papers and read aloud softly, with a look of anticipation and eagerness to try, this is the "industry" evaluation when the paper cutting skills were brilliant.

"I hope you don't let me down. My wealth and life now depend on you."

Zuodao was enjoying himself, he took the scissors and cut one of the spiritual papers. At this time, his expression was concentrated. Every time he cut, his lips could be seen slightly murmuring. Under his cutting and cutting, the spiritual paper The paper gradually becomes a humanoid silhouette.

After a while, a paper man lay quietly in his hand.

At this time, Zuo Dao put the paper figurines aside first, picked up another spiritual paper and continued cutting, and in a short time the three paper figurines were completed.

After cutting, Zuodao collected all the leftovers of the spiritual paper, held it with his left hand, and pinched the formula with his right.

"Spirit Burning Mantra: Incite the soul to ignite, the mind is like fire and the order is like god dust, follow!"

After finishing the curse, the scraps of paper in his hand instantly ignited a light blue fireball. What is eye-catching is that the flame burned in the leftist hand, but it did not cause any harm. It only made him feel slightly warm in his hand. The light blue flame did not burn for a long time. After a few breaths, the flame dissipated by itself, leaving only crystalline black particles.

Zuodao looked at the things in his hands and nodded slightly, with a faint smile, as if confirming some thoughts:
"Although it is currently impossible to confirm whether the gods of the earth also exist in this world, what is certain is that the spells that once existed in that world can be used here, which means that the invisible rules of this world are in common with those there.

"Not only is there enough spiritual energy in the spirit paper, but you don't need to spend much time when using spells, which means that the "mystery" here is very active. They are extremely difficult to use, and their effectiveness is greatly reduced.

"The good news is that the Spirit Burning Curse can be used, and other things can also be used. This can increase the power of the paper cutting technique. After all, if they are all made with the ordinary method of fire, even the magic of the spirit paper will be much less powerful.
"The bad news is that if the "mystery" is very active in this world, then virtually I will be much less safe living in this world."

Talking to himself, Zuo Dao picked up a piece of paper figurine on the table and rubbed it repeatedly on the black crystal held in one hand, chanting words until both sides were attached into black paper figurines. On the left hand side, do the same steps for the other two paper figurines.

After a little effort, three black paper figurines were lined up on the table one by one. Zuodao watched the remaining black crystals in his hand make the best use of them, and he waved his hand upwards.

"Divine dust is the boundary, and ominousness is far away."

As soon as the words fell, the black crystal light floating in the air flashed, and all of them became invisible immediately.

In an instant, Zuo Dao felt relaxed all over, and there was a kind of absolute tranquility isolated from the world, which made people feel like falling asleep.

Zuodao saw that it worked, but he didn't make any follow-up productions. He focused on feeling the tranquility, and the corners of his mouth pulled slightly.

"Usually, the formation of the enchantment is only used to prevent accidents, in case some unclean wandering spirits are encountered during certain processes and the result falls short, but the formation of the divine dust enchantment has such a strong sensory change, which is enough to show that There is some kind of malice thinking about me, huh. I didn't expect to confirm my situation by accident, which is very good."

After thinking about it, Zuodao put his hands together at this time, and then made an extremely twisted and complicated hand formula.

"Apparition."

After speaking, the black paper people on the table shone with luster, then began to tremble, and then stood up and stood up at the same time. Because the paper body was very light, they looked wobbly and out of shape.

Seeing this, Zuo Dao didn't delay any longer, and now he needs to hurry up and finish.

He first took off his clothes, exposing his shirtless upper body, then picked up a needle used for sewing clothes from the table to sterilize, and then stabbed the protruding bone on the left side of his shoulder with the needle, Let it ooze blood, then to the right shoulder, and finally to the left to pierce the needle between his eyebrows.

"True blood replaces the body, Wei Ling returns to hiding."

Zuo Dao recited softly, the blood that started to flow naturally suddenly gathered into three small round blood beads, and then floated up and slowly approached the three little black paper figurines. At this time, the little black paper people seemed to feel When he was summoned, his wobbly body froze.

When the three blood beads respectively touched the head of the paper figurine, they spread out suddenly, winding the whole body of the paper figurine like bacteria strains, and then the left side saw the outline of himself faintly appearing on the head of the paper figurine.

"Three bodies return to one, return life to return to truth, use blood to transform accumulation, paper technique to become spirit—"

After speaking, I saw three small black paper figurines approaching each other and gradually merged into one. The outline of the paper figurine's face changed from slightly blurred to a clear face exactly like Zuodao's, but it seemed to be looking at the water. The general feeling of reflection.

At the same time, Zuo Dao felt a vague connection with some existence in his mind, he looked at the paper figurine, and the paper figurine happened to look at Zuo Dao at this moment.

One person, three papers, looking at each other.

surgery into.

He outlined a small smile, and the blurred face of the paper man smiled with him.

"Is this the paper-cutting technique used by paper craftsmen in ancient times through spiritual paper? It's really interesting, as if there is another me observing the world, and there will be no conflict or rejection, just like a natural one, and There is no hidden danger of backlash”

Paper craftsman is a respectful title given to the warlocks who used to use spiritual paper to perform magic arts.

It seems simple, but in fact this standard is not arbitrary. After all, the status and ability of the warlocks who could get the spirit paper to make at that time were also extraordinary.

Even if there is a lucky person, if he can get the spiritual paper by accident and master how to make special paper figurines with the spiritual paper, then he is the chosen one.

While sighing, Zuodao's mind moved, and the little paper man turned his back on him, then floated up and stuck it to his chest. The moment it touched Zuodao's skin, there was a small sizzle sound, imprinted on him like a brand. On his chest, the slightly severe pain also made him sweat a little.

At this time, a strange scene appeared, the paper figurine was completely branded on Zuo Dao's chest, and then gradually disappeared, while Zuo Dao's chest was completely unscathed.

At this time, Zuo Dao seemed to have opened up a new field in his mind. He could perceive the world through paper dolls. In the real world, his body has no cultivation level, and the original majestic soul power has also become ordinary due to time travel. The state of man is what he sees.

But after the paper figurine merged into his body, another picture of the world appeared. Zuo Dao could see that the god-dust enchantment he had cast before was turning into a light blue spirit mask and attached to every corner of the house, like a firm defenders defend themselves.

I can also feel that the little paper figurine in my body exudes a faint spiritual light on my chest, in a state between reality and reality, and that the little paper figurine has countless spiritual threads winding out and attaching to every part of my body. Let Zuodao feel a kind of weak energy that hasn't been seen for so long.

This is spiritual power, or in other words, the feeling of cultivation.

"To use a certain ball's popular language, this feeling is really tearful.
"I don't have a cultivation base and thus no 'spiritual vision' to observe ominous conditions. I don't know how I survived these few hours. Fortunately, the paper man made of spiritual paper, no, or it should be called paper spirit, gave me With superficial spiritual power and the possession of 'spiritual vision' and 'spiritual smell', it is not possible that the evil ghost will not even know about it.

"Not only that, I thought that the 'paper spirit' recorded in ancient books is also a consumable item like other items made by paper-cutting techniques, but now it seems that it is recyclable, and even has room for development and many wonders, but Now I haven't practiced yet, so I can't feed it back. Excessive use of the paper spirit's aura will make it ineffective. It would be a pity to get to this point.

"In this way, in the paper-cutting inheritance I obtained back then, the details of the patriarch in the book about the art of spiritual paper are probably limited to self-deduction. It is too difficult for practitioners in that world."

Zuo Dao briefly analyzed the ability of the spirit paper and made complaints about the past, so he did not make any ink marks, and began to clean up the scene. After a while, there was only a pile of spirit papers left by him on the table.

"The spiritual paper is definitely not given, and it will be of various uses to me in the future. If I report the case next, I can only use the completely useless part to make fun of it. House search, it's not easy to hide."

Just as Zuodao was thinking, the mobile phone with the screen turned on at this time, it was a strange call.

Zuo Dao looked at the caller ID, and quickly tried to bring up the memory of the former master in his mind, but found that there was no memory that could be connected. He thought about it and chose to connect.

"Student Zuodao?" On the other end of the phone came a female voice that was slightly familiar to Zuodao.

"It's me, are you?"

"I'm from the General Affairs Bureau. We met today." On the other side of the phone, a soft female voice said.

Hearing this, Zuodao thought of the other party's "visiting" a few hours ago, and couldn't help thinking that it was a coincidence that he was not looking for them, but because he hadn't figured out how to deal with the remaining spiritual papers.
Hearing the voice, it was probably the woman in the black uniform and windbreaker.

"I remember, you said." Zuo Dao decided to listen to the other party's content first.

"You're at home now?"

Zuo Dao looked around: "Yes."

"Then did you hear us knocking and the doorbell?" the woman asked calmly over there.

Zuodao frowned, looked at the gate not far away, scratched his ear hole with one hand and listened carefully for a few breaths, before he said:

"No, I'm in the living room now, not far from the door."

On the other end of the phone, there was a brief silence.

Vaguely, Zuo Dao seemed to hear the woman chatting quickly with someone, and after a few breaths, the other end spoke again:
"Student Zuodao, please don't leave your room from now until we show the law enforcement ID of the General Affairs Bureau after we arrive at your home. Please be careful that no matter who comes, if you don't show the ID, then anyone will let you out do not leave."

The woman's voice was very serious.

The woman's words made Zuo Dao vigilant, and he didn't wait for a reply, only to hear a 'bang' from the phone, and the communication ended.

beep--

"What kind of magical unfolding is this? This world is too uneasy."

Zuo Dao looked at the hung up communication and smacked his mouth.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

- ding dong

The unobtrusive doorbell made Zuo Dao narrow his eyes, remembering the call that ended hastily before, he didn't respond, he walked carefully to the door without making a sound, silently peeking through the cat's eyes.

Outside the door, from the perspective of the leftist, I saw two expressionless personnel in the uniform of the Bureau of General Affairs standing in front of the door.

However, the perspective provided by the spiritual paper is another scene.

　Rubbing your claws, secretly asking for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. If you update the time, the 4000-word chapter is 9-11 noon. This kind of person does not want to force the demolition to fish in troubled waters. If you disassemble it, you may feel incoherent. The representative also said that today may be One update (new issue).

　　If it is lower than 4000, it means that there will be ~(￣▽￣～)~
