The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 17
Liangyin Mountain was shrouded in night, and it was very quiet.

In the northeast of the mountain, there is a valley.

The valley is large, but not too deep, like a sea bowl placed flat in the mountains.

On the flat bottom of the valley, there are no trees, and even the weeds have withered in this early spring season.

Occasionally, some small mountain beasts came near the valley and stood on the "edge of the bowl" to look in.

The next moment, it suddenly convulsed, foamed at the mouth, and passed out on the ground.

In the east of the valley, a gap opened.

The round moon floated in the gap, shooting cold moonlight into the valley.

Humans can't see it with the naked eye. In the valley, there are densely packed ghosts, no fewer than five or six hundred.

Facing the moon, they suddenly fell down in unison.

Ghosts worship the moon.

The cold moonlight shone on their invisible bodies, and most of the light passed directly through them.

However, in the moonlight, there are very few light rays that are almost invisible to the naked eye, but they are blocked by their illusory bodies.

These moonlights, cruising on their bodies, seem to be soaked into their bodies little by little.

These invisible bodies seem to have undergone some kind of change quietly.

……

……

The southern foot of Liangyin Mountain.

Zhaojiatun, at the entrance of the village, under the big mulberry tree.

Lu Qian stood in the door, turned to look at Zuo Qiuling who was not far away, and asked, "Are you ready?"

Zuo Qiuling held a torch in her hand, and the light from the torch illuminated her beautiful face, her expression a little nervous.

She looked at Lu Qian and said anxiously: "Are you really... sure?"

Lu Qian frowned and said, "If you don't do it today, there will be more tomorrow, and something will happen sooner or later."

When Zuo Qiuling heard this, she could only agree, she lowered her head and said, "Okay..."

Lu Qian stopped talking nonsense, holding the little paper figurine in his hand, took two steps forward, took off the latch, and pulled the wooden door open.

A ghost who was about the same height as him stood at the door, looking at him faintly.

The faint blue light in Guiliuzi's eyes had disappeared, as if they were tired if they were always on.

In its eyes, there are only two holes left.

On the contrary, it was Lu Qian at this moment, with a pair of dark eyes covered with a faint blue layer.

After Lu Qian opened the door, he immediately took two steps back.

Gui Liuzi on the opposite side stood close to the door, but remained motionless, just watching Lu Qian quietly.

It is like a very polite guest, waiting for the host's invitation.

Naturally, Lu Qian would not invite it in.

A person and a ghost, looking at each other quietly through a door.

Almost looked at each other for a cup of tea.

The Guiliuzi at the door was very solemn, and his legs never moved.

The ghosts lining up behind it also didn't move.

However, after seeing it for a long time, the owner of the house did not intend to invite it in at all, and the ghost at the door finally got a little anxious.

Its complexion began to undergo some changes; a pair of dark eyes suddenly lit up, emitting blue tiles of light.

Seeing that Lu Qian was still unmoved, it pouted at him.

It seems to be saying: "Don't tell her to come out yet?"

Seeing this, Lu Qian turned his head and waved at Zuo Qiuling.

Holding a torch, Zuo Qiuling reluctantly walked over.

Lu Qian reached out to wrap her arms around her fragrant shoulders, then smiled outside.

When Gui Liuzi saw Zuo Qiuling, the blue light in his eyes suddenly lit up.

It's just that it still hasn't taken a step into the room.

Lu Qian noticed that it didn't seem very scared when it saw the light of the torch.

Apart from the fire, there seems to be nothing in the room that can scare him, right?
He doesn't enter the house, is it because he wants to abide by the last bottom line of being a ghost?
Lu Qian decided to explore its bottom.

He retracted his left hand, pulled Zuo Qiuling into his arms, and kissed her on the face.

Zuo Qiuling was startled, and when she raised her right elbow, she was about to hit Lu Qian on the chin.

Fortunately, at the last moment, when her elbow was an inch away from Lu Qian's chin, she stopped abruptly.

This made Lu Qian break out in a cold sweat.

Sure enough, in front of Zuo Qiuling, he had almost no room to evade and fight back.

Zuo Qiuling quickly glanced at the door, then looked up at Lu Qian, lowered her voice and asked angrily, "What are you doing?"

Lu Qian looked straight out of the door with a smile on his face, and didn't look at her, but said in a low voice, "Don't talk."

Zuo Qiuling was very nervous at this moment, and Lu Qian could feel it from her tense back.

Guiliuzi outside the door, seeing the actions of the two, did not become as angry as Lu Qian imagined.

Instead, it actually... became excited.

Moreover, he also encouraged Lu Qian with his "eyes", as if looking forward to his further actions.

The most obvious thing is that the corner of its mouth actually evoked a smile.

It was obviously the first time that Zuo Qiuling had such close "contact" with a man, her cheeks were flushed, and she began to feel a little hot.

She looked outside cautiously, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with them?"

Lu Qian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that they really won't enter the house..."

That's easy to say.

While speaking, he let go of his hand.

However, just as he let go of his hand, before he finished speaking, the ghost outside the door became angry.

Out of anger, it suddenly raised its legs and walked towards the house.

It looked like he was about to pounce on them.

Lu Qian was shocked when he saw this.

It's not that ghosts can't enter the house, it's just that due to various reasons, they won't easily step into the mansion.

Lu Qian has verified his conjecture at this moment, but he can't let this ghost really walk into his room.

Once this step is taken, there will be endless troubles.

Lu Qian had already locked it with his mental power. At this time, he squeezed the little paper figurine and shouted directly:

"receive--"

The ghost outside the door disappeared in an instant and was taken into the little paper figurine.

Lu Qian casually threw the little paper man in his hand onto the torch in Zuo Qiuling's hand, burning it to ashes.

Then, he pinched out a second little paper figurine and looked out the door.

Outside the door, after the first ghost disappeared, the ghost behind it automatically took two steps forward to make up for it.

It looked at Lu Qian with a puzzled face, as if it didn't understand why its "predecessor" suddenly disappeared out of thin air?

Lu Qian was naturally not interested in explaining to it.

Even though the ghost was standing at the door in an orderly manner, and did not take a step beyond the thunder pool, Lu Qian locked it with mental strength and shouted the word "receive".

After the second Guiliuzi disappeared, the third stepped forward to fill his place.

"receive--"

the fourth……

"receive--"

Lu Qian threw the little paper figurines to the torch and burned them, and took out the little paper figurines from his pocket one by one.

It felt a bit like buying drinks in front of a vending machine in my previous life.

After buying one, the machine will automatically push one forward.

One by one, endlessly.

However, the ghosts outside the door are obviously endless.

When Lu Qian received twenty, the ghost outside the door finally knew to be afraid.

They didn't continue to move forward, but stood and watched from a distance, their faces full of doubts.

Lu Qian didn't stop, stepped out and continued to "harvest".

After he harvested three more ghosts, the rest of the ghosts finally became frightened, turned their heads and ran out of the village.

Seeing this, Lu Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and did not chase after him.

If this continues, his little paper man will not be enough.

Lu Qian looked around, and under the silent night sky, there was neither one person nor ghost.

He put the little paper man in his hand back into his pocket, then his consciousness entered his mind, and he unfolded the scroll:

【Land diving】

【Life: 18/20+】

[Realm: Mortal (5/50)]

[Potential Points: 23]

[Spiritual Power Level: Level 1]

[Spell: Paper-cutting Level 1 (40/150+)]

[Spell: Mental Power Burning]

[Spell: Mental Power Perception]

[Zhen Qi: 0 wisps (2/10+)]

[Martial Skill: Lingwu Fist (Entry Level (5/30+))]

The potential point has increased by 23 points, no problem.

However, he just fell asleep, so how could he generate a little more energy out of thin air?
