The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 20
It's better for Lu Qian if these ghosts don't come.

Although he also needs potential points now, he can cut up to twenty small paper figurines a day, which is completely useless.

When he is stronger in the future and the little paper figurines are saved up, it won't be too late to harvest them on a large scale.

Anyway, there are a lot of ghosts here.

Lu Qian closed the window, came to an old desk, and started to finish his evening homework.

decoupage.

When Zuo Qiuling saw Lu Qian cutting out the little paper figurines, she immediately leaned over to watch them curiously.

After looking at it for a while, she asked curiously, "What did you cut out, does it have a name?"

Lu Qian said: "The little paper figurine."

Zuo Qiuling listened, nodded, and said: "The name is very appropriate. Such a little paper man can actually capture ghosts. It's amazing. Can you teach me?"

"Of course, it was agreed earlier."

After Lu Qian finished speaking, he took out a piece of white paper with a little hardness, and said to Zuo Qiuling: "You watch me cut. The key is, when cutting paper, you must be very concentrated. You have to try and put your energy into it. Power, instilled on paper."

"focused……"

Zuo Qiuling thought for a while, then nodded, and said, "And then?"

"What then?"

"Then what to do?"

"There is no more, that's all right."

Zuo Qiuling's eyes widened, and she said incredulously, "The technique...is it that simple? There's nothing...such as spells?"

Lu Qian shook his head.

In fact, even Lu Qian himself felt that this "paper-cutting" technique was a bit too simple.

It's so simple, there's nothing fancy about it.

But...it's actually that simple.

Zuo Qiuling frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "Then when you cast it, there was no spell?"

"Well... take it."

"receive?"

"Well, take it."

"That's it?"

"That's it."

"..."

"Oh, that's right. When casting a spell, you need to lock your target with mental power. Then hold the little paper figurine and say 'accept'."

Zuo Qiuling let out a long breath, and said, "I'm just saying, how can the technique be so simple, it turns out that the key is here. But, how to use mental power to lock the target?"

Lu Qian said: "This requires you to practice. When your mental power can be extended outward, you will naturally understand."

"Well, practice..."

Lu Qian added: "Actually, I also realized this technique by accident. I don't really understand the deeper things."

Zuo Qiuling nodded, and seemed to finally agree with his statement.

This is in line with his current status.

Seeing this, Lu Qian secretly said: "This little girl looks stupid and cute, but she is not easy to fool at all. If there is no last sentence, she might think him as a big liar, right?"

After Lu Qian finished teaching, he took out another pair of scissors and gave it to Zuo Qiuling to practice by herself.

She sat under a dim oil lamp and practiced for a long time, but naturally she didn't find any tricks.

Lu Qian, on the other hand, looked at the three pieces of paper she had cut out, and couldn't help but feel distressed, and said, "You can cut it after you think about it, just cut it like this, I don't have so much paper to waste for you."

Zuo Qiuling curled her lips, dropped the scissors, and said, "I didn't expect such a simple thing as paper-cutting to be quite troublesome."

Lu Qian looked at the crooked little paper figurine she had cut, and couldn't help laughing: "It's a craft anyway, and of course it's not that simple. There can be no mistakes in the shape and size of the small paper figurine. I think you should practice first. Let’s talk about paper-cutting.”

Zuo Qiuling stood up and said, "Let's practice again tomorrow."

After all, he went straight to the kang.

Lu Qian said: "Alright, I have to go to the market tomorrow, so let's rest early."

After that, he dropped his things and walked to the kang.

After Zuo Qiuling took off her shoes and got on the kang, she didn't go to sleep, but started to meditate and practice her homework.

When Lu Qian saw it, his heart moved.

"Lingwuquan" contains the method of cultivating mind, and it is practiced in meditation like this, which is mainly used to practice true energy.

Now that Lu Qian already has two wisps of true energy in his body, can he also practice it?
As soon as he thought of it, Lu Qian also went up to the kang, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and silently recited the cultivation method of Lingwuquan in his heart.

After a long time... after a long time.

Lu Qian finally mobilized the true energy hidden in his dantian.

With joy on his face, he immediately tried to guide, guide this zhenqi, and operate according to the prescribed meridians.

However, when the zhenqi was running, Lu Qian felt that it was like hanging a heavy hammer with his eyelids, with no focus, and the zhenqi was too "heavy".

He tried for a long time, until he was sweating profusely, but he still couldn't activate his true energy.

Lu Qian opened his eyes and turned to look at Zuo Qiuling.

I saw her sitting cross-legged, with her hands and fingers folded under her lower abdomen, her eyes closed tightly, her expression peaceful.

Her breathing is also very rhythmic; the time between one breath and one breath is very long.

Seeing this, Lu Qian couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Sure enough, I'm still far behind."

……

……

The next day.

Lu Qian broke the boat and cooked all the coarse grains at home, and stewed a fish.

The two had a rare meal.

Zuo Qiuling almost shed tears of gratitude, and praised Lu Qian a lot.

However, when Lu Qian packed up and was about to go out, he was disrupted by an unexpected visitor.

There were three people who came, and the one who walked in the front was an old man in his sixties. Although his hair was gray, his body was still very strong.

This person, Lu Qian recognized, was Zhao Youde, the village head of Zhaojiatun.

The two strangers who followed him looked a little weird.

Both were tall, one fat and the other thin.

The fat man had a round face and looked a little rich.

It's a pity that his round face was covered with pockmarks like a starry sky.

It's all red dots.

If there is obsessive-compulsive disorder, I am afraid that I will immediately press this face into the soil and hammer it frantically.

Another thin man, although a face is a bit dark, it is very flat, there are no spots on his face.

People here have been persecuted by ghosts all year round, and many people have some problems on their faces.Those with smooth skin like this are actually a minority.

Unfortunately, he has a blemish on one eye.

His left eye protruded outward.

It protrudes about two or three inches long, forming a white and tender column of flesh, like a baby's arm.

On the top of the meat column, there is a small white and fat hand.

The hand has five fingers, just like a healthy baby's hand, just in the wrong place.

The five fingers of the little hand are slightly bent, and in the exposed palm, there is an eye.

What's outrageous is that his eye looks normal, and the eyeball can still move around.

To put it simply, a small arm grew out of his left eye, and at the same time held his eye in the palm of his hand and "lifted" it out.

When Lu Qian came to this world, he had already met many people who "looked" weird.

But Lu Qian was taken aback by the beauty of these two.

If it weren't for the village chief leading them, he would have almost regarded these two as monsters and greeted them with a punch.

The village head, Zhao Youde, seemed to be taken aback by their looks. He not only led the two weirdos to Lu Qian's house, but also chatted and laughed with them along the way.

Coincidentally, Lu Qian had just left the house with the cage on his back.

Zhao Youde saw Lu Qian going out dressed like this, so he shouted, "Little Qian, are you going to the market?"

"what……"

Zhao Youde said with a smile to the two strange people behind him: "Look, I'll just say it, if it's a little later, I won't see anyone."

While talking, the three of them walked into the shadow under the big mulberry tree.

The two eccentrics also seemed to know that their appearance was not pleasing, so they consciously did not approach them.

Zhao Youde took two steps closer, and said to Lu Qian, "Don't go to the market, I have an errand for you."

Lu Qian looked at the two weirdos suspiciously, and asked, "What's the job?"

Zhao Youde pointed to the two weird men, and said: "These two are the two stewards of Master Zhu's family in Zhujiazhuang, one is Steward Li, and the other is Steward Zhu."

Zhujiazhuang is a big village seventeen or eight miles away from Zhaojiatun, which is more than seven or eight times larger than Zhaojiazhuang.

Zhujiazhuang, naturally most people have the surname Zhu.However, among all the people surnamed Zhu, there is only one person who can be called "Master Zhu".

Zhu Shiheng.
