The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 23 Mental Power Perception

Moreover, Zhu's family assigned him a lot of work, but the other things were nothing more than just this set of paper clothes, and it was not something that could be completed in three or two days by him alone.

He has delayed here for a while, can his old man afford to wait?

Lu Qian faintly felt that something was wrong, so he thought it was better to find someone to talk about it, so as not to delay other people's affairs.

He was just about to go out, but someone outside came in first, and the two of them almost bumped into each other.

A small hand that "caught" an eye in its palm almost poked Lu Qian's face.

The little hand was shaking, and the eyes in the palm were still blinking.

At first sight of the small arm growing out of the eye, Lu Qian felt a shock at first.

The person who came was to invite their Manager Zhu. He glanced at the paper utensils all over the room, and said to Lu Qian, "Let me take a look, is there any problem with Master Lu?"

Lu Qian said: "I wish Guan Shili came just in time, I was just going to find you."

"Oh, what's the matter?" After Zhu Guanshi finished speaking, he said again: "There are many Zhu Guanshi in this house. Master Lu will call me by my name in the future, just Zhu Changqing."

Lu Qian didn't care about being polite to him, so he simply nodded and said, "This workload is a bit heavy, and it's impossible not to finish it in three or two days."

Zhu Changqing said indifferently: "Master Lu estimates that it will take about a few days?"

Lu Qian thought for a moment and said, "It will take five days anyway."

Zhu Changqing nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as it can be completed within seven days."

This... in the current situation, is it necessary to bury the body for seven days?

It's not easy for him to intervene in other people's affairs.

Lu Qian nodded and said, "In that case, I can rest assured."

Zhu Changqing took out a piece of silver from his bosom, about one or two weights, handed it to Lu Qian, and said: "This is the fixed money for Master Lu first. My master said that after the funeral is over, there will be another big reward."

Pay first, it's very particular.

Lu Qian took the money, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

Zhu Changqing also cupped his hands and was about to leave.

Zuo Qiuling, who was standing behind Lu Qian, had been staring into Zhu Changqing's eyes.Seeing that he was about to leave at this time, he finally couldn't help it, and asked, "Hey, what's wrong with your eyes...?"

After hearing this, Zhu Changqing was not annoyed, and looked back at Zuo Qiuling, with a strange look on his face, and said with a half-smile:
"It's the same as your face."

Seeing the playful look on Zhu Changqing's face, Lu Qian looked back.

I saw Zuo Qiuling's fair face, and the left half "withered" at some point.

With just one or two sentences, her entire left face unexpectedly became dry, wrinkled, and covered with dense gullies.

Some bright yellow pus flowed out from the gully.

Zuo Qiuling was startled for a moment, but when she saw Lu Qian's strange expression, she immediately came to her senses, her face changed suddenly, and she reached out to touch her face.

Immediately afterwards, she directly wanted to rub it hard with her hands.

"Wait a minute—"

Zhu Changqing hurriedly stopped her and said: "The cracked skin that just grew out cannot be rubbed off, at least it must be allowed to grow for four or five hours, and it can only be rubbed off after it is completely dry."

Zuo Qiuling didn't give up, and tried to rub it with her hands.Instead of rubbing away the wrinkled skin, this stroke squeezed out a large pile of pus, making it all over her hands.

Lu Qian saw that half of her face was covered with poop-like yellow, and the corners of her eyes twitched, and said, "No... you should goug out your face with a chisel, right?"

Zuo Qiuling pouted and almost cried.She looked at Zhu Changqing and asked, "Uncle, your eyes were also sucked by the face-sprinkler... Did you kiss me?"

Zhu Changqing said: "Yes."

Zuo Qiuling asked again: "Why...why did you change your appearance to be different from mine?"

Zhu Changqing glanced at Lu Qian in a strange way, then looked at Zuo Qiuling, and said, "Is the girl a foreigner? In our place, after being sucked by a different face sucker, the appearance of the disease may not be the same. ; Sucking on different parts is also different, and there are all kinds of them.”

This Master Lu should be a local, why didn't you tell her?

The reason "Master Lu" didn't say it...of course it was because he didn't know.

Lu Qian looked at Zhu Changqing and wondered, "Which face sucker has such a strong taste, actually went to 'suck' his eyes."

Oh, and a female sucker.

Men don't suck men.

Zuo Qiuling asked again: "Uncle, then...why didn't you goug out the place where you got sucked?"

When Zhu Changqing heard this, his face became a little numb.His right eye on his face and the left eye on his palm looked at her at the same time, blinked a few times, and said:

"Girl, this is my eye. If I pluck it out, my eye will be gone. Now, at least my left eye can still be used."

"Uh……"

The right half of Zuo Qiuling's face turned red instantly.

Zhu Changqing cupped his fists at Lu Qian, turned and left.

Lu Qian thought for a while, then turned around suddenly, and said to Zuo Qiuling, "I think it's not bad that his eyes look like this."

"Ok?"

"It can still turn."

"..."

Zuo Qiuling looked at Lu Qian angrily, and said, "Do you want to find a female ghost and give you a sip on your eyes... a sip?"

Thinking of Zhu Changqing's weird appearance, Lu Qian couldn't help shivering.

He smiled awkwardly, and said: "Didn't you hear what he said, after being sucked by different face-slickers, the appearance of the lesion is different. God knows what it will look like."

……

……

After dinner, Zuo Qiuling finally went to the next room before dark after a fierce ideological struggle.

Lu Qian started his homework again today, paper-cutting.

After cutting nine soul-destroying little paper figurines and one silver fish, he took out all his paper-cuts and placed them on the table.

In order to avoid excessive consumption of mental power at one time, Lu Qian has now separated the paper-cuts, cutting ten sheets every morning, and ten sheets in the afternoon or evening.In this way, you can keep your mental power in a more abundant state as much as possible to deal with various accidents.

A piece of paper-cut rabbit, which he had cut at the Wangjiaying market, was used once at that time.

However, when the little rabbit that was bouncing around on the ground was picked up, it turned into a dead object again, which looked no different from ordinary paper-cut.

When Lu Qian took back the little rabbit from Second Sister Wang, he realized that it could be used repeatedly.

In addition to the bunny, there is also a galloping horse, which has never been used.

The paper-cut of the galloping horse is a bit big and needs to be folded up.

Originally, he still had 39 paper figurines left, but he cut another [-] today, and now there are [-] in total.

Lu Qian specially sewed several pockets on his clothes. He put the galloping horse in the inner pocket first, and the bunny in one pocket. The remaining 39 small paper figurines were divided into 24 men and [-] women. into the two pockets most convenient for him to access.

On the table, there is only a whitebait paper-cut left.

Unfortunately, there is no stove in this room.If he wants to eat, he can only eat it raw.

Lu Qian hesitated for a while, and finally "released" the whitebait into a basin.

Outside the window, it was already dark.

Whenever night falls, Lu Qian is always a little nervous.

Lu Qian sat on the bed and began to rest with his eyes closed to recuperate the mental power he had just consumed.

After resting for a while, he unfolded his mental power perception.

Because of the oolong incident in front of Zuo Qiuling last time, Lu Qian did not dare to believe too much in the perception of spiritual power.But fortunately, when a ghost approached, the cold aura of the human form was quite obvious.

The perception of spiritual power, as Lu Qian understands it now, is somewhat similar to the "thermal imaging" of his previous life.

It is particularly sensitive to changes in the surrounding temperature.

After the spiritual power perception was unfolded, he could clearly perceive that there was a mass of human-shaped heat next to him, and a mass of fist-sized heat.

The heat of these two groups is different, the temperature of the humanoid group is lower, it can be easily judged that it is Zuo Qiuling.

And the fist-sized ball is very hot, it is an oil lamp.

Lu Qian carefully perceived Zuo Qiuling for a while, and he suddenly discovered that when he sensed the same person many times, he would notice some details about him, details unique to some people, so that he could gradually give specific people Add some "marks" to identify "acquaintances".

The heat of another group of human figures farther away is relatively unfamiliar.

The rest of the place is completely shaded.

However, the "shadyness" of the environment is completely different from the "shadyness" of ghosts. This is not only a difference in temperature, but also a big difference in nature.

For the more familiar "face sucker", he can roughly distinguish it directly now.

The world shrouded in mental power perception is fed back to Lu Qian's mind, which is roughly a world painted with blocks of different colors.

He can distinguish different things through different "color blocks".

Limited by his brain power, he is still unable to distinguish these different "blocks" in detail, and can only focus on a few key targets for analysis.

When he adapts to the specific surrounding environment, he can block the perception of surrounding details and known things, and only do a simple "monitoring".

In this way, he can greatly save the consumption of mental power, and at the same time monitor the range of three to five feet around him.

With only a small amount of mental power, he can maintain this "monitoring".

When monitoring the state, he almost ignores the known things within the monitoring range, but once there are obvious abnormal fluctuations breaking in, he can still detect it at the first time and start tracking it.

These are all experiences that Lu Qian has summed up bit by bit through the repeated use of mental power perception in the past few days.

Moreover, with the gradual improvement of mental power, the range of his mental power perception will gradually increase, and his ability to perceive details will continue to increase.

In the small courtyard overgrown with weeds, there is a well.

Oh, this is the result of his observations during the day, and then "brain filling" into the mental power perception block, and feedback.

The things observed by the naked eye can of course be supplemented by the "meditation" of the brain to supplement the description of things in the world perceived by one's mental power and enrich their details.

In the well, suddenly there was a cloud of gloomy air, emerging from it.

Suddenly broke into Lu Qian's mental alert area.
