The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 47 The History of Paper-cutting
Lu Qian was not too surprised by this answer.

The first encounter between Zuo Qiuling and him was probably an accident.

However, her intention for coming to Zhaojiatun was very clear.

It is for his paper-cutting skills.

"You came to me to get my paper-cutting technique?"

Zuo Qiuling said: "Yes, Mr. Xiang."

Lu Qian took a deep breath and said, "Then, how did you know my name and address, and how did you know my paper-cutting skills?"

Zuo Qiuling said strangely: "Let's talk again... Okay. This matter has to start with my grandfather and your grandfather."

"My grandpa?"

Zuo Qiuling said: "That's right. Grandpa Ni lived in Huliu City back then, and he was still a good friend with my grandfather. Later, for some reason, your grandfather left Huliu City and moved to Zhaojiatun."

"When did my grandfather move out of Huliu City?"

"About 30 years ago."

Lu Qian wondered, "Then how did you know my name?"

Zuo Qiuling said: "After your grandfather left Huliu City, it seems that he never came back. However, your father came later."

"What to do?"

"Mourning, your grandfather is dead."

"How did you die?"

Zuo Qiuling shook her head and said, "I don't know. I was young at the time, and I couldn't understand many things. Later, when I grew up, I told my mother before I knew your name. You lived in Zhaojiatun. And... the paper-cutting thing."

Lu Qian said, "How old was my grandfather when he died?"

Zuo Qiuling made some calculations and said, "I was six years old that year, you were nine years old, and your grandpa... was four or fifty years old, I don't know."

"When did my father die?"

Zuo Qiuling was taken aback, and said in surprise: "Your father is dead too? No wonder I didn't see him at your house. Mr. Mr., why did you ask me when your father died? You...you don't know when I see your father." You're already nine years old, don't you forget about things?"

……

There is no way, Lu Qian is really not clear about this question, and he has no way to ask others.

Lu Qian exhaled and asked, "So, my grandfather and my father know how to cut paper?"

Zuo Qiuling said, "It should be...well, yes."

Lu Qian asked: "Then your grandfather...or your father, didn't you learn from it?"

Zuo Qiuling shook her head and said, "No, otherwise I wouldn't be looking for you."

Lu Qian frowned, lost in thought.

This paper-cutting technique was originally inherited from the original body's family.

However, he didn't get the memory of the original body, why did he comprehend this technique by himself?

Lu Qian has only been practicing paper-cutting for less than a month, and he already has a deep understanding of its various magic.

So, since the original body has three generations of paper-cut skills, why did he still live in seclusion in this small Zhaojiatun, without any achievements?
What's even more bizarre is that the three of their grandparents and grandchildren all died one after another.

Especially the original body, who died inexplicably.

Their death may not be that simple.

Lu Qian felt that he, who was originally ignorant and ignorant, was unveiling a layer of mystery.

As he knew more and more, things became more and more confusing.

And the feeling of uneasiness in Lu Qian's heart became stronger and stronger.

From Zuo Qiuling's mouth, Lu Qian finally uncovered the first corner of the fog.

Lu Qian asked again: "So, your father sent you here to take the paper-cut technique from me?"

The two old ones are not aggressive and bully him when he is young and ignorant?
Zuo Qiuling shook her head and said, "No. I used to be very curious about paper-cutting, and I also begged my father to find a way to get this technique. But I don't know why, but my father was very angry when he heard it. , and severely reprimanded me, telling me not to think about this technique."

"Oh?"

This surprised Lu Qian a little.

Zuo Qiuling's father is the master of the sect, so he shouldn't have failed to notice the magic of paper-cutting based on his knowledge.

Could it be that he is not interested in such a miraculous technique?

Or is there any secret or conspiracy in it that he doesn't know about?
There must be some great secret in this paper-cutting technique.

Lu Qian looked at Zuo Qiuling and said, "But in the end, you still came to me?"

Zuo Qiuling nodded and said, "I sneaked here behind my parents' backs in the name of visiting relatives."

"why?"

"On the one hand, it's because I'm somewhat interested in the art of paper-cutting..."

"And on the other hand?"

"On the other hand, it's because... I once secretly told Shi Wenhui about the paper-cutting technique, and he was more interested in this technique, so he kept pushing me to get this technique."

"Shi Wenhui, who is he?"

"He is the son of Shi Yanlin, governor of Huliu County."

"Why do you listen to him?"

"Because... I have an engagement with him long ago."

Lu Qian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zuo Qiuling already had a marriage contract in Huliu City?
He asked subconsciously: "How far have you...to?"

"There is only a marriage contract, and the date of marriage is undecided."

Lu Qian said: "It seems that you are very satisfied with him, and you are willing to risk running so far to find me for him?"

"Uh... There are probably two reasons. I didn't think much about the kiss my parents gave me. I didn't see that Shi Wenhui much, but he was gentle and gentle, and he was very...handsome. He was very nice to me. very good."

One is the head of a county, and the other is the head of a family.The two of them are a good match.

It is reasonable for the two to marry.

But... Zuo Qiuling agreed to this marriage, and most likely it fell on the prefix of "handsome".

Lu Qian looked at Zuo Qiuling, sized her up, and said, "You never thought about how much risk you would take if he asked you to come so far to find me and steal my spells?"

Zuo Qiuling froze for a while, then said, "I... I didn't think about it that much."

Lu Qian said: "You are very shrewd in small things, but confused in big things."

Zuo Qiuling was silent for a while, then she seemed to have thought of something suddenly, she smiled and said, "It's okay, since my husband is here in the future, I'll just listen to you in everything."

In Lu Qian's heart, he sighed silently.

His troubles seem to be increasing.

Nowadays, there are at least Zuo Qiuling's family and Huliu county magistrate's family who know the existence of paper-cutting technique and know that he can do it.

For some unknown reason, the Zuoqiu family, who seemed to have a close relationship with their Lu family, was not very interested in his paper-cutting skills.

But the Shi family, the prefect of Huliucheng, at least Shi Wenhui himself, is very interested in it.

In such a situation, if Lu Qian went to Huliu City rashly, one can imagine what consequences he would face.

At this moment, Lu Qian thought of this, and couldn't help secretly rejoicing that he didn't agree to go to Huliu City with Zuo Qiuling.

The lack of key information can really kill you.

Lu Qian inherited the body of "Lu Qian", but not his memory. Therefore, he knew almost nothing about the past of the three generations of their family.

He even didn't know the names of his father and grandfather.

All he knew was that Yuan Shen's grandfather and father both died early.

Yuanben's grandmother and mother also died early.

And the original body himself died.

He didn't even know the cause of death.

This cannot be explained by coincidence at all.

More than a month ago, when Lu Qian traveled through time, he was lying on his bed.

Later, through contact with the villagers, especially his neighbor Aunt Yufen, Lu Qian was probably able to confirm that the original body was neither injured nor sick, and probably died suddenly in the middle of the night!
In the month since he traveled through time, he has made indirect remarks many times, and he has drawn a lot of words from Aunt Yufen and others. He can basically be sure that, at least in the eyes of outsiders, nothing particularly strange happened to the original body.

Because there were no clues, Lu Qian temporarily put down the matter of investigating the cause of Yuan's death.

However, now it seems that not only the cause of death of the original body, but also the cause of death of his previous generation and the previous generation, he must also find out.

It is also a mystery that Yuanshen's grandfather left Huliucheng and moved to Zhaojiatun inexplicably.

The reason is probably not that simple.

Lu Qian had a vague feeling that the relationship between their Lu family and Zuoqiu's family might not be as good as Zuo Qiuling said.

She is a girl's family, and her parents and elders would not tell her about many things.

Now, Lu Qian's first priority is to find out the cause of death of the original body and his elders.

In particular, does this have anything to do with kirigami.

Zuo Qiuling's knowledge was limited, and he had only two ways to figure out these things:

Zhaojiatun and Huliucheng.

Huliucheng can't go for the time being, it seems that he has to start from Zhaojiatun to investigate first.

However, Zhu Shiheng knew his address in Zhaojiatun, which was troublesome.

Of course, no amount of trouble could be more troublesome than the Shi family and Zuoqiu family in Huliu City.

Judging from Zhu Shiheng's past experience, he should not have high attainments in martial arts.His strength should also be trickery.

As for trickery, Lu Qian may not be afraid of him today.

When it's dawn, let's go to Wangjiaying first and make some preparations.

As Lu Qian was thinking, his eyes fell on Zuo Qiuling's body inadvertently.

Zuo Qiuling followed Lu Qian's gaze and looked at her own corpse.

The two watched silently for a while, and Lu Qian asked:
"What do you think about your funeral?"
