Paper Maker

Chapter 87 The Strange Man Entering the Store

Thinking of Lin Xiaoqi waiting in the Wangchuan River for 1000 years, I feel sad.

The ghost mother-in-law sighed, and then said: "Why don't you go down with the old man to meet her? After she learned that I knew you, she has been concerned about how you are doing up there."

I smiled bitterly: "I don't know how to get down."

In fact, I have heard my grandfather talk about the art of overcasting, and the method does not sound difficult.I also want to go down to find her, or even save her.But let’s not say that I have never been in the dark, the main reason is that I am afraid to see her, I am afraid to see her sad appearance in the Wangchuan River, and how can I save the ghost who jumped into the Wangchuan River come out?Ghosts who have entered the underworld cannot be taken out of the gate of hell, just like strangers cannot be taken to the underworld at will.

I felt powerless and sad.

At this time, the ghost mother-in-law seemed to see what I was thinking, and she said, "Aren't you a paper maker, you can definitely save her?"

When I heard this, I was very surprised at the time, thinking that although I am a paper maker, I have never heard that a paper maker can rescue the ghosts in the Wangchuan River?

The ghost mother-in-law said, "You don't know?"

I shook my head and said I had never heard of it.

The ghost mother-in-law said: "I also heard from the old ghosts below. They said that the ancestor of the paper maker left a ghost seal, and he was holding this seal to freely enter and exit the gate of ghosts."

I know this, last time Master Ma told me about me, so I said: "But even if I can enter and leave the Yin and Yang worlds, so what, I can't save her from the Wangchuan River?"

The ghost mother-in-law smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't you know how to tie paper? You can rescue her by making a dark boat into the Wangchuan River."

"It's that simple? Can we rescue her from the Wangchuan River?" At this moment, I was both surprised and happy. If this is the case, I immediately wanted to tie a paper boat to go down, and it happened that the two jade pendants were at this moment. It's all on me.

Unexpectedly, the next sentence of the ghost mother-in-law made me feel cold for a while. She said: "This is not easy. A paper boat cannot be burned to the underworld if it is tied up. It can only be taken directly there. How can ordinary paper boats pass through?" Can you stand up to the turbulent waves of the Wangchuan River?"

Yes, according to legend, the Wangchuan River is full of turbulent waves and huge waves, and ghosts, insects and snakes are all over the river. Once an ordinary paper boat enters the Wangchuan River, even if it is not soaked by the river water, it will be scratched and rotted by ghosts, insects and snakes. The ghosts in the Wangchuan River have been trapped in the river for hundreds of thousands of years. When they see a boat coming in, how could they not swarm towards them?How could a small paper boat withstand such a toss.

"Does the mother-in-law know how to make this kind of paper boat?" I can only pin my hopes on the ghost mother-in-law, hoping she can know some tricks.

However, the ghost mother-in-law didn't know, she shook her head and said: "How can you old people in the paper making business know, don't you know the art of controlling paper, you should have a way."

The art of paper control?I shook my head with a wry smile.Although I am a member of the paper-making group, I have never learned the art of paper control. However, Ma Zhenren said that his apprentice Cao Qilong is his true biography. It seems that we can only wait for the return of this senior brother Cao who has been wandering around. See if he knows how to make this kind of paper boat from time to time.

At this time, the ghost mother-in-law said that she has already told everything she knows, and it depends on you whether you can do it.After finishing speaking, I won't say any more, thanked us for our kindness in setting up a private house for her, and went down...

In the few days after I went back, I was in an extremely bad mood. On the one hand, it was the departure of Master Ma, which made me a lonely person in this world again. On the other hand, it was naturally Lin Xiaoqi's business. , but powerless...

Regarding Lin Xiaoqi's matter, I didn't know what to do, so I had to keep praying that Senior Brother Cao would come back soon and teach me the art of paper control, so that I could set up a dark boat that could go down the Wangchuan River and save her. Lin Xiaoqi.

After a period of sadness and sadness, I gradually accepted the reality, put these things in my heart, and waited for Senior Brother Cao to come back.

For the next few days, I stayed in Ma Zhenren's shop.Make some paper figurines and paper horses every day, and sell some incense and paper products. Because of Ma Zhenren's relationship, people often come to the store to find him, asking him to fortune tell and solve disasters.Therefore, in addition to selling paper figurines, paper horses and other things, I have another business, which is fortune-telling and disaster relief.

However, the difference between me and Ma Zhenren is that Ma Zhenren never refuses anyone, no matter whether you are really in trouble or not, if you go to him and do the math, you will definitely figure out something.But I am different, if there is no disaster person coming, I will usually close the door to see off customers, which also results in nine out of ten people who enter the store will be invited out by me.

On this day, I was tying up a paper figurine in the shop, when suddenly a person walked in from the door, looked at me in the shop and found me, then asked me: "Excuse me, is the real Ma there?"

When I heard that I was looking for Master Ma, I couldn't help but say that another person who was taken advantage of by Master Ma came.So I said without looking back: "Real Ma is dead, please go back!"

He didn't know that the other party didn't believe it, he said: "This little brother really likes to joke, I really have something important to do with Ma Zhenren, can you please call him out for me?"

I said, "Master Ma is really dead, why lie to you?"

When the other party heard this, he stood at the door and paused for a while without making a sound, and then said: "The real Ma is dead, so why is your shop still there? Then you are?"

I thought to myself, what does it matter to you whether Ma Zhenren's shop is here?But I wouldn't say that in my mouth, I replied: "I am his grandson, if the family needs paper dolls and paper horses for funeral affairs, our store can deliver them to your door."

The other party hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, my family doesn't need that thing. You are the grandson of Ma Zhenren, so can you catch ghosts?"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but stop the work of piercing the paper in my hand, and turned to look at the person at the door.I saw that the person who came was a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a dark suit and black leather shoes. Although he was wearing a glamorous appearance, this person looked tired, obviously because he had encountered some troubles recently Things.Then I looked at the opponent's Yintang again, and found that his Yintang was black, obviously his luck was extremely bad, and his yin was extremely heavy, presumably he was really haunted by ghosts.

After understanding this, I also knew that the person who came today was really in trouble, so I put away my previous absent-minded look, hurried to the table in front of him, and asked him to sit down and talk.

The other party saw that I was interested, so he asked me: "My little brother also catches ghosts?"

I nodded, and it turned out that the other party had indeed encountered such a thing, so I naturally would not deliberately refuse, so I said: "Yes, Ma Zhenren is my elder, and I know what he knows. If you have any questions, you can directly Tell me!"

Although I clearly told him that I can catch ghosts, maybe the other party saw that I was too young, so he seemed a little hesitant.But this hesitation was only a blink of an eye, and soon he nodded and said: "Since my brother can catch ghosts, then I will tell you. The thing is like this. Haunted, tossing our whole family dare not stay at home. Alas!"

Listening to his helpless words, and seeing his face before, so I don't doubt what he said.So I asked him: "The house is haunted? What kind of trouble is it? Have you ever seen that dirty thing?"

The other party said: "I haven't seen it, but I have a child, but he sees that thing often, and it almost scares us."

Because the celestial cap has not yet closed, and the mind is relatively clean and pure, it is easier for children to see things that normal people cannot see.For example, in rural areas, children often point to a certain place and say there is so-and-so, but adults can’t see anything when they look over there. At this time, adults usually rush to take the child away, because the adults know that the child saw it ghost.

I said to the man: "Please tell me about the ghosts at home these days in detail, so that I can think of a way for you, see what is the reason, and what method to use."

The man nodded, and then he began to tell me about his house being haunted...

It turned out that the man's surname was Huang, and he lived in the urban area. The house had been bought for several years. It was a new house, and nothing wrong had happened to him.But about a few months ago, something happened in his house.
