Paper Person Village

ore he even reached the bottom of the stairs, Shao Yihang walked in, dangling one arm and smiling lightly.He was flanked by a group of black-suited bodyguards."What do you want to do" I asked, frownin..."What are you looking at Did you see women's products!" I took the night vision goggles from his hand speechless.

In the pitch-black environment, looking at things with this night vision device is quite frightening.

especially in this stifling atmosphere.

What you see in the frame is silver-white and reflective. The paper man wearing plastic skin looks like a white, floating humanoid.

The figure sitting in the room was even more terrifying, facing the door directly, and glancing at it once would make you sick with fear.

However, my brother's focus wasn't there. He nudged my arm and reminded me, "Look at the threshold under the paper man's feet, isn't there something like feminine hygiene products"

I lowered my gaze, and on the threshold, something hung down. It was long and rectangular with two rounded wings.

I was speechless. "You're way too observant!"

“This is a key clue! I have to go check it out. If it’s very old, then it probably has nothing to do with our purpose. But if it’s new, maybe it was left by those three unlucky girls Proof that they were here.” My brother said seriously.

This evidence is really embarrassing.

My brother was right, he pulled his bomber jacket's hood over his head and bent down as he walked toward the house.

After what happened before, I decided to start chanting the scriptures ahead of time and silently recite the magical incantations, hoping that Jiang Qiyun could sense where I was.

After reciting the Bao Gao, I thought for a moment and added two more sentences: "Great Compassionate Great Vow, Great Saint Great Mercy Emperor, please don't blame me for running around. This is a matter of life and death, and once I'm done, I'll go home. Sincerely taking refuge, sincerely taking refuge…"

Today is the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, the Jade Emperor must be very busy. With such a vast territory and widespread beliefs, countless devout followers, he probably can't respond to them all.

Who knew, suddenly a light chuckle sounded behind me, scaring the wits out of me.

Looking back, I saw Jiang Qiyun standing calmly behind me.

Clothed in deepest black, her sleeves flowed like clouds, hair tied up with a silken ribbon hanging down.

His attire was serious and solemn, but there was a hint of amusement in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

I was so surprised that my mouth dropped open in an O shape.

I really, rarely ever saw him dressed so elegantly and imposing.

Even his usually unrestrained, long hair was now adorned with a magnificent crown, which was further embellished with beaded curtains.

A vision of the imagined underworld ruler, as later people conceived him, flashed through my mind.

That air of otherworldly grace, that imposing bearing... except for the lack of a big belly and ferocious beard, the clothes are pretty much spot on.

"You, you...how did you come here..." I didn't know what to say for a moment.

Jiang Qiyun looked around at the gloomy surroundings, folded his arms slightly and bent over, smiling wryly at me: "This seat travels in all directions, enjoys sacrifices from all sides, and mortals chant so many precious scriptures that I can't respond to them all..."

"Suddenly, a young woman came forward and reported that she was going home after finishing her work. Who taught you such an unruly imperial decree"

...Oops....

I don't know what to say, my brother turned back and said angrily: "Isn't this what your Emperor usually does!"

My brother finished speaking and went into that room, too lazy to wait for me.

Looking at Jiang Qi's slightly narrowed eyes, I quickly explained, "I wasn't in danger, I just wanted to tell you that I'm here. I was afraid you'd blame me again... Didn't I say as soon as I finished I would go home"

What are you still doing here.

"You recited a heart-sincere pledge of allegiance, and I rushed over. As for what comes next, you'll hear it when we get there." Jiang Qiyun looked at me with amusement.

"...then I'll just refrain from reading randomly next time."

I just randomly said something, which wasted a lot of his time.

Jiang Qiyun leaned closer to me, lowering his voice: “All the believers and common people in the world, others cannot casually chant the scriptures of this deity. But you can, who made you the little empress…”

I felt my face getting hot, I didn't know how to respond.

Fortunately, the Lord Emperor didn't intend to have a private conversation in such a desolate and dull place. He glanced around indifferently and asked, "What life-or-death matter have you come here to do again"

"Um... several girls have gone missing after coming here..."

Jiang Qiyun nodded slightly and said in a soft voice, "Doing good is good, but be careful to take care of yourself."

"Uh-huh, I know." I nodded hastily. "If you're busy, just go ahead."

Jiang Qiyun reached out from his wide sleeves, grasped my finger, and chuckled softly: "Alas, the little lady of the underworld doesn't sit in the fairy palace or favor serenity. Instead, she runs around aimlessly all day long…"

"Where did I run off to" I felt a little wronged. I spend more time at home looking after the children than you, Your Majesty.

"The Qi in the North-West position is disrupted, can't you feel it Like a headless fly buzzing around aimlessly, saying it's not running blind" Jiang Qiyun retracted her hand and pinched my chin, whispering a reminder.

“Thank you, thank you.” I quickly obeyed obediently.

Jiang Qiyun smiled faintly and prepared to leave.

"That...you, you look pretty good like this too..." I pointed at the crown on his head.

Jiang Qiyun was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "The Twelve Regalia of the Emperor... we can talk about it later. ...Go home early."

As I watched his figure disappear, I whispered back, "Yes..."

>>

Once Jiang Qiyun appeared, the heavy atmosphere here seemed to be "shocked", much like the feeling of the moon emerging after clouds parted.

I felt a chill, quickly swallowed by the heavy air.

My brother beckoned me from the doorstep: "Little Qiao, come take a look…Is this unused"

I'm a little speechless. This winged vampire is indeed new, and there are no bloodstains. Perhaps it was thrown away carelessly and blown here by the wind, stuck on this threshold.

My brother was full of doubt. He pondered for a long time, then asked, "What's the point of using something that hasn't been used Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to put this under there Do you even use it when you're not on your period"

My scalp went numb, I teased, "Is there anything Lord Mu doesn't know"

"I'm not really familiar with that, it touches on my knowledge gaps." My brother shook his head.

“That… I heard it too, some people use it as an insole when they walk in the snow or mountain trails. It’s soft, warm and absorbent, maybe those girls used it to cushion their feet when they hiked” I guessed randomly.

My brother looked puzzled, and walked into the room to check in the dark.

I thought the paper man was too creepy, I didn't dare go in. I just took out my compass at the door to find the Gen (艮) position.

In gossip, gen represents mountains. In the Qian hexagram (先天卦), gen is in the northwest, but in the later hexagram (後天卦), it's in the northeast. We primarily use the latter hexagram.

The

Kan position is also known as the "Ghost Gate" or "Gate of Life," and it represents many meanings. Jiang Qiyun pointed out one sentence to me, so we don't have to search blindly all over the mountains and plains.

"Little Qiao, those girls definitely came here. There's a bag of snack wrappers, still pretty new. They must have stopped here before heading inside. It probably wasn't dark yet, so they didn't know to be afraid." My brother frowned.

The moon had risen, and the dark valley began to glow. Following the compass, I found our position and called out to my brother to follow me inside.

Knowing that Jiang Qiyun was always watching me, I became a little bolder. My brother checked several dilapidated houses along the way and found paper figures in almost every one.

And some of these paper figures were wrapped in plastic sheeting, while others were even dressed in the clothes of living people.

The only thing they have in common is that they don't have eyeballs.

"What in the world is going on..."e have to keep it..." I asked, hugging his neck.As long as they got closer, the pain in their body could be relieved. This female silkworm must miss her husband.Mu Wanchen pondered for a moment, shook...
