1444 The Mist Clears

cefully. The blood bead oozing from Song Wei's forehead burned my hand and made my heart race with panic.How could there be so much blood The wound isn't very big, why is the blood coming out like it'...Jiang Qiyun's words were rather subtle. To go back There are generally two places to go back to, one is my small building, the other is his Pure Bliss Heaven.

I don't know what other immortals and gods build their own caves and paradises for. Perhaps it's for cultivation, or perhaps it's for peace and quiet.

And he, he only wanted to give us a place to be alone.

Everything in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss was gradually created by him. When he had free time, he would create more things. If he didn't have free time, he wouldn't even look at them for half a year.

Since Jiang Qiyun became detached from worldly affairs a few years ago, his temperament has become much more tranquil.

Sometimes, I wonder if immortals and deities also have their own cycles

For example, there are days every month when I need to drink hot water, like during menopause.

The negative energy in their meditation center, perhaps when it accumulates to a certain extent, could make it easier for them to "become demonic".

I happened to meet him when Jiang Qiyun was at his most irritable.

He has dispelled his obsessions, let go of some attachments, and now he's become more easygoing. He even indulges me at times.

"...Mu Xiaoqiao, what are you daydreaming about" Jiang Qiyun didn't wait for my answer, and frowned slightly as he looked at me.

Such a gloomy and quiet old alley, coupled with his dark clothes, only showing his jade-like wrists, neck and face, makes him very "eye-catching".

I'll feel a bit lightheaded.

"I... I was thinking, where are you going back to I didn't react in time." I answered honestly.

"Where do you want to go back to" He raised his chin slightly, with a hint of harsh mockery in his voice. "No matter how much you struggle in the world, you'll have to return to Yin Jing Tian Palace in the end, won't you"

I smiled, and he reached out his hand, his cool fingers closing around mine under my sleeve.

"You've been off lately, your mind scattered and your brows furrowed with worry. Now that Lin Yanhuan's matter is resolved, why don't you put aside the mundane world and come back to Yinjingtian Palace with me for a while" Jiang Qyun pulled me closer, raising his hand to touch my face.

His gentle words held me spellbound.

When I nodded, my brother leaned against the doorframe and coughed twice: “You guys can go wherever you want, but can you at least figure out this paper man thing first”

I glanced at Jiang Qiyun and sought his opinion. The fox spirit's ghost was very afraid of him, a deity from the underworld, worried about being taken in.

Jiang Qiyun nodded slightly, tucked his sleeves, and walked away, lest the fox spirit's soul be released and scare him half to death.

This kitsune is actually quite obedient and hasn't shown much of a wicked desire. She's been very honest while she's been with me these past few days, and even enjoys being confined to the box.

At this time, open the box and summon it forth. A wisp of green smoke emerges from within the box, forming a hazy figure of a woman with a fox's head.

Sometimes I also feel nostalgic about living in such a bizarre circle, these bizarre sights from the initial surprise to now already accustomed.

"...Little Madam, what commands do you have for me" The fox spirit's soul was somewhat flickering, as if near Jiang Qiyun it found it difficult to gather its ghostly energy.

"We need a little soul to 'bring to life' this paper man. Once the paper man gets back home, you can come back." I explained simply.

The fox demon hesitated, whispering, "My lady, some sorcerers use paper figures to capture souls. I'm afraid that if we encounter such a sorcerer, he will mercilessly destroy me..."

"Don't worry, we'll make it through. We won't let you have a chance to encounter outsiders." I reassured him.

The vixen nodded. "My lady commands, and I shall obey."

It took quite a while to make this paper figurine, but Old Lady She had been doing it her whole life. She was eager to get rid of us, the people blocking the door. It took her over two hours, until around midnight, before she finished the female paper figurine.

This woman's skin is fair, and the flush on her face isn't a jarring red spot, but rather like the color of peach blossoms gently brushing over it, appearing soft and natural.

When I saw this woman, I was stunned. Besides her skin color and height, she looked just like an ordinary, petite woman. Even her braids were made of thin silk thread glued to a headpiece and tied with rubber bands into plaits.

More like a paper doll.

"This is the bride," the child whispered. "Ordinary paper dolls don't need to be this complicated."

“Does that mean this thing costs 100,000” Archie twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn’t help but say, “This old woman is cunning! The young master just said he was willing to pay ten times more for one, and she immediately made the most expensive one. All that prevarication before was an act, wasn't it A million for this paper figure This is robbery!”

My brother raised his hand. “Shut up, don’t embarrass yourself.”

Don't even talk about a million, maybe even ten million my brother would be willing to spend, after all, this is something that needs to be taken back to Grandma for temporary residence. As long as it can "come alive," then there's no problem!

She Lao Tai didn't come out from behind the curtain, but only let the child carry this paper figure out for us to see. Her breath was unsteady as she said: "This is what you want, the ghosts you brought can temporarily enter, there are runes on the bamboo bone... But if the transcendence is not thorough, this ghost is unwilling to leave, don't come to me... I'm just a paper figurine craftsman."

"...Alright, let's give it a shot." My brother winked at me.

At this time, the moon was high in the sky, and midnight had arrived. The fox spirit's ghost slipped into the paper figure. In the dim light, the paper figure leaning against the wall suddenly stood up straight. Perhaps unaccustomed to this body, it turned around and bumped into the wall.

"Ouch..." The fox spirit lost her balance and stumbled backward, landing flat on her back.

This scene... I've seen it before, Aunt Zhang has too. When she can't control her body, she becomes very stiff.

My brother couldn't help but complain, "Grandma, why is this paper figure so stiff It can't be used normally! It can't even stand properly, how is it supposed to be used"

Elder She raged, “People buy those to burn! You bought one to keep as a living person, of course it’s lacking. And you scared away the ghosts and spirits I was keeping in my house. Without proper care, they naturally appear stiff and unnatural.”

I couldn't help but say, "Old lady, if you continue to nurture things here like this, I'm afraid this place will become a sinister gathering of spirits in the future. It would be better not to raise those restless souls and wandering ghosts anymore... I see some paper ash and leftover talismans on the road outside. They must be used to attract the restless spirits and wandering ghosts around you. In the long run, there will be consequences."

She Lao Tai snorted coldly from behind the black curtain: "I know more than you, little girl My family has been practicing this art for almost a hundred years, passed down through three generations! We bear the five deficiencies and three lacks, so what are we afraid of This is ancestral craftsmanship, it cannot be abandoned."

Nearly a hundred years A hundred years is a milestone, perhaps the variables are changing day by day.

I looked at the child in front of me. This child seemed to have been raised in isolation. He was used to things in his own family, but he was rather clueless when it came to strangers.

If something happened here, how did this half-grown boy and this old woman get out unharmed

My brother muttered, "You're overthinking things. Why do you care so much"

“As Jiang Qiyun just said, if we stay here for too long, this place will become a gathering spot for negative energy. Then all sorts of demons, ghosts, and malevolent spirits will be drawn here. And don't you remember The followers of those demon lords are still deliberately creating places of negativity and ill omen…” I told my brother.

My brother furrowed his brow: "We can't control everything, let's just leave them our contact information. If anything unusual happens, we can talk then. Right now, we need to focus on what's in front of us."

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Who knew that Old Madam She didn't want our money at all, not a single copper. She only wanted us to leave quickly and never come back.

The fox spirit's soul, having stayed in the paper man for a while, had adapted slightly and could stiffly step out of the room. Old Madam She hid behind the door and whispered, “It’s best to avoid sunlight, and… it’s best to avoid things involving passion.”

Pfft, cough cough, this... matters of the flesh! This question...

We glanced at each other. We didn't dare to say or ask anything about what was happening with grandpa and grandma over there!bout that old monster who lived for how many years, huh" I mused over her words.From what I understand, the Old Monster entered the tomb. He saw what was ahead, perhaps even seeing the formation and g...
