Living Paper

Huo Zhenye's eyes were shocked, and his brows were furrowed. He clearly saw Bai Li hugging his lover's bones and turning them into ashes. Where did his body come from?

Bai Zhun stared at Bai Li's face in the coffin, tapped the armrest of the bamboo chair twice with his fingertips, and said in a low voice, "My senior brother's lover was killed by you."

The woman in black suddenly turned around, she looked first at Bai Zhun, then at Bai Yang, and fell down in front of the cabinet.

"Use that woman's life to let your senior brother steal the meth, and use them as your test subjects."

Bai Yang laughed out loud. He pressed Bai Li's face, but his voice could not be changed: "You are much smarter than your senior brother."

Bai Yang is the first paper figurine that Bai Qi made after entering the Seven Gates.

Bai Qi is also an orphan. His master picked him up and treated him very harshly and indifferently. He not only made him serve food and drink, but also left him alone in the house after opening his eyes.

Demons and ghosts gathered around the small courtyard, some hid in the well platform, some hid in the stove, and appeared from time to time to frighten Bai Qi. He told the master, and the master only said: "If you are afraid of ghosts, why don't you learn it?" .”

While talking, he pointed to the blind beggar at the door: "Like him, you can't see anything."

Xiao Baiqi made a paper puppet out of thick bamboo to keep her company. This paper puppet is Bai Yang.

It doesn't even have a human shape, it's just a tumbler made out of white paper, with a round head and a round body, eyebrows and eyes. Although it is simple and rough, Bai Qileg regards it as a playmate and loves it very much.

He ate and slept with the paper puppet until he was discovered by Bai Qi's master.

He broke the paper puppet with one foot, even if he is a tumbler, he must never touch his eyes!

He locked Bai Qi in a dark room, and fined him to grind a hundred bamboos before letting him out.

At that time, Bai Yang had already produced a spiritual fire, which was only the size of a firefly, and got into the small window to accompany Bai Qi to sleep.

Xiao Baiqi solemnly swore to Yinghuo: "I will definitely give you another body in the future."

The more refined he is in his art, the more alive the paper figurines he makes. Bai Yang chooses the ones he likes, and they act under the eyes of Master Bai Qi.

Anyway, the paper figurines can move, and they will be replaced every now and then, which makes it seem that Bai Qi doesn't have a preference for any paper figurine.

If there is no preference, there will be no spirituality.

Bai Yang even knew a little bit of the seven secret arts, he was so flexible, the paper figurines he made could even fool Bai Qi's master in terms of craftsmanship.

But there is one thing that Bai Yang can't do.

The paper man he made can't move, and the paper bird can't fly.

Bai Qi's master thought that the apprentice's level was good and bad, sometimes he could move, sometimes he couldn't, so he often punished him with a ruler until his calf was dripping with blood.

He is about to die. If the apprentice still can't learn it, how can he pass it on?

When Bai Qi was 16 years old, her master still died. No matter how bad the master was to him, it would be a kindness to him again. He took care of the funeral for the master.

A full set of paper horses were tied, silver mountains and golden bridges, and Dharma boats crossed the sea of ​​darkness.

When Bai Yang was born, it was because of fear and hatred. He hated Bai Qi's master for not a day or two. He floated in the air, looked at the corpse in the coffin, and got in.

Bai Qi was holding tinfoil ingots when she came in. When she saw Master sitting up, the ingots scattered all over the floor in fright: "Master? You...you didn't..."

People have been dead for three days, and there is already a smell in the coffin.

Bai Qi came back to her senses immediately, it turned out that what Master said was true, paper is a living being, and there are delusions.

He pretended to be relieved, and said to Bai Yang: "What a fool, come out quickly! Master's body is not allowed to be desecrated."

Bai Yang floated out obediently. He had grown from a little firefly to a ball the size of a fist, floating around Bai Qi: "Can you give me a human body? I want to be human."

He was too close to Bai Qi, so he didn't care if he said it so frankly.

He can't tell good from evil at all.

"After the master's funeral, I'll make you a good one." Bai Qi answered him this way, nailed the coffin, and after seven seven days, he personally tied the paper figurine for Bai Yang.

The paper figurine looks like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, wearing a gown and braids, and looks very handsome.

Bai Yang was floating beside him watching, the green light flickered, and he commented on his eyebrows: "That's right, it looks a bit like you."

On the day when the paper figurine was tied up, Bai Qi pointed to the opening in the heart: "You go in from here."

Bai Yang got into the paper cavity, and the part of his heart was filled with yellow paper. Bai Qi said to it, "This will be your body from now on."

Under the sun, he is no different from a human being. He and Bai Qi pretended to be brothers and sisters at the beginning, and undertook funerals together. For ordinary people's funerals, the pierced things don't need to be able to move, as long as the work is done well.

Later, as Bai Qi got older and the appearance of the paper figurine never changed, Bai Yang pretended to be his younger brother, and then his apprentice, and they stayed together for more than ten years.

Until Bai Qi finally accepted the first apprentice, he loved this apprentice very much and taught him to protect him.

He saw Bai Yang hovering over the child's bedside, touching his skin and hair lightly with his paper hands, and when he turned his head and saw Bai Qi entering the room, he laughed and said, "Look, he kicked the quilt."

Bai Yang is no longer like before, he can say whatever he has, he knows how to hide his desire and hide his malice.

Bai Qi finally made up his mind, he prepared firewood and cinnabar, who knew that Bai Yang had already had a different intention, and immediately saw through it. He wanted to get out of the paper cavity, only then did he find out that the yellow paper that filled his heart was a cinnabar charm, and Bai Qi put it on his chest. Trapped in this paper cavity.

Bai Yang thought of the past and trembled with hatred: "He thought he burned me to death, but I didn't die, it's the sky that never killed me." But he turned into a firefly again, unable to speak or perform spells, floating in the sky. Four fields are no different from birds and insects.

He thought of revenge all the time, and it took more than ten years before he had the strength to attach himself to the newly dead corpse, and the villagers thought he was dead.

Almost died again.

"So you killed your brother's lover, and then told him that there is a way to resurrect."

"That's right." Bai Yang couldn't restrain his complacency, he toyed with the two people from the Qimen while applauding.

The author has something to say: the moment when the villain dies
