Chapter 5: Paper Tie Man
"Double Fury …… Soul Hooking Lamp?"
Meng Fan sniffed, his heart turned over in a huge wave, all of this was surprisingly related to feng shui!
He had flipped through a book on Feng Shui in the library during his leisure time in college, and Feng Shui academically was called Geomancy. Feng Shui was the power of nature, the great magnetic field energy of the universe.
Wind is Yuan Qi and field energy, and water is flow and change.
Feng Shui is the art of the phase of the ground, that is, the method of the field of inspection of geography, also known as geophysical, the ancient name of geomancy, which is a study of the environment and the laws of the universe of philosophy, there is a scientific rationale for its existence.
This is the geomancy of feng shui.
"It is indeed the Double Fury Soul Hooking Lamp!" Another brilliant light flashed in Granny Zhang's eyes, "Now look at the rice on the ground!"
"Huh?"
Meng Fan was stunned and looked down, suddenly noticing that the white glutinous rice on the ground had changed color!
Half of it was reddish red, and half of it was turquoise!
"This is ……"
Meng Fan broke out in a cold sweat, the color change of the glutinous rice just confirmed what Granny Zhang had said, Zhentian Fury Reddish Red, Piercing Heart Fury Turquoise, out of breath, he asked, "How can this be?"
"Glutinous rice is born with the efficacy of absorbing evil qi, just now the old body has already seen, you have two colors of red and blue evil qi intertwined on your body, you have indeed seen the Double Fury Soul Hooking Lamp, not the bullshit red and green lamps that you said, not only am I the only one who can see it, but even the Ah Fu in the courtyard can see it." Granny Zhang's tone was cold and stern.
Meng Fan said with a straight face, "Pillar and I did see the red and green lights on our way back to the village, now according to you, it should be the Two-colored Soul Hooking Lamp, if only I had come to find Granny earlier."
"You wouldn't have been able to find me even earlier, I only returned to the village today." Granny Zhang's face was expressionless.
"Granny Zhang, is there a way to break it?" Meng Fan sighed.
"There are three ways to crack the bane, one is the elimination method, the second is the impulse method, and the third is the dissolution method." Granny Zhang smiled wryly, her face mildened, but her tone was still unsympathetic, "But this Soul Hooking Lamp is transformed by the Double Sirens, and the heaviness of the Sirens is the only thing that I have seen in my life, so I can only say that I will try it."
"Try or not." Meng Fan took a long breath, his heart was slightly relaxed, this granny's behavior and demeanor is very mysterious, saying that it may not really be able to help him avoid this calamity, it is better than him bumping around like a headless fly, so he said, "Then I'll be grateful to granny."
"Hmph, even if it's a trial, the price the old body pays is extremely high!"
Granny Zhang glared at Meng Fan, revealing a very reluctant look as she picked up the paper man that she hadn't tied up earlier, and tied up the paper man without any distractions.
"As long as I can save my life, I'm willing to spend the rest of my life repaying Granny, and I also want to give Zhu Zi a grave every year and burn paper, if he doesn't pick me up and take me home, he wouldn't have run into this kind of thing, and if I didn't have parents, I would really like to accompany Zhu Zi a piece of the road ……"
Meng Fan said, the face of the sadness, would like to say burn female paper people thing, but see Zhang granny here female paper people are not very good looking, then hold back did not say, because the column deliberately explained, to burn good-looking female paper people.
"Don't be noisy!"
Granny Zhang rebuked, and then, as if her dry fingers were suddenly filled with spirituality, they flew up and down at a staggering speed.
After about a quarter of an hour, she had already glued the paper man's body, and made his clothes and hat, and then picked up an ink brush and drew on the paper man's face, and his five senses appeared, and upon closer inspection, the paper man's looks were a bit similar to Meng Fan's, except that he didn't have any eyeballs drawn on it either.
After doing all this, Mrs. Zhang took a look at Meng Fan who had a strange expression and said in a cold voice, "Your birth date."
Meng Fan hurriedly gave out his birth year and month, and Granny Zhang then wrote his birth year and eight characters onto a piece of yellow paper, stuffed it into a red paper bag, and then put it into the paper man's body.
"A drop of blood from your eyebrow is also needed." Granny Zhang rolled her eyes.
"Uh-huh."
It was a matter of life and death, and a drop of blood from the brow was a small matter, so Meng Fan hurriedly leaned over and poked his head in front of Granny Zhang.
Granny Zhang took out a silver needle and stabbed Meng Fan in the center of his eyebrow, squeezing out a drop of blood with force, the blood was as black as ink, strangely black.
"The Fatal Qi has already been incorporated into the bloodline, thanks to you coming in time, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the night."
Granny Zhang dipped her finger in the blood, vaguely chanting words Meng Fan couldn't understand, and pressed on the paper man's eyebrow, which suddenly pressed out a round blood spot.
Strangely enough, as soon as this blood dot appeared on the paper man's brow, Meng Fan felt that he and the paper man seemed to have a connection in the underworld, a feeling of blood connection, a feeling that if someone struck the paper man twice, he would also feel the pain.
"Thank you granny."
Meng Fan already had gratitude towards Granny Zhang, even if he couldn't succeed, just for this paper man, Meng Fan had to express his gratitude, in his opinion, this paper man was beautifully modeled, it was a work of art, and could even apply for Intangible Cultural Heritage.
"Bring it." Granny Zhang was indifferent to Meng Fan's gratitude, but extended her dry hand.
"What else is needed?" Meng Fan was a bit confused, "Granny just tell me."
"Two hundred dollars." Granny Zhang looked cold, "The paper man's skeleton is compiled from deep mountain sunward bamboo, and the wax paper used is also top quality, charging you two hundred is not expensive."
"Well well …… life saving things can't be measured in price."
Meng Fan blushed and smiled, then pulled out his pockets, his face instantly red: "Can it be cheaper, only fifty, the rest of the money can not be owed first, and will definitely pay back later."
When he returned to the village, there was not much money left, this time he came to look for Granny Zhang, he was in a hurry on his way out, and did not have time to take it.
"Bring it."
Granny Zhang reached out and took the money, and even shone a light at the window, seeing that it wasn't fake money before putting it away.
Following this, she did something that made Meng Fan's jaw drop, she even reached out and stripped the paper man of his clothes: "Fifty dollars won't get you any free clothes, the cost isn't even enough, just give him your own clothes."
"Granny ……" Meng Fan asked in embarrassment, "Is this still okay?"
"Meng family scion, this you don't understand, wearing your own clothes works better, I'm giving you a discount because I see that you're one of my own, if you were someone else, it wouldn't be a penny less."
Zhang granny once again wry smile, "Come on, I teach you the use of paper people, you go home, when the sky falls dark, will paper people placed on the bed, with the child's urine dipped in ink, point on the eyes, will be accomplished, and then, you only need to hide in the bottom of the bed, peace of mind to sleep until dawn can be. Fifty dollars for a life, do you think it's worth it?"
"Uh-huh." Meng Fan nodded, then shyly glanced at Granny Zhang, "Is it okay to use child urine instead of water?"
"Of course not!" Granny Zhang gave Meng Fan a slightly despicable look, "Does that mean you're not a child anymore? Young people nowadays, they are too unclean, why don't you buy our family's creek? Girl child urine is also possible ……"
