Yan ghost

Qing Huai stood on the wing of the Peng bird with her hands behind her back.

The Yanshi around him stood in their respective positions, or chanted mantras or handwritten talismans, and turned their hands and hands to attract the soul.The wooden armor on the shore was lined up in several rows, and the red runes swirled around them, rising and falling one after another.The soul was pulled into pieces of black silk by the soul-separating curse and sent into the Pengniao.The wooden armor fell down one after another, and was finally carried by Takagi on their backs and piled up in one place.

Everything is in order.

With a whoosh, an arrow shot on the mast and passed through Qinghuai's ear.He staggered and almost fell into the water.

"Why did you run away suddenly?" Xiaoyu's voice came from behind.

"You can call me Qinghuai." Qinghuai collected herself and turned around.

"Whatever your name is..."

"I'm not familiar with His Highness, let me tell you, this matter will definitely not work out." Qinghuai leaned on Xiaoyu's shoulders and said, "Let's talk about it. Don't you have a good talk."

Xiaoyu shook her shoulders, walked down from Pengniao, and muttered: "Who can talk well with that wolf-hearted person..."

Qing Huai thought, for the gentle Feng Zhu, he called out one traitor at a time, and he didn't know how this King Huai offended him so heartily.

He caught up with Xiaoyu and said, "Don't be so angry. Look at these ghosts, Cheng Pengniao didn't even pay. Didn't I accept a loss-making business for you for King Huai?"

The guard at the side chuckled: "Your Highness does not do business at a loss. The discarded wooden armor will be handed over to the capital at that time, and the recycling fee will be considerable."

The two were dumbfounded when they heard this.

Qinghuai sighed: "It's sad like a low tree. It's worthless when it's alive, but it can make money for others after it's destroyed."

Xiaoyu looked into the distance and said, "Those Takagi are pitiful. They thought they were kind enough to help, but they worked for free."

"King Huai's move can kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he gained a good reputation for doing good deeds, and on the other hand, he cleared up the troubled people for the emperor. Both sides will not be offended." Qing Huai said, suspiciously, "He is so penny-pinching, can he really promise to everyone Gao Mu? "As soon as this question was asked, Xiaoyu nodded, and the guard shook his head.

The guard said: "It takes time and money to be Takagi, how can I agree easily."

Xiaoyu said: "But didn't he say that every time you do ghost power, you can draw lots to win Takagi?"

"Drawing lots?" Qing Huai secretly thought, what a silly boy.He turned his head and said to the guard: "In this way, most of the ghosts still have no body when they get there, and they have to continue to draw lots with ghost power until they are drawn. Even so, are they willing to give up their bodies?"

The guard said twice: "Don't think of our Highness so stingy. When we reach the border, everyone can get the marker."

"Leading wood?" Qing Huai was startled.

The guard said: "Don't you know? Your Highness has always wanted to renovate the border, and has already applied to the emperor for funding to make markers. I think you should change it quickly. It is much better than the current body."

When Low Mu heard their conversation, he couldn't help interjecting: "Although the girl's proposal was more attractive, Takagi is rare after all, and we can understand His Highness's difficulties."

Another person also said: "Actually, it is enough for me to have a marker, Gao Mu or something, don't force it. I really want to get to the border soon!"

The two inquired around, and found that the low woods were all satisfied with King Huai's decision, so they returned to the Pengniao.

Xiaoyu asked: "What was the standard wood they were talking about just now?"

Qinghuai said: "The standard wood is a common name for the standard wooden armor. It refers to the wooden armor made by qualified Yanshi that meets the minimum standard. It is said that it is the minimum standard, but there are actually five pieces in total."

Xiaoyu groaned, seeming a little curious, Qinghuai became interested, and explained: "The first one is speech. Ghosts are born to see things, hear sounds, and speak. The first two are receiving, and after possessing the soul, they Achievable. Only speech is the output, and the wood armor is required to have a sound generator.

This sound machine is like a musical instrument, which seems simple, but it is very different from good to bad.If you look at me, you can't hear the original voice.And you—" Qinghuai said to Xiaoyu's slender neck, "you can switch freely from the original voice to the girl's voice. "

Xiaoyu said: "So if I had a broken voice during my lifetime, as long as I have a high-level puppet after death, I can still sing around the beam?"

Qinghuai nodded, and said again: "The second is expression. Without expression, it is difficult to communicate, and if you cannot communicate, you will not be respected. The standard wooden doll has all five senses and can make a slightly stiff expression. Like me, you can't smile or frown. You can't tell if I'm sad or angry."

Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Speaking of it, there is an expression for burning red and burning white."

"Of course." Qing Huai said, "Although they are not human-shaped wooden armors, their quality is far higher than that of standard wood. This second rule also requires non-human-shaped wooden armor to have expressions, after all, they are filled with ghosts. Well."

Xiaoyu said it was reasonable.Qinghuai added: "But Biaomu doesn't ask to be able to cry, only Takagi can cry."

Xiaoyu blinked involuntarily, and asked, "What about the third one?"

"The third is action." Qing Huai said, "I seem to be able to do this, but I am not qualified. My body is connected by wooden balls, but the number of joints is seriously insufficient, so the movements I can do are limited."

Qinghuai said again: "There is another extremely important subdivision in the action item, which is the hand. Making the hand is exquisite and time-consuming, so if you want to judge whether a Yanshi is qualified, you only need to see if he can do the hand well. "

Qinghuai showed Xiaoyu her hands, and said, "Fourth is the material. I still failed in this. The strings connected to my interior are very easy to crack, and they will break when I turn my hand. The markers have to go through a series of pressures. Test. Yanshi will hit wood with a hammer to test the hardness, and hang strings with stones of different weights to test the toughness. There are also dozens of tests such as waterproof and durability." Xiaoyu squeezed Qinghuai's wrist and Compare yourself.

Qinghuai said: "The last one is aesthetics." Xiaoyu asked: "Aesthetics is so subjective, can it be used as a standard?" Qinghuai said: "Good question. This one is indeed controversial. Rather than saying it is a standard, it is actually more like a requirement .”

"Aesthetics has a great influence on the treatment of ghosts in the world, which should not be underestimated. Yanshi who opposed it believed that the world should not discriminate because of the ugliness of wooden armor. Putting it into the five articles is to allow the world to judge people by their appearance. Supporters said, requiring It is too ideal for others not to discriminate, and only by asking Yanshi to pay attention to aesthetics can the tragedy of Mujia be fundamentally changed." Xiaoyu nodded, seeming to support the latter.

Qing Huai went on to say: "The "Five Standards of Marking Wood" were set by Yan before.He was a person who hated rules, never summed up for students, and did not encourage students to sum up by themselves.He believes that rules mean rushing for success and restricting creation, which is tantamount to suicide on the road of Yanshu.

Hagana relies on experience and inspiration.Talented people can realize methods without learning, and rules often limit their performance.Those without talent, although they can learn Hagana through the law, can't make it long-term.Temporary success allowed them to go longer, but one day they saw their limits, were left far behind by the talented, and became mediocre.

It is also because of this that Xiang Yan won the title of "the most hated hagana tutor by students", and he came here admiringly for scholars, but always left without success, and even the most proud student eventually betrayed. "

After saying this, Xiaoyu looked sad, Qinghuai thought that he had said something wrong again, and quickly changed his words: "But do you know? These five principles were not implemented during the rise of Yanshu." Xiaoyu turned his head.

"During the period of war, Yanshi had three teachings and nine streams, low trees were flooded, and ghosts possessed their bodies but could not leave their souls, resulting in repeated tragedies. It was at this time that the five signs of wood appeared to restrain Yanshi. The emperor and King Huai responded to this They are both highly respected, but the two finally adopted completely different methods, one destroys the low wood, and the other distributes the mark wood."

"If Xiang Yan is still here, he should agree with the latter," Xiaoyu said.

"Look at those low woods looking full of anticipation, don't you know?"

The two stared at the Yanshi Lihun for a long time.Qinghuai suddenly said: "How about I teach you a few spells?"

Xiaoyu asked: "Why should I learn that?" Qinghuai said: "Aren't you afraid of being separated from your soul again and falling into the hands of people with evil intentions?"

"What evil intentions!" Xiaoyu was a little excited, but then she stroked the doll's delicate skin and said in a low voice, "Teach me."

Qinghuai led Xiaoyu to the edge of the Pengniao and sat down, bent over to soak some water, and drew a spell on the ground.Xiaoyu was a complete layman to Yanshu, and before he understood it, the spell written by the water faded away.

Later, Qinghuai taught her a few more times, but Xiaoyu didn't learn it, so she practiced on her own in a muffled voice, ignoring Qinghuai.Qinghuai knew that he was very angry, and was deeply ashamed of her own insensitivity, so she didn't dare to give more advice, but just watched patiently.

"Your handwriting is so beautiful." Qing Huai said suddenly.

"It's not as good as before." Xiaoyu sighed.

"Flying birds spin, clank and vertical."

Xiaoyu was surprised and asked: "You know me?" That was the evaluation of his calligraphy in the past.

Qinghuai said: "You two Xiang family brothers had a good life, no one has heard of it. The elder brother's wooden armor is unparalleled, and the younger brother's calligraphy and painting are hard to find."

Xiaoyu laughed dryly: "But even if this puppet is ingenious now, my hands are not what they used to be after all."

"It's better than being reincarnated. It would be a pity if even the talent is gone." Xiaoyu nodded, but Qinghuai remembered Fengzhu again.

The two sat for a while, but they didn't know that the red burning and white burning had been floating behind them to watch.

Bai Zhuo said: "They seem to get along very well." Hong Shao said: "From a distance, I thought it was Xiao Yu and Feng Zhu sitting together."

Bai Zhuo shook his tail and said, "I feel like a young master."

"He's so stupid, how can he resemble him." Hong Shao spit out a string of bubbles.

Bai Zhuo said: "Didn't you realize that every time Xiaoyu is with Feng Zhu, he is the one who talks, but when he is with Young Master, he always listens."

Hong Shao suddenly said: "It seems so. The young master talks a lot about wooden armor every time. It's endless and boring. I don't know how Xiaoyu can bear it."

Bai Zhuo said: "You don't understand, Xiaoyu is cold on the surface, but he can actually rely on the young master. It is the young master who always has no time to accompany him, so he is so stubborn."

The work of possessing the soul was finally over, but at this time the guard brought a good news and a bad news.

The good news is that the roc has been able to carry all the remaining people and wooden armors, and there is no need for more wooden armors to abandon their bodies.The bad news is that the ghost power is still not enough, and more wood armor souls are needed to provide power.

Pengniao complained a lot.Someone said: "How much ghost power do you need? You can't fly for a long time, right?"

Qing Huai stood up and said: "Actually, there are wooden armors from Yanshi, don't worry too much, Yanshi can take care of your body." But after he finished speaking, no one responded.

Qing Huai said again: "So many low woods have already given up their bodies, and we have nothing to lose. I will go down now, who would like to come with me?" Some wooden armors began to discuss with Yanshi, but still no one spoke.

Qinghuai turned back and said: "Bai Zhuo, you go with me. It's not that they don't want to try, but someone has to take the lead. After we go down, we can choose a few parts that are together, and we can chat along the way to relieve boredom." Bai Zhuo Hong Shao agreed with one voice.

He turned to Xiaoyu again and said, "We'll be back soon. Just keep an eye on the two of them. It doesn't matter if I lose my puppet, maybe I can use it to change a marker."

"I can throw it away for you." Xiaoyu said.

"Hahahaha. Mujia Lihun!"

After Qinghuai sang, her body fell down, leaving only a soul standing in place.The soul seemed unwilling to be exposed to the eyes of the public, lowered its face, and hurriedly sneaked into the Pengniao.

"Son!"

"Xiang Yan..."
