Yan ghost

Qing Huai wakes up early in the morning and sees his new apprentice Fang Xin leaning against the door with a piece of cake in his hand.She took a bite of the cake, but didn't eat it again, she was busy flirting with the female ghost beside her.

Qinghuai has a deep understanding of this apprentice's single-minded orientation these days.Every time a male ghost came, the apprentice would drive him away just like he did back then.All female ghosts, no matter how beautiful they are, imply that they are also women when they go up.Those female ghosts let go of their vigilance, and expressed their original love for the beautiful boy without any concealment.

But such an apprentice actually once had a husband.When Qinghuai heard that, she almost fell out of the doll in fright.He thought that the reason why he wanted to teach her how to make a man doll was because she didn't understand the structure of a man's body.She didn't want her to have a husband before, if it wasn't that the two of them had never been husband and wife, or they were pretending to be stupid in front of her.

However, in Qing Huai's view, the apprentice's short-lived marriage is still very valuable.The apprentice's home is in Kuifang, which is the northernmost part of Kuifang. The climate is harsh and the sunshine is very short. There is no sun for half a year.She married a businessman and left home to the border at the age of 15, where she happened to escape the Battle of Chilan in Kaifang.

And the marriage ended because of the war.The turbulent situation helped the apprentice disintegrate the inherent secular views in his heart.She was no longer imprisoned by thoughts that she didn't care about, and she didn't want to deceive her husband anymore, so she chose to leave and delve into dolls.

Qinghuai asked his apprentice, since he was a Yanshi, why he didn't choose to go to the guild.She said how could she not have thought about it, but she failed the guild exam.Qinghuai thought that there must be something unreasonable in screening out such a talented Yanshi in this exam, but he was afraid that his apprentice would be proud, so he didn't say anything.

I heard from the disciples that the Yanshi in Guilang Lane seem to disdain the guild, but in fact, they have basically taken the exam.But without a teacher to teach, it is impossible to pass the exam. Instead of trying desperately, it is more practical to get started as a doll and accumulate experience.

Qinghuai also asked his disciples how Yanshi can make a living and where he can get the money to buy materials since the dolls are not sold in Guilang Lane.The apprentice said, everyone sits and eats the golden mountain of King Huai. Didn't our prince extort money in the capital in the early years, and his wealth was incomparable to the country.

Qinghuai asked again, since His Highness is the patron, why don't people here worship him.The apprentice said, success is also Xiao He, and failure is also Xiao He.

When Ghost Corridor Lane first emerged, it was full of novices and low trees everywhere.However, in the extraordinary period of war and chaos, everyone is in urgent need of body, hungry and hungry, and their intestines are regretful after being possessed.King Huai had to order that any Yanshi who dared to sell puppets in Guilang Lane would be expelled from the country.After the ban, a large pile of low wood was discarded on the street, and the ghosts were allowed to take it at will, and Yanshi was not responsible.

So there was a black-hearted Yanshi who took advantage of the loopholes, bought the soul-attached talisman paper from the black market, and sold it at a high price in Guilang Lane.The same is true for ghosts who buy soul-changing charms and get dolls for free at the door.King Huai learned that the talisman paper was also banned, and the slow-handed Yanshi didn't make any money, and even hoarded a hand of talisman paper, so he had to go back to the black market to sell it low.

Later, a few good Yanshi came out in Guilangxiang, but unfortunately the reputation of the whole alley has become bad, and ghosts still can't distinguish good from bad, so lifting the ban is not the best policy.So King Huai negotiated with the guild to provide free wooden armor appraisal and spirit possession, firstly to check the quality of the doll, and secondly to reduce the possibility of ghosts going to the black market.In order to protect the interests of both parties, he also contributes monthly funds to support Ghost Gallery Lane.Since then, Yanshi here has been cursing King Huai with his mouth, and his money is in his hand, and his life is not bad.

Finally, the apprentice came back after talking with the female ghost and continued to complete his doll.Qing Huai leaned over the table and looked at it for a while, then sighed: "It's so slow. You've been doing this for five days, and I haven't seen my head yet."

"Slow work leads to careful work, don't rush."

"Don't dwell on the details, grasp the big picture first."

Fangxin naturally didn't like to hear this, but seeing Qinghuai's cautious tone, he nodded.Qing Huai secretly rejoiced: Girls are more sensitive to details, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. If she can really listen to it, she will surely achieve great success in the future.

He took out a leaflet and shook it in front of Fangxin's eyes. "Shall we go to the auction house together tonight? You also happen to go and learn from it."

Fang said: "Xiang Yan's dolls? Real or fake." Qinghuai said: "It should not be fake." It was the dolls that Qingyuan lost.

Fangxin glanced at Yan's portrait, took the leaflet, and saw the girl behind the leaflet smiled purely, rolled her eyes at Qinghuai and said, "You change a woman every day, do you have any hobbies?"

"What hobby? You don't like me possessing her, so I changed it." Qinghuai walked up to the puppet possessed by the soul on the first day, and said, "It seems that this is the most beautiful. You hurry up My body is ready, otherwise I would not come out."

Fangxin asked: "When will you teach me spells?" Qinghuai said: "Teach you spells so that you can kick me out of her? Teach me last."

"Teach me spells, so that I can bring her back." Fang Xin stepped forward and took the hand of Qing Huai's puppet.

"Her name is Ziyuan, and she is my childhood sweetheart. The most beautiful in the school.

When I was in school, the young ladies all pestered me, and the young men all pestered her.At first I wondered if she treated men the same way as women, but later the ladies told me that it was because they were afraid of being compared that they didn't play with Zi Yuan.I said I was not afraid, and started to cling to her, seeing her charming, cheerful, and docile.We've never had a fight since we were together.

On my 12th birthday, my father gave me a green horse.I took her all the way to the border of Kaifang, on the other side of the valley, where the three countries border.She asked me to take her away, but I hesitated.I said that Qingcongma can't cross this river, and I said that abandoning parents will not be happy.She asked me why I couldn't choose not to marry for life, and why I had to give up my parents if I chose to be with the person I liked.I said to her: 'I can't change this world, but I will always be with you. Even if you are married, I will be married too. 'Later, we were really married, but I didn't keep my word by her side.I came here, and she stayed in Kaifang, dying in the war with her family. "

Fangxin asked Qinghuai: "After so many years, do you think she is still there? Or has she been reincarnated?" Qinghuai said, "How will you know if you don't try. I will teach you spells now."

Fang Xin grinned: "If I had a teacher who was so resolute, I would be able to take her across the border."

The frontier auction house is also known as Zao Yuting.It used to be a large garden before the war, but only a pavilion and a corridor remained after the war.The first snow fell today, and people all wrapped up in cotton robes.The same goes for high-level dolls, for fear that the snow and frost will damage the precious wood.

The Zaoyu Pavilion auction is by invitation only, and those who have a famous post will have a seat in front of the pavilion.People like Qinghuai and Fangxin who came to watch could only watch from a distance in the corridor.

Today, more than a dozen of Xiang Yan's dolls participated in the auction, and there were many more people onlookers than usual.In addition, Fangxin went out and dawdled, and came late, standing behind the corridor.

Qinghuai stood on tiptoe, and saw a familiar figure on the seat in front of her.She was wearing a lotus-coloured mattress skirt with a ponytail that reached her waist.He patted the shoulder of the puppet delivering tea, and a black shadow flashed past.

"Thank you." Xiang Yu took the tea and asked the person on the right, "Do you think Xiang Yan will come here?"

"will not."

"Just say no without even thinking about it, you must be lying to me." Xiang Yu muttered.

"It's you who said that he neither remembers nor has any money. I'm just speculating reasonably." The man was dressed in a snow cloak and was beautiful.

"Then what are you doing here... You are so poor that you only have a house left and you still want to buy it."

Your Highness.

When Shi Ting heard the man's voice, he couldn't hide his palpitations.He asked: how did you come here.

Qing Huai led Shi Ting to turn his head, and saw Fang Xin being pushed and shoved in the corridor.After Shiting and the delivery of tea were explained, Fangxin and Ziyuan were taken to the back row and two seats were arranged.

Shi Ting said: You stay, don't go there.

Qinghuai let out a cry, and said: This is the first time I saw His Highness dressed like this, and I didn't recognize him from behind just now.

When Shi Ting looked down and saw that he was wearing old clothes, he just smiled dryly and said: You haven't seen me a few times, so you don't recognize me naturally.Qinghuai said: I have seen it four times.

He stretched out his finger and tapped on his leg, Peng Niao, Black Market, and Water Bottom are the same here.Shi Ting was surprised, and was about to ask which four times, when a person sat on the right.

Qing Huai was overjoyed, she held onto the visitor and said, "You are here too, how is your recovery?"

Qingyuan twitched her hand and leaned to the right.

Shi Ting said: I see you scared him.Qinghuai said: "What did His Highness do to Qingyuan? He is so afraid of you."

Shi Ting said: He casts spells whenever he disagrees, how dare I provoke him?He was just wary of me because he knew I was related to someone.By the way, how did you know each other?

He makes faces for me and buys me drinks.

……

Can Qingyuan know the identity of His Highness' puppet?

Ok.

Let me say a few words.

Oh.

"Boss Qing, is Tongtong okay?" Qinghuai covered her face and whispered.Xiang Yu, who was seated next to him, glanced curiously.

"You?" Qingyuan couldn't hold back his joy and said, "It's great that nothing happened. He's here with me, and everything has been repaired." Qing Huai said, "Then I'll go find him with you when it's over." Shi Ting coughed , to remind the two that the auction has begun.

There were only two sounds, sixteen kinds of hidden weapons appeared on the top of the left and right corridors, a puppet stepped on the water and came to the pavilion, the fish swimming in the pool didn't notice it at all.That puppet was the thief I saw at the guild that day.A talisman was pasted on his chest, and he obeyed the orders of the people in the auction house.

The man stepped forward and stroked the thief's cuffs, but he didn't see any hidden weapons, and turned his palms over, opening and closing sixteen small openings one after another, all the hidden weapons were hidden in his body.

Xiang Yu asked: "Isn't this the little thief who always came to patronize our house? I caught him stealing things several times, why is he also Xiang Yan's puppet?"

"This guy doesn't just steal things." Shi Ting said, "He has a strange habit of stealing things from one person and putting them in another person's place, and then watching everyone mess up. He stole the concubine's towel and threw it at my house. He also stole the design of the boss of the Beijing guild and put it in your study. Finally, even your brother couldn't bear it. He stole your brother's belt and put it in the lady's room."

"Oh, the family who brought the belt to the door wanted to marry Xiang Yan within half a month. It was wishful thinking." Xiang Yu said.

"Your brother said he was wronged, and pulled me to sit on the roof every night to catch the thief. We waited for a few days and finally got it. But when I caught up with him, he fell off the roof and died. Your brother blamed himself and wanted to Make a puppet for the thief. I reminded him that the thief who can enter the palace and steal things from the concubine will not be so bad that he would fall to his death. But he just didn’t believe it. In the end, the little thief relied on your brother, and he pestered him for the hidden weapon added."

Qingyuan sighed and said: "I bought this puppet two or three years ago, and there was a person who insisted on arguing with me. He said that he wanted to avenge the destruction of the family. I said that this doll has passed through the hands of many ghosts. It is hard to say the truth about the destruction of the family. Who did it. The man said, it was definitely this thief. He has a family feud with this thief, and he knows that this person is alive for revenge."

Xiang Yu suddenly said: "This person would not be willing to die to become a puppet for revenge." Qing Yuan nodded, and Xiang Yu said again: "No wonder you want to cause trouble for no reason. If you tell the real reason, Xiang Yan will definitely not Make him a puppet."

Qing Huai sighed: Since I made a killing tool, I should have thought that it would be useful one day.

But Shi Ting blurted out: "The avengers will never give up. This matter has nothing to do with Xiang Yan."

Qinghuai smiled and said: Your Highness really protects his weaknesses.

Bidding begins.Qingyuan said that the murderous weapon had to be taken away, and kept bidding, and finally won.Shi Ting remained calm from beginning to end.

The next person who walked into the pavilion was a monk. The auctioneer said that this doll was indestructible and traveled thousands of miles a day, and there was a row of sharp weapons on display.

Xiang Yu said: "Isn't this a monk from Qihua Temple? He came to find Xiang Yan to be a puppet who can chant scriptures day and night without getting tired, and who can travel thousands of miles every day. During the time he was made, the sound of chanting scriptures came from the backyard all day long. The wooden armors are all anxious."

"There is a story before this." Shi Ting said, "More than ten years ago, Qihua Temple planned to send monks to travel far away to learn Buddhist scriptures. The host asked your brother to make a scripture copying machine so that they could quickly copy scriptures and bring them back. This master is The person who was selected to learn the scriptures. He said that the journey is far away, and it is impossible to carry the scripture copying machine. Therefore, the machine must be able to move around, consume less energy, and can accommodate hundreds of scriptures without being eroded by wind and rain. We stayed in the temple for a Yue made the machine he was satisfied with.

Later, he traveled far away by boat, and he went there for three years.I was no longer in the capital at that time, but one day I heard a psychic message from your brother, saying that the scripture copying machine came to find him, and wrote him a paragraph.It said that he was a monk who learned Buddhist scriptures back then, but he starved to death within a year of the journey.After becoming a ghost, he realized the spell by himself and possessed the scripture copying machine.He continued to visit famous temples in various places, and finally lived up to expectations and brought back a hundred volumes of scriptures. "

Qingyuan said: "Then the monk came to me on his own initiative, so I got the doll.

He said that since Xiang Yan's death, many ghosts coveted his body.He took the opportunity to attract ghosts, chant sutras, and gradually regarded this as his mission.During the war, the number of ghosts increased sharply, and there were more and more dolls.He found that ghosts do not reincarnate, women are not easy to conceive, and often give birth to stillbirths.He thinks that the population will decrease, and Yanshi will also be less. If this continues, Yanshi will be endangered one day, and there will be no one to make dolls and no one to repair them, and they will kill themselves.

Once he rescued a ghost. Before the ghost left, he asked him why he was persecuting him, and he expressed his thoughts.In the end, the ghost asked him, if all living beings are equal in Buddhism, do puppets count as living beings?From then on, he kept thinking about this question, whether a puppet is a ghost or a life.

Later, he slowly realized that the day he was worried about would not come.The elites of the Soul Armor Empire also saw this crisis, gave Yanshi the highest status, and changed the country's name from Weiyang to Yanfang.

So he came to ask me, after handling so many dolls, do I think dolls are sentient beings?I said of course.He said that since it is life, what he did before was killing, so he asked me to accept the doll and enter reincarnation by myself. "
