Shadow puppetry is Bingzhou's specialty. When Yu Changle came here, he saw folk artists set up a stage to sing shadow puppetry. At that time, he thought the paper man was very delicate and interesting.

Fu Tongzi gave them two days to make the paper man, and taught them the skills. The animal skin was already in his Tianji Pavilion. Because of the characteristics of the spirit animal skin, they saved a lot of trouble. Sculpt the shape and paint it.

"What are you going to do?" Yu Changle rested his chin and looked at the thin animal skin in his hand, "I haven't figured it out yet. I don't know the human form in folk stories, so if I do it rashly, I will definitely make it look different."

"Whatever you want, the image doesn't affect the effect." Ao Yan said.He was already cutting animal skins, Yu Changle leaned over with his upper body, resting his chin on his shoulder: "Who do you want to be?"

Spiritual cultivators like them, who practice the way of swords, can quickly master ordinary swords and swords. Fu Tongzi gave a bunch of carving knives of various shapes, and they can use them proficiently after fumbling.

Ao Yan's fingers are very slender, as if he has a plan in mind, the paper is spinning quickly in his hands, and a pile of petal-like debris falls off, giving people a dazzling beauty, and it doesn't affect Yu Changle's shoulders The smoothness of his movements.

There are not many decorations on the clothes of the cardboard figurine. It is a Taoist robe, showing a fluttering state.After adding all the arms and legs, Ao Yan dipped in the ink and began to draw the little man's face. It was a very happy smiling face, with eyes narrowed and a crooked smile.

"This is me!" Yu Changle said with a smile, "It seems."

The shadow puppet looks very abstract, but the expression of the puppet is very accurate. One can tell it is Yu Changle at a glance.If it dances, it will be more like a high-spirited energy.

"Then I'll draw a banquet too!" Yu Changle rolled up his sleeves and picked up the scissors full of fighting spirit.After a while, a villain with a serious expression appeared in his hand.

Yu Changle was very satisfied with it, and became addicted to it, and carved many more in a row.Ao Yan looked at the row of "selves", big and small, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Why do you do so much?"

"Choose the one that looks the best." Yu Changle sincerely admired his craftsmanship, "I think all of them are beautiful."

Ao Yan: "..." Are you praising him or yourself?

This bunch of blue-clothed villains are magnificent when they are painted and dried. If you look carefully, there are Ao Yan of children, Ao Yan of teenagers, and Ao Yan of young people, all of them have cold faces.

The villain representing Yu Changle was placed on top of a group of villains in blue clothes by himself, with a very arrogant posture.

Yu Changle admired it for a while, and saw Yin Ziwen standing not far away.

He stood in front of the airing table, his eyes downcast, he was thinking of something.His face was against the light and was hidden in the shadows. For a moment, Yu Changle had the illusion that his eyes were gloomy and desolate.

Yu Changle stepped forward and saw the shadow puppet he made.

It was a little man in red, as if he was wearing the red dress of a married woman.Strangely, Yin Ziwen didn't draw the villain's face, the whole face was blank, only a line of red around the mouth.

The red line is slightly curved, but it's hard to tell whether the villain is happy or mocking, matching the rest of the blank features on his face, it's extremely weird.

"Young Master Yu?" Yin Ziwen was like waking up from a dream, and his expression was like a very harmless little animal again.He scratched the tip of his nose and said embarrassedly, "I don't know why I drew this, as if it was in my memory."

Not only that, Yu Changle also found that the villain he made is very delicate, as if he has done it thousands of times, the lines reveal a sense of proficiency and ease.If this can be barely explained by talent, the patterns on the wedding gown of the little man in red are not talent.

"Young Master Yu should have discovered it too..." Yin Ziwen spread his five fingers and looked at his hands, "I should have been able to make a shadow puppet before I lost my memory. Then I cut the knife and carved out this bride. But I couldn't do it anyway." Can't remember her face."

Fu Tongzi walked around with a pipe in his mouth, frowning critically, "Why are you so ugly?"

After all, Yu Changle and Ao Yan are not craftsmen, and the shadow puppets they make are barely in shape.

"It's already very good, look, how similar it is." Yu Changle said boldly.

Ao Yan said: "Use it or not."

Ao Yan tapped the table with his hand and injected spiritual power into the group of little men in blue clothes.Yu Changle only needed to inject one, and the little man in white puffed up and was almost blown away.

"The only good-looking one has no face." Fu Tongzi was upset, "What is this? Ghost bride?"

Yin Ziwen said: "I don't know..."

"Now can you tell us where the Peach Blossom Cave is?" Ao Yan asked.

"Young people are so impatient, it's not a good thing." Fu Tongzi didn't answer, looked at Yu Changle and said with a smile, "I forgot to ask the day before yesterday, has your demon power been sealed? Seal this thing... Hehe, what do you want?" Do you understand?"

Yu Changle asked: "What will happen after you untie it?"

"I don't know about that." Fu Tongzi replied very confidently, "There is no such shop in this village, you really don't want to know?"

"..." Yu Changle doubted, "You Tianji Pavilion don't want to be paid for answering questions?"

Fu Tongzi said: "This only represents me personally. How about it?"

Ao Yan said: "Then you can talk about it."

"Ye Ye, Ye Ye, Blood Ye." Fu Tongzi spat out a few words, "The most difficult part of the seal is to pry open that hole. Once it is opened, the rest is just a thought."

Yu Changle thought of the carp mark that had emerged on his left waist, and repeated in a low voice: "In one thought..."

"Okay, okay, understand it yourself." Fu Tongzi took out a small book from his sleeve, "Dengying Town, if you are lucky when you get there, you will naturally find the Peach Blossom Cave. This is for Dengying Town Maps. As for memory..."

Yu Changle also frowned.It was such a plausible answer, didn't it mean that if they were unlucky they would not be able to find the Peach Blossom Cave.Ao Yan asked him: "Why don't you just say where the Peach Blossom Cave is?"

Fu Tongzi laughed and said, "Even the old man doesn't know the exact location of Peach Blossom Cave. As for the memory and direction, this kid will naturally remember it when he arrives at Peach Blossom Cave."

Dengying Town is located at the foot of a branch mountain range of Xianfu Mountain.

There are few people around here for several miles, and the route marked on the map is even more remote, bypassing larger villages, and they didn't see any people along the way.

"The map here is..." Yu Changle raised his head, "Pink?"

Turning around an oblique corner of the mountain wall, what appeared in front of the three of them was a large pink peach forest.The sunset in the distance is just right, the wind blows through the peach trees, the flowers are colorful, and the grass is delicious, like a dream.

"How can there be peach blossoms here?" Ao Yan broke off a branch of flowers and looked at them carefully, "This should be a flower that only exists in the south."

Yu Changle said: "If you want to talk about the north and the south, peach blossom drunk is also very strange."

When they tracked down Peach Blossom Drunk, they didn't find the Jiangnan where peach blossoms grow, but went further and further north.Now there is a large beautiful peach forest in front of their eyes.

A long and narrow river runs through the peach forest, pieces of powder petals fall into the water and swirl, and the magnificent fire clouds are reflected in the water.

Yin Ziwen stared blankly at the large powder clouds for a while, then looked down at the map: "The next step is to walk along the blue river."

The three of them walked along the river bank, and when they entered the scenery, they felt more and more beautiful.Yin Ziwen's pink shirt and the peach forest complement each other, he reached out to catch a fallen flower, and whispered: "I remembered something again. My home... seems to be in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are such beautiful peach blossoms there."

A man and a woman appeared in his mind, with a child in the middle, each holding one hand, and laughter filled the road.In my memory, there are peach blossoms and flowing water, black tiles and white walls, a strict but loving father, and a gentle smiling mother.When I think of these, my chest is warm.

But... there were still a lot of messy screams and wails, which made Yin Zi feel pain in his temples, so that when he smelled the faint fragrance of peach blossoms, he felt a twist in his stomach.

When I think about it, my heart will feel like being grabbed.

Yin Ziwen's face was pale, and he retched a few times while holding the tree trunk.He shook his head, rejected Yu Changle's support, and said, "It's okay, I'll remember sooner or later."

Seeing Yin Ziwen staggering, Yu Changle continued to walk in the first place, then turned to Ao Yan and said, "Let's hurry up."

He didn't hide the injury on Yin Ziwen's body for long, and Yin Ziwen discovered it not long after.He didn't say anything, just smiled miserably.

Today, a small town appeared in front of the three of them.

Ao Yan glanced at the map and said: "This is it."

Dengying Town is poor and dilapidated, there is only one homestay at the entrance of the village, and they are willing to let them borrow it.The sky was getting dark, and the setting sun was like blood, painting the entire wall of the hotel red, which was inexplicably gloomy.

"Did Taoist Fu say that you will find clues if you stay in Dengying Town?" Yin Ziwen looked at the B&B with some resistance, "Do you have to stay here?"

"Stay here, our family is fine." The hostess was a middle-aged woman with a round face, and kindly led the three of them to the room to stay in. "I'll cook for you."

"Excuse me, thank you." Yu Changle said with a smile, while looking at the round-faced woman.People in this small town are generally very thin, but this woman is so fat that her eyes are almost invisible, her face is covered with a layer of powder, the corners of her mouth are grinning, and the powder is falling down .

Yu Changle couldn't help but leaned back to prevent the lead powder from being sucked into his nose, while Ao Yan frowned directly.The corners of the round-faced woman's mouth twitched, but she quickly regained her enthusiasm. She turned her head and shouted to the back of the house, "Damn it! Kill yesterday's pig tonight!"

There was the sound of a knife chopping a chopping board from the back of the house, and then there was a rustle, the stained curtain was lifted, and a black and strong man walked in.He had a pair of hanging eyes, and he gave a dull "hmm".

Yu Changle felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.As the setting sun gradually set, the fat woman and the hostess began to come in and out for dinner, and the smoke rose into the air. Yu Changle looked at the smoke and let go of his hanging heart.

Probably the influence of the environment on him...

As he was thinking like this, there was a sudden commotion outside. Ao Yan walked to the door and looked at it, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Shadow play?"

"The guest is right, our Dengying Town is most famous for its shadow puppets." The fat woman with a round face stuck her head out from the kitchen and said, "You can go and have a look. There just happens to be one today."

The shadow puppet show was held on the grain drying field in the town, and there were only a few people scattered around, and three people were seen.In the dim light, the virtual image of the shadow puppet appeared behind the dim paper curtain, and the flame flickered.The entertainer hadn't started dancing the villain yet, and he was standing there drinking water, half of his face was illuminated by the firelight, his eyes were inexplicably protruding and hideous.

Yin Ziwen said: "I don't feel very well..."

"Let's start!" With a loud gong, the artist shouted at the top of his voice, and Yin Ziwen was so scared that he choked back a word.The image of the first villain became clear.

I saw that it was a woman in red. The intricate carvings and drawings showed that she was wearing a wedding dress, and her head was half covered with a red hijab, revealing a face.Her eyes are narrow and long, with only three strokes, but they are quite vivid, as if she is staring at everyone in the audience.

The entertainer began to talk and sing, to the effect that it was a boudoir resentment story, the bride stayed alone in the vacant room, but she had never seen her husband, and she cried secretly every day.The man's voice was clenched, and he sang softly and plaintively. The hairs on Yu Changle's back were about to stand on end: "Is this how shadow puppets are performed? Why do I feel that something is wrong?"

The place where the bride stayed was also very strange, the shadow puppet decorations were not tables, chairs and benches, but mountains, rocks, vegetation, making people wonder where she lived.

The play continued, and the image of a man appeared. It looked like he was dressed as a hunter, but he looked like a flirtatious boy.Quite clichédly, he and his bride fell in love, and they sang a chorus to express their heartfelt feelings.

Yu Changle was still very concerned: Why Orion?Where does the bride live?

"What?" Ao Yan said impatiently, "What's there to see? Just leave."

Just at this time, when the two were about to part on the stage, the bride took Orion's hand and asked sadly:

"Can the officials like the slave family? Are the officials willing to give their hearts to the slave family?"

Orion immediately embraced the woman and swore: "I am willing! How can I not? My heart is yours, you can take it if you want it."

The woman in red snuggled into his arms and laughed idiotically. The laughter was sharp and creepy: "Then the gentleman will be with me forever!" Tighten the stage.

However, the Orion screamed violently!

On the stage, the arm of the woman in red passed through his chest——
