It was during those two years when Zhizha Liu was paralyzed in bed that he truly realized the special nature of his father's work.
You must know that people who have served in the army are quite dismissive of all ghosts and monsters, but in the past two years, Zhiza Liu saw with his own eyes the ghosts who came to ask for help in the middle of the night.
At first, he thought those ghosts were people pretending to be cheating money, and scolded them. But when those "people" showed the tragic state of their death, Zhizha Liu completely believed that they were not human anymore.
Two years passed like this. Zhizha Liu remembered clearly that his father and he talked a lot that night.
His father said that their ancestors were all paper makers, and the craftsmanship of the old Liu family was recognized by the superiors.
Take paper figurines for example. The paper figurines they made look good in the eyes of ghosts after they are burned, but the paper figurines made by others look crooked in the eyes of ghosts.
This also led to many undercover people who had approached his father and asked his father to help him find a better-looking maid or stable boy.
The old Liu family paper maker became very popular in the Yin Division. The things they made were like luxury goods down there and were extremely popular.
Ever since the time of his grandfather, Zhizhi Liu, he has been designated by the Yin Division as a special paper maker for the Yin Division.
And he asked his great-grandfather to ensure that among the Liu family's children, one person in each generation must pass on this craft. In return, Yin Si ensured that the immediate family members of the old Liu family would never die in any misfortune.
You must know that at that time, the common people were living in dire straits.
His grandfather was the one who witnessed the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Anti-Japanese War and the Civil War with his own eyes.
Once he heard that Yin Si could guarantee that his immediate family members would never die in any accident, he readily agreed on the spot.
In this way, every generation of the Liu family will specially let one of their children learn the craft of paper making.
When it came to Zhizha Liu's father's generation, there was only one child in the family, Zhi Zha Liu, but Zhi Zha Liu just didn't like these things.
Zhi Zha Liu's father couldn't help it, so he discussed with the Yin Division whether Zhi Zha Liu could not be allowed to take over from him.
But Yin Si did not agree, and after several discussions, the result was that everything before Zhizhao Liu's generation could be written off.
But Zhizha Liu not only dismissed this, but even overturned the altar table enshrining the Yinsi tablet.
Therefore, the Yin Division ordered that Zhizha Liu Chang be taught a lesson. There was no room for negotiation on this matter, so he was left with a hunchback problem after he recovered. But compared to being paralyzed, the hunchback is already the best result.
It was also from this time that Liu Bian inherited his father's business and became a paper maker.
When he first came into contact with the paper-making industry, his talent was revealed little by little. He was even invited by a boss from out of town just because of his paper-making skills.
After listening to his story, Zhang Qionian asked, "Brother Liu, when did you make that paper man in your room?"
Zhizha Liu thought for a while and said, "It's been many years. I remember that at that time I received an invitation from a big boss in Hebi, Henan, to do paper work for his grandfather. At that time, I still had a lot of unsold paper goods at home. I was afraid that these paper goods would be awakened when I came back, so I tied them with Dongdong. Before I left, I asked him to help me look after my house and wait for me to come back. As expected, Dongdong did not betray my trust. When I came back, it was in tatters. Yes, I knew at a glance that Dongdong was tricked by those wandering ghosts in order to keep those paper goods."
Zhang Qiongnian said, "So this Dongdong is still wrong."
Zhizha Liu said proudly, "Look, I have treated Dongdong as my own son all these years."
Zhang Qionian asked, "Then you haven't found a wife for so many years?"
Zhi Zha Liu said, "Who am I looking for? Don't cheat others. I'm used to this kind of life now, and I don't have any thoughts about men and women anymore. Now I can make more money while I can still move." money, I will find a better nursing home in the future, but the result will be the same.”
Zhang Qionian felt a little sour after hearing this. He didn't know why.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, Youzi Ming said, "Why are you saying these depressing words on a very happy day today? Come on, let's continue drinking. Anyway, you have a lot of savings now, right? Unlike me, before, In a few days, I almost spent all the money I saved before.”
Zhi Zha Liu asked, "By the way, I heard that you had sex with someone from Hongchen Inn some time ago? What was the result?"
You Ziming said, "The result? I must have won. If I had lost, could I still drink with you here today?"
Zhizha Liu smiled and said, "Haha, that's right." He stood up and took off the breast shield from the wall. "Little brother, aren't you interested in this breast shield? Take it and give it to you."
Zhang Qionian said a little embarrassedly, "Isn't this bad?"
Zhizha Liu directly put the breast shield into his arms and said, "Here you go, take it."
However, the moment the breast shield came into contact with him, there seemed to be something suddenly in his mind, but he couldn't put it into words for a while.
Seeing that he couldn't resist him, Zhang Qionian had no choice but to accept it.
After a hearty meal, You Ziming took the paper and left in the evening. When Zhi Zha Liu asked him what he was doing, he didn't say anything. He just told Zhang Qionian that he should stay here and sleep by himself. Then they left.
Although You Ziming didn't say anything, Zhang Qionian had some vague guesses.
Because he had this expression the last time You Ziming took him to see the enthusiasm of the people in Kailu.
After closing the door of the store, Zhang Qionian lay on the bed that was covered with paper and smelled of sweaty feet, holding the goggles in his hand and looking at it.
In a daze, Zhang Qionian fell asleep.
"The lonely king is the human emperor, how can he be willing to become the puppet of you heavenly beings? If you want to kill me, kill him. The lonely king swears to the death and will not surrender!"
In his sleep, Zhang Qiaonian saw a man holding a long sword and wearing armor standing on the top of the mountain declaring war on the sky. His aura was really shocking.
Then this man led countless soldiers to charge on the battlefield. This man's combat power was frighteningly high. Broken limbs and broken arms flew everywhere he passed, like a human-shaped meat grinder.
However, several of the opponent's generals had strange shapes, flying into the sky or hiding on the ground. In the end, the man was defeated and retreated into the city.
The opponent's troops approached the city, and even his soldiers were captured one after another.
The enemy kept killing his soldiers in front of him.
"If you don't surrender, I will kill all your soldiers!"
Although he was angry when he saw the enemy killing his soldiers like this, the gap between the enemy and ourselves made him feel deeply powerless.
"Won't you become the puppets of those heavenly beings after my death? As long as you promise me to treat the captured soldiers well, I will burn myself here today."
"good."
The enemy general simply replied with one word.
In the end, he burned the tall building on fire, and he also lost his life in the sea of fire.
When the man was in the sea of fire, for some reason, Zhang Qionian also felt like he was being burned by the flames, as if he was feeling the same as the person in the dream.
"Qiao Nian, Qiao Nian, wake up."
"No, why is he so hot? Could it be that he has a fever?"
"No, you were fine last night?"
"ah!"
Zhang Qionian screamed and woke up from his dream. Looking at the two people with concerned eyes, Zhang Qionian asked, "What's wrong with me?"
When he opened his mouth, Zhang Qionian found that his voice was hoarse, completely different from his previous voice.
You Ziming said, "When we came back just now, we saw that your brows were furrowed and your face was pale, as if you were enduring some pain. No matter how we called you, you didn't wake up."
Zhang Qionian said, "I had a dream."
You Ziming asked, "What dream?"
Zhang Qionian briefly explained the content of the dream.
You Ziming frowned and said, "According to what you said, the person in your dream should be which emperor in the past. But there seem to be only a few emperors who fought against the sky. But it seems that only one person was burned to death in the end."
"who?"
You Ziming said seriously, "The last emperor of the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Xin of Shang Zhou."
Then You Ziming suddenly saw the breast protector lying quietly on the bed. He picked up the breast protector and asked Liu, "Old Liu, how did you get this breast protector?"
Zhizha Liu said, "Didn't I tell you yesterday? I got it accidentally when I was in Hebi, Henan."
You Ziming asked, "Where is Hebi? Please be specific."
Zhizha Liu thought for a while, "It seems to be called Qixian County."
You Ziming clapped his hands and said, "That's right. If I guessed correctly, this breast shield was probably left behind by King Zhou of Shang when he died."
"Then isn't this thing valuable?"
Zhizha Liu's eyes lit up when he heard that the breast shield might be an antique from the Shang Dynasty, and it might even be left behind by King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty.
You Ziming said, "It is indeed valuable, but if you dare to sell it, you will really have a place to live in for the rest of your life. Selling antiques from the Shang Dynasty will lead to a sentence of more than ten years at least."
Hearing what he said, Zhizha Liu quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm just saying, didn't I give this thing to my little brother yesterday? Little brother, please keep it, this thing is definitely a treasure."
Zhang Qionian was a little confused for a moment when he saw Zhi Zha Liu changing his mind so quickly in front of him.
However, he still accepted it because he vaguely felt that he had an inexplicable relationship with King Zhou of Shang.
You Ziming, on the other hand, went back to his home with him and specially recruited Yu Wen Yun Xin back, hoping that Yu Wen Yun Xin would help investigate Zhang Qiong Nian's affairs.
When Yu Wenyun heard that it was Zhang Qionian's matter, he did not refuse and readily agreed.
Two days later, Yuwen Yunxin brought news.
"The affairs of Qiao's previous life are confidential down below. It's not something that a shady like me can know. If you want to know about him, he can only go there by himself."
Hearing what Yuwen Yunxin said, Zhang Qionian was a little confused and said, "Is it possible that you want me to die?"
You Ziming said, "Don't be so cruel, just leave the soul."
Zhang Qionian said suddenly, "I understand. Then when should we start?"
You Ziming said, "You can start at any time. I'm getting more and more curious about you now."
So You Ziming started to take care of what Zhang Qionian needed to leave his soul.
Let me explain here, the soul of a normal person after death is called the soul of the dead, and the soul of a living person is separated from the body.
It is simple to say and not difficult to do, but it is just because it is taboo for a living soul to enter the underworld, and the living soul is not very fragile. Once the living soul is damaged, the person will become a vegetative state.
However, with the evil spirit of Yu Wenjun, it would not be easy even if there was a ghost who wanted to hurt Zhang Qionian.
Just as he said, You Ziming first prepared an ever-burning lamp. To put it bluntly, it was the kind of kerosene lamp used in the past. As long as the ever-burning lamp did not go out, the living soul could still enter the body after returning.
Also prepare a chicken, because chickens are very sensitive to the yin and yang energy, and the rooster will crow before the sun rises. In this way, You Ziming will bring Zhang Qiaonian back in time.
After everything was done, Zhang Qiaonian lay on the kang according to the method of leaving the soul. After lighting the ever-burning lamp above his head, You Ziming also put a talisman on his forehead.
After everything was ready, You Ziming began to recite the spell.
