Chapter 59: Books Turning into Paper Dolls

~8 min read 1,582 words

After warning Li Yanbing, the expression on the Ghost Suppression Division Secretary's face softened.

Subsequently, he raised his hand lightly, and an old wooden box appeared in his hand.

The moment this wooden box was taken out, Li Yanbing revealed an expectant expression. This time, in order to befriend that Senior, she had even used the connections in her family.

"Five hundred catties of hundred-year-old sinking-yin wood, thirty *shi* of dragon-vein grave soil; these two things are still easy to find, but there is only one thousand-year-old god-offering stele, and as for the Underworld-soil pottery bowls, there are four."

"Your parents and relatives put in quite a bit of effort to find these things, making people in the clan quite dissatisfied. If you can't make some achievements, it won't be easy to explain by then."

Putting the wooden box into Li Yanbing's hands, the Ghost Suppression Division Secretary said earnestly to her.

"Uncle, don't worry, Junior will definitely not let parents and the clan down!"

Li Yanbing nodded heavily, indicating that she had remembered. She naturally understood that it was absolutely impossible for one or two people to collect so many things in a short time.

"Haha, you have this heart, that's enough. They all say the young man of the Liang family is a generation of geniuses. Now it seems my Li family niece might not be much worse than him!"

The Secretary laughed loudly after hearing this, then waved his sleeves and said to Li Yanbing: "I came by the way this time, so I won't stay long."

"Remember, this world is about to change drastically. Knowing how to protect oneself is the way of being an official. In everything, don't be too eager to stand out!"

Before leaving, he said this sentence to her in a voice only Li Yanbing could hear.

Subsequently, he disappeared gradually together with the four Xuan-Armored Guards beside him.

"Junior respectfully sends off Lord Secretary!"

Li Yanbing's eyes became hot, and then she clasped her fists and saluted directly. Li He beside her also did the same.

"Tonight we will go to Xinglong Ridge Qianyuan Mountain again!"

"Yes, My Lord!"

——————

When Lin Feng returned to the Ding-character graveyard carrying the sesame oil, sauce, vinegar, and a small bag of tea leaves in a bamboo tube, he found that other people had rarely come here.

"There's a treat tonight!"

Subsequently, the old lame man immediately shouted to Lin Feng while holding a wild chicken.

"Where did it come from?"

Lin Feng looked at the person sitting beside him, but he was asking the old lame man.

"Sent by the little old brother from the Bing-character graveyard. Didn't expect this little brother to have a hand in hunting. Said he came to thank me, the old man!"

At this moment, the old lame man was so happy that his mouth couldn't close. This was the first time he had encountered someone coming to thank him.

"Oh, how should I address this old brother?"

Lin Feng put down the things in his hand and then looked at Bai Yuanlong, who had disguised himself. Lin Feng still had some impression of this person.

This person was the one who was a bit special among the new gravediggers in the graveyard that day.

After all, the special aura emanating from the *gui* in his body couldn't be hidden from Lin Feng's perception.

"My surname is Yan, my name is Wei. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Yan!"

"But you, little brother, are quite something. Even those catchers speak well of you behind your back."

Bai Yuanlong used a pseudonym. At this moment, he spoke without any pretense, as if he had long been accustomed to it.

"Haha, Brother Yan is too polite. I am just a person with a hard fate; them looking up to me is nothing more than being able to earn some silver money!"

Lin Feng moved a small stool and sat down, then chatted with him.

Of course, nine out of ten sentences they said were fake, and the remaining one was also something vague.

Not long after, the old lame man added some mountain treasures that Lin Feng had brought back from the mountain to the wild chicken and stewed a pot of soup, and the three of them ate like this.

At dusk, the sunset was bright red, and Bai Yuanlong couldn't stay here for long, so he returned to the Bing-character graveyard alone.

"Caw—caw—"

Under the dusk, the sound of crows crying spread far away, adding three parts of desolation to the entire graveyard out of thin air.

Lin Feng returned to his wooden house and opened the old books he bought from Lin's Bookstore to read carefully.

Although these books had problems, the mythology, strange stories, and legends recorded on them were not bad.

Until night fell, Lin Feng closed the books in his hand.

It wasn't that he didn't want to continue reading, but the books in his hand had already begun to change.

"The paper-folding master's inheritance is indeed a bit of a trick, actually hiding paper dolls in the books!"

Lin Feng bought a total of five old books. At this moment, these five old books began to change by themselves: the pages flipped, unfolded, curled, and folded.

The five books slowly changed into five paper dolls with different appearances.

Some paper dolls looked like young ladies with light makeup, some looked like dolls with buns, some looked like battlefield generals, and some looked like elegant young masters.

However, no matter how much the paper dolls looked like people, one could ultimately tell at a glance that they were not real people.

If an ordinary person saw such a scene, I'm afraid they would have been scared out of their wits and screamed loudly.

It was just that before they changed into shape, the *Xiu Gui* and *Kui Lei Gui* appeared quietly, blocking these paper dolls one after another.

Subsequently, a large number of blood-colored threads directly bound these five paper dolls, and then with a hard pull, these five paper dolls were dragged into the shadow world while struggling.

And Lin Feng and the *Kui Lei Gui* also entered the shadow world one after another. After all, the wooden house was still too small to unfold.

"Giggle—"

The five paper dolls forcibly bound by the *Xiu Gui* didn't fall into complete silence, but instead began to struggle violently, as if they had been stimulated by the blood-colored threads.

Lin Feng noticed that their strength was equivalent to a Big *Gui*. If these five paper dolls were used to deal with ordinary people, it would be absolutely enough.

Even dealing with a Master would be enough, and even if they met a Grandmaster, it would take a Grandmaster quite a bit of effort to suppress them.

However, at this moment, these paper dolls couldn't break free from the *Xiu Gui*'s binding in the first place.

"Taking action is five Big *Gui*, and this is just five books. There are at least fifty or sixty books on that shelf!"

Thinking of the encounter in Lin's Bookstore, a look of shock instantly appeared on Lin Feng's face. It seemed that the paper-folding master's strength was much stronger than he had guessed earlier!

"But since you set your sights on me, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Lin Feng waved his hand, and the *Kui Lei Gui* stepped forward directly to place its hand on a paper doll to try to control it.

Instantly, the *Kui Lei Gui*'s power and the paper doll's power began to collide. A large number of wrinkles appeared on the surface of the paper doll, just like being soaked by rain and then dried in the sun.

As these wrinkles spread over the entire paper doll, the originally violently struggling paper doll instantly quieted down.

But when Lin Feng tried to control it, he found that there was no effect at all.

"Strange, is it that the paper doll's *guiyi* fell into silence, rather than the *Kui Lei Gui* succeeding?"

Seeing this, Lin Feng frowned directly. It seemed that the *Kui Lei Gui* couldn't forcibly seize the control of the paper doll.

"Forget it, anyway, I have to let the clone make a trip. Once I obtain that paper-folding master's inheritance, I will naturally understand!"

Lin Feng didn't try the remaining four paper dolls, but let the *Xi Gui* possess him and release the clone.

"Don't let me down on the first action!"

Lin Feng said in a low voice looking at the clone in front of him. For the sake of safety, Lin Feng also handed the Ruyi Golden Cudgel to the clone.

After all, the clone with only True Person strength was still a bit lacking in Lin Feng's view. If he couldn't beat the other party, losing face was secondary.

If he failed and was suppressed by the other party instead, that would be a loss of a clone. After all, wanting to get another True Person's corpse to make a clone wasn't easy!

Taking the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, this thing was ultimately a Fierce *Gui* material. With the clone bringing it, the strength would definitely become stronger by a few points.

After making preparations, the clone moved rapidly toward the direction of Luohe City through the shadow world.

And Lin Feng slowly closed his eyes and concentrated his mind and energy on controlling the clone. ===== CHAPTER 60 =====
