Carrying the found items and corpses, Lin Feng directly turned into a streak of fire and disappeared into the horizon.

His most urgent thought now was to figure out what exactly was going on with everything that happened tonight.

When Lin Feng appeared again, he had already returned to the Ding-character Graveyard.

Releasing the Paper Folder and the other three corpses, Lin Feng first simply checked some things on the corpses.

The Paper Folder's corpse was in fairly good condition; Lin Feng found some broken paper figures and a few special pieces of leather paper on him.

Besides this, there was still a ghost existing within this guy's body, but it was currently in a dormant state and should revive in not much time.

The other three corpses looked much more miserable, especially the two half-grown children, whose original appearances were hard to distinguish.

However, from the other adult's body, Lin Feng found several broken sticks of incense; these sticks of incense smelled of a faint rot, and he did not know what they were made of.

Besides this, there were some small miscellaneous items, which did not have much special about them.

After checking, Lin Feng directly dug a pit in the graveyard and then threw the Paper Folder's corpse into it.

Accompanied by his starting to bury the soil, the ghost within the Paper Folder's body seemed to be affected and began to revive from its dormant state; the corpse began to twist unnaturally, the clothes began to change into paper ones, and even some paper ropes wanted to wind toward Lin Feng.

Regarding this, Lin Feng directly smashed down with a cudgel, forcibly suppressing the ghost within the corpse, and then continued to bury the soil without a word.

Soon the grave mound took shape, and the Corpse-Raising Ghost-Nurturing Scripture slowly unfolded in front of Lin Feng, letting him see the life experience of this Paper Folder.

In his childhood, the Paper Folder was born into an ordinary farming family with five children, and relying solely on those few acres of thin fields, it was simply impossible to support so many people.

So his father, a farmer who looked honest and simple, in order to make a living, shouldered a carrying pole and bamboo baskets, traveling through streets and alleys, running through the countryside, and became a peddler selling goods.

The Paper Folder was the third in the family, belonging to the half-grown one, so he often ran around with his father.

One day on the way home from selling goods, a heavy rain fell, and the father and son could only find a dilapidated temple to shelter from the rain.

But this temple was very unlucky; there was not only no god statue on the altar, but instead, a black coffin was placed there.

At that time, this scene scared them enough, but the summer rain was pouring, and coupled with thunder and lightning, it was even more dangerous after leaving the dilapidated temple.

The father and son could only hide carefully in the temple, never thinking that this heavy rain would fall until late at night.

At night, the young Paper Folder opened his eyes in a half-asleep and half-awake state, but he was stunned by the scene before him.

Because he discovered that he was not in that dilapidated temple, but the surroundings were magnificent as if it were a fairy palace.

People were coming and going in the fairy palace, two rows of tables were set with all kinds of fine wine and food, and in the middle, beauties wearing precious feather clothes were dancing gracefully.

The surrounding diners, servants, and even the host in the main seat seemed to turn a blind eye to his arrival.

After trying a few times, the young Paper Folder could not hold back; at that time, he was tired and hungry, so how could he resist the temptation of delicious food?

Reaching out and grabbing the chicken leg that looked the fattest, he began to eat it in big mouthfuls.

However, the more he ate, the more he discovered that these things were not as delicious as they looked; eating them in his mouth was simply like chewing wax, completely tasteless.

By the time he reacted, the diners who were originally drinking and eating meat, the beauties dancing gracefully, and the host in the main seat were all staring at him.

And then, a dry voice was transmitted directly into his ears.

"Eating my offerings, drinking my fairy wine, what is your crime?"

How had the young Paper Folder ever seen such a scene? He was so scared that he almost cried.

But luckily, he had followed his father through streets and alleys and experienced many things, so he immediately kowtowed to apologize, saying directly that he saw this place as a fairy palace, the host and guests as immortals, and thought he had walked into fairy luck to be brought here.

Being said so by him, that dry and hoarse voice laughed loudly, and then the surrounding scene changed instantly.

The originally magnificent fairy palace collapsed and folded directly, turning back into the original dilapidated temple, and those diners and beauties also gradually turned into paper figures with distinct edges and heavy makeup.

His father beside him was crazy at this time, his mouth constantly muttering words like "Ghost, there is a ghost".

The dilapidated temple, paper figures, black coffin, and his father who was scared crazy directly plunged the young Paper Folder into great fear.

But he still summoned his courage to praise the opponent for having immortal methods, and the transformation technique just now was simply truer than true.

In order to survive, he endured the fear and racked his brains to praise the opponent.

He actually made the person in the coffin moved and agreed to take him as an apprentice.

The later things were just like an ordinary boy who obtained a miraculous encounter; not only did he see all kinds of incredible methods, but even his family became prosperous because of this.

However, when he was sixteen, his master, who had treated him quite well, suddenly gave him a paper figure.

The size and appearance of that paper figure were similar to his.

However, what he did not expect was that this gift hid a fatal hidden danger; when he was driving the paper figure as usual, he was suddenly taken over by the guest.

His whole person was wrapped in this paper figure, and then this paper figure began to occupy his body and deprive him of his will.

And that coffin containing his master was finally opened, and what walked out from inside was a paper figure that was yellow, tattered all over, and looked as if it had experienced wind and rain.

This paper figure forcibly fused with the body that had fallen into the trap, and the original consciousness of the Paper Folder's body completely dissipated, replaced by the paper figure master in the coffin.

And then the reborn Paper Folder quietly left the countryside and returned to the Paper Craftsman Hall where paper craftsmen gathered.

However, here, due to various reasons, he eventually turned against the Paper Craftsman Hall and instead hooked up with people from the Incense Temple.

Finally, he came to a bookstore in Mingyuan Juncheng and stayed; the shopkeeper Lin Feng saw at that time had indeed existed.

It was just that the real shopkeeper had long been dead, and what Lin Feng saw was just disguised by the Paper Folder.

Finally, due to the clone sent by Lin Feng, although this Paper Folder used all kinds of methods, he still died under the clone's cudgel.

"Corpse-raising does not ask about the past, ghost-nurturing does not solve a thousand difficulties"

"Paper figures and living people are not human, coming and going hate longevity"

"If it is in your fate, you will eventually have it; if it is not in your fate, do not force it!"

"This is a medium-grade corpse seed, can nurture the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost!"

A life of ups and downs finally came to an end, leaving only simple comments on the Corpse-Raising Ghost-Nurturing Scripture.

However, what Lin Feng did not expect was that this Paper Folder's corpse was actually evaluated as a medium-grade corpse seed.

"Clatter~"

The pages of the Corpse-Raising Ghost-Nurturing Scripture turned, and soon it came to the Ghost-Nurturing Chapter; on the blank page here, a ghost wearing paper clothes and with layers of paper faces stuck on its face quietly emerged.

What made Lin Feng feel even more amazed was that the Corpse-Raising Ghost-Nurturing Scripture's evaluation of this ghost's strength was actually at the Fierce Ghost level.

"Could it be that it was transformed together with the ghost within the corpse?"

This kind of thing was not the first time he had encountered it; the Puppet Ghost came about this way originally.

Accompanied by Lin Feng's thought, the Thousand-Faced Paper Ghost quietly appeared in front of Lin Feng.

"Sasha~"

Subsequently, this ghost raised its hand slightly, and sheets of white paper flew out from its sleeves, then quickly folded and changed in mid-air into rough paper figures.

This process looked extremely natural, without any external interference.

As Lin Feng controlled this ghost again, more white paper flew out from its sleeves and changed into a paper-cut house.

After this house landed on the ground, it changed rapidly and actually looked just like a real house; no wonder the young Paper Folder could not distinguish between true and false at all.
