The person who entered the shop was a hunchbacked old man in his sixties or seventies. He had a head full of silver hair and a pale face.
The most shocking thing was that when the old man walked…
His heel did not touch the ground!
"You guys…Who's the boss?”
The old man walked into the shop, looked around, and asked Chen Ye and Xia Dongqing.
"I'm just an employee. This is our boss.”
It was Xia Dongqing's first day at work. Naturally, he wanted to perform well in front of his boss, Chen Ye, and strive to become a full-time employee as soon as possible. He quickly came to Chen Ye's side and introduced him.
"My surname is Chen and my name is Ye. I'm the owner of this Netherworld Paper Shop.”
"Old Master, is there anything you want to buy?”
Chen Ye looked at the old man's heel and narrowed his eyes. He asked with a smile.
The old man hesitated for a moment before asking softly,""Boss Chen, do you…stab living people here?”
"It seems that the old master has encountered something!”
"We don't only stab living people, we also take care of things. The price is fair!”
"Old Master, do you want to consider it?"
Chen Ye sat back at the counter, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.
From the moment the old man entered, he could feel that his body was filled with resentment and ghost qi.
Especially when his heels were not touching the ground.
This wasn't a good sign…
"Really? That's great. Boss Chen, please save our family.”
The old man knelt on the ground.
" What…What's going on?" Xia Dongqing was confused by the old man's actions. He quickly helped him up and said,""Sir, why are you kneeling?"
"Old Master, lead the way."
Chen Ye said calmly.
"Boss Chen, thank you so much."
When the old man saw that Chen Ye had agreed, he was pleasantly surprised.
Mr. Ye, your clothes."
At this moment, the girl took out Chen Ye's black Daoist robe.
"Dongqing, I know that your eyes can see things that ordinary people can't!”
"Tonight is your first time working in my shop!”
"Remember, no matter what you see or hear, do not make a sound.”
Chen Ye put on his Taoist robe and instructed Xia Dongqing.
Xia Dongqing was stunned at first, then he looked at Chen Ye in shock and said,""You…you know my eyes?”
"Don't be surprised. I have a special identity. It's not strange for me to know your eyes.”
After saying that, Chen Ye ignored Xia Dongqing.
Xia Dongqing looked at Chen Ye's background, gritted his teeth, and followed.
The old man's home was in the mountainous countryside of Binhai City. Chen Ye drove his dark red Beiqi BJ40L. Under the old man's guidance, it took him almost an hour to arrive.
Along the way, the old man explained everything to Chen Ye.
According to the old man…
It turned out that not long ago.
The daughter-in-law of the old man who worked outside died suddenly.
However, for some reason, after the corpse was sent back and placed in the coffin, the coffin could not be lifted!
Moreover, the coffin lid could not be opened.
The village's gravemaker said that his daughter-in-law was unwilling to leave. Perhaps she could not let go of his grandson, so she had to find a paper-maker to make a paper figurine according to his grandson's appearance and burn it for his daughter-in-law. Only then could she bury the soil.
Chen Ye's eyes narrowed slightly as he listened to the old man's words. He was deep in thought.
The corners of his mouth curled into a playful smile, and he was speechless the entire time.
Qingshui Village was surrounded by mountains and rivers. There was only one small road into the village, and the road was very narrow. The three of them could only get out of the car and walk into the village.
The old man led Chen Ye and Xia Dongqing to his house. It was an old courtyard with mud walls. There were many villagers in the courtyard. The door of the house was open, and a coffin was placed in the middle of the hall.
"Old man, you're finally back. Have you found the paper-tying craftsman?”
At this moment, the old lady walked out and asked.
"I found it. Don't worry."
The old man comforted the old woman.
"Boss, there's something strange here."
Xia Dongqing, who was beside Chen Ye, suddenly said.
Because he saw that the entire courtyard was covered in black gas.
Moreover, outside the courtyard…there were many wandering ghosts.
At this moment, Xia Dongqing looked at the scene in front of him, and his face was slightly pale.
"Resentment is soaring to the sky. These wandering ghosts are all attracted by resentment. Moreover, the coffin lid has also been sucked in. This is the prelude to the corpse transformation.”
At this moment, Chen Ye's gaze was playful, and his expression became even colder.
"Corpse transformation? F * ck, could there really be zombies?”
Xia Dongqing was shocked.
"Your eyes can even see ghosts. What's the big deal about zombies?”
Chen Ye shook his head in disappointment when he saw Xia Dongqing's shocked expression.
No wonder he was only Chi You's second vessel. His mental fortitude was too weak.
"Why is there so much resentment?”
Xia Dongqing didn't care about Chen Ye's disappointment. Instead, he looked at the coffin and muttered to himself.
"Because she didn't die a normal death!”
"People who die in vain will naturally have a lot of resentment.”
Chen Ye casually lit a cigarette, his voice calm.
"Killed by someone, could it be…"
Xia Dongqing widened his eyes in disbelief.
Soon, the old man brought his family to Chen Ye and introduced him to them.
However, whether it was the old man's family or the villagers, they all looked at Chen Ye suspiciously.
After all, Chen Ye was too young. He looked to be in his early twenties. When it came to things like metaphysics, most people believed in people who were older.
Chen Ye ignored everyone and brought Xia Dongqing to the coffin. He placed his hand on the coffin.
Then, the resentment emitted by the coffin was completely devoured by Chen Ye.
Ordinary people couldn't see this, but Xia Dongqing could see it very clearly.
He felt that his boss was even more mysterious.
"Boss Chen, how is it?"
The old man asked curiously when he saw Chen Ye's actions.
"Call your grandson over. Let's start making paper, but you need to find a pair of virgins in the village.”
Chen Ye said as he gently caressed the coffin.
"Alright, I'll go prepare now."
The old man agreed and turned to leave.
"Dongqing, go to the car and get the things.”
Chen Ye threw the car keys to Xia Dongqing.
"What is it?"
Xia Dongqing asked in confusion.
"Of course, it's the tools for making paper figurines. Green bamboo, white paper, cinnabar, brush, paste!”
Chen Ye held his head. If Xia Dongqing was not the main character, he would not have hired such a stupid employee.
After waiting for a while, the two of them returned.
The old man was carrying the three children, while Xia Dongqing was carrying a large pile of green bamboo and white paper.
Chen Ye had the boys and girls guard the two sides of the living room door. Then, he took a strand of hair and a drop of blood from the old man's grandson.
"Burn incense and joss paper!"
Chen Ye instructed Xia Dongqing.
"Yes."
Xia Dongqing nodded and lit an incense stick in front of the coffin.
"Bamboo and white paper are used to draw a small person. It is difficult to draw the soul when painting the skin and bones.”
As Chen Ye spoke, he started to quickly tie up the paper figurine.
Not long after, a paper figurine similar to the old man's grandson was pricked out. However, the eyes of this paper figurine seemed to be missing a stroke.
The hair and blood that Chen Ye had taken earlier were mixed with cinnabar. He dipped the brush in cinnabar and handed the brush to the old man's grandson.
"Go and draw the last stroke."
Chen Ye said as he patted the little guy's head.
"Yes."
The little fellow nodded and followed Chen Ye's instructions to draw the last stroke on the paper figurine's eyes.
However, when the brush touched his eyes, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew outside the courtyard. The originally quiet coffin began to shake violently.
"Ghost…Ghost!"
"He's turned into a corpse!"
"What a sin!"
Seeing this scene, the villagers who had been watching the commotion outside the courtyard immediately scattered in fear. Even the old man's family fell to the ground with pale faces and trembled all over.
