Chapter 35 Paper-cut witchcraft
Du Fu has a poem: "Yanke is already dark, and the heavy door is opened with lights; the warm soup washes my feet, and the paper-cuts call my soul."

Paper-cutting is a traditional Chinese folk craft, which can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. However, paper-cutting in the early years was a technique for worshiping gods, summoning souls, and offering sacrifices to spirits.

Wizards who really learn this kind of witchcraft can also borrow paper figurines to perform various spells.

There is also a legend about paper-cut witchcraft. It is said that before Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he experienced countless wars. The most tragic one was the Hongdu Defense War. A follower was accidentally discovered by Chen Youliang's army. In a crisis, one of the followers took out a pair of scissors from his pocket, quickly cut out four connected paper figurines, and slapped them on a big rock.

The moment Chen Youliang's army came after them, the four paper figurines turned into four big men, wearing armor and holding weapons, and stopped in front of Chen Youliang's army.

The four paper figurines fought against the army, but they were weak after all, and were soon pierced by soldiers rushing up like a tide. The moment their bodies were pierced, the four big men quickly turned into a pile of broken pieces. Paper.

Chen Youliang's army continued to pursue, and when they were about to catch up again, the man cut out a paper man and a paper horse with scissors, and threw them in the opposite direction.When Chen Youliang's army came after him, he saw a man running away on horseback in a panic. It looked like Zhu Yuanzhang. Chen Youliang hurriedly led the army in pursuit, but when they caught up, both "Zhu Yuanzhang" and "running horse" turned into yellow paper. , slowly falling to the ground.

The two misleadings bought Zhu Yuanzhang time to escape, so they successfully got rid of Chen Youliang's pursuit and finally won the battle of Hongdu.

Of course, legends are just legends. In the final analysis, paper-cut witchcraft is just witchcraft, and it is not a high-end witchcraft, not divine magic. Its power is not worth mentioning, and it can toss ordinary people with weaker spirits.

However, some combination of paper-cut witchcraft and other Taoist arts can create some unexpected wonders, such as: avatar.

The avatar technique performed by Bai Jinglan the night before is actually the joint application of paper-cut witchcraft and talisman technique. First, a paper figurine carrying weak mana is created, and then Taoist spells that confuse the eyes and mind are written on the paper figurine to transform into a The phantom clone of the caster.

"Tongtianlu" allows Bai Jinglan to ignore the first process, and only needs to draw symbols in the void to transform into a clone, but the orthodox paper-cut witchcraft is basically useless. There are also those used to curse people, but they are extremely rare.

"There are many kinds of paper-cut witchcraft, but not many have been handed down to this day, and even fewer have the opportunity to learn... This person should not use orthodox paper-cut witchcraft."

Outside the interrogation room of the New York General Administration, Bai Jinglan met the so-called "Oriental Wizard".

Hmm... a little disappointed.

Paper-cut witchcraft has always been circulated in the Celestial Dynasty, and this person is not a Chinese, but a yin and yang Indian.

Sydney was interrogating the suspect in the interrogation room, while Nancy accompanied Bai Jinglan standing outside the observation window, watching the suspect's expression through the one-way perspective glass.

Nancy looked at him: "Because he's not Chinese?"

"No." Bai Jinglan shook his head, "Because paper-cut witchcraft is not black magic, and this guy always gives me a strange feeling."

Nancy: "Evil?"

Bai Jinglan smiled: "It's just a feeling of breath, cloudy and dark, that's not the feeling of paper-cut witchcraft. But although this guy has a strange breath, he is not a real wizard in itself, at best he is a wizard apprentice... I think if he can use witchcraft to harm people, he should use something."

Nancy didn't understand, so she asked, "With something?"

Bai Jinglan shrugged: "There have been many excellent mages in history. Some mages will leave inheritance after death. Basically, they are things that assist in casting spells. Some of them can be used even by ordinary people."

In fact, what is really terrifying is not the legacy of the mage, but the legacy of the gods of the earth.

In ancient times, the first batch of gods and demons were either killed by the God Eater, or fled to other dimensions, and then Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth, who still stayed on the earth, used the corpses of ancient gods and demons as raw materials to create the second batch of gods and demons. That is, the major gods known to later generations-Asgard, Greek Gods, Eastern Heaven, Japan's Takamahara, and so on.

Since then, the earth has entered the age of the gods.

Various earth gods ruled the earth, and also ruled the thoughts of mankind, until the gods came to the earth for the third time. These god-like giants unintentionally aroused the worship of some human beings, weakening the power of the earth gods, and the gods of the earth The parliament sent three representatives—Odin from Asgard, Zeus from the Greek gods, and Vishnu from the Indian gods. A non-intervention truce.

At the same time, the Celestial Group promised not to judge human beings for destruction, and the gods of the earth should also stay away from the earth dimension, and should no longer interfere with the normal development of human civilization.

When the gods of the earth moved, many artifacts were left on the earth.

Most of the collections of the three holy temples of Karma Taj come from the gods—basically every time an artifact appears in the world, it will cause an uproar in the world, causing very heavy casualties, and every time it is Kama Ma Taj was in charge of cleaning up the mess, so the collection of the Three Great Temples became more and more, and now they have almost become museums of mythological items.

Seeing the third brother's defiant look, Bai Jinglan really hoped that he got the artifact, but the chances are really not high, otherwise he would have another bumper harvest.

At this time, Sydney asked the man: "You said you used witchcraft to kill Juliana, so can you tell me where you learned your witchcraft. To be honest, I have also seen some magical people who are interested in this interesting capability."

"Don't talk nonsense. I just said that I performed surgery on her, but I didn't kill her myself. Juliana committed suicide, and this autopsy can prove it." Smiling, "Officer, you want to learn such a magical power? Then you can only kneel in front of me and beg me."

He was fearless.

First of all, although he is not a chaebol, he is definitely a rich man.

Secondly, he used unimaginable witchcraft to kill people. Even if he admits the crime he committed here, he can repent at any time in court. The court will not believe these strange words, and the police have nothing to do with him.

So, he is not in a hurry.

It's the police who need to worry.

Sidney pursed his lips, suppressed his violent temper, and said in a tone as relaxed as possible: "What? Is your witchcraft inherited from your family?"

"No." The Indian shook his head, "I learned this magical witchcraft from an old Chinese man, but he has gone crazy now, running around with a few wind chimes all day long, and he is no longer able to use this magic of witchcraft to others."

Sydney's eyes flashed: "Crazy? Could it have something to do with you?"

The Indian leaned back and spread his hands with a smile: "I didn't say that, don't slander me, be careful to sue you for slander."

Outside the interrogation room, Bai Jinglan's heart moved slightly, she turned her head to look at Nancy, and said seriously: "Nancy, you must find that old Chinese man!"

"it is good!"

Before Nancy could finish her sentence, a policewoman holding a file hurried over and said quickly, "Nancy, the sheriff called all the detectives to a meeting, and a big case has surfaced."

Nancy was startled, and nodded to her: "Thank you, Carol, we'll be there right away."

The policewoman came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Bai Jinglan didn't want to wait any longer, so he simply said goodbye to Nancy: "I'm leaving first, there is progress in this case, please let me know as soon as possible..."
