Chapter 69 The Paper Horse
After everything was over, the crowd dispersed, and Uncle Jiu informed everyone that tomorrow all the villagers will go to Jishan House to celebrate defeating the horse thief, and everyone will have a good meal.

This time, everyone wiped out the incoming horse thieves. Although it cost a lot, it also saved the entire village from suffering. This is a great joy.

It is very necessary to celebrate.

In these years, there is no order to talk about, and each village and town can only take care of itself.

Therefore, the villagers can only hold together to keep warm. This celebration is to continue to unite internally in order to jointly cope with the next crisis and challenges.

In the evening of this day, dozens of tables were set up in the courtyard of Jishan House. The whole village, men, women, old and young, came to eat, drink, talk and laugh together to celebrate the victory of this war.

Even the families of those who sacrificed their lives also came. They have made contributions to the village. The elderly and children will be supported by the village. Those who are not so old can also receive various preferential treatment.

"Master, Daoist Shen, went out for a banquet."

Aqiang opened the door curtain like a bitch and said to Uncle Jiu and Shen Lipu with a flattering look on his face.

"Come on, Xiao Shen, let's go have a drink."

Uncle Jiu stood up and asked Aqiang, "Where has Uncle Ming gone?"

"Oh, in the house, I don't think he can come out."

"why?"

"Didn't you give him a copy of Maoshan's Secret Technique, making him read it early and late, left and right, up and down, and he will be finished sooner or later!"

Uncle Jiu just asked a question, and Ah Qiang said a lot like a jingle, which made Uncle Jiu roll his eyes.

Afterwards, Uncle Jiu went to the next room in person and invited Mao Shanming out. At first, Mao Shanming put on a show and declined a few times, but after seeing that Uncle Jiu had a good attitude, he followed him out.

After everyone went out, the banquet officially started. Everyone sat together to eat and drink. The atmosphere of the banquet reached a climax.

Although there were two ghosts, Dabao and Xiaobao, who came to beg for some food, the overall situation was very stable, and there was no ghost possession in the original movie to make trouble.

After a meal, everyone returned home happily.

The next day.

After Shen Lipu got up in the morning, she practiced a set of boxing and sword skills as usual, then walked to the street and found a papermaking shop.

"Hello, Taoist Priest, please come in quickly."

As soon as Shen Lipu entered the store, the shopkeeper recognized him. After all, he had a unique look and he had been hanging around here for several days. It was difficult for everyone not to recognize him.

After the shopkeeper let Shen Lipu into the store, he asked him to sit down, made another cup of tea, and asked with a smile:
"Daoist, are you... want to buy some yellow paper?"

He thought Shen Lipu wanted to buy yellow paper from him. After all, as a Taoist priest, the latter could not come to him to buy any funeral supplies.

Shen Lipu raised her hand to interrupt the shopkeeper's greetings and said straight to the point: "Shopkeeper, I want to customize two paper horses. I wonder if you can make them?"

"Can, can, can!"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up as soon as he heard it, and making two paper horses is not his old job, it's too simple, and he immediately agreed.

"The two horses I want are not ordinary horses used to pull carts. They must be like real horses. Can you do it?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately showed a slightly proud expression on his face and said with a smile: "Taoist Master, you don't know something. If you are an ordinary paper maker, you can pass the test if you can make an ordinary paper horse. Like They simply can't fulfill your request.

'But I am different. Our family used to raise horses. I have grown up with horses since I was a child. I am very familiar with the shape of horses. This is one of them.

'Secondly, this is not the first time I have met your request. To tell you the truth, although my father is from the south, his old man was in the horse business in the north in his early years, and he likes horses very much.

'Before his death, he asked me to make six paper horses that looked exactly like real horses for him to pull the cart.

'To this end, I also found a master carpenter and a master potter. One taught me how to make the frame, and the other made a model for my reference. "

As he spoke, the shopkeeper took out the pottery horse figurines that had been specially made to make paper horses from the box next door.

Shen Lipu took a look and found that it was indeed good. This time he found the right person. He had never made this paper horse before. In addition to lacking such a soul, his poor craftsmanship was also an important reason.

This paper horse is too particular, if it is just made into an ordinary paper man paper horse shape, it is not impossible .

But if it can be made into a real tall horse shape, it will be different, to make up for the situation, and the souls of these two horse thieves are very strong.

After being refined, ghost soldiers can really be used as cavalry.

"well."

Shen Lipu said two good things in a row, and quickly said to the shopkeeper: "I want two of these paper horses. When can you tie them up?"

After listening to the shopkeeper, he said directly: "It can be done within three days, it's just the materials and time..."

"It's okay, you can just say a price."

"That's five dollars!"

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth.

Without thinking, Shen Lipu placed an order directly with the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper is also very happy, he rarely has the opportunity to show his skills, ordinary people, who would buy such an expensive paper horse after death?

After all, these things are not real horses. Five yuan for two is enough to buy fifty kilograms of rice. Ordinary people can organize an entire funeral for less than ten yuan.

……

Three days later at dusk, Shen Lipu came out of the paper shop, holding the belly of a paper horse in each hand, and walked out of the town.

As he walked on the street, passers-by turned their heads to look at him, because the two horses were too imitated.

Just like a real horse, you can only see it: head to tail, two feet, hoofs to back, eight feet high, thin hoofs, big hoof bowls, small ears, big mouth, bamboo skewer ears, leopard eyes, bright saddle ribs , the item hangs a mighty bell.

Shen Lipu led the horse to the outside of the village, set up an altar, thought for a moment, then picked up a cinnabar pen to paint the horse's eyes, and said in his mouth:

"This horse is so beautiful. It has a big belly and a round waist. It is two feet long and not short in body. It is eight feet tall, like a tiger. It is as red as charcoal, with not even a stray hair missing. Its four hooves are round, and it looks like a tiger in the snow. Standing, the tail is like a thousand lines. The left and right hooves are jumping back and forth. They can run through mountains and jump into streams. They make continuous screams. Eight hundred, one thousand, and it is too slow to travel thousands of miles in a day. The fire dragon flies down for nine days, thousands of miles. There is nothing to exchange for two golds.”

After ordering the first one, he ordered another one and said in the same way:

"This horse is really rare. It has a unicorn hoof and a camel face. It has two horns on its head and a few scales on its belly. It can run through mountains and jump streams. It's too slow to travel thousands of miles a day! It's too slow to go up the mountain and fight fierce tigers. Going down to the sea can fight Jiaolong. If you don’t drink the blood of demons for three days, you will be screaming and jumping back and forth!”

After ordering the two war horses, Shen Lipu slapped the jade badge on his waist and released the ghost soldiers and the two horse thieves

After the ghost soldiers came out, they first greeted Shen Lipu, and then gathered around to look at the two paper horses curiously.

Shen Lipu took out two cinnabar pens and touched the foreheads of the two horse thieves. After reciting a spell, he used a secret method to drive the two ghosts into the horses.

As soon as the two ghosts entered, the two horses seemed to be alive. They were very restless, and even wanted to run away.

When all the ghost soldiers saw it, they all felt like running up to hold them down.

Afterwards, Shen Lipu drew a few talismans on the horses with cinnabar, and tapped the horses' foreheads three times, and the two horses calmed down.
