Chapter 66 The figure model is also a paper figure
According to the statement in this magic booklet, the paper man actually has not high requirements for materials. As long as the paper made of ordinary natural materials and the inner bones of bamboo are materials, the low-end version of the paper man can be refined.
However, due to the material limitation of this kind of paper man, even if he has passed the upper limit of sacrifice and refining, he can only withstand weaker spirits at most, and the stronger ones can make the paper man burst.
Therefore, this kind of low-end paper man pays more attention to the production technology. The more solid and exquisite it is, the more like a real person, the greater the spirituality it can bear and the power it exerts.
If it is a spell like paper-cutting to a ghost, even though he is clumsy, he can roughly cut out a few paper men who look like they look like. However, paper-making practice is a complex traditional skill. It is not an ordinary person who studies art. You may not dare to master it if you have two or three years to fight.
Gao Jingfei said with some headache:
"And even if you settle for the second best, it will be difficult to replace complex paper men with paper-cutting!
Although it seems as simple as cutting out a few paper people, if you want to cut paper into soldiers, it is not something that ordinary white paper can do. Instead, it needs special paper soaked with potion to achieve the effect of carrying spirituality. If it were ordinary white paper, unless a person with strong magic power directly gave it spirituality, the spell would not be successful at all.
Therefore, for Gao Jingfei, it seems simple to cut paper into soldiers, but it is more difficult to refine spiritual paper people than to make paper-cutters.
"Forget it, I can't make it myself. Can't I buy it for money? As long as it is made of natural materials, it can carry spirituality."
So he searched the Internet for information related to paper people.
Then I suddenly realized that their traditional paper-made art in Xia Kingdom was even more inherited and superb than I imagined.
Especially in Jiangnan and other places, many ancient craftsmen inheritance are still preserved. Some exquisitely made paper works have become works of art and sent to foreign museums for exhibition, becoming news on the Internet.
When he went to a store in Taobao that specializes in selling paper-made products, he was shocked.
"Wow, what a guy, this paper guy is really not cheap!"
A well-made paper man actually costs thousands of yuan per piece, and the traditional paper horse cart is larger and not cheap.
Even modern versions of luxury cars and home appliances can be built like simulated models, and there are customizable tycoon packages, which are the kind of big villas that come with many luxury car maids, basically no less than tens of thousands of yuan.
Of course, there are also cheap ones, just paper people who look inferior at first glance, ranging from eighty or ninety to twenty or three hundred yuan.
But this thing seems to be unattractive to Gao Jingfei, just like the difference between a simulated doll worth tens of thousands of yuan and a low-quality inflatable doll worth two hundred yuan.
The former has soft skin like a real person, and it also has functions such as heating and vibration. The latter's posters in the store are very beautiful. When you receive the goods, you will open them and see them. It's a big human-shaped balloon!
It’s the kind of person who posts a photo of a female star on your face. Some are too lazy to even post photos. The bloody mouth and abstract face are really terrible, and it makes people lose interest at first sight.
The same is true for Gao Jingfei. After seeing those exquisite paper people, he no longer looks down on those cheap and inferior products.
"But that kind of paper is worth thousands of yuan. If you want to customize it privately, you can only cost thousands of yuan per piece."
After all, he is just a high school student, and his pocket money and New Year's money combined are no more than a few hundred yuan.
Gao Jingfei was worried about money, but suddenly had an idea.
"Brother Hu is not a veteran 2D enthusiast. He has even had a fuss with his family for his model career?"
If you have any questions, please look for Brother Hu!
Gao Jingfei thought that since this second brother Guo was so skillful and could even design and make those complicated figures, then it should be okay to be two paper men?
As for the issue of confidentiality, it is just one or two other magical magics. Just like the previous Five Poisons Secret Books, Gao Jingfei did not have much thought of keeping the secrets for the elder brother and the Guo Shihu brothers. The Guo brothers are basically tied to their brothers, and are not outsiders. Moreover, the magic is not something that everyone can make, as long as it is not outsourcing.
So he excitedly took the things and ran downstairs, knocking on the door of Guo Shihong's dormitory.
Guo Shihu was having a messy hair at this time and had a beard on her face. She seemed to have not had a good sleep for several days, but she was very excited.
"Xiao Fei, are you here? Just come and have a look. My mixed poison has been refined!"
Gao Jingfei was a little surprised and cared:
"Brother Hu, how long has it been since you rested? Don't be so anxious. We can't use this poison for the time being."
Guo Shihu scratched his head embarrassedly and said:
"I'm afraid that you and your elder brother and others will be in danger of going on a mission, maybe it can be used."
Gao Jingfei doesn’t care about the poison now. There are magical magic puppets like the psychic paper man to play with, so who can play with poison?
So he pulled Guo Shihu, showed him the few pages of the booklets, and then said expectantly:
"How about Brother Hu, can you do this paper man?"
Guo Shihu's face turned red with excitement at this time, and he pulled Gao Jingfei and said:
"How did you come from this thing? This is Xuanmen spell, a real spell..."
Obviously, compared with previous martial arts secrets, a magic booklet made Guo Shihu even more excited.
Of course Gao Jingfei couldn't tell the truth, so he just explained vaguely with a kind lie:
"In the foggy world, I can get some good things that are not in reality. Brother Hu, don't worry about how this thing comes about. Tell me about this paper man, can you do this?"
Fortunately, Guo Shihu didn't delve into it. Out of excitement, he took a deep breath twice, then looked at the request in the booklet, and said after a moment:
"I have never tried paper people who have made paper, but I am good at using paper to make figures or models. I used to make models before. When I was making models, I used hard or cardboard to make proofing. I have also worked on building models many times in school. For the inner skeleton, it is absolutely fine to use bamboo instead of resin materials."
This time it was Gao Jingfei's turn to say excitedly:
"Then help me make two, don't have to be too big. Just do a few at a foot and let me experiment!"
Guo Shihu nodded and went to his cabinet to search.
When he left home, he brought out all the things he could do at home. Except for those precious collections that were difficult to carry, they were locked in the display cabinet in his bedroom, and some materials and tools for making models were packed and brought over.
If he simply made a few models, he would have ready-made materials, but they were all chemically synthesized, which did not meet the requirements of making psychic paper people.
He put out the toolbox and said to Gao Jingfei:
"We also need to buy some natural paper and bamboo tendons and go there immediately while there is still time, otherwise the city god temple will be closed."
Of course, Gao Jingfei nodded repeatedly and followed Guo Shihu downstairs. He stopped making a bus or subway. In a hurry, they called a taxi directly on their phones and went to Chenghuang Temple.
As a cultural and folk resort in the Jinling area, it is also a must-have area for visiting Jinling. There are many old buildings and alleys in Chenghuang Temple Street that can be called famous attractions, and there are also many snacks and delicacies and shops selling folk goods and tourism souvenir crafts.
Of course, the most famous street in the hearts of locals is the antique calligraphy and painting. This place is like Liulichang Street in the north of the capital, and it is an ancient cultural holy place that retains the essence of traditional culture.
Here you can not only find the four treasures of the study, but also calligraphy, painting, jade, porcelain and miscellaneous items, but also gambling activities. Every holiday, such as the city god's patrol day and the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there are also grand temple fairs and various exquisite lanterns and riddles to guess.
It can be said that this is one of the areas where the Xia Kingdom preserves the most traditional ancient cultures and customs, and it attracts a large number of tourists every year.
Guo Shihu is also a local. He studied at Jinling University for four years. He was very clear about the Chenghuang Temple. He took Gao Jingfei not far from the soon-to-be-crowded Chenghuang Temple Pedestrian Street, then turned left and right, and came to a quieter street.
It is said to be quiet, which is compared with the crowds of people on the Chenghuang Temple Street. There are also many people lingering in various shops on the street.
Gao Jingfei looked at this small street that was neither wide nor long, or just like a larger alley, but the buildings here were all of the ancient bricks and tiles. Although they were not as bright as the decoration on Chenghuang Temple Street, they had a more historical charm.
