When Zhou Jianmu was 9 years old, her parents took her to a guild hall and gave her to the guild hall's master Bai Qianyi as an apprentice. They would then take her back when she turned 18.
Bai Qianyi stuffed a strange-shaped pen into his apprentice's hand as a gift. Before Zhou Jianmu's parents came, Bai Qianyi "accidentally" passed by and picked it up, and asked Zhou Jianmu to wait for her in the east wing of the guild hall at noon tomorrow.
Zhou Jianmu went there. Her master Bai Qianyi was wearing a black robe and holding a pen and paper with a complicated expression. He asked Zhou Jianmu to sit down and draw any picture she thought of. When Zhou Jianmu started writing, the fuzzy picture in his mind became clear and profound, and he continued to draw strokes in his hand, as if he was being guided to draw every stroke. Just as she was about to finish the painting, the pen in her hand was knocked out by Bai Qianyi. Zhou Jianmu hurriedly lowered her head to look at the painting, but saw that there was nothing in the painting. She looked at Bai Qianyi's sad face and asked her what these were.
Bai Qianyi told her that there is a profession in this world - puppet painter. Bai Qianyi is one, and now, so is Zhou Jianmu. The puppet painter is the painter of ghosts and gods. If the ghosts and gods want to appear in the world, the puppet painter will draw the appearance of the ghosts and gods, and the ghosts and gods will come. When a puppet painter deals with ghosts and gods who behave badly and intend to cause harm, they will draw and summon the ghosts and gods who signed the agreement to help. If the puppet painter does not have enough mental power, he will easily become a container for ghosts and gods and become a puppet spirit.
Zhou Jian was confused. She became a puppet painter, and her first painting was to complete her unfinished portrait. Bai Qianyi said that the puppet painter must pay attention to the ghosts and gods summoned before finishing the painting. And asked her to sign an agreement with a ghost and god as soon as possible.
Zhou Jianmu still felt that it was safer to sign an agreement with the first ghost and god drawn, so Zhou Jianmu signed a contract with the ghost named Wu.
