Paper Man Conjures Spirits
Mystery纸人招魂
You Da Xia
In the seventh year of the Republic of China, a man carrying a dead body by the Youshui River was hit by a dead body. On the night when the salesman Chen Sanshui delivered the wedding dress to the funeral parlor, he encountered a strange scene of the sudden death of a paper maker - blood-stained glutinous rice spilled from the fingers of the deceased, and bloodshot eyeballs were embedded in the eye sockets of the unfinished paper man. Since then, Youshui Town has fallen into the curse of "Three Days of Resurrection": whenever Yin and Mao meet, someone will die suddenly with a cinnabar talisman appearing on his palm, and a bloody crake will repeat the last words of the deceased in the fog. When the seventh corpse opened its eyes in the gold-painted coffin of the ancestral hall, Chen Sanshui heard an even more horrifying secret - buried under the roots of the ancient locust trees wrapped with bronze bells were nine corpses that had failed in refining twenty years ago; on the faded goatskin in the secret room of the patriarch's study, the writings of the "Yin Fu Jing" were soaked with the birthplace of a living person; and the ownerless Yin sedan that circled the tomb every night had a paper face that matched his face revealed under the curtain of the sedan.
