New and dark light years

Chapter 163 Can we stop the supernatural powers first?

The saying goes that a person's character is reflected in their handwriting, or vice versa; this is certainly true, at least in literary circles.

Li Lin's calligraphy can be considered to have a very strong sense of craftsmanship.

However, Song typeface has an advantage in that it is 'clear'. Every horizontal and vertical stroke has its origin and every left-falling and right-falling stroke has its destination. Each character is almost the same size, which is elegant and timeless. It is extremely comfortable to look at and easy to read.

Just like Li Lin's appearance, he was exceptionally handsome.

Fang Fengyi's calligraphy, on the other hand, is... unrestrained and unconventional; to put it nicely, it has its own unique style, free and unrestrained.

To put it bluntly, it's just some random, wildly cursive writing.

The three characters "Fang Fengyi" are written in cursive script; without several years of reading experience, you simply cannot decipher them.

Why can Fang Fengyi break through the defenses?
Because more than one person said his handwriting was messy.

Including his teachers.

The problem is, he can't change.

He could tolerate being scolded by his superior, but Li Lin was just a county lieutenant, either a warrior or a spirit hunter, what did he know about literature?

It's understandable that he was annoyed by such comments.

"Hmph, what do you know about words, you mere martial artist?"

"Even if I've never eaten pork, I've seen pigs walk," Li Lin laughed. "I know whether someone's handwriting is good or bad."

"you……"

Fang Fengyi snorted, wanting to accuse Li Lin'an of disrespecting his superior, but if he really investigated, although the position of Sihu Canjun was a government post and seemed to have a higher rank than the county lieutenant, it was actually a nominal position.

The three officials with real power in the prefectural government were the prefect, the sub-prefect, and the patrol inspector (military commander).

There was no military advisor or registrar.

Fang Fengyi is very unhappy with Li Lin.

He always called himself a refined gentleman and the most handsome man in Tianjin. Now a martial arts master has come, who is not only better looking than him, but also holds a powerful official position.

This made him very uncomfortable.

Huang Ling'er, in particular, although she disliked Li Lin, often talked about him in front of him.

This made him even more unhappy.

"Take the documents and leave," Fang Fengyi snorted.

Li Lin smiled and said, "You'll need to have Fang Canjun accompany you, since that's the procedure, and you need to be there to verify it."

"Humph."

Fang Fengyi snorted and walked out.

What happened next was simple: Fang Fengyi led a dozen or so constables to the laundry department.

After identifying the southern barbarian women, he led them outside the city.

After Li Lin had the local militia count the number of women, he stamped the document and then returned it.

"Alright, thank you for joining the army, Fang," Li Lin said with a smile.

Fang Fengyi didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

Li Lin allowed the southern barbarian women to enter the camp.

The local militia immediately cheered.

"Don't do anything reckless!" Li Lin shouted at the excited young men of the local militia. "Anyone who dares to act rashly will face my ruthlessness."

Everyone laughed, and someone shouted, "What if it was consensual?"

Li Lin smiled without saying a word, then turned and left.

The local militia cheered loudly, creating a very noisy scene.

He did not rush to let the local militia leave with their men, but planned to set off again the next day.

After all, it's past noon now, not a good time to set off.

Moreover, he is waiting for someone.

He returned to the inn to rest, and not long after, An Xin appeared.

"Here is the table of contents, please take a look."

Li Lin took the booklet. Although it only had a few pages, he was still quite taken aback after reading it.

Because there are too many.

As expected of a sect with a rich history, there are at least a hundred kinds of martial arts and skills here.

Li Lin read through the pages one by one, and after finishing, he turned to the middle page and said, "This one, weapon crafting." He already had alchemy, and now all he needed was weapon crafting.

An Xin was somewhat surprised: "No one in our Tianyi Sect knows this weapon-refining technique; we only have this manual. You can take a handwritten copy, but if you encounter any parts that you don't understand, our Tianyi Sect has no way to answer them."

"It's nothing," Li Lin said with a smile.

He believed in his special abilities, or rather, his special supernatural powers.

If they can even figure out something from something as difficult as the "Hidden Word Technique," then they can certainly do something from the mere art of weapon crafting.

“Okay.” An Xin stood up. “Wait here for a moment, I’ll go get it for you right away.”

Li Lin also laughed and said, "I'll write you some annotations for the guide paper figure now."

"Thank you for your trouble." An Xin clasped his hands in a fist and then quickly left.

Li Lin asked the shopkeeper to buy him paper and ink, and then began to write down the secrets of the 'Guiding Paper Man'.

Since this is just a basic technique in paper-making, there isn't much to write.

But Li Lin still thoughtfully wrote down all his thoughts.

It's fair to say that Li Lin has only just begun to understand the art of paper-making.

But his mastery of the paper doll technique is unparalleled.

No one understands paper figures better than him.

After Li Lin finished writing, he was waiting for An Xin when he heard faint footsteps coming from the corridor.

At first, he thought the other party was An Xin, but then his expression turned serious, he took a few steps back, and picked up the red-tasseled spear that was placed next to him with his right hand.

Anxin had no reason to make his footsteps so quiet.

Moreover, the footsteps disappeared as soon as they reached the door.

Li Lin understood that if he went over there, there was a chance that a sharp weapon would pierce through the door.

He pondered for a few moments, then took out several paper figures from his pocket and threw them on the ground.

The little paper figures turned from white to pink, then hopped and skipped to the wooden door, before squeezing through the gap in the bottom door.

It's only thanks to being a two-dimensional character that such outrageous actions can be performed.

Then, someone quickly left outside the door.

Through the 'sensory perception' transmitted back by the little paper doll, Li Lin 'saw' the people outside.

A man with an ordinary appearance.

There's nothing particularly outstanding about it; it's just a bunch of honest, simple people you can see everywhere on the streets.

But the other party ran very fast, seemingly disturbed by the little paper figure.

The other person ran quickly, trying to escape.

Li Lin, carrying his red-tasseled spear, rushed out of the room.

He saw a figure running frantically downstairs.

Behind this figure came several small paper figures running at full speed, waving their arms high and chasing after it, running quite fast.

This is thanks to Li Lin's improved strength, with spiritual energy replacing yin energy.

The paper doll's 'performance' has also made a qualitative leap.

Not only are they 'smarter,' they also run faster.

A small pink paper figure had climbed onto the person's back and was sticking tightly to him.

The other person was running quite fast. Although Li Lin was faster, it would still take some time to catch up.

The man was now very close to the inn's entrance. If he were allowed to rush out and blend into the dense crowd on the street, it would be very difficult for those behind him to catch up. He looked delighted.

However, Li Lin was not in a hurry. He had already stuck a small paper doll to the other person's back. Even if the other person blended into the crowd, he would have a way to find him again.

Just as the man was about to run away, he was suddenly thrown back and crashed to the ground, screaming in agony.

An Xin, holding a book in his right hand, slowly walked in from outside.

Seeing this, Li Lin smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, Brother An."

“Don’t be so polite. Even without me, you can catch him.” An Xin said slowly, looking at the little paper figure running around on the ground.

However, his expression was rather unpleasant, and he stood at the door, unwilling to come in.

She seemed somewhat afraid of these little paper figures, and her expression was a little strained.

After observing for a while, he said, "Brother Li, could you please stop using this supernatural power?"
