Chapter 59: The Three-Tailed Cat Demon
Smoke rose not far from us, as if something was on fire, Li Dafu and I were subconsciously stunned, and ran over quickly, only to see a hunched old woman burning yellow paper money on the edge of a dead grass grave of unknown age.
"Who are you, and why are you here?" the hunched old woman, looking at me and Li Dafu, stopped burning paper money, raised her head full of silver threads, and asked.
"Grandma, we got lost in this tour, that's why we came here," Long Yang replied to the old woman who burned paper.
Li Dafu observed the old woman's every move on the side, it stands to reason that it is unreasonable to come to burn paper for the dead at twelve o'clock at noon, at this point in time, the yang energy is the heaviest, and the paper money burned out will not fall into the hands of the ghost at all, but will make the dead feel angry if they can't get the dead paper.
Li Dafu thought of this, his eyes were cold, and he knew that the old woman in front of him was extraordinary, either a hermit in the mountains was transformed by evil things, there are only these two possibilities, demons and monsters can be called ever-changing, don't be blinded by the blinding method in front of you.
I have long doubted this point, we people who learn the Tao know very well about the joys and sorrows of the people, not to mention that the melons are ripe and have to have a rough idea, and the old man in front of him must not be a good stubble.
"Since you're lost, I'll take you down the mountain after I've burned the paper money and rested for a while?" said the old woman.
"Then thank you grandmother," I bowed down to express my gratitude, and the two of them stood aside and waited for the old woman.
The hunchback is the most distinctive appearance of this old man who burns paper money, and she is very thin, and the flesh and blood on the back of her hand are gone, more precisely, like a bamboo pole, and from time to time she is still swinging.
"Senior Brother Li, I'm afraid this old lady is not a good person, we have to be careful!" I used the Maoshan Tongxin technique to pass on my words to Li Dafu on the side through what I thought.
"Little junior brother, I also feel that this old woman is not a good woman, see what she is going to do next, if she really sends us out of the mountain, it is okay to say, if she has bad intentions, it will give her a cold heart when the time comes" Li Dafu was moved by his heart and responded.
I nodded, didn't say anything more, and waited silently.
Half an hour later, the old woman burned the last piece of yellow paper money in her hand, raised her head and lifted the broken bamboo basket thrown in front of the old tombstone, slowly got up and turned her face, and only said a word.
"Follow my wife, walk faster, don't get lost when the time comes. ”
Hey, isn't this old woman stupid, hunched over and not talking, walking staggeringly, saying something unpleasant, like a turtle, how can she not keep up with her, it's really ridiculous, but for ordinary people, for me and Li Dafu, my heart suddenly clenched, and I felt a bad thought in my heart.
The old woman stepped on the broken bamboo basket with her right hand and walked towards the path on the left, her steps still staggering, limping and walking very slowly.
Li Dafu and I followed behind the old woman, the same speed was neither fast nor slow, and there were ten steps away in the middle, just in case.
I don't know how long I walked, but when I reached the position halfway down the mountain, the old woman in front of me suddenly accelerated her pace, and the speed was still far behind, but the speed increased several times.
This path is particularly deserted, there are tiny bamboos on both sides of the road, which makes people feel that they are not walked on at all, and the wild grass on the ground is half a human height, which is more and more fucking weird the more you look at it.
Li Dafu and I also sped up a few points, and when we looked ahead, the old woman in front of us suddenly disappeared now.
"It's not good! It's a trick! Let's go!" Li Dafu knew that things were not good, and just wanted to walk back to take a look, but there was no road behind him, and the previous path disappeared out of thin air!
"Hee-hee, I don't know it's too late now" The old woman appeared not far in front, to be precise, a monster with a cat-faced human body, with three furry tails growing from the back.
"Three-tailed cat demon!" I said, looking at the monster in front of me in surprise.
The three-tailed cat demon is a rare monster that kills people and eats its flesh, and the means of stripping the heart and removing the bones are extremely cruel. The tail is a sign of its own cultivation, one tail represents fifty years of demon power, and now it seems to be three tails, so this monster has one hundred and fifty years of Taoism, and it belongs to the big goblin.
"I knew that you were not a good bird, but I didn't expect to be revealed so quickly, which really surprised Lao Tzu!" Li Dafu said with a crooked neck.
"Hmph, I'm still sure of dealing with you two defenseless humans, I haven't tasted human flesh for a long time, I'm tired of eating the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains, I'm going to open the meat with you today" After the three-tailed cat demon finished speaking, he meowed twice, kicked his legs, and one soared towards me and Li Dafu.
"Look who eats who first!" Li Dafu is now angry in his heart, and when the enemy who wanted to kill the master slipped away, he was worried that he had no place to vent his anger, so he just came to relieve his anger, roared, opened his legs and took steps out of the mountain, and greeted him.
There is a difference between Tiangangbu and Digangbu, only the inner disciples of Maoshan have the opportunity to be taught by the sect, and the outer disciples can only learn Digangbu.
I watched Li Dafu rush forward from the sidelines, but I didn't expect Li Dafu to beat this set of outer door footwork like a shadow, which can be said to be superb, which is not easy.
