Chapter 23: Seven-Tailed Cat Gu
The night, all of a sudden, became thick and deep.
The moon rises higher and higher, passing through wisps of light clouds, which looks particularly strange, and there seems to be a terrifying power in the silence.
As Changsheng approached step by step, an idea suddenly popped into his mind and said to me, "Could these rats be controlled by someone?" I've heard that there are some strange people who can train some very obedient little animals to make them do all kinds of things. ”
"Cut, what a strange person, it's just a circus, when will Sister take you to open your eyes." I despised Changsheng, and at the same time, I changed the conversation and said, "These seven fat rats in front of you, maybe someone really put them here on purpose?" Or is there something in this coffin? ”
Hearing me say this, Changsheng was even more cautious, he bent his waist and carefully picked up the grass, and seven fat mice were standing there in a row. Without much hesitation, he quietly picked up the stone on the ground and slammed it into the seven fat rats.
"Twitter......twitter"
The rats let out a panic and quickly ran away, Changsheng hurriedly pounced, but none of them were caught.
"Your uncle!" Changsheng roared rudely. The seven disabled rats started to run, no slower than normal mice, like a wind.
The rats had been scared away by the immortals, and the chirping of insects came out of the soil in front of the tomb, and the fragments of bones left over by the rats were scattered on the ground, and the scene looked a little embarrassed and desolate.
After calming down a bit, we took a closer look at the newly built tomb to see what was so strange about it.
Changsheng walked around slowly, not finding anything special, and I looked at the lonely half-exposed coffin with some suspicion.
"Could it be that there is something wrong with this coffin?" Thinking of the seven rats I saw just now, I was suspicious. Changsheng also asked for my opinion and said, "Ye Xiaoluan, why don't you go over and open the coffin and take a look?" ”
"It's so weird tonight, we're trapped here for no reason, maybe there's a zombie lying in the coffin waiting for you to die!"
"Some of them have been eaten by rats!" Changsheng said, cautiously walking towards the coffin, every step was extremely careful,
The night breeze was gentle, but it made his back a little cold, and at this time, he stepped on the white bones under the fragments of the bones, and the bones instantly turned into a smear of white ash under his feet, and were blown away by the wind.
It's just that neither I nor Changsheng have noticed this kind of ghostly sight.
The coffin was in front of him, Changsheng first put a hand on the edge of the coffin, and then carefully pressed the coffin, and the palm of his hand was attached to the coffin board, there was no reaction or movement in the coffin, and his heart relaxed a little!
"I said Sister Xiaoluan, you are vigilant, if there is any movement, you have to remind me immediately!" Changsheng took another step forward, completely on full alert, as long as there was any situation in the coffin, he would definitely run in a rhythm of spreading his legs.
"Your little life is wrapped in your sister...... Well, it's safe now! "I felt it for a while, and I didn't see any yin qi or anything like that.
At this time, Changsheng had already approached the coffin, but the coffin was still silent and unresponsive.
"Is there really nothing in this coffin?" The lid of the coffin had already been loosened, and with a flick of my hand, it had been completely decolorized, revealing patches of dark red coffin interior, and soon it was completely exposed to Changsheng's eyes, and I also held my breath and looked into the coffin.
In the small space in the coffin, there are no imaginary terrifying zombies, no ghosts that linger, and even the bones, there is not a single bone!
However, inside the empty coffin, there was a pair of beautiful embroidered shoes, and the red ones were so dazzling.
"Little ...... Little Taoist, do you think they are a pair of embroidered shoes? "I remember the ghost stories I used to listen to were "a pair of embroidered shoes", which was quite a classic ghost story, but also a nightmare of childhood, when I was almost scared to cry, at this time I saw the real embroidered shoes scene, I couldn't help myself for a while, I forgot that I was already a real female ghost, and I was not afraid of these gods and gods.
"Good...... Seems so! ”
"How can there be embroidered shoes?" Looking at the beautiful embroidered shoes in the coffin, a thought suddenly came to my mind, is it a prank? But in this gloomy mountain road, except for the coffin is the grave, who would play tricks on people like this?
Changsheng took out the embroidered shoes and looked at them carefully, these shoes were very beautiful, very new, and the style was also very fashionable...... The more he looked at it, the deeper the doubts in his heart became, but now there was a more serious problem in front of us! That is, in this mountain path, we seem to be unable to get out, and we have fallen into a situation of running back and forth.
"Ghost hitting the wall? That's not right, this ghost is trapped by people, and my ghost is also trapped now, isn't it scientific? "I said to myself.
And Changsheng kept staring at the beautiful woman's embroidered shoes, and suddenly he said fiercely: "If there is no way here, I don't believe it!" ”
"Nonsense, of course it's the doorway, and it's the doorway!" In an inexplicable coffin exposed by an unnamed grave, there is actually a pair of embroidered shoes of a popular style; Moreover, before this, after the seven fat rats gnawed the bones, they actually bowed to this coffin three times.
The two of us were silent for a while, and the doubts in our hearts under the depressed atmosphere were like layers of black clouds, which made me and Changsheng a little uncomfortable. I even vaguely felt that the seven rats might not be worshipping the coffin, but the embroidered shoes!
Changsheng seemed to think of something, and the things of the dead should not be desecrated, and he hurriedly put the embroidered shoes back into the coffin.
Unable to find a solution, Changsheng and I were trapped and exhausted, we found an open space, and sat down helplessly, only to wait until dawn, the sun rose, and the puzzle naturally disappeared, and any weirdness would be wiped out.
The darkness before dawn deepened and deepened, and suddenly inside the dark coffin, there was a soft sound of "meow meow", without a trace of light, Changsheng looked at the source of the gentle sound, because of the temporary help of my ghost eye, he could see in the darkness.
I saw that in the black half of the coffin, the place where the sound started, was something even darker.
That dark thing was like a stone, and like a ball, quiet!
No, it looks like a shadow!
And, surprisingly, the shadows seemed to move!
Just now we took a closer look at the coffin, and the embroidered shoes were empty, so what was this sudden shadow? Changsheng was surprised for a while, just when he wanted to ask me what this shadow was.
Suddenly, the shadow was slowly shrinking, shrinking......
"Ahh
Changsheng didn't have time to let out a complete exclamation, and then the whole person collapsed to the ground in an instant!
My scalp was tingling, too, because just now, I saw a pair of blood-red eyes staring at me in the shadows!
I read that absolutely right, it was a pair of eyes. Those eyes certainly didn't look human, because normal human eyes are black with whites. But the eyes that suddenly appeared in the coffin were red, as red as a touch of blood!
I didn't feel the breath of a ghost, could it be that these are a pair of demon eyes?
"Meow...... Meow ......" The clear and mournful cry is even brighter, and you can clearly hear that it is a cat meow. At this time, the faint light of the morning sun fell on Changsheng's body, and the figure of a black cat floated in front of me, its eyes were blood-red, looking at me deeply, and what was even more terrifying was that it had seven tails...... Soon I was in a daze, and I felt like I was falling apart, and I felt like my whole body was being sucked by the black cat, and this ghost thing was actually eating me, and I was still conscious, and this sober pain made me prefer to be scattered now.
At this moment, out of nowhere, a crisp rooster crowed, and my whole body suddenly gushed out of a cold, tightly wrapped to protect me, the black cat looked at me deeply, turned away, and I fainted directly, I never knew that ghosts would faint before.
I don't know how long it took, but Changsheng felt someone tapping him on the shoulder when he was groggy.
"Changsheng, wake up, wake up! How did you sleep out here? ”
Changsheng opened his eyes and saw that it was the master who came.
"Xiao Luan'er, why did Changsheng sleep here?" Ying Toad looked at me, a little surprised.
"We got a ghost hitting the wall and getting knocked unconscious?"
"Ghost hitting the wall?" Ying Toad nodded, "It's cool and cool here, let's go back and talk about it!" ”
I could see that there was some solemnity in Master's eyes, and I didn't want to say anything. Back at Laojun Pavilion, Changsheng told Master about the scene he saw last night with a melancholy face.
"You saw seven rats worshipping the coffin?"
Changsheng and I nodded slightly.
"You found a pair of embroidered shoes in the coffin?"
Changsheng and I continued to nod slightly.
"You see a black cat with blood-red eyes?"
I nodded lightly again.
"You didn't see that?" Seeing that Changsheng didn't nod, Ying Toad turned his head and asked him.
Changsheng said with a look of grievance: "I only saw blood-red eyes, and I was stunned, and I didn't see the cat......"
"Out of the ...... Does this cat have seven tails? ”
I just kept nodding my head.
Master Ying Toad took a hard sip and said, "Changsheng, Xiao Luan'er, I don't know if you have heard of it, there is an evil secret technique in the Miao Jiang region!" ”
"You're talking about raising Gu, right?" I said with a frown.
Master nodded, "Yes, Miao Jiang raises Gu, and it is strange!" ”
"Then what does the fat mouse have to do with the blood-eyed black cat and raising Gu?" Changsheng couldn't help but ask.
"If I'm not mistaken, that blood-eyed black cat should be a Gu raised by the Miao Jiang people, a cat Gu!" Master looked at us and said seriously.
"Cat Gu?"
"That's right, the cat Gu turns nine tails into a cat demon, eats the dead day and night, worships the new grave every night, one tail is divided into nine sections, and the belly is pregnant with a ghost fetus!"
Master's words were very serious, and we knew the seriousness of the matter from her expression!
The master was silent for a moment, and then continued to speak: "Once the tail of the cat Gu is divided into nine sections, it means that it is a kind of Gu that has successfully transformed into a cat demon, and at this time, the nine-tailed cat Gu may not even recognize its owner...... Fortunately, this is still a seven-tailed cat Gu ......"?
This strange and unpredictable cat Gu appeared in the Changxian Temple, and at the same time, there were just stationed troops, coupled with the students and teachers of St. Mary, the situation became complicated, I vaguely felt that this matter was not simple, but I just couldn't figure out where there was a problem?
But soon the problem appeared, and the news came that all the people in a girls' dormitory in Santa Maria were missing last night, no more, no less, just seven girls!
