Chapter 45: The Cat Changes
Under the hazy moonlight, in a neighborhood in Husu City, two figures and a long shadow were staging a scene of rushing forward and backward.
"Fox lady, didn't you just say that you want to fight me, then why do you want to run away?"
"Good foxes don't fight with mice!"
"Okay, you little slut, I'll catch you later!"
A groom happened to be passing along the street carrying a gong.
"It's dry, be careful of the fire~ Ouch hey!" The husband suddenly smelled a burst of fragrant wind blowing on his face, but he didn't see anything clearly, and he was hit by someone, causing him to fall directly to the ground.
"I'm sorry!" The fragrant wind suddenly disappeared, leaving only a delicate voice.
"It turned out to be a woman, no wonder it smells so good! But why did you run away without even seeing anyone? The husband sat on the ground, sniffing the fragrance in his hand and muttering to himself.
But then, as the ground shook, a huge and old black shadow passed by.
"In the middle of the night, whose cow ~ my mother, what a big mouse!" The husband saw it really this time, and immediately let out a scream of extreme horror.
"Who's shouting?"
"It seems to be coming from Xinglongfang, go and take a look!"
Not long after, several officials in soap clothes came to me with lanterns, and when they saw the husband who was paralyzed on the ground, they asked, "What are you shouting just now?" β
The husband trembled and pointed to the west: "Old ~ old ~ monster!" β
"Old youkai?" Several officials were shocked, and the difference slapped their heads, and suddenly realized: "Maybe that monster has appeared!" You, and you, go back and inform Cui County Order! β
"Yes!"
The time has passed, but the lights in the Gusu County Ya are still bright, and the county commander Cui Shen is sitting in the public court, and at this time he is accompanied by a few officials, as well as the treasure mirror placed on the court case.
An official said: "I don't know if the Rakshasa ghost will appear tonight, why should the county order be here?" If the brothers outside find out about the whereabouts of the Rakshasa ghost, it will not be too late for me to go to the house to inform him! β
"The Rakshasa ghost has already killed several lives of my Husu people, if there are three more accidents, and I can't get rid of it or give the world an explanation, I guess I won't be wearing this black gauze hat for a long time!" Cui Shen hid his thoughts in his heart, and flatly refused: "Since the Rakshasa ghost has appeared for several nights in a row, I don't believe that it will only appear tonight." β
As soon as Cui Shen's words fell, two officials came in a hurry outside the court, and as soon as the two entered the door, they shouted: "County order, the monster has appeared in Xinglongfang!" β
"Oh, did you see it with your own eyes?"
"Back to the county order, it was discovered by a patrolling man, he said that he saw a monster, but we really heard it!"
"Youkai?" Cui Shen was puzzled, thinking about why another monster appeared, but after thinking about it, he felt that the husband might not be able to distinguish the difference between evil ghosts and monsters, so he was immediately relieved. He was in high spirits, walked to the side of the case and picked up the treasure mirror, and then gave an order: "You wait to follow me to Xinglongfang to eliminate the evil!" β
"But the county order, the monster has already left Xinglongfang."
"What? Do you know where it's going? β
"According to the direction pointed by the husband, it should be going to the Chengxi Jiukang Fang!"
"Okay, then I'll go to Jiukang Fang later!"
The words are divided into two ends.
"Xie Ziping, you cheer up a little, you are so half-dead, I am so tired of dragging you! If you do this again, we'll really die here! Zhou Hongxian finally got rid of Yu Erlang's long distance, and at this moment he was finally able to slow down and breathe a little, but as soon as she saw Xie Qiao's half-dead appearance, she was extremely anxious.
Xie Qiao didn't even look at Zhou Hongxian, but as soon as the words came out, Zhou Hongxian was almost so angry that he vomited blood: "Zhou Niangzi, don't care about me anymore, run away alone!" Don't let me drag you down any longer! β
Zhou Hongxian resisted the urge to spit dirty, she said indignantly: "Xie Ziping, you really have no conscience when you say this, isn't it because of Qianniang's entrustment, I am guilty of dragging you so far?" You don't have any human appearance along the way, Qianniang was harmed by the old ghost of Songpa and Yu Erlang, as her husband, not only did you not have the slightest intention of avenging her, but also kept only caring about yourself and being depressed, if I were you, I really wanted to die headlong! β
Xie Qiao let out a wry smile, and finally glanced at Zhou Hongxian: "Zhou Niangzi, then you teach me what to do, how to save Qianniang?" β
"I-" Zhou Hongxian was a little speechless, thinking that I need to know what to do, so do I still have to run away so embarrassed?
"Do you still need me to teach you, aren't you a staff member under Cui Xianling, you can't even think of this idea? If you want me to say, you might as well think about how to escape the catastrophe in front of you, and then wait until you have time to invite a master to subdue the demon, and then you can't go to learn the art yourself, in short, the more you don't give up, the more you can reflect the depth of your love for Qianniang! β
"Demon slayer?" Xie Qiao was slightly stunned, and looked at Zhou Hongxian with some intent.
Zhou Hongxian was slightly angry: "I said what are you looking at me to do when I subdue the demon, although I am a demon, I am an upright demon, you just need to think about avenging your lady!" β
Xie Qiao seemed to be suddenly alert, he shook his head and said, "Zhou Niangzi, you misunderstood, you just said that the demon subduing woke me up!" Can you take me to the county office quickly? β
"You can't go anywhere!" Yu Erlang's sharp voice suddenly approached, and it turned out that when Zhou Hongxian slowed down slightly, he chased after him again.
"Do you want to be so haunted?" Zhou Hong is now a little bitter.
"Hey, hey, fox lady, are you tired of dragging a mortal? With your little mana, I really feel sorry for you, if you want to give up, can you rest in my Yu Erlang's arms? Although Yu Erlang's body has turned into a giant rat, the commotion is still unabated, and he can see that Zhou Hong is now beginning to show fatigue, so Yue has launched a heart of teasing.
"Xie Ziping, if you can't run away this time, it is estimated that I can only die with you." Zhou Hongxian knew that he would not end well in the hands of Yu Erlang, and he was even more worried about his lack of mana, and his expression began to become a little depressed.
"Zhou Niangzi, you?" Xie Qiao looked at Zhou Hongxian's beautiful side face, and was slightly distracted.
Jiukang Fang, a gathering place for restaurants in Husu City, although the restaurants are closed at night, the street is still filled with a faint aroma of wine.
At this moment, the air and ground around Jiukang Fang began to tremble.
"I've overtaken you, fox lady, where do I see you going?" In the moonlight, a rat tail as long as a whip flipped into the air, throwing both figures out of the air.
Zhou Hongxian and Xie Qiao both landed, each letting out a muffled snort, and both fell lightly.
The giant rat pounced on Zhou Hongxian at once, and one of the front paws that pressed her shoulder gently hit the ground like a prey, and a strange smile appeared on her pointed face: "Fox lady, I said you can't run away!" Hmph, you look down on me Yu Erlang, and you still learn from Qianniang's little slut to fall in love with the same mortal, look at how I play you two to death today! β
Although Zhou Hongxian was restrained, he refused to admit defeat: "You can't spit out ivory in your mouth!" β
"Dare to be hard-mouthed? Okay, I'll eat this little white face in front of you first, and then I'll rub you! The giant rat stretched out its long tail again, wrapped it around Xie Qiao's right foot, and let Xie Qiao struggle as hard as he could, only dragging him hard in front of him, its mouth already open, and a row of fine fangs stained with blood and extremely fishy.
"Meowβ"
At this moment, a cat cry suddenly came from nowhere, and the giant rat trembled, and the two front paws that suppressed Zhou Hongxian became slightly loose.
Zhou Hongxian sensed the opportunity to get out, but the human body was too big to get out after all, I saw her gritted her teeth, and finally swished, her body all shrank into the dress, and after a while, a small red fox came out of it, and at the same time escaped the front paws of the giant rat.
The giant rat reacted, and it made an angry voice: "Good you fox lady, you dare to play golden cicada shell with me!" But suddenly, the giant rat felt a tingling pain, and at some point, the red fox had gone around behind it and scratched its tail directly with its paws, and its tail suddenly loosened.
"Xie Ziping, aren't you running yet?"
Seeing that Xie Qiao was also about to escape from his threat, the giant rat began to rage, and it went on a rampage to catch up and bite Xie Qiao to death. But at this moment, there was another cat meow, and the huge body of the giant rat was involuntarily frightened again.
On the roof of one of the houses in Jiukangfang, a black cat crouched quietly, the moonlight shining on its smooth satin fur, reflecting a faint cold light, its turquoise eyes staring at the street below the eaves, as if waiting for something.
"Xie Ziping, follow me, there is a path here, Yu Erlang's current body can't get in!"
Ignoring the one person and one fox that he was not interested in, the target in the black cat's eyes finally appeared, which was a giant rat the size of a buffalo. Seeing that the giant rat was about to run underneath, the black cat arched all over, jumped forward, and jumped directly onto the giant rat's back.
"Meow!"
The giant rat trembled, but it found that the black cat on its back seemed to be an ordinary cat, so it began to roar: "Where did the cat come from, is it really an ordinary mouse?"
The black cat ignored it, and instead there was a hint of a playful smile in its turquoise eyes, and suddenly it flashed its fangs and bit down on the back of the mouse's neck.
"How dare a dead cat bite me? See if I don't clean you up! The giant rat suddenly stopped running wildly, and his body gradually turned into a naked Yu Erlang, who was about to reach out to grab the black cat behind him as soon as he became an adult.
Unexpectedly, the black cat jumped lightly again, jumped back to the roof, and continued to stare at Yu Erlang below with playful eyes.
"You're dying, I'm going to eat you!" Yu Erlang's eyes showed a fierce light, but then his face gradually became a little weird, and finally it was replaced by an obvious panic.
"What's going on, why is my mana fading?"
Yu Erlang's body stiffened, shrinking smaller and smaller like a leaky ball, and finally turned into a mouse of no ordinary size. It saw the black cat jump off the roof again, but this time all it had left was panic.
"Don't, Grandpa Cat, I was wrong!" The voice has taken on a crying tone.
The black cat didn't care too much, just picked up the mouse and jumped back to the roof. As it tilted its head, the rat was thrown in a beautiful arc in the air, and finally fell perfectly into its mouth.
The size of the black cat began to increase dramatically, and after a long time, it returned to its original state. It looked up at the moon and suddenly spoke: "After two hundred years of Taoism, I can finally stop being just a civet cat in front of my Buddha seat, hehehehe~" The black cat left along the roof, leaving no trace in the night.
In the shadows under the eaves, Zhou Hongxian's voice came softly: "Xie Ziping, did you see it just now?" β
"Yes. The rat demon died, but a cat demon was born, but I don't know if it was good or bad. β
