Chapter 5: The Murder of Chen's Mansion

[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Mu Shancheng told his son that the Tao of Immortality had been resurrected and had grown stronger, and he hoped that his son would accept the qualified Mei Xiang as an apprentice, but Mu Qingming refused; Immediately afterwards, Mu Shanshu deliberately drunk his son at the dinner table by breaking the evil spirit of the Chen Mansion, intending to create an opportunity for his son and Mo Han to be alone. Then Mu Qingming, who was eager to eliminate demons, was really drunk, and Mu Shanshu told Mo Han that his son was worried too much and that he didn't like her and left in a hurry. After nightfall, Mo Han decided to cherish the opportunity that Mu Shan had created for them; At this moment, the black cat raised by the fourth aunt of the Chen Mansion came to the door and went straight to Mu Qingming's bedroom. Led out the black cat into a dream and opened his mouth to speak, Daoming that there were indeed people in the Chen Mansion who were performing soul refining and evil arts, Mu Qingming decided to visit the Chen Mansion at night, but he didn't want to encounter a bizarre murder in the Chen Mansion. 】

The moonlight reflects the bluestone, and the silver light turns the ground.

In the small courtyard of the Mu family in the dead of night, only the north wind whistled by, and no one noticed that the black cat rushed into Mu Qingming's bedroom like a wind, and even the tengu eating the moon that looked like a mastiff did not notice it.

The black cat stood in front of Mu Qingming's bed, and after sweeping the long fluffy tail on the ground left and right, he jumped up and jumped on the bed, and with its two-colored cat eyes, he looked at Mu Qingming, who was snoring loudly, and then squatted down for a long time, then straightened up and lifted the two front paws off the ground, straightened his paws and pointed the tips of his back paws at the sky, like a person surrendering and praying.

In the eyes of the double* eye, there are even more green rays from the bottom of the eyes, which is extremely weird.

Mu Qingming, who was groggy and sleeping, suddenly felt as if he was licking something warm and moist on his cheeks, and felt a little prickly and itchy.

Not to mention sleepiness this time, even the drunkenness was gone, and Mu Qingming, who woke up suddenly, sat up the moment he opened his eyes, and a layer of fine sweat oozed from his head in shock.

Then he turned his head and saw a black cat squatting next to his pillow, and after a closer look, he recognized that this was the cat that the fourth aunt saw in Chen's mansion during the day.

Looking at the surrounding scenery again, it was blurry, and he could only see the black cat clearly, and Mu Qing suddenly knew that he had fallen into the dream technique of the demon clan.

At this moment, he was awake only in his consciousness and not in his body. And the black cat he saw was not the main body, but the cat demon consciousness that had infiltrated his consciousness.

He didn't have any fear, but he was just about to open his mouth after being slightly surprised, but the black cat opened his mouth first, and said a human word and pleaded: "Young Master Mu, there is something in the Chen Mansion that wants to harm the fourth aunt, and I can take the liberty of asking for it because I can feel the powerful True Qi in you, which can break the evil thing; I implore Young Master Mu to show mercy and save the fourth aunt! ”。 After saying this, he bent his limbs, knelt down in front of Mu Qingming, and lowered his cat head.

And the sound from its mouth is a woman's voice from beginning to end, delicate and soft, which is very good; Mu Qingming was stunned again, not that he was shocked that the black cat would spit out, but he didn't expect that he would delve into the evil black cat and came to the door for help. Besides, the black cat in front of him is a cat demon, and if he can't speak human words, it's called hell; What's more, at this time, the other party performed the dream technique. In this technique, the demon can do anything that is impossible in reality.

Mu Qingming then scratched his head and asked, "Can you tell me what this evil thing is?" I do feel evil in your house, but I don't know what the source is? ”。

It's just one side of the black cat's words, he just half-believes.

"It's an evil thing made by alchemy, someone is quietly refining the soul of the eldest lady, and wants to kill the fourth aunt." The black cat trembled, and seemed to have a lingering fear about this: "It's a comb, a comb made of the leg bones and ten-finger phalanges of the eldest lady, and I can smell its breath exactly the same as the soul of the eldest lady." But my cultivation was too low to fight against this thing, and not only did I fail to make a few attempts, but I was almost killed by the evil spirit. ”。

"So you've seen the comb with your own eyes?" Mu Qing asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it's just that the thing is smooth and white like ivory, and the teeth are sleek and comfortable, and the fourth aunt can't put it down too much, and it is like a treasure. But because of this, the fourth aunt would comb her hair with that comb at 10 midnight every night. Every time she combed her hair, she was like being possessed by a ghost, and she would immediately become a person with another personality, always sneering in the mirror, grinning at the corners of her mouth to the root of her ears, and her eyes were full of greed. The black cat trembled again, this time even the long whiskers on both sides of her cheeks shook a few times, and then continued: "But the next day, the fourth aunt herself didn't remember these things, but her spirit became more and more sluggish, and she often had headaches and felt cold. And I can clearly feel that the soul of the eldest lady is trapped in that comb by alchemy. She had been struggling and roaring all day, trying to break free from the alchemy on the comb but couldn't. If Young Master Mu can help me steal the comb, it will not only save the fourth aunt, but also free the soul of the eldest lady in the comb. ”。

"I'm too weak to destroy the comb full of evil energy, so I can only rely on you." The black cat, who was a little ashamed and helpless, added: "I beg Young Master Mu to show mercy." ”。

Mu Qingming knew that the cat demon, like all monsters, had a different perception from ordinary people, and this had nothing to do with cultivation, but their animal instincts. Mu Qingming didn't have too many doubts about its words, but frowned and asked curiously, "Do you know how that comb got to Chen's mansion?" ”。

The black cat nodded, opened his mouth and said, "About ten days ago, I bought it back at the Yunjin Night Market with the master." ”。

Yunjin Night Market is located in the west section of the oldest Tuodong Road in Kunming City, and the street is also a gathering place for salt merchants, most of whom live in the area of Sanyuanpu in the east section, and also built the Yanlong Temple in the Zhenqing Temple, hoping for the protection of the salt god every year The salt production is rich and prosperous. Therefore, that place is also called Yunjin Pu (now Kunming Xunjin Street), and even the shops that buy and sell official salt are also in the nearby Yandian Lane.

At night, the Yunjin Night Market, which is close to the Panlong River and Desheng Bridge, is even more lively, with small traders and hawkers gathering here to buy and sell food, drink and merry. It also formed one of the eight scenic spots of Kunming - Yunjin Night Market.

Whenever the sun sets and the sky goes into the night, the area around Yunjinpu is full of brilliant lights like a sea of stars, and the victory bridge is full of pedestrians rubbing shoulders, and both sides of the Panlong River are also very lively. The shouting sound from the teahouses and restaurants, the plump and charming beauty in the fine curtain of the Zhumen, the bamboo fungus floating out of the small window of carved clouds, and the painting boats and sparkling ripples in the water of the Panlong River are all dazzling. This situation and this scene are comparable to the Confucius Temple of the Qinhuai River.

Of course, there are also a lot of strange things for sale in the night market.

But the fourth aunt went to the night market once and bought a comb made of the leg bones and finger bones of Mrs. Chen, which has to be said to be too much of a coincidence.

Mu Qingming pondered for a long time, thinking that this matter might not be as simple as what he had seen and heard, so he decided to dig deeper and said to the black cat: "I can help you, but you have to tell me why you want to save the fourth aunt?" ”。

"Back then, I was seriously injured by the evil man who took my demon pill, and then I fled, and when I was dying on the side of the road, it was the fourth aunt who saved me." The black cat's eyes flashed with gratitude, and Yoyo said, "After that, he took care of me with all his heart, and I was able to live to this day; No matter what, I have to save her life, and I must not let evil anger harm her life. ”。

This is by no means alarmist, ordinary people often associate with evil spirits and ghosts, and their bodies will only get weaker and weaker, and eventually they will die of illness.

"Okay." Mu Qingming, who had never intended to let go of this evil spirit from the beginning, turned his head a little heavier without thinking. Then he fell on the bed and fainted.

But after a second, he suddenly woke up, and after looking around and finding that the scenery was no longer blurry, he knew that the dream technique had been solved, and he really woke up this time.

Then I saw that there was one more person in the house, it was the demon fairy Gu Mo Han. However, Mu Qingming just glanced at Mo Han, and immediately had a nosebleed.

At this moment, Mo Han, who was wearing long black hair, was standing by the bed, wearing only a thin obscene coat, and a trace of snow was in full view of Mu Qingming.

That Mo Han didn't know that Mu Qingming had woken up, and was pinching the black cat's neck with his right hand and scolded fiercely: "The cat demon who has only been practicing for nine years is not small, and he dares to break into the Mu family at night, I think you are too long." ”。 Every time he spit out a word, a cold white mist erupted from his mouth, causing the temperature in the already cold room to plummet by a few points.

Mu Qingming, who hurriedly got up from the bed, hurriedly pulled the quilt and got out of bed, and after putting Mo Han on it, he said urgently: "Don't be rude, she is here to ask for help." ”。

Unexpectedly, Mu Qing's awake Mo Han was stunned, and he was so frightened that he dropped the black cat with his five fingers, and suddenly blushed, grabbed the corners of the quilt with both hands, and wrapped his snow-white body tightly with the quilt in a panic.

"I only wear such a little on a cold day, and I'm not afraid of being sick from the cold, how big a demon can I save a snack." Mu Qingming wiped his nosebleed with the back of his hand and muttered, leaned over to pick up the black cat that was lying on the ground and had been stunned by the fox fairy, turned sideways slightly to avoid Mo Han, and explained the ins and outs of the matter one by one.

From beginning to end, he caressed the black cat's neck hair absentmindedly, and he didn't dare to look at Mo Han, for fear that he would not be able to control it if he glanced at Mo Han.

"I see." After listening to him quietly, he sat down on the edge of the bed, and the vigilance between his eyebrows vanished.

"You have a good rest, I'll send the black cat back." Mu Qingming put down the black cat, and after hearing the words, he was slightly stunned, and then under the gaze with a faint look of complaint, he quickly got dressed and picked up the black cat and rushed out of the door.

When he walked outside the bedroom door, Mu Qingming, who was facing away from the house, suddenly paused, and said slowly: "It's too cold, don't go anywhere, sleep well in my house, and I'll go back after I send the cat back." ”。 In fact, he lied to the other party, his real purpose was to sneak into the Chen Mansion to find out the evil spirit, and he had to say that he would not come back tonight.

But as soon as these words came out, the complaint on Mo Han's face suddenly turned into a faint smile, and then he nodded heavily and then hummed.

After carrying the black cat out of the courtyard gate, walking on the street with only the night wind and darkness, Mu Qingming couldn't help but shudder. The black cat in his arms who thought Mo Han was his wife saw that there was no one around, so he looked up at Mu Qingming and slowly spoke, and spit out human words: "I'm sorry, Young Master Mu, I disturbed you and Mrs. Mu to rest." ”。

"She's not my wife." Mu Qingming smiled disappreciatively.

"Come on, you can see that her eyes are full of indescribable eyes, but the eyes that look at me are very bland." The black cat pursed its lips and blew on the whiskers that were running across its face.

"Really?" Mu Qing pretended to be stupid and asked, then smiled and continued to stride forward.

When I walked less than two or three hundred meters away from Chen's Mansion, I saw a lot of people gathered at the gate of Chen's Mansion, and it was noisy and harsh in the silence of the night.

Mu Qing was suspicious, but at the same time he quickened his pace and rushed forward, and when he got into the crowd, he saw that there were policemen standing in the open gate of Chen's Mansion, and there were two policemen guarding behind the door, preventing onlookers from entering.

Curious and suspicious, Mu Qingming turned his head to an onlooker around him and asked, "May I ask my brother, what's wrong with this Chen Mansion?" ”。

"This fourth aunt of the Chen Mansion died too tragically at home." The little brother clasped his hands around his chest and said a little proudly.

Why did the fourth aunt of the Chen Mansion die tragically? Was it an accident or a man-made? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
