Chapter 4: The Black Cat Arrives
[Continuing from the book above, the last book said that Mu Qingming saw a black cat almost covered in ink in Chen's Mansion, which was undoubtedly a cat demon, but it was not the source of evil energy; When he left, he was reminded by Wu's mother not to have anything to do with the black cat. After arriving home, Mu Qingming found that the door of the house was empty, thinking that an enemy had come to the door, so he hurriedly dodged and entered the hospital, but saw that his father was coming and made a false alarm. Led out Mu Shanjun told his son that the Tao of Immortality had been revived, and the evil spirit in the Chen Mansion may be something used by women, so it was cold and depressed, Mu Qing wanted to visit the Chen Mansion at night, but he was drunk by Lao Tzu, and when he slept groggy, the black cat suddenly came to the door. 】
"Immortal Dao?" Mu Qingming gasped, turned his head to look at his father and said in surprise: "I remember that when I was young, this little cult was exterminated by your generation of dragon lockers." ”。
As a dragon locker, Mu Qingming naturally knew the Tao of Immortality, which was a cult that arose when he was young, and its followers were all people who practiced evil arts in order to achieve immortality. At that time, in addition to cultivating evil arts, the Immortal Dao also secretly brewed wine from the dead, or made minced meat from the living and salted them in a large vat, deceiving the followers that as long as they ate the human meat wine and human meat sauce they made, they could live forever.
As far as Mu Qingming knew, this was the reason why the Dao of Immortality was named after the word Changsheng.
Mu Qingming, as the leader of the junior in the clan, once followed the uncles in the clan to clean up the branch hall of this cult, and also saw the human meat wine and human meat sauce stored in the branch hall, which smelled extremely fragrant, but in fact, it can only be described with the eight words miserable and disgusting.
The hair floating in the vat, the flesh of the dead soaked in wine, and the eyeballs with blood vessels hanging in the meat sauce still make Mu Qingming unforgettable.
"Now it seems that the Immortal Dao has not been exterminated." Mu Shan's face was calm, he had experienced hundreds of years of demon slaying and guarding, and at this time, unless the sky was falling, it was difficult to be moved by anything that could move an old dragon locker like him.
"Last month, the second child found their branch in Chengdu." After slowly walking to the well in the courtyard with his son in his arms and standing still, Mu Shan said slowly: "Then the second elder interrogated the surviving cult disciples in the branch hall, and learned that the current Immortal Dao has grown after three hundred years of dormancy, and there are branches all over the country, and there is already a strict system. ”。
After Mo Han asked Mei Xiang to sit in the main room and eat candy, he also walked out to listen. Mu Shanshu didn't drive her away, and after looking around at his son and Mo Han, he continued: "The corpse chaser you killed in the formation a few days ago is also very likely to be the remnant of the Immortal Dao. ”。
"So you'd better teach Mei Xiang how to defend herself, and this kid's bones are amazing, Lingtai Qingxiu is a child with a high level of understanding, and being a dragon locker will also be a very good way out." Mu Shan finished his words and said no more.
"Mei Xiang should have a life of her own choice, which should not be planned by me." After thinking for a moment, Mu Qingming suddenly shook his head.
He knows very well how dangerous the dragon locker is, every year there are dragon lockers who die at the hands of evil demons, and it is even more common for wives to be separated and families to be destroyed; Didn't his own third brother and fourth sister be killed alive by evil people and demons in front of his eyes.
Mu Shan didn't say anything more.
It happened that Miao Jue also came back from grocery shopping, so Mo Han took Mei Xiang and Miao Jue to the kitchen to cook. Mu Qingming and his father returned to the main house, making tea and chatting.
Half an hour later, a table of delicious and sumptuous meals was placed in front of Mu Shan. There is a traditional mutton soup pot made of Lunan quiche sandwiched with Xuanwei ham, washed and sliced with fat mutton, and boiled with old oil (cooked clear oil) and poured over the mutton. There are also Yunnan beef ganba drizzled with thick and strong and dark meat, dry on the outside and soft on the inside, and yellow stewed chicken with fragrant, tender meat and crispy skin and soft bones. The rice is fried with green broad beans and bacon, and then cooked with rice to form a cloud leg bean stew.
Mo Han knew that big families were exquisite, so he used the ham four taels of the time-honored Hexianglou for dessert after cooking.
Although they are all some Yunnan snacks, they are all made with full color, flavor and mellow aroma, which makes Mu Shanjun's appetite move.
"The ancients Yundian people would eat, and they ate strange food, and they really lived up to their reputation when they saw it today." After tasting a few bites of the dish, Mu Shanshu couldn't help but give Mo Han a thumbs up, and said in amazement: "With your skills, when you enter the door of the Mu family, I have to let the cooks at home stand aside, compared to the dishes you make, they are simply pig food!" ”。
Mu Qingming, who had just taken a bite of rice, suddenly choked, coughed and beat his chest again and again, almost choking to death by the mouthful of rice.
"How old are you to choke on eating?" Mu Shan, who was asking knowingly, glanced at his son with disgust, and poured a glass of wine for Mu Qingming: "Today we also drink a lot of wine and eat meat." ”。
"I never drink." Mu Qingming waved his hand.
"Turtle son, are you going to pretend to Lao Tzu again? Who often pretended to be a little adult when he was a child and secretly went to the cellar at home to touch the wine and drink? Mu Shan, who took a sip of wine, shouted loudly: "When you are drunk, you will sleep in the wine cellar with the wine jar, and your mother and I will mobilize the whole clan to find you in Heizhugou for a day and a night." ”。
Mo Han pursed his lips and smiled when he heard this, and Miao Jue also smirked and said, "Yes, at that time, I thought that the young master was captured by the savages." ”。
"Dad, don't you think I don't know what you have in mind?" Mu Qingming was unimpressed by their laughter, looked directly at his father and said, "Don't you just want to get me drunk, and then what?" ”。 As he spoke, he glanced at Mo Han, and his cheeks suddenly flushed.
"Silly boy, think too much, Dad just hasn't seen you for a long time, and wants to have a drink with you to catch up. Besides, haven't you been delving into the evil spirit of the Chen Mansion? Want to know Daddy's guesses? After taking another sip of wine, Mu Shan asked with interest.
Before eating, he listened to his son talk about it again.
"Well, I can't figure this out for a day today. Obviously, the black cat is a cat demon, but the evil spirit does not come from its body, and I have not been able to find the source. As soon as it came to the matter of subduing demons and eliminating demons, Mu Qingming suddenly became excited.
"Then lift your glass and have a glass of heart." Mu Shan said with a disappreciative look.
Mu Qing, who was a little hesitant, pondered for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and raised the wine glass, raised his head and drank the wine inside, and then the roots of his ears began to redden.
"Come, Lao Tzu will fill it up for you." Mu Shanshu poured wine for his son, and said slowly: "You said that the evil spirit in the Chen Mansion is cold, and it makes you feel depressed and sad, right?" That means that this evil spirit comes from a woman's belongings, and it should be a woman who is already dead. You can't enter any boudoir in Chen's mansion, so naturally you can't find the root of the evil qi. ”。
"Are you saying that this evil qi may be something belonging to some female relatives in the Chen Mansion?" Mu Qingming asked again.
Mu Shanshu looked at Mu Qingming's wine glass and smiled without saying a word.
Seeing this, Mu Qingming suddenly knew that he had to drink another glass, so he shook his head a little helplessly and picked up the wine glass, and drank it all again.
Mo Han on the side looked anxious, hurriedly put some food for Mu Qingming, and said with concern: "Drink slowly, that evil qi can't run away." ”。
"But it can be harmful." Mu Qingming, who was a little anxious, returned with red eyes and categorically.
"And that woman is still wandering in the Chen Mansion to this day." Master Mu picked up Mei Xiang and said while feeding the little girl: "She must have been a resentful woman before she was born." ”。
"But I didn't notice the ghost?" Mu Qingming was even more impatient.
"I'll tell you why I didn't notice it." After saying this, Mu Shan smiled again and remained silent.
Mu Qingming snorted, picked up the wine jar and filled the cup, and said after drinking it all again: "I'm done." ”。 This time, not only were his ears red, but even his face was red.
"Because her soul is suppressed, someone has made an evil thing with her soul, so you can't feel the ghost, you can only sense the evil spirit. This is soul alchemy, silly boy, you don't know? Mu Shan laughed a few times, and then looked at his son and teased triumphantly: "It's really getting more and more regressive, and I haven't figured out such a simple question for a long time." ”。
"But...... This wine ...... Wine ......" Mu Qingming, who was already dazzled, stared at the wine glass with wide eyes, but after seeing the ghost, he said this with his tongue wide open, and fell asleep on the dining table.
"Brother Qingming? Brother Qingming? Mo Han, who was nervous at the time, shook Mu Qingming, who was already snoring loudly, but the other party was indifferent.
Mo Han was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and glared at Mu Shanshu desperately: "Uncle, what did you pour into the wine?" ”。
"I didn't get anything, it's because this kid doesn't drink for a long time, and the amount of alcohol is poor." Mu Shanjun ate a few bites of food, drank another sip of wine, and after sweeping Mu Qingming with a playful gaze, he said calmly to Miaojie: "Go and help the young master back to the bedroom, and boil some hot water for the young grandmother to bathe." ”。
"I know this stinky boy too well, and I often change hexagrams; Now that he's drunk, Mo Han, you can do whatever you want. You will go to the cave room tonight, and after the raw rice is cooked, this boy will not be able to change his hexagram. Mu Shanshu turned his head and smiled very proudly at Mo Han, which made Mo Han stunned for a while, there was such a quasi-family man who was very good at pit her son, and she didn't know whether to be grateful or happy.
"There are a lot of things at home, so I don't stay much." Mu Shanshu put down Mei Xiang, who was sitting on his lap, and said to Mo Han after getting up: "It's not that my stupid son doesn't love you, he is afraid that there are too many enemies of the demonic inheritance and the dragon lock people and dare not love him, don't be like him." The opportunity is in front of you, how to choose for yourself. ”。
The word "choose" just came out of his mouth, and Mu Shan, who had already used the secret technique of locking the dragon man, disappeared into the main hall.
"Grandpa is a fairy, grandpa is a fairy." Mei Xiang, who was stunned for a moment, tugged at Mo Han's cuffs and shouted happily.
Mo Han hesitated for a moment, and then said lightly to Miao Jue, who had already placed Mu Qingming and walked out of the bedroom: "Miao Jue go boil water, I want to bathe." ”......
It was just night, and after Mo Han coaxed Mei Xiang to sleep, he went to the empty room next to the kitchen. A bathtub filled with warm water and some beans for bathing have been set up in the house.
Looking at the hot and steaming room, Mo Han hesitated for a moment before turning around and closing the door, slowly removing his clothes and sitting in the bathtub.
Miao Jue also locked the courtyard door and took Shiyue back to his house. There was silence in the courtyard.
No one noticed that a cat with almost jet black body and only four snow-white paws jumped over the wall lightly, rushed to the main room, and headed towards Mu Qingming's bedroom.
Why did the black cat suddenly appear in the small courtyard of the Mu family? Why did you go straight to Mu Qingming's bedroom? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
