Chapter 16: The Striped Cat
took Shen Jie's car and drove down the mountain.
Along the way, Su Xiaoxiao sat in the co-pilot, without saying a word, and the atmosphere was very delicate.
When you come to the bottom of the mountain, there is a forest.
Xingang City's Xishan District has been under development in recent years, and this area is one of the few natural places that has not been transformed.
The air is filled with a fragrance far away from human civilization, which is particularly refreshing.
Su Xiao thought carefully, no wonder those out-of-the-world masters in costume dramas always like to retreat to the mountains and forests, this place is really comfortable.
Even the air seems to smell sweet.
was intoxicated by such an environment, the car suddenly stopped very roughly, and Su Xiaoxiao, who had not made any preparation, leaned forward suddenly, and was strangled by the seat belt.
Suddenly braking suddenly, Su Xiaoxiao thought that she had encountered an emergency, and looked ahead with a panicked probe, "Is there any animal that suddenly came out?" I guess I didn't hit it, did I? ”
"Get out of the car." Shen Jie didn't look at her, his side face was full of impatience, and he just threw out these two cold words.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't react for a while, this place is not in front of the village and there is no store in the back, it is just a forest path, how can the water tank be here?
"I told you to get out of the car." He said in an even more impatient tone.
Su Xiaoxiao looked around and said strangely, "Is the water tank here?" ”
Shen Jie pointed forward, "Keep walking, find someone to ask, and you can find it." I still have a lot of work to do, and I don't want to waste time with people like you. ”
The Buddha can only endure three times, not to mention that this guy doesn't know how many times.
As soon as we met today, I was scolded four times in a row, even if he saved him and offset it once, it was already the third time.
Su Xiaoxiao let out a long sigh, as if she had let go of something, and then she turned sideways, reached out and put her hand on his backrest, looking at him like a little sister.
What she puts down is disguise, and what she picks up is real.
"Boy, I don't know where I offended you, but I'm not easy to bully, if you have an opinion about me, you can say it, I've seen scenes that you can't see in your life, so don't want to play cool with me!"
This series was like a series of cannons, and Shen Jie was really confused by her all of a sudden.
Shouldn't this petite and cute girl in front of her be a delicate and weak type? Why did she suddenly become a hot girl?
But after this impassioned statement, in exchange for his rude "get out".
Staring at the back of the car full of resentment, she stomped her feet angrily in front of Su Xiaoxiao.
This bastard! If it weren't for the explicit prohibition that Onmyoji can't harm mortals, I would have ordered your car a long time ago!
was living a tyrannical addiction to Shen Jie in his mind, when suddenly laughter came from the side.
This laughter was like a lively child, Su Xiaoxiao thought that her childish behavior was seen by the child, her face turned red, and she immediately picked up her disguise again, and became a quiet and calm dignified lady.
But when she followed the sound, she saw a white cat squatting in the grass not far away.
This cat looks very ordinary, but its coat color is very strange, and the white fluff actually has black stripes on it, and it looks like a zebra.
But in the case of this feline, it should be more like a white tiger.
This laughter, is it coming from?
Su Xiaoxiao walked over curiously, but as she approached, the laughter gradually stopped, until finally, the brindled cat looked at her in a daze, one person and one cat staring at each other.
The atmosphere was awkward for a while, the spotted cat moved to the side, and Su Xiaoxiao's eyes followed it.
It took a few more steps in the opposite direction, her gaze still following.
"Can you see me?" The brindled cat finally spoke.
And Su Xiaoxiao waited for it to speak, reached out and lifted it, leaned in front of his face, with a gloomy face, and said with bad intentions, "You're a monster, right?" ”
The brindled cat immediately fluttered on all fours, struggling to say, "I'm not!" I'm just a cat! ”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled darkly, "Cats can't speak." ”
It was stunned for a moment, then raised its little head and thought, "My mother is a parrot, what's so strange?" ”
Is a cat's mother a parrot? Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile and directly exposed its clumsy lie, "The first thing you said revealed that you were a monster!" What, your mom is a parrot and your dad is a chameleon? Will you still be invisible? ”
As she spoke, she demonstratively carried it and shook it, its eyes were dizzy, and she opened her mouth to scold, "Stinky Onmyoji!" Put this king down, or I'll bite you to death!" After scolding, he didn't forget to make a symbolic "whoosh" roar.
Su Xiaoxiao laughed out loud, and swayed it twice, "I think you are just a 'cat spirit', and the most you can do when you cultivate to the back is to become a 'cat again', and if you want to become a tiger, you also think too much." ”
It snorted very arrogantly, turned its head, and had a posture of "I don't listen".
The cat spirits recorded in "Hundred Ghosts Night Walk" are actually ghosts after the death of cats, and the "dead spirits" turned into human ghosts are the same kind of ghosts, and the reasons for their formation are the same, either obsession or resentment. At first, humans and animals are harmless, and it is easy to cultivate into a monster after a long time, that is, "cat again".
Youkai is a type of ghost, specifically referring to a ghost cultivated by the ghost of an animal.
Because animals have no feelings, most of them turn into monsters after death, and some even become pets of the Onmyoji.
This brindled cat already understands human language, and it seems that he has some cultivation.
This kind of person must have been wandering around here for some years, and he may even be older than Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed it and said with a smile, "You're familiar with this neighborhood, right?" Take the way? ”
The brindled cat tilted its head very arrogantly, "Don't." ”
Su Xiaoxiao tempted, "I'll give you something delicious." ”
The brindled cat refused, "Don't." ”
Su Xiaoxiao added, "I can let you be reincarnated and get out of the sea of suffering." ”
The brindled cat still refused, "Don't! ”
Su Xiaoxiao was furious, "Then I'll beat you to pieces!" ”
The brindle cat replied in seconds, "Where are you going?" ”
You have gone back and forth for a few rounds, but I didn't expect that the lure is still better than coercion, Su Xiaoxin said that next time he should do it directly, and then talk about cooperation after being convinced.
After Su Xiaoxiao succeeded, he smiled smugly and said, "Take me to find the water tank near here, there are few houses here, and there shouldn't be many water tanks, right?" ”
The spotted cat was carried in her hand, and said obediently, "Not much, not much, there is a community around here, you let me down, and I will take you there." ”
Su Xiaoxiao put it down according to his words, and as soon as it hit the ground, it disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Hehe, stinky onmyoji, you humans can keep up with my speed!"
As soon as he ran out twenty meters triumphantly, his neck suddenly tightened, his body stopped instantly, and he fell to the ground.
The brindled cat got up in a daze, but found that a rope made of a small paper crane was actually tied around his neck, and the other end was tied to Su Xiaoxiao's wrist along the paper crane.
Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand, and it was immediately pulled back to her feet in embarrassment, and this time it was her turn to say triumphantly, "Hehe, stinky monster, can you break free of my paper crane!" ”
The brindled cat shook its head in disbelief, "Impossible! How can you cast spells so fast! ”
Su Xiaoxiao stretched out an index finger and swayed from side to side with the sound of "tsk" in his mouth, with a look of pride like a god, "How could I easily believe you monsters, I already put chains on you when I put you down!" ”
The brindled cat scratched his head angrily, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu had been traveling for so long, and it was the first time he was planted in the hands of the Onmyoji!
