Chapter 126: Wild Cats
Jumping into the pool and resurfacing again, I looked up and found that I had passed through the entrance.
The aquatic plants here are dense and fluorescent, and in the water, there are not all kinds of glowing fish swimming, which is very unusual.
In the distance, there is a tall white palace.
It's just that it's far away now, and I can't see the structure clearly, and not far away, there are a few figures, swimming towards the palace, looking at the costumes, it should be Su Xuanke and a few of them.
Some distance behind them, there were still some figures following behind, intermittently, it should be those water ghosts.
I threw the steel fork on it, then climbed out of the pool, only to find that the surrounding water and grass were full of white bones, mixed with human and animal heads.
After all, I was young, and I was a little scared to see so many heads.
Suddenly, I noticed that one of the heads had moved.
Is there any life to these things?
I carried the steel fork and leaned over cautiously, and the scene at this time was really the same as the juvenile leap earth described in the textbook, except that I was missing a collar.
I picked out the head with a steel fork, and now there were maggots underneath it, and I felt sick and numb, no wonder they chose to swim over the aquatic plants.
I didn't care about this, and was about to carry a steel fork and follow like a little fishman, but inadvertently, I found that the roots of some aquatic plants were actually painted with charms.
I used a steel fork to pick off one, put it in front of my eyes, and through the fluorescence around it, I found that the painting method was consistent with that of Lao Qingtan Town. Then these were also set up by Landlord Liu, and it was likely to deal with Daoist Liu Qing.
It suddenly occurred to me that the "Fu Seal Collection" recorded that the Fu Seal was first painted by Wu on the bark of a tree or something, so at the bottom of this water, as long as I painted the Fu Seal of the Louguan School on these aquatic plants, wouldn't it be a lot of use.
I tore off a large patch of water weeds, drew charms with my fingernails, wrapped them in stones, threw them into the pool, and then carried a steel fork to chase the water ghosts.
I drew a doppelganger on the water weed, and after throwing it into the pool, I recited the mantra silently, and I felt that the talisman was effective, and the feeling of the doppelganger was transmitted to the body.
My doppelganger surfaced again and found that it was still under the tulou, surrounded by a group of old and weak water ghosts, and my aunt was among them.
They were taken aback by me, and the aunt asked sharply, "Child, what are you doing when you don't go to be loyal to your master?" ”
I hurriedly disguised myself: "I'm not new, after I went in, they thought I was useless, and they were afraid that I would not be able to help, so they took my steel fork and told me to roll back." ”
The aunt sneered: "Also, you newcomers are all waste, or the old people can be relied on, and they have to be indebted to Steward Zhang back then, otherwise those people really went ashore and escaped." ”
I knew she was referring to the water ghosts who fled ashore during the fog.
I'm a little surprised that the team of water ghosts at that time, but the person in charge led the team, proves that he also wanted to leave here.
It's just that I didn't expect that now he is the loyal slave of Landlord Liu, which is really a great irony.
Aunt likes gossip, I might as well ask here, and by the way, listen to the story of Taoist Liu Qing back then.
I used my clone to say, "Auntie, these Taoist priests are so powerful just now, do you think the master can't beat these Taoist priests?" ”
My aunt glanced at me disdainfully and said, "You really don't know Taishan, how powerful Taoist Liu Qing was back then, isn't he still a defeated general, what are these Taoist priests." ”
Since I have started, I have to strike while the iron is hot, so I continued to ask: "What do you always say about that Liu Qing Daoist, I am in Qingtan Town, why haven't I heard of it?" ”
The surrounding water ghosts, those old and loyal, have long gone down to the pool to protect the master, and most of the people left behind are new.
The interest of the aunt's gossip was raised, and she sat directly on the edge of the pool and said: "Since you are all curious, I will also tell you that when you hear the wisdom and mana of the master, you will naturally believe that the master will one day take us to soar together." ”
Landlord Liu is a big local household, and he is the No. 1 person in Qingtan Town.
If you have more money, you will develop some special habits, and Landlord Liu's habit is to eat fish roe.
Every spring, when the fish spawn, the landlord Liu will send people to round up the fish in Qingtan Lake, disembowelment the fish, take its seeds, eat some of them in the season, and make most of them into caviar sauce for a year to eat. And the fish, all feed to the cats.
A large number of fish were hunted and killed, and the entire Qingtan Town was full of fishy smell, and countless wild cats were attracted to it.
And the strange thing is that every year is so crazy to hunt, but the fish in Qingtan Lake have not decreased, so for many years, suddenly one day, it was reported that the landlord Liu had a strange disease and had fish scales on his body.
At that time, I invited Langzhong, but I didn't see it well, and I used the home remedies of acacia flowers, but it didn't work.
Later, there was a passing merchant, who traveled east and west, and was well-informed, saying that the landlord may have fallen into some evil magic, and there happened to be a Taoist priest in Qingshan Town next door, so you can come and see it.
The merchant's words reached the ears of Landlord Liu, and he sent someone to Taoist Bay in Qingshan Town that night to invite Taoist Liu Qing.
But that night, Landlord Liu felt very uncomfortable in his body, as if something was about to grow in his body, and he screamed in pain.
And the aunt and the others were all woken up by the scream, because it was not a human voice, but like the voice of a cat barking at spring.
The concubine took care of her in the house, and the eldest wife sent a previous housekeeper surnamed Song to invite Langzhong.
Steward Song had just opened the door when he suddenly shouted.
The aunt was at the door at that time, and by the moonlight, she happened to see that there were many wild cats gathered around Steward Song, roaring, wagging their tails, and their eyes were full of green light.
Steward Song ran back while shouting, and at this time, suddenly from the eaves, several cats jumped down, pounced on Steward Song, and tore and bited.
Steward Song wanted to get rid of it, but those cats were bitten to death and couldn't get rid of it at all, and the cats behind also chased after him and pounced on him.
Soon, Steward Song became like a beehive, but it was full of cats of all colors, and the cats were biting and roaring at the same time, as if grabbing food.
Soon, Steward Song remained motionless on the ground, and blood flowed through the cats.
And a few people at the door, looking at everything, did not dare to help.
At this time, suddenly a cat turned its head, rushed to the door, meowed, and then licked the blood on its body.
The aunt was so frightened that she hurriedly closed the door, and at this time, there were also screams in the yard.
The aunt hurriedly returned to the yard, and appeared on the tile roof of the courtyard, full of cats standing with green light in their eyes, and from time to time cats jumped down from it and bit people.
Several nurseries were using sticks to drive them away, but those wild cats were not afraid of people at all.
At this time, the landlord Liu in the house made the sound of a cat calling spring again.
The wild cats on the roof, as if stimulated, jumped down from the eaves one after another, as if it was a cat rain.
At this time, there were already nurses crawling with cats, rolling on the ground in pain, but everyone couldn't protect themselves, and they hid in the surrounding rooms.
Slowly, the nursing home lying on the ground stopped moving, and the cats scattered, and then looked around, looking for the next target.
Through the window paper, the aunt saw several nursing homes on the ground, only white bones remained, and the contents were torn to the ground.
At this time, in the landlord's house, there was another cat meow.
The night owls determined the source of the sound and slowly made their way around the room.
The aunt and the landlord's eldest wife were hiding in the room on the side of the house, and the eldest wife pushed the person next to her and whispered, "Go and save the master." ”
But whoever dares to go out now will die.
At that time, Zhang Changgong, who was still weak (later Steward Zhang, who was still a long-term worker at that time) asked, "Who is next to the master?" ”
The eldest wife said: "It's that slut who is here, that slut can die, but the master can't die, he is dead, how can I live." He whimpered.
Zhang Changgong said softly: "I'll go." ”
Then he went around the room, and when he couldn't find a suitable weapon, he broke off the wooden stick from which the mosquito net hung along the edge of the bed.
The night cats hear the sound, and some of them are drawn to a room.
The eldest wife scolded him in a low voice, but Zhang Changgong didn't care, walked to the door, asked people to open the door, and rushed out yelling.
Zhang Changgong kicked away the wild cat blocking the road, ran to the door next door, and stood there.
At this moment, a large circle of wild cats surrounded him roared at him.
