When Master and I were still about ten meters away from the entrance of the cave, a cloudy wind burst out in the cave, and I first heard the wind roaring in the cave, and then all the dead grass around me was stirred up by the gust of wind.

The smell of the earth and the smell of rot on the grass were mixed together, not particularly pungent, but it gave people a very stuffy feeling, as if something was pressing on the chest, and it became difficult to breathe.

At this time, the master raised his arm and grabbed it in the air, obviously he didn't catch anything, but I felt that something was grabbed from Pengfei's grass barrier, and the next moment, the yin wind that was still whining just now suddenly stopped.

The dead grass fell to the ground, and the dull breath in the air disappeared in an instant.

I heard the master sigh helplessly: "There are three hundred years of Taoism, but I am burdened by resentment, it's a pity." ”

"Meow—"

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrible cat meow came from the entrance of the cave.

The sound reached my ears and pierced my eardrums like an ice needle, causing me to shiver unconsciously through my chest.

"Be calm, settle down!"

Master's voice sounded like a loud bell, and the chill that pressed into my heart instantly dissipated, and the passages in the "Plain Book" slowly appeared in my mind at the same time.

I don't know what meditation is, but at that moment, I can clearly feel that the whole person is completely quiet, since I was a child, I have never experienced such peace, as if the whole world has entered a state of complete stillness with me.

Before I could feel the peace, a strong wind rushed out of the mouth of the cave, and with it rushed out, there were also big handfuls of cat hair that rushed over like wind and sand.

In the past, I would not have been able to see what the fast-moving things were, but now I could clearly see the marks of cat hair as it fluttered in the air.

Master took a deep breath, then let the breath burst through his lips and blew out the flame on the candle with a single burst of energy.

The flames were extinguished, but the fluttering cat hair caught fire out of thin air.

In just one moment, the sparks bloomed in the air, and the next moment, the firelight was hidden, and the flying cat hair had turned into ashes, and it was scattered without a trace with the mountain breeze in this cold winter.

Just when the spark flickered, the master reached out again, shook his wrist, clasped his five fingers, and then pulled his arm back, and saw the afterimage at the entrance of the cave flash, and a huge tanuki flew out with the master's movements.

The cat's fur was blown up, and there was no reflection of the moon in its eye sockets, only a deep black.

I wondered how this tanuki was translucent, and I could see the dirt hole behind it through its body.

When it was still three or five meters away from the master, it suddenly opened its claws in mid-air, but before it could make any other movements, the master pressed his palm downward, and then it was like a thousand great forces pressed on the tanuki, causing it to instantly stop flying and fall heavily to the ground.

It's just that I feel that it "heavy" landed, but when it landed, it didn't make a sound, and even the dead grass under it was not bent.

After the tanuki landed, he still supported himself hard, and it seemed that he wanted to stand up, but the master did not give him this opportunity.

I don't know when the master took out the spirit rune, but as soon as he sent his palm forward, a talisman rolled into a small scroll came out of his hand and galloped towards the spirit cat.

On the way, there was a soft "snap" sound on the rune scroll, and it stretched out on its own, and then it reduced its momentum and fluttered and landed on the tanuki.

A gentle piece of rune paper, for the tanuki, is like a mountain, its body that has just been propped up, once again pressed to the ground.

I could feel an invisible force slowly pouring into the tanuki's body, and as time went on, it was getting weaker and weaker, but its form was becoming more and more transparent.

The master sighed again: "I originally wanted to temper you, but you have made a big mistake, and I can only break you up." If there is an afterlife, then slowly pay for the sins of this life. ”

The tanuki struggled with the last bit of strength, raised his head and stared at my master's face: "It was my miscalculation, I didn't expect that in this yang world, there is such a powerful character as you." ”

Its hoarse voice reminded me of that emaciated young man.

Master shook his head and said, "If you haven't seen a mountain, do you think there are only mountains in the world?" Alas, you're just a frog at the bottom of a well. ”

When the tanuki looked up, I stared into its eyes, and I felt a deep sadness and resentment in its empty eyes, and at that moment I suddenly realized that it was actually the one who appeared at the door of the recycling bin yesterday.

Master patted me lightly on the back: "Go ahead, send it on one last ride, this is your merit." ”

I let go of the corner of Master's coat and slowly walked over to the tanuki, which was still holding its head up, but because it had no pupils, I didn't know if its eyes had fallen on me.

When I saw it fly out of the dirt hole before, to be honest, I was scared, but I don't know why, but now when I look at it, I become very sad.

As sad as it is.

Remembering that Master would always rub my head when I was sad or scared, it would calm my heart, and I followed Master's example by reaching out a hand and caressing its head.

There was only a chill in my hand, but it didn't have the fluffy touch I had imagined, but it could feel the temperature on my hand, and I knew it must be able to feel it.

At this moment, images were flashing through my mind that were originally hidden in its memory, and it seemed to be trying to tell me what had happened to it in this way.

It was originally a wild cat in the mountains and forests, and it happened to have a chance to open its mind, and after three hundred years of hard work day and night, it finally got a demon body, but it was accidentally injured by a monk for stealing incense, and later fled to this town, and met the old head of the scrap recycling station.

When it was in trouble, it was the old man who gave it a bite to eat, let it survive, and also made a vacant space in the house for it to slowly recuperate, it saw the old man living alone with his grandson, life was very difficult, and often tried to help each other, in those years, people and demons lived in the same room, but it was also warm and peaceful.

Three years ago, it found a male cat with good spiritual roots in the town, and he was going to double cultivate, but he didn't expect to be pregnant with a kitten, and in the same year, Lao Zhangtou suffered from a serious eye disease.

Originally, it also thought that the descendants of Lao Zhangtou were not filial, and now he suffered from eye diseases, and after his children were born, he would recognize Lao Zhangtou as his ancestor, and carefully support him in the future, until he returned to the West, and after a hundred years, someone could give him a stick of incense on every death day.

Unexpectedly, on the day of its birth, Lao Zhangtou asked for two exorcism talismans from a fake Taoist priest surnamed Zhou, and burned the talisman to ashes and mixed it into the bowl where it drank water.

With its Taoism, it was easy to break the spiritual rhyme on the talisman, but that day it was in labor, after drinking the talisman water, the spiritual rhyme of the exorcism talisman spread all over the body along the meridians, where could it still be broken, and finally exhausted all the strength of the body, and finally gave birth to five cat cubs, but he died of dystocia.

After its death, it was worried about its children and refused to be reincarnated early, but when it was in its hometown, it found a few incomplete corpses in the corner of the yard, and it was angry that it got on the body of Lao Zhangtou, and only after questioning did he know that Lao Zhangtou had gouged up the eyes of the cat cubs alive and made them into eye medicine, and even the white cat that had been double-cultivated with it was also skinned and taken out of the bones and made into medicine.

The surname Zhou always carried a magic weapon on his body, and he did not dare to approach, so he could only sprinkle his grievances on Lao Zhangtou and his grandson, which led to the tragic death of Lao Zhangtou later, and his grandson was also possessed, and he was tortured day and night until he was hollowed out.
