"Uncle, why are you so sure that goblin is the Nine Lives Cat Demon?" I asked.

Uncle An Hua smiled and said, "Didn't you say that one person dies every nine days?" ”

I nodded.

"The cultivation cycle of this nine-life cat demon is every nine days for a small week, and the goal of rapid cultivation is achieved by eating people!" Anhua said.

He continued: "You have to understand what I mean by telling you so much, I just don't want you to die in vain, after all, your father is only one of your children, and your family is without you, what is the use of your father earning so much money." ”

As he spoke, Uncle An Hua touched my head.

I said, "I understand what you mean, that cat demon is too powerful, we can't deal with it, if I deal with it now, I will definitely send the cat's mouth, but I can't tolerate this goblin wanton cannibalism." Although, this goblin didn't eat people in our village, but if this goblin eats people in our village, you won't care about it, not to mention that grandpa was sucked half of the yang energy by this goblin for the sake of the villagers in our village. ”

Uncle An Hua touched my head and said, "Child! You're still too young! My father was too young to do foolish things, you have to think about it, you still have your parents at home, you haven't married a daughter-in-law, you are gone, what should your parents do? Who will raise it in the future? ”

To be honest, I really didn't think about my mom and dad yet. Suppose I die, my parents are old, and they have nothing to support and nothing to support. In China's ethical society, I was saddled with the name of unfilial piety in advance.

"Uncle, is there really no way to cure this goblin?" I looked at Uncle An Hua with watery eyes and said.

Uncle An Hua said: "I can't find it, the child does his own thing, don't worry about other things!" ”

Now, I can't manage it even if I want to. There are some things that I can't say if I want to.

Night came quickly. The long night in the countryside was so silent, so hesitant.

In the middle of the night, I was asleep, but I heard a familiar voice. That's Master, yes, I heard it clearly, it was Master's old and weak voice.

"Xiao Dan, Xiao Dan ......"

Did I dream? Is this so, do I miss Master too much?

It doesn't seem like a dream, the sound is in my ears!

"Master." I shouted, with my eyes wide open.

"You're awake!"

I fixed my eyes and saw that it was really Master. He sat in front of my bed.

"Master, aren't you dead?"

"That's right! I'm dead, but today is my first seven! ”

I patted my head and forgot that today was my Master's first seventh. I forgot to burn paper for Master, are you going to come over this night to teach me the rhythm of a meal?

I hurriedly knelt down in front of the master and immediately kowtowed three times. "Master, I was wrong."

The master looked dazed, a little ununderstood. "What's wrong? What have you done to be sorry for me? ”

"Today, your first seven, I didn't burn paper for you."

Master was stunned for a moment, then laughed again. "I don't even have a grave, who are you going to burn paper?"

When I thought about it, yes!

Suddenly, I discovered that Master's eyes can have pupils. "Master, are your eyes well?"

"Yes, after I became a ghost, I don't know why I was able to see things." Master said again. "I'm here today to see you."

This is really my dear master! "Master, I'm in trouble!"

"What difficulty?"

"Several people died in the county!"

"Dead people, isn't it normal? What's so difficult about it? ”

"This dead man is not normal, he has been eaten into a dried corpse by goblins."

Master smiled and said, "It turns out that this is the case! ”

"You know?"

"Of course I know this, is it the Nine Lives Cat Demon that eats people?"

"Now that you know, tell me how to do this goblin!" I really can't wait to kill this goblin.

"If you want to talk about this goblin, do you have a relationship with your village?"

I said proudly: "This matter, I know, in the past, this nine-life cat demon was suppressed on the back mountain of our village, and then a yin and yang gentleman in our village heard from the city god that this goblin would harm our village, and he wanted to kill this goblin, but he didn't have enough ability to let this goblin run away." ”

"Is this how it is? How could I not see it like this in the City God Temple! Master said in surprise.

"When did you see this at the City God Temple?"

Master patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I haven't told you yet, Master, after I die!" Lord Chenghuang remembered that I had done countless good deeds in the yang world, and specially made me a petty official under his old man. ”

"Master, you have become an official at the City God! In the future, I will be able to find you. I said happily.

Master nodded.

"Then what kind of official are you doing there!"

"Onmyoji."

I asked in amazement, "What kind of official is the Yin and Yang Division?" ”

"It's equivalent to the secretary of the City God!"

"Isn't that the biggest except for Lord Chenghuang? There are a lot of ghosts under him! ”

"In the past, it can be said that it was not bad, but now it is encountering the reform of the underworld, and the original twenty-four divisions of the City God Temple will be changed to six divisions, that is, three-quarters of the ghosts will be removed. It is said that in the future, it will be changed, and the six divisions will be merged with the three divisions. Master said a little depressedly.

I have only heard that the government of the underworld is vigorously streamlining its institutions, but I have not heard of it that the underworld is going to carry out reforms.

"Why reform?" I asked.

Master said: "There are fewer and fewer people in the yang world, and there are fewer and fewer ghosts in the underworld, such a reform can streamline a large part of the funds, and these ghosts also like to be corrupt, and from time to time give you some public money to eat and drink, there are fewer ghosts, and there are more and more ghosts in the underworld, and the ghosts in the underworld are not easy to mix, so removing some ghosts can save a lot of expenses." ”

It turns out that this is what it looks like. The purpose is to maintain the rule of Lord Yama!

"After I did the Yin and Yang Division at the City God's place, I could see a lot of local event records there, and this Nine Lives Cat Demon was what I saw above." Master said.

"Then you have seen that the Nine Lives Cat Demon has harmed people, and you still don't care?" I asked, pouting.

The master said, "We are ghosts in the underworld, okay, the affairs of the yang world are managed by the people of the yang world, we only take care of the affairs of the underworld, and after this nine-life cat demon is dead, can we educate it well?" ”

According to the lifespan of the Nine Lives Cat Demon, I think Master should not be able to control it in this year of being a ghost. The nine lives of the cat demon have to die until the year of the monkey! What's more, people are still cultivating now, so why don't they want to jump into gods at once?
