Two days ago, I heard Yan Yanan mention the civet cat.

According to her, it was a black-backed golden-eyed cat, with a black and shiny body, bright pure gold eyes, and in addition to that, there was a special gold thread on the cat's belly.

In the absence of light, this strand of hair is ordinary black, but when it encounters light, it glows golden. Because the cat has a fledged glow on its belly that glows at night, the gold thread becomes very noticeable at night.

I asked Yan Yan where she saw the civet cat, and Yan Yanan said that she had not seen it, and the above content was all from the classics of the old family.

Speaking of which, I have been in the West Hall for a full eight months, and I have read all the classics more or less, but I have never seen any information related to the civet.

I also asked Yan Yanan if the classics related to the civet cat were locked in the east room by Yan Heng, and Yan Yanan also said no.

Looking at the few gold threads in my hand, my mind began to ponder these things again.

At this time, Yan Yanan asked me on the side: "Only Xiao Hei went to your bed just now, does it mean that it has already found the civet cat?" ”

I came back to my senses and looked at Xiao Hei again, who also heard what Yan Yanan said, and was shaking his head at me.

I couldn't help frowning: "You didn't find the civet cat?" ”

Blackie nodded.

If Xiao Hei didn't find the civet, where did these golden threads come from?

Thinking of this, I asked Da Hei again: "Da Hei, have you found the civet cat?" ”

Da Hei lay on the small bed and shook his head.

Yan Yanan asked again: "When you ran out to steal food last night, did you find anything abnormal?" ”

Daikoku turned his face to the wall, and nothing else happened.

I sighed helplessly: "I won't investigate the matter of you stealing food, just ask if you encountered anything unusual last night." ”

Da Hei slowly climbed out of bed, and went to the bedside table to get a notebook and cinnabar pen.

Yan Yanan immediately ran back to his bedroom and brought cinnabar ink.

I saw Da Hei write on a piece of paper: "Last night I heard a cat barking in the old alley. ”

I immediately asked him, "What kind of cat barks?" Didn't you hear a cat meow but didn't see a cat? ”

Daikoku first wrote: "The voice is very rough, and when I look back, the voice is gone, and I don't see the cat." ”

Yan Yanan looked at the words on the paper and kept frowning: "What is he writing, can you understand it?" ”

I said, "It's a ghost who said he heard a cat barking in the alley last night, but didn't see the cat." ”

When it was over, I asked Dahei again, "Are there any other anomalies?" ”

Daikoku wrote on the paper: "Yesterday, the peanuts in the noodle restaurant were fried a little too much. ”

As he wrote, he seemed to remember some very bad experience again, and his body trembled twice before he wrote the last three words: "That's all." ”

I clasped my hands together and said to myself, "That means that neither Xiao Hei nor Big Black have ever touched a civet cat, but how can cat hair appear on my bed?" ”

Yan Yanan suddenly asked me, "Did you have a dream last night?" ”

I nodded: "Yes, I've been having the same dream for a while now." I always dream of the sound of the water hitting the iron plate, and this sound will hover in my head, louder and closer, and then there will be a desert in front of me, and the dunes and clouds in the sky will move rapidly, and the whole earth will seem to collapse. ”

"It's this dream again," Yan Yanan pouted, "But this dream shouldn't have anything to do with the civet." ”

I raised an eyebrow at her, "Why did you suddenly ask me if I was dreaming?" ”

Yu Yanan thought for a while and said, "I heard the second master say that those who are targeted by the civet cat will dream of a waterhole with a ghostly light, and what else do you say, that waterhole is the entrance to the Netherworld." ”

I raised my eyelids slightly: "The entrance to the Netherworld?" Why haven't I heard you say that before? ”

Yan Yanan: "What is there to say about this kind of thing, anyway, you are not a person who is extremely evil, and the civet cat should not target you." Besides, the netherworld mansion mentioned by the second master has nothing to do with the Netherworld Treasure. ”

This yin is not the other yin.

In fact, I've always been curious, what is the difference between the Yin Cao Difu in the mouth of the second master and the Yin Cao Difu in the mouth of the old man. ”

Yan Yanan said: "I can't tell you this. Ah, I know what you're trying to ask. Let's put it this way, the Yin Cao you serve for does exist, although no one knows where it is, but the classics of the major sects have confirmed its existence. As for the other Yin Cao Prefecture, it is the Yin Cao in the traditional sense, which has ten halls of Yama and all kinds of ghosts and officials. ”

She is always like this, what she says is only understood by herself, but in the eyes of others, it is foggy.

Probably seeing that my face was still full of doubts, Yan Yanan added: "The netherworld where you are located is said to have been built by several masters in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and there are only ghosts and ghosts in it, and there is no king of Hades. In the traditional sense, the underworld is naturally formed in the creation of heaven and earth, and is part of the reincarnation of heaven and earth, and there are ten halls of Yama in it...... Actually, I don't know if there is a Lord Yama in the world, but the folk say that there is, so you should treat him as existing. ”

I scratched my temples a little irritably: "Can you make it clearer?" ”

Yan Yanan glanced at me angrily, but he still said: "The Yin Cao Difu mentioned by the folk is responsible for controlling all living beings, yin and yang reincarnation, and determining the cause and effect of good and evil in life, and the sins of merit and sin. As for the Yin Cao you serve, it is responsible for maintaining the balance between the yang and the world, and is responsible for expelling the fierce gods and evil ghosts who are stranded in the world, and also has the responsibility of maintaining the order of the industry. ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "In other words, this yin where I am is, regardless of reincarnation?" ”

Yan Yanan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's what it means." In fact, the last time you came back from the Northeast Lao Lin, the second master had said that he was old, and at that time, he was so old that he confused the two Yin Cao, so he thought that the ghost pawns like the big and small black were all sent by the Lord of Yama. ”

I looked into Yanan's eyes and said, "Since there is no reincarnation, why is there a book of life and death?" Didn't Yuan Tiangang tamper with the book of life and death at the beginning, so that he could ascend in advance of the third generation? And after he bought off the ghost, he infiltrated the palace of Hades and tampered with the book of life and death. Notice that I'm talking about, Yama, King, Temple. ”

As soon as I said this, Yan Yanan was also stunned, and after a long time, she asked me with wide eyes: "Yes, if the Yin Cao you are in doesn't care about reincarnation, why is there a book of life and death?" ”

For such a question, Yan Yanan can't explain it, and I can't explain it.

The two of us just look at me, I look at you, and no one spoke for a long time.

Later, it was Yu Yanan who came back to his senses first, turned his head and asked Xiao Hei: "In your netherworld mansion, is there really a book of life and death?" ”

Little Black shook his head.

I asked Xiao Hei, "Is there a Hades then?" ”

Hei still shook his head.

I found that Xiao Hei hesitated for a moment when he responded twice, so I asked him again: "I don't know or no, I shake my head if I don't know, and nod my head if I don't." ”

It took Hei a moment to digest what I said, and finally shook his head.

Yan Yanan: "You don't know if there is a book of life and death in the underworld, do you?" ”

Blackie nodded.

Yan Nan and I looked at each other again.

Isn't Xiao Hei a ghost? He has been living in the Netherworld, how can he not know anything!

I also asked where the big and small black yin was before, and their answer was the same as just now, "I don't know".

After a long time, Yan Yanan blurted out: "This is unreasonable." ”

I don't know if she's talking about the book of life and death or Xiao Hei.

I didn't bother to ask more, but sighed helplessly: "Since I got the Nether Treasure, there have been fewer and fewer things that make sense. ”

Yan Yanan nodded in agreement: "Indeed." ”

After that, we didn't discuss how many netherworlds there were in this world for the time being, and it wouldn't be fruitful anyway, so we both focused on the few hairs left by the civet.

The cat's hair is full of strong yin qi, and the yin qi on the body of the big and small black, these yin qi is also highly aggregated, and it cannot be sensed at all without physical contact, but it is different from the big and small black that the yin qi on the big and small black is cold, and the yin qi on the civet cat is very neutral and has no harm to the living creatures.

I thought that maybe the hair on the civet cat was the same as the old lady's yang line, which seemed to be soft, but in fact it was extremely tough, but I just gently pulled it with my hand, and the cat's hair broke.

And these cat hairs are also afraid of fire, I took out a lighter to try it, they were burned clean, and I didn't even know where the ashes had gone.

When he saw that I had burned cat hair, he began to complain to me constantly, saying that these hairs were the only clue to find the civet, and I burned them all.

But when she complained, I noticed that she was quietly relieved.

He didn't seem to want me to find the cat.

As soon as Yan Yanan finished complaining, there was a knock on the bedroom door, and then he heard Liu Huaishan talking outside: "If you don't have to, can you come out for a while?" ”

I opened the door a crack to make sure that Zhang Dayou was outside, and then I was relieved to open the crack and walked out quickly.

Li Huaishan saw that Yan Yanan was also in my bedroom, and his face instantly pulled: "What are you two doing inside, lonely men and widows." ”

This guy has a sick brain!

I gave him a blank look: "What a mess, what do you think about all day long, Yan Yanan is my cousin!" ”

Li Huaishan still didn't seem to be at ease, and turned his head to look at the crack in the door, and then turned around and said to me: "Zhang Dayou has decided to stay in Bohai Bay." I'm going to put him in Furniture City first. ”

"He decided to stay?" I glanced out of the porch, and then lowered my voice and asked Li Huaishan, "How did you persuade him?" ”

Li Huaishan immediately showed a meaningful smile on his face: "I told him that I have a few little brothers over there in the Furniture City, and I can't go back during this time, so I trouble him to go over and help me keep an eye on the field." Zhang Dayou is a person, he has always been looked down upon when he is so big, I asked him to be the eldest brother in the furniture city, of course he will not refuse me. After all, there are some things that others can't give him, but Zhang Jianbao and Liu Xiaohui can give them to him. ”

I was puzzled: "Zhang Jianbao and Liu Xiaohui can't even support themselves, what can they give Zhang Da?" ”

Li Huaishan smiled and spit out two words from his mouth: "Respect." ”

Today's second watch, I finally caught up.
