The black cat shouted at us, grinning with anger and a rich expression on the cat's face.

"Xiao Hei, don't make trouble, these people are friends." When the cat's words fell, the black cat meowed twice at the catman, wagged its tail, and ran into the forest on the side.

There is a radius of fifty or sixty meters in the cave, and there are more than a dozen injured dogs and cats in it, several of them are very seriously injured, and the wounds have been bandaged and treated, and these cats and dogs are exactly what we injured last night.

In the corner is a simple clay stove with pots and pans, more than ten meters away, is a wooden bed, which is neatly spread out, and next to it is a dilapidated wooden cabinet with a lot of bits and pieces on it.

At the end of the cavern was a long curtain, and there was a muffled meow of cats.

It is clear that cat people have lived here for a long time, and cat people and these cats and dogs live together.

I asked, "These cats and dogs." You raised them all? ”

"Yes." The cat man nodded lightly and said, "I know what you're looking for, you're here for the cat kids." ”

The cat man's words fell, and he walked to the end of the cave and opened the curtain, and inside were three iron cages, and inside the cages. It's three cat kids!

Exactly the cat kid we're looking for!

With angry faces and bloodshot eyes, the cat child ran rampant through the cage and roared at us.

One of the children is the child born to Wang Lijuan, two boys and one girl.

Han Dongzhu exclaimed, "That kid ...... How did this kid end up here? Cat demon. Did you make your child like this? ”

Xiuya looked angry and crossed the Xuanyue stick, "Tell me quickly, what's going on with all this!" ”

There was no hostility on the cat man's face, his eyes were full of pain, and his gaze fell on Han Dongzhu, "Han Dongzhu, do you remember that three years ago, I gave a talisman to every household in the villagers?" ”

Han Dongzhu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, "You...... You...... Are you that monk? Chiba monk? ”

"Yes." The cat man said, "That's right, I'm Chiba in the town, three years ago, you found that there was something unusual about the cats and dogs in the village, and I came to help the villagers resolve these strange things." ”

The cat man in front of him turned out to be a monk three years ago, and the cat said: "Back then, I asked the villagers to dig down the ancestral hall, catch the cats and dogs and burn them to death, and it will be fine, who knows...... The next day, I was at the village chief's house, and when I fell asleep, my face grew a lot of hair and turned into a cat face. ”

Three years ago, Wang Qiang's daughter-in-law, Wang Mei, had an accident and brought back another dog from the mountains, the dog bit Wang Qiang to death, and the villagers killed the dog, and then there was a vision.

"At that time, the villagers said that I was a cat demon, and even a few Taoist priests wanted to arrest me, but I didn't dare to go back, so I could only hide in this deep mountain to survive, and those Taoist priests forced me to the deep mountains and wanted to kill me, but it was an old monk who rescued me."

"After the old monk saved me, he let me live here, the old monk is a good man, he said that I suffered this retribution, because I killed too much, I asked the villagers to burn those cats and dogs, so it became a cat face, the old monk let me live here to atone for my sins, after the villagers drove the cats and dogs out, those cats and dogs were homeless, let me keep these cats and dogs."

"These cats and dogs are very spiritual, and can even understand my words, sometimes they are here, sometimes in the village, before the women in the village gave birth to cat children, and it was also the cats and dogs here who brought the children back, these three cat children, wild and untamable, the killing is very heavy, these cats and dogs are afraid of hurting the villagers, so they brought them back."

Is that really the case?

Lingling said, "Cat people, so the woman in the village gave birth to a cat child, and it has nothing to do with you?" ”

"It has nothing to do with me, I've always lived here. Never went down the mountain in these three years. The cat man's gaze was calm, and he didn't seem to be lying.

I asked, "Before, we saw a group of cats worshipping at the ancestral hall, and a big black cat burning incense, and we met twice in a row, and every time we encountered this kind of thing, a villager gave birth to a child, and the two cat children in the cage were born to the villagers." ”

Xiuya said, "The third cat child is the task given to me by the Tao Society, let me destroy this cat child. ”

"If there's anything else you're hiding from us, let's make it clear now!"

The cat man looked at Xiuya seriously, with sincerity in his eyes, "What I said is true, I don't know anything about the cat child, it was the black cat who brought the cat child back, I saw that the cat child was pitiful, so I adopted it here, and I always knew about the things in the village, all the black cat told me." ”

"I've been here to atone for my sins for the past three years, and I'm also secretly investigating, and I also want to know why I turned into a cat face, and why these cats and dogs have spirituality, but unfortunately, in the past three years, nothing has been found."

Cat people are also looking into these things?

I was puzzled and said, "The black cat told you everything? The third cat child is not a matter of Chongyang Village, it is something that happened in the town, and how did the black cat know? How did I get my child back? ”

The cat man explained, "Since I became a cat face, I can communicate with these cats and dogs. I can understand their movements and meanings, which may be a kind of talent after my mutation, a talent for communicating with cats and dogs. ”

"The leading black cat, with great intelligence, seems to be ...... There is already human wisdom, and the three cat children are all found by black cats. ”

The cat man said again and again that these things had nothing to do with him.

Xiuya said: "Last night, these cats and dogs were abnormal, obviously controlled by evil magic. Since you used to be a monk, why do you have evil arts? ”

"It's not evil magic, I have practiced Buddhism for more than 30 years, and I have studied orthodox Buddhism, as well as some simple Taoist techniques, and I don't understand evil arts at all." The cat man explained, "These cats and dogs were adopted by me and did what I said. They are usually normal, but when they are angry, when they encounter an enemy, they will appear abnormal, and their eyes will turn red. ”

Han Dongzhu said, "Don't pretend to be a good person here, last night, you almost killed us!" ”

The cat man sighed helplessly. "You are the ones who have broken into my territory, and I don't really want to kill you, I just want to arrest you, and I will tell you everything so that you don't disturb my life."

"If the news about this place gets out, those damn Taoist priests will come and arrest me, and my life will not be guaranteed, these cats and dogs. They will all be burned alive, and I do this to protect myself. ”

There are some things that the cat man says can be believed, but I feel that he is hiding something from us, or that he cannot be fully trusted.

I asked, "Who was the person who saved you back then?" Why did he let you have these cats and dogs? Also, since you and the black cat can communicate. Don't know why you're psychic? Are you hiding something from us? ”

The cat man said, "Back then, after Eun Gong rescued me, he talked to me all night and asked me to raise these poor cats and dogs, and I never saw Eun Gong again, everything I said was the truth, last night." You've killed six dogs, don't worry about this anymore, I just want to live here in peace. ”

I asked, "What kind of man do you...... Is it a monk? Isn't it the king of medicine? ”

The cat man shook his head slightly, "It's not a monk, I don't know the name of Engong, Engong left after saving my life, and I don't know where Engong went." ”

Xiuya said: "Cat man, whether your words are true or false. You have changed, these cats and dogs are all mutated, but there is no demonic spirit, these things are not so simple, the Taoist Society has filed a case for me to deal with this matter, there must be a result. ”

"You come with me, and we'll do a thorough examination of your body to find out the cause of the mutation. It's possible...... It can restore your previous appearance. ”

The cat man's face turned cold, "I've already told you everything, why do you still want to meddle in this matter?" If I go with you, you're going to kill me and all the cats and dogs here! ”

The cat man's face was full of hatred, "Do you know how those mages dealt with me three years ago? Not only did they kill me, but they also killed my elderly father, grabbed my family, and went into the mountains to blackmail me! ”

"You so-called mages, you can't do anything! Why should I believe you! ”

Xiuya said: "You used to be a monk, a person who cultivates Buddhism, and you are not a bad person, our Taoist society naturally has its own rules for handling things, and it will definitely not be like other mages, as long as you have not harmed others." Naturally, we won't deal with you, I'm just trying to find out the truth. ”

"If you're innocent, I'll send you back."

"Haha......" the cat man suddenly laughed, "The people of the Taoist Society are ruthless, and once the forbidden demon is recorded, how can I believe you?" ”

"Since you want to check, check it yourself, I won't go with you. You'll never find the answer, haha......"

The Xuanyue stick in Xiuya's hand pointed at the cat man, "Since that's the case, I can only forcibly take you away." ”

Xiuya walked over to the cat man step by step, the cat man stood in place and sneered, Xiuya picked up the stick and smashed it on the cat man's head.

Bang!

The cat man's head was bleeding profusely, and he stood there without moving, not dodging. Then he fell to the ground.

What's the situation?

Xiuya stepped forward to check, and the cat man had no breath and was dead!

We surrounded the corpse of the cat man, extremely puzzled, and Xiuya was also very puzzled, "Why don't cat people hide?" The force I used just now was not enough to kill the cat man. ”

"Look, look......" suddenly. Han Dongzhu's extremely frightened voice came from behind.

The wounded cats and dogs in the cave all fell to the ground, motionless, and the cats and children in the three boxes were curled up in their cages.

We were shocked and hurried over to check, and all the injured cats and dogs were dead, and the three cat children were also dead!

We had been talking to the cat people, and the injured cats and dogs around us were moaning, and the three cat children were making a lot of noise in the cage.

But after the cat man died, the scene was quiet all of a sudden, and all the cats, dogs, and cats and children died.

The death was inexplicable, as if all cats and dogs died at the same time in an instant.

Xiuya examines the bodies, and these dead cats and dogs have nothing unusual except for the wounds we hit last night.

How do you explain all this? Xiuya is also confused, it's too weird!

Since cat people want to die, these cats and dogs are going to die, why do they have to tell us so many things?

We opened the cage where the three cat children were kept, and took out the corpses of the cat children, and Xiuya began to examine them in detail, and Han Dongzhu was too frightened to approach.

The child's body is the same as that of a normal baby, and one boy is larger than the other two. It is a cat child born in the town half a month ago, the head is a cat head, there is more hair on the face, the hair is soft, but there is not a single hair on the body, the skin is white and tender, there are many scars and scarred scars on the hands and feet, and there are also traces of scratching by some leaves and grass on the body.

Xiuya is sure. The three children are not demons, they were still alive just now, how could they die suddenly?

In what way did you die?

The four of us were puzzled.

I remembered the previous case in Yang Village, those grooms died inexplicably, and I couldn't find any traces, it was the work of demons, but now, these mutated cats and dogs are not demons.

The body of the cat person is middle-aged, and the skin under the clothes is the same as that of a normal human, with hair starting from the base of the neck, and the whole head is a cat.

"Let's go outside and have a look." ”

We rushed out of the cave, and the cats and dogs by the lake outside, and the cats and dogs in the forest, all disappeared, and we couldn't see the cats and dogs moving outside all the time.

Xiuya said, "Search around again and find the black cat." ”

We searched separately, but we still didn't see half of the cats and dogs, there was only one possibility, all the cats and dogs outside left.

"There are footprints over here!" Lingling's voice could be heard in the distance.
