The fortune teller fell to the ground, and his whole body was scorched black.

His body twitched, shrinking smaller and smaller, until he finally shrunk into his charred robe, no longer moving.

The crowd panicked, and the proprietor was also at a loss. He scolded the family and told them to come forward and check it out.

The family members blamed each other, and finally one of the family members was pushed out, and tremblingly stepped forward to pick up his clothes.

It was a charred black cat, half a man's size. Nine tails drooped behind him, and when the wind blew, eight of them scattered into ashes.

The procession to move the graves exploded, and many people turned around and ran.

The land that helped to stabilize the rest of the people, and asked people to hurry up and invite the famous Mr. Yin and Yang nearby.

Mr. Yin and Yang arrived, looked at it and said:

"This is a nine-life cat demon."

The owner was a little confused and said, "Nine lives? Why did you chop to death in one fell swoop? ”

Mr. Yin Yang said: "If it is an ordinary death calamity, of course it can be blocked nine times." But the thunder of heaven is killing you, and no amount of cultivation will work. ”

The six gods of the owner have no master, please ask Mr. Yin Yang to help make the decision.

Mr. Yin Yang didn't take this business alive or dead, no matter how much money the owner had, he would not either.

In desperation, the owner sang a black face and threatened Mr. Yin and Yang. Mr. Yin Yang had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Domestic livestock are not the same as wild animals. The creatures raised by animals are destined to become blood food in the mouths of others. Wild creatures have the freedom of heaven and earth, and your family has hunted too much and sinned too much. The cat demon came to break your family's feng shui, it is a curse, and whoever breaks this matter will bear this curse. As for the cat demon being struck by lightning, it must be because it is not a good type, it may harm a lot of people, and it has nothing to do with breaking your family's feng shui. ”

When the proprietor heard this, he was stunned.

He was silent for a long time, and had to ask Mr. Yin Yang to show him a clear way, and he was willing to spend as much as he wanted.

Mr. Yin Yang was coerced and enticed, so he had no choice but to suggest that the owner stop moving the grave and re-bury it in the same place. At the same time, in the future, kill less wild animals and do more good deeds to atone for sins.

The owner thanked him for his kindness, sent Mr. Yin Yang away, and began to take care of things.

Mrs. Mao got the news and sat down on the bed.

She didn't know what to do next.

With a big cat that lives and dies with him, I don't know what the future should be.

Mrs. Mao had no choice but to continue to be her old lady.

Fortunately, it's not that hard to pretend to be an old lady. Some mistakes, people just think that her body is getting worse and worse, and her brain is getting more and more confused.

After some time like this, Mrs. Mao got used to this kind of life.

In the name of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, Mrs. Mao began to feed the stray cats around her. With the matter of the cat demon's curse, the owner also spared no effort in this matter.

All was fine.

On this day, the wild cats surrounded Mrs. Mao and gossiped about it. When the servants saw it, they thought that Mrs. Mao was confused again.

Everyone chatted about the gossip of the demon family in the city, and they were full of interest.

A wild cat mentions that a new tailor shop has opened in the city, and the shopkeeper doesn't seem to be human. But there are no other goblins who are familiar with him, and it is not known what kind of creature he is.

Mrs. Mao's eyes lit up when she heard this. She touched her skin, thoughtful.

Mrs. Mao was surrounded by servants and went out into the street.

The big cat followed her, not leaving an inch.

The owner of the tailor shop was a thin middle-aged man, and when he saw Mrs. Mao coming, he greeted her warmly.

The two looked at each other, laughing separately without saying a word.

Mrs. Mao opened the maid and sat down with the owner of the tailor shop to talk.

Mrs. Mao revealed her identity. The tailor shop owner listened and nodded suddenly.

The matter of the Nine Lives Cat Demon spread all over the city, and he naturally heard about it.

Mrs. Mao directly identified herself, and also let the tailor shop owner know that she must have something to ask for.

The owner of the tailor shop was very gentle and kind, and he directly told Mrs. Mao about his original identity to show his sincerity in helping him.

It turned out to be a deer spirit who had been practicing for more than 200 years. Traveled in the world and learned to be a good tailor.

Each of them said his original body, and there was no cover-up.

Mrs. Mao asked directly: "Sir, do you know about taking away clothes?" ”

The tailor shop owner nodded, "Of course." ”

Mrs. Mao told the tailor shop owner what she had done.

The owner of the tailor shop was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Taking away clothes, as the name suggests, is clothes that take away people's bodies. Many beasts lack cultivation and envy the lives of mortals, so this technique came into being. But the sin of taking away the shell of a man is too heavy, and many of those who use it will be punished by heaven. So some people improved the method, weakened the power of sewing and sewing, and only absorbed part of the essence blood and longevity, in exchange for a skin. Originally, the clothes were only for homemade use. However, there are too many beasts and spirits who want to experience human life, so some people buy and sell this method and practice it. ”

Mrs. Mao was puzzled: "What kind of cultivation method?" ”

The owner of the tailor shop said: "In order to satisfy some selfish desires, mortals will sacrifice their longevity and essence blood in exchange. The trader pulls the thread in the middle, and asks the beast spirits who have the power but cannot turn into human form to fulfill their wishes, and then make clothes for them. Between the two transactions, the buyer and seller, as the tooth, naturally get the cultivation. ”

Mrs. Mao listened to it and suddenly realized.

The owner of the tailor shop looked at the big cat and said to the old lady Mao: "Although this cat with the same fate is a bit of a burden to you, you have always gained a human body." Don't you want to take off this outfit and become a cat again? ”

Mrs. Mao pondered for a while and said, "Don't hide it, I'm used to being a man now." But this cat is always a hidden danger, I have the heart to solve this spell, and then cultivate the human form, and ask Mr. for help. ”

The tailor shop owner thought for a moment, as if hesitating about something.

Finally, he spoke: "I can't hide it, I advise you to continue to be a good person like this." ”

"Why is that?"

"Do you know why you've lived so long?"

Mrs. Mao shook her head.

The owner of the tailor shop said: "You are a body that swallows life, as the name suggests, you will eat the remaining life of your master." So as long as someone is your master, he will live for a short time, and the rest of their life will be passed on to you. ”

Mrs. Mao was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and her mouth opened and closed tremblingly.

"Although swallowing longevity is a talent, it is also a murderous evil. The longer you live, the heavier the doom in the future. Now that you can have such an adventure and become a human body, it is better to go down like this. ”

"But this cat ......"

"Life and death are predestined, if you do many evils, even if this cat is safe, your body will surely die; You do more good deeds and practice well, even if there are swords, mountains and fires, this cat may not have the slightest casualties. Though you are two bodies, you are one life. Practicing well and not having more delusions is the foundation of blessings. ”

Mrs. Mao listened, was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

But in fact, Mrs. Mao did not give up.

She thought for a moment, then made up her mind, and said:

"But now that I have become a human body, I have lost the physique to swallow life, and I am afraid that my life will not be long. I also hope that Mr. will teach me how to make clothes and let me practice to prolong my life. ”

The owner of the tailor shop was quite kind, and did not think deeply, and readily agreed to Mrs. Mao's request.
