Chapter 30: Cat Face
Jiang Pingchuan flipped over the courtyard of the Zhou family, holding the black bead in his hand, feeling the breath that was wandering in his hand and was rapidly draining, and kept running.
The silver-white leather boots stepped on the ground silently, not disturbing the rippling raindrops on the ground in the slightest, Jiang Pingchuan knew that this was the person who set up the formation, sensing that he had restrained the ghost puppet he had sent.
Forcibly destroying the ghost puppet on the compass that controls the formation, this kind of magic is an extremely evil witchcraft, and it is also the most sensitive spell of the Maoshan monks.
The darkness stretched all the way into the distance, and gradually behind Jiang Pingchuan there was no light in sight, and the rain fell straight down on the ground layer by layer with a sense of rhythm falling from the sky.
Jiang Pingchuan felt like he had entered a strange swampy area, his boots beginning to get soaked with the rain, and the soles of his feet were stained with jet-black mud and dripping onto his robes.
Jiang Pingchuan felt a sudden sharp pain in the soles of his feet, something in his chest was shaking violently, Jiang Pingchuan staggered and stabilized his body and touched his chest.
It was the jade pendant, the jade pendant that the old man gave him seemed to sense some special existence and kept shaking, Jiang Pingchuan held the jade pendant and stopped his steps and looked at the dark surroundings.
There is no yin wind and no coldness here, there is just endless wilderness, Jiang Pingchuan spread out his other hand, and the black beads in his hand have disappeared.
"Chirp"
A faint sound penetrated the sound of the rain and reached Jiang Pingchuan's ears, Jiang Pingchuan looked at the jade card that had regained his calm, pulled the corner of his clothes, and put away the jade card.
Before putting the jade card back, Jiang Pingchuan's movements in his hand suddenly stopped, the clothes on his chest were actually soaked, and this robe had never been contaminated by things from the outside world.
Now it was covered in mud, and Jiang Pingchuan felt that there were many things in his place that violated his perception of Maoshan Road.
Jiang Pingchuan quietly listened to the sound in his ears, he couldn't hear the sound of rain, the sound of chirping occupied his ears, Jiang Pingchuan slowly walked towards the source of the sound.
Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder, Jiang Pingchuan turned to look at the person wearing a black robe behind him, and the old man was playing with a round thing in his crumpled hands.
Jiang Pingchuan fixed his eyes and saw that it was the head of a black-brown civet cat, his eyes were still shining faintly, obviously he had just died, and what made Jiang Pingchuan frown was that the old lady in front of him left a bloody handprint on his shoulder very casually.
"What are the young people doing here so late, no one has appeared here for a long time, this is unreasonable, unreasonable" The old man in the cloak with the hat spoke, the voice belonged to an old lady who seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of time, Jiang Pingchuan couldn't feel the slightest evil aura on the other party's body, so he looked at the old man in front of him suspiciously, and in the dark environment, he couldn't see the old man's face shrunk under the hat at all.
"Isn't it even more unreasonable for Grandma to be so casually paying attention to me so late in a cloak and hat," Jiang Pingchuan took a step back, but found that it was difficult for him to move his steps, as if he had been frozen.
"The old woman can't remember how long she has been wandering here, the last time I saw a living person, I didn't eat human flesh" The old lady snorted hoarsely, as if she was laughing and laughing at herself, this voice was very strange, chirping like a mouse, Jiang Pingchuan heard this, his body was slightly cold, the corners of his eyes jumped a few times, and suddenly laughed, the old lady snorted slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Jiang Pingchuan's current performance.
"Young man, what are you laughing at" The old lady raised the bloody tanuki head in her hand, and the cat's eyes looked at Jiang Pingchuan's tightly closed cat mouth and suddenly bared its fangs.
The dark green in his eyes was even stronger, Jiang Pingchuan reached out and touched the head of the tanuki, and for a while he didn't think about anything else, but thought of the hairball.
The head of the hairball is much bigger than the current one, and the meat feels very good, and the cat's head in the hand is hard and has no flesh, more like a stone.
"Pingchuan just thinks it's funny, Grandma came out so late and was scary, is it because she has a face that is different from ordinary people?"
Jiang Pingchuan stretched out his hand and lifted the hat on the old lady's head, under the hat was a cat face, and under the cat's nose where the pale face collapsed was a cat mouth, and the whole face was wrinkled and squeezed together.
With pale hair on top of her head, her forehead protruding and her eyes glowing green, this is an old lady with a cat's face.
Jiang Pingchuan stared at the ugly and slightly swollen cat face in front of him, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but just sighed and put on the hat again for the old lady.
"Aren't you afraid?" said the old lady's voice.
It may be that Jiang Pingchuan is the first person to see her face and behave so calmly, her tone is full of incredulity, Jiang Pingchuan shook his head when he heard the old lady's words.
It's not that he wasn't afraid, it's just that the old lady didn't have any aura on her body that could threaten him, and he had never seen anyone who could control his mind when he had a cat face.
can still speak, these situations together do not conform to the kind of cat-faced people in the ranks of ghosts, Jiang Pingchuan doesn't think this face is terrifying, what is terrifying is the appearance.
But there was not only hatred and resentment but also longing in those eyes, and it was as if she had seen a human being for the first time when she had removed the hat she had used to hide herself.
"Come with me, it's complicated here, I'll take you out"
The old lady withdrew her hand holding the cat's head, turned around, swayed and walked towards the endless darkness of the rainy night, Jiang Pingchuan stood in place and did not follow the old lady.
The old lady also stopped her steps and turned her back to Jiang Pingchuan, she exuded a dark resentment, very thick and intense, Jiang Pingchuan knew that the cat-faced old lady in front of him was angry.
"Pingchuan thanks Grandma for her kindness, Grandma should also know that Pingchuan is very human, you must know that no cat-faced person can control himself, Grandma has not been eroded by the backlash in order not to harm others, but in Pingchuan's opinion, how long can Grandma last, sooner or later one day you will no longer eat cat meat, but really eat human flesh and drink human blood"
Jiang Pingchuan frowned, the resentment had begun to erode his body, he withdrew the true qi in his body, feeling the invasion of this resentment, family affection, reluctance, resentment, unwillingness, these breaths were mixed in this resentment.
"Meow"
"Huh"
The old lady suddenly lifted off her coat and hat to reveal her true face, her rickety body was thin and bony, and there was a deep strangulation mark on her neck that was bright red.
Tilting his head and lips against Jiang Pingchuan's neck, panting, humming and wheezing, it seemed that the old lady was trying her best to restrain herself from biting down.
Jiang Pingchuan felt it, felt the fangs that pierced into the skin of his neck, there was only one, and this cat-faced old lady only had one fang.
"Ahh
Just when Jiang Pingchuan felt a pain in his neck, the old lady screamed as if she had been violently impacted by something, and took a few steps back.
Jiang Pingchuan covered his neck and looked innocently at the resentful old lady, the old lady was still baring the fangs, and the cat's lips turned slightly outward to reveal another broken cat tooth.
"You don't belong here"
Jiang Pingchuan took out the jade plate on his chest that the old man gave him and shook it in front of the old lady, the old lady's face became very calm, and the green light in her eyes gradually dissipated.
Jiang Pingchuan put the jade plate in his hand in the old lady's hand, and the moment he touched the old lady's hand, the jade card trembled, as if he had seen someone he hadn't seen for a long time.
