Chapter 8: Mayor Eyeless
Gai Lu once heard the master say that people with Wu Chang's strange abilities are called "demons", there are not many in the rivers and lakes, and demons have all kinds of strange and bizarre abilities, which are ridiculously strong, but most demons can't use this ability freely, so they always let the people close to them die or be injured, and finally have to choose to commit suicide.
Wu Chang has the ability to burn everything like hellfire, but when he is emotional, he becomes uncontrollable, and when he rushes over and grabs his father's hand, he wants to pull his father out, but he burns his father's hands to ashes, and watches his father being dragged into underground hell by the ghost cat.
This is the memory that Wu Chang wants to forget the most, and he said it in person at this moment, just to persuade Gai Lu to flee quickly, the ghost cat in Ghost Cat Town is invincible, not to mention that you can know how badly Gai Lu has been bullied by the ghost cat by looking at Gai Lu's face.
But the ghost cat is the first level encountered on the road of Gailu's training, if he retreats, then he will not want to go out of the mountain to become a generation of heavenly masters in this life, and he is not qualified to be the successor of Maoshan again.
Gai Lu drank a bowl of tea and gently put the tea bowl on the kang table: "Since I was allowed to bump into this matter, before I find out, it will be death, and I will not back down." ”
When he said this, his eyes emitted a strange color, Wu Chang saw it in his eyes, and his heart was shocked, Daddy asked me to work hard to become a person like Gailu, maybe it is not about ability, but about learning this kind of fighting spirit that will never be discouraged!
Wu Chang chose to stay in Ghost Cat Town, just to find an opportunity to get rid of the ghost cat and avenge his father, so he immediately put away the Night Pearl, went outside, and turned around: "Follow me!" ”
Gailu saw that he was mysterious, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to follow out, bypassing the wheat straw pile, and walking straight for less than a hundred steps, Wu Chang squatted on the ground, lifted some dead grass, and lifted a wooden plank, only to see a hole appear in the ground, and there were steps at the entrance of the hole, which had been spiraling downward, and followed in, only to find that this was a cellar, which may have been used to store melons, fruits and vegetables, and now it has been abandoned.
The cellar is quite wide, but there is an unpleasant musty smell, Wu Chang took out the night pearl and illuminated a corner, Gai Lu's heart jumped when he saw it, there was a person curled up in that corner, and his long snow-white hair poured in front of him, like a cloth that completely covered his body, looking ghostly.
Wu Chang looked at the man, his face full of chagrin: "Grandpa the mayor, blame me for being useless, and I didn't get anything to eat today." ”
The man curled up and didn't move, only the hair on the front of his mouth trembled slightly: "Good boy, it's okay, I just ate it the day before yesterday, grandpa is not hungry!" Although the voice was low, it was very powerful, but there was a touch of weirdness in the voice.
As soon as he heard that this strange man who looked like a corpse was the mayor, Gai Lu's heart chuckled, and he handed the bun packed by the stall owner to Wu Chang, Wu Chang did not refuse, and directly stuffed the bun to the mayor, the mayor took out a bun and took a bite, signaling Wu Chang to eat it too, Wu Chang squatted against the wall, and looked at the mayor while eating.
Gailu saw that they were eating with relish, and he was inexplicably sad.
After a while, the mayor suddenly brushed his hair, revealing a shriveled and terrifying face, a pair of tricks were dug out, leaving only two black holes, eerie and infiltrating, he stuck out his tongue and licked the greasy on his fingers, which was originally a very ordinary action, but because of that face, it made people feel creepy, Rao is Gailu, and he was also cold.
The mayor licked his fingers clean, and then raised his head: "Child, who is this distinguished guest?" ”
Although the mayor of the town has no eyes, he looked up at Gailu like this, which made Gailu very uncomfortable, and the cold hairs all over his body stood upside down, and when he saw Wu Chang's mouth full of food, he smiled and said: "In Xiagalu, passing by here, I met a ghost cat, so I wanted to catch a few to play, and asked the mayor to give me more guidance!" ”
The mayor of the town was stunned when he heard this, and it took a long time to smooth his hair to cover his terrifying and disgusting face, and then let out a few strange laughs: "Hehehe, the old man doesn't know much......
The mayor then told him what he knew, and Gailu listened attentively until the mayor finished speaking, and Gailu was still pondering.
It turns out that since 12 years ago, there were no cats in the town, and rats were infested, but at night, many people have seen nine identical white cats, leisurely walking on the street, followed by an unusually large swarm of rats.
The people of the town raised funds to invite a lot of Taoist warlocks, but not only could not subdue the nine cats, but also were killed by the nine cats, no one dared to come to the town again, the town is also known as the ghost cat town, even the name of the town on the stele at the entrance of the town, was suddenly changed to the ghost cat town, the stele is still the original stele, there is no trace of carving and tampering, strange and inexplicable.
In the past 12 years, no baby was born in Ghost Cat Town, when the fetus was about to be delivered in October, the fetus in the womb of the pregnant woman all disappeared mysteriously, but whenever someone secretly left, its body would be hung in the village entrance vegetable market, since then no one dared to escape, the town was prosperous and the sun was declining, and the people became such ghosts.
Before, Gailu was still wondering, there were many twelve or thirteen-year-old children in the town, but he didn't see a younger child, he didn't expect such a strange thing to happen, but then he thought of the dead body of the baby he saw at the entrance of the village, judging by the degree of decay, it should have been crucified for less than a month, why was that baby born safely?
A month ago, there must have been something big happening in the town, thinking about Gailu's heart jumping, he turned his head to look at Wu Chang, the only explanation is that Wu Chang's father and son came to Ghost Cat Town a month ago, and it was Wu Chang's father who personally delivered the baby, which saved the baby, but the baby could be born safely, but it couldn't grow up safely, and it felt pitiful when I thought about it.
Knowing this is undoubtedly important, but obviously it is not enough, Gailu came back to his senses and asked again, "Mayor Town, your eyes were also damaged by ghost cats?" ”
The mayor shuddered, his hands grasping the ground, his fingers digging deep into the earth, his bones gurgling, and it was evident that Gailu had been furious at the mention of this.
Wu Chang said: "No, the mayor's grandfather's eyes were gouged out by Wang Erfat. Xu felt that Gailu didn't know who Wang Erpang was, and added: "The only inn in the town is opened by Wang Erpang." ”
In fact, there is no need for Wu Chang to specifically explain, Gai Lu also guessed that the Wang shopkeeper has a big problem, and if you want to figure everything out, you can only start from him.
When leaving the cellar, it was already dark, after Gailu said goodbye to Wu Chang, he returned to the inn directly, but he didn't see Wang Ergou at the counter, the blood stains on the ground in the room and the fragments of the dead man's bathtub had been cleaned up, and a brand new wooden bathtub was placed where the bathtub was originally placed, and the basin was filled with hot water.
Seeing that Wang Ergou was so good to him, Gai Lu was not polite, took off his essence and jumped in to start taking a bath beautifully, suddenly there was a piercing squeak outside the window, as soon as he heard the sound, Gai Lu knew that the situation was not good, and his face was extremely ugly in an instant.
