Chapter 30: The Beacon King
The appearance of black shadows and red lights suffocates us!
I remember very clearly that when I was near the Yin Soldiers' Mound, it was because of this unique cat howl and strange red light that these tens of millions of meat-eating insects were drawn. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And this time, the howling owner himself appeared, which attracted all our attention.
In the light of fireflies covering the ground, the "black thing" the size of a pillow and showing off its might rushed out of us step by step.
That's a black cat!
The appearance of the black cat is very pompous, and every step it takes, it drives a few fireflies on the ground to fly, but then, those insects lie down at this pure black "monster", as if they are worshipping the return of the king.
Soon, it stepped on the phosphorescent light, like a star and a moon, walked out of the cover of the forest, and stood alone in front of the three of us, raising its head proudly!
When it was covered in moonlight, we were stunned.
This is the most beautiful and elegant black cat I have ever seen in my life, of course, it is not accurate to say that it is a black cat, because there is also a white horizontal line drawn on its forehead, like a ...... Tiger's "forehead print".
The black cat's eyes are extremely bright, and with its high head and flagpole-like tail, it is even more impressive. And the most amazing thing is that it is as straight as the tail of a flagpole...... There is actually a "bright light"!
That should ...... Also a "firefly".
We saw a crimson firefly the size of a thumb cap, crawling on the top of the "flagpole", emitting a bewitching bright red light, although small, but extremely disproportionately bright, almost as bright as a light bulb, can shine a prototype of everything except a black cat within a dozen steps.
This wonderful combination of a cat, a worm, made all three of us feel a ...... Heartfelt, thorough, inside-out shock.
It's so beautiful, and it's too bewitching. Of course, this also added a powerful aura to the black cat, so much so that I felt in a trance that what I saw was not a black cat, but a fierce beast like a tiger.
Under the red light, I don't know what the "divine insect" on the black cat's tail is, but I know that the mobile phone in the black cat's mouth must be the one that has been missing for a long time.
Looking at the phone in the cat's mouth, I was blindfolded.
The first question I thought about was not the origin and supernatural powers of the black cat, but why did Wang Roar's mobile phone be on the Yin Soldier Tomb? Why did Momiji send a message of "You go die" to Wang Roar's mobile phone, and why did Momiji's mobile phone ...... Now in the mouth of a cat?
In this situation, I can only think of one possibility.
Could it be ...... The urging text message was sent by this cat, and the real recipient was not Wang Roar, it was the three of us who went deep into the Yin Soldier Tomb?! It's also just trying to tell us it's angry and tell us to "die"?
A cat that can use a mobile phone?! This cat...... It's a fine thing!
However, compared to our helplessness, the "cat spirit" was unusually calm and elegant, it gently opened its mouth, and provocatively threw Hyun Hongye's mobile phone near me, as if to intimidate, and to tell me that Momiji and Wang Roar are in a "miserable situation" now.
Suddenly, I looked down at the phone, quickly and carefully feeling the intimidation transmitted by the phone, and with this intimidation, it cooled from head to toe.
Hyun Hongye's mobile phone was shattered and miserable, as if it had been thrown from the fifth floor. But after such a fall of the black cat, it still shines again. Under the alternating glow of the bright phone and the moonlight, I saw a deep, pinky finger-sized circle on the phone, and the hole penetrated through the body of the phone, as if it were as flawless as a bullet penetrating it.
But I know that it is not the mark of bullet penetration, but the masterpiece of the black cat in front of me.
And it did...... is threatening us.
At that time, the black cat suddenly roared in a low voice, as if it was a provocation, and even more like a momentum, the voice made me tremble up and down, and involuntarily took a few steps back!
At the same time as the black cat roared, the strange insects on its tail also followed the glow, and the blood was bright!
As if receiving some order, the tens of millions of fireflies on the ground all "rustled" in response, and at the same time, there was a brighter and bloodier heterochromatic light, illuminating the entire land into a purple-green "sea of light".
Everywhere I saw, the blood was vertical and horizontal between the turquoise, and the cat howled with thousands of insects, like the netherworld, and even more like the collection of Yin soldiers!
This scene, seductive, I have only seen it in my life!
In a daze, Zhao Hong's face suddenly twitched, and then with a "coo", he slowly knelt down to the cat with a lantern on its tail.
Zhao Hong's emotions were out of control, so much so that he cried out loud: "This, this is ...... Master of the Yin Soldiers! 'The King of Lights'! ”
Immediately, Zhao Hong kowtowed hysterically to the black cat, and at the same time kept reciting the words "King of Bright Lights", "spare your life" and "Mistakenly entered".
What is the King of Lights? I do not know.
...... But afterwards, I asked Zhao Hong why he knelt down in front of a cat when his legs were weak, and what was the "King of Bright Lights" in his mouth.
Zhao Hong, who survived the catastrophe, told me that the Ming Lantern King was a legendary creature in the Seventy-two Gu Mountains, and no one had ever seen it. But it is said that this thing is like a black cat, and there must be a bright light hanging on its tail. As soon as it appears, it must be stepping on the "dark light" and wearing the "spark". Indescribably splendid and weird.
Because it has a "lamp" on its tail that changes from a firefly, the superstitious mountain people named this unknown creature "King of Lights".
In the legend, it has a great ability, it is said to have saved Jiang Ziya's life, so it was named the Jade Emperor as the "King of the Bright Lantern of Titu", it is the "dark official" and "mount" of the king of Yama to patrol the night, and the supernatural power in the underworld is compared with the "Di Ting", just because its character is jealous and holds grudges, so it is not favored by the king of the earth.
Maybe it's also because it's not treated by the leader.,This thing often "travels" in the legend, and comes to the world to drive the Yin soldiers at night. Catching ghosts and catching demons is both good and evil. According to the old generation, its appearance must indicate that there are demons and ghosts nearby.
Although Zhao Hong said this later, I still couldn't figure it out, because ...... We're not demons! Why do you look at this prince's posture...... Want to arrest us in general?
And at that time, I looked at everything numbly, and there was no need to ask Zhao Hong what was the Lord of the Bright Lantern and what was the Lord of the Yin Soldiers.
Because I feel that there is a power in the underworld that has broken the bottom line of Zhao Hong's heart, and this power comes from the "King of Bright Lights" he kneels down!
From the vision just now, I suddenly understood that this Beacon King was probably the culprit and master of all the demons tonight! If you can kill it...... Then these fireflies will be self-defeating.
So, I silently reached into my pants pocket and gently grabbed my copycat Swiss Army knife as a "killer weapon".
I know that there is only one chance, and if you want to kill the Lantern King, you must kill with one blow, so ...... Must wait for the cat to get closer, if possible.
We were like this, in my calculations, everyone and a cat, a group of insects, stalemate.
Surprisingly, the black cat did not attack us directly, but suddenly turned around and ...... Wang Roar walked to the place where his clothes were.
At this time, in the open space of the old Qilu stone man, Wang Roar's rotten jacket and the gray cat I kicked out were all there. And I think the meaning of this "King of Lights" is obviously running for the cat's corpse.
Sure enough, after the Lantern King walked around Wang Roar's jacket, he ran over to the gray cat corpse, and after snoring in a low but vicious voice, it suddenly raised its head and stared at me!
The look was so spiritual, and there was a viciousness in it, that at that moment I took it for a person, and I involuntarily questioned it:
"What! It's not me who killed (the cat), you sprinkled (found) the wrong (person) ......."
Halfway through the sentence, I suddenly understood something!
I've finally figured out what tonight's events mean.
I speculate that in the convulsion near the pickup just now, Wang Roar must have met the gray cat who died tragically, and it is likely that Wang Roar broke the gray cat's neck. The proof is Wang Roar's jacket full of blood and scratches.
And that gray cat is likely to be the subordinate of this Lantern King.
As a result, all of us are tantamount to offending this black cat, so he will use his mobile phone and fireflies to lure us to the vicinity of the Yin Soldier Tomb in a different way, so as to drive its "Yin Soldiers" to kill the king and continue to harm our lives.
If this thing doesn't become refined, heaven won't tolerate it!
But just as I figured out these joints, the cat suddenly turned around and rushed directly at me and Zhao Hong.
It's on the offensive!
In a hurry, I immediately realized that the cat was so fast that I didn't have time to react!
I only saw a black shadow, mixed with a red light, and rushed at me in a daze!
After secretly screaming "not good", I instinctively dodged it, but I didn't dodge it at all.
After the red light flashed, a burning pain instantly invaded my hands and face!
Immediately after, I found myself in my hand the coat I used to repel fireflies and the cigarette in my mouth...... It's all gone!
Surprised, I reached out and looked down at my coat that had fallen to the ground, and then at my arm.
There was a fleshy mark on his left hand, slowly oozing blood out in the moonlight.
It's too fast.
After the blow was successful, the Lantern King ran away ten meters away in my surprise, and then turned back to look at us, holding the cigarette butt in my mouth.
The black cat howled excitedly, and at the same time spit out the cigarette butt in its mouth, and suddenly extinguished it with its paws, before raising its head and looking at us with a playful look.
With his successful blow, the fireflies that had been lying on the ground before buzzed up again, and approached us a lot.
I suddenly felt that this black cat was playing with us!
With its skills just now, it easily cut my neck without any problem, but it didn't do that, but only removed the two insect repellent things in my hand and mouth, obviously the drunkard didn't mean to drink, most likely, it wanted those worms that eat human flesh to gnaw us to death little by little!
What a vicious brute!
In desperation, I reached out again to pick up the coat that had fallen on the ground, but as soon as I picked it up, the black shadow of the cat slashed across my arm again.
That's twice as fast as it was just now!
In a bone-chilling pain, my coat fell to the ground again.
After the second blow, the Lantern King turned gracefully again, stretched out his white tongue, and licked his claws, and the tips of his sharp claws ...... Stained with my blood!
Why? It only attacks me?
