"Brother Helian, I have a reluctant request. ………… I don't know if you can say yes. Daddy said.

Helian Tian stretched out his hand and made a "please speak" gesture.

"I want this friend of mine to come to your door instead of me, and let you teach her to raise a cat ghost."

Grandpa thought this way out of consideration. Xiaomi is used to condensing resentment into a cat shape, but it has no cat shape and no cat nature. If she can follow Helian Tian to become familiar with cat nature, then the cat that is condensed and formed in the future will be even stronger. In addition, the cat ghost is a better horcrux than ordinary cats, and if Xiaomi is refined into a cat ghost, there is no need to use a small porcelain bottle to hold grudges or geismans. Moreover, Grandpa planned to go to Zesheng, but he couldn't take Xiaomi with him, he wanted Xiaomi to stay in Baoding under the protection of Heliantian for the time being.

"This ......" Helian Tian was a little embarrassed.

"In exchange, I can help you find out if Ze Sheng is really looking for Xu Ani's reincarnation for you."

"He'll find it for me. He promised. ”

Grandpa said: "He once promised me a promise. But then he killed the guy I was looking for. My Xu Ani. ”

Helian Tian was stunned.

Grandpa reluctantly pulled out a smile and said: "Brother Helian, you are a person who has studied in a military school, and you should know the two most basic truths of 'soldiers are not tired of cheating' and 'knowing oneself and knowing oneself'. If you can trust me, I'll check it out for you and see if he really looks for the reincarnation of Xu Ani for you. If he hadn't looked for her, I thought maybe I could join you in her search. ”

Helian Tian turned the teacup in his hand, and his eyes stared intently at the water in the cup, as if looking at a piece of ocean.

Grandpa said again: "Ze Sheng lied to you in order to let you work for him." What do you get if I lie to you? Think about it. ”

Helian Tian nodded, put the teacup on the table, took a deep breath, and said, "You're right. I have met your brother and know that your brother is a good man. I'm sure you are too. I was impressed by the fact that you gave up the imperial examination because of your father's words, and the amazing strength of your friends to protect you. I can promise you that your friends will come to my door and learn the art of cat ghosts. I don't treat your friends as subordinates, but as my friends. And you, instead of me, go to Fushun to secretly check if Ze Sheng has done what he promised. ”

"He's in Fushun now?" Daddy asked.

"Yes. After the soul transaction is completed, we will send someone to send the soul to Fushun to act as a Yin soldier. So he'll be waiting in Fushun recently. ”

"Why is he in Fushun? He should go to a more remote place, avoid people's eyes, or hide in a more prosperous city, hidden in the city, how to choose this place that is not remote and not prosperous? ”

"Because the people of Guerjia believe that Fushun is their blessed land. The ancestral residence of the Guerjia tribe is in the Yaerhu region in the northeast, which is now Fushun in Fengtian Province. Later, a classic battle called 'Battle of Salhu' took place here. This battle was an important turning point in the history of Ming and Qing wars, and it was a decisive war in the history of the rise and fall of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The Houjin army turned things around in the case of being besieged by the Ming army, broke the three Ming armies in five days, annihilated about 50,000 Ming troops, and captured a large number of military supplies, and the battle ended in a great defeat for the Ming army. From then on, the Ming army was no longer the opponent of the Later Jin army. Later Jin successfully established the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, it is not surprising that Ze Sheng, who is a member of the Guerjia clan, chose this place as his base. He wanted to make the miracle of the former Qing happen again here. Helian Tian said.

At that time, there was no such thing as Liaoning Province, and the place where Liaoning was located was called Fengtian Province at that time. Therefore, Zhang Zuolin's army is called Feng. However, Zhang Zuolin's son soon renamed Fengtian Province as "Liaoning Province", which means "eternal peace on both sides of the Liao River", but for a long time after that, the people were still accustomed to calling it "Fengtian Province".

"How do you know so well?" Daddy asked.

Helian said proudly: "Don't forget, I graduated from a military school. I can count the classic wars in history. ”

Daddy quipped, "It looks like you've learned something in a few years in Japan." ”

Helian Tian laughed.

When Daddy returned to the hotel from the dog meat restaurant, Xiaomi had already sorted out the name of the grievance.

When she saw her grandfather coming back, she pretended to be very tired and lay on the bed, rubbed her wrists and said, "We have lost one-fifth of our grievances, it seems that my strength is still too weak, and I have not been able to defeat one of the black and white cats after consuming so many grievances." It's so frustrating! ”

Grandpa knows Xiaomi's strength very well this time, and now it is almost not weaker than Xie Xiaomi's at that time. But when he saw that Xiaomi said this, he followed her words and said, "Yes." You also need to intensify your practice. So I've got you up with a good idea. Over time, you can double your strength. ”

Xiaomi jumped out of bed in surprise and asked, "Really?" What's so powerful? ”

Zhu Yuzi was dozing off the table boredly, and when he heard the sound of Millet jumping out of bed, he was so frightened that he hurriedly got up, looking left and right to see what was happening. Seeing that it was the sound made by Xiaomi, it turned around dissatisfiedly, turned its head inward, pointed its butt at Xiaomi and Daddy, and then continued to doze off.

"That's right. But it's not with me. Daddy said.

Millet tilted her head and asked, "Not with you?" In whom? ”

"Someone I just met."

"Did you go to Miss Tie? What can she teach me? ”

Grandpa shook his head and said, "It's not her, it's another person." ”

"Who else do you know in Baoding besides her?"

Grandpa said, "The person you thought was going to detain me last night." ”

"The one at the dog meat restaurant?"

"Yes. You should have discovered your own weaknesses as well, your cat only has shape, but it doesn't have the agility that a cat should have. The person at that dog meat restaurant is a master of raising cat ghosts for many years, and you should benefit a lot from learning from him. In addition, if you learn to raise a cat ghost, we don't have to bring so many things to collect grudges, and the cat ghost can be used as an easy way to store souls, and you can walk on your own. Daddy said.

"It will take a while to learn how to raise a cat ghost, will we stay here for a long time?" Xiaomi asked.

Grandpa replied, "Well, it's for a while." When you learn to keep cat ghosts, I'll go to other places to check out and I'll be back soon. ”

"Soon?"

"Hmm. Soon. Daddy's voice was much lower.

"But I don't want to learn anything from that guy."

"I've already promised you someone." Daddy said.

Xiaomi exhaled and pursed her lips, but still said obediently, "Okay." If you have already promised others, you can't keep your word. ”

Grandpa walked to the table, touched the scissors on the table, and whispered, "Millet." ”

"Huh?" Xiaomi was a little upset, but answered him anyway. She turned her head and noticed that her father seemed to have suddenly become a little cowardly. It left her confused.

"You can cut some more paper figures." Daddy touched the blade of the scissors, which is a very dangerous place, and if you are not careful, you can get hurt.

Xiaomi frowned and said, "Didn't you always say that I wasted the yellow table paper when I cut it before?" Why do you want me to cut it again today? ”

Grandpa closed the scissors, hid the blade, and said with a smile: "Look at you, I want to cut it when I don't want you to cut it, let you cut it, you ask this and that." ”

After Dad and Xiaomi finished lunch, they went to Heliantian's dog meat restaurant together.

Xiaomi obediently followed Heliantian to do a simple apprenticeship ceremony according to his father's instructions. Helian Tian saw that Xiaomi was completely different from last night, smart and likable, and even said that it was his luck to accept Xiaomi as an apprentice.

Helian Tian summoned a group of kitten ghosts out and asked Xiaomi to pick one to be her exclusive cat ghost.

Xiaomi unceremoniously chose one.

Grandpa found that the one Xiaomi chose was the kitten ghost who had captured the paper man in the morning.

Helian Tian praised Xiaomi's good eyesight and chose the best one among all the kittens and ghosts. The kitten ghost is named Bai Ye, and it was born from the union of Mr. Bai and Mr. Ye.

Millet was puzzled: "Aren't all gentlemen public?" How do you give birth to kittens? ”

Helian Tian explained: "Actually, Mr. Bai is a female cat, and Mr. Night is a male cat. If you are not a man, you are called a gentleman, but a woman who is very knowledgeable and respectable is also called a gentleman. It's an honorific title. Mr. Bai has already reached the level of grandma, so he is naturally called Mr. ”

"Oh." Xiaomi suddenly realized.

"The first lesson after choosing a cat ghost is to make it confess. If you don't let it recognize the owner, the cat ghost will be raised in vain, because it has nothing to do with you. It's easy to raise a spiritual pet, but it's not easy to make a spiritual pet recognize its owner. Helian Tian soon entered the state of being a master.

"Confess the Lord? Do you think I am its master? Will you follow me every day in the future? Millet was overjoyed that her childish side was finally revealed again. Children seem to like to have a little pet like a fart.

"It's hard to get a cat to recognize its owner." Daddy said.

"yes. Cats and dogs are both Horcruxes, but the difference can be said to be one in the sky and one in the ground. Unlike dogs, which are extremely uncontrollable and have little to no loyalty, are easily recognized, and are particularly faithful. Although it lives with you, it takes you as a wrongdoer, eats and drinks you, and wants you to touch it, tease it, and serve it, so that you consider it its master and you are its servant. If you treat it badly, it's likely to bring something unclean from the outside to yin you. Look at my Mr. Bai and Mr. Night, I asked them to do something respectfully, for fear of upsetting them. Thankfully, they gave me some face. Helian Tian laughed at himself.

As Helian Tian spoke, the kitten licked its paws by itself, completely unaware that he was being taken by the little girl in front of him.

"My family has been raising cat ghosts for so many years, and I can barely have a relatively reliable cat taming routine. Kittens are separated from their mothers immediately after three days of birth. No one is allowed to see it, but only its owner, who feeds it alone, with milk and the like. Don't let the cat leave the house until it is half a year old, and lock it in the house, and don't go out to eat, drink, or Lazar. In this way, it will protect the family, and it will not leave if you chase it. Don't feed it, always starve it, so that it will think that the family is poor, so that it will have money to help the family. Helian Tian spoke from experience.

"Fortune to help the family? Isn't it a Horcrux or something? Millet said confusedly.

Helian Tian explained: "The cat ghost was originally used to transport wealth. He looked at his grandfather and said with a wry smile: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be sorry for Xu Ani." ”

Daddy nodded.

"But Bai Ye is now more than half a year old, right? How do I get it to confess? Xiaomi couldn't hide her disappointment.
