Chapter 184: Human Essence 1

A woman in black came in and interrupted the conversation between Helian Tian and Xiaomi. The woman in black said that someone was here to see Heliantian.

Helian Tian said to Xiaomi: "I'm sorry, this person is more important, I'll go see him first, you have a good rest first, and when your body is almost recovered, I'll teach you other cat ghost techniques." ”

Millet nodded.

As soon as Helian Tian left, Xiaomi got up from the bed and played with Bai Ye. With this lost and regained experience, Xiaomi cherishes the white night even more. White Night is also more obedient to Xiaomi, and the degree of recognition is deeper.

Millet carefully examined the white night and found that its belly had returned to normal, and it was not known whether the hanged ghost that ate it had been digested by it or dissipated when it was in the water.

In the evening, Helian Tian had not returned, and more and more people came to the dog meat restaurant. Many of these guests are repeat customers, and Xiaomi knows some of them. Most of them were drunkards, not because they were drinking, but because of the women in black.

Helian Tian spent a lot of money buying and selling souls, and if there was out, there must be in, and dog meat and human flesh were excellent ways to recover funds.

Grandpa didn't pin Millet on Miss Tie, but on her in the dog meat restaurant, because of his considerations. He knew that although Miss Tie closely monitored Ze Sheng's every move, Ze Sheng must also be secretly paying attention to Miss Tie's every move. If Xiaomi is entrusted to Miss Tie's care, this will not only not hide Xiaomi, but expose her to Zesheng's field of vision. Although the dog meat restaurant has a hidden skin and meat business, it seems that it is not good to put young millet here, but it is precisely because there are all kinds of people here that individual people do not attract special attention and can confuse the public. The more dangerous the place, the safer. Moreover, this is Zesheng's own territory, and it will not attract attention.

When Helian Tian was away, no one controlled Xiaomi. Millet took Bai Ye to the lively dog meat restaurant to play. Ghost dealers are like ghosts, where there is famine and war, they run away. People who live in such places all year round will be more or less stained with some unclean things. Xiaomi wants Hakuya to eat what those people brought in to improve Hakuya's strength. While these things don't do much like the noodles in the soup, it's better to talk about it than nothing, and it's better to have a little than nothing at all. The hanged ghost almost killed Bai Ye this time, and Xiaomi didn't dare to let it eat the wandering ghost that didn't know the depths.

There are many ghost dealers who have made a lot of money here not long ago, and most of them love to drink, and when they drink too much, they talk nonsense, talking about nothing more than alcohol, women and ghosts. Xiaomi listened carefully to the topic of ghosts, so as to know where they found a large number of ghosts, where the yin qi was heavier, and where strange things often happened. Xiaomi kept them in mind one by one, and waited for the opportunity to take Bai Ye to a full meal in the future.

If they say that many ghosts have been found somewhere in Baoding, Millet will take Bai Ye to that place the next day to have a gluttonous feast.

The ghost dealer is a bit like a thief in some ways, usually stepping on the dots first, and only getting what he wants when it's time to make a deal. And before the transaction, the point they stepped on was patronized by Xiaomi.

During this time, White Night became more and more powerful under the cultivation of Xiaomi.

One night, Millet went out hunting with White Night after dinner.

When he walked to a remote hill, Xiaomi saw an old night walker not far in front of him. The night walker seemed to have some difficulty walking, staggering, walking very slowly.

Millet rushed up and asked the night passerby: "This uncle, it's so late, where are you going?" "This hill is already some distance away from Baoding City, but this old man is not going to the city, but to the suburbs.

When the old man heard the voice of millet, he stopped, sniffed in the air with his nose, and said in a hoarse voice: "Child, you go quickly, it's dangerous here!" ”

Xiaomi thought it was funny, if it was dangerous here, why did he, an old man who couldn't run, come here?

"I smell a tiger!" The old man said.

Xiaomi smiled: "Uncle, don't scare me, my master has said that there are no tigers outside the city of Baoding." If there are tigers, why did you come here? ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "I'm not afraid of tigers!" I'm not afraid of anything! ”

Millet wanted to leave him behind and continue with Bai Ye, but when she heard the old man say this, she was a little curious. She followed the old man and asked, "You're not afraid of anything?" Why? ”

The old man showed a strange smile, raised a finger and pointed at his own eyes, and said, "I am blind and can't see anything, how can I be afraid?" ”

Only then did Xiaomi discover that the old man's two eyes were completely white, like the eyes of a fish that had been dead for a few days.

"No matter how scary it is, I can't see it, it won't scare me." The old man laughed.

Xiaomi doesn't know how to refute this sentence.

The old man sniffed the air around him again and asked Xiaomi, "This tiger is following us?" ”

Xiaomi couldn't help but be angry: "Uncle! It's not a tiger, it's my cat! If you can't see it, you can't be scared, and you're proud! But I can't even tell if it's a cat or a tiger next to it! ”

"It's a cat?" The old man didn't believe it.

"Cats, of course! Why don't I let it scream to you? White night, call to this uncle! ”

"Whew......" Bai Ye shouted.

The old man frowned, stretched out again, and said, "It seems that I am not mistaken. ”

Xiaomi felt that this uncle was really confused, and muttered: "It's obviously a cat meow, uncle, you still don't admit your mistake!" If the eyes can't see, can't the ears hear? Be careful, there's a big puddle in front of you! Millet reached out to pull the old man and guided him around the puddle.

The old man's smile melted into the wrinkles of the ravines, and he said, "The little girl has an unforgiving mouth, but her heart is quite kind. Then I might as well tell you, your cat is not ordinary. ”

Xiaomi said: "If it weren't for your bad eyes, I wouldn't be too lazy to care about you, I still have something to do." Of course, I don't need you to say that I know this cat is very unusual! "Xiaomi thought to herself, I'm a cat ghost, not a cat, I'm afraid of scaring your old man when I say it!

The old man was not afraid that Millet would interrupt him, and continued: "I know that there is a master of raising cat ghosts in Baoding City, who is a descendant of the Huns, surnamed Helian, and his ancestor changed his surname to take the meaning of Heheliantian. But you're not just a cat ghost, little girl! ”

Millet was calmed by the old man's words. Only then did she realize that this old man was blind and not blind.

"Little girl, do you know, the cat is a white tiger, one of the four divine beasts that are the most terrifying and boundless in power. The four divine beasts are the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu. The west is white, so the white tiger is the god of the west, and the green dragon is the god of evil, and the white tiger is also the god of war, with a variety of divine powers such as avoiding evil, fighting disasters, praying for abundance, punishing evil and promoting good, and getting rich. I sensed its powers, so it was a tiger. The old man said mysteriously.

Millet said: "But...... It's a cat......"

The old man smiled and said, "Little girl, you said that you still have something to do, so you took it to the mass grave not far in front to eat ghosts, right?" ”

Xiaomi was taken aback and asked, "How did you know?" Do you know how to calculate? ”

"I can do the math, but I don't have to. There is a saying in the Eastern Han Dynasty book "Customs and Customs", "The tiger, the thing of the yang, the chief of the beasts, can fight and frustrate, and devour ghosts." "Your cat is a white tiger beast, and when you come out at this time, you naturally want to devour ghosts. The old man said it clearly.

"You're amazing." Xiaomi admired.

The old man said again, "You cat has died once, haven't you?" ”

Xiaomi was surprised: "How do you know this?" ”

The old man smiled inscrutablely and said: "As far as the five elements of yin and yang are concerned, the green dragon is born from the separation and belongs to the fire, so the cloud 'the dragon comes out of the fire', and the white tiger is born in the kan, and the kan belongs to the water, so the cloud 'the tiger is born to the water'." An ordinary cat, in order to become a mythical beast, the White Tiger, must come back from the dead! Of course, it depends on the cat's life being big enough! One in a million! So I know not only that your cat died once, but that it came back from the water after it died! Little girl, am I right or not? ”

Xiaomi admired it so much that she was convinced: "Uncle, you are really amazing!" My master doesn't even know any of this. At this point, Millet finally understood why she saw a tiger rushing out of the water by the pond. It turned out to be White Night!

"Your master? The one with the surname Helen? The old man asked.

"yes. Do you know my master? ”

The old man shook his head and said, "I know the world, but the world doesn't know me." With the protection of this White Tiger Divine Beast, your master and his black and white cats are not your opponents. However, you still have to know how to control this White Tiger Divine Beast. If a particularly powerful force is not controlled, you may be at the mercy of it. ”

"I know that my ability is not enough, and now I am trying to learn the magic taught by my master."

The old man shook his head again and said, "Your master taught you how to raise cats, but you brought a fierce tiger, how can you tame a tiger in the way of taming cats?" ”

Xiaomi heard what the old man said and felt that it made sense. But at present, she has no other way to cultivate except to follow Helian Tianxue.

"Your master underestimated your strength, and you yourself underestimated your strength." The old man said. His white eyes were pitiful and invisible, and he seemed to have all the pride.

"Why don't I want to improve my strength as soon as possible? But there's no other way. Xiaomi said.

The old man stopped, faced Xiaomi, and said cautiously: "If you promise me a condition, I will personally teach you, so that you can quickly improve to your due strength." ”

"Can you improve my strength?" Xiaomi will be skeptical. The letter was because of what he had just said, which proved that he knew a lot. Suspected because he doesn't even know how to avoid the puddle in front of him, how much real strength can such a person have?

The old man said, "What can a blind man deceive you?" ”

Xiaomi thought about it and thought it might as well give it a try, so he asked, "What are your conditions?" ”

"Take me somewhere."

"What place? But I'm not a local, so I'm not familiar with this place. "Xiaomi is embarrassed.

The old man said, "Little girl, I will go to that place, and I can go alone." So it doesn't matter if you don't know the way. ”

Millet was puzzled: "Then why did you still ask me to take you there?" ”
