The cannibalistic cat-faced lady has never been found, but this matter has been spread by ten or ten spreads, causing panic in the whole Heilongjiang, parents are afraid that their children will be eaten on the road, and children are afraid to go to school. In the end, this incident alarmed the central government, and in order to refute the rumors, the army was sent to search for the traces of the cat-faced old lady, who was finally found and shot in the head by a soldier. Ji Zizheng said.

After listening to what Ji Zi said, I wondered: "So this old lady was caught by the soul of that big black cat?" ”

I remembered in my mind that when An Xiaowu was chasing and killing the big black cat, when the big black cat jumped over the old lady's spiritual bed, its belly hit the old lady's chin, and the black cat hit the door after landing on the ground. Then he lay motionless on the ground.

What kind of upper body method is this? I've never heard of it.

Song Gang said: "Actually, it's not right to say that ghosts are on the body, my grandmother is from a mountain village in Yunnan, he used to tell me. This is called air interception. ”

"Interception?" I wondered, I am also a successful Taoist disciple, borrowing the corpse to return the soul, and the ancestor has heard of these methods. But I really don't know about such a thing.

Song Gang said: "In many mountain villages in Yunnan, there is a taboo that domestic animals that are more than five years old, especially cats and dogs, must be killed, no matter how good the relationship with the owner is. ”

"Why?" Shi Xiaoxue asked.

Song Gang said: "Domestic animals and people have lived for a long time, they will produce human nature, and begin to imitate human movements and even language, it is rumored that black dogs and domestic cats are born psychic, if they produce a trace of human wisdom." They will consider why they are animals, and it is said that at the moment when the person is breathing, if the animal can take its last breath, it can reincarnate its soul and throw it into the human body, so as to be resurrected. ”

Ji Zizheng nodded and continued: "So livestock is just livestock after all, you can imagine what a terrible thing it would be if a domestic dog suddenly learned to laugh or cry, human beings have always hoped that their livestock could be smarter and treat livestock as pets." As a child, but when the animal is smart enough to have the IQ of a child, and begins to imitate human behavior and expressions, it will make people feel frightened, and the more they resemble people, the more frightening they become. ”

"So, the big black cat intercepted the old lady's anger and resurrected it through the old lady's corpse." I muttered.

Song Gang nodded and said, "I think the reason why that black cat climbed into your bed at night was not because it gave birth to kittens, but because it wanted to intercept your anger, but I couldn't figure out why it wanted to intercept the anger of a living person." ”

Hearing Song Gang's words, I finally understood what was going on, the reason why the big black cat was standing on my bed was because my soul was gone, and it wanted to intercept my qi to resurrect, but it found that I was alive and couldn't intercept my qi at all, so it turned to attack me.

When An Xiaowu heard what we said, he slowly came back to his senses, his nose was a little breathless, he looked at us and said, "So, after that black cat married me and became a cat-faced old lady, the first person to kill was me?" ”

An Xiaowu used the word "again", he must have thought of the old lady who asked for directions, and the first person to be pointed out by the deceased was him.

An Xiaowu cried as he spoke, he wiped his nose and said, "Killing a cat is also a big revenge." ”

We hurriedly comforted An Xiaowu, and after a while, Song Gang said, "Then what should we do next, move away, or find the cat-faced old lady and kill her?" ”

I said: "Legend has it that the cat-faced lady was shot in the head by the soldiers, if it is true, it means that the cat-faced lady can be killed with a gun, and I didn't feel any evil from her, the cat is a cat after all, even if it produces a trace of wisdom, compared to people is still a beast, smart is not anywhere, we will look for it in the village tomorrow, if I don't find it, then I will find her with the technique of finding the hole of the paper crane, if I don't kill her, it is difficult to sleep, and it is also a disaster to the nearby villagers." ”

Everyone agreed with me, and they went back to the house to get ready to sleep, but when they said goodbye, Shi Xiaoxue was a little scared and didn't dare to go back, Song Gang and Ji Zizheng both looked at An Xiaowu on the bed, An Xiaowu's face was just a little better, let him sleep in a room by himself, where would he do it.

I said, "Let's put our beds together, sleep sideways, five people together." ”

That night, the five of us fell asleep side by side, Shi Xiaoxue slept on the side, lying next to me, next to me were An Xiaowu, Ji Zizheng and Song Gang, and Shi Xiaoxue and I looked at each other and smiled before the lights went out.

I took my heart for her in the dark, she didn't need to die like me, go through these strange and bizarre things, she is a weak woman after all, I always have a time when I can't protect well, just like now, I am seriously injured and unhealed, I can barely use my Dao Qi, what if she is in danger one day and I can't do anything?

Early the next morning, Miaozi Village was still shrouded in fog, and the five of us went out to look for the cat-faced old lady after dinner.

The big black cat was raised by the old lady, so it is very likely that it is still in the old lady's house, so we tried to avoid the people in the village and arrived at the old lady's door.

From a distance, I saw a huge black and white photo of the old lady on the table of the Eight Immortals in the middle of the temple, and on the ground were the overturned sacrificial plates and candlesticks, and several half-burned white candles flowed a layer of wax on the table top of the Eight Immortals table.

"The people of Miaozi Village just leave the courtyard of the dead open like this, and don't care?" Song Gang was taken aback by this strange scene.

Ji Zizheng's face was ugly, and he said: "Although my memory is a little vague, when I was a child, my grandmother carried me from house to house, and I have never seen such disrespect to the deceased. ”

"What are you afraid of, it's just a stinky cat, and it's not an invisible demon!" An Xiaowu snatched the shotgun from Song Gang and rushed in. Dou Hong did his best.

The lights in the temple were dim, An Xiaowu stood by the door with a gun and couldn't see what was inside, he had the courage to roar and didn't see any movement inside, An Xiaowu didn't dare to look at the old lady's portrait, he rubbed his arm with goosebumps and said, "No, retreat." ”

"You go in and find it!" Song Gang pointed to the inside of the temple and said.

"Why don't you go in?" An Xiaowu replied to Song Gang.

But at this time, the door next to him suddenly squeaked and moved, An Xiaowu was so frightened that his hair stood on end, he swallowed his saliva, kicked the door with his guts, and suddenly jumped out of the door A big civet cat, this raccoon cat is fat, but the hair on his body has fallen out, and it looks like an old cat that has lived for more than five years.

After the tanuki ran out, he immediately ran away along the wall, An Xiaowu wanted to shoot, but the tanuki jumped into a person's arms when he was at the intersection.

The man sat on a stone behind an old temple with his back to us, dressed in a shroud, and we glanced at each other, exited from the front of the temple, and walked towards the man who was holding a big tanuki.

An Xiaowu walked towards the man with a gun and shouted, "Who are you?" ”

The man didn't seem to hear, and muttered something we didn't understand, and we walked across from her to find that she was also an old lady on the verge of decay.

Ji Zizheng pressed down the shotgun in An Xiaowu's hand, walked up to the old lady and asked: "Grandma Wu, do you still know me, I am the smartest little baby Ji Zizheng in Miaozi Village more than ten years ago, at that time you also showed me the photo, saying that my earlobes are big, and I will be blessed in the future." ”

This Grandma Wu held the tanuki in her hand, looked up at Ji Zizheng, nodded slowly and said, "Wen Juan'er's baby?" ”

Ji Zizheng nodded and said, "Grandma Wu, Wenjuan is my mother." ”

Grandma Wu said, "Everyone in the village has moved away, and I'm the only one, why are you still here?" ”

Ji Zizheng said: "My grandma hasn't moved out yet, I'll accompany her." ”

"Oh, she told me you hadn't come to see her in a few years, and I missed you." After Grandma Wu finished speaking, she began to tease the tanuki in her arms.

Ji Zizheng asked again: "Grandma Wu, why did the people in our village move away, and why did our village raise these cats and dogs so big?" ”

Grandma Wu didn't answer, but continued to tease the tanuki in her hand, Ji Zi saw that Grandma Wu didn't speak anymore and didn't force it, most of these old people were desolate in their old age, and they had no children and no daughters around them, and after a long time, they could only talk to themselves, caught in their own world, and couldn't hear the outside world.

We said goodbye to Grandma Wu and walked to the rear, about fifty meters away, I vaguely heard the old lady humming a tune: "Black old lady, come to ask for the soul, Miaozi Village, no one ......"

I looked at Grandma Wu's bleak back, and my heart was sad, because I remembered my grandmother, and I noticed that there was also a blue strip of cloth tied behind her hair.
