"I really can't imagine that the cat master still has such a sad past." Bai Li shook his head in embarrassment.

"This man is alive, who has not yet had a sad past. Demons live longer and experience more things than humans. Those who say that demons are ruthless have never seen demons emotional. The so-called ruthlessness is just that I have experienced a lot of things, I have been hurt deeply, and I am used to it. The girl said, pursed her lips and smiled faintly, and went to the door to greet the new guests.

Bai Li raised his head, looked at the cat master's room, thought for a while, and then went over to knock on the door.

I knocked twice, but I didn't hear any response as before. Then he pushed the door, but the latch obviously fell behind the door, and he couldn't push it at all.

"Why is Madame still standing in the doorway? Master Cat, I didn't get up to open the door for Mrs. After the guy finished delivering the food, he saw that Bai Li was still pestle at the door of the cat master, so he came over to help with a smile: "Master cat, if you don't open the door again, you won't have to eat in the future." ”

"The latch fell behind the door." Bai Li reminded.

The guy stretched out his hand and pushed it twice, and he was also puzzled: "Master Cat, is this really a change of sex?" As far as we are obsessed with the building, there are only two people who like to drop the latch. One is Tao Ye, Fang Zhou Ye. The other one is our shopkeeper, and that is to eat alone with the two of them behind closed doors. What kind of latch does this cat fall on, is it possible to learn from our shopkeeper to eat alone? ”

"Cat doesn't look like that kind of person. Forget it, let's find a way to open the door first. We've been calling outside the door for a long time, and we can't see the cat open the door, nor can we hear any noise inside, but don't have anything wrong. ”

"What Madame said is, let the little one think of a way." The man thought for a while, then suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked it on the window, and then poked it with his hand, poking out an eyeball-sized hole in the good end of the window paper.

"The cat has a big temper, let's take a look first." The man pressed his face against the window, and the cat looked inside.

"How? Is the cat in the room? ”

"In!" The guy took a step back, and his face changed slightly: "Yes, it's ......"

"What's it?"

"It's just a little tricky." The man pointed to the window: "Otherwise, madam, you should see for yourself." ”

"What does it mean to be a little tricky? It can't be the cat master Jinwu Zangjiao, who is doing something indescribable. Bai Lihu glanced at the guy suspiciously, and when he saw that the guy shook his head, he thought about it and put his eyes on the small hole. Just as I was about to take a closer look, I suddenly heard the guy say: "Madame, you have to be steady, this is not a big matter, we can solve it in the heart." ”

Without waiting for the guy to finish speaking, Bai Li let out a "ah", and the blood on his face instantly retreated a lot. In the room, the cat sat cross-legged on the bed, as if he was practicing. But when you look closer, you will see that his eyes are open, and there is a pool of blood in his chest. The blood, which had already solidified, was entrenched in the cat's chest, like a blood-colored peach blossom in full bloom.

"Man, break the door!" Bai Li closed his eyes, stabilized his mind, took a step back, pointed to the cat master's room and said, "Send someone to find Mr. back, this cat master is a little weird." ”

"The second one." The guy muttered.

"What did you say?" Bai Li opened his eyes and looked at the guy.

"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, the cat master is the second, the second demon to die in our intoxicated building like this." No wonder the guy Fang Cai's expression was so strange, it turned out that it was not the first time he had seen such a scene: "Madame, don't move, and don't touch this door again." The lady waited, and the little one went to find someone. Only one person can open this door. ”

"Who can open it?"

"Tao Yao, that is, the second peach master in our back kitchen. He is a thousand-year-old peach tree cultivator, and all the branches and branches are in charge of warding off evil spirits. ”

"Aren't you also a monster?" Bai Li stared at the guy in confusion: "If you are a demon beast, why are you afraid of demons?" ”

"Madame doesn't understand, the one who kills the cat master is different from ordinary demon beasts. This thing, ordinary demon beasts can't resist it. ”

"You haven't even gone in yet, how do you know that the cat is dead? Maybe he's just hurt. ”

"I'm not angry anymore, if Mrs. doesn't believe it, wait for Second Master Tao to open the door, and Mrs. will know at a glance." After the guy finished speaking, he hurriedly ran to the back kitchen, and after a while, he led the second master Tao to the door.

This second master of Tao is the chef of the second master of the Drunken Heart Building, before Bai Li came to the Drunken Heart Building to help, the guests who came to eat in this building were all for this second master of the Tao. He is humble and has the demeanor of an elder, even in the face of the airborne white glass, he also shows a lot of tolerance and patience.

In a word, Bai Li likes this second master of the peach very much.

Seeing Second Master Tao coming, Bai Li obediently stepped aside, "Second Master, you can see how to open this door." ”

"Madame, don't worry, look at the old one." The second master of Tao reached out to the crack in the door, and the tips of the five fingers immediately grew some soft peach branches. The peach branches entered the door along the crack of the door, and all the branches were wrapped around the latch of the door. I heard a "click", the latch hit the ground, and the door opened.

"Madame, please!" After the door opened, Second Master Tao naturally moved aside.

"Second master, come with me." Bai Li owed: "The second master knows, Bai Li is a mortal, and he has to rely on the second master when he encounters such a thing." ”

"Madame is gracious." Second Master Tao lowered his body and entered the guest room, his eyes swept over the cat master, and he said lightly: "The man is right, the cat master has already gone." ”

"Who killed him?" After Bai Li asked, he felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly added: "I mean, can you guess who or what kind of monster he was killed by just by the death of the cat master?" The drunken building is different from ordinary places, and it is difficult for ordinary idlers to enter. The cat master is not an ordinary guest, it is impossible to just sit like this, and kill him without even a little resistance. Second Master Tao, you are well-informed, can you guess who did this? ”

"Madame, have you ever heard of a dream tapir?"

"Dream tapirs?" Bai Li shook his head slightly: "No, I've only heard of nightmares." ”

"The dream tapir, also known as the dream tapir, is a legendary monster."

"It's a legend again......" Bai Li felt a headache, and said in his heart that this legendary demon beast doesn't only exist in legends, why did they jump out one by one as if they didn't want money. First is gluttony, then Bai Ze, followed by the nine-tailed fox and the white tiger. Well, now, even the dream tapir has come out.

"Second master, do you mean that this cat master was killed by the dream-eating tapir?"

"I didn't say that." Second Master Tao stroked his beard and said, "This dream tapir itself will not hurt people." According to legend, it will only ride the night wind from the jungle to the territory of mortals on a moonlit night, and live by sucking the nightmares of mortals. It can make a nice birdsong call, which has the effect of quickly making people fall asleep. It will first make you have a sweet dream, then turn it into a nightmare, and eat it while mortals are terrified. ”

"Is it good or bad?" Bai Li pondered.

"It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, it's just a dream-eating tapir." Second Master Tao stared at the bloodstains on the cat's chest: "Didn't you find it, the wound on the cat's chest was scratched out with his own claws." ”
