Volume 1 The Change of the Northeast Immortal Gate Chapter 11 Black Cat
At this moment, I only felt my scalp tingling, where did this black cat come from!
I had just finished drawing a talisman on my cousin's door, and this black cat happened to appear in front of me? How could it be so coincidental!
Suddenly! The black cat moved, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared! I hurriedly rubbed my eyes, the black cat that was in front of me just now was gone!
Meow!
There was another terrible cat meow, and my pupils instantly shrank! For I saw a black shadow at the mouth of our alley, under the dim yellow lamp, and besides the black shadow, there were two green ghost fires next to it!
Wrong! It wasn't two green ghost fires at all, it was clearly the green light emitted by the black cat's eyes because of the reflection!
I was scared at the moment, and cold sweat began to break out on my forehead and palms. I suddenly realized that the shadow ...... Isn't that the female ghost?! This sudden change made me a little confused, so, the female ghost and the black cat, I couldn't get in touch with each other!
To be honest, I'm really flustered at the moment, and I don't dare to move around at will because of fear, for fear of revealing my flaws and being taken advantage of by these two evil things.
Meow! The black cat screamed again, a pair of green eyes stared at me, I looked at the two figures under the dim street lamp, I began to lose control of myself, raised my feet and began to walk slowly. At the moment I feel like I'm not myself anymore, and my brain is groggy. But I clearly saw that the black cat opened its mouth and showed a mouthful of fangs, staring at me with a smile on its face!
At this time, a mutation protruded! The moonlight and starlight in the sky shone on me, and I suddenly felt a warm current surging in my eyebrows, which made me stop.
By the way, the bag on my back is engraved with the twenty-eight constellations!
I shook my head, feeling a little unclear in my mind, like I was groggy after drinking too much, I was actually controlled by that cat?! I took out the thunder charm from my bag, and just made up my mind, only to find that the two shadows under the street lamp were gone!
Gone again! Just as they were silent when they appeared, and now they are silent and suddenly gone!
Where did it go?!
I felt like prey exposed in the open, and they were hunters hiding in the shadows waiting for a fatal blow. At this moment, I didn't dare to make any other movements, and carefully observed the surroundings, for fear that they would suddenly appear next to me.
It may have been a minute, or it could have been half an hour. My tense nerves finally relaxed completely, and they should have left after so long without any wind and grass.
I glanced up at the moon, which was already starting to drift a little away and wasn't hanging in the center.
"Whew." I gasped for air, my nerves were tense all the time, and one would feel mentally and physically exhausted.
I finally looked around again, and there was no sign of me, and then I turned and went home.
In fact, I couldn't stop beating the drums in my heart, afraid that they would suddenly catch up again, so I used the same technique to draw two town house charms on my door, and then I went home with peace of mind.
When I got home, I was physically and mentally exhausted, so I simply cleaned up and fell asleep.
In my sleep, I vaguely saw two large lanterns glowing green. What is that? I walked and walked in my dreams, and it was dark all around, and I couldn't see it at all, except for the two big lanterns with green light hanging high above, and I walked after the green light.
But no matter how I walked, I couldn't get under the pair of big green lanterns, so I simply didn't go. As soon as I sat down, I saw that the big green lanterns seemed to be closer to me.
Hey? Will this green lantern move forward on its own?
As soon as I thought about it, I wanted to stand up and take a closer look.
Suddenly the lanterns got closer and closer, and I saw something black under the two green lanterns. I became more and more curious about what this place was, and I unconsciously got closer and closer.
After walking about ten meters, I could see it clearly. I thought to myself, let me see which green lantern this is.
Meow! A cat's meow sounded like thunder on the ground, and I saw what kind of lantern it was, it was a pair of cat's eyes the size of a lantern! The black one turned out to be its nose! Because it was pitch black all around, it was also covered in black fur, so I only saw a pair of eyes!
It's a black cat as big as a two-story building!
"Ahh I screamed and sat up from the bed, the sweat of the bean was sliding down my head drop by drop, and I realized that it was just a dream.
I felt sore and a little sluggish, so I picked up the glass next to me and took two sips of water.
Wrong! I...... In our village...... There are more than 100 households in total, where do people raise black cats......? And that black cat from yesterday?
There are no black cats in our village at all!!
Black Cat ...... Female ghost ...... At this moment, I felt like my brain was about to explode, I seemed to have heard of it somewhere, but I couldn't remember it when I thought about it, and my brain was a real headache.
At this time, my mother just asked me to eat, and I didn't have much appetite, so I scribbled a few bites and asked my mother: "Mom, who in our village has a black cat?" ”
My mom glanced at me and said, "Why do you ask that thing, no one has a black cat." "I laughed and lied that I saw a black cat upstairs today, and I thought it was anyone's.
Really! No one in our village has a black cat. In the eyes of the older generation, black cats are equal to ghosts and evil things, so almost no one raises them, where did the black cat come from?!
My dad was eating in his mouth, and he was vaguely saying, "What a black cat and a white cat, that thing doesn't catch mice now!" If you want me to say that when the Sui Dynasty is killed, it will be over! ”
Sui Dynasty?!
My dad talked about the Sui Dynasty! yes, I said I thought I'd heard about it, but I just didn't remember it! Black cat, female ghost, I should have thought of it a long time ago!
During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, there was a person named Dugutuo, the word Li Xie. He likes to study ghosts, ghosts, gods, and witchcraft.
And Dugu Tuo's sister is Queen Dugu Jialuo. Later, both the empress and Yang Su's wife, Zheng, fell ill. At that time, I found a lot of palace doctors who couldn't see it well, and later invited some warlocks to take a look, and they all said that the disease was caused by a cat ghost.
Because Emperor Wen of Sui was the queen's half-brother and Dugutuo's wife was Yang Su's half-sister, he suspected that Dugu Tuo did it, and secretly ordered Dugu Tuo's brother Dugu Mu to enlighten him with family affection.
At the same time, the emperor sent people from the left and right to persuade him. Dugutuo could only argue that he hadn't done it.
The Son of Heaven Long Yan was furious and demoted his official position with a bang. Dugutuo then complained.
Later, Emperor Wen of Sui sent his left servant Gao Ying, Yang Yuan of Dali Temple and others to interrogate him, but Dugutuo kept saying that he had never done such a thing.
Dugutuo has a servant girl, she was originally from Dugutuo's mother's house, once served the cat ghost, often sacrificed to the cat ghost at night on the day of the child, and learned the art of witchcraft, so she secretly sent a message to tell Dugutuo that there was a way to save him.
At this time, Emperor Wen of Sui ordered the death penalty to Dugutuo and his wife because of Queen Dugu's serious illness. It's just that Dugutuo's younger brother went to the palace to beg bitterly, so the emperor spared him from death, just expelled him from his official status, and let his wife Yang become a nun.
Not long after Dugutuo returned home depressed, a message suddenly came - Dugutuo died!
No one knows how he died. Some people say that he was a cat ghost who was counterattacked, some people say that he committed suicide in fear of sin, and some people say that the emperor secretly killed him.
But later, many people said to the Son of Heaven that many people's homes were haunted by cats and ghosts, and many people died, and there was a lot of demonic atmosphere. There are also many old cats who listen to and learn from people like humans, and secretly share some secrets with some cats.
The Emperor ordered again to kill all the cats in the city. As a result, the whole country will never see a cat again.
In the wild history, Dugutuo has a grudge in his heart, thinking that he will definitely die. So the maidservant girl used the technique of the cat ghost to send a message to Dugu, saying that Dugu Tuo should hide among the black cats and escape home.
Later, Dugutuo asked the maidservant girl to perform witchcraft on him, making him turn into a cat ghost, and he escaped with the black cat. So later, after his physical body was sent home, he had no way to return to his physical body, so it didn't take long for the news that he was dead!
Dugutuo was resentful, and became one with the black cat, and since then he has become a cat ghost, killing people and taking their money every night. At the same time, he began to control other old cats, so that the cat demon of the Sui Dynasty was in trouble at that time!
Later, no one knew where Dugutuo went, but later in the Tang Dynasty and Tang Gaozu era, there were still rumors of cat demons. Tang Gaozu ordered: Those who create cat ghosts and teach cat ghosts are hanged; Family members or those who know but do not report it will all travel 3,000 miles.
During the Wu Zetian period, he also ordered the killing of all cats across the country and forbade anyone to raise cats. There is a record in the "Old Tang Book" that Shuren Liangdi was a prisoner for the first time, and scolded and said: May Awu be a mouse, and I will be a cat, and I will choke his throat alive! Empress Wu is angry, and he is not a cat in the palace.
said that Concubine Xiao Shu scolded Wu Zetian when she was imprisoned, hoping that Wu Zetian would become a mouse, and she would become a cat in the next life and strangle Wu Zetian! Because cats and ghosts have been prevalent since the Sui Dynasty, Wu Zetian is also well aware of the harm, so it is also forbidden to raise cats across the country.
Since then, there have been almost many cat ghosts in history, and even in modern times, there are "cat-faced old ladies". And how long Dugutuo lived, no one knows.
Straight to the point.
My dad mentioned it casually, and I suddenly remembered that it was too similar to the situation of the cat ghost! But what about that female ghost? Why are you with a cat ghost?
At this moment, I have already decided that the black cat is definitely a cat ghost!
Then I hurriedly got up, and my mother asked me what I was doing, why did I run away before I finished eating. I smiled and said I was full, and then I hurried towards the market, it was only morning, and I had enough time to prepare!
Don't ask me why I'm suddenly so excited! Because when you already know where it came from, your fears will be half dispelled, especially ...... Hmph, I've been through those things since I was a kid, and I've always loved studying all kinds of ghost things. Of course, I also knew about this cat ghost, but I didn't expect it without turning my brain.
In a few moments, I was already running to the bazaar, and I was looking for what I was looking for.
I wiped the sweat from my head and ran to three markets and four Chinese medicine shops in a row before I finally got what I needed to use.
As soon as I got home, my dad was about to go out, and when he saw me carrying some messy things, he kicked them over, and scolded in his mouth: "If you don't fight for something, you know how to spend money indiscriminately!" Go and go, and when I go home, I don't know how to put incense on our immortal family! ”
As soon as my dad reminded me, I remembered that I still have a family fairy!
I smiled at my dad, threw the things I bought, and went to light a pillar of incense for my family's Baojiaxian. This Baojiaxian is when I was a child, Aunt Liu invited my family, usually every New Year's festival will also be enshrined, this time I came in a hurry, forgot to go to the pillar incense to report a safe home.
I put on the incense and muttered to him to protect me, and then went back to my room.
Acacia seeds, castor beans, croton, cinnabar, cockscomb blood...... Looking at the things in front of me, my heart instantly settled down, with these, I can definitely clean up that cat ghost!
By the way, there is still a shortage of brushes and rune paper! I got up again and ran to the front of the altar to get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and then I saw all the patriarchs on the altar in my house, so I stopped first and respectfully kowtowed to them with incense.
I'm so stupid, my own ancestors can forget! After I finished the incense, I went back and kowtowed respectfully three times, and then I was ready to use the talisman for the evening.
Smack.
I turned my head sharply, and the token on the table actually collapsed! I felt it, there was no wind, why did the token fall? I thought to myself that maybe it wasn't put away, so I walked over and put the token back in before turning back to my room.
Smack!
Poured again! At this moment, my forehead began to sweat densely, and the hairs on my back were also standing up in shock, so that I didn't even dare to look back, for fear that when I turned around, a pair of green eyes were staring at me!
I swallowed hard, pinched a sword trick in my hand, and turned to look at it in an instant.
Nothing!
What's going on? I walked up to the statue of the patriarch again and picked up the token in confusion. In this case, it is impossible to be fine, if it is not for something to make trouble...... That means it's my patriarch reminding me!
I suddenly figured it out, it turned out that my ancestor was reminding me!
I hurriedly ran to the front of the altar again, kowtowed respectfully a few times, and then pinched the mantra and asked the patriarch. Then I took out two copper coins and planned to "ask for directions" to see what my ancestor wanted to tell me.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
The sweat on my forehead is dripping more and more at the moment, and what my ancestor wanted to tell me is that I have been detained without realizing it!
And that soul is hidden under the three big locust trees at the entrance of our village!
