Chapter 56 The cat's salesman's eyes are clear and confused (ask for a monthly pass~)
A lot of relevant knowledge instantly appeared in Du Kang's mind.
The black cat, a kind of evil spirits that has been passed down from ancient times to modern times, was believed to be able to drive away evil spirits in ancient China, because whenever a disaster came, it would appear, similar to the role of crows and black dogs.
Among them, the crow was a sacred bird representing auspiciousness and prophecy in the folk culture before the Tang Dynasty. After the Tang Dynasty, there were remarks symbolizing "disaster", and there were some contradictions, but Xuanmao was as always, until now.
And abroad is just the opposite, foreign countries can't tell what is a black cat and what is a black cat, in short, the two are mixed together and compared with witches, and black cats and black cats have become synonymous with evil and bad luck. Since modern times, because of the cultural output mixed in various film and television works, most people in China think that the Xuanmao is ominous.
From another point of view, this can be regarded as a success in allowing Xuanmao to avoid being treated like the black dog from being reduced to the "black dog blood" that provides exorcism materials in various supernatural films...... Of course, the scarcity of the cats themselves and the rarity of them is also one of the main reasons.
"Now it seems that there is someone else...... What is it going to do? Du Kang muttered.
Under the gaze of Du Kang, Shi Yuye, and Ji Shen, the Xuan Cat was walking on the ground with light and elegant steps, looking east and west, as if he was patrolling his territory.
Two wisps of green smoke sank down and sank into the body of the Xuan Mao. The cat squinted with pleasure, pressed its front legs on the ground, stretched out its paws and grasped it, stood still on its hind legs, and then helped its forelimbs down, its hind legs cocked, and its long tail stretched straight. After a standard cat stretching and lazy movement, the cat returned to normal, and the movements appeared more light and lively, and then the official work began.
Then, the two gods watched as the cat, with great purpose, first went to the east and took out the few nests of mice; Go south and slap a colony of termites to death with a cat's claw; Go to the west and remove the remaining bugs from a few trees; Finally to the north...... Going to the toilet and leaving a smell is the usual method used by the beasts to mark their territory. Du Kang's spiritual power swept and found that there was indeed a group of monkeys in that direction.
"Definitely not it!"
After this set of actions, Ji Shen's eyes looking at Xuan Mao were already full of appreciation, and the words were categorical.
"Such unpretentious work, protecting crops, it is absolutely impossible to be the mastermind behind the Gu worms in the pears!"
Du Kang and Shi Yuye both nodded in agreement, they couldn't refute Ji Shen in this kind of thing that involved their own work and professionalism.
Of course, they do think so - whoever comes out at night to repel insects and rats and drive animals will still be bad cats!
"Could it be that the Taoist priest is really deliberately retaliating?" Du Kang said thoughtfully.
"Just ask the cat first, maybe he knows something, and by the way, I'm curious about what it's all about...... The cats who help grow pears are so interesting! Shi Yuye was very moved.
"I wonder why it behaves the way it does here, the mountain god of the mountain, but it doesn't come to it."
The god said, "In the case of obscenity, the consequences can be serious or light. Severely, it is to cut off the way or to punish atonement; At the blightest, it is a warning and admonishment, and do not repeat it again. It depends on the situation, this black cat is guilty of not knowing at most, if that's the case, I'll protect it. ”
So, Xuanmao solved the personal ...... After the cat's physiological problems, when they were about to leave, they were blocked by Du Kang and them.
"Meow?!" The black cat raised its fur vigilantly and looked at the three uninvited guests who suddenly appeared in front of him.
One is a "woman", one is a "man", and the other is an "old man". Xuanmao used the name he had just learned not long ago to name the three uninvited guests, and at the same time, he clearly realized that the three of them had no ill will towards him, but with a full sense of affinity.
"Meow ......" The black cat thought about it, the exploded fur relaxed again, and stuck to the body, looking as smooth as silk, oily and shiny, and meowed a few times, in fact, adjusting the voice, probably similar to a human coughing twice before speaking to clear his throat, and then said, "You guys...... Was that guy introduced? ”
The voice doesn't sound like it can distinguish between men and women, and it has an ethereal feeling.
Then, before Du Kang could answer, the black cat continued: "Let's talk about it first, what I'm best at is catching mice and repelling insects and animals, but it's limited to some small animals, and I can't beat them if they're too big, and then it's impossible to let me help him plant trees like that guy." Of course, there are a lot of you, and if you give me a lot of things called 'incense', I can't learn it, I just don't know how long it will take, but I'm very smart. If you don't have 'incense', you can give me some fish, but in that case the fish will be bigger and bigger......"
Du Kang's eyes are strange, and the scene of introducing business capabilities is actually very common, but now it is a cat who introduces business, so it is not very common! And then there's this act of being careful to keep widening the lower limit on its own...... At first glance, it is a basic pure newbie!
Veterans are generally "don't ask, ask is to see that you are so handsome/beautiful so the cost price is cheap for you", and when you bid, it is "Oh, I can't sell it, so I want to lose money, the boss will add more", if you insist on it, "Alas, sell it, sell it, sell it at a loss", and then wait until the customer leaves, and make a few times more than ten times......
"We're not here to ask you to do something...... By the way, what are you going to call you? Du Kang had to interrupt the cat, if it continued like this, he didn't know how long it would go on and on.
"Oh, you didn't come to invite me...... some disappointment could be clearly heard in Xuanmao's tone, but he didn't turn around and leave, probably with the same insistence as the business salesman - as long as he could talk, there would be drama.
It squatted on the spot, its tail flicking back and forth, and its head tilted, as if thinking, "What is my name...... I don't know what my name is, but the person who planted pears called me Shankun, and it sounded okay. ”
"Mountain Lord is not a name, it is the title of a god's position. If it weren't for the imperial court or the heavenly court, it would not be able to be called this name. Shi Yuye patiently explained to the Xuan Mao.
Xuanmao tilted his head, and his eyes revealed a clear confusion: "Although I don't know what the 'gods', 'imperial court', and 'heavenly court' you are talking about, but since you can't use it, then I don't need it." ”
Shi Yuye: "......"
"Why don't I give you a name?" Du Kang played a round and said casually.
It would be unwise to explain these systems to a mysterious cat that is estimated to be a natural essence in the mountains, which is similar to explaining the principle of the operation of the space elevator to primitive people...... Du Kang doesn't mind if he has time, after all, it's fun to chat with a cat. But now, he still wanted to try to see if he could get any useful information from the Xuan Mao, and catch the mastermind behind the spirit Gu worm that put the spirit worm in the pear as soon as possible.
"......" The black cat didn't answer immediately, it stood up, walked in front of Du Kang, looked up at Du Kang for a while, then circled around Du Kang, sniffed closely, and then returned to Du Kang, "I like your taste very much, okay, what name are you going to give me?" ”
Xuan Mao's slightly solemn movements, coupled with the gaze with a certain meaning thrown by Ji Shen and Shi Yuye at the same time, made Du Kang realize that something was not quite right.
"Well, let me ask first, ...... name," Du Kang asked in a low voice, "does it mean anything?" ”
PS: Ask for a monthly pass! There are still dozens of them left! It's just a few dozen shots, brothers!
