"The cat demon has appeared—"

With a panicked shout, the sound of gongs and drums like a torrential rain resounded all over the streets.

Knock knock.

Following the sound of gongs and drums, dozens of soapy clothes from the county government rushed over with knives and guns, and there were more than a dozen crossbowmen specially invited from the military camp by the county commander behind them.

"Kill!"

The catcher in the front row is holding a half-human-high tooth shield, and the hideous portrait of the ancient god general Fang Bi Fang Xiang who exorcises ghosts and wards off evil spirits is painted. These two brothers were famous generals in the Yin Shang period, and they killed countless people in the Quartet, so later generations painted portraits of the two to ward off evil spirits.

"Kill!"

The catcher in the middle is holding a Xueliang fast knife, wearing a red scarf, and his face is outlined with cinnabar mixed with rooster blood, which looks indescribably powerful and domineering.

"Kill!"

In the back row, there are strong men holding red tasseled spears, they are all shirtless, the muscles and muscles on their bodies are all bulging, and each person has a red official seal pattern under the back of their necks, and the content is the "Qingtian County Seal" pieced together by four peculiar small seals.

This place is Qingtian County.

Moreover, this place has been a goblin for three whole months. I only know that it is a cat demon, and the others don't know. In addition, Qingtian County is already poor, and the previous county magistrate resigned hastily, and suddenly it became a situation where no one cares and no one asks.

The people in this county have scraped together a few silver taels and invited monks and Taoists to catch demons twice. The monk did a big thing, claiming that the demon had been ambushed, so he rolled up the silver and ran away and could not be found again. The Taoist priest was a bit of a Taoist cultivator, but unfortunately he fought twice, and finally died tragically at the hands of the goblin.

The people had no choice but to close the doors and windows at night, and every household did not even dare to light the lights, and this situation lasted for half a month, until the new county magistrate arrived and began to hunt demons.

Speaking of which, this county order is also a little bold, he dared to set a trap, arranged for all the officials in the yamen to be ambushed in advance, and waited for the goblin to take the bait.

Today, it just so happened that the goblin took the bait.

"Meow—"

A terrible cat meow, and a black shadow ran from the other side of the street. The shadow was the size of a buffalo, and it was moving rapidly through the barely lit streets.

"Fire."

The new county commander, who seemed to be very young, did not panic in the face of the demon at all, he just clenched the ancestral sword in his hand, and tried his best to widen his eyes, catching the traces of the cat demon.

It wasn't until he saw that the cat demon had almost reached the place where the trap had been set in advance that he shouted:

"Fire!"

At the sound of the order, countless people suddenly stood up on the walls on both sides of the street, all of them were carefully selected strong men from the county, and they were holding two huge special torches, where the bright and scorching flames flickered and danced.

Hey!

With a shout, those strong men threw out the torches in their hands one after another, but not in the direction of the cat demon, but in the place behind the cat demon.

Numerous torches piled up behind the cat demon, turning into a wall of flames that soared into the sky. This can be regarded as directly cutting off the back road of the cat demon.

The bright fire also illuminated the appearance of the cat demon who had been in chaos in Qingtian County for three months.

A pure black cat demon that is really bigger than a cow and stronger, with no vertical and horizontal patterns on its body, and no "king" on the top of its head, plus it is completely the roar of a cat's meow.

All of them show that this is a black cat that has become a sperm.

"Meow—"

A large mouth full of sharp teeth, with a disgusting fishy smell.

The cyclone, which had almost condensed into black, swirled and hit the front row of tooth shields. The sound of stabbing and clattering came to my ears, and the edges of the tooth shield made of fine iron showed signs of corrosion.

The soldiers in the back two rows were even swayed by the demonic wind, and some of them even felt a stream of fishy gas gushing out from under their mouths.

The young county commander was also a little uncomfortable, his body shook a little, and he quickly stood still. Not because of his martial arts, but because of the fish bag he had hidden in his waist.

The thing exuded a brilliant jade color through the fish bag, and the three inches of light actually dispersed the black demon wind, and the demon wind was not allowed to enter within three feet.

It was the county seal of Qingtian County.

It is carved by the Heavenly Master from the white jade of Dongshan when the Great Qi State was in power. According to legend, each of these seals contains a spell carved by the Great Qi Heavenly Master with essence blood, and this seal alone can make ordinary sneaky people not get close.

"Phew! Bold demons, this official must get rid of you today. ”

The county commander simply threw down his sword and took out the Qingtian County Seal from the fish bag on his waist.

The county seal is carved from white jade, the whole body exudes a shining light, and an unknown jade beast squatting is carved on it. It has a jade on its head and a mane on its neck, and sits quietly on a round platform with its eyes closed.

The county commander held the county seal with both hands, bit the tip of his tongue violently, and then sprayed a mouthful of blood on the jade beast. This is a secret technique passed down by word of mouth among officials, and it is said that the blood on the tip of the tongue of pure yang can evoke the mysterious power contained in the county seal.

Stained with blood, the light emitted by the county seal of that party was even better. The county commander raised his hands above the top, and his lips and teeth were full of blood:

"Please help me and kill this demon!"

As soon as these words came out, the jade beast on the seal of that county slowly opened its eyes.

The cat demon saw that it was not good, and as soon as the sturdy hind legs were forced, the whole body rushed forward. Several shield-wielding servants in front of him were directly knocked to the ground, and the people behind hurriedly waved the knives and guns in their hands when they saw this, and beckoned to the cat demon.

But it was useless, the originally extremely sharp knives and guns couldn't even pierce the fur of the cat demon.

"Protect your lordship!"

Knowing that it was useless, knowing that they were going to die, those officials still rushed forward one after another.

The sound of the bowstring sounded, and the armor-piercing arrows of the army's characteristics were terrifying to the enemy on the battlefield, and they could penetrate the armor within a hundred steps.

And now, the archer was only about fifty paces away from the cat demon.

With the sound of the wind tearing, the armor-piercing arrow pierced into the cat demon's fur. It's a pity that the arrow has just been pierced, and the long arrow body behind it has not entered at all, and the cat demon just shook his body a few times, and the arrow feathers that were finally pierced into it also fell.

This beast has such a hard fur!

All the officials fell, and when those archers saw this, they also put down their bows and arrows, and lifting the wide Mo knife was a chop.

Don't underestimate the archers, these archers who can shoot a three-stone bow in the barracks are all tall and strong men with amazing arm strength. If they were in the middle of the army, they could split the enemy's cavalry in half with their swords.

Boom! The wide Mo knife smashed on the cat demon's forehead, and a bright spark burst out.

At this moment, a deafening roar was heard.

The cat demon seemed to have been immobilized, and froze in place. Even though the claws of its limbs popped out, easily slicing through the ground, it couldn't take a step forward no matter how much it struggled.

The jade beast opened its eyes, and its pupils, which were stained red by the blood of the county order, stared at the cat demon not far away for a moment. The sharp teeth between the lips and teeth collided with a chilling crunch.

The county seal was windless and automatic, and floated directly above the cat demon.

Then in the blink of an eye, the county seal that was no more than the size of a palm turned out to be the size of a millstone, and the jade beast squatting on it was even more lifelike.

The county seal fell, and the invisible pressure first pressed a boxy seal on the ground.

"Come on, follow me to punish the demon!"

The county commander drew the family heirloom sword on the side, took the first two steps to the cat demon's side, and then raised the sword and stabbed it fiercely.

The sharp blade of the sword easily cut through the fur of the cat demon, which was originally a few points harder than iron, this time. With a bang, the flesh and skin flipped open, and the blood mixed with bursts of jet-black demonic qi spread.

Seeing this, the officials who were barely able to get up on the side also gritted their teeth and forced themselves to stand up, picked up the knife on the ground, and staggered over to help.

The wide Mo knife, the sharp sword, and the snowy waist knife, every time they are raised and fallen, they can bring a gust of fishy wind.

The boxy seals formed an informable and insubstantial hard cell, which could allow the swords and guns of the county officials to enter and exit, but they could not let the cat demon struggle for half a point.

The black demon mist rose up, rising and touching the white jade seal, making a clattering sound.

The cat demon's roar became smaller and quieter, and after about an hour, it was completely silent.

The county magistrate and the official were tired and sweating, and when they saw the cat demon lying motionless on the ground, as if they had lost their breath, they put down the sword in their hands and planned to rest.

But they didn't see that small cracks had appeared in the corners of the county seal floating above, and the fierce jade beast that was originally glaring angrily at the top gradually closed its eyes.

"Your Excellency...... What is going to happen to this beast? ”

The head of the third shift and six rooms came over and asked for instructions on the next step.

"Wait until dawn, tell the people to prepare more firewood and oil, and we will burn this demon."

The county commander was so tired that his hands trembled, but he still had an extremely clear mind to say the next plan. He simply sat directly on the ground, and the officials on the side also sat on the ground staggered when they saw this.

Looking up at the east, there was a faint hint of fish belly white rising in the sky.

It's about to dawn.

But at this moment, a mutation protruded.

Click, click

"It's not good, I can't wait for dawn, hurry up, go find firewood and oil, and immediately set it on fire and burn it to death."

The county magistrate shouted, and several officials around him quickly went to the people's houses to look for something to start the fire.

But it was too late.

With the last crisp sound, the Fang County Seal swayed back to the size of a palm, gathered all the light, became much dimmer, and then fell straight down.

Below is the layers of black mist emitted by the cat demon.

Bang, the county seal was whipped into the distance with a tail.

Meow –

A black shadow leaped out of the black mist, and it was the black cat.

It was also badly wounded, with countless wounds all over its body, but it still slammed its hind legs and ran westward like an arrow off the string.

"My lord, the demon has run away! We ......"

The county commander struggled to stand up, but his whole body was as if he had been drained of his strength, and he couldn't use any strength at all. He looked around and saw that all the servants were in the same situation.

It must have been caused by inhaling too much demonic energy.

"Forget it, forgive that demon and don't dare to make it again, tell my brother to recuperate."

"Yes, sir."

……

In the woods far away from the county seat to the west, the huge black cat demon lay deep in the grass, and the many wounds on his body that were originally cut by the sword were gradually healed under the effect of the black demon qi.

At this time, a soft humming voice suddenly came:

"How chic and comfortable I am, I don't go to Zen and I don't worship the immortals, invite the moon to drink a few cups, and embrace the sun and dream ......"

In the middle of the mountain path, a man dressed in a strange costume came.

The man wore a golden crown on his head, a black and white robe, with a black left sleeve and a white right sleeve, and a delicate jade hanging from his waist.

In his right hand, he also carried a red wine gourd, and when he opened the stopper, an enticing aroma of wine wafted out of it.

"The world doesn't know who I am, but it says that the immortals have come down to earth again......"

"Hey, why is there a little black cat here? Come on, come on, let me see. ”

The man in strange clothes walked over with a drunken look, and he looked up and down the seriously injured black cat demon in a drunken daze.

Roar!

The cat demon barely opened its mouth wide and let out a feeble roar, as if it wanted to scare away the strange person in front of him.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, I see."

Far from being deterred, the man nodded earnestly as if he understood something, and then he stretched out his left hand and gently stroked the top of the black cat's head three times:

"Girl, you've suffered."

Meow.

The black cat actually lowered its head, whimpered a few times in its mouth, as if crying aggrievedly, and a few tears fell from the corners of its eyes.
