Chapter 62. The ghost of the cat

Although I couldn't disobey Master's orders, deep down, I still resisted a little. Especially when I learned that this frail but living old woman in front of me was going to die in a few days, for her, she didn't know at all, but for me, these days from this moment on, were waiting for the time of her death.

Life is so strange, everyone struggles in their own way from birth, but everyone is waiting for death from the moment they are born. Whether it is born for the sake of death, or whether it is to die for the sake of being born. This kind of seemingly philosophical question is obviously not understood by a person like me, who has only studied a little bit of old science. So I could only agree to Master, and while Granny Yang hadn't woken up yet, I watched Master walk down the mountain.

Granny Yang dozed off this time and didn't wake up until the evening. Halfway through, I was thinking about how to deal with the old cat's ghost. Since I can't communicate, I can't make it feel like I'm intended. Just now, when I pulled Granny Yang out from under the bed, the ghost of the old cat escaped from my moment, and the reason why I fled must be because of fear.

Therefore, if I want to forcibly capture it, it is estimated that it will be more difficult, and if I send troops and horses to capture it, I may lose my soldiers and horses because of this. So I thought about it for a long time and decided to make a "parasitic" for Granny Yang.

The so-called "parasiticism" is, simply put, a kind of blindfolding. If a person is haunted by a ghost, and the ghost itself is not highly intelligent, such as a cat or dog, it is possible to use charms and spells to make the ghost temporarily think that the so-called "parasitic" is the person who is haunted.

It's not so much a ritual as a kind of vaudeville in the form of metaphysics, which itself is not difficult to learn, only a spell, a charm, and a container for "parasitism", but because this spell has no practical use, it basically has no other use than to coax the souls of those children. I didn't expect that this most boring spell I had ever learned would be able to help me at this moment.

When Granny Yang woke up, she found that Master was gone, so she asked me where I had gone. I said hesitantly, Master went down the mountain to do something else, and I would just leave it to me here. We've found out that the strange thing you encountered in your family is because of your old cat. The old cat may have died a long time ago, but because the cat is very homely, it often comes back to see you and accompany you, so it makes some noise in the house. However, the animal has always been out of proportion, and gradually affects your body, so after you went to the kitchen just now, you have no memory, and then you wake up and somehow get under the bed.

I first told her that the old cat was dead, and I knew that she might be a little sad, so I made the result a little serious to divert Granny Yang's attention. After all, a woman who has died of a man and a child should not have much emotional fluctuation if she dies a cat at this moment.

Sure enough, Granny Yang sighed and said that this old cat has been with her for so many years, and she doesn't know where she died in the end. I hope that the little master will treat it well and let it go more peacefully.

Granny Yang saw that it was not too early, so she planned to cook for me to eat, and she told me that there was nothing good to eat at home, and it was all coarse tea and light rice. I didn't doubt her in the slightest, because it was a rough enough meal. After eating, it was already dark, and I knew that Granny Yang might usually go to bed earlier, so before she went to bed, I lied to her that there was dust on her head, and took the opportunity to tear off a piece of Granny Yang's white hair. When Granny Yang was about to go to bed, I specially told her not to close the door, I will guard in the hall, you sleep tonight, I will catch my ghost, and there will be nothing tomorrow morning. So after she slept, I found some firewood on the edge of the firewood room, and put a few together and tied them with ropes, and barely made a human figure.

At the head of the humanoid, I used a firewood knife to cut a small slit and sandwiched Granny Yang's hair in it. Then I took out the pen and ink rune paper, drew a rune, and read it as I drew it:

"Wear the sky on your head, and walk on the place. The crown is with nine gases, and it is knotted into a garment. The sun is a round image, and the moon is a full light. Dressed in Beidou, six armor and nine chapters. Left Peng Hekui, right leaning on Tiangang. It can subdue all evil and destroy the ominous. Haste as a law. ”

When I was done, I went into it again, put the charm in my pocket and kept it in hand, and then put the little wooden figure tied up outside the door of the hall.

This spell, known as the "Incarnation Spell", is used in a desperate way to divert the attention of the enemy in order to protect himself. It's like dressing a dummy in real clothes and making the enemies think it's a real person. This spell first originated from the grass man method in the ancient law of Maoshan, but with the evolution and localization, it gradually did not have the subtlety of the original spell. It is said that the original straw man method, paper man method, etc., can not only allow these straw man paper figures to become the mage's own stand-in, but also be able to move and walk like people, and even allow soft things such as paper men and straw men to carry thousands of pounds of boulders. I don't know if it's true or not, because I've never seen it, but even if it's rumored to be exaggerated, it's enough to see the subtlety of this spell.

Then I opened the wooden door of the hall so that the inside and the outside could be connected in one go, and then planted three unlit incense sticks on the ground outside the wooden door. Then I hung the bell on the lintel of Granny Yang's bedroom.

The rest of the time, I'll have to wait. While waiting, I kept reciting the golden light mantra to myself. At about 11 o'clock in the night, there was a snoring sound from Granny Yang in the house, but other than that, it was quiet all around. As the saying goes, dozing off is contagious, and when I heard Granny Yang's snoring, I also began to feel a little drowsy, and I accidentally fell asleep several times, and then I woke up with a crooked body.

At this moment, the bell on the lintel came the sound of a soft jingling bell. In the night, such a small sound could easily be heard, so I woke up and immediately turned my head to see the three sticks of incense that had been planted in the doorway, one of which had fallen to the ground. I know, it's coming.

So I immediately went to the door, picked up the fallen incense, and quickly lit it. Then he put the avatar charm in the bag on the wooden figure that had been tied. I held my breath and listened quietly to the movement in the house, but I didn't hear anything, maybe it was true that the cat walked without a sound. At this moment, a "meow~~" sound came from my ear.

This sound is basically the same as the cat meow I heard when I was looking for Granny Yang before, but it can be clearly distinguished that it is not a person learning to meow, but the meow of the cat itself. Originally, I thought that when I put on the charm, even if I heard the cat's meow, it should have come from the defense line of the wooden people, but now it is in my ears. Instinctively, I quickly turned my head to look in the direction from which the voice came, and in the darkness outside the door, I saw only two glowing eyes in a round black shadow.

It was a cat's eye, and there was nothing wrong with it, maybe it sensed that I was dealing with it, and it was so angry that I could see it. I didn't have time to think about it and hit it with the purple micro on the palm of my hand, but the human movement was always not as fast as the cat, I only heard a "meow" low roar, and then the black shadow of the old cat dispersed like smoke, so that at the same time my face suddenly hurt, I couldn't help but scream, and when I came back to my senses, the old cat was gone.

There was a sharp pain on the right side of my face, and the cool sticky feeling of being blown by the night breeze, and when I reached out and touched it, my hand was covered in blood. I knew that my face had been scratched by a sharp cat's claw, which was not a major injury in itself, and it was a big deal to leave a scar, but I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw so much blood. So I grabbed the wooden figure and prepared to drag it to the house, and lit a fire to burn the wooden figure, but I found that the wooden figure, which could be lifted with one hand, was now like another force was tugging with me, and it was also dragging the wooden figure, and I couldn't pull it at once.

At the moment, I felt that I was a child who had been fooled by an old liar, and Master left me to deal with it because he knew my craft and knew that I could solve this matter. But he didn't expect this cat to be so powerful, originally after I put on the incarnation charm, the cat would take the wooden man as Granny Yang, but now, it seems to be aware of my small actions, knowing that I am lying to it, not only did not fall for it, but became angry.

So I could only give up the wooden man, if I snatched it again, it is estimated that the other side of the face will also be painted, I let go of the hand that grabbed the wooden man, and jumped into the room where there was a light, just the moment I let go, the wooden man seemed to lose his strength, and popped out of my palm two or three meters away.

I stood in the room with my heart racing, and the pain in my face irritated my nerves. I kept cheering myself up, telling myself that you can do it, and that even the more powerful ghosts can be cleaned up, and that you are still afraid of this beast? When I thought of this, I wiped the blood on my face with my sleeve, and planned to go out and snatch the wooden man back, at this time, a cat meow came from behind me again, but this time it was someone who was learning to meow, I thought to myself that this time it was broken, and the old cat was still attached to Granny Yang's body.

I hurried towards Granny Yang's bedroom, and as soon as I ran to her door, I saw her wearing only sleeping clothes, barefoot, round eyes, hands propped on the ground, and limbs rushing towards me.

At that moment, I was scared a lot, with Granny Yang's age, she would walk slowly, let alone use her limbs together that she would not use several times in her life. She was like a cat running, very fast towards me, I subconsciously sideways out of the way, she directly passed by my side, towards the direction of the outside of the house, seeing this situation, I didn't have time to think about it, suddenly rushed towards Granny Yang, belly hit the ground, both hands grabbed the ankle of one of her feet.

But she didn't mean to stop, but dragged me out of the house with a great force. I should be glad that the threshold of Granny Yang's house is not high, otherwise I would have broken my head when I walked through the door. But I didn't let go, so I was dragged for a long distance by Granny Yang, who was running like an animal, and hit the ground so violently that I couldn't tell the direction at all.

Finally she stopped, and before I could catch my breath, Granny Yang suddenly turned around and bit the back of my hand that grabbed her ankle.
