Because the Dingguang Bead in his arms had already sucked out the Qi of the Blazing Cloud Poison Bead from Wu Sanbao's body, Qing Huan finally decided to let this harmful crow who had been bent on avenging his benefactor for three hundred years have a way to live, so in the end, he just took action to abolish the seven successful powers in this crow's body, and did not hurt his life, but Qingyin was still angry under the anger and came back to the Wu family in the same anger as the previous time, and put a brand card on Wu Sanbao, who had just lost his breath, and punished him for being born in a poor family in the next life, He has always been paranoid that he aspires to the world but he didn't meet because of the injustice of heaven, and finally because of countless failed attempts to ask for introductions, he couldn't stand the stimulation and went crazy, becoming the biggest joke in the eyes of the neighbors.

"Oh, are you honestly believing that people in the world are divided into high and low, and it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son?" Qing Huan couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "If this is the case, wouldn't it become the biggest joke in your eyes for mortals to win the heavens?" he asked.

"Hmph, who said that the poor family can't produce a noble son, isn't Feng Xiaobao a noble son from a poor family, but you have also seen it, the noble son who came out of a poor family will be killed by his own pair of dementia and stupid biological parents in the end," Qingyin couldn't help but sneer coldly, "Although it is a hero who doesn't ask about his background, the problem is that if there is a stupid mother like Feng Xiaobao, no matter how high the martial arts are, the hero may not be able to survive until the day he becomes a hero," she said.

"Hey, it was originally a very sad thing, but, it seems that you are gloating about such a thing from the bottom of your heart," Qing Huan was helpless, "but it's no wonder that you didn't go down to the mortal world easily, whether you were on the Jade Butterfly Mountain or in the pure sky, and these red and mundane things in the mortal world are naturally just a moment of smoke in your eyes," he said.

......

......

Yuzhou City can faintly exude bursts of mysterious demonic aura in broad daylight, although Qing Huan has doubts in his heart, but it seems that the pedestrians and merchants who come and go in the inn are not concerned about it at all, and the recent anecdotes that have happened inside and outside Yuzhou City still seem to be only a piece of gossip on the wine table and dinner table today.

It's just that I didn't expect that the anecdote in the mouth of the innkeeper today turned out to be the rumor of a cheerful cat-faced woman who even Qingyin could listen to on the railing of the corridor in front of the upstairs guest room.

In fact, for a hundred years, in Zhuzi Village, Zhuzi Town, fifteen miles north outside the city of Yuzhou, there has been a creepy legend of a cat-faced woman, legend has it that this cat-faced woman has a human head and a cat face, hiding in the mountains during the day, and at night comes out to wander in the villages and towns near the left to harm people, she specializes in sneaking into the villagers' homes from the doors and windows in the backyard that are not closed, sucking people's essence and blood, eating people's skin, and the victim is often left with only a skinned rotten flesh when the sun comes out.

Later, somehow, this cat-faced woman gradually disappeared in Zhuzi Village, and never came out in the middle of the night to harm people, it is said that it was surrendered by a traveling monk who passed through here, I don't know where it is forbidden, and then the rumors about the cat-faced woman in Yuzhou City have gradually been forgotten, but who would have thought that just a few days ago, it was rumored that Tao Le, the sixteen-year-old daughter of a family surnamed Tao in Zhuzi Village, was found drowned in the well in her backyard early in the morning, because when everyone looked down from the well, they only saw her hair floating in the well water, and mistakenly thought that she fell into the well in the yard in the middle of the night, and hurriedly reached out to salvage her, but who would have thought that what was fished up was a rotten bone and rotten flesh that had been skinned, and the people in Zhuzi Village were suddenly panicked, and the rumored cat-faced woman began to come back to Zhuzi Village to harm people......

......

......

"Hey, what, such a fun thing, why do you still look like you're so distracted?" Qingyin leaned on the railing with great curiosity and twisted his head, "Didn't you already discover the demonic energy in Zhuzi Village the day before yesterday?" she asked.

"Princess, Qing Huan never thought that skinning was a fun thing," he said.

"That's different, we saw live mink skins in front of the leather shops in Yuzhou City before, but this time it was human skins alive, even if it was for those minks that were skinned alive, shouldn't we go down to order a table of wine and food to celebrate the current newspaper in this world?" she said with a sneer on her face.

"Princess, all living beings are equal, so this retribution in the world must not be God's wish,"

"Strange, are you very familiar with the world, I wanted to put a few soul casting spells on those mink skinners before, but you were not allowed, you seem to be a little eccentric about the equality of all beings," Qingyin was disgusted.

"Princess, the Soul Casting Charm will cast the souls of those mortals forever on the walls of the leather shops after their deaths, and such a punishment is too cruel," he said.

"Hmph, in that case, it's always fair to repay the price, so we should go downstairs now and order a table of wine and food to have a slow time, and let that cat-faced woman skin her in Zhuzi Village a few more times first," Qingyin sneered.

"Princess, how can you be sure that she won't continue to peel mink after skinning people?" Qing Huan was helpless, "Demons and evil are harmful, and heaven is intolerable, even if mortals are guilty, it is natural to kill demons and eliminate evil," he said.

"Hey, it's a pity that I've only skinned people once," Qingyin smirked, "although that Tao Le is only sixteen years old, but compared to those minks who are skinned before they are even a year old, she is really a big deal," she said.

(b)

The next day, Zhuzi Town, fifteen miles north of Yuzhou City, in Zhuzi Village.

Although it happened to be an auspicious day for this Tao Lehe to be mourned and put into the earth for peace, but because her death was too bizarre, so early in the morning, there were only a few scattered villagers who came to help carry the coffin, and almost all of them were those relatives who couldn't get in the way, and the neighbors didn't even have the courage to come out to see a lively scene, the whole Zhuzi Village was quiet, and there was only this dark coffin quietly moving forward on a big road leading to the cemetery in the village, but it looked a little bit different from the yang world in the world, but as if it was walking the ghost road of the underworld, until the coffin went away, A few women in the neighboring houses on the left and right streets of the Tao family dared to tilt their necks and poke their heads out of the crack in the door, and saw Qing Huan and Qingyin dressed in plain clothes in front of their doors, and couldn't help but whisper in curiosity if the two were Taoist priests who the Tao family paid to pay for the practice?

"Oh, I just happened to pass by, and when I saw the coffin passing in front of me, I couldn't help but stop and recite a few mantras for others," Qing Huan couldn't help but smile indifferently, "In the next Youfang Taoist priest, even if he is doing the Fa for others, how can he really accept money from people and ruin his cultivation," he said.

"Heh, Dao Master, you're a true cultivator," Several women saw that Qing Huan was willing to talk to them, and immediately became interested, and soon came out of their own door to gather around Qing Huan and Qingyin, and began to talk to them about the Tao family girl must have been killed by the rumored cat-faced woman, now the village is panicking, I don't know who the cat-faced woman is going to come to the village in the middle of the night to harm, the Tao family girl has already been married to a young man in the neighboring village, and it will be time to cross the door in March or May, who would have thought that Pingbai would encounter such a tragic thing, this cat-faced woman has not appeared in the village for more than a hundred years, why would she come to the village in the middle of the night to harm people now......

"Hey, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door," a woman said, "Who knows if this Tao family has done anything unethical on weekdays,"

"That's the same, there are so many sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls in the village, and the cat-faced woman is going to gnaw her, who knows what ugly things have been done behind her back,"

"Originally, karma will never be wrong, if you don't do anything immoral, you won't find her if you are unlucky,"

"Look at the family on East Street, they were already poor, and they were sick and sick, so they easily sold a few acres of land, scraped together some living money, and were cheated away, and the only person in the family who was in better shape went to work for others to make money, but they worked for a year in vain, not only did they not get paid, but they also made people lame, you said that this family had to do how many immoral things before to end up with such retribution now,"

"Also, the one on the West Street, the father ran away with another woman, the mother found another man to run, the grandparents collapsed on the bed again, there was a ten-year-old child left in the family who could walk and jump, this child went to a tofu factory in the neighboring village to support his grandparents, and the result was that he got up early and was greedy to grind tofu not to say, and let the owner fight every day, I heard that he would give him a spoonful of leftovers one day, he couldn't eat at all, he was skinny, let him sleep in the cattle pen at night in the summer, and let the mosquitoes bite him in the winter, let him strip naked and sleep on the well platform in winter, and often splashed cold water in the middle of the night, and then the child grew lice on his body in the summer and was not allowed to take a bath, within a few days, let the lice bite to death, after the death of a straw mat wrapped in a cemetery to feed the wild dogs, his grandparents starved to death in a few days, you say how many immoral things this family did in the last life......"

......

......

(c)

Because there were no useful clues about the cat-faced demon woman in the mouths of the women in the village, Qing Huan and Qingyin felt that since the cat-faced woman was the first to kill when she appeared in Zhuzi Village again, it was a sixteen-year-old girl of the Tao family, then maybe her next target should be which woman in the Tao family, and now there are only two women left in the Tao family, one is Tao Le's own mother, Mrs. Tao, and the other is the three-year-old girl Xiaole who was fostered by Mrs. Tao's mother.

Fortunately, because Xiaole is young, he now sleeps in the same bed with Mrs. Tao every night, Qing Huan decided to lie on the roof of Mrs. Tao's bedroom tonight, as long as he uncovers the roof of the room and keeps an eye on the movement in the house, he is not afraid that the cat-faced demon woman will not show her true body in front of her eyes, and according to the little yin left on Tao Le's coffin before, Qing Huan concluded that this cat-faced woman is by no means an ordinary tanuki essence, because once an ordinary goblin cultivates a human body, even if he has the intention to rely on absorbing the essence and blood of mortals to cultivate evil skills, he will never gnaw on the skin and flesh of mortals again, because he will be burned by the thunder and fire of the sky, and as long as he is a goblin, who is not afraid of the thunder and fire of the sky, do you really think that the sky has no eyes, so that an evil demon and evil spirit who only wants to kill and hurt lives can successfully survive the three tribulations of wind, fire and thunder?

......

......

At night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, the yin qi is pressing, in the sassy night wind, suddenly there is a burst of gloomy ghosts, only to see a dark black shadow really take advantage of the night eaves to walk over the back wall of the Tao family, weird and evil quietly jumped to the window outside Mrs. Tao's room, in the clouds, the moonlight is like frost for a moment, Qing Huan can see at a glance, this cat-faced woman really has a human head and a cat face as rumors in the world, the strange cat face is looking at Mrs. Tao who has been sleeping on the bed for a long time through the half-hidden window gloomily, Qing Huan immediately made a decision, two cold eyebrows frowned slightly, and the Qingyin on the side had already gently shaken his slender jade wrist, and the silver light in the Tao family courtyard suddenly scattered, I saw a bright silver web, which had been coldly covered by the cat-faced woman with a surprised face......

In a moment, the two of them had jumped from the roof to the cat-faced woman, in order not to wake up Mrs. Tao who was sleeping, Qinghuan took the weaving net with one hand and carried the cat-faced woman and jumped lightly, and had already come to the door of Tao's house, Qingyin had been waiting outside at that time, and the two took the net all the way to the forest outside the village, Qingyin asked the cat-faced woman slightly curiously whether she was a demon or a ghost, because she did have a little demonic energy, but obviously, this body was indeed a mortal body that had long been withered and decayed, and what kind of grudge did she have with that Tao Le, and after sucking up the essence and blood, she would have to gnaw off all the layers of her skin？

"Hmph, that's just her retribution, who let her rotten skin wear the princess phoenix cloak that she shouldn't have wore," the cat-faced woman suddenly laughed, "Although it fell into your hands, she still deserved that wicked girl surnamed Tao," she said.

......

......

"Hey, I think you used the rotten body of a mortal to mess up your own head," Qingyin wondered, "Although that Tao Le's family is quite wealthy, but you said that she wore a princess phoenix cloak, you know how much silver a princess phoenix cloak is, just the Tao family's furniture, I'm afraid that even a South China Sea shark bead on the princess phoenix cloak can't afford it," she said.

"Hmph, it's best to shut up if you don't know anything," the cat-faced woman suddenly became furious, "This body is a decayed mortal body in your eyes, but in Mao Mao's heart, it is very precious, and it can't be abandoned until death," she couldn't help but raise her head and glared at Qingyin fiercely as she spoke, "The tongue is so vicious, it's really a waste of spiritual energy." ”

"Hmph, who made this princess a little jade butterfly spirit who is only much more noble than you," Qingyin couldn't help but smile coldly when she heard this, "What, do you have the ability to send this princess to Vulture Mountain to be taught?" she asked.

"Okay, princess, it's important to get down to business," Qing Huan couldn't help but say indifferently on the side, "Why do you want to come here to harm people?" he asked, "What kind of grudge does a sixteen-year-old woman have against you, an old demon in the mountains?"

"Hmph, sixteen years old, isn't it sixteen years old, as long as I don't die for a day, she won't want to live past the age of sixteen in the next life,"

"What, you had a grudge in your previous life?"

"Hmph, in my previous life, thanks to the old bald donkey passing by, I don't know what she was in her previous life,"

"So, what is everything?" he asked.

"Well, it's a long story, but I'm not impatient if you want to hear it," she said.

(iv)

It turned out that this cat-faced woman was originally born to a stray female cat in Changyang Village outside Chang'an City, at that time it was still during the reign of Emperor Wu, there were two families in Changyang Village who were neighbors, and each family had a daughter of the same age, one was called Taohong, and the other was called Liulu, although Taohong did not look down on Liulu with a somewhat dull brain since she was a child, but because the children in the village did not like to play with Liulu, even if she was always teased by Taohong on weekdays, Liulu still came to Taohong every day to play together.

That year, Emperor Wu sealed a concubine named Li Meiren, Li Meiren had a strange dream on the night of the concubine, dreamed of a stunning and rare water and sky mandarin duck on the Yaochi Sendai, the second day to find the palace painter to describe what he saw in his dream truthfully, Emperor Wu then in order to please the concubine, he ordered the painter to distribute this painting to the left of Chang'an City near the state capitals and counties, and issued an emperor list notice, if there is a woman in the folk can embroider this water and sky mandarin duck wonder scene on the brocade silk, immediately named the princess of the five products, give the South China Sea shark pearl phoenix draped one.

As soon as the announcement of the emperor's list was issued, tens of millions of women in the prefectures, counties and counties near Chang'an City were eager to try, and they forgot to sleep and eat at home to weave and embroider water and mandarin duck brocade silks, thinking that they could be named princesses because of this, and ascend to the sky in one step.

Taohong was sixteen years old at the time, although she also wanted to be named a princess in her heart, but she had never practiced a little female red needlework since she was a child, so naturally she didn't even have the capital to try it once, and at that time the family also set a happy family affair for her, and her husband volunteered to come to the house to join the family, and Taohong didn't have to go to her mother-in-law's house to see her in-laws' face after getting married。

But at that time, the same sixteen-year-old Liu Lu was proficient in female red needlework since childhood, and was determined to embroider the water and sky mandarin duck brocade, embroidered for several months, but embroidered a few pieces in a row, at that time everyone thought that this matter was not true, just the emperor casually joked, so gradually no one paid attention to this matter anymore, and began to continue to live their own peaceful life.

But at this time, Liu Lu seemed to be a magic barrier, bent on embroidering the water and sky mandarin duck brocade, so it was embroidered for more than ten years, until her parents passed away one after another, and she never got married, because she never wanted anything else in addition to the water and sky mandarin duck brocade every day, and Taohong, who was the same age as her, had already had both children at this time, and other people of the same age in the village had already started their own families, but she only had the water and sky mandarin duck brocade in her heart, and she could no longer tolerate anything else.

Because she has not been married, everyone in the village often points fingers at Liu Lu behind her back, and talks about it, Tao Hong often uses Liu Lu as a reason that Liu Lu has never been married, and the days are easy for Liu Lu to help her take care of family affairs all day long, take care of her children, although Liu Lu is slightly angry in her heart, but because her mind is all on the water and sky mandarin duck brocade, she has not been much worried about Taohong, who would have thought that everyone in the village saw that Liu Lu often helped Tao Hong with housework, and gradually began to come to let Liu Lu do something for herself, although Liu Lu often felt that although she had never been married, but because she helped everyone do things every day, it seemed to be more tiring than those who were married, but when she thought that Shui Tian Mandarin Duck's splendid achievements could be named a princess, she felt that all her sacrifices and persistence were very worthwhile.

In this way, sixteen years passed in a flash, on this day, the water and sky mandarin duck brocade was finally completed, Liu Lu got up early in the morning and hurriedly put some baggage to prepare to go to Chang'an City to offer the water and mandarin duck brocade, but it happened that Taohong and her husband and her parents and children went to Chang'an City to buy goods for their own small grocery store on this day, and Liu Lu must come to the grocery store to take care of her, Liu Lu bluntly said that he was going to Chang'an City today to offer water and water mandarin duck brocade, unable to take care of the grocery store for Taohong, but Tao Hong has always thought that more than ten years have passed, and the water and sky mandarin duck brocade have long been forgotten by the emperor and the concubine, so he agreed to promise that as long as Liu Lu is willing to help take care of the grocery store, you can go to Chang'an City to buy goods to help Liu Lu to present the water and sky mandarin duck brocade to the emperor.

Liu Lu finally couldn't help the soft grinding and hard bubble of the peach and agreed, and after wrapping the water and sky mandarin duck brocade and handing it to Tao Hong, he concentrated on waiting for news in the grocery store of the peach family, but who would have thought that half a month later, a shocking news came to Changyang Village, Tao Hong has been named a five-grade princess by the emperor because of her meritorious service in offering water and water mandarin duck brocade, and she has been given a piece of Nanhai shark pearl and phoenix......

The peach family naturally never came back to Changyang Village, but bought a big house in Chang'an City, and before in front of the whole village swore that they would be able to embroider the water and the mandarin duck brocade to become the princess of Liu Lu but thus became the object of ridicule and shame of the whole village, Liu Lu later died alone at home alone, and she inadvertently brought back from outside the village a stray female cat born of the kitten Maomao, at that time has also become a dying old cat, a person and a cat almost at the same time to die, but unwilling to be the owner was deceived by the peach Mao Mao quietly drilled into the owner's body after the soul of the owner, became a cat-faced woman, and after practicing in the mountains for more than 100 years, she finally cultivated a strong demon method, and came to the world to look for the peach family to take revenge.

At that time, she relied on the demon method to find out that the whole family of this peach has been reincarnated in a village called Zhuzi Village outside Yuzhou City, so she quietly came to Zhuzi Village to gnaw those people one by one, but unfortunately, she was going to gnaw this peach and her old lady was reincarnated by an old monk who passed by with a bowl, and was locked in a dry well under the mountain behind Zhuzi Village, this pass is more than 100 years, and later because of the Western White Emperor's amnesty to the world, she was fortunate to escape from the dry well, and then looked for the peach and her mother reincarnated in the world, who would have thought that the two reincarnated again are still in this Zhuzi Village, that is, Tao Le, who was gnawed by her before, and Mrs. Tao, who is about to gnaw now, now that it is in the hands of Qinghuan and Qingyin, if she wants to kill her, she will be killed, but if she is given a chance to live, she will definitely go back to the Tao family to gnaw Mrs. Tao to avenge her master.
