Chapter 193
"You just rest here! If you don't know anything about specific things, just come to me when the time comes. "The ancient book said, as if it was about to leave my side.
"No, no, can you talk properly? I listen to you, you seem to be leaving? No, I don't know anything, you're leaving, are you mistaken?" I said helplessly. Oh my God, they took me to this place, told me a few stories, and then threw me in this place. It's good now, I can't look for it when I'm fine, and I don't know who to look for when I have something to do now!
"What do you want to know? Didn't I tell you very clearly just now? Ying Ning and Xin Shi Niang. You have to bring these two characters back to me, because Mr. Pu Songling's book can't miss the two of them. Also, solve the absurd bird, try to solve it, if it really doesn't work, let him go back. Otherwise, what will become of the Demon Hunting Bureau in the future, I really don't dare to promise you!"
I'm really speechless, listening to the meaning of this ancient book, if I don't solve it well, then in the end, you have to blame me!" I just want to know this thing, where is Ying Ning's mother's grave?"
"Didn't you listen carefully when I told you just now?" the ancient book asked. "Did you say that?" I looked at the ancient books a little speechlessly, this guy didn't tell me at all! He talked to me a lot, and then asked me to go and find Ying Ning and Xin Shi Niang back. Anyway, I seem to be here to solve the absurd bird, why do I have to help him find these two people? No, it's two fox demons.
But if you don't find it back, these two, if you follow the absurd bird, they seem to be a little invincible! If you can, it should be a lot easier. "I ...... Anyway, Ying Ning's mother's grave is on that mountain, if you want to find it, go find it! I advise you to quickly solve the absurd birds, and find Ying Ning and them for me. Otherwise, you know the consequences!" the ancient book finished and disappeared. It also seems that I feel like I am inked, so I don't stay around me much.
"Yes, on the mountain, on the mountain!" I looked through the courtyard at the hill in the southwest corner of the house, and felt a deep sense of powerlessness. "Oh my God, how can you let me find such a big mountain?" I shouted helplessly.
"What are you looking for? There is so much demonic aura here, how can you live here?" a voice sounded. I looked inside, but there was no one inside. "I'm outside, you come out and see!" The voice sounded again, and I hurriedly ran out of the house and looked into the courtyard.
The moonlight sprinkled down, the whole courtyard was shining silver, and the sand on the ground reflected the moonlight, like a fairyland. In the middle of the yard, there was a kind of cat that was looking at me with wide eyes. This cat is different from other fur, and it also wears a sign around its neck. It's a little dark, after all, it's the Qing Dynasty, and there are no street lights at this time. And I can't have a street lamp in this wilderness. However, this cat looks a little familiar.
"Yes...... Are you talking?" I said, confused. Although I think it's unlikely, after all, this cat's body has no demonic energy and no spiritual power. How can an ordinary cat speak? But there are no other animals around, and it seems to be the only one who can speak.
"It's me talking! You can hear me, who are you?"
"Who are you? You broke into my yard and asked me who I am? Shouldn't you report yourself first?" I looked at this cat, and it always felt familiar, but for a while, I couldn't remember it.
"Who am I?" You think! This place is so demonic, how can you live here alone? If there is a door god or door charm attached to your door, it is nothing. But there's nothing at your doorstep, shouldn't I ask you first?" the cat's eyes suddenly sharpened. Good guy, listen to its tone, it thinks I'm a monster, huh?
"To be honest, although I am a little unhappy, after all, I was interrogated by a cat, but since you have asked, then I have to tell you, my name ......"
"By the way, I forgot to tell you, you can't tell people what your name is. Otherwise, it will rewrite history! You can't say that, anyway, you can't tell people your name, after all, this is related to Mr. Pu Songling's "Liao Zhai Strange Chronicles". And you can't talk about the future, you know?"
The voice of the ancient book sounded in my head. Strange, isn't this guy gone? I looked around and didn't see it. Forget it, let's solve the matter in front of us first! If you can't say it, you can't say it, I'll just think of a name, wouldn't it?
"What are you hesitating about? Are you afraid to tell me?" or are you already thinking about how to escape from me?" However, the cat had already slowly walked towards me, and it had begun to exude a trace of spiritual power. This cat is not simple!
"My name is Xie Shaoqing! I have lived at the foot of this mountain since I was a child, and my family has been demon catchers for generations. However, my father's generation has declined, so my father brought me to live at the foot of this mountain!" I said quickly and respectfully. This cat is definitely not a monster, but I don't know which way I provoked the fairy.
You must know that cultivating immortals in the past is not the same as now. At that time, many monsters were not like they are now, and they needed to hide themselves in the human world, or even avoid the pursuit of the Demon Hunting Bureau. Because of the Demon Hunting Mansion of Dali Temple, it is too weak at this time. Just now, the ancient book also mentioned it.
Therefore, at this time, although there are many demon catchers in the Dali Temple Demon Hunting Mansion, even more than we have now, but there are still many monsters in the Dali Temple Demon Hunting Mansion. And almost all of these monsters are about to rank in the immortal class. The reason why they want to join the Demon Hunting Bureau is that on the one hand, they want to quickly become immortals, and on the other hand, they also want to save some of their own kind when they go out on a mission to capture monsters.
After all, they are also monsters, they are all for cultivating immortals, and they are also for survival. To put it mildly, they eat people is also another way to cultivate immortals. It's just that if you can correct it, you can also have a chance to become an immortal. It's just that before they become immortals, they need to atone for their sins.
"Xie Shaoqing, are you from the Xie family?" the cat asked suspiciously, seemingly very confused about my identity. I shook my head, at this time, it's better not to take it seriously.
"No!" I gestured to the cat, Xie family, it should be some kind of big family, right? Or do I have an idea, although I don't know if it's true, but in the dark, my intuition tells me that it's very likely.
"Isn't it the Xie family? I thought you were from the Xie family of the eight families in the capital!" the cat said gracefully. "Eight families in Beijing?" I'm a little surprised, isn't there only everyone in Beijing? Could it be that it used to be eight families in Beijing, and now it's seven families?
By the way, in the past, my grandfather would sometimes say: "Our ancestors are really very glorious! At that time, even the emperor had to give us three points to thank the family." It's a pity, it's a pity......"
"Yes, look at your surprised look, don't you know it? Or do you have any relationship with this Xie family?" I shook my head, I wasn't sure, but I thought it was very likely. Whether it is or not, I still have to take a look if I have the opportunity. "What about your father?"
"My father is dead, and when I was 8 years old, he was dead!" I couldn't help but sigh after not mentioning my father for a long time. The cat frowned, and the way I look now, I didn't lie to him. He could feel the grief in me. "Sorry for mentioning your sadness!"
"It's okay, I don't know, what should I call you?" I stared at the sign on the cat's neck, what was written on it? The cat seemed to notice my eyes as well, and said, "What are you looking at, the sign on my neck? There is nothing strange, it is the sign of the Demon Hunting Mansion of Dali Temple, and the word "catch" is engraved on it. I don't think you don't know, do you?"
I nodded, even if I don't know, I have to say I know!" "My name is Fang Zhongyong, and it's the first time we've met." I have to say, you are really good, you have lived here with your father for so long. How old are you?"
Fang Zhongyong?!!! When I heard this name, I literally, my entire scalp exploded. Oh my God! Fang Zhongyong in my junior high school textbook, Fang Zhongyong is actually a cat, incredible, incredible. "What's wrong with you, you seem to be weird about my name?" the cat was wary, because it didn't seem to him to know its name. After all, at this time, almost no one knew the name Fang Zhongyong. After all, I am almost half a mountain villager, and I have lived here since I was a child, so I should not have studied at all, and it is impossible for me to know about him.
"Nothing, just curious. You're obviously a cat, why did you choose such a name. To my ears, this name should be chosen by talents. I'm 17 years old!" I smiled awkwardly, the cat seemed suspicious of me. It's a little bit not good, after all, this cat should be the kind that is about to become an immortal, and if it is beaten as a monster, it will be a little uncomfortable.
"I'm human, you've probably heard of it. A change between man and a demon - a change of heaven!" the cat looked at me with a very unfriendly look in his eyes, as if he did not want to hear someone say a few words. I shook my head and said, "Well, I haven't heard of it." My father didn't mention it to me. ”
"Yes, you probably haven't heard of it. How could I tell you such a thing? I don't know why, but seeing you, I feel familiar, I don't know why. It stands to reason that we should be meeting for the first time, could it be that you will also become a monster because of the "Heavenly Change"?"
The first time we met, I cursed me like this, I really didn't know what to say. "What, are you here to catch monsters?" Speaking of which, I was a little engrossed in chatting with ancient books today, and I didn't realize that this place was quite demonic. The cat nodded, then looked at the river behind it.
Okay guys, is it the youkai in the river? I walked over to the cat, focused, and began to sense that the youkai in the river were there. "Huh?" I frowned. "What's wrong?" Fang Zhongyong hurriedly asked. I shook my head, didn't speak, and continued to look for the monster's location.
"I found it!!" I sighed. At this time, the monster had so much demonic energy and murderous aura on its body? The monster also seemed to sense the existence of me and Fang Zhongyong, and stayed at a certain position at the bottom of the river and did not move. "The spot where the moonlight reflects on the surface of the lake, count the three adults here to us, and that's where it is!"
"Okay, you kid, it's not bad!" Fang Zhongyong finished speaking, and then jumped up and jumped on the top of the river. In mid-air, a powerful spiritual power condensed on Fang Zhongyong's cat's claws. "Write down, swim the dragon!" I saw a startling dragon rushing straight towards the position I had just mentioned. The dragon submerged in the water, and Fang Zhongyong hurriedly returned to stand beside me.
"Okay, take a look, what kind of guy is it?" Fang Zhongyong said confidently. I looked at it with some confusion, the moment the dragon appeared just now, I felt a very strong spiritual power, but after the dragon didn't enter the river, I couldn't feel anything! No, this is the feeling again.
Fang Zhongyong was looking at the river intently at this time, and my attention, reproach, was drawn to the mountain in the southwest corner. On that mountain, there is a spiritual power, a very comfortable spiritual power. It seems that because of the powerful spiritual power of the dragon just now, the spiritual power on this mountain has also been slowly released. On this mountain, is there also a demon catcher? Or, like Fang Zhongyong, is it a monster who cultivates immortals?
"Boom!" As I stared at the mountain, there was a loud noise on the surface of the river. The entire surface of the river was blown apart, and the water splashed everywhere. "Stand back!" Fang Zhongyong shouted at me. So Fang Zhongyong and I retreated outside my yard, and we saw a very large fat catfish in the middle of the air, slowly falling where we were just now.
Good guys, this fat catfish is really big. It seems to be more than three feet long and two feet wide. It is indeed not an exaggeration to say that it is a fat catfish. The main thing is that this fat catfish is different from ordinary catfish, it has four legs, these four legs are neither long nor short, and it seems that it just allows it to stand on the ground. However, if you want to run, it doesn't seem to be very convenient.
"This guy?" I looked at Fang Zhongyong with some confusion. This Fang Zhongyong is here to arrest this guy, he should know something. "Did you sense a strong demonic aura and dead aura just now?" I nodded. "That's right, it's the end of summer, and there are a lot of little dolls swimming here. At this beginning, no one was missing, slowly, slowly, there were always little dolls swimming into the middle of the river, and the people who swam were gone. That's why you will find that this fat catfish will have such a strong dead and demonic energy. If you don't stop it, it's going to be a bit tricky!"
"You find it tricky?" I said. Fang Zhongyong shook his head and said, "How can it be that I feel tricky? I don't need to do anything to deal with such goods. It's you, and if it's in some climate, you probably won't be able to deal with it! You can live here without any trouble, it must be because there is no way to do it now. When it eats a few more people and the demonic aura on its body is stronger, it will come ashore and eat you too. After all, there is such a delicacy on the shore, who would not eat it?"
I looked at Fang Zhongyong with a black face, this cat looked like a cat, this mockery was really good. Am I really, really that weak?"What are you looking at me for? What's wrong??' I shook my head. "If you don't have an opinion, then why don't you do it quickly!"
"Do it?" I looked at Fang Zhongyong very unhappily. Well, I want to blow up this fat catfish, do you want me to do it?" "Yes, if you don't do it, do you want me to do it?" Fang Zhongyong looked at me very reasonably, as if this matter was about to be done.
"No, you've got a problem. Aren't you the one who catches the monster? Why do you want me to do it? As soon as I eat the melons, you still let me do it!" I forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in my heart, forget it, don't worry about a broken cat.
"What are you talking about? If I hadn't shown you, you'd have been eaten. Besides, you do it, don't I look at your level? You just said that your family has been a demon catcher for generations, just right, let me see how good your level is. Or are you also a monster?" Fang Zhongyong looked at me, his eyes full of threat. Good guy, if I don't say yes, I'll be a monster!
"Well, what you said is really reasonable! In that case, then I'll show you a hand! Such a little monster, I haven't solved it casually!" I smiled very confidently as I looked at the fat catfish in front of me. This fat catfish is also a fish after all! When a fish comes ashore, can it be flexible in the water? Even if it is a monster, it has not yet transformed into a human form, which means that it has not yet reached the stage of semi-transformation. In this case, this fat catfish is on land, it is not in the water, can it still play with me, and can also educate me? It's really funny, this is not in the water, how can this fat catfish be shy?
