Chapter 4: The Legend of the Cat Ghost (61) - The First Appearance of the Cat Ghost

ā˜†ā˜†ā˜†

Chris's voice interrupted Chu Zhen's contemplation: "Putting aside the 'holy book', that wooden board was originally a 'movable type board' for printing, does Brother Chu know?"

Chu Yi nodded and said, "Of course I know that the holy book is engraved on a wooden board for printing! Originally, it was to transport the holy book from Hangzhou back to the Archchurch, and it was done in order to hide people's eyes and ears and facilitate transportation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoAs for the type board used for printing, I'm a layman, I really don't understand!"

Chris frowned, and said in his heart: How can there be a discrepancy with what Lord Shen said? The holy book was deliberately made like that, obviously for a reason, and there was not only a hidden mechanism in it, but also a big secret. Why doesn't it seem that even Brother Chu knows?

Chu Zhen was thinking about his thoughts, and he didn't pay attention to Chris's distraction. After pondering for a long time, he arose, went round the fire, and came to the gray horse tethered to the tree, with a black leather on the side of the saddle.

Chu Yan loosened the rope buckle on the leather bag, opened the cover bag, and took out a black cloth bag from it.

He returned to Chris's side and handed the bag to her.

Chris touched it, square, and faintly thought of something in her heart, she wondered: "What is this?"

Chu Zhen said: "Open it and take a look!"

When I opened it, it was a wooden plank, and there was another one underneath. Chris exclaimed, "Holy book?!, and there are two pieces...... Aren't all four holy books all these found?"

Chu Zhen shook his head and said, "No, there are only three pieces! ā€

Chris carefully identified it, only to find that the wooden board below was indeed the replica he had taken to the printing workshop.

She was a little disappointed in her heart, and when she looked up, she saw that Chu Hui was also full of regret, and hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Chu, don't be sad, there are already three pieces of this, and the last one is missing! ā€

Chu Yi sighed in his heart: Over the years, it's not that I haven't tracked down the people behind the scenes who let the Flying Thieves Club steal the holy book, but it's a pity that the other party is very cunning, and he doesn't leak a drop of water, and there is no clue at all, so I just bite the Flying Thieves Club and don't let go. Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and let me meet the lucky star of Yuan Xiaoxian, who was snatched by them from the skillful old man back then, and they all took it back. Now only this last piece is left, and most of it is in the hands of the people behind the scenes!

Seeing that the atmosphere was depressed, Chris hurriedly cheered up and asked, "Brother Chu, how did you get this board?"

Chu Zhen told the story of capturing the flying eagle. Among the thieves, it was the Flying Eagle who was the most cunning, so Chu Zhen's questioning technique was also the most cruel, and Chris got goosebumps all over his body when he heard it. From the trace of blood brought out by those words, she gradually felt the afterglow of the bloody storm back then.

Chris suddenly remembered that he rescued Qin Yujiu, who was rounded up by the two gods under the rescue of Xiulou. That time, it was the Kaifeng Mansion that set a trap in the Rongguo Mansion, using the bait of the flying eagle. Now that he knows the relationship between Jian Shi and Chu Zhen, Chris probably guessed that eighty percent of the matter of the flying eagle was heard by Jian Shi from Chu Zhen's side, which was the only way to design Qin Yujiu. However, she thought that if she hadn't saved the "incense thief" that day, the board in his hand would not have reached her hand. Sometimes it's really hard to say what happens in this world!

"Virtuous brother!" Chu Hui said in a deep voice, "I want to entrust this holy book to you!"

"Huh?!" Hearing this, Christon was stunned, thinking to himself that no, you want to give me that piece too?

Chris felt Chu Zhen's burning gaze, waiting for his answer. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, before she raised her eyes unhurriedly, met Chu Zhen with clear eyes, and said slowly: "Brother Chu is here to find out the inner ghost of the sect, you are worried about the safety of the holy book, do you think it gives me more peace of mind?"

Chu Zhen said in his heart: I thought of a plan to find out the inner ghost, and I also wanted to lead out the people behind the scenes by the way. It's just that this matter involves people inside the Ming Sect, and it is not easy to investigate it thoroughly. In case there is a mistake that affects the holy book, I will not be able to explain it to the old sect master at that time. Entrusting the holy book to the virtuous brother, first, he has the status of an official government and is still well-known in Beijing, and it is impossible for ordinary people to associate him with the holy book; second, everyone in the Ming Sect knows that I regard the holy book as their own life, and they will never think that I will hand over the holy book to others, and naturally no one will suspect that the piece in my hand is actually a fake board.

Alas, there is a great Mingjiao, but now I can only believe in this "outsider"!

"Brother Xian is really smart!" Chu Yi smiled, "I'll take away your imitation first!

Chris nodded, wrapped the fake board and handed it to Chu Zhen, and said, "However, I have a question and want to ask Brother Chu!"

"You ask!" Chu Yi said softly.

"I know that this holy book is engraved with the scriptures of Mingjiao," Chris said, "but why does the text on it mean nothing?"

Chu Zhen didn't expect this to be the problem, and said with a slight smile: "Mingjiao was introduced to the Central Plains from Persia in the Tang Dynasty, and has always believed in 'Mingzun'!"

"The God of Light!Also called 'Mingzun', 'Ming'Envoy'!" Chris has heard a lot of things about Mingjiao from his little uncle, and now he knows a lot.

"Yes, my Ming Sect believes in Ming Zun and advocates light, but it is ridiculous to be called the 'Demon Sect' by the people of the rivers and lakes!" Chu Hui said angrily, "It's all because Tang Wuzong killed the believers of the Ming Sect in the world, and the sect members had to hide invisibly. In order to avoid being banned by the government, we had to form a secret society, and in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, we gathered together at night to worship, only because there were both men and women among the believers, it was more misinterpreted by the world......"

Chu Yi sighed, looking very helpless, and then said, "The doctrine stipulates that we should worship four times a day, so it is also called 'Four Fruits' in Jiangdong Mingjiao! You see that the words on the scripture are confused, because you don't know, you have to start with the first word, every four words, and recite them together. After reading, start with the second word! and so on......"

Chris carefully studied the holy book, tried to read the scriptures above according to the method Chu Zhen said, and sure enough, they were connected and had meaning.

She remembered the plank she had bought. She vaguely remembered the text in the first row above, and then recited it in this way, but found that it was not the same as the content of the rearrangement of the movable type blocks after opening the mechanism!

"Brother Xian?" Seeing her confused eyes, Chu Yi even screamed a few times, but failed to call her back.

Chu Zhen had to stretch out his hand and shake it in front of her eyes, but Chris suddenly raised his head, stared at him closely, and said in his heart: What I am going to say next may be earth-shattering and crying, Brother Chu, you have to resist this time!

"Brother Chu, do you know that there is a big secret in this holy book?"

Chu Hui didn't know what to do, and pointed to the movable type board in Chris's hand and said: "This is indeed the scripture of my Ming Sect! It is not like the outside world, there are any treasures, or peerless martial arts." Moreover, all the martial arts secrets of the Ming Sect are open to the sect, and anyone who has the qualifications can go to practice. Is this kung fu practiced for my brother a peerless martial art? Who in the world dares to fight with me?"

Hearing his words, Chris was even more sure that Chu Zhen really didn't know the mystery of this holy book. It takes a long time to explain it with your mouth, it's better to see it than to believe it!

She stretched out the holy book in her hand in front of Chu Zhen and said, "Brother Chu, look!"

Chu Yi was suspicious in his heart, and he didn't know what the virtuous brother was going to do.

Chris began to grope on the plank, only to hear the sound of "Kala", Chu Zhen's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the plank in her hand in surprise.

What followed was a series of movements, but as her hand moved, Chu Zhen's mouth opened wider and wider.

Chris flicked the dark button of the holy book, and the mechanism moved, and the movable type block on the board moved, but when it was moved to a certain position, it could no longer move.

Chris's expression was calm, and he whispered: "Brother Chu, this is the second condition of the younger brother, you want me to solve the mystery of the mechanism of this holy book!"

Xiaomei was sold into Lu Mansion as a maid since she was a child, and this year it was finally up to her wife to make her the little son's room. She was well-behaved, and her son loved her very much, and she swore that she would marry her as a concubine soon. However, now he is infatuated with the famous prostitute in the embroidery building, running away every day, and he is not at all like the beginning, the truth is that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a prostitute.

In the middle of the night, Xiaomei gently got up from her small bed, and after untying her little hands in a daze, she was ready to go back to bed to sleep. But I faintly heard a low and hoarse voice from the inside of the child. She touched the darkness and walked lightly, but she heard the hoarse and low moans of a man. Xiaomei couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and said in her heart: Recently, the son's face was tired and pale, and he knew that he was overindulgent at a glance, why was he still blaspheming?

was still worried about Childe's body, but when she heard the rough panting getting heavier, a nameless fire suddenly burned in her heart. She's a good intercourse, if Childe really wants to be relieved, why don't you come to her.

She slammed the door in, and the room was pitch black. Suddenly, in Childe's bedchamber, a pair of green eyes shone like a demon, looking straight at Xiaomei, who screamed "wow" and sat down on the ground in fright, trembling all over.

A black shadow crouched on Childe's body and slowly climbed up, like a huge black cat.

The two green lights stared at Xiaomei tightly, turned her head and crawled towards her, Xiaomei couldn't move, she opened her mouth wide, she couldn't make a sound, Xiaomei was terrified to the extreme, and quickly closed her eyes.

By the time she mustered up the courage to open her eyes again, there was nothing.

Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief, smelling a warm and humid smell of blood wafting from the air, and she was so frightened that she collapsed and reluctantly crawled to the side of the bed. I don't know when the window was opened, and a ray of moonlight came in, Xiaomei saw it clearly, Childe...... Childe's neck had bright red blood coming out, flowing down his neck in big drops.

The bed was covered with white sheets, and blood dripped down on it, gradually turning into small clumps of crimson blood. It's a terrifying scene......

Bleeding! Bleeding!

Xiaomei trembled for a while, and finally screamed, "Come on, help!"

A team of men and horses from Kaifeng Mansion galloped towards Lu Mansion, and the leading horse did not stop, and jumped off the horse in white clothes. But see the wide house gate, a pair of tall bluestone lions in front of the door, the door is closed at this time, the bronze main door is buckled with two large copper rings, and the door head hangs a plaque with two big gold characters written on the "Lu Mansion", which is the mansion of Lu Shizong, the servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Before his subordinates could call the door, the front door of the Lu Mansion opened, and the man in white walked in directly with his subordinates.

Lu Fu Chaben stepped forward and bowed, took a closer look, and said with a surprised gaze: "Is it Lord Divine Catch?" The man in white did not speak, but just nodded in greeting. Nacha Ben turned around and led the way, thinking as he walked: Lord God is here, and now the little boy is saved.

After a while, I came to the main hall, and before I could report the news, I saw an old man in a satin robe, about seventy years old, who had come out, and took the hand of the man in white and said sadly: "Lord Bai, you are here!"

Bai Tang saluted respectfully, and the old man was from the Sanpin Great Yuan Lu Shizong. At this moment, his face was haggard, he had long lost his official authority, and he was just a helpless old man.

He took Bai Tang's hand and sat down in the inner hall, and after serving tea, Lu Shizong dismissed the people on both sides before he said: "God wants to save my little child......"

"Please rest assured, Lord Shen, Lord Shen sent a villain to investigate this case thoroughly, and the villain will naturally do his best!"

Lu Shizong knew that the prefect of Kaifeng, Shen Yu, was knowledgeable, talented, and clear. Since he took office as the prefect of Kaifeng, he has used both grace and power, ordered and forbidden, and has made many achievements, and the people have praised him. And Shen Yu now sent his most powerful divine capture to investigate, which comforted Lu Shizong's heart a little.

Looking at Lu Shizong's anxious expression, Bai Tang sighed in his heart: "This year has been really eventful! The sword shop has failed to investigate the fierce fire oil, but it has been in danger one after another; recently, there have been incidents of children missing in Beijing one after another. Jian Shi always felt strange, he had entrusted himself to investigate the child theft case, and he just had some clues, but he didn't expect something strange to happen in Lord Lu's mansion, and he was urgently recalled by Lord Shen and came to investigate.

Lu Mansion is very strange about this matter, according to the report of his subordinates, it is said that in recent months, Lu Gongzi has been very fond of Pei Yuniang, a famous prostitute in the embroidery building, and he has been immersed in the embroidery building every day. Lord Lu didn't object at first, but because Lu Gongzi lingered too much in the Qinglou, he fell behind in his schoolwork. Lord Lu was furious, locked Lu Gongzi in the study, and forced him to study hard. Who knew that Mr. Lu had a deep affection for Pei Yuniang, and he didn't think about tea and rice every day, and he didn't eat a drop of water, and in the end he couldn't afford to get sick. The so-called monster theory is probably just a pretext.

But the people of Lu Mansion were indifferent about what happened that night.

Some people say that the monster pestering Lu Gongzi is the nonsense of Xiaomei, a girl in the room! The Zhang family, the mother of the Lu family, believes in ghosts and gods the most, and that Xiaomei has always been pleasing to the Zhang family, and she doesn't want Lu Gongzi to go to that Pei Yuniang, so she made up such a lie.
