Some people secretly talked about it, saying that Xiaomei was not the only one who saw the green-eyed cat demon running into Lu Gongzi's room and sucking his essence and blood that night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The speculation of the people came out of the Lu Mansion, and for a while, the people in the market talked about it, saying that there were cats and ghosts in the Lu Mansion.

Everyone said that the cat demon was originally changed by Pei Yuniang to charm Lu Gongzi, but some people retorted, saying that the monster was not Pei Yuniang at all, it was Lu Gongzi who was obsessed with too much and provoked unclean things, which was evil!

What is it that is not clean?

The cat ghost, the world's cloud, is a monster that combines the spirit of a tanuki with a lonely ghost and a wild ghost, turns into a ghost, attaches to a beautiful woman, and specializes in sucking the blood of men.

For a while, rumors spread in Kaifeng City, which gave Shen Yu a headache, so he hurriedly called Bai Tang back and asked him to go to Lu Mansion to see what was going on.

"I wonder how Ling Gongzi is now?" Bai Tang asked.

Lu Shizong never expected that the disaster would fall on his youngest son, and he couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and replied: "Fortunately, Xiaomei found out in time, Xiao'er was just ...... Bitten by the demon...... It's just that after he was injured, he was mentally ill and weak. ”

Bai Tang frowned slightly, and said in his heart: When Lord Lu reported the case, he also said that his son was injured by a thief, but now he has changed his name to "demon". When the subordinates first discussed this, he sent a few away, and now it seems that he himself believes in this monster.

Bai Tang said coldly: "I want to see Ling Gongzi in person and talk to Xiaomei again." ”

Lu Shizong nodded, and led Bai Tang to the backyard.

After walking a few steps, I saw a few Taoist children in the courtyard building an altar.

A middle-aged Taoist next to him kept talking to a woman, and the woman kept wiping her tears, crying and nodding her head at the same time.

Lu Shizong looked at his nose and said sourly: "Don't be strange about the gods, just because of this incident, the Zhang family is asking for talismans, and she invited the Taoist to go to the altar to practice, hoping to cure the monster." ”

Bai Tang was silent, he had never believed in such strange powers.

Although the Divine Capture Division had already sent someone to check inside and outside the Lu Mansion, Bai Tang still wanted to confirm some things in person.

Lu Gongzi was lying on the bed, his face pale and unconscious. I saw that he was only wearing a middle coat, his cheeks were sunken, and his bones were faintly visible in his clothes, where he looked like the son of a rich and noble family, and his face looked like a starving victim.

The most conspicuous were the two bite marks on his neck, the wound was surrounded by a circle of black and swollen, and the deep holes really looked as if they had been pierced by the sharp teeth of a ferocious beast.

Bai Tang frowned, and even he had a question in his heart, is it really a cat ghost?

Bai Tang is a person from Jingzhao Mansion, and there is indeed a saying that cats and ghosts are spread in his hometown, and legend has it that Jiang Ziya divided the princes of all walks of life into gods after crusading against Shang, and inadvertently named his tricky wife as "cat ghost god".

In the Hehuang region of Northwest China, especially in Liangzhou, Gansu Province, the people have the custom of worshipping cats and ghosts. Choose a pure black cat for about three months, cut off the head on a moonless night, and fasting Jiao Qiqiqi, that is, it can be psychic. Hang a cloth bag next to the cat ghost tablet, for the cat, every night the cat ghost goes out to steal other people's things, to the fourth watch, when the rooster does not crow, the cloth bag will disappear, and it will hang in the corner of the house for a while, and it will be filled with the things stolen by the cat ghost.

He remembered the flying thieves in the rivers and lakes, and one of them was called "Night Cat". Think about it, the cat ghost should be said to be the ancestor of the flying thief, could it be the god that the "night cat" wants to worship? In addition to the cat ghost stealing things, the folk also say that if the cat ghost is combined with the lonely soul and wild ghost, it will become a powerful ghost, stir up trouble, and harm the people. No matter which way it is said, it is a legend in the northwest region, and the capital has never had it, how could there be such a thing suddenly?

And the most strange thing is that I have never heard of cat ghosts sucking blood!

The subordinates quickly brought Xiaomei and interrupted Bai Tang's train of thought.

So he asked Xiaomei carefully.

Xiaomei knelt on the ground, knowing that it was Lord Shenzhu who personally interrogated her, and she was more serious than the previous answers.

"It was dark and gurgling that night...... I saw a green-eyed demon girl, arched back, tail up, hair all over her body towered, a pair of green eyes looking at me, I was so scared, I wanted to run away but I couldn't move......"

"Green-eyed?" Bai Tang said thoughtfully, "Then how do you know that she is a banshee?"

"This ...... This ......"

Bai Tang asked again, "Are you lying?"

"I didn't ...... Didn't ......" Xiaomei looked up sharply and saw the handsome face of Shen Zhu, looking at herself with bright eyes.

The people of Kaifeng all rumored that Baitang was the descendant of Bai Qi, the first general of the Qin State, and Xiaomei also admired him very much. In her heart, Bai Tang is not just a god catcher, it is simply a god catcher.

Although she was a little scared in her heart, she didn't want Shenzhu to think that she was lying, so she said firmly: "I didn't lie!"

Then he slowly recalled, "It was so dark that I couldn't see it, but I heard a voice...... The demon girl used the black drama to insult the son, and the son intersected with him, making an unbearable sound. At this, her face flushed, and she paused, "I interrupted them by breaking in...... In the blink of an eye, she is gone, what is not a demon girl?"

Bai Tang then pointed to the window, "Was this window closed or open that night?"

Xiaomei said: "During this time, the son was in poor health, so naturally the window was closed at night. ”

"And when you came in, did you find that the windows were open or closed?"

Xiaomei thought for a moment and said, "It's open! I saw that Gongzi was injured by the moonlight." ”

Bai Tang nodded, with his past experience in investigating cases, he knew that Xiaomei was not lying. Although affected by the circumstances of the case, the confessions of these witnesses are somewhat distorted and exaggerated, but the analysis of the clues in the testimony still makes him somewhat eyebrows.

"Where has he been lately, who have you met, and when did you say he was sick?"

In fact, only Xiaomei, the personal maid, knew about Lu Gongzi's private meeting with Pei Yuniang. The first few times the officials came to interrogate, Master Lu was present, Xiaomei didn't dare to tell the truth, but when she saw the god hunter today, she confided everything.

"Childe was locked in the study during the day, but at night when the master slept, he asked the little maid to quietly open the door and secretly went to see Pei Yuniang in the embroidery building. Son...... Childe won't let me say ......" After speaking, she cried and lowered her head aggrievedly.

"Pei Yuniang?" Bai Tang said secretly in his heart: Because Lu Gongzi is infatuated with this Pei Yuniang, Kaifeng Mansion has already sent someone to investigate her, but Pei Yuniang did pick up guests in the embroidery building that night and never left.

Bai Tang waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down first." ”

Waiting for Xiaomei to be taken away, Bai Tang carefully inspected Lu Gongzi's room.

He was even more sure that it was by no means a haunted thing.

The so-called green-eyed cat ghost should be a person, a woman.

This woman entered and exited Lu Gongzi's room through the window. Although there are family guards in the courtyard of Lufu, and wolf dogs will be released at night, this woman comes and goes freely, and after being discovered by Xiaomei, she can be fleeting, which shows that this woman's martial arts are very good.

But why did she suck human blood? This was the biggest question in Bai Tang's heart.

Could it be to cultivate some evil sect's martial arts?

He suddenly remembered something, so he took his men to the front hall to find Master Lu.

☆☆☆

It was late at night, there was not a single wind, and the weather was unspeakably hot. Bai Tang lay on the bed, tired but still unable to sleep.

He was lying on someone else's bed waiting for someone, waiting for a woman.

If it really responds to his intuition, this woman is practicing with human blood, then she was disturbed by Xiaomei last time and didn't succeed, maybe she will come back to suck blood.

I've been waiting for three nights, and if I don't come after tonight, Bai Tang can only find another way.

On the third watch, the doors and windows were closed. From time to time in the night wind, the voice of the Taoist priest sending ghosts was heard, "Yuqing has a life, sue Sanyuan...... Kaiji people ...... Haste as a law!"

Bai Tang secretly sneered in his heart: If Sanmao Zhenjun can be effective, he still needs the government to arrest and do something quickly.

Suddenly, there was a strange noise outside the window.

Bai Tang immediately became alert. Later, a faint aroma came, Ecstasy incense, and he immediately held his breath and breathed.

After a few moments, the window suddenly opened silently, then closed again. A night breeze blew into the room.

The gold tent was slightly trembling by the gust of wind, reflecting a figure, which was a silhouette with a very beautiful outline.

Bai Tang would prefer to see such a figure in another situation.

"Childe. "It's a crispy and soft swallow warbler.

Bai Tang actually hoped that she was really a cat ghost who seduced people at night.

A jade hand lifted the veil tent, and saw Lu Gongzi wearing a white coat, lying quietly on the bed with his face flushed, as if he was asleep.

The woman chuckled, stretched out her hand to push him, and said, "Why don't you take off the ......" Before the words fell, suddenly a white light flashed, and a knife flew in.

This change was sudden, and she was caught off guard, and instinctively raised her hand to block. Bai Tang's knife did not miss, it was slashing on the woman's forearm, but it could hear a "dang" sound, and it felt like the sound of metal colliding.

The woman was shocked, but reacted very quickly, turned over and exited the yarn tent.

Bai Tang didn't allow her to retreat easily, and when she turned over, it was a series of two knives, the woman was on guard this time, and her body retreated quickly, only to hear the sound of "Dangdang", and she actually parried these two knives. Bai Tang had flashed in front of the window at this time, blocking the woman's retreat.

The woman was wearing a black night dress, with a black veil covering her face, and in the darkness was a pair of green eyes staring straight at Bai Tang.

"Bold thief, don't hurry up and catch him!" Bai Tang shouted in a deep voice.

The woman didn't answer, just snorted coldly.

Bai Tang stepped forward, raised his hands, revealing a pair of backhand knives, it was his famous weapon "Heavy Knife", the two knives were staggered, and there was a buzzing low sound, his body shook gently as if he was drunk, only to see him stretch his body, rise and fall, and swing his double knives, pounce on the masked woman, just like a white praying mantis.

Bai Tang's "drunk mantis fluttering cicada", two knives in a row, the woman did not retreat but greeted, looking at Leng Sensen's blade was already swinging, stretched out her left arm, "dang", the woman resisted the first knife, and under the collision, sparks burst out. She turned around and dodged the second knife, and her other arm swept towards Bai Tang's head.

Bai Tang struck the "Golden Eagle Spreading its Wings" with a knife in his right hand, and when it sounded, it shook his forearm a little numb. Bai Tang was secretly frightened, with so much strength! It seemed that her forearm concealed a stainless steel armguard, no wonder she could block the repeated attacks of her twin knives. This woman is full of brute strength, attacking wide open and closing, and her moves are strange and ferocious, not like the Central Plains martial arts.

Bai Tang studied under the famous master of Jingzhao Mansion Xinyi Boxing, Shang Cunyi, and was quite accomplished in mantis boxing. This "mind drunk mantis knife method" is that he turned the mantis fist into a double knife with the boxing intent of being rigid but not stiff, soft but not soft, and rigid and soft, and his own set of knife techniques was also deeply appreciated by the master back then. At this time, he cheered up, walked lightly, and used a trick to "catch the line", shook his wrists with both hands, and the two knives entered diagonally, and they were handed to the woman's chest in an instant. This move is light and agile, which is in stark contrast to the masked woman's fierce moves.

The masked woman was still fighting hard, only to see her stretch out her left arm to block outward, who knew that Bai Tang's right hand knife did not strengthen, locked her arm at once, and the knife in her left hand buzzed, and with a blow, it seemed to cut off her arm. Seeing his dangerous move, the masked woman eagerly turned her left arm, and her body flashed backwards, but she still didn't dodge, and was slashed in the left shoulder by the tip of the knife, and blood suddenly burst out.

Bai Tang injured the masked woman with a knife, but he was not in a hurry. He lifted his two knives, his feet were empty in front of him and solid in the back, a dragon-shaped wolf plate, and his body shook gently for a long time, like a big praying mantis waiting for a rabbit.

The masked woman saw Bai Tang's dignified appearance, her eyebrows flew obliquely into her temples, a slightly arrogant smile on her face, a low backhand double knife, a strange move, and a silver-white night coat, and suddenly remembered someone, and couldn't help but be shocked in her heart: God catches the white mantis?!

She immediately made a decision, let out a low snort, endured the pain, raised her arms, shot like a strong crossbow, and rushed towards Baitang. Bai Tang saw that she was crazy because of her injuries and her moves were fierce, and he was secretly vigilant in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the masked woman was bluffing, and suddenly her figure turned, and she directly hit the window and flew out.

Bai Tang chased after him and jumped out of the window.

Listening to the chaos in the house, the ambushed catcher saw the masked woman rushing out of the window and immediately pounced.

Who knew that the masked woman was fierce and abnormal, she grabbed a catcher and threw it towards Baitang.

Baitang was blocked by this, and the woman took advantage of the situation to rush out of Zhangyu, crossed the wall, and disappeared......

Bai Tang chased the blood trail for a long time, and finally disappeared.

The next day, the news of the cat ghost haunting Lufu at night spread all over Bianliang City, saying that the banshee walked like the wind, entered the house at night, and the charming person sucked blood, and even the gods couldn't help it. Soon, many people reported to the official one after another, saying that the young son was missing and seemed to have been taken away by demons. So it was rumored in Beijing that the demon had been slashed by the gods, and he wanted to catch boys and girls to suck blood and restore his demonic power. Suddenly, everyone in the capital was in danger, and the whole country was panicked.
