"Cat?" Li Xianyu's reaction was a little too big. He looked at Great-grandmother, "My grandmother, did you hear a cat's meow?"
Great-grandmother nodded silently.
Hearing a cat's meow in the middle of the night in the wilderness was definitely not a pleasant thing. Instead, it was a little scary.
According to folklore, cats were Yin creatures. They could walk between the world of the living and the netherworld, so they were born with Yin energy. If they passed by a dead person's head, it would cause a corpse to turn into a corpse.
"If ordinary people were on the mountain, they would be scared sick after hearing this sound." Li Xianyu muttered. He held the flashlight and walked out of the temple.
Outside the temple, the wind blew the fallen leaves and the branches rustled. The whole mountain seemed to come alive.
The cat's meow was hidden in the sound of the wind. It was near and far, as if it was crying.
"Wild cat?" Li Xianyu looked a little hesitant, "This demonic wind, it can't be a cat fairy, right?"
The wind came suddenly and was a bit demonic. The cat's meow mixed with the wind reminded Li Xianyu of the TV dramas. Every time a monster appeared, there would be a demonic wind.
In the Blood Descendant World, he had never seen a monster that appeared with a strange phenomenon, but if it was a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence. The moment the cat meowed, the demonic wind came.
Beside Li Xianyu, Great-grandmother's expression was quite solemn.
She took a step forward, squinted her eyes, and looked into the dark shadows of the trees, "Mountain God?"
The cat's meow disappeared. Accompanied by the subtle sound of branches stepping on leaves, Li Xianyu's flashlight shone on two shining gems.
It was a tawny cat with tiger-like stripes. Its body was strong and slender, and its cat-like steps were very elegant.
In terms of breed, it was a Chinese Garden Cat. In terms of aura, it was a fierce tiger in the mountains.
"Cat fairy?!" Li Xianyu turned around and pointed at the statue in the temple, "You can't be the cat fairy worshiped in the temple, right?"
"Hmph, it's just the ignorant belief of humans." The Chinese Garden Cat said disdainfully, "I am me …"
"They are fireworks of different colors," Li Xianyu said.
"Human, don't suddenly interrupt." The Chinese Field Cat was very unhappy.
"Heh." Li Xianyu sneered. "The average lifespan of a cat is 15 years. Even if you are a blood descendant, you can only live for 60 years at most. But this temple was built in 1891, more than 100 years ago. Where did this stray cat come from, pretending to be a sage of the same race and bluffing? "
In this world, aside from the Flood Dragon Salamander, there was no such thing as a thousand-year Demonic Beast. On the contrary, the lifespan of Demonic Beasts was far lower than that of human descendants.
"Ignorant human." The Chinese Field Cat snorted and raised its head at a 45-degree angle. It was extremely arrogant.
"It is the Mountain God," said Great-grandmother.
"How could that be?" Li Xianyu looked at her in surprise.
"Didn't you go to the northeast? You should know that the Yellow Immortals, Gray Immortals, and Mang Immortals in the past eat people's incense."
"So what?"
"Before the appearance of Qi Cultivation, there was an ancient cultivation method in the World of Blood Descendants, and that was to devour the Power of Will." Great-grandmother spoke frankly with assurance. "The Power of Will is also known as spiritual power. It is the spiritual power produced by tens of thousands of people. It will be collected and absorbed by the" Gods ", changing from quantitative to qualitative. So in ancient times, be it humans or demons, they all wanted to become Gods and ancestors. "
"This method of using the Power of Will to become Gods has a limited increase in combat power. It is far inferior to the later Qi Cultivation. However, it had a special characteristic, and that was that every God that consumed incense could live forever. In theory, as long as the incense continues, they will never die. "
"These" Gods "eat incense and protect the peace of the land, but their existence is a threat to the imperial court. In order to prevent the" Gods "from increasing, the imperial court denounces all the unrecognized temples as evil gods."
"In modern times, there are more and more people who don't worship God or Buddha. The rest of them worship the illusory Gods."
The Chinese Countryside Cat's blue eyes stared at Great-grandmother. "Hmph, little girl, you have a lot of knowledge."
It was a cat, but Li Xianyu saw coldness and arrogance in its eyes.
Great-grandmother also snorted arrogantly. "Little girl? I am older than you. "
"I am a big demon before the founding of the country." The Chinese Countryside Cat was not convinced.
"I am from the end of the Qing Dynasty."
“.....”
The Chinese Countryside Cat was shocked. It tilted its head and looked at her in surprise.
Li Xianyu coughed and cut off the two old antiques who appeared to be rather childish despite their age.
"Since you are the Mountain God, you should know that this town is suffering from a rat disaster again. We came here chasing a rat spirit, did you see it?" Li Xianyu asked it.
The Chinese Countryside Cat looked at the sky at a 45 degree angle. "Why should I tell you?"
This cat's personality was so bad.
Li Xianyu said, "Isn't catching rats the duty of you cats?"
"Young man, I can give you a chance." The Chinese Countryside Cat had an expression of "this cat is very kind". "Recently, there is a rat disaster at the foot of the mountain. The people have no way to live. You go back and tell the ignorant people at the foot of the mountain to repair the temple and make sure that they burn incense and worship every year. This cat will be very kind and help them get rid of the rat disaster."
"The people have no way to live?" Li Xianyu waved his hand again and again. "It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist. Let them worship you, it is better for me to find the rat spirit myself."
The Cat Fairy was furious. "This is your only chance. Besides this cat, who else can save the people at the foot of the mountain?"
"We will do it ourselves."
"Hmph, you have to be able to find it."
"You don't have to worry about it." Great-grandmother said.
Great-grandmother felt that they didn't get along. She took her great-grandson's hand and strode away.
Li Xianyu finally looked back and saw the mottled shadows of the trees and the dilapidated temple. The Cat Fairy stood quietly and looked at the temple that was once glorious. There was a trace of desolation and loneliness in her back view.
The two of them walked halfway up the mountain. Great-grandmother suddenly stopped and stretched out her hand. "Give me that rat tail."
Great-grandmother cut off a rat tail in the water. Li Xianyu put it in his wallet. That tail could be used as an important evidence. It was not good to throw it in the field. Otherwise, it would be on the news tomorrow.
"Maoshan has a kind of Taoist magic. It can use a person's birth date, hair, nails, and other items as a medium to manipulate the target's words and actions. It can also be used to find people and corpses." Great-grandmother said.
She picked up a branch and drew a talisman in the soil. She pulled her great-grandson over and kissed his neck.
Li Xianyu was stunned. The next moment, there was a sharp pain in his neck. Great-grandmother bit his carotid artery. She sucked a big mouthful of blood and sprayed it on the rat tail and the talisman. After doing all this, Great-grandmother flicked her finger and a flame appeared.
The talisman and the rat tail were burning.
Li Xianyu felt wronged and pressed the wound on his neck. He said in his heart, "I knew it wouldn't be so good."
After a few minutes, the flame gradually extinguished. The rat tail turned into ashes. A blood light rose from the ashes and floated into the forest.
The two of them followed the blood light and passed through the forest. After a cup of tea time, the blood light stopped in front of a hidden cave covered by branches and leaves.
"It's inside." Great-grandmother waved her hand and the blood light dissipated.
Having an elder at home was like having a treasure. This saying was so right. Great-grandmother was experienced and proficient in all kinds of postures. She was a great help.
The cave was two meters wide and three meters high. There were no signs of artificial excavation. It was not natural either. It must have been dug by the rat spirit. There was a rotten and damp smell in the air. It was very unpleasant.
Li Xianyu shone his flashlight and saw a pair of scarlet eyes. It was a huge rat the size of a buffalo. There were many wounds on its shiny body and half of its tail was broken.
After sensing that its territory was invaded, it straightened up and bared its teeth at the two of them. It looked fierce.
"Beat it." Great-grandmother said in a crisp voice.
The grandmother and granddaughter rushed up together.
The cave wasn't big, so it greatly restricted the rat spirit's movements. After the great-grandmother dodged the rat spirit's aggressive bite, she kicked the rat spirit's huge body and sent it sprawling on all fours with a high kick.
The grandmother and granddaughter rushed up and began to torture it inhumanely. The rat spirit's shrill screams came from the cave.
The rat spirit was not strong. Li Xianyu estimated that it was about the same level as him. If it was a one-on-one fight, Li Xianyu could win as long as he avoided its sharp teeth. Not to mention that Great-grandmother was personally fighting.
After a long time, the rat spirit squeaked. Its eyes were full of begging and fear. It put its two short claws together and kept bowing to them, begging for mercy.
"Great-grandmother, stop. If you continue, it will die." Li Xianyu shouted.
Great-grandmother looked at him blankly. She was quite surprised by his kindness. The purpose of their trip, apart from increasing Li Xianyu's knowledge, was to devour ordinary strong blood descendants and strengthen their great-grandson's strength by devouring their blood essence and Qi.
"This fellow is on the path of bloodline seething. Its bestial nature overpowers its intelligence. It will only be a disaster if it is kept alive. Who knows if it will lose its mind one day and start eating people." Great-grandmother warned.
"Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I feel that something is wrong. Let's interrogate it first."
"You can understand the words of a rat?"
"I can't, but someone, no, a rat can." Li Xianyu took out his phone and dialed the number of the Hui Family's master.
He briefly explained the situation with the rat spirit. "It destroyed the ships along the way and caused a lot of damage. However, I still haven't figured out its purpose. I will give it a chance. If it can give a reasonable explanation, I will let it go and allow it to join the Hui Family in the northeast. "
When the Hui Family's master heard that the rat spirit had the strength of a mid-level employee, he immediately wanted to recruit it. He patted his chest and guaranteed, "See, even a rat with bloodline seething won't kill people for no reason. Our Hui Family is the purest. We only come out occasionally to eat food that humans have forgotten. We are different from the bewitching goods of the Bai, Huang, Liu, and Hu families."
"Cut the crap." Li Xianyu turned on the hands-free mode and placed the phone next to the rat spirit's ear.
To prevent it from suddenly turning around and biting off her great-grandson's hand, Great-grandmother stepped on its head.
The Hui Family's master said, "What's wrong with you, little brother?"
The rat spirit: "???"
The Hui Family's master: "Squeak squeak!"
The rat spirit was stunned and became agitated. "Squeak squeak squeak!"
The Hui Family's master: "Squeak squeak, squeak squeak!"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak."
The Hui Family's master: "Squeak squeak, squeak squeak."
