Chapter 85 Talismans
The kitten looked at it and was startled, thinking, "Oh my god, where are the big guys coming from?" He rushed up and grabbed and bite them, took the big cucumber away and ate them!
After that, the old people said that cats are the nemesis of men and cannot be raised!
It is also said that there are many eunuchs in the S S generation!
Chen Fan didn't know if this story was true. After reading it, he gave up his plan to raise a kitten. He has been practicing Taoism since he was a child, and his lower body is extremely brave. Sometimes when he wakes up in the morning, he can startle a small tent below and startle him.
When he was a child, he always wondered if he had something wrong with his hard work, because his grandfather always told him that he could not see the places where his elder sister could not see, and he would be blind and turn into a stone after seeing it.
When he was young and ignorant, he thought that the hard thing under him was about to start turning into stones, and he was also worried and trepidated for a while!
Having said that, although Chen Fan cannot raise cats, his favorability for cats has not decreased. He really likes this smart and cute little guy. Although it is always cold and not clingy compared to puppies and cats, some of the characteristics of the kitten still deeply attracts him.
Among the stories my grandmother told him, there were many of them about kittens. What impressed Chen Fan the most was the saying that the old cat could speak.
Grandma said that cats can speak, but they just refused to say that if the cat suddenly speaks one day, something big will definitely happen, but this matter is good or bad, and it is not accurate.
There was once a story. Born in the Song Dynasty, it was said that during the Southern Song Dynasty, a man named "Gong Ji" went to the Jinshi exam. On the days when the list of songs, something strange happened at home. The hens crowed, mice ran around the ground, and the furniture, utensils and clothing at home moved their own places. Even the old dogs raised at home found a hat and put them on and walked back and forth in the yard.
Everyone in the family was frightened and quickly found a witch named Xu Lao to come and see it.
That day, it was cold and Xu Lao sat facing the stove.
The old lady studied it for a long time and had no eyes. At this time, she looked at the stove, and a cat was lying on her slumbering and slept soundly.
Gong Ji's family said to Xu Lao: "Look, old man, everything in our house is not normal, this cat is normal, very calm."
Before he finished speaking, the cat opened his eyes, stood up, clasped his fists and bowed: "I dare not."
Xu Lao was so scared that she ran away.
No one believes her anymore after the fight.
Fortunately, this time the cat spoke, but it was a good sign.
Because news came in less than two days that Gong Ji was a Jinshi in high school, which was a great joy.
There is another story born in the village. Grandma told Chen Fan that the protagonist of the story is the barefoot doctor in the village, Mr. Luo Sanpao.
When Mr. Luo was young, he kept a cat at home. The old cat had been with forty years and had nothing to do. Later, a Taoist priest who could tell fortunes came to the village and told Luo Sanpao that your cat was going to become a spirit, so it was time to kill it! It would be unlucky to keep it!
As soon as he finished speaking, the old cat rushed out of the beam of the house and spitted at the fortune teller.
The fortune teller was startled and pointed at the old cat and scolded, saying that there is no dog for eight years and no chicken for six years. I see that I won’t accept you today!
After saying that, he flew up and went to hit the old cat.
I don’t expect the old cat to run very fast and it disappears in the blink of an eye.
The fortune teller had no choice but to say to Luo Sanpao's father, "You have to take my words seriously. This cat cannot be kept. I don't expect it to be reluctant to leave. I will definitely come back in a few days. Then you buy arsenic and put it in the cat's rice to poison it!"
Luo Sanpao's father bought arsenic according to the Taoist words, but he was reluctant to poison the old cat. The old cat left by himself as if he saw his embarrassment.
Later, Luo Sanpao saw the old cat again. When he saw the cat, he saw the old cat crying at their old man.
The old man was sleeping and was sleeping very hard. Luo Sanpao was still a child at that time and approached him and asked why the old cat was crying.
The old cat covered his face like a human and said, "The old man is not bad to me. He will leave these days, and I can't bear to leave!"
After saying that, the cat ran away and disappeared.
Luo Sanpao thought Lao Mao’s words were unlucky, but he didn’t take them seriously.
As a result, less than two days later, the old man died. When he went to the county town to buy medicine, it rained heavily. The donkey cart overturned into the ravine. When it was revealed, the person had already died.
The family buried Luo Sanpao's father in the mountain. After that, they often saw an old cat crying on the grave.
Luo Sanpao sighed that the old cat was affectionate and loyal, but after he beat the old man and died, the old cat never appeared in the village again.
Chen Fan asked his grandfather about the old cat, and Chen Guangdou also told Chen Fan that Chen Guangdou said that the cat of Luo Sanpao's family is a four-eared fairy cat with spirituality. This kind of cat is the most warding off evil spirits. When ordinary evil objects see it, they have to hide away.
Chen Guangdou also specifically instructed him not to get too close to it when he met it. Chen Fan didn't understand why his grandfather said that at that time, but later he understood.
Grandpa refused to keep cats not because men did not keep cats, but because cats and ghosts really don’t like it.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan naturally remembered the young lady's words. The young lady asked Chen Fan to kill it, but Chen Fan was still unwilling to be cruel.
He reached out to break the rabbit meat apart, took the rabbit's head off first and threw it to the cat. The old cat picked it up at the door and started to chew it. In fact, the rabbit meat was a little raw and not cooked thoroughly, but Chen Fan was so hungry that he couldn't care about that much.
He ate two rabbit legs and was basically full. The remaining rabbit heart and rabbit liver were left, and most of the rest were given to it.
The old cat was having a great time eating, and before he knew it, it had already made a gurgling sound.
Chen Fan sat cross-legged on the small bed and looked up and down. He found that the cat's ears were slightly larger than those of ordinary cats. There was a bunch of small black hair on the top of the ears, and there were also a pair of small ears in the cat's ears. It was not very obvious, and you could see it carefully.
Chen Fan thought about it and thought, was this what grandpa called the four-eared fairy cat?
Thinking of this, he asked again with courage, "Cat, can you speak?"
This time the old cat did not show a very disgusting expression. It held the rabbit bone with its two front paws, while opening its mouth to chew the things in its mouth. Its big eyes looked up and down, as if an old scholar was looking at a primary school student who was sent to his parents.
"It seems you won't." Chen Fan gave up, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm in trouble and need your help. There is a fat monk who is doing something to harm me. I must fight back before he kills me. Someone told me that your blood can break his method, can you help me?"
Chen Fan didn't know why he said this, but that's what he said.
The old cat seemed to understand his words, and was stunned for a moment, and he didn't move for a long time.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I just want to find someone to talk to you." Chen Fan picked the rabbit heart and put it in his mouth to taste it. This thing is very powerful, and it would be even better if there were some seasonings.
"Gululu." The old cat didn't open his mouth, and his body trembled, making a very strange sound.
Chen Fan tilted his head and looked at it, "What do you want to say to me?"
"Gurgle." The old cat screamed again, and this time, he didn't open his mouth either.
Chen Fan felt that this cat must have something to say to him, but he didn't understand.
Seeing that the pull on the candlestick was about to burn out, he packed up the things on the ground and placed them about one meter away from the old cat, "I'm going to bed, see you tomorrow."
The next morning, the cries of birds came from outside. Chen Fan woke up with a tremor. The cat disappeared, but the bones on the ground were still there.
Chen Fan rubbed his eyelids and sat upright, his face tightened and uncomfortable.
He wanted to see how the heavy rain last night was going on. As soon as he got out of bed, he felt a crisp sound under his feet. He looked down and saw something under his feet was trampled.
Chen Fan didn't remember that there was such a thing on the ground, so he bent down to see it. When he picked up the things on the ground, a very strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
What's this?
It looked like a tube made of bamboo, with wax sealed on it, and something like yellow paper in the bamboo tube. I stepped on it just now and it was a bit dirty.
Chen Fan pulled out the paper inside bit by bit. The paper was a little wrinkled and looked quite complete. He tilted his body and looked carefully and found that it was a piece of yellow paper, very much like the kind used to visit the grave.
Someone wrote a talisman on the yellow paper with killing. Unlike other people's talismans, the talisman head of this talisman is a green-faced and fanged ghost head. It looks like an evil ghost opening his mouth and sticking out his tongue. His tongue stretches out to the bottom. There are a line of boys in the middle, and there are many strange symbols around that look like words but not words!
Chen Fan looked at the talisman carefully for several days, and suddenly felt aroused and took a breath of air conditioning!
This is the "Ghost King Talisman" recorded in the Ghost Talisman Sutra! A powerful talisman that can summon the Ghost King!
Chen Fan had seen the style of this talisman for a long time, but his ghost veins were not formed and he could not control such a powerful talisman. Now seeing it, Chen Fan's heart beats violently.
He thought to himself, where did this treasure come out? There was such a powerful talisman appearing on the floor?
Thinking of this, Chen Fan looked around with great joy and looked carefully. Sure enough, there were several similar bamboo tubes on the floor between the bed and the coffin!
Chen Fan collected all the bamboo tubes and looked carefully. There were five in total. These five bamboo tubes had talismans, but the styles were not very similar.
Chen Fan took out the talismans one by one, and then he finally distinguished them. Only after subdividing them, did he realize that there were three ghost king talismans, one life-seeking talisman, and one soul-wrenching talisman here!
"That's great!" Chen Fan was so happy that he almost jumped up when he saw the style of the talisman. He thought to himself, "Good monk, if you have these talismans, don't run away!"
