Chapter 24 Nine-tailed civet cat

After a while, the sky was completely dark. In the dark night, there were only two families in the houses of Changjiaying, one was the Chang family and the other was the Ding family.

Because the Chang family settled later, the house was built and the village was still a distance away from the mixed place, so they could only see the faint lights, and they could not tell which one was the one that was lit. People in the old society were very superstitious. Seeing the ghostly fire-like lights, his wife Luo was basically mentally broken. During the day, every household moved in a crowded manner, and the whole village had basically gone clean, but at night, the village still had lights. Could it be a ghost?

Thinking of this, his wife Luo began to beg Ding Yi to leave Changjiaying again. During the day, the couple had already fought for this matter. Dante Yi was a more traditional man, and he would rather die at the hands of ghosts and gods than be pulled back to Beijing by someone in a prison cart, and then beheaded in the saliva of the people.

"Then he can't find a village to accommodate?" Hearing this, Zhang Guozhong felt that these old people were too ruthless and ran all the way to darkness. Not to mention that ten years have passed, Emperor Daoguang has passed away, and no one remembers that this is not necessarily true. Just the huge changes in his appearance over the past ten years (the hair is all white and the aging speed is faster than ordinary people), in modern times, it should be safer than having plastic surgery. Besides, the world is in chaos at this time, who has the heart to care about this fortune teller who has long been unrecognizable?

"Teacher Zhang, you don't know anything. During these ten years, Ding Yi was basically a prisoner. Changjiaying was a small mountain village with blocked news. Ding Yiyi didn't know anything about major events like Daoguang's death and Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. According to the records in this book "Xiaochen's Legacy", Ding Yi accidentally looked at the celestial phenomena. The main star was dazzling and the guest star was dim. Ding Yi believed that the Qing Dynasty had made a comeback, which also aggravated his fear of the previous crime of deceiving the emperor and ruining the country. However, according to the historical facts of later generations, this heavenly appearance is likely to indicate that the Qing Dynasty is about to be exhausted and it will be back." Sun Ting is not only responsible for telling stories, but also answering Zhang Guozhong's doubts tirelessly.

"Xiaochen's Legacy"? What book is this?" Zhang Guozhong took a ragged ancient book from Sun Ting, "What kind of celebrity is this Ding Yi? Why have he entered the records of ancient books?"

"Haha, this book was written by Ding Yi during his time in Changjiaying. Some of the stories I just told are recorded in this book. In addition, this book also records Ding Yi's lifelong learning, from divination to star-watching Feng Shui, and some medical records..." Sun Ting took a breath, "It's a pity that Ding Yi died tragically in Changjiaying not long after, and this book was not finally completed."

"Oh?" Zhang Guozhong flipped through the book curiously, "How did he die? It was related to the thing that violated ghosts and gods? I thought he could be spared after hearing you said that he had calculated the hexagram of the dark willows and bright flowers."

"No, the hexagram of the dark and bright will not refer to himself, but his family, his wife and children..."

Ding Yi was a little shaken by his wife's plea. To be honest, Ding Yi was not a god, but a fortune teller. He knew how to drive away ghosts and evil spirits, but he was definitely not a master, at least he was not as physically strong. At this time, the strange things in Changjiaying were obviously not ordinary things. With the appearance of the light at night, Ding Yi was also weak, but at this moment it was night, and even if he left, he had to wait for tomorrow. In desperation, Ding Yi took out the hexagram and spread out the hexagram of the innate hexagram. If the light was not emitted by a human, then only the innate hexagram could be calculated.

As soon as the hexagram came out, Ding Yi was really surprised and happy, "The sky was at night, and everything was at peace." From the hexagram, as long as you go to that place with lights, you can ensure peace.

Ding Yi used the things he could find at home to simply take some protective measures for himself and his wife, put two demon mirrors passed down by the master on the necks of the two children, and then tied the wrists of the family of four together with a red rope, and set up lanterns to walk towards the bright spot in the middle of the village.

In the bright spot, it was about two or three hundred meters away from Ding Yi's house. It was only a few minutes' road. However, when Ding Yi walked, he felt extremely long and the wind was heard along the way. Not to mention the children and his wife, even Ding Yi himself was frightened. He stayed in Changjiaying for more than ten years and had never walked through this road at night, but he never felt so strange. In addition to always hearing strange sounds like broken wood and stones falling into the water from Siwa, the mirror of the two children's necks was also endless.

Ding Yi's master said that this demon mirror is a treasure for housekeeping and is not for protection. It is okay to protect Ichigo occasionally, but it can only block ordinary ghosts and monsters. If the demon mirror sounds by itself, it means that it is washed away by something. If it becomes a climate, the demon mirror will be spent. To be honest, Ding Yi's master is called Lou Moxun, and he is not a big man. The demon mirror is not a shocking treasure after being passed down. Therefore, every few steps along the way, Ding Yi had to see if the demon mirror flowers were not in the flowers, so he simply walked straight to the place where the light was. The demon mirror was still very bright.

Ding Yi was not surprised to find that the place where the lights were turned on was the Chang family. The old lady used to only look at the villagers. Now that the villagers are all gone, she is old and has difficulty walking, and she can't walk far away. She will die everywhere. If she were herself, she would probably choose to stay, and maybe she could live a few more days.

After the family entered the house, Chang was so scared that he shivered on the kang. He found that Ding Yi and his family were coming in, so he fell on the bed.

When Ding saw that the old lady seemed to have not eaten for a day and was so hungry, she took out dry food and asked Luo to make a fire, and prepared to make some porridge. At this moment, a fierce cat moan suddenly came from the yard, and then a harsh sound of scratching the door came. Ding's scalp tightened. The cats, dogs, chickens and ducks in the village had been running away for eight lifetimes, so why did there be cats?

When he heard the cat scratching the door, Chang hurriedly went downstairs and limped to open the door. It would be strange if he said that Chang was a cripple man and was not young anymore. He would say that he hadn't had eaten for a day, but seeing his enthusiasm for going downstairs and opening the door, he looked like a young man in his twenties.

After the door was opened, a huge black spotted raccoon cat limped into the house from outside the door, with bloodshots on its nostrils, mouth and eyes, as if it had just fought with something else. Seeing this scene, Chang hugged the cat in his arms, limped back to the kang, and gave his broken quilt to the cat cover.

I heard from Chang that about two months ago, a big raccoon cat came in the family for no reason. Chang was lonely living alone, so he kept the cat for his companionship. Although his food was not rich, he still had to be evenly prepared for the cat to eat at every meal. The cat was quite energetic. Although he didn't eat much every day and was getting thinner every day, the chicks hatched by the old hens raised by Chang would not take a look evenly even if they walked under his nose. What Chang would eat every day, what he ate, sweet potatoes, yams, cornmeal, etc.

As for the bran, these people are hard to swallow. Ordinary cats can't even smell anything. As long as it was given by Chang, the big black cat would definitely accept it all, and even lick the food bowl was clean, not bad at all. This time, something happened in Chang's camp, and the raccoon was gone. Chang suddenly felt that the situation was hopeless and even the cat didn't care about him. Who could still care? Neighbor Chang Wu advised Chang to escape, but was rejected by Chang's mouth. The cat's disappearance was also one of the main reasons. But unexpectedly, when the fierce ghosts were on patrol in the middle of the night, the cat came back instead.

After hearing what Chang said, Ding Yi wanted to give Chang a divination, and by the way, he also looked at the origin of the big black cat. However, just halfway through the innate divination, the wind suddenly broke out outside the house, and the frames of the windows and doors were blown. The magic mirror on the eldest son's neck suddenly clanged, and Ding Yi almost dropped the divination mark on the ground. He picked up the magic mirror and saw five or six scratches on the mirror. Ding Yi's hand trembled on the spot. Didn't he say he was restless? What's going on?

The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, and the big black raccoon cat seemed to be getting more and more nervous. Ding Yi asked the two Luo family to hold the two children and squeeze on the bed with Chang family, then took out a can of incense ash from the package and sprinkled it on the windowsill and the door ridge, and took off the two demon mirrors on the child's neck, hanging them on the door and on the window. The crackling sound of the door and window immediately stopped. After about half an hour, watching the cat gradually quiet down, Ding Yi trembled with a bowl of porridge from the pot to the traumatized wife and Chang family (there is only one bowl in the Chang family).

Just as Ding Yi was about to go to the side of the pot and scoop a few sips of rice soup with a spoon, the big black raccoon cat suddenly glanced and screamed again, and stood directly opposite the door of the door. All the hairs were erected, like a fight. The incense ash on the threshold seemed to be blown by a person, and it was blown clean from left to right. The demon mirror on the door fell to the ground with a clang.

Ding Yi's youngest son screamed at this time and peed on the spot. The eldest son simply pierced into Luo's arms and didn't dare to look at anything.

"Mom..." The youngest son pointed at the cat and cried, "Why do that cat has so many tails..."

Ding Yi was also surprised by his youngest son's words. Among the animals, not only are snakes, foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, rabbits, and cats also practice immortality, but few cats who have cultivated climate have nine tails, but most people cannot see them.

"Could this raccoon cat be a beast to cultivate immortals?" Ding Yi stood behind the raccoon cat, holding a peach branch tremblingly, staring at the door, and only listening to the clatter of the door, just like someone repeatedly bounced with a few fingers from outside the door. Ding Yi knew that this was called a ghost knocking. The so-called "not doing bad things, not being afraid of ghost knocking on the door" refers to this, but after all, within a radius of more than ten miles, it can be said that only these five people are left. The strange death of the villagers, coupled with the sound of ghost knocking on the door in the middle of the night, if ordinary people really encounter this situation, it is enough to drink a pot of bad things...
