Hey, our princess is a fairy

Song Bai looked at the shopkeeper who carefully said the word cat demon, with a look of surprise:

"Cat demon?"

Lin Feng on the side sniffed vigorously: "There is no evil spirit?"

The fat shopkeeper waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this first, the guest officials haven't eaten yet? What do you want to eat?"

Duan Kai sat on the edge of the table with a smile, and said with a smile: "When I come to Longjiang Mansion, I naturally want to eat pork vermicelli. What else is delicious?"

The fat shopkeeper said with a smile: "The red bean paste buns are also good? It's just a bit sweet, do you want to try it?"

Duan Kai nodded, the fat shopkeeper came down and greeted us with food, we sat around the table, the candles on it were dim, as if the lamp oil was low.

Song Bochong waved to Xiaoer: "Hey, buddy, your lamp oil is almost gone."

Xiao Er smiled flatteringly at us when he heard the words: "My lords, it's not that I didn't let you light it up, but I lit the oil lamp like this on purpose."

Song Bai was taken aback: "Why? To save money?"

Xiao Er shook his head: "No, lighting it too brightly will attract cat demons, and people will die at that time!" After finishing speaking, he shivered as if remembering something.

I took a chopstick and bit it in my mouth, and said vaguely: "Why are there demons everywhere?"

Duan Kai reached out and took the chopsticks out of my mouth, and turned to urge Xiaoer: "Go and urge the food, there is a hungry person on our side who wants to eat chopsticks."

Xiao Er groaned and ran down. I gave Duan Kai a blank look, snatched the chopstick, and held it in my hand to play with without putting it in my mouth.

Lu Chen also had a complicated expression on his face: "Maybe it's a coincidence. Now the demon world has already signed an agreement with the cultivation world, and there are very few demons going to cause trouble in the world."

I smacked my lips and tilted my head. The demon world has signed a contract with the cultivation world. When I was practicing, the demon world and the cultivation world were still at war, and even the mortal world was affected a lot.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Er was carrying a pot of fragrant pork vermicelli. Large pieces of meat were dyed the honey color of soy sauce, mixed with vermicelli, and piled up in the pot like a hill.

The fat shopkeeper followed behind Xiao Er, carrying a few drawers, which were steaming white, and inside should be the red bean paste buns that the shopkeeper said.

After the shopkeeper put it down, I stretched out my chopsticks to pick up a white steamed bun, opened it, and the sweet smell mixed with the noodle fragrance came out.

I took a bite and squinted.

It's a pleasure to have something delicious.

Duan Kai picked up a chopstick of pork vermicelli, swallowed it, and pointed to the empty seat next to him: "Shopkeeper, don't stand still, sit down! Let's eat together."

Song Bai quickly pulled out the stool next to him.

The shopkeeper declined for a while, sat down, and asked Xiaoer to go to the back kitchen to bring some side dishes for dinner.

After the shopkeeper sat down, he exchanged some pleasantries. He knew that his surname was Wang, and he had been doing some small business in Longjiang Mansion for generations.

Song Bai looked at him with a smile and asked, "Shopkeeper, just now you have been talking about cat monsters, what's going on?"

Shopkeeper Wang put down his chopsticks and sighed: "Actually, it's quite scary to talk about it seriously. It started from the civet cat temple three months ago."

"The civet cat temple?" I bit a bean paste bun and asked, "What kind of temple is that? Are there cats enshrined in it?"

"Hey." Duan Kai laughed: "I've seen people who worship gods and Buddhas, and cats? What the hell?"

Shopkeeper Wang smiled: "Because of the fertile soil, our Longjiang Mansion grows a lot of food and so on. When there is more food, there will be rats, so the civet cat temple came into being."

"Oh." I nodded and asked, "Spirit?"

Shopkeeper Wang replied: "It's okay. When our crops are ripe, those farmers will go to pay homage to the civets. Some farmers say that at night, they will see groups of wild cats patrolling around the warehouse where they store grain like guards. The people who see them are not yet. Not much. Over time, the reputation of the civet cat temple has spread, and the incense is still quite prosperous."

After a pause, he said with a smile: "However, I always believe it or not. Those farmers swear that they saw the civet cat, but there are many people who have never seen it. It's not sure. But the statue of the civet cat temple is cute. It's tight, let's say goodbye and play, that's all."

Lin Feng nodded, swallowed the vermicelli and pieces of meat in his mouth, and wiped his mouth: "Isn't the civet cat temple good? Why did the rumor of the cat demon finally spread?"

Shopkeeper Wang frowned: "That's what I want to talk about. The civet cat temple is in the east of the city. It was built by a big family here. It doesn't lock the door at night, so there will be some homeless people or people on the road. It has been safe and sound all the time. But about three months ago, when someone went to pay homage to the civet early in the morning, they found a homeless man dead inside, in a terrible state of death."

Duan Kai put a piece of meat in his mouth, chewing and chewing: "How miserable?"

Shopkeeper Wang lowered his voice: "It is said that his face was scratched to pieces, and his body was mostly wounded by biting. The most important thing is that he lost his heart."

"Heart?" Lu Chen, who had been listening quietly to the side, frowned: "What does the cat demon eat?"

Shopkeeper Wang shook his head: "I don't know, but it's more or less the same. There are bloody plum blossom footprints everywhere around the homeless man's body, and some people say that the homeless man has cat hair all over his body, and he also smells like a cat. "

"So you call it a cat demon?" I asked.

"Isn't that obvious enough?" Shopkeeper Wang said, "Afterwards, people died tragically every few days, sometimes in the temple, sometimes around the temple, and all of them were just like the first corpse, all of them lost their hearts. .”

"Although most of the dead were homeless, many of them were traveling at night. The government had been investigating with great fanfare for a while, but they had no clue, so they had to send a message to remind us not to go out at night. I see, they have nothing to do .”

Duan Kai frowned: "Why didn't the government report it to the court when such a big incident happened?"

Shopkeeper Wang smiled: "To be honest, the magistrate is a pretty good official. But no matter how good you are, you have to think about yourself, right? This year is the last year of the magistrate's term. If the performance is good, he can definitely go up to another level. If the court finds out about this matter, the restlessness of the jurisdiction will be enough for him, so he wants to keep it a secret and deal with it himself. I heard that he is now looking for a Taoist priest who can subdue demons!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lin Feng who was wearing a Taoist robe.

Lin Feng gave him a silly smile, picked up a bean paste bag, gnawed it, and his mouth was full of bean paste.

Shopkeeper Wang shook his head: "It's been three months, and the matter hasn't ended yet. Just a few days ago, another passer-by died. Counting that, there are no fewer than ten people. Now people are in panic. At night, The gates of every house are tightly closed, and they dare not even light the oil lamps too brightly."

I swallowed my last mouthful of food, hiccupped in satisfaction, and looked at shopkeeper Wang who was frowning, and was about to comfort him, when I heard a heart-piercing shout from outside:

"Help!!! The cat demon has killed people!!"

We looked at each other and raised our eyebrows, isn't it, what a coincidence?
