The years of reselling the haunted house

Hearing this, I questioned: "Old Ma, what you said is a bit outrageous, right? Why does this involve cultivating immortals? Is it possible that this cat has become a cat immortal?"

Ma Di scolded: "Nonsense. Who said that it is a cat fairy? Listen to me. According to records, a cat that has practiced will grow a tail every 20 years, so the more tails the cat has, the better it is. Deep. When it grows nine tails, the cat will become a cat fairy."

I thought to myself, aren’t you still a cat fairy?

Just as I was about to say something, Uncle San waved his hand at me, motioning for me to listen to what Ma Su had to say.

Ma Di went on to say: "Of course, these records are just wild ambitions of gods, so they can't be taken as true. But the theory about reincarnated cats is still credible. A cat's tail will be born every 20 years. Legend. But according to research, black cats have the attribute of reincarnation. Every time they reincarnate, a pinch of white hairs will grow on their tails. According to your description, the black cats with white hairs on their tails are most likely A reincarnated cat."

I looked at the third uncle in astonishment, and the third uncle nodded at me, obviously he also agreed with Ma Su's point of view.

Ma Di started the topic and continued with great interest: "The biggest characteristic of reincarnated cats is to protect their master. It is said that they only trust their first master. Even after the master dies, the cat will die. Reincarnated into another black cat, the reincarnated descendant who continues to follow the owner. And the cat and the owner will form a tacit understanding, no matter how far away they can find each other. So you said that you saw the cat skin, it is very likely that it is alive That black cat was the black cat in its previous life. Xiao Li, where are you now? How about I go to help, and I also want to meet the reincarnated black cat..."

Ma Di wanted to continue talking, but the third uncle nodded at me, and then shouted into the microphone: "Okay, blame the old man, I don't bother you, it's useless if you come..."

As soon as Ma Di heard the third uncle's voice, he immediately shouted furiously: "You are also here? Smelly Taoist priest, if I knew you were there, I would not say it. Where are you dare to tell me? I still told me about the last time." You're not done yet..."

It's ridiculous to say that this Ma Di usually studies knowledge, so it can be said that he doesn't care about world affairs, and he rarely talks to others except for that little bit of knowledge.It's an exception for me, and it's an exception for my third uncle.Usually gentle and gentle, when he saw the third uncle, he immediately became violent.I don't remember when the two formed a beam.

But I also know that the two people just stay in a simple verbal and physical conflict, and there is no substantive conflict.Most of the time it is just seen as two old urchins fighting, so I don't care too much.

This time the third uncle made Ma Su very angry again, so I quickly pressed the phone, otherwise the blame professor might turn his anger on me.

After putting down the phone, Third Uncle held his stomach and laughed for a long time.

I hurriedly said: "Okay, third uncle, it's almost enough. I haven't been in shape all day long. Does what the old horse said help us?"

The third uncle nodded and said with a smile: "This strange old man, I have to say that there is really something in my stomach. I can't accept it in this regard. It's right to ask him about it. I think he is right. Now it is basically certain that in the The cat's grievances in the house came from the cat's skin, but I don't know how the cat died, so the grievance would be so big. If the black cat that Fei Yao later adopted was a reincarnated cat, it means that it was a Fei Yao is the owner. Because it has been wandering around, it didn't officially live in the attic until Fei Yao appeared."

I went on to say: "That means that Fei Yao's previous life was also the owner of the black cat's previous life, that is to say, Fei Yao's previous life was the owner of the dead cat on the bed..."

A paragraph of what I said was like a tongue twister, which almost confused me.

But the third uncle understood, and he nodded: "That's right. Although we didn't go out today, we gained a lot. Let's have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow morning, we will go to the attic to look again."

"Are you trying to find something?"

The third uncle pointed at me and praised: "What did I say, you boy, you just have talent."

Chapter 65 The Dead Lilac Tree

I waved my hand: "Don't come here. What are you looking for?"

The third uncle shook his head and said, "How would I know?"

I was dizzy: "You don't know what else to look for?"

The third uncle glared at me: "You boy, I just praised you for being talented. I didn't know what, so I went looking for it. Think about it, didn't Fei Yao rummage around when she went back? I think this Certainly not of her own will."

I nodded: "That is to say, she was controlled by other things. In fact, that thing wanted to find such a thing. Could it be the cat's fault?"

"I can't tell. It may be something else. The attic is too old. There are too many things hidden in it, so it will be difficult to judge alone. Before we find out the truth of the matter, we will not stay at night." went."

Thinking about everything I experienced at night, I still feel my scalp tingling, and hearing what Uncle San said, it's the best.

I also understand that Uncle San's next plan is to go to the attic to search for things. It is still unknown whether he can find anything.

I slept well that night, and Third Uncle also recovered a lot of energy. When we woke up the next morning, we were basically resurrected with full blood.Since we were working during the day, we only prepared some necessary things and prepared to get on the bus and go to the ancient street.

In the car, I asked my third uncle if I should take Xu Ruoxi with me.

The third uncle glared at me: "You don't have such a burden, don't you feel bad? Let me tell you, bringing her into the attic, I fucking regret it."

But I said, "Third Uncle, it's a bit too much for you to say that. If she hadn't reminded us, we wouldn't have thought of rushing out of that net, would we?"

The third uncle waved his hand impatiently: "Then he won't bring it either."

I shrugged my shoulders: "All right, all right, it's up to you to take it or not."

After I finished speaking, I laughed secretly in my heart, this time my third uncle wanted to cheat people, but I didn't expect to give myself a lot of fuss.

We drove to the ancient street again, this time we were familiar with the road, and came directly to the door of the attic.

When passing through the ancient street, everything is as usual.The sun rises as usual, and the bricks and tiles of the ancient street, every plant and tree are so natural.Nothing changed because of what happened the night before.

I even feel that there are more visitors today than that day.

We came to the gate of No. 14 Ancient Street, the gate was ajar, and I can still recall the scene of us running out of the gate in embarrassment.

Fortunately, it's daytime now, otherwise, if you give me some courage, I wouldn't dare to take half a step here.

Even so, before entering the door, the third uncle still asked me to surround the black tiger with a net and a mahogany sword.When he did that, I got nervous again.

The third uncle saw that I was ready, so he stepped forward and gently opened the courtyard door, and walked in.

I also followed in. Although the sun was not very bright at this time, and most of the courtyard was covered by the courtyard wall, it still looked very depressed and deserted.There are still many messy cat paw prints left on the ground, so dense that it is impossible to see the number.

The third uncle first stood in the middle of the yard, looked around for a while, and then walked towards the two lilac trees.

When the third uncle came here last night, he found that the two lilac trees were not normal.It's just that we didn't stay here too much to observe because of the darkness.This time, the third uncle set his sights here again.

When he got near the lilac tree, Third Uncle suddenly stopped in his tracks as if he had discovered something.

I followed and found something strange.

The ground was densely covered with footprints left by those cats, but only within one meter around a lilac tree, the ground was kept extremely smooth without any trace of footprints.

It is not difficult to imagine the scene at that time, a large number of cats gathered in this yard, but only under this lilac tree, those cats did not dare to go too far.

What was even more bizarre was that after only two days, the lilac tree had withered.

When we came last night, although a lot of leaves were pulled down from this tree, it was still alive, and some of the remaining leaves were still green.But by this time, the leaves had turned yellow, and the branches and trunk had become dry, looking like a dead tree.

According to the laws of nature, the death of a tree is inevitable, but it is obviously abnormal to die like this in just two days.

The third uncle frowned, stepped forward with the mahogany sword in hand, and looked under the tree.

He pierced the mahogany sword into the ground for more than half a foot, then lifted the sword up, and a sword hole appeared in the ground.

Then, he took out a box of matches from his bag and lit one with a snap.

The flames blazed up, and the third uncle put the flames on top of the sword hole.

Something unexpected happened, the flame flickered a few times, and went out with a puff.

"Third Uncle, what's going on?"

The third uncle took the matches, and said in a deep voice: "Under the tree, there is all dead energy. The soil has no vitality at all, and there is no earth energy. Without the earth energy, no wonder the tree will wither like this. There must be something under here , There are tools in the trunk of the car, bring them here and let's dig."

I responded, went to the car outside, and took a set of digging tools.It's a tool like a simple foldable engineer shovel, which is relatively portable. The third uncle has been throwing it in the trunk all the time, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

I was holding an engineering pickaxe, and my third uncle was holding an engineering shovel, working together.The soil under the tree was very dry and not sticky, and it was not very difficult to dig. After a while, we dug down more than a foot deep.

When I dug down, I found that the roots of the tree were all rotten.

After I dealt with the root of the tree, I simply uprooted the dead tree with all my strength.

We dug down another two feet, about one meter in total, and the third uncle suddenly shouted: "Yes, be careful."

We carefully cleaned up the surrounding soil, and a box was gradually exposed.

Seeing the box, I was pleasantly surprised: "Third Uncle, this can't be ocean or jewelry buried here by rich people, right?"

The third uncle snorted coldly: "Death comes from this box, even if it is jewelry and oceans, do you dare to use it? Stop talking nonsense, put on leather gloves, and dig that box up."

I nodded, and then planed a few picks along the box, and gently lifted the box out of the ground.

There was still a lot of floating dirt on the box, so the third uncle took a look at me and asked, "Yangzi, let me test you, what do you think this box is made of?"

"It should be a copper box, right? As you said, copper can lock the soul. Usually things like this are made of copper boxes." I responded.

The third uncle nodded: "I have made progress, as expected of me, Li Dongbin, who taught you. This is not in vain for my cultivation of you."

Chapter 66

I smiled wryly and said, "Third Uncle, I beg you not to praise me in the future. Every time you praise me, I feel like you are complimenting yourself."

The third uncle said seriously, "I'm just seeking truth from facts."

"So, am I right? Is the chest really a copper chest?"

Uncle San nodded affirmatively: "Of course, you know Uncle San's knowledge. If it wasn't made of copper, I would have eaten it."

As he said that, Uncle San casually tapped the edge of the box with the engineering shovel in his hand.

Unexpectedly, just like that, the box fell apart with a crash.

This shocked me and third uncle, no one thought that the box would be so bad.But one thing is certain, that is, this box is not [-]% copper.

I glanced at Uncle San and asked, "Uncle San, I didn't expect you to have such a strong taste. Do you want to eat steamed or braised? My nephew, I will process it for you right away."

Third Uncle's face turned red and turned white, a little embarrassed.But he quickly recovered, and said brazenly: "Well, this... Eldest nephew, third uncle will teach you again, if we get something from the haunted house, don't pay attention to the outer packaging, the important thing is The contents inside. Like this box..."

As he spoke, Uncle San picked up the scattered boxes with his engineering shovel and began to rummage inside.

I laughed to myself, pretending to be stupid, this is also the usual style of my third uncle.

That box is not copper, it should be wooden.The wood was very rotten and rotted in many places.When it was just unearthed, it was still intact. It is normal to see the sun outside, be blown by the wind, and fall apart when touched by the third uncle.

The third uncle picked out some intact pieces of broken wood, laid them aside, looked at them for a while and said, "Sure enough. Although this box is made of wood, there are spells drawn on the surface of the box. These spells Sealing the box is the same as locking the soul in the copper box."

According to the third uncle, sealing the box with a spell means that there must be something in the box that needs to be sealed.

Maybe the things that Fei Yao rummaged around at that time were in this box.That's why she frantically rummaged through the house and returned without success.

When the third uncle pushed aside all the pieces of the box, there was a piece of red cloth wrapped in the box.

I poked it lightly with a mahogany sword, and it was so hard that I couldn't feel what it was.

I glanced at Third Uncle, who nodded at me.

I used my mahogany sword to gently pick out the red cloth that was wrapped outside, layer by layer, until the last layer of red cloth was removed, and the things inside were fully presented in front of us.

"Ah..." It really was a strange thing in a strange box. Although I was prepared, I couldn't help but screamed again.

Inside is a flayed animal that looks like a cat.

We have been surrounded by black cats since we came here, and we were even attacked by a group of cats.It is not surprising that a dead cat appears in the box.The strange thing is that the cat had been buried in the box for an unknown number of years, but instead of decomposing, it turned into a mummified corpse.Moreover, the mummy was strangled with iron wires tied around its body.

It was the skinned mummy of a cat.

The third uncle was not too surprised. He looked at the mummy cat with a mahogany sword, and finally picked it up.Looking at the cat's corpse, I couldn't bear it any longer, and squatted aside, vomiting wildly.

After a while, the third uncle said: "Don't throw up, come and have a look."

I held back my nausea, covered my mouth and moved over.

"Yangzi, isn't it a little strange for you to look at the cat's belly?"

After being reminded by my third uncle, I paid attention to the cat's stomach.Only then did I realize that the cat's stomach was bulging outwards, as if it had been inflated.

"Is there something in your stomach?" I asked.

The third uncle nodded, took out a fruit knife from his body, and was about to cut the cat's belly.

"Third Uncle, don't you have too much taste? This cat may just be pregnant." I reminded.

The third uncle glared at me: "Fart, this is obviously a male cat, what kind of pregnancy is it. You are so talkative, why don't you come?"

I quickly covered my mouth and ran away for a distance.

The third uncle shook his head resentfully, pressed the cat to the ground, and cut open the cat's stomach with the fruit knife.

Click, something fell out of the cat's stomach.

The outside of the thing was covered with blood stains, and because it had been too long, it didn't emit any special smell.

This also aroused my curiosity, so I slowly leaned over to look at it.

The third uncle was going to disgust me to the end, he put on the leather gloves, and began to peel off the things that fell out of the cat's stomach.Judging from the size of the thing, it does look like a kitten.But not four-legged, obviously not as I imagined.Thinking about it, if it is really an unborn cat fetus, this is a bit too normal and does not conform to the norms of our industry.

When the third uncle had almost cleaned up the blood on the outside of the thing, he asked me to take a bottle of mineral water from the car and rinse it off.Only then did we understand that the thing turned out to be a wooden carving.

The wood carving was a woman in a cheongsam, and the carving technique was extremely exquisite, which can be called a stroke of genius.The woodcarving woman was very beautiful in appearance, but what is amazing is that the charm of an ancient woman on her body, as well as the faint sadness revealed between her brows, have been completely copied into this work by this engraver.

Looking at this wood carving, it is simply a miniature version of a real person.This kind of carving technology, I think no one can match it in modern times.

Who could this woodcarved woman be?Why was it put into the cat's belly?

The third uncle looked up at the lilac tree again, thought for a while, nodded and said, "I understand why the lilac tree suddenly withered. It turned out to be like this."

I asked: "Could it be that the earth energy in the soil has been absorbed by this thing. The tree withered quickly without the earth energy."

The third uncle nodded: "That's right. But you're only half right. Even without the earth's energy, the tree wouldn't die so quickly. It's because the wooden figurine not only absorbed the earth's energy, but also released the death energy .The dead air flows from the roots of the lilac tree to the trunk, and the tree will die quickly."
