Fantasia: The blind man at the beginning starts with playing the erhu

Snow fell like goose feathers again on Yanzhou.

Although it was snowing, there was not much wind.

Snowflakes fluttered.

The New Year's Eve is approaching, but this New Year's Eve does not seem to be as smooth as previous years for the people of Yanzhou City.

A plague broke out in the city, and various strange things happened one after another.

Strange things happen every year, especially today.

In order to avoid the plague, more and more people believe in the Empress Temple.

There is an endless stream of incense.

At this moment, in Li Ping'an's yard.

Li Ping'an and Lao Niu poked their heads out and saw outside the yard, on the roof, on the branches, on the water tank...

The place was filled with cats of different sizes and colors.

The Cat Fairy stood in front of the yard and scanned them.

Each cat has a serious expression, like a soldier about to go to the battlefield.

Fairy Maomao is undoubtedly the commander-in-chief of this army.

Fairy Maomao cleared her throat, her little face looking very serious.

"Tonight we will attack the Empress Temple and completely eradicate the rat infestation in Yanzhou City..."

Mao'er was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say next.

"Long live Meow Meow!!"

"Meow meow!"

The cats meowed in unison in the yard.

Li Pingan and Lao Niu watched this scene curiously.

Fairy Maomao turned around and walked to Li Pingan.

"The fairy has already given instructions."

"Thank you, Fairy." Li Ping'an said to the many cats again, "Thank you for your help."

"Meow~"

A black cat spoke.

"This is our business. These rats have become more and more rampant in recent days."

"That's right, even our cats dare to attack us. Several brothers and sisters have already died at the hands of these rats."

"These rats even ate my master's young son. It would be unkind to not avenge this!"

"..."

For a moment, the cats were filled with indignation.

The Cat Fairy waved her paw to signal them to be quiet.

"The attack is scheduled for tonight."

"Meow!!"

The specific battle plan is for Li Pingan and Lao Niu to capture the empress with unfathomable magic power.

The Cat Fairy led the cats to eliminate a large number of rat demons lurking in the Empress Temple.

After all, these rat demons hide deep and run fast, blending in with the crowd.

With the number of rats in Yanzhou, there will probably be a rat infestation soon.

Even Li Ping'an and Lao Niu didn't have any good way to deal with it.

Fortunately, there is the Cat Fairy and her friends.

Li Ping'an raised his head and glanced at the sky.

When it was almost time, he and Lao Niu went to visit the so-called Empress Temple.

........

Tonight is a gathering day for believers in Niangniang Temple.

These days, there have been constant rumors of demons and ghosts in Yanzhou.

Therefore, Yanzhou at night is not as lively as usual.

This scene today makes people very nostalgic.

Li Ping'an found out the way to the Empress Temple, and Lao Niu each held a large steamed pancake in his hand.

As he gnawed and walked, a large number of believers gathered around him before he knew it.

Further ahead, it feels like it's hard to move even an inch.

After finally squeezing in, I could see the empress.

Then someone blocked the way and said, "The empress has boundless power and will protect you."

Li Pingan smiled and nodded.

The man had no intention of getting out of the way. Two believers behind him were holding a box containing money.

Obviously you have to pay money to pass.

"But I don't have any money."

Li Ping'an pointed to the steamed cakes in his hand. The money given by the fairy was only enough to buy two steamed cakes.

“If you don’t have money, go to the back!!”

As soon as he heard that he had no money, the smile on the believer's face immediately disappeared.

Li Ping'an asked: "If I don't have money, can't I get the protection of the empress?"

"There's so much nonsense, I don't have the money to go back."

Everyone around looked at him.

At this time, an older believer came over.

"Brother, there is no need to be angry, it's just that there are too many people who believe in the Queen.

There will always be people who can't see the empress, so they can only do this.

If Xiongtai had not donated the letter money to the empress, he would have easily met the empress.

So what will those who paid the letter think?I hope you will understand me.

So I drank a cup of tea at the tea stall over there and waited patiently. "

Li Ping'an's expression remained unchanged, but he was a good talker.

He was no longer embarrassed and walked to the tea stall nearby.

Seeing this, the waiter at the tea stall quickly poured Li Ping'an a cup of tea.

"Brother, don't be depressed. The tea here is free. Please enjoy it."

"Thank you."

Li Ping'an picked up the tea, which was just ordinary herbal tea.

But I don’t know if it’s because of the addition of some kind of seasoning, which gives it a different taste.

"Is there anyone in my family who is sick?" the man asked curiously.

"No."

"Why did you come to the Empress Temple if you didn't have a reason?"

"I heard that the Empress Temple is very effective."

"It's effective, but..."

The waiter lowered his voice, "That's only for rich people, but it doesn't work for people like us."

Li Pingan smiled warmly.

"Brother, I advise you to finish your tea and leave."

"Is it because I have no money?"

"That's not true. I just heard people say that the Empress Temple is evil."

The guy's voice dropped lower.

In front of the empress's shrine, cigarette smoke is misty.

The believers all knelt down and worshiped.

"Young lady!!"

"Look at your Majesty!"

"......"

At this moment, a loud noise sounded.

The statue of the god that had been molded into a golden body began to show huge fluctuations.

There were cracks all over its body.

"The statue of the empress is cracked!?"

Immediately afterwards, a piercing scream sounded.

"what!!"

The statues shattered and the screams became more intense.

Everyone present was so frightened that they froze in place.

A shadow flashed behind the statue.

Then the shadow seemed to be unable to hide its figure, and appeared so naked in front of everyone.

"Then...what is that!?"

"mouse!?"

It was a huge rat nearly two feet tall, sitting there paralyzed like a hill.

Blood, internal organs, and incompletely digested human bones spurted out of the mouth.

The stench was tangy.

A sharp scream sounded, and the crowd began to flee in all directions.

The waiter at the tea stall also looked up, his pupils and mouth dilated at the same time.

"....Monster!"

Li Pingan drank tea calmly.

The customers at the tea stall ran away with the crowd.

Lao Niu twisted his buttocks and came forward, pouring himself a cup of tea.

"I don't know which immortal master took action, but I hope you can spare the little demon's life!"

The voice of the Mouse Lady begging for mercy sounded.
