Urban Tales of Demons and Spirits

Speaking, Su Xiaoyi turned his head and glanced at Wen Jiubai. "I still remember that the hermit, whose last name is Wen, is a beautiful man in a black robe. Bayi Chinese Network ?? W≥W≈W≤. = 81ＺW.COM "

I looked at Wen Jiubai in surprise. The man didn't say a word from beginning to end, but just sat there silently, posing as an onlooker.

"Wen Jiubai? With that said, did you already know Su Xiaoyu?"

"I haven't said that we don't know each other." Wen Jiubai put his hands in his sleeves and said indifferently. "That was four years ago. At that time, I had not received guests as openly as I do now, but Live a life in the mountains of Hermitage. Your friend's father knocked on my door for three days and three nights, and asked me to touch the curse of his daughter. "

"So, has the curse been lifted?" I looked at Wen Jiubai and looked at Su Xiaoyu again.

"Since it's called a curse, it's not something that can be lifted so easily. It's not ordinary evil spirits that their father and daughter provoke." Wen Jiubai glanced at Su Xiaoyi and looked back again. ? "

I shook my head blankly.

"Oh, I really did find a 'learned' assistant." Wen Jiubai narrowed his eyes and teased.

"Shut up!" I was angry and annoyed, when was it? This Wen Jiubai was still joking!

"Listen, 'parasitic souls' are a kind of soul. They used to be human and turned into ghosts after death, but because of the deep sins in life, they cannot be reincarnated, so they can only linger in the gap between this bank and the other bank. Neither can he go to the Pure Land of Pure Bliss, it is difficult to return to the world. "Wen Jiubai said slowly," They use grudge as food, the greater the grudge, the greater their power. The parasitic soul who cursed Su Xiaoyu must be in the cracks. Wandering for a long time, she has the power to be underestimated. But the most important thing is that her father made a promise to the parasitic soul, 'Let me do anything', so the curse will be unbreakable. "

"Unbreakable?" I asked incredulously.

"Yes." Wen Jiubai nodded gently. "Unlike humans who like to lie, monsters can't lie. Similarly, the promises made are absolutely unbreakable. If you promise something to a monster, you must be To make it happen, because the moment you make a promise, a contract is created, and there is an unbreakable 'curse' between man and demon. For a simple example, when walking at night in the mountains, if someone is behind Call your name, never agree. That's because if you call your name a monster, if you agree, it's equivalent to a contract that allows the weak monster to have a chance. "

Wen Jiubai thought for a while and said, "But this is also often used by humans instead. The same is true when the Japanese yin and yang masters receive the gods. The monsters make promises to human beings. Human beings use the contract produced by this promise to collect the monsters. all."

I still heard the fog in the clouds, and nodded half-understanding, "Yes, isn't it ... can't the curse on Su Xiaoyu's body be lifted?"

"That's not the case." Wen Jiubai denied. "The establishment of the contract requires the unification of both parties, that is, if one party is not in the world, the contract naturally disappears. That is, either the parasitic soul is destroyed, or until her The curse was lifted when my father died. "

"But, but, if that's the time, I'm afraid Su Xiaoying would have been eaten by the monster!" I blurted out.

"That's what I said, so when her father came to ask me, I chose a compromise to alleviate the impact of the curse." Wen Jiubai looked at Su Xiaoyi and said, "A bowl of white rice, a The chicken blood of the live rooster, plus my canopy magic spell, can make the yang on her disappear, so that the evil spirit will not find her for a while. Of course, there are certain defects in doing this, that is After the yang becomes weak, the body will be weak. At this stage, the body may be invaded by other monsters. Then the remedy is to bring a black cat with spirituality around you to weaken the curse effect. Although not It may disappear completely, but it should be enough to be unnoticed by the people around. "

Black cat? I was taken aback, my mouth couldn't be closed, "Then the cat named Grunt is you ..."

Wen Jiubai glanced at me and looked at me with an eye that looked like he was retarded. "Don't you think about it, why can the cat always find the old house?"

I was speechless for a while. Yes, I realized that when Wen Jiubai said this, the cat named Gum took me to the old house twice. The timing was always right. How could I never doubt the relationship between the cat and Wen Jiubai?

"But ... the black cat, isn't it an ominous representative?" I asked, puzzled, "the old man in the family always said that seeing the black cat would be unlucky."

"No, this is your modern day misunderstanding of black cats." Wen Jiubai smiled slightly. "Black and red cats are black. Black cats have been psychic and evil spirits since ancient times. There are in ancient books. Record: 'Xuan cat, a thing that ward off evil. Easy to place in the south. All children and grandchildren are easy to avoid.' It means that if a black cat is raised, it will be raised in the south porch. Then all generations of this cat will Bless this family. Because black cats can drive away evil spirits, black cats are always wandering in disaster-prone places. This is how modern people misunderstand mysterious cats. However, in traditional Chinese culture, black cats imply auspicious meaning. At that time People think that black cats have the ability to make demons and monsters dare not approach, and can bring auspiciousness to the host. Therefore, many wealthy people in ancient times had the habit of raising black cats or putting black cat accessories. Even cats made of gold The statue must also be painted black on the outside. "

I nodded my head clearly and murmured, "This is the case, Guru is used to protect Su Xiaoyu's cursed constitution, no wonder she always holds that cat."

"If I don't bring Guru to my side, people around me will suffer an unfortunate curse." Su Xiaoming murmured, "Last school trip, because the school does not allow pets, I can only carry Guru At home, but you know what happened that time. "

I froze for a moment. Indeed, the four of us encountered an unprecedented crisis, but I never thought that it was because of Su Xiaoyu.

"Also, when you just came out of the grove, you took my hand and almost fell into the pit. If it wasn't for me at the time, you might have been covered with mud." Su Xiaozheng was very Telling these facts calmly.
