Urban Tales of Demons and Spirits

Shi Yitong pulled me to the room to the north. Sure enough, as Grandma Shi Yitong said, the room was full of strange things and stuffed the room. ? Bayi Chinese website W㈠W㈧W ?. ㈧8? 1㈠Ｚ? W ?. CQOM I looked around in amazement. The sight was full of things I did n’t understand, like bronze bells, runes, compasses, and some large and small boxes. They all looked very old, I do n’t know What's inside.

Shi Yitong carefully drilled through the cracks of these things, still thinking in his mouth, "Jinhua cat, Jinhua cat ..."

However, it is not easy to find information about Jinhua Cat from so many things. The old books and papers I saw were as high as mountains.

I shook my head and squatted down to help Shi Yitong look for it. However, I was very interested in each of these relics of Grandpa Shi Yitong, saying that I was looking for information about Jinhua Cats, but I always unknowingly read through unrelated books.

Shi Yitong's grandfather is indeed a very mysterious person. In addition to recording the funeral traditional culture in his books, there are many magic spells and folk remedies for removing demons.

I picked up a book with monster drawings on the cover and turned it over. This booklet is written with "Hundred Ghosts Painting Scroll", and there are few words in it, most of them are pictures depicting various monsters. I held a hint of hope and flipped inside the picture, but I didn't see a big black-haired monster similar to the one we encountered in Yanjin Mountain.

"My grandfather was a soldier when he was young." Shi Yitong probably opened up the box after seeing that I was interested. "During the Second World War, he killed a lot of devils with the Kuomintang. It is said that the soldiers who were with him were either dead or injured But my grandpa returned home intact. It is said that he had received a lot of books and spells about monsters from the Japanese, but whenever I asked my grandma, he kept silent. It is said that the secret cannot be leaked. But let me say that maybe Grandpa saved his life by the strange spells taken from the Japanese. "

"Really?" I responded to Ying Yitong casually, and at this moment, a piece of paper fell out of the booklet in my hand.

I bent down, picked up the paper, and unfolded it, it was a monster painting.

The painting was drawn with a brush. It was not colored, but it was quite vivid. The painting is a huge fox, occupying almost the entire paper. The fox's expression was stingy, his eyes were full of hatred, and his teeth were fiercely fierce. Moreover, this fierce fox has nine tails behind him, and Zhangya dance claws account for most of the picture. There is a name next to the picture, with the three characters "Nine-tailed Fox" written on it.

Nine-tailed fox ... is this a nine-tailed fox? I looked at this picture, I don't know why I was so attracted to it.

I have never seen it before, but I have a sense of familiarity in my heart.

"Gu Yu! I found it!"

Just then, Shi Yitong suddenly shouted excitedly. I was taken aback, and subconsciously folded the painting into my pocket.

"What did you find and find?" I pretended to be calm.

"What else can it be, of course, the Jinhua cat you are looking for." Shi Yitong raised a thick book in Yang's hand, and as a result all the dust in the room was lifted to Yang Fei.

"Ahhhhhh ... I know! Slow down, okay!"

Shi Yitong jumped and drilled on one foot, and I helped close the big box he opened.

"I said Grandpa must have records about Jinhua cats. He likes to collect some strange books and records." Shi Yitong put the books in front of me with a slam, and immediately in my nasal cavity Into the smell of dust.

"Here, here. Jinhua cat, yes." Shi Yitong flipped open the heavy book and turned to a certain page.

I don't know which book it was, or a bound one, the characters are traditional, and the reading order is from right to left. I stepped forward and laboriously identified the typeface on it.

"Look, here is the habit of introducing Jinhua cats." Shi Yitong reads, "'Cater, Jinhua also. Can take the essence of the sun and the moon, and turn into a person, and be fooled by men. Men become women, women become men. "This means that the Jinhua cat is absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and then becoming a human figure to deceive others ..."

"There is no need to explain this, I know it," I urged. "Look behind, look behind!"

"Oh." Shi Yitong nodded and turned back, "'Eating sweet dew, the beauty of the moonlight. Where there are two, you can find monsters.' This is to say ... Jinhua cat likes to have sweet dew and Where moonlight is, where there are these two things, Jinhua cats can be found. "

"Manna and moonlight?" I was a little puzzled. "It's okay to say moonlight, but what is manna?"

"Manna is dew," Shi Yitong said simply.

"But it's too much if it's just dew." I said frustrated. "How can we find it?"

"Wait, isn't it?" Shi Yitong's eyes turned, and he seemed to think of something suddenly, "If you want to say, 'dew' is the dew, 'Manna' should be sweet dew, right?"

I said funnyly, "How is that possible, how can there be sweet dew in this world?"

"No, Gu Yu, I really think of a place like this!" Shi Yitong interrupted me, thinking hard, "I originally heard the older generation in the village said that there was a small town in Yancheng In the woods, I do n’t know why there are so many wild sugarcane. It may be that there were farmers who planted sugarcane there before, and it was left. And the trees and leaves there are sparse and you can definitely see the moon. Would you say there what?"

I was still skeptical and asked, "Isn't sugar cane the sweet dew?"

Shi Yitong looked at me with tears and smiles. "Ah, are you stupid. Who has sugar cane? Who will drink dew?"

When I patted my head, my heart was right, why was I so stupid?

"Where is the sugarcane forest you said?" I asked.

"It's not far from here, it's only twenty minutes away." Shi Yitong said, seemingly proud of him because he finally got the answer right, "How about, I'm still smart?"

"Yes," I said helplessly.

"What are you waiting for, let's hurry." Shi Yitong seemed more excited than me.

"Where to go, have you forgotten that I have lessons this afternoon?" I interrupted Shi Yitong with amusement.

"Ah? Really?" Shi Yitong scratched his head. "It's a pity. But it's okay. Let's go tomorrow morning!"
