Pet King

at dusk.

Marina city.

A taxi stopped slowly.

"Father, use me to help you? Don't flash back." The taxi master asked enthusiastically.

"Oh, it's okay, I'm not sinking, I can still move, thank you." An old man with a thin and handsome face waved and smiled, and got out of the car with a small suitcase.

In terms of appearance, the old man is at least 80 years old, with a pair of gray beards on his chin. Although the pedestrians around him have changed into singles and thin shirts, he is wearing an old cotton robe like chills, watching It seems that I just came out of the theater. However, in stark contrast to his age and this old costume, he still pays for the taxi fare with his mobile phone scan code, which surprised the driver, because many middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s still only use cash payment.

The driver would be even more surprised if he knew that there was another cat he could not see sitting all the way in the back seat, and got out of the car with the old man.

The taxi drove away, and the old man drew his cotton robes and looked around a bit. Seeing that everything around him didn't seem to change significantly before he left.

Meow.

The cat whispered.

The old man bowed his head and asked with concern: "What happened?"

It's a Persian cat, black top, black back, black tail, and other snow white, but if measured by the standards of modern Persian cats, this cat will no doubt be evaluated as disqualified. After all, it Not a modern cat, the most popular cat of the high society in the Song Dynasty was a cat from Persia.

It ran to the old man's feet with his short legs, as if he was going to take refuge in a cotton robe. He opened his eyes and stared at the street in the twilight. The shaking of his body caused the old man's cotton robe to shake slightly, Extremely scared.

The cat's unusual behavior caused the old man to frown deeply, and he looked suspiciously into the half-dark street, but found nothing abnormal.

Off-duty office workers drag their exhausted bodies to go home. The children after school ride their bikes like a wind, and small business vendors and hawkers who only set up stalls at night to avoid city management start to set up their own stalls and start business. No different in the past.

He looked up at the two-story antique building in front of him. The front of the shop was a lacquered gate with brass nails on the front, and a pair of fine lacquered pillars with buckets on both sides. A blue gilt plaque on the bottom hung above it. Wu Xishi ”these characters.

The door of Zhu Qi was closed and the lock was locked.

There is a layer of ash on the door knocker.

This is his return to Binhai City after a few months since he left last fall.

What's interesting about Binhai in months?

He is very old and his body is not cold-resistant. He always chooses to lock the store door when winter comes, and goes to the southern villa Cat Winter further away. He will come back when the spring flowers bloom the next year. He does n’t point to this room anyway. Shops make money.

Binhai City is a senior care city of his own choosing. It is not as hustle and bustle as big cities, and it is not as inconvenient as small cities. In addition to being a bit cold in winter, the climate is quite pleasant. There are more than one city with the same conditions. He caught a puppet among several candidate cities and just picked Binhai City. Since then, he has settled here half a year.

This is not the first time his cat has shown abnormality. The last time it showed an abnormality, someone sent him a bronze imitation cat statue. At that time, when he saw the cat **** statue, he looked very scared and always hid away. , Dare not approach.

The old man likes cats and cat-related things very much. After receiving the statue of the cat god, he was very happy, because he had touched many antiquities, and he could see that this statue of the cat **** was not just a simple imitation.

However, his cat's fear of the cat-god statue made him wary.

He has come into contact with many antiquities and has collected many antiquities. The antiquities in this shop are just a drop in the ocean. No one can really enjoy the valuable antiquities outside.

Maybe it was because the ancients had poured too much affection, maybe it was the reason that after too many years, some rare antiquities occasionally showed abnormalities that were difficult to explain with common sense, in other words, "psychic".

Channeling is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes you can feel a magical tacit understanding from the channel's antiquities. The soul seems to cross the space and time with the original owner of the antiquities at that moment.

However, among these very few psychic antiquities, the original owners of very few antiquities are not good, and they seem to be evil spirits.

Whenever this happens, his cat always behaves abnormally, and warns him in time to stay away from the antiquities that are trapped by evil spirits.

Other psychic antiquities have some peculiar phenomena, such as abnormal noises, abnormal movements, and strange light and shadow changes. However, at first he did not notice similar signs of the cat **** statue, but only a very exquisite work of art, which he thought was his own The cat's nerves were a little allergic, so he temporarily left the statue at the entrance of the store and kept his cat away.

He used to feed nearby stray cats, but since the cat **** statue came to the store, those stray cats were afraid to approach, which made him reconsider the problem. Perhaps the cat **** statue and the psychic things he encountered before They are all very different and cannot be judged by past experience.

However, what to do with this cat statue?

His heart was very contradictory.

On the one hand, Kong Sheng said: If you can't deal with people, you can't deal with ghosts. Unknown life, I know death. When dealing with ghosts and gods, the teaching of the saints is ignored, because there are many more important things to explore in the heavens and the earth. How can there be time to pursue the ghostly gods?

On the other hand, Zhu Zi also said that scholars must know how husbands can be high, how earth can be thick, how ghosts and gods can be faint, and how mountains can be fused. This is a grid. The knowledge of the things advocated by Zhu Zi also requires scholars to be curious about everything in the world and to give scientific and reasonable explanations to ghosts and gods in the form of philosophical speculation.

The two sages had a subtle disagreement on this part, let alone him. Even Zhu Zi, who inherited and inherited the history of Confucianism, was plagued by this problem for life.

He inquired a lot of information, but there was too little credible information about ancient Egypt. It is only scarcely circulated to this day. He never understood why the statue of the cat **** representing the good **** in ancient Egypt was stained with radon.

Zhu Zi said that if he is a demon evil, most of them must not be killed, and his qi is not dispersed, so he becomes a demon evil. According to this statement, the statue of the cat **** did not have the prerequisites to become a monster.

The person who stretches the Qi is the **** of the past; the one who bends the Qi is the ghost of the comer. The so-called ghosts and gods are originally the ebb and flow of yin and yang. The same is true of the human body, so people's hearts can communicate with ghosts and gods.

I can only think of it because the statue of the cat **** has been buried in the ground for a long time, and has been soaked with too much Yin.

The statue of the cat **** is very precious. If it is destroyed, the statue is not abnormal. It is better to leave it to someone who can control it.

What's more, Zhu Zi also said: The spirit of the gods often bends and stretches, and the spirit of the people and ghosts dissipates without a trace. Its dispersal also has a long-term difference. There are people who don't subdue their deceased, so if they die, they will not lose their breath.

The cat **** statue was stained with a lot of yin when it was buried underground, but the yin will eventually dissipate, only for a long time. So he often pushed the cat **** statue to the sun at noon, in order to disperse his anger quickly.

Everything in the world is formed by yin and yang, and humans and ghosts are the same. Apart from dissipating yin with the sun's yang, human yang can also have the same effect. He thinks that if the cat **** statue is placed in a shop with a lot of people, it may be possible to further accelerate the dissipation of its yin. But his shop is definitely not working. This second-hand antiquities shop is high and widowed.

When he met the lively and cheerful female anchor, she heard from her mouth that she wanted to give the statue of the cat **** as a gift for the opening of the store, and that the business of the other party was booming. Sold her the cat **** statue at a very low price, and specifically told her some taboos.

Neither the female anchor nor her presenter ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ seems to pay little attention to ghosts and gods, especially her presenter, even if the air is blowing, it is only used as an air conditioner. ...

But this is also good. "Unbelief" is the best way to avoid evil, but the old man can no longer do "unbelief". After all, even ancient sages "believe", how dare he run counter to ancient sages?

The sky was getting darker and darker, his cat still stared at the darkness in the distance, meowing nonchalantly, and constantly pulling his cotton robes with his paws, alerting him to leave the city quickly, his panic degree was greater than the last time When the statue of God appeared a hundred times more.

"The statue of the cat **** has already been given away. What are you afraid of?" He asked warmly.

However, his cat couldn't say clearly, and could only tell him that huge evil had come to the city, and it was better to leave quickly for the sake of safety.

He groaned a little. If evil is around, such as some ancient artifacts of evil spirits, he will surely follow the flow and find a way to send it away, bury it or destroy it. But since the scope of evil is so wide, it seems There is no urgency. No matter how serious the situation is, with his cat, he can always be one step away from evil.

"After a long journey, let's go to rest for a while, at least after tonight, and then decide what to do next." He comforted, then took out the key, opened the lock, and slammed the door open.

The turbid air that had been in circulation for several months was quickly blown away by the influx of night wind.

Everything is exactly the same as when he left, including the half-turned "Zhu Ziwen Ji Du Man Ji" on the desk case, which is densely marked with his comments and reading experience.

At night, the pages of the book were tumbling around and finally stopped on one of them.

Don't you see a cat's mousetrap? Four-legged base, with the head and tail all the way, the eyes are not instantaneous, and the mind is missing. But if it does not move, the mouse will not escape.
