Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 33 Scholars are easy to bully?

"Qiuxiang, go and call Yingning to the study."

Back in the mansion, Zhou Yu gave Qiu Xiang instructions.

"Yes, sir."

Qiu Xiang responded and left.

After a while, Ying Ning hurried into the study.

"Yingning, come and see what this is..."

Zhou Yu took out a few slightly curly black hairs and put them on the table.

Ying Ning leaned in front of the lamp and took a closer look, and couldn't help but look surprised: "This... this is a bit like the hair on the body of a cat demon."

Zhou Yu nodded with relief, "That's right!"

These few hairs were found on the body of the deceased.

Through the scratches, bite marks, and these few hairs on the body of the deceased, Zhou Yu also inadvertently remembered the matter of Ji's being so frightened that he lost his soul.

At that time, Ji said that she met a strange black cat, which was very big, with blood red eyes and long fangs.

So Zhou Yu deduced that the watchman and the two yamen servants were probably killed by cat demons.

Now Ying Ning also thinks that the hair is from the demon cat, and the bizarre murder in the city is basically confirmed, it is the demon cat.

However, knowing it is one thing, and catching it is another.

How can the people believe it just by word of mouth?
Next, Zhou Yu whispered something to Ying Ning, asking her to wander around the city for a few nights to see if she could find any traces of the cat demon.

That night.

Unexpectedly, Na Maren, his mentor and his apprentice, came to the door quietly.

The old guy was not convinced, refused to admit defeat, and vowed to win the game to save face.

"Apprentice, as a teacher, I'm sure there must be a demon here. Just catch her and force her to show her original shape. Then we'll see how that Zhou will step down."

"Yes, yes, at that time, send him to the government and sue him for raising a monster and causing trouble for the neighbors..."

The master and apprentice were quietly admitted to the hospital and began to search for the evil spirit.

This time I didn't use the copper bell. After all, it was late at night, and the sound of the copper bell would inevitably startle the snake.

Searched a lot but found nothing.

Xiao Shunzi asked with a puzzled face, "Could it be that the surname Zhou sent that demon girl away?"

"Hmph, what a cunning old fox... he thinks he can't do anything with him because he thinks he's doing this as a teacher?"

"What does Master mean?"

"Master, I will cast a spell to seal his five senses tonight, making him unable to see, hear, or speak..."

Hearing this, Xiao Shunzi couldn't help being taken aback: "Master, will this be... a little too cruel?"

Master Ma said with a ferocious face: "If you are not ruthless, it is hard to explain the hatred in the teacher's heart!"

"Hehe, Yaodao, you finally revealed your true colors..."

At this time, there was a sneer in the courtyard.

Hearing this voice, Ma Zhenren was ashamed and angry, and shouted: "Wow, you really have prepared..."

"To deal with evil spirits like you, of course you have to be careful, otherwise you won't be plotted by the villain?"

Immortal Ma smiled disdainfully: "So what if you are careful? Take the palm of Immortal Ben first!"

Before he finished speaking, he followed the sound and slapped him.

"Bang~"

A figure flew upside down.

"Master..."

Xiao Shunzi was taken aback and hurried to Master.

"Impossible, impossible...Aren't you a scholar..."

Ma Zhenren struggled to stand up, not caring about wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and yelled like crazy.

"What's wrong with scholars? Are scholars sure to be easy to bully?"

"Hahaha, well, since that's the case, then don't blame me for being serious."

Ma Zhenren reached out his hand, took out two pieces of paper and threw them away, then made a formula and recited a mantra: "The magic soldier is in a hurry, as fast as a law!"

As soon as the mantra was chanted, the two small paper figures suddenly transformed into life-size figures, one on the left and the other on the right each holding a sword and rushing towards Zhou Yu.

"Old guy, as the saying goes, those who have attained the Dao will be helped more than those who have lost the Dao. There is no cure for you... Break the law!"

With a thought, Zhou Yu summoned the Qinglian Sword, and the sound of the sword was melodious, emitting a hidden brilliance.

Immediately after the figure moved, there was a burst of dense and short-lived "cracking" sounds in the courtyard.

But after a few breaths, the two paper figures disappeared without a trace.

"It's not good, master, he...he broke your paper mantra..."

"what?"

Immortal Ma couldn't help being taken aback, gritted his teeth, and took out another talisman to recite the spell.

It's a pity that Zhou Yu didn't give the opponent a chance to fight back.

"Om~"

A long sword cry echoed in the night sky, like a dragon chant.

Zhou Yu's body is like lightning, his sword is like a rainbow...

"Pfft~"

Ma Zhenren didn't have time to dodge at all, and spurted out a big mouthful of blood on the spot.

The abdomen is also bleeding.

Zhou Yu's sword pierced Daoist Ma's sea of ​​qi acupoint on the spot.

"Master..."

Seeing the master fell headlong to the ground, Xiao Shunzi rushed forward.

"I can't die... but the Qihai acupoint has been broken, and even if I don't die..."

For a cultivator, once the Qihai acupoint is abolished, it means that the whole body's cultivation is also abolished, which is not much different from death.

If it is well taken care of, it may still last for a few years, but if it is not well taken care of... it may hiccup at any time.

……

When it was almost five o'clock, Ying Ning came back.

That night, she did not find any trace of the cat demon.

The second night, still nothing.

Until the third night, at midnight...

"Bang... bang bang..."

"Ping...peace...nothing..."

The voice of the beating man was visibly trembling, and the hand that knocked on the clapper was also trembling.

The previous watchman had suffered an accident, and this is the new one.

Fortunately, this time he was not alone, and there were three government servants with knives behind him, emboldening each other.

"Bang... bang bang..."

Walked forward for a while, and knocked again.

Suddenly, a black shadow jumped down from the roof of the street...

It was a big black cat, about the size of an adult dog, bared its teeth like a little black panther, and its eyes radiated a terrifying blood.

"The monster is coming..."

The watchman finally saw the demon cat clearly, threw his clapper in fright, turned around and ran away.

The three yamen servants also turned around and fled in fright.

Unexpectedly, a cat demon of about the same size also appeared behind them...

Now that they couldn't escape, the two demon cats blocked the group of four people in the street.

"Fight with them!"

At the juncture of life and death, the instinct of survival made the three yamen servants finally pluck up the courage. The three of them stood close to each other, brandishing their knives continuously to strengthen their courage.

The watchman was so frightened that he passed out.

Two cat demons walked up slowly...

Seeing that it was about to pounce, suddenly, one of the cat demons jumped up as if its tail had been stepped on, and at the same time gave a strange cry.

Immediately afterwards, another cat demon followed suit with a strange howl.

Then, for some reason, the two demon cats gave up their attack and jumped onto the roof without knowing where they were going.

The three yamen servants escaped unharmed, how dare they patrol the streets?Regardless of the watchman, he ran desperately towards the Yamen...

At daybreak, the county government posted a notice, saying that the previous bizarre murder was the work of a cat demon, and warned the people not to go out when it was dark, and the government would definitely find a way to eliminate the demon as soon as possible.

After breakfast, Zhou Yu came to the county government office again, saying that there was a way to catch the cat demon.

Chang Fugui was overjoyed, and according to Zhou Yu's order, he dispatched a group of servants from the county government to assist, and at the same time called many common people to go to the western suburbs of the city...
