Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 12 Escape from the Sewer

But it was just such a moment, and the next moment I felt relieved.After a few steps, he rushed to the front of the old cat, lifted his foot and kicked it under the jaw.I don't know if it's my strength or the old cat's old body, weak bones and brittle bones.At this moment, it obviously heard a click, and kicked its head off.

The old cat crashed to the ground, and the simplicity made me a little uncomfortable.But thinking about it, this old cat should have lived for a long time to lead a group of cats and grandchildren, which is the same thing in itself.Looking at the dead old cat's body, I couldn't express my boredom, so I kicked it into the ditch on the side.After finishing, he turned around and wanted to take Chen Lingxue away, but he didn't expect to see Chen Lingxue when he turned around.

Surprised when she turned around, Chen Lingxue was caught by the old headless cat, and was dragging desperately into the ditch in the middle.It has been dragged to the middle of the canal, and it is about to be submerged in the water.I thought in my heart that the old cat really has become a genius?His head was kicked off, but he was able to pull people into the water.

"Zhao Jue! Help! Help me!" Chen Lingxue only showed half of her head, yelling desperately in the water.I was about to rush over to save someone, but suddenly I froze!Seeing that I was indifferent, Chen Lingxue became even more anxious, and desperately put her head out and shouted, "Help me, Zhao Jue! I can't swim!"

I stood with my hands behind my back, looked at the situation in the water with cold eyes and said with a smile, "Old cat, you are really cunning, you almost caught your knife." After I finished speaking, I closed my eyes and silently recited the word "zhen" in the nine-character mantra in my heart .I just felt that Tianling Gai poured a basin of cold water, and everything in front of me suddenly became clear.In the meantime, Chen Lingxue stood there indifferently, her eyes glazed over, while the old cat was still lying there with its eyes beating like will-o'-the-wisps.It turned out that I had just fallen for the old cat's Yuanguang trick.Seeing that Chen Lingxue's eyes were glazed over, it was obvious that she had also been tricked.Thanks to my timely discovery, otherwise I might be the one who really drowned in the water.

How did I see that I was just blindfolded?It's very simple. At that time, Chen Lingxue directly called out my name, Zhao Jue.Not just her, even Boss Chen only knows my surname is Zhao.I didn't tell either of them my real name, and that was the biggest flaw.The old cat should also know that his tricks were exhausted, and began to back away slowly, then turned around and wanted to run.Where could I let it go, I was about to catch up, but Chen Lingxue hugged me suddenly from behind.I lost my center of gravity and fell to the ground with a somersault.

Looking up again, the old cat had run away and disappeared.I was so angry in my heart, I still let it run away.The terrain here is complicated, and it is not so easy to chase after it.For the time being, I can only let it go first, turn around and run the exercises, put one hand on Chen Lingxue Tianling's cover, and shout loudly.Immediately her eyes came back to life.

I saw that she had come to her senses, and hurriedly led her to the place where the sun was shining.Fortunately, there are ladders for the sewer wells here. I climbed on them and pushed the manhole cover, and it was obviously loose.As soon as I saw there was a door, I hurried over, stepping on the ladder and pushing the manhole cover away with all my strength.He poked his head out and took a deep breath.The sun outside was a bit harsh, but it came out no matter what.I looked around, but fortunately it was not on the main road.Otherwise, it would be a tragedy to die in a car accident instead of dying in the sewer.This place seems to be a community, and I can't control so much. After climbing up, I turned around and prepared to pull Chen Lingxue up.

Who knew that just as I grabbed his arm, I felt a sudden sinking, almost pulling me down too.I heard Chen Lingxue shouting from below, "Ah! Someone is grabbing my feet!"

I thought it was the old cat coming back.Xin said that as soon as he pulled it up with all his strength, I would settle accounts with it.Although the old cat has grown up, he is confident that he can definitely pull it up.But the strength in my hand was obviously wrong, I looked down and found that the person holding Chen Lingxue was actually a person!Could it be that those people just caught up?But when I looked down, I found that the man's eyes were also dull, so I knew he had also been deceived by the old cat.

But thinking about it, since this person has been deceived, the old cat is also nearby.Thinking of this, my heart skipped a beat, I turned around and jumped down again.Sure enough, I saw the old cat lying on the side, staring at the eyes like will-o'-the-wisps.I cursed inwardly as a beast, I will kill you even if I say anything today!With a sudden jump, he jumped directly from above.The old cat seemed to be concentrating on releasing the blindfold, and it didn't even dodge.I stepped directly on its neck all of a sudden.

There was a cracking sound, and the bone was broken, and it was 100% dead all of a sudden.And the person who was holding Chen Lingxue below also limp and fell down.I didn't know who he was, so I simply didn't wake him up.Just climbed up quickly with Chen Lingxue.Then slammed the manhole cover back on.Only then did they let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh my god! I never knew the air outside was so fresh!" Chen Lingxue was in good condition after coming out, took a deep breath and let it out long.It's as if you want to cleanse all the turbidity in your body.I looked at her and thought it was very funny.But when I think of the first time I came out of the ancient tomb, I looked similar to her.What's more, she is still a girl, and she is considered a hero among women if she is not scared crazy.

Chen Lingxue saw my smile, rolled her eyes at me and said, "What are you laughing at, I've never seen a beautiful woman before!"

"I've never seen such a dirty beauty." I smiled and pointed to her face.The two of us have been crawling in the sewer for so long, our bodies are already dirty and messy.But I don't care about this kind of thing, and Chen Lingxue seems to have spent the rest of her life without noticing it.We rested there for a while and I asked her, "Do you know where this is? See if you can go back?"

Chen Lingxue looked around and said, "This seems to be S University. It's not too far away from my house. Let's go back to my house and clean it first." I nodded and followed Chen Lingxue out of here. S University is open, and some people often come in to visit it.There was nothing special about the two of us except being a little dirty.I went out and took a taxi and came to Boss Chen's house quickly.

Sure enough, as I expected, this old guy really didn't dare to go down.Seeing that we haven't come out for several hours, we are running around in a hurry.Suddenly seeing Chen Lingxue and me coming back from the outside, I was also taken aback.Chen Lingxue glared at him angrily, and went upstairs to take a shower.I used to go to the ground often and didn't feel uncomfortable with being dirty, so I told Boss Chen about the situation here first.I didn't bother to tell him about our situation in the sewer, just told him that his home was a treasure trove in the basement.However, after raising some filthy things, they will become fine every day.I have now been expelled.

After Boss Chen heard this, his old face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile. He thanked him again and again, and casually took out an envelope from his bag and handed it over.I held it in my hand and weighed it. If it was all Grandpa Mao, it would be at least more than [-].It seems to be enough for me to eat for more than half a year.But I didn't take it directly, but said, "Although this time I helped you get rid of ghosts, but your place is a bit special. That treasure cave is a place to nourish souls. It has a fatal attraction for lonely ghosts. I can't guarantee that there will be new ghosts in a few years."

When Boss Chen heard this, his bright chrysanthemum face immediately withered, and he hurriedly said, "Oh, Master Zhao, you are a good man who will do his best to send the Buddha to the west. Be sure to get rid of this trouble for me! Don't worry, as long as you get rid of it forever For future troubles, I absolutely cannot do without you for merit money."

I didn't know how to answer for a while. It stands to reason that although this kind of place can raise souls, it can't raise ghosts.Coupled with Master Yan's statement that the mirror cannot be destroyed, I was also a little confused.It suddenly occurred to me that I found a wooden plank underneath, which was definitely the key to all the problems.Thinking of this, I hastily brought the plank closer to me and looked at it carefully.I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I can't help but gasp when I see it.
