Mantra

Chapter 147

Because Li Douniu went to the Zhao family's ancestral grave more times, there were a lot of gossips.

Some villagers speculated that Li Douniu was haunted by the spirit of Zhao Qingshan, the resentful ghost, so he ran to Zhao's ancestor's grave all day long.Some people also said that he was bewitched by the vixen in the mountains, and some even said that he had been possessed by the goblin to become a puppet and so on.

These words of Mo Chou's righteousness quickly reached the ears of Li Douniu's own father, making it impossible for the village head to continue to ignore his son's nonsense.

Therefore, not long after, Li Douniu's father locked him up and strictly ordered him not to go up the mountain again, let alone step into Zhao's ancestor's grave, otherwise his leg would be broken.

At first, Li Douniu did stop for a while.

After all, after several years, Li Douniu never found that kind of gold coin again, and gradually, he accepted his fate.He thought, maybe this is the so-called God's will, the things he once held in his hands may not necessarily belong to him.

But one day, the appearance of a cat broke Li Douniu's inner balance again.

That day, Li Douniu's father went to the brigade for a meeting, because Li Douniu hadn't committed the old habit of entering the cemetery recently, so he didn't strictly control his behavior, and after a few words, he went out with peace of mind .

At first, Li Douniu had a good time playing alone at home, but soon, his eyes were attracted by a black cat passing by the roof of his house.

The black cat was very ordinary, but Li Douniu suddenly saw that there was a golden "copper coin" in the mouth of that very ordinary cat!
Immediately, Li Douniu was deeply attracted by the old cat with the coin in its mouth. His childhood memories and greed were intertwined and twisted into a huge desire.

That desire formed an unstoppable driving force, pulling Li Douniu to chase the cat and the gold coin of his dreams step by step.

...Finally, he followed the black cat to the Zhao family's ancestral grave.

Li Douniu is so familiar with the Zhao family ancestral grave, he knows how many coffins there are, and he can count the people in the coffins whether they are men or women, so he walked all the way without losing the cat, and luckily he was not caught by that coffin. Brutal discovery.

In the end, he followed the black cat to Zhao Huo's grave, under the desolate tombstone.

Then, he saw the cat put the object in its mouth down, and then howled.

Following that long roar, three fluffy "little meat balls" protruded from the robbery hole on the side of Zhao Huo's tomb.

The three kittens wagged their tails and walked slowly towards their black cat mother, playing with it intimately.

The black cat looked at its children lovingly, and at the same time handed the "gold coins" it brought back to the three kittens...

At this time, Li Douniu was disappointed to find that what the cat was holding in its mouth was not some glittering gold coins, but just a few large round "butter biscuits".

This time, the truth became clear. The cat raised its children with the biscuits it stole from nowhere, but the nervous Li Douniu mistook them for gold coins.

Also because of Li Douniu's paranoid behavior, he followed the dumb cat for more than three miles and came out.

Under the gap between inner expectations and results, an unprecedented anger and anxiety quickly occupied Li Douniu's mind.

Disappointed, he rushed out desperately, first killed the mother cat with stones, and then killed the kittens one by one to vent his anger!
Immediately, Zhao Huo's tombstone was filled with blood, and those cats also became victims of Li Douniu's paranoid desire.

After venting his anger, Li Douniu's eyes were red. He looked at the mess on the ground and the cat's corpse. While he was a little at a loss, he was still smiling at the exciting killing just now.

But at this moment, Li Douniu heard another cat's miserable cry.

After being stunned for a moment, Li Douniu looked back with a gloomy expression.

He suddenly saw that behind him, under Zhao Huo's tomb, there was a kitten with black body and white forehead that he had forgotten was alive.

The cat obviously also saw the scene where its mother was tortured to death by Li Douniu just now.Because of this, the beast was trembling with fright, and even forgot to run away.

Li Douniu, whose eyes were red, hugged the cat without hesitation, but just when his heart was furious and he was about to throw the cat to death, he stopped suddenly.

Li Douniu was surprised to find that at this moment, in the mouth of the black-body and white-fronted cat, there was actually an ancient coin in the same shape as the "gold coin" he discovered earlier, except that the coin did not contain gold. On the contrary, it has a silver-white dark light, which seems to be made of silver.

Surprised, Li Douniu put down the kitten, took a silver coin in his hand, and played with it a few times.

At this moment, he saw again that the kitten suddenly raised its paw, and kowtowed at Li Douniu in an unimaginable way.

This cat is actually begging for mercy to Li Douniu?
Facing the black cat kneeling and begging for mercy, Li Douniu was curious and expectant.

He looked at the silver dollar in his hand and suddenly understood something.

Could it be that the cat is trying to bribe itself with money...to sue him for his life? !
In order to verify his idea, Li Douniu tentatively asked the kitten, "If you are giving me back some money, I will spare you!"

The kitten tilted its head, and after listening to Li Douniu's words, it burrowed back into Zhao Huo's grave.

A few minutes later, when it came out again, it still had a coin in its mouth, but this time the coin was copper.

Li Douniu, who got the coin again, was overjoyed, and he immediately realized the value of the kitten.

Li Douniu still didn't get the gold coins, but he felt that he got something better than gold coins.

So he took the cat home.Because he was afraid that his father would beat him, after returning home, he lied that he had met Zhao Qingshan's soul, and was almost hooked away. Fortunately, a sloppy old Taoist priest saved his life and followed the old Taoist priest's instructions. Only then did he find this "black cat" to block evil spirits...

In this way, Li Douniu supported the "Lamp King" by mistake.And step by step fumbled to use it to seek wealth and murder.

... I heard him say this, and I couldn't help but continue to ask: "Then how did you become a 'Duan Tianshi'? Why did you become neither human nor ghost?"

Facing my question, Li Douniu told me: "After getting the Lantern King, I thought I had picked up a treasure, but who knew that it was a disaster! Its shrewdness and greed have already surpassed ordinary cats, and it is better than yours." These normal people are more than worse!"

Afterwards, Duan Tianshi told us all the bad deeds of that cat demon.
