Chapter 195: Accepting a Disciple

My neck was bitten so hard that hot blood flowed down my neck to my back. I grabbed it hard with my hands and felt a furry ball. It turned out that the cat demon threw out a demon shadow when I was not prepared.

I wanted to pull it off with my hands, but the other party bit it too tightly! This also aroused my bloodiness. I gritted my teeth and endured the piercing pain. I stared at the old Taoist not far away and grabbed all the chopsticks on the table in my hand. I threw eight chopsticks at the cat head.

At the same time, the eight talismans in front of the table ignited flames. I used the Five Thunder Curse and used the eight chopsticks as sharp arrows to shoot Yin arrows to hit its soul!

When the chopsticks were inserted into the cat head, the old Taoist wailed in pain, and then he ran towards the cat head like crazy, but before he could do anything, the long-burning lamps placed around the cat head emitted a sky-high flame to form a fire wall to block its actions.

Then he picked up the Seven Star Sword again and slashed at the cat on the back of my neck. The demon shadow fled in panic, and his clone was injured by the evil spirit of the Seven Star Sword.

Because the sword is a murderous weapon, the Seven Star Sword has been stained with countless evil spirits since Wang Yi passed it to me. Coupled with the Taoist spirit, it is naturally more evil than evil, and it is worthy of being the weapon to slay demons and monsters.

Most of the influence materials like to mislead others and make the monsters so awesome, but in fact, they are not. I think everyone has read the Investiture of the Gods, right? Whether it is the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect or the Four Holy Mothers of the Jie Sect, they all have their own skills after their own practice.

Then the question is, since everyone has achieved success through acquired efforts, some people have become social elites at the age of 20, and some people are still mediocre at the age of 90. So, these monsters have only lived a few more years than humans, they know more, and they have learned more diverse skills.

After the cat demon was hit by my Yin arrow, he ran around with his head in his hands. With the blood oozing out of his neck, I spread out the big talisman paper under the altar, printed a bloody handprint on it, and then threw it at the cat demon, pointing my sword at the flying big talisman.

With a muffled sound, the talisman paper burst into flames with a bang. After a moment, only the bloody handprint was left in the air, hovering in the air, and then slowly flew towards the old Taoist. I snorted coldly, "You listened to the scriptures and practiced in Putuo Temple, but turned into a Taoist priest to harm people. With such intentions, I will definitely not let you go!"

The bloody handprint is also called the 'True Yang Hand'. The cat demon bit my neck, and the blood there was between the two Yang Fires. I took the opportunity to kill him with the bloody handprint.

The handprint was erratic, seemingly slow but unavoidable. When the talisman accurately hit the old Taoist, I heard a shrill cat cry. The old Taoist was imprinted with a blood talisman on his neck, and his body trembled as if he had been electrocuted.

"You destroyed my Taoism, I swear to fight you to death, and I will bring disaster to this family, making them slaves and prostitutes for generations, sending their white hair to black hair, and their descendants tormenting for hundreds of years until they are extinct." The old Taoist trembled and muttered.

This is a curse of evil spirits, but I have been prepared for it. First, I have a divine body to protect me, so I am not afraid of his curse. Second, the curse will find the life of this family first, but everyone has gone out, and there is only the sleeping baby in the room.

I saw a black mist-like shadow floating towards the baby's room. I was not nervous at all. I walked to the door of the room, bowed my head, and said: "The three wonders in the sky are the sun, the moon, and the stars. The ghosts and gods are shocked. I pray to the five ghost emperors, the Eastern Ghost Emperor Shen Tu and Yu Lei Lin, and hurry up as ordered!"

Just before the cat demon's curse rushed towards the wooden door, I pulled the red cloth hard. Suddenly, I seemed to see two fierce gods sitting in front of the door. They were bare-chested, with black beards and two horns on their heads. One held a peach wood sword and the other held a steel whip.

These two are the door gods in the legends of the Han Chinese nation. They are the Eastern Ghost Emperors among the Five Ghost Emperors. Their restraint of evil spirits is more about killing evil than exorcising evil.

The cat demon's shadow stagnated, and I saw the two gods suddenly emit a brilliant light, which dispersed the shadow. Then I heard the old Taoist howl, and seven cats suddenly emerged from the sleeves and trouser legs of his Taoist robe, and fled in panic. In the blink of an eye, the old Taoist priest turned into a pile of bones at a speed visible to the naked eye.

I snorted coldly. If I could let him run away so easily, wouldn't it be a waste of my preparations for so long? Let the seven wild cats escape, I walked to the place where the peach branches were hung in front of the door, took down the peach branches on the tree, and covered them with red cloth from the beginning of the battle, just to wait for the final opportunity.

Peach is the essence of the five woods, and it is the nemesis of demons and ghosts, but the truly powerful ones are the peach branches after being struck by lightning. That kind of peach branch is hard to come by. I was afraid that I couldn't suppress the cat demon, so I kept covering it with red cloth and hanging it at the door. The purpose was to borrow the power of the two gods Shentu and Yulei.

The Eastern Ghost Emperor among the Five Ghost Emperors was originally stationed under the peach tree, so the peach tree has a close relationship with Shentu and Yulei. Hanging it in front of the gate, no matter where the seven cats run, the peach branch has been contaminated with their evil spirit.

So, I took the peach branch, walked to the position of the cat's head that I blocked, and stabbed it hard on its head, and planted the peach branch in its head like planting flowers.

"Wait!" Suddenly, an old monk came in from the gate. He was wearing a monk's robe and said to me: "Donor, I am the abbot of Putuo Temple. This cat is the cat that takes care of the incense oil in my temple. I wonder if you can spare its life for the sake of the goodness of heaven and the difficulty of its practice."

I looked up and down at the monk in front of me and asked him: "Do you know that this cat demon harms people?"

"Amitabha, everything has cause and effect." The old monk put his hands together, his eyebrows lowered, and I couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

His words made me laugh, cause and effect?

I took out a talisman and pasted it on the cat demon's head, sealing the wound that was exposed when the peach branch was planted. The talisman paper did not get a drop of blood, but only sealed the blood hole. Then I stuffed the cat demon's ears, mouth, nose, and eyes with peach pits.

I turned my head and looked at the monk: "Since what he did is cause and effect, then what I did is also cause and effect." Then my tone became cold, my eyes fixed on the monk, and I said word by word: "Master, do you want to fight with me?"

The old monk shook his head, sighed, turned around and left the yard: "I am not a match for you, but I still want to remind you to stop killing."

"It is cause and effect. If he can be killed, why can't I be killed?" I smiled and said: "People with different philosophies cannot work together. Master, take care."

Watching the monk leave, I was more convinced that the land god had something to say to me. I planted the peach tree to the cat spirit, and connected its eight souls with one soul. This cat demon was completely subdued by me.

I cleaned up the altar except the cat head, and then sat in the yard to smoke. About an hour later, Lao Wei and Wu Yu returned home. Lao Wei was holding a fat cat that looked like a piglet. He said as soon as he entered the house: "Master, I caught it, this cat!"

Wu Yu also said: "This cat is so fat, but I don't know why, it is very flexible. Lao Wei and I chased it from the front and blocked it from the back, and even with a shotgun, we couldn't catch it. In the end, I don't know what happened, the cat suddenly stopped moving."

I told Lao Wei to take a knife and kill any wild cats he saw within a range of 30 meters from his home. Killing seven would end the cat's nine lives.

The soul of the cat demon was suppressed by me with peach wood, and the monk came to beg me to let it go, because as long as my peach branch didn't stand up, no one could save the cat.

Lao Wei excitedly carried the knife out of the door. When Wu Yu and I were left, she pointed at the fat cat and asked me if it was a demon. I just said that if a cat is eaten and turned into a pig, isn't it a monster?

She told me that when the two of them went to Putuo Temple, they climbed over the wall and finally found this fat cat on top of the merit box. She said with special interest: "This cat actually looked at me and Lao Wei with disdain. What's more strange is that when we pounced on it, the cat actually jumped out of the door at some point. It was very flexible and didn't look like a fat man at all."

This is certain. After all, the cat is the main soul among the nine souls. I asked Lao Wei and Wu Yu to interfere with the cat, and I suppressed it with peach branches. In the end, the cat had no way to avoid it and died under Lao Wei's knife. Moreover, the two of them had a causal relationship. The cat wanted to kill Lao Wei's son and was killed by Lao Wei in the end. That was its due end, commonly known as retribution.

It was already very late at night. Wu Yu and I entered the wing room of Lao Wei's house. There was no condition to distinguish between men and women now. The two of us, she slept on the east kang and I slept on the west kang, and we just took a nap.

The next morning, when I woke up, I saw eight cat corpses lying in the yard of the old Wei family, and there were many blood scars on my neck. I felt extremely uncomfortable when I moved my neck.

Wu Yu pointed at my neck and said, "It's festering. Is it okay? Let's go to the hospital."

"It's okay. This is an injury that the hospital can't treat." I was right. My neck was bitten by a monster. It can only heal after I expel the evil poison.

As for how to expel the poison, I guess everyone has seen it. Maybe you have tried it. That is cupping. Use the cupping method to suck pus and blood from the wound. When it is finished, it will heal.

But I didn't expect that I saved the child of the old Wei family, and I also planted an opportunity for myself. It was a coincidence that just when I was smoking a cigarette in the yard, their maid and wife came back. When the two entered the door, the crazy wife insisted that her son woke up and wanted to go into the house to feed.

Wei Meilan refused, but the crazy mother insisted on going. What's more, the woman went into the house and found the child lying on the kang with his feet staring and grinning.

I stood at a distance and loved the baby at first sight. Old Wei followed into the house and burst into tears when he saw that the child was fine.

The crazy mother fed the child until he was full. I went over to tease him, then lifted the baby up and stared at his bright eyes. The more I looked at him, the more extraordinary he felt. But then the child peed and happened to go over my head and landed on the wound on my neck.

In the blink of an eye, the evil poison was swept away! I felt numb and itchy, and I could even clearly realize that my wound was healing.

So I laughed and said to the baby, "I saved you, and you saved me. Do you want to make peace with me?" I looked back at Old Wei and said, "This child is born in the year of Dinghai, and he is blessed with great fortune, but he is also full of disasters. From today on, you will change his name to Wei Jingzhe. All things come from Zhen, and Zhen is thunder, so it is called Jingzhe."

"Thank you, Master!" Old Wei was so grateful that he cried.

I held the child and continued, "Your child has a deep fate with me. He has many disasters in his life. I accepted him as my disciple and left him a spell for him to practice since he was a child. When he grows up, I will tell him the reason. As for how to go in the future, it's up to him. But he is afraid of water in his life. You must remember that your son will be killed by water!"

After explaining these words, I touched the child's nose and smiled, but I thought to myself, "Since you and I are destined to be together, I will help you."
