Part 2 The Lost Trail of Lanting Chapter 24 The Nine-Tailed Tanuki


After a while, it was completely dark.

In the dark night of the Chang family camp, only two families had lights in their houses, one was the Chang family and the other was the Ding family.

Because the Chang family settled down later, the house was built some distance away from the mixed-use areas of the village, so you could only see the faint lights, and you couldn't tell which house the lights were on.

People in the old society were very superstitious.

Yes, seeing this will-o'-the-wisp light, my wife Luo Shi basically had a mental breakdown.

During the day, every household was moving with great force, and the whole village was basically cleared.

But at night, there were still lights in the village.

Could it be that it was a ghost?

Thinking of this, his wife Luo Shi began to beg Ding Yi to leave the Changjiaying camp.

During the day, the couple had a fight over this matter.

However, Ding Yi was a more traditional man who always wanted to die.

He would rather die among ghosts and gods.

He didn't want to be dragged back to Beijing in a prison car and then beheaded in the spit of the people.

"Then he can't find another village to live in."

Hearing this, Zhang Guozhong felt that these people of the older generation were too stubborn and were running into trouble.

Not to mention that ten years had passed and Emperor Daoguang had already taken over.

Damn, does anyone remember this?

Definitely, just because of the huge changes in my appearance in the past ten years, my hair has turned completely white, and I am aging faster than ordinary people.

In modern times, it should be safer than having plastic surgery.

Besides, the world is in chaos at this time, who has the thoughts to do it Never mind this fortune teller who has long been unrecognizable.

"Master Zhang, you don't know something.

In the past ten years, Ding Yi has basically sealed the hexagram.

Changjiaying is a small mountain village with little information.

Ding Yi doesn't know anything about major events such as the death of Daoguang and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

According to According to this account in Xiaochen’s will, Ding Yi accidentally looked at the sky at that time.

The main star was dazzling and the guest star was dim.

Ding Yi believes that the Qing Dynasty is making a comeback, which also intensifies his fear of the previous sin of bullying the emperor and harming the country.

However, according to the analysis of later historical facts, this celestial phenomenon is likely to indicate that the Qing Dynasty is about to reach its end.

"This is Sun Ting.

Not only was he responsible for telling stories, he also took the trouble to answer Zhang Guozhong's doubts.

"What kind of book is Xiaochen's legacy?"

Zhang Guozhong took a tattered ancient book from Sun Ting, "Why is this Ding Yi a famous person recorded in ancient books?"

"Haha, this book was written by Ding Yi when he was in the Chang Family Camp.

Part of the story I just told is narrated in this book.

In addition, this book also records what Ding Yi has learned throughout his life.

It covers everything from fortune telling to stargazing and feng shui, and there are also some records of medical skills."

Sun Ting sighed, "Unfortunately, Ding Yi died tragically in Changjiaying not long after, and the book was not finally completed."

"Oh" Zhang Guozhong flipped through the book curiously, "How he died has something to do with that evil thing.

I heard from you that he figured out the divination of dark things and bright things.

I thought he would be spared."

"No, the hexagram of dark willows and bright flowers does not refer to himself, but to his family, his wife and children."

His wife begged again, which made Ding Yi a little shaken.

To be honest, Ding Yi was not a divine man, but a fortune teller.

He knew how to exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits, but he was definitely not a master, at least not in terms of physical strength.

At this time, the strange things in Changjiaying were obviously not caused by ordinary things.

With the appearance of night lights, Ding Yi also fainted, but it was night now, and even if he left, he would have to wait until tomorrow.

In desperation, Ding Yi took out the hexagram sign again and spread out the innate hexagram.

If the light was not emitted by humans, then only the innate hexagram could estimate it.

As soon as the hexagram came out, Ding Yi was really surprised and happy, "The light is in the night, and there is no uneasiness anywhere."

From the hexagram, as long as you go to a place with lights, you can be safe.

Ding Yi used the things he could find at home to simply make some protective measures for himself and his wife.

He put the two magic mirrors passed down by his master on the necks of the two children, and then used a red rope to tie the wrists of the family of four.

They all tied together, lit up lanterns and walked towards the bright place in the middle of the village.

The bright place was about two or three hundred meters away from Ding Yi's house.

In the daytime, it only took a few minutes to walk.

However, when Ding Yi and his family walked, it felt extremely long.

There was a roar of wind along the way.

Not to mention his children and wife, even Ding Yi himself was frightened.

Changjiaying has been staying in Changjiaying for more than ten years.

It is true that he has never walked along this road at night, but it has never felt so weird.

In addition to always hearing strange sounds like wood breaking and stones falling into the water from all around, the two The magic mirror hanging around the child's neck also jingled endlessly.

According to Master Chu Dingyi, this demon mirror is a treasure of the house, not for personal protection.

Although it is okay to protect Ichigo from time to time, it can only block ordinary ghosts and monsters.

If the demon mirror rings on its own, it means that It was washed away by something.

If it becomes a weathered thing, the magic mirror will be spent.

To be honest, By the way, Ding Yi’s master is called Lou Moxun, and he is not a big shot.

The handed down demon mirror is not a shocking treasure, so along the way, every few steps Ding Yi takes, he has to check whether the demon mirror is flowery or not.

Simply until we walked to a bright place, the demon mirror was still very bright.

Ding Yi was not surprised when he discovered that the place where the light was turned on was the Chang family's house.

This old lady used to only look at the people in the village to give alms, but now the people in the village have left.

He is old, and his legs and feet are not good enough to walk very far.

Death is inevitable anywhere.

If it were him, he would probably choose to stay and maybe live a few more days.

After the family entered the house, Mrs.

Chang was so frightened that she shivered on the kang.

When she discovered that it was Ding Yi's family who came in, she collapsed on the bed.

When Ding saw that the old lady seemed to have not eaten for a day, she was very hungry, so he took out the dry food and asked Luo to light a fire and prepare some porridge.

At this moment, a loud cat meow suddenly came from the yard, and then There was a harsh scratching at the door, which made Ding's scalp tense.

All the cats, dogs, chickens and ducks in this village had been gone for eight lifetimes.

How come there were still cats?

Hearing the cat scratching at the door, Ms.

Chang hurriedly went down to the ground and limped to open the door.

It was strange to say that Mrs.

Chang was lame, quite old, and she hadn't eaten for a day at least.

But seeing how energetic she was when she went down to open the door, But he looks like a young man in his twenties.

After opening the door, I saw a huge black-spotted civet cat limping into the house from outside the door.

There were bloodshot eyes, nostrils, mouth corners, and eyes, as if it had just fought with something else.

Chang's Seeing this scene, he cried and held the cat in his arms, limped back to the kang, and gave up his tattered quilt to the cat to cover him.

I heard from Mrs.

Chang that about two months ago, a big civet cat came to the house for no apparent reason.

Mrs.

Chang felt lonely living alone, so she kept the cat as a companion.

Although her rations were not rich, every meal was still delicious.

You need to spread some out for the cat to eat.

Cats are also quite smart.

Although they don’t eat much every day and are getting thinner day by day, even if the chicks hatched by Chang’s old hens are wandering under their noses, they won’t take a second look.

Every day, Chang’s It eats what it eats, sweet potatoes, yams, and cornmeal.

Even chaff, which is hard for these people to eat, and which ordinary cats can't even smell.

As long as it is given by Chang, this big black cat will definitely take it all, even licking the food bowl clean.

It's not a waste at all.

Something happened to Chang's camp this time, and the civet cat disappeared.

Chang Shidun felt that the situation was over, and even the cat didn't care about him.

Who could care about his neighbor Chang Wu persuaded Chang to run away, but Chang refused.

The cat's disappearance was also one of the main reasons, but he didn't expect that a fierce ghost would patrol in the middle of the night.

At that time, the cat came back.

Hearing what Chang said, Ding Yi wanted to make a divination for Chang, and also see the origin of the big black cat.

However, just as he was halfway through the divination, a strong wind suddenly blew outside the house, and the windows and doors were blown.

There was a clang, and the demon mirror around the eldest son's neck suddenly clanged, and Ding Yi was so frightened that he almost dropped the fortune teller on the ground.

Picking up the demon mirror, he saw five or six scratches on the mirror.

Ding Yi's hands trembled on the spot.

Didn't he say that he was uneasy?

What was going on?

The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, and the big black civet cat seemed to be getting more and more nervous.

Ding Yi asked Luo Shi to hold the two children and squeeze on the bed with Chang Shi.

Then he took out a jar of incense ash from the package and placed it on the window sill and door sill.

Spread a layer, take off the two magic mirrors from the child's neck, and One side was hung on the door, and the other side was hung on the window.

The crackling sounds of the door and window stopped immediately.

After about half an hour, watching the cat gradually calm down, Ding Yicai trembled.

A bowl of porridge was put in the pot and served to the frightened daughter-in-law and the Chang family.

The Chang family only had one bowl.

Just when Ding Yi was about to go to the pot and take a few sips of the rice soup with a spoon, the big black civet cat suddenly screamed again and stood directly opposite the door with a squeak.

All the fur on the door stood on end, as if they were about to fight.

The incense ash on the threshold was blown clean from left to right as if someone had blown it, and the demon mirror on the door fell to the ground with a clang.

Ding Yi's youngest son screamed at this time and was so frightened that he peed on the spot.

The elder son simply threw himself into Luo Shi's arms and didn't dare to look at anything.

"Mom", the younger son pointed at the cat and said, "That cat has so many tails."

The words of the youngest son surprised Ding Yi.

Among animals, there are not only snakes, foxes, raccoons, weasels, hedgehogs, and rabbits, but also cats.

The tail is just invisible to most people.

"Could it be that this civet cat is actually a beast cultivating immortality?"

Ding Yi stood behind the civet cat, holding up a peach branch cautiously and staring at the door.

He only heard the door creaking, as if someone from outside the door repeatedly flicked it with a few fingers.

Likewise, Ding Yi knows that this is called a ghost knocking on the door, and the so-called "do not do anything" If you are guilty, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."

That's what I mean.

But having said that, within a radius of more than ten miles, it can be said that these four people are the only ones left.
