Doubt #831

and was called away by his former senior.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!It seems like an old professor suddenly went to the hospital. The professor didn't have any...Black cats are the opposite of black dogs. Dogs correspond to the twelfth earthly branch, the Five Elements stone soil (xu tu), which is yang earth. Dogs are animals of yang, possessing spirituality. Because dogs are also more loyal, some people in certain circles keep black dogs to ward off evil spirits.

And the cat……

The Xuanmao, a mystical creature that wards off evil. It should be placed in the south. Beneficial for all generations.

Xuan (玄) means black. This refers to the spiritual belief that a black cat wards off evil and brings good luck to a home. However, some people believe black cats are a little ominous because cats, by nature, can be unpredictable. Sometimes, what is meant to ward off evil can turn into bad luck.

And this little black cat's origins are unusual. It was poisoned, but Mu Wanchen cured it. If it were in danger, Mu Wanchen wouldn't continue to keep it.

After being rescued, this little black cat became more loyal. Although it's not like it guards the house, it will meow when someone enters the courtyard.

Except for me and my sister.

At this moment, it puffed up its fur and barked at the gate. I followed its gaze, and something seemed to flash past the entrance.

It seems like someone walked past.

There are many people in my house. Almost everyone is at home except those who have gone out. Who walked past our gate

Why is the kitten looking so fluffy

As I went downstairs to have a look, the little black cat immediately jumped to my feet and raised one paw, looking very wary.

I walked to the entrance of Yue Dongmen and looked around, but there was no one.

Just as I turned around and took a few steps, a chill ran down my spine. The black cat puffed up its fur and let out a frantic screech that sent shivers down my spine.

I slowly turned to look, and a small, gray head was poking out from the moon gate.

"Ah!!" I was startled.

Ghost How did it get into my house! My house is full of talismans!

That little head shook back and forth, then whispered: "……Miss sister, can you save me"

"...Are you talking to me" I stared wide-eyed, was this a ghost

"I feel like only you can save me... only you can..." He pleaded, looking at me with desperation.

"I don't know you! If you have any unfulfilled wishes, go tell a Taoist priest! Or dream about your family!" I was terrified.

"Save me, save me..." The little head slowly retracted, and the chill gradually disappeared.

I went out to the door and looked, but there was no sign of a ghost in the corridor.

Good heavens, what in the world is this thing How did it get tangled up with me

Am I this attractive to ghosts and spirits It's like ever since the Xīngū has been living inside me, I've been encountering all sorts of strange things.

Female Gu… I reached up and touched my abdomen.

If all things are divided into yin and yang, is the Wanwu Fen Yin Yang (萬物分陰陽) female gu just the extreme of yin among the insects

The male gu worm is on Mu Wanchen, while the female gu worm can't find a container and therefore can't grow up, it's very weak. That's why all kinds of strange gods and ghosts are eyeing it

The bracelet Mu Wanchen gave me is a holy relic, presumably to counteract the yin energy of the female gu.

But how can I save this little fella He just popped into our house out of the blue...

Wait, could this little guy be the one who was in the hospital Is he dead already

My hands trembled as I pulled out my phone to call Junior Brother, when the night before me suddenly flickered, like a drop of water hitting the surface of a lake, causing ripples in the scene.

Mu Wanchen appeared before me in a hurry.

"Mu—" I just uttered a word when Mu Wanchen suddenly lifted my chin with his hand, tilting my head upwards.

He sounded a bit anxious: "Who have you been in contact with"

"Wood, wood isn't here..." I was completely dumbfounded. What's going on

"Why is there such a heavy feeling of evil between your brows Did you run into someone" He reached out and pressed his hand against my forehead.

I randomly touched my forehead, but I didn't feel anything unusual!

“On my way back, I met a woman holding a child. I only glanced at the child from afar and didn't make direct contact. Just now, the child's soul came to my house…” I hurriedly explained.

In the distance, a fellow student walked past the corridor. I quickly pulled Mu Wanchen in and whispered, "Go to my room and talk. There are too many people here..."

He let out an almost imperceptible sigh, and I felt a twinge of anxiety—I hadn't meant to cause trouble, and it wasn't something I could have prevented. Was just looking going to get me in trouble too

"I was being too impatient." He shook his head and let out a sigh.

"What, what are you doing"

"...I shouldn't have planted the female gu in you so early. I waited too long. If I can't refine the Gu King, the magical gates of the Mi River Basin won't be repaired, and the people's situation will be too dangerous. That's why I was anxious to plant the female gu in you..." He said in a low voice.

Sitting on the tatami mat in my room, he shook his head helplessly: "You are still young. In the mundane world, an eighteen-year-old girl is just coming of age and has not yet reached marriageable age. I can't bear to let you leave home, so I can only try my best to balance both sides."

"Just now when I saw the images Mu Xiaoqiao brought, I thought I was seeing things. The demonic aura on your brow is so heavy, you must have encountered a formidable opponent... You really haven't had any direct contact with anyone"

"Absolutely not! I swear, since I got back, I haven't touched a single stranger." I raised my hand in oath.

"And what about the woman and child you were talking about"

The child is in the hospital, unknown if alive or dead. The woman has disappeared, and the hospital has already called the police.

"...this might not be mother and son." He looked up at me: "You've probably run into a powerful sorcerer."

"A sorcerer Are you talking about...that woman" I asked in surprise.

Mù Wǎn Chén nodded. “You said that child looked pale and cracked, with purple lips. Perhaps he had already died. That woman might be a sorcerer looking for the child's body. She wanted to hitch a ride but didn't want to reveal her purpose or identity. She probably tried every means to get the child to her destination, but someone sent him to the hospital instead. She had no choice but to abandon the child and run away.”

The Wuzhi lineage originated in southwest China and spread to Southeast Asia and the South Seas. After combining with local shamanism, it developed into a powerful sorcery school known as "Krathong". There are many types of Krathong, which can be roughly divided into: non-spirit type and spirit type.

Now cremation is the norm, so it's not easy to find new graves. That woman probably took advantage of the earthquake and disaster to steal bodies.

"A sorcerer has many ways to refine and raise ghosts. We generally don't like to call these people sorcerers." Mu Wanchen said with disdain.

Perhaps the woman wanted to use the child's corpse to raise gu worms and then control its soul, refining it for her own purposes.

I scratched my head. No wonder, when I told the woman I wanted to see the child, she immediately refused, saying that she had been delayed by incompetent doctors and wouldn't let anyone touch the child.

"That little ghost got into my house and said he needed saving. How am I supposed to save him"

Mu Wanchen hadn't had time to answer when footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. My sister pushed the door open and said, "Xiaolu, look, Dad won't answer his phone again, eh Who are you—"well be a good one and not get emotionally involved."Mu Xiaoqiao, don't listen to him. He has no filter." Jiang Qiyun frowned.I rubbed my face, rubbing the tears back, and adjusted my expression. "Wel...
