I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 589: Cats also have their past
"In that case, why doesn't Sanhua Empress just bury her prey in winter?"

"?"

The expression of Mao'er on the altar was suddenly stunned.

The question seemed to hit her.

Then I fell into deep thought...

"I don't mean anything else. I just thought that since the prey buried in winter is not easy to spoil, but it is easy to spoil in hot weather. There are not many tributes in winter, and it is not easy to catch prey. The opposite is true in hot weather. So the Sanhua Empress only buries prey in winter. Is that enough?" Song You said for a moment, "I just thought about it casually."

"right……"

The cat's eyes flickered and he continued to think.

After thinking for a moment, he frowned and did not agree.

"How can it be..."

The cat muttered quietly, but couldn't explain why.

I just feel like this is not okay.

It must be buried.

It needs to be buried all year round.

As long as there is a lot of prey, it must be saved.

How can it be done without saving?

The calico cat shook his head, then thought about it, and suddenly became happy again: "He is still a good person, he is powerful, he is smart, he doesn't have to bury his flesh, and he won't be eaten by insects."

Happily, Empress Sanhua has mastered this high-end skill that originally belonged only to humans through her diligence and studiousness.

No wonder people can keep cats.

It's amazing...

Speaking of which, the Taoist priests were even more powerful than them. Sanhua Empress followed the Taoist priests and became even more powerful. Not only could she use salt to store meat, but she also had an extra brocade bag like the one in winter, so that the meat would be more delicious. It won't go bad easily - she is extremely satisfied when she thinks that she can eat the wax mice, chickens, rabbits and dried fish and loaches in her brocade bag for several days.

As for the sorrow and sleepiness of the past, they have gone with them.

The cat leaned down, raised its buttocks, stretched, yawned, lay down again, looked at the Taoist priest levelly, and continued to talk to the Taoist priest.

"Actually, this temple is not the original temple of Sanhua Empress. Sanhua Empress's original temple was in the mountains over there. There were very deep woods on the side. It was just a very small temple. It was later An old man named Muramasa moved the statue of Sanhua Empress from that temple to this temple. When it was there, there were not so many people who came to offer incense to Sanhua Empress. It’s enough to catch mice every few days. After coming here, more and more people are offering incense.”

Cat's eyes were very bright when he thought about his life back then, but his mouth kept talking.

"Sometimes I have to go every day, and sometimes I have to go to several places in one night. It makes Sanhua Empress very tired. There are only a few people in the cold weather. Fortunately, Sanhua Empress can find a way."

Mao'er didn't mention that after moving to this "big temple" originally dedicated to evil gods and the prosperous incense, she directly attracted the attention and suspicion of the local road god. Maybe she no longer cares, maybe she has forgotten it for many years. Or ignore such unimportant things.

"Later, in order to thank him, Empress Sanhua brought him a mouse in her mouth, but he refused to eat it. Empress Sanhua caught a bird and brought it to him, but he let it go again. Just like you."

"Then who first enshrined and erected a statue of Sanhua Empress?" Song You asked curiously.

"I can't remember. Anyway, it was a small temple with no people." Mao'er tried hard to recall, because the memory was too vague, and his speech changed from fluent to sloppy. "It rained once, and even the woods in the mountains were blocked." It was raining that couldn't be covered. Sanhua Empress went to someone's house to protect herself from the rain. She was chased away by the dog, so she went to hide in that small temple... Yes, I will take you there to play tomorrow..."

"Um……"

Song You sat down on the ground, nodded to her, and motioned for her to continue speaking.

Over the years, he had become accustomed to Cat's out-of-the-box thinking when talking.

"It seems that the rain has stopped, but Sanhua Empress did not go out because the ground outside was sticky and all the mud would stick to her feet. Cats cannot be dirty, only dead cats can be dirty. And if they are dirty, they will be even more dirty. People chased her away, she was bitten by dogs, and it was very tiring to lick her." The calico cat lay on the altar and preached to him, "But a man passed by outside and saw the Sanhua Empress. I don't know why, but he actually gave her to the Sanhua Empress. I paid my respects and then gave a cooked bamboo shoot worm to Sanhua Empress to eat."

Song You almost constructed a picture in his mind.

It must be summer.

Bamboo shoot insects are found in bamboo forests and mostly appear in summer, especially when the weather is hottest.Poor people often try their best to find food around them, and many delicacies come from this.After the bamboo shoot worm is cooked, its body is almost entirely meat, and it tastes very fragrant. It is a rare delicacy and a god-given meat.

This is also in line with the description of heavy rain by Sanhua Empress. Rains in summer are often like this. Once they start, they are unstoppable and can break through the leaves in the forest. The small animals in the mountains can only evade in a hurry.

Some villagers went up the mountain and saw a beautiful cat in a small roadside temple that had been abandoned for a long time. Maybe they had just heard a similar story, maybe there was a mouse in the house, maybe there was no other reason, but they regarded Sanhua Empress as her mother. There were spirits who gained Taoism in the mountains, and the Sanhua Empress at that time was indeed born with some intelligence, at least far smarter than ordinary cats.

“The roasted bamboo shoot worms are so delicious!”

Cat did not forget to say this to him.

"Then Empress Sanhua expressed her gratitude and followed him to his house and caught mice for him. After that, other people came to worship Empress Sanhua." Song You said, "Is that so?"

"how do you know?"

"Guess."

Empress Sanhua knows how to repay her kindness, and she will repay the favor.

"You are very smart." Mao'er said, "Later, Sanhua Empress went out to look for food, but she couldn't find it for a few days. When they saw Sanhua Empress was not there, they made a fake cat out of mud and put it in it, and still took care of Sanhua. The empress is called Sanhua Empress."

"A lot of them are like that."

"Well……"

"Then does the later Sanhua Empress prefer the small temple of the past, or this big temple?" "Hmm..."

The lying cat's expression became condensed again.

This asked her again.

Then continue to ponder...

"The temple used to be small and comfortable, and it was in the woods. It was very convenient to catch bugs, rabbits, mice, sparrows and snakes to eat. It was also fun. Just walk a little further down. In the village where people live, you can also catch mice, which is also very fun. Sanhua Empress likes it very much." Sanhua Cat said while thinking, "But this temple is bigger, and more people come to offer incense to Sanhua Empress. In addition to the endless small fish and loaches that are eaten every day in winter, Empress Sanhua also likes them very much."

"Is that so..."

The Taoist nodded.

The cat continued to chatter with him.

That night was the busiest. She ran back and forth between houses and ran wildly on the mountain road in the middle of the night.No one came for a while, which made her think that no one would come to see her again, and she felt depressed for a long time.Which household at the foot of the mountain had the most rats? Which household actually brought her half a chicken? How lively it had been over the years, and how often was she hiding in a temple and being discovered by a guest staying overnight?

I have been a god in the temple for many years and have endless words to say.

It was already dark outside.

The lanterns in the ruined temples in the mountains were lit, and the voices were speaking in harmony.

Naturally, I will rest here tonight.

No one else came to stay overnight.

But in the middle of the night, when everyone and the cat had gone to sleep, an evil spirit came to visit them from outside, peering at them through the temple door without a door panel. They were full of evil spirits and wanted to enter the temple.

Sanhua Empress's reaction was much more intense than usual when she met a demon. She rarely got angry. After being alert and awakened, she just lay on the altar and looked at the evil spirit for a moment. When it wanted to come in and harm people, she rushed out like lightning. , a fire burned it to ashes, leaving no residue at all.

Early the next morning, in another mountain.

The woods are indeed lush and wild.

Next to the path, between a few big trees and covered by messy thorn bushes, there is a small temple less than half a person's height. It is very simple. It was originally supposed to be a temple for the mountain god or the earth. Later, maybe because there was no mountain god in the area, there was no such thing. The land was not conceived. People found that it was not effective and it was useless to worship it, so it was gradually abandoned.

Until Sanhua Empress got her.

But now the small temple has been abandoned for the second time. After more than ten years of wind and rain, even the roof of the temple has collapsed in half and is covered with leaves.

"right here!"

The Sanhua Empress was obviously a cat, but she raised a white-gloved paw, pointed at the small temple in front, and turned back to the Taoist.

This action is quite humane.

"The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, warm in winter and cool in summer, and the feng shui is very good. It is a treasure place." Song You looked left and right and said casually, "No wonder it gave birth to the Three Flower Empress."

"correct!"

After the cat finished speaking, he wanted to move forward.

However, over the years, the thorns have grown thickly, but there is not even a gap for a cat to get through.The calico cat tried to get through, but was quickly stopped back. Forget it, there were actually several thorny vines holding her back, preventing her from entering.

Just then, a voice came from behind——

"Please give way."

It was undoubtedly the voice of my own Taoist priest.

"Well?"

Mao'er was confused and turned her head immediately to see who he was talking to, but before she saw her Taoist priest, she immediately turned her head back and was attracted by other movements around her.

"Rustling, swishing, swishing..."

There was a slight friction and shaking sound.

The thorns that crisscrossed and blocked the front of the small temple, as if they could understand people's words and become sensible and sensible, they automatically shrank back, one by one, as long as they grew. Originally, apart from cutting with a knife, The thorns that were difficult to separate under fire suddenly disappeared.

Make way for her.

After a moment-

Mao'er sat on the other side of the collapsed small temple covered with fallen leaves. She sat upright and at almost the right height. She raised her head and looked at the Taoist, telling everyone that she was sitting here like this back then.

Cat's heart was filled with wonder when he revisited his old place.

It's just that she doesn't know this is called feeling.

However, time is limited and there is still a long way to go.

Sanhua Empress only stayed here for a while, recalling the past, then followed the Taoist, left here, and returned to the Jinyang Road.

……
