The Emperor is Above

Chapter 122 Another Black Cat

"Servant of the Cat Ghost God?"

Qing Yi turned his head and asked, "Brother Shi Gu, how could a villain like Cat Ghost God have a servant?"

“The strength of the Cat Ghost God is very mysterious, and no one knows whether he is strong or weak. The worship of the Cat Ghost God first arose in the countries of the Southern Wilderness hundreds of years ago, and there are a large number of servants of the gods accumulated.

Especially in the past hundred years, the countries in Zhongzhou have become rich and prosperous, and there are many believers in the Cat Ghost God. Many people even admire the Cat Ghost God priests. The most basic condition to become a priest is to sacrifice a primary divine servant. "

Tu Shigu hesitated for a moment before he looked up with a complicated expression and said, "Brother, you don't know that half a month after you left Maoqiu Pavilion, Kou Rui's second son Kou Qiang came to see me secretly.

I guess the Cat Ghost God took a fancy to my ability in making armor and weapons, and wanted to secretly recruit me to join him. As long as I was loyal to the Cat Ghost God, I could obtain the status of a junior priest.

It was from Kou Qiang that I learned that the Cat Ghost God not only has divine servants, but also divided them into primary, intermediate and advanced levels. Even the primary level divine servants are comparable to eighth-grade exotic beasts.

The chief black-robed priest who is in charge of preaching around Maoqiu Pavilion has a mid-level black cat servant, whose combat power is not weaker than that of a sixth-grade exotic beast.

It is said that the high-level servants of the Cat Ghost God are equivalent to fourth-grade exotic beasts, so even though I knew that my family's armory was robbed by the Cat Ghost God, I dare not make it public."

Hearing what Tun Shigu said, Qing Yi frowned. He didn't expect that the power of the cat ghost god was so strong. God knows how much unrest it would cause in the capital during the autumn harvest.

At this time, Gongsun Wu came over and carefully looked at the black cat's body. His expression gradually became serious and he said, "My Lord, this black cat has been dead for at least three months. It was brutally slaughtered before it died, and it has been transformed into this weird appearance through evil rituals."

"Dead for three months? Then this black cat must be the primary divine servant that Kou Qiang cultivated. He was the earliest cat ghost priest in Xing State. Now that the primary divine servant has been killed, he must be suffering again."

Tu Shigu couldn't help but gloat over the misfortune. Seeing Qing Yi's gaze, he quickly explained,

“Brother, you don’t know that the conditions for the cat ghost priest to sacrifice and train the divine servants are very strict. They must choose black cats born in the yin year, yin month, yin day and yin hour.

After being fed a special poison, the black cat was placed on the altar and brutally tortured and killed. After its death, its soul was bound to the corpse and could not escape.

Then use the secret method of blood sacrifice passed down by the cat ghost god, sacrifice human blood for 9981 days, and form a bond between the three souls and the cat's soul, so as to refine the most basic primary servant of God.

These cat ghost god servants steal property and even secrets for believers. In addition, they fight under the remote control command of the cat ghost god priests.

The stronger the divine servants that are refined through sacrifice, the higher the priest's status among the believers of the Cat Ghost God. A mid-level divine servant can steal objects from a distance. It is said that a high-level divine servant has such magical powers that he can swallow a granary into his stomach and carry it away.

However, if the servant of the priest is seriously injured, the soul of the cat ghost priest will also be seriously injured. If the servant is killed, the priest will be in great pain and may even become a living dead. "

“It turns out there are so many tricks involved.”

Qing Yi couldn't help but nodded slightly, and said with a bit of disappointment, "This black cat was easily beaten to death by Hua Ni. It's just a junior servant of God."

"Brother, beating the younger ones will only attract the older ones. I think we'd better set off as soon as possible."

Seeing that Tu Shigu looked a little nervous, Qing Yi couldn't help but smile and comforted him, "Brother Shigu, don't be afraid. Even if the cat ghost god has millions of divine servants, we will kill one if one comes, and we will kill two if two come. Is it possible that it will abandon the believers of the eight hundred vassal states and come to compete with us?"

Tu Shigu thought about it and then relaxed a little, saying: "Brother, what you said makes sense. I can't help you with the fight. I can only tan armor and make weapons for you.

But I also heard from Kou Qiang that the servant of the cat ghost god has nine lives, and even if you beat it to death, you can still bring it back to life through secret methods. "

"Cats have nine lives?" Qing Yi frowned in thought, then quickly said in a firm tone, "Then chop up the body of this black cat and burn it to ashes, and see how the cat ghost priest can revive it."

Knowing that the servants of the Cat God had been roaming around the Tuo Hill, the Tuo people were very frightened. Even though they saw with their own eyes that Daniu and Chai Yong chopped the black cat into pieces and burned it into ashes in the charcoal fire, it still could not completely stop their panic.

Even though Tun Shigu, a corporal who was granted a title, was smiling and reassuring his subjects not to be afraid, Qing Yi discovered that his calves were still shaking from time to time.

After working hard in the second half of the night, before daybreak, Tuan Shigu sent his family to prepare breakfast. When the sky was just getting light after a full meal, he urged them to set off quickly.

The appearance of cats, ghosts, and gods' servants last night made everyone in the Tuan family want to leave immediately. Only two elderly servants could not bear to see the Tuan family's house destroyed and volunteered to stay and look after it.

Considering that the caravan had fifty carts and it was not easy to travel through the wilderness, the team had to first advance along the road towards Xiema Pavilion, and then cross the forty-mile wilderness. This way, the difficult route was the shortest.

Between Tunoqiu and Xiema Pavilion, a muddy road winds through the hills. It is no more than two meters wide and is full of muddy gullies after being soaked by summer rains. More than fifty carriages and horses are moving along it with difficulty.

Qing Yi holds a bow and arrow, keeping an eye on the little fox's movements at all times. He is a living early warning radar.

"Ah wu——"

The little fox suddenly shouted warnings towards a forest on a hill. Qing Yi quickly drew his bow and arrow and looked over, only to see another black cat climbing on a tree branch a hundred feet away, staring at the convoy.

"Whoosh-"

The rune arrow in his hand shot out like lightning, but unexpectedly the black cat dodged it very agilely.

Qing Yi couldn't help but frown at the unexpected failure. This black cat looked stronger than the one last night. Not only was it bigger in size, but its movements were also more agile.

The black cat hid behind a tree trunk, only showing its head to observe the convoy for a long time. Its eyes were cold and emotionless, and soon disappeared without a trace.

I killed a servant of the cat god last night, but unexpectedly, just half a night later, a second strange black cat appeared and followed me.

This newly appeared black cat was even more powerful, which made the atmosphere in the team a little depressing, and the smile on Tu Shigu's face disappeared.

More importantly, under the pressure from the cat ghost god and his servants, the people of the Tuan clan began to look at Qing Yi and the people of Guqiu with a hint of resentment.

It is human nature to seek profit and avoid evil. They felt somewhat resentful of Qing Yi for killing the cat ghost god's servant without authorization, which led to complete hostility between them and the cat ghost god.

Under pressure, the convoy moved very quickly. When the sun rose from the east, the team had already reached the vicinity of the horse-resting pavilion. The golden sunlight shining on the wasteland was very spectacular.

The original plan was to have another meal here and rush to Solitary Hill in one breath, but at this time no one had the desire to eat.

Tu Shigu said to Qing Yi repeatedly: "Brother, I have prepared some corn cakes and some dried meat. Let's eat while we are driving in the car. Don't waste time."

Qing Yi could understand Tun Shigu's feelings at the moment. Being chased and entangled by the strange cat ghost and servant like a maggot attached to the bone, and not having enough strength to fight back, anyone would be so panicked.

The convoy drove into the wilderness one after another. Not long after they had gone out, they heard the sound of horse hooves behind them, and someone shouted: "Tun Shigu, as a nobleman, you have the responsibility to guard the land. How can you move the land without authorization? You should know that according to the etiquette, moving the land without authorization will be punished." ps: Second update
