The spit wet a small piece of soil, which was extremely disrespectful to the deceased. But after Baobao spat, he still felt that it was not enough, so he kept saying: “Bah!”
Xu Maomao grabbed its tail: “What are you doing?”
Baobao bared his teeth at the grave and said, “This is the grave of that evil housekeeper!”
Shen Yu: “How do you know?”
Baobao showed an expression of disgust full of revenge: “Because I come here every few years to spit at him. For such a big bad guy, he is lucky that I didn’t crush him to ashes. So what if I spit on him?”
Xu Maomao nodded quickly: “That’s right, you are right!”
Baobao breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the Ragdoll Cat to invite him warmly: “Sir, come and spit, and accumulate merit.”
Xu Maomao didn’t care about merit or demerit, but ever since he heard Baobao’s story, he felt disgusted with the housekeeper and his master’s uncles, so he spat without hesitation and showed off: “My mouth is bigger than yours! So, my spit can also reach farther than you!”
Baobao: “As expected of the cat immortal!” Anyway, he could always find a spot to slap the cat’s rainbow fart.
Shen Yu: “…”
His Maomao was really childish sometimes~ but it’s a little bit cute.
Shen Yu was not so easily incited. Instead, a thought flashed through his mind, could the butler’s death be related to Baobao? Otherwise, how would it know that the housekeeper was buried here?
But he didn’t ask. After all, the death of an unrelated person had nothing to do with him. Besides, that person also deserved his death. He was not a judge, so it was not his turn to judge such matters.
They continued to search through the mass graves. Because of the age, many of the tombstones had not been repaired, and the handwriting was very mottled. Shen Yu originally hoped that Baobao’s nose and Taoism achievement would be able to identify his little master’s grave, but who knew that he would find it first in the end.
It was a relatively hidden, small dilapidated tomb, and there were no sacrifices on the tomb, so it was clean. There was a small tablet standing in front of the tomb, with the words xxxxxx (last name, mosaic omitted because it is a bit sensitive) · Pu Xuan hastily engraved on it, without even the date of death.
Baobao was originally illiterate. After Shen Yu told it that its little master’s name was “Pu Xuan”, it learned how to write the word “Pu Xuan” from Xu Maomao in a short period of time. So when it saw the small tombstone, its big eyes instantly turned red, and large crystal tears overflowed, which it quickly swallowed back. It had become a sensible cat demon and had not cried for many years. The most important thing now was to let its little master regain peace as soon as possible.
Just as Shen Yu was about to place the bouquet in front of the tombstone, Baobao suddenly transformed into human form. At this moment, it was not wearing any clothes, and its long cat tail was still hanging behind it. It was not afraid of the cold, so it was naked. But it didn’t make people feel ridiculous or have any other emotions at all. Instead, there was an inexplicable feeling of loneliness. Baobao took the bouquet and sacrifice from Shen Yu’s hand and said, “Please let me do it.”
Shen Yu handed it to him. Baobao put the pocket watch in the middle of the bouquet and whispered to the grave: “Little master, Baobao is here to see you. If you are here, come out. Baobao is very powerful now. You can get the soul fragment from the watch.”
As it spoke, it bent down solemnly and carefully put down the things in its hands.
It was quiet all around, with a gentle breeze blowing.
Baobao’s ears trembled at high speed, as if recognizing the cool wind.
After a while, it repeated: “Little master, it’s Baobao coming to see you! Don’t be afraid, it’s Baobao, not the bad guy. The bad guy has been taken care of by Baobao!”
Xu Maomao and Shen Yu looked at each other in confusion. Xu Maomao also opened his eyes wide, trying to find any ghost, because he had seen the soul of mother cat last time. Now that he had been practicing for a while, his five senses should be more transparent. However, there was no obvious feeling in this mass grave.
Baobao waited for a while, and repeated the soul call several times anxiously, but the little master still did not appear. He gritted his teeth, took the pocket watch out of the bouquet, bit his finger, and left a bloody mark on it.
Then they heard it whispering a long series of incomprehensible spells. After which a subtle light overflowed from the photo embedded in the pocket watch. The light slowly merged with the blood stain. The next second, the blood stain turned into a red mist and fell from the dial. It steamed up and swayed in the air, as if looking for something.
Baobao sensed it attentively, and after a moment, he clenched his fists and said, “No.”
Xu Maomao probably guessed that it must be searching in its own way, and was suddenly shocked: “No?”
“Yes, this is not the little master’s grave. In other words,” Baobao pursed his lips with some unconcealable disappointment, “his body or ashes have been moved.”
Shen Yu: “It could also be in other graves in this cemetery. After all, in those days…” Mass burials and wrong burials were common.
Baobao shook his head: “No, this soul-searching technique cannot be used too frequently, as it will cause damage to the soul.” As he spoke, he rubbed the pocket watch in his hand with great care.
“It doesn’t matter, I’m very used to it.” Baobao lowered his head and whispered, “It’s just that this time the tomb is really, really close. I really thought I could see the little master just now.”
Xu Maomao cried and hugged Baobao’s legs tightly: “Don’t be discouraged, we will definitely help you find it.”
Baobao returned to his original form, and while thinking, “Why is the Cat Immortal as fragile as a little kitten and not stable at all?” he patted the Ragdoll cat in turn.
Shen Yu was also a little frustrated. After all, he really tried his best this time.
“Next, I’ll check to see if there are any gravediggers. Maybe I can find clues.”
Two cats and one human returned without success.
After returning home, Xu Maomao suddenly thought of the cats in the red envelope group. Although they were just cats, they were all cats that had become immortal! If nothing else, Leader Suan Ni was a big boss in the demon world who had lived for tens of thousands of years. He must definitely know how to find ghosts.
He immediately touched the bell to enter the chat interface and went straight to the group leader for a private chat.
[Oscar (private chat)]: Suan Ni, are you there? It’s urgent. How can I attract ghosts?
A private message required ten love value. Even though Xu Maomao was now a wealthy cat, it was in his nature to be thrifty. This sentence was simple and crude, without any sloppiness.
Unexpectedly, he waited for almost half an hour, but Suan Ni didn’t reply. He had no choice but to change it. Xu Maomao hesitated between the names Black Lightning and Jade Rabbit. In fact, he thought Black Lightning was more reliable, but he was a little worried about disturbing it, so he went to chat with Jade Rabbit privately first.
As a result, Jade Rabbit quickly replied.
[Jade Rabbit]: I have returned to heaven~ I am going to find Brother Yue, hehehe
[Oscar]: Why is this QAQ
[Jade Rabbit]: Where is brother Suan Ni?
[Oscar]: Not found
[Jade Rabbit]: That’s right. Brother Suan Ni recently had a fight with a human named Qiao. He is filming some TV series. So, he is very busy. Why don’t you go find his apprentice? The apprentice is in the human world.
Suan Ni’s apprentice was Black Lightning. In fact, Xu Maomao was too embarrassed to ask for help from it anymore. After all, his favor of the Transformation Pill had not been repaid, but Baobao was so pitiful that Xu Maomao had no choice but to shamelessly send the same content to Black Lightning. After a while, the other party messaged back.
[Hei Mang (private chat)]: Why do you want to attract ghosts?
[Oscar (private chat)]: It’s a long story. I met a cat here who is looking for the remaining soul of his owner as it wants his owner to reincarnate with peace of mind.
Perhaps because he felt that this line of writing was not clear enough so Xu Maomao simply sent a voice message to explain the whole story clearly.
Black Lightning on the other end silently played this voice several times.
[Hei Mang (private chat)]: I am not good at salvation.
Its skills were almost all in the attack system, and it was still relatively powerful in the thunder and lightning system. So, it could help in fighting, but it could not salvage ghosts.
[Hei Mang (private chat)]: If I take action, that little master’s soul dispersion will be sped up.
Xu Maomao passed over with a crying expression. He didn’t mean to be cute, but he really didn’t know how to help Baobao.
[Hei Mang (private chat)]: Don’t worry, I recommend Mr. Void Cat Lord in the group. He is good at cat charms. Maybe there is a way.
Xu Maomao took a look and quickly sent a series of words of thanks.
[Hei Mang (private chat)]: Don’t you care about your body?
[Oscar (private chat)]: I believe in Brother Lightning’s ability
Black Lightning looked at this sentence and his pair of cat eyes flashed softly. Just as he was about to enter a few more words, he suddenly heard a harsh crackling sound coming from the lotus platform where the spell was being cast, and Oscar’s impatient call. With a stern look in his eyes, he quickly turned off the bell and stopped replying.
Seeing that it was silent, Xu Maomao withdrew from the private chat box.
Mr. Void Cat Lord joined the group at a later stage and was said to be a somewhat virtuous cat. However, Xu Maomao was not familiar with him and didn’t know how to start a conversation for a while. Since he wanted to ask the other party for help, Xu Maomao thought that he should prepare some gifts in advance. He went to the mall first and wanted to buy some canned rice – after all, he hadn’t seen a cat in the group that didn’t like canned rice.
As soon as he entered the mall, he saw the small speaker flashing. It turned out that his article was purchased and rewarded by the cats.
[I jumped over the bell, crawled through the group of cats, and lurked here, just to feed you with 100 love points]
[With a wave of the little paw, love is worth a lot]
[Big~ This is the love value earned by the Miao family for being cute, please don’t let the Miao family down, update it every day~]
Xu Maomao almost laughed when he saw this string of fake reward messages. It could be said that the cat mall had kept pace with the times! The fairies after the founding of the People’s Republic of China were indeed fashionable!
After a quick glance at the reward list, the name of “Void Cat Lord” was clearly displayed! And the love value ranking was quite high, second only to the goddess Alalei.
It’s actually reading my short article?
Sure enough, when it clicked onto the article page, it could see that Void Cat Lord was a little angel who liked to leave messages very much. Xu Maomao had a total of five chapters of short articles on display in the mall. He left a message in each chapter and said, “Reading this article is like awakening and enlightenment, the spiritual platform is clear, and writing is like a spirit, which doubles my success rate in drawing cat talismans.”
Xu Maomao picked his ears and carefully recalled what he had written – well, it seemed that the first article was “The Overbearing President Falls in Love with Me”, the second article was “The Imperial General Falls in Love with Me”, and the third article was “The King of Ghosts Falls in Love with Me”…they were all bloody short stories, so how did you get to the point of “awakening and enlightenment” after reading it? emmmm… He suddenly felt ashamed of himself for being vulgar and was afraid that he had led a good cat astray!
No matter, since it was its own reader, it should be easier to talk to. So Xu Maomao edited Baobao’s story into a short piece of touching text, and took a can of rice with vegetable flavoring and poked it into Mr. Void Cat Lord’s private chat page, preparing to pamper this powerful reader.
After being greatly flipped by his beloved, Mr. Void Cat Lord clicked on the big red envelope and sent a calm expression.
[Void Cat Lord (Private Chat)]:=￣ω￣=? what?
[Oscar (private chat)]: Small gift, thank you for your support!
[Void Meow Lord (Private Chat)]: Meow, let me take a look
[Void Cat Lord (Private Chat)]: This is not an update, bad review! I thought Dada would send me a car
Xu Maomao: Shocked. jpg!
Wow, this cat actually knew how to drive! It was like a rhythm that was about to become a spirit – well, it was indeed becoming a spirit.
[Oscar (private chat)]: JJ said you can’t write in detail below the neck, now QUQ will be severely punished
Mr. Void Cat Lord grumbled a few times in disappointment, then accepted the can and said, “Thank you for the big red envelope.”
Seeing that it was in a good mood, Xu Maomao quickly copied and pasted Baobao’s story into the dialog box and sent it.
When the Void Cat received the message, he thought it was a short story specially written for him by Oscar. He looked at it and finally realized it.
[Void Cat Lord (Private Chat)]: Are you looking for a ghost? You found the right cat! Big guy smokes. jpg
