The mysterious Cat's Eye Cave

There is a Golden Cat Mountain on the west side of Golden Cat Town, and there is a ? cave called Cat's Eye Cave. This cave is called Cat's Eye Cave. The cave was originally just an ordinary cave. Later, because of the war, a filial son carried his mother into the cave. The filial son carried his mother to live in the cave, as a result, the winter snow closed the mountain, and mother and son were frozen to death in the cave. Since then, I do not know whether people admire that filial son, or for other reasons, people walk through that. When in the cave, try to avoid the cave entrance. A few years ago, the new county magistrate Wu Jun let into office, overheard the matter, and took a? The magistrate went into the cave to check and came out. The magistrate said that he heard the inexplicable sound of musical instruments. At the time, we thought he was scaring everyone and didn't take it seriously, but who knows, that night that? The magistrate died. Now, people are even more talking about the cave, saying that there are ghosts in the cave, which can make the devil's music.

Although Wu Junjan did not believe, he did not dare to rashly enter the cave. He has sent several? The magistrate, but those few? People are just into the cave and ran back in fear, saying there is indeed mysterious music inside. There is a? Walked into the deep point, to be found bad, rushed back out, just to the mouth of the cave fainted, five days later to wake up. But eyes blank, a try, he did not even know who he was. This? The magistrate lost his memory.

This, the town exploded, homes closer to the cave are moved elsewhere, and the timid are afraid to look at that. Hidden in the jumble of trees in the cave.

This day, Wu Jun let the magistrates in the county office at the main gate "the court ban on the transport of private salt" next to the notice, and posted a notice, saying that who can subdue the devil in the cat's eye cave, the reward of 1,000 taels of silver. Although everyone's eyes are staring at the big "one thousand taels", but no diamond, who would not dare to take this? "porcelain work". Standing on the side of the master shook his head and sighed: "It seems that even if the court's four famous arresters here, but also dare not reveal the list into the hole ah!"

Just when people are fascinated by the magic sound of the cat's eye cave, the town came to a wandering Taoist priest, who said he would read faces and yin and yang house. Some people joked and led him to the bottom of the hill, pointing to the? hole and asked: "I want to marry a new wife after the Spring Festival, but because of family poverty, no house. Look, Master, can I have that cave repaired? The cave can be repaired and used as my new house?" The Taoist priest chose a? point, took out a compass, looked left and right, nodded, and said, "You have an eye, this? The cave is in the right place, as long as the cave cut a few large trees, the whole? Daylight can be seen during the day. Good place. If you take this place as a new house, it will be lucky and full of children and grandchildren." A? After hearing the words of the Taoist priest, the people who followed the lively crowd laughed. The Taoist priest asked him what he was laughing at, and the man told the story of what had happened over the years. Finally, the man said without sarcasm: "If you are hungry, I will go home and get you. Vegetable nest, you should not be here to smoke people." After saying that, everyone laughed.

The Taoist priest was not angry and said to the? the man said, "Don't you dare let me give you a face?" The man said, "What's not to dare? You face!" Said, putting on a pose of disbelief, holding his arms and looking at the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest circled him, stared into his eyes, and said, "You have four brothers? You are the third in line." The man froze for a moment, and then said with a big grin: "Forget it, my brothers three? Everyone in town knows that. Do not believe you ask them?" The Taoist priest said without changing his face: "You have a? brother, who was born dead. But you can say that it is not your brother?" The man just wanted to retort, and? the old man said, "Yes, winter melon, you do have a brother. Brother." The man named Dongguan rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and muttered, "Don't tell me, you have a brother. Stinky Taoist priest has two skills."

Hearing that the Taoist priest was right, everyone scrambled to get the Taoist priest to show them. The Taoist priest said he needed to see the house to more accurately calculate a? s fate. Some people rushed forward to pull the Taoist priest and let him go to their homes to see him. Then, everyone flocked to the Taoist priest in the town.

The Taoist priest's face reading

Golden cat town is not too big, the Taoist priest will read the news of the yin and Yang house. It soon spread throughout the town. Someone then reported to Wu Junjan, Wu Junjan sent people to invite the Taoist priest to the county courthouse, and ordered him to prepare food and wine so that the Taoist priest to see for himself, there is no official luck that day. During the meal, Wu Jun let listens to the Taoist priest said the cat's eye cave? Good place, skimmed his mouth and said, "I'm afraid this time you look wrong, right?" Wu Jun let again the cat's eye cave of the weird told, and finally said, "decades, there have been seven or eight? People accidentally enter the cave, and then inexplicably die at the entrance or lose their memories. Therefore, I posted a notice, that to avoid unnecessary casualties, the town's people are not allowed to approach that. cave. If any outsiders want to enter the cave, the locals who see it have to stop." Saying that, Wu Jun let also took out the draft of the notice for the Taoist priest to see, the Taoist priest said with a smile: "In fact, I can see at a glance that? the hole was unusual, but I had to say the opposite to draw attention to it. Now, my purpose is achieved, the light I in this? A small town face reading mansion can be enough to pay my way back to Jiangnan. It is God's help to me." Wu Junjan said, "What's the point of reading for those cheap people? I'll send someone to send you out when you're done reading for me. Don't worry, I'll pay for your travel expenses!" The Taoist priest shook his head and said, "In the eyes of our monks, there is no distinction between rich and poor. Since I promised the villagers, I have to keep my promise. Master, you can rest assured that I will look at a few households and leave when I have enough money for the journey." Although Wu Jun let unhappy, also can not say anything, but? Strongly persuade the wine.

Enough wine and food, the Taoist priest really out of the county office, following those waiting to see the yin and Yang house. Walking, the Taoist priest pointed to a? The house with barren grass in front of the door said: "This? House orientation is good, I do not know why it has failed to such a state?"

Followed by the winter melon said, "This house is a good location. The owner of the house is called Sun Liangkun, although people are a little demented, but is known far and near the famous piano maker. But a few years ago, he disappeared with his mother and has not returned since. I heard that it went to Jiangnan. Taoist priest nodded, and asked some Sun Liangkun's situation, and began to give everyone a face to see the house.

A few days later, the Taoist priest came to the county office to say goodbye, Wu Jun let him give himself a look. The Taoist priest looked around at the magistrates and wanted to say something. Wu Jun let a wave their hand, the magistrates are out, and the Taoist priest said: "Lord seal dark, afraid of a big disaster!" Wu Jun let amazed, anxiously asked: "I said that these days the eyelids always jump, it turns out ...... I do not know if there is a way to break?" The Taoist priest said, "There is. But need one thing." Wu JunJian busy asking what, the Taoist priest mysteriously said: "with a hundred pounds of refined salt, scattered all over your study living room, you can eliminate the disaster."

Wu Junjan frowned and asked, "A hundred pounds? Where can I get so much refined salt? Besides, how can this refined salt ward off evil spirits and disasters?" Taoist priest said, "People generally believe that ghosts are afraid of red while they are the most afraid. You see my duster is white. And of the white stuff, refined salt is the first choice to ward off evil spirits because it is salty." After saying that, the Taoist priest stood up and said.

"I've thought of a way for you, you look after yourself, I'm going on my way." Said, a flip of the hand in the duster, long away.
