Catching Monsters

Chapter 144 Pu Pu Pu Gu Gu (additional update)
Jiang Yun couldn't help but think in his heart, I was a heavenly master in my previous life, so how could I not be able to control a little thing like you?
But what Jiang Yun didn't expect was that this little guy was extremely smart. As if he had discovered a ghost, he didn't dare to enter the house.

Just hiding in the snow and shivering.

Jiang Yun frowned, and seeing that the little guy was not fooled, he closed the door.

Soon, the little guy's cooing sound was heard outside the house again.

After calling for a while, the voice gradually disappeared. Jiang Yun opened the door and saw that it had disappeared.

Then, I looked around again, but there was no trace of it.

Apparently, the little guy has left.

After closing the door, Jiang Yun sat down on the bed with peace of mind, closed his eyes and began to practice quietly.

The next morning, shortly after dawn, Jiang Yun opened his eyes, stood up and stretched his body briefly, then searched around the house again, but still did not see the little thing.

It looks like it has left.

However, he still had to figure out what that thing was. After all, he was entangled with it, and if he didn't figure it out, Jiang Yun would feel a little unsure.

He quickly came to Xu Xiaogang's house, knocked on the door and woke Xu Xiaogang up.

"Let's go to Tianqing Temple and visit Senior Xuan Daozi."

Xu Xiaogang rubbed his eyes and opened the door: "Didn't Captain Yang say to send someone to Baiyun Temple to ask?"

"Who knows when we can get news after Captain Yang sends someone?" Jiang Yun shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The evil creature had already followed to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion yesterday."

Hearing the latter sentence, Xu Xiaogang frowned immediately, quickly put on his clothes, followed Jiang Yun out, and quickly rushed to Tianqing Temple.

After the two left, Jiang Qiaoqiao had already woken up early in Xu Suwen's yard.

She opened the door, blew a breath of hot air on her hands, rubbed her hands and went to prepare breakfast.

Although there are servants who cook in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

But after all, you are living in someone else's house, and you can't really think of yourself as the owner. Jiang Qiaoqiao is very clear about this.

So I always try my best to make my own breakfast and lunch. After making them, I will go to Tao Yuelan's room and ask if she wants to eat.

But after taking a few steps outside, Jiang Qiaoqiao was suddenly tripped by something.

"Ouch."

Jiang Qiaoqiao rubbed her hands that fell to the ground, then looked back.

In the snow on the ground, there was a small black creature with two eyes.

It's what tripped itself up.

Jiang Qiaoqiao came forward curiously and asked, "Kitten? It doesn't seem to be either."

"What animal is this?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao reached out and touched the little creature's fur.

The little evil creature lay in the snow, feeling a little weak and able to only make cooing, cooing sounds.

"Are you hungry?" Jiang Qiaoqiao heard the cooing sound and picked up the little thing.

"What a strange animal, I've never seen one before." Jiang Qiaoqiao picked it up and looked it up and down. It was just a round little ball, soft to the touch, and a little different from all the animals she had seen.

Soon, Jiang Qiaoqiao carried it to the kitchen.

There are several kitchens in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. After Tao Yuelan knew that Jiang Qiaoqiao liked to cook, she reserved this smaller kitchen for her to use.

After entering the kitchen and skillfully lighting a fire, Jiang Qiaoqiao put the little guy on the stove to keep him warm.

I started to busy myself making hot porridge.

Soon, hot steam rose up, and after warming up, the evil creature gradually recovered.

It blinked and looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao curiously.

“Would you like to eat this?”

After rummaging around in the kitchen, Jiang Qiaoqiao found some raw meat, put it in a bowl and handed it over.

Under the eyes of this evil creature, there is actually a mouth full of fangs.

It opened its mouth and ate voraciously, soon finishing all the meat in the bowl.

As if he had not eaten enough, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Qiaoqiao.

"Do you want more food?" Jiang Qiaoqiao quickly came to the chopping board and cut a few more pieces of meat and handed it to it.

But when cutting meat, I accidentally cut the wound.

Blood slowly flowed out.

The little evil creature sniffed and stared at the bleeding wound on Jiang Qiaoqiao's finger.

Suddenly it jumped up and pounced on Jiang Qiaoqiao.

After jumping onto the table, it actually stuck out its tongue and licked Jiang Qiaoqiao's wound.

Then the wound on the finger healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ah." Jiang Qiaoqiao was also a little frightened when she saw this scene. She originally thought that this little thing should be a pet. But it seems that it is a little different from what she thought.

……

In a quiet room in Tianqing Temple.

A young Taoist priest was making tea. Xuan Daozi sat at the upper seat, while Jiang Yun and Xu Xiaogang sat beside him, one on his left and one on his right.

"Senior, the two of us came here this time because we encountered a strange evil creature." Jiang Yun said, and described the general appearance of the evil creature.

Xuan Daozi, who was sitting above, frowned slightly and said, "Take a pen and paper and draw the evil thing you mentioned."

Jiang Yun nodded, and soon, a somewhat rough painting was completed, but its outline could already be roughly seen.

Jiang Yun then added: "The thing we encountered last night when we were on a mission should have been created by the evil method."

Looking at the evil creature in the painting, Xuan Daozi also showed confusion on his face, and then said to the young Taoist priest in the house: "Go to the library and get the collection of a hundred evil spirits left by the ancestor."

"Yes."

Not long after, the young Taoist brought over a collection of essays.

Xuan Daozi said with a smile: "There are many strange and evil things recorded here. I will help you check it out."

The evil creatures recorded in this collection are not that powerful, but they are rare and scarce.

After searching for a while, Xuan Daozi soon found it. After reading the contents, Xuan Daozi's face darkened slightly: "This should be the evil spirit you mentioned."

After saying that, he handed over the Baixie Ji.

Jiang Yun looked at the content above:
Yin and Yang go hand in hand, good and bad go hand in hand. There was an evil demon named Pu Pu, who brought plagues with him when he was born. At the same time, another evil demon was born, named Gu Gu, who could cure all diseases.

'Puff puff coo'

In the painting above, the appearance of these two evil spirits is exactly the same, just a ball of fluff, equally black.

It is difficult to tell the difference between them just by appearance.

Jiang Yun's heart sank, and he turned around and asked, "Master, that evil creature following me, could it be the Gugu that can cure the plague?"

"That's what the book says anyway." Xuan Daozi said with a smile, but then the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

He glanced at the record in the book again, frowned slightly, and touched his chin: "Plague will follow?"

"Will there be a plague?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun slapped his forehead. Oh no! He was planning to drive Gugu away yesterday. If this thing could really cure all diseases, it would be an incredible treasure.

Among the high-ranking officials in the capital, who doesn’t suffer from pain or illness?

Jiang Yun quickly stood up and said, "Master, I'll take my leave now. I have to go find this Gugu quickly."

Xuan Daozi also frowned and said in a deep voice: "Do you want someone from my temple to help look for it?"

If a great disaster is really going to happen, if we don’t find this Gugu, something terrible will probably happen!
……

Baiyun Temple is located in the bustling area of the entire inner city and is larger than Tianqing Temple and Qingfeng Temple combined.

Over the years, although His Majesty the Emperor did not like Baiyun Temple, the Sixth Prince joined the Temple after all, and in order to make the Sixth Prince live more comfortably in Baiyun Temple.

The imperial court still allocates some funds to Baiyun Temple every year.

"Master Baichen, have the Jinyiwei sent someone over?"

A guest room in Baiyun Temple. Baichen Zhenren is a Taoist nun.

She was wearing a yellow Taoist robe and holding a whisk. Although she was not young, her facial features were delicate, her skin was fair, and she looked to be in her forties.

Master Baichen said calmly, "Please."

Soon, a Jinyiwei from the East Zhenfu Division said with a smile: "I, a Jinyiwei from the East Zhenfu Division, have seen the real person. This time, I am here on the orders of Captain Yang to inquire about an evil object."

After listening to the description of the Jinyiwei, Master Bai Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, thought about it carefully, and then suddenly opened his eyes.

Then the smile disappeared from her face and she said slowly, "Is this evil creature cooing?"

"Yes."

Master Baichen slowly stood up and said, "There are two evil creatures in total, born at the same time."

"The name is Pu Pu Gu Gu."

Speaking of this, Master Bai Chen showed a bit of worry on his face: "I'm afraid that disaster is about to happen."

"I will immediately ask the disciples of Baiyun Temple to search for Pu Pu Gu Gu within the capital. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be a great epidemic that will not be seen in a century."

After hearing what Master Bai Chen said, the Jinyiwei's face turned grim. He quickly said goodbye and went back to report.

Soon, Master Baichen summoned many disciples from Baiyun Temple.

"Let everyone in the temple take action and find Gugu immediately!"

"When a major epidemic comes, only my Baiyun Temple can treat it!"

“This will be a godsend!”
