Da Zaojun

Chapter 48: Suburban Charity Cemetery
Song Wuji was imprisoned in the county jail for the second time. This time, there were not only ghosts but also rat men caught by Cang Zhongguo.

It seemed the magistrate had put in some effort. Originally, the ratmen couldn't leave the secret realm, but the torturers at the Confinement Department could enslave them, bring them out, and then release them outside, using this torture to squeeze out the spoils.

But what benefits do toilet rats get?

Song Wuji only saw materials such as "bitter tears" and "blood and sweat", and there was not even much blood rice.

The person Song Wuji wanted to see was the one covered in dog hair and who had been poisoned by a demon.

According to the case file, this man's name was Li San. Before the catastrophe, he was an idle street urchin who liked to steal and rob.

This time, it was because he saw a stray dog ​​on the street and became greedy, so he grew dog hair all over his body and was poisoned by the demon.

At this time, he was numb. After all, he saw the guards in the Confinement Bureau torturing demons and ghosts in shifts for twelve hours every day, and he was afraid that he would suffer the same fate.

"Where did you find the dog?" Song Wuji asked directly.

Li San saw a huge black cat following Song Wuji and couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "I'm hungry!"

Song Wuji gave him two steamed buns, but he frowned and said, "I want to eat shit!"

Song Wuji was shocked by him. Is he crazy?

The two torturers from the Confinement Department said, "He's a dog that can't change its nature. After being poisoned by the demon, his habits have become almost like a dog's."

Song Wuji thought to himself: You should go to Cang China and be a toilet rat.

Fortunately, the cat head understood and proudly pooped out a lump of food. Li San was overjoyed and started to eat it happily, which made Song Wuji frown.

"Chew, chew, if I had known that eating the dog would turn me into what I am now, I definitely wouldn't have eaten it. I saw it next to the Earth God Temple in the south of the city. The dog was lying next to the land, so I caught it and ate it."

After Song Wuji got the clue, he and Cat Captain hurriedly fled from the depressing county prison.

There are four local gods and land gods in the four urban districts of Taichang County, namely the south, north, east and west cities, but they have no sense of existence. Logically, the land of villages and towns in the countryside have all revived, but in Taichang County, perhaps because the city god has revived, these four local gods have not made any moves and there are not many incense offerings.

The south of the city is even more of a slum. Before the disaster, the poor in the city gathered here. After the disaster, the county magistrate also settled the victims here.

However, renovations had already begun, and the laborers assigned by the county magistrate were building simple houses here.

Song Wuji and Cat Captain first looked at the Land God Temple in the south of the city, but they didn't see anything. The incense was fading. In the small temple, besides the land god, there were also some broken statues. These were all gods that people worshipped in their homes. When the statues were accidentally broken, they could not be disposed of at will, so they were sent to this place.

"Meow~ The cat didn't find anything~ Meow."

Song Wuji also nodded: "Walk around and see where there are many dogs gathered together. There must be some clues."

One man and one cat first searched the south of the city. After three rounds, they found nothing and had to go back to rest.

I waited until the next day, wondering if the dog had run away from another district, so I searched for it in several surrounding districts, but found nothing after going around each one.

This is also the reason why Taichang County is relatively small. The city wall is only five miles in circumference, and the four urban areas are just four square blocks.

"Do you think it could be the City God Temple?" Song Wuji stroked the fur of the cat catcher. Apart from walking around the City God Temple, Song Wuji didn't feel that he had failed to search anywhere.

"Meow~ Cats don't know either!"

"Are we going to break into people's homes? The secret realm can't possibly be in an ordinary person's home!"

"Meow~? Good idea, meow!"

Song Wuji was reluctant to force his way into the house, but Cat Detective had no such concerns. He leaped lightly onto the roof and began to patrol. But this time, he still didn't find anything.

The cat catcher was a little discouraged. Except for being a little energetic when eating cat food, he was unwilling to take even a few more steps after searching around.

On the third day, Song Wuji woke up early to practice his knife skills and heard Aunt Liu say, "A dog meat shop has recently opened in the south of the city. The meat is cheap. Xiao Song, you cook so well, why don't you cook some dog meat for us?"

"Dog meat shop?"

Song Wuji immediately locked onto the question: "Where in this city are there so many dogs to kill and eat?"

"Eh? Come to think of it, where did these dogs come from?"

Song Wuji immediately went into action with Cat Captain to observe the dog meat shop. It was called a shop, but it was actually just a stall with two pieces of dog meat hanging on it.

Many people were surrounding the stall: "Old Huang, your dog meat is so delicious! I bought two kilograms yesterday. My grandmother, who has been paralyzed for six months, almost jumped up!"

"Hahaha!" Huang Sandian smiled and said, "There will be more tomorrow, there will be more tomorrow."

"Old Huang, where did you get this dog? Did you steal it? I don't see you keeping a dog."

Huang Sandian said, "You guys don't want to leave the city. There are a lot of stray dogs outside the city. As long as you are willing to fight, you can always kill two or three stray dogs."

"It's impossible that the monsters outside the city only eat humans and not dogs, right?"

"That's hard to say." Huang Sandian continued to smile and chopped the meat.

Song Wuji didn't notice anything unusual. When he came to see it yesterday, he didn't see anything unusual, and the same was true today.

Then Song Wuji gave Cat Constable a task: "Follow him. When he leaves the city, follow him."

After Huang Sandian sold the meat, he went to the parade ground to learn the Five Rats Moving Method. This method was promoted to the whole nation, and someone explained it every day in the parade ground.

After practicing for a while, Huang Sandian actually came to the cafeteria to eat. He sells dog meat, but he doesn't eat dog meat himself.

He waited until dusk approached before leisurely leaving the city.

Even Song Wuji and others did not dare to stay in the wild for a long time at night, as ghosts and demons would be more active at night.

Song Wuji thought about it and felt that with his current strength, he would be able to survive as long as he didn't encounter an eighth-grade demon, so he and Cat Cat Head followed.

But Huang Sandian looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he took out a piece of dog skin, put it on his body, and then he really turned into a dog, walking quickly away.

This appearance made Song Wuji certain that this guy must have mastered some kind of magic, but he didn't know whether it was related to the secret realm.

Eight miles away from the city, there is a charity cemetery set up by local gentry as a place to rest the bodies of those who died in a foreign land.

Huang Sandian, wearing a dog skin, entered the charity cemetery, and Song Wuji followed closely behind him, but the cat catcher was furious and unwilling to enter the charity cemetery.

Thinking that black cats are psychic and can see things that humans cannot see, and also that Song Wuji was afraid that there might be zombies or sealed evil spirits in the charity cemetery, he stopped and did not dare to go in, being cautious in everything he did.

Just waiting for Huang Sandian to come out again, two strong big dogs followed behind him, sniffing Huang Sandian's butt.

Song Wuji understood that this was a trick of "fairy dog ​​jumping". The dog skin covered with yellow spots was that of a beautiful little female dog, and the two strong and powerful dogs were males.
