Chapter 454: Details about the black cat
"I thought you knew Chitose-sama." Quan Yingdong picked up the boiling kettle and started making tea. "After all, when you found Yan Jing, I remember telling you on the phone."
At the beginning of the year, before Lin Fan returned to the special office, he helped Xue Ping handle a search and rescue mission on the road. Task.
It was also during that mission that she accidentally discovered Yan Jing and held it for a short time.
It is also for this reason that it suddenly became smaller during the Chinese New Year, which led to a series of dumbfounding chaos.
Lin Fan nodded silently and smiled. "I know Chitose-sama, but I don't know that it is a little black cat."
People who know will not take the initiative to talk about it, and people who don't know will not think of asking.
Just like this, the horrifying scene of "Minister Lin boldly masturbating the cat and striking Chitose-sama on the head" was caused by a combination of circumstances.
Quan Yingdong also shook his head and chuckled, "This is really a huge misunderstanding."
Lin Fan took the teacup he handed him with both hands and placed it in front of him. "Chitose-sama is a domineering and powerful name. Who can think of it, who can think of it..."
The great demon who lived a few years ago must be a lion, a tiger, or a leopard, but why is it just a kitten?
This is like putting a "Vicious Dog Inside" sign outside the door, but after doing enough homework, pushing the door open with all kinds of caution, only to find that inside is a teacup dog that is no bigger than a palm. ...
Whether it’s evil or not, it’s hard to describe the gap...
“Have you ever heard of the saying that black cats ward off evil spirits?” But Yingdong understood Lin Fan very well. The first time he knew it was Chitose-sama, he was stunned for a long time.
“I’ve heard of it.” Lin Fan nodded, “But some people say that black cats attract evil spirits, so I don’t know who is true and who is false.”
"A completely black cat was also called a black cat in ancient times. It got its name because of its reddish hair. However, pure black cats are actually rare." Quan Yingdong took a sip. "Throughout the ages, people have always believed that cats can Among them, black cats are the worst.”
Although Lin Fan loves these small animals, he has never studied them, so he listened very carefully.
“The ancients believed that black cats can ward off evil spirits, ward off evil spirits, and suppress evil spirits. Because their tails are curled, they are similar to unicorns, so they are nicknamed unicorn tails. In fact, these round-haired animals can be called unicorn tails if their tails are curled up. It's the Qilin Tail..."
Quan Yingdong is the leader of the weapon refining group. Because of his work needs, he has dabbled in these ancient legends a lot. As he talks, he goes off topic unconsciously. Fortunately, he discovered it in time and changed the topic.
“Many Feng Shui books in ancient times have recorded the efficacy of black cats. It is said that yellow eyes can ward off evil spirits, green eyes can attract wealth, and evil spirits cannot enter the tail of a unicorn, which is widely circulated among all walks of life. ”
"So, the ancients mostly used black cats to guard their houses. As long as there was a black cat in the house, it would be kept at the door facing south. In this way, as long as the cat is there, the family's descendants can always be protected."
"Yeah," Lin Fan nodded, "I've heard the story about the black cat guarding the soul. It said that the old lady was gone long ago, because the black cat was in the house, and neither black nor white could enter the house to guard the soul, so the old lady My wife never knew she was dead. Is it true?"
"Uh... I don't know about that, but if it's a black cat like Chitose, there's no doubt about it." Ying Dong never misses any opportunity to praise his superiors.
Next, he told Lin Fan about the legends of black cats in various countries.
In ancient Egypt, it was a god that could drive away the dead and control life and death.
In Central Europe, they believed that black cats were the souls of witches and were defined as the incarnation of evil. During the witch eradication campaign, they encountered unprecedented disasters.
Later, the H-death disease broke out, and black cats were considered to be the source of the disease. He became the messenger of hell and completely transformed into evil.
“But isn’t the H death disease spread by rats?” Lin Fan dug up this vague history from his few memories.
"Yes, in fact, it was because a large number of cats were killed during the hunting operation that the plague spread, but the cats were inexplicably blamed." But Yingdong curled his lips and poured Lin Fan another glass. . "So in this world, every drink and every peck has cause and effect." He went on to tell some interesting anecdotes about black cats from other countries, some of which attract wealth, some of which bring misfortunes, some of which attract peach blossoms, and some of which serve as the god of death. If you show up, someone will want it.
Lin Fan listened with great interest.
"So, the same species has different meanings due to different cultures and customs? Is this idealism?" Lin Fan concluded.
Black cats are all the same, the only difference is people.
"I am telling you this just to say that the legend of black cats has been around for a long time and has been widely spread around the world. Many of them have high status. On the other hand, there are not many legends about those beasts that look mighty and domineering. Even if there is, the ending is not very happy."
"I know," Lin Fan raised his hand to answer with a smile, "You want to tell me that for one thing, even if it is a known thing, you must pay attention to it. Don’t make preconceptions and generalize! ”
Quan Yingdong was stunned, did he mean this?
Isn’t he just telling stories?
But since Lin Fan had been elevated by him, he couldn't possibly lower himself. With an incomprehensible smile, he filled her glass again.
“Chitose-sama has lived for a long time and has extensive knowledge. To us in the weapon refining group, he is simply a living encyclopedia, so everyone calls him their ancestor in private.”
"I see." Lin Fan nodded, "I thought it was really your ancestor."
Old monsters know a lot, and considering their age, it is not surprising to call them ancestors.
“But in this case, Mr. Qian and Senior Brother should know a lot, right?” Lin Fan thought about the other two big guys in the institute.
"Yes, they are also knowledgeable. But senior brother...you know." Quan Yingdong lowered his eyelids and scratched his nose.
Although I don’t want to admit it, not everyone can bear the intimidation of the senior brother.
On weekdays, it’s too late for everyone to hide, so how can they come up to ask questions?
Besides, it's not urgent for them to refine weapons now. If they encounter something they don't understand, they can just wait. There's no need to go up and ask.
"What about Mr. Qian? Mr. Qian is very good." Lin Fan asked again.
"Old Man Qian is very good, but he is an orthodox cultivator, who uses humans to enter Taoism, and has dabbled in miscellaneous things... Ahem, there are not as many ancestors who entered Taoism as demons." Quan Yingdong chuckled, " After all, Mr. Qian meditates seriously. At that time, the ancestor was still wandering around. After all these years, this habit has not changed."
So Mr. Qian is staying at the Special Affairs Office, and Mr. Chitose is always wandering around. They all stayed not long.
"Besides, we are not in the same department. It is not appropriate to go to him all the time and disturb Mr. Qian's practice." Quan Yingdong added, "Of course, it is because we are not in a hurry to identify. Of course, we are not in a hurry. There will be these scruples.”
Lin Fan nodded and asked the question he wanted to know most.
"Who is more powerful, Chitose-sama or Mr. Qian?"
Through Quan Yingdong's introduction, he introduced the black cat's various abilities, as well as Lin Fan's own sublimated thoughts. , Haha, it’s true, you scumbag thinks too much.
