Rebirth: A Super Foodie and Her Cat Demon Husband

Chapter 215 Small Cylinder

She had seen some of these patterns in her previous life, but most of them she had never seen before.

The patterns that had been seen before only accounted for a small part, and they were all seen on the drafts of some jewelry designed by Tang Ziji.

At that time, out of curiosity, she asked Tang Ziji why she had never seen these designs in classical patterns.

At that time, Tang Ziji was drawing the draft while telling himself calmly that these were the underworld texts used in ancient sacrifices, which were rarely used by living people. He used them for praying.

So the inscriptions on this thing should all be underworld characters.

Liu Yuanyuan took out the copper coin again and put it on her eye.

But strangely, it didn't have the slightest trace of black energy she had expected. She turned her eyes to Dai Tong in her arms and found that there was no death energy on his body or in his mouth either.

Liu Yuanyuan had no idea for a moment. After putting away the copper coins, she went to make some goat milk powder for Daitong and continued to slowly pour it into his mouth.

Unexpectedly, Daitong woke up very quickly this time. When she came out after washing up, Daitong was already squatting on the bed licking her own fur.

Hearing the sound of Liu Yuanyuan opening the door and coming in, he looked up at her, then lowered his head to continue licking his fur.

Liu Yuanyuan looked at Dai Tong and thought of Tang Ziji, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said jokingly: "It seems that during the time you are in China, you plan to stay at my house like this."

Dai Tong stretched, swung her tail, squatted on Liu Yuanyuan's bed, looked at herself, and said lazily, "It's more convenient for me to be like this.

It consumes less energy and is easy to track. Besides, I don't eat much, so I think it's great to have your food and shelter provided.

It also saves me from having to find a place to rent and go through all the messy paperwork that would expose my whereabouts. And it's actually quite fun to just stay like a cat."

Liu Yuanyuan walked to the desk and reached out to take the small pillar.

However, before her hand touched it, Dai Tong stopped her.

Liu Yuanyuan's hand stopped in mid-air, and she looked at Dai Tong in confusion.

As a result, she seemed to see an uncomfortable look on Dai Tong's cat face: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this thing?"

Dai Tong licked her paws, wiped her face, and whispered, "Anyway, I told you not to touch it, so just don't touch it. If you have any questions, just ask me and I'll tell you."

Although she didn't know what was wrong with this thing, since Dai Tong didn't let her touch it, she put her hand down obediently. After all, she didn't know anything about this, and Dai Tong and Tang Ziji were the professionals.

Seeing that she gave up on getting the small cylinder, Dai Tong couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Liu Yuanyuan bent down and looked at the small pillar on the table carefully. "Is this thing made of bronze? It's engraved with underworld characters. Could someone have taken this out of an ancient tomb?"

Dai Tong looked at Liu Yuanyuan in surprise: "Have you seen this thing? Do you recognize the pattern on it?"

Liu Yuanyuan shook her head, turned around and looked at Dai Tong, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen it before, so I don't recognize it, but you showed me the pattern on it in your previous life.

You told me these are called "Netherlandish characters," inscribed on vessels used in ancient rituals for the dead, to communicate with the spirits of the deceased and the underworld. They're words specifically written for the dead.

Here is a small part of the underworld text that you showed me at that time. You told me that this part of the underworld text was used to pray for the dead.

I see the patterns on this thing are all the same, which means the rest should also be ghost characters. Since it's a small pillar like this, engraved with ghost characters, and related to the dead, my first thought is that it's a plug used to seal the nine orifices on a corpse.

But in ancient times, most people used jade stoppers. This copper one is indeed rare."

Dai Tong's eyes were a little complicated: "So, we had a good relationship in the previous life?"

Liu Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows: "Your focus is different. As for whether our relationship is good or not, I really don't know.

Although we received notebooks, we seemed no different from our roommates. You often turned into Dai Tong to accompany me, but at that time I didn't know that the little black cat was you, and I couldn't understand the little animal's speech.

We basically don't communicate much, but I often chatter to Daitong about all kinds of gossip.

But we only had more contact after we participated in a project, and that's when you told me this." Liu Yuanyuan said to Dai Tong with a smile.

Dai Tong felt very uncomfortable being looked at by Liu Yuanyuan. She kept looking around and didn't dare to look at Liu Yuanyuan.

Finally, his eyes fell on the small cylinder, and after jumping onto the desk, he scratched the cylinder with his claws and said, "Yes, there is indeed underworld writing on it, and it is also a bronze artifact.

However, this wasn't used to seal corpses in ancient times. As for what it was used for, I'm still not sure, but it should be able to summon the spirit of death.

It seems that in my previous life, I had studied the Nether Script thoroughly, but to be honest, I am still not very familiar with it now. I can only understand a small part of it.

It seems I have to study it carefully later.

However, I suspect that there may be such a small cylinder in the Rubik's Cube in Sui Mingxuan's hand that you mentioned.

After I finish repairing it, I will go to their house to investigate."

"So this is the thing that affected Grandpa Tang's health, right?" Liu Yuanyuan bent down again and carefully observed the small cylinder.

Dai Tong nodded. "That should be right. I'm studying the underworld text and will see what this thing is used for. Also, who does this thing belong to?"

Liu Yuanyuan finally put away her playful expression, frowned, and asked in confusion, "Isn't it very dangerous to investigate this? Otherwise, why would you be unconscious under the trash can in that old residential area?"

"Maybe I was too careless and was discovered by the owner of this pillar, and then she wanted to kill me." Dai Tong said calmly.

"What? You go home to look for something and someone wants to kill you? That's not normal, right? Does your family know that you have a cat? Even if they don't know, if a kitten gets into the house, just chase it out. They wouldn't want to kill it, right?" Liu Yuanyuan's eyes widened instantly.

Dai Tong turned the small cylinder, looked up at Liu Yuanyuan, and said helplessly, "The one chasing me is my grandfather's live-in nanny. In all the years she's been in my house, I've never seen her so violent."

Liu Yuanyuan frowned and squinted her eyes. "I knew there must be something wrong with her. I saw her with a deathly aura when I was in the hospital. Do you think this thing was brought to Grandpa Tang by the live-in nanny? And now there is no deathly aura on this thing at all. Could it be that the deathly aura has all gone to her?

And Grandpa Tang's sudden health problems were caused by being too close to her?"
