Shushan is located among the high mountains in western Sichuan. The peaks are soaring in the sky, like floating clouds. It is said that it is a resort bestowed by the immortal family on the human world.
Since the establishment of the Shushan sect, successive generations of disciples have diligently practiced immortality, entered the world to subdue demons, and imprisoned demons in the Demon Locking Tower to protect the world from evildoers. They are deeply loved by the people and are even revered as gods in Shu.
"Junior Brother Shou Fang, I have decided not to fight monsters with you anymore. You can't even tell the difference between a snail spirit and a crab monster, and you are also a road fool, causing us to walk in one place for ten days!" Chang Yin complained.
As a disciple of Shushan, most of the time is spent in the sect doing daily homework, practicing swordsmanship, meditating, and doing some chores: taking care of the medicine garden, cleaning, etc.
Of course, you can also accept simple demon-killing tasks issued by some elders, and accumulate merit in exchange for elixirs to speed up your cultivation progress.
There are only a few hundred people in the entire Shu Mountain who have truly entered the realm of cultivation, but Chang Yin has amazing talent. He has reached the ninth level of Qi training in just a dozen years. He is only one step away from becoming a high-ranking foundation-building master and has a chance to be selected by the elders. As a disciple who entered the house.
In order to be favored by the elders, Chang Yin thought of coming out to learn the experience of catching monsters from Junior Brother Shou Fang in order to increase his actual combat ability. As a result, this guy's goblin self-judgment was wrong and he was almost killed.
Now the two of them were even lost in the mountains and had no idea where they were heading. Now I can only hope to walk casually, find a populated place, and let others show me the way.
Fortunately, both of them are accomplished Qi practitioners. Even in the mountains and forests, they still have some basic spells: insect repellent, water purification talisman, and fire making technique. Survival is still no problem.
What I'm afraid of is encountering some old monsters. With their strength, they are basically like meat buns beating dogs.
Hey, I hope I don’t meet any powerful monsters!
"Hey, senior brother Chang Yin, is it time for dinner?" Shou Fang said with a flattering smile.
Behind him was not only a huge crab as a trophy, but also several wild boar legs, spices, wild vegetables, etc.
Chang Yin was relaxed and brought nothing but a sword.
What he is most famous for in Shushan is actually not his talent in cultivation. After all, senior brother Xu Changqing's talent is truly amazing. What the disciples love the most is that senior brother Chang Yin has a photographic memory and loves to read in the Sutra Pavilion.
Therefore, Chang Yin knew a little bit about any questions the juniors encountered, whether they were familiar with monsters, common sense, allusions, anecdotes about Shu Mountain, and all kinds of strange skills.
Of course, Chang Yin has a bad habit that is also criticized by his junior brothers, and that is his love of gossip. If everyone has something scandalous, the whole Shushan will know about it in the blink of an eye.
He clearly promised to keep his mouth shut.
Chang Yin took a look at the sky and calculated with his fingers: "It's indeed meal time. Let's eat a roasted wild boar leg and stew a wild vegetable and mushroom soup for lunch today to relieve our tiredness."
"Good!" the defender said happily.
It's a hard life on the mountain. Every day is either green vegetables and tofu, or cabbage and tofu, and you even need to practice the art of fasting. I have always heard that Senior Brother Chang Yin is an excellent cook, but he spent a lot of effort to trick him into inviting him down.
Chang Yin took a suspicious look and said, "You took me around the mountains for ten days. Could it be intentional?"
"Haha, how is that possible? I really can't tell the difference between east, west and north." Shouzheng explained quickly.
Of course he could tell the difference clearly at first, but now after wandering around for more than ten days, he really didn't know where he was going. But it's not a big problem. After disappearing for half a month, the elders should use magic to lure them back.
After saying that, Shouzheng began to prepare hard, collecting firewood and water, using the magic sword that sharpens iron like clay to break stones to make pots and bowls, cleaning the ingredients, etc.
As for Chang Yin, he meditates and regulates his breathing. This is the status of top chef in Shushan!
Half an hour later, a burst of fragrance spread.
"Suck it, it smells so good!"
"Meow meow!" A little yellow cat appeared instantly, lying directly in front of the pot, stretching out its paws and getting ready to eat.
"Hey, where did this kitten come from? Let's go and drink milk from you." Shouzheng directly pulled the little yellow cat's paws away.
The little yellow cat was furious, grinning, baring its teeth, and raising its paws.
"Meow wow!"
"Hey, you still dare to show your teeth to this Sword Immortal? Be careful. I'll catch a snake later and clean you up. Then I'll ask senior brother Chang Yin to cook me a dragon-tiger fight. Tsk, tsk, suck!" Shouzheng laughed. .
It's just a kitten, but with his fifth level of Qi training, he can be destroyed with a snap of his finger.
Miao Le:? ? ?
Want to eat cats? You have a way to die!
"Roar!"
A normal punch, unlimited combos!
"Snap, snap, snap!"
Shouzheng's vision went dark, and then he felt pain all over his body at the same time.
"Ah! Senior brother Chang Yin, help me!"
Chang Yin frowned.
This cat is extremely fast, and there is no trace of demonic aura in its body. It doesn't even react at all to Shushan's special demon-pointing compass. There are only two situations, first: this is a fairy beast, second: this monster is much stronger than the two of them.
"Qiang!"
Draw your sword!
No matter what the situation, he would not allow his junior brother to be bullied.
"Monster, let go of my junior brother!" Chang Yin shouted and rushed forward.
"Dang, clang, bang, bang, bang, thump, ah!"
Half an hour later.
The two senior brothers with bruised noses and faces were sitting next to the stone pot, watching helplessly as the little yellow cat drank the last mouthful of soup, not even leaving any of the bottom of the pot for them.
"Suck~"
After eating and drinking, the little yellow cat jumped on Chang Yin's shoulder and asked enthusiastically.
"Meow?"
[Are you my shit-sweeper? 】
Chang Yin was surprised: "Can you speak?"
Any monster that can refine cross bones and speak is basically a thousand-year-old monster. It seems that their brothers are in bad luck today.
"Senior brother, what are you talking about?" Shouzheng was a little confused.
"Can't you hear this cat talking?" Chang Yin wondered.
"No."
Chang Yin was startled and turned to look at the little yellow cat on his shoulder, who was already dazed and ready to rest. At first glance, this small figure looked like a cub, and then my heart moved.
The mythical beast recognizes its master!
Having read a lot of books in Shushan, he naturally knows a lot of anecdotes about the world of immortality. Among them, those extraordinary people who have ascended to the world of gods have basically had many adventures.
As for the strange encounters with strange beasts, he only remembered one. Three hundred years ago, a Taoist priest named Gu Liufang married a descendant of Nuwa. In a short period of time, his cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds.
Of course, the union between a human and a male is not tolerated by heaven, and it ended in death.
And this kitten could easily defeat the two of them at a young age. It was invulnerable to water, fire, and swords, and at least it had foundation-building combat capabilities. Moreover, there is no demonic aura about it, so it may be a legendary beast.
The most important thing is that this cat is male! Don't be afraid of being gossiped about. If he is subdued, wouldn't it be a great help when he becomes a disciple in the future and goes out to slay demons?
Of course, human beings and demons have different paths. According to Shushan's observation, demonic aura and popularity are naturally opposed. Even if some demons are not malicious at all and stay with people for a long time, the demonic aura will invade the body and damage the essence.
Therefore, we must first determine whether the cat is a fairy beast or a demon beast. If it does not eat blood, it swallows the essence of the sun and moon, and the aura of heaven and earth, it is a fairy beast.
Then, look carefully and feel.
This cat is no more than the size of a palm, young and delicate, with golden body and soft hair. Its blue, gem-like eyes are drowsily opening and closing as if it is dozing off. Its facial features are delicate and cute, and its little tail swings around easily. It is very cute. happy.
No matter how you look at it, it is a kitten.
It is recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas·Xishan Jing": "There is a beast in Yiwang Mountain. It looks like a raccoon, with one eye and three tails. It is called 虙 [huān]. Its sound is like a hundred sounds. It can ward off evil. It can be subdued." hate."
"The Book of Mountains and Seas·Zhongshan Jing" records: "Forty miles to the north, there is Huoshan Mountain, with many trees (gǔ). There is a beast, which looks like a raccoon, and has a white tail with a hyena [liè], and its name is "朏朏" 【pèi】"Nursing it can relieve worries."
Without the three tails, what would it be like? And with such a big body and such strength, the bloodline must be strong. If he is well trained, he may be like the water spirit beast of Nanzhao Kingdom, tamed by the Nuwa clan and protect Nanzhao for hundreds of years.
But what if there is a scam?
Demons are cunning and treacherous. Over the years, I don’t know how many methods they have used to deal with Shushan disciples like them, forcing and seducing them in order to release the Demon Emperor from the Demon Locking Tower and cause harm to the world.
Forget it, take it back and show it to the leader!
No matter what, no matter what kind of monster it is, as long as it is brought back to Shushan, there will be no way to hide it in front of the omnipotent leader.
At that time, if there is fraud, just lock the cat in the Demon Locking Tower. No matter how powerful he is, can he still do whatever he wants in the Demon Locking Tower and in front of the Demon Transformation Water like he did against them?
Haha, impossible!
…
Five days later, Chang Yin and Shouzheng had obviously lost weight. Anyone who spent six hours a day looking for food, making delicious food, and then watching the cat arrogantly finish the food would lose weight.
Fortunately, the two of them are Qi practitioners. They were adopted by Shushan when they were young. Before they learned to walk, they first learned to practice Qi. During the cold and summer, they never slackened off for more than ten years.
Hard work pays off, this advanced level of Qi training can make them hungry for many more days.
Not a big problem.
"Dong dong~"
The jade talisman around Chang Yin's waist suddenly began to tremble.
Seeing the little yellow cat sleeping soundly on his shoulder, Chang Yin knew that as long as the cub was asleep, let alone talking, even if lightning struck his face, it would have no effect.
Picking up the jade talisman with his left hand, Chang Yin muttered words while drawing the talisman in his right hand.
"The reason why heaven and earth can last forever is because they do not generate themselves, so they can live forever."
After a while.
The brilliance on the jade talisman circulated, and a void mirror gradually appeared. Opposite it was the senior brother of the Shushan Sect: Xu Changqing.
"Junior brother, where are you? Do you need me to report to the leader and apply for assistance?" The senior brother's expression was indifferent, but his tone was full of concern.
The elders all said that the eldest brother was born with the seed of Taoism, his temperament was in line with the way of heaven, his Taoism was natural, and he had the appearance of becoming an immortal.
Chang Yin quickly said: "Senior Brother, we are lost now. Please use the jade talisman to help us find the way. Moreover, Junior Brother Shouzheng and I picked up a cub in the mountains. Its strength is unpredictable. I hope you can ask the leader to come out. Check to see if you are qualified to become a beast master."
"good!"
After a moment, Xu Changqing's image disappeared, and two points appeared in the void, one was their location, and the other was the location of Shushan.
As for the route, it didn't matter. They were cultivators of immortality. Although they had not yet reached the foundation-building stage and could fly with swords for a long time, it was trivial to cross the river with light skills like those in the martial arts world.
Shushan, we are back!
…
Shushan Sword Sect, Taiqing Palace.
At the door, the headmaster Qingwei, with white hair and a childlike face, an immortal spirit, stood quietly at the door holding a floating dust in his hand.
More than twenty years ago, the Demon King led the Demon Realm to attack the human world. Shushan was the first to bear the brunt, and almost all of his disciples were killed or injured. Nowadays, this new generation of disciples has almost been watched by their five senior brothers, so they naturally take it seriously.
Chang Yin was dressed in white and greeted him respectfully.
"Introductory disciple of Shushan, Chang Yin, pays homage to the leader."
Qingwei held her long beard in her hand, smiled and nodded: "Get up, this time you have completed your experience down the mountain, you have completed your merits, and then you can practice with peace of mind and prepare to break through and build the foundation.
After building the foundation, it is the beginning of our cultivation. "
"Yes, Master."
Then Qingwei curiously looked at the little yellow cat on Chang Yin's shoulder. As a strange beast, this little guy came to the Shushan Sword Sect, which is famous for exterminating demons, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he looked around curiously.
There is no fear in the big blue eyes.
Qingwei laughed.
It can only be said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
"Master, can you tell what kind of cub this is? This little guy is greedy and playful, has amazing strength, and is invulnerable to swords. The juniors who came to tease the cat during the climb just now were all beaten.
Fortunately, his attack was serious, and everyone should be able to recover in an hour or two. Chang Yin asked for advice.
Qingwei frowned and looked carefully, her eyes flashing from time to time.
More than ten years ago, the Heavenly Demon Emperor attacked the human world, and Shushan was about to be exterminated. Their five brothers had no choice but to practice the forbidden book of Shushan: the Supreme Purity Technique. In a short period of time, his cultivation level increased a thousand times, and then he defeated the Heavenly Demon Emperor and imprisoned him in the Demon Locking Tower.
And the five of them have now become the strongest elders in Shushan's recorded history.
But with his current level of cultivation, he was completely unable to see through the origin, level, and identity of this cat. However, after practicing the art of purification, my mind becomes clear, without any distracting thoughts, and I have a sense of perception that far exceeds that of ordinary people.
The Way of Heaven.
In his mind, this cat would be of great benefit to Shushan.
for a long time.
"Master?" Chang Yin was a little confused.
"Haha, since you want to adopt it, then adopt it. I, Shushan, will not be short of food for a spiritual beast." Qing said with a smile.
"But, Master, this kitten is so powerful at such a young age. It may belong to the royal family of monsters. If it grows up in the future, it may become a serious problem for our human race." Chang Yin was a little embarrassed.
This cat is so powerful, and it beat the junior brothers all over the ground. It is indeed handsome when you take it out, but you are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
Qingwei flicked the fly whisk, shook her head, and turned around.
"Everything carries yin and embraces yang, injects qi into harmony, knows its maleness, guards its femaleness, lives in a good place, has a good heart, and is kind and benevolent. You idiot!"
Chang Yin scratched his head, grabbed the two front legs of the little yellow cat, raised them in front of his eyes, and looked at each other.
The little yellow cat blinked its big blue eyes, stretched out its pink tongue and rolled it around its mouth: "Meow~"
【Is the meal ready? 】
Chang Yin:.
He suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
