At night, the mountains and forests are quiet.
Chu Liang was walking alone on the path in the suburbs.
Dongshan is not big, but the mountain is very steep, and there are few people there usually. The night wind was rustling and solemn, and there was moisture in the wind. It might be that a mountain rain was about to come.
He was holding the jade talisman in his hand. There was a red cinnabar light on the jade talisman to guide the direction, and the approximate direction and distance could be seen. Unless someone with great power erases the walking spell on Mrs. Ming, she will not be able to escape the lock of the jade talisman.
Moving forward carefully, when the moon was high in the sky, Chu Liang came to a hidden cave.
This place was hidden behind a steep cliff in the forest. If it weren't for the jade talisman that guided him, he would have been unlikely to see it. It's no wonder that the Ming officers searched for it to no avail.
Now that he had found Mrs. Ming's whereabouts, he felt relieved and jumped up and down before arriving at the door of the cave.
Out of politeness, he didn't just break in, but knocked on the door.
Bang bang bang.
Bang bang bang.
After knocking for a long time, there was a sound between a beast's roar and a yawn. Then the stone door was opened, and a huge cat head poked out.
"Who?"
This guy has a black-spotted cat head and a sleepy look on his face. The fur all over the body and the long tail are still there, but the body has transformed into a human form, and he is wearing coarse cloth clothes. At first glance, he looks like a little monster who has transformed into a human form and cannot take care of the head and tail.
So Chu Liang smiled and said: "I am a disciple of Shushan Sect. I am here to look for Mrs. Mingfu of Xingzhou City. Please inform me."
"Shu Mountain." The little demon turned around lazily, suddenly startled, and then raised his head sharply, "Shu Mountain?"
"Yes, Shushan." Chu Liang nodded.
"Oh my God!" The little demon screamed with a strange sound, and his whole body suddenly jumped ten feet high, and ran back as if fleeing for his life. Coming to the door! Meow!"
"Meow--", "Hey, hey, hey!", "Meow--"
The entire cave immediately resounded with meows one after another, and several monsters were awakened from their sleep.
The fear of these little mountain monsters is engraved in their bones.
Chu Liang politely blocked the entrance of the cave. After a long while, a tall, thin man with fluffy hair and head held high came out with a group of little demons. Judging from his appearance, he is quite similar to Mrs. Ming, so he is probably her brother.
There were about a dozen little demons behind him, most of them were incompletely transformed cat-headed bodies, and some were not even transformed at all, just a big cat lying there, with everything from orange to white to flowers.
"I am the demon king here, the Cat King." The demon king stared at Chu Liang, "Why did you visit my cave in the middle of the night?"
"I'm sorry to disturb you." Chu Liang said, "There is just a lady from the Ming Dynasty in Xingzhou City who was granted a seal by me in Shushan, but she has disappeared recently. I was entrusted by someone to look for her."
"Mrs. Ming and Mrs. Dark, we don't know!" King Cat said in a bad tone.
"Well..." Chu Liang still maintained a friendly tone, "To be honest, my sect has a spell to track her, which shows that she is here."
"Then maybe your spell is wrong..." King Cat frowned, "Let me tell you, our cave is full of good monsters who don't do evil things, but if you insist on looking for trouble in the middle of the night, I’m not afraid of you!”
"I'm not here to cause trouble, but if it's convenient... can you let me go in and search?" Chu Liang asked.
"It's inconvenient!" King Cat refused mercilessly.
Chu Liang smiled: "That's it..."
…
"Help, help... help... no, young hero, spare your life!"
After a while.
King Cat, who was entangled on the ground by the demon-binding rope in a classic tortoise-shell binding, issued a desperate cry for help.
As a heroic demon who grew up in the mountains, he felt that there was nothing terrible about being captured and nothing terrible about being killed. If you want him to beg for mercy, that's just a dream!
But being tied up in this position in front of more than a dozen of his subordinates scared him to death!
If word of what happened today spreads out, the Cat King will no longer have to hang out in every corner of the country!
"Then I still have the same problem. Can you please let me find Mrs. Ming?" Chu Liang still asked politely.
"Take the young hero to see my little sister quickly!" King Cat roared.
The surrounding little demons, who were timid and afraid to step forward, immediately led Chu Liang into the cave and walked around to a grotto inside.
When Chu Liang entered the house, he didn't forget to drag King Cat along with him.
When he opened the door, he saw Mrs. Ming who was also tied up with a rope. Of course, the method was not as professional as the demon-binding rope, it was just a rough restriction of movement.
"Young Master Chu?" Mrs. Ming's eyes immediately lit up when she saw Chu Liang.
"Alas!" King Cat sighed heavily.
"I heard from Ming that you were going home to visit your parents and brothers. What's going on?" Chu Liang asked while asking the little demon to untie Mrs. Ming.
"Come to think of it..." Mrs. Ming glanced at King Cat with a sad expression.
"Our family was originally a little bobcat living here on Dongshan Mountain. We never fought or harmed anyone, and lived a carefree life." Mrs. Ming said slowly, "But I came back here the day before yesterday. , only to find that both my parents have passed away, but my brother... opened a cave and became the king of the mountain. "
"When I came back, I met the demon king from another mountain who came here as a guest. When the tiger king saw me, he insisted on marrying me..."
"I refused to obey, so my elder brother tied me here."
"Hey." Chu Liang looked at the Cat King, "So you are this kind of brother."
"I'm not!" King Cat said angrily: "You don't understand anything at all!"
He turned to look at Mrs. Ming and said, "Didn't I tell you how my parents died? In recent years, there have been more and more foreign monsters. Dongshan is only so big. We have to fight for land and food, but we don't have to fight for food." If you dare to go to the human city, you can only rob it! They all died in the fight with other monsters."
"Do you think I want to be the king of the mountain? I took in all the stray cats and built this cave so that the cats in Dongshan could have a place to stand!"
Speaking of his grief and anger, King Cat burst into tears, "I think back then, my cave had just opened, and there were only a dozen monsters and seven or eight weapons..."
"I have worked hard over the years to barely survive here. Until a few days ago, I met the Tiger King of Zanglin Mountain. His moral character and power are much higher than mine, and he is also willing to make friends with his fellow tribesmen. I thought if I could make friends with him, Okay, then we no longer have to worry about other monsters competing for territory in Dongshan. That’s why I bothered to make friends with him and invited him to have a banquet in the cave."
"Who would have known...who would have known that my little sister would come back at this time."
"The Tiger King is the most lecherous. He fell in love with my little sister's beauty at a glance. He immediately said that as long as I marry my little sister to him, he can protect our Dongshan Cat Clan forever. If he doesn't agree, then...then he will probably They are going to attack us!" King Cat said helplessly.
"But you didn't explain that your little sister already has a husband?" Chu Liang asked.
"Of course I said so!" King Cat nodded heavily.
"What about him?" Chu Liang asked again.
Just listen to King Cat say: "He is even more excited."
