Volume 2 Breaking into the Emperor's Capital and Dancing the Demons Chapter 106 Preparing for War (4)

Yingcang took the orange cat to Yuqing Palace again, held the big fat cat in his arms, and walked straight into the corridor of the palace, looking around.

The weather is getting colder day by day, people are going out less and less, and the tourists who come to Yuqing Palace are becoming scarcer and rarer, plus it is already evening at this time, and the palace is even more deserted. Last time, Ying Cang met three or five groups of people here, but today he can't see an outsider.

Ying Cang hugged the orange cat and went around the palace for a long time, Rao is his physical strength is good, but holding such a big lump of pork belly as the orange cat is also so tired that his arms are sore. What's even more disappointing is that I haven't met a figure until now, and even the Taoist priest is gone.

Ying Cangzheng wondered, and inadvertently saw curling smoke coming out of the kitchen behind him, and there must be someone cooking on the fire, so he walked quickly in the direction of the smoke with the orange cat in his arms.

After arriving, he happened to see a middle-aged Taoist come out of the door and splash a basin of water outside, Yingcang hurriedly stopped him and asked him if he knew where Zhang Danyun Xiaodao was.

The middle-aged Taoist replied to him and pointed to the side hall not far away.

After Ying Cang thanked him, he walked to the side hall with the orange cat in his arms, walked through the corridor, and knocked lightly at the door, but after more than ten seconds, the door was opened, Zhang Danyun probed his head out, and when he saw the orange cat in Ying Cang's arms, he was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Master Cat?" followed by the reaction, coughed, and said solemnly: "Huang Jushi, long time no see." Hello Yingjushi. ”

"Huh?" Ying Cang was a little surprised, could it be that the two of them knew each other? This little Taoist priest's attitude today seems to be different from the last time he treated him.

The orange cat smiled, very satisfied with Yingcang's reaction, and felt that he had a lot of face.

Before the two of them could speak, a middle-aged man's voice came from inside the room: "Danyun, who knocked on the door." But ......" In the middle of speaking, an old man's voice suddenly sounded, with surprise and vigilance: "It's demonic!?"

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Zhang Danyun to react, he was immediately dragged back into the house without any backhand, and at the same time a long sword flew out, and the cold light flickered, stabbing the orange cat in Yingcang's arms.

Ying Cang only had time to show a shocked face, and he didn't have time to react at all, the tip of the sword had already come to a foot in front of him, and the next moment it stabbed into the body of the orange cat!

The orange cat was in Yingcang's arms, and a little cold star was reflected in the dilated pupils in an instant, and with a lift of the tail, a condensed force burst out from the tip of the tail, like an air bullet fired at high speed, knocking the flying long sword away, and the sword turned around and drilled back into the house.

"Senior brothers, slow down!" After a lightning-like move, Zhang Danyun reacted and hurriedly shouted.

At this time, Ying Cang had already taken a few steps back with a solemn face and stood in the open space in the courtyard. The people in the room ignored Zhang Danyun, and quickly walked out of the three Taoists, and Zhang Danyun also came out with a frightened expression on his face.

One of the three Daoists was about sixty or seventy years old, probably the old man who had just shouted 'It's demonic energy', probably because of the relationship between cultivating the Dao, his face looked younger than his actual age, and his spirit was also very good.

The second is a Taoist man in his fifties, holding a long sword in his hand, and the sword body is the long sword that has just flown out. He had a thin face, bulging cheekbones, and looked at Yingcang and the orange cat in his arms with a strange face.

The third Taoist was in his forties, looking to be in his early thirties, and he was holding a yellow Dao talisman in his hand.

"It turned out to be you, the cat. The eldest Daoist spoke, his vigilant expression softened. He can detect the aura of the monster, but he can't accurately tell what kind of monster it is, which is normal, even if two monsters meet, just by the faint demonic aura sensed through a door, he may not be able to accurately detect what kind of monster the other party is.

"You kids are getting more and more reckless. The orange cat said in the tone of an elder. This problem of pretending to be a problem can't be changed. Although it is indeed much older than these three Taoists, it is on other people's territory, and it is really not young, and it is always a little shameless to be taught by a cat.

"What are you doing here?" the thin Taoist man with a long sword in his hand protected Zhang Danyun behind him and asked with an unkind face. He had always had no good impression of alien cultivators.

"Yesterday my friend at the inn had something important to discuss with you, but you all avoided it. I had no choice but to come here myself. "The orange cat made a gesture that he didn't want to come.

"Friends of the inn?" the three Taoists all focused their eyes on Ying Cang's body. Zhang Danyun hadn't heard of the inn, but these three Taoists knew it, and they also had a certain understanding of the night world, so when they heard that the people from the inn were coming, their expressions finally became official.

"Danyun. Can there be such a thing?" the oldest Daoist glanced back at Zhang Danyun.

"It is true. Zhang Danyun was resigned, he didn't expect the identity of the person he stopped yesterday to be so important.

"Forget it. The little Taoist priest has little knowledge and is not sensible, so we don't care. The orange cat said: "The people at the inn really have something to discuss with you." ”

Ying Cang hurriedly cooperated and hugged his fists towards the three Taoists.

The orange cat continued, "I'll introduce you to it. The one holding me is the Xuanzi Iron Guard Yingcang of the inn, although he only has the Xuanzi level, but his talent is extremely high, and it is quite possible to upgrade to the Tianzi level within fifty years. The orange cat was afraid that the other party would despise Yingcang's low level, so he blew him, although it was too obvious and exaggerated. Then he introduced the Taoist opposite to Ying Cang: "The oldest old Taoist is the eldest disciple of Fengchen Zhenren, Mu Feng, the one holding the long sword is the second disciple Yang Yu, the one holding the talisman in his hand is the third disciple Lin Yao, and the little Taoist who is hiding behind them is the youngest junior, called Zhang Danyun." ”

"I've seen real people. Ying Cang learned Taoist etiquette and looked at the four people opposite. The four people on the other side also returned the salute politely, which can be regarded as eliminating hostility.

The orange cat was very satisfied with the effect of his mediation, and his eyes swept the four people on the opposite side casually, and suddenly stared at Lin Yao, the third disciple who was pinching the talisman, and suddenly remembered that not long ago, he also met a loose cultivator who used the talisman, and it was Xu Guan who was rescued from this casual cultivator and another person. The orange cat muttered in his heart: What is the connection between Lin Yao and that person? Then he shook his head again, there are more people who can use talismans, how can it be so coincidental.

Mu Feng let everyone into the house, and after the orange cat and hid in, he realized that these Taoist priests were just reciting the evening scriptures.

The Orange Cat's mission has been completed, and it is up to Yingcang and the Taoist priests to negotiate cooperation against the surrounding lich. It waited on the cushion next to it, Zhang Danyun listened to the conversation between the three senior brothers and Ying Cang for a while, and felt so boring, and he couldn't help much, so he simply came to the orange cat to chat with him.

"Master Cat, I haven't seen you for a month, why are you injured?" Zhang Danyun sat on the cushion next to the orange cat, and saw that a large piece of hair was missing from the shoulder blade of one of its forelimbs, revealing flesh and blood that had not yet healed: "It's still so badly injured." ”

"I was attacked by a lich. The orange cat replied casually, her eyes rolled, and she thought of deceiving the child: "That's a fox spirit who has been practicing for five hundred years, she turned into a big beauty and approached me, seeing that I was handsome, and wanted to tie me up and marry her, I resolutely refused, she was angry and took advantage of my unpreparedness to sneak attack me." Even though I was badly wounded by her, I fought her for three hundred rounds and knocked her back. ”

"It's dangerous, it's dangerous. Zhang Danyun looked impressed, took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, took out one of the only three pills in it, and gave it to the orange cat: "Master Mao, this medicine was given to me by the master, saying that it can save my life at a critical moment." I'll give you one. ”

"So amazing?" The orange cat moved its fat body, leaned into Zhang Danyun's hand, and sniffed the pill in his palm: "Is it delicious?" Stuck out his tongue and licked it, put it into his mouth, and simply chewed it twice and swallowed it. The taste is not bad, the orange cat nodded with satisfaction, feeling warm in the stomach, and after a while, the whole internal organs became warm, very comfortable.

"Can you give me another one?" asked the orange cat, cheekily, tasting the sweetness.

"This," Zhang Danyun showed a reluctant expression, but he didn't have the courage to refuse, and he twisted for a while.

Out of the corner of the orange cat's eyes, Yang Yu, who caught a glimpse of the horizontal sword on his knee, glared at him, his old face turned red, and he changed his words: "Forget it." I'll eat one first. ”

"Uh-huh. Zhang Danyun breathed a sigh of relief. 、

The three Taoist priests were very cooperative, after all, everyone was centered on maintaining comfort and protecting ordinary people, so they quickly completed the discussion and reached an agreement.

Yingcang's task was also successfully completed, and the orange cat was about to leave, and it was also dinner time in the palace, the senior brother Mufeng politely said to leave them to eat, and Yingcang was not sure whether people really wanted to keep themselves for dinner, or to be polite to themselves, and was hesitating, and the orange cat refused for him.

Zhang Danyun really hoped that they could stay and eat, and he was a little disappointed when he heard the orange cat's refusal, but he still said gently: "Huang Jushi, stay and eat before leaving." It's delicious. ”

The orange cat's head shook like a rattle: "How delicious can vegetarian dishes be, I'd better go back and eat chicken legs." ”

As soon as these words came out, the angry three senior brothers glared at him and turned around and left: I don't like to eat or not, I still hate this and that!

Two of the five Taoist precepts are not to kill living beings and not to drink meat.

Because Taoists believe that all sentient beings, such as qi and wriggling, cannot be killed or injured.

Therefore, from abstaining from killing, it extends from abstaining from meat.

In addition, Taoists also believe that the human body has 'three corpses', which depend on grains and harm the human body. The three corpses are the upper corpse, the middle corpse, and the lower corpse, and the middle corpse among them is a good taste, greedy for food, and greedy for deliciousness.

Therefore, the Taoist will have the theory of cultivating the valley, to consume as little as possible the five grains, or even not to ingest, will not help to nourish the three corpses, and only then can it be regarded as the Tao.

So the diet is also light and small.

Such a meal is naturally impossible to satisfy the orange cat's appetite, and instead of staying here to make do with a clear soup, it is better to go back and nibble on two large chicken legs.

"Since Huang Jushi is insistent, Xiaodao is not forced to stay, so please take care of yourself. After Zhang Danyun finished speaking, he also went with the three senior brothers.

Ying Cang hugged the orange cat and walked out of the corridor, at this time the sky was dark, and the surrounding objects could only see a dark outline, and the four halls in the courtyard and the side hall next to it were lit up, and the red and yellow ground showed light.
