Shanghai. In an ordinary seaside villa.

Since that night, the black cat and Liu Nansheng teamed up to repel the great protector of the Lich Clan, Wu Li, these two people have also suffered a lot of vitality, with the Jin Mao Building as the center, and the area around the Lu family beak is also a mess that has been destroyed. Black Cat and Liu Nansheng hid in this villa.

This is a villa area, by the sea, with a nice view. The black cat had already reverted to its cat, lounging on the soft sofa in the bright and spacious living room, squinting and looking out through the floor-to-ceiling glass—a few deciduous shrubs stood in the herbaceous courtyard, and the walls were covered with climbing plants, which had lost their leaves due to the colder weather in winter, leaving only the dry yellow stems and branches. Farther away from the courtyard, you can see the endless East China Sea in the distance, and the end of the sea is connected to the sky.

Liu Nansheng walked from another room to the living room, sat down on the sofa opposite the black cat, picked up the coffee from the small table next to him and took a sip gently, he frowned, feeling a little cold.

"Why don't you clean those up and look messy. The black cat changed into a comfortable position.

"What?" Liu Nansheng put down his coffee, puzzled.

"Those dead grass in the yard. The black cat raised its head into the yard.

"Uh...... Maybe I can't bear it. Liu Nansheng smiled self-deprecatingly.

"What's so unbearable about this?"

"Maybe it's because I'm a tree too. Although I have long forgotten the feeling of being rooted in the soil, when I touch those plants, whether they are alive or withered, I always seem to have a vague sense of their will transmitted to my mind through my body. ”

"You sense they don't want to be cleaned up?"

"The same cannot be said of their intentions, their intentions are not so clear. Or maybe I was wishful thinking that they wanted to stay like that, so I let them do that. Anyway, the next year the tree will regenerate young leaves, and the dried grass vine will sprout new shoots in its original place. That's nature. Liu Nansheng's eyes looked at the withered grass and vines in the courtyard through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass, and his face showed a trace of kindness.

"......" the black cat shrugged, not quite understanding.

"Do you have similar feelings when you meet other cats of the same kind?" Liu Nansheng retracted his gaze and looked at the black cat with a smile: "Other cats, can you receive the thoughts they want to express?"

"Even if cats don't cultivate to refinement, they still have clear thoughts and can communicate with each other. "The black cat feels that this question is not very level.

Liu Nansheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted again, his old face turned red, and he nodded: "Indeed." ”

"Some cats are very special and very noticeable, and once you meet them, they are embarrassed to let them be so ordinary. As the black cat said this, he remembered an orange cat that he had met in the firewood pile behind the house of a farmhouse more than a hundred years ago.

At that time, the black cat just wandered around with nothing to do, catching a few fish in the pond at the edge of the village in the countryside, lying on the treetops and watching the village children chase and play, and when he was tired, he lay down on the treetops to sleep. One day it passed by the roof of a farmhouse bungalow, landed on the firewood pile behind the yard, heard a violent cat meow under the firewood, the black cat's ears twitched, followed the sound and looked down, and a big orange cat covered with grass clippings and soil ash came out of the nest under the wood.

Is this a pig? The black cat stared at the big orange cat's fat, ball-like body.

"Meow~" The big orange cat raised his head and said unhappily to the black cat, as if he was disturbed to sleep.

The black cat glanced at it, ignored its thoughts, and meowed back, apologized to it, and turned around to leave, but the big orange cat was very athletic, jumped on the pyre, stood in front of the black cat, and stared at it with anger, as if he was going to fight with it.

The black cat raised its paws, wanting to teach the fat man who didn't know whether to live or die a lesson, but the fat man suddenly put away his anger, approached the black cat half a step, sniffed his nose, changed his kind face, meowed softly, and circled around the black cat.

What are you going to do?, the black cat asked it.

The big orange cat didn't answer. Since then, wherever the black cat goes, the orange cat has followed.

The black cat has been practicing for more than five hundred years, and has never encountered such a situation, the other people of the same kind are stupid, if the black cat does not deliberately release a powerful aura, those stupid people don't know how powerful it is. But the big orange cat seemed to sense the special nature of the black cat, and entangled it, taking one step at a time.

The black cat secretly thought that this might be the fate of the legend, and it was also an encounter with the orange cat, so he decided to be the little brother of the orange cat and instructed him to practice.

Later, after this orange cat brother became a sperm, he always felt that the only heroes in the world were the boss and orange ears. The black cat is the first in the world, it is the second in the world, and no one is afraid of it. This caused a lot of trouble, and almost lost his life a few times.

Later, the orange cat finally reined in these bad barbaric acts, and the black cat let him go with confidence. Since then, the two of them have rarely been in touch unless they have important matters.

However, what the black cat will never know is that the orange cat pestered it that day, not because of his talent and feeling that the black cat was special, but because the black cat had just finished eating fish at that time, and there was still a faint fishy smell in his mouth. The orange cat, a gluttonous product, couldn't walk when he smelled fishy, and at that time, he followed the black cat just because he thought that he could eat with the mixed fish, and who knew that he would be led on the path of cultivation.

Liu Nansheng looked at the black cat and fell into memories, the corners of his mouth were unconsciously upturned for the black cat, and he guessed in his heart that it must have remembered some interesting past. sighed for no reason: as cultivators, they have a long lifespan, if nothing else, each youkai will experience hundreds of years, and there are too many stories during this period, and there are always one or two things that will be remembered forever and become memories that are difficult to remember.

The black cat was called back by Liu Nansheng's sigh, and it shook its body and stretched its waist.

Liu Nansheng has abundant financial resources, all kinds of rare genius treasures, elixirs or something, as long as there are heaven and earth, it can be collected for you. In the past few days, Liu Nansheng and the black cat have eaten all kinds of great tonic medicines as meals, and after eating, they just sit and wait for digestion. I don't know how to eat a few villas in the past few days, but I finally made up for some vitality.

The black cat silently ran the thunder spell in his body, and it felt good, those magic pills were really not in vain, and he had recovered to this level in just a few days, and he was not injured in that battle, but his true qi was lost a lot, and it was easier to recover.

The black cat suddenly said, "I have to go back." A few days ago, I made an appointment with Xu Guan to meet in Shanggu. ”

Black Cat and Liu Nansheng have also chatted a lot these days, so Liu Nansheng also knows that Xu Guan was a night watchman four hundred years ago. It said, "Maybe you won't find him in the upper valley." ”

"Why?" the black cat looked puzzled.

"The day before yesterday, an eyeliner reported to me that three days ago, the two great witches of the Lich Clan, Wu Zong and Wu Heng, killed from Changshan in the direction of the imperial capital, and promised to kill the current night watchman Ouyang Qi, and killed many innkeepers on the way. When he walked to Wangdu, he confronted Ouyang Qi who was stopped there, and the two sides fought fiercely, Ouyang Qi was seriously injured and was rescued, and Wu Zongwu continued to go north. While they were fighting fiercely, Kamiya City was also attacked by the Lich, and the fight was quite fierce. "Liu Nansheng's strong financial resources support a strong intelligence network, although it is not as good as the inn to monitor Kyushu, but it can also capture a little bit of movement in the night world in time. "Anyway, the final result is that Wu Zongwu has broken through the interception of the night watch and the iron guard, and continues to walk towards the imperial capital. The surviving guards of the Shanggu City Inn Branch, together with Ouyang Qi and your little brother Orange Cat, retreated to Yannan City. ”

"What about Xu Guan?" the black cat was a little difficult to accept. If Xu Guan had really recovered his full strength, the two Great Witches should not be his opponents. But why didn't he show up in this battle? Is it because his strength has not recovered and he can't come out, or has he not been able to return to Shanggu as promised?

"I don't know. Liu Nansheng shook his head: "I don't know if this night watchman four hundred years ago is too low-key, or his whereabouts are too mysterious." In short, the spies found no trace of him. I just saw him in the imperial capital, and there was no news after the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. His whereabouts could not be found. ”

The black cat nodded, lost in thought. After pausing for a while, he said, "Then I'll go to Yannan City first and ask the little fat man if he knows what's going on." ”

"Good. Be careful on your way. "Liu Nansheng did not politely stay, now that the situation is tense, it is best to act as soon as possible.

"Hmm. The black cat said to go, it stood up, Liu Nansheng pushed open the glass door to the courtyard for it, it walked out of the yard, jumped on the wall, jumped a few times, and disappeared into the villa group.

Liu Nansheng returned to the living room, picked up the cup of coffee that had been cooled, and took a sip, feeling a little bitter.

It can't move yet, it's waiting for all the forces it can muster to arrive. As early as just after that night, it ordered someone to secretly pass on the news, and those cultivators, monks, or martial arts masters under its banner would be notified, and after finishing the matter at hand, they would immediately rush to Shencheng, listen to Liu Nansheng's arrangement, and prepare to start acting.

It's just that not all cultivators and cultivators are like Liu Nansheng, keeping up with the pace of the times. In fact, a large number of them are relatively outdated, they do not have mobile phones, do not have modern contact information, and do not even know the current coins, it is very difficult to contact them, and it takes a lot of trouble to find them, so Liu Nansheng had to wait patiently for some days to collect all the manpower.

PS: I want to say something, but I don't know what to say,,, I wish you all a happy weekend.
