Yuqing Palace, located in the north of Yannan City, was built in the Han Dynasty, destroyed in the Song Dynasty, and rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty.

The whole palace is large-scale, and it is divided into four major halls, in order: Lingguan Palace, Wenchang Palace, Jade Emperor Hall and the main hall Sanqing Palace.

The main hall is magnificent, carved beams and painted buildings, bucket arches and cornices, with the hall is small and exquisite, Seiko is meticulous, the structure is rigorous, there are murals in the hall to record the Taoist stories and landscape characters.

The early morning sun shone on the courtyard wall of red bricks and green tiles, a thin young man in a Taoist uniform passed by in the corridor, suddenly felt that his shoulder was hit by something, and when he looked down, he saw a pine nut rolling down at his feet, the young man looked around, and saw a towering cypress not far away, there was an obese orange cat squatting on the branch of the tree, with a pine nut wrapped around its tail.

"Huang Jushi, long time no see. The thin boy saluted the orange cat.

The little Taoist priest was polite. The orange cat climbed down the trunk, walked into the cloister, and jumped on the railing.

"Why did Huang Jushi come here?" the young man asked.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, let's come and see the little Taoist. The orange cat laughed, an old monster two hundred years younger, asked a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy to help, and it couldn't wipe its face for a while.

"Huang Jushi has a heart. The young man quietly approached the orange cat and said softly, "Master Cat, are you sure it's okay?"

"Of course. The orange cat raised its hind paws and scratched its ears, and its body fell unsteadily, and the boy hurriedly caught it and held it in his arms with great difficulty.

"Master Cat, if you have nothing to do, go back. The young man's face was embarrassed.

"What's the matter, you're not welcome to the cat?" the orange cat was upset.

"The last time you came to me, I was scolded by the master, and I copied the Tao Te Ching five times, and this time the master found out again, so you have to beat me. The boy grimaced.

"I forgot that you were almost swallowed by the snake demon in Shanggu three years ago, and I saved you!"

When the young man's master was invited to the upper valley to pray for blessings, he took the young man with him, the Dharma platform was built high, and the old way was sprinkled in all directions, which alarmed an underground cultivation snake demon, which knew that it was not the opponent of the old way, and instead wanted to take revenge on the young man in the audience.

It happened that the orange cat was waiting for the ritual to be done and steal some tribute, so when the snake demon pounced on the young man, and the old way was beyond his reach, the orange cat shot out and beat the snake demon away, in order to save the young man's life.

"The life-saving grace of the cat master, Xiaodao will never forget, just. The young man was embarrassed: "My master said that he owed you a great favor that day, and at the same time, he also told me that my Dao practice is shallow, my Dao heart is not stable, and I can't deal with different cultivators, so if you have something, you should go directly to my master." ”

"You kid!" the orange cat jumped out of the boy's arms with a flick of all fours. "Your master is polite when he sees me. ”

"My master is polite to you, but not to me. The young man was very aggrieved: "Anyway, my master owes you a favor, why are you afraid that you won't be able to go directly to his old man?"

The orange cat won't tell him that the last time he pestered him to invite himself to a big meal, Lao Dao decided that he had paid off the favor, and the two would not owe each other in the future.

At the beginning, he swore that he owed a great favor, but he sent himself away after a meal, and the orange cat was so angry that he scratched the bark of the tree all night, and the old man was not kind.

"Zhang Danyun!" The orange cat puffed out his face and shouted: "Have you learned that Entu Bao has a saying to distinguish between right and wrong, and the grace of saving lives is a matter of a meal?"

"Master Cat, don't be angry, stop being angry. The young man hurriedly comforted him, for fear that the two of them would be too loud to attract the other senior brothers.

"Then you come with me. ”

"Where are we going?"

"Kamiya, there are people waiting for you to save your life. The orange cat told Zhang Danyun about Bojun's situation.

"I see. Zhang Danyun also knew that the situation was urgent.

"Can you save it?" asked the orange cat.

"Yes, yes, I have to get a few magic weapons. Zhang Danyun said: "You wait here, I'll come when I go." ”

"What if you don't come back?" the orange cat was not reassured.

"Human life is at stake, how can I play with me?" Zhang Danyun said solemnly.

"Okay, you go get it. After the orange cat finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Danyun's back and walked away, and quietly followed.

Zhang Danyun hurriedly walked all the way, went back to the room and took a yellow cloth bag, filled with cinnabar yellow charms and a few other things, and walked straight towards the main hall.

"What are you going to do?" the orange cat suddenly jumped in front of him.

Zhang Danyun was frightened and said, "I learned that Master will be when I go out this time." ”

"What are you wasting that time for, let's get back to it. The orange cat bit his robe and dragged it out.

"Don't worry, my master has always been merciful, and he knows that I am going to save people, and he will not stop me. Zhang Danyun comforted him and walked forward again.

Although he said that, if he let Lao Dao know that he actually asked his little apprentice for help, my orange cat is also a monster with a head and a face within a radius of eight hundred miles, and it is really unbearable to poke it out.

"Come back to me. The orange cat swayed its tail, "Wind winding!"

Zhang Danyun was swept up by a gust of wind and was terrified: "Let me down, I'm afraid of heights!"

"If you close your eyes, you won't be afraid. The orange cat jumped on the wall in two by three and brought Zhang Danyun with him.

"Master, help! Huang Jushi is here to snatch the child!! Zhang Danyun screamed and was taken away by the orange cat.

Lao Dao was still brushing his beard in the main hall while reading the scriptures, and it was not until noon that he found that the little apprentice was missing, so he immediately sent people to look around, and searched the entire Yuqing Palace but did not find it.

……

In the early morning when the orange cat kidnapped Zhang Danyun, Xiao Ai, who had stayed up all night in the ancient city, couldn't hold it anymore and went back to his residence to sleep. Xu Guan brought a basin of water, moistened the towel, took off Bojun's clothes to wipe his body, and after changing into new clothes, he also bathed and changed into clean clothes, according to the agreement with the orange cat, it should come back in about half a day.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, there was a knock on the door, Xu Guan was overjoyed, and was about to open the door, but was pulled by Bo Jun and glanced at him, Xu Guan asked at the door, "Who?"

There was no movement outside the door.

Bo Jun pointed to the cabinet next to him, Xu Guan opened the cabinet and saw a big black umbrella inside.

Xu Guan took it in his hand and looked at Bo Jun puzzled, Bo Jun first pointed to the umbrella, and then pointed to the top of his head, Xu Guan finally understood that this was an umbrella for shading.

The knock on the door rang again.

"Brother Wang, are you here?" said Bo Jun fraudulently.

The outsider deliberately lowered his voice: "Hmm." ”

"Wait, I'll open the door. Bo Jun coped with it in his mouth, and whispered in Xu Guan's ear: "You can get out by opening the window." ”

"How can I leave you here alone?" Xu Guan shook his head.

The door was suddenly kicked open, and the red-haired Ji Tian was in front, Yingcang and Jiang Ke were behind, and they attacked the two of them directly.

"Let's go!" Bo Jun raised his last strength, got up and pounced on Ji Day!

"Don't measure yourself!" the burly Ji Sun swung his iron fist and smashed it over. Bo Jun's body twisted away at a strange angle, his hands wrapped around his arms, and Ying Cang and Jiang Ke in the back also came to the front, each punching out, Xu Guan's figure flashed to Bo Jun's side, and his arms reached out, stopping the fists of the two.

"They won't kill me. As soon as Bo Jun's words fell, he was kicked by Ji Tian, his hand was loosened, his body fell out, and he fell to the ground and lost his ability to move.

Xu Guan pushed away Yingcang and Jiang Ke, and swept towards Ji Tian's door with his hand, Ji Tian leaned back to dodge, and Xu Guan bounced up and jumped back under his feet.

"You have more important things to do!" Bojun shouted as he lay on the ground.

Xu Guan struggled, picked up the black umbrella that fell on the side of the bed, and crashed out of the window.

"You two stay here to guard!" Ji Tian also jumped out of the window after shouting.

Ying Cang and Jiang Ke stood in the room and looked at each other, Jiang Ke shrugged his shoulders, sat on the chair next to him and lit another cigarette.

"When is it still pumping. Ying Cang looked displeased.

"It's okay, he won't be back for a while anyway. Jiang Ke held back for a long time, and finally Ji Tian was lured away to have a free time.

Ying Cang was helpless, turned his head and saw Bo Jun lying on the ground, stepped forward to block his movements, put him on the bed, and waited to deal with it later.

Bojun couldn't resist, so he had to let Yingcang dispose of it.

Ying Cang put down Bojun and sat on the chair: "Recently, it has become more and more unpeaceful, and there are accidents every once in a while." He recalled what happened during this time, and many places told the inn that there were many new faces in the local area for no reason, and the strength was not weak, which had some impact on the normal operation of the local area, so he asked the inn where they came from, and it was strange that the inn didn't know where these people came from.

"Maybe the Lich Clan is doing it again. Jiang Ke spat out smoke rings. In the entire Kyushu, except for the inn, that is, the Lich clan has the strength to dispatch a large number of good players at the same time.

"But he's a nightfish. ”

"It's not uncommon for the Lich to collude with other forces. Jiang Ke finished his cigarette and said: "You forgot the uproar in the Ming Dynasty, the lich teamed up with the Dianjiang faction and almost hammered the prince to death, the battle was dark, and so many decent people and the iron guards of our inn died, so they reluctantly beat the lich back, and even the Dianjiang faction was wiped out." ”

Ying Cang sighed: "Our inn has been fighting with the Lich Clan for more than a thousand years, generation after generation. Why bother. ”

Jiang Ke changed his hand to pick up a cigarette, approached Yingcang and whispered, "I think that rumor is true." ”

"What rumors?"

Jiang Ke continued: "Our inn has been practicing witchcraft since ancient times, and the lich clan is also witchcraft, in the final analysis, we are in the same vein as the lich, but why should we fry each other from the same root?" Jiang Ke continued in a lower voice: "It is rumored that the inn originally raised the divine beast to take back Jiuding, which caused the same vein over there to be dissatisfied, so he was embarrassed by the inn everywhere, and even planned to take away the divine beast and Jiuding. ”

"Are the brothers divided?" Ying Cang suddenly said.

"I think it's probably true. After all, the Divine Beast and Jiuding are quite precious. Jiang Ke nodded very seriously.

At the end of the ancient era, the inn enclosed all the mythical beasts and no longer let them appear in the eyes of later generations, and Jiuding was also at the end of the Warring States period, when the Zhou royal family was in decline, it was collected and recovered by the inn from Kyushu. The rulers of later generations took a fancy to the symbolism of Jiuding, so they looked for the missing Jiuding everywhere, and they naturally couldn't find it.

Ying Cang approached him even more mysteriously: "I also heard a rumor that the lich wants to become a god in the sky, so he wants to break into the Fengfu Jade Gate, climb the Spirit Mountain, and go to the upper realm. ”

"It's too empty. Jiang Ke himself didn't believe it: "It is said that the inn guards the entrance of Lingshan Fengfu Jade Gate, but even we have never seen it." ”
