Chapter XIX. Cats

No matter how Cheng Yubai shouted and apologized, the white-clothed monk did not appear again.

Cheng Yubai picked up his sword and turned to go down the mountain, the moment he stepped down the mountain, in an instant, the entire Shixue Peak began to tremble violently, a huge force rushed from the depths of the ground to ferment, everywhere the stone walls were collapsing, a huge pillar of fire, rushing into the sky, with the galloping roaring red magma and black-gray thick clouds, which were mixed with countless rock fragments, were sent high into the sky by huge power, and then splashed in all directions like bursting.

Cheng Yubai was dumbfounded: "Obediently, this won't be the power of my sword, this also has a timing function......"

...................

Seven days later, Cheng Yubai relied on his feet and returned to the sect, but saw that the original buildings and palaces were all in ruins, the charred beams and brackets collapsed, and even the bloody gas was evaporated.

The weeds grew wildly, and the ruins drifted green smoke, silent in the dawn light as if it had been sleeping for a thousand years.

Cheng Yubai sleepwalked to the ruins, squatted on the broken stone steps, hugged his head, and saw everything he saw along the way, he already had an ominous premonition, but until the last moment, not seeing it with his own eyes, he still had a trace of fantasy in his heart, but the reality was cruel.

The wind blowing from behind ...... seemed to be stronger, making a whistling sound, and the grass around him rose and fell with the wind, like waves. Ruins and broken walls, like silent but gentle people, staring at him, to the north, there is a ruin, even more dilapidated, that is where he once followed the senior brother to practice martial arts, from a distance, the outline still vaguely looks like the original appearance.

"Uncle Cheng......" A weak voice sounded behind Cheng Yubai, pulling the corners of his clothes, and looking at him timidly with dark eyes.

Cheng Yubai slowly raised his head, blinked his dry eyes, looked at the embarrassed girl like a beggar, and hesitated: "Cat? You....... What about your master? But he didn't know that he was not much better than a girl now.

It's okay not to ask, but as soon as she asked, the girl cried, Cheng Yubai coaxed for a long time before stopping, sobbing and choking: "Master, Master, he's gone......."

"The master finally managed to protect us from the fire, and suddenly a strange man came out with a big black sword on his shoulder, laughed, and pointed at me and said that it was nowhere to find the iron tower....... Then the master fought with him....... The strange man couldn't beat the master, so he grabbed other people to threaten the master, but the master was distracted and was hit....... The strange man was beaten away....... But everyone fell asleep....... Cat ....... I can't wake up no matter how much I scream. Master told me not to disturb them until they went to sleep, and said that he was also very tired and sleepy, and asked me to come back to Uncle Shi when the fire was out....... Uncle, the master vomited a lot of blood....... A lot of blood....... The master is gone....... "The cat is young, and under the emotion, she speaks incoherently and intermittently, but Cheng Yubai still understands.

"Cat, don't cry, don't think about it, it's all over......" Cheng Yubai hugged the cat, patted her back gently, and quietly wiped away his tears.

The cat hiccuped, a snot bubble came out of the small nose clip, and raised a crying little face: "Uncle, does Master think I'm too stupid and don't want me anymore?"

Cheng Yubai shook his head, picked up the cat's little face, and gently lost the tears on her face: "No, your master told your uncle that cats are the most well-behaved and smartest, he hurts, and the most spoiled is cats." He just...... Just ......."

"Uncle Shi, what's it?"

"It's just that he had to go to a very beautiful place, and he can't come back for the time being."

"Is that place really beautiful? Uncle Shi, have you been there too? “

"Yes, it's beautiful. Uncle Shi has also been there, and I have forgotten many of them, but I only remember that it is very beautiful, with large red flowers......"

The cat had red eyes, looked up at Cheng Yubai beside her, and pursed her mouth: "That place is very beautiful, so ...... Will he be reluctant to come back and forget about the cat? “

"Your master must be reluctant to forget the cute cat, one day he will come back, maybe when you grow up, he will come back."

"Really?"

"Really, Uncle Shi doesn't lie to you."

"It's been a long time before I grow up, and the cat is starting to think about the master now." Cheng Yubai was silent, hugged the cat on his lap, and hugged her tightly.

The cat was really like a cat, thinking that Cheng Yubai was hugging him too tightly and jumped out of his arms.

Cheng Yubai looked at the rejuvenated cat and reluctantly hooked his lips.

"Uncle Shi, what do you mean by revenge?"

"Hmm...... It's just that if a bad guy smashes and shatters the things you cherish in your heart, will you be very angry, very distressed, and want to fight that bad guy? “

"Yes!"

"That cat goes to fight the bad guys, it's called revenge, understand?"

"Uncle Shi, will you help the master take revenge?"

Cheng Yubai closed his eyes, opened his eyes after a while, and nodded solemnly: "Yes."

The cat turned around and hugged him, buried her little head in his arms, and said sullenly, "But...... The master said that he would not let you help him avenge him. “

"Senior brother, he ...... What else was said? “

"He said, let you take care of me, let you live well, there will be no Linkong Island in the future, so Uncle Shi, don't show off your three-legged cat's cultivation and make people laugh. Master also said that Uncle Shi is actually not suitable for cultivating immortals, and it is good to be a mortal in a plain way, and he and Master Ancestor should not lead you to this road because of their own selfishness. The cat lowered her head and pointed at each other, "I didn't say this, it was the master who said it." “

"Mao'er is right, you are indeed not suitable for the path of cultivating immortals."

"Senior ......"

The cat looked curiously at the white-clothed monk who suddenly appeared: "Big brother, you are so beautiful, like, just like those immortals flying around in the sky and don't have to land!"

Li Mu leaned down and picked up the cat: "You are also very beautiful, you are a little beauty, you will definitely become a big beauty when you grow up." However, the word pretty should not be used indiscriminately. “

"Why?"

Cheng Yubai restrained his emotions, smiled apologetically at Li Mu, took the cat, and nodded her little brain: "Silly cat, that's to describe a woman, senior, uh, it seems to be really ......"

The nose bridge of the person in front of him is high, the eyes are deep and bright, the sword eyebrows fly obliquely into the sideburns, the thin lips are lightly pursed, the face is like a crown of jade, the edges and corners are clear, the moon is white brocade clothes, the body is like a jade tree, and the black hair like satin is tied up with white silk, and when looking at them, there is a very shallow smile under the eyes, which can be said: the stone is like jade, and the pine is like emerald. Lang Yan is unique, and there is no other in the world.

Actually, it should be a gentle person, the cat is right, the predecessors are indeed very beautiful.

Under the puzzled eyes of the white-clothed monk, Cheng Yubai swallowed the two words that originally came to his mouth, and thought for a while before saying, "....... Like a man among the gods. “

"Big brother, why does Uncle Shi call you senior?"

Li Mu pretended to be puzzled and pondered for a while: "Probably, it's because I'm a little bit better than him."

"Then I'm better than him, right? Uncle Shi has just built the foundation, and I have already built the second layer of the foundation, shouldn't Uncle Shi also call me senior? “

"Ugh....... This seems to be true. After the white-clothed monk finished speaking, regardless of the young man's stunned expression, he turned around and motioned to the young man to deal with it himself, and he would not mix.

"Uncle Shi, did you hear that? Remember to call me senior in the future!"

Cheng Yubai touched his nose embarrassedly: "All of a sudden, I have one more senior, and now there are two seniors, cat, do you think when I call seniors, am I calling cats, or are I calling seniors?" I feel so embarrassed myself, I'm about to get dizzy! And ah, cat, don't you think it's better for Uncle Shi to call you a cat than to call you senior, senior? “

"It seems to be." The cat nodded thoughtfully, no longer insisting.

"Senpai?" Cheng Yubai smiled, took a few steps forward, and boldly poked the white-clothed monk who looked at the distance with his back.

"You're calling me?"

Cheng Yubai nodded.

"I also think cats are better."

"Senior, I've known each other for so long, don't you want to introduce yourself? Juniors can't always call you seniors, right? “

"My surname is Wenren, a single name, and the word Kunwu. Feel free to shout whatever you want. “

Cheng Yubai said in a low voice: "It turns out that [Kunwu] is the word of the predecessor, but how can this word be the same as the one on the jade pendant...... Hearing people, this surname is quite rare...... Uh, it's too impolite to shout directly, but shouting the words of seniors seems to be too intimate, why not add the word seniors after the surname? “

Cheng Yubai was entangled for a long time and didn't know what to call him, but the cat on the side directly called Brother Kunwu affectionately, and what was even more amazing was that the white-clothed monk also responded.

“?“

Cheng Yubai finally thought about what to shout, but he was dumbfounded when he heard the name of the cat, the cat called the senior brother, called himself the uncle, and called him the senior, this generation is a bit messy.

"Uncle Shi, we're leaving, Brother Kunwu said that it's not safe here, the island protection array has been broken, and this island will soon be attacked by sea beasts."

Cheng Yubai looked at the white-clothed monk suspiciously, and the white-clothed monk nodded seriously and explained: "The surrounding area of Linkong Island is the Soulless Sea, although this island is rich in resources, there will be a sea beast tide every hundred years. In the past, you disciples who didn't cultivate enough didn't see it, because they were stopped and killed outside the island by the big array before they could come ashore. Now that the great array has been broken, there is no obstruction, and the sea beast can go directly to the shore and drive straight in. ”
