Immortal City, as the name suggests, is said to have appeared here a long time ago, where there was an immortal who soared through the clouds. The people of this place are keen to ask for immortals and ask, every family has an immortal to worship. I don't know if the statue of the fairy is made so lifelike, the fairy wind is bone, white clothes, white hair and white beard, holding a handful of dust in his hand, his expression is peaceful, with a smile on his face, his eyebrows are charitable, looking at the red dust in the world, and he is loved by the people of Xiancheng for thousands of years. The people here are simple, most of them are kind and charitable, unique in this chaotic world, increasingly prosperous, gathering people from all over the world to ask for immortals. There are countless large and small temples and Taoist temples in the city, and people dressed as monks and Taoist priests come and go on the street, which has become a major feature of this fairy city.

At noon on this day, the weather in Xiancheng was originally good, but suddenly lightning and thunder roared, the wind was fierce, and the sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, as if a heavy rain was coming. The master of Panshan Temple, in the middle of the room, closed his eyes to recuperate, and a disciple outside the door broke in in a panic, looking frightened, and asked him to go out immediately to inspect the celestial phenomena. Master Ran opened his eyes, his expression was calm, he stood up unhurriedly, and walked out with his disciple. At this time, the sky was completely covered by dark clouds, and the sun that was shining happily at noon was surrounded by dark clouds, and the light disappeared without a trace. I saw that the loud thunder was deafening, and the lightning seemed to split the darkness, flashing so thrilling that the monks in the temple screamed again and again.

Master Ran's originally calm face changed greatly, he was born out of phase, I am afraid that a monster was born, there must be an abnormality in the city, he has to go down the mountain once, find out the reason in order to determine the truth. He held the Buddha beads in his hand tightly, and instructed a little monk behind him: "It's empty, go down the mountain for the teacher, wait in the temple, wait for me to find out the truth, and I will return." The little monk hurriedly answered yes, and made a respectful gesture. When he got up, there was no trace of Master Ran in front of him.

The pedestrians on the streets of Xiancheng are all running to their homes in a hurry, and there has been no vision of "Tengu Eclipse Day" for many years, and the old people in the city can't tell it. The appearance of such a vision is probably a big deal. The faces of the people in the city invariably showed panicked looks, the fairy city had been calm for so many years, and suddenly a vision fell from the sky, and people were even more frightened in their hearts. Is there something unknown going on in the city? Why is Heaven angry?

While the people on the street were secretly looking for their way home, a family in the fairy city was even more anxious, the owner of this family was like a great enemy, and everyone in the whole house was standing in the courtyard together, many people were whispering, and the house was in chaos.

This is the Li family, the richest man in the city. This day happened to be the day when Mrs. Li gave birth, but the moment the little son was born, this day changed. At the moment, the delivery room is busy, some people are lighting lights, some people are fetching water, some people are cleaning up the house, strange to say, since the birth of the little boy, he has not cried. The midwife wiped him clean and put him in Mrs. Li's arms, and was thinking about whether to let Mrs. Li gently slap the little boy's ass and make him make a sound, but he cried as if he was frightened. At the moment when he began to cry out loud, something strange happened in the sky again. It was still lightning and thunder, but after he cried, everything stopped.

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, the sun peeked out from behind the clouds, and the people who ran to their homes in a panic on the street startled the suddenly lit up sky, and everyone forgot to move, and stared at the sky blankly, no one could understand what was going on. After such a fuss, Xiancheng was completely boiling. Monks and Taoist priests have different opinions, what demons and monsters, what gods and fairies, and what is sent by heaven and so on, all of which have been told again.

The most excited is the master of the Li family, the sky has only returned to normal after his son cried. Therefore, his son must be an immortal who came into the world, and he can break the vision as soon as he speaks. If he had obtained a treasure, he was reluctant to let go after taking his son from the hands of the midwife. He sent away the servants who had gathered together, and ordered them to take good care of the little boy, and when the little boy was full moon, he would hold a feast and invite guests from all over the world. Just when he was overjoyed, there was a sound of "Amitabha Buddha" outside the door, and a person dressed as a monk stood outside the door, looking solemnly, looking at the door of the Li family, the Buddha beads rotating in his hand stopped moving, and he slapped twice on the door with one free hand.

"Master, what's the matter?" Someone came to answer the door, and when he opened the door and saw that it was a monk, the servant asked politely.

"Amitabha, dare to ask the donor, is there something going on in the house today?" The monk clasped his hands together and bowed to the visitors.

"Hey, master, you are really a god. My lord just added a little boy today, and now the whole house is happy. ”

"Amitabha, Lao Na wants to see that little boy last time, can this benefactor make it convenient?"

"Well, I can't do that. Master, wait a minute, I'll call the master over. As soon as the man had finished speaking, he closed the door first, and then went in to report.

In a few moments, the footsteps inside the door came from far and near, and then the door opened from the inside. The person who came out this time was Master Li, and the subordinate followed behind him. As soon as Master Li saw the monk, he immediately saluted respectfully, and called out heartily: "Master Ran!" "It turns out that Master Li is also a person who is a Buddha, and he has met Master Zhiran several times, and he has also listened to the master's chanting lectures. He didn't expect that the monk outside the door was Master Ran, so he hurriedly asked someone to open the door and welcome the master in.

"Master, why are you here today? Let the master smile, today Li is so happy, there is chaos inside. Master, this way, please. Come on, hurry up and serve tea. Master Li invited Master Ran to the main hall and instructed his subordinates to serve tea.

"Thank you for your hospitality. Lao Na came here today, just to see the little boy, I wonder if the donor can let Lao Na get his wish? ”

"But my son has just been born, so I'm afraid it's not very convenient. However, Li Mou will hold a banquet when his son is full moon, and he will also invite Master Ran to come to appreciate his face. Master, what do you think of this? ”

"Amitabha, good, good! In this way, Lao Na will not disturb the donor, and on the day of the full moon of the son, Lao Na will definitely come again. After saying that, Master Ran got up and stood up, saluted Master Li, and then walked out of the gate. Master Li got up and sent him all the way, until he sent Master Ran outside the gate, and watched the master's figure disappear into the crowd, he walked back.

How could Master Ran know that my son was born? Why are you in such a hurry to see my son? Could it be that my son is really an immortal? Master Li was puzzled along the way, and there were many doubts in his heart. He walked back to the room, wanting to see his newborn son again, and then he came to the door, when suddenly a servant came running to him and reported: "Master, there is a black cat in the yard, no matter how small it is, it can't be driven away, and I ask the master to take a look." ”

"Oh, where did the black cat come from?"

"I don't know when the little one came, but I've seen it stay there since the little boy was born. The little one wanted to drive it away, but it just couldn't. ”

"After my son was born? Is there such a thing? Take me to see it. ”

Master Li followed his subordinates to the courtyard where the black cat was, and that courtyard was the place where Mrs. Li gave birth to her little son. Strange to say, the black cat was guarding the door, and no one could drive it away. It looks calm, no one is afraid, it is not afraid of life like ordinary kittens, and it looks at people directly, as if it can understand what others are saying.

Master Li took a closer look and saw that the black cat was very good-looking, with shiny black hair and shiny eyes, curled up lazily and motionlessly, as if he was guarding something, and there was no panic. He was very curious in his heart, this cat is very individual, since it is related to my son, then leave it behind, the Li family is afraid that a cat will not work. So he ordered his subordinates to leave it alone, and let it stay at home, so that it could be raised and raised, as a gift he gave to the little son. In this way, the black cat stayed in the Li family, quietly waiting for the little boy to grow up, and kept his promise to protect him.
