(xxiii)

In the end, the little boy let Master Ran take him away. Master Li firmly believes that only by listening to the master's words can his son grow up safely, no matter how much Mrs. Li cries and prefers to die, it will not help. Walking with the little boy, there was also the black cat, which had not been seen since that day. Master Ran made an appointment with Master Li that every year when it was the birthday of the little son, he would take the little boy back to the house for a few days to relieve Mrs. Li's pain. In this way, the little son Li Fan followed Master Ran to Panshan and lived in Panshan Temple, Mrs. Li could only see her on her son's birthday, and gradually she became accustomed to it. As long as her son can grow up safely, what is the pain of parting? After seeing it, in the fifth year after the little son went up the mountain, she added a small daughter to the Li family. With the company of Xiao Qianjin, in the days when her son left, she was no longer so miserable.

After the little boy went up the mountain, his body returned to normal, and Master Ran gave him a legal name: Dust. When he first left home, he was at a loss and couldn't understand, and in the end, he was resigned to fate, and then he learned that his parents had good intentions, and he grew up with only the black cat that never abandoned. The black cat seldom came when he was sensible, and only appeared quietly at night, in the dead of night. His master once said that the Buddha Gate is pure, and the black cat cannot be allowed to enter and leave freely, and only at night can it come in and meet him when no one is left. The black cat became his only good friend on the way to growth, chanting and worshipping the Buddha with the master during the day, and only at night, he could return to the identity of the little son of the Li Mansion, play freely with the black cat, and spend one lonely night after another.

The little boy spent twenty years of age peacefully on the mountain. Master Li and Mrs. Li finally put their minds at ease, thinking that if they had survived the catastrophe of his fate, would they be able to go home? Master Ran had already passed away when he was nineteen years old, and after the age of twenty, if he wanted to go home, I am afraid that no one would be able to stop him. It's just that he has become accustomed to a peaceful life on the mountain, and has vowed to inherit his mantle in front of Master Zhiran, so he refuses the kindness of his parents and decides to stay in Panshan Temple forever. For this reason, Mr. and Mrs. Li were almost white-headed, but they had no choice but to let him go.

At the age of twenty-one, the black cat that had been with him suddenly spoke one night. He always remembered his shock, and the shock was followed by a burst of ecstasy, and the monks should not have made such a fuss. But the other party is a black cat that has always grown up with him, even if it wants his life at this time, he will not hesitate at all. What's more, it had only come to say goodbye to him, and when he heard that it was leaving, the ecstasy in his heart turned into deep sadness. Without it, how can we spend the long years? He didn't know, he just didn't want it to go, whether it was a cat or a demon.

"The little boy has safely survived the catastrophe of his fate, and he will definitely become a living Buddha in the future, if I continue to stay by your side, I am afraid it will affect your cultivation. It just so happens that I still have one wish to fulfill, and for the rest of the time, I will fulfill my wish, and you can practice here with peace of mind. When your merits are complete, it will be the day when the two of us will meet. You remember, my name is Jiu'er. After saying that, the black cat disappeared before he came back to his senses, leaving him alone in the room and sighing for a long time.

After Jiu'er learned that Qin Hao in this life could spend it safely, she left with peace of mind. Now that his cultivation is becoming more and more advanced, if he follows him any longer, I am afraid it will be harmful and unbeneficial. In that case, it is better to leave him and do what you have to do. Over the years, she was afraid that she would lose her life as soon as she left him, so she never dared to leave him, and she could only wait until he was safe before she had the idea of leaving. It's time for her and the Golden Retriever to settle their scores. In the days of the little boy's practice, she was not idle, and she had memorized all the cheats she brought back, so she was about to practice this step. In the realm of this immortal city, there are many people who cultivate immortals and seek the Tao, and they can't even see the shadow of a rat demon, let alone fight each other. She had no choice but to leave here and go somewhere else to see if she could find a hint of the golden retriever.

After saying goodbye to the little boy, she went all the way north. There are more forests in the north, and some of the mountains have natural caves, if she is a golden retriever, she will definitely find a place where no one has been to hide when she is being shouted and beaten everywhere. After so many years, if he really can't find anyone hiding from him, it is estimated that he has established his power again. It seems that the chances of finding him this time are extremely slim, so I have to try my luck. She is very worried about the little boy in her heart, thinking that after leaving for ten or eight years, she will come back to see it, and this matter is best to solve it quickly. On the way, she turned her head and thought of the good brother of the golden retriever, the rat king on the Black Devil Ridge. Will there be news of him there? Thinking like this, she turned around and rushed towards the Black Devil Ridge again.

Evil rats come out of the poor mountains and bad waters, and it is estimated that this is the Black Demon Ridge. It was even more terrifying than when she had been here. The radius of a hundred miles has been spoiled by a black miasma, and the forest is dense and opaque, and the day is like night. The surroundings of this Black Devil Ridge Forest are covered with white bones, and it should be that the animals here have been eaten. There were occasionally one or two humanoid white bones among the bones, and those who should have strayed into the forest were not spared. This damn black rat is so lawless, look at my aunt and grandmother if you don't pluck your rat hair today and get rid of this big tumor for this side.

Jiu'er adjusted his internal breath in the forest, and brought a special mask to himself, the black fog here is hugely poisonous, if you accidentally inhale it in your body, you will be paralyzed all over your body, and then you will be unable to move, not to mention, you will be poisoned. The rat demon didn't find it, and she was poisoned when she didn't arrive.

"Compared with the underworld, these little poisons are simply a trivial matter, and my aunt and grandmother are afraid that he will not succeed." Jiu'er cautiously walked around the forest a few times, and found that there was nothing but darkness and poisonous gas. Just when he was wondering, there was a sudden sound behind him, followed by a strange laugh of "Boom".

"Where is the wicked? Don't show up yet! Jiu'er shouted, the person had raised his vigilance, and his whole body entered a fighting state.

"Yo, it's quite a big breath. You broke into my Black Demon Ridge, I'm afraid you didn't come to me to gather the old. If there is any treasure left on you, I can consider sparing your life. In the thick black fog, there stood a black shadow, who couldn't see his true face, only that the man was tall, and when he spoke, there was a foul smell.

"I came to find the Black Rat King today, I don't want to disturb you, if you don't want to die, get out of the way."

"Oh, you know the Black Rat King?"

"There was a fight, and I lost."

"And who are you? Report your name first. ”

"Jiu'er, the cat clan, I've been here once in decades."

"Oh ha, it turned out to be a defeated soldier, I didn't expect you to dare to come. Hmph, since I'm here, I don't have the same good luck as last time, and it just so happens that our brother is hungry. Besides, my brothers have never eaten a cat person. Just in time, brothers, give it to me. After saying that, the man waved his hand, and the thing that came out of nowhere, a piece of black pressing, rushed towards Jiu'er.

"You're looking for death!" Jiu'er luck exercise, slapped a palm on the ground, the palm wind was fierce, and all those who wanted to get close to her were bounced out, and a large piece of it fell down with a bang. "Since you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, then don't blame me for being rude." As soon as her words fell, she recited a spell on her lips, and a fire ignited within ten feet in front of her, lighting up the forest. Rats are afraid of fire and water, who doesn't know this, all the rats who rushed over just now were struggling and wailing in the sea of fire, and no one dared to come forward for a while.
