Walking in such a big mountain, it is inevitable to eat and sleep in the open. Fortunately, both of them are martial arts practitioners, and they are not afraid of some difficulties. Although it was already May, it was still very cold in the mountains. There are many places where there is even snow.

But fortunately, there are abundant products in the Qinling Mountains, and many large and small animals grow here. There are many hares and wild boars, as well as antelopes and elk. There are many large animals that have never been seen before. Therefore, the two of them did not worry about eating and drinking.

In the evening of that day, the two rested by a small stream, eating barbecue meat on the sweet water, although it was bitter, it was also pleasant.

Suddenly, a chubby, round animal ran out of the bushes next to them and ran towards the two of them. It was followed by a ferocious leopard.

The leopard jumped out of the bushes and suddenly saw Ding Cheng and Rong'er. The leopard seemed to rarely see people, and when it saw Ding Cheng and Rong'er, it first stopped, staring at Ding Cheng and Rong'er with a pair of blue eyes.

At this time, the little guy who was being chased had already run to Rong'er's feet. Rong'er stretched out a hand and took the little guy into her arms. The little guy probably knew that Rong'er wanted to save its life, and he didn't struggle and cry, so he stayed quietly in Rong'er's arms.

The leopard observed Ding Cheng and Rong'er for a while, and when he saw that Ding Cheng and Rong'er were not anything remarkable, he roared, shrank back, and then pounced forward, like an arrow off the string.

Ding Cheng saw the leopard pounce, dodged and stopped in front of Rong'er, tilted his head, let go of the leopard's fangs, raised his right palm, and slapped the leopard's neck and shoulders at once, and flew out like the leopard to the left, and fell heavily to the ground.

The leopard turned over and stood up, cracked a bloody mouth, looked at Ding Cheng viciously, and roared angrily.

Ding Cheng smiled: "What's the matter?

The leopard seemed to know that Ding Cheng was laughing at it, and pounced again. I have to say that the explosive power of the leopard is indeed amazing, its flying speed is very fast, and the figure flashes and arrives in front of Ding Cheng.

But for Ding Cheng, the leopard's speed is still not fast enough. I saw him smile, raise his right palm, and slapped it towards the leopard.

His palm may seem like an understatement, but in fact it is not to be underestimated. First of all, the speed of his attack was much faster than that of the leopard, and as soon as the leopard pounced in front of him, Ding Cheng's palm was already pressed on the upper jaw of the leopard.

The second is the strength of Ding Cheng's palm. Although he only used thirty percent of his strength, he could still crack the stone. The leopard's palate was gently pressed by him, and a large mouth of blood was involuntarily closed.

Then a crunch was heard, and the four fangs of the leopard had cracked and fallen off.

The leopard fell to the ground, bleeding from the corners of its mouth, and screaming. Only then did it know how powerful Ding Cheng was, turned around, and fled into the bushes with its tail between its legs.

Rong'er looked at the little guy in her arms again, the more she looked at it, the more cute she became, with a snow-white body, black limbs, and two eyes and two ears that were black. That simple look, like a bear and like a cat.

Rong'er asked Ding Cheng, "Brother Ding, do you know what it's called?"

Ding Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, I've never seen anything like this before." It looks like a bear, but it's a bit like a big cat, very similar to the one we saw in Chengdu, but it's much smaller than that, and it should be a cub. Why don't I give it a name, let's call it a cat-bear. ”

Rong'er smiled: "The name of the cat bear is quite appropriate, so let's call it the cat bear." ”

Ding Cheng smiled: "What's the matter? It looks like Rong'er wants to raise this little thing?"

Rong'er held the bear in her arms and said with a smile: "I can't bear to let such a cute little thing go." Maybe I just let it go, and as soon as I turn around, it will become a meal for leopards and tigers. ”

Ding Cheng smiled: "It's okay like this, but I don't know if this thing is good or not?"

Rong'er said: "Looking at its meaty appearance, it must be a foodie, and it should be quite easy to raise." ”

But what Ding Cheng and Rong'er didn't expect was that this little guy didn't seem to be very interested in meat.

Rong'er fed it with roasted rabbit meat, and it only ate a few small bites and stopped eating. Ding Cheng guessed if it didn't like to eat cooked meat, so he beat another hare and fed it with raw meat. But he still didn't have much of an appetite.

Later, Rong'er tried to feed it all kinds of fruits in the mountains, but it still ate relatively little. The originally round belly suddenly deflated, and it looked listless.

Rong'er began to worry a little, and she couldn't imagine that this little thing was really not easy to serve.

She was a little unhappy in her heart, so she folded a piece of bamboo shoot and shook it in her hand, while thinking about what kind of rare fresh fruit should be used to feed it before it would be willing to eat?

Suddenly, Rong'er felt a tightness in her hand, and when she looked down, she saw that the cat bear in her arms was tearing the bamboo shoots in her hand with her mouth. Curious, she let go of her hand.

The cat bear grabbed the bamboo shoot and put it in its mouth, and ate a large piece of bamboo shoot into its stomach in three or two clicks.

Does this little guy like to eat bamboo?

Rong'er immediately put it on the ground, picked a large pile of bamboo shoots and delicate bamboo from the bamboo forest on the side of the road and put it in front of it. The little cat and bear ate it with relish.

It turns out that this little guy likes to eat bamboo, which is really unique!

On this day, Ding Cheng and Rong'er came to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. Zhongnan Mountain is dozens of miles in circumference, and the mountains are continuous, and I don't know where Xuanyuanzi's Nanqing Palace is.

There are dozens of families scattered here, ranging from croppers to hunters. Two peasant men walked past Ding Cheng and Rong'er, stopped and raised their hands to salute them. Ding Cheng and Rong'er hurriedly returned the salute, and said in their hearts: "This Zhongnan Mountain is really worthy of being a Taoist holy land, and even the ordinary farmers under the mountain have a Taoist immortal aura on their bodies.

Ding Cheng inquired about the news from a farmer at the bottom of the mountain, and the old farmer said: "This Nanshan is really too big, my old man has lived here all his life, and he has only been to one-tenth or two, and I really don't know where the Nanqing Palace is." ”

I asked several families in a row, but they all said they didn't know. It seems that this Xuanyuan is really a real hermit, and even the locals do not know where he lives.

One of the old hunters said to Ding Cheng: "Although I don't know where the Nanqing Palace is, but there are many cultivators on this Zhongnan Mountain, and there are many Taoist temples, you can go to the mountain and ask those Taoist masters, maybe someone knows." ”

So Ding Cheng and Rong'er had to go up the mountain.
