I suppressed my anger, smiled at the little monk Yuquan, and said, "Let's go, I don't blame you, go eat something, maybe there will be a chance to gather the 'light of faith' in the future!"
After all, the little monk Yuquan is still young in my eyes, just about the same age as my younger brother.
The young monk Yuquan nodded happily and said, "Brother Yang, thank you for forgiving me."
Then the little monk Yuquan and I walked out of the Jade Emperor Hall of Xiangyun Temple and started eating outside. I have to say that the little monk Yuquan is really heartless. He didn't care much after I scolded him. While eating, he kept smacking his lips, which was really delicious.
Well, that's just his personality, and I can understand that.
I drank a bowl of porridge, but the little monk Yuquan ate all four roasted greasy civet cat tails, and kept saying how delicious they were. I don't know why he has such a strong appetite.
The night sky is starry and the moonlight is clear.
After eating, I sat on a wooden stool under a peach tree and thought about things.
The young monk Yuquan came over and asked me with a smile, "Brother Yang, are you still worried about the cat demon?" He actually understood.
I nodded and said, "After all, we broke into the demon cave of the civet cat clan and overturned their large alchemy furnace. I'm afraid that Grandma Tianqi will find this place soon."
Yuquan said, "Brother Yang, you don't have to worry about this. What is coming will eventually come. My master taught me this."
"My master also said that in one's lifetime, one will experience good and bad fortune. What everyone needs to do is to be the best version of themselves, to be a noble person, a moral person, and a person who is free from vulgarity!"
Well, I think that Master Xiangyun must have commemorated Bethune. But the truth is true.
"My master also said that people should have their own beliefs. Only with beliefs can people become strong and find their direction to make their own contributions to this world and this society. Contributions are not big or small. As long as you work hard and do what you should do, you are a person worthy of respect."
"Brother Yang, my master also said..."
I quickly interrupted the young monk Yuquan and said, "Stop, stop, stop! Please stop talking. I know your master is right, but this kind of chicken soup for the soul is not suitable for me. I still like to drink porridge. I also know that I have my own way to go."
The young monk Yuquan nodded with a smile and said nothing more.
I looked at my watch and said to the little monk, "Go to bed, it's getting late!"
"good!"
Then the little monk Yuquan and I returned to the house to sleep.
In order to prevent the old cat demon from coming, I specially posted a lot of warning signs at the entrance of Xiangyun Temple and on the walls. As long as Grandma Qi came to Xiangyun Temple that day, I would be able to sense it at the first time.
Let’s talk about Grandma Tianqi.
The Ten Thousand Monsters Conference lasted from morning to night, and the discussion was about the sable monster tribe. The discussion was not finished until about three o'clock in the afternoon. When the Ten Thousand Monsters Conference closed, there were some performances by some small monsters, but because something happened in her monster cave, Grandma Tianqi did not stay on Fangding Mountain for long.
Grandma Tianqi and the lone rat of the rat clan, Cunguang, returned to Yuanbao Mountain together.
It was almost dawn when they finally arrived at Yuanbao Mountain.
At this time, the demon cave of the Yuanbao Mountain civet cat clan has become lively. Those cat demons who have not left their rooms for a long time have also come out of their rooms.
The demons also included the cat demon in a yellow skirt, as well as the male cat demon Peng and the female cat demon Qing'er who were all surrounded in the middle.
The three-tailed cat demon and the yellow-skirted cat demon had lost their demonic energy, so they could no longer communicate with other cat demons and could only meow. The cat demon man Peng and the cat demon woman Qing'er were constantly questioned by the cat demons.
The four cat demon women who had fallen unconscious at the door have also woken up and entered the demon cave.
The cat demon man Peng told the cat demons what the monk Yuquan and I looked like, and what we asked about. For a while, the cat demons in the demon cave were very angry, and many of them clamored to peel off the skin of the monk Yuquan and me.
Of course, they could shout whatever they wanted, and Yuquan and I couldn’t hear them.
And even with the power of these cat demons, they can't find Yuquan and me.
Just as these cat demons were arguing and quarreling, a crack suddenly appeared at the entrance of the demon cave, and then two figures flew towards the cat demon clan members at an extremely fast speed.
The two people were so fast that they left two shadows on the ground.
"Grandma is back!"
I don’t know which cat demon recognized Grandma Tianqi and called out.
Then, expressions of joy appeared on the faces of those cat demons.
Grandma Tianqi appeared in front of them, with a hint of annoyance on her old face. Her eyes swept across the faces of the cat demons like an eagle.
Soon, those young cat demons shut up.
Grandma Tianqi frowned, with a few wrinkles appearing at the corners of her eyes. She asked angrily, "Can anyone tell me what is going on? Why did the alchemy furnace open? And why were Huang'er and Lu'er's tails cut off?"
The three-tailed cat demon and the yellow-skirted cat demon turned into civet cats and could not speak.
The cat demon male Peng and cat demon female Qing'er were pushed out by the cat demons. The two then lowered their heads and recounted everything that had happened during the day.
Grandma Tianqi listened carefully. When she heard that the two people who came to their demon cave were a ghost-catching Taoist priest and a little monk, she showed a thoughtful look in her eyes. In addition, Huang Susu's soul was borrowed. The visitor also wanted to find the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart... ...
Adding all of this together, Grandma Tianqi seemed to have thought of something.
"Damn it, they must be from Xiangyun Temple. Their abbot, Monk Xiangyun, has already passed away, and now there are still people rushing out to cause trouble. I think they don't want to live anymore!"
After saying this, Grandma Tianqi turned around angrily and wanted to go to Xiangyun Temple.
But Grandma Tianqi was stopped by Shu Cunguang.
Shu Cun Guang pulled his mustache and said, "Sister Tianqi, this matter is probably not that simple. Think about it, those two humans actually dared to break into the demon cave of the civet cat clan, and they did it when you were not in the demon cave. This shows that they are very familiar with your situation here."
"And those two people are probably quite skilled. They actually defeated the two most powerful cat demons in your demon cave. This shows that they are quite skilled and may have been prepared..."
Then this Shu Cun Guang gave another detailed analysis, and his explanation was so logical that it confused Tian Qi's grandmother, but she still felt that Shu Cun Guang was right.
Finally, Grandma Tianqi and Shu Cunguang discussed and decided to get enough rest before going to Xiangyun Temple during the day tomorrow.
If I knew what was going on with the raccoon cat clan, I would probably be laughing in secret.
Why? Because the little monk Yuquan and I don't know each other at all.
We found the civet cat clan's monster cave by accident. As for the fact that Grandma Tianqi was not in the monster cave, we didn't know about it. I just wanted to sneak in and rescue my girlfriend Huang Susu.
But it was also because of Shushunguang that the little monk Yuquan and I were able to sleep peacefully for a whole night.
The next day, when it got a little light, I couldn't sleep.
I walked out of the room slowly.
The air in the early morning was very clear, with the fragrance of grass and trees. There was a thin layer of morning mist in the distant forest, covering many trees in the mountains. Xiangyun Temple was located in the woods, which gave it a special flavor.
I took out the Taiyin Pearl from my arms. It was warm with my body temperature.
"Is it dawn?" Susu asked me.
I smiled and said, "It will be dawn soon. But today, there are a lot more dark clouds in the sky. It might rain."
Susu reminded me, "On that day, you should wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold!"
My heart warmed up and I said, "It's okay. I'm a Taoist priest now. I have the blessing of good karma. Nothing will happen to me."
At this time, the young monk Yuquan also heard the sound and came out of the Jade Emperor Hall, rubbing his eyes. He had slept on the floor under the Buddha statue last night, but his eyes were bright and he seemed to have slept better than me.
"Brother Yang, sister-in-law, you two should get up!"
Yuquanchao waved hello to me.
I nodded and said, "I just got up not long ago."
Looking at the sky outside, Yuquan said, "Brother Yang, I think that old cat demon may be coming soon."
I was very surprised by Yuquan's statement and asked in astonishment: "How do you know? Maybe the old cat demon will never find this place?"
The young monk Yuquan shook his head and said, "This is just a feeling. I dreamed about that old cat demon before. It was just that she beat me up and I bit off her tail."
Was it a dream? I thought the young monk Yuquan had some kind of predictive ability.
I curled my lips and said, "You, I think you are hungry again!"
Yuquan smiled and said embarrassedly: "Brother Yang, I'm really a little hungry!"
Afterwards, Yuquan and I started to prepare breakfast. There was no meat, but rice and potatoes. At my suggestion, we prepared a pot of porridge and boiled potatoes. Of course, the potatoes needed to be peeled.
But after more than an hour, a "gurgling" sound came from the iron pot on the stone. It seemed that the porridge and potatoes were ready.
Next to the iron pot, the young monk Yuquan's eyes were full of anticipation and he kept swallowing his saliva.
I found it funny when I saw his look. It was just a pot of potatoes and porridge, but he was so greedy. He is really a foodie among foodies.
After a while, I saw that the time was almost up, so I said, "Yuquan, it's time to start cooking!"
Yuquan couldn't wait any longer, so he quickly took off the lid of the iron pot.
The potatoes are mushy and the porridge is steaming hot.
Then we waited for the porridge and potatoes to cool down a little, and we sat around the iron pot and started eating, one bowl at a time.
However, when we were halfway through the meal, my heart suddenly tightened. The warning signs outside were already burning.
I frowned, put down my bowl and chopsticks, and said to the little monk Yuquan: "Yuquan, it's not good, the old cat demon might be here... No, that's not right, it's not just her, there's another demon!"
