"King Zhou Mu's secret?"
Ning Fei asked.
"According to the folklore of "The Biography of Emperor Mu" and "Historical Records", King Mu of Zhou drove a carriage pulled by eight horses to the west and fell in love with a female tribal leader in Kunlun."
"However, due to the turmoil in the country, he returned in a hurry and never returned to the female leader as promised."
"Cultural relics unearthed in many places also support the authenticity of this story."
"Could it be that there are other ways here?"
Ning Fei knew history very well, so he told everything he knew.
"Yes, King Mu of Zhou quickly traveled around the world from east to west."
Then, Bai Yuanche began to tell, and Ning Fei listened quietly.
"Everyone in the world, including the ministers, believed that King Mu of Zhou wanted to see the great rivers and mountains of the Zhou Dynasty during his tour."
"But only his cronies Mao Ban and Jing Li knew that this was not the reason for King Zhou Mu's travel."
Ning Fei is very smart. Bai Yuanche just said a few words and he reacted immediately.
The emperors of ancient China were always at the pinnacle of power during times of peace and prosperity. At this time, they only wanted one thing.
"King Zhou Mu is seeking immortality!" Ning Fei exclaimed.
Bai Yuanche laughed. As his apprentice, he had always been smart, and he was very satisfied with this.
"Yes, longevity."
"The purpose of King Zhou Mu is recorded in a manuscript left by Mao Ban."
"In Kunlun, King Zhou Mu met a mysterious tribe. The so-called love for the female leader of that tribe was made by King Zhou Mu. In fact, it was because that tribe was the 'mountain-guarding clan' of the Kunlun Mountains at the time and held the secrets of Kunlun. "
"Mao Ban mentioned that King Zhou Mu finally deceived the trust of the female leader and knew that the secret of Kunlun was a top-quality orb. The rumor about that orb is that it can protect the soul of a person's immortality and thus achieve eternal life."
After hearing Bai Yuanche's story, Ning Fei cursed in his heart:
"King Zhou Mu is a scumbag."
"But to achieve immortality, you need a ritual, and you need the guidance of the tribe's sacrifice. Later, it seemed that King Zhou Mu had a conflict with the female leader, so he used stone sculptures to create a ritual."
"That's pretty much the story."
I see.
Ning Fei nodded secretly.
This story is a bit bizarre. If it were handed over to a Chinese screenwriter, it would probably be a TV series.
"Master, do you think that orb is real?" Ning Fei asked.
"It's fake, there is no immortality in the world, you have to believe in science." Bai Yuanche shook his head and said with a smile.
"However, if you can find the stone chamber, it means that the story is true and the orb exists. I have no other information, but you can look at the map. The things that the tribe believes in seem to be related to gossip."
At this time, Lin Chu walked out of the small villa, saw the two men chatting in the yard, and shouted:
"Get ready and eat in five minutes."
"Master's wife, here you come!" Ning Fei responded.
Then, Ning Fei looked at Bai Yuanche and asked with a smile:
"Master, are you not going to find that orb?"
Bai Yuanche shook his head: "It's not like I haven't been to Kunlun before. The orb is probably just a luminous pearl, or other gems, which are useless."
"You can look for it if you want. I just want to rest here quietly now."
Ning Fei said nothing more about this.
After dinner, Ning Fei drove and went to the "Meow Meow House" in the city to buy a cat climbing frame with Bai Yi.
The so-called Meow House is a nationwide chain of cat toy and supply stores that sells cat litter, cat bowls, cat teasers, and all kinds of kittens. It is a favorite place for cat lovers.
People jokingly call the Meow House an underground cat-sucking place. It is similar to a cat cafe and is also a good place for couples to go on a date.
The majority of people here in Kuncheng are Han Chinese, and there are also a small number of Tibetans.
Ning Fei specially changed into casual clothes in order to be less conspicuous.
But as soon as he got out of the car, he was recognized immediately.
"Ah! It's Master Ning!"
"Oh my God, really? Where?"
"It's true! Sisters, come here quickly, I see the living Guanzhu Ning!"
"Husband! Where is my husband?"
Everyone's enthusiasm made Ning Fei uncomfortable. Bai Yi naturally took Ning Fei's arm and smiled softly. From time to time, he puffed out his modest chest, as if to advertise his territory.
Ning Fei entered the meow house and took a fancy to a light yellow cat climbing frame.
The so-called cat climbing frame is a frame that cats can climb up and down. There are several small velvet platforms on it for cats to rest on.
More and more people gathered in the Meow Meow House. Many people were holding mobile phones and taking photos around Ning Fei.
Ning Fei bought a cat climbing frame, a cat teasing stick, a piece of catnip, and a cat ball, then he pulled Bai Yi and left as fast as he could.
"Hey, brother, how does it feel to be popular?" Bai Yi asked with a smile while sitting in the passenger seat.
"Phew! Not so good." Ning Fei shook his head, then drove away.
After returning to the room, Ning Fei began to install the cat climbing frame.
Bai Yi went to change into home clothes and came to his room to help.
It was very warm in the room, so Bai Yi only wore two thin singlets.
As soon as Ning Fei came in with the cat climbing frame, the little black girls were immediately interested and ran under the cat climbing frame to climb up.
"Wait a moment, it's not installed yet."
Ning Fei picked up the three little guys with both hands and put them aside. However, the kitten was very energetic and ran over again, trying to climb up.
Then, Ning Fei took them away, and they ran over again.
Seeing this, Ning Fei shook his head and called "little fox".
The little fox immediately jumped over and came to the three little black chirps, blocking their progress.
The cat climbing frame Ning Fei bought not only has a fixed frame with several platforms on it, but also has several small parts that need to be installed on the wall.
Specifically, it includes wooden tunnels, suspension bridges, small rooms, jumping platforms, etc.
This room was specially prepared by Bai Yuanche for Ning Fei. It is equivalent to Ning Fei's bedroom, so he can decorate it as he likes.
“Cats like to climb high, and they especially like the feeling of being at a high place.”
Ning Fei said.
He first stapled the shelves on the wall to the wall, and the rest of the items were placed relatively high. Generally speaking, a table would have to be moved over to mount it.
But Bai Yi volunteered and said, "Brother, I'll pretend."
Ning Fei smiled gently, "Can you do it?"
"Stop looking down on others. You're just putting on airs. You carry me up." Bai Yi pursed her lips and said.
"Okay, I'll carry you up."
Then, Bai Yi took off his slippers, sat on Ning Fei's neck, and was directly lifted up by Ning Fei.
Ning Fei's hands held Bai Yi's calves to help her stabilize her body shape.
Bai Yi is very light.
"Brother, please slow down, I feel a little drifting."
Bai Yi held the parts of the cat climbing frame and said coquettishly.
There is no center of gravity on it, so it is not very stable and the body tends to sway. Bai Yi shook his hands in panic from time to time, as if he wanted to grab something, but there was nothing on it.
Fortunately, Bai Yuanche and Lin Chu were both watching TV downstairs at this time. Otherwise, if they passed by the corridor, they would hear several coquettish "ah" sounds coming from Ning Fei's room.
It didn't take long for the two of them to find a balance. Installing the cat climbing frame was not complicated. They just nailed a few parts to the wall, and Bai Yi was able to do it easily.
"Brother, how are my skills?"
Bai Yi got off Ning Fei's body and blinked her big eyes, looking forward to Ning Fei's comments.
Ning Fei looked up and saw that the cat climbing frame was in a good position, the height was just right, and the angle was not crooked, so he praised:
"not bad."
At this time, Xiao Heijiu also started to move.
The three little black cats each found a place and began to climb up. They had a great time playing. When they were tired, they found a high platform, lay on it, and looked down.
The cat climbing frame is big enough, and the little fox is still young, so it can climb up easily.
However, foxes don’t like heights, so they just found a lower platform and lay down to rest.
When Xiao Fei saw the cat climbing the frame, he was not to be outdone. He took off on the spot and flew directly to the highest point, which shocked the little black girls.
Seeing everyone going up, the puppy ran around anxiously on the ground, pawing restlessly with its front claws.
The puppy's aggrieved expression seemed to say, "The clown is actually me."
Ning Fei laughed helplessly.
The newly installed cat climbing frame can be played by other little ones, but the puppies cannot get on it.
"The cat ball is ready for you to play with."
Ning Fei couldn't treat one favorably, so he gave the cat ball that was originally intended for Xiao Heijiu and others to play with.
The little dog held the cat ball in its mouth, tilted its head, and gradually calmed down.
Bai Yi, who was standing aside, felt that this scene was particularly beautiful and started laughing.
