Chapter 40 Cloud Movement(1/2)
The night is dark.
In the second half of the night, it started to rain again.
Dark clouds cover the moon, and there is no starlight in the night.
The entire Chang'an City was in darkness. Occasionally, the Jinwu Guards who were patrolling the night were passing by with torches, but then they fell into darkness again.
There are stars and lights on the palace city in the distance.
That was the imperial guards of the Imperial City of Guard, patrolling the city.
The white sand in the hourglass flowed silently. Located in Wuhou Shop next to the fangmen, Fangding looked at the hourglass, picked up a small hammer, and walked out of the fangmen. He raised the small hammer and gently tapped the copper bell hanging under the eaves, making a melodious sound.
Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding
It's been two or three days.
Master Mingkong suddenly opened his eyes and started from the meditation bed.
She had long hair loose and was wearing a moon-white underwear, which outlined her graceful figure with exquisite curves.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu?"
Mingkong wiped off the fine sweat beads on his forehead and suddenly found that the black cat sleeping at the end of her bed had gone. Since the black cat healed, he would run out to play everywhere during the day, and return to the temple at night to sleep with Mingkong.
This was the case last night, how could it be gone?
The black cat is very well-behaved. As long as it comes back, it will accompany Mingkong and never leave.
What happened today? Where did you go?
Mingkong got off the Zen bed and lit the oil lamp.
There was no trace of the black cat in the room, but the window was opened, and I thought it was slipping out of the window.
But where did it slip away so late?
Could it be that you are hungry?
Mingkong thought of this, put on his clothes and opened the door.
Meow-
In the dark night, a shrill cat moan came.
Mingkong was shocked, and she could hear that it was the sound of the black cat.
She raised the oil lamp in her hand and walked out of the Zen room, following the direction of the cat's meow, while quietly calling its name.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu?"
But there was no response.
Mingkong became even more nervous. He walked out of the corridor. On the steps at the exit of the corridor, there seemed to be something on the ground. He quickly squatted down and brought the oil lamp over. When he saw this, her face suddenly changed, and she showed a look of panic.
"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu!"
There was a small pool of blood on the ground and a tuft of black cat hair.
Reminding the screams of the black cat just now, an ominous feeling came to me leisurely.
She hurriedly walked down the steps and walked out of the Zen temple along the wet stone path. The rain became heavier and heavier, and the oil lamp flashed twice and was extinguished.
Outside the Zen temple, there was darkness.
Mingkongshen stepped forward with one foot, and suddenly she seemed to trip up by something under her feet, and she staggered and fell to the ground.
Is it a person?
Mingkong could only vaguely see that it was a person lying on the ground.
She knelt on the ground and groped with her hands. She was wet and a little sticky, not like rain, but like... blood?
Her heart trembled, and she seemed to have touched a hard object on her hands.
Almost instinctively, she grabbed it in her hand, but at this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind her, followed by Mingkong felt that something was hit behind her head, and his eyes turned dark and he stumbled into the mud.
"Meow!"
The black cat's cry seemed very manic.
It ran over from a distance, and before it could approach the Mingkong, the black shadow appeared out of thin air again.
The black cat looked a little miserable at this moment.
The wet hair was covered with blood, and one hind leg limped.
But it didn't seem to feel pain, and it looked fierce and rose up at the black shadow. It roared with a meow, and two sharp blades popped out from its front paws, and rushed towards the black shadow fiercely. The sharp blade passed through the black shadow, and with a snap, a wooden doll fell to the ground. It seemed to know something was wrong, and forced to turn around in the air.
It was a time to say that, and then two firebirds flew out of the darkness, dispelling the darkness in an instant.
The water vapor that filled the air quickly gathered towards the black cat.
Immediately afterwards, the black cat opened its mouth and squirted out a water ball, slamming it hard on a firebird.
The firebird let out a whine, and Mars flew and disappeared. However, although it destroyed one firebird, another firebird, hit the black cat with a bang. In an instant, the black cat's waist caught fire.
It screamed shrillly and fell to the ground.
The water vapor quickly gathered from all directions, and the flames on the body disappeared.
"Hey, can you actually mobilize the water essence? I thought you were just an ordinary dark cat, but I didn't expect you to have such skills."
A nice sound came from the darkness.
The black cat grinned his teeth and growled in the darkness.
"What a pity, if you practice for another 10 or 20 years, I will be no match for you.
But now... you seem to have just obtained this ability and have not really mastered the mystery, so... go to die!"
A dozen firebirds flew out of the darkness and rushed towards the black cat.
Seeing this, the black cat was a little panicked.
It looked at the dark sky that was lying in the mud and water, its clothes were stained with blood, and it was unconscious. Then it roared and turned around and ran away. It was injured, but it did not affect its speed at all. With its running movements, balls of water vapor appeared behind it. The firebird was disturbed by the water vapor, and the firelight gradually became darker and weaker.
The black cat disappeared into the mist of water.
Meow-
Meow-
It's dawn.
A series of shrill cat moans woke up Miss Liu.
She frowned and looked unhappy, and came out of the house in a dress.
While walking, she scolded: "Where did the damn cat come from? I screamed endlessly in the morning. Will it be spring?"
She pushed open the door and saw a black cat lying outside the door.
The black cat looked half-dead, lying on the ground, but still struggled to hold up and shouted at the door.
When Lady Liu came out, it immediately stopped screaming.
At the same time, Di Renjie and Hong Liang were also awakened and walked out of the room one by one sleepy.
"This is……"
When Di Renjie saw the black cat, he was stunned for a moment and felt a little familiar.
Lady Liu had already recognized the black cat, so she hurried forward, squatted down and shouted: "Ami, come on the light."
When she said that, she remembered that Ami was not at home.
However, Di Renjie reacted quickly. He turned around and went back to the room, and soon came over with an oil lamp.
"Madam, do you recognize it?"
"This is Master Mingkong's cat. I saw her hugging it... Yoyo, what did this little pitiful thing happen? It's all covered in wounds."
Miss Liu said, carefully picking up the black cat.
The black cat did not struggle and let Miss Liu hold her, and her little body trembled.
The injuries on it were indeed not light, including knife wounds and burns.
Mrs. Liu took a box from the inner room and carefully treated it with her injuries.
"Ami used to be naughty and often came back with injuries, so I was prepared here.
Later, when his father left, he became much more steady. Later, he became a bad person…”
While nagging, Miss Liu treated the black cat's injuries.
The black cat was lying on the table, allowing Lady Liu to treat it, and her mouth kept meowing, her voice was weak, but she was very rapid.
"Madam, does he want to talk?"
"The psychopath, it's a cat, not a human, what do you say."
"No, you see, it keeps looking at you and screaming... And, since it is Master Mingkong's cat, how could it be so seriously injured? What happened this night? Why did it come to us if it doesn't go to the master?"
