The cat meat pad is embedded in the groove, which fits perfectly with the half plum blossom-shaped hollow inside.

There was only a soft sound of the mechanism starting, and the whole tower shook undetectably, the stone gate in front of it rose slowly, and the muffled sound from the friction between the gate and the stone wall echoed in the tower.

Pei Miao stared intently at the rising stone gate, her body remained upright until the stone gate reached the top before she released her claws on the groove, looked down at Siam triumphantly: "I opened it. "

For ordinary cats, this groove is indeed a bit high, but for Pei Miao, there is no challenge at all. He is the King Kong Barbie among cats, with a strong body and long legs, and he can easily touch the groove without tiptoeing.

Siam did not expect Pei Miao to open the door so easily. After comparing the height difference between him and Pei Miao, he suddenly felt a little unbalanced, and said sourly: "You are a big man who is finally useful, come on, tell me Grandpa go in."

Said, Siam took the lead to walk towards the door, and Pei Miao immediately hooked Gu Qiyan with her tail to follow.

Passing through a long and narrow path, after taking half a cup of tea, Pei Miao's vision suddenly opened up.

This is an extremely spacious stone room. On the sunny side are large windows carved out of stone blocks. The bright sunlight directly shines in from the outside, and large pieces hit the stone room, leaving mottled spots all over the room.

The ventilation in the stone chamber is very good, dry and cool, it is very good for hiding treasures or living in people.

As soon as Siam entered the stone room, he just drooled, while Pei Miao and Gu Qiyan were stunned. No wonder he smelled fishy outside the stone room, because the stone room itself was a large dried fish storage room.

At the window facing the sun, there are more than a dozen bamboo poles hung high and low, and dozens of dried fish are densely hung on each bamboo pole. When the wind blows, the dried fish gently swings with the wind, making a slight impact. There was a sound, and there was a burst of fishy smell coming to Pei Miao's nose, which smelled a little bit fucking sweet.

There are also dried fish hanging on the roof near the ventilation openings, which look like wind chimes. They are high and low, elegant and delicate, and dance with the wind. I'm afraid he should praise the artistry of these wind chimes.

"These are the treasures of previous national teachers?" Gu Qiyan looked at Siam expressionlessly. Although he couldn't understand the meow language, from the interaction between this little black face and Pei Miao and his familiarity with this temple, he could tell Combined with the legend about the national teacher that he heard when he was a child, he had already vaguely guessed the identity of the cat.

"Meow." Siam nodded, looking proudly at the dried fish in the room, like an emperor looking at his country.

Gu Qiyan and Pei Miao looked at each other, and they saw helplessness in each other's eyes. If they had known that the treasure left by the ancient masters was dried fish, they should go directly to the imperial dining room.

Among the one person and two cats present, Siam was the happiest.

He stared enviously at the dried fish in the room, closed his eyes and took a deep inhalation of the fish fragrance floating in the air, his face intoxicated: "This is the smell, it's so fascinating, it's worthy of being the master of the past. The selected dried fish, even after hundreds of years, still has a strong fragrance."

"Meow...hundreds of years?" Pei Miao's foot went limp, and she almost fell. It's also a miracle that the dried fish has not rotted after hundreds of years.

"That's right, for hundreds of years, the successive national teachers will put the best dried fish they have eaten in their lives here and pass it on to the younger generations. This is the inheritance between the national teachers."

"..." Pei Miao had nothing to fuck.

"Come and see, every piece of dried fish here is top-notch, and it is unique in the world in terms of aroma, color and taste."

Siam looked at the dried fish with pity, and said excitedly: "First of all, the smell, the fishy smell has the aroma of fruit trees. This is because these dried fish are smoked and dried with the top fruit trees and then placed in a cool and ventilated place. Dried in the sun, the dried fish will have a long-lasting fragrance and make cats intoxicated."

"Looking at the shape again, the fish meat is white and delicate, the texture of each piece of meat is clearly visible, even the tail is well preserved, just like it was just made, and the taste..."

As Siam said, he opened his mouth wide and bit down, grunting and biting the dried fish vigorously. After fluttering for a long time, he let go, and licked his two painful little fangs with his tongue, pretending to be calm. She curled her lips and said, "It's a little hard, but the taste is not bad."

Pei Miao looked awkwardly at the piece of dried fish that was said to be "a little" hard, and saw that the piece of dried fish was still motionless after being bitten by Siam for a long time, leaving only two barely visible small teeth marks on the fish. .

"Hahahaha~" Pei Miao laughed wildly, clutching her stomach, almost bursting into tears, rubbed her stomach with her paws and asked Siam, "Whether the previous national teachers left behind dried fish or stones, hard ones can be used as weapons Go hit people, I said how could the dried fish have been preserved for hundreds of years without preservatives, it turned out that they had been air-dried long ago and turned into fossils."

Siam looked embarrassed, glared at Pei Miao, and said, "What do you know? Although these dried fishes have been stored for a long time, they are definitely the best among dried fishes. As a cat, you don't even know that dried fishes are good for you. The meaning of a cat is really embarrassing."

Pei Miao wiped away the tears from laughter, and asked Siam: "Apart from the meaning of eating, what else is the meaning of these dried fish?"

Siam looked at Pei Miao with the eyes of "you are really an idiot" and said, "You should know that the ancestors of our cats came from the desert, where there was a lack of water and no fish. The word "fish" never appeared in the food of our ancestors." Creatures, later our ancestors left the desert and wandered around the world. After getting used to all kinds of delicacies, they tried a new food, that is fish. The delicious taste and delicate meat make all of us Cats are addicted. Since then, our cat family has added fish as a delicacy. The reason why successive national teachers chose dried fish as their treasure is not only because dried fish is their favorite food, but more importantly, Dried fish is a symbol of our cat clan stepping out of the desert and beginning to conquer the world, and it is extremely commemorative." Ghost.

In fact, the national teachers of the past dynasties regarded dried fish as their treasure left by them. There is only one reason, and that is-it is delicious.

While talking, Siam peeked at Pei Miao, and was relieved to see him being bluffed. He jumped onto the window sill, opened his claws boldly, and said with a solemn expression: "The legacy of the national teachers of all ages, whoever takes over as the national teacher , we must protect the mountains and rivers of Dayu and the fish in the pagoda, and pass them on from generation to generation."

Pei Miao: "..."

Emperor Qinglong and his party stood guard outside the pagoda, waiting patiently for the national teacher to come out of the tower. It was not until the sunset that the gate of Miao Pagoda was opened again. Gu Qiyan walked out of the tower with the national teacher in his arms. .

"Your Majesty, His Highness Second Highness and His Majesty the National Teacher have come out."

All the ministers gathered around one after another, and when they got closer, they found that it was not only the second prince and the national teacher who came out of the tower, but also a strange cat behind them. Its four claws are also black. The most distinctive feature is its high and thin tail, which is hooked into a circle at the end.

"Your Highness, what is this?" Eunuch Fu looked at Siam who was following, and asked questions for Emperor Qinglong.

Gu Qiyan was also speechless about this, before he and Pei Miao came out of the tower, this little black face wanted to follow them shamelessly, so he had no choice but to bring him out.

At this moment, when Eunuch Fu asked about it, he had no choice but to say: "This is a cat that I met in the pagoda with the National Teacher. It is quite human. When I saw that he had a good relationship with the National Teacher, I took him out. gone."

"Meet in the pagoda?" Emperor Qinglong's complexion changed, and he looked at Siam deeply.The others present were not clear about Miao Ta's affairs, but as the emperor of Dayu, he had heard some secrets from the late emperor.

Miaota is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for people or things of unknown origin to appear inside. Since this cat will appear inside and will be friendly with the Master of the State Teacher, then the most likely situation is that this cat belongs to Miaota. Guardian beast.

The most important thing is that Emperor Qinglong had seen a portrait of the guardian beast of Miaota given to him by the first emperor before. The cat in it was almost exactly the same as the little black face in front of him. Based on this, he could conclude that this The identity of a little black face.

Unlike the national teacher, the existence of the guardian beast has always been kept secret. Except for a few people in the royal family, no one else knows the existence of the guardian beast.

Emperor Qinglong looked at the little black face in front of him, pondered for a moment and said: "Since he is a friend of the Master of the State Teacher, he should take him to the palace as a guest. I will leave this matter to you, Yan'er."

Gu Qiyan was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Emperor Qinglong to believe his words so easily, when he was wondering, he suddenly noticed the thoughtful look in Emperor Qinglong's eyes when he looked at him, and immediately he understood everything.

Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from his father.

After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Pei Miao returned to the Palace of Yongning, bringing back a little black face at the same time.

As soon as Siam entered the palace, he went crazy, jumping up and down in the Yongning Palace with joy, with his vigorous skills and jumpy personality, he almost broke the Yongning Palace.

Every day, the maids and eunuchs of Yongning Palace can see cats flying over the eaves and walls on the roof, or cats hanging upside down from golden hooks on the curtains. Knowing that Master Guoshi Jitian brought back a "martial arts master" cat, which is so vigorous that it can scare the guards in the palace to tears.

Pei Miao's food and clothing expenses in the palace are all based on the best. Every day, he enjoys eating abalone, ginseng, and Siam, but he gets tired of eating after a few days. He is used to eating raw food in the wild. These well-prepared delicacies feel fresh when you first eat them, but they don't match your taste or stomach after eating for a long time.

In order to thank Pei Miao for his hospitality and also want to improve Pei Miao's diet, Siam specially went to the palace to grab delicious food and sent it to Yongning Hall.

So when Pei Miao woke up the next morning, he received the biggest "surprise" since time travel.

The author has something to say: the grace of the master, no matter how frightened it is, it is still a surprise
