You can't afford to hurt a man wearing an anti-theft badge

After the foundation building period, Zhao Ritian and Long Aotian can formally start retreat practice. The so-called retreat practice is to concentrate on breaking through the realm within a period of time, which requires a lot of spiritual power assistance. Generally, they will choose a place like the Paradise of Heaven and Earth where the essence of heaven and earth gathers. The Liuli Huafeng discovered by the three of them by accident is just such a good place.

"Master, shall we start retreating immediately?" Zhao Ritian excitedly said, he has a strong curiosity about all new things.

"Don't be in a hurry, read these books first, learn how to operate your true energy, and how to improve your cultivation." Saturday picked up a stack of books and put them on the table. Because the books were too heavy, there was a "dong" sound ring.

Zhao Ritian was taken aback, and immediately showed embarrassment: "This...is this too much?"

Saturday smiled and said: "Where are there too many? Aotian has finished reading all of them."

Zhao Ritian pouted, feeling unhappy again. It sounds like his training method is not as good as Long Aotian's. Although Long Aotian stays at home, he has already learned the following skills, and he just It's just climbing up and down the mountain, and it's useless to have developed limbs.

Seeing Zhao Ritian was unhappy on Saturday, thinking he hated reading, so he sat down and said patiently: "If you don't like reading, I can tell you."

Zhao Ritian is still pouted, but his mood is a little better. At least he has the personal guidance of his master. Long Aotian can't get this. Unknowingly, Zhao Ritian's dependence on Saturday has reached a deep level. Degree.

"After Aotian retreats, I can teach you with all my strength." Saturday smiled and touched Zhao Ritian's burly head.

Only then did Zhao Ritian put away his pouty mouth: "Isn't Long Aotian one step ahead of me... Anyway, it's unfair, master, you must teach me more private things."

Saturday smiled and agreed: "Yeah."

This scene was seen by Long Aotian passing by the door, Long Aotian just paused for a moment, then walked away quickly.

In the evening, on Saturday, holding the yellow cat, I came to the small town at the foot of the mountain.

In front of the gate of the orphanage, I stood for a long time on Saturday.

It was the time of day for dinner, and the children were all sitting in the yard, waiting for dinner to be served.

The dean was sitting on one of the steps, and put a small bowl of cat food on the ground. There was already a group of wild cats around his feet. There were all kinds of colors, and the most common ones were yellow cats and brown striped cats.

Xiao Huang in Saturday's arms seemed to be aware of something, staring at Saturday with deep eyes.

"If both Ritian and Aotian retreat, I will also retreat to guide and protect them. In that way, no one will take care of you." Saturday explained, for some reason, he was a little afraid to look Xiao Huang in the eye .

"Put you here, okay?" Saturday raised his hand, wanting to touch the top of Xiao Huang's head, but Xiao Huang tilted his head impatiently, avoiding Saturday's hand, and if Saturday wanted to touch it again, it He kicked Saturday vigorously with his two front paws, twisted himself and jumped off the ground, squatted in the middle of the yard, and stared coldly at Saturday with his big black eyes.

I don't know why, but Saturday always feels like he has committed a heinous crime, but he can't raise Xiao Huang anymore. If he retreats, it may be ten years, or it may be longer...

There is no one to take care of Xiao Huang, so Saturday is not at ease, but even if Xiao Huang is handed over to someone who is safe, Saturday is still reluctant.

Immortal cultivators are always lonely and do not like to contact with the world. One reason is that the lifespan of ordinary people is too short. Compared with those who cultivate immortals, it takes ten or a hundred years to retreat. Their life span is too short. The first time I left the customs, the group of people in the town had changed, and there were no familiar faces anymore.

As a cat, Xiao Huang's lifespan is shorter than that of a human, only 20 years...

That's why, never keep it with you on Saturday.

Even if Xiao Huang can find food by himself, the three masters and apprentices after the retreat will not be able to see it again. Instead of being selfish and keeping him by his side, it is better to let him be with other cats in the small town, free and happy every day, There are also people who feed and live comfortably.

Thinking of this, Saturday made up his mind and stopped going to see Xiao Huang.

After explaining to the dean about taking care of Xiao Huang, he quickly walked out of the orphanage on Saturday.

When he got to the door, he stopped again, all the past came to mind, thinking of Xiao Huang's usual cute and cute appearance, he couldn't help but look back.

——But Xiao Huang was facing him with his buttocks, drinking the water in the basin intently.

... Sure enough, he must have thought too much, Xiao Huang actually didn't care that much...

Saturday sighed, turned his head, and walked up the mountain.

This retreat, half a year has passed, and it is time for spring to bloom again.

When he woke up from the retreat state on Saturday, he realized that Long Aotian had left the retreat first, and worried that his cultivation would not go well, so he woke up too, while Zhao Ritian was still concentrating on his cultivation, and he did not disturb him on Saturday, so he drew the conclusion After the border, he went out.

"Master, I want to go down the mountain to buy something." Long Aotian said to Saturday.

"What to buy?" Saturday wondered.

"Treasures to assist cultivation." Long Aotian said, "The grades in my hand are not good enough, and they are useless now. To continue to cultivate, we need more powerful treasures."

"Do you have to use treasures to assist?" Saturday asked.

There seemed to be a sneering smile on the corner of Long Aotian's mouth, but it disappeared in a flash. On Saturday, he was not sure if he had hallucinations. Long Aotian said lightly: "Do more with less, why not do it? Master also wants me Overcome the thunder calamity as soon as possible, and cultivate into a golden core, right?"

He didn't know what to say on Saturday, he really hoped that Long Aotian would overcome the thunder disaster as soon as possible and cultivate into a golden core, but he didn't want Long Aotian to make any mistakes in the process of crossing the catastrophe.

Not only because Long Aotian is the person he must take care of to accomplish his goal, but also because, after getting along for a long time, he has an inexplicable feeling of pity for this particularly precocious young man.

Therefore, he can't directly attack Long Aotian's thoughts like he did to Zhao Ritian—although nothing has gone wrong so far, it is not good for cultivation to pin his hopes on the treasures of heaven and earth. could cause more serious problems.

"I'll go with you," said Saturday.

"That's unnecessary," Long Aotian said, "Isn't Master going to protect the younger brother?"

Saturday smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. I have already drawn an enchantment, which is enough to protect him safe and sound. Even if there is any change, I will remind me as soon as possible."

"So that's how it is. Master's magical technique is profound and unpredictable. Can Master pass on this enchantment technique to me?" Long Aotian asked.

"Of course." Saturday nodded and said, "When we come back from the town, we will go to the small building, and I will show you the book."

"Thank you, Master." Only then did Long Aotian show some joy.

The two went down the mountain and came to a pawn shop.

Long Aotian didn't shy away from it, he took out the thimble in front of Saturday and handed it to the owner of the pawn shop, when the owner saw the thimble, he immediately smiled and said: "Oh, Master Long, are you here to pick up the spirit stone again this time? "

I was surprised to see it on Saturday, and wondered in my heart, isn't that thimble a relic of Long Aotian's mother? It looks very ordinary, and it can be exchanged for spirit stones in a pawnshop?

Long Aotian tilted his head slightly, glanced at Saturday, and said: "Master, do you suspect that I am lying?"

On Saturday, he really had doubts, but Long Aotian pointed it out directly, and he was afraid of hurting Long Aotian, so he said: "No, it's just strange that your mother's relics can be exchanged for spirit stones."

"Either what I do with it, I don't have any impression of my mother." Long Aotian said indifferently, as if it should be taken for granted, if it is useful, keep it, and if it is useless, throw it away.

I feel a little uncomfortable on Saturday, but this is Long Aotian's family business after all: "I see."

Long Aotian didn't say anything more, followed the boss in, took out a bag of spirit stones, went to the back of the Xinghualou, and met with the traveling merchant, the two talked about the price for a long time.

On Saturday, there was one thing in mind, so he told Long Aotian to go and come as soon as he said, and then he went straight to the direction of the orphanage.

Searching around the yard, he saw a few yellow cats that looked like Xiao Huang, but none of them could be completely sure on Saturday, so he went in and asked where the dean was.

"The dean has gone out for a while." A child said.

When I heard about it on Saturday, I had to give up, and looked at the yellow cats playing in the porch again, and found that none of their eyes were black...no little yellow.

Where did Xiao Huang go?

But cats naturally love to run around, maybe not in the front yard.

On Saturday, he went back to the Xinghua Building with regret, and met Long Aotian. Long Aotian had obviously bought the magic weapon he wanted, and the two went to the small building on the mountain.

Return to the former residence.

Although it has only been half a year, there is already a thick layer of dust in the small building, and the quilt is also somewhat moldy. It will take a lot of effort to clean it up.The simple thatched shed in the backyard was crushed by the snow or blown away by the wind, and fell to the ground.The spring grass in the yard has grown a lot.

On Saturday, I went up to the second floor to pick up the books, walked over the steps, and when I opened the door, I heard a light "boom" on the floor, as if something alive was hidden inside.

Dazed on Saturday, he stood in front of the door and looked around the room, only to see that the desk was covered with small black paw prints that the kitten had stepped on.

"...Xiao Huang?" Saturday tried to call out.

In the pile of books in the corner, there was a friction sound, but the cat did not agree.

Walking over on Saturday, he saw an orange figure flashing through the gaps in the books. He felt as if his heart was pricked. He walked over lightly and took out a fluffy meatball from the pile of books.

"Little Huang, why are you back?" Looking at those big black eyes on Saturday, he felt sore.

But the yellow cat didn't even look at Saturday, and resolutely turned its head aside.

"Little Huang, you've lost weight..." Saturday said softly.

The yellow cat's heavy body slid halfway down.
