Chapter 21: The Mountain Cat Spirit

  But Xuan Kong closed his eyes and meditated, cultivating a joyful heart, yet unfortunately for the two mountain cats hiding outside the Weimiao Grass Hall.

  Two mountain cats are different from the others, at least one circle larger than their peers, looking heavy and fat, can be called the upgraded version of the mountain cat king. The two mountain cats sneaked around the corner of the wall, one of them biting its nails, sighing:

  "Oh no, what's going on? Xuan Kong has started cultivating again!"

  He pointed to the Upper Clear Divine Thunder surrounding Xuan Kong's body, just as a wisp of black air burst through the sky and was struck by the divine thunder, immediately turning into green smoke that dispersed.

  Another mountain cat was also in a daze: "The young master's magical powers have made progress again."

  The mountain cat that spoke earlier drew a line on the other mountain cat's face with its paw: "You fool, Master Fa's powers have improved, how can we go back and explain to King Shanxiao?" These two mountain cats were once subdued by One-Browed Daoist and used to protect Xiao Bai and Xiao Hua when they were young.

  Later, Xuán Kōng himself obtained the law, and these two mountain cat spirits were laid off. It is said that a new mountain demon king has moved to the depths of Láo Shān, and it didn't take much effort for them to hook up with the mountain demon king's subordinates, promising some benefits, and the two mountain cat spirits were easily lured away by the mountain demon king.

  Now he has received the order of the Great King of Mountain Goblin, and is ordered to invite Xuankong to his cave for a chat.

  As I gaze at the moon in the middle of the sky, three watches have passed, and the two mountain cat spirits are still hiding in the corner of the wall outside the door, not daring to set foot in the Weimiao Hall.

  After a great deal of effort, Xuan Kong had transported the Xuan Gong seventy-seven times forty-nine times, and he felt that his eight extraordinary meridians were all filled with true energy transformed from spiritual energy. Only then did he slowly adjust his breathing and withdraw his technique. His consciousness gradually cleared, and soon he discovered those two mountain cat spirits walking one step forward and retreating two steps at the door.

  With a sweep of his divine sense over the two mountain cat spirits, he discovered that they were old acquaintances. Xu Kong's mouth twitched upwards, but instead of exposing them, he condensed his divine sense into a needle and jabbed it fiercely onto one of the mountain cat spirit's buttocks.

  "Ah!" The mountain cat spirit suddenly covered its buttocks and jumped up, fearing that it would wake up the Xuan Kong who was meditating on the wooden bed, and quickly stretched out its hand to cover its mouth.

  "What's wrong with you?" Another mountain cat spirit looked at its companion in confusion.

  "This mountain cat spirit entwined and said: 'Why did you poke my butt?'"

  Another mountain cat spirit, innocent and unrelated, spread its hands and said: "No, don't drag this out, hurry up and think of a way to invite Young Master Xuan Kong to the Great King's place, that's the proper thing to do!"

  In the depths of his heart, there was a sense of joy. The expressions on the faces of these two mountain cats were truly rich. How come he hadn't discovered their potential to rival Garfield when he was younger? "And what about some big king?" Xuan Kong felt that the two mountain cat spirits didn't have any hostile intentions towards him, and he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.

  However, going back to what was said earlier, if the great king wanted to deal with Xu Kong, it's impossible that he would send these two mountain spirit cats who only know how to be funny.

  With a mind made up, Xuan Kong still pretended to be in a meditative state, secretly using his divine consciousness to transform into a palm and slap the other mountain cat's face fiercely. Xuan Kong had the idea of punishing them for sneaking into his thatched cottage, so this slap was a bit forceful, and with one palm, he slapped the mountain cat from the doorway to outside the door.

  "Meow!" The mountain cat let out a painful cry, like a mouse that had its tail stepped on, and raised its two front paws like a boxer, jumping up and down on the ground.

  This time it was the mountain cat spirit who got poked in the butt and became dissatisfied: "What's wrong with you?"

  The mountain cat spirit whose mouth was slapped angrily said: "Why did you slap me?"

  Another mountain cat spirit curiously asked, "I'm fine, why are you teasing me?" After speaking, it ignored its companion and continued to move its lower body towards the wooden bed in front of Xu Kong, little by little. Xu Kong looked at its raised buttocks, this posture was really too cool.

  He secretly laughed so hard that his belly hurt, and he transformed his divine consciousness into a large foot, which lightly kicked the mountain cat's plump buttocks.

  That mountain spirit was originally advancing with trepidation, but suddenly got kicked to the ground from behind. Unwilling to accept this, it turned around and rushed out to give a swipe of its paw at the mountain spirit outside the door: "What right do you have to kick me?!"

  The mountain cat spirit outside the door looked puzzled and said, "When did I kick you?"

  The kicked mountain cat spirit angrily said: "I was opening the way in front, wasn't it you who kicked me? Is there someone else?"

  The mountain cat spirit outside the door said innocently: "I'm at the door..."

  The two mountain cat spirits suddenly calmed down, looked at each other and said: "It can't be him, right?" They quickly turned their heads to look at Xuan Kong who was still sitting cross-legged on the wooden bench, fortunately he was still in meditation and hadn't been startled awake by them. Moreover, what surprised them was that the Upper Clear Divine Thunder that had originally surrounded Xuan Kong's body had all been withdrawn.

  Two mountain cat spirits sat on the ground, rubbing their chubby faces with their front paws, encouraging each other to successfully approach Xuan Kong this time.

  Seeing them two shirking responsibility and neither daring to make a move, Xuan Kong burst out laughing.

  It seems that the memories left in these two mountain cats during their childhood are still very profound.

  The two mountain cats finally reached an agreement and stood up from the ground, rubbing against the wooden bed frame of Xu Kong. This time, nothing else happened. The two cats rubbed against Xu Kong's body, looked at each other, and used their hind legs to support themselves, lifting their front paws and holding up the bed board that was attached to Xu Kong.

  Xuán Kōng's body was light, and the bed board didn't have much weight either.

  But for two mountain cats, it was unbearable. They only saw that in the middle of the night, when the moonlight on the horizon was bright, a bed board was mysteriously floating in mid-air, with a slender young man wearing a Taoist robe sitting cross-legged on top of it, and under the bed board, four cat paws stretched out, shaking and carrying the bed board forward.

  Luckily it was in the back mountain of Laoshan, if someone saw it, I would have to report a crime of animal abuse to Xuan Kong.

  However, considering this is the Song Dynasty and these two mountain cats are also spirits, it's likely that this lawsuit will be difficult to win.

  "Well-behaved grandsons, it's good that you know how to show filial piety to Grandpa me!" Xuan Kong sat on the bed board, on the one hand curious about these two mountain cat spirits who were bold and daring enough to come and move him. On the other hand, he was honestly and unceremoniously enjoying the mountain cat sedan that ordinary people couldn't enjoy.

  In the middle of the night, a gentle breeze blew, and Xuan Kong felt very comfortable, so he simply started snoring away. However, two mountain cat spirits were pitifully carrying Xuan Kong's wooden bed board with their small paws raised high, perhaps because it was too heavy, they walked unsteadily, stopping and starting along the way.

  The mountain cat in front walked while recognizing the road, still complaining with its mouth: "Use some strength, I'm almost being crushed to death!" The mountain cat behind was not to be outdone, angrily saying: "I'm being pressed so hard that I almost want to vomit up my dinner, don't think I don't know, you stole and ate my dried mouse yesterday morning."

  No wonder the two mountain cats looked plump and round, it turns out they also knew the good habit of storing food.

  They walked for more than half a watch, from the back of Laoshan Mountain to the waist of the mountain. In fact, they were not far from the village where Xuan Kong and others subdued the female corpse. They saw a cave. The entrance of the cave was not big, but as they walked in, it suddenly became bright and spacious. The interior of the cave was illuminated by torches, shining brightly.
