Holding White Ghost in her arms, Zhao Layue followed Jing Jiu into the grand hall.
It was spacious inside the grand hall. The floor was made of green jade, carved with complicated patterns by some unknown method, glowing and exuding a faint energy of the formation.
Outside the Green Stone Formation, there was a row of platforms as high as half a man, also made of green jade, with all kinds of jade bottles placed on the platforms.
Zhao Layue guessed that these jade bottles should contain the materials that needed to be nurtured by the power of thunder, and they would be sent to Shiyue Peak after a while to be made into various magic pills.
Normally, she would check the labels on the jade bottles like Jing Jiu did, but now she focused all her attention on her own chest.
In the words she had told Jing Jiu, she was very fierce, and everybody knew that she was very bold. But she felt very uneasy at the moment.
The white cat in her arms didn't move, but she felt like she was holding a large mountain or a puff of smoke.
To put it more accurately, she felt like she was holding the memorial tablet of the grandmasters of Aoyama.
Her arms were stiff, and her steps were heavy. She asked Jing Jiu, "What are we doing here?"
White Ghost opened his eyes and glanced at her, thinking that the Aoyama Sect was getting worse with each generation. They looked good, but how could they be so stupid?
"Since we are going to take it away, we have to take the Thunder-Soul Wood with us."
Having said that, Jing Jiu walked toward the center of the green stone ground.
The Green Stone Formation sensed something and started rotating automatically. The ground bulged up slightly, and a stone platform rose up.
A few ceramic plates were placed on the stone platform, and on the plates were some blackened objects. Judging from the vaguely discernible texture of the objects, they should be wood.
These were the precious treasures of Aoyama, the Thunder-Soul Wood.
The Thunder-Soul Wood was the heart of an ancient tree that had sunk in the depths of the Giant Whirlpool. It had been soaked in seawater for innumerable years and washed by the pressure of the Giant Whirlpool for innumerable years. Then, it was retrieved by the strong practitioners of the Reaching Heaven State of the Aoyama Sect. Then, it was placed on the top of Bihu Peak to withstand the power of thunder and lightning. It took five hundred years for it to mature and become the legendary Thunder-Soul Wood.
The Aoyama Sect had been established for ten thousand years, and the number of Thunder-Soul Woods was extremely limited. Some of them were scattered, and two of them were taken away a few years ago. Now, there were only six pieces left, and one of them had not matured yet, so it needed to be left here to withstand the lightning strikes.
Jing Jiu put away the five pieces of Thunder-Soul Wood and turned around to look at Zhao Layue. He noticed that the way she hugged the cat was very stiff, as if she was facing a great enemy. He couldn't help but laugh and say, "Relax a bit, you can touch it, it likes it like this."
Zhao Layue said nervously, "I've never had a cat before. I don't know how to pet it."
Jing Jiu said, "Just like how I touched your head."
Zhao Layue was taken aback for a moment, recalling the feeling she usually had. She put her hand on the White Ghost gingerly and started to stroke it.
Along with her movement, the White Ghost's eyes gradually narrowed, and it let out a deep snoring sound.
Zhao Layue felt a bit uneasy, asking Jing Jiu with her eyes if it was a sign that the White Ghost was about to get angry.
Jing Jiu said, "It's very comfortable."
…
…
After receiving the report from his disciple, Chen Youtian knew that Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue had already left by riding the sword, so he asked, "What did they do?"
The disciple said shamefully, "I didn't follow them. I don't know where they went later."
Chen Youtian asked with furrowed brows, "Did anything change in the peak?"
The disciple shook his head and said, "Nothing."
Chen Youtian felt it strange, thinking that one had just come back from the snowland, and the other had just entered the State of Free Travel. What were they going to do by coming to Bihu Peak at this time?
Even if they thought the scenery here was beautiful, why were they in such a hurry?
He couldn't figure it out, and he felt frustrated, as if he had missed something.
…
…
The Thoughtless Sword landed on the peak top, dimming the dusk.
Gu Qing and Yuan Qu looked at the white cat in Zhao Layue's arms in surprise, wondering where the two masters had brought this pet here.
There were countless rare birds and animals in the peaks of Aoyama, but cats and dogs, which were commonly seen in the mortal world, were rarely seen.
Yuan Qu approached curiously. Seeing that the white cat had its eyes closed and looked very obedient, he reached out his hand to pet it.
Jing Jiu glanced at him.
Yuan Qu felt as if the back of his hand had been pricked by a needle, so he drew his hand back hastily, but he misunderstood.
Gu Qing found the problem, because Zhao Layue was holding the cat in a very stiff posture, and she looked a bit nervous, as if she were facing a formidable enemy.
If it were an ordinary house cat, how could she show such an expression?
Zhao Layue walked into the manor cave with the cat in her arms.
Gu Qing asked anxiously, "Master, what is this?"
Jing Jiu said, "Don't tell anyone else."
Yuan Qu realized that there was something wrong with the white cat's background, so he agreed immediately.
Jing Jiu told him the true identity of the white cat.
Gu Qing was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and Yuan Qu covered his mouth tightly with his hands to prevent himself from screaming.
The two masters had brought the Principal Guard back!
If the masters of the peaks of Aoyama knew about this, there would be a lot of trouble.
Gu Qing suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed slightly. He ran into the manor cave in a hurry.
Yuan Qu also thought of something, so he shouted and ran into the manor cave.
…
…
The bloody scene they were worried about didn't appear in the depths of the manor cave.
But the current scene was a bit weird.
Zhao Layue stood by the bed, her eyes wide open.
The white cat was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly with its eyes closed.
That snow beetle named Cold Cicada was lying on its head for some reason. Sensei was trembling, and she was so terrified that she was about to pass out.
Cold Cicada didn't dare to grab the cat's hair, so it slid down like a stone after a while.
The white cat picked it up with its furry paw and put it back on its head, without even opening its eyes.
What did it mean? Was it going to use this little monster of the Snowy Kingdom as a bow?
…
…
"Will the Principal Guard feel cold sleeping on the cold jade bed?" “
"It should be fine if it's cold, but it's a bit hard."
"Yeah, should we go and make a nest?"
"What does the Principal Guard eat?"
Yuan Qu was still in shock, his voice trembling. Even Gu Qing was in a trance.
They had heard of the Principal Guard of Aoyama, but they had never thought they could see the legendary divine beast guarding the mountains, and it seemed that they would live together in the future.
Not to mention that the most mysterious and dreadful White Ghost was actually a cat.
It was beyond their imagination.
Gu Qing asked doubtfully, "Master, are you sure?"
"That's right," said Jing Jiu. "You can call him Liu Ada."
Gu Qing and Yuan Qu eyed each other, as they thought that they didn't dare call the Principal Guard so.
Also, where did Liu Ada's rustic name come from?
"The Master White Ghost is not a ghost, but a cat. Is the Master Dark Phoenix not a phoenix?"
Yuan Qu asked reflexively.
"It's a chicken," said Jing Jiu.
Hearing this name, Zhao Layue thought of the small green bamboo board, her expression changing slightly, wondering if you call it the Devil Chicken. "
Yuan Qu found it hard to believe, and couldn't speak for a long time.
Gu Qing asked, "Does the Master Round Turtle have another true form?"
