Inside Huoyun Temple.
In the lobby, there is the familiar incense table and the statue of the ancestor.
Yaoyao frowned and looked at the person in front of him and said, "Master Qingyun, what happened? Why are you looking for me so anxiously?"
She also stressed that it couldn't be said on the phone, which was why she rushed over in a hurry.
Because from the tone of my uncle-master, it doesn't sound like there is any time to delay.
Yaoyao was afraid that something really might happen. After all, with his uncle's level of cultivation, if something happened, he would have no way to solve it.
"I can't explain it either, you... you... you can see for yourself."
Qingyun looked at the confusion in his beloved nephew's expression and opened his mouth to explain.
But he didn't know where to start, so he thought about it and simply walked to the side, and with a rustle, he tore off a piece of red cloth.
I saw a square iron cage protruding from below, and inside the cage, there was a small animal the size of a palm squatting.
It is shaped like an leopard cat, but has two small fleshy horns on its forehead and a pair of round eyes that are a rare crimson purple color.
"Meow~" As if sensing the probing gaze, it arched its whole body, revealing a mouthful of sharp little teeth.
However, it didn't dare to go forward because there was a yellow talisman stuck on the cage. It had been hurt by this power, so it didn't dare to touch it.
"How can a lynx with intelligence be so small?"
Yaoyao has read a lot of books, so he recognized the origins of the things in the cage at once.
Because he guessed it, he immediately knew why his uncle said something happened, because the lynx in front of him was too talented.
In this Dharma-Ending Age, many animals are unable to practice cultivation, let alone be born with spiritual intelligence.
The only possibility is bloodline. If nothing unexpected happens, its parents should be outstanding spirits who have practiced cultivation in the mountains and forests.
This little lynx has an injury on its foot. The master is afraid that its parents will come and come looking for it, and the master won’t be able to handle it!
"I didn't hurt it. It was it that wanted to steal the eggs in the yard and was pecked by the yellow dog."
When Qingyun saw people's puzzled eyes, he waved his hands anxiously.
The Dahuang he mentioned was a hen raised in the Huoyun Temple, which was exceptionally pretty.
In order to help it lay good eggs, the master would catch insects and feed them to it when he had nothing to do. Therefore, Dahuang is much more capable than ordinary poultry.
As luck would have it, this little lynx was stealing the eggs of the monkey and was caught by the protective big yellow cat, so it naturally got into trouble.
"If I hadn't arrived in time, this little lynx might have been pecked to death by the big yellow cat."
When Qingyun said this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Because if this little monster really died in the Taoist temple, with the amulet given by the precious nephew, there is no need to worry about anyone losing their life.
However, having provoked the two monsters, it would not be easy for the Taoist temple to maintain peace.
As for Huoyun Temple, it makes money from incense offerings and has to rely on pilgrims, so it would be best if there were not too many complications.
But as country monsters, they definitely bully the weak and fear the strong.
Qingyun was afraid that he couldn't control the situation, so he called his nephew back.
"I understand. I'll accompany you tonight!" Yaoyao smiled mischievously.
This made Qingyun feel a little embarrassed.
You have to know that in other sects, the elders support the younger ones, but in their Huoyun Temple, it's the other way around.
Qingyun thought to himself that he was thick-skinned enough, but he still couldn't help feeling a little hot.
Yaoyao didn't pay attention to her master's little awkwardness. In fact, that was all she needed to know.
......
Because he hadn't slept in the Taoist temple for a long time, Yaoyao was a little excited and ran all over the mountain.
When I was tired of running, I came back to rest.
Her room was still the same as before, but her uncle would tidy up the bed covers every week so that it would never get dusty no matter where she lived.
In the evening, we had the vegetarian meal prepared by the uncle-master. Since the Taoist temple had money at the moment, they naturally did not control the quantity of the food.
Yaoyao enjoyed her meal very much; she was not picky about food.
This made Qingyun feel relieved. After all, his nephew was at the Gu family, eating delicacies from land and sea every day, and he was afraid that what he cooked would not suit his taste.
"Uncle Master, don't be nervous. If we can reach an agreement, then we'll negotiate. If we can't, then we'll arrest everyone!"
As it got closer to night, Yaoyao could feel Master's nervousness and her soft comfort.
There was a gleam of seriousness in those big eyes. This was what the old Taoist priest had said: if he doesn't want to eat the soft food, then treat him to the hard food.
"Okay, Master, I'll listen to you." Qingyun was stunned for a moment and suddenly became curious.
What exactly did his fellow apprentice teach him? Why did he always feel that his nephew was learning something unconventional?
At night, the little lynx's parents did come to the door.
Their size is more like wolf cubs than cats. After seeing the little lynx in Yaoyao's hands.
One of them suddenly arched its back and let out a low growl from its throat, actually issuing a warning.
"Don't scream!" Yaoyao frowned. She didn't like this way of communicating, so she raised her hand and whipped him.
With a snap
The whip shadow condensed by spiritual power lashed at the threatening male lynx as fast as lightning.
The latter screamed and flew backwards. After falling to the ground, he made a painful "woohoo" sound.
"Can you listen to me now?"
Yaoyao blinked her beautiful big eyes and spoke in a baby voice.
"Woo woo" The two lynxes also realized that the little baby in front of them was actually a piece of iron plate.
Not only can they not defeat him, but their own children are still in the latter's hands. Those who can cultivate Taoism nowadays are not brainless fools.
The two lynxes very tactfully calmed down, and were so well behaved that Qingyun, who was standing by, saw her eyelids twitching wildly.
What my nephew did looked a bit violent, but I didn’t know why, but it was quite exciting!
On the other side, Yaoyao had already begun to enumerate the major crimes of the lynx cub in his hand.
"Stealing the eggs from Huoyun Temple was my first mistake; calling you here to threaten my uncle was my second mistake...
"You will be punished for multiple crimes. If you want to take your child back, you must show some sincerity to redeem him."
After hearing all this, the two lynxes were dumbfounded. This was completely different from what they had expected before they came!
Why do I have to pay the fine when I come to pick up my son by myself?
They subconsciously wanted to refute, but when they saw those sparkling eyes, they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.
Especially the male lynx, the severe pain on its back was still reminding it not to try to provoke the person in front of it.
"Woo woo woo~" The two lynxes looked at each other as if they had agreed on something.
The uninjured female lynx turned around and ran out of the Taoist temple, which Qingyun found somewhat surprising.
After a while, the female lynx came back with a piece of fat Polygonum multiflorum in its mouth.
It walked up to it, put the Polygonum multiflorum on the ground, and whimpered a few times.
Obviously, it wanted to use Polygonum multiflorum as a ransom for the child.
Yaoyao took a quick look and found that this piece of blackbird was quite old and was of good quality. She immediately smiled.
She kept her promise and returned the little lynx.
"Don't come and steal eggs again. You may not be so lucky next time and meet my uncle who saved you."
Looking at the other party's confused and naive look, Yaoyao explained in a soft voice.
The reason why this is unnecessary is that this little lynx has a scar between its eyebrows.
If it listened to me, maybe it could save its life, but if it didn't, there would be nothing it could do about it dying.
After all, some disasters have to be overcome by yourself.
