Chapter 205 Cats and Dogs
This big yellow dog has lived for at least three hundred years.
Are there really canine creatures in this world that can live this long?
The three were slightly surprised, but quickly accepted it.
Chu Miaomiao patted the big yellow dog's head and asked, "Is this your home?"
The big yellow dog barked, clearly in response.
Chu Miaomiao then asked, "Where are your master, your family?"
The big yellow dog whimpered, its eyes filled with sorrow, clearly reminding it of some unpleasant memories.
"Woof woof woof!"
The next moment, it barked three times at the three of them, and then leaped off the hundred-meter-high cliff.
The three of them went forward and saw that the big yellow dog had landed steadily on the ground and was looking back at them, barking as if to signal them to follow it.
The three returned to the ground and followed the big yellow dog, traversing through the stone forest. They arrived at a dense jungle, one of the few green forests in the vicinity.
They entered a very secluded cave.
As soon as they entered, they saw a skinny tabby cat run out of the woods and jump onto the big yellow dog's back.
Clearly, this tabby cat was no ordinary cat; the three of them sensed a strong spirituality emanating from it.
Upon seeing the three people, the tabby cat immediately meowed, its eyes widening with a look of affection and excitement, as if it had seen familiar faces.
It jumped off the big yellow dog's back, came to Chu Miaomiao's feet, and stretched out its paw to tug at Chu Miaomiao's trouser leg.
The three were wary, but did not sense any hostility.
Chu Miaomiao squatted down and picked up the tabby cat.
The tabby cat immediately started meowing, its eyes clear and intelligent, constantly scanning the three of them.
The big yellow dog sat on the ground and wagged its tail at the three of them.
Ye Mo said to Da Huang, "Do you want to come with us?"
The big yellow dog looked melancholy and whimpered, clearly reluctant to leave this place, but finally nodded.
Chen Qinglan said, "Dahuang, do you know where Senior Yancang's cave is? If you do, please take us there to find it. We're not here to destroy anything."
The big yellow dog whimpered and nodded.
Then, he led the three of them, along with the tabby cat, to find the true cave of the Iwakura monk.
On an even more majestic mountain, hundreds of meters high, such a place clearly has excellent feng shui, exuding grandeur and magnificence.
Dahuang led them up the mountain, dug out a cave entrance, and walked in. Inside, a hidden paradise was revealed.
The three of them followed the passageway into the gate.
The space here is large, and the rooms are clearly defined.
As the three entered, the surrounding scenery suddenly became brighter, and their vision became clear.
The owner of this cave was a cultivator named Yancang, who was once a beast tamer and array master.
Furthermore, this cave has never been discovered before.
So many years have passed, yet the layout inside remains unchanged, and even the environment has not been damaged at all, just as it was hundreds of years ago.
When they entered the hall, instead of rushing to find various relics and scriptures, they bowed and worshipped a portrait on the wall of the hall.
The portrait was vivid and lifelike. It depicted not one person, but a pair, a man and a woman. The man was handsome and dashing, while the woman was beautiful and elegant. They were nestled together, looking very much in love.
This is a monk couple.
The big yellow dog barked twice at the portrait, seemingly heading towards the monk named Iwakura.
The three explained their purpose to the portrait of the monk Iwakura, and then began searching for some ancient scriptures.
Soon, they found a wooden box.
They found many scriptures inside.
It is of great value to them for cultivation, as it contains information related to beast taming and the creation of magic arrays. This cultivator's expertise in this area is very high.
They then found an autobiography.
The characters above are dignified and elegant, with flowing strokes that convey a grand and majestic spirit, making it immediately recognizable as ancient Chinese characters.
The deciphered content is roughly as follows: "Iwakura, whose real name is Liu Menghao and whose friends call him Liu Dazhu, is a native of Blue Star. He was born in the 402nd year of the New Immortal Calendar (2538). His ancestral home is Chuncheng in Zhongzhou. He moved to the Red Earth with his ancestors to explore and transform the Red Earth. He gave birth to many spirits, led a yellow dog on the left and held a hawk on the right. At the age of eighteen, he condensed his core. When he encountered a dragon demon causing chaos, he teamed up with Shen Qing, a gentleman of the Daoist path of magic arrays. The couple fought against it together and learned magic arrays. At the age of fifty, he gathered his infant and cultivated the Great Heaven Myriad Laws. He mastered the two paths of beast control and magic arrays. He created dozens of books such as the Red Heaven Beast Control Scripture and the Creation Method Origin. Later, he fought against the dragon clan for more than eighty years."
The autobiography is incomplete, containing only partial records, and what became of this monk remains unknown to posterity.
A large number of scriptures about beast taming and magic arrays have been left here.
Ye Mo and the other two quickly glanced at the scriptures.
Afterwards, they put all the scriptures back into the box.
These scriptures are still well preserved.
Then they came to the portrait.
He bowed deeply to the monk couple in the portrait.
"Seniors, we intend to take these scriptures back to our ancestral homeland in China, so that the immortals, who have been shrouded in darkness, can learn cultivation, sweep away the obscuring dust from them, and achieve the revival of the immortal race. We will carry forward what you have left behind!"
Then, they looked at the big yellow dog.
Big Yellow understood what they meant and barked.
Ye Mo and the other two sorted the boxes containing the scriptures and put them into their storage rings, taking everything they could with them.
"Big Yellow, do you want to come with us?"
Finally, Chu Miaomiao stepped forward and patted Da Huang's head. Da Huang whimpered and looked reluctantly at the portrait.
Just then, the portrait began to glow.
The three were astonished. Was this a miracle?
They immediately bowed deeply to the portrait.
Then, the portrait began to disintegrate, turning into countless points of light, and the entire portrait vanished into the void. Immediately afterward, the light inside the entire cave also disappeared, suddenly turning pitch black, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.
Ye Mo opened his palm, and a burst of true fire rose up, illuminating the surroundings.
The big yellow dog barked three times at the air.
Then it got up and came to the three of them.
Chu Miaomiao asked, "Would you like to come with us?"
The big yellow dog nodded, and the tabby cat also climbed onto the big yellow dog's back, meowing a few times at the three of them.
The three eventually left with a dog, a cat, and a large number of boxes filled with scriptures. However, they did not return to China but continued to explore ancient ruins on the red soil of Australia. They discovered many traces of the existence of immortal cultivators, but many places had been destroyed by the official government of the small Australian country.
On this day, they left the inland red soil and stopped in a coastal city in Australia.
Chu Miaomiao picked up the docile tabby cat and asked, "Little kitty, do you have a name?"
The tabby cat meowed and shook its head repeatedly.
It can understand what they say; it's very intelligent.
Chu Miaomiao said, "How about I give you a name?"
The tabby cat nodded repeatedly, its eyes filled with joy.
Chu Miaomiao said, "Seeing how thin you are, let's give you the opposite name. How about we call you Winter Melon? Hopefully, you'll grow a little plumper and rounder in the future!"
The tabby cat meowed contentedly.
Chu Miaomiao turned around and said to the big yellow dog, "As for you, let's call you Cucumber."
Big Yellow barked twice.
The three of them were walking down the street.
Many people cast strange glances at them.
Not only were the three of them dressed in distinctive, flowing robes that immediately revealed their origins from the mysterious and ancient East, but their physical features were also striking. They were handsome, dignified, and elegant; the man was as handsome and martial as a god, and the woman as ethereal as a banished fairy. Their extraordinary and otherworldly aura, especially considering their Chinese features, made it hard not to attract attention.
Soon, some locals came up to chat with them.
A burly, fair-skinned Australian man approached them, emanating an unusual odor, and spoke to them in fluent Mandarin.
The three of them roughly deduced what it meant: the man was interested in the winter melon in Chu Miaomiao's arms.
Chu Miaomiao was rude: "What are you babbling about? Stand aside and don't block our way!"
"Woof woof woof!"
The big yellow dog barked, its throat growling, its eyes fierce, as if it had turned into a wolf, full of hostility towards the indigenous man.
The indigenous man was dressed in a black suit, with curly blond hair, white skin that was very rough, and unusually thick body hair covering his body in a yellowish-brown color. He exuded an unpleasant odor that was difficult to mask even with strong perfume.
He couldn't understand what Chu Miaomiao was saying, but he judged that they were from China, so he directly pulled out a pistol to threaten them.
Clearly, this wasn't the first time he'd done this, because overseas Chinese were seen as walking gold to them.
Ye Mo was enraged and was about to make a move.
Just then, Donggua in Chu Miaomiao's arms made its move. It meowed and pounced, revealing its sharp claws. With a "plop," it scratched the man's face, causing blood to splatter out and making him scream in pain.
Immediately afterwards, the winter melon unleashed its power again, its claws gleaming with a magical light. With a soft thud, it grabbed the man's neck, the claws so sharp that blood spurted high into the air, severing his head and sending it rolling to the ground!
