In the residence of Taoist Guangsheng, Li Qing sat opposite him.
"That's about it. All the palaces are empty. I only got one spiritual treasure and learned a inheritance."
After listening to Li Qing's summary, Taoist Guangsheng rolled his eyes at him: "You only got one spiritual treasure? This harvest alone can make you envious of the True Lord Yuanying."
Li Qing shook his head and changed the subject: "After the curse was lifted, how do fellow Taoists feel now?"
Taoist Guangsheng frowned, a little unsure: "Probably, did you know that I am me today? But it's not necessarily true."
Li Qing was a little surprised: "How to say?"
Guangsheng sighed: "A name is an anchor for sentient beings, but isn't it also a handle?"
"We are born unknown, so our lives may be inconvenient, and it may even be very difficult for us to break through to advanced realms."
"But similarly, there is no so-called 'real name', and many naming curses cannot locate us. Even the legendary book of life and death does not necessarily have our names on it..."
Li Qing was horrified: "Book of Life and Death? Is there really such a thing?!"
Taoist Guangsheng was very sure: "Yes. Our family has records since ancient times. It was accidentally heard by our ancestors when they listened to the sermons of the master of the secret realm."
Li Qing couldn't help but be silent.
After a while, he put the matter behind him and asked: "Now, the ruins of the ancient cultivation in Cat City are gone, and the orb on the top of the tower has escaped by itself."
"Fellow Taoist asked me to save the cat-headed people at the end of the secret realm. I don't know what to do next?"
Guangsheng said: "The constraints on my surviving family members in the secret realm are not only nameless and surnameless, but also the most critical link, which is that they cannot leave this secret realm of yellow sand."
"The key to breaking the shackles of names and surnames lies in my cat-headed clan. There must be other obstacles, perhaps in other places where survivors gather."
Li Qing thought so and asked, "I wonder if you know where the other survivors are? I'll go over and have a look."
Taoist Guangsheng shook his head: "I have only woken up from confinement for a few years. How do I know this? But if you take Mao Shou with you, he has a lot of friends and should be able to guide you."
Mao Shou is the name the cat-headed captain gave himself. Mao is homophonic to cat, and the leader's head is homophonic to longevity.
He is also the only candidate for the next leader of the cat-headed clan.
The surname Mao is a surname chosen by the cat-headed people based on the Yuanhuang script and based on homophonic pronunciation.
Similarly, there are surnames such as Mao and Mao.
Of course, there are also people who directly take cat as their surname. Anyway, there is no ancestral method. These cat-headed people are not rigid and follow what they like.
Soon, Mao Shou arrived at the mansion.
He looked at the two third-level powerhouses in the hall with some confusion: "Elder, Master Li, what should we do next?"
Li Qing and Taoist Guangsheng looked at each other: "According to my discussion with your elders, I want to visit other secret realm survivors."
"You often lead caravans and communicate with other survivors. Do you know where other races live?"
He paused and then added: "When needed, the ancestral land has not been moved in history, leaving relics similar to the previous inner city."
Mao Shou frowned and thought for a long time before suddenly remembering: "The human-faced snake clan! I know where the ancestral land of the human-faced snake clan is."
Li Qing raised his eyebrows: "Is it the tribe of the fellow Taoist who traveled with me last time?" Mao Shou shook his head: "It's not them. They are branches. I once passed by their ancestral land, and there are still human-faced snakes there."
"But it's a pity that the environment there is harsh, and the human-faced snake clan has outgrown its basic civilization and looks like wild beasts."
"If Mr. Li just goes to look for the ruins, that's no problem. But if he wants to learn something from the survivors, I'm afraid it's impossible."
Li Qing sighed: "The changes in the world, from ancient times to modern times, from civilized races to ordinary beasts, the changes in the world are so ruthless."
After saying that, he stood up and said, "I would like to ask fellow Taoist to lead the way for me. I will go to that ruins to see if there are any new opportunities."
Mao Shou glanced at Taoist Guangsheng and saw that he had no objection, so he respectfully replied: "Mao Shou is willing to lead the way for the real person, and I hope to gain something."
Before setting off to find the ancestral land of the Man-Faced Snake, Li Qing first accepted the refuge of the cat-headed people.
According to him, it was actually not necessary. After all, he had benefited from the ruins and helping the survivors solve the curse was just incidental.
But Taoist Guangsheng disagreed: "According to ancient legend, there is a great terror in this secret realm. I am the only third-level cat-headed person in the clan, and I am not enough to resist the disaster. Fellow Taoist, just think that I am taking advantage of your luck. ”
When Li Qing saw what he said, he couldn't help but agree, so he had to accept it reluctantly.
Three days later, Taoist Guangsheng drew the formation, attracted the "attention" of Emperor Yuan, and then used the formation to draw a legal deed, binding the entire cat-headed clan to Li Qing.
Including Taoist Guangsheng, all cat-headed people are controlled by legal contracts and need to obey Li Qing's reasonable orders.
And Li Qing shouldered the heavy responsibility of leading them out of the secret realm smoothly.
When the legal contract came, Li Qing was regarded as the owner of the contract by the cat-headed people, and he soon understood the true strength of this surviving family.
At this time, Li Qingcai was shocked to discover that the background of the cat-headed people was really quite deep.
In addition to Taoist Guangsheng and Mao Shou, there are two second-level powerhouses. One is a second-level physical cultivator, and the other is a foundation-building cultivator.
In addition, among their accompanying civets, there are two old cats with second-level strength. They usually lie in their own kitten house and come out to support themselves when something happens.
Unfortunately, the restrictions on the secret realm have not been lifted yet. This third-level and five second-level powerful forces cannot be taken out of the secret realm.
In view of this, Li Qing became a little anxious to release the shackles of the secret realm on the survivors as soon as possible.
He took the time to return to Kunpeng Blessed Land and found that the family was prospering, so he did not interfere too much.
In addition, Li Hu has been studying Hui Feng and Jin Feng recently, hoping to refine the two cat's eye gems left by the big white cat, but he can't get away.
Li Qing simply brought the other three cats to the Yellow Sand Secret Realm.
This made Taoist Guangsheng very happy. After all, he was a child adopted by Lao Shengmao, so he was born to be kind.
Compared with the excellent situation in Kunpeng Paradise, over there in the Elf World, whether it is the radicals' taboo experiments, the fifth-level wizards, or the suppressed abyss passage under the Marigold Palace, they are all huge hidden dangers.
Especially the radical faction seems to have sensed the lineage of the tree shepherds, and a series of major actions they have recently carried out are now somewhat ready to be carried out.
"The storm is about to come, and it is a troubled time." Li Qing couldn't help but sigh, "I hope they don't come out together."
After Mao Shou packed his luggage, Li Qing said goodbye to Taoist Guangsheng and the four cats, turned around and left the cat city, embarking on the road to find other relics.
