Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 707 Signs of troubled times
"If he is a wandering monk from the Floating Cloud Temple, a lot of things would make sense."

Li Xuan looked at the unconscious young monk in front of him.

This monk has a fair and clean complexion with a handsome face.

However, Li Xuan could not sense any cultivation from him, only the aura that made him feel very uneasy.

He sensed it carefully and found that the breath did not come from the monk, but from the black silk thread on his body.

These black silk threads were tightly wrapped around the monk's body and were still wriggling slightly, as if they were trying to cover the monk's entire body.

But the white light emanating from the monk seemed to have a delaying effect on the black silk thread, causing them to engage in an imperceptible tug-of-war.

"What exactly does King Zheng want to do?"

Li Xuan secretly looked at Zhao Fangyuan's expression and found that he was also very shocked and did not seem to be pretending.

Zhao Fangyuan looked at the monk who was glowing quietly at the bottom of the Meteorite Dragon Crater with doubt and surprise. He couldn't seem to understand why his formation had sealed a person for so many years.

"Do you know him?"

Li Xuan asked Zhao Fangyuan directly.

"No, I don't know him."

"This is the first time I've seen this man."

Zhao Fangyuan hurriedly explained.

"Then have you ever heard King Zheng mention the wandering monks of the Floating Cloud Temple?"

"This……"

Zhao Fangyuan seemed to be reminiscing, but also looked as if hesitant.

"Hmm?" Li Xuan looked unfriendly.

"I remember, I remember!" Zhao Fangyuan said hurriedly.

But when he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the two masters beside him.

"The prince had previously instructed us to deal with Fuhu Temple, telling us not to worry about the wandering monks and to just go ahead and do what we want."

After Zhao Fangyuan said this, the two masters' faces darkened.

"Let me ask you, are all the temples in Jiangnan Dao in collusion with King Zheng?"

Zhao Fangyuan nodded silently. Seeing that Li Xuan wanted to ask more questions, he added, "I don't know what methods the prince used, but there are indeed a few temples that listen to the prince's orders."

"But there are also those who are stubborn like Fuhu Temple..."

Li Xuan frowned after hearing this.

Apart from being responsible for the formation here, Zhao Fangyuan knows very little about other things.

King Zheng was also cunning. He only let everyone be responsible for the tasks at hand and did not let them know anything extra.

"Now that you have lifted all the sealing formations here, nothing has happened."

"So, what exactly did you seal?"

When it comes to his expertise, Zhao Fangyuan immediately has something to say.

"The things down there aren't always attacking the seal. Sometimes it happens several times a day, and sometimes there's no movement for a month."

"But if there is any movement, even you will have a hard time staying safe."

"Listen to me, it's still not too late to go up now."

Zhao Fangyuan looked nervous when he spoke, and it seemed that this guy was really afraid of death.

Naturally, they would not listen to Zhao Fangyuan.

They had finally managed to break into the Meteorite Dragon Crater, but if they didn't find out what King Zheng was planning here, their trip would have been in vain.

"Keep an eye on him, don't let him run around."

Li Xuan gave some instructions and started checking around on his own.

The two masters were standing in front of a young monk who was suspected to be a wandering monk from Fuyun Temple.

Tang Nu and Ren Chunsheng looked at Zhao Fangyuan and the other captives.

Others were cautiously searching the area for clues.

Everyone can feel the oppression under the Meteor Crater.

Anything that can threaten them, the third-grade warriors, must be extraordinary.

After a while, Li Xuan walked around below.

The bottom of the Meteorite Crater is not very large, estimated to be a circular area with a radius of forty to fifty feet.

Compared to the cave entrance they entered through, this place is extremely small.

Li Xuan looked around but found no clues.

He looked up at the sky, only to find it was pitch black.

The darkness in the Meteorite Crater even blocks out the light from the stars and the moon from the outside world.

"What is this darkness?"

Li Xuan stretched out his claws to touch, but found nothing.

Logically speaking, with his Yin-Yang Qi, any energy in the world should be able to be exposed.

But facing the darkness in the Meteorite Dragon Crater, his Yin-Yang Qi had no reaction.

At the bottom of the meteorite crater, the most conspicuous person is the unconscious monk.

In the end, Li Xuan came to the place where he started, staring at the young monk who was still glowing.

"Ah Xuan, no other clues?"

Master Shanliao asked with some concern.

Li Xuan shook his head and finally turned his gaze to the only clue in front of him.

The two masters silently made way for Li Xuan.

That’s right, the glowing monk in front of us is the most obvious clue, but the risks involved are difficult to estimate.

If there were other clues, Li Xuan actually didn't want to start directly from this monk, but now he had no choice.

The others also gained nothing and gathered around Li Xuan.

Li Xuan hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out his claws and reached forward.

He activated the Yin and Yang Qi in his body and prayed in his heart that it would work.

Before Li Xuan's claws touched the monk's body, the dark threads on his body reacted first.

These silk threads began to wriggle as if they had life, as if they wanted to drive Li Xuan away but were afraid to touch the Yin-Yang Qi.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that these dark threads were afraid of him.

He was really afraid that he would become a catalyst and trigger some unpredictable consequences.

But now it seems that he can suppress these dark threads, at least they will not harm him.

Li Xuan continued to stretch his claws forward, and in extreme tension, he touched the monk's body.

The monk's body was very solid, as if touching a rock, which was somewhat beyond Li Xuan's expectations.

But before he could think about it, the light on the monk's body slowly began to brighten and gradually became dazzling.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Li Xuan couldn't predict whether this was a good change or a bad change, so he could only ask everyone to be on full alert.

As the light on the monk's body gradually became brighter, the dark threads tightly wrapped around him began to fade.

During this process, Li Xuan seemed to hear the unwilling screams of these dark threads, like some kind of shrill insect chirping.

He suppressed his discomfort and continued to guide the Yin and Yang Qi into the monk's body with a frown.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Li Xuan pressed his claws on the monk's chest and felt waves of vibrations.

Only then did he realize that he had not even felt the monk's heartbeat just now.

At this time, as the light on the monk's body became increasingly dazzling, Li Xuan slowly felt the monk's heartbeat.

"This guy was in a state of suspended animation before."

"How long has he been held here?"

Li Xuan was filled with doubts, but if they could save the monk in front of them, they would be able to find out what King Zheng was planning here.

As the monk's heartbeat recovered, Li Xuan gradually felt the rising momentum from him.

"Ninth grade, eighth grade, seventh grade..."

The monk's aura climbed all the way to the peak of the third level before stopping.

Just at this moment, his eyes slowly opened, and two dazzling golden lights shot towards Li Xuan.

Li Xuan was not afraid at all. He used the Yin-Yang Qi to protect his eyes and looked at the monk who had opened his eyes.

The moment their eyes met, Li Xuan felt his mind become clear, his uneasy emotions were soothed, and his mood instantly calmed down.

"What is this!?" Li Xuan also noticed the changes in himself, but at this moment he had no thoughts or ideas, as if he had entered a state of emptiness, and could not even muster a trace of desire.

"cat?"

The young monk, who was emitting a dazzling light all over his body, uttered a word in confusion.

Seeing that he seemed to have regained consciousness, Li Xuan immediately asked:

"Are you the wandering monk of the Floating Cloud Temple?"

The young monk did not answer Li Xuan's question, but said in even greater astonishment:
"A talking cat?"

Li Xuan felt a headache. Every person who heard him speak for the first time would be amazed by him, which made him feel tired.

At this time, Master Shanliao's voice came from behind Li Xuan.

"Ah Xuan, is he awake?"

"Is he talking?"

Li Xuan looked back and found that no one could look directly at the light on the young monk.

Master Shanliao squinted his eyes and looked towards them, but he couldn't see clearly. However, he heard the conversation between the man and the cat, so he asked this question.

Seeing that the young monk's light continued to shine, Li Xuan immediately cut off his Yin-Yang Qi.

The effect was immediate, and the light on the young monk's body began to dim.

Li Xuan then remembered that he was not wearing any clothes, and immediately asked Master Shanliao behind him for a monk's robe.

Master Shan Liao immediately took out his spare monk robe from his storage magic weapon and handed it to Li Xuan.

As the light dimmed, he could already see the young monk's appearance clearly.

Li Xuan used his tail to spread out the monk's robe and put it directly on the young monk.

The young monk watched all this silently and did not say anything else.

Without the support of the dark threads, he fell down immediately.

Master Shanliao and Master Chenghai stepped forward at the right time and caught the young monk.

"Young Master, are you a wandering monk from the Floating Cloud Temple?"

"This poor monk from Chongfu Temple is fine."

"I am a poor monk from the Ci'en Temple, Chenghai."

The two masters announced their names and waited for the young monk's answer.

He looked at the two of them, then looked at the other people around him, and then nodded.

"I am Fuyun Temple Shinichi. When I came down the mountain, I was indeed given the title of Wandering Monk."

Shinichi said, a bitter smile on his face.

"What the hell is going on?"

Li Xuan stepped forward and asked anxiously.

Shinichi looked at Li Xuan, the surprise in his eyes had not yet completely faded.

"Destined One?"

Shinichi opened his mouth to confirm with Li Xuan.

Li Xuan's heart trembled. He did not answer immediately, but looked at the crowd.

It turned out that Zhao Fangyuan had fallen unconscious like the other prisoners.

Li Xuan was stunned and looked at Tang Nu and Ren Chunsheng who were guarding the prisoners.

But now only Tang Nu was still standing, and Ren Chunsheng also fell to the ground.

"I knocked him out."

Tang pointed at Zhao Fangyuan and said angrily.

Then, Tang Nu pointed at Ren Chunsheng again and spread his hands helplessly:

"He's none of my business."

At this time, Nilubaier said from the side: "It's the light from before. There's something strange about this little monk's body protection technique."

Nirubel looked at Shinichi with great interest, examining him up and down.

To be honest, it was the first time that Nirubel saw the wandering monks of Floating Cloud Temple.

It is said that this wandering monk is the most powerful disciple of the younger generation in Fuyun Temple.

Now it seems that the reputation is well deserved.

Although Shinichi definitely doesn't look old, he already has the strength of a peak third-grade cultivator.

Moreover, this may not be Shinichi's true strength.

He had been imprisoned in the Meteorite Dragon Pit by King Zheng for who knows how long, and it was truly amazing that he had such strength just after recovering.

On this point, even the Holy Fire Cult feels ashamed of itself.

The strongest disciples of the younger generation of the Holy Fire Sect all need to rely on the power of the Holy Fire to carry out a kind of inheritance.

But it’s different in Fuyun Temple. I heard that these monks practice very hard, so there are extremely high requirements for talent.

Therefore, Nirubel was very interested in Shinichi in front of her.

Seeing that Zhao Fangyuan had lost consciousness, Li Xuan answered Zhenyi's question.

"That's right, meow."

After these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.

Except for Zhenyi, Li Xuan has had a lot of contact with other people and had some guesses in his mind, but now that they have been confirmed, it is still inevitable that there are waves in his heart.

"The destined one of this generation is actually a cat."

There was some emotion in Monk Shinichi's tone.

Others have the same idea in their minds.

"I came down the mountain this time on the orders of the abbot of this temple, Zen Master Jingyuan, to look for signs of troubled times."

"As a result, we found the Jiangnan Road soon after descending the mountain, but were captured by King Zheng and trapped here..."

Shinichi said, and asked them in a slightly confused manner: "What year is it tonight?"

Everyone immediately confronted him and discovered that Shinichi had been imprisoned under the Meteoric Dragon Crater for three years.

"Three years..."

Shinichi didn't expect that so much time had passed.

When he went down the mountain, he was only 25 years old. When he woke up, three years had passed and he was now 28 years old.

When they heard that Shinichi was only 28 years old this year, everyone's eyes jumped.

Especially an old man who was older than the others but at a lower level than the others, he started coughing dryly in embarrassment.

"My goodness, this martial arts holy land is really full of talented people."

Li Xuan sighed silently.

According to Zhenyi, he had just come down the mountain and was naive, so he was deceived by King Zheng.

When King Zheng heard about Zhen Yi's mission down the mountain, he immediately offered to help him, and then brought him all the way to the bottom of the Meteorite Dragon Crater. Then he was captured and trapped there.

"By the way, what are those black strings wrapped around you?"

Li Xuan asked hurriedly.

"Evil dragon energy."

Shinichi pointed to where he was previously trapped.

Li Xuan leaned over to take a look and found a palm-sized formation on the ground.

There are several holes in the formation, and the dark threads before extended from here.

"This is the sign of troubled times that I have been looking for at the behest of Zen Master Jingyuan."

Shinichi added.

He had been trapped here for three years and had confirmed that this was what he was looking for.

"A sign of troubled times?"

Hearing this word, Li Xuan subconsciously looked at Nilubaier.

Nirubel also looked at Li Xuan and frowned slightly.

It seems that Fuyun Temple has also received some kind of prophecy about the great catastrophe of world destruction.

"This thing will cause a great catastrophe, but Zen Master Jingyuan did not tell me how to break it."

Shinichi touched his chest, recalling the feeling when the Yin-Yang Qi awakened him earlier.

"Now that destiny has been revealed, the answer is self-evident."
