I became an immortal in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 81 Paper Cat, Prince Qi's Fame Through Immortal Seeking

Master Jiwei took the book with both hands and examined the words on it one by one.

These are the people killed by his disciples, some good, some evil, some old, some young. Dozens of names are written on the paper, the ink is elegant and heavy as Mount Tai.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist..."

Master Jiwei carefully put the items away, bid farewell to Jiang She, and prepared to take his disciple Qingyunzi to settle the remains and families of these departed souls.

Jiang She decided to take a walk in the mountains.

Seeing that Yunmeng Mountain was very large, he asked Sanshui to show him around.

Not wanting to simply take someone else's child to work, Jiang She noticed that San Shui's gaze was fixed on the black cat. After a moment's hesitation, he resorted to his old trick and borrowed a piece of paper and a pair of scissors.

This method is most effective at coaxing young children.

Simply cut out the shape of a cat.

The tail seems a bit long.

"It should be alright," he said, taking out the blue liquid and dripping a drop onto the paper. Seeing the faint blue color spread across the paper, Jiang She blew on it.

He said to Sanshui.

"Touch it."

Sanshui, unsure of what to do but filled with curiosity, reached out and touched the paper.

After this paper touched someone—

Suddenly, it floated to the ground and transformed into a cat with a slightly longer tail, yellow in color, with long fur and spotted markings. Its tail stood high, and it impatiently flicked it before leaping onto the table.

Sanshui's eyes widened.

"cat!"

The black cat's eyes widened instantly in Jiang She's arms.

It sniffed the paper cat's scent, looking around for a long time. Then it quietly jumped down from the person's arms, taking small steps, and its tail accidentally brushed against the paper cat's fur.

Sanshui hurriedly asked, "Senior, how did you do that?"

"It has absorbed a bit of the spirituality of heaven and earth."

"Maybe I'll learn it later?"

Chu Yi asked from the side, "Why isn't the senior saying anything?"

Jiang She thought for a moment: "If you cultivate diligently, it should be possible."

How serious do I need to be?

"..."

Yuan Danqiu watched the paper cat with great interest. He had seen the teacher use this method to coax his child when he passed by the Zhao family before.

At the time, I regretted not being able to see how surprised and delighted the four children of the Zhao family were.

It's right here in front of you.

Sanshui was so happy he felt like he could fly.

I touched the paper cat very carefully, as if afraid it would disappear.

Jiang She laughed and said, "This was cut out of paper, so it can't get wet or burned. Remember to avoid it."

San Shui nodded vigorously.

“If you reveal your true origin, you will turn back into a piece of paper. You only need to absorb a little human energy to become a cat,” Jiang She added.

"Thank you, senior!"

She jumped three feet high, carefully picked up the paper cat, and held it warmly in her arms. She could even feel the paper cat's heartbeat. She was beaming with joy.

"Senior, let's go!"

On the way down the mountain, the black cat quietly rubbed against the paper cat.

Jiang She saw it.

He just smiled, without saying anything.

Soon, the black cat leaped far away again, arching its back, waiting for the paper cat to chase it.

Two cats rolled around in the woods, their fur covered in leaves. Feeling itchy, the cats shook themselves.

Jiang She walked behind, darting away into the mountains like a three-water monkey.

She ran back a moment later, her little face covered in sweat. She wiped it with her sleeve and remembered her important task: "What would you like to see, senior?"

"Just wander around."

Jiang She asked, "If you encounter hunters coming into the mountains, what would you do?"

Sanshui thought about it.

“I once met someone who came into the mountains to cut firewood and carried it down the mountain to sell.”

"I saw that he was carrying something really heavy, he could barely lift his back, and he was walking hunched over, so I told him I could help him carry it." "What do you think, senior?"

Jiang She sized up Sanshui's attire. The boy was neatly dressed and clean, with his hair in two buns and silver jewelry that jingled as he moved.

If you meet someone in the mountains out of nowhere...

It really does seem like a ghost story.

Jiang She said, "That person was startled."

Sanshui smiled smugly: "Our Yunmeng Mountain is haunted; it's famous throughout the surrounding counties."

As they walked, in front of a pond not far away, there were four or five children, both boys and girls, who were arguing intently with their backs to them, unaware of the approaching figures.

Sanshui's steps suddenly came to a halt.

"They're learning to fly, senior, would you like to go and take a look?"

Remembering that his senior was so old and still didn't know such a simple spell, Sanshui looked around, lowered his voice, and said generously:
"Seniors can also learn from them."

Jiang She couldn't help but laugh and agreed.

"it is good."

The two people and two cats walked to the pond.

Sanshui stood among the children, watching with great interest as they learned "walking on water without leaving a trace." She felt quite proud of herself, as this was a technique she had learned long ago.

The other children were immediately distracted and no longer wanted to look at the pond.

When they're learning something, anything that happens, even a gust of wind or a falling leaf, can keep them entertained for half a day.

The children were all chattering and asking questions.

"Sanshui, what brings you here!"

"How did you and the first-year students study back then?" The speaker was soaking wet, having just climbed out of the pond.

Some people also asked:

"You're back from Luoyang? What's it like down the mountain?"

Sanshui was delighted. He carefully held the cat in his arms and carried it away from the water's edge.

I deliberately circled around in front of them and asked, "I came with my senior. Do you see anything different?"

"Where did this cat come from?!"

"You hired him from down the mountain?"

Sanshui was overjoyed, his face glowing with excitement as he answered the questions. In front of everyone, he turned the cat into a piece of paper, eliciting gasps of astonishment.

When it transforms back into a cat, it launches into another barrage of questions.

She glanced at her senior secretly, but didn't say anything.

He just mumbled:

"They're not from our mountain area..."

Jiang She, with a black cat rubbing against his feet, saw his division commander standing in the distance and raised his hand in a salute.

The other person smiled and greeted him, listening to the children shouting and exclaiming in surprise around the paper cat, completely forgetting about learning magic.

The waiter came over.

The teacher laughed and said, "What a wonderful way to practice magic!"

"A little trick, used to coax a child."

Jiang She noticed that some of the children were soaking wet, and realized they had just fallen down not long ago. San Shui held the cat at a distance, not letting him get closer, which caused another round of noise.

He asked, "Are you learning the art of flying?"

"A master has a keen eye."

Jiang She asked, "Does someone this young have to learn this?"

That's an interesting question. The teacher thought about it carefully and said, "The child can't sit still, so he must first learn the art of flying. Otherwise, Yunmeng Mountain is so high, he'll fall and get sick."

"What if you're unlucky..."

The teacher stopped speaking. These days, even spiritual practitioners avoid using prophecies when they speak, maintaining a sense of awe towards heaven and earth.

Jiang She immediately replied, "I misspoke."

The division commander looked Jiang She up and down.

His gaze fell on the other person's blue robe.

Then he remembered hearing that the sect leader had brought guests today, brought back by Qingyunzi. Some disciples had seen the group on the way, and Sanshui and Chuyi, the two children, kept whispering about it.

His gaze shifted, and he asked carefully:
"Is the master the immortal that King Qi sought?"
