Chapter 249: Paradise on Earth
"Are you my eldest brother's cat? What's your name? Can you speak human language?"
Feng Qing'an felt quite subtle as he looked at the little black cat squatting on his shoulder and licking its paws.
Among all the creatures he knew, only Donghuang had such high potential. But now he was on his way to see his eldest brother, and before he even saw anyone, he met such an indescribable little creature halfway.
It's outrageous!
Meow~
The black cat stopped licking its paws, raised its head and stared at Feng Qingan. Feng Qingan's face was reflected in its radiating golden vertical pupils. Then it made a babyish cry that seemed to be able to melt people's hearts.
“…”
Feng Qing'an suddenly fell silent. He couldn't understand cat language. Not to mention those from different races, even if they were from the same race and were ten miles away, he might not be able to understand their dialect.
For practitioners, communicating with spiritual thoughts and consciousness is the most reliable way to convey what they want to express clearly and accurately.
"little things."
Although the kitten's race, attributes, and even potential level made Feng Qing'an doubt whether he had seen it wrong, the fact that it had only Qi Ling's combat power made Feng Qing'an relax a lot. He reached out, pinched the little guy's neck, and lifted him up in front of his eyes.
"Are you playing dumb with me?"
Judging from the potential level of this little black cat, its intelligence is only stronger than that of humans. Feng Qingan will not be deceived by its seemingly harmless, petite and cute appearance. He believes that this guy is only good at acting cute.
This guy came here on a sword. His appearance alone was enough to prove that he was extraordinary. An ordinary cat would be scared silly, but this little guy dared to follow his palm and climb onto his shoulder to lick his fur.
Meow~
But even in the face of Feng Qing'an's questioning, the little black cat still did not show any intention. Instead, it stared at Feng Qing'an with a pair of round, bright eyes and made a cat's meow that was so sweet that it made people sick.
Roar
Looking at the little black cat held in Feng Qing'an's hands, making noises that had no deterrent effect at all and flapping its four pink and tender paws, Heishan felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. A vigilant look appeared in his eyes, and his head was slightly lowered, revealing his snow-white fangs.
"Heishan, what are you doing? Don't scare this kitten."
Heishan 's overreaction made Feng Qing'an subconsciously hold the little black cat, which was no bigger than a palm, in his palm and press it against his chest. This was the creature with the highest potential he had ever met, and he had picked it up for almost free.
It was pure nonsense to say that he was not tempted. He had already made up his mind that if the cat was raised by his elder brother, he would ask him for it.
If I jump onto the sword halfway, that would be even easier. Once in his hands, there's no way of escaping, no matter what this little cat is planning.
Even if the harmless appearance is a disguise, it cannot make much waves with its combat power. No matter how high its potential is, it can only unleash the power to destroy the world after it is realized and converted into combat power.
Without realizing the potential, it is just potential. There are countless geniuses and heroes who died young in this world, but they are just a handful of dirt in the end.
However, Feng Qing'an was more inclined to believe that the cat was thrown up by his eldest brother. With a sword in his hand that could kill gods and dragons, how could he allow a kitten to jump onto the sword and step on it?
Even if this kitten has the potential to achieve the realm of human immortals, so what? The Cangjiang Water Lord who can truly rival the human immortals has been killed, let alone those who have not yet grown up.
Unless the eldest brother allows, no one other than the brothers can control this sword.
Awooo~
Hearing Feng Qingan's slightly reproachful words, Heishan retracted its subconscious attacking posture and let out a slightly aggrieved whimper.
Meow~
The kitten held against Feng Qing'an's chest let out another sweet cry, and its little head poked out halfway. Its originally round golden eyes narrowed slightly, and it looked at Heishan, who was now looking obedient and submissive, with a look of pride and provocation.
Oh~
Heishan had just let out a low growl when the little black cat crawled into Feng Qing'an's clothes. Then, the little fellow with black fur with a hint of red suddenly bumped into the bright dragon covered in shining golden scales.
The two little guys were staring at each other at Feng Qing'an's chest, but the next moment, Minglong let out a deterrent growl. Although it was not a living creature, but just a set of psychic armor, at this moment, it was still like a beast defending its invaded territory.
Originally, the area inside Feng Qing'an's robe was its exclusive territory, and no one else could share it.
Although it knew that a few large birds burning with blazing flames would fly out of Feng Qingan's body from time to time, those guys had no conflict with it.
Even if they appeared, they would fly out of Feng Qingan's body. When they did not appear, they would quietly shrink inside Feng Qingan's body and had no contact with it.
But the coal-black guy in front of him was different. This little thing blatantly invaded the territory that originally belonged to it. This made Minglong feel strong hostility when he saw this little black cat for the first time.
"You two little things, stop messing around."
Feng Qing'an naturally knew exactly what was happening to him. He reached out and pulled out the little black cat that had been hiding in his arms, then placed it on his right shoulder where it had been originally resting.
Meow~
It was still the same childish, sweet voice, but when Minglong heard it from Feng Qingan's collar, it was completely different from what Feng Qingan heard.
Roar
It was dry and hoarse, making people's souls feel like they were about to break apart, as if it was the roar of an ancient demon. With one roar, mountains and rivers were shattered, and stars fell... Even Minglong, who was now extremely spiritual, could not help shaking his head and was almost knocked unconscious by this roar.
"My goodness, I didn't realize this little thing has two faces!"
Feng Qing'an was the first to notice Minglong's discomfort. When he used the "Spirit Parasitism Technique" to separate a wisp of his consciousness and placed it on Minglong Armor to gain its perception, he was also shocked.
"The Heavenly Demon White Tiger?"
Feng Qing'an silently recalled the information he had just obtained. Knowing some of the details of this little thing, he was certainly not confused by its well-behaved, sweet and cute appearance, but he did not expect that the cry of this little thing was so special.
It was clearly the same sound, but when it fell into the ears of different creatures, the feelings they received were completely different. However, this abnormality also made Feng Qingan feel a little relieved. The identification was not wrong, and the origin of this little guy was indeed extraordinary.
"Go ask Big Brother!"
Feng Qing'an controlled the wind and flew towards the direction where the sword came from. The wind blowing in the sky gradually became drier, and the ground below also gradually became flat.
Northern Xinjiang
This is just a general term for the northern territory of the Great Jin Dynasty and does not refer to a specific place. The place Feng Qingan is going to is Gunzhou, which is where his eldest brother serves as the governor.
Feng Qing'an didn't know where Gunzhou was. Not everyone could have a map. But this was not a big problem for him. The sword in his hand pointed him in the direction.
Carrying the Black Mountain in the air, riding the wind for several hours, just when Feng Qing'an felt a little tired, a blue dragon lying across the ground came into view. It was a snow-covered mountain range that stretched from west to east, majestic and towering. The highest peak on the east side went straight into the blue sky, connecting with the sky and merging with the floating white clouds.
"Northern Frontier, we're here."
The first time Feng Qing'an saw Wolong Snow Mountain, he knew that he was not far from his elder brother, because this snow-covered mountain range was like a natural barrier for Da Jin. On the other side of the mountain were the ferocious and brutal beastmen.
Zheng~
Without waiting for Feng Qing'an to continue flying towards the snow-capped mountains, the little black cat's sword was brought back for him. At this moment, the sword made a ringing sound, humming and vibrating, leading Feng Qing'an downwards.
Feng Qing'an did not resist, but followed the guidance of the sword and landed on a small green hill that was inconspicuous when viewed from the sky. What he saw was thorns and weeds all over the ground, and it was very desolate.
There wasn't even a decent path under his feet, and there was no one around. His fall even startled a few gray rabbits and wild badgers.
“…”
The young man looked at the barren green hill in front of him, pursed his lips, and spread out his soul. He did not feel any familiar breath, but the sword in his hand was still trembling, guiding him to move forward.
Meow!
When Feng Qing'an was wondering if he had been tricked, the little black cat squatting on his shoulder jumped off his body and fell into the thorns and weeds. The palm-sized black cat was soon submerged.
“…”
Seeing this scene, Feng Qing'an frowned and did not chase after it blindly, because he could still feel the breath of the black cat. Although he could not see it with his eyes, his perception was still there.
Meow~
The black cat was walking among the grass and trees on this barren hillside. When it had put a distance of several dozen feet between itself and Feng Qing'an, and seeing that Feng Qing'an had not caught up, the black cat jumped onto a low bluestone, revealing its figure. It squatted on the stone and called out to Feng Qing'an, its tail shaking behind it.
"My eldest brother would be in a place like this?"
Feng Qing'an looked down at the sword in his hand. He knew that his elder brother was far from an ordinary person. When he took part in the imperial examination, he did not take the ordinary route, but crossed mountains and rivers all the way.
But given his eldest brother's current status and the responsibilities he needs to fulfill, there is no way he can stay in such a remote place.
Zheng~
The ancient sword was still ringing. Feng Qing'an thought for a moment, then took out a book bound with the lowest quality yellow paper from his arms, held it in his hand, and flew towards where the black cat was.
Meow~
When the little black cat saw Feng Qing'an finally caught up, it let out a satisfied cry, then wagged its tail and jumped into the weeds that were more than a person tall, moving through the weeds and bushes.
Feng Qing'an held the sword in one hand and the book in the other, concentrating and being on guard, until the little black cat led him to a low cave in the mountains, and then the young man seemed to realize something.
Meow~
The black cat squatted in front of the cave, turned its head and called out to Feng Qingan. In the cave, the darkness formed in the places where the sunlight could not reach swallowed up the figure of the black cat, leaving only a pair of golden pupils, shining brightly in the darkness.
The young man did not hesitate and walked into the cave. When Feng Qing'an followed him, the little black cat wagged its tail and rushed into the depths of darkness without looking back.
At first it was very narrow, but only passable, and after a few dozen steps it suddenly became open, with flat land and neat houses. There were fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees and bamboos, roads and paths connecting the fields, chickens and dogs could be heard, and people were working and planting... This was a secluded place completely different from the barren scenery outside the mountains.
Just by stepping into it and feeling the rich spiritual energy at the first sight, Feng Qingan already had an idea. As for the croaking sound that suddenly sounded in his mind, it only proved his guess.
"Blessed Land! Master, you have now entered an ownerless blessed land. You must find a way to seize this blessed land. As long as you can seize it, I will do whatever you ask me to do."
"Shut up."
Feng Qing'an didn't want to listen to this guy's chatter at all at this moment, because he had already seen a familiar figure standing in front of the thatched cottage, looking at him with a faint smile.
Brother, Feng Qingping.
"An, I originally thought I would have to wait a little longer before I could see you, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly."
To this day, the face of the cat is still 70% similar to Feng Qing'an. The governor of Gunzhou is stroking the cat in his hands. The cat opens its little mouth and keeps growling, as if it is playing with him. The cat raises its head and looks at Feng Qing'an with a smile.
It can be seen that at this moment, this governor, whose power is growing day by day, is in a very good mood.
"Brother."
Feng Qing'an's mood at this moment was extremely subtle and complicated. From the corner of his eye he could see the peaceful and tranquil scene around him.
It was not an illusion, nor was it a false image created by ghosts or spirits; it was a real scene of peace.
"I have no choice but to bring you here to meet me. My governor's mansion is not suitable for receiving guests. If you meet me there, I'm afraid you won't be able to get away for three to five years, and you will get into trouble."
Feng Qingping smiled and explained why he appeared here and why he brought Feng Qingan here.
But Feng Qing'an still couldn't understand. Although his elder brother was defying the will of heaven, it was too discouraging to do it to this extent. The place under his feet was a complete blessed land.
Compared with the Jiushou Cave Heaven which only has the name of a cave heaven, except for the name, it is completely superior in all other aspects.
The Xiao family's thousand years of accumulation only allowed them to control a part of the incomplete cave, but his eldest brother used a complete blessed land as the place to meet his fellow brother.
"Brother, where did you get this blessed land?"
The person in front of him was his elder brother, so Feng Qingan had doubts in his heart, so he naturally wouldn't hold them in. He had already confirmed that it was correct, and neither the book in his hand nor the sword had any reaction at this moment.
"I found it by accident."
Feng Qingping's tone was easygoing and relaxed. Even though he knew he had found a Taoist blessed land that could ward off disasters and avoid calamities, he remained calm.
"Accident?"
