At night, at the entrance of the Bai family manor.

Bai Yutang walked out alone.

After dragging Tianzun out of anger, Bai Yutang sent his master back to the small courtyard to rest.

Later in the evening, the Fifth Master visited Yin Hou and asked him to recall the places they passed when they went to the Ape Emperor for a drink, and where his master might have left the letter.

Yin Hou recalled it in detail and helped draw a map. The fifth master took the "route map" and walked out, preparing to go out to find the lost letter from his master.

As soon as I stepped out of the door, I heard someone "tsk tsk" twice.

Hearing this voice, Master Wu smiled slightly and looked back.

Zhan Zhao was sitting on the stone beast at the door waiting for him.

"Alas." Zhan Zhao sighed and shook his head. He jumped down and reached Bai Yutang's side. He touched him lightly with his shoulder. "That means - look at you! You still want to go alone? Do you treat me as an outsider?"

Bai Yutang reached out and touched behind his ears. He looked a little embarrassed and coughed lightly, "I thought you were asleep."

"Hoo ho." Zhan Zhao followed Bai Yutang, holding the juque behind his back, while teasing him, "Xiao Baitang, is Tianzun ready?"

The fifth master looked helplessly at his skinny cat, with the giant sword swaying behind his back, like a tail.

The night breeze was slightly cool, and the starlight and moonlight were scattered all over the ground. The two of them just stepped on the silvery layer on the path, talking and laughing as they walked forward.

…

In the manor, after "reminiscing" the morning schedule with Bai Yutang, Yin Hou returned to the yard and saw the Demon King looking around, "Xiaoyou...Xiaoyou?"

Yin Hou was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

The Silver Demon King held the lid of a water tank in the yard with one hand and was looking into the tank while saying, "Xiaoyou is missing."

Yin Hou looked speechlessly at the Silver Demon King who came to look for Xiaoyou in the tank, "Didn't you just say you were sleepy and fell asleep?"

"There isn't one in the room." The Demon King held the lid, thought for a moment, and then stamped his foot, "Oh! Did Xiaoyou run away from home?!"

Looking forward to the sky.

The Demon King hugged the cylinder cover with a worried look on his face, "Xiaoyou is so stupid, what if he gets lost and is abducted by bad guys?"

Yin Hou felt a little sorry for the "bad guy", and thought to himself, why did he kidnap that Bai Mao? Who could afford to support him except Bai Yutang?

…

"Let's go find the letter." Yin Hou thought for a while and felt that this was the only possibility.

The Silver Demon King pushed Yin Hou out, "Then go and find Xiaoyou quickly, and bring Xiaoyou back by the way!"

Yin Hou was speechless and was about to go to sleep. "He can't lose it. Besides, are you still worried that he will suffer a loss if he does lose it?"

"Go quickly!" The demon king also stuffed the cylinder head in Yin Hou's hand, "Take this with you! Hurry! Xiaoyou is heading to the west side of the ferry!"

"Huh?" Yin Hou didn't understand, and had already been kicked out by the demon king.

Helpless, Yin Hou had no choice but to carry the cylinder lid and head to the west ferry to find Tianzun. He was wondering in his heart - didn't he go to the Ape Emperor's house in the morning? How could Bai Mao's letter be lost at the ferry?

…

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took the route map drawn by Yin Hou and found the Ape Emperor's home all the way.

Yuan Di's house is really not that far away, it's quite close to Gongsun's house, in a mountain near Lanting.

It was almost midnight when the two of them arrived. They searched everywhere along the way and found nothing. In the end, only the Ape Emperor's house was left.

Bai Yutang remembered Yin Hou saying that Tianzun seemed to have taken off his coat when they were drinking in the courtyard.

The two walked along the stone steps to a house on the hillside. The courtyard door was closed. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood at the door, debating whether to knock on the door or sneak in.

If you knock on the door, it might seem impolite to wake up an old man in the middle of the night, but if you sneak in... will you be beaten as a thief?

The two of them were in trouble at the door when they heard a voice, "I thought those two soy sauce guys came back to steal my wine in the middle of the night, but they turned out to be two little cubs."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were startled. When they looked back, they saw a dark figure sitting on a big tree behind them. The shadow of the tree covered most of his body, and his aura was probably hidden, so they were completely unaware of it.

The man on the tree jumped down and stood in front of Zhan Bai and the others.

Both of them subconsciously raised their heads - is this the Holy Ape Emperor? He is so tall and looks so majestic.

The Ape Emperor is tall and domineering. He looks to be about the same age as Tianzun Yinhou. Judging from his physical skills and internal strength, he is indeed a master of that level. But he does not look intimidating. He looks at the two of them with gentle eyes and a smile on his face.

Some smiles.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hurriedly greeted him and were very well-behaved.

The Ape Emperor was quite satisfied and motioned for the two of them to follow him into the house and sit down, while asking, "Where is my little Meizi? It's already midnight and you're still not back?"

"Oh, that's right." Zhan Zhao remembered that Tang Luomei asked him to bring a letter to the Ape Emperor before going out, so he took out the letter and handed it to the old man.

The Ape Emperor took the letter, looked at it, and smiled, "Hey, you finally have a childish tone, Liangchen Scenic Spot Team? Have you made any other friends besides that little skinny monkey Shen Yuanchen?"

Zhan Zhao introduced Xiaosizi and Xiaoliangzi to the Ape Emperor.

The Ape Emperor touched his chin and said, "Then I'll let you live for a few days and see how well I can kick him."

After pouring two cups of scented tea for the two of them, and sitting down in the yard, Emperor Ape asked, "Why do you two come to my place in the middle of the night? Just to deliver a letter to Xiao Meizi?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang told the old man about Tianzun's lost letter.

The Ape Emperor didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Which idiot gave the letter to Xiaoyou? He has never answered a letter correctly once in his life."

Zhan Zhao opened his eyes and looked at Bai Yutang - it turned out that he had never delivered the right gift!

Fifth Master instantly regained his balance.

The Ape Emperor took them all around the house, lighting up every corner with a lantern, and searched carefully, but could not find the letter.

The old man touched his chin and asked, "You said that Xiaoyou hid the letter in his sleeve pocket?"

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao really couldn't tell. Tianzun was so confused that he stuffed it casually. Who knows where he stuffed it?

The old man thought for a while and smiled, "When you were searching along the way, were there any places by the river?"

"Grandpa said that the place where he was found was near the Yamen. Master En died by the bridge. There was a willow embankment next to it, and not far along was the ferry.

"Go and look for it by the river." Ape Emperor reminded Bai Yutang, "Your master usually wakes up early in the morning and is in a daze. He has a habit. You should know that, right?"

Fifth Master immediately understood, "Yes!"

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang in confusion.

Fifth Master said, "Master gets up early in the morning and likes to stand by the pond or the river..."

"Oh!" Zhan Zhao also remembered that Tianzun likes to stand in a place with water, stretch and stretch his muscles, and then he almost wakes up completely.

If the letter was really put in Tianzun's sleeve pocket, it probably fell out when he was stretching by the river.

The two of them thanked the Ape Emperor and returned, heading towards the ferry, and soon arrived near Yangliu Embankment.

As soon as we arrived, we met Yin Hou who was walking down the bridge with Xiao Wu.

The three people and one tiger looked at each other in confusion. After looking at each other for a while, Zhan Zhao asked, "Grandpa, why are you holding the pot lid?"

Yin Hou looked at the wooden cylinder head in his hand and was speechless. He corrected his grandson, "This is the cylinder head."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both tilted their heads - so what? Why are you running to the river with a lid at night?

"The demon king asked me to get it." Yin Hou said, and seemed to remember it when he saw the river water, "No wonder the old ghost lost the letter when he came to the ferry to stretch here early in the morning, right?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded - the heroes had the same view.

"Did you find the letter?" Yin Hou asked the two of them.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both shrugged - No.

"Will it fall into the river?" Yin Hou looked at the river and then at the cylinder cover in his hand. Then he had an idea and threw the cover into the water.

The tank cover was made of paulownia wood and was very light, and the water in the river was very fast. As soon as the cover fell into the water, it floated away with the current, and everyone hurriedly chased it.

The cylinder head floated along the embankment, and after making a few turns, it drifted towards the reed marsh on the side of Jinghu Lake.

"Will it drift into the reeds?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Both Master Wu and Yin Hou thought it was possible.

"I bet it's not the cylinder head. The drift has been wet all the way. Can I still find it..."

Before Bai Yutang finished speaking, Xiao Wu ran happily into the reed marsh.

"Xiaowu?" Zhan Zhao quickly followed.

There were puddles all over the reed marsh. Xiao Wu was a tiger after all, and the big cat liked this kind of puddle the most. He trotted through the water and got rid of the mud.

The fifth master was a little speechless. He felt that he didn't need to sleep tonight because he had to wash the cat when he got home.

Zhan Zhao also stepped on the mud in his boots and was speechless when he saw Xiao Wu suddenly grab a white object and pull it out.

All three of them were overjoyed, "Found it?!"

Almost at the same time, a familiar voice came, "Found it!"

This was followed by several sounds of treading water.

"Huh? Where did the mud cat come from?"
