Chapter 774: Rats
Qingcheng Mountain is a cultivation place, fully developed and well-maintained, and there will be no creature like rats at all. Even if there is, it is an alienated white rat that feeds on grass roots and grass seeds, and is cultivated as a pet by many young girls.
And now, right in front of Gomako's eyes, there are thousands of rats covering the entire granary.
Each is only the size of an adult's fist, and the volume is not too exaggerated, but the whole body is pitch black, the eyes are blood-red, the teeth are sharp, and there is a great sense of restlessness.
They huddle into a ball of stuffed balls, jumping up and down, looking for anything to eat. Hearing the knock at the door, a strange crimson little eye came over, but he ignored it, and seemed to be only interested in food crops.
Wu Zhenzi was in a trance for a while before he reacted, and saw that all the mountains of rice bags were bitten open, and the snow-white and slender spiritual rice was sprinkled all over the ground, as well as those vegetables, melons and fruits, all of which disappeared, and they were probably swallowed into their stomachs.
This is a year's worth of food for the entire palace!
Wu Zhenzi was furious, seeing that the spiritual rice was ruined and inedible, he simply shook out a talisman.
Call!
The talisman turned into a fire dragon and roared away, flying twice around the warehouse, and the fire burst out.
"Squeak!"
"Squeak!"
Countless black-haired mice got stained with sparks, screaming and running in pain, and those that were not burned wanted to slip away through the gate.
Wu Zhenzi saw that Wuyangyang was surging, and his heart was furious, so he immediately did it again, and the ground rumbled and raised to form an earthen wall, completely blocking it.
"Senior brother!"
At this time, Wu Mingzi hurried over with a few people, and he was also shocked when he saw this.
"How can there be rats in a good way?"
"Seeing that this scale has become a rat infestation, you can't be careless, and you can't order it to go down......"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a shrill whistle sound from all over the foot of the mountain, "Huh!" "Huh!" pierced the long night and woke up all the disciples.
"Not good!"
Wu Mingzi saw a certain direction, his face changed greatly, and he used his flying trick to float straight down the mountain.
When I arrived at the place, more than a dozen disciples showed their abilities and were doing their best to exterminate rats. The farmland is full of brilliance, and magic weapons are flying around, but they are still a drop in the bucket.
This is where the farmland of Qingcheng Mountain is located, and the black-haired rats that are wreaking havoc in the fields are several times the size of the granary!
"Abbot, what now?"
"Don't panic, the innate disciples take the lead, in groups of ten, and go to all places to exterminate rats, especially in places where food is intensive. ”
Wu Mingzi was very decisive and ordered: "Don't worry about anything else, do your best to kill, don't leave trouble!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, Qingcheng Mountain was all in action, hundreds of people were organized in an orderly manner, and the lights were bright, as if it was daytime.
Before I knew it, it was dawn, and the battle was over.
The mountain gate was in shambles, and there were traces of spells everywhere, in the woods, on the mountain paths, on the rooftops, and in the streams...... It was full of dead rats, charred black, frozen, or torn apart, exuding a disgusting smell.
The most disgusting thing is to dig a burrow at random, and you may find a litter of newborn young mice, as few as five or six, as many as a dozen, not as pink as normal young mice, ugly in shape, with short black hair, and terrifying.
Wu Mingzi and other high-level officials were standing in front of the hall, listening to the disciples report their injuries, and the more they listened, the more heartbroken they became.
Eighty percent of the rice grain stored in the view is gone, and the remaining two percent do not know whether they can eat it, and the seedlings in the fields are completely destroyed, so it can be said that there is no harvest this year.
Not only that, but the trees, flowers, and rhizomes on the mountain were also bitten in a mess, and many people died.
Except that they don't hurt anyone, they seem to be unaggressive towards people.
This is a blessing in misfortune, Wu Mingzi sighed secretly in his heart, and at the same time he was very angry, and he must find out who is behind the scenes!
"Senior brother, senior brother!"
"Come on, come on!"
At this moment, there was a sudden burst of exclamations from somewhere, and Wu Mingzi's green muscles jumped, and he felt that something bad had happened again. Several people rushed to the scene and found a disciple lying on the ground, his face pale and his lips purple.
He probed into his inner breath to check, and the other party's essence was rapidly depleting, and there were many shadows in his body, showing signs of poisoning.
Poisoning......
Gomeiko glanced up and saw a rat corpse lying in the ditch not far away, its body already swollen, and its black hair was tinged with a strange blue color.
"The rat body is plagued, don't get close!"
His expression changed greatly, and he immediately raised his voice up and down, "All the disciples listened to the order, and if they found the rat corpse, destroy it immediately and completely, don't come closer, take the pill first!"
At the same time, Wu Zhenzi had already fed his disciple an elixir, and his luck melted to help dissolve the toxin as soon as possible.
After about a quarter of an hour, the disciple's complexion improved, but he was still weak.
And over there, everyone was startled when they heard it, and they took out the jade bottles one after another. Even then, there were dozens of unlucky guys who got hit.
The toxins carried by the black rats are very powerful, and although they cannot kill the monks, they will lose their energy and move slowly, such as if they are seriously ill.
In the blink of an eye, the situation worsened, directly beyond the ability of Qingcheng Mountain.
Goakiko was worried and was thinking about whether to ask for help from the Taoist Academy, when there was a sudden commotion at the bottom of the mountain.
After a while, the disciple rushed up with a few people, and fell to his knees, crying and howling: "Dao Chief, save people! Several towns under the mountain have all been plagued by rats, and all the grain has been eaten overnight, and the farmland and livestock have not been spared, and there is not a single thing left!"
"What's going on now?" asked Satoru Mako.
"Some of them are still in the town, and some of them are leaving, and they are going to Dujiangyan!"
"What?"
Goakiko and others almost fell, and what the rodent infestation is most afraid of is the spread of the range, and the more people they come into contact with, the greater the lethality. Moreover, the rat's body is poisonous, even monks can poison it, and mortals are afraid that they will be killed.
He didn't hesitate any longer, and shouted repeatedly: "Report immediately, ask for support!"
…………
Rats are old rivals of human beings, and it is not terrible to be plagued by rats, but it is the infectious virus they carry.
"Dead rats in the east, dead rats in the west, people see dead rats like tigers. A few days after the rat died, the human died like a block......" is probably the most vivid depiction.
Even before the revival of Reiki, there were frequent outbreaks of rat infestations in various parts of the country. For example, in Dongting Lake, whenever the summer flood season comes, the flood water pours into the rat hole, and the vole climbs over the embankment into the farmland, thus forming a rodent infestation.
In the entire Dongting Lake area, there are about 2 billion oriental voles.
Therefore, after Qingcheng Mountain reported the situation, both the official and the Taoist Institute felt that things were strange and attached great importance to it.
The twelve disciples of the upper courtyard of the Taoist Academy, He He has become an immortal, Han Tang and Yu Lianzhi are recuperating from their injuries, so Fei Qin and Lin Siyi led the army, and all nine immortals went out.
The official was more experienced, and sent a joint team of experts and monks to rush to Bashu.
As for Wu Chao and the brick of Dai Xiao, no one has paid attention to it for a long time.
(There is also a ...... at night HOHO)
