It was already dark, and I was worried about Lele's safety, so I hid the child's body in the bushes and hurried to the mountain.

"Now at this time, going up the mountain is no different from sending you to death, you have to wait for the rat spirit to get drunk at night before you have a chance to do it." The old bachelor persuaded behind him.

"There was no Lele in the group of children just now, I estimate that the children in Zhangjiagou have become empty shells now, and when the rat spirit gets drunk, Lele will already die."

The old bachelor stomped his foot angrily, glanced at the corpse of the child in the bushes, and hurried after him.

The old mother temple of Lishan at night looks a little gloomy, because our Zhangjiagou is located in a place surrounded by mountains, it is difficult to use electricity, the old mother temple is built on the side and high, and the temple gate has not had time to be electrified at all.

There were two white candles lit on the incense table in the temple, illuminating the entire old mother temple in a miserable white and gloomy cold, and when I walked to the south mountain, there were a few children in the temple gobbling up things on the table full of food, and one by one they kept their bellies round and did not stop.

I looked around and didn't find Lele in this group of children, so I went around to the side of the old mother's temple and saw a bright light in a room from a distance.

I didn't dare to get too close, so I hid behind a big tree and looked into the house, only to see the mouse standing on the edge of the bed, and in front of me stood two children with a sluggish expression, one of whom was Lele.

With a smile on her face, the mouse spirit pulled the slightly thin child to her, stretched out her long, pointed nails from the long sleeves, the nails sank into the middle of the child's collarbone, and then slowly slashed down, the tearing sound of the flesh made the mouse essence expression very enjoyable, until a clearly visible crack appeared on the child's belly.

The mouse essence slammed his hands hard, the child's belly was completely opened, revealing the internal organs that were still beating inside, the child's face was sweating painfully, but he did not cry, and the mouse essence lifted the child's ribs and buried the whole long face into the child's chest.

There was a gobbling sound, and I couldn't help but retch.

After the rat had eaten the child's internal organs, the child had stopped breathing, she opened her throat, and a mouse that was not very big crawled out, chirped twice and burrowed into the child's abdomen, and after a while the child began to blink.

The rat licked the child's cracked wound, and the wound made a snorting sound and smoked, and the child's abdomen quickly healed.

The child, who had become an empty shell, walked out quietly, and the mouse spirit looked at Lele greedily and said, "Look at the one who raised you for nothing, the old mother didn't hurt you in vain." ”

As he spoke, the mouse spirit pulled Lele to him, sniffing greedily, Lele's face showed a frightened expression, his eyes were sometimes sober and sometimes confused, he pouted and said, "Mother, I hurt ......"

"It doesn't hurt, how can my mother be willing to let you hurt." The rat grinned kindly, then stretched out his finger and placed it in the middle of Lele's collarbone.

I picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at it.

The stone slammed into the head of the rat essence, and the mouse essence was stunned for a moment, looked out the window with his teeth bared, and ran out on all fours.

I crouched in the bushes and threw another stone down the hill, and the rat spirit immediately chased after me.

As soon as the mouse spirit left, I quickly jumped in through the window, and I patted Lele's face and said, "Lele, wake up." ”

Lele's eyes returned to clarity, and he said with a crying voice: "Brother Zhang Yang, I'm afraid." ”

"Don't be afraid, come out with me."

As I spoke, I took Lele's arm and walked out, and the children in the big temple who were gobbling up food stopped when they heard the movement, looked at me with a dull expression, and then buried their heads in eating.

As soon as Lele and I came out of the temple gate, we saw the mouse spirit standing at the door, looking at me with a smile and saying, "Zhang Yang, there is only one consequence of blasphemy, death!" ”

As soon as the mouse spirit finished speaking, a rope suddenly fell around her neck, pulling her whole person away and dragging her to the ground, and the person who came was the old bachelor!

The old bachelor held the rope in one hand, pulled the four-hooved rat spirit to him, and with the other hand, he held the demon pestle and thrust it into the rat's chest!

The rat spirit screamed, the long tail flicked, and suddenly wrapped around the old bachelor's neck, throwing the old bachelor four or five meters away, and then the mouse spirit turned over and pulled out the demon pestle inserted in the chest.

Black smoke was rising from the mouse's wounds, blood dripping on the ground, and she looked at the old man in annoyance, and the fangs in her mouth grew wildly in an instant.

At the beginning, the old bachelor also gave me a demon pestle, and I smeared black dog blood on the demon pestle, but I was afraid that my mother would be retaliated by the yellow skin, so I gave the demon pestle to my mother, and it was good to defend myself at a critical moment.

At the moment, the mouse essence was injured by the sneak attack of the old bachelor, and the old face was so angry that her face was hideous, her eyes trembled, her pupils suddenly contracted, and the next moment the old bachelor suddenly knelt on the ground, grabbed his neck with both hands, and kicked his legs straight.

"Old bachelor, wake up!"

I shouted at the old bachelor and tried to break his hand that was holding me, but when the rat went behind my back, I jerked out my saber and stuck it in the rat's waist!

The rat screamed in pain, and as soon as I drew my saber, smoke and sneering from her wound.

The old bachelor said that the blood of the Taoist family has a certain restraint effect on the demon, and when he came, the saber was smeared with his blood, which obviously caused a lot of damage to the rat essence, and I saw that the blow was successful, and raised my hand to stab the mouse essence in the neck again, but the mouse spirit grabbed my wrist and threw me violently against the temple wall.

Although the rat spirit was short, but the strength was amazing, I was thrown out and hit the wall, and fell down hard, and before I could get up, the mouse spirit suddenly rushed to me, opened its fangs and bit my neck.

The old bachelor came to his senses at this time, grabbed the long tail of the rat essence and dragged it back, I saw this and pounced on it, hugged the neck of the mouse essence, but the mouse spirit struggled on all fours, and suddenly stopped maintaining its human form, and ran out of the collar of the black robe, knocking me down.

This huge rat's pupils were dark and cunning, staring at me like an abyss under the night, my whole body muscles were stiff for a while, and I couldn't move at all, the big rat got into the black robe, the black robe agitated, and it in my eyes once again transformed into the appearance of a black cannon old lady.

The rat spirit approached me, leaned on my body with a long pointed nose and sniffed, and said in a hoarse and old voice: "For Xiaobai's sake, I won't kill you, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is inescapable. ”

The mouse spirit said, hehe laughed, she was close to my face, and her cheekbones could reach my cheeks, I don't know why she mentioned Xiaobai at this time, when I thought that Xiaobai was transformed by this beast, I was so disgusted that I wanted to vomit!

The mouse's slender nails scraped against my face, and she rolled her tongue to reveal a wet mouse, and then broke my mouth open and let the mouse crawl in.

I tried my best to struggle but to no avail, and at this moment, the old bachelor rushed over again, and a yellow talisman in his hand was attached to the back of the mouse spirit!

The yellow talisman was attached to his back, and immediately turned into flying ashes, and the rat spirit grinned: "It's just the talisman drawn by your miscellaneous old master, and you want to use talismans against me for this little bit of Taoism, it's just a shame!" ”

The old bachelor looked ashamed, and when he saw that the mouse was about to crawl into my mouth, he immediately bit his index finger, and wrote something on the palm of his hand very quickly, reciting some kind of mysterious and incomprehensible mantra, and after aiming his palm at the rat essence, the movement of the mouse essence came to an abrupt end.

I immediately regained consciousness, grabbed the mouse that was about to crawl into my mouth and fell to the ground, and then picked up the saber on the ground, but the old bachelor said: "Don't hurt her, once she is injured, my immobilization method will be invalid immediately, if you can't kill her, hurry down the mountain and tell the village chief about it." ”

"And what do you do?" I asked.

"I have my own way, you go first, this method of fixing the body can only last half a pillar of incense at most, and it may not be enough for you to run to the village." The old bachelor said, his hand trembling, and his face was sweating.

The old bachelor was too shallow, and it was obvious that it was too far-fetched for him to trap the rat essence.

I didn't say anything more, picked up Lele, who looked sluggish not far away, and ran down the mountain.

When I arrived at the village chief's house, I told the village chief everything that had happened, and at first I thought the village chief would not believe it, but he sighed, turned his head and went back to the house, and after a while took out a large gong and struck it at the head of the village.

The deafening sound of the gong sounded, and every household went out, and soon the villagers gathered, and everyone was confused, not knowing what was happening.

The village chief raised his voice and said, "I have gathered everyone here because something big will happen tonight!" ”

"What's the matter, the village chief, to gather everyone out in the middle of the night?" Someone asked with a sleepy look.

The village chief said: "When the devil invaded China, there was a plague in our village, and the children in the village all had a high fever overnight, vomiting and diarrhea, but fortunately, an old Taoist priest came to the mountain at that time, saying that as long as a fox fairy temple was built at the head of the village, within two days, the children would be cured. Sure enough, within two days, the children all recovered their health, at that time I asked Ma Daoist what was the cause of the plague, Ma Daoist said, there is a mouse essence in the underground of our village! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, but the village chief immediately said again: "That mouse essence is the old mother of Li Shan on Nanshan!" ”

The village chief's words suddenly made the villagers explode, and one of the old men said sharply: "Zhang Youde, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" Li Shan's mother manifested miracles, cured diseases and saved people, everyone saw it with their own eyes, that is what you can blaspheme? ”

"That's right, village chief, look at your age, aren't you old and confused, you are not the only one in our village who is older, why don't they know about this, where did the rat essence come from?" Someone asked.

The village chief shook his head and said: "It's not just the rat essence, the previous white fox, weasel, big snake and hedgehog were all sealed in Zhangjiagou by Ma Daoist, according to what he said, what is this called the Five Immortal Array, it is to suppress a more powerful thing!" ”
