Chapter 39: Butterflies make trouble
Xiao Yu didn't know what kind of monster this insect king was, but he thought that he should be a cultivator insect who opened some spiritual wisdom, just like a mountain god, so he made the female ghost called the insect king.
Just do it, although this insect has nothing to do with you, but after all, it is a matter in the village, if you don't care about it, you will be called a white-eyed wolf by the villagers, and as an orphan of Maoshan Mountain, I originally took it as my responsibility to do things for the heavens, but now I don't care about this kind of thing, I am afraid that it will not be beneficial to my cultivation! And Xiao Yu also knew that everything that happened here was paid attention to by Chenghuang, so it was better to behave well, and if there was anything in the future, he would ask Chenghuang for help.
The mountain god is still the same mouse as before, and after Xiao Yu burned the talisman, he appeared in front of Xiao Yu again, but now the mountain god looks a little tired, and the hair on his body has no luster at all, and there are scars everywhere.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Yu looked at the mountain god and asked in surprise.
"I'm ashamed to say that in my jurisdiction, there are zombies, and this injury is caused by the fight with zombies," the mouse lay on the ground.
Because Xiao Yu and their mountain is a very large mountain range, there are people on both sides of the mountain, and it is normal for the tomb to be on the mountain, but there are zombies, which is more serious, and there are generally powerful evil spirits, and the mountain gods will join hands with the land to kill, if they can't beat it, they will report to the city god! But now that Xiao Yu and their land have been killed, this mountain god is fighting alone, so it is no wonder that he will be injured.
"Could it be that the zombies in the tomb are already alive?" Xiao Yu hurriedly asked.
"Yes, Dao Chief, the zombies on the periphery of the tomb have been awakened by the tomb thieves, and the zombies inside the tomb have not woken up yet! I just use the power of the mountain god to suppress the zombies, but this can't be controlled for a few days, as long as there are mortals entering, the zombies will continue to wake up."
"Since there are still a few days left, let's put it for now! Pay more attention, if you have anything to tell me in advance, I can find someone to help, after all, your strength is limited, the land is dead, I don't want you to follow in the footsteps."
"Thank you, Chief! By the way, when I came out of the ancient tomb, I took a treasure by the way, and the Taoist saw if I could use it."
After speaking, the mouse grabbed in the mud under him, and suddenly a small jade finger was dug out by him, this jade finger is not big, only the size of an adult's thumb, and it is red all over, which is a little different from the green finger.
"Jade plate finger?" Xiao Yu said happily.
"Hehe, Dao Chief, this is not an ordinary jade plate finger, but a blood jade plate finger, blood jade is much more precious than those ordinary jade" As he spoke, the mouse picked up the plate finger with its two front legs and gave it to Xiao Yu.
"Blood jade plate finger, is it a blood-stained thing? Then this thing is unlucky, right? Xiao Yu's face bloomed with joy, and he flipped through a few pits with his fingers, and then put it on his thumb.
"Hehe, what the Taoist chief said is just a kind of blood jade, but this blood jade plate finger is not blood-stained, but formed by natural blood jade, and then it is made into a plate finger, and it should be worth a little money now."
Xiao Yu is very satisfied with this board finger, but although this thing is good, but the mountain god sent it for no reason, I am afraid that it is not nothing, so after playing with the board finger, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "This thing is good, what do you want me to help you do, you just say, as long as I can help, I will help."
As soon as the mouse heard this, his little eyes rolled, and he immediately said, "The mouse has been in the mountains since birth, and has never been out of the mountains, and when the mouse was napping on the mountain a few days ago, I heard a bird say that the place outside is very lively, so I think when the Taoist grows out in the future, I can take me with me."
Xiao Yu originally thought that this mouse would ask him to help him get promoted, but he didn't expect to take it out to see the world by himself, so he couldn't help grinning and "Okay, this is simple, when I go to college outside, I'll take you with me."
"But that's all for later, do you know what I'm looking for you today?"
The rat did not stand up this time, but lay on the ground and said, "Presumably, the Taoist chief came to me to ask about the insects that appeared overnight in this mountain forest, right?" ”
"Yes, as a mountain god, you should know about the things here, right?"
"Well, know some".
"These insects are the offspring of a moth, and the moth has broken its cocoon five or six times into a butterfly, and has not been culled, so it has wisdom, and the insects on this mountain listen to her! Although I am a mountain god, I cultivate to win with her, but her actions are strange, and even I am difficult to find."
"Cocooning into a butterfly? You're saying it's a butterfly? Xiao Yu asked a little incomprehensibly.
"Yes, it's a butterfly, that colorful butterfly doesn't know what the chance, it only needs to turn into a cocoon once in ten years, so the cultivation is fifty or sixty years, she has been hiding very well before, I haven't found her, since the female ghost killed the land, so that this mountain land was affected, she came out to move, I know, but after I rushed over, she was gone."
In the Maoshan books, Xiao Yu has seen some knowledge about the cultivation of birds and beasts, but most of the people who can cultivate are some beasts, like birds, and insects are still rare, just like the fox, yellow, white, willow, and gray that are circulated among the people, these five kinds are all beasts, but there are not many records of insect cultivation in Taoist books.
When Xiao Yu was a child, he saw his grandfather kill a snake in a village just for disaster, the snake because the villagers were grazing cattle, disturbed him to sleep, he used the snake skin he took off, wrapped around the herdsman's body as a punishment, and the villagers who herded the cattle after going back, the whole body grew a circle of snake scales, injections and medicine were useless, and finally died, the villagers were afraid, so they found Xiao Yu's grandfather, and then the ins and outs of the matter were clarified.
"This colorful butterfly is only fifty or sixty years old, but how to control so many pests?" Xiao Yu continued to ask.
The mouse scratched the hair on his body, lay on the ground and said, "I am also very puzzled about this, but there are not many insects on the mountain now, and only a small part of the orchard is eaten, and it is estimated that the colorful butterfly also has scruples."
Xiao Yu frowned, and couldn't help but say, "Those insects should be the descendants of the butterfly, if those insects are there, the butterfly should also be around, her cultivation is not high, and she should not be able to transform into shape, so it should be easy to deal with, let's go to the mountain first to see if there is any trace of the butterfly."
Just when Xiao Yu and the mountain god were thinking of a way together, footsteps sounded outside the door, hearing this familiar voice, Xiao Yu knew that it was his father who came back, after all, in the entire village, only his father had a leg problem, so the footsteps were different from others'.
"You go back first, pay more attention to the situation of butterflies and ancient tombs, and tell me immediately if you have something" Waving his hand at the mouse, Xiao Yu hid the jade plate finger in his hand in his clothes, and then walked outside.
