Chapter 21: The Thunder Tribulation of the Rat Spirit
The rat spirit was silent for a while, his face rarely showed a trace of embarrassment, looked at me and shook his head and said, "This old body really doesn't know, you can change the question." ”
"How is that possible? How could you not know? ”
My voice is very loud, it can be said that I roared at the top of my throat, I was ruthlessly thrown down by my biological mother on this mountain, and then my master found it, this rat spirit is a self-proclaimed mountain god, how can I not know?
"This old body has no reason to lie to you, believe it or not."
The rat spirit still shook his head.
"Tell me, then, what do you know? All about me! I asked, staring at her.
"Is this your third question?" The rat spirit gave me a faint look.
"Yes! You tell me now! I nodded.
The rat spirit groaned for a moment, as if he didn't know how to speak, and only after a few minutes did he speak slowly.
"It doesn't matter if I tell you, and some things are not secrets...... Nineteen years ago, there was suddenly no water overnight in a radius of 100 miles, there was no water in the river, and there was no water on the mountain, no one knew the reason, but this was nine months! The people under the mountain are not happy, the mountain is not much better, the old body is a little unbearable for hundreds of years, not to mention some other things on the mountain, the people below the mountain run up the mountain to find water, and we are running down the mountain to find water, almost digging 300 feet of ground or no water, just when the old body is ready to move, a person suddenly came to the mountain......"
"Who?" Tianzhan couldn't help but ask.
"Zhang Daoling!" The rat spirit said calmly.
Tianzhan frowned, obviously not believing it, "Zhang Tianshi, who founded Zhengyi?" ”
I'm also a little confused, Zhang Daoling, I naturally know, this person is a real immortal, according to legend, he has the law of the old king, founded the Zhengyi League, slashed demons and demons all his life, and turned into an immortal afterwards, which is a very mythical figure.
However, let's not talk about what this drought has to do with me, whether this Daoling is real, or just the same name, who knows?
"It's not clear. Anyway, that person said that he was Zhang Daoling. ”
The rat spirit shook her head and said, she coughed a few times, and continued, "After this Daoling went up the mountain, I don't know what I did, and no one knows when he left, but early the next morning, there was a once-in-a-century blizzard on the mountain, and all the mountains were covered by snow, and snow is equal to water, we were surprised, and the people below the mountain were also surprised,......"
At this point, the rat spirit looked at me strangely again, "And you, that's when you appeared." ”
I frowned, and to tell the truth, I was very dissatisfied with the rat spirit's answer, and she avoided a point the whole time, did not say anything about me, and got into a mistake where she thought that my presence had caused the snow to fall.
"Old fellow, are you talking about books? Storytellers aren't as as you. Tianzhan scolded with a smile.
The rat spirit glanced at Tianzhan and continued, "There are some things that the old body needs to lie to you, I admit that this drought has nothing to do with the sudden blizzard, and it has nothing to do with him, but he suddenly appeared in the snow, and everyone, including the other old guys in the mountain, is not clear, you say, how to explain this?" ”
The smile on Tianzhan's face slowly disappeared, and he tilted his head to look at me, his face was also a little strange.
I wondered in my heart, this rat spirit really didn't know, or did he just make up a story to perfunctory me? After all, Zhang Tianshi Zhang Daoling has been pulled out, which is too mysterious.
I stared at the rat spirit and didn't speak, anyway, I already know where my mom is, find my mom, then she will definitely not lie to me.
Then we'll know if the rat spirit is lying, and maybe know something else about me.
"Okay, I've answered three questions, now it's time for you to answer one question."
The rat spirit stared at me.
I frowned, glanced at her and said, "You want me to tell you your fortune?" ”
"Oh?" The rat spirit was unimpressed.
Tianzhan also looked at me in surprise.
I stared at her and said slowly, "Although you are a rat spirit, the transformed human form is also another face of yours, and the roots of your ears are red, and three wrinkles are exposed in the palace, indicating that you have recently encountered something that you have been waiting for for a long time but are hesitating about." ”
The rat spirit's face changed slightly, and she seemed to be moved, and she slowly stood up from the Taishi chair.
"Coupled with the yellow spots in your eyes and your lips being too red, all of this shows that you are eager to know how to deal with this matter."
"And in your eyes, there is a trace of longing, longing for me, so you don't ask me to tell you a fortune, but, beg me to tell you a fortune!"
I said with the corners of my mouth curled.
After hearing this, Tianzhan gave me a thumbs up.
The rat spirit snorted lightly, "Count how much of your master's ability you have, yes, I have something I want you to calculate for me." ”
"Hehe, is it 'begging' or 'letting'?" I looked at the rat spirit faintly.
"Boy, don't get an inch!"
The fierce light flashed in the eyes of the rat spirit, "Didn't that bullshit master deliberately hide something from me last time, and forced me to promise him one thing, I need to let you calculate it for me?" ”
I frowned, "Last time?" When was the last time you said it was? ”
"Well, you're going to ask your master in person!" The rat said sarcastically.
My face is cloudy, Tianzhan entered the master's store and gave me an analysis, the master may also tell fortunes to ghosts and demons, could it be that this rat spirit personally went to the store to find the master fortune telling?
However, the face of the rat spirit shows that she appeared suddenly, and it should not be more than a week at most, that is, it must be counted before the master was seriously injured, so was the night when I slept in the middle of the night when I went up the mountain and the master continued to keep vigil?
This is unlikely, how could the master leave me alone and let me sleep alone in the barren mountains and wilderness? But he was going to tell the fortune of this mouse?
And after the calculation, I was seriously injured by my mother when I came back?
I felt like I was thinking nonsense.
Forcibly dispelling these doubts in my heart, I took a deep breath, looked at the rat spirit and said, "Okay, I can calculate it for you!" ”
"Count you as acquaintances!" The rat spirit snorted softly.
I got a little closer, stared at her for a moment, and suddenly my gaze was a little strange, "Are you pregnant?" ”
The rat spirit glared at me fiercely, and his cheeks flushed slightly, but he didn't deny it.
"My day, really fake? How old is this old guy to get pregnant?? ”
Tianzhan walked over with an incredulous face, looking at the rat spirit as if he was watching a monkey in a zoo, covering his mouth and chuckling.
"That's enough, the old body is just four hundred years old this year, which is equivalent to forty-five years old for you human women, why can't you get pregnant??"
The rat spirit jumped up from her chair, and her angry appearance almost got into a fight with Tianzhan.
I was speechless, this rat spirit does look quite young, but pregnancy is a good thing, why is she struggling?
Tianzhan laughed without the slightest fear, "Haha, old guy, are you going to find death by yourself?" If I remember correctly, the Jade Emperor in the sky is very disgusted with you rats too much, and they are very harmful, so every two hundred years, there will be a thunderstorm that specifically deals with your rat spirits. ”
"Huh? What's going on? ”
I was stunned when I heard this, and the face of the rat spirit was unusually ugly.
Tianzhan smiled and continued, "Don't forget, rats are one of the four evils, and you can't kill them all!" However, what made the Jade Emperor angry was to go back to the time when Tang Taizong first ascended the throne, at that time, all living beings felt that this was the Ming Jun, so everything went to worship, the happy Tang Taizong set up a banquet in the Daming Palace for three days and three nights, the banquet invited the world, the entire Chang'an was sleepless for three days, and the next day, Tang Taizong was drunk in the Daming Palace, but at this time, a mouse suddenly got into the banquet scene, and actually came to congratulate him. Tang Taizong and the ministers were all surprised, who had ever seen an animal talk at that time? This group of ministers slapped their horses for a while, saying that this mouse was a rat fairy who came to congratulate Tang Taizong on ruling the world! Tang Taizong was happy in his heart, so he set this mouse as a guest. ”
"But this mouse said that his descendants were about to starve to death, and wanted Tang Taizong to let his descendants come in, and let his descendants eat for three days and three nights, Tang Taizong thought about it, isn't it just some mice? Anyway, it was a happy day, so I agreed, but I didn't expect the mouse to call a few times, and countless mice poured out of nowhere, densely packed, almost submerged the Daming Palace, and after a few efforts, all the things in the Daming Palace were eaten, Tang Taizong was also startled on the spot, and immediately opened his mouth to let the mouse leave with its descendants, but this mouse is very smart, saying that you are the emperor, how can you talk and not count? Tang Taizong was at a loss, so he could only let countless rats eat it, and Chang'an was empty in half a day, and then transferred the place and continued to eat, and those people didn't dare to stop it, after all, these rats had the emperor's order! After eating for three days and three nights, he ate the rations of hundreds of thousands of people, and then swaggered away, and then these people starved to death because of no food, and the Jade Emperor in the sky couldn't stand it, so he immediately sent Lei Gong to hit a thunderbolt down, and killed the mouse on the spot, and ordered that every two hundred years, the rat that became a fine will experience a thunderstorm! In the past thousand years, I don't know how many rat spirits have died in the thunderstorm......"
Speaking of this, Tianzhan was also amazed, "Moreover, each time the thunder tribulation will be more powerful than the last time, so, how can this old guy resist the thunder tribulation with the body of a pregnant woman??" ”
Hearing this, I suddenly realized in my heart, indeed, I have also heard of such a thing as thunder tribulation, the master once told me before, when there is no rain, but there is a "drought thunder", which is the so-called thunder tribulation of some spirits!
With a pregnant body, it is indeed difficult to resist the thunderstorm.
"Shut up?! You don't need to remind the old body of this! The rat spirit looked ugly and said coldly.
Tianzhan smiled and didn't speak.
"So you mean to ask me, if you are a pregnant woman, how sure can you survive the thunderstorm?" I asked, groaning.
"Not bad! Your master meant to force the little guy out of the body quickly, but I ......"
The rat spirit said and sighed, "The old body has lived for four hundred years, it's enough, all my children died in the drought nineteen years ago, and now I finally have my own children, and the old body wants to give birth to ......"
Tianzhan and I exchanged glances, Tianzhan pursed his lips and didn't speak.
I took a closer look at her life palace, how to say it, there is a layer of imperceptible darkness in her life palace, and this darkness has been condensed for a long time, and it is obviously time to break out, that is to say, no matter whether she has a child in her belly this time, her chances of surviving the thunder tribulation this time will not be high, and even to say that it is ugly, nine deaths and one life!
I didn't know what to tell her, and watching the rat spirit subconsciously touch her stomach, my admiration was also bitter.
How many rats are in a litter? Even these children threatened their lives, but as a mother, the rat spirit was still reluctant to hurt the child in her belly.
But what about my birth mother? When she gave birth to me, she left me in the snow, how did she feel at that time? It doesn't take me to think about it, I know how cold she looked at the time.
It's all, people can't compare to rats, maybe I'm too unlucky.
