Chapter 12: A Campfire in the Wilderness
Lin Junxuan never thought that a dynasty that had flourished for thousands of years would break like this, there were many doubts in this, but no matter what, it was a fact that the Yu Dynasty had perished. And that was three hundred years ago, Lin Junxuan didn't plan to get to the bottom of it, this kind of thing was immediately involved in the cultivation world, and when he was high in cultivation and came into contact with the secrets of the cultivation world, he would naturally know what was going on back then.
What he was interested in at the moment was this mouse, it was obviously illiterate, why did it come into contact with such a secret? Also, how did a mouse be practiced by students, Lin Junxuan intuitively felt that there was a story behind it.
"How do you know these secrets?" Lin Junxuan said with interest as he stared at Luo Shu.
Luo Shu glared at Lin Junxuan: "This is my secret, why should I tell you!"
"Do you still want to learn this 'One Leaf Array', you don't seem to have finished learning it yet. With that, Lin Junxuan looked at Luo Shu with a smile.
Sure enough, life-saving things are very attractive to insecure rat demons. His eyes stared at Lin Junxuan, Luo Shu struggled very much, and then said, "I told you you can, but you must not leak it out." β
There is nothing wrong with this, Lin Junxuan readily agreed.
"It was Shao Gong, the minister of the Yu Dynasty, who taught me Taoism," Luo Shu showed a look of remembrance on his face: "Four hundred years ago, I was just a mouse in Shao Gong's mansion, born with white fur. One day, I accidentally fell into Shao Gong's pen holder. Shao Gong was kind-hearted, gave me something to eat, and let me go. At that time, I relied on instinct. I just felt that there was food in the study, and the person in the study would not harm me, so I crawled over every day. After many times, he became familiar with Shao Gong. After a long time, Shao Gong began to teach me the method of absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth. After learning the method of absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth, I gradually opened up my spiritual wisdom and slowly learned the art of cultivation. β
"In the study, I listened to Shao Gong read the sage books every day, read the chapters, listened to what he said a lot, and slowly learned to speak. However, I don't know if it's because our rat people's qualifications are limited to my own qualifications, although I learn to speak quickly, but I just can't read. The only two words I know are my name. Speaking of which, Luo Shu was a little frustrated.
This is not necessarily his qualification, it is likely that he just doesn't want to learn his own surname. Lin Junxuan thought in his heart. The rat's favorite thing is to eat, and they don't care much about anything other than what they eat. Although Luoshu is in the form of sincerity and benevolence, after all, the body is a mouse, and for a mouse, when it is strong, it can eat more food, so he will be willing to practice Taoism, can speak, can communicate with people, and can communicate with other people, as for literacy, will a mouse think that literacy is very important?
"What happened to Shao Gong?" Lin Junxuan asked.
"I didn't know, I felt the danger at that time, so I kept drilling into the ground, drilling to the deepest depths, and I didn't dare to come out until I heard the vibration above the Yu Dynasty. Luo Shu said.
It is instinct for rats to burrow, a rat demon who has opened his mind and learned the Tao technique is naturally extremely fast, as long as he drills deep enough, it is reasonable to be able to pass this disaster.
The battle in Lin'an City was nearing its end, and under the double deterrence of the Kui Drum and the Broken God Crossbow, the masters of the good and evil realms were almost killed and wounded.
"This purple-clothed marquis's methods are ruthless enough, and he actually doesn't let go of even the strong men of the righteous path!" Lin Junxuan thought as he looked at the battle below, but the cultivator seemed to look down on the royal power in the human world. Although the purple-clothed marquis had warned, these righteous powerhouses did not listen to it, and in the end, it led to such an ending.
"Lin'an City is the mansion of the Marquis of Ziyi, and the Mansion of the Marquis of Ziyi was destroyed, so it is no wonder that the Marquis of Ziyi acted resolutely, regardless of good and evil. It's just that even if he knew that the Purple Yi Marquis was in a high position in the Central Dragon Court and that he was powerful in his own right, why would the Evil Thoughts Sect choose Lin'an City? There must be a reason for this. Lin Junxuan thought silently in his heart.
Lin Junxuan thought of Luo Qiyan's brothers and sisters, and then thought of Mrs. Ziyihou, and vaguely understood something in his heart. The Evil Thoughts Sect sent people to kidnap Luo Qiyan's brothers and sisters, and took advantage of the absence of the Marquis of Ziyi in Lin'an City to unite with the palace guards of King Pingding to attack the Marquis of Ziyi's mansion, trying to kidnap the Marquis of Ziyi, obviously trying to use the children and wife of the Marquis of Ziyi to hold him hostage. With only the wife and children of the Purple Marquis in their hands, the Purple Marquis will inevitably throw a rat into the trap, and the Evil Thoughts Sect's operation may not be impossible to succeed. It's just that this matter was inadvertently encountered by himself, and this is the good thing of the Evil Thoughts Sect.
Lin Junxuan was secretly vigilant in his heart, the incident in Lin'an City alarmed the Central Dynasty, and also alarmed both good and evil, and the Evil Mind Sect paid a huge price for this operation. The key to the failure of this operation is that the Ziyi Hou Hui and Luo Qiyan brothers and sisters were not caught, the three of them did not know martial arts, and the masters of the Evil Thoughts Sect did not catch them, and the reasons for the failure would inevitably be reviewed afterwards. As long as you have a heart, you will inevitably find that there are many arrows pointing to you afterwards.
"Lin'an City can't stay anymore, I have to leave here!" Thinking of this, Lin Junxuan turned around and said to Luo Shu: "I will teach you all the 'One Leaf Array' until you learn it, but I also hope you can do me a favor." You should be very good at burrowing, and I hope you can take me to the nearest city here. β
"Yes, I just need your stealth ability, so I don't have to stay underground every day. Luo Shu rubbed his palms and couldn't help but say with joy.
Lin Junxuan secretly shook his head in his heart: "This is an extremely insecure rat demon. "Despite being beaten by this rat demon, Lin Junxuan still feels good about him, at least, he is not very bad.
"Except for the well of the Ziyi Marquis Mansion, all other water sources in Lin'an City have been poisoned. Even if the Hongji Dynasty took over Lin'an City, the city would be useless. Let's get out of here. β
"That's good. Luo Shu grinned, grabbed Lin Junxuan with one hand, and as soon as he poked his body, he escaped into the ground again. The rat demon's ability to burrow was really strong, and Lin Junxuan almost watched the two measurements of dirt flying, and the following passages were mined underground at an extreme speed. Luo Shu seems to have a very sharp instinct, and he is always able to avoid large rocks underground. The direction in which he digs the hole is also very directional, as if he can penetrate the bottom layer.
"How much of a swarm of rats can you control?" Lin Junxuan suddenly asked.
"It's such a big area as Lin'an City, why do you ask this?" Luo Shu replied casually, he seemed to be accustomed to his own abilities.
"I see that when you dig a hole, you seem to be able to see through the rock formations underground, so you must have controlled the other rats and possessed their ability to generate vision. Lin Junxuan said.
"Hey, you're right, kid, I'm starting to like you a little. Lin Junxuan's words from the rat clan seemed to make Luo Shu very happy, he laughed and said, "That's right. It's my instinct. After our demon clan cultivates to the Jindan stage, it will have the ability to transform into shapes, and at the same time, it will often be accompanied by some other racial abilities. This can be regarded as God's reward for the much more time it takes for us demon clan to cultivate than humans. β
"I'm only a second-grade Jindan now, the stronger my strength, the greater the scope I can control the rat clan. The more I can reach the realm of heaven and man, and cultivate two flowers on the top of my head, the more I can control the rat clan in the entire world. Hahaha......" Luo Shu said happily.
Although Lin Junxuan's expression remained unchanged, his heart was shaken. Rats can be found anywhere in any city. Wilderness, city, corner. Rooftops, underground, walls, trees...... Rats can appear anywhere. Luoshu is able to control a rat race in such a large area while sharing their vision and hearing, which means that Luoshu almost has the ability to monitor a city in all directions. Luo Shu himself has not yet realized the perversion of this ability, but once this ability is used in intelligence, especially if he can reach the Heavenly Human Stage and become a Rat Demon of the Heavenly Human Stage, he will have the ability to monitor the entire world! Nothing can escape his sight. Lin Junxuan believed that this ability would be stronger than any audio-visual Dao technique!
"Boom!"
Lin Junxuan was being taken by Luo Shu to walk underground, and suddenly, a huge force blasted down through the underground rock formations, and the underground shook violently. Luo Shuwei screamed, "Not good!" The powerful force probed into the ground, turned into an invisible giant hand and enveloped Lin Junxuan, and shrank upward, a large area of mud and rock cracked, revealing a passage that went straight to the ground.
Luoshu drilled very deeply, and Lin Junxuan's body hit the layers of rocks, and the pain was extremely painful. Although that great force protected his heart and the vital points of his whole body, the pain was unavoidable. I don't know how long it took, the top of his head suddenly lit up, and Lin Junxuan finally came out of the ground.
"Don't worry, kid, you're safe now. An old voice came from his ears, Lin Junxuan felt a big hand with a callouse groping all over his body, he was as light as nothing in his hand, he turned over and over again, and every time he touched a place, the bones in that place would make a crisp sound.
"Yes, one in a million. Child, are you willing to follow me and be my protΓ©gΓ©?" asked in an old man's voice, Lin Junxuan's whole body was in pain, and he subconsciously let out a hmm in the haze, and then fainted.
......
I don't know how long it took, when Lin Junxuan woke up, it was already night. There was a crackling campfire burning in my ears. With the starry sky hanging high above his head, Lin Junxuan rolled over and got up from the ground, finding that he was in an unknown campfire camp, with many children sitting around him. They all lowered their heads and drank slowly in small bowls of soup, and the smell of fish soup was in the air. In the camp, there were several elegant middle-aged men, who also served fish soup and drank it slowly. The whole camp was silent.
