Chapter 19: Strange
Ye Cheng has one more job.
Raise Baoxiang rats.
Yu Zhen Daogu said that Baoxiang rats are difficult to raise, and they have harsh conditions for the living environment, food, etc.
Specialized breeding techniques are required.
"Eat, why don't you eat, if you don't eat, you'll starve to death."
Ye Cheng took a bowl of rice and put it in a bamboo cage.
It's just that the treasure rat is hiding in the corner, swishing and shivering.
Are you afraid of me?
Ye Cheng decided to leave the bamboo cage and go to practice the ape attack technique first.
When he came back from practice, the bowl of rice hadn't even moved, and the Baoxiang mouse was still curled up in place, with a pair of golden eyes, full of pitiful baba.
"Don't Bao Xiang rats like to eat?"
Ye Cheng thought to himself.
So he brought fresh meat, fruits, pastries, and so on....
But a day passed, and the Baoxiang mouse didn't move, just lying on its stomach and not moving.
Ye Cheng suspected that if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would starve to death in the end.
"Xiaobai, I've been looking for a long time in the library pavilion, and I don't know how to raise Baoxiang rats, and I also asked the cultivators of the Baiza Library, but they don't know."
Yu Zhen Daogu said, "If it really doesn't work, don't raise it, just take the sachet directly, although the effect will be discounted, it is not as good as the incense horns that grow." ”
Ye Cheng supported his chin with both hands, like a thinker, looking at the Baoxiang mouse in the bamboo cage.
Suddenly, his heart moved, and he had an idea.
So he left the bamboo hut and ran towards the bamboo forest.
When Aunt Yu Zhen saw this scene, she was a little curious, what is Xiaobai doing?
Ye Cheng had already come to the location of the trap where he had caught the Baoxiang rat earlier.
He crouched down and carefully identified the traces of the Bao Xiang rat's activity.
In his previous life, as a hunter with rich hunting experience, coupled with some physical talents of the white ape, he gradually found some activity paths of the Baoxiang mouse.
Some are more obvious, others are less obvious.
There was a long time ago, and there was a recent one.
I don't know how long it has been, Ye Cheng saw some traces of being eaten in a ditch at the edge of a bamboo forest more than 400 meters away from the soil cave.
"This is a pitcher?"
Ye Cheng carefully recognized.
One of the more common herbs in this world.
The reason why he knew him was naturally when Aunt Zhen Dao taught him to read and write.
"This cage is food for the Treasure Rat?"
Ye Cheng analyzed in his heart.
It's just that there are not many traces of gnawing, and there is a large area here.
After another half an hour, Ye Cheng found another trace that had been gnawed by the Baoxiang rat, but it was another kind of grass.
In the following period, he successively found several kinds of grasses or roots that had been eaten, and the distribution range was as far as six or seven hundred meters.
In order to find these traces, Ye Cheng almost conducted a carpet search.
It wasn't until late afternoon that Ye Cheng returned to the bamboo house.
Aunt Yu Zhen had already made dinner.
"Xiaobai, you're back, what are you doing with these herbs?"
She saw Ye Cheng grabbing a large handful of herbs, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Ye Cheng threw the herbs to the ground and shouted a few words while gesturing with both hands.
Then he put the herbs he had brought back into the bamboo cage.
The Baoxiang rat seemed to move, sniffed, but glanced at Ye Cheng vigilantly, and seemed to be a little afraid.
"Let's eat first, or the food will be cold."
Yu Zhen Daogu reminded.
Ye Cheng was already a little hungry, so he followed Yu Zhen Daogu into the house, and after hurriedly finishing the meal, he returned to the bamboo cage where the Baoxiang rat was kept.
The Bao Xiang rat, which was originally eating medicinal herbs, was frightened and shrank back into the corner.
Ye Cheng smiled.
I finally know what Baoxiang rats eat.
After a period of breeding, Ye Cheng found that the food of Baoxiang rats was all herbs, but... It eats so much that it eats only a little bit of everything, as if it were a fresh taste, and then it doesn't eat it.
Moreover, it also eats only the freshest.
Herbs that have been overnight, it doesn't even look at them.
"This little guy has a pretty mouthful, huh?"
Ye Cheng was full of emotion.
As a result, he had to collect various herbs every day and feed the Baoxiang rats.
It's not a tiring job, but it's a hassle.
Every day.
He felt like he had raised an ancestor.
If he didn't want to raise this treasure incense rat and then harvest the incense horn to make some preparations for breaking through the artistic conception in the future, he really wanted to roast this treasure rat and eat it.
It should be very fragrant.
......
A few days later.
Yu Zhen Daogu suddenly told Ye Cheng that she would temporarily leave Chongyang Temple for a while.
What exactly to do, Yu Zhen Daogu didn't say.
Ye Cheng couldn't help but be a little worried.
Last time, Aunt Yu Zhen Daogu went out for half a month and lost an arm.
During the time that Aunt Zhen Dao left, Ye Cheng became bored, and his cultivation was no longer energetic.
Fortunately, Aunt Zhen Dao didn't leave for too long, and she came back after more than half a month.
Under Ye Cheng's curious inquiry, Aunt Yu Zhen Daoist said the reason for going out this time.
It turned out that after becoming a Taoist master, he had to go out once a year to guard the Tao.
The task of guarding the road is mainly to remove some potential dangers and protect the safety of the people.
As a martial arts faction, Chongyang Guan has a strong force, so it naturally wants to protect one side.
This time, Yu Zhen Daogu participated in the task of guarding the Tao, and she didn't go alone, and there were many Taoist masters of Chongyang Temple, so the safety factor will be much greater.
"What potential danger?"
Ye Cheng came out of the bamboo hut with a piece of paper in his hand and a question written on it.
Yu Zhen Daogu lay on the chair and couldn't help but smile, this little white curiosity is really too heavy.
This curiosity has gradually moved away from the category of white apes.
However, no matter what outrageous things happened to Xiaobai, she would not find it strange.
Because she is used to Xiaobai's specialness.
"There are many potential dangers, such as mountain bandits and horse thieves, and this time we went out to exterminate a horse bandit's lair...... Xiaobai, mountain bandit and horse thief, you should be able to understand, I remember explaining it to you before. ”
Yu Zhen Daogu picked up a handful of melon seeds casually and talked while knocking.
Ye Cheng nodded hurriedly.
"This mountain bandit and horse thief is just the most ordinary source of risk, the danger is not high, and the other is the chaotic army.... Now the whole world is not peaceful, it is said that the imperial court has gradually lost control of the local states, rebellions occur very frequently, if you encounter a rebel army, it will be dangerous, even if my Chongyang concept is impacted, it will have a great impact. ”
Yu Zhen Daogu continued, "However, compared to the real danger, this is nothing. ”
Her tone gradually became solemn.
"Actually, in this world, the biggest risk comes from the monster...."
She seemed to think of something, and a coldness flashed in her eyes.
"Strange? What's the blame? ”
Ye Cheng hurriedly wrote out the words.
"An invisible, intangible, incomprehensible, mysterious, and dangerous source, once it appears, it will inevitably cause a bloody storm and a terrifying death....."
Yu Zhen Daogu looked at the words written by Xiaobai, and after a pause, she said slowly.
Even if Ye Cheng had human consciousness, he was confused.
Isn't this a pure martial arts world?
Why has the style of painting changed a little?
