Chapter 15: The Tomb of the Rat Family
People say that they are as timid as a mouse is true, this mouse spirit found out that Gu Shiyi is a cultivator, much more powerful than himself, he really didn't dare to make a mistake, he stayed here honestly all night, and waited until the sky was bright, and the birds in the forest chirped and sang, and Gu Shiyi woke up.
She first went to the creek to wash her face, rinsed her mouth again, and then ate breakfast on the dry bun from last night, and then she was about to go on the road, and the mouse looked at the listless old horse and the tattered carriage, and was a little dumbfounded,
"Your Excellency sits in such a carriage?"
Gu Shiyi sat on the throne and nodded,
"yes, what's wrong?"
The rat spirit circled around the carriage, and said with some disgust,
"How can such a broken carriage be on the road......"
Gu Shiyi spread his hands,
"There's no way, cultivators don't value money, just a little silver, they can only buy such a broken car!"
The rat's eyes turned around,
"My lord, a group of mountain bandits who I sucked off Jingyuan in front of me once robbed a rich family passing by, and they killed all of them.
They drove the carriage to carry the stolen goods, and then the stolen goods were scraped by them, and the horses pulling the carriage were also killed, leaving a carriage to throw in the mountains, and the little one saw that the carriage was made of fine wood, and it had not been wormed for several years, which was much better than the adult's one! ”
Gu Shiyi's eyes lit up when he heard this,
"Where?"
The rat spirit pointed to the mountain,
"...... on the other side of the mountain"
Gu Shiyi thought about it and immediately decided,
"Then I don't want this car!"
Then he jumped out of the cart, untied the horse, and took it in his hand.
"Let's walk over!"
Anyway, this broken car is about to fall apart, so it's better to change it, the mouse nodded, looked at the old and thin horse, and touched his chin,
"If the adult can trust the small, it is better to follow the smaller, and the small one can lead the adult to a shortcut!"
Gu Shiyi looked it up and down and asked,
"What's the shortcut?"
This mountain road was walked by her when she went out with the old Taoist priest two years ago, and it is already a shortcut compared to the big road outside, what other shortcuts are there for this rat essence?
Rats hey hey laughing,
"My lord, the best thing we can do is to make a hole, and this mountain is ......."
So saying, he pointed to his feet,
"The bottom of this mountain has been hollowed out by small ones, and there are all directions inside, not a small boast, this big mountain is a hundred miles in circumference, and there is a way to go wherever you want......"
Gu Shiyi squinted at him,
"You let us go into your lair with you, you don't want to trick us into getting into killing us, do you?"
The rat spirit waved his hand again and again,
"The adult laughed, you are a person who cultivates the truth, how dare the little one make a move at you, I didn't know the identity of the adult before, but now that I know, how dare I do it!"
Gu Shiyi looked at him for a long time, and saw that the back of the rat essence was cold for a while, and then she nodded and said,
"Alright, you're leading the way!"
This rat didn't lie, it has lived in this mountain for eight hundred years, this whole mountain has long been hollowed out by it, it led Gu Shiyi to a little inconspicuous cave mouth outside, pushed away the weeds at the entrance of the cave, and got into it first, Gu Shiyi held the broken crockpot in one hand, and led the old horse in the other, the old horse carried her baggage, and slowly followed.
The entrance of the cave is a little narrow, but the height is just enough for the old horse to bow his head into, Gu Shiyi looked around, and saw that the rocks at the entrance of the cave were full of moss, and at first glance, no one had moved around for many years, and he saw the bottom of the cave after only three zhang after entering, Gu Shiyi was puzzled,
"Didn't you say it was a hole you dug out, it doesn't look like it?"
The rat spirit turned around and smiled at her,
"This outer hole is naturally formed, and the inside is only dug out of small ones, if there are ordinary people who break in without knowing the details, they will think that they have reached the end and will not go forward again......"
As he spoke, it walked to the cave wall, where there were old tree roots from the top of the cave, winding and climbing down, the mouse essence made a squeak in its mouth, and those old tree roots suddenly came to life, crawling quickly to both sides like a snake, bringing the soil to fall down, revealing a very wide hole, Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows and looked at the mouse essence,
"You've got two hits!"
Mouse essence hehehehe
"Let the adults laugh!"
Gu Shiyi led the old horse and followed it in, but as soon as he entered, a foul smell immediately surged up to his nose, and Gu Shiyi subconsciously covered his mouth and nose,
It stinks!
She looked at the rat spirit in front of her without realizing it, and knew that these rat people were born to eat nest lira, and they were used to this smell for a long time, and of course they didn't notice it!
It's just that it's all here, and Gu Shiyi can't retreat, so after thinking about it, he used his mana and temporarily closed his sense of smell, and then walked in.
As soon as she walked in, she looked around and sighed,
"It's quite neat!"
In front of Gu Shiyi's eyes is a very spacious passage, one and a half people high, you can barely drive a carriage on the left and right, on the cave walls on both sides of the passage, I don't know what this mouse essence is polished, it is smooth and abnormal, and every other section is also inlaid with a night pearl, illuminating the passage in a ghostly light, although it is not real from a distance, but it is enough for walking.
The rat spirit smiled,
"The small one is the rat clan, and it was originally able to recognize things in the dark, but many years ago, when the small one was digging a hole in the mountain, he accidentally opened an ancient tomb of the human race, and the small one looked at the road in the tomb like this, which looked very magnificent, and the small one made the small family the same as that, and it was a small honor to be praised by adults!"
Gu Shiyi grinned when he heard this, lowered his head and glanced at Li Yan'er, who quietly poked her head out of her neckline, and said secretly in her heart,
"It seems that this brother's home is decorated in the style of an ancient tomb!"
This kind of heavy taste is really not something that the Terrans can think of!
The nest of the rat spirit is located in the middle of the mountain, the shape is like an oval giant cover, the top dome, the lower head of the ground is flat, and there are relief green bricks, which is naturally moved from the ancient tomb, the root of the giant cover has countless holes in all directions, representing countless passages can lead to all parts of this mountain range, in which the passages are connected to form a huge labyrinth, there is no rat essence to guide the way, not to mention ordinary people, it is a monk to come in, unless the mountain wall is forcibly broken, otherwise it is impossible to get out of it just by recognizing the road.
Gu Shiyi entered this place and it was really an eye-opener, this room was looking left and right, up and down, with an amazed face, the mouse saw her expression becoming more and more proud, and pointed to the empty field in the middle and said to Gu Shiyi Wen Zou Zou,
"Adults come to the Humble House, it is really full of splendor, please sit inside!"
Gu Shiyi looked at it, and couldn't help grinning again, only to see that in the empty field as big as two tennis courts, a circle was placed with stone horses, stone ox stone figurines and other objects, and in the middle of the circle was actually a huge stone coffin, and some stone furniture was scattered around the coffin, there were tables, chairs, and even beds, looking at the blue bricks on the ground, the carved immortal pictures around the coffin, and the sword-holding stone figurines around the coffin, etc., Gu Shiyi couldn't bear it,
"Tsk...... Your aesthetic ...... It's so unique! ”
Sleeping in such a place, the timid, being stared at by these stone figurines with eyes and no pupils, I am afraid that I will go before I lie down!
The mouse essence only thought that Gu Shiyi was praising her, her little face was flushed, and her excited eyes lit up,
"Sure enough, adults have vision, there have been a few guests in the small house, and none of them said yes, only the adults can see the wonderful layout of the small one!"
"Haha......"
Gu Shiyi snorted,
That's because I was bold and didn't tell the truth!
She walked over, tied the horse to the horns of a stone sheep, carried the broken clay pot over, and looked curiously at the coffin in the middle.
"Hmm...... The crane engraved on it leads the way, and the scene of the immortal ascending, it seems that the original owner of this coffin is a monk? ”
Gu Shiyi asked, and the rat essence immediately admired it,
"My lord is really powerful, this coffin is indeed an ancient monk, the small one was a mouse spirit in the mountains four hundred years ago, once he made a hole in the mountain, and inadvertently entered the tomb of this adult, and he got into this coffin with curiosity......
Anyway, it pointed to a hole in the coffin that was obviously bitten out by a mouse.
"The little one went in and saw that the ancient monk in the coffin had been feathered, and his body had already turned into a piece of dust, but he left a fiery red elixir, and the little one ate the elixir with a greedy mouth, so it turned into a human form in eight hundred years......"
It is very difficult for the spirit to transform into a human form, and some people who have practiced in the mountains for thousands of years cannot transform into a human form without a chance, and it is indeed very lucky that a mouse spirit can transform into a form in 800 years!
"Hmm!"
Gu Shiyi nodded,
"This is your chance!"
After that, I looked at it here, I really couldn't stand the style of this tomb school, and the more I looked at it, the more terrible it became.
"It's not early, I've seen your home, why don't you take us out now?"
The rat nodded,
"Okay, my lord, please come with me!"
So he led Gu Shiyi to drill into one of the dense holes, Gu Shiyi followed him all the way left and right, and estimated that he walked for about half a day before he came out of a hole, the hole was in the woods near the riverbank, Gu Shiyi only unlocked the ban on his nose when he arrived in the forest, but he was almost choked by the foul smell of his mouth.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
She coughed for a long time holding her chest, and when she looked up, she saw that the rat spirit was breaking away a pile of fallen leaves in the forest.
"What do you think of this car?"
Mouse Zijing pointed to a carriage under the fallen leaves, Gu Shiyi walked over and looked up and down, and couldn't help but look surprised,
"It's sandalwood!"
The entire carriage is made of sandalwood, which is naturally a trivial matter in the Xiuzhen sect, but if it is placed in the world, it is not a rich and noble family, but it does not have this strength, Gu Shiyi also leaned over and smelled it, there was a faint fragrance on the wood, and she was more and more sure that the identity of the owner of this carriage was extraordinary.
"This fragrance is taken from the oil of a big fish in the sea, smeared on the wood, can be fireproof, moisture-proof and insect-proof, but also exude a faint fragrance, not to mention that this carriage is valuable, that is, this oil will be sold for a hundred taels of silver a catty outside, such a large carriage is all smeared, how can it cost three or five catties?"
Seeing that Gu Shiyi was very satisfied, the rat also said proudly,
"Adult, the small one is right, this is the small one that doesn't need a carriage in the mountains, if not, it is equipped with a few horses and horses, and it is also very magnificent to sit on it......"
Gu Shiyi smiled and complained bitterly,
"I'm still an ordinary carriage, it's a big deal, it's just a big deal, such a carriage, I'm driving it outside, isn't that a proper conspicuous bag?"
The family to which such a carriage belongs must be powerful, maybe it is looking for those mountain bandits who kill people and seize money, and drive it out by yourself to be recognized, so don't carry a cauldron?
However, such a good carriage let it rot among the mountains and wilderness, Gu Shiyi was really reluctant, and the rat spirit opened the back door, let her go in to take a look, only to see that the layout inside was still very well preserved, there was a thick brocade mat in it, and there was a teapot stove made of magnets and the like, and there were two soft quilts under the stool, and then the stool was stretched out, it was a simple bed, Gu Shiyi saw it, and the light futon was actually stuffed with a kind of snow beast hair, Light, warm and easy to clean and carry, this car walks in the wilderness, close the door, cover the small quilt, and its comfort level is comparable to Yan'er's car in their world, it is really the dream car of every traveler who goes out!
Gu Shiyi's eyes lit up, and he didn't care if it was conspicuous, and said secretly in his heart,
"It's a big deal, I replaced the luxurious cloth curtain outside, and covered it with an old cloth, anyway, I use it myself, as long as I am comfortable!"
Gu Shiyi happily accepted the car, and the mouse spirit was very happy to see that she was satisfied, watching Gu Shiyi put the horse on it, pulled the car around the woods twice, and found that the wheels were running as usual, Gu Shiyi was going to say goodbye to the mouse essence, and when she parted, she thought about it and said to the mouse essence,
"If you want to comprehend the Great Dao, seduce the Terran Race, and suck the Terran essence, that is the way down, and it can't last long!"
The rat essence is also clever, listening to Gu Shiyi's words, knowing that she is nodding herself, she is overjoyed, and salutes her,
"Please teach me!"
Gu Shiyidao,
"I look at what you say and do, but have you learned some etiquette in the Terrans?"
rat jingdao,
"The little one found some books in the ancient tomb, and after he was able to transform into shapes, he took them outside and consulted the teacher in the village, and learned a few words...... Again...... Singing in the village again, I followed and peeked at a lot of ......"
No wonder, holding an account book and saying that it is four books and five classics, and it is a step and three shakes!
Gu Shiyi nodded,
"There are not many mountain spirits and wild monsters who are willing to read, but you are an alien......
After thinking about it,
"You admire the culture of the human race, and I will point you to a place ......"
The rat is busy saluting,
"Thank you for your advice......"
Gu Shiyidao,
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me first, I'm just showing you a path, I don't know if I can make it......"
