Chapter 16: The Innocent Turtle Spirit

Gu Shiyi paused and continued,

"A hundred miles east from here, there is a place called Wanjuan Academy, where the mountain chief is a famous Confucian in the academic world, the most loving student, he really has no class, he is also a great monk who cultivates Confucianism and Taoism, don't hide your identity when you go, ask him sincerely, explain your determination to learn, I can't say that he will accept you!"

The mouse spirit listened to the puff and knelt down for Gu Shiyi,

"Thank you, sir!"

Kowtowed to Gu Shiyi three times in a row, Gu Shiyi smiled and said to him,

"In this way, I wish Brother Rat success in his studies, and we will have a date later!"

"There will be a date later!"

The two of them just parted, Gu Shiyi drove the carriage all the way along the river bank, walked more than ten miles of rugged mountain roads, and finally turned onto the avenue, at this time Li Yan'er came out of her neckline and asked,

"Eleven, this rat essence is eight hundred years old, I see that if it turns into its original form, it may not have the same strength as you with its sharp teeth, why didn't it come to a sneak attack at the beginning, but turned into a man to confuse you?"

Gu Shiyi said with a smile,

"Our world has its own laws of heaven and earth, like it is a beast into a spirit, it is against the sky, unless it is a Buddha since childhood, otherwise nine out of ten will be burdened with a lot of debts, such as it killed a mountain bandit and a thief in front of it, although those people should be killed, but the debts are borne by it, of course, kill the people who should be killed, the debts on the body are much lighter, and when it is old and decrepit, it will have to be repaid, if you want to cultivate into a big demon, the demon ancestor, then the debts on the body will be repaid ten times, So unless those spirits have entered the demonic path, ordinary spirits don't want to take on the debt easily......"

After a pause, Gu Eleven said,

"And the human race was originally the darling of heaven and earth, born with higher spiritual intelligence than the other races, and can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, cannibalism can kill each other, and other races will have more debts to kill people, so most of them don't want to kill more people, but the flesh and blood essence of the human race is the favorite of the spirit demon clan, and the flesh and blood of ordinary people can last for several years of cultivation, let alone cultivators, but they want to eat but can't eat, so the demon clan of the organic spirit found that the yin and yang essence of the human race is the essence of the flesh and blood of the human race, and then came up with a way, Become a handsome man and a beautiful woman to seduce the human race, intercourse with it, and steal the human essence at the most important time, so that you can get the most quintessential things, and because the human race is willing to hand it over, you don't have to bear the debt of karma and sin......"

Gu Shiyi smiled and said,

"That's why there are so many goblins and monsters who like to seduce the human race, and these beasts have no morality or even the difference between men and women, when they meet a man, they become women, and when they meet women, they become men, anyway, the main thing is a deception!"

Li Yan'er crooked her mouth,

"So...... This rat essence ...... Is it male? ”

Gu Shiyi nodded with a strange expression,

"Hmmm......"

Nine out of ten mortals in the world who travel long distances are men, so this rat spirit is to welcome men, men to men, men to men, both men and women?

Gu Shiyi and her eyebrows were squeezed, with an expression of you knowing, don't say it, but the king on the side was silent, and the two laughed for a long time before they realized the king's strangeness.

"The King?"

Gu Shiyi's fingers tugged at the tip of its tree,

"What's wrong with you?"

The king did not speak, but sighed faintly,

"You human race are really favored by heaven and earth, born with wisdom, and have hands and feet, where you want to go, what you want to do......"

After speaking, he stretched out a thin branch and pointed to the carriage in which he was,

"I'm afraid that this old sandalwood is older than me, or was cut by you to make a car, but fortunately I drove the spiritual wisdom, if it is still chaotic with the past, I can't say that I can't be found by the person who went into the mountains to find the wood, and I will end up like this!"

The king is a little domineering, and he is very arrogant, but it is rare to be sentimental today, so Gu Shiyi is kind enough to persuade him,

"What is good about being a human race, you live for thousands of years, although the human race is born with spiritual intelligence, but even the cultivators will live for thousands of years at most, and they will have to go through countless hardships and hardships, and ordinary people are in a hurry for a hundred years, and they have to be busy for their livelihood every day, hard work, flies and dogs, it seems that you were born born to raise, do not worry about eating and drinking, and have wind, rain, thunder and lightning are much more comfortable than the human race!"

At least you don't have to run around for life, and you don't have crazy love, you won't be sad, you won't be sad, and chaos is not necessarily a good thing!

As soon as she said this, the king thought about it and nodded,

"You're not bad!"

After thinking about it, he immediately became angry again, twisted his body and said,

"It's bad luck to be cut down, like this king, after opening the spiritual wisdom, it is ten thousand years of life, and it can't be said that it will be able to grow into the first divine tree in this world in the future, and it will live with the sky when the time comes!"

Gu Shiyi and Li Yan'er immediately nodded again and again, and they both arched their hands,

"Yes, yes, the king is wise!"

They talked and laughed, drove the carriage along the avenue and went straight to Xuancheng, leaving behind the verdant mountains, but they didn't know that at this time, there were five rays of light searching in the mountains.

And the rat spirit who was admiring his tomb school decoration style in his own huge hall suddenly felt something, raised his head to the sky, sniffed wildly, and squeaked a few times at the dense hole on the mountain wall as soon as he turned his head, and in the hazy night pearl light, there were several mountain mice that were as big as dogs rushed out in response, straightened up like a human, stood up their hind legs, and their two front paws were like a human race, holding them in one place and arching, and the mouse spirit commanded,

"Let the children go out and see who is coming to the mountains!"

"Squeak!"

The rats took the order and left, and it didn't take long for them to come back to their lives.

"Squeak Squeak......"

The mouse spirit frowned and commanded,

"Even if it's a cultivator, it's not something we can mess with, let the children hide it, don't let people catch it!"

"Squeak!"

The rats ran away, and the rat spirit looked overhead again, muttering,

"It's better to hide it if you still feel frightened!"

After that, I looked at the stone coffin beside me, why did you put this coffin in your lair when you were a rat spirit, it was naturally because it was different from the usual aesthetics, and there was a secret talisman engraved on this coffin, which could isolate the divine sense from detection.

The rat spirit relied on it to avoid the tracking of many natural enemies of the same level, and when he twisted his body, it turned into a small gray mouse and got into the hole in the corner of the coffin, leaving only a scholar's Confucian shirt and fell to the ground......

And above the mountain range where it is located, five rays of light converge together, and someone scolded viciously,

"The fifth child blames you, but a few mortals, why should you bother with them, you killed people, attracted Qing Lingwei, so that we don't dare to let go of our hands and feet to look for it here, and now we don't know where people have gone!"

The three Qing Lingwei are all cultivators in the foundation building period, and the leader of them is in the middle stage of foundation building, such a character killing the five of them is like pinching the ants to death, if it weren't for the front in the back of the town, the eldest brother saw the opportunity quickly, they would be caught, not to mention that the task sent by the door master could not be completed, I am afraid that they will also end up with a dead end!

It's gas when you say it!

Someone answered,

"Third brother, it's no wonder to me, a few mortals actually dare to use water-mixed wine to coax the fifth master, if you don't kill them, who will be killed!"

"We came out to do the right thing, let you do this, and bring the people of Qing Lingwei here, now it's good, if you can't do it, the master of the door will be punished when you go back!"

"I ......"

The one who called the fifth child was about to reply, and a low voice next to him shouted,

"Okay, you two don't waste time here, while the people of Qing Lingwei haven't chased after you, sweep this mountain again with your divine sense, if you haven't found anyone yet, let's take a few mountain spirits and wild monsters here and ask!"

This person thought that he was the head of these people, as soon as he spoke, the two of them immediately stopped fighting, and the five rays of light dispersed again, flew in all directions, and converged in one place after an hour, "Big brother, I didn't find ......"

"No ...... found"

"Hmm...... I just found a 10,000-year-old turtle spirit in the valley here......"

There was a faint sound of conversation in the retreat, after an interval of about half an hour, the five retreats were combined into one and swept away quickly, and after about half an hour, three retreats, one before and two after the flying, the consciousness swept down, and saw the old turtle spirit that was thrown on the top of the mountain, and was searched for the soul, and the retreat led by the light flashed down to the rock, showing the figure of a man with a gentle smile, he came over and touched the half-dead old turtle with his toes,

"Someone has searched the soul, it seems that they are chasing in this direction......"

He also found out the mountain spirit here and searched for the soul, and it seems that he is still pursuing the whereabouts of the old Taoist priest and apprentice!

What kind of person is that old Taoist priest who made the Yin Sha Gate come to look for people so far away?

Before his words fell, a white light flashed, and the person disappeared, leaving only the dying old turtle's weak belly to the sky, and his head drooped out of the turtle's shell, and he couldn't live!

"Squeak......

When the light was far away, two huge mountain rats crawled out of the hole under the rocks, and looked at it for a long time, making sure that the human monk would never come back, so he pushed the old turtle to the cave entrance one after another......

Not to mention how the mouse spirit thought of saving the old turtle spirit, it was only that Gu Shiyi, who was unconscious, was already about to arrive in Xuancheng at this time, and there were people coming and going on the road to Xuancheng, the road was crowded, and their carriage slowed down, and on the way, Gu Shiyi bought some homespun cloth woven by the village women in a small village, spent five copper plates, and spent two copper plates to let people rearrange the carriage.

Now that the carriage is from a distance, it looks no different from an ordinary carriage, and when you look closer, you can at most feel that the carriage is made of real materials and is very solid, and no one doubts its origin.

Gu Shiyi drove the car, caught in the flow of people entering the city, one step at a time, Xuancheng is a medium-sized city in the north of the Yue country, this city is located near the big river, there is convenient transportation, and the trade is prosperous, so merchants from all over the country will stop here and stay in the shop, the population flow is very frequent, like she is driving the car, dressed in coarse clothes and coarse cloth, like a small businessman who goes to the city to buy goods, not noticeable at all.

Because there were too many people entering the city, the city gate officials had to inquire one by one, and it was already half an hour after Gu Shiyi's turn.

"Where did it come from?"

The city gate official acted according to the rules, and asked while letting people lift the curtain to check, Gu Shiyi responded,

"...... from Aoyama Town"

"What are you going to do?"

"Let's buy something......"

"What's going on?"

"This ......"

Gu Shiyi's eyes rolled,

"Official, the little one is a wine seller, I heard that the wine of the Xuancheng Wang family is good, and I want to buy some and sell it back......"

The city gate official nodded, looked at the official certificate handed over by Gu Shiyi,

"Let's go inside!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Gu Shiyi smiled and thanked her, and drove the car in, she was not in a hurry to drive the car around the city, and asked all the inns in the city, so it was not easy to find a remote place, and the price was cheap, Rao was like this, and she also asked her fifty copper plates for a night, Gu Shiyi was in pain, and as soon as he entered the house and closed the door, he counted the silver in front of Li Yan'er and the king.

"Look, it's only been a few days, and there's one less ingot of silver, and there's still a long way to go, so I have to save some more later!"

There are carriages on the left and right, so I won't go into the city in the future, and I'll spend the night in the wilderness!

Li Yan'er asked her,

"Don't you say that you can make money by hunting ghosts and subduing demons, I don't think this Xuancheng is too small, why don't you find out here if there are people who need to hunt ghosts and subjugate demons?"

This Xuancheng is a remote town on the eighteenth line in her previous life, and there are two or three commercial streets in the most lively area, and there are residential areas nearby, which are much larger than the first two towns, and the population density is already the most she has seen in this world.

Gu Shiyi thought about it and shook his head and said,

"It's not good, you can't ...... in a place like this to catch ghosts"

"Why?"

"Although there is a lot of business here, the income is not necessarily rich, and the daily expenses are too high.

A wandering Taoist like her, just like Fang Langzhong, the rich and noble people don't look down on it at all, and they can't believe it, ordinary people can't afford to pay money, and they may not be able to earn a day's expenses after a trip, which is really not cost-effective!

She told Li Yan'er the account, Li Yan'er nodded,

"Eleven is right, then we'll be out of the city tomorrow?"

Gu Shiyi nodded,

"Yes, let's buy some dry food in the city today, and I'll go out of the city tomorrow!"

It is said that Xuancheng has a waterway, and it must be fast and stable if she takes a boat, but she has no silver in her hand, and it is not easy to work by boat, so she still drives the car while walking, and at the same time asks those rich squires in the nearby towns and villages.
