Volume 1 Wake up from a dream and know that I am me Chapter 7 Rat Demon
Pingjiang Province is the waterway in the middle of the Yue Kingdom, Pingxian County is in the east of Pingjiang Province, is the confluence point of the Qing River flowing into the Pingjiang River, and has been the land of fish and rice since ancient times.
Because of the convenient transportation, the industry and commerce are developed, and it is said to be a small county, but the degree of prosperity is not less than that of the general prefecture. The official offices here, in addition to the county order yamen, also have the yamen of the closing ambassador and the yamen of the transfer envoy.
Although it is a prosperous place, and the officials have enough oil and water in their hands, they all have to bear the responsibility of transporting food and materials. Among them, grain storage and transshipment is the top priority.
How much grain is in the granary, Xinchen, the court is documented for the record, everyone sits back and relaxes if there is no accident on weekdays, and it is very comfortable to rub the oil card, but this encounter with the rat demon, the food is in deficit, and the board of the court is to really hit the body.
Once the incident happens, not only will the official hat not be protected, but he will even have to ask for the guilt. Today's Zhang Xiang is not a fool!
Chen Muyang arrived at the county seat with the county order, and the county order, the transfer envoy, and the closing ambassador all came to meet him to wash the dust, set up a table of banquets in the small flower hall of the official office, and courteously invited Chen Muyang to take a seat.
"Dao Chief, what did you find when you passed through the official warehouse?" The ambassador of the closing position was a tall and thin middle-aged man with a wisp of goatee on his chin and a literati air on his body.
During the day, when passing by the official warehouse, Chen Muyang deliberately asked the county commander to take him and walked around the official warehouse, which could be regarded as exploring the situation.
Chen Muyang put down his wine glass, groaned for a while and said: "Don't hide it, when I explored during the day, I did sense a demonic aura, but the demonic aura was weak, and it was not an old demon! Under the granary, I also found a tunnel covered by a spell, and the grain should have been stolen by the rat demon through the tunnel!"
The transfer envoy stood up, his round face was full of respect, and he raised his glass to Chen Muyang and said: "Dao Chief, the official warehouse was stolen by the rat monster, and 100,000 loads of grain and new rice are gone, if we can't catch this rat demon, several of us will suffer the misfortune of Miki and the humiliation of the prison officials! The next few officials are all mortals, and their lives will all be entrusted to you, the Taoist Chief!"
The prefectural commander and the ambassador of Pingchang also quickly stood up and toasted respectfully.
"Dao Chief, if you need to catch the rat demon, just ask!" the county magistrate patted his chest.
"As long as you catch the rat demon, it doesn't matter if you live or die!
After staggering, Chen Muyang was taken to the guest house behind the official office by a clever little guy named Xue Ping to rest. The guest house is quite exquisite, with potted green plants and vermilion furniture, which can only be used by Shangguan to live in, but Chen Muyang is now a lifesaver for several people, and he can't wait to offer him like an ancestor.
After Chen Muyang cleaned his face, Xue Ping retreated.
Chen Muyang sneered in his heart, after the five official warehouses stolen by the rat demon, one official warehouse of that size could only store hundreds of loads of grain. Several warehouses together are up to the sky, and they are no more than a thousand loads of grain. Where did the 100,000 quintals come from?
It is clear that these groups of corrupt officials are full of private pockets, reselling official food, and after the incident, they want to put all the black cauldron on the back of the rat demon.
However, Zhang Xiang of Yue Guo is a strict person, and he probably won't pay attention to any strange things, so there must be a master to eradicate this demon in order to get through the trick.
Although Chen Muyang despises the behavior of a few dog officials, he can increase his merit by subduing demons and subduing demons, and he is not a little demon who has just been enlightened, and it will not be a waste to subdue such a monster.
Night fell, but the area around Guancang was brightly lit. Hundreds of soldiers wore iron armor and armed with long knives to prevent the rat demon from attacking again.
Chen Muyang meditated in the guest room until three o'clock, then he got out of bed, the imperial envoy cursed, flew on the purple gold gourd, and flew to the Guancang area.
Sub-rats and rats are all active in sub-rats.
Chen Muyang's figure was hidden in mid-air, and he silently recited the "Taishang Induction Sutra" in his mouth, sensing the demonic energy around him.
After half an hour, Chen Muyang felt a faint mana fluctuation coming from inside a large warehouse in the northwest direction of the official warehouse.
Here it comes!
The rat demon actually has a little shallow prohibition, and the prohibition isolates the movement in the warehouse.
Chen Muyang is not like a scare snake, there are many mortals here, and if you fight, it will inevitably hurt the innocent, so it is better to follow this rat demon and see where it is going.
Chen Muyang pinched a tracing talisman that ten yuan stones could buy a dozen, injected it into the galaxy true qi, and quietly threw it into the pile of grain that was rapidly pouring into the tunnel in the granary.
The rat demon thought that it was foolproof, and kept casting spells to transport the grain into the tunnel, without sensing Chen Muyang's trace charm at all.
In Chen Muyang's induction, the rat demon moved slowly in the tunnel, after all, hundreds of loads of grain were not so easy to transport.
The tunnel winds and turns, bypassing the river, and actually leads to a small mountain village sixty or seventy miles away.
Chen Muyang determined the location and flew over with the purple gourd.
It's a red clay hill, barren and full of weeds. At the foot of the mountain there is a huge village, with hundreds of families, and many poor farmers sleeping in the wilderness.
The exit to the rat demon tunnel is on the other side of the mountainside.
Chen Muyang sensed a surge of demonic energy at the entrance of the tunnel, and the rat demon came out.
The rat demon wasn't shapeshifted, but it was not small, the size of a big dog. The rat demon is gray all over, except for the black and long beard around its mouth. It stood up and screamed.
After a while, a large group of poor people in ragged clothes pushed wheelbarrows and carried worn burlap sacks to the mouth of the cave.
Everyone bowed to the ground reverently, and said in a mess: "Thank you Demon Immortal for saving your life!"
The rat demon didn't speak, just let go of the hole, and suddenly everyone swarmed in, carrying bags of rice and grain out, with excitement and complicated gratitude on their faces.
The transportation lasted for more than an hour, and all the food in the tunnel was emptied. The giant rat man stood and watched the people leave.
Chen Muyang quietly landed behind the giant rat and said, "Do you feel a special sense of accomplishment!"
The giant rat was startled and turned his head to run away, but was held to his throat by a flying sword.
"I have never done anything bad, but I have only done good deeds and accumulated virtues!" the giant rat threw himself on the ground.
"Stealing grain is just a thief's act, what merit is there?" asked Chen Muyang with a smile.
The giant rat knew the horror of the human monks, and his whole body trembled and said, "I stole food all so that those people could live, even if there is no merit, it can't be regarded as a fault!"
"You are not a human being, so you don't care what kind of humane operation you have! The so-called life and death depend on fate, and wealth is in the sky! These people are starving to death today but they have done evil in the past! What is there to save! You are a little demon, and you dare to interfere in the affairs of Hongchen,"
"Most mortals hate rats, and I was almost starved to death when I couldn't find food, but thanks to a kind boy, he gave me half a wheat cake!
"Besides, there is so much grain in the warehouse, piled up! Why can't you give a little to those who are dying of hunger! I know that the taste of hunger is the worst in the world!"
Chen Muyang sighed and said, "Alas! You demon has a human heart!
Chen Muyang just wanted to chat with the rat demon, but didn't want to kill. Seeing the rat demon do something, no matter what the reason, the life of a living person is always real!
This is also merit, great merit!
Fairies still have such merits, so what about people!
"It's over here, the little ones have nowhere to go, the little ones are willing to sacrifice themselves at the feet of the Dao Chief, hoping to get the protection of the Dao Chief!"
Chen Muyang was taken aback: "You kid still kicked his nose in the face, aren't you afraid that I will cut you off with a sword?"
"You won't, you're a good person! I know that if any alien wants to achieve something, he must follow a master of the Tao, and you are a master of the Tao!" said to Chen Muyang sincerely.
Chen Muyang wanted to refuse, but he felt a little emotion in his heart, and said: "Well, in this case, you will be my servant in the future, if I get the Tao, I will naturally not forget your benefits!"
The rat demon was overjoyed, fell to the ground, and saluted: "Little demon thanks the master's grace!"
Chen Muyang nodded and said, "I'll give you a name, and you will be called Rat Da in the future! But the matter here is not over, you still have to cooperate with me to put on a good show!"
