"Oh oh oooo oh woe oh oo

He rubbed his eyes, yawned, stretched and sat up, and then his eyes froze, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter...... He swallowed his saliva, and one day the dragon will wear the phoenix, and the rat child will make a hole! This time...... It's developed!!

He saw that on the hillside not far ahead, all kinds of herbs and medicinal materials were piled up, and he roughly swept around, and saw aconite, atractylodes, wild horse chasing, and native ginseng...... There are also several thick humanoid He Shou Wu trees the size of buckets!

They are quietly placed there, in small piles, and as long as they do a few drying processes, or even do nothing, they can be sold directly to medicine farmers or medicine shops.

And these medicinal materials can be sold for at least two hundred taels, you must know that the largest plant of He Shou Wu alone is worth more than ten taels of silver, maybe it can reach fifty taels.

"Haha

Prosperity and decline, or the extreme, "I Ching" is a word!

Of course he was ecstatic, but he was bitter about the 100,000 rats, who had been digging all night and were about to get tired. At this time, they were lying horizontally around the hill of medicinal herbs, and who didn't pay attention to see it, and thought that there were dead rats everywhere.

The rat king Lao Xi didn't sleep all night, just took a nap, and was woken up by Xie Lingyun's laughter, seeing his appearance, Lao Xi was also overjoyed, now they have a great contribution to the rat clan!

Although everyone was tired all night and did not go to search for food, fortunately, there was nearly half a month's "store of grain" stored in the cave, and the rats would not starve for a few days for the king.

"Hmm-" It let out a long howl, and immediately woke up all the rats, and after a few more chirps, and after saying something, it came up with a smile and asked, "Are you satisfied, my lord?"

"Very satisfied, everyone's hard work!" Xie Lingyun arched his hand to the rats around him, and praised and thanked him with a face.

Of course, the rats were jubilant, as if they had won the highest honor in the world.

Finally, the squeaky gradually stopped, and Lao Xi continued to report: "King, after a night of hard work, the mice have patrolled Yecheng Mountain, combined with past experience, they have not found any signs of treasure on the mountain, and there are only a few precious medicinal herbs. But the other herbs can be picked so many times, and most of them have some birds and insects on them, so I want to say that I just dig them! But what to do, obey the king's orders. ”

"Nope. Xie Lingyun waved his hand, he didn't need to think about it, this problem was thought about before attracting the rats, and the rest of the insufficient went to the suburbs outside the city to pick, he said: "Take it in moderation, use it sparingly, the spiritual veins of Yecheng Mountain will be continued, don't forget that this is our home." ”

Lao Xi seemed to suddenly realize and nodded: "That's right, that's right." ”

Xie Lingyun asked again: "By the way, those humanoid He Shou Wu look a little old. ”

"Please rest assured, there are no grass spirits in here. Lao Xi replied knowingly, it is a one-in-a-million thing for animals to become essence, and it is thousands of times more difficult for plants to become essence than animals, and how can there be so many goblins in a Yecheng Mountain.

"That's good, thanks to you. Xie Lingyun looked at the large pile of medicinal herbs in front of him, and couldn't help but praise and praise, if they were allowed to come to the people of the Heavenly Palace, they might not be able to dig up so much in eight days and ten days, how could they not be amazed?

"The mice have a ...... for you. Haw. Lao Xi turned slowly and solemnly, trying to grasp the two violent teeth to look solemn, and pointed to a pile of grass not far away.

Xie Lingyun's eyes widened, looking curiously and expectantly.

Knock knock, knock knock –

The festive and noisy wedding music suddenly sounded, and I saw a group of mice walking straight out of the grass with both feet, they were all wearing a set of well-fitting red clothes, playing musical instruments, some beating gongs and drums, some playing pipa, some blowing trumpets, and a few mice holding wooden signs written on it "Xi", "Marrying" in front of the road, many mice in the middle carried a rather delicate big red sedan chair, the autumn wind blew the curtain of the sedan chair, only to see a bride-like mouse sitting in the sedan chair, the phoenix crown and the red hijab.

Lao Xi took out a red scarf like a trick, and led the team with a twist and a swing, with a festive atmosphere.

"Oh king, oh king, this is Yuanyuan—"

Under Xie Lingyun's stunned petrification, the greeting team walked in front of him for a while before stopping, and Lao Xi happily introduced: "Yuanyuan is the most beautiful and intelligent rat girl in our clan, and she is also the tenth generation granddaughter of my Lao Xi, and I will climb you today." ”

Before it finished speaking, the rats around it were all happy and squeaking, and the welcoming band was about to start a new round of blowing and singing, knock -

"Stop, stop! I didn't say I wanted to marry!" Xie Lingyun sweated, they were able to make these small versions of gongs and drums, suona, sedan chairs or something......

The trumpeter suddenly blew out of tune, and the joyful sounds of the rats stopped abruptly.

Lao Xi saw that he was serious, crossed his eyes a few times, and felt that he had thought of the reason, and he immediately smiled: "The king doesn't have to worry, although Yuanyuan seems to be just a fluffy mouse now, but after it becomes a fine and transforms into a human form, it is beautiful, don't look at Lao Xi looks so honest, no, no, the round appearance and figure are on the human side, there is a word, that is, the lively wave is cute, petite and exquisite." As he spoke, he twisted his waist and swung his hips, his fat ass trembled three times, threw a wink, and said shyly: "No worse than a fox spirit." ”

Forgive me for my lack of imagination, Xie Lingyun wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, looked away from it and continued to scratch his head, and said: "I can't stand this surprise, I understand it, I understand it......"

At this time, the mouse bride in the sedan chair took off the flower hijab and leaned on the door of the sedan chair, but there were no teeth, no obesity, snow-white hair, pink nose and paws, and dark and bright eyes, she was indeed a cute mouse, looking at him, squeaking for a while.

"Yuanyuan has already become a spirit, and those who can understand what we speak are still a few days away from learning human language...... Lao Xi translated: "Yuanyuan said, she fell in love with you at first sight and wanted to marry you, but do you dislike her for being a mouse?

"Ugh. Xie Lingyun thought about it, bent over to look at the rat bride, and said truthfully: "Hello round girl, let's not talk about the differences between races, I am still young, and you must be too, I will not consider getting married for the time being." And it's ridiculous, I don't like Lalang, so whatever goblins and fairies come now, I'll say so. ”

Yuan Yuan squeaked a few more times, and Lao Xi translated again: "King, Yuan Yuan said that when she cultivates to the point where she can turn into a human form, you should be old at that time, and you just marry her, and she promises to steal a lot of good things for you." ”

Xie Lingyun naturally felt very helpless about this "family business", but he was very curious about the practice of the goblin, he had only heard of some bits and pieces of knowledge before, and there was nothing better than the goblin himself to introduce it, he asked: "Lao Xi, what is going on with your practice? How did you become a sperm?"

"Don't you know what the king says?" Lao Xi scratched his head, looked at the rats, and sighed before speaking: "Different kings, you nobles, we beasts are born with low spirituality, and we have to go through the three realms of 'enlightenment, refinement, and learning language', and only after completing our cultivation can we reach the mental level of nobles. ”

"The so-called enlightenment, that is, the brain case opens the spiritual light, the spirit is long, no longer an ordinary animal; to become a sperm needs to have adventures, to undergo a congenital spirit to wash the marrow and cut the hair, after completion, the qualification of life will be further to a level; and then it is to learn the human language, to learn the human language, you must first learn the bird language, and to learn the bird language, you have to learn the bird language of the four seas and nine states, not a hundred kinds of ten kinds, until the tongue is flexible, the voice is open, can speak the human voice. Then when the realm is reached, only then can you transform into a human form, and only after becoming a human form can you have the hope of cultivating into an immortal, and the mice are not very clear......"

Xie Lingyun listened attentively, nodded and asked, "Then how many Taoism do you have?"

Lao Xi laughed embarrassedly, and said, "It's not a good thing, it's just that it's smarter and stronger than the other mice." We rats generally only have a lifespan of two or three years, and they are in a hurry in this world, but after the enlightenment, Shou Yuan adds ten years; after becoming a sperm, Shou Yuan is almost like a nobleman, and each animal is different.

Well, about thirty years ago, Lao Xi didn't live here at that time, it was on the side of Qixia Mountain, one night I slipped into a monk's temple, called Qixia Temple, I wanted to go to the hall to find something to eat, but I accidentally got lost, and entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall, ouch-"

Under the attention of Xie Lingyun and the rats, it sighed with emotion, recalled that unforgettable moment, and said: "At that time, I was scared, the hall was empty, black, and terribly scared! Somehow, I suddenly looked up, and I saw the Buddha sitting there, his whole body shining with golden light, smiling at me! My skull seemed to be flashed by the golden light, and I opened my soul like that! Later, I ...... Later, I got a good fortune, ate something, and became a spirit again. ”

"As for human language, Lao Xi learned from a crow spirit here, and it taught me these things. Learning human language is the most difficult, Lao Xi studied for more than ten years to learn, and then sometimes go to the street to listen to books, go to the academy to listen to the truth, it is not a big old man, I am the only mouse in our clan who can speak human language. ”

Xie Lingyun vaguely remembered something, when he was a child, he once went on a hike in the back mountain, he saw a big black crow lying dying on the edge of a big rock, God has the virtue of a good life, so he fed it some water and food, if a few days later, it recovered and disappeared. "Is there still a crow spirit on the mountain?" he asked, "is it still there?"

"It's not clear for mice. Lao Xi twisted his beard and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "The last time I saw it was five or six years ago. ”

It was five or six years ago that I saved the big crow...... Xie Lingyun remembered.

"King, the crow spirit is gone, and I don't have any scriptures and secrets, so I don't know how to cultivate my life and human form, and I'm still confused. "Lao Xi hehehe

It suddenly knelt down, arched its hands, and pleaded sincerely: "Great King, Lao Xi has always wanted to worship under the gate of Chaotian Palace and learn the method of cultivating immortals. "Your lord, are you right?" For the sake of the mouse's sincerity and a little help, you can take me as an apprentice!"

"Squeak-" All the rats around him bent down on the ground, and only the rat bride sat in the sedan chair.

From this point of view, Lao Xi thought he was clever enough to make this time the mouse marry his daughter, most likely because he wanted to become a relative, so he could learn some method of cultivating the truth.

Although it was speechless, this group of rats did have a favor in Chaotian Palace, Xie Lingyun thought about it and said seriously: "Hurry up, you don't need to bluff me with Confucius, I can take you as an apprentice, but I need time to examine your mind, see if it meets the rules of recruiting disciples, and see if you can teach the method of cultivating the truth." ”

There is another reason, and that is that he himself has not even started his true life cultivation.

"Okay, good!" Lao Xi was overjoyed when he heard this, and finally there was hope!

It jumped up excitedly, its beard trembled, its tail was high, its two buck teeth protruded, and it laughed and said: "I have always been loyal and upright for the rat, and I know how to read and learn etiquette, so the people of the rivers and lakes have also given me the nickname 'Rat Shengren', my king, I will definitely be able to pass your investigation! That...... Do you still have to do this marriage now?"

"Of course not. Xie Lingyun was finally made to smile bitterly.

The rat bride seemed a little angry, and she squeaked something again, and then walked out of the sedan chair alone, and ran to the grass. Lao Xi said with a smile: "Yuanyuan said that when she turns into a human form, he has the confidence to make the king like her." Well, yes, because my 10th granddaughter is so beautiful—"

With a trill, the rat once again writhed his ass as if no one was around, and his fat flesh trembled. Xie Lingyun suddenly frowned, and secretly scolded: "Twist it again, you have the ability to twist it again!!, don't say accept it as an apprentice, believe it or not, I'll kick you away......

Lao Xi didn't twist again, it looked at Xie Lingyun's unhappy face, and the uneasiness in his heart surged out again, the king was so angry, it must not be because of his dancing posture, it was...... Thankfully, it was prepared.

"But if you don't give some gifts to the king, the mice and all the rats are uneasy, our clan has been breeding for nearly thirty years, and there are still some treasures, today I have to give one to the king, children, bring the gifts!"

The Rat King shouted, and a large group of rats rushed to the grass, and soon together they brought out a small brown wooden box and carried it back.

Xie Lingyun was naturally very curious, but he didn't look forward to it, what was hidden inside?

The mystery was immediately revealed, Lao Xi stepped forward to open the treasure chest, only to see a simple and old clay-colored ceramic bowl in the box, looking at its appearance is also old, and there seems to be a burst of warm power in the quiet...... His heart suddenly jumped, but he thought that there was a stolen treasure in Qixia Temple that was rumored to be stolen......

"What is this?"

"Your Majesty, this broken bowl was stolen by me in Qixia Temple, and I ate the oil in it to become a refinement, and Yuanyuan is also it, and they are all about to finish eating. ”
