Volume 1 Chapter 5 Mountain Tour
"The king spares his life! the king spares his lifeβ"
The giant rat threw up his hands and begged for mercy, and it looked like he was about to kowtow.
"Uh......" Xie Lingyun, who was sitting cross-legged, was naturally stunned, it turned out that this guy's fat body was trembling with fright, what was he afraid of, although it was not in the Taoist dogma, he never ate mice......
The rat king cautiously prostrated a few steps forward, came up and hugged his cloth shoes, a pair of rat eyes shed two lines of tears, crying: "The mouse never dared to go to Chaotian Palace to make trouble, sometimes in order to admire the demeanor of the gods, only dare to step into the mountain gate of Xuanguan, in fact, it is also ...... It's just one time of stealing rice, and it's less than a catty, and the crime is not to death!
"Who's your king? Xie Lingyun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and he felt a little uncomfortable listening to it.
The rat king's rat hand was raised, his paws pointed straight at him, and he blinked and said, "You!"
At this time, when it got closer, it clearly saw a handsome character, just like the storyteller on the street said, "I saw that the young man's face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like a star, his nose was like a hanging gall, and he was a tiger with a wolf's waist...... Although he was young, he had a mature temperament. Maybe it was because of admiration, the hair on its whole body flashed shiny, and it said in amazement: "Ouch, the little mouse has bright eyes, I didn't see the king's face clearly just now, wow, it's so handsome!"
It looked back at the countless rats behind it, and cried out, "Children, the king is so handsome!"
"Squeak squeak!" the rats immediately shouted happily, causing the entire black mountain to boil, and in the face of one fact, Xie Lingyun was speechless.
The Rat King also smirked vigorously, the long beards on both sides shook up and down, and after laughing for a while, he begged for mercy again: "King, the mouse has heard of Xiang Youxin, you are so handsome, you must be very kind-hearted, just spare us?"
I've also heard of the timid as a mouse...... Xie Lingyun shrugged his shoulders with a smile and said, "Of course I'm kind and handsome, but I don't seem to have said that I wanted your life? β
"Then why are you shouting and shouting to kill, and you say that the cave is going to collapse, and you say that the stone is going to burst......" The Rat King breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and his right mouse paw gently patted his chest, allowing his spirit to gradually settle down.
Thinking back half an hour ago, it finished telling a few stories to some children in the rat hole, and was about to sleep and rest, when suddenly a terrifying divine soul power was pressed down, that fierce, that murderous, and said this and that, almost scared their courage out, how dare they disobey, it immediately summoned the Qi rats to come.
It didn't know that there was a common blessing left by the masters of Chaotian Palace on Yecheng Mountain, and the people of the mountain gate would be sheltered, and Xie Lingyun's divine soul power would also be bonus;
Xie Lingyun remembered that there was indeed a sentence threatening them in the spell just now, "If you don't go along with me, the mountains and rocks will crack", and he was about to say, "Hey, that's shouting and playing, how can I have that ability?" and felt that he couldn't let them be dummies......
He rolled his eyes, pretended to be a real person, and said lightly: "Well, only if you don't obey me, will the landslide crack, and if you do, there will be no trouble." In fact, you may already know that Chaotian Palace is now in dire need of silver. You are neighbors, and I called you here in the hope that you can help. β
"That's that, we should help, we should help, this is our blessing!" The Rat King nodded hurriedly, and said happily: "The mouse did hear that something big happened in Chaotian Palace before, so I thought that the king wanted to catch us and sell us for money, hehe." β
Seeing that it covered its violent teeth and snickered, Xie Lingyun really had the urge to slap it with one palm, and said angrily: "Everyone shouts and beats the rats crossing the street, and no one buys yours, so you don't have to worry about it; β
"Reasonably, reasonably. The rat king's two buckteeth laughed more and more, and he smiled, "How does the king want us to help?"
Xie Lingyun didn't bother with it anymore, time was tight, so he directly said the request: "I saw that there are a lot of valuable plants and trees in the mountains, and I want to pick some to help make up for them, but I don't know their distribution, and there is a shortage of manpower, so I want you to patrol the mountains, and if you see any herbs, you will dig them for me; β
The Rat King nodded his head suddenly: "Okay, okay, no problem, this is our old business, absolutely no problem!" Children, do you say?" As it chirped a few times, all the rats all over the surrounding mountains squeaked in response, and countless pairs of rat hands immediately dug a few handfuls of dirt in front of them, as if to say: "Our paws have long been hungry and thirsty." β
Seeing such a large formation, Xie Lingyun couldn't help but feel happy and relieved, as if he saw a pile of gold ingots, he arched his hand to the Rat King, and said with a smile: "Then there is labor, how many clansmen have you come? Do you have any names?"
After being flicked by him, the rat king hurriedly hunched his waist and said with a smile: "Hey, the king tortures me, the mouse is called Lao Xi, take a 'always happy' color head meaning......" It chirped proudly a few times, and said: "We have 108,000 rats, and another 50,000 old and weak women and children are guarding the house, please forgive the king." β
160,000 ...... Xie Lingyun was slightly startled, how could there be no feeling of rat infestation on weekdays? He looked at the dark front and said with emotion: "It's nothing, it's enough." β
"What kind of grass does the king want us to dig?" asked the Rat King again.
"All of them, the more precious the better, but don't dig them all, just dig half of them, don't gather them together, and don't destroy other people's nests, remember to take them in moderation." Xie Lingyun gave a few orders, and the Rat King agreed, and he said with a meaningful smile: "Of course, if you find a box of gold treasures hidden somewhere in the mountain, it will be the best, understand?"
The rat king's cross-fighting eyes blinked a few times, and he seemed to come to his senses, and said with a smile: "We understand, we understand, don't worry, king!"
"That's without further ado. Xie Lingyun smiled and raised his hand and made a gesture of please.
Lao Xi took a deep breath, the rat's paw was raised to the sky, the fat meat trembled, and then a chirp pierced the night sky, almost resounding throughout the entire Yecheng Mountain, and it shouted: "Children, the king told us to go to the mountains to collect medicine!"
"Squeak!" Under the leadership of Lao Xi, the rats shouted and dispersed, and the black paint around the hillside turned into black shadows and small black dots, moving rapidly, and quickly spreading to the mountainβ
Patrol the mountains! Collect medicine!
This is really a spectacular scene, Xie Lingyun thought that he would never forget tonight's events for the rest of his life, he didn't expect that there were so many rats on the mountain, and he didn't expect that the power of that spell would be so great!
After a while, the hill became quiet, and the figure of half a mouse could not be seen. After working all day, and spending a lot of energy to cast spells, when the bowstring in his heart was loosened, Xie Lingyun was suddenly attacked by a burst of sleepiness, he muttered "It's hard to work......" and fell to the ground next to him.
When the bright moon hangs in the sky, the quiet Yecheng Mountain seems to have only a fresh breeze, the people of Chaotian Palace are all asleep, and Changsheng is even more snoring loudly, no one can notice that the rats that would come and go around a few times in the past are all gone today.
For they are busy tonight, on all sides of the mountain, at the foot of the mountain, on the mountainside, on the slope, on the top of the mountain...... The rat shadows scurried around, the muffled creaking was endless, the dirt was splashed, and the plants and trees were dug up and removed......
