Chapter 344: Rat Swarm Encirclement and Suppression
Xiao Yu put some books into the ancient jade, and then said, "You're right, we can't take them all away, it's better to leave some. It's not easy for them to get in. We can't eat alone."
After collecting all the Taoist scriptures into ancient jade, Xiao Yu took out some porcelain and placed them in different locations to make the scene more orderly so that no one could see the flaws.
From the time he came in until now, Xiao Yu has packed seventeen wooden boxes with ancient jade. As for what was inside, he didn't have time to look at it now. He took some things on the ground and then called the ghosts to quickly retreat out.
Fortunately, the old Taoists were surrounded by rats, so no one noticed the strange changes in the misty forest. Xiao Yu and others also left quickly. After exiting the cave, the woman in palace clothes used ghost magic to restore the soil again.
As it is, this is considered as covering the original place.
"Let's go, fight two wild beasts, go back and do business, and then we will start to make our home all over the world."
After getting the treasure again, Xiao Yu was in a good mood. He took Xiaobao and the ghost general back, and then he and the ghost corpse continued to run towards the surrounding mountains.
In the camp, all the rats surrounded Lao Tao and the others, but did not attack, as if they were waiting for some order. The sloppy Taoist also had a gloomy look on his face, eagerly waiting for Xiao Yu to come back.
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and the rats began to stir. A yellow mouse slowly walked out of the rats. The rat looked quite old, with a few beards already white, and it looked like an old man in his dying years.
It was just such a mouse. After he walked out, the old man's nerves instantly became tense and his eyes stared straight at the mouse.
"The rat demon, this is at least four hundred years old. The enemy Xiao Yu provoked is a bit strong."
The old Taoist felt bitter in his heart, but he still took a step forward and said, "Fellow Taoist, what do you mean by coming here? You actually mobilized troops and mobilized people like this. Did I offend you in some way?"
After the sloppy Taoist said something, one of his eyes instantly turned golden, and then a faint white light rose up from his body, as if his body was covered by white mist.
The yellow mouse looked at the old man in surprise, then lay down on the ground. With a movement of his body, a ray of yellow light flew out and condensed into an old man in yellow clothes in mid-air.
The old man had his hands behind his back. He was dressed in a yellow robe that was already somewhat rotten. His face was sullen and his beard on his chin was already white. He looked like a fairy and had a noble demeanor.
The sloppy Taoist looked the old man up and down, but the old man stood there neither speaking nor saluting, and was putting on an air of airs.
The old man looked at the sloppy Taoist, and after a while he cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist, you are right. I came here this time to find a young man who killed our Rat King, and I hope the Taoist Master will hand him over to me."
"You said you were going to kill your Rat King, do you have any evidence?" the sloppy Taoist said somewhat displeased.
"Hey, since we dare to come to your door, we naturally have evidence. That young man has the curse of the Rat Emperor on him, otherwise we wouldn't have found you here."
The sloppy Taoist sneered, then pointed at the group of people behind him and said, "Since you have the ability to sense it, then see if the other party is here."
The old man knew that Xiao Yu was under the rat curse, but since Xiao Yu wasn't here, he didn't have to feel guilty.
Hearing this, the old man frowned slightly and raised his head to scan everyone, but after a round of inspection, he really didn't find the breath of the rat curse, which made him a little puzzled.
Seeing the mouse frowning, the sloppy Taoist immediately smiled and said, "What, if I say no, I won't. With your ability, you should know that I didn't lie, right?"
To deal with that little demon after all, he had no basis and no evidence, so he didn't dare to take action casually. The people on his side were not easy to deal with.
"Hey, Taoist Master, why are you doing this? My people won't lie, and I hope you will hand over the young man to avoid unnecessary disaster for yourself."
The old man said in a slightly threatening voice, and then the rats behind him began to squeak at the old man, as if they were very angry.
"What do you mean? Do you still think that our Taoist sect is easy to bully? We, the human and demon tribes, have always kept a close eye on each other. If you lead a group of rats to mobilize troops to cause trouble, are you not afraid that the Taoist sects in the world will attack you?"
The sloppy Taoist also did his part. Not only was he not intimidated by the other party, but he took a step forward and said with a righteous face.
"Amitabha, Taoist Master Wu is right. We don't have the person you're looking for here. You'd better leave and don't start a killing spree, lest any living beings suffer."
Monk Jie Kong also stepped forward and pronounced the Buddha's name. Immediately afterwards, the Buddha's light suddenly appeared on his body, and a circular halo slowly gathered behind his head. His cassock moved automatically without wind, just like the Buddha descending to earth, which made the old man's complexion change.
.
When it comes to Taoism and Buddhism, this old man naturally knows that. Although he has not left the mountain, he also knows that these two families are among the best in the world. Not to mention that they, rats, do not dare to offend, and there are several great earth immortals who do not dare to offend easily.
.
Lao Bai stood behind everyone, his clothes soaked with sweat, fearing that Xiao Yu would suddenly come back at this time.
Mu Liutian and Zhou Jun beside him also had frightened expressions on their faces. Although they could not see the human form of the rat demon, seeing the state of the sloppy Taoist and the great monk, they also knew that this matter was more serious than they thought.
It's going to be troublesome.
They all said what they were afraid of and what they were coming for. When a few people were in a stalemate, Xiao Yu and Gui Zhi each carried prey on their backs and ran out from a distance quickly.
The two of them had just walked a hundred meters away from the camp when something unusual happened. They were already surrounded by rats in front of them, and the sloppy Taoist people were negotiating with each other somewhere.
Xiao Yu's appearance was quickly noticed by the mice behind him. One mouse squeaked, and then the entire group of mice made violent sounds as if their nest had exploded.
The old man standing next to the sloppy Taoist suddenly heard the shouts of the rats. He couldn't help but look back and saw Xiao Yu retreating quickly towards the distance. His body immediately trembled and turned into a ray of yellow light that entered his body.
Immediately afterwards, the entire rat swarm was like a wave, sweeping towards the surrounding area. Of course, their speed was definitely not as fast as Xiao Yu and the two.
The two of them dropped their prey and disappeared into the jungle in a few jumps, while the rats also swarmed over there.
Looking at the retreating mouse, the sloppy Taoist couldn't help but let out a long sigh, then looked at the professor and said, "Go down and get ready to leave. You can't stay here for a long time."
Even the Taoist priests and others knew that the matter was serious, and immediately ordered everyone to prepare food and start returning the same way tomorrow.
Xiao Yu and the ghost corpse were like two apes, jumping on the tree non-stop, but after walking a thousand meters, they rushed towards Lao Dao's camp from another direction again.
He just discovered underground treasures. If he didn't tell them, those things would definitely not be discovered and would be buried in the mountains and forests forever, so he had to pass on the news.
Xiao Yu drew the location of the cave on a piece of yellow paper on a big tree. Then when he approached the camp, he threw the map into Lao Dao's tent. Then he and the ghost corpse quickly entered the forest.
