Tens of thousands of rats rushed together, and the scene was very terrifying, and the squeaking sound carried by the rats was disgusting, and the squeaks were piercing and terrifying.
Because of their large numbers, they are not afraid of people, and follow the smell to the foot of the northwest mountain where the grain and grass are located, and immediately begin to devour and devour them on a large scale.
Because they received the order in advance, the soldiers did not come forward to smash it, in fact, even if they did not receive the order, they did not dare to step forward to stop it, so many rats can gnaw the people who are close to them into a pair of bones in an instant.
In order to avoid a long night of dreams, Mo Wen immediately made a move, took out the talisman box and drew a qi mantra and pasted it on a rock at the foot of the northeast mountain, turned to the south, and then went down from the southeast corner, and then went down to the west from the southwest, and finally landed on the northwest mountainside, and under the fourth and fifth qi spells, the last two charms were half a step apart, the reason for this arrangement was because the number of rats in this group was too much, if they were all burned to death, I was afraid that it would hurt the heavens and the peace, so I left this half-step life door and those who should not die.
Because there is a living door, the breath in the formation is not completely isolated from the outside world, and the rats are not able to detect, Mo Wen dodged into the formation, and used the yellow rune paper to draw fire talismans to ignite the rats that have been piled up, the fur on the rats is very easy to catch fire, and it spreads quickly, and a fire talisman makes the area three miles square become a sea of fire.
Jumping up with the flames and the terrible screams of the rats in pain, thousands of rats screaming together like thousands of ghosts crying together, even if Mo Wen had been mentally prepared in advance but was still startled out of a spirit, among all the killings, the fire is the most cruel and the most hurtful, looking at the rats screaming and escaping in the sea of fire, Mo Wen's brows are tightly locked, and thousands of lives are killed between his hands, and no one can face the tragedy caused by his own hands and be indifferent.
After the fire started, the rats began to flee in panic, looking for an escape path from the fire, but they were trapped by the Qi Concentration Charm all around, they could not come out of the conflict, and it was rare to go again when they reached the invisible edge, so they had no choice but to flee to other places, but they could not come out of other places, and after several attempts to no avail, they were burned to death in the array.
After a while, the fire burned to the firewood and grass under the grain pile, and the flames became stronger, and after the fire started, the rats burrowing in the firewood and grass lost their last hiding place, and rushed out of the fire with screams, rushing indiscriminately, trying to escape.
After the fire was ignited, Mo Wen returned to the eastern camp, frowning and looking at the fire, due to the formation barrier, so the fire burned in a square shape, only in the northwest corner there is a small gap, you can see a fireball of different sizes gushing out from the gap, disappearing in the northern mountains and forests, these lucky escaped mice are also burned, and those who can escape from death are afraid that they will not even be able to get a percent.
The smell of burning fur is scorching, and when it is burned to the flesh, it is another smell, which is both fragrant and fragrant, and there is a temptation of meat in the filth.
The firelight reflected the sky and illuminated the entire camp, the soldiers left the tent one after another to look at the fire and killing, this scene was both grand and fierce, everyone in amazement and had a deep fear of Mo Wen, no one dared to stand within his three feet, only Pu Xiong stood behind Mo Wen, this was a bloodless killing, but it made him, a man who had seen a lot of blood on the battlefield, tremble in his legs.
The fire lasted for nearly half an hour before it was gradually extinguished, and countless rat corpses were stacked in piles, wafting a pungent smell, Mo Wen took back the charm one by one and shook his hand to incinerate it, turned back to the camp, and walked towards the big tent, where the soldiers hurriedly gave way.
Back in the camp, Mo Wen leaned over and let out a long sigh, killing was not a pleasant thing, at least not for him.
After sighing, Mo Wen closed his eyes and pondered, contemplation is also known as meditation in Taoism, it is a move to reflect on his own words and reason about the Yin and Yang Heavenly Dao, Mo Wen is not thinking about what he did before is too cruel, this does not need to be thought, although the previous act is cruel but there is no fault, on the battlefield, either you die or I die, since the rats are used by the enemy, they are equivalent to the enemy, and there is nothing wrong with killing them.
At this time, he was thinking about the sentence that Qingyangzi said when he returned to Wuliang Mountain, how can there be a coincidence in this world, it seems to be a coincidence, but it is actually providence.
Although Qingyangzi's cultivation is not high, he is old, and he has a deep understanding of the essence of Taoism, according to Qingyangzi, everything he does in the world has a mystery hidden, in this case, he led the troops to expel the Yan State, this seemingly coincidental move should also have the will of heaven, but he never understood what benefit the matter of leading troops north was to his practice Tossing and turning, until the east was bright, Mo Wen fell asleep, but he did not sleep peacefully, and the scorching smell in the distance wafted into the big tent from time to time, making him unwilling to breathe.
At midnight, the army marched eastward, because of the stench here, there was no stove in the morning, and everyone went on the road on an empty stomach.
"If it weren't for the real people who used the immortal method to restrain the rat swarm last night, I am afraid that more than 10,000 of us would have starved to death in this vast mountain."
Pu Xiong spoke behind Mo Wen.
"Don't worry, I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong."
Mo Wen Wenyan smiled, Pu Xiong's words seemed to be compliments, but in fact they were tactfully comforting him.
"At this time, it is not far from Niuzhou, when is the real person preparing to attack the city" Pu Xiong saw that Mo Wen saw through his thoughts, so he smiled and changed the topic.
"Not long after the fall of Niuzhou, the Yan army must not take root in such a short period of time, and when it comes to the Texas capital, it will start a war immediately, and Niuzhou will be at your fingertips."
Mo asked.
"The real person is reasonable, and the last general also thinks so, if the Yan army is well prepared, there is no need to send someone to assassinate the real person, and there is no need to drive the rats to attack my grain and grass."
Pu Hung said.
Mo Wen nodded when he heard this, the other party's assassination and sneak attack showed that they were not prepared and had no confidence to hold Niuzhou.
The army traveled all the way east, and three days later, in the afternoon, it arrived outside the city of Niuzhou, and there were already probes and horses to find out the news, Niuzhou was an empty city, there was no Yan army, and there were no people.
For the ambush of the Dire Yan Army, Mo Wen entered the city first to investigate the situation, the city of Niuzhou is still complete, although it is damaged, it has not been set on fire, and there is no enemy army in the city to ambush, but several wells have been poisoned, and the well water is not drinkable.
There are no dead bodies and blood stains in the city of Niuzhou, but there are many left blankets and burdens, presumably the people in the city have hid in the nearby mountains when they learned that the Yan army was coming, and they were not killed by the Yan army.
The poison of the well in the city is the same as the poison that the chicken essence of the tree in the waterhole is the same kind before, because the well water is not completely stagnant, the toxicity in the well water has become lighter under the slow flow of underground water veins, Mo Wen then found the grass notoginseng, the big leaf seven stars, the seven leaves of the flower and other anti-snake venom herbs from the city medicine shop and put them into the well, remove the residual poison so that the well water can be drunk.
Back outside the city, Mo Wen's soldiers called out to the people hiding in the mountains in unison, and when they heard the shouts, the people came out of the mountains one after another, and returned to the city with their wives and children.
"Lead the team into the city."
Mo Wen gave an explanation to Puxiong, and turned to the northern mountains, the number of people who returned before was not very large, and there should not be so many people in the huge state capital city, and no one has returned in the mountains on the north side, when there is an abnormality.
There is a trampled path into the mountain on the north side of the mountain, looking north along the path to search, soon Mo Wen smelled the bloody breath, followed it and looked for it again, and arrived at a flowing water valley, at a glance, there were countless white bones in the valley, the skin and flesh organs were gone, only the tendons and tendons were connected to the white bones and were not scattered, there were many living utensils and bedding around these white bones, when they were the people who escaped from the city, and the many fine tooth marks on the white bones and the rat droppings scattered everywhere showed that the people hiding here were killed in the mouth of the rats who died in the fire a few days ago.
After a short stay in the valley, Mo Wen turned around and returned, he had not felt inappropriate about burning the rats before, and now it seemed that the rats deserved it, but he did not regret leaving the living gate, because the Taoists never rushed to kill everything.
Seeing such a tragic scene, Mo Wen's heart was more stable in addition to indignation, it turned out that it was right to go north to expel Yan Guo, the shaman was a demon, and what Baili Storm and others did was not right, if the three of them dared to come to stop him from expelling Yan Guo again, they would be severely punished, if they were still obsessed, they would simply abolish their cultivation and let them only recite scriptures and practice medicine.
Back in the city, the army had settled down, and the state capital, Yamen, was naturally arranged as his residence.
Entering the room, Mo Wen wrote a war report, asking Shi Zhen to re-send officials to take over Niuzhou, and carry disaster relief food to help the victims, and write a resignation to be sent to the miscellaneous servants to convey Heijun with a letter bird.
The letter bird has been with the army, but can only send the message to the black county can not receive the news of the black county, the reason is that the letter bird can only bring the letter back to the nest and can not go out to send the letter, only to the state capital to receive the news of the black county, the black county left the letter bird that was originally hatched in Niuzhou, if it is released, it will fly back to Niuzhou.
Sending out the battle report, Mo Wen called Hajik and ordered him to lead the way to the courtyard where the former national teacher had previously lived.
The compound, located not far east of the state capital, was uninhabited at this time, with its doors open and its interior empty.
Entering the room, Mo Wen's handyman removed the wooden bed, and according to Hajik's instructions, he re-excavated the floor tiles, this tunnel was dug by the black rat spirit before, and the backfill did not use soil, but used quicksand, so you can clearly see the size of the hole, after digging out part of the gravel, you can see that there are paw prints on the cave wall, and then look at the bottom of the wooden bed, sure enough, there are small holes left by sharp weapons, which shows that Hajik is not lying.
Because the time is too long, the residual breath in the cave has weakened, in order to be able to smell and perceive more clearly, Mo Wen ordered people to take out more than ten baskets of sand and gravel in the tunnel, and then lean over to carefully identify, because the gravel itself has no smell, so there is obvious rat gas left in the cave, but there is no trace of demon qi remaining, this situation shows that the black rat spirit has indeed taken off the demon energy.
After finding out the situation, Mo Wen ordered people to refill the tunnel and return to the state capital to rest.

The next evening, a carrier pigeon arrived, with a mailbox tied to both legs, and one of the volumes was Shi Zhen's reply, saying that officials would be re-dispatched to take over Niuzhou.
The other volume is the battle report of Sandalwood Zi transferred by Shi Zhen, and the army of the South Road led by Sandalwood was blocked on the bank of the Heishui River:
