The mountain road is rugged and the horseback is bumpy, but Jiang Xixi, who eats dry food with white water, feels that now is the best moment in her life.
"Miss Yan, what the hell is that rat monster, oh, that is, the silkworm?"
She wiped her mouth and whispered about the contemplative back of the moon in front of her, because she was in a hurry and only found a horse, so the two of them could only straddle the back of the horse one after the other, and walk leisurely on the mountain road.
"A long, long time ago, there was a water rat in the Nanzhou River who ate the treasure grass, got the fairy energy, hid at the bottom of the river and practiced for a long time, and turned into a rat spirit, the rat spirit was rampant in the Nanzhou River, and the fish, shrimp, crabs and mussels in the river were injured, eaten, and tossed, but even so, it was not satisfied, and always wanted to take a look at the world above.
One day, it sneaked ashore and wandered around Tamsui Town next to the Nanzhou River, and when it was hungry, it stole grains; When his mouth is thirsty, he steals flowers and fruits; When I saw the spring silkworm, I grabbed my mouth and licked it with my claws, and ate it.
A few years later, the Nanzhou River was full of its disciples and grandchildren, and these rats made the village unable to grow fields and raise silkworms, so the townspeople had to change their livelihoods, plant some tea, and pick them to the city to exchange for a few tongtian, and endure a hard life.
But the rat spirit grew bigger and bigger, and saw more and more people, so he began to be not satisfied with just being a mouse, he wanted to become a man, how good a man is, he can live in the sun with dignity, enjoy the prosperity of the world, and taste the love of children.
However, it is not difficult to become a refinement, if you want to transform into a human form, it is absolutely impossible to do it without thousands of years of Taoism.
After all, a rat is a rat, and when it is used to opportunism, it is reluctant to follow the right path of cultivation, and it knows that there is a shortcut that can help it fulfill its wishes. ” "What shortcut?"
"Eat.
The more people he killed, the closer he was to transforming into a human form, but Wang Yuchen seemed to be an exception, he hated him for a long time, and even his soul was unwilling to suck it. ” Jiang Xixi suddenly felt that she was not hungry, she packed the dry food, and her voice became soft and gentle, "Miss Yan, these days, I have been thinking about one thing, I have been in contact with that rat spirit a few times, and found that he still retains the memory of Yu Wuxian, so, the one you got rid of, is it a rat or" "You sympathize with him, don't you?"
Yan Niang interrupted her, "From the very beginning you have developed a special affection for him, which distinguishes him from the others, and this poor sympathy blinds you, so that you never doubt him, even if he happens to be the one with the most doubts. ” Jiang Xixi was scolded by her, and she was speechless for a while, not knowing how to respond.
"Wang Yuchen's death, Yu Wuxian is the most suspicious, the relationship between him and Wang Yuchen is only known to you, and the boat race is made by the Yu family, but you are not suspicious at all, this is really not in line with the quality of a fast catcher, am I right?"
Seeing that Jiang Xixi bowed her head and was silent, she sighed, "That's it, sympathy is the cheapest but also the most turbulent feeling, you are still young, naturally you can't jump out of it, however, you don't have to feel sorry for Yu Wusad, he and the silkworm are not separated from each other, he is the child of the silkworm god, but before he was born, he was occupied by the rat spirit, for so many years, the rat spirit always took advantage of his weakness and devoured his soul little by little, so, when Fan Qing rejected him for the last time, He is no longer himself, but completely transmuted. ” Jiang Xixi stuck out her tongue, "I was careless, if it weren't for the girl's sachet, I'm afraid I wouldn't have my life to go back to Xin'an." ” Yan Niang shrugged, "It is the mount of the Emperor Taishan of Dongyue, who knew that it was also deceived by the rat spirit, and its disciples and disciples took out some of its remaining remnants and put it into another person's body," Speaking of this, she covered her mouth and smiled, "Do you know who the groom and the sedan chair bearer are today?"
” Jiang Xixi shook his head, "I also think it's strange, I have never seen these three people in the town. ” "It's the three members of the Yu family who are wanted by the imperial court."
"What?"
This fright is not small, Jiang Xixi almost fell off the horse, but fortunately, Yan Niang immediately grabbed her, and barely stabilized her body, "So it will be the three of them?"
” "That Yu Fang has a good relationship with the county order here, so he thought about escaping to Shu for refuge, who would have thought, just happened to meet a group of rats who were eager to find a parasite for the silkworms, and died under the rat's teeth, which is also deserved."
Although Yan Niang turned her back to herself, Jiang Xixi still saluted, "Miss Yan, this time in the family incident, you have made great contributions, I heard that the account book was put in front of the door of the Daqing Palace, it should all depend on the girl's help, I am really grateful." ” Yan Niang smiled lightly, "I don't dare to monopolize this credit, Yu Fang's corruption was discovered by Master Cheng, and the reason why the account book was in front of the Daqing Palace was done by another person." ” "Who would have such a skill?"
"Being able to enter and exit the Daqing Hall at will, of course, only the people around the emperor can do it."
"Someone around?"
Jiang Xixi tilted his head and thought for a while, and then suddenly realized, "Could it be Lord Liu?"
” Yan Niang turned her head and looked at her forehead, and said with disgust in her mouth, "Elm head, in vain, Lord Liu is in danger for you, and you have forgotten about others." ” A warm current poured into her heart, and it turned out that when she was in trouble, there were so many people thinking about her, and working together to pull her out of the swamp.
"How are adults and Xun'er?"
I don't know why, Jiang Xixi was a little embarrassed, so he quickly changed the topic.
"Lord Cheng is coming to Shudi to pick you up, and he hasn't set off yet, but it is estimated that we will be able to meet him before we arrive in Xin'an."
From Shu to Xin'an, the mountains are high and the water is long, and the road is far away, but there are wonderful people along the way, and there is a big stone in his heart, so along the way, Jiang Xixi feels that time is like a shuttle.
Unknowingly, the two had been walking for half a month, and they saw that they would be able to reach Xin'an City in a few days, but they did not meet Cheng Muyou along the way.
On this day, the sun was like fire, Yan Niang was wilted by the sun, sitting on the back of the horse lazy and unwilling to move, Jiang Xixi saw a mountain stream in front of him, so he hurriedly got off the horse to get water, just walked to the stream, he heard a sound of horses' hooves not far away, and then, a voice of thought came from the front, "Pity." ” Jiang Xixi didn't even want a water bladder, raised his legs and ran towards the figure sitting on the horse, but as soon as he ran two steps, the water surface churned, and then, a swollen long strip-like thing floated up from the bottom of the water, and after bypassing two rocks, it hit her ankle hard.
