"Oh oh oh oh oh—" The loud rooster crowing sounded everywhere in Jinling City, without dreams all night. Xie Lingyun woke up and found that it was already dawn.

He rubbed his eyes, yawned, sat up with his waist stretched, and then his eyes were fixed, his eyes getting brighter and brighter... He swallowed his saliva, and he would have to be able to penetrate the phoenix and the mouse boy could dig holes! This time... it is developed!!

I saw various kinds of grass and medicinal herbs piled up like mountains on the hillside not far ahead. He swept around roughly and saw aconite, Atractylodes, Wild Horse Chasing, Native Ginseng... and several thick, bucket-sized Polygonum multiflorum!

They are placed there quietly, piled up in small piles. With a few drying processes and even nothing is needed, they can be sold directly to pesticides or pharmacies.

These medicinal materials can be sold for at least 200 taels. You should know that the largest Polygonum multiflorum alone is worth more than ten taels of silver, and maybe fifty taels can be achieved.

"Hahahaha!" His heart was beating faster and faster. Finally, he couldn't help laughing wildly. While laughing, he walked up to circle the hill of medicinal materials, smelled and touched the east and west. These real smells and feels told him that the Chaotian Palace was really running!

The prosperity is at its peak and decline, and the prosperity comes to prosperity. The "Book of Changes" reveals the secrets of heaven!

The mountain gate finally saw a dawn of overcoming difficulties. Of course, he was ecstatic, but he had suffered the 100,000 rats. They dug all over the mountain all night and were almost exhausted. At this time, they were lying around the hill of medicinal herbs. Who wouldn't notice it and thought that there were dead rats everywhere.

The Rat King Lao Xi did not sleep all night. He just took a nap and was woken up by Xie Lingyun's laughter. Seeing his appearance, Lao Xi was also secretly happy. Now their rat tribe has made great contributions!

Although everyone worked hard all night and did not search for food, fortunately there was "storage" stored in the cave for nearly half a month, and they did a day for the king, so the clan rats would not go hungry.

"Shi—" It roared a long time, woke up all the rats of tribe. After saying something, it came over with a smile and asked, "Master, are you satisfied?"

"I am very satisfied, thank you all for your hard work!" Xie Lingyun bowed to the rats around him, with a look of praise and thanks.

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

After finally whispering, Lao Xi continued to report: "King, after a night of hard work, the mice patrolled all over Yecheng Mountain. Based on past experience, they found no signs of treasure on the mountain. The only precious medicinal herbs are the Polygonum multiflorum. But other medicinal herbs can be picked so many times. Most of them have birds and insects. I told me to dig them out! But what to do? Follow the king's instructions."

"No." Xie Lingyun waved his hand, without considering it. This question was considered before attracting the rat. The rest of the shortcomings went to the countryside outside the city to pick it. He said: "Only by taking it in moderation and using it in moderation, the spiritual veins of Yecheng Mountain will be continued. Don't forget that this is our home."

Lao Xi seemed to have a sudden enlightenment and nodded: "That's right, right."

Xie Lingyun asked again: "By the way, those human-shaped Polygonum multiflorum look a little old."

"Please rest assured that there are no vegetation monsters here." Lao Xi replied understandingly, it is impossible for animals to become spirits; it is thousands of times more difficult for plants to become spirits than animals. How can there be so many fairies in Yecheng Mountain?

"That's great, thanks to you." Xie Lingyun looked at the pile of medicinal herbs in front of him and couldn't help but praise them again and again. If they were asked to come to the people in the Heavenly Palace, they would not be able to dig so much for eight or ten days. How could they not praise them? Suddenly, he noticed that the Rat King Lao Xi wanted to speak but stopped and sneakily looked, and he immediately smiled and asked, "Is there any surprise?"

"The king is wise! The mice have prepared for you... Jiji." Lao Xi turned around slowly and tried his best to suck his two teeth to look solemn. The mouse pointed his hand at a pile of grass not far away.

Xie Lingyun opened his eyes wide and looked at him curiously and expectantly.

Dongdongdongdongqiang, Dongdongdongqiang—

The festive and noisy wedding music suddenly sounded, and a group of mice walked straight out of the grass with their feet. They were all wearing a set of fitted red clothes and playing musical instruments. Some beat gongs and drums, some played pipa, some played trumpets, and a few mice held the wooden signs with "Happy" and "Marry" opened the way in front. Many mice in the middle were carrying a very exquisite big red sedan chair. The autumn wind blew the curtains of the sedan chair. There was a bride-like mouse sitting upright in the sedan chair, with a phoenix crown and a red veil covering it.

Lao Xi took out a red square scarf like a magic trick, twisted and slapped the team, bringing a festive atmosphere.

"Master, Master, this person is Yuanyuan-"

Under Xie Lingyun's stunned petrification, the wedding team walked to him ten feet before stopping. Lao Xi introduced happily: "Yuanyuan is the most beautiful and smartest rat girl in our clan, and is also my tenth generation granddaughter of Lao Xi. Today I will be able to win you."

Before it finished speaking, the rats around were all happy and squeaking. The wedding band was about to start a new round of playing and singing, Dongdongdongdongqiang—

"Stop, stop! I didn't say I was going to get married!" Xie Lingyun was sweating. They could actually make these small versions of gongs, drums, suona, sedan chairs, etc....

The trumpets were blown away immediately, and the joy of the mice stopped abruptly.

Seeing that he was serious, Lao Xi turned his eyes a few times, and felt that he had thought of the reason. It immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although Yuanyuan seems to be just a furry mouse now, after it becomes a sperm and turns into a human form, it is so beautiful. Don't look at Lao Xi as he looks so honest, no, no, Yuanyuan's appearance and figure are on the side of humans. There is a word that is lively and cute, petite and delicate." As it said, it twisted its waist and swayed its buttocks, its plump buttocks trembled three times, threw a charming look, and said shyly: "No worse than vixen."

Forgive me of my poor imagination, Xie Lingyun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, removed his eyes and continued to pose, saying, "I can't bear this surprise, I'm grateful..."

At this time, the rat bride in the sedan chair lifted the veil and leaned against the door of the sedan chair, but she had no teeth or obesity, snow-white hair, pink nose and claws, and black and bright eyes. She was indeed a cute mouse. She looked at him and squeaked for a while.

"Yuanyuan has become a spirit. If you can understand what we say, it will take some time before you learn 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 as a mouse? Everyone likes vixen, but when they see the mouse spirit, they shout and kill. Why?"

"Uh." Xie Lingyun thought for a while, bent over and looked at the rat bride, and said truthfully: "Hello, Miss Yuanyuan, let's not talk about the differences between races. I'm still young, so I must be yours. I won't consider getting married for the time being. Moreover, this matter is too ridiculous. I don't like the bride, so no matter what fairy or fairy comes now, I'll say that."

Yuanyuan squeaked a few more times, and Lao Xi translated again: "Master, Yuanyuan said that after she practiced to the point where she could turn into a human form, you should be old at that time. It would be just right for her to marry her. She promised to steal a lot of good things for you."

Xie Lingyun was naturally helpless about this "marriage", but he was very curious about the practice of the fairy. He had only heard of some fragmentary knowledge before, and there was no better thing than the introduction of the fairy himself. He asked: "Lao Xi, what is going on in your practice? How did you become a spirit?"

"Don't you know?" Lao Xi scratched his head, looked around the rats, sighed before saying, "Different kings, you nobles, we beasts are born with low spirituality. We have to go through the three realms of "opening spirits, becoming essences, and learning languages". Only after practicing can we achieve the mental level of nobles."

"The so-called enlightenment means that the mind is to open the spiritual light, and the spirituality is great. It is no longer an ordinary animal. To become a spirit, you need to have an adventure, and to undergo a stream of innate spiritual qi to cleanse the marrow and hair. After completion, the qualifications for life will be further improved; then when you learn human language, you must first learn bird language. When you learn bird language, you must learn bird language all over the world. There are ten species, and there are only ten species. Until your tongue is flexible and your voice is opened, you can speak human voice. Then the realm reaches, and you can turn into a human form. Only when you form human form can you have hope of practicing and becoming an immortal. The mouse is not very clear..."

Xie Lingyun was impressed and nodded and asked, "Then how many Taoist practices do you have?"

Lao Xi laughed dryly embarrassedly and said, "There is no Taoist practice, it's just smarter and stronger than other mice. We mice usually have only two or three years of life span, and in this world, we pass by in a hurry, but after the spirit is opened, the life span will be ten years; after the spirit is formed, the life span is almost the same as the nobles, and each animal is different.

As for me, about thirty years ago, Lao Xi didn't live here yet. He was on the other side of Qixia Mountain. One night I slipped into a monk temple called Qixia Temple. I originally wanted to go to the vegetarian hall to find something to eat, but I accidentally got lost and entered the main hall. Oh——”

Under the attention of Xie Lingyun and the rats, it tsk a few times with emotion, recalling the unforgettable moment, and said, "I was afraid at that time. The hall was empty and black, so scared! Somehow, I suddenly looked up and saw the Buddha sitting there, with golden light shining all over his body, smiling at me! My head seemed to be flashing away by the golden light, and it opened the spirit like that! Later... I got the blessing again, ate something, and became a spirit again."

"As for Renyu, Lao Xi learned from a crow here, and these knowledge were also taught by him. It was the most difficult to learn Renyu. Lao Xi learned it for more than ten years before he learned it. After that, sometimes he went to the street to listen to books and the academy to listen to the principles. He was not a big man. I am the only mouse in our clan who knows how to speak humanly."

Crow Spirit? Xie Lingyun vaguely remembered something. When he was a child, he went out in the back mountain. He saw a big black crow lying dying next to a big rock. The heaven was full of virtue, so he fed it some water and food. After a few days, it recovered and disappeared. Could it be? He asked: "There is a big crow spirit on the mountain? Is it still there?"

"The mouse is not clear." 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 myself... Xie Lingyun remembered it.

"King, the crow spirit is gone, I don't have the secrets of the scriptures, and I don't know how to cultivate my life. I'm still confused now." Lao Xi laughed apologized. Of course, Yuanyuan and the others didn't understand it. Cultivating into human form? That's just a beautiful wish.

It suddenly knelt down, raised its hands, and sincerely asked: "King, Lao Xi has always wanted to worship in Chaotian Palace and learn the method of cultivating immortals. The Master said: "There is no different from the teachings." You are right? In the interest of the mouse being sincere and helping a little, you can accept me as your disciple!"

"Zhizhi—" The rats around all bent down and lay on the ground, only the rat bride sat upright in the sedan chair.

In this way, Lao Xi was smart enough to find out that this time, he would mostly want to become a relative and learn what kind of methods of cultivation can he learn.

Although it was speechless, these mice did have kindness to Chaotian Palace. Xie Lingyun thought about it and said seriously: "Get up quickly, there is no need to scare me with Confucius. I can accept you as a disciple. But it takes time to examine your mind and see if it meets the rules of recruiting disciples, and see if you can teach the method of cultivation."

Another reason is that he himself has not started to practice his life.

"Okay, okay!" Lao Xi was overjoyed when he heard this, and finally had hope!

It jumped up with excitement, its beard trembling, its tail was raised, and its two buck teeth were thrusting. It smiled and said, "I have always been loyal and straightforward for the rat, and I know books and politeness. Therefore, the people in the martial arts world also gave me a nickname "Rat Student". King, I will definitely pass your investigation! Whenever you teach me, you will be able to...will this marriage still be done now?"

"What do you think? Of course I won't do it anymore." Xie Lingyun was finally made of a bitter smile.

The rat bride seemed a little angry, and she said something again, then walked out of the sedan chair alone and ran to the grass. Lao Xi laughed and said, "Yuanyuan said that when she turned into a human form, she would be confident that the king would fall in love with her. Yes, that's right! Because my 10th generation granddaughter of Lao Xi is so beautiful-"

Pulling the tremolo, the rat twisted his butt again as if no one was around, and his fat flesh trembled. Xie Lingyun immediately frowned and cursed secretly: "Twist it again, if you have the ability, try twisting it again!! Don't say you have adopted it as an apprentice, believe it or not, I kick you away..."

Lao Xi did not twist any more. It looked at Xie Lingyun's unhappy face, and the uneasiness in his heart emerged again. The king was so angry, it must not be because of his dancing posture, it was... Fortunately, it was prepared for it.

"But if we don't give some gifts to the king, the mouse and all the rats of the clan are uneasy. Our clan has been reborn for nearly thirty years, and there are still some treasures. Today, we will give one to the king, children, bring the gifts!"

The Rat King shouted, and a large group of mice rushed into the grass, and soon joined forces to bring out a small brown wooden box and carry it back.

Xie Lingyun was naturally very curious and had no expectations. What was hidden inside?

The answer was immediately revealed. Lao Xi stepped forward and opened the treasure chest. He saw a simple and old mud-colored ceramic bowl in the box. It looked like it was getting old. There seemed to be a warm force flowing in the quiet... His heart suddenly jumped, but he thought that there was a stolen treasure in Qixia Temple...

"This is?"
