Qingcheng Mountain is a place of cultivation, comprehensively developed and well-maintained, there will be no creatures like rats at all. Even if there are, they are alienated white rats that feed on grass roots and seeds, and are kept as pets by many girls.
But now, before Wu Zhenzi's eyes, there are thousands of rats covering the entire granary.
Each is the size of an adult's fist, and its size is not too exaggerated, but its body is pitch black, its eyes are blood red, its teeth are sharp, and it carries a great sense of restlessness.
They look like huddled balls of fluff, jumping up and down, looking for anything edible. Hearing the sound of the door, small crimson eyes looked at him strangely, but he ignored them, as if he was only interested in food crops.
Wu Zhenzi was in a trance for a while before he realized that he saw that the mountain of rice bags had been bitten open, the snow-white and slender spiritual rice was scattered all over the ground, and those vegetables, melons and fruits had all disappeared, and they were probably swallowed. .
This is a year's worth of food for the entire temple!
Wu Zhenzi was frightened and angry, seeing that the Lingmi was spoiled and could not be eaten, he simply shook out a talisman.
call!
The talisman turned into a fire dragon and roared away. It flew twice in the warehouse, and the fire suddenly broke out.
"Squeak!"
"Squeak!"
Countless black-haired mice were stained with sparks, screaming and running around in pain, while the ones that were not burned wanted to slip away along the gate.
When Wu Zhenzi saw Wu Yangyang's surge, he felt terrified, and immediately tried again. The ground rumbled and bulged to form an earthen wall, completely blocking it.
"Brother!"
At this moment, Wu Mingzi rushed over with a few people, and he was horrified when he saw this.
"How can there be mice if it's so good?"
"Seeing that this scale has become a plague of rats, don't be careless, order to go on..."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard piercing whistles sounding from various places at the foot of the mountain, "Hoo!"
"not good!"
Wu Mingzi saw a certain direction, his complexion changed drastically, and he used the flying tactic to fly straight down the mountain.
When I got to the place, I saw that more than a dozen disciples were doing their best to exterminate rats. The farmland is full of brilliance, and magic weapons are flying around, but it is still not enough.
This is where the farmland of Qingcheng Mountain is located, and the number of black-haired rats raging in the field is several times that of the granary!
"Abbot, what should we do now?"
"Don't panic, Xiantian disciples take the lead, in a group of ten people, go to various places to exterminate rats, especially places where food is dense."
Wu Mingzi was very decisive, and ordered: "Don't worry about other things, do your best to kill them, and don't leave future troubles!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
Immediately, all Qingcheng Mountains were mobilized, hundreds of people organized in an orderly manner, and the lights were brightly lit, as if it were daytime.
Before they knew it, dawn came, and the battle came to an end.
The mountain gate is in a mess, and there are traces of spells everywhere. In the woods, on the mountain road, on the roof, in the stream... there are even dead rats lying there, some are charred, frozen, or torn apart, exuding a disgusting smell. smell.
The most disgusting thing is that when you dig a burrow at random, you may find a litter of newborn mice, ranging from five or six to as many as a dozen. They are not as pink and tender as normal mice, ugly in shape, and full of life. With short black hair, it is terrifying.
Wu Mingzi and other high-level officials were standing in front of the hall, listening to the disciples report their injuries, the more they listened, the more heartbroken they were.
Eighty percent of the rice stored in Guanzhong was gone, and the remaining 20 percent was not edible, and the seedlings in the fields were completely destroyed. It can be said that there was no harvest this year.
Not only that, but the roots and stems of the trees, flowers and plants on the mountain were also bitten in a mess, and many died.
They don't seem to be aggressive to people except that they don't hurt people.
This is a blessing among misfortunes, Wu Mingzi secretly sighed in his heart, and at the same time was very shocked and angry, he must find out who is behind the scenes!
"Senior Brother! Senior Brother!"
"Come on, come on, come on!"
At this moment, screams suddenly came from somewhere, Wu Mingzi's veins twitched, and he had a hunch that something bad was happening again. Several people rushed to the scene and found a Houtian disciple lying on the ground with a pale face and purple lips.
He probed into his inner breath to check, and found that the opponent's energy was rapidly depleting, his body was full of shadows, and there were signs of poisoning.
poisoned...
Wu Mingzi raised his eyes and saw a rat corpse lying in a ditch not far away. Its body was already swollen, and there was a strange blue color in its black hair.
"The rat is infected with the disease, don't get close!"
His expression changed drastically, and he immediately spread his voice, "All the disciples listened to the order, found the rat corpse and immediately destroyed it completely, don't get close, take the pill first! Take the pill first!"
At the same time, Wu Zhenzi has given his disciples a elixir to help dissolve the toxin as soon as possible.
After about fifteen minutes, the disciple's complexion improved, but he was still weak.
On the other side, everyone was startled when they heard it, and they took out the jade bottles one after another, taking out the detoxification pills and disease-dispelling pills. Even so, dozens of unlucky guys were caught.
The toxin carried by the black rat is very powerful. Although it cannot kill the monk, it will cause energy exhaustion and slow movement, such as serious illness.
In the blink of an eye, the situation worsened, and it directly exceeded Qingchengshan's ability.
Wu Mingzi was very worried, and when he was thinking about whether to ask the Taoist temple for help, there was a sudden commotion down the mountain.
After a while, the disciple rushed forward protecting several people, plopped down on his knees, crying and howling: "Taoist, please save people! The towns below the mountain were all plagued by rats, and all the food was eaten overnight. Farmland and livestock were not spared, there was nothing left!"
"How is the situation now?" Wu Zhenzi hurriedly asked.
"Some are still in the town, and some are leaving, heading towards Dujiangyan!"
"What?"
Wu Mingzi and the others almost fell down. The most feared thing about rats is the spread of the area. The more people they come into contact with, the greater the lethality. What's more, the rat's body is poisonous, even monks can be poisoned, and mortals are afraid that they will die if they touch it.
Without any hesitation, he shouted repeatedly: "Report immediately, ask for support! Ask for support!"
…
Rat infestation is an old enemy of human beings. It is not terrible just that rats are infested, but what is terrible is the infectious virus they carry.
"A rat dies in the east, a rat dies in the west. A dead rat is like a tiger. A rat dies within a few days, but a human dies like a clod..." is probably the most vivid description.
Even before the spirit revived, there were frequent outbreaks of rats in various parts of the country. For example, in Dongting Lake, whenever the summer flood season comes, the flood water pours into the mouse holes, and the voles climb over the dams and enter the farmland, thus forming a rodent infestation.
In the entire Dongting Lake area, there are about 2 billion oriental voles.
Therefore, after Mount Qingcheng reported the situation, both the officials and the Taoist temple felt that the matter was strange, and they took it very seriously. The reason was ignored first, and the important thing was to exterminate rats!
Among the twelve disciples of the upper house of the Taoist Academy, He He has become a god, Han Tang and Yu Lianzhi are recovering from their injuries, so Fei Qin and Lin Siyi lead the army, and all nine immortals come out.
The officials were more experienced and sent a joint team of experts and monks to Bashu in a hurry.
As for Wu Chao and the brick with Xiao Dai, no one has paid attention to it for a long time.
