The grandmother listened to the sound of undercurrents under the water and glanced at her great-grandson with a strange expression. At first, the company employees said that he had a weak constitution, but she was dubious. Although it sounded mysterious, there is no shortage of such weird abilities in the blood world.
She has been traveling around the world for many years and has encountered several interesting examples.
Li Wuxiang's father used to run around in the world, cheating and abducting, even going to graves to fight upside down. He once met a very interesting colleague. No matter how big or small the tomb was, as long as he went down, he would definitely attract the zombies. It makes no sense. . But if you don't go to the tomb, everything will be peaceful, just like ordinary people.
The King of Thunder and Lightning said that there is also a girl with a strange physique in Baoze headquarters. Any man she likes will definitely become a scumbag. He is jokingly said to have a physique that attracts scumbag men.
Through this period of experience, she gradually believed that her great-grandson had a work-related physique. The most intuitive external manifestation of this kind of physique is that wherever he is and what he does, there will be trouble and things will get worse.
Li Xianyu turned on the flashlight and shined it on the water. He clearly saw a huge black shadow swimming under the water and quickly disappeared. A few seconds later, an undercurrent surged from the bottom of the boat, and the huge force directly overturned the fishing boat.
"Do it!" Li Xianyu shouted.
Holding the shield-shaped magic weapon that had been prepared with his left hand, he pulled out the short knife from his waist with his right hand and plunged into the water.
Grandma followed closely behind.
The water in the river is cold, and there is a "buzzing" sound in my ears.
Li Xianyu opened his spiritual eyes, looked around in the water, and saw a huge black shadow quickly getting away. He slapped his shoulders twice towards Grandma. Grandma understood, swung her legs and swam over, riding on Li Xianyu's neck like a wooden horse, her long and tight legs tightly clamping his neck.
If Li Xianyu's head was turned back 180 degrees, it would be the famous position: a look of confusion.
Grandma raised her buttocks slightly, and her posture was about to pounce. She kicked his chest hard with her feet, and her petite body rushed out in an instant, creating a bubble under the water.
Li Xianyu flew backwards, his sternum was shattered, and his heart was pierced. Grandma's leg skills were so terrifying that they could really crush someone to death.
He climbed onto the boat in embarrassment, paddled in the direction of the monster and his grandmother, and took the opportunity to recover from his injuries.
After chasing for five minutes, I saw my grandma standing on the field ridge at the foot of the mountain, squatting on the ground, frowning in thought.
Li Xianyu jumped ashore, dragged the boat to the ridge, and then ran to Grandma: "Did you lose me?"
"Yes," grandma nodded. It was not a shame to chase the aquatic creature under the water. "It was injured by me, and it ran ashore and went into the mountain along the field ridge."
Li Xianyu looked down, his pupils narrowed, and the monster's footprints were left on the soft field bank. They were about 20 centimeters long and a palm wide, wide at the front and narrow at the back. He couldn't tell what they were.
But as he expected, it was really not an aquatic alien, at least it was amphibious.
"Did you see it clearly? What is it?" Li Xianyu asked, and immediately noticed the half-meter-long tail at Grandma Grandma's feet, "What is this?"
"Rat!" Grandma squatted on the ground and raised her face: "Oh... It's so disgusting, a rat as big as a buffalo. This shabby town is full of rats. It's really uncomfortable."
"Rat?!" Li Xianyu was shocked.
Looking at the footprints, you can imagine the size of the mouse.
At this moment, the information I had read resurfaced in my mind. The wound on the bottom of the ship was deep, narrow, and very penetrating. If it were a rat, it would make sense. Their teeth are very good at digging holes, and reptiles It is indeed impossible for a mouthpart to cause such a wound. And rats do swim. But is there really such a big rat in the world
Li Xianyu is no longer an illiterate rookie. He has dealt with five major alien families in the Northeast and has seen their humanoid and body photos. Except for snakes, most aliens do not have exaggerated body changes. The current head of the Gray family is a black rat about the same size as a cat.
But the tail at Grandma's feet was thick, long, and round. It was clearly the tail of a mouse. It was easy to identify.
Even if it is magnified hundreds of times, it cannot change the fact that the mouse has a tail.
"Let's catch up and take a look." Li Xianyu and Grandma followed the rat monster's footprints up the mountain. They took out their mobile phones and dialed the number of the head of the Hui family.
"Hey, your phone still works?" Grandma's clear and cute girlish voice.
Li Xianyu's heart sank immediately when he heard her tone: "Don't tell me yours is useless."
Grandma nodded vigorously: "Yeah, yeah, it just fell in the water."
"Didn't I ask you to put your phone in your wallet beforehand?"
"I forgot."
"Shit, you just want to take the opportunity to get a new phone. If I don't pay attention, you will play tricks on me."
"whee."
"Hey, your sister."
When the call was connected, the head of the Hui family asked, "Who is my sister? Who is she?"
Li Xianyu coughed: "It's me, Li Xianyu."
The other party's tone immediately changed, with respect mixed with a hint of flattery, "It's late at night, what do you want?"
Li Xianyu likes to deal with rats because they are good at flattering and there is never a shortage of compliments around them. The fox is cunning, the snake is cold, the mouse is cunning...each has its own characteristics.
"Well, I have something to ask. Is there anyone in your Hui family who is as big as an ox?"
"As big as a cow?" The head of the Gray family pondered for a moment: "Are his eyes red and scarlet forever?"
Li Xianyu looked at his grandma, she nodded slightly, and said, "I don't know if it will last forever, but her eyes are indeed red."
The head of the Hui family suddenly realized: "Oh, that's not from our Hui family."
"Not a mouse?"
"They are the same kind, but not our Hui family." The head of the Hui family said: "There are two types of alien cultivation. One is to practice Qi and practice under the guidance of an expert after opening up spiritual wisdom. This path is the righteous path, but it is not Not all aliens have the foundation and capital like us, and they may not be able to touch the threshold of Qi training throughout their lives, so there is another way to practice: devour the same kind."
"The more people of the same kind devour, the stronger the energy and blood becomes. However, because of year-round killing and predation, the power of the blood is always boiling, so the red pupils will never die. The body size will become larger and larger, and accordingly, the intelligence will not increase. They are just ignorant beasts." The head of the Hui family said: "We generally disdain to associate with people of the same kind. Their IQs are not at the same level, so we definitely cannot be friends."
There is only one correct path to evolution, and that is to evolve towards intelligence.
The earth's evolution over billions of years has given us the answer.
Li Xianyu suddenly realized that he had heard this statement before. Just a month ago, his roommate Xiao Huang was targeted by a kappa from the island country. The kappa had a pair of immortal red pupils and was extremely penetrating. The words of King Thunder and Lightning at that time were different from those of the Hui family. The owner of the house is exactly the same.
The head of the Hui family hesitated and said: "If it has not committed a capital crime, can you sell me a favor... The Demon Alliance has suffered heavy losses recently and needs to recruit more talents. Our Hui family can lead it on the right path."
"You are ugly, but you think you are quite beautiful." Li Xianyu took a sip, "And then let it harm the people of Northeast China?"
"As you said, although our Hui family are omnivores, we basically don't eat humans. Humans are not as delicious as steak... Of course, our favorite thing is melon seeds. Give us a few tons of melon seeds, and we can eat them." I won’t go out for half a month. Besides, now that the Demon Alliance has restored order, harmonious development is the right way."
The new Minister Fengtian is the God of Fire, one of the Ten Gods of Baoze. He has a violent temper and high magic power. The new official takes up his post with three fires, two fires for the Wu family and one fire for the Demon League. Vulcan directly went to fight with the new alliance leader, and the new alliance leader was slightly defeated. The demon alliance has been very restrained and obedient during this period.
"Let's talk about it later." Li Xianyu hung up the phone because they lost the chase.
There is a dilapidated stone step at the foot of the mountain leading to the mountain. The night is dark, the vegetation on both sides is deep, and the dense branches are intertwined like ghost shadows, quietly waiting for passers-by to fall into their traps.
Li Xianyu hesitated for a moment, then took his grandma to climb the mountain. The stone steps were broken and broken, and weeds grew in the cracks between the stones. The mountain is not high, and with their strong feet, they reached the top in ten minutes.
After turning the corner, a dilapidated small temple appeared in front of the pine forest.
This temple is built with blue bricks, which are very old bricks. It should have had a temple door, but it has long since decayed, so the door is open.
The whole temple gives people the impression that it is in disrepair, but it is not shabby. The temple is full of dust, and the fallen leaves are everywhere outside the temple. It looks like it has been abandoned for many years.
"Swiss, swiss, swish..."
In the silent mountains, they stepped on the fallen leaves and climbed the steps to enter the ancient temple. There was a shabby plaque hanging on the door of the temple, which read vaguely in traditional Chinese: Cat Fairy Temple.
I think it used to be a golden gilt character.
Entering the temple, there is a clay statue in the center, which is the image of a human body and a cat's head. The body of the statue is covered with dust and cracks.
It is obviously a temple for people to eat incense, but combined with the desolate and dilapidated environment, it gives people an eerie feeling in the middle of the night.
Li Xianyu's flashlight illuminated the interior with peeling walls. A merit book hung on both sides of the statue. The wooden merit book on the left recorded the names and amounts of the donors for the temple's construction. The deeds of the Cat Fairy are recorded on the right side.
Li Xianyu blew away the dust on it and looked carefully at the traditional Chinese characters, which made him a little tired.
"In 1894, rat spirits were a source of disaster, driving rats to eat food, causing plague and causing suffering to the people..."
Li Xianyu said "ha". The deeds written in the merit book were different from what Old Man Zhang said. They directly said that the rat spirit was the cause of the disaster, not the rat disaster.
At that time, the world was not peaceful, so monsters were everywhere. Cat Town was not called Cat Town before, but was called Huangshui Town. A rat spirit appeared near Huangshui Town. It not only harmed the people, but also drove rats to destroy crops and affect people's harvests. , materials were already scarce and everyone’s life was not rich, but now it’s even more difficult. The most terrible thing was that a plague broke out later and many people died.
Those who are able have gone to the city or moved to other places, while the poor are suffering from hunger and disease, and their lives are hopeless.
"Grandma, could the rat spirit recorded above be the one we met?" Li Xianyu asked.
There is no doubt that there is a rat plague in this town now, but the times are different. Rat plague and plague are not terrible. People have abundant supplies and developed medical care, which is not like before.
"No." Grandma insisted, but did not explain, "Then, what does it say above?"
"It said that a magical cat came to the town later. Wherever the magical cat went, the rats did not dare to come out. It eliminated the rat spirits and the rat swarms, and the plague in the town was cured. From then on, the residents gave birth to animals on the mountain. It built a temple, and it became the mountain god of the mountain. People worshiped it every year, and they would have a good harvest next year and no longer have to worry about rats."
"What happened back then doesn't look like a legend. Now that the rat spirit has emerged, grandma, do you think there really is a magical cat on the mountain?" Li Xianyu said with a smile.
"There really is a magical cat on the mountain. How dare that rat spirit in the river run into this mountain?"
"Haha, that's right." Li Xianyu scratched his head, "It seems like it's indeed a legend? That's right. It's obviously abnormal to have a rat spirit appear twice in one place."
He is very curious about these folklores, but unfortunately most of them are false.
If the legend back then was true, it meant that two rat spirits appeared in Cat Town. This was very abnormal and almost impossible in terms of probability. First of all, this is just an ordinary town, and there are no unusual families like the Northeast Hui family nearby.
The probability of two rat spirits appearing in Cat Town within a few decades is equivalent to finding money twice in the same place. And it must be a barren mountain.
"Why do I have a bad feeling?" Li Xianyu scratched his head.
"Meow meow meow~"
At this time, in the dark night outside the temple, the shrill cry of a night cat could be faintly heard.
It’s the third update today, well, this chapter is from yesterday. I will continue my third update tomorrow and pay back what I owed yesterday.
