Chapter 14

Li Yan'er breathed a sigh of relief and saw that the grass spirit was a little scared when he saw the fire. He lingered in the same place for a while, then took two steps forward and looked in their direction.

Li Yan'er hid behind the king and looked at her head.

"What is it doing?"

Gu Shiyi hummed,

"This little grass spirit has no spiritual skills. In the past, it hid in the ground to practice. It hides when it sees people and can't easily find it. It is naturally afraid of fire and dares to come up to investigate. It seems that it is probably suffering from this. What kind of higher-level monsters are driving us in the mountains... we just have to wait!"

As he finished eating the remaining steamed buns, he saw the little grass spirit still looking around. He suddenly smiled, pulled a piece of firewood from the fire and threw it with a whoosh.

"Ow..."

The little grass spirit screamed in fright, turned around and hid in the grass and disappeared. Gu Shiyi laughed and ignored it. He took the thick bed he bought from the inn from the carriage and spread it next to the firewood pile. I picked up some dry firewood nearby and threw it into the fire.

"Aha……"

Gu Shiyi stretched and yawned.
"It's getting late, I'm going to bed!"

She sat on the bunk, took off her shoes, and went to the fire to roast them. Li Yaner was better. She was now a clay figurine with no senses and no sense of smell or smell. However, the king suddenly jumped out of the broken earthen pot with a stick on his head. The branch pointed at Gu Shiyi's smoking feet and said,
"Gu Shiyi, your feet smell so bad!"

Gu Shiyi rolled his eyes.
"How can it not stink after a long day's journey?"

After saying that, he broke off his feet and picked them again and again. The king jumped a few steps away in disgust.
"Oh...you...can't you wash up?"

“The water is too cold, I don’t want to wash it!”

The king retreated to the windward position, cursing,

"Lazy woman, no wonder you can't get married even in your thirties. Only that awesome guy dares to marry you!"

Gu Shiyi pretended not to hear anything and lazily warmed his feet. His feet were still moving around. His eyes scanned the surrounding grass and he let out a laugh.

"If you don't come, I'm really going to sleep!"

As he was talking, he heard rustling in the distance again. Li Yan'er was so frightened that she slipped into Gu Shiyi's arms. The king hid behind the stone. Gu Shiyi calmly glanced at the peach wood sword beside him. Then he looked at the grass ahead with a smile, and not long after, a man walked out from the shadow where the firelight could not reach.

Gu Shiyi squinted and looked at this person up and down. He was a man about 25 years old. His appearance could not be called good-looking. His eyes were a bit small and his mouth was slightly protruding, giving people the impression of a deer head and rat eyes. He was wearing Confucian clothing. He was wearing a t-shirt, a Confucian crown on his head, and actually held a book in his hand. The man's walking posture was also a bit strange, with a swaying step like an actor on the stage.

When he reached the place where the fire was, he saluted Gu Shiyi from a distance and said,
"Girl, I missed Sutou on my way late at night, so I asked the girl to go out and ask Xu Xiaosheng to borrow a fire and stay the night..."

Gu Shiyi looked at him with a smile, nodded after a while and said,

"You are born handsome. What I like most is handsome boys. Come here!"

The scholar was overjoyed when he heard this, and gave another salute. He took a few steps forward to the fire, lifted his front robe, and sat down in a weird posture. Gu Shiyi squinted at him,
"Sir, where did you come from?"

The scholar smiled very politely, raised his hand and pretended to salute again.
"Xiao Sheng is Master Li Jiaji. He was going to Huangcun. He lost his way in the mountains. It was already dark when we got here. I was lucky enough to meet the girl while I was anxious. Thank you so much!"

Gu Shiyi nodded with a smile and took out a piece of steamed bun.

"Sir, would you like to use some?"

Seeing this, the scholar stood up and bowed deeply. He took two steps forward and sat down three steps away from Gu Shiyi. He took the dried buns handed over by Gu Shiyi. Gu Shiyi smiled as he watched the scholar awkwardly handle the dried buns. Put it next to the fire to bake, and then the scholar picked up the book put aside and said to Gu Shi,
"Girl, I have been reading the Four Books and Five Classics recently, and I feel that there are endless mysteries in this book. If I win the exam next year, I will definitely be a high official in the future!"

Is this person afraid of some kind of cat disease?
Gu Shiyi looked at him with a strange expression, then looked at the book in his hand, then looked at the scholar, smiled and said,
"Then I will first wish the young master to be named on the gold list!"

This little demon is probably a fool. If a scholar suddenly appears in such a wilderness, carrying nothing but a book, let alone Gu Shiyi, even ordinary people would think that this person is not a serious person. Human right?
The scholar was very happy when he heard this. He put down the book in his hand and turned to look at her. His small mung bean eyes blinked and he said to Gu Shi in a soft voice,
"Girl, Xiaosheng sees that the girl has a beautiful appearance, and she is considered to be a talented man and a pretty girl. Is the girl willing to marry Xiaosheng?"

As he spoke, his pupils gradually changed and even dilated little by little. Within a few breaths, the white eyes were gone and only the dark pupils were left. When Gu Shiyi looked directly into his eyes, his eyes became blurred and his expression became trance-like. , she murmured,
"Marry you as... my wife?"

When the scholar saw that Gu Shiyi had been hit, he was immediately overjoyed and came over with a smile.
"Yes... you go home with me... let's get married and let you be the bride, okay?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull Gu Shiyi. Gu Shiyi did not resist, and let him pull him over blankly. He was held in his arms and just watched the scholar's mouth, trying to press against Gu Shiyi. mouth,
"Snapped!"

Gu Shiyi suddenly raised his hand and slapped him on the ear. The sound was clear and crisp and spread far away in the dark valley.

"what……"

Then there was a scream. The scholar covered his face and jumped three feet high. He took three steps back with a look of disbelief on his face. He almost stepped into the fire. Fortunately, he looked back and stopped in time. Got the car,
"You... you... you didn't... didn't..."

The scholar looked at Gu Shiyi with clear eyes in panic, and Gu Shiyi sneered,
"What don't I have?"

She shook her right palm, which was faintly glowing with white light, lowered her head and blew on it, and said with a look of disgust,

"Hey...yo...the black hair that hit me..."

The scholar saw that a few black hairs were actually falling out of Gu Shiyi's palm, and then realized something was wrong. He reached out and touched it, and found that half of his face had turned into black hairs.
"You...squeak..."

He pointed at Gu Shi and barely had time to say a word, his entire face changed completely. He was originally a young scholar with a deer-headed head and rat-like eyes, but his mouth and nose elongated in the blink of an eye. His face was covered with black hair, and he had mung bean eyes and long, sharp points. mouth, pointed ears, a mouth that screamed,
Gu Shiyi laughed when he saw this,
"It turns out to be a rat spirit!"

The rat spirit seemed a little confused about what happened. He held his face in his hands for a long time before he came back to his senses and shouted in a high voice,

"You... are you a monk?"

Gu Shiyi clapped his hands and said with a smile,
"Don't dare! The little Taoist priest only knows some magic. I don't dare to call myself a cultivator!"

When the rat spirit heard this, his mung bean eyes darted around, and he was weighing the other party's behavior in his heart.
"Look at how she looks. She's all alone with a mahogany sword beside her. She doesn't look very powerful. Why don't you give her a try? The essence of a cultivator is more powerful than that of a mortal!"

It still had to think about it, but it didn't expect that Gu Shiyi made his move first. Gu Shiyi didn't know what kind of footwork he was using. He was so fast that the mouse spirit felt like his eyes were blurred.
"Clap clap clap..."

Gu Shiyi's little slap was aimed at the mouse spirit's face and he opened his bow from left to right. A white light flashed through, making the mouse spirit squeal and spin around in place. It was strange to say that. Every time he turned, his body became smaller. After five or six turns, his body was only half of Gu Shiyi's height.
"squeak……"

Following an angry and shrill scream, Gu Shi's eyes flashed. He saw the scholar's clothes fluttering on the ground, and a huge mouse with black hair jumped out from the clothes. Gu Shiyi saw Like shouting,
"Don't run!" The rat spirit ran towards the nearby grass without looking back. Gu Shiyi chased after a few steps and got behind it. He stepped on the long tail it trailed behind.

"squeak……"

The rat spirit was really angry now. He turned around and opened his mouth wide at Gu Shiyi. The four pointed long teeth protruding from the top and bottom glowed white in the firelight and bit Gu Shiyi's head. Come on, Gu Shiyi tilted his head to avoid its sharp beak, then bowed his body to avoid its claws, and hit it hard with his shoulder and head upwards towards its belly.
"squeak!"

The head of the rat was so strong that it flipped backwards on all fours. Before it could gain a firm footing, Gu Shiyi bent down and grabbed the rat's tail, which was as thick as an arm.

"rise!"

She shouted loudly, her hands flashed, she grabbed the tail of the rat with both hands and swung up the big rat, which weighed a hundred kilograms.
"Huhuhu..."

This little [-] kilograms and hairy thing was swung with an astonishing force. Gu Shiyi was really powerful. He spread his legs slightly, bent his knees down, and used force on his waist to swish the rat sperm into the air. Breathe in the wind and create a wind and fire wheel.

The rat spirit has been practicing Taoism in the mountains for 800 years. Finally, he was able to transform into a human being, so he came down the mountain to seduce humans and defraud the essence. If he met a man, he would transform into a beautiful village woman. If he met a man, he would transform into a beautiful village woman. The girl turned into a scholar, but most of the people walking in the deep mountains and forests were men. This was the first time it turned into a scholar, and it encountered a tough opponent, it turned out to be a cultivator!
Now that Gu Shiyi had pinched the vital part of its tail, its whole body was numb and unable to move. It whirled around when someone picked it up. Even though it was born with rough skin and thick flesh, it felt like stars were shooting out of its eyes and the world was upside down. His stomach kept churning, and soon foam began to form at the corners of his mouth. He screamed in desperation, and Gu Shiyi shouted,

"What are you yelling about?"

Only then did the rat spirit remember to say something,

"Spare your life! Zhizhizhizhi... have mercy!"

Gu Shiyi laughed when he heard this, and then he slammed it to the ground.
"boom……"

With a loud sound, the rat spirit's body hit the ground with such force that a big crater was made immediately. Gu Shiyi pulled its tail, stepped forward and stepped on its belly and asked,

"Are you satisfied?"

"Squeak..."

The rat spirit faced up to the sky and screamed, but he didn't dare to struggle at all.
"Is this enough?"

"I'm convinced... I'm convinced... I'm convinced..."

The rat spirit responded, and Gu Shiyi nodded with satisfaction and moved her feet, but she still didn't let go of the rat tail in her hand. She asked,

"Tell me the truth, how many travelers have you killed in this mountain?"

The rat spirit resisted the urge to vomit and squeaked a few times before responding,

"So that you may know, our place is remote and not many passers-by pass by. However, we have encountered two groups of bandits who hid in the mountains. One was a bandit who was escaping from the government... Sometimes... sometimes there is really no one around, little one. Then he sneaked into the village and caused harm to the villagers..."

It honestly explained what it had done one by one. After hearing this, Gu Shiyi snorted coldly, thought for a while and asked,
"Is there anything to hide?"

"Don't dare to hide it, don't dare to hide it!"

Gu Shiyi snorted twice, looked the rat spirit up and down, and then said,
"Even if you are telling the truth, I will not take your life..."

The mouse spirit was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Thank you sir! Thank you sir!"

"However... the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be spared..."

Gu Shiyi thought for a while and said,

"I am worried about the difficulty of traveling on the mountain road and the delay on the road. Now that you are a local snake, you can open the way for us in front. As long as you send us away from this mountain range, I will let you go!"

The Mouse Spirit nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
"Okay, okay, I am willing to open the way for you!"

"Ok!"

Gu Shiyi nodded with satisfaction, let go of the rat's tail, and went to the stream to wash his hands. When he came back and saw it lying there, he kicked it with his feet.
"Get up, are you still waiting for me to help you?"

The rat spirit immediately turned over and rolled up on the ground, then twisted its body and turned into a naked man on the spot.

"oops……"

Gu Shiyi covered his eyes,
"Get your clothes on!"

Even if a mouse turns into a human, it will not grow up. It looks like it has the eye of a needle!

The Mouse Spirit hurriedly picked up the Confucian scholar's clothes, put them on hastily, and said with a smile,
"Adults...get dressed!"

Gu Shi nodded, pointed to the stone beside him and asked him to sit down, then yawned and said,

"It's getting late, I'm going to bed, you stay here to watch..."

Then he pointed to the earthen pot beside him.

"If you dare to run away, I'll catch you and skin your mouse!"

The rat spirit shook his head repeatedly.
"Don't dare! Don't dare!"

Only then was Gu Shiyi satisfied and went over to sit cross-legged and breathe. After 36 days of luck, he opened his eyes again and saw that the rat spirit was indeed guarding the fire honestly, adding two more fires from time to time.

"Ok!"

Gu Shiyi nodded with satisfaction, and then leaned over. Of course she was not stupid, she really knew how to sleep in front of this rat spirit without worry, but there was the king and Yan'er here, so they didn't need to sleep. Master, you can absorb the essence of the moon while monitoring this rat spirit for yourself.
