Chapter 406 Rat Trouble
Chapter 406 Rat Trouble
Dongfang He was silent for a long time after hearing Chang Ningchen's nightmare. This matter was indeed difficult to resolve. He couldn't help but ask the question in his heart: "Did Liaochen..."
Chang Ningchen nodded helplessly. The original owner had eaten it in order to survive, so the more he thought about it, the more regretful he became. In the end, he couldn't figure it out and wanted to commit suicide.
Dongfang He sighed after knowing the reason. If he didn't eat it, he would starve to death, and if he ate it, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Even if you don't want to eat, your survival instinct will force you to eat in order to stay alive.
Chang Ningchen closed his eyes and began to recite the "Ksitigarbha Sutra". Liaochen spent many nights reciting this Buddhist sutra. He hoped that his mother could ascend to heaven soon and that this sutra could resolve his sins.
Not long after he finished chanting the sutra, when Chang Ningchen opened his eyes again, he suddenly found that there were many more mice around him. These mice were very different from ordinary mice. Not only were they big in size, but their eyes were also red. They stared straight at Chang Ningchen.
The white dog has now smelled the evil aura from the rats. These guys are not ordinary rats, they are all rat demons!
Chang Ningchen didn't say much and directly used scriptures to clean up these guys.
Dongfang He was originally worried that Chang Ningchen would say he was cruel when he saw him cleaning up the rat demon. Now it seems that Chang Ningchen is not Tang Monk. He will never hesitate when he can take action. He feels very safe!
Chang Ningchen looked at the white dog walking behind him. He couldn't help but frown and said to it: "Ah, you are a bit of a coward in this world!"
Dongfang He was a little speechless when he heard Chang Ningchen say this, but this was what his wife said, and as long as it was said by his wife, it was right! So he pretended to be a coward and wagged his tail at Chang Ningchen to please him.
I...you...Chang Ningchen really wanted to say something to him, but Dongfang He is no longer a man, so he shouldn't expect such high standards from him. So he hesitated for a long time and didn't say anything.
The scene Chang Ningchen saw before he left was truly shocking. The small village was filled with rats. The villagers, protecting their children, watched in horror as the rats gnawed at their chickens and ducks. The rats were not afraid of people at all, but rather very arrogant.
Many villagers choose to put food in baskets hung on iron hooks on the beams, where mice cannot climb up. There are no cats or even dogs in this village, which looks very strange.
At this moment, a child who couldn't bear to see the mice eating his food picked up a broom to drive away the mice. His action was not fierce, he just pushed the mice with the broom.
But the mice on the ground were annoyed by the child's behavior, and they jumped up and surrounded the child!
Hearing the child's scream, Chang Ningchen knocked the ground with his Zen stick. In an instant, a golden light spread out from under his Zen stick like water waves, and the mice touched by the light instantly turned into ashes.
When the other mice saw how powerful Chang Ningchen was, they ran away immediately. The child's father hurried over and saw the mouse bite marks on his child's body. He first thanked Chang Ningchen for his help, and then motioned Chang Ningchen to follow him into the house to talk.
The kingdom was originally rich and powerful. Although the village was not particularly wealthy, it had sufficient rice granaries and people left their doors unlocked at night. However, all this changed after the king developed a headache.
The king consulted many doctors to cure his headache but none of them worked. Then an immortal named Su came and he cured the king’s headache instantly. He could also use his magic to call the wind and rain.
Seeing Su Daxian's ability, the king immediately made him the national teacher. However, Su Daxian, who was the national teacher, said to the king: "Your Majesty's headache is because you have offended the rat fairy. Only by respecting the rat can the rat fairy calm down and you will no longer have headaches!"
The king was terrified when hearing about his headaches, so he issued an imperial decree that rats should be honored as auspicious animals and that no one in the country should harm them. He also got rid of cats, dogs, snakes, and other animals that were harmful to rats.
Within two years, the kingdom was overrun with rats. The people's food, clothes, and houses were eaten by rats, but because rats were auspicious animals, no one could kill them. Everyone could only be angry but not speak out.
Hearing the villagers say this, Chang Ningchen felt that there was something fishy about this Imperial Master Su Daxian! It was very likely that he was a rat spirit!
Seeing that the common people were poorly clothed and hungry, while the mice were bloated and full of food, Chang Ningchen decided to go to the palace to expose the true identity of Su Daxian to the king!
The white dog bit the corner of Chang Ningchen's clothes and didn't want him to go. The culprit of this incident must be that Su Daxian, and Chang Ningchen was alone. These rats all over the ground were probably Su Daxian's spies. I'm afraid that Chang Ningchen might never come back!
But before Chang Ningchen could say anything, the door of the house was already full of soldiers. The villagers knew about Chang Ningchen's rat extermination and were very scared, so they immediately informed the government. These soldiers came to arrest Chang Ningchen after receiving the villagers' notification.
Seeing this situation, Bai Gou stood in front of Chang Ningchen. Chang Ningchen had obviously come to help them, but these villagers turned against him and notified the government to arrest Chang Ningchen!
"You are the monk who hurt the auspicious beast, right?!"
The official looked at Chang Ningchen fiercely. Seeing the white dog baring its teeth in front of him, the man wanted to beat it fiercely. It seemed that there would be meat to eat in the evening!
Chang Ningchen noticed the soldier's greedy smile as he looked at the white dog. He quickly said, "Amitabha! I'm willing to go with you. This dog hasn't hurt any mice. Please let it go!"
But before Chang Ningchen could finish his words, the leading official took a heavy iron chain and hit the white dog on the head several times, as if he wanted to kill it. Fortunately, the white dog was smart and saw that the situation was not good and quickly found a chance to run away!
"What are you doing?!" Chang Ningchen wanted to protect the white dog but was held down by several soldiers!
Seeing the white dog run away, the official angrily grabbed Chang Ningchen with an iron chain and said, "Dogs just love to meddle in other people's business! You monk can't even protect yourself! Stop talking nonsense and come with us!"
Chang Ningchen clenched his fists so hard when he saw this scene. The official's behavior almost made him explode with anger, but he couldn't kill and was controlled by the soldiers, so he could only follow the official. If his original body didn't allow him to kill, he would have wanted to kill people right now!
If the opponent is a demon, Chang Ningchen will definitely beat him so hard that even his mother can't recognize him! But if the opponent is a human, that would be bad! The original body will subconsciously stop Chang Ningchen from taking action.
Moreover, if he injured these soldiers now, he would probably become a wanted criminal before he even saw the king, and it would be even more difficult for him to see the king. For the sake of the people of this country, he could only endure it for the time being.
Fortunately, after Dongfang He ran away, his soul left his body and followed Chang Ningchen, and only Chang Ningchen could see him.
Dongfang He said to Chang Ningchen: "Achen, don't worry, it's more convenient for me in this state. The white dog will definitely not be able to enter this country. I will take off my soul and follow you."
