An Yi Restaurant was busy all day long, and it gradually became quiet until nightfall.
Although there is no longer a government curfew, the fight between fox monsters and rats last night has already been observed by people.
After the people in the county woke up, they saw no trace of the black-haired rat again. Although the fox demon was effective in driving away the rats, the people were inevitably afraid of encountering the monster on the road again, so they hurried home after dark to avoid running into the monster. Charms, ghosts and gods.
The business of An Yi Restaurant has been somewhat affected, but Fatty Kang doesn't rely on this to make money.
When there was no one around, Xiao Yi'er was asked to light fox lanterns and ghost fires, and the restaurant turned from yang to yin and began to receive guests from the underworld.
It's just that there are not as many guests in the underworld as there are in the upper world. One comes here and there, and most of the time there is no one there.
Fatty Kang and Xiao Yi'er took a rest and talked in the backyard.
Gong Mengbi brought Chen Jiayu to see them and introduced them to Chen Jiayu's origins. Jialu already started to tremble.
Fatty Kang shook his head and said, "It's a worthless thing."
Chen Jiayu walked up to Jialu, looked him up and down, and said, "If you are timid, you may be a little shy, but you should keep a low profile. This is for you, it is the legacy left by the Rat King."
Chen Jiayu handed a colorful gem to Jialu. Jialu felt a sense of closeness when he held it in his hand.
He rubbed the gem and said, "The inheritance he left me?"
Chen Jiayu told Jialu the whole story of Ziyang's obsession with the devil, hiding the part about stealing money from the treasury, and only said that he was a friend to help him escape.
"From now on, you will be the Rat King. This thing is a collection of Ziyang's Taoism. You can use it to hunt for treasures. The old, weak, sick and disabled you conquer are the last seeds of the Jinhua Rat."
Jia Lu suddenly felt his heart heavy, and the treasure hunt in his hand also became heavy.
Fatty Kang joked: "Now you have got what you wanted. Although you have not cut off the head of the Rat King, you can still replace it. From now on, you will be the Rat King's deer."
Jia Lu's face was irritated and he said: "Why does the store owner make fun of me? Although he doesn't want to harm the tribe, how can he not make the gods afraid of him when he transforms into a disaster demon? As the rat king, I can only make the rats scatter around to recuperate, how dare I Gather the crowd and claim the title of king.”
Fatty Kang said unexpectedly: "You still have some brains."
The deer couldn't bear the humiliation and said, "I already have a brain!" After saying that, he ran out of the backyard.
Xiao Yi'er raised her hand to call him, but Fatty Kang held him down and said, "Let him think about it alone."
It was just that the front hall couldn't be quiet. Not long after, there were people coming from under the City God's seat.
Fatty Kang and Xiao Yi'er went to receive them and inquired about the news.
By the time these bad guys were sent away, it was already midnight.
Fatty Kang said to Gong Mengbi: "Yesterday the City God found many boxes containing treasury silver in the Rat King's lair, but although the silver boxes were there, the treasury silver was gone. The City God was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, but the money in the Rat King's lair was Nothing came of it, I caught a few rat demons and interrogated them, but found nothing."
Gong Mengbi and Chen Jiayu looked at each other and sighed. Gong Mengbi didn't hide anything from Fatty Kang. Although he didn't tell Jialu clearly, he told Fatty Kang completely.
Fatty Kang said: "Now that the Rat King has taken over the crime of stealing silver, you two rat controllers are certainly not suspects. With his intelligence, he must have arranged everything he can and will not be able to find you." .”
Chen Jiayu said sadly: "I owe Ziyang too much."
He took out the "Disaster God's Law" in his arms: "I want to find out who is plotting to kill Ziyang, so I gave this evil book to him."
Fatty Kang wondered: "Why couldn't he have found it himself? When he handed you the God of Disaster Technique, didn't he tell you the origin of this book?"
Chen Jiayu said: "I once asked him, but he was very secretive and refused to answer. I know him too well. Maybe he will be unwilling to face the end of his life, but he will never choose to turn into a disaster demon. If he really wants to There is no need to wait until today to transform into a disaster demon."
Gong Mengbi agreed with Chen Jiayu's statement, but warned: "If someone designs to give this method to Ziyang, but Ziyang refuses to tell you clearly, you must be extremely careful. You will definitely offend this person. I'm sorry. He was afraid that you would lose your life, so he refused to tell you. He was just looking for a way to escape."
Chen Jiayu said: "I understand. I am weak on my own, but when my friend comes back and breaks the curse of the God of Disaster, we can start investigating."
Fatty Kang sighed: "You two, a cat and a mouse, have such a friendship, it's really rare."
Chen Jiayu said: "This is a long story."
Earlier, Chen Jiayu was still ignorant, just a kitten hired by an old couple. After three years of cultivation, Chen Jiayu suddenly became spiritual and knew how to swallow moonlight to practice. The old couple were old and frail, and the old man died first, leaving only the old woman who could not work and was hungry.
Chen Jiayu was raised by them. Now that the old woman had nothing to eat, Chen Jiayu looked for food for her. Sometimes it’s catching fish in the river, sometimes it’s stealing from other people’s homes.
Once when he was stealing, he was caught and wanted to skin him, but he was saved by a strong wind.
This evil wind is Ziyang. Ziyang had a similar experience to Chen Jiayu. In the early years, he lived in the same family and relied on that family's food to survive. Later, the family fell into ruin and the old woman begged for a living. Ziyang went around stealing to support his old woman, but was discovered by his neighbors and hired a Taoist priest to slay the demon.
The Taoist priest took pity on him because he had a heart of repaying his kindness, so he spared his life and taught him to follow the right path and become a spiritual immortal.
Now that he met Chen Jiayu, Ziyang felt like he had met his former self. Although he is a natural enemy of cats and mice, he still comes to the rescue and teaches Chen Jiayu what the Taoist priests taught him back then, and helps Chen Jiayu support his old woman.
It wasn't until the old woman died that Ziyang and Chen Jiayu separated.
Ziyang wanted to go to the county to practice cultivation, but Chen Jiayu didn't want to go, so he wandered in the mountains. Later, he found that the monks at Zhizhen Temple were kind and helpful, and served him with food and drink, so he stayed at Zhizhen Temple to listen to the scriptures.
Although one is listening to scriptures and practicing in Zhizhen Temple, and the other is practicing as a Rat King in the county, their connection has never been severed and they have always been close friends.
Gong Mengbi asked: "What about the friend you are waiting for?"
Chen Jiayu hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't spread rumors that he is a monk from Zhizhen Temple."
"The monk still stole money from the treasury?" Fatty Kang looked suspicious.
Chen Jiayu sighed and said: "If we have a way, we don't want to steal the treasury money. There are people everywhere in Tangxi River, and Zhizhen Temple is willing to give charity. I don't know how many refugees have come over. Even though the monks can only drink porridge and water, they all If we didn’t expel the refugees, then they would just be chewing tree bark.”
"He couldn't bear to see such a tragic scene, and he didn't want to implicate Zhizhen Temple. Since he broke away from home and returned to the secular world, calling himself a traitor, he no longer used his original Buddhist name and returned to his lay name, Lei Boyang."
"He respected me the most in the temple. I couldn't leave him alone, so I went down the mountain with him."
