Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 147 Questioning
Li Lijun put away the small target mirror, feeling that the origin of this mouse seems a bit complicated.

It turned out that it was not an accomplice of the giant snake, but might be its enemy.The giant snake snatched its "gold essence", and it chased after it to get it back, but the whereabouts of the giant snake was unknown, and it had nowhere to find the demon.Because it heard that Liu Dalang had been enshrining the giant snake, it cast a spell to rescue Liu Dalang so that it could track down the whereabouts of the giant snake.But Liu Dalang didn't know either, at most he could only tell the location of the giant snake's lair.The mouse simply took the man captive to the cave in the small hill, and asked Liu Dalang to work as a coolie to help him dig gold essence.It may be because Liu Dalang alone is not strong enough, so it kidnapped another person back.

The middle-aged man who was brought back from captivity is probably the one who was "eaten" by monsters and disappeared in recent rumors, right?It turned out that he didn't die, but was trapped in the hill as a coolie.

I don't know if there is a bigger entrance or exit for the cave in this small hill.Rats are small and can grow and shrink themselves, so a small hole is enough for it to get in and out.But for Liu Dalang and the captive man, it was impossible for them to pass through such a small hole, so they had no way of escaping. They could only honestly dig gold in the hole and survive on the food brought back by the mice every day.It's just that they didn't know before that the mice swallowed the food first, brought it back to the hole, and then spit it out for them to eat.Maybe the rats revealed the truth today, so they couldn't stand the protest?

That man probably came from a poor family, he wasn't that picky, if he wiped the fresh fruit, he could still wrap his stomach with it.And Liu Dalang has been pampered since he was a child, and he couldn't bear the food that went into the rat's stomach at all, so he got into a fight with the rat. After being suppressed, he didn't plan to eat, and would rather dig the earth hungry?

But... this mouse is not as vicious as imagined.Although it didn't eat less of the farmer's livestock, and the movements it made were very strange and terrifying, but it didn't hurt any of the people it took away. Even when it went out to look for food every day, it didn't forget to bring food back for them.This situation was much better than what Li Lijun had expected.

The reason why she came so fast was not only because she wanted to compete with Li Shen and the monks at Qingliang Temple, but also because there were rumors that someone in Liujiazhuang was missing and was suspected to be eaten by a monster.She didn't want more dead people in her village, so she came here to eliminate the demon.Now that she knew that no one had actually died, she felt a little relieved.

Of course, even if the mouse didn't eat people, she wouldn't let it go easily.It ate a lot of livestock, and caused heavy damage to the people in the village. It also robbed people, which was also very bad in nature!A monster who commits crimes is not a good monster.Since he is no longer a good monster, Li Lijun thinks that an orthodox monk like himself should slay monsters and eliminate demons!

She quietly flew to the small mountain bag, looked around, picked up a piece of gravel from the side of the mountain, put it into the storage space, and then took it out again.

In just a short while, the system has already analyzed the composition of the gravel, which is limestone.

Li Lijun flew to the top of the hill again, and used the same method to analyze the broken rocks on the surface of the mountain. Some of them are limestone, but most of them are iron-magnesium silicates, iron-nickel metal components, and iron sulfur compounds. wait.This composition sounded very familiar, and Li Lijun immediately deduced: "This is a meteorite?!"

This hemispherical hill is very likely to be a huge stone meteorite from outside the sky!But with such a large volume, when it falls on the ground, the movement cannot be underestimated.Li Lijun doesn't remember that there are relevant records in the history books I read. Could it be that it fell in a very long time, so long that there is no human civilization in the Guanzhong area, so the world doesn't know about it?

But... If such a large meteorite fell to the ground, shouldn't the surrounding terrain be like this?It is so tightly embedded in this land, if she hadn't analyzed its composition, she would only think that this is just a very ordinary hill, and would not have thought that it actually came from outside the sky.

Is there really no particular reason why the giant snake built its lair in this hill?

Li Lijun frowned and pondered for a moment, when he suddenly heard a hesitant sound coming from behind him, he hurriedly put on his black cloak, and turned his head to find out what was going on.

A fist-sized mouse came out of an unknown gap, and the fur on its body showed a faint metallic luster under the moonlight.After it got out of the mountain, it lay there groaning, as if spreading out a piece of mouse cake, and muttered: "One or two will only cause me trouble... I can bring the food back with a bag, but I There is no way to bring it into the cave! You really dug the door of the cave, why don’t you run away for me? Do you really think I’m a fool?!”

Li Lijun was not far away from it, but it didn't even look at her. It seemed that it was completely unaware of her existence, and it didn't expect that there would be other people on the top of the hill.

Is this mouse not too clever?
Li Lijun took out the bottle filled with Jing River sediment from the storage space, uncorked the bottle, and tilted the mouth of the bottle downwards, letting the sediment in the bottle flow out of the bottle silently in the dark, slowly towards the mouse. The sprawl surrounds the past.

Seeing that the mud and sand quietly surrounded the three-meter range around the mouse, she cleared her throat just now and made a sound in the dark night on purpose: "Except for making yourself bigger or smaller, you won't change anything. Is there a spell? Can't you bring the food into the hole?"

Before she could finish her sentence, the mouse cake could be seen to expand into a mouse again with the naked eye, and at the same time, the hair all over her body was "exploded" into a ball of hair.

The mouse quickly got up and turned around, staring at her, his small eyes rolled a few times: "Where did the little lady come from? What is the purpose of this world?"

This polite wording doesn't quite match its usual "I" to "I" tone.Li Lijun couldn't help but smiled: "Me? I have nothing to do. This is my Zhuangzi, don't you know? It's very common for me to be here. But you little mouse, where did you come from? You What is there to do when you come to this land?"

"Nonsense!" The mouse couldn't pretend to be elegant anymore, "This is the Liu Family Village! I've met the owner of Zhuangzi before, I don't look like you!"

Li Lijun smiled: "You mean Liu Dalang, right? He committed a crime and was arrested by the government. In order to save him, his wife sold Zhuangzi to someone else. The buyer then resold Zhuangzi, and now it is in my hands. So , now I am the owner of this village. I have the land deed in my hand, and it is even registered in the government!"

The mouse groaned twice, and rolled its small eyes: "Even if you are the master, you can't get in my way! This is not the boundary of Liujiazhuang!"

"But the Zhuangzi next door belongs to our family now." Li Lijun blinked, "The land between the two Zhuangzi and this mountain are all on the title deed. If you don't believe me, go to the government to check?"

Seeing that the mouse had nothing to say, she lowered her head and said, "So, now that I am the owner of this place, I have the right to ask you, what are you doing here, you monster, on my land? You even ate my farm. livestock? Are you not afraid that I will ask someone to catch you?!"

The mouse blew its fur again.This time, the little hairball squeaked, turned around and ran away without saying anything.
