Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 148
With the duck in hand, can Li Lijun let it fly?

As soon as she thought about it, the mud and sand that had already surrounded her surrounded the mouse like a large piece of thick burden cloth, tightly wrapping it in the middle.It struggled desperately, but Li Lijun was watching, the sand wrapped it tightly, how could it get out?

Then it changed its method, and instantly swelled its body, trying to break through the siege of sand.But the strength of the sand was stronger than it, not only could it not break through the sand layer, but its own skeleton had to bear the pressure of the sand, making a faint creaking sound.

Immediately, it changed to the third method, carrying the mud and sand balls and scurrying around suddenly, or hitting the rocks, or swinging its body back and forth in an attempt to throw the mud and sand on its body.Yet again it was disappointed.The mud and sand were firmly fixed around it from beginning to end, and it was impossible to get rid of it.

Seeing that it was struggling non-stop, Li Lijun simply increased his strength, making the sand ball shrink, shrinking and shrinking, leaving no room for the mouse, and even blocking its ears, mouth and nose...

The mouse squeaked, and the whole mouse fell on the top of the hill, begging for mercy through layers of mud and sand: "Little fairy, please forgive me! I've accepted it! It's my fault, I shouldn't have eaten it!" Livestock in your farm, you can tell me to do whatever you want, I beg the little fairy to spare my life!"

Li Lijun raised the corners of his mouth: "Then you have to be honest, what exactly do you want to come to my village? You have to pay the owners of the livestock you ate earlier. And the people you took away must be released immediately." !"

The mouse responded repeatedly, and even promised: "I have gold and silver, and I will give them all to the owners of those livestock! I have many years of savings, and I have a lot of treasure! Give it all to the little fairy!"

This is not rare for her.Li Lijun twitched the corners of his mouth and slightly loosened the mud and sand's wrap on the mouse, but he quietly took out the fine steel sword in his hand and hid it behind his back, just in case.

The mouse looked very honest, the sand loosened a little, it still lay on the ground, continued to beg for mercy, and took the initiative to explain what treasures he had: "I have a lot of gold, and the place where I was born was a gold mine. The color is excellent. I am willing to donate gold to make flower hairpins for the little fairy..."

The sand loosened a little more, about two or three feet away from it.

The mouse's small eyeballs rolled around, and he continued to explain: "I still have a few excellent big rubies, which are rare treasures in the world! Only a girl like Xiaoxianzi is worthy..." Before he finished speaking, a strange wind suddenly blew up around it, and then something in the shape of a long whip was thrown towards Li Lijun.

The silver light of the fine steel long sword in Li Lijun's hand flashed, and the "long whip" happened to meet the "long whip".Then came the painful howling of the mouse.It turned out that its tail was cut off by the sword.

Li Lijun stabbed the mouse with a long sword unceremoniously, and firmly nailed the mouse's right forearm to the ground, making it impossible to escape.The howling of the mouse became louder immediately.Li Lijun casually threw out a few silencers, including the Xiaoshanbao area, so that even if any tragic things happened, the people on both sides of the village would not be disturbed.

As for Liu Dalang and the coolies in the cave, Li Lijun can't take care of them for the time being, as long as their lives are safe.

At this time, Li Lijun just looked at the mouse leisurely: "A person must keep his promise, and a monster should do the same. Since you said that you want to surrender to me, how can you lie to people? It can be seen that it is a bad monster. I am a practitioner, see When it comes to bad monsters, you should kill them."

The mouse cried: "I haven't done any bad things, but I just ate a few livestock, so I can't lose money. How did I become a bad monster?!"

Li Lijun sneered: "You are not a bad monster, how can you still be a good monster? Judging by your behavior, it is obviously not a good thing. I have not stabbed you to death with a sword now, because you have never hurt anyone in Liujiazhuang. Come on. If I find out that you have actually eaten people, see if I will let you continue to live!"

The mouse whimpered and cried a few times, and suddenly came to his senses: "You...you mean, if I had never eaten or hurt anyone's life, you would have let me go?"

Li Lijun sneered: "Don't think that I will believe what you say. You have lied to me just now. If you are not guilty, why did you run away?!"

"I really didn't lie!" the mouse cried and begged, "I thought you ran away because you came to snatch my gold. It is my life savings! If the little fairy can really spare my life, I... I would rather Give me all the gold!" At the end, it couldn't help showing a heartbroken expression.

Li Lijun rolled her eyes: "Don't talk about offering gold at all times. How much gold do you have? How can I still be rare?!" She pulled out the sword that was pinned to the mouse's right forearm, but did not remove the surrounding sand .

This time, the mouse is really honest.It prostrated itself on the ground, clutching its wound, shrinking its head, with a pitiful look: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have escaped. I beg the little fairy to spare me!"

Li Lijun began to interrogate: "Where did you come from? What skills do you have? Why did you come here?"

The mouse confessed that he came from Taibai Mountain in the west, and he was born in a gold mine. He has lived for more than 50 years and has already become a master.

Its cultivation mainly depends on a piece of gold essence, which is the most aura-rich ore contained in gold mines.On weekdays, it would drag the golden essence to the moon, and the whole mouse would lie on it and swallow the moonlight, and gradually its mana would increase.Having lived for more than 50 years, it not only has a lifespan far exceeding that of its peers, but also can grow and shrink. Its claws and tail are very flexible and sharp.It has a small storage space in its stomach, and is proficient in digging skills. Although it has not yet transformed into a human form, it relies on digging gold mines to trade with familiar mountain people, and it lives like a fish in water in the Taibai Mountain area.

Until a giant snake happened to pass by.

The mouse whimpered and said, "The snake saw that I was using gold essence to cultivate, so it became greedy and snatched the gold essence from my hand. I couldn't resist, my claws and flesh were burned by it, so I hid to raise it." I have been injured for more than half a year. Without the golden essence, I really can’t continue to practice. I thought I would get it back no matter what, so I searched all the way. Unexpectedly, when I arrived at Liujiazhuang, the snake had disappeared. I don't know where its lair is, so I had to take Liu Dalang away and question it."

Unexpectedly, although it found the snake's lair, it did not find the snake.Liu Dalang didn't even know where Jin Jing was.The only thing that can be found clearly is that when the giant snake left Liujiazhuang that day, it did not bring any gold essence with it, so it guessed that the gold essence was still hidden in the giant snake's lair.Its paw was injured and its ability to dig the ground was greatly reduced, so it had to force Liu Dalang to work as a coolie with the returned villagers.In fact, it really didn't think about hurting anyone's life. When it finds the golden essence, it will let the person go, and then leave on its own.

As for the livestock that are eaten, it is really a last resort.Because of the injury, it urgently needs supplemental nutrition.And because there is no gold essence, it is impossible to replenish mana with moonlight through cultivation, so it can only rely on food.But it dares not kill or eat people.The magic formula it cultivates is passed down from the ancestors of the "drilling squirrel". During the cultivation process, it must not eat people, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted.

It begged Li Lijun: "Little Fairy, please spare my life! As long as you don't steal my gold essence, you are my great benefactor! I am willing to recognize you as master, and you can let me do whatever you want!"

Li Lijun raised his eyebrows: "So...you are a gopher?"
