Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 54 Catching Rats
Zhao Yifu didn't know that the cats in his home were beginning to become spirits. He still went to the streets to sell paintings and then indulged in random thoughts and fantasies.

But at this moment, his five senses, which were enhanced by the spiritual fruit juice in the white jade jar, captured some movements extremely keenly.

He saw a shifty little head popping out of an alley not far from him, looking around.

A mouse.

Originally, Zhao Yifu was not surprised by this, after all, it was a common sight on city streets.

But who made him get the arrangement from his master to be the outer sect protector?

How did he become an outer sect guardian? To put it bluntly, it was all for catching mice.

So he scratched Yiyi's head and said, "Go, Yiyi, catch that mouse."

Yiyi meowed in disgust and left reluctantly.

After all, Miss Yiyi loves cleanliness so much, how could she catch such a dirty mouse?
But there was no way, since it was the owner's need, it reluctantly agreed.

It jumped down from Zhao Yifu's bookcase and arrived at the entrance of the alley in three or two leaps.

The mouse obviously didn't react at all, and only then did it try to duck its head back inside...

I saw Yiyi had already caught up with it, and then suddenly swung her claws at it.

When a kitten shakes its paw, it is cute in the eyes of humans, but in the eyes of mice, it is the call of death.

The mouse looked stupid and was beaten by Yiyi so hard that it rolled around on the spot.

At this time, Yiyi had already nimbly jumped behind the mouse and slapped it again, making it roll towards Zhao Yifu.

The mouse struggled desperately to get up and try to escape, but it had only taken two steps when Yiyi caught up with it and hit it with a claw, making it roll on the spot.

The mouse, which seemed to be hard to catch and hid in corners, looked so clumsy in front of Yiyi. In a few seconds, it was pulled in front of Zhao Yifu.

Then it pressed its claws on the mouse, raised its head and called out in a coquettish tone: "Meow~"

It seems to be saying, "Take it quickly!"

Zhao Yifu laughed when he saw this, then he took out his pen washer which he used to hold water, turned it upside down, and trapped the mouse inside.

He said, "I'm going home."

He looked very excited, as if he was going back to play with the mouse.

Maybe he wasn't going to play with mice, but he was no longer in the mood to set up a stall.

Zhao Yifu has seemed very impetuous recently, and he seems to be only enthusiastic for a short time in everything he does.

He seemed to have entered a strange mental state. He was curious about everything and wanted to try everything. He had a lot of ideas but no perseverance.

At this time, Song Jie was out helping someone write a eulogy and was not here, so he left in peace.

……

Bald Rat is a full-time scout of the Midnight Kingdom. Today, he received military orders from the kingdom and came to Moyang City in the human world to gather information.

As a dedicated scout, his advantage is naturally that he can hide his demonic power from being discovered by human cultivators.

It felt that its disguise was very successful. At least it had successfully sneaked into the city and did not attract the attention of any human cultivators... except this time.

It never thought that it would fall on a three-month-old kitten.

Although it can counterattack as long as it reveals its true form, but what happens after the counterattack? It will be exposed!

So as a professional scout, it chooses to endure, knowing there will always be a chance to counterattack and avenge its shame.

So the scout rat was dragged home by Zhao Yi Fu.

The scabby rat was imprisoned in the brush washer, quite calm, waiting until no one was around before emerging to strike back. At most, it would leave the world with one more unsolved case.

But when it felt its eyes light up and was released from the brush washer...

At this moment, it felt a chill down its spine.

Because it saw a group of cats looking at it curiously, the unlucky feeling of encountering a natural enemy made it tremble with fear.

What's worse than encountering a natural enemy is encountering a group of natural enemies.

Blanch!
The rats became the cats' balls, kicked around the yard just for fun. Well, cats wouldn't want to eat rats when they have enough food, they catch them just for fun.

Rats are great animals because they can eat when they are hungry and help digest food when they are full. No wonder they are one of the twelve zodiac animals.

The cats jumped and meowed happily, running around the scabby rat, always keeping it in the middle.

Zhao Yifu looked at this scene and laughed, then suddenly an idea came to him. He stretched out his hand, pressed two fingers on the inkstone beside him, and then threw it out with the ink.

Telepathic finger force!

The ink flew far away and landed among the group of cats playing.

Then, the ink-splashing technique!

The ball of ink suddenly spread out and formed an ink-and-wash kitten.

The kitten was formed in mid-air and frozen in a playful posture, vivid and lifelike as if it were a real thing.

Then Zhao Yifu turned his fingers slightly, and used the Eight Styles of Renshui to control the already formed kitten to move slowly.

It was stiff at first, but gradually it became smoother...

Then his final inspiration struck him, and he added the mystic art of Mirage to this hodgepodge of spells.

The next moment, the ink-and-wash kitten came to life, as if there was really a black cat among the cats.

Yiyi looked at Zhao Yifu blankly, not quite understanding when she got a new sister.

That’s right, the expressions and movements of this ink-and-wash cat are all imitations of Yiyi.

If Liang Zhongzhi saw Zhao Yifu's magic, he would definitely be amazed.

Because he integrated illusion into the painting and brought the painting into reality.

Although he didn't know what the use of this was, at least Zhao Yifu was having a lot of fun at the time.

But just as he was playing, he suddenly heard a rather hoarse cat's meow.

"Meow~"

The voice was full of wildness and sharpness.

At this time, the cats immediately stopped and exposed the miserable scabby rat in the middle.

Zhao Yifu's ink-and-wash kitten was also among them, blending in with a curious look.

Then the huge Hua Daniu walked out of the house step by step.

It felt as if every step it took made the ground tremble.

"Meow~"

It barked again, this time at the rat's low moan.

Then all the cats showed ferocious attacking postures.

The rat immediately trembled with fear.

But at this moment, a large bronze sword suddenly struck him head on...

"Bah~"

The mouse was squashed.

Then the big sword shoveled under the meat pie deftly and threw it outside the courtyard wall in a very rude manner.

All the cats turned their heads to look at Zhao Yifu who had done all this.

Seeing that even Hua Da Niu had to turn her head with great effort to look at him, Zhao Yi Fu laughed and said, "Don't bite such dirty things casually. When you've had enough fun, just kill it and throw it away."

"Okay, it's almost time for dinner. I'll go see what Uncle Wu prepared for today."

With that he left.

But what made him feel incredible was that there was a sudden rhythmic "meow meow" from the cats behind him, as if the cats were holding a meeting.
