Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 255 Keeping a low profile
An Yi Restaurant was busy all day long, and it didn't get quiet until nightfall.

Although there is no curfew by the government, the fights between the fox demon and the rats last night have long been watched by people.

After waking up, the people in the county city never saw the black-haired rat again. Although the fox spirit was good at repelling the rat, the people were also afraid of encountering the monster again, so they hurried home after dark to avoid running into the monster. Charms, ghosts and gods.

The business of Anyi Restaurant has been affected, but Fatty Kang doesn't rely on this to make money.

When there was no one else, he asked Xiao Yier to light the fox lantern and willow's fire, 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 underworld, they come here sporadically, and most of the time there is no one there.

Fatty Kang and Xiao Yier rested, and they talked in the backyard.

Gong Mengbi brought Chen Jiayu to see them, and introduced Chen Jiayu's background to them, Jialu already started to tremble.

Fatty Kang shook his head, and said, "A worthless thing."

Chen Jiayu walked up to Jialu, looked him up and down, and said, "It's a little timid to be timid, but it's just a good time to hide your strength and bide your time. This is for you, it is the inheritance left by the Shu King."

Chen Jiayu handed a five-color gem to Jialu, and Jialu held it in his hand, and he felt a sense of intimacy.

He stroked the gem and said, "The legacy he left me?"

Chen Jiayu then told Jialu the whole story of Ziyang's obsession, and concealed the part about the robbery of treasury silver, and only said that he was a friend to send him out.

"From now on, you will be the rat king. This thing is a collection of Ziyang Taoism, and you can rely on it to hunt for treasures. The old, weak, sick and disabled you subdue are the last seeds of the Jinhua rats."

Jia Lu suddenly felt heavy in his heart, and the gem in his hand also became heavy.

Fatty Kang joked: "Now you have got your wish. Although you didn't cut off the head of the Mouse King, you have replaced him. From now on, you will be the Mouse King's family deer."

With shame on his face, Jia Lu said: "Why do you have to make fun of me? Although he doesn't want to bring trouble to the group, how can he not let the gods be jealous of him as a disaster demon. As the rat king, I can only scatter the group of rats to rest and recuperate. Gather the crowd and become king."

Fatty Kang said unexpectedly: "You still have some brains."

Jialu couldn't stand the humiliation, and said, "I already have a brain!" 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 quietly."

It's just that it couldn't be quiet in the front hall, and not long after, there was a ghost under the seat of Chenghuang coming together.

Fatty Kang and Xiao Yi'er went to receive them, and inquired about the news along the way.

By the time these errands were sent away, it was already midnight.

Fatty Kang said to Gong Mengbi: "Yesterday, the City God found many boxes containing Ku Yin in the rat king's lair, but although the silver boxes were there, Ku Yin was gone. The City God was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, but the rat king's lair It's empty, and I caught a few rat demons for interrogation, but nothing was found."

Gong Mengbi and Chen Jiayu looked at each other, then both sighed.Gong Mengbi didn't hide anything from Fatty Kang. Although he didn't tell Jialu clearly, he told Fatty Kang clearly.

Fatty Kang said: "Now that the Mouse King has committed the crime of stealing silver, of course the two of you who control the rats are not suspected. With his intelligence, he must have already arranged everything that can be arranged, and he will not be able to find out about you." .”

Chen Jiayu said sadly: "I owe Ziyang too much."

He took out the "Disaster God Law" in his arms: "I want to find out who is murdering Ziyang, so I will give this evil book to him."

Fatty Kang wondered: "Why can't he find it himself? When he handed you the Calamity God Law, didn't he tell you the origin of this book?"

Chen Jiayu said: "I asked him before, but he was 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 calamity. If he really wants to You don’t have to wait until today to become a disaster demon.”

Gong Mengbi agreed with Chen Jiayu's statement, but warned: "If someone plans to give this method to Ziyang, but Ziyang refuses to explain it to you, you have to be extremely careful. You must mess with this person. I'm sorry. He was afraid that you would lose your life, so he refused to tell you, and he was just looking for a way to escape."

Chen Jiayu said: "I understand. I am alone and weak, but when my friend comes back and breaks the curse of the God of Calamity, 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 raising her, Chen Jiayu suddenly became spiritual and knew how to practice moonlight.The old couple was 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, and now the old woman has nothing to eat, so Chen Jiayu looked for food for her.Sometimes it's catching fish in the river, sometimes it's stealing from other people's houses.

Once when he was stealing, he was caught and wanted to skin him, but he was saved by a gust of wind.

This evil wind is Ziyang.Ziyang and Chen Jiayu had a similar experience. In the early years, they lived in a family and lived by eating the food from that family. Later, the family fell into ruin, and the old woman begged for a living.Ziyang stole everywhere to support the old woman, but was broken by the neighbors, so he invited a Taoist priest to subdue the demon.

The Taoist took pity on him for having a heart of repaying kindness, so he spared his life and taught him to walk the right way and become a spirit fairy.

Seeing Chen Jiayu now, Ziyang seemed to meet his former self.Although he is a natural enemy of cats and mice, he still came forward to save him, and taught Chen Jiayu what the Taoist priest taught him back then, and helped Chen Jiayu take care of his elderly wife.

It was not until the old woman died that Ziyang and Chen Jiayu separated.

Ziyang was going to practice in the county town. Chen Jiayu didn't want to go, so he wandered in the mountains. Later, he found that the monks in Zhizhen Temple were kind and generous, serving him with food and drink, so he stayed in Zhizhen Temple to listen to scriptures.

Although one listened to the scriptures and practiced in Zhizhen Temple, and the other practiced as a mouse king in the county town, their contact has never been broken, and they have always been close friends.

Gong Mengbi asked: "Then what about that friend you were waiting for?"

Chen Jiayu hesitated for a moment, and said, "Don't spread the word, he is a monk from Zhizhen Temple."

"The monk still stole the treasury silver?" Fatty Kang looked suspicious.

Chen Jiayu sighed, and said: "If there is a way, we don't want to steal the silver from the treasury. Tangxi is full of refugees, and Zhizhen Temple is willing to do good. I don't know how many refugees have flocked here. Without expelling the refugees, they could only gnaw tree bark afterwards."

"He couldn't bear to see such a miserable scene, and he didn't want to bring Zhizhen Temple into trouble. Since he broke his family and called himself a traitor, he no longer used his original dharma name, and returned to his lay name, Lei Boyang."

"He respects me the most in the temple. I couldn't leave him alone, so I came down the mountain with him."
