My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 23
Jiang Yuan glanced around the wooden house, and quickly noticed the iron cage hidden in the corner covered with talismans.

He walked over in two steps, leaned over and saw that there was indeed a yellow-haired mouse inside.

The little demon was lying softly like a puddle of mud, when she heard the movement, she raised her head as hard as she could, and grinned at Jiang Yuan.

"Yellow rat?"

After calling twice, the rat demon didn't respond, it just bared its teeth and roared.

It was only then that Jiang Yuan realized that the small eyes of the yellow-haired mouse were full of confusion, and the aura was not visible.

"The talisman suppressed the mind?"

Jiang Yuan stretched out his hand to tear off the talisman paper on the iron cage, and as soon as he touched it, the talisman paper shone with divine light, and he felt severe pain, as if his palm was pressed against the needle board.

Just take the iron cage away?

No!

It's inconvenient, and I don't know if there will be a tracking talisman on it.

Jiang Yuan turned his gaze to the fire pit next to him.

"Yellow-haired rat, you bear with it."

Jiang Yuan kicked the iron cage directly into the fire pit. ,
In an instant, flames exploded everywhere.

"squeak"

The rat screamed in pain in the cage.

Jiang Yuan showed joy, because the talisman paper on the iron cage began to emit black smoke and burn quickly.

The talisman hadn't burned out yet, but the restriction was almost lifted, the iron cage burst open, and a golden light rushed out of the flames screaming.

"It's hot! It's hot!"

Jin Guang stumbled and fell, rubbing on the floor for a while, trying to extinguish the anger that lingered on his body.

Jiang Yuan raised the corner of his mouth, pulled the animal skin beside him, and covered the flopping figure.

The rat demon instinctively struggled and resisted, Jiang Yuan quickly called out:
"It's me, I'm here to save you!"

"It's you?"

The rat demon stopped thumping and let Jiang Yuan wrap it up.

The plan was successful, Jiang Yuan didn't delay, and ran out while rubbing away the remaining anger of the yellow-haired mouse with the animal skin.

In the darkness in the distance, dogs barked faintly, as well as eager human voices:
"Who are you, but I offended you?"

"We are under the command of Beiyang Mountain Tour Officer, arrest quickly, let Yuan Ji go!"

Jiang Yuan quietly avoided the darkness and ran towards the high ground.

"The fire is gone, let me out."

On the way, the rat demon broke free from the animal skin and jumped out, about to cast a spell.

"Don't use the precious light technique, it's conspicuous!"

Jiang Yuan sounded a reminder, and the golden light that had just appeared was instantly annihilated.

The rat demon followed Jiang Yuan's arm, climbed up to his shoulder, turned his head and looked around: "Where is Senior Monkey?"

The lights of the wooden house were already far away, Jiang Yuan relaxed and joked while running:
"Don't you thank your savior first?"

Who would have thought that little demon said disdainfully: "You will save me? Those mountain patrolling catchers were lured away by Senior Monkey."

"The ungrateful rat spirit!"

Jiang Yuan was so angry that he glanced at the scorched black on the mouse monster's body, and cursed bitterly: "If I knew it earlier, I would have turned you into a roast mouse."

"Sure enough, you thief is taking the opportunity to take revenge on me."

The rat demon was stepped on a sore foot, jumped up and down on Jiang Yuan's shoulder, touched the scorched hair on his body, wanted to cry but had no tears:
"My beautiful hair is gone."

Indeed, before this little demon was covered with shiny yellow hair, without the slightest bit of wretchedness like a mouse, but full of the mystical sense of a spirit beast.

At this time, the body was scorched and black, and many places were directly burned and bald. The magic was no longer there, only the embarrassment remained.

Even though the little demon was jumping around and complaining non-stop, there was no trace of resentment, instead, he showed a sense of intimacy.

Obviously, this yellow-haired mouse is sensible and kind.

Noisily returning to the high ground, Jiang Yuan threw the yellow-haired rat on his shoulder into the back basket fixed on the ground, and then lifted the back bag to look for Wuqian.

"Senior Monkey, come back quickly, I'm out of trouble."

The rat demon leaned in front of the old monkey's body and shouted gratefully.

It has learned about the old monkey's plan from Jiang Yuan, and now it is grateful to the old monkey.

Jiang Yuan found his mount, put the basket on the donkey's back, and after everything was ready, he looked into the distance and said in a low voice, "Old monkey, it's time to come back."

However, before the old monkey came, there was an accident, and it was the worst accident——

Zheng Bowei is here!
Under the moonlight, a cloud of ghostly howling black mist galloped close to the ground.

There were three people in the fog, all riding ghost horses with gloomy spirit and green eyes.

Zheng Bowei was in the lead, with a black pennant hanging behind his back, with tadpole-like gold symbols floating on the flag.

That is the Six Ding Liujia Divine Talisman Banner, when Zheng Bowei was promoted to the eighth rank Lingxiao Tianlu, and he was also a tour official, it was bestowed by the heavenly official to drive away gods and ghosts.

The ghost horse under the three seats was summoned with this flag.

Following Zheng Bowei's left and right sides, the two youths dressed as Taoist priests, carrying Dharma swords on their backs, are his sedative priests.

Jiang Yuan hid in the dark, watched the ghost mist billowing towards the wooden house, and exclaimed at the same time as the rat demon in the basket:

"It happened!"

In the next second, a golden light appeared, about to jump out of the basket: "I'm going to save Senior Monkey."

With quick hands and quick eyes, Jiang Yuan grabbed Jin Guang and growled, "What are you going to do?"

"Let me go! Let go!"

The yellow-haired rat was already weak, and the golden light collapsed immediately. After struggling in Jiang Yuan's hands to no avail, it got angry and opened its mouth to bite hard.

"You rat!"

Jiang Yuan cursed in pain, not only did not let go, but also added another hand to hold the yellow-haired mouse even harder.

Letting this little monster pass will only make things worse.

Seeing the cloud of ghost fog descending on the wooden house, and the three figures of Zheng Bowei appearing, Jiang Yuan knew that he could not wait any longer, so he flipped onto his mount empty-handed:
"drive!"

Five thousand steps forward.

Under Jiang Yuan's urging, the gray donkey was getting faster and faster, galloping on the drowsy wilderness.

After running for a long time, Wuqian tired and slowed down.

Jiang Yuan turned his head, but he couldn't see a trace of the wooden house, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The wound on the hand was no longer bleeding, and the yellow-haired mouse only bit it at the first time, and it didn't bite again.

The little demon no longer struggled, staring at the dark night behind him with a pair of small eyes.

Jiang Yuan also looked back.

However, the wilderness under the dark night is drowsy and lonely, except for occasional flashes of light, there is only the whistling night wind.

To be honest, even counting the experience of going to Beiyang Mountain Mansion together, he and the old monkey have only been together for a day, so there is no relationship.

But when I thought that the old monkey might end like this, I was still a little sad.

In addition to being sad, I suddenly felt a surge of indignation——

Run away, run away, run away, when will you not run away, when will you be strong enough!

"call"

After exhaling heavily, Jiang Yuan looked down at the dazed yellow-haired mouse after venting out the depression in his heart.

Xiao Yao's state of mind at this time should be similar to mine.

"Let me go." The mouse demon suddenly said.

Feeling that the body in the palm was indeed relaxed, Jiang Yuan relaxed his tightly clenched hands.

The mouse demon swished the golden light and sank into the basket, then squatted down next to the old monkey's sustenance body, and buried his head in silence.

Jiang Yuan took out the wine bag from the basket, poured some on the wound on his hand, and immediately felt a burning pain.

When throwing the wine bag back into the basket, he glanced at the yellow-haired rat in the posture of a guardian, and hummed:

"Seeing that you are so affectionate, I won't hold you accountable for biting me."

"By the way, you don't have the disease, do you?"

The yellow-haired mouse reacted, rolled its eyelids at Jiang Yuan, and said coldly: "I haven't even eaten blood food, so where is the disease?"

Jiang Yuan bandaged the wound and made a summary. After pacifying the mount, he turned his head and shouted at the yellow-haired mouse: "There is something, I have to tell you clearly, I will save you under conditions."

After a pause, he added: "The old monkey agreed for you in advance."

The rat demon raised his head, glanced at the wound on Jiang Yuan's hand, nodded and said: "Since the old monkey has already agreed, then no matter what, I will agree."

"You said it." Jiang Yuan was overjoyed, and quickly said: "Then teach me the precious light technique quickly."

The rat demon didn't expect this at all, it thought that Jiang Yuan wanted to take it as a spiritual pet, and was ready to agree.

Because many monks and gods would accept monsters as mounts or guardians.

Naturally, a rat demon can't be a mount, but it's perfectly fine to be a pet that looks after the house.

It's just that he didn't expect that Jiang Yuan wanted to learn spells from it.

But compared to being a spiritual pet, this is more acceptable to the rat demon, so he said directly: "My precious light technique is also obtained from humans, you can indeed learn it."

"Which fairy teacher taught you?"

Jiang Yuan was curious, and the mouse demon explained it first.

It turned out that when the rat demon was still an ordinary yellow-haired rat, he burrowed underground and accidentally broke into a secret room.

After eating the residual wax oil in the secret room, he opened his spiritual wisdom, and found that there were many gold nuggets piled up in the secret room. There was a skeleton lying on the gold nugget, and there was a gold page on the skeleton.

The Precious Light Art is the spell recorded on the golden page. In addition to this spell, there is also a meditation formula on the golden page.

"Cultivation method?"

Jiang Yuan shouted, and looked at the yellow-haired mouse with bright eyes.

"It's just for meditation, not for cultivation."

The mouse demon emphasized, seeing that the light in Jiang Yuan's eyes was still not extinguished, he said helplessly, "Forget it, I will leave it to you together."

"Let's talk about the meditation formula first, you listen carefully:

'Ice and cold through the ages, all things are still and still, and nothing changes. There is no abandonment, no abandonment, no action and no self'”

"Since I started channeling spirits and transforming demons, I have always been thirsty for blood and food. I rely on this meditation formula to dissolve my demon nature and maintain my spiritual roots."

"So it's not an ordinary meditation formula."

"Then there is this precious light technique, the formula is as follows:

"Taishang Xuanshen, make me natural, amulet my life at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, transform my body shape, spirit treasure Danyuan, make me pass through the true precious light, and prove my supernatural power'"

"In addition, you already know that the precious light technique can't be done without the magic formula, and you must cooperate with swallowing gold."

Jiang Yuan silently memorized the "Meditation Formula" and "Bao Guang Shu Jue", and then couldn't help asking: "When I swallowed gold and practiced Bao Guang Shu, would I also have that, uh, row of gold beans?"

The mouse demon was stunned for a moment, then looked Jiang Yuan up and down with weird eyes, and after a while, he smiled and replied: "I, I don't know."

"cough cough"

Jiang Yuan coughed twice and changed the subject directly: "How much gold have you swallowed so far?"

The rat demon suppressed his smile, thought for a while, and replied: "I didn't remember, but before Gucheng, I had swallowed the gold from two cities, but those two cities were much smaller than Gucheng. "

"It consumes so much!" Jiang Yuan said in surprise.

Thinking back to the previous performance of the Rat Demon, he suddenly felt that this spell seemed a bit ostentatious, not as powerful as he had imagined.

The mouse demon looked at Jiang Yuan's expression and sneered, "Why, don't you like it?"

Jiang Yuan curled his lips and snorted, "Spells vary from person to person, maybe only in my hands can it exert its true power."

Unexpectedly, this reply, not to be outdone, got the rat demon's nod of approval:
"You are right, you must be more suitable for the precious light technique than me."

Jiang Yuan felt embarrassed, "I can't be so sure."

The yellow-haired mouse's expression suddenly became gloomy.

The little demon sighed and said, "I'm not praising you, I'm telling the truth."

"Cultivating for so long, consuming so much gold, but getting twice the result with half the effort, I have long understood."

"Since this precious light technique is obtained from humans, it is not suitable for monsters to practice. I have been deceiving myself."

Jiang Yuan put away his frivolity, and said seriously: "Don't worry, we are going to Huaguo Mountain, there are many monsters there, there must be spells suitable for you."

"Huaguo Mountain?" The rat demon asked suspiciously, "What kind of place is that?"

Jiang Yuan asked in surprise, "You don't know about Huaguo Mountain? What about Monkey King, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?"

The mouse demon shook his head: "I know there are 'seven saints' among the monsters. Could it be that the Monkey King is one of them?"

"You yellow mouse are really a monster in vain."

Jiang Yuan was delighted, and began to introduce eloquently:

"By the way, there is an Aolai country in Dongsheng Shenzhou, there is a mountain of flowers and fruits in the sea nearby, and there is a fairy stone on the top of the mountain."

The moonlight swayed, the night wind blew, and the story of Sun Monkey floated on the wasteland.

Speaking of rising, Jiang Yuan took the wine bag and drank with his head raised.

The spilled wine dripped onto Wuqian's head and flowed to its mouth. The gray donkey stuck out its tongue and licked it, its big eyes narrowed immediately.

One person, one donkey, and a rat in the basket on the donkey's back, and a silent monkey body.

This strange team walked through the wilderness for a short time, passing through a small forest, and a river appeared.

The small river is not big, it should be a tributary of Jishui.

"...The heavenly soldiers and generals led by the Heavenly King Tota were defeated, and the Heavenly Court had no choice but to recognize the title of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and order Sun Wukong again..."

The yellow-haired mouse listened, his heart was surging, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Jiang Yuan was also yearning for it. Just as he was about to end the story, he couldn't tell the rest when he suddenly heard the sound of huge water waves.

Looking up, he saw a strange huge wave at the end of the small river.

No, the river is less than a foot wide, and the sea is calm, how can there be such a huge wave?

Jiang Yuan sensed something was wrong.

The huge waves in the distance are constantly expanding, seeming to roll up the water of the entire river.

And it's getting closer!
Jiang Yuan pulled the rein again and again, turned his mount around, and shouted loudly:
"It's a flood!"

Rumble!
The violent huge wave swept in, like a legendary gluttonous beast, swallowing everything in its path.

The yellow-haired rat jumped from the basket to Jiang Yuan's shoulder, looking at the terrifying flood with a solemn expression.

Suddenly, the mouse demon pointed at the wave and screamed: "There is a person on the huge wave, it seems to be a child!"

Jiang Yuan hurriedly turned around to look, his face was filled with horror.

I saw a human-like child, stepping high on the top of the huge waves, waving something like a flag.

Seemingly aware of Jiang Yuan's gaze, the child turned his head to look.

I couldn't see the child's expression clearly, but with a wave of the little hand, the huge wave turned like a tame domestic dog, and rolled towards Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan was terrified for a moment, desperately urging his mount.

However, giant wave floods are faster!

At this moment, the old body in the basket suddenly trembled, and then the weak voice of the old monkey came out:
"Where is this?"
