The immortal white ape has been listening to Taoism for 30 years

Chapter 19

Ye Cheng has one more job.

Raising Baoxiang rats.

Taoist priest Yu Zhen said that Baoxiang rats are difficult to raise and have strict requirements on living environment, food, etc.

It requires specialized breeding techniques.

"Eat, why don't you eat? If you don't eat, you will starve to death."

Ye Cheng took a bowl of rice and placed it in the bamboo cage.

But the Baoxiang rat was hiding in the corner, swishing and trembling.

Are you afraid of me?

Ye Cheng decided to leave the bamboo cage and practice the ape attack technique first.

When he came back from practice, the bowl of rice had not even been moved. Baoxiang Shu was still curled up in place, with a pair of golden eyes full of pity.

"Don't Baoxiang Shu like to eat?"

Ye Cheng thought to himself.

So he brought fresh meat, fruits, pastries, etc.
But one day passed, and the Baoxiang rat lay motionless without even moving.

Ye Cheng suspected that if this continued, he would starve to death in the end.

"Xiao Bai, I've been searching in the library for a long time, but I can't find out how to raise Baoxiang rats. And I've also asked the breeders at Bai Za Hall, but they don't know either."

Taoist priest Yu Zhen said, "If it doesn't work, don't keep it. Just take the sachet. Although the effect will be compromised, it will not be as good as the incense horn that grows."

Ye Cheng rested his chin on his hands, like a thinker, looking at the Baoxiang rat in the bamboo cage.

Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.

So he left the bamboo house and ran towards the bamboo forest.

Seeing this scene, Taoist Priest Yu Zhen was a little curious, what was Xiaobai doing?

Ye Cheng has arrived at the trap location where Baoxiang Rat was caught previously.

He squatted down and carefully identified the traces of Baoxiang rat activity.

Although he had no tracking experience, he was a white ape and was naturally very sensitive to scent traces. He gradually found some of the movement paths of Baoxiang Rat.

Some are more obvious, while others are less obvious.

There are those from a long time ago, and there are also those in the recent past.

Not sure how much time had passed, Ye Cheng saw some signs of being eaten in a ditch on the edge of a bamboo forest more than 400 meters away from the cave.

"Is this Bamboo Plant?"

Ye Cheng identified it carefully.

One of the more common herbal medicines in the world.

The reason why he knew him was naturally because Taoist priest Yu Zhen told him when he was teaching him how to read and argue.

"Is this bamboo plant the food of Baoxiang rat?"

Ye Cheng analyzed in his heart.

It's just that there aren't many traces of gnawing, and there is a large one here.

After another half an hour, Ye Cheng found another mark that had been gnawed by the Baoxiang rat, but it was a different kind of grass.

In the next period of time, he found several types of grass or roots that had been eaten, and they were distributed as far as 700 meters away.

In order to find these traces, Ye Cheng almost conducted a carpet search.

It was not until evening that Ye Cheng returned to the bamboo house.

Taoist priest Yu Zhen has already prepared dinner.

"Xiao Bai, you're back. Why did you bring these herbs?"

When she saw Ye Cheng holding a large handful of herbs, she couldn't help but asked curiously.

Ye Cheng threw the herbs to the ground, shouted a few words, and gestured with his hands.

Then he put the herbs he had brought back into the bamboo cage.

The Baoxiang rat seemed to move and sniff, but then glanced at Ye Cheng warily, seeming a little scared.

"Eat first, or the food will be cold."

Taoist priest Yu Zhen reminded.

Ye Cheng was already a little hungry, so he followed Yu Zhendao into the house. After finishing his meal in a hurry, he returned to the bamboo cage where the Baoxiang rat was kept.

Baoxiang Rat, who was eating herbs, was frightened and shrank into the corner again.Ye Cheng smiled.

Finally I know what the Baoxiang rat eats.

After raising them for a period of time, Ye Cheng discovered that the Baoxiang rat's food was all herbs, but it ate too much. It only ate a little bit of everything, as if it was a taste, and then stopped eating.

Moreover, it only eats the freshest.

It didn't even look at the herbs that had been left out overnight.

"This little guy's mouth is pretty good, isn't it?"

Ye Cheng was deeply moved.

As a result, he had to collect various herbs every day to feed Baoxiang Rat.

Although it is not a tiring job, it is troublesome.

Every day.

He felt like he had raised an ancestor.

If he didn't want to raise this Baoxiang rat and then harvest the horns and make some preparations for the breakthrough of artistic conception in the future, he really wanted to roast the Baoxiang rat and eat it.

It should be very fragrant.

a few days later.

Taoist priest Yu Zhen suddenly told Ye Cheng that he would temporarily leave Chongyang Temple for a while.

Taoist priest Yu Zhen didn't say what to do specifically.

Ye Cheng couldn't help but become a little worried.

The last time Yu Zhendaozhang went out for half a month, he lost an arm.

During the time that Taoist Master Yu Zhen was away, Ye Cheng became bored and his practice was no longer exciting.

Fortunately, Taoist priest Yu Zhen's absence was not too long and he came back after more than half a month.

After Ye Cheng's curious inquiry, Taoist Priest Yu Zhen revealed the reason for going out this time.

It turns out that after becoming a Taoist master, you have to go on a Taoist mission every year.

The task of guarding the road is mainly to eliminate certain potential dangers and protect the safety of the people of the area.

As a major martial arts sect, Chongyang Guan possesses strong force and naturally wants to protect one side.

This time Taoist Master Yu Zhen participated in the Taoist mission, and he did not go alone. There were many Taoist masters from the Chongyang Temple, so the safety factor would be much greater.

"What potential danger?"

Ye Cheng came out of the bamboo house with a piece of paper in his hand and a question written on it.

Priest Yu Zhen lay on the chair and couldn't help but smile. This little white boy was really curious.

This kind of curiosity has gradually left the category of white apes.

However, no matter what outrageous thing happens to Xiaobai, she will not find it strange.

Because she is used to Xiaobai's specialness.

"There are many potential dangers, such as mountain bandits and horse thieves. This time we went out to wipe out a horse bandit's lair, Xiaobai. You should be able to understand the mountain bandits and horse thieves. I remember explaining it to you before."

Taoist priest Yu Zhen picked up a handful of melon seeds and started talking while cracking them.

Ye Cheng nodded quickly.

"These mountain bandits and horse thieves are just the most common source of risk, and the danger is not high. In addition, the whole world is not peaceful because of the rebel army. It is said that the imperial court has gradually lost control over the local states. Rebellions occur frequently. If you encounter the rebel army , that would be dangerous, even if my view of the Double Ninth Festival is attacked, it will have a great impact."

Taoist Priest Yu Zhen continued, "However, compared with the real danger, this is nothing."

Her tone gradually became serious.

"Actually, the biggest risk in the world comes from monsters."

She seemed to have thought of something, and there was a coldness in her eyes.

"Weird? What is strange?"

Ye Cheng quickly wrote out the words in a hurry.

"A source that is invisible, intangible, incomprehensible, very mysterious, and very dangerous. Once it appears, it will definitely cause a bloody storm and horrific death."

Taoist Priest Yu Zhen looked at the words written by Xiao Bai, paused for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

Even if Ye Cheng had human consciousness, he still listened in a daze.

Isn't this a simple world of martial arts?
Why has the style of painting changed a bit?
