Xiao Yu stood at the door of Qingzhuguan, stretched his head and looked inside, but it seemed that there was no one there.

"What's the situation? Have you all gone to catch bamboo rats? Why aren't there anyone?"

Xiao Yu was talking when a Taoist suddenly rushed out of the bamboo forest behind him. The other party was carrying a bundle of firewood on his back and a sickle in his hand, looking a little excited.

"You are... looking for the owner. He is not here. I guess he will not come back tomorrow. You can tell me if you have something to do."

The Taoist is very young, about the same age as Xiao Yu. As for his cultivation, let alone, he is just an ordinary disciple with no magic power fluctuations.

After the other party finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and ran quickly into the Taoist temple, while shouting:

"Senior brother, come out soon. I saw a big bamboo rat, probably all of which became energetic. We quickly went to catch it and took advantage of the absence of the audience and stewed it in a pot."

Squeak...

It seemed like the sound of the door being opened, and then another noisy sound came out.

"It's true. Last time you said there was, but I didn't see it even after I went there. Could it be fake again this time, right?"

Several Taoists started talking excitedly inside, and Xiao Yu couldn't help but wonder if Qingyunguan had been wrong.

However, when it comes to catching bamboo rats, Xiao Yu also became interested, so he planned to follow and take a look.

So before the other party came out, he took out an invisible talisman and stuck it on himself, then stood in the bamboo forest, waiting for several people to come out.

Eating meat is something that some young Taoists like to do. The older the Taoist is, the more they will be able to abide by the rules.

Maoshan could eat meat and fish, but Xiao Yu believed that the Taoist sect was originally a pure place and could not be used to kill evil, so he was not allowed to eat meat and fish in the mountains, but disciples could still eat it when they went out.

After a while, a few disciples ran out of the Taoist temple. They first looked around with ghost heads and minds, and then began to run behind the bamboo forest.

The disciple who had talked to Xiao Yu before ran and looked around, as if he was wondering where Xiao Yu had gone.

Because there is only one way down the mountain, and you can see clearly when standing at the entrance of the Taoist temple.

But now there is no one on the mountain road, as if the scene that happened just now is an illusion.

The other party just looked at it and didn't think much about it. A few people rushed towards the bamboo forest behind.

Xiao Yu followed the few people, and it felt quite interesting, as if he was back in the winter when he was a child when he was catching rabbits.

But now I have a different identity. If I want to do what I did back then, I will probably be laughed at by others.

So at the age, you must do what you have to do, not just that you want to, but that you must do it. This is responsibility.

The bamboo forest behind Qingzhu Temple is even denser, and the bamboos are very large, as if they have not been cut down for many years.

Perhaps it is because the Taoist temple is well protected and no one is allowed to cut down and retain its original state, so it becomes like this.

It is May of the Gregorian calendar, and the time for picking bamboo shoots has passed, so many bamboo shoots with large bowls grow very tall, and a layer of bamboo shoot leaves fall on the ground, which can be used to make rice dumplings.

Most of the disciples of Guantian Pavilion use bamboo to make artifacts, which may be why the bamboo forest is protected.

After walking about two kilometers, several disciples of Qingzhu Temple began to arch their waists, holding a long stick in their hands, as if they were preparing to attack.

Xiao Yu continued to walk forward, but he wanted to see what it was.

The bamboo here is lush than other places, with larger leaves, and there are a lot of bird feces on the ground, and there are more stones, so many bamboo roots are exposed outside.

Some bamboos have holes the size of fists at the roots and are widely distributed.

There are some artificial traps between those caves, which should be made by those Taoist disciples.

Xiao Yu stood there and looked for a while, then closed his eyes. When he opened it again, one of his eyes had turned golden.

Then he looked at the cycle and found some clues at this time.

Because after his eyes turned golden, he could easily see the white spots of light floating around in the sky, and the roots of a pile of lush bamboo shoots made the inspiration even thicker.

"This is spiritual energy, there is not as rich as the Maoshan Mountains here!"

Xiao Yu thought to himself, and then walked forward again, but the disciples of Taoist temples behind began to run in another direction.

"If you see it, you're in the biggest hole."

The faint voice, as thin as a gossip, made him follow him curiously.

A few dozen meters away, there was a cave that looked like a wild boar cave, which appeared under a small hillside, and a faint white light appeared from time to time.

Of course, this kind of white light cannot be seen by ordinary people.

But Xiao Yu could see that there should be spiritual bodies in this cave.

Or, the bamboo rat that Taoist said should be the little demon.

Several Taoists tiptoed forward, spread a large net on the ground, and then used slender steel wire to make a trap. Then they began to turn to the back of the cave, found another back hole, blocked the hole with stones, and then started to make a fire.

Xiao Yu looked at all this, but did not intervene in the past.

However, how can an ordinary Taoist priest be the opponent of a bamboo rat that has become a spirit body?

So after a while, the Taoist smoked somewhere, there was still nothing out, and they were exhausted.

And at this moment, a black light appeared above the cave, and then a man holding a black umbrella condensed.

The other party took out a list, outlined it with a pen, and then took a cloth bag in his hand. More than a dozen little ghosts fell from it and disappeared directly into the hole.

The ghost messenger didn't even look at the Taoist priests below and then left directly.

"The ghost messenger is here to send his soul, it seems..."

Xiao Yu now understood that Taoist said that a big bamboo rat should be a bamboo rat that is about to be born, so it looks bigger than usual rats.

A dozen little ghosts fell down, and the cave was still shining with white light. Then, the white light suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared.

A squeak sound came from the cave, and then a rustling sound was heard.

Xiao Yu wrapped his hands around his chest and stood there and looked carefully. In less than half a minute, a mouse poked his head out of the hole.

The other party first sniffed at the entrance of the cave, as if he was very alert, and then retreated.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow flashed out. It was the newly born bamboo rat. The other party was a little demon. He probably knew that the entrance of the cave was dangerous, so he wanted to jump over directly.

But he still underestimated the Taoist trap. The bamboo rat jumped up and touched something. The big net suddenly bounced up from inside, wrapped the bamboo rat inside, and then landed on the ground with a rumbling sound.

At this time, Xiao Yu saw that the bamboo rat had a length of about one meter. This was indeed not small among the rats, but compared with other monsters, it was too small!

On the back of the big bamboo rat, there were thirteen newborn bamboo rats, whose eyes were not open yet.
