Chapter 41: Catching Butterflies
Xiao Yu arched his body and tiptoed to a tree, looking in the direction pointed by the mountain god. Sure enough, he saw a butterfly the size of a palm lying on a tree trunk. Because it was dark, Xiao Yu couldn't see very clearly, and could only see a blurry outline.
"That's what you are talking about as Caidie, so small?" Xiao Yu said in a low voice.
"Master, this colorful butterfly is not small. I just sensed her tonight and have been here with me. I don't know what this guy is going to do! But at night, the villagers sprinkled medicine under the tree. The colorful butterfly was probably poisoned and lying there and never flew away."
The mountain god mouse lay on Xiao Yu's shoulder and kept waving his little claws and said.
Xiao Yu nodded and looked at the colorful butterfly and said, "You are the mountain god, it should be very easy to catch her, right?"
As one of the five great immortals among the people, Rat would not have some means, so how could he rank him up? Moreover, Xiao Yu had never seen him before. The mountain god had any means, so he wanted to open his eyes.
When the mouse heard this, his little eyes turned around and then said, "Although it's easy for me to catch her, I am a mountain god. As soon as I get close to it, it will sense my breath. If you run away, don't blame me."
After saying that, the mouse was about to jump off Xiao Yu's shoulder, but suddenly it was caught by Xiao Yu.
"Forget it, you'd better hide. I'll do it myself. I'm a commoner and she won't be on guard against me."
"Well, this is not bad, but you have to be careful. Although this thing is not very good at cultivation, it is afraid it will be poisonous," the mouse reminded.
Xiao Yu nodded, stood up immediately, then pretended to be casual, and walked towards Caidian. Sure enough, just as Xiao Yu took a few steps, Caidian's wings that had originally been put together slowly spread out, making a posture to fly away! But at this moment, Xiao Yu hurriedly stood under a tree, picked two apples, and hurriedly put them in his pocket, and then took two more steps forward.
The butterfly seemed to feel that Xiao Yu was an apple-stealing thief. The originally spread wings closed again and lay on the trunk. Then the wings that were originally a little white gradually changed color, and finally turned into the color of the trunk. From a distance, they would not find the other party's existence at all.
After picking six or seven apples in a row, Xiao Yu's pocket was filled with it. Then he stood under the tree where the colorful butterflies were living. The fruit trees were often pruned, so they were not very tall, but they were taller than adults. The location where the colorful butterflies lived was at the bottom of the tree, so even Xiao Yu, who was not tall, could still catch them.
Standing under the tree, although Xiao Yu seemed to be looking for an apple, his eyes always pay attention to where the colorful butterflies live. Just as Xiao Yu approached the trunk, the colorful butterflies' wings moved, but did not fly away.
"Success or failure is here, but if you want to use both hands, you may not be able to grasp it?" Xiao Yu said in his heart.
Then Xiao Yu turned around under the tree. Although he raised his head, he was actually looking for the best position to catch the colorful butterfly. The colorful butterfly has wings and can fly away directly, but he only had this opportunity. If he failed and wanted to catch the butterfly, he would probably have no chance.
The mountain god rat hidden in the distance stood up, looking at Xiao Yu who was getting closer, and then ran out in a flash. However, the place where the rat ran was in another direction of Xiao Yu.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yu finally found a more convenient position. He took off his T-shirt and was shirtless. At this moment, Xiao Yu suddenly opened the T-shirt in his hand and directly covered the Colorful Butterfly. Because the distance was close, even if Cai Die reacted, it was too late and could only be covered by clothes and then landed on the ground.
"Haha, it's successful." Seeing Caidie being covered, Xiao Yu was immediately overjoyed. He rushed forward and hugged his clothes into a ball. Hearing the sound of Caidie flapping his wings from time to time, Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel proud.
"Hmph, what about the King of Insects? That's all I can do? Isn't it being caught by this Taoist priest?" Xiao Yu curled his lips.
After staring at the T-shirt in his arms for a long time, seeing that Caidie was silent, Xiao Yu immediately shouted, "Rat, I won't come out, I'll leave."
After saying that, Xiao Yu had just walked two steps forward, but at this moment, he suddenly felt dizzy in his head, and then his eyes blurred, and he fell to the ground. The clothes in his arms also fell to the ground, and the sound of colorful butterflies flapping their wings came from the clothes again.
"Monster, how dare you hurt people with butterfly powder? Let's see if I don't deal with you." A sudden shout came from the orchard, and then the trees in the orchard began to move quickly, as if they had grown feet.
Rows of fruit trees quickly leaned together like a wall. Then the leaves of the fruit trees began to fall off continuously, turning into a green cover, falling directly from the tree, covering Xiao Yu's clothes.
At this time, the mountain god rat jumped off a tree. The rat jumped to the edge of Xiao Yu's head, raised his butt, and its long tail hit Xiao Yu's face like a whip.
But just as the mouse's tail was about to hit Xiao Yu's face, a branch around suddenly floated up, and then slapped at the mouse with a thud. The mouse seemed to have reacted a long time ago, and jumped to the side the moment the branch arrived, and the branch directly sucked on Xiao Yu, causing the unconscious Xiao Yu to wake up.
"Who hit me, who?" Xiao Yu turned over and sat up, looked at the branches floating in the air, and was stunned at first, then he understood.
"Xiaoqiang, where is that butterfly, have you seen it?" Xiao Yu said to the branch floating in the air.
"Haha, I'm so laughing. This little devil is not very capable, but he's still very sincere." The mouse held his stomach and curled up on a tree and laughed.
At this time, the little ghost also appeared. He held a branch in his hand and looked at the mouse angrily, "Die mouse, dare you tease me?"
"So what if you tease you? You can't beat me!" The mouse stood up, turned over and jumped from the tree, muttered to the rows of fruit trees, and then shouted "Return to your place".
As soon as the words fell, the fruit trees began to separate to all sides like obedient guards, and then returned to their original positions, as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Yu's eyes stared at the mouse in shock and said, "My God, you are so amazing, can you actually make the tree come alive?"
Seeing Xiao Yu's face full of envy, the mouse couldn't help but raise his head and said, "Of course, driving plants, this is the ability of the mountain god to eat."
"Hmph, what's so great about it? Can't you just command trees and stones?" the little ghost said dissatisfiedly.
The little ghost has been following Xiao Yu. He originally thought that the mountain god could not find him, but he did not expect that the mountain god had always known his existence. He was just now put on a trick by the mountain god, so of course he was a little unhappy.
This mountain god has the ability to drive plants and trees, and as long as it is a ghost, he knows it! If it were in the past, the little ghost might have been afraid of the mountain god, but now that he has followed Xiao Yu, he will naturally be bound by the underworld, so with Xiao Yu as his backer, he naturally doesn't have to be afraid.
