Xia Qiu Xi and Mo Ting looked at the rat lady with surprise when I spoke.
I went forward and said to my master:
"Master, it's the lady from the Rose Supermarket!"
My master nodded slightly, indicating he knew her.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me to buy Yin Mi and eggs here.
"Yes, I just didn't expect Sister Rat and the Bottomless Pit to have a connection..."
My master said this.
My martial uncle beside him also nodded, clearly knowing the Rose Supermarket in Nanshan Cemetery and the old woman who kept rats.
Only Yun Xia Gu was somewhat surprised:
"Brother Gu, Brother Tang, you know each other?"
My master nodded slightly:
"We've interacted a few times. I know she deals in Yin affairs and does business with ghosts here.
As for her background, we're not sure."
"It seems now that Sister Rat is the representative of this Bottomless Pit,"
my martial uncle added.
Yun Xia Gu said "Oh" and stopped talking.
My master and martial uncle stood still, watching the approaching rat lady.
After a short while, the rat lady walked over.
As soon as she got close, she put down the large rat in her arms and said with a smile:
"Son, don't run around!"
The large rat in her arms rubbed against her leg.
Then it lay down at her feet.
This large rat had helped me and Old Mo before.
We both smiled at it...
The large rat squeaked "squeak squeak" at us as if greeting us.
At the same time, the rat lady smiled and looked at our group:
"Heh heh heh! So many familiar faces.
It's Daoist Friend Gu and Daoist Friend Tang.
I presume this is the Daoist Yun Xia of the Qingcheng Sect?"
Hearing this,
my master and the others clasped their fists.
My master and martial uncle spoke in unison:
"Sister Rat!"
Yun Xia Gu also said:
"Yes, I am Yun Xia of the Qingcheng Sect."
The rat lady chuckled a few times, but then her smile faded, and she said:
"Since there are familiar faces, I won't be polite.
Let's get straight to business!
I am Shu Guifang, from the Hui family of the Bottomless Pit in Black Mud Ridge.
Today, I am here on behalf of my Old Immortal, the Mother of the Bottomless Pit, to handle the matters of the sin rats from our Hui family of the Bottomless Pit."
The rat lady spoke directly, and it was the first time I learned her name.
After speaking, Granny Shu Guifang took out a gray wooden牌 from her hand.
The wooden牌 had a rat imprint on it.
As soon as it was revealed, a phantom of a rat appeared on the gray wooden牌.
This wooden牌 was probably similar to the waist tags issued by various sects, used to prove one's identity.
Seeing this, Yun Xia Gu also spoke:
"Daoist Guifang, I have reported the entire story and the current pictures.
I believe you have been notified, so I won't say more.
Now I will hand over this sin rat to you. I believe your Bottomless Pit will handle it impartially."
With that, Yun Xia Gu directly pulled down the black cloth covering the cage she was holding.
Revealing the trapped rat demon inside.
She also removed the talisman on it.
Granny Shu Guifang said nothing, her expression calm.
The moment the talisman was removed,
the rat demon in the cage shot out.
At the same time, it transformed into human form.
With a wronged expression and a face full of scars, it said:
"Gui, Guifang, you, you still recognize me, right?
Hui Thirty-Two.
When you first came to the Bottomless Pit on your first mission, I was the one who opened the incense path for you at the entrance.
I didn't expect it to be you who came to pick me up.
By the way, I, I was framed.
This is a misunderstanding.
I was just passing through Xiao Han Mountain and have absolutely no connection with the Underworld Cult.
And, and the matter in Hanshan Town, that was just an accident..."
The rat demon began to quibble.
As it spoke, the cage was opened.
Granny Shu Guifang looked at it with a sinking expression:
"Hmph!
You've ruined the reputation of the Old Mother.
Whether it was an accident or intentional,
now, you can tell it to the Old Mother yourself..."
"Ah? This matter, I think it's better not to bother the Old Mother, right? Can I tell my elder brother instead?"
The rat demon looked nervous and begged.
But Granny Shu Guifang was indifferent:
"There's no chance. The Old Mother has already personally inquired."
After speaking, Granny Shu Guifang clasped her hands together, forming a sword finger.
She mumbled a few words.
Finally, she roared:
"Welcome, Old Mother!"
As soon as she finished speaking, all the rats around them prostrated themselves.
Even Granny Shu Guifang's rat son prostrated himself on the ground, with his head bowed.
Granny Shu Guifang trembled all over, her eyes closing directly.
The rat demon's expression changed drastically, its face turned pale.
Immediately, I felt a very strong energy suddenly surge from outside.
It directly entered Granny Shu Guifang's body from the crown of her head.
Seeing this, my martial uncle, who stood in front of us three juniors, widened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise:
"Rolling aperture..."
I had seen the term "rolling aperture" in books at the shop.
It was a term used by disciples of the Chu Ma sect to summon immortal spirits to possess them.
The current "rolling aperture" indicated that an immortal spirit had possessed Granny Shu Guifang.
Granny Shu Guifang trembled violently a few times, then opened her eyes.
Her aura changed dramatically, and an inexplicable pressure emanated from her.
Her human eyes also changed.
They turned into the eyes of a rat, glowing in the darkness.
And even her facial features seemed to twist slightly.
Becoming pointed, like a rat.
Mo Ting and I watched in surprise.
However, it was not appropriate to ask questions at this moment, so we watched silently.
As Granny Shu Guifang opened her eyes again,
the surrounding rats that were prostrating on the ground suddenly began to squeak "squeak squeak."
Their heads were bowed, but their whiskers were all pointing upwards.
As if in a bow.
The rat demon standing before us, Hui Thirty-Two, trembled all over, its face full of terror.
It knelt before Granny Shu Guifang and kowtowed, hitting its head on the ground.
With a "clang,"
it broke open, and shouted loudly:
"Welcome, welcome, Old Mother..."
