In ancient times, he became a god in the mountains.

The rat demon became more and more excited as he spoke.

He lost his previous humility and started cursing at the false god.

"And you, you false god, what's the difference between you and me? You deceived mortals into worshipping you. Is it really out of kindness? I eat human souls to cultivate and live forever, but you don't do it for cultivation? Do you dare to swear to heaven?"

"I don't accept it! I don't accept it!"

The rat demon's broken tendons caused his evil spirit to leak out, and he roared towards the sky.

"Why is it that mortals can eat my offspring without any sin, but I am guilty of committing a great sin by eating their offspring? It was clearly they who ate my offspring first."

"A year ago, that hypocrite Luo Yousong led the mortals of Yunwu Town to burn to death so many of my descendants. Why didn't they get punished? I just gave him a taste of his own medicine. What qualifications do you have to kill me?!"

Gu Yuexi said, "Huowa, go and bring Luo Yousong here. I will make sure he dies knowingly today."

"Yes."

The fire baby turned into a beam of fire and flew away.

Luo Yousong was taking his few servants to pack up the offerings for the worship on the mountain a few days ago.

"Be careful, don't damage them. These peaches were brought by my brother from Jiangnan." He ordered in a trembling voice.

"Master, it's done. The chickens and ducks are ready. I don't know whether the queen will eat them cooked or alive. I heard that the gods eat bled chickens and ducks."

Luo Yousong said: "Prepare a few both cooked and alive."

Looking at the generous offerings, he smiled with relief: "Fortunately, I have a brother who is a merchant from north to south, so my family has enough food and clothing. Otherwise, in this year of disaster, not only would we not be able to help the people in the town, but even our own people would have starved to death."

He sighed, "Although there are no famine victims in Jiangnan, my brother told me that floods often occur in the south. Moreover, Your Majesty has sent troops to Baiyue, so the people in the south are not having a good time either."

Today's Daxia has lost its former prosperity and stability, the glory of the world coming to celebrate. Wars, droughts, floods...

He shook his head: "When will this hard time end?"

People’s lives are hard.

"Luo Yousong!"

A child's voice was heard, and Luo Yousong looked and saw the fairy boy standing in front of him.

How could the fairy boy go and come back? Could it be that there is a monster in the house? Luo Yousong's face turned pale.

"Hello, little commoner." He bowed hastily.

Huo Wa helped him up: "Our queen has summoned us. It's about the rat demon. Please go."

It’s good that he is not here to exorcise monsters, because this proves that there are no monsters in his house.

As for the Empress summoning him, Luo Yousong didn't even think about it: "I will prepare the horse right away."

"No need to bother."

Huowa grabbed his hand and disappeared in an instant.

His eyes were blurry for a while, and when Luo Yousong opened them again, he suddenly saw lush greenery and vitality everywhere. The trees and flowers were swaying in the wind. Was this a fairyland?

Suddenly, he looked up and was even more shocked.

A palace in the sky surrounded by clouds, mist and plants.

This is where the goddess of gods lives.

"what!"

There were screams in my ears.

Looking forward, Luo Yousong's legs went limp and he fell to the ground, his face full of fear. He pointed ahead and said, "Rat demon...why isn't he dead yet?"

"Luo Yousong."

The vague and soft voice appeared all around as before.

Luo Yousong quickly knelt down and said, "Golden Saint Goddess, I wonder what important matter you want me to come for?"

"The rat demon said you ate his offspring?"

Gu Yuexi told Luo Yousong about the rat demon's reluctance.

She asked, "Did you lead the people of Cloud Town to eat his descendants?"

"This..." Luo Yousong felt a little ashamed: "My lady, this is indeed the case."

He didn't hide it.

But the truth is...

A year ago, it was the third year of the severe drought.

The people’s food stores were exhausted and they were starving. The town was littered with starving people and people were eating each other.

Mr. Luo was a well-known philanthropist. Before the drought, he was a well-known wealthy family in Qinyang County, with thousands of acres of fertile land at home.

My younger brother travels north and south as a trader, and there are mountains of goods piled up in various parts of our home.

My mother was the late emperor’s wet nurse and was supported by the government.

The Luo family has accumulated countless wealth.

The Luo family is dedicated to doing good.

Seeing the suffering of the people, Luo Yousong opened the granaries and released grain without hesitation.

Each family received enough food to sustain their family for three months, including dried fruits brought by the second master of the Luo family from the Western Regions.

But the day after everyone received the food, a rat plague broke out in the town. Thousands and thousands of rats roamed the streets and alleys, stealing food from people's homes. In one night, more than ten kilograms of food disappeared from every household.

The people were suffering terribly and had no choice but to turn to Luo Yousong.

Luo Yousong assembled a rat-catching team.

The mice were driven to the barren hills outside Yunwu Town.

Luo Yousong did not kill them all.

But the peace lasted less than a month before rat plague broke out again.

He had no choice but to have his men take torches and drive the rats to a place to burn them to death, and then let the people take the roasted rats from the ashes to eat. Unexpectedly, the group of people who ate the rats died on the spot.

People from the entire Yunwu Town and nearby villages participated in this matter.

A month ago, children began to go missing from villagers' homes. To date, dozens of children have gone missing in the town. If Gu Yuexi had not intervened, all these children would have become food for the rat demon.

The rat demon's lies were easily exposed.

The people did not actively catch rats to eat, it was the rats that stole the people's food. The rats in the plague were highly poisonous, and the people only ate rats once.

"Why do you believe that what he said is true?" The rat demon still didn't give up.

Suddenly, his sea of ​​consciousness churned.

"what!"

Gu Yuexi used soul-searching techniques to thoroughly understand the cause and effect of the matter.

Her voice was as sharp as an arrow: "Not only do you eat human souls, but you also steal other people's merits, Rat Demon. I saw everything in your memory."

"Soul Searching Technique!"

The rat demon was horrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

Ancient books say that the art of soul-searching is only practiced by the legendary ancient great demons.

Could she be an ancient demon?

Gu Yuexi didn't waste any more time with him. She used her spiritual power to smash his body, and the rat demon turned into fragments and dissipated in the air.

Only a seven hundred year old demon pill and a ball of golden light of merit were left.

She accepted the demon pill.

The merits and golden light will return to the original owner.

"Luo Yousong, you have done great deeds in helping the victims of the disaster. You will definitely have great fortune in the future." She put the golden light of merit into Luo Yousong's body.

Luo Yousong suddenly felt that his body was regaining strength rapidly and his mind was clear.

Gu Yuexi said: "This is the power of merit stolen by the rat demon. I will return it to its original owner. Huowa, send Luo Yousong back."

After seeing the rat demon turn into pieces and disappear with his own eyes, Luo Yousong kowtowed in fear and was sent back by Huowa the same way.

"The seven hundred year old demon pill can just restore all the vitality of Qihuang Mountain. The villagers don't have to go back and forth for two or three hours to the mountain to dig wild vegetables." Gu Yuexi refined the demon power, and the seven hundred years of practice of the rat demon turned into vast spiritual power, which she placed in every corner of Qihuang Mountain, and the grass and trees revived instantly.

The villagers were just about to go down the mountain and return to the village.

"Look!"

Master Zhou San looked around with wide eyes and exclaimed in surprise.

I saw the originally dry and cracked land began to become moist and soft, and slowly, flowers and plants grew out of it, emitting faint fragrance.

The dead tree broke into pieces with a snap.

The dark grey ashes were absorbed by the soft soil, and the trees grew taller and taller, quickly becoming ten-year-old trees with their crowns spreading out on both sides.

What a miracle!

"This... this, this is the goddess appearing..."

Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't even finish their sentences.

Zhang Gousheng shouted: "The grass and trees on Qihuang Mountain have grown!"

"Oh, I saw some wild vegetables. We don't have to go up the mountain to dig them up. We can eat them right at our doorstep." Gou Sheng's mother clasped her hands together and shouted excitedly, "The Queen is so merciful!"

Someone is running in the mountains.

"Village chief! Great news! Water has appeared in the rivers below the mountain. Hahahaha..."

"It's all the Queen's gift!"
