Chapter 289 Inverted Waterfall, Goodbye Zero!

"Your Excellency is right. The senior didn't ask me for any reward. He repaired it for me for free."

"That senior is a good man. I owe him a huge favor."

Old Ten said quietly.

"wrong."

"We all owe him a favor."

The majestic man said seriously.

"I'll give you a year's vacation." After saying that, he left in a hurry.

After the leader left, Lao Shi suddenly felt that the pickled vegetables and tofu in the pot were not as fragrant as before.

After all, there is a big difference between slacking off and taking a vacation.

He likes the feeling of taking a break from his busy schedule and slacking off. Now that he has a real holiday, he feels uncomfortable.

That night, Su Mu, who was meditating, discovered some movement on the river.

He stood up and walked to the river. Looking up, he saw a wooden boat parked on the river. It looked familiar.

I walked towards the wooden boat, and when I got closer, I found a figure sitting at the bow of the boat, holding a fishing rod in his hand, fishing.

At this time, many fireflies flew over the river. With the faint light of the fireflies, the figure's face could be seen clearly.

He was an old man dressed in cloth, wearing a bamboo hat and had gray hair.

After seeing Su Mu coming, the old man put down the fishing rod in his hand, took off the bamboo hat on his head, clasped his fists towards Su Mu and said: "Daoyou, long time no see."

Su Mu knew the old man in plain clothes. He had met this old man a few years ago.

He still remembered that after helping him, he gave him a fishing rod and a stone ring.

These two treasures helped Su Mu a lot, so he was deeply impressed. His name is also unique, with only one word - "Zero".

"So it's Fellow Daoist Zero."

"Come here to fish late at night?"

Su Mu asked with a smile.

"Not entirely. I just happened to pass by and came to see you, fellow Taoist." Old Man Ling said with a smile.

"It seems that you have had a good life these years, you are getting younger and younger."

Su Mu discovered that this old man looked much more energetic than the last time he saw him.

At that time, he could not even speak clearly and walked with a stagger.

But it’s different now. Although his appearance hasn’t changed much, his spirit is much better, and he speaks with more energy.

"It's also thanks to the help of fellow Taoist."

"I came here this time because I have something to remind you, fellow Taoist."

Old Man Ling's expression also became serious.

"What's the matter?" Su Mu frowned.

"When you are guarding the river, you must be more careful and cautious."

Old man Ling spoke word by word.

"What you mean is that someone is targeting me?"

Because of the last incident, Su Mu had a great impact. An unknown enemy came out of nowhere and tried every means to kill him right from the start.

But he didn't know the man at all, so Su Mu also felt as if someone was targeting him.

Could it be that while guarding the river and collecting crossing fees over the years, I accidentally offended some big shots?

Hearing this, Old Man Ling nodded and said, "Daoyou, you must be careful."

After that, Su Mu replied: "Thank you for the reminder."

"Come ashore for a cup of tea?"

"No, I have something to do and need to hurry back. I won't disturb your rest." The old man waved his hand.

"See you later." After saying that, the old man rowed the boat and hurriedly left the place, seeming to be in a hurry.

That night, Su Mu did not sleep or practice.

I have been recalling and thinking about all the people I have met over the years, and wondering who I have offended.

Until dawn, Su Mu still couldn't figure it out.

I stood up, stretched, and decided not to dwell on this matter anymore.

He just needs to be more careful. He doesn't cause trouble, but he is definitely not afraid of trouble. Next time he encounters such a situation that wants to kill him, he will definitely cut the weeds completely.

There was an accident last time and the man was rescued by someone.

"You don't have to follow me during this time."

Before going out on patrol, he thought of what the old man said yesterday and decided not to let the little fox follow him on patrol.

If you really encounter any dangerous situation, it is easier to escape alone.

Hearing this, the little fox nodded resentfully, and then watched Su Mu leave.

When Su Mu went out on patrol, if the little fox did not follow him, it would lie at the door and wait quietly for Su Mu to come back.

It’s strange to say, the little fox has been in the house for such a long time, but it still can’t play with Nannan. It always sticks to me and follows me.

As he walked, Su Mu patrolled all the way to a completely new water area.

In order to earn more favor points, Su Mu has to patrol waters he has never been to. The situations he encounters will become more numerous and complex, and after dealing with them, he will get more favor points.

At this time, Su Mu came to the confluence of a tributary.

He found that the three tributaries extending from this intersection had still water, which was very strange.

Su Mu walked along one of the tributaries.

After walking for about an hour, he found two other tributaries that ran parallel to this tributary.

That is, the three tributaries present three straight parallel lines, flowing in the same direction.

Su Mu quickened his pace.

Half an hour later, the sound of gurgling water came from the front, similar to the sound of waterfall water hitting bluestone.

Su Mu followed the sound.

When he saw the scene in front of him, he was also stunned.

At the end of the three tributaries, there is a cliff.

This cliff is one thousand meters wide and one hundred meters high.

The water from the three tributaries flowed upward along the cliff.

This sense of déjà vu is like an upside-down waterfall.

Because in a normal waterfall, the water flows from top to bottom, but in this waterfall, the water flows from bottom to top in the opposite direction, which completely violates the natural phenomenon.

This also aroused Su Mu's curiosity.

After approaching the upside-down waterfall, Su Mu stretched out his hand, and the moment he touched the waterfall water, he was stunned.

Because the speed of the water flow is very fast!

He raised his head and looked above the waterfall.

Su Mu waved his hand and stopped the water flow directly, because it was not easy to climb up at such a high speed.

After stopping the water flow, Su Mu stepped on the waterfall and walked towards it step by step.

The strange thing is that the higher you go, the more obvious the heaviness under your feet becomes.

After walking only thirty meters, Su Mu's forehead began to sweat.

When he walked the last ten meters, his feet had become very heavy and every step was very strenuous.

There was only one last step left. Su Mu practiced his skills, took a deep breath, and jumped suddenly.

Arriving at the top of the waterfall, Su Mu steadied himself and looked forward.
