Chapter 401: The Southern Ghost Emperor, a Guest in the Underworld
"It seems like Nannan couldn't touch Daddy just now."
When Nannan got up in the morning, she found her father was still sleeping, so she took care of her own things first. She tidied up the house briefly, then trimmed the weeds in the yard and went to the backyard to water the vegetable garden. After cleaning up, she found her father was still sleeping.
Because in Nannan's memory, her father had never acted like this before. He usually got up and went out early in the morning before she woke up.
Nannan thought that daddy was tired, so she waited obediently by the side.
However, by noon, daddy still hadn't woken up. Nannan called him cautiously, but there was no response.
Then, she stretched out her little hand and touched Daddy's shoulder, and was shocked to find that her hand had passed through Daddy's body and could not touch him!
Although she could see her father sitting in front of her, he seemed to be an illusion. She could not hear him or touch him, which made her very anxious.
After hearing Nannan's description, Su Mu fell into deep thought.
Looking down at her fingers, she discovered that the ring mark on her middle finger had also changed, with a small black dot appearing.
It seems that this dream is different from the previous ones.
"Daddy is fine. Daddy was just practicing."
Su Mu stood up, rubbed Nannan's head, and said with a smile: "Daddy is going out, you go and play."
Hearing this, Nannan nodded obediently. She did not go out to play, but stayed under the willow tree, reading a book quietly.
Su Mu went out on patrol today and was absent-minded the whole day.
He kept thinking about the dream he had last night. Every detail and every picture in the dream kept flashing in his mind.
What level of treasure is this stone ring? The dream it created is so realistic that even Su Mu can't tell the difference.
Mutian Divine Alliance, Mutian Divine Alliance.
Su Mu kept repeating these words in his mind, and the sculpture that looked so similar to himself could not be shaken off his mind.
Plop——
He was thinking so intently that he staggered and almost fell into the puddle in front of him.
He quickly shook his head, took a deep breath, and cleared all distracting thoughts from his mind. There was no point in worrying about these things now. The most important thing was to refine the river as quickly as possible and leave here first.
Because he has been trapped here for so many years, he is basically cut off from the outside world and has no access to any news. He can only imagine and guess at many things.
As we walked, a stone bridge appeared in the water ahead.
Su Mu was very familiar with this stone bridge.
When I got closer, I found two figures standing on the stone bridge.
But, wrapped in black fog, his face couldn't be seen clearly.
Just as Su Mu was about to dispel the fog, the black fog automatically dissipated, and Su Mu could see the two people clearly.
Standing at the rear right was a skinny old man wearing a very simple black suit. Su Mu knew him. He had helped him repair bridges back then, so he was one of the few acquaintances he had.
Standing in the front is a middle-aged man who looks very energetic. He wears a purple-red egret hat, has a stern face, a dignified demeanor, thick eyebrows, and very serious dark circles under his eyes. He gives people a sense of awe without being angry. Judging from their positions, the man with very serious dark circles under his eyes should be the leader.
"Old Ten?" Su Mu ignored the man in front of him and shouted directly to the skinny old man behind him.
Because among the two of them, only the tenth one is familiar to him.
Hearing that his senior had called him, the Ten Kings of the Palace of Reincarnation were somewhat flattered. His vanity and face were greatly satisfied at this moment.
"I didn't expect that you still remembered me. I am really flattered."
The Rotating King clasped his fists and immediately changed the subject, introducing: "Senior, this is my boss."
Although his vanity was satisfied, he did not get carried away. Instead, Tiangang introduced his immediate superior as soon as possible.
"Senior Su, I have long heard of your name."
The man took off the eaves cap on his head and put it away. Then he clasped his hands together and introduced himself as "Du Ziren."
Hearing this, Su Mu nodded.
"You guys go ahead and do your work. I have something to do and I'm leaving first." Su Mu waved his hand and prepared to turn around and leave.
"Senior, please stay." Du Ziren called out to Su Mu.
"Senior, I came here today to invite you to come and sit with us."
After saying that, seeing Su Mu's puzzled expression, Du Ziren continued to add: "Because the senior has helped us so much, so. We specially invite the senior to the banquet."
Hearing this, Su Mu looked confused and said, "Isn't it just helping you repair a few broken stone bridges? It's not a big help, but I appreciate your kindness."
"Everything on the river is my responsibility."
Su Mu waved his hand to refuse.
After hearing this, Du Ziren was embarrassed and didn't know how to persuade him. Then he winked at the Wheel King, because it was also the first time he met this legendary Senior Su. He was not familiar with him at all and was a little restrained when speaking.
After receiving the order, the Rotation King was in tears. "Boss, you think too highly of me. I have only met Senior Su once. How can I give you such a great honor?" !
However, he still said with a brave face: "Senior, you have helped us a lot. If we don't repay you, we will also feel uneasy!"
"It's just a small favor, just a small favor, no need to thank me." Su Mu waved his hand.
Ever since the last flood, Su Mu had become very vigilant. He had only met the skinny old man once and could only say that he looked familiar, but he had no idea about his background.
What if this is another trap? Wouldn’t I be in trouble again?
It is a big taboo to go to someone's home without knowing the other party's background. Who knows if it is a Hongmen Banquet?
Seeing that they could not get an invitation, both of them became anxious.
This was something the Empress had instructed them to do personally. They would never dare to go back if they failed to complete it.
Seeing that Su Mu was about to leave, the Wheel King thought quickly and shouted, "Senior, to be honest, we have something to ask of you."
"Senior, do you still remember that you helped me build a stone bridge?"
"The largest main bridge in our family has collapsed. We are limited in our ability, so we would like to ask the seniors to take a look."
In fact, what King Lunzhuan said was true. A part of the main bridge at home did collapse, although the task given to them by the Queen was simply to invite Senior Su over.
But King Lunzhuan guessed that the Queen's purpose must be to ask Senior Su to help repair the "main bridge", right?
Otherwise, why invite seniors to your “home”?
Therefore, these words were a bold guess by the King of Rotation. Hearing what he said, Du Ziren on the side was also shocked. He did not expect that the King of Rotation would dare to say such an important thing.
