Chu Mu is good-looking, and he looks even better when he smiles.
Goatee felt a surge of heat in his stomach and cursed, "You devil! You can't live without a man for even a day, right? You're always seducing people."
He took a step towards Chu Mu: "Is Jie Ye unable to satisfy you? Do you want to try it with your brother tonight?"
Chu Mu moved to the side, revealing Jie Ye who was staring at him not far behind him.
"Damn it..." The man with the goatee stopped, "Just wait! I'm going to fuck you to death!"
Chu Mu watched him leave, his pupils sparkling under his long eyelashes.
[Old Eight, are there really water ghosts in this lake? ]
"Meow~~" (Yes, there are more than one. Look, there's a pointed stone tower near the center of the lake. It's used to suppress water ghosts.)
【Will I pass by here if I take a boat? 】
{The boatman is very experienced and will deliberately avoid it.}
[Then let him go there on purpose later.]
Wow, Mumu, you want to—
"Ahhh! Stop it! Stop it!"
The noise behind him interrupted Chu Mu's thoughts.
It was Jie who was beating up the guy with the goatee.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Jie Ye was tall and had long legs. No matter where Goatbeard ran, he could chase him and kick him until he screamed in pain.
"You dare to touch my people?"
"Oh, oh, I don't dare anymore. I really don't dare anymore..."
Chu Mu's mouth twitched: [This guy, does he think he's not hated enough? ]
Chu Mu looked at the crowd around him, and sure enough, most of them had obvious contempt on their faces.
[But it's also true that his character is that of a hot-tempered second-generation rich kid, which actually makes people relax their guard. His act of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger is similar to Xiao Baicai's.]
Chu Mu did not go over. He stood there and watched Old Lady Jie send someone to pull Jie away.
"I'm warning you one last time," Jie Ye said, like a savage bull. "If you dare to go after the little mute again, I'll kill you!"
Chu Mu looked at the person who came over angrily: [Your acting is quite sincere.]
Jie's movements faltered, and he turned around awkwardly and ran towards Lin Zhao.
This commotion actually made the rain heavier.
"Grandma Jie, it's not a good day to go in the water!" the boatman shouted to the shore. "The rain is getting heavier and heavier. We can't see the road and are about to slip into Jiuquan Valley!"
Jiuquangou is an area in the center of the lake where a suppression pagoda is built. It is said to be a place where water ghosts frequently appear.
Old Mrs. Jie was a little hesitant.
"Grandma Jie, we can't delay," the middle-aged Taoist priest with a sly look on his face said, "Today's date was determined by my fortune-telling. We must offer incense before dark."
Chu Mu understood.
In addition to the well-known tomb-robbing factions such as Fa Qiu Tian Guan, Mo Jin Xiao Wei, Ban Shan Dao Ren and Xiang Ling Li Shi, there are also some lesser-known small sects.
For example, the Taoist priest who lights incense is represented by this old Taoist priest.
People of their school are best at fortune-telling and asking about good and bad luck, and those with good skills can even reverse their fortunes to a certain extent.
The incense offerings that the Taoist priest mentioned are on the first day of actually entering the fighting pit, when the Taoist priest who lights incense will divine a specific time and direction, dig a pit there, and everyone drips blood into the pit. The Taoist priest will then perform a set of rituals, which means "life and death for me".
It is said that this will allow the bleeding people to temporarily escape from the Three Realms, the smell of living people on their bodies will be covered up, and they will not be discovered by Zongzi even if they enter the tomb.
Although there is no historical evidence to support this, the fact that the incense burning school has survived to this day must have some purpose.
Chu Mu followed the old Taoist with an inquiring gaze. The other party seemed to have a very sensitive sense and suddenly turned around to look at him.
A figure stood in front of Chu Mu faster than him.
This is the solution.
"Little mute, come here and stop embarrassing yourself here!"
Jie was tall enough that he easily covered Chu Mu completely.
"You don't want to live anymore," Xie Ye said fiercely, but his voice was very low. "That old Taoist priest with a big nose is very mysterious."
Chu Mu was slightly surprised that an action he thought was hidden was actually noticed by Jie Ye.
Moreover, the other party can help him cover up before the old Taoist finds out.
[…Big fool, actually, he’s not stupid.]
Jie Ye raised his arm and picked up Chu Mu.
Chu Mu turned half of his face to look at him, looking very obedient.
"Behave yourself," Xie also felt his heart soften, "Don't run around on the boat, stay with me."
[Something's wrong. Shouldn't that idiot be chasing after his beloved Lin Zhao? Why is he circling me? Could it be that they've fallen in love?]
Jie also rubbed Chu Mu's buttocks in a lifting posture: "Don't think too much, I just don't want to become a widower at such a young age."
Chu Mu:......
"What's wrong?" Old Mrs. Jie glanced at Jie Ye and Chu Mu as they walked away with dissatisfaction. "Shameless things—look at what they are doing?"
"Nothing." The old Taoist retracted his gaze and said, "Grandma Jie, let's get going. As descendants of the Dianxiang Sect, we must not break the rules."
[Oh, big melon, big melon, this Northwestern Grandma Jie was abducted by human traffickers into the mountains when she was young, and just happened to be accepted into the sparsely populated Dianxiang Sect. She and this old Taoist are even senior and junior apprentice. No wonder the Jie family used to be legitimate businessmen, but after Xibei came to power, they became more and more shady, completely mixing with tomb robbers. If the Jie family's wealth wasn't enough for her to plunder, I'm afraid she would have been finished long ago.]
Grandma Jie herself has experienced the sufferings of the world, yet even against her own sisters, her methods are still vicious.
[This is what they call, because I have been caught in the rain, I want to overturn your umbrella as well.]
Old Mrs. Jie offered ten times the usual price, saying that one trip could earn her a year's worth of money, so the boatman gritted his teeth and agreed.
Jie also carried Chu Mu and followed everyone onto the boat. In the eyes of others, he was just a second-generation rich man showing off his beautiful toys, but Lin Zhao knew that he was actually just enjoying the show.
——Because she was just like Jie Ye, following Chu Mu and watching the show the whole time.
Their eyes accidentally met, and there was disbelief in each other's eyes that they tried hard to hide.
A very outrageous melon.
But there seemed to be a voice in Jie Ye's heart telling him: It's all true.
…
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was becoming increasingly difficult for the boat to move forward.
"Damn it, is the sky falling?" On the deck, a man with a goatee wiped the rain from his face. "Old man, how long will it take to get ashore?"
The boatman, wearing a straw raincoat, rowed the boat while looking around anxiously.
His hair and face were dripping with water, but he had no time to wipe it off.
"Ancestors, please bless me, ancestors, please bless me, after we pass this bend, we must see the shore!"
"What is that old man mumbling about?" The man with the goatee became impatient and was about to move closer to ask for an explanation.
Suddenly, the ship shook violently.
