Chu Mu had a very bad feeling.
Sure enough, the next second, the man in shorts said: "Young Master? Of course it's Young Master Meng, Madam, you..."
Shunzi's implication was that Chu Mu was stupid.
"hiss--"
Chu Mu found it a bit tricky.
How is he going to explain it?
He is not the fool, but you all have been fooled by God?
Taman found Chu Mu’s embarrassed look very cute and couldn’t help but move closer.
"Stay away from me." Chu Mu pushed the person away and spoke sternly.
Shunzi was stunned: "Madam, this is Master Meng..."
Looking at his expression, it was not difficult for Chu Mu to guess that according to the identity that Tamang had given him before, the impression they gave to others now was definitely that of a loving couple.
Get lost, loving couple!
It felt like a fire was burning in Chu Mu's heart, making hot smoke come out of his head.
It was at this time that Chu Mu suddenly realized that something was wrong with the temperature.
hot.
More hot than normal.
Just now, my attention was all on dealing with the toad monster, and I didn't have time to form a new understanding of the surrounding environment.
Now when he wiped the sweat from his forehead, his hands were covered with water.
Chu Mu immediately understood why the water in the pond was warm and why his clothes were that style.
The temperature tonight must be at least around 40 degrees.
When the sun comes out during the day, who knows how high the temperature will rise.
Tatar claimed to be a god, and Lao Ba could also secretly reveal information to Chu Mu:
{Mumu, according to past trends, Zhuhua is currently in the midst of a major burning period. Zhuhua has not seen any rain for four consecutive months, leaving the fields nearly barren. Even the water level of the Songhua River has dropped significantly. Can you believe the pond you just dipped in was once a small lake?}
As Lao Ba examined the images and information, he sighed silently: "The water level of the Songhua River has dropped, and the monsters that were originally trapped at the bottom of the lake have crawled out. Some have gone directly to the shore, while others have flown downstream, preparing to head straight for the capital of Zhuhua."
{Natural disasters + evil tricks, the lives of ordinary people are simply not human.}
Chu Mu listened quietly to Lao Ba's retelling, his delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed. "Where's Fan Ji? Where did he go?"
{According to past events, you met Fan Ji on the ferry at Zhoujiawu. After entering Lord Dong's territory, you did not intervene, and Fan Ji was thrown into the river.
But he did not die. Instead, he was rescued by members of the Qizhen Sect in the north. After that, he followed the Qizhen Sect all over the country.
When he was eighteen years old, the Qizhen Sect encountered the evil of Songhua River and was almost wiped out.
Fan Ji accepted the order in a time of crisis and led the surviving members of the Qizhen Sect all the way to the capital of Zhuhua. It was there that you met him for the second time.
Chu Mu guessed the direction of the story later:
[When I first went down to the mortal world, I followed the instructions of the temple and convicted them. After that, I returned to the temple and had nothing to do with it.
The old gods thought that Zhuhua would soon be wiped out by the evil spirits sent by the temple, but they did not expect that there were many strong men who stepped forward in this small country, and the situation was at a stalemate.
So, two years later I came down again, originally planning to destroy this plane directly, but ended up meeting Fan Ji.
There was inevitably a struggle between us, and then I, the cold-blooded God of Judgement, became tempted by human desires. For the first time, I realized that the Temple's actions were wrong, and so, I stood on the same front with Fan Ji.
Lao Ba almost confirmed Chu Mu's guess:
{As expected of Mu Mu, this is pretty close! You've now interfered with the original trajectory of the story. Fan Ji wasn't rescued by the Qizhen Sect, but instead became the eldest son of the Fan family. Without your intervention for two years, the character's fate will remain close to the original trajectory.}
Lao Ba said that Fan Ji had a big fight with the Fan family because of his disagreement with them, and then he left the Fan family. On the way, he met the Qizhenmen and rescued them.
So, the story returns to the point of that year.
The Fan family went to the capital of Zhuhua Kingdom, and Fan Ji led the Qizhen Sect to gather with other talented people who intended to save the world.
And Chu Mu’s reunion with him should not be far away.
Thinking of this, Chu Mu's irritable mood inexplicably calmed down a little.
His communication with Lao Ba seemed long, but in fact it was only a moment.
Tamon didn't notice anything unusual about him, thinking he hadn't adapted to the environment yet. "I've checked. There's a village not far from here, with a saltpeter cave nearby. If we rush over now, we should be there before dawn. When we get to the village, I'll get you some ice to cool you down."
Saltpeter can be used to make ice, a skill Shunzi also knows. He immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes! The young mistress is weak and must be exhausted after such a long journey."
“…” Chu Mu looked at his wrist which was even thinner than two years ago. It was not difficult to guess that the God of Time must have created a weak and sickly character for him.
He wiped the sweat from his head again and said, "Let's go, or we'll be in trouble when the day breaks."
…
Tatar said the village was not far away, but the three of them didn't even have a horse, so they had to rely entirely on their legs.
Traveling in such a hot day without even a trace of wind was a bit unbearable even for Chu Mu.
Tatar was so hot that he had already taken off his shirt, and his bronze skin was consistent with the image of someone who had been in the sun for a long time.
He seemed to be more adapted to the current environment than Chu Mu, and his whole body exuded a signal that he was in a good mood.
Chu Mu couldn't help but glare at him: "You quite like it here."
"You don't understand this," Tatar said, his eyes blazing with passion. "Even though I'm fleeing in troubled times, I have my wife always by my side. Isn't that wonderful? Don't you agree, my lady?"
Chu Mu's face darkened: "If you don't want the tongue, I don't mind feeding it to the dog."
Tatar raised his head and smiled: "Xiao Chu, you know, you are much more lively now than before. This game is worth playing!"
Chu Mu didn't know what he looked like in the temple, but through the fragments that occasionally flashed into his mind, he could still get a glimpse of it.
——If Chu Mu in later generations was just lacking in emotions, then he, the God of Judgement, was completely devoid of emotions.
[You still have to be careful. If you change too much, it will arouse Tartar's suspicion.]
Just as Chu Mu secretly made the decision, the three of them finally arrived at the mountain gate of the village.
"Master... Madam..." Shunzi's teeth were chattering. "What are those things hanging in the air..."
Behind the mountain gate is a wide field with wooden poles erected on it, and a floating human figure is hung on each pole.
Chu Mu narrowed his eyes, pushed open the half-broken wooden door and stepped in.
(PS: In the next chapter, our 18-year-old Fan Ji, who is in the heat of youth, will make a brilliant appearance.
See you tomorrow. )
