Along with Lao Ba's cheerful shouts, the system panel appeared in front of Chu Mu.
This time, at the coordinate point of Huaihua Town, there were three more small dots next to the flower pattern.
Lao Ba clicked on the little dot, and Chu Mu saw a few extra words:
[Flower of Rebirth: Breaks through all illusions and sees through the truth from the realm of false desires.]
False desire, real.
Chu Mu instantly knew which god it could deal with.
——God of Desire, Filoni.
Come to think of it, didn’t that girl transform herself into Xiao Su and become Fan Ji’s wife?
As time went on, Chu Mu was overwhelmed by things and forgot about that guy.
He couldn't help but look at Fan Ji twice.
The corners of Fan Ji's lips stiffened, and he began to wonder if he had done anything wrong recently.
"Fifty taels?" The dwarf's expression changed. "That's too much, isn't it? The world is in such a mess right now, how can we raise that much money?"
Chu Mu had already seen through this guy's true nature.
The dwarf we are communicating with now seems to be more honest and upright than the one who fell into the water before, but he is actually very cunning.
It's weird, the other party must hate it.
However, it is impossible to say how much I regret the harmful things I have done to others.
Chu Mu's face turned cold: "Why, a living life is not worth fifty taels?"
The brothers of Qizhenmen quickly drew out their weapons, as if they were going to kill the other party if he dared not agree.
The dwarf said hurriedly: "It's worth it! It's worth it! As long as the brave man can really kill the monster, we will do as you say."
The price was agreed upon, and the next step was to kill the ghost.
"That strange creature lives underwater at night and doesn't wake up until noon. If we send tribute into the water at night, it won't come ashore during the day. If we don't bring anyone with us, it will come to the village and capture a few people."
Chu Mu looked at the hollowed-out ground and asked, "Is this the path to the monster's lair?"
"Yes, there's a hole under the water. I don't know what it is. Water can't get in, but people can breathe inside. The people we sent down were dragged into the hole by the monster."
Chu Mu thought about what the dwarf had said before and speculated: "Monsters like to torture people, so the people you sent down may still be alive."
"This..." the little dwarf said, "There haven't been any new people in town in the past three days, and we haven't been in the water for three days. We don't know the situation down there..."
Chu Mu was skeptical about the dwarf's words and decided to use himself as bait and go into the water himself.
"I'm going too."
“Let’s go together!”
Fan Ji and Qi Meng expressed their opinions almost in unison.
Chu Mu refused all of them: "You all stay outside."
Fan Ji frowned, looking worried: "The situation underwater is unclear. You went down alone without anyone to look after you."
"If I take you down there, the ghost will know at a glance that we're going to tear down its house," Chu Mu said, tying himself up with a rope. "If it hides back at the bottom of the Songhua River, we'll be finished."
Fan Ji looked at Qi Meng and said, "He has a strong murderous aura, so it's really hard to hide. I can do it."
As he spoke, Fan Ji smiled innocently and said, "Master, let's go together."
He was so angry that his teeth itched. He rubbed his face hard and forced a smile: "Who said that? I can be weak too."
Chu Mu looked at the Killer God's smile that looked like he was about to eat human flesh, and declined politely: "No, you are even more cunning than a cunning one!"
跶尨: Is it my fault that I look fierce?
The always arrogant God of Killing felt wronged for the first time in his life.
In order not to alert the enemy, they finally decided to let only Chu Mu and Fan Ji go into the water.
As an escort, the dwarf had to follow.
He just pulled down a rope on the wall, and the mechanism under the floor released a ladder made of hemp rope. Chu Mu and Fan Ji stood in front and behind, forcing the little dwarf in the middle.
This ladder was obviously prepared for going down the water hole, and its length just reached the water surface.
"Brother?" There was a flat voice from the side. Chu Mu looked closely and saw that it was the dwarf who was left behind by Fan Ji before.
He was squatting on a small piece of land on the water, staring at Chu Mu and the others with vigilance.
"Achou," the dwarf on the ladder called softly, "Don't be afraid, these brave men are here to help us."
The two dwarfs exchanged glances at each other from a distance, pretending that Chu Mu didn't see it.
Chu Mu also nodded slightly to Fan Ji, and the other party immediately understood.
The only place on this stretch of water where Ah Chou was squatting was suitable for standing, so several people stood there together.
Chu Mu looked around: "Where is the water cave?"
"We have to go into the water." The dwarf rubbed his hands, took out an iron buckle from the sand, and pulled it. The water surface was suddenly split into two halves, and something like a step appeared under the water.
"Good man," the dwarf lowered his voice, "we dare not accompany you down this road. We always send people here, and we can't go down unless the person below agrees."
"Okay," Chu Muyun said calmly, "Then you just wait here."
Before the two dwarfs could even exchange glances, Fan Ji knocked the man unconscious with ease.
Chu Mu tied them both to the ladder with ropes, then turned and walked towards the underwater steps.
Just as the dwarf said, there was a magical underwater cavity under the steps. Water could not enter, but air could flow.
It's like an independent space specially opened up.
But Chu Mu could tell what this place was originally at a glance.
"Underwater tomb." Chu Mu looked at the intricate carvings on the tall cave entrance and said solemnly, "The water here should have been very deep. After the drought and high temperature, the water level dropped rapidly, exposing this place - the river cave and the heaven, the dragon controls the flowers."
The last eight characters were carved on a large tripod hanging high in the cave.
"Wait," Chu Mu squatted down, picked up a few small stones and started fiddling with them on the ground, "The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the Sun, Moon, and Stars... these are the Dragon Veins!"
The small gravel on the ground slowly formed a familiar pattern: a dragon with bared fangs and claws!
Fan Ji was also surprised: "Is this Zhuhua's dragon vein?"
"I don't know much about Zhu Hua," Chu Mu patted the mud on his hands, "Is there any emperor in history whose tomb was built underwater?"
Fan Ji answered without hesitation, "Yes, the Hua people were once divided and divided into many factions. During the Celestial Dynasty, our Kaiyuan ancestor pacified the world and unified the country. Although there is a suspected tomb of him in the Emperor Taizu's mausoleum, it is actually a cenotaph. The real tomb is said to be somewhere underwater."
"Haha." Chu Mu suddenly sneered.
Fan Ji was confused for only a moment before he reacted.
Oops! He was tricked!
"Gou Dandan, I even taught you how to recognize characters, how come you suddenly know so much about royal secrets?" Chu Muliang fixed his eyes on Fan Ji with an expression that said, "I'd like to see what other excuses you can come up with."
Fan Ji was speechless and clenched his fists nervously.
"Fan Ji," Chu Mu said lightly, "Is it fun to lie to me?"
At this time, a strong fishy smell wafted over.
Fan Ji fell to the ground without saying a word - pretending to be unconscious.
