Jie Ye's mind was in a mess at this point.
He had no intention of listening to what Chu Mu and Tian Yuan said next.
After a brief moment of shock, Lin Zhao quickly walked back to Li Ye.
"You know better than me what kind of life the little mute has been leading in the Chu family."
Lin Zhao lowered her voice very low.
"The Chu family is full of evil people. The little mute has weak bloodline and has long been abandoned."
Jie didn't reply, but just mechanically raised his legs and took a step forward.
"If you want to live well in a family like that, you have no choice but to show weakness and obey." Lin Zhao said with a hint of meaning, "Isn't it the same for us?"
Jie still didn't say anything, just walked with his head down.
"Hey," Lin Zhao grabbed his wrist firmly, "If you dislike the little mute because of this, I will look down on you."
Xie Ye's lips trembled slightly, and he spoke after a while: "No wonder the little mute has such a big contrast in his behavior in front of others and behind their backs. It turns out that the life he lived before was like that..."
Lin Zhao's mind is more delicate than Jie Ye's. Originally, she only had some good feelings towards Chu Mu, but now this good feeling has automatically evolved into pity.
"Alas." Tienu felt sad.
In addition to the plan against the Chu family that was already in process in his mind, Jie also secretly convinced himself -
"Next time, be gentler with the mute. Doesn't he enjoy foreplay? Then give him more. Don't let him confuse me with a client!"
…
The rain started to fall quickly.
Chu Mu took out several disposable raincoats from his backpack, and Jie Ye, Lin Zhao and Lu Yan all got one.
Chu Mu gave the remaining one to Tian Yuan.
Old Lady Jie's eyes were about to blaze with anger again: "Humph, everyone's belongings fell into the lake, but he's the only one still carrying a bag. If there's nothing wrong here, I'll cut off my head and let him kick it like a ball."
Chu Mu stuffed Lao Ba into his backpack and unzipped it a little, revealing a cat's head.
"Oh, you're really protective of a cat... People are no match for animals." The old woman continued in a sarcastic tone.
[Old Eight, if I were you, I would jump out right now and give her a few claws.]
"Meow~~" {Mumu, this old woman is the protagonist of this plane. With my ability as a little kitten, there is only one outcome for tickling her - being expelled from the plane by the power of the plot. You definitely can't bear to part with me, right?}
Chu Mu was shocked: [Is this the Tomato Senior Literature Concentration Camp? Xibeihuo is the heroine? Don't tell me the old Taoist priest is the hero!]
{No, you guessed wrong, the male lead is the one over there.}
Chu Mu followed Lao Ba's instructions and looked over.
Jie Ye, who had been secretly following him, naturally looked over there as well.
【……】
Behind old lady Jie, the male favorite with a rare appearance was helping her to calm down.
【Old Eight, my life is also my life.】
Xie Ye was confused and had some guesses of his own:
Chu Mu's cat can indeed speak. Not only can it speak human language, but like the evil monk, it can also communicate with Chu Mu's thoughts.
The demon cat has the ability to predict the future, so it told Chu Mu how the story would develop in advance.
Chu Mu - trusts this cat very much.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he had to realize a fact again:
He is not even as good as a cat!!
Jie Ye's heart transformed into an angry black bear, howling towards the sky: Ah——
Chu Mu's silence gradually made Old Lady Jie lose interest in attacking.
After all, she was old, and after being drenched by the cold rain, she soon lost the energy to speak.
The entire team moved silently through the rain.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and everyone's clothes were soaked.
Chu Mu felt that the disposable raincoat could no longer block the rain.
"arrive."
Tianyuan, who was walking at the front of the team, stopped.
"Are we there yet?" the old Taoist priest wiped the rain from his face. "Where is the tomb here?"
"Haha," Tian Yuan's voice was still clear and ethereal even in the pouring rain. "You are all the leaders of the tomb-robbing world. You must know that the Tomb of the Hidden King is buried between two mountains."
"That's right," Lin Zhao said solemnly. "According to unofficial historical records, the location of the Yin King's tomb is called Yuanyang Mountain. On the surface, they appear to be two different mountains, but in reality, they are connected, like what we now call conjoined twins."
"This old fellow, the Hidden King, is quite capable of causing trouble."
At first glance, the male protagonist of the plane sounds like a wild duck.
"I heard from Grandma Jie that when the Hidden King was alive, he mobilized the entire nation to hollow out Yuanyang Mountain and built the Futian Palace. After his death, he even moved all of Daxia's treasures into the temple, completely disregarding the lives of his people. Monk, since you claim to be the descendant of Pharaoh Tianyuan, you must know a lot of the Hidden King's secrets, right?"
Tian Yuan gave him a gloomy look and said, "Legends are just legends. How can the real secret be revealed under the sun?"
"But..." Tian Yuan seemed to sense Chu Mu's curious gaze and turned his head away. "Little Donor Chu may not know that the Hidden King was only 28 years old when he died. He was not the old man that Donor Ya mentioned at all."
"Duck... Benefactor..." The man reacted for a moment, "Well, you stinky monk, you dare to curse me in a roundabout way!"
Tian Yuan smiled innocently. "Amitabha, you misunderstood. What I just said was 'That's not the old man you were talking about.' I just missed the mark for a moment. Why do you have to take it so seriously?"
Chu Mu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
[Although this monk Tianyuan is a bit frivolous, he is really interesting.]
Jie Ye was dissatisfied and stepped forward to squeeze Tian Yuan away: "Is it funny? I can tell jokes too, I'll tell you one -
Make a sentence with the words "the eldest, the second, the third, the fourth, and the fifth." The fifth said to the fourth that the third's second is the eldest.
Chu Mu: ...
Lin Zhao slapped his forehead and forced the conversation back to the topic: "Master, if I went from the east coast, I would have a rough idea of where the shrine is. Now that I've turned around, I can't figure it out anymore."
"Amitabha, it's a good thing you didn't go to the east. The east hilltop is the main entrance to the shrine, where my master, who has transformed into a doctor of chemistry, is."
Tianyuan maintains his usual playful speaking style.
Lin Zhao chuckled twice: "Then what should we do next..."
"There," Tian Yuan pointed to the cliff not far away, "jump down."
