Chu Mu twisted his fingers habitually, and a little scrutiny flashed from the corner of his eyes, which moved towards the pocket of the man in sunglasses.
[What kind of evil thing can scare Lao Ba? ]
[It’s over. 】
Jie's heart tightened when he heard this.
My curiosity is piqued.
“…”
Jie suddenly wanted to grab Chu Mu and give him a good spanking.
The man in sunglasses kept protecting his pockets intentionally or unintentionally, and his originally nonchalant demeanor became extremely nervous.
"Little mute," Xie Ye hugged Chu Mu, and the height difference was just right for him to speak close to Chu Mu's ear, "What's in Xu Ying's pocket?"
Chu Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, first gave Li Jie a thumbs up, then turned his palm and wrote: It's not a good thing, be careful.
My palms and my heart are itching to solve the problem.
The two tickles from the little mute really hit the heart.
Xu Ying, the man in sunglasses, looked at the two people in front of him kissing each other passionately, and it seemed as if a ball of black fire was burning in his eyes.
"Control your expression," the old Taoist priest warned in a low voice, "Once this is done, you can do whatever you want, but don't let it get away."
…
"How's it going, little mute?"
As soon as he stepped over the threshold, Jie stared at Chu Mu's face nervously.
Chu Mu closed his eyes and felt it.
【Ah, I don’t seem to feel anything anymore.】
He shook his head and made a "don't worry" gesture to Chongjie.
The four people following behind had their eyes almost glued to the palace, their mouths open, like drowning fish.
"This Hidden King is truly generous. Look at these steps, they're made of white marble. Look at the floor and the pillars, they're made of pure gold!"
The professor with glasses looked excited. He touched here and knocked there.
“Th-That’s——”
He suddenly got up from the ground and walked quickly to the center of the hall.
There is a large golden tripod there.
The golden tripod is square and as tall as an average adult.
The pillars of the tripod are carved with several soaring dragons with bared fangs and claws, looking very majestic.
There are also many huge pearls inlaid above and below, which are of excellent quality and look priceless.
Chu Mu walked around the tripod and found that it was decorated with an exquisite and complex pattern.
"The Hidden King's Autumn Hunt..." Xie also propped up his chin, "Strange, who is this person who is on par with the Hidden King?"
Most of the patterns on the tripod are abstract, and only the general shape can be seen.
Chu Mu looked carefully at the location Jie Ye pointed at for a while:
[No wonder Bai Yueguang said that Shadage is a super expert in the field of ancient Chinese characters. He can even understand such obscure things.]
[This is indeed a hunting pattern. Hmm... According to rumors, the Hidden King is a man of extravagance and extravagance, and his personality is also extremely cruel and ruthless. How could such a monarch tolerate someone who could rival him?]
Click.
While Chu Mu was still thinking, the old Taoist priest made trouble.
He held a purple round bead in his hand and muttered to himself, "There is a mermaid monster in the Kunlun Immortal Sea. Its tears turn into pearls, and it contains purple energy. If you take it, you can build a foundation for immortality - this is a mermaid pearl!"
Chu Mu looked at the bead in his hand curiously. At first glance, the bead looked nothing special except that it was a little bigger.
But if you look closely, you can see the purple flowing inside.
The old Taoist priest noticed Chu Mu's gaze and his face fell.
He stuffed the bead into his waist bag with confidence and said, "You are all mortals, and I am the only one cultivating immortality. I believe you don't have any thoughts about this mermaid bead."
[Mermaid pearls are indeed rare, but I've never heard that they can help people build their foundation. They can certainly cure illnesses...]
Chu Mu was stunned.
[By the way, didn't the big guy say he was coming to get medicine for his illness? ]
Jie also listened to Chu Mu's inner thoughts and felt completely relaxed.
——The little mute really cares about me. He thinks of me first when he sees something good.
When Chu Mu turned around, he saw Li Jie's strange smile.
“…” He silently took a step back.
Jie also forcibly pulled the man back, and raised his chin at the old Taoist priest in a scoundrel-like manner: "How do you know we don't need this thing? What if it's not the foundation-building thing you mentioned, but a medicine that can cure diseases?"
"Mr. Jie, what you said is not very kind," the old Taoist said with a frown, "To cure your mania, you must have the Ganoderma lucidum in the King's coffin. Even if this mermaid pearl can cure diseases, it can't cure you."
Meat Ganoderma lucidum is Tai Sui.
There is a saying passed down by the ancestors of tomb raiders that the more evil the tomb is, the more likely it is that Ganoderma lucidum will grow there.
If the tomb owner does not decay for a thousand years, there will be a Tai Sui inside the coffin.
Chu Mu suddenly realized: It turns out that the big guy was going for the Ganoderma lucidum, that's too difficult.
Tai Sui itself is a living creature, and the Tai Sui that can grow in a coffin is even closer to a monster. Moreover, the owner of the tomb has not decayed for a thousand years, which is even more of a monster.
Chu Mu did not doubt the authenticity of Jie Ye's illness.
Although the big guy is a little crazy, he is not really mad. The Xie family has such a powerful network of connections that they must have tried every trick and only came to attack the tomb of King Yin when they had no other choice.
but--
Even if the Mermaid Pearl doesn't cure Lin Zhao, it can certainly help him recover.
Jie Ye suddenly put away the naughty smile on his face.
Lin Zhao is sick? ?
He wanted to ask immediately.
"Stop making a fuss." Old Lady Jie pretended to stand up for justice. "According to what we said before, the Ganoderma Lucidum will belong to Xiaoye, and the other treasures will be divided among us. Even if it's just a bead, Taoist Priest, you shouldn't keep it for yourself, right?"
Oh, Chu Mu blinked in surprise - is the old woman going to avenge Yi Shui?
Not long ago, the old Taoist priest gave Lu Yan's water to his disciples and didn't give it to her. Chu Muke still remembered the vicious look in her eyes at that time!
"You!" The old Taoist glared at her, "Mrs. Jie, you're destroying your bridges after crossing them."
"Humph." The old woman raised her eyelids complacently, "Guozi, go get the beads. We'll talk about it after we get out."
Guozi is Mrs. Jie’s beloved little bodyguard.
"Hey, how can I bother others with such a thing?" Jie Ye took advantage of the old Taoist priest guarding against the bodyguards, pounced and grabbed the mermaid pearl neatly.
"This is outrageous!" The old Taoist priest was so angry that he gasped for breath. "Do you know that stealing things from me, a cultivator—"
Bang!
The muffled sound of a bronze bell rang out from the back of the hall, naturally attracting everyone's attention.
"What's that sound?"
"A bell? Someone's ringing a bell?"
"Let's go and take a look." The man in sunglasses, who had shown no interest even when he saw the golden tripod, was now more active than anyone else. He covered his pockets and trotted towards the inner hall.
For the first time ever, Chu Mu took the initiative to hold Li Jieye's hand.
"Be careful." He gestured twice with very small movements.
It's a funeral bell.
Chu Mu's face looked even paler against the golden background around him.
[Only the underworld's ghosts can ring the funeral bell. 】
