Creation Color Master

After Chu Mo and others confirmed that there was indeed someone behind the incident with He Bo, they decided to go to the village first to take a look.

Firstly, they needed a boat to cross the river, so they had to find someone to cross the river.

Secondly, since someone is using the name of He Bo to cause trouble and has received such support from the surrounding people, I am afraid that this person has already grasped the flaws in the villagers' consciousness and should be hiding in the surrounding villages.

Just when Chu Mo and others were about to leave, they suddenly heard some noise coming from the water.

Because of the thick fog, Chu Mo and others could not see the specific situation on the river surface, but they could hear that in addition to the sound of rushing water, there seemed to be a large number of fish swimming in the water.

If there were no white fog covering the water at this time, you would see countless fish gathering on the water surface, swimming towards a certain direction, densely packed and black.

"Wow-"

It seemed like something jumped out of the water, and huge splashes of water echoed in all directions.

Chu Mo looked at Tian Yiheng with some horror. Although he didn't believe that there really was such a thing as He Bo, but judging from the noise just now, it seemed to be caused by some kind of monster.

If that's the case, then all my previous guesses were wrong. This was not man-made, but the villagers mistook some kind of water monster for He Bo.

At this time, Yao Guangxiao came to Chu Mo and said, "My lord, don't be in a hurry to deny yourself. What if this monster was also arranged by someone who did something bad? It's just to increase the villagers' awareness of believing in He Bo. Let's wait and see what happens."

Chu Mo nodded and looked towards the river again, as if he wanted to see the real situation of the river through the thick fog.

It seemed as if God heard Chu Mo's thoughts. At this time, the wind blew up by the river, and the strong wind blew away the thick fog, and visibility gradually increased.

The thick fog became thinner and thinner, and the condition of the river surface seemed to be vaguely visible.

In the middle of the river, I saw a huge figure walking on the water. The figure stood upright, as if it had the ability to control the water, and waves rose under its feet.

The upright figure moved very quickly, flashing across the river and disappearing into the distance.

Chu Mo searched the knowledge in his mind at this time, but seemed to have not found a matching water monster.

Unfortunately, the surface of the river was still covered with a thin layer of mist, and Chu Mo did not see the figure carefully.

It is impossible to determine what kind of monster it is, and it is unclear why it appears at this time?

On the other side, three figures were coming to the river to fetch water. They also saw the huge figure controlling the water. They immediately ignored the buckets in their hands and stumbled towards the direction of the village.

Suddenly, the news that He Bo had been seen spread rapidly throughout the village.

The sun came out, the mist dissipated, and the river returned to calm, as if nothing had happened, giving people a feeling of waking up from a dream.

Chu Mo didn't hesitate any more. He thought that things would work out when the time came. He might as well go to the village to inquire about the situation.

So he led a few people away from the river and headed towards the village they had seen before.

On the other side, next to the Hebo Temple, Liu Yuze felt dizzy when he learned that another villager had seen Hebo.

Liu Yuze knew that he could not stop the villagers from coming to burn incense, because the appearance of He Bo at this time made the people no longer afraid of the power of officials.

If not handled properly, conflicts and even bloodshed will occur.

So he said quickly, "Quick, let's go to the riverside where we found the river god. Don't worry about this place for now. The villagers are already crazy. If we stop them, they will probably fight us to the death."

So Liu Yuze took his two subordinates to the river.

Not long after Liu Yuze left, villagers came in groups, even holding various farm tools in their hands.

Fortunately, when the villagers saw that the Hebo Temple was unattended, they dropped their weapons and went into the temple to worship. Some even put a large amount of money into the merit box nearby.

The incense was burning in the Hebo Temple again, and the old man in strange clothes appeared again, holding a small cloth bag in his hand, with countless incense scents absorbed into it.

His actions did not seem to attract much attention, and the villagers' eyes did not stay on him for even a second.

All of this seems to be very reasonable.

At this time, Chu Mo and others also came to Guhuai Village. After walking for a while, they didn't meet any single person, which made Chu Mo a little confused.

After knocking gently on the door, a middle-aged man soon opened the door and looked at Chu Mo and the others outside. After carefully examining them, he asked, "What do you want?"

Chu Mo smiled and said, "Brother, we are from the grassland and heading to the imperial capital. We were blocked by a river several times when we passed by. We would like to ask if anyone in the village has a boat that can take us across the river."

The man's face darkened when he heard this. He glared at Chu Mo fiercely and said, "I don't know. Go ask somewhere else."

Chu Mo opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back.

Chu Mo was not angry about this, but instead knocked on the door of another house.

Along the way, Chu Mo discovered that whenever he mentioned taking a boat across the river, everyone in the village would change their faces and drive him away.

Just when Chu Mo was at a loss, a child ran out from the side, holding a wooden sculpture in his hand, which immediately attracted Chu Mo's attention.

Because the wood sculpture in the child's hand felt familiar to him, and it was very similar to the figure swimming on the river.

So Chu Mo smiled and said, "Little friend, come here for a moment. Can I see the wood carving in your hand?"

The little boy was not afraid of strangers. He ran over and asked, "You want to see my wood carving, too? My father carved it for me. You have to return it to me later."

Chu Mo smiled and patted the child's head, saying, "I'll give it back to you."

After taking the wood carving, Chu Mo looked at it carefully. The wood carving was very lifelike. Looking at the upright monkey figure, Chu Mo was reminded of the water monkey in his previous life.

After examining it carefully, Chu Mo returned the wood carving to the child and then said, "You said this was carved by your father, do you know who carved it?"

The child raised his head with a hint of contempt in his eyes and said, "Of course I know, it's the Lord Hebo we worship."

Chu Mo suddenly found it funny and said, "So your father has seen He Bo, otherwise how would he know what He Bo looks like?"

The little boy said proudly, "Of course, everyone in the village knows that my father was the first person to see He Bo."

Chu Mo smiled when he heard this and said, "Then I wonder if I can meet your father. I am also very curious about how your father met He Bo."

The little boy looked at everyone, and finally nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, then follow me."

After saying that, he ran forward.

Seeing this, Chu Mo hurriedly followed.

On the other side, Liu Yuze and his guards came to the river, where the villagers saw He Bo's figure.

At this time, the bucket was thrown casually on the ground, and the only thing left was the surging river water.

Liu Yuze stood on a huge rock and carefully observed the water surface, but did not notice anything.

"Alas, we are still late. There is no trace of Habaek here."

A guard asked, "Sir, what are we going to do next? Are we going back to the Hebo Temple?"

Liu Yuze shook his head and said, "Let's not go back yet. Since He Bo has appeared, he must have left traces. Let's walk along the river and see if we can find anything."

After saying that, he jumped off the boulder and walked to the side.
