Creation Color Master

In the early morning, the sun shines brightly on the earth, and a few birds chirp under the eaves.

Now that spring has returned, the entire Yuzhou land is full of green.

Looking at the fat birds playing and frolicking on the roof tiles, Chu Mo felt in a good mood, and even the food tasted a little sweeter.

The originally magnificent Shen Mansion has been adjusted by dividing up the excess real estate and transforming it into the current prefect's office.

Chu Mo and others are leaving today. Wang Jindong talked a lot with Yao Guangxiao yesterday and learned a lot, so he came to see them off early in the morning.

"My Lord, Guangxiao, take care of yourself on your journey. Remember to come back and visit us later. The people of Baiwei County will never forget you."

Chu Mo smiled and said, "Yes, there will be a day when I will revisit the old place. I hope that by then, Baiwei County will be more prosperous under the governance of Governor Wang."

As they spoke, several people burst into laughter.

At this moment, a minor official from the prefectural government came hurriedly and was lightly reprimanded by Wang Jindong.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you see I'm seeing you off? Tell me, what happened that makes you so flustered?"

The clerk swallowed his saliva and pointed to the room next to him where cases were received and said, "Sir, this morning a couple came to report to the officials, saying that their five-year-old child was detained yesterday."

Wang Jindong shouted, "What did you say? The child is missing?"

Then he looked at Chu Mo and the others and clasped his fists and said, "I didn't expect that my first case would arrive so soon. This matter is of great importance. I'm sorry to excuse myself. I can't personally escort you out of the city."

Now that Wang Jindong is the prefect here, Chu Mo no longer needs to interfere in this matter, so he bowed and turned to walk out of the city.

In March, the weather is getting warmer. Chu Mo is walking on the road and can see all kinds of small animals everywhere in the fields.

Chu Mo even encountered a highly poisonous green snake blocking his way.

On both sides of the road are fields that can be seen everywhere in the south. Various wild flowers are competing for beauty, attracting butterflies to dance in the grass.

Ao Qing, the green dragon with blue scales, also crawled out of his sleeves and lay on Chu Mo's arm to bask in the sun; Lin Yan, the fire beast with flaming scales, shrank in size and turned into a puppy, lying in Chu Mo's arms with one head sticking out.

Chu Mo likes this feeling very much. Everything comes back to life in spring, which is a good season for outings and picking things in the wild.

Unfortunately, this is just an ordinary roadside, not the kind of sparsely populated mountain forest, so it is extremely difficult to encounter spiritual objects.

After all, if there really were any spiritual creatures appearing on such a busy path, they would have been picked up long ago.

Chu Mo and his group walked and stopped as they went, not in a hurry to travel any further, giving off a completely relaxed feeling of outing.

As a result, although they left Baiwei County and entered Fengming County, they could not find a place to stay, so they had to stay in a dilapidated temple at night.

Beside the campfire, Chu Mo ate the dry food and dried meat he had prepared, and cooked rice porridge on the fire. The fragrance filled the entire ruined temple.

Lai Buyi and Wang Ximeng also went to the imperial capital according to their own arrangements after the war. Chu Mo suddenly felt that there were too few people arranged in the imperial capital.

So he arranged for the two of them to go there. As for what to do, Chu Mo did not make any requirements, but just let the two of them act according to circumstances.

According to their speed, after more than ten days, they should have reached the imperial capital.

Just as Chu Mo was eating and thinking, there was a noise coming from outside the ruined temple. Listening carefully, he could hear the sound of horse hooves mixed with the sound of wheels.

"Miss, there is a dilapidated temple ahead. It is inconvenient to travel at night. Since we have encountered it, let's go in and rest for a while."

An old and deep voice came from outside, and Chu Mo in the dilapidated temple could hear it clearly.

"it is good"

A gentle and sweet response, although the voice was a little low, it was still very clear in the quiet night.

"Squeak--"

The temple door was opened. When the old man in the lead saw Chu Mo and his group in a corner, he was slightly startled. He unconsciously grasped the big knife at his waist and said with a sense of vigilance: "Sorry, we didn't know there were people here. It's very humid at night. Can you let us go in and take shelter for a while?"

Chu Mo only glanced at the master and servant, and then said softly: "This dilapidated temple is not mine, and it is so big. You two can go in if you want. Just find a place to go."

The old man clasped his fists in a martial arts salute and said, "Thank you."

After saying that, he walked into the ruined temple and chose the other side opposite to Chu Mo and his group. Not long after, a bonfire started in the ruined temple.

The dilapidated temple fell into silence, with only the crackling sound of burning wood as the sound continued.

With the help of the firelight, Chu Mo looked at the two of them carefully.

The old man who just spoke was in his fifties, with gray hair, dressed like a military instructor, with a big sword hanging on his waist. He should be acting as a bodyguard.

The young lady he was talking about was wearing a Guangling Baihe skirt and a veil covering her face. She sat there quietly, looking like a lady from a noble family.

Chu Mo found a place, spread some hay, and sat cross-legged to rest.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside again.

The next second, the temple door was pushed open again, and a middle-aged man in tattered clothes with a gourd hanging around his waist walked in. The man ignored Chu Mo and the others, chose a place to lie down, and fell asleep.

Chu Mo opened his eyes, looked at the gourd on his waist meaningfully, and then closed his eyes again.

In the crowded ruined temple, tonight, including Chu Mo, three groups of people have settled here.

It was late at night and the temple was completely silent. The last man who came in even snored, which was particularly clear in the quiet temple.

Tonight does not seem to be peaceful. In the middle of the night, the sound of horse hooves was heard again outside. The sound stopped in front of the ruined temple, and it was obvious that it was also heading towards the ruined temple.

Chu Mo pulled up a smile, it was getting more and more interesting. So many people gathered in this dilapidated temple, Chu Mo definitely didn't believe that there was no trick.

A group of six people pushed open the temple door. They were all dressed like robbers. The leader looked ferocious and there was even a slight smell of blood on his body.

The six people also found a place to sit down. Perhaps because they didn't bring anything to start a fire, the leader looked around and stood up and walked towards Chu Mo.

"Hey, brother, it's very humid at night. Can you lend us a fire so that we can warm ourselves up?"

Chu Mo slowly opened his eyes and said, "Please do as you please."

The man squatted down, and while lighting the fire, he asked, "Judging from your accent, you should not be a local."

Chu Mo forced a smile and said, "I am from Haozhou, and I came here while traveling."

The visitor did not continue the conversation, it seemed like he was just being polite.

He held a pile of red-hot charcoal with a knife, stood up and said, "Okay, brother, you take a rest. I'll go over first. Thank you."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The dilapidated temple fell silent again, but the six new people nearby had lit a bonfire that was very bright.

Some of them even brought some wine, and the air was soon filled with the aroma of wine.

The rich aroma of wine seemed to arouse people's desire for more wine. The old guard who arrived first and the sloppy man who was sleeping both opened their eyes and looked in the direction of the six people.

The sloppy man was swallowing his saliva due to greed, while the old guard stood in front of his young lady, full of vigilance.
