If you don't count, you will die

"Rin Mu."

Mo Mo didn't look back, and he already knew who it was.

Lin Mu stood behind Shen Mo, helping him untie the knot of red gauze.

"Don't you want to talk at night by candlelight? Why are you back?"

Shen Mo shook his head with his back to Lin Mu, expressing his ignorance, "Are you present at the canonization ceremony?"

Lin Mu: "Of course, who would dare not go?"

The knot couldn't be untied no matter what, so Lin Mu took out a close-fitting dagger and cut it open, the broken red yarn gently fell to the ground.

Mo Mo touched his neck, finally felt more comfortable, and then asked the doubts in his heart: "Is the sacrificial uniform always red?"

Lin Mu had already sat across from Shen Mo at this time, took the book he was reading and flipped through it: "There is no canonization ceremony for the previous national teacher."

Silence: "Why"

Lin Mu: "Who knows. But your red dress looks pretty."

Shen Mo frowned, the previous national teacher had no canonization ceremony, so there was no comparison, but he couldn't accept Lin Mu's praise: "How beautiful? It's more like a woman's clothes."

Lin Mu said with a smile: "Who said red clothes are women's clothes? You are not very old, but you are a bit old-fashioned and boring."

Silent and noncommittal, Lin Mu took the book, and he stroked Haosu's waist, his fingertips slowly slid across Haosu's cold pen, and then he pulled it out to stare silently.

Lin Mu's eyes moved along with Mo Mo's fingertips. Seeing him looking around with Hao Su, he followed suit, then put down the book, and snatched Hao Su back.

Silence didn't stop him, watching Lin Mu pick up his fortune-telling Hao Su and look at it carefully.

Lin Mu held Haosu and turned a beautiful pen: "The texture of this Haosu is special, but looking at it now, it reminds me of something."

Shen Mo waited for Lin Mu to speak, but he didn't expect that Lin Mu suddenly raised his hand and tapped the point between Shen Mo's eyebrows with the tip of the pen, then put the pen back in Shen Mo's hand, and stopped talking.

Shen Mo raised his hand and touched the center of his brows, watching Lin Mu slowly frowning, he found that Lin Mu's words were always hidden and only half-spoken.

Lin Mu: "Look at me in a trance?"

As he said that, he leaned close to Shen Mo's eyes and blew a frivolous breath. Seeing Mo Mo, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his lips deepened, which was quite frivolous and frivolous.

Shen Mo turned his head to the side, unable to adapt to Lin Mu's teasing from time to time, always felt that there was something else in Lin Mu's eyes, but it seemed like there was nothing.

Lin Mu no longer teased him, but rarely said seriously: "From today onwards, you are the national teacher of Zhantian Kingdom, so be careful in everything."

Silence looked at Lin Mu and said bluntly: "It should be so, after all, I am greedy for life and afraid of death."

Ling Mu raised his eyebrows, "It's a good thing to be greedy for life and fear death, after all, only when one is alive, can there be infinite possibilities, isn't it?"

Nodding silently, he wants to live.

Ever since he could remember, this idea has been very strong, he wants to live, he can't die, he can't die.

Thinking this way, he was suddenly attracted by the black veils hanging in front of his eyes.

Lin Mu shook some black gauzes in his hand, "I saw that you are always blindfolded with black cloths. The black cloths are rough and impervious to light, which hinders your vision a lot, so I found some black gauzes for you."

Shen Mo reached out to take it, the black gauze was thin, similar to today's red gauze.

Lin Mu took one, and stood behind Shen Mo to help him cover his eyes, "It's better to look red."

Mo Mo touched the black gauze in front of her eyes, and said softly, "Thank you."

Lin Mu: "It's a little effort."

The words fell, the window sash moved slightly, and the person had already left. Since Shen Mo knew this person, he always came and went in a hurry, and never said hello.

The next day, Shen Mo woke up early, and when she was putting on a black veil, she suddenly remembered what Lin Mu said yesterday, "Red looks better", the corners of her lips raised unconsciously and then immediately pressed down, who wants red to be so bright.

Now that the Weiji hexagram is over, he has more than a year to live, but he dare not slack off, time is the most unbearable waste, he plans to go back to the market and continue to set up a stall for fortune-telling.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the Hall of Peeping Ji, he was stopped by someone. The person who came was the chief steward who always followed the emperor.

"My lord, the emperor is here to invite you."

Silently stunned, he had no choice but to follow this person all the way to the door of a study in the Hall of Light Embers.

"Sir, please."

Pushing open the closed door, the emperor was sitting in front of the desk, dressed in a black robe meticulously, and the treacherous mask that had never been removed on his face blocked all prying eyes.

When Shen Mo entered, the emperor did not raise his eyes, but just raised his hand, and a memorial was accurately thrown into Shen Mo's arms.

Silently glanced at the busy emperor who was still downcast, picked up the memorial and read it.

This is a copy of this petition.

The so-called petition means that what happened in the local area has become so difficult that the local officials can't solve it, so it will be reported.

Submitted layer by layer, reported layer by layer, and finally reached Dijun's hands must be very difficult and difficult things, only this kind of thing will alarm Dijun himself.

And the memorial in Shen Mo's hand was enough to alarm the current emperor, and he reported the matter about Zeshui City, a city near Jiuchong.

Zeshui City, as its name suggests, lives by water, and every household more or less earns a living on the water. The residents in the city, regardless of their age, men, women, and children, are all good swimmers. But in this city, suddenly, one after another, people died of drowning. and died.

From one or two children, to teenagers and girls, to adult men and women, to this day, all kinds of people have died, and their bodies are all missing.

The local officials checked, but to no avail, so they reported layer by layer, traced layer by layer, and finally reached the emperor's hands, and as many as 15 people had died.

"I will entrust this matter to you. Since you have some special skills due to the pity of the heavens, in the future, if ordinary officials can't find out and can't do it, you will do it."

Said that the emperor put down the memorial in his hand, and walked slowly with a cane. He walked not slowly, but every step was very steady.

In front of Shen Mo, Dijun bent down slightly, looked at Mo Mo carefully, and then raised his hand to touch Mo Mo's eyes covered with black veil.

"I am very curious about what these eyes can see and what you can do. Don't let me down."

As he said that, he put down his hand, turned his palm over, and a small, pitch-black token appeared in the palm of his hand. There was no extra decoration on the token, and there was only a scribbled and crazy word "war" in the center.

"I will send someone to follow you to keep you safe."

As he spoke, he grabbed Silence's palm and put the token in his palm.

The palms of the two were separated as soon as they touched, unlike the cold and gloomy expression on Dijun's face, his palms were warm and dry.

After finishing speaking, Dijun waved his sleeves to make Shen Mo leave, and he stopped speaking before returning to the case again.

Mo Mo had already had the experience of divination and divination of the dead, and this time she had something to rely on, and she was not panicked, so she immediately went back to the Hall of Observation and cleaned up some soft things, and Zhao Bao prepared some money for Mo Mo to pack together. Into the baggage.

Dijun Zhan is not stingy, and Mo Mo has a lot of monthly examples as the national teacher of a dynasty.

As soon as he left the imperial palace, a light carriage drove over, and the driver quickly turned over and blocked the silent way with his hand.

The person who came was actually Wen Pu who had been talking to Silence honestly, and then the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a smiling face appeared, beckoning to Silence, "Come here."

Shen Mo was a little surprised when he saw Wen Pu and Lin Mu. He thought that the emperor sent someone from the Law Enforcement Hall.

He walked over, Lin Mu stretched out his hand and dragged him into the carriage, and asked silently: "Did the emperor send you here?"

Lin Mu shook his head, "The person sent by the emperor is Wen Pu, I just join in the fun when I have nothing to do."

Shen Shen sat in the carriage, Wen Pu sat outside the carriage and drove, and put the curtains down.

Silence: "Is Wen Pu a member of the Law Enforcement Hall?"

Lin Mu chuckled: "Of course not, he is the chief guard in the palace."

Silence: "The chief guard is following the case?"

Lin Mu: "As long as the emperor is willing, why not?"

Nodding in silence, no more questions.

The journey to Zeshui City is not too far away, and he has already arrived outside Zeshui City before dark.

But compared to the gate of Zeshui City, which was right in front of him at this time, there was another thing that attracted Shen Mo's attention, that was, Lin Mu had been staring at him since he set off.

Even though Shen Mo is a person who is good at closing himself off, Lin Mu's sense of presence is too strong, and after being stared at for several hours like this, Shen Mo can't bear it anymore.

He finally took the initiative to say: "Don't look."

Lin Mu: "Huh?"

Silence: "I said don't look."

Lin Mu supported his chin with one hand, and said with a smile: "What are you doing so you're afraid of being watched? Besides, if you don't look at me, how do you know I'm looking at you?"

silence:"……"

Shen Mo found out that his 16 years of life experience was not enough for him to win Lin Mu in bickering, so he simply gave up and jumped off the curtain first.
