If you don't count, you will die

Glimpse at the temple.

It used to be the residence of the national teachers of the past dynasties in the Zhantian Kingdom. Even though it has been abandoned and depressed for many years, its majesty and magnificence are still no less than any palace.

The palace servants who brought Shen Mo left in front of the hall, leaving only a team of guards guarding in front of the hall, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.

Looking up, in this imperial palace, except for the 99 steps in front of the emperor's dormitory, the light ember hall is the highest, followed by the [-] steps in front of the peeping hall.

Going up the 99 steps, the first floor of the Hall of Observation is the atrium of the room, surrounded by swaying gauze, and there is a cold pool in the center. Cozy fairy days.

The second floor of the Hall of Observation is the residence of the National Teacher. There is a study room with a rich collection of books, which records the changes in the astrology and gossip of the royal family in the past dynasties.

But this bedroom is much empty, except for the basic bed, there is nothing else.

The third floor of the Hall of Observation is the Star Observation Platform.

The observatory is half-covered and half-opened, and there is a unique hole in the sky. The greenery in it is actually a garden in a pavilion. Although the garden is small, it has all five internal organs, rockery and strange rocks, gurgling water, and green trees.

Walking to the third floor, Silence only felt suddenly enlightened, took a deep breath, and it was full of greenery and freshness.

But what followed was hunger in the stomach.

The emperor punished him to fast for three days, three days, maybe he would starve to death.

Squatting silently, looking at the ingenious rockery stream in front of him, there are many koi in it, silently staring for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand to catch the fish.

But the fish were very clever, as soon as Shen Mo stretched out his hand to approach, they scattered away one after another, and withdrew his hand, the fish gathered back triumphantly, protruding and bubbling, as if they were laughing.

I went back and forth several times, and my sleeves were all wet, but I never even touched the fish's tail.

"A good fish, why catch it?"

There was a sudden human voice, Shen Mo stopped his outstretched hand again, looked sideways, and there was a person standing casually at a distance of only a few feet behind him. , smiling at the silence.

"Although koi are edible, they smell too fishy and are not very tasty. You'd better not touch them."

Silently, "Why are you here? Lin Mu."

"There is no place in this world that I can't go to." A very plain sentence, but it is very arrogant.

Lin Mu took the food box to a stone table and sat down, beckoning to Shen Mo, the gesture looked no different from calling a kitten or puppy.

He remained silent, and Lin Mu didn't greet him anymore, he just opened the food box and picked up the chopsticks to eat.

The breeze brought the fragrance over, and the humming in Shen Mo's stomach became even worse.

Touching the shriveled abdomen, Mo Mo hesitated for a while, then strode over, walked to Lin Mu and sat down, picked up another pair of jade chopsticks in the food box, and went to pick up the shiny piece of meat.

It's just that when the chopsticks were about to pick up the tasty food, they were stopped by another pair of jade chopsticks.

Silence changed direction, but was still stopped.

Silence withdrew his hand: "What do you mean?"

Lin Mu smiled: "I wanted you to eat just now, but now, I won't let you eat."

After a moment of silence, Shen Mo really put down his chopsticks, just stared straight at the delicacies on the table, and did not move.

Lin Mu ate a few bites on his own, and finally couldn't help laughing, "You are very obedient."

Immediately, he picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a chopstick of bamboo shoots, shaking it in front of Shen Mo, but Shen Mo remained unmoved.

Looking in the direction of Shen Mo's head, Lin Mu understood, put down the bamboo shoots and picked up another piece of shiny meat, and moved it close to Shen Mo's eyes again.

Shen Mo didn't respond at first, but after a while, he couldn't help but follow the meat and moved his eyes. When Lin Mu made a big move, he saw Mo Mo's head swaying left and right, presumably the eyes under the black cloth were also swaying. very eager.

"Come on, call me brother, if you call me nicely, I'll eat it for you."

"No." Silence retorted.

Lin Mu put down the serving chopsticks without any other choice, no longer caring about him, just eating by herself.

There was silence for a while, and the voice was like a mosquito: "Brother."

Lin Mu pretended not to hear it.

Shen Mo pursed his lips, and called out again: "Mu... Brother? Brother Mu."

One hesitation, two hesitations, and the third bluntness, it's just a title.

Lin Mu chuckled, put down his chopsticks, picked up another piece of meat with the serving chopsticks, and this time handed it directly to Shen Mo's lips, and the oil stains on the meat rubbed onto Mo Mo's lips.

Shen Mo directly opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp, looking like a vicious wolf cub.

Lin Mu: "Is it delicious?"

Nod in silence.

Lin Mu picked up another piece of greasy meat and handed it to Shen Mo.

Lin Mu: "Why don't you call again?"

Silence: "Brother Mu."

After giving Shen Mo another mouthful, he put down his chopsticks and stopped teasing him, "Okay, eat by yourself."

Silence seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and immediately picked up chopsticks to gobble it up after hearing this, it seemed that he was really hungry.

When Shen Mo is full, no matter how much Lin Mu teases him, Shen Mo will no longer call him "Brother Mu".

Lin Mu sighed boredly, and complained plausibly: "Little things, but they are ruthless."

After saying that, Lin Mu took out a jug of wine like a magic trick, raised his head and poured it into his mouth without using a wine glass, drinking it recklessly and freely.

Glancing at Shen Mo at the side, he raised his hand, and the jug was firmly thrown into Shen Mo's hand.

"Drink as much as you want."

Shen Mo touched the smooth and cold body of the jug, raised his head to imitate Lin Mu, and took a sip, but he didn't want the wine to be very strong, and it was so hot that it burned down his throat. The defensive silence coughed, and the movement was too big, the spilled wine wet the front collar.

Seeing it, Lin Mu laughed a few times, and finally there was a real smile in his eyes.

"I forgot to remind you, this wine is very strong."

Although Mo Mo choked most of the sip, but the wine left at the root of his tongue gradually returned to sweetness, and he tasted some of the unusual deliciousness of this wine. After a little relief, Mo Mo took another sip cautiously, with At the beginning, I will slowly get used to it, and after a while, I drank a pot of wine completely.

Lin Mu was a little surprised to see Shen Shen sitting there with a normal expression after drinking a pot of wine.

This drunken wine is strong and then sweet, full of energy, those who have a bad capacity for alcohol will feel dizzy after one cup, and those who have a good capacity for alcohol will become dizzy and fall to the ground even after one pot.

But he didn't notice that at such a young age, Shen Mo's capacity for alcohol was excellent.

Lin Mu asked, "Is it good to drink?"

Shen Mo shook the empty jug, seeing that there was really not a drop of wine in it, so he said unwillingly: "It's delicious."

Lin Mu raised his eyebrows: "Do you want more?"

Silence seemed to remember something, and he opened his mouth and said, "Brother Mu?"

Lin Mu shook his head: "It's useless to call me brother, only that one pot went into your stomach."

Following the question and answer, the smile in Lin Mu's eyes deepened, and he also said that this person can drink a lot, so he was drunk a long time ago, but there are tens of thousands of drunk people in this world, after being silent and drunk, it is very interesting to be dumbfounded .

The green shade on the third floor of the Hall of Peeping Pole is swaying, and the breeze gently rolls up the faint fragrance of wine.

The smile in Lin Mu's eyes gradually faded along with the cool breeze, and he said to the drunken Shen Mo in a plausible way: "Silence, I invite you to drink and eat meat, do you have a gift in return?"

As he spoke, he spread his palms in front of Shen Mo, as if urging him to give him something good.

Shen Mo bowed his head, staring at the extremely beautiful palm knuckles in front of him, he felt dizzy and heavy, his body slowly leaned forward, and slowly, slowly tilted his chin on Lin Mu's palm.

Lin Mu froze for a moment, the warm and delicate touch of his palm was just the soft and tender skin that a teenager should have. He looked at Shen Mo who had already closed his eyes and fell asleep, and he squeezed and squeezed Shen Mo's cheeks with his fingers viciously. Deformed, the mouth is pursed, and there is a crystal liquid at the corner of the mouth that seems to be slipping.

Seeing this, Lin Mu immediately let go of her hand, allowing Shen Mo's cheek to slam heavily on the stone table.

"Your gift is unique this time."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Shen Mo's waist, pulled out the seemingly ordinary Hao Su, held it in front of his eyes, and looked at it carefully.

This brush is a bit bigger than the usual ones, but it still looks simple. The body of the brush is round and cool to the touch, and the texture is thick. It looks like jade but is not transparent. It looks like a slightly larger ordinary brush.

After a while, Lin Mu returned the pen to Shen Mo's waist, got up and left.

Although the sun was shining in March, the temperature was not very warm. Feeling the breeze blowing across her face, Lin Mu paused slightly, then raised her hand, and the black robe spread out, slowly covering her face. On Silence.

Shen Mo was in the garden on the third floor of the Hall of Observation, wrapped in a black robe with a strange body temperature, sleeping in the dark.

When I woke up again, it was already dark.

When he got up, his neck and arms were sore, he silently raised his hand, something slipped off his shoulder, he subconsciously raised his hand, and grabbed a piece of brocade robe corner.

This is... Lin Mu's robe.

It should be late at night at this time, there are some leftovers on the stone table in a mess, and the surroundings are pitch black, and there is not even a servant to light the lamps in this temple.

The breeze blew by, and there was a burst of coldness. Silent couldn't help but let go of the black outer robe that was bundled together and wrapped it up again. Only then did he feel a little better. The night in March was very cold.

Walking to the edge of the astrologer, Shen Mo took off the black cloth in front of him, walked to the edge in the dark, held the cold railing, and looked up at the star-filled sky.

Probably because there is no modern technology and environmental pollution in this ancient era, the sky is exceptionally clean and clear. At this time, the moon is as bright as the sun, and the sky is full of stars, shining brightly.

There are many divination methods recorded in the fortune-telling system. The most commonly used method for Shen Mo is the one-character divination method. There is no other method. This method is simple and not easy to make mistakes, and it is widely used.

There are many methods of divination, one-character divination is not the only method, and the general trend of the world comes from astrology.

But astrology is still a tough nut to crack for Silence.

Moreover, there is a big taboo in divination, no matter how powerful a divination master is, he can't calculate himself, even if Mo Mo has this strange divination system, it is impossible to break through this shackle.

Since he got this adventure and came here, even though he avoided death, he still had a hard time surviving. How easy is it to get a fortune teller to continue his life?

Now he is inexplicably involved with this court and has become Lao Shizi's national teacher. For a modern person who doesn't know much about the situation, it is not a good phenomenon.

After careful consideration, Shen Mo set his target on Lin Mu.

Lin Mu's identity is a mystery, but he must be capable. Just seeing that he can enter and exit the imperial palace at will to peek at the extremely palace, one can guess one or two. Shen Mo preliminarily deduces that he should be somewhat involved with the court, even in the court. However, he and Su Yuanhuan looked like they didn't know each other before, or did they know each other but just had a bad relationship?

Thinking of the divination hexagrams between Lin Mu and Dijun, the two have the same word "heaven", and it is also difficult to see the hexagrams, are they brothers?

But I heard that in the battle of the Emperor of the Heavenly Kingdom, all the brothers and relatives of the royal family were slaughtered when he ascended the throne, so how can there be a brotherhood?

Not a brother, is that a friend or an enemy?

The starlight in the sky was reflected in Shen Mo's eyes. At this time, there was silence everywhere, without the environment that was too noisy for him during the day, his mind was clear, and his thoughts began to fly wildly, gradually thinking wildly.

Perhaps, Di Jun Zhan and Lin Mu are the same person?

If it is really the same person, what is the explanation for the missing left leg?

Shen Mo looked at the sky full of stars, unable to understand or guess anything.

He really didn't find that, compared to the self-closing and closed him, his mind is more active now.
