Chapter 279: Chanting the true name on the road to the underworld, and the tree of reincarnation bears cause and effect
After being quiet for several seconds, the skinny old man held back a few words: "I said I really didn't mean it. Do you believe it?"
He also had an explosive mentality. He had been cultivating here for more than a year and had never had such an accident.
Now it appeared twice in one minute, which really made him collapse.
This sense of déjà vu was as if I had thrown it away on purpose.
Su Mu was stunned for a second or two, and without saying anything else, he waved his hand, and the big hammer that fell to the bottom of the river flew out of the water again.
But this time it didn't fly into the old man's hands, but fell into Su Mu's hands.
Su Mu held the hammer and stepped onto the stone bridge step by step, walking towards the skinny old man on the bridge.
Seeing this, the skinny old man took a step back subconsciously, a look of fear flashing in his eyes.
After Su Mu got closer, he picked up the hammer, bent down, and began to repair the stone bridge at the damaged area.
Seeing this, the skinny old man breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Su Mu was going to hit him with a hammer. It seemed that he was narrow-minded.
Also, given the other party's level, there is no reason to do anything to him.
"Give way."
"It's blocking me."
After finishing his words, the skinny old man took a few steps back knowingly, made room, and began to quietly observe Su Mu's movements.
After watching it for only a few minutes, he was shocked and exclaimed in a low voice: "Your Excellency is so proficient in maintenance methods!"
Hearing this, Su Mu replied: "I'm used to cultivating myself. Over the years, there have been various situations on the river, such as dams and landslides. It's much more complicated than your situation."
"Too fierce!"
The skinny old man was full of compliments, but finally he could only choke out these three words, which could best describe his mood at the moment.
"As expected of you, we feel very relieved to have you here all these years."
"Okay."
"What am I? Alright?!"
During the conversation, when the skinny old man came back to his senses, he looked closely and found that it had been repaired!
How long did it take? ? ?
Is this the time to talk?
Su Mu handed the big hammer to the skinny old man who was in a dazed state, and patted the dust on his hands and clothes.
"Okay."
"I have to get busy."
After saying that, Su Mu turned around and prepared to walk off the stone bridge.
"Senior, wait!"
At this time, the skinny old man's name for Su Mu also changed and he used an honorific title.
"What's wrong?" Su Mu turned around and asked with a strange look on his face.
"Senior, you have done me such a big favor, why don't you make a condition, otherwise I will feel bad." said the skinny old man.
"Didn't I say that at the beginning?"
"No charge, it's free. If you really want to count, it's still my job."
Su Mu is very principled. If there is a river crossing fee, it must be collected. However, if these fees are not collected, they will definitely not be collected.
What is this called? I don’t want to get any money that I should get, and I don’t want to get any money that I shouldn’t get.
If Su Mu were allowed to travel back in time and become an official in ancient times, he would be an upright official! (confident face)
"This"
The skinny old man didn't know what to say.
This huge favor seems to be owed.
What is most difficult to repay is of course a favor. This thing can be big or small. When it is easy to repay it, it is very easy. When it is difficult to repay it, it is too difficult.
"Senior, I can't take out any treasure that's too good, and you can't look down on it either."
"You must accept this small gift, otherwise I will feel uneasy." As he said that, the skinny old man took out a piece of crumpled yellow paper from his sleeve and handed it to Su Mu.
Su Mu took the piece of yellow paper and looked at it carefully. He didn't find anything magical about it, but he thought that since everyone said so, he might as well accept it even if it wasn't a treasure. After all, for him, it was just a piece of cake.
"Senior, if an important friend of yours dies, you only need to recite his real name silently, and then light this yellow paper."
"He will be reincarnated."
"It can only be used on one person at a time. In terms of success rate, as long as the cause and effect of the other party is not too complicated, the success rate is basically 99%."
Hearing these words, Su Mu was also stunned. He twisted the crumpled yellow paper in his hand and said with a surprised look on his face: "Seriously?"
"Of course." The skinny old man nodded very seriously.
Su Mu also understood. Is this crumpled yellow paper a resurrection scroll? ?
Why doesn't he believe it?
Then, he also smiled and joked: "If I die, can someone else use this to reincarnate me?"
As soon as he said this, the skinny man also waved his hand and replied with a smile: "Senior, please don't make fun of me, old man."
"How can senior die? It doesn't exist."
"As long as you are alive, you are destined to die. One day, I will die too. Who is immortal?"
Su Mu also accepted the yellow paper. Regardless of whether it was real or fake, since it was the other person's heart, just keep it.
"Everyone else, including me, I believe will die."
"But senior, I won't die."
As he spoke, the skinny old man smiled, showing his dark teeth, looking very honest.
Seeing this, Su Mu also smiled: "Then let me lend you some good words."
"Where do you live?"
"Should I send you back?"
Seeing that the skinny old man was limping when he walked, he asked. For some reason, he admired this old man who seemed to have severe kidney deficiency.
"No need."
"I still have to go to the next place. The stone bridges on several tributaries are also damaged. I still have to repair them."
Hearing this, Su Mu was also stunned, but he didn't ask any more questions.
It's enough for me to help once. It's impossible to continue to help. I still have to patrol.
At this time, the system’s announcement sounded in my mind:
"Congratulations to the host, for maintaining the order of the river, favor points +80000"
Su Mu was stunned after seeing 80,000 favor points entered into his account.
He thought that building such a stone bridge would be of no concern, but he didn't expect that he would get 80,000 yuan at one time!
He immediately turned around and shouted to the old man who was about to leave: "Wait!"
"Senior, what's wrong?"
The skinny old man also looked confused. Could it be that he did something wrong?
"Did you just say that you were going to the next place to build a bridge?"
"Yes, I have to go to the next place."
"Let's go, I'll go with you, I'll help you,"
"Ah??? Senior, this is absolutely impossible. I have already asked you to help me so much. I can't trouble you anymore!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and lead the way!"
In this way, the skinny old man went to a certain tributary under the "coercion and inducement" of Su Mu, an enthusiastic citizen.
