strongest partner

Director Yang's expression froze, he looked at Fang Shaoyan who was sitting next to him, and couldn't help asking: "You asked me to do a lot of things, who knows which one you are referring to?"

Seeing Director Yang's slightly alienated eyes, Fang Shaoyan thought that the content of the next conversation might not be within his reach, so he stood up and said to the two, "Well, I'll go out first..."

Before Fang Shaoyan finished speaking, Qi Mu grabbed his arm suddenly.

"Sit down!" Qi Mu said with a hint of force majeure in his tone, "Huh? But..."

"Sit down!" Qi Mu seemed to realize that his tone was too loud, so he softened his tone, pulled him to sit down, and said, "There is nothing to avoid! I remember you said before, I hope nothing happens to me I'm keeping it from you, so, on this matter, I hope you can also know!"

Director Yang had a strange look in his eyes, "Qi Mu, are you sure... do you really want to let him know?"

Qi Mu nodded, "Anyway, you will know sooner or later, why not be honest and tell him earlier!"

Fang Shaoyan was at a loss when he heard it, and the two of them seemed to be playing a charade, "Well... what are you trying to say? Can you just say it, it's like playing a charade, I really can't guess what you want to do?"

"Don't worry, I won't hide it from you!" Qi Mu said to him with a smile, "What do you think, Shaoyan, about the weird temperature these days?"

"This is the hottest summer I've ever encountered!" Fang Shaoyan said, "It lasted more than 40 degrees for a month. I have never encountered such a hot weather before! And so far there has not been a single drop of rain. Normal! What did the weatherman's scientist say?"

Qi Mu shook his head, "People from the Academy of Sciences still say the same thing! However, I don't know that this place, other cities, and even other countries haven't rained a drop of rain. Isn't this just due to the impact of the environment?"

"Qi Mu, what exactly do you want to say?"

Qi Mu stared at the teacup on the table, and said calmly, "This happened thousands of years ago, but at that time, there were ten suns in the sky!"

Fang Shaoyan froze, nodded and said: "I've heard of this story! According to legend, there were ten suns in the past, and they were the sons of the Eastern Heavenly Emperor Jun. Their mother, Xi He, often bathed them in the East Sea. , they perched on the tree like birds, one perched on the highest treetop, and the other nine perched on the shortest branches, so they changed every night. The sun rides a two-wheeled vehicle across the sky. Ten suns change every day and take turns across the sky, bringing light and heat to everything on the earth. At that time, people lived happily and harmoniously on the earth. People and animals are like neighbors and friends Live together like that. Animals put their offspring in their nests and don't have to worry about people hurting them. Farmers pile their grain in the field without worrying that animals will steal it. People work on a regular schedule, plowing at sunrise and life is happy. People and animals see each other with sincerity and respect each other. At that time, people were grateful to the sun for bringing them hours, light and joy. However, one day, these ten suns thought that if they traveled together The sky must be very interesting. So when the dawn came, the ten suns climbed into the car together and embarked on a journey across the sky. At this moment, people and everything on the earth suffered. The ten suns are like ten fireballs , The heat they released together scorched the earth. The forest caught fire, burned to ashes, and burned many animals. Those animals that were not burned in the fire ran among the crowd, frantically looking for food. 〇;The river dried up , the sea dried up. All the fish died, and monsters in the water came ashore to steal food. Many people and animals died of thirst. Crops and orchards withered, and food for people and domestic animals was cut off. Some people went out to search for food. They were burned alive by the high temperature of the sun; others became the food of wild beasts. People struggled to survive in the sea of ​​fire. Until the descendants appeared Speaking of this, Fang Shaoyan suddenly realized that the situation in the story seemed to coincide with the current situation Together, the difference is that there is still one sun today, not the ten in the story...

"Could it be..." Fang Shaoyan seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't be sure, "This weirdly hot weather is actually caused by the sun?"

Qi Mu suddenly fell silent.

"Qi Mu! Qi Mu!" Fang Shaoyan yelled, "What are you thinking?"

Qi Mu came back to his senses, and smiled slightly, "It's nothing... In fact, Shaoyan, what you thought just now was exactly what I thought!"

"Ao Run, you really can't contact those three dragon kings?" Qi Mu turned to Director Yang and said.

Director Yang spread his hands, "I really can't do anything! In fact, even if I can contact them, they won't help! So, Qi Mu, you should find another way! Ah, just like I said before, you Better to find that person..."

"Ao Run?" Fang Shaoyan stared at Director Yang suspiciously, "Is this your name, Director? Why does it sound so familiar to me... Ao Run... um? Isn't this the name of the Dragon King of the West Sea in mythology?"

Director Yang coughed a few times in embarrassment, looking a little uncomfortable, "It's not anymore..."

"Ah? So, you are really the Dragon King of the West Sea?" Fang Shaoyan stared at Director Yang dumbfounded, with a subtle expression on his face. Although he knew that the person Qi Mu was familiar with must not be an ordinary person, Fang Shaoyan did not expect Director Yang to suddenly Also a god I

"He is an ordinary person now!" Qi Mu said unhappily, "You don't have to look at him with admiration, even if you are the Dragon King, that's the past!"

Fang Shaoyan pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose helplessly, "I'm just curious, what kind of jealousy are you..."

Qi Mu took Fang Shaoyan's hand, and said affectionately: "If you are curious, how about I take you to the old site of Xihai another day?"

"You two...can you stop showing your affection in front of me!" Director Yang rubbed his eyes, "Bullying me alone! It's business! Isn't it business?"

Fang Shaoyan pushed Qi Mu's hand away, his face flushed slightly, "So, what if the sun god is causing trouble? What should we ordinary people do?"

"It's not the sun god! It's the sun!" Qi Mu corrected, "Or you can call him the Golden Crow! The Sun God is the leader of the gods in charge of the Penglai Fairyland, and the Golden Crow can be considered his child! This time, it was the Golden Crow. made!"

"Oh..." Fang Shaoyan finally understood, "Now that we know who is responsible, it will be much easier! Aren't you a god, Qi Mu? Just report the situation to the Emperor of Heaven. This is not the way to go. ! I feel that if those gods knew about the current situation, they wouldn't let the Golden Crow go on messing around!"

Qi Mu frowned and fell silent again.

Seeing him like this, Fang Shaoyan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Am I...wrong?"

Director Yang explained from the side: "Without the order of the Emperor of Heaven, the god of the underworld is not allowed to step into the realm of the gods, nor the realm where other gods are! This is the rule! Ah, it's not right, or this is the heaven against you. The rules set by people!"

"Why?" Fang Shaoyan inexplicably felt that this rule was very unfair to Qi Mu, "Why did you only give such a weird order to you? God also treats people differently?"

"Oh, it doesn't matter!" Qi Mu laughed at himself, "Anyway, I don't like those talkative gods! It's better not to see them!"

Fang Shaoyan felt that there must be something hidden in it, but Qi Mu didn't want to say it, and he wouldn't force him to ask. It probably wouldn't be a good thing, so he decided not to poke someone's scar.

"Then what should we do? Qi Mu, you can't go to the God Realm, and you can't go to the realm of other gods, so how to solve this problem?", Qi Mu said with lowered eyes, "I originally thought, with Ao Run and that god The friendship of the three dragon kings, invite them here, and first solve the problem of severe drought..."

Director Yang hurriedly shook his head, "I'm telling you that this way won't work. Only the way I said will work!"

"Director Yang, do you have a better idea?" Fang Shaoyan asked in surprise.

"Of course!" "What way?" Fang Shaoyan asked impatiently.

"Now that we know that it is the Golden Crow who is responsible, all we need to do is find him! This situation will never happen if the Golden Crow stays in the God Realm. Now there is only one explanation, that is, the Golden Crow has gone to the Human Realm, so this kind of situation will happen. Abnormal high temperature! As long as you find a way to persuade Jinwu to return to the God Realm, there will be no problems!" Director Yang took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and sighed: "Well, the tea is really good. I have kept it for so long. I'm not even willing to drink it, today is a good day for you!"

"So that's how it is!" After hearing Director Yang's words, Fang Shaoyan showed joy on his face, "This method is indeed feasible, but how can we find the Golden Crow? Director, do you know what the Golden Crow looks like?" Does it look like?"

Director Yang almost choked on the tea, "Huh?"

"I mean, since we want to find the culprit, we must know what he looks like, right?"

"What does it look like..." Director Yang recalled for a moment, and said: "His original form is a three-legged bird with golden light all over his body. If it is the original form, he can be recognized at a glance! But since he ran to the human world, Certainly not the original form... If he turns into a human form, ah, I don't know what he looks like!"

"Uh..." Fang Shaoyan looked at Qi Mu, and Qi Mu hurriedly said, "I don't know what he looks like! And he must have hidden his divine power, and I don't know where he is! If it is an ordinary person's posture, no one in this world There are so many people, how easy is it to find him?, Fang Shaoyan's head drooped immediately, and it turned out that things were not as easy as imagined...

"So... this special task? I'll leave it to you!" Director Yang said solemnly, "If the root cause is not resolved, the situation will only get worse. Only when the root cause is found, the current anomaly can return to normal. You don't have to work so hard! Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Director! I will try my best to find Jinwu!" Fang Shaoyan promised.

Qi Mu, on the other hand, was silent and did not speak.
