After letting Mo Jia in, Zhi Xing enthusiastically presented her with juice squeezed from local fresh fruits. Yan Shengjie glanced at her openly and said, "Didn't I agree not to give this guy anything to drink?"
Zhi Xing just pretended not to hear. Mo Jia raised his eyebrows and glanced at him coldly. Without saying anything, he picked up the juice, drank up the juice, and then said to Zhi Xing, "It tastes good."
Zhixing smiled happily, "As long as you like it!"
Yan Shengjie was very disdainful that his wife was so attentive to another man. He adjusted his sitting position and lazily glanced at the man opposite him, "Hey, tell me, what happened?"
Su Xiaoyou sat next to her daddy, her eyes widened. What she wanted to know most was where mommy was!
Yan Shengjie raised his eyebrows and glanced at his son. Yan Che stood up quietly and walked to Su Xiaoyou, "Youyou, it's time for you to do your homework."
When Su Xiaoyou was here, all her homework was taught by Xiao Yanche, and Xiao Yanche taught her different subjects every day, and seemed to have a good plan for her study.
Su Xiaoyou looked at her daddy and whispered, "Okay." Before leaving, she did not forget to tell her, "Daddy, you can't leave!"
Seeing her father nodding, Su Xiaoyou felt relieved and followed Yan Che upstairs to his room.
"You have taken good care of Youyou." Mojia said in a calm voice. Anyone who knows him knows that this is the best way to express his gratitude.
Yan Shengjie smiled coquettishly and cunningly, like a fox, always shining brightly, "Youyou is my son's future wife after all, so of course I should treat her well."
No matter how cunning the other party was, Mojia remained calm, "I didn't agree."
"Haha, it will happen sooner or later." Yan Shengjie said proudly, "My son will definitely not let me down."
"Oh? Really?" Mojia raised his eyebrows with a hint of hunting glory, "I believe that my daughter will not let me down..."
Yan Shengjie was all too familiar with his reaction, which was one of determined success. He smiled suddenly and said, "Boss Mo, let's not mention your daughter's matter for now. It's useless to talk about what happened more than ten years later. I
I would like to know about your wife." Seeing Mojia's expression stiffen, he pondered for a moment, then said, "I heard about your grandfather."
One sentence means that he already knows everything inside.
Mo Jia lowered his eyes and did not respond.
Yan Shengjie asked quietly, "Have you found her?"
After a moment of silence, Mojia shook his head and said slowly, "Don't let Youyou know about this."
"You don't have to ask," Yan Shengjie stared at him, "What are you going to do next?"
"Looking for." Mo Jia just said one word calmly and indifferently, with incomparable tenacity.
Yan Shengjie nodded, "Just tell me if you need help." It is not convenient for him to get involved in other people's family affairs, and it is not their ability to judge what is right or wrong, but as long as they are friends, they are bound to help whenever they need help.
.
Mojia looked at him and nodded.
At this time, Zhixing brought some fruit again, put it in the middle, sat down and said, "Mojia, just stay here for a while, don't leave in a hurry." When she said this, she was completely selfish.
Su Xiaoyou has just stayed here for two days, and Mo Jia is about to take him away, how can she agree!
Yan Shengjie knew what she was thinking, so he turned his head and looked at Mo Jia, "Youyou is here. With Xiao Che and us accompanying her, you don't have to worry at all. However, if she goes back, she will pester you.
Ask mommy."
Mojia glanced at the couple and raised his brows, "Isn't the ghost gate too busy? You even dare to challenge my daughter!"
Zhi Xing burst out laughing, "Mojia, it's useless for you to regret now, your baby has been signed by us long ago."
Mo Jia frowned, "What do you mean?"
Yan Shengjie ran his slender fingers through his hair and said calmly, "Nothing, I just signed something with your Mr. Di. Of course, I have no intention of taking it out until Youyou turns 16."
of."
Mojia's cheeks twisted slightly.
Di Yunxiao, it seems you are too idle!
He will remember to settle this account with him later!
Yan Shengjie and Mo Jia were venomous and cruel, and even when they were sitting there chatting, they seemed to be splitting up. Zhi Xing heard bursts of laughter. At this moment, someone came in from outside, and Zhi Xing became busy.
"038!"
The man who walked in was tall and strong, but had a beard. Mojia had seen him before. When Aman was trapped, he was the one who brought Xiao Che to Mexico City to seek his help.
038 smiled at Mo Jia, "Boss Mo, it's really not easy to see you here."
Mojia nodded and said hello.
Yan Shengjie raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you leave the island? When did you come back?"
"Yesterday." 038 came over and sat next to them, "Oh, by the way, there was an earthquake on the west hill last night. Did you know?"
"Earthquake?" Zhixing said suspiciously, "I didn't feel it! Is it a volcano about to erupt?"
038 shook his head, "The earthquake on that mountain was very strong."
Yan Shengjie narrowed his eyes, "Do you suspect there is something wrong?"
"Well." 038 said straightly, "These are extraordinary times, and any abnormality is not necessarily accidental. I will go there to check in the afternoon, and I will inform you if there is any news." He was born in the military and was a member of the Navy's special operations team.
The person in charge is vigilant by nature and has a very keen sense of any abnormalities.
Yan Shengjie nodded, "Be careful."
After 038 left, Mojia suddenly asked, "Have you ever been in the catacombs of the prison?"
When they mentioned that place, Yan Shengjie and Zhi Xing both looked at each other, and then smiled knowingly. Zhi Xing said, "Not only have we gone in, but there, there is almost a separation between yin and yang."
Mo Jia did not ask about the story in detail. He just said, "Can you take me to see it?"
Yan Shengjie had also heard a little bit about the curse of the Mo family. When Mojia sent people to investigate, Yan Shengjie also knew about it, but he was not a curious person by nature, especially about the privacy of his friends. What did he do?
Without asking, he just nodded and said, "I will take you there in the afternoon."
Mojia lowered his gaze and said, "Thank you."
After lunch, Yan Shengjie drove Mojia straight to the seaside, where a row of tall stone statues were particularly eye-catching. Yan Shengjie briefly introduced, "One of the stone statues is the mechanism leading to the underground tomb.
That's where Weaver Star and I fell. However, as the catacombs were destroyed, the mechanism was also disabled."
"What about the entrance?"
"The local government plans to develop it into a tourist attraction, but this is a quite large project and requires a lot of funds. Therefore, they can only permanently seal it as a historical relic. However, I heard that it has been bought by someone."
Mojia turned to look at him, "You?"
Yan Shengjie smiled, "That place is a place with special memories for Zhixing and I. I don't want our memories to be arbitrarily touched upon."
Mojia's very pertinent evaluation was, "Selfish and a bit of a rogue."
Yan Shengjie blinked his eyes seductively, "Thank you."
While talking, the two of them drove the car to a plain a dozen miles away from the sea. A protective net was built there, and warning signs were hung outside to indicate that it was a private site.
Yan Shengjie stopped the car and walked in with Mo Jia. An elevator had been repaired inside and could go directly to the underground.
When Mo Jia approached this place, the pores on his body expanded slightly, and there was something strange in his heart, which he couldn't explain. He told himself, maybe it was because this was once a burial place, and it was not unusual to feel this way.
strangeness.
We took the elevator and stopped when it was nearly 30 meters underground. The light was getting darker and darker, with only a few energy-saving lamps on the walls. Yan Shengjie said, "Back then, this cave collapsed and almost two-thirds of the tombs were destroyed.
, sea water poured in, and everything was submerged. Later, only about half of it was cleaned up, and the remaining half is still soaking in the sea."
Mojia walked along the corridor, and the wall he touched became drier as he went inside. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. Seeming to understand his doubts, Yan Shengjie explained, "There are ventilation holes underneath, which lead directly to here."
I'm afraid I have to dig up everything underground to find out where exactly I live in the mountain pass." Suddenly, he paused and said as if he was remembering something, "There are some things that you must be interested in."
Mo Jia raised his eyebrows, Yan Shengjie just raised his lips and smiled, "Follow me."
Going down the corridor, there was a stone room. It could be seen that the damage was very serious. Yan Shengjie led him to one side of the wall. Fortunately, it was intact, and the walls were covered with rock paintings.
Yan Shengjie stopped talking. When Mo Jia saw these murals, he was shocked.
Because there are also rock paintings in the Mohist underground altar!
Is it a coincidence?
He immediately looked at it carefully and discovered that although it was also a rock painting, the content of the painting was very different. He started looking clockwise from the first one. It was a large altar, with a group of people kneeling in front of it, holding hands.
Stretch out and look up at the sky, as if praying. The leader is a long-haired man wearing a crown.
In the second picture, a woman is sitting in front of the window, crying silently.
In the third picture, four strong men lifted the woman high and walked towards the altar.
The fourth picture shows the king-like man standing tall in front of people. Next to him, a raging fire has been lit. The woman stands quietly in front of him. There is an obvious bat-shaped mark on her face.
Mojia knew that at that time, people with bat-shaped marks on their faces were usually representatives of witches. In other words, she was probably the greatest witch on this island.
In the fifth picture, the woman slowly walked into the fire and stood in the fire. She looked coldly at the man opposite her until she turned into ashes...
The painting below said that a war seemed to have broken out here. The country led the tribe to resist desperately, but was still defeated miserably. When he led his people to retreat to the altar by the sea, he stood at the place where the woman was burned to death, and he still could not help but think.
Ken left. Finally, he asked someone to set up a fire beside him...
After reading all the rock paintings, Mojia was stunned.
Why is the ending completely different?
The rock paintings of the Mohist family also depict the story of the king's witch, but there are only a few simple explanations of the death of the witch. However, the king of that tribe, the ancestor of the Mohist family, did not say what is said here.
He ordered the people to put themselves on the fire, but led the remaining tribesmen to leave the island, choose to thrive on the land, and worked hard for the Mo family, but they were unable to withstand the witch's curse, and accidents happened to the tribesmen one after another. The king was there
When he was dying, he said that the way to save the Mo family was to wait for a boy with a rune bead to be born. He would become the savior of the Mo family, find the reincarnation of the witch, and kill her! In order to remember this king
, Mojia has been growing long hair since she was a child.
Mo Jia fell into deep thought. The rock paintings here said that the king burned himself to death in order to repent to the witch. But why did the Mo family mold him into the belief of the whole clan?
Looking at Mo Jia's confused expression, Yan Shengjie walked over and patted his shoulder, "Let's go, let's leave here first and then talk."
Mojia came back to his senses and nodded. Before leaving, he looked back and stared at the murals. When his eyes met the disappointed and cold eyes of the witch, his heart was hit hard in vain. Even, separated by two time and space,
He could also feel her despair that was worse than death at that time. Otherwise, how could she be willing to walk into the fire?
When he went back, Mo Jia remained silent. Yan Shengjie tilted his head and glanced at him, "I checked the relevant information. The aborigines on the island only told some oral legends about the war and about the witches.
But there is no word about it. In my opinion, it is not because they believe in science, but because witches are a taboo for them. The underground palace was indeed built under the king's order, and the things buried in it were all the witches' belongings during their lifetimes.
Oh, by the way, the walking stick that Xiao Che always carries around was brought by Zhixing at that time."
Taboo...
Mojia's eyes turned dark. She was willing to die, but she had to be "tabooed" by the previous world that was not allowed by the world? Why on earth was she willing to give up her divine power and end her life in that humiliating way?
Did the king build that palace to commemorate her, or did he deliberately want to imprison her soul there forever?
Everything about the two people in that period of time and space was a mystery. He wanted to solve it, but he couldn't do it. He could only passively let the various consequences they left for him and Huanhuan. It was really damn unfair!
