The princess didn't know why, but her heart ached, and she felt inexplicably sad.
This sadness is not because of Mo Ming, nor is it because of Ying Ruge, who has never really met and recognized each other. This kind of sadness cannot be explained clearly, but it hurts my heart.
If I really wanted to describe it, it would be the sadness of losing half of my soul, which is difficult to repeat.
Before leaving, Jian Lao repeatedly told Hu Lao to stay by his wife's side, and Yin Li and Mo Qu'er also accompanied the princess.
The first one to notice something strange about her was Mo Qu'er. Mo Qu'er put down the girl in his hand, walked behind the princess, gently stroked her back with his hand, and comforted her.
"Madam, what's wrong with you? I don't remember your menstruation for these days."
Mo Qu'er, this girl, was also concerned but confused. She actually forgot that Hu Lao was still there. It was really not appropriate to talk about these affairs of her daughter's family.
After all, the princess is quite old and has a lot of experience, so she wouldn't care about this. She waved her hand, indicating that Qu'er didn't need to continue.
"It's okay. Maybe I have too many things these days and I'm a little tired. I'll be fine if I take a break and have a drink. Qu'er, you come with me."
Mo Quer responded and helped the princess leave. The tiger guy who was still sitting originally followed, but gave up after being stopped by the princess's gesture. After all, this is the Mo family, and although those old monsters are nowhere to be seen, they are still there.
They should all be in the dark. In this case, there is no need to worry too much about the safety of the lady.
Yin Li, on the other hand, was a little displeased. Her expression did not change and she just kept looking at the direction the two of them were leaving.
"Tiger, maybe you can accompany me to the foot of the mountain."
Hu Lao put down a blue book in his hand, with "Daye Gaoyue Ji" written on the cover. Those who can get such a blue book are all from the world. Those who can compile such a blue book are naturally the most intelligent people in the world.
, tell everything you know.
When he heard that the young lady had something to do and wanted to accompany her, she naturally agreed, then took the weapon and accompanied Yin Li down the mountain.
As for the Princess Princess, Mo Qu'er saw no one around, so she asked her own question, "Madam, why don't you let me accompany you? What else do you want to say to me?"
"
Seeing Mo Quer's quirky look, the princess's mood suddenly improved a bit. She scratched the little girl's nose with her fingers and said, "You little tabby cat, naturally it's our business."
Mo Quer was extremely respectful to the Mo family, but he never refused to treat her as a family member, whether it was the princess or Mo Ming.
When the princess said this, she stuck out her tongue and smiled naughtily.
"Qu'er, have you ever thought about leaving the Mo family?"
Hearing this, Mo Qu'er, who was originally playful and laughing, suddenly changed his expression, with a sad face, frowning, and asked: "Madam, are you trying to drive me away? I, I will not spend so much money in the future.
Understand."
The princess was immediately amused. She touched Mo Qu'er's head and said kindly: "Silly girl, what are you talking about? I have long regarded you as my daughter. It was you who kept saying that you were Ming'er.
Maid, you can’t even use the 2 taels of silver that you earn ten taels a month, so you’re spending money indiscriminately.”
Mo Qu'er raised her head and stared at the princess with her big, watery eyes, looking like a pitiful little kitten.
"Did Naqu'er do something wrong?"
The princess couldn't help but burst into laughter again, pinched Mo Qu'er's little face, and said: "My good daughter, how could you have done anything wrong? It's the Mo family, and the Mo family's disaster is not over yet, Ming
My son can't leave, but you are different. Your surname is Mo, and you are a child of my Mo family. If the Mo family can't hide, you can still live a good life outside. Only if you live well can I, a mother, feel at ease.
.”
Mo Qu'er pulled the princess' sleeve and swung it from side to side, saying coquettishly: "Then, mother, don't rush Qu'er away, okay, mother."
Hearing Mo Qu'er call her mother, the princess's heart almost melted.
"But the Mohist family..."
"Qu'er is not afraid. Qu'er should have died outside a long time ago. It was the young village owner who picked up Qu'er. Qu'er just wants to stay in the Mo family forever, mother, okay?"
Faced with Mo Qu'er's rare act of coquettishness in thousands of years, the princess was finally defeated and could only take a step back and said: "Then if Ming'er is going to leave the Mo family one day, you can go with him. In this way, can you
Do you promise, mother?"
Mo Qu'er was so smart that he couldn't understand the meaning of the princess's words, but in the end he nodded his head and agreed.
"You come here with my mother. I have some things to tell you and some things I want to explain to you."
Seeing that the princess promised not to drive her away, Mo Quer happily followed her.
This road is very strange. Mo Qu'er has lived in the Mo family for so long and never remembers such a road. She obviously knows about the Corridor House Club, but she has never found out that there is such a way. Is this a deliberate detour or something else?
Are there any hidden compartments or something like that?
The princess walked in front without saying a word, and Mo Quer followed behind without saying a word.
say.
In the end, the princess took Mo Qu'er to the ancestral hall of the Mo family. However, the Mo family's ancestral hall should not have been so crowded. Only after entering the ancestral hall did Mo Qu'er understand.
The princess is indeed taking a detour, and there is indeed another mystery.
It is true that this is the Mohist ancestral hall, but similarly, this is not the Mohist ancestral hall that she has visited countless times.
He said they were the same because there was no difference in the decoration. He said they were different because he didn't recognize any of the plaques.
There is not a single servant in this ancestral hall. It may be said to be clean or dirty, but there are indeed many places stained with dust.
The princess took three sticks of incense, lit them, and gave them to Mo Qu'er. Then she lit three more sticks herself. She knelt on the worship mat, held up the incense, and bowed respectfully three times.
Mo Qu'er simply knelt down on the stone slab beside the Princess, and followed the Princess's rising and falling, bowing respectfully three times.
The princess stood up, and Mo Qu'er also stood up, and then they put the incense into the incense burner.
The princess couldn't help but lamented at the numerous memorial tablets, and then said: "These are the ancestors of the Mo family who have never appeared before. Qu'er, help me get the rightmost piece for my mother."
Mo Qu'er responded and took the tablet on the far right.
Compared with the others, this tablet is newer. It is said to be new, but it seems to be quite a few years old. When he saw the words on it clearly, Mo Quer's brows couldn't help but frown.
What is written on this tablet is actually "Mo Tu".
Mo Tu? Mo Xuan Tu?
Isn't that Mo Ming, the owner of the double village?
She looked at the princess in confusion, and the princess responded to her with an affirmative nod.
Knowing that this girl didn't understand, the princess asked her to take the tablet and walk to the side with him. The two sat down on the chairs, and the princess took the tablet, touched it with her slender white jade green fingers, and slowly opened it.
Got it.
"This tablet does not belong to Ming'er, but to his brother, Tu'er."
"younger brother?"
Mo Ming’s younger brother?
Although Mo Quer has not been in the Mo family since he was born, he has stayed in the Mo family for such a long time. Not to mention anyone else, even Mo Ming has never said that he has a younger brother.
Could it be that this was the illegitimate son of the owner of the village, and he died, so he placed the tablet in the ancestral hall in the hidden place of the dark side? But that's not right. If so, there should only be one, but there are so many tablets here.
More than one or two pieces.
Thinking of this, Mo Quer went to count the tablets, one, two, three, four...
After counting them all, I was surprised to find that the number was almost the same as the number of tablets in the ancestral hall on the bright side. To be precise, there was a difference of two yuan.
Knowing that the girl's eyes were counting the number of tablets, the princess planned for her and said: "No need to count, there are two more tablets here than outside."
"Why? Also, why have I never heard of these ancestors?"
The princess looked at Mo Qu'er with a smile, and said in a gentle voice: "This is the secret that my mother wants to tell you. After you heard it, you have to guard it for your brother Mo Ming, but you can't tell him, understand.
?"
He should have nodded in agreement, but Mo Qu'er shook his head, which made the princess laugh angrily. Then he lightly tapped his fingers on the cat-ear-shaped bun, and Mo Qu'er touched it.
Feigning pain in head.
"Unlike you, you are poor. You must remember what my mother told you today. If you can, keep the secret in your stomach."
Mo Qu'er still didn't understand, so she asked: "Mom, since the secret is going to rot in your belly, why do you still tell me?"
"Because Ming'er didn't make a choice, if one day he discovers the secret, someone needs to tell him. If Ming'er makes a choice, regardless of this secret, then Qu'er, you have to keep it in your stomach."
Mo Qu'er nodded as if she understood. She was not stupid enough to ask why she didn't tell Mo Ming directly.
The princess looked at the memorial tablets again, and then said: "It is true that these are the ancestors of the Mohist family, but from the time they were born to the time they left, they have never seen this world. Of course, except Tu'er
.”
"ah?"
"Don't be anxious, I will tell you step by step."
Seeing Mo Qu'er nodding seriously, frowning slightly, looking particularly serious, the originally depressing topic actually became a bit more relaxed.
"The Mohist family has a secret technique since ancient times, which is called the art of dividing water from yin and yang. The Mohist family seems to be closely related to this secret technique. A pair of twins are born in every generation. Your father Mo Sang is no exception, and neither is Ming'er.
exception."
Mo Qu'er really didn't understand. She had never heard that Mo Sang had twin brothers. Naturally, she had never seen Mo Ming have twin brothers. In this case, the two extra plaques can be explained.
"Then Mo Tu is Shaozhuang, brother Xuan Tu's younger brother. That piece of mohua over there is my father's younger brother, right?"
The princess is very satisfied with Mo Qu
She nodded in recognition of her son's intelligence. It was quite helpful for her to be called a mother and a father, and she was happy in her heart.
She wanted a daughter before Mo Ming was born, but after learning the secrets of the Mo family, she had no choice but to give up. She wanted Qu'er to call her mother many years ago, but there were many entanglements, and she never got her wish.
"The art of dividing water between yin and yang is to combine the twins' talents, qualifications, Qiyuan, and future. Therefore, the ancestors of the Mo family, as well as your father, are both dragons and phoenixes among men, unparalleled. If they intend to compete for fame in the world
There are few enemies for profit. However, the ancestral precepts of the Mohist family require that the Mohist family continue to prosper. So do you understand why, although Ming'er is not bad in talent and hard work, she cannot reach the level of your father? "
Mo Qu'er nodded, she understood.
"Because there is only one brother Xuan Tu, and there are two fathers."
The princess didn't know how to respond to such a statement, but this statement was not wrong.
"But your brother Mo Tu is back. He gave the general Qi Yuan and the future to Ming'er. He gave everything he could to the Mo family, but all of this cannot be called repayment."
"Brother Mo Tu?"
Mo Quer murmured this name, has he been here? Who is he?
Then Mo Quer's eyes lit up, and the first thing she thought of was that person. Naturally, that person was indeed the brother Mo Tu whom the princess mentioned.
The princess also guessed who Mo Qu'er was thinking of, nodded and said: "Yes, Linghu Changkong is your brother Mo Tu. Or should I say, Ying Ruge is your brother Mo Tu."
"It turns out that Ying Ruge is Linghu Changkong, and it turns out that Linghu Changkong is brother Mo Tu. He gave everything he had to brother Xuan Tu? Then will he die?"
Regarding Mo Ming and Ying Ruge, this should be the last thing the Princess wants to mention. But this secret must continue, and if it wants to continue, she must tell everything to the person who can protect this secret.
This person was originally Jian Lao, but Jian Lao left the Mo family, so she could only find one more person, someone she could trust. That person would not be Hu Lao, or one of those masters hiding in the Mo family to avoid the catastrophe. That person
, it can only be Mo Quer who has a clean foundation and is no different from his daughter.
Why?
It's ridiculous to say the reason, but it's just two words: trust.
"Then when should I tell Brother Xuan Tu?"
"When something happens to Ming'er's child, if his child is just a child in the future, then there is no need to continue this secret. If unfortunately in the future, his child is also a pair of twins, then he himself will find out the clues. You have to keep it secret
Tell him this secret. But I hope you can persuade him."
"good."
Mo Qu'er didn't refuse or ask any more questions. She only had a simple answer, "Okay."
"Come, put the tablet back. There is a mechanism under the worship mat. Press the lotus flower and there will be a wooden box inside. Take it out."
Mo Qu'er did as he was told and put the memorial tablet back in place. He then took out a dusty wooden box from the machine under the memorial tablet.
He took it over and opened the wooden box according to the princess' wishes. There was only an old book lying there.
The book clearly says "The Art of Dividing Water from Yin and Yang".
"From today on, my mother will teach you this secret technique, but I hope that it will never be used."
"Then if I don't practice it, or if we simply burn it, won't it be unused forever?"
The princess could only smile helplessly, caressing the little kitten's head, and said: "If that's all, then before Ming'er was born, I would have done this for my mother."
"Then, is there any other reason?"
The princess nodded, with a somewhat sad look on her face, and said: "In addition to your brothers Mo Ming and Mo Tu, the ancestors of the Mo family have also thought about having twins living together, but these children will all die before reaching full term. Only
Only by abandoning one thing and turning it into fertilizer for another flower to bloom can we continue our life."
"So, the fact that Brother Xuan Tu and Brother Mo Tu are both alive and well is because of the blessing of the ancestors of the Mo family?"
Is the Mo family favored by the ancestors? Such a curse, which has affected children for dozens of generations, luckily did not appear in her children's generation. Is it the favor of the ancestors?
"Wei Niang has already betrayed the ancestral precepts once. What Wei Niang hopes most is that the ancestral precepts lose their meaning of existence."
Mo Qu'er nodded, but there was a little worry in his big watery eyes. He hesitated for a few moments and then spoke: "If, if the descendants of the Mo family only have the talent of one person in the future,
Does that mean that figures like father will no longer exist? Then..."
The princess had never done it before, but she smiled and said: "The change of dynasty is also a matter of time, let alone a small family like our Mo family. If the descendants of the Mo family do not constantly strive for self-improvement, even if they are extremely talented, it will be useless.
But if, be it Ming'er or Tu'er, their descendants all believe that man can conquer nature, then what meaning does this ancestral precept have?"
