Chapter 7431 A Qing
Mo Village.
The old village chief slapped the tiger puppet on the back, and the tiger puppet, which was walking slowly on the table, immediately stopped.
The red light in the tiger puppet's eye sockets slowly dissipated and returned to black color.
"The most important thing is a map inside the tiger puppet. This map was handed down from our ancestors in Mo Village..."
"The ancestor of Mo Village was a genius in the Mo family. He reached the pinnacle of mechanical puppetry and created many techniques of his own. But later he could not find a qualified successor and his descendants could not inherit it, so he transferred what he had learned throughout his life and his since Some of the extremely difficult puppetry and mechanical skills created were written in special animal skins and placed in an ancient tomb. "
"The map inside the tiger puppet is exactly where the ancient tomb is. map." said the old village chief.
"How many years ago was the ancestor of Mo Village from now?" Luo Xingchen asked.
Time is the most ruthless. If it had been too long ago, any ancient tomb might have been damaged by the changes in the mountains and rivers, or disappeared underground due to changes in the terrain, and could never be found again.
"About five hundred years." The old village chief said.
"If it's five hundred years, it's not that long. This map is probably valuable." Luo Xingchen said.
"Aqing wants to take away the map, but she doesn't know where it is..."
The old village chief paused and continued: "This box is the latest one from the old man. It was taken out and placed in a secret place in the back mountain. The old man didn't tell anyone."
"No wonder you took the box home a while ago."
Mochi suddenly understood. road.
When the old village chief said this, Luo Xingchen and Zi Yan thought of someone at the same time.
Puppet Master!
Back in Iron Tooth City, they met the puppet master. Of course, the one who had the most contact with the puppet master was Ouyang Heng.
At that time, Zi Yan and Luo Xingchen knew that the puppet master was a woman.
However, since the dust of Iron Tooth City settled and Princess Qiqige became the new Iron Tooth Queen, the puppet master has disappeared without a trace.
Could it be that Ah Qing is related to the Puppet Master?
Obviously, the old village chief may know the truth.
"A Qing is your adopted daughter? But we haven't seen any A Qing since we were children." Mo Chi asked doubtfully.
"That's because Ah Qing lives in Fengle County. Every few days, I will go to the county and give her some money and food. In the county, I find a mother-in-law to take care of her. In addition, I also give her I found a husband to teach her how to read and write...for six years..."
"When she was sixteen, she left suddenly and left a letter, and the old man knew something was wrong."
"She blamed me for the death of her parents and said she would seek revenge in the future." The old village chief lamented.
"Old village chief, where does this Ah Qing come from?" Luo Xingchen couldn't help but ask.
“This starts with the ancestors of Mo Village.” The old village chief said.
“Back then, our ancestor pioneered the new generation of organ skills of the Mohist family, called the Puppet Skill. He accepted several disciples, but the most talented disciple among them had evil intentions. When our ancestor later discovered it, he had him After being expelled from the school, many years later, the descendants of our ancestors knew that, That disciple was domineering in the world and was called the Puppet Master..."
"The line of Puppet Masters was passed down, and the descendants of the ancestors hid here in order to avoid the pursuit of the Puppet Masters. Deep in the mountains, it has not been discovered for hundreds of years.”
"But for hundreds of years, rumors of the puppet master have been circulating in the world."
"Thirty years ago, there was a young man in Mo Village named Mo Kui. He had been close to me since childhood. When Mo Kui was eighteen years old, he went to Tai'an City and met a contemporary puppet master. He was accepted as a disciple by the puppet master and was taught by the puppet master. Later, Mo Kui wanted to seize the complete puppetry skills left by the ancestors of the Mo family."
"He tried to harm me several times, but in the end, he suffered the consequences and was used by his master, the puppet master, and died. Before he died, he entrusted his daughter to me."
The old village chief sighed deeply. "Is my daughter Ah Qing?"
Luo Xingchen said.
"Yes, Mo Kui's daughter is Ah Qing. After Mo Kui and his wife died unexpectedly, I picked up Ah Qing in Tai'an City and brought her to Fengle County... Fengle County is relatively close to Mo Village. "I can take care of you now."
"Who would have thought that after six years of raising her, Ah Qing would still turn away from me."
"This is the old man's fault."
The old village chief stretched out his hand and wiped his eyes.
"Who did Ah Qing go with back then? Could it be Mo Kui's master, the old puppet master?" Luo Xingchen asked.
"No, at that time, the old puppet master was already dead. It was most likely one of his disciples, but I don't know who that person was. Mo Kui didn't tell me." The old village chief shook his head. .
"Maybe Mo Kui had already reserved a hand when he entrusted his daughter to you." Luo Xingchen frowned.
"Not just one hand, but at least several hands." The old village chief said.
“It seems that the old village chief knows it well.”
"The old man only figured it out later. Mo Kui had left a backup plan, not only for A Qing, but also for his junior brother. When would he take A Qing away and tell her the so-called 'truth'? It's all under his arrangement." The old village chief's eyes were a little desolate.
Back then, he truly raised A-Qing as his daughter. Who knew something like that would happen.
To this day, the hatred of the past has continued to the present, to his grandchildren.
"That Mo Kui is really deliberate, and he even tricked you into dying." Luo Xingchen finally saw it. If this person is too kind-hearted, he will be bullied.
People say that when a person is about to die, his words are also good.
Why do some people, even if they are about to die, still have such vicious thoughts in their heads?
"It's all over, I admit it. More than ten years have passed, and Ah Qing is back again." The old village chief sighed.
"She came back after studying. With enough strength and maybe a backer, she wanted to come back for revenge. She also took the map and found the complete puppetry technique." Luo Xingchen said.
"With Ah Qing's puppet master strength, it's not difficult to destroy the entire Mo Village, right? Why do you want to steal the little tiger baby quietly?" Zi Yan asked.
"She can't destroy Mo Village. We, Mo Village, still have some strength... Although our force is not high, we have traps and formations in Mo Village." The old village chief said .
"I see, then she will come to our door sooner or later. We can wait in the village."
Since this is the case, Luo Xingchen thinks that there is no need to go out to find the puppet master's foothold.
Sooner or later she will come to the door again and ask for the map using the little tiger baby as a bargaining chip.
"She can figure out Mo Village's mechanisms and formations, but she can't figure out the strength we have." Zi Yan said lightly.
"Thank you for your help, sir. Mo Village will definitely be rewarded later." The old village chief bent down and saluted.
But halfway through the bend, he was supported by Luo Xingchen.
"Old village chief, there is no need to be polite. We are court officials and have the obligation to help the people of Daqi solve their problems." Luo Xingchen said.
