Chapter 094 Chapter 94
Mo Xuanji's eyes went dark after being hit, and in a trance he seemed to hear the sound of something falling to the ground in his sea of consciousness.
"System?"
The poor face control system was immediately hit offline and could not give him any response. Mo Xuanji silently closed the evil "dump truck".
The story of the comic is still going on.
[Hahaha, judging from Xuanji's reaction, I guess Sanhuo didn't discuss this with him beforehand]
[Xuan Ji: What’s going on, brother? That’s not what we said at the beginning.]
[I was so amused when they said that the thousand-year-old iron tree finally blossomed. All I could think of was “Master, I haven’t laughed like this in a long time.”]
[I understand, I understand. This is about a beautiful but slow-witted shou and a loving but sullen gong, right?]
[But the Feather Tribe here tacitly accepts that their clan leader is the top——]
[Hey, hey, hey, such a handsome boy, you told me he is the young version of Sanhuo???]
Mo Xuanji was a little surprised that the comic actually included a memory of Yan's childhood.
In the picture, amid the tribesmen's chattering, Yan closed his eyes and a memory emerged from the darkness.
Perhaps it was too long ago, this memory has long faded into black and white, only the blood on Phoenix's chest is still dazzling red. The young Yan looked at this scene with anger and fear, wanting to rush up to save Phoenix. But he was too weak at that time, and the pressure released by Dragon Lord when he lost control was enough to make him unable to move, and his flesh and blood were about to explode.
At the last moment before her consciousness disappeared, Phoenix seemed to look back at him, and her lips moved as if she said something.
That was the last time Yan saw the Phoenix. Even after he woke up, his tribe members told him that the Phoenix later sealed the Dragon Lord, but he still didn't feel anything. In fact, the ominous feeling in his heart became stronger.
Sealed, and then, why didn't he come back?
No one could answer. For a moment, the whole place fell into silence, until the elder beside him trembled and handed him a letter. On the envelope were the words "Xiao Sanhuo's personal letter". The nickname that had originally made him jump up and down became extremely heavy at this moment, pressing him so hard that he couldn't breathe.
In the letter, Phoenix explained everything to him in a lighthearted and teasing tone, including every detail, but she didn't say when she would be back. And in the three thousand years since then, Yan never saw him again.
Yan suddenly wanted to know what Feng Huang had said that day. For the first time, he hated his weak body. He thought, if he had been stronger and held on longer, would everything have been different?
[Ah... three fires... QAQ]
[He hates the Dragon Lord who hurt the Phoenix, but he also hates himself for being unable to do anything.]
[It feels like Sanhuo is the only one trapped in the past. Everyone else has walked out, but he is the only one who can’t.]
[So, so is this how he got his muscles? (crying)]
【On the harm of domestic violence to children】
[Sorry, I'm just a comic book fan, not here to get stabbed]
Mo Xuanji lowered his eyes and gently covered his chest. It was a bit stuffy, probably because the ventilation was not good.
This memory reveals a lot of information. The Dragon Lord in the picture covered his forehead in pain, as if something was fighting for control of his body, and the originally pure white dragon horns gradually turned an ominous dark black.
Mo Xuanji's gaze consciously fell on Long Zun's right earlobe - it was empty there, with nothing.
[We guessed wrong before. I don’t think Long Zun simply turned against us. Judging from his condition at that time, he was more like being controlled by a strange force, just like the old bear mentioned above.]
[I feel that Dragon Lord still had a bit of rationality left at that time. Look here, the shape of his pupils changed immediately after he stabbed Phoenix, and his expression was shocked and unbelievable.]
[That wife must have been miserable when she sealed him with her own hands]
[Wuwuwu, now the young lovers have become enemies. The only consolation is that they haven’t had a big fight yet.]
[Please don't say that. If the old thief has nothing better to do and browses the comments section, you will be providing him with inspiration.]
[I am so heartbroken that I can't breathe. But the next episode is about Chang'an. There shouldn't be any knives in Chang'an, right?]
[Judging from the style of the cover, it should be a sweet cookie. The old thief still has some conscience. He knows to stab the child and then give him some candy.]
[The cover is well received. I urgently need to suck the bald golden retriever to restore its vitality]
The cover of this episode looks very warm at first glance, with warm tones throughout.
In the picture, Zhu Changan is holding a gift box and running forward excitedly, with a light in his eyes. Behind him is a simple and elegant birthday card with a handwritten birthday greeting on it and a cute golden retriever's head sketch at the end.
In short, it looks very positive and sunny, and warmed the hearts of many netizens.
At the beginning of the story, Zhu Changan was carefully selecting items in a gift shop with a note in his hand. The salesperson next to him saw him and said with a smile, "Oh, it's Changan. Are you here to buy a birthday present for your grandfather this year as well?"
Zhu Changan nodded and smiled innocently: "Well, I'll need your help this year as well."
For this part of the plot, Liuhe even deliberately used a Q-version style of painting.
[This call of "sister" makes me feel so sexy (An Xian falls to the ground)]
【Our little golden retriever is always the best baby! 】
【Changan comes every year】
[The bright and sunny little puppy! Now I really envy Changan’s grandfather——]
When he finally picked out a satisfactory gift, it was already dark. Zhu Changan looked at the sky, said goodbye to the shopping guide, and hurried home.
【Your little golden retriever suddenly appears! 】
[So cute, I give this wave full marks, but it’s a pity that grandpa was not at home and I didn’t see it]
[Uh, it's too early. His grandfather is at home, but why doesn't he turn on the lights? Maybe his grandfather wants to scare him too.]
[Is this a two-way rush from the grandfather and grandson? 】
[Oh wow, it really is that director. Changan, you are so good at hiding things.]
[Am I too sensitive? This composition and this atmosphere feel a little off…]
Under the incandescent light, Zhu He and Zhu Chang'an were on the left and right, each occupying half of the picture. The old man sat facing Zhu Chang'an, his eyes hidden in the shadows, and his emotions could not be seen clearly.
He looked like he had been sitting here since he got off work and hadn't even changed out of his uniform.
Zhu Changan was acutely aware that something was not right. He didn't know what was going on, but he instinctively felt uneasy.
He stroked his hair and smiled heartlessly again: "Grandpa, why don't you turn on the lights at home? By the way, I bought you a birthday present on the way..."
Before he could finish the last four words, Zhu He interrupted him. At this moment, Mo Xuanji outside the screen finally knew what happened to Zhu Changan.
He simply couldn't believe that such words came out of the old man's mouth. He had only met Zhu He once, and although Zhu He was serious and old-fashioned in his impression, he was not such a mean person. However, the words he said to Zhu Changan now were really heartbreaking.
Looking at Zhu Changan's painful expression, Mo Xuanji subconsciously clenched his fists.
Not surprisingly, the comment section is about to explode.
[Oh my god, you old thief, are you here to give out benefits or knives? Where is the holiday special you promised me? Why are you giving out knives one after another? Who is this nice guy who is giving out knives when the New Year is almost here! 】
【Group send knives, who wants to come? 】
【I'll press it first】
[Ahhh, why are there so many of them? This old thief has no conscience at all. He did it on purpose! It’s none of my business!]
【Die, old thief! 】
[Changan, my Changan, don't be sad, ee is so heartbroken, this is not your fault]
[Chang'an was also picked up from the mountains? Lizi Mountain, what kind of place is this? ]
Although the handwriting on the address column on the adoption certificate was blurry, the three words "Lizishan" could still be vaguely recognized.
Netizens didn't pay attention to this little detail and just mentioned it and let it go. But these three words were like a thunderbolt in Mo Xuanji's mind.
At that moment his hands couldn't even stop shaking.
"Pear Mountain..."
Nineteen years ago, grandma picked him up in Lizi Mountain, and a year later, Zhu Changan’s parents also picked him up here.
The same place, just one year apart.
"System." Mo Xuanji called out instinctively, but for some reason, the system did not respond.
Mo Xuanji took a deep breath and managed to calm his thoughts. Actually, being in the same place at about the same time didn't mean anything. Maybe it was just a coincidence?
…
"You don't have any demonic energy. If you don't take the initiative to say it, no one will know that you are not human. It's up to you to decide whether to be a human or a demon, right?"
…
"That child smells wrong. He doesn't smell like a human, but he doesn't smell like a demon either."
…
Mo Xuanji lowered her head and slowly inserted her fingers into her hair.
Is this really just a coincidence? From the beginning, they seemed to be pushed forward by an invisible hand.
Mo Xuanji actually knew all along that both himself and Yuheng were just pawns in this game. The only thing he could be sure of was that these arrangements were all in his favor, otherwise he would not have pretended to know nothing and played along with the system for so long.
The system had been planning to find him for a long time, so why did Liuhe choose Chang'an? And who was responsible for the "coincidence" between him and Chang'an? What was the purpose of the altar?
…
Zhu Chang'an fled in panic and the door was slammed shut.
The comic camera still stays in this room. The old man sits on the sofa in the same posture for a long time. Finally, he takes out the phone from his pocket tremblingly and dials a number.
On the mobile phone screen that flashed by, there was a TXT file labeled "Energy Detection Report", but the handwriting was very blurry and the angle was awkward, so few people noticed it.
[Family members, I think there must be something hidden in this matter. Although the old thief has not been a human for a long time, he will definitely not abuse others mindlessly.]
【I second your opinion. You think maybe something is going to happen, and Grandpa wants to protect Changan, so he deliberately drives him away. After all, with Changan's personality, he will definitely not sit idly by. To put it more seriously, although it is indeed heartbreaking, Changan may not have the energy to take care of other things.】
[The last phone call should also be asking someone to protect Changan, right? ]
[I was saying that this grandpa looked familiar. Wasn't he the one who told Chang'an the cause of his parents' death in the first chapter? I felt that he might have some resentment towards Chang'an, and his words and deeds all sounded like "they died because of Chang'an". But from the previous information, he had always kept Chang'an by his side. ]
[If he really hates the child, but has to take care of him out of responsibility, he can just throw him to an orphanage or someone else to take care of him, and turn a blind eye to him. Instead of keeping him in front of him day and night, unless he has a tendency to self-abuse.]
