Chapter 355 Rabbit Lamp
After bidding farewell to Master Qingming and others, Gu Zhifei and Daoist Tiantong returned to the Seven Stars Gate.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw Bai Mengmeng coming out to greet her and told her that Senior Brother Wangchuan had given her a small bag.
Bai Mengmeng didn't know what was in the small package, so she didn't open it rashly. She just wanted to wait for Gu Zhifei to come and see it together.
Gu Zhifei walked all the way inside, opened the bag, and saw three fourth-level demon pills inside.
I don't know where Wangchuan got it from, but it was probably a way to express gratitude to Gu Zhifei for risking his life to get it.
After putting the demon pill into the storage bag, Gu Zhifei remembered that she still had a fourth-level demon pill in the Changsheng Pavilion. After asking Bai Mengmeng to get it for her, she closed the door and planned to take a look at the contents of these demon pills first.
During this time, her cultivation level increased and her resources became better. It was extremely difficult for her to obtain fourth-level demon pills like the one she used to get.
There were four fourth-level demon pills in total, one of which yielded a useful talent, while the others only enhanced the attributes of her five spiritual roots.
The talent she opened was of earth attribute, called hiding.
There aren't many talents with earth attributes, and now that only one has appeared, Qilin has already been filled with half of its color.
After absorbing all the contents of the demon pill, Gu Zhifei exhaled a breath of fresh air and walked out.
She wanted to find Senior Brother Mo Ran and go to the Mo family with him. This was the main purpose of her return to the Seven Stars Gate this time.
When she went to Mo Ran's yard, Mo Ran was packing up. Unlike the way Gu Zhifei had seen him before, Mo Ran looked a little depressed, or even decadent.
As a direct descendant of the Mo family, Gu Zhifei still remembers Mo Ran's high-spirited appearance clearly. Now, it has only been two years since she last saw him, how could he have changed so much?
Gu Zhifei wanted to ask, but was afraid of touching his wound, so he didn't say much. He just greeted him, stood aside, and watched him pack his things silently.
Instead, Mo Ran himself couldn't sit still and started talking.
"I heard from my master that you wanted to go to the Mo family with me."
"Yeah." Seeing him talking, Gu Zhifei also responded, "If I go this time, I mainly want to visit your Mo family's mausoleum. There are things I need there. Is there anything taboo in your Mo family?"
After hearing that the place Gu Zhifei wanted to go was the mausoleum, Mo Ran was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There's nothing taboo. But since you're going to the mausoleum, you can come with me."
Gu Zhifei looked up at him and felt that there was another deeper meaning in his words.
As expected, Mo Ran continued, "Because I am going back this time to bury my mother."
Mo Ran's voice was a little choked, and Gu Zhifei felt that he had said the wrong thing, so he didn't answer.
Moreover, she was heading for the Mo family's tomb this time. No matter whether she said it now or not, Mo Ran would know it sooner or later, and would be caught in such an embarrassing situation sooner or later.
Rather than waiting until then and then being embarrassed, it is better to resolve the matter now to avoid any unexpected incidents.
Probably because he had opened up the topic with Gu Zhifei. After Mo Ran said this, instead of remaining silent, he talked to Gu Zhifei about his past and the scene when his mother died.
When the urgent letter came from his clan, he was in seclusion. His mother had been bedridden for about two or three years, and during these two or three years, he was in seclusion, preparing to break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core.
But when he just came out of isolation, he received the news that his mother had passed away.
He did not see his mother for the last time, and his mother even said before she died that she never wanted to see him again.
Mo Ran's eyes were red: "I used to practice very hard, wanting to become a powerful person as soon as possible, just so that I could take better care of my family in the future, and I just hope that my mother can be proud of herself.
But now she is gone, so what is the purpose of me doing all this? Who can still say that I am her pride? "
When he said this, Mo Ran's eyes turned red, and his voice became more hoarse and low, almost inaudible.
Gu Zhifei understood his feelings, but she did not agree with them. She said, "People are gone, and the living need to live well. If you continue to be decadent like this, you will really hurt your mother's heart."
Mo Ran was very clear about what Gu Zhifei said.
But outsiders can see it clearly, and insiders also know it. But knowing is one thing, and understanding is another.
Mo Ran did not reject Gu Zhifei's kindness, but he did not hear a word she said.
Gu Zhifei saw it clearly but didn’t say anything. The two of them went to Mo’s residence in silence and as expected, all they saw was white.
Mo Ran's face became increasingly gloomy. Gu Zhifei patted his shoulder and walked in with him. Soon a housekeeper came out to greet them.
"Sir, Miss Gu, please come in."
The butler bowed and motioned for them to come in. Gu Zhifei and Mo Ran did not hesitate and followed the butler's instructions and walked inside.
There were many people coming to pay their respects, coming and going. Gu Zhifei and Mo Ran walked among them, not looking out of place, as if they were just ordinary passers-by who came to burn incense.
Such thoughts made Mo Ran feel even more uncomfortable.
The person lying in the mourning hall was his closest person. He should have been kneeling before her and confessing his mistakes, but now he was no different from an ordinary person.
Perhaps in his mother's eyes, he is not as good as others.
The butler led them around the other people who came to pay their respects and went directly to the side room at the back.
The head of the Mo family was sitting there, staring at the white silk in the distant corner in a daze.
Gu Zhifei had also heard that the Mo family master and his wife had a good relationship. I think he must be extremely sad after such an incident.
Mo Ran couldn't hold back when he saw the expression on the face of the Mo family's Patriarch. With a stiff face and trembling lips, he walked up to the Mo family's Patriarch, knelt down on his knees and said, "Dad, I'm back late."
The head of the Mo family turned his face away and didn't want to pay any attention to him.
There was a slight tremor in his voice, but it was not obvious. He just asked Mo Ran: "Didn't I tell you not to come back? Why are you back again?"
Mo Ran lowered his head: "Dad, I know I was wrong. You can beat me if you want. But after the beating and scolding, I still want to see her."
This is the last time we met in the true sense.
The father and son hugged each other and cried together.
Gu Zhifei stood aside and could only sigh that the world is unpredictable.
Seeing the Mo family patriarch's look, she couldn't tell him in a short time that she wanted to go to the Mo family mausoleum, so she decided to delay the matter for a while. After Mo Ran's mother was buried in the Mo family mausoleum, she would talk to the Mo family patriarch about this matter.
There is no overnight hatred between father and son. Although Mo Ran's father was very angry that he had ignored Mo Ran for two years, he also knew that the road to immortal cultivation was difficult. Besides, there was nothing unusual before he went into seclusion.
The most taboo thing in retreat is to be disturbed. Therefore, Mo Ran's father also understood why Mo Ran's master did not forcibly interrupt his retreat. Interrupting his retreat would undoubtedly ruin his future. Not only would he lose a wife, but he would also lose a son.
So, even though he complained in his heart, he never really blamed Mo Ran.
Most of the resentment that Mo Ran's mother felt before her death was because she didn't see Mo Ran for the last time.
No one can be blamed, one can only sigh that it is fate.
Seeing the father and son feeling sad, Gu Zhifei standing aside couldn't help but say, "I remember Madam Mo has also reached the Golden Core Stage."
Although Madam Mo's Jindan stage was forcibly pushed by the Mo family's head using elixirs, she was still a real Jindan stage, with a Jindan stage physique and Jindan stage cultivation. But in just two years, how could she die so quickly?
Even an ordinary Jindan stage cultivator would not die so quickly, not to mention that Madam Mo has the best doctors in the world of immortal cultivation and the best care.
In this case, how could Mrs. Mo have such an accident? The head of the Mo family had thought about what Gu Zhifei said, but after checking them one by one, he ruled out all the possibilities.
The doctor also said that Mrs. Mo's physical decline was caused by deficiency of both Qi and blood, and had nothing to do with other external factors. She did not die from a conspiracy.
Gu Zhifei still had doubts in his heart. Talking about injuries and lack of energy and blood, could there be anyone whose partner was in a worse situation than Senior Brother Wangchuan?
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
She didn't have a golden elixir yet, but she was able to hold on for quite a while. Moreover, the care she received in all aspects was no better than that of Madam Mo.
Gu Zhifei expressed his doubts, which made the head of the Mo family feel a little shaken.
He had suspected this for a long time, but he had never found any evidence, nor any way to save Mrs. Mo. If this was really not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, he thought he might be even more sad than he is now.
But if he never knows the real answer, it will only make it more difficult for him to sleep.
"I want to see Madam Mo first before making a decision."
Gu Zhifei went straight to the point and stated his demands directly.
The head of the Mo family seemed a little embarrassed: "My wife has been placed in the coffin, I don't want anyone else to disturb her peace."
After saying this, he felt a little regretful. What if Gu Zhifei could really see something he had missed? Mo Ran, on the other hand, was more straightforward than him. He told the head of the Mo family, "This girl is the Gu Zhifei I told you about before. She is the girl who went from foundation building to golden elixir in just a few years."
The implication is that he can trust Gu Zhifei.
After Mo Ran's introduction, the head of the Mo family really began to look at Gu Zhifei. After confirming that she was the cultivator selected by Elder Xingyin whom he met in the Seven Stars Gate a few years ago, his attitude immediately changed.
"Are you sure you can see why if you look at it?"
The leader of the Mo family seemed very unconvinced.
He had invited so many doctors and physicians, but none of them could see anything unusual. With Gu Zhifei's limited skills, could there be any more differences between them? "Trust me, I won't be wrong." Gu Zhifei said, "I will definitely give you the most truthful answer."
Seeing her so sure, the head of the Mo family didn't know what to say. He turned to look at Mo Ran, but the latter didn't show any strange expression. Maybe he thought it was natural for Gu Zhifei to do such a thing.
Since they had decided to go see her coffin, they went to the mourning hall to pay their respects. As a husband and a son, they cried for a long time in the mourning hall. They knelt on the ground until they couldn't stand up at all.
Perhaps their grief infected many people. After entering the mourning hall, the atmosphere in the whole hall became strange.
Gu Zhifei stood aside and bowed three times. After bowing three times, she decided to walk around first.
This is the residence of several generations of Mo Ran.
Gu Zhifei admired in his heart, what a good taste! But he kept following. The head of the Seven Star Pavilion led them around and around until they came to a wash basin.
The time was long enough for Gu Zhifei to wash his face with his own water, and then he took out all his sundries and food separately, planning to cook something for himself if necessary in the future.
Along the way, the head of the Mo family and Gu Zhifei talked about the Zongtian Sect and the Seven Stars Pavilion. He couldn't help but sighed: "There are so many talented people now. In the past few years, there were two eighteen-year-olds in the Golden Core Stage, and they were already famous all over the world. Now there is you."
"Master Mo, you are too kind." Gu Zhifei said politely.
Master Mo didn't respond to this question, but just glanced at his disappointing child.
"If you can help me find out the cause of her death, I will obey your orders."
Gu Zhifei was very happy to get this promise.
After getting rid of this matter, the most urgent task now is to solve the cause of Mrs. Mo's death.
This matter involves too many things, and Gu Zhifei didn't want to get involved, but she needed something from the Mo family tomb now, so it was not easy for her to stay out of it.
Besides, she and Mo Ran have a good relationship. Even for this reason, she should investigate the matter for him.
"I will do my best." Gu Zhifei said.
At night, after the guests had been evacuated, Master Mo came to the mourning hall without telling anyone.
She didn't tell anyone else because she didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and if it was as Gu Zhifei said, then the person who hurt her wife must still be in the Mo family.
If they were alarmed, it would be like alerting the snake, and all their previous efforts would be in vain.
As soon as she entered the room, Gu Zhifei felt a chill slowly sweeping across her neck.
The feeling was subtle, like someone was standing behind her, silently blowing air into her neck.
No one else heard the sound, only Gu Zhifei heard it.
In fact, to be more precise, it was not Gu Zhifei who discovered the abnormality, but Zhu Jiuyin in her sleeve who discovered something wrong.
As a fellow monster, Zhu Jiuyin’s ability to sense the aura of monsters is definitely more accurate than any other person in the world.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhu Jiuyin felt something was very wrong.
He asked Gu Zhifei, "Could it be that other monsters have appeared here before? I sense a strong demonic aura here."
"Is there a demonic aura?" Gu Zhifei's first reaction was to turn around and look at Mo Ran's father, and found that there was nothing abnormal with the latter.
However, not to mention him, Gu Zhifei himself didn't feel anything unusual.
If the current situation wasn't wrong, Gu Zhifei felt that he should doubt his own judgment.
