【264】All Missing(1/2)
In the quiet room of the courtyard No. 36, Mo Yan sat cross-legged and refining the ornaments in his hand.
It was late at night, and the moon was misty outside the window, and a light breeze was passing by.
Mo Yan suddenly opened his eyes and hung the ornament back on his chest, but frowned slightly.
Yunluo, who had long been used to protecting his father, saw this and said curiously: "Dad, it's not dawn yet..."
Mo Yan usually sacrifices the jewelry in his hand and will end soon after dawn. At this time, there are still two or three hours before dawn, Yunluo naturally feels a little strange. As her father's close-fitting little cotton jacket, she already knows that there is a novel world hidden in her father's jewelry. So these days, she is particularly looking forward to it, hoping that her father can complete the exercise soon, and then she can enter that magical world and find the green-skinned frog called Qingtong to play...
Mo Yan put away the jewelry and shook his head slightly, "I feel a little uneasy today, and I always feel that something is going to happen."
Yunluo couldn't help but worry and said, "Dad, could it be that Aunt Mochou had something happened to me?"
Every time Mo Yan comes back from going out, he will tell Yunluo about his experience. This is also a kind of teaching by words and deeds, and hopes that Yunluo can get some inspiration and experience from his experience.
Yunluo had already known about Aunt Mochou's kidnapping and the killing on the deserted island. When he saw his father's uneasy, he immediately thought of Aunt Mochou whom he had never met. Could something happen to him?
In her little head, besides herself, the people my father cares about the most are Aunt Mai Sui, Aunt Xiaoyin, and Aunt Mochou who is far away in Kyoto.
"Stop talking stupidly, Aunt Mochou is not the reincarnation of the broom star. Where did so many disasters come from?"
Mo Yan smiled and touched Yunluo's little head...
He felt a little uneasy and vaguely felt that something was going to happen. But this matter did not involve his own safety and had nothing to do with the people close to him. Therefore, he could joke with Yunluo with a smile.
As a soul cultivator, what he believes most is not his own cultivation, but a more mysterious and indescribable response from the depths of his soul.
"Dad, since it's not a big deal, then do you still sacrifice and refine?" Yun Luo asked with eyes wide open.
Mo Yan shook his head and said, "It has been several days since I really slept well. Since I have stopped, I will just take a rest."
He paused slightly. Seeing Yun Luo's disappointment, he smiled and said, "Don't be too anxious either... In another month, my dad will let you go in and have enough fun."
Yunluo blinked and said with a smile: "I'm not playing, I'm going in to practice!"
Mo Yan smiled and said, "Yes, yes, it's cultivation, my daughter is the most diligent..."
Yunluo asked again: "Dad, is that world really more suitable for spiritual practice?"
Mo Yan said: "It should be so, but you need to experience these things yourself. Dad is not a natural spirit body, and the ornament has not been sacrificed and refined, so you dare not be too sure about some things."
As he said that, he stood up, pushed open the window of the quiet room, and looked towards Hulushan.
At this glance, his brows frowned.
Yunluo came to the window and said, "Dad, your eyebrows are frowning again..."
Mo Yan said: "Have you noticed that the yin energy in Hulu Mountain is even stronger tonight?" At this time, the yin energy in Hulu Mountain was spreading, and its concentration was much higher than in the previous few days. At this time, you can feel the misty and bitter yin energy without even opening your mind.
Yunluo looked at Hulushan, his head turned, but said disapprovingly: "It's nothing, Dad, every once in a while, Hulushan is like this..."
Mo Yan said: "How long does it take for you to say 'every time'?"
Yunluo blinked his eyes and calculated in his heart, saying, "It's almost thirty years... Dad, did that old man Du say that the Yinsha tides underground in Yunluo Dao Palace are every thirty years, and these days are just around the corner."
Mo Yan pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement, "Maybe this is the extreme and declining... Before the tide weakens, the intensity of the yin energy rises sharply, which is also normal. This is the same as the darkness before dawn. The time before dawn is often the darkest."
Yunluo didn't bother with the darkness before dawn, dragged Mo Yan's sleeve and said, "Dad, what's the beauty of facing this mountain every day? Tell me a story."
After being interrupted by her, Mo Yan took back his gaze and said with a smile: "The story in my belly has been hollowed out by you long ago, where can I tell it?"
Yunluo blinked and said, "Why aren't there any? Isn't there that cat monster... Dad, do you think it will appear again?"
Mo Yan smiled and said, "I don't know this... Do you really want it to appear? Haha, if it really comes to our house, the first thing it does is to eat all the fish you raise."
Yunluo said curiously: "Why does it eat all my fish?"
Mo Yan smiled and said, "Because cats like to eat fish the most, they can't walk when they smell the fishy smell. It's similar to what you see when you see sweets..."
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
No words all night.
The next day was approaching noon, Mo Yan got up and pushed open the window, looking towards Hulu Mountain, but found that Hulu Mountain had returned to normal at this time.
Under the sunlight, Hulu Mountain is green and vivid, as if it had just been completed.
There was no yin energy in the mountains, and the birds in the forest and insects in the grass seemed to be more active. Even in the courtyard No. 36, you could clearly hear the cheerful chirping of these creatures...
Since the beginning of the refining of the jewelry, Mo Yan hasn't slept for a long time. When he saw the vivid picture in front of him, he couldn't help but stretch and then sucked a few breaths of fresh air.
"Dad, I've brushed my teeth!"
Outside the door, Yunluo, who had no need to sleep, had already sensed that Mo Yan had gotten up, so he was very attentive to squeeze toothpaste for his father and prepare mouthwash.
During this period, she was studying "Selected Poems of Twenty-Four Filial Piety in the Complete Presentation" and decided to imitate the ancients and make herself into her father's most caring little cotton-padded jacket.
Mo Yan walked out of the bedroom and saw Yunluo holding a mouthwash cup and toothbrush. He stood obediently in front of the door, and immediately "Old Wai was very comfortable". He smiled and said, "My daughter is so well-behaved. My father really didn't love you in vain..."
After washing up, he opened the refrigerator, checked the food reserves, and found that there was not much inventory, so he said, "Yunluo. There is not much food in the refrigerator. What do you want to eat? I'll go to the supermarket to buy it."
Yunluo tilted her head and listed all the food she wanted to eat in her heart. She was about to answer, but the doorbell suddenly rang.
"A customer is here, I'll open the door!" Yunluo jumped out and was about to run out.
Mo Yan grabbed her and smiled and said, "Stupid girl, you are like a holographic projection like this. Wouldn't you scare people to death when you run to open the door? Okay, stay honestly, dad will open the door by himself..."
In fact, Yunluo can now condense into a complete entity.
On the surface, this entity has flesh and blood, and even has temperature and breathing. At least in the eyes of ordinary people, there is absolutely no flaw.
But Mo Yan didn't plan to let her show up in front of others.
First, he has not yet figured out how to explain the origin of this little girl.
Second, I feel that it is somewhat irresponsible to let Yunluo appear in front of people before she advances to the Yin God. The so-called spiritual objects are hidden. In essence, Yunluo has not completely escaped from the category of spiritual objects in the world. At this time, he appears rashly, and there is a high probability that he will cause disasters in the dark.
So after thinking about it for a while, Mo Yan finally decided that Yun Luo would not be promoted to Yin God for a day and would not be allowed to appear in front of someone who would not be allowed to appear in front of her for a day.
Originally, he felt that his decision was a bit cruel. It was not only inhumane to lock an innocent and lively child in this small courtyard, but also not conducive to Yunluo's physical and mental growth. However, with the discovery of the other world in the adornment, Yunluo finally had a space to play freely, and Mo Yan no longer had such concerns.
After Yunluo was pulled by Mo Yan, she was not idle either. She disappeared, jumped and followed Mo Yan and came to the front yard.
After Mo Yan opened the door, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and said, "It's really a rare guest... Luke, what wind blows you?"
The person standing outside the door was Lu Liang. Behind him was a man and a woman, the girl was Chu Yu, and the man was a strong and honest middle-aged man.
Lu Liang's expression was a little solemn at this time, and Chu Yu also frowned, as if he had encountered some trouble.
Only the middle-aged man's expression was slightly normal. He smiled slightly and looked at Mo Yan.
"We won't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. We came to ask for help..."
Lu Liang smiled bitterly, then gave up the middle-aged man behind him and said, "I'll introduce you to me, this is my immediate boss, Director Fang Zhengfang."
"It turns out it's Director Fang..." Mo Yan smiled and stretched out his hand, saying, "I have been recognizing Daming for a long time."
Fang Zheng shook hands with Mo Yan and smiled and said, "Mr. Mo is a real master and a strange man. I should say this sentence that I have long admired Daming."
After a few greetings, Mo Yan let the three of them into the living room and said, "You guys are here to wait a moment, I'll make tea for you."
Lu Liang said, "Mo Yan, don't be busy, we are here this time..."
Mo Yan interrupted him and said with a smile: "Even if it's a big deal, I don't care about the time of making a cup of tea, right? It's the first time I've been here, so I can't lose my respect."
Lu Liang was still trying to speak, but was pulled by Fang Zheng and smiled and said, "Mr. Mo, that's a blessing... I'm going to say that since I got up, I haven't had a drop of water and my throat is dry."
"I don't have any good tea here, but the water pipe is full..." Mo Yan walked into the kitchen with a smile.
He took the tea cup out of the cabinet, rinsed it a little, and put the tea leaves on it...
At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.
After looking at the number, Mo Yan couldn't help but frown slightly and muttered: "Isn't this girl in another place with Mai Sui?"
The person who called was not someone else, but Su Jin, who hadn't seen him for a while.
"Miss Su, why do you remember to call me?" Mo Yan asked while clamping his phone in his ear.
Su Jin's voice was a little anxious and said, "Mo Yan, I want to see you."
Mo Yan smiled and joked, saying, "You want to see me? No problem...but you have to get the consent of my leader first."
Su Jin's voice was very sincere and said, "Mo Yan, I really have something to ask you for help, don't joke, okay?"
Mo Yan frowned and said, "Aren't you in another place now?"
Su Jin said: "I'll go back in the afternoon. Mai Xu is with me."
Mo Yan said: "What the hell is it? It's so urgent?"
Su Jin said: "I can't explain it clearly in one or two sentences. Can we talk about it when we meet?"
Through the kitchen door, Mo Yan glanced at the guests sitting in the living room and said, "First. I may not have time. Secondly, you and I are not even ordinary friends, why should we help you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of wheat ears came from the microphone and said, "Mo Yan, it's me..."
Mo Yan smiled and said, "I know it's you. I've heard your voice for a long time, sneaky."
Mai Sui said angrily: "Where is sneaking? Hey, the long-legged girl is really in trouble. Can you help her once?"
Mo Yanqi said: "There are still things in this world that she can't solve? Just say something. Will there be a lot of flower protectors come to help?"
Mai Sui said: "I don't know very well... But since last night, she has been anxious, especially after getting up, she kept dialing the phone, but none of them answered, and she was almost collapsed. I asked her what happened, but she refused to say it, only you can help with it."
To be continued...
