Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Leaves Return to the Roots

readx(); When Mo Duqiao turned around to leave, Xingshu raised his hand and pressed his shoulder: "I said, you don't have to go!" ”

Lian Jiuqi grabbed the wrist of the torture technique: "Let him go, I have the final say here!" ”

"You're sick, aren't you?" The torture technique shook off Lian Jiuqi's hand and subconsciously clasped his arm, "You don't have the qualifications to command anyone here!" Stand aside for me, and shut your mouth! ”

After the torture was finished, he realized that his words were a little excessive, and let go of Lian Jiuqi slightly, who knew that Lian Jiuqi immediately counterattacked and withheld the torture: "I'll teach you how to talk to my father now!" ”

As soon as Ma Fei heard Lian Jiuqi say this, he knew that the torture technique would be provoked again, so he immediately stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lian, if you have something to discuss, you can let go of the torture technique first." ”

Without waiting for Lian Jiuqi to say something, the head of the torture technique leaned back, directly hitting Lian Jiuqi's forehead, and at the same time that Lian Jiuqi let go of his hand, the torture technique turned around and kicked a side kick, directly kicking Lian Jiuqi's chest, and then rushed up, jumped up directly, rode on Lian Jiuqi's head, pressed it to the ground, and smashed it towards Lian Jiuqi's head with a fist.

Lian Jiuqi raised his arms to protect his head, and tried to get up several times, but was suppressed by the torture technique.

Lian Jiuqi roared: "Torture, if you don't stop, don't blame me for being rude!" ”

Seeing that the torture technique had no intention of stopping, Ma Fei stepped forward to pull the torture technique, and at the same time shouted to the other three people standing next to him who were at a loss: "Come here to help, pull them both away!" ”

In addition to Moduqiao, Angu and Torlie both stepped forward to help pull away the torture technique, but the torture technique was still waving their fists, and Lian Jiuqi finally kicked away the torture technique with a roar of rage, turned over, and attacked directly at the throat of the torture technique.

Ma Fei, Torre, and Mo Duqiao saw him make a move, and they all knew that this was a killer, so they immediately stepped forward and dragged to stop Lian Jiuqi, and Lian Jiuqi used his fists and feet together, knocking the three people who rushed up directly to the ground, and with another punch, he hit the torture technique that had just gotten up directly to the wall, and then rushed up, grabbed the throat of the torture technique, and lifted it up directly.

Torture stared at Lian Jiuqi, who was full of killing intent, and suddenly became a little scared and regretted.

"Even nine chess! That's your son, your own son! Maffei hissed from behind.

Lian Jiuqi looked at the torture technique and shook his head slightly, gritted his teeth and said: "I said, I didn't come back to find you and your mother at the beginning, not because I was afraid of death, but because I was worried that it would affect you, I didn't know what happened at that time, I said it one last time, whether you believe it or not, this is the truth!" ”

After that, Lian Jiuqi let go of the torture technique, and the torture technique slipped to the ground, looking up at Lian Jiuqi who slowly turned away.

Torture said: "You can't go on the Twilight Bridge!" ”

"Whatever you want." Lian Jiuqi responded in a low voice, grabbed his backpack, and slowly walked away.

Ma Fei stepped forward and gave the torture technique a look, signaling him to go up and apologize to Lian Jiuqi to ease the atmosphere, but the torture technique did not react, but said to Mo Duqiao: "Check the layout of this town, compare it with Gromov's diary, and see if there are any new discoveries." ”

Ink Twilight didn't act, just watched the torture.

Xingshu asked coldly: "Go, what are you doing in a daze?" ”

Mo Duqiao glanced at Lian Jiuqi, who was standing there from afar, looking down and not knowing what he was doing, and said in a low voice: "Because of my relationship, I got into trouble with your father, and you ......"

"It's not about you!" The torture technique interrupted Ink Twilight's words, "Whatever I tell you to do, you will do." ”

"Okay." Inkwilight Bridge nodded and began to check the surrounding buildings, Angu thought for a moment and hurriedly followed behind Inkdusk Bridge.

Although the torture technique was very confused, he also forced himself to look at those murals, Torrei stood behind him and said in a low voice: "Your father loves you very much, the reason why he wants to find out all this is not to find Qimen or anything, but just to give you and your deceased mother an explanation, he didn't come back to you because he was afraid of death." ”

Torture pretended not to hear, Ma Fei shook his head at Torre, motioning for him to go away, Torri nodded, and went to find the Mo Dusk Bridge, Ma Fei stood beside Torture for a long time, and then looked at Lian Jiuqi, and then raised his feet and walked over.

When he walked to Lian Jiuqi's side, Ma Fei found that Lian Jiuqi was holding the jade piece in his hand, his eyes were red, obviously very sad, and he was holding back tears.

"Mr. Lian, don't blame the torture technique, he has a knot." Ma Fei comforted in a low voice, "You know, he grew up in a mental hospital, no one wants to grow up in that kind of deformed environment, and he has lost his mother since he was a child, at such an age, a father suddenly appeared, and he also knew the truth of the year, he definitely couldn't accept it for a while, and besides, he is very independent, has always been very independent, I have known him for so long, and he has changed from an enemy to a friend, so I believe in him, please even Mr. believe in him." ”

Lian Jiuqi kept staring at the jade piece in his hand: "I know, he can be so independent, he didn't go astray, I am really grateful to Master, and thank God, I feel very guilty, but there are some things that I can't control, this, I know he can't understand, maybe he can't understand it in this life, in fact, when the Cusco company asked me to lay out, I thought about him, I was thinking, if he really solved that series of puzzles perfectly, what would the ending be?" Will it be like me, a pawn of Cusco? That's why I don't want him to make decisions about everything, and sometimes, it's painful to make decisions. ”

Ma Fei glanced at the torture technique in the distance, and found that the torture technique was also looking at her, Ma Fei said again: "The torture can be understood, you give him some time, he knows very well that making a decision is not an easy thing, but he wants to find out as soon as possible and end this matter." ”

Lian Jiuqi smiled bitterly: "Why don't I want to? ”

Ma Fei smiled: "Then father and son work together." ”

Lian Jiuqi raised his eyes and looked at Ma Fei: "Thank you, Miss Ma, I am happy for him to have a friend like you, of course, I also hope that you can keep going, you should understand what I mean." ”

Ma Fei said: "Thank you, Mr. Lian, for borrowing your auspicious words." ”

Lian Jiuqi nodded, and stopped talking, Ma Fei saw this and asked, "Mr. Lian, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

Lian Jiuqi said: "I hope that you can be honest with each other, don't hide from each other, you should know about He Chenxue, this is a big blow to the torture, to be honest, this matter was completely beyond my expectations." ”

Ma Fei shook his head: "I blame me for this incident, but I am actually the one who started it." ”

"Don't say that, you did what Cusco instructed you to do." Lian Jiuqi frowned, "Okay, let's not talk about this, it's time to get down to business." ”

When Ma Fei turned around, he happened to see Mo Dusk Bridge walking towards the torture technique, still holding the diary left by the reed flute in his hand.

"What did you find?" Torture stepped forward and asked.

Mo Duqiao looked around and said: "Except for the place that was deliberately scratched, the others are similar to those recorded in Gromov's diary, and Gromov also recorded a question in his diary, that is, he did not find the place where the ship on the mural was. ”

Torturer looked at the diary and said: "That's for sure, if Gromov found the ship, he would definitely go out of the cave, but he didn't even write how he left, maybe there is a problem with this, by the way, he should have written how he got here from the second floor, right?" ”

"Yes, it says that there is a cave in the south, I'll see, the south." Murwilight looked at the compass on his watch, then pointed to one side, "Over there, the entrance and exit should be over there." ”

Xingshu looked around and said: "It seems that this town should have some direct connection with Kuhan City back then, maybe it was the most prosperous and important area of Kuhan City at the beginning, and the later Bohai remnants copied it, Ma Fei, Angu, you come here, we will divide the work." ”

Everyone gathered over, and even Jiuqi hesitated for a moment and walked over.

"I need to simply measure the area of this town, there are four streets in total, one square, we have six people, I am in charge of the square in the middle, Ma Fei is in charge of the street in the north, Angu is in charge of the south, Torrei is in charge of the east, and Moduqiao is in charge of the west, you mainly calculate how many steps there are from the center of the square to the end of the street, walk over and walk back, calculate twice, find an average, understand?" ”

When everyone nodded, Ma Fei suddenly said: "I am a woman, and the pace of women is not as big as that of men." ”

Xingshu said: "It's okay, just wait and find a comprehensive value according to your single step distance." ”

Ma Fei said: "You don't need to be so troublesome, right? I will accompany you to survey the square, and you will ask Mr. Lian to measure the street to the north. ”

Torrei and Angu looked at Ma Fei and wondered in their hearts, why did Ma Fei do this? Shouldn't it be better to leave Lian Jiuqi and Torture Arts? But Ma Fei has other plans in his heart, after all, women's minds are more careful than men's.

The torturer didn't object, and he knew what Ma Fei was going to do, so he nodded and acquiesced.

After the others went to measure the distance, the torture began to walk around the square in the center, and Ma Fei followed behind him, stepping on the footprints left by the torture on the snow, both of them looking preoccupied.

After walking around, he wrote down the previous steps in his notebook, and when he turned around, he almost bumped into Ma Fei.

The torturer asked, "What are you doing with me?" ”

Ma Fei said, "Who followed you?" I'm here to help you do the math. ”

Torture Shu put down the notebook: "What do you have to say?" ”

Ma Fei looked around: "Did I say before that your IQ is indeed high, but your EQ is negative?" ”

Torture frowned: "So what? ”

Ma Fei said: "In this world, people with high emotional intelligence live much more easily than people with high IQ. ”

Xingshu said: "Then do you think you have a high EQ or a high IQ?" ”

"Me? My EQ is a little bit higher than my IQ, but it's basically the same. Ma Fei deliberately squeezed out a smile, "Overall, emotional intelligence is higher." ”

Torture asked, "Then do you think you are living more freely than me?" ”

Ma Fei pointed to the torture technique: "You see, only people with high IQ will continue to discuss this issue with me in a tangled way, and at this time, emotional intelligence should come into play." ”

The torturer handed the notebook to Ma Fei: "Okay, then please use your emotional intelligence to calculate the approximate area of this town, and a series of related unsolved mysteries, of course, I don't think I have a high IQ." ”

Ma Fei smiled and decided to stimulate the torture technique: "Torture technique, do you know why He Chenxue didn't choose you?" ”

Xingshu was stunned: "I don't know, and I don't want to know." ”

The torturer raised his feet to leave, but Ma Fei stopped him: "Because some issues are completely unimportant to other people, only you think they are important, you are so smart, you should understand what I mean." ”

Xingshu shook his head: "I don't understand, make it clear." ”

Ma Fei said: "Some things, when mentioned on the surface, will be very embarrassing, because the heart of the person concerned may be more uncomfortable than you, He Chenxue was like that in the past, and your father was even like Jiuqi, even at this moment, you asked me to bring the matter of He Chenxue that I took the initiative to put forward on the bright side, which is also a truth." ”

Torture frowned and shook his head slightly.

Ma Fei said: "A lot of things, only look at the result, do not ask for the process, you don't need to treat everything as a puzzle, even if it is, the onlookers only want to know what the mystery is, most people are not interested in how you uncover the process." You have mentioned Fan Meng more than once in front of He Chenxue, this is your stupidity, you have mentioned the past in front of Lian Jiuqi more than once, talking about your mother, it is also your stupidity, even I took the initiative to mention He Chenxue just now, you still have to ask me what is going on, or your stupidity, don't you know that any woman doesn't like to hear a man mention his ex-girlfriend? Even if the woman took the initiative to bring it up. ”

Torture sighed, "Where is it so complicated? Are you annoyed? ”

"yes, it's not complicated at all, you made it yourself!" Ma Fei's voice raised, "Since the fact that you and Lian Jiuqi are father and son was pierced, you have started to target him in everything, but before you pierced it, you already knew that he might be your father, but you can act like no one, that's fine, why do you have to ask for an explanation?" ”

Torture shook his head: "I understand, I'll do my best." ”

The torture technique was suddenly so refreshing, which made Ma Fei a little surprised: "You really understand?" ”

The torture technique thought about it, and it seemed that this question was too difficult for him, but he still nodded again: "Understood, really, don't say it again, I'll feel annoyed." ”

Ma Fei said: "Okay, I won't mention it anymore, you think about it yourself, you have said more than once, as long as you come out, it is a team, the team must have team spirit, all the contradictions must be resolved after you go back safely, don't forget what you said." ”

The torture nodding and no longer spoke, Ma Fei also turned the topic to calculating the area of the square, and after a long time, several other people also returned, and said their steps, and after a simple calculation of the torture, he closed the book: "Rough estimate, the area of the square and the street alone is about 110,000 square meters, not counting the other areas around." ”

"It's not too big, at most it's the size of a medium-sized residential community, and according to the town, it's not big at all." ”

"So, I think this town is shrinking, and if I'm not mistaken, the old site of Khuhan City should be more than ten times the size of this, but no one knows what Khan City was like before." ”

Angu looked to the south: "We should go to the exit, it's getting dark again, and when we go up, we don't know what will happen." ”

Xingshu nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go up first." ”

The six of them went in front of the south, and after looking around, they found the hole that Gromov had mentioned in a building.

The torture technique used a flashlight to shine into the entrance of the cave, and found that both the walls of the cave and the tattered stone stairs in the cave were dark red.

Torture turned to look at the others and said, "The hole has been brushed with blood. ”

Angu stepped forward and looked: "What do you mean?" I haven't heard of the mountain demon doing such a cruel thing before. ”

Torrei also shook his head: "I have not heard of such a tradition from the Golden Eagle Tribe or the Ural Khan Tribe. ”

Mo Dui Qiao looked up and down, and affirmed: "It's a warning, no wonder we haven't encountered the remnants of the Bohai Sea for so long." ”

"Warning?" Maffei looked at the stairs, "Is it to warn the people above not to come to this place?" Strange, isn't this a place where they miss their homeland? Why warn people not to come down? ”

"We Chinese pay attention to a 'leaf falling back to the roots'." Lian Jiuqi, who had not spoken, spoke at this time, standing at the end, he turned to look at the town behind him, "This place is indeed a place where they miss their homeland, and it is also a place where they return to their roots, do you remember the snow slope above?" Remember that ice burial ground? The tradition of the Golden Eagle tribe is to bury people there, and the following is the place where the remnants of the Bohai Sea are buried. ”

"It's different." "But they were usually buried at the foot of the mountain. ”

Lian Jiuqi asked, "Is it in the direction of the Four Seasons Mountain?" ”

"Yes." Torret nodded in acknowledgement, "It has to be in the direction of the Four Seasons Mountain. ”

Lian Jiuqi nodded: "That's right, this is the burial ground, if you guess correctly, there are all corpses below, when I was in Southeast Asia before, I saw a village that did this, where there were old buildings in the Central Plains, there was a well in the building, the well was very deep, and all the bones of the deceased were thrown inside, which is called Ye Luo returning to the roots." ”

Torture finally couldn't help but ask, "What the hell do you want to say?" ”

"Here's a warning, a warning that the people above can't come down, and at the same time a warning that the souls below can't go up, twofold." Lian Jiuqi first pointed to the entrance of the cave, and then turned to look at the town, "Whether it is the Iron Eagle Department, the Wolf Head Department or the remnants of the Bohai Sea, they must be buried in a place related to the Four Seasons Mountain, plus the abilities of the prophet, it may be related to the resurrection from the dead, and at the same time, it can also be speculated that they did not come here out of their own will, but forced, if they were not forced, how could there be such a bloody warning?" How could it lead to division and fighting between the three tribes? ”

The torture technique seemed to understand: "You mean, the prophet has been manipulating them, not letting the family dominate, and using the holy relics left behind, letting them kill each other, but the prophet chose the best control of the remnants of the Bohai Sea to stay here, so that the most difficult to control, and the strongest combat power, the Iron Eagle Department and the Wolf Head, one is outside the mountain, and the other is at the foot of the mountain, even if it is hostile, but the ultimate goal is to protect the Four Seasons Mountain?" ”

Lian Jiuqi nodded: "That's roughly the case, this is just my speculation, maybe it's not accurate, I'm just open up and think about it, as for what things are, let's go up and find other clues." ”
