Inkglass Mountain Chapter 47
Nan Dou Xing seemed to be quite interested in Mo Ling's reaction, and he actually laughed when he looked at it, which made Mo Ling a little confused for a while, "Nan, Uncle Nan, what are you laughing at......
Nan Douxing stood up, walked slowly to Mo Ling's side, patted Mo Ling's shoulder gently, and said gently: "Ling'er, I know that you are smart and responsive by nature, and even Uncle Nan can't compare to you in this regard." But you have a fatal flaw that must be changed. β
"Uncle Nan is referring to the lack of spiritual power in my body?" asked Mo Ling.
"It has nothing to do with your cultivation. Nandou shook his head, "Do you remember what a sentence I often teach you is?" β
"......" Mo Ling tilted his head slightly, and thought carefully for a while, "Do things from the overall situation?"
"Not bad. Nandouxing immediately took over, "Those who do great things start with the overall situation, become the destiny of heaven, and fail in the details." These are 16 words that you should keep in mind. Take the matter of the Mo Family Academy this time, for you, what matters is not the life and death of a certain disciple, but how the Mo family will deal with this matter, and how the other three families will make a fuss about this matter. β
"Ling'er is stupid, please make it clear to Uncle Nan. Mo Ling heard what was in the words and hurriedly asked.
"I reprimanded you fiercely just now, but don't think too badly about things because of this, judging from the current situation, the situation of the Mo family is much more difficult than yours, because they can't spare time to take care of your affairs. β
Nandouxing slowly slipped back to his desk, a happy smile on his face, "I've heard Li'er say a long time ago, after you had an accident, you let Li'er leave the Grand Canyon and stay alone to rescue the unconscious disciple. Those disciples were not flooded by the water of Wolong Pond, and it was entirely your credit. β
Hearing this, Mo Ling could hear a little eyebrows: Speaking of which, as long as the matter does not involve Nan Ruoli, then it is okay to be saved, if Nan Ruoli is involved, it is negligence and carelessness. From beginning to end, Nan Douxing did not mention that "Nan Ruoli has entered the Grand Canyon" and "Nan Ruoli needs to be responsible for this". If it sounds to others, it seems that Mo Ling is alone with the Mo family disciples to the Grand Canyon, Nan Ruoli just happened to pass by and witnessed the whole thing.
Of course, Nandou Xing didn't know what Mo Ling was thinking, and continued with great interest: "That Wolong Pond will suddenly collapse, which is completely unexpected by the Mo family, no one thought that under that Wolong Pond, there are more than 100 caves of all sizes. Speaking of this, Nan Douxing couldn't help but smile and shook his head, "This time Mo Zi is speechless, how to explain the origin of these caves, this matter alone is enough for him to have a headache for a while." β
"It's ...... Why?" asked Moling.
"That's a long story," Nandou Xing rummaged through the bookshelf for a while, pulling out a few scrolls of bamboo slips and throwing them on the table, "If you're interested, you can take these books and take a look." β
Mo Ling hurriedly stepped forward and carefully put the book into his arms. Nandou Xing waited for Mo Ling to put the book in place, sat back in his chair, and continued: "In addition to these more than 100 caves, there are also two corpses that were washed to the bottom of the valley by the pool water, although Mo Zixu is unwilling to admit it, but the two corpses should be from the Mo family. β
"Two, corpses?" Mo Ling was stunned, why two corpses?
"Two mutilated limbs, to be exact," muttered the Southern Dipper, "not only were the hands and feet mutilated, but the body was destroyed beyond recognition, and one of the bodies had obvious signs of being burned by fire. This is already the second mystery case after the fire in Jing Si Yuan. β
"Do you have any clues about the fire in Jing Si Yuan?" asked Mo Ling.
"As far as I know, two disciples of the Mo family had an argument in the meditation monastery that night, and one of them killed the other, and fled after the body was burned and destroyed. Nandou said this very slowly.
"Two?" Mo Ling's heart jumped suddenly, but he didn't dare to ask, so he changed his tone and asked, "How does Uncle Nan know that they are disciples of the Mo family?"
"A little investigation of the student roster of Tianzi Pavilion will reveal that after the fire in Jing Si Yuan, two names were missing from the roster. It is not known who these two people are, but one thing is certain, they are both from the Mo family. β
Sure enough, he was a student of Tianzi Pavilion. Mo Ling was not surprised by this result, but what surprised Mo Ling was that the internal roster of the Tianzi Pavilion, Nandou Xing was able to investigate at will.
"The students of the Tianzi Pavilion are making trouble in the Jing Si Garden, could it be related to Mei Yu?" Mo Ling hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
"It's a little early to say this, so let's wait and see for a while. Nandou admonished, "Don't show up until the last minute." β
Ling'er understood. β
"That's all I have to say, if you don't have anything else, go back first. After Nandou finished speaking, he picked up the book he had just read and re-read it.
"Yes. Mo Ling gave up his hand, and when he was about to go out, he turned around and asked, "Regarding the matter over there in Qingzhou, do you want to continue to investigate?"
"No needβ" Nandou Xingxing didn't raise his head, but before Mo Ling stepped out of the door, he called out to Mo Ling again, "Have you seen Qingzhou recently?"
"I haven't seen it. Moling shook her head, "I wonder where he went. β
"It's not surprising. Nandou Xing was interested, "Your negotiation with him is up to the last time, as for the things he told you, you decide how to deal with them yourself, just don't reveal your whereabouts." β
"Yes. Mo Ling exited the study and gently closed the door, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
After a while, a figure emerged from the corner of the corridor outside the study, looking at the back of the demon feather a little farther away, his face full of complicated emotions.
In the evening, Nan Ruoli came to Mo Ling's house as promised. Moling had already eaten and was sitting alone in her room reading. Nan Ruoli frolicked with Mo Qingyao for a while and knocked on Mo Ling's door.
"The door is not closed, come in. Mo Ling knew that it was Nan Ruoli, and put down the book that she had seen halfway.
As soon as Nan Ruoli entered the door, she saw the books scattered on the Moling table, "What are you looking at?"
"Some old things, very boring things," Mo Ling casually took out a scroll and shook it at Nan Ruoli, "Do you want to read it?"
"If it's boring, don't read it," Nan Ruoli found a place to sit down, "You can tell me." β
"It's just as boring to tell, you'll fall asleep. "It's different, I just want to hear from you. β
"Okay. Mo Ling owed, blew up the oil lamp on the table, and suddenly remembered something, "What about Yao'er?"
"I've fallen asleep. "That's good. β
Mo Ling got up and went out, brought a pot of tea back to the room, poured a cup for herself and Nan Ruoli, and moved the chair to Nan Ruoli's side a little. Nan Ruoli picked up the teacup with white mist, and through the heat, she saw that Mo Ling's figure became blurred a little bit, "Isn't it a very long story." β
"It's cold, hot tea is just to warm up. Mo Ling smiled faintly, "The humble house is dilapidated, and there is nothing else to entertain you." β
Nan Ruoli pursed her lips and smiled silently, only to hear Mo Ling clear her throat and ask, "Where do you want me to start?"
The breeze leaked through the window, the lights in the house flickered, Nan Ruoli tilted her head slightly, and said after a while, "Just start ...... This morning in Nanfu, why are you so cold to me? β
"Miss Nan spares her life. Mo Ling smiled bitterly, "This is not clear. β
"Flutter", Nan Ruoli couldn't help laughing, so she quickly took a sip of tea, straightened her face and said, "I really want to hear the reason, because you are always hot and cold to me." β
"Haha......" Mo Ling picked up a book slip and kept fiddling with it in his hand, trying to hide the embarrassment on his face, "Let's talk about the story in the booklet." β
Nan Ruoli looked at Mo Ling quietly, and did not speak for a while, only the light and shadow on the wall kept shaking, just like Mo Ling's uneasy heart.
"Magic Feather. Nan Ruoli finally spoke.
"Huh?" "Are you avoiding me?" "How could it be, what am I avoiding you for?" "I don't know, there's always a feeling like that. It's obviously around, but it's far, far away. Just like Sister Meiyu, she knew that she was in Jingshan, but she couldn't meet anyway. β
Hearing the word Mei Yu, Mo Ling's heart trembled slightly, just as a gust of wind hit the window paper, pushing the entire window open with a "hula". The night breeze swept through the house, so that the lights could not stand up, and the warmth that had finally brewed was swept away. Magic Ling got up and closed the window, and heard the sound of rain beginning to fall outside the window.
"It's raining, and it's going to be hard when I go back. Nan Ruoli said behind her.
Mo Ling quietly closed the window, turned around and sighed, "Looks like tonight's story is going to be told for a little longer." β
With that, the two looked at each other and smiled, and as the lights gradually stabilized, the hut in the rainy night returned to tranquility again.
