Chapter 23: Questioning
It was General Chang who spoke, because he could see that Mo Ming's emotions were very excited, and although the clothes on his body were a little new, his dirty face could not hide Mo Ming's embarrassment.
The young man didn't speak, but as General Chang's words fell, his very handsome face showed real concern.
Because there were so many dead people, as the prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, he had to be responsible for the people of the entire Great Xia Kingdom, and such a big thing happened, and he saw so many dead people, he even thought that there were no more living people within a thousand miles of the entire Tongtian Mountain.
If this is really the case, he can't bear it, and the court of the Great Xia Kingdom can't bear it, because someone needs to explain all this, otherwise, people in the world will think that the Great Xia Kingdom has done something that has been punished by God to happen all this, and will blame all the sins on the court.
And even if only one person is alive, as long as the imperial court can find such a person, it can at least give some explanation to the people of Great Xia about this matter.
And now, how can the prince not be excited to see such a living person like Mo Ming appear in such a place full of corpses.
Mo Ming was also very excited, excited and even wanted to shout out, this kind of excitement may not be able to be experienced by anyone, but for people who have been accustomed to seeing dead bodies and smelling the stench for many days, it is a different feeling to be able to see a group of living people standing in front of him.
However, as this excitement became more and more intense, until General Chang said those words, he forcibly suppressed it.
Although he had a lot to say in his heart, when he was really sure that what was in front of him was not an illusion, he suddenly found that he didn't know where to start, or that he couldn't say and couldn't say what all this had happened.
After all, what happened on Tongtian Mountain was too weird, not to mention that Mo Ming still didn't understand, and even if he did, it wasn't something he could solve now
And after this change, so many people died, but he was left alone to survive, such a situation he could not explain, or if he did, no one wanted to believe it.
Because among them, the most important thing is the palm-sized box.
Although Mo Ming was very reluctant to admit that his survival was entirely because of the box, although he was very angry that the box had protected him.
But when he swore in blood to the huge tomb in Mo Village that he would live well and unravel everything that happened in Tongtian Mountain, he already understood that this box was a great thing, and he wanted to unravel the reason why all this happened, the box was a thing that could not be lost, and once he explained it to General Chang and others, he was afraid that this box would not be able to be saved.
"Little brother, don't get excited, tell me, what is going on around this Tongtian Mountain?
Seeing that Mo Ming had not answered, the prince couldn't help but speak a little eagerly, after all, the matter was too big, he couldn't stay calm, and even when he said this, his hands had unconsciously put on Mo Ming's shoulders and shook lightly.
Mo Ming was completely awakened by this moment, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, just shook his head under the eager gaze of the prince and General Chang and others.
"What do you mean by this, what is going on?" General Chang was obviously anxious, and when he saw Mo Ming shaking his head, he subconsciously opened his mouth and shouted.
"General Chang!"
The prince shouted in a low voice, glared at General Chang slightly, and then turned his gaze to Mo Ming's body, obviously, he also wanted to know what Mo Ming's shaking of the head meant.
Mo Ming didn't want to speak, but after thinking about it, he still said calmly: "I don't know what happened, I only know that the root of all this is from the top of Tongtian Mountain, I don't know if there is anyone else alive, because I haven't seen a living creature along the way, except for you!"
After a pause, Mo Ming then said hoarsely: "Maybe there is another person alive, but I don't know if he is still alive now!"
"None of them are alive, so how did you survive?" General Chang couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"I don't know!" Mo Ming shook his head, "I was knocked unconscious by a stone before the accident, and when I woke up, the surroundings were already like this!"
"How is that possible!"
Hearing this, General Chang came again and asked in disbelief: "Everyone is dead, and you are the only one who survives, and you don't know anything at all?"
"I really don't know!"
Mo Ming suddenly yelled, his emotions instantly lost control, this sentence can be said to poke at his sore spot, and he also wanted to know why he was left alone!
"I also want to know what the reason for all this is! My relatives are all dead, and more than 400 people in the whole village have died overnight, not only our Mo Village, but also the people in Li Village and Wang Village next door have died! They even keep their smiles when they are still alive after death! I also want to know what is the reason for this!"
Mo Ming roared out almost with all the strength of his body, and the depression that had been suppressed for days broke out at this moment, and the tears that had long dried up were unconsciously wet, he really wanted to know why!
General Chang was stunned by the yell, and opened his mouth to say something, but at this time, the prince's eyes widened and stopped him.
Until Mo Ming's mood stabilized slightly, the prince thought for a while and asked softly, "You just said that maybe there is another person alive, who is that person?"
"I don't know, he was sitting on the top of the cliff when I met him, and when I got close, he jumped off the cliff, and I haven't seen him again!" Mo Ming said hoarsely.
"Did you jump off the cliff or die?" the prince was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked.
"I don't know, I didn't see his body at the bottom of the cliff!" Mo Ming replied truthfully.
"What kind of man is he?When did you meet him??," the prince asked three questions in succession, his voice obviously a little eager, and his brow furrowed more and more.
"It's a senior Taoist who met him yesterday near Pingya Mountain!" Mo Ming thought for a while.
The prince was silent after hearing this, but his brows tightened, General Chang wanted to ask something more, but he didn't dare to ask again when he looked at the prince's thoughtful look.
"Can you take us to Pingya Mountain to find that Dao Chief, maybe that Dao Master knows the reason for this matter!" After thinking for a long time, the prince looked at Mo Ming and said in a low voice.
Mo Ming nodded, but did not refuse, because he also wanted to know what all this was about, since he met Lao Dao that day, and listened to that strange words that seemed to be crazy, he knew that Lao Dao must know something!
It's just that the old way is too weird, no matter how Mo Ming looks for it that day, he can't see the figure of the old way, and now since the prince said that he wants to look for it, it is naturally the best, after all, a person's strength is limited after all, with these eight hundred iron horses to search, the scope of the search can be expanded several times, and it is not impossible to find it!
Seeing that Mo Ming nodded in agreement, the prince did not hesitate, and summoned a soldier to let Mo Ming ride on horseback, and then walked in the direction Mo Ming pointed out.
Eight hundred iron horsemen were galloping, and the speed was very fast, but Mo Ming had walked for nearly a day, but it was only a few hours before he arrived.
It was still under the cliff that was not very high, Mo Ming pointed to the top of the cliff to the prince, and under the prince's order, everyone began to look around, and at the same time, the two armor soldiers also climbed to the top of the cliff to see if the Taoist chief had left traces on the top of the cliff.
The prince himself was not idle, and asked Mo Ming about what happened that day.
Although Mo Ming said that he was knocked unconscious by a stone before the incident, it was clear that the prince did not want to give up any useful clues.
However, as time passed, as a famous armorer returned from all directions, the disappointment on the prince's face became stronger and stronger, and there was no figure around, let alone the Taoist chief, not even a single dead corpse.
It was as if no one had ever visited the place before, and no living beings had inhabited it, and the surroundings were desolate.
However, it is worth mentioning that the prince did not doubt whether the old Tao that Mo Ming said really existed, because on the top of the cliff, the two armorers found a corner of fabric on a raised stone, which was the hem of the Taoist robe, and there was a unique embroidery pattern on the Taoist robe.
