Ghosts don't have tears. Su Lan looked sad, but she couldn't shed a single tear.
She looked at her grandson Mo Chongxi with both guilt and pity, and transformed into an old man in his dying years.
"Xiaoxi, in this case, can you recognize grandma?"
"grandmother!"
Su Lan didn't change any more, and with her old face, she explained: "After being judged by Fengdu, ghosts can live in the way they like, and can be transformed into any stage before they were alive."
"Grandma, you... please untie this iron chain for my grandma."
Mu Rong crossed his arms and replied, "It's better to tie it like this, don't make things difficult for your grandma."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Xiaoxi, Mr. Yincha is right, so be it."
"Evil? You?"
Su Lan consciously made a slip of the tongue and softly pleaded guilty to Murong.
"It's okay. I believe that Mr. Mo is not a talkative person. If I'm not wrong, you came to see us today, and you have something to say? Besides, the old ancestor of the Mo family wanted to hit you with the cane."
Su Lan nodded: "That's right."
"Grandma, what happened? Is Changsheng alright down there?"
Mo Chongxi's father, Mo Yuanwei, went to the temple to ask for a baby name because he was weak when he was a child, and he called him Changsheng.
Sang Tong interrupted the conversation of several people: "Now is not the time to reminisce about the old days. The lifeline of the descendants of the Mo family has been cut off. Do you know what happened?"
Su Lan lowered her head and fell silent.
All eyes were on her, and after a long time, she slowly raised her head and told a story that had been buried in the soil.
Let's say that the ancestor of the Mohist family settled down that ancestral grave, and that ancestor was buried there a hundred years later according to the Taoist's words, and the Mohist family has flourished ever since.
As time goes by, during this period, although the dynasty has changed, warlords have fought, various wars and natural disasters, the Mohism has been tenaciously passed down.
The only unsatisfactory place is the heirs.
When it came to Grandpa Mo Chongxi, who was the first man in the Chinese tunic suit who showed up today—Mo Chengsi's generation, the once prosperous Mo family had only one male, Mo Chengsi.
Mo Chengsi had married three wives, and the strange thing is: the first two brides were seriously ill before their wedding, and passed away.
The Mo family attaches great importance to incense, so they invited an expert to divination. The expert was also absurd, saying that Mo Chengsi's horoscope is too hard, and he is born to restrain his wife and punish his son. He needs to find a woman with the same horoscope to stay together until he grows old.
The "expert" did the calculations and finally chose Su Lan.
Su Lan's original family name was Li, and she was related to the Mo family, and the Li family married the concubine daughter of the Mo family.
After all, Mo Chengsi still had to call Su Lan her cousin.
At that time, Su Lan was already married, and her eldest daughter was four years old. Before the Mo family found Su Lan's family, Su Lan's husband had just been captured by a warlord, and his life and death were uncertain.
The Mo family is a well-known local family, and the Li family has to rely on the big tree of the Mo family to live. They can marry their own daughter to the only heir of the Mo family, so they naturally wish for it.
The Li family, who were blinded by interests, tried their best to facilitate this ridiculous marriage.
Su Lan's original husband's family was just ordinary people, and they sent them away after giving them some money.
In the second year of Su Lan's marriage to Mo Chengsi, she gave birth to a boy, Mo Chongxi's father, Mo Yuanwei, whose baby name was Changsheng.
When Changsheng was three years old, the Mo family also found him a twelve-year-old child bride-in-law who took care of him in the house.
When Changsheng was sixteen years old, the child bride was already a veritable old girl. Mo Chengsi felt that the child bride was from a bad background and was too old, so he gave her a sum of money to send her away, and hired a daughter-in-law from a well-matched family. It was the old lady Mo in front of her, Mo Chongxi's mother.
Su Lan pulled away from her memories and said softly: "My first husband really didn't come back in the end. I don't know if he died in battle or heard some rumors. In short, their family moved away."
At this point in the story, the people present vaguely had an answer, but the truth was so shocking that people didn't dare to think about it.
Bao Xiaoxuan and Li Jiaming showed embarrassment and regretted wading in this muddy water.
Accidentally learned about the old secrets of the Mo family, and I don't know how the two families will continue to communicate in the future.
"Xiuzhi (Mo Chongxi's mother), Xiaoxi, I am the one who is sorry for you, Changsheng... is not the seed of the Mo family"
"I suffered from an illness when I was young. Menstruation has always been inaccurate. My father kidnapped my daughter and threatened me. Even my in-law's family came forward to persuade me to remarry. My father-in-law even found a family to sign a Give me the paper divorce letter. Women in our era, living to my stage, can be regarded as having nowhere to go. My mother’s family does not make decisions for me, and my husband’s family also abandons me like a shoe. There are only two roads in front of me. , or die! For the sake of my daughter, I can only compromise, but I don't know that I already have immortality in my womb, if I knew, I would definitely die and not marry."
Mo Chongxi's mother's lips moved, and she asked in a trembling voice: "But mother-in-law... Changsheng him, he looks very similar to the father-in-law, how could it be?"
Su Lan smiled sarcastically, with a sad face: "Yeah... If it's not the same, how can I hide it for so many years? My father-in-law is also my real uncle, and Chengsi is my real cousin! Changsheng's eyebrows and eyes look like me, and Chengsi and I Si is also somewhat similar, this is a mistake, Changsheng is very similar to Cheng Si, it is really reasonable to say that nephew is like uncle."
"Mom!" Mo Chongxi hugged the old lady Mo. The old man was too old to bear such a blow and passed out.
Bao Xiaoxuan and Li Jiaming, as if they had received amnesty, offered to take care of Mrs. Mo, and left the ancestral hall behind Mrs. Mo's back.
Sang Tong asked: "Then when did you know about Changsheng... Mrs. Mo, isn't his surname Mo?"
"Until I die."
"What?"
"The appearance of Changsheng really looks like Chengsi, plus I have irregular menstruation, so I didn't know that I was married with Changsheng. The baby has been in poor health since birth, and the body is smaller than ordinary babies. The old people said It was caused by premature birth, so I believed it. The secret didn’t come to light until I died. Standing in front of the reverse mirror, I saw all kinds of wrong things in my life. His Royal Highness said that I was the heir of cholera, but I was helpless I was sentenced to ten years in prison, and I was taken back to the Mo family's ancestral grave by Cheng Si after the sentence was over, and I never came out again."
Mu Rong asked: "If you go against the mirror, you can't just judge yourself, and the other people involved won't miss it..."
"That's right, including my father-in-law, mother-in-law and Chengsi have all been punished, but regarding this matter, the four of us lied unanimously."
"lie?"
"Master Yincha, you have also seen that the ancestor of the Mo family was blessed by the earth and was about to cultivate into a ghost fairy. The ancestral tomb has become his fiefdom. He is both the ancestor and the emperor in it! My parents-in-law wanted to say Yes, but when they saw the old ancestor's behavior, they tacitly chose to remain silent. Chengsi, although he was angry, ended up with Changsheng father and son. Changsheng was filial and fulfilled his duty as a son. Chengsi did not mention it. I won’t even say it.”
"Then why are the lifelines of the Mo family cut off?"
Su Lan's expression was sad and regretful: "If I knew that things would come to this point, I should have thought of a way to give the children a dream and let them bury their longevity elsewhere. At this point, I am all to blame."
…
"We thought we could keep this secret, but we didn't expect everything to be revealed after Changshengye's death."
"After the reunion of the three of us, we had a good time. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. After all, Changsheng was not named Mo, and his aura didn't fit with the Mo family's ancestral grave. Cheng Sisheng and I were afraid that things would be revealed, so we asked Changsheng to entrust Xiuzhi with a dream. But Xiuzhi found a monk who cheated money, so she can only let it go."
"Grandma, where is my dad now?"
The muscles on Su Lan's face twitched a few times: "He's dead, people die as ghosts, ghosts die as scorpions, the ancestors found out the truth, became furious, condemned Changsheng, and used cruel means to scatter Changsheng's body." The soul, the time of existence is very short, and the longevity has been wiped out."
"What!?"
Mo Chongxi, who was over a hundred and a half years old, his eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground, calling for his father.
Trembling all over, he staggered up from the ground, picked up a grand teacher's chair, and smashed it towards the rows of tablets in front of him.
There was a crashing sound, and for a moment, all the tablets were scattered on the ground.
After all, Mo Chongxi is not young anymore. Sitting in the office all year round made his physical fitness worse than the average person. He threw down his chair, limp on the ground, panting heavily.
After resting for a while, he crawled half a meter away, hugged his father's tablet to his chest, bent his body, and burst into tears.
No one came forward, and no one dissuaded them. Facing such a bizarre family secret that had been kept dusted for many years, the young people present really didn't know what to do.
It was Su Lan who begged, "Master Yin, can you loosen this chain?"
Mu Rong withdrew the soul lock chain, Su Lan squatted beside Mo Chongxi, made a stroking gesture, and comforted: "Xiaoxi, grandma knows you are a filial and good boy, you can't accept the matter of your father for a while, grandma Why not? But we had nothing to do at the time, now it’s all right, you have hired someone who can really help, and the top priority is to solve the family’s affairs first.”
"Grandma, my dad..."
"Son, look away. If you didn't see this with your own eyes today, wouldn't you feel that your father has disappeared forever? You are living well, that's what he wants to see the most. Listen to grandma, grandma is already Those who have died once can see it, and the ones who are alive are the most important."
Su Lan walked up to Murong and knelt down.
Mu Rong helped Su Lan up: "Old man, what are you doing?"
"You are a ghost, I can bear this beckoning to you, Mr. Yin, please, save Xiaoxi and the others! Every mistake is my fault, and the child is innocent."
