twin moon

Chapter 119 No.15 Scene [-]

Yuansui 11 years, June [-]th.The twin moons hang high, the sky is high and the clouds are light.

Since everyone went to the island with the boat, more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.Qi Ziyin was very new to this island located outside the territory of Dasheng, wandering here and there every day, visiting almost every inch of the land.However, he was always a bit lonely by himself, so he wanted to ask the little Patriarch of the Mo family to go with him.It's a pity that every time he went to invite, the silver-haired child would always shake his head lightly, saying that he didn't want to go out, which made Qi Ziyin's interest greatly diminished, and after a few times, he stopped asking.

However, what he didn't know was that Mo Zeming locked himself in the room all day, not because he was not interested in the outside world, nor because he had concerns about his body.The Yunzhi City was destroyed, causing it to completely lose the Luoxing Pavilion, as well as the sophisticated mechanism in the pavilion for stargazing.Today, the silver-haired boy still has a lot of calculations that he has not yet completed.Although the counting chip is always carried with me, as time goes by, it gradually loses the record of the daily changing star flow.As a result, his calculations became more and more lost in direction, as if standing in front of countless forked roads, but he was at a loss as to where to go.

So, the little Patriarch asked Mo Chen to get some wood and tools for himself, and saw and chiseled in the house all day long, intending to make a smaller copy of the astrolabe on the top of the Luoxing Pavilion with his own hands.After all, now, he is the only person in the world who understands how that complex mechanism works.Only he can remember the countless details on it.

But after all, he has never dealt with wood before. For Mo Zeming, such tasks as chopping, chiseling and cutting are as difficult to master as teaching a babbling baby to read and write.The parts he made were discarded by him again and again, and re-made again and again.In the end, when all the parts were put together, he found in despair that the ingeniously designed mechanism was hard to rotate at all, and what he spent a lot of time making was nothing more than an unusable decoration.

It was now past midnight.The silver-haired boy looked up at the galaxy in the sky, feeling anxious and irritable in his heart. He blamed himself for his clumsy hands and feet, and even more blamed himself for not being able to calculate the destruction of Yunzhi City earlier, allowing enough time to plan in advance, prepare.The weather was hot and dry, and there was no wind at all in the stone house.Sweat dripped down the silver hair on the table, and it also took away the last trace of his patience.

After a moment of silence, Mo Zeming suddenly reached out and picked up the device on the case that had been put into it with all his painstaking efforts, and threw it on the ground viciously.The precise device immediately shattered into countless large and small parts, and many of the delicate parts were completely broken.Looking at the fragments all over the floor, he still couldn't get rid of his anger, so he raised his foot and stomped on it fiercely.

Mo Chen, who was waiting outside the door, heard the voice and hurried in.Earlier, when the silver-haired boy was busy, he was ordered not to disturb him, let alone ask more questions.Seeing that the room was tossed like this, the man finally couldn't help but persuade:

"Little Patriarch, why are you bothering? It's so hard to make it, it's a pity to smash it."

"You don't need to worry about it, just throw out this pile of rubbish for me!" Mo Zeming was still angry with himself.

"Little Patriarch, everyone is good at different things, why should you force yourself." Mo Chen picked out the complete parts from the ground one by one, and put them back on the case.

"But can you make these things?" The silver-haired boy asked back.

"No. Such delicate work is so difficult for the little Patriarch to do it himself, and it is even more impossible for Mo Chen to do it."

"Then what's the point of telling me not to force myself? You don't know how to do it, and you advise me not to do it. Will these logs grow into what I need by themselves?"

"Little Patriarch, what this subordinate means is that you don't actually need to waste time and energy on doing such a thing that is destined to have no results. As for Bu Xing—"

Before Mo Chen finished speaking, the depressed young man rudely interrupted him:
"Mo Chen, when did you know about divination! Do you think that I have spent so much time and energy just for fun?! How do you know that all the efforts I have made now will not bear fruit? You have been with your father for so many years, but you still can’t even memorize the complete astrolabe, what efforts have you made, and what do you know! How can you teach me what to do?”

Mo Zeming changed from his usual indifference, and suddenly roared at the top of his voice.This made his originally bloodless face flush red, and the veins on his forehead were also protruding and throbbing.

The urgency made the young man feel a little breathless, and he hurriedly covered his chest with his hands and gasped violently.For so many days on the island, another important reason why he kept himself stuck in the room was that he didn't want Qi Ziyin, Leng Jiayun and the islanders to see his restless side.

However, the man in front of him seemed to be accustomed to this, and continued to persuade him patiently:
"Please excuse my subordinates for talking too much. Mo's actions have always been adhering to the principle of knowing the fate of the stars and not overstepping. The rules left by the ancestors, as long as they have nothing to do with business, they will never ask too much."

"What a man who knows the fate of the stars and does not overstep! Mo Chen, think about it carefully, how embarrassing these four words have made us into? Many years ago, my father died strangely in Luoxing Pavilion for no apparent reason. Now Mo Chen Yunzhi City, which has been established for more than a hundred years, also turned into a sea of ​​flames overnight. Those who greeted us with smiles were either interested in our money or our business. In the end, I Apart from you, there is no other person by my side whom I can completely trust!"

Mo Zeming retorted angrily.

"Then what are you going to do next, little Patriarch? Mo Chen still can't figure out why you are always so concerned about those three children?"

"Because at least in the current star flow that I can calculate the results, those children are in a very important position, and even obviously affect the changes of the entire star flow. Right now, instead of avoiding on this isolated island, I Instead, I want to take a gamble. I have such ability, so I have to do something. And helping them is actually helping myself. So no matter what, I can only and must continue to count! I must To find out what is going on with all this, we must also find out why my father died!"

Looking at the man in front of him, the silver-haired boy's eyes were full of unwillingness.Mo Chen didn't say any more, and didn't answer, he just walked to the other side and supported his thin shoulders:

"Then, can the little Patriarch please close his eyes?"

"Mo Chen, did you hear what I just said? Don't you understand? For me, there is no time to waste now, let alone rest!"

"Sharpening a knife is not the same as chopping firewood, little Patriarch, just believe me once. Close your eyes first, and then tell me what you saw?"

This time, Mo Chen did not obey the order.The silver-haired boy knew that the man's temper was even more stubborn than his own, so he couldn't resist him, so he closed his eyes:
"I saw the stars—and now my head is full of the stars in the sky..."

"Then, please pay attention, little Patriarch, and try to see every star. In your mind, can they all be seen clearly?"

Mo Chen bent down, pressed against his ear and continued to speak softly.

"Every star - can be seen...Xinyue, Yihuo, Guimu, Bishui...Moreover, they are all in their proper positions, I can see them so clearly! No, this is last night, the night before ——I can actually see all the star streams for half a month, how could this be?!"

The boy suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him in amazement, as if he was taken aback by his discovery.

After a moment of silence, Mo Chen explained again:

"This is actually the mystery of Mo's divination that the old Patriarch never taught you. However, this secret never needs to be taught to you, and there is no way to teach it. Because from the day you were born, Patriarch, It flows through your body along with Mo's blood, but it's just now that it's really awakened."

"Could it be possible for father to close his eyes like this and imagine all the stars in the night sky? Why would he rather tell you about this, but never mention a word to me?"

Mo Zeming became more and more puzzled.The man in front of him asked questions instead of answers, leading the topic to another direction:
"Little Patriarch, do you know why the Mo family has spent huge sums of money to renovate the Luoxing Pavilion in Yunzhi City since your grandfather's time?"

"Because the longer the prediction time for star divination, the more stars need to be included in the calculation. And the star flow changes every day. If ordinary people do not rely on external forces, they will not be able to remember comprehensively just by observing several times at night. .” The silver-haired boy didn’t quite understand why the other party would ask such a question.

"You're right. Ordinary people really can't remember the intricate star stream. But the young Patriarch and Mo's ancestors are not ordinary people! The old Patriarch once sighed that the Taizu Mo Guang didn't need any paper and pens back then. You can easily calculate all the stars in a few months in your sleep. And like you, little Patriarch, he was born with silver hair all over his head!"

"You mean, like Taizu, I can never forget the stars in the sky?"

"That's right. It's just that this ability has gradually weakened in the descendants of the Mo family. Therefore, starting from your grandfather, you have to rely on Luoxing Pavilion. After the birth of the young Patriarch, the old Patriarch has always placed high hopes on you. , but your body has been weak, he just decided to hide this matter, and ordered me not to say anything."

"But now, Mo Chen, why do you disobey your father's wishes?"

Hearing the young man's question, the man suddenly grinned:
"Because, Mo Chen thinks what you said just now, little Patriarch, is correct. The greater your ability, the more you have to do something. Instead of hiding like this for a lifetime, it's better to take a gamble. However, if you want your subordinates to continue to support you in the future Bu Xing, the little Patriarch also has to promise me one thing."

"Don't say one thing, I can promise you a hundred things!"

Seeing that the other party's attitude towards Bu Xing had actually changed, Mo Zeming couldn't help but burst into joy.

"From today onwards, the little Patriarch's daily life must be strictly in accordance with Mo Chen's requirements. Sleep when you should sleep, and eat when you should eat. This is not only for your body, but also for the sake of being able to nourish your energy to do calculations. Right now The time has already passed, if the little Patriarch agrees, then let me wash and sleep."

The silver-haired boy nodded without hesitation, and soon fell into a deep sleep under the service of the other party.He hadn't had a full night's sleep for several days, but now he suddenly untied the knot in his heart, and fell asleep until the evening of the second day.After waking up, the young man didn't put on his clothes immediately, but looked very nervous, and told Mo Chen who was carrying his meal into the house:

"I actually figured it out! The calculation that would have taken a month to complete, I figured it out in a dream last night! Mo Chen, hurry up and invite Miss Leng, I have to tell her the result immediately!"

The man seemed to have guessed what Mo Zeming was going to say, but he discouraged him face to face:

"Could it be that the little Patriarch has counted something bad? Mo Chen thinks it's better not to say it for now."

"Why? After finally calculating the result, there is no reason not to hide it? Do you know that Qingwan will encounter a catastrophe within half a year, and many people will die! But I saw it in advance, and saw it clearly what!"

The silver-haired boy was in a hurry, and wanted to rush out as he spoke.However, Mo Chen just stopped in front of the door, and refused to let him go easily:
"Little Patriarch, do you still remember what the old Patriarch said when he first taught you how to recognize stars?"

"Father... At that time he said that no matter what happens, the star-seeker must not act recklessly. If too many personal feelings are substituted, it will become the most unpredictable variable in the star flow. At this time, the star-seeker It is no longer a stargazer who stays out of the matter, and the resulting instability of the star flow will inevitably make the calculated results more difficult to grasp..."

Mo Zeming muttered to recall, but still shook his head, "But life is at stake now! If the situation is allowed to continue, not only the tens of thousands of islanders, but also Miss Leng, Brother Ziyin, and you Everyone, including me, may die here!"

As he said that, he suddenly pushed Mo Chen away with all his strength, and rushed out the door without looking back. Everyone along the way warned that doom was about to come.However, among the islanders, few believed the young man's words, so they just laughed and heard it.

Seeing that even repeated explanations did not work, Mo Zeming became more and more anxious, and he accidentally threatened the other party, saying that if something bad happened in the future, don't blame him for not reminding them.

Although the islanders are simple, they are not without temper.They didn't know much about this silver-haired kid who locked himself in the house all day long, so they were irritated by him instead.Some of them even ridiculed that he was playing tricks, that he was a dangerous warlock from land, and a charlatan.

It wasn't until Mo Chen hurried over that he relieved the impulsive young man.However, the master and the servant didn't know it at this time. This accident seemed to be the wine koji buried in the grain. All might explode with spirits.
