The universal system is a bit cute

Chapter 228 Recalling the Past

Zuo Muchen stared blankly at the stream for a while, his tense expression gradually relaxed.

Akita Tian couldn't help but have new doubts in his heart.

Zuo Muchen likes to stay by the water. Is it because the water can soothe his emotions?So, what water-related things has he experienced?

Thinking about it, that should be something that makes him feel at ease or happy, which is a good thing.

Seeing that Zuo Muchen became calm, Akita held his hand and asked tentatively: "Muchen, what did you think of?"

She didn't dare to mention the Little House directly, for fear of irritating Zuo Muchen.

Zuo Muchen held Akita Tian's hand tightly with his backhand, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Tian Tian, ​​the man with the grimace, that man with the grimace lives in that wooden house."

"Is this where you saw the ghost-faced man?" Akita asked in confirmation.

Seeing that Zuo Muchen himself took the initiative to mention this matter, she felt a lot more determined and no longer cautious, and did not dare to talk about this topic.

Zuo Muchen nodded.

Akita asked again: "When did this happen?"

She really wanted to ask what happened, but she still felt that it would be better to proceed step by step, and slowly extract some information from Zuo Muchen, instead of giving him too much stimulation all at once.

Zuo Muchen thought about it and said: "It happened a long, long time ago. It seems that I was very young at that time. I can't remember clearly, but I remember that I had to look up to see his face."

Akita imagined the scene.

Zuo Muchen needed to raise his head to see Grimacing Man's face, which meant that he was very short at that time, perhaps not even reaching Grimacing Man's waist.

At least, not beyond the chest.

Qiu Tiantian suddenly remembered how he behaved when he first met Zuo Muchen. At that time, he was like a five or six-year-old child.

Regardless of IQ or character, they all stay at that stage.

She lost her voice and asked: "At that time, you were only five or six years old? Probably, so tall?"

According to his impression of the height of five or six-year-old children, Akita made a rough gesture.

Zuo Muchen got up, squatted down to the same height as Akita Tian's gesture, then raised his head to look at her.

After simulating it again, his expression was greatly shaken, his legs softened, and he sat down on the ground again.

"It's possible. He's a man, so he should be taller than you. So, I might have been about the same height at that time. Tiantian, why are you gesturing at this height? Why do you say I'm only five or six years old? What do you know?"

Akita pondered for a moment and explained carefully: "Mu Chen, you have returned to normal now. I will tell you the truth. Don't be sad or think too much."

"I understand." Zuo Muchen nodded heavily.

He has accepted the fact that he has been stupid for many years, and he knows what Akita Tian probably wants to explain, and his psychological endurance is not enough.

Akita said: "It's like this. You used to behave like a five or six-year-old child. When you said that just now, I thought that you might be that age when you met the ghost-faced man. I In fact, it’s just a wild guess. After all, I don’t know what he did to you. Well, but I think that if you can have a normal impression of him, then you may be normal when you meet him.”

In fact, she really didn't have much basis for inference, she really just guessed based on her feelings.

She needs Zuo Muchen to provide more things to prove this point.

Zuo Muchen's brows were wrinkled again, tightly, the expression on his face seemed to be a little painful.

Akita looked at him with concern, in case something happened to him, she would help him in time.

Fortunately, Zuo Muchen has indeed matured a lot now, he tried his best to suppress himself, and let himself gradually calm down.

He rubbed his forehead and said with lingering fear: "Tiantian, your guess may be true. That grimace man, he, he is good or bad, he made me feel so painful. It seems that after meeting him, I It becomes different."

He put his hand on his forehead and shook his head.

Akita supported him, not daring to ask further questions.

She really wanted to know what the ghost face man did to Zuo Muchen, but she didn't dare to ask, she could only wait, wait patiently, waiting for Zuo Muchen to tell her the answer.

She believed that with Zuo Muchen's trust in her, as long as he could say something, he would definitely tell her.

After a while, Zuo Muchen put down his hand, glanced at her, and said slowly: "Do you want to know what he did to me?"

Akita said softly: "Mu Chen, I just want to help you. To help you, I need to know more about what happened to you. However, if those things cause you too much pain, it doesn't matter if you don't recall it. The past is past. Now, let’s not always dwell on the pain of the past. We have a future. We just need to live a good future and be happy. Sometimes, forgetting the past is also a good thing.”

She was telling the truth.

She did want to know more about the past.However, as she said herself, if those past events would have a bad impact on Zuo Muchen, then it would be okay not to know.

Zuo Muchen's eyes were a little wet, obviously moved by Akita.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Tiantian, I suddenly thought of the past just now, and it was really painful. Those scenes were like knives, cutting my brain. The pain I had suffered seemed to come back all of a sudden, sweeping across To me, it seems to make me feel it all over again. So, I am very scared and dare not bring it up again. But now, I am much better. I know, those things are over, and those pains are over, will not Come back to me. The most important thing is that with you by my side, I am not afraid of anything."

Akita couldn't help laughing.

Being able to gain such trust from Zuo Muchen is not in vain for her care for him these days.

Zuo Muchen turned his head sideways, looked at the flowing stream, and said slowly: "That man, the ghost-faced man, he seems to have melted something from me."

"Spiritual power?" Akita asked in a voiceless voice.

It is not difficult to infer this from a series of recent events.

Zuo Muchen nodded.

"Probably. I remember that my body used to be very light, and everything I did was effortless. My mind was very clear, and I was not confused at all. There was always a thin airflow flowing in my body, which was very comfortable. But , one day, I met the Grimace Man, and he took me to this place, into that cabin. He grabbed my wrist and injected more powerful airflow into my body. These airflows were so overbearing that it made me My whole body felt very uncomfortable and painful. I can't describe the pain. I wanted to scream, but I couldn't scream. After a long time, he withdrew the air flow with great difficulty, and I found that my body became empty. It seemed like something important had been taken away. I became very weak and weak, and I collapsed on the ground."

Akita's eyes were filled with pity.

At that time, Zuo Muchen was still a child, and he had to endure such pain.

"What happened next?" Her voice trembled.

Zuo Muchen shook his head and said: "I don't remember very clearly what happened afterwards. Looking back now, it seems that it was from that time that I became very confused. I just knew how to play all day long and didn't want to do anything else. worry."

Akita now had no doubt that Zuo Muchen's stupidity was related to the Grimace Man.

It's because the Ghostface Man did that to him, causing his IQ to stay at the level it was at that time.

"Mu Chen, after that, you can't feel spiritual power in your body anymore?" Akita asked.

She guessed that the grimacing man must have absorbed the spiritual power of Zuo Muchen.

His spiritual power was lost, his body was damaged, and his intelligence and heart were no longer growing.

Zuo Muchen nodded.

"Yes, after that, I no longer had that flow of air in my body, nor did I have that comfortable feeling. Until that day, you grabbed my hand and poured spiritual power into my hand."

Akita knew what he was referring to.

On the day of returning home, Zuo Muchen saw a stall selling masks on the street, and was so frightened that he lost control of his mind.In order to comfort him, she grabbed his hand and injected spiritual power into his body.

That was the first time she did this to him.

At that time, she didn't know why she was like this. She just felt that since practicing made people feel comfortable and made her mind clear, it might be able to appease Zuo Muchen.

So she did.

Unexpectedly, it really worked.Moreover, the effect is so obvious.

Although Akita figured this out, more questions emerged in her mind.

At that time, Zuo Muchen was still a child of five or six years old, how could he cultivate spiritual power in his body?

Either, he started practicing at a very young age, or, he is a genius.

Or, something high-handed did to him.

Akita suddenly thought of Mo Yuan.

She came into contact with cultivation because of Mo Yuan.Mo Yuan has a way to make her generate spiritual power at once, so Zuo Muchen may also encounter the same opportunity.

Could it be that Mo Yuan did this to Zuo Muchen before?

Um, no, it shouldn't be Mo Yuan. At that time, Mo Yuan was still young, probably only a teenager, and his cultivation base was not very high.

The person who exerted influence on Zuo Muchen should be someone else, but I don't know if that person has anything to do with Mo Yuan.

Thinking of Mo Yuan's behavior, she felt that this possibility was not impossible.

If that's the case, it would be good, at least it means that Mo Yuan didn't intend to hurt Zuo Muchen.

What's more, if Zuo Muchen's spiritual power is really gone, why is the effect so obvious now that she is practicing with him?
Could it be that those spiritual powers have not been dissolved, but have been hidden in the body?
However, she practiced with him and knew his physical condition best. She didn't realize that there was spiritual power hidden in his body.

Is it because her realm is not high enough to notice it?

Akita thought for a while and asked, "Mu Chen, you said you had spiritual power in your body at that time, so when did you start practicing?"

Now, she is much bolder and asks whenever she thinks of it.

Because the ghost face man has already figured out what he did to Zuo Muchen, and other things probably won't cause too much harm to Zuo Muchen.

Zuo Muchen's eyes showed confusion.

"I don't know. It seems that I have never practiced before, and I don't know the method of cultivation. For some reason, there are those air currents in my body, and they flow automatically in my body. I don't understand what's going on. .”

Now Qiu Tiantian believed even more that someone must have done something to Zuo Muchen.

The strange thing is, since the expert let Zuo Muchen generate spiritual power in his body, why didn't he teach him the method of cultivation?
Was he too young to teach at that time?Or did something unexpected happen and you were unable to teach him?
Akita asked again: "Can you still remember the routes of the air flow? Is the route the same as when I practiced with you?"

Zuo Muchen frowned and thought for a while, then said: "It seems to be similar, roughly like that, but it seems not exactly the same. I can't tell you the specifics. It's been too long, and my impression It's very vague. If those spiritual powers can come back, I don't know if they will work automatically. Then I can compare."

Akita pondered his words and asked: "You can feel it now to see if there is spiritual power in your body. When I practiced with you, I felt that the air flow was very smooth in your body. In fact, at that time, I thought, Maybe you have practiced and opened up all the meridians in your body. However, I am not sure."

Zuo Muchen tried it, then shook his head in disappointment.

"No, I can't feel it."

Akita Tian wanted to practice with him again, to see if he could draw out his own spiritual power.

But thinking about where they were now, they gave up the idea.

If you want to practice, you should wait until you return to Qixia Residence.

She is now increasingly suspicious that the person who helped Zuo Muchen is most likely related to Mo Yuan.

Otherwise, how could the operation routes of the exercises be so similar?

Otherwise, why did Mo Yuan put so much effort into inducing her to practice with Zuo Muchen?
Mo Yuan must know something.

If there is a chance, she really wants to have a good talk with Mo Yuan again, to see if she can dig out some useful information from him.

Qiu Tiantian thought for a while, pulled Zuo Mu Chen up, and said, "Mu Chen, why don't we go to that wooden house again?"

She looked at Zuo Muchen nervously, to see his reaction.

If Zuo Muchen was not too resistant to her suggestion, but just a little hesitant or afraid, she would convince him to go and have a look together.

If he reacts too violently, if he rejects the place too much, she will not force him.

When Zuo Muchen heard the wooden house, his eyes averted a little, and his body tended to retreat, but he quickly controlled his uneasiness, looked at Akita Tian bravely and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look."

Akita was very pleased.

This kid is really brave, brave and smart.

He obviously had a psychological shadow on that place, but he overcame his fear and decided to take a look. What is this bravery?
Moreover, he must understand why she wanted to go with him to see that place.

Things have developed to this point, of course, further exploration is needed to discover the truth.

Akita Tian comforted and said: "Don't be afraid. I just looked at that place, and it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time. The ghost face man should not be there, we don't have to be afraid of him. Well, it doesn't matter even if he is, we are your elder brother's younger brother and Brother and sister, he should not dare to do anything to us, at least on the surface."
