Mysterious Domain

From the background introduction of the game, we can know that the death of the jade pendant, the murderous knife, and the commander-in-chief is the top priority of this mission. If you want to solve the mystery and complete the mission, you must enter the commander-in-chief's mansion.

Shuaifu should be the garden in the middle of the ancient town, and there is only one magnificent house in the whole scenic spot.Even if the general is dead, there must be clues in that mansion.

But he is just the owner of a bookstore, how can he get close to the Marshal's Mansion, and how can he solve the problem of food and clothing after eating the last meal?

Connecting these two points together, Mo Xi thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.

He rummaged through the bookstore, throwing away the best-selling martial arts novels of the Republic of China, looking for some old books, the older the better, and handwritten books are the best.

Picking from left to right, he finally asked him to choose a few books closely related to Feng Shui and metaphysics.One of the pages was even more yellow, as if turning the pages with a little force would turn the whole book into fly ash.

Lin Fuwang was not very literate, and could barely remember the names of bestsellers. These old books were placed in front of him, and he could not read many characters. He scratched his head and asked Mo Qi, "Boss, what kind of books are these?"

One is "Analysis of the Book of Changes" written by someone who doesn't know, the other is "Liu Bowen's Pushing Back Picture", and the last book that is about to turn into ashes doesn't even have a cover. I only know that it is a book about funerals, sacrifices and worshiping gods. old books.

The three books are all in traditional Chinese and vertical, and Mo Xi even guessed that he could understand [-]% to [-]% of them, and his eyes hurt when he read them.

"Now the whole town is panicking. I'm just a commoner. I can't do much. The only thing I can do is to dedicate these three books to the commander's mansion, hoping to help the military masters above think of a solution to the problem." Mo Xi said , "By the way, if the book is useful, maybe you can get some rewards back. It's best to reward some food."

"Shopkeeper Mo, you are so capable and smart!" Lin Fuwang looked at Mo Qi with star eyes.

Mo Xi didn't know how the owner of the bookstore got along with Lin Fuwang on weekdays, but he believed that Lin Fuwang would never look at shopkeeper Mo the way fans look at idols in the past.

He is in this era, and he is not blind, so it is not convenient for him to wear glamorous sunglasses, so the aura of glamor is naturally released casually.Fortunately, he has only seen two people so far, one is Lin Fuwang, and the other is a little girl sheltering from the rain.

Love doesn't necessarily come from the aura of a heartthrob, as long as there is love in the heart, family, friendship, love, any kind of emotion is fine.Under the influence of the aura of the crowd, Lin Fuwang gradually developed a feeling of dependence and admiration for the shopkeeper Mo, which is a bit similar to the generals and soldiers in ancient times.

This kind of relationship is much better than love, and Lin Fuwang doesn't seem to be affected by the negative effects. It's okay to maintain such a relationship.

The troublesome thing is this little girl, and I don't know what kind of feelings she has.

Thinking that entering the Shuai Mansion will inevitably cause entanglements with various players. To hide your identity, it is best to have a shield.Mo Xi pondered for a moment, then waved to the little girl: "Come here."

The little girl shivering from the cold walked into the bookstore, carefully avoiding the books, so as not to get the rainwater on her body from getting on Mo's books.

"I don't have any food for you, but I can't bear to see you get sick in the rain. Follow me to the room. I'll check if there are any old clothes. Let's change." Mo Xi said.

The little girl looked at Mo Qi for a while, then grinned at him. She was probably in the teething period, and one of the front teeth fell out, and it was still a small missing tooth.

Mo Qi led her into the room, and guided her to take a clean cloth to wipe her hair. While she was wiping her head and face, she found a patched short shirt from the closet. The little girl wore it much bigger, but it was better than Strong in wet clothes.

When the little girl saw that he had brought out his clothes, she immediately wanted to take off her shirt. Mo Xi hurriedly said, "Although you are a child, there is still a difference between men and women. I will go out first before you change. Remember to dry yourself completely before changing, so as not to Dry clothes are also wet."

He went out, closed the door, and heard the rustling sound of changing clothes inside, and said, "Call me when you're done changing."

Lin Fuwang came over and gave Mo Qi a thumbs up: "Shopkeeper Mo, you have a kind heart. When you are in such a difficult time, you still want to help others."

Looking at Lin Fuwang's eyes, I'm afraid he's about to become Mo Qi's mindless braggart.

Mo Xi didn't answer, he was not a pure and kind person, and he would not show kindness to a little girl who might not exist in this world without reason. He did all this for a purpose.

"It's changed." The little girl's obedient and hoarse voice came from the room.

Mo Xi walked in and saw that the clothes were too big, the jacket looked like a skirt, and the trousers were too long.

Since there are patches on this dress, there must be needlework in the closet.Mo Xi dug out the needle and thread, quickly sewed a few stitches on the little girl's clothes, rolled up the trouser legs, tucked up the trouser waist, and changed the clothes into a dusty little skirt.

Although it still doesn't fit well, it's much better than before. At least you don't have to walk with your pants up.

There was really no way to make the shoes smaller. The little girl was barefoot and had scars all over her feet. Mo Xi could only cut some fabric from clothes that were too big and stuff them into the shoes for the little girl to wear temporarily.

The reason why he has these skills is also thanks to his working experience.When he was in class, he couldn't work full-time. He could only do some hourly labor and odd manual work such as making artificial flowers. However, he has developed a skill of ingenuity, and simple sewing and mending is not a problem.

The clean little girl hugged Mo Xi's leg and whispered, "You are so kind."

Mo Xi stroked her shofar braid, and said softly, "I am old enough to be your father. No matter who comes to ask me in the future, why don't you just call me Daddy?"

"Daddy!" The little girl responded unceremoniously.

Mo Xi observed the little girl again, and felt that it was very unlikely that she was a player.If he was a player, he should find a way to go to the handsome mansion to beg for food at this time, instead of relying on him, an ordinary bookstore owner.And the little girl is really weak and pitiful, not just pretending.

The little girl's appearance was too disguised, so Mo Xi recognized her as his daughter and brought her to appear in front of the players.The way the player sees the little girl's dependence on him is also a kind of protection for his identity.

"What's your name?" Mo Xi asked.

"Little red coat." The little girl replied.

"Then I'll call you Xiaohong," Mo Xi said, "My surname is Mo, and I'm the shopkeeper of this bookstore. Anyone who asks, you can answer accordingly."

"Then my name is Mo Xiaohong?" the little girl asked.

"If you don't mind, it's okay to take my surname Mo for a while." Mo Xi rubbed her head again, his movements were very gentle.

The little girl stared at Mo Xi and said, "Okay, my father and I are surnamed Mo."

Probably due to the influence of the aura of being a glamorous person, the little girl has a natural admiration for Mo Xi, and she really looks like a father and daughter.

Sure enough, as Lin Fuwang said, the rain stopped after noon. The rain was not heavy at all. After a while, the accumulated water on the road became much less, but it was still a little slippery.Mo Xi couldn't wait until the road was dry, so he held Mo Xiaohong's hand, wrapped several books in oiled paper, and prepared to go out to sell books at the Shuai Mansion.

Lin Fuwang looked at Mo Xi eagerly. Mo Qi rummaged through the counter for a long time, but couldn't find half a coin, so he could only look at Lin Fuwang with "helpless" eyes.

"Shopkeeper, I can bear it for a day, can you come back with food at night?" Lin Fuwang said.

"I'll try my best," Mo Qi told him before leaving, "Close the door after I leave, in case someone comes to ask for debts, it will be bad if you get hurt."

Mo Xi didn't forget that the background of the game was that he owed a lot of money to buy goods. Even if it was a game, he didn't forget to take precautions against it.

"Okay, okay, I will pretend that there is no one in the room." Lin Fuwang agreed.

Only then did Mo Qi feel relieved and took his cheap daughter's hand to the commander's mansion. Mo Xiaohong stared at Mo Qi while gnawing on her fingers.

When I came to the garden of the scenic spot, it was true that the plaque at the gate said "The Mansion of the Marshal", and "handsome" was also written as "teacher". It can be seen that the people in the mansion of the Marshal are not very educated from top to bottom.There are still white flowers hanging on the plaque of the commander's mansion, presumably they are holding a funeral for the commander in chief.

Mo Xi boldly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The concierge was a thin and tall young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. He was wearing a military uniform that Mo Xi had never seen before, with a gun on his waist. He had a very arrogant attitude. He opened the door and said, "Who dares to come to the commander's mansion to act wild?"

"The villain is the shopkeeper of the bookstore in the town, and he is here to deliver some books to Jun Ye." Mo Xi said.

"Come on, who wants to read a book." The gatekeeper had a headache when he heard the words, and pushed Mo Xi hard.

Mo Xi's body was not as strong as his original body, and he would lose his footing when pushed by him. If Mo Xiaohong hadn't supported him from behind, he might have fallen to the ground.

Mo Xiaohong gnawed her fingers and stared at the porter guard.

"This book is not ordinary." Mo Qi stabilized his body and took out the old book wrapped in oiled paper in a hurry. "This is a book handed down by my family. I have done a lot of research on the sacrificial offerings in the cemetery. Maybe there is a way to calm down those who are full of people." It is a jade pendant of evil spirit."

The matter of Yupei caused a lot of trouble in the city, and everyone knew that they couldn't get out of the town. If it weren't for the fear of the soldiers in the Shuai's mansion, the people in the town would have panicked and robbed supplies, and now they can maintain law and order because of Shuai. The government has guns.

Hearing that there is a way to suppress the jade pendant, the concierge's face immediately became friendly. He looked Mo Xi up and down, and when the disgust disappeared, the halo of being a fan of thousands of people naturally took effect. The concierge couldn't help sighing: "Although you are old, But her looks are not bad, and scholars are indeed all bad boys."

Mo Xiaohong continued to gnaw her fingers furiously, and she didn't know how she could gnaw so vigorously because she only had one front tooth.

Mo Qi didn't change his face, he took the "Zhouyi Analysis", opened the page of the Eight Diagrams and handed it to the concierge.

There are not many literate people these days, and the concierge felt a headache when he saw the pile of words, so he quickly pushed the book away and said, "Don't show it to me, I'll take you to see the clerk, you must have something to talk about."

Mo Xi led Xiao Hong and was about to enter the door, but the concierge stopped him and asked, "Who is this little girl?"

"This is the villain's daughter, she is too young, and the town is not stable now, I don't feel relieved to leave her alone in the shop, I wonder if the military master can be accommodating?" Mo Xi said.

"You already have a daughter, and this little boy doesn't know which daughter-in-law is cheaper." The concierge glanced at Mo Qi's face frivolously, and seeing his lowered eyebrows, he moved out of the way, "Okay, if you can figure out The way to leave this broken town, you and your daughter are both distinguished guests of the handsome mansion, come in."

He finally let Mo Xi in and led Mo Xi to the main hall.

The main hall door was open, and a coffin was parked in the center, covered with a white cloth to block the face of the deceased.

Strangely, a piece of the white cloth was torn open, exposing a knife on purpose.

The deceased should be the legendary commander who died strangely, but I don't know why the knife is still on the body after the person is dead, why didn't he draw the knife?

"Don't look around, let's enter the side hall through the side door," the doorman tugged at Mo Xi, "The commander died... Hey, anyway, it doesn't look like someone did it, and the murderous knife is so evil that no one dares to draw it. "

"When will the commander be buried?" Mo Xi asked.

"It's an old custom in his family to suspend the spirit for seven days, and this is only the third day. My mother actually has to suspend for seven days. Fortunately, it's raining and cool these days, otherwise it will stink!" The porter said with a face full of fear explain.

"When did it start to rain in our town at night and stop at noon?" Mo Xi asked.

"Isn't it the night that the commander died..." The concierge paused, and he looked at Mo Qi, "Don't you mean that the rain is related to the death of the commander?"

Mo Xi said lightly, "I'm just guessing."

These words seemed to calm down the concierge, he regarded Mo Xi as someone with real ability, and his attitude became respectful: "Sir, this way please."

Mo Xiaohong's movement of nibbling her fingers slowed down.
