Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 7416 A Qing
ink village.

The old village chief slapped the tiger puppet on the back, and the tiger puppet, which was walking slowly on the table, stopped immediately.

The red light in the eye sockets of the tiger puppet slowly dissipated and returned to black again.

"The most important thing is a map inside the tiger puppet. This map was passed down by our ancestors in Mo Village..."

"The old ancestor of Mo Village was a genius of the Mohist family back then. He was at the pinnacle of mechanism puppetry. He even created a lot of techniques by himself, but later he couldn't find a qualified heir, and it was difficult for his own descendants to inherit them. Some extremely difficult puppet techniques and mechanical techniques created by myself were written in books with special animal skins and placed in an ancient tomb."

"The map inside the tiger puppet is exactly the map where the ancient tomb is located," said the old village head.

"How many years have passed since the time of the ancestors of Mo Village?" Luo Xingchen asked.

Time is the most ruthless. If the age is too long, some ancient tomb may have been destroyed by changes in mountains and rivers or terrain changes, and disappeared underground, never to be found again.

"About five hundred years," said the old village chief.

"If it's 500 years, it's not too old. This map is probably valuable." Luo Xingchen said.

"Ah Qing wants to take the map, but she doesn't know where it is..."

The old village chief paused, and continued: "This box was recently taken out by the old man. It was placed in a hidden place in the back mountain before, and the old man didn't tell anyone."

"No wonder you took the box home a while ago."

Mo Chi suddenly said.

When the old village chief said this, Luo Xingchen and Ziyan thought of someone at the same time.

Puppeteer!

Back then in Iron Tooth City, they met the puppet master. Of course, Ouyang Heng had the most contact with the puppet master.

At that time, Ziyan and Luo Xingchen knew that the puppet master was a woman.

However, since the dust settled in Iron Fang City and Princess Qiqige became the new Iron Fang Queen, the puppeteer disappeared without a trace and has not been traced.

Could it be that Ah Qing is related to the puppet master?
Obviously, the old village chief may know the truth.

"Ah Qing is your adopted daughter? But we haven't seen any Ah Qing since we were young." Mo Chi asked doubtfully.

"That's because Ah Qing lives in Fengle County. Every few days, I will go to the county to give her some money and food. In the county, I found a mother-in-law to take care of her. In addition, I also found a husband for her to teach her Read and write... for six years..."

"When she was 16 years old, she left suddenly and left a letter, and this old man knew something was wrong."

"She blamed me for the death of her parents, and said she would seek revenge in the future." The old village head sighed.

"Old village chief, what is the origin of this Ah Qing?" Luo Xingchen couldn't help asking.

"It starts with the old ancestors of Mo Village," said the old village head.

"The new generation of mechanism technique of the Mohists created by the old ancestor, called the puppet technique, he took in several disciples, but the most talented disciple among them was not righteous. After the ancestor found out later, he was expelled from the sect. After many years, the descendants of the ancestors knew that the disciple was domineering in the Jianghu and was called the puppet master..."

"The lineage of the puppet master has been passed down, and the descendants of the ancestors hid in the mountains in order to avoid the pursuit of the puppet master's lineage, and have not been discovered for hundreds of years."

"But for hundreds of years, there have been rumors of puppet masters in the world."

"30 years ago, there was a young man in Mo Village named Mo Kui. He had a good relationship with me since childhood. When Mo Kui was there, he went to Tai'an City once and encountered a contemporary puppet master. He was accepted as a disciple by the puppet master. And after being taught by the puppet master, Mo Kui wants to seize the complete puppet art left by the ancestors of the Mo family."

"Several times, he wanted to harm me, but in the end, he reaped the consequences and was used by his master puppet master. He died unexpectedly. Before he died, he entrusted his daughter to me."

The old village chief sighed deeply.

"Is the daughter Ah Qing?"

Luo Xingchen said.

"Yes, Mo Kui's daughter is Ah Qing. After the accidental death of Mo Kui and his wife, I brought Ah Qing back to Tai'an City and brought her to Fengle County...Fengle County is closer to Mo Village, so I can take care of her. .”

"Who would have thought that Ah Qing would still leave me after six years of raising her."

"It's the old man's fault."

The old village chief wiped his eyes with his hand.

"Who did Ah Qing go with back then? Could it be Mo Kui's master, that old puppet master?" Luo Xingchen asked.

"No, at that time, the old puppet master was already dead, most likely one of his disciples, but I don't know who that person is, and Mo Kui didn't tell me." The old village head shook his head.

"Maybe, when Mo Kui entrusted his daughter to you, he already saved a hand." Luo Xingchen frowned.

"It's not just one hand, at least several." The old village chief said.

"It seems that the old village head knows it well."

"I only figured it out later. Mo Kui left behind, not only for Ah Qing, but also for his junior brother. When will he take Ah Qing away and tell her the so-called 'truth'? It's all under his arrangement." The old village chief's eyes were somewhat desolate.

Back then, he sincerely raised Ah Qing as his daughter, who knew that such a thing would happen.

And to this day, the hatred of the past has continued to the present, to his grandchildren.

"That Mo Kui, he really planned it out, and even killed you." Luo Xingchen could see that if this person was too kind, he would be bullied.

People say that when a person is about to die, his words are good.

Why do some people, even when they are about to die, still have such vicious thoughts in their minds?

"It's all over, I recognize it, and it's been more than ten years, and Ah Qing has come back again." The old village chief sighed.

"She came back from her studies, she has enough strength, maybe she has a backer, so she wants to come back for revenge, take the map by the way, and find the complete puppet technique." Luo Xingchen said.

"With the strength of Ah Qing's puppet master, it's not difficult to destroy the entire Mo village, right? Why did you quietly capture the little tiger baby?" Zi Yan asked.

"She can't destroy Mo Village. Our Mo Village still has some strength... Although our force is not high, there are traps and formations in our Mo Village." The old village chief said.

"So that's the case, then she will come to the door sooner or later, we can wait in the village."

Since this is the case, Luo Xingchen thinks that there is no need to go out to find the puppet master's whereabouts.

Sooner or later, she will come to the door again, and use the little tiger baby as a bargaining chip to ask for the map.

"She can calculate Mo Village's organs and formations, but she can't calculate the strength we have." Zi Yan said lightly.

"Then I would like to thank my lord for your great help. Afterwards, Mo Village will definitely repay you." The old village head bowed and saluted.

But halfway through the bend, Luo Xingchen supported him.

"Old village chief, there is no need to be polite. We are officials of the imperial court, and we are obliged to help the subjects of Daqi to solve their problems." Luo Xingchen said.
