Chapter 384

Anyway, Mo Jiuye already had control of the father's gu worms in his hands. As long as the mother gu remained alive, the subsidiary gu inside the father's body would not endanger his life.

Once the father regained some strength, the gu extraction surgery could be performed on him.

However, Mo Jiuye still had a concern.

That is, as long as the puppet gu inside the father's body is not removed, he will not have independent consciousness.

It is estimated that when he wakes up, he will continue to do what he did when he was under control.

Mo Jiuye's thoughts were not understood by the other brothers. Seeing their father's condition improve, they all stood up and went to check the situation inside the entire tomb.

Apart from the coffin and Mo Qing, there were remnants of animals scattered on the ground.

From this, it can be determined that their father has been surviving by eating these things.

And judging by his appearance, he should have been controlled by Mr. Si Meng to keep vigil here.

Therefore, the brothers concluded that these animal remains were their father's food, but none of them were brought back by him from hunting.

So, the purpose of Mo Jiuye and Mo Qing being here is self-evident.

Mr. Si Meng is really good at assigning tasks. He made Mo Qing keep vigil here, while Mo Jiuye and Mo Qing's eldest and second brothers were responsible for hunting and providing him with wild animals to eat, ensuring the survival of their father and the three of them until now.

As for the central coffin, there is no doubt that it belongs to Princess Yuan Meng of the Southern Frontier.

Upon closer observation, there are ten memorial tablets around the coffin, each engraved with the names of all the male members of the Mo family.

Not only that, but the tablets also record a specific date, which is the date of their deaths.

However, this date is somewhat special—it is the beginning of July this year.

It is still the end of May now, which means there is still more than a month until the beginning of July.

While they are still alive, their memorial tablets have already been made, and the date of their deaths has been written. This is enough to prove that Mr. Si Meng's conspiracy is to capture all the male members of the Mo family and plan to kill them on the day of July 7th this year, in order to avenge Yuan Meng.

The brothers angrily threw all the memorial tablets into the copper basin, and Mo Liu set them on fire with a torch, saying in anger, "Si Meng, you old devil, you've really gone too far."

Although the others didn't say anything, the anger in their hearts was no less than that of Mo Jiuye.

Mo Jiuye looked at the burning memorial tablets in the copper basin, stood up angrily, pried open a corner of the coffin lid with a dagger, and then exerted force to open the coffin.

Inside, there was no Yuan Meng's corpse, only a set of very exquisite palace attire.

On one side of the coffin, there was a large memorial tablet with clear engravings—Spirit Tablet of Beloved Wife Yuan Meng!

Mo Jiuye casually picked up the spirit tablet and crushed it with force, then took out the palace attire from inside and threw it into the copper basin.

The fire in the copper basin had not completely extinguished yet, and when it encountered the flammable palace attire, it burst into flames again.

At this moment, Mo Qing should have been affected by the cardiac stimulant needle in his body, and he was showing slight movements, but it seemed a bit sluggish.

Mo Jiuye saw Mo Qing's hand reaching towards the side, skillfully picking up a stack of paper money, and preparing to throw it into the bronze basin.

Mo Jiuye's eldest brother, with bloodshot eyes, hugged him tightly.

"Father, this is the archenemy who has caused great harm to our Mo Family. We cannot treat her like this."

However, Mo Qing showed no response at all and continued to maintain the motion of burning the paper money.

Mo Jiuye knew clearly that his father was under the influence of a puppetry gu, which caused him to lack autonomous consciousness.

While his brothers were still trying to persuade, Mo Jiuye had already stepped forward and hugged his father from behind.

Mo Qing, who already had weak physical strength, lost his ability to move after being held by Mo Jiuye.

His eyes became vacant, and he stopped his actions, allowing Mo Jiuye to hold him.

Seeing that he had successfully restrained his father, Mo Jiuye planned to carry him away from that spot.

However, to everyone's surprise, while Mo Jiuye had lifted him up, his father remained in a kneeling position, with his legs curled up and unable to stretch out.

It looked as if Mo Jiuye was carrying a corpse.

At this point, the brothers became anxious.

"Father, what's happening to your legs?" Six Brother's voice choked up.

Unfortunately, no matter how urgent the brothers appeared, Mo Qing showed no response, still staring ahead with vacant eyes, and if not for Mo Jiuye restraining his hands, he would still be attempting to burn the paper money.

"Jiuye, what's wrong with father's legs?" Second Brother had already guessed a possible reason, but deep down, he was unwilling to believe it and asked anyway. Mo Jiuye had arrived at the same conclusion, that his father's legs were unable to stretch out due to the long-term kneeling posture.

In this situation, he had no way to help and dared not risk trying to stretch them out. He could only bring his father back to Xi Ling Village and let his wife figure out a solution.

"Let's take father away from here first and then come up with a plan." Although Mo Jiuye's tone sounded calm, his mind was in chaos.

Although his father had regained consciousness, when he held him, Mo Jiuye could feel how weak his life force was.

He couldn't guarantee that his father would survive after leaving this place.

He dared not voice such thoughts and didn't want to face such a reality.

Given the current situation, the best choice was to take his father away from this cursed place.

Six Brother approached Mo Jiuye.

"Jiuye, don't worry, I'll try using lightness skills to see if there are any obstacles up there."

Mo Jiuye didn't refute this. They had already thoroughly searched the tomb, and apart from the top of the swamp, there was simply no other entrance or exit.

Therefore, if they wanted to leave, they could only go back the way they came.

"Alright, be careful, Six Brother."

As Mo Jiuye's words fell, Six Brother had already leaped up using his lightness skills.

Because the space here was relatively large and empty, Six Brother could only use the surrounding walls as support.

It could be said that for someone who didn't possess martial skills, entering this place and trying to leave would be as difficult as reaching the heavens.

Fortunately, all the Mo Family members were martial arts experts, so leaving this place was not only not difficult but as easy as turning over their hands.

Sixth Brother's head broke through the softness of the swamp, and he reappeared in the same spot he had just entered.

After looking around, he didn't see anything unusual, so he jumped down again.

This whole process could be described as taking no more than a blink of an eye.

Mojyuye saw him reappear and asked, "Sixth Brother, how's the situation?"

"No problem at all. As long as we use light skills to go up, we'll be back in the same place we were before we came in."

Now, the brothers had a clear idea and planned to leave this place immediately with their father.

At the same time, Sixth Brother approached Mo Jiuye.

"Ninth Brother, give our father to me. I just went up once and gained some experience, so it will be easier for me."
