Chapter 385
Mo Jiuye did not refuse. Sixth elder brother's lightness skill was no worse than his own, not to mention that he had other things he wanted to deal with.
Seeing that the three elder brothers had used their lightness skills to take father away, Mo Jiuye tore off the hem of his clothes and flew up to collect all the Night Pearl hanging in the tomb.
He had learned this good habit from his wife. When he encountered treasures, especially those of his enemies, he must not leave them behind.
Although Mo Jiuye did not have a space as powerful as his wife's, taking away these few Night Pearls was no problem.
The Night Pearls were wrapped up but still could not completely block their glow.
Although the tomb was much darker, Mo Jiuye's vision was not affected at all.
He scanned the place again, scattering the large amount of paper money stored here around the tomb, and threw down a match as he leapt up with his lightness skill.
The paper money caught fire as soon as it met the match, burning up instantly. Mo Jiuye quickly left this place.
There was no need to ask, this was the place Si Meng old fox cared about the most. He must destroy it to torment Si Meng even after death.
When Mo Jiuye reappeared on the ground, the elder brothers had already settled father down nearby.
Through the glow of the seven wrapped Night Pearls, he could see that father was still kneeling with his right hand continuously taking and burning paper money.
The only way to change this situation was to remove the gu from father.
Given father's current weak state, Mo Jiuye was not fully confident he could successfully remove the gu worm from him.
However, letting father continue like this was not a long-term solution.
Sixth elder brother had witnessed Mo Jiuye removing gu worms from Big Brother and Second Brother before, and believed that Ninth Younger Brother could successfully remove the gu worm from father as well.
"Ninth younger brother, shall we try removing the gu from father first?"
Mo Jiuye was hesitating the whole time. After all, he was not fully confident. But he also did not want to see father tormenting himself like this.
Instead of answering Sixth elder brother directly, he said, "Let's take father back to the cave first, and check on Third elder brother and the others as well. There are many wild beasts here, especially at night. Wolf packs may come out hunting anytime."
Third elder brother and the others have limited mobility now. It would be too unfortunate if any danger befalls them."
The brothers tacitly nodded and carried father towards the cave swiftly.
When they were about two li away from the cave, the brothers heard wolf howls.
"Not good, Third elder brother and the others are in danger!"
By this point, Second Brother had already carried Father in and gently laid him down beside Mo Yunfeng's side.
"Yunfeng, Father's condition is not very good." There was undisguised grief in Second Brother's tone.
Mo Yunfeng was scrutinizing Father closely, finding it hard to believe that this emaciated, aging man would be his father.
In his impression, Father had been tall and valiant, while the old man before him now bore not a trace of Father in his prime.
He reached out a trembling hand, trying to touch Father. But he was startled by Mo Qing's sudden movement.
Mo Qing was still repeating his previous actions of taking paper money by his side and burning it. This time, he happened to grab Mo Yunfeng's arm.
Mo Yunfeng had little strength to begin with. Getting his arm pulled by Mo Qing to make the gesture of offering the paper money into the bronze basin, Second Brother had no choice but to step forward and pry Mo Qing's hand off Mo Yunfeng's arm.
Mo Yunfeng was utterly baffled.
"Second Brother, what is Father doing?"
Not just Second Brother, even the other brothers who knew did not wish to answer.
It could be said to be the greatest humiliation in Father's life.
At the same time, Sixth elder brother looked at Mo Jiuye, eyes crimson red.
"Ninth Younger Brother, shall we try removing Father's gu now?"
He had participated in the entire process when Mo Jiuye helped Eldest Brother and Second Brother remove their gu previously. He believed that with Ninth Younger Brother's abilities, he would surely succeed in dispelling the gu worm in Father as well.
That way, Father no longer had to continue suffering such humiliation.
Mo Jiuye pondered for a moment before making up his mind.
"Alright, let me take a look first."
As he spoke, Mo Jiuye took out all seven Night Pearls that were bundled in his hem.
The cave was instantly awash in light as bright as day.
Using the same method, in order to ascertain the gu worm's location in Father's body, Mo Jiuye took out Master Si Meng's life gu.
Sixth elder brother stepped forward tacitly to strip off the measly strips of cloth covering Father's upper body, revealing his torso that was as withered as dead wood.
Mo Jiuye gently shook the porcelain bottle while observing Father's arms.
The result puzzled him greatly.
