The Two-Faced Venerate Emperor Chapter 1222 – Memory Maze

Chapter 1222 – Memory Maze

The ghostly figure was actually Min Xie Ran who was circling around Ji Mo Ya. When he saw Huan Qing Yan and the rest arriving, he quickly said, “Young Master Ya seems to have been caught in a curse! He was looking at the surroundings after reading the Crazy Sage’s writing, that’s when he suddenly froze and became like this.”
Tuoba Yan has more experience than the rest, “Don’t touch him. He was likely caught in some sort of Memory Maze!”
Memory Maze?
Huan Qing Yan looked at Ji Mo Ya worryingly. Ji Mo Ya was displaying a pained expression and it was one with traces of fear mixed within as well. These types of emotions rarely appeared on him.
Who is Young Master Ya? A celestial-like Young Master that everyone looked up to. He has always been warm and graceful, the type that can cause one to be fascinated to the point of no return!
How can he be in pain, fear, and flustered?
“I have heard of Memory Maze before. Some painful memories in the past are sealed and will not surface if not touched. However, once tempered, the excruciating memory will immediately surface?” Bai Li Jia Bao asked.
Tuoba Yan replied, “Yes, no one can disturb the person that is trapped in the Memory Maze. He must wake up by himself, or he will be immersed in that painful memory forever.”
Only Shang Qiu Meng Qian heartlessly clapped in joy, “So Ji Mo Ya also has a time where he experienced great pain. That’s great! I am dying to disturb him so that he will die within those painful memories. Qing Qing will be mine by then.”
Huan Qing Yan glared at him viciously, “Shut up! Don’t you dare!”
Shang Qiu Meng Qian quickly shut his mouth after being scolded, “I don’t dare. I will never do that without Qing Qing agreeing.”
Nan Gong Bei Chen said, “Where are Crazy Sage’s writings? Let us take a look.”
Min Xie Ran pointed at a large rock, “Over there. There are also signs of fighting…”
Nan Gong Bei Chen, Bai Li Jia Bao and the rest headed over to check in detail.
Huan Qing Yan did not follow them, she was also not familiar with the handwriting of Crazy Sage.
She wanted to stand guard beside Ji Mo Ya.
When Huan Qing Yan saw his pained expression, she wanted to share some of his burdens but found no method to do so.
At that moment, she suddenly recalled the Heart Union Knot and tried to use the connection to sense his feelings.
There were some effects, she seemed to have detected a mix of negative emotions.
Huan Qing Yan decisively closed her eyes, focusing on the connection…
She saw a cold, damp place of complete darkness. Only a small hole could be seen high up at the top of this place. Some faint rays of light could be seen coming through the hole.
A child around the age of four was seen looking at the incoming rays of light with listless eyes.
His body was tiny and countless snakes could be seen slithering about his feet. One of them, a purplish red snake, was greedily sucking on the faint traces of fresh blood leaking from one of the legs…
The child seemed numbed, as though this was something that had happened thousands of times. He neither resisted nor cried, he was merely remaining there; blankly looking at that bit of light coming from outside.
Huan Qing Yan’s heart tightened. What despair could lead to such a terrible scenario, of eerie silence?
She wanted to see the face of the child but was unable to see any.
All she could see was his eyes.
Along with the blood loss, the child’s gaze held even more helplessness, pain, despair, terror and loss.
It was the exact same eyes that Ji Mo Ya has.
No matter how slow Huan Qing Yan can be, she immediately knew that this child was Ji Mo Ya when he was young!
Wasn’t he the Young Master of the Ji Mo Clan?
For a person of such status and background, shouldn’t he be tenderly nurtured and taken care of while growing up?
How come there was such a terrifying memory like this? He was once trapped within a cave full of bloodsucking poisonous snakes?
