"Here, come and sit. ”

The head beckoned to the visitor: "You can be in a hurry, the water has just been boiled, and this year's new tea will take a few days to come out, and we will use last year's same." ”

"What's so good about old tea? It's rare for you to be happy, so it's better to drink. ”

Mo Qingning raised the wine jug and glass in his hand, shook it towards the master, and sat down opposite him.

"Ouch, did you bring wine? to tell you this, I found that I really haven't tasted wine for a long time, and I have nothing to do today. ”

With that, with a slight flick of the sleeves of the master's shirt, the fire beside him was extinguished, and the rattling kettle gradually quieted down.

Mo Qingning smiled slightly and filled it for the two of them.

Holding the wine glass, the head didn't raise it to his lips for a long time, thought about it, and looked out the window.

In the afternoon, the sky was not yet dark, and it was showing the last silhouette of the day, and on the horizon, beams of light passed through the clouds, scattering straight lines of light.

The Yuequan Ancestral Garden is half-floating in the air, the line of sight is raised, and when you raise your eyes, you can see the mountains and fields stretching under the sky dome, the dense woods in the mountains, and the stacked and scattered buildings. Closer, a few tall and vigorous pine trees were born at the intersection of the road leading to the ancestral garden, like silent giants, listening to the spring breeze, standing still.

The head of the door looked at it for a moment and turned his gaze into the distance, Mo Qingning followed his gaze, and that direction was ......

"Are you worried about Senior Brother Song Yi?"

“...... It's not a worry, it's just a little worried. The head took a sip of wine, closed his eyes, felt the crisp and strong aroma of the wine, and praised: "Your wine is good, where did it come from?"

"I bought it when I went to the capital. Mo Qingning smiled, and stroked the Chengying Evil Sword that was placed aside, "I had two major gains that year, one was it, and the other was this jar of wine." ”

"Then I can't drink badly, at least not yet. The head put down the glass, stared at the wine jar and said: "Such a good wine, it should be used as a celebration wine, so as to live up to this taste." Let's just mean it today, keep all the more, and when the war is over, call all our heroes and raise a glass together!"

"Okay, it's still thoughtful. ”

After that, Mo Qingning also raised his glass and took a shallow sip.

The head frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on Fang Cai's position again, Mo Qingning knew that he still couldn't let go of Song Yi in his heart.

"Wouldn't it be too much for me to grow like this...... It's too early to ask him to pass through that circle now. ”

"It can't be helped, there's really no time. ”

"Hmm. The head nodded, then shook his head again, and sighed: "That's it, whether you can pass it depends on his creation, even if he really can't pass it, I must use him." Tianji is incorrigible, and the few who have taken refuge in the past are also ...... Alas, the fickleness of the human heart is unpredictable, and it is difficult to describe it in a word. An old man like me, who has had enough of life, should have been in a state of flux a long time ago, but seeing what they have done, he will still be disgusted like a young man who loves and hates clearly, but when he turns his head and sees you, he feels that everything is not so bad. ”

Mo Qingning lowered his head and did not speak.

Seeing him like this, the head smiled: "Don't worry, I believe in Engong's choice, and you also have to believe in your own vision." Speaking of which, I'm more concerned about the next Demonic Breath Chaos itself. Qing Ning, do you know when the last round of demonic breath chaos happened?"

"According to the annals, it was about 650 years ago. ”

"Yes, ...... more than 600 years ago"

The head played with the wine glass, squinted his eyes slightly, and seemed to fall into a long memory: "It is the process of the collapse of the Riheng Dynasty and the establishment of the Yuesheng Dynasty." It lasted for forty or fifty years, stretched over several continents, and swept almost all countries...... The demon's breath is raging, the dark shadows are in the sky, many cultivators have sunk, and many ordinary people have lost their minds and fallen into madness, so the lives are devastated, disasters are everywhere, the great city is burned to scorched earth, and the continuous farmland is barren. At the same time, the weather changes, the rain and snow are not adjusted, and the cultivation is difficult to harvest, and the result is that there are no people for thousands of miles, and only the white bones are left in a village and a city. ”

Mo Qingning looked at the head of the house and said softly: "I read that it was written in the book that this demonic breath chaos lasted until a few years after the establishment of the Yuesheng Dynasty before disappearing, and the situation in the world finally stabilized slowly. ”

"You are young, you have not seen the situation back then, and what you see in the book is always just a general talk. And there are many things that don't make it into books for a variety of reasons. ”

The head raised his head and sighed: "The chaos of demonic breath is never a matter of one time and one place, but spreads throughout the world like wildfire. A vast continent like Shenzhou is still good and can stabilize again, but some weak places are ...... Have you ever heard of Kuwanoshima in the East China Sea? There was originally a country there that had a lot of dealings with the Riheng Dynasty, and they had not been able to slow down since the last Demon Breath Rebellion, and they are still barren. ”

"It's no wonder that I heard Yun Zheng say that the trade route to Kuwanoshima has long been cut off and will not be restored. Mo Qingning said: "Is it because the devil's breath can't cross the sea?"

"Not really. The head shook his head: "The magic breath on the island of Mulberry has long since retreated, however, when the magic breath was raging on the island in the past, the islanders used inappropriate methods to destroy it, but who knew that it caused a new accident, causing the magic breath to merge with people first, and then with spells, completely out of control and bursting, polluting the entire island of mulberry." ”

"All of them?"

"Yes, all. At that time, some islanders desperately fled to the sea, wrote the matter on silk cloth, sealed it with a bamboo tube and threw it into the sea, hoping to find it and come to the rescue. The bamboo tube tossed and turned in the waves, and after drifting for a long time, it finally reached the shore of the other continent. Someone picked it up, and it said that there was an epidemic on Kuwanoshima first, and then there were some things that were not human or demonic, and then ......."

Speaking of this, the head shook his head: "I'm afraid no one will know what will happen later." At that time, the Demon Breath had not long retreated, and there were all kinds of ruins waiting to be rebuilt, and the island of Mulberry was lonely overseas, with poor resources and a limited population, so no one had to leave the business behind to find out. Of course, during these hundreds of years, there were some people who visited the present-day Kuwanoshima out of curiosity, but none of them returned. The rulers of all countries knew in their hearts that the island of Mulberry should have long ceased to exist - the earth was there, the people were dead, and even the lair of something had changed. ”

Hearing this, Mo Qingning sighed, shook his head, and said, "The Demon Breath Chaos is indeed the number one calamity in the world, and it is really terrifying. But...... Why is it that this time it's been so short and you're going to start again?"

"Is it short?"

"Of course it's short, according to the analysis of past records, it usually takes a thousand years for the demonic breath to become chaotic, and the shortest is also eight hundred and sixty years, and now it's only a little more than six hundred years, how can it be ......?"

The head closed his eyes and said lightly: "You think it's short because it came in our lifetime, but for many people, more than six hundred years is a long time, and it looks like it will never come again." Every time the Demonic Breath Chaos passes, the survivors, especially their descendants, will have an illusion of happiness: the last chaos is the last, we will not encounter it, and our descendants will not encounter it again. So I was at ease and got by with a fluke mentality. Last time I went to the capital, I met with the heads of several major sects, but no one mentioned the crisis of the demon's breath, and they, like you, took the past record as the truth, and decided that it would take a thousand years to reincarnate, anyway, I couldn't meet it, it was early. ”

“...... The master's lesson is that the disciple is negligent, and this kind of lazy thinking is unacceptable. ”

"You've been very diligent, Qingning. The head waved his hand: "I can realize this, it's not that I have anything special, but it's just a coincidence." In my life, this life, has long been tied to this bit of heaven, but I also have a good thought, no regrets, but I have worked hard for you, and there are young people like Song Yi and Yunzheng......"

"The head of the sect said such an outward remark, but it will make the disciple's heart cold. Mo Qingning smiled slightly.

"Good, good, don't say, don't say. The head also smiled and said: "In short, I just sighed so much, I hope you can understand that the chaos of the devil's breath is the most important matter related to the life and death of the world, and there is no room for ambiguity or luck." When it really comes, it will be like a flood of waves, irreversible, our small side of the Moon Spring Sect, but a stubborn reef in the water, fighting with the waves, but also fighting with the turbulence, debris, fish and ice that the waves carry by the waves, then do a good job of the consciousness of breaking bones. ”

Mo Qingning nodded, with a smile still on the corner of his mouth.

"Song Yi's over there...... I guess it's still a hard fight. The head retracted the topic: "I still have to discuss one thing with you, after thinking about it repeatedly in the past few days, I want to give him that thing, what do you think?"

"That thing?" Mo Qingning was stunned, and immediately understood what the head of the family meant, and nodded: "It's good for junior brother." ”

"Okay?"

"What's wrong?" Mo Qingning asked rhetorically: "That is what should be taken by the master, why do you need to ask the disciple's opinion." ”

"What is mine now will be yours later. Seeing that it was about to fall into your hands, I intercepted it halfway and gave it to Song Yi, don't you have any ideas?"

"My idea is, it's good for my junior brother, give it to him. ”

Mo Qingning smiled, stroked the hilt of the Chengying but Evil Sword, and said slowly: "I am very satisfied with the Chengying but the Evil, I have cooperated closely with it over the years, and the tacit understanding is unparalleled, and I feel more and more that I can take advantage of my hands and feel that it has already become my indispensable combat power. You see, this is called the wife of the chaff not going to court, even if the other party is a peerless beauty?"

"Hey, you kid ......" the boss pointed at him and smiled: "You...... I mainly thought that he went to Jiulu Palace this time, the sword was gone, and the one he brought back could not be used, so he had to return it to Luo Zhen for Xiaofei. In the next situation, Song Yi was empty-handed, and he couldn't do it without a blade. ”

"You're right, and in fact I think so, and even if you don't mention it today, I'll give you advice later. The only thing to worry about is the ...... of that thing I'm afraid that the accident will happen again. ”

"Is that really an accident?" the boss asked coldly.
