Chapter Eighty-Six: The Calculation of Demon's Breath
"Yes. Song Yi gritted his teeth, his voice trembling a little: "When she died...... My sword was on her, she asked me to keep it for her, exchange this one with me, she told me to bring this back and bring it to Luo Zhen......"
"Hmm...... Feel it. Nine Dragons Moon Devouring Array, there is still a little residual remnant of the magic circle on it. The head glanced at him, and his voice became softer: "Relax, Song Yi, it's over." Tell me about it from the beginning, about the Nine Egret Palace, as well as the Gao family before, tell me what you saw and experienced on this trip...... Of course, I don't force you to talk about it now, if you feel that you are not ready and you can't get over it, you can tell me next time. ”
"I ...... It's okay, I'll tell you right now, that's how it was that day......"
Staring at the tea on the table, Song Yi went down the mountain to the Gao family, where he spent a few days in the Gao family, and then went to the Jiulu Palace, until he returned to the Yuequan Sect, and met Mo Qingning at the gate of the mountain.
Subconsciously, he hid the part about the mysterious old woman and the next part where she was scanned by the fairy eye.
When he finished saying the last word, the water in the cup was already cold, Song Yi sighed, raised his glass and drank it all, then stared at the master, and asked: "I have something I want to ask you, the situation in the Nine Egret Palace, did you and Senior Brother Mo Qingning know about it early on?"
"I don't know. The head looked at him and said, "I only speculated that they might be in some trouble, but I never expected the situation to be so bad." ”
Yes.
Song Yi was a little hesitant, and wanted to continue asking, but the head of the sect had already taken the initiative to say: "With my previous understanding of the Nine Egret Palace, even if they encounter the invasion of the Demon Breath, they will not be completely devoured, and the palace master's cultivation should be enough to resist, but it can't be stopped, and they should also send someone to find the Yuequan Sect, or find the Huzhou City Lord for help." However, according to what you said, it was Xiaofei who launched a sneak attack on her father...... A wise man thinks a thousand times, and there will be a mistake, and the palace master is no matter how high he is, he will always take off his guard against the only beloved daughter, so he ......"
Speaking of this, the head sighed repeatedly, and his face darkened a little.
“...... Do you know about her and Luo Zhen?" Song Yi asked again.
"I know, Luo Zhen's master told me, and I myself quietly observed. The head nodded: "Children have their own fate, I am happy to see it happen, and I even thought that when they are really decided, they will raise Luo Zhen's rank to the upper courtyard, and when they get married in the future, our Yuequan Sect will also have face." Luo Zhen is a good kid, but the Yuequan Sect is relatively large and has many talents, so he doesn't seem to be so outstanding. In another year and a half, there will be no problem with his cultivation entering the upper house. ”
“...... I see. ”
Hearing this, Song Yi let out a long breath, this is a knot in his heart, which has been stuffed in his chest since the accident in Jiulu Palace, and he can't go up or down. At this point, listening to what the head said himself, it was finally solved.
He didn't dare to think about it all the time, if the head of the sect and Mo Qingning knew the actual situation of the Nine Egret Palace, but they didn't intervene, only Mo Qingning used a phantom and reminded himself not to go in an ominous way, so as to stay out of the matter, just like the Gao family stood by and watched when the Wang family was in trouble.
The Gao family is an ordinary businessman with limited ability, and there is nothing they can do in the face of the rampant demon's breath, so they can only try to stay away from the Wang family to protect the upper and lower levels. For their choice, Song Yi can understand.
However, as a representative cultivation sect within a radius of hundreds of miles, the Yuequan Sect obviously has the ability to destroy the demon's breath, but it is also so wise to protect itself, and sit back and watch the fall of the Nine Egret Palace...... Shu Song Yi did not dare to agree, and would have doubts about what the Yuequan Sect had done, and even despise it.
Thankfully, that's not the case.
"It's my misjudgment, it's a sin, I'm sorry for my old friend's family, and I can't live with so many people in their palace......"
Handing the sword back to Song Yi, the head of the house said with a deep meaning: "I want to thank you for giving Jiulu Palace a clean ending and not making them more unbearable......"
Song Yi didn't answer, and he really didn't want to accept this thanks. He believed that the head of the house was no better than himself, and the Nine Egret Palace was a strange place to him, and he was afraid that it was more than that......
Neither of them spoke again, and the clean room fell into a low and solemn atmosphere, and it took a long time for the head to break the silence again.
“...... Okay, that's it, let's get down to business. ”
Lifting the pot, the head of the sect filled Song Yi and his own cups with hot water, and asked, "You just said that those disciples of the Nine Egret Palace who were corrupted by demonic breath mentioned our Yuequan Sect?"
Song Yi perked up and hurriedly said, "Yes." ”
This is not surprising, in fact...... The reason why I didn't go to Jiulu Palace was because I was on guard against this hand and turned the tiger away from the mountain. ”
Turning the tiger away from the mountain?
Song Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood: "What do you mean...... The real target of the Demon Breath is actually the Moon Spring Sect?"
"Not bad. The head of the sect said: "Now that I have no need to hide it from you, let me tell you, the Demon Breath is about to invade the Moon Spring Sect in a big way." ”
“...... What's going on with the Nine Egret Palace?"
"It should be the vanguard. The head sighed: "The Shenzhou continent is vast, thousands of miles long, and dozens of countries are surrounded by large and small countries, although they dare not say that they are all dormant and obedient, at least on the surface, they all respect the Yuesheng Dynasty and look up to me." Just inside and outside this boundless territory, there are many cultivation sects, and there are many capable people, once the demonic breath surges, someone can detect it. For some places that are too far away, I don't know the situation, but as far as the boundary of Huzhou City, where the Yuequan Sect is located, within a radius of hundreds of miles, it also points to the gathering place of the Yuequan Sect for cultivators. ”
Song Yi listened while thinking in his heart, and then took over and said: "So, once the Demon Breath attacks, it must break through the bridgehead of the Yuequan Sect before he can take Huzhou City?"
"A must. The head nodded and said: "Compared with other major sects, the Yuequan Sect has its own shortcomings, but within the scope of Huzhou City, it also points to our family, without destroying the Yuequan Sect, the Demon Breath will not be able to successfully occupy this place, and the more you understand the Demon Breath, the less you will treat them as a turbulent stream that comes and goes without a trace, or a demon without a sense." All indications indicate that the Moon Spring Sect is the first important target that the Demon Breath wants to overcome, so they first use a part of their strength to occupy the Nine Egret Palace, hibernate in it, and then wait until the real time comes, cooperate with the main force to jointly attack the Moon Spring Sect. ”
"Is that so?!" Song Yi was taken aback, thought for a while, and nodded: "No wonder that Miss Xiaofei mentioned to me before she died, she dealt with everyone in the Nine Egret Palace under the control of Demon Breath...... The servants and maids, including her mother, could not be a help in the attack on the Yuequan Sect because they did not cultivate, so they killed them so as not to be a drag. ”
"Well......" the head of the house also bowed his head and said: "And the palace master himself, because of his advanced cultivation and being able to resist the erosion of the demon's breath, did not fully obey the order, so he also ...... It is really cruel and evil, and will do whatever it takes to achieve the end. ”
"Why is this happening? As a decent cultivator, the Moon Spring Sect is full of spiritual energy, and there are many capable people, and there has been no trace of demonic breath for many years, and just a few days ago, there was a wisp of ...... on the peak."
“...... You should know that the Demon's Breath has become chaotic. ”
Demon's Breath is in turmoil?!
Song Yi's heart sank, could it really be ......
He knew very little about the chaos of the Demon Breath, and only heard the original "Song Yi" mention that every once in a while, the traces of the Demon Breath would increase rapidly in the world, and the chaos would occur frequently, and this cycle was generally about a thousand years.
The head stared at Song Yi's face and said word by word: "Every few hundred or thousands of years, there will be a demonic breath chaos in the world, ravaging Shenzhou, causing misery and misery for the people, and sometimes even leading to a change of dynasty and the renewal of the sun and the moon, this is the chaos of demonic breath." ”
Song Yi frowned: "You say that, do you mean that the Demon Breath Chaos is coming again?"
"It should be. The time is coming...... I'm afraid a new round of demonic breath chaos is about to begin. ”
The head raised his head and looked at the vast and far-reaching night sky overhead, the stars were shining, the moon shadow was hazy, as if there were countless eyes hidden there, looking down on the two from the starlight, listening to their conversation.
"It's been almost six hundred and fifty years since the last time the demonic breath became chaotic, so fast...... This time it came too quickly. We thought ...... Five years ago, when the leaders of the various sects met in the imperial capital, none of them mentioned the hidden concerns about the demon's breath, perhaps we all imagined the situation too optimistic, and relied too much on the experience of our predecessors, thinking that it was too early for them to come. ”
Song Yi listened quietly with bated breath, and the questions that popped up one after another in his heart endured it, and he didn't make a sound.
The head of the sect let out a sigh: "Every time the demonic breath chaos occurs, it is a common calamity for all the people in the world, whether it is a cultivator or an ordinary person, they will be involved in this torrent that covers the sky and the sun, this time...... I'm afraid that my Yuequan Sect will bear the brunt of it. Song Yi, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid. ”
After going through the Gao family and the Nine Egret Palace, he has already recognized the cruelty and bloodthirstiness of the Demon Breath, and he hates it very much, asking him to fight against such a thing, Song Yi is not only not afraid, but also looks forward to it.
"What if we are defeated, and become slaves of the Demon Cave like the Nine Egret Palace, and then do all the evil things that will lose our conscience under its control?"
Song Yi was stunned, did not answer, and even refused to think about such a possibility. At this moment, a flash suddenly appeared in front of him, his upper body fell on the table, and his elbow knocked over the teacup.
The cup then rolled to the ground with a crunch and cracked into several pieces.
Song Yi was shocked and hurriedly propped himself up, what's going on......
The head of the door held him up and sighed: "That's it, you are too tired to come here today, you are seriously overdrawn physically and mentally, although you are still mentally supporting, your body can't stand it." ”
"No, I don't care, I ......"
Before the words fell, the head shook his head: "Don't be reckless, you look like you are seeping now, you are young, and it is the first time you have gone down the mountain, and you have experienced the Gao family and the Jiulu Palace." Tonight is indeed not a good time to talk, there is a bedroom in the back, I have asked the tanuki slave to prepare hot water, you go take a bath, sleep well, and it is not too late to talk about this matter in two days. ”
