"It's all about now, don't talk about these scenes. Song Yi raised the Zhaoyue Immortal Sword, looked at the light and shadow contained in its blade, and said: "This is not an ordinary thing, you must have some consideration for giving it to me, please make it clear." ”

The head looked at Song Yi and was silent, and Song Yi also looked at him, calmly meeting his scrutinizing gaze.

After a moment, the head of the head breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You're right, at this point, I don't want to hide anything, besides, some things themselves can't be said one by one, what I'll tell you next, after you have heard it, you should know it in your heart." ”

The two sat down, and Song Yi respectfully put the Zhaoyue Immortal Sword on the table and listened to what the head said.

The head of the house was not in a hurry to speak, thought for a while, and called out: "Tanuki." ”

The voice of the raccoon slave came from outside the door: "The disciple is here." ”

"Make a good pot of tea, I'm afraid I'm going to have a long talk with your senior brother all night, and I can't do it without tea. ”

"Yes. ”

Listening to the master's instructions, Song Yi's heart moved, it seems that the two of them have a lot of things to talk about next, and they have a lot to do with each other. His slightly restless heart began to calm down, and he sighed when he looked at the bright stars on the zenith, and then at the walls that had been filled with scrolls of paintings in the clean room, but were now empty.

In a moment, the tanuki slave had already prepared the things: a stove, a copper kettle, a tea set, and a few plates of delicate snacks, and after putting them away, he quietly glanced at Song Yi, nodded to the master, and was about to withdraw.

The head of the house stopped him: "You go to sleep first, I'll talk to your senior brother slowly, you don't have to wait here." ”

"Yes......"

The room was quiet again, the night was deeper, the lamps were dim, only the charcoal fire in the furnace emitted a jumping red light, and the subtle sound of boiling water broke the dullness.

When the tea leaves floated and sank, and the curling fragrance came out, the head slowly spoke: "With the artifact in hand, you can't break free from the fate of killing, and if you want to keep your hands from blood, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

"I never had that naïve idea. Song Yi picked up the cup, and the fragrance of tea lingered on the end of his nose, which made people feel calm: "Besides, I have already had blood on my hands, Jiulu Palace, one hundred and forty-nine people." ”

"Well......" the head nodded: "The idea is transparent, and it is good not to look ahead and backwards." I was worried that a young student like you might not be able to stand in the face of big things. In fact, I gave you this sword not out of complete good intentions, but also a little selfishness after weighing it......"

"I want to get it. ”

Putting down the cup, Song Yi stared at the tea leaves floating on the water, and said in a low voice: "There are people who are more qualified to hold this sword than me, there are not no people in the door, such as Senior Brother Qingning." According to the degree of importance you attach to him and his strength and position, if you are not the next head, you will also be the next to take office, but if he does not accept this sword, in addition to the reluctance to accept the shadow but the evil sword, I am afraid there are other reasons, and this reason is one of the reasons why you chose me. ”

“...... Let's hear it. ”

"To be the head of the house, not only must have enough strength and achievements, but also need to be highly respected to be able to convince the public. The Illuminated Moon Immortal Sword is not an ornament, but an artifact that has accompanied the ancestor to crisscross Shenzhou and kill enmity. Now that the big change is imminent, according to you and Senior Brother Qingning, the demon's breath is menacing, and it is unknown whether the Moon Spring Sect will be destroyed, and in this case, it is impossible not to open the killing ring. ”

"Hmm......" The head nodded, leaned forward slightly, seemed satisfied with his answer, and urged him to continue with his eyes.

Song Yi didn't care about anything, and continued: "Now it can be said that it is internal and external troubles, inside the door, the gang led by Elder Tianji is not sure how they will behave, outside, the demon breath is ready to move, at that time, who needs to kill this sword is not necessarily, if it ......"

After a pause, he said, "If you really have to get rid of some important people, then it will not be good for Senior Brother Qingning to start directly." The future head of the sect kills the elders of the sect before the succession, even if there is a big reason for this kind of thing, it is easy to cast a shadow in the hearts of some disciples and destroy the image of the future leader. Therefore, now we need a killer who has no scruples, holding the sword of Shang Fang, to do these dirty jobs for our Yuequan Sect. ”

The boss's eyes tightened slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared.

Song Yi said: "It is best that this person is not a direct disciple of the Yuequan Sect, so as not to create the illusion of which elder or which master you trust, but he must be someone you can trust and control, otherwise this matter will be difficult to complete." He holds the Zhaoyue Immortal Sword, which has not seen blood for more than 2,000 years, which is equivalent to holding the patriarch's edict and acting independently, and the opinions of everyone in the door, whether it is admiration, fear, jealousy, or unwillingness, will only focus on him, and will not be involved in the overall situation and factional disputes. In case of...... In the event of his unfortunate death, the impact on the subsequent follow-up of the Moon Spring Sect would be minimal. ”

Speaking of this, Song Yi looked at the head and said with a smile: "Count birds with one stone, your chess piece is really well chosen." ”

The head stared at Song Yi silently for a long time, and asked, "Do you think you are this chess piece, then, what do you think about it?"

Song Yi was stunned, this question was unexpected by him: "I thought you would ask me if I would like to be this chess piece." ”

"Don't want to?"

"I do. ”

Song Yi replied very firmly.

"Then what is the reward you are asking for?" The head of the man's eyes flickered, as if he had already seen through his thoughts, and asked: "Since you are willing to be this chess piece and carry all the dirty work and tiring work, I will not let you do the hard work in vain, if you have any requirements, you can put forward it." ”

"I want to ......"

After thinking for a while, Song Yi said, "I would like to ask you to allow me to leave the Yuequan Sect. ”

Leave?

Hearing this, the head showed a surprised look on his face for the first time, obviously, he didn't expect Song Yi's request to be this.

"Not now, it's after this crisis. Song Yi said solemnly: "When the attack of the Demon Breath is retreated and the Moon Spring Sect returns to peace, please allow me to leave the Moon Spring Sect and go out to travel." ”

"Yes. ”

The head nodded, and his voice was kind and tolerant: "Your request...... It's too small. According to the door rules, as long as you enter the upper hospital, you will have the opportunity to travel and increase your knowledge. If you can help the Yuequan Sect through this crisis, let alone a first-class disciple of the upper court, a higher position is also within reach, but you are ...... Don't you feel too much of a loss for the credit of helping the building at a time of collapse, but only making such a small request?"

"No loss. Song Yi smiled: "Everyone has their own ambitions, I don't care how many disciples I can be, I just want to go out for a long time, if you promise me, then what this chess piece should do, I promise to do my best." ”

After speaking, Song Yi let out a long breath, and finally said the thoughts that had been stuffed in his heart for a long time, his chest was full of joy and comfort, and no matter what the head of the family planned, he picked up the teacup and drank it all. Then relax and stretch, staring at the starry sky above you and letting your thoughts flow.

It's only been a short two months since I crossed here, but it's like half a lifetime, every day is so exciting, ups and downs, peaks and loops, from living in a small courtyard, cultivating to a low-level disciple, and becoming an important role in entering the hall and negotiating the conditions with the head of the house. The people I knew in it, the things I experienced, and even the blood and destruction I stepped on were completely unimaginable before.

I can't imagine it, and I don't need to imagine it, because I've already experienced it.

Now, Song Yi's vision is farther and his heart is more open-minded.

Just before the first month was over, he had the idea of making a living and going out for a walk, the new world was so big, he really didn't want to stay in the Moon Spring Sect. Go to a wider world, meet more people, experience more things, even if there are bigger storms and more hardships ahead, Song Yi is not afraid.

Shenzhou is vast and boundless, and in the world outside the Moon Spring Sect, there must be more and more goals worth working for.

Goo.

The sound of water falling from the sky pulled Song Yi's attention back, and he saw the head of the house stand up, take the boiling kettle from the wind stove, and fill the teacup he drank, with gentle movements and loving eyes, not at all like the head of the high-minded, more like the neighbor's parents, watching him grow up little by little, just like looking at his own children.

Faced with such a leader, Song Yi couldn't help but be stunned.

"You kid, what do you say you ......?"

Putting down the kettle, the head sighed, sat down, and his heavy eyes wandered on him: "You, so smart, so keen, so thoughtful and mature in thinking about things, but also so ...... How can I say it, you put me in charge, and your senior brother Qingning, think too badly. ”

"No, no, I didn't mean that. ”

Song Yi hurriedly sat up straight and explained: "I never felt that you two were bad people, on the contrary, I was very grateful, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have the opportunity like today, Senior Brother Qingning taught me art, you gave me the divine sword, I just ...... It is just an objective analysis of the situation. ”

He really didn't regard the head and Mo Qingning as bad people, the world is not black and white, it doesn't mean that people with calculations in their hearts are villains, as a person at the helm, if the head of the family does not weigh any interests when considering things, it is not normal.

On the contrary, the overall situation must be his first consideration, and it is also the most important consideration, as the head, his most important duty is how to save the Yuequan Sect in the next changes, if he can save at the same time, take into account all the order, human feelings, morality and face, it is a perfect situation.

But how can there be so much perfection in the world?

"You don't have to be nervous, and I don't mean anything bad. ”

The head laughed, waved his hand, so that he didn't have to explain more, and continued: "What you said before is right, I do have a little selfishness, and this selfishness lies in who to choose to pick up this sword and be this 'wicked person'. Qing Ning is the best candidate for the next head, if you don't show up, I have to consider him, no matter how bad it is...... Considering Yun Zheng, even if he or Yun Zheng is in a lot of blood debt, there is no way. But you showed up, so I had a better choice......"
