"The head said, the master has reached the realm of the true monarch, and I am at most in the realm of a monk, two levels behind, and it is reasonable to lose to him. Song Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "He doesn't have real skills, but with a casual blow, he is not the master himself here, and he will ...... in the future." I think one day, I will be able to see Master for real, and then I will ask Him for advice in person. ”

"Absolutely. ”

Looking at the sky, Song Yi put away the empty wooden box, although the magic circle has been broken, but this is the master's thing after all, and it will have to be returned when we meet next time, and by the way, ask the master about the master.

When he was in the formation, an idea popped up in Song Yi's mind, but the game was critical, the opponent was frequent, he was busy facing the battle, and he didn't have time to think about it.

Why did Master make such a magic circle, and why did he integrate the cultivation of the seven elders into the magic circle?

In addition to "training people", is there any other intention hidden?

As soon as I thought of this, I only heard the sound of the wind overhead, and when I looked up, I saw the eagle falcon that appeared near Mo Qingning from time to time flapping its wings and flying over, circled around, and landed on the courtyard wall, looking down at itself.

Why, this is to find out if you have passed the circle?

Song Yi smiled, and was about to recruit it, when he suddenly saw a figure on the wall, and Mo Qingning had already turned in.

"Senior brother?"

He actually came over, Song Yi was a little surprised.

Mo Qingning looked at him, stared at the wooden box in his hand again, and nodded: "Yes, it seems to have passed." ”

"How do you know I'm passing?"

Mo Qingning walked up, took the box from his hand, and said, "This magic circle can only be used once, once someone passes through, there will be a sense in the master's place." I was having a drink with the boss when he suddenly called me over, and I knew ...... The junior brother really did not disappoint us. ”

Only then did Song Yi notice that Mo Qingning was carrying a wine jar in his hand, and nodded: "I just came out of the battle, and I have some thoughts in my heart...... But they were all confused, just when you came, please ask my senior brother for advice. ”

Hearing what he said, Mo Qingning's expression changed slightly, he was noncommittal, thought for a while, nodded and said, "Go in and talk." ”

The two stepped into the room, but Mo Qingning was not in a hurry to talk about business, only asked him where the wine glass was, Song Yi took out two cups, Mo Qingning opened the wine jar, poured half a glass for each of them, sat down and said: "This wine was bought by chance when I went to the capital, it is extremely clear, very sweet, and very strong, do you dare to drink it?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Song Yi had just passed the test of the magic circle, and his skills had risen greatly, and it was the time when he was full of confidence, when he heard Mo Qingning ask, he immediately picked up the cup and wanted to drink it all in one gulp, but Mo Qingning grabbed his wrist, stopped him from drinking, and slowly shook his head and said, "Not now." ”

Song Yi was stunned and put down the cup: "Senior brother has something to say...... Not now, when?"

Mo Qingning let go of his hand and sat opposite Song Yi, staring at the clear and green wine in the glasses of the two of them. The room was silent, and no one disturbed the outside, except for the insects and birds in the spring, there was no human voice to hear.

After a while, Mo Qingning said: "The head said that good wine is used for celebration, just now in the ancestral court, I and the head of the family each drank a cup, at this moment in the junior brother, we only drink half a cup, and the rest, leave it until the day of victory and then get drunk." ”

Hearing this, Song Yi was slightly moved, and the hand on the table slowly tightened and clenched into a fist. He understood that this jar of wine already contained the meaning of the fist entrustment of the head of the family and Mo Qingning, and the ardent expectation.

The Day of Victory...... Let's say that the Demon Breath invasion is close at hand, and it seems that the situation will be very dangerous at that time.

Mo Qingning raised his glass and saluted Song Yiyi: "Please, junior brother." ”

"Senior brother, please. ”

Song Yi also raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking this half glass of wine, Mo Qingning said to him: "I saw your expression just now, it seems that you have a question to talk about?"

"Yes. ”

The wine entered his throat, Song Yi tasted it carefully, and it was really as Mo Qingning said, it was both clear and sweet, and it also had a burst of heat, which reminded him of the last scene in the formation, and his heart couldn't help but surge again, and his mind was full of Du Yilou's figure gradually drifting away.

"This circle was made by Master, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Why did Master make this thing and put it in the master's place?"

"This ......" Mo Qingning lowered his eyes, as if he was reluctant to answer this question directly, thought for a while, and asked Song Yi rhetorically: "Did you feel anything unusual from this magic circle?"

"There's nothing wrong with the circle itself, but I think the purpose of making this circle ......."

After pondering for a moment, Song Yi said cautiously: "Why do you want to integrate into the cultivation of the seven elders......? I mean, if I were to become an enemy of the Seven Elders today, wouldn't it be more possible to overcome them because of the help of this circle?"

Mo Qingning looked at Song Yi fixedly, did not speak, Song Yi stared at his eyes, and continued: "How do I think that Master's purpose in making this magic circle is not only to use the elders to spur the entrants and urge the entrants to improve and break through their cultivation, but also a bit ...... What did I mean?"

Mo Qingning was silent, with a hint of resistance in his expression, just when Song Yi thought that he would not answer him, he heard him sigh and said, "Sure enough, you are worthy of being Master Du's disciple, you master and apprentice are very similar." ”

What, you guessed it right?

Mo Qingning said: "This magic circle is mainly done to improve cultivation, but it does hide a little consideration you mentioned. For some reason, Master Du foresaw the early arrival of the Demon Breath Rebellion, and also foresaw that some of the elders might not be able to withstand the temptation, and it was likely that instead of helping, they would become an obstacle when the catastrophe came......"

"You mean Elder Tianji and his gang?"

"Not necessarily. Mo Qingning shook his head slowly: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and Master Du is not sure who will succumb to the devil's breath or other temptations in the end until he leaves, so he simply included all the elders." To tell the truth, this circle has been left until it can no longer be left, if you don't challenge it today, I will go tomorrow, in short, there must be someone reliable to break through it and rehearse the confrontation with the elders. ”

I see......

Song Yi pondered Mo Qingning's words, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, these words contained too much information.

After thinking about it, he said, "Actually, you don't have to be so ...... at all For example, wouldn't it be safer to let the little senior brother break through before he goes out?"

"No, you can't. Mo Qingning stared at Song Yi and said word by word: "Your master has specially instructed that this magic circle cannot let Yun Zheng go." ”

Hey?

Song Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Why? Why doesn't Master allow the little brother to challenge this magic circle? With his cultivation, it should be much easier than mine." ”

"I don't know. Mo Qingning lowered his eyes and looked at the empty wine glass in front of him: "The head didn't tell me the reason, perhaps, even the head himself didn't know the intention of Master Du's arrangement." ”

Song Yi was silent, pursed his lips, and suddenly had an uncomfortable thought in his heart.

He couldn't guess why Master did this, but he sensed a sense of rejection in the choice itself, as if it were ...... Guarding against something.

The master didn't teach the little senior brother the Angry Flame Sutra, and even this magic circle didn't let the little brother challenge it, could it be ...... Could it be that Master Fei has any scruples about the little brother, so that he has reservations when teaching the arts?

Thinking of this, Song Yi was faintly unhappy in his heart, the little senior brother he knew and understood was definitely not a person with evil intentions, and the master was a little ...... when he did this

"Senior brother, what do you want?"

Mo Qingning's words interrupted Song Yi's reverie, and he quickly came back to his senses: "It's nothing, I just don't understand one thing......"

"What?"

"I don't understand, why would the head of the sect rather regard the elders of the Moon Spring Sect as potential traitors, but trust the master as an outsider so much, and why should the master trust the head of the sect? in case...... What if the head of the sect is lured by the devil's breath to fall?"

This was said quite arrogantly, and even very rude, but since Song Yi dared to say it, he was mentally prepared to make Mo Qingning angry and turn his face on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Mo Qingning was not angry, he just shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "The head of the sect had a chance in the past, and he was trusted by Master Du, and this matter involved an immortal, and it involved many entanglements beyond ordinary people's imagination, I am inconvenient, and I dare not say anything, you go back and ask the head yourself." ”

Song Yi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously remembered what happened to him when he went down the mountain.

"In short, Master Du has long known about the chaos of the Demon Breath, and he has left a back hand in the Yuequan Sect, in order to protect the thing that the Yuequan Sect has been guarding. ”

"It seems that the head and master have really prepared for the worst...... The Moon Spring Sect guards that thing, so it is likely that it will bear the brunt of this demonic breath chaos, and when the time comes, if some elders are very selfish and distracting, they will not only not be able to provide assistance, but will become enemies...... The master also built this magic circle in consideration of internal and external troubles, and if they really hit together, they would not be too caught off guard. ”

"Roughly understand, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Mo Qingning looked out the window, the sky began to darken, the gloomy clouds obscured the sunset, and there might be a rain tonight.

"I'm worried about something else, your friend's...... Luo Zhen himself was only slightly injured, but his master is in a very bad condition, and it is estimated that you will have to meet soon, the matter of Jiulu Palace...... Think about how to explain it to him. ”

Hearing this, Song Yi "chuckled" in his heart, he knew that this matter could not be avoided, and Luo Zhen had to face it. But thinking of Luo Zhen's entrustment before leaving, thinking of what happened on this trip to Jiulu Palace, and especially thinking of Miss Xiaofei's eyes before she died......

Subconsciously, Song Yi stroked the hilt of the sword on his waist, and there was a slight hesitation on his face.

Mo Qingning saw it clearly, and said: "Don't look ahead and backward, indecisive, there will be more things bigger than this in the future, you can't even get over this, it's better to ...... it as soon as possible."

"Senior brother doesn't have to use the method of agitation, let alone do anything for me, I can handle this matter properly. ”

"That couldn't be better...... I'll go first, you remember to meet the boss again, time is pressing. ”

"Yes, senior brother, go slowly. ”
