Mo Qingning took a sip of the fragrant tea and gave Song Yi a piece of dim sum. It's nightfall, and the tea he prepares is very fresh, and instead of tasting the bitterness that makes it difficult to fall asleep, it is full of rich, slightly sweet fruity aromas, which makes people feel relaxed and relaxed.

"I want to ask you what you think of the Demon Breath on this trip down the mountain? Listening to what you said, not only the Nine Egret Palace has changed greatly, but even the Gao family has also seen traces of the Demon Breath. ”

"Yes. Song Yi took a sip of tea and said: "In my opinion, the Gao family's magic breath should have nothing to do with the magic breath of the Nine Egret Palace, but this point is even more alarming, because it proves that the ravages of the magic breath are all-round: the Wang family is thousands of miles away, and the prince also died a few years ago, and the magic breath has been quietly appearing on their side for a few years......"

"Hmm. Mo Qingning nodded, agreeing with his point of view, and added: "The Wang family's scimitar man full of demonic breath mentioned that his division is in the southwest?"

"Yes, he did. ”

"Hmm......"

Mo Qingning put down the cup, as if he thought of something, his brows furrowed a little, Song Yi asked what was wrong, but Mo Qingning shook his head, saying that there is no basis for this matter for the time being, let's not mention it first, let's still discuss the matter of Jiulu Palace, after all, this is for the Yuequan Sect, and it is estimated that it will arrive soon.

"Hmm. Song Yi continued, "You asked me what I thought of the Devil's Breath...... Through the Gao family and the Nine Egret Palace, I think that there seem to be several kinds of people who have been corrupted by demonic breath, and some are a little more low-level - I don't know if it is appropriate to use 'high-level' or 'low-level' to describe it, you can listen first, this is an analogy. ”

"You say it boldly. ”

"When the little brother went down the mountain, he once encountered a village that was corrupted by demonic breath, and according to him, almost all the people in the village had lost their minds, and only knew how to kill and devour flesh and blood, like a bunch of crazy zombies. Only one person was briefly reinstated, however, only to deceive others. The purpose of the Demon's Breath to corrupt the village seems to be nothing more than cannibalism. I think that this kind of is just a low-level representative, following instinct, a kind of bloodthirsty and brutal venting. ”

"Hmm. Mo Qingning nodded.

"However, the magic breath of the Wang family and the Nine Egret Palace is different. Song Yi frowned and carefully considered the wording: "If you say that there is still a part of the demonic breath that erodes the Wang family, there are still low-level things, such as Wang Gongzi's ...... a few years ago So now, when the Wang family went to the Gao family this time, they obviously had a purpose and pursuit, they took a fancy to the Gao family's heirloom and intended to take it away, and at the same time, they retreated decisively when they found that they could not take it away, unlike the usual magic breath, more like a far-sighted conspirator. ”

"Do you think they haven't really given up on coveting that item from the Gao family?"

"Definitely not, sooner or later, it will be shot, which is why Uncle Gao wants to give it up publicly. Song Yi continued: "Then there is the magic breath that occupies the Nine Egret Palace, and their purpose is clearer, not only do they know what they want, but they can also endure and hibernate for the sake of their goals." What's more...... I have observed that although the people of the Nine Egret Palace have been corrupted by demonic breath, they all retain their own personality traits to a greater or lesser extent, such as speaking and acting, at most you feel rude, but you will not suspect that they are no longer human. ”

“...... What do you think about that?"

"My opinion is ......"

Song Yi paused, sorted out his thoughts for the last time, and said loudly: "I think that in addition to the absolute control of the spirit, there is also a subtle effect of the demon's breath on the people of the Nine Egret Palace, that is, the negative bits and pieces in everyone's nature are magnified and raised to the surface. For example, they generally show indifference, rudeness, greed, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and so on, these things can actually be possessed by everyone, but they are suppressed and restrained through practice or education. ”

"What do you mean......" Mo Qingning sat up straight and said, "The demonic breath erodes and liberates the negativity of human nature and magnifies it?"

"Yes. In a sense, before the final outbreak of the Devil's Breath and the complete loss of their humanity, its effect on people is to make them appear as a 'bad self', including the hidden ugly desires that come to the surface. ”

After saying this, Song Yi carefully observed Mo Qingning's expression. In the western sky, most of the moon was rising, and the silver light was shining all over, reflecting the quiet courtyard, Song Yi saw Mo Qingning's face was solemn, his brows were furrowed, and he bit his lip, as if he was in a great problem.

“...... Senior brother, what do you want?"

Song Yi was a little nervous and couldn't help but ask softly.

"Nothing, nothing. Mo Qingning let out a long breath, shook his head, and said, "Demon breath is really not just an undercurrent, they are much smarter than the world thinks. ”

"Yes......"

"Well, in fact, listening to your words, I did add some hidden worries, but it is too early to say at this time, and it is inconvenient to say it in my capacity, anyway, it will not be long before you will have the opportunity to meet the master, and it is better for the head to talk to you in person. I'm sure you also have some questions that you can't ask me, but should ask the head in person, such as ......"

Mo Qingning looked outside the courtyard, his heavy gaze swept over the suspended stairs below, Song Yi followed his gaze, and found that it was the place where he saw Xue Yu leave just now.

Is it a matter of the Wind Ceremony Garden?

Song Yi's heart moved, Mo Qingning really expected it, about Fengyiting, he did have a stomach full of complaints and wanted to discuss it with the good students in charge.

The topic of Demon Breath was temporarily suspended here, and the two chatted for a few words, Song Yi got up, took the teapot from the stove, filled Mo Qingning with tea, and asked, "Speaking of which, there is still a doubt about going down the mountain this time, and I want to ask my senior brother for advice." ”

"What?"

"About the immortals. ”

Song Yi sat down, stared at Mo Qingning, and asked seriously: "I want to ask Senior Brother, is it possible...... There's an immortal hiding near our Yuequan Sect?"

"Immortals?" Mo Qingning obviously didn't expect what he was going to ask about, his face was stunned, and he shook his head and denied: "Impossible." ”

"Impossible?" Song Yi was a little unconvinced, and even more unconvinced, the answer was as simple as that, and asked: "If this immortal doesn't want to be discovered, he deliberately hides her...... What about her 'immortal energy'? Then we can't notice her existence?"

Song Yi was not sure if the immortals in this world had something like "immortal energy" that made them different from ordinary people, but at this time he didn't have a better description to describe it, let's just say so, I believe Mo Qingning can understand.

"Your statement is a bit weird...... Mo Qingning seemed to be stopped by him, and he put his hand on his chin and thought for a while before shaking his head and said, "Theoretically, there can't be such a thing." ”

"How?"

Song Yi leaned forward, for fear of missing every word in Mo Qingning's mouth. He found that he was even more interested in this matter than in the Demon Breath, after all, the Demon Breath was explicit, and it was already clear that he wanted to make trouble, and this immortal ...... It's completely cloudy, it's mysterious, and it's hard to say whether she really exists.

"Immortals are two completely different characters from us, immortals do not suffer from hunger, disease, aging, and death, and they are high in the immortal realm, and their cultivation is several times, or even hundreds of times, higher than that of any mortal. I heard that all kinds of abundance and prosperity in the immortal world are all unprecedented, even unimaginable wonders in the world, from the immortal world to the human world, it is like coming from the prosperous capital to the barren wilderness, although there may be two points of wild interest, but after all, it will not be the choice of long-term residence......"

Speaking of this, Mo Qingning looked at Song Yi and said, "If the immortals want to appear within the boundaries of Huzhou City, they will definitely be informed by the Immortal Realm of Huzhou City in advance, and they will receive them in a big way, and they will not dare to slack off in the slightest." Just as there are common rules in our human realm, every immortal must also follow the laws of the immortal realm, among them, it is not allowed to cross the boundary without permission. ”

"And this rule?"

"Of course, there are no rules, there are no rules, there are rules in the world, and there are immortals and immortals. You say, why would an immortal dare to violate the rules of the immortal realm and appear near the Yuequan Sect for no reason? Theoretically, either he was just passing by, or he came down with a certain task in the immortal realm, and after he was done, he had to go back, and there was no need to alarm Huzhou City and us mortal cultivators. ”

"That's ...... Are there no exceptions?"

"Theoretically, no. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Qingning's eyes moved, and he asked rhetorically, "Why do you want to ask this?"

"Because ......"

Song Yi thought about it, there was nothing to hide, so he simply told him what he had been staring at by the immortals after coming down the mountain.

Who knows, Mo Qingning's face changed when he heard this, he slapped his palm on the table, stood up with a "rub", stared at Song Yi firmly, and asked sharply: "Fairy Eyes?!"

Song Yi startled him, he had never seen Mo Qingning look so stern, he was surprised, but he was also secretly sure in his heart, it was not good...... I'm really a ghost, and I've encountered some forbidden things.

“...... I'm not sure if it's a fairy eye, but it feels like it is. ”

Mo Qingning frowned, thought about it, his face softened, and he shook his head and said, "I know, don't talk about this matter with outsiders." ”

"What, there are really hidden immortals?"

"No, theoretically, not. ”

"This ...... Wait, you've said 'theoretically' several times!" Song Yi had a flash of inspiration in his mind and interrupted him: "The so-called theory is used to break through, there must be exceptions, right?"

"Well...... Mo Qingning looked at him and his eyes changed, and whispered: "You asked about something that shouldn't be asked, I can't say this." ”

"You ......"

Song Yi also stood up all of a sudden, and said loudly: "The words are all in your mouth, what else are you selling?!"

Mo Qingning stepped back, lowered his voice and said, "I really can't say it, and I don't know the specific situation, I'm not qualified to know, I have to ask the head of the house about this matter." Or rather...... If one day I become the head of the house, and you pass the test, we can sit down and talk about it. ”
