Anyway, don't delay things, since I walked into this store, it is fate.

Song Yi smiled and said, "It just so happens that I'm going to Jiulu Palace to do something, so I'll help you take a look on the way." I don't know what the names of your relatives are and where they live?"

"Oh, little brother, you are really ......" The host patted his thigh and said happily: "You cultivators are refreshing! I just heard you say that you are going to Jiulu Palace, and I have a thought in my heart, but we meet in Pingshui, how can we be embarrassed to ask you for help...... Well, I won't charge you for this meal! You go and help me take a look at my relative, and if he is sick or has something to delay, I can find a way to do it. ”

After speaking, the host shouted into the kitchen, asking him to add another bowl of pheasant soup to the little brother, and add a leg to the soup.

"The fresh soup that has been stewed for half a night, the original taste, nourishing the vitality, and not on the fire, this is our signature, I guarantee you to eat it once and think twice." ”

"Ouch, you're too polite. ”

"It should be, it should be. ”

The shopkeeper sat down opposite Song Yi and gestured his finger to the table: "There is a road to the Nine Egret Palace, go along the path, walk for about an hour, and you can see the archway of the Nine Egret Palace standing at the foot of the mountain." The yard diagonally opposite the torii is the residence of the hunters, and there are only three or five houses, which are easy to recognize. My relative's surname is He, and they all call him Brother He, and you can find him in the highest room. ”

"Okay, I see. ”

After eating, Song Yi said goodbye to the shopkeeper and continued to hurry. After a short walk, the path turns northwest, and then down a hill, and at the foot of the hill you will connect to the path to the Nine Egret Palace.

It was past noon, the sky was a little overcast, Song Yi left the avenue, the crowd gradually thinned, and soon, he was the only one walking forward.

Descending the hill, Song Yi suddenly saw a person standing in front of him, and when he looked closely, he couldn't help but tense.

This is...... Mo Qingning?!

What's going on?

How did he end up here?

Song Yi was stunned for a moment and stepped forward, it was indeed Mo Qingning.

Song Yi felt that the cold sweat was coming down, he actually appeared here, there was no one around, obviously he was specially here to block himself, could it be ......

"Go back. ”

Sure enough, Mo Qingning glanced at him and opened his mouth with these two words.

"Back to ...... What are you going to do when you go back. Song Yi was not to be outdone: "The ten-day deadline has not yet arrived, there is no need for me to return to the Yuequan Sect now." ”

"Go back. ”

Mo Qingning is still these two words.

"I can't go back now, brother. Song Yi was still a little jealous of his strength, and explained: "I promised my friend a very important thing, I must go to Jiulu Palace, and I also accepted the commission of the shopkeeper, and I ate other people's food, you let me just eat and not do anything?"

"Go back. ”

"Tsk...... You're endless. Song Yi was a little impatient: "I'll go to Jiulu Palace, get things done, and after replying to someone's house, I'll go back to Yuequan Sect immediately, and I won't delay for a day." Tomorrow, at most I'll be back, why are you cutting time so hard?"

Mo Qingning looked at him, did not speak, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Don't go to the Nine Egret Palace." ”

Song Yi scolded secretly, why is this person so brainless? He insisted on going back now, but he couldn't go back now. Even if you are cheeky and eat the owner's meal, you have to face Luo Zhen when you go back.

At this time, the sunlight pierced through the clouds, the gloomy sky became clearer, and in the change of light and shadow, Song Yi suddenly noticed that Mo Qingning's face seemed to be a little strange.

However, without waiting for him to take a closer look, Mo Qingning on the opposite side flipped his wrist, and the long sword stabbed at Song Yi!

Song Yi was shocked, instinctively counterattacked, the sword flew up, and with a "dang long" sound, Mo Qingning's sword blade was knocked down.

Mo Qingning took a step back, but he didn't even move his eyebrows, still staring at Song Yi, and said slowly:

"Don't go to the Nine Egret Palace. ”

Song Yi was unexpected, even if he made progress these days, he would never reach the point where he could force Mo Qingning back with one blow. Sensing that there was something wrong, Song Yi took advantage of a short moment of sunshine to observe Mo Qingning carefully, and now he saw it clearly!

The body of this "Mo Qingning" was faintly transparent, like a thin silhouette, not a real thing.

Could it be ...... No wonder his sword was weak just now, it turned out that it was not him.

Song Yi had a bottom in his heart, and said to "Mo Qingning": "I have to go to Jiulu Palace, senior brother doesn't need to persuade me, rush back to Yuequan Sect immediately after I am done, goodbye." ”

As soon as the words fell, Song Yi's sword was raised, and his true qi came out with the trend, and he entered the body of "Mo Qingning" with the power of thunder, only to hear a "bang", the figure on the opposite side suddenly dissipated, turned into wisps of smoke and dust, and a piece of paper slowly fell to the ground.

Song Yi stepped forward to pick up the piece of paper, thoughtful.

“...... This is, borrowing the body to support the life. ”

The voice in his head said to Song Yi.

"That's right, it's the borrowing technique you told me, I just thought of it. Song Yi said: "You said that this is the master's kung fu, Mo Qingning has been serving the master for many years, and it is not surprising that he has learned it." ”

"Brother Yi, why did Senior Brother Qingning come to tell you not to go to Jiulu Palace? I heard that this borrowing body support technique was researched by the head of the sect when he was in retreat to facilitate the management of the affairs in the door, and it was not designed for combat, so the power of the incarnation is not strong, nor is it smart enough, and it can only pass a few words. This place is already more than two hundred miles away from the Yuequan Sect, and Senior Brother Qingning is coming to stop you from such a distance, is there something wrong with the Nine Egret Palace?"

"I don't know ......"

Song Yi frowned, stared at the paper figure in his palm, looked at the sky that was cloudy again, and looked around. The wind is blowing, the grass is dancing, and the silent path winds away, stretching into the unknown distance, and there is no one to come, and no one to follow.

Why did Mo Qingning come to issue a warning, and what was the purpose?

Song Yi was puzzled, and subconsciously looked back at the direction of the Moon Spring Sect, but only saw the green mountains faint and the clouds in the sky.

......

"Alas......"

Mo Qingning opened his eyes, stared at the cloud of smoke rising in front of him, and sighed silently. At this moment, he sat cross-legged in a clean room, which was spacious and elegantly furnished, with scrolls hanging on several walls, which had a quaint charm.

"What, it's broken?"

There was an inquiry behind him, someone walked slowly, Mo Qingning quickly got up, saluted the comer, and said respectfully: "Master." ”

"Did you really refuse to that little guy?"

“...... The disciple didn't think that he could be persuaded to return by relying on the method of physical support alone. ”

"Oh, if he really listened to you call him back, the one who came back obediently wouldn't let you bother so much. ”

"Yes. Mo Qingning frowned and smiled again, "The head is right, but I still can't help but mention him." ”

"Your tips are reliable?"

The head of the sect paced slowly, walked to the window, left his back to the chief disciple of the Yuequan Sect, and said in a low voice: "We are all speculating about the situation of the Nine Egret Palace after all, since he insists on going, then, let him witness this with his own eyes." ”

“...... I'm just afraid that my junior brother is too young and hasn't been out before, so I won't be able to stand it now. ”

"Do you mean that it could be worse than we expected? If so, it's a bit harsh...... However, if he can't even pass this level, what will he do next? If you want me to say, Yunzheng is good at everything, but he is too protective of his junior brother, and he will grow into greenhouse flowers. Now that the big changes are coming, there is already an undercurrent surging around, and there is no room for warmth. Since you value that young man, you can only help him grow up, even if it hurts him...... Let's hope he'll make it through. ”

"The disciple understands that what the master said is very right. I also helped Brother Song Yi to grow up that day. The fifteen-day covenant...... I didn't expect him to really break through. ”

"Providence. Perhaps, everything is the will of God, and that side is pressing forward step by step, and to this day, our side has also discovered his new hope, which is inevitable......"

"Providence ......"

Mo Qingning muttered, his brows furrowed even tighter, walked to the master's side, and looked side by side with him at the mountains outside the window, the sea of clouds and the blue sky.

"You're young, don't frown all the time. Although there is providence in the world, there is more manpower, and everything I let you do is because you are unwilling to be at the mercy of this providence. ”

“...... That's what I want to do. ”

"So, you were very surprised when you found that little guy, and you gave him a test without even reporting me, and let him enter it step by step, so optimistic about him?"

"When you find hope by accident, you naturally have to grow and cultivate. ”

"Okay, I believe in your vision, and I believe in him, his name is Song Yi, right...... Master Du's disciple, you really can't be wrong, I want to ...... back then"

"Oh, sir, you're going to talk about that again. ”

"What, tired of listening?"

"No, I'll never get tired of listening to it. Not only is he not tired of listening, but he often fantasizes that he has become the head of the year, and has gone through the vicissitudes and eventful years. ”

"There is a chance, Qingning, great changes are coming, and your era is about to unfold ......"

Mo Qingning took a deep breath, raised his gaze, and looked into the distance in the mellow and desolate voice of the master, his eyes seemed to have crossed the lofty mountains, and he saw Song Yi walking step by step on the road to the Nine Egret Palace.

......

Click.

Song Yi stopped, he had just stepped on a dead branch, and stood in place looking around.

The road to the Nine Egret Palace is very quiet, there are no pedestrians along the way, the sky is dark at the moment, the afternoon sun is weak, and the mountain side looks gloomy. This is probably the place the owner said.

There is a memorial arch standing not far in front of the oblique front, it is not new, but it is not dilapidated, there are three big characters on it: Nine Heron Palace. The memorial arch is full of flowers and plants, and a road winds into the mountain.

A few feet away from him was a flat piece of land, about five or six acres in size, with a fence around it, in which several houses were built, which seemed to be uninhabited at a glance.

Song Yi walked into the courtyard and shouted to the tallest room, "Brother He." ”

No one answered.

Song Yi waited for a moment, and then asked again, "Is Brother He here?"

Still no response.

Why, went into the mountains to hunt?

Song Yi walked to the other houses, and found that the doors were almost all closed gently, and there was no lock, thinking that it might be that the hunters in the mountains were simple and did not close their doors at night, and Song Yi was not easy to break in rashly, so he only buckled the doors, but he did not have any hope in his heart.

Most of the hunters are vigilant and alert, they are all people who see and listen to all directions, and no one responds to their two loud shouts, and there must be no response when they knock on the door, most of them are not at home.

It seems that this time it was in vain.
