"Magic breath?"

Di Shi repeated it in a low voice in doubt. After repeating, he suddenly realized something, and shattered the teacup in his hand in shock, "How could there be a demonic breath in the Zheng residence? Could it be that the demon master broke through the seal..."

Qi Jing had just seen the gate of the demon world being sealed more than a month ago, so he didn't take Di Shi's worry seriously.Although there are some cracks on the sword of Jun Guijian, it will not be broken in such a short period of time, and the gate of the demon world will not be broken and opened so easily. Why is the master of the demon world appearing in the cultivation world?

Contrary to Qi Shi, what he was thinking about was not the magic breath, but something else.

The moment Qi Jing saw the magic breath, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

If Zheng Biao's body is really a demon, why did he stay alive until now?

Maybe they both thought about it before.

Because of the demonic breath on Yan Zhilan's body before, when they saw the situation on Zheng Biao's body, their first subconscious reaction was naturally to think that it was the work of monsters.

However, they overlooked that besides this, there is actually another possibility, what if the Gu on Zheng Biao's body was refined by some cultivator instead of a demonic Gu?

Since the Demon Realm was able to cast demonic Gu on Zheng Biao's body silently, it meant that their power had infiltrated the Great Moon Kingdom, at least it was not as simple as one or two monsters escaping.

However, in fact, apart from Zheng Biao, no other monks had abnormalities at all, and it was more like a targeted revenge against Zheng Biao and the Zheng family.

After all, there is one and only one record of the demonic Gu in all the historical books that can be verified. Except for the battle before Yongye, the demonic Gu never appeared in front of the world after the demon lord Chaoye ruled for decades.

If you insist on pursuing it, it can be said that the demon lord Chaoye is too confident in his own ability, and he does not need such a low-level method as a demon to control the family of the immortal family. As long as he gives an order, no one in each family will resist. Dare not to follow.

But in this way, how to explain what happened later?

Later, the Xianmen family, who couldn't stand the unbearable suppression by brute force, gathered together under the leadership of Qi Yiwei, the ancestor of Qi's family, to break into the magic palace like a broken bamboo.

Chao Ye held the magic weapon in his hand, but he never used it again. Instead, he retreated steadily. The fairy family led by Qi Yiwei beat him and all the monsters under his command back to the demon world, and sealed them up.

At such a time of life and death, why didn't Chao Ye use the magic gu?

This question has troubled Qi Jing for a long time, after the interference of the demonic breath just now, somehow, he suddenly thought of this question again.

He went over Zheng Biao's matter again in his heart, and another bold idea popped up in his mind.

Maybe they were all wrong, maybe the magic Gu that Chao Ye used was not the Gu they thought it was, but something else.Or, Chao Ye didn't use magic gu at all, but used it as a cover-up to cover up the truth of the matter.

In any case, after a hundred years, Rao Ye was sealed in the magic gate, and no one knows the truth of the matter now.

It's just that Gu worms, Qi Jing thought about it, and found that they are not exclusive to monsters.

A long time ago, there were monks who used Gu refining as a way of cultivation. It was not until the demons slaughtered wantonly, and the cultivation world regained its momentum and order, and everyone talked about Gu, that this way of cultivation gradually disappeared.

What if there are still people practicing in this way a hundred years later?

Qi Jing suppressed the thought that came up in his heart, and asked Di Shi: "Has Patriarch Zheng offended anyone recently?"

Di Shi thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "Because of his own aptitude, my husband's cultivation level is not high, so he has always been timid and afraid of getting into trouble.

Qi Jing thought about Zheng Biao's previous performance, and found that it was true, so he asked again: "Then what's wrong with the Zheng family recently?"

Di Shi thought for a while, but still shook his head: "That's not true. After all, my husband is a legitimate head of the family. Even if someone is dissatisfied, he dare not say anything."

Qi Jing had no choice but to hold on to the last glimmer of hope and asked her: "Who is responsible for Patriarch Zheng's food and clothing these days?"

Dishi raised her head sharply: "Your Majesty, is this the work of someone in the mansion?"

Qi Jing said: "I can't come to a conclusion right now, I have to meet people and ask a few questions first."

When Dishi heard this, he immediately asked his confidants to call for someone.

After a while, the servant girl ran in with a panicked face: "Ma'am, Zheng Er, the house slave who took care of the Patriarch committed suicide."

Di Shi's pupils shrank: "What did you say?"

The confidant maid stammered and said: "According to Zheng Ba, who is in the same room with him, Zheng Er often speaks ill of the Patriarch in private, and said that sooner or later he will let the Patriarch taste his power... Nu Huan I found this from under the bed in Zheng Er's room..."

As she spoke, she presented a palm-sized square ink cartridge in her hand.

Di Shi looked at Qi Jing: "Your Majesty..."

Qi Jing signaled her to be calm, and casually took out a sword from the decorative sword hanging on the wall, and picked up the ink cartridge.

A puff of thick white smoke rushed out in an instant, and when the smoke cleared, the contents of the box appeared in front of everyone, including a few ferocious, fat and dead bugs.

Qi Jing understood, these few must be mother Gu.

He said that asking someone to ask questions was just an excuse, and the main purpose was to confirm the guess in his heart.

It seems that everything is as he expected, the Gu worms in Zheng Biao's body should be in the diet.

He just found some clues here, and Yan Zhilan came out of the room over there.

Qi Jing heard the movement, looked over, and asked him, "How is it?"

Yan Zhilan looked a little tired: "All the Gu insects have been found, but what will happen to Patriarch Zheng in the future will not be known until he wakes up."

The implication is that life has been saved, and the rest is left to fate.

He lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes fell on the pile of powder beside Qi Jing, and asked: "But you found something?"

Qi Jing nodded and didn't hide from him: "It's a pity that the clue was cut off as soon as I found a little clue."

He told the other party verbatim about his previous guess about the magic gu.

After Yan Zhilan listened quietly, he said three words: "Puppet array."

Qi Jing was taken aback for a moment, his first reaction was to think that the puppet formation on his body had been activated, and he was secretly on guard.Seeing Yan Zhilan's normal expression after a while, he realized that what Yan Zhilan was talking about might be the method used by Chao Ye during the war.

Suddenly, Lingtai suddenly became enlightened.

Chao Ye led the army of the demon world to kill countless people along the way, including countless undead and unjust souls. It is not difficult at all to set up a few puppet formations.

It's just that according to the records at the time, Chao Ye didn't enter the city, but the puppet formation erupted in the city. Qi Jing scratched his head and couldn't figure out how he did it.

Yan Zhilan seemed to know what he was thinking, and said calmly: "It's an internal response."

After finishing speaking, he added: "A large number of internal responses."

Qi Jing was even more puzzled: "But betraying your compatriots and working with the demons is tantamount to seeking skins from tigers. What benefits can they gain by doing so?"

Yan Zhilan looked at him firmly, "What if those insiders are not monks?"

"Aren't you a monk?" Qi Jing murmured and repeated before realizing, "You mean..."

Either a monk, or a person from the devil world.

It's not like he didn't think about this possibility before.

It's just that this kind of thought was too unbelievable, it just flashed through his mind, but he didn't take it to heart.The place where the family of the immortal family gathers is as powerful as crucian carp crossing the river. If there are monsters lurking in it, how can they not notice it?

"It's not impossible to hide the devil's breath on your body," Yan Zhilan said, "The breath of low-level monsters from the devil world is turbid and dirty, so it is easy to be noticed. But if it is a high-level demon, you want to temporarily cover up your body. It is not difficult for the magic breath to mix into the cultivation world."

"But according to the history books," Qi Jing was still puzzled, "The demon lord Chao Ye almost easily broke into the Inner Belly Fortress with a destructive force, so many arrangements can't be completed overnight. Did you arrive? If you have been lurking in the cultivation world for such a long time, won’t you be exposed?”

"No, there is another way, which can completely cover up the magic breath." Yan Zhilan lowered his eyes and said.

Qi Jing opened his eyes wide: "What method?"

Yan Zhilan was silent for a moment, and said: "If the high-level demons are combined with human monks, a small part of the children born will have no characteristics of the demons, no magic breath, just like ordinary people. Cultivate in the way of monks, cultivate the core, no one will find out that they are children of the demons, and no one will have the slightest suspicion..."

Qi Jing was dumbfounded when he heard that, what's the difference between stepping on a horse and being buried in the crowd?Maybe when you are walking on the road, it will suddenly explode, which makes people caught off guard. The most frightening thing is that you want to look for it in advance, and you don’t even know where it is hidden in that corner!

After listening to Yan Zhilan's words, Qi Jing asked him with a little luck: "Is there really no way to find those...?"

Yan Zhilan shook his head slightly: "Unless the part of their blood that belongs to the demon clan awakens or suddenly erupts for some reason, no one will know who is a demon and who is a human."

Di Shi, who had been standing by the side all the time, heard their words were full of demons and monks. At first, he looked dazed, but then he came back and said viciously: "As long as it is a monster, it should be killed."

A glint of gloom flashed in Yan Zhilan's eyes, and Qi Jing thought he was thinking of the puppet formation, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Huh? Why hasn't Mr. Luo come out yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yangsheng came out from the inner room.

Qi Jing hurriedly went up to meet him: "Sir, it's hard work. Please sit down and rest."

Over there, Di Shi also hurriedly ordered people to serve tea and snacks again.

Luo Yangsheng stopped Di Shi, and said, "It's not busy. Zheng Biao has already woken up, you should go and have a look first."

As soon as these words came out, not only Di Shi was stunned, but even Qi Jing was stunned: "So fast?"

Luo Yangsheng raised his beard and glared at him, Qi Jing gave a shy smile.

Dishi also reacted, and said repeatedly: "Oh, wake up, wake up, I'll go right away..." She walked inside while wiping tears of joy.

Yan Zhilan saw that Luo Yangsheng intended to dismiss Di Shi, so he asked, "Sir, do you have something to say?"

Luo Yang let out a long sigh: "It's miserable! It's really miserable! Luo has been practicing medicine for so many years, and he has never seen such a miserable person."

Qi Jing looked at this, then at that, and asked, "What's wrong? What do you mean?"

Yan Zhilan seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Patriarch Zheng may not have much time."

Qi Jing said blankly: "Isn't this something that was expected a long time ago?"

"Not only that," Yan Zhilan said, "Patriarch Zheng is still conscious and can say a few words, but it won't take long..."

Luo Yangsheng then added: "It won't be long before I watch myself turn into a puddle of blood and die of torture."

Qi Jing thought about the scene for a while, and couldn't help shivering: "How could this happen? Aren't all the Gu worms forced out?"

"The poison penetrates deep into the bones and blood. Mr. Luo can wake him up and retain consciousness, which is far beyond the reach of other medical practitioners." Yan Zhilan explained beside him, his eyes darkened, "Whether the master envoy is Who, the world of the Zheng family is about to change."

They all knew in their hearts that the so-called domestic servant who committed suicide was just a scapegoat, and the real murderer was still behind the scenes, hiding very deeply.

When several people came out of Zheng's residence, they all looked dull, especially Qi Jing.

However, in just half a day, the frights he received were getting bigger and bigger, and he was terrified after thinking about it.

When he was sitting on the chariot and going to the palace, Yan Zhilan's words could not help appearing in his mind, and he quietly looked at all kinds of people on the side of the road covered by the gauze curtain, and couldn't help but think about what was going on inside. Are there people hiding in the demon world peeping at them in secret, or are there descendants of the demon race, pretending to be ordinary monks, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Even though he knew that thinking about it now was purely paranoid to scare himself, Qi Jing couldn't help but look outside, seeing this timid demon-like person for a while, and seeing that the sly-eyed person was not a good person for a while.

It didn't take long before I became dizzy and dizzy, so I had no choice but to retract my head honestly, close my eyes and rest my mind.

It's just that when he didn't pay attention, a young man walked towards his chariot in the distance.

As if he had sensed something, when the young man walked up to Qi Jingnian, he raised his head and took a look inside. At the moment when Qi Jing put down the gauze, a small half of his face flashed past, and then Covered behind layers of gauze.

The young man stared at the chariot that quickly disappeared in front of him, and was stunned. It took a long time for him to react, a smile appeared on his stern face, and he murmured in a low voice: "Finally found you, son."

------

Sure enough, as Luo Yangsheng said, within half a month, news came from the Zheng residence that the Patriarch died of a sudden illness.

Qi Jing looked at the secret letter unfolded in his hand, and asked Yan Zhilan who was at the side: "What is Di Shi trying to do?"

Zheng Biao passed away, and Zheng Jue was Zheng Biao's son-in-law and the only legitimate heir to the family business. Di Shi not only failed to recall Zheng Jue from northern Xinjiang, but rejected Zheng Jue's request many times to prevent him from coming back. On the day of Zheng Biao's funeral, he regarded Zheng Zheng as his adopted son and gave Zheng Zheng the identity of the second son of the Zheng family in public.

If it hadn't been for the secret letter saying that Di's business was as usual, Qi Jing would almost have thought that she was too mad because of Zheng Biao's death.

On that day, she still had a look of wanting to get rid of Zheng Zheng, how could she become a kind and generous aunt in the blink of an eye?

Yan Zhilan was trying to find clues to the puppet array from the book recently, when he heard the words, he covered his pages and pondered for a moment, and said straight to the point: "It's nothing more than flattery."

"Killing?"

The moment the two words blurted out, Qi Jing understood what he meant.

Thinking about it, now that the Zheng family has changed from old to new, and people's hearts are fluctuating. Under the seemingly calm surface, there are many dangers hidden. At this moment, Zheng Jue, who is far away from the capital and is in the northern border, is the safest.Otherwise, if Zheng Jue, the only legitimate son of the Zheng family, had any accident on the way back...

With the bloodline of the direct line withered, the position of the Patriarch of the Zheng family must be selected from many side branches. At that time, all parties will compete for it, and it will be a lot of trouble.

Presumably Di Shi also anticipated this situation, and took advantage of the situation to push Zheng Zheng to the bright side.

On the one hand, he has earned himself a good reputation as a virtuous and virtuous person. After all, everyone knows that Zheng Zheng is the son of Zheng Biao. Secretly paving the way for Zheng Jue, although everyone knew that Zheng Jue was the candidate for the head of the Zheng family, even if Zheng Zheng was recognized as the Zheng family, he would be nothing.However, Zheng Jue is not in the capital at the moment, and most of the open and dark attacks that were originally aimed at Zheng Jue will be transferred to Zheng Zheng.

That is to say, Zheng Zheng is actually a bright target that Di Shi pushed out in order to protect his parents and children, and he almost wrote a few big words on him: All come towards me.

Qi Jing secretly sighed that Di Shi really had a good plan.

Zheng Zheng wholeheartedly wanted to recognize his ancestors and return to his family, and would rather die in the Zheng family than leave. Going around like this can be regarded as fulfilling his wish, but he doesn't know if the present day is really what he wants.

Hearing his sigh, Yan Zhilan raised his eyelids and glanced at him, licking the pages of the book with a slender finger, and said lightly: "If your majesty is worried, why don't you go and have a look?"

Qi Jing was stunned by his thoughtless words: "What are you worried about?"

Yan Zhilan's eyes stayed on the book in front of him, and he asked, "Isn't Your Highness worried about Zheng Zheng's situation?"

Qi Jing said dumbly: "This is the Zheng family's family affairs. Even if I am the king, I can't interfere. Besides, I can help for a while, but I can't help forever. Since Zheng Zheng wants to stay in the Zheng family, he has to take out his own Ability. Does it mean that every time he encounters a difficult problem in the future, I have to help him solve it?"

After saying these straightforward words, Qi Jing muttered to himself again, "It's not my daughter-in-law, why should I care so much? Are you free?"

Yan Zhilan originally wanted to ask why he took care of his own affairs, but before he could say it, he heard the words he said to himself, and was startled.

Qi Jing didn't realize it, just when the little waiter came up with freshly washed melons and fruits, he saw the round and lovely purple and black grapes on the crystal plate, so he turned his head and asked Yan Zhilan: "Do you want to eat grapes?"

Yan Zhilan came back to his senses, and said coldly: "No need."

Qi Jing glanced at him in surprise, not knowing why: "Why are you so angry?"

Yan Zhilan was noncommittal and continued to read his book without raising his head.

Qi Jing has long been accustomed to this, and doesn't care much about it. Good-looking people are more or less petty, he understands.

He lay down on the soft couch as if he had no bones, and chatted with Yan Zhilan while eating snacks: "Tell me, the person behind the Zheng family this time is the same person as the person behind us?"

Yan Zhilan quietly turned over a page of the book, "I don't know."

Qi Jing was not embarrassed, and continued to talk about his guess: "But if it is a person, what is their purpose of attacking the Zheng family?"

Yan Zhilan twiddled the pages of the book with two fingers, and heard Qi Jing talking to himself: "Actually, I didn't understand why they would attack you. Could it be that you are so perfect that they are jealous and want to make you look so perfect?" Your reputation has ruined you? Ah change/state oh change/state!"

Yan Zhilan turned the pages of the book expressionlessly, Qi Jing was still talking nonsense: "Or just because you look good, I want to snatch you back to be Mrs. Yazhai?"

Yan Zhilan's hand "slapped" on it, Qi Jing heard the movement, and glanced sideways: "Did you find the clue?"

Yan Zhilan closed the book and stood up, saying, "No."

Seeing his uneasy expression, Qi Jing let out an "oh", and sighed in his heart: a beautiful person is beautiful because she is a cold and wooden soul.Not fun at all!

After a while, he couldn't help calling Yan Zhilan again: "Hey, that—"

Yan Zhilan glanced at him coldly, Qi Jing was puzzled: "Who provoked you again?"

Yan Zhilan also felt that his irritability was weird, so he was going to go to bed and close his eyes to rest for a while.

It's just that as soon as he lay down on his back, Qi Jing's magnified face appeared above him, and his black and blue eyes were staring right at him.

Yan Zhilan's breathing stopped suddenly, and he calmed down for a moment, and asked him, "What's the matter?"

Qi Jing stared at him for a while, winked and said: "It's still early, go to bed after dinner."

Yan Zhilan looked past him, and glanced at the golden sky hanging high outside. It's not yet noon, so why talk about dinner?

Qi Jing was nervous for a while and said the wrong thing, so he simply smashed the jar, tore off his face, and leaned over to get close to Yan Zhilan.

Eye to eye, nose to nose, Qi Jing looked at Yan Zhilan's eyes as dark as deep pools, suddenly felt a little dizzy, straightened up quickly, and jumped off the bed: "Hurry up, I'll wait for you outside the hall."

After speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the gate of the palace.

Yan Zhilan looked at his fleeing figure, squinted his eyes, wondering what bad idea Qi Jing was planning again.

When Yan Zhilan came out, Qi Jing took out a red silk ribbon from behind as if conjuring, and motioned him to close his eyes.

Yan Zhilan did as he said.

The next moment, the cool silk ribbon was wrapped around his eyes, and then there was a warm touch from his hand, and it was Qi Jing who was holding his hand and walking towards a certain place.

He was blindfolded to block his vision, and his senses of smell and hearing became sharpened.

First, I walked through a place full of flowers, then the ups and downs of insects, and then the bumpy path. Qi Jing also reminded: "Be careful, a dead tree has fallen in front, lift your feet and don't get tripped." It's..."

Finally, I came to a place with gurgling water, the sound of water gurgling, and the fresh and elegant fragrance of plants and trees in my nose, which made me feel happy.

Qi Jing took off the red silk tied around his eyes, but didn't allow him to open them, covered his eyes with his own hands from behind, and pushed him forward step by step.

Behind him is Qi Jing's leaning chest, in front of him is Qi Jing's hot palm, and Qi Jing's warm breath rushing towards his ear...

Yan Zhilan's mind trembled suddenly, deliberately ignoring the uncomfortable feeling, and hearing Qi Jing asked without complacency: "How is it? I arranged it myself! Are you moved?"

The hand covering Yan Zhilan's eyes was released as soon as he uttered the first word.

Yan Zhilan, who was used to the darkness, suddenly brightened up.He squinted his eyes, and when he got used to it, he couldn't help but froze when he saw everything in front of him clearly.

The author has something to say: Yan Zhilan: He said that he only cares about his wife... Forget it, let him take advantage of it.

Qi Jing: What do you think big brother?

Yan Zhilan (coldly): Who wants to be your brother?

Qi Jing (confused.jpg): Why are you angry again?
