Nocturnal

Qin Mochi sat outside the deserted garden for an unknown amount of time, thinking about his childhood in a mess, thinking about his own life in these years, and then thinking about Xia Hong's averted eyes when he looked at him.Before, he just didn't understand why Xia Hong would do such a cruel thing to a baby, so he rejected his "father" identity from the bottom of his heart.Now he only feels angry, angry that he accepted A Li's affection and help - Lin Tang said that the Xia family's situation in those years was not good, and for a long time they relied on A Li's dowry to support the whole family people's expenses.On the one hand, he accepted the benefits from Ali, but on the other hand, he hated her identity. He didn't have the minimum trust between husband and wife in her, and he didn't even have the slightest affection for the child she gave birth to.

A man, how worried he might be in danger that he hastily disposed of his own son after driving away his wife? !

Ever since he was a child, Qin Mochi has never complained about his background. Even now that he knows that he was born in the shape of an animal, he never feels that life owes him anything.Having a mother like Ali and having such a carefree and happy time is enough to offset all the injustices imposed on him by this world.He just felt angry, because of Ali's cheating situation, because she met a man like Xia Hong at the most difficult time.

Shenniao comforted him clumsily, "Oh, don't be sad, it's all in the past..."

What Qin Mochi was sad about was the past.But A Li is gone, so what can he do even if he wants to break his head?Is it possible to bring her back to life?

Qin Mochi's heart suddenly moved, thinking of the phantom he had seen in the demon core, he looked at the unreliable uncle in front of him, and asked hesitantly: "I saw a sleeping shadow in the demon core, Could it be my mother?"

The divine bird froze for a while with its wings raised, looking at him in disbelief, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Qin Mochi nodded.

Shenniao lowered his head and started pacing in circles.

Qin Mochi sighed, "Let's go."

Shenniao tilted his head and glanced at him, miraculously saw his distrust of himself from his expression, and immediately frowned, "I am your uncle! Brat! Do you know who I am? I am Luanniao, you human beings have a book that records all kinds of monsters in ancient times, and I am also written in it. It is said that there is a bird on the mountain of the female bed. I didn't lie to you." When he said the last sentence, there was already a bit of self-satisfaction in his tone.

Qin Mochi thought this should be "Shan Hai Jing", right?Tsk, I have memorized my own life experience very clearly, word for word.But shouldn't things like ostriches be colorful?This little soft yellow fur in front of him even nicknamed himself "Golden Hair God Bird". How could he look like a ostrich?Could it be that it has lived for 800 years and is still just a fledgling?

"Excuse me, master...what's your name?" Qin Mochi was a little curious. His mother always called it Fat Bird. Could it be that their master also called it that?

Shenniao tidied up the feathers on its wings with great care, and said proudly: "My name is Qingning. Although it is not as loud as my name, it is what Master expects of me, quiet and peaceful."

Your master's expectations have clearly failed.These words turned around in Qin Mochi's mind, but he didn't dare to say them out.The bird croaked very loudly when it got angry, and he was afraid of making noise.

Sure enough, Qingning saw his disapproving expression, and explained angrily, "Qingluan will be very powerful when she grows up, let me tell you, Ali's talisman making is not as good as mine, and I made all the talismans she used later. "

Qin Mochi doesn't remember what talisman his mother used, so he has no way of judging the truth of what he said, but if it weren't for this unreliable uncle, he might not be able to get out of the predicament so smoothly.

"Little Master, I was taken away from the 'Special Affairs Section'," Qin Mochi asked it, "Is the person who can do such a thing very powerful in magic? Is it a demon?"

Qing Ning looked at him with a face full of hatred, "If you weren't so useless, how could you be captured?"

Qin Mochi, "..."

They're not talking about the same thing at all, are they?

Qing Ning looked at him inscrutablely, "I didn't expect that after so long, you still haven't fully refined Ali's demon pill." It stretched out its small wings and tapped his head, "Ali's demon pill Now there is only a phantom left of Dan, barely carrying the remaining monster power, the longer it takes, the more unfavorable it will be for you. I am afraid there will be troubles."

Qin Mochi looked at it blankly, "Then what should I do?"

Qing Ning thought for a while, and showed a very disgusted expression, "You are as weak as a chicken, maybe some monsters who want to eat buns will come to catch you. It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, just now, I will help you Refining the remaining monster power." It waved its wings, "Sit down now, with your heart up to the sky, and meditate... If you can't calm down, just recite the 'Xin Xin Jue' silently. Hurry up!"

Just a second before closing his eyes, Qin Mochi saw Qingning spread his wings, and a phantom spread out from behind it, inflated like a blow, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into something like a tent, covering the surrounding ruined walls and dense forests. Indistinctly isolated.

This may be some kind of enchantment, Qin Mochi thought to himself, then closed his eyes safely, and began to recite the "Xin Xin Jue" silently.

The Qi veins circulated, carrying the trickle-like real energy in the dantian to wash the meridians all the way, up to the sea of ​​consciousness, and then circled back to the dantian.Another powerful aura came rushing forward, like a machine that opened a mountain, forcibly opening Qin Mochi's meridians, which had just taken shape, and slammed into the demon pill that appeared and disappeared in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Qin Mochi snorted, with a pained look on his frown.

Another hit.

Qin Mochi's chest was filled with qi and blood, and blood streaks were faintly oozing from his forehead.

again.

The seal in the sea of ​​consciousness shattered, the demon core spun wildly, and the sealed demon power crashed down from a height like a surging tide.

Qin Mochi only felt a buzzing sound in his head, and the meridians all over his body were almost torn apart by this majestic force.I just feel pain from head to toe, every inch of bone and skin, which is completely different from the feeling when the demon pill refined the leopard skin.The pain was so extreme that Qin Mochi really wished he could knock his head and pass out.

His unreliable uncle is completely like a bandit, leading him recklessly to absorb the power of the demon core, and he is not afraid that his small body will not be able to withstand the big demon who has passed the condensate stage for nearly a thousand years The power of demon cultivation starts from the Qiling Realm, and the long training has to go through the Spiritual Monster Realm, Monster Beast Realm, Demon Core Realm, Transformation Realm, Fairy Realm, Demon Fairy Realm, Demon Commander Realm, Demon King Realm, Great Demon King Realm, The ancient demon king realm, demon god realm, and then reached the demon ancestor realm.

Demon cultivation is not easy, and most of them are between demon pills and transformations.A Li breaks through the fairyland of the demon, triggers the thunder calamity, damages the primordial spirit, and almost dies in the depths of Mount Li.Even though Qin Mochi's half-demon body has been tempered by the animal skin of a demon fairy, it is still very difficult to bear the huge power contained in his body, although his cultivation base has been broken by seven or eight.

In a trance, Qin Mochi felt that he was actually dead, leaving only a wisp of soul, quietly watching the abundant spiritual power in his body continuously flushing his meridians under the impetus of Qingning.The phantom of the demon pill in the Sea of ​​Consciousness is getting weaker and weaker, and the last trace of demon power flows into Qin Mochi's dantian along the meridian, where it turns and turns, slowly condenses together, and finally condenses into a sitting with downcast eyes, with five hearts facing the sky baby shape.

And in this incredible process, Qin Mochi got another gift from Ali.

The inheritance of the demon clan.

This is like a huge file that has been forcibly compressed. It contains all kinds of experience in A Li's cultivation, all kinds of spells she has learned, and bits of memory in her life, and the end of all this is a peaceful picture: A small courtyard in the mountains, a thick old peach tree, and a boy playing with a puppy under the tree.

That was the deepest thing in Ali's memory.

Qing Ning leaned back and forth on the stone slab, the hair on his body was messed up, and the color was much darker, and he shrunk himself into a ball with a disgraced face, looking extremely pitiful.Probably because it sensed Qin Mochi's breath, it hummed without opening its eyes, "Eat something, and talk after I sleep."

It was only then that Qin Mochi realized that there were a few large leaves spread out at his feet, on which was a small pile of fruits, including loquats, and a pile of wild berries that were half red and half green.Qin Mochi gulped.He didn't know how long he had been in samadhi, but he didn't feel hungry, he just salivated reflexively when he saw food.

Not caring about washing, Qin Mochi picked up a bunch of loquats, rubbed them casually and opened his mouth to bite on them.The loquats that grow naturally in the mountains are sweet and sour, even more delicious than anything he has ever eaten.

"You don't eat?"

Qingning snorted.

Qin Mochi looked at its listless appearance, and stretched out his hand to gently stroke its fur.Qing Ning's small body trembled for a while, then softened, allowing him to smooth his hair one by one.

"Where did you live before? Are you going back?"

Qing Ning lazily closed her eyes and said nothing.

"My mother said that your master has already ascended to the sky and became a fairy. My mother is not here anymore... In this way, there are only the two of us left...By the way, what are your names?"

Qing Ning raised her eyelids with difficulty, "Tian Yi School."

"Oh," Qin Mochi pinched the tips of its wings curiously, "Heaven and man are one?"

Qingning remained silent again.

"Then am I also a disciple of the 'Tianyi Sect'?"

Qing Ning showed disdainful eyes, "Don't blindly pursue relationships."

"Okay." Qin Mochi smiled, "You are the only one left in the 'Tianyi faction'. Where do you live?"

Qing Ning was about to talk, when Qin Mochi said: "Why don't you live with me in the city for a while. Although there are many people here and it's quite noisy, there are also many fun things to do, and there are many delicious things. You Definitely haven't eaten."

Qing Ning wanted to refute him, but changed her mind when she heard the last sentence, and said in a drawn-out tone: "...Okay."

Qin Mochi laughed, "Thank you uncle for your face."

Qingning snorted and continued to catch up on sleep.

Qin Mochi quickly finished eating the pile of wild fruits, and felt that all his energy had returned, so he picked up Qingning and began to go down the mountain in the direction it pointed, chatting with him casually as he walked.

"What do you usually do, little master?"

"Uncle is uncle, what do you mean by being small? Do you still have a dislike for me?"

"How can it be? You are small, but you are very capable. Otherwise, you can't save me, right?"

"As long as you know."

"Uncle, what's the matter with the baby sitting in my dantian? Have I reached the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Don't be smug, half of your body is of human blood, and the other half is a demon. If you really want to embark on the path of cultivation, you can only follow the path of demon cultivation. Ali is a demon, if you can make her Absorb all the power and use it for yourself, and you will be able to enter the realm of the demon commander. The Nascent Soul you see is just a phantom, and A Li's millennium skill compared to a human monk, is the realm of the Nascent Soul."

"Am I already this good?"

"Have some face, little nephew."

"I clearly saw..."

"I said, what you see is just a phantom. Well, in the words of you humans, it is... an indicator. It means that you have reached that level, but it is useless to just reach that level. Your current cultivation base is determined by me. With a deadlift, can you exert one-tenth of your power? If you can, you won’t be carried around like you’re buying a bun.”

"..." Even if you are a junior uncle, is it really good to poke people's scars again and again?

"The inheritance that A Li gave you, you have to study hard, it is very useful to you. Little nephew, the world is dangerous, you can either be a bun or a bun eater."

"..."

"Only when you truly become a powerful demon can you do whatever you want without being controlled by others."

"I have already lived the life I wanted to live, little master."

"The demon power is suppressed, pretending that you are still a pure human being? Once there is trouble, you will end up at the mercy of others. Is this the life you want to live?"

Qin Mochi was silent.

He was suddenly a little confused. On this mountain road where the sky was getting dark, an indescribable fear rose in his heart. What is he now?

"Little master," Qin Mochi's voice trembled slightly, "You said that I... am neither a complete person nor a complete demon, what exactly is it? A human or a demon? Uh, you don't need to say the cold jokes of a transvestite. .”

Qing Ning nestled comfortably in his arms, as if she didn't quite understand the ridiculousness of the term transvestite, "You think so? I think you are both a human and a demon."

Qin Mochi didn't say anything, he was both, and he wasn't both, in his opinion there was no difference.

"Little nephew, don't you humans also say that heroes don't ask where they come from?"

Qin Mochi felt that its answer seemed a bit off topic, but it also faintly seemed to happen to fall on the point he most wanted to know.

The night gradually fell, and half a bright moon rose to the top of the head, quietly illuminating the barren path in the mountains and forests.The night wind in early spring is cold, and there is a faint fragrance floating faintly.The sound of flapping wings of night birds overhead and the howling of wild animals in the distance mixed together, playing the nocturnal song of the mountains and forests.

The bright moonlight outlines the clear outline of the mountains in the distance, stretching the silhouette of the night walker very long.This situation made him feel indescribably familiar, as if he had also become a part of the mountain forest.

"It doesn't matter who you are." Qingning's voice was calm and long. In this quiet night, there was a kind of detached indifference, "It depends on what you have done. Among human monks, there are also those who are not strong in Taoism and have fallen into the way of demons." Scum; there have also been demon gods and demon ancestors in the demon cultivator, with indomitable power."

"Qin Mochi, it's all about human effort."
