Nocturnal

Standing on the mountainside and looking down, there is a small county seat hidden among the layers of fresh greenery. The narrow roads and the uneven houses on both sides of the road show that this is not the kind of wealthy place that is often seen in newspapers and TVs. .

Qin Mochi was a little dumbfounded, at first he thought he was trapped in the deep mountains near Badaoling, but now it seems that is not the case at all.He has also seen the village in Badaoling Mountain, the architectural style is completely different from here.

"Little Master," Qin Mochi muttered to himself, "Where are we now?"

The young master fell asleep on his back in his arms, not knowing about personnel.

Qin Mochi had no choice but to carry it slowly down the mountain while thinking about what to do.Qin Mochi didn't know how long it had passed since he was taken away, to absorbing the demon pill, and then he entered meditation and digested this true essence.But thinking about it, it should be a long time. It's okay to have Xia Zhifei covering up at home, and the "Special Affairs Section" should make corresponding arrangements in the workplace.As for the others...

Qin Mochi frowned slightly,

Qing Ning in her arms kicked her legs, got up on a wheel, and looked around with her head covered with unkempt bird feathers, "What's going on? How can there be a monster in such a good place? This place is wrong!"

Qin Mochi hugged it frantically, "What's wrong?"

Qing Ning seemed to be distinguishing the smell in the air, shaking her little head, and finally pointed in the direction of the county seat, "Monster Qi."

Qin Mochi, "...how did you smell it?"

"Smell?!" Qingning stared at Heidou, and slapped him with big wings, "Smell me! Smell!"

Qin Mochi couldn't dodge in time, and was swept by the tip of his wing, leaving a red mark on his cheek, which was burning with pain.Although he was hiding here and there, he didn't dare to really throw this fierce little master out. He felt really wronged, and thought to himself that even if he took Ali's favor away from birth, you don't have to save it until now. Let's take revenge together?

"Stop beating," Qin Mochi became irritable, "Speak up if you have something to say... ah..."

Another hit.

Qing Ning was beaten up, and the whole bird returned to the aloofness of an elder, "The evil spirit is not a smell, but a kind of coercion, a kind of unconscious power released. Of course, like Ali Such a big monster can be retracted freely - you are not yet able to do so, you need to practice."

Qin Mochi, "..."

He didn't ask any questions at all, did he?

Qing Ning said again: "Your cultivation base is not yet proficient in using it. Even if you have some feelings, it is not clear. Another way is to learn to see with spiritual consciousness. Well, you humans sometimes call it spiritual power." Said At this point, I was a little puzzled, "Speaking of which, there is another thing that is very strange. Yao Su used the power of the demon to judge the strength of the opponent, and did not open his eyes to say that it was a thing made by human onmyojis. Are you How did you open your eyes?"

Qin Mochi remembered the phantom of the police badge that rushed into his eyebrows when he took the oath in the "Special Affairs Division".

"The human body is really strange." Qing Ning muttered, and carefully glanced at the position of Qin Mochi's temple.Using the spiritual power in the eyesight, one can see a strange rune the size of a fingernail spinning faintly.Ordinary humans are invisible, but to goblins, elves, and monks, it is clear at a glance.But when Qin Mochi transported the true essence, the runes disappeared again.Qing Ning had never seen a police badge before, so naturally he didn't know what the rune was about, it seemed like some kind of sign... Forget it, let's find a chance to interrogate Qin Mochi when we get down the mountain.

Qing Ning was puzzled for a while, and then continued to give him popular science on how to make his consciousness go outside.While listening to his lecture, Qin Mochi secretly felt that he was now like the hero of shit luck in a martial arts novel who possessed peerless martial arts but couldn't use them himself.As the consciousness slowly spread around, Qin Mochi suddenly felt an extremely strange feeling.He seems to have grown countless invisible tentacles, slowly extending in the air, and spreading to the surroundings bit by bit.And the tentacles seemed to have eyes, which made him clearly "see" the dead trees lying on the mountain road, the voles crawling around in the grass, the signs erected by humans at the corners of the mountain road, and the vicinity of the signs...

Qin Mochi's heart skipped a beat.

He "saw" a mass of rolling mist hovering near the sign, thick black mixed with traces of bright red, starting from here, spreading to the sky above the county town, covering most of the county town.When I opened my eyes, there was nothing there.

"Blood smell." Qingning calmly continued to teach him the practical lesson, "This monster has already killed someone."

Qin Mochi asked casually, "Is it the red thread in the mist?"

Qing Ning responded, then shook her paws impatiently, "Trouble. I've come here, it's not easy to go back and find a way down the mountain..."

Qin Mochi kept opening and closing his eyes to experiment, "Is this monster very powerful?"

Qing Ning coldly snorted disdainfully, "What's so great about this? It's just using sorcery to forcefully improve your cultivation... No," it carefully discerned the breath coming from the wind, and murmured uncertainly, "How is it like Is it the Spirit Gathering Formation?"

"Why do you use it?" Qin Mochi asked casually, and then realized after asking, "Like the Yuan Suction Talisman before, it absorbs other people's spiritual power?"

"No," Qing Ning looked carefully at the place where the black clouds gathered, "what it absorbs is... anger."

"What's that?"

Qing Ning thought for a while, "This demon probably wanted to forcibly improve his cultivation, or he was injured and couldn't recover in a short time... Well, after all, it is not so easy to meet people who practice Taoism or demon cultivators. Its injured body may not be able to catch it, so it chooses to hide in this remote small county town, absorbing the vitality of some living people, which is better than nothing."

"What will happen to the living?" Qin Mochi felt angry. No matter under what circumstances, it is a despicable act to attack someone who has no ability to fight back.

Qing Ning shook her head and said: "In good health, you will probably feel tired and weak. If you are in bad health...it's not easy to say."

Qin Mochi remembered the oath he said when he took the oath, and his heart surged, "Is this monster very powerful? Is it better than me?"

Qing Ning showed a disdainful look, "Looking at the cultivation base alone, it is just a little demon with two or three hundred years, so it is naturally not as good as you, but you don't know anything, if you really want to confront him, what will you do? Who has a harder head?"

"There is always a way." Qin Mochi patted the head of the young master, "I won't be impulsive."

The little uncle slapped his hand away in disgust, "What are you going to do?"

"Let's take a look at the county," Qin Mochi said, "Find a place to contact Keli to see how to deal with this situation. By the way, little master, do I still have a demonic aura? How can I hide it?"

The little master raised his forehead, "...It's really useless."

Disgusted or disliked, Qing Ning is still very careful instructing him on the method of restraining his breath - Ali is a big monster, this kind of low-level function is like asking an adult to fold up his handkerchief and put it in his pocket compared to her cultivation base It's as simple as that.

The name of the small county is Lan County. It is a very ordinary small county in a mountainous area with a small population. Most of the young and middle-aged aborigines have gone to other places to work.A few months ago, a new electronic processing factory was opened on the east side of the county. It is said that the salary is very good, which has attracted many young and middle-aged people from nearby counties to work here.

The midpoint of the black mist hovering is here.

Qing Ning commented: "There are many middle-aged people here, and they are the most angry."

Qin Mochi looked at the billowing black mist from a distance, and carefully walked around to the other end of the county with Qingning in his arms.Both he and Qing Ning have restrained their aura, but for safety's sake, it's safer to stay far away.

Qin Mochi found a small hotel that seemed clean enough to live in. Only then did he realize that it had been nearly a month since he was kidnapped and he became samadhi after absorbing the demon pill.The battery of the mobile phone has long been dead, but fortunately, the wallet and documents are all on the body.

Qin Mochi took his yellow-haired junior uncle to have a barely tasted dinner, and then bought a charger. After returning to the hotel, he first called Qu Zhi and briefly talked about his situation.In fact, there is nothing to say. I met a certain senior, was rescued, and was trapped in the mountain. When I went down the mountain, I saw the demon fog hovering above the county town.

Qu Zhi's answer was also very concise and neat, "I'll contact the nearest 'Special Affairs Section' staff immediately, please don't act rashly."

Qin Mochi agreed, and then asked: "If the situation changes, what should I do?" What should I do without violating the rules?This is what he is more concerned about. After all, the little master is here, and Qin Mochi is still very confident in its ability.

Qu Zhi seemed to smile, "Your personal safety is the most important thing. If you are threatened, you can smash the demon pill directly - remember to find more than two witnesses and submit a report when you come back."

Qin Mochi felt relieved, "Okay, I got it. Do you need a video?"

Qu Zhi was silent for a while, "...if you are busy."

After reporting the work, Xia Zhifei's voice came from the phone, and he asked nervously, "Xiao Mo, how are you doing? We're almost turning Linhai City over!"

Qin Mochi was moved immediately, "Second brother, I'm fine."

"What was it that took you away?"

Qin Mochi was kidnapped under the noses of the "Special Affairs Division" gang of gods, it was a blatant slap in the face.But the number of face-slapping people is higher than them, so there is no clue at all.At that time, there were so many monsters downstairs, and it took a lot of effort to check them one by one.Still got nothing.Xia Zhifei has been working for so long, and he has never encountered anything more embarrassing than this, not to mention that it was his younger brother who encountered this - he dragged Qin Mochi into the "special affairs department" for the sake of making Qin Mochi live a safe and comfortable life , not to prepare supper for the big monsters with evil intentions.

"I don't know." Qin Mochi reported honestly, "He used the yuan-absorbing talisman, and I was almost sucked dry."

Xia Zhifei took a deep breath, "That thing is called 'Qiankun Realm', and it's not a cheap item that anyone can take out."

Qin Mochi heard from Qingning that this thing is similar to the legendary Qiankun bag, not many have been handed down from generation to generation, and many people have never seen it with their own eyes in their entire lives.There may be some sects of cultivation with strong family backgrounds, but they are all carefully hidden as treasures, and they are rarely shown out.This is a real magic weapon.Qingning didn't even know who had this thing in his hand.

"I have my uncle's warning talisman on me," Qin Mochi said shortly. "It saw the warning talisman shattered, so it came to rescue me. It's with me now. I'm safe."

"Just out of the monster's den, and then into the demon's den..." Xia Zhifei cursed in a low voice, what kind of fucking luck is this? !

"It's okay, uncle taught me a lot." When Qin Mochi said this, his heart trembled.The little yellow-haired bird is the cruelest teacher he has ever seen since he was a child.

"Well, that's good. Just now Brother Qu turned on his mobile phone and put it outside. I heard you talking about the county seat. It will take about four to six hours to send someone from the 'Special Affairs Section' closest to Lan County," Xia Zhifei told him anxiously, "Don't do anything casually. You are not familiar with the rules and regulations, so don't make mistakes!"

Qin Mochi couldn't help but laugh, "Understood, sir."

"By the way," Xia Zhifei asked, "Did you call Li Yedu? This kid is looking for you like crazy."

Qin Mochi remained silent.

"Xiao Mo?" Xia Zhifei didn't know if he heard what he said, "Xiao Mo? Did you hear it?"

Qin Mochi hung up the phone.

He didn't know how to explain to Xia Zhifei that when he was imprisoned in the Qiankun Realm, he once smelled a very faint smell of burnt peach wood. If he hadn't smelled it before, he might have completely ignore it.Just a similar smell, of course, and in his dazed state he wasn't even entirely sure if it was the same smell as he'd ever smelled.Maybe there are other monks who use this method to temper cinnabar...

However, he already had this thorn in his heart, how could he persuade himself that this taste had nothing to do with Li Yedu or his teacher?

Forget it, Qin Mochi sighed, let's wait until the immediate troubles are resolved before thinking about it.

Qin Mochi soon had no time to worry about the taste. His hairy little uncle became interested in the "special affairs department" he had repeatedly mentioned. He didn't understand why Qin Mochi asked this question when he met a demon cultivator. Only the "Special Affairs Section" can decide what to do.

It took Qin Mochi more than an hour to explain to him the work organization he had just joined. Qing Ning barely understood that the "Special Affairs Division" was actually a large-scale sect with the imperial court as its backer, and people from all over the world There are branch halls, and members of the sect have their own set of rules and regulations, and they cannot easily break the rules, otherwise they will be punished.

"Do you still have to listen to the emperor?" The junior uncle was thoughtful, "The scale is not small, even more powerful than Jin Yiwei."

Qin Mochi, "..."

It's not the same thing at all, is it?

Qingning asked again: "How about the salary? When will the armor be removed?"

Qin Mochi, "...I still have a way to make money. I have a store and sell some jewelry and so on. I don't rely on this to support my family. As for retirement...about fifty?" Qu Zhi really didn't mention this in his training.

Qing Ning was taken aback, "As an official of the imperial court, how can I do business privately? This is going to be beheaded!"

Qin Mochi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Master, the world has changed."

Qingning looked at him suspiciously, "The court doesn't care?"

Qin Mochi spent another hour explaining to him the official court order... Cough, the difference between a staff member and a temporary worker.Qing Ning didn't know if she understood or not, so she lost her mind for a while in half-belief.

"Hey," Qing Ning paced back and forth on the table with her wings on her back, "You just said that the backup would not arrive until early tomorrow morning, why don't I check the situation first. You have to know the depth of the other party. Know yourself and know each other. "

Qin Mochi was totally ignorant of the workflow of the "Special Affairs Section", so naturally he didn't dare to act rashly.But Qingning didn't have such worries, the small county was full of monsters, how could it be able to sleep?

"Little Master," Qin Mochi comforted it, "Calm down."

"Don't be afraid." Qing Ning patted the back of his hand with her wings, "This little demon is no match for me. If he wants to absorb my vitality, he must practice for at least 800 years."

Qin Mochi thought about it, and there was really nothing to worry about. The method of hiding his aura was taught by him just now, and his skill might be stronger than Ali's, and his appearance was not likely to attract the attention of others.

"Then be careful." Qin Mochi said, "Go early and return early."

"Don't worry, child." Qingning comforted him old-fashionedly, "You are here to wait for your companions, and you must not run around."

Qin Mochi, "..."

Although I know that it is probably older than Ali, why is it so awkward when I hear the word "child" spit out from its bird's mouth?

Qingning ignored Qin Mochi's awkwardness, it flapped its wings around the room, and flew out like an arrow along the half-opened window. In the blink of an eye, the light-colored figure disappeared into the thick night.
