Outside of Time

Accidents always appear suddenly, causing waves and drowning a person's mind.

At this moment, Xu Qing was just listening to Jun Cheng telling the history of the human race. This was the first time he heard about the past of the human race. He was immersed in it instinctively. Without any preparation, he heard the name he least wanted to hear.

Judging from Jun Cheng's remarks, it seems that this person... once made significant contributions to the human race.

Xu Qing is not that great. His idea is simple: find the crow and kill him.

As for what the other party had done, whether it was true as the county magistrate said or whether it was fabricated by future generations, Xu Qing felt that there was no need to think about it.

There may be good and evil in this world, but most of the time, the relationship between people is not that simple, but contains complexity.

Therefore, there are very few good and evil in the true sense. Ultimately, everything is mostly caused by differences in stance.

In order to survive, one person robbed another person of the last white elixir in his life, and that person died of alienation. Then the robber did many such things and finally survived.

Then in the eyes of all those who were killed by him and in the eyes of the world, he is evil.

But after he survived, he benefited more people in the future and saved others from death, so in the eyes of these people, he was kind.

So is he evil or good?

Some things are actually difficult to distinguish, because no matter what choice you make, it is wrong. To distinguish the behavior itself actually contains different positions.

Xu Qing saw too many real cases when he was a child, and he was also confused about this.

All the way to this day, although he still doesn't understand everything, he still knows the direction.

It's enough to stick to your heart.

If you want to kill me, I will kill you.

If you come and rob me, I will kill you.

If you want to harm me, I will kill you.

You killed my parents, and I want to kill you even more!

Xu Qing raised his head from his lowered position and looked at Jun Cheng above with clear eyes.

It just so happened that at this moment, Jun Cheng finished telling the history of all races and was looking at the leaders of this generation of humans in the hall. He glanced at everyone and saw Xu Qing.

The two looked at each other.

Jun Cheng nodded.

"Next, I will explain to you how to rely on vegetation to save yourself in a desperate situation. Of course, there are some limitations. That is, the desperate situation you are in contains vegetation."

"This is actually common. The amount of vegetation on Wanggu Continent exceeds that of all races themselves."

"If you can stand at an absolute height and look down at the entire Wanggu, you will find that after all races are wiped out, Wanggu will not seem to have changed much. But if all the vegetation is wiped out, the changes in Wanggu in your eyes will be different. Extremely obvious.”

The Jun Cheng's voice was hoarse. Against the background of his vicissitudes of life, this voice seemed to contain the passage of time and slowly spread into everyone's hearts.

"I will not teach you the specific methods. You need to figure this out on your own after class. I will only teach you a framework. This is also the direction of my research over the years."

"That is... changing the characteristics of a plant. For example, turning a mortal plant into a medicinal herb, turning a spiritual plant into a poisonous plant, or turning a poisonous plant into a spiritual plant. These will put you in crisis. In this environment, there is one more way to save yourself.”…

Xu Qing was thoughtful. He had thought about this direction before.

According to Master Bai, through the secondary harmonization of yin and yang, the picked herbs can be combined with other herbs according to different pharmacological properties to achieve changes.

However, this method still has some logical flaws. Some herbs cannot be changed by Yin and Yang Level 2.

While Xu Qing was thinking, others were also thinking.

Although the people here are ordinary in their knowledge of vegetation, they still have some skills. After all, in this world, elixirs are indispensable.

Jun Cheng looked at everyone with a smile, then waved his hand and took out a flowerpot with a small red flower growing in it.

This flower has green branches and leaves, red flowers, three petals, and many small petals of fish scales. When put together, it is full of magical meaning.

"Red Phosphorus Flower."

Xu Qing recognized it at a glance. It was a highly poisonous flower. It was rare in quantity and could not be changed by Yin and Yang Level 2.

"Watch it."

Jun Cheng raised his hand and took a small bottle, poured the liquid inside into the soil, then observed the changes in the red scales, and filled in different medicinal liquids.

After doing this, he raised his hands and waved, and suddenly the strong cultivation power spread out and blessed the flower disk, so that the medicinal liquid seeping into the soil was quickly absorbed by the red phosphorus flower.

Gradually, a magical scene appeared.

The color of the red-scaled flower slowly changed to white, and a fragrance spread out in all directions.

Everyone in the hall was surprised, and Xu Qing was even more shocked.

This scene is simple to watch, but the more you understand it, the more shocking it becomes.

Xu Qing knew very well that the yin and yang secondary method could not change the red scale flower, but now the method used by Jun Cheng actually did this, which made Xu Qing's eyes shine with a strong light.

"Do you understand?"

"If you want to change the state of a medicinal herb, you don't need to make drastic changes, nor do you need to remove the yin and yang to reconcile the external transformation after picking. In my opinion, what is needed is to be silent."

"Unknowingly, you change the environment it lives in, change the nutrients it needs, and let it slowly absorb it without knowing it, affecting it from the inside."

"To be precise, it's not me that changes its state, but its own power that changes the state of its body. Mine is just to create an environment and nutrients that guide its direction."

Jun Cheng spoke with a smile, his eyes encouraging, looking at the people in the hall who were deep in thought.

"This is the framework I teach you. Based on this, you will get twice the result with half the effort by looking at the Tao of Grass and Trees."

"I will explain this knowledge to you every day for the next seven days. If you can't master it after seven days, you can use your military merit and come to the County Cheng Mansion to learn from me."

After saying that, Jun Cheng stood up and walked out.

Everyone in the hall was solemn and bowed to the county magistrate.

The same goes for Xu Qing. This class was a great inspiration to him.

As Jun Cheng left, today's class ended and everyone walked out of the hall.

At this moment, dusk has passed outside and the bright moon has risen.

The moonlight is beautiful today, the sky is cloudless, and the moonlight is as bright as the Milky Way.

Xu Qing, who left with the captain to return to the branch sect, had just left the hall when Kong Xianglong's hearty voice came from behind. …

"Xu Qing."

We will all be comrades in arms from now on. I want to invite you to drink. I won’t beat around the bush. I want to make friends with you. ""My fellow student Xiao Fa is also curious about you. You have just arrived in the county capital and may not know much about the Sword Holding Palace. I will explain it to you later. ""what do you think? "

When Xu Qing heard this, he paused and looked back at Kong Xianglong, who was walking towards him. He had a sincere face and even more so a smile, followed by Shan Hezi and others.

Xu Qing hesitated. He was sincerely invited by the other party, and he did intend to get to know more about the traffic controller, but it seemed that the other party didn't like the captain.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, if you don't have time..."

Kong Xianglong seems careless, but that's just because of his personality. He's just too lazy to use his brain, but it doesn't mean he's stupid. At this moment, he can naturally see the reason for Xu Qing's hesitation.

So he suppressed his guard against Chen Erniu and spoke calmly.

"Have time!"

The captain coughed, very satisfied with how Xu Qing took care of him.

Xu Yigan nodded.

Kong Xianglong didn't care too much about whether there was an extra person. Hearing this, he laughed at Xu Qing. When the group was about to leave, Ye Ling grabbed Qingqiu who was about to leave.

Qingqiu has no choice but to go together.

In this way, the seven of them flew out of the Sword Holding Palace like a small group.

Behind them, Zhang Siyun walked out of the Hall of Knowledge. Looking at this scene, he snorted and left alone.

Kong Xianglong and others have grown up in the county capital since childhood, and are naturally familiar with places to drink wine, but they chose an ordinary wine shop instead of a luxurious place.

There was a lot of food inside, and the owner was an old couple. They were obviously familiar with Kong Xianglong and others. When they came out with the dishes, they immediately smiled when they saw them.

"Xiao Kong is here. Do you have new friends this time?"

"Uncle Zhou and Aunt Cai."

After Kong Xianglong arrived, he quickly ran over to take the dishes and helped them to the table next door. The diners on that table were not afraid when they saw the sword-wielding group and laughed and joked.

"Xiao Kong is here to help again?"

"That is, drinking while doing odd jobs."

Kong Xianglong smiled, put down the dish, took some wine and walked towards Xu Qing.

Why are you standing? Sit down. The wine here is made by me, without any water added. "

Kong Xianglong took everyone with him, found a table, sat down, put down the wine, and looked like a shopkeeper.

Qingqiu looked very strange at this scene, Xu Qing also glanced at Kong Xianglong a few more times, and the captain looked like he had known about it for a long time.

Just as Kong Xianglong was about to speak, the diners at another table shouted to pay. He quickly got up and ran over. His movements were very skillful, and he seemed to be a different person from the one who walked around in the Sword Palace that day. "Brother Kong has been poor since he was a child. He worked as a handyman in the Sword Holding Palace when he was a child. At that time, he also worked several small jobs outside to earn spiritual coins." Ye Ling glanced at Xu Qing and others and explained. "He worked as a waiter in this wine shop for three years. After practicing cultivation, he resigned when he had to go out to work a lot. But every time we get together, we will choose this place because Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou are very good to him." "Brother Kong is a nostalgic person. People." Shanhezi was standing by, his expression instinctively remained gloomy, and he spoke coldly.

Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the busy Kong Xianglong. He had never met such a person since he was a child. …

Soon Kong Xianglong ran back, sat down, picked up the wine bottle, and laughed at everyone. "I'm happy today. I met new friends. Come on, brothers, let's go one by one!"

Shan Hezi and others raised the jug. Xu Qing, the captain and Qingqiu also picked up the jug. After everyone looked at each other, they drank together.

They were all young people and drank quickly. Although alcohol was nothing to a monk, it could still liven up the atmosphere, especially Kong Xianglong's hearty laugh and enthusiasm.

Under his promotion, the atmosphere gradually became less monotonous than it was at the beginning.

Kong Xianglong's boldness can also be seen in his drinking. He is obviously a drinker like Wang Heping, drinking one bottle after another.

Slowly, Xu Qing and Qingqiu also relaxed, but they still disliked each other and ignored each other.

As for the captain, he is a familiar person and keeps drinking with Shan Hezi and others. "Xiao He, Ye Ling and Wang Chen, I know you three are not convinced by Xu Qing's statement that the emperor appointed you, but I tell you, the most taboo thing among the geniuses of our human race is jealousy. Today's history of the human race, you also I heard that our human race is not as strong as it used to be. If we are still in the inner half, the future will be worrying. "I don't care what you do, but here at Xu Qing, I am convinced. Wan Zhang is Wan Zhang." Kong Xianglong sighed at his words. , Shanhezi and the three others also relaxed a little, and tried to contact Xu Qing and others, but they were obviously very wary of the captain and could not dissipate for a while.

In this way, after three drinks, when the dishes were served, Kong Xianglong looked at Xu Qing with a smile. "Xu Qing, you haven't comprehended the Imperial Sword yet, and so has Little Ye Ling. I succeeded in comprehending it last year, so I just want to share some of my experience with you."

Xu Qing was a little moved when he heard this. This kind of enlightenment experience is extremely precious. Generally speaking, few people will tell it. The captain was also surprised in his heart, and Qingqiu even raised his head. "What expressions you are showing are just the experience of realizing the Human Emperor Sword."

Kong Xianglong laughed.

Wang Chen, who had always said very little, now spoke softly. "Brother Kong's character is like this. My life lamp was given to me by him." "Your life lamp was not given to me by me, but I grabbed it with you."

Kong Xianglong's big hand patted Wang Chen's shoulder and passed directly through. "Brother Kong, I am at a critical moment in my practice..."

Kong Xianglong smiled. Instead of going to the dark side, he introduced the Emperor Sword experience to Xu Qing and others.

Time passed slowly like this, and the group of them drank more and more, especially the captain who brought out some spiritual wine brewed by Qixuetong. This kind of wine is not allowed to be drunk as it will cause drunkenness.

But for monks, it is a fine wine.

This made Kong Xianglong feel better about the captain.

So in the end, even though they were monks, everyone was still a little drunk. Because no one uses cultivation to dissipate the smell of alcohol.

Naturally, there were more words. During this period, Shanhezi was no longer gloomy. Instead, he cursed the Yao family and expressed his extreme dissatisfaction with the Yao family for being close to foreigners.

They also mentioned the county governor and the county magistrate. The former they sighed and lamented that they only knew people and benefited the county capital.

Finally, the captain even had a drinking competition with Kong Xianglong, which made the atmosphere lively to the extreme.

It wasn't until the third watch of the moon that everyone left the wine shop and went their separate ways. …

This time the party did not allow them to become friends immediately, but they also became somewhat familiar with each other.

On the way back to the branch, the captain put his arms around Xu Qing's neck, looking at the mountains and rivers and looking at the world. "I'm telling you, little Ah Qing, these people don't have the ability to drink well. Your senior brother and I have just come up with a real thing. That Kong Xianglong is even worse. He can't drink me!"

Xu Qing smiled and nodded in agreement. A night of silence.

In the next six days, the classes in the Hall of Knowledge continued. Their batch of new sword wielders learned a lot of secret sword wielding techniques and gained more knowledge.

The Central Sword Holding Palace also organizes group assistance courses.

Under the arrangement of the Sword-bearing Palace, the courses are held in some palaces of the Sword-bearing Palace, but everything inside is transformed into a space of its own. Under this continuous grouping, everyone gradually became familiar from strangers.

Once Xu Qing and Qingqiu were assigned to level one, and they completed an ambush test together. Although they both had cold faces, their invisible cooperation was very tacit, which made Qingqiu feel disgusted for a long time.

Another time, Kong Xianglong and the captain became the first level to carry out search cooperation.

But it failed.

Because of the item they were searching for, the captain couldn't help but take a bite.

After that time, Kong Xianglong secretly reminded Shan Hezi and others. Let them Xiao Chen Erniu. "That guy has a dog's nose. He relies on instinct to search for things. His eyes will shine, and he even likes to take a bite. If you go on a mission with him in the future, be sure to pay attention to the mission items!"

Just like that, seven days passed by in a flash, and the secret training ended.

It has to be said that the seven days of secret training in the Sword Holding Palace are very useful. Seven days ago, everyone was mostly strangers to each other, but after seven days, in addition to familiarity, there is more friendship.

Although it is not deep, it is a seed.

Become the seed of a comrade.

Except of course Zhang Siyun.

When everyone was participating in the final assessment of the secret training, Xu Qing received the appointment order and was told that there was no need for assessment and that he should report to the palace master immediately.

The palace owner is not in the Sword Holding Palace.

He is in the Prison Department.

This is the responsibility of the masters of the Sword-holding Palace in Fenghai County in the past dynasties, guarding the Prison Department.

So Xu Qing left the Hall of Knowledge, took the appointment order, and headed towards the No. 1 Prison of Fenghai County in Dadi.
