Outside of Time

Hearing the message from the ancestor of the King Kong Sect, Xu Qing looked up at the palace in the distance, thoughtfully, then looked at the captain, and found that the excitement on the captain's face and eyes seemed to be overflowing.

This is not the same as the madness when facing babies in the past.

"Last time I was there with You Jing, the senior brother was the same way. He seemed to have a strong obsession with taking away the female cultivator's belongings."

Xu Qing was surprised and couldn't help but ask.

When the captain heard this, he smiled proudly.

"You don't understand. Let me tell you, little Aqing, this is my experience. Female nuns have the most treasures around them. The more excellent and beautiful the female nuns are, the more so. Countless people are rushing to give gifts. I am the first few I have seen many similar scenes in my life.”

"Remember the Youjing place, isn't it like this? There are countless treasures."

The countless treasures in Youjing Cave came to Xu Qing's mind, and he was convinced.

"I feel very shameless about giving gifts to please those female nuns, so I secretly vowed before that I would help these female nuns and share the pressure of giving gifts."

"Little Ah Qing, what is the most important thing for us as human beings? It is to be kind and help others! So our behavior is kind!"

The captain spoke with sincerity and sincerity.

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment. Although he felt a little strange, the captain's tone and expression were very determined and seemed to make sense.

"You are still too young. You are right to listen to me. I am your senior brother. I can still trick you."

The captain patted Xu Qing's shoulder.

"Let's go, we still have at least three days. After the third batch arrives, it will probably be when the red moon wakes up. Let's try to get some good things in these three days. Now let's go see what treasures there are in this palace."

The captain licked his lips and called Xu Qing to join him. The two of them held their severed hands and approached the palace in the shape of a phoenix bird in front of them.

Because Hongyue could wake up at any time, Xu Qing did not continue to ask questions and moved forward at full speed.

In this way, the severed hand moved rapidly on the flesh and blood ground, getting closer and closer to the Phoenix Palace in front, until a moment later, the severed hand suddenly stopped.

Xu Qing and the captain felt a sense of danger coming from the front at the same time.

Looking through the fingers of the severed hand, one can see a city wall of flesh and blood in front of it, surrounding it in a circle, separating the inside and outside.

The area within the flesh-and-blood city wall is quite large, with a total of nine Phoenix Palaces inside.

There are no guardian statues, and even the roars of strange beasts are weaker than elsewhere.

"It's too quiet." Xu Qing whispered.

"Something's wrong." The captain nodded.

The two looked at each other, and Xu Qing immediately gave orders to the shadow. In an instant, the shadow under him spread forward to explore, and the captain raised his hand and bit off a finger.

After spitting it out, the finger turned into a crystal worm and rushed forward.

Xu Qing was not surprised by this. He had seen the captain do this many times along the way.

This is their own exploration technique. Working together, they can find the source of the crisis in many directions and avoid danger.

In this way, time passed little by little, and when Xu Qing's shadow got closer to the city wall outside Fengniao Palace, the worm transformed from the captain's finger had penetrated into the flesh and blood city wall from another direction.

He jumped over, but in an instant, a purple light shone.

The body of the crystal worm paused in mid-air, as if an invisible sharp blade appeared, dividing it into several parts.

This worm has a strong vitality. Even if it is torn apart, it quickly turns into a separate individual and continues to rush forward. However, the layout here is not the same. Soon, the power of the ban bursts out, turning into several worms in an instant, and directly Destroyed and turned into ashes one by one.

And was driven away by a force of exclusion.

These are nothing. After the captain's worms were wiped out, there was still a sealing power that erupted from within and directly enveloped the place where the worms dissipated.

The nothingness there was distorted, and an eye emerged from its transparent state, and was suppressed and shattered in an instant.

The captain groaned, spit out a mouthful of blood, and frowned.

"How come there is still the power to restrain Fengzheng here, little Aqing, this palace is not simple!"

At this moment, Xu Qing's investigation also encountered obstacles. As soon as his shadow spread into the flesh and blood city wall, a scream came from the shadow, and its body was cut off.

But the shadow is also ferocious. Even if it is cut off, the part that remains within the flesh and blood city wall will explode rapidly and turn into countless copies. It will spread in all directions with all its strength to explore a large area.

But this behavior seemed to trigger a deeper restriction here. In the next moment, all directions within the flesh-and-blood city wall were blurred, and a terrifying wave swept across from within, erupting rumblingly towards the surroundings.

There was even more purple light shining inside. Wherever it passed, it was cut off and turned into countless shadows. They all let out shrill screams and were all destroyed and directly obliterated.

It is even spreading outwards, trying to trace its origins.

Looking around, the purple light was bright and radiating outwards. It was even colder and invaded all directions faster than the purple light.

Coming.

Xu Qing and the captain's expressions changed as they felt the coldness, and the purple light in front of them covered all the world in their eyes, turning into a rich black, making their eyesight go dark.

The two were about to dodge at this moment, but at this moment, the purple light paused for some reason and rolled back, making the world in Xu Qing and the captain's eyes bright again.

Outside the flesh-and-blood city wall, the remaining part of the shadow escaped, rolled back quickly, and shivered when it returned to Xu Qing, conveying feelings of grievance and panic to Xu Qing.

"I'm afraid... that I won't be able to... go in."

Xu Qing's expression was strange at the moment, staring at the courtyard covered by the flesh-and-blood city wall in front of him, with huge waves rising in his heart and some incredulity in his eyes.

The captain on the side was breathing heavily.

"Junior brother, I'm in a bit of trouble. I don't know who lived here back then. It's very hard on me, especially that purple light just now..."

Before the captain could finish speaking, Xu Qing suddenly interrupted.

"Senior Brother, I think this place... looks familiar. Did you hear it just now?"

The captain was stunned and looked at Xu Qing.

"Looks familiar? What did you hear?"

"In that purple light, there was a sigh just now." Xu Qing said softly.

The captain's expression changed, he grabbed Xu Qing's arm and spoke solemnly.

"Junior brother, in this world, the understanding of each race is not comprehensive. After the arrival of the remnant face of the gods, too many unknown strange and terrifying things appeared. The gods are part of it, and there are other indescribable existences. Don't look at it. I'm crazy, but in fact, every big thing I took you to do was information and clues that I had prepared for a long time in advance, but this Immortal Forbidden City is different."

"I don't understand this, so generally speaking, when you encounter something like this that only you can hear and no one else can, it usually represents the ultimate danger. Especially since I'm special, I didn't even hear it. Here... There's a big problem."

The captain looked solemn.

"We won't go in here yet. We will wait outside until the god dies, and then we will decide whether to explore based on the situation."

This sentence is extremely rare to come from the captain's mouth.

And having the captains choose to give up their fat temporarily also shows that this place is unusual.

Xu Qing nodded and was about to leave with the captain, but when his peripheral vision swept over the area, his body suddenly shook. What he saw in his eyes was that a figure vaguely appeared in the purple light in the courtyard covered with flesh and blood.

That's a woman.

Wearing a long purple dress, she looked like a blooming violet in the dim light. She was as gorgeous as ever. At the same time, she stood there alone, looking at Xu Qing silently.

The familiar gaze made Xu Qing feel shocked.

"Little junior brother!"

The captain noticed that Xu Qing was dazed, his expression changed, and he pulled Xu Qing hard.

Xu Qing's body trembled, and he looked at the captain, then turned to look at the place where the familiar figure was. There was nothing there at the moment, and the purple figure disappeared.

Even the entire area covered by the flesh-and-blood city wall began to blur at this moment, vaguely seeming to be decaying or no longer existing.

This scene is not a special case. In fact, it is not just the case here. Xu Qing and the captain have seen similar things more than once along the way.

It was as if after the ancient seal was opened, the outside atmosphere poured in, affecting the environment here. Everything that should not have existed for such a long time began to return to its origin and turn into nothingness.

Xu Qing looked a little confused and murmured in a low voice.

"Elder brother, have you seen her?"

Seeing Xu Qing like this, the captain became anxious, but he didn't see anything.

"Junior brother, let's not explore anymore. Let's go back. Let's go back now. Something's wrong with you!"

"Elder brother, I'm fine."

Xu Qing said softly.

He looked at the land that was decaying and gradually blurring, recalling everything he had felt, heard, and seen before, and felt that his own heaven had no warning of a crisis in this place, so he suddenly spoke.

"Elder brother, do me a favor."

"What are you going to do!" The captain had a premonition and his expression changed.

"The place is about to decay and dissipate. When the gods fall, it should also be completely decayed... So, I want to go in and take a look now, and you can meet me outside."

"I refuse!" The captain shook his head.

"If you don't go in and take a look, I will be deeply confused. Besides, my heavenly law has no warning about the inside. It should be safe." Xu Qing stared at the captain.

After a while, the captain sighed.

"Together we will!"

"Elder brother, the power there is restraining you. Although it is dissipating now, it still has a considerable impact on you. Besides, if we are together, I can't get in."

After a few words of persuasion from Xu Qing, the captain reluctantly agreed, so Xu Qing took a deep breath and her body suddenly merged into the severed hand.

There was a restriction there and it was impossible to enter normally, so Xu Qing's idea was to integrate himself into the severed hand and let the captain outside to throw the severed hand in.

In this way, Xu Qing is in Duan's hand, which means he has entered.

If that area would not dissipate and decay, Xu Qing would wait for a safer time to enter, but now it was too late, and the doubts in his heart were deep.

Because that figure is the Supreme Immortal Zixuan who should never appear here.

Seeing Xu Qing merge into the severed hand, the captain gritted his teeth, raised his hands to grab it, swung it with all his strength, and threw it directly towards the dissipated flesh and blood city wall.

In an instant, the severed hand roared, drew an arc, and headed straight ahead.

The moment he entered the flesh-and-blood city wall, the restriction here broke out again, sweeping through it several times. However, the severed hand itself was extremely strong. Although the skin was torn and the bones were exposed in some places, it was still intact after all. It fell into the yard, quickly. heal.

Soon, the palm of the severed hand opened wide, and Xu Qing walked out.

Stare around.

At this moment, among the nine phoenix palaces in the area that were dissipating and decaying, the one in the middle suddenly emitted purple light.

At the same time, a similar light emanated from Xu Qing's storage bag, and then a jade slip flew out on its own and floated in front of Xu Qing.

This jade slip was given to Xu Qing by Zixuan before she left, and it contains her power of protection.

After appearing at this moment, the light was bright, reflecting the light of the palace in the middle.

At the same time, a vague figure appeared in the purple light spreading in the palace, floating in the air, staring into the distance.

Xu Qing felt waves in his heart.

That figure is none other than Zixuan!

But now in this area, looking at it from a close distance, there are still some differences between the other party and Zixuan in Xu Qing's memory, not in appearance, but in temperament.

It seems that the figure in front of him is colder, as if there is not much emotion contained in it.

Xu Qing was silent, and after a long time, he stepped forward.

As he got closer, all the restrictions here seemed to give way to him, allowing Xu Qing to successfully walk to the center of Fengniao Palace. Standing there, he took a deep breath, raised his hand and pushed away the palace that had never been seen in these endless years. The opened palace door.

The door opened silently, and a dark hall came into Xu Qing's eyes.

There were no lights in the hall, and everything was dim. Even if the dim light from outside shone through the open door, it could not dissipate the darkness in the hall.

After Xu Qing stood there for a long time, he adapted to the darkness here and saw the environment of the hall.

The entire hall was empty, without any seats. There was only a statue standing in the middle, and the surroundings were empty, revealing endless silence.

As you can imagine, when the door of the main hall is closed, this place is no different from a prison.

Only that statue stands forever.

This statue is of a woman, she is not Zixuan.

But her appearance is also beautiful and graceful. She seems to have aged a bit and has not deliberately changed her aging, so you can see some fishtail-like wrinkles in the corners of her eyes.

His expression is smiling, containing gentleness, and his eyes made of gemstones seem to exude compassion. After looking at it, people will instinctively feel comfortable.

In his hand, he held a lamp and placed it in his arms, like the most precious treasure.

This lamp is very special. It is made of purple stone and looks like a blooming redbud flower. There is also a purple phoenix perched on it, with its wings spread out, lifelike.

The moment he saw this lamp, Xu Qing's breathing quickened slightly.

This is a life lamp, or to be precise, it is a lamp sculpture based on the life lamp.

Xu Qing had never seen it before, but he felt familiar in his heart. The source of that familiarity came from the dream that Master Zixuan once told him.

"I often have a dream, for many years... In the dream, there is a dark world with a light."

"It is extinguished, has no firelight, cannot be touched, cannot be touched. It seems very far away, but also very close."

"But I imagined it would look like a redbud in full bloom, with a purple phoenix perched on it, its wings spread out as if in full bloom."

"This light has always appeared in my dreams, and every time it was extinguished. Every time, there was no light in that world."

Xu Qing looked a little dazed.

In the past, he thought this was just a dream mentioned by the Immortal Zixuan, until he saw Zixuan's figure outside, and until now, he saw this lamp sculpture.

Xu Qing didn't know where the real lamp of life was. It might be in the Holy Land, or it might have disappeared over the years.

"Zixuan, why did you dream about this lamp, and why did her figure appear in the purple light outside..."

"What kind of cause and effect exists between her and this lamp..."

While Xu Qing was murmuring in her heart, Zixuan's figure appeared silently beside the statue in the dark hall. She stared at the statue with admiration and even bitterness in her eyes.

Then he turned his head and looked at Xu Qing. There were some waves in his cold eyes, and he opened his mouth as if to say something.

Xu Qing couldn't hear it. He only saw Zixuan's expression change after he finished speaking, with some sadness appearing, and he kept retreating. A vague figure came from behind Xu Qing, entered the hall, and penetrated His body.

This scene shocked Xu Qing. He turned around suddenly and quickly turned to look at the figure that penetrated from him to the front.

It was a tall young man, wearing the royal robe of a four-clawed golden dragon and a nine-bead imperial crown. There was no aura coming out, but at a glance, it was like seeing the strong power of heaven.

He turned his back to Xu Qing and stood in front of Zixuan, not knowing what he said.

Zixuan cried, looking up at the outside world, with deep nostalgia and sadness in her eyes. Through the pupils of her eyes, Xu Qing vaguely saw that what was reflected in them was the collapsed sky and a huge The broken face is coming from the sky.

This scene made Xu Qing immediately realize that what he saw now was not real.

It’s more like a picture of the past!

Just like before, Zixuan seemed to be looking at himself, but in fact, he was looking in the direction where he was.

At this moment, in Xu Qing's eyes, Zixuan kept shaking his head and opening his mouth as if reprimanding. But from the beginning to the end, the figure in the royal robe was silent, just stretching out his hand, as if asking Zixuan to leave here with him. .

Zixuan's eyes showed determination and he shook his head again.

The young man in royal robes was silent for a long time, then took out a small purple bottle from his arms, walked gently to the statue, poured a few drops of liquid from the bottle into the purple lamp.

The liquid is transparent, like lamp oil.

After doing this, he put the small bottle of lamp oil aside, and then turned around silently, his expression filled with sadness and even a touch of pain.

And his appearance was also reflected in Xu Qing's eyes at this moment. He was very similar to Zixuan, and the two seemed like brothers and sisters.

He stepped towards the door of the hall, passed in front of Xu Qing, and walked farther and farther...

As he disappeared, the door of the hall slowly closed.

Zixuan next to the statue raised his head with a sad expression and squatted there leaning against the statue. Gradually, the entire hall fell into darkness.

And the light from the lamp carvings on the statue, even if there is lamp oil, will gradually dim in this darkness until it disappears completely.

Cold is coming.

Darkness replaced everything, only a sigh echoed and lingered for a long time.

Until the next moment, this piece of black suddenly disappeared and turned into purple light. After a pause in the air, it quickly rolled back towards the flesh-and-blood city wall compound in the distance.

As the purple light left, the coldness quickly dissipated, and everything in front of Xu Qing returned to normal.

The captain, beside Xu Qing, breathed rapidly and exclaimed.

"Junior brother, I'm in a bit of trouble. I don't know who lived here back then. It's very hard on me, especially that purple light just now..."

At the same time, outside the flesh-and-blood city wall in the distance, the shadow quickly rolled back, and after returning, it trembled at Xu Qing's feet, conveying emotions of grievance and panic.

"I'm afraid... that I won't be able to... go in."

Xu Qing frowned, stared at the courtyard with flesh-and-blood city walls in the distance, and suddenly spoke.

"Senior Brother, I think this place looks familiar. Did you hear it just now?"

"Look familiar? What did you hear?" The captain was stunned.

"There seemed to be a sigh in that purple light." Xu Qing said solemnly.

The captain's expression changed, and he was about to speak, but at this moment, five hundred miles away, a roar suddenly came from the safe area opened by the human army.

The distance was a bit far, and I couldn't see clearly. I could only feel the fluctuations of the earth faintly. At the same time, notifications were also delivered to their command swords.

"The third batch of arrivals has arrived. By the order of His Majesty the Seventh Highness, I inform the first batch of people who arrived here that you have paid a lot for the Immortal Forbidden Plan in these seven days, and there may be changes here next. First Those who arrive in the first batch can leave voluntarily within the next three hours, and those who arrive in the second batch can only leave after seven days, and so on. "

Xu Qing and the captain looked at each other after checking the command sword. Naturally, they would not leave like this, so they put away the command sword, crouched in the severed hand, and continued to look at the flesh and blood city wall.

The captain was about to ask about Xu Qing's sigh just now, but before he could say anything, he was suddenly startled and looked at Xu Qing sharply.

Xu Qing also reacted and looked at the captain instantly.

"The third batch came so quickly?"

"I remember the second batch just arrived..."

The pupils of both of them shrank, and they quickly took out their command swords and carefully checked the content. Finally, when they found the word "seven days", their minds were stirred up.

"Seven days?" The captain narrowed his eyes.

"When we approached here before, it was the fourth day, the day when the second batch of descendants arrived." Xu Qing was extremely solemn.

"In our perception, the time has just passed by about one stick of incense, but from the perspective of Lingjian, it has been three days!"

The captain's eyes showed a faint light.

"What have we done in the past three days?"

Xu Qing looked ugly. Looking at the flesh-and-blood city wall in front of him and the nine phoenix palaces inside, he felt vaguely that he seemed to have forgotten something, and the familiarity of that area was the same as before.

He had had a similar experience in Ding 132, but it seemed to be different from here.

But no matter what, he immediately used the power of Ding 132 Heavenly Palace to permeate his whole body.

The captain also looked gloomy, with faces appearing in his eyes and a cold aura exuding from his body. Together with Xu Qing, he looked at the flesh-and-blood city wall.

The two were silent for a long time, but still did not continue to approach, but chose to retreat.

But as they retreated, the nine Phoenix Bird Halls within the flesh-and-blood city wall began to decay and dissipate. This scene made Xu Qing and the captain pause.

Decay and dissipation are also a matter of time.

Their eyes revealed a ghostly light. If they took a few steps forward, the palace's decay would reverse. If they continued to retreat, the palace would continue to decay.

Thousands of feet away, the nine Phoenix Bird Halls within the flesh-and-blood city wall have decayed and dissipated over the years. Only the palace in the middle has a broken statue.

The passage was so severe that one could not clearly see its appearance, male or female, or arms, only a broken sculpture.

Next to it, there is a purple vial, which is very conspicuous in this ruins.

——

I was typing while drinking alone, but I didn’t expect that I got drunk...

Damn... I'm feeling very happy right now. What do you want to do?
