Outside of Time

Outside Yinghuangzhou, the black forbidden sea is undulating with waves, and the thick foreignness turns into a cold atmosphere, corroding all the people on the sea. Even if the midday sun emits scorching heat, it cannot melt the foreignness. Sudden

It doesn't even shine into the mysterious depths of the sea.

This is why, for countless years, there have been many legends about the Forbidden Sea, especially stories about divine creatures.

Only the wealthy families or high-level monks at sea know that although those divine creatures are powerful, they are not invincible.

And the gods in this world are not the only one with a broken face, so... the most terrifying thing in the depths of the Forbidden Sea is not the divine creature, but the sleeping god.

Gods can sleep on the sun and moon, inhabit immortal palaces, and exist in ominous places. Therefore, this forbidden sea surrounding the ancient continent is naturally the choice for gods to hibernate.

Especially...the Forbidden Sea is too big.

Just the sea area between Yinghuangzhou and Nanhuangzhou is extremely vast, let alone the area beyond Nanhuangzhou. Sudden

In fact, even the sea area where Nanhuang Continent is located can only be regarded as offshore compared with the entire forbidden sea.

The former name of the Forbidden Sea was called the Endless Sea, which already revealed its scope.

It seems to be a world of its own, confronting the continent and the sky.

At this moment, outside Yinghuangzhou, the waves were rolling, and above the sky, a large black ship was roaring forward.

This is Qi Ye's big wing, which Qing is allowed to use in Fenghai County.

As for the big wing, there is no need to control it personally. As long as the power source is sufficient and the authority is granted, anyone can control it in a short time.

Traveling with Xu Qing were a thousand sword-wielders from the county capital and Taoist people from Sinan, as well as Qingqin, who was soaring in the higher sky. Sudden

Under the sound of rattling, the birds in the sky did not dare to rise to a comfortable height. They could only choose to fly low, sometimes rush into the sea, catch the prey, and return quickly.

It is precisely because of this that many plesiosaurs are attracted. They often burst out of the water in an instant, bite low-flying birds, and fall into the sea with a roar, causing even bigger waves.

Xu Qing stood on the balcony of the big wing, his eyes fell on the sea, watching the big waves caused by a plesiosaur, he thought of the scene when he went to sea for the first time.

After a long time, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and looked at the fish bone thorn in his hand.

Under the sunlight, this black thorn seemed to have become a black hole. While absorbing the light, the fluctuations emitted from it were even more astonishing.

Many sword holders outside the tower had solemn expressions after sensing it. Only Xu Qing, because of his physical body, felt a sense of coercion when holding it in his hand, but it had more of a homologous meaning.

At this moment, staring at the Thorn of Doom, Xu Qing's eyes showed thoughts, and after a while, he suddenly spoke. Sudden

"Youlingzi."

In an instant, the black iron sign flew out of Xu Qing's storage bag and floated in front of Xu Qing. While trembling, the figure of the ancestor of the Diamond Sect was revealed on it, paying his respects to Xu Qing.

"My lord!"

The ancestor of the King Kong Sect was extremely nervous and anxious at this moment. He had a strong sense of impending disaster, his voice was trembling, and his heart was filled with despair.

He always felt that as long as he didn't work hard, he would be killed by Xu Qing. This idea came from his character and was deeply ingrained, so every time Xu Qing's cultivation improved, he was actually frightened.

But today, the appearance of the fish bone let him know that what was supposed to come was finally coming.

Although I tried my best, I still couldn't keep up with Xu Qing's footsteps. Sudden

It's not that he didn't work hard, it was just that the other party moved too fast.

"Lord, I am already prepared. In all the story books I have read in my life, all the protagonists in them have advanced rapidly, and it is difficult for ordinary people to accompany them throughout their lives."

"This further proves that, Lord, you are just like the protagonist of the story."

"But I understand that I can't hold you back. I don't ask for anything else. I just ask the Lord to give you happiness for your hard work these past few years."

"If there is an afterlife, I will definitely follow my Lord again, ride the horse for you, and watch you reach the top of the world."

The ancestor of the King Kong Sect had a face filled with sadness. Even at this moment, he still looked at Xu Qing with a look of loyalty. This was the only chance he thought he had to save himself...

He knew that he knew too many secrets, and if he were Xu Qing, he would also have murderous intentions, so he tried hard to impress Xu Qing and make Xu Qing put away his murderous thoughts in view of the hard work. Sudden

If you can be soft-hearted and let go of yourself on impulse, then it will be completely perfect.

Xu Qing gave the King Kong Sect ancestor a meaningful look.

He didn't feel the other party's loyalty, but he saw the actual actions of the King Kong Sect ancestors over the years, which helped him a lot.

The grudges of the past can also be resolved.

After all, the iron sign is no longer enough to support one's own cultivation. Even if it has been sacrificed once, compared with the fish bone, the level gap is not small.

So today, Xu Qing originally planned to unlock the seal for the other party, let him go, and understand the cause and effect. As for the secret, he had other means to guard against it.

But the words of the King Kong Sect ancestor made Xu Qing think about it for a while, then he took back what he was about to say, with a deep thought in his eyes. He thought that he might be able to give the other party a chance. Sudden

While the ancestor of the King Kong Sect was nervous, he was also secretly relieved.

He felt that his words had an effect. The evil star in front of him was finally moved by him. The deep groan in his eyes at this moment was the evidence. The other party was weighing whether his hard work could be deducted from his death.

"It's too difficult. I just want to be free and live. Why is it so difficult?"

When the ancestor of the King Kong Sect became more and more sad and angry, Xu Qing's eyes flashed with determination, and when he raised his right hand to make a seal, a flame suddenly rose up, covering the iron sign in an instant.

Burning iron sticks requires refining them.

The ancestor of the King Kong Sect was shocked.

"Lord, I..." Sui

"I'll give you a chance, please bear with it." Xu Qing spoke in a low voice and made a hand seal with his hands. Suddenly, the twelve Nascent Souls opened their eyes at the same time and spit out life fire.

Five more life lamps are revealed, blessing the flame.

In an instant, under the wailing of the ancestor of the King Kong Sect, the iron sign that merged with his two thunder tribulations began to melt and gradually turned into molten iron.

This molten iron is actually the essence of the ancestor of the Vajra Sect.

The screams of the ancestor of the King Kong Sect became more and more pitiful. The frightened Xiaoying kept twisting and trembling, and quickly tried to please Ling'er who was watching all this.

In this way, as time passed, the wailing of the ancestor of the Vajra Sect became weaker and weaker, until when it was almost inaudible, the iron sign completely melted into red molten iron.

Xu Qing made a gesture with both hands, and the red molten iron suddenly turned into threads and went straight to the fish bones. They did not blend into them, but flowed into the lines of the fish bones. Sudden

At the same time, Xu Qing mobilized the divine energy in his body, and his body emitted fluctuations, blessing him during this filling.

Finally, when the temperature of the molten iron dropped and solidified, it was completely embedded in the fish bones.

The appearance of the fish bones has changed drastically.

With a black base and red lines, a stronger murderous aura circulates inside.

The ancestor of the King Kong Sect, as a weapon spirit, was also indirectly half-fused into the fish bone through this method.

Compared with fish bones, its existence is too different, so it is impossible to become the weapon spirit of the Thorn of Doom through normal methods. Only by using this method of inlaying the coat can it indirectly control the Thorn of Doom.

Although it is impossible to be flexible, with Xu Qing's assistance, he can kill enemies on his own, which is much better than before without the weapon spirit. Sudden

And being infected by the divine fish spine all the time, the state of the ancestor of the Vajra Sect will also gradually change.

In this way, maybe one day, the ancestor of the King Kong Sect can transform and become a divine weapon spirit.

It's just that in this process, the pain is much more intense than before. After all, this kind of transformation is equivalent to slowly being reborn. The torture is difficult to describe.

And it also needs to be immortal in the future and not be swallowed up...

All this made the ancestor of the King Kong Sect a little dazed. It felt all this, and after feeling confused in its heart, there was also joy. Although the process was painful, and it was difficult to say whether it would live or die in the future, at least he had survived today's disaster.

"Fortunately, I'm smart, otherwise I would have failed today!"

The ancestor of the King Kong Sect felt happy in his heart, and just when he was about to speak, Xu Qing's eyes showed encouragement and he spoke out words. Sudden

"You Lingzi, originally I planned to give you freedom, but since you want to follow me forever, I will help you this time."

"ah?"

The ancestor of the King Kong Sect opened his eyes wide when he heard this, and then his heart felt huge, and his body trembled violently, but in the next moment, he suddenly reacted.

"This is a test of me. It's blowing me up. That's right. It's a test of my loyalty. It's so cunning."

Thinking of this, the ancestor of the King Kong Sect spoke loudly.

"Lord, since I, You Lingzi, have followed you, I have already understood a truth. Freedom is more important than freedom!"

"The happiness I have had in these years is unprecedented in my life. I am not willing to lose that sense of freedom. If I cannot follow you, I will be in great pain. Even thinking about it now, I feel heartbroken."

"Lord, I don't want freedom, I just want to follow you, because I long for freedom more than freedom."

The words of the ancestor of the Vajra Sect moved Ling'er. She looked at the ancestor of the Vajra Sect and whispered to Xu Qing.

"Brother Xu Qing, this old man is a good man."

Xu Qingmu had a deep meaning and did not explain it. After a few words of encouragement, he put away the fish bones and then lowered his head to look at the shadow at his feet.

The shadow was so frightened that he started to tremble, and his emotions were fluctuating rapidly.

"Breakthrough...immediately...Master, hello...Mistress, hello soon...I'm awesome...useful!"

"

The shadow was really scared. It had seen the explosion of the purple crystal before, and it couldn't escape even with the fingers of the gods, so it had long been desperate and just wanted to live well. Sudden

So at this moment of tension, I said everything I could express.

Xu Qing pondered. He had an idea in his heart that might speed up Shadow's breakthrough. He couldn't do it before, but now he is sure of it.

So Xu Qing stopped looking at the shadow, sat down cross-legged, and began to meditate.

He now has thirteen heavenly palaces, twelve of which have formed Nascent Souls and experienced a heavenly tribulation.

Only in the heavenly palace transformed by the Nether Spirit Blood Wing Lamp finally obtained, no Nascent Soul has appeared yet. However, with the help of other Nascent Souls, a siphon was formed, so that the Nascent Soul of this fifth lamp was also rapidly taking shape. middle.

"Soon."

Xu Qing murmured in his heart and closed his eyes to practice. Sudden

Time passed, and seven days later, Da Yi traveled across the ocean and finally arrived at Nanhuang Continent. From a distance, Xu Qing saw the Seven-blooded Boy who had lived with him for many years.

Compared with when I left, this place has not changed much. It is still prosperous and lively. When people come and go, you can see many boats of Seventh Peak disciples coming in and out of the port.

The seven peaks in the distance were brought to welcome Huangzhou, but now they have been reshaped. Everything is as usual, except that there are no bloody eyes on the top of the mountain.

The arrival of Da Yi aroused the emotions of everyone in the Seven Blood Boys. When countless people raised their heads and looked into the distance, Xu Qing failed to send a message to the second senior sister.

When he left the Eight Sects Alliance before, Master Qi saw him off and mentioned that the Second Senior Sister was in retreat to achieve a breakthrough.

So Xu Qing did not stop at the Seven-Blooded Boy. With his wings roaring, he left this place and moved quickly towards the east of Nanhuang Continent.

For Xu Qing, Nanhuang Continent was so big that he had to teleport wherever he went. But after experiencing so many things, Xu Qing looked at Nanhuang Continent again and understood why the Seventh Master said that Nanhuang Continent was a big place. Huangzhou is an island. Sudden

Compared with Wanggu Continent, Nanhuangzhou is indeed just an island.

With Da Yi's speed, Xu Qing arrived at the original scavenger camp in only half a day.

This place is still so dirty and messy, and Xu Qing is no longer familiar with many of the scavengers inside.

Those scavengers who wander between life and death, unless they are very lucky, will often spend a few years in a lifetime.

Xu Qing lowered his head at high altitude, staring at all this. After a while, he walked alone and stepped into the familiar but unfamiliar scavenger camp.

Walking inside, Xu Qing passed by scavengers and civil buildings. The fluctuations on his body were naturally hidden, making him forgotten in the eyes of ordinary people.

This is the ability of Ding Yi San Yuan Ying. Sudden

For monks, it will be more difficult to be forgotten by the influence, but in the scavenger camp, the ability to forget can erase everything.

Xu Qing walked silently, with a clear goal.

Not his former residence, but the blood-stained small street.

There is a grocery store there.

The shop is still there, but the owner is no longer the same as before.

At this moment, opposite the shop, under the eaves, a man in black robes was sitting.

The robe covered his thin body, and his face could not be seen clearly. All he could see was a huge devil's sickle being carried on his shoulders. Sudden

It is Qingqiu.

Around it, there were several corpses of scavengers that no one dared to take away. They were obviously people who didn't open their eyes to provoke them. After all, not everyone in this world has normal thinking.

It is precisely because of the existence of Qingqiu that this small street is very quiet. All the shop owners are trembling and dare not speak.

And she has obviously been here for some time, maybe to investigate some clues, or maybe because she can't believe what she saw in the county capital.

So, here she is, waiting silently.

Maybe even she herself didn't know what she was waiting for.

Until today, the sound of footsteps could be heard in this empty street. Sudden

Xu Qing walked towards Qingqiu step by step until he reached her side.

Qingqiu looked forward, without turning his head. He just tightened his grip on the devil's sickle slightly, then slowly loosened it, without saying a word.

Xu Qing followed her gaze and looked at the grocery store.

Vaguely, he seemed to see a dirty little girl with scars on her face busy in the shop.

Seven years.

Seven years ago, they met in this scavenger. They were both people who had experienced the mutilation of the gods and opened their eyes, and had managed to survive.

Seven years later, they returned again. Sudden

Xu Qing didn't speak, and Qingqiu was also silent, but her shoulders began to tremble.

After a long time, Xu Qing took out a ball of oil paper and placed it on the ground in front of Qingqiu.

"Once here, someone gave me a piece of candy. She told me that when I was sad, if I eat it, I would be much happier."

Xu Qing spoke softly.

"I can roughly guess what's going on in your heart, but I want to tell you that I ate that piece of candy back then, which relieved the sadness in my heart, and this piece was bought for you from the Seven Blood Boys. "

Xu Qing's voice was filled with reminiscence. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, walking more than ten steps. Xu Qing paused in his steps, did not look back, and spoke in a solemn tone.

"Also, remember to write back to the commander to report."

"Yes!" Qingqiu answered instinctively. After she finished speaking, she realized what she was doing. She immediately lowered her head and gripped the sickle tightly.

Xu Qing raised the corners of his mouth, said no more, and walked away.

Until he left, the wind came out, lifting the dead leaves on the ground and shaking the oil paper. It also fell on Qingqiu's body, shaking her mind.

After she saw Xu Qing's Nascent Soul at the altar of the capital, she felt an unprecedented wave of emotions in her heart.

That sudden scene made her a little unable to accept it.

She couldn't believe that the source of her efforts to become stronger, the person she had longed to find in Nanhuang Continent, had actually always been by her side in the past two years.

And being so excellent and powerful, she, who was unwilling to admit that she was inferior, had to admit this fact. Sudden

This made her a little confused, and there was endless complexity in her heart, because all her efforts and hard training were all to one day protect that very important figure in her life.

Just like when the other party stood in front of him and replaced the bamboo slips to protect himself.

This is her pursuit and dream.

But now, the person she wanted to protect didn't need her to do anything at all.

Even these days when she recalled the past of the county, she had actually been silently protected since the Shiguang Tree.

So, she came here, with a complicated heart, and while she was slowly sorting out all this, she also had some expectations, whether she would meet her brother here.

She met. Sudden

"hateful!"

Qingqiu gritted her teeth, thinking of her instinctive response before, so she raised her hand angrily and reached for the oil paper in front of her, but when she touched it, she became extremely gentle, holding the oil paper ball in her palm as if it were a treasure.

Gently opened it, revealing a piece of shiny rock sugar inside.

She didn't eat it, and looked at it, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth under the mask.

The evil ghost sickle looked at all this and spoke excitedly.

"Aqiu, you must seize it. This is a good opportunity given by the heaven. In the future, you must listen to Lord Xu Qing obediently. Do whatever he asks you to do, and never refuse."

"In this way... we will have the opportunity to die with the powerful Guixu in the future, and even... it is not impossible to die with the gods!"

"Oh my God, if we can die with the gods in this life, it will be our supreme honor!"

The evil ghost sickle was extremely excited, his body trembled, and there was a red light in his eyes.

Qingqiu didn't shout to shut up this time, but was thoughtful.

At the same time, Xu Qing, who had left the scavenger camp, was walking in the restricted area, heading towards the grave of Captain Lei.

Ling'er didn't speak this time. She wanted to speak, but she felt that Xu Qing was a little depressed after entering the restricted area, so she was very obedient and touched Xu Qing's cheek.

But in her heart, she murmured.

"Is that little sister brother Xu Qing's childhood friend? She was originally very emotional, but when she saw the candy, she immediately got better."

"Is candy so useful? Then I will buy some when I go back."

"Then if brother Xu Qing is unhappy one day, I will take it out and give it to him."

Ling'er thought so in her heart, and when she felt that she had learned useful knowledge, Xu Qing came to the grave of Captain Lei.

There are more weeds here.

The tombstone is the same as before.

Xu Qing sat quietly by the side, leaning against the big tree, looking at the tombstone.

At this moment, it was dusk, and there was some thin fog around, which was gradually getting thicker.儵

Xu Qing didn't care about these. He took out two pots of wine, one pot was placed in front of the tomb, and the other pot was held in his hand and raised high.

"Captain Lei, I did a big thing a few days ago..."

Xu Qing smiled and spoke while drinking.

He talked about the county capital, the sword holder, the war, and the palace master.

"Big brother said I grew up. Yes, seven years...Captain Lei, you told me before that time can blur everything, so you waited for so long and don't want to wait anymore."

"But why do I sometimes close my eyes and still want to eat a meal that you cooked..."

Xu Qing murmured. After Wushuang City disappeared, he wandered in the world and tasted the first person who brought warmth to his family. He couldn't forget it at all. 儵

Xu Qing lowered his head and drank wine, one mouthful after another.

Until dusk passed, night fell, and the fog became thicker and thicker around, drowning everything. In the fog, Xu Qing's murmur came.

"Captain Lei, I miss you..." After a long time, Xu Qing sighed softly in the mist, kowtowed to the grave, then stood up, left there, and walked step by step into the depths of the restricted area. He obtained the shadow here that year, so he wanted to bring the shadow back here to let it absorb the heterogeneity of this restricted area to see if it could help the shadow break through. The shadow also fluctuated after Xu Qing entered the restricted area. As Xu Qing went deeper, the fluctuation became clearer and clearer, and while spreading desire, it also spread around under Xu Qing's feet. 儵 Wherever he passed, trees began to shake, gradually turning into coffins with eyes. The fog here also suddenly became thicker as the shadow spread, and it spread out waves of greed, as if in the depths of the fog, there were malicious eyes on Xu Qing and the shadow. What followed was a series of rustling sounds, as if countless beings were whispering, floating in this silent restricted area and in this fog. Xu Qing glanced at the fog, his eyes flashed with coldness, but he still walked forward until he passed the temples of the past and walked into the depths of the restricted area. The fog was extremely thick here and continued to spread. Faintly, he heard singing.

This was the second time he heard singing in the restricted area.

There is a legend in this restricted area that if the person who hears the singing does not die, he will receive a gift from the restricted area and can see the person he wants to see when he hears the singing for the second time.

At this moment, as the singing drifted, the surroundings became cold and the icy breath came from all directions. 儵

Xu Qing paused, he raised his head and looked at the fog in the distance, there... there were footsteps.
