Outside of Time

A soft voice came from the sky, accompanied by a low hum that echoed in all directions.

"The clouds in the sky are as high as the mountains, and the rocks in my heart are as high as the earth!"

Xu Qing was stunned and the captain was surprised. Wu Jianwu suddenly raised his head and looked at the girl in the air. He raised his eyebrows and spoke calmly.

"The green mountains are not dark, how can you tell when the moon has set?"

"I was rude, you can call me Yunxiazi." The middle-aged woman clearly understood Wu Jianwu's poem and spoke softly.

This time, it was Wu Jianwu's turn to be stunned.

At noon, a gentle wind blew, the green grass on the mountains swayed, and the clouds and mist in the sky seemed to flow faster in the wind, blowing everyone's hair and touching Wu Jianwu's heartstrings.

He did not expect that there would be someone in this world who could understand his poems and appreciate his talents. He was surprised by the sudden appearance of this person.

You must know that since he started imitating the ancient Queen Xuanyou, everyone he met in this life was full of misunderstandings about him, even his master.

But he always adheres to his own ideas and always remembers the legacy of the ancient emperor. After all the way to the present, he has long been accustomed to the vulgarity of the world and is used to not being recognized.

Until now...

Wu Jianwu's eyes showed a sharp light. He raised his head and put his hands behind his back. The wind blew his hair and made his clothes rustle.

But he didn't care about all this. He looked at the middle-aged woman in the air and made a low voice.

"The mountains and seas of Jiuzhou are high, the sky and the earth are high, and the clouds are too misty to be a road bridge?"

The woman was moved, her body fell from mid-air, and stood in front of Wu Jianwu.

The sunlight shining on his body made the simple Taoist robe look colorful, and his slightly pretty face looked even more fairy-like because of the light in his eyes.

She nodded slightly.

"Young master's guess is correct, I am the sect leader of the Southern Sect in the Yin Yang Flower Room."

Wu Jianwu's eyes showed strange light and he spoke again.

"What morning did the starry wind come yesterday? I wonder if dogs and cats fell in the sky?"

The woman smiled.

"I understand." As she said that, she turned around and waved, and suddenly the sect's light curtain opened a gap and spread rapidly to both sides, and three bells echoed from the top of the mountain.

This kind of courtesy is no small thing.

Xu Qing and the captain were completely stunned. Ning Yan was also dumbfounded and confused.

He looked at Wu Jianwu and then at the sect leader. He felt that one of the two people must have a serious problem in his head.

Not only Ning Yan thinks so, the three disciples guarding the mountain gate are also in confusion at the moment. They can't understand even half of Wu Jianwu's poems, but their own sect leader seems to have really understood it.

This couldn't help but remind them of the rumors within the sect about their sect leader. It was said that the sect leader admired the ancient Emperor Xuanyou of the human race the most. He also liked talented people and even occasionally wrote poems.

But no matter what, the three of them were extremely respectful now, quickly moved out of the way, and secretly paid attention to Wu Jianwu.

"Sir, please!"

The middle-aged woman said softly, without any contempt at all because of the gap between Wu Jianwu's cultivation level and her own. Even in her eyes, those who had higher cultivation level were too many, but those with such talent in this world, But very few.

So in her eyes, Xu Qing and the captain were just foils.

Wu Jianwu was full of energy, held his head high, and walked forward. The clouds accompanied him all the way, and he was treated very politely.

The two of them were in front. Xu Qing and the captain looked at each other and followed obediently. Ning Yan was about to follow when Wu Jianwu in front stopped and spoke calmly.

"Half a piece, one piece, two or three pieces, even a short dog has to bow his head to see you!"

Hearing this, Yun Xiazi turned to look at Ning Yan.

Ning Yan trembled, and before he could speak, a light curtain formed in front of him, blocking him out.

"What is this? I can understand this, it's impossible!" Ning Yan was dumbfounded. He knew that Wu Jianwu was petty. Although he was angry now, he did not dare to show it. He could only watch Xu Qing and the three of them far away. go.

In this way, they entered the Yin Yang Flower Sect all the way. On the way, he saw patches of tiger-head butterflies flying in the air. The number was much more than in the wild.

From a distance, it looks like a colorful mist lingering between the two peaks.

This made Xu Qing a little strange. He saw this kind of butterfly several times along the way, but this time was the most. As his eyes fell, he was following Wu Jianwu in front of him. Suddenly, there was a lake in front of him. Everything overlapped.

Xu Qing paused, but in the next moment everything returned to normal.

The captain turned his head and glanced at Xu Qing, with an inquiring look in his eyes.

Xu Qing shook his head, seemingly as usual, but a strong sense of vigilance arose in his heart. He knew that his body was fine, so the previous Huhu and Mohu were a bit weird.

However, this was not the time to say more. Xu Qing lowered his head and continued to follow until after a stick of incense, they were taken to the sect's guest house and settled here.

The sect leader watched Wu Jianwu and the others enter the guest house and then turned around and left.

While walking in the sect, a large number of butterflies flew over and surrounded her, and two figures appeared in the void around her, accompanying her.

One of the figures spoke in a low voice.

"Sect Master, these people suddenly appeared in Yingniu City ten days ago. They had not arrived before. They went to the Lingtang Pavilion first. Everything was as usual."

"Then he left and headed into the Weiyang Mountains, losing track of him."

"The purpose of coming to me is unknown."

"As for their identity as disciples, they are real and come from the Western Sect."

Another figure also whispered words.

"As for the talented young master, he does not have a high status among their group, but he has not seen any signs of being kidnapped. He should have accompanied him voluntarily."

"And there is a curse on these people. It is unlikely that they are from outside the land. Especially one of them, the curse in his body is so deep that it can break out at any time."

Listening to the words of the people around him, Yun Xiazi nodded.

"Pay attention first. If they really just come here to live and don't do anything harmful to our clan, don't pay attention to them."

"If..." The figure on the side hesitated.

"If there is really any evil intention..." Yun Xiazi paused in her steps and spoke calmly.

"Behead them and feed them to Wudie. As for the young master, give them a generous burial."

"Respect the decree of the law!" The two bowed their heads and said yes, and their figures disappeared into the lake.

Time passed slowly like this, and seven days passed quickly.

The three of them, Xu Qing, lived here peacefully without any unusual behavior. They were honest and honest. Although they occasionally went out, they would not explore secrets.

They also knew that the sudden arrival of themselves and others would definitely attract attention, although the sudden situation at Wu Jianwu's place eased everything.

But after all, they are not disciples of this sect, so they can only live below the halfway point of the first mountain peak.

The three of them were not allowed to go to other places at will. Even if the sect leader admired Wu Jianwu, he would not break the rules for this reason.

But Xu Qing and the others are the ones who can live here.

The first step of the plan.

Because the back mountain spiritual pool is open to all disciples, anyone can go there as long as they pay a certain amount of spiritual stones.

Xu Qing and the captain went there twice, and sat down silently in the spiritual pool, each breathing out their words to suppress the curse in their bodies as much as possible.

This curse was what they thought of on the way here.

If you want to lie, there must be a real thing there, so that the truth can be hidden in the false, creating confusion.

Although the spiritual pool does not have the ability to directly affect the curse, it can nourish the physical body, so it can also have some effect indirectly.

There are actually many places like this in the Moon Sacrifice Domain, which is also one of the meanings of the formation of the Tianniu Alliance.

During this period, Xu Qing had another trance-like feeling. Each time, tiger-head butterflies appeared in large numbers, and he also knew the names of these butterflies.

They are called dancing butterflies, and they are the strange beings that the Yin Yang Huajian Sect needs to be equipped with as a sacrificial dance.

Regarding his own accident, Xu Qing also secretly informed the captain. The captain took this very seriously and analyzed it with him for a long time, but there was no real answer.

Xu Qing vaguely felt that something was wrong about this matter, so he didn't say much, but he already took this matter very seriously in his heart.

During these seven days, Xu Qing and the captain also felt the changes in their plan.

That is the sect leader named Yunxiazi, she is always in the place of Lingchi.

With her here, even if Xu Qing and the captain set up the trap against the ghost spirit very cleverly according to the plan, and there would be no fluctuations under the captain's auspices, it would still be under the opponent's nose after all.

In this way, it is impossible not to be noticed.

It has been less than a month since the day when You Jing came to be baptized.

This made the captain anxious. Although he and Xu Qing also had a backup plan, under the current situation, it was obvious that Wu Jianwu would be more effective if he used more force.

So on the eighth day, the captain found Wu Jianwu, put his arm around his shoulders, and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Dajian, we can't go on like this."

Wu Jianwu glanced at the captain sideways and said nothing. He was very nourished these days and had a lot of poems in his heart.

The captain coughed and spoke in an encouraging tone.

"Da Jianjian, go and seduce that sect leader and lure her away from the spirit pool..."

Wu Jianwu sneered. After coming to this sect, his status among the three people was no longer the same. At this moment, he waved his hand proudly, took out his offspring parrot, and placed it on his head.

He didn't speak, but the parrot raised its chin and spoke on his father's behalf.

"What a bullshit method, it's too immature. Sect Master Yunxiazi is not a fool. Once my father tries to seduce me, she will definitely have doubts in her heart."

"At that time, she only needs to sense the spirit pool and catch you all!"

"You are seeking death. That is your business. My father and we will never participate!"

Xu Qing glanced at the parrot. The bird raised its head as it spoke, like a stick, and looked at people with its nostrils under its feathers.

The captain looked surprised.

"I didn't say that after your father lured Yunxiazi away, we were going to the Lingchi to arrange it."

"Let's go in the opposite direction. If your father goes to seduce you, Yunxiazi will be suspicious and then check it out, but she will find that everything is as usual."

"It's like this every time, over and over again until dozens of times, she will naturally not be so suspicious."

"Are you right?"

The parrot was stunned, and Wu Jianwu's expression became more serious.

"It will take me some time to arrange it in the world fragments. As for placing it in the spiritual pool and forming a concealment formation, it only takes three hours."

The parrot lowered his head and secretly looked at his father. Wu Jianwu had some hesitation in his eyes. The captain knew Wu Jianwu too well, so he went up to persuade him. When Wu Jianwu gradually became more and more shaken, the captain made the final decision.

"The worst thing I can do is not get rid of my previous life. I also have other alternatives, which are the five ancient volumes of Emperor Xuanyou's ancient books. Alas, you can't get them."

"It tells many things about the ancient emperor, including his early ambitions, and it is written in the form of poetry..."

"I still remember there is a fragment of a poem in it, let me read it to you."

"Heaven bows its head and the sun and moon shine brightly, purging the imperial land and clearing up all the wasteland!"

The captain spoke softly, and as soon as he said these words, an unspeakable momentum arose.

Hearing this, Wu Jianwu trembled all over and looked fascinated. Finally, he grabbed the parrot above his head and put it away. He took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

"Done!"

His eyes were firm, the words he spoke were full of determination and decisiveness, and his heart was full of determination.

Seeing this, the captain showed admiration, as if he admired Wu Jianwu's state, and stepped forward to discuss the plan with him.

Xu Qing watched all this and sighed in his heart. He walked outside the house door and protected them while also looking at the dark night in the distance.

The world that should have been pitch black was dotted with fireflies.

That is the tiger-headed butterfly, a dancing butterfly unique to the Yin Yang Huajian Sect. It not only emits a curse and is highly poisonous, but it can also emit light at night.

"Disciples of this sect have the ability to detoxify, so they don't need to care about the poison of the dancing butterfly."

"But, what was the reason for my two previous lapses?"

Xu Qing pondered, feeling the divine fingers of Ding Yi San Er inside her body, and found that she was sleeping peacefully...

"Could it be some subsequent hidden dangers caused by the fateful tribulation during the chaos of heaven and earth?"

Xu Qing frowned and analyzed in his heart.

Soon, the night passed.

Under the captain's advice, when the early morning sun came from the distant sky and earth, Wu Jianwu walked out of the house with deep eyes and an indifferent expression, hands behind his back.

He was going to complete the task assigned by the captain and seduce Yun Xiazi!

This task was arduous, because once completed, the harvest was related to his dream, so it became sacred in his heart. Until the moment he walked out of the door, the sun fell on Wu Jianwu, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at the captain and Xu green.

The captain raised his arm and gave a cheering gesture.

"You can definitely do it!"

Wu Jianwu raised his chin, nodded indifferently, turned around, and ran straight into the distance.

The captain watched, and after a few breaths, when Wu Jianwu's figure disappeared at the end, he immediately took out an eye, squatted in a corner and waved to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was not surprised. He didn't believe that the captain would be curious enough not to peep at something like this, and maybe even take pictures.

"Haha, Da Jianjian is such a capable person!" The captain looked proudly at the eyes in front of him, took out a photo slip and started recording.

Xu Qing said nothing and his gaze fell on his eyes, which reflected the figure of Wu Jianwu.

Wu Jianwu walked in the Yin Yang Huajian Sect, feeling uneasy all the way and constantly cheering for himself, until he arrived at a pavilion. He took a deep breath and took out the jade slip to transmit messages to Yun Xiazi.

"The birds can't see their shadows in the sky, but by fate, there is a good immortal in this pavilion!"

The other party sent them there that day, and left jade slips with him before leaving. At this moment, the message transmission was completed.

Wu Jianwu clasped his hands behind his back, raised his head, and looked at the sky.

The wind blew up his hair, swaying like a heartstring, and a gentle voice with a smile came from behind him.

"Master, call me?"

Wu Jianwu did not turn around and spoke proudly.

"The clouds in the sky cross the water, and the earth's glow accompanies the chanting."

Yunxiazi's eyes sparkled, she walked to Wu Jianwu's side, looked at Wu Jianwu's side face, and suddenly spoke.

"The spirit of the ancient moon reflects in the morning spring, and it washes away the heart without leaving a trace in this life."

Wu Jianwu's body trembled, and he turned his head to look at Yun Xiazi beside him, with a strange look in his eyes.

He originally thought that the other party only understood him, and the invitation to recite poetry was just a casual comment, but he did not expect that Yun Xiazi could actually recite poetry.

Then the interest became more intense and a low voice came out.

"Who can sing if the black wind doesn't roar? The green water is still rippling!"

The sun reflected on Yunxiazi's face, and there was a faint red cloud rising. She looked at the horizon and whispered.

"A green mountain never grows old and can be shaken by nature. Life is like a dream. Who can climb higher?"

Wu Jianwu was silent, but after a while he still did not give up and spoke again.

"The green plums are ripe and glowing purple. Who will make wine and ask about returning home?"

Yunxiazi stopped talking, her voice echoed softly as her thoughts fluctuated.

"When we meet, the smile will go away, but you and I will still talk about Zen principles."

Wu Jianwu was a little depressed but still managed to keep his spirits up and smiled.

Yun Xiazi also smiled, and the two of them walked down the pavilion and walked towards the distance.

The wind was blowing around, the light was shining on the road ahead, and butterflies were dancing around. There was an unspeakable beauty in the haze.

I just don’t know why, but there is always a bit of sadness in this beautified picture.

"What were they talking about from beginning to end?" The captain knew how to make a scene look bad. He looked at Xu Qing blankly and said another sentence.

"How do I feel that they are checking the code?"

Xu Qing was also confused. Yunxiazi seemed to be the only one who could understand Wu Jianwu's poems so far.

After a while, the two looked at each other and continued to pay attention to Wu Jianwu.

A day passed, and at dusk, Wu Jianwu came over. His expression was bitter, with some complexity and emotion. When he came back, he didn't say a word and sat silently in a chair in a daze.

Seeing this, the captain went over to comfort him and tried to ask questions, but Wu Jianwu shook his head and finally sighed.

"There are no hundred-year-old flowers in this life, and there is no yarn across the stars on the other side."

The captain frowned and looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's eyes were cold and he spoke calmly.

"speak nicely!"

Wu Jianwu looked sad, took out the parrot and placed it on his head. The parrot sighed and spoke in a low voice.

"My dad was rejected."

"It's okay, women are like that. You have to be more reserved first so that you can't get it easily. I'll teach you a few tricks with the big sword. It will definitely work!" Upon hearing this, the captain immediately put his arms around Wu Jianwu's neck and continued to discuss.

Just like that, when morning came again, Wu Jianwu regained his strength, walked out again, and continued to invite people.

Time passed slowly, twenty days passed quickly, and it was less than seven days before the ghost spirit arrived.

These days, although Xu Qing and the captain occasionally went to the spirit pool, they did not make any small moves. As for Wu Jianwu, there was also some progress.

He went to meet Yun Xiazi almost every day. Sometimes the two went on outings together, sometimes recited poems together, and even had long conversations on a few occasions, praising the ancient emperor's talent together. They became intimate with each other unconsciously.

During this period, news about the movements of Xu Qing and the captain reached Yunxiazi every day. After everything returned to normal, Yunxiazi's doubts about the two gradually disappeared.

It was only three days before the arrival of the ghost spirit that Xu Qing and the captain decided to take action. As usual, they came to the spirit pool, soaked in it, and meditated cross-legged.

But one of the captain's toes separated from his body in the spiritual pool and turned into a small insect, slowly crawling under the water.

After quietly crawling around the entire spiritual pool, at the center, it turned into a piece of mud and stuck to the bottom of the spiritual pool.

Xu Qing closed his eyes and absorbed the nourishing power in the spirit pool without revealing any flaws. But just as the captain was about to finish, a group of dancing butterflies flew in the sky.

They floated past in mid-air, and Xu Qing's heart fluctuated. The moment he opened his eyes to look, that sense of ambiguity and haziness appeared in front of his eyes again.

The whole world seems to be strongly overlapping at this moment, whether it is mountains, rocks, spiritual pools, or everyone here, there are double images. Only the captain is clear!

Even the severe pain in his mind was born at this moment, and then turned into dizziness, as if the whole world was centered on him, rotating in one direction.

This feeling forced Xu Qing to instinctively close his eyes to barely relieve himself. At the same time, the feeling of fatigue and nausea persisted, and a large amount of cold sweat broke out on his forehead at some point.

Even if he was immersed in the warm water, he could not stop the coldness radiating from the inside out. All the sounds in his ears seemed to be weakened through nothingness.

This time it lasted longer than before, and it took more than ten breaths for Xu Qing to recover.

The moment he reopened his eyes, Xu Qing was breathing rapidly and his face was pale and without any blood. He instinctively held Chi Yan beside him. When he looked at the captain, the captain looked concerned and supported his shaky body.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"Senior Brother, are you hiding something from me?" Xu Qing looked at the captain and spoke in a low voice.

The captain was silent and did not answer the question. Instead, he smiled with sincerity in his eyes and said softly.

"Little Aqing, just trust me."

Xu Qing was silent, nodded after a while, and did not ask any further questions.

And they quickly got up, left the place, and returned to the house.

There were no abnormal changes throughout the whole process, which made Xu Qing instinctively feel that everything was going too smoothly, as if everything was going as they wanted.

Wu Jianwu successfully established a close relationship with Yun Xiazi, so that the other party did not notice their actions.

Then the planned arrangement was successfully completed, just waiting for the arrival of the ghost spirit.

But Xu Qing did not voice this question. In silence, he, the captain and Wu Jianwu left the Yin Yang Huajian Sect the next day.

Before leaving, Wu Jianwu was obviously still a little reluctant to leave, but for the sake of his great cause, he gritted his teeth and left without looking back as Yun Xiazi watched.

Three days after leaving, the ghost appeared.

In the distance, there is a huge group of people on the horizon. The maids are scattering flowers and the music is swaying. The figures of the ghosts are among them, coming in and out.

But no one noticed that at the moment she arrived, a pair of old eyes inside the Twin Peaks slowly opened and looked over meaningfully.

"interesting."
