Outside of Time

Nanhuangzhou, spring.

The sky was dark and filled with dark clouds.

It was obviously noon, but the dark clouds were crowded together, continuous, and spread over a huge area, seeming to cover all the sunlight.

Coldness covers the earth, desolation fills the world, and the season of revival of all things, but there is no vitality and excitement. All these create a sense of depression, shrouding an ancient city.

This city has existed for a long time. If you read ancient books, you will find that this city can be traced back to the period of the Ziqing Kingdom.

Of course, this Purple Green Kingdom is not the mysterious country buried in history, but the Purple Green Kingdom of Nanhuang Continent.

According to legend, the Ziqing Kingdom in Nanhuang Continent is the continuation of the descendants of the mysterious Ziqing Kingdom.

But it seems that this country has been cursed, and the word purple and green cannot be tolerated in the world.

Therefore, the Ziqing Kingdom in Nanhuang Continent did not last long, and everyone rebelled against their relatives, and was usurped by the eight nobles under their command.

So, there is purple soil.

At this moment, there are not many pedestrians in this city that has gone through many years and still retains the architectural style of the past. In this dense purple soil, too many people may be worth less than animals.

These are the rules of the world, which are difficult to change, and even if they are forcibly changed, similar things will still happen.

After all, the other side of civilization is exploitation and oppression.

Xu Qing walked silently on the streets of Zitu, passing ancient buildings here and there, looking at the city and the people in the city. The wind blew from the front, gently swaying his hair.

There is his old friend in the city.

There is his mentor in the city.

Old friends, Xu Qing's spiritual thoughts swept over them and it was enough to know that they were fine.

As for his mentor... Xu Qing looked at a flower shop next to him. Most of the shops opened next to the cemetery sold items to commemorate the dead. The shop owner was a middle-aged man. After noticing Xu Qing, he quickly showed a flattering smile.

Xu Qing's neat clothes and handsome face made him, a small person, immediately realize that this was a big shot. In his guess, the other person should be the son of a powerful person in the eight major families.

He dare not offend such a person in the slightest.

Xu Qing glanced over, bought a bouquet of white magnolias, walked to the cemetery, and walked to Master Bai's tomb.

Looking at the tombstone and the flowers placed there, Xu Qing's eyes softened, and she put down the flowers in her hand and knelt down to worship.

"Teacher, be well."

Xu Qing murmured softly and closed his eyes.

The clouds and mist in the sky flowed, revealing a gap, allowing the covered sunlight to shine down on the cemetery.

This beam of light, like the dawn, represents beauty. It falls on the cemetery, making it seem like a pure land in the end of the world, and also brings the breath of spring.

And this only falling beam of light quickly attracted the attention of many people in Zitu.

As the spiritual thoughts swept over, the purple monks were surprised. They did not find anything unusual in the cemetery.

There is no one in front of Master Bai's tomb.

Only the bouquet of magnolia blossoms bloomed silently, and its flower language represents the arrival of spring.

Xu Qing has left.

Similar time, but different sky and different seasons.

The spring of purple soil is the beginning of winter for the eastern part of Nanhuangzhou.

The cold wind blew across the earth like a knife, picking up the snowflakes in the air and venting the coldness ruthlessly.

In the wilderness, some motionless black figures can be seen, which are the frozen corpses of people who had to migrate.

The times have not changed, and there will not be too many changes because Xu Qing has now become the master of the great domain, because... the remaining face in the sky will exist forever.

Xu Qing walked silently and came to the original scavenger camp. The place was still the same as before, but the old friends were basically dead and were reoccupied by the newcomers who continued to pick seven-leaf clovers around the restricted area.

Dirty, cold, and bloody are still the main themes here.

Even feather tents exist.

Xu Qing's eyes swept across the scavenger camp in the sky, and finally entered the restricted area ahead.

The moment he stepped into the penalty area, the entire penalty area suddenly roared. The fog surrounding the penalty area became thick and churning, and red lightning flashed through the clouds and mist.

All the trees were trembling, and all the ferocious beasts in the restricted area were trembling.

This drastic change also attracted the attention of the outside scavenger camp. They were shocked, and roars from deep in the restricted area came out of the restricted area with threats.

This sound... was like the weakest roar of a ferocious beast that was constantly retreating in the face of a natural enemy before encountering great danger.

The sound of the piano was sharp and rapid, as if trying to stop Xu Qing's approach, but it made no sense.

Xu Qing's expression did not change at all. His steps were heavy. Every time he took a step, the restricted area would tremble and roar. Soon, all the ferocious beasts in the restricted area chose to crawl.

Only Qinyin was left, still struggling.

But Xu Qing got tired of hearing this and took a cold look deep into the restricted area.

"Noisy."

As soon as he spoke, the shadows under his feet spread immediately, and the sound of greed and swallowing of saliva surpassed the sound of the piano and covered everything.

The ancestor of the King Kong Sect also flew out in an instant, floating in mid-air, with the tip pointing towards the restricted area, as if it would penetrate a thousand holes as long as Xu Qing gave the order.

The sound of the piano stopped suddenly.

The flowers and grass separated in front of Xu Qing, the trees pulled up their roots and quickly moved out of the way, and soon a straight road was paved in front of Xu Qing.

At the end of the road, there is a trembling tree and a lonely grave in front of it.

Xu Qing walked calmly until he reached the solitary grave and sat down against the big tree.

A wine gourd appeared in his hand, and he took a sip and poured it down.

There were no words, and no words were needed. The moment he sat here, Xu Qing's heart was at peace, as if Captain Lei had appeared in front of him, drinking with him and looking at the sky together.

Until the distant sky, the sunset.

Xu Qing's voice was a little hoarse and she spoke softly.

"Team Lei, Destiny Flower, I found it..."

These words carry memories, regrets, unspeakable thoughts, and helplessness in life.

After a long time, Xu Qing sighed softly and drank the wine in the gourd in one gulp.

Sky, sunset.

The sky is dark and the moon is rising.

Under the moonlight, Xu Qing stood up and knelt down in front of the solitary grave. After bowing, he stood up and walked into the distance. Flowers, plants and trees resumed behind him, covering the solitary grave.

The blowing wind also carried Xu Qing's voice.

"I won't kill you, but you have to protect this place."

As Xu Qing's voice echoed, a vague figure appeared next to the solitary grave.

This figure is not Lei Dui’s former lover, but an old woman. If you look carefully, you can see that there is a broken guqin in her body.

She, the owner of this restricted area, was staring at Xu Qing's back. She lowered her head silently and chose to obey.

Under the moonlight, Xu Qing walked on the sky. The moonlight was bright in other places, but on Xu Qing's body, it turned purple.

The halo formed by the purple moonlight made Xu Qing's figure in the dark night look like a god, walking step by step to the only forbidden place in Nanhuang Continent, and it was also the largest forbidden place that Xu Qing had ever seen.

Phoenix ban.

The Phoenix Forbidden City is so big that it occupies most of Nanhuang Continent. Even if Yanhuang wanted to, it would be easy to cover the entire Nanhuang Continent.

Such a large forbidden area has also given rise to some strange ethnic groups. These ethnic groups live in the forbidden area. Their number and race are unknown to the world.

For outsiders, they obey Yanhuang's decree and do not take the initiative to harm them, but if they are provoked by outsiders, they will not hold back.

It is precisely because of the terror of Huang Jin that in the records of many ethnic groups in Wanggu Continent, the leader of Huang Jin is called Yanhuang, and is even more revered as Nanhuang.

He is mysterious, ancient, and a rare being who has a certain kindness towards life.

At this moment, Xu Qing came to the edge of the Phoenix Forbidden City in the moonlight and stood on a peak of the Truth Mountain Range.

There was a person who had obviously known about his arrival for a long time, so he was waiting here in advance.

So when Xu Qing came, he saw a little fat man, sucking eggs from time to time, sitting on the edge of the cliff with an intoxicated look on his face, and humming a ditty in his mouth.

"It's not that I love the mortal world, it seems to have carved a trace on the front edge. When the flowers fall and bloom, I become the stone that looks after my wife. I must go and stay here. Don't ask me where I am going if you don't fill your head with mountain flowers!"

Listening to this ditty, Xu Qing walked towards Huang Yan and sat next to him.

Huang Yan grinned, waved and threw an egg to Xu Qing, raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes, and spoke with a smile.

"Your sister-in-law hasn't given birth yet, and her temper is getting worse and worse. Alas, you're here just in time to have some eggs with me."

Xu Qing took the egg, poked it open in the same way as before, and took a sip. It was extremely sweet.

"How long will it take for Second Senior Sister to give birth?"

Xu Qing looked at Huang Yan.

Huang Yan looked proud and patted his belly.

"My seed is otherworldly and is born with an innate spirit. Naturally, it will take a long time to gestate. It is estimated that it will be born in a few decades."

Xu Qing nodded. If so, he should be able to come back before the second senior sister's child is born.

In this way, Xu Qing and Huang Yan drank eggs and talked about their respective affairs during this period. Huang Yan mainly talked about his emotions and expectations about becoming a father, and Xu Qing talked about the experience of worshiping the moon and going to the emperor. All.

Time passed slowly until the sun rose in the distance. The two looked at each other and smiled.

Xu Qing patted his clothes, stood up, and was about to leave. He didn't ask Huang Yan if he was Yanhuang. It wasn't important. What was important was that he was Huang Yan and a friend.

Huang Yan didn't mention it either, keeping everything in silence.

But before Xu Qing left, Huang Yan thought for a moment, took out a storage bag, and a red feather, and handed them to Xu Qing.

The feathers were all crystal clear, resembling jade but not jade, exuding a scorching heat, with a rich divine power rising inside, which was different from all the divine auras Xu Qing had encountered.

It seems to contain the flavor of ancient times.

"This is for you."

"I have a sister in Nanxin County, which is the place you must pass to go to the imperial capital. She has been to Nanhuang Continent before and likes the fruits here. At that time, the yield was not much, but now it is ripe a lot. Please drop by. Send her some."

"My sister has a bad temper, but like me, she is very loyal."

Huang Yan smiled and spoke.

Xu Qing nodded without refusing, put it away and stared at Huangyan.

"Take care of yourself."

After saying that, Xu Qing swayed and walked up to the sky.

At the top of the mountain, Huang Yan looked at Xu Qing with emotion on his face and suddenly spoke.

"Xu Qing, as I said before, if you are unhappy outside, come back to Nanhuang Continent, it is safe here!"

On the sky screen, Xu Qing looked serious, nodded heavily, walked into the distance, and his figure gradually faded away.

The figure of Huangyan on the top of the mountain also blurred. The moment it disappeared, a pair of giant eyes suddenly opened deep in the Phoenix Forbidden City, and the breath spread out, causing all the creatures in the forbidden area to worship in unison.

He looked into the distance and murmured in a low voice.

"Take care of yourself."
