Outside of Time

Chapter 23: The knife

Views:

He saw golden light!

All the portraits of Mohu on the inner walls of the temple.

Each of them is a small light source. At this moment, the light is converging, making the entire temple extremely bright, but the biggest light source is not them.

It's... the main statue enshrined in the temple, the stone with a stone knife!

In this golden light, Xu Qing's mind was shaking. He also saw a black misty figure standing there at the gate of the temple. .

Outside the temple behind the opponent, there are hundreds of black mist figures like this lake-like humanoid figure, there are hundreds of people, and there are also animal shapes.

At this moment, all of them exuded an astonishing coldness at this moment, and they gathered together, turning into a monstrous cold, as if they were invisibly connected with the black mist that stepped into the temple.

The only black shadow that entered the temple, at this moment, under the reflection of this golden light, slowly raised its head, let out a roar that seemed to shake the soul, and took another step.

This step seems to be offensive, it seems to touch the taboo!

At the moment of falling, Xu Qing was horrified to see the radiant stone statue holding a knife, as if it was alive, and walked down directly from where it was.

With supreme majesty and indescribable holiness, as if the gods descended to the earth, striding forward, with the roar of the ground, walking towards the shadow.

The knife fell from the hand, and the knife fell.

This knife, unpretentious, is very simple, but it seems that there is some kind of avenue in this simplicity, which is earth-shattering.

The mournful sound that the ears could not hear, but the soul could perceive, suddenly emanated from the shadow.

The mist evaporated in an instant, revealing a rotting and tattered body inside.

It can be seen that it is an old man, and his eyes are empty.

In the next instant, its body collapsed directly, evaporating and dissipating like a mist.

The black shadows outside were also affected, and the black mist outside their respective bodies was somewhat impenetrable, so that Xu Qing, with the help of the diffusion of golden light, saw that there was a familiar person in those shadows.

That's... Captain Blood Shadow!

At this moment, in the group of dark shadows, his thin face had no expression, and as the golden light diffused, his entire body seemed to be purified.

After a long while, in the dark night outside, those figures that did not dissipate slowly retreated, and finally disappeared completely.

The golden light in the temple also gradually diminished. The amazing figure of Shenwu turned around and returned to its original position with light. As the light completely dissipated from his body, he seemed to be heavy and withered. Standing there, looking in the direction of the gate, it seemed that Waiting, seemingly guarding, motionless.

After a long time, everything returned to normal, only Xu Qing, who saw all this in the stone crevice, was short of breath, and his eyes showed disbelief.

Obviously died in the fog of singing, and the blood shadow captain who had turned into dust with his own eyes actually still exists.

It is obviously just an ordinary temple, but it is actually golden at night.

Shi Wither, who was obviously motionless, stepped down like a god descending from the earth, and that knife was vast and unparalleled.

At this moment, the sky outside, the sun has appeared, and a new day has come.

It took Xu Qing a long time to calm down the shock in his mind and silently crawled out of the stone crevice.

He looked at the light outside, then looked at the portraits on the surrounding walls, and finally his eyes fell on the stone statue with the knife.

He didn't know what kind of existence the other party was, whether he was alive or dead.

I don't know how old this temple group is and what kind of splendor it is.

But what happened last night shocked him greatly.

In particular, the imposing manner contained in the vast sword fell deeply shocked Xu Qing, as if it was engraved in his soul and could not be forgotten.

He couldn't imagine that in this restricted area full of dangers and crises, there was such a dark and inaccessible area.

And Thunder Team didn't tell him about it, maybe... even Thunder Team didn't know.

Obviously, like last night's scene, it doesn't appear very often, and there are no people in the camp who can stay in the restricted area for a long time like him.

So even if someone has seen it, it is very few, and more of it is slowly turning this matter into an unverified legend.

Xu Qing was silent, and bowed deeply to the statues holding the knife and the stone around him.

After thinking about it, he took out a piece of candle from the leather bag, placed it in front of the stone, lit it, and then bowed again.

Turn around and leave the temple.

Until he walked out of the temple complex, he still looked back from time to time, as if he wanted to keep this place firmly in his heart, and at the same time, the image of the knife falling constantly appeared in his mind.

This picture was so clear in his mind that Xu Qing, who had left the temple complex, raised his right hand while walking in the jungle, instinctively trying to imitate it.

And every time he copied it, it made him feel deeply.

If the practice of Haishan Jue is to imitate by imitating the image of the mandrill, then Xu Qing at this moment is to replace the image of the mandrill with the image of the knife in his mind.

In this imitation, his cultivation base broke through unconsciously, and the Sea Mountain Art was promoted to the fourth floor!

Perhaps it was because of copying that sword, so this time the improvement not only doubled the strength and speed, but also had some spiritual breakthroughs.

This breakthrough made Xu Qing's mind sharper, and at the same time, his right hand lifted and fell, and there was a faint smell of a god statue dropping a knife.

This made Xu Qing very surprised.

Gradually two days passed, perhaps because of being in the periphery, or perhaps because of the shock of the temple that night, so that he did not encounter any strange footsteps on the way back.

As for the alien beast, Xu Qing encountered a few things.

But the improvement of his cultivation has improved his ability to save his life, and it is still smooth when he is careful.

Although the Flower of Destiny and the Scar Repelling Stone were not found, his harvest of esculenta was not small, and he could also exchange for a lot of spirit coins if he went back and sold it.

At this moment, when dusk was approaching, Xu Qing also saw the world outside the jungle, and was about to walk out, but his footsteps suddenly stopped, and he looked down at a grass beside him.

The appearance of this grass is somewhat similar to the Flower of Destiny, but even with his meager knowledge of plants and trees, he can recognize that this is not the Flower of Destiny.

However, Xu Qing thought about it, looked around with some guilty conscience, hesitated for a while, and finally picked it and put it in a leather bag.

Running fast all the way, out of the jungle, it was night when we returned to the camp.

It was not late at night, and the camp was still very lively, especially in the area with feathers on the tent, and there were bursts of unbridled gasps in the frolic.

Xu Qing didn't pay attention to this. When he returned to his residence, he just pushed open the courtyard door when he saw Thunder Team walking out of the house.

Team Lei was relieved after noticing that Xu Qing was in a state of embarrassment, but nothing was wrong.

"Why did it take so long."

"I went to the temple." Under the moonlight and the lights of the house, Xu Qing saw the red blood in Lei Dui's eyes and the exhaustion on his expression.

Obviously, he didn't rest well during this time, and for what reason... He had realized it, so his heart was a little warm.

"Temple?" Lei Dui was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xu Qing to run so far. At this moment, he greeted him to enter the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, and while Xu Qing was waiting, he brought up the cooked food.

The food was still hot, and there was no sign of being overwhelmed, Xu Qing was stunned.

He knew very well that Lei Dui didn't know when he would come back, so if he could just come back and have hot food and dishes, he could only explain one point.

The other party... prepares meals every day and is waiting for himself.

Xu Qing stood up silently and went to grab the bowl, the same three sets, the same two side by side, and then sat down to eat.

Very fragrant, there is a special taste that can not be felt by the taste buds, but can only be experienced by the heart.

Team Lei ate very little, and most of the time he was either drinking or looking at Xu Qing with a smile on his face.

"Eat more. You're still growing. If you don't eat more, you might get so tall."

This sentence made Xu Qing bow his head. After a while, he hummed and ate more obediently, and then told Lei Dui about his experience in the temple.

Lei Dui originally drank the wine sip by sip, but was quickly attracted by Xu Qing's knowledge. After Xu Qing finished speaking, he took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"I've heard people say this before, but it was a long time ago. Some people seem to have seen a similar scene, but like the singing, it eventually became a legend."

"Thinking about it now, it seems that it happened not long after the singing." Lei Dui murmured, suddenly thinking of something, and sadness slowly appeared in the memory of his eyes.

Looking at Team Lei, Xu Qing knew what he was thinking, and suddenly felt a little remorse. He felt that he shouldn't have said this, so he fell silent.

After a long while, Team Lei calmed down, as if seeing the reason for Xu Qing's silence, he smiled.

"You child is too sensitive, I am not as fragile as you think."

Lei Dui said, took a sip of wine, changed the subject, and told Xu Qing about the interesting things in the camp recently.

He was talking while drinking, and Xu Qing was listening while eating.

It seems to be each other's... family.

In the middle of the night, sitting there drinking wine, watching Xu Qing clean up the dishes, Lei Dui got up with a smile and went back to his room.

Xu Qing also returned to his room. After entering, he saw that the bedding had been changed to a new one, and it had been rolled up from the previous state, and it still smelled of drying on it.

Xu Qing looked up at the room of the Thunder Team next door. After a while, he walked over and wanted to sit on it, but he looked down at the dirt on his clothes and hands. He rolled up the quilt and sat on the bed. Close your eyes and practice.

Early in the morning, Xu Qing opened his eyes.

Just about to leave the room, but after thinking about it, he went to the bathroom and washed his hands despite the discomfort.

After making his hands clean and white, he took a deep breath, walked out of the room and went straight to the tent where the team leader was.

He knew he couldn't go too early, and he didn't want to go too late.

The former, Master Bai hasn't been in class yet, the latter... He's worried that he won't be able to hear what's in front of him.

In this way, under Xu Qing's calculation, when he came to the outside of Master Bai's tent, it was the moment when the sound of the assessment came from inside.

Xu Qing was very happy, standing there silently, listening carefully.

"Green Lotus Dew, also known as Qinglian Dew, is an aromatic water obtained from the flower buds of the water lily plant lotus, combined with a special method of warming fire, which has the function of calming the lungs, and treating coughing up blood by fire..."

The voice of the girl in the tent was the same as before, Xu Qing was slowly fascinated by it, time passed without realizing it, and more than an hour passed quickly until the tent suddenly opened, and Master Bai stood there and looked at him.

"What's the matter?" Master Bai's eyes were not sharp, but he was majestic. Xu Qing was very nervous. He bit the bullet and took out the herbs he picked on the way back from the leather bag, lowered his head and said softly.

"Master Bai, I... I want to ask if this is the Destiny Flower."

As soon as these words came out, Master Bai was stunned for a moment.

After he glanced over, there was something strange in his expression, and he looked at the young man's hands that were much cleaner than before. After a while, Xu Qing became more and more nervous, and he spoke slowly.

"This one, it's not."

Xu Qing hurriedly bowed and hurriedly left. He breathed a sigh of relief on the way, but he was still a little uneasy, so he looked back at the tent and found that Master Bai was also standing there.

Noticing the boy's gaze, Master Bai nodded.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qing stopped, bowed deeply again, and then left.

Watching Xu Qing's figure go away, Master Bai turned around and walked into the tent. At this moment, the guards and the young girl who originally existed in the tent seemed to be petrified and motionless.

At the place where Master Bai was sitting before, at some point, a table was placed with some food and wine on it. There was an old man in a purple robe next to him, and an old servant in gray behind him.

Seeing Master Bai walk in, the purple-robed old man laughed.

"Master Bai, how is it?"

"What is it."

Master Bai seemed to have no surprise at the sudden appearance of the purple-robed old man, nor was he worried about the motionless crowd around him. He sat opposite the purple-robed old man and took a sip from the jug.

"I mean what happened to the child. I told you last time that I found a good seedling while waiting for you." The purple-robed old man said with a smile.

"Good seedling? It's just the first time this kid came to eavesdrop. This time, in order to eavesdrop, he actually found a random herb and asked me if it was the flower of destiny. If it goes on like this, I guess he will take it every day. Using the herbal inquiry as an excuse to eavesdrop, if you hadn't told me about him, I would have driven him away long ago."

Master Bai stared and snorted at the purple-robed old man.

The purple-robed old man laughed.

"You are a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted person. With your stinky temper, if you don't really think he is a good person, it's useless for anyone to say hello."

Master Bai snorted coldly, instead of defending him, he asked a question.

"Are you planning to bring him back to the Seven-Blood Boy, you are so smoky and wasting a scholar's seedlings!"

"What a waste, what is the use of scholars, this world's cultivation base is the truth!" The purple-robed old man raised his eyebrows and responded.

"Scholar is useless? Why are you still here to wait for a mortal person like me, please ask me again and again to let me go to your seven-blooded boy." Master Bai said angrily.

"You're different..." The purple-robed old man smirked.

"Why am I different!" Master Bai glared at the purple-robed old man with a bad temper.

The purple-robed old man was helpless and patted his forehead.

"Oh, I remembered that there is still something I haven't done, Master Bai, I'll go first, and I'll come to you for a drink tomorrow,"

After finishing speaking, the old man in purple robe got up and was about to leave, but before leaving, he looked back at Master Bai and said something serious.

"Master Bai, if you really think that kid is a good person, teach him more knowledge and give him the opportunity to become a scholar with cultivation in Seven Bloods."

After he finished speaking, the old man in purple robe left with the old servant beside him. Until he left, everything in the tent instantly recovered, but no one noticed his abnormality.

"The Ronin from Douluo"

The guards were still standing guard, the boy was still annoyed, and the girl was still proud.

Only Master Bai raised his head to look at the direction where Xu Qing left before, and his eyes sank.
