In the forest at night, the howls of wolves echoed.
But the sound only appeared for a moment, and then gradually dissipated. It seemed that there was an existence even fiercer than them, walking alone.
Walking in the dark, the loss in Xu Qing's heart could not be buried in his heart quickly. He grew up in a slum since he was a child, and he was used to parting, but this time it was a little deeper.
The feeling of emptiness in his heart made him depressed, and in silence, his figure became more and more bleak.
Until it was almost dawn, after walking all night, he saw the camp at dawn.
Inside the camp, the lights are sparse.
Xu Qing thought about the past, no matter how late he came back from the restricted area, he could see the lights of a residence lighting up for him all the time.
But today, that direction is forever missing one.
Feeling more lonely, Xu Qing silently walked into the camp, walked to the pitch-dark residence, pushed open the door and saw more than a dozen wild dogs in the yard, they also looked at him quietly.
Looking up, there are three houses, all black.
No people, no lights, no breath.
There was still yesterday's dinner in the kitchen.
Xu Qing walked in and looked at the three sets of bowls on the table. After a long daze, he sat there silently, eating cold food with his head down.
One mouthful, one mouthful, after swallowing slowly, he cleaned the bowl, cleaned up the kitchen, took a deep breath, and returned to his room.
I closed my eyes and started to practice.
At the moment outside the courtyard, the purple-robed old man and his servants were standing there, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything and see Xu Qing inside.
They were all silent, and the purple-robed old man sighed softly after a long while.
"He's a loving child."
"Seventh Master, do we want to give him a token?" The servant looked at the purple-robed old man.
"Wait until we get the Yunmeng Flower that Master Bai wanted from the restricted area." After speaking, the purple-robed old man's body slowly dissipated, and the servants beside him nodded, and they also dissipated.
…
Just like that, the night passed.
Xu Qing, who walked out of the room the next morning, subconsciously looked at Lei Dui's residence, but quickly took his eyes back, silently went to Master Bai to take a class, and returned silently.
He cooked a meal alone, and he still had three sets of bowls on the table, eating silently.
Occasionally, he looked up at the seat where Thunder Team used to be, where... there was one less person and less words.
The whole meal was very quiet, and the feeling of loneliness permeated Xu Qing's heart again, and was forcibly suppressed by him.
After a person finished eating and cleaned up the bowl, he took out the food for the wild dog and threw it in the yard.
Watching the group of wild dogs devour, Xu Qing returned to the room and continued to meditate.
Days passed like this, and soon it was the sixth day when the Thunder team left.
Xu Qing has buried the loss in his heart and regained his usual indifference, but if you look closely, you will find that his indifference is even colder.
Except when he went to Master Bai's class, at other times, Xu Qing's sense of vigilance always existed. He was not unfamiliar with this state, because for the past six years, this... was his normal state.
Like a lone wolf.
He cultivated more diligently than before. It seemed that this way, he could find the familiar loneliness as soon as possible. Until the middle of the seventh day, Xu Qing's cultivation had broken through.
From the fourth layer of the previous Sea Mountain Art, it broke through to the fifth layer.
As the thumping sound in the body reverberated, the wild dogs outside also felt the power of suppression, and they retreated with trembling, as if there was an aura of awe and fear in Xu Qing's room.
This time, the sound in Xu Qing's body continued for a long time.
Even in terms of time, it surpassed before.
Half an hour later, when Xu Qing's sweat and pores overflowed to the extreme, his eyes opened.
At this moment, the entire room appeared a fleeting purple light.
The moment he opened his eyes, Xu Qing's body reverberated with the sound of Kaka, as if the bones were growing, the flesh was pulling, and there was a sense of tearing.
But for Xu Qing, it was still within his tolerance.
In the calm patience, another half an hour passed. When all this slowly ended, Xu Qing stood up, and the clothes on his body were actually shorter.
The slender body looks, not to mention reborn, but it is similar, very refined.
Especially the appearance, because there is no heterogeneity in the body, it is pure.
This made his original beauty more obvious, and with his indifference, there was a strange charm that could not be concealed by dirt.
But Xu Qing didn't care about this, he walked out of the house, and after testing the speed, he punched in the air, and there seemed to be a sound of muffled thunder echoing.
What's even more amazing is that when his fist fell, his spiritual energy fluctuated violently, and he actually faintly transformed into a mandrill, with fangs in his mouth, like a ghost!
"Is this the power of a single sword?" Amidst the trembling of the wild dogs around, Xu Qing glanced at his fist and muttered.
As mentioned in the Haishan Jue, each layer increases the power of one tiger, and five tigers are one mandrill, and two mandrills are one leader.
But after Xu Qing pondered, he felt that he did not match the description of Haishan Jue.
Now his own strength is afraid that he has reached the level of seven or eight tigers, and the speed is also the same. Even he has certain confidence that when he reaches the sixth level of the sea mountain art, he will have the power of two evil spirits in advance.
"It should be the effect of the purple crystal, and the knife that copied the statue in the temple."
Xu Qing murmured in his heart, looked at his right hand, and slowly raised it after being silent for a while, the image of a knife from the god appeared in his mind, and the faint air around him seemed to be gathering.
After a long while, Xu Qing did not continue, but put down his right hand.
"A little bit."
Xu Qing could feel that his copying was not enough. He took a deep breath at this moment and was about to return to his room, but under the moonlight, when he turned around, he looked down and saw his own shadow.
When he broke through before, all the heterogeneity was as usual, and it was integrated into the shadow. At this moment, his whole body was pure from the inside to the outside, and there was no heterogeneity at all.
Staring at the shadow, Xu Qing suddenly had an idea.
"I wonder if this shadow can be controlled..."
After this idea emerged in his mind, it became deeper and deeper, causing Xu Qing to stare continuously, trying to make the shadow play manually, but after trying for a long time, he still couldn't do it.
This made Xu Qing sigh lightly. He felt that he was greedy and was about to give up, but at this moment... His shadow's hand suddenly shook!
This scene made Xu Qing's eyes widen, and his breathing was slightly short.
He was sure it wasn't dazzling, and he didn't move his hand just now, so he increased his gaze and tried.
After a while, his shadow's hand, before Xu Qing's hand was raised, slightly... raised it!
Just a moment, Xu Qing felt that his head was about to explode, empty.
It took a long while to recover from the headache, and while panting, his eyes showed a strong light.
"It can be controlled!" Xu Qing lowered her head and took a deep look at the shadow.
He knew that even though it was difficult to control now, the emptiness of his brain just now and the current headache were telling him that this matter was extremely exhausting.
But he believed that with his proficiency and the improvement of his own cultivation, one day, sooner or later, he would be able to flexibly control his own shadow.
And at that time, the shadow... will be his unexpected weapon!
"I hope that day will come soon." Xu Qing took a deep breath, rubbed his aching forehead, and returned to the room to meditate cross-legged.
It wasn't until the early morning that he had recovered halfway, and his expression was a little sluggish.
Forcibly cheered up, changed into a bigger old clothes, and hurried to Master Bai's tent.
Chen Feiyuan was not there, and Master Bai had not come yet. Only Tingyu was there carrying the pharmacopoeia. After seeing Xu Qing coming, she casually raised her hand to say hello and continued to recite.
It's been like this all this time. Xu Qing heard Tingyu say that among the teenagers and girls who came outside some time ago, there were friends of Chen Feiyuan, so he often took leave to play.
As for Master Bai, I don't know what to do during this time. Every day, he will come later, and he will leave soon after finishing the course.
Xu Qing nodded and sat aside, took out his bamboo slices, and silently reviewed yesterday's homework. Tingyu, who bowed her head after saying hello, suddenly raised her head again and looked at Xu Qing suspiciously.
"Why do I think you seem to have changed a bit?"
Xu Qing did not look up and continued to review.
Tingyu's bright eyes stared, and she took a closer look.
Soon Master Bai came, so she had to give up, but during the course of the day, she swept over Xu Qing many times.
If it were changed from the past, Master Bai would definitely be strict, but today he seems to have something on his mind.
Until the course was finished and the content of tomorrow's assessment was arranged, Master Bai left in a hurry.
After the teacher left, Xu Qing got up and was about to leave, when Tingyu shook her body and stopped by the door.
Xu Qing frowned slightly and looked at Tingyu.
Not to be outdone, Tingyu raised her head, her beautiful and refined face, stared at Xu Qing with big eyes like the moon and stars, her beautiful eyes swept across his height and face, and suddenly said.
"I see, you've grown taller."
"Yeah." Xu Qing nodded, avoiding Tingyu and wanting to leave, but Tingyu swayed and stopped again, with some curiosity in her bright eyes.
"Child, your face is dirty every day. I don't even know what you look like. Today you have changed again. No, I want to wipe it for you and see what you look like."
Tingyu said, took out the handkerchief, and was about to start.
Xu Qing repelled it, and Tingyu snorted just as her body was about to retreat.
"Child, I'll help you ask for leave, it's a favor!"
Xu Qing moved for a while, and by the moment he paused, Tingyu's body arrived instantly, and the handkerchief in his hand was moistened with psychic energy, and gently wiped on Xu Qing's face.
The cheeks that were wiped off instantly revealed pure white skin, Xu Qing was impatient and was about to forcibly leave.
"Child, I'm your senior sister!" Tingyu shouted again, and the word senior sister was obviously very heavy, causing Xu Qing's body to freeze.
Tingyu's eyes were curved like crescent moons, hiding aura and cunning. This time, she was faster, and wiped Xu Qing's face with a handkerchief.
Although Xu Qing strongly rejected it in his heart, the word "Senior Sister" prevented him from dodging in the end.
In this way, as Tingyu wiped, Xu Qing's face slowly revealed.
And Tingyu's movements gradually slowed down, her eyes widened, she stared blankly at Xu Qing's face, and for some reason, sunshine appeared in her mind.
Xu Qing's face was clean for the first time in six years, which made him extremely uncomfortable. While Tingyu stayed there, he immediately bypassed and quickly got out of the tent.
The sun shone on his face, Xu Qing's discomfort was even stronger, and there was a feeling of walking outside naked.
So he lowered his head, picked up the mud on the ground, and smeared it on his face. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, recovered his indifference, and walked towards the restricted area.
It was not until he left that Tingyu in the tent exhaled a long breath and whispered.
"Well, it looks pretty good."
As she spoke, she subconsciously lifted the door of the tent and looked at Xu Qing's retreating back. The elegant and graceful face was slightly red, and the deer looked around.
"It looks much better than Chen Feiyuan, no, Chen Feiyuan can't compare with him at all."
