The morning sun was reflected on the black forbidden sea, reflecting a gloomy halo, and under the blue sky, the French ship went away.
Xu Qing raised his head and watched for a long time, until he could not see the French ship in sight, then he looked away.
Ever since Huang Yan came to Yinghuangzhou, he felt very uncomfortable, and it was reasonable to leave. Xu Qing respected Huangyan's choice and wished him and his second senior sister a better future in Nanhuangzhou.
"I wish you all the best." Xu Qing murmured softly, turned and left the port, and went all the way to the mountain gate of the Seven Blood Boy.
He is going to pay homage to Liu Ye.
He was supposed to go there yesterday, but was brought into the Mystic Snake Realm by Zixuan Shangxian.
Now walking on the steps of the mountain gate, facing the wind, and listening to the rustling of the big trees planted inside the mountain gate in the wind, Xu Qing felt very calm.
In the early morning of the sect, most of the disciples were doing early training, and there were bursts of chants echoing in the distance, which was caused by the transformation of the Seven Blood Boys after coming to the alliance.
I started to cultivate my mind.
Xu Qing also came back this time, and he only found out about it during yesterday's banquet.
The act of cultivating the mind was proposed by Qi Ye, and it has recently been popularized in the entire sect.
This matter has also caused many disciples to be surprised. After all, before this, everyone only practiced spells and did not cultivate their hearts.
Xu Qing was thoughtful, because judging from the timing, it seemed that this was Master's behavior after studying the god's test body.
With thoughts, Xu Qing walked down the steps to the back mountain.
All the disciples I met along the way were extremely respectful when they saw him, and they stopped to pay respects to him from a distance.
Not long after, Xu Qing saw a grave in the bamboo forest behind Seven Blood Boy.
There are tributes in front of the grave, and there are burning incense birds.
There were two middle-aged monks staring silently at the inscription on the tombstone.
Xu Qing has met these two people before, they are disciples of Liu Ye.
They also noticed Xu Qing's arrival, looked back at him, and greeted each other with clasped fists, "Xu Qing, congratulations on becoming a sword holder."
Xu Qing walked over silently, cupping his fists in return.
"The two of us were ordered to go out, and before we left, we came here to pay homage to our master. Alas, the world is impermanent, and a year has passed in a blink of an eye."
"Junior Brother Xu, we will not disturb you to come to pay respects. Let's leave." The two sighed and didn't say much.
"I wish you two senior brothers a smooth journey." Xu Qing confirmed with a look, and bowed his mouth.
The two waved their hands, their expressions remained dark, and they stepped away.
Although the dead are gone and the living are like this, there will still be some moments that will cause waves in the heart.
Xu Qing stood in front of Liu Ye's grave, took out two jugs of wine, poured one jug on the grave soil, put the other jug to his mouth and drank a big gulp, did not speak, just drank. The wind from the mountains and the light from the sky blended together and flowed continuously into the world. After an hour, Xu Qing stood up. "Master Liu, next time I come back to see you, I'll bring you a few candle-lit heads to drink with."
After finishing speaking, Xu Qing bowed deeply to the tombstone. May heaven and earth be safe together.
Xu Qing turned around and left the back mountain. He didn't go out of the mountain gate, but planned to find Master.
He has a lot of questions to ask his master, such as the changes in the Ghost Emperor Mountain in his own knowledge, such as the sword-wielding great elder Taoist altar, who said that spiritual plants may be the direction of studying gods when he explained the vegetation.
With such thoughts in mind, Xu Qing walked in the mountain gate, and during the period, he also sent a sound transmission to see his master. Qi Ye told him to go to the attic on the top of the mountain.
After knowing where the master was, Xu Qing quickened his pace, and when he was walking towards the attic on the top of the mountain, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he looked at the mountain path in front of him.
A familiar voice came from there.
"Little one, you're lucky to meet me. Your uncle Ding Xiaohai has a bad temper. Could you be the one who contradicted me? If I hadn't passed by on the way out, he could have slapped you with just one slap."
"In Zongmen from now on, you want to listen to me, you know?"
"Well, I listen to your Uncle Ding." A shy and slight voice came along with Ding Xue's words.
Soon, Ding Xue, with her ponytail upright, a heroic figure, and an ancient sword on her back, appeared in Xu Qing's eyes.
She was posing as a senior, and beside her was a little boy about ten years old.
The little boy was cleanly dressed, and so was his little face.
At this moment he nodded politely, but the next moment he noticed Xu Qing before Ding Xue did, and the moment he saw Xu Qing, his complexion suddenly changed.
Obviously showing fear and apprehension, his body paused, and he instinctively hid behind Ding Xue.
Ding Xue was surprised, and then saw Xu Qing in the distance, her eyes lit up immediately, she quickly left the little boy and ran towards Xu Qing alone.
All the heroic postures before this moment were replaced by surprises.
"Brother Xu Qing, I'm going to look for you. I was still retreating when you came back yesterday. Look, I've almost reached sixty Dharma Apertures, and I'm about to start the second fire of life!"
"But I haven't forgotten, I will work harder." When Ding Xue saw Xu Qing, there was a strange light in her eyes, and she was full of joy.
"Brother Xu Qing, you have something to do when you go up the mountain."
A smile appeared on Xu Qing's face, and at the same time, the opponent's cultivation base improved so fast. You must know that Ding Xue had just completed a ball of life fire on the way back from Ghost Emperor Mountain more than a year ago.
But thinking about Qi Ye once said that girls should be rich, Xu Qing probably understood the reason.
"Very good." Xu Qing gave a heartfelt praise and told himself that he was going to see the master. Hearing Xu Qing praise herself, Ding Xue's heart beat faster, her little face flushed slightly, and her little face was brimming with happiness.
Xu Qing's eyes fell behind Ding Xue, looking at the restless little boy in the distance.
The little boy stayed where he was, and it was hard to say whether to leave or stay. At this moment, his face was timid, and fear arose in his heart.
He was really afraid of Xu Qing.
Although Xu Qing had given him the token to come to Seven Blood Boy, the words Xu Qing said before leaving that day let him know that the other party had seen everything about him. Especially in Xu Qing's body, he had felt the power of repression before, but when he looked at it now, the power of repression was already extremely strong.
Others may not be able to see it, but he is different, he perceives it very clearly, it is the coercion of Ghost Emperor Mountain.
This little boy was exactly the strange person whom Qi Ye took a fancy to when he and Ding Xue lived in the small town under Ghost Emperor Mountain.
"Brother Xu Qing, you still remember him, the little boy in the small town." Noticing Xu Qing's gaze, Ding Xue smiled and said. "Wang Ling, why don't you come over and pay a visit to your Uncle Xu." Ding Xue glared at the little boy.
The little boy suppressed his panic, stepped forward with numbness, and greeted Xu Qing with a trembling voice.
"Master Xu is good."
Xu Qing's expression was calm, and he checked the situation. He knew that the child had been at the gate of the mountain for several months, and he had been at the foot of the mountain during that time.
Today was going up the mountain to exchange for the Dharma boat, but Ding Xiaohai was disgusted for some reason, and Ding Xue saw it passing by when he was leaving the customs, and helped him out.
"I saw Ding Xuehai looking at him with some strange eyes, as if he was going to swallow him. I don't know why, so I helped."
The smile on Ding Xue's face was still loving, but she secretly told Xu Qing via voice transmission.
Although she looks cute and virtuous in front of Xu Qing, she is actually extremely elf, with a delicate heart, not to mention scheming and observation skills.
"Brother Xu Qing, hurry up and pay your respects to the master. I'll look for you later, and I'll send Xiao Wang Ling down the mountain first." Ding Xue said with a smile.
Xu Qing nodded and walked towards it.
The little boy beside Ding Xue was looking sideways at Xu Qing's figure, with envy in his eyes. He thought of what Xu Qing said to him that day, so he couldn't help but speak softly.
"Big Brother... Ah, Uncle Xu, what you said to me that day..."
"Work hard, and you will achieve it." Xu Qing turned around, glanced at the little boy, and nodded.
The little boy took a deep breath, nodded in the same way, and followed Ding Xue away with Ding Xue's smile.
He wanted to be human, a real human, and that was the only reason he came to the Seventh Blood Boy.
After a stick of incense, Xu Qing's figure came from the attic on the top of the Seven Blood Boy Mountain Gate, and at a glance, he saw the serious-faced master and the middle-aged servant beside him, and the two were playing chess.
It's just that compared to Qi Ye's seriousness, this middle-aged servant Xu Qing is familiar with has a relaxed expression on his face.
After seeing Xu Qing, the middle-aged servant was about to stand up to pay respects, Xu Qing took a step forward and bowed his head, cupping his fists and bowing.
The middle-aged servant showed a smile on his face, and got up to return the salute.
Qiye on the side flicked his sleeves at this moment, messed up the chess and cards, and spoke lightly.
"You bet too badly. I let you play so many bets, but you still lost."
"Fourth brother, come and play chess with me." The middle-aged servant smiled wryly, and the station master stood aside.
Xu Qing walked over as usual, tidied up the messed up chess and cards, and started playing chess.
It's just that his chess skills are very ordinary, so as he continued to play, Qi Ye showed a smile on his face.
"Fourth, your heart is restless, and the chess is full of emotions. From your move, I can see that you have something on your mind."
"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Master."
Xu Qing looked into Qi Ye's eyes, and said seriously, automatically ignoring that he had said that he had something to ask when he was transmitting the voice on the jade slip.
The middle-aged servant at the side saw that the master and the apprentice had something to say, so he stepped back and waved his hands to seal off the surrounding area, sitting cross-legged outside by himself.
"Let's talk." Qi Ye picked up the chess pieces in satisfaction, and played with them in his hands.
"Master, there has been a little change in the Ghost Emperor Mountain in my body." Xu Qing took a deep breath, and the label was solemn.
"What change?" Qi Ye said lightly, just as the chess piece was about to fall.
"It becomes what I am."
With a jingle, the chess piece fell from Master Qi's hand onto the chessboard. He raised his head and looked at Xu Qing blankly.
"What did you say?"
