Outside of Time

Chapter 58: a person's birthday

Views:

At this moment, the night wind is blowing, and the sea water flows, gently patted around the Wu Peng boat, squeezing out a lot of gray-black foam along the hull.

It also made the boat shake slightly, making a creaking sound.

Inside Wu Peng, Xu Qing earnestly concocted alchemy.

As the herbs were taken out by him, they either picked the leaves, squeezed the juice, or cored, and they were cooked with ease. Gradually, in the stone bowl, there were more and more medicinal liquids.

After checking the proportions and adjusting it, Xu Qing began to put in the horse chestnut. Just like that, when midnight came, Xu Qing carefully dripped the juice of the congealing leaves into the black medicinal liquid.

Bursts of screeching sounds came out, and more green smoke was released, which was dispersed by Xu Qing's sleeves. The medicinal liquid in the stone bowl immediately turned into a white semi-solid, and the inside was faintly revealed. A touch of light.

One-time success.

After careful inspection, Xu Qing took out these medicinal liquids, kneaded them one by one, turned them into medicinal pills, and set them aside to dry in the shade. Looking at these medicinal medicinals, his eyes showed satisfaction.

"Finally refining Bai Dan!"

Xu Qing murmured, and the scenes of studying with Master Bai appeared in his mind, and the picture of the scavenger camp was also reflected in his mind.

All of this made the young man's heart slowly become restless on this special day.

After a while, Xu Qing sighed softly and looked overboard, it was pitch black.

Only the high-hanging moon, reflected in the sea, sparkling.

The surroundings were silent, the sea breeze blew, and there was a hint of coolness in the dampness, which made his hair flutter.

"Master Bai should have returned to the purple soil long ago."

"Cross and Luanya, I don't know what to do now..."

"And in front of Thunder Team's grave, will there be weeds..." Xu Qing whispered softly.

"And I haven't found the Destiny Flower yet."

Even if he is used to loneliness, even if he is used to the new environment, Xu Qing is only a teenager after all. He sat there silently, and in his memory, he returned to the residence of the scavenger camp, eating snake meat with a familiar old man. .

Listening to what the other party said about the trivial things in the scavenger camp, watching the other party smoking a cigarette and drinking wine.

The picture of memory is very clear.

Xu Qing's eyes dropped slightly.

"The teacher in the slum said that when a person starts to recall the past, it means his age is growing..." Xu Qing murmured, taking out a jug of wine from his leather bag.

It was bought during his daytime inspections.

Holding the jug, Xu Qing looked up at the bright moon in the sky, slowly lifted it up for a long time, bowed slightly to this bright moon, and drank it in one gulp.

From a distance, the young man on the boat, a cup of respect for the bright moon, and a cup of drinking alone.

The wine in the main city was stronger than the scavenger camp. It was hot in the mouth. It melted into the abdomen as if there was a flame, burning the whole body, causing Xu Qing to breathe slightly, and after a while, he took a big sip again.

"I wish Lei Team, in the spirit of the sky, a good journey all the way."

"I wish Master Bai, good health and a long life."

"Happy birthday to myself too..."

Xu Qing murmured and drank again.

Today is a special day, it's his birthday.

It seems that Xu Qing, who is sixteen or seventeen years old, has just turned fifteen at the moment, but compared with other peers who have grown up safely, his experience has forced him to mature.

But today, like this day every year for many years, he is alone, silently blessing himself.

Only this year, more wine.

So, after drinking a pot, Xu Qing thought of his relatives.

The memory of them, even if he tried very hard to remember, it was still Mohu. This kind of Mohu made Xu Qing very uncomfortable. He didn't want to Mohu, but... some things were out of control.

For a long time, for a long time.

"You guys, how are you..." Xu Qing lowered her head and said.

The sea breeze blew up his hair, blowing it on his face, blowing everything away, the shade of coolness gradually pulled Xu Qing back from his memories, making his eyes sharp again, and the expression on his face again. indifferent.

"Live."

"If I could live better, if I could still have the opportunity to see my parents... it would be even better."

"So, I want to become stronger!" Xu Qing slowly raised his head, the young man in the moonlight looked like a lone wolf, staring into the distance.

After a while, he turned around and walked back to the cabin, sat down with his knees crossed, and began to practice.

time flies.

After his birthday, Xu Qing's life was on the right track. In the next few days, in addition to inspections every day, he was alchemy and cultivation.

Although the cultivation of the Sea Transformation Sutra was blessed with spirit stones, the cultivation has gradually slowed down, and now it has just broken through from the sixth floor to the seventh floor.

The further forward, the slower the cultivation, but this is only a relative term. In fact, compared with other people, Xu Qing's cultivation speed has been extremely amazing.

At the same time, after Hua Hai Jing reached the seventh floor, Xu Qing could clearly feel that his combat power was almost the difference between heaven and earth. Within ten breaths, behead directly.

Although there is still a gap compared with the ancestors of the King Kong Sect, Xu Qing is also sure to deal with him directly.

"When I get stronger, I will kill the ancestor of the King Kong Sect." Xu Qing had a thorn in his heart and was always uneasy. He felt that although the other party was due to the rules of the Seven Bloods, he could not deal with him personally. But killing someone with a knife is inevitable, so he must improve his cultivation as soon as possible to get rid of this threat.

In addition, Xu Qing's research here in Fazhou is also very thorough. After analyzing the content of the jade slip very comprehensively, after fully understanding it, his control of Fazhou has also reached an extremely flexible level.

As for the direction, he also made a decision and chose to be firm!

He wants to start from the strength and protection to improve the level of the ark. The reason for this is that on the one hand, the improvement of the strength and protection is not easy to wear and tear, and if it is not worn, it means that it does not need to be repaired and the cost is reduced.

On the other hand, in this dangerous Seven-Blood Boys main city, the Dharma ark is Xu Qing's only relatively safe place. He needs such a place to practice, rest, and alchemy.

Therefore, such places must also have adequate protection.

At the same time, in terms of medicinal pills, Xu Qing has also refined a lot these days. This is the case with white pills, and the same is true for black pills.

According to the previous method, he not only refined black pills, but also refined many poisonous powders that he had used before.

And every time he made alchemy, Xu Qing was extremely focused. Herbal pharmacology was a survival skill he learned very seriously at the beginning. He cherished what he had learned and had already carved it into his bones.

As for the remaining herbs after each refining, they were carefully sorted and placed in the cabin, which made his Wu Peng boat densely packed with various types of herbs.

Among them, the poisonous erysipelas powder, because there are many people in the main city, it is inconvenient for him to try to introduce new ones, so Xu Qing has never made new poisons, but he has accumulated a lot of materials.

"Deceiving Kangxi"

He plans to find an opportunity to go out and find a hidden place to refine together.

As for the work of the arresting division, as Xu Qing went there for several days, he gradually became familiar with it. The whole arresting division was still searching for Yejiu's stronghold these days, and a large number of clues were reported every day.

Xu Qing could feel that Si Li was not far from closing the net.

Today, it was not the day when he was on duty at night, but Xu Qing chose to apply for it and replaced it with someone.

The responsibilities of the arresting division include night patrols, and every disciple will take their turn, but whenever they are on duty at night, everyone will be extremely vigilant.

So, when the sky was getting dark outside, Xu Qing tidied up his clothes, put the poison powder in the pocket of his sleeve, placed the dagger and iron stick, and walked out of the dharma boat.

The sun has set outside, and the evening is about to dissipate. The earth has lost its light in the shadow of the sky. Drops of rain are slowly falling on the main city.

Xu Qing's figure was walking in the dark, and in this rain, the whole person seemed to merge with the night and galloped forward.

At this moment, the wind blows and falls on Xu Qing's robe, making a rustling sound. The wind is icy cold, and taking a breath is very refreshing.

It also dissipated the hot flashes in the city, but some special smells in the air could not be dissipated.

As he galloped, his clean boots stepped on the bluestone slabs sprinkled by the rain, making a series of rapid towering sounds. From a distance, it seemed that every step he took, the water stains on the ground would ripple like flowers, as if Step by step lotus.

Soon the sky was completely dark and the rain was heavier. Xu Qing's figure swept across alleys and closed shops, avoiding some killing scenes until midnight, when he came to Banquan Road.

Looking at the open inn in the distance, in the rain, Xu Qing stood in a corner under the eaves, waiting silently.

A few days ago, his informant had mentioned a wanted criminal named Qing Yunzi.

The wanted jade slip stated that this person was born in the Qingyun Sect, a small sect attached to the purple earth. Slaughtered many villages, raped and plundered.

But Xu Qing did not choose to arrest him because he had no grudge against him.

In this cruel and troubled world, everyone has their own way of living, and Xu Qing can't control that much.

But the other party did something wrong.

Xu Qing's informant should have appeared in the busy city where the two met for the second time two days ago, to find him to detoxify, but until today, he has not shown up.

So Xu Qing went to look for it during the day.

Although the wind was strong, it could not disperse the unique smell of poisonous powder on the spirit coins, so Xu Qing easily found the woman's residence, and also saw the traces of fighting in her. Following the traces of poisonous powder, he found This inn.

After waiting for an afternoon, he saw someone with a strong smell of poisonous powder entering the inn.

The appearance of the other party is consistent with that on the wanted jade slip, and it is Qing Yunzi.

Therefore, today Xu Qing changed the night shift with others, came here, and waited silently.

Your own informant, naturally, you have to take care of yourself.
