Outside of Time - Chapter 568

[Chapter 556 There is a lie called hope]
The so-called fire in the sky is a unique climate change in the Moon Festival.
There are different opinions on the principle of its formation. Some people say that it is caused by the tide of the power of the red moon, because the closer the arrival of the red moon, the more frequent the sky fire will pass through the sky.
Some people also said that the master who was killed by Hongyue Town is returning.
And whenever the sky fire appears across the sky, the entire Moon Sacrifice area will be brightly lit up, and the sky will be filled with flames, rising from the east until covering the entire sky.
The farther it is to the east, the more intense the light and heat, and at the same time, there are varying degrees of rain of fire.
It will take several months for the sea of fire in the sky to return and fall into the sea of fire in the east again. This is considered a cycle.
During this process, the entire eastern part of the Moon Sacrifice Region, except for small altars and other places, will be burned in the rain of fire.
Whether it is a city or a plant, most of them will become fly ash.
This is also the reason why most of the cities in the land of the alliance between the two races are made of clay and rough. Only their common holy city can barely bear it under the blessing of the power of the two races and with some special methods. But it is also inevitable to be damaged.
Every time the sky fire returns, rebuilding begins, and the soil must be refurbished to dispel the poison of fire. This is the source of common food cultivation.
Fortunately, the fire in the sky often occurs once every few decades, and it is not too frequent. The destruction is mainly in the east, and the other areas are not seriously affected. It is not difficult for monks to rebuild with magic.
Ordinary clansmen need to find a way to enter the holy city to take refuge before then, but this will cost a lot of money. If they don’t have the conditions…they can only hide underground.
Use the physique they have formed to adapt to the fire from generation to generation to avoid the fire.
This is also the reason why Xu Qing saw the border guards, they were all hiding in the ground, they wanted to complete their own decomposition before the arrival of the sky fire, so that they could become one with the soil in the ground.
The Tianmian family also has a similar method.
It’s just that these methods are all evolved by them to adapt to this place, and Xu Qing doesn’t have them.
At the moment where he was underground, the surrounding area was extremely hot, the soil began to crystallize, the high temperature pervaded, and a strong sense of discomfort also surfaced in Xu Qing’s heart.
“It’s almost approaching the temperature of the surface of the magma, and this is just the beginning…”
Xu Qing was sweating on his forehead, his body was sticky, and the water gradually couldn’t be locked in his body, which made him faintly feel uncomfortable, and he moved deeper into the earth go away.
It didn’t feel better until it reached a certain range, but the warning from the crisis of the mind and the uneasiness of the mosasaurus was still strong.
So he didn’t take back his consciousness and paid close attention to the outside world.
In his perception, the outer sky was glaring with flames, and the magma was rolling on the sky, and following the handshake of the pair of severed hands, it seemed to be driven away, spreading continuously.
At the same time, a large amount of fire rain fell, and many mountain peaks began to melt, becoming more and more irregular.
The world and the ground are filled with endless flames, thick smoke billowing, and scorching heat.
According to Xu Qing’s judgment, its horror is comparable to the scorching heat of himself within a foot of magma.
“I can’t go on like this!”
The sense of crisis in Xu Qing’s heart became stronger, and he looked deeper into the earth, his eyes revealing his thoughts.
It is not impossible to continue, but after all, there is a limit to oneself. After all, there is a squeezing force in the land of Wanggu Continent. If Xu Qing sinks too deep, it will be difficult for him to bear it.
“Especially I don’t know if the sky fire will spread deeper… If the power of its spread exceeds the limit of my sinking, it will be a Jedi for me.” Xu Qing weighed in his heart, he could feel that this is the sky
fire The first day was bound to be even more terrifying after that.
So Xu Qing quickly took out a jade slip.
Inside this jade slip is a simple map, which was given by the human race old man Duan Muzang before he left, and it was also the place where he told Xu Qingtian that Huo was coming, and that if he really had nowhere to go, he could come to the place where the map was located.
After Xu Qing pondered, he decided to go and have a look first. If it really didn’t work, he would go underground to gamble, or leave the
two-clan alliance at full speed and stay away from the fire source.
Thinking of this, he shook his body and went straight to the ground.
He didn’t choose to escape deep underground, so the speed was relatively slow. At this moment, his body entered the high temperature. The closer to the ground, the more terrifying the temperature.
When the soil broke through and appeared on the ground, Xu Qing’s body was covered with burn scars.
The pain spread.
The temperature between the sky and the earth has exceeded the scorching heat of the magma, even if Xu Qing’s body is good, he has recovered, but the pain of being burned is still strong.
The most important thing is that even if Xu Qing had the blessing of the Rishu Fate Lamp, he couldn’t bear the attack of this piece of sky fire on the soul for too long.
This is also the reason why he was unable to refine for a long time in the sea of fire.
The physical body is on the one hand, and the soul is on the other hand.
Especially compared to the physical body, Xu Qing’s spirit is more fragile.
“It can’t be too long!” Xu Qing breathed hot air, which seemed to be burning inside and outside his body.
Without any hesitation, he rushed out, and while galloping through the sea of fire, he also took out the umbrella that Duanmuzang gave him, and after propping it up, the temperature was isolated.
Xu Qing’s body was relaxed, and his speed was faster.
As he roared, he set off a storm, and wherever he passed, flames roared.
In this way, two days later, the outside temperature became even more astonishing, all he could see was a sea of flames, blurred and distorted, his consciousness was also cut off, and his umbrella was showing signs of collapse at this moment.
Fortunately, the place marked by the jade slip has appeared in the distance.
There didn’t seem to be anything unusual there, it was supposed to be a collapsed abandoned mine, but now it was melting more and more in the sea of flames, without any trace of survival.
Xu Qing came quickly, swept around, and frowned.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like you can take refuge here. Even if you can enter the mine pit inside through some gaps, the heat radiating from it is no less than that from the outside.
“It’s a pity that the spiritual consciousness is isolated, and the range of dispersion is not large, so it is difficult to perceive more.”
Xu Qing pondered, glanced at his umbrella that was about to collapse, and then looked at the mine pit.
“However, based on the performance of Duanmu hiding in the sea of fire, if it is really a hiding place, it makes sense. After all, if it is seen casually, it can’t be regarded as a hiding place.
” Entering through the gap of the abandoned mine in front, as soon as you step in, the fiery force hits your face.
Xu Qing kept silent, kept vigilant, and continued to move forward. He was going to go a certain distance to see the situation.
After walking for an hour, the mine hadn’t reached the end yet, and the fiery power was still strong. When Xu Qing frowned, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked up into the distance.
Vaguely, he saw a figure lying there – motionless.
You can’t see a man or a woman, but you can only see that the other party seems to be wearing thick armor, and there is an open umbrella next to it to block the high temperature.
This was the only figure Xu Qing saw after the fire passed through the sky, so he squinted his eyes, and the shadows spread out to cover him first, until he felt some emotional fluctuations, Xu Qing was a little surprised, and went straight towards him.
In an instant, he was in front of this figure.
Even though the perception is relatively isolated from this distance, Xu Qing still has some exploration.
This is a cultivator of the human race, whose cultivation base is building a foundation and three fires. He is already dying at this moment and is about to die.
He is wearing black armor all over his body, all parts are covered, and the material of this armor is also very special, which can insulate high temperature to a certain extent.
The umbrella on the side also caught Xu Qing’s attention.
This umbrella is exactly the same as the one given by Duanmu Zang.
Xu Qing thoughtfully, looked up at the depths of the mine, raised his hand to grab the figure, and continued walking.
Just like that, after another half an hour, Xu Qing finally arrived at the end of the pit, where there was nothing, the surrounding soil crystallized, and the high temperature gathered made the place even hotter.
Standing here
, Xu Qing looked around and suddenly spoke.
“Senior, I picked up this person on the road, is he here to look for you?”
As soon as Xu Qing spoke, a cold voice came from inside the wall.
“It’s useless for people who don’t follow the rules!”
Even so, the wall on the side twisted and turned into a whirlpool. The figure of Duan Muzang walked out from inside, raised his right hand, and lifted the human race that Xu Qing picked up. , grabbed it from the air.
Xu Qing let go, and the armored human youth went straight to the whirlpool, was caught by Duanmuzang, threw him behind him, and then looked up at Xu Qing.
“Boy, what are you doing here?”
After a few contacts, Xu Qing came to some judgments about the old man’s actions and knowingly asking questions, so he didn’t say anything about the jade slips the other party gave him, but went straight to the point.
“—God, one hundred spirit stones!”
The old man snorted coldly.
“One thousand a day!”
“Deal!”
Xu Qing nodded.
The old man glanced at Xu Qing, and took a few steps back.
Xu Qing squinted his eyes, and the poison in his body was dispersed. After preparing for an explosion in case of an ambush, he took a step and went straight to the whirlpool.
As he stepped in, his figure disappeared, and the vortex quickly dissipated, as usual.
On the other side of the wall, when Xu Qing appeared, he was already in a crypt, surrounded by many mutilated statues, some without heads and some with missing limbs.
Other than that, the entire crypt was empty.
As for the human youth, he was nowhere to be seen, only Duanmuzang sat cross-legged on the neck of a headless statue in the distance, staring at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing quickly looked around, felt behind him again, and then his eyes froze.
At the entrance behind him was a huge wall on which stood thousands of masks and a similar number of mirrors.
These masks were all refined by special techniques after the death of the Tianmian tribe, and the same is true for the mirrors.
The mask of the Tianmian Clan who wanted to attack Xu Qing at the beginning was also in it.
“These two groups, in order to adapt to this place, have evolved a lot of abilities from generation to generation. Using them to block the sea of fire, combined with some special methods and the layout here, can avoid the sky fire to a certain extent.” The old man said lightly, with a
voice Some proud.
“Heavenly fire passes through the sky, usually lasts for a hundred days, one thousand a day, one hundred days is two hundred thousand spirit stones, bring it here.” Green eyebrows raised, glanced at the
old man, and spoke seriously.
“One hundred days is one hundred thousand.”
“One hundred thousand for one person, and you have a snake. Isn’t that two hundred thousand!” The old man glared.
“I don’t have so many spirit stones.”
Xu Qing said truthfully, he had many spirit tickets, but he didn’t have many spirit stones on his body, so he took out a magic weapon and put it aside.
“Offset with this thing.”
The old man glanced at it, raised his hand to grab it, and nodded.
“Alright.”
After he finished speaking, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and his tone was chilling, and he spoke slowly.
“I’m only helping you this time because you are a human race, but listen carefully, outside of this grotto is a restricted area, if you trespass…don’t blame me for not thinking of human race!” Xu Qing nodded upon hearing this
.
The old man gave Xu Qing a meaningful look, turned around and disappeared into the grotto.
Xu Qing looked as usual. After checking around, he was sure that there was no obstacle here. He also saw that the statues were very old. There were no human races inside, but dragons and snakes surrounded them, revealing killing.
Although they are all incomplete, looking at it as a whole, it seems that when these statues are complete, they are all in a state of worship, and this place is inherently cold, more like a tomb.
“Could it be that this was a cemetery?”
Xu Qing found a statue thoughtfully, and when he sat cross-legged, Ling’er came out from his neckline, looked around, and spoke softly.
“Brother Xu Qing, this seems to be related to our ancient spirit clan.”
Xu Qing’s heart moved, and he looked at Ling’er.
Ling’er looked around carefully and whispered.
“Brother Xu Qing, those statues are indeed the gods of the ancient spirit clan. Our clan was a snake when we were young, and we took human form when we were adults. If our blood is strong, we will be accompanied by heavenly dragons after our cultivation breaks through the shackles. The law does not invade.”
“Look at the specifications here, it is the tomb of a sage of our family.” ”
Generally speaking, the tombs of our family contain multiple layers. Brother Xu Qing, there should be a larger tomb below this. This is only the first floor.”
“I can feel that the restriction of the cemetery itself is still there. Brother Xu Qing, I should be able to open the entrance to the next floor.” Linger said happily, she felt that she could finally help Brother Xu Qing.
Hearing this, Xu Qing looked around carefully, then patted Ling’er’s head, and said softly.
“There’s no need to open it. Since the current owner doesn’t want us to bother, we’ll just wait for the fire to end here and leave.”
Xu Qing is a person who knows how to measure. Since the two parties are trading, unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise, he is willing. Follow the rules of the trade.
Ling’er was thoughtful, she felt that brother Xu Qing’s approach was different from her father’s, so she remembered this matter and was going to learn it.
Time flies, half a month has passed.
The sky fire outside is becoming more and more terrifying. It burns the world, everything ceases to exist, and all living beings tremble.
From afar, it looks like the wrath of the gods, shocking.
The roaring sound surpassed the sky thunder even more, the entire sea of fire sank too much, most of the magma inside was sucked into the sky, and the severed hand was gone.
In the mine pit, in the tomb of the ancient spirit clan, Xu Qing kept his promise and did not leave the grotto for half a step. He was still practicing, and Duanmuzang never appeared again, everything was safe and sound.
Ling’er is also very well-behaved, and she didn’t go to explore deeper. For her, as long as she is with Brother Xu Qing, everything is extremely satisfying.
Only occasionally, she would feel a little useless.
“I also want to quickly digest the luck power of the ancient spirit royal family in my body, so as to speed up the promotion of blood.” Ling’er thought so in her heart, and she was also doing the same.
And Xu Qing’s practice here was interrupted by a visitor on the seventeenth day.
Following the ground of a grotto, shining with the light of the formation, a cautious figure quickly walked out from the inside.
It wasn’t Duanmuzang, but a human youth in a green shirt.
Xu Qing opened his eyes, and recognized this person as the comatose person he rescued half a month ago. The person was still weak at the moment, but he was fine.
Obviously the armor is very useful, and Duanmuzang must also treat this person.
It’s just that the fire poison on his body is difficult to disperse, and many places have been burned and withered, blood red, and the skin cannot regenerate, which is a bit hideous.
When Xu Qing looked at it, the young man of the human race was full of apprehension. He walked a few steps quickly and knelt down to Xu Qing.
“Junior Shi Pangui, thank you senior for saving my life!”
Xu Qing looked at the human youth a few times. His name was a bit strange, but he didn’t ask any more questions and spoke calmly.
“It’s nothing, even if I don’t make a move, Senior Duanmu will save you.” The
human youth was still bowing, and after three kowtows to Xu Qing, he stood up and looked at Xu Qing, and said nervously.
“In any case, it was the senior who came to the rescue, and this junior will remember it in my heart.”
He said, he took out a food box from his arms and put it aside.
“The younger generation knows that the senior has a high level of cultivation, and the younger generation doesn’t have anything valuable. This is some food made by my wife. Thank you, senior!” After the human youth finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to Xu Qing again, then stepped back respectfully and returned to the formation
. In the Fa, it disappears.
Xu Qing looked at the food box, which contained some cooked pastries, exuding a fragrance, very delicate, and it looked like it was carefully prepared.
With Xu Qing’s attainments in the way of poison, one can tell whether it is poisonous by smelling it or not. At this moment, he sensed that there is no problem. He raised his hand to pick it up and saw Ling’er swallowing, so he took a bite himself, and after
verifying it one piece.
Ling’er ate it in one bite, her eyes narrowed.
“Gulu Gulu.”
Obviously the taste is good, so Ling’er couldn’t help but let out the voice of her childhood.
Seeing that Linger likes Xu Qing, she smiled and gave it to Linger.
Then close your eyes and continue to meditate.
Time passed day by day, and in the following days, Shi Pangui came many times, each time with food, respectfully,
Several times he hesitated to speak, but in the end he couldn’t hold back, his eyes showed eagerness, and asked Xu Qing about the human race in the outer domain.
“Senior, I heard from the old lord that you are from an outland? What is it like outside… our human race…?”
Shi Pangui looked nervous, and even more expectant.
In his whole life, he couldn’t leave the Moon Sacrifice Dayu, and he was doomed from the moment he was born, but when he was very young, the people around him told him about the glory and strength of his race.
It’s just that what he sees is that the human race is humble and is the ration of foreigners.
All kinds of misery, all kinds of sadness, and all kinds of things made his heart shake and feel at a loss.
In fact, the answer or not, can not change his status quo, but he wants an answer.
He wanted to know if the human race outside was really full of brilliance and beauty as the old people told him.
This will become his inner support and pride.
Xu Qing stared at the human youth in front of him, and was silent for a while.
His silence caused the light in Shi Pangui’s eyes to gradually dim.
“The human races outside live and work in peace and contentment. They live a good life and there are not many disputes. Everything is beautiful, and the human emperor of this generation is even more talented. Some time ago, they fought against the Heitian clan and won a big victory.” “As for the foreign race
, You have to bow your head in front of my human race. Either you choose to become a subordinate clan, or you will be wiped out.” ”
And here in Jiyue Dayu, the Human Sovereign is also concerned that everything is getting better.”
Xu Qing’s face showed Opened with a smile.
His words and his smile made Shi Pangui’s eyes light up, his breathing quickened, and his heart was extremely excited.
“I knew it was!”
“Zhou Wangbei was arguing with me yesterday, saying that the human race is extremely humble outside, and I said it was impossible. My human race is noble in blood, and the sacrifice of the moon is due to helplessness, and our race was once unified. It must be brilliant outside!”
“Thank you senior!”
Shi Pangui cheered up, bowed to Xu Qing, and left with excitement, he wanted to go back and tell his Taoist companions, family and friends about these things.
Xu Qing watched the other party’s figure disappear, and sighed softly in his heart.
He understood the reason for the other party’s name, looking forward to returning, that was looking forward to the glorious return of the human race.
Looking north, it is because the imperial capital of the human race, Dayu, is in the north.
In fact, Xu Qing had already guessed about the lower level of the cemetery through contact these days.
There should be a group of human races there, and the king they talk about is Duanmuzang.
He sheltered some human races so that they could avoid the suffering outside and live here.
And this is also the reason why the other party warned him not to leave this place.
Respect rose in Xu Qing’s heart, he stood up and looked behind him, cupped his fists in the distance, and bowed down.
As he bowed down, Duanmuzang’s blurred figure appeared on a statue in the distance. He looked at the place where Shi Pangui left, and then at Xu Qing, and remained silent.
After a while, his voice was a little hoarse, echoing in the grotto.
“Thank you.”
“Did the human race outside really win the battle?” Duanmuzang looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing nodded seriously.
“Shenglan Dayu now belongs to the human race, and the human race has its own domain treasure.”
Duanmuzang took a step and arrived at Xu Qing’s side. This was the closest time for the two of them. In the past, they met at a distance.
After arriving, Duanmuzang sat aside and threw a wine jug to Xu Qing.
“Tell me in detail.”
Xu Qing took the jug, took a sip, frowned, took out his own wine from the storage bag, and threw it to Duanmuzang.
Duanmuzang took it, and his eyes lit up after drinking it.
Just like that, while the two were drinking, Xu Qing slowly opened his mouth, and roughly told Duanmu Zang what happened outside, but he hid his identity, and just described the matter from the perspective of a passerby.
During this period, Duanmuzang didn’t say a word, but he listened very carefully.
After a long time, the wine was finished, and Xu Qing also finished speaking.
Duanmuzang narrowed his eyes and spoke in a low voice.
“This Seventh Prince, what you saw was his actions and the Emperor’s will, but you overlooked one point, his mother clan!”
Xu Qing’s expression froze.
“As a prince, even if he has courage, he must have a deep background in this situation to be able to lift weights like this. Therefore, I think that his mother’s family may not be human. Even if it is human, it must be extraordinary!”
” There is also the emperor, interesting, I feel that he is clear about everything… because you look at the results, all the results seem to be within the controllable range.” “There is a big hand behind him, always
firmly Firm control.”
After Duanmuzang finished speaking, he looked up at Xu Qing, and said a word meaningfully.
“The starting point of this matter is Fenghai County, and if I am the emperor, I must arrange a trustworthy person in Fenghai County as my eyes.” “But it can’t be too high
. People will guess.”
Xu Qing’s expression remained the same, but waves arose in his heart.
Duanmuzang didn’t say much, stood up at this moment, and walked towards the distance. When his figure gradually blurred, he suddenly paused and turned to look at Xu Qing.
“Do you want to go and see, my home?”
