The sound was ethereal, with a touch of the spirit of being out of the world.
It also contained coldness. The moment it reached Xu Qing's ears, it turned into a wisp of ice water that filled his mind, and then spread throughout his body, turning into a trembling cold.
Xu Qing's body trembled, his breath turned into white mist, his eyebrows and hair began to freeze at this moment, and his whole body stiffened instantly, as if he had encountered something strange and irresistible.
Even Xu Qing had the illusion that cracks appeared in the void all around him, surrounding him like ice.
Not to mention the forty-four orifices in the body.
He clearly felt that the magic orifice in his body had become dead. The magic power inside was also like this. While it was running extremely slowly, the spiritual vortex was also like this.
As for the life fire...
In this state, it is impossible to ignite the life fire!
This scene made Xu Qing's mind tumble violently. The sense of security he had gained after turning on the Life Fire instantly dissipated. It also made him deeply aware that it was easy for a strong person to suppress the Xuan Yao State.
But Xu Qing was not without any ability to fight back. At this moment, when his whole body was freezing, he felt the residual warmth on his life lamp.
This temperature has not been completely cooled by the external cold, and there may be a chance to forcefully ignite the life fire.
This realization made Xu Qing more vigilant. He knew very well that he could never let anyone know about the life lamp, so he once again made sure that his shadow was still covering the life lamp. He took a deep breath and turned around with difficulty to look at behind.
The moment he turned around, he saw two women, one middle-aged and the other a girl, appearing there at some unknown time.
The middle-aged woman wears a red double-breasted palace dress, with a delicate pattern of butterflies piercing flowers embroidered with purple gold silk. The lining is extraordinarily luxurious, like the rising sun in the sky.
But the aura of unmeltable ice all over his body was as obvious as the coldness in his expression, especially his eyes, which were as deep as the springs of an ancient well, and could not be seen to the end at a glance.
It seems that everything she looks at is icy cold, and if others look at her for a long time, they will be affected to penetrate their souls.
At this moment, she was staring at Xu Qing.
The clothes she was wearing were not those of any Yifeng, and Xu Qing had never seen each other in the Seven Blood Boys, but Xu Qing knew the girl next to her.
The girl was wearing a large dark purple robe, like a long skirt, with an ancient sword on her back, and a ponytail raised up. She looked heroic and at the same time, her exposed skin was white and rosy.
The whole person looks both heroic and gentle, especially when he smiles at this moment, making his eyes curve into crescents. He is cute and his eyes are crystal clear at the same time.
It is Ding Xue.
She looked at Xu Qing, her beautiful eyes blinking, with an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
"Senior Brother Xu, this is my aunt. She is the deputy peak leader of our seventh peak. She assists my uncle in managing the seventh peak." Ding Xue spoke softly, with a reminder in her words.
"Disciple Xu Qing, I have met the deputy peak master."
Being stared at by Aunt Ding Xue, Xu Qing clearly felt that his coldness from the inside out was getting stronger and stronger. Fortunately, he had a good background. At this moment, although he was strongly affected by the eyes of this middle-aged woman, he could still act as usual, so As he spoke, he cupped his fists and bowed respectfully to Aunt Ding Xue.
This scene made the middle-aged woman's cold eyes reveal a hint of surprise. She looked Xu Qing up and down and spoke calmly.
"No need to be restrained."
After saying that, she noticed that the niece next to her was staring at Xu Qing with a bright light in her eyes. As a person who has been here, she naturally knew what this look meant, so she sighed in her heart, and the coldness on her body dissipated a little, and her tone
Also slightly slower.
"I called you here today to give you a task from the sect, to be Ding Xue's protector for the time being..."
"Auntie, we are helping each other among friends!" Ding Xue spoke quickly, holding her aunt's hand and shaking it with a charming expression.
Xu Qing's expression remained as usual and his posture remained unchanged, but there were waves in his heart. On the one hand, he didn't expect that Ding Xue's background was so great. On the other hand, the cultivation of this peak master gave him a feeling that he had never seen Ding Xue before.
A similar feeling when becoming a peak master.
At the same time, this contact also gave Xu Qing a clearer perception of the horror of the Peak Master's level.
At this moment, with Ding Xue's coquettishness, the middle-aged woman's cold expression melted, and she felt a touch of endearment. She touched Ding Xue's head and spoke to Xu Qing.
"Xu Qing, you and Ding Xue are friends. I'm not talking to you today as the deputy peak master, but as an elder. This is the front line, and it's not very safe. Ding Xue must come, and I have other important things to do.
God, I am worried about her safety and need your help to protect her for a month, what do you think?"
"After you finish, I will give you the right to withdraw from the war at any time, and give you three disordered teleportation talismans."
Hearing the words "Disordered Teleportation Talisman", Xu Qing's heart beat faster instantly.
He knew about the disordered teleportation talisman, which was a kind of jade treasure that was worth more than many magic weapons, any one of which cost more than 700,000 to 800,000 spiritual stones.
The most important thing is that this object is extremely rare, and people often rush to buy it as soon as it appears. On that day, Xu Qing saw one before leaving in the Mingqi Pavilion in Pengming District on the Sixth Peak, but it was not for sale.
.
The function of this object is equivalent to a second life. It can be used in most areas. If it is crushed, it can be teleported away. However, the place of teleportation is irregular. It can appear nearby or thousands of miles away.
And this matter was obviously brought up by Ding Xue, otherwise if he really wanted to find someone to protect him, with three disorderly teleportation talismans as a reward, there would be a lot of strong people vying for him.
So Xu Qing glanced at Ding Xue.
Seeing Xu Qing's eyes on her, Ding Xue blushed and gave Xu Qing a sweet smile.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged lady shook her head, a hint of helplessness flashed in her deep eyes. After placing a storage bag in Ding Xue's hand, she spoke calmly.
"You decide." With that said, she turned and left.
Seeing that her aunt was gone, Ding Xue hurried to Xu Qing's side and spoke quickly.
"Senior Brother Xu Qing, that is my aunt. She does not live in Qixuetong on weekdays but in Xishan Islands. I told you when you saw me off on the sea that day that she is the one I asked you to go with me to pay homage to.
.”
"Zhao Zhongheng insisted on following me that day, but my aunt was kind enough to give him a pill. Originally, I would have given it to you if you had come to me. Zhao Zhongheng used that pill to form the Forbidden Sea Dragon Whale. It was cheap.
That guy."
When Xu Qing heard this, he fell silent.
After a while, he looked at Ding Xue and asked.
"The peak master of the seventh peak is yours..."
"That's my uncle." Ding Xue said with a smile.
Xu Qing was silent again.
"However, there were some philosophical conflicts between my aunt and my uncle and their fellow Taoists, so my aunt moved out of the Seven Blood Boys many years ago and went to live in the Xishan Islands. This time it was also a war between the Seven Blood Boys, so she came."
"Senior Brother Xu Qing, can you protect me this time? I actually came here to increase my qualifications. The sect also has assessments for core disciples, and my uncle plans to report me to the Seven Sects Alliance, which requires my
My resume is authentic and looks better, and I plan to focus on vegetation in the future, so Senior Brother Xu Qing, could you please help me with my tutoring during this time?"
Ding Xue did not hide anything and told Xu Qing what she needed, and at the same time handed the storage bag over. Obviously, regardless of whether Xu Qing agreed or disagreed, she would give Xu Qing the disordered teleportation talisman inside.
Xu Qing looked at the storage bag, and then at Ding Xue who looked expectant.
Xu Qing still appreciates Ding Xue's diligence and studiousness. Moreover, whether it is the other party's original foundation-building jade slip or the three disordered teleportation talismans now, he has no reason to refuse, and Ding Xue's approach also
Make him feel very comfortable.
So Xu Qing nodded, took the storage bag and felt it. There were three jade talismans that emitted a soft light, and the magic power on them was very abundant.
"Great, thank you, Brother Xu Qing." Ding Xue was very excited, and then she seemed to want to hold Xu Qing's arm very naturally, but Xu Qing avoided her.
Ding Xue didn't show anything strange, still smiled sweetly, led Xu Qing into a teleportation point, and left the core command headquarters.
In the following time, except for going back to her aunt at night, she usually followed Xu Qing to complete her frontline resume on the island of the mermaid tribe.
But Ding Xue is very smart. Although she fought for this opportunity for Xu Qing and had some selfish motives, she did not show it too obviously and instead dragged Xu Qing to take on some special tasks.
From Ding Xue, Xu Qing also learned that the mission of the original core disciples was different from theirs.
The core disciples' tasks have more rewards and significantly reduced dangers, and most of them can be completed on the island.
However, as a core disciple, he is extremely involved with the sect.
It can be said that if the Seven Blood Boys encounter an irreversible catastrophe one day, disciples like Xu Qing can leave calmly without being hunted down.
But the core disciples will definitely be eliminated with all their strength.
So becoming the core has advantages and disadvantages.
Xu Qing didn't have any envy. He felt that he was doing well the way he was now, and in the following days, he would take Ding Xue to complete various small tasks assigned by him every day.
For example, sending important supplies from one island to another, doing some aftermath work, counting some casualties, etc.
Basically there is no difficulty and there is no danger to life safety.
In her spare time, Ding Xue would also consult him about vegetation knowledge, and every time she would give him spiritual stones that respected the knowledge.
Although in Xu Qing's opinion, one or two hundred spiritual stones each time are no longer as valuable as they once were, the concept of gathering sand into a tower still exists in his heart.
Until seven or eight days passed, the tasks Ding Xue took gradually became more difficult.
For example, looking for some mermaid rebels and the hiding place of the sea corpse clan here.
The danger level of this type of mission is already high, but after all, this is a frontline headquarters, so the height is limited.
In addition, sect support is relatively fast, which is very suitable for core disciples to experience.
Ding Xue seems to attach great importance to resumes. She often rushes to the front of these dangerous tasks without fear of injury at all.
The more dangerous it is, the faster she rushes over.
But under Xu Qing's careful protection, Ding Xue was in danger every time and the crisis was resolved.
This made Ding Xue a little anxious.
This doesn't fit into her plan.
Especially when one month was approaching, she gritted her teeth. One morning, when she met Xu Qing again, she suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
His face was pale and his body was shaky, as if he would fall down at any time.
Xu Qing was startled, looked at Ding Xue a few times, and felt slightly moved.
He found that Ding Xue's internal cultivation was disordered, her Qi was in a ball, and many meridians were blocked, making it difficult to recover in a short time. It was obvious that she was seriously injured.
"Senior Brother Xu, it's all my fault. I was too impatient."
"I felt that I was too weak and wanted to break through to Dzogchen as soon as possible, so my practice went wrong last night, which resulted in serious physical injuries."
Ding Xue's face was pale, she could barely support her body and spoke bitterly.
"My aunt also went to the battlefield and is not here. My search has been fruitless."
"You should rest for a few days. Once your injury recovers, you can complete the mission again." Xu Qing heard this and spoke consolingly.
"no!!"
Ding Xue was anxious and quickly refused, thinking secretly in her heart that if she really let her go back to rest, wouldn't her injuries this time be in vain?
