In the early morning, within the Eight Sects Alliance, Xu Qing controlled the covered Dharma boat and roared out.
The speed was so fast that he left the main city in an instant.
Although he still took the route of the Yunxian Eternal River at the beginning, the Dharma Boat soon changed its direction, away from Taisidu'e Mountain, and rushed towards the direction of Taisi Xianmen.
"Brother Xu Qing, this is the first time I have gone out since I came to Yinghuang Prefecture. If there is anything I am not sensible about, just tell me and I will change it." Ding Xue's pretty little face turned red on the boat.
Xia, under her curled eyelashes, her bright eyes blinked gently and spoke in a crisp voice.
Then she took out a roll of spirit stone tickets with a face value of one hundred, which looked like there were about twenty or thirty, and handed it to Xu Qing naturally.
Xu Qing took it instinctively and glanced at Ding Xue in front of him.
Ding Xue calmly straightened her chest slightly.
Today's Ding Xue is wearing a purple gauze skirt, with red flowing silk tied around her waist, long hair shawl, and an ancient sword on her back. Although she does not look as thrilling and charming as Zixuan Shangxian, she can
Her youthful aura and her fair face with red cheeks made her brimming with beauty and vitality from the inside out.
Especially her already slender waist, restrained by the flowing cloud silk, gives people a more delicate feeling, and the well-behaved expression and the spiritual stone given to Xu Qing under the premise of respecting knowledge in the past are all.
This made it acceptable for Xu Qing to follow Ding Xue.
On this trip, Master Qi was not on the boat.
Since fishing, it is natural to hide behind, so that the fish can take the bait. At the same time, in order to be more realistic, perhaps Ding Xue used the blow from his aunt, so... this trip became Ding Xue and Xu
Green together.
Their mission is to investigate the strange things that have happened recently in a small country that has chosen to rely on Seven Blood Eyes.
In addition, Xu Qing also understood that Master Qi made this arrangement with the intention of bringing Ding Xue with him. After all, in these troubled times, although Ding Xue's cultivation had broken through to foundation building, it had not yet reached the level of first fire.
Especially the character needs some training.
And the best training is to see with your own eyes the misery of the world.
The only thing that surprised Xu Qing was that he didn't see Zhao Zhongheng.
However, he did not ask. Instead, he withdrew his eyes from looking at Ding Xue and spoke calmly.
"Yinghuangzhou is no better than Nanhuang. Going out is very dangerous. You have to be more careful. In addition, don't touch anything on the ship. It's poisonous."
Facing Ding Xue, Xu Qing was extremely calm. After speaking, she closed her eyes and sat cross-legged to meditate, her face and breath also covered.
Although Master Qi wants to fish, it would be too fake if he doesn't cover it up.
Ding Xue nodded quickly, feeling excited and proud in her heart. For this trip, she had to please her aunt for a long time, and then she got this opportunity.
Seeing Xu Qing practicing at this moment, she obediently did not disturb him. Instead, she sat cross-legged and looked at the surrounding scenery. Occasionally, her beautiful eyes glanced at Xu Qing.
Even though Xu Qing concealed his appearance, Xu Qing's appearance in her memory could appear in her mind. Thinking of that extremely delicate, almost demonic face, her pretty face would blush.
In fact, even in the main city of the Eight Sects Alliance, she had seen too many people during this period, but she felt that none of them could compare with Xu Qing in appearance.
This made her desire to capture Xu Qing even stronger and more determined.
Time passed and three days passed.
During these three days, most of the time Xu Qing and Ding Xue got along were quiet. He was meditating and Ding Xue was looking at him. Every time Xu Qing opened his eyes, Ding Xue would take out some pills and hand them over.
Ling Qiao and Inquiry, looking very eager to learn.
Xu Qing felt that this mode of getting along was very good, so after tasting the elixir, he also gave Ding Xue careful guidance based on the knowledge he had mastered.
Ding Xue listened very carefully every time, with admiration in her eyes. Sometimes her words also had a soft and waxy meaning, which fell into her ears and made people feel very comfortable. She felt like they wanted to
The feeling of continuing to talk.
This was something Ding Xue didn't have before. After Xu Qing felt it, he couldn't help but look at Ding Xue a few more times.
Ding Xue was secretly happy because her aunt taught her this.
At the same time, she kept observing the sky, looking for opportunities, and another seven days passed like this.
Finally, Ding Xue waited for the weather change she wanted.
That night, thunder roared, lightning filled the air, and heavy rain poured down. When the outside world was rainy and cold, thunder resounded in the sky.
Ding Xue looked a little pale. The place where she sat was not very far from Xu Qing, but not close either. Every time the lightning roared, her body would tremble slightly.
Xu Qing opened his eyes and looked at Ding Xue.
"Brother Xu Qing, because my father and mother have not been around since I was a child, I have always been hiding in a corner on every thunderstorm night. Therefore, even though I am a monk, I still have some instinctive fear of thunder, especially on rainy nights.
I feel cold, but it’s okay. I can do it myself. Brother Xu Qing, please continue practicing and ignore me.”
Ding Xue's voice was very soft, and at the end, she whispered softly.
"I'm used to it." She said, huddled in the corner of the bow, looking pitiful.
Xu Qing thought for a while, took out a wine gourd and handed it to Ding Xue.
"Ah?" Ding Xue was stunned.
"Drink a little, it will warm you up."
Ding Xue took it hesitantly, looked at the wine gourd in her hand, and then at Xu Qing, who looked calm. She bit her silver teeth and took a big sip.
I drank too fast and couldn't help coughing, but the next moment a pill flew out.
"This pill relieves cough."
Ding Xue was a little confused. After a while, she took the elixir and looked at Xu Qing pitifully. At this moment, the thunder roared and her body trembled.
Xu Qing looked as usual, looking at the lightning outside, listening to the rolling thunder and the sound of rain. For some reason, he thought of the same rainy night and the same boat a month ago, with the heroic figure sitting on the railing of the boat.
figure.
For a long time, while the thunder was rolling, Xu Qing took out the willow flute, put it to his mouth and blew it gently. At this moment, the long flute sound undulated on the Dharma boat, floating between the sky and the earth, and the roar of thunder seemed to slowly become a drumbeat.
, to accompany the flute sound.
The sound of the flute contained an aura of rivers and lakes, and also contained the thoughts in Xu Qing's heart. When it echoed in all directions, Ding Xue's eyes went crazy.
She stared blankly at Xu Qing, at the figure in the purple Taoist robe, and at the emerald green flute under the eyes of the sword-browed eyebrows. Time seemed to have frozen in her world at this moment.
I don’t know when the flute ended, I don’t know when it dawned outside, I don’t know when the thunderstorm stopped.
"Brother Xu Qing, what's the name of this song?" Ding Xue took a deep breath, calmed down, and murmured.
Xu Qing shook his head and did not answer. He stood up and looked at the earth where the morning sun was shining. There was a small country there, which caught his eye.
That's where their destination is.
Thinking of Tong Country.
This is a small human country. It was originally not attached to any force until the arrival of Qixuetong. Therefore, the country’s former leader was an elder from Qixuetong a few generations ago. His talent made him wanted by the alliance and was not allowed in this life.
return.
Until the day he grew old, he chose to settle here and create this small country, and until the moment he passed away, he had no way to return to Seven Blood Pupils.
In such a country, Qixuetong naturally pays attention to what happens in it.
Originally, he planned to arrange for a Second Fire disciple to come and handle it, but because Master Qi wanted to take Xu Qing out, he simply arranged the matter for Xu Qing.
Under the morning light, smoke rises from the homes of ordinary people in this small country. From the sky, they can see a peaceful scene. It can be regarded as one of the few countries that is still safe.
The reason for this is that the Seven-Blooded Elder who founded this country has arranged a protective formation all around. This formation makes it difficult for monks with Golden Core or below to enter without permission.
But apparently there must have been a flaw in this small country's formation recently, and something strange is coming.
Regarding the specific matter, Xu Qing read the files when he came here and knew that 99 people died suddenly and turned into zombies in this country twenty days ago, and cholera spread in all directions.
Therefore, the country relies on Qixuetong, so Qixuetong once arranged for a foundation-building disciple from the Sixth Peak to come here for a rotation. Although this disciple was not a popular one, he was by no means comparable to ordinary casual cultivators. He was quickly solved by him.
And after his investigation, he found the murderer and killed him.
But ten days ago, the same scene appeared again, and the murderer was still the same person, exactly the same.
At this point, the Sixth Peak disciple knew that this must be something strange, so he reported it to the sect and asked the sect to send someone within ten days. He analyzed that the next time would be ten days later.
The day Xu Qing came was exactly the tenth day.
After arriving, he did not inform the leader of the small country and the Six Peaks disciples. Instead, he controlled the Dharma Ship to fly out of the small country. After flying far away, he quietly took Ding Xue off the Dharma Ship and hid all the way.
He kept track of his whereabouts, secretly returned with the jade slips from his companions, and strolled in the capital city of this small country.
Everything you look at here is ordinary people. Due to the existence of the surrounding formations, they seem to be in much better condition than the poor people Xu Qing has seen before.
Although there are some abnormalities, it is not to the point where the whole body is rotten and black and on the verge of alienation. There are many people walking on the street, and most of them laugh.
Ding Xue looked around curiously.
She has never been to such a small human country since she was a child, but she is not stupid. She also understands this world from the files, and she also knows that now she wants to find out the weirdness, so she did not disturb Xu Qing and followed Xu Qing closely.
Xu Qing is walking on the street, and outsiders cannot see his figure. This is the effect of a low-level invisibility talisman in the alliance. Unless one has reached foundation building, he cannot feel the fluctuations of the invisibility talisman.
In this way, an hour passed, Xu Qing walked around the small country, and finally stopped in front of a house. He lowered his head and glanced at his own shadow. There were fluctuations of thoughts in the shadow, and it sensed that there was something strange here.
This task may be difficult for others, but it is very simple for Xu Qing. He took a step forward without any hesitation and stepped directly into the house. The moment he entered, a cold wind hit his face.
Xu Qing didn't need to take action. His shadow suddenly dispersed and swallowed hard. The dark wind immediately dissipated into the shadow's mouth. As the sound of chewing came out, the place disappeared strangely.
Xu Qing then stood there and waited silently. After a while, he raised his eyebrows, and the message conveyed by the shadow told him that he had discovered something strange again in another place.
"Is it the Weiyou tribe again?" Xu Qing pondered, and took Ding Xue, who was waiting outside the door, to the place guided by the shadow. There he felt a strange aura, and soon the strangeness disappeared when the shadow swallowed him up.
.
"...no...yi...bao...zi..."
Shadow chewed and exuded emotions. Xu Qing frowned. Upon seeing this, the ancestor of the Vajra Sect quickly sent a message.
"Master, what Xiaoying means is that this is not one Weird, but two different individuals, which are different from the Weiyou Clan, so this should not be the Weiyou Clan. It feels that this is more like a product produced by a certain item.
The behavior is weird."

Happy weekend everyone~~
