Xu Qing didn't know if this was the question the others were asked, or their answers.
At this moment, he stood in the starry sky, looking down at the terrifying remnant face of the god below.
Looking at its golden spine surrounding it in circles, looking at the continent wrapped around it like a piece of food.
All this made Xu Qing feel a little confused.
His mind instinctively recalled the first time when he was a child that he saw the opened eyes of the remnant face of the god that spread out in the sky and controlled all living beings supremely.
After that time, his relatives were gone, all the good things were lost, and the city disappeared into the world.
In the rain of blood, all he was left with was fear, hesitation, crying, and helplessness.
Xu Qing was silent.
He thought of the years when he was a street kid. At that time, he ate everything he could and could not eat in order to survive.
The only bottom line he insists on is that he doesn't eat people.
He had smelled the smell of human flesh, and had seen living people being eaten into bones and made into soup.
There were times when he was extremely hungry, but when he looked at the cannibalistic scavengers and the remains of the gods in the sky, he felt that it would be better to die if he continued to live like this.
What he fears most, besides hunger, is winter.
Every winter is a test of life and death.
He had seen too many people freeze to death and stripped off too many clothes of the dead. It could be said that every piece of clothing on his body at that time came from the dead.
Therefore, he is very concerned about new clothes.
There are also heterogeneities.
This kind of torture is slow, but it penetrates the bones and is extremely painful.
Along the way, he, who was at the bottom of the world, saw countless miseries of life and countless darkness of human nature.
There are many people like him, living in pain and suffering the despair of having no future.
And every time he was on the verge of death, he would raise his head and look at the majestic and cold face of the god in the sky. Looking at its clean face, he seemed to see indifferent eyes again.
…
Xu Qing was silent.
His memory slowly flowed in his mind, and he thought of the small town where he finally chose to settle. God opened his eyes for the second time before his eyes. Unlike the first time, the small town did not disappear.
So he saw the green and black corpses, the alienated evil spirits, the pieces of crumbling flesh and blood, and the unyielding stench of decay.
Then, he thought of the breath on the red moon, thought of the aloof posture, and thought of the evil emanating from it.
Then, he thought of the golden eyes in the ghost cave and the red woman in the wooden house singing her soothing voice with a trilling voice.
All this appeared in his mind.
In the end, all the images overlapped with the remains of the gods he saw outside the ancient continent.
Gradually, in his heart, it coalesced into a sentence that he had said countless times when he was a child.
What are gods?
"Son of a bitch!"
Xu Qing raised his head, looked at the huge light source above the starry sky, looked at the figure faintly revealed inside, and spoke calmly.
As soon as these words came out, the light source shook violently, and the gentle voice suddenly came out.
"What did you say?"
"I said, the gods are sons of bitches!" Xu Qing looked serious and added after speaking again.
"I used to call him a bastard when I was little!"
Xu Qing pointed at the broken face of the god below.
"I even called it pig offal."
Xu Qing thought about it carefully and said again.
"The most scolded ones are the gods!"
After saying that, Xu Qing spit at the broken face of the god below.
When he was a child, every time he cursed the gods, he would spit.
In the past, it always landed on the ground. This time, Xu Qing was very happy. He thought he might be able to land on the face of the gods.
The moment the phlegm continued to fall, the light source above shone more violently than ever before, and the gentle voice inside turned into laughter.
"Son of a bitch god, a bitch god!"
The laughter was extremely cheerful and grew louder and louder, causing the entire starry sky to tremble. When Xu Qing's vision became blurry, he heard the sound of admiration coming from the laughter.
"There are many people who curse gods, but very few can come up to me and speak like this. No one knows that I cursed like this back then, but I am not as good as you because I didn't spit."
"My little friend, although you have flaws in your body, these flaws cannot hide your beauty. You are blessed with endless glory. I hope you will never change your mind no matter what!"
The next moment, in the roar of laughter, Xu Qing's eyes were dazzled. He was still standing on the stairs, standing in front of the statue of the great emperor. The moment he raised his head, the statue of the great emperor trembled violently and erupted with a huge burst of light.
Light.
This brilliant light reached over two thousand feet in the blink of an eye and was still spreading.
It reached more than four thousand feet, but it didn't end. It reached more than six thousand feet, more than eight thousand feet... and finally spread outward suddenly, reaching ten thousand feet!
The color of the sky and the earth changes, the wind and clouds roll back, and the entire sky seems to be penetrated by this light, which can be clearly seen from a long distance.
Unprecedented!
The expressions of all the people in Taichu Liyou City changed completely. Even in the most solemn occasion, they still let out bursts of silent exclamations.
"Ten thousand... ten thousand feet?!"
Their hearts were filled with astonishing waves, filled with disbelief and disbelief.
Countless uproar and exclamations reverberated like thunder from the sky, and all the sword holders in the sky were deeply shaken. They all looked at the statue of the Great Emperor and Xu Qing in shock.
In other counties, they don't know if the Wan Zhang Huaguang has appeared before, but in Fenghai County, this is the first time!
This kind of thing is beyond everyone's thoughts.
Even the Xue Lianzi on the ground was stunned.
"Lao Qi recruits disciples...so powerful?"
Not only them, but the sword-holding elders in the sky at this moment were also moved as never before. Their eyes showed strange light, looking at Xu Qing as if they were looking at a treasure.
This was especially true for the sword-wielding elder inside. He had long recognized Xu Qing, and his eyes showed a strong light at this moment.
Because they know very well that in the Oath of Inquiry, all participants in the ceremony can be called the Emperor's blessing, but in fact this is just an assessment ceremony, which is an invisible condition for promotion.
Only when you reach a certain height can you be considered a true blessing from the emperor. For example, Qingqiu is like this, and will be valued more by the sword-wielding court.
But...if the height reaches an unprecedented ten thousand feet, then this can no longer be described as a blessing.
This is the emperor’s order!
Unparalleled!
The appearance of such a sword holder in Yinghuang Prefecture is a great achievement for the Yinghuang Prefecture Sword Holding Court.
At this moment, everything in heaven and on earth was shocked.
The red girl Qingqiu stood there in a daze, staring blankly at all this. An indescribable feeling arose deep in her heart. She turned to look at Xu Qing with a sparkle in her eyes.
"No, we won't die together with him in the future...I'm afraid." In her mind, the evil spirit quickly persuaded her.
Ning Yan, who was beside him, was trembling all over. His eyes were filled with shock and even deeper fear. He thought of his previous actions, and his nervous body was soaked in cold sweat.
The captain was also confused. He looked stupidly at the bright light of the Great Emperor's statue, and felt deep confusion in his heart.
"Why? Why am I only one foot long? My answer is also very good."
"How did little Aqing answer?"
The captain murmured and looked at Xu Qing suddenly. The curiosity in his heart was extremely strong. In fact, not only him, but everyone wanted to know what Xu Qing's answer was.
As for Zhang Siyun on the edge, he lowered his head at this moment and held his hands tightly in his robe.
But Xu Qing, who has been attracting all the attention, is now silent.
He looked at the brilliant light of the statue of the Great Emperor and the violent ripples in the sky. He actually didn't think his answer was that good, because he had seen too many people scold him like this when he was a child.
When life is difficult, facing the gods, even if you are afraid of them, you still have the courage to curse.
This is the courage of little people and the tragedy of little people.
The words that the Great Emperor Statue said before echoed in Xu Qing's mind.
This reminded him of the slums he lived in when he was a child. Only those who were dying would become fearless and dare to laugh at and insult the city lord.
But when they still have food to eat, they will be like the rich people in the city, respectful to the city lord and not dare to disobey him in the slightest.
Xu Qing vaguely understood, but he didn't know whether what he thought was correct, until the lingering sound of the statue of the Great Emperor in his mind kept echoing the last sentence.
I hope you will never change your mind no matter what!
Xu Qing nodded.
At the same time, with the brilliance of the great emperor's statue, this scene shocked not only Yinghuangzhou.
Far away from Yinghuang Prefecture, in the capital of Fenghai County, there was a bell ringing in the Sword Holding Palace.
The Dao Bell in the Palace of Swords was given by the Imperial Capital. For many years, it would only ring when major events occurred.
But today, it suddenly resounded with bells.
Although it was only a moment, it still caused all the male and female monks in the Sword-holding Palace to change their expressions and stir up big waves in their minds. Soon, the reason for the ringing of the Dao Bell was also investigated.
"Welcome to Huangzhou, Xu Qing, the newly promoted swordsman, asks his heart and swears that the emperor will bless him with endless glory, so the bell of the human race's sea-sealing county will ring once!"
This answer shocked all the sword-holders in the sword-holding palace and remembered a name.
Xu Qing!
There were even more auras with unflattering meanings, rising from the Sword-holding Palace in a shocking manner. These people who exuded auras were all the outstanding talents in the Sword-holding Palace of this generation.
They come from various states in Fenghai County, and they are all people who came to report on their duties after obtaining the status of sword bearers.
Because Yinghuangzhou is remote and offshore, it is also the last place where sword holders are tested.
The sword bearers from Yinghuang Prefecture have just been selected and it will take some time before they can come to the Sword Bearer Palace to report on their duties. At this moment, Xu Qing has not yet arrived, but his name has already spread throughout the Sword Bearer Palace.
At this moment, in the mountain behind the Sword Holding Palace, in a forest of swords, a woman in white clothes was slowly walking out.
This woman is stunningly beautiful, with red lips and a voluptuous figure. At first glance, she looks very charming, especially under the phoenix eye on the right side, which has a tear mole, but her expression is as cold as autumn frost.
Duan is a stunning beauty who has captivated the country.
Now she walked to the edge of the sword forest, raised her head, looked in the direction of Yinghuangzhou with her phoenix eyes, her red lips opened slightly, and her voice was like a clear spring.
"Yinghuangzhou... Yun'er should be here soon. Mother is waiting for you here."
