out of time

Chapter 304 Weird Things
In the early morning, within the Eight Sect Alliance, Xu Qing controlled the concealed 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 Yunxian Wangu River at the beginning, the dharma boat quickly turned around, away from Taisi Du'er 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 Yinghuangzhou. If there is anything ignorant, tell me and I will change it." On the French boat, Ding Xue's pretty face was flushed. Xia, under the curled eyelashes, blinked her bright eyes lightly, and spoke in a crisp voice.

Then she took out a roll of Lingshi tickets with a face value of [-], which seemed to be about [-] or [-], and handed them to Xu Qing naturally.

Xu Qing took it instinctively, and glanced at Ding Xue in front of him.

Ding Xue straightened out her small chest calmly.

Today's Ding Xue is wearing a purple veil skirt, red flowing cloud silk around her waist, long hair shawl, and an ancient sword on her back. Although she doesn't look as thrilling and charming as Zixuan Shangxian, but The youthful breath and the red face in the white make her full of beauty and vitality from the inside to the outside.

In particular, her slender waist, under the restraint of the flowing cloud silk, gives people a more delicate feeling, and the well-behaved expression and the Lingshi given to Xu Qing under the premise of respecting knowledge in the past are all very beautiful. This made Xu Qing accept Ding Xue's following.

This trip, Qi Ye never followed on board.

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, it may be that Ding Xue was blown by his aunt, so... this trip became Ding Xue and Xu Xiaoyu. Green together.

Their task is to investigate the strange things that have happened recently in a small country that chose to attach itself to the Seven Blood Eyes.

In addition, Xu Qing also understands that Qi Ye's arrangement is also because of the idea of ​​letting him bring Ding Xue with him. After all, in this troubled world, although Ding Xue's cultivation level has also broken through to Foundation Establishment, he has not yet reached First Fire.

Especially character, still needs some tempering.

And the best training is to see the misery in the world with your own eyes.

The only thing that surprised Xu Qing was that he didn't see Zhao Zhongheng.

However, he didn't inquire, instead he withdrew his gaze from looking at Ding Xue, and spoke calmly.

"Yinghuangzhou is no better than Nanhuang. Going out is very dangerous. You have to be careful. In addition, don't touch the things on the boat. They are poisonous."

Facing Ding Xue, Xu Qing was very calm. After speaking, he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, covering his face and breath.

Although Qiye wanted to fish, if he didn't cover it up, it would be too fake.

Ding Xue nodded quickly, her heart was full of excitement and pride. For this trip, she had been courting her aunt for a long time, and only then did she get this opportunity.

Seeing Xu Qing practicing at this moment, she obediently did not bother, but sat cross-legged and looked at the surrounding scenery, her beautiful eyes occasionally glanced at Xu Qing.

Even if Xu Qing covered up his appearance, she could automatically recall Xu Qing's appearance in her memory in her mind, and when she thought of that extremely delicate, almost demon face, her pretty face would blush.

In fact, even in the main city of the Eight Sect Alliance, she saw too many people during this time, but she felt that none of them could match Xu Qing in appearance.

This made her desire to take down Xu Qing even stronger and more determined.

Time passed, three days passed.

During these three days, Xu Qing and Ding Xue spent most of their time together quietly. He was meditating, and Ding Xue was watching him. Every time Xu Qing opened his eyes, Ding Xue would take out some pills and hand them over. Spiritual tickets and inquiries, a very easy-to-learn look.

Xu Qing felt that this way of getting along was very good, so after tasting the elixir, he also guided Ding Xue attentively according to the knowledge he had acquired.

Ding Xue listened very carefully every time, her eyes showed admiration, and sometimes the words she said were soft and waxy, falling into her ears, making people listen very comfortably, and there would be a feeling of wanting to The feeling of going on.

This was something that Ding Xue didn't have before, Xu Qing couldn't help but look at Ding Xue a few more times after feeling it.

Ding Xue was secretly happy, her aunt taught her this.

At the same time, she kept observing the sky and looking for opportunities, and another seven days passed like this.

Finally, Ding Xue waited for the weather change she wanted.

That night, the thunder roared, the lightning filled the air, and the heavy rain poured down. When the outside world was rainy and cold, the thunder resounded through the sky.

Ding Xue's complexion was a little pale. She was sitting not very far from Xu Qing, but not too close. 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 were not around since I was a child, every thunderstorm night I hide in a corner by myself, so even though I am a monk, I am still somewhat instinctively afraid of thunder, especially on rainy nights. I feel cold, but it’s okay, I can do it myself, Brother Xu Qing, you can continue to practice, don’t pay attention to me.”

Ding Xue's voice was very soft, and at the end, she whispered softly.

"I'm used to it." As she spoke, she huddled in the corner of the bow with a pitiful look.

Xu Qing thought for a while, took out a wine gourd, and handed it to Ding Xue.

"Ah?" Ding Xue was taken aback.

"Drink a little, it will be warm."

Ding Xue took it hesitantly, looked at the wine gourd in her hand, and then at Xu Qing who had a calm face. She gritted her silver teeth and took a big gulp.

Drinking too fast, I couldn't help coughing, but the next moment a elixir flew over.

"This pill relieves cough."

Ding Xue was a little dazed. After a while, she took the pill 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 a month ago, the same rainy night, the same boat, 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 on his mouth and blew it lightly. At this moment, the sound of the flute fluctuated on the dharma boat, floating in the sky and the earth, and the roar of the thunder seemed to gradually become a drumbeat , to accompany the flute.

The sound of the flute contained a breath of the world, and it also contained the thoughts in Xu Qing's heart. When it echoed in all directions, Ding Xue's eyes were bewildered.

She stared blankly at Xu Qing, at the figure in the purple Taoist robe, at the emerald green flute under the pair of sword eyebrows and starry eyes, time seemed to freeze in her world at this moment.

At some point, the sound of the flute ends, at some point, the outside world becomes bright, and at some point, the thunderstorm stops.

"Brother Xu Qing, what's the name of this song?" Ding Xue took a deep breath, regained her composure, and murmured.

Xu Qing shook his head and did not answer. He stood up and looked at the land where the morning sun was shining. There was a small country there, which caught his eyes.

That's where their destination is.

Sitong country.

This is a small country of human race. It was not attached to any power until the arrival of Qixuetong. Therefore, the former ruler of the country was an elder from Qixuetong a few generations ago. His own talent made him go away by the alliance. He is not allowed in this life. return.

Until the day when he was old, he chose to settle here and created this small country, and until the moment of his death, he had no way to return to Qixuetong.

In such a country, Qi Xuetong naturally paid attention to what happened in it.

Originally, they planned to arrange for a second fire disciple to come and deal with it, but Qi Ye wanted to take Xu Qing out, so he simply arranged for Xu Qing.

In the morning light, the people of this small country raised smoke from their homes, looking at a piece of peace from the sky, it is one of the few countries that is still safe.

The reason for this is that the elder Qixuetong who founded this country arranged around it for protection. This formation can make it difficult for monks below Jindan to step in without permission.

But apparently there should be some flaws in the formation of this small country recently, so there is a strange presence.

As for the specific matter, Xu Qing read the file when he came, and knew that 20 people in this country died suddenly and turned into walking corpses 99 days ago, and cholera spread everywhere.

Therefore, the country is attached to Qixuetong, so Qixuetong once arranged for a foundation-establishing disciple from the sixth peak to come here on rotation. Although this disciple did not reach Yihuo, he was by no means comparable to ordinary casual cultivators. He solved it quickly under his hands. 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 weird, so he reported it to the sect and asked the sect to send someone to come within ten days. According to his analysis, the next time would be ten days later.

The day Xu Qing came was the tenth day.

After arriving, he didn't tell the lord of the small country and the disciples of Liufeng, but controlled the dharma boat to fly out of the range of the small country. After flying far away, he quietly took Ding Xue off the dharma boat and hid all the way Whereabouts, sneaked back with the jade slips of the same company, and wandered in the capital of this small country.

What the eyes see here is ordinary, because of the existence of formations around them, they look much better than the poor people Xu Qing saw before.

Although there are also heterogeneities, but not to the extent that the whole body is rotten and black and on the verge of alienation, and there are many pedestrians on the street, and most of them are laughing.

Ding Xue looked around curiously.

She has never been to such a small country of human race since she was a child, but she is not stupid. She also knows about this world from the files, and knows that now she is going to find out the strangeness, so she didn't bother Xu Qing, and followed Xu Qing closely.

Xu Qing walked on the street, and outsiders couldn't see him. This was the effect of a low-level invisibility talisman in the alliance. Unless his cultivation had reached the foundation, he couldn't feel the fluctuation of the invisibility talisman.

In this way, after an hour passed, Xu Qing walked around the small country, and finally stopped in front of a private house, and looked down at his own shadow. There was a wave of thoughts coming from the shadow, and it felt that there was something strange here.

This task may be difficult for others, but it is very simple for Xu Qing. Without any hesitation, he took a step forward and directly stepped into the house.

Xu Qing didn't need to make a move, his shadow suddenly dispersed and swallowed fiercely, the dark wind dissipated and fell into the shadow's mouth, and with the sound of chewing, the strangeness of this place dissipated.

Then Xu Qing stood at the same spot, waiting silently. After a while, he raised his eyebrows, and the message from the shadow told him that he was in another place and found something strange again.

"Could it be the Weiyou clan again?" Xu Qing pondered, and took Ding Xue, who was waiting outside the door, to the place guided by the shadow, where he felt a strange aura, which soon disappeared under the engulfment of the shadow .

"...No...One...Treasure...Child..."

Xu Qing frowned as the shadow chewed and let out emotions, and the ancestor of the Vajra Sect quickly transmitted his voice when he saw this.

"Master, what Xiaoying means is that this is not a strange, but two different individuals, and the taste is different from that of the Youyou tribe, so this should not be the Weiyou tribe. It feels that this is more like something produced by a certain item. It's weird."
