out of time

Chapter 486
In the pitch-black deep sea, Ye Zhou's speed was extremely fast, nearly ten times faster than before, and he walked crazily in the deep sea, looking like he was afraid of delaying Xu Qing's time.

Especially when he noticed Xu Qing's gloomy face, he sped up again.

After knowing the information of the Yanmiao Clan, Xu Qing gave up the idea of ​​going to Qingwu Mountain for a transit. He planned to rush to Zhaoxia Mountain immediately, and at the same time, a huge haze rose in his heart.

On the one hand, he was worried about the wars in the two major regions in the northwest, and on the other hand, it was the information from the Yanmiao clan, which made it difficult for him not to think about the murderer behind the scenes guessed in the jade slip given by the palace lord.

"I am not in control of the battlefield... The only thing I can do is to complete the tasks assigned by the Palace Master." After a long time, Xu Qing murmured.

In this way, time passed, and several days passed. In the past few days, the big net in the sky has more streamers than before. From this point, Xu Qing can judge that the battle between the two places in the northwest should be extremely fierce.

He sighed softly in his heart, and looked up at the distant world.

Finally, on the fourth night, Zhaoxia Mountain came into Xu Qing's eyes.

This mountain is very special, its color is not black, but colorful.

At first glance it seems to be pieced together, but it is actually a whole.

And the size is also obviously larger than any mountain that Xu Qing saw along the way. It stands on the deep sea and goes straight into the sky. The part on the sea is almost ten thousand feet high.

Under the moonlight, the colorful colors of Zhaoxia Mountain are reflected in all directions, forming a halo, giving people a sense of magnificence.

You can vaguely see under the deep sea, and even more astonishing mountains, the spread is very majestic.

Especially when approaching, Xu Qing also felt waves of coercion spreading from the mountain, and at the same time covering the surroundings, the solar wind was also extremely fierce here, and wherever it passed, there were not only whimpering wind echoes, but also countless spaces Cracks appeared, quickly healed, and quickly formed, and the cycle repeated.

Looking at this mountain, Xu Qing felt a little complicated, and even less anxious, all these emotions blended together, and finally became a worry about gain and loss.

On the one hand, it is the task assigned by the palace lord, but more is...here is his parents' tomb.

Xu Qing stood on the leaf boat, staring at the Zhaoxia Mountain in the distance. After a long time, he suppressed all his thoughts, took a deep breath, stepped out of the leaf boat, and quickly approached Zhaoxia Mountain in the deep sea.

As for Ye Zhou... almost the moment Xu Qing left, he sank suddenly, fearing that he would disturb Xu Qing if he left too late, he dived into the depths of the abyss in the blink of an eye, stuck to the bottom, and left quickly.

The head on the stone lion's tail looked at this scene with strong envy...

After a stick of incense, Xu Qing approached Zhaoxia Mountain, where he felt an invisible barrier surrounding Zhaoxia Mountain, like a huge hood, covering the mountain from top to bottom.

This is the grand formation of Zhaoxia Mountain Sword Court.

This formation prevents all those who are not allowed to step in. Even if the sword holders from other states want to come, they need to have permission. Only the sword holders from this state can enter smoothly.

But because this place is also a secret place designated by the Sword Holding Palace, there are too many places in Zhaoxia Mountain that the sword holders of this state cannot break into.

Only by consuming military exploits to exchange for the qualifications to enter the secret place can you truly unimpeded.

However, for Xu Qing today, all of this does not exist. The jade slip given by the palace lord has as high authority as if the palace lord came in person.

Therefore, his arrival will not cause any fluctuations in the formation, and there will be no secret places that will prohibit him.

"Go and complete the investigation first, and then go to find the tomb of your parents."

With determination in Xu Qing's eyes, he took out the jade pendant given by the palace lord, and without causing any disturbance, walked into the formation of Zhaoxia Mountain and stepped onto the mountain.

The moment his footsteps landed on Zhaoxia Mountain, Xu Qing felt ripples in his heart, a sense of blood in the dark, which made him short of breath, and his heart felt a tingling pain.

That is the induction of the parents.

After reaching his level of cultivation, he could sense the blood, and it was this perception that made Xu Qing instinctively raise his hand and press it on his heart.

"Father...mother..." Xu Qing murmured, her eyes were a little red.

Even in the eyes of outsiders, Xu Qing is a person who is decisive in killing and attacking fiercely, and his mood swings are not obvious, but this is forced by life, not his nature.

But now, on this Zhaoxia Mountain, scenes of Peerless City involuntarily appeared in his mind.

After a long time, Xu Qing lowered his head, completely concealed his aura, and suppressed the ripples in his heart. He knew that now he had to complete the mission of the Palace Master first.

So he walked up the mountain silently.

In the distance, he saw hundreds of palaces, large and small, built near the top of the mountain.

The materials of these palaces are all the stone materials of Zhaoxia Mountain, so the colors are also colorful, and the construction is very grand, and it looks full of sacredness under the moonlight.

very beautiful.

Compared with Yinghuangzhou, the sword-holding court here is much larger in scale, and the number of sword-holders guarding here on weekdays must also exceed Yinghuangzhou.

But now during the war, ninety-nine percent of the sword-wielders in the sword-wielding court of Zhaoxia Mountain have already gone to the battlefield. Xu Qing walked all the way, and felt that the sword-wielding court of Nuo Da was extremely quiet.

The number of sword bearers was less than thirty. Xu Qing secretly noticed that most of these sword bearers were patrolling, and their expressions were extremely vigilant. It was obvious that someone was going to attack the sword court, and they had heard about it.

Most of these left-behind cultivators are low palace golden pills, and the highest cultivation is a Nascent Soul sword holder, who has a similar aura to Chu Tianqun, and is also the appearance of the Nascent Soul in the early and middle stages.

Xu Qing looked at the opponent's location from a distance, and then checked the formation of the Sword Court.

It is by no means easy to break through this formation, and with the taboo net in the sky, it can ensure that any sword-holding court in Fenghai County is in a safe state.

After making a judgment, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and sneaked towards the top of the mountain, avoiding the patrolling swordsmen in the quiet sword court.

His goal is very clear, to go to the Juanzong Pavilion of the Sword Court.

The concealment of the palace lord Yupei and Xu Qing himself made this journey smooth for him. After burning incense, he found the pavilion where the files were kept.

There is also a restriction here, and the sword holder is not allowed to step in at will, but with the gentle glow of the jade pendant in Xu Qing's hand, the restriction is blurred in front of him.

Before stepping in, Xu Qing sent out his spiritual thoughts towards the shadow, and soon the shadow spread violently, covering the stone lion and its head like a pocket.

Xu Qing took a look and was sure that there was nothing wrong with it, so he walked in one step, felt it carefully, and made sure that there was no sword-wielder on duty in the file pavilion, so he walked in and began to look through the files here.

There are four floors in this pavilion, and there are so many files that Xu Qing can't read all of them in a short time, so what he mainly looks for is the records about Zhaoxiaguang.

In this way, on the third floor, he found a dossier with extremely high authority for viewing.

After unlocking the above restriction, Xu Qing looked it up.

After a while, he frowned.

What is recorded in this dossier is indeed the morning glow. According to what is recorded in it, the morning glow is the light emitted before the sun falls. It is not a dead thing, but possesses intelligence.

A total of 750 times have appeared one after another over the years.

But this is actually a bit contradictory, because if it is really formed by the fall of the sun, it should be a one-off explosion that year, and it is impossible to appear from time to time at countless intervals.

Therefore, under the research of the Sword Holding Palace, it was discovered that although the morning glow was related to the fall of the sun to a certain extent, not all of them were formed in this way.

It is more like a life form formed naturally in this area by changing the laws of heaven and earth in a part of the area after the sun fell.

Therefore, it will appear occasionally one after another for countless years,
And it only appears in Zhaoxia Mountain.

This point is also recorded in the dossier. It is rumored that Zhaoxia Mountain is the place where a mouthful of blood was sprinkled before the sun fell. The blood of the sun is colorful, so this mountain has become colorful.

The presence of the sun here is also one of the conditions required for the formation of morning glow.

At the same time, the morning glow does not really help the cultivator's cultivation. It is more for the monk to realize the power of the sun and reverse his own blood.

At the same time, there are also unparalleled surprises in the refining equipment.

In addition, research from the Sword-holding Palace has shown that the morning glow also has a powerful effect on resisting the power of the gods. Therefore, due to various reasons, and because of the scarcity of the number, so far, every morning glow that has appeared, the Sword-holding Court has There are detailed records.

These records include when the morning glow appeared and where it eventually went.

Xu Qing checked, but didn't find too many problems. There are traces of every morning glow in it, most of them were sent to the Sword Holding Palace, and a small part was traded away by other forces.

Those who were traded also had records of their whereabouts.

Xu Qing rummaged for a long time, but this was all he could find.

"Unless you track down the whereabouts of each one one by one, it will be difficult to find clues." Xu Qing frowned, looking at the massive files, his eyes were a little dark.

At the same time, in the Zhaoxia State, in the depths of the abyss...here is filled with infinite heterogeneity, and even more terrifying coercion with the will of death shrouds all directions.

Everything is blurred, everything is distorted, as if the world formed by the gods.

It seems that any monk who comes here will be affected, either die suddenly or become alienated.

Here, is the restricted area of ​​life.

And the source of all this is a piece of sun remains that has long been extinct from the outside world.

The old man Danqing was standing there tremblingly on the flesh and blood of the thousand-foot-sized remains, looking at a hundred-foot-sized finger floating in front of it, exuding terrifying power.

"Your Excellency is mighty. I heard that for countless years, all clans have searched for the remains here like crazy and never found them again, but you found them as soon as you came here. Your Excellency is indeed the chosen god!"

"It's just that the remains of the sun, because it has been fallen for too long, are now lacking in activity, so it is difficult to use it as a paint."

The old man Danqing spoke in a trembling voice.

"Only by finding more living beings, sending them in, and filling them with activity, can it become a paint..."

Hearing this, the god's finger turned slightly, and as the surrounding blurred and twisted, its figure disappeared in an instant.

Seeing the fingers go away, the old man Danqing suddenly frowns.

"What should I do... After painting, He will definitely kill me, but if I don't paint, I will also be killed..."

And at this moment, it was just before dawn.

The sky was pitch black, and although the moon hung high, the moonlight could not penetrate the fog in Zhaoxia Prefecture, so the entire deep sea was still pitch black.

Only the tops of the mountains standing on the Yuanhai Sea can penetrate the mist and see the bright moon in the sky.

It's just that most of the mountains in Yuanhai are not tall, so the brightest place in the entire Zhaoxia Prefecture is only Zhaoxia Mountain.

On Zhaoxia Mountain, Xu Qing stood on the third floor of Juanzong Pavilion, looking at the sky through the wooden window. The mountain wind blew up his long hair, revealing his eyes reflecting the moonlight.

"If I want to track down the clues, it will take a long time with my strength alone." Xu Qing murmured from the bottom of his heart, frowning slowly.

He can't tell other people about this matter, even the sword holders who stay here can't easily say it, because once the palace lord judges correctly, killing the behind-the-scenes of the county guard will definitely have great power.

So even if the sword holder is here...Xu Qing is not sure.

Because the price of wrong belief is life and death crisis for him.

After pondering for a while, Xu Qing checked some files again, and finally left the File Pavilion, and walked in the quiet and empty Sword Holding Court in this hiding place.

The closer to dawn, with the dimming of the bright moon, the sky and the earth will become darker. This is an inevitable experience before dawn.

And often at this time, the wind is colder than usual, blowing on Xu Qing's body, lifting the sleeves of his Taoist robe.

Xu Qing walked silently in Zhaoxia Mountain, he was going to look for his parents' tomb, and wanted to worship.

He had waited a long, long time for this day.

The ups and downs of mood, the fluctuation of thoughts, all of these became ripples, which constantly rippled in Xu Qing's heart.

Can't hold it down, can't bury it.

As he got bigger and bigger, Xu Qing's body trembled uncontrollably, which was rare for him.

Xu Qing didn't try to control it, he closed his eyes, his perception spread, followed the guidance of the blood in the dark, walked forward silently, and passed a house, here, there is the guidance of the blood.

After passing a rock, here, there is also the guidance of the blood.

After passing through a high tower, there is also the guidance of blood here.

Xu Qing walked for a long time, passing through various areas, and finished walking the small half of Zhaoxia Mountain exposed on the Yuanhai Sea.

Until finally, at the top of the mountain, he stopped and stood there in a daze.

The mountain wind became stronger at this moment, and the pitch-black sky slowly turned red with the sunrise, like a fire, and gradually rays of light penetrated the clouds, fell on the deep sea, and fell on the peaks everywhere, reflecting In Zhaoxia Mountain.

The colorful lights emanate from every rock in Zhaoxia Mountain, and after reflecting with the sun, they form a gorgeous halo, becoming the only eye-catching sight in this world at this moment.

Seen from afar, there is a colorful mountain on the black deep sea, which is gorgeous and bright, as if it has become the source of all light, trying to compete with the sun for brilliance.

Its light covers all directions, and as the sky gets brighter and the sun rises into the sky, the colorful light of Zhaoxia Mountain also brightens at this moment, continuously emitting dazzling rays of light towards the surroundings.

Absolutely beautiful.

In this beautiful scene, Xu Qing opened his eyes, he looked down at the rocks under his feet, he understood.

Why, I have walked through all the areas, and every position is guided by blood.

Why, I have found the present, and the perception is by my side, but I still haven't found the grave.

"I buried my parents in Zhaoxia Mountain." These were the words Prince Ziqing told Xu Qing back then.

At this moment, Xu Qing knew the reason.

"The tomb of my parents is this Zhaoxia Mountain... They were buried in the deepest center of this mountain, so the moment I set foot on this mountain, I sensed the guidance of my blood."

Xu Qing muttered, looking at the Zhaoxia Mountain under his feet, he wanted to enter the interior of this mountain, but Zhaoxia Mountain was so special that he couldn't do it with his cultivation base.

For a long time, for a long time.

Xu Qing silently knelt down, touched the rock with both hands, and bowed his head.

No one here can perceive his existence, and naturally no one can see that on the rock where Xu Qing bowed his head, the water droplets flowed down his face and the tip of his nose, dripping down into the rock, like ink.

Only the colorful colors of Zhaoxia Mountain itself continued to spread, as if it had turned into a gentle hand, gently stroking Xu Qing's trembling body and silently crying face.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Qing's forehead touched a rock.

"Father...mother, rest in peace..."

Xu Qing murmured, his voice was a little fuzzy, and only he could hear it.

Finally, he raised his head and couldn't see the tears.

He stood up, feeling bleak, and walked down the mountain silently.

The sky is bright at this moment.

Endless sunlight fell, shining on Xu Qing's back, and also completely shining on Zhaoxia Mountain.

The sun is shining, magnificent and bright, beautiful, beautiful.

Xu Qing left.

His desire all along is actually not that complicated, he just wants to come to Zhaoxia Mountain and worship in front of his parents' tombs.

After a long time, Xu Qing, who had walked down the mountain, looked back at this mountain of colorful rays of light between heaven and earth, and stared at it for a long time.

"In the future, when I have no regrets, I want to live here."

Xu Qing murmured softly and closed his eyes.

When he opened it again after a few breaths, he put away all the thoughts in his heart, his eyes showed coldness again, he turned and walked away, his steps became more determined.

He is going to a canyon under the deep sea outside Zhaoxia Mountain, which is not far from Zhaoxia Mountain, and it is the place where the last morning glow in the record was formed.

He was going to look over there to see if there were any clues.

Under the abyss, it seems that there are two worlds above. The fog cuts off the sunlight, and the cold cuts off the warmth.

Xu Qing walked into the darkness along Zhaoxia Mountain, and the speed became faster and faster, turning into an afterimage, going deeper and deeper into the darkness until reaching the bottom of Zhaoxia Mountain.

It is also the bottom of this deep sea.

Here is filled with heterogeneity, full of evil, occasionally some green will-o'-the-wisps appear in the surrounding darkness, and while they float up and down, there is silence.

"After the sun falls, what comes out is also heterogeneous..." After Xu Qing sensed it, he was thoughtful and galloped forward with vigilance and vigilance.

He is very clear that there must be a crisis in the heterogeneous and rich Yuanhai, and many evils will definitely be born here. In fact, this is the reason why the monks in Zhaoxia state do not rush from the ground.

Like the forbidden sea, no one knows how many terrifying existences exist under this deep sea.

Long-term stays will increase the danger.

While Xu Qing was vigilant, he also increased his concealment. His figure was like a ghost, and he quickly approached the canyon he was going to.

Two hours later, Xu Qing, who had left the range of the Zhaoxia Mountain Formation, arrived at his destination.

The so-called canyon is actually a huge crack in the bottom of the abyss, fully hundreds of feet wide, and the length of the spread reaches thousands of feet.

Bursts of black mist drifted out from the crack and merged into the surroundings.

After Xu Qing saw it from a distance, he was about to rush, but suddenly his expression changed, and he squatted down abruptly, hiding behind a rock, squinting his eyes to see the mist coming out of the canyon in the distance.

In the fog, Xu Qing sensed some familiar fluctuations.

"Delicious...smoke..." Almost at the same time as Xu Qing was probing, the shadow also spread divine thoughts quickly, and spread out at the same time, making the stone lion and head wrapped by it tremblingly revealed.

After the two of them appeared, they didn't dare to move. It was the feeling of being eaten by the shadow that made them terrified.

Xu Qing ignored the lion and the head, stared at it for a moment, and after noticing that there was indeed a figure of the Misty Clan in the mist, he did not act rashly, but ordered the shadow to spread over to investigate.

Soon the shadow was speeding forward on the ground, submerged in the canyon, and returned soon, expressing emotions to Xu Qing, but this expression was very vague, as if what it saw was too complicated.

Even the Patriarch of the Vajra Sect was at a loss.

Xu Qing frowned, waved his hand to remove the head from the stone lion's tail, and threw it to the shadow.

"Take it there."

Under the panic of the head, the shadow swallowed it in one gulp, went straight to the canyon, and when he came back after a while, the head opened his mouth quickly.

"My lord, I saw that there are all Yanmiao tribes inside, almost hundreds of them, and there are several Nascent Souls among them!"

"They are assembling a magic weapon. After my careful observation and research, combined with my rich knowledge, I recognized it at a glance. It is a one-time burst interference taboo magic weapon."

The ancestor of the Vajra Sect frowned, his eyes swept over his head, and he felt more crisis in the dark.

When Xu Qing heard about it, he looked towards the canyon with a cold light in his eyes.

It is so close to Zhaoxia Mountain and assembled with such a magic weapon, it is not difficult to guess the purpose of the Yanmiao Clan. The target that the other party wants to interfere is most likely related to Zhaoxia Mountain.

Although it is a bit hasty to guess like this, after all, there is still a possibility that the probability can be used in other places.

But...it is wrong to be wrong, it is not important to Xu Qing, he is full of disgust for this Yanmiao clan, and Zhaoxia Mountain is very different in Xu Qing's heart now.

Therefore, it is enough to destroy the canyon where the Yanmiao tribe is located.

"If there is a Nascent Soul, it's not good to go in directly." Xu Qing raised his right hand and waved it, and the third heavenly palace was shaken immediately, and the power of drug prohibition was released, spreading rapidly along his body in all directions.

Then he sensed the direction of the cold wind here, quietly went to the downwind place, and released the poison again.

In this way, he spent half an hour continuously spreading the power of the drug ban in these four directions, and finally calculated to make sure it was enough. He squatted in the distance, with killing intent in his eyes, and raised a finger with his right hand.

The poison that filled the surroundings suddenly surged, and there were countless small black insects in it, roaring towards the cracks in the canyon.

In the blink of an eye, all the poison rushed into the canyon.

Soon, a shrill sound and roar suddenly came from the canyon.

At the same time, in the depths of the abyss some distance from here, a finger the size of a hundred feet was galloping recklessly, and all the living creatures it passed were bound behind it.

Looking around, there were hundreds of monks of various races behind them, all of whom were involved and unable to escape, looking desperate.
