out of time

Chapter 534
On the sky, the colorful clouds are shining, filling the sky, and it looks like a splendid and beautiful scene.

The color of the cloud and mist was also changed, revealing a golden yellow, hanging high in the sky, as if witnessing this grand ceremony.

The roar of the four-clawed golden dragon caused more rays of light to be swallowed up when it roared in all directions, and there was a tall and illusory figure in the vagueness, as if it was the sheriff of Fenghai County in the past, witnessing all this here.

Of course, it's just a phantom transformed by luck.

In addition, there are also bursts of rainwater gathered by spiritual energy, falling from between the clouds and mist, and when it falls to the sky and the earth, it will completely dissipate the remaining Immortal Forbidden here.

Countless plants are growing vigorously, and the cultivation of all living beings in the county is rising, and some chronic diseases and injuries are also speeding up.

It's like the arrival of prosperity.

This scene made everything repaired here, and everyone in the county capital cheered.

Even the representatives sent by various ethnic groups in Fenghai County could not help being awed when they witnessed this from a distance.

Even the Near Immortal Clan lowered their heads respectfully.

Outside the altar, some of the commanders of the imperial capital army who came with the prince showed fanaticism in their eyes. For them, the seventh prince in front of them led them to victory, and made every general obtain incomparable achievements.

This also includes the Commander of the Three Palaces.

There is Jun Cheng, he stood there, looking at the sky, his expression showed a sigh of relief at this moment, which contained memories, as if he had seen a person do this in a certain time, and he was far away. beyond.

"It doesn't matter, everything is back, my lord, at most three days after the completion of the Shenglan clan's transaction, I can sacrifice the entire Fenghai County, and squeeze out a supreme fruit of all luck, bringing to see you."

The sheriff smiled and murmured in his heart, he was as scheming as he was, so it was inevitable that there would be some turmoil in his heart at this moment, but the trance formed by this memory quickly dissipated from the magistrate's face.

He still smiled gently, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes became clearer.

Xu Qing was at the back of the crowd, looking up as well, but what he was looking at was not the Seventh Prince, but the huge statue of the Xuanyou Ancient Emperor.

In his mind, a sentence echoed again.

"Whoever holds the sword, below the emperor, can be beheaded!"

This sentence echoed for more than 20 days, and was suppressed by him for more than 20 days.

"Eldest brother, why should we go back and find a reason to leave?" Xu Qing whispered to the captain beside him.

"Simple, I've thought it through. We're almost two years old. Using some military achievements can shorten the three-year rule that newly promoted sword-holders must stay in the county capital. At that time, we will choose to release it outside, and then I will operate it to let Let's release it back to Yinghuang State."

The captain spoke proudly.

"Has it been two years?" Xu Qing felt that the time passed a little fast.

"Yeah, two years."

The captain was also a little emotional.

"Then I'm twenty this year."

"That's right, little Ah Qing, you haven't fully grown up yet." The captain laughed.

"Twenty years old." Xu Qing also smiled.

At this moment, amidst the cheers from all directions, the Seventh Prince on the altar raised his hand slightly, and in an instant, the tens of thousands of people in the square became quiet, and gradually the county also became quiet.

"I'm Fenghai County Human Race Erlang, you have suffered a lot in the past six months."

The Seventh Prince spoke softly.

"I have seen the blood you shed, the Human Sovereign has seen your sacrifices, and the human race has seen your sacrifices."

"The war is over."

"My human race, great victory!"

"The Heitian clan has bullied our human race for tens of thousands of years, and they paid the price for it. On the battlefield of the imperial capital, hundreds of millions of Heitian clan died, and the Sun of Dawn broke out in the two domains, killing the Heitian clan members Ten times as much!"

"My human domain treasure is earth-shattering. The most terrifying thing is that it is not a short-term effect. It will continue to burn in the Heitian clan domain for a period of time!"

"During this Jiazi period, the Heitian Clan will die a hundred times more, and the form of all the born clansmen will also be changed during this period. Although they also have War Domain Treasures, they only have one, and they have no determination to perish together, so they can only be collected. It's just that the Red Mother High God whom I rely on has also fallen into a deep sleep!"

"As for my human race, three were released in this battle, and there are more."

"This battle, our human race, is the first of its kind in tens of thousands of years. Xuanzhan Renhuang is known to all the world!"

The Seventh Prince's tone was passionate, and his voice resounded through the sky.

"And Fenghai County, with our joint efforts, stick to it!"

"Not only that, I... brought back the lost land of the Three States for you!"

"Not only took back the three states, but also the half of the Shenglan Great Domain, all of which were taken back by my human race!"

"There are nine counties and hundreds of prefectures in that half-territory."

Bursts of excitement rose again in all directions.

The Seventh Prince stared at the ground with some determination in his eyes, and his voice became a little deeper.

"But I know that there may be some people who think that my actions are a bit cruel, and that my actions are to turn Fenghai County into my territory."

"I have already reported this matter to the Emperor, and I have obtained the consent of the Emperor, so today, I will choose a person you are familiar with to be the sheriff of Fenghai County for you."

"Afterwards, I will leave Fenghai County and may never come back. I will go to Shenglan and guard the frontier for the human race!"

After the prince finished speaking, without waiting for the reaction of the people below, he faced the statue of Xuanyou ancient emperor, bowed and then turned around, looked up at the illusory shadows of past dynasties in the sky, and bowed again with fists clasped.

"The county of Fenghai must not be left alone. The princesses of all dynasties are all heroes."

"Today, I, Ancient Yue Zhang An, as the seventh son of Xuan Zhan Renhuang, have elected one person as the new governor. After the people of heaven and earth have asked their hearts, I will report to Renhuang and issue a decree to bestow the title!"

"Jun Cheng!" The Seventh Prince lowered his head and looked under the altar.

Jun Cheng smiled and bowed slightly.

"You control the sultan, benefit the people in the county, and make tens of thousands of people less suffering from the invasion of aliens. This is the first achievement!"

"During the time you were the county magistrate, you worked hard, assisted the county magistrate, and pitied the people. You worked hard and made great achievements. This is the second merit!"

"During the war, you protect the rear, keep the people of Fenghai County in peace, and contribute your strength to the frontline war. This is the third merit!"

"Afterwards, you will lead the monks in Fenghai County, restore all operations and reconstruction of Fenghai County, and make Fenghai County the same as before. This is the fourth achievement!"

Following the words of the Seventh Prince, a sum of credit was spread all over the world. The 10 people under the altar and the tens of millions of people in the county capital all heard it, and respectful eyes all gathered on the county magistrate.

Jun Cheng is gentle and compassionate.

Xu Qing bowed his head, he didn't want to look at it, he was silent at the moment, he was telling himself in his heart, there are still seven days, after seven days, he can return to Qixuetong.

"This ceremony is almost over."

Xu Qing murmured inwardly.

At this moment, the Seventh Prince finished all the credits, and amidst the bursts of cheers, he smiled and nodded to Xiajun Cheng.

Jun Cheng walked out calmly, step by step, under the gaze of all the people, he walked up the steps, walked up to the altar, and walked up to the side of the Seventh Prince.

The wind blows from all directions.

That is not the formation of spells, but invisible luck is gathering here.

From all the ordinary people in the county capital, and from all the monks, a trace of luck is rising into the sky.

Indistinctly, the clouds in the sky also dimmed a little. With the gathering of luck, a huge vortex transformed into the sky.

It is gradually becoming clearer.

"This is the blessing of a county's luck. Although it is not very useful for us, but for Guixu cultivators, with this county's luck, it can increase the power of one level, and even increase it to half a step. God, it's not impossible!"

"With the blessing of luck, in Fenghai County, this one can be regarded as the real supreme."

The captain was beside him, and whispered enviously.

Xu Qing bowed his head and remained silent.

At this moment, on the altar, the Seventh Prince looked at the Jun Cheng beside him.

Jun Cheng was gentle and spoke softly.

"My God, can this old man serve as the guard of Fenghai County?"

In the coronation ceremony of the sheriff, the key point is to ask the world, ask people, this is the tradition and etiquette established by the ancient emperor Xuanyou.

The sky here refers to the ancient emperor Xuanyou, and the Seventh Prince, as the royal family, can represent the sky here at this moment, so he stared at the magistrate and nodded.

"Can!"

As soon as his words came out, there was a roar of thunder in the sky, as if a million thunders had exploded. The loud noise reverberated, and the vortex formed by luck became clearer and faintly formed a crown ring.

There are twelve crowns for the emperor, ten crowns for the domain, nine crowns for the prince, and five crowns for the county.

This is an ancient rule, which is still maintained today.

What is transfigured in the sky at this moment is a five-pronged crown formed by luck.

At the moment when the thunder reverberated, suddenly, in the crown of the sky that gathered the power of Fenghai County's luck, there was a faint cry of a child, echoing in Xu Qing's mind.

Xu Qing suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky. The cry was faintly visible, but judging from the reactions of other people around him, no one seemed to notice.

"Eldest brother, did you hear that?" Xu Qing said suddenly.

The captain looked as usual, took a deep look at Xu Qing, and then shook his head.

"I didn't hear it, and neither did you."

Xu Qing was silent, he knew that it was the cry of luck, the cry of the little boy Ding Yisaner, the senior brother was the same as himself in terms of the heavenly personality, so he must be able to hear it.

At this moment, the cries were rising and falling in his ears, turning into waves in his heart.

"I still have a lot of things to do, and I have to return to the Seven Blood Eyes... My cultivation base is not enough, I want to live on, everything will have to wait until the cultivation base is high in the future, and it will not be too late to solve it."

Xu Qing murmured in his heart, but while he was comforting himself, there was a shrill voice in his mind telling him that the person in front of him was the murderer who killed the sheriff and indirectly caused the death of the palace lord.

The catastrophe in Fenghai County was also planned by this person for many years.

This was Xu Qing's own voice, which was suppressed by him again.

"What does it have to do with me? Yes, it has nothing to do with me... I'm just a little person who wants to live. I have a master and a brother. I can't implicate them."

Xu Qing lowered his head and clenched his fists.

On the altar, Jun Cheng continued to speak with a calm expression.

"Question, can this old man serve as the guard of Fenghai County?"

The land here refers to the land boundary of Fenghai County, which is a part of the ceremony, and the status of the Seventh Prince makes it possible for him to answer on his behalf.

"Can!"

In an instant, the thunder in the sky exploded again, as if a million thunders exploded, and the air waves formed spread in all directions. When it rolled and shook the sky, more luck gathered, and the crown became clearer, and even fell from the sky and floated in the county. All above the altar.

The cry became thicker, as if it had turned into a pleading.

Xu Qing's chest rose and fell, and his heart was churning. He raised his head and stared silently.

From his point of view, it seemed that Xuanyou ancient emperor was holding the crown of luck with both hands, and was about to put it on the head of the sheriff.

Once the crown ring is worn, the Juncheng will become the governor of the county. With the blessing of luck, the entire Fenghai County will be enveloped by the other party.

From then on, the sky of Fenghai County belongs to Zhuzhao, the land of Fenghai County belongs to Zhuzhao, and the luck of Fenghai County also belongs to Zhuzhao.

Once this happens, the death of Team Lei, Master Bai, and Master Liu, all of these will be regrettable.

It is also unknown whether Qi Ye can escape the investigation with the strength of a county because of the previous Bai Yushou.

"It should be possible, Master will definitely not get in the way, but what if..."

Xu Qing closed his eyelids slightly, clenched his fists with both hands, and then let go, and when he clenched again, the captain's hand was placed on Xu Qing's shoulder.

"Junior brother, why don't we go back in a while."

The captain spoke softly, and pressed the hand on Xu Qing's shoulder very hard.

At the same time, Jun Cheng on the altar, with a gentle smile on his face, glanced at the tens of thousands of people below, and also looked at Xu Qing. Finally, he looked further away and spoke softly.

"Ask people, Erlang of Fenghai County, can I be the guard of Fenghai County?"

This is the last ceremony, and the Seventh Prince has no identity to answer it for him. The one who answers this question should be someone from Fenghai County.

"Can!"

"Can!!"

"Can!!!"

Almost at the moment when Juncheng opened his mouth, 10 people under the altar heard voices, and more voices came from the mouths of ordinary people in the county capital, echoing the world.

This is what the people want!
This is all in one!

This is the approval of heaven, earth and people!

As the sky roared with luck, and thousands of thunderclaps exploded, the five crown rings representing the protection of a county took shape in an instant, the luck gathered, the earth trembled, and the sky was turbulent.

The pleading cries turned into despair, and gradually weakened in Xu Qing's ears.

At this moment, the crown and ring fell from the sky, as if being held by the ancient emperor Xuanyou, and slowly crowned Jun Cheng.

At this moment, Xu Qing's inner emotions struggled to the extreme, and finally turned into a sky thunder, which rumbled open the room and shattered all his thoughts. He raised his head and sighed softly.

In this sigh, he spit out a stale air that had been suppressed in his body for more than 20 days.

He knew that he shouldn't do some things, and he used countless reasons these days to tell himself what to do was the right thing to do.

"But I can't deceive my heart after all."

"I, can't say that word..."

"Eldest brother, I can't hold back."

Xu Qing murmured softly, as the captain's pupils constricted, as Kong Xianglong breathed in, as Qingqiu was stunned, and as everyone around him couldn't understand, his body flew high from the ground!

With 10 people on the ground, Xu Qing lifted off alone!
The whole body is shrouded in rays of light, the mosasaur above the head is transformed, and canopies appear one after another, extremely resplendent.

It has attracted the attention of countless people.

The Seventh Prince looked over.

Jun Cheng stared.

Hundreds of thousands of monks raised their heads one after another.

At the moment when the crown of luck was about to fall, when the crying of the desperate child was about to disappear, Xu Qing stood in midair, looking at the sky and the earth.

At this moment, he didn't want to think about whether his actions were right or wrong, life or death, he wanted to do it according to his heart.

The countless words he had persuaded himself for more than half a month were all pale and powerless at the moment, and he couldn't suppress the rising thoughts in his heart after knowing everything.

Perhaps, his thoughts will change in the next moment, and perhaps again, he may not be like this.

But now, he doesn't want to measure.

His voice echoed in all directions.

"I, Xu Qing, the emperor who asks so much, opposes it!"

Finally, when he said this sentence, he had to add the words "Qingxin Wanzhang", which was a qualification.

After saying these words, an unprecedented relaxation and transparency emerged in Xu Qing's whole body, and the haze that had been suppressed for more than 20 days was swept away.

Fuck the tangle!

Fuck the tradeoffs!

People's hearts can't bury his heart.

The general trend cannot suppress his soul.

What is right and what is wrong, these...fuck it all!
At this moment, Xu Qing's eyes were very bright, his body seemed to be emitting light, and the power of luck in the sky also began to boil, and indistinctly, it actually dispersed from the formed five-pronged crown ring. Gathered above Xu Qing's head!
A slightly smaller five-pronged crown crowned itself on top of Xu Qing's head impressively!

That's the approval of Feng Hai's luck, that's the approval of one side of Heaven!
Although there are many people who can't see it, there are also people who see it!
At this moment, his words, like a shocking thunder, exploded in all directions in an instant, and roared in the minds of everyone who heard it, making the square silent for an instant with 10 people.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of inhalation, howling in all directions like a gust of wind.

The sky changes color.

The Seventh Prince fixed his eyes and looked at the top of Xu Qing's head. There was a huge wave in his heart. He knew Xu Qing.

The only thing that made him remember Xu Qing before was not Xu Qing's credit, nor his small status as the original accompanying letter of the palace master of the Sword Palace, but... the emperor asked so much!
This has never been seen in Fenghai County. Others just know that it is not easy, it is very rare, similar to Genzheng Miaohong, it can be trusted, and it will be of great benefit to future promotion.

But as a prince, he knows more than others. He understands that the emperor asked his heart, which means that he left his name at the statue of the emperor in the imperial capital!

Although the statue of the Great Emperor is not a domain treasure, it is also an inheritance. It has protected the human race many times, and the emperors of all generations have to worship it.

And the Emperor will also pay attention to those who leave their names with the Great Emperor, such a person... even he, cannot be easily moved.

Killing a person who is deeply inquisitive will have a great impact on his reputation.

It is precisely because of the greatness of the emperor's questioning heart that at this moment, Xu Qing's voice, in this reverberation, in this diffusion, after falling into the ears of every monk, caused extremely strong waves.

If today was Xu Qing's first day in the county capital, then even if he had the emperor's endorsement, it would not cause such fluctuations.

No one knows him, no one understands him, for others, he is just a name.

Everything is just an appearance, the people in Fenghai County know that he is extraordinary, but in fact it is not that important.

But now, it's different.

Xu Qing had already unknowingly walked into the hearts of the people in Fenghai County. His assistance provided great help to the western front, and his identity as an accompanying scribe made countless people know of his existence.

His subsequent battles on the front line also gave those cultivators a deep understanding and recognition.

For Feng Haijun, he is his own person, especially for the sword bearer, they are comrades who have gone through life and death together and can trust their backs!
With such a foundation, his questioning heart really became the attention and halo.

It made him stand out, made him deeply remembered and recognized in the hearts of the people in Fenghai County, especially in the Sword Holding Palace, and even more so when they saw him, they would instinctively think of the Palace Master.

Even Kong Xianglong couldn't do this.

Because Kong Xianglong's identity was known only after the death of the palace lord, and Xu Qing was always by the palace lord's side during the war, except for the middle section.

Therefore, his words at this moment can explode like thunder in all directions, making the square quiet, and the entire county seems to vibrate.

But after Xu Qing experienced these things, he already understood that people's hearts are the most elusive thing in this world, and also the most easily influenced thing.

In their eyes, compared with Xu Qing, the ordinary people in the entire county are the ones who benefit everyone.

And Xu Qing is not as good as Jun Cheng.

Even the monks of the three major palaces, although they were shocked at the moment, but the incomprehension, surprise, and bewilderment on their faces made Xu Qing understand what he was going to face.

Being sober is a sin.

At this moment, amidst the reverberation of Xu Qing's words, the Deputy Mistress of the Palace of Holding Swords, the old man who watched the Mistress' fall with tears in his eyes, rushed out and roared at Xu Qing.

"Xu Qing, the exercises I gave you, have you practiced more? You are confused. I advised you not to be greedy, why didn't you listen!"

The palace lord roared angrily, but his eyes were obviously nervous, he turned around quickly, bowed to the altar, and spoke loudly.

"Your Highness, Governor, please don't be offended if something goes wrong with Xu Qing's practice, the old man will punish him when he returns!"

Almost at the same time as the deputy palace lord's words came out, Deacon Sinan and Deacon Sun of the Palace of Holding Swords also rushed into the air and bowed to the altar.

There are also figures of sword-wielding warriors who are trained in hundreds of battles, and they are about to take off at this moment. The number is more than [-]. Kong Xianglong, the captain, Qingqiu, and Ning Yan are all among them.

In any case, no matter how big a mistake Xu Qing made, at this moment, they instinctively want to protect him. Otherwise, Xu Qing will do the same. They are comrades-in-arms!
Especially the captain, who emitted blue light from his body.

On the sky, seeing this, the deputy palace lord immediately shouted to stop everyone from ascending into the sky, and then continued to bow to the altar.

The Seventh Prince squinted his eyes, and his eyes fell on the top of Xu Qing's head, his heart was still turbulent, and then he fell on the more than one hundred thousand Bai Zhan Zhixiu in the crowd below. He understood that if one of this matter is not handled properly today, there will be chaos.

And even if it is handled well, there will still be some taints in the matter of Jun Cheng becoming the county guard. After all, a questioning objection, and the approval of Fenghai County's luck, such a person... his father will also Some thoughts.

However, what does this have to do with me? I have fulfilled the agreement, and if Jun Cheng can't handle it, it has nothing to do with me.

So, the Seventh Prince didn't say anything, he wanted to see how Jun Cheng would deal with it.

Jun Cheng stood on the altar, looked at Xu Qing from a distance, and spoke softly.

"It's okay, but I also want to hear, why do you object? And Xu Qing, I remember teaching you a lesson."

"The child's nonsense, why should the governor take it seriously?" Before Xu Qing could speak, the deputy palace master of the Sword Holding Palace clasped his fists again, then turned to look at Xu Qing, and yelled.

"Not going back yet!"

As he said that, he took a few steps back and was about to take Xu Qing away. His whole body was even more cultivated to prevent sudden changes from the commanders of the imperial capital and the county magistrates.

"Li Yunshan, stop!" Jun Cheng said lightly.

The deputy palace lord paused, it was his name, but he still took a few steps back, arrived at Xu Qing's side, looked up at Jun Cheng, and spoke bitterly but firmly.

"Your Majesty, Xu Qing is the palace lord's accompanying order and the sword bearer. He is young and ignorant, but he will not die. Before the palace lord sacrificed, he entrusted me with loneliness, so... I want to protect him!"

As soon as his words came out, Deacon Sinan and Deacon Sun's respective cultivation bases dispersed, and the tens of thousands of cultivators on the earth exploded in an instant.

The Seventh Prince looked at Jun Cheng with waves in his eyes.

Jun Cheng stared at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing stepped forward, bowed to the deputy palace lord beside him, bowed to the two deacons, and bowed to the more than one hundred thousand comrades in arms in the land, then raised his head, spoke calmly, and spoke softly.

"In April of this year, after the war broke out, when the Palace Master led the army to move forward, he gave me a mission to secretly investigate the death of the county guard!"

As soon as his words came out, the Deputy Palace Mistress who was about to stop him paused, and the hundreds of thousands of monks here all felt turbulent again and looked at Xu Qing.

Under the eyes of everyone, Xu Qing showed no expression on his face, and took out the jade slip given by the palace lord, which was evidence.

"After half a year, I finally completed the investigation. Apart from Yao Hou, there are other suspense points in this case. There seems to be a murderer, but the palace lord has died, and I have no one to report to. Juncheng... can I come here and ask You report? Provide more truth for the death of the county guard, so that all the people in Fenghai County can understand this matter more clearly."

"Please correct me, Jun Cheng!"

On the ground, the captain sighed, his eyes became more blue, and he was about to break the seal.

Kong Xianglong's body trembled, bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly looked at Jun Cheng.

Ning Yan shrank his head, secretly glanced at the Seventh Prince, and sighed secretly.

Qingqiu was silent, but grabbed the sickle's hand and exerted some strength.

There was also a strange sword-wielder who was hiding in the crowd. He looked at Xu Qing with a look of admiration and pride, but at the same time he was also helpless. A golden light flashed in his eyes.

Under the altar, among the commanders brought by the Seventh Prince, the Masked Blood Nightmare who was in charge of opening the Immortal Forbidden, raised his head slightly at this moment, with a gleam in his eyes.

There was silence in all directions, and everyone, in Xu Qing's words, couldn't help but look at the county magistrate. The cause of death of the magistrate was the pain of the entire Fenghai County.

Not to mention, this is the last order of the master of the Sword Holding Palace.

Even the ordinary people in the county capital fell silent when they heard this, and the hearts of the people were shaken.

Compared with Jun Cheng, Xu Qing is inferior in reputation.

Compared with the palace master and the county guard, the county magistrate is not as good.

On the altar, Jun Cheng looked at Xu Qing seriously, as if he wanted to get to know him again, and after a while, he spoke calmly.

"You said."
