Chapter 545 Three Women, One Snake and One Man

This soft and charming voice, like rain rays, fell into the French ship, passed into Xu Qing's ears, and was also heard by Ling'er.

Ling'er's eyes widened, looking out suspiciously.

Xu Qing's expression was as usual, and when he heard the words, he raised his hand, and the French ship's protection immediately dissipated, and Ding Xue's figure also stepped on the moonlight at the moment the French ship's shield dissipated.

The person who came into Xu Qing's eyes had long hair shawl, purple clothes all over his body, a gold belt tied around his hair, shining brightly in the moonlight, and the ancient bronze sword on his back was even more sassy.

But there is no shortage of coquettishness, with smiling, pretty and seductive eyes, rippling affection, the corners of the small mouth are slightly raised, and the red lips are slightly parted, which has the meaning of attracting a kiss.

In line with the youthful years, Ding Xue, who arrived, transformed into a seductive woman after two years of absence.

And the moonlight seems to become shy in front of this charming figure who always attracts the opposite sex and affects the nerves of the opposite sex, flowing with charm.

Xu Qing was also a little surprised, and instinctively looked towards the farther shore.

"Brother Xu Qing, why are you looking at him like that?" Ding Xueqiao blushed slightly and walked into the cabin.

"I didn't look at you, I was looking for Zhao Zhongheng." Xu Qing said truthfully.

Ding Xue's plump chest heaved, obviously Xu Qing's incomprehensible words had a lot of lethality, but to Ding Xue, these were nothing.

Difficulties are not just overcome!
With her beautiful eyes looking forward, she walked up to Xu Qing, looking at the face in front of her, Ding Xuefang's heart was pounding, and she couldn't help swallowing.

While trying to restrain herself, she felt very regretful about her failure to take down Xu Qing on Mermaid Island back then.

"It's all Zhao Zhongheng's fault, hmph, but it's okay, it's up to people!"

Ding Xue cheered herself up, raised her hand and took out a stack of spirit tickets, and placed them in front of Xu Qing, deliberately revealing her snow-white arms like lotus roots.

"Brother Xu Qing, this is the income of 170 six ports of the Seven Blood Pupils in the past two years. No matter how shrewd Zhang San is, he is not as careful as me, and he can't do without a single spirit coin."

Xu Qing nodded. He already knew that Ding Xue had been collecting income for him in the past two years from Senior Brother Zhang San. Xu Qing was very grateful for Ding Xue's warm heart.

Especially thinking of those spirit stones that the other party paid for knowledge when he was the poorest, this made Xu Qing have a good impression of Ding Xue from the beginning to the end.

So with a smile on his face, he took the spiritual ticket, took out a little from it, and handed it to Ding Xue.

"Give these to you."

Ding Xue blinked and didn't pick it up immediately, but fiddled with the corners of her clothes with both hands, looking hesitant to speak. After a few breaths, she thought in her heart that the fire was almost ready, so she took out a white and flawless bottle from the storage bag , set aside.

"Brother Xu Qing, this is the sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed soup I made by myself. I plan to send it to my aunt and uncle. Can you taste it for me first?"

Xu Qing hesitated, but there was nothing to refuse, so he took it over, took a sip, and frowned slightly.

"a bit sweet."

Ding Xue's face blushed and said shyly.

"Brother Xu Qing, you...you know."

Xu Qing felt that this sentence was a bit strange, and just about to speak, Ding Xue stood up blushing.

"Brother Xu Qing, I'm leaving first. You have to rest well when you come back. I will come to see you tomorrow."

"Also, thank you brother for giving me the pocket money."

Ding Xue picked up the spiritual ticket at the side, blushed even more, and ran out quickly. After leaving the French ship, she was on the shore with a proud expression on her face.

"Sure enough, the method taught by my aunt is useful. I have to position myself as the big housekeeper. But if I want to take Brother Xu Qing down, I can't rush this matter. I have to moisten things quietly. Feeling, melted by me."

"Besides, don't be too proactive. You have to dress yourself up as a prey. My aunt said, that's how she took down my uncle back then."

Ding Xue thought of this, and began to list her plans in her heart, very detailed...

In the cabin, Xu Qing frowned, Ding Xue's words were somewhat ambiguous.

"Brother Xu Qing." Ling'er got out from Xu Qing's neckline with a serious tone.

"You have to be careful with her. I just felt that she looked at you, Brother Xu Qing, with aggression hidden in her eyes, and she seemed to have a strong purpose. I heard from my father that there are many people who are good at seizing houses. There is this implication, Brother Xu Qing, she is a bad person."

When Xu Qing heard the words, he was instinctively vigilant at first, but then felt that it was unlikely, but after all, he was still a little more wary in his heart.

Seeing that Xu Qing still agrees with her, Linger is very happy.

"Brother Xu Qing, I am amazing. I can especially observe the details of other people's expressions. With me here, I will definitely be able to help you distinguish who is the bad guy."

Xu Qing smiled and was about to meditate, but soon he raised his head and looked outside.

Not long after, a woman's voice with excitement and a slight trill came from outside the boat.

"Brother Xu Qing, you are finally back..."

Outside the boat, a young girl in black was standing there, holding a big clay jar in her hand and carrying it on her shoulders.

The jar was much larger than her thin body, and it looked very uncoordinated.

But it is precisely because of this that it brings out her specialness more and more. Her fair face, faint willow-leaf eyebrows, and small eyes seem to be able to fully reveal her inner world.

It's full of obsession, fanaticism, and a kind of morbid attachment.

From the bare arm, you can also see countless bloodstains, which were scratched by fingernails and caused by self-torture.

In addition, the small nose and small mouth on her pretty face are also very iconic, and the ponytail from one end to the top adds a bit of beauty.

The exquisite shape, the obsessive gaze, the scar on the arm, all of these formed a very unique figure.

Words.

When she jumped, she was about to collide with the protection of the magic ship, and Xu Qing's magic ship has the power of golden core, and its cultivation base is at the foundation of great perfection. Once touched, it will definitely be reflected The shock was severe.

But she didn't care.

Xu Qing understood Yanyan's state of mind, so he let go of his protection, allowing Yanyan to step in smoothly.

The moment she stepped on the deck, Yan Yan showed a look of regret. She seemed to be prepared for a serious injury, and she was looking forward to it. She was unscathed at the moment, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

But thinking of the next thing, she trembled with excitement again, rushed into the cabin quickly, put the quagmire aside with a bang, waved a whole set of torture instruments, and appeared beside her with a clatter.

There are needles, knives, pliers, serrations...

It is more comprehensive than two years ago, and even many of them are covered with dry black blood.

This set of instruments of torture had obviously been used many times, and it was contaminated with resentment and evil spirit, permeating the entire cabin.

"Brother Xu Qing, let's...let's start."

Yan Yan's nose contracted, his breathing became short of breath, and he raised his hand to pat the mud.

As the quagmire shattered, wisps of mist rose from within, and it was clearly the Misty Clan.

Although the Yanmiao tribe was sanctioned by the human race after the change of the county magistrate, some of them were aware of it in advance and escaped, or went out and did not return.

There are strong people and ordinary people in it.

The latter emerged from the quagmire at this moment. Although there were quite a few of them, most of them exuded foundation-building aura fluctuations. Occasionally there were Tiangong Golden Pills, which were also extremely weak.

"Brother Xu Qing, my grandma took me to catch it. Unfortunately, the big ones were not found. There are only these fish and shrimps, but they are enough for us to play with."

"After you left, I was alone, and it wasn't interesting to play at all."

Excitement and anticipation were in Yan Yan's eyes, and she raised her hand to grab it, and suddenly a figure of the Misty Clan was caught by her, floating in the palm of her struggle, and a large number of knives flew from the side, spinning around at high speed, forming a knife wind.

While tearing the fog body apart, there was no scream.

Because no matter how it is torn apart, the mist body of the Misty Clan will still melt together in an instant, so the pain of tearing cannot last, and it is difficult to scream in pain.

Even so, seeing the mist body of the Yanmiao clan being torn apart, this scene still fascinated Yan Yan, and as her body trembled more and more, she couldn't help looking at Xu Qing.

Just about to speak, she found that Xu Qing's expression seemed indifferent, which made her stunned for a moment, and hesitated to speak.

"Brother Xu Qing, don't you like this?"

During the speech, anxiety appeared in Yan Yanyan's eyes, and even the aura on his body began to become sluggish and chaotic, and his expression was nervous, implying despair.

She is very concerned about Xu Qing's answer, and this answer can also affect her inner world.

Xu Qing was thoughtful, and he saw something wrong with his words.

Although the other party was also sick two years ago, he was still far from being as crazy as he is now. The scratches on his arm are full of new and old injuries, and it is conceivable that the whole body must be like this.

And the meaning of suffocation contained in the depths of his eyes seems to be the instinctive appeal of a drowning person before he dies.

Her illness is getting worse.

It's not killing others, it's killing herself. Only in the extreme pain and distortion can she breathe smoothly and find fun.

There was a deep light in Xu Qing's eyes, and an old voice that outsiders could not hear came from his ears.

"Xu Qing, please help the only granddaughter of Laoshang... Because of her innocuous body, she has been infested with demons since she was a child, and her personality has become more and more violent. Although I often purify her, it is entangled with her personality. Evil thoughts cannot be eradicated."

"Especially when she failed to be promoted to Jindan before, her mind almost collapsed. Although I can protect her body, the depression in her heart has reached the extreme. Either killing others or killing herself, and even more withdrawn, I have no other way , she only recognizes you"

It was the voice of Yan Yan's grandmother, Master Dongyou, very bitter.

Xu Qing was silent, looked at Yanyan, and saw the despair in his eyes and the lethargy of his breath. The sea of ​​consciousness of his whole person seemed to be riddled with holes, and was shrouded in a thick depression.

"Childish!" Xu Qing said suddenly.

Yan Yan raised his head and looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was expressionless, and raised his right hand to grab it. Suddenly, a wisp of mist from the Misty Clan flew over and appeared in Xu Qing's palm. The cold air radiated from Xu Qing's body and gathered away. , an ice cube formed, freezing the mist inside.

Xu Qing waved his hand, and immediately said that the needles in the instrument of torture flew towards them, and under the blessing of Xu Qing's cultivation, they pierced through the ice and pierced into the body of the misty mist who was frozen and unable to move.

The screams came from the ice block immediately, and with the arrival of the flying knives, they were inserted into the ice block one by one, cutting the sealed Misty Clan.

Because it was sealed by ice, the cut parts could not be joined together, and soon the ice cubes turned into dozens of pieces, and Xu Qing placed them on the ground one by one, forming a large font with a distance from each other.

The kind of torture that can be felt and seen, but cannot be touched and cannot be restored is not only the physical pain, but also the mental pain.

The screams were even more horrific.

Yan Yan's eyes suddenly glowed with a strong light, her breathing became short again, and the excitement in her trembling body began to recover.

Xu Qing ignored it, threw these ice cubes to Yan Yan, grabbed them again, and suddenly the second smoky mist came, this time Xu Qing no longer used ice, but poison.

The poison spread out and quickly merged into the fog body, and its influence filled the fog. It was not only the fog body that was poisoned, but also the soul was corroded.

So the tragic wailing spread even more intensely throughout the cabin.

Yan Yan's excitement rose again, and that scream sounded in her ears, like the most beautiful sound of nature in the world.

It's not over, Xu Qing said coldly.

"Tear off a piece of your cloth for me."

Yan Yan was extremely well-behaved, and without any hesitation, he tore off a large piece of clothing on his body, exposing his scarred skin due to the force.

But she didn't care, she quickly crawled up to Xu Qing like a puppy, and passed the cloth over with both hands.

After Xu Qing took it, he waved it slightly, and the cloth became wet immediately, containing the power of the seal, then grabbed the third wisp of mist and pressed it directly on the cloth.

Immediately, the cloth turned black, and the figures of the Yanmiao clan were clearly revealed under the adsorption of the cloth.

Xu Qing threw it to Yan Yan and spoke lightly.

"In this way, it loses the freedom of the body and the freedom of the soul."

"Blind pursuit of physical cruelty, whether it is for oneself or for the enemy, is only one of the means, not all. After using it, it is a childish performance."

"The torment in the heart is a higher level."

Xu Qing spoke calmly.

Yan Yan's body trembled, her red lips parted slightly, the more she was reprimanded by Xu Qing, the more intense her inner joy became, and the obsession in her eyes reached the extreme, so she raised her hand, bit her finger, and handed it to Xu Qing tremblingly. green.

Xu Qing's eyes turned cold.

Yan Yan bowed his head, retracted his fingers, and put them in his mouth to suck.

The stagnant aura in his sea of ​​consciousness is rapidly dissipating, and the fluctuations in his cultivation are also rising in his body.

Vaguely, it seems that the first heavenly palace is about to be formed.

But it was still a little bit worse.

Seeing this, Xu Qing secretly sighed and raised his index finger.

Almost the moment he lifted his finger, Yanyan crawled over immediately, sucked it up quickly, narrowed his eyes, and seemed to be sublimated, with an expression of extreme comfort and unprecedented satisfaction.

It seemed that she had been waiting for this day for a long time.

And her heavenly palace was also formed suddenly at this moment!

The shock of the mind made Yan Yan unable to bear it, and passed out.

The next moment, Master Dongyou's voice of gratitude came from outside the cabin.

"Thank you..."

Immediately afterwards, Yan Yan's body disappeared, was removed by Master Dongyou, and left the boat.

Inside the cabin, everything was quiet.

After a long while, Ling'er poked her head out of Xu Qing's collar, and stared blankly at the place where the previous words were. Xu Qing was a little embarrassed, and was about to explain, when Ling'er suddenly took a breath.

"Brother Xu Qing, this is a monster, even worse than the previous one, she actually bit your finger, you must be careful!"

Before Xu Qing could speak, a soft laughter echoed in the cabin.

"What a lovely little girl."

As soon as the voice came out, Xu Qing's body froze immediately.

He can ignore Ding Xue's arrival, and he can suppress her words, but in the eight alliances, there is a woman who has never been in a panic since Xu Qing met her.

Whether it's the jaw hooked at the first encounter, or the changeable style during the river cruise, or the gaze of the eyes in the county, the nakedness of the method of protection...

If you understand, she understands better than you, if you don't understand, she also understands better than you.

What you see is what she has seen before, and what you have never seen, she is more familiar with than you.

She knows what you think in your heart, and even the thoughts you don't realize seem to be clear to her.

Impeccable.

At this moment, following the reverberation of the voice and the instinctive stiffness of Xu Qing's body, this stunning beauty came from nothingness.

She was dressed in a white dress decorated with lavender roses, with a moon-embroidered ribbon of the same color around her waist. Her jet-black hair was tied up in a princess bun with a beaded hairpin and tassels hanging from it.

On the delicate and beautiful face, the eyebrows are slender and picturesque, and the eyes are shining like stars.

The corners of the mouth are raised, and the smile spreads, which seems to be able to moisten and sultry all around, but also has a dignified and noble temperament, quiet and elegant, like a lotus emerging from water, spotless.

Only the face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling looked at Xu Qing with a trace of resentment and sadness.

This person is the peerless Zixuan Shangxian.

Linger's eyes widened suddenly, and she instinctively hid.

Xu Qing took a deep breath, stood up and bowed to the visitor.

"I have seen Shang Xian."

Zixuan smiled lightly, walked up to Xu Qing naturally, and raised his hand to pat off some of the dust that fell from his body, so that it would not be contaminated by Xu Qing.

He tidied up the folds of his shirt again.

Then she looked deeply into Xu Qing's eyes, and the moment her eyes met, she spoke softly.

"Peace is good enough."

A simple sentence, four words, is full of care, concern, worry, and longing. All these emotions are clearly transmitted to Xu Qing's heart in these four words, and turned into warmth.

Xu Qing's body trembled, and this warmth unconsciously spread into his heart, making his stiff body relax a bit, allowing Zixuan to hold his hand and sit aside.

Familiar fragrance smelled into the nostrils, and the tassels from Zixuan's beautiful hair swayed with the posture of sitting down, and at a glance, it seemed that he could be drawn to his thoughts, and even his mind was shaken accordingly.

Xu Qing was a little absent-minded, instinctively cautious.

Zixuan's beautiful eyes looked forward, and her soft voice spread across the cabin.

"I know where your heart is going and where you are going. I will not stop you, but I want to tell you that at that time, if I knew about this, I would stand up with you."

"You should know what I said is not false."

"I have a decisive personality. Once I decide something, I will not change it. No matter who persuades me, even if the world falls apart, I will not regret it."

Zixuan's voice turned into ripples in Xu Qing's heart, constantly fluctuating.

He believed.

Xu Qing couldn't remember what he saw in the palace in the Immortal Forbidden Land, he only recalled that there was a lamp there, and that there was a figure exactly like Zixuan there.

But at the moment when he heard Zixuan's words, it seemed that there was some overlap with a certain picture buried deep in his memory. Although he still couldn't remember the details of the picture, he remembered this feeling.

It is true that no one can persuade her to change the character of the other party.

After a long time, Xu Qing spoke softly.

"I see."

The smile on Zixuan's face is even more beautiful.

"Your master invited me to take Xuanyouzong and some of the Seven Blood Eyes to the county capital. The two sects will be integrated later to form a new sect. I agree."

"He asked me to come up with a name for this new sect."

"I'm here to ask you, what do you think of the name Qingxuanzong?"

Xu Qing hesitated, but finally nodded.

Zixuan's gentle eyes fell on Xu Qing's face, and then glanced at his collar, finally smiled, and talked to Xu Qing about Qingxuanzong's future development.

He was talking about business the whole time, but the voice he preferred to listen to gave people an extremely comfortable feeling, making people unconsciously forget the passage of time.

Xu Qing also gradually relaxed.

Until late at night, Zi Xuan said softly.

"I have one more thing to do here, to redraw a guardian totem for you, come, take off your clothes."

When Xu Qing's relaxed body froze again, Zixuan let out a melodious laugh, with a playful look in his eyes, stood up, and left the French ship, only a soft voice echoed in the cabin.

"Then, Ah Qing, see you all across the county."

The cabin slowly quietened down.

After a long time, Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and when she instinctively looked down at the neckline, Ling'er crawled out tremblingly from inside, with nervous eyes, she opened her mouth quickly.

"Brother Xu Qing! This is the most dangerous, this is a big devil!!"

"It's too scary, Brother Xu Qing. Compared with this big devil, those villains in front are not at the same level at all."

Xu Qing coughed and comforted Ling'er.

In Ling'er's half-belief, time passed and several days passed.

During the Yanyan retreat, Zixuan did not appear again, only Ding Xue came to Xu Qing's side from time to time, but all her plans could not be carried out.

On the one hand, Zhao Zhongheng appeared. Although he was very nervous about Xu Qing, he still gritted his teeth and followed Ding Xue silently. His expression was firm, and when he looked at Ding Xue, he looked like you would eventually be moved by me. Qing is also emotional.

On the other hand, it was Xu Qing who hadn't come back for two years, so he had a lot of things to deal with, and the different identities also made all the sects in Yinghuang Prefecture come to visit Qiye in the past few days, and occasionally Qiye would let Xu Green participation.

In this way, ten days later, amidst Ding Xue's restlessness, Xu Qing was ready to go out.

He is going to Nanhuangzhou to pay homage to Team Lei.

Before leaving, Qi Ye gave him a long jade box.

"Here is the divine weapon refined from the god fishbone as a teacher. You can try it out on the way to get familiar with it. This thing is powerful and can be used as your self-defense."

"And for you, this fishbone soldier has the same origin as your body, and it is most suitable for you to use it."

Inside the jade box is a black thorn, the thickness of a finger, filled with natural patterns, a terrifying aura circulates in it, and even the fluctuation of the gods spreads in all directions.

Although it was a dead thing, the moment Xu Qing looked at it, his whole body trembled, as if it had been given a breath.

It is consistent with Xu Qing's breathing, forming a traction on the blood.

The feeling that such a thing is a part of himself made Xu Qing clearly feel the sharpness of this thorn, and at the same time his heart palpitations arose, Qi Ye spoke softly.

"In the eyes of the gods and spirits, ordinary things are so fragile that it is difficult to hurt them in the slightest, but this thing...can hurt the gods, and it contains the theocracy of bad luck."

"Therefore, I named it, the thorn of doom."
