out of time

Chapter 571
Three days later, with the end of the sacrificial day, the Red Moon Temple radiated a dazzling red glow in the sky, roaring away into the distance.

Around the heart, dozens of large and small meteorites, accompanied by left and right, moved forward together.

The tribes that hadn't left in the valley land, wearing the same masks, all prostrated themselves on the ground, bowing respectfully and sending them off.

The departure of the temple also made them each heave a sigh of relief. After this sacrifice, they will not have to think about sacrifices for at least five years.

It's just that while they are relieved, there is actually a heaviness in the hearts of every ethnic group.

Because according to the time, the day when the red moon arrives has entered the countdown.

Generally speaking, the time limit for Red Moon's return to this domain is not fixed, but there is a feature that allows people to roughly judge.

That's how often the temple harvests offerings.

When the interval becomes every three to five years, it means that the red moon... will appear at any time.

So when this life is about to end, all kinds of evil will increase rapidly, and in the end, it will be a complete collapse, and all ethnic groups will have wars.

Every time, without exception.

"The Great Moon Festival, the image of purgatory is about to appear." Above the bloody heart, the woman in red stood outside the temple, looking at the earth, and said lightly.

Standing by her side, Xu Qing looked back at the valley far away. After a long time, he withdrew his eyes and lowered his head to look at the ground under his feet.

In the past three days, he has explored the heart where the temple is located.

This heart is very strange, it is alive and still beating, and the thumping sound has the power to shock the mind.

"Outside of the Red Moon Temple, they are located on some organs." Sensing Xu Qing's gaze, the woman in red let out a calm voice.

"Senior, do you know whose organ this is?" Xu Qing asked.

The woman in red shook her head.

"I've checked before, and it's not my brothers and sisters. At the same time, there are traces of being sacrificed in these organs."

"I have been sealed for too long, and I don't know much about the outside world. It is only through eating these people from the temple that I know some outside information."

"But unfortunately, their level is too low, and they don't know whose organ it is."

Xu Qing nodded, at this moment he has changed into a red robe.

This is the sacrificial robe of the Red Moon Temple. Apart from his status as a disciple of the Yin Yang Huajian Sect, he was also given the qualification of a god slave.

"Senior, I have read in some ancient books that your father fought against Hongyue, and there are many legends about the Plain of Repentance..." Xu Qing thought for a while, and asked the biggest doubt in his heart.

He wanted to know the true origin of Chimu.

The woman in red was silent, and spoke lightly after a while.

"Mother Chi died once, and it was my father who killed her. During that time, there were grievances and grudges."

"When she came back again, she had already become a god. At that time, I heard my father say that He came back from the Wanggu land realm."

As soon as the woman in red uttered these two words, the sound of thunder suddenly appeared in the sky, across the sky, roaring in all directions.

Huge waves arose in Xu Qing's mind. This was the first time he knew about Chimu, so he couldn't help but speak.

"Won't Chimu ever be a god? And Wang Gudijie?"

The woman in red didn't answer immediately, but looked up at the sky with a strange light in her eyes, then looked at Xu Qing, thought for a while and then spoke.

"Gods, some are born as gods, some are acquired through cultivation, some come from beyond the sky, and some come from the depths of the earth."

As soon as the words came out, the sky thundered again, shocking all directions.

Xu Qing felt that something was wrong with the sky, and at this moment, there was some mist in the surroundings, then a strong wind picked up, and then there was a heavy rain, and snow fell in the distance.

These changes in heaven and earth appeared at the same time, which made Xu Qing think of the law of heaven.

"Do you still dare to continue listening?"

The woman in red gave Xu Qing a meaningful look.

Xu Qing looked at the sky, felt the mosasaurus slowly recovering from the broken body, recalled the scene of the ten intestine tree, so he nodded.

"How dare you listen to it like this... well, I'll see how much you can hear."

The woman in red smiled and continued to speak.

"The history that exists under the Wanggu land has been erased one by one by the ancient emperors who ruled Wanggu, so very few people know about it, and there... before the ancient years, it has always been called Huangtian."

"There are rumors that in fact, the earliest tribes on the Wanggu Continent came from there."

"Until the ancient emperor Xuanyou named it the land boundary."

A more violent sound came from the sky, and the surrounding nothingness instantly distorted, and a terrifying coercion came from the sky and the earth. Whether it was the sky or the mountains and rivers, there was a rising will at this moment.

Under this huge will, Xu Qing's complexion turned pale, and his mind was overwhelmed. This change in the world seemed to tell Xu Qing that these words belonged to ancient taboos.

Looking at all the heavens in the ancient continent, this matter is not allowed to spread.

"Interesting, after hearing these words, Heavenly Dao has not lowered the power of silence and forgetting, little baby, Heavenly Dao is very partial to you."

The woman in red showed a strange light in her eyes, and looked at Xu Qing carefully.

Xu Qing tried his best to calm himself down, but the will from the surroundings still made him terrified.

"Then let me tell you another secret. In fact, all the gods, their ultimate purpose..." The woman in red showed interest and continued to speak.

But his voice reverberated, but Xu Qing's pupils shrank because he couldn't hear it anymore.

All the sounds around were as usual, except for the words of the woman in red, he couldn't hear the slightest.

The woman in red also noticed this scene and did not continue.

It took half an hour for Xu Qing to recover, with lingering fears in his heart.

In this way, time passed day by day, and the Red Moon Temple headed north at an astonishing speed.

During this period, Xu Qing also tried to inquire many times. Although he would not hear it when the critical moment came, but under this temptation, he still knew a little bit of the secret.

Among them is the realm above Yunshen.

"Shenhuo..." Xu Qing murmured in his heart, he just knew the title, as for the details, he couldn't hear it.

Until one month later, as we moved forward, the ground turned white, and the wind that blew in became colder and colder.

The glacier in the north does not melt, and it is reflected in Xu Qing's eyes.

The entire northern land is formed by glaciers. There is no soil here, only a thick layer of ice, submerging everything in the depths.

The standing mountain peaks are also ice structures, which makes this place full of withering meaning and rare vitality.

"We're here, baby, come with me."

In the midair of the northern glacier, the woman in red showed memories in her eyes, her voice was a little hoarse, and she took a step forward.

Xu Qing followed behind.

As for the Red Moon Temple, it didn't stay here. It turned around and whizzed away into the distance.

Xu Qing looked back.

"There is a gift I gave to the deceased in the Red Moon Temple, and it will be taken over there."

The woman in red opened her mouth lightly, walking on the glacier, sensing something while walking forward, as if she was looking for something.

Xu Qing didn't speak, but followed silently.

The two walked together for several days in this cold wind, and finally Xu Qing saw a sect living on the glacier, the scale was not small, and many disciples could be seen coming in and out.

"That's the You Clan, attached to the Red Moon Temple. Their clan has made contributions to Chimu, so they are allowed to send their clansmen to the temple for generations to serve as guards."

The woman in red showed some sarcasm, without saying much, she led Xu Qing straight to the sect.

When they came, the sect didn't notice anything, and their cognition was affected. In their eyes, Xu Qing and the woman in red didn't exist.

Walking in this You Clan, Xu Qing also had doubts in his heart, he didn't understand why this sect was called a group in the mouth of the woman in red.

As far as he could see, the disciples of this sect belonged to various tribes, not just one ethnic group.

But the woman in red didn't say much, so Xu Qing didn't ask any more questions. The two went all the way to the depths of the sect, where there was a huge crack in the glacier.

Outside the crack, the woman in red closed her eyes and felt it.

"right here."

She looked a little sad, and stepped into the crack.

Xu Qing looked down and stepped in after pondering.

The cold wind blows from under the crack, freezing not only the body, but also the soul, and the further down, the stronger the cold here.

Until the two of them sank for an unknown distance, and Xu Qing's hair and eyebrows turned white, they reached the bottom.

This is a huge ice cave, like a small world, the sky is replaced by ice, and the earth is boundless.

In the distance, Xu Qing saw an underground lake.

The water in this lake is obviously strange, it has not been frozen here, and there are bursts of water mist on it, which is very hazy when viewed from a distance.

In this ambiguity, Xu Qing also saw many You Clan disciples.

Those disciples came down from above, carrying crystal coffins one by one, and placed them on the shore one by one.

A rough look shows that there are hundreds of coffins, densely packed around the lake.

After delivering these coffins, those disciples left immediately.

As for the inside of the coffin, Xu Qing swept his eyes from a distance, and vaguely saw figures lying inside, and judging from their clothes, they were also disciples of this sect.

This scene made Xu Qing a little surprised. When he was about to observe carefully, the lake suddenly surged, and strips of illusory light emitting colorful lights rose from the inside like tentacles, rolling towards the surrounding coffins.

Each of the colorful tentacles wraps around a coffin and pulls it down the lake.

After a short time, all the coffins here sank into the lake and gradually disappeared, while the lake gradually stabilized.

"On the surface, the You Clan is a sect, and there are various clans within it, but in fact, only those who become members of their clan can become the guards of the temple."

"Those who have not become clan members are all food."

"The clansmen who want to become members of their clan need to perform a ceremony. What you saw just now is this ceremony. Those disciples will be sent to a special place, and they will be considered complete if they walk out alive."

"Because they are no longer the ones who walked out."

The woman in red spoke calmly.

"Seize the house?" Xu Qing was thoughtful.

"The ancestor of the You Clan used to be under the command of my father. When the red mother came, he chose to betray and was killed by my father. The big world that was created collapsed and fell apart. Most of them were destroyed, and all life in it perished."

"One of them fell here."

"Mother Chi thought of her meritorious deeds, and blessed the dead people in this fragment of the world, and kept the remnants of their souls, so the You Clan appeared."

Hearing this, Xu Qing turned his head and looked at the lake again. He knew very well that he could be suppressed and killed by the ruler himself, and the world collapsed.

"Let's go, the place we are going to is not here yet."

The woman in red looked at the lake, her eyes fluctuated, she turned and walked towards the depths of the ice cave.

Xu Qing noticed the implication in the other party's words, did not ask any further questions, and followed behind, walking further and further away.

However, because the colorful tentacles of those lakes were pulled down too quickly, there were too many coffins, and the sight and perception were separated to a certain extent, so Xu Qing didn't notice a familiar figure lying in one of the coffins.

At this moment, under the lake, a corpse lying in hundreds of coffins suddenly moved, its eyes opened and closed slightly, and it scanned the surroundings quickly.

After noticing that there was lake water outside, this person showed a smug expression, and quickly glanced at the colorful tentacles pulling the coffin, his smug expression became even stronger.

"Little You Clan, if I want to come in, it's as easy as picking something out of a pocket."

"Next, after entering the small world of this family, I can start planning."

"I don't know how little Ah Qing is doing now. I think he is not as happy and exciting as I am. He should wait for me in Tianniu Mountain..."

This corpse is none other than the captain.

"Little Aqing, it's not that big brother is late here, there's no other way, for our big event, you just wait for me a little longer, who told you not to follow me."

The captain was proud in his heart, the coffin shook, he quickly closed his eyes, and continued to pretend to be dead.

At the same time, under the glacier far away from the lake, the woman in red was getting faster and faster. When she got to the back, she simply waved her hand and rolled Xu Qing forward.

The speed was astonishing, and after seven or eight hours, Xu Qing was brought to the deepest part of the glacier.

The icy aura here is extremely strong, and it even exudes bursts of the restraining power of the red moon.

Feeling the fluctuation of the restriction, Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, knowing that he had arrived at his destination.

This was indeed the case, and soon the woman in red stopped and stood on top of the ice, looking down with a sad expression on her face.

This sadness is very strong, affecting the surroundings, making it seem that there is a faint sound of crying echoing in this place.

Xu Qing looked solemn, and remembered the purpose that the other party said in the east, so he followed the eyes of the woman in red to look at the ice under his feet.

This place is dim, especially in the glacier, so Xu Qing's gaze is completely dark, but he has a faint feeling that there seems to be a huge monster below.

"do you want to see."

After a long while, the woman in red spoke softly, obviously asking a question, but he didn't let Xu Qing give an answer. At this moment, while speaking, he raised his right hand and waved lightly.

Immediately, countless fireflies appeared in the surrounding glaciers.

The individual fluorescence is weak, but when the number is large, the surrounding area is illuminated brightly.

With the help of the spread of light, Xu Qing saw the scene under the glacier, and his mind was aroused.

Under the glacier, lay a dead body.

The corpse was ten thousand feet in size, was frozen in the ice layer, and was wearing a brown battle armor.

Even though he had been dead for a long time, the evil spirit on his body still made Xu Qing rush into his mind the moment Xu Qing saw it, turning into an angry roar.

Xu Qing's body trembled, he stepped back a few steps, suppressed the fluctuations in his mind, and stared carefully.

The corpse was a young man with a resolute and handsome face, especially his eyebrows like swords, full of heroism.

It's just a huge black nail between the eyebrows, piercing through his head, and the blood coagulated on his cheeks, making his expression full of ferociousness.

And his body is even more shocking, most of it has withered, and many places that have not withered can be seen, bleeding.

These blood energy, which contains the meaning of death, spread under the glacier and gathered in the distance, no one knew where it was going.

This scene caused countless speculations in Xu Qing's heart, and he looked at the woman in red with a sad expression.

"This is my third brother. He liked to follow me when he was a child. As the son of the eldest son, I have to help my father deal with the government affairs. I am busy with affairs. Wherever I go, he will follow me. Sometimes I get bored with him Throw it aside, he will cry and call brother..."

"He has an impulsive personality, and he doesn't get along with my ninth brother. The two often fight..."

"And every time, I always lean towards Lao Jiu."

The woman in red spoke softly.

Xu Qing was silent, and he felt the sadness around him grew stronger.

"The nail between his eyebrows is my father's weapon. It was held by my fourth brother and nailed to his forehead."

"Do you know, my fourth brother was going to attack me, but it was my third brother who helped me die."

When the woman in red said this, a smile appeared on her face, and her voice echoed.

"Boy, I haven't introduced the identity of my fourth brother to you yet. He relied on this incident as a nomination certificate when Chimu came. Now he is very prosperous and has become the son of God in the Moon Festival."

Xu Qing's heart was shocked when he heard these words. He knew that the Son of God existed in the Red Moon Temple in the Great Region of Jiyue, and guessed that the other party must be good, but he never thought that the origin of the Son of God was like this.

The fourth son of the former master, now the son of the Red Moon God!

"For countless years, he has been feeding us." The woman in red laughed.

"He was worried that our brothers and sisters would die too quickly, so he took the people and let us eat. In the past, he would occasionally cut off our meat and exchange it with each other to eat."

"After that, he rarely showed up in person."

"So you see, how good he is to us brothers and sisters."

The woman in red gritted her teeth, with a strong murderous intent in her eyes.

"Do you know where my third brother's blood has gone?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

Xu Qing was silent, he didn't know what to say, he could only sigh.

Along the way with the other party, he heard a lot of things, and his understanding of the Moon Festival Dayu became clear all of a sudden.

But the more he understood, the more he felt the oppression of all beings in this large domain.

"Little baby, help me open a gap in the red moon restriction here, just a little bit." The woman in red looked at Xu Qing, and the expression on her face turned calm.

Xu Qing nodded, sat down cross-legged and circulated the Ziyue Yuanying in his body, and the surrounding red moon fluctuated violently in an instant, and the power of restraint burst out suddenly, revealing strands of red silk threads around him.

These silk threads spread in all directions, forming a huge net, covering everything, and soon one of the many silk threads changed color, showing purple.

At the moment when it completely turned into purple, the red moon here stopped abruptly and slowly turned.

Xu Qing was short of breath. For him, it was not difficult to simply use the restriction here to make it used by him, but it would be quite difficult to open a gap.

So what he can do at this moment is to absorb the power of the red moon here, making this restriction weak, and then use his own purple moon authority to barely open it.

This is his current limit.

Time passed slowly, and soon three days passed.

During these three days, Xu Qing kept absorbing and merging, until at dusk of the third day, he reached the limit of what he could endure, opened his eyes suddenly, raised his right hand, and pressed towards the ice layer below.

The surrounding red moon prohibition suddenly rolled over, forming a vortex.

Almost at the moment when the vortex appeared, the body of the woman in red immediately blurred, and disappeared in a flash, turning into a cloud of blue mist, and a ray of remnant soul could be vaguely seen in the mist.

The appearance of this soul is a young man, similar to the man under the glacier, but more majestic. At this moment, he flew out of the vortex and merged into it in the blink of an eye, trying to rush in.

The Red Moon Restriction erupted violently, forming a barrier. Xu Qing tried his best to control it, but the feeling of a small horse-drawn cart made his soul tear apart, and Ziyue Yuanying was also trembling, with a painful expression on his face.

This is just the remnant soul blending in, from the outside to the inside. It can be imagined that if it is not for the remnant soul, if it is from the inside to the outside, then even if Xu Qing puts all his efforts, he still cannot let the other party in and out successfully.

Even at this moment, Xu Qing couldn't do much.

But for the existence in the coffin, he was able to choose this place immediately after escaping, so he was naturally sure.

At this moment, his soul shadow was shining with blue light, and he chose to burn, in exchange for the ultimate power, with the help of the vortex formed by Xu Qing, he rushed in suddenly.

Amid the roar, Xu Qing spat out seven or eight mouthfuls of blood, Ziyue Yuanying also withered, and the remnant soul of the young man finally broke through the barrier, forming a gap, and blending in.

After entering the restriction, the remnant soul dissipated visibly with the naked eye, and it seemed that he could not last long. Without the slightest hesitation, he went straight to the nail between the eyebrows of his third brother.

Before it dissipates completely, blend into it and disappear.

Xu Qing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stepped back a little, sat down cross-legged and adjusted his breath, he tried his best, whether the other party's plan can be finally completed is not up to him.

And he didn't have the energy to take the opponent out.

At the same time, under the lake far away from here, hundreds of coffins finally reached the bottom after being dragged by colorful tentacles for several days.

A vortex exists there, and emotional fluctuations of greed and desire emanate from it.

These coffins were pulled by it and went straight to the whirlpool.

into a strange world.

The captain lying in one of the coffins opened his eyes again, showing expectation.

"It's finally here, haha, little house sparrows, grandpa is here!"
