out of time

Chapter 85
The story tells all the disciples of the Seven Blood Eyes that once they encounter this strange scene when they go out to sea, they should not take any action, do not touch it, let alone disturb it.

Xu Qing was silent.

As the records of the Haizhi Museum came to mind, he sat cross-legged in the dharma boat and looked up at the countless ferocious ghosts flying into the air in groups amidst bursts of sharp and ear-piercing roars.

"The focus of the record in Haizhi is not the story itself."

Xu Qing looked at the sky, murmured in his heart in the coldness of the surrounding world.

"It's rather... Its description of all this uses the word story, not legend."

"Compared to legends, the title of story often represents a scene that actually happened." Xu Qing took a deep breath and stared around.

Countless fierce ghosts filled the sky and the earth, their voices became more and more shrill as they kept rising and falling. This scene was enough to frighten the timid and make them tremble in horror.

But for Xu Qing, he was used to it.

He has seen the eyes of gods, lived in a dead city full of ferocious beasts and weirdness for more than half a month, and has seen too much life and death in the slums surrounded by human nature since he was a child.

In the forbidden jungle and the seven blood pupils, they have experienced tempering and baptism. For him, it is not only these weird things that kill people. Everything in this world can make people die.

Therefore, this level of sight may cause fear to others, but to Xu Qing, he is very calm.

In this calm gazing, Xu Qing in the dark night, he faintly heard the lingering sound of the music amidst the howling of these ghosts ascending into the sky.

Xu Qing closed her eyes and remained motionless, as if listening.

Seen from a distance, both he and the Dharma boat are insignificant in the sea, gradually being covered up during the night walk of the ghosts.

Only the lingering sound in Xu Qing's ear became clearer and clearer and lasted for a long time...

Hundred Ghosts Walking in the Night, Hundred Ghosts Night Dance, Hundred Ghosts Nocturne.

This night, in Zhao Zhongheng's nervousness, in Xu Qing's listening, and in Senior Sister Ding's curiosity about Xu Qing, slowly passed.

With the arrival of morning, the nocturne dissipated, Xu Qing opened his eyes, and there was still a faint lingering sound in his mind.

Senior Sister Ding put her beautiful eyes on Xu Qing, and couldn't help asking.

"Brother Xu, are you listening all night? Did you hear anything?"

Xu Qing ignored it, feeling a little displeased to be disturbed at the moment, he didn't blink his eyes, still immersed in the faint lingering sound in his mind.

This made Senior Sister Ding even more curious, so she looked at Xu Qing, tapped the storage bag with her right hand, immediately took out a jade box, and handed it over.

"Junior Brother Xu, there is a clearing pill inside, which is very effective in nourishing the soul. I will give it to you, and you can tell me the answer."

Zhao Zhongheng on the Phoenix Bird's eyes widened in an instant, his breathing was rapid, and the flames in his eyes could hardly be suppressed. This elixir was a gift he gave to Senior Sister Ding because of his impatience...

Now, Xu Qing is not happy, and Senior Sister Ding also gave a gift...

This scene drove him completely crazy.

"Clarifying Pill?"

Xu Qing's attention was instinctively drawn to it. He knew the Clarity Pill, and he also knew that the value of this pill was not small, and the quantity was rare.

So a little surprised, he turned around and took the jade box and opened it. After a glance, he checked to make sure that there was no problem, and he put it in his pocket.

Seeing that Xu Qing accepted it, Senior Sister Ding was very happy and looked at Xu Qing with a smile.

"Brother Xu, tell me, I know that Hai Zhi once mentioned that not many people can hear the Nocturne of Hundred Ghosts, only those with keen perception can hear it."

Xu Qing nodded, with a flash of reminiscence in his eyes.

"I heard the voice of the teacher's persuasive teaching when he taught me the knowledge of plants and trees."

"Brother Xu, you actually know the way of grass and trees, so amazing." Senior Sister Ding was full of admiration. As for Zhao Zhongheng on the Fengniao, his face showed disdain, curled his lips, and said in a low voice.

"Who can't brag!"

Senior Sister Ding didn't pay attention to the delicious Zhao Zhongheng, she was attentively beside Xu Qing, asking about the way of vegetation.

For the sake of Chengming Pill, although Xu Qing felt a little impatient, he reluctantly answered a few words.

On the road ahead, Zhao Zhongheng was obviously more anxious. In order to bring the senior sister back to him, he began to please him in various ways and gave gifts frequently.

It's just that Senior Sister Ding mostly refused with a cold face, and occasionally she reluctantly accepted it when she had no other choice, but she didn't make any move to change boats at all, but on Xu Qing's boat, there were often laughter like silver bells, which made Zhao Zhongheng The evil fire burned the internal organs.

Especially on the road in the next few days, Senior Sister Ding laughed more than he had been facing him for a year. Many times, he saw that Senior Sister Ding took the initiative to find topics with Xu Qing, asking about plants, trees and herbs. , but Zhao Zhongheng clearly knew that this Ding Xue had no interest in medicinal materials on weekdays.

And if Xu Qing didn't speak up, she would send gifts as the consultation fee, and those gifts were all from him.

This scene made Zhao Zhongheng a little dazed a lot of times, vaguely, as if he felt that all this was very familiar, and that he and Senior Sister Ding seemed... somewhat similar.

This discovery made Zhao Zhongheng feel sad, but he was unwilling to give up on him, so he could only force himself, trying hard to blend in, trying to keep in sync.

Even in order to attract Senior Sister Ding's attention, Zhao Zhongheng simply exploded his cultivation along the way, constantly catching various sea beasts, and inviting them to taste them, and this method did have some effect, which made Zhao Zhongheng's heart alive again.

At noon on the third day, Xu Qing's Fazhou and Fengniao were moving forward on the sea, when suddenly a sharp neighing sound came from the sky.

Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged on the Dharma boat, opened his eyes and saw a false-toothed bird flying in the sky. Its huge and slender wings were more than two feet long, and its blue body was covered with some mud spots. What attracts attention is its amazing beak, which looks like two huge iron pincers. It can be imagined that its bite force must be terrifying.

And at this moment, the sea is calm and peaceful, like a huge black mirror. From a distance, seabirds appear frequently in the sky.

Pseudontodon is just one of them, and many tiny black spots can be seen in the distance, which are different kinds of seabirds, looking for prey at noon.

At this moment, the false-toothed bird hovering high in the sky seemed to have identified its prey on Xu Qing and the others, so it followed all the way, but it seemed that it also sensed the crisis, so it circled a few times before leaving.

Xu Qing looked up at the false-tooth bird in the sky, and then looked down at the calm sea. There was a flash of light in his eyes, but he ignored it.

But Zhao Zhongheng on the Fengniao, with joy in his eyes, shouted to Senior Sister Ding who had noticed the scene in the sky with a smile.

"Senior Sister Ding, this kind of pseudo-toothed bird has been mentioned in Haizhi, and it seems to taste good. I'll help you get it down, and we'll eat it at noon."

"Junior Brother Xu, do you want to eat the false-toothed bird at noon?" Senior Sister Ding stood up, looked at the false-toothed bird in the sky, and smiled sweetly at Xu Qing.

For Senior Sister Ding, Xu Qing still has some affection. The other party's eagerness to learn reminds him of his past self. Although there are many consultations on vegetation knowledge, they are all paid, and the value of the items given is almost two hundred spirit stones.

At the same time, during the past few days of getting along, Xu Qing also has a deeper sense of the two core disciples of the Seventh Peak in front of him, but he will not rashly deny all the core disciples just because of the performance of these two.

Core disciples are also human beings, and as long as they are human beings, they cannot have the same character. Some are smart, some are stupid, some are alert, and some are reckless.

Therefore, among the core disciples, some are simple, and there must be some who are as evil as the gray robes who walked out of the brutal environment at the bottom of the mountain. Xu Qing thinks that it is because he has very little contact with the core, so he didn't see it.

And Zhao Zhongheng is actually not bad, he is just stupid, as the captain said, he is an idiot.

Senior Sister Ding is not stupid, she is just protected too well, which is a bit inconsistent with this troubled world, but it is just like this, which proves that her background is great.

This point can also be confirmed from Zhao Zhongheng's attitude and Xu Qing.

Especially thinking about the fact that the other party's hand was always on the storage bag during the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts, Xu Qing can conclude that the other party must have amazing life-saving means, so her elders are relieved to let her go to sea.

So Xu Qing made a reminder.

"The sea is too calm, something is wrong."

"Cowards!" Zhao Zhongheng on the Fengniao sneered when he heard this, raised his hands with a wave, and was about to use magic to capture the false-toothed bird.

But at this moment, the false-tooth bird in the sky that was about to leave seemed to have sensed Zhao Zhongheng's intentions, so it became aggressive. After a roundabout in mid-air, it changed its direction and stopped leaving, but its body suddenly accelerated , like a meteor falling from the sky, roaring obliquely from the rear of the Fazhou of the three.

Seen from a distance, his figure cut through the airflow formed in the sky, setting off bursts of sonic booms, showing an astonishing speed.

"Good job." Zhao Zhongheng laughed loudly, jumped up and left the boat in mid-air, about to make a move.

Xu Qing's complexion changed, he became alert, stood up and looked at the sea behind the Fazhou, he saw that there was a range of several tens of feet, and at this moment, as the roar of the false-toothed bird approached, he actually rolled violently.

It seems that there is something on the bottom of the sea, and it is rapidly approaching the surface of the sea!
A cold light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes, and he quickly made a tactic, and his dharma boat turned into a protective posture in an instant.

And at the moment when this posture was formed, through his dragon whale, he suddenly saw a huge monster approaching at an astonishing speed behind the Dharma boat, coming from the bottom of the sea in the blink of an eye, and breaking through the water in an instant.

boom!
Amidst the loud noise, the sea surface behind Fazhou directly exploded within a range of a hundred feet.

A huge head that was pitch black and covered with scales, like a dragon or a crocodile, broke through the sea with unprecedented ferocity and ferocity.

The fishy smell pervaded all directions in an instant, and the waves rolled violently. The head opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the coming pseudo-toothed bird in one gulp!
The pseudotooth bird seems to be very big, but compared with this big mouth, it is like a small snack. It was swallowed completely by the big mouth like a crocodile in an instant. With the roar, the head fell into the sea again .

The waves rolled up and rolled in all directions, making Xu Qing's boat and Zhao Zhongheng's Fengniao, like two leaves on the sea, involuntarily rolled back, but the former was in order, and the latter was on the verge of losing control.

Zhao Zhongheng's complexion changed drastically in an instant, and there was horror in his expression.

At this moment, he has already flown into the air, but fortunately, his speed is not very fast, otherwise, once he got close to the Pseudotooth bird just now, it might not only be the bird that was devoured at this moment.

The intense heart palpitations brought about by the front line of life and death made him, who was soaked by the sea water thrown up all over his body, turn pale and quickly retreat, retreating to the Fengniao with all his strength, until his feet landed on the deck, his body still couldn't help shaking.

As if he was afraid that if he retreated too slowly, that terrifying mouth would appear again on the sea below.

But his basic quality as a disciple of the Seventh Peak still allows him to instinctively control the Dharma boat, gradually bringing his boat back under control.

"That's... a plesiosaur, Senior Sister Ding, come to me quickly, we have to leave this area immediately!"

Amid the tumbling waves, Zhao Zhongheng, who was standing on the swaying Phoenix Bird, uttered words anxiously while manipulating the Fazhou.

"Shut up, if you didn't stimulate the Pseudontodon bird with your stupid shot, it would fly away, how could it attack! It is recorded in the sea records that the Pseudontodon bird is the favorite meat of the plesiosaur. Obviously the plesiosaur The dragon was attracted by the false-toothed bird in the sky, if you don't act recklessly, this plesiosaur will definitely go away with it."

Senior Sister Ding's complexion is ugly. To the disciples of the Seventh Peak, among the hunters in the Forbidden Sea, although the plesiosaurs are not the strongest ones, they can live in the Forbidden Sea filled with infinite heterogeneity, and they are also known for their ferocity. , and each head is difficult to judge by the strength of the cultivation base.

After all, its huge body has an advantage. Unless there is a significant difference in combat power between them, the probability of victory belongs to it.

Zhao Zhongheng wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't say anything when he opened his mouth, so he could only reply bitterly.

"Maybe it will go away in a while..."

Senior Sister Ding's quality is obviously much better than that of Zhao Zhongheng. Even though her mood is turbulent at the moment, she still has her whole body in full swing, and she even took out a blue long sword, ready to strike at any time.

At the same time, his right hand was placed on the storage bag, as if he could take out his trump card at any time, and looked at the sea vigilantly.

Compared to the two of them, Xu Qing was much calmer. He had sensed that something was wrong with the sea before, so he put Fa Zhou in a defensive posture in advance.

At this moment, the big waves were rolling, and the roaring waves rolled in like a giant's hand, slapping Xu Qing's Dharma boat fiercely, causing his Dharma boat to go further away in the waves.

But overall, Fazhou is very stable in terms of stability, so it did not lose control, but retreated in an orderly manner with the help of waves.

At the same time, his composure also eased Senior Sister Ding's mood, and her eyes gradually became sharper.

"It didn't go away!" Xu Qing said in a low voice with bright eyes.
