Outside of Time

Xu Qing was silent, he knew the source of Kong Xianglong's loneliness and desolation.

Previously in the Immortal Forbidden Land, Xu Qing had a similar feeling after hearing his master's analysis. Whether it was the palace master, the county guard, or the entire Fenghai County, they were all chess pieces.

The palace owner obviously knew all this before he died in the battle.

But he held the sword for the human race with all his heart and passed through the vicissitudes of time. Therefore, the palace master had no regrets when he died fighting for the human race.

He only worried about his home, his relatives, and his sons, so after guessing some things, he used his own death to try his best to save Fenghai County without affecting the overall situation. .

As long as the mountains and rivers are sealed, I don't care about this.

Xu Qing recalled this sentence many times, and it contained the determination in the palace master's heart before he died in battle.

This is indeed the case. After the death of the Palace Master, the Seventh Prince's army arrived and successfully resolved everything, becoming a hero of the human race.

Kong Xianglong also understood this and became complicated and silent.

But in the end, his choice was similar to that of his grandfather.

He chose to bless the human race with a great victory in this war.

In this case, his grandfather's death would be more worthwhile.

Xu Qing sighed, and silently left here with the captain and went to Jiange.

The captain didn't say anything along the way, until they returned to Jiange, where they sat cross-legged, and the captain patted Xu Qing's shoulder.

"Little Aqing, you..."

Xu Qing raised his head, with a faint light in his eyes, and suddenly spoke.

"wrong!"

The captain's eyes narrowed.

"Master's judgment is correct, but the things here should be more than that... I have seen that white jade hand before!" Xu Qing recalled it carefully and became more and more certain about it.

The captain said nothing.

In the Immortal Forbidden Land, he saw the appearance of the two white jade hands, one large and one small. The small white jade hands were obtained by the master's study of the divine body. As for who the big white jade hands belonged to, it was self-evident.

But he never said anything because he was worried about irritating Xu Qing.

Xu Qing lowered his head and did not continue to speak. There was no expression on his face.

The captain sighed. He knew some things and was told by his master, so he could guess what was going on in Xu Qing's heart at this moment, so he stayed there silently.

As the sky outside gradually grew brighter, seeing that Xu Qing was still silent, the captain coughed and spoke in a low voice.

"Junior brother, why don't you think Master is here yet?"

Xu Qing shook his head.

"Junior brother, based on my understanding of the old man, I suspect that the old man should be around us."

As soon as the captain said these words, Xu Qing raised his head, with some fluctuations in his eyes.

"Believe me, little Ah Qing, the master likes to peek. When you were not at the master's door, I experienced it very deeply. I guess the master may have been waiting for us in this sword pavilion, or he may be able to sense us by some means. "

The captain was just looking for a topic at first, but now as he spoke, his eyes widened, and he vaguely felt that what he said made sense, so he took a breath, stood up suddenly, and looked around.

"Master, Master, please come out, I see you!" The captain bowed excitedly towards a corner.

Xu Qing was suspicious. His previous turbulent mood was suppressed by the captain's words and deeds, and he looked at that corner.

But no matter how the captain worships, everything is as usual there.

The captain blinked, turned to another direction, and continued to bow.

"Haha, Master, I didn't actually see you, old man. I just felt that there was an extra breath here. You also know that I am very sensitive to this."

The direction taken by the captain was still the same as before.

Xu Qing looked strange, and the captain looked surprised. After thinking for a while, he suddenly looked at Xu Qing.

"Junior brother, is the mask Master gave you still there?"

Xu Qing took a breath, made a guess, and immediately took out the translucent mask that concealed the magic from the storage bag, put it aside respectfully, stood up and bowed.

The captain also looked solemn, cupped his fists and bowed.

Then they waited for a long time and saw no change in the mask, so they looked at each other.

"Elder brother, are you thinking too much..."

"Believe me, I know Master very well."

The captain looked extremely determined, but as time passed, the sky outside changed from early morning to noon, and then to dusk, but the mask still did not change at all. The master did not come here, and they did not receive any transmission.

Xu Qing hesitated and looked at the captain.

The captain looked at the mask and gritted his teeth.

"Junior brother, I have no choice but to use my trump card!"

After saying that, under Xu Qing's attention, the captain coughed dryly and spoke loudly.

"Junior brother, let me tell you a secret. Do you know why I am so keen on helping female cultivators solve the problem of too many gifts? That is because many years ago, there was an old man that you and I both knew. Do you know who it is? I won’t go into details, but anyway, this old man went to give a gift to a female cultivator, and in the middle of the night after delivering it, he actually took me to pick up the gift..."

"Shut up!" Before the captain could finish his words, a low growl that seemed to contain anger came from the translucent mask.

Xu Qing took a breath, and the captain quickly gave Xu Qing a proud look, then knelt down in front of the mask with a sad face.

"Master, I scared this disciple to death. I am worried about your safety. I really have no choice but to take this step. Now that I know you are fine, I feel relieved."

"Shut up, I'm running for my life!!" Master Qi roared from inside the mask.

Xu Qing's expression suddenly became solemn, and the captain's expression also changed, and he immediately stopped talking. Both of them could not help but feel worried, and they waited silently without saying a word.

The process was very torturous, and Xu Qing was extremely worried. The face of the captain beside him was filled with solemnity, and there was a hint of ferocity.

Until the night passed, and when the next morning came, the mask moved slightly and floated up from the ground. Amid the tension between Xu Qing and the captain, Qi Ye's hoarse voice came from inside.

"I finally escaped. Didn't I just get a thorn? As for searching like this?"

After hearing Qi Ye's words, Xu Qing and the captain were completely relieved.

"The two of you will find time to go back to the Seven Blood Pupils in the near future. You will gain a lot from this time as a teacher. If you refine that thorn, you can get a big treasure for each of you. This is a divine thorn. It is truly a treasure. It’s a divine thing, and it’s also a special entity!”

"Well... don't come back too soon, otherwise you will show your flaws and be noticed. Let's do this. You come back in a month. By then, refining for the master will be almost finished."

"Besides, it's hard for me to be distracted during this period, so don't get into trouble. And this mask, boss, swallow it and use your belly to hide the breath!"

"Let's do this for now. I'm going to find a place to retreat and wait until I get back to Seven Blood Pupils."

After Master Qi finished speaking, the mask fell to the ground again, motionless.

"Elder brother, where is Master..." Xu Qing muttered and looked at the captain.

The captain smiled, stepped forward, picked up the mask and put it directly into his mouth. With the movement of his throat, he swallowed it alive. After burping, he winked at Xu Qing.

"The old man can still explain these things, and he's still alive and kicking, which means he's fine."

"Don't worry. Master is not as good as me when it comes to big things, but when it comes to running away... I have never seen anyone who is worse than him. Think about it, who studies the divine body that contains the power of time, and can actually understand the secret..." ?”

The captain also sighed in his heart, he did not lie to Xu Qing, he really believed that the master was fine.

After finishing speaking at this moment, he looked at the sky outside. Just when he was about to speak, the sound transmission jade slip came out with vibration.

Xu Qing looked immediately. After the captain took it out, his eyes lit up. He instinctively licked his lips and smiled at Xu Qing.

"Little Ah Qing, I'm leaving first, Da Taotao is looking for me."

With that said, the captain couldn't wait to leave and went straight to the county capital's Fengxing Palace. On the way, he took out a peach, put it in his mouth and bit it, then raised his hand and looked at the eyes growing in the palm of his hand.

Using it as a mirror, after looking at his own appearance and confirming that he was still as good as before, the captain's eyes lit up and he moved faster.

Looking at the captain's back, Xu Qing had a blessing in his eyes, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the empty sword pavilion. The inner turmoil caused by the candlelight incident has now turned into calm.

"One month later, when I return to Qixuetong, I have to talk to Immortal Zixuan."

The sigh that echoed in Xu Qing's mind after the Time Vase merged into his mind. After a while, he closed his eyes and was about to meditate to stabilize his cultivation. But soon he opened his eyes and took out the Su Dan Dan bottle given by Kong Xianglong from his storage bag. .

Outside the deep pit, when the captain swallowed Sudan, the aroma of the medicine was mixed with some other smells. Xu Qing felt a little familiar at the time, as if he had smelled it somewhere before.

But when I later told Kong Xianglong the truth, I didn’t feel it in detail.

After he calmed down at this moment, he remembered the matter. Although he didn't feel anything bad, out of his cautious character, he still opened the elixir bottle, put it in front of him and smelled it, trying to determine what kind of herb it was.

"There are many kinds of herbal smells..." Xu Qing mused, looking for that similar smell, so he took a few more breaths to distinguish them carefully.

It didn't take long for Xu Qing to finally locate the familiar smell among the many smells.

This smell is extremely light. Xu Qing could not detect it before he obtained the body of a god. Only with his current body can he smell it vaguely.

"Is this... the smell of osmanthus?"

Xu Qing murmured, but in the next moment, his pupils shrank and he suddenly lowered his head, staring at the Su Dan in his hand with an expression of disbelief, and his breathing became faster than ever.

"The smell of osmanthus!"

In Xu Qing's mind, there was a faint thunder reverberating from the sky. In order to make sure that he heard it correctly, he simply crushed a piece of sudan, put the powder in front of his nose, and distinguished it carefully.

The smell of osmanthus becomes clearer and clearer.

After a while, Xu Qing stayed there, the medicine ash on his fingers falling down.

"This is the smell of existence in that empty wish box..."

Xu Qing's mind was in a state of turmoil. He found a familiar source. When he and Kong Xianglong went on a mission, he had held the empty wish box in his hand.

At that time, the smell coming out of the box was that of sweet-scented osmanthus, which was exactly the same as the smell inside the sudan! !

And Sudan, over the years, has become a must-have for both monks and laymen throughout the county, and is a must-have for almost everyone!

Hundreds of millions of people have eaten it!
