Outside of Time

Xu Qing was silent.

After a long time, he raised his head, and the waves in his heart turned into wind waves in his mind, one after another, constantly rolling.

"Jun Cheng..." Xu Qing murmured.

He didn't have much contact with Jun Cheng, but in fact, in Xu Qing's heart, he respected Jun Cheng very much.

This comes from the opponent's alchemy and the aura of a scholar similar to Master Bai and the Great Elder of the Sword-holding Court.

Xu Qing still clearly remembers the gentle voice of the other party in the Sword Palace when he first came to the county capital, and the great merits of Su Dan mentioned by Deacon Sun.

After the war started, Xu Qing saw the opponent's tired look many times.

He also recalled the scene when he faced the Immortal Clan and the other party came to dig a hole with them in tacit agreement.

Although the Commander-in-Chief integrated into the Seventh Prince very smoothly after his arrival, this does not mean anything.

Many subsequent things that were beneficial to Fenghai County were initiated by the county magistrate. Together with the deputy palace masters of the three major palaces, they invited the seventh prince many times to win over them.

In this way, when Xu Qing just returned, it was the county magistrate who suppressed the joint crusade among the ethnic groups that he had ordered.

For example, the rules and protections for exchange after the war in the Sword-bearing Palace were also discussed by the Jun Cheng many times with the Seventh Prince to fight for the Sword-bearer.

Jun Cheng is involved in many things.

And that he can be trusted by the palace lord and stay in the county capital, it can be seen that although the palace lord has some doubts, his instinct is still to trust him.

Especially during the war, the county magistrate did not delay at all and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the frontline war, earning the trust of countless mortals and becoming his backbone.

The commander-in-chief has contributed to the fact that the front line has been able to sustain it for so long.

Such a person with great merit.

Such a person who protected the rear during the war.

Such a person who continued to gain advantages for Fenghai County many times after the war came to an end and the Seventh Prince took over.

At this moment, Xu Qing felt that it was a bit untrue to say that he was the culprit of everything.

Before this, he had not seen any signs that there was a problem with Jun Cheng, nor had he obtained any evidence.

Xu Qing remained silent, suppressing all the turmoil in his heart.

This matter was too big, so he could not make a hasty decision, but regarded it as a clue and added it to his analysis.

Then he recalled the contents of the palace master's jade slips, and also recalled the results of his investigation in Chaoxia Mountain.

"According to the records of the nineteen volumes of secret words, the empty wish box once contained the Shangguang Life Tribulation Pill. The palace owner knew this, so he determined that this pill was responsible for the death of the governor after his death."

"Because there are too few ways to make a strong county guard die silently, unless it is at the Yunshen level. But if that is the case, there is no need for this war."

"So all the signs point to the Shangguang Life Tribulation Pill."

Xu Qing murmured, turning all the clues he had obtained into ideas in his mind and smoothing them out one by one.

"But if you want to use the Shangguang Life Tribulation Pill, you first need a morning glow. This is why the palace master asked me to investigate. Secondly, it is the method of poisoning."

Xu Qing had discussed this with Kong Xianglong at the beginning. He really couldn't think of any way to prevent the county guard who had been blessed by luck to reach the half-step Yun Shen realm from detecting it and was poisoned.

"Zhao Xiaguang, I found a clue that proves that there is indeed one that has not been recorded. This evidence makes it possible for the Shangguang Life Tribulation Pill to be used."

"And the way of poisoning..."

Xu Qing lowered his head to look at the Sudan powder that fell on the ground, took out the last Sudan pill from the pill bottle, held it in his hand, and observed it carefully.

Xu Qing had studied Sudan before. At that time, he concluded that this elixir indeed surpassed Baidan in its effect of dispersing foreign substances.

The refining method is very strange, and even Xu Qing's understanding of alchemy cannot be analyzed.

Many of the herbs in it do not seem to match, but are formed after their own medicinal properties have been altered.

This is Jun Cheng's unique medicinal method. By changing the external environment of the herbal medicine, it is unknowingly changed and affected, and turns into the effect he needs.

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed as he thought of this crucial point.

At this moment, a big hand seemed to appear in his mind, quickly pushing away all the fog, so that when he first saw Jun Cheng, the content of the lessons he taught for their group of new swordsmen could be understood under the fog. , emerged clearly.

"If you want to change the state of a medicinal herb, you don't need to make drastic changes, nor do you need to remove the yin and yang to reconcile the external transformation after picking. In my opinion, what is needed is to moisturize things quietly."

"Unknowingly, you change the environment it lives in, change the nutrients it needs, and let it slowly absorb it without knowing it, affecting it from the inside."

"To be precise, it was not me who changed its state, but its own power that changed its own state. All I did was create an environment and nutrients that guided its direction."

These were the original words of the county magistrate at that time.

In the past, Xu Qing, no matter how he heard this sentence, he felt admiration in his heart. He had great respect for the county magistrate who could think of such a method.

Because the other party did successfully improve the Baidan, and in this way created a Sudan that benefited the people of the county.

But looking at these words now, a shocking thunder rumbled through Xu Qing's mind.

"Actually, if the word "herb" that the county magistrate mentioned in class was replaced by the county magistrate, everything... would be logical."

"If you want to poison the county governor, you don't need to be aggressive, what you need is to moisten things quietly."

"Unknowingly, the county guard changed the environment he was in...the environment was the human race in the county capital."

"Without the governor being aware, changing the nutrients he needs...the nutrients, combined with the principles of the Shangguang Life Tribulation, wouldn't that be luck?"

"Let the county guard slowly absorb it without knowing it and influence it from the inside."

"It was not the county magistrate who changed the county governor's state, but the county governor's own power that changed his own state. What the county magistrate did was just create an environment and nutrients that guided his direction."

Xu Qing's body trembled slightly, and his mind was getting bigger and bigger.

"So, the county magistrate did not directly poison the county guard. He regarded the county guard as a medicinal herb. The objects he poisoned... were all the human races within the boundaries of the county capital, which is the environment where the medicinal herb is located!"

"Using the harmless and cheap sutan as a carrier, and incorporating the power of Shangguang's life calamity into it, hundreds of millions of human beings have been eating it continuously for many years, thereby changing their luck and changing the county governor's of nutrients.”

"This is using the luck of the human race within the county capital to change and influence the county guard, thus achieving the purpose of poisoning."

"Such a method..."

Xu Qing's breathing was rapid. This idea was logical. Everything was completely clear at this moment.

The empty wish box once contained a glazed Life Tribulation Pill. Because it had been stored in the wish box for too long, even after the Life Tribulation Pill had been taken out for many years, the scent like osmanthus still remained and had not completely evaporated. Lose.

The original mission was for An Zi of the Shenglan tribe to discover a huge secret, so he escaped.

Looking at it now, the real Anzi must have died. Only Xu Qing and the others got the wish box from the young man who was Anzi's descendant.

As a result, there were nineteen volumes of secret words, which provided a basis for subsequent palace owners to determine the manner of the county governor's death.

OK, everything is OK.

Then, Xu Qing thought of Ding Yisaner's little boy, who was transformed by a ray of luck from Fenghai County. It was after the wish box was retrieved that he became depressed.

At that time, Xu Qing felt that the other party was weak and had some unclean things in his body.

However, the little boy recovered quickly, so Xu Qing didn't think much about it. With the information he had at the time, it was difficult to think too much.

Then the county governor fell, the prison department collapsed, and the little boy disappeared.

Xu Qing thought that it was due to the collapse of the Prison Department, which caused the impact and caused it to dissipate, but looking at it now, it is not the case!

The palace owner may have been investigating the matter after completing the nineteen volumes of secret words, but unfortunately, he was not omniscient and omnipotent after all, and it was too late. The governor died and the war came.

In the end, everyone can only be doubted.

Xu Qing's scalp was numb.

Especially when he thought that countless human beings thought that Su Dan was a great meritorious deed of the Jun Cheng, and yet the Jun Cheng acted openly and openly and told the world all the answers.

But... no one can see the truth from it.

Sudan, this is a big lie!

Jun Cheng has been laughing at everyone in Fenghai County!

Millions of thunders in Xu Qing's heart kept exploding, and his mind recalled the way Jun Cheng looked at everyone when he was in class.

What I saw at that time was gentleness, but looking back now, I can see that there was clearly ridicule and even teasing hidden in that gentleness, as if it was just a guessing game for him.

I told you the answer, told everyone the answer, but you...why haven't you discovered it yet?

This matter was so big that after Xu Qing realized all this, at the moment when the truth was revealed, he felt not only clarity, but also heart palpitations.

"Why did Jun Cheng do this? He and Zhu Zhao..."

Xu Qing murmured, but paused mid-sentence.

"Actually, Chu Tianqun already told me the answer before he died."

Xu Qing always remembers what Chu Tianqun told Chu Tianqun when he was asking about the whereabouts of Zi Qing and Ye Jiu when he was dying.

"When you know how to change the color of the sea, you understand everything."

Xu Qing silently raised his head and looked at the county capital in the dark night outside.

"The color of the sea can be easily changed according to Jun Cheng's method. You only need to change the color of thousands of rivers that flow into the sea. Then slowly, the color of the sea will be changed unconsciously."

"This is the answer."

Xu Qing whispered softly.

"Jun Cheng, it could be Zi Qing or Ye Jiu."

"It was him who poisoned the county guard."

"The mysterious man in black who appeared on the battlefield that day was not Marquis Yao, he was the county magistrate."

Xu Qing understood the truth.

But he no longer knew who he should report this matter to.

The person who asked him to investigate all this has died.

At this moment, the Jun Cheng is the only backbone of Fenghai County. All the elders in Fenghai County are led by him. Coupled with his great merits, it can be said that he has won the respect of the prince and the hearts of the people.

Like the sun.

Thinking about the seventh prince's behavior after his arrival, it is not difficult to see that the two of them are obviously cooperating with each other.

"The reason why the White Jade Hand appears in the Immortal Forbidden Land is because this is a transaction..."

Xu Qing sighed softly, pushed open the door of the sword pavilion, stood at the door, and looked at the dark night sky and earth.

After a long time, a piece of light appeared in the distant sky, extremely bright, illuminating the sky.

Its appearance made the dawn break much faster than before.

And as the sky brightened, the earth also felt the aftermath, bringing with it warmth.

At the same time, all the monks in Fenghai County received a notice from the county magistrate.

"Human Emperor Xuanzhan raised a domain treasure belonging to our human race in the Heitian clan's domain ten hours ago!"

——

As I said before, I am trying a new idea, which will bury many foreshadowings of a major event in one chapter. But looking at it now, there are also disadvantages, because it takes too long, and it can be swept away or If you skip chapters and read, there will be a lot of obstacles in understanding.

There's nothing I can do...

For ease of understanding, there are two ways:

1. In the upper right corner of the chapter in the Qidian APP, click on it and there will be a search function. Search for keywords, which can facilitate everyone to check the foreshadowing in the past subscribed chapters.

Second, let me sort it out for everyone.

Chapter 1, Chapter 419, the scent of osmanthus appears in the empty wish box for the first time. Xu Qing detects the smell, which is the first foreshadowing.

2, Chapter 431, Yangui (Osmanthus fragrans, also known as Yangui) appears in the Juncheng's mansion. There is a cover for my release and the second foreshadowing.

3. In Chapter 512, Xu Qing learned that the wish box in Chapter 419 was related to the death of the governor, so the smell became a huge clue.

Chapter 4, Chapter 528, the smell appears in Sudan.

Chapter 5, 402, the county magistrate tells that all things will change according to the circumstances. This is the biggest foreshadowing in the entire county plot. What was said at that time is actually the answer to today's chapter.

Chapter 6, Chapter 466, when Xu Qing asked Chu Tianqun where Zi Qing and Yejiu were, Chu Tianqun said, when you know how the color of the sea changes, you understand everything. This is the foreshadowing of the supplementary chapter 402, and it is also a small spoiler.

Chapter 7, Chapter 422, the little boy Ding Yisan Er's luck has changed, which is the foreshadowing before the onset of the Shangguang Mingjie Pill.

The above are some of the foreshadowings I laid down in the previous hundred chapters, and there are others that will be revealed one by one in the follow-up.

Writing is not easy, but I put a lot of effort into this book.
