Outside of Time

Yinghuangzhou, along Taisidu'e Mountain, all the way to the north, the sky is covered with dark clouds.

Amidst the bursts of thunder and lightning and the rolling black clouds, it seemed that the sky and the earth had become one color at this moment, exuding depression, like a huge cage.

The sentient beings inside cannot escape from this prison and can only endure it silently.

Big raindrops poured down, sweeping across the earth, raising clouds of mist-like water vapor that spread from the ground to all around, invading everything.

In this heavy rain, a huge flying boat measuring three thousand feet was roaring between heaven and earth.

The speed was so fast that it directly hit a series of sonic booms and dense water mist.

From a distance, it looks like a black dragon flying in the sky.

Especially the shape of this flying boat is also in the shape of a dragon.

There are also two long dragon whiskers on the bow of the ship, which flutter when it is galloping. There is a faint light shining on them, which can be explored in all directions.

In the flying boat, Xu Qing was wearing a purple gold-enriched Taoist robe, and his hair was tied with a white and gradually red ribbon. He was standing on the deck, pressing his hands on the railing of the boat, looking into the distance through the rain.

Everything he looked at was hazy, and at this moment the whole world seemed to be in chaos, endless and vast.

Looking at this scene from a distance, one can't help but feel a sense of the vastness of the world and the insignificance of oneself.

This reminded Xu Qing of the ancient bronze door he saw in the corpse prison and the invisible existences in the world that he had glimpsed through the forbidden magic weapon.

They seemed to be parasitic in this world, and all living things became their nourishment.

Disgusting.

Xu Qing sighed softly and retracted his thoughts.

It has been half a month since I left the Eight Sects Alliance.

In the past half month, in addition to practicing, he spent more time standing here and looking into the distance. He had a special emotion in his heart about this long journey.

There is expectation, melancholy, and complexity.

The reason for the expectation is that he will start a new life in a strange place. He walked from a corner of Nanhuang Continent to Seven Blood Pupils, and then to Yinghuang Continent. The place he is going to now is the ordinary world. A place that no one in my lifetime can reach.

The capital of a county.

The reason for melancholy is... Chaoxia Mountain.

He longed to reach it immediately and was anxious to see the tomb with his own eyes.

This mixture of emotions makes it complicated.

Xu Qing was silent.

After a long time, he lowered his head and looked at the small seal in his hand. It was only the size of a fingernail and was completely black. It had some totems of ferocious beasts carved on it, which was very delicate.

This small seal given by the ancestor has been thoroughly studied and understood by him in the past half month.

This is a weapon that is mainly used for killing. Once deployed, it is indestructible.

It's just that if you use the golden elixir cultivation to stimulate the activation, it is difficult to achieve it overnight. It requires long-term cultivation before it can have the ability to activate in an instant.

Now half a month has passed, and Xu Qing's cultivation has been completed. The moment he put it away after playing with it, someone walked out of the cabin and came to Xu Qing's side.

"I've met the Fifth Master." Xu Qing cupped his fists and bowed.

The person who came was an old woman, the peak master of the fifth peak of Seven Blood Pupils. She was wearing a green robe, her face was old, her hair was gray, but her eyes were very bright.

Standing at the bow of the ship, the old woman looked at Xu Qing with a smile on her face.

She recognized from the bottom of her heart this disciple who had brought many honors to Qixuetong. Looking at Xu Qing, she seemed to be able to see the future of Qixuetong.

Therefore, she worked hard to look gentle.

It's just that years of studying the Yin and Evil Formation have left her with a chill in her bones, so that there is a lingering gloominess in her smile.

"Your heart is not at peace."

The old woman looked into Xu Qing's eyes. She felt the disciple in front of her, and her heart seemed to be filled with ups and downs.

Xu Qing nodded.

"There are always partings, journeys, and uncontrollable emotional ups and downs in this life. Outsiders can't help you. Only if you think about it yourself can you be more transparent. You are still young, so this time you will treat it like it is. Let’s take a look at the local customs along the way.”

"There are thirteen prefectures in Fenghai County, and Yinghuang Prefecture is located in the south. Next, we will pass through four prefectures before we reach the central capital of Fenghai County."

"The situation in each state is different. Although the human race is the main group, there are also many foreign ethnic groups." The old woman smiled and said, but the gloomy meaning was still strong.

"Fifth Master, will this journey take eight months?" Xu Qing asked softly after cupping his fists and thanking the old woman for her comfort.

"Yes, I came to you to tell you about this."

"This time we will use seven public teleportation points, three strange borrowed roads, and three months of desert flying before we can finally reach it. The calculated time should be exactly eight months. For safety reasons, the route is kept confidential. You can know it yourself. Can."

After speaking, the old woman patted Xu Qing's shoulder.

"Xu Qing, my ancestor and your master both told me before coming here that when you get to the county capital, if you need me to do anything, just ask. I am not good at fighting, I am good at formation killing."

The inherent gloominess in the Five Peaks Master's smile was even more obvious at this moment, with a hint of blood.

Xu Qing was not surprised. Qixuetong's style has always been like this, and the direction of good and evil in the formation is different. Obviously, the master of the Five Peaks is good at the evil formation, which mainly focuses on underworld killing.

"Thank you, Fifth Master." Xu Qing cupped his fists and bowed.

At the same time, when the heavy rain from heaven and earth fell on the world, in the Taisi Due Mountains, beside a lonely tomb, stood a man wearing a raincoat.

He stood silently in the rainstorm, letting the rain fall on him, making a splashing sound.

In the rain connecting heaven and earth with water lines, he slowly raised his head and looked at the distant flying boat in the sky.

The eyes under the bamboo hat revealed a faint golden light.

That is an expression of divinity.

A strong murderous intention surged in this man's heart, but like his aura, it was not exposed at all, and there was no fluctuation in his body.

He stood there as if he was integrated with his surroundings and could not be perceived.

"Yun'er, the person you most wanted to kill during your lifetime, it won't take long for your father to help you achieve your wish."

The man in coir raincoat lowered his head, looked at the solitary tombstone in front of him, and spoke softly, his voice hoarse.

The writing on the tombstone in front of him was a little blurry in the wind and rain, but if you look carefully, you can still faintly make out a line of words on it.

The tomb of the beloved son Shengyun.

There are no bones in the tomb, it is a cenotaph.

For a long time, in the wind and rain, the man in coir raincoat raised his feet and walked forward in the direction of the flying boat...

Time passes slowly like this.

The flying boat that Xu Qing and his party were on flew across the Yunxian Eternal River, crossed the northern ice field, crossed the border of Yinghuang Prefecture, and entered the territory of Quzhao Prefecture.

Unlike Yinghuangzhou, there is no sea in Quzhaozhou, so neither the climate nor the temperature contains moisture. Monks who live in Yinghuangzhou all year round will feel a little dry here.

However, after a simple adaptation, this feeling will disappear quickly.

There are many mountains in Quzhao Prefecture, and at the same time, there are many more foreign races here than in Yinghuang Prefecture.

Along the way, as the fifth master said before, Xu Qing did see a lot of customs and customs, and one strange ethnic group after another, which gave him a better understanding of all races.

For example, at this moment, the airship they were in was flying over a colorful plain.

The plain below seems to have special geology, so the colors are mixed.

Looking down, the plain seemed to be spliced ​​together with different colors. It was full of strangeness, and at the same time, a green surface of about ten thousand feet suddenly blurred.

Xu Qing noticed this scene, his eyes narrowed, and he observed carefully

Soon, a scene that shocked him appeared.

That blurry green area actually sat up from the ground!

This is not a plain, this is a green robe. It is too big and spread on the ground.

If someone who doesn't know its true identity passes by, at first glance, they will think that this piece of green itself is part of the plain.

But actually it's a huge piece of clothing.

Almost at the same time as it sat up, the other colors on the plain also sat up one by one, and some even took off to get closer to the flying boat.

They are actually all clothes, including clothes, pants, hats, and gloves.

Looking at it as a whole, the clothes on the huge plain are large and small, and the number is probably no less than a million.

Now only a small part floated out. They surrounded the airship, moving forward with the airship, constantly turning in circles.

These clothes contain levels of hierarchy, some are luxurious, some are solemn, some are like civilians, and some are like guards, but no body wearing them appears.

They are just clothes.

Surrounded by this, Xu Qing looked solemn. The captain also ran out of the cabin and came to his side, looking at the clothes with a surprised expression.

"Is there also a ghost spirit here?"

Everyone else on the flying boat was also on guard after seeing this scene.

The Supreme Immortal Zixuan also rarely walked out of the cabin. Looking at the clothes, she smiled and said hello to a princess dress in front of the flying boat.

The sleeves of the princess dress were flicked, and she bowed like a human being, then ignored the protection of the flying boat and floated in directly.

After arriving in front of Zixuan, he hugged Zixuan.

Then a spiritual message came out, and Zixuan seemed to be chatting with him, and they seemed to know each other.

Outsiders couldn't hear the specifics, but Xu Qing was also filled with wonder. When he continued to pay attention, he didn't know what Zixuan and Princess Qun said. Princess Qun actually turned around, as if looking at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing lowered his head and clasped his fists.

Soon, more clothes flew from the ground below.

Some of the maids' clothes were still carrying some spiritual fruits, which floated in regardless of the protection of the flying boat. After being placed on the flying boat like a reception, these clothes did not leave immediately, but flew around everyone curiously.

It can be felt from their previous actions and aura that they are not malicious.

In front of Xu Qing were some gloves, many styles, most of them slim. After surrounding him, he found that Xu Qing ignored them, so he flew to the captain.

The captain looked at it curiously and raised his hand to poke it.

After a short time, Zixuan and the princess skirt finished their greetings. The sleeves of the princess skirt flicked, and the clothes on the flying boat suddenly spread outside the flying boat and surrounded it again.

Like a guardian, they were escorting the flying boat to fly out of the plain. They clasped their fists in farewell and bowed one after another before leaving.

It wasn't until there was no trace left that everyone on the flying boat breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Yi Clan is one of the major forces in Quzhao Province. I didn't expect you, the Supreme Immortal, to be acquainted with them." The old woman from Wufeng said with emotion.

Zixuan Shangxian smiled softly.

"I am an old acquaintance with the eldest princess of their clan. We traveled together when we were young. She always wanted me to wear her clothes, but I always refused."

"Senior, what will happen if...you wear it?" The captain's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He put his right hand behind his back and couldn't help but ask.

Xu Qing blinked, and he saw the captain's right hand behind his back, wearing a black gauze glove.

It was one of the gauze gloves that surrounded him just now. It was unknown when the captain put it on his hand.

Zi Xuan gave the captain a meaningful look and spoke calmly.

"After putting it on, you will forcibly enter into an ancient contract with them, and the flesh and blood covered will belong to them from now on."

The captain breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, raised his right hand and looked at the glove on it.

"Well, that's okay. Since they are your good friends, Master Zixuan, I will treat them as gifts." The captain said, biting his wrist.

Under the strange looks of everyone on the flying boat, the captain bit his wrist off with a click.

His expression did not change during the whole process, and he was obviously used to it. After biting it off, he took the severed hand with the glove and threw it outside the flying boat, and waved his left hand with a smile.

"Goodbye, I will come and play with you when I have time."

The severed hand with gloves floating outside the flying boat actually waved goodbye to the captain, and slowly walked away with some reluctance.

"Can you imagine, my own right hand is saying hello and farewell to me." The captain looked at Xu Qing with emotion on his face.

Xu Qing acquiesced, and no one around him knew what to say.

Seeing this scene, Wu Jianwu's eyes widened, revealing a strange light, and he became very poetic.

"In ancient times, there was a big snake that cut off its tail and ran home after eating it."

“Now two cows have bitten off the hand, and the five-fingered girl is a friend.
