Outside Of Time

Vol 19 Chapter 556: There is a lie called hope

The so-called fire in the sky is a unique climate change in the Moon Festival.

There are different opinions on the principle of its formation. Some people say that it is caused by the tide of the power of the red moon, because the closer the arrival of the red moon, the more frequent the sky fire will pass through the sky.

Some people also said that the master who was killed by Hongyue Town is returning.

And whenever the sky fire appears across the sky, the entire Moon Sacrifice area will be brightly lit up, and the sky will be filled with flames, rising from the east until covering the entire sky.

The farther it is to the east, the more intense the light and heat, and at the same time, there are varying degrees of rain of fire.

It will take several months for the sea of ​​fire in the sky to return and fall into the sea of ​​fire in the east again. This is considered a cycle.

During this process, the entire eastern part of the Moon Sacrifice Region, except for small altars and other places, will be burned in the rain of fire.

Whether it is a city or a plant, most of them will become fly ash.

This is also the reason why most of the cities in the land of the alliance between the two races are made of clay and rough. Only their common holy city can barely bear it under the blessing of the power of the two races and with some special methods. But it is also inevitable to be damaged.

Every time the sky fire returns, rebuilding begins, and the soil must be refurbished to dispel the poison of fire. This is the source of common food cultivation.

Fortunately, the fire in the sky often occurs once every few decades, and it is not too frequent. The destruction is mainly in the east, and the other areas are not seriously affected. It is not difficult for monks to rebuild with magic.

Ordinary clansmen need to find a way to enter the holy city to take refuge before then, but this will cost a lot of money. If they don't have the conditions...they can only hide underground.

Use the physique they have formed to adapt to the fire from generation to generation to avoid the fire.

This is also the reason why Xu Qing saw the border guards, they were all hiding in the ground, they wanted to complete their own decomposition before the arrival of the sky fire, so that they could become one with the soil in the ground.

The Tianmian family also has a similar method.

It's just that these methods are all evolved by them to adapt to this place, and Xu Qing doesn't have them.

At the moment where he was underground, the surrounding area was extremely hot, the soil began to crystallize, the high temperature pervaded, and a strong sense of discomfort also surfaced in Xu Qing's heart.

"It's almost approaching the temperature of the magma surface, and this is just the beginning..."

Xu Qing was sweating on his forehead, his body was sticky, and the water gradually couldn't be locked in his body, which made him feel faintly uncomfortable, and he fled deeper into the earth.

It didn't feel better until it reached a certain range, but the warning from the crisis of the mind and the uneasiness of the mosasaurus was still strong.

So he didn't take back his consciousness and paid close attention to the outside world.

In his perception, the outer sky was glaring with flames, and the magma was rolling on the sky, and following the handshake of the pair of severed hands, it seemed to be driven away, spreading continuously.

At the same time, a large amount of fire rain fell, and many mountain peaks began to melt, becoming more and more irregular.

The world and the ground are filled with endless flames, thick smoke billowing, and scorching heat.

According to Xu Qing's judgment, its horror is comparable to the scorching heat of himself within a foot of magma.

"It can't go on like this!"

The sense of crisis became more and more intense in Xu Qing's heart. He looked deeper into the earth, thinking in his eyes.

It is not impossible to continue, but after all, there is a limit to oneself. After all, there is a squeezing force in the land of Wanggu Continent. If Xu Qing sinks too deep, it will be difficult for him to bear it.

"Especially I don't know if the fire will spread deeper this day... If the power of its spread exceeds the limit of my sinking, it will be a Jedi for me."

Xu Qing weighed in his heart, he could feel that this was the first day of Tianhuo, and it must be even more terrifying after that.

So Xu Qing quickly took out a jade slip.

Inside this jade slip is a simple map, which was given by the human race old man Duan Muzang before he left, and it was also the place where he told Xu Qingtian that Huo was coming, and that if he really had nowhere to go, he could come to the place where the map was located.

After Xu Qing pondered, he decided to go and have a look first. If it really didn't work, he would go underground to gamble, or leave at full speed.

The alliance of the two races, stay away from the fire.

Thinking of this, he shook his body and went straight to the ground.

He didn't choose to escape deep underground, so the speed was relatively slow. At this moment, his body entered the high temperature. The closer to the ground, the more terrifying the temperature.

When the soil broke through and appeared on the ground, Xu Qing's body was covered with burn scars.

The pain spread.

The temperature between the sky and the earth has exceeded the scorching heat of the magma, even if Xu Qing's body is good, he has recovered, but the pain of being burned is still strong.

The most important thing is that even if Xu Qing had the blessing of the Rishu Fate Lamp, he couldn't bear the attack of this piece of sky fire on the soul for too long.

This is also the reason why he was unable to refine for a long time in the sea of ​​​​fire.

The physical body is on the one hand, and the soul is on the other hand.

Especially compared to the physical body, Xu Qing's spirit is more fragile.

"It can't be too long!" Xu Qing breathed hot air, which seemed to be burning inside and outside his body.

Without any hesitation, he rushed out, and while galloping through the sea of ​​fire, he also took out the umbrella that Duanmuzang gave him, and after propping it up, the temperature was isolated.

Xu Qing's body was relaxed, and his speed was faster.

As he roared, he set off a storm, and wherever he passed, flames roared.

In this way, two days later, the outside temperature became even more astonishing, all he could see was a sea of ​​flames, blurred and distorted, his consciousness was also cut off, and his umbrella was showing signs of collapse at this moment.

Fortunately, the place marked by the jade slip has appeared in the distance.

There didn't seem to be anything unusual there, it was supposed to be a collapsed abandoned mine, but now it was melting more and more in the sea of ​​flames, without any trace of survival.

Xu Qing came quickly, swept around, and frowned.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you can take refuge here. Even if you can enter the mine pit inside through some gaps, the heat radiating from it is no less than that from the outside.

"It's a pity that the spiritual consciousness is isolated, and the range of dispersion is not large, so it is difficult to perceive more."

Xu Qing pondered, glanced at his umbrella that was about to collapse, and then at the mine.

"However, based on the performance of Duanmu hiding in the sea of ​​fire, if it is really a hiding place, it makes sense. After all, if it is seen casually, it cannot be regarded as a hiding place."

Xu Qing was thoughtful, swayed his cat waist, and entered the abandoned mine along the gap in front of it. As soon as he stepped in, the fiery force rushed to his face.

Xu Qing kept silent, kept vigilant, and continued to move forward. He was going to go a certain distance to see the situation.

After walking for an hour, the mine hadn't reached the end yet, and the fiery power was still strong. When Xu Qing frowned, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked up into the distance.

Vaguely, he saw a figure lying there - motionless.

You can't see a man or a woman, but you can only see that the other party seems to be wearing thick armor, and there is an open umbrella next to it to block the high temperature.

This was the only figure Xu Qing saw after the fire passed through the sky, so he squinted his eyes, and the shadows spread out to cover him first, until he felt some emotional fluctuations, Xu Qing was a little surprised, and went straight towards him.

In an instant, he was in front of this figure.

Even though the perception is relatively isolated from this distance, Xu Qing still has some exploration.

This is a cultivator of the human race, whose cultivation base is building a foundation and three fires. He is already dying at this moment and is about to die.

He is wearing black armor all over his body, all parts are covered, and the material of this armor is also very special, which can insulate high temperature to a certain extent.

The umbrella on the side also caught Xu Qing's attention.

This umbrella is exactly the same as the one given by Duanmu Zang.

Xu Qing thoughtfully, looked up at the depths of the mine, raised his hand to grab the figure, and continued walking.

Just like that, after another half an hour, Xu Qing finally arrived at the end of the pit, where there was nothing, the surrounding soil crystallized, and the high temperature gathered made the place even hotter.

stand right here

, Xu Qing looked around, and suddenly spoke.

"Senior, I picked up this person on the road, and he came to look for you, right?"

As soon as Xu Qing's words came out, a cold voice came from inside the wall.

"It's useless for people who don't follow the rules!"

Having said that, the wall on the side still twisted and turned into a vortex. Duanmuzang's figure stepped out from inside, raised his right hand, and grabbed the human race that Xu Qing picked up from the air.

Xu Qing let go, and the armored human youth went straight to the whirlpool, was caught by Duanmuzang, threw him behind him, and then looked up at Xu Qing.

"Boy, what are you doing here?"

After a few contacts, Xu Qing came to some judgments about the old man's behavior and asked questions knowingly, so he didn't say anything about the jade slips the other party gave him, but was straightforward.

"—God, a hundred spirit stones!"

The old man snorted coldly.

"One thousand a day!"

"make a deal!"

Xu Qing nodded.

The old man glanced at Xu Qing, and took a few steps back.

Xu Qing squinted his eyes, and the poison in his body was dispersed. After preparing for an explosion in case of an ambush, he took a step and went straight to the whirlpool.

As he stepped in, his figure disappeared, and the vortex quickly dissipated, as usual.

On the other side of the wall, when Xu Qing appeared, he was already in a crypt, surrounded by many mutilated statues, some without heads and some with missing limbs.

Other than that, the entire crypt was empty.

As for the human youth, he was nowhere to be seen, only Duanmuzang sat cross-legged on the neck of a headless statue in the distance, staring at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing quickly looked around, felt behind him again, and then his eyes froze.

At the entrance behind him was a huge wall on which stood thousands of masks and a similar number of mirrors.

These masks were all refined by special techniques after the death of the Tianmian tribe, and the same is true for the mirrors.

The mask of the Tianmian Clan who wanted to attack Xu Qing at the beginning was also in it.

"These two groups, in order to adapt to this place, have evolved a lot of abilities from generation to generation. They can be used to block the sea of ​​fire. With some special methods and the layout here, they can avoid the sky fire to a certain extent."

The old man spoke lightly, with some pride in his voice.

"Heavenly fire passes through the sky, usually lasts for a hundred days, one thousand a day, one hundred days is two hundred thousand spirit stones, bring it here."

Raising her green eyebrows, she glanced at the old man and spoke seriously.

"—One hundred days is one hundred thousand."

"One hundred thousand a person, and you have a snake, isn't that two hundred thousand!" The old man glared.

"I don't have that many spirit stones."

Xu Qing truthfully said that he had many spiritual tickets but not many spiritual stones on him, so he took out a magic weapon and put it aside.

"Can be offset by this."

The old man glanced at it, raised his hand to grab it, and nodded.

"Alright."

After he finished speaking, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and his tone was chilling, and he spoke slowly.

"I'm only helping you this time because you are a human race, but listen carefully, this grotto is a restricted area, if you trespass... don't blame me for not thinking of human race!"

Xu Qing nodded upon hearing this.

The old man gave Xu Qing a meaningful look, turned around and disappeared into the grotto.

Xu Qing looked as usual. After checking around, he was sure that there was no obstacle here. He also saw that the statues were very old. There were no human races inside, but dragons and snakes surrounded them, revealing killing.

Although they are all incomplete, looking at it as a whole, it seems that when these statues are complete, they are all in a state of worship, and this place is inherently cold, more like a tomb.

"Could it be that this was originally a cemetery?"

Xu Qing was thoughtful, found a statue, and when he sat cross-legged, Ling'er came out from his neckline, looked around the same way, and spoke softly.

"Brother Xu Qing, this place seems to be related to our ancient spirit clan."

Xu Qing's heart moved, and he looked at Ling'er.

Ling'er looked around carefully and whispered.

"Brother Xu Qing, those statues are indeed the gods of the ancient spirit clan. Our clan was a snake when we were young, and we took human form when we were adults. If our blood is strong, we will be accompanied by heavenly dragons after our cultivation breaks through the shackles. Law does not violate."

"Look at the specifications here, it is the tomb of a certain sage of our clan."

"Generally speaking, the tombs of our family contain multiple layers. Brother Xu Qing, there should be a larger tomb below this. This is only the first floor."

"I can feel that the restrictions on the cemetery are still there. Brother Xu Qing, I should be able to open the entrance to the next floor." Linger said happily, she felt that she could finally help Brother Xu Qing.

Hearing this, Xu Qing looked around carefully, then patted Ling'er's head, and said softly.

"There's no need to open it. Since the current owner doesn't want us to disturb it, we'll just wait for the sky fire to end and leave."

Xu Qing is a person who knows how to measure. Since the two parties are trading, unless it is absolutely necessary, he is willing to abide by the rules of the transaction.

Ling'er was thoughtful, she felt that brother Xu Qing's approach was different from her father's, so she remembered this matter and was going to learn it.

Time flies, half a month has passed.

The sky fire outside is becoming more and more terrifying. It burns the world, everything ceases to exist, and all living beings tremble.

From afar, it looks like the wrath of the gods, shocking.

The roaring sound surpassed the sky thunder even more, the entire sea of ​​fire sank too much, most of the magma inside was sucked into the sky, and the severed hand was gone.

In the mine pit, in the tomb of the ancient spirit clan, Xu Qing kept his promise and did not leave the grotto for half a step. He was still practicing, and Duanmuzang never appeared again, everything was safe and sound.

Ling'er is also very well-behaved, and she didn't go to explore deeper. For her, as long as she is with Brother Xu Qing, everything is extremely satisfying.

Only occasionally, she would feel a little useless.

"I also want to quickly digest the luck power of the ancient spirit royal family in my body, so as to speed up the promotion of blood." Ling'er thought so in her heart, and she was also doing the same.

And Xu Qing's practice here was interrupted by a visitor on the seventeenth day.

Following the ground of a grotto, shining with the light of the formation, a cautious figure quickly walked out from the inside.

It wasn't Duanmuzang, but a human youth in a green shirt.

Xu Qing opened his eyes, and recognized this person as the comatose person he rescued half a month ago. The person was still weak at the moment, but he was fine.

Obviously the armor is very useful, and Duanmuzang must also treat this person.

It's just that the fire poison on his body is difficult to disperse, and many places have been burned and withered, blood red, and the skin cannot regenerate, which is a bit hideous.

When Xu Qing looked at it, the young man of the human race was full of apprehension. He walked a few steps quickly and knelt down to Xu Qing.

"Junior Shi Pangui, thank you senior for saving my life!"

Xu Qing took a few glances at the young man of the human race. The other person's name was a bit strange, but he didn't ask any further questions and spoke calmly.

"It's nothing, even if I don't make a move, Senior Duanmu will save you."

The human youth was still bowing, and after kowtowing three times to Xu Qing, he stood up and looked at Xu Qing, speaking nervously.

"In any case, it was the senior who came to the rescue, and this junior will always remember this kindness in his heart."

With that said, he took out a food box from his arms and put it aside.

"The junior knows that the senior has a high level of cultivation, and the junior has nothing of value. This is some food made by my wife. Thank you, senior!"

After the human youth finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to Xu Qing again, stepped back respectfully, returned to the formation, and disappeared.

Xu Qing looked at the food box, which contained some cooked pastries, exuding a fragrance, very delicate, and it looked like it was carefully prepared.

With Xu Qing's attainments in the way of poison, he can tell whether it is poisonous by smelling it, and he can feel it right now. He raised his hand to pick it up, and saw Ling'er swallowing, so he took a bite himself, and tested it again.

After obtaining the certificate, he handed a piece to Linger.

Ling'er ate it in one bite, her eyes narrowed.

"Gulu Gulu."

Obviously the taste is good, so Ling'er couldn't help but let out the voice of her childhood.

Seeing that Linger likes Xu Qing, she smiled and gave it to Linger.

Then close your eyes and continue to meditate.

Time passed day by day, and in the following days, Shi Pangui came many times, each time with food, respectfully,

Several times he hesitated to speak, but in the end he couldn't hold back, his eyes showed eagerness, and asked Xu Qing about the human race in the outer domain.

"Senior, I heard from the old lord that you are from a foreign land? What is it like outside...our human race...?"

Shi Pangui's expression was nervous, and he was even more expectant.

In his whole life, he couldn't leave the Moon Sacrifice Dayu, and his fate was doomed from the moment he was born, but when he was very young, the people around him told him about the glory of his race and the strength of his race.

It's just that what he sees is that the human race is humble and is the ration of foreigners.

All kinds of misery, all kinds of sadness, and all kinds of things made his heart shake and feel at a loss.

In fact, the answer or not, can not change his status quo, but he wants an answer.

He wanted to know if the human race outside was really full of brilliance and beauty as the old people told him.

This will become his inner support and pride.

Xu Qing stared at the human youth in front of him, and was silent for a while.

His silence caused the light in Shi Pangui's eyes to gradually dim.

"The human race outside lives and works in peace and contentment. They live a good life and don't have many disputes. Everything is beautiful, and the human emperor of this generation is even more talented. Some time ago, they fought against the Heitian clan and won a big victory."

"As for the foreign race, they have to bow their heads in front of our human race. Either they choose to become subordinates, or they will be wiped out."

"As for Jiyue Dayu, Human Sovereign is also worried about everything, everything is getting better."

Xu Qing said with a smile on his face.

His words and his smile made Shi Pangui's eyes light up, his breathing quickened, and his heart was extremely excited.

"I knew it was!"

"Zhou Wangbei was arguing with me yesterday, saying that the human race is extremely humble outside, and I said it was impossible. My human race is noble in blood, and the sacrifice of the moon is due to helplessness, and our race was once unified. It must be brilliant outside!"

"Thank you, senior!"

Shi Pangui was excited, and after bowing to Xu Qing, he left with excitement. He wanted to go back and tell his Taoist companion, his family and friends about these things.

Xu Qing watched the other party's figure disappear, and sighed softly in his heart.

He understood the reason for the other party's name, looking forward to returning, that was looking forward to the glorious return of the human race.

Looking north, it is because the imperial capital of the human race, Dayu, is in the north.

In fact, Xu Qing had already guessed about the lower level of the cemetery through contact these days.

There should be a group of human races there, and the king they talk about is Duanmuzang.

He sheltered some human races so that they could avoid the suffering outside and live here.

And this is also the reason why the other party warned him not to leave this place.

Respect rose in Xu Qing's heart, he stood up and looked behind him, cupped his fists in the distance, and bowed down.

As he bowed down, Duanmuzang's blurred figure appeared on a statue in the distance. He looked at the place where Shi Pangui left, and then at Xu Qing, and remained silent.

After a while, his voice was a little hoarse, echoing in the grotto.

"Thanks."

"Did the human race outside really win the battle?" Duan Muzang looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing nodded seriously.

"The Shenglan Great Domain now belongs to the human race, and the human race has its own domain treasure."

Duanmu Zang took one step and arrived at Xu Qing's side. This was the closest time the two had ever met. In the past, they had always been separated by some distance.

After arriving, Duanmuzang sat aside and threw a wine jug to Xu Qing.

"Tell me in detail."

Xu Qing took the jug, took a sip, frowned, took out his own wine from the storage bag, and threw it to Duanmuzang.

Duanmuzang took it, and his eyes lit up after drinking it.

Just like that, while the two were drinking, Xu Qing slowly opened his mouth, and roughly told Duanmu Zang what happened outside, but he hid his identity, and just described the matter from the perspective of a passerby.

During this period, Duanmuzang didn't say a word, but he listened very carefully.

Until a long time~www.novelmt.com~ the drink was finished, and Xu Qing also finished speaking.

Duanmuzang narrowed his eyes and spoke in a low voice.

"This Seventh Prince, what you saw was his actions and the Emperor's will, but you overlooked one point, his mother clan!"

Xu Qing's expression froze.

"As a prince, even if he has courage, he must have a deep background in this situation to be able to lift weights like this. Therefore, I think his mother's family may not be human. Even if it is human, it must be extraordinary!"

"There is also the Emperor, interesting, I feel that he knows everything clearly... because you look at the results, all the results seem to be within the controllable range."

"There is a big hand behind it, and it is always firmly in control."

After Duanmuzang finished speaking, he raised his head to look at Xu Qing, and said something meaningful.

"The starting point of this matter is Fenghai County, and if I were the emperor, I would have arranged a trustworthy person in Fenghai County to be my eye."

"But it can't be too high, it will make people guess."

Xu Qing looked as usual, but waves rose in his heart.

Duanmuzang didn't say much, stood up at this moment, and walked towards the distance. When his figure gradually blurred, he suddenly paused and turned to look at Xu Qing.

"Do you want to go and see, my home?"
