Outside of time 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 say that the master who was killed by Hongyue Town is returning.

And whenever the sky fire appears across the sky, the entire Moon Sacrifice Region will be brightly illuminated, 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 Territory, except for small altars and other places, will mostly 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 alliance between the two races are made of clay and rough. Only their common holy city can cooperate with some special methods under the blessing of the two races. Barely bear it, but it will inevitably be damaged.

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

Fortunately, the fire in the sky usually 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... then 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 that the border guards were all hiding underground. They wanted to complete their own decomposition before the arrival of the sky fire, so that they could become one with the underground soil.

The Tianmian family also has a similar method.

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

At this moment, the ground where he was located 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's forehead was sweating, 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 sky outside was glaring with flames, and the magma was rolling on the sky, and it seemed to be driven away by the pair of severed hands, spreading continuously.

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

All over the world, there are endless flames, thick smoke billowing, scorching hot.

The degree of horror, in Xu Qing's judgment, is already comparable to the scorching heat of himself within a foot of magma.

"I can't go on like this!"

The sense of crisis in Xu Qing's heart became stronger and stronger. He looked deeper into the earth, his eyes revealing thoughts.

It's not impossible to continue, but I have my limit after all. After all, there is a squeezing force in the land of Wanggu Continent. If Xu Qing sinks too deep, he can't 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. 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 doesn't work, then 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, under the rush, his body entered the high temperature. The closer to the ground, the more terrifying the temperature.

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

The pain spreads.

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

The most important thing is that even Xu Qing could not bear the attack of this piece of sky fire on the soul for too long with the blessing of the Rishu Life Lamp.

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

The physical body is one aspect, and so is the soul.

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

"Not too long!" Xu Qing breathes hot air, which seems to be burning inside and outside his body.

Without any hesitation, he rushed out. While galloping through the flames, he also took out the umbrella presented by Duanmuzang, and after propping it up, the temperature was isolated.

Xu Qing's body is loose, and his speed is faster.

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

Just like that, 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 showed 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 this place, it doesn't look like you can take refuge. 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 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 look at the situation from a distance.

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 changed suddenly, and he looked up into the distance.

Vaguely, he saw a figure lying there - motionless.

You can't see a man and 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 sky fire passed through the sky, so he squinted his eyes, and the shadows spread out, covering them first, until he heard the emotional fluctuations, Xu Qing was a little surprised, and went straight to the other party with a howl .

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. His cultivation base is in the foundation building 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 against 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 here

, Xu Qing looked around, and suddenly spoke.

"Senior, I picked up this person on the road, is he here to look for you?"

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!"

Even so, the wall on the side twisted and turned into a vortex. Duanmuzang's figure walked 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 conclusions about the old man's behavior and knowingly asked questions, so he didn't say anything about the jade slips the other party gave him, but went straight to the point.

"-day, one hundred spirit stones!"

The old man snorted coldly.

"One thousand a day!"

"Deal!"

Xu Qing nodded.

The old man glanced at Xu Qing and stepped 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 forward 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 burrow, surrounded by many mutilated statues, some without heads and some with missing limbs.

Other than that, the entire crypt is empty.

As for the human youth, there was no sign of him, only Duanmuzang sat cross-legged on the neck of a headless statue in the distance, staring at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing quickly looked around, sensed what was behind him, and then focused his eyes.

At the entrance behind him is a huge wall with thousands of masks and a similar number of mirrors on it.

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 tribe who was going to attack Xu Qing back then was also included.

"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.

"The fire in the sky usually lasts for a hundred days, one thousand a day, one hundred days is two hundred thousand spirit stones, bring it."

With a raised eyebrow, he 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 stared.

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

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

"Offset with this."

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

"Alright."

After finishing speaking, his eyes showed a cold light, his tone was also chilling, and he spoke slowly.

"I'm only helping you this time because you are a human race, but listen carefully, there are restricted areas outside this grotto, 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, showing killing.

Although they are all incomplete, looking at them 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 this be 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 opened his mouth softly.

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

Xu Qing's heart moved, and she 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 are humanoid when we are adults. body, ten thousand laws cannot invade."

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

"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." Ling'er 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 here doesn't want us to disturb, 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, and 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.

Looking at it from a distance, it looks like the wrath of the gods, which is 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, in the tomb of the ancient spirit tribe, Xu Qing kept his promise and did not leave the grotto for half a step. He was still practicing, and Duanmuzang never appeared again.

Ling'er is also very well-behaved, 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.

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 was not Duanmuzang, but a young human race wearing 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 over, the human youth was full of apprehension. He walked a few steps quickly and knelt down to Xu Qing.

"Senior Shi Pangui, thank you 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 worshiping, 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 kindness will be remembered by the younger generation."

As he spoke, he took out a food box from his arms and put it aside.

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

After the human race youth finished speaking, he got 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, one can tell whether it is poisonous or not by smelling it. At this moment, he feels no problem.

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

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

"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,

He hesitated to speak for several times, but in the end he couldn't hold it 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? Outside... what does our human race... look like?"

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

In his life, he couldn't leave the Moon Sacrifice Dayu, and he 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, whether the answer is true or not, cannot change his current situation, but he wants an answer.

He wanted to know whether 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 looked 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, and lives a good life without many disputes. Everything is beautiful, and the emperor of this generation is even more talented. He fought against the Heitian clan some time ago and won a big victory."

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

"As for Jiyue Dayu, Renhuang 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 Dayu was due to helplessness, and our race was once unified. Looking at the past, 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 is looking forward to the glorious return of the human race.

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

In fact, Xu Qing has 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 towards 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 long while, his voice was a little hoarse, echoing in the grotto.

"Thank you."

"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."

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

After arriving, Duanmuzang sat aside and threw a wine pot 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 Duan Muzang about what happened outside the day before, but he hid his identity and just described it from the perspective of a passerby this matter.

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

Until after a long time ~IndoMTL.com~ the drink was finished, Xu Qing also finished speaking.

Duanmu Zang 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, so that he can be so light, so I think that 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 is clear about everything... because when 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 as my eyes."

"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?"
