Xu Qing's eyes narrowed and he turned to look at the captain, thoughtfully.
The captain raised his head and looked at Xu Qing with a half-smile.
"This restricted area is a bit weird, but overall it's fine." Xu Qing said.
"Well, that's good. I go less to the restricted area and more to the sea. I just happened to come over and have a look and learn." The captain laughed.
Both of them took the initiative to avoid the topic just now, as if they had forgotten the matter, and walked towards the restricted area.
They knew very well that they could not continue talking about that topic. The matter was too big and related to the layout of the entire Seven Blood Pupils. Even if they thought about it a little deeper, they could feel the monstrous ambition hidden in it.
You must know that although there are nine corpse ancestor statues in the entire Sea Corpse Clan, this does not mean that the Sea Corpse Clan has only had nine statues since its birth...
In the ancient times, there must have been more corpse ancestor statues, but due to various accidents, they were taken away by other ethnic groups for study. Even if there are no clues or answers in the end, it is impossible to return them.
There is a high probability that of the nine corpses of the Sea Corpse Clan, there are only nine left now.
Then think about the attack of Seven Blood Pupils and the war fortress of Liufeng in the war. They were not dispatched on the battlefield. They only showed it when Liu Ye took revenge, but they only showed normal power and did not exceed the standard.
The meaning here is very profound.
Xu Qing buried this matter deep in his heart and understood why the captain fled and shamelessly insisted on following him.
On the one hand, the captain has a strong desire to talk. Knowing such a secret, he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't show it off.
On the other hand, if he had not come out and stayed in Qixuetong, the sect would probably find a reason to lock up the captain for a period of time in order to keep some secrets.
Xu Qing shook his head and did not continue to think about it. No matter how big this matter was, it had nothing to do with him. Moreover, the war should be over now. It won't take long before everything will be answered.
Xu Qing took a deep breath, put away all his thoughts, and walked into the restricted jungle.
He had been here countless times in the past and it was extremely familiar to him. He could walk around at will without closing his eyes, and it was almost the same. All the plants and trees he saw around him seemed to be able to emerge in his memory.
So the moment he walked into the jungle, Xu Qing's speed suddenly accelerated, and he was like a ghost, whizzing forward in the jungle, with the captain behind him, looking around curiously.
It is true that he rarely goes to restricted areas on land. The only one he has been to is the Huangjin area next to the sect. He also went there to learn some magical powers, but unfortunately he failed and did not succeed.
At this moment, Xu Qing saw that Xu Qing was getting faster, so he also increased his speed. He walked where Xu Qing had landed. He observed as he walked, and he learned quickly while thinking about it.
"So there is so much knowledge." The captain looked at Xu Qing's figure rising and falling in the jungle, observing very carefully. As for the heterogeneity here, he didn't care.
The heterogeneity in the sea is richer than here. The Qixuepu technique is still very good at separating heterogeneity. Unless they are pushed to the limit and are in a desperate situation, a large number of disciples will rarely collapse if the heterogeneity exceeds the standard.
thing.
Xu Qing ignored the captain. At this moment, he was immersed in his memory. As he moved forward, scenes from the past flashed through his mind frame by frame. The closer he got to the destination, the more he felt in his heart.
After a while, Xu Qing slowed down, walked through a bush, and saw a lonely grave.
Weeds grew around the grave, but the tombstone had not disappeared and was still standing there. Apparently, even though more than two years had passed, what Xu Qing did in the scavenger camp that day made the subsequent scavengers, after hearing about it,
Everyone is full of respect for this tomb.
Even if you don't help with the weeding, you won't damage or disturb it.
After all, they are all scavengers. It is a very happy thing to have someone to bury the bones after death. Why take a certain risk and destroy it if there is no benefit at all.
Xu Qing looked at the tombstone, silently approached, and sat in front of the tomb. He raised his hand to clear away the weeds around him one by one. Finally, he picked up the wine bottle, took a sip, and poured some more on the grave soil.
"Team Lei, Master Bai has also left." Xu Qing said softly, leaning against the big tree on the side, looking up at the black clouds in the sky in the gap between the tree crowns.
The captain was silent, looking at the grave, and then at Xu Qing. He did not speak or come closer, but went far away. He knew that Xu Qing at this moment needed to be alone.
Xu Qing really needed to be alone. He leaned against the big tree and drank wine silently. As the sky slowly darkened, Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the jungle in the distance. There... was nothing.
"Team Lei, you said that the people who could survive hearing the singing here will see the person they want to see the most after hearing the singing for the second time..."
"But there are several people I want to see. I wonder if one day I hear singing, will I see them all." Xu Qing murmured softly and took another sip of wine.
The surroundings were quiet, there was no sound, the sky gradually became darker, and gradually the entire jungle became pitch black.
Xu Qing was silent.
Until more than half an hour passed, he sighed softly, knelt down to the grave, kowtowed, and when he stood up, he placed the wine bottle on the grave soil.
"I still haven't found the Destiny Flower." Xu Qing looked at the tombstone. After a long time, he turned around and walked away.
Step by step, it gradually disappeared into the night.
As Xu Qing moved forward, not long after, footsteps came from behind him. They were the captain.
"Xu Qing, if you have a chance in the future, please accompany me back home. I haven't gone back to worship for a long time." The captain's voice was a little hoarse and he spoke softly.
Xu Qing nodded.
In the night, their figures moved forward in the dark jungle. During this period, no strange beasts appeared. The instinct from the beasts allowed them to feel that the two people who appeared in the jungle today were different from the usual scavengers.
, completely different.
Late at night, Xu Qing came to the valley and walked in the valley. The bloodstains on the ground had long been covered by weeds. In two or three years, the horse chestnuts here had grown again, and there were no traces of being picked.
Apparently this valley has not been discovered by other scavengers yet.
Looking at the collapsed wooden house in the distance, Xu Qing thought of the scenes of refining poison inside, and Shadow was obviously emotionally unstable here. As for the ancestor of the King Kong Sect, he had been silent since Xu Qing came back.
Xu Qing knew that the large areas of the outside world, including the restricted area, were not only the place where he once lived, but also belonged to the shadows and the ancestors of the Vajra Sect.
Crossing the valley, Xu Qing looked at the temples in the distance.
In the dark night, with the appearance of lightning in the sky, and with the help of a moment of brightness, the temples in Xu Qing's eyes stood there, no different or changed from before.
It is conceivable that even if more time passes, and even if the scavenger camp outside eventually changes from generation to generation, this temple complex will still stand here and remain unchanged forever.
"Huh? There is actually a Taicang Taoist temple here." When Xu Qing stared at it, the captain behind him let out a light sigh.
"Taicang Taoist Temple?" Xu Qing turned his head and looked at the captain.
"I remembered that I had seen you display magical powers similar to the Heavenly Sword before. I thought it looked familiar at the time. Looking at it now, you must have experienced Tai Cang Yida here." The captain said, his eyes
He opened his eyes wide, showing a hint of surprise.
"No way. The more I recall that sword strike, the more similar it becomes. Are you really right?"
"Oh my God, that's Tai Cang Yida. Do you know what Tai Cang Yida is? That's amazing!"
Xu Qing took a deep look at the captain. Xu Qing was already familiar with the other party's hobby of making mysteries. He also knew that if he asked, he might end up owing spiritual stones for no reason. He also knew that to deal with such a hobby, you must first let him go.
He holds it back until he reaches the limit, and when he opens his mouth, the other person will most likely say it all.
So he withdrew his gaze and walked towards the temples. The captain blinked and followed behind, marveling as he walked.
"Amazing."
"Wow."
"Awesome."
As he talked, Xu Qing arrived at the place where the temples were located. He found the temple where he had realized the sword strike, stepped in, looked up at the statues in the temple, and sat cross-legged beside it.
When he came back this time, in addition to paying homage to Captain Lei, he also wanted to see if he could continue to learn about the Heavenly Sword here to make it even more powerful.
"Sure enough, it's the Taoist statue of Tai Cang!" As soon as the captain entered the temple, he was attracted by the statue. He quickly walked around in a circle and looked back at Xu Qing, who was sitting beside him trying to comprehend. The captain blinked, half-smiling but not smiling.
Didn't speak.
In this way, time passed and the night passed.
Xu Qing felt a little regretful in his heart, but he analyzed that it would take a certain amount of time to comprehend this sword, and this time was uncertain, it could be a few months or it could be decades.
So as the morning light fell outside, Xu Qing stood up, and the captain smiled like a spring mountain.
"It didn't succeed. It was expected. It would be strange if you could succeed."
"Why?" Xu Qing was surprised.
"You can't hold it anymore. Ask me why you don't hold it in anymore?" The captain was extremely proud.
Xu Qing looked into the captain's eyes and said nothing.
The captain blinked and said nothing.
After a while, Xu Qing sighed.
"Senior brother, tell me exactly why."
The captain laughed loudly when he heard this, he was so proud that he coughed.
"Then I'll tell you, but don't forget the fifty thousand spiritual stones you owe me." After saying that, the captain said the answer in one breath.
"Taicang Taoist Temple is said to have originated from the Taicang Taoist Kingdom in the Taicang Era. However, this Taoist country has left very little history. Only in some restricted areas do such Taoist temples exist. The statues of gods enshrined in the Taoist temples are all
It seems that many years ago, someone discovered that these Taoist temples actually contain an extremely amazing inheritance, which can be regarded as an imperial-level technique that can be understood by all races."
"It's just that it's very difficult to gain enlightenment. It depends on the opportunity, and the sword techniques in each Taoist temple are different. Therefore, no one knows how many swords this emperor-level inheritance has, but I heard that some people have gained enlightenment with one sword, and some have gained enlightenment.
After two or three blows, it seemed that the most enlightenment was from six or seven blows."
"But no matter what, there is no doubt about its power. If you have experienced more than three swords, you will be comparable to a quasi-emperor level magical power. If you reach six or seven swords, you will be fully emperor-level."
"As for the Taicang Taoist Temple, not only does it exist here, there is a large ruins in Huangjin next to the Seven Blood Pupils. There is such a Taoist temple in the center of the ruins. I once went to understand it, but failed. You can look back.
If you have a chance, you can go there and have a look.”
When the captain said this, he looked a little weird and said.
"In addition, once someone successfully comprehends the sword skills in Taicang Taoist Temple, the Taoist charm of the temple statue will dissipate, and it will take half a month to be re-formed before others can continue to comprehend it. So it was impossible for you last night
Success, it's not that I didn't tell you, but that you didn't ask me, I'm actually curious about what you were doing last night."
A vein twitched in Xu Qing's forehead.
The captain coughed and said again.
"Of course there is no way to advance. That is to kill the person who has realized this sword in front of the statue that he has realized. In this case, the charm of the statue will be restored immediately and people can realize it again."
