The little mute's eyes showed fear, his body trembled, and he wanted to struggle, but Xu Qing's right hand was like an iron clamp, firmly grasping his neck, so that no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless.
And the huge gap in cultivation left him with no possibility of resistance.
Even if...he is close to establishing a foundation.
The reason why I say it's close is that the little mute's cultivation is very strange. He is between Qi Condensation and Foundation Building, as if the Foundation Building is never finished.
This place is considered a busy city. There are many pedestrians around, including many disciples of Seven Blood Eyes and other sects. However, when everyone saw Xu Qing and the little mute, their expressions became condensed. The mortals retreated, while the monks lowered their heads to Xu Qing.
See you.
With Xu Qing's current status in the Eight Sects Alliance, let alone grabbing a disciple's neck, even if he killed someone in the street, there would be no trouble.
At most, he would just be reprimanded, and even if he had some sense, he wouldn't even be reprimanded.
After all, to a certain extent, he already represents the generation of disciples of the Eight Sects Alliance.
Xu Qing looked at the little mute coldly. He remembered that when he was patrolling the river before, the little mute was in a state of perfect Qi condensation and was about to step into the foundation building. But now he is in this state. Before contacting him, the ghost emperor mountain appeared in his eyes.
Look, an answer emerged in Xu Qing's mind.
He was very sure that the person in front of him was just an empty shell, and the soul inside was definitely not a mute.
Seeing that this person didn't say anything, Xu Qing carried the little mute and flew straight to the berth.
After arriving, he took out his Dharma Ship, which still had the power to self-destruct once. The moment he stepped into the cabin, Xu Qing's hands suddenly emitted the Dark Soul Fire, which poured directly into the little mute's body along his neck.
The next moment, a shrill whine came from the little mute's mouth. His body was visibly weak, and his whole body was shaking violently. His soul was pulled out by Xu Qing's Dark Soul Fire.
This soul is different from the little mute in appearance. It is a black mist that is constantly changing in appearance. It exudes an evil aura and is filled with a thick foreignness, as if it wants to pollute all directions.
But under the fire of Xu Qing's dark soul, it could only tremble. And in the next moment, as Xu Qing's shadow dispersed, when the shadow opened its eyes, revealing the hunger and desire to devour it, the soul trembled even more intensely.
.
Finally, Xu Qing breathed it in, and the soul was integrated into his body, and was directly suppressed on the 61st magic aperture. The fire of magic burned and continued to be refined. The little mute's body trembled, and slowly appeared in his eyes.
Xu Qing’s familiar charm.
Xu Qing had no expression on his face and let go of his hand.
The little mute fell to the ground, breathing rapidly and a little confused, but soon he seemed to recall something, his face became gloomy, and there was evil in his eyes.
Then he knelt down to Xu Qing, kowtowed three times, and looked at Xu Qing gratefully when he raised his head.
Xu Qing looked at the little mute carefully and spoke calmly.
"What happened."
The little mute immediately took out a jade slip, branded it quickly, and handed the jade slip to Xu Qing respectfully with both hands. After Xu Qing took it, he looked down and saw that there was no leather jacket on his body, and he was obviously a little uncomfortable.
comfortable.
"Go ahead and put it on." After Xu Qing spoke calmly, the little mute immediately took out his old dog-skin jacket from the storage bag. After putting it on his body, he calmed down and squatted there, silently waiting for Xu Qing's instructions.
.
Xu Qing looked at the jade slips and quickly learned the reason for the incident.
Everything is due to the little mute’s foundation building.
When monks build foundations, great terror will come, so they need to rent the sect's shelter and use the lights there to protect themselves.
The little mute did indeed do this, but he himself is strange, his perception is extraordinary, and he is extremely sensitive. This terrible intuition helps him a lot on weekdays. He can even feel the existence of shadows.
.
But... at the moment of foundation building, it became a huge flaw for him. His intuition and sensitivity were like a bright and dazzling torch, which not only attracted more unknown beings, but also made it easier for those beings to possess him.
.
As a result, he encountered the great terror of building a foundation, and was attacked by those black shadows that existed in another world. One of them even leaned over him and suppressed the soul of the little mute, almost taking away his body.
If Xu Qing hadn't seen it, I'm afraid that after a while, the little mute's own soul would be fused and swallowed. At that time... it would be difficult for any flaws to be exposed, and it would be even more difficult for outsiders to detect it.
Xu Qing pondered, and glanced at the little mute who was kneeling there, although his body was weak but his expression was very calm, and he remembered the various performances of the other party in the past. To a certain extent, this was actually his direct subordinate.
After all, from the beginning, the little mute frequently expressed his desire to follow, and later worked extremely hard in the department where he worked.
So Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and spoke calmly.
"You stay with me and go build the foundation."
The little mute's eyes lit up, and he immediately sat down cross-legged without any hesitation.
In his understanding, although foundation building contains great terror, it seems that as long as Xu Qing is here, he is not afraid of any horrible things.
So in the lotus position, the little mute quickly breathed out evenly, his cultivation gradually began to move, and the outside world gradually became late at night.
Xu Qing was also meditating until the third watch when he opened his eyes and looked at the little mute.
At this moment, the tide in the little mute's body was spreading, and he was looking for the Dharma Aperture, while a sinister wind came from all around.
Xu Qing's expression was as usual, the canopy above his head suddenly shone, and a big black umbrella appeared quickly. With a wave of his hand, the big black umbrella moved to the top of the little mute's head, and downwards, the light immediately shrouded the little mute's body.
The power of protection suddenly spread out, and the surrounding area suddenly became brighter. There were bursts of shrill screams that could not be heard by the ears, but could be sensed by the mind, coming from all around.
It was the sound of countless black shadows quickly retreating in the sudden light of the black umbrella fire.
But before they could completely escape, Xu Qing's shadow suddenly moved and spread in all directions, turning into a wide mouth and swallowing wildly. With the sound of chewing, most of these black shadows were swallowed by the shadow.
Xu Qing was thoughtful, and suddenly raised his hand to grab the remaining black shadows. It was difficult for these black shadows to break free. They were immediately caught by Xu Qing, integrated into his body, and suppressed on the 61st Dharma Aperture.
In an instant, the suppressive power of the sixty-first Dharma Aperture was complete.
"Is this okay?" Xu Qing's eyes lit up, and the shadow beside him felt a little aggrieved. It felt that its food had been taken away by Demon Xu, but it did not dare to show it and could only close its mouth silently.
Xu Qing's eyes showed a strange light, and after thinking deeply, the light of the big black umbrella was suddenly restrained, and its protective power did not dissipate, but did not appear.
Just by doing this, the light of the life lamp will not cause harm to the surrounding black shadows, so the black shadows will soon surround the surroundings again. Under the gusts of wind, these black shadows do not seem to have much intelligence. Under the instinct of greed,
While driving, he went straight to the little mute.
But what awaits them is the dark soul fire between Xu Qing's hands.
The fire suddenly spread and swept around, covering all the surrounding black shadows. In one roll, it was all rolled into Xu Qing's body, and quickly fell on the ground on the 62nd Dharma Aperture. The next moment, the 62nd Dharma Orifice,
Immediately complete.
Xu Qing was happy in his heart. He didn't expect that this method would have such a miraculous effect. It was much easier and easier than going out to kill and absorb. As long as the little mute was building the foundation, there would be an endless supply of these attracted black shadows.
.
Just like that, time passes.
As the night passed, Xu Qing felt extremely happy. In one night, his perfect method of suppressing souls increased from sixty-two to seventy-three.
Such speed made Xu Qing quite satisfied when he looked at the little mute.
Especially since the little mute's tide has not ended yet, and it looks like it will continue for several days. Xu Qing weighs in his heart, and he feels that there is a high probability that he can suppress the souls of all the 120 orifices this time.
Even occasionally, Xu Qing would encounter that kind of great terror. The great terror reflected in his eyes the back of Ghost Emperor Mountain. He could see very clearly that it was a giant figure that was much larger than the black shadow he suppressed.
Dark shadow.
Its form is not a mist, but a variety of strange shapes. For example, what appears in Xu Qing's perception at this moment is a huge black fish.
The figure of this fish was hundreds of feet long. After being attracted, it wandered around in a circle. Finally, it seemed that it couldn't bear it anymore and it suddenly approached. The moment it approached, Xu Qing took a step forward and appeared in front of the little mute.
Next to him, he raised his right hand and pressed it suddenly.
The black fish was shocked. It wanted to retreat but it was too late. The burst of dark soul fire was like a huge net, which directly enveloped the big fish. It shrank suddenly, and suddenly the cold soul power surged along the fire.
Enter Xu Qing's body.
It was suppressed in the seventy-fourth Dharma Aperture, making this Dharma Aperture perfect.
Xu Qing was satisfied, sat down cross-legged, and continued to wait.
This time, the little mute's foundation building was already halfway through, so it didn't last too long. His tide time was only seven days.
Even so, it was enough for Xu Qingyu. After all, in the perception of those dark shadows, the little mute was like a bright light in the dark night, full of attraction.
So soon, Xu Qing had more than 80 perfect Dharma Apertures, and then more than 90. On the sixth day, he successfully suppressed the soul of all 120 Dharma Apertures in his body!
But Xu Qing was not finished, because the soul suppressed in the orifice could be replaced by a better soul, so Xu Qing continued on the seventh day and successfully replaced the three big black shadows into the body.
And then, as the little mute's tide sensing orifice ended, he began to truly start building the foundation, and those black shadows completely dissipated and never came again.
Although Xu Qing was regretful, she was more satisfied.
As for the little mute, on the ninth day of the slightly rainy night, he opened his eyes. A magic orifice opened in his body emitted magic power fluctuations, and he successfully stepped into the foundation!
After feeling the cultivation, the little mute excitedly knelt down to Xu Qing and kowtowed again.
Xu Qing glanced at the little mute and spoke calmly.
"You can learn to swallow souls with evil fire, and you must open a life fire as soon as possible, because... without a foundation building in the Xuan Yao state, it is just a free-roaming chicken."
"Only when the first ball of life fire is formed and the Xuan Yao state is activated, can one be considered a true foundation-building monk."
The little mute made a loud bang and kowtowed heavily, his eyes showing determination.
At the same time, outside the Eight Sects Alliance, in the not-so-distant Taisi Due Mountain forest, next to a lonely grave, under the cool rain of the dark night, there were two figures walking slowly from the grave in the rain.
The surroundings were quiet, without any sound, as if no one dared to make a sound due to their arrival, except for the sound of the rain, which was slightly cool and looming.
The two figures were both wearing pitch black robes, covering their heads, only revealing... the masks that looked like the broken faces of gods.
The mask gave off a frightening and unsettling aura, permeating all directions, distorting the void wherever the two figures passed.
Seen from a distance, they looked like gods walking in the world on a rainy night.
All the beings encountered on the way, no matter what their cultivation level, are unable to perceive or see them clearly due to their different levels of life.
These two people are none other than Zhuzhao's Night Dove and his master.
"The Eight Sects Alliance is coming soon. The person who invited us to watch the performance, are you ready?" A young man's voice came out from under the mask of the man in black walking in front.
