Xu Qing was still in the air, returning to Jiange. He was alert all the way and naturally noticed Qingqiu.
But he guessed the reason, so a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he ran straight to the ground without stopping.
Qingqiu also guessed the reason at this moment, but the evil ghost in her heart was still screaming, which made her even more irritable and shouted at the evil ghost in her heart.
"If you are nagging, I will die with you."
The evil ghost stopped talking instantly.
In this way, Qingqiu and Xu Qing landed on the outermost sword pavilion of the earth one after another. They were thousands of feet away from each other, and their eyes touched each other again. Then they both frowned and stepped into their respective sword pavilions.
Their sword pavilions are next to each other.
This cannot be said to be too coincidental. After all, there are a total of fifty-one new sword holders this time, and the sword pavilions are being built at the same time. It is natural for them to be close to each other.
Of course, the point is that Xu Qing's personality doesn't like excitement, so he didn't build the sword pavilion in the first few days, but only erected the sword pavilion yesterday.
As for Qingqiu, who is also withdrawn, the possibility of them becoming neighbors naturally increases.
But to Xu Qing, this was just a trivial matter. When he returned to the sword pavilion, he first checked his surroundings to make sure there was no problem, then sat down cross-legged and began to study the imperial sword he had learned.
The Imperial Sword in the Sea of Consciousness is a little different from the time when I just realized the success. At this moment, its light is no longer bright, but after it has a foundation, it reveals a heavy meaning.
There was also a hint of sword energy.
The sword energy is not scattered in disorder, but surrounds the Imperial Sword, like threads, forming circles after circles.
Eleven laps in total.
Xu Qing noticed that the twelfth circle also existed, but only half of it.
Obviously as time goes by, it won't take too long to be complete.
"This is the essence of the Imperial Sword."
Xu Qing calculated the time, and if he calculated one day according to his own understanding of success, he should be able to form more than a hundred circles of sword energy every day.
The more sword energy there is, the more powerful the sword is.
"Thirty to forty thousand circles can be formed in one year, three to four hundred thousand circles in ten years, and a hundred years later..." Xu Qing made an estimate in his heart and felt that it was too far away.
"But even if it hasn't been cultivated for that long, if this imperial sword is deployed normally, it should still be very sharp."
Xu Qing felt the edge of the Emperor's Sword of Knowledge, and suddenly thought of Kong Xianglong's imperial-level technique he had seen transforming into a golden dragon.
At that time, the golden dragon held the Emperor Sword in its mouth.
Xu Qing was deep in thought, and the totem behind him was immediately activated. The light in the sword pavilion was bright, and the figure of the golden bird appeared from behind him and flew around.
When bursts of burning phoenix feathers were falling, Xu Qing pulled the imperial sword in the sea of consciousness, causing it to gradually rise from the heavenly spirit above his head.
After it fully appeared, the Golden Crow let out a cheerful neigh, flew over suddenly, opened its mouth and directly took the Emperor's Sword in his mouth. Then his whole body was shaken, and his body seemed to be changed, and the meaning of the sword appeared.
Those tails are even more like this, and they also have the feeling of sword energy contained in them when flying.
The power is also much stronger.
"It turns out that emperor-level skills can be integrated with each other in this way..." Xu Qing was thoughtful, but he felt that it was more that the imperial sword itself contained certain characteristics.
Xu Qing did some research and was not sure of his guess, but after sensing that the Golden Crow was sharper and that the Imperial Sword Yunyan was not affected, he took back his thoughts, took out the Su Dan bought from the drug store, and continued to study.
Time passed, and soon the heavy rain fell outside. In the sound of rain, Xu Qing's research on Sudan became more and more thorough.
He analyzed several prime elixirs and finally figured out the method of refining this elixir.
"The technique is very subtle, but that's not the key. The reason why this elixir has so much power to dissipate foreign matter is that there are some extremely strange herbs in it."
Xu Qing couldn't tell what it was, and this reminded him of Lord Jun Cheng's saying that all things change according to circumstances. Obviously, the unknown herbs inside were transformed by Lord Jun Cheng's method.
Xu Qing took one out and put it in his mouth and swallowed it. After feeling it carefully again, he was sure that the elixir was extremely effective and admired it in his heart. However, he vaguely felt that there were some flaws in the elixir and it was not perfect.
But he was powerless to change it. To some extent, this elixir was already a pioneer in the way of medicine.
While I was sighing, the sky was bright and dim outside, the rain was still falling, and it looked a little dark. It was obviously early morning, but there was a hint of twilight.
Xu Qing looked up, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, got up and walked out of the sword pavilion, and went to the Prison Department in the rain.
In the rain, as he approached the Prison Department, Xu Qing thought of his two accidents, and his eyes filled with fierceness!
"Today, we must find out Ding Yisan Er's secret. If not... we will kill all Ding Yisan Er's prisoners!"
In the rain, Xu Qing walked on the splashing ground, stepped on puddles, stepped into the invisible barrier of the Prison Department, and walked into the Prison Department.
Although it is raining heavily outside, it cannot penetrate the barrier and cannot fall into the prison, but it still gives people a feeling of dampness.
In the dampness, Xu Qing looked calm and walked down the steps in circles.
On the way, he saw several jailers he had met before. After greeting each other, Xu Qing did not go to Ding 1, 3 and 2 immediately.
He went to the cell on the 35th floor and found Lao Li there who was disposing of a prisoner's body.
Lao Li was the middle-aged jailer who led the way and introduced Xu Qing to the Prison Department on his first day.
"Senior, I have something to ask." Seeing Lao Li, Xu Qing cupped his fists and bowed.
Lao Li was also willing to make friends with newcomers like Xu Qing, so he threw the corpse in his hand towards the deep pit outside the steps and turned to look at Xu Qing with a smile.
"What's up"
Xu Qing pondered for a while and asked about the guards in Ding 1, 3 and 2 who did not die violently, and whether any of them were still in the Prison Department.
"have"
Lao Li recalled it and nodded.
"The Ding Yi San Er evil sect, I remember Chen Boli was the last guard a hundred years ago. He changed cells after three years and is now on the seventy-seventh floor."
"However, since Chen Boli became the guard of Ding Yisaner, his personality has become weird. He is not willing to communicate with others on weekdays. If you want to find him, you need to get something. Xu Qing, do you have anything harder that can be used to sharpen the knife?"
Xu Qing rummaged through his storage bag and found the table and chairs he had harvested in the Phantom Lord's Cave. He felt that this one was hard enough, so he nodded.
"That's easy, I'll take you there."
Lao Li smiled and took Xu Qing to the seventy-seventh floor, where he found an old man with a pockmarked face.
The old man was squatting in a corner, with walls behind him and on both sides. It seemed that this could make him feel safe, and he looked a bit ferocious in the darkness.
At this moment, he was sharpening the knife vigorously.
As the blade is rubbed back and forth on the grindstone, the harsh sound echoes around and reaches the mind, making people feel uncomfortable.
After noticing the arrival of Xu Qing and the others, the old man raised his head and glanced gloomily, as if he would not let strangers in.
"Brother Chen, this is Xu Qing, the newcomer, Ding Yisaner's new guard. He has something to ask about." After Lao Li introduced him, he said hello to Xu Qing and left. It seemed that he didn't want to stay here for a long time.
.
The old knife-sharpening man said nothing, still gloomy, his eyes moved away from Old Li's back and fell on Xu Qing.
Xu Qing cupped his fists and bowed, then took out Youjing's desk and chair from the storage bag and put them aside.
"Senior, these items are very hard."
He could feel that the old man's cultivation was not simple.
The old man glanced at the table and chairs, raised his right hand to grab one, touched it, and then wiped the knife on it with a satisfied look on his face.
"How to avoid accidental death?"
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed. Through the other party's words, he felt that his previous judgment was correct, so he cupped his fists and bowed.
"Please ask seniors to clarify my doubts.
"You have already felt the bad luck." The old man looked at Xu Qing carefully and asked.
Xu Qing nodded.
The old man's expression moved slightly and he put the knife in his hand aside.
"It seems that the unknown accumulated in Ding Yi San Er has become extremely strong, and it actually reacted on you so quickly."
"Actually, it is very simple to avoid accidental death. As long as you don't leave the Prison Department, or you are lucky enough, I am not the latter, so I never left the Prison Department during my tenure. This is what the previous guard told me.
mine."
The old man looked at Xu Qing as if he were looking at a dead person.
"You have to be careful. Generally, people with unknown bad luck will not survive more than a month."
Xu Qing was silent, then slowly spoke after a while.
"Senior, are the unknowns you are talking about the prisoners from Ding 1, 3 and 2 districts? Is there something special about them? But this is the Ding district of the prison. If these prisoners really have such ability, they should be detained in a deeper
That’s the right cell.”
The old man nodded and shook his head.
"The prisoners of Ding 132 are not unique in themselves, but they managed to survive after being locked up inside, so they became unknown. Of course, this is my judgment. I feel that they have become a part of the unknown."
"As for the real unknown, it may be Ding Yisaner himself, or it may be a prisoner inside who is mainly a guest, but the palace master never paid attention to it, so I think the former is more likely."
'Did the head of 237 ask you to send it to Yun Beast's room?"
"Don't listen to him. Someone has tried it and it didn't work."
As the old man spoke, he began to comment on the prisoners in Ding 1, 3 and 2 for Xu Qing, each of whom was described in great detail.
"The thirteenth prisoner is the head. He does have some abilities, but not much. Don't listen to him talking for too long, otherwise he will be affected."
"The last Danqing tribe, the twenty-two figures in that painting are all part of it. This one has been imprisoned for the longest time, but he is also the quietest. I have never seen him go out during my tenure."
As soon as the old man said this, Xu Qing's eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Senior, in the paintings of the Danqing tribe, aren't there twenty-three paintings of four generations living under one roof?"
"Twenty-three, it's impossible, it's twenty-two." When the old man heard this, his eyes shrank.
Xu Qing was silent for a while, nodded, and asked for some more details, then took out some spiritual stones and put them aside, saying goodbye and leaving.
Looking at Xu Qing's back, the old man suddenly spoke.
"Xu Qing, all the guards who go to the Ding 1, 3 and 2 areas are the people valued by the palace master, and they are the test of his old man. I heard that in addition to many secrets, there is also a huge fortune hidden there. Unfortunately, I don't have it.
turn up."
"If you don't want to die unexpectedly, go to the ninth floor to register for a different cell. Every newcomer is eligible to change cells once."
"After the change, you will be fine, but there will be no traces of you on the list of guards that Ding 132 has guarded for generations."
"As for the secret of Ding 132, I once heard a guard say something, so I will give it to you."
"Just when you think you've discovered it all, there's actually more waiting for you."
