The power of the gods is unpredictable and extraordinary.
This trip with the Mud Fox made Xu Qing feel this point more deeply, and at the same time, he also had a deeper understanding of the gods.
"There is no good or evil in gods."
"Everything depends on preference."
Xu Qing murmured, carefully recalling the gods he had seen in his life, all of them were like this, without exception.
"For example, the questions I'm thinking about right now are actually like ants thinking about my behavior. Their thoughts and actions cannot be fathomed."
"Only when divinity controls animal nature and humanity dissipates can I have the same way of thinking as them."
Xu Qing was in mid-air, speeding towards the desert. Recalling this experience, he couldn't help but look back at the canyon in the distance.
"Yanyue Xuantian Clan..."
Xu Qing was silent, turning his head quickly, roaring in the world.
Time flies and several days pass by.
The wind and sand swept in front of Xu Qing, and the gray wind blocked all outsiders from entering, but for the cultivation of the desert, this would not have an impact.
Xu Qing didn't know if it was an illusion. This time he returned to walk in the wind and sand, and felt that the storm seemed to be more different to him.
"This storm was transformed by the hair of the Moon Flame God, and I just saw him before..."
Xu Qing was thoughtful. After a while, his body paused in the storm, and he tentatively raised his right hand and waved forward slightly.
"Disperse."
The storm is as usual, nothing has changed.
Xu Qing silently put away his palms and continued to move forward.
But not long after he moved forward, the storm around him suddenly shook and dispersed in front of him, revealing a huge gap like a canyon.
The storms on both sides of this gap are like walls, connecting the sky and the earth. Only this hundred-foot gap is empty.
Xu Qing's eyes flashed brightly, he cupped his fists towards the storm and galloped quickly.
Not long after, the Kusheng Mountains were in sight.
Looking at the familiar mountains and earthen city, Xu Qing felt calm in his heart. In a flash, he disappeared in the air and appeared in the back room of the medicine shop. The moment he walked out, Ling'er, who was absentmindedly settling accounts, quickly raised his head.
"Brother Xu Qing!"
Ling'er was very fast, threw away her beloved account book, and came straight to Xu Qing. Her little face was full of happiness, and she couldn't see anything unusual, and she hugged Xu Qing.
"Brother Xu Qing, why did you go? Why didn't you tell me this time? I'm very worried..."
After burying her head in Xu Qing's arms, Ling'er said this, but her nose sniffed a few times, as if she was investigating.
Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu also glanced over quickly, looking like they were watching the fun.
Over there, You Jing was boiling water and snorting coldly.
"Man, haha."
Xu Qing looked at the prince who was drinking tea.
Prince, nothing happened.
But Xu Qing understood that it was the prince who must have told Ling'er about finding the mud fox.
But Xu Qing didn't mind this. He raised his hand and took out a storage bag and handed it to Ling'er.
"I went to find the clay figurine we saw last time, took care of the senior brother's affairs, and brought this thing to you."
Xu Qing spoke softly.
Ling'er instinctively took it, his face full of suspicion, and his eyes suddenly lit up after opening it.
"Ancient Spiritual Bone Pill!"
Xu Qing smiled and rubbed Ling'er's head.
"Go and practice quickly. This thing will be of great help to you in breaking through the realm."
"Thank you, Brother Xu Qing. Brother Xu Qing is so kind." Ling'er was extremely happy and felt happy in her heart. She felt that Brother Xu Qing was the best to her. It turned out that this time she went out to help her get this treasure.
Thinking of this, she felt that the behavior she had just suspected was a bit bad, so she felt a little guilty and spoke quickly.
"Brother Xu Qing, I haven't shown off my cooking skills for a long time. I'm going to cook some dishes for you today."
Xu Qing wanted to refuse, but after looking at the prince, he nodded with a smile.
Ling'er became even happier. She took the bone pill and ran to the kitchen to start preparing the food.
Xu Qing sat in front of the prince and spoke softly.
"Senior, he is the Star Flame High God of the Yanyue Xuantian Clan."
The prince nodded slightly when he heard this and put down the tea cup.
"What is His purpose?"
"It's the same as the Yanyue God, and there is an extra mud door in the place of the God-Slaying Platform." Xu Qing said calmly.
The prince's eyes narrowed, and after thinking for a while, a smile appeared on his face.
"Interesting, in this Moon Festival domain, countless hidden threads are being ignited one by one... Boy, your senior brother is not simple, but you are even less simple."
"It's all my master's arrangement." Xu Qing shook his head, with a look of longing on his face.
The prince hesitated. According to the information he knew, he had never believed what Xu Qing said about his master. But on the one hand, Xu Qing's understanding allowed him to resonate with the other master. After feeling the same, he looked at the other two.
What a disciple does.
All this made him unable to help but have more guesses about Xu Qing's master, which he could not easily define.
At the same time, the sound of cooking came from the direction of the kitchen, and waves of aroma wafted out. Ning Yan's nose twitched and his eyes lit up.
Wu Jianwu at the door also took a deep breath and showed surprise.
"Crackling, three-foot flow, who can ask for the eight delicacies and jade food!"
Even the prince glanced at the kitchen and nodded slightly.
"This little girl, I didn't expect to be so good at cooking."
"By the way, I have to go out in a few days. You came back in time this time. And give me the control jade slip you had last time."
Hearing this, Xu Qing nodded seriously and handed the jade slip that controlled the chicken to the prince.
The prince took it, wiped it on, and gave it back to Xu Qing.
"This jade slip can not only control the chickens in the backyard, but also has Mo rules and restrictions on ghost spirits. You can decide what to do."
When You Jing heard this, his face turned dark and he said nothing.
Xu Qing picked up the jade slip and put it away. He knew that this was because the prince was worried about the safety of the medicine shop during his absence, so he left it behind as a back-up.
With this jade slip, we can basically ensure that the medicine shop will be safe during this period.
"Senior, is this trip related to Grandpa Ninth?" Xu Qing thought for a while and asked.
The prince nodded.
"It's almost time to help him unlock the seal. You don't need to participate this time. We can solve it ourselves."
Just as he was talking, Linger walked out of the kitchen with two dishes in his hands. After placing them on the table, he rushed into the kitchen and went back and forth several times, cooking eight dishes.
Ling'er's cooking skills have obviously improved. These eight dishes look delicious, delicious, and Xu Qing is also a little surprised.
"Grandpa Shizi, brother Xu Qing, sister Youjing, come and have a taste." After finishing their work, Ling'er stood aside expectantly and greeted everyone.
Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu came uninvited and sat aside. You Jing also put down what he was doing, looked at the dishes, and nodded with a smile.
The prince looked forward to it as well, picked up a piece and put it into his mouth, his eyes slowly narrowed, then he took a deep look at Xu Qing and nodded.
"good."
You Jing and Ning Yan also quickly picked them up. After each entrance, Wu Jianwu's eyes widened, Ning Yan's face turned red, You Jing was silent, and they all looked at Xu Qing.
When Ling'er was a little nervous, Xu Qing took a few mouthfuls with a normal expression and spoke.
"If it tastes good, eat more."
Ning Yan swallowed hard and forced a smile.
"tasty!"
Wu Jianwu instinctively wanted to refuse, but after looking at Xu Qing and then at the prince, he still put some more vegetables in. As for You Jing, she ate in silence.
In this way, the dinner was quickly eaten by everyone, which made Ling'er extremely satisfied. She felt that her cooking skills had greatly improved, and her talent in cooking clearly surpassed her cultivation.
"We can open another restaurant in the future!"
Linger's thoughts arose in her mind.
Time passed and three days passed.
The prince left, and the day before he left, Tian Nanzi from Niyue Palace also came to say goodbye.
The war in the outside world has reached a fever pitch. Many forces in the Niyue Palace are retreating steadily. Among them, the army of the Second Palace Master is in a precarious position and has suffered heavy casualties.
Therefore, Tian Nanzi, as the master of the fourth hall, planned to take people out to reinforce the master of the second hall.
Even though he was relatively safe in the Kusheng Mountains, Tian Nanzi could not sit back and watch the misery of the outside world.
"I am the Fourth Hall Master of the Niyue Palace. I have my creed and responsibility to resist the Red Moon and protect my homeland. I cannot and do not want to avoid this matter."
"Someone needs to stand up... I'm an old man, so what's the point of regretting my life at this time?"
"If I can't come back, my shattered soul will be with Niyue Palace!"
When Tian Nanzi said these words, his expression was filled with determination, and his vicissitudes of life also revealed his calmness towards death.
After saying goodbye, Xu Qing stared at his leaving figure, and vaguely, the figure of the old palace master of the Sword Holding Palace appeared in his heart again.
"They are all the same kind of people."
The red moon is closer.
The color of the sky became more and more intense, and the entire Moon Festival area was filled with blood.
This is especially the case near the bank of the Siyin River. Looking at it, you can see that the long river, which was originally blood-colored, is now extremely red, and the smell of blood and rot is extremely strong.
During this period of time, ships from the outer realms rarely appeared. After all, the merchants and traders from outside knew that the Moon Sacrifice Spirit Circle was about to be harvested by the gods.
But at this moment, on this roiling long river, a tattered boat gradually appeared in the distance. The direction it came from was the area where the Shenglan tribe was located.
After a short time, the boat became clearer and clearer. It could be seen that there were many repairs on it, and it seemed that it could collapse at any time. It was speeding towards the shore, breaking through the river surface, swaying, and finally landing on the shore.
A figure quickly rushed out from inside, and the moment it stepped onto the bank of the bloody river, the boat could not support itself, collapsed suddenly, and sank under the river water.
The figure looked back, sighed, and then stamped his foot hard.
"You little thief, you kidnapped my Ling'er for so long and haven't come back. It turns out that he is in such a ungrateful place!"
"My Ling'er must not have enough to eat or sleep well, and is suffering from hunger and cold. She is frightened by him every day, and faces life and death crises all the time. Maybe she is still being hunted, and she doesn't even have anyone to protect her. She shouldn't be called every day.
"
"That oily-headed, pink-faced Xu Xiaothief looks unreliable at first glance!"
"You little thief, just wait for me, I will go find you!"
The red skylight fell on this figure, revealing its vicissitudes of life. This person was the old man of the inn.
After he complained, his face was full of exhaustion, he looked up at the distant world and sighed.
"Where can I find such a large domain?"

I am currently able to sit and type with half my butt raised, and I will try my best to return to the normal two-chapter update every day, but I hope you will forgive me if I am not thoughtful enough.
