Outside of Time

The night is dark and windy, and the moon is cold.

The dense night was like a hand representing death, holding a pen in the book of life and death, coating everything with a haze like ink, so the solemn night formed a picture of death.

All gray and black.

Only the wanted criminal was nailed to the wall, and the drops of bright red blood falling from the wound on his neck became the most shocking color in this gray and black world.

Until, as the gentle footsteps echoed, a gray figure slowly walked into the painting, replacing the dazzling blood and becoming the strongest cold outside the Banquan Road Inn.

The cold seemed to freeze the dripping blood for a moment, and even made the old man at the door of the inn shrink his eyes as he looked at the approaching figure.

He has black hair shawl, a slender figure with an upright look, cold eyes and an angular face, like a blade being slowly unsheathed.

It was Xu Qing.

He looked calm, and under the gaze of the old man on Banquan Road, he walked step by step to the corpse, took off the other party's leather bag, and pulled out the dagger with an expressionless expression. His head flew up and was caught by him. When the corpse fell, He kicked his right foot slightly.

Immediately, the body fell directly at the old man's feet.

The old man's face was gloomy, but there was a sound of wind behind him, and the head of the big snake roared out. The moment it saw Xu Qing, its eyes clearly shined.

"Gulu gulu."

"Please eat." Xu Qing glanced at the big snake and said calmly.

The big snake was very happy, swallowed it in one gulp, and nodded at Xu Qing.

"Xu Qing, don't go too far!" The old man from Banquan Road stared at Xu Qing and said coldly.

Xu Qing looked at the old man, but suddenly waved his right hand, and suddenly the dagger in his hand shot out into the distance, breaking the wind, and a whistling and sharp sound came out, replacing the scream, and nailed another person who was facing here. The forehead of the wanted criminal who was speeding towards me.

The huge force caused the man's skull to shatter, and red and white were scattered at the same time. His body was also pushed back two feet by the impact, and landed heavily on the ground with a bang.

This scene made the old man's eyebrows beat. He felt that the Xu Qing in front of him seemed to be even more powerful than when he was on Haili Island before, and he suddenly felt worried in his heart.

"What on earth are you going to do!" The old man glared at Xu Qing, veins bulging on his face. A sense of danger emerged on him, and ropes came out of the air and hung down around him.

But the moment they appeared, a fiery force burst out from Xu Qing's body, forming a high temperature and sweeping across the surroundings. Suddenly, the ropes bent one after another, and they did not dare to get close.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from not far away.

That was the third wanted criminal who came here. Just by getting close to this place, he was covered in black and black and died of poisoning.

Xu Qing ignored the dead wanted criminal and looked at the old man's neck, weighing whether he could kill him or not. His breath gradually became colder.

The old man stared at Xu Qing, depressed in his heart. He naturally knew the purpose of the other party's coming here, but he was really distressed for sending thousands of spirit stones, so he just talked and asked. He planned to use the reason that he had given it to the pocket to avoid giving away the spirit stones. .

But Xu Qing didn't say a word, which made him understand that it was useless to speak, especially at this moment, the aura on the other person's body had murderous intent, which made the old man's heart thump, and a life-and-death crisis emerged strongly.

"Xu Qing, don't be impulsive. I have a trump card!! The trump card is this inn. It just looks like an inn, but it is actually weird. It is sleeping now. Once it wakes up, the first peak of the Seven Blood Pupils will come to suppress it. When the time comes, You’re done too!”

The old man spoke very fast, and after he finished speaking, the whole inn shook violently, and a terrifying wave spread out from every table, chair, and all the bricks and tiles in the inn, as if the inn had become strange at this moment and was about to wake up.

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, the sense of crisis was extremely strong at this moment, and he took a few steps back.

As for the big snake, it was lying in the distance from beginning to end, watching curiously, without helping anyone. It seemed that the two of them could not fight, and there would be no danger of life and death. It was aware of the changes in the inn, but There seemed to be some sense of intimacy in his expression, and he rubbed his head on the ground, as if to say hello to the inn.

However, after noticing that Xu Qing was looking at him, it quickly made a purring sound and kept nodding its head, as if to remind Xu Qing that what the old man said was right.

"Xu Qing, I am not a human race, and this inn is not a simple inn. It is a kind of weirdness, and my tribe has the ability to make weirdness sleep."

"So I came to Seven Blood Pupils many years ago with it sleeping, ready to sell it to the First Peak, but the First Peak didn't give me the money immediately and asked me to keep it for them for ten weird years before paying. There was no way, they promised The offer was too much, so I agreed, but I’m also poor and I also want to practice.”

"In addition, Huang Yan and I are good friends. I saved Zhang San's life. The captain of the Sixth Team and I are life and death friends. Xu Qing, don't be impulsive. We can also become good friends. The wanted criminal clue I gave you before is To be honest, I didn’t mean to harm you.”

Xu Qing's face was gloomy. He looked at the old man who explained quickly, and then looked at the inn. In the night, the inn seemed to have turned into a huge mouth in his eyes, capable of swallowing everything.

He knew that this old man was not simple and must have a way to save his life, so he never took action before, but he still didn't expect that his trump card was actually the inn itself!

Xu Qing didn't believe the other party's words about selling to the First Peak.

But the feeling just now was very real, and Xu Qing felt that it was not worth the risk to kill him.

He was vigilant and decided not to take action at this moment. He planned to observe this place for a while longer, so he glanced at the old man, restrained his murderous intent, and spoke calmly.

"Give me the spirit stone!"

Sensing that Xu Qing's murderous intention was gone, the old man quickly took out three spiritual tickets from his arms, totaling three thousand. With a flick, the three spiritual tickets went straight to Xu Qing. Xu Qing caught them and checked them, and then cut them off. He held the head of the corpse in his hand and turned around to leave without any hesitation.

From beginning to end, he only said two sentences.

At this moment, looking at Xu Qing's retreating figure, the big snake quickly stuck out its head and started to purr, with a sound that seemed to have some joy in it.

Xu Qing didn't look back and slowly walked away.

"Stop screaming, you white-eyed snake. Our spiritual stones are gone. Instead of feeling distressed, you turned to him. He really wanted to kill me just now. This inn almost woke up!" The old man was filled with grief and anger, and hurriedly turned to him. Take out the detoxification pill and eat it.

"Gulu!"

"You actually said I deserved it..." Hearing this, the old man became even more sad and angry. He tossed his sleeves and sat there smoking the pipe fiercely. Deep down in his heart, he was a little frightened by the murderous intention he felt just now.

"The evil spirit on this boy's body has become even stronger. I don't know what's going on with Sea Lizard Island. I need to go find out!"

In the dark night, Xu Qing walked forward silently, and the scene at the previous inn came to mind. The strangeness of this world made him unable to determine whether what the other party said was true or false, but the danger emanating from the inn felt very real.

So after walking a long way, Xu Qing looked back at Banquan Road in the distance. He looked away for a while and completely put away his murderous intention.

Because Fazhou had not been promoted, Xu Qing decided to go to the Crime Hunting Department. On the one hand, he canceled his leave, and on the other hand, he planned to stay for one night. In the Crime Hunting Department, Xu Qing saw the captain who had just finished his work and was about to leave.

The captain walked out while eating the apple. When he saw Xu Qing and the three heads in his hand, he narrowed his eyes, smiled, and threw an apple.

"You are so hard-working, and you went to arrest people as soon as you came back. Didn't you gain a lot from this trip?"

Xu Qing caught it, then took out a spiritual ticket containing one hundred spiritual stones and handed it over.

"The harvest is acceptable."

"I heard that there is an island near the Western Coral Islands, and many people died there. You won't go there, right?" The captain took the soul ticket and was very happy. He simply squatted on a stone chair aside with a look on his face. asked with interest.

Xu Qing glanced at the captain and shook his head.

The captain ate the apple, smiled, and did not continue the topic, but spoke in a low and mysterious voice.

"Let me tell you something earth-shattering. After you left, we had a big case here, which aroused heated discussion among many disciples in the city. It was so tragic. He died tragically."

When the captain said this, he looked at Xu Qing, as if waiting for Xu Qing to ask.

Xu Qing also looked at the captain and said nothing.

After a while, the captain sighed.

"Xu Qing, when others speak to you in this tone, you should show curiosity, so that others will not feel embarrassed and can continue talking. This is polite."

Xu Qing was thoughtful, with a look of curiosity on his face.

The captain felt comfortable now. After looking around, he whispered.

"The captain of the third team on the ground, that fish, was killed."

"This matter needs to be investigated by the Murder Department. Is it a foreigner? It's just a thought, but the other party still has defenders, especially his two sisters, who are looking for the murderer like crazy..."

"This world is so chaotic. How can a young master who is such an ally die so easily? This is a big deal. If I don't talk about it, Junior Brother Xu, I'm going to go on a night patrol."

Having said this, the captain stood up, patted his clothes, jumped off the stone chair and walked out, but when he passed Xu Qing, he spoke softly.

"The Mermaid Clan and Seven Blood Eyes are allies, so we let them search for it. I heard... the Mermaid Clan has a technique that allows the two sisters to sense the traces of the murderer. They searched for more than a month and checked all the people related to the murderer. The person who has something to do with that fish should be found soon.”

"Everyone is watching, this is very interesting." The captain glanced at Xu Qing with a half-smile, and left the murder department without saying anything more.

Xu Qing stood there and pondered for a while.

After a while, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he turned around and handed over the heads of three wanted criminals, exchanged the rewards, and meditated all night in the murder department.

Early the next morning, Xu Qing left the murder department and walked on the street as usual. When passing by a candied haws stall, he bought a bunch and ate a few bites. Then he walked into an alley and stopped.

Soon, a woman walked quickly behind him and knelt down behind Xu Qing.

"Owner."

This woman had a graceful figure and looked very tempting. She was his original informant. Later, Xu Qing didn't need any clues, so he didn't summon her.

"Is there anything big going on recently?" Xu Qing turned around, looked at the woman in front of him calmly, and asked while eating candied haws.

Looking at Xu Qing's candied haws, the woman's heart trembled, but soon her eyes became wild again.

"There are two things that everyone has been talking about the most recently. One is that the Seventh Peak disciples' competition once every thirty years is approaching. Every Seventh Peak competition will be bloody. It is said that the location chosen last time was the mermaid tribe. The clan island was full of blood, and later became an ally of Seven Blood Eyes."

"The second thing is also related to the mermaid clan. The young leader of the clan died, and his two sisters searched the port for more than a month..."

Many of the news in the port are often best understood by the people of the three religions and nine schools. After becoming Xu Qing's informant, the woman has obviously focused on detecting the news, so what she said at this moment made Xu Qing very satisfied. He thought about it. I thought and asked.

"Any more?"

The informant thought for a moment and then said.

"It's nothing serious. By the way, there was a small sect that moved out of the Seven Blood Pupils some time ago. This kind of thing is rare. It seems to be a sect called Jin."

"Vajra Sect?" Xu Qing's eyes narrowed and he spoke slowly.

"Yes, this is the Vajra Sect." The informant nodded.

Xu Qing pondered, and after a moment gave the other party five spiritual stones, turned around and left.

Five spirit stones were already a huge sum of money for a woman. She was breathing rapidly and became even more enthusiastic when she looked at Xu Qing's back.

After leaving the alley, Xu Qing walked on the street, thinking about the relocation of the Vajra Sect.

"Leaving?" Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and thought about the mermaid clan again. From the mouths of the captain and his informant, he confirmed the authenticity of the matter, and at this moment, the murderous intention in his heart slowly emerged.

"These two things are hidden dangers."

Xu Qing whispered in his heart, but did not show any murderous intent on his face, and ended his day's duty calmly. During the period, he also went to the Haizhi Museum to report the matter of the giant dragon chariot.

According to the rules of Haizhiguan, after unrecorded information is reported, if it is confirmed to be true, there will be a reward, but it will take time to confirm, so Xu Qing left after reporting it and arrived at Zhang San's Transportation Department at dusk.

There, he saw Zhang San with a tired but crazy face.

"Junior Brother Xu, this time your Dharma Ark is Zhang San's most satisfying work so far!" Zhang San took Xu Qing to the warehouse and pushed the door open.

As the door opened, an astonishing Dharma boat came directly into Xu Qing's eyes.

The hundred-foot-long hull was filled with sea lizard skin. As the black light circulated, a breath of Qi-Condensing Great Perfection rushed towards the face. The degree of its protection was visible to the naked eye.

The original structure has not changed, but two huge curved corners have been added, spreading out from both sides of the hull. It is extremely ferocious and at the same time, the fierce meaning emanating from it makes even Xu Qing's eyes widen after feeling it. Shrink.

What is even more astonishing is that the eight sails that were once there are now more than twice as big, and their structure has also changed. They are dark in color, like the wings of a ferocious beast.

Not only that, the inside of the hull is covered with foundation-building sea lizard skins, which makes this Dharma ark stronger than it appears from the outside. In this way, it can be confusing, and it can be used at critical moments. Determine life and death.

"As for the divinity, I have extracted it for you and integrated it into the eight sails of your ark. Once opened, your ark will have the power to fly and dive into the sea."

"The most important thing is that I have connected the divinity to your entire hull, and with the help of its activity, your boat has a certain self-healing ability. This is extremely precious among the attributes of the entire Seven Blood Eyes boat. !”

"In addition, this divinity can also be stimulated and turned into a shocking blow, which is extremely powerful. It is hard to say whether the foundation can resist it, but there is a high probability that even if it resists, it will be seriously injured, but I don't recommend you do this. It is too wasteful. , the divinity will be completely consumed after a few times, and once the divinity is gone, the performance of your boat will be greatly reduced. "

"It can be said that although your Dharma Ark has not been promoted to the level of a foundation-building ship, it is no worse than an ordinary foundation-building ship. As long as you fill in a foundation-building core, it will be a real foundation-building ship. Boat, and extraordinary!”

"So, don't put it in the foundation-building core easily. If you want to put it in, put the heart of the best ferocious beast. If you can have the heart of a divine creature... then your ark, and a foundation-building divine creature, There’s not much difference!”

"But I know that your personality doesn't like to be ostentatious, so I arranged a cover for you to make your boat look the same as before. When you need it, you can change it at any time!" Zhang San looked enthusiastic. He looked at Fazhou and introduced it to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing also took a breath, looking at the behemoth in front of him, his heart was filled with shock.

After a long while, when he left the Transportation Department and returned to Port 79, Xu Qing's mood was still agitated.

At this moment, in the main city of Seven Blood Eyes, there are five figures, two in front and three in back, taking advantage of the night to gallop.

The three in the back seemed to be followers, and the two in front were women. They all had a sharp look in their eyes. These two were the sisters of the mermaid boy and the concubines of the second senior brother.

The younger sister has a murderous look on her face, while the older sister has a strange look in her eyes. Their needs are different, but their purpose is the same.

"We have been searching for more than a month, and we have found all the people who had conflicts with Adi and eliminated them one by one. Only this person was not investigated because he was at sea!"

"It doesn't matter, as long as we take a closer look, we can detect through the blood whether this child is the murderer!"

"If it is really this child, I will skin him, make him come to this world in pain, eat his flesh alive every day, let him die miserably, take out his soul, and put it into a mermaid lamp to burn for this life!" My sister gritted her teeth and looked at her. The hatred is extremely strong.

At this moment, the wind is blowing at night, and it seems that Shura is trying to take his life!
