out of time

Chapter 72
In the sky at night, the moonlight is bright and clear, with a few idle clouds.

But outside the Sixth Peak cave, the Vajra Sect Patriarch standing with the moonlight behind his back looked a little dim.

In this darkness, the sadness on his face seemed to be a bit more intense.

In fact, he didn't really feel sorry for the lost property. The reason why he vomited blood at the beginning was the anger that the mountain gate was destroyed.

As for those spirit stones, they were just placed on the surface by him.

What he was really worried about was that the enemies would become more and more powerful in Qixuetong.

At this moment, anxious in his heart, he raised his head and looked at the cave in front of him. There was silence and no response.

After half a stick of incense passed, a sigh finally came from the cave.

"You Lingzi, long time no see."

The Taoist name of the ancestor of the Vajra Sect is You Lingzi, but these years, in the area where he is located, no matter whether it is inside or outside the sect, most people respect him as the ancestor, so his own Taoist name, Haven't heard from anyone for a long time.

After hearing this at this moment, the ancestor of the Vajra Sect had some memories in his expression, and he sighed softly.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

With the reverberation of the words, the closed stone door slowly rose amidst the rumbling sound, revealing the darkness inside, and in the darkness, a figure slowly walked out.

The figure's steps were a bit weird, and every step seemed to be rigid, until it was completely out, under the moonlight, it could be seen that it was an old man, wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, under the gray hair, was a serious and rigid face.

He walked in front of the Vajra Sect Patriarch and stopped. At this moment, the mountain wind blew up a corner of his robe, revealing his legs that were not flesh and blood...

Those legs were obviously made of the material of refining equipment, emitting a blue light, adding to the coldness under the moonlight.

"Since it's been a long time, why are you here today...?" The blue-shirted old man raised his head, looked at the clouds in the night sky, and said lightly.

He stood next to the Patriarch of the Vajra Sect, but it gave the impression that the Patriarch of the Vajra Sect was shorter than him.

The Patriarch of the Vajra Sect had a sad expression on his face. After a long silence, he still told about Xu Qing.

"A catastrophe happened at home... Before the little thief left, he ruthlessly robbed our sect's resources, and viciously set fire to burn my Vajra sect to extinction."

"If this son is just an ordinary person, that's fine, and I won't take it too seriously, but after I spent a lot of money to investigate and find out that he has joined the Seven Blood Eyes, it seems that he is gradually gaining a foothold here, which makes me panic all day long. Uneasy, thinking of those ancient books I have read over the years many times."

"According to the experience I gained from reading countless ancient books, I compared them and found that most of the people like this in the ancient books have unstoppable luck. I was confused at the time. It shouldn't be just myself and the two elders of the sect. I should do my best. With the power of the whole clan, it is better to kill it at any cost, or to turn it into a treasure and give it as an apology..."

"Oh, it's a pity that I missed the opportunity. According to my analysis, if I can't suppress him before he fully grows... then I will definitely die in the future!"

"I have a strong premonition that once this person rises up, he will surely bring blood and blood to your seven blood pupils, putting your clan in danger of extinction. It's written like this in ancient books, and I'm afraid it's just a casual sentence from this person, My Vajra Sect will be wiped out."

After the Vajra Sect patriarch finished speaking, he lowered his head bitterly.

The ancestor in blue shirt standing in front of him gradually became strange, looked at the ancestor of Vajra Sect, and shook his head after a while.

"You Lingzi, after so many years, you...why are you still talking like this? A small person, with great luck, can attract blood and blood for Seven Blood Eyes, and the danger of extinction? In a word Can you destroy your Vajra Sect? You can even imagine such a thing..."

"You don't understand, I believe in my own feelings..." the ancestor of the Vajra Sect sighed likewise.

Seeing the ancestor of the Vajra Sect like this, the old man in blue shook his head slightly. He didn't have a deep friendship with the other party, but had a few contacts many years ago.

"Which peak has this son entered?"

"Seventh Peak...according to my investigation with a lot of money, his name is Xu Qing, and he joined the Murder Division." The Patriarch of the Vajra Sect knew that he couldn't hide anything, so he said in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter what the division is, but the disciples at the bottom of the mountain of my sect, although they are raising Gu, let them kill each other and live like wolf cubs, but there are some rules of the sect that cannot be broken..."

Having said that, the blue-shirted old man sighed when he saw the pale face of the Vajra Sect patriarch.

"Forget it, I'll help you hit this child at most, let him spit out what he took from your Vajra Sect, if he doesn't have enough, let him use his whole body to make up for it."

After finishing speaking, he took out the jade slips, explained through sound transmission, and then pointed to the Patriarch of the Vajra Sect.

"Okay, it's been arranged, but you, you should practice hard when you have time. After so many years, you are still in the early stage of foundation establishment, and you haven't made any progress. Don't always read those messy ancient books. You are talking about it every day. Read on." , I am worried that you will have demons."

The Vajra Sect patriarch hesitated to speak, which was not quite the result he wanted, but seeing the other party's decisive words, he sighed from the bottom of his heart, and finally cupped his fists and bowed.

……

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Qing opened his eyes from cross-legged, and looked down at the leather bag beside him.

This was a gift from Huangyan last night, and there were three exotic beast materials in it.

Two diamond-shaped bones, one feather.

There are red glows shining on them, which seem to belong to the same source, and the breath is quite extraordinary, but it is a pity that it has nothing to do with the firmness, and it is more about the blessing of spells and speed.

"I don't know how many spirit stones I can sell."

"And my white pills, I've accumulated almost a thousand more..." Xu Qing counted his assets, walked out of Fazhou, and came to the breakfast shop where he went every day.

The owner of the meal was a middle-aged man with no cultivation, an ordinary resident in the main city, with a simple and honest face, when he saw Xu Qing, he grinned.

He was very impressed with this handsome young man who caught the murderer. He didn't have any viciousness as a disciple of the Seven Blood Eyes, and he was very polite, so he didn't need Xu Qing to order food, and soon the boss served a few steamed buns And steamed eggs, and a plate of side dishes.

Xu Qing thanked him, sat there, picked up the chopsticks, and started to eat slowly. Now he is used to using chopsticks, until he ate cleanly, put a spirit coin on the table, then got up and left Go catch the murderer.

The murderer's point is very simple, just touch the identity token on the bluestone in the Xuanbu compound.

Xu Qing, who was familiar with all these things, took advantage of his duty to walk on the street in the morning sun.

Along the way, I met some disciples of the Murder Division, and most of them greeted him politely. After the Yejiu World War I, Xu Qing already had a certain reputation in the Murder Division.

Now, as he was walking on the street, Xu Qing bought some pears, and while eating, he walked towards the medicine shop. He planned to sell Bai Dan first, and then go to see the materials that Huang Yan gave to him yesterday. In the end, how much is left to exchange for the required giant whale skull.

It didn't take long, and the pharmacy was in Xu Qing's eyes, and it was still the one where he bought and sold herbs and elixir, and it was very lively with people coming and going.

Xu Qing is a regular customer here, and when he appeared, he was immediately seen by the busy shopkeeper, his eyes lit up, he walked out of the counter and spoke with a smile.

"I haven't seen you for a while, are you buying herbs or selling pills this time?"

"Sell Dan."

Hearing Xu Qing's words, the shopkeeper became even more enthusiastic. For the elixir that Xu Qing took out, he just scanned and happily gave out twenty spirit stones.

"Don't take a look?" Xu Qing looked at the shopkeeper.

"You don't need to check your elixir." The shopkeeper smiled and waved his hand.

Xu Qing nodded. He was sure that every pill he had was of high quality, so he clasped his fists and walked out of the shop.

Seeing that Xu Qing was gone, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy hurriedly took out the jade slip, and after sending a voice transmission to the shop owner, he called for a clerk, put Xu Qing's elixir in a box, and asked the clerk to deliver it to the second peak immediately.

This guy was very clever, knowing that the owner seemed to attach great importance to these pills, so he ran quickly after leaving the shop, and took a shortcut to the second peak.

Not long after, the box was sent to a cave on the second peak, and placed in front of a young girl.

The girl looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was dressed in a pale orange Taoist robe and sat there with plain makeup. She raised her hand and took out a pill from the box, and observed it in front of her eyes.

Under the sun, her complexion was more radiant than snow, her eyes were like pools of clear water, her jet-black hair was tied up in a princess bun, and on the bun was a hairpin with beads and flowers, with tassels hanging from it, revealing agility.

This young girl is the owner of the pharmacy, and she is also the person Xu Qing met at the door of the pharmacy that day.

While checking at this moment, the girl let out a slight snort, raised her eyebrows slightly, and showed surprise in her eyes.

"It turned out to be more pure?"

She studied Xu Qing's elixir before, and found that although she could achieve it, she couldn't do it every time, so she couldn't help but feel a little competitive in her heart.

"The disciples of the Seventh Peak can do it, but I, as a cultivator of alchemy, have no reason not to!"

With a wave of the girl's jade hand, medicinal herbs flew from all around. She looked serious and began to refine.

When she wanted to compete with Xu Qing in alchemy, at this moment Xu Qing was walking on the street, looking at the refining workshops of Sixth Peak disciples around him, his brows were slightly frowned, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. Confuse.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but when he passed by these shops today, some of the Sixth Peak shops inside seemed to glance at him intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were confirming something.

In the past, this was not the case.

"Are they watching me?" Xu Qing squinted his eyes. This abnormal scene made him more vigilant, so he gave up all Liufeng shops.

He did not enter any one to sell materials, but returned to the berth in Port 79, practicing with deep vigilance.

A few days passed, and nothing happened. Xu Qing hesitated in his heart, but he was still cautious. He used his duty to pass by Liufeng's shops every day, and secretly checked many times.

That behavior of observing him never happened again, but Xu Qing was still worried, so he simply waited for a few more days, and after confirming that everything was normal, he found a shop that had never observed him from the beginning to the end, and prepared to past.

If he really wants to be promoted to Fazhou, he will go to Liufeng shop to buy and sell materials after all, and almost all Liufeng shops related to Fazhou are in the port area. If they are monopolized, most Liufeng shops in other districts will not do it The business of boat materials.

So even if there is a slight insecurity, Xu Qing is still ready to try it.

Then Xu Qing walked on the street with vigilance, his pace was fast, but just as he was about to reach the shop he chose, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Xu Qing."

Xu Qing turned around and saw the figure of the little fat man Huang Yan not far behind him.

Huang Yan saw Xu Qing from a distance, waved his hands enthusiastically at this moment, and ran a few steps quickly, the flesh on his body trembled with the running, until he came close, he opened his mouth proudly.

"Xu Qing, did you know that my senior sister sent me a message again, haha, let's go, I'm happy today, please go drink eggs."

After speaking, he was about to pull Xu Qing away, Xu Qing stepped back to avoid it, but thought about the strangeness of the egg and the fact that the other party had sent his materials a few days ago, so he hesitated for a while.

"I'm going to sell materials."

"Selling materials? What do you need, I'll give it to you." Huang Yan said boldly.

Xu Qing shook his head.

"Okay, then I'll accompany you to sell materials, and then you accompany me to drink eggs, that's it." Huang Yan looked happy, obviously eager to share with others, after he finished speaking, he looked around, He pointed to the shop next to him.

"Just go to this place. I've been to this place a few times, and it's not bad."

Xu Qing turned his head to look at the shop Huang Yan was pointing at. This shop was also the destination of his trip. There were many disciples buying and selling inside. Xu Qing glanced over and saw an acquaintance, Zhang San.

He was also shopping for materials, and after noticing Xu Qing outside the door, he greeted him with a smile.

"Let's go, let's sell out quickly, the most important thing is to drink eggs." Huang Yan said, looking at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing glanced at the shopkeeper in the shop, and walked in without hesitation.

This shop is very large, with two floors. There are various exotic animal materials hanging in it, each of which is very valuable. As he approached, the shopkeeper next to the counter raised his head.

The middle-aged shopkeeper had a mustache and looked very shrewd. He looked at Xu Qing and smiled.

"You two from the same sect, what do you want to buy?"

"Sell materials."

Xu Qing spoke calmly, walked to the counter, and under the eyes of the shopkeeper, took out the materials in the leather bag, not only the gifts from Huang Yan, but also some harvested from murdering wanted criminals.

The shopkeeper looked at Xu Qing, then scanned the materials placed on the counter, picked up a few items in deep thought, looked carefully, then raised his head, and gave Xu Qing a meaningful look.

Then his complexion gradually became gloomy, and the light in his eyes became sharper.

"Little friend, there is something wrong with these items of yours."

"A few days ago, the Vajra Sect reported to my Sixth Peak that its sect was stolen and lost a lot of resources. These items of yours... are all recorded, and they are lost by the Vajra Sect. My friend, you can What do you mean by taking out the stolen goods and selling them to us?"

"Could it be that the theft of the Vajra Sect is related to you?"

"The dignified disciple of the seventh peak of the seven blood pupils, could it be possible to steal the Vajra Sect?"

The shopkeeper obviously did it on purpose, the louder the voice, the louder it spread throughout the shop. In an instant, the disciples from all peaks in the shop became quiet and looked at this place together.

Xu Qing was not surprised, but just sighed in his heart. He felt that he was cautious enough, but he still didn't avoid it, but he also knew that it was related to the ancestor of the Vajra Sect, and a murderous intention emerged in his heart, and he felt a strong sense of crisis. The person who helped the Patriarch of the Vajra Sect must be someone from the Sixth Peak.

So he scanned the neck of the shopkeeper in front of him and the various materials placed on the shelves around him, and looked in the direction of the sea. His eyes were about to get cold, and he weighed in his heart whether to leave with one vote or to fight for reason.

But when Xu Qing was weighing it in his heart, the little fat man Huang Yan's eyes widened, his body jumped up, and he slammed the counter hard, making a loud bang.

"Stolen goods? Is this also stolen goods?"

The little fat man picked up the alien animal bone that was given to Xu Qing from the items, with unprecedented anger in his eyes, as if he had been greatly humiliated, he yelled.

"This frankly belongs to Lao Tzu, do you dare to say that Lao Tzu's stuff is stolen goods?"

The little fat man flew into a rage, and threw the bone in his hand towards the shopkeeper's face.
