On this day, Tingyu, who had lived in the purple soil since she was a child and had a hard time knowing the suffering of the world, had a dream.
In the dream, Chen Feiyuan was fiercely making things difficult for Xu Qing, and she was very angry.
Until early in the morning, Tingyu, who woke up from her dream, was in a different mood than before, and when she arrived at Master Bai's tent, she was also a little absent-minded when she sat there reciting the pharmacopoeia, and looked up outside the tent from time to time.
Until I saw ...... Chen Feiyuan.
Tingyu rolled her eyelids and remembered yesterday's dream.
Chen Feiyuan gasped, rubbed his eyes and lifted the tent, sitting on his buttocks and about to sit next to Tingyu, but the next moment the futon was directly moved away by Tingyu.
Chen Feiyuan was stunned and looked at Tingyu.
"What are you doing?"
"You sit there." Tingyu didn't bother to pay attention to Chen Feiyuan, and pointed to the place where Xu Qing usually sits.
"Why!" Chen Feiyuan suddenly stopped, his eyes widened.
"Just because you don't have to study hard, because you often ask for leave during this time, I'm annoyed by you sitting here, is it enough?"
Tingyu Xing's eyes widened, and she spoke quickly, hearing Chen Feiyuan stunned there again, and after a while, she muttered a few words, as if she didn't dare to provoke the other party, and sat in Xu Qing's position with depression.
"Alas, Tingyu, ...... you" After sitting down, Chen Feiyuan just spoke, and before he could finish speaking, Tingyu's eyes showed unkindness.
"Don't say the word sigh, what should I do if I am heard and misunderstood."
"Huh? Oh, what's wrong with this word?" When Chen Feiyuan looked dazed, the door of the tent was opened and Xu Qing walked in.
Seeing Xu Qing, two shallow dimples appeared on Tingyu's face, showed a smile, and patted the futon beside Chen Feiyuan.
"Little junior brother, sit here."
Xu Qing was stunned, and Chen Feiyuan was stunned for a moment.
"What are you still stunned for, the teacher is coming, come over quickly." Tingyu urged.
Xu Qing hesitated a little, looked at Tingyu, and then at Chen Feiyuan who was sitting in his seat and staying there.
This moment was indeed the time for Master Bai to come, so Xu Qing could only walk to Tingyu's side and sit in the position that belonged to Chen Feiyuan in the past.
Chen Feiyuan was dumbfounded, and just as he pointed at Xu Qing and was about to speak, Tingyu turned his head and glared at him fiercely.
"Shut up!"
"I haven't spoken yet." Chen Feiyuan was about to cry, he felt unfair, and was about to continue speaking when the tent door opened, and Master Bai walked in.
Chen Feiyuan could only hold back what he wanted to say, sitting there angrily, Tingyu on the other side seemed very comfortable, as for Xu Qing, she was a little uncomfortable, like sitting on pins and needles.
And Master Bai, who walked in, after seeing the position where Xu Qing was sitting, looked at Tingyu and Chen Feiyuan, who was like an air bag, and a smile also appeared on his face, without interfering, and began to assess.
As always, Chen Feiyuan was reprimanded, while Tingyu proudly completed the assessment and looked at Xu Qing with anticipation.
And Xu Qing's answer was even more perfect, and he even asked some of his own questions in the assessment.
The whole process made Chen Feiyuan's depression reach the extreme.
So when the day's classes were over, he was the first to run out of the tent, and he felt that he was being discriminated against today.
Xu Qing was also uncomfortable sitting there in this class, standing up at this moment, bowing to Master Bai and just about to leave, but was stopped by Tingyu.
"Little junior brother, why is your face dirty again?"
Tingyu took out the handkerchief and was eager to try, Xu Qing frowned slightly, immediately avoided it, and left in a hurry.
Until he left, Tingyu looked a little aggrieved and looked at Master Bai who was watching the excitement.
"Teacher, why is this child dirty every day, I also mean to help him."
Master Bai laughed, touched the girl's head dotingly, and spoke softly.
"Because it is not a good thing for people living in suffering and danger to be overly conspicuous."
Tingyu thought about it and nodded.
Xu Qing didn't hear Master Bai's words, but what he thought in his heart was the same as what Master Bai said.
Growing up in the slums, he knew very well that the less conspicuous he was, the safer he was, and most of the people around him were dirty.
This is his rule of survival since he was a child, as for those who have not done so, unless they are extremely strong, most of them will not live long.
Because of this, Xu Qing developed the habit of not cleaning, he needed to integrate into the environment and make himself inconspicuous.
For example, a hidden hunter can only be seen when he makes a move.
At this moment, Xu Qing, who left the camp and arrived at the border of the restricted area, was also like this. He picked up some rotten leaves from the jungle, crushed them and smeared them on his body, blending himself into nature as much as possible, and slowly stepped into the forbidden area.
Although the Thunder Team went to live in the city, Xu Qing did not give up looking for the Destiny Flower.
The improvement of cultivation and the increase in strength, combined with his now richer experience, as well as his knowledge of plants and trees, and his constant vigilance, made him encounter less danger on the periphery of this forbidden area jungle.
So Xu Qing's exploration gradually stopped at the temple, but slowly groped into the depths.
Although the crisis was greater, this kind of tempering also made his combat power continue to improve, and the harvest of grass and trees was also richer.
However, like the peripheral area, although there were more herbs in the depths, most of them were still evil and poisonous weeds.
And the majority of poisonous plants also made Xu Qing's knowledge of plants and trees mostly focused on the configuration of poisons. While he became more and more diligent, he also had several more poison dispersions.
For this reason, he went to a clothing store and bought a coat full of pockets, each with a different poison.
As for the black gloves he got from the blood shadow captain's leather bag, they were also put on by Xu Qing, and he gradually felt more and more comfortable.
This glove not only makes his fist more lethal, but also has a certain effect of poison protection, so together with the dagger given by the cross, it has become a daily weapon on his body like an iron rod.
At the moment, as the sun was about to set, Xu Qing, who had finished a day of grinding and developing poison, walked out of the small pharmacy in the canyon, sorted out his weapons and poison powder, shook his waist, and went straight to the temple.
Every time before leaving the forbidden area, he had to go to the temple to find the scar removal stone.
Although he had visited many times before without success, he had inquired about this stone and knew that it was naturally generated, colorful, and occasionally visible, so he persevered until this time......
After he came to the temple, under the afterglow of the setting sun, he saw the position of the stone withered head and eyebrows in the distance, as if there was a touch of colorful light shining.
Xu Qing's eyes froze, he quickly checked his surroundings, and then checked his previous hidden arrangement, and after finding that it was intact, he jumped to the top of a temple and squatted down to observe again.
Finally, it was determined that there was really no danger here, so he went straight to the place where the stone head was.
When he arrived, he saw a colorful stone growing in the crack in the center of his eyebrows.
This stone should have been ordinary, but in this mysterious temple, under the washing of time, on this day, it has become different.
Xu Qing hurriedly took it down, and quickly searched around until he searched the entire temple complex, and he found six such stones.
Looking at the stone in his hand, Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, the Destiny Flower and the Scar Removal Stone, these two items were finally found by him.
After carefully putting away the six small stones, Xu Qing took a deep look at the temple group, bent down and bowed, and then quickly left and disappeared into the jungle in the distance.
Galloping all the way, Xu Qing's figure jumped and undulated in the canopy everywhere.
As the night fell, with the echo of the beast's roar, his pace remained unchanged, fast and slow, towards the edge of the jungle, getting closer and closer.
Not long after, when Xu Qing jumped onto a tree trunk and was about to move forward, suddenly the silt on the ground next to him burst open, and a giant horned python rushed out, opening its mouth and swallowing it towards him.
His body was larger than what he had encountered in the camp that day.
Faced with this kind of surprise attack, Xu Qing's expression did not change at all, but his right hand raised a finger and popped out, and it hit the head of the giant horned python that was devouring.
With a bang, the giant horned python couldn't bear it, and the shrill roar stopped abruptly as soon as it came out, its tough skin could not stop the power from Xu Qing, its head was torn apart, and its flesh and blood collapsed.
This collapse spread throughout the body in the blink of an eye, until it became a cloud of blood mist.
Only his courage...... Unscathed, it fell from the blood mist, was grabbed by Xu Qing, and left in a flash.
In this way, at dawn, Xu Qing walked out of the jungle and returned to the camp.
The pitch-black camp had few lights at this time, Xu Qing walked in it, and the mood of getting the small stone became lower as he got closer to his residence.
His residence was also pitch black, and only the dozen or so wild dogs lay on the ground and wagged their tails after noticing his return.
Xu Qing, who walked into the courtyard, habitually glanced at the former room of the Thunder Team, and silently walked into the kitchen.
He warmed up yesterday's leftovers and swallowed them just to fill his stomach, and after cleaning up and returning to the room, he sighed lightly.
"I don't know how the Thunder team is doing in the city, it should be very good, if I still don't find the Destiny Flower in the end, I will save up some more spirit coins and go buy a place."
Xu Qing muttered, closed his eyes, and let himself sink into cultivation.
The next day, Xu Qing went to class as usual.
Tingyu became normal, but the seat was still reserved for him, and Chen Feiyuan also resigned himself to his fate, watching Xu Qing sit in his original position.
As the course ended, Tingyu stopped wiping his face for him, and there was more understanding in her eyes.
Xu Qing felt this understanding, he lowered his head slightly and said goodbye to Master Bai.
When leaving the tent, Xu Qing touched the small stone in the leather bag and walked towards the grocery store where the little girl was.
But before he could get closer, he saw a group of strangers outside the grocery store from a distance!
Their clothes were very special, and the black robes were embroidered with the blood-colored sun, and a bloody meaning was also particularly obvious on them.
-----
I would like to share with you a real experience I had when I was a child, for some reason, I still remember this incident, maybe because I was confused for too long, I even went home and asked my parents......
It was when I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, my deskmate was a girl, and one morning, she looked at me very unpleasantly, I remember it deeply, I said to her at the time: "Oh, so-and-so, you can lend me your homework."
Then she looked at me fiercely and said to me: "Don't say the word sigh, what should I do if others hear the misunderstanding!" After saying that, it seemed that she also quickly swept a male classmate in our front row with her head sideways......
Real experience, when I grew up in the class reunion, I laughed and talked about it, but my old deskmate didn't admit it......
