Each of these black-robed people was tall, and the black robe covered their whole body and wrapped their heads, so they couldn't see their specific appearance.
But the coldness revealed from the gaze that occasionally emerged from the black robe made the scavengers and outlaws who were watching around tremble.
The eyes of these black-robed men were indifferent to life, without the slightest color of human nature, as if they were just machines used for killing.
Even as they stood there, the heat of June was invisibly dispersed, leaving the grocery store in a cold state.
And their identities, Xu Qing had already known from the whispered discussions of the surrounding scavengers at the moment of their arrival.
"It's the law enforcement team of the Departure Teaching!"
"Leaving the Way...... That's a group of madmen, they rarely appear in the scavenger camp, how did they come here this time."
"I heard that you are looking for someone, and you have already searched all the cities and scavenger camps in this area."
The sounds around him fell into Xu Qing's ears, his eyes slowly narrowed, an iron stick appeared in his hand, and he looked coldly at the grocery store, and at the same time as he looked, three people walked out of the grocery store.
The first two are tall and short.
The tall man was tall, like a blood-stained sword out of its sheath.
The clothes were the opposite of the Leaving Path Cult law enforcement team outside, their robes were blood-colored, and the sun pattern on them was black, and the head was not covered at this moment, revealing a black hair and an angular face.
It was a young man.
The moment he walked out, everyone in the black-clad departure teaching law enforcement team outside moved in unison, all bowed their heads, and knelt on one knee.
Looking at this scene, Xu Qing's eyes tightened, and the aura emanating from the other party made him feel like he was in the depths of the jungle and encountered a powerful beast.
As for the short one next to this young man, it was the little girl.
At this moment, she had an unprecedented happy smile on her face and grabbed the young man's hand hard.
Judging from her age, it seemed that the other party was her brother, and the coldness in the young man's body also became extremely soft when he looked down at the little girl, but the sadness in his eyes was still obvious.
It seems to be remembering the deceased relatives under the catastrophe.
Behind them was the owner of the grocery store, who looked flattering, followed cautiously, and whispered words.
Looking at all this, Xu Qing silently put away the iron stick, and touched the small stone in the leather bag, a little hesitant.
At the same time, the little girl who walked out of the store also saw Xu Qing in the crowd.
She quickly said a few words to the young man beside her, and then when the young man's scrutinizing eyes condensed on Xu Qing, the little girl let go of her hand and ran towards Xu Qing.
The scavengers around Xu Qing instinctively retreated and avoided them, causing the little girl to run smoothly in front of Xu Qing and say goodbye to him.
"My brother is here to pick me up, brother child, do you want to leave with me?"
In this farewell, the little girl looked at Xu Qing with some expectations.
Xu Qing shook his head.
The little girl who got the answer was a little disappointed, she glanced at Xu Qing, and then smiled on her face again.
"It's okay, when I grow up, we can still see each other, brother child, I said I would repay you for saving my life, I will definitely be able to do it."
"I'm going to follow my brother, my brother is good to me, he will give me whatever I want, do you have an brother too?"
The little girl talked a lot, and as she was talking, the young man outside the grocery store called out to her.
"I'm leaving, brother."
The little girl looked at Xu Qing, she had been in the camp for more than two months, and the only thing she was familiar with was the person in front of her, and she felt a little reluctant at the moment.
Xu Qing glanced at the little girl, took out a small colorful stone from the leather bag, and handed it to her.
"This stone can remove scars and give it to you."
The little girl was stunned for a moment, holding the stone and looking at Xu Qing, hesitating to speak, and her brother called again, and finally the little girl took a deep look at Xu Qing, held the colorful stone in her hand, returned to the young man's side, and walked away in the crowd of black-robed people.
On the way, she turned around and waved at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing waved his hand as well, watching the little girl who always had a happy smile walk away, he felt that it was right for the other party to leave here.
"Wishing you peace."
After saying that, Xu Qing turned around and walked towards the residence.
Life is the same as before, silently cooking alone, eating silently, cleaning up silently, meditating silently, and attending classes silently.
Time passed, and seven days passed in this life.
Xu Qing also completely returned to the slum state, and he had already realized that Master Bai ...... I probably won't stay at the camp for a long time.
At this point, from the past two or three days, Master Bai's convoy has begun to sort out, Xu Qing has already guessed.
Master Bai once told him that they came from purple soil, and purple soil ...... Xu Qing has heard many people mention that it is the center of Nanhuangzhou.
Until the early morning of this day, when Xu Qing came to Master Bai's tent, he did not see any guards here, nor did he see Chen Feiyuan and Tingyu.
In the tent, there was only Master Kashiwa.
Xu Qing already had an answer in his heart.
In this class, Master Bai spoke very carefully, Xu Qing listened very carefully, but time still flowed rapidly, and soon it was time to end the class, looking at Xu Qing who was silent there, Master Bai sighed lightly.
"I'm leaving."
"Before leaving, let me teach you some knowledge that will really help you in your future life. Master Bai took a deep look at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's eyes froze, and he looked at Master Bai.
The two of them made eye contact in an instant, and Master Bai's faint words echoed in the tent.
"Child, you can refine the herbs I explained to you in the third, seventh, eleventh, fifteenth, seventeenth and nineteenth days, according to the ratio of one to two to four, with the same amount of horse chestnut, and after continuous refining at high temperatures, you can refine the herbs that countless people in this world need...... White elixir equivalent to spirit coins!"
As soon as the words came out, Xu Qing's eyes widened and his breathing became rapid.
At this moment, he was no longer the one who didn't understand plants and trees before, and listening to lectures for almost two months made him very clear about the value of the pill formula in this world!
That is an extremely precious resource in the hands of a big family and a big force!
Especially ...... The value of the white pill, which belongs to the basic hard currency, is indescribable, and it is impossible to easily leak it.
And having mastered the method of making white pills, even he didn't need much cultivation, with this pill formula, he could live very well.
This is a great favor!
Xu Qing's body trembled slightly, looking at Master Bai in front of him, looking at the white hair at his sideburns, looking at his gentle gaze, and the scenes of the past two months came to mind.
From eavesdropping outside the account to listening to lectures inside the tent, the other party's earnest teachings made him feel a thousand words in his heart, turning into a strong sense of gratitude and reluctance.
Finally, he lowered his head and bowed deeply to the seemingly stern but kind-hearted old man in front of him.
"Thank you...... Teacher."
If Team Lei gave him the feeling of his relatives, then Master Bai in front of him was like a master, giving him the same extremely important survival skills in this world.
Master Bai looked at Xu Qingxing's big gift, a smile appeared on his face, and he also noticed Xu Qing's emotions, so he smiled.
"Child, I am like this to you because you are studious and understanding, and I am disgusted with those in this world who stipulate that the elixir must not be leaked."
"But sometimes, my identity makes me involuntarily, but you are not the first person I teach medicine and elixirs, I walk in Nanhuang and teach many, my human race's medicine path cannot decline due to identity barriers."
"Finally, between us...... You must know that heaven and earth are the guest house of all living beings, time is a passerby throughout the ages, as long as you do not die, you will eventually meet each other, I hope that the day I see you again, you will become a talent."
Master Bai's words are very meaningful, especially the last paragraph, which is the most meaningful sentence Xu Qing has heard over the years, and he remembered it firmly.
Before leaving, Master Bai left a thick herbal pharmacopoeia for him to study on his own.
Xu Qing was sent all the way to the outside of the camp, looking at the departing convoy in a daze, and also saw Tingyu's figure in the convoy, constantly looking back at himself.
In the twilight, it drifts away.
Under the setting sun, the young man's shadow was stretched for a long time, he stood there for a long time, slowly turned around, and returned to the camp.
The camp will not be different because of the departure of a few people.
There is no change, it is still dirty, there are still all kinds of people in the three religions and nine streams, there are old people shouting, there are children's crying, there are strong men laughing, and there are women's low breaths.
In the sunset, life seems to be a microcosm in the camp.
Xu Qing walked in it, did not immediately return to his residence, but unknowingly walked to the grocery store, looked at the new guy who took over the little girl inside, he bought a bottle of wine.
After returning to his residence with wine, Xu Qing did not eat that night.
He looked at the empty room, sat there looking down at the wine jug, picked it up after a while, put it to his mouth and took a big sip.
When the spicy meaning flowed down the throat into the stomach, exploding and spreading throughout the body, Xu Qing suddenly felt that this wine was not very tasty at the beginning, but today, it seemed to have some taste.
So, he took another sip.
One bite, one bite.
In his slightly tipsy mind, the picture of the slums in the past six years appeared, the figure of the Lei team walking into the city gate, the convoy of Master Bai leaving, and the scene of the little girl walking away.
The other party's words before leaving also emerged.
"Do you also have an older brother?"
"I also have an older brother, but I can't find it." Xu Qing held the wine jug, leaned against the wall, looked up at the moon outside, muttered in a low voice.
Outside his room, the old man in the purple robe and his servants stood there, listening silently, until the young man's murmur came from the room.
"Heaven and earth are the guest houses of all living beings, and time is a passerby from ancient times to the present."
"As long as we don't die, we will meet eventually."
