Time passed, and it was more than half of October.
It was supposed to be the season of cold dew, but because the location of the Seven Blood Boys was close to the sea, it was still hot during the day.
Only at night did the wind become cold, and so did the sea, as if the gloom buried at the bottom of the sea filled with the moonlight, revealing the sea, enveloping the heavens and the earth, and penetrating into the bodies of all those who practiced at night, allowing them to experience the malice in winter in advance.
At this moment, the night wind was blowing, and the moonlight was shining on the port, spreading every inch of the bluestone road, and it also fell on Xu Qing, who was walking towards the berth with vigilance after finishing the day's work.
Xu Qing stepped on the moonlight, his figure was tall, his gray robe swayed as he walked forward, and his long hair seemed to be dancing together, looking like a picture scroll of a lone shadow under the moon from a distance.
Only the cold in the wind at night made Xu Qing instinctively a little cold.
It is not the body that is cold, but the memories left by the slums.
Just like the traces smoked by fireworks on the scroll, even if the entire scroll is completed, even if it is covered up with ink and covered so that outsiders cannot see it, the scroll itself knows that the traces still exist.
In the cold wind, Xu Qing exhaled and walked faster.
It has been half a month since the last gathering with Zhou Qingpeng and others.
For the past half month, Xu Qing has been on duty in the Murder Catcher Division as usual every day, and he did not wait for the promotion that Zhou Qingpeng said, nor did he care.
Because for Xu Qing, practice is the focus of his current stage.
His Transformation Sea Scripture had reached the peak of the seventh layer, and it was not far from a breakthrough.
The same is true for Haishan Jue, which is about to reach the eighth level.
This made Xu Qing look forward to it.
He felt that according to his current combat power, when the Sea Scriptures and the Sea Mountain Technique both broke through to the eighth layer, there was a high probability that he would be able to achieve instant killing without damage in the face of himself when he did not come to the Seven Blood Boys.
Even when he met the Vajra Sect Ancestor again, Xu Qing felt that although he still couldn't beat the other party after the eighth floor, he could cooperate with the shadow and go all out in the sneak attack, and there was a certain chance to fight against him a few times.
"It's almost ......."
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, the enemy he was most eager to kill now, in addition to the Vajra Sect Ancestor, there was also that fish tribe boy.
In the former, he felt that it would not take long for him to have the power to kill, while in the latter, he was already looking for an opportunity.
It's just a pity that in the past half month, he has been cautiously following the mermaid boy almost every day, looking for an opportunity to kill, but the other party has always had a guardian around him, making it difficult to start.
Occasionally, the other party went out alone as the captain said, but he used treasures to cover his breath and figure, making himself disappear.
Xu Qing was difficult to search, but he was still patient and analyzed, and he realized that he had to find a way to leave some marks on the other party.
"If you encounter such an opponent in the future, you must leave a mark in advance."
Xu Qing murmured, just like he had learned to deal with corpses at the beginning, keeping this matter in his heart and moving on.
Soon, he arrived at the berth of the 79th port.
And Xu Qing didn't encounter any malicious glances along the way, and no one came to disturb him at night.
Although it hasn't been a long time since the Seven Blood Boys came, Xu Qing has gradually made some reputations, and such a reputation has greatly reduced the number of people who hit his ideas, and most of them are extremely cautious.
At this moment, as Xu Qing released the Dharma boat, a behemoth boat appeared out of thin air in an instant, and when it fell to the sea, there was a roar of slapping the seawater, and it set off waves and scattered.
As far as the eye can see, the hull of the boat, which is more than twenty feet long and more than three feet wide, is amazing.
The pitch-black board emitted a black light under the moonlight, and the cold light from the dense scales on the outside seemed to blend together, and with the huge and ferocious crocodile head on the bow of the ship, it made this Dharma boat seem to have really turned into a giant crocodile.
Especially in the crocodile's open mouth, countless sharp teeth, and the glow in its eyes added a bit of shock.
If you look closely, you can see that the scales on the outside of the boat are higher than before, and even on the inside, which is invisible to outsiders, they are also permeated with scales.
There is also a special ship bone that runs through the entire hull, forming a stronger support than ever.
There was still wind around it, making this behemoth-like Dharma boat exude bursts of intimidation, especially the cabin, which is now too big, and the rooms inside are also like this, there are places to rest, there are places to practice, and even Xu Qing has created an exclusive herbal medicine room.
In addition, a touch of blue light can sometimes be seen in this hull, swimming like a living creature, and wherever it passes, it makes the Dharma boat stronger.
The most important thing is that on this board of the ship, there is a huge groove, although there is nothing inside, but the formation is dense, obviously left in advance.
These were the sixth-level Dharma boats that Xu Qing created with intermediate materials after spending hundreds of spirit stones!
And the groove left by Yu cost him an additional ten spirit stones.
Because he was optimistic about a material, it was a small skull of the giant whale, once it was inserted, it could make his Dharma boat strong, break through from level six, and reach the peak of level seven.
It's just that the skull of this giant whale is too expensive and belongs to one of the sub-high-end materials of the Dharma Zhou.
The price was naturally amazing, and it required a full two hundred spirit stones.
This price is already extremely exaggerated, Xu Qing has seen it many times in the past few days, and secretly gritted his teeth and decided to save money to buy it.
"When my cultivation breaks through to the eighth floor, and after I buy the giant whale skull and make the magic boat reach the seventh level...... I'll go to sea!"
Xu Qing muttered, and after making a decision, he stepped onto the Dharma boat, entered the place of practice, sat cross-legged on the futon, and closed his eyes to practice.
The sea breeze blew all night, and in the early morning it seemed to be tired, and gradually dissipated weakly, and as the sun fell, Xu Qing opened his eyes and began a new day's upward value.
Without the search for night pigeons, the work of the Murder Catcher Division is very idle most of the time, but occasionally the Inspection Division will come to apply for assistance for things that cannot be handled.
For example, today, Xu Qing just came to the Murder Hunting Division, and after lighting the rabbit in the yard of the Sixth Team of the Xuanbu, he received an application for assistance from the Inspection Division.
There were not many people dispatched, including the captain, a total of six people.
After walking out of the Murder Division, under the introduction of the captain, Xu Qing and other team members also knew that the goal of assisting in the patrol this time was the Dispatch Division.
The former is responsible for the scheduling arrangement of ships coming and going, and the latter is like the dispatching arm, responsible for bringing ships from the outside world into the harbor.
So in every port, there are branches, and today they are going to 96 ports.
Now more than 100 people from the Water Diversion Department are gathering in the Dispatch Division, as if they are confronting each other, so the Dispatch Department reported to the inspection to mediate, and the inspection found it difficult, so it applied for the assistance of the Murder Division.
After hearing the captain's mission introduction, some of the team members who were traveling with him spoke with a sarcastic expression.
"It seems that the point of the contradiction is that this month's additional reward should have been given to the Ninety-Six Port Water Diversion Division, but the dispatch of the Ninety-Six Port was only given 10% of the previous amount, which no one would agree to."
"In addition to the daily salary, the disciples of the two departments of dispatching and diversion of water are often used to help with the dispatch, and the dispatch is faster and more expensive, so each port dispatcher must pay additional rewards to the diversion on time."
When Xu Qing heard this, he also had a general understanding of what happened this time.
"This matter is the dispatch of Ninety-Six Ports, and some time ago there was a new person in charge, which is the core disciple Zhao Zhongheng."
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed and he didn't speak.
"As soon as this core took office, he strongly changed the rules, and it is said that the reward for diverting water every month has changed from the original five to nine one, so the disciples of the Water Diversion Department are furious."
Xu Qing listened to everyone's discussion, and in thought, their group arrived at the dispatch office of the ninety-six ports, and from a distance, the shape of the dispatch department looked like a sail spread on the ground, with many large and small buildings, and many Dharma boats parked on the side.
In front of the gate of the dispatch department, at this moment, hundreds of people blocked the gate, confronting the disciples of the dispatch department inside the door, and the quarrels continued to come out, and the tense intention became stronger and stronger, and there were more disciples around to watch.
There are also disciples of the Inspection Department who are mediating, but neither party will give in, so mediation is extremely difficult.
With a slight spark, the two parties are very likely to take action directly in this tense atmosphere.
So after seeing the arrival of the Murder Catcher Division, the disciples of the Inspection Division breathed a sigh of relief, and the onlookers outside also spread out on the road, making the Murderer Catcher Division approach.
The captain who was eating apples did not go to see the tense two sides and the laborious adjustment of the inspection division, but found a place to sit down and watch the excitement in a corner not far away.
The task of the Murder Catcher Division is to calm down after the two sides really kill, and they haven't killed yet, so they don't need to pay attention.
The same was true for the other team members, Xu Qing sat down with everyone, and after his eyes swept over both sides, he did not see Zhao Zhongheng, but saw an acquaintance.
This person stood at the front of everyone in the Water Diversion Division, a little fat man.
It was Huang Yan who generously gave him the spirit condensation leaf in the pharmacy that day.
Without that reward, our practice and boat training will slow down. You are trying to kill us, since everyone on the left and right is dead, then we will kill you first!"
Huang Yan seemed to be the representative of the water diversion of the Ninety-Six Ports, although he was wearing a gray robe, but he held his head high, not urgent at all, and his expression was even more ferocious, his voice was sharp, his face was blushing and his neck was thick.
In front of him, the monk standing in the gate of the dispatch department was a middle-aged man, this person was also wearing a gray Taoist robe, he was not a dispatcher from the Ninety-Six Ports, but Zhao Zhongheng's attendant.
This matter was proposed by Zhao Zhongheng, and if there was a problem at this moment, the other party's identity would naturally not come out to solve it in person, so he arranged for an attendant to come and deal with it.
At this moment, the middle-aged monk's eyes showed a cold light, and there was even more displeasure, he had followed Zhao Zhongheng for a long time, although he was a servant, but when he met the disciples under the mountain on weekdays, most of them were very respectful to him, and he had seen too many other core disciples, so he had already forgotten his identity, and he was very dissatisfied with these gray-robed disciples in his heart.
Especially since he knew that it was impossible for his master to change the rules, so he put on a strong stance at this moment.
"Within a stick of incense, if you don't want to die, get out immediately!"
As soon as his words came out, the disciples of the Water Diversion Division were filled with murderous intent, and the dispatch department saw this, and the cold light flashed in their eyes.
For the disciples who came out of the wolf's den and did not rely on others to gain a foothold, killing...... They are no strangers.
"Let's get out? I'll get out of your grandfather's!" Huang Yan's eyes widened, and he slammed it directly, he was fast and his body was heavy, and at this moment, he started to move.
In the next instant, the disciples who had been in a tense atmosphere for a long time began to fight directly at this gate.
The roar echoed, the fluctuations of the technique spread in all directions, and the melee of hundreds of people was staged directly in front of Xu Qing's eyes, with blood splattering everywhere and spreading in all directions.
The disciples of the Inspection Division in charge of mediation retreated one after another at this moment, while Xu Qing and the others were still sitting there.
Xu Qing glanced at the captain on the side, the captain was eating an apple, looking very interested in the melee ahead, and sometimes cheered a few times.
"There are too many of them, it's a bit dangerous to fight, let's wait until they are almost killed, and then we will calm it down, not to mention the fighting between the two departments...... The sect also doesn't want to see it, and nine out of ten will come forward to stop it."
After cheering, the captain spoke to the team members around him in a low voice.
At this moment, there were already casualties on both sides in the melee, and the roar and roar were even more intense, Xu Qing saw Huang Yan in the crowd, who was shooting like crazy with red eyes, and his seven layers of qi condensation cultivation made his explosion very lethal.
And at this moment, Xu Qing saw that in the crowd of the dispatch department, the middle-aged man who had confronted Huang Yan before was retreating rapidly, looking at Huang Yan's gaze, with viciousness, taking advantage of Huang Yan's not carrying his back, he waved his hand wildly, and suddenly a willow leaf throwing knife flew out of his sleeve.
This knife was made of special material, some transparent, extremely fast, and had a touch of blue light on it, as if it had been smeared with poison, and flew straight to Huang Yan's neck.
Huang Yan was in the midst of a chaotic battle, he didn't notice it for a while, and he was about to be flown closely, Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, and with a flick of his right hand, a drop of water suddenly formed out of thin air, flying out of an instant at an astonishing speed, and landed directly on the willow leaf throwing knife.
The water droplets were extremely strong, and with a bang, the throwing knife shifted its direction and slashed in front of Huang Yan.
Huang Yan's face changed, he first looked at Xu Qing, nodded, and then his fierce gaze fell on the middle-aged monk, and he rushed directly with a low roar.
"Damn it!" The middle-aged monk immediately retreated backwards, but it was still too late, and he was directly caught up by Huang Yan with a few jumps and hit hard.
The sound of Kacha was drowned out by the melee around him, and he could only see the middle-aged monk's expression distorted and quickly counterattacked.
The melee continued, and there were more casualties.
At this moment, the captain on the side glanced at Xu Qing, smiling but not smiling.
Xu Qing didn't speak, retracted his gaze at Huang Yan, his previous move was because Huang Yan generously gave him the spirit condensation leaf that day.
And soon, as the fighting between the two departments became more and more tragic, a low shout came from a distance, like thunder in the sky.
"Stop everything!"
In the midst of the words, a figure stepped into the air from a distance, and the powerful and terrifying aura fell from the sky at this moment, suppressing all directions, causing all the disciples on the ground to tremble one by one, and they all stopped.
"I'm going to work." The captain spoke in a low voice, stood up, and put on a law enforcement look, with a solemn expression, Xu Qing and other team members also stood up.
The moment they got up, the figure of the sky approached rapidly and fell in mid-air, turning into a young man wearing a dark purple Taoist robe.
This young man was not good-looking, his eyes did not fluctuate much, but his momentum was amazing, he was standing in mid-air at the moment, looking coldly at the disciples of both sides who stopped on the ground.
