Seeing the moment in his eyes, Xu Qing's eyes froze, and Ling'er next to him blinked, did not speak, and took a few steps closer to Xu Qing.
Duanmu hid the eyes in his palm and looked at Ling'er instantly, but quickly stared at Xu Qing again.
The brown bloodshot eyes revealed bursts of decay, and the fishy smell spread, enveloping the entire house, while there were faint screams swirling around.
"This is?" Xu Qing looked at Duanmu Zang.
"This eye is the old man who harvested strange things when he found here, and his ability to repel fire is amazing, but it needs to be subdued to it, which should not be difficult for you, and it is very timid, if you intimidate it a few more times, it will not dare to cause trouble."
"I once used its power to explore under the magma."
"That day under the sea of fire, it was full of mystery, so if you practice inside, it is best not to get close to a thousand feet."
"Under the thousand feet, there is the prohibition of the Red Moon Temple, it is difficult for anyone to break into the slightest, and even I have seen strange beasts in the sea of heaven and fire, which collapsed under the ban at the edge of a thousand feet."
Duanmu Zang looked solemn, and after speaking, he threw the eyeball in his hand to Xu Qing.
After Xu Qing caught it, his eyes were still staring at him, exuding evil and even more malicious.
Xu Qing looked as usual, and while holding it in his hand and playing with it, he spoke softly.
"Senior, are there many places like the Red Moon Temple in the Great Moon Sacrifice Domain, such as under the Heavenly Fire Sea?"
Duan Muzang took out a pot of wine given by Xu Qing, sat aside and took a sip, with a complicated expression, and nodded.
"Not a few."
"For the Moon Sacrifice Domain, the Red Moon Temple is supreme, and their will determines the life and death of all living beings.
Xu Qing thought about it, sat opposite Duanmu Zang, and continued to ask.
"Senior, junior wants to know more about the Red Moon Temple, I wonder if you can tell me more?"
Duan Muzang looked up and looked at Xu Qing a few times.
"Boy, in the Great Domain of Moon Sacrifice, the Red Moon Temple, like the gods, cannot be desecrated in the slightest."
"So don't provoke them, otherwise, they will not only kill you easily, but also have a way to sacrifice you, so that you will be cursed and you will never be able to get out of here again."
Duanmu Zangmian is cold and warm-hearted, especially during this period of contact, with his life experience, he has seen a lot of things, and his impression of Xu Qing is constantly changing.
So although his expression was strict, his words were full of reminders.
Xu Qing nodded, he knew the sense of proportion, and he also understood that although he had the purple moon, he could not underestimate any relatives related to the red moon, but he knew very well that since he came here, sometimes even if he wanted to avoid it, it would not necessarily go well.
And knowing more about the Red Moon Temple would also increase the possibility of him avoiding it, so he asked for some details.
Duanmuzang heard this, thought for a while, and slowly spoke.
"It's good for you to know more, so that you can better understand the horror of the Red Moon Temple here."
"The Red Moon Temple, instead of the Red Mother grazing the moon sacrifice domain, every once in a while, all tribes must take the initiative to send sacrifices."
"And for the Red Moon Temple, they don't care about the death of the tribe, because every time the Red Mother arrives, most of the creatures in the entire Moon Sacrifice Domain will be devoured."
"So the mission of the Red Moon Temple is to collect and store food at all times before the Red Mother arrives. There is also the fact that after the Red Mother leaves, she repeatedly cultivates various races, so that they continue to grow like crops."
Duanmu Zang's tone was calm, as if he was telling someone else's story, not his own fate.
Xu Qing listened silently.
Ling'er watched the two of them drinking, after thinking for a while, she ran to the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared to cook a meal for the two of them.
This was taught by her sister and aunt she knew, when a man drinks, as a virtuous helper, he needs to cook a few dishes to make him more virtuous.
Ling'er's actions made Xu Qing can't help but raise his head and sweep away, hesitating to speak, but seeing that Ling'er was in high spirits, he didn't speak.
Although Duanmu Zang also saw it, he naturally wouldn't take this kind of trivial matter to heart, and at this moment he was drinking wine, telling him in detail what he knew about the Red Moon Temple.
For locals, their understanding of the Red Moon Temple is far greater than that of foreign intelligence.
Xu Qing listened very carefully, until a moment later, Duanmu Zang's hoarse voice echoed.
"Calculate the time, the Red Moon Temple should be coming soon, you will leave later, remember to bow your head when you see it from a distance, they are easy to recognize, it is red."
"Generally speaking, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke it, the Red Moon Temple will not pay attention to all races and scattered cultivators, just like an elephant doesn't care about ants."
Duanmu Zang laughed at himself.
"What they value is whether each race has completed the preparation of the sacrifice, and if they cannot complete it, their ethnic groups will be replenished."
"For example, more than forty years ago, the Baidian tribe living in the north did not fulfill the requirements of the temple, so a divine envoy came with some divine servants and harvested 70% of the tribe's people."
"What kind of cultivation is the divine envoy?" Xu Qing asked.
"Outsiders don't know how many divine envoys there are in the Red Moon Temple, they are of different ethnic groups, their cultivation is all returned to the void, and the divine servant is a spiritual servant, and as for the spiritual servant below, they are divine slaves."
Xu Qing thought about it, thought for a while and spoke.
"Is there a Son of God?"
"Yes!" Duanmu Zang's eyes showed fear.
"In the Red Moon Temple, there is a divine son, it is said that he is the true relative of the Red Moon, and his cultivation is unknown, but in fact, for him, his cultivation is no longer important, what matters is the power of the gods he holds."
"And ...... He can exempt the designated person from the fate of being food, so that he will not be devoured when the Red Mother comes."
Duanmu Zang sighed lightly.
"This alone can make countless strong people crazy, willing to give everything to obtain this exemption."
Hearing this, Xu Qing heard this, an undetectable gloomy light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and instead of continuing to ask Red Moon, he asked about the strength of the Heaven, Fire, and Sea Alliance.
After all, here, what he is most directly facing now is the search of these two races.
"These two clans have six spiritual treasures, including their respective ancestors, as for the ...... of returning to the void."
Duanmu Zang shook his head.
"No."
"Because the power of returning to the void tastes the best, as long as one appears, it will be marked by the Red Moon Temple, you can imagine that it is the ripeness of the fruit, although it will not be processed, but it is equivalent to being on the menu."
"Therefore, those spiritual treasures in the Great Domain of Moon Sacrifice are all restrained, and if they can not break through, they will not break through."
"If you are on the menu, you will die, and if you don't get on the menu, there may be a certain chance of saving your life, although this probability is extremely low, but in order to survive, you can only do this."
Xu Qing understood that he was still wondering why the two clans did not return to the void before, and now he had the answer.
Duanmu Zang continued to speak.
"As for the Mirror Shadow Clan and the Heavenly Face Clan, they are just two small groups, and the six spiritual treasures within them truly converge into a complete secret collection, and only two ancestors have truly gathered into a complete secret collection."
"Others, like that national teacher, are just in the process of cultivating the secret heavenly way, and they are still cultivating the Dao and enlightenment."
Xu Qing didn't know much about Lingzang, it was too far away from him, so he never asked Master, and this was the first time he had heard the expression of Lingzang at this moment.
"Cultivating the Dao and enlightenment?" Xu Qing noticed these four words.
Duanmuzang nodded.
"Only by giving birth to your own heavenly way and rising the star of enlightenment in your own secret treasure can you show the power of your own laws, which can be regarded as a secret treasure that has been completely completed, and you can truly become a spiritual treasure powerhouse."
"And this stage is extremely difficult, cultivation and more resources are only part of it, and the key point is to realize the power of the law to give birth to the way of heaven."
"So the vast majority of spiritual treasures actually stay at this stage, which is called cultivating the path and enlightenment."
"For Yuan Ying, the spiritual treasure in the cultivation stage is indeed very strong, but for those who have truly completed the first secret store, the cultivation of the Tao has not yet been completed, and it is not in the eye."
"Like building a foundation before and after the fire."
Xu Qing's eyes froze.
"I don't know what the outer realm is like, but in the Moon Sacrifice Domain, out of a thousand spiritual treasures, only one or two can successfully give birth to the Heavenly Dao and complete the first secret treasure."
"As for the others, they all stay in the cultivation path, and they are severely injured in the cultivation path, because the secret treasure is not fully formed, so once it collapses, the cultivation will also fall."
Xu Qing glanced at Duanmu Zang, he thought of the Duanmu Zang he had seen in the sky and fire sea before, and the collapsed secret treasure rising from behind the other party.
"That's how I am, so I know better the spiritual treasure in the stage of cultivating the Dao and enlightenment, the thin line between the strong and the weak."
Noticing Xu Qing's gaze, Duanmu Zang spoke lightly.
Xu Qing nodded, and just as she was about to speak, Ling'er ran over with two plates of black side dishes, and after placing them on the table of the two, she looked at Xu Qing and Duanmu Zang expectantly.
Xu Qing had a smile on his face, picked up his chopsticks and took a bite, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and then showed appreciation and took a sip of wine.
Duanmu Zang was stunned for a moment, glanced at the dark side dishes, then looked at Xu Qing's appreciative expression, and finally looked at Ling'er, and found that the other party was also looking at him.
So Duanmu Zang also took a bite.
His expression was as usual, and after swallowing slowly, he took a sip of wine and glanced at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing also glanced at Duanmu Zang.
Duanmu Zang showed admiration, and then looked at Ling'er appreciatively.
"Very good."
Ling'er was suddenly happy.
Xu Qing smiled and continued to eat, but Duanmu Zang saw this and coughed.
"I still have a furnace of elixirs to take a look, so I'll leave first." After saying that, he got up and shook his head, his figure blurred, and disappeared into the house.
"Is it so delicious, I will try it too." Ling'er was excited and was about to eat when Xu Qing had already put the last bite in her mouth.
Ling'er was satisfied, seeing that Xu Qing was going to meditate, she ran aside and took out the half-made clothes and continued to process them, which was what she learned from her sister and aunt.
"You must let Brother Xu Qing wear the clothes I made."
Thinking of the future picture, Ling'er's heart was beautiful and became more and more serious.
In this way, the last ten days passed in a flash.
Perhaps because parting was approaching, the ancestor of the Vajra Sect no longer broke the chapter, accelerated the speed of storytelling, and finally came to an end with a complete story before the heavenly fire dissipated.
And no matter how strong Ling'er's nerves were, she slowly felt the parting, and nostalgia rose in her heart.
After more than two months of contact, she had already developed some feelings for this place, so she kept many of the elixirs she had.
The little girl's side was also reluctant to give up on Xu Qing, and she came more often, until the third day before leaving, Xu Qing shouted to say goodbye to the little girl who was about to leave.
"Panyan, you sit across from me."
Xu Qing spoke gently, Shi Panyan is the name of the little girl.
"Yes, teacher!"
The little girl trusted Xu Qing very much and sat directly in front of Xu Qing.
Xu Qing raised his hand and pressed it on the little girl's eyebrows.
"Don't resist."
When the little girl heard this, she simply closed her eyes.
After a long time, Xu Qing shook his head secretly, feeling a little regretful.
He wanted to try it to see if he could resolve the curse of the red moon in the other party's body, and he also wanted to study the principle of this curse.
But unfortunately, the curse from the bloodline, with Xu Qing's current ability, could not be broken, and he needed more research and experiments.
It's just that such an experiment must contain blood, involving unplaning and testing every inch of flesh and blood, trying it with the human race, Xu Qing didn't want to do this.
"Panyan." Xu Qing spoke softly.
The little girl quickly opened her eyes.
"I'm leaving in a few days."
The little girl was silent, her eyes were a little red, and she lowered her head and did not speak.
She knew for a long time that this day would come, and she was ready in her heart, but the moment Xu Qing's words came, her heart still trembled.
Looking at her, Xu Qing thought of the other party's hard work and seriousness in the past two months, and the thirst for knowledge made Xu Qing very familiar.
He took out a pharmacopoeia from his storage bag.
After gently stroking it a few times, Xu Qing remembered Master Bai, and then handed it to the little girl.
"This is what my teacher left for me, and today, I will give it to you."
The little girl trembled and raised her little hand, took it, hugged it tightly, and looked at Xu Qing with a strong reluctance in her eyes, and she wanted to speak.
But she knew that the teacher and she were people from two worlds, so a thousand words eventually turned into a bow.
She bowed to Xu Qing and Jiu.
Xu Qing admitted it calmly and advised.
"You have to study this pharmacopoeia well in the future, go back, you don't have to come here in the future."
The little girl got up silently, the thin figure walked to the door lonely, standing there, she turned her head to look at Xu Qing again, tears in her eyes couldn't help but flow.
"Teacher, can I still see you?"
Xu Qing looked up and looked at the eleven or twelve-year-old girl in front of him, he understood the other party's thoughts, because a similar scene had also happened to him.
So he had a gentle smile on his face and nodded.
"Heaven and earth are the guest house of all living beings, time is a passerby from ancient times to the present, as long as you don't die, we will meet you eventually, I hope that the day I see you again, you will become a talent."
The little girl remembered this sentence and kept it firmly in her heart, she took a deep breath, bowed to Xu Qing, and slowly left the house.
Walking in the night, she was depressed, holding the pharmacopoeia in her arms tightly, as if holding hope, muttering in her mouth.
"As long as you don't die, we will meet you eventually!"
Xu Qing stared at the little girl's back, he thought of Master Bai and himself.
"Teacher, I have accepted a plant disciple, her name is Shi Panyan, this little guy studies very hard."
Xu Qing muttered softly in his heart and closed his eyes.
And there was no banquet in this world, with the return of the heavenly fire from the outside world, Xu Qing took Ling'er and left the city of fireflies in the dark world three days later.
Before leaving, Ling'er hugged those sisters and aunts and cried.
Around the ancestor of the Vajra Sect, there were also many people listening to the book, and in the silence of each one, a strong sense of reluctance was revealed.
Duanmu Zang stood beside Xu Qing, looking at all this, sighing softly in his heart.
Xu Qing looked up at the crowd.
He saw Shi Pangui with his wife and sister, standing in the distance, saying goodbye to him.
The little girl lowered her head, as if she didn't want Xu Qing to see it
To tears, the body trembles.
Staring at all this, Xu Qing was silent for a moment and spoke softly.
"Senior, send me out."
After saying that, Xu Qing turned around and walked into the distance.
Left the city, left the tomb.
Ling'er finished her transformation and returned to Xu Qing's collar, and the ancestor of the Vajra Sect also returned to the fish bones, feeling a little melancholy.
Outside this abandoned mine, Xu Qing not only left the wine, but he also gave most of the spirit stones and elixirs in the storage bag, as well as some magic weapons, to Duanmu Zang.
The two looked at each other and nodded their heads, each with their own blessings.
Then, one turned around and walked into the mine, and the other got up and went straight to the sky.
On the canopy, the flames were no longer visible, and they had returned to the dimness of the past, only in the direction of the sky and fire in the distance, the flames could be seen in the sky.
The earth was scorched, the peaks became more irregular, and the wrinkled piles piled up, and the grass and trees could not survive.
While the whole world is withered, there is also residual warmth.
Xu Qing roared in the sky, slowly suppressing the parting thoughts in his heart, he was used to separation, from childhood to adulthood.
But some things, no matter how much you get used to it, will still have waves.
It's just that as they grow up, they can hide deeper.
A few days later, Xu Qing saw the sea of heaven and fire, the sea was the same as usual, there was no change, the magma flowers bloomed from time to time, and there was a rumbling explosion sound.
Leaping in the sea of heaven and fire, Xu Qing did not see any figure all the way.
For the monks of the nearby tribes, the Heavenly Fire had just ended, and the first thing they had to do was to participate in the reconstruction, so there were very few people like Xu Qing who came to the Heavenly Fire Sea for the first time.
On the empty sea of heaven and fire, Xu Qing galloped all the way, as if he was the only one left in the world.
But he was still cautious and wanted to go to a remote place farther away before starting to refine the life lamp.
In this way, another seven days passed.
When Xu Qing completely penetrated into this sea of fire, he saw a red light at dusk on the seventh day.
The source of light was a huge heart, it was beating, emitting a thumping sound that echoed through the heavens and the earth, forming an astonishing coercion, causing the heavens and the earth to change color and the wind and clouds to roll.
On this huge heart, a red palace was built, with a simple shape, and while it was filled with blood, there was also a strong red mother divine power, rising inside.
And the most conspicuous is the statue erected in front of the palace.
A statue kneeling there, covering his eyes with his hands covered, and bleeding from his seven orifices.
As for the heart, there were dozens of meteorites of different sizes floating around, originally black in color, but because of the blood covering, they became purple-red.
On each meteorite, there was a monk sitting cross-legged, there were all races, they remained motionless, raised their hands to cover their eyes, blood flowed from their bodies, spreading the meteorite.
No one spoke, only the sound of the heart replaced all language with the spread of blood light.
Red Moon Temple.
Xu Qing saw it from a distance, his body immediately sank, entered the magma, his eyes narrowed, and he stared silently.
The huge heart gradually arrived in the sky, carrying the surrounding meteorites, ignoring everything, roaring through the sea of heavenly fire, with an unknown destination.
In the Great Domain of Moon Sacrifice, they are the gods.
When any ethnic group sees it, they either worship it or avoid it, and no one dares to stop it.
After a while, as they moved away, Xu Qing showed his head from the magma and looked into the distance.
After a long time, he moved forward again.
After another three days, Xu Qing finally selected an area and decided to refine it here, he took out the eyeballs that Duanmu Zang had lent him and looked over.
The eyes also stared at him, not letting him at all.
Xu Qing didn't speak, he thought of Duanmu Zang having said that he wanted to surrender to it, so he called the shadow just in case.
Suddenly the shadow transformed around Xu Qing, forming a dark curtain, and finally floated in mid-air, and the twinkling stars inside opened up in unison, turning into countless eyes, staring at the eyeballs in Xu Qing's hand.
The eyeball looked at so many eyes, and it trembled obviously.
Xu Qing looked cold and threw it towards the shady scene.
"You communicate with it."
All the eyes in the shady screen blinked instantly, and after the evil divine thought fluctuated, the eyeballs were enveloped.
When he spit it out after a while, his eyeballs were obviously languishing, trembling, and exuding fear.
Xu Qing glanced at it, then called out the Vajra Sect Ancestor again, and wiped his fish bones on this eyeball.
Every time he wiped it, the Vajra Sect Ancestor would laugh fiercely, and his eyeballs kept trembling.
Finally, when Xu Qing picked it up and entered the magma, the brown blood on the eyeballs immediately spread obediently, quickly enveloping the surroundings, isolating Xu Qing from the surrounding heat.
In front of the shadow and the Vajra Sect ancestor, although it exuded fear and looked very weak, but under this sea of fire, it could dissolve the heat that Xu Qing could not bear, which was very strange.
All things are mutually restrained, which is clearly reflected in this eyeball.
Xu Qing thought about it, and with the help of his eyeballs, he continued to sink.
As for the shadow, in order to prevent any evil thoughts from suddenly appearing in this eyeball, Xu Qing never took it back.
In this way, when he sank to a depth of about a hundred zhang, Xu Qing stopped, and after meditating cross-legged, he slightly inhaled a trace of flame that was not isolated from the outside world.
Just a hint of it gave Xu Qing a kind of danger of his life being burned, but fortunately, there were very few of them, and the purple crystal quickly devoured it while it shone.
Then the light, which was much stronger than before, was reflected in Xu Qing's sea of consciousness, illuminating the Remnant Immortal Slaying Lamp clearly in an instant.
The next moment, the lamp began to melt.
The speed of dissolution exceeded that of before, Xu Qing's eyes were like this, his heart was excited, and while he was fully focused, the shadow was also extremely hard, staring at his eyeballs, continuing to exude hunger.
The eyeballs were frightened, trying to dissolve the heat under the magma.
Time passed slowly, and after seven days, Xu Qing's Remnant Immortal Slaying Lamp completely melted, and as the sea of consciousness churned, as the thousand-foot vortex spread under the magma, the fourth sundial life lamp appeared!
The sundial moved on it, and at different times, it appeared in Xu Qing's body, affecting the outside world.
It's just that being under the magma hundred feet, although the fluctuations here are not small, they only make waves on the surface of the magma, coupled with the remoteness of the location and the emptiness of the sea of fire today, so it has not attracted any attention.
Until another seven days passed, Xu Qing opened his eyes, and the thousand-foot whirlpool around him formed again, and the five sundials in his consciousness were completely formed.
A terrifying fluctuation, with the appearance of the fifth sundial, rose from Xu Qing's body.
Five sundials, the shadows of the hands are all turning, and the time is seven hours apart, each different!
Staring at them, Xu Qing fell into deep thought, until a few hours later, when the shadow of the first sundial light pointer that appeared first fell at noon, its light no longer turned, and the hands no longer moved.
A sense of enlightenment appeared in Xu Qing's heart.
"Next, the other four lamps should also stop at noon one after another, and when they coincide, there should be a special ability to be displayed......"
Xu Qing wasn't very clear what this ability was, but he knew that this would be a big explosion of the power of the sundial based on his induction.
