out of time

Chapter 70 Fair and Reasonable
Time passed, halfway through October.

It was supposed to be the season of cold dew, but because Seven Blood Eyes was located near the sea, it was still hot during the day.

Only at night, the wind becomes colder, and so does the sea, as if the gloom buried in the bottom of the sea diffuses with the moonlight, seeping out of the sea, covering the sky and the earth, penetrating into the bodies of all those who practice at night, allowing them to experience the malice in winter in advance .

At this moment, the night wind was blowing, and the moonlight was falling on the port, spreading on every inch of the bluestone road, and falling on Xu Qing who was walking to the berth with vigilance at the end of the day's work.

Xu Qing stepped on the moonlight, his figure was tall and straight, and his gray robe swayed as he walked forward, seeming to dance with his long hair. From a distance, it looked like a picture scroll of a lonely shadow under the moon.

Only the coldness in the wind at night made Xu Qing instinctively cold.

What is cold is not the body, but the memory left by the slums.

Just like the traces on the scroll smoked by fireworks, even if the entire scroll is finished, even if it is covered and mounted with ink 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.

Half a month has passed since the last meeting with Zhou Qingpeng and others.

For the past half month, Xu Qing was on duty in the crime arrest department as usual every day. He didn't wait for the promotion that Zhou Qingpeng said, and he didn't care about it.

Because for Xu Qing, cultivation is the focus of his current stage.

His sea of ​​transformation has reached the peak of the seventh floor, and the breakthrough is not far away.

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 Huahai Jing and Haishan Jue both broke through to the eighth floor, facing himself without the Seven Blood Eyes, there was a high probability that he could achieve a non-destructive instant kill.

Even meeting the Patriarch of the Vajra Sect again, Xu Qing felt that although he was still unable to defeat the opponent after the eighth floor, he could cooperate with the shadow and go all out in the sneak attack, so he had a certain chance to fight against him a few times.

"almost……"

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, the most urgent enemy he wanted to kill now, besides the ancestor of Vajra Sect, was also the mermaid boy.

For the former, he felt that he would have the ability to kill in a short time, while for the latter, he was already looking for opportunities.

It's just a pity that in the past half month, he has been cautiously sneaking up on the mermaid boy almost every day, looking for an opportunity to kill him, but there are always guardians around him, making it difficult to strike.

Occasionally, the other party went out alone as the captain said, but he used a treasure to cover his breath and figure, so that he disappeared without a trace.

It was difficult for Xu Qing to search, but he was still patient. After some analysis, he realized that he had to find a way to leave some marks on the opponent.

"If you encounter such an opponent in the future, you must leave a mark in advance."

Xu Qing murmured, as if he had learned how to handle corpses, he kept this matter in his heart and continued on his way.

Soon, he arrived at the berth at Port 79.

Xu Qing didn't meet any malicious gazes along the way, and no one came to disturb him at night.

Although it hasn't been a long time since he came to Qixuetong, Xu Qing has gradually gained some prestige. Such a prestige has greatly reduced the number of people who want to attack him, and most of them are extremely cautious.

At this moment, following Xu Qing's release of the Dharma boat, a huge boat appeared out of thin air in an instant, and when it fell into the sea, there was a roar of slapping the sea water, causing waves to scatter in all directions.

Looking around, the hull of more than 20 feet long and more than three feet wide is amazing.

Under the moonlight, the pitch-black ship plank emits black awns, which seem to merge with the cold light from the densely packed scales on the outside. With the huge and ferocious crocodile head on the bow, this dharma boat seems to have really turned into a statue. giant crocodile.

Especially in the wide open mouth of the crocodile's head, the countless sharp teeth and the gloomy light in its eyes add a bit of shock.

But if you look carefully, you can see that the scales on the outside of the boat are of a higher level than before, and even the inside that is invisible to outsiders is covered with scales.

There is also a special keel that runs through the entire hull, forming a stronger support than before.

There is still wind around, which makes this monster-like dharma boat exude a sense of menace, especially the cabin, which is much bigger now, and the rooms inside are also like this, with places to rest and practice Xu Qing even created an exclusive herbal medicine room.

In addition, in this hull from time to time, a cyan streamer can be seen, swimming like a living thing, making the dharma boat stronger as it passes by.

The most important thing is that there is a huge groove on the board of the ship. Although there is nothing in it, the formation is dense, which is obviously reserved in advance.

These are the six-level magic boat built by Xu Qing with intermediate-level materials after spending hundreds of spirit stones!
And the remaining grooves cost him an extra ten spirit stones.

Because he was optimistic about one material, which was a small piece of skull of a giant whale. Once it was put in, it would allow his dharma boat to break through from the sixth level to reach the peak of the seventh level in terms of sturdiness.

It's just that the skull of this giant whale is too expensive, and it is one of the second-highest materials of Fazhou.

The price is naturally astonishing, requiring a full two hundred spirit stones.

This price is already extremely exaggerated. Xu Qing went to see it many times in the past few days, secretly gritted his teeth and decided to save money to buy it.

"When my cultivation base breaks through to the eighth floor, after I buy the giant whale skull and make the dharma boat reach the seventh level... I will go to sea!"

Xu Qing muttered, after making a decision, he stepped onto the dharma boat, entered the practice place, sat cross-legged on the futon, and practiced with his eyes closed.

The sea breeze blew all night, and in the early morning, it seemed exhausted, and gradually dissipated. As the sun fell, Xu Qing opened his eyes and started a new day's work.

After the search for Yejiu ceased, the Murder Division's work was idle most of the time, but occasionally the Inspection Division would come to apply for assistance for things that could not be handled.

For example, today, just after Xu Qing came to the Murder Hunting Division, he received an application for assistance from the Inspection Division after doing his job in the courtyard of the No. [-] Xuanbu Team.

Not many people were dispatched, including the captain, there were six people in total.

After walking out of the murder department, under the introduction of the team leader, Xu Qing and the other team members also knew that the target of assisting the patrol this time was the dispatch department.

The dispatching department and the water diversion department are the majority in the entire port area. The former is responsible for dispatching and arranging the boats coming and going, while the latter is like the arm of dispatching, responsible for bringing the ships from the outside into the harbor.

Therefore, there are branches in every port. Today they are going to port 96.

There have been fierce conflicts recently between the water diversion and dispatching of Port 96. Now more than 100 people from the diversion department are gathering in the dispatching department, and they seem to be confronting each other. So the dispatching department reported to the inspection to mediate, but the inspection found it difficult, so they applied to arrest the murderer Division assistance.

After hearing the captain's mission introduction, some of the fellow team members spoke sarcastically.

"It seems that the point of the contradiction is that this month's extra reward should have been given to the Water Diversion Department of Port 96, but the dispatch of Port 96 only gave [-]% of the previous reward. No one would agree to this change."

"The disciples in the two departments of dispatching and water diversion, in addition to their daily salary, because water diversion is often used to help the dispatcher, and the dispatcher has a lot of extra money, so the dispatcher of each port must give extra rewards to the diversion on time."

When Xu Qing heard this, he had a general understanding of what happened this time.

"This matter is the dispatch of Port 96. Some time ago, a new person in charge was replaced, that is the core disciple Zhao Zhongheng."

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

"As soon as this core took office, he changed the rules forcefully. It is said that the reward for diverting water every month has changed from the original [-]-[-] to [-]-[-], and the disciples of the diversion division were outraged."

Xu Qing listened to the discussion, thoughtful, and they all arrived at the Dispatching Department of Port 96. From a distance, the Dispatching Department looked like a sail laid on the ground, with numerous buildings of various sizes. There are also many Dharma boats parked in disorder.

In front of the gate of the Dispatching Division, hundreds of people blocked the gate at this moment, confronting the disciples of the Dispatching Division inside the gate.

There are also disciples of the inspection department who are mediating, but neither party backs down, so the mediation is extremely difficult.

With a little spark, the two parties are very likely to fight directly in this tense atmosphere.

So after seeing the murderer's arrival, the inspector's disciples breathed a sigh of relief, and the onlookers also dispersed to let the murderer approach.

The captain, who was eating apples, did not go to see the two parties who were at war and the inspection department who was struggling to adjust, but found a place to sit down and watch the fun in a corner not far away.

The task of the murderer is to calm down after the two sides actually kill each other. The killing has not yet started, so it can be ignored.

The same was true for the other team members. Xu Qing sat down along with the others. After sweeping his eyes across both sides, he didn't see Zhao Zhongheng, but saw an acquaintance.

This person stood in front of everyone in the water diversion department, he was a little fat man.

It was Huangyan who generously gave him the Ningling Ye in the pharmacy that day.

"Bastards of the Dispatching Department, you are doing this to cut off the survival of my disciples who diverted water from Port 96. Without that reward, our practice and boat refinement will all slow down. How can we survive in this crisis-ridden main city? You are trying to kill us, since the left and right are dead, then we will kill you first!"

Huang Yan seemed to be the representative of the water diversion at Port 96. Although he was wearing a gray robe, he held his head high and held his chest high, without any hurry. His expression was even more ferocious, his voice was sharp, and he blushed and shouted thickly.

In front of him, the middle-aged monk standing in the gate of the Dispatch Division was also wearing a gray priestly robe. He was not a dispatcher from Hong Kong 96, but Zhao Zhongheng's follower.

This matter was proposed by Zhao Zhongheng. If there is a problem at this moment, the identity of the other party will naturally not come out to solve it in person, so he arranged for his subordinates to come and deal with it.

At this moment, the eyes of the middle-aged monk showed a cold light, and he was even more displeased. He had followed Zhao Zhongheng for a long time. Although he was a follower, most of the disciples at the foot of the mountain were very respectful to him, and he met many other core disciples. , so he had already forgotten his identity, and he didn't care much about these gray-robed disciples from the bottom of his heart.

Especially since he knew that it was impossible for his master to change the rules, so he acted strong 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, all the disciples of the water diversion department were full of murderous intent, and the dispatcher's eyes flickered coldly when they saw this.

For the disciples who came out of the wolf's den and didn't rely on others to stand firm in the divisions of the main city of Seven Blood Eyes, killing...they were no strangers.

"Let's get out? I'll get out of grandpa!" Huang Yan stared, and directly bumped into it. He was very fast and his body was heavy. At this moment, he moved his hands amidst the roar.

In the next moment, the disciples who had already been nervous about water diversion and dispatch immediately started fighting at the gate.

The roar reverberated, and the wave of spells spread in all directions. The chaotic battle of hundreds of people was staged directly in front of Xu Qing's eyes.

The disciples of the Inspection Department who were in charge of mediation retreated one after another, while Xu Qing and the others were still sitting there.

Xu Qing glanced at the captain at the side. The captain was eating an apple. He looked very interested in the scuffle ahead, and cheered a few times from time to time.

"There are too many of them, it's a bit dangerous to fight melee, we wait until they've killed enough to calm down, and the fighting between the two departments... Zongmen also don't want to see it, and nine out of ten will come forward to stop it."

After applauding, the captain whispered to the players around him.

At this moment, both sides in the melee had already suffered casualties, and amidst the roar and roar became more intense, Xu Qing saw Huang Yan in the crowd, who was attacking madly with red eyes. Explosive, with strong lethality.

But at this moment, Xu Qing saw that among the crowd in the dispatching department, the middle-aged man who had confronted Huang Yan before was quickly backing away, looking at Huang Yan with sinister eyes, taking advantage of Huang Yan's refusal, he waved his hand violently Suddenly, a willow leaf flying knife flew out of his sleeve.

This knife is made of special material, somewhat transparent, extremely fast, with a faint blue glow on it, as if poisoned, and flew straight towards Huangyan's neck.

Huangyan was in the midst of a chaotic battle, and he didn't realize it for a while, but he was about to be approached by this flying bird. Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, flicked his right hand lightly, and suddenly a drop of water formed out of thin air, flew out at an astonishing speed, and landed directly on the ground. On the willow leaf flying knife.

The force of the water drop was extremely strong, and with a bang, the flying knife deviated from the direction and passed in front of Huang Yan.

Huang Yan's complexion changed, he first looked at Xu Qing and nodded, then his eyes fell on the middle-aged monk with a ferocious expression, and he rushed straight away with a low growl.

"Damn it!" The middle-aged monk immediately backed up, but it was too late, and Huang Yan caught up with him with a few jumps and hit him hard.

The sound of clicking was drowned out by the scuffle all around, and only the middle-aged monk's expression twisted and he quickly counterattacked.

The chaos continued, with more casualties.

At this moment, the captain on the side glanced at Xu Qing with a faint smile.

Xu Qing didn't speak, and looked back at Huang Yan. The reason why he made the move before was because Huang Yan gave him the Ningling Leaf that day.

And soon, as the fighting between the two departments became more and more fierce, a low shout sounded like thunder from a distance.

"Stop it all!"

During the words, a figure came 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 be shocked and stop their hands one after another.

"It's time to work." The captain said in a low voice, stood up, put on a law enforcement look, looked solemn, Xu Qing and other team members also got up.

The moment they got up, the figure in the sky approached rapidly, landed in mid-air, and turned into a young man in a dark purple Taoist robe.

This young man's appearance was unremarkable, his eyes didn't fluctuate much, but his aura was astonishing. Standing in mid-air at this moment, he looked coldly at the disciples on both sides who stopped their hands on the ground.
