On the Qingsi Desert, the howling wind sweeps across the sky and the earth, and the green sand fills the air like a sea. All this seems to be endless, the sky and the earth are endless, and the sand and wind never disperse.

Only on the mountain, due to unknown reasons, there will be much less wind and sand, making the surroundings relatively clear.

From a distance, the peaks standing in the Qingsi Desert look like otherworldly places.

Especially the Kusheng Mountains are majestic and criss-crossing, so there is less wind and sand here.

But the whimpers from the wind continued to come from all around, as if there were countless demons and monsters hiding in the wind and sand, roaring at the world unwilling to be buried, and also reached Xu Qing's ears.

The mountain nest Xu Qing chose was relatively hidden deep in the Kusheng Mountains, and the moment he turned on the mirror, the shadows had already spread to protect his surroundings.

Seeing this cleverness, the ancestor of the King Kong Sect became more and more vigilant, so he flew out, looking like a loyal protector, and protected the Dharma.

It seems that as long as there is any abnormality, it will rush out without hesitation, even if it is shattered to pieces, it still has to prove its loyalty.

Ling'er also showed his head, with white light in his eyes, alert in all directions.

Under their protection, Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, gradually became serious. He felt the personality contained in the will emanating from the lenses. It was a feeling like looking up at the sky and the stars.

Vast and endless.

The inner consciousness of Ding 1, 3 and 2 also trembled, and the god's fingers instantly opened his eyes, showing surprise in his eyes, and then quickly disappeared.

And the lens itself also gathered power at this moment, floating in front of him on its own, shining with a faint light.

At the same time, a voice that seemed to come from the distant nothingness formed words as the will echoed, replacing the howling of the wind and reverberating in Xu Qing's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Tai Shang Tai Xing, constantly adapting to changes, judging evil and restraining evil spirits, protecting life and body."

"Wisdom is clear, the core of the heart is peaceful. The three souls are eternal, and the soul has no loss."

This voice gave people an ethereal feeling, and it was impossible to distinguish between men and women. It was like a gathering of the words of all living beings, but when Xu Qing's mind was ups and downs, it actually brought him a sense of peace.

It seems that these thirty-two words contain the power of purifying the heart.

Xu Qing's heart felt extremely peaceful at this moment, the altar was ethereal, and the sea of ​​consciousness was stable.

It seemed that a long time had passed, and it seemed that it was just a moment. The lingering sound of the ethereal voice was constantly echoing here. It was clearly the same thirty-two words that came out, but in Xu Qing's perception, they turned into something else.

meaning.

Because there are two words in it, it becomes particularly clear.

“…..Review…”

Xu Qing did not act rashly and felt it carefully.

Gradually, he had a clear premonition and understood that as long as he completely sinks his mind into these two words, an unknown test will begin.

Xu Qing pondered and did not continue.

On the one hand, the environment here is not suitable for immediate implementation, and on the other hand, Xu Qing feels that he has not yet fully understood the details of the assessment.

So he raised his right hand and grabbed the mirror in front of him, severing the connection between them.

The next moment, the feeling of peace of mind dissipated, Xu Qing raised his head, and the whimpers of the wind outside the mountains came to his ears again.

Linger quickly turned to look at Xu Qing.

"Brother Xu Qing, how's it going? It was a success."

Xu Qing raised his hand and stroked Ling'er's head gently, thinking in his eyes, and then spoke calmly.

"The method should be correct, but it will take some time to verify."

Ling'er was relieved and noticed that Xu Qing was deep in thought, so she didn't disturb him. She obediently returned to Xu Qing's collar, found a comfortable position, and coiled herself in a circle. She felt the body temperature of Xu Qing's body, and her heart felt extremely deep.

peaceful.

It seems that for her, Xu Qing's warmth is the source of all peace.

After a while, Xu Qing's eyes showed determination. He was going to find a place to live in the Kusheng Mountains, while exploring the mirror's assessment and studying the curse.

If he were alone, he would choose to open a cave and live alone, isolated from the world.

But if Ling'er is here... Xu Qing thought for a while and planned to find a nearby Tucheng to live in. He didn't want Ling'er to accompany him and at the same time have her endure the loneliness of being with her for a lifetime.

With this thought in mind, Xu Qing left this mountain nest and walked in the Kusheng Mountains. Finally, he chose a relatively smaller earth city on a mountain outside.

This earthen city built on the mountainside has no name and only a few thousand residents. Most of the buildings inside are sand structures. The overall look is very monotonous without much color.

The majority of people here are locals, and the rest are outsiders from all ethnic groups who come for various reasons.

Although some shops have appeared in the city, their business is ordinary and there are few customers.

Looking around, 30% of the houses are empty and uninhabited.

Apparently the people inside had either left or died.

Desolation and silence were Xu Qing's first feelings in this earth city.

But compared to other places, this small city is more tolerant. Although Xu Qing's arrival attracted a lot of hostile attention, no one came to intercept it.

Xu Qing, who was walking in the small city at this moment, with his whole body wrapped in robes and only his eyes exposed, noticed that among the residents of the city in twos and threes, there were some deformed people.

The bodies of these people are fat and covered with stripes of fat, both on their arms and thighs. There are also people with multiple arms, and some even have faces growing on the fat on their bodies.

Some of them are even dragged under the feet, spreading more than half a foot long, and the robe can hardly cover them all.

It's as if multiple people have merged together, or they themselves have mutated, and their expressions are mostly numb.

At first, Xu Qing thought it was a foreign race that he had never seen before, but the more he saw, he found that this was not the case.

"The deformities of these people should be acquired."

Xu Qing was thoughtful, feeling a little more weird about the green sand desert. Finally, he walked around the small town, found an uninhabited house, and walked in.

The house was full of dust, there were many broken bottles and cans on the ground, and there were some lopsided shelves around it. It looked like it should have been a drug store.

Looking at these, Xu Qing waved his hand to tidy up, and Ling'er also appeared in disguise, looking around curiously, and while helping to tidy up, he made excited sounds.

"Brother Xu Qing, are you going to open a medicine shop here?"

Xu Qing thought for a moment after hearing this and nodded with a smile. He remembered the first time he saw Ling'er, the inn she opened with her father on Banquan Road.

For Xu Qing, it doesn't matter whether he lives or opens a pharmacy. Since Ling'er has this suggestion, he can just open one.

"Great, Brother Xu Qing, let me tell you, I have experience in opening a store, and I can do it."

Ling'er jumped for joy, her eyes shining brightly. After sorting out the dust and debris around her, she took out a rag and wiped it here.

There were obviously spells that could be deployed, but Ling'er seemed to prefer to do it himself. Seeing this, Xu Qing felt Ling'er's happy mood and felt deep in his heart.

Along the way, Xu Qing gained a deeper understanding of Ling'er's innocence. She was very smart, but also very simple, and often small things would make her happy for several days.

In this way, under Ling'er's auspices, when the next morning came, this long-abandoned small drug store reopened in this small town.

The name of the drug store was named Qing Ling Tang by Ling'er.

As for elixirs, Xu Qing had a lot of them, especially white elixirs.

After all, this is the first elixir he has mastered. Although he does not need it, for all living beings in this world, this elixir is always available.

Especially when he was in Fenghai County, Xu Qing studied Bai Xiaozhuo's elixirs and gained some insights.

Although Bai Xiaozhuo added poison to the improved white pill, purely from the perspective of the quality and function of the new white pill, it is indeed a blessing and can greatly improve the degree of purification.

So Xu Qing and Ling'er's small drug store mainly sells white pills.

After transforming, Ling'er hid her appearance and became an ugly girl. She excitedly started working as a waitress. However, there were not many residents in the small town and the shops were newly opened, so there were not many customers.

But this does not affect Ling'er's happiness.

Seeing Ling'er's expectation, Xu Qing let her play. After planting the seeds given by the captain, he started practicing and researching behind the medicine shop.

On the one hand, he tried to open the mirror, observe and explore carefully, and on the other hand, he studied the curses in the beasts captured along the way.

In this way, time passes slowly.

From the beginning, their drug store was not popular, but now a few customers occasionally come to buy white pills. This is mainly due to the low price and the good efficacy of the medicine.

The opening of the drug store gave Ling'er more motivation. Like a little money addict, he calculated the spiritual coins he earned every day, and even took out a small notebook to keep serious accounts.

Xu Qing would occasionally finish his practice and look at Ling'er who was keeping accounts, and peace would rise in his heart.

Since living in the Firefly City in the Sky Fire Sea, Xu Qing found that he was becoming more and more accustomed to this peaceful life, and the tranquility brought by this kind of life caused him to have a vague change in his state of mind.

Xu Qing couldn't explain the specific changes, but he enjoyed it very much and was immersed in it.

So he spent more time on exploration and research.

The exploration of the mirror went smoothly, but the research on the curse progressed slowly.

During this period, Xu Qing integrated the power of the Purple Moon into the bodies of those ferocious beasts many times in an attempt to suppress the curse, but the effect was very poor and all failed.

At this moment, Xu Qing stared at a trembling scorpion in front of him.

He placed his hand on the scorpion's body. As the power of the purple moon merged, the color of the scorpion changed from brown to purple. At the same time, Xu Qing also felt the curse in the scorpion's body.

The curse of the Moon Sacrifice Domain affects all living beings. Its way of existence is to merge with the bloodline, and it is difficult to separate from each other. Once it breaks out, all living beings will be turned into black water in a short period of time.

When Xu Qing's Purple Moon power comes into contact with the curse, it will instantly burst out of its silent state.

It seemed that he suddenly came to life and wanted to absorb Xu Qing's purple moon power.
