In this strange world, a scene even stranger than this place itself is taking place.
In that endless mist, the brain tree that originally wanted to devour Xu Qing's memories with greed and malice was now at the moment when Xu Qing dispersed Ding 132's memories and allowed the other party to eat them...
My brain couldn't help but tremble.
It has seen an existence that cannot be seen. There is no suppression by the power of the Prison Department here. Perhaps this is why it cannot forget it after seeing it.
And it was special because it specialized in devouring memories. All of this made the brain tree suffer extremely intense pain, and eventually it even let out a scream.
The other Brain Trees around seemed to rarely encounter similar things, or had not experienced them for a long time. At this moment, all of them were emitting curious mood swings.
"What happened?"
"So delicious?"
"I want to try it too."
These words made Xu Qing immediately understand that the brains of these Taixu Realm were somewhat naive to a certain extent.
Amid the curiosity of these brain trees, the screaming brain in front of Xu Qing became more and more shrill.
Both the brain and the cerebellum of his body were squirming violently, and his brainstem was twitching, and he even struggled fiercely to retreat.
But Xu Qing's right hand suddenly grabbed hold of the opponent, and his fingers were deeply dented, making it impossible for him to break free, and then he spoke calmly.
"Is it tasty."
"I..." The scream of the brain tree became more and more alarming, spreading in all directions. The next moment, it collapsed and exploded with a bang, splitting into countless pieces of mucus and splashing everywhere.
Both form and spirit are destroyed.
Its death caused a moment of silence all around. No matter how innocent the other brains were, they all now reacted and fell back instantly, even screaming.
"Why did it explode!"
"What memory did you eat!"
"What did you feed it?"
Xu Qing shook the mucus on his hand expressionlessly, thoughtfully.
This was a method he came up with on the spur of the moment, and it could also be used as a trial and test for Ding 132.
In fact, Xu Qing is not as ignorant about Ding Yisaner as he seems on the surface.
Although he didn't know the details, he had already analyzed part of the answer due to the decrease in bamboo slips and the various details of the skull prisoner's words.
Ding Yisaner was terrified. He should have woken up many times, but he couldn't remember it every time, Xu Qing murmured in his heart.
"It must have something to do with the gods."
"Perhaps it is an existence that can cause anyone who sees it and remembers it to be cursed and die?"
"So the Department of Prisons' suppression of it is most likely to make everyone who sees it forget it, and use forgetfulness to cut off cause and effect?"
"Is this why I can't recall that memory?"
Xu Qing pondered. He vaguely remembered that the last jailer told him that when you think you know the answer, there are actually more waiting for you.
"So is this the answer I get every time before I forget? Or is there a deeper secret that I don't know about? And how much of my answer is correct?"
Xu Qing pondered, his eyes falling on other brain trees.
He found this weird Taixu Realm very interesting. Not only could he obtain the Demon Transformation Technique here, but it could also be used as a test for Ding Yisan Er.
Xu Qing was ready to try again, so he took a step forward and appeared directly in front of a brain tree. The opponent's body trembled and he was about to dodge, but Xu Qing raised his right hand.
"It's delicious, come and eat."
The brain seemed to be struggling, but its desire for memory still made it approach cautiously and touch Xu Qing's palm, while other brain trees also observed.
Just the next moment, the body of the Brain Tree that was in contact with Xu Qing trembled violently and let out a shrill scream. When all the folds were twisted and about to explode, Xu Qing spoke quickly.
"What did you see!"
"I saw..."
With a bang, before he could finish speaking, the tree of brains fell apart and collapsed.
Xu Qing looked ugly and turned to look at the next brain tree.
All the brains around him instantly regressed, each one emitting clear fluctuations of panic and moving away crazily.
Xu Qing was a little unwilling, so he chased out in a flash, quickly caught up with one, touched him while the other screamed, and spoke softly.
"Here, it's delicious."
Time passed like this, and three days later, when the time limit for the trial of Taixu Demon Sect came, the big fish waiting in front of the statue took a strong breath, and Xu Qing's figure suddenly appeared in the big fish.
When the big fish shook its body and turned its head back, Xu Qing, who appeared in his body, looked back at the statue, with regret and some nostalgia in his eyes.
"Unfortunately, I didn't fully explore the answer, but only partially explored it. If you give me some more time..."
Xu Qing murmured in his heart, he felt that this would be the opportunity for him to unlock Ding Yi San Er.
"Every time we come, we need too much military power."
Xu Qing shook his head, and then raised his hand. A rune similar to the Brain Tree floated on the palm of his hand.
This is the contract with Taixu Realm.
Every trialist who comes here and successfully satisfies a brain technique with the memory it has devoured will be given such a rune as a contract, allowing them to start transforming into monsters later.
Moreover, in addition to the monks themselves bearing the cost of transforming into demons, the Taixu Realm will also share part of it.
The specific proportion is different for everyone, and it depends on the contract signed with the brain trees in the Taixu Realm.
Xu Qing suppressed the regret in his heart, waved his hand again, and a second, third, and fourth one appeared on his palm...
In the end, a total of thirty-two runes floated in front of him.
Each one is a contract that allows him to transform the shadow brought from the sea of consciousness. As for the burden, the other party will bear most of the consumption, and Xu Qing has paid very little here.
Xu Qing understood the reason for this.
This is the recognition of his goodwill from the brain trees in the Taixu Realm.
The reason why there are so many is because this recognition carries so much weight.
Xu Qing sighed in his heart, flicked his sleeves, put away the thirty-two runes, then closed his eyes and meditated.
Time passed, and unknowingly, his body shook again, and the feeling of teleportation emerged. His figure disappeared into the body of the big fish, and returned to the enlightenment compartment of the Taixu Hua Demon Sect branch in the county capital.
As the transmission ended, Xu Qing opened his eyes and recalled the experience of the past three days. Finally, he took a deep breath, stood up and walked out of the cubicle.
He was going back to the practice room of Jiange to try whether the Demon Transformation Technique could transform the Ghost Emperor as he thought.
With this thought, Xu Qing flew out of the branch of Taixu Demon Sect and headed straight to the earth. When he arrived at the sword pavilion, he immediately stepped into it and then activated the surrounding formation protection.
After doing this, Xu Qing looked around in the practice room.
The practice room of Jiange is its own space and is very large.
After confirming that this place could barely accommodate the Shadow of the Ghost Emperor, Xu Qing's eyes showed anticipation, and he took out a contract rune of the Brain Tree and slowly integrated it into the Ghost Emperor Mountain of the Sea of Consciousness.
As it gets closer, the rune shines brightly.
The light grew bigger and bigger, eventually turning into a sea of light that enveloped Ghost Emperor Mountain.
At the same time, outside Xu Qing's body, a vague mountain peak suddenly appeared on his body, gradually replacing his figure.
Although it is much smaller than the real Ghost Emperor Mountain, it is still amazing. If you look carefully, you can see that this mountain is a human figure sitting cross-legged and meditating!
Although the whole thing is still translucent and in a blur, it can't hide the monstrous evil. It can be vaguely seen that the humanoid figure is wearing pitch black armor, holding a giant blade, and carrying two worlds on his shoulders.
It was like the spirit of an evil god, sitting cross-legged.
Every inch of the armor on his body contains the power to destroy all directions, and the giant blade seems to be able to cut the world.
Astonishing fluctuations radiated from his body, with cruelty, madness, and even anger towards the world, with a power that was shocking to the heavens and swallowed up for eternity.
There was a vague stick, which transformed on the figure's knee, exuding terrifying pressure.
This figure is none other than the Ghost Emperor!
As for appearance, he is very similar to Xu Qing!
It's just that now its full picture is only 10% concrete, without substance, and the sword pavilion can no longer bear it at this moment, and there is a roar, as if it is going to shatter.
Until the next moment, as the sound of clicking echoed, the contract rune in Xu Qing's consciousness collapsed and fell into pieces.
The sea of light dissipated, and the ghost emperor's shadow outside Xu Qing's body also dissipated instantly, and everything ceased to exist.
Xu Qing's body was shaken, and he opened his eyes, spurting out a large mouthful of blood, but there was a strong light of excitement in his eyes.
"Can!"
Xu Qing's breathing was rapid. He had longed to transform Ghost Emperor Mountain for a long time, but he had never been able to do it. It was only in that moment that he finally felt the hope of success.
Although it failed in the end, this was because the contract rune reached its limit.
"Ten runes should be enough to complete one embodiment!" Xu Qing was moved, took a deep breath, and suppressed the idea of continuing to try.
There are now only thirty-one of his contract runes left, and Xu Qing feels a little sad trying to waste them.
"It can be used as my trump card. Calculating roughly, I should be able to use the body of the Ghost Emperor three times."
Xu Qing's eyes flashed, and at the same time, he was thinking about continuing to accumulate military merit, so that after three uses, he would have enough military merit to go to the Taixu Realm again.
And just as he was thinking about this, his jade slip of sound transmission vibrated, and the captain's confused voice came from inside.
"Junior brother..."
Xu Qing was stunned and took out the sound transmission jade slip.
"What happened again?"
"Junior brother, why do you think so? Why do you think so?" In the jade slip, the captain's voice was filled with bitterness and deep confusion.
"I gave all the answers to Wu Jianwu's stupid question. The materials I bought originally were sold to him at a high price. I watched him recite them all. I was even worried that he would forget. I even re-examined them several times. I was even more confused. Watching him walk towards Wen Xin, I finally looked at him... Huaguang was five thousand feet long!"
"Five thousand feet!!"
"Same answer, same materials, why am I one foot tall? I originally planned to let him be one foot tall too, so I can have a companion..."
Xu Qing acquiesced and comforted him after a while.
"One foot is as good as one foot, at least this is the only one."
There was silence in the jade slip, and after a while, the captain's voice of despair was heard.
"Junior brother, you really don't know how to comfort people."
"Do you think Wu Jiansha will take on the role of Ancient Emperor Xuanyou again when asking questions, and then recite poems in front of the Emperor?"
"No, I have to ask!"
Xu Qing held the jade slip and sympathized with the captain's experience from the bottom of his heart. Considering the friendship between the brothers, Xu Qing observed a few moments of silence...
Then he quickly put away the jade slips, got up and went out, and began to take on missions to earn military merit.
As time passed, Xu Qing was not sure whether the captain finally got the answer. His main focus these days was on military exploits.
There are many tasks including patrolling, searching, arresting and assisting.
Shanhezi, Wang Chen and Ye Ling helped Mang a lot here. They belong to different departments. Whenever there is a task, no matter how big or small, they will call everyone together.
Occasionally Kong Xianglong would come over and everyone would complete the task together. In this way, although the military merits were shared, the speed of completion was astonishing.
Especially after Zixuan heard that Xu Qing was eager for military glory, he directly issued the order as the branch manager of the Eight Sects Alliance, so the sword holders who had come out of the Eight Sects Alliance over the years also helped.
After all, Xu Qing's position is that of the palace lord's accompanying letter. This status and the brilliance make many people willing to make friends with him.
Not to mention that everyone is in an alliance.
In the past, Xu Qing was too low-key and rarely had contact with others, so no one had this opportunity.
Nowadays, everyone is willing to give Zixuan's order, and few people will reject it if it is a simple act of kindness.
So in the end, Xu Qing could complete six or seven tasks almost every night.
Military merit naturally begins to increase. Even if the amount is not high, watching the military merit numbers continue to increase, a sense of satisfaction will still arise in the bottom of my heart.
Such crazy acceptance of tasks also made Xu Qing's reputation spread more and more in the county capital.
As for the Prison Department, Xu Qing would also go there during the day, and everything was as usual, and the little boy had no more problems.
Until this day half a month later, Xu Qing, who had just walked out of Ding Yi San Er, was about to continue to take on the mission, but before he could leave the Prison Department, his sword wielder's command sword sent an order from the Sword Holding Palace. .
"Xu Qing, come to the Sword Holding Palace immediately!"
The voice in Ling Jian's voice was very majestic, with a sense of indifference and solemnity, and it was even more unquestionable.
——
I'm safe for now...trembling.
Most of my friends are Yang.
Feeling a little panic
