Outside of Time [Webnovel]

1051 Xu Qing’s Forgetfulness Domain

In the highest hall of the Moon Rebel Hall, the captain’s voice was filled with confusion, nervousness, and anxiety.

“How could this happen? My past life’s body is incomplete now. Little Qing, do you know how important the kidney is for a man?”

“My kidney, am I not a complete man anymore?”

“The most important thing is that the one I lost was specially refined by me in my previous life. It’s extremely significant and precious.”

On the gate, the small totem formed by the captain had a look of sadness and resentment, gritting his teeth as if he had lost a beloved one.

“It must be some despicable scoundrel coveting my precious kidney, taking it for himself to conquer everything! Hateful, hateful, hateful!”

“If this matter cannot be resolved, it would be fine if it only affected me, but it will impact our major plan. My previous life’s body cannot be missing any part…”

The captain was clearly anxious.

When Xu Qing heard this, his expression was a little strange. His mind instantly recalled the clay fox he had encountered in a canyon in the west of the Moon Worship.

At that time, the clay fox had shown a kidney to him…

At the thought of this, Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, but in order to confirm, he spoke in a low voice.

“Eldest Senior Brother, how many kidneys did you have in your previous life?”

“Two. I’m a human and was also a human in my previous life. Don’t humans all have two? You have three?” The captain sized up Xu Qing.

Xu Qing didn’t care about the captain’s gaze and patiently asked another question.

“Can you sense the other one?”

“I can. The other kidney is in a divine son nest in the east. Although it has become fertilizer, I can clearly sense it.”

After saying that, the captain reacted and his eyes revealed an intense light. He then looked at Xu Qing nervously and expectantly.

“Little Qing, why are you asking me this? Could it be that you’ve seen my kidney before?”

Xu Qing didn’t say anything and carefully recalled the kidney that the clay fox had taken out back then. His silence made the captain more anxious, fearing the worst.

“Eldest Senior Brother, the kidney you lost, was it golden, crescent-shaped, with some runic marks on it?”

Xu Qing looked at the captain.

The captain was instantly excited. His totem shuddered and he exclaimed.

“That’s right, that’s right. It’s golden. Little Qing, have you seen it before?”

Xu Qing thought about it and told the captain about his encounter with the clay fox.

The more the captain listened, the more his emotions fluctuated. Finally, he gasped.

“You mean that the clay fox wants you to eat my kidney to nourish your body?”

“I didn’t eat.”

Xu Qing calmly spoke.

“You might as well have eaten it. That way, I could have taken it out. What do we do now…” The captain’s heart was a little chaotic and complicated as he let out a long sigh.

“Also, Little Qing, this clay fox isn’t simple. I actually couldn’t sense my kidney when it was with her. This in itself already shows that this person is extraordinary.”

“In my memories of my previous life, there was no such existence. According to your description, she was sitting in a shrine. This is the layout of a god!”

Xu Qing’s gaze froze. He had sensed the mysteriousness of the clay fox back then.

“In addition, she can take out so many precious things and even said that the kidney was given to her by someone else. If that’s the case, it further confirms that this fox is definitely not ordinary. Maybe she is a god?”

When the captain said this, he trembled again and revealed grief and indignation.

“If she’s really a god, where did she come from? Why did she take my kidney… Sigh, it’s all my fault. Back then, I refined my kidney too well and actually attracted the attention of a god!”

The captain had mixed feelings. There was helplessness and indignation, mixed with some pride. In the end, he looked at Xu Qing eagerly.

“Little Qing, how about…”

Before the captain could finish speaking, Xu Qing immediately interrupted him.

“Eldest Senior Brother, so be it if you have one less. Don’t you still have one left? In my heart, you’re still the complete Eldest Senior Brother.”

As he spoke, Xu Qing turned to leave. He knew what the captain was trying to say.

“Wait a moment, Junior Brother!”

The captain became even more nervous and hurriedly called out.

“Junior Brother, this is a major matter that concerns us. Why don’t you sacrifice yourself? If that clay fox is really a god, I think you won’t suffer a loss!”

Xu Qing ignored him and walked toward the altar, wanting to leave.

“Little Qing, this concerns all living beings in the Moon Worship Region!”

“The most important thing is, this concerns my future! Having one of my kidneys in the hands of an unknown person is a huge risk. Without this kidney, I’m incomplete, and I won’t be able to ultimately reunite my body!”

The captain was anxious and his voice was hurried. He seldom acted like this.

Xu Qing knew that his eldest senior brother was really flustered. Hence, he stopped in his tracks and hesitated. Recalling the scene of the clay fox, he had a faint feeling that the other party seemed to have deliberately taken out that kidney for him to see.

“Little Qing, there’s a high chance that the clay fox let you know on purpose. However, she didn’t have any ill intentions toward you at that time. I think she wanted you to look for her…”

“Alright, if you really don’t want to, let me bear all this suffering. However, the promise I made to you back then, to accompany you in this lifetime, may not be fulfilled…”

The captain let out a long sigh and his expression was filled with loneliness.

When Xu Qing heard this, he nodded.

“Mm, thank you, Eldest Senior Brother.”

As he spoke, he walked onto the altar.

The captain was stunned and hurriedly smiled awkwardly.

“Junior Brother, actually, that’s not what I meant. I think there is still a chance left.”

Xu Qing, who had walked to the altar, cast a helpless glance at the captain.

“I’ll give it a try.”

“You are a good brother!” The captain was thrilled. With the assurance from Xu Qing, he felt a great sense of relief, believing that with Xu Qing’s help, he could get his kidney back.

Xu Qing sighed and returned to reality.

When he appeared, he was already in the back room of the apothecary. Just as he was about to think about how to deal with the clay fox, a trance-like expression appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. After a moment, he furrowed his brow and rubbed the center of his forehead.

“How should I trigger this forgetfulness domain?”

Xu Qing closed his eyes and pondered for a while. After that, his consciousness entered D132 again. He saw that his nascent soul and the god’s finger were no longer touching each other, and there was a gap between them.

Xu Qing fell silent and decided to give it another try. Hence, he controlled his nascent soul to continue walking. After touching the finger, his expression became dazed again.

Just like that, time flowed by. Xu Qing was still studying his forgotten memories. Every time his nascent soul and the finger touched, the merging of fortune and misfortune would leave Xu Qing in a state of confusion.

It wasn’t until both sides separated after a certain period of time that Xu Qing’s daze would gradually fade away.

As for everyone in the apothecary, everything seemed normal.

Only the heir’s expression became increasingly peculiar.

At that moment, he was sitting there and holding a teacup as he looked at Nether Fairy.

Ning Yan was wiping the ground and Ling’er was settling scores. Wu Jianwu, who was at the door, was also shouting. Li Youfei was hugging his sword and staring at everyone who came and went.

Nether Fairy was still boiling water.

However, Ning Yan usually only needed to mop the floor seven or eight times a day, but today he had already done it more than fifty times, seemingly unaware of it himself.

Ling Er’s bookkeeping, the same accounts, had been calculated over and over again…

Wu Jianwu had repeated his poems multiple times throughout the day.

Li Youfei stood still, so his action didn’t seem to have any abnormality, and he was completely unaware of all this abnormality.

As for Nether Fairy, she was very confused because she noticed that the water was actually boiling, and the teacup on the heir’s table was mostly full, not requiring her to do anything.

However, unlike the others, after she sensed that something was wrong, a hint of struggle appeared in her eyes. At the next instant, her entire person trembled and her breathing became hurried. She suddenly looked at the surrounding people.

“What’s going on!”

Nether Fairy revealed a solemn expression. She looked at the heir before looking at the back room where Xu Qing was.

‘There’s a strange power coming from the place that kid is at that can cause me to lose my memory?’

All of this caused Nether Fairy’s heart to tremble.

“This is the 95th time you’ve woken up in the past few days. As the days pass, your waking time becomes slower.”

The heir composedly spoke.

“The others didn’t wake up once. However, that girl, Ling’er, is quite extraordinary. She woke up 15 times.”

Nether Fairy gasped. Even she was shocked by such a bizarre expression. When the others heard these words, they were also stunned.

Ning Yan’s eyes widened as he looked at the ground and then at the rag in his hand.

“I… I mopped it countless times in the past few days?”

Wu Jianwu was also stunned. He found it unbelievable that he could repeat a poem.

Ling’er’s mind shook and Li Youfei was at a loss.

Nether Fairy couldn’t help but speak in a low voice.

“Senior, is this caused by Xu Qing’s cultivation?”

“That’s right. This is the initial manifestation of the domain of forgetfulness. He is already walking on this path. Every time he studies it, everything around him will be affected, experiencing amnesia like him.”

The heir took a sip of the tea.

“As for your current memories, when Xu Qing ends his cultivation this time, he will forget his research. You guys will also forget all of this.”

Everyone gasped. Li Youfei trembled and suddenly spoke.

“Senior… I, I often lose something on me. Did young master refine pills again?”

The heir looked at Li Youfei and nodded.

“He forgot. He considered it was his first time refining, but in reality… he has already refined the pills from you a hundred times.”

When Li Youfei heard this, his body softened. Just as endless fear rose in his heart, the heir’s gaze landed outside the door and he composedly spoke.

“We have a guest.”

Wu Jianwu, who was at the door, instinctively perked up. When he looked at the street, an old man silently walked over.

The old man looked solemn, exuding an air of seriousness and antiquity. After he appeared, he took a few steps and arrived outside the apothecary. His expression was respectful, as if on a pilgrimage, and he bowed profoundly toward the inside.

“Tian Nanzi of the Moon Rebel Hall requests to see the heir!”

This Tian Nanzi was none other than the fourth hall master!

This was the first time he had come to visit since he came to the Bitter Life Mountain Range. Originally, he wanted to come here to greet the heir as soon as possible. However, in the past seven to eight days, other than the cultivators under him setting up camp, he suddenly had other things to do.

The reason for this matter was Master Pill Nine of the Moon Rebel Hall.

Seven days ago, he made a trip to the Moon Rebel Hall and sought an audience outside Master Pill Nine’s temple. Finally, he saw the statue of Master Pill Nine waking up.

So, he politely and sincerely asked if the Master could sell him more curse subduing pills and abandoned behind a method of communication of the Moon Rebel Hall.

Master Pill Nine agreed.

Every day after that, Master Pill Nine transmitted his voice to him many times, asking him to collect the medicine. There were times when he received messages seven or eight times a day and, on other occasions, dozens of times.

Although he didn’t understand why there were so many messages, each time he received the pills, he felt extremely uplifted. Many of the cultivators under his command whose curses had intensified were able to resolve their crises, and with his personal intervention, he stabilized their injuries.

This was why he was delayed. He was finally free today and came to pay his respects.
