Chapter 385: Do Not Look Directly

Xu Qing felt something was wrong.

He had looked at many places before, and even the existences in the depths of the Forbidden Zone could not detect his gaze. After all, he was now merged with the taboo magic treasure, the bronze ancient mirror.

It was better to say that the bronze ancient mirror was looking, rather than him looking.

And the existence of taboo magic treasures, being able to become the foundation of a great sect, naturally had its terrifying and powerful aspects. Therefore, the strange entities in the Forbidden Zone were also difficult to detect being watched, and others were even more so.

Xu Qing looked around a circle and didn't encounter anyone who felt abnormal.

Only Huang Yan.

At this moment, Huang Yan on the Dharma ship looked up, gazing at the sky.

After blinking, he coughed, put on a look as if he were looking at the scenery, lowered his head in a way he thought was very natural, and continued to knead the Second Senior Sister's legs.

But this scene, in Xu Qing's eyes, was full of flaws.

Xu Qing silently withdrew his gaze and didn't look much, but at this moment he was very clear that Huang Yan had secrets.

As for what specific secrets, Xu Qing couldn't see, and he didn't want to delve into them.

After all, in this world, many people had their own secrets. Huang Yan had them, the Captain had them, Master had them, and he himself had them.

Why dig to the bottom? As long as they knew they were harmless to each other, that was enough.

Xu Qing's mood calmed down, his gaze moved away, looking at other directions, including the Corpse Forbidden Land near the Sea Corpse Clan.

The Corpse Forbidden Land was very special, a bit different from the Huang Forbidden Land.

Although both were Forbidden Lands, one was on the shore, and one was under the sea.

The Corpse Forbidden Land located under the sea was shrouded in thick black mist, and the range was very large. It was unclear whether there were islands inside, but the foreign matter there was incomparably thick, and the seawater was even more so.

Under the influence of the Corpse Prohibition, undead and skeletal remains would occasionally appear on the surrounding sea surface; all sorts of eerie events occurred frequently.

On weekdays, passing ships would not approach the Corpse Forbidden Land, and at most, they would reach the location of the Sea Corpse Clan.

Xu Qing didn't look at the core of the Corpse Forbidden Land under the sea, nor did he look into the depths of the black mist. He just swept across the edge and looked toward the Wanggu Continent.

It was still the same principle, and he did not gaze at any major force.

He understood that these places could not be looked at. Once looked at, perhaps he would be detected and bring about some unnecessary catastrophes and suspicions.

In addition, he also knew why Master reminded him, because he now had a strong feeling that with his current state, if he looked at existences that shouldn't be looked at... he might even die suddenly.

For example, when his gaze swept from the Forbidden Sea, he felt that there was an area in the deep sea that seemed to have terrifying fluctuations.

He restrained his curiosity and even endured not looking up at the sun in the sky and the God's Remnant Face high above.

When his gaze was finally completely withdrawn, he suddenly wanted to see himself. "I don't know what I look like when others look at me with taboo magic treasures."

【To be honest, I've been using Wild Fruit Reading to catch up on books recently. The source switching is fast, the reading tone is good, and the Android and Apple versions are both available.】

Xu Qing thought of this and tried to look.

The next instant, he saw the Sea Corpse Clan, saw the huge bronze ancient mirror floating on the Sea Corpse Clan, and even saw himself sitting cross-legged in the very center of the ancient mirror.

As the mirror surface rotated, his body remained cross-legged, no matter how the mirror surface tilted, it was as if it were solidified on it, not moving a bit.

This feeling was very strange, different from looking in a mirror, as if the soul flew up and looked at the physical body in mid-air.

Xu Qing concentrated his mind and focused his gaze entirely on his physical body.

The first thing he saw was a face that was extremely delicate, as beautiful as a demon.

Xu Qing didn't care and continued to observe. Under his gaze, his physical body became a bit transparent.

He saw the meridians in his body, saw all the shining Dharma apertures, and also saw his own sea of consciousness.

And those three Heavenly Palaces in the sea of consciousness, even if two existed in the life mist, could still be seen clearly by him.

Everything was clear, even the Ghost Emperor Mountain was reflected in it, but the purple moon could not be seen.

However, the place where it was located showed a state of being occupied.

After comparing with the sea of consciousness, a silhouette was formed.

Outsiders could see that there was something strange there through this silhouette like a shadow.

There was also the Poison Forbidden Pill in the third Tiangong, which was blurry, unable to see specifically, and also occupied the position.

Only the shadow and the purple crystal were truly unable to be seen, not even occupying a position, as if they didn't exist.

Xu Qing was thoughtful.

He even saw the figure of the Golden Crow existing outside his body. It was circling invisibly, and at the same time, there was a broken sword shadow in his sea of consciousness.

That was the Emperor Sword he had comprehended a part of.

Gazing at these, Xu Qing pondered and tried to control the shadow to cover it.

He didn't want to expose so much. Now, with the help of the bronze ancient mirror's field of vision, Xu Qing began to adjust himself.

First, he used the shadow's power to cover the two Heavenly Palaces in the life mist, completely hiding them in the life mist until he couldn't see any clues no matter how he checked through the ancient mirror, and only then was he satisfied.

Then, after thinking, Xu Qing used the shadow to disperse into a curtain and covered his Ghost Emperor Mountain, making it disappear from his field of vision.

There were also the purple moon and the Poison Forbidden Pill. Although these two were not in his sight, the sense of occupation was very clear compared to the surroundings.

Xu Qing thought for a moment and simply controlled the shadow to cover them all.

After doing all this, he checked carefully again and confirmed it was correct, only then did he withdraw his gaze. The next

instant, Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged on the bronze mirror, opened his eyes.

"So, this is a taboo magic treasure." Xu Qing muttered.

He felt that Master said a lot. He needed to adapt to the operation of taboo magic treasures. If he didn't have such an experience and only understood from the side, it was difficult to truly feel the power and specialty of taboo magic treasures.

"Although I don't know the specific function of the taboo in the Fenghai County Capital, I think that even if it can't be seen as clearly as the ancient mirror, it would be extremely difficult to hide under its spiritual sense."

Xu Qing pondered for a moment, closed his eyes, and continued to comprehend the operation of the taboo magic treasure.

Just like this, time passed slowly, and soon a month passed.

During this month, Xu Qing felt the taboo magic treasure every day and also gazed at himself many times, continuously adjusting until he reached near perfection, and only then did he truly feel at ease.

Now he had great confidence that after he entered the County Capital, even if he was scanned by the spiritual sense of the County Capital's taboo artifact spirit, he wouldn't expose any secrets.

Everything that was seen was what he wanted to expose.

Another gain was his familiarity with the spiritual sense perception of taboo magic treasures. At this moment, Xu Qing could instantly distinguish whether the spiritual sense gathering on his body came from a person or a magic treasure.

In addition, he also understood why taboo magic treasures.

Every time they were used, they formed foreign matter. It was really because the power of taboo magic treasures was too great, and they absorbed a huge amount of spiritual energy when used.

The foreign matter of spiritual energy would naturally accumulate in the taboo magic treasure itself and was extremely difficult to dissipate, until the accumulation reached the limit, becoming a waste treasure.

Therefore, any great sect or great family would not use taboo magic treasures excessively, so as to extend the usage time.

This made most taboo magic treasures divided into two states: full activation and daily operation. When fully activated, their power would reach the maximum.

This situation was generally used to resist external enemies or launch attacks.

On weekdays, daily operation was the main thing.

However, even with daily operation, there would still be a period of weakness. This time was not fixed, and according to the difference of each taboo magic treasure, one needed to be good at calculation to master it.

After understanding all this, Xu Qing's understanding of the job of Treasure Keeper became increasingly deep, and he looked at more and more places, but he stopped at the right point every time and still restrained himself.

But even so, it was inevitable to encounter some dangerous situations.

He once saw endless ghost cities in the sea, where there were countless strange entities, as if they formed a world of their own.

He also once saw a six-legged giant holding a huge fork in the depths of the sea, carrying astonishing divine fluctuations, as if patrolling, setting off sea waves and walking.

He also saw the Sea Lizard Ancestor. Every scale on its astonishing body contained terrifying power, swimming like a dragon, with vast divine power.

And there were eyes growing on the seabed, one after another.

These eyes were mostly closed, but the moment they opened, they would often form huge vortexes on the sea, setting off sea waves, earth-shattering.

The Forbidden Sea was full of dangers and unknowns.

Besides these living things, Xu Qing also saw abyss cracks.

Some existed on the seabed, and some existed in the Forbidden Zone of the Nanhuang Continent.

These abyss cracks emitted pitch-black mist, and while unfathomable, they would also emit shrill roars like ghost holes.

Even one night, Xu Qing saw countless souls.

Those souls floated up from the direction of the Nanhuang Continent, walking in line in the sky.

And at the front of the line was a figure holding a whip and growing two horns.

Under the driving of this figure, the souls flew into a door that suddenly opened in the sky, and what followed were bursts of chewing sounds.

That door, Xu Qing only looked at it for one glance, and his mind roared, almost losing his form and spirit. The whole person was directly interrupted from the state of merging with the bronze ancient mirror and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

That time, he rested for five or six days before continuing to merge into the bronze ancient mirror with lingering fear.

Even though he was careful enough, he still saw a temple group on a small island half a month later.

It was not the Taicang Dao Temple, but a temple worshiping gods, located on a remote small island shrouded in mist.

Xu Qing's eyes stung after just one glance, and he didn't dare to continue.

All these things made him understand the world better and also deeply understood Master's reminder.

This taboo magic treasure, becoming his Treasure Keeper, would be extremely dangerous if he didn't restrain himself.

Therefore, in the following days, Xu Qing didn't look at unknown places and more often studied the operating laws of taboo magic treasures, while also checking the surroundings on a small scale.

Until there was only half a month left before he was to set off for the Fenghai County Capital, on this day, Xu Qing, as usual, checked the surroundings with the help of the bronze ancient mirror. When he swept across the edge of the Corpse Forbidden Land, Xu Qing's expression stirred.

He saw Zhao Zhongheng and saw Ding Xiaohai.

These two were currently at the edge of the Corpse Forbidden Land, desperately controlling the Dharma ship beneath them in the thick black mist, fleeing outward.

Behind them, the mist rolled violently, and there were even vortexes forming on the sea surface, with countless withered hands floating out to grab them.

Even more, a large amount of black hair spread out in the mist, strand by strand, wanting to weave them inside.

In imminent danger. ===== CHAPTER 386 =====
