At this time, Gu Zheng was already standing above Donglin Valley, carefully looking at everything at the bottom of the valley.
Although you can't see the end at first glance, you still find many strange things.
The exotic flowers and plants were swaying as usual, exuding an indescribable fragrance, and the clear stream was flowing crookedly along the canyon, rushing into the distance.
It's such a paradise scene. Looking at the ancient times, I didn't find a single animal, not even a fish, a bird, or even an insect.
It seemed quiet and very incompatible with the chaotic atmosphere outside the valley, as if they were two different worlds.
Suddenly, two leopard-like beasts sprang out from outside the valley. They seemed to be trying to escape, but ended up running into the valley in a panic.
As soon as they entered the valley, before taking two steps, the two beasts were suddenly shaken and stopped motionless.
After waiting for about a breath, the two beasts slowly walked forward and lay down in a sea of flowers.
I saw that the flowers around the beast all turned their hearts toward the middle, and their petals gathered together, as if they were watching their prey.
The ground surged, a dense rhizome emerged from the ground, and lightning struck the bewildered beast.
Unexpectedly, under the weak and feeble flowers, they are as thick and thin as a child's calf.
In the blink of an eye, only the skeletons and furs of the two beasts were left, buried under the sea of flowers.
Looking at the peaceful valley bottom again, it seemed that everything that had just happened was an illusion. Gu Zheng frowned, because he had discovered in just a short time that there seemed to be a trace of evil spirit, but it seemed to be mixed with a cold breath.
At the bottom of Guzheng Landing Valley, nothing can be seen from above. Only by going in personally can you know what is going on here.
When Gu Zheng stepped into Gu Zheng, he understood why the two beasts had lost consciousness just now, and the air was filled with an alluring aura, which was different from what he heard outside.
The former gives you an impulse to know the fragrance of flowers at a close distance, tempting you to step into this charming trap. Once ordinary people or beasts with low cultivation are really attracted, life and death will not be controlled by you.
Gu Zheng stretched his left hand forward, and a hazy yellow light surrounded him, blocking those weird auras. After thinking about it, a gourd hung silently on his waist.
It's better to be careful in this weird place.
Gu Zheng deliberately stopped at the place where the sea of flowers was. These things seemed to know that Gu Zheng was not to be trifled with, so they pretended to be stupid and remained motionless.
Moving forward along the stream, toward the center, Gu Zheng found that the colors of the surrounding flowers, plants and trees became more and more bright, and the air also had an irritating desire.
About ten minutes later, Gu Zheng stopped in front of a cave, and a substantial black mist loomed out from inside.
There are two ancient trees dozens of meters high standing in front of the door, constantly absorbing the black fog in the sky. Now there is only a person-wide path left at the door, and everything else is tightly blocked by the branches of the ancient trees. If you want to
In the past, we still had to break through these two blackened ancient trees.
From the crown of the tree to the exposed roots below, everything is black. The branches all over the sky are constantly waving to block any invading enemies, and they are obviously blackened.
Gu Zheng casually pulled out a high-level fairy sword. The two trees in front of him had reached the stage of refining Qi. Unfortunately, they were completely unconscious now. The black mist looked very strange.
"In this way, it might be true." Gu Zheng thought in his mind.
A ray of sword light flew toward the ancient tree. The ancient tree also knew the crisis in front of it, so it piled up layers of defense in front of it. Countless branches blocked the road, trying to block the imminent crisis.
Unfortunately, it was of no use. In the face of absolute power, this method was useless. The sharp sword was as easy as passing through a piece of cloth, directly piercing the ancient tree.
"Whoa, whoa." Gu Zheng controlled the flying sword and began to cut the tree bridges and branches up and down.
The whole ancient tree trembled, and the branches flying all over the sky were flying randomly, trying to interrupt the weapon that was hurting itself. Unfortunately, the flying sword directly cut through everything it encountered, and many black branches fell from the sky.
.
For an infected alien species like this, it is useless to destroy it at all. It must be dismembered to a certain extent to avoid its resurgence.
Soon the ancient tree stopped moving. In order to save trouble, Gu Zheng looked at the ancient tree next to him that was still arrogant and used the same method to clean it up.
Cleaning up this kind of ancient tree, which was only used to prevent some accidents, did not delay Gu Zheng for a few minutes, and he walked in along the passage.
The two ancient trees behind them gradually began to wither and crack, completely shattered into debris from top to bottom, and completely wiped from this world.
As soon as he entered the cave, Gu Zheng found that the passage was unusually large and not as narrow as the cave entrance seemed. The further inside, the thicker the black mist became.
It's a pity that in front of people's books, they are immediately scattered when they get close to them.
"Ah, bastard, you will not die well, I curse you."
The sound continued to echo in the cave, and there was a terrifying atmosphere inside.
The sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling came from inside, and there was irrepressible pain in the sound.
Gu Zheng quickened his pace, and after turning a corner, his eyes suddenly opened up.
In a wide hall, there is a huge fox demon at the end, wailing constantly.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" The sound of iron ropes came in the air. It turned out that the fox demon was directly locked to the wall by four iron chains. It passed through the pipa and then back through its lower legs and was fixed on the wall.
As the fox demon struggled, a burst of black light flashed from the iron chain, and the wailing sound from the ancient kiln became even more intense without a flash.
The fox demon looked a little bad, with black smoke emitting from all over his body, and the smoke dispersed along the passage.
It turns out that the source is here, but who locked this fox demon here? Gu Zheng thought in confusion.
The fox demon did not notice that a person was hiding in this place.
Gradually, the fox demon stopped struggling, and his whole body hung there decadently, motionless, but kept muttering in his mouth.
"Trash, everything is trash."
"Master, you can still find ways." A crisp voice sounded from the corner.
"What method? It has been more than ten years. What have you done? What else can you do besides wasting time?" The fox demon looked at the corner fiercely.
There was a figure kneeling there, shivering, seemingly terrified of his master's current state.
"Jie Jie Jie, don't worry, if I can't survive you will be dead." The fox demon laughed horribly.
The figure in the corner was shaking even more violently.
"Ahem." Gu Zheng felt that he should go out, but they didn't notice after standing here for a long time.
"Who?" The fox demon suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Zheng with his scarlet eyes, as if he wanted to eat Gu Zheng in one bite.
Gu Zheng stood in front of the fox demon with a carefree look. He didn't know who locked this fox demon in the early stage of Jinxian here, but now the weak aura of the fox demon showed that the ancient kiln was now strong, and he was probably at the top level.
There is no strength either.
This allowed Gu Zheng to stand in the middle with no fear. Of course, Renshu was still hiding beside him. Who knew whether this fox demon would jump over the wall and resort to any tricks.
"You don't need to know who I am. What I want to know is why you have demonic energy in your body." Gu Zheng said unceremoniously.
When the fox demon saw that he was an immortal from the human race, he was completely in despair. Now he could easily get rid of any immortal or above. Moreover, the aura on the other side was not as weak as his own at the peak, and could even be stronger.
It’s no wonder that the fox demon is not so desperate. Nowadays, the number of people and the number of demons has disappeared. Since that war, everyone among the people has been shouting to fight the demons. Although there are also witch clans, basically no one can see the witch clan now.
What's more, monsters have always been treasures for human cultivators.
"Huh?" Gu Zheng was not so polite to the fox demon. Seeing that the other party did not cooperate, he felt a little angry. You must know that he is not even afraid of Da Luo, let alone this little golden fairy.
The fox demon didn't pay any attention to Gu Zheng. For him, dying sooner or later would be the same, not to mention that he was in a worse state than death and couldn't even commit suicide.
Gu Zheng's expression changed, and he wanted to teach this evil fox demon a lesson.
I saw a figure standing in front of Gu Zheng, with his hands open.
"You are not allowed to hurt my master." His voice was a little cowardly, but his tone was firm.
Gu Zheng looked at the trembling girl in front of him, dressed in an antique green shirt, her young face full of nervousness.
The girl knew that the other party was not easy to mess with, and was even more powerful than her master, but when she thought about how she relied on her master's help to survive, she would not allow others to hurt her master even if she risked her life.
But he didn't expect what he could do with his small cultivation. Even if the fox demon is so weak now, he can't compare with it.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and the girl flew to the side as if she had been hit by a high speed, leaving only blood flying in the air that could not dissipate in time.
Just as Gu Zheng took a step forward, a weak voice came from beside him
"Please, don't hurt my master." The girl stood up tremblingly, with a wisp of blood hanging from the corner of her mouth.
"Please, I'm willing to do whatever you want." The girl stood in front of Gu Zheng again, her pale face covered with tears like dew.
The girl recalled in a trance that she was seriously injured, but was rescued by her master, who then taught her how to practice in human form.
"I don't need your pity, get out of my way." The fox demon roared and began to struggle violently. Dots of black blood spilled from his shoulders to the ground, corroding holes.
Gu Zheng knew the power of his finger very well, and it would definitely put her into a coma.
"Please. I am willing to work hard for you. Please don't hurt my master." The girl finally couldn't hold on anymore. The injuries in her body made the girl unable to stand up at all. She knelt down in front of Gu Zheng and put her hands on the ground.
, but still looked up at Gu Zheng and begged.
"Xue'er, go away, it's useless." The fox demon remembered that he had taken him in out of pity, thinking that he had comforted himself every time since he came here, and he tried his best to make things difficult for him and never bothered him.
Pass.
Unfortunately, the girl had already passed out.
The fox demon's voice is not as sharp as before, and it looks even older.
"Don't hurt her. You know she is a good child. If you have any questions, ask me."
The fox demon's face was full of tranquility, as if he had seen through life and death. "Tell me everything you know."
Gu Zheng glanced at the bottom of her feet. There was still a faint golden color on the girl's body, a thin layer that was looming. You would not be able to spot it unless you were careful.
These are acquired merits, and everyone knows how to get them, selflessly helping others, but no one has selfish motives, so it can be seen how difficult it is to get them. Only those with pure hearts and good intentions can get them.
And for something as substantial as this, I don’t know how much good things have to be saved to be realized.
So Gu Zheng didn't hit her hard just now, he just made her unable to move.
"What I want to know is why you have demonic aura on your body." You must know that demonic aura is generally found only in Shura, and the Shura tribe is generally very bloodthirsty, causing a bloody storm wherever they go.
If Gu Zheng finds out, he will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it.
"A Shura tribesman imprisoned me." The fox demon said helplessly, "Do you know why?"
The fox demon continued to smile bitterly, "Because there is a demon grass under me, and I have no time."
Gu Zheng's expression also changed, and it turned out to be a rare demon grass.
The reason why it is rare is not only that there is a life of a great demon behind each demon grass, but also that this grass species is particularly difficult to find.
Demonic grass, demonic grass only grows in places with demonic aura. The conditions are very simple, but also very difficult.
It is just an ordinary grass, and after being influenced by evil spirits for many years, it can gradually turn into a seed.
Theoretically speaking, since there were many monsters in the ancient world, there should also be a lot of this monster grass.
But it's not that simple. So far, Gu Zheng knows that there are only more than twenty demon species, and even fewer demon grasses, only appearing three times.
After you have a demon seed, you need a big demon to sacrifice. In theory, the lowest strength of the big demon is the Celestial Immortal, and the highest is the Daluo Jinxian. However, which one of the Daluo Jinxian is a simple person, you can succeed.
There is also a high chance that planting will fail. It may be due to poor suitability or other reasons.
Therefore, the Golden Immortal level is the best. Even if the effect is not perfect, it is still effective for Da Luo.
After obtaining the demon grass and planting it in the body of the big demon, it will take at least several decades to mature. The demon grass will extract life and demon energy from the body of the demon like threads every moment, and the pain will be worse than that in hell.
The torture was even more painful, and life was worse than death.
As long as it is planted for a certain period of time, it will soon become one with the body, and the whole body will be covered with rhizomes. Even if you take out the demon grass, the demon will die soon, and its soul will be destroyed. It is so domineering and powerful.
It hurts Tianhe, only those who are depraved dare to do this.
But the effect is also very extraordinary. It is aimed at the immortals to Daluo, which can make your foundation more solid. Although the spiritual energy is very abundant in the ancient world, compared with the years of hard work, a piece of heavenly material and earthly treasure is just enough.
It can make your cultivation progress rapidly, but it won't have a solid foundation at all.
It will take more time to consolidate! Many people sneer at this. As long as the cultivation level goes up, you will have more longevity, and it is worth spending more time to stabilize.
Is there any elixir with the same effect? Yes, it is more rare and hard to come by.
But for Gu Zheng, time is very precious. Your own realm is enough. As long as your body can keep up, breakthrough is not that difficult. However, it still takes time to consolidate. Otherwise, the foundation will be unstable, which will increase instability.
.
For example, I have more control over magic weapons with different powers, and I am more proficient in the application of magic. Even if I have to retrain, I will not give up my daily practice and deepen various experiences.
Gu Zheng has a deep understanding of this. Although he is careful every time he uses ingredients, and he also has the experience of knowing when is the best time, there is still a big gap.
In the future, we will have to pay for this for a longer period of time. Even though we know this, we still need it. Compared with the future, the past is more urgent.
Only with more longevity and stronger power can you protect yourself well and have the opportunity to obtain powerful magic weapons.
Therefore, many people in the prehistoric era were stuck at the peak for a long time, unable to make any progress.
It happened that Gu Zheng knew that he had a better way to use the medicine, but he had to be tempted.
"Then the Shura man is the culprit who imprisoned you. Do you know what he looks like?" Gu Zheng pondered for a moment.
Gu Zheng understood what the fox demon said that time was running out, because the demon grass was about to mature, and now he had to plunder the remaining life of the last fox demon to replenish himself.
Now the fox demon is just relying on his cultivation to hold on. It can be seen that he can't hold on for long, so the Shura will return here soon.
If the fox demon is willing to sacrifice himself, then Gu Zheng would not mind helping him resolve this grudge in the future.
The fox demon glanced at Gu Zheng gratefully, "I only know that he was wearing a black robe and drew a picture of a crow on his left eye. I was recuperating here before and was attacked by him. Otherwise, I would rather die."
It won’t be like this.”
The fox demon paused and continued: "Furthermore, he was hit by an unknown evil spell under my body. Now the wound is completely corrupted, and more and more poisonous smoke will come out of the body every day to remind the Shura people.
"
So hurry up, there is already a lot of movement now, it seems that this is the back-up man left by Shura, maybe he will come back in the next moment.
"Do you have any last wishes?"
"I want you to protect that child for a while." The fox demon gently glanced at the girl who fainted on the ground. "That is my youngest apprentice, Xue'er."
Gu Zheng knew at a glance that this girl was actually a fox demon, and she had also taken a solid pill.
Otherwise, such a low level of cultivation would not be able to successfully transform.
"Yes" is just a matter of convenience, Gu Zheng agreed to the transaction
The fox demon looked around, thinking that he had once been glorious in the ancient world, and that he was reduced to such a state because of those damn Shura people.
"Damn, damn, I won't let you be proud in the end." The fox demon thought resentfully in his heart.
The fox demon gave the few things he had left to Gu Zheng, an antique jade pendant and several bottles of ordinary pills.
The fox demon didn't know where he took it out from, and kept looking at the jade pendant with nostalgic eyes.
"This jade is crystal clear and was given by an elder of my clan. Although it is very ordinary, it has the symbol of my clan on it. Now I am going to give some things to my apprentice Xue'er, and I hope you can pass them on to her."
