Gu Zheng thought for a while and quickly smoothed out the general story of the matter. First of all, even though he was unconscious, he still killed Hualong. It should be the final immortal-killing gourd that made the contribution.
Then it might be the opponent's final counterattack, and he was protected by the water drop necklace given to him by the elder. As a result, the necklace disappeared, and the necklace that concealed his aura might have been damaged and lost in the fight. It was so intense at the time that I was concentrating on thinking.
While fighting against Hualong, maybe he didn't pay attention.
Then he fell into a near-death state. Some of the feelings of the previous near-death state were still vivid in his mind. He could think that if Pan Xuan did not choose to save himself in the end, then he would definitely not be able to escape death.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng patted his chest. He was so scared that he almost died like this. Now that the disguise necklace has been destroyed, he can pretend to be a Shura. When he meets his own people, he can also use the method given to him by Xiaochong.
Come hide, it's great.
Now that his injuries are so serious, he needs urgent treatment. Now that Pan Xuan is treating him as a gang, he can't drag his seriously injured body away alone. It just so happens that he follows her and waits until the injury is healed.
Pan Xuan looked at Gu Zheng, who had a thoughtful expression on his face, and his heart was pounding. It was rare for the Shura tribe to have such a handsome young man. This was his true appearance, not a cover-up. He could tell at a glance that he was a master of illusion.
Especially because he is so young and outstanding. Although Mr. Feng also meets the requirements, he is really cunning and cunning, and Pan Xuan doesn't like him from the bottom of her heart.
Thinking of why Gu Zheng wore a mask before, he also gave his own reasons, fearing that his acquaintances would recognize him and reveal his secret. Such a handsome man must be a young man who just came back from outside. No wonder he hadn't seen it before.
Pan Xuan's eyes were confused for a while, and his eyes were watery, and his cheeks were blushing. If the other person had a good temperament, he would actually be a good match for him.
Pan Xuan was petrified by her own thoughts. This was herself. Why couldn't she control herself when she saw him? What if the other party looked down on her and disliked her for not being young? Pan Xuan complained to herself for the first time.
Although I am very confident in my figure and appearance, my age is a flaw. I am no longer young. What if the other person likes a young girl?
But when she thought about the other person's life experience and the look in her eyes, Pan Xuan shuddered unconsciously. Although her own life experience was good, it was possible that the other person was even better. What if the other person already had a partner?
Xuan started to feel sorry for herself.
Shaking his head, he pushed these messy thoughts out of his head and discussed them later.
"Thank you, thank you for saving my life." Gu Zheng's eyes became clear. No matter what, it was the other party who saved his life. Even if the enemy did not know his true identity, Gu Zheng would still be grateful.
"Haha, it should be. Has your identity been exposed? Will you go back in the future?" Pan Xuan asked.
"Probably not, but it's not ruled out." Gu Zheng pondered for a moment and gave an ambiguous answer.
"Well, where are you going next?"
"My main focus now is to recover from my injuries. I don't have any other plans." Gu Zheng said what was in his heart.
"That couldn't be better." Pan Xuan blurted out
"What, how come it's better?" This time it was Gu Zheng's turn to look puzzled.
"Well, here I am, I just happened to be delivering something, please come with me." Pan Xuan suddenly thought of her mission. Originally, she was just going there to find a partner, but now she has an even more powerful ancient dispute.
Then there is no need for it, but I still have something to send, so I can’t give it up halfway.
"No problem, it's just because of my injury." Gu Zheng said that he can go anywhere at this stage.
"It's okay. The place we want to go to is far away. At worst, we can walk slowly." Anyway, the other party is not in a hurry for this mission. It's mainly a batch of supplies. I can find a partner by the way. It doesn't matter if it's a little later.
"That's okay." Gu Zheng agreed readily, there was no problem at all.
"It's broken." Gu Zheng's expression suddenly changed, and he searched repeatedly on his body. His pen and gourd were gone, and he didn't know where they were.
"What's wrong?" Pan Xuan asked strangely, watching Gu Zheng's hands constantly reaching out to fumble for something.
"My magic weapons are all gone. When you rescued me, could you see that one is in the shape of a gourd and the other is in the shape of a writing brush."
Gu Zheng's face was full of anxiety. Although the magic weapon was connected to his own mind, it was now empty in his body and he couldn't sense it. It would be terrible if someone picked it up and kept it in the space.
If that's the case, the Judge's Pen cannot be sensed by itself unless the other party takes it out for refining. The gourd is easy to say. It is Lu Ya's magic weapon. As long as you really want to find it, you can find it no matter where you are, but you can't lose it if you lose it.
Easy to explain.
Besides, it is currently in my own hands and can be considered as the strongest combat power. Even Da Luo's Hualong head was cut off and died at the hands of the gourd.
"Yes, I have put this away." Pan Xuan looked at the other party's anxious look and felt that those two magic weapons must be very important to him, so she quickly took out the writing brush, which was still dusty.
"Where's the gourd?" Gu Zheng felt relieved, but suddenly became nervous. He didn't know if the other party had seen it.
"That gourd, I seem to have an impression." Pan Xuan thought for a moment while dragging her chin, clapped her hands, and said to Gu Zheng, "When I was taking you away, it seemed to have fallen off halfway. I thought it was something unimportant.
, I didn’t pick it up, that thing is quite important to you, right?”
Pan Xuan said embarrassedly, that thing looked so inconspicuous, she would have picked it up if she had known it.
"It is indeed very important. Can we go back and look for it?" Gu Zheng looked at Pan Xuan with a hopeful look on his face, hoping that she could take him back, otherwise he would cry if someone picked him up.
"I forgot where I was." Pan Xuan's voice became lower and lower, "I sometimes get lost when I'm walking. I always go wrong for a long time before I look around, and the route has changed a long time ago."
Pan Xuan didn't remember the route. The big trees all looked the same. She was a bit of a road nerd, and the place where she fell was not a place with obvious characteristics. Let alone her. If she went wrong, Gu Zheng wouldn't be able to remember it.
live.
"It's okay. I'll look for it when I recover." Gu Zheng looked at Pan Xuan who looked guilty, and he didn't blame her. At least the other party saved him, so he could only hope that no one would pick it up.
"Oh, here's this for you." Pan Xuan lowered her head and handed it to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng didn't even look at it. He felt depressed. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to take it back, but he accidentally held Pan Xuan's palm.
As soon as he touched it, Gu Zheng felt that his skin was delicate and smooth, with a bit of warmth, which made him feel relaxed and happy, and he wished he could touch it a few more times.
Of course, Gu Zheng quickly let go and pulled back a little before taking out the pen from his soft and boneless hand and taking it over. He felt a little embarrassed and felt that he wanted to take advantage of her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Gu Zheng explained.
If anyone else dared to do this, Pan Xuan would have slapped him in the face and told him how to behave, but this time surprisingly he didn't make any other moves, and just replied calmly.
"It's okay, I was careless." If this tone were known to others, a lot of people's jaws would definitely be frightened. When did she become so easy to talk to?
However, Gu Zheng felt that she was quite generous and did not have the fussy and fussy feeling of others.
Next, Gu Zheng and Pan Xuan stopped for two days, mainly because Gu Zheng needed to recuperate his body. During the period, Gu Zheng took out the green liquid Ji Yi had given him before, and there was still some left, so he drank it all.
But this time the injury was too serious. Although all the external injuries had healed, Gu Zheng probably drank all the green liquid and it still couldn't speed up the progress of the injury. The main reason was that the internal injuries were too serious and were worse than the last time with good medicine.
many.
Even though Gu Zheng looks very normal now, he gives people the impression that he is at the peak of the Golden Immortal. But in fact, he cannot beat the Gu Zheng who comes in the Golden Immortal stage. It is just bluffing people.
Pan Xuan was normal for Gu Zheng to take out the green liquid. After waiting patiently for two days, the two of them set off together.
Due to the ancient dispute, the speed of the two of them was much slower, but there was nothing to worry about. This place was already close to the middle of the central forest. In addition, due to the withdrawal of the Shura people, they did not meet anyone for a month.
As Gu Zheng's injuries gradually improved, their speed became faster and faster, but even so, they only walked a third of the distance.
Because the final destination is in the northeast, the journey is very long.
When nothing happened, Pan Xuan asked Gu Zheng about his past, why he came back, who was in his family, and where he lived before.
Gu Zheng directly moved out of the place where he first lived. As for his elders and the like, he was not allowed to talk to them. A series of strange and bizarre problems almost broke Gu Zheng's mind. This was to check his family background.
Not only that, Pan Xuan also talked to Gu Zheng about some cultivation matters, some trivial matters in daily life, etc., and was very talkative. Gu Zheng was able to fool him through deception.
Little did he know that Pan Xuan was becoming more and more satisfied with him. He was a good conversationalist, very knowledgeable, and his temper was not as overbearing as that of his fellow tribesmen. In comparison, he was even a little gentle. He was simply the perfect embodiment of a man.
When she learned that Gu Zheng was now alone, Pan Xuan almost couldn't help but ask him if he liked her. Thinking that she had only been in contact with him for a few months, it was a bit abrupt, so she suppressed it.
Even though Shura women are generally so bold, they are still a little reserved when they speak out.
As a result, Pan Xuan usually looked at Gu Zheng with a different look, gentle and watery, with a hint of charm, but Gu Zheng was used to her unintentional temptation and didn't notice anything wrong.
Pan Xuan is the kind of person who seduces people with every move she makes. No matter how gentle your eyes are, few people can detect it, which makes Pan Xuan a little angry.
After three months of walking and stopping, Gu Zheng's injury was only half healed. The relationship between the two of them had improved by leaps and bounds. Gu Zheng also knew a lot about her, but he didn't mean anything else to her.
Among them, Pan Xuan also contributed a lot of rare elixirs, and Gu Zheng accepted them all with a smile, which made Pan Xuan secretly happy.
What Gu Zheng thought was that he owed her a life anyway, and it didn't matter if he owed more. He would find an opportunity to pay her back in the future, which would at least be better than the elixir he had prepared.
We walked along a diagonal line all the way, and finally arrived at the northernmost boundary. This place was already hibernating in the central forest, and it could basically be said to be the territory of the Shura people.
Although he was accompanied by Pan Xuan along the way, Gu Zheng still felt a little tired. He looked at the piles of stones here, which were no different from other borders.
"Where is it?" Gu Zheng looked around, wondering if it was the same place as the last time he went, digging some blood diamonds.
"Why are you so anxious?" Pan Xuan rolled her eyes at him, randomly took out a whistle-like thing from her hand, put it on her mouth and started blowing.
An invisible wave came from the whistle, and soon a diagonally downward hole suddenly appeared on the ground in front of Gu Zheng. It looked exactly the same as what Gu Zheng had seen before.
It couldn't be such a coincidence, I just raided one of their locations some time ago, so they probably didn't know it was me.
Feeling uneasy, he followed Pan Xuan and walked in together.
It was also a narrow and dark passage, but it became wider and wider as we walked inside. After walking for a while, Pan Xuan and Gu Zheng even walked side by side. This place was much deeper than the last one.
A tall hall was finally displayed in front of him. It covered a very vast area and was a square square. Some puppets kept beating on the wall, jingling and clanging incessantly. There were dozens of them, and Gu Zheng even suspected that there were dozens of them.
The opposite side may have been dug to the point where digging no further north is possible.
Because the northernmost wall is also shining with red light, and there are quite a few, but the puppets are on the left and right, and none of them are working there. What's more important is that there are no blood diamonds found here, but a blood-red crystal.
stone.
Gu Zheng was curious and picked up a dropped crystal stone on the ground. There were many impurities on it. At first glance, it looked like an enlarged version of a blood diamond, but in fact, the things contained inside were completely different.
Gu Zheng knew that the extremely complex energy inside the blood diamond seemed to be alive. If it weren't for the gloves, he wouldn't be able to hold it. Even if he had the gloves, he would almost win the bid and fall.
The appearance of Gu Zheng and Pan Xuan quickly attracted other attention. A tall Shura man came directly from a distance and came directly in front of them.
"What's the matter with you coming here? I'm the person in charge here." His aura is very stable, and his strength is also very good. This person is also a peak golden immortal guarding here.
"I'm here to dispatch a person in the name of the special envoy." Pan Xuan didn't waste any time and directly threw a token in his hand over.
After the strong man put the things in his hands, he seemed to be reading the contents. He glanced at Pan Xuan strangely and walked directly to a corner without saying anything.
"Hey, why don't I know where this is?" Gu Zheng asked Pan Xuan beside him. There were many Shura supervisors here, who were mainly responsible for directing the puppets to dig.
"Here, this is a mine. The red crystals inside are the specialty of this world, the Dragon Flame Stone. This is the mine of Puppet Town. Where are all the people here sent from?"
Pan Xuan pointed here, "Actually, this is my first time here. If someone hadn't entrusted me to find something, I would have left this world long ago."
Fortunately you didn't leave, otherwise I would really be dead, Gu Zheng thought, but this is the Dragon Flame Stone. As he said this, Gu Zheng took out another Dragon Flame Stone that was covered in rocks. It didn't feel like it at all.
"Where did you get such low-grade raw ore? It was probably seized from the other side." At this time, the big man came over with a man and said while looking at the two stones in Gu Zheng's hand.
"These are the outermost raw ores, and the energy they contain is messy. There seem to be two there to the east, but they don't know that there are actually better raw ores inside. They only know that they can dig outside, but they won't be able to dig them in their lifetime.
Go inside."
A trace of disdain flashed across the big man's face. To be honest, he didn't even want that thing. Even the puppet wouldn't eat it for fear of indigestion.
"It turns out that this place is the place where Dragon Flame Stone is produced. I thought it was somewhere." Pan Xuan sighed with surprise. This thing is good. It is the most valuable here. The purer it is, the more valuable it is.
"By the way, this is the puppet given to you by the special envoy. Now it is handed over to you." The big man pulled a puppet behind him. It turned out to be a puppet at the peak of Yijinxian. The big man saw their doubts and said, "Don't worry, he
It has completely turned into a puppet, otherwise it would not be handed over to you for use."
"By the way, take this thing back to Puppet Town and give it to Mayor Zhuang. This is what the special envoy has told you."
After waiting for Pan Xuan to accept it, the big man handed over the individual control method to Pan Xuan, and then said goodbye, "I still have something to do. If you want to visit, please feel free to visit. To be honest, there is really nothing good to see here. These crystal stones are out."
Nothing."
Because the other party has sent special forces here, it is not easy for the big man to directly chase them away. They are all his own people anyway, so let them do whatever they want.
"Wow, it's really good." Pan Xuan was controlling the puppet with great interest. He looked unfamiliar at first, but with practice, he soon almost mastered the puppet. However, it takes a lot of practice to completely control the puppet.
Control.
"Would you like to try it?"
Gu Zheng looked at this unknown human being, shook his head, and rejected Pan Xuan.
There was some indignation in his heart, but he had no way to reverse the opponent's state. In fact, he was already dead, with only a shell left, and at most some instinctive memories left.
Although I can't save him and can't let him rest completely, I can never insult this senior who resisted.
This puppet technique is very similar to the corpse control technique that I heard about in later generations, but the latter one is too harmful to the world and is even crueler than the Shura people.
Seeing Gu Zheng's refusal, Pan Xuan didn't take it seriously and continued to get familiar with the puppet in his hand. At this time, the special envoy specially used it to defend himself. He was good at long range and needed a human shield to help him.
Gu Zheng looked at the huge caves around him. How long did it take to dig them? Will they never be exhausted?
