Gu Zheng gave the two of them a few instructions again, nothing more than ordinary words. With the two of them pecking at the rice, Gu Zheng left here and walked towards the Ancestral God Pavilion in the bamboo forest.
Here, after seeing Gu Zheng's figure in the bamboo forest, Haiming quickly stepped forward and closed the door to the courtyard.
"Is this good for us? Will Master blame us?" Ren Ling looked at Hai Ming with a worried look.
"Didn't we agree before, but why did we back down when things came to a close?" Hai Ming glanced secretly into the room, with a trace of hesitation on his face, but with a flash of determination in his eyes, he said to Ren Ling.
"Don't worry. If the master is to blame, then blame me. I will bear all the responsibilities."
"No, let's bear it together now." Ren Ling couldn't bear it and decided to stand with him.
"Good junior sister, thank you for coming with me, but we have to find a good opportunity. I will take this opportunity to do the trick first." Hai Ming gave the human an appreciative look, and then quietly walked into the back room.
After a while, Hai Ming walked out of it and made a reassuring gesture to Ren Ling, indicating that everything was ready.
The two just left the small courtyard, as if nothing had happened.
But here Gu Zheng was completely unaware and quickly arrived at the outskirts of the Ancestral God Pavilion.
At this time, looking outside, a man in black robes was communicating with Ren Jie, or in other words, he was just talking to him in a flattering way.
The arrival of Gu Zheng also attracted the attention of both of them. Ren Jie quickly came over and said to Gu Zheng.
"Lord Ancestral God, this is Chief Cheng. This time he is specially here to give you permission to move!"
"Oh? What is this?" Gu Zheng asked doubtfully, as if he was leaving here.
"That's right!" Ren Jie said with some embarrassment, "In the past, when they first came here, the previous ancestral god applied to the higher authorities for relocation, and it was only now that the higher authorities agreed to give them a permit."
Because this place is just a temporary place for them to stay. In fact, it was just an isolated island before they came.
Moreover, Ren Jie had almost forgotten about this matter, so he didn't mention it to Gu Zheng. As a result, when Chief Cheng arrived today, he discovered this problem.
"Hello, Mr. Cheng! I'm really sorry to trouble you." Gu Zheng said politely.
Although I don't know about this, relatively speaking, it is a good thing. After all, this place is really poor and uninhabited. You can't find a weakling even if you want to, and you are surrounded by Neptune's subordinates.
"Fellow Taoist Gu, you're welcome!"
At this time, Ren Jie had already consciously gone out, because he couldn't make the decision on these matters at all, so he could just stay outside and guard them.
When Gu Zheng came, Chief Cheng had been looking at Gu Zheng coldly. He was dressed in a black robe, only showing a serious Chinese character face, and he had the feeling that strangers should not approach him.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, there was no coldness at all, and there seemed to be some harmony in his tone.
"I'm here this time to inform you that the migration applied for by the previous ancestor here has taken effect. You now have two options. You can choose!" Director Cheng didn't talk nonsense, and got into the topic when he opened his mouth, expressing himself.
Intention.
"Of those two options, can we choose a place by ourselves?" Gu Zheng asked curiously. It would be best if he could choose a place by himself, but Gu Zheng always felt that it might not be possible.
As Gu Zheng expected, Director Cheng shook his head and said.
"No, you can only follow our planned route. You must know that we have to ensure the balance of this region and cannot let it go casually. And given your location, in fact, your location will still be in the southern region, so you
There aren’t many choices.”
"I see, Mr. Cheng, come here to take a rest in the pavilion and talk slowly?" Gu Zheng asked the other party politely.
"Forget it, I still have things to do, so don't waste time. Besides, it's very simple, just listen!" Director Cheng once again rejected Gu Zheng's kindness.
"Well, since Mr. Cheng has something to do, please tell me something!" Seeing the other party's refusal, Gu Zheng could only say this. He wanted to build some relations with the other party and get some information but failed.
"First of all, you can choose a place by yourself, but this place must pass our review. If it passes, you can put the logo representing your Saito Island there to become your territory. As for where it doesn't work and where it works, this is just
If you decide first, we can go explore it later."
"What about the second one?" Gu Zheng thought about it for a while. Although he felt that it was similar to his original idea, it still needed the other party's recognition. Moreover, if the core of Xifeng Island was not put down, then his statue would not be erected. How much delay would this have?
Time, let’s listen to the second option.
"The second one is a giant island tens of thousands of miles away to the west. A tribe on it has left here through the teleportation array. Now it is vacant. We decided to put a dozen different small tribes there, and
We will give you a three-year protection period and you will not be subject to any attacks."
Gu Zheng's heart brightened when he heard this. He was really sleepy and a pillow was delivered to him. Wasn't he just in need of someone? It seemed that although the previous ancestor god ran away, he didn't leave any legacy behind.
You must know that I wanted to ask how to leave here before, otherwise it would be too wasteful to be stuck here all the time. If that were the case, Gu Zheng would have to leave here.
Just like what the ancestor god did before, he actually did nothing wrong. The people here were just angry for a moment and did not blame him. After all, with such a good opportunity, no one wanted to leave here.
"I would like to ask, how many people do the dozen tribes have in total? Does each tribe have an ancestor god?" Gu Zheng asked with a very interested look.
Chief Cheng took a look, with a smile on his cold eyes, as if he understood the meaning of Gu Zheng's words.
"There are fifteen tribes in total. The smallest tribe is you. The largest tribe has more than 30,000 people and is also the most powerful tribe. The total number of all the tribes is about 150,000." Chief Cheng took it from his arms.
He took out something like a mirror, as if there was some message written on it last year, looked at it and recited.
"Among them, there are only five tribes without ancestors. There are about five whose strength is equal to yours, three who are higher than you, and the remaining ones who are lower than you. Are you sure you want to go?"
Chief Cheng said meaningfully, his eyes looking at Gu Zheng to see what he had in mind.
When Gu Zheng heard this, he felt that it was a bit tricky, but the other party did not say how high the other party's strength level was. How could so many masters appear in this small and remote place, and they all happened to come together.
But thinking that this is the fastest way, if you are looking for a place and go step by step, how many years and months will it take to accumulate enough incense power.
Manager Cheng was stunned when he saw Gu Zheng's eyes, and then became firm, knowing that he had made a decision, but before Gu Zheng could speak, he spoke.
"But since your number is too small, I will give you the option. For the first item, you can find a place to settle down in the entire south. No matter whether it is feasible or not, you can pass."
When Gu Zheng heard this, he wondered how the other party could give them such good conditions. According to the normal ancestors, this was definitely an excellent condition. Even if they found a good place, they would have fewer setbacks and greater success in the future.
Opportunities to grow faster.
But for Gu Zheng, it was too slow. He didn't want to spend too long here. He would rather face mountains of swords and seas of fire, not to mention that for him, it might just be a relatively rugged path.
You must know that your own cultivation is not just about your body. For the early stage, it is enough to confuse the other party and make them relax their vigilance. By the time you find something is wrong, it is already too late.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng made a decision and said to Chief Cheng.
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity, but I am still willing to go to that big island and challenge myself."
"Very good! Since this is your choice, let me ask you again, are you sure you won't change it? There is no chance of regretting it!" Director Cheng took out a golden token with no logo on it, only a few strange lines.
Patterns are engraved on it.
"I'm sure, please assign us there!" Gu Zheng took a deep breath and affirmed again.
"Take this token and go to Director Feng in Nanshui City. He will give you the specific location there. Your entire tribe has to move there on foot. You need to rush there within two years. If you don't arrive by then, your entire tribe will
They will be forcibly banned and broken into other tribes."
Chief Cheng lowered his head, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes, then took out a seal-sized seal and stamped it in the air against the token in his hand. A layer of red patterns rose out of thin air and was introduced into the gold medal in his hand.
And the gold medal slowly revealed three raised red markings.
“Xifeng Village”
"I wish you good luck! I hope you can give me a surprise when I see you next time!" Manager Cheng put the token in Gu Zheng's arms and said without any end.
However, Gu Zheng didn't hear it and thought it was the other party's congratulations. He smiled at the other party and said.
"Master Cheng has come a long way. Otherwise, if you want to rest for a while before leaving, let me do the honors of the landlord."
Gu Zheng put away the token in his hand, feeling that some of the discomfort that had been stuck in his heart finally disappeared, and couldn't help but invite the other party to sit for a while.
But just now he rejected Gu Zheng, let alone now, he just waved his hand and refused.
"Goodbye, I hope you don't regret it!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the air, flying out at high speed. He quickly disappeared in front of Gu Zheng.
"Senior Gu, where are we moving to?"
Ren Jie saw that the other party had left, so he quickly came over and asked.
"We are going to move to a huge island." Gu Zheng didn't hide anything. He recounted the conversation between them, but he didn't tell the final additional benefit before he said it.
"Rather than searching aimlessly, I think it's better to compete. The higher-ups definitely want some tribes to regroup, otherwise there won't be so many small tribes gathering together."
"I'm afraid so. It is estimated that all the smaller tribes in the southern region have been gathered together." Ren Jie said with some worry.
"If this melee continues, we won't be able to withstand each other at all. Our strength is still too weak!"
Gu Zheng thought about it for a moment and understood what he was thinking.
Because there are so many tribes together, if a war breaks out, at least tens of thousands of people will have to die to determine the final outcome. And there are only a few hundred of them, and they will be drowned if they can't even stir up a wave inside.
Gu Zheng was unable to stop the other party from attacking, so the result must be obvious. By then, Gu Zheng would have become a wandering ancestor god, and they would also lose their titles in Xifeng Village and become other people's clansmen.
After a few hundred years, they will no longer exist.
Times like this happen every once in a while.
"Don't worry, since the other party did this, there must be a certain method, otherwise he wouldn't have killed so many people by doing this, and basically all of them are elites. Even if they are all integrated together, they will not be able to recover for thousands of years.
Come on, if you encounter the demon clan and add insult to injury, wouldn't it be an advantage for others?"
Gu Zheng comforted Ren Jie by saying that his current foundation is in Xifeng Village and he needs his cooperation. He is not a dictator. What he likes most is win-win, where everyone is good.
"I know, I hope everything will be as good as what the ancient predecessors said, that would be perfect!" Ren Jieqiang cheered up and said.
"In two days, let's go to Nanshui City together. Just ask about the specific situation!" Gu Zheng continued, looking at the other party's poor state of mind.
Two days later, everyone in the village basically knew about this incident, but compared to the worries of the upper class, they were in a much better mood. They had been on this trail all day with nothing. Although they didn’t say it, everyone had already had enough.
.
And they also believe that since Lord Ancestor God made this choice, there must be a way to deal with it. After all, the fifth change hidden in the statue has helped many people, and everyone knows it in their hearts.
His mood improved and Ren Jie was ready to leave with Gu Zheng. When they set off, everyone started to pack their things.
But before that, Gu Zheng is going to the Zu Shen Pavilion to dismantle the core of Xifeng Island, that is, the red crystal core. That is the most important thing, and it also represents the existence of Xifeng Island and where their spirit lies.
Accompanied by Ren Jie, Gu Zheng and the others quickly arrived at the Ancestral God Pavilion.
Gu Zheng looked at Ren Jie with a nostalgic look on his face. He stood outside looking at the plaque and didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't go to him and went straight in.
There are basically no big changes inside except for changing the offerings.
Looking at the red beads in front of me, they are only as big as eyeballs and look like they are condensed like some kind of blood-colored crystals. However, if you look closely, you can see that there is a faint yellow mist swimming inside.
After Gu Zheng looked at it for a long time, he didn't see anything obvious, so he simply picked it up. His eyes flashed with golden light, and he stretched out a finger and pointed at the red ball in front of him.
Ren Jie, who had just come in from outside, saw Gu Zheng's reckless behavior, and his heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop him, but when he raised his arm, he put it down again, and even opened his mouth.
, did not say anything to stop the ancient dispute.
Here Gu Zheng shines with golden light, slowly moving towards the red bead. The moment it touches the bead, a subtle yellow light lights up on it, rippling like water waves, but it is only three feet away.
, surround the entire Ancestral God Pavilion and prevent it from spreading outward.
Even the sky looks blurry, as if it is covered with a curtain of water.
This layer of light is not strong and does not have any destructive power, but Ren Jie who stays in it seems to feel that time has stopped. It seems that his mind is fixed on this, thinking about nothing and doing nothing.
But Gu Zheng's face showed surprise, but gradually he began to sneer, and then he took his finger off the ball.
However, although Gu Zheng put down his hand, the water waves in the air began to sway slightly, and a blood-colored light also shone on the bead.
A hurricane rose out of thin air, and the power of countless incense scrolled back and forth in the air, and the movement became louder and louder.
Gu Zheng's sharp light flashed, and a ball of golden light suddenly rose in his hand. Golden sword energy shot out in all directions, cutting into pieces the violent incense power like a knife.
He then waved his hand, and a golden whirlwind rose out of the air, surrounding Ren Jie. Ren Jie, who was blushing there, flew out of the Ancestral God Pavilion and fell outside.
"puff!"
Ren Jie spat out a mouthful of blood, and his legs and feet became weak on the ground. He was unable to get up at all. He looked inside with a horrified look on his face, not knowing what was going on.
As for Gu Zheng inside, after Ren Jie came out, his whole body was illuminated by a yellow mist, and then with a blur, he turned into several dragon roarers and rushed towards the surroundings.
The power of the scattered incense had not been completely gathered together when the dragon rushed towards it. With a bite and a slash of its claws, they turned into wisps of yellow mist. In the blink of an eye, the entire Ancestral God Pavilion quickly It was covered by the power of incense, making it difficult for Ren Jie to see what was going on inside, and strangely, there was no sound coming from inside. Standing outside, even though he looked here, he felt as if he was already separated from the Ancestral God Pavilion by thousands of rivers and mountains.
A huge sound of anger sounded inside, as if to warn Gu Zheng. The remaining incense power in the air gathered together to form a blurry human face, looking straight at Gu Zheng.
"You wait for me!"
Gu Zheng sneered, and the dragon flying in the air suddenly became full of energy and turned into flowers all over the sky.
"Snapped"
As Gu Zheng snapped his fingers, yellow flames burst out from the flowers all over the sky, and a coldness that made the soul tremble appeared in the air.
As for the human face in the sky, a large piece of yellow mist evaporated from it, and could no longer hold on. It could only let out a final silent roar of anger, and finally disappeared without a trace.
And the abnormal phenomena in the sky began to disappear quickly, and soon returned to their previous appearance, as if nothing had happened.
Gu Zheng took the red ball in his hand and walked out of the Ancestral God Pavilion without looking back.
