"What is this? What can it do?" Gu Zheng took it and looked at it carefully in his hand. He could only feel that there was a strange energy sealed in this silver needle, but it was too little. He couldn't help but be curious.
asked.
"If you want to talk about the material itself, it may be harder than a stone. The key is that it can help you break through the hidden jade stone and its concealment effect will disappear directly. However, if you want to occupy the opponent's Lingding, you still have to break in. If you want to
It's impossible to teleport in, after all, the hidden jade stone will still retain some functions." The old man explained from the side.
"The prerequisite is that you have to find the approximate location of the other party. Unfortunately, none of you can find it." The old man said with some regret.
"I don't need to worry about this, sir. Thank you for giving me this thing. At least after I find the other party, I won't have to look for ways to break through the other party's defense." Gu Zheng said gratefully.
Obviously, it's not that the other party doesn't know the location, it's just that he can't tell him, otherwise why would he give him this silver needle?
"If necessary, please tell me, I will do my best." Gu Zheng said again.
"Haha, no need. If you could have come a few hundred years earlier, you might be able to help me. Now you better think about how to get out of here. The number of applicants this time is even more than in previous years. I hope you won't get stuck.
That's all! I'll take my leave first." The old man laughed and disappeared in front of them.
"Thank you!" Gu Zheng thanked Yiji again.
Only when the old man's figure disappeared completely did Gu Zheng put down his gesture.
"Young Master Gu, I didn't expect you to know such a powerful person. I admire you. I admire you. Are you really not a young master from that family?" Qing Xuan couldn't help but say from behind.
"Of course not, don't make random guesses. I'm just an ordinary layman like you. I just came out to make a fortune, just to be appreciated by the boss." Gu Zheng said with a chuckle.
"I don't believe it anyway! You're right, Brother Alderwood!" Mantian said with a curl of his lips.
"Yep!"
"I don't believe it even more!"
"Stop making trouble here. Let's find a place to stay first and observe each other carefully. I don't believe that the other party won't report it." Gu Zheng interrupted their argument and ordered.
"yes!"
Seeing Gu Zheng speak, they all said one after another.
Then Gu Zheng took them away from here. He remembered that there was a nice inn where he came from, and there was a luxurious restaurant next to it, so he decided to go there.
"Master Gu, why don't we go have something to eat first to relieve our fatigue!" When he walked to the door of the inn, he smelled the fragrance coming from the side, and the somewhat greedy Alder said to Gu Zheng.
"I think you want to eat it. Why do you want to attract Mr. Gu? Why don't you do like me and just say that the glutton in my stomach has been seduced!" Man Tian said with disdain.
However, the fragrance is really tempting, and even Gu Zheng is a little moved when he smells it.
"We're not in a hurry anyway, so we'll have a big meal nearby!" Gu Zheng decided.
Hearing this, even Qingxuan showed some hope on his face.
"Hey, look over there, he's already here? It's really fast!" One of the three people who were looking out the window inadvertently looked out and saw that Gu Zheng and his party were heading this way.
Come.
"Let me see, it's true, Neptune, you don't plan to meet your son's cheap master! I don't think the opponent's strength is inferior to yours, and you were laughing at the opponent back then!" Another person next to him raised his head and took a look,
Sure enough, it was him, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Forget it, there is nothing to talk about when we meet. This time, our family fortune is gone." Neptune laughed at himself, stood up and came to the window to look at the ancient dispute below.
There is a restriction in this restaurant, and it is impossible to see the inside from the outside. Even Gu Zheng and the others did not even notice that anyone was watching them.
"Who has placed a guardian on this kid, but it seems that the soul above has not been completely suppressed and is beginning to awaken." Upon seeing this, Neptune immediately noticed something different about Gu Zheng.
"Let me see, why didn't I notice it? Did you see it wrong?" The old man looked at Gu Zheng and the others passing under him, but didn't see anything.
"That's right, let's change our appearance. Now is not the time to meet him." Neptune said thoughtfully.
The interior decoration of this restaurant is luxurious and spotless, and some flowers and plants are placed in some corners to decorate it. It is indeed much more upscale than ordinary.
"Waiter, whatever special dishes you have here, bring me a portion of them all."
Gu Zheng casually sat down below and said directly to the child who was following him.
"Hey, dear Ancestral Gods, we are very good at it. This table can't even accommodate it. You must know that every source of food is raised by nearby villagers. It is definitely the same as outside. I don't know what your guest prefers.
, I can make arrangements." The waiter said slightly proudly.
"Oh, half of the best meat and vegetable dishes are here. I'll go and see what's special about it!" Gu Zheng was a little curious after hearing this. It seemed that this was the source of the previous fragrance. He said that he hadn't done anything for a long time.
, to be honest, I felt a little itchy.
I didn’t expect that there are ingredients that have been raised here. It’s really not easy.
"No problem, please wait a moment, adults, and I'll bring it to you!" the waiter said cheerfully, and then went down to make arrangements.
In a short time, the table was slowly filled with various delicacies.
There are stacks of exquisite side dishes, each with a fragrance leaking out, and there are meat dishes that arouse appetite just by looking at them. You can't tell what the meat is, but there are streams of hot steam coming out from the top.
The two are intertwined with each other, and the rich fragrance makes people even more appetizing!
Before eating it, Gu Zheng felt that the taste was the same.
Looking at the alder tree next to him, he was eager to see through it. Gu Zheng started directly and took the lead in pinching out a piece of unknown meat from it.
There is some light golden thick juice on it, which melts as soon as it enters the mouth. At the same time, a special fragrance fills the mouth, and the fragrance spreads throughout the entire body along the nerves.
"It's delicious!" Gu Zheng's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say.
The cooking level of this dish itself is high enough. Of course, the biggest credit is the addition of these unique ingredients, which made Gu Zheng couldn't help but praise it.
He looked at the people next to him, devouring the dishes in front of them, as if they were mortals who had not eaten for days and nights.
Even Qingxuan put down his reserve and chewed the big piece in front of him.
"Go and serve them some different dishes!" Gu Zheng ordered the child not far away.
"Okay, wait a minute!" The waiter seemed to be watching over him, and walked towards the back without any unusual expression.
"This person is objective, please give way!" The waiter came to the back and found a figure blocking his way, so he said politely.
He recognized that this man was a regular customer here, and many people were very polite to him, and he seemed to have a very high status.
"Please hand this over to the other party later." The man took out a very small bag, which seemed to only contain a small item.
"I'm sorry, I can't help. This doesn't belong... Okay, no problem!" The waiter just said, and when he saw the other party showing something, he immediately changed his words.
"Well, go back to their bills and don't ask them for them!" The figure left here after saying that.
Here Gu Zheng served the food three times before satiating the appetites of this group of people. Even Gu Zheng didn't eat much, all of it went into their stomachs.
"Check out!" Gu Zheng called the waiter from far away. Although he didn't know how much this would cost, it was definitely not cheap.
"Sir, someone has already paid your bill and left this for you! They have left." The waiter came up and said truthfully, taking the things the figure gave him.
This is because that person deliberately asked him to take it out at this time, so that he could make the other person give up the idea of looking for him.
"Who is so good, how dare you say that he is not a young man from a certain family? Even here, there are people rushing to pay the bill!" Alder looked at the empty table, swallowed the last mouthful, and said with satisfaction.
"Who is it?" Gu Zheng's mind flashed. He looked at the thing in his hand and hesitated whether to open it. After all, who knew what the use of this thing was.
"Master Gu, don't worry. There will never be anything harmful in this city. Just open it." Qingxuan advised from the side.
Nothing, no matter how hidden, can be hidden from anyone here.
Hearing this, Gu Zheng no longer hesitated and tore open the small outer package. Inside was a blue ring.
Gu Zheng was curious to pick it up and take a look, but as soon as he touched it, the ring turned into dots of blue light, fell on Gu Zheng's palm, and disappeared.
"Master Gu, nothing happened!" Seeing this, Qingxuan stood up immediately and said with some worry.
Only then did he remember that it was the inertia of the past. What if the Freedom Alliance sent a scapegoat and wanted to die together? He was really negligent, and he broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.
Gu Zheng quickly circulated in his body, but he didn't find anything wrong. He waved his hands to them as if it was just an illusion.
"It's okay, I didn't find anything wrong!"
"Don't worry, gentlemen, we have tested it before. This thing is not a harmful thing, but a piece of protective equipment. We are being watched by the administrator behind us. In addition to the mistakes, we would be very miserable. Otherwise,
I don’t dare to hand it over to you either.” At this time, the waiter said from the side.
"Do you know what this is for?" Gu Zheng looked at him and asked.
"I don't know about this kid," the waiter said, shaking his head.
"Forget it, since there's nothing wrong, let's go." Gu Zheng thought for a moment and decided not to think about this issue. Seeing that the waiter didn't have any worries, maybe the old man brought it to him.
Several of them walked towards the outside, but Alder stayed behind and waited for a while before coming over.
"What have you done!" Man Tian from behind asked in a low voice.
"I just asked, do you know how much that meal costs?" Alder took a breath and said.
"How much, how much can be used!" Man Tian said disdainfully.
"I'll tell you..." Alder whispered in his ear.
"Hey, I really can't afford it. I want to come here more times!" Mantian took a breath and said repeatedly after hearing this.
After the group of them lived separately, they had nothing to do all day long.
Qingxuan and the three of them strongly urged Gu Zheng to stay in the house and try not to go anywhere because of the other party's desperate behavior. Even the three of them stayed in the house.
Not going out the door, not taking the second step, this is their current situation.
The alder horse thief monitors his own insects all the time to see what the other party is doing.
In the first few days, the Taoist seemed to be walking around randomly. Fortunately, he did not leave the city, otherwise he would never be able to know his whereabouts.
During this period, fortunately, many people came into contact with him. He was just strolling around the city. He had no intention of leaving here before and wanted to report to the other party quickly.
Half a month later, Alder pushed Gu Zheng's room away and brought Qingxuan and the others here.
"What's going on? They all look sad." Gu Zheng woke up from meditation and saw their appearance and couldn't help but said.
"Master Gu, the number of people the other party has contacted has exceeded the upper limit, and we can no longer track him!" Alderwood said with some disappointment.
"Then can you track a few of them?" Gu Zheng thought for a moment and then asked.
"It's absolutely possible. Including Taoists, as long as they don't discover it, they can be tracked for at least a year as long as they don't leave a certain distance."
"Well, let's not go to the pipeline people first. Let's see who the other nine people are and look for other clues!" Gu Zheng will definitely look for other breakthrough points first.
"No, that Taoist has sped up. Looking in the direction of the other person, he seems to want to leave here!" Alderwood suddenly closed his eyes at this time, waited for a moment, and then said hurriedly.
"Let's go, follow. Maybe the other party was trying to paralyze us before!" Gu Zheng said immediately after hearing this.
Several people hurriedly came out of the inn and headed north.
Because of the special nature of the City of Hope, once you leave, you will almost lose contact with the outside world. If the other party takes advantage of this to speed up and leave, it will be easy to lose track of the other party.
Moreover, they had to pretend to be on their way casually to conceal their identities.
If the other party is arranging some people to be vigilant, then their purpose is completely exposed, and it is really impossible to find the other party's location.
When the other party really left the north gate, they didn't care about anything and accelerated towards the north.
When they came out, there was no Taoist figure in sight.
"Can you still feel each other?" Gu Zheng and the others walked to an inconspicuous object aside and then looked at the alder tree and asked.
"Let me try!" Alder closed his eyes and kept changing gestures with his hands in front of his chest.
"Yes, the other party didn't seem to notice us. He wasn't very fast. He walked in this direction!" Alder Mu suddenly opened his eyes and said happily.
"Let's go, catch up, follow Alder, don't get too far ahead and be discovered by him!" Gu Zheng said immediately after hearing this.
After completely leaving the City of Hope, everyone began to speed up and headed north along a diagonal line.
...
A few months later, the Taoist's galloping figure gradually slowed down, and after such a long journey, he finally came back.
Originally, I wanted to ask my subordinates to make a trip, but I was afraid that those guys would make some mistakes, and I happened to have other things to report, so I just came back by myself.
Of course, I didn't just go out stupidly. I knew Gu Zheng's group, but wanted to find their location, so I started wandering around the city, while secretly paying attention to whether anyone was following me.
After half a month, he was finally convinced that maybe they had left here. In addition, according to the news from his subordinates, there was no suspicious person at all. On this day, he was still as usual, but he inadvertently started to leave here, heading towards
His home base appears.
The figure of the Taoist finally stayed in an open place. From the outside, there was nothing special about this place. The surroundings were even a little bleak. Because it was close to the northern border, the air here seemed very dry, and the power of incense in the air was also unusual.
rare
There are no woods or mountains around, and there is no protrusion within a few thousand miles. It is just an empty land. No one would choose to stay here. It is desolate and remote.
But the Taoist finally stopped here. He was suspended in the air and subconsciously looked around. There was no one anywhere he looked. Then he took out a white token and took a photo of it in front of him.
A ray of white light shot out from the token, but not far in front of him, the white light disappeared in an instant. He was not in a hurry, put the token away and waited quietly.
After a cup of tea, a ripple suddenly appeared in the air, and soon a passage for only one person appeared in the air.
As soon as the Taoist figure accelerated, he passed through the middle, and the passage was immediately closed.
Half a day passed, and far away from where the Taoist stopped, several figures suddenly appeared in a place that was originally empty.
"Master Gu, the other party is really well hidden. No one would have thought of this place!" Qingxuan said from the side.
"Yes, if we hadn't followed the other party so hard, how could we have noticed the difference here, and the other party was still so vigilant on the way. If it weren't for Brother Alder's zerg, we might have fallen far behind.
The other party discovered it!" Man Tian received it from the side.
"Hey, it's nothing. I just used this little trick. What's more important is that the other party's way of opening the door is to confirm it from inside. The protection is really tight. It's a place set up by some escapees." Alder looked aside.
Hehe smiled, his face full of pride.
Although his cultivation is not as good as Qingxuan's, and his number of skills is not as good as Mantian's, the insect control technique taught by his master is still a unique skill that no one else knows.
You must know that the Taoist actually killed several times in the middle of the road. You must know that it was flying at high speed. The opponent was running and quickly returned to the way he came. If he followed a little closer,
Ordinary tracking will definitely not react.
Moreover, the other party is still hiding in the middle of the road, staying motionless for at least a day or at least half a day. These are just small tricks, and there are other more unpredictable ways.
Thanks to the alder bugs, even if Gu Zheng had extensive experience in tracking and escaping, he would still be discovered by his opponent.
"Don't say any more. I saw the scene inside through the gap that flashed open before. It seems that this is definitely the other party's lair!" Gu Zheng said with certainty from the side.
