The endless sea was originally calm. A few naughty big fish suddenly rushed out from below, as if embracing the sun. However, they quickly fell in again, and the slightly undulating ripples continued to rise towards the sea.
It rushed towards the coast, but as the force became smaller and smaller, it was almost dissipated before it finally arrived.
On the seaside, there is an endless wilderness of flat land without any plants, only some shells, shrimps and crabs washed up by the waves. For them, this is their quiet habitat, and they even have few natural enemies.
Just as they were enjoying the long-lost comfort, in an open space not far away, a yellow light pillar suddenly fell from the sky with a vast aura, making these little creatures extremely frightened. The calm seaside was suddenly broken, and they all headed towards the sea.
Running away.
The yellow beam of light came and went just as quickly, disappearing from the sky in just the blink of an eye.
But on the originally blank ground, a group of people suddenly appeared in darkness.
"Wow! It's the sky, look, it's the sea!" A crisp voice sounded in the air.
Ren Ling ran happily toward the sea, her tone full of joy, and she even called out curiously to the little creature at her feet, but she couldn't see it below.
Not to mention that she couldn't help it, even the people who had just arrived were in a commotion and kept talking in low voices.
Down below, they had no chance to see such a blue sky and such clear air. Even the vast sky around them made them feel novel.
He was just forcing himself to stand still and look around.
"Little Fatty, watch Ren Ling, don't let him go away." Gu Zheng did not stop Ren Ling, looked at the people behind him and nodded with satisfaction, and said to Hai Ming.
"Everyone, this is your fragrance-cleansing pill. As you know, just take it later when you find a chance. I won't give it away to you!" Gu Zheng watched Hai Ming rush over, turned around and said to Qing Xuan and the others.
"Well, it's been a pleasure working with Mr. Gu. I'll see you again in the future!" Qingxuan walked up first, took a fragrance-cleansing pill, and said immediately.
After saying that, her figure flew directly outside and quickly disappeared into the air.
"Haha, I'm not polite anymore. Thanks to Mr. Gu, I'm leaving too. I'll never forget this experience! Haha!" Alder also had no ink marks, so he took one and left here too.
"Master Gu, I'm sorry! We have to leave too, because there are some things that really need to be dealt with." At this time, the old bird and the little monkey came over coquettishly.
"There's no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. Don't think there's anything wrong with it. Besides, you don't have to be like this!" Gu Zheng understood the other party very well and said to them.
"If we meet again next time, I will definitely repay Mr. Gu for saving his life. Let's leave first!" The old bird seemed to be more free and easy than the little monkey. After taking two pieces, he pulled the little bird and left here.
In the blink of an eye, everything around Gu Zheng was empty, and they all left with various things to do.
Regarding their departure, Gu Zheng just sighed and didn't think about it anymore. Gu Zheng had long been used to getting together and breaking up.
"Are you really not going to leave? You must know that I will leave after I finish these things. At that time, I may not necessarily take you with me to leave. You have to understand this!" Gu Zheng said to the only satisfied person left behind.
Tian said.
"Don't worry. I'm at home all over the world, no matter where I am. Don't worry about me. If I really have to leave, I will leave directly. I just hope that Mr. Gu can help me find some rare materials. My puppets need a lot.
After some repairs, we don’t have much materials at hand." Mantian raised his head and looked at Gu Zheng and said.
He has decided to practice with Gu Zheng for a period of time, even if he is just running errands behind him. Anyway, his combat power is greatly reduced now, and he has to keep a low profile wherever he goes. It is better to follow Gu Zheng behind.
"No problem, I'll keep an eye on it for you, but don't use the fragrance detergent for now. I still have a task for you." For such a small problem, Gu Zheng agreed immediately.
Even though the loss of his puppet doll is not small, he is still at the peak of the Golden Immortal. Even a damaged puppet is enough for the enemy to eat a pot.
"You two, come back quickly, we are leaving here!" After Gu Zheng handed a fragrance-cleansing pill to Mantian, he shouted towards the two people playing crazy on the sea.
"Got it!" the two of them replied from a distance, then jumped around and had some fun before returning.
"Master, the outside world is so nice. It's much better than down here. Even the air is fresh!" Ren Ling jumped up to Gu Zheng and said happily.
"You won't feel so good once you get used to it. Okay, hurry up and leave here with everyone. We estimate that it will take a long time to leave. You will be responsible for the actions of the villagers in these teams. Ren Ling, you will be responsible for leading the people above the immortal stage.
People, please patrol the surrounding area regularly." Gu Zheng shook his head and then issued the task.
Although it would be more appropriate for Ren Ling to lead the villagers, but thinking about Haiming's troublesome character, it would be terrible if something went wrong and they provoked some tasks that they shouldn't be involved in. There is no one outside.
To get used to them, you have to tell them some common sense outside.
This location was on the same seaside where I fought with Ling Feng. I left a surveillance here at that time, and I chose to come here.
From this sudden point, keep going straight north, walking along the sea, and then when you encounter a group of mountains, walk in another direction and look diagonally northwest. That side is the hometown of Xingcai.
Dream Cloud Swamp!
"I understand, I promise there will be no mistakes!" Upon hearing this, the black name was like an eggplant beaten by frost,
"Lord Ancestor God, we people haven't taken the Xiang Xiang Dan yet." At this time, She Qi came up from behind and said to Gu Zheng.
This time, She Qi and all the people he brought also came here and followed Hai Ming with absolute loyalty.
You know, because of the conflict between the power of the incense below and the conflict here, if it is not washed away, you will explode and die in a few days. Of course, the higher the strength, the longer it can be suppressed. If you want to fight like this for decades, you can still There is no problem, but these ordinary soldiers cannot do it, so of course they are very worried.
"Don't worry, everyone, don't worry. I have already thought of a way for you so that you can't lose your cultivation." Gu Zheng turned his hand over, and the Nine Dragon Cover that had been refined twice appeared in his hand.
It is said to be the Nine Dragon Cover. Its appearance is completely different from before. It has now become similar to an oval shape. The cover is on top. On the bottom layer, there are crystal stones composed of red, blue and white. A variety of colors kept shining inside.
There is also a pillar from the middle to the upper level. Now there is only a sleeping fire dragon, but its power is even more powerful than before. A layer of hazy yellow light on the whole body flashes inside like breathing.
This time, after some transformations by the Quasi-Sage, the entire Nine Dragon Cover has changed drastically. Even if Gu Zheng goes in again, it will not be able to get better, let alone easily refining and leaving the ring inside.
"What is this?" Mantian was also attracted to the scene. Looking at the familiar fluctuations, he couldn't help but asked in surprise.
"Yes, this is the simple statue below. As long as it has the power of incense and is above the Golden Immortal stage, anyone can control it, and it also has great power." Gu Zheng nodded, making everyone's eyes light up. .
"Doesn't it mean that we are the same above as we are below?" Ren Ling opened her eyes wide and exclaimed.
"It's pretty much the same. The power of everyone's incense will still be converted into fragrant beads. The only difference is that it may be more troublesome for everyone to replenish it. The outside world doesn't have the inexhaustible power of incense, so they can only swallow the fragrant beads to replenish themselves. "Gu Zheng's main purpose is to listen to all the talk, because at this stage, it is left to him to control.
"In this way, I am invincible at the same level." Hai Ming cheered from the side. He knew the power of incense, but he was not happy for a long time when Gu Zheng immediately gave an order.
"But you guys will swallow the incense pill for me later. What you are practicing is not the power of incense, so don't make trouble for me."
"I understand!" Mantian nodded and took the Nine Dragon Cover and a storage box containing a large number of fragrant beads.
Soon, a layer of faint yellow light rose from the ground, covering everyone in the blink of an eye, and the discomfort of some of them was immediately eliminated.
"Haiming, your task is to explain the common sense outside to all the villagers, and then convey the situation that they can continue to exercise the power of incense. We will set off in three days!"
Gu Zheng gave an ultimatum, and everyone started to take action.
Soon, scattered voices sounded in the air, all praising the greatness of Gu Zheng. For them, Gu Zheng will always be the ancestral god in their hearts.
"Lord Ancestor God!"
Three days later, everyone with full morale started to hit the road. Although they were still walking on foot, the speed was not so fast. When they were free, they were moving forward while having fun.
A month later, they were far away from that land, and after escorting them for a period of time, Gu Zheng finally expressed his intention to leave.
"Master, why are you leaving so early? We haven't arrived at our destination yet." Hai Ming said in surprise.
They all knew that at the current pace, they would be able to reach the destination in less than five years, and five years would pass in the blink of an eye.
"I'm of no use here. You've done a good job, but I can't get involved. I just happened to go ahead to explore the way for you and find a good place for everyone." Gu Zheng looked at such a circle of people and couldn't help but
He was surrounded by confusion, so he had no choice but to explain.
"But..." Hai Ming wanted to say something on the side, but was interrupted by Gu Zheng.
"I know what you are thinking. You have to know this. I can't stay with you forever. You also have to know how to go. Besides, Man Tian is by your side to protect you. Don't worry about everything. I will
Waiting for you over there, Mantian will know how to find me!" Gu Zheng said to Haiming.
"I understand!" Hai Ming was stunned and nodded as if he understood.
"Mantian, I leave everything to you, I will wait for you over there!" Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't let the other party rely on him so much. He had to make a breakthrough, and he also needed some sense of responsibility. He couldn't do it by himself.
If you can help me a lot, please help me.
"Don't worry, I promise to bring these people over to you!" Man Tian said firmly beside him.
"I feel relieved because I have you. I leave everything to you. If something goes wrong with my two apprentices, they will do whatever they have to do!" Gu Zheng nodded and said to Man Tian.
Without waiting for their response, the whole person flew away into the distance and left here.
...
The Black Mist Mountain Range is the most peculiar mountain range in the Mengyun Swamp. It has swallowed up most of the swamp's territory. It is surrounded by its endless mountains, but the farther you go, the more it goes out.
The farther you go, the lower the mountain peaks are. The further you go in, the more mountain peaks there are. When you get to the innermost point, no one can climb over to see what is there.
However, everyone privately calls it Black Wind Mountain, because at the top of many peaks, a gust of black wind will blow out from time to time, accompanied by a terrifying low howling sound, and a richness that makes you unable to reach your fingertips.
A person below the Golden Immortal level would fall into a coma as soon as he heard that kind of sound. Even at the Golden Immortal level, it would be difficult to counteract the power of the black wind. It would consume a lot of money and be very terrifying.
Of course, what everyone hates the most is the long mountain range in the middle. The top of the mountain range is not wide, but there are black winds blowing up there all the year round. There is no pattern or warning. It just blows out suddenly. More are on it.
It blows constantly all year round.
But the strange thing is that this black wind seems to have a limit. Even if you are only a few hundred meters away from you in the black wind above your head, if you don't step across this line, even if you are close to each other, you will be fine.
The strange thing about this line is that there are two very wide gaps at the left and right ends. There is no place richer in spiritual energy than this, and the two gaps are where the two sides compete.
It's just that the two sides are evenly matched, and no one can destroy the other. Each time there is a stalemate, which continues to this day.
Xingcai's village is in the east direction. This direction also has the vast majority of humans concentrated, because this side treats humans the best, while in the west side, because there were demons who escaped from the outside world, all of them hate humans.
The degree is very high, and humans have an inferior status there, which is a little better than slaves.
Because of this, Yunmeng Swamp, which was originally united, fell apart.
It's just that humans or monsters who came in for some reason were all involved.
"It should be over here."
At the outermost edge of Black Wind Mountain, a golden light suddenly stopped. Looking at the gradually changing land below and the gloomy and dark atmosphere coming from the distance, Gu Zheng Na Na said to himself.
After several months of rapid flight, he finally arrived at the outskirts of the Black Mist Mountains. He compared the information Xingcai had told him in his mind and finally confirmed that he was not going in the wrong direction.
This place is so special. It's like a big mouth. When you walk inside, there is only one exit, and all others are dead ends.
"Click"
Gu Zheng did not go in rashly, but searched around. It didn't take long before a somewhat special symbol appeared in Gu Zheng's eyes. A stone that looked no different from usual was lying on the ground.
There are a few scratches on it that look like they were caused by collisions with surrounding stones at different locations.
But only Gu Zheng knew that this was the last message Xingcai left for him. Gu Zheng stepped forward and crushed it. There was a blue crystal lying quietly inside, and he took it out.
.
"Master Gu, if you come here, please walk along the middle line of mountains directly to the edge. Our tribe is just outside the outermost gap, and I will be waiting for you there."
There was only one simple sentence left in it. It seemed that she believed that Gu Zheng could escape the pursuit of those people, but she never imagined that more than twenty years had passed in a flash, and he had just come here.
.
"I hope it's not too late!" Gu Zhengna said to himself, and the crystal in his hand turned into a ball of powder and fell from his hand.
"A peak? That would be much easier."
At the same location, Gu Zheng left a message to guide the sky. When they arrived, he would know that at that time, if he could, Gu Zheng would definitely come to pick them up, unless he was unable to get away.
Gu Zheng took out a black pill from his arms, swallowed it in one gulp, and walked in without hesitation.
This is a cruel time. Once the people who stay here come in, if they absorb the black energy naturally produced here, the inside of their bodies will be infected with a black breath. This breath does not have any harm, but will increase the spiritual power.
Developed, it is easier for monsters to activate their spiritual intelligence, and their physical strength will also be greatly increased.
Human beings are no exception. They will also increase their physical strength, and the most tempting thing is that they will greatly increase the strength of their lives, at least doubling it.
The weaker the life is, the more obvious the effect will be, and the longer it is inside, the more obvious the increase will be.
But if you want to go out, it is not that easy, because the black energy in the body is deeply rooted in experience. If you don't replenish it after going out, it will easily lead to a weak state. The whole person's strength will drop by three levels, and he will feel like he has lost his soul.
The condition is similar, but not life-threatening.
Only when you come back can you gradually recover. The feeling of being given to Gu Zheng is like taking drugs, and most people simply cannot resist it.
But there is also a way. Among the high-level officials of both parties, some methods have already been used to create an antidote that can completely remove the black mist from the body. It is extremely rare and will not be given without a huge contribution.
Moreover, it will not affect the effect of your previous black energy, and it will not even affect you if you absorb the black energy again later. It is simply a product that some people dream of.
The black pills Gu Zheng took were pills that shielded his own aura, allowing him to move and avoid being noticed by others to a greater extent.
The people who live here, whether they are monsters or humans, are frighteningly sensitive. In order to avoid some accidents, he is careful enough.
After all, overall, humans here are still weak and in a situation of being oppressed.
If that black energy could directly enter the human body, Gu Zheng would not have brought them here at all. This was not to send them into a pit of fire.
In fact, this black energy is also a very precious resource inside. It does not mean that anyone can use it if they want. The only difference is that a burst of this black energy will suddenly appear in the wild, and then leave after a while.
.
As long as you don't take the initiative to absorb them, they are as quiet as docile pets. They are no different from ordinary mist, so there is no need to worry at all.
