Yingshao suddenly jumped out of the water, causing splashes of water, and jumped to the ground, but there was no trace of water on her body.
As Gu Zheng walked over, Yingshao realized that there was something wrong with Gu Zheng's aura.
"Elder Gu, you are injured!" Yingshao came up in surprise and said worriedly.
"It's okay, just a minor injury!"
Gu Zheng waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, sat down on a relatively clean ground, and then continued.
"Have you bought the things I arranged for you to buy?"
"I bought it and spent it all. Thanks to sister Luo Xin, otherwise I would have been cheated." Yingshao nodded, patted the jade pendant on her chest, and said happily.
"I also told that Grandpa Turtle what you asked me to arrange!"
"That's good. If you need to prepare anything, go and prepare it quickly. We will leave after a while." Gu Zheng made arrangements for Yingshao.
"Well, Elder Gu, can we bring one more person with us?" Yingshao walked up to Gu Zheng and said a little embarrassedly.
"Is it Luo Xin?" Gu Zheng closed his eyes and said calmly.
"How do you know!" Yingshao blurted out instantly, her eyes widened, as if Gu Zheng knew it was an incredible thing.
"There's no need to guess? Well, we can only bring him with us at most. You didn't reveal the others, right?" Gu Zheng opened his eyes, took out a pill from his hand, and stuffed it into his mouth.
.
"No, I didn't reveal it to her. She took the initiative to tell me! I don't know how the other party noticed it." Yingshao waved her hands desperately, indicating that she didn't reveal it to her.
"In three days, come here to find me and let's go together!"
After Gu Zheng said this, he closed his eyes.
When Yingshao saw this, she nodded and quietly retreated out. Gu Zheng was the only one in the entire cave, and everything was quiet.
After half a day, Gu Zheng's body suddenly flashed with a white flame. In the blink of an eye, the blazing white flames burned his entire body, lighting up the entire cave like a human-shaped torch.
As the white flames burst out, a small white bird emerged from the sky. With its wings waving, it stood directly on Gu Zheng's shoulders and rubbed against Gu Zheng's cheek.
It didn't hurt at all, but stood in it with a look of enjoyment.
But after just standing there for a while, the white bird flew into the sky again, spitting white flames from its mouth, making the white flames boil more fiercely.
At this time, inside Gu Zheng's body, the body that had been seriously injured recovered almost visibly to the naked eye, but what was consumed was the little bird that had just regained some of its vitality.
After two full days and two nights, the bird that sprayed white flames in the sky from time to time finally stopped with a tired look on its face, and turned into a white light and disappeared into the Lihuan below.
The white flames on Gu Zheng's body also began to gradually decrease, and the brightness in the cave also slowly decreased, and soon the cave returned to its previous appearance.
However, the injuries in Gu Zheng's body were almost completely healed.
Thinking of the previous breakout situation, it was so close to overturning the ship.
The previous injuries were real, otherwise it would have been impossible to hide them from the general. He did this just to retreat from the front line, and coupled with the perfect retreat, no one could have imagined that he would sneak into Nanyao City secretly.
Gu Zheng also worked hard to find this opportunity.
After relaxing a little and adjusting his breath, the two figures appeared in the corner.
"Elder Gu!"
Luo Xin said with some fear. She didn't know what Gu Zheng was going to do, but she knew that Gu Zheng was leaving here, so she was in a dangerous situation.
She is so safe now because she is hiding under the wings of Gu Zheng. If she finds out that Gu Zheng is gone, then she can imagine that some people will take action. Anyway, she knows that her father will forcefully bring her home.
After discovering some clues, she begged Yingshao to take her with him.
She was familiar with Yingshao's temper, and after a few times, she learned everything from Yingshao.
I also know why Gu Zheng told me that day that he wanted to defect to the other side. Maybe he was originally from there, but it was his first time out of the mountains and came here to have fun.
I'm afraid she has to go back this time. All this is her guess.
"You have to keep it in your heart after you see everything. If you say it out, you will blow yourself up and die." Gu Zheng saw her coming, stretched out his hand, and a ray of light entered her body, and said coldly.
"I know, I will never tell anyone!" Seeing this, Luo Xin felt relaxed. The other party had placed a ban on her, which meant that he would definitely take her away.
No matter where I go, I don't want to stay here.
Because it was said that Fanyu had woken up and was rescued by General Zuo, which made him even more frightened.
"Don't worry, it will only expire in a thousand years, and the restrictions in the body will naturally be released after that! You can say whatever you want at that time."
For these transformed little demons, even if they are not able to advance to the level of immortals, their life span is much longer than that of ordinary humans and similar people. A thousand years later, they may not be in this place.
"Are we leaving now? I've already packed everything." Yingshao didn't understand what riddle they were playing. When she saw this, she immediately interrupted.
"Of course, before we leave, we first go to Nanyao City to rescue Elder Ye!"
In Nanyao City, three people who had changed their appearance simply stayed here where the Shui Tribe settled.
As for the two humans guarding here, they had already passed out and were lying on their own beds.
"Elder Gu, is this the way it is?" Yingshao looked at Gu Zheng curiously. She had been wanting to ask this question along the way, but she had no chance.
"Of course, you can just call me Mr. Gu from now on, and stop calling me elders and the like!" Gu Zheng looked at the two people who were extremely curious along the way and said.
"Oh, I understand Mr. Gu." Yingshao didn't know what Gu Zheng meant, but she changed her tune obediently.
"Tell me carefully where the locations of Elder Ye and their subordinates are!"
Now that Luo Xin is there, those unclear positions that Yingshao relayed can be dispensed with.
"Okay!" Luo Xin already knew this question and began to speak slowly.
After seeing the true face of Gu Zheng, Luo Xin knew that she was completely on the pirate ship. She couldn't say it out loud and could only accept her fate, but it was much better than losing her life.
Three nights later, the entire sky was pitch black, which was the perfect time to travel.
On the right back of the General's Mansion, there is an independently sealed courtyard. There are several patrol teams of guards patrolling the outside at all times to ensure that no one can approach here.
But right under their noses, a dark shadow came here quietly. In a blind corner of the other side, it turned into a gust of green wind and fell into the courtyard. However, they, the loyal guards, did not notice the heresy at all.
, still the same as usual.
Facing people who were only at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Peak, it was easy for Gu Zheng to hide from them.
Once they entered the General's Mansion, they found that the protection inside was not very tight. Presumably, with General Zuo sitting in charge, it would be useless for the young people to cause trouble. It would be useless to mess with them and the guards, so even they were a little lax.
.
This small courtyard is not big, but there are also several secret sentries inside, because there is a dungeon below, where many criminals are imprisoned, but only the criminals from this demon clan.
There is a five-story attic in the middle of the courtyard, which is also the only building, but it is twice as wide as ordinary buildings. The target of the ancient struggle was there.
Because among the people captured by the Monster Clan, only Elder Ye is still there. Other ordinary humans are not captured here. And currently, Elder Ye is their current captive status and the person with the highest cultivation level.
Gu Zheng looked at the tall tower above. A layer of water gradually rose up outside his figure, making Gu Zheng's entire figure tremble and hide in the air. Then he walked towards the only entrance.
Although there is no protection here, there is actually an invisible layer of restriction outside the attic. No matter who looks at it, there is no way to tell that anything is wrong. By the time they discover it, it is already too late.
The only entrance is the main entrance, and only monsters are allowed to pass through. This is a bit of a one-off, mainly to guard against the people inside, in case someone with something special escapes from inside.
Gu Zheng just walked in openly, and these secret sentries didn't notice anything was wrong.
On the first floor of the attic, there is just an empty hall. Apart from some ordinary decorations, it is completely empty. There is not even a place for people to do anything. However, in the four corners, there are four white rays of light.
The magic circle seems to be the outer magic circle.
There is an upward staircase on both sides, which makes Gu Zheng a little strange.
Gu Zheng took a quick look, stopped paying attention, and walked up the stairs on the left.
When we reached the second floor, we were surprised to see that there was only a blue-lit door, and the surrounding area was completely blocked by layers of wooden walls.
Gu Zheng hesitated for a moment, then walked inside.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Zheng appeared inside, and his spiritual consciousness quickly swept through it, and only then did he have time to look inside.
There was no one in this room at this time. There were only a few rooms with closed doors and a large living room. Other than that, there was nothing. It seemed to be an empty room.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng also turned around and left, continuing to walk up the stairs.
Two rooms in a row were empty, and finally I saw a strange old human man on the last floor.
It should be Elder Ye. Luo Xin only heard that there was one prisoner here, but she really didn't know about the others.
Wearing a green gown with a kind-hearted motherly face, she was sitting at a table nearby, drinking something by herself. Everything looked so leisurely and at ease, as if she were at home. This was the first impression she gave Gu Zheng.
.
"What are you doing here again? Even if I die, I won't surrender to you. You must have given up your will!" As soon as Gu Zheng came in, the old man sitting in the living room said lightly, without even looking at him.
"Elder Ye?" Gu Zheng called out tentatively, but the other party didn't react at all.
"Elder Ye, I'm here to save you from here." Gu Zheng took a few steps forward and said slowly.
"Leave here? Do I still need to tell you some information, otherwise you won't be able to go back to work! Dream on!" Elder Ye said coldly, but he still raised his head and looked over, allowing Gu Zheng to clearly see the words at the corner of his mouth.
Disdainful.
It seems that Elder Ye has been asked countless questions over the years, otherwise why would he have such a big reaction?
"I won't say much. I have a way to send you out, and I will also leave a secret passage that can climb over a line of peaks and let us get out of here." Gu Zheng didn't say much, because no matter what he said, the other party
It seems that I don’t believe it anymore, so I might as well speak with the facts.
"Oh, you really invested your money this time. You even tried to find a way to get me out, and you also wanted to gain my trust. If you hadn't told me about the secret passage behind, maybe I would still be able to believe you. It's a pity that you are so impatient.
It’s a failure if you ask for success!”
Elder Ye was tested a lot by the demon clan here, but the lack of oil and salt immediately made Gu Zheng feel a little uncomfortable.
Looking at Elder Ye who was not paying attention there, Gu Zheng's eyes lit up. Only then did he realize that Elder Ye's cultivation was now firmly imprisoned. He could only have a third-level cultivation at the moment. Gu Zheng laughed silently.
"What do you want to do? If you dare to touch a hair on my head, just wait for General Zuo's rebuke!" Elder Ye looked at Gu Zheng's strange smile and trembled all over. Even General Zuo was lifted up by him.
come out.
"Because Elder Ye didn't believe me, and time was tight, I was offended a lot." Gu Zheng said with a smile, and then walked towards Elder Ye.
"You want..." Elder Ye was about to say something, but his vision went dark and he fainted immediately.
"Done!"
Gu Zheng looked at Elder Ye lying limply on the table and laughed easily. Maybe he would be grateful to himself in the future.
Putting Elder Ye on his shoulders, Gu Zheng turned around and left outside.
Arriving at the lower level, Gu Zheng thought for a moment and put Elder Ye on the ground first. After spending a long time, he ran out of all the rooms again. After making sure that there was no one else, don't get the wrong person.
, that would be great fun.
Then he picked up a milky-white pearl, as big as an apple, and gently placed it on Elder Ye's chest.
A white light emerged from the side of the pearl. The pearl gradually began to melt into a stream of white water. By the way, Elder Ye's body gradually spread out. In a short period of time, the surface of Elder Ye's body was covered with a layer of white water.
.
However, those lights gradually dimmed until Elder Ye's body was revealed again, but the aura on Elder Ye's body had turned into another loose demon.
This thing is something that Yingshao has accumulated little by little over the past few years. According to the saying, it is enough to cover up a stick of incense.
Taking Elder Ye out of the place where he was imprisoned went surprisingly smoothly, and soon Gu Zheng took him to the Shui Tribe's stronghold.
Yingshao, who was bored here, and Luo Xin, who had been worried, were also surprised to see Gu Zheng come back. After hearing Gu Zheng's words, they immediately followed Gu Zheng and walked outside.
"Hurry up and get out of here while Elder Ye's masking aura is still there!" Gu Zheng said to the two of them.
Gu Zheng held Elder Ye's arm and pretended that they were walking side by side, walking in front. If they didn't look carefully, no one would be able to spot the trace.
Along the way, the three people crossed the deserted streets without any danger and walked out of the city gate smoothly. The patrolling soldiers just looked at them strangely and did not come up to check.
The direction they came out this time happened to be the south direction, and walking all the way there was the direction Gu Zheng came from.
However, they had only left the city gate for more than ten breaths when Elder Ye suddenly flashed with white light, and the protective aura on his body disappeared.
"It's so dangerous! If you slow down, you will be trapped in the middle of the city gate." Yingshao was a little frightened and patted her chest. If the middle of the city gate really disappeared, there would be nothing anyone could do, and they would all be in trouble.
"Let's go quickly!" Gu Zheng put Elder Ye directly on his shoulders and urged the two people behind him.
The four people hurriedly quickened their pace and continued walking towards the south.
"Stop, what are you doing!"
Gu Zheng and his party had just walked for half a quarter of an hour when suddenly several people stood in front of them and shouted at them.
The four people in Gu Zheng all stopped in their footsteps, because in front of them was the patrol of Nanyao City, and the unique armor could be seen at a glance.
"My young master wants to go out and look for something!" Luo Xin reacted quickly and said immediately as soon as the other party finished speaking.
"What are you doing out there in the middle of the night? You're so sneaky. Who are you fighting against?" The person over there who clearly looked like the leader took a step forward and pointed at the person on Gu Zheng's shoulder.
"This is my elder. He is injured. I want to take him to heal!" Gu Zheng has already tightened his grip. If the other party does anything wrong, then don't blame him for being rude.
Just these few people, ensure that there is not a trace of movement, and let the other party disappear from the world in the blink of an eye.
"Elder, how is it possible? This is obviously a human being." The leader sneered and wanted to come over and check it out.
"Hey, why do you care who it is? My young master has a heart and can't stop the other party's filial piety, right?" When the ancient dispute was about to start, Luo Xin walked up and stopped the leader halfway, saying,
But something was handed to him in his hand.
"If you want to have some meat, just say it. We are not irrational people." The leader looked at the things in his hands and said with satisfaction. After putting the things in his arms, he waved his hand.
"Let's go. You are quite sensible. I'll give you a suggestion. Don't go out at night next time, especially during the war. Fortunately, we met. If someone accidentally hurts you, you have no place to explain."
After the leader said this kindly, he left with a few of his men and walked in another direction.
"Master Gu, there is a restriction on the other side. Once you take action or die, the city will know that something happened here, and it will delay our journey." After they were far away, Luo Xin whispered here.
Just now she noticed something was wrong with Gu Zheng, so she stopped the leader and bribed him.
Gu Zheng nodded, without saying anything more, and the group continued walking towards the south.
Luo Xin wanted to ask them how to get there. Did they have to go all the way to the entrance and turn a corner?
If that were the case, no one else would be able to escape except Gu Zheng.
Because in up to seven days, the next time they check, they will find that this human being has disappeared, and they will rush to catch up.
This is also the reason why Gu Zheng stayed for two days, because they happened to have an inspection that day and could buy more time.
Could it be that the passage he followed him here has obviously collapsed by himself, and the master has also inspected it and found that it has been completely damaged and can no longer be used.
