"Do you know how to get out of here? Is there anyone else here?" Gu Zheng continued to ask.
"I don't know! It's just me and grandpa." Xiaoying shook her head and said.
"What was the name of this place before? Has no one ever been here?" Xingcai interjected and asked curiously.
"I don't know! It's just me and grandpa here." Xiaoying still shook her head and said honestly.
"Have you ever heard of Elder Gu?" Gu Zheng said abruptly.
"I don't know!" Xiaoying said the same words as before, but her tone was much lower. She felt like she didn't know anything, whether she would annoy them and eat her up.
"Then you take care of everything here?" Xingcai interjected from the side.
"I know this, I will take care of it." Xiaoying's tone was obviously higher, as if she was excited because she knew something.
Gu Zheng looked at the other party's innocent look. It seemed that he really didn't know anything. He felt helpless. He thought for a while and asked other questions.
"Why did you become invisible before and then suddenly attack us?"
"I listened to my grandfather and asked me to scare you and drive you away, but I happened to encounter the Blood Moon Sky. Then I couldn't control myself. I really don't want to attack you, and I can't beat you either.
Are you afraid that you won't be eaten?" Xiaoying waved her hands repeatedly, looking anxious.
"Heaven of the Blood Moon?" Gu Zheng was stunned. He seemed to remember this name, but where exactly it was, whether it was in the past life or this life, it felt like he had seen it accidentally, or as if someone had mentioned it.
"By the way, who is your grandfather? Is he here too?" While Gu Zheng was thinking about it, Xingcai continued to ask.
"I can't tell you, please let me go." Xiaoying could feel Xingcai's affection for her, and she quickly begged her.
"No, we just promised not to eat you, but we didn't say we would let you go unless you take us to your grandfather's place." Here Gu Zheng didn't remember where he heard it from, so he gave up. Maybe it was just a similar sentence.
Just words.
"No, even if you eat me, I won't take you to find grandpa. I won't tell you that grandpa is at the east end of the village." Xiaoying's face bulged, as if she was a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
demeanor.
"Since we have promised not to eat you, let's forget it." Here Xingcai suppressed a smile and said to Xiaoying.
"Then let me go see this grandpa and see what he has to say." Gu Zheng gently pulled his hand, and the green light on Xiaoying's body relaxed a little, making her less uncomfortable. She followed them in the air, swaying
walking towards the east.
"Sir, tell me why the other party is not worried about us killing her." Xingcai said to Gu Zheng on the way.
"How do you know that the other party is not paying attention to us all the time? This is his local snake. He must have other methods. However, when the other party shows kindness to us at the beginning, we can't do too much." Gu Zheng looked straight ahead and faced him.
Xingcai next to her replied.
With the stars surrounding her, she didn't feel like she was being peeped. However, Xiaoying behind her wanted to struggle out secretly, but Gu Zheng tied her up and didn't want to let her go. No matter what she did, it was useless.
After a while, they arrived at the entrance of the east village. Xiaoying knew which one was her grandfather's courtyard without even looking.
In a row of closed houses, there is a clean house near the door, and the door is open. It is strange that you did not notice it.
Gu Zheng was not polite and walked in directly.
An old man with white hair and a small goatee was sitting next to a stone table in the yard, and there were plates of exquisite dishes on it, and there was a strong smell of wine in the air.
Xiang seemed to be waiting for their arrival and entertaining them.
"grandfather!"
Here Xiaoying came in with her and shouted a little aggrievedly.
The old man took a look, stretched his hand towards the air, and a ball of blood-purple light appeared in the air, quickly rushing towards Xiaoying over there.
Gu Zheng didn't stop him, and sat down on the other side of the old man boldly. Xingcai stood sideways behind Gu Zheng like a maid. Even if there was extra space next to her, she didn't do it.
"Grandpa, I didn't bring him here." Xiaoying, who was freed from the restraints, immediately flew behind the old man, explaining in the air.
"As long as you're fine, go back and rest quickly." The old man said to Xiaoying kindly.
Xiaoying nodded in the air, and then her body exploded into a ball of green light, and she disappeared from the sky, and she didn't know where to rest.
"Two of you, it seems that if you come in, the Black Dragon Immortal Mansion must have been opened for a few days. It is not easy for you to find this place. Please!" The old man here suddenly sighed and said to Gu Zheng.
"You should keep these things for others, we won't be able to enjoy them." Gu Zheng glanced at the food and wine above, and said straight to the point without starting.
"Excuse me, old gentleman, where is this place? How to get out of here."
"This is the realm of Taoism. Elder Gu rests here." The old man did not show off. The two of them returned directly as if they had not seen friends for many years.
"As for how to get out, it's easy to see that you can go all the way north along this road. In the middle, there is a huge gymnasium. There is the only teleportation array left here. All the others have been destroyed."
Gu Zheng saw that the old man was silent and suddenly laughed. He waved his arms in front of him, and all the imaginary wines and delicacies disappeared and turned into real wines and some simple cooked food.
Although it doesn't look as fancy as before, it is the real thing.
"I haven't tasted these things for a long time." The old man was not polite. After seeing it, he first poured himself a glass and drank it all in one go, then tasted a few bites of the dishes in front of him and said with satisfaction.
However, Xingcai is a little confused now. She really doesn't know what riddle they are playing. It feels like there is something she doesn't know.
"I don't know why the old gentleman took action against us before." Gu Zheng looked at the old man with a smile and suddenly said.
"I don't want to, but at that time, I really couldn't control myself. Ever since I was infected by the other party, I couldn't control myself when the blood moon was in the sky. It seemed that my mind was filled with bloodthirsty feeling. Seeing
Any human being wants to attack, even if it was not my intention at the time." The old man put down everything in his hands and said apologetically.
"What is this place? How did you become like this?" At this time, Xingcai also knew why the atmosphere was weird. It turned out that this person was the monster that attacked them before, but now he looked no different from ordinary humans.
"When we were resisting the invasion of the enemy's traitors, a big man from the demon clan blew himself up here and couldn't help but destroy everything here. The endless ghost energy has been lingering here, and we are actually all dead. It's just that this demon clan is special.
Magic weapon, besiege this place, and most of the people who have lost their minds gather in the middle. Every time during the blood moon, they will attack Elder Gu’s last resting place and try to really kill her."
Needless to say at this time, the old man knew that the other party was not a traitor, because when the other party came in, he was observing the other party carefully until he came over.
"Is Elder Gu still alive?" Xingcai here had obviously heard the information about the only female Da Luo, and couldn't help but said in surprise.
"I don't know. He should still be alive. Even if he is alive, I'm afraid he's not in a good condition." The old man didn't know what he was thinking of and said with a somewhat depressed expression.
"Have you never been there in all these years?" Gu Zheng also asked in surprise.
"Why don't you want to? There are just a few of us living outside now, occupying several directions on the periphery, just waiting for reinforcements from outside. But what is desperate is that all the entrances to here from the outside world have been closed. Without reinforcements, we
There is no way he can break through the layers of ghost troops to rescue Elder Gu." The old man smiled helplessly.
Although there were only a few words, Gu Zheng already understood them clearly.
Elder Gu is probably not in a good situation either. He was probably too badly injured in that battle, and coupled with the opponent's constant invasion, there is only room for defense, which makes the situation worse and worse. Otherwise, as long as she recovers a little, as long as there is no one outside,
Da Luo, how could he possibly stop her?
Then some people tried to get reinforcements, but the result was that when this place was blocked, there would be no reinforcements at all. Their strength was too weak.
Even if there is no blockade, the battle situation outside is certain. I am afraid that only the enemies will come. Fortunately, there is no entrance, and there will be no harassment from those outside. You must know that almost all the enemies outside are their enemies, and only some dark ones have split into
There were two teams.
"If we want to leave here, can we only go to the Taoist temple in the middle?" Gu Zheng asked again with certainty.
"Yes, there is no other way except there. If I remember correctly, there are some companions who are retreating inside, still holding on under the leadership of Elder Gu. But what is the situation now, I don't know.
I don’t know, I haven’t been back for a long time.” The old man said again.
"I wonder what's going on outside right now? Can you give me an introduction?"
Gu Zheng briefly talked about the situation outside, but he didn't know much about it, so he told it in a vague way.
"Senior, please give me more advice. We still have things to do, so I won't bother you anymore." After Gu Zheng said everything he knew, he stood up and said goodbye to the other party.
Xingcai also nodded and thanked the other party, followed Gu Zheng and left here in the same way.
The old man looked at the two people across from him and walked towards the door, with complicated expressions in his eyes. When the other person was about to walk out of the door, he suddenly spoke.
"You two, I know you want to leave here. I wonder if I can ask you for a favor."
"Senior, if you have any questions, you can tell us. If possible, we will definitely help." Gu Zheng turned around and said politely.
"I want to be with you. Depending on your situation, I'm afraid no one will come outside. I should have gone back to my death a long time ago, but I can't bear to leave Xiaoying." The old man stood up and sighed.
"It's great to have you leading the way." Gu Zheng said happily. Just now he seemed to be opening his mouth, but he was just thinking that the other party might not agree. With his guidance, he would save a lot of time.
Half a day later, on the endless plain, the three people were moving quickly in the air, leaving the previous village behind.
After advancing for a certain distance, Duan Chen suddenly made a request, and the three people stopped on the ground.
"Senior Duan, is it really okay to impose restrictions on you like this?" Gu Zheng said to the old man next to him.
The old man, whose full name is Duan Chen, was introduced to both of them on the way.
"You don't know when the blood moon will come. There is no warning at all. At that time, I almost couldn't control myself. In order to avoid hurting you, it's better to do this." Duan Chen didn't care at all.
At this time, he was restrained by Gu Zheng. It can be said that Gu Zheng could make Duan Chen unable to resist with just one thought. But with his cooperation, it was buried deep in his body. In other words, Gu Zheng could control them.
of life and death.
Gu Zheng never expected that the other party would do this, isn't he afraid of attacking him?
Not to mention that he couldn't understand, Xingcai also couldn't understand what Duan Chen was thinking, and she simply trusted them to the extreme.
But they didn't ask, they just buried it deeply in their hearts.
"By the way, Xiaoying forgot." At this time, Xingcai suddenly spoke in surprise.
"Don't worry, she should recover from her injuries here and don't let her be depressed all the time." Duan Chen smiled slightly and took out a picture scroll from his arms.
What I saw in the picture was a scene of farmhouse fun. The whole picture seemed like a world. The creek was flowing, the leaves on the trees were shaking, and you could even feel the fragrance of the fruits from above. The whole world was living inside.
Xiaoying was in the scroll, lying on the grass outside to rest, because at the bottom of the scroll, there was a part of the house that was completely dark, as if it had been eroded and destroyed by something.
"This thing is just an ordinary hanging scroll. Later, a fragment that flew from nowhere unexpectedly merged into it. As a result, it gained incredible power. Everything inside came to life." Duan Chen put his hand on it gently.
At one point, the picture scroll rises and ripples, like a layer of water mist.
"At that time, Xiaoying ran out from the house below, but she lost her legs forever, and her whole body became like a human or a ghost after receiving the evil magic weapon. I kept her
When I raise a granddaughter, it’s a pity that she never grows up and is also subject to this picture.”
Xiaoying inside seemed to have noticed something, and rose up from the ground. She looked above her head in surprise, as if she could see Duan Chen. She grabbed it in her hand, and the lantern returned to her hand from the dark place below.
As her body glowed with a ray of green light, her entire body gradually disappeared inside. At the same time, a ray of green light appeared on the surface of the scroll and fell to the side, turning into a cute girl.
"Grandpa, have those bad guys who wanted to eat me gone?" Xiaoying said in a cheerful tone, but she didn't see Gu Zheng behind her at all, and her face almost turned dark.
"When did I say I wanted to eat you!" Gu Zheng couldn't help but speak. He never said he wanted to eat him from the beginning to the end. Such a naked and false accusation in front of his face was a bit too much.
"Yeah!" Xiaoying exclaimed, turned around and saw Gu Zheng, accelerated in the air and hid behind Duan Chen.
"Don't worry, the other party won't eat you, and he's not a bad person. He's a trustworthy brother and sister." Duan Chen pulled Xiaoying out with a chuckle and introduced Gu Zheng.
"There used to be a lot of ghosts here. They were all released by the monster clan. They could strengthen themselves by devouring them. Several times they ran into the vicinity of the village, so they scared her." Duan Chen faced Gu Zheng here.
they explained.
"Oh." Xiaoying believed Duan Chen's words, and her words immediately became more cordial after watching the play Gu Zheng.
"Don't worry, with my sister here, I'm sure no one will eat you." Xingcai smiled, trying to build some relationship with the other party.
"That's why I believe you. My grandfather is enough to protect me." On the other hand, Xiaoying said in a nonchalant manner.
"They are worthy of trust. If I am no longer here, just follow them." Duan Chen said with a smile on his face.
"Grandpa will always be here, and I will always be by his side." Xiaoying said quickly.
"I know, and I also hope to be with you all the time. Please take out a few red fruits later, okay?" Duan Chen said kindly.
"I know, wait until you get to the front to take it out, otherwise it will be broken." Xiaoying heard Duan Chen's words and smiled sweetly.
"Not far ahead, we have entered the area of the real magic weapon. For us, it is not a hindrance at all, but you will encounter various illusions, and it is also accompanied by blood poison. It is basically impossible to prevent it. Once the poison is too deep
, you all can’t stand it, but we have the red fruit, at least the blood poison can be eliminated from the body." Duan Chen said to the two people waiting next to him.
Gu Zheng didn't know anything about this place, but he knew that if there was a familiar person to lead the way, his time would be greatly reduced.
As for the doubts, most of them have been eliminated after Gu Zheng completely controlled the other party. He just doesn't understand why the other party wants to help him.
"It's time for us to set off. I really hope we can leave here quickly. There are still things we need to do outside." Gu Zheng nodded, indicating that he understood.
The four people took off again and accelerated towards the front.
A day later, in front of Gu Zheng, a red scene appeared in front of him.
Originally there was some red mist in the sky, and it almost felt like being in a blood moon from the front.
"From there on, everyone should be careful. The closer you get to the middle, the probability of encountering enemies will increase. I really hope that the journey will be safe." At this time, Duan Chen said.
The world of red mist seems to have a fixed range, neither spreading nor shrinking, and the outside looks more like some residual aftermath.
Gu Zheng didn't notice anything strange at all, so he just jumped in.
"What a strong evil spirit." Xingcai trembled as soon as he entered and couldn't help but say.
Compared with the outside, this place seems to be an evil world, with the smell of evil everywhere, and the ubiquitous blood mist, which gives off a disgusting smell.
Even if you hold your whole body, you can't stop the breath from penetrating towards you.
After moving some distance, Gu Zheng discovered that a strange red color appeared on his body. At the same time, he also felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't find any reason.
"Xiaoying, take out the red fruit." Seeing this scene, Duan Chen quickly ordered to Xiaoying next to him.
