Hearing Xiaoying's figure, Gu Zheng looked ahead and found that there were many more figures in the originally empty world, as if they suddenly appeared in this world.
"It seems that the other party really has something to do and has left." Gu Zheng didn't know whether the other party really left, so he could only comfort him like this.
"If that were the case, wouldn't it be easy for us to go out without the other party's hindrance?" Xiaoying said happily after hearing this.
"It's not that easy. This place doesn't look big, and it doesn't look like a killing array. This is the most troublesome. After all, the killing array can be forcibly broken, and this phantom array doesn't seem to have much lethality.
But if you can't break it open, you will really have to stay here and have even more headaches." Gu Zheng said with a serious expression.
"So that's how it is, but I believe that Young Master will break through." Xiaoying said with a smile, full of trust in Gu Zheng.
"Well, it seems that I am really powerful in your mind. I don't have that much confidence." Although Gu Zheng said this, he was actually more confident in his heart.
"Let's go. Are there any other dangers here?" Xiaoying came out from behind Gu Zheng and said to him.
"There must be, any formation is dangerous, but the power and trigger are different, so be careful." Gu Zheng strode forward and said at the same time.
At this time, the light mist that disappeared did not appear again, and there were originally only one or two houses, but now more than a dozen houses appeared inexplicably, and the figures that appeared were clearly human beings of different shapes. At this time
They are busy with their own things.
Just like an ordinary village, there are old people resting at the door, children chasing and playing, and men and women working. Although the number is small, it is a complete small village.
Gu Zheng slowly approached, but those people didn't seem to have noticed them, they didn't even look at them.
"It's strange, their bodies are a little unreal?" Xiaoying followed, looking around, and said somewhat strangely.
"Well, the formation must have just started running. When we came in, the other party didn't activate it at all. They didn't know that when we arrived at the stone monument, the other party actually realized that we were coming."
Gu Zheng glanced around. Those illusory figures were solidifying rapidly. It seemed that it wouldn't take a while before they would completely appear.
"Let's take a look first. I can feel that the exit is in this village." Gu Zheng looked around intently and then said.
"What about over there? There is a passage there. Is there something behind it?" Xiaoying said directly to the path that was opened over there.
"Maybe, maybe not, I just feel that way in my heart. No matter what, let's explore this place first." Gu Zheng looked over there and said with some doubts.
The two men acted separately, each responsible for one side, and began to inspect carefully.
Gu Zheng first walked towards the room where he had been received. This room was not an illusion, but there were no clues.
After walking out, he walked into some illusory room next to it, with all the furniture and everything in it. Gu Zheng tried to wipe it away, but found that his hand had directly passed through it.
Not only these objects, but also the old man sitting at the door seemed not to notice him. Even if he stood in front of him, he did not react at all.
After looking around, I didn't find anything suspicious at all.
But within just a cup of tea, the two people gathered in the middle of the village again.
Seeing Xiaoying shaking her head at him, Gu Zheng was about to speak, but suddenly the noise around them became louder, with chickens crowing, birds chirping, and whispers filling their ears.
Originally, all those people had already solidified, but at this moment, they were completely integrated into it.
"How about we go and ask." Seeing this, Xiaoying said to Gu Zheng.
"That's fine. Only by testing a lot can you know what's going on here." Gu Zheng nodded.
In his aura, those people are all ordinary people and there is no danger at all.
"Sister, do you know where this is?"
Xiaoying immediately walked to the side, where there was a delicate woman standing at the door, combing her hair slowly.
"Who am I, you ask? I am the most beautiful girl here, Fu Rong." The girl raised her head, smiled at Xiaoying, and said to herself.
"Sister Furong, I'm asking where this place is." Xiaoying asked the other party again.
However, what surprised both of them was that as Xiaoye asked again, the figure of the other party became illusory again, and at the same time he ignored Xiaoying, as if the other party did not exist.
Xiaoying stretched her hand forward and found that her hand had also passed through the other person's figure, and the other person fell into that illusory state again.
"Don't waste your strength, the other party will have to wait for a while to recover." Gu Zheng came up from behind and said to Xiaoying.
"How could this happen? I just said a word to the other party." Xiaoying seemed a little unconvinced, but no matter what she did, it was all in vain.
"Perhaps I can only say one sentence and fall into this situation, but the other party is still recovering. It is estimated that he will be able to recover in about the same time." Gu Zheng said with certainty from the side.
At this time, Xiaoying also looked carefully at the girl in front of her. It could be seen that the girl in front of her was quickly solidifying, and she said with dissatisfaction.
"Why is this place so weird? It doesn't allow you to directly use the formation. I really hate using my head."
"Okay, let's ask more questions together. We can find a way to go out first." Gu Zheng was going to take Xiaoying to ask together. After all, there weren't many people here, so it was easy to finish the questions.
At this time, an older woman came over in a hurry and said something to her. The strange thing was that they couldn't hear what the other party said. The Furong nodded, and the woman pulled the already illusory Furong.
, walking in another direction.
"Let's go over there and have a look." Gu Zheng pointed to the small lake and said.
At this time, there were five or six women there, chatting loudly and washing clothes.
"Papa"
As the two people walked over, the sound of clothes being beaten and water splashing was very clear.
These people didn't care about their arrival at all. Just like before, they didn't seem to notice them.
"Wow"
Xiaoying stood by the lake, deliberately picked up a stone on the ground, and threw it into it, causing large splashes of water to see if the other party would react.
Just as the water splashed in Gu Zheng, a strange wave flashed through the air. At the same time, a woman who was washing clothes stopped her hands, wiped the sweat from her head, and looked at Xiaoying.
said.
"Where did you come from, pretty little girl? Didn't you see us washing clothes here? Just go and play and don't make any trouble."
He didn't notice at all that Xiaoying was actually only her upper body, but the other party couldn't tell.
"This baby girl is quite handsome. She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up. If you say that to her, you won't think about your chubby child." A woman next to her joked.
"Ha ha"
The few remaining people also burst out laughing after hearing this, and they looked like ordinary people laughing happily.
"Sister, where are we? We can't get out when we get here." Xiaoying was immediately overjoyed when she saw the other party's reaction, and stepped forward and said sweetly.
"Oh, what a sweet mouth. This is the Worry-free Village. It's fate that you are able to come here. Outsiders can't get in even if they want to. It's better to stay here. I'll make sure you forget all your worries." The original woman said
, said to Xiaoying with a smile.
Gu Zheng and Xiaoying looked at each other, and they could see the meaning in each other's eyes, because after these people finished speaking, they did not become delusional at all, but continued to talk to them like normal people.
"I still have relatives outside. If I disappear, they will be so sad. Sister, can you tell me how to get out?" Xiaoying looked at her pitifully.
"So that's it. If you want to go out, it's not difficult. I have a rough stone here for leaving. If you help my son find the black squirrel he likes, then I will give it to you." The woman smiled.
He said that he actually agreed to Xiaoying's request.
"So sister, where can we find that black squirrel?" Xiaoying's eyes were filled with joy and she asked quickly.
"Through that foggy road, there is a high mountain over there, and there are ferocious beasts in it. Be careful, the black squirrel is very fast, but not aggressive." The woman explained very patiently, pointing to the broken squirrel over there.
Make a passage for the road.
"Thank you, sister." Xiaoying said very politely, then took a few steps back and smiled at Gu Zheng.
"Sir, look, it seems we have found the key."
"Well, yes, but we have to go check out the neighborhood again."
Gu Zheng nodded, but there was a sense of absurdity in his heart. Why was the cracking of this formation so naive? He actually helped the other party find something, and the other party gave him the thing to leave here.
This feeling is too weird. It feels like helping others and then giving them clearance items. However, compared to those dangerous formations, Gu Zheng would rather do this kind of thing.
Moreover, Gu Zheng also understood the meaning of this formation, which was actually to delay time or trap them where they were.
The two people left and continued to explore along the village. No matter what they met, they had to ask first to see if the other person was illusory.
"Grandpa Beggar, do you know how to get out of here?"
"My heart is as high as the sky, but it's a pity that I don't have a penny in my pocket." A patched-up beggar replied to Xiaoying, and then his body became illusive.
"Next." Gu Zheng said calmly from the side.
"This beautiful sister, do you know how to leave?"
"What a lovely girl, come and have a cup of tea I just made. I guarantee you will like it very much."
They were still cheering up for the previous sentence, but after the other party finished speaking, his whole person also became illusory, leaving them disappointed.
Then they asked a few more people, and all of them were false without exception.
"Is there only one person who has the rough stone? We have asked several people in this village, and half of them have no response." Most of the day passed, and the second one was not found, which made Xiaoying a little frustrated and couldn't help but wonder.
Zhu Guzheng said.
"I'm not sure, but I don't think there can be only one. Don't be too anxious. Let's take a rest when we get tired." Gu Zheng comforted Xiaoying and said.
Although he didn't ask, he kept observing this place, and intuitively felt that this place was not that simple. Of course, it wasn't how to leave or whether there was any threat, but what the purpose of this formation was.
Why did the other party leave in a hurry? There must be other things that prevent the other party from even controlling this place. Otherwise, how could it be so easy and simple to tell? It's like the lowest level of illusion array.
But he didn't see through all this, he just felt vaguely that something was wrong.
At this moment, another young man walked across from them, but he seemed to be looking for them, walking straight towards them.
"Hey, outsiders, this is not the place for you to stay. Get out of here quickly." The young man came over and said unceremoniously.
"We also want to go out, but we can't. Can you tell us how to get out?" Xiaoying saw that someone came over and said again.
"Of course, you have to find four rough stones, fill up the outer stone tablets, and then go..."
The young man who had told them kindly suddenly froze, his expression became stiff, and he repeated the last word, as if he was deliberately teasing them.
"Where to go next? Tell me quickly." Xiaoying said anxiously.
"You have found the right person. No one in the whole village can beat me. If you can beat me, I will naturally give you the rough stone." The young man's original relaxed expression suddenly became arrogant, as if he had changed.
Like a person, he took out a red stone and said to them.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng looked around. At the moment of contrast, there seemed to be two waves fighting. It was obvious that the first one had retreated. It seemed that someone was helping him behind the scenes. Unfortunately, he was a little bit behind in the key place.
, before he finished speaking, he returned to his original state again.
"What do you think I can do to win you?" Just as Gu Zheng looked around, Na Xiaoying said impatiently.
"This is the rough stone in my hand. I will put it behind me. You can guess which hand it is in. I promise it will be in my hand. I will not use such dirty tricks. As long as you can guess, this rough stone will be in my hand."
I’ll give it to you.” The young man said to Xiaoying.
"It's so simple. Let me guess, how could you not win?" Xiaoying did not expect this, but then she said confidently.
"Yes, but if you want to play against me, if you can't win, unless you give up and stay here for ten years, otherwise you will have to keep playing with me." The young man now put his palms behind his back,
Said to Xiaoying.
"It's so harsh, can't it be stopped at any time? I still have to eat." Xiaoying said in surprise.
"No, this rule is dead. Once you stop halfway, you will not be able to leave this village for ten years." The young man said with certainty.
"Son."
Now Xiaoying was dumbfounded and turned her attention to the ancient war, not knowing what to do.
"Then we'll look for you later. Where are you?" Gu Zheng stepped forward and said to the young man.
"I'm with you at any time. I'm on the east side of the stone monument at the head of the village." When the young man saw that they were unwilling to accept his challenge, he immediately looked at them with disdain and said at the same time.
After saying that, the young man strode away directly.
"Don't worry, since we have information about the other party, let's ask more questions." Gu Zheng looked at Xiaoying and said in a deep voice.
This kind of phantom array is easy to leave if you find a way. If you can't find it, it will really run in circles. Even if you break it violently, you can't break it unless someone helps you break it from the outside.
However, there are flaws in powerful formations. Since they exist, there must be a key to breaking the formation. The key to breaking the formation should be to take four rough stones and leave here.
For a whole day, the originally bright sky in the sky dimmed, and the people below and everything disappeared. A faint white mist once again filled the space between the sky and the earth. The only stone tablet was still standing there.
Xiaoying and Gu Zheng stood in front of the lake, looking at the slightly rippling water above.
"Master, except for the two of them, no one else took the initiative to speak. Can we just get two rough stones to let us out? After all, there are only two of us." Xiaoying floated beside her and suddenly said.
"Probably not. In fact, I think the reason why we discovered their existence so easily is not because there is no one in charge of the formation. It seems that the great power of this formation is not here, and we are just involved in the aftermath, so we
It’s so easy to find all these flaws.”
Gu Zheng thought about the person behind him and wanted to tell himself, but was interrupted, but he probably didn't mean to interfere with him.
"Well, it seems we can only wait until they come out again." Xiaoying said with some frustration.
At this time, the whole world was closed again. She tried to fly away from here, but it was like a ghost hitting a wall. She could only spin in place. After trying it for a while, she gave up.
After a day, those disappeared figures appeared here again, but most of the things at hand had changed. The young woman who did the laundry yesterday was cooking at home, the girl who made tea disappeared, and Hibiscus in the hall was sitting at the entrance of the village.
, chatting with a group of girls of the same age while having sex.
Gu Zheng and the others tried several times, but found that most of them still said some words stiffly, and then their bodies became illusive again.
"Ouch"
Gu Zheng was walking in the village when he was suddenly hit by a little guy. He hit the ground directly and let out a painful cry.
She was a chubby little girl who looked very cute. The toy in her hand was also destroyed due to the fall. She curled her mouth and tears fell from her eyes.
Just as Gu Zheng was about to say something, the little girl's figure also became blurry, and then she walked away to other places sobbing.
"Sir, you were too careless and broke the other person's toy." Looking at the same illusory little toy on the ground, Xiaoying said after grabbing it to no avail.
She knew this feeling, something like this had happened to her, so of course she felt it.
"I really didn't pay attention. There are ordinary people here, so it's even harder to pay attention." Gu Zheng spread his hands and said helplessly.
I also met this little girl yesterday, but I would only leave one sentence behind. When the figure solidified, the next conversation was like most people, only the last sentence was said dryly.
"I like my toys best."
"I just feel pity for the other party. Forget it, let's help the sister catch the black squirrel first. Maybe there are other clues there."
Xiaoying pointed to the sea of clouds over there and said.
