In an ordinary thatched house, on a simple wooden bed, a ray of sunlight shines through the window of the house, shining on her delicate face.
She seemed to feel the glare of the sun when she was sleeping, her eyelashes fluttered rapidly, and soon a pair of equally beautiful big eyes opened.
Facing the bright sunshine, she seemed not to feel any glare at all. Instead, she stared straight at it. After a long while, she blinked and then started to do it slowly.
He raised his hands a little stiffly, looked at those white onion fingers, his eyes were a little dull, blinked, and finally became a little more agile.
He took a deep breath, then stood up and walked towards the door.
Pushing open the simple door, the familiar scenery in front of her came into view again, making her feel like she was still in that illusion.
However, the Chinese voices carried by the wind in the air let her know that all this was real.
By the small lake in the distance, two figures were sitting there, chatting leisurely.
"Sir, it's been seven days, why hasn't he woke up yet?"
"The other party is too deep in time. Even if he is fed the elixir, it will still take a certain amount of time. I feel like it will only take these two days."
"Oh, I can't tell, but I have some new questions and questions during the past few days of practice. Sir, please answer them for me."
"Just try your best. My knowledge is too limited. Even if it is of some use, you still need someone with profound Dharma."
"Young Master, you are so humble. I think you are very good."
The woman slowly walked toward them, and then she stopped halfway.
"Sir, she woke up and is right behind us." Xiaoying heard the movement behind her, turned her head and said immediately.
After hearing this, Gu Zheng turned his head at the same time and saw that the other party had woken up. He didn't know when he came behind him. He really didn't pay attention.
The woman who was a little reserved at first started laughing after seeing Gu Zheng's face, her body became much more relaxed, and she walked directly towards him, talking as she walked.
"I thought it was someone from their side who saved me, but it turned out to be you."
Even though it was the first time we met, there was no sense of strangeness in his tone.
Because she is Xingcai's mother, and in theory, she can be regarded as Gu Zheng's elder, who asked him to perform that scene with Xingcai.
"Hello Aunt Zhou, I didn't expect to see you here again." Gu Zheng watched the other party walking step by step and said coquettishly.
Judging from the other party's appearance, Xingcai must have confessed and knew that he had been acting before.
"Haha, you don't have to be so polite. I don't ask about your affairs. Since it's over, it's over. I'm just very confused as to why you're here. But fortunately, I didn't expect you to pull me out. I just
It’s a pity that those two people didn’t seem to come out.”
Xingcai’s mother and daughter, Zhou Xuan, also said with emotion.
"Sister Zhou, the illusion will be shattered by then, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get out. Why would you be caught here by them, as if they want to take you away." Xiaoying suddenly opened her mouth to explain to Gu Zheng from the side.
.
"Oops, do you know how many days the other party has been away?" Hearing Xiaoying's question, her face changed and she asked immediately without lamenting the sacrifice of her subordinates.
"It's been about ten days, is there something wrong?" Gu Zheng said immediately.
"That time should still be enough." Zhou Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself.
"What's going on? How did you come here? Who is that person on the other side? Why do you want to arrest you?" Gu Zheng looked at the other party's appearance and became even more strange, and couldn't help but ask.
"They wanted to get this from me, but I had a magic weapon to protect me. Even the other party couldn't break it. Then they wanted to break us into an unknown place and take us away by force. But their wish failed. You saved me.
come out."
Zhou Xuan said as he held a sphere emitting milky white light in his hand, which was flashing in an orderly manner and was as big as a baby's head.
"What is this? It actually allows you to travel thousands of miles to come here." Gu Zheng could only feel a strange aura from above. From his own perspective, it looked more like the inner elixir of some kind of monster.
"Not just me, my husband and some of his elites also came over, but they had already left early and were preparing to attack the enemy from the front, while we found a shortcut to directly reach the enemy's interior, otherwise how could I be trapped by the enemy.
"Zhou Xuan put the thing away and continued.
"What do you mean?" Gu Zheng said with some confusion.
"Xingkong has found the hidden place where the other party is really located. That place seems to be hidden in a semi-enclosed space. It is very difficult to get in. It is said that it is a tomb left behind. There are powerful traps in it. The other party is hiding there, and is currently hiding there.
Use the terrain of the special envoy there to open a new channel." Zhou Xuan continued to speak quickly, making his chest rise slightly.
"But Xingkong also gave us a top-secret message. For this reason, he has been completely exposed, and we don't know what the other party's current situation is. But this time we are here, preparing to open the door to the depths of the world by coordinating the inside and outside.
It's a pity that they also knew it and sent people to block us, and also completely closed the hidden passage we found. If that were the case, if we wanted to get in, we would have to sacrifice a lot."
"So that's it. Now that we have discovered the masterminds behind the scenes, we can't ignore them. You must know that we almost died at the hands of the other party." Gu Zheng nodded and understood what the other party was doing.
It turns out that after so many years, Xingkong has completed his mission, but he is also in a desperate situation.
"It would be even better if you joined us. In order to keep a low profile this time, we don't have any Daluo masters at all. Otherwise, how could that person capture me? By the way, I heard those people say, haven't you already left?
Why? Why are you back?" Zhou Xuan said soberly, and finally asked strangely.
"Do you know the people here? That's right. You've come here, so you must know some people there." As soon as Gu Zheng said it, he knew that he was worrying too much.
"We don't have much contact with the people here. If it weren't for your name, we wouldn't even be able to contact each other. It was a coincidence, but the people here have left long ago. Even if we look for them, we don't know where to start. But
The important thing now is to go to the underground palace in the central city immediately and not let the other party seal the only entrance." Zhou Xuan thought of something and immediately said to Gu Zheng.
"Okay, since we don't have anything to do anyway, let's go with you." Gu Zheng agreed directly to the other party.
Since those people have already left, I will not notify Pan Xuan for the time being and wait until I have the opportunity to go back and find them.
"Great, let's set off now. Because of my late return, our people will definitely expose the location of the underground palace. This will cause some interference to the other party. Although we can also be forced to be disturbed, we will always return it.
I can go down." Zhou Xuan raised his brows and said with a smile when he heard various comments.
"Xiaoying, let's go together." Gu Zheng nodded and said to Xiaoying.
"Sir, I will go wherever you go." Xiaoying said immediately.
At this time, the valley had returned to its original state. The three people immediately walked out the same way they came. After a while to identify the direction, Zhou Xuan took off first, and Gu Zheng and the others followed a little behind.
On the way, Zhou Xuan looked at Xiaoying, who looked like a good girl, and followed Gu Zheng step by step.
"What a lovely child. Don't you really think about our Xingcai? She will miss you after you leave." Zhou Xuan obviously also knew Xiaoying's identity. Seeing the deep love between master and servant, Zhou Xuan said
Can't help but laugh.
"Aunt Zhou was joking. Xingcai and I were just motivated by interests and had to do it as a last resort. My goal is the road, and all sons and daughters love each other so much. I don't have the qualifications or the heart to think about this now." After Gu Zheng heard this, he immediately
said.
"Everyone wants to have a great road, but not everyone has the opportunity. The higher you go, the more cruel it becomes. Since you have chosen this way, I just hope you don't regret it. I won't say anything more. The road of Xingcai is
Just let her go by herself." Zhou Xuan sighed, and then said no more.
The three people bypassed Aurora City and continued to move inside at high speed. After bypassing several cities, they finally arrived at the center of this place after spending a day's work.
Blood Kui City
"Let's go to the city first and find my people. The underground palace has not been opened yet. At least we can rest for a while now."
Far away outside Xuekui City, Gu Zheng and the others stopped in mid-air, and Zhou Xuan spoke.
"Weren't you anxious before? I thought the underground palace had been opened and everyone had gone in." Xiaoying said in confusion after listening to Zhou Xuan's words.
"Actually, the underground palace has already been opened. Originally, we could enter secretly so that others would not know about it. But since the other party already knows, they will definitely want to be like us. If we want to stop the other party, we must open it in advance. In this way,
There is no way for the other party to enter in advance. You must know that this place was originally the other party's place, but the creatures trapped inside mutated, and then something went wrong. Only then did we learn from Xingkong that there was a passage that could be entered directly.
"
Zhou Xuan looked at Xiaoying and explained, saying so much in one sentence that the two of them understood a little bit.
"You mean, where can you go from the innermost side?" Gu Zheng suddenly asked.
"Yes, I will tell you the specifics later. My father's side has already moved towards the specific location of the opponent. Now they are waiting for us to help them reduce the pressure. Let's go down first." Zhou Xuan said to Gu Zheng.
"Okay, this is not a good time to talk. Let's go down together." Gu Zheng nodded and said.
Although I have some questions in my mind, I still know that now is not a good time to talk.
The three people descended directly from the sky and walked inside along the avenue.
This Xue Kui City is worthy of being the center of this place. The huge city made Gu Zheng pay attention to it. Just looking at it, it looks more like a prosperous area.
Not only is there a huge forbidden air formation, but within a radius of thousands of miles, anyone who wants to forcefully fly may be attacked by the formation, and you can feel that there are other extremely powerful forces hidden underneath.
That kind of power even scares ancient people, not to mention the various defensive formations inside. I'm afraid only quasi-sages can be unscrupulous here.
Following the huge flow of people, Gu Zheng and the other three slowly walked inside.
Even around him, Gu Zheng could vaguely feel the restrained momentum, and he felt even more emotional in his heart, how many masters were hidden here, especially most of them were not the kind of peaceful people, and their eyes were everywhere.
Looking at other people, they look like robbers hunting weak prey.
When we reach the city island, more ordinary people live here.
Because the management here is the same as the national legal system, it makes people feel more reassured. No one will take action here for no reason. No matter how strong you are, there is no way you can compare with the law enforcers here.
This made Gu Zheng feel a little worried. If the underground palace was really discovered, even if they went in, there would be nothing they could do with so many people.
The three of them stayed in a quiet place nearby. Zhou Xuan did not go back to his room, but just followed them in.
"It seems like you have a headache too, Gu Zheng." Zhou Xuan sat on his chair and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Of course." Gu Zheng expressed his thoughts without reservation.
"You are overthinking it. In fact, we will not have any interaction with this place at all, and there are so many people here just because the auction that happens once every 100,000 years is about to start in a hundred years, so many people nearby came here in advance."
Zhou Xuan opened his mouth to explain.
"So that's the case, then the location of the underground palace won't be here. If that's the case, let's not go looking for trouble to take revenge on each other. Even the people here can take care of it. Our few people are nothing." Gu Zheng
Said half-jokingly.
"Well, although it's not here, it's not very far from here. Once it's about to open, some people will definitely feel it. But if they don't have that prop in their hands, then most people won't be able to go in, and those people
I don’t know what’s inside at all, so I can at most take some of the treasures inside and go out.” Zhou Xuan nodded and continued.
"Is this the inner elixir in your hand? How many people can you bring in? Do you know what's going on inside?" Gu Zheng said thoughtfully, asking several questions at the same time.
It's best to figure out the situation inside now. Everyone knows the importance of information. Even if you know a little more than others, it is a huge advantage. It can determine life or death at critical moments.
"The inner alchemy can take five people in at the same time. I know very little about it. The only thing I know is that it is the transmission device at the bottom. It can only be transmitted once and the energy must be replenished. In the past, energy replenishment was unknown from below.
After extracting the creatures, most of the opponents have now escaped, and it is estimated that this is the only chance for teleportation." Zhou Xuan said honestly.
"That's troublesome, but it's worth trying." Gu Zheng knocked on the table, making a banging sound, and said subconsciously, but seeing Zhou Xuan's worried expression, he smiled and continued.
"Don't worry. Not to mention the harm they caused me before, just because of my relationship with Xingcai, I want to help you with this matter, don't worry."
"No, it's just that last time you worked so hard that you almost died. This time Star Tyrant and the others are here. Maybe since the enemy knows our plan, we shouldn't take such risks." Zhou Xuan shook his head and said.
"Last time, I got a blessing in disguise, so blessings and misfortunes cannot be compared. In this case, I will wait here and wait together. During this period, I will not go anywhere else. It would be a pity to leave at any time." Gu Zheng looked at it.
The other party thought for a moment and said.
"In that case, I would like to thank you more for Xingcai. This time because it was too dangerous, she stayed there and did not follow. You can rest assured that I will go find my companions first and contact you later." Zhou
Xuan said with a smile on his face.
At this time, she finally felt relieved, but she also knew that Gu Zheng's action, no matter what the reason, was definitely for Xingcai's face, otherwise he would definitely not get involved.
She was wrong about this, but she didn't blame her for thinking so.
At this time, Xiaoying who made no noise looked at Zhou Xuan leaving and then said in a low voice.
"Sir, we are not investigating Master Wuxiang's affairs. If this happens, we will fall into each other's vortex again."
"You are right, even if the other party does not agree with us to follow, we will still follow."
Gu Zheng casually placed a layer of barrier outside and said, but Xiaoying's doubtful eyes followed, so she could only explain again.
"When we returned to the fantasy land of Ruins, do you still remember that strange mountain peak when we went looking for squirrels?"
"Of course I do, we seem to have entered some kind of unknown space." Xiaoying nodded, she could still feel this.
"When I was there, I carefully distinguished myself. There was the remnant aura that persecuted Master Wuxiang. Although it was very faint, I could still feel it. There was also the evil aura behind the black water. It seemed that the two came from the same place.
The source is not the same." Gu Zheng said slowly.
He didn't notice it at all at first, but after the woodcutter's prompt, he looked at it more carefully. If it weren't for the danger in his heart, he would even have to stay a little longer to observe it carefully.
"So that's it. No wonder you said that if the other party doesn't look for us, we have to look for the other party. This saves us the usual time." Xiaoying had no doubts at all, as if she suddenly understood.
"You're right, so now you should improve your condition to the best. I'm afraid you won't have any free time in the future."
After saying that, Gu Zheng walked towards the bed.
Not only Xiaoying, but also himself had to adjust. He had a feeling that he would not be able to relax at all.
Only three days later, Zhou Xuan found Gu Zheng again.
The three of them walked away from the city gate together. Far away from Xuekui City, there were three men wearing Star Alliance services waiting for them. Without exception, they were all masters at the peak of Golden Immortal.
Of course, they were not cultivated by the Star Alliance themselves. These three people were all human elites integrated by the Star Overlords.
When they saw Gu Zheng's arrival, they also had a look of gratitude in their eyes. After all, they all knew that their relatives and friends were able to escape smoothly, thanks to Gu Zheng, especially since the other party had now advanced to Daluo, which allowed them to have
Safety and security.
"In three days, the underground palace will completely open its cracks and provide some tickets for others to enter. At that time, we just need to be careful."
Several people flew in the direction of Yuanli Xuekui City and quickly disappeared into the air.
