As the blue crystal in Gu Zheng's hand was inlaid on the wooden door in front of him, the wooden door in front of him opened automatically, revealing a room entirely made of wood.
However, this place is very different from the places Gu Zheng saw before. It seems to be a real room, with bookcases, tables, chairs, and beds all available. In the candlelight lit all around, you can clearly see the entire layout of the room.
.
While Gu Zheng was observing, a red stone slowly appeared on the originally empty table, and red light flashed across the surface, making it impossible to ignore it.
Other than that, there was nothing but the slight crackling sound of the burning candle.
Gu Zheng took a step forward and wanted to take the stone with similar effects, but as soon as he walked away, there was an obvious wooden groan under his feet, which made him frown a little. The sound was even worse than the last time.
Sound, coupled with the fact that the same cultivation level is banned, I'm afraid we need to be even more careful.
After picking up the red stone, Gu Zheng walked directly towards the only exit, pushed the door open, and revealed the scene outside.
This is a corridor entirely made of wood. There are several candles that have been lit next to it. The candles are as tall as half a person, and there are things that look like white candles burning on them. Although the weak candles are not very bright, they are
It's still enough to illuminate a small area around you, so that you can't see anything in the distance.
In front of you is a sliding door that has been pushed open, revealing a room with the same debris inside. However, these sliding doors look very thin, like a layer of white paper, and you can vaguely see a blurry scene through it.
This should be the trace left by Meng Zhen. When she enters the other person's place, anything she has done will be left behind.
But now that the other party has been captured, it may not be correct to follow the other party's route. After all, although Meng Zhen was captured, he will not stay where he was captured.
In other words, not only did he have to find the place where the other party was imprisoned, but he also had to find a way out of here, and he also had to deal with such ghosts on the way.
There is no chance this time. Once caught by the other party, I am afraid that I am really dead.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng sighed, and then walked to the side. No matter what, he had to touch the nearby terrain first, otherwise he would be blind.
Immediately he slowed down his pace and moved to one side.
Luckily, the surrounding area has been lit up by Meng Zhen, and because of her actions, there does not seem to be any enemies here, and the whole world seems to be just like an ancient struggle.
With his slight breathing, Gu Zheng maintained his strength and continued to move forward.
The last failure was due to lack of physical strength. After all, these demon souls, even if they have no cultivation level, do not need to eat or drink, and are not tired. However, Gu Zheng has no cultivation level here. Under the interference here, the recovery speed of physical strength is simply
It was frighteningly slow, and without replenishment, the physical strength could only drop little by little.
Even if he is different from ordinary people, it is impossible for him to be without consumption.
Time is very precious to him.
The only thing that puzzles Gu Zheng is that all the rooms here have been opened by each other. At a glance, you can see through several passages, because between the passages and passages, except for the wooden walls, there are these houses.
There were some storable things, cabinets and other things inside. Mengzhen rummaged through them all, as if he was looking for something. This reminded him of the rope in her hand that forced her to come up. According to her, it was from the first place.
Things dug out from the archways on the first floor.
But so many people have not found it down there. Is there really something that can help hidden here, or is it hidden too deeply? After people outside have not found it, fewer and fewer people will give up looking for it, and it will spread over time.
Gu Zheng's mind was wandering, and after he had a clear idea of the scope of his area, he began to walk towards the distance.
This place is not infinitely large. The place where the ancient battle appeared is actually an edge. There is no way to the back at all. And the shape is at least not square, because where he is, he has already appeared.
There are several dead ends and twists and turns without any rules.
Gu Zheng had just left this area when he clearly heard bursts of fast running sounds in the distance. However, the sounds did not come from this direction. The other party seemed to be crossing the front horizontally, and soon the dense footsteps disappeared.
.
“It’s a meat ball!”
Gu Zheng waited until the opponent left before continuing to move. He did not expect that the environment here also had some advantages for him. At least this big guy could clearly feel the opponent's direction.
This meat ball is the second enemy encountered in the archway below. It is fat and fat. When it moves, it rolls like a big ball. It occasionally stops to look around and listen to nearby movements. However, its eyesight is extremely poor.
His hearing is extremely strong. He can hear the slightest movement and immediately pursue it.
In the past, most of the physical strength in the ancient battle was exhausted by the opponent. However, there was a heavy stone gate before, and the opponent seemed to be basically unable to enter, but here.
Gu Zheng looked at the thin sliding doors around him, fearing that the opponent could break through them with any attack.
Soon, Gu Zheng came to a crossroads. At this time, it was on the left. The middle part was a little dark, but there were some lights flickering in the distance, slightly illuminating the surrounding scene. It seemed that this should be the direction Meng Zhen was heading.
The front and right side are pitch black, an unexplored place.
Looking around, Gu Zheng hesitated a little, not knowing how to go next, because it was not far ahead, and the meat ball must have passed there. Of course, with the speed of the opponent's movement, it was not ruled out that he would have left there long ago.
For them, it doesn't matter that this place is complicated. Each of them is not an ordinary person. As long as they go through it once, it will be clearly imprinted in their minds, just like a map. They draw the route on it, so they don't have to worry at all.
get lost.
Even where there is something and what the nearby terrain is, I know it clearly, and I will not take the initiative to walk into a dead end. However, the premise of all this is to go through it once. Otherwise, the devil will know where it leads.
But before he could make a choice, someone had already made a choice for him. While he was still hesitating, the candlelight in the distance on the left suddenly flashed, and then began to flash brightly and dimly, as if there was something terrible.
To come over, even light cannot exist.
But for Gu Zheng, it was like some kind of warning. He suddenly remembered the red crystal in his hand that he had never used. Although there was a candle not far away, it also lit up the place, but it also lit up at the same time.
It suddenly makes the dark places around you brighter.
Looking at the bright light around him, he closed the red crystal in his hand again, and then quietly walked into the darkness on the right.
Even if it was pitch dark, Gu Zheng wasn't worried. At least at his own speed, it didn't matter if he hit the wall. What's more, there was no debris in the passage other than candlelight.
And he walked backwards and forward in the middle, his eyes open to the dimming candlelight in the distance.
Just after Gu Zheng had advanced a short distance, the candle suddenly dimmed. After a few breaths, a red light emerged from the passage in front of the candle, and soon a ghost girl he was very familiar with appeared in front of him.
He was dressed exactly the same as before and was still floating slightly in the air. The only difference was that the bell in his hand did not ring, as if he was resting.
Gu Zheng’s figure did not stop moving, and he would hardly make any sound when he moved, as long as the other party didn’t come over so accidentally.
But it was such a coincidence that the ghost girl turned around and walked in the direction of Gu Zheng. Her heart-thrilling cheeks still had a half-smiling smile, which made people feel scared to see her.
“Damn it!”
Gu Zheng cursed in his heart, then moved closer, and at the same time stretched out his hand, and began to gently touch the wall, but all he touched was a cold wooden wall, and there was no door at all.
He planned to quietly open the door and hide in. If the other party didn't know his existence, they probably wouldn't break in. It would be much safer than staying in the passage outside, but he didn't expect that there was no door next to him.
The ghost girl over there was still walking slowly towards this side, still patrolling aimlessly. What made Gu Zheng happy was that the other party didn't seem to notice him yet, but his body was already tense.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t feel nervous. At this time, if you are caught, you and Meng Zhen will be done playing together.
The other party looked like he was not very fast, but in fact he was walking at about the same speed as a normal person. Soon he came to the intersection where Gu Zheng was initially confused about how to walk. He turned around and started walking towards the path Gu Zheng originally took.
The candlelight was also extinguished.
This made Gu Zheng feel happy. It seemed that he was thinking that the other party had not come there for a long time, so he was right in not retreating.
However, the opponent's figure suddenly froze, as if he noticed something, and his walking figure immediately stopped, making Gu Zheng's heart tighten again.
The ghost girl raised her hands, and the bell in her hand also flashed with red light. She suddenly shook the bell in her hand and made a pleasant bell sound, which was reflected by the surrounding wooden walls and had a hint of tail tone.
At the same time, the red crystal in Gu Zheng's palm actually gave off a faint light, illuminating Gu Zheng's body and covering him like a small shield.
And Gu Zheng discovered through the faint light that very weak ripples were rushing past him without blind spots, as if he was exploring the surrounding information, and this time the light that rose independently happened to give Gu Zheng
Protect it so that the other party doesn't even notice the existence of Gu Zheng.
The ghost girl shook her bell and began to walk toward the distance. As she left, the candlelight gradually regained its light and illuminated the surroundings again.
“Good risk, good risk”
Gu Zheng felt the cold sweat on his body and the ringing in his ears was almost inaudible. He breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't expect that the other party had such a hand. If the crystal stone in his hand hadn't taken the initiative, he would have been killed by the other party.
You know, that's when it becomes dangerous.
Although he has survived this crisis, Gu Zheng knows that the next step may be even more dangerous. It is far from simple to leave, and of course it is impossible to relax.
I lit up the surrounding light again and found a towering candlestick next to me. I immediately stood up and leaned over the light in my hand.
The moment it came into contact with the candle-like thing above, the soft candlelight rose from the side and illuminated the surrounding area.
This thing not only drives away the darkness, but in a sense, it can also give Guzheng an early warning of the enemy's movements. It's really a good thing.
Furthermore, the ghost seems not to be aware of it and will not destroy it at all, which adds another layer of protection.
Candlelight illuminated the surroundings, and I saw a room appearing two steps ahead, but the door was still closed, so I had no idea what was inside.
Originally, Gu Zheng was about to leave here, but by some mistake, he opened the door and walked in directly, because he thought that Meng Zhen would come in and search, so he couldn't waste this useless effort. It would be perfect if there was something in there, and look
There didn't seem to be any ghosts in the room.
Different from Meng Zhen, when Gu Zheng came in, the door was closed immediately. Although he couldn't see outside at the first time, he couldn't see himself outside either.
With the help of the light in his hand, Gu Zheng looked around. It was an obviously large room, as if four rooms were connected together, but there were only four doors on the left and right sides.
Besides, there are many things scattered randomly, including tables and cabinets, but most of them have fallen to the ground, giving people a very messy feeling.
Gu Zheng walked a few more steps, and his eyes lit up. He didn't expect that there was a candle inside, so he stepped forward and lit it again, filling the room with a faint light. Although it was still dim in the distance, it was enough for Gu Zheng to put away
Check the light in your hand.
First of all, of course, those were cabinets where things might be hidden. Some of them had been spread out, revealing some blackened clothes inside. He opened the cabinets that were easy to open one by one, but they were either empty or had some stains inside.
There were smelly clothes and other things that couldn't be seen. As for what Gu Zheng was looking for, they didn't have anything at all.
After a while, he opened everything that could be easily opened outside. As expected, he was not disappointed, there was nothing.
It doesn’t matter if it’s an ancient battle. He can’t find it where he expected. He doesn’t expect his luck to be that good.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a cabinet pressed to the ground out of the corner of his eye, but there was also a heavy table on top of him, which he had ignored just now, and he couldn't walk now.
Looking around again, there was basically nothing missing. He originally thought that he had found everything, but there was still this one left, which made him a little confused.
“Forget it, I’m just wasting a little time.”
Gu Zheng felt furious and came to the table, ready to open the last thing. If he didn't open it, he would always feel a little bit at a loss. Even if it was empty, he didn't have to worry about it.
“Zila”
As the table was slowly moved away by Gu Zheng, the sound of friction with the floor suddenly sounded. The harsh friction sound made Gu Zheng stop for a while. The sound was a bit too loud.
“You can’t stop. If the other party hears it, they will definitely come over.”
Gu Zheng originally wanted to take action slowly, but suddenly he remembered that the other party's hearing was so good that he might have noticed the situation here. What made him more determined was that in the little gap that leaked out, a golden light was unusually conspicuous.
.
institutions
Gu Zheng immediately stopped worrying and tried his best to put the table aside. Even the floor next to it shook suddenly. Without any hesitation, he rushed forward and quickly opened the bottom three. On the last floor
When it was pulled open, a golden key appeared in front of Gu Zheng.
Without saying a word, he grabbed it and quickly opened the door. Then, he had prepared a small wooden block and smashed it towards the door.
The fragile sliding door opened a big hole, and the wooden block that passed through it bounced on the ground several times, making a loud sound.
At the same time, Gu Zheng gently opened the sliding door on the opposite side, then extinguished the light in his hand. Then he didn't go much further and sat down slowly against the wooden wall, just less than a foot away from the door he came in from.
Husband.
Even though he was a little excited, he tried hard to suppress it, because at this time, the rumbling vibration was about to come here.
The candlelight outside flickered, and finally suddenly went out, causing the last faint light in front of Gu Zheng to disappear, and he was completely plunged into darkness.
)
There was a sound of the door being broken open in Gu Zheng's ears, and then a bigger vibration came from the side, and there was also the sound of splintering wood, and even several broken pieces of wood flew from the opposite side and smashed directly into Gu Zheng's door.
There was a loud sound in the room that made him even subconsciously hold his breath.
This scene lasted for half a cup of tea before the meat ball exited the room and stood in the passage outside. Even Gu Zheng could hear the other party's heavy breathing. He could imagine that anything in that room
Neither will exist completely.
"boom"
He didn't know what the other party was doing standing there. The door away from Gu Zheng instantly shattered, and a short arm came in. His body stiffened instantly, and he even felt that the blood on his face stopped flowing.
But fortunately, the other party seemed to be just venting indiscriminately and had no intention of coming in. He quickly left the place with a rumble again, letting the ancient contention that had been raised in his throat slowly fall away.
When the sound completely disappeared, Gu Zheng stood up slowly. Unknowingly, his back was soaked with cold sweat. If the other party came in, he would not even have a chance to escape. It was too scary.
Until now, Gu Zheng felt that his whole body was swelling up and down, and his blood was flowing boilingly again.
Meatball gives people real despair, because the opponent is too fast and powerful. On the first floor, Gu Zheng saw many stone gates being broken by the opponent, and even at some corners, they were defeated by the opponent.
Crash it to pieces.
The ghost girl is very weird. Along with her appearance, there is a cold aura that constantly affects you. Coupled with the function of the bell, you can't think and fall directly under the influence of the other party.
In contrast, Gu Zheng is even more willing to face the ghost girl. At least the opponent's speed is not too fast, and although the movement is silent, the bell in his hand is a big flaw. As long as he is not hit head-on by the opponent, he is
It's still easy to avoid the impact.
And once she accidentally bumped into him, it was relatively easy to get rid of him. He had average hearing and average vision. Even in this place, Gu Zheng felt that as long as she opened a few more doors, she would probably lose track of him.
After taking a short rest, Gu Zheng walked out of the room.
