Looking at Huaying's retreating figure, Gu Zheng also quickly followed him and exited outside.
The old man's cultivation level was at least at the peak of Daluo. When he appeared, there was no sign at all. He even thought that he might have been discovered by the opponent when he got closer.
Just because of the shadow, they didn’t show up until they were close to here.
Thinking of this, he was already sweating profusely. The plan he thought was perfect was completely useless in the face of absolute strength.
Fortunately, his identity was not doubted by the other party here, and the shadow on his body made the other party misunderstand him even more.
If you really rely on the black tower, I'm afraid you will have to save at least half your life before you can get out.
While thinking about his mistake, Gu Zheng and Hua Ying soon arrived at the previous residential area one after the other. Hua Ying who was moving forward suddenly stopped, and Gu Zheng also stopped immediately when he saw this.
“Hey, what are you doing here?” Hua Xin tilted her head and looked at Gu Zheng.
"I was just walking around out of boredom to see what was here." Gu Zheng really didn't know how to explain it. Although this little guy was small, he was not stupid, so he reluctantly found an excuse.
“Tch? Do I believe it? You don’t even want to know how long I Huaying spent here. That old man won’t show up here, so don’t make excuses.”
Sure enough, when Huaying heard Gu Zheng’s excuse, he looked at Gu Zheng as if he were a fool, and said with disdain.
"Okay, actually, I was just curious about why the palace city was sealed off. I got a message from Gucheng. It was said that a strange demon soul was caught by the opponent. I was very curious. You have to know that our fantasy tribe has something special.
Ability, but just changing the appearance is not enough."
"If you want to grasp the opponent's core, you must at least have contact with the opponent. The longer the time, the greater the chance of obtaining it, and the stronger our strength will be. This is why I can't wait to come over and have a look. How did I expect that the protection here is so strict?
.”
At this point in time, Gu Zheng had already thought of a perfect explanation. Only in this way could he reasonably explain his actions. Even if the old man heard it, it wouldn't matter.
He himself admires himself. Fortunately, the identity he found is that of the Phantom Clan, which is simply perfect.
"So that's it. No wonder you came here secretly. But since you are Meng Zhen's sister, you can definitely ask her to help you. It's a pity that I am a calligrapher. When I grow up, I can become a Meng calligrapher.
, there is still a long time, otherwise I would have helped you." Huaying said with some regret.
“I can’t tell, but you still have such potential, so congratulations.” Gu Zheng didn’t say anything, he just flattered you.
The highest among them is the dream calligrapher, the second is the calligrapher, and then there is the fantasy calligrapher. However, as long as the female painting soul is at the lowest level, it is also the calligrapher. Only those who have cultivated to become a human soul will automatically become the dream calligrapher, such as painting.
Her name is Mengying.
However, if they don't make a breakthrough, they will always be the calligraphy generation. As for the group of elders, they are all at a higher level. They are represented by numbers. The higher they are, the stronger they are.
"Hehe, of course, everyone knows that I am recognized to be the next Mengying." Huaying opened her mouth and smiled, that happy, as if she had seen her become a respected Mengying.
"Look at you, do you often play around here? I'm not afraid of anyone pursuing you." Gu Zheng didn't go back so quickly, and just happened to inquire about some news from the side.
No matter how much this figure pretends to be mature, it is a pity that in Gu Zheng's eyes, he is still like a child, and the other party will not be suspicious yet.
"Hey, no one will pursue it at all. That place was originally a place for us to play, and behind it is the residence of the king. Otherwise, you would think that there is no one to guard it. Only every once in a while, someone will help repair and clean it. Here
It's too boring, and the elders don't allow us to go out, so we have no choice but to do this." Huaying said with some pride.
She is a frequent visitor here and often brings others to play here.
"By the way, aren't you curious? We can sneak over there. Anyway, if we get caught, we will be detained for a while at most." Suddenly Huaying's eyes lit up and he said to Gu Zheng.
Since she finally managed to go out under the cover of other friends, it was in line with her wishes to have a good time.
"How to get there? The old man Xu you mentioned is so powerful. Even if it is possible to get close to that side, even if the other party is not there, there are still two guards. You and I can't afford it." Gu Zheng shook his head and said.
Before the old man came over, he was already ready to retreat. The two guards were demon spirits. Wen Tianhou's most trusted subordinates did not need to eat or drink at all, and no one else needed to change defenses. As long as they were willing to stand there thousands of people
There has been no problem for tens of thousands of years.
He was not sure. He sneaked in under the eyes of the other party. He needed to go back and plan carefully to find a safe way. However, the appearance of the old man made him give up the idea completely. It turned out that the other party was not a simple demon spirit and wanted to hide it.
He has no confidence at all in the other party.
Now he thinks that he can only use the black tower to take the risk of transmitting to the opponent's place again. Although the black tower can reach there accurately and directly through the connection of weapons, the fluctuation will be too large and it will be easily detected by the opponent. Once the opponent has it,
Be prepared, you can't take Xiaoying away at all.
This was his last resort, but when he heard Huaying's words, even though he said that, he was actually full of expectations in his heart. From the look on his face, it was clear that there were some ways to get around it.
“You don’t have to look at how long I’ve been here in Huaying. There’s a passage that can go around a long time ago. It’s never been used. If you’re not afraid, I’ll show you around.” Huaying said proudly.
“Whether it’s bragging or not, you’ll know after you see it.” Gu Zheng said deliberately and casually.
"Just take a look, but that place is not here. Come with me." Huaying said immediately, refusing to admit defeat, and immediately flew away in the direction of leaving here.
Gu Zheng followed Huaying back more than half the distance, getting closer and closer to the mountains on the side. When he thought that the opponent would make a hole in a hidden place, Huaying stopped and led him into a very strange place.
Ordinary room.
This room is not much different from other rooms, it is even some distance away from the edge. The only difference is that there are very few clutter inside, as if they were placed here deliberately and randomly.
"We are not that stupid. If we dig it out outside, the other party will soon discover that there is a simple magic circle all over the outside. If we go there, the other party will know it immediately, but before the other party gets it,
We've already dug a tunnel leading there."
Without waiting for Gu Zheng to ask, Hua Ying explained on her own. By the way, she groped for the ground in the corner, then grabbed something and pulled it up. She pulled up a stone slab, revealing a dark hole.
"Let's go. Only in this way will the other party not be able to discover it. Anyway, those cleaning people will not pay attention to this. Don't use your soul power to avoid attracting their attention."
Huaying smiled at Gu Zheng and jumped directly.
Gu Zheng did not hesitate. After hearing what the other party said, it seemed that this was not the first time he had done this. He jumped down and covered the stone slab with it.
The cave is not deep underground, but the tunnel dug is extremely wide, enough for Gu Zheng to stand upright and walk inside.
The dark passage was not an obstacle. Huaying quickly led the way, without any worry that Gu Zheng would not be able to keep up.
In just half a cup of tea, Gu Zheng climbed up from a deep hole. The surrounding area suddenly disappeared, and a large space appeared in front of him.
“You did this?”
Gu Zheng looked around and could see the rough excavation marks on the edge. It was obvious that the expansion had not been completely completed.
“Of course, we can now use our power slightly. The outer formation also provides us with a lot of conveniences. As long as there is not much movement, we can’t detect it from outside.” Huaying said proudly.
Of course Gu Zheng understood what the other party meant. They had started to make arrangements for this place very early. Wen Tianhou didn't even notice that in the mountain range next to him that he thought was safe, a road was opened by the other party. He must have used it.
I don't know the method, otherwise I wouldn't hide it so easily.
“Where should we go next? Is this the only place?”
Gu Zheng looked around, his expression slightly exaggerated to make Huaying feel even more proud, and then he asked.
With this little time, he didn't see any passages leading to other places, and according to his estimation, these two locations were actually on the same level as that room, and still far away from the back. They
It's impossible to dig a passage directly to the inside.
“Of course not, this is where we usually hide and seek, and there are many key points nearby that cannot be hit, so you have to rely on me next.”
Huaying said as she walked towards the corner. When she got closer, she raised her hand, and the picture scroll that belonged to her lit up with green light, and hung on the wall in front of her like a framed picture.
“Follow up quickly!”
The painting waved to Gu Zheng, and she entered the world in the painting. As ripples flashed on the surface of the painting, her figure disappeared into the cave.
When Gu Zheng saw this, he didn't hesitate and followed him directly. He also walked into the scroll. He didn't think that the other party would harm him, otherwise he wouldn't have brought him to such a hidden place. Obviously, relying on Meng Zhen's identity as the heart-wrenching person
, enough to make the other party believe in you.
Even if she wanted to trap him and catch him for fun, she simply couldn't do it with her strength.
With a blur in front of his eyes, Gu Zheng discovered that he had arrived at another cave. This cave was much smaller than before. There were several passages beside it, and he didn't know where they led.
Huaying was standing nearby. When she saw Gu Zheng coming over, she stretched out her hand to grab it, and her scroll returned to her hand again.
This time Gu Zheng has no idea where he is at all. The opponent relies on this to avoid detection, and then opens up hidden passages in some safe places. It's really amazing.
Although the person responsible here is definitely not Wen Tianhou himself, it is really admirable that Wen Tianhou's core subordinates did not find out, and it was a group of them who got through it like a joke.
Seeing Gu Zheng's surprised look, Hua Ying felt extremely proud. With a small hand, he directly directed Gu Zheng to follow him and walk towards the passage next to him.
Gu Zheng is also very obedient, following behind his opponent like a big follower.
After several turns of the other side, Gu Zheng didn't know where he had arrived. When Hua Ying's face was full of exhaustion, they finally walked out of a cave.
This cave is only one foot in size, and even the path out is very narrow. Huaying can barely get out, but Gu Zheng's physique cannot get through at all.
“No, the other party will notice it, so don’t make any big moves.” When Huaying saw Gu Zheng trying to change his body shape, he immediately stopped him in a low voice.
“I can’t get out!”
Gu Zheng knew the other party's worries. They had already reached the real rear of Wen Tianhou, and the defense was very tight. In fact, even if he crawled in this narrow cave, the unknown danger was like thorns, pricking his temples.
Incomparable.
“Come in here, I will take you, you must not come out, your body will be noticed as soon as you appear here.” Huaying pointed to the scroll in his hand, indicating to Gu Zheng to come in.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Zheng did not resist the weak suction coming from the scroll. His whole body turned into a ray of light and blended in. On the small scroll, Gu Zheng's figure suddenly appeared.
Huaying then put the scroll on top of his head so that Gu Zheng could see the outside scene clearly and make contact more convenient, and then climbed out of the gap.
Although Gu Zheng was hidden inside and could not use his spiritual consciousness to look outside, and could only rely on his eyes to look around, but when he came out, he could clearly feel that the connection was instantly closer.
“The cave at the bottom left in the distance!” Gu Zheng said in the picture scroll. He knew that the picture could hear his words.
"Okay, be careful! Don't let out any breath, otherwise we will be discovered in an instant."
Huaying's voice appeared in Gu Zheng's heart, and he repeatedly asked Gu Zheng to prevent the other party from coming out and ruining things.
Their location is also halfway up the mountain and they need to cross a considerable distance to reach the position mentioned by Gu Zheng.
The location is very inconspicuous, and there are many caves here. No one knows whether there is a dead end or another mystery inside. However, Huaying believes that Gu Zheng, the other party should have the unique magic of the Phantom Clan, which can detect a trace that is not easy for others to detect.
Information.
The body of the painted figure gradually became blurred, and the whole person turned into a black transparent mist, clinging to the rocks below, making it very inconspicuous.
Even if you scan this place, you can't find any trace of her.
Huaying carefully moved his body, moving forward bit by bit. The speed was not fast at all, not even one-tenth of the normal speed, but it did not attract any attention. Gu Zheng was worried.
, it took quite a while to successfully approach that side.
“You take a rest, otherwise if something happens inside, you won’t be able to react at all.”
Coming to the door, after confirming that Xiaoying was inside, Gu Zheng said to the painting that he could feel her tiredness in the painting.
"No, once I transform back, the other party will definitely find me. Please help me keep an eye on it. We have reached this point when we go in. I must take a look at that strange creature." Huaying said with some breathlessness.
Gu Zheng had a thought in his mind, and a ball of air slowly emerged from his body, adding to the painting. Although it did not add anything to the painting, it also indirectly cheered up the other party.
Perhaps he was too confident that no one could come here. There was no defense at the entrance, so Huaying could easily sneak in from the corner.
This makes Gu Zheng secretly sigh at his luck. Even if there is only a shallow defensive formation, they can't get in, let alone dig a passage from the side, which is even more impossible.
Even for the passage outside, it took them several thousand years to dig it before it reached such a scale, or it was just a foundation.
The entire passage exudes a cold atmosphere, which makes Gu Zheng, who is hiding in the picture scroll, feel the discomfort. However, instead of being affected, Huaying feels better. It seems that for her, this place is more
Let the other person adapt.
The passage was very long, far more time than they had spent before. There was an oppressive atmosphere around them. At this time, Huaying was not even distracted from talking, so as not to reveal her identity.
I don’t know how long I walked in this long and narrow passage, but suddenly the front suddenly became wider. From where Gu Zheng was, I could see a bright place in the distance, where two silver ghost generals were guarding.
Behind him was where Xiaoying was, he was sure of this immediately.
At the same time, Xiaoying, who had completely turned into a giant black cocoon inside, suddenly raised her head. Her entire body had turned completely black, and her eyes were filled with black mist. A trace of green light suddenly emerged from the bottom of her eyes.
Her mind, which was sinking more and more, became clearer.
“Sir, you are here and I can no longer bear it. I am waiting here for you to wake me up.”
Looking up at the door, Xiaoying raised her arm with difficulty and pointed at her heart with a trembling finger.
As soon as she finished speaking, the green light in her eyes disappeared again, her arms drooped down again, and she fell into a coma. Black rays of light lit up on her body, trying to bind her tightly.
It's just that there was nothing in the deepest part of the heart. The demon soul has no so-called heart, but now a golden symbol is hidden in it, surrounded by a trace of green light, helping it hide here and not be caught by those black people.
The fog is noticed.
However, as soon as Gu Zheng's eyes took a look, the two silver ghost generals seemed to feel something, and they all looked in this direction. Gu Zheng was so frightened that he immediately averted his eyes to prevent the other party from noticing anything.
However, despite this, the two ghost generals glanced at each other, and the ghost general on the left actually left his position and walked towards this side, which made Gu Zheng nervous.
Because as long as the other party comes here, even if the shadow is hidden, with the other party's cultivation level, if you look closely, you can detect their presence.
With a gentle wave of his hand, they had no resistance at all and were taken care of by the other party.
“Can you leave?” Gu Zheng asked anxiously.
This was all happening before our eyes, and we were just a little short of it. In the end, I only caught the other person's attention by glancing at him from the corner of my eye. It was really unacceptable to be discovered like this.
"No, this whole area is locked by the opponent. Once I make any move, I will be discovered, unless" Huaying immediately denied it.
She was not really worried. After all, her life would be safe if she was discovered. It was just that the hidden passage on her side might be discovered by the other party, which would make her feel distressed.
"Don't do anything else. It will be too late. Avoid him first. Then I will promise you a condition. You can do whatever you want." Gu Zheng became even more anxious at this time. Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, he immediately urged.
