On a spacious continent, a carriage was cautiously advancing from above. Some civilians were walking on the road. After seeing each other, even if there was enough distance, they stepped back from the road to avoid accidentally colliding with each other.
Wait until the other party leaves before continuing to move forward.
The scorching sun in the afternoon is the hottest time now, especially in the sky. There is not a single white cloud, allowing the sun to shine down unbridled. There is no heat on the ground, so the steam is a little distorted. Travelers walking by are constantly wiping their foreheads.
Sweating heavily, I would occasionally stop to take a sip of water from the kettle to relieve myself from the heat in my body, and then continue on my way.
More people continued to move forward despite the scorching heat until they reached their destination, where they might have time to drink some water.
This is the life of ordinary people, difficult but full of hope.
"Our next step is to go to the nearby Fuling Mountain. After my inspection, we only need to head southwest for more than a hundred kilometers to get there. There happens to be a simple dirt road near a village there.
.”
In the carriage, Mengzhen looked at a very simple map in his hand, pointed on it for a while, and then said seriously.
“That map can still be read for a stick of incense. If I can know the opponent’s position in the blink of an eye,” Mao Bi couldn’t help but say with shock.
There was no way. There were only three patterns on that map. The middle one was the city they left. A big circle represented it. A line extended from the west gate, and then there was a square directly in the southwest, which represented a village.
, there is a rectangle next to the village, which represents Fuling Mountain. Only after Mengzhen said this information after getting in the car did he know what each represents, otherwise no one would know what it is.
If you say it is a random graffiti by a child, I am afraid some people will believe it.
"You are smart, okay? No matter what, this is the information I asked someone to find out. If you have the ability, you can ask." Meng Zhen didn't take it seriously and followed the advice carefully.
No matter what, this is the information she spent half a day and asked many people to get.
This is also Meng Zhen's true sense of acting alone. She asked ordinary people on the street alone, and most of them didn't know. If she asked the local powerful people, they would know quickly, but they wouldn't know.
It doesn't work as a workout.
As soon as Mao Bi heard this, he immediately withered again. In this state, he couldn't change his body shape and go out without being beaten to death as a monster.
"You did a good job this time, and I don't have to worry about you being betrayed by others." Gu Zheng said cautiously from the side.
God knows what he has been through in the past year. Meng Zhen, who is super curious, is simply a troublemaker. Now he is finally getting better. Unlike the wild girl who just ran out of the mountains, she could be kidnapped at the beginning.
, now you basically don’t have to worry about leaving it outside.
"Hehe, I know, but there is still a lot to learn. Sure enough, Baimeng didn't lie to anyone. This ancient world is so exciting. If I were in their position, I would have to find a way out." Meng Zhen was happy.
With a smile on his face, he said without any hesitation.
“You said this master has some quirks, and you have to go through his disciples to find him?” Yan Yufei next to him said with a frown.
“Yes, that person told me, otherwise the other party would not come out to see you at all, and there is a defensive circle outside that most people cannot enter.” Meng Zhen nodded and said affirmatively.
“It’s really a bit strange. Although some of the experts we met earlier were a bit strange, there was no reason to let others inform them.” Gu Zheng also felt strange.
In this year, they have visited many so-called masters. Some of them have disappeared. Some are knowledgeable and some are just seeking fame, but there are still some capable people. Although those people have high or low cultivation levels, they have no
He was an advanced person, but I still helped him observe carefully, but nothing could be done.
After all, their cultivation is limited, even if they have some methods, it will not be effective. After all, it is a more professional Da Luo master who is treating it. Even the other party can't do anything, let alone these people.
However, Gu Zheng did not give up. He was planning to let it go like this. At most, it would waste some time. But he knew that at this time, even if some people were not high in cultivation, they still had some unique methods to help Meng Zhen solve the hidden dangers in the body.
In fact, it is not considered a delay. At this time, Gu Zheng is working overtime and practicing hard. His strength is getting better day by day. With sufficient spiritual energy and elixirs here, his strength is becoming more and more stable. At the same time, he is seizing the time to control Lihuan's body.
The purifying fire is very good when I am so leisurely, just in time to stabilize myself.
"Perhaps the other party is a little strange, what else can they dare to do to us." Meng Zhen was not afraid at all, "Besides, with the brush here, no matter who it is, it can be done, right?"
"That's right, I am unique. There is no one like me before and no one after me. As long as the other party is not as perverted as you, just like those people in front of me, it will be easy to clean up." The brush stopped and he suddenly said,
His tone was extremely humble.
After all, he also knew that each of the three people in front of him was extremely powerful, and he was still a little weaker.
“If you can’t beat us, we’ll do it for you, so there’s no need to be afraid, but I also admit that there are definitely not many brushes who are better than you.” Meng Zhen said with a smile from the side.
“That’s because you have a unique vision. Of course I have to admit that there are always some who are better than me, but in the future, I will definitely be the strongest.” Mao Bi said feeling good about himself.
However, they also have to admit that even if the brush with the power of Yuxi has no power, it is not something that ordinary people can deal with. Even the other party has decided that when he returns, he will prepare to practice and strive to become a more powerful brush.
.
Gu Zheng looked at Mengzhen over there and continued to praise the calligraphy brush. Even if the other party's complimenting skills were terrible, it still made the calligraphy brush laugh so hard that his hair was about to split. He naturally knew the other party's intention, but even Yan Yufei didn't ask, he even
I won't ask.
The relationship between the two was incompatible at the beginning, but now it has become inseparable. The most important thing is that Mengzhen deliberately put down his posture. For Mobi, he is the best listener, and it feels like he has finally met his confidant.
Yan Yufei basically didn't care about things here. He spent most of the time admiring the scenery outside, as if he could never see enough.
As for the white horse pulling outside, it is just like an old ox pulling a cart, paying no attention to what is going on inside. At this time, it is carefully walking from above towards the predetermined destination.
Three days later, they arrived at a standard rural village. Most of the houses were made of wood and thatch, and there were even stone houses. They were surrounded by a simple fence. Nearby, they could be seen planting a kind of low-yielding plant.
of food.
At this time, the sun has set, and most people have returned. Some people are chatting, some are packing their things, and some people are chasing their children. Under the curl of smoke, it is a harmonious scene.
“That person should be the village chief here, and the only stone house is where he lives.”
The carriage stopped outside the village. Mengzhen got off it first, then stood on tiptoes and took a look inside, and then said.
The only stone house is very eye-catching. It is on the edge of the only entrance to the village. You can see it clearly without going in.
"It seems that the other party is at home, so there is no need to go looking for him."
After the argument ended, he immediately knew that the other person was eating in the room, so he nodded and said.
“Do you still want to see each other today?” Yan Yufei asked, looking at the sky that was about to set.
It’s getting so late, so it might not be a good idea to disturb the other party.
Their arrival attracted the attention of the village, especially after seeing them, which caused a commotion. Each of them was not only outstanding in temperament, but also very beautiful, completely different from those who usually came here.
The noise outside also attracted the attention of the man inside the stone house. Before Gu Zheng and the others could retreat, he had already walked out. After seeing the group of people, he also showed a surprised expression and walked towards this direction.
“You are also here to see the Master? I don’t know your identity. It seems that you are not from here.”
Although this man's clothes are a bit shabby, he is still clean. What's more, he has a talented appearance. At first glance, he makes people feel good about him. Even though his cultivation level is only three stars and he is very weak, his words are neither humble nor arrogant.
"Exactly, it's just that it's getting late, we have to wait until tomorrow." Gu Zheng also replied that it would be somewhat rude to visit at night.
“I’m afraid I’m really sorry for everyone. I, Enshi, have been traveling a few days ago and I don’t know when I will be back.” The man hesitated and then said to them.
“What an unfortunate time.” Meng Zhen was a little disappointed when he heard this.
"How about leaving a contact information and I will notify you when my master comes back? But I can't guarantee when, it could be as short as a few days or as long as a few years." The man said politely.
"Forget it, we have other things to do. We just passed by this place and heard about Master Yuan's deeds, so we came here to visit. Since he is not here, it means we have no chance to meet him. What a pity." Gu Zheng said with regret on his face.
"In this case, we will leave first and not disturb you." Yan Yufei said softly from the side.
“If you don’t want to disturb me at all, why don’t you take a rest here for the night and get on your way tomorrow?” the man said with a polite invitation.
“No need to trouble you, it’s no problem for us to travel at night.”
Gu Zheng also walked towards the white horse from behind with the same caution to prepare to leave.
"Then I have something to do, so I won't see you off."
After saying this, the man also turned around and left, preparing to go back.
“I didn’t expect that this place also has such a task, but it’s a pity that the qualifications are a bit too low.” Yan Yufei looked at the other party and said with some regret.
“Yes, the other party’s master looks good too.” Meng Zhen also said with admiration.
Before, she didn't feel anything in front of Yan Yufei, but after seeing him, compared with him, she looked like a crazy girl. She envied him, but she didn't intend to change anything. She felt that she was pretty good.
Meng Zhen looked at the name and returned to the entrance of the village. It happened that two villagers were coming back from outside. When they saw each other coming, they quickly got out of the way and bowed slightly, specifically to clear the way for each other.
“It seems like that person has quite a high prestige.”
Meng Zhen thought so, but when she was about to turn around and leave, she saw the two villagers standing up and looking behind the man. There was a look in her eyes that she was familiar with. Anger mixed with fear, and she felt a little nervous for a moment.
Stunned.
“Mengzhen, let’s go, don’t stay there.”
When Gu Zheng saw Mengzhen standing there, he thought he was admiring the afterglow of the setting sun. The long shadow cast on this small village was really interesting.
“Okay, here we come.” Mengzhen shouted, turned his head and got into the carriage.
The white horse pulled behind and slowly accelerated towards the main road.
"What's wrong? I feel like I'm losing my mind as soon as I get started, so I won't fall in love with that kid anymore, right?" Gu Zheng said jokingly, looking at Meng Zhen who was silent on the side.
“No, I just don’t feel right in my heart.” Mengzhen raised his head, looked at Gu Zheng’s joking expression, and said surprisingly calmly this time.
“It doesn’t feel right? What happened?” Yan Yufei asked beside him. Thinking about it carefully, nothing happened, which was very strange.
"That's right." Mengzhen recounted what he had just seen, "Looking at the other party's appearance, how could the villagers be so frightened? That look was almost the same as the appearance of some prisoners when they saw Wen Tianhou.
"
"So you feel the same way. In fact, I felt something was wrong at the beginning. Although the other person's behavior and behavior were very good, I always felt that the other person's heart was very dark." At this time, the writing brush also appeared from the side and said along.
"Really?" Gu Zheng naturally couldn't see the other person's heart, but the other person's appearance and behavior didn't look alike at all.
"Of course it's true. You have to know that I have the power of the Jade Seal, and I am especially sensitive to some of the sins of human beings. So I guessed that the other party must be the kind of guy with a human face and a beast heart. I have seen many such people before, and later they were all killed by the owner.
Killed." Mao Bi said with certainty, and in order to increase his credibility, he specifically asked Yan Yufei to endorse him.
“Ms. Yufei also knows this. Human hearts are sinister, and any creature has them. This is not surprising.”
Gu Zheng ignored the other party's last emotion and let the white horse slowly stop.
“You want to go and see it?” Yan Yufei saw through Gu Zheng’s decision at a glance.
"Yes, this person is a bit strange. Although we are not able to slay demons, we should take a look since we meet him. It would be better if we guess wrong." Gu Zheng said.
He would not go out of his way to do such a thing, and he would never be able to finish it even if he was exhausted, but if he encountered it, he would not mind taking action to make the sky pure.
But it is just their speculation now. After all, there is a possibility that the other party is domineering in the village, but respectful outside. Although it seems to be two-faced, it is not impossible, and they will not take action at all.
There are some things that you can't do if you want to do it when you come to them, unless the other person provokes you, or you are not afraid of the karma at all. Evil people will be punished, but it may not be you.
With the law of heaven on your head, you will remember everything you do, and you will never see the more famous people do it yourself to do something.
“Leave this matter to me. There is absolutely no way the other party will discover my existence.” Mao Bi said eagerly at the side.
"Okay, but you are not safe. Let Mengzhen accompany you, so that safety can be guaranteed." Gu Zheng will not let him alone. If that person doesn't run away, what if there is something behind him?
It's better to be careful about things.
“Don’t worry, I’ll only follow you at a distance, and I’ll listen to you in everything.” Meng Zhen saw Ma Bi turning around and said immediately.
"Why haven't I found you to be considerate before? But for the sake of my empress, I will let you follow." Mao Bi immediately agreed after hearing this.
After saying that, Ma Bi broke the window and left. Meng Zhen also walked out of the car slowly, following the other person at a certain distance.
Speaking of which, if they were just doing reconnaissance, this guy Mobi could do it, and Gu Zheng would be happy to take a break.
“Do you think there will be a big problem here?” Yan Yufei started carefully.
"How is it possible? The other party has been here for thousands of years and has not heard of any big things. Otherwise, it would have been destroyed by chivalrous people. At most, it is a person with evil intentions. Then it will be enough to teach the other party a lesson.
"Gu Zheng closed his eyes and leaned back, not feeling how serious the matter was.
In the city, he also knew a lot of things from the people passing by. He knew about the situation of the person who lived in seclusion here earlier than Meng Zhen.
Let off some steam.
Yan Yufei was not talking. She thought the same way. With them here, no matter who the other party was, they would not be able to make any splash.
“What a coincidence?”
Mao Bi came to the outside of the village and saw a figure walking out of it. It was the man who had dealt with them before.
At this time, it was just getting dark, and the moon was covered by a dark cloud that came from nowhere, leaving the enemy in total darkness.
Under normal circumstances, the fall of night means that the scope of human activities is greatly reduced. After all, most of the outside world is not their business. Once night falls, all kinds of monsters, monsters, and powerful beasts will come out, and the danger will greatly increase.
Mobi followed the other person, watching him run forward on a familiar road. Along the way, he suddenly stopped and looked behind to see if anyone was following him, but he had no idea that there was a Mobi behind him. He carefully floated away from him.
Above the sky, look at him.
Not far from the village, there is the location of Fuling Mountain, or a relatively high hillside. The small peaks are higher than it. The top is bare except for a large house on the top. However, it looks cautious from this place.
from.
When the man approached the foot of the mountain, he held a silver necklace in his hand, which emitted a faint red light, and ran directly towards the top of the mountain.
Mao Bi observed a little outside and found a hidden phantom formation. It had no attack power in itself, but it was just like a ghost hitting a wall, making it impossible to get up.
But let alone him, anyone with a little bit of foundation can pass it.
This foundation is at least that of an immortal.
With a flash of golden light, the brush disappeared outside, while Mengzhen stayed outside, looking at the house above, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
