The top of the mountain, which had been dark for almost a thousand years, was now brightly lit.
In the only courtyard, the previous clutter has become clean after simple cleaning. It is surrounded by some illusory lanterns suspended in the air, providing bright light for the place.
“You are here to fight in ancient times.”
After doing all this, Gu Zheng also brought those people up. Even the dead person was brought up by the brush.
Others don't know Gu Zheng's identity. Those who have not completely lost themselves were a little numb before, but now they are following behind them cautiously, but there seems to be a little more hope in their eyes. Since they appear here, then
It means that the terrifying demon here has been driven away or killed by the other party, but I am a little worried that it will not just escape from the tiger's mouth and become like a pack of wolves.
With an uneasy heart, they followed the other party. When they reached the top and saw Yan Yufei and Mengzhen, their moods calmed down carefully. After all, such a beautiful woman is usually not that bad.
“Well, there are people down there using people to make cauldrons. I’ve told you all about it in my dream.” Gu Zheng stepped forward and motioned to Mao Bi to continue gathering them all.
"I really didn't expect that someone would do this. If someone finds out, I really don't know how to die." Yan Yufei sighed and said.
"That's why the other party is so careful. You must know that this kind of magic is taboo no matter which race you belong to. It's just a pity that the other party escaped. This should be just the other party's collection point, and a little guy is in charge. Otherwise, we can force the other party to find out.
Wherever the real stronghold is, it can be completely eradicated." Gu Zheng said with some regret.
“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.” Meng Zhen said cautiously from the side.
"Haha, the other party can escape the monks, but not the temple. There must be someone in Yancheng who cooperates. I'm afraid the status is not low, otherwise there will be no problems for thousands of years." Gu Zheng comforted Mengzhen and said.
“Great, we must find them this time, how dare you play tricks on me, let them look good when the time comes.” Hearing what Gu Zheng said, Meng Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily at the same time.
This was the first time she had been tricked, and she felt extremely uncomfortable. She felt even more guilty just now.
"I will let you personally take revenge when the time comes. Now let's settle the people in front of us first."
After Gu Zheng comforted Meng Zhen for a while, he handed it over to Yan Yufei and asked him to pull out the thorn in Meng Zhen's heart. He turned his head and looked at the people standing below.
These people were walking carefully, but except for those three, many of them were barely standing and their bodies were still swaying. This short walk consumed a lot of their physical strength.
)
As Gu Zheng waved his hand forward, white stars suddenly appeared in the sky and fell towards the people in front of him.
The people below had no time to react. The starlight had already fallen into their bodies. Before panic arose in their hearts, they felt a warm current rising up in their bodies, constantly traveling inside their bodies, repairing the hidden dangers in their bodies.
, they soon discovered that their weak bodies were no longer so weak, and at least they felt that they had some strength.
Gu Zheng sighed in his heart. Among these people, those who had lost themselves had no way to recover. They could only let the other party follow carefully. Except for the three strongest people, the others could at most return to normal.
The level of human beings, no matter how talented they are, is useless and they can only be ordinary people. But at least they can live a stable life without any sequelae.
“Thank you, immortal, for saving us.”
After the handsome man felt the condition of his body, he immediately knew that the other party was not with the other party. He was probably a passing immortal who accidentally discovered the situation here and took action to save them.
Luckily the other party arrived in time, otherwise they would have died in the hands of the other party.
"You're welcome. I'm passing by here too. Where are you from?" Gu Zheng stepped forward and said to him.
Most of the people in front of them are still in a haze, only the one in front of them seems to be clearly awake. As for the two people behind them, although they have recovered, they are walking behind them cautiously, looking like Gu Zheng's eyes are evasive and dare not look directly at them.
, obviously not as responsible as the person in front of me.
"Immortal, my name is Bao Luan. This is my cousin Ming Yan and my companion Ye Qiu. We are all from Yancheng, most of them are from there, and some of them should be from Jicheng City next door." Bao Luan faced Gu.
Zheng said gratefully.
"Sure enough." Gu Zheng nodded, "This time the other party used a trick to escape early. You are responsible for settling these people, and know that I will send you back to Yancheng in the morning."
“I would like to hear from Immortal Fu Fu.” Bao Luan immediately raised his hands and said.
He also knew in his heart that although he was saved by the immortal this time, they would also be grateful to him tonight. He was a big favor for nothing, so naturally he felt even more grateful to the immortal.
"The worshiper in our family has an affair with the other party. The other party will definitely know where the other party is, and he will ask the immortal to kill the other party to avenge us." The girl Mingyan suddenly mustered up the courage and stepped forward to stand with Bao Luan.
Together, they spoke to Gu Zheng, their eyes full of anger.
"Cousin, shut up, the immortal rescued us is enough of a gift for us. After we go back, the other party will naturally not dare to come back, so don't trouble the immortal." Bao Luan said to his cousin.
It seems that he is blaming Ming Yan, but in fact he is evading the other party. What if these words anger Gu Zheng? How can the immortals be commanded by ordinary people like them? The other party can let them follow without warning.
“But the other party has killed so many of our clansmen in the past thousand years, how could we let him go? It’s a pity that I don’t have the strength, otherwise I have to chase him to the end of the world.” Ming Yan retorted straightforwardly.
"The opponent has already run away. What can you do with a mere two-star cultivation level, and escape from the sky to the earth to catch the opponent?" Bao Luan quickly glanced at Gu Zheng, and seeing that the latter's face was lifeless, he continued.
"I can't, but there must be something wrong with our offering. Let's go back and report it to the city lord, and catch the other party first before we talk." Ming Yan was not convinced and directly told what he had discussed before.
“Let’s go back now and ask the clan leaders to come forward to avenge us. Don’t make trouble now. Take Ye Qiu to find out if there is anything to keep out the cold.”
"Let's go, my Miss Ming, don't cause trouble." Ye Qiu dragged the other person from behind, trying to get away from here.
How could Gu Zheng be angry? Why did a thirteen-year-old girl care about her? He just waved a golden shield over their heads and shrouded them. A wave of warmth fell on everyone, instantly dispelling the frost at night.
“You go down and calm their emotions.”
After making arrangements, Gu Zheng returned to Yan Yufei and said something to the brush. The latter immediately flew to the right, while Mengzhen flew towards the bottom of the mountain.
Mao Bi was searching for anything missing here, while Meng Zhen was going down to see the condition of the village and see if there were any hidden dangers.
"This immortal should be a good person. You'd better stop talking and just listen to Bao Luan's words."
Due to the appearance of the golden shield, the two people who wanted to go out also came back. At this time, Ye Qiu gave instructions to Mingyan.
“I know, I will ask my father to hire someone to hunt down the other party later.” Ming Ming lit up his smoke to show that he understood.
"You don't need to tell me, everyone who knows the truth will gather together and issue a reward order. The other party will be dead." Ye Qiu said with certainty.
However, although he said this in his mouth, he actually understood in his heart that the hope of revenge was very slim. After all, the world is so big, who knows where the other party has gone, but he still needs to do this gesture.
“Well, let’s go help my cousin.” Mingyan could not think of this. She felt that the matter in her heart had been solved, and a smile appeared on her face.
In the middle of the night, the bright moonlight once again filled the earth, and the golden shield was not as bright as it was at the beginning.
Most of the people below, after being frightened, frightened and happy, had already fallen into a deep sleep. Perhaps this was the first time they had fallen asleep so peacefully here. Originally, they had come here to catch a big dream.
Unfortunately, they all lost their lives in vain, but they were still lucky, at least they waited until Gu Zheng and the others unexpectedly came.
A small number of them were not sleepy and seemed to be still immersed in the joy of being saved. From time to time, their eyes looked gratefully at Gu Zheng standing over there.
Ming Yan was also sleeping on the ground, still covered with a thin layer of clothes. His cousin was naked over there, watching over the people who had lost him with Ye Qiu. The other party left that environment,
Instead, he felt a little uneasy, and he was constantly comforting the other person, trying to calm him down.
It's a pity that those people have no thoughts of their own at all. They are getting more and more violent, and they are about to go crazy. Several golden lights fly over, and these people immediately lie on the ground, frightening the two of them.
Jump.
However, after a closer look, I found that these people had just fallen asleep and were not seriously injured. I was relieved. Even if the other party was like a walking zombie, I would take the other party back. If there was a way to recover in the future, I would still give them to them no matter what.
A comfort to parents.
“Bao Luan, that immortal seems to be calling you.”
Ye Qiu's voice woke up Bao Luan. He looked outside and saw Gu Zheng pointing at him and waving his hand to let him pass.
"It's okay now. You should take a rest quickly. This place is not close to Yancheng, and we still have some time to go." Bao Luan nodded, gave instructions, and walked over there.
“I wonder what the immortal’s instructions are?” Bao Luan said respectfully.
"There are only two things. When leaving tomorrow, each person will be given one of these ordinary elixirs, which will be enough for them to have enough energy to go back together." Gu Zheng took out a bag of elixirs and handed them over directly, along with
A simple outfit.
This small bag was temporarily refined by him, and it couldn't be simpler. After all, there is no need to replenish mana. You only need to give them enough strength to support them back. The rest will naturally be done by others.
“Excuse me, Immortal, what is the second thing?”
Bao Luan sighed in his heart that the other party was really kind and righteous. It would be good for an ordinary person to save them. Now he still thinks about them. He has never seen him before.
"Don't call me Immortal, just call me Mr. Gu. I heard your companion say before that there seems to be a problem with the offerings over there." Gu Zheng asked directly.
"Ancient Immortal, yes, because the other party has known this person for a long time, it is impossible to detect the abnormality here. Even if the other party has not done anything, there is a high chance that the other party is an accomplice." Bao Luan said carefully.
"That's it, that's great. Now you come with me and seize the offering. As for the power, leave it to my others. I will escort him back when the time comes."
Gu Zheng originally wanted to get some clues from here, but he didn't expect that there were traitors in the other side's city. Without further ado, he should leave now to prevent the other side from noticing anything.
"Okay, but usually the other party will be in his own courtyard at night, and we don't know anything inside. It's not far from dawn now. We can go back first, I will tell my father, and then invite the other party to come over and narrate the story the next day, and then the ancient immortal will come back
Take action to ensure that the other party cannot escape." Bao Luan immediately raised his mind.
"Okay, just follow your method, and we will leave after one stick of incense."
Gu Zheng naturally understood what the other party meant. In fact, he was worried that he was not a match for the enshrinement, and wanted to observe it by himself. This would have a buffer for himself and for them.
The other party is really smart to be able to think of this in the blink of an eye.
Of course, Gu Zheng is also afraid that if the other party has any escape route, if they realize their existence and run away early, this opportunity will be wasted. The other party's method can be said to ensure that the initiative is in the hands of this party.
Bao Luan nodded immediately, then turned around and walked downstairs. He wanted to arrange some things, and also gave the bag of pills to Ye Qiu for safekeeping and explained the other party's affairs.
Before it was time to burn a stick of incense, Bao Luan had done everything and started walking again.
"I am ready."
“Okay, let’s leave now. I’ll leave this place to you. I’ll meet you outside later.” Gu Zheng turned to Yan Yufei and said.
“Haha, I’m afraid if you deal with the other party, we may still be outside and it will take at least a few days for them to go back. Just wait for us in the city.” Yan Yufei said with a smile.
Gu Zheng nodded, then grabbed the bag next to him and turned it into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.
“You are really kind to others, but sometimes you can really get yourself into trouble.” Yan Yufei murmured.
He naturally knows why the ancient dispute is like this, and it is for the sake of dreams.
The other party was tricked by that person, which seems to be a lesson, but sometimes it is also an obsession. Only when the other party is personally killed by Meng Zhen can the past truly pass.
After all, when most people encounter their first setback, they will probably never forget it for the rest of their lives.
The chaos here was just a blur. When I came back to my senses, I found myself standing in my own backyard. The moon in the sky was still bright, as if it had not moved. It was quiet around me, and I could vaguely hear someone.
Whispering voices in dreams.
Looking at everything he was familiar with, he knew that this was a deserted place in the backyard. Usually no one came here, and it was overgrown with weeds and desolate. However, his eyes became slightly moist. Only by losing can he realize how precious something is.
.
"How do you know the location of my home and how long it has been?" Bao Luan couldn't help but ask after he came back to his senses.
"About the time I was talking to you, your room was still here, and your breath was still there, so it's easy to guess." Gu Zheng shrugged, "If you are looking for your father, I guess he is still there.
study."
“Please ask the ancient immortal to go with me.”
Bao Luan naturally knew that business was important, so he said immediately without any emotion, and then led Gu Zheng towards his father's study. He walked here carefully, and he could know every position with his eyes closed.
The Bao family is considered a powerful family in the big city of Yancheng. It has a worshiper and a Celestial Immortal clan member. It has good strength and naturally has many branches. However, the main family is still headed by the Bao family.
As the patriarch of the Bao family, Bao Xu does a lot of things every day, but recently, he has always felt a little uneasy.
His only son was sent to Fuling Mountain to practice in the past few months, and his brother's daughter also went with him. Some time ago, his worshiper went to visit him once, and there was no problem, but he
During this period, I always felt that every time I went to sleep, I could dream of my son asking for help.
“Master, you can’t sleep again? You’re worried about the trouble.”
A lady pushed the door in from the outside, holding a steaming bowl of light midnight snack in her hand and placing it on the table nearby. She looked at the frowning Bao Xu and said.
“Yes, aren’t you worried?” Bao Xu said, putting down the account book that he couldn’t stand.
"Why don't you want your own son? But I'm not worried. You have to know that the only immortal in our clan was trained by the other party. Luan'er is talented and smart and will definitely become the second one." The lady's face was full of pride, "You didn't have dinner?
Eat, you'd better eat some of the porridge I made, otherwise your body will be broken."
"Actually, I should rest assured. Forget it, maybe I am too worried, thank you, Madam."
Bao Xu picked up the bowl, smelled the fragrant aroma, and decided to let go of his obsession first. Maybe he was really ill with longing, and he would get better after a while. If his son could become the second immortal, he would really
Worthy of my ancestors.
"As long as you get better, we can get better. You are the backbone of our clan." The lady came behind Bao Xu, held his shoulder, and began to press it slowly.
"I know I have done a lot of harm to us these days." Bao Xu took a big sip first, then felt the energy coming from his shoulders, closed his eyes and leaned on the chair behind him, feeling that all his fatigue had disappeared.
.
“Father, mother!”
At this moment, a figure suddenly broke in from outside and shouted to them.
“Lan’er!”
The lady stopped moving in her hands, looked at the sudden intrusion of Bao Luan with some surprise, and carefully walked away.
“You have also heard hallucinations. Huan’er is not here. Don’t imitate me.” Bao Xu said with his eyes closed.
“Father, it’s really me, I’m back.”
Seeing his father like this, he didn't know whether to feel helpless or moved, so he stepped forward and hugged Bao Xu's arm, and then asked the other man to open his eyes, also showing an expression of disbelief.
“It’s really you, why are you back?”
After all, as long as you are sent there, you will not come back except for going out for training. You can only come back after you have completed your studies. Needless to say, those who cannot come back naturally know the cruelty of the prehistoric times.
"If I don't come back, you may never see me again. That's why I came back." Bao Luan said with a serious face.
"What on earth happened?" Bao Xu sat up straight. He clearly felt that something was unusual.
“I know this may be hard for you to believe, so let the ancient immortal who saved us explain it to you.”
As Bao Luan finished speaking, Gu Zheng's figure walked in from outside.
