As the bottom of the Immortal Mountain, it is almost impossible to enter by ordinary means.
Because there is a self-contained space below, even if all the volcanoes outside are blown up, it will not affect the inside. The outside is only connected to the outside because they don't want to lose the news about the outside world and completely lock it in here.
After Gu Zheng came down, he immediately added a layer of defense to his body. He felt that the heat in the air was lessened, and then he continued to walk forward.
Although it can't completely block the special atmosphere here, it is enough to let you stay for a while.
"Ancient struggle!"
As soon as I walked out of this passage, I heard a familiar voice. When I looked for the voice, I saw that it was Elder Piao.
At this time, the other party was not as embarrassed and anxious as he had seen before, and his body was filled with a relaxed and lazy atmosphere, which was a great change.
"Why are you here? Do you need your guard down there?" Gu Zheng walked over and asked curiously.
"Have you forgotten? What you did inside actually eliminated most of the hidden dangers. Now this kind of pressure only requires a quarter of the manpower to suppress it, and the other quarter is used for vigilance, and the remaining
You can rest now, you don’t know how many people are grateful to you right now." Elder Piao said excitedly.
Who let Gu Zheng go to save Bai Jiu despite all objections? The final result naturally made others take a higher look at him. After all, he also had a share of the credit.
"Haha, actually I don't even know what I did." Gu Zheng forced a smile. This feeling of being misunderstood was still somewhat embarrassing.
"Miss Bai has already said that it wasn't her, you or anyone else. Forget it, don't say it yet. Miss Bai has been waiting for you for a long time." Elder Piao didn't give Gu Zheng a chance to speak at all.
Lead the way and walk quickly inside.
Gu Zheng had no choice but to follow behind, thinking that it was useless to ask him. He might as well ask Bai Jiu. After all, Feng Ying already knew from Feng Ying's mouth that the other person came out with him before he fainted, but in his memory, there was no such thing at all.
There is obviously something I don't know about this matter.
Along the familiar road, Gu Zheng soon came to a new place.
"Elder Wu and Miss Bai are waiting for you inside, so I won't go in." Elder Piao stood aside and motioned for Gu Zheng to go in.
This made Gu Zheng even more puzzled. The other party was so mysterious. He didn't know what he was doing. He just opened the stone door and walked in. At a glance, he saw the fire wind on the stone bed in the distance, and a beautiful girl stood on both sides.
Bai Jiu, and the kind-looking old man who must be Elder Wu, their eyes fell on him when he came in.
"I don't know what Miss Bai wants to see me for." She was thinking about why she was waiting for her here, and she was already asking Bai Jiu.
"Gu Zheng, I came here this time to thank you in person, not only for saving the fate of the Phoenix clan, but also for saving my life." Bai Jiu said with a smile on his face.
"Elder Huofeng treats me well, and the reward you give me is worth the risk." Gu Zheng said simply.
You have to put forward the conditions before you go in, so don't be modest.
"Compared to the reward we gave, it is really insignificant. I will naturally give you some things later. You won't be able to use most of them, but the Soaring Snake clan needs them very much." Bai Jiu waved his hand and saw that Gu Zheng wanted to say something.
What? He immediately said, "Don't refuse it just yet. In fact, we still have one more thing that we need your help with."
Hearing this, Gu Zheng glanced at Huofeng lying there. He always felt that it had something to do with her. He nodded silently and looked at the other person.
"Elder Wu, you should tell him. It will be easier for you to understand." Bai Jiu said to the fifth elder.
"This is what happened." The fifth elder saw Gu Zheng looking over, and he pondered for a moment before speaking slowly, "Thank you for sending Elder Huofeng back, but during this time I wanted to wake him up, but I found a
Very serious problem.”
"Is Elder Huofeng's injury serious?" Gu Zheng had some doubts. Could it be that there were injuries inside that he didn't know about?
"It's not serious. All the injuries in her body have been completely healed. There is no danger to her life. But if this happens, I'm afraid she will never wake up." Elder Wu smiled bitterly, "It's because deep inside her body, there is a special energy.
Power, this kind of power I have never seen before, and it was not the ancestor who did it. I am afraid that the great elder was already seriously injured before he captured him."
Gu Zheng nodded. It seemed that what he had thought before was wrong. If Huo Feng really had the cultivation of a quasi-late saint, then killing her might be justified. It would be too difficult to capture her alive. After all, she was not a weak person.
"The problem lies in this power. In our previous assumptions, we planned to rely on the power we have here to wear it down little by little. Although it will be slower, sooner or later the Great Elder Huofeng will wake up, but we overestimated
We also underestimated the other party. With our methods, we can't melt the other party at all, nor can we awaken the great elder."
"What do you mean? Let me go to the ancestor and let him take action?" Although Gu Zheng didn't think so, he still asked.
"Of course not." Bai Jiu said from the side, "We still have other ways, but we need your help."
"To be precise, it's the help from Li Huan in your hand." Elder Wu added from the side.
"Li Huan? If necessary, I can stay and let you help Huo Feng awaken." Gu Zheng said this without hesitation.
Bai Jiu and Elder Wu looked at each other, and they still appreciated Gu Zheng's refreshing attitude.
"Although I need Li Huan's help, I still need your help." Bai Jiu was the first to speak, "I mainly rely on Li Huan's pure fire."
"That's right, even if you give us Lihuan, we can't produce pure fire, so it's naturally useless." Elder Wu said with certainty.
When the two said this, Gu Zheng also understood what the other party meant, "You mean to let me bring the fire wind, and then I will condense the fire to help her heal the injuries in her body."
"Yes, I know this takes up a lot of your time, but other than that, there is really no other way. As for sending messages to others, I'm afraid the price we pay will be even greater." Bai Jiu also sighed with emotion.
This was the best plan they had discussed for several days.
"No problem, I will gather the pure fire, but judging from your expression, I'm afraid it will require a lot of it, and it can't be solved in one go."
Gu Zheng also agreed wholeheartedly. He didn't even know how many times Li Huan had helped him. Obviously, all of this must be blamed on Huo Feng. After all, when she gave him Li Huan, she just wanted him to be treated well, and there was nothing else.
He asked, now that Huo Feng has something to do, he couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, we made a preliminary estimate. It will take at least ten steps to wake her up. If we want to completely solve the hidden dangers in the body, at least thirty steps..." The fifth elder said, his tone lowered, and even they were defeated.
At that time, there were no thirty channels.
"In fact, as long as the Great Elder wakes up, he can heal himself after ten steps. At most, he can regain complete victory with less than twenty steps. In fact, as long as the Great Elder wakes up, we can leave the rest to us." Bai
Jiu Zai, who was nearby, was afraid of getting into trouble due to ancient disputes, so he quickly said.
Of course, they also know that even ten purifying fires will make him embarrassed, and they don't know how much time it will delay him. After all, they also know how much time each purifying fire takes, but now they don't have many choices, even if
It costs a lot of money to hire some people, but you don't know whether the other party will take action to offend the person who did it.
"No problem, how can I take Huofeng away? I can't take her with me like this all the way." Gu Zheng agreed simply and neatly.
"I know you are also in a difficult situation. As long as there are difficulties, you will...what, you agreed." Bai Jiu continued to talk according to his own ideas, and he only realized what he was saying halfway through.
"Of course, there are no additional conditions. Don't worry about that. Maybe you think I have always been greedy for money." Gu Zheng shrugged and said casually.
"Of course I don't think so. I know you just made a clear break with us before. Anyway, I really appreciate you this time. Apart from you, I'm afraid there is really no other way." Elder Wu also came up excitedly and said to Gu Zheng.
, "And it doesn't have to be so troublesome. As long as I borrow your Lihuan, I will find a way to take the great elder in. This will not only speed up the recovery, but also ensure the safety of the other party. Just don't let anyone take Lihuan away."
ring."
Elder Wu emphasized his tone at the end. He was not worried about damage to the ring. He was mainly worried about being taken away. The fate of the unsuspecting Huofeng would be unimaginable.
"Don't worry, I'm here with it. Is there anything I should pay attention to?" Gu Zheng solemnly raised his wrist and beat his chest.
"But don't worry, it won't delay your use of Li Huan, and we will also untie you from the shackles of Li Huan and restore its true appearance. You don't have to worry about affecting the great elder, but you need to release Li Huan."
Here, spend some time." Elder Wu also knew that Lihuan played a great role in the ancient struggle, so he said specifically.
If the other party is timid because of the Great Elder, then it is harming the Great Elder. After all, once there is a problem in Gu Zheng, then the Great Elder will inevitably have problems. In other words, the stronger the strength of Gu Zheng, the safer the Great Elder will be.
It's not that they don't allow it, they all want to give many things to Gu Zheng.
"good."
At this time, no matter what Gu Zheng said, he would agree. Just to repay Huo Feng, he immediately took off Li Huan and handed it to Elder Wu. He was not afraid that the other party was deliberately plotting Li Huan, so he used this method.
The chances were countless times better than now. If the other party really wanted to keep Li Huan, he seemed to have no choice.
Besides, he was sure that if the other party really wanted to come back, he wouldn't use such a despicable method.
"This puts me at ease." Bai Jiu also breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of exhaustion appearing on her face. From the time she came out to now, she has not had a good rest and has been busy with various things.
"By the way, Miss Bai, I have some things that I need to ask, can I..." Gu Zheng suddenly asked at this time.
"You come with me, Elder Wu will get rid of you here."
"You should also take a good rest and leave everything to me. I will let you know when you are ready. It won't take too long."
The first sentence is for Bai Jiu, and the second sentence is for Gu Zheng, don't make him anxious.
Bai Jiu understood what Gu Zheng meant. After Elder Wu finished speaking, he took him away from here. Without taking a few more steps, he pushed towards the wall next to him and opened a stone door.
Gu Zheng didn't expect that the walls that looked the same as those around him would actually hide a room. He just paused and followed Bai Jiu in.
This is a very simple room, with only a small stone table in the middle and a few stone benches beside it. The space outside can barely fit two people into it. The surrounding area is airtight, making it a narrow space.
"Sometimes I think about some issues here. It's here that I feel less stressed and can think more carefully. I can sit wherever I want." Bai Jiu sat down and said somewhat relaxedly.
"It's a good place without being disturbed." Gu Zheng didn't want to discuss the other party's problem with the other party. After sitting down, he couldn't wait to ask, "I want to ask what happened inside."
"What happened? I still want to ask you." After hearing Gu Zheng's words, Bai Jiu sat up straight and looked at Gu Zheng strangely, "After I knocked you away, I fell into the trap again very quickly.
The other party set up a trap and then fell into a coma. When I woke up, he had already taken me to the exit. After a short rest, we came out. After counting and asking me to take care of you, he suddenly passed out without warning. "
"Were you sure it was me at that time?" Gu Zheng said with a frown.
"Of course, you still want to say a few words to me, and you have been watched since you came out until now, and you have not been transferred. We have also checked your body and there are no hidden dangers." Bai Jiu looked at Gu Zheng's face.
, seemed to have some clear words, "You mean, you don't know what happened?"
"Yes, my last impression was that I was knocked away by your palm, and when I woke up, I was already outside." Gu Zheng also checked himself, and there was no problem. "And these things in the middle, obviously my body
I am acting on my own, but who can control my body and whether it will have anything to do with you."
"It's impossible, I'm sure of this, but when you say that, I'm a little skeptical." Bai Jiu gave Gu Zheng an affirmative answer. If it really mattered, why bother to sacrifice himself? "When you were talking to me,
, the physical injury has healed, it’s too fast, I was really negligent at the time, I thought you were hiding your strength, and didn’t you realize that your cultivation level has also improved?”
"Strength increased?"
Gu Zheng was a little confused and then checked his body, only to realize that he had once again advanced unknowingly. Although he could advance at any time with the help of the previous Origin Pearl, he felt that it would take decades of accumulation.
"That's weird." Bai Jiu looked at Gu Zheng's expression, "Who is controlling your body there?"
"I don't know either. I can only say that the other party has no ill intentions." Gu Zheng rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache. Anyone who has this situation should be worried.
"Since the other party has no ill intentions, don't worry about it. No matter who the other party is, they will show up sooner or later. You know, even if it's bad, it won't be worse than your situation." Bai Jiu also comforted him.
"That's right. Since you have no news here, we can only wait for the other party to show up. It's really troublesome for you." Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information from Bai Jiu, Gu Zheng stood up and left.
"It's okay. If necessary, just tell Feng Ying. I will go into seclusion next and I'm afraid I won't be able to come out for a while." Bai Jiu also stood up and sent Gu Zheng away.
"Father!"
Gu Zheng just returned to the top. Wan'er, who was chatting with Mr. Xiong, saw Gu Zheng very sharply. She immediately jumped up and shouted, rushing towards Gu Zheng. When she came to the front of Gu Zheng,
He even jumped up suddenly and rushed towards Gu Zheng.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Gu Zheng directly hugged the other party's armpits and spun her around a few times. With the other party's laughter, he put her down.
"Don't be so excited, I won't run." Feeling the strength in his hands dissipate, Gu Zheng was almost hit by his waist.
The opponent's impact felt like killing someone, without any restraint.
"I forgot, I'm sorry!" Wan'er also remembered her actions and stuck out her tongue to apologize. If she had pretended to be straight, she might have directly killed a person at the peak of the Golden Immortal.
"Okay, come down first. I'll stay with you later, okay?" Gu Zheng put Wan'er on the ground and looked at her research and said.
"Okay, are you going to find Sister Xiong?" Wan'er's pure eyes flashed with curiosity.
"Of course, you can just listen by the side." Hearing the other party innocently calling Mr. Xiong, Gu Zheng's mouth twitched, and he quickly glanced at Mr. Xiong, and found that the other party's face was also a little embarrassed, and immediately gave Wan'er instructions.
Wan'er nodded obediently, placed her little hand in Gu Zheng's, and let him pull her forward step by step.
"Congratulations, I finally brought my daughter back." Mr. Xiong looked at Gu Zheng approaching, with an encouraging smile on his face.
"Yes, I really suffered her in the past. I will never leave her alone in the future. I really don't know how she lives alone." Gu Zheng treated it as a joke, not seeing the expression on Mr. Xiong's face, but said with emotion.
This was not something he said to Wan'er on purpose, but he felt it in his heart. A little girl with few similar people around her to communicate with, and having to face the dangers that come from being unaware of them, naturally knows how difficult it is.
Just after Gu Zheng finished speaking, he felt the small hand in his hand, holding Gu Zheng's two fingers tightly, as if they would never separate. He lowered his head and gave Wan'er a kind smile, and the corners of Wan'er's mouth were even more...
The raised eyebrows show that she is in a good mood.
"Anyway, you are reunited." Mr. Xiong just joked, and then asked about Zhu Niao's situation, "When can she come out."
"There's still a while, don't worry, I want you to pick up my friends in your free time now."
Gu Zheng thought of Tang Li and others, as well as Meng Zhen, who were in the city. I'm afraid they were a little anxious these days. He was preparing to implement his plan now. This place was much safer than that city, so it was better to take over.
In fact, if these things hadn't happened, Gu Zheng would have prepared to go down before tentatively arresting Wan'er. Now he can't go down, at least until Li Huan is back in his hands, he is not going to go down.
Now that the five rings cannot be used for the time being, the Li Ring on him is the most powerful. Yunhuang Sword cannot follow him down because it has the Yujuan Space.
"No problem, I'll go immediately if I have nothing to do. Is there anything else?" Mr. Xiong agreed directly.
"Not yet, I'll wait here for you to come back." Gu Zheng thought about it carefully, shook his head and said.
"Father, have you gone to pick up mother?"
As Mr. Xiong left here, Wan'er, who had been quiet all this time, finally spoke, which made Gu Zheng's heart tremble, but he still decided to expose it first.
"No, when I have time later, I will tell you about your mother."
