The next day, not far outside the checkpoint city.
Gu Zheng was giving Ye Tian the final mobilization and encouragement.
"As long as you find me certain information, I can agree to any conditions. As long as it is within my ability, even if the person you need to find is in the Tower of Hell, I can find a way to find it for you. Understand
No."
"I will go all out to find information about the other party."
Hearing Gu Zheng's words, Ye Tian said very enthusiastically that at this moment he only wanted to help Gu Zheng find someone, and then put forward his own request. He believed that Gu Zheng was not just talking empty words, he just acted for the other party before and made sacrifices.
After receiving so many sin-washing stones, plus these days of contact, I have a rough idea of the other person's character, and I can definitely do it.
"I know there is something deep in your heart, but don't forget it. You have to take good care of yourself. Otherwise, I won't help you if you fail." Gu Zheng said sincerely. He didn't want the other party to endanger himself for the sake of the task.
Get in.
As long as people are around, there will be opportunities. This is something Gu Zheng has always believed in.
"Well, Master Gu, you have paved the way for me so much. If something unexpected happens, it can only be said that I am not capable enough and have failed to live up to your expectations." Ye Tian said very solemnly.
"Master Gu, Miss Sanshun, and two friends, I will take my leave now. See you next time."
Time had been delayed for a long time. Ye Tianyi handed over his hands, bid them a final farewell, and then ran in another direction.
"Grandmaster, what did you ask the other party to do? It feels like life and death. Do you want my help?" Jin Sanshun didn't understand the matter of Gu Zheng, but since he found those big forces and gave the other party such high rewards, he naturally knew that he had
Do important things.
"No, if they can't do it, then how can you do it? Now we should go back quickly to see Yang Du's situation."
Gu Zheng directly rejected Jin Sanshun's good intentions. He noticed that her strength was too weak. Compared with the forces he was looking for now, her role was negligible. Moreover, after Lance came down, he disappeared. He wanted to find her and ask her.
It's really a pity that he can't do it with all the information he knows.
"According to the place provided by Miss Sanshun and our schedule, if we don't sleep, we will have to travel for at least five months to get there." Guang Yu spoke next to him.
"Five months is such a long time. Is there any faster way? I guess I have to go to the center." Gu Zheng frowned and then asked.
"We are only that fast, and that is the fastest speed in theory. In fact, when the two of us came here, we walked for eight months before we got here. We traveled as fast as possible along the way, except for a short period of time.
There are no stops except for rest. After all, the distance is too far. Normally, one year is the normal speed." Jin Sanshun said at the side.
In fact, even if they are exhausted, they will not be able to rush back within five months. The situation Guang Yu mentioned is only theoretical.
"Unless Master takes us flying, we can only run on the ground." Jin Sanshun suggested directly.
Gu Zheng was lost in thought. It was indeed a good idea to take them flying. In this case, it would only take half the time. However, he wanted to check along the way to see if there were any clues, but he was a little worried.
Yang Du's situation.
"Actually, there is another way." Guang Yu spoke at this time, and when Gu Zheng looked over, he continued calmly.
"You don't know that there is a kind of domesticated soul beast in the underworld. Some time ago, one was placed in every city so that the certification personnel there can report anything strange to them in a timely manner.
"
"strange things?"
"Domesticated soul beast."
The former is a question about Gu Zheng, and the latter is Jin Sanshun's focus. The two people's concerns are completely different.
"Yes, it is a strange thing, but I don't know what it is specifically. The reward is very high. Even we have given instructions there, but no one has seen it." Guang Yu said with certainty, "As for the soul beast, it is actually a relatively large one.
The most tamed soul beast can only be found in Hades. It can lead hundreds of people to run at full speed. When tired, it can absorb ghost energy to replenish it, or directly input its own mana. The other party will have half of the conversion, and can run continuously for a year.
time."
"You couldn't have come here on that thing, right?" Jin Sanshun couldn't help but ask after hearing the hint of bitterness in Guang Yu's mouth.
"Yes, bumping on it for a long time is really an unforgettable experience, but the speed is still good, a little faster than us, but compared with adults, there is no comparison, it depends on how the adults choose."
"Where is that thing and how can I use it?" Gu Zheng pondered for a moment before speaking.
"There is no such soul beast in the checkpoint city. There is a faster magic circle there, which can be used to contact the back. However, it consumes too much. Only very important things can be done."
"The closest thing to us is Autumn Wind City in the seventh domain. There is a spirit beast there. It's not far from here. It only takes about a month to get there. From this checkpoint city, no matter where you go, you have to
Make repairs there briefly, and then start heading towards other destinations."
After Guangyu finished speaking, he shut his mouth and left all decisions to Gu Zheng.
Jin Sanshun also looked at Gu Zheng, because here, only people above the Golden Immortal stage can fly in the air, but the height is not high, and the consumption is amazing. Generally, they would rather fly on the ground than fly too high.
And the higher you go, the stronger the evil wind becomes, even the peak of Golden Immortal cannot withstand it, and it is far less casual than in the prehistoric times.
As for the restrictions on Da Luo, no one knows.
"Then let's go to Qiufeng City first and rent the soul beast." Gu Zheng made a decision immediately.
He also knew that the plan could not keep up with the changes. No matter how anxious he was, if he could not complete the goal, then time would be of no use to him. Once he found clues about the two of them, that would be the time for him to really set off. Even if he went there early, it would only be in vain.
Wait a little longer there.
With a plan in mind, the group set off towards Qiufeng City.
A month passed in the blink of an eye, and there was nothing unusual along the way. The same scenery made people really uninterested. In addition to traveling, I usually rested, and at the same time I also deepened my understanding of this place.
Qiufeng City has developed rapidly in the past two years. It is also close to the other seven checkpoints. The city is also developing well, because this is the first stop for many people. The flow of people is frequent and it looks very lively. Of course, it is also attributed to Hades.
The reason for the control.
Just when they set off here, the city lord here had already given up to Hades and no longer interfered with anything here.
Even so, when Gu Zheng entered, he could still feel the lifelessness.
After all, this place is more or less filled with ghost cultivators. Real ordinary people are very rare. Moreover, most of these ordinary ghost cultivators have no desires or desires. Some of them can't find a direction in life. They just settle here and subconsciously maintain their own lives.
.
There is such a large flow of people here, so naturally there are some things that are indispensable. After temporarily staying in a very ordinary place, Gu Zheng asked Jin Sanshun and the others to stay here, and went to the place where the soul beast was with Ye Tian.
Walking on the street where there were a few people coming and going, Gu Zheng didn't pay much attention. He followed Guang Yu directly to the place he mentioned. However, after arriving, he looked in front of him speechlessly, and then turned to look at Guang Yu.
According to him, this place should be an office of Hades, providing certification and a series of other services. But now it looks like it has become a densely packed house, most of which are like ordinary courtyard houses, and some of them look like civilians.
The ghosts come out occasionally and look at them curiously.
"I don't know what's going on. Everything I knew half a year ago has changed so much in the blink of an eye." Guang Yu also looked puzzled, and really couldn't figure out what was going on.
"What are you doing standing in front of our house? If you don't leave, I will call the government soldiers."
A rather old aunt opened the door and looked at Gu Zheng with an unkind look on her face, with wariness in her eyes, giving the appearance of a rural commoner.
"Auntie, I don't mean any harm, I'm just here to do something. This was not the underworld's service center before, so why has it become like this?" Gu Zheng took a step forward with a smile, and then took out a few ordinary ghost coins.
Put it into the opponent's hand.
Maybe Gu Zheng had no ill intentions, or maybe it was the ghost coin in his hand, but the aunt's face looked a little better. "The service point has been moved to the center. Now this place has become our living area. There are patrols regularly. Anyone who dares to arrest
We are going to be imprisoned in the Tower of Hell."
Gu Zheng listened to the other party's words, coupled with the other party's identity at this time, he suddenly had the idea of exploring how there could be ordinary ghosts living.
He understands that in the later period, apart from the chaos in the early stage, there is an area in the underworld that is equivalent to the base camp of ghost cultivators, but it mainly assists those reincarnated souls. It can be said that it has become a cold bureaucrat.
mechanism.
As for ordinary ghosts, there is no room for survival at all, so he was very curious about why ordinary ghosts suddenly appeared here, and they seemed to live there for a long time.
He could definitely see that these houses had the function of automatically absorbing and maintaining them. These ordinary ghost cultivators could live in them forever without replenishing them. It was obviously specially prepared for them.
"That's it. I'm actually an investigator sent by Hades. I need to know more about the situation in various places. Can I ask some questions?" After the other party finished speaking, Gu Zheng pointed to his chest. There was something there.
A mark of six colors.
"Oh, that's it, please come in." The aunt invited them in enthusiastically.
After half a day, Gu Zheng and the two were sent out by a polite aunt.
Gu Zheng and Guang Yu didn't walk far from here and stood in a slightly open place.
"Master Gu, I didn't expect that Hades would want to expand its own strength. Does it want to learn from the prehistoric world, call itself a world, and break away alone?"
Guang Yu spoke with a somewhat difficult tone. As for Gu Zheng pretending to be a member of the underworld, he used a little trick to confuse the other party after entering, and then deceived the other party's words. Naturally, the latter did not know, and Gu Zheng was all in his mind.
Her false memory thought that they were really just asking.
"How do I know, but for Hades, isn't this a good thing? For the people above, at least there is a new beginning. At least they were relatively lucky in the past. Once everything here is on track, they will not be so lucky."
Gu Zheng was also a little confused. He didn't expect that he would make such a discovery when he came here.
He is sure that from the mouths of his master and senior brothers, he still knows the trajectory of some things in the underworld. There is no such thing at all. In other words, some of his memories seem to be a little wrong, or he was forced to talk about it later.
I have corrected myself, but I didn’t say it to myself.
All this is unknown, but now the other party has begun to take the initiative to absorb those ordinary souls, try to gather as many as possible after death, and even build a living place for the other party, and send soldiers to protect them, teach them to practice, and continue to condense their bodies.
It feels like becoming stronger and bigger.
He could even guess the following changes from the other party's words. The other party wanted these ordinary ghosts to serve as the cornerstone of Hades, and then transform Hades from beginning to end, at least relying on the prehistoric approach. What was even more shocking was that the other party also wanted these ordinary ghosts to serve as the cornerstone of Hades.
These ghosts can adopt their own children.
Although they are transformed by reincarnated souls, they are ghost fetuses when they are born, and these ghost fetuses also have souls, that is, among the six paths, it is really shocking to think about it.
This is really an earth-shaking change. I don't know how much energy and time it will take, but I can also see how determined the other party is.
"Perhaps it was my own actions that caused such a change." Gu Zheng murmured.
Because he knew that in his memory, although the Shura clan successfully entered the Six Paths, their vitality was severely damaged. In the future world, they have been reduced to average strength. Even the ancestor who is known as the immortal has fallen into a deep sleep with serious injuries. It seems that
It has never appeared again, which shows how serious it is. I don’t know what I have gone through, and I just found a place of refuge. Compared with now, it is a world of difference.
This still felt that the impact was relatively large. For example, Xingcai saved Shanlong, stopped Wen Tianhou, destroyed the Black Tower, and many more things. He didn't know which one would lead to the current situation, but
I also know about the butterfly effect. Maybe there is a problem in a link that I don't know about.
Moreover, he also remembered Shanlong, who had not seen him since he left. When he left, he asked the Shura clan to help him look for him, but there was no news from him.
"Sir, what should we do next?" Guang Yu watched Gu Zheng being silent for a long time and continued to ask.
"Ignore this for now, we will still act according to the plan." Gu Zheng came back to his senses and ignored these things for now. He couldn't change it.
The two people continued to move towards the center, and soon they saw the new place where Hades was located, occupying a large part of the city center. However, there were only a few buildings open now, and the others were either empty, and they didn't know what they planned to do, or they were just there.
Surrounded by restrictions, no one knows what's going on inside.
Guangyu just took a brief look and headed towards another building that was not open to the public. Considering the size of the other building, if it were here, only that place would be the most suitable.
"No passage allowed here!"
There were patrolling guards over there. When they saw Gu Zheng coming, they immediately stopped them and said in a bad tone.
Although his strength is very low, anyone who dares to hurt them will go directly to the Tara of Hell. It is so simple and violent, and he will be tortured even if he wants to die. There are many ready-made examples, but few people dare to deal with them.
If the guards of the government take action, of course the other party would not be able to take action against anyone else.
"We are here to rent soul beasts." Guang Yu said straight to the point.
"You have something important to do, please show proof!" The guard glanced at the Guzheng fake sign and had no doubts. His face softened a lot, and he asked as usual.
"This is not an important urgent matter, but we need to go back and do some things. This is something we need. We will leave it to them in the next city and continue the rotation." Guangcheng continued.
"Ha, if you have money, you dare to go up to this kind of gold-eating beast. Let's go in." The guard looked at Guangcheng and the others in surprise, but still got out of the way.
"It's just that there are a lot of people, and I don't want to work too hard." Guangcheng laughed and walked inside with Gu Zheng.
In fact, he is not from Hades, and the ancient symbols of Hades can be simulated so fake that they are almost indistinguishable from the real ones, so he adopted this trouble-free method, otherwise it would take at least three days to apply, and there would be surveillance.
It is a waste of time to apply every time along the way, but it is much faster than them.
When it is fully popularized later, it may be much easier.
As for the consequences, they are actually quite serious, but Gu Zheng said that he had a way to solve it, so he didn't say much. He felt that it was not a big deal. After all, the soul beast originally wanted to be launched on the market, but the area under its temporary control was not that large.
There are not enough manpower, so it has not been announced to the public for a long time. It is estimated that in a few years, this will be the way most people travel. There are many such creatures in the hands of Hades.
After Gu Zheng entered, there was no cover at all and he saw the soul beast he needed at a glance.
The building itself is huge, and the spirit beast is about twenty feet tall and more than ten feet in size from front to back. It looks very intimidating when standing under it. In fact, its strength is only in the early stage of the immortal, and its personality is docile, even if it encounters danger.
It can only run away and cannot fight back at all, and its resistance is extremely high. Ordinary poison gas and the like cannot hurt the opponent at all. However, its external defense is also very weak and it is easy to be injured.
"This is a normal state. In fact, it can be expanded three times. It can carry hundreds of people at a time at extremely high speeds."
At the same time as they came in, the man from Hades who raised this place also walked over from the side and said with some pride, "This is the most comfortable body shape for him. If you want to take him away from the city, there will be a mini device."
, put the other person in a bag and wait until he is released outside."
"So convenient, what is that device?" Gu Zheng blinked and asked.
"I want to know." The man looked at Gu Zheng with a smile on his lips.
"Of course, this time we will rent it back." Guangcheng only knew the news leaked from the outside. This was the first time he had seen this spirit beast.
