Early the next morning, as the bustling sounds appeared around them, Gu Zheng and Wan'er, like others, stood up from the cold ground outside.
Almost every day, as long as you spend the night outside, there is a high probability that some ordinary people with poor health will be unable to stand up. This is especially fatal for elderly people.
Not far from Gu Zheng and the others, with a cry, a slightly older middle-aged man could be seen lying on the ground, and next to him was a teenage boy with somewhat similar facial features, who seemed to be his
The child was crying non-stop at this time.
Soon, several guards who must have been here carried the body away. As for where it was, they only knew that it had entered the city. It was definitely not buried. No one knew what it was doing, and no one dared to ask.
"Wan'er, just be careful outside. I'll go in to find out the news. The action is calling you."
After a brief exchange, I saw that Wan'er didn't want to go in, so I had to leave her alone outside.
"I see."
Although Wan'er wanted to go in, the smell was not blocked yesterday. The smell that almost made people faint really made her feel guilty. She immediately retreated at the thought, so she had to wait outside.
Gu Zheng nodded and felt relieved. No one noticed a boy who looked a little dirty like other children.
When you walk into this city, you feel like you are in a refugee camp. Because it is early in the morning, many places start queuing up to receive their daily meals.
The food is very poor and the portions are not much. It can only be said to barely meet their most basic needs. They even introduced a huge lake in the open space outside so that they can drink water. At least they will not die of hunger or thirst. In addition, the temperature difference here is not big throughout the four seasons.
It's like hanging on to a life.
After these people received the food, most of them ate it on the spot, or kept a small part. Many people lay down all day in order to maintain their strength and not want to starve. There were tens of thousands of people in the city, plus
Going outside is estimated to cost over 20,000.
As for the inside, the outside is not affected at all. A huge shield separates the inside and the outside into two worlds.
Gu Zheng walked all the way to the place where they rested. The top of their head was like a cowshed. The underground was their resting place. Compared with the outside, it had an extra place to shelter from the wind and rain. But once it rained, the people outside were not stupid.
, all squeezed in.
He had blocked his senses for a long time, so naturally there was no way to affect him here. After scanning around, he immediately walked towards a person. There was a man over there who had just eaten and was sleeping back. If there was any difference,
It must be the aura about him that is incompatible with this place.
Most of them don't care about life or death, living day by day without hope, while a few people still maintain their most basic selves.
But before the other party entered, the man in front of him opened his eyes, as if he was aware of Gu Zheng's existence.
"Outsiders?"
This man, who was as thin as a bone, looked at Gu Zheng with bright eyes, which made Gu Zheng feel something in his heart.
"Don't be nervous, I can hear it from your footsteps. After all, I was also a master at the Golden Immortal stage before." The man sighed.
"I know you came here to find someone, right? There have been very few in recent years. Why don't we go out and talk."
The man stood up, patted his body and looked at Gu Zheng.
"Okay, please."
Gu Zheng thought for a while, but still wanted to see what the other party meant.
The two people went out through the only city gate. He glanced at the distance, but he had lost track of Wan'er and had no idea where the other party had gone.
Walking in a slightly relaxed environment, this man took the initiative to speak.
"My friend, I know that you are very confused in your heart. To tell you the truth, I used to be like this. I regretted not listening to the other party's opinions, so I became like this."
Gu Zheng heard from the other party's mouth that they were sincere words. After all, the other party was just an ordinary person. If he wanted to lie, he couldn't hide it from him.
"What's going on? If you tell me this, do you want to stop me from going in?" Gu Zheng guessed.
"Yes, I don't know how many people went in and were arrested. Some died, some were arrested alive, and some, like me, had no cultivation and were just waiting to die like ordinary people." The man smiled bitterly.
"It's actually a trap inside. Why didn't the other party take precautions and open the door for convenience? Because they know that the people who come here are all small-time troublemakers. You must know that the head of the Qi family here is already in the late Daluo period.
Humans, almost no one can deal with him, and he also has two Daluo demon clan and many Jinxian subordinates under him, it is not his turn to take action, and anyone who comes here, just ask, everyone will tell you,
People inside will even reward each other."
"Can you tell me more about it?" Gu Zheng continued to ask, "Can you tell me detailed information about what's going on here?"
Sure enough, it's the same as what Crab said. All you need to do here is to inquire about the other party's identity. It's really convenient.
"No problem, I know a little more than them. After all, I have gone in, but it is of no use. Because the entry position is too shallow, there is nothing that can be kept secret. If you don't mind, I can tell you."
"Of course, if you insist on going after listening to this, I won't stop you. I just don't want to sacrifice anyone."
The man looked at Gu Zheng and nodded, taking a deep breath.
"It's very simple here. Under the inner city, there are twelve passages for people to walk together. However, they are for people inside to enter and exit. If you go in, it will be of no use because the inner city is also divided into
In the two-step part, there is only a flash of golden light to open the passage, and the people are detained there."
"Of course, there is a detection array in the entire passage. Anyway, you will be discovered as soon as you enter. After you enter, you can see the people hanging in the air. If the other party is in good condition, you can also talk to the other party."
Hearing this, Gu Zheng frowned, because this was too childish. When you go in, you can see the imprisoned people. Is this considered being imprisoned?
"I know you are confused, but this is the fact. Although you can see the other party, they are surrounded by barriers. If you want to rescue them, you have to defeat the guards guarding them. I didn't even pass the first level.
, because when he came in, the back road was already closed, and he was arrested later." The man shrugged and guessed.
"Because this is a trap, using these people to lure us into a trap. Unfortunately, we foolishly jumped in. Before entering, we didn't know the information at all. The other party only told us the specific location."
"What is the cultivation level of the enemy there? Are they all stupid enough to go in? Is there anyone with a strong physique before you?" Gu Zheng felt that the other party was telling the truth, but he was puzzled. Even General Lei fell into it, but
It's just recently and it's obviously not normal.
If it is clearly a trap and the opponent places it openly and openly, it is telling you that if you want to intercept it, you have to fight. Eight out of ten people will not go in, because it is impossible to fight head-on if you sneak in to save people.
"No, who would look outside all day long, so you just happened to do it. Just follow my words and leave quickly. People like me can't even leave here. They have been manipulated by the other party a long time ago. Leave the city.
The range is dead." At this time, the man also advised.
"Okay, I'm thinking about it." Gu Zheng nodded without responding directly, "Do you need anything?"
"If possible, can you give me some food? Anything is fine. I'm tired of eating this every day. If I didn't want to give advice to others, I would have freed myself a long time ago." The man looked a little dull.
"This should be enough." Gu Zheng took out some ordinary food, even a chicken drumstick.
"Enough is enough, and you can't keep more. I advise you, don't go. If you want to save him, you might as well think about driving away the monsters. In this case, there is still a glimmer of hope."
After bidding farewell to each other, Gu Zheng first found Wan'er who was near the lake and asked her not to get close there. There were guards from the Qi family guarding the lake. Don't cause conflicts yet, and then he continued to inquire with other people.
This time, he went directly to find an ordinary person outside, but when he wanted to make some innuendo, the other person immediately knew that he was from outside. However, there was nothing strange about him, and instead he couldn't wait to tell Gu Zheng.
His words were similar to that of the man. No matter how he asked, he just knew where he could go in for rescue, but he didn't know exactly what was inside.
"It's so weird, so weird."
After several times in a row, Gu Zheng stopped asking. He looked around and felt that he had been caught in a huge net. Of course, this net was vulnerable to him, but it felt baffling. He couldn't think of anything.
I don't understand. The only thing I'm sure of is that there are some problems in what these people say and what outsiders say, and I just haven't discovered it myself.
At this moment, he felt a little impulsive and wanted to rush forward at all costs. Even if the opponent's quasi-sage master came, he was not afraid.
"Steady, steady."
Gu Zheng took a deep breath and found nothing unusual in his body, so he calmed down.
But at this time, suddenly on the other side of the lake, everyone started to retreat in unison, as if something had happened. He was worried that Wan'er would go there immediately, and soon found Wan'er.
"What's going on?"
The flow of people continued to retreat, leaving a large gap in front of them. Gu Zheng and Wan'er squeezed in front, but saw the other side's guards lined up in a row, as if they were welcoming something.
"I don't know, but suddenly a group of people came. They drove us out and shouted loudly that anyone who wanted to stay here would be killed by the other party. They must have known that, and they didn't feel strange at all."
Wan'er was talking about these common people. Only then did Gu Zheng notice that these people seemed not strange at all and were all waiting quietly.
Gu Zheng glanced at Wan'er, asking her to wait and see what would happen.
Soon the lake in the middle suddenly exploded with a splash of water. When the splash fell, Tingting Yuting's figure also appeared in the air. It can be said that her face is like a Wanyan, her eyebrows are like a distant mountain, and she is as quiet as an autumn orchid. The view is so picturesque that it makes the people around her look like a picture.
Everyone is crazy about it.
The woman just glanced around indifferently, then took out a piece of blue flower and threw it towards the heaven. The droplets swelled up in the air to the size of a millstone, making them look so delicate.
Following the gesture in the woman's hand, the blue flower flashed with blue light and began to spin at an neither fast nor slow speed. Countless blue raindrops emerged from it and fell evenly into the lake below, making the woman in the rain even more beautiful.
moving.
After a full stick of incense, the woman put away her things, then took back her magic weapon, jumped into the lake again, and disappeared.
The guards also left at the same time, and many people couldn't wait to get in and start queuing up to get water. In their opinion, the lake water at this time is the cleanest and refreshing.
"Dad, you know each other."
Wan'er saw Gu Zheng's expression change just now, and then she asked.
"Yes, now is not the time to talk about this."
Gu Zheng stopped Wan'er from leaving here, and did not enter the city again. He just wandered outside aimlessly and continued to think about some problems.
That woman was none other than Ying Shao, whom he had helped before, but she didn't know why she appeared here, and she didn't know where Yao Yu and the others were.
Half a day had passed, and the sun had begun to set below, but Gu Zheng still hadn't figured it out. It was said that many people who wanted to sneak in were caught here. How could there be so many people who went in knowing that they would die?
At this time, two figures suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Palace in the distance, flying quickly towards this side from a distance. When they landed, they were already in front of the city gate.
"Isn't that person the same person we met before? Why are they so arrogant?" Wan'er whispered.
Because the two people who came down were none other than Crab and Jiayu, but Jiayu seemed to have some marks on his face from being beaten.
"I didn't expect that the other party could be unscrupulous here. No wonder he knew so many things." Before Gu Zheng, Osu didn't have any matters of his own, because the other party's strength couldn't help him. It seemed that he had made a miscalculation.
"You wait for me here, I'll follow him."
Perhaps more information could be learned from the other party's mouth. Gu Zheng immediately made arrangements, hid his body and followed.
Here, as long as he doesn't want to, there is no way he will be discovered by them. Unless it is the kind of formation that must be passed through, he does not have the ability to pass through quietly without affecting it.
Gu Zheng followed the opponent and walked towards the inner city. There was a wide road in the middle. Only people from the inner city could walk on it. If anyone from outside dared to step on it, they would suffer.
"Master, could you be so cruel? It still hurts." Jiayu covered his face and gasped.
"Don't talk nonsense. I finally caught you. I won't give you a little memory to show where to put my majesty." Crab said angrily, but seeing that the other party showed no signs of fading for a long time, he couldn't help but continue, "Don't
Pretend to be pitiful and go back to find someone to give you some medicine. Such a small injury will make you crippled, far different from your ancestors."
"How can I be better than my ancestors as a master? When I come back this time, I want to have a good rest. I was almost tortured to death by you outside."
The two people walked around and talked, and soon walked inside through the passage under the inner city.
The inner city is just like the previous city, except that there are more servants. The situation outside has little to do with them inside, and they can still live in a dream.
Following the two of them, they walked all the way inside and came to a place that was even more luxurious than the outside. The two servants guarding the outside immediately opened the door after seeing the crab.
"It looks like your status is not low."
Gu Zheng sighed and followed the other person in. Anyway, these people couldn't notice his presence.
Crab was very familiar with this place. After walking around for seven or eight times, he came to a separate small yard that belonged to him.
"You should rest first. You're exhausted from the journey. I'll go back and rest too."
After entering the yard, Crab said directly to Jiayu.
"Master, did you agree to give me medicine?" Jiayu said cautiously.
"What kind of medicine should you use? Seeing that you are in high spirits, go back."
Crab ignored him at all and walked towards his room. Jiayu also shook his head and returned to his room.
Crab returned to the room, and as soon as he closed the door, he noticed a figure appearing behind him. Before he could turn around, a hand behind him was placed on his shoulder. Crab could not summon the power in his body, and he was suddenly startled. Then he heard an incomparable voice.
A familiar voice.
"It's me, don't get excited."
"Master Gu, why are you here?"
Crab turned around and saw Gu Zheng's figure and asked subconsciously. Then his face showed surprise again. Even in his own room, he was still looking around nervously.
"Master Gu, are you here to save people?"
"What? Isn't it possible? Do you know the inside story?" When Gu Zheng saw the other party's look, he knew there was definitely something hidden.
Crab didn't say anything, but just walked inside, and soon opened a secret door on the side, signaling Gu Zheng to follow him.
This is a very small space, with only one table in the middle. It looks like a temporary conversation space.
"I have reinforced the formation here so that the outside world cannot know what we are talking about." Crab breathed a sigh of relief and sat aside, "This is a trap. Don't rescue anyone."
"What should I say? I think you are doing well here." Gu Zheng asked with great interest.
"I am dragging down the luck of a relative of mine. He is the demon clan who stayed here. His strength is as strong as the peak of Daluo. Of course, if you look at it, it seems that he is only in the early stage of Daluo. I don't know how many people have been killed by this." Crab.
Said bluntly.
"As for this being a trap, you probably asked outside. Fortunately, you didn't go in."
"Did you arrest a lot of people?" Gu Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Many, I'm afraid you have discovered it, but not many can escape. Even so, the other party does not know the mystery here, so if you want to save people, tell me and I can help you rescue them. Except
There are a few special existences, you must not go in, even if you are the pinnacle of Daluo, you will be damaged here."
Facing Crab's repeated warnings, Gu Zheng also understood the seriousness of the matter.
The warning from the person outside may only be based on his own experience, but Crab made it clear that Daluo even at his peak could not escape from it, so there was obviously something fishy about it.
"By the way, Mr. Gu, how long have you been here?" Crab suddenly asked.
"It's been almost a day so far." Gu Zheng said, "Does it have something to do with time?"
"Fortunately, there is still enough time. We are here now. I will tell you in detail when we get out." Crab breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and wanted Gu Zheng to follow him out.
"No, I know what you're thinking. Just tell me here." Gu Zheng pressed his palm down and said in a deep voice.
"All right."
Seeing Gu Zheng's persistence, Crab had no choice but to sit down.
