In addition to the voice that spoke, the old man Eric, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately started chanting in their language.
"Don't be so pretentious. Did you do something secretly just now?"
Not only Jie Hao's eyes were serious, but also Yang Jie, who was smiling like a tiger, also asked coldly.
"Why are you pretending? Isn't it normal for the flames to suddenly burst out in such a strong wind?"
Gu Zheng imitated the old man Eric's accent and said it with a smile.
"You two ignorant foreigners, that is the wrath of Master Vulcan!"
After finishing his prayer, the old man Eric glared at the two of them fiercely. At this time, the bonfire on the ground was burning high and low, like the rhythm of breathing, which looked very strange.
"Look, Master Vulcan is angry. Kneel down and apologize to Master Vulcan. Otherwise, leave here and don't hurt us!"
The old man Eric looked very anxious, while Yang Jie and Xie Hao frowned. As practitioners of internal energy and members of the sect, they knew better than ordinary people that ghosts were real, but in the current environment there were ghosts.
Survival is also extremely difficult and difficult to encounter.
Before, they had suspected that Gu Zheng was causing trouble, but how could such a level of trouble be done by a young boy like Gu Zheng? What's more, Gu Zheng now looked aside with a solemn look, as if he was deeply afraid.
It affects the fish in the pond.
"What are you two still doing?"
Eric, an old man with an upturned beard, reached out to touch the wallet on his waist, apparently wanting to return the money and chase him away.
Jie Hao and Yang Jie looked at each other, and Yang Jie whispered to Jie Hao: "First do what he said and see what's going on!"
Yang Jie said, "Plop", the two of them knelt down towards the dark cliff.
"Here, Master Vulcan is in the flames now!" Eric, the old man, pointed to the bonfire.
"You two come over here!"
Across the bonfire were Eric and Gu Zheng. Although Xie Hao and Yang Jie were just testing, they didn't want to be taken advantage of.
Old man Eric stood aside, and Gu Zheng, who was snickering in his heart, also followed.
The incomprehensible minority voices sounded again. The devout old man Eric tried his best to beg Master Vulcan to forgive the ignorant Jie Hao and Yang Jie.
Seeing that the two of them were almost kneeling, Gu Zheng thought, and the beating flames returned to normal. Now his level of immortal power, coupled with the enhancement of Huoyuan Dan, is no longer the first level when he first obtained the Fire Control Technique.
Now, the improvement of realm has also made it easier to perform the Fire Control Technique. This kind of control at a certain distance can still be done easily.
The crisis for Master Vulcan was over, and old Eric had no intention of eating or drinking. After telling Gu Zheng to rest early, he got into the sleeping bag in the cave.
"You are not a tourist!"
As soon as old man Eric left, Jie Hao, who was sitting by the fire, spoke to Gu Zheng.
"How can I see it?"
Gu Zheng glanced at Jie Hao, who was looking solemnly, and laughed secretly in his heart. He was a true immortal cultivator. Unless he showed off his skills, people like Jie Hao and Yang Jie would not be able to tell anything at all.
"You're a little too calm." Yang Jie also spoke, observing more carefully.
"No way, I was also very scared when Master Vulcan showed up!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"You..." Yang Jie's face turned red, but he didn't know how to refute it for a moment. He didn't believe in any Vulcan master, but he believed that what just happened was abnormal and that something was playing tricks and controlling him.
"People of the Ming Dynasty don't tell secret stories. We are disciples of the Qingcheng Sect. Which sect are you from?"
The more he looked at Gu Zheng, the more suspicious he became, but it was hard for Xie Hao to make an attack if he wasn't sure of Gu Zheng's identity.
"Is this the Qingcheng faction?"
Gu Zheng murmured, and his favorable impression of the two of them dropped again.
As both sects from Sichuan Province, the Emei Sect and the Qingcheng Sect were not at odds with each other. After the Emei Sect fell into disrepair, the Qingcheng Sect often made trouble. It would be an understatement to say that these two sects are feuding!
"Which sect are you from?" Yang Jie asked patiently.
"I don't understand any sect. I'm just a tourist."
Since it was a feud and the other party was so annoying, Gu Zheng was happy to make them unhappy. If they wanted to know, he would not tell them.
“Boy, don’t toast and you’ll be fined if you don’t eat!”
Xie Hao shouted sharply.
"Hehe... Since you are a tourist, don't blame me for bullying you. Give me your naan, I'm hungry!"
Yang Jie smiled sinisterly, starting from robbing the naan cakes and asking for directions. If Gu Zheng obediently gave up, there would be a series of troubles waiting for him in the future.
"You want naan?"
Gu Zheng looked at Yang Jie with a smile, then handed him the naan bread and said word by word: "You'd better eat shit!"
As soon as the words fell, the originally silent bonfire suddenly roared up, and the naan in Gu Zheng's hand fell into the fire pit.
"bass!"
As if being pricked by a needle, Yang Jie and Xie Hao stood up all of a sudden. Looking at Gu Zheng's eyes, in addition to solemnity, there was also a little fear. They were not stupid. If they still couldn't tell at this time, the strangeness of the flames
If it has anything to do with ancient disputes, then their lives have been wasted for decades.
"Don't mess with me, otherwise Mr. Vulcan will be angry!"
Gu Zheng smiled strangely, took a deep look at the two of them, turned around and walked towards the cave.
"Which sect are you from?"
Yang Jie gritted his teeth and asked, but he didn't say he was a disciple or address him as a senior, fearing to hide it.
"Is this all you know?"
Jie Hao also spoke up, but naturally Gu Zheng would not answer their questions.
The cave is only one person deep and 50 centimeters high. There are many stones placed at the entrance. After people enter the sleeping bag in the cave, they can simply seal the entrance with stones to prevent the cold. As for
Speaking of man-eating beasts, although this place is still some distance from the Bayinbulak Grassland, there have been no incidents of wild beasts hurting people in many years.
There are not only earthen dog skin sleeping bags in the cave, but also thick dog skin mattresses on the bottom of the cave. It is very warm to lie in. However, compared to the comfort of Gu Zheng and Eric, Yang Jie and Xie Hao both
People seemed very sad.
Old man Eric did not leave any extra firewood outside, and after Gu Zheng entered the cave to rest, the bonfire outside was quickly extinguished. Late at night, the bone-shattering wind became sharper!
At first, Yang Jie and Xie Hao were able to withstand the cold due to their cultivation. They even started boxing to warm up. However, they soon discovered that this alone was not enough to withstand the cold.
"What should I do? Do you want a sleeping bag from that damn old man?" Yang Jie asked with trembling lips.
"The wind is so sharp, it must be Gu Gu Feng! I've heard people say that Gu Gu Gu Wind doesn't last long, only about forty minutes at most. And time has passed since the wind started.
It can only last for half an hour, so it’s okay if we don’t hold on for a while longer. After all, we are also disciples of the Mingmen sect. We didn’t ask for a sleeping bag before, but now I can’t stand it anymore and if I ask for it, I might be killed by that kid.
Why are you laughing at me? It’s not a big deal to freeze to death, but it’s a big deal to save your face!”
Jie Hao stamped his feet on the spot, rubbing his hands together near his mouth due to the cold.
"No, we are suffering here, but that kid is so comfortable, we can't go on like this!" Yang Jie gritted his teeth.
"What do you want?"
Xie Hao's inquiry was not very confident. It was not that the two of them had not communicated with each other after Gu Zheng left. Although they were still unsure of Gu Zheng's strength, they had defined him as someone who should not be provoked easily.
"If you don't try, it will always be just a guess. Besides, he is in a cave now. Such terrain is very unfavorable to him. Even if he has all the skills, it will be difficult to use them in such a place."
Yang Jie looked at the ancient cave and his eyes gradually became excited.
"How do you want to deal with him?" Jie Hao hesitated for a moment, his eyes also became excited.
"Just teach him a lesson and let him know that our Qingcheng faction is not easy to mess with!"
After Yang Jie finished speaking, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, then tiptoed towards the cave where Gu Zheng was.
"Sleep to death, you little bitch!"
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the stone cave, the excited Jie Hao used his feet like the wind and kicked the stones blocking the entrance directly into the cave.
Yang Jie's face turned ugly for a moment. Jie Hao was always so careless in what he did. Now it was a sneak attack, and Gu Zheng was in the cave again. He kicked the rocks away with such force. If Gu Zheng was not good at cultivation,
It's possible to get crushed to death.
"Huh?"
The worry was only for a moment, and Yang Jie immediately made a confused sound. Judging from the movement of the stone entering the hole, it did not look like it had hit anyone.
"I'm an immortal like you. It doesn't hurt, does it?"
Although Jie Hao was also confused, he still raised his foot again and kicked the stone into the cave.
"this……"
Yang Jie and Jie Hao's expressions suddenly turned ugly. This time the rocks flew in and they were sure that there was indeed no one in the cave, only dog-skin mattresses and sleeping bags!
"What the hell!"
Jie Hao felt the hairs on his back suddenly stand up.
Xie Hao and Yang Jie saw Gu Zheng entering the cave with their own eyes. At that time, Gu Zheng sealed the cave entrance from inside the cave. Xie Hao and Yang Jie were also concerned about it. But now, the stones that sealed the cave entrance are still in good condition.
Yes, but there is no trace of the ancient dispute in the cave. This is a strange event that cannot be explained at all.
At this time, the bone-shattering wind had stopped, and the moon was bright and the stars were sparse in the sky, but Xie Hao and Yang Jie felt colder than before.
"Take a good look at the cave, there may be some mystery inside!"
Yang Jie's voice was solemn, and he bent down to get into the hole.
"Are you looking for me?"
Gu Zheng's voice, accompanied by strong wind, suddenly sounded behind the two of them.
"ah……"
Two screams of pain came out at the same time. Jie Hao was kicked by Gu Zheng and flew backwards. Yang Jie was also kicked by Gu Zheng and got into a small stone cave.
Today is a full moon. Under the bright moonlight, the smile on Gu Zheng's lips looks a bit scary.
"What kind of mountain spirit are you?"
Jie Hao, holding his stomach, asked in horror. Gu Zheng's sudden disappearance and appearance really frightened him.
Gu Zheng did not answer immediately, but kicked Yang Jie in the soles of his feet as he tried to climb out, causing him to howl like a killing pig.
"The mountain spirits are my slaves, and the ghosts are under my control. Who do you think I am? Jie Jie..."
Gu Zheng slowly turned his head in a stiff manner, smiled strangely, stuck out his tongue, and licked his lips with a bloodthirsty expression.
Once you're used to being serious, it's really good to pretend to be a ghost sometimes and scare people. At least Jie Hao's eyes couldn't help but open as wide as possible!
"The Corpse King!"
Jie Hao screamed, holding his head and ran away.
"Ha ha……"
Gu Zheng couldn't help laughing. He was just scaring people, but he really didn't expect Jie Hao to think of the so-called Corpse King.
"What's going on!"
Old man Eric finally poked his head out of the cave at the right time.
"It's okay, we were just joking. Uncle, where are the car keys?"
Gu Zheng winked at Eric.
Eric had already heard a rough idea of what was happening outside. Without saying anything else, he gave the car keys to Gu Zheng.
In the latter half of the night, Gu Zheng decided to spend time in the car.
The reason why I dared to sleep in a stone cave before was because Gu Zheng didn't care about these two people at all. Their combined strength was half of Gu Zheng's. But now I know that these two people do have bad intentions. After all, I have to be careful in the cave.
If you are waiting for them, you might as well just go to the car to rest. They can't sneak up on you through the car.
Without making things too difficult for Yang Jie in the cave, Gu Zheng just kicked him hard on the soles of his feet when he left. This kick, together with the previous kick, would at least make him better tomorrow.
They don’t have much fighting power, so it’s just a precautionary measure!
"If you give me trouble again, it won't be so easy next time."
After throwing a word to Yang Jie, Gu Zheng entered the jeep.
Sure enough, bluffing people can only be done for fun. Not long after, Jie Hao came back after being scared away. The reason why he dared to come back was naturally because he felt that Gu Zheng was not a corpse king.
However, after experiencing the incident just now, both Xie Hao and Yang Jie became honest. Although they still talked quietly, they looked in the direction of the jeep with fear in their eyes.
After monitoring Hao and Yang Jie for a while, Gu Zheng entered a state of meditation. Although his progress in cultivation did not depend on this, meditation is actually a kind of cultivation of the state of mind.
Not knowing how long it had passed, Gu Feng, who was immersed in a peaceful state of mind, suddenly heard a hint of laughter.
Just like a fool laughing, the weird laughter looks particularly scary in the quiet night!
"Why is Jie Hao so angry?" Gu Zheng frowned, and he heard that it was Jie Hao laughing.
"Giggle..."
Laughter started again, but this time the person laughing was Yang Jie, and his voice was equally weird, like a man trying to imitate a woman's laughter. Although the laughter didn't look like it, it was too natural!
Gu Zheng turned to one side, his eyes fell on Jie Hao and Yang Jie through the car window, and instantly he felt that the hair on his body was about to explode!
Under the bright moonlight, Jie Hao and Yang Jie were dancing to the moon. Yang Jie, who was not a girl at all, now looked very feminine, exuding a sense of "charm" towards Jie Hao with every move he made.
Jie Hao also looked at him dreamily. The two danced and laughed, completely forgetting themselves.
However, what really made Gu Zheng's hair stand on end was not Yang Jie and Xie Hao, but a fox as black as ink standing on a rock next to them!
"Gugu..."
A strange soft sound came from the fox's grinning mouth, just like laughter, and its eyes, which were the same color as the moon, were extremely bright!
The bright moonlight, the dark fox, and the strange eyes.
The moment Gu Zheng saw the fox's eyes through the car window, he felt a "boom" in his mind, and he felt like he was about to lose his mind.
With a bite of the tip of the tongue, Gu Zhengxian's power began to circulate, and the feeling that his mind was about to lose control disappeared instantly.
The black fox, which was not originally looking at the jeep, seemed to be sensing Gu Zheng's observation, and turned its head to look at Gu Zheng.
The car windows were covered with solar film. Normally, it was impossible to see the situation inside the car from the window, but Gu Zheng had a feeling that the black fox was looking directly into his eyes! Moreover, the feeling of losing his mind came from
It was stronger than before, which also made Gu Zheng feel that if he didn't look away, he would soon become like Yang Jie and Xie Hao.
Forced by the gaze of a fox, Gu Zheng, who was dissatisfied in his heart, frowned and looked hard at those strange eyes.
"grumble……"
The black fox outside the car window called out, his body trembled, he quickly stopped looking at Gu Zheng, and ran towards the distance without looking back.
After the black fox disappeared, Yang Jie, who was originally in a frantic state, and Xie Hao suddenly fainted and fell to the ground.
"Qi Ling, what's going on with this black fox?"
Gu Zheng was puzzled, except for those strange eyes, he didn't feel any other difference from the black fox.
"This black fox is quite spiritual, but it is not the monster you guessed. However, its bloodline is quite special. It is a descendant of ancient demon cultivators. It is for this reason that its eyes have some magical powers.
ability."
The voice of the weapon spirit sounded in Gu Zheng's mind. There were many demon cultivators in ancient times. Many monsters could transform into human forms and were very powerful. There were many such demon cultivators in domestic myths and legends.
"So that's what happened. However, just a descendant of an ancient demon cultivator, with such powerful eyes, this is really something that cannot be underestimated!"
Thinking of the brief exchange of glances before, Gu Zheng paused and said, "By the way, are those two guys okay?"
"The matter between the two of them is neither big nor small. It can be said that they have confused their minds."
Qi Ling's voice also paused and became a bit reproachful: "It's up to you. If you encounter such weird things in the future, it's best not to show off. Since you know that the black fox's eyes are unusual, don't be tough with it.
, Fortunately, it is not a demon, but its bloodline has given it magical abilities, otherwise you would be the one who suffered the loss! The look you just looked at seemed simple, but in fact it was a confrontation of consciousness."
"Okay, I get it."
There was a hint of worry in Qi Ling's blame. Gu Zheng did not argue with this. After all, he was indeed a little reckless in what happened just now.
"Such a strange beast appears before we even enter the Tianshan Mountains. This trip may be more dangerous than imagined. You should be more careful."
The tool spirit's voice softened and he told Gu Zheng and said nothing more. At this time, old man Eric also emerged from the cave and approached the jeep quietly.
"Ancient Controversy."
Old man Eric shouted softly through the car window.
"I'm fine."
Gu Zheng opened the car door. He understood that the reason why the old man Eric was like this was because he saw the strange black fox.
"You are not an ordinary person!" Old Eric said, looking at Gu Zheng with uplifting eyes.
Gu Zheng smiled and did not explain anything.
"Old man, do you know anything about the black fox just now? You don't look very panicked!"
"They are evil creatures on the grassland. I encountered them once when I was young and almost lost my life. However, as long as you don't look into their eyes, it doesn't matter. Older people, more or less
We have all heard some legends about them. As long as they appear, something big will happen in the Tianshan Mountains. This may have a lot to do with you mainlanders going to Heilongzui!" Old Eric said worriedly.
"Them?" Gu Zheng thought thoughtfully.
"Yes, when I was young, I met a group of foxes."
After Eric finished speaking, he muttered in their language and seemed to be praying again.
Gu Zheng got out of the car, woke up Yang Jie and Xie Hao, and got them into the car. The two people were confused by the fox's eyes, and they became like Alzheimer's. Most of the time they could only be in a daze and murmur to themselves.
.
As the sky grew brighter, Gu Zheng and his party left the Vulcan Valley and continued to move towards the Bayinbulak Grassland.
Nothing special happened during the subsequent trip. After nearly two days, Gu Zheng and others, led by Eric's old man, finally approached the Tianshan Mountains and saw the so-called Black Dragon's Mouth.
The so-called Black Dragon's Mouth is actually a canyon, but according to local legend, this canyon was formed by the dragon's mouth falling to the ground after the gods killed an evil black dragon.
There is only a thin layer of snow here, and exposed black rocks can be seen everywhere in the canyon.
In the open space outside Heilongzui, there were more than a dozen tents erected, and some people were moving outside the tents.
As Gu Zheng knew, almost all the people staying near Heilongzui were from various sects in the mainland. When they saw someone approaching, those outside the tent basically walked towards Gu Zheng and the others. However,
, as soon as it seemed that the person was not their fellow disciple, all the people who were coming turned around and went back.
"Friends, please stay!" Gu Zheng called to the nearest person.
Today's sects may have relatively uniform attire when they are inside the sect, but when they go out to do business, they usually wear casual clothes, so it is rare to tell the sect to which the other person belongs based on their clothing.
"What's up?"
The person Gu Zheng asked to stop was about the same age as him, and he looked kind-hearted.
"Excuse me, where are the people from the Emei sect?"
There was no signal on the phone here, Elder Wuyou and the others arrived earlier than him, and Gu Zheng didn't know where they were or if they were in these tents.
"Emei Sect? I haven't seen anyone from the Emei Sect here." The person in question frowned and then shook his head.
Gu Zheng was puzzled. The other party didn't look like he was lying, and there was no need to lie. But if that was really the case, where were the other people in the sect? They agreed to meet near the mouth of the black dragon!
"Then may I ask, where are the Qingcheng faction people?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"Qingcheng Sect, it's in that tent!"
The person in question pointed to a tent. Seeing that Gu Zheng had nothing more to ask, he turned around and walked back.
"It was fine to come here, but now things may be a little troublesome. Could you please come with me?"
Gu Zheng looked at the old man Eric beside him.
"OK!"
The old man Eric nodded, reached out to pat Yang Jie and Xie Hao, and they followed Gu Zheng's footsteps and walked towards the tent belonging to the Qingcheng faction, like puppets on strings.
Yang Jie and Xie Hao were confused by the black fox, and their situation has not improved so far. Originally, Gu Zheng planned to take them to Heilongzui. What exactly happened after they were brought to Heilongzui was left to others from the Emei sect to tell the people from the Qingcheng sect.
, after all, among the people waiting for Gu Zheng here, two of them are elders in the sect.
Although the Qingcheng sect and the Emei sect are feuding, on the surface, the two sects still try their best to appear harmonious. After all, they are from the same lineage of Shushan, and any grudges they have are kept private.
After bringing Yang Jie and Xie Hao near the Qingcheng Sect's tent, a middle-aged disciple of the Qingcheng Sect walked out of the tent.
"Junior Brother Yang, Junior Brother Xie, why didn't you come until now!"
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the smile on his face turned into confusion, and his eyes immediately fell on Gu Zheng.
"The thing is like this..."
Gu Zheng recounted what happened at Huoshenao, and while he was recounting, another female disciple of the Qingcheng Sect walked out of the tent.
"Is there such a thing?"
The MILF female disciple glanced at Gu Zheng suspiciously.
"Anyway, Qingcheng Sect would like to thank you for sending this person to us. I wonder which sect your friend is a disciple of?"
The middle-aged man clasped his fists, his tone sounded polite, but he also had a suspicious look in his eyes.
"I am from the Emei sect." Gu Zheng sighed in his heart.
"Emei sect?" The two people from Qingcheng sect said in unison, exchanging suspicious looks with each other.
"This old guide can testify to what happened that night." Gu Zheng pointed at the old man Eric beside him.
"What happened that night, what Gu Zheng said is absolutely true." Eric, the old man, touched his chest with his hand, his expression as solemn as an oath.
"Humph, only you yourself know whether it is true or not." The middle-aged woman snorted coldly.
"I really shouldn't have sent them here, they would be bitten back." Gu Zheng shook his head, feeling a little regretful. This good old man would never do it again in the future. If he didn't feel that the two of them were guilty enough to die, and their minds were deceived, they would be punished.
, Gu Zheng will not send them here at all.
"How could you do this? If we didn't bring them here, in their current state, they might have died in the Gobi!" Old Eric was very angry.
"What exactly happened? Once I cure them both, it won't be too late for you to leave."
While they were talking, the middle-aged man had already checked the pulse of Jie Hao and Yang Jie.
"How long will it take you to cure them?"
Gu Zheng felt speechless. After the middle-aged man took his pulse, his brows were almost knotted, and he obviously didn't know what to do.
"I don't know about this, but you can't leave!" The middle-aged man waved his hand, looking a little impatient.
"I'm from the Emei sect. I'm nearby. If you have any questions, you can always come to me. As for Uncle Eric, you should go back first and be careful on the road!"
Gu Zheng didn't want to say anything more to the two of them, so he took the old man Eric and headed back.
"Who allowed you to leave?"
The middle-aged man shouted coldly and stepped aside to block Gu Zheng's way. The middle-aged woman swayed her body without leaving a trace, echoing the middle-aged man, blocking the retreat of Gu Zheng and old man Eric.
"Why, do we need your approval before we leave?" Gu Zheng laughed angrily. These two people who were in the early stage of the third level of cultivation were really arrogant.
"Yes, we let you leave so that you can leave. If we don't let you leave, you can only stay here obediently. Let me tell you, kid, the Qingcheng Sect is not someone to be trifled with!"
Behind Gu Zheng, the middle-aged woman sneered again and again.
"The Qingcheng sect is so powerful? It really scares me to death! I want to see what you can do to me if I leave you?"
Gu Zheng was angry and moved forward.
"Lie down!"
The middle-aged man leaned forward and punched Gu Zheng's chest with a strong wind. This seemed like a simple punch, but it was actually very powerful. In addition to the attack area being the vital part of the chest, the subsequent changes were also very sharp.
But it's a pity that what was hit by the middle-aged man's punch was only an afterimage. Gu Zheng, who used the magical skill 'Misty Body Illusion Technique', escaped from the middle-aged man's attack range in a flash! Even though his punch had many changes,
And all of it turned into nothingness.
"Ho!"
The middle-aged woman was not mediocre either. Even though the "Ethereal Illusion Technique" surprised her, she still kicked Gu Zheng in the head when he stopped.
The body shook again, and the person who was kicked by the middle-aged woman was still an afterimage.
"Lie down!"
Gu Zheng shouted coldly. He launched the attack before the middle-aged woman's kick hit the ground. He raised his foot and kicked her on the left leg that supported her entire body.
"ah……"
The middle-aged woman screamed in pain and hit the ground with a straight posture, her face twisted in pain.
"asshole!"
The middle-aged man cursed angrily, but his move was unexpected, which completely angered Gu Zheng! He actually gave up attacking Gu Zheng, and instead punched the old man Eric!
Eric is an ordinary person, and an old man in his sixties. How could he withstand this punch from a middle-aged man!
"Damn it!" Gu Zheng stepped forward and struck the middle-aged man on the wrist with his palm.
"Click."
There was the sound of broken bones, and at the same time there was the scream of the middle-aged man. The fist he hit the old man Eric could no longer hang down.
To deal with the middle-aged woman, Gu Zheng only used normal attacks, but to deal with this hateful middle-aged man, Gu Zheng used the magical skill "Mountain-Opening Palm".
Experts will know if there is a problem as soon as they take action. The biggest reason why the two people from the Qingcheng faction dared to shout before was that they did not know the depth of the ancient dispute. But now, in less than half a minute, the two of them were injured one after another, which made them lose the ability to continue fighting.
courage.
"Go away!"
The opponent stopped, but Gu Zheng was still angry and kicked the middle-aged man in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.
"If you attack an ordinary person or an old man, are you still not a human being?"
Faced with Gu Zheng's accusations, middle-aged men dare not say a word, but middle-aged women still don't know whether to live or die.
"If you have the guts, just wait for me. Our Qingcheng faction won't just settle this debt!"
"Yeah?"
Gu Zheng sneered, and then his voice became calm: "This time your leg still hurts. If you don't make it happy for me next time, I won't even know it hurts!"
Gu Zheng left with old man Eric, while Yang Jie and Xie Bao naturally stayed in the Qingcheng faction's camp.
"These people are really hateful. Fortunately, you are not an ordinary person."
Walking out of the Qingcheng faction camp, the old man Eric covered his chest with his hands and fear in his eyes.
"Old man, I'll see you off not far away. Please be careful along the way."
There are still unanswered questions, and Gu Zheng is worried about the affairs of several other people from the Emei sect.
"I will, but you have to be careful, especially at night." Seeing Eric's cautious eyes, Gu Zheng gave him a confused look.
"Look there!"
There is something white between the two stones that old man Eric pointed to.
"Wolf dung?" Gu Zheng frowned.
"Yes, this is the feces of gray wolves in the Tianshan Mountains. It hasn't been too long. They haven't been seen for a long time. It is said that they like to eat evil people and people who lie. Gu Zheng, you are a good person and the gods will protect you.
your!"
Old man Eric prayed for Gu Zheng and then left, while Gu Zheng walked towards the Black Dragon Mouth.
People from the Emei sect would not leave for no reason. If they had not left in a hurry, they would have left some mark nearby.
Unfortunately, Gu Zheng searched around and couldn't find the mark he imagined.
"It seems we can only ask people from other sects."
He kept silently and walked towards the nearest tent.
After asking several people from the sect, Gu Zheng's brows furrowed even more.
The missing people are not only the Emei sect, but also several other sects. The situation of those people questioned by Gu Zheng is similar to that of Gu Zheng. They all rushed over to join the people of the sect. But after arriving here, they discovered that the sect
The people inside were not there at all, and no marks left by them could be found.
However, the inquiry was not fruitless. At least Gu Zheng knew which tent belonged to the Emei sect.
Entering the Emei sect's tent, Gu Zheng found the clothes and other things left by the two elders Gu An, Wuyou and Wuyou. It seemed that they left in a hurry like those who disappeared from other sects.
As for many things, they are left here.
After walking around the tent, Gu Zheng found more useful clues.
There is rice in a pot on the ground. The rice has been completely swollen by water. Others cannot see too specific things from it, but Gu Zheng, who is the descendant of Tiexian, can. He based on the swelling of the rice grains.
According to the extent, it was judged that Gu An and others left yesterday evening, and when they left, they should be preparing to cook. As soon as they washed the rice and put it in the pot, something unexpected happened.
At this time, it was already dusk. Even if he wanted to search far away, he could only wait until tomorrow. Moreover, Gu Zheng was just curious and not too worried about the danger of Gu An and others.
Many people disappeared together, and none of them were ordinary people. Things that could really harm them were really unlikely to exist on the outskirts of the Tianshan Mountains, even if it was a fox like the one we met last night, or
It was the Tianshan Gray Wolf that old man Eric called him. After all, the group of people who disappeared came to Heilongzui first, and most of their strength was higher than those who came later.
The news about Tianshan Snow Lotus first came from the mouth of a casual cultivator.
If only the thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus could not have such a strong attraction to various sects, the real attraction is that the thousand-year-old Snow Lotus has given birth to the legendary ‘Tianshan Snow Lotus Seeds’.
Tianshan Snow Lotus Seed is a natural treasure. The 'Snow Lotus Pill' refined from it can give practitioners at the late fifth level a 50% chance of breaking through their own realm and becoming a true practitioner!
'Snow Lotus Pill' is not difficult to refine, but there are many cultivators who are unable to break through in their entire lives and are trapped in the late fifth level! Therefore, for this trip to the Tianshan Mountains, all the sects are determined to win. After all, the inner strength is five
Many sects at this level have it, but immortal cultivators do not.
Which sect has immortal cultivators is enough to make that sect flourish for a long time in the future.
There is no airtight wall in the world. At first, only one sect got the news from the mouths of casual cultivators, but gradually many sects learned about it.
Moreover, the casual cultivator who first spread the news was said to have a very miserable fate! He was chased by various sects, all trying to get the specific location of the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus from him.
Later, the casual cultivator was forced to jump into the river. Before he jumped into the river, he told those chasing him the specific location of Tianshan Snow Lotus.
Of course, the reason why the casual cultivator did this was for a purpose. If more people knew about Xuelian's location, the competition would become more intense. He could also be regarded as indirectly retaliating.
At that time, there were many sects pursuing casual cultivators, but there were only three sects that actually heard the specific location of Xuelian by the river. These three sects were: Taishan Sect, Nangong Sect and Taiji Sect.
None of the following sects knew the specific location of Xuelian, including the Emei sect, and these sects all had a unified approach, which was to keep an eye on the three sects who knew the details, so the people of the Emei sect first
Arrive in one step and wait for the origin of the ancient dispute at Heilongzui.
There is still nearly a month left before the snow lotus seeds mature, and during this period, there will be more and more people near Heilongzui.
Before Gu Zheng set off, the news from Gu An was that the Taishan sect had relented and agreed to share information about the Millennium Snow Lotus with the pursuing sects. However, they could not announce the specific location of the Millennium Snow Lotus yet, but other sects
You can keep following along.
As for the other two sects, there seems to be no movement, but it does not rule out the possibility that they may build plank roads openly and covertly to attack Chen Cang.
There was smoke from the cooking pots outside the tent, and there was a faint fragrance in the air. It was already dinner time.
Although there is the prehistoric space, Gu Zheng still carried a big bag when he came to Tianshan this time. After all, the prehistoric space is like a trump card that cannot be used easily. Some necessities or commonly used things are better left outside.
The materials for the fire in the tent are readily available, and after lighting the fire, Gu Zheng prepares to cook some fairy rice porridge to drink.
In the open space outside Heilongzui, the tents between the sects are separated by a certain distance.
At this time, outside the Taishan sect's tent, five men, all in their 37s and 18s, were surrounding the campfire with eyes full of anticipation.
"Gudong..."
I don't know who swallowed the saliva, which made the leader of the five people make a sound of disgust.
"As for that? It's not like I haven't eaten it. Isn't it a shame?"
Having said that, the fat man in charge had a proud look on his face.
"Senior Brother Wu, you know how to cook it. You can eat it whenever you want! But it's really difficult for a few of us to taste your cooking once!"
"That's right, the last time I ate the beggar's chicken cooked by Senior Brother Wu was a year ago!"
"Brother, the beggar's chicken is not ready yet? I'm still waiting for it to eat!"
A few junior brothers were making a fuss, talking about anything.
"Virtue!" Senior Brother Wu scolded with a smile, used a stick to open up the bulging ground, and pulled out a dried mud ball from inside.
"Click..."
A crisp sound sounded, and the cracks in the mud ball were knocked open by Brother Wu, and a meaty aroma that made people's index fingers tremble immediately wafted out from it.
"Gudong..."
The sound of swallowing was loud.
“I’ve only had beggar’s chicken before, but it seems like this is my first time eating beggar’s chicken made from pheasant!”
"Who says it's not the case! I'm looking forward to it just thinking about it!"
"Senior Brother Wu is really a fastidious person. At first I was wondering, how can we make beggar's chicken without lotus leaves here? But I didn't expect that Senior Brother Wu actually brought lotus leaves from the mainland!"
"What is professional? This is called professional!"
Senior Brother Wu was very impressed by the compliments from several junior brothers, but when he heard the description of professional, Senior Brother Wu immediately corrected himself.
"Wrong, I am not a cook, and I have never deliberately learned to cook. I am just very talented in this area. But having said that, if I were your senior brother and I specialized in cooking, huh..."
Senior Brother Wu stopped talking, the pride on his face was obvious.
All the junior brothers started to praise again, but Senior Brother Wu, who was peeling the lotus leaves of the beggar's chicken, suddenly stopped what he was doing.
"Senior Brother Wu, what's wrong with you?" Under the puzzled eyes of all the junior brothers, Senior Brother Wu sniffed quickly and stood up.
"Delicious, rare delicious! I have never smelled this indescribable fragrance!"
Senior Brother Wu's eyes shone brightly, and he rushed toward the Emei Sect's tent as if the wind was stepping on his feet.
"Fragrant fragrance? Why didn't I smell it? I only smelled the fragrance of beggar's chicken!"
"Damn it, Senior Brother Wu ran away with the beggar chicken!"
"Routine!"
All the junior brothers screamed strangely and rushed to chase him.
The Taishan sect's tent was actually quite far away from the Emei sect's tent. During the chase, the junior brothers also discovered that they had actually misunderstood Senior Brother Wu. Now they had smelled a fresh fragrance, a rice fragrance that shocked people's appetite.
.
When the junior brothers caught up with him, he was standing blankly outside the Emei sect's tent. Inside the tent, there was a young man sitting, enjoying a bowl of white rice porridge.
"Gudong..." The sound of swallowing came again.
"Is the porridge he drinks made from fragrant rice? Why does it taste so fragrant!"
"Have you ever tasted porridge made from fragrant rice?"
"No!"
"Then how do you know it's fragrant rice? This is definitely not fragrant rice. I don't believe that an ordinary bowl of fragrant rice porridge can make me salivate!"
"Okay, be quiet!"
Senior Brother Wu woke up from the shock and called out to several junior brothers who were talking in low voices.
"hey-hey……"
First, he gave Gu Zheng a flattering smile, and then Senior Brother Wu spoke sincerely.
"Friends from the Emei sect, do you still have the porridge? Can you let me try it too?"
"Senior brother, you are not kind!"
"That's right! Friends from the Emei sect, do you still have this porridge?"
Some of the junior brothers suddenly quit. They thought that Senior Brother Wu would ask something else first, but who would have thought that he would ask for it as soon as he opened his mouth? Everyone understands the principle of striking first, which also made them curse secretly.
Senior Brother Wu is despicable.
Gu Zheng didn't answer immediately. He looked at the group of wolf-like eyes and drank the rice porridge quickly.
"I'm sorry, I'm alone. I only cooked a bowl of porridge."
Gu Zheng put down the bowl and burped comfortably, and there was a sound of gritting teeth from the other side.
"Friend, what kind of rice is used for cooking porridge? Do you still have it here?" Senior Brother Wu refused to give up.
"This is a kind of rice grown by ethnic minorities. It is very difficult to obtain. I no longer have it here." Gu Zheng smiled apologetically.
"whispering sound……"
Disappointed voices sounded, and except for Senior Brother Wu, all four Junior Brothers looked listless.
"You go back first! I will discuss the delicious issue with this friend. You can take this chicken back and eat it while it's hot!"
Brother Wu gave away the beggar's chicken that he originally regarded as a treasure. After smelling the aroma of rice porridge and the smell of the beggar's chicken, he always felt as if it was rancid.
The juniors happily took over the beggar's chicken and left happily. They didn't forget to discuss how to share the beggar's chicken while walking on the road.
"hey-hey……"
Seeing his junior brothers walking away, Senior Brother Wu once again tried to please Gu Zheng with a smile.
"Is it really gone?"
"Yes, there are, but it's just a little bit less."
Gu Zheng opened the lid of the pot, and there was still a little residual soup left in it. He probably let it flow well and it would look like the bottom of a bowl.
"Can you let me try it?"
Senior Brother Wu's eyes widened, and the way the sticky rice soup was poured into the bowl in an ancient style was seductive and beautiful, as if he was pouring honey.
"Okay, but Mingren won't tell secrets. I want to know some information about the Millennium Snow Lotus that has not been announced to the public. The more important the better!"
A small amount of rice porridge was stirred up in Gu Zheng, and it was slowly shaking, just like shaking a glass of high-alcohol wine.
Senior Brother Wu's eyes were spinning with the rice soup, filled with need and struggle.
"Okay!" Gu Zheng smiled, picked up the bowl, and made a show of drinking it all.
"Shut up!" Senior Brother Wu exclaimed.
Gu Zheng put the bowl down, Senior Brother Wu gritted his teeth, and then looked at Gu Feng with interest.
"The more urgent the better? Do you still have this kind of rice in your hand?"
Although he is seduced by the delicious food, Senior Brother Wu still has analytical skills.
"Yes, if the information given is important enough, I will give you a bowl of rice porridge every time." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Deal! Let me drink the rice porridge first, let me feel its taste and whether it is worthy of the fragrance."
Senior Brother Wu agreed very happily and seemed to be willing to go all out.
"No, you have to tell me the information first." Gu Zheng couldn't see the rabbit, so he shook the rice porridge in his hand again.
"Stop shaking it, it will get cold if you shake it any more!"
"We are all cultivators. It is not difficult to maintain this temperature with our internal strength. Don't worry!"
"Okay, you're cruel!" Senior Brother Wu gritted his teeth: "After I say it, whether you believe it or not, you have to give me the rice porridge."
"Okay." Gu Zheng agreed readily, since it was just a bit of leftover soup anyway.
After walking around the tent to make sure there was no one nearby, Senior Brother Wu whispered: "I advise you not to get close to the Millennium Snow Lotus, otherwise you will die without knowing how you died!"
Gu Zheng's heart moved: "Why do you say that?"
"Is this information useful? If it is, let me drink rice soup first!"
Senior Brother Wu smiled slyly, and Gu Zheng handed over the rice soup without saying anything more.
Instead of finishing the rice soup in one gulp, Senior Brother Wu took a cautious sip.
"good!"
Senior Brother Wu raised his eyebrows, and then poured all the rice soup into his mouth, as if drinking red wine. He did not swallow it immediately, but closed his eyes and tasted it with an intoxicated look on his face.
“So delicious!”
After finally drinking a mouthful of rice soup, Senior Brother Wu shed tears from the corners of his eyes.
"This is not porridge, this is the most delicious thing in the world. I feel the fragrance that I have never had before. I feel the purity that is not found in this world. I feel my unprecedented desire for something. I am afraid that I will drink it in the future.
What should I do if I don’t arrive?”
Senior Brother Wu, a grown man in his thirties, looked at Gu Zheng with tears streaming down his face.
