Priest Qingyan was running for his life. He knew that his tribe that Gu Zheng must have passed through was chasing him, but he was not worried at all because he knew that by the time Gu Zheng caught up with him, he would have already reached his destination.
The intention revealed by the weapon spirit to Qingyan Priest a few days ago was to let him take the Qingyan Sacred Relic to a place when he was unable to protect the Qingyan Sacred Relic. That would be the death place of the ancient struggle, and the place where Qingyan Priest is heading now
, which is also the death place of the so-called ancient struggle.
The so-called death place of the ancient struggle was on the top of a big mountain. Priest Qingyan was always trembling with fear as he flew towards the top of the mountain. He could feel that there was an extremely powerful monster on the top of the mountain. If it were not for the guidance of the weapon spirit, this would have been impossible.
He would never come to the place where he was farming.
Priest Qingyan saw the monster that exuded a terrifying aura. It was a gray mist, twisting and changing shape, and the terrifying aura lingered around it.
"The weapon spirit asked me to come to you."
Priest Qingyan showed his intention to the mist demon tremblingly. He had experienced many horrible things in his life, and he was even very close to death several times, but there was no one thing or one moment that made him like this.
Fear, it seems that the mist demon is born with a trait that can cause fear.
"I know, now that you are here, your mission is completed."
Two streams of smoke like tentacles separated from the twisting body of the mist demon, twisting and floating towards Qingyan Priest.
An extremely ominous feeling appeared in the heart of Qingyan Priest. He wanted to avoid the two tentacle-like smoke, but his body could not move at all. He could only watch one of the two smoke entangled.
The other part of his body was like a standing snake, aimed at his head.
"What are you going to do?"
Priest Qingyan was terrified. He wanted to struggle, but his body refused to obey him at all.
"What for? Of course I have to send you on your way! Your mission has been completed. If I don't send you on your way, what are you still doing?"
The mist demon sneered, and its voice that made it difficult to distinguish between male and female seemed particularly weird at this time.
"You promised me that you would let me leave this world!"
The Qingyan priest roared at the top of his lungs. This time he was not showing his intentions to the mist demon, he was roaring at the sky.
However, the weapon spirit did not give any response to the roar of Qingyan Priest. The smoke that stared at Qingyan Priest like a snake finally bit the Qingyan Priest's forehead like a snake.
Emitting an indistinguishable sound from his mouth, the Qingyan Priest's body continued to shrink under the mist demon's extraction of his life energy, and eventually turned into a pile of stone powder, which was blown away by the mountain wind without a trace. As for his
The green rock sacred object hidden inside the body, which looked like a stone lamp, fell to the ground and was taken away by the fog demon.
"You're not special enough, but you have the courage to seek skin from a tiger. You deserve to die unjustly!" The fog demon's voice was full of ridicule.
Gu Zheng, Xuan Yue and the Qingyan tribe chased the Qingyan priest for a day before arriving at the foot of the mountain where the Qingyan priest died. In fact, the straight-line distance between this mountain and the Qingyan tribe is not too far.
, but because Qingyan Priest was dead, the Qingyan people’s induction of him was interrupted, and Gu Zheng and the others inevitably took the wrong path, and only now have they arrived at the foot of this mountain.
The mountain in front of him was very high. The Qingyan man looking at the high mountain conveyed his intention to Gu Zheng. He told Gu Zheng that he felt that there was a very dangerous monster on this mountain. This feeling was exactly the same as that of the Qingyan priest.
Gu Zheng and Xuan Yue did not feel the danger that the Qingyan Rock Man said, but since the Qingyan Rock Man said so, Gu Zheng also paid attention to his feeling. After all, every species has its own uniqueness, be careful
One thing is always true.
Instead of rushing up the mountain, Gu Zheng asked Xuan Yue and Qingyanyan to wait at the foot of the mountain. He first used his spiritual thoughts to go to the top of the mountain to check.
Gu Zheng's spiritual thoughts came all the way to the mountain unimpeded, and he also saw the mist demon waiting on the top of the mountain.
"Qingyan Holy Object!"
Gu Zheng's heart moved. A bluestone holy object like a stone lamp was floating next to the fog demon.
"Yes, this is the Qingyan Holy Object."
The mist demon's voice sounded in Gu Zheng's mind, which made Gu Zheng feel a chill in his heart. He had just recited it in his heart before, but the mist demon seemed to have seen his heart.
"Who are you?"
I feel that the mist demon is rather strange, and Gu Zheng’s questions are also very polite.
"Me? You can call me the mist demon. I'm just one of the many prisoners in this space world. It was unlikely that we would have any communication, but the intervention of the weapon spirit brought you to me."
The voice of the mist demon sounds very erratic, giving people a special feeling as if it is coming from the horizon or whispering in the ear.
"Weapon spirit?" Gu Zheng muttered.
"Yes, that's it! It first used the priests of the Qingyan tribe, and then asked me to kill the Qingyan priests and you here." The fog demon said.
"So you're going to kill me?"
Gu Zheng frowned. Even though he asked this question, he still felt that the mist demon gave him a different feeling.
"You are an entrant, and your identity is special enough. Although the weapon spirit can give me some orders, it cannot completely interfere with me, or interfere with the rules of this world. In my heart, I don't want to kill you, but I must also follow the rules.
The request of the weapon spirit is to activate my magical power on you! No matter what the weapon spirit says, but for me, if you can survive under my magical power, I will give you the Qingyan sacred object so that you can leave this world.
The key, but if you die under my magical power, then you can only blame yourself for your bad luck." The Lich said lightly.
"Listening to what you said, it seems that I want to thank you?"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly, as if he didn't hear any danger at all from the mist demon's words.
"That's true. After all, I can also choose to listen to the weapon spirit and kill all the people who came with you. However, I will not be stupid enough to be manipulated by others like Qingyan Priest! But, this is also
It's a deal. If you can pass my test, I want you to take me out of this world." The mist demon said slowly.
"Okay, I promise you!"
Gu Zheng did not hesitate. Although he did not feel the dangerous aura emanating from the fog demon before going up the mountain, after seeing the fog demon, he could still feel that this guy was not something he could deal with now.
Yes! Spiritual bodies are inherently weird, with many troublesome attack methods, and the strength of the Mist Demon should be at least close to that of the Golden Immortal. If the Mist Demon is really angered, then the Mist Demon will definitely be easily obliterated.
His strength.
"Very good, then come and meet my test!"
The mist demon laughed, and the laughter was a little contemptuous. In fact, because it was special, it didn't really want to leave this world. For it, would Gu Zheng die under its magical power?
This actually doesn't matter much. However, the mist demon is very confident in its magical powers, which is why it laughs contemptuously, but its laughter soon disappeared without a trace because of Gu Zheng's words.
"Actually, your so-called magical powers were already activated when I saw you, right? You should be a spirit that is very good at illusions, but magical powers like illusions are almost useless to me!"
Gu Zheng has experienced countless illusions of various levels in his life. Although he is not good at illusions, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an expert in deciphering illusions. Moreover, Gu Zheng has a strong ability to see through illusions.
After getting the 'Inner Demon Bead', his ability to see through illusions has once again improved to a new level! The highest level of illusion is that illusions arise from the heart, and the inner demon world in the 'Inner Demon Bead' is originally a world created by illusions.
An illusion born from the heart.
The mist demon's illusion is considered very powerful, but he can hear what Gu Zheng is thinking, which is unreasonable for Gu Zheng. To see through an illusion, for a master like Gu Zheng, it's a confusing thing.
A chance in the heart may make an originally perfect illusion fall apart! As for an illusion, no matter what the purpose of the illusion, there are almost some events that make people feel awe. This is the ancient struggle in illusion.
The horror on.
It was precisely because Gu Zheng knew that the magic power Wu Yao was good at was illusion, so Gu Zheng smiled before. He really didn't feel any danger from Wu Yao's words at that time.
Gu Zheng's words not only made the fog demon's smile disappear, but also caused the fog demon, which had been constantly changing its shape, to stay in a fixed human-like form. This change clearly showed his shock.
"you,"
As if he had thought of something, Wu Yao did not finish what he said, but in his human form, he stared at Gu Zheng and looked up and down, as if he had just seen Gu Zheng.
"I unexpectedly met an entrant like you. It seems that leaving this world with you is the right choice!"
The fog demon paused for a moment, and then said: "In that case, how about we make another deal?"
"What deal?"
Gu Zheng frowned. He didn't expect the reaction of the mist demon.
"I am going to give you an opportunity, and I also feel that this opportunity is destined to be given to you by fate! But don't ask me what this opportunity is, I think you understand the reason. And the transaction I am talking about is
, when you get this opportunity, you have to promise me something!"
Although the mist demon did not explain what he said, Gu Zheng understood clearly that as the saying goes, "Secrets cannot be revealed", there are some things that cannot be said in advance.
"I want to know first what kind of thing you want me to promise you!" Gu Zheng said cautiously.
"We can't say that either! But don't worry, it won't threaten your safety or interests. This will only be good for you, not bad."
Hearing what the mist demon said, Gu Zheng frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, I can't promise you such a thing. As the saying goes, 'empty words are empty words.'"
Seeing that Gu Zheng refused to agree, Wu Yao said anxiously: "What about my oath?"
"Does swearing work for a special being like you?" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Then let's do this! After you take me back to the primitive world, with your strength, you should be able to plant a life and death ban on me. How about I let you plant a life and death ban on me in exchange for the thing that I can't say now?
"
Seeing that Gu Zheng was still thinking about it, Wu Yao reiterated: "Don't worry! What I said will only be good for you and not bad."
"Okay, I promise you!" Lan
Gu Zheng finally agreed to the mist demon, but he was curious: "At first, you should have thought that it was impossible for me to pass your test. How come you now seem to think that I will definitely be able to pass your test? Is it just that?
Is it because I saw through your initial illusion and my self-confidence?"
"Of course not!"
The mist demon smiled: "It's too early to say this now. When you pass the test, you will naturally know."
The fog demon didn't intend to say anything more to Gu Zheng. It stretched out its hand and the original scenery was suddenly blocked by a fog. It seemed that something new was brewing in the fog.
At the same time, Gu Zhengshan's body suddenly fell backwards. Xuan Yue helped him and slowly placed him on the ground.
Before Gu Zheng was about to accept the test of the fog demon, he had already told Xuan Yue and the Qingyan Man through a little spiritual thought still in his body that no matter what happened next, they should not disturb him, let alone go to the mountain.
If it hadn't been for his advance explanation, Xuan Yue and Qingyan Man would have been really shocked at this moment.
Xuan Yue is worried about Gu Zheng, and so is Qingyan Man. His current fate can be said to be tied to Gu Zheng, and he has no reason not to worry. However, no matter how worried Xuan Yue and Qingyan Man are about Gu Zheng, they
There is nothing that can be done now. The only thing that can be done is to wait quietly for Gu Zheng to wake up.
The magical powers used by the fog demon were still illusions, and various illusions had appeared before Gu Zheng's eyes. Such illusions were of no use to Gu Zheng. However, Gu Zheng was not in a hurry to see through the illusion. He still remembered what the fog demon said.
If you say that you want to give him an opportunity, then the so-called opportunity must be in this illusion.
As if standing in a busy city, Gu Zheng quietly looked at the crowds of people around him, and a voice suddenly sounded in his heart.
"Did you believe that mist demon? Do you really think it will give you a chance? Don't you doubt its intentions? Maybe it knows that illusions don't work on you, so it said this to hold you back.
Don't rush out of the illusion and sink into it!"
The voice in Gu Zheng's heart is his own voice. This is also a normal reaction of people after encountering problems. It represents people's thinking and the yin side of people's hearts.
"hehe."
Gu Zheng just smiled and calmed down slightly, and his original voice of doubt disappeared.
It is a good thing that you will question some things, but questioning must be timed. Some illusions will not be broken without questioning, but some illusions will be deeply trapped in them because of doubts. From the perspective of Guzheng, this illusion does not need to be questioned.
, even if the mist demon really wanted to use those words before to drag him out, he couldn't be immersed in it, and questioning would hinder him from discovering opportunities that might really arise.
At the same time, the fog demon on the top of the mountain looked at Gu Zheng's spiritual light spot in the air and murmured to himself: "Qi Ling, you are really unlucky, why did you choose me to deal with this special entrant?
You are simply shooting yourself in the foot!"
Time passed little by little. Gu Zheng did not discover what the so-called opportunity was, but he was not anxious because he was in a very awake state. He could end this illusion and leave at any time. However, he still wanted to wait.
In the time of one stick of incense, if he has not discovered anything that represents opportunity, then he will tell himself that he has not seized the so-called opportunity, or the mist demon really just wants to pass
Those words before were used to hold him back.
In fact, Gu Zheng would choose to wait for another stick of incense. Naturally, his heart is more inclined to believe in the evil mist demon, because the mist demon is an expert in illusions. Gu Zheng easily saw through its first illusion.
After that, it should not use low-level means such as deception to deal with Gu Zheng, a powerful person who can crack the illusion. Doing so is an insult to Gu Zheng, and it is also an insult to itself.
Gu Zheng didn't have time to wait for a stick of incense before something unusual happened.
The so-called unusual is a feeling. Gu Zheng began to feel that this illusion was very familiar, and this familiar feeling was very strange, as if he had experienced the exact same illusion countless times.
Gu Zheng has experienced countless illusions, but he has never encountered such a situation. He even murmured subconsciously: "The first person who is about to turn the corner looks to be in his forties. He is wearing straw sandals.
Woodcutter dress up!”
Gu Zheng did not use any magical powers, but the man who came around the corner was indeed a middle-aged woodcutter wearing straw sandals and carrying a bundle of firewood on his shoulders! Lan
Gu Zheng understood that he was able to correctly guess the appearance of the first person, and it was not an illusion. This was completely a foresight, or it could be said that he had actually seen it before.
"The second person who turned the corner was a coolie, carrying a sack on his shoulder, containing millet!"
Gu Zheng murmured again, and the second man also turned out from the corner. He was indeed a coolie with a sack on his shoulders and relatively tattered clothes. However, before he turned the corner and took two steps, he was caught by a man who ran past.
He was hit and when the sack he was carrying fell to the ground, the rope fell off naturally and the millet inside flowed to the floor.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng no longer tried to verify whether his next guess was accurate, because he knew that his next guess would definitely be accurate! He closed his eyes and fell into a strange state.
He wanted to understand what this kind of foresight was, and he felt that if he could understand the so-called foresight, he would be able to obtain the so-called opportunity.
Scenes of scenes flew through Gu Zheng's mind. They were the illusions that Gu Zheng had experienced in his life. He wanted to find the answer from these scenes.
Time passed little by little, when Gu Zheng entered a special state and after a cup of tea, while he was thinking about the illusory Gu Zheng he had experienced, there was a sudden roar in his mind.
Gu Zheng had an enlightenment. This enlightenment was not because he thought of something key, but a very natural accumulation in the process of his recall. After this accumulation reached a certain level, those illusions that he recalled
The picture was naturally reorganized in his mind, and he saw a familiar space, in which exactly the same things as in the fantasy world were happening now.
"Heart Demon Pearl!"
Gu Zheng felt a shiver in his heart. The so-called familiar scene was exactly the inner demon world in the inner demon bead.
When Gu Zheng thought of the Heart Demon Bead, the illusion ended naturally, and he also had a very wonderful feeling. This feeling came from the real world. He could feel the vibration of the Heart Demon Bead that stayed in the real world.
.
Gu Zheng's heart was very uneasy. He entered the space world of two immortal-level space artifacts. This was the first time that he was able to sense things in the real world in such a space world.
The unrest gradually turned into shock in his heart, and Gu Zheng understood what this opportunity was.
The so-called opportunity this time did not allow Gu Zheng to realize something. It allowed Gu Zheng to establish a strange connection with the world of space. For the time being, Gu Zheng did not know what this strange connection represented.
What exactly is it, but he vaguely feels that this incident will be extremely helpful for him to obtain an immortal-level space artifact.
