"This woman is a cultivator, and her cultivation has reached the late fifth level."
Qi Ling's words were the reason why Gu Zheng frowned. Although he did not have the ability to see through other people's cultivation, the aura of cultivators was different from that of ordinary people, not to mention that he was still a late fifth-level cultivator. If he were not a Qi Ling
To be honest, he really didn't see it.
"A cultivator at the late fifth level, I don't know how old she is, but she still behaves like a little girl so naturally. Just thinking about it makes my skin crawl!" Gu Zheng said to himself.
"Actually, this is normal. Real cultivators, especially those in the prehistoric times, still look like girls when they reach the Golden Immortal Realm. But they are not a minority at all. They also look like this when talking to some people.
, this is the expression of true nature. Of course, the people who can make those female cultivators reveal their true nature are usually people they are close to or interested in. If this woman shows this attitude to you, she must be getting close to you. You are her.
Anyone interested!" Qi Ling said with a wicked smile.
"But I can pull you down. You are a cultivator and your identity has not been exposed at all. Besides, I am not familiar with her. She acted like this when we talked. I think she is either an adulterer or a thief!"
The Meow Meow incident happened today, which made Gu Zheng feel that the spirit of the weapon always sounded like a gun and a stick when talking.
"Why didn't Master Gu stop talking? My words weren't too hard for people to accept, were they?" the young woman said sadly.
"No, it's just that the girl looked like a friend of mine, so she was a little distracted." Gu Zheng laughed.
"Really? Like Sect Master Gu's friends, what kind of friends are they?" The young woman smiled, with a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes.
"Like a late friend of mine."
Gu Zheng looked embarrassed, and the smile on the young woman's face froze. Zhao Wen laughed at this moment: "I was just talking and haven't introduced you to Master Gu yet. She is my granddaughter, her name is
Zhao Ya has always envied the world of cultivators, and this time she insists on following me to Emei."
"It turns out to be Miss Zhao Ya Zhao."
Gu Zheng just smiled at Zhao Ya and turned to Zhao Wen: "Head of the Zhao family, there are cultivators behind your Zhao family. Why is Miss Zhao still so interested in me, Emei?"
"Emei is a famous mountain, and there are many touching legends on it. Besides, your delicious food last time made my very naughty grandfather full of praise. I am also very interested in you as a young leader."
Zhao Ya persevered, and her eyes started to get a little hot when she looked at Gu Zheng.
"Head of the Zhao family, are you here just for a visit, or do you have something else? If you have anything else, just say it. You also know that I was talking to the disciples, and the conversation has not been finished yet.
, they are all still waiting for me in the main hall!"
Gu Zheng was in no mood and continued chatting with the two people in front of him.
"Firstly, it's a visit, and secondly, I want to taste the delicious food made by Master Gu again. But now it seems that it is not easy to taste this delicious meal from Master Gu!"
Zhao Wen paused with a regretful voice, and then said: "If something happens to the ancient leader, you can just go about your business. Now that the weather is over, there are many things that have not changed when we go down the mountain. Our grandfather and grandson will go there tonight."
If you want to stay in Emei for one night, Master Gu will not agree to it, right?"
"Of course not. It's getting late indeed. I'm really sorry that I couldn't prepare you any delicious food. How could I refuse to even stay overnight!" Gu Zheng laughed.
"Master Gu, I originally wanted to ask you to be my guide, but it seems that you don't have much time. Please find me a guide. It's not easy for me to come to Emei, but you won't let us, my grandfather and my grandson, just stay in the room."
Stay until dawn?" Zhao Ya said aggrievedly.
"Okay, it's not a problem at all. I'll arrange a guide for you right away to show you the scenery of Emei." Gu Zheng said after a pause: "However, I really don't have time to accompany you. There are still a lot of things to do with the disciples.
Wait for me to handle it. You guys wait here for a while, the guide will be here soon."
"Okay, Master Gu, if you have something to do, go ahead and do your work!"
The grandfather and grandson of the Zhao family send each other off happily.
Walking out of the banquet hall, the smile on Gu Zheng's face turned into a sneer. It was obvious that the grandfather and grandson had something going on. Since they didn't say anything and wanted to stay in Emei, let's see what tricks they could pull off.
The guide Gu Zheng found for the Zhao family was Du Wei, and with this master in the middle stage of divine transformation following him, Gu Zheng was not afraid of them causing any trouble.
Du Wei took the Zhao family's grandfather and grandson to visit Emei from the afternoon until dinner time. During this period, the Zhao family's grandfather and grandson really enjoyed themselves as if they were looking at the scenery.
The father and grandson of the Zhao family had dinner together with the Emei disciples. As for Gu Zheng, they stayed in the Chaos Tower and processed some ingredients to prepare for the subsequent Danyuan Food Cultivation.
After dinner, the Zhao family's grandfather and grandson returned to the guest room assigned to them by Du Wei.
Late at night, Zhao Ya walked out of her residence and went to the room where Zhao Wen was.
Zhao Wen, who was about to lie down, looked quite surprised when he saw Zhao Ya coming.
"My dear granddaughter, why aren't you going to bed so late? What's the matter with grandpa?" Zhao Wen said dotingly.
"Old man, come on! Are you addicted to taking advantage?" Zhao Ya glared at Zhao Wen fiercely.
"Miss Ya, this, this," Zhao Wen looked very shocked.
"Don't do this or that. No one is watching here, and no one will hear what we say."
Zhao Ya sat on the chair carelessly and motioned for Zhao Wen to sit down.
"Emei is so undefended? There is no one to monitor it? Could it be that they weren't the ones who stole our Wuchen ancient wooden coffin? But who could it be if they weren't them? After all, when the Wuchen ancient wooden coffin was lost, it was when they needed it most.
It’s time to sink the ancient trees!” Zhao Wen murmured.
"The Emei Sect is not defenseless. The person who serves as our guide is an immortal cultivator!" Zhao Ya said coldly.
"No, it can't be right? There are actually immortal cultivators in Emei?" Zhao Wen's eyes widened.
"Although he hid it very well and I couldn't sense his specific cultivation level, there is no doubt that he is an immortal cultivator. The ancient black wood coffin is a small matter. Although I don't know if it was stolen by the Emei Sect, they have a lot of possessions.
Suspicion! And there must be a big secret hidden in the Emei Sect, otherwise we wouldn't have let an immortal cultivator accompany us." Zhao Ya frowned.
"Miss Ya, when we come here this time, will your real purpose change because of the appearance of this immortal cultivator?"
"No, that thing is too important. They disappeared while performing a mission in Sichuan Province. The place of disappearance was very close to the Emei Sect. Now that I know that there are immortal cultivators in the Emei Sect, this makes me even more sure about that matter.
It should have something to do with them. So, I’m still going to explore Emei at night to see if I can find anything!”
Zhao Ya paused, then smiled sinisterly: "However, this time I came to Emei, I really missed the mark. No matter whether I found what I was looking for or not, I found something very unexpected!"
"Oh? What is Miss Ya talking about?" Zhao Wen asked hurriedly.
"Did you see the Emei Pagoda just now? It is actually composed of two towers with completely different shapes! This is not consistent with the legendary Emei Pagoda. The legendary Emei Pagoda has a total of thirteen floors, but now
The Emei Pagoda has twenty-two floors. What does this mean? This means that the Emei Pagoda is not complete. It can be added to twenty-two stories. Isn’t it possible to add thirty-one stories? Our door
The holy pagoda in it has nine floors. The leader once said that the holy pagoda is incomplete and there are other towers. But I didn’t expect that the famous Emei Pagoda is also incomplete!" Zhao Ya sneered.
"Ya, Miss Ya, are you saying that Emei Pagoda and our Holy Pagoda are one? Darling! The nine-story Holy Pagoda is already so amazing, but how powerful should the thirty-one-story Holy Pagoda be?" Zhao Wen
gasped.
"Who are you calling good boy?" Zhao Ya looked sideways.
"I'm just sighing. You are the master of the holy tower in the sect. How dare I call you Guaiguai when you are not acting?" Zhao Wen quickly explained.
"As long as you haven't forgotten my identity, if I take action tonight, I will need your cooperation."
"How does Miss Ya want me to cooperate? When the time is right, you have to attract the attention of the disciples guarding the Emei Pagoda and give me a chance to get close to the Emei Pagoda."
"Ah? I'm just an ordinary person. Miss Zhao wants me to do this..." Zhao Wen said fearfully.
"Where does all this nonsense come from? If it's not the right time, I won't take action. As long as I don't take action, even if you create opportunities for me, it will only make Emei suspicious at most, but it won't lead to death." Zhao Ya rolled her eyes.
road.
"Miss Ya, our main task this time is just to inquire. I think it is better to report this matter to the sect. After all, the current Emei is different from the Emei we know. There are immortal cultivators here. If we are not careful, both of us will be killed.
I want to sleep here forever!" Zhao Wen said cautiously.
"A cultivator? With my ability, it is not impossible to escape from a cultivator! Don't worry, as long as I can escape, I can take you to escape together, and I won't leave you here alone. What's more,
, this incident is an opportunity to make great achievements. If this spreads to the sect, I won’t say anything. Do you think you have a chance to make great achievements? Don’t forget, you don’t have much life left, Feimen
The elixir you won cannot save you! Besides, don’t you miss the various enjoyments in the world of mortals? If you still want to have them, just listen to me, we will gain wealth and wealth at risk!"
Listening to Zhao Ya's bewitchment, Zhao Wen gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's fight!"
The secret conversation between Zhao Wen and Zhao Ya, and Gu Zheng in the Chaos Tower knew everything about it.
"Zhao Ya can actually tell that Du Wei is an immortal cultivator. This is quite unexpected. It seems that she is still a very capable person." Gu Zheng said.
"She has some skills, but that's all. At least she can't feel my spiritual thoughts eavesdropping."
Ouyang Hai sneered, and then said: "Listening to their secret talks, the strength behind the Zhao family turns out to be the Holy Blood Sect!"
Ouyang Haihui said this because under the guidance of the weapon spirit, Taoist priest Xianyun once said that the real purpose of the people from the Holy Blood Sect coming to Sichuan Province was to have other tasks to perform. And from what Zhao Ya just said
Judging from the above, she is indeed very likely to be from the Holy Blood Sect.
"As for the doubts about them, when you catch them, you will make an 'introduction' to them. However, what is even more unexpected is that from their conversation, they actually learned something else about the Chaos Tower.
The whereabouts of the nine-story tower is really a surprise! Although this matter is Zhao Ya's speculation, it should not be wrong." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
Ouyang Hai nodded, and then said: "Listen to the leader, don't you plan to let me catch them now?"
"No, troubled times are coming, and each of us should remain vigilant enough. When troubled times really come, Emei may not be a pure land. For Emei disciples, they are now like being in a greenhouse. It just so happens that
This is the first time something like this has happened, so it would be good to test their ability to cope with it. The disciples on duty in the Chaos Tower tonight include Elder Wuyou, who is also at the late fifth level, and two elite disciples.
If they really can't handle the situation then, it won't be too late for you to take action!" Gu Zheng said.
Ouyang Hai smiled: "The leader is still thoughtful."
After finishing the conversation with Ouyang Hai, Gu Zheng called Jiaojiao out again and told him the information he heard from Zhao Ya.
When Gu Zheng said there was news about other towers, Jiaojiao looked very happy.
"Jiaojiao, what Zhao Ya said is not very clear. She wants to use the Chaos Tower to make meritorious deeds. What do you think she is going to do? Approaching the Chaos Tower, do you want to put some restrictions on the Chaos Tower, or do you want to claim the Chaos Tower as its master?
Take it away?" Gu Zheng asked.
"The master said that Zhao Ya is the controller of the Holy Tower. In this way, she has claimed the owner of the other nine-story tower. This situation is the same as the original Blood Soul. There are restrictions on each floor of the Chaos Tower, so the ones scattered everywhere
Chaos towers may also have their owners. If the Chaos Tower in Emei does not have an owner yet, she should be able to quickly identify the owner of the Chaos Tower here through the connection with the other nine-story towers, even if the Chaos Tower here has already
With the master, she can also use other means to let the Chaos Tower terminate its relationship with the original master and snatch it away," Jiaojiao said.
"Oh? According to you, there is still a little danger tonight?" Gu Zheng said.
Jiaojiao smiled mischievously: "Master, what I said is just what she guessed, but the real situation is that the Chaos Tower of the Emei Sect not only has the owner, but also the existence of my weapon spirit, so her wishful thinking will only come to nothing.
.”
"The repairs to the Chaos Tower have been going smoothly recently, and you are in a good mood. You even joke with me."
Gu Zheng smiled, chatted with Jiaojiao for a few more words, and then continued to process the ingredients.
The sky is filled with stars and the bright moon is in the sky.
It was now midnight, and the entire Emei Sect seemed particularly quiet. Except for the Chaos Tower, which was still brightly lit, the rest of the place was mostly dark.
Zhao Ya left her residence like a ghost. Dressed in black, her figure was strong and agile, blending into the night like a civet cat.
Originally, Zhao Ya planned to search for Emei's secret land to see if there was anything she wanted to find, but after much thought, she gave up her original plan and went straight to Emei Pagoda.
As long as you can get the Emei Pagoda, you have made a great contribution. As for the original mission, it becomes unimportant because of this.
Already very close to the Emei Pagoda, Zhao Ya still did not alert the disciples of the Emei Sect. In fact, the rotating disciples of the Emei Pagoda are all on the first floor of the tower, and the so-called rotating duty is only responsible for taking care of those who enter the Emei Pagoda.
Disciples of our own sect, or disciples of other sects.
"Zhizhi."
The cry of the bat came from Zhao Ya's mouth, and Zhao Wen, who was almost following Zhao Ya out, immediately ran towards Emei Pagoda in a panic.
Elder Wuchou was meditating on the first floor of Emei Pagoda, with his face facing the direction of the tower door. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Wen running towards this side in a panic, and immediately ordered Gu An beside him to go over and take a look.
"What's wrong?" Gu An asked as he walked out of the tower door.
"Little master, my granddaughter is missing!" Zhao Wen said anxiously.
"Your granddaughter is missing. You should ask the disciple in charge of the guest room why she came here. This is the center of Emei. You should leave quickly!" Gu An frowned.
"Stop lying, if this is the important land of Emei, how come there is no one guarding it?" Zhao Wen questioned.
"Didn't you see that everyone is in the tower?" Gu An said angrily.
"Okay, young master, let's not talk behind the scenes. I originally thought Emei was a well-known and decent man, but he did such a thing, which really surprised me!" Zhao Wen said bitterly.
"What's going on? My granddaughter was kidnapped by someone. The man was wearing the clothes of an Emei disciple. He took my granddaughter and ran to the Emei Pagoda!"
"No way, this kind of thing will never happen in Emei!"
Seeing Zhao Wen's firm gaze, Gu An paused and said: "Besides, we have always been facing the tower gate, and no one else has come here at all!"
"If you say no, then there is none. The person who kidnapped my granddaughter is a disciple of yours in Emei. Do you dare to let me go into the tower to search? I think my granddaughter is in the tower now!"
Zhao Wen said that he was going to rush into the tower, but Gu An naturally couldn't let him in.
"This is Emei Pagoda, not a place you can enter! You said your granddaughter was kidnapped, okay, I will take you to see the deacon responsible for handling the problem now, and leave this matter to him to investigate. Stop making trouble.
, otherwise I won’t be polite!”
The other person was not a cultivator, and he was still an old man. Gu An also spoke patiently.
Faced with Gu An's impatience, Zhao Wen was not afraid at all: "Looking for someone to investigate further? The day lilies are already cold! Anyway, I don't care. My granddaughter should be inside the Emei Pagoda. I only went in to take a look. If you
There is nothing wrong with me, why don't you let me in? I tell you, if you don't let me in again, I will go to your ancient leader to reason! We are here in Emei as guests. If something like this happens, you must give me an explanation.
!”
The more Zhao Wen talked, the more excited he became. Elder Wuchou, who was in the tower and shook his head, stood up and walked out of the tower. Among the people who followed him out was Liu Ying.
"It's impossible for what you said to happen. You may not believe what the male disciples say, but you should believe what the female disciples say, right? I've been inside all the time, how could something like what you think happen happen!" Liu Ying said.
