"It's actually not too unexpected that there would be such a weird situation. After all, the blood tide itself is weird enough. I knew before that there must be an immortal formation below. However, after Shangguan Feng said this, I
I am becoming more and more interested in the Blood Tide Restricted Area, let’s go and take a look now!” Qi Ling said.
"good!"
Gu Zheng agreed to Qi Ling, and then smiled at Shangguan Feng: "Master Mu guessed it right. I am indeed very interested in the Blood Tide restricted area. Master Mu is so relaxed, which also makes me want to explore
The idea of a Blood Tide Zone!”
Gu Zheng paused for a moment, then asked again: "However, it is a restricted area after all, and Tianluo Sect has many branches. Won't I bring any trouble to Head Mu in the past?"
"Won't."
Shangguan Feng smiled slightly: "In the past, the area near the Blood Tide was considered a real 'forbidden zone'. Except for branches of the Tianluo Sect, we did not allow outsiders to approach. In other words, we were competing for the quota of the 'Tianluo Cave' and could invite foreign aid.
When the rules came out, the hearts of other branches of the Tianluo Sect also came alive. They felt that in the matter of the forbidden area, could they also use external forces to unlock the secrets of the forbidden area earlier? So from that time on, every time they worshiped their ancestors, they
During this period, each branch of Tianluo Sect has two quotas for taking outsiders to explore the restricted area! And for each outsider who comes to explore the restricted area, what they see in the restricted area is regarded as shared information among several branches. As for other details
The questions will be formulated by each branch!"
"Fellow Taoist Shangguan, after so many years, how many outsiders have explored the restricted area?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"There are only eight." Shangguan Feng said.
"Eight?"
Gu Zheng frowned, the number of people was much smaller than he imagined.
"That's right, only eight!"
Shangguan Feng's voice paused, and then he continued: "Not everyone, after hearing the details about the blood tide, has the courage to find out. What's more, exploring the restricted area is so dangerous, even if the branch of Tianluo Sect wants to
He knew the secret of the Blood Tide restricted area, but he wouldn’t let him pass by just one person! Although only eight outsiders had explored the restricted area, which sounds like a small number, but five of the eight people were elders of the sect.
, as for the other three, they are all immortal cultivators!"
"Oh? Three immortal cultivators?" Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"That's right! Among the three immortal cultivators, one is a casual cultivator, and the other two are demon cultivators."
Hearing that Shangguan Feng said that there were demon cultivators who had also explored the Blood Tide restricted area, Gu Zheng didn't think anything of it. After all, many branches of Tianluo Sect all belonged to overseas sects, and they were not as resistant to demon cultivators as the mainland sects were.
"What realm are these three immortal cultivators? What did they find after their investigation?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"The realm of casual cultivators is the early stage of spiritual transformation. The realm of the two demon cultivators is that the lower one is in the middle stage of qi transformation, and the higher one is in the early stage of returning to the void! However, their answers are very unified. After the spiritual thoughts penetrate into the sea two hundred meters deep,
, we can no longer make any further progress, and there will be no further discoveries!"
Shangguan Feng paused, then smiled and said: "I'm very curious. After listening to me saying so much, Master Gu, should he go or not?"
"Since it won't cause any trouble to Head Mu, then everything will go as Head Mu said. Today I will just go there and take a look. As for when to explore the Blood Tide restricted area, I will wait until I get the quota for the 'Tianluo Cave' and I will leave.
It’s time to go to Blood Tide Island!” Gu Zheng said with a smile.
Seeing that Gu Zheng really wanted to explore the restricted area, the smile on Shangguan Feng's face turned into a bitter smile.
"After asking so many questions, Master Gu must want to go. I have already guessed this! But even so, I still want to hear Master Gu's answer. From the bottom of my heart, I hope that my guess is wrong, and I don't want Gu to
The leader is too curious about this matter, after all, sometimes curiosity can really kill people!"
Shangguan Feng paused and then told Gu Zheng some past events.
The past events mentioned by Shangguan Feng mainly talked about the fate of those who explored the Blood Tide restricted area. What surprised Gu Zheng the most was that Shangguanfeng also explored the Blood Tide restricted area!
Twenty years ago, Shangguan Feng was thirty years old and in the middle of the fifth level of cultivation. At this age and with such cultivation, looking at the entire cultivation world, he could be regarded as a genius.
At that time, Shangguan Feng, who was arrogant and had a promising future, was also very curious about the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone, so on a day when the blood tide did not appear, Shangguan Feng dived into the sea to explore the secrets of the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone.
According to Shangguan Feng, he didn't see anything in the sea at that time. He only dived fifty meters at most and then lost consciousness inexplicably!
Shangguanfeng woke up on the beach. He didn't feel any discomfort after waking up. But as time went by, Shangguanfeng was horrified to find that his sexual orientation had changed unknowingly, and even his voice had changed.
And her posture is uncontrollably like a woman's.
What makes Shangguan Feng even more crazy is that his cultivation is as if he has been cursed and can no longer be improved! Whenever the inner energy in the body is on the verge of breaking through, the surging inner energy will disappear inexplicably.
Without a trace, his cultivation will return to what it was like when he visited the Blood Tide restricted area.
Twenty years have passed. During this period, Shangguan Feng used all available methods, but his situation has not improved in any way, and no one can explain clearly what happened to his situation.
thing.
After listening to Shangguanfeng's story, Gu Zheng was actually very curious and wanted to explore Shangguanfeng's body, but he still didn't say this request. After all, Shangguanfeng had tried various methods in the past twenty years, but
I still don’t know what’s going on. Regular inspections on him should have found nothing! Unconventional inspections will definitely expose the identity of the immortal cultivator. Gu Zheng can only suppress his curiosity.
"Fellow Daoist Shangguan, what happened to the three immortal cultivators who explored the restricted area?"
When he learned that some immortal cultivators had also explored the restricted area, Gu Zheng wanted to ask this question, but at that time Shangguan Feng asked him a question and then talked a lot, so the question has been shelved until now.
"Among the three immortal cultivators, the two with lower cultivation levels had no problem. As for the immortal cultivator in the early stage of returning to the void, he died suddenly later!" Shangguan Feng said.
"A cultivator in the early stage of returning to the void actually died suddenly later?" Gu Zheng said in disbelief.
"The cultivator in the early stage of returning to the void originally explored the restricted area, but nothing happened. But a few years later, he was unwilling to give up and made another request to explore the restricted area during the blood tide! For such a request, he agreed at the beginning
The Blue Sky Snail Sect who asked him to investigate naturally tried to dissuade him in every possible way, but the other party refused to listen, so he had no choice but to let him investigate."
"Exactly what the cultivator discovered in the blood tide in the early stage of returning to the void is unknown to outsiders. They only know that when he came out of the blood tide, he already looked like he was injured and did not stay longer on the blood tide island.
Then he left directly."
"Seven days later, the cultivator in the early stage of returning to the void died suddenly in his sect! Although he had signed a life and death certificate beforehand, his sect still directed its anger at the Qingtian Luo Sect, so that today
The Blue Sky Snail Sect has fewer members than the Black Sky Snail Sect! Moreover, the anger from this sect has also affected our Red Sky Snail Sect."
"After this incident, all branches of Tianluo Sect have been very strict about the quota for exploring forbidden areas. If it weren't for the fact that the ancient leader is really extraordinary, we, the leader Mu, think you might be able to discover something.
If it's something different, he won't let me ask you if you want to explore the Blood Tide restricted area."
"As for the sudden death of a cultivator in the early stage of returning to the void, several branches of the Tianluo Sect have also made speculations. One of the guesses is that whether it is during the blood tide or during the non-blood tide, the number of visits to the forbidden areas has increased.
Do not exceed two times, otherwise it will be Daluo Jinxian, and he will probably die without rebirth! Although there is no basis for this guess, Head Mu has also explained this. If Head Gu still wants to investigate after careful consideration,
There is only one chance for this restricted area when the blood tide comes! If Master Gu still wants to investigate in the future, whether it is for his own sake or for the sake of the two sects, I hope Master Gu will not open his mouth!" Shangguan Feng was cautious!
road.
"Okay, I agree to what Master Mu said! As for whether to explore the restricted area during the blood tide, I will consider this matter carefully." Gu Zheng said.
Without staying at their residence for too long, Gu Zheng and Shangguan Feng chatted for a while before heading to the Blood Tide restricted area together.
The soft sandy beach, the blue water, and the blood tide restricted area during the day look no different from normal sea areas.
"Did you find anything?"
Standing on the beach, Gu Zheng asked the spirit of the instrument.
"You are now an immortal cultivator, and my detection range is only ten meters, which is not as good as your divine will!" Qi Ling said.
Gu Zheng smiled: "Of course I know this. What I mean is, you didn't find anything through my eyes?"
"No, I will tell you if I do."
The weapon spirit paused for a moment, then smiled evilly and said, "Wouldn't it be better if you used your spiritual power to investigate it?"
"Isn't this not good?" Gu Zheng muttered.
"What's wrong? Anyway, Shangguan Feng won't find out if you use your spiritual thoughts." Qi Ling said seductively.
Before Gu Zheng became a real immortal cultivator, he was able to detect the spiritual thoughts of some cultivators. Just like when he came out of Shu Ruins and went to Shushan Hall, he noticed Han Songzi's spiritual thoughts peeking at him.
!And such an abnormality is firstly because, although he has not yet become a true immortal cultivator, he already possesses immortal power, and secondly, because his five senses have been strengthened! If he does not have these abnormalities, the immortal cultivator's
The presence of spiritual thoughts is almost undetectable by cultivators.
"Of course I know that Shangguan Feng will not discover the exploration of Shen Nian! I just think that since I just came here today to have a look, isn't it a bit bad to start exploring now?"
Gu Zheng's voice was not firm. In fact, he had already made the move since Qi Ling first proposed it.
"There is not much difference between your exploration now and your exploration when you left Blood Tide Island! The reason why Mu Chunfeng doesn't let you explore now is because he is afraid that something will happen to you? Don't worry, I'm here. You just need to listen to me.
, I promise nothing will happen to you! Since nothing will happen, what’s the difference between exploring now and exploring then?”
In the inner view, the weapon spirit standing in the garden was circling the flower vines with his fingers, blinking his big eyes, and smiling mischievously.
"You promise that nothing will happen to me? What do you know about this restricted area?"
Gu Zheng no longer looked at Qi Ling. He found that looking at this little girl's appearance, he would easily agree to her proposal.
"It's not like I know anything, I just feel that three immortal cultivators with different cultivation levels can't make any progress when their spiritual thoughts are two hundred meters deep! So within two hundred meters, it should be a very safe place for the immortal cultivators.
The depth, they didn't find anything in this depth, doesn't mean we can't find anything either!" Qi Ling said with a smile.
"good."
Gu Zheng accepted the weapon spirit's proposal and immediately sent out a ray of spiritual thought into the sea.
Exploring with his spiritual mind, Gu Zheng experienced the temperature of the seawater changing with depth, and saw fish passing by one after another.
Everything around him was normal. Even the mud on the bottom of the sea was explored by Gu Zheng, but he still found nothing strange.
However, the so-called normality ended when Gu Zheng's spiritual exploration reached a place more than two hundred meters away from the coast. The sea water became as hard as iron due to Gu Zheng's feeling, and his spiritual consciousness could no longer move forward.
Gu Zheng was not surprised that his spiritual thoughts were blocked! Before leaving his residence, Shangguan Feng also told Gu Zheng some information about the Blood Tide restricted area. It was this information that made Gu Zheng understand that he had touched the edge of the Immortal Formation.
.
According to Shangguan Feng, the shape of the Immortal Formation after it takes effect is like a water tank! If you want to explore the Immortal Formation in depth, whether you are diving or using your spiritual mind, you must take a boat across the water, and then
Only when you reach the position of the cylinder mouth will you not be affected by the edge of the fairy formation.
"It seems we have to go into the sea!" Qi Ling said.
"Fellow Taoist Shangguan, I want to go and have a look at the sea." Gu Zheng looked at Shangguan Feng.
Gu Zheng's conversation with the weapon spirit and even his exploration of spiritual thoughts only happened in a very short period of time. In Shangguanfeng's eyes, Gu Zheng just followed him here and stopped to look at the sea for about three or four seconds.
It's just time.
Seeing Shangguan Feng frown slightly, Gu Zheng pointed his finger towards the forest on the shore.
"Don't get me wrong, fellow Daoist Shangguan. I said that I went to the sea by boat, not that I wanted to go into the sea myself. Since the shape of the immortal array after taking effect is like a water tank, I wanted to see if there is anything at the mouth of the tank.
A different discovery!”
There is a wooden boat in the woods, which can accommodate ten people.
"I brought Master Gu here today. I never thought about letting Master Gu go into the sea."
Shangguan Feng's voice paused, and then he said: "However, Master Mu also said that if Master Gu has any request, we will try our best to cooperate! Master Gu wants to take a boat into the sea, which is not impossible, but we have to do it in advance
Chapter Three of the Law of Offers.”
Gu Zheng nodded and said, "You say."
"When we row into the sea later, I hope that Gu Zhang and Miss Miao Miao will just take a look and not make any practical actions, let alone touch things in the sea! Moreover, this time we enter the sea, only half an hour, as long as Gu Zhang
If both Men and Miss Miaomiao can abide by the agreement, then we will go to sea immediately." Shangguan Feng said.
Meow Meow, who had been silent all this time, said, "You can't touch things in the sea. What do you mean?"
"It refers to fish, shrimp, and all animals in the water." Shangguan Feng said.
"Okay, just follow what fellow Taoist Shangguan said!"
Gu Zheng agreed, but Shangguan Feng looked extremely serious about this matter. He didn't walk towards the woods until Miao Miao nodded.
The wooden boat was quickly pushed out by Shangguanfeng. After the three people boarded the boat, Shangguanfeng immediately started paddling with both hands.
The sea was very quiet, and there was not even a breeze. Maybe he was remembering his previous experience. Ever since he entered the sea, Shangguan Feng seemed very nervous. He even looked back from time to time, as if he was afraid that something would appear on the sea.
.
"Master Gu, the location we are in now is already the mouth of the tank. Can we stop the boat here?" Shangguan Feng asked.
"Okay, let's stop here for a while!"
Gu Zheng smiled faintly and stood on the bow of the boat, pretending to be looking around, but in fact he had already set his mind to explore the sea.
"It's really different!"
Just as Gu Zheng's spiritual thoughts entered the sea, the voice of the weapon spirit was already heard.
"Why is it different?" Gu Zheng asked.
In fact, Gu Zheng also discovered something different, but apart from being a little cold, he didn't find much about this difference. And he also felt that the difference mentioned by Qi Ling must not mean coldness!
"Continue to go deeper and you will find more." Qi Ling did not answer directly.
The depth of 100 meters was quickly explored.
"What is the difference you feel now?" Qi Ling asked.
"In addition to the coldness I felt at the beginning, I always felt that there seemed to be mysterious energy in the sea water. They were like some filaments. When faced with the exploration of spiritual thoughts, I always felt that I wanted to cling to spiritual thoughts.
The feeling, but the movement is slow. However, when I want to follow their traces, they all disappear without a trace."
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said: "It seems that those three immortal cultivators didn't tell the branch of Tianluo Sect everything. At least they didn't tell them about the thin threads that they wanted to attach to their spiritual thoughts."
"Everyone has selfish motives." Qi Ling smiled: "The filaments you feel actually belong to an extremely rare evil spirit! This kind of evil spirit was born between heaven and earth, is not caused by man, and is very overbearing! If not
If the spiritual mind enters the sea, if the body enters the sea, a fifth-level cultivator would be extremely lucky to end up like Shangguan Feng!" Qi Ling said.
Gu Zheng thought for a while and said: "Weapon Spirit, since there is such a very special evil here, does the immortal formation below exist to seal the evil? As for the blood tide, is it something that happens when the evil becomes huge to a certain extent?
What about an appearance?”
"You guessed it right! With the existence of this kind of evil spirit, no wonder during the blood tide, immortal cultivators in the realm of returning to the virtual realm will be in bad luck when doing exploration!" The weapon spirit said seriously.
"Since we know that this is a dangerous evil place, is it necessary to continue to investigate further?" Gu Zheng asked.
