1 "Senior Brother, let's join forces. He is only in the early stage of Golden Immortal. We are three against one. Can't we still deal with him?"
Jinxian surnamed Wu was worried about her apprentice and immediately said that she and her senior brother had been stopped by Gu Zheng before. She knew Gu Zheng's realm and understood that Gu Zheng's strength was not in line with this realm.
Before, Gu Zheng just casually struck a knife, but it was a little difficult for her to block it. She also felt the crazy sword strike that Gu Zheng directed at the sky. Her feelings were somewhat different from those of her senior brother. She was even a little scared. She could feel that.
One strike of his sword was enough to kill her, so she proposed that the three of them join forces. It would be impossible for her alone to defeat Gu Zheng.
"Elder brother, we can't let them go, otherwise our Sanxian Cave's face will certainly be lost!"
Another Jinxian also said something, this is also a woman, but she has never faced Gu Zheng before. She knows that Gu Zheng is powerful, but she is not particularly clear about Gu Zheng's strength.
However, she believes that if the three of them work together, they will be able to defeat Gu Zheng.
The senior brother's face was gloomy and he didn't speak. He also knew that Sanxiandong's face had been completely lost this time. Someone had kidnapped his disciple from his own home. It would be an absolute shame and humiliation for this kind of thing to spread. The key is that they haven't taken this disciple away yet.
Save him.
But he thought more. The strength shown by Gu Zheng in the previous fight made him jealous, but he was not afraid. He also had a trump card in his hand, that is, the two of them pretended to be disciples of Shushan. As long as he reported this matter to Shushan
, when the time comes, Shushan will definitely not let the two of them go. If Shushan comes forward, he will naturally be much better than them.
There is such a premise that he does not want to fight Gu Zheng now. When he is not sure, his first thought is to protect himself.
The eldest brother did not agree, so the two of them could only worry.
The three of them didn't make a move, and Gu Zheng didn't move either. His purpose was not to fight, but to save people and complete his purpose. Although his actual combat power was stronger than the three of them and could even kill them, he wouldn't do it unless he had to.
If he does this, if he really does this, he will be fighting Sanxiandong until death, unless he destroys the entire Sanxiandong sect.
Let’s not talk about whether he has this reason or not. Killing people’s sect casually in the ancient times is not a good reputation, and Gu Zheng is not a murderous person.
The four of them were in a stalemate like this, and the National Preceptor of the Ancient Holy Kingdom was frightened.
At first, he thought that Gu Zheng had invited Shi Qinglan to help remove the poison, but when the two came down, he was dumbfounded. It was obvious that Shi Qinglan was kidnapped and forced to come here.
The arrival of the three Golden Immortals from Sanxian Cave later proved this point. The three Golden Immortals came after them, plus Gu Zheng and his two Golden Immortals, there were five Golden Immortals. If they really fought here, the palace would be shocked.
If it can be dismantled, if he doesn't run away, he may even be in trouble.
He is the national master here. If he runs away, his reputation in this life will be completely ruined. Not to mention in the world of mortals, there will be many people who look down on him in the world of immortal cultivators. He will be particularly confused and worried.
There had been no action in the sky, which finally made him feel a little bit at ease, but it was only a little bit. Now it was as if the air was full of explosives, and any spark could detonate it.
After a while, Ouyang Hai came out of the princess's room with Shi Qinglan. Without saying a word, he directly carried Shi Qinglan and flew into the air. He came to Gu Zheng's side and nodded gently.
"Give it back to you!"
Ouyang Hai threw Shi Qinglan over. The woman surnamed Wu hurriedly took over his beloved disciple and checked him up and down. She was relieved when she saw that his beloved disciple was only controlled by his immortal power and no harm was done. However, soon, she felt angry in her heart.
Her beloved disciple was kidnapped in front of her and she could do nothing. This was absolutely a shame and humiliation for her.
"You two, please leave your names!"
Seeing that the disciple was sent back safely, the senior brother finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the disciple was killed, he would do it even if he didn't want to fight anymore. Now the disciple is harmless and they have lost face, but they have a way to retaliate against these two people, so
He didn't have that much resentment in his heart.
In his opinion, the two of them were seeking death by pretending to be Shushan disciples, and they would be dead without him taking action.
Hearing what the senior brother said, the woman surnamed Wu felt pain in her heart again. The senior brother said this to let the two of them go, and she was unwilling to continue fighting. She knew that it was wise to do so. After all, the opponent's strength was mysterious and they were not sure.
It is better to keep the other party than to let them go.
Anyway, the other party has the leverage in her own hands, and someone will take care of them when the time comes. She understands, but letting the two of them leave like this makes her feel very uncomfortable.
"Ancient struggle!"
"Ouyang Hai!"
Gu Zheng could probably guess their intentions, but he was too lazy to pay attention. They were going back to Shushan anyway, and they were not afraid of the other party's tricks at all.
"We will protect this place from now on. If anything goes wrong here, I guarantee that Sanxian Cave will no longer exist!"
Gu Zheng glanced at the three people and said something again. The elder brother's face showed anger again, but he took Ouyang Hai to the ground and ignored the three people.
He left such a warning for the sake of this mortal princess and the people here. If he could not save people, and let others harm him later, such saving would be meaningless.
"let's go!"
Watching Gu Zheng leave, the eldest brother's face turned extremely fierce, he said something viciously, and then flew out.
No matter how unwilling Jinxian Wu was, he had no choice but to return here with his disciples. After returning, the senior brother immediately ordered all the disciples to spread the news about two people pretending to be Shushan disciples and cheating.
Let Jinxian Wu surnamed make a personal trip to Shushan to complain.
As long as Shushan knows about this, it will be impossible to let the two of them go. If Shushan is offended, the two of them will no longer have any foothold in the ancient world.
Gu Zheng didn't know their thoughts and practices, and it didn't matter if he did. He was originally from Shushan, and he was not pretending at all. The princess was cured of the poison, and the cause of her illness was cured immediately. She had already remembered that what she missed was the neighboring country.
Prince, she is no longer anxious at this moment, like a little girl in Huaichun, her heart is full of longing.
There is nothing he can do about this ancient dispute. He doesn't understand the poison, the consequences of the poison, and doesn't know how to get rid of it. However, he has no intention of getting involved in this matter. It is a private matter in itself.
Besides, the prince was a good match for the princess, and the emperor had no objection, and he had no reason to object.
The king of the Ancient Holy Kingdom also knew Gu Zheng's identity. Gu Zheng and Ouyang Hai flew into the palace in a big way. If he didn't know it, he would be a fool. After knowing it, he didn't dare to neglect it, nor did he dare to mention that Gu Zheng would be left as an imperial doctor.
Or maybe it was the imperial chef’s idea.
The next day, after the princess was completely cured, Gu Zheng left.
Before leaving, the Imperial Master brought a lot of good things to Gu Zheng, some of them were rare treasures, and some of them were raw materials that could be used for cultivation. The quantity was not large, but the quality was not good, and two of them were excellent.
In the prehistoric era, it can be said that ordinary levels are everywhere, medium levels are very common, and excellent ones are not very rare. Even a mortal country can produce high-grade raw materials. You can imagine the abundance in the prehistoric era.
As for the advanced ones that are not seen at all on earth, there are also many in the ancient times. However, these kinds of raw materials are helpful to many people in the Golden Immortal Realm, so most of them have flowed into the hands of various sects and forces, and are rarely seen among the people.
.
As for things like gold and silver, the Imperial Master did not bring them. In his opinion, there must be no shortage of such things in Guzheng. It would be an insult to send such things to the two golden immortals.
Gu Zheng accepted all the gifts brought by the Imperial Preceptor, and asked the Imperial Preceptor for the way to Shushan.
When Gu Zheng asked, the imperial master was drinking tea, and he almost spit out the tea. The two of them were clearly disciples of Shushan, but they asked him how to get to Shushan. He even doubted whether he had heard wrongly.
It wasn't until Gu Zheng explained that he understood that Gu Zheng and the two were disciples of Shu Mountain, yes, but they were disciples of the lower realm. Now they have cultivated to the point of Golden Immortal and entered the ancient world. They had to go to the ancient Shu Mountain to recognize their disciples, so they didn't know where Shu Mountain was.
This explanation was reasonable, and the Imperial Master did not doubt anything else. He informed the Shu Mountain route in detail, and lamented that the little princess was so lucky to be rescued by two golden immortals from the lower world, who were also golden immortals from the Shu Mountain.
She is an immortal, and is willing to offend a sect for her, and directly capture their disciples domineeringly.
At the same time, he also wanted to watch the joke of Sanxian Cave and have a direct conflict with the Shushan disciples and see how they would end it.
Not two days after Gu Zheng left, the news that two people were pretending to be Shushan disciples to commit murder and deceit spread quickly. The Imperial Master's face turned blue and white after hearing the news. He thought a lot, but he never thought about Gu Zheng and the two.
It's a fake. The news was spread with nose and eyes, very detailed. The two of them don't have fairy swords, and they don't know the basic Yiqing Jue of Shushan. They are just fake.
This made him suspicious, so he finally asked for leave from the emperor and returned to his master's school to avoid the limelight and see what happens next.
At this moment, Gu Zheng didn't know that he had been rumored to be a liar. He and Ouyang Hai were flying in the air. After getting the route map of Shushan from the Imperial Master, he planned to go back to Shushan first.
Although he has no feelings for Shushan, he still has feelings for Emei. Emei has several generations of ancestors in Shushan. No matter what, he wants to meet these ancestors, and at the same time, he also has a sense of showing off in his heart.
When he took over Emei, what was Emei like? It is no exaggeration to say that it was almost in danger of annihilating the sect. There was not a single immortal cultivator in the sect. The two elders were forced to go out to arrest people and come back to be the leader. The number of disciples was even higher.
It's less than a hundred, so you can imagine how far it has fallen.
What now?
Even Kunlun Shushan, which ranks first and second, attaches great importance to Emei. Emei is basically on an equal footing with them, and in terms of the number of immortal cultivators, Emei is much more than them. In terms of superficial strength, Emei is absolutely
It has become the number one in China.
Of course, this is only superficial strength. In terms of foundation, it is still inferior to these two major factions. Emei itself has always been a Shushan branch. Even if it becomes stronger, it cannot change this.
The distance between Shushan and them is indeed not close. Judging from the map, they have to pass through 130 mortal kingdoms and pass through many mountains to reach it. Even if they fly at full strength, it will take several months to get there.
In addition, there are some dangerous places on the road, such as the territory of a certain great demon, or the territory of some major demonic sects. The national master suggested that they should avoid it if they can.
This time Gu Zheng followed the advice. Shushan is a big brand, but it is not omnipotent. Some demonic sects have enmity with Shushan, and there are also some big demons who have no dealings with Shushan. This brand may not be useful there.
.
What's more, what happened in Sanxian Cave reminded him that he is not a true disciple of Shushan yet. He has no way to prove himself. If he goes out and continues to say this, he may even get himself into trouble.
One month later, we looked south to Buzhou and Tianyu Kingdom.
This is the easternmost country in Nanzhan continent. On its east side is a long desert. After passing the desert, you will reach the territory of Dongsheng Shenzhou. This desert is very long. Fortunately, immortals can fly there. Ordinary people can use it.
If you walk, you won't be able to get there in your lifetime.
Such a desert completely separates the mortals of the two continents, and the only ones who can communicate are the immortals.
Not to mention the vastness of the desert, there are still many dangers in the desert, including many ferocious beasts. These ferocious beasts are not intelligent, but they are not weak in strength. Some ferocious beasts can even be compared with the Golden Immortal.
Immortals should also be careful when flying in the air. There may be vicious beasts attacking them at any time in the desert.
Even if Gu Zheng and Ouyang Hai flew across this desert, it would take a month. There was no place to stop and have a good rest on the way, so before entering the desert, they first took a good rest in Tianyu Country, the last place.
The place where they settled was not the capital of Tianyu Kingdom, but the largest city in front of the desert, Dongsha City. From here, after leaving the city, it was a day's walk to the edge of the desert.
Although Dongsha City is located on the border, the city is not small and has a large population, with a population of close to ten million.
The more dangerous the place, the more opportunities there are. This basically exists everywhere. The same goes for this desert. There are countless ferocious beasts in the desert, and there are also many treasures and resources. Some of the sand that grows in the desert
Fruits, sand grass, many of them are good treasures. If you are lucky enough to encounter a few valuable materials, an ordinary mortal can completely change his destiny in one go.
This is somewhat similar to the treasure hunters in hell. The difference is that the treasure hunters in hell only do it when they have no other choice, while here most of them come here to seek their own breakthroughs or to make a fortune.
In the city, less than half are such people. You can imagine how many there are. Among this small half, 70% to 80% are cultivators. Many have reached the fifth level of inner strength. Unless there is a special reason, they will spend their entire lives.
It is impossible to break through to the realm of immortal cultivators, so come here to try your luck. If you encounter good materials and can make them break through, you can make a lot of money.
Gu Zheng didn't care about this. He and Ouyang Hai stayed in a pretty good-looking inn first. It was on the border and prices were very high. The room they stayed in actually cost over a hundred taels of silver per room, and that was for a day.
Hundreds of taels of silver are enough to buy a house in other cities.
It's a bit expensive, but it's really clean and complete inside. Gu Zheng didn't care about these little things and just paid the rent for five days, planning to rest here for a few days before setting off to cross the desert and head to Dongsheng China.
.
In addition to mortals, there are some immortals in the city. Immortals need more resources to practice. Not every immortal has countless resources to use. Why do some immortals want to enter the mortal kingdom? Isn’t it just to cultivate resources? The mortal kingdom is also divided into
It is impossible for those who are in the territory, have no background, are alone, or are in a small sect to compete with others.
Just like the national master of the Ancient Holy Kingdom, he himself has reached the realm of returning to the virtual world, and the master behind him still has the existence of the Golden Immortal. Only a person like him can occupy the position of a national master in a mortal country and let the Ancient Holy Kingdom provide him with training resources.
.
Without resources, it is impossible to quickly improve your strength. If your qualifications are average, you will not be able to progress. In the realm of cultivating immortals, the longevity of each step is different. The realm of transformation can only last for a thousand years, and the realm of returning to the void can reach ten thousand years.
Whether it is to survive or to improve their strength, they need to collect resources. All poor immortal cultivators or casual cultivators want to try their luck in the desert. There are more and better resources there, unlike some other places.
The famous mountains and rivers are all occupied, and it is impossible for them to go inside to obtain resources.
After checking into the inn, Gu Zheng noticed three immortal cultivators, two in the Qi Transformation realm and one in the Divine Transformation realm. They all looked like old people. After the three people revealed their identities, the inn immediately gave them free rooms and made them happy.
Worshiped.
Immortals still have many privileges in the mortal world. Free food and accommodation is just one kind. Of course, it is not completely free. At least they are served and entertained. If there is really something here, they will help if they can.
It also acts as a temporary talisman for the inn.
Only immortals have such treatment, not cultivators, even those at the late fifth level. There are more cultivators in the prehistoric times. Apart from being stronger than ordinary people, their treatment is not much better than that of ordinary people.
"Master, why don't we go back and you can make anything? The food here is really not very delicious!"
After eating at a restaurant in the city, Ouyang Hai looked at Gu Zheng and said expectantly, this is just a mortal restaurant opened by ordinary people. Although it is large and luxurious, the cooking skills are average.
Of course, this is generally compared with Gu Zheng, and compared with other mortal chefs, it is already pretty good.
After thinking about it, Gu Zheng nodded in agreement, and a smile immediately appeared on Ouyang Hai's face. When they rested along the way, Gu Zheng would go out and ask if there was any Xianchu restaurant. Unfortunately, there wasn't any, so he went to these mortal restaurants to eat.
.
But looking at it now, no matter how good Mortal Restaurant is, it still can't compare with Xianchu Restaurant. Now Ouyang Hai made a request to cook it himself. He also wanted to improve the taste, so he simply agreed.
Compared with these restaurants, the food they cook is not that good. Gu Zheng is also used to eating the food he cooks. He really can't eat much food from restaurants in the mortal world. Most of them just try it. They order it.
