The cultivator who stopped and looked at Gu Zheng was an old man. He looked very thin and his small eyes were looking at Gu Zheng.
"The early cultivation level of Daluo Jinxian."
The voice of the weapon spirit sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"Fellow Taoist, Sun Cheng is so polite!"
The thin old man smiled and cupped his fists at Gu Zheng.
"Excuse me Baizhu!" Gu Zheng returned the salute with his fists clasped.
"Looking at how friendly Taoist fellow Taoist is, he must be a new comer to the Immortal Camp, right?" Sun Cheng asked.
"That's right, I just came today!" Gu Zheng said.
"The direction fellow Taoist is going to should also be Yaoguang Peak. How about we go there together?"
"Can!"
Faced with Sun Cheng's invitation, Gu Zheng did not refuse.
When I first came to Xianying, Gu Zheng happened to want to find someone to learn more about the situation in Xianying.
Through communication with Sun Cheng, Gu Zheng learned that this was not the first time that Sun Cheng came to this fairy camp.
In fact, the Immortal Camp not only accepts immortal cultivators who came from the prehistoric era to do missions. After all, the operation of the immortal world requires maintenance every day, and the maintenance of an immortal array requires a very large number of immortal cultivators.
It’s far from enough. Therefore, Xianying also recruits maintenance personnel from outside all year round.
As a reward for maintenance personnel, they usually increase the time they can stay in the heaven. However, this kind of job is considered a lucrative job among the immortal cultivators in the heaven, and it is not something that ordinary people can apply for if they want to. And in the early days of Sun Chengda Luo Jinxian
With his cultivation level, he was able to work in the immortal camp several times, which is enough to show that this person has a good way of interpersonal communication.
Sun Cheng's impression of Gu Zheng is that he is good at digging into camps and has a wide range of friends. Just like he stopped Gu Zheng and invited Gu Zheng to go forward together. It seems to be a simple thing, but it can be considered that he has a certain relationship with Gu Zheng.
A little bit of friendship.
For people like Sun Cheng, Gu Zheng was somewhat repulsive.
From Gu Zheng's point of view, people like Sun Cheng have almost no so-called real friendship. When they make friends with others, they all act with a certain purpose.
"I would like to ask fellow Taoist Bai to take care of me in the future!"
After asking some things about Gu Zheng, Sun Cheng looked at Gu Zheng with uplifting eyes.
Although Gu Zheng had already stated that he was a thousand years old when asked by Sun Cheng, especially regarding his age, in the eyes of Sun Cheng, who was already over 3,000 years old, he was still a good young man with a bright future.
"Fortunately, the mask Mr. Tiexian gave you has no drawbacks. Otherwise, your age could be seen, and this guy doesn't know how to praise you!" Qi Ling said with a smile.
"His praise is in vain. Of course I know what his intentions are."
Gu Zheng smiled, and then spoke to Sun Cheng: "Fellow Daoist Sun, you are so humble. How dare you take care of me? I have only been in the Immortal Camp for a day today."
"You can't say that. I think fellow Taoist is like a piece of gold. Even if he has only been in Xianying for a day, he will shine brightly after all! Just like Shang Hong, even though he has just come to Xianying not long ago, now he is here
In the fairy camp, he is already a famous figure that everyone knows." Sun Cheng said with a smile.
"Oh? Shang Hong? Who is this person?" Gu Zheng asked curiously.
"Although my fellow Taoist is new to the Immortal Camp, you don't know who Shang Hong is, right?"
Sun Cheng was incredible. In his opinion, even if Gu Zheng had just arrived at the Immortal Camp today, he would have definitely heard of Shang Hong as long as he had talked with the immortal cultivators in the same cave.
"I really don't know! After I came to the Immortal Camp, I was taken to my residence by Geng Immortal Officer. I came out of my residence and wandered around for a while, and then I met you, fellow Taoist. I had never had contact with other people before."
After hearing Gu Zheng's explanation, Sun Cheng nodded, and then talked about Shang Hong to Gu Zheng with excitement.
The reason why Gu Zheng wants to go to Yaoguang Peak is because there is a ‘Illusion Field’ on Yaoguang Peak.
Fighting is prohibited in the fairy camp, but fighting in the 'Illusion Battlefield' is a permitted pastime. After all, what enters the 'Illusion Battlefield' is just a ray of spiritual thought from the immortal cultivator, and the spiritual thought can be transformed into
In the form of the main body, fighting with the means possessed by the main body, even if there are casualties on both sides of the battle, the loss is only a ray of spiritual thought.
The 'Illusion Battlefield' on Yaoguang Peak is very popular in the Immortal Camp. Some people compete with each other, and naturally some people place bets, so there are many people watching the excitement.
Shang Hong became famous in the 'Fantasy Realm Battlefield'. As a late cultivator of Daluo Jinxian, he had only been in the Immortal Camp for only one month and had already set a record of twenty-five consecutive victories. Now in the 'Fantasy Realm Battlefield'
' has very high odds.
The reason why Sun Cheng compared Gu Zheng with Shang Hong was that Shang Hong was also very young and had only practiced for more than 1,300 years.
"The person who is fighting Shang Hong today has served in the Immortal Camp for almost three months. He has a record of twelve consecutive victories before. His name is Shentu Lingfeng, and his cultivation level is also in the late Da Luo Jinxian stage." Sun Chengdao
.
"When is the battle between Shang Hong and Shentu Lingfeng today?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Just a quarter of an hour later, fellow Taoists watched their discussion, and they had enough time to gather in the square." Sun Cheng said with a smile.
"This Shentu Lingfeng, how many times has he participated in a total of competitions?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"He has only participated in a total of twelve games. He doesn't usually go to Yaoguang Peak very much. I guess this competition with Shang Hong can be regarded as a commemoration of his completion of the service!"
Sun Cheng's voice paused, and then he laughed and said, "Do you want to buy Shentu Lingfeng to win, fellow Taoist?"
"I may not participate in betting, not to mention that I don't know the strength of both parties."
Gu Zheng likes gambling very much, but he only likes sure bets.
Sun Cheng nodded and said: "Although the odds of winning if you buy Shang Hong are very low, if you want to participate in gambling, I suggest you buy Shang Hong! According to my observation, Shentu Lingfeng will not be Shang Hong's opponent.
."
Sun Cheng's voice was very low, as if he had sold a favor to Gu Zheng.
"Thank you in advance, Fellow Daoist Sun. We will decide later whether we want to bet or not! However, Bai also wants to ask Fellow Daoist Sun about something. Do you think there is a shady secret behind this kind of gambling?"
Gu Zheng looked at Sun Cheng, who shook his head and smiled: "First of all, the Xianying side has declared to the outside world that the so-called shady story is not allowed in the 'Illusion Battlefield' gambling. If the contestants are found to be cheating, they will be severely punished.
! Moreover, the 'Illusion Battlefield' on Yaoguang Peak is a mysterious space refined by the Holy Immortal himself. Whether there is water leakage or not, the Immortal Camp can even be said to be completely aware! Secondly, there is one rule in the gambling rules.
Make sure that the banker will not lose! That is, in a gambling game, there are only so many fairy coins in the prize pool. Even if the banker loses, the most it will be is the fairy coins of the party who lost the bet, and all of them will be lost.
That’s enough! Based on these two points, I think there shouldn’t be any shady story here, right?”
Sun Cheng was very tactful. Even though he thought there would be no shady plot in the gambling game, he still left the right of judgment in Gu Zheng's hands.
"It seems there is nothing shady anymore." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
Around the 'Illusion Battlefield', Gu Zheng chatted with Sun Cheng for a while, and then the two flew to Yaoguang Peak.
The 'Illusion Battlefield' on Yaoguang Peak is in the middle of the mountain. After Gu Zheng and Sun Cheng entered the mountain, they soon saw a huge square. There were about forty cultivators sitting in one corner of the square, and in the center of the square.
Sitting cross-legged is a rather young-looking man wearing brocade clothes. This man is Shang Hong.
The gambling in the 'Illusion Battlefield' is not private gambling, the banker is from the Immortal Camp.
As he led Gu Zheng towards the immortal official in charge, Sun Cheng was smiling from a distance.
"Hello Huo Xianguan!"
Sun Cheng greeted Huo Xianguan, who was wearing immortal armor but was less than five feet tall.
"You're here again, kid? Are you going to bet this time, or are you going to watch the battle?"
Huo Xianguan, who looked like a little old man, looked very familiar with Sun Cheng. When he talked to Sun Cheng with a smile, his eyes glanced at Gu Zheng.
Sun Cheng laughed: "I want to not only watch the battle, but also participate in the betting! Huo Xianguan, what are the odds of this game?"
"Shang Hong wins, one to one, Shentu Lingfeng wins, one to ten!" Huo Xianguan said.
"Old rules, buyer Hongying, one bet!"
Sun Cheng handed the immortal coins to Huo Xianguan. The so-called one note was four blue immortal coins.
When Gu Zheng was on the road, he had already learned that Sun Cheng was originally quite poor, but through gambling in the 'Illusion Battlefield', he had accumulated a sum of immortal coins. Although Sun Cheng did not disclose the amount of the immortal coins.
, but according to Gu Zheng's guess, if what he said is true, then the number of immortal coins should have exceeded a hundred, which can be regarded as a considerable fortune.
"You won at least forty Blue Immortal coins here in Shang Hong, right? Why are you so cautious in your bets?"
Huo Xianguan, who was registering Sun Cheng, had a hint of contempt in his voice.
Sun Cheng showed no concern for Huo Xianguan's disdain. He laughed and said, "Be careful with your ten thousand year ship!"
"What about the viewing qualifications? How many do you want?" Huo Xianguan asked.
The so-called viewing qualifications also require money, and each qualification costs one Blue Fairy Coin.
"two!"
Sun Cheng took out two Blue Immortal coins and asked for the viewing fee paid by Daigu Zhenglai.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, I have immortal coins here!"
Seeing Gu Zheng hand a Blue Immortal Coin to Huo Xianguan, Sun Cheng didn't say anything to offend Gu Zheng.
"New here, what's your name?"
Huo Xianguan's voice paused, and then he said: "It is quite rare for Sun Cheng to take the initiative to help you pay for the viewing fee!"
Huo Xianguan teased Sun Cheng and looked at Gu Zheng with curiosity.
"Baizhu."
Gu Zheng reported his name, and then said: "You are willing to help me pay for the viewing fee, which shows that Fellow Daoist Sun thinks we are compatible!"
Not all immortal officials are very powerful. Just like the Huo Immortal in front of him, his cultivation is only at the late stage of the Golden Immortal. If it weren't for his identity, Gu Zheng wouldn't believe that he dared to talk to Sun Cheng like this! It was precisely because of Huo
The immortal official's attitude was either contemptuous or teasing, which made Gu Zheng feel a little disgusted with him, so he said something to the embarrassed Sun Cheng.
Huo Xianguan smiled noncommittally: "Since you have immortal coins, do you want to take a gamble?"
"I don't want to gamble. I don't understand many things when I'm new here, so just take a look." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Hello, Huo Xianguan!"
At this time, another immortal cultivator came over and also greeted Huo Xianguan from a distance.
"You can go in."
Huo Xianguan said something to Guzheng and the others, and then greeted the new immortal cultivators.
As they walked towards the square, both Gu Zheng and Sun Cheng heard that the new immortal cultivator had won by betting on Shentu Lingfeng, and he bought four bets at once!
"How cruel! Four bets at a time, if you win, you will get forty Blue Immortal coins!" Sun Cheng sent a message to Gu Zheng.
"It hurts a lot to lose, sixteen Blue Immortal coins at a time!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
While chatting with Sun Cheng on the road, Gu Zheng learned more about the 'Illusion Battlefield'.
If you want to enter the 'Illusion Battlefield' to compete, what means do you have? You need to enter the 'Illusion Battlefield' in advance, so that when your mind is in the 'Illusion Field', you can use your own means. There is no means of entry.
, it cannot be used at all in the 'Illusion Battlefield'.
It is precisely because of the characteristics of the 'Illusion Battlefield' that when Shang Hong's winning rate is so high, some people still dare to buy the challenger to win! After all, the methods the challenger has shown before do not mean that they are all his methods. Perhaps this
It is unknown what new methods he will incorporate next time.
Moreover, since it is a competition, both parties will also have an agreement. Some magical powers cannot be used. For example, magical powers such as the Immortal Realm are prohibited in the 'Illusion Realm Battlefield'. Otherwise, a Da Luo Jinxian with the Immortal Realm will
In the later stage, when it comes to 'defending the battle', I'm afraid it will be difficult to win without the quasi-sage taking action, which also loses the meaning of the existence of the 'illusion battlefield'.
The battle hadn't started yet. After Gu Zheng and Sun Cheng arrived at the square, they sat cross-legged next to those who came first.
There were many people around Sun Mingmao, and he was busy greeting those who came first. Gu Zheng, on the other hand, entered the battlefield with his spiritual thoughts first.
The vision in front of him changed, and the scene turned into a desert under a bloody sunset.
As a spectator, Guzheng appeared on a high platform on the edge of the desert.
Perhaps it was because the competition would not start for a while and Shentu Lingfeng had not arrived yet, so there was only Gu Zheng on the viewing platform.
However, as the 'Challenger', Shang Hong was already in the desert. He sensed someone appearing on the viewing platform, and his eyes drifted over.
"newcomer?"
Shang Hong spoke to Gu Zheng.
"Yes!" Gu Zheng said.
"Have you placed any bets?" Shang Hong asked again.
"No, it's not good to bet blindly if you don't understand everything." Gu Zheng said.
It was just a simple conversation, but Shang Hong looked at Gu Zheng with a fighting spirit in his eyes.
"You are very special!"
Shang Hong looked at Gu Zheng and licked his lips.
"Oh? What special method?" Gu Zheng frowned slightly.
"You are very plain, and I don't see any fear in your eyes!"
Shang Hong paused, then looked at Gu Zheng: "What level of cultivation are you at?"
"What do you think?" Gu Zheng shrugged and smiled.
Shang Hong also laughed: "I don't like guessing, but I'm starting to look forward to you coming to the 'Illusion Battlefield' to challenge me! Don't worry, if your cultivation level is not at the late stage of Daluo Jinxian, when you compete with me, I will
Suppress my cultivation to the same level as you. As for some of the magical powers I possess, you can check them from the immortal officials outside. If you are worried that any of my magical powers will pose a great threat to you, we can also negotiate in advance.
, make some restrictions on this.”
It's not that Gu Zheng hadn't heard Sun Cheng mention Shang Hong's bellicosity, but he didn't expect that he would attract Shang Hong's attention as soon as he entered the 'illusion battlefield'.
"Do you want to challenge you? I'm not interested in that at the moment!" Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled.
Shang Hong frowned: "I hate your current smile."
"Whoosh..."
A light flashed beside Gu Zheng, and Sun Cheng also entered the 'Illusion Battlefield'.
"Originally I wanted to introduce two friends to fellow Taoists, but fellow Taoists came in first." Sun Cheng smiled at Gu Zheng.
"Sun Mouse, is this person your friend?" Shang Hong asked Sun Cheng.
"Oops, I thought fellow Taoist Shang was meditating, and I didn't say hello to fellow Taoist. I expected fellow Taoist Haihan!"
Sun Cheng looked at Shang Hong with a smile on his face, and spoke in a very humble manner, and even his hands shook involuntarily.
Shang Hong waved his hand impatiently: "Sun Mouse, I told you clearly that I want to discuss with your friend, but he is afraid of fighting and dare not agree. Please convince him! Don't worry, this is the 'Illusion Battlefield'.
Even if he is killed by me, all he will lose is a ray of divine will, and you can get a reward of ten Blue Immortal Coins from me!"
Sun Cheng looked at Gu Zheng, then looked at Shang Hong and said: "Shang Dao friends, stop joking. How can we force such a thing to be discussed?"
Seeing that Sun Cheng dared to refuse, Shang Hong's face suddenly dropped: "Sun Shu, don't be so shameless!"
"You are such an interesting person. If you want to compete with me, you don't need to involve others, right? Just wait! One day when I am in a better mood, I will compete with you."
Even though Gu Zheng had a good temper, he was finally unhappy with Shang Hong! Although he didn't say the exact time, he had already had the idea of teaching Shang Hong a lesson.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
The light in the 'Illusion Battlefield' flashed continuously, and many viewers who were originally outside came in.
"Friend Shang Dao!"
"Fellow Taoist Shentu has arrived and is recording the methods outside. It seems that he is going to use some trump card this time!"
"Fellow Daoist Shang, how sure do you think you are of winning this time?"
When the spectators who came in saw that Shang Hong was not meditating, they spoke one after another.
Shang Hong glanced at Gu Zheng with a sneer and began to communicate with the new viewers. His cold look also made the new viewers pay more attention to Gu Zheng.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, why did you provoke Shang Hong?" Sun Cheng sent a message to Gu Zheng with a wry smile.
"I didn't provoke him. He didn't like me and came to see me." Gu Zheng said calmly.
"If you offend Shang Hong, you will be in trouble in the immortal camp! Although sparring is prohibited in the immortal camp, despite Shang Hong's popularity, as long as nothing serious happens, the immortal officials will turn a blind eye.
"Sun Cheng said worriedly.
"If he wants to stir up trouble, I can only accompany him."
Gu Zheng smiled indifferently and turned to Sun Cheng: "Fellow Daoist Sun, you seem to be very afraid of this Shang Hong!"
Recalling that Sun Cheng's hands shook unconsciously before, Gu Zheng felt that Sun Cheng's fear of Shang Hong was not that simple.
"To be honest with you Daoist Bai, I had a little quarrel with Shang Hong before, and he gave me a lesson. Later, I relied on my connections to settle the matter. But who would have thought that something like this would happen again today." Sun Cheng sighed.
road.
"In the end, it's because of me that I got Fellow Daoist Sun into trouble. I'm really sorry!" Gu Zheng said.
"I originally told you to take care of fellow Taoist, but now I am in trouble because of fellow Taoist's affairs. If Shang Hong targets me, fellow Taoist will not ignore it, right?"
Sun Cheng looked at Gu Zheng pitifully, and his reaction surprised Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng originally thought that Sun Cheng would make a fool of himself and say it was okay, but would come back to him when something really happened! But Gu Zheng didn't expect that,
Sun Cheng actually directly said what he was thinking.
"Do you think I can protect you?" Gu Zheng pretended to be surprised.
"Sun's cultivation talent is not very high, but he is generally very accurate in judging people! The Taoist friend can attract Shang Hong's attention, and he doesn't look worried at all, so he must be someone to rely on. As for whether the Taoist friend can protect him
It doesn't really matter if you protect me, what matters is whether fellow Taoist friends are willing to protect me!"
Sun Cheng looked at Gu Zheng and smiled bitterly, his face almost wrinkled into a bitter melon.
"Since you are very good at judging people, do you think I am willing to protect you?" Gu Zheng said playfully.
"Fellow Taoist, stop playing tricks on me. If you are not willing to protect me, I will be in big trouble." Sun Cheng begged Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng did not directly answer Sun Cheng's question. Although Sun Cheng's more straightforward words changed his impression of Sun Cheng, his original prejudice against Sun Cheng still existed in his heart.
"Don't make friends casually. Making friends too casually is not always a good thing." Gu Zheng said lightly.
Hearing what Gu Zheng said, Sun Cheng's face showed embarrassment: "At first, I did think of multiple friends and multiple paths, but now Daoist Bai and I are tied to the same boat because of Shang Hong. If Daoist Bai
If Sun had a prejudice against Sun because of his intentional friendship at the beginning, Sun would have nothing to say."
"Let's watch the competition!" Gu Zheng said calmly.
In the moment when Gu Zheng and Sun Cheng were communicating, Shentu Lingfeng had already entered the venue, and all the spectators outside the venue had also entered, and the competition would begin soon.
"I have always wanted to discuss things with fellow Taoist Shentu, and today I finally got what I wanted!"
Shang Hong looked up and down at Shentu Lingfeng, who was wearing a blue Taoist robe, with an extremely emotional expression on his face.
"If I hadn't been moved by the bet you made, I wouldn't have come to have this discussion with you. After all, the discussion with you will expose my trump card."
Shentu Lingfeng's words made everyone understand that it turned out that there was a private bet between him and Shang Hong.
"Although the bet is good, fellow Taoist Shentu must have the strength to get it!"
Shang Hong paused and said with sharp eyes: "In other words, I hope fellow Taoist Shentu won the bet from me instead of being beaten to death by me in this 'illusion battlefield'!"
"Bang..."
Along with Shang Hong's voice, a bell rang in the illusion, which was a signal that the competition was about to begin.
"Fellow Daoist Shang is indeed arrogant enough. He wants to kill me, Shentu Lingfeng, in the 'Illusion Battlefield'. You are still a bit unqualified!"
Shentu Lingfeng's aura soared with his words. When his words fell to the ground, his robes and hair were affected by the aura, as if they were hunting in the strong wind.
"Bang..."
The second bell rings, and after the third bell rings, the competition can begin.
