"Wu You, you will be the most powerful guard captain of my family from now on. Because you are grateful to Aunt Cui for taking in our brothers, you specially kept the porcupine harvested this time, and then took us away!"
Gu Zheng set up an identity for Wu You, and also gave an explanation to the porcupine left behind. As for why he went back, he said that on the way, his family learned that they had been signed up to participate in Daxian's sermon, so he asked Wu You to take them back.
Firstly, this is a blessing, and secondly, I must not cause trouble to Aunt Cui.
As for the rest of the family, they were separated temporarily because they had other things to do. Wu You would take them away again after the sermon was over.
This explanation is slightly better, but it is also a bit far-fetched. Now that they have been found, why they were taken away without even seeing each other is totally unreasonable.
Now I can only use the excuse that there are other more important things at home. Aunt Cui won't ask anything. If she does ask, they are children, so just say they don't know.
As for Wu You, let him make it up himself. I believe he can do it well. If he can't even do this little thing, what else do you need him to do? From now on, he will be his agent. No matter what good things he has in the future, he will do it.
When he comes to buy or sell, he will have to make up more lies.
When Gu Zheng got the news, it was already afternoon when he went back. Even if Xiao Bailong galloped on horseback, it would still be evening before he could get back to Aunt Cui's house.
The nights in the villages here in Honghuang are similar to those in ancient times on earth. Once it gets dark, there are basically no people around and there are few lights. Gu Zheng has lived in Aunt Cui's house for more than two months and is very familiar with the situation in Aunt Cui's house. There is only a small lamp.
Oil lamp, and there is very little oil in the lamp. Unless there is an emergency, I will not light it at all.
At this time, there is no point in running back.
Even so, Gu Zheng still drove all night, which was slower, but he arrived at Huiyuan Village before dawn. After it got light, Gu Zheng asked Wu You to hold the horse and lead them into the village.
"Xiao Tie, Xiao Tao, you are back!"
Aunt Cui's door was open. Before he got there, Gu Zheng saw a person leaning on the outer door. Without entering, Gu Zheng already recognized that it was Aunt Cui.
"Aunt Cui, we are back, I'm sorry!"
Gu Zheng hurriedly dismounted and trotted over with Tao. Aunt Cui had also stood up, hugged them both, and started crying.
His crying made Gu Zheng feel a little sad. He really didn't think carefully this time. He never thought that his leaving would make Aunt Cui so sad.
"You must be Aunt Cui, I'm really sorry..."
After Aunt Cui cried for a while, Wu You stepped forward and began to explain that this was his task, and he knew very well what kind of punishment he would get if he didn't do it well, so he worked very hard.
Wu You is a talkative person, and his explanations are better than what Gu Zheng thought. He even smoothed over the matter of Gu Zheng's disappearance. As for the important matters of Gu Zheng's family, he was even more impressed by what he said.
Mysterious, I said I was working for Lord Fucheng Fuzun, so I didn’t have time to come over.
He also said that Gu Zheng's father was a sharpshooter, and his shooting skills were unrivaled by anyone in Fucheng. Those porcupines were all killed by Gu Zheng's father, and they were all killed by hitting the eyes with sharp arrows.
This also explains why the furs sent by Gu Zheng before were so complete. Gu Zheng told Wu You what happened before. Wu You came up with this completely by himself. He could think of this and explained it so well. Gu Zheng
Then he nodded secretly, this agent must have got it right.
Aunt Cui was also very happy to know that Gu Zheng's family had found them. Aunt Cui never thought that Gu Zheng's departure would bring any disaster to her. She spent the previous day looking for Gu Zheng and the two of them until night, and then waited at the door.
One night, I was afraid that they would not be able to find the house at night and they would not even have food to eat.
Knowing this, Gu Zheng felt even more regretful.
Gu Zheng is back, Aunt Cui is no longer worried, and life is gradually returning to peace. The difference is that there is Wu You in Aunt Cui's family. This Wu You is not a person who eats for nothing at home. Although he is not too tall, he is not very strong.
He is not small, and he is very dexterous with his craftsmanship. He has repaired some broken tools in the house.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Daxian was giving his sermon. Gu Zheng had to go regardless of whether he wanted to or not. He and Aunt Cui set off one day in advance. The place where Daxian was preaching was called Wudao Valley, which was a small valley. On the day of the sermon, everyone
All the children will be sent to the valley.
People who are not qualified cannot enter and can only watch from a distance outside the valley. It is not that no one has sneaked in, but the end is very miserable. After a few times, no one dares to do so.
However, after a period of time, when the lessons are not so clearly remembered, there will still be such people, but these have little to do with the ancient disputes. Aunt Cui took them out one day in advance. Before the day of the sermon, he and Tao had already arrived.
At the mouth of the valley, there is only one way to enter, and it is guarded by prestigious old men from several villages. They will let these children in again according to the list of when.
Those who came to listen to the sermon were all children under the age of twelve, and the minimum age limit was three. The ones in their teens were okay, and there were also many children aged three, four, and five years old. These children were not so obedient.
It takes a while to coax someone to get in. Some people can't be coaxed, so they can only be cruel and push in directly.
It is strange to say that as long as the children who actually enter the valley, no matter how old they are or how much they cried before, they will not cry again after entering. Then they will walk in honestly, find a seat, sit down by themselves, and wait for the sermon with peace of mind.
.
This is also regarded by everyone as a miracle of the Great Immortal, and they feel more at ease with the Great Immortal.
"Xiao Tie, go in and listen carefully. If you can be chosen by the Immortal, it will be your great fortune!"
Aunt Cui took Gu Zheng and others to the entrance of the valley. There were more than 230 children who came to the valley to listen to the sermon this time. Two of them failed to come. The families of these two children will be punished. What kind of punishment will they be?
The punishment can only be known after the great immortal has finished his sermon.
If Gu Zheng hadn't happened to hear about this incident on the road, I'm afraid one more person who would have been punished would have been Aunt Cui.
Outside the valley, he couldn't clearly see what was going on inside. After saying goodbye to Aunt Cui and Wu You, Gu Zheng took Tao's hand and entered the valley. He had already told Wu You to wait outside.
, if the restriction on him is not broken, it will break out on its own in a month, and there will be no solution at all, and he will be worse off than dead.
Having learned from previous lessons, I believe that Wu You would not dare to disobey him and would just wait outside honestly.
"Array?"
As soon as he entered the valley, Gu Zheng felt that a formation was running. The formation had a psychedelic effect. People who entered the formation would involuntarily follow the instructions of the person who set up the formation. At this time, the person who set up the formation would
The instructions were to be quiet and find a place to sit down.
In fact, this kind of formation is not popular, and it is not even considered an immortal formation. In the past, when Guzheng was in Emei on Earth, such a small formation could be set up without much effort.
Although it is a small and unpopular formation, it still has a great impact on the children. No wonder every child who comes in is so honest and is controlled by the formation.
It is good to control children with such a small formation, but it is not necessary. Real immortals have many ways to do it, and there is no need to bother setting up such a formation. There are many magic techniques that can be used, which are simple and convenient.
Pulling Tao, Gu Zheng casually found a seat and sat down. Soon, like other children, he looked forward.
There is a higher platform in front with a cushion on it. It seems to be the place where the great immortal preaches. But at this time, there are two people standing under the platform, two men in their fifties, and they are standing one by one.
He looked at the children who came in with a strange feeling in his eyes.
"Almost everyone is in!"
Half an hour later, one of the two men suddenly said something. These two men did not have any fluctuations in immortal power and looked like ordinary people.
"Probably, I'm counting. There are more than two hundred people this time. I should be able to pick out a few that satisfy the king!"
The other one continued, stretched out his fingers and started to count the children who were sitting down. Gu Zheng frowned slightly, "Your Majesty? There is a king behind these two people. Who is this king?"
But no matter what, the title "Great King" doesn't feel good to Gu Zheng. No immortal cultivator calls himself a Great King, except for the copycat king, which is very rare. However, some demon cultivators like others to call them "Great King". Among demon cultivators, they call themselves "Great King".
There are really too many of them.
But this is just Gu Zheng's own feeling, even he himself feels a little sensitive.
"The number is correct, but there are two missing. Hmph, if you dare not listen to the king, I will give them a severe lesson this time!"
The man quickly counted all the children and snorted coldly.
"Then let's get started!"
The man who spoke first carefully took out a box from behind, bowed first, and then slowly opened it. As soon as the box was opened, a burst of light came from inside. Just by looking at the light, Gu Zheng knew that there was a treasure in the box.
Still a good quality baby.
Soon, the man took out a round bead from it. The bead exuded a charming colorful halo. He carefully placed the bead on the cushion of the table.
Gu Zheng was a little shocked. Could it be that this bead is the so-called Great Immortal? But this is wrong. This is a bead, a very good bead, but it is just that. It is considered a treasure in the ancient world, but it has absolutely no intelligence. Let a person with no intelligence Isn’t it a joke to use pearls of wisdom to preach?
The man opened another small bottle, and a drop of red liquid dripped from it, and it dripped on the bead. As soon as the liquid touched the bead, the entire valley changed instantly. There seemed to be dragons and phoenixes flying in the sky, and there were other things around. Cranes and various flowers and birds are like a fairyland on earth.
Not only people inside the valley can see it, but people outside the valley can also see it.
The beads on the table disappeared, and instead an old man with a white beard and a fairy-like appearance appeared. People couldn't help but want to worship him when they saw him. He was completely like a fairy.
The children had never seen such a scene before, and they were all stunned.
"The Mirage Mirage, then this bead must be the Mirage Bead, that's it!"
Gu Zheng suddenly realized that all this was actually an illusion, but this illusion was so realistic that people inside and outside could see it. There were many people who knew about this illusion, but the illusion here had a dragon aura. , with dragon energy, only the mirage dragon can do it.
The mirage is a type of dragon and is famous for creating illusions. The powerful mirage creates illusions that even Daluo Jinxian cannot distinguish between true and false. However, this is not an illusion arranged by a real mirage. If it is a real mirage, even if it is not The powerful mirage dragon can also hide from the current ancient war, after all, the ancient war is very weak at this time.
This is just an illusion of a mirage, and it is the mirage ball on the stage that creates this illusion.
Dragons have Dragon Balls, and so do mirage dragons. This mirage dragon should have been killed, otherwise the dragon beads would not have ended up here. The red liquid that dropped before is the blood of the mirage dragon. The mirage dragon beads can also create illusions, but they must It can only be activated by the blood of the mirage. This illusion should have been prepared in the Dragon Ball in advance and then displayed using the blood of the mirage.
"Okay, we can make a good choice. Last time we chose twenty. The king was very satisfied and helped us extend our life for another twenty years. If we do it well this time, the king can help us extend our life for a few more decades!"
Two people walked down from the stage, both looking excited. They looked at each child carefully and pinched them from time to time.
Their words made Gu Zheng even more confused. The white-bearded old man on the stage just opened his mouth and made no sound. However, with the cooperation of the illusion, all the children could not see the two people, but they could hear what the immortal said. Talking about ethereal things.
They had no idea what he was talking about, and they couldn't understand it at all, but after they went out, they could publicize the wonders they saw.
"This is acceptable!"
A man quickly selected a child, picked him up, and brought him to the stage. This was a seven or eight-year-old boy with a confused look on his face. He probably only had eyes for the old immortal, and had no idea that he had been changed. Location.
Although this mirage illusion is not very good, it has no problem deceiving ordinary people, let alone these children.
"This is okay, two of them!"
"and this!"
The two people kept walking among the children. Whenever they found a suitable one, they screamed happily. After a while, they picked out a dozen children. At this time, only half of them were gone.
Half of the children they didn't observe.
"Both of these are good!"
Soon, a man walked up to Gu Zheng and Tao, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stretched out his hand to pinch Gu Zheng, and then pinched Tao, his face became even more excited.
"The best, the best, there are two of the best, the king will be very happy!"
After touching it for a few times, he turned around and shouted excitedly. His companion was alerted and immediately walked towards him. He turned his head and didn't notice at all. The two children he had just touched turned their heads together, their eyes
He was looking straight at him.
"Who is your king?"
Before his companions arrived, Gu Zheng asked suddenly. He just turned around and replied without thinking: "The king is the king, a very powerful king!"
As soon as he spoke, he was stunned for a moment and looked at Gu Zheng in shock. To be precise, he looked into Gu Zheng's eyes.
"You are talking to me, can you see me?"
After the Dragon Ball is activated, others cannot see them. But before, they were followers of the Immortal, so it doesn't matter if everyone sees them. That's why they are so bold. After the Dragon Ball is activated, they dare to say anything.
"Don't you think it's stupid to ask this? If I don't tell you, why don't I say it to the air?"
Gu Zheng stretched out his finger and pointed at the stage, where there was an old man with a white beard who was preaching non-stop, but what he said was all psychedelic sounds, which made people unable to understand at all. He only knew that someone was talking, but
I can't remember anything I said.
This is also the reason why people who went out later could not explain it clearly to others. Instead, they thought that they were not enlightened and did not have this opportunity. Little did they know that everyone had the same result after hearing it. There was no such thing as enlightenment at all.
"You, how could you see me? This shouldn't be the case!"
The man was a little flustered. At this time, his companion also arrived and looked at Gu Zheng with the same surprise.
"It shouldn't, it shouldn't, no one should see us!"
The man was still talking, but Gu Zheng was not talking nonsense at all. He suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.
The man was taken aback and hurriedly tried hard, but unfortunately he couldn't break free. Gu Zheng's hand suddenly loosened and his brows knit together tightly.
Just now he grabbed the man and used his immortal power to explore the man's body. He was just an ordinary person. It would be wrong to say that he was completely ordinary. He had developed some strength, but it was very weak, but it was stronger than ordinary people. His strength was equivalent to that of the inner
The initial stage of strength.
What surprised Gu Zheng was that his power was not immortal power, but demonic power.
As a person who has cultivated to the quasi-sage realm, he can distinguish between fairy power and demon power. This demon power is still very complicated, and he is indeed a human being. It is impossible for humans to cultivate demon power. It can only be said that there is a monster
Strength was forcibly injected into them, and then this power remained in the body.
"That king of yours is a monster?"
Gu Zheng asked suddenly, and the two of them were stunned again, with a little panic on their faces. The man coming from behind took out a knife from his body and stabbed Gu Zheng.
"Bump!"
His body flew out directly, and the knife he took out also fell into Gu Zheng's hand. It was a short knife, much better than the waist knives Du Gouzi and the others used before, but it was also ordinary iron, so it was not a treasure.
.
On the other hand, the mirage dragon ball on the table is a real treasure. Even the ancient disputes in the past will be a little interesting.
"You, who are you?"
"No matter who you are, if you offend our king, you will only die!"
The two people shouted there together. Gu Zheng walked over and hit a few restraints. The two people immediately rolled on the ground, howling in pain.
It's a pity that others can't see it under the illusion, so Gu Zheng doesn't have to worry about disturbing those children.
"Is your king a monster?"
Gu Zheng asked again. The two of them rolled on the ground and kept wailing. Gu Zheng's voice still entered their ears very clearly.
