Zuo Yunzhi was in Gu Cheng's scabbard, feeling the scene outside. He sighed and said, "I have been sleeping for five hundred years, and when I wake up, the world has changed."
Gu Cheng's spiritual power penetrated the scabbard and said calmly: "Stop sighing here. Have you ever felt anything about the world after dawn?"
Zuo Yunzhi said: "It's strange, it's exactly the same as the night."
Gu Cheng was slightly stunned. During the day, it was a peaceful and peaceful peach blossom land, and at night, it was a scary ghost town where hundreds of ghosts roamed at night. But now Zuo Yunzhi said that their auras were the same. This was the strangest thing.
"That Taoist priest was a breakthrough. In short, I only felt a different aura from that Taoist priest."
Gu Cheng nodded thoughtfully and went to join the others.
The place everyone agreed to meet was in front of the inn.
When Gu Cheng came there, everyone had already arrived. The Holy Son of Luo Jiao looked at Lin Xiangu's chewed-up body with red eyes.
It is said that a couple stays together overnight. Although these two have been hooking up for who knows how long, they actually have no feelings at all.
The way the Holy Son of Luo Jiao looks now is just pure anger.
Now that Lin Xiangu is dead, he will really be fighting alone here.
Gu Cheng and him are mortal enemies, Ye Hongxiu and him are competitors, and although the White Lotus Sect and his Luo Sect are both one of the three major cults, they are inseparable in appearance.
So after calculation, he is actually the weakest one among them.
Although Yin Tiancheng from the White Lotus Sect also died, Chu Zhaoyun was strong.
"Gu Cheng! Is Lin Xiangu's death related to you?"
The Holy Son of Luo Jiao glared at Gu Cheng and threw the blame directly on him.
In fact, the Holy Son of Luo Jiao was not sure how Lin Xiangu died.
After being chewed by so many ghosts, the entire body was completely changed beyond recognition, and no traces could be seen at all.
It’s just that the Holy Son of Luo Jiao couldn’t believe that someone weaker than Lin Xiangu survived. Lin Xiangu, who had already reached the fourth level, would actually die here.
He was just biting randomly at this time, but unexpectedly he guessed it right.
Gu Cheng said calmly: "What evidence does Your Highness, the Holy Son, have to prove that Lin Xiangu's death is related to me?
You must know that this place is so dangerous and strange. Yin Tiancheng was stronger. Didn't he die here because of his disorder?
Women are very curious. Maybe she was killed because she moved something randomly?
You are just making nonsense without evidence, Your Highness the Holy Son, you need to change your habit of biting people."
Hearing this, Ye Hongxiu couldn't help but glare at Gu Cheng. His map shots were a bit too big.
When the Holy Son of Luo Jiao over there heard Gu Cheng calling him a mad dog, he immediately snorted coldly, and his whole body bloomed with aura.
Mu Suifeng hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, the Holy Son, calm down and calm down. If you have any remaining energy, it is better to save it for the night to deal with those ghosts.
I don’t want Captain Lin to die. After all, I invited him here.
However, there are always risks in exploring such secret places, so His Royal Highness, the Son of God, please bear with me and be patient."
The Holy Son of Luo Jiao didn't really want to fall out with Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng himself was not sure, and at this time, Gu Cheng also had Zi Che You by his side, so he would definitely lose if he turned against him.
So Mu Suifeng gave him a step down, and he snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Zuo Yunzhi, who was in the scabbard of his sword, shook his head and sighed: "Is the saint son of our Luo Jiao generation such a virtuous person?
Five hundred years have passed, why are you going back more and more?
This guy's talent and strength are only average, not even as good as the girl over there.
He has no brains in what he says and does. If a guy of this level becomes the leader of the Luo Sect in the future, he will probably be beaten to death by those big sects!
Gu Cheng, if you want to kill him, I won’t stop you. It’s best to kill him quickly so as not to let him ruin the reputation of our Luo Jiao!”
Cults like the Luo Jiao actually have very weak sectarian ties. People gather together for the most benefit, while the middle and lower classes are controlled by faith.
That's why Zuo Yunzhi is unwilling to return to Luo Jiao, because if he returns to Luo Jiao in this state, except for some members of the middle and lower classes who have heard his legends, no one in the middle and upper classes will welcome an ancestor back.
.
So at this time, Zuo Yunzhi didn't look at the Holy Son of Luo Jiao as kindly as he looked at his younger generation. Instead, he felt that the other person was too useless and was embarrassing to himself and Luo Jiao.
Gu Cheng didn't pay attention to Zuo Yunzhi, but asked Mu Suifeng, "Did you meet that Taoist Zixiao yesterday?"
Mu Suifeng nodded and said, "We really met each other.
This time I couldn't find a bright place for a while and was trapped. Once again, Priest Zixiao went out to help me get rid of the ghosts and led me to a bright place.
Mr. Gu, don't you suspect that there is something wrong with Taoist Priest Zixiao?
If the other party has a problem, let alone planning to deal with us, he can just sit back and watch, and it will be very difficult for us on the first night if we don't know the rules."
Gu Cheng shook his head and said: "I'm not saying he has a problem, but everyone in Taoyuan City has a problem, but the problem is that they never feel that they have a problem.
I seem to have found some clues, let’s check them out for now.”
Although what Gu Cheng said was like a tongue twister, Mu Suifeng seemed to understand what Gu Cheng meant.
The others had dispersed by now.
After experiencing this twice, everyone is familiar with Taoyuan City. There will be no problems here during the day, even if you kill people casually like Yin Tiancheng, you will be fine.
But at night, all danger and revenge will really come.
Therefore, the Holy Son of Luo Jiao and others were naturally unwilling to act together with Gu Cheng and the others, and instead went their separate ways to look for clues.
Gu Cheng came to the old innkeeper.
The other party was killed by Yin Tiancheng before, but now he is 'resurrected', or he was not dead in the first place.
"Old man, I want to ask you something. Who is in charge of Taoyuan City?"
The old shopkeeper said in surprise: "Who is in charge? No one is in charge of Taoyuan City."
"Oh? No officials or anything?"
The old shopkeeper shook his head and said: "Of course not. I have already had enough of the oppression of those dog officials in the outside world, so how can I elect another dog official?"
"Then if you have any disputes on weekdays, no one will come to arbitrate them?"
"Everyone in Taoyuan City loves each other and there are no disputes."
Gu Cheng rubbed his head and asked in a different way: "So since there are no officials, are there any highly respected figures in Taoyuan City? Someone that everyone recognizes and respects?"
The old shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "That should be Master Hongde. Master Hongde has been here since the establishment of Taoyuan City, and he chants sutras and prays for us every day."
Monk? Taoist priest?
Gu Cheng's eyes showed a strange color, and he said to the old shopkeeper: "Where is this Master Hongde?"
"It's in the third Buddhist hall in the north of the city, but the master's Buddhist hall is very small, so you need to look carefully."
According to what the old shopkeeper said, Gu Cheng, Mu Suifeng and Zi Cheyou went directly to the north of the city and searched around a street twice before they saw the Buddhist temple.
It is indeed very small, just like an ordinary residential house, and there is no plaque. If it were not for some Sanskrit characters engraved in front of the door, Gu Cheng and others would not notice this place even if they walked several times.
Gu Cheng pushed open the door of the Buddhist hall, and an old monk with a white face and no beard was sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking at Gu Cheng and others indifferently, as if he was not surprised at all.
At this time, Zuo Yunzhi, who was hidden in the scabbard, immediately said: "This is the kind of aura! This monk has the same aura as the Taoist priest in the night, an aura that is incompatible with this world!"
Gu Cheng's expression remained unchanged, he put his hands together in a salute and said, "I have met Master Hongde."
Master Hongde looked at Gu Cheng, smiled and said, "The donor has practiced Buddhism and has wisdom."
Gu Cheng shook his head and said, "Although I practice Buddhism, I still kill people and set fires."
Master Hongde smiled and said: "But there is nothing in Buddhism that prevents people from killing people and setting fires. Buddha also has the wrath of King Kong."
After Zuo Yunzhi's confirmation, Gu Cheng also believed that this monk should be a special existence in the Peach Blossom Spring just like Taoist Zixiao.
So Gu Cheng didn't bother to fight with him and said directly: "Master Hongde, I'm here today to find a way out."
Master Hongde was surprised and said: "Why do you want to go out? There is no great fear between life and death here, and there is no evil of greed, anger, and ignorance. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a real paradise."
"It is paradise without life and death? But why do I feel that people outside are living like zombies? They have lived for thousands of years, what is the difference between living for one day?"
"You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?"
"This is what Daomen said."
Master Hongde smiled and said: "There is no dispute over faith in the Peach Blossom Spring. No matter who says it, it's the same."
At this time, Mu Suifeng spoke from the side and said, "Master Gu, this monk seems to know a lot of things. How about trying to pry his mouth open?"
Gu Cheng shook his head slightly: "It's best not to use force before the shutdown time, otherwise no one knows what accidents may occur."
At this moment, darkness fell suddenly again, and Master Hongde almost disappeared before Gu Cheng's eyes.
But the moment Master Hongde disappeared, Gu Cheng suddenly raised his head, and he seemed to have noticed something.
When darkness fell completely, Zuo Yunzhi chuckled and said, "Gu Cheng, boy, you feel it too, right? I said there must be something wrong with this old monk."
Gu Cheng nodded, then shook his head and said: "To be precise, only Taoist Zixiao and Master Hongde have no problem here. The problem is the whole world."
Gu Cheng stood up and said to Zi Cheyou and Mu Suifeng beside him: "You two, I seem to have found a way to leave this world. Let's get together and discuss it tomorrow."
Mu Suifeng quickly asked: "What can I do?"
Gu Cheng shook his head and said: "I'll tell you tomorrow when everyone is here. This is just a guess on my part, and I can't guarantee that I can leave here 100%.
For the time being, let’s go find a bright place and avoid these ghosts.”
