The hatred of killing her son was irreconcilable. Even after Gu Cheng left Donglin County, she was still unwilling to give in. She even wanted to chase Gu Cheng to Nanyi County.
But the idea was killed before it even started.
Just after Bai Ziwei returned to Xuanwu Zhenzong, she was grounded by Yan Shaokuan, the leader of Xuanwu Zhenzong, and she was strictly ordered not to go out.
"Senior brother! My only son died tragically at the hands of others. Can't I take revenge even if I want to?"
Yan Shaokuan appeared to be in his forties and looked generous and steady. He sighed when he heard this:
"Junior sister, I am doing this for your own good.
Nanyi County is bigger than Donglin County. How are you going to find Gu Cheng? Maybe when you get to Nanyi County, the other party has already returned.
Moreover, the current situation in the entire Nanjiu County is not right. It is in chaos. Although your power is not weak and has reached the peak of the sixth level, if you rush in rashly, you might encounter something.
The most important thing is that you are the elder of our Xuanwu Zhenzong. Whatever you do when you go to the outside world represents our Xuanwu Zhenzong. How can I let you go in this state?
People cannot be resurrected after death. If you have a chance, Xuanwu Zhenzong will avenge you, but not now."
Bai Ziwei knew Yan Shaokuan's character. As long as he said no, it definitely couldn't be done, and there was no room for negotiation.
Returning to her courtyard with a gloomy look, Bai Ziwei suddenly shouted: "Lanxiang."
A young female disciple came over cautiously and said, "Master, what are your orders?"
Her master has a moody personality, so she has to be careful every time she encounters such a situation.
"Does our Xuanwu Zhenzong have a caravan in Guangning County, which is close to Nanyi County? Is the person in charge of the caravan still the deacon Duan Yuangong?"
Lan Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, Deacon Duan has been in charge of the caravan for a long time."
Nanjiu County is dotted with Daze mountains and forests. Although the climate is a bit harsh, 60% of the elixirs in the world are produced in Nanjiu County.
Instead of purchasing elixirs from others at high prices, it is better to organize a caravan to go to Nanjiu County to purchase them. The same is true for Xuanwu Zhenzong.
Bai Ziwei murmured to herself: "It will take nearly two months to get from here to Nanyi County non-stop. With my Xuanwu Zhenzong's secret message channel, one month will be enough to send the message to the caravan. It's enough time."
"
Bai Ziwei suddenly raised her head and said to Lan Xiang: "Use my Xuanwu Zhenzong's secret message channel to send a message to Duan Yuangong and ask him to find a way to intercept and kill Gu Cheng in Guangning County!"
Lan Xiang was slightly startled: "But Master, the sect leader has already banned you. He will not give you the sect's secret order to let you do this."
Bai Ziwei said calmly: "There is no need for a secret order from the sect, you just need to spread the news and put my name on it.
As long as it is my order, Duan Yuangong will definitely do it."
Lan Xiang walked out with a puzzled look on her face, and Bai Ziwei suddenly let out a long sigh.
Not only Duan Yuangong, there were many people in Xuanwu Zhenzong who were willing to sacrifice everything for her more than thirty years ago.
But she was arrogant and unwilling to choose those senior brothers in the sect who were not as powerful as herself. Instead, she chose that man, the man who made her regret her whole life.
"Now that your sons have been killed, are you still indifferent even though you are stumped?" Bai Ziwei looked to the west and murmured.
…………
When Bai Ziwei was frantically trying to take revenge on Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng had already run out of Donglin County and entered another county.
Moreover, he was also worried that Xuanwu Zhenzong would have pursuers, so the roads he chose were all big and small. Even he himself didn't know which road he was going to take next, let alone Xuanwu Zhenzong.
Fortunately, he found no trace of the pursuers behind him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and found an inn to take a rest and buy himself a batch of horses.
In the inn, Gu Cheng had time to take out the things Cui Zijie gave him and check them out.
Most of them are training elixirs that he can use at this stage, and there is actually a skill in them.
Gu Cheng opened it and saw that it was a Qigong practitioner's technique called "Xuan Yin Ling Fei Jing".
He had previously taken the Qi Refiner's Yin Meridian, but that technique could only be considered an entry-level exercise, which could ensure that the Qi could be absorbed into the body. Basically, he would reach the peak of Qi refining and spiritual cultivation.
Cui Zijie was also interested, so he helped Gu Cheng redeem the Xuanyin Spirit Flying Sutra, which was the same technique as the Yin Meridian Sutra, and also recorded some Xuanyin attributes in it.
However, its training conditions are a bit harsh. Gu Cheng read it over and realized that if he wanted to get started, he must find the Xuanyin Fire and refine it into a foundation. But what is this Xuanyin Fire?
Gu Cheng was not an orthodox Qi practitioner, so he didn't know much about the common sense of Qi practitioners.
He also hasn't used the golden pill that Qiu Liandong gave him before. It is said that it can improve the level of the black arm.
Gu Cheng is not worried that this thing is fake. What he practices is not the real art of cutting pulses and refining ghosts. To him, the black stiff arm is just a foreign object. If something goes wrong, he won't need it anymore.
Calling out the Black Zombie Arm, Gu Cheng will use his true energy to melt the golden pill and watch it slowly merge into the Black Zombie Arm.
The next moment, an extremely strange change occurred on Heizhuang's arm.
That arm seemed to come alive, it was constantly trembling, and filled with Yin Qi.
The black hair on it gradually receded, and the hair that grew back turned out to be slightly golden.
Moreover, the dark and thick arms before had swelled in size again, but the color turned extremely red, like blood, and purple veins appeared on the arms.
After the change was completely completed, Gu Cheng tried the power of the new black arm. It was much stronger than before. Moreover, Gu Cheng could also feel that the black arm should still have some effects, but he did not find it.
But the strange thing is that the Black Zombie Arm should not be called the Black Zombie Arm now. It has completely changed its color, but it does not match the level of the zombies.
White zombies, black zombies, purple zombies, flying zombies, non-bone zombies, demons, zombies of any level don't seem to have blood and golden hair.
There was also a box inside the package, which was Xiao Yi's relic that Zhao Jingming had given him before.
Gu Cheng sighed softly, opened the box, and was stunned when he saw the ugly scarecrow inside.
Cui Zijie came right after Zhao Jingming gave him the box, so he didn't look at it carefully.
Gu Cheng recognized this scarecrow. It was left by the woman from Lijia Village after she made a blood sacrifice to attract the mountain ghost. Xiao Yi put it away and said that he wanted to keep it as a memory. At that time, Gu Cheng also poured him a bowl of chicken soup.
But Xiao Yi died together with the walking corpses under the Heavenly Fire Demon Killing Talisman. This talisman was so overbearing that even the walking corpses could be burned to ashes, so how could a scarecrow be left behind?
Gu Cheng suddenly thought of something, carefully felt the power inside the scarecrow, and noticed a faint yin energy and ghost energy.
It is normal to have yin energy. After all, this scarecrow was once used as a carrier to attract mountain ghosts.
But having ghostly energy is not normal.
When the mountain ghost dissipates, normally only the yin energy will remain, not the ghost energy.
Gu Cheng had a guess in his mind. He immediately used the power in the black jade space. A black light shone out and enveloped the scarecrow. In an instant, the ghostly aura was absorbed into the black jade space.
In the black jade space, the ghostly aura suddenly turned into the appearance of Xiao Yi, but the body was hazy, belonging to the lowest level of ghosts.
Seeing Xiao Yi's appearance, Gu Cheng was still very surprised.
Although Xiao Yi is dead, he exists in another state.
At this time, Xiao Yi vaguely glanced at the completely dark scene in the black jade space, as well as the five little ghosts and Gu Cheng in front of him. He wondered: "Is this the underworld? But why are you here, Brother Gu?"
Did you? Could it be that you also died in the zombie demon battle?"
Gu Cheng thought carefully about his words and said: "This is not the underworld. To be more precise, it's just that you died. This place should be regarded as one of my magic weapons."
With that said, Gu Cheng recounted what happened after his death. As for the black jade space, he only said that it was a magic weapon he had obtained.
Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, then bowed deeply to Gu Cheng and said, "Brother Gu, thank you very much. Xiao Yi owes you my life."
But then Xiao Yi smiled bitterly and said: "But now I am already a dead person. Even if I want to pay back, I'm afraid I can't."
Gu Cheng suddenly thought of something at this time and asked Xiao Yi: "You regained consciousness immediately after being sucked into the space?"
Xiao Yi nodded and said: "Yes, actually I had some consciousness before, but it was hazy, as if I was sleeping. It wasn't until I was sucked in here that my body turned into a ghost."
Gu Cheng suddenly sneered, stretched out his hand, and the Wu Zang Taoist who had been staying in the corner and was treated as air was pulled to Gu Cheng's eyes.
"Old guy, are you playing tricks on me?"
Previously, the Five Zang Taoist and the Five Zang Temple Ghosts were sucked into the black jade space. At that time, the other party was so confused that Gu Cheng thought that the other party's Five Zang Temple Ghosts were gone, so his strength and consciousness had dissipated.
But now that he saw Xiao Yi, Gu Cheng realized that this old guy had been acting with him all along!
Xiao Yi can regain his consciousness even if he only has a trace of spiritual ghost energy left. There is no reason why Taoist Taoist Wu Zang will be confused all the time.
At this time, the Taoist priest of the five internal organs realized that he was exposed. He immediately knelt down in front of Gu Cheng and begged for mercy loudly: "Holy Lord, please forgive me! I have offended the Holy Lord because I am ignorant of Mount Tai. As long as the Holy Lord can spare my life."
Fate, even if the villain becomes a ghost, he is still willing to work as a cow or a horse for the Holy Lord!"
