Chapter 1199
The further east you go, the scenery becomes better, no longer so depressing and lifeless.
Some high platforms, pavilions, corridors and flower bridges gradually appeared next to it. They were obviously different from the previous ones. This was the scenery of the palace. Although no one took care of it and it was a lot dilapidated, you could still get a glimpse of the former splendor.
And Xiangxiang did not run as recklessly as she did at the beginning. She carefully warned her surroundings and specifically moved forward in the attic of the building to hide their figures.
After a little while, Xiangxiang took him to the bottom of a roof, pointed to the opposite side and whispered: "The last thing is up there. It is a very rare fruit, a green and purple sea snake fruit."
At this time, they were still some distance away from there. It was a four-story, four-cornered pagoda, about ten feet high. Four large red lanterns were hung on the four corners, emitting a hazy light. Ancient Zhengzi looked around but found that his mind was loosening. He was shocked and quickly opened his eyes.
There are various defensive formations engraved on the tower body to increase and strengthen the defense of the tower body. From time to time, a ray of light flashes out, making the pagoda look mysterious.
There are four teams on both sides surrounding the tower. Each pair of two people is always vigilant. Moreover, when they were observing Gu Zheng, there were two teams patrolling outside, going back and forth, patrolling alternately. Obviously It's taken very seriously here.
After looking at it for a long time, Gu Zheng looked away. There were no buildings around the pagoda, and it was so tightly guarded that it simply eliminated all ways to get in.
Gu Zheng does not believe that this is the only protection, because the strength of those people are all below the level of immortals. If Gu Zheng can force his way in by himself, there must be hidden masters nearby, waiting for those who think they are right. The fool fell for it.
"Isn't it a bit difficult, but that thing is indispensable, and there is basically no substitute for it outside." Xiangxiang looked at Gu Zheng pitifully.
"It's just to get something. Don't worry, it will definitely work. Let me think about it." Gu Zheng bit the bullet and agreed first. His greatest confidence was that the opponent's strength was low, as long as he did not alert the hidden master.
After comforting Xiangxiang for a while, Gu Zheng began to think hard about how to temporarily remove the hidden master. Gu Zheng was sure that the other party was also staring there all the time.
After thinking for a long time, the frown on Gu Zheng's face finally faded, and he muttered a few times to Xiangxiang. Xiangxiang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he kept nodding, and then the two of them stepped back and left.
In the building closest to the pagoda, a big man in green robes and a young man in white robes were sitting next to a window, staring at the pagoda.
"I said Commander Wang has been out for a while, why hasn't he come back yet?" The man in green robe suddenly said.
"Who knows, but I heard that he tried to get a token of the Yaoguang Realm. Did he go to find out the information in advance?" the young man said later.
"It's not impossible. He is putting all his wealth this time in order to break through his realm, but it is true that his strength is the lowest among us."
Although the two of them were talking, their eyes did not move. They looked at the pagoda for a while, without even the intention of turning their heads to look at each other, and spoke to the air.
"Hehe, the main reason is that he is highly valued by the adults. Otherwise, why would the position of commander be left to him, while we have to be guarded here for thousands of years." The voice of the big man in green robes was full of dissatisfaction.
"What's the use of talking about this? Everyone has to take turns and no one can escape. Why don't you say that Commander Wang doesn't even have a chance to go ashore. He can only sneak out to guard this place. It's not as good as us." The young man said softly. He breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his sitting posture, and continued.
"Besides, what's not good about this place is that it can cultivate one's moral character and the environment is very good. If you have something to do up there and just stay at home, why not stay here? It's just too monotonous."
The big man in green robe nodded without comment and said nothing more. He just looked at the pagoda with his eyes. There were many rare and rare objects in it, all of which were brought up as tribute from the nearby sea area.
If I can get one-tenth of it, it will be enough for me to move up to a small level, but I can only think about it. Everything in it will be transported back to the East China Sea, and no one dares to touch it.
However, he didn't care about the adults' caution. This was the territory of the East China Sea. Although it was a little remote and not as luxurious as other wealthy areas, whoever had the courage to come here to look for trouble would be drowned by countless Donghai tribesmen.
And since the adults have taken away most of the elites, Commander Wang has sent out all the little soldiers to patrol. There are people guarding the area all day long. In addition, there is a warning formation on the outermost edge, so no one can sneak in here.
Of course, he would not say these words to anyone, they were just his own complaints. He had already spent nine hundred and ninety years here. In another ten years, someone would naturally replace him, and he would have tens of thousands of years left. .
Even if he was soaking in the city every day, it would be better than doing nothing here. He moved his head a little and looked at the other party looking at the pagoda seriously, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.
It seems that he is so serious, but in fact, his mind has been wandering away for a long time, and he doesn't know what he is thinking. He only leaves a trace of consciousness here to observe, too
She cheated and cheated.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a strong vibration from the ground, as if something exploded in the distance. The two people shuddered and came out of the room in an instant, standing on the roof.
"Hua La"
Everyone on the pagoda side took action. Every other step, someone stood there, looking around with wide eyes, fearing that someone would take the opportunity to break into the pagoda.
And there were many patrolmen who were resting around. Soon, hundreds of people surrounded the pagoda, and no flies could fly in.
A figure came from the pagoda at a high speed and said to the green-robed man on top: "Report to the adults, a burst of black light suddenly burst out in the distance just now, and it seems to be coming from the restricted area."
When the black-robed man heard it, he knew that someone must have entered here silently and ran over there.
They were not qualified to enter there, nor were they allowed to enter there, so they could only come to report it first.
"Stupid, go back and pick a few people and go over there with me to check. What broken rules are you still following at this time?" The young man shouted directly.
The sound was so loud that even the pagoda heard his roar. Several captain-like people hurried over with their men.
"Go quickly, I'll guard here." The green-robed man said, giving him a reassurance.
After that, the black-robed man flew directly towards the pagoda, landed directly at the door of the pagoda, sat there, and his body emitted a faint golden light, directly covering the door to ensure that no one else would sneak through.
The young man led a dozen people to rush towards the forbidden area.
In the past tens of thousands of years, there have been some desperate people who want to sneak in, but without exception, most of them were blocked outside. Even if some weird things bypassed the patrol team and traps, they were blocked by this warning formation.
Without a special token, you can't pass through here. It seems that someone seems to have cracked the peripheral detection through unknown means. It is really a very serious problem.
If the other party hides, they can't find it here, but it will be very disadvantageous for them. You know, although this place has been abandoned, you can't let the other party destroy it so easily. This is simply a slap in their face.
With their rapid journey, they arrived at the door of the black hall in just one stick of incense. At this time, it was the only protected place here, and also the only valuable place.
The young man was stunned. The vortex mist at the main gate was intact, without any signs of violent destruction. It seemed that the explosion came from nearby.
"Sir, there are traces of people around. It is estimated that two people appeared here." Their men certainly would not stand there and do nothing. They soon found traces of Gu Zheng and others. After all, they did not hide.
After listening, the young man took out a token-shaped object from his arms. A blue light flew out from it and landed at the vortex.
The vortex flashed with light and suddenly expanded into a circle, which could allow several people to enter and exit at the same time.
The young man and several people immediately rushed into the hall. The furnishings in the hall were very simple. There was nothing around except some messy things and shelves. You could see the end here at a glance.
There was no one here, and there were only a few scattered footprints on the smooth ground.
"No one, has the other party escaped?" The young man said to himself, sweeping back and forth in the corners of the hall in disbelief.
Because there was a little empty on the surrounding shelves, it can be seen that someone had come in and taken some things not long after they were taken away.
Although there was nothing too precious in it, the other party could actually come in and out quietly, which was a very serious problem.
"Search for me, they will definitely leave some clues." The young man squeezed out a cold order from his mouth. If they were not found as soon as possible, it would be bad if they caused other damage.
Thinking of the horror of Lord Lei, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart. After scanning the hall with his spiritual sense again, he confirmed that there was no one. The young man re-sealed the hall and led everyone to start tracking.
In a house away from the four-sided pagoda, two figures emerged from it. Watching two people emerge from the house in the distance, another person left.
Gu Zheng shook his hand. It seemed that he had successfully led the other party out of the dark, but it was a pity that the other party was too careful and only left one person. The other person was so crazy that he blocked the door.
However, all this was within Gu Zheng's expectations. Gu Zheng signaled to the school to start his plan. When he saw Xiangxiang nodded in understanding, he took out a black flying sword and quietly offered it above his head.
A distorted and blurred black light surged from the flying sword, directly submerging the two of them, and the two figures directly merged with the surroundings.
This flying sword can not only hide itself, but also hide the scenery around the user.
And Xiangxiang once again used her innate ability, a little bit of transparent light hidden around them, which can effectively prevent the exploration of the divine consciousness.
After doing all this, they floated up and flew over from behind the pagoda.
Although those vigilant people looked around, their divine consciousness was constantly scanning 360 degrees, without missing any corners, but no one noticed that there was an unusual thing above their heads. Even if they looked over, they subconsciously ignored it as air.
Most people's cultivation is not high enough, and they cannot see through Gu Zheng's disguise with their naked eyes. The only person who can see through it blocks the door, but unfortunately his consciousness is completely blocked by Xiang Xiang's secret technique, and he cannot find the place at all.
Soon, Gu Zheng and the other two floated to the side of the pagoda. At this time, the patterns on the pagoda all lit up, and a faint light leaked out. It seemed that the defensive formation was activated.
Gu Zheng was suspended in the air, muttering something in his mouth, and holding the dagger of Xiangxiang in his hand.
Gu Zheng suddenly sprayed a faint breath from his mouth, directly covering the dagger. The blue liquid on the dagger began to melt slowly, and a blue liquid was drawn out by Gu Zheng.
The ball of liquid was like a naughty elf, wandering outside mischievously for a while, and then pounced directly on the window on the first floor in front of him, and instantly merged into it.
Gu Zheng felt the speed of consumption of the immortal energy in his body and waited patiently.
Not too long after climbing up, a faint blue line suddenly appeared on the edge of the window, and began to wander along the edge. A half-person-high circle appeared there, and the circle was still the prohibition of the tower itself, but it was a little dim at this time.
It seemed to be still there, but in fact it had lost all its defensive functions.
The window without the ban was like nothing, and Gu Zheng and Xiang Xiang immediately disappeared into the window.
As Gu Zheng's dagger glowed again, the blue circle of light flashed a few times and immediately left there. The ban outside the pagoda was immediately restored, and it was not obvious that someone had entered from here.
All this happened between lightning stones. Such a short and inconspicuous situation did not attract anyone's attention.
Gu Zheng entered from the second floor, and as soon as he entered, he came to a brightly lit hall.
The hall did not look big, basically there were individual wooden racks with some exquisite jade porcelain bottles on them, and a layer of white light ban was shrouded outside. There was a staircase going up and down in the corner.
"These are not very important things." Xiangxiang transmitted the message to Gu Zheng, "The first floor has some larger things, some unique weapons and magic treasures are placed there, but there are no good things."
"The third floor has some relatively unique things, but they are very rare and not very valuable. Our main goal is the fourth floor, where the real good things are placed."
Hearing this, Gu Zheng shifted his sight away from the shelves. At this time, they were still in a state of just entering, in order to prevent people from outside from suddenly coming in.
What Gu Zheng didn't expect was that there were also restrictions on the stairs, and it seemed that going up was stronger than going down.
Gu Zheng came to the front of the stairs and took out Xiangxiang's dagger again. The green liquid on it was really good stuff. I don't know where I can get these things.
It's a pity that Gu Zheng asked, but she got it by chance, and she didn't know what it was. She only knew that it could assimilate many restrictions, allowing her to run around without causing fluctuations.
Gu Zheng followed the same method, and waited until a hole was assimilated on the upper stairs, and then rushed up quickly with Xiangxiang.
As soon as he went up the stairs, he obviously felt that the space around him was much smaller, but Gu Zheng didn't dare to breathe when he stood at the door.
At this time, the hall was empty, forming a concave shape, and in the middle of the front, there were actually two crab-like guys sleeping, lying directly in the middle of the hall.
The noisy sound outside did not disturb them, and their volume here had already occupied more than half of the space.
The red body looked extremely hard, and a pair of huge claws were casually placed on the ground. Some bubbles with fishy wind kept spitting out of the mouth, revealing the sharp teeth.
The tentacles around the mouth fluttered in the wind, occupying some of the already narrow space, almost filling the space on both sides.
The deep and sea-like breath on the body told Gu Zheng that these were two crabs at the peak of the celestial fairy, and they seemed to be the same species as the previous small crabs, but their strength was a world of difference.
Gu Zheng just took a look and hurriedly moved his eyes away, fearing that he would arouse the other party's vigilance.
Xiangxiang didn't even look at the other person. After feeling the vast breath in the air, she closed her eyes.
Behind the two of them, there was a marble-patterned stone door.
I didn't expect that there were two such powerful spirit beasts here, which were stronger than the guards outside. It seems that there are really good things there, otherwise it wouldn't be so strict.
"What should I do? I remember that they were always placed outside before, without the two spirit beasts here to guard them." Xiangxiang said in a voice transmission.
Gu Zheng felt some of her anxiety and patted her back gently, "It's okay, be careful, just bypass them."
At this time, Gu Zheng was so glad that he was still in stealth mode, otherwise he would be discovered by the other party as soon as he came up.
He couldn't make any noise to alarm them, otherwise once they woke up, they would really have nowhere to hide.
Gu Zheng gently held Xiangxiang, and moved his feet little by little, slowly leaning against the wall, and began to walk over with his back directly against the wall.
Tentacles wandered back and forth aimlessly beside him. Gu Zheng sometimes had to wait for a while to find a suitable opportunity to slip through the narrow gap.
After a while, Gu Zheng's face was covered with cold sweat, but he didn't dare to wipe it off because he was holding Xiang Xiang in his arms. Xiang Xiang buried her head tightly in his arms and didn't dare to look. He couldn't free his hands.
Don't look at the short distance. If it were normal, he could shuttle back and forth dozens of times in a blink of an eye, but now he only walked half of the distance.
Now Gu Zheng was stuck in the middle and couldn't move forward or backward. He didn't know why he was too close to the other party, and the frequency of the other party's tentacles waving became faster and faster.
Except for the place where I am now, there are some gaps. Other places are simply the dancing range of tentacles, and I can't get through.
