Chapter 1273

No wonder I always felt something was wrong, it turned out to be here.

How could such an old sect only have these people? Even if many disciples have gone down the mountain, where are the people of the Great Snow Mountain itself, and there must be new disciples of the Snow Mountain who have entered the Heavenly Immortal over the years.

Gu Zheng didn't believe it. It was probably just a simple scene outside. It was a place specially prepared for these new disciples or those with low cultivation.

So, if there is still a hidden place, it is probably the hall at the top.

Because it is the only building that is close to the mountain, and the hall is several times larger than usual. Gu Zheng thought it was just for the convenience of teaching, but now he thought that there is no need to expand it for dozens of people, and it can accommodate hundreds of people.

Thinking of this, Gu Zheng waited quietly, waiting for the elders stationed inside to leave, so that he would have a chance to sneak over.

He didn't want to be the enemy of that mysterious organization, so it was better to keep a low profile.

But for half a month, the elder seemed to live there and never came out. Only once every three days would the disciples gather together to go in for a class.

At other times, they were allowed to move freely as if they were free-range.

Just when Gu Zheng couldn't help wanting to go in and take a look, a Snow Mountain disciple hurried up from below. Seeing that the other person looked tired, it seemed that there was something important.

Gu Zheng watched him go in and waited for a while, and then suddenly, in his perception, the elder stationed there and his breath disappeared from there.

Good opportunity!

Gu Zheng had been patiently waiting for several days, and saw this figure quickly and silently flying in from outside.

The whole hall was not as empty as Gu Zheng imagined. On both sides of the whole hall, there were nine stone statues of humans, and their heads were close to the roof. In the middle, there was a larger golden statue, which was meditating majestically. It seemed that he should be the founder of the Great Snow Mountain.

There was a brown wooden table below, where some things were placed. Three faint incense candles were burning, and a wisp of smoke with Zen incense was rising. Dozens of cushions were placed regularly below.

The things inside were in full view, but Gu Zheng did not find any secret doors or the like, which were well hidden.

However, the other party had just left not long ago. Gu Zheng followed the other party's breath behind the huge statue, looking at the flawless edge, Gu Zheng sneered.

Although he didn't know the specific way to enter, as long as he was sure that there was a mystery behind it, it was not a matter of time to find it out.

And he didn't hear any extra noise outside, so it was very likely that the switch was nearby.

Sure enough, after a period of careful exploration, he finally found the switch under the wooden table.

As the switch was activated, a hole opened quietly from the edge, and Gu Zheng walked in without hesitation.

As soon as he entered, a heavy pressure pressed on his body from all sides. A layer of light flashed on Gu Zheng's body, and the pressure disappeared.

However, if one does not have the strength of a celestial being or above, an ordinary fifth-level person who comes here cannot move at all and can only be pressed to the ground. If an ordinary person has no cultivation, he can be crushed into meat paste by this pressure.

Every other distance inside, there is a fist-sized night pearl embedded on it, illuminating this small passage.

Following the crooked passage, Gu Zheng kept walking upwards. After half an hour of dawdling and hurrying to avoid colliding with the two people in front, he finally walked out of this passage.

He appeared in a new place. Gu Zheng quickly glanced at it, then dodged the edge of the cave and came behind a larger stone wall around it.

This place should be the edge of the high peak of this mountain. A relatively large open space has been opened up. The entire semicircle is white. The whistling cold wind is hanging outside crazily, and snowflakes as big as raindrops are always falling in the sky.

The scattered buildings are not far in front, all of which are white. At the extreme back, there is a faint blue lake wave, in which more than 20 celestial beings and hundreds of ordinary people are mixed.

But Gu Zheng frowned, because there was no trace of Xue'er among these hundreds of people.

Perhaps the people here have become accustomed to no invasion, and the entire defense is not as good as below, so Gu Zheng is much bolder. He is about to continue moving forward, but the immortal before him is rushing back, and seems to have escorted the person and turned back to the cave.

Gu Zheng looked at the white token on the other party's waist, gently stretched out his hand, and took it down by remote control at the moment when the other party entered the cave and turned on the defense, and also created a very realistic phantom that was almost indistinguishable from this one. Even the weight was considered by Gu Zheng to ensure that the other party would not take it and could not tell it apart at all.

Next, Gu Zheng changed his body and changed into the same clothes as the elder, but there were a few more golden threads on the white, and he made his face a little older, looking like a middle-aged man in his forties, and walked in swaggeringly.

Even here, some people are needed to take care of it, so many servants were seen along the way, even if the servants were at least second-level strength, sweeping some snow.

When everyone saw Gu Zheng, they would lower their heads slightly and stop what they were doing, and would not continue working until Gu Zheng was far away.

Gu Zheng followed the breath and came to a more remote house, where the Snow Mountain disciple was reporting some situations.

Unfortunately, there was a barrier blocking the outside, so Gu Zheng had no idea what he was talking about.

However, Gu Zheng had a way. When the other party finished speaking and was about to come out, Gu Zheng went to a nearby place to hide.

The disciple pushed the door and walked out first, heading towards the place where the nearby disciples lived. He also had a room here, and he was just going to rest for a while after reporting the task.

But when he just turned the corner, an elder happened to appear in front of him and happened to be walking there. He was caught off guard and bumped into Gu Zheng directly.

"I'm sorry, elder, I'm sorry." The disciple hurriedly bowed his head and apologized.

"It's okay, I just happened to walk here, you get up, and go back quickly." The disciple heard the kind elder say so, and then felt the other party's hands lifting his shoulders. The disciple was in a trance, and then he woke up with a start.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, elder." The Snow Mountain disciple said gratefully, and quickly bowed again, walked around from the side and walked towards his room.

When he returned to his room, he suddenly thought that he seemed to have bumped into someone on the road, but he couldn't remember who he bumped into, or it was just his own illusion.

No matter what, the Snow Mountain disciple decided to rest first, after all, he was very tired after traveling for more than ten days.

Gu Zheng watched him leave, but he had already got the news he wanted. Gu Zheng used a secret method that could forcibly read the memory of people with low cultivation and back it up.

However, it was too harmful to the harmony of heaven, and it could only deal with very weak people. If he was not sure to stand with the demon clan, Gu Zheng would definitely not use such an evil thing.

To deal with such a weak person, the moment Gu Zheng came into contact with him, he quickly browsed everything in his heart, and remembered everything he knew from childhood to now.

The other party turned out to be an undercover of the demon clan, who had been successfully brainwashed by people here since childhood. The thing just reported was Zhao Man's matter some time ago. It seems that Zhao Man was invited to the Xu family in Fengcheng after defeating the other party.

And that elder was a demon clan himself. The original person had long died, and Li Dai Tao Jiang replaced him. Although he only knew this elder in his memory, Gu Zheng was sure that there must be other demon clans lurking in with so many people, and there were also many humans who were brainwashed by them.

Who made the founder go out tens of thousands of years ago and has not come back yet? Judging from the spiritual seal left behind, at least he is still alive.

Otherwise, no matter how bold the demon clan is, they dare not lurk in openly.

But Gu Zheng is not interested in this for the time being. Although she also wants to catch all these monsters, she does not have the batch of old monsters that Bei Chen mentioned in her memory, and the main thing now is to rescue Xiangxiang.

It seems that he really did wrong Lan Xing, because what he said was true, because Xue'er was indeed imprisoned here, because Xue'er was caught by the people of the Snow Mountain.

The place of imprisonment was in the lake behind, and Gu Zheng quickly rushed to the back.

Behind this building, at the end of another direction, there is a huge blue lake, in which the water is the ten thousand year old snow from the top of the founder, which is introduced drop by drop from a natural crack to the bottom, and it has taken tens of thousands of years to reach such a scale.

And except for specific people, no one is allowed to approach the lake behind. Even if the immortals touch it accidentally, they will freeze into a ball of ice, and those disciples will break into pieces if they touch it.

Even in normal times, there will be a few people guarding here. In the past, there were always arrogant and fearless people who wanted to try it every year, but without exception, they all became a wisp of wronged souls and died.

In order to prevent this situation, a magic circle was set up later, which prevented those disciples from sneaking down.

Only the token of the elder can open it. Because of the special nature of their skills, sometimes they need to lead them down to do some tempering, because there is a small secret realm below.

"Elder!" When Gu Zheng went over, several disciples stationed nearby shouted and made way for the only passage. Next to it was a wall built a long time ago, which proved to be of little use.

Gu Zheng did not say a word, took out the token from his back and input mana into it. A layer of faint white light enveloped himself. After passing through the invisible restriction, Gu Zheng came to the lake.

In fact, Gu Zheng saw from a long distance that the entire lake was surrounded by dense ice grass, but when he came here, Gu Zheng found that he didn't know how to enter the secret realm below.

In the memory of the Snow Mountain disciple, although he had entered, the elder who led them had to release a spell to open the passage.

If Gu Zheng jumped down so stupidly, he would not be able to find the entrance even if he turned the sky upside down.

Gu Zheng knew this before, but he held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that his realm was too high. If he could capture the fluctuations at the entrance to the secret realm, he would be spared a lot of trouble.

Unfortunately, Gu Zheng regretfully discovered that he had taken it for granted. His spiritual sense could not even penetrate ten feet below the water surface, let alone find the entrance to the secret realm.

Gu Zheng looked at the bottom of the lake, which was so deep that he could not see it, and did not even think about going down there himself. If he wanted to search all the way here for a day, even if he could withstand the ice, it would take at least a month to complete.

So Gu Zheng pretended to take away two ice grasses and left here again, and the people guarding here did not suspect anything.

According to the memory Gu Zheng got from that disciple, in less than a week, another group of elite disciples would go to the bottom of the lake for training, and Gu Zheng was ready to hide and wait until then to blend in.

On the other side, when the immortal stolen by Gu Zheng was meditating in the hall, suddenly two statues suddenly opened their eyes, trembled, and shrank rapidly, turning into two normal humans, and they each took out a huge statue and replaced them.

If you look closely, these two statues are slightly different from their transformed forms, and they feel more suitable here.

Such a big commotion certainly startled the immortals here.

But he was not surprised, but stayed quietly aside and watched them complete all this.

"Left Protector, Right Protector, what's going on?" The immortal asked respectfully standing aside.

"The person hiding behind that witch has come out. He just sneaked in behind you and took your badge away." One of the left protectors said with a green face.

The other right protector began to wave his hands constantly, and stars kept appearing from the sky, eliminating the traces left by the two of them.

"What!" The immortal was shocked and touched back. Sure enough, he touched only an illusion. Although he felt that there was something, it was actually empty.

"Left Protector, is there really someone?" The immortal said in disbelief. He himself did not notice anything. If the other party wanted to put him to death, thinking of this, he was sweating profusely.

The green-faced left guardian quickly took out some things and said, "Of course, but don't make it public. We originally planned to be here this time. We have already set up a trap for him and are waiting for him to come."

Soon, the two guardians changed into two sets of clothes for the inner disciples of Snow Mountain, but the pattern on the chest became a blue three-bar pattern, representing a disciple with level three authority.

The two simply decorated their faces, and as soon as the aura of the whole body was restrained, they became disciples of Snow Mountain. Even the rings on their hands were exactly the same, and no details were missed.

"Okay, you still pretend that nothing happened next, and don't tell others about the loss of your token. Everything will be told when we come back." The right guardian instructed.

"Yes, sir." After the immortal helped them open the passage, the two guardians quickly flew inside, and waited until the wall returned to its original state, still guarding the place, as if nothing had happened.

Soon a few days passed, and the snow in the sky was still falling. With the appearance of the elders here, more than 20 elite Snow Mountain disciples came out of their rooms. According to their courses, it was their turn to go to the Blue Lake to refine their bodies.

But in a room, a Snow Mountain disciple was about to go out, and suddenly a figure appeared beside him. Before he could make a sound, his eyes went black and he fainted.

Gu Zheng stood behind him and smiled. These Snow Mountain disciples were treated well. Each of them had a small house. There were only more than a hundred people in total, but there were twice as many people taking care of them. It seemed that not only were they talented, but they also lived a very comfortable life.

However, this was a bargain for Gu Zheng. After locking a slower Snow Mountain disciple, he directly confused the other party. After ensuring that the other party could not wake up within seven days, he put him on the bed, and Gu Zheng turned into his face and hurried out.

When Gu Zheng arrived, almost all the people had gathered and were waiting for him.

Gu Zheng saw everyone looking at him with strange eyes, but he didn't care. He hurried to the end and waited for his teacher to lead the way.

On the snowy mountain, an elder led the students for nearly ten years at a time, with an average of two students per year. If they performed poorly, they might be persuaded to drop out, so everyone worked very hard.

"What's the matter? Cheng Yi, although he is usually slow, why is he so slow this time? Even the teacher almost got angry." A person who seemed to be his friend said next to him.

"Something happened, otherwise it wouldn't be like this." Gu Zheng didn't know the other person's name, and said vaguely.

"Is that so? Try not to be late next time. The teacher doesn't like this." The man advised again and stopped talking.

A team of people moved towards the direction of the Blue Lake. Except for some movement at the beginning, no one spoke at other times, and soon arrived next to the Blue Lake.

It was not the first time for everyone to go down, so there was no curiosity, but Gu Zheng was different. He watched the teacher's movements with wide eyes, thinking about stealing from it, just in case he could use it.

Unfortunately, a unique frequency appeared in the air from the other side, accompanied by the dazzling gestures of the immortal, which made Gu Zheng give up his plan.

After the teacher changed several gestures in succession, a dazzling white light was emitted from his hand and entered the blue lake.

The white light had a strong penetrating power, and a white mark appeared below the lake surface and shot into the bottom of the lake.

After waiting for a few breaths, the entire calm lake suddenly rippled, and circles of blue waves like waves continued to appear. In the middle, the fluctuations were most obvious, as if spring water was bubbling out.

Layers of blue light appeared from the middle, and soon a blue light circle appeared in the air, rotating above.

"Hurry up." The teacher took out a jade ruler and gently placed it on the shore. As the white light on it became stronger, the jade ruler suddenly stretched out, forming a jade bridge connected to the front of the light circle, just enough for one person to walk.

Without him saying much, the disciples lined up behind him and jumped into the light circle.

The center of the light circle flashed, and one person after another disappeared from the air and entered the secret realm.
