Chapter 1302

After waiting for a while, Gu Zheng stood up and said to Shuang'er who was lost in thought, "You should take a rest first. I'll go to other places in the village."

Shuang'er shook her head, nodded obediently, and then sat down at the stone table next to her, lost in thought.

Gu Zheng shook his head, and then walked out of the room. He was very interested in the methods of people here to control the power of darkness, and if he wanted to absorb the pure power of darkness, he might have to use some of the things here.

At this time, the whole village was filled with an alluring fragrance. According to Elder Mei, even the newcomers had a sip of the soup. The population of this village was only so large.

It's not that they don't want to expand, it's because the food is only enough to feed these people. The person before would say that there is no waste here, and everyone has to use their own labor to obtain food.

Just now, the old, weak, women and children only need to do some simple tasks in the village, and children of both genders must be trained.

While thinking about Gu Zheng, he came to the stone platform in the middle, and there were no guards here, and the four figures before were not here either.

The stone platform is very high, and it is built with only one very steep step. For Gu Zheng, it is still very easy to go up.

At this time, there is still green mist lingering in the middle of the stone platform, but it is not as thick as it seems from a distance. It has become a lot sparser, as if it is some signs of spontaneous formation on the stone platform.

Gu Zheng stood on the edge and observed carefully. Elder Lu Wumei had given a serious warning not to touch it casually, because for those who have not practiced the power of darkness, once it comes into contact, it will melt into a ball of green liquid in an extremely short time.

Although Gu Zheng felt that he should not be afraid in theory, he still had to be careful and just stood outside and watched through the vague green mist.

There are many strange patterns carved in the center of the stone platform, as well as many seemingly profound runes and spells. Some green light flashes on it from time to time, and some green mist comes out three times from above. There is an invisible force on the outside that makes these green The fog is no longer spreading, but is still slowly absorbing the green fog, so that the total amount above seems to be about the same.

Gu Zheng was not very proficient in formations, but he still knew a little bit about them. However, at this time, he could not understand what was written on it, but there seemed to be a mysterious feeling in it, which made Gu Zheng unknowingly. I want one to explore.

"jingle"

A very clear voice appeared in Gu Zheng's ears, interrupting his train of thought. Gu Zheng was shocked that he had forgotten to be on guard. If someone really did something bad to him, he would probably be a corpse at this time. .

But his face didn't move at all, he turned around expressionlessly, and was suddenly startled when he saw the scene in front of him.

Because in front of him was the cute pet he had seen before, currently suspended in the air, looking at him curiously, his tail wagging behind him occasionally.

Seeing Gu Zheng looking back at him, it looked very happy, flying up and down in the air, and the bells kept ringing.

Gu Zheng knew about this cute pet because he asked Elder Mei about it, and he specifically told him about it and explained it a little bit.

Three years ago, I came here with the hunting team. At that time, it was still covered in clothes, and it looked like it was just a kept pet. Otherwise, it would have been killed by the hunting team at that time.

Maybe a small area of ​​black mist appeared, so it was sucked in. Of course, maybe the owner was scattered and lost, so he followed them here.

I wonder if this world is what Han Xiu said, and it only erupts once in such a long time. In fact, there is black mist everywhere in the world at all times, but the scale is very small, perhaps less than the size of a person. Fog sometimes simply appears there without anyone entering it until it dissipates on its own. It even appears in lakes and lakes on the seabed, mostly in inaccessible places.

From time to time, shrimps, crabs, rabbits and other creatures will also enter here and use them as their food. Therefore, as long as the spiritual intelligence is not turned on, they are not considered to be monsters, and they will randomly fall into this world.

Of course, most pets come here with their owners, and the name of the village also welcomes such characters. After all, even if ordinary pets lose their magic power, they can still fight a lot with their bodies alone.

But this cute pet doesn't seem to have much fighting power, and it looks very smart, so everyone agrees that when it enters the village, given its size, it can't eat much anyway, so it is just a mascot.

But this cute pet didn't eat their food at all. Instead, it settled on the stone platform in the middle and fed on the green mist.

The last time the monster attacked the city, it swallowed a green crystal that they brought out. Only then did they know that it had such great fighting power, which made them ecstatic, so they would continue to give it to it this time. Please come and destroy the giant elephant with one blow.

Moreover, Elder Mei also told Gu Zheng that the value of the unicorn egg was far beyond his imagination, but Gu Zheng didn't take it seriously. One land and water nurtured one creature. He guessed that the creatures here were just some creatures that had adapted a long time ago. , I'm afraid my strength will be greatly reduced after going out.

Just like the people of the Sea Clan, on the ground far away from the ocean, their combat effectiveness is less than 70% of the total victory, so Gu Zheng doesn't care at all.

These are stone houses with some things in them, and many things about this place are recorded in them. Elder Mei knows a lot of things because he is curious about his own specialness.

"Bah bah"

This cute pet made a clear and crisp sound from its mouth, as if it was saying something.

But Gu Zheng showed an embarrassed look, because he didn't understand what the other party was saying at all, but he thought the other party's voice was very nice and gentle.

And the cute pet called for a long time, and seeing that the other party still had that blank expression, knowing that the other party didn't understand what he meant at all, he immediately lost his temper, turned around and flew to the side, and disappeared.

Gu Zheng was a little surprised. Although he didn't understand the other party at all, he could hear the other party's anxious look. Li Hu asked for help from him, why did he leave like this.

When he was puzzled, Gu Zheng saw the other party fluttering from the other side. Until now, Gu Zheng didn't know how the other party could fly here without wings and make a bird-like sound.

At this time, it was holding a green crystal bigger than him in its little hand, which made Gu Zheng suddenly startled after seeing it. This was much bigger than the one Chang Xi took, and he didn't know where he took it from.

At this time, the other party held him, flew to Gu Zheng, handed over the thing in his hand, and kept shouting.

Gu Zheng curiously reached out and took it. Chang Xi could take it with his bare hands, so it seemed that there should be no danger.

This green crystal did not feel as cold as imagined, but felt a little warm, but other than that, there was no feeling, as if it was just an ordinary piece of warning.

Gu Zheng thought that Chang Xi guided the energy from it, but there was not a little bit in his body, just like a sentence of looking at the mountain and crying.

The cute pet next to him was so happy when he saw Gu Zheng accept it, and finally flew to his shoulder and stopped on it.

Gu Zheng was stunned, not knowing what happened.

"Little guy, I know you can understand what I say, but I don't know what you are saying. I'm going to another place, you should leave quickly." After studying the stone platform for a while, Gu Zheng suddenly thought of the treasure house that Elder Mei mentioned before, and prepared to go there to see if there was any way.

Since ordinary people like them can grasp a little bit, then I can definitely grasp the method, even if I can only use this green crystal, it will play a role at the critical moment.

Gu Zheng saw the light beam stimulated by Chang Xi with his own eyes, which is also their biggest reliance for implementing the plan.

In fact, they thought of it a long time ago, but unfortunately, the green light speed could not break the outer armor of the Qilin beast at all, so it was left unresolved.

But the cute pet shook his head and pointed at the crystal in Gu Zheng's hand, as if to say that accepting his things was to agree to its conditions.

His hand also tightly grasped Gu Zheng's collar, without any sign of loosening.

Gu Zheng didn't understand what it meant, so he had to watch and let him hold it. He didn't think that this cute pet could only burst out such a powerful strength after eating the crystal, and it must have just made this gesture for the villagers to see.

And Gu Zheng himself walked towards the corner of the village. Now the whole village was empty, but many people's laughter could be heard everywhere, and Gu Zheng heard satisfaction and happiness from it.

Today's harvest is enough for them to enjoy a good time. Because there is no way to keep it fresh, they can eat a big meal that they can only eat a few times a year for several days in a row.

After a while, Gu Zheng easily reached the destination. It is said that no one can enter the place except the elders, and there is not even a gatekeeper.

Come to think of it, everyone here is running for life, how can they waste time here, and they can't learn, which is indeed the case.

Gu Zheng looked at the house that looked a little shabby, but the area seemed not small, occupying a whole corner, and it was tightly closed. Gu Zheng pushed forward, but found that the stone door did not move.

Gu Zheng found a gap in the corner above. Gu Zheng slapped his head and quickly took out a small stone, the thing that Elder Mei gave him, clicked it on top, and pushed it towards the stone door in front of him again.

Accompanied by a rumbling sound, this time the stone door was opened effortlessly, and a large piece of green light emerged from it, and at the same time a rotten and damp breath came to his face.

Gu Zheng waited outside the door for a while, and then walked in slowly after the breath inside had almost dissipated.

Under the green light of the countless stones outside, Gu Zheng could see the scene inside the house at a glance.

There were many tall stone tablets in the middle, the big one was three feet high, almost reaching the roof, and the small one was only five or six feet low. At a glance, there were densely engraved small characters on it, and on the edge were pieces of stone books the size of books. There were several stone shelves near the door.

There were several dull magic tools on it, a disc-like thing, a magic weapon like a lantern, and a small black ball. It seemed that they had fallen here with their owners and had no place to use.

However, it has not been broken until now, and it looks very high-grade. It still looks brand new and bright, and there are obvious traces of someone wiping it. It seems that someone is maintaining this place.

Not only the magic tools, everything looks very clean, as if someone often comes to clean here. Gu Zheng thought it was all covered with dust and looked dirty before.

The writing on each stone tablet has become much darker, which seems to be caused by wiping the dust inside over time.

"Young man, what are you doing here?" Gu Zheng was thinking, when suddenly an old voice came to his ears. Gu Zheng's mind was all focused on these, and the other party walked very lightly, so he didn't pay any attention.

Gu Zheng looked back and saw a white-haired old man, who was obviously old, slightly bent over, holding a gray cloth in his hand. It seemed that he was the cleaner here.

"I'm here to find some information. I wonder if the old man can give me some advice?" Gu Zheng asked politely.

"Of course, I just don't know what you are looking for. Most of the things here are left by the old people. I hope that one day I can continue their Taoism. Unfortunately, everything is useless now." The old man walked around Gu Zheng and came to the side of the magic weapon. He stretched out his wrinkled hand, picked up the things on it, and wiped it gently. The movement was very slow, but very cognitive.

Gu Zheng found that the other party's legs and feet were not in good condition. Instead of asking his own questions first, he pointed to the stone tablet inside and asked, "Did you do everything here? How long have you been here?"

The old man paused, then moved again, and said slowly, "It's been about a few decades. I was injured when I was young, and my legs and feet are not in good condition. I can't go out hunting. I can be said to be a useless person."

Then he put the plate that had been wiped in his hand back to its original place, picked up the magic weapon next to him and continued.

"This place was also built by the predecessor who arranged the formation before. Later, some people gradually filled it with some things. So, I was sent here to be responsible for the maintenance of this place. It can be regarded as a meal for me. Otherwise, I would have starved to death decades ago. I didn't expect to be able to eat such things. Otherwise, you wouldn't see me. I haven't been here for a long time. I just lie in bed waiting to die."

There was no complaint in his tone, as if he was just stating some facts that should be so.

After hearing this, Gu Zheng felt a little melancholy, but the other party did not seem to have any so-called resentment, as if everything was going well, which made Gu Zheng feel that he should stop Elder Chang's plan and not implicate the ordinary people in their village in order to satisfy their personal grudges.

Even if he learned the immortal method, it would be useless. Without enough resources and spiritual energy here, he could not break through this layer of space at all. At that time, the most unlucky people would still be ordinary people.

"Old man, do you know where there is a record of how to master the power of darkness?" Gu Zheng asked respectfully at his back.

The old man did not answer, but only said to Gu Zheng after wiping the last round ball.

"You newcomers, why don't you give up? So far, no one has succeeded, even the adults in the past have not succeeded in taming it."

"There is no way to control the power of darkness. Even if there is, it cannot be placed here. The three stone tablets in the middle may help you there." After the old man said this, he turned around and walked to the side, picked up the long book below, and began to wipe it carefully.

Gu Zheng saw that the other party didn't want to pay attention to him, so he continued to walk towards the middle, looking at the stone tablets beside him along the way.

"I am Lin Mu, a human cultivator in the late Golden Immortal stage. I can't bear to see my master's original skills lost. I hope someone can return the law to me when they get out. Lingyan Sect is located in Beijuluzhou."

"I am Kankun, a human cultivator in the middle Golden Immortal stage. I hope someone can help me take care of my people. I am in Qinghai City, Ou Lingwanggui in the middle of Nanzhanbuzhou. My skills are very ordinary, but I wrote down my experience of cultivation, hoping to help you in your cultivation."

"I am Xiyang Miao, a human cultivator at the peak of the Golden Immortal stage. I am a casual cultivator with no ties. I just don't want my self-created skills to disappear like this. I hope you can take them out and help me find another successor to pass them on."

If you count them carefully here, there are at least hundreds of stone tablets, scattered and placed in a very regular manner. Counting from the last time of the stone tablets, the most recent one is 30,000, left by a late Golden Immortal.

Layers of stone tablets are all the things left by the dead predecessors, but all of them are people above the Golden Immortal Stage, and perhaps some are lower, and may not be able to enter here.

Of course, Gu Zheng knows that perhaps more people have left nothing behind, and perhaps more people died on the way out, willing to become a nameless bone, and unwilling to live here.

Because this is not something that human power can resist at all, and I don’t know how many people’s corpses feed the monsters here.

Although everyone seems to have figured it out when writing, and does not have the extravagant hope of being able to go out and leave this world without any hope, but Gu Zheng can still feel that the words are full of despair and hope.

Gu Zheng slowed down, and his mood became heavy. Each stone tablet represents a person who wrote these things in despair and eventually died alone.

In the end, Gu Zheng stopped completely, took a deep breath, and then turned back again.

He began to write down the words on the stone tablets one by one, no longer skipping them as before, remembering each one in his mind and storing them.

When I get out, I will have the chance to pass on their wishes. Although I don't know where many of the places mentioned above are, I can ask someone to go there. There will always be a way.

Perhaps knowing what Gu Zheng was thinking, the green fluorescence around him began to fade, and green words appeared in the air one by one. When Gu Zheng wrote down one, the stone tablet would hide and no longer light up.

The guard looked at the scene in astonishment, and his hand began to tremble slightly. The cute pet looked dazed. It could not understand this space and had fallen into dizziness.
