Chapter 1542

Here, after Gu Zheng entered the passage, he took back his magic weapon and completely detonated the passage, making it completely scrapped and no one could use it again.

The cave finally collapsed under Gu Zheng's deliberate detonation, and it was sealed with the underground river below. Except for the entrance, it was still preserved, but no one could enter it anymore.

The figure in the passage was running forward quickly along the only road, followed by the sound of explosions.

"Ahhh!"

With several loud screams, three figures suddenly rushed out from the bottom of the mountain.

"Help, Elder Gu!"

Ying Shao watched herself falling from the air, hundreds of meters above the ground, and couldn't help shouting.

But at this time, Gu Zheng was still running towards this side inside, and there was no time to rescue him.

Ying Shao watched the big tree below getting closer and closer to her, and couldn't help closing her eyes and shouting.

"I'm dying, I'm dying!"

The crackling sound kept coming from the branches, and a figure broke countless branches and leaves from the air, and finally fell from above to below.

With a muffled "bang", a large pit in the shape of a human appeared below.

"It hurts so much!"

Ying Shao climbed up from the pit below, shouting helplessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures landed steadily beside her, they were Luo Xin and Elder Ye.

"Why didn't you help me? You almost scared me to death!" Ying Shao looked at the dust all over her body and said a little aggrievedly.

"It's not that we are too late. Let's clean it up quickly, otherwise you are so dirty, the young master will definitely not like it!" Luo Xin was also a little helpless. Who would have thought that Ying Shao couldn't even control her body shape, and fell straight down like a stone. Fortunately, her skin was thick and the height was not high, so nothing happened.

When Ying Shao heard it, a blue light flashed in her hand, and a layer of water mist appeared around her body. When the water mist disappeared, all the mess disappeared.

"Boom boom"

The top of the mountain next to them shook, and at the same time, a figure flew out from the place where they just came out.

As soon as the figure came out, the cave entrance collapsed and was blocked.

"Are you okay? I seemed to hear screams just now."

Gu Zheng paused in the air for a while, and saw the three people below. He came to them in a flash, and looked at the strange atmosphere, and couldn't help asking.

"It's okay. When I came down just now, I accidentally saw some flying insects, which scared me." Ying Shao's face flushed, and she explained quickly.

"It's good that you're okay. Let's go. Elder Ye made you suffer!" Gu Zheng was puzzled. He clearly remembered that not long ago, she still said that she liked insects. Why did she hate them again here? It was really incomprehensible.

But he still told Elder Ye that in order to speed them up just now, he directly threw them out of the back half manually. Almost the tip of their noses were against the wall, and a little movement might collide with them.

"It's okay. I still want to thank you. You took such a big risk and rescued me from there. I really can't thank you enough." Elder Ye looked at Gu Zheng and said with some emotion. To be honest, he really planned to die there.

"We are all family members. It's right to rescue you. As soon as I came here, a passage appeared in front of me. It seems that God asked me to save you, otherwise I really wouldn't be sure to escape from there." Gu Zheng laughed.

"Fate! Who would have thought of it." Elder Ye sighed. He almost didn't escape, thanks to Gu Zheng who knocked him out.

"Sir, where are we going next?" Ying Shao recovered her mood and asked while looking at this strange place.

"Of course, go to the place I have always wanted to go. With me here, you can rest assured. No one dares to bully you!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.

After Gu Zheng and his group stayed for a while, they began to move towards the direction of Jishi Village under the leadership of Elder Ye.

However, they were not moving very fast, because when they left, there was still a war there. Even if they rushed back at full speed, they could not get close. It would be bad if they were discovered.

Gu Zheng would leave a mark every once in a while along the way. Although they were puzzled, they did not ask.

The secret sentries along the way were gone because of the war. Gu Zheng and Elder Ye walked in front and discussed other things together.

From cultivation to the scenery outside, from Xingcai's childhood to some secrets here, the two communicated with each other.

Luo Xin behind was more troubled. Facing the curious Ying Shao, she felt like taking care of a child. She was particularly tired. She followed her everywhere, tried different things, and teased those ferocious beasts.

Fortunately, Gu Zheng put a breath on her, otherwise she would have provoked several demon beasts in the celestial period several times, and the two of them would have become each other's food.

Facing the ferocious beast, she really didn't know why it became a little cutie in Ying Shao's mouth, and she even wanted to touch him, and even went so far as to touch them. That was fine, but why did she have to ride them? She was so scared, and she kept muttering that it was fun.

Get rid of it, you are a demon who can transform, and your potential is much greater than theirs.

Of course, in the end, the tiger-like demon was still ridden by Ying Shao.

When he decided to take a bite of Yingshao, he saw Gu Zheng's figure, looking at it coldly from the side, and his ferocious body immediately leaned down, making Yingshao very happy.

The only good thing was that Yingshao didn't force herself on others and left after playing for a while.

Every day, Yingshao's happy voice would be heard around Gu Zheng, and a somewhat helpless voice would explain after her.

Stop and go, half a year has passed.

At this time, they were not far from Jishi Village. At this time, they were staying next to a forest. There was a gap of grassland ahead. After a few days' walk, they could reach Jishi Village.

This place, the last time it was followed by Manli

"Master, Master, there is no fighting ahead, we can go directly!" Yingshao, who volunteered to go out to investigate the situation, ran over and shouted loudly.

Gu Zheng knew it was over a long time ago, but he didn't brush off her kindness and let her run a few times to vent her untired spirit along the way.

"You are so careless. You don't even know there is a tail behind you!" Gu Zheng shook his head and waited until they ran here before saying.

"Tail, what is a tail? Is it Sister Luo Xin's tail?" Yingshao's face turned red due to excitement. She turned her head and looked behind her curiously, then ran behind Luo Xin and pointed at the little tail.

"Don't make trouble, Master, you are not talking about my tail!" Luo Xin shrank her tail under her clothes and said with a slight blush on her face.

"What on earth is that? Who else has a tail besides you?" Yingshao slowly looked at Elder Ye, as if she was talking about him.

"Don't look, it's about us," Luo Xin explained feebly.

"Elder Ye, let's leave now, the other party has gone back." Gu Zheng said to Elder Ye.

The spies left quickly after seeing Gu Zheng's side, and they will probably report it soon.

The four people moved forward again, and soon Yingshao forgot about the previous question, and went looking for some interesting things nearby with great interest.

When they quickened their pace and walked a distance away from each other, they could see the huge city wall from here, and then they saw dozens of people flying out of the city and rushing towards them.

The leader is a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and a strong build. You can feel the righteousness at a glance. This kind of man is very reassuring and convincing at first sight.

Behind him were humans with different cultivation levels. They all looked at Elder Ye next to Gu Zheng with surprise on their faces.

"Haha, this little brother looks a little strange!" The middle-aged man here laughed as soon as he came up. He did not say hello to Elder Ye, but said to Gu Zheng.

"Uncle, I am also the first to come here. It's normal for everyone to see me!" Gu Zheng said with slight respect to the middle-aged man in front of him.

The opponent's eyebrows were very similar to Xingcai's, and coupled with his unfathomable cultivation, it was enough to prove that the person opposite him was the village chief of Jishi and Xingcai's father.

Star tyrant!

And the other party must know that he has arrived. You must know that he is sending back the token on his body. Others don't know. Doesn't he know too?

Xingba was very satisfied with Gu Zheng's attitude, and he also regained his somewhat aggressive aura.

"Haha, it turns out to be Gu Zheng. When we suddenly met, I didn't dare to recognize you. I heard Cai'er talking about you. You were supposed to come back together last time, but something got delayed." Xing Ba's face made people feel comfortable. Smile and say with a smile.

"It does take some time. I will come back as soon as this is resolved." Gu Zheng moved a little to the side because the person next to Xingba had already walked over and walked towards Elder Ye.

"Who are those two?" Xing Ba looked at the two trembling people behind Gu Zheng and asked involuntarily.

"I was able to rescue Elder Ye this time, thanks to them, they are one of my own!" Gu Zheng turned to look at them, gave them a relieved look, and then said to Xingba.

"Okay, but this is not the place to talk. Let's go back and talk first." Xingba waved his hand and said not only to Gu Zheng, but also to others.

"Yes, patriarch!"

Soon, in a relatively large mansion, a living room was filled with all kinds of fragrant dishes. Gu Zheng was sitting on the left side of Xingba, while Yingshao and the others were already sitting at the back.

Yingshao was drooling as she looked at the dishes above. Fortunately, she got Gu Zheng's order and didn't start eating rashly. Luo Xin sat aside in a polite manner, looking at Yingshao from time to time, always afraid that the other party would do something. It's an irrational move, but so far it's okay, but I still can't rest assured.

There were more than a dozen people around the table, and the others were all members of the Cornerstone Village with different auras, both men and women. Everyone looked at Gu Zheng with a strange look, which meant a kind of judgment, which made Gu Zheng feel a little uncomfortable.

This seems to be the core figure of Jishi, but what makes Gu Zheng strange is that Xingcai does not appear here.

When the last dish was served, Xingba, who was sitting on the main seat, stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand and said.

"Gu Zheng, thank you very much for rescuing Elder Ye this time. All of us are grateful for this. I thank you on behalf of everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xingba drank the wine, turned the cup over, and drank without missing a drop. He didn't even have a chance to let Gu Zheng speak.

"Uncle Ba, we are all family. I have nothing to thank you for. You should know that Elder Ye loved Xingcai very much in the past. This is what I should do." When he finished drinking, Gu Zheng also stood up and said with a wry smile, and at the same time drank the wine in front of him.

"Haha, sit down, start eating, start eating, talk while eating, you have worked so hard on the way, don't be polite!" Xingba said with a smile.

"Let's eat!" Yingshao got excited when she heard Xingba speak, and hurriedly grabbed a barbecue in front of her.

"Slow down, don't be so fast, no one is competing with you." Luo Xin patted her forehead, and then said helplessly, she couldn't hear what she said. Sometimes she promised well, but before she could feel comfortable, she turned her head and forgot what she said.

Others didn't feel angry when they saw Yingshao's scene, because they could see through Yingshao at a glance. Although the other party was not a human, they still admired the other party's pure nature, so they didn't care about Yingshao's seemingly irregular behavior at all.

Everyone followed Xingba's movements, and then some people began to ask Elder Ye how he came back.

Elder Ye certainly knew how he came out, but that was too embarrassing, but he knew a part of it, so he just said a few more words vaguely, anyway, no one knew.

Indeed, no one doubted his extra words.

"Tsk tsk, see, if I had known earlier, I would have doubled up on Xingcai. Maybe someday, when I was in danger, there would be someone who would take risks for me and save my life. Am I right, Elder Ye!" A person next to him deliberately joked.

"Haha, no, I also owed it to Xingcai, otherwise I would have thought I would never come back!" Elder Ye said happily, but his eyes glanced at Gu Zheng. Everyone smiled knowingly and understood what he meant.

Not to mention the heated discussion around Elder Ye, Gu Zheng and Xingba also had a pleasant conversation.

After a few words of small talk, Gu Zheng finally couldn't help but raise the question in his heart.

In Xingba's opinion, Gu Zheng should be the one that Xingcai brought back. It is estimated that except for Elder Ye and a few people, no one knows what Xingcai thinks specifically.

"Uncle Ba, why didn't I see Xingcai? Was she injured in the battle some time ago?"

"Xingcai!" When Xingba mentioned Xingcai, his face, which was originally a little excited, suddenly became a little sad.

"What's wrong? Did Xingcai get into trouble?" Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he felt something was wrong, so he said immediately.

"That's right, Xingcai left here ten years ago, when Elder Ye was captured, and went to the Black Dragon City deep inside?"

"Black Dragon City? What's going there for?" Gu Zheng didn't know where the Black Dragon City was, but he saw that Xingba was a little strange, and he didn't know what was going on.

"That's right. There's nothing to hide. Originally, there was an altar in the middle of our Jishi Village. It once enshrined a treasure. It was a very powerful magic weapon. More importantly, it could convert black gas into another energy with amazing power."

Gu Zheng roughly understood what Xingba said. He thought that the black lightning was so powerful. It turned out to be condensed with black gas.

"So, there is a permanent black gas below?" Gu Zheng suddenly thought of this question.

"Yes, this is why we are stationed here, and we are so strong, but the most important thing is that the treasure is lost. The deterrence to the demon tribe on the opposite side is greatly reduced, and the opponent's offensive is so frequent." Xingba looked at Gu Zheng in surprise, but thought that it might be his daughter who told him this, so he didn't think much about it.

"With that treasure gourd, it can be said that the opponent will definitely be afraid. If I use it when it accumulates to a certain level, I will even pull down the left general on the opposite side!" Xingba snorted coldly, thinking of the left general who had always been against him, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

They are old rivals, and they know each other well, so no one can do anything to the other.

"Does it have anything to do with Xingcai going to Black Dragon City?" Gu Zheng asked again.

"Of course it has something to do with it. The treasure gourd is lost, and the people I sent out have not returned yet. After Elder Ye was captured, Xingcai decided to go to the sacrificial land to find another treasure to worship in order to make us stronger. When I found out, she had already left Black Dragon City." Xingba raised the wine glass in his hand and said bitterly.

"This treasure is what I brought back from the sacrificial land. There were fifty great talents, but only I came back. I only brought this one thing back, and I was teleported out. I also had some opportunities because of this, and I advanced to Daluo in tens of thousands of years."

"And Xingcai is going alone this time, and I can't stop her!"

He would rather not have those treasures than want Xingcai to take risks.

"Sacrificial land?" Gu Zheng was stunned, thinking secretly in his heart, is there any inheritance left by a great man here?

Perhaps seeing Gu Zheng’s confusion, Xingba continued.

"It is said that this place was once the habitat of a black dragon. There are demons here who worship him, and of course humans who worship them. The black dragon did not discriminate against them and taught them all the skills. However, one day, the black dragon fell here for some reason, which formed the Yunmeng Swamp. It is said that these mountains, land and black air are all the remains of the black dragon. Even now, there are still some remaining demons who worship the black dragon, firmly believing that it is just sleeping and will wake up one day."

"They are very united, and we call them the dark ones."

"The demons have their own heritage, and the humans have their own heritage. There are tombs of former strong men inside, and they have left many good things for the younger generations. However, they go deep into the north, and the risks are particularly high along the way. There are all kinds of wonderful natural barriers. If you are strong, he will be strong, and if you are weak, he will still be strong. Even I, even the two peak demons, dare not try to go in easily, because it is a road of death. So far, hundreds of peak demons have died on the way there and have not returned."
