Chapter 1655

"Bang"

A loud bang exploded, and scattered golden light flashed in the air, revealing Gu Zheng inside.

Gu Zheng looked around with a gloomy face, but found that there was no one there, and he was still in the place where he was trapped at the beginning.

"It was really reckless. I should have retreated first." Gu Zheng said with some annoyance.

The other party had the help of the Nine-Layer Pagoda in his hand, which greatly interfered with his actions and caught him in.

Looking at the empty space around, Gu Zheng remembered that Xiaoying was also caught here, and immediately flew around.

Half a day later, Gu Zheng appeared in front of the door he came in from, which was of course tightly closed at this time.

There was only a blue ring on a blue door, which seemed to be used for him to knock on the door. Gu Zheng gently pushed it with his hand and found that it did not move at all, so there was not much hope.

He looked around everything, but did not find any trace of her, and there was not even a path to other places, as if there was only this floor.

Gu Zheng suddenly raised his fist and smashed it towards the door, but only heard a slight sound. The door in front of him seemed to be resilient and dented a large part towards the inside, but there was no limit to opening it.

Gu Zheng shook his head. His fierce attack just now did not fall on it at all. It was all absorbed. Now it was a bit difficult.

Before he had some understanding of himself, it seemed that he could only be trapped here. He did not have such a great ability to rush out in one go.

But what worried Gu Zheng the most was Xiaoying's current situation. He was on the first floor, and it seemed that he was just storing the scriptures left by the other party. There was no danger. As for the upper floors, it was unknown.

"Shua shua"

Gu Zheng turned around and raised his hand. Hundreds of golden sword energy immediately slashed towards those books and scriptures. Unfortunately, most of the sword energy was swallowed up by the first layer of bookshelves like a drop in the ocean, and did not cause any movement at all.

The remaining sword energy just passed through those phantoms and continued to fly forward until it was sucked in again and disappeared.

Gu Zheng was shocked and flew towards those empty places. He didn't notice it on the way just now. He simply checked a few bookshelves and felt that they were integrated with this space. They were not installed separately later.

When he arrived there, Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and looked forward. The bookshelf in front of him, which seemed real or illusory, passed through directly, without even his palm.

Gu Zheng's heart moved, and then this person walked forward straight, and the next moment Gu Zheng's figure came out from behind.

Gu Zheng closed his eyes, sensed the surroundings, and finally opened his eyes, his eyes full of helplessness.

I thought the way to leave here was in this, but I didn't expect it was just an illusion, making this place seem less empty.

"Ding Dang"

Gu Zheng suddenly heard a sound beside his ears, and Gu Zheng's mind instantly appeared the blue spirit ring on the door just now. From the direction of the sound, it should be that the blue door was opened, and the whole figure quickly rushed to the back.

"Xiaoying!"

Wan Wan did not expect that a small figure came into his eyes, and it was Xiaoying.

"Young Master, I didn't expect you to be caught in here." Xiaoying was stunned at first, muttering in her mouth.

"I was counting on you to rescue me."

Gu Zheng's figure paused in the air, but he rushed over quickly.

"If you didn't see me coming in, I would take you out, otherwise the other party would not be able to trap me." Gu Zheng said without blushing or beating his heart.

"That's right, how do we get out? I was on the upper floor just now, and there were many strange auras in it. I thought that the first floor was where the other party put the book, which was very safe, so I followed a road down." Xiaoying thought that Gu Zheng risked his life alone to save her, and she felt that it was right to follow the young master, and the little grudge in her heart disappeared.

Gu Zheng certainly didn't expect that he just felt that he couldn't damage his image in front of her, and a casual remark would actually dispel the other party's last psychological vigilance.

After all, Xiaoying followed Gu Zheng at first because of her grandfather. Although she felt that Gu Zheng was good along the way, she always felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. However, she was completely defeated by Gu Zheng this time and truly recognized Gu Zheng as his son.

"I was here when I came in. I didn't figure out the current situation before I found you in. Is there an exit above?" Gu Zheng pointed to the closed door and said.

"I remember Master Wuxiang mentioned casually that the first floor is where the old books are stored, the second floor seems to absorb and refine some filthy things, and from the third floor up, some other things appear. I don't know what they are, but if you want to go out, I'm afraid you have to go to the top floor." Xiaoying thought carefully and then spoke.

"Well, but I don't think the danger is that great. For one thing, after so many years, even if there is danger, it has been refined. Secondly, the creatures that the other party can imprison will not be more powerful than him, so I can definitely guarantee your safety with me." Gu Zheng also analyzed on the side.

"But we can't take the initiative to enter other people's magic weapons again, just like this time, I couldn't react at all, and you were captured." At the end, Gu Zheng added another sentence.

"I know, I will be careful in the future." Xiaoying also nodded, mainly because no one expected this kind of thing to happen, otherwise they wouldn't go in.

Xiaoying stretched out her hand, grabbed the blue ring, and pulled it outward. The door was opened so easily, and a staircase was hidden behind it.

Gu Zheng then realized that the door was pulled, not pushed. If he had pulled it down at that time, he might have discovered something strange.

However, Gu Zheng just thought about it in his mind, and did not show it on his face. He walked directly up.

It was not dark behind the blue door, because the staircase itself emitted a faint golden light, illuminating the surroundings.

"This staircase is the ladder of repentance. Each layer is engraved with the most classic Buddhist quotes, persuading people to turn back and convert to us. It's a bit hypocritical." Xiaoying followed Gu Zheng and explained to him.

The light on it was emitted by these tiny words. Gu Zheng didn't pay attention to it at all. He only noticed it when he heard him say it.

"But you haven't learned Buddhism in your studies these days. Why do you say these hypocrisy?" Gu Zheng raised his head and looked at the seemingly endless stairs above, and then said.

"Of course I have learned a lot. My level of Buddhist studies is almost catching up with my cultivation, just a little less than Master Wuxiang." Xiaoying flew diagonally in the air and said to Gu Zheng sideways.

"But this is just my own opinion. Those views are only for outsiders. Only in this way can we maintain the dignity of Buddhism. Only in this way can we brainwash those low-level believers and cultivate fanatical high-level believers. Hehe, these Master Wuxiang also told me that in fact, Buddhism is more about the original heart. Within the general framework, there is no need to be restricted by rules and regulations."

Xiaoying accompanied Gu Zheng and talked naggingly, as if she was afraid that Gu Zheng didn't know the inside story.

In fact, Gu Zheng already knew it in his heart. Of course, he knew that Buddhism was different inside and outside. When he met something he liked, he would only say that there was a predestined relationship, and then go up to grab it. I'm afraid that those who have dealt with those Buddhists a lot know that face.

But there are also some Buddhists who are admirable. They have another set of behavioral norms in their hearts. After all, no matter who they are, there are good people and bad people.

After walking up for an hour, Gu Zheng finally saw a black gate in front of him, and Xiaoying finally stopped talking.

Later, she began to talk about her practice of Buddhism, and she said everything like pouring beans, which made him understand more deeply.

"The second floor is above, and I have also found the route to the third floor. There are protections between each floor, so it is impossible for us to come here easily. I don’t know what happened, it seems that all the restrictions are closed." Xiaoying pointed to the front and said.

"Then we must hurry up. The other party may want to use this nine-story tower to do something. Don’t let the innocent people be trapped in it." Gu Zheng knew what Wuxiang was going to do when he heard what Xiaoying said.

In addition to the other party’s simple conversation, I am afraid that the nine-story tower is needed to suppress the so-called threat below. I am afraid that this is also the reason why the other party has been staying here, but something went wrong.

Gu Zheng didn’t know what it was specifically, but he only knew that the sooner he got out, the better. Once the other party took advantage of it, it would be a bit bad.

Gu Zheng has already climbed onto the black door and pushed it upwards, directly pushing open the door.

When he looked over, the whole world was shrouded in a faint black mist, and at the same time, a faint smell of the sea permeated his nose.

"Where is the exit?" Gu Zheng took a few steps forward, waited until Xiaoying floated beside him, and looked at her and asked.

"In the lower left corner, there is a blooming lotus, and there is a lotus stem that goes straight up, but I felt it was dangerous, so I didn't go up." Xiaoying pointed to the front and said.

"Well, let's go now without further delay." Gu Zheng hurriedly walked over there with Xiaoye.

There was nothing except this weird black fog along the way, but the fishy smell made people feel a little nauseous.

After flying for half a cup of tea, a golden light column appeared in the distance and could be seen at a glance.

Gu Zheng did not relax at all, and was always alert to the surroundings. Even if he could sense all the space at a glance, Gu Zheng was not careless.

As they got closer and closer to the golden pillar, the unique breath of Buddha's light also wafted through the air, and it seemed that everything was calm.

Gu Zheng stepped into the golden light with caution. At this time, all the black fog was expelled, and the whole person was bathed in the warm Buddha's kingdom.

In front of him, a huge lotus several dozen feet tall took root on the ground, and the huge petals and lotus stems on the top of his head reached the sky, and the scene at the top could not be seen at all.

However, there were obvious traces of climbing upwards in the middle, like steps, slanting along the thick roots and spiraling upwards.

"Let's go!" Gu Zheng just observed it for a while, approached it directly, and soon stepped onto the somewhat hard platform.

There was no protection on both sides, and Gu Zheng and Xiaoying climbed up one after another along the path that could barely be passed by one person.

Under the influence of the Buddha's light around them, they could not fly at all, and could only climb up honestly.

The two people were very fast, and soon they had risen into the air. There was no danger to disturb them at all, which also made Xiaoying, who had been tense behind them, breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, the Buddha's light around them became increasingly dense, and they could not see the scenery outside. No villains could break through the periphery to attack them.

"How long will it take, I still like to fly." Xiaoying complained to Gu Zheng in front of her.

"Referring to the previous article, it seems that you have to endure it for a while longer." Gu Zheng replied without looking back. Compared with the inexplicable danger, this little journey is really easy.

Xiaoying is just talking, of course she understands.

After half an hour, they came to a very wide platform. The scene above showed that it should be a huge lotus leaf.

"What's next!" Xiaoying looked around at this moment and saw that there was no way up.

"There is a flower stand in front of it. Let's go and take a look." Gu Zheng pointed to the front and said. The flower stand over there is actually hidden outside the lotus leaves, and it is very inconspicuous under the shroud of Buddha's light.

"What formation is this?"

Not long after, Gu Zheng and Xiaoying, who had passed quickly, stood at the edge of the night, looking at a few flower stamens connected to each other, like a small bridge for them to walk together, Xiaoying looked at the patterns on it and said.

She only knew that it was a formation, and she didn't know anything else, because she only learned a few very simple formations, and Wuxiang didn't teach her any other formations.

"I'm not sure. It seems like a special formation in Buddhism, but it seems that we should continue to move forward from here. Otherwise, there is really no way out. Be prepared, let's go in."

Gu Zheng thought for a moment, then looked around, and finally decided.

Xiaoying nodded and followed Gu Zheng up the flower stamens.

This petal-like flower stand exudes a faint fragrance. After a gentle sniff, you immediately feel refreshed and a little fatigue on your body is swept away.

"It smells so good. There is such pure Buddha power inside. I didn't expect that there is a huge lotus flower that stores Buddha power here!" Xiaoying took a deep breath and said.

The surrounding lace was erected high, making it impossible to see what was going on outside, and there seemed to be no way forward.

But there was no need for them to bother. When they had just come up and were still exploring the surroundings, lines lit up under the petals, and in the blink of an eye, the entire petals bloomed with intense golden light.

At the same time, the petals swayed slightly and began to slowly float upward, as if they were taking them away from here.

"This thing is really ingenious. I really want to have a nice sleep here." Xiaoying felt that the speed on her side was getting faster and faster. She leaned against the lace next to her and said with some comfort.

"Why do you think of sleeping? It doesn't matter if you haven't slept for tens of thousands of years." Gu Zheng said jokingly when he saw Xiaoying closing her eyes, thinking that she was pretending to sleep on purpose.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zheng suddenly felt a strong sense of sleepiness in his mind.

When he secretly screamed something bad, his body had already tilted to the side.

"I checked carefully here, but why did I faint? Could it be the fragrance?"

This was Gu Zheng's last thought as he fell into a coma.

"Tick tock, tick tock!"

In a damp cave, there are several stone milk pipes several feet long hanging upside down on the wide stone wall. Milky white light shines from above, illuminating most of the cave.

On top of those stone milks, little bits of crystal light slowly condensed, and finally turned into a little liquid and slowly fell downwards. Finally, with a "tick" sound, it fell into a small pool below, causing some ripples. Scattered around.

Other than that, the cave was silent, with only a mountain of bones piled up beside the small pool, indicating that the owner of this cave was not a simple person.

"Ding-Deng-Deng"

There were heavy footsteps in the distance, and a fish-tailed monster walked in from the outside. There was a look of pain on its somewhat ferocious face, and some blood was faintly flowing out of its sharp-toothed mouth.

Behind him was an old monk wearing a treacherous cassock, with a kind face and a kind face, as if he had gained the respect of an eminent monk.

"Okay, Bald Donkey, you and I are in a good mood today, so I won't eat you for now. You can rest here. When the injury is healed, you can leave." The fish demon pointed to a slightly clean place on one side, and then continued I took out some wild fruits from nowhere and they were still on the ground.

The monk always had a smile on his face, and he glanced at the skeletons over there quietly, watching the wild fruits roll around on the ground, becoming covered with dust and becoming dirty.

"What are you looking at? Go and do it yourself. The old bald donkey is old and ugly. The meat must be extremely sour and smelly, and it must not be delicious." The fish demon muttered in his mouth and continued to walk towards the entrance of the cave without looking. .

"This donor, you seem to be injured." The old monk suddenly said.

"What does my injury have to do with you? If you keep nagging me, I'll eat you." The fish demon paused and continued to walk forward, saying in a harsh tone.

"And let me tell you, get some rest and get out of here. If I find you are still here, don't blame me for being rude."

"Amitabha, good, good!"

The old monk here whispered, then quickly shot out a Buddha's light in his hand, condensed it in front of him, and finally pushed forward suddenly, rushing into the air.

"Old bald donkey, how dare you sneak up on me!"

At this time, the fish demon discovered what was happening behind him. The monk who he thought was an ordinary person turned out to be an immortal with profound cultivation.

When he didn't notice the annoyance in his heart, a cloud of black mist had emerged from his body, forming a defense, trying to block the opponent's attack first.

The Buddha's light descended on his head the next moment, and at the same time, a mighty Buddha aura fell from the sky.

"It's over. I'm finally blinded this time, but I don't have to fight that mortal enemy."

This thought suddenly popped up in the fish demon's mind, and the next moment he was enveloped by the Buddha's light.

After half a cup of tea, the Buddha's light dissipated, revealing the fish demon underneath, intact.

"My injuries are all healed!"

The fish demon looked at his body in disbelief and murmured.

"I don't know what else you have to do when you go out. I still have some magic power and can help you." The old monk said with his hands clasped together.

Because the pile of bones were all animal bones, there was not a single human one.

The fish demon looked at the old monk, his lips moved slightly but he didn't say anything more, and left the cave again.
