Chapter 1741
Arriving in front of the sea of clouds, Gu Zheng looked at the only passage. If they entered, everything would be completely invisible and completely disappear from their perception.
Coupled with the constantly churning clouds and mist, it was like a monster that chose people to devour, waiting for them to fall into their trap.
"Let's go."
Gu Zheng saw a hint of timidity on Xiaoying's face and said immediately. He didn't expect that this place could affect people's minds. What he didn't expect was that Xiaoying seemed to be a little weak in this area and was actually shaken a little bit.
He took Xiaoying's little hand and led her into the passage. Soon, their figures were submerged in clouds of white mist.
Quiet, very quiet.
You can't see clearly even a foot away from this place. Even your own voice is forcibly suppressed ten times, let alone the sound of footsteps. It's like walking in a silent world.
And it is surrounded by the mountain wall, like a narrow corridor, giving people a dull feeling.
"Xiaoying, don't worry about being attacked. If my prediction is correct, this place is actually like this on purpose. There won't be any danger, and the passage will be very long. Don't be affected."
Gu Zheng slowly and carefully explored the surrounding area. After walking a certain distance, he understood a little bit about the situation here, and then he spoke.
"I know it won't be a problem."
Although he said this, Gu Zheng could clearly feel the slight tension in his hands, and the other party's body seemed to be trembling slightly.
This unique aura makes it feel as if two people are walking alone, even if they are just next to each other.
This feeling of loneliness frightened Xiaoying because she was not used to it.
Gu Zheng naturally knows what Xiaoying is thinking, so under normal circumstances, Gu Zheng will take her outside unless it is an emergency.
A warm current flowed into Xiaoying's body along the palm of her hand, dispelling a lot of fear in her heart, and even her pale face showed a trace of rosy.
One day later, even if they quickened their pace, they emerged from the long thick fog.
A tall and broad mountain peak appeared in front of them. The entire mountain peak was a black world. The trees were black, the grass was black, and even the flowers and grass on the field were black.
"It's a pity. If the kitten was here, we wouldn't have to work so hard and just let him take us away." Xiaoying took a slight breath and then said.
"Yes, I think the only shortcoming of this place is that none of us are very good at it, otherwise it would be too easy to leave." Gu Zheng nodded and agreed with Xiaoying.
To say that Gu Zheng didn't have any way to leave here is definitely a lie. Xiaoying also knew this, so neither of them panicked at all and wandered around here looking for it like an adventure.
And after they left, they had no idea where the mysterious man went. With this formation,
At first, he just wanted to take a look here, but then he met that weird young man. Gu Zheng thought of something in his mind, maybe someone was trapped here.
And this place is Kun Yu's territory. Maybe their people are trapped here. In short, if they find each other, they may be able to understand everything that happened here.
As for the wasted time, he didn't know where the other party was going anyway. If he came in again, he might get stuck here again. He might as well see what tricks the other party was playing.
After looking around for a while, they unfortunately didn't see anything else. The two people walked forward again. Nothing else happened along the way, and they soon arrived at the bottom of the mountain.
"Bang"
A very weak collision sound came from not far ahead.
Gu Zheng and Xiaoying looked at each other, quickened their pace and walked towards that direction. Accompanied by very regular sounds, they soon arrived at a relatively open place.
At this time, a naked human woodcutter wielding a black ax was sweating profusely and felling a thick tree.
From the many tree stumps remaining next to them, it can be seen that the other party has cut down a lot, and these trees look the same as the wooden houses built in the village.
"Kaka"
With the last angry shout from the other party, the big tree began to tilt to one side.
"Boom"
A trembling sound was heard, making a shocking sound in this relatively silent deep forest.
After all this was settled, Gu Zheng and the others stepped forward and approached the woodcutter who was resting over there.
"Hey, what a rare visitor. I haven't seen anyone here for a long time. Why are you here after traveling so far?" When the woodcutter saw Gu Zheng and the others, he took the initiative to say hello.
"We were entrusted by someone to catch black squirrels." Xiaoying stepped forward and said to the other party.
"Black squirrel? Are you here from my wife?" The woodcutter looked at Gu Zheng, and then focused his eyes on Xiaoying. The strange look in his eyes made Gu Zheng very strange.
"Yes, it was the elder sister who asked us to come." Xiaoying said sweetly as if she didn't notice.
"That bad old woman actually asked you to come here. Fortunately, you are not ordinary people. If I hadn't killed you, I came to give you a greeting gift. It seems that our place is not peaceful." The woodcutter sat directly on the tree stump and casually He took out a small black ball and handed it to Xiaoying.
The crystal clear appearance looked like a glass bead, but Xiaoying's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw it, she stepped forward and said with some joy.
"Uncle, is it really for me?"
"Of course, you must have suffered a lot of damage when you forced your way in from the outside world, and you don't have the high level of cultivation of this young man, so you need to replenish it." The woodcutter said with a smile, and then took off the white cloth on his palm little by little, revealing a pair of strong palms, and there were traces of blood on the palms.
Gu Zheng's pupils shrank, and he even smelled a hint of blood.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Xiaoying quickly thanked him, took it directly, and swallowed it in one gulp.
As the crystal core was swallowed, Xiaoying's spirit and complexion improved significantly. It was more of a tonic for her, and Gu Zheng thought that the other party was frightened and became like this.
"Uncle, where is this? Isn't it Wuyou Village?" Gu Zheng couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and asked.
"If you hadn't relied on her, how could you have forcibly broken through the space from the Guixu formation diagram to come here? Leave quickly, it's not good to stay here for a long time. Be careful of the black beasts above. Forget that they are too easy for you. Protect this little girl. For her, they are fierce beasts." The woodcutter said to Gu Zheng with a smile.
Before Gu Zheng continued to ask questions, the woodcutter became virtual like the others.
However, despite this, the other party seemed to understand the situation on both sides. He pointed to the mountain and then pointed to the bottom, as if to signal Gu Zheng to leave quickly.
"What did you eat just now?" Gu Zheng and Xiaoying walked up again, and Gu Zheng asked on the way.
"Black crystal is something that replenishes soul power and spirit. It can only be effective for us." Xiaoying answered without thinking.
"You mean for you, do you mean that the woodcutter is the same as you?" Gu Zheng's footsteps suddenly stopped and asked Xiaoying.
"Yes, everyone here is like that, but the other party looks stupid, I don't know why, and there is that illusory body, I don't know what's going on." Xiaoying said as if it was a matter of course.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Gu Zheng said with a smile, and walked towards the mountain again.
"You didn't ask, I thought you knew."
Xiaoying's answer made Gu Zheng really speechless. He really couldn't tell the difference, and really thought that the other party was formed by an illusion.
When he came to the middle of the mountain, Gu Zheng had already noticed the existence of many creatures, the black rabbit, the black bird, or the black insect, as if he had come to a black time.
"Sir, I feel that those creatures are so scary, as if they can hurt me." Xiaoying hid behind Gu Zheng, her voice trembling a little.
"With me here, they can't hurt you at all." Gu Zheng thought of the words of the woodcutter, maybe it should be to restrain them.
"Swoosh"
A black bird flew down at high speed, aiming at Xiaoying below, as if it saw something delicious, but from a long distance, a hand directly grabbed the other party.
Gu Zheng felt that the other party was not very advanced in cultivation, and was even similar to ordinary birds outside, but the speed was much faster.
With a pinch, the bird turned into a ball of black mist and dissipated in the air, which was a bit weird.
"If I take that creature back, will it hurt the people inside?" Gu Zheng looked around and said with some doubts.
"You purify the other party's hostility. As long as the other party leaves here, it will naturally not be aggressive. The woodcutter just now told me secretly when we left." Xiaoying only showed her head on Gu Zheng's shoulder, and said immediately after hearing this.
Gu Zheng heard it and grabbed it directly. A black rabbit was instantly sucked into his hand. Facing the crazy struggling rabbit, it even opened its mouth and bit its finger, but Gu Zheng didn't feel anything at all.
The other hand gently brushed the other's body. After half a cup of tea, the originally black rabbit turned white, and Gu Zheng also sensed that the other party was actually a spirit. In that crazy state, he couldn't see through it at all.
"Where is this? It's really strange?" Gu Zheng was sure that he had passed through the so-called Guixu and entered other places, but he didn't know where it was specifically. He had never heard of it.
"I don't know either. I just feel that this place seems to be as bound as I am in the scroll, just like my home." Xiaoying told the truth.
"Okay, this little rabbit has been banned by me, so there will be no danger. Let's go find the black squirrel."
Half a day later, Gu Zheng and Xiaoying came down from the hillside again. At this time, on Gu Zheng's shoulders, a white squirrel and a white rabbit stood on it honestly.
At this time, they were really like a pet and could not pose any threat at all.
When they came down, the woodcutter was still illusory and was picking up the tree he had cut down.
Gu Zheng did not bother the other party and walked back with Xiaoying.
Another day passed in this narrow passage, but this time Gu Zheng noticed something slightly different. He originally thought that it was to delay their time, but in fact it was crossing a space distance.
When they returned here, it happened to be bright, and Gu Zheng took Xiaoying directly to the house of the woman who issued the task to him.
When they arrived, they happened to see the woman who was cleaning the house.
"Sister, I found a squirrel for you." Xiaoying took the white fluffy squirrel from Gu Zheng's shoulder and flew towards the woman.
"Hey, I really didn't expect that. I just said casually that you just wanted to stay here longer. I haven't seen such a beautiful painting soul for a long time." When the woman saw the squirrel in Xiaoying's hand, she immediately said apologetically. .
"It doesn't matter. Young Master is with me. It just takes a little time. But if we want to go out, is there any other good way?" Xiaoying put the squirrel in her hand on the table next to her and asked.
"Actually, we take turns to keep these rough stones, but the person outside is a new person coming in from the outside. I don't know how to understand it, but I know that Mr. Wei who sits at the door all day likes to drink tea. If you go and give it to him I'll definitely give it to you if you want a cup of tea." The woman said with a smile, and then shouted to the back.
"Baby, come on, your eldest sister has brought you a gift. This time, please stop pestering your father."
As soon as she finished speaking, a little boy of about three years old walked directly through the back wall. When he saw the squirrel on the table, he shouted excitedly and rushed up to look at it carefully, as if he was afraid that he would crush the squirrel. Same.
"Thank you sister, this is the best gift I have ever received, thank you mom." The little boy said very happily.
"Anyway, thank you very much. I'll give you this rough stone and put it on the stone tablet outside. But you still need the other three." The woman handed the rough stone to Xiaoying and said.
"Thank you, I'll go ask."
Xiaoying said quickly after receiving it.
"Can I ask one thing? Is there anyone imprisoned here?" Xiaoying pulled Gu Zheng to leave, and Gu Zheng asked immediately.
However, after the other party heard it, he did not answer. Gu Zheng could only retreat with regret, but when he just left the door of the house, a faint voice came from inside.
"Yes, that's all I can say."
Gu Zheng paused, then continued walking outside.
"Little sister, little sister."
They had just left their house when the little boy they had seen behind them ran up behind them.
"What's wrong? Do you like the squirrel I gave you?" Xiaoying looked at the other person holding the squirrel and couldn't help laughing.
"Of course I like it, but my mother asked me to tell you secretly that you have at most one day before everything here will return to the ghost realm. If you can't get out by then, you will be trapped here."
The little boy stood on tiptoes and whispered into Xiaoying's ear.
"Thank you, I understand." Xiaoying was startled, but she still said to him.
"It's okay. Thank you for stealing this spirit body. It has been of great help to all of us. There is also the person who is also trapped here. He loves his daughter the most. She and I are good friends. You can find her. His daughter."
After the little boy said this, he immediately ran towards his home without waiting for Xiaoying to answer.
"Sir, you heard it, right? What should we do next?" Xiaoying handed the rough stone in her hand to Gu Zheng, and then asked.
"Let's go find the girl who makes tea first, and then get the other one first." Gu Zheng thought for a moment and said immediately.
"good"
Xiaoying obeyed everything Gu Zheng said, and when she saw Gu Zheng had made a decision, she immediately agreed.
The two immediately turned around and walked towards the place where they were originally invited to make tea. They now knew exactly what was in this small village.
"Isn't this the little girl you broke the toy with? Why is she sitting in the corner and starting to cry."
After turning a street, Xiaoying suddenly pointed to the front in surprise and said.
In a dark corner on the side of the house in front, the little girl from before was burying her head underneath, her little body was shaking, and she could faintly hear low sobs.
"I think the other party's things were damaged by me. As for the things you bought before, I will compensate the other party later." Gu Zheng looked at the windmill at the other party's feet that was beyond repair and said to Xiaoying.
At least after knowing that this was not a real hallucination, Gu Zheng felt a little guilty.
"I'll look for it."
Xiaoying understood what Gu Zheng meant as soon as she heard it, and quickly started looking for it, but don't take out those mortal things, as they will break faster here.
"Found it."
After waiting for a while, Xiaoying cheered and took out two magic weapons of very good quality, which were at least treasures in the eyes of immortals.
Each small flute, and a very soft multicolored stone.
"I'm sorry. My young master really didn't break your toy on purpose. This is what I'm paying you for on my young master's behalf."
Xiaoying took a few steps forward and came to the little girl. She was afraid that if the other person said another word, her whole person would be unreal, and she would not be able to communicate with the other person, so she hurriedly said.
The little girl raised her head. There were two deep tear marks on her face. It looked like she had been crying for a long time. When she saw the bright light after Xiaoying raised the magic weapon in her hand, She was instantly attracted and her eyes lit up.
"Although I look different from you, I'm just as fun. Let me help you." Before the little girl could speak, Xiaoying immediately started to demonstrate.
The multicolored stone that exudes a soft atmosphere is like a rubber, fabricating different shapes of little people, and even walking around flexibly, and as it is separated, different colors will appear, and even shine. .
Such a strange scene instantly attracted the little girl, who stared at the front with wide eyes, and even had some joy in her eyes.
"Okay, this flute is also very fun. You can play it automatically according to your mood, but don't play it in crowded places. These are all for you." Xiaoying handed the things below to the other party with one hand. Seeing that the other party was a little overwhelmed, she stuffed them directly into the other party's hands.
The things that were a little big for the little girl actually shrank the moment they touched the other party's palm, and there was a ray of light attached to it to prevent the other party from accidentally dropping it.
"Don't blame me, Gu Zheng, for this." Xiaoying clapped her hands and said.
"Give him this little rabbit too, anyway, we have no use for it." Gu Zheng also came over and put the rabbit on his shoulder on her.
This is just a spirit, and its weight is almost negligible.
The little girl looked at the things in her hand, then looked at Gu Zheng, and then left a word inaudibly and ran away.
"Thank you!"
