Chapter 1794

"Click"

As the blue crystal in Gu Zheng's hand was inlaid on the wooden door in front of him, the wooden door in front of him opened automatically, revealing a room entirely made of wood.

However, this place is very different from the place Gu Zheng saw before. It seems to be a real room, with bookcases, tables, chairs, and beds. In the candlelight surrounding it, you can clearly see the entire layout of the room. .

Just as Gu Zheng was observing, a red stone slowly appeared on the originally empty table, and red light flashed across the surface, making it impossible to ignore.

Apart from that, there was nothing but the slight crackling sound of the burning candle.

"Creak"

Gu Zheng took a step forward and wanted to take the stone with similar effects, but as soon as he walked away, there was an obvious wooden groaning sound under his feet, which made him frown a little. The sound was even worse than the last time. Xiang, coupled with the fact that the same cultivation level is banned, I am afraid I have to be even more careful.

After picking up the red stone, Gu Zheng walked directly towards the only exit, pushed the door open, and revealed the scene outside.

This is a corridor entirely made of wood. There are several lit candles next to it. The candles are as tall as half a person, and there are things that look like white candles burning on them. Although the weak candles are not very bright, they are It's still enough to illuminate a small area around you, so that you can't see anything in the distance.

In front of him is a sliding door that has been pushed open, revealing a room with the same debris inside. However, these sliding doors look very thin, like a layer of white paper, and a blurry scene can be vaguely seen through it.

This should be the trace left by Mengzhen. When she enters the other party's place, anything she has done will be left behind.

But now that the other party has been captured, it may not be correct to follow the other party's route. After all, although Meng Zhen was captured, he will not stay where he was captured.

In other words, not only did he have to find the place where the other party was imprisoned, but he also had to find a place to leave here, and he also had to deal with such ghosts on the way.

There is no chance this time. Once caught by the other party, he may be really dead.

Thinking of this, Gu Zheng sighed, and then walked to the side. No matter what, he had to touch the nearby terrain first, otherwise he would be blind.

Then he slowed down his pace and touched to one side.

Fortunately, the surrounding areas were all lit up by Meng Zhen, and because of her actions, there didn't seem to be any enemies here, and the whole world seemed to be just an ancient struggle.

Along with his slight breathing, Gu Zheng continued to move forward while maintaining his strength.

The last failure was due to lack of physical strength. After all, these demon souls, even if they have no cultivation, do not need to eat or drink, and they are not tired. However, Gu Zheng has no cultivation here. Under the interference here, the recovery speed of physical strength is simply It was frighteningly slow, and without replenishment, the physical strength could only drop a little bit.

Even if he is different from ordinary people, it is impossible for him to be without consumption.

Time is very precious to him.

The only thing that puzzles Gu Zheng is that all the rooms here have been opened by the other party. At a glance, he can see through several passages, because between the passages and passages, except for the wooden walls, there are these houses.

There were some storable things, cabinets, and other things inside. Mengzhen went through them all, as if he was looking for something. This reminded him of the rope in her hand that forced her to come up. According to her, it was from the first place. Things dug out from the archways on the first floor.

But so many people have not found it down there. Is there really something that can help hidden here, or is it hidden too deep? After people outside have not found it, fewer and fewer people will give up looking for it, and it will spread over time.

Gu Zheng's thoughts were circulating, and after he had a clear idea of ​​his area, he began to walk towards the distance.

This place is not infinitely large. The place where the ancient battle appeared is actually an edge. There is no way to the back at all, and the shape is at least not square, because where he is, he has already appeared. There are several dead ends, twists and turns without any rules.

"Deng Deng Deng"

Gu Zheng had just left this area, and he could clearly hear the sound of fast running in the distance, but the sound did not come from this direction. The other party seemed to be crossing the front sideways, and soon the dense footsteps disappeared. .

"It's a meat ball!"

Gu Zheng waited until the other party left before continuing to move. He did not expect that the environment here also had some advantages for him. At least this big guy could clearly feel the direction of the other party.

This meat ball is the second enemy encountered in the archway below. It is fat and fat. When it moves, it rolls like a big ball. It will occasionally stop to look around and listen to nearby movements, but its eyesight is extremely poor. His hearing is extremely strong. He can hear the slightest movement and immediately pursue it.

In the past, most of Gu Zheng's physical strength was exhausted by the opponent. However, there was a heavy stone gate before, and the opponent seemed to be basically unable to enter, but here.

Gu Zheng looked at the thin sliding doors around him. He was afraid that the other party could break through them with any attack.

Soon, Gu Zheng came to a crossroads. At this time, it was on the left. The middle part was a little dark, but there were some lights flickering in the distance, slightly illuminating the surrounding scene. It seemed that this should be the direction Meng Zhen was heading.

In front and on the right, it was pitch black, a place no one had explored.

Looking around, Gu Zheng hesitated, not knowing how to go next, because the meatball must have passed by there not far ahead. Of course, with the speed of the other party's movement, it is not ruled out that it has left there long ago.

For them, it doesn't matter how complicated this place is. Each of them is not an ordinary person. As long as they pass through it once, it will be very clear in their minds, just like a map. They draw the route on it and don't have to worry about getting lost.

Even where there are things and what the terrain nearby is like, they are all clear, and they will never take the initiative to walk into a dead end, but all this is based on passing through it once. If not, who knows where the front leads to.

But before he made a choice, someone had already made a choice for him. While he was still hesitating, the candlelight in the distance on the left suddenly flickered, and then began to flicker wildly, as if something terrible was coming, and even the light could not exist.

But for Gu Zheng, it was more like a warning. He suddenly remembered the red crystal in his hand that he had never used. Although there was a candle not far away, it also illuminated this place, but it also lit up at the same time, which immediately brightened the dim places around.

Looking at the bright light around, he closed the red crystal in his hand again, and then quietly walked into the darkness on the right.

Even if it was pitch black, Gu Zheng was not worried. At least with his speed, it didn't matter if he hit the wall. What's more, there was no debris in the passage except the candle.

And he walked backwards in the middle, his eyes were on the increasingly dim candle in the distance.

After Gu Zheng had just walked a short distance, the candle suddenly dimmed. After a few breaths, a red light emerged from the passage in front of the candle, and soon a ghost girl he was very familiar with appeared in front of him.

Still dressed exactly the same as before, still floating slightly in the air, the only difference was that the bell in his hand did not ring, as if she was resting.

Gu Zheng did not stop moving. His movements made almost no sound. It would be fine as long as the other party did not come over by chance.

But it was just so coincidental that the ghost girl turned around and walked towards Gu Zheng. Her heart-moving face still had a half-smile, which made people feel creepy.

"Damn it!"

Gu Zheng cursed inwardly, then moved closer, stretched out his hand, and began to feel the wall gently, but all he touched was a cold wooden wall, and there was no push door at all.

He planned to quietly open the door and hide in. If the other party did not know his existence, it was very likely that he would not break in. It was much safer than staying in the passage outside, but he did not expect that there was no push door next to him.

The ghost girl over there was still walking towards this side slowly, still patrolling aimlessly. What made Gu Zheng relieved was that the other party did not seem to have discovered him, but he was already nervous.

He had to be nervous. At this time, if he was caught, he and Meng Zhen would be finished.

The other party seemed to be walking slowly, but in fact, it was about the same speed as a normal person. Soon, it came to the intersection where Gu Zheng was struggling at first. It turned around and prepared to walk towards the path that Gu Zheng had taken at first, and the candles around it also went out.

This made Gu Zheng happy. It seemed that he was right not to retreat because he thought that the other party had not come there for a long time.

However, the other party's figure suddenly stagnated, as if he had noticed something, and his walking figure immediately stopped, which made Gu Zheng's heart tighten again.

"Dingling"

The ghost girl raised her hands, and the bell in her hand also flashed red. She shook the bell in her hand suddenly, making a pleasant bell sound. Under the reflection of the surrounding wooden walls, it had a hint of tail sound.

At the same time, the red crystal in Gu Zheng's palm actually emitted a faint light, illuminating Gu Zheng's body, like a small shield, covering him.

Gu Zheng discovered through the faint light that very weak waves were rushing past him without blind spots, as if they were exploring the surrounding information. The light that rose up autonomously this time just protected Gu Zheng, so that the other party did not notice his existence at all.

"Ding Ling"

The ghost girl shook the bell and began to walk away, and the candlelight along the way gradually revived as she left, illuminating the surroundings again.

"It was a close call, it was a close call"

Gu Zheng felt the cold sweat on his body, and the ringing in his ears was almost inaudible. He breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't expect that the other party had this trick. If it weren't for the crystal stone in his hand taking the initiative, he would definitely be noticed by the other party, and it would be dangerous at that time.

Although he survived this crisis, Gu Zheng knew that the next one might be more dangerous. It was far from easy to leave, and of course he couldn't relax.

He lit up the surrounding light again, and found that there was a towering candlestick next to him. He immediately stood up and moved the light in his hand over.

The moment it came into contact with the candle-like thing above, a soft candlelight rose from the side, illuminating the surroundings.

This thing not only drove away the darkness, but in a sense, it could also warn Gu Zheng of the enemy's movements. It was really a good thing.

And the ghost didn't seem to notice it, and it wouldn't destroy it at all, which added another layer of protection.

The candlelight illuminated the surroundings, and I saw a room two steps ahead, but the door was still closed, and I had no idea what was inside.

Gu Zheng was originally going to leave here, but for some reason, he pushed the door open and walked in, because he thought that Meng Zhen would come in to search, so he couldn't waste this useless effort. If there was something inside, it would be perfect, and it seemed that there were no ghosts in the room.

Unlike Meng Zhen, when Gu Zheng came in, he closed the door as soon as he came in. Although he couldn't see outside at the first time, he couldn't be seen outside either.

With the help of the light in his hand, Gu Zheng looked around. This was obviously a large room, as if four rooms were connected together, but there were only four doors on the left and right sides.

Next to it, there were many things distributed in no regular pattern, including tables and cabinets, but most of them had fallen on the ground, giving people a very messy feeling.

Gu Zheng walked a few more steps, and his eyes lit up. He didn't expect that there was a candle inside. He went forward and lit it again, filling the room with a faint light. Although it was still dim in the distance, it was enough for Gu Zheng to put away the light in his hand and check it out.

First of all, of course, some of the cabinets that might hide things had been scattered, revealing some blackened clothes inside, and he opened the cabinets that were easy to open one by one, but there was either nothing inside, or some smelly clothes, and some things that couldn't be seen. As for what Gu Zheng wanted to find, there was none.

After a while, he opened all the cabinets that could be easily opened outside, and as expected, he was not disappointed. There was nothing.

Gu Zheng didn't care. He couldn't find what he expected. He didn't expect his luck to be so good.

When he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a cabinet pressed on the ground, but there was also a heavy table pressed on it, which he had ignored just now, and now he couldn't walk.

He looked around again, and basically nothing was missed. He thought he had found everything, but there was only one thing left, which made him a little entangled.

"Forget it, it's just a little time."

Gu Zheng was determined and came to the table, ready to open the last thing. If he didn't open it, he would feel a little bit of a loss, even if it was empty, he wouldn't have to worry about it.

"Zi La"

As Gu Zheng slowly took the table away, the friction sound with the floor suddenly sounded. The harsh friction sound made Gu Zheng stop a little, the sound was a little too loud.

"Can't stop, if the other party hears it, he will definitely come over."

Gu Zheng originally wanted to move slowly, but suddenly remembered that the other party's hearing was so good, it was very likely that he had already discovered the situation here. What made him more determined was that in the gap that was leaked, a touch of golden light was unusually conspicuous.

"Bang Dang"

Gu Zheng immediately stopped caring and put the table aside with all his strength. Even the floor next to it shook violently. Without any hesitation, he rushed up and quickly opened the three lower ones. When the last layer was opened, a golden key appeared in front of Gu Zheng.

Without saying a word, he grabbed it and quickly opened the sliding door. Then he smashed the small wooden block that had been prepared long ago towards the sliding door.

The fragile sliding door cracked directly into a big hole, and the wooden block that passed through it bounced on the ground a few times, making a huge sound.

At the same time, Gu Zheng gently opened the sliding door opposite, then extinguished the light in his hand, and then did not walk any more. He sat down slowly against the wooden wall, less than ten feet away from the entrance.

Even though his chest was a little excited, he tried hard to suppress it, because at this time the rumbling vibration was about to come here.

The candlelight outside flickered, and finally suddenly went out, causing the last faint light in front of Gu Zheng to disappear, and he fell into darkness completely.

"Hua La"

A sound of breaking through the door came to Gu Zheng's ears, and then a bigger vibration came from the side, and there was also the sound of broken wood, and even a few broken wood flew from the opposite side and smashed directly into Gu Zheng's room, making a huge sound, making him even subconsciously hold his breath.

This scene lasted for half a cup of tea, and the meatball finally left the room and stood in the passage outside. Gu Zheng could even hear the other party's heavy breathing. He could imagine that nothing in that room would exist intact.

"Bang"

I don't know what the other party is doing there. The door far away from Gu Zheng broke in an instant, and a short arm reached in from the void. His body stiffened instantly, and he even felt that the blood on his face stopped flowing.

Fortunately, the other party seemed to be just venting randomly and had no intention of coming in. Soon, he left here again with a rumble, causing Gu Zheng, who was already holding his breath, to slowly fall down.

When the sound completely disappeared, Gu Zheng slowly stood up. Unconsciously, his back was soaked with cold sweat. If the other party came in, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to run. It was too scary.

Until now, Gu Zheng felt his whole body swelling up and his blood boiling again.

The meatball gave people real despair, because the other party was too fast and powerful. On the first floor, Gu Zheng saw many stone doors being broken by the other party, and even at some corners, they were smashed by the other party.

The ghost girl is very strange. When she appears, there is a cold breath that constantly affects you. In addition, the effect of the bell can make you unable to think and fall directly under the influence of the other party.

In contrast, Gu Zheng is more willing to face the ghost girl. At least the other party's speed is not too fast, and although the action is silent, the bell in his hand is a big flaw. As long as he is not hit head-on by the other party, it is still easy to avoid it.

And once he accidentally hits her, it is relatively easy to get rid of her. The other party has average hearing and average vision. Even in this place, Gu Zheng thinks that as long as she breaks a few more push doors, he will probably lose his trace.

After a short rest, Gu Zheng walked out of the room.
