Chapter 1795

Outside the corridor, under the illumination of the candlelight that was still intact, the scene next to it could be seen clearly.

The remains of wooden furniture were everywhere, almost covering the entire corridor, not to mention the room in front of Gu Zheng, where the floor was almost crushed. The only intact place was under the candlelight.

Even the several sliding doors around the house were completely destroyed by the other party.

"It's really strange."

Gu Zheng took a few steps quietly, looked at the candlelight on the side, and reached out to grab it, wanting to see how it could be ignored by the other party. Is it too hard to be damaged at all?

However, as soon as the palm touched it, it seemed as if a phantom passed through it, and it penetrated directly, without grabbing the other party at all.

"So that's it! Do you know where the other party is exactly?"

Gu Zheng realized that he was not in this space, but had some connection with this place. No wonder those ghosts could only affect its light and dark when they came over, but turned his head and whispered to the kitten next to him.

When the meatball just left, the kitten woke up from his deep sleep and asked.

"I want to rest! That dragon soul can affect me." The kitten shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and then his whole body condensed, and then turned into a small golden ball, and then rushed into Gu Zheng's arms.

"Okay, you continue to rest well." Gu Zheng didn't expect that the other party was affected by the dragon soul, so he put the other party in a hidden place inside and said to it.

This kitten helped him a lot, and in the end, in order to let Gu Zheng and the others rush out of the turbulence safely, the burst of consumption caused the other party, who had just recovered, to fall into excessive consumption again.

After sorting out his mood a little, Gu Zheng continued to move forward along the road, and at the same time, he looked at the things he had just taken out and observed them carefully.

At this time, the bright light on the thing had dissipated, and it could be seen that it was a relatively simple brass key with some complicated patterns engraved on it. It felt heavy in the hand and had a lot of weight. It was relatively advanced at first glance, and I didn't know where it was used. It was most likely to open a door that was unknown.

After a careful look, he could not see any other tricks, so Gu Zheng put the other party away first.

He moved forward carefully, lighting the candlesticks along the way one by one. After encountering the room, Gu Zheng did not hesitate and continued to go in and search through the boxes and cabinets. However, what disappointed him was that he did not find anything after nearly a whole day. Only then did he realize how unlucky he was at the beginning. If it were not for the final impulse, he would still not get anything.

It seems that the greater the risk, the greater the gain.

Although he did not know how to use this key, he knew that this thing was definitely a good thing. Maybe it was used to open something. He always felt that this key would not appear here for no reason.

Or, those things that appeared in it might be the key to their passage, or some places could help them.

Of course, this was just Gu Zheng's own idea. It might be useless, or useful but not useful.

At this time, he had not reached the end of this area, and he had to avoid the patrolling ghosts from time to time. The speed was really slow, but he would not take risks even if he was anxious.

The only thing that comforted him was that with the dragon soul on him, he found that the other party was still slowly replenishing himself. At least he didn't have to worry about running out of energy for a while, which made him more patient to look for it.

For three whole days, at his snail's pace, without any rest time, he barely figured out this area roughly, without any useful information. After turning around, he continued to walk in another direction.

"Dingling"

Just arrived at an unfamiliar intersection, except for the road he came from, it was still pitch black. A sound that seemed to be soul-calling came from the front again, making him stop immediately, listen to the other party's movements, and prepare to change direction and go around.

But when he had just taken two steps, there was another head-numbing sound in front, and he had no choice but to retreat again.

Gu Zheng slowly walked towards the third passage. He didn't believe that there would be ghosts here. What reassured him was that there were no ghosts.

As he slowly went deeper and explored the terrain, he lit a few candles to check the nearby rooms. The candlelight in the distance behind him flickered, and at the same time, two bells rushed into his ears, which made his idea fall through.

"So unlucky, two of them came together."

Gu Zheng continued to walk inside while complaining. He would rather bypass them than hide inside, because on the way to find some, the door he had closed was opened by someone, which also meant that the other party might go to the room to check. If he happened to come to the place where he was hiding, wouldn't it be a turtle in a jar?

He had encountered it once before. Fortunately, there were doors on both sides of the room. When the other party came in and was about to push the door, Gu Zheng quietly pushed the other one open, and waited until the other party left before returning. The other party didn't notice it at all.

You know, although some rooms can lead to the opposite side, there is only one entrance. Obviously, the few nearby ones are like this, which is not a good place to hide.

Now he has roughly figured out the routine of the ghost girls. Although there are more of them, as long as he is not surrounded by several of them, he can still avoid them. The most important thing is to avoid them when they don't ring the bell. At that time, you can only rely on the candlelight to find them.

If it is in the dark, unless you are lucky, the other party is far away from you. If you meet them at the corner, it will be the biggest danger.

At this distance, Gu Zheng speeds up his pace a little, but the other party still can't detect his existence, and soon he will be slightly away from the other party.

And Gu Zheng turned here and prepared to bypass from the other side. Of course, the candles along the way must be lit. This is a good thing to be really vigilant.

After turning twice, the bell can no longer be heard. Gu Zheng's heart has not relaxed yet. The sound of the meatball running can be heard in his ears again. The other party is moving quickly outside him.

"Damn guy."

Gu Zheng muttered in his heart, then slowed down his pace and prepared to find a room to hide from the other party first.

To deal with this guy, it is better to be safe, otherwise if the other party rushes to where you are, there is no time to react and he will be discovered by the other party.

He walked directly to the passage on the side. Although it was pitch black, Gu Zheng had no worries at all, because he found that there must be a room in each passage.

"Huh? Is it a dead end?"

There was no candlelight in this passage. When Gu Zheng walked to the bottom, he found that there was a vague wooden wall in front of him, and there was indeed a small room on his side. When he was about to return, the huge running sound behind him became more intense, as if it was walking nearby.

After hesitating for a while, Gu Zheng still did not go out and hid in the small room next to him.

The room was empty, but there was a candle in the middle, which was very strange.

After lighting the candle, he waited until the sound outside faded away before coming out to leave.

However, as soon as he came out, he subconsciously looked at the dead end. Through the hazy light, he found that there were strange patterns on the end of this dead end, which made him light up the crystal again to take a closer look.

But when his light shone, he found that the pattern had disappeared, and it was just an ordinary wooden wall. When he reached out and touched it, there was no difference at all.

Waiting for Gu Zheng to dim his light, under the illumination of the candlelight, the mysterious pattern appeared again, but the light was too dim, and it seemed that the pattern was a little unclear, but it could be seen that they all gathered in the middle part, and there was a round hole like a keyhole.

"What a coincidence?"

Gu Zheng took his key and looked at the pattern on it. It seemed vaguely similar to this one, but it was too blurry in front of him, and he was not sure, but he still picked up the key and inserted it into the hole.

"Ka Ka"

Two very slight sounds rang in the air, and Gu Zheng's key also entered smoothly, which made him happy. He was looking forward to what was behind it. It was hidden in such a secret place. If you don't look carefully, you really can't find it. After all, the range illuminated by the candlelight is too vague.

If there hadn't been a meatball behind him, even if Gu Zheng had opened the door next to him and saw that it was empty, he would not have lit the candle and would have left. He would not have discovered this strange place.

Gu Zheng gently turned the key and slowly turned it half a circle along with the force. He could clearly hear the sound of the mechanism inside being opened, but Gu Zheng's arm got stuck halfway and it seemed that he could not turn it at all. At the same time, the wooden wall in front of him suddenly shook violently and made a huge noise.

The pattern on the wooden wall suddenly lit up, and at the same time a huge force came. Gu Zheng's figure instantly flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

The wooden wall was still rumbling, and the key that Gu Zheng had turned half a circle was slowly returning to its original state.

But Gu Zheng didn't have time to look. He got up and ran quickly outside without stopping for a moment.

The short passage was almost rushed through quickly, and he rushed directly into the other party's passage, and then opened a sliding door and hid inside.

Just as he closed the door, the vibration of the door also stopped abruptly, but a clearer vibration came from afar and rushed into the tunnel.

A huge sound of breaking the door came into Gu Zheng's ears, followed by several huge collision sounds, as if the meat ball was hitting the wooden wall.

"Hua La"

The "bang bang" sound in the air suddenly stopped, followed by a huge breaking sound, and the meat ball walked away.

Gu Zheng felt his heartbeat and was still suppressing his breathing. Even his body was behind the door, and he didn't even hide inside, for fear of causing any movement and attracting the meat ball close at hand.

For half a cup of tea, there was silence outside, but he didn't move at all, and he was still waiting, because the meat ball seemed to have broken the wooden wall and didn't come back.

But he didn't hide to let Gu Zheng wait for more time. Soon there was a familiar vibration sound outside again, and soon the meat ball rolled away again, and soon left here.

Gu Zheng then came out from this side, continued to light up the lights and walked towards the opposite passage.

When they walked inside, they found that the original wooden wall had been violently broken by the meatball, revealing a small path leading to an unknown place. In the small room next to it, it was also attacked by the other party, and even the candlelight was broken by the other party. It was incredible.

Gu Zheng picked up a section of the support under the candlelight. It felt like some kind of cloth, but the hardness was amazing. Could it be that this candlelight was not hidden in the void like the previous one?

He didn't know, maybe it had something to do with the wooden wall. He looked inside again. At this time, there was a candlelight every few meters inside, illuminating the passage. It was easy to see that there were stone walls on both sides, and the top of the head was less than ten feet away. It seemed to be a hidden passage leading to another place.

Gu Zheng carefully crossed the debris underground to avoid accidentally stepping on it and making a sound, and continued to walk inside. No matter what, this place was so weird, he had to take a look. Maybe Meng Zhen was trapped inside.

Speaking of which, even though Gu Zheng had some psychological preparation at this time, he still never expected that the meatball would be so violent that it could even break the solid mechanism here.

Just after taking two steps, a flash of golden light flashed underground, causing him to stop again. He bent down and picked up the key hidden in the fragments. He didn't expect that the key would be safe and sound under the attack, which was beyond his expectations. However, it was just right to put it away, maybe it could be used again.

Slowly moving forward along this passage, you can see the traces left by the meatball on the side, but the opponent can't penetrate such a hard stone wall at all. Instead, there are more broken stones on the ground where the opponent vented his anger.

At first, he walked slowly, because he was always alert to any mechanism in front or around. After an incense stick of time, it was still the same scene. Thinking that the meatball took so long, it would be a waste of time for him to go step by step, so he quickened his pace and strode forward, while also being alert to the surroundings.

After an incense stick of time, just when Gu Zheng thought there was no end here, a different change finally appeared in front of him.

Around the wall next to it, rows of candles were closely arranged, and in front of it was a spacious cave.

Gu Zheng was refreshed, and then walked in to see what was in this place.

In this cave, most of it was empty, except for the candles, there was only a big smiley mask hanging on the opposite wall.

The smile was so obvious that even Gu Zheng's mouth corners were slightly raised when he looked closely, as if he had encountered something happy. But he didn't notice it at all, as if he couldn't feel himself, and walked straight forward with his eyes a little dull.

Under the smiley mask, there was a red table. On the blood-red surface, there was an exquisite box, but it had been opened at this time. With the help of the golden jade inside, a golden round jade lay quietly inside. Under the soft light on it, Gu Zheng's eyes slowly regained clarity.

He subconsciously took two steps back in an instant, looking at the front in a bit of shock. At this time, the big smiley face had disappeared, leaving only the box.

Just now, when he looked at the smiling face, he instantly lost consciousness. He didn't know what happened at all. He didn't know how he got here, and he didn't understand why this thing woke him up again, as if he wanted to notice it.

After calming down a little, Gu Zheng went forward to check. At least he could see that this place had no ill intentions for him.

The golden light in front of him also slowly fell. What surprised him was that a smiling face appeared on the smooth surface of the round jade. Under Gu Zheng's gaze, it slowly disappeared.

The box below also made a light "click" sound, and something popped out from the side of the box and rushed towards Gu Zheng. The speed was not fast, and he subconsciously caught it in the air.

This is a round plate that is a circle larger than Gu Zheng's palm. It is made of a kind of mahogany around it. Circles of patterns are wrapped around it, and in the middle, it is indeed as transparent as glass, and you can clearly see what is below.

There was nothing underneath, only a red dot in the center of the circle, and a small red circle outside that contained it, and a large circle at the edge, and between the large and small circles were some symbols that Gu Zheng couldn't understand, arranged in disorder.

Before he could take another look, a new change occurred in front of him.

The round jade in front of him slowly rose from inside, suspended in front of Gu Zheng, and he looked at it again.

Gu Zheng stretched out his other hand and grabbed the round jade in front of him. Then he was dazed, and found himself standing in front of a wooden wall, next to which was the wooden sliding door that was disassembled by the ball.

He was sent back to the place where he first entered.

"What does it mean?"

Gu Zheng looked at the wooden wall in front of him, completely blocking the way, as if the road behind it was just his illusion.

He came out, but the golden round jade was still in his hand and did not disappear. It was not an illusion at all. At this moment, streams of warm currents seemed to come out from the round jade, making Gu Zheng feel warm. The cold air that had always existed around him could not get close to Gu Zheng's body at all.

After thinking for a while, Gu Zheng still hadn't figured out this thing. Now it was just like an ordinary golden round jade, but the shape of the other side seemed to be able to be placed somewhere.

Gu Zheng took the other disc and compared it slightly, and found that the shape of the small circle was so gentle.

Thinking of this, he first retreated to this passage, hid himself in the next room for his own safety, and then prepared to experiment.

"Tick-tock"

As Gu Zheng put the golden round jade in the middle and put it in perfectly, the golden light on the golden round jade shone again, slowly penetrated into the inside through the outer layer, and then a very low sound rose inside the disc.

A golden pointer actually appeared from the bottom, and then began to rotate rapidly inside, and the pattern inside also flashed and lit up.

After more than ten breaths, the golden pointer finally pointed firmly to the upward direction, as if indicating a direction.

But before Gu Zheng could figure out what the other party was pointing at, a purple needle, less than one-third the size of the golden needle, suddenly stretched out from below. It also circled around and pointed in a completely different direction from the golden needle.

"This is Meng Zhen's aura!"

Gu Zheng looked at the purple needle. Compared with the golden needle, which had no aura at all, there was Meng Zhen's aura on it, as if telling him the other party's location.
