Chapter 1801
"Dongdong, Dongdongdong"
Gu Zheng was hiding behind a rock at this time, looking at the meat ball in front of him, like a loyal guard, wandering back and forth in front of a huge house.
He had been watching the other party for a day, but he still didn't want to leave. Even if he wasted a red crystal, the other party was indifferent.
But he didn't dare to try to lure him in person. There was no place for him to escape behind. Once he caught up, it might be a waste.
"Forget it, let's just go around from above."
In the end, Gu Zheng gave up sneaking back from behind the stone wall and retreated quietly to the back.
But when he turned around, he saw two maids holding blood-red lanterns, walking towards the attic here, and directly bumped into Gu Zheng face to face.
Shrugging his shoulders, Gu Zheng flashed to the side, stood beside, and then watched the two maids in front of him pass by, and then walked back the way he came.
And the maid didn't react to Gu Zheng at all, as if she didn't see him.
At first, the maid also scared Gu Zheng. When he just came in, he entered a room to avoid them, but the other party went straight through the door, which scared him. He subconsciously used a white crystal.
However, the other party was not affected at all, and still looked at him covetously. Under such a huge white light, he did not attack her, but looked at Gu Zheng with his eyes.
At that time, he didn't know what the other party was thinking. Seeing that the other party's face was getting more and more angry, he immediately escaped from the side, and the maid didn't chase him, which made him a false alarm.
Later, he found that as long as he hid in the room, the other party would definitely come in. As long as he went out before the other party got completely angry, the other party would not chase him. Don't block the other party's way outside, then everything will be harmonious like friends.
As for angering them, Gu Zheng was not so stupid and wanted to see how the other party exploded.
This place is actually not big. It is divided into three floors. The water surface at the bottom has nothing in it. It is also a dead end. The corridor in the middle connects various places, some small rooms, and the way to other places is also here.
The third floor is where Gu Zheng is now. This is like a larger mansion, but it is inside a cave.
The only entrance here is the attic in front of him, but there is a meat ball in front of him that completely blocks his way, leaving him helpless and unable to do anything but retreat.
Along the corridor, Gu Zheng quickly came to the second floor. There was no ghost girl here, so he could move around normally without worrying about attracting any ghosts.
He was going to go around from the side. On the side of the attic, he found a stone path filled with water, which kept flowing towards that side. However, the length of that path was relatively long, and he couldn't hold his breath and swim so far in it. If he was in the state of a demon soul, there would definitely be no problem.
Soon, according to the opponent's location, Gu Zheng came to this area, then lowered his body and slowly moved forward. There were two masked insects lying on the wall next to him. He really didn't pay attention at first. When the opponent's wings flashed, he squatted down instantly, and the opponent seemed to lose the target and quieted down.
Moreover, if your body is high enough, even if there is no sound, it will also alarm the other party, so he can only bend over and walk ahead.
After a little distance away from them, Gu Zheng continued to walk inside. He had only taken a simple look at this place before and left. At that time, he had not found the attic.
Ignoring the room next to it, going in here can also attract the maid, but he has searched it all and didn't find anything.
This time he wants to see how to get through this place.
Soon he came to the end, which is also the last room. There is a half-story high stone platform outside, and there is all water below. The water flows down from a dark hole in the sky. It is simply wishful thinking to want to block it.
And there are all stone walls next to it. It seems that there is no way to exclude the water flow.
However, Gu Zheng did not give up and began to observe carefully next to it. Unfortunately, there is no mechanism. It seems that this place is originally just a waterway.
"Plop"
After searching in vain, Gu Zheng jumped down from above to see if there were other forks in the water. However, as soon as he entered the water, his eyes suddenly lit up.
It turned out that there was a small groove at the turning point in front, which just blocked the place on the top. It was a blind spot in sight and could not be found no matter what. He could only see it by jumping down directly.
Behind the groove was a wooden board, and there was a small handle on the side, which seemed to be the mechanism to open the wooden board.
Gu Zheng swam over there immediately after seeing this. He said that this was originally a place for people to live, so how could there be no preparation for cleaning.
Soon Gu Zheng came to the handle, and then pulled it down. The wooden board in front of him turned directly to the outside, and the turbulent water flowed out from here instantly.
Gu Zheng held the handle steadily, and soon the water level dropped below his neck. Even if it was not closed above, the water level was still steadily dropping. At this time, it was enough for Gu Zheng to swim over.
However, he still waited for a while until the water flow stabilized at half his waist, then he let go of his palm and walked over there.
Although the water flow was fast at this time, he didn't need to do much to follow the current. It was enough for him to pass through, so it didn't matter if he went a little slower.
He had just taken two steps towards the waterway when suddenly a strange sound came to Gu Zheng's ears, as if something was about to come out. This made him alert and looked around, only to find two strange sounds in the water. The black shadow shot toward him quickly.
"Bang bang"
Gu Zheng couldn't dodge at this time, especially when the water behind him was still pushing him. It was more like he was taking the initiative to meet him. His figure was immediately knocked away from the water by the huge force, and directly hit the wall behind him, and then He fell into the water again with a "plop" sound.
Under the water, those tentacles were extending rapidly, rushing towards Gu Zheng, trying to catch him.
But next to it was the gap opened by Gu Zheng, and a large amount of water also flowed outwards along this side. When the opponent was about to approach, Gu Zheng's body rushed towards that side along with the current, and was washed down together. Let the other party return without success.
"Bang"
After falling from the high stone wall, Gu Zheng could only watch himself fall down in the air. Huge pain spread throughout his body, but he was unable to move at all. He could only passively sink slightly, and then floated on the water. , floating quietly.
The moment the tentacle hit him, his whole soul seemed to be frozen, and he lost control of his body. Fortunately, a lot of water had fallen down before, and there was already a shallow water tank below. Otherwise, from such a height, If you fall somewhere, your life may be at risk, or you may be seriously injured.
The water above was still leaking downwards, and the water tank below him was also rising rapidly. Soon the water flow had filled most of the water tank, and the reserved diversion had begun to continue draining the water here. , and Gu Zheng's figure also slowly floated that way along with the water waves.
Seeing Gu Zheng's body here getting closer and closer to that side, his head had already rushed outside. When his vision turned, he could see that there was a cliff dozens of feet high below. Although there was also a small river below, it was so high. Under such circumstances, if you fall, you will not survive.
The huge impact can turn him into a meat pie.
At the critical moment, Gu Zheng's legs suddenly spread apart and bent, and his feet were directly stuck on both ends of the groove, clasping his body shape and letting himself hang half in the air.
However, most of his body was already suspended outside, and the water flow was still hitting him all the time, rapidly consuming his physical strength.
"ha"
Here Gu Zheng felt that the coldness in his soul was receding rapidly, and he quickly regained control of his body. With a loud shout, he stood up again in an instant with his legs and swam towards the distance.
In one breath, he played directly towards the edge, and then his whole body jumped suddenly. After borrowing the force of the stone wall, he landed directly on the stone platform above. Then Gu Zheng lay directly on the ground without any scruples, breathing heavily.
The tentacle seemed inconspicuous, but the moment it touched him, it made him lose the power to resist. It was really terrifying.
After resting for a long time, Gu Zheng slowly stood up, dragged his wet body, looked at the water outlet above his head, and lamented that he seemed to be very unlucky, and he encountered such an unlucky period. There are obviously no tentacles under the water, but they are actually hidden underneath.
It seems that I need to pay more attention next time. If there is another ghost girl next to me, I will not be able to use anything and I will have to wait for death.
Gu Zheng here quickly entered the corridor. No matter what, it was best to leave here first.
Continue along the corridor and move forward quietly. The layout here looks similar to the one above. In fact, you can clearly see the difference, just like the difference between the side house and the main house.
However, facing the same room, Gu Zheng still went in. He had developed a habit of not letting go of a room. As soon as a small room appeared here, he entered it.
Under the illumination of candlelight, Gu Zheng could see clearly this small room. Beside a simple bed, there was a half-opened drawer under a counter, and a shining golden key was revealed on the road. It was too Not too conspicuous.
It's like a person just pulled away, but suddenly something happened, leaving this precious thing behind.
Gu Zheng did not expect that just now he was lamenting his bad luck, but in the blink of an eye he would encounter such a good thing. He happily walked forward, opened the drawer and prepared to take out the key.
There were absolutely no enemies or traps nearby. He had already determined it before. However, when he opened it, a black shadow suddenly crawled out from inside. Before Gu Zheng realized what was happening, he felt a pain in his calf, but when he looked further, he found a A black beetle bit him on his calf.
Gu Zheng quickly stretched his legs and shook them, and the opponent fell off his calf, and was crushed to pieces in the ground the next moment.
But he was not in a good mood at all, because before he crushed the opponent, the little thing was completely dead and weathered. When he opened his calf, a small black spot was found where the opponent had just bitten him. It did not hurt or itch. .
Gu Zheng also checked his body a little, but found no problems, just like the other party was an ordinary bug, but he didn't believe that the other party was just an ordinary bug.
After half a cup of tea, nothing happened to him. Gu Zheng was a little puzzled, but he still reached out and grabbed the key in his hand before walking out of the room.
"Why are you here too?"
As soon as Gu Zheng went out, he found a face full of surprise when he saw his dream come true.
"After being swept by the golden light, I was trapped here. There is no one here. I have been wandering around. I just heard some noise here. I didn't expect you to come here." Meng Zhen said to Gu Zheng, his face showing a look of surviving a disaster.
"What a coincidence. I also accidentally fell here. Am I going to be trapped here?" Gu Zheng asked directly without doubt.
"That's impossible. There is a place to go out, but the height is too high. I can't reach it at all. Are you injured?" Meng Zhen stepped forward and held Gu Zheng's shoulder and said.
"No, it's just that the physical strength is too much. It's nothing. Take me to see if I can go up." Gu Zheng took a step back and took the other's arm away from his shoulder before saying.
"Okay, come with me. If you hadn't come, I would really be trapped here." Meng Zhen turned around and led the way in front, saying.
"It's a bit dangerous outside. When you go out later, you must listen to my instructions." Gu Zheng followed behind and also instructed.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, as long as we can leave here." Meng Zhen said without looking back.
Meng Zhen seemed to have been wandering around here for a long time and was very familiar with the terrain nearby. He took Gu Zheng to an empty room after many twists and turns.
This place was very empty, but in a corner, there was a half-open gap, and the scene above could be vaguely seen.
Under the gap, tables and cabinets had been placed, but there was still some distance from the top, which was impossible for Meng Zhen, who had no cultivation.
"This place is the only gap, and I can't find it anywhere else. I tried many ways, but I was desperate in the end. I knew who could know about this place, and then I met you. It was my luck to take you with me." Meng Zhen pointed over there and said.
"That's my misfortune. I have to take care of you. No problem, I can go up to this height." Gu Zheng thought about it in his heart. If he tried his best, he should be able to reach the edge, so he said unhappily.
"Great, let's leave now, you send me up first." Meng Zhen didn't care about Gu Zheng's previous words at all, and said happily.
"Okay, eh? Wait a minute." Gu Zheng said helplessly in his heart, but he heard some movement above.
Meng Zhen also fell silent, listened carefully, and found that the sound came from the room above.
"Otherwise, you go up first, anyway, it's safe below, you can lead the other party away, or find some ropes to pull me up." Meng Zhen said until the sound faded.
"It's you anyway, wait a minute, I'm a little weak now, I have to rest." Gu Zheng walked to the side, sat directly on the ground next to him, and then leaned against the wall to rest.
"Then hurry up, I always feel something is wrong." Meng Zhen could only say so.
"By the way, I saw that the rooms were closed on the road. Is there nothing inside?" Gu Zheng thought of the key he met and said strangely.
"Yes, I searched everywhere and couldn't find it. Finally, I closed the door, so that if I need to hide, I can go in at any time. If the other party comes out of the room, I can also find it in the first time." Meng Zhen nodded and said.
"I see." Gu Zheng nodded without comment, then closed his eyes and began to recover.
"Are you not well yet?"
After half a cup of tea, Gu Zheng still did not get up, and Meng Zhen began to urge him.
"Wait a minute, I feel that now is not a good time, I need a day, anyway, it is safe here." Gu Zheng was not moved at all and spoke directly.
Meng Zhen's face darkened when he heard it, and then he kept looking at Gu Zheng, as if venting his dissatisfaction with him.
Gu Zheng didn't even open his eyelids, and then he sat on the ground comfortably, even letting go of the initial tension, like he was on vacation.
After another stick of incense, the figure of "Meng Zhen" in front of him flashed, then quickly blurred, and soon disappeared in front of Gu Zheng.
Not only him, but also the surrounding scene was changing rapidly, and soon a separate small hall appeared in Gu Zheng's eyes.
Gu Zheng then stood up and looked around. This place was more like an enlarged pavilion, with only half-man-high magnolias around it, and the pile of tables happened to be piled up at the edge. If he used the force to grab it, he would only find nothing. He rushed out.
Outside, there was a dark void.
"The poison of this thing is so strong that even I can't tell it apart."
Gu Zheng looked around and sighed. You know, the other party's speech, figure, and even body fragrance and touch are exactly the same as Gu Zheng's cognition, as if she is her real body. If the other party hadn't let it slip at the end, Gu Zheng would really jump down like a suicide as the other party said.
He exposed the wound again, but found that it no longer existed.
If you recognize a demon soul as your own, or simply can't see or feel the other party, wouldn't it be faster.
The key is real, but it is a huge trap.
At this time, Gu Zheng also recovered his strength. After going down from here, he moved towards the way back.
There were no ghosts here, which made him feel a little bit unscrupulous. He quickly turned around and tried to find something. However, he turned over most of the place and found nothing.
During this period, Gu Zheng also found a place to leave here. There was a staircase on the side that led directly to the outside. This was just the next floor of the other party.
Soon Gu Zheng walked out from here. When he walked out of the middle hall, he found that he had passed the attic in front and came to the back of the other party.
"Fortunately, although I went around in a circle, I still succeeded."
Gu Zheng said with satisfaction. When he was about to turn around and leave and continue to move forward, suddenly a golden light in his peripheral vision caught his eyes, making him turn around again and look carefully at the front.
"It seems to be gold and jade!"
Gu Zheng felt the power in it. Although it was far away, he could still vaguely distinguish it.
