Chapter 1900
Looking at Huaying's figure going away, Gu Zheng also hurriedly followed and retreated outside.
The old man's cultivation was at least at the peak of Daluo. When he appeared, there was no sign at all. He even thought that he might have been discovered by the other party when he approached this place.
It was only because of Huaying that he did not show up until they approached this place.
Thinking of this, he was already sweating profusely. He thought that his plan was perfect, but it was useless in the face of absolute strength.
Fortunately, his identity here did not make the other party suspicious, and with Huaying on him, it made the other party misunderstand.
If he really relied on the black tower, he would probably have to keep at least half his life to get out.
While thinking about his mistakes, Gu Zheng and Huaying soon came to the residential area before. Huaying, who was originally moving forward, suddenly stopped, and Gu Zheng immediately stopped when he saw it.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Huaxin tilted his head and looked at Gu Zheng.
"I was just bored and walked around to see what was here." Gu Zheng really didn't know how to explain. Although this little guy was small, he was not stupid. He barely made up an excuse.
"Huh? Do I believe it? Why don't you ask how long I, Huaying, have been here? That old man won't appear here, so don't make excuses."
Sure enough, Huaying looked at Gu Zheng as if he was a fool when she heard Gu Zheng's excuse, and said with disdain.
"Well, actually I'm just curious why the palace city is blocked. I got a message from Gucheng that a strange demon soul was caught by the other party. I was very curious. You know, our Huan Clan has a special ability, but it's not enough to just change the appearance."
"If you want to grasp the other party's core, you have to at least contact the other party. The longer the time, the greater the chance of obtaining it, and the stronger our strength will be. This is why I can't wait to come and take a look. I didn't expect the protection here to be so strict."
Gu Zheng had thought of a perfect explanation in this little time. Only in this way could he reasonably explain his actions. Even if the old man heard it, it didn't matter.
He admired himself. Fortunately, he found a person from the Illusion Clan, which was perfect.
"So that's how it is. No wonder you came here secretly. But since you are the one that Sister Meng Zhen loves, you can definitely ask her to help you. It's a pity that I am of the Hua generation. It will take a long time for me to become a Meng generation when I grow up. Otherwise, I would have helped you." Huaying said with some regret.
"I didn't expect you to have such potential. Congratulations." Gu Zheng didn't say it, but just flattered.
The highest among them is the Meng generation, followed by the Hua generation, and then the Huan generation. However, as long as they are female Huahun, they are at least the Hua generation. Only when they cultivate to become human souls, they will automatically become the Meng generation, such as Huaying, her name is Mengying.
However, if they don't break through, they will always be the Hua generation. As for the elders, they are all one level higher, represented by numbers. The closer they are, the stronger they are.
"Hehe, of course, everyone knows that I am recognized as the next Mengying." Huaying smiled with her mouth wide open, so happy, as if she had seen her become a respected Mengying.
"Look at you guys, you often play here? Aren't you afraid that someone will pursue you?" Gu Zheng didn't go back so quickly, just to get some information from the side.
No matter how mature this Huaying pretends to be, it's a pity that in Gu Zheng's eyes, she is still like a child, and the other party will not be suspicious.
"Hehe, no one will pursue it at all. Originally, that place is a place for us to play, and the residence of the king is behind it. Otherwise, you think there is no one guarding it. Only every once in a while, someone helps to repair and clean it. It's too boring here, and the elders don't allow us to go out, so we can only do this." Huaying said with some pride.
She is a frequent visitor here, often pulling others to play here.
"By the way, aren't you curious? We can sneak over there. Anyway, if we are caught, we will be confined for a while at most." Suddenly Huaying's eyes lit up and said to Gu Zheng.
Since she finally managed to come out under the cover of other partners, she would have a good time.
"How can we get there? The old man Xu you mentioned is so powerful. Even if he is not there, there are still two guards. You and I can't afford it." Gu Zheng shook his head and said.
Before the old man came, he was ready to retreat. The two guards were demon souls, the most trusted subordinates of Wen Tianhou. They didn't need to eat or drink, nor did they need other people to change guards. As long as they were willing to stand there for thousands of years, there would be no problem.
He was not sure that he could sneak in under the other party's nose. He needed to go back and plan carefully and find a safe way. However, the appearance of the old man made him completely give up the idea. He knew that the other party was not a simple demon soul. He had no confidence in hiding from the other party.
Now he thought that he could only use the black tower to risk entering the other party's place again. Although the black tower could reach there accurately and directly through the connection of weapons, the fluctuation was too large and it was easy to be detected by the other party. Once the other party was prepared, he could not take Xiaoying away at all.
This was his last resort, but when he heard Huaying's words, although he said that, his heart was actually full of expectations. From the look of the other party, it seemed that there was some way to get around it.
"You don't have to look at how long I've been here in Huaying. There's a passage that can go around a long time ago. It's never been used. If you're not afraid, I'll show you around." Huaying said proudly.
"You'll know if you're bragging or not." Gu Zheng said deliberately.
"Just take a look, but that place is not here. Come with me." Huaying said immediately, refusing to admit defeat, and immediately flew away in the direction of leaving here.
Gu Zheng followed Huaying back more than half the distance, getting closer and closer to the mountains on the side. When he thought that the opponent would make a hole in a hidden place, Huaying stopped and led him into a very strange place. Ordinary room.
This room is not much different from other rooms, it is even some distance away from the edge. The only difference is that there are very few clutter inside, as if they were placed here deliberately and randomly.
"We are not that stupid. If we dig it out outside, the other party will soon discover that there is a simple magic circle all over the outside. If we go there, the other party will know it immediately, but before the other party gets it, We've already dug a tunnel to get there."
Without waiting for Gu Zheng to ask, Huaying explained on her own. By the way, she groped on the ground in the corner, then grabbed something and pulled it up. She pulled up a stone slab, revealing a dark hole.
"Let's go. Only in this way will the other party not be able to find out. Anyway, those cleaning people won't pay attention to this. Don't use your soul power to avoid attracting their attention."
Huaying smiled at Gu Zheng, and then jumped directly.
Gu Zheng did not hesitate. After listening to the other party's words, it seemed that this was not the first time he had done this. He jumped down and covered the stone slab with it.
The cave was not deep underground, but the tunnel dug was extremely wide, enough for Gu Zheng to stand upright and walk inside.
The dark passage was not an obstacle. Huaying quickly led the way without worrying that Gu Zheng would not be able to keep up.
In just half a cup of tea, Gu Zheng climbed up from a deep hole. The surrounding area suddenly disappeared, and a large space appeared in front of him.
"You did this?"
Gu Zheng looked around and could see the rough excavation marks on the edges. It was obvious that the expansion had not been completely completed.
"Of course, we can now use our power slightly. The magic circle outside also provides us with a lot of conveniences. As long as there is not much movement, we can't find it outside." Huaying said proudly.
Of course Gu Zheng understood what the other party meant. They had already started planning for this place. Wen Tianhou didn't even notice that in the mountain range next to him that he thought was safe, a road was opened by the other party. He must have used it. He didn't know the method, otherwise he wouldn't have concealed it so easily.
"Where should we go next? Is this the only place?"
Gu Zheng looked around, his expression slightly exaggerated, which made Huaying feel even more proud, and then asked.
With this little time, he did not see any passages leading to other places, and according to his estimation, these two locations were actually on the same level as that room, and were still far away from the back. They It's impossible to dig a passage directly into it.
"Of course not. This is where we usually hide and seek, and there are many key points nearby that cannot be hit. Next, you have to rely on me."
As Huaying spoke, she walked towards the corner. When she got closer, she raised her hand, and the picture scroll that belonged to her lit up with green light, and hung on the wall in front of her like a framed picture.
"Follow up quickly!"
The painting waved to Gu Zheng, and she entered the world in the painting. As ripples flashed on the surface of the painting, her figure disappeared into the cave.
When Gu Zheng saw this, he did not hesitate and followed him directly. He also walked into the scroll. He did not think that the other party would harm him, otherwise he would not have brought him to such a hidden place. Obviously, relying on Meng Zhen's identity as the heartthrob , enough to make the other party believe in yourself.
Even if she wanted to trap him and catch him for some fun, she simply couldn't do it with her strength.
As his eyes flashed, Gu Zheng discovered that he had arrived at another cave. This cave was much smaller than before. There were several passages beside it, and he didn't know where they led.
Huaying was standing nearby. When she saw Gu Zheng coming over, she stretched out her hand to grab it, and her scroll returned to her hand again.
This time Gu Zheng had no idea where he was. The other party relied on this to avoid detection, and then opened up hidden passages in some safe places. It was really amazing.
Although Wen Tianhou himself is definitely not in charge here, it is really admirable that Wen Tianhou's core subordinates did not find out, and it was a group of them who got through it like a joke.
Seeing Gu Zheng's surprised look, Hua Ying felt extremely proud. With a small hand, she directly directed Gu Zheng to follow him and walk towards the passage next to him.
Gu Zheng was also very obedient, following his opponent like a big follower.
After several turns of the opponent, Gu Zheng didn't know where he had arrived. When Hua Ying's face was full of exhaustion, they finally walked out of a cave.
The cave is only one foot in size, and even the path out is very narrow. Huaying can barely get out, but Gu Zheng's physique cannot get through at all.
"No, the other party will notice it, so don't make any big moves." Huaying saw Gu Zheng trying to change his body shape and immediately stopped him in a low voice.
"I can't get out!"
Gu Zheng knew the other party's worries. They had already reached the real rear of Wen Tianhou, and the defense was very tight. In fact, even if he crawled in this narrow cave, the unknown danger was like thorns, pricking his temples. Incomparable.
"Come in here, I will take you, but you must not come out. Your body will be noticed as soon as you appear here." Huaying pointed to the scroll in his hand, indicating to Gu Zheng to go in.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Zheng did not resist the weak suction coming from the scroll, and his whole body turned into a ray of light and blended in. Gu Zheng's figure suddenly appeared on the small scroll.
Then Huaying put the scroll on top of his head, so that Gu Zheng could see the outside scene clearly, and it would be more convenient to contact him, and then he crawled out of the gap.
Although Gu Zheng was hidden inside and could not use his consciousness to look outside, and could only rely on his eyes to look around, but when he came out, he could clearly feel that the connection was instantly tight.
"The cave at the bottom left in the distance!" Gu Zheng said in the picture scroll, and he knew that the picture could hear his words.
"Okay, be careful! Don't let out any breath, otherwise we will be discovered in an instant."
Huaying's voice appeared in Gu Zheng's heart, and he repeatedly asked Gu Zheng to prevent the other party from coming out and ruining things.
Their location was also halfway up the mountain and they had to cross a considerable distance to reach the position mentioned by Gu Zheng.
The location is very inconspicuous, and there are many caves here. No one knows whether there is a dead end or another mystery inside. However, Huaying believes that Gu Zheng, the other party should have the unique magic of the Phantom Clan, which can detect the traces that others cannot easily detect. information.
Huaying's body gradually became blurred, and his whole body turned into a black transparent mist, which was attached to the rocks below, making it very inconspicuous.
Even if I scan the area, I can't find any trace of her.
Huaying carefully moved his body, moving forward bit by bit. The speed was not fast at all, not even one-tenth of the normal speed, but it did not attract any attention. Gu Zheng was worried. , it took quite a while to successfully approach the side.
"You take a rest, otherwise if something happens inside, you won't be able to react at all."
When he came to the door, after confirming that Xiaoying was inside, Gu Zheng said to the painting that he could feel her tiredness in the painting.
"No, once I transform back, the other party will definitely find me. Please help me keep an eye on it. We have reached this point when we go in. I must take a look at that strange creature." Huaying said breathlessly.
Gu Zheng thought in his heart, and a ball of air slowly emerged from his body and added to the painting. Although it did not add anything to the painting, it also indirectly cheered up the other party.
Perhaps because he was too confident, no one could come here. There were no defensive measures at this hole, allowing Huaying to sneak in from the corner easily.
This made Gu Zheng secretly sigh that he was lucky. Even if there was only a shallow defensive formation, they could not get in, let alone dig a passage from the side, which was even more impossible.
As for the passage outside, it took them several thousand years to dig it before it reached such a scale, or it was just a foundation.
The entire passage exudes a cold atmosphere, which makes Gu Zheng, who is hiding in the picture scroll, feel the discomfort. However, instead of being affected, Huaying feels better. It seems that for her, this place is more Let the other person adapt.
The passage was very long, far longer than the time they spent before, and there was a depressing atmosphere around them. At this time, even Huaying was not distracted talking, so as not to reveal his identity.
I don’t know how long I walked in this long and narrow passage, but suddenly the front suddenly became wider. From where Gu Zheng was, I could see a bright place in the distance, where two silver ghost generals were guarding.
Behind him was where Xiaoying was, he was sure of this immediately.
At the same time, Xiaoying, who had completely turned into a giant black cocoon inside, suddenly raised her head. Her entire body had turned completely black, and her eyes were filled with black mist. A trace of green light suddenly emerged from the bottom of her eyes. Her mind became slightly clearer as she sank deeper and deeper.
"Young Master, you're here. I can't bear it anymore. I'm waiting here for you to wake me up."
Looking up at the door, Xiaoying raised her arm with difficulty and pointed at her heart with a trembling finger.
As soon as she finished speaking, the green light in her eyes disappeared again, her arms drooped down again, and she fell into a coma. Black lights lit up on her body, trying to bind her tightly.
It's just that in the deepest part of the heart, there was nothing there originally. The demon soul has no so-called heart, but now a golden symbol is hidden in it, surrounded by a trace of green light, helping it hide here and not be caught by those black people. The fog is noticed.
But as soon as Gu Zheng's eyes glanced, the two silver ghost generals seemed to feel something, and they all looked in this direction. Gu Zheng was so frightened that he immediately diverted his attention to prevent the other party from noticing anything.
But despite this, the two ghost generals glanced at each other. The ghost general on the left actually left his position and walked towards this side, which made Gu Zheng nervous.
Because as long as the other party comes here, even if the painting is hidden, with the other party's cultivation level, if you look closely, you can detect their presence.
With a gentle wave of his hand, they had no resistance at all and were taken care of by the other party.
"Can I leave?" Gu Zheng asked anxiously.
It was right in front of him, just a little bit away, but he only glanced at him from the corner of his eye and attracted his attention. He was so unwilling to be discovered like this.
"No, the whole area has been locked by the other party. Once I move, I will be discovered. Unless." Huaying immediately denied it.
She was not very worried, after all, her life would not be in danger if she was discovered, but it would be distressing if the hidden passage on her side was discovered by the other party.
"Don't unless, it will be too late if it's too late. Let's avoid the other party first, and then I will agree to one condition for you, whatever you want." Gu Zheng was even more anxious at this time. Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, he immediately urged.
"Okay!"
