Chapter 385 Heading to Kunlun
It was another dawn, and Gu Zheng, who came out of the prehistoric space, looked at the white fish belly in the east, feeling a little lost in thought.
When he was practicing in the prehistoric space, Gu Zheng remembered the days of exploring the ruins of Shu.
It has been more than half a year since he came out of the Ruins of Shu. During this period, although Gu Zheng went to practice in the ancient space every day and experienced dangers in the treasures of the Kongkong Sect some time ago, overall Said that compared with the high pressure in Shu Ruins, today's life can be regarded as very leisurely.
For ordinary people, leisure is something they long for, but for Gu Zheng, leisure is a kind of enjoyment after a high-pressure life. He can have a period of time occasionally, but it cannot always be like this. After all, he is an immortal cultivator.
"Item Spirit, I want to take on a mission." Gu Zheng thought excitedly.
"Okay, it's been a while since you last took the initiative to take on a mission. Now it's good to take on a mission to adjust your leisure time. As for what mission to take, let me think about it."
Qi Ling didn't let Gu Zheng wait too long. His voice only paused for about five seconds before he spoke again: "I'll give you a simple task. Within fifteen days, go to the Kunlun Sect alone to check out the Kunlun Divine Stone!"
"Kunlun Divine Stone?" Gu Zheng frowned.
The first time Gu Zheng heard about the Kunlun Divine Stone was in the sect. At that time, Liu Yunzi and Han Shanzi came to Emei to talk to Gu Zheng and them about the quota for the Chaos Tower. During the period, they said that the Kunlun Divine Stone had Strange. Several months have passed since this incident. Qi Ling suddenly asked Gu Zheng to check the Kunlun Divine Stone, which made Gu Zheng a little curious.
"When I first heard that there was something strange about the Kunlun Divine Stone, I didn't think it was anything. But in the past few days, I have felt something unusual."
Qi Ling's voice was full of worry. This situation rarely happened. Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask: "What's so unusual?"
"There is immortal energy in the air."
"What?"
Qi Ling's faint words made Gu Zheng's heart feel like thunder. First of all, this is the Age of Dharma Ending, and there is no immortal essence in the air. Secondly, he himself is also an immortal cultivator. If there is immortal energy in the air, it is impossible for him not to feel it.
"There is indeed immortal energy in the air, but this immortal energy is extremely rare. For example, if the immortal energy in the air during the Shengfa era was in rivers, lakes and seas, the immortal energy in the air now is just a little fluorescence. Not to mention that you can't feel it, even someone with the level of cultivation like Ouyang Hai can't detect it! After all, fluorescence is not a swarm of fireflies, it's something you might encounter one or two in a day."
"Qi Ling, what does this mean?"
Gu Zheng was really anxious. Qi Ling always stopped talking today, and his worried look was unsettling.
"I don't know what this means, so I asked you to check out the Kunlun Divine Stone."
Qi Ling actually smiled, as if her previous worries were completely Gu Zheng's illusion.
"Then what are you worried about?" Gu Zheng said speechlessly.
"I still don't know if my worries will come true. It's all in vain. After you see the Kunlun Divine Stone, if my worries come true, I will tell you when the time comes." Qi Ling smiled mischievously.
"I despise you!" Gu Zheng said angrily, and then stopped talking.
After a while, Qi Ling asked: "What are you thinking about? Are you still thinking about the Kunlun Divine Stone?"
"No, anyway, if you don't want to say it now, it's useless for me to think about it. I'm just thinking that this mission sounds simple, but in fact it's not that simple. In the process of this mission, a lot of things may happen! "Gu Zheng smiled bitterly.
"I gave you a simple task, but everything has a cause and effect! Although this trip to Kunlun is bound to cause some things, these things are not difficult to solve." Qi Ling said.
"That's right. Everything has a cause and a result. What may happen is exactly the cause I planted in the first place." Gu Zheng nodded.
Arriving in Kunlun within fifteen days will coincide with a grand event in Kunlun.
The Kunlun Sect is the leader of the righteous path and owns the Kunlun Ruins, which is opened once every ten years.
The things produced in Kunlun Ruins are better and richer than those in Shu Ruins, and people can stay there for as long as five months.
Kunlun is not like Shushan. Half of the people who can enter the Shu Ruins are disciples belonging to branch sects. Those who can enter the Kunlun Ruins are all Kunlun disciples! In this way, the Kunlun Sect can harvest an extremely large amount of resources from the Kunlun Ruins every ten years!
Of course, this time the Kunlun Ruins opened, I don’t know what price Shushan paid to win two places to enter the Kunlun Ruins.
Within a month after the closure of Kunlun Ruins, the entire Kunlun Sect will be very lively, and many people from the sect will be invited to the Kunlun Sect.
Those invited to the Kunlun Sect are not there to watch the closing ceremony, but to receive training resources!
The Kunlun Sect is the leader of the righteous path, and they do behave as a leader should. They will allocate some resources to other sects, so that they can still get some things that are almost impossible to see outside in this end of the Dharma era where resources are scarce. Precious materials.
However, the Kunlun Sect does not provide resources for free. They need to allocate resource practitioners to use their internal energy in the next twenty days to provide energy for the operation of the Kunlun Sect's "Ancestral Dragon Formation".
The reason why Gu Zheng felt that the mission of Kunlun Sect would not be too simple, in addition to the feud between him and Kunlun disciples, was also due to the cause and effect from the sect.
Kunlun is the leader of the righteous path, and Shushan is the second largest sect of the righteous path. No matter where they are, the first and second have always been at odds with each other, and Kunlun and Shushan are no exception. However, the conflict between Kunlun and Shushan is not as severe as that between Qingcheng and Emei in the past. They just compete fiercely with each other, and have mutual precautions and competitions.
Although they are at odds, on the surface, if something major happens, Kunlun and Shushan will still unite as a front, after all, they represent the righteous path of the world.
It is precisely because of the conflict that Kunlun Sect never invites people from Shushan and its branches to participate in the grand event. If Gu Zheng goes to Kunlun Sect during the grand event, he will definitely not look good.
Moreover, the Shushan branch sect that Kunlun Sect hates the most is none other than Emei! This is because during the heyday of the law, Changmei Zhenren unlocked the "energy battlefield" of the Emei Tower. For a time, people from all sects wanted to enter it for training, even the people from the Kunlun Sect were no exception.
However, Changmei Zhenren was the founder of Emei. He was sent from Shushan. He naturally refused the request of the Kunlun Sect to allow disciples to enter the "energy battlefield" for training! So since then, the people of the Kunlun Sect have particularly hated the Emei disciples.
Since he had taken the initiative to accept the task, Gu Zheng did not stay for long. He dealt with some things around him during the day. After it was late at night, he took advantage of the cover of the night and flew straight to Emei with the Thunder Tooth Sword.
Back in the sect, Gu Zheng listened to Elder Wuchou's report on the things in the sect. There were two things that made his brows slightly wrinkled.
The first thing was that Zhao Wen from the Zhao Mansion came to visit the sect a few days ago.
When they were in Zhao's house, Gu Zheng gave Zhao Wen one month to come back. If he wanted to eat the food Gu Zheng made, he could come to the sect to find him.
After that, Gu Zheng stayed in the sect for more than two months, and returned to the city for more than three months. It has been almost half a year in total. I don't know why Zhao Wen came to visit now.
Elder Wuyou also asked him about Zhao Wen's visit, but his answer was that he happened to go to the mountains for fun, so he came to visit. He didn't mention anything about the disappearance of the ancient wooden coffin.
Gu Zheng didn't take Zhao Wen's matter seriously, just frowned a little unexpectedly.
The second thing that made Gu Zheng frown was that the white cat had been sleeping since it ate the beast spirit food. Now it has been several months, and it has not shown any signs of waking up!
Gu Zheng, who was somewhat worried, asked the spirit of the weapon about the white cat again, and the spirit of the weapon gave the answer that the longer the descendants of the mythical beast like the white cat sleep when they are promoted, the greater the achievements they can make in the future.
The spirit of the weapon also told Gu Zheng that although the white cat was sleeping, it was only on the surface. In fact, its current state was just like Gu Zheng who had entered a mysterious realm. In the white cat's "world", it was also in a mysterious realm.
Two days later, Gu Zheng set off for Kunlun.
For Gu Zheng's trip to Kunlun, Ouyang Hai and other senior members of the sect were somewhat worried. After all, Emei was not popular at all in Kunlun.
In this regard, Ouyang Hai and others also asked to accompany him, but they were all rejected by Gu Zheng. This would be a rare experience for him alone. What's more, the spirit of the weapon must have thought that Ouyang Hai and others would make such a request, so when issuing the task, it was stated that only Gu Zheng was allowed to go alone.
After wasting some time on the road, Gu Zheng entered Kunlun Mountain three days later.
The cold wind, the fluttering snowflakes, and the range within sight was completely a world of ice and snow.
Stepping on the Thunder Tooth Sword, Gu Zheng flew towards the depths of Kunlun Mountain for a short time, then put away the Thunder Tooth Sword and walked instead. This is not to say that he can't withstand the cold wind like a knife in the sky, nor that the time for the Thunder Tooth Sword to fly in the air has expired, but now it is during the Kunlun Sect's grand event.
Kunlun Ruins has been closed for eight days, and the Kunlun Mountain Grand Event will be held on the tenth day. In the two days before the grand event, many people from the cultivation world will go to Kunlun Sect. For this reason, Gu Zheng didn't want to be discovered that he could fly with a sword.
After walking for more than two hours and climbing a snowy mountain, Gu Zheng saw a group of people at the foot of the mountain, packing up their tents.
Judging from the color and division of the tents, these people at the foot of the mountain should be divided into two sects.
Gu Zheng went down the mountain and approached the crowd. The location of these people was the only way for him to reach Kunlun Sect.
"Daoyou, are you going to Kunlun Sect too?"
The people who were packing up the tents naturally noticed Gu Zheng approaching. A fair-skinned young man in the red tent area asked with a little surprise.
"Yes, I am also going to Kunlun Sect! May I ask Daoyou, which sect are you from?"
Gu Zheng looked at the young man in front of him who was about the same age as him and smiled kindly.
"We are from Tianxin Sect of Wufeng Island." The young man stretched out his hand and pointed to the people who were still packing up the red tents behind him, and then said: "My name is Yang Zhenling, Daoyou, what is your name? Who is your master?"
People from the two sects use white tents and red tents respectively. In terms of clothing, they are relatively obviously different from the practitioners in the mainland.
"Which sect are you a disciple of? Why are you traveling alone?"
Almost as soon as Yang Zhenling finished speaking, a middle-aged man who was originally in the white tent area came over and asked Gu Zheng a question with a straight face.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Yang from the Tianxin Sect. My name is Gu An. He is a casual cultivator with no family or sect."
Gu Zheng ignored the stern-faced middle-aged man and just answered Yang Zhenling's question.
Gu Zheng didn't want to tell Yang Zhenling and others his true identity. Anyway, after a while, he would speed up and throw these people away. Telling them that he was the head of Emei would only make them laugh. After all, the Emei sect was not subject to Kunlun. Everyone knows that everyone is welcome.
As for the sect that Yang Zhenling belongs to, Gu Zheng has never heard of it. After all, there are no fewer cultivation sects overseas than those in the mainland. They live on various islands in the sea. Most of them are covered by immortal formations and are rarely known to outsiders.
"Rogue cultivator? As a young casual cultivator, how advanced can you be to receive an invitation from the Kunlun Sect? Are you here to watch the excitement?"
The stern-faced middle-aged man, with a trace of undisguised sarcasm on his face, his not very big eyes, stared at Gu Zheng and looked him up and down. He was as rude as he could be. .
Gu Zheng frowned slightly. This middle-aged man's cultivation was at the early stage of the fifth level. This kind of cultivation was already considered very good for his age group. However, the middle-aged man's behavior is obviously not very good. A cultivator in the early stage of the fifth level is still a master, but he talks like a gun and carries a stick without any courtesy.
"Ha ha!"
Yang Zhenling smiled slightly awkwardly and spoke to smooth things over for the stern-faced middle-aged man: "This is Senior Luo Jin from the Tianluo Sect on the Blood Tide Island overseas. He usually likes to joke with the juniors."
"It turns out he is a fellow Taoist from the Tianluo Sect, whom I have admired for a long time!"
Gu Zheng did not call Luo Jin his senior, but since Yang Zhenling made the introduction, he accepted him as a courtesy.
Luo Jin accepted Gu Zheng's salute carelessly and rolled his eyes: "Boy, have you heard of my Tianluo Sect?"
It was originally just a polite word, but who would have thought that Luo Jin would ask as if he was missing a string, and Gu Zheng could only smile.
"I heard someone mention it. It is said that the Tianluo Sect is very prestigious overseas."
Gu Zheng heard about the Tianluo Sect for the first time today. Although he was complimentary on the outside, he was also a little impatient in his heart and was about to say goodbye to the people in front of him.
"Uncle Luo, we have finished packing and are ready to set off."
One of the disciples who was cleaning up the camp shouted to Gu Zheng and the others.
"Nephew Zhenling, it's time to hit the road."
The Tianxin sect's camp had also been tidied up, and an old man with white hair and beard also called out.
