Chapter 448 Evil Spirit

"It's actually not too surprising that there would be such a weird situation. After all, the blood tide itself is weird enough. I knew before that there must be an immortal formation below. However, after Shangguan Feng said this, I was right The Blood Tide Restricted Area is becoming more and more interesting, let’s go and take a look now!” Qi Ling said.

"good!"

Gu Zheng agreed to Qi Ling, and then smiled at Shangguan Feng: "Master Mu guessed it right. I am indeed very interested in the Blood Tide restricted area. Master Mu is so relaxed, which also makes me want to explore The idea of ​​​​the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone!”

Gu Zheng paused for a moment, then asked again: "However, it is a restricted area after all, and the Tianluo Sect has many branches. Won't I bring any trouble to Head Mu in the past?"

"Won't."

Shangguan Feng smiled slightly: "In the past, the vicinity of the Blood Tide was considered a real 'forbidden zone'. Except for branches of the Tianluo Sect, we did not allow outsiders to approach. In other words, we were competing for the quota of the 'Tianluo Cave' and could invite foreign aid. When the rules came out, the hearts of other branches of Tianluo Sect also came alive. They wondered if they could also use the rules to deal with the restricted area. External force, so as to unlock the secret of the restricted area as soon as possible? So from that time on, each branch of Tianluo Sect had two places to bring outsiders to explore the restricted area during each ancestor worship period! , what they saw in the restricted area is regarded as shared information among several branches, and other details are decided by each branch themselves! "

"Fellow Daoist Shangguan, after so many years, how many outsiders have explored the restricted area?" Gu Zheng asked again.

"There are only eight." Shangguan Feng said.

"Eight?"

Gu Zheng frowned, the number of people was much smaller than he imagined.

"That's right, only eight!"

Shangguan Feng's voice paused, and then he said: "Not everyone, after hearing the details about the blood tide, has the courage to find out. What's more, exploring the restricted area is so dangerous, even if the branch of Tianluo Sect wants to Knowing the secret of the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone, he would not let him pass alone! Although only eight outsiders have explored the restricted zone, which sounds really small, five of the eight are elders of the sect! , as for the other three, they are all immortal cultivators!”

"Oh? Three immortal cultivators?" Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"That's right! Among the three immortal cultivators, one is a casual cultivator, and the other two are demon cultivators."

Hearing Shangguan Feng say that there were demon cultivators who had also explored the Blood Tide restricted area, Gu Zheng didn't think anything of it. After all, many branches of Tianluo Sect all belonged to overseas sects, and they were not as resistant to demon cultivators as the mainland sects.

"What realm are these three immortal cultivators? What did they find after their investigation?" Gu Zheng asked again.

"The realm of casual cultivators is the early stage of spiritual transformation, and the realm of the two demon cultivators is that the lower one is in the middle stage of spiritual transformation, and the higher one is in the early stage of returning to the void! However, their answers are very unified. After the spiritual thoughts penetrate into the sea two hundred meters deep, , we can no longer make any progress, and there will be no more discoveries!”

Shangguan Feng paused, then smiled and said: "I'm very curious. After listening to me saying so much, Master Gu, will he go or not?"

"Since it won't cause any trouble to Head Mu, then everything will be done according to what Head Mu said. Today I will just go over and take a look. As for when to explore the Blood Tide restricted area, I will wait until the quota for the 'Tianluo Cave' is obtained. I will leave It’s time for Blood Tide Island!” Gu Zheng said with a smile.

Seeing that Gu Zheng really wanted to explore the restricted area, the smile on Shangguanfeng's face turned into a bitter smile.

"After asking so many questions, Master Gu must want to go. I have already guessed this! But even so, I still want to hear Master Gu's answer. From the bottom of my heart, I hope that my guess is wrong, and I don't want Gu to The leader is too curious about this matter, after all, sometimes curiosity can really kill people!"

Shangguan Feng paused and then told Gu Zheng some past events.

The past events mentioned by Shangguan Feng mainly talked about the fate of those who explored the Blood Tide restricted area. What surprised Gu Zheng the most was that Shangguan Feng had also explored the Blood Tide restricted area!

Twenty years ago, Shangguan Feng was thirty years old and in the middle of the fifth level of cultivation. At this age and with this cultivation level, looking at the entire cultivation world, he could be regarded as a genius.

At that time, Shangguan Feng, who was arrogant and had a bright future, was also very curious about the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone, so on a day that was not a blood tide, Shangguan Feng dived into the sea to explore the mystery of the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone.

According to Shangguanfeng, he didn't see anything in the sea at that time. He only dived fifty meters at most and then lost consciousness inexplicably!

Shangguanfeng woke up on the beach. He didn't feel any discomfort after waking up. But as time passed, Shangguanfeng was horrified to find that his sexual orientation had changed unknowingly, and even his voice had changed. And her posture is uncontrollably like a woman's.

What makes Shangguan Feng even more crazy is that his cultivation level seems to be cursed and can no longer be improved! Whenever the inner energy in his body is on the verge of breaking through, the surging inner energy will inexplicably disappear without a trace, and his cultivation will return to what it was like when he visited the Blood Tide restricted area.

Twenty years have passed. During this period, Shangguan Feng used all available methods, but his situation has not improved in any way, and no one can explain clearly what happened to his situation. thing.

After listening to Shangguan Feng's story, Gu Zheng was actually very curious and wanted to check Shangguan Feng's body, but he didn't say this request after all. After all, Shangguan Feng had tried various methods for twenty years, but still didn't know what was going on. Conventional inspections should not have found anything on him! Unconventional inspections would definitely expose the identity of the cultivator, so Gu Zheng could only suppress his curiosity.

"Fellow Daoist Shangguan, what happened to the three cultivators who had explored the restricted area?"

When Gu Zheng learned that there were cultivators who had also explored the restricted area, he wanted to ask this question, but Shangguan Feng asked him a question at that time, and then said a lot, so this question was shelved until now.

"Among the three cultivators, the two with lower cultivation levels were fine, but as for the cultivator in the early stage of returning to the void, he died suddenly later!" Shangguan Feng said.

"A cultivator in the early stage of returning to the void actually died suddenly later?" Gu Zheng said in disbelief.

"The cultivator in the early stage of returning to the void had explored the restricted area, and nothing happened. But after a few years, he was unwilling to give up and even proposed to explore the restricted area during the blood tide! For such a request, the Qingtianluo Sect, which had agreed to let him explore, naturally tried every means to dissuade him, but the other party just wouldn't listen, so they had no choice but to let him explore."

"What exactly did the cultivator in the early stage of returning to the void find in the blood tide? Outsiders don't know. They only know that when he came out of the blood tide, he looked like he was injured. He didn't stay on the blood tide island for long and left directly."

"Seven days later, the cultivator in the early stage of returning to the void died suddenly in his sect! Although they had signed a life and death agreement in advance, his sect still vented its anger on the Qingtianluo Sect, so that the Qingtianluo Sect now has fewer members than the Black Sky Snail Sect! Moreover, the anger from this sect also affected our Red Sky Snail Sect."

"When this incident happened, After that, all branches of Tianluo Sect strictly controlled the quota for exploring the forbidden area. If it weren't for the fact that Sect Leader Gu was really extraordinary, our Sect Leader Mu thought that you might be able to find something different, he wouldn't have asked me to ask you if you wanted to explore the blood tide restricted area. "

"For the sudden death of the cultivator in the early stage of returning to the void, several branches of Tianluo Sect have also speculated. One of the speculations is that no matter whether it is during the blood tide or not, the number of times to explore the forbidden area should not exceed two times, otherwise even if it is a Daluo Jinxian, it is estimated that there is no chance to survive! Although this speculation has no basis, Sect Leader Mu also explained that if Sect Leader Gu still wants to explore the restricted area when the blood tide comes after careful consideration, then there is only one chance! In the future, if Sect Leader Gu still wants to explore, whether for his own sake or for the sake of the two sects, I hope Sect Leader Gu will not open his mouth!" Shangguan Feng said carefully.

"Okay, I agree to what Master Mu said! As for whether to explore the forbidden area during the blood tide, I will consider it carefully." Gu Zheng said.

Without staying in the residence for too long, Gu Zheng and Shangguan Feng chatted for a while, and then went to the blood tide forbidden area together.

The soft beach, the blue sea, and the blood tide forbidden area during the day look no different from the normal sea area.

"Did you find anything?"

Standing on the beach, Gu Zheng asked the spirit of the weapon.

"You are now a cultivator, and my detection range is only ten meters, not as good as your divine consciousness!" said the spirit of the weapon.

Gu Zheng smiled: "Of course I know this, what I mean is, you didn't find anything through my eyes?"

"No, I will tell you if there is."

The spirit of the weapon paused, and then smiled evilly: "You can separate your divine consciousness to explore it, isn't it better!"

"Isn't this not good?" Gu Zheng murmured.

"What's wrong with it? Anyway, you can separate your divine consciousness and Shangguan Feng won't find it." The spirit of the weapon tempted.

Before Gu Zheng became a true immortal cultivator, he could detect the divine thoughts of some immortal cultivators, just like when he came out of Shuxu and was going to the Shushan Hall, he noticed Han Songzi's divine thoughts peeping! The reason for this abnormality is that although he has not become a true immortal cultivator, he already has immortal power, and secondly, because his five senses have been strengthened! If there are no such abnormalities, the divine thoughts of immortal cultivators will hardly be detected by the cultivators.

"I naturally know that the exploration of divine thoughts will not be discovered by Shangguan Feng! I just think that since we are just here to take a look today, isn't it a bit bad to explore now?"

Gu Zheng's voice was not firm. In fact, he had been moved when the spirit of the weapon started to propose.

"There is not much difference between your exploration now and when you leave Blood Tide Island! The reason why Mu Chunfeng doesn't let you explore now is that he is afraid that something will happen to you. Don't worry, I'm here. Just listen to me and I promise that nothing will happen to you! Since nothing will happen, what's the difference between exploring now and then?"

In the inner vision, the spirit of the weapon standing in the garden, his fingers circled around the flower vines, his big eyes blinked, and he smiled like a thief.

"You promise that I will be fine? What do you know about this restricted area?"

Gu Zheng stopped looking at the spirit of the weapon. He found that looking at the little girl's appearance, it would be easy for him to agree to her proposal.

"It's not that I know anything, I just feel that three immortal cultivators with different cultivation levels can't make any progress when their spiritual thoughts are two hundred meters deep! So within two hundred meters, it should be a very safe place for the immortal cultivators. The depth, they didn't find anything in this depth, doesn't mean we can't find anything either!" Qi Ling said with a smile.

"good."

Gu Zheng accepted the weapon spirit's proposal and immediately sent out a ray of spiritual thought into the sea.

Exploring with his spiritual mind, Gu Zheng experienced the temperature of the seawater changing with depth, and saw fish passing by one after another.

Everything around him was normal, even Gu Zheng had explored the mud at the bottom of the sea, but still found nothing strange.

However, the so-called normality ended when Gu Zheng's spiritual exploration reached a place more than two hundred meters away from the coast. The sea water became as hard as iron due to the feeling of ancient struggle, and the mind could no longer move forward.

It’s not surprising to Guzheng that his spiritual thoughts are blocked! Before leaving his residence, Shangguan Feng also told Gu Zheng some information about the Blood Tide restricted area. It was this information that made Gu Zheng understand that he had touched the edge of the Immortal Formation.

According to Shangguan Feng, the shape of the immortal array after it takes effect is like a water tank! If you want to explore the Immortal Formation in depth, whether you are diving or using your spiritual thoughts, you must take a boat across the water and then reach the mouth of the cylinder, so that you will not be affected by the edge of the Immortal Formation.

"It seems we have to enter the sea!" Qi Ling said.

"Fellow Daoist Shangguan, I want to go and have a look at the sea." Gu Zheng looked at Shangguan Feng.

Gu Zheng's conversation with the weapon spirit and even the exploration of spiritual thoughts only happened in a very short period of time. In Shangguan Feng's eyes, Gu Zheng just followed him here and stopped to look at the sea for about three or four seconds.

Seeing Shangguan Feng frown slightly, Gu Zheng pointed his finger at the forest on the shore.

"Don't get me wrong, fellow Daoist Shangguan. I said that I went to the sea by boat, not that I wanted to go into the sea. Since the shape of the immortal array after it works is like a water tank, I want to see if there is anything at the mouth of the tank. A different discovery!”

There is a wooden boat in the woods, which can accommodate ten people.

"I brought Master Gu here today. I never thought about letting Master Gu go into the sea."

Shangguan Feng paused and then said: "However, Master Mu also said that we will try our best to cooperate with Master Gu if he wants to ask for it! It is not impossible for Master Gu to want to take a boat into the sea, but we will do it in advance Chapter Three of the Law of Offers.”

Gu Zheng nodded and said, "You say."

"Waiting for the boat to enter the sea later, I hope that Gu Zhang and Miss Miao Miao will just take a look and not make any practical actions, let alone touch things in the sea! Moreover, this time we enter the sea, only half an hour, as long as Gu Zhang If both Men and Miss Miaomiao can abide by the agreement, then we will go to sea immediately," Shangguan Feng said.

Meow Meow, who had been silent all this time, said, "You can't touch things in the sea. What do you mean?"

"It refers to fish, shrimp, and all animals in the water." Shangguan Feng said.

"Okay, just follow what Fellow Taoist Shangguan said!"

Gu Zheng agreed, but Shangguanfeng looked extremely serious about this matter. He didn't walk towards the woods until Miao Miao nodded.

The wooden boat was quickly pushed out by Shangguanfeng. After the three people boarded the boat, Shangguanfeng immediately started paddling with both hands.

The sea was very quiet, and there was not even a breeze. Maybe he was remembering his previous experience. Ever since he entered the sea, Shangguan Feng seemed very nervous. He even looked back from time to time, as if he was afraid that something would appear on the sea. .

"Master Gu, the location we are in now is already the mouth of the tank. Can we stop the boat here?" Shangguan Feng asked.

"Okay, let's stop here!"

Gu Zheng smiled faintly and stood on the bow of the boat, pretending to be looking around, but in fact he had already used his spiritual thoughts to explore the sea.

"It's really different!"

As soon as Gu Zheng's spiritual thoughts entered the sea, the voice of the weapon spirit sounded.

"Why is it different?" Gu Zheng asked.

In fact, Gu Zheng also discovered something different, but apart from being a little cold, he didn't discover much about this difference. And he also felt that what Qi Ling said was different, it must not mean coldness!

"Continue to go deeper and you will find more." Item Spirit did not answer directly.

The depth of a hundred meters was quickly explored.

"What is the difference you feel now?" Qi Ling asked.

"In addition to the coldness I felt at the beginning, I always felt that there seemed to be mysterious energy in the sea water. They were like some filaments. When faced with the exploration of spiritual thoughts, I always felt that I wanted to cling to spiritual thoughts. But when I tried to trace them, they all disappeared."

Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said: "It seems that those three immortal cultivators did not tell the branch of Tianluo Sect everything. At least they didn't tell them about the thin threads that wanted to attach their spiritual thoughts."

"Everyone has selfish motives." Qi Ling smiled: "The filaments you feel actually belong to an extremely rare evil spirit! This evil spirit was born between heaven and earth. It is not caused by man. It is very overbearing! If not If his mind enters the sea, if his body enters the sea, a fifth-level cultivator would be extremely lucky to end up like Shangguan Feng!" Qi Ling said.

Gu Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Spirit of the weapon, since there is this extremely special evil spirit here, then the immortal formation below, could it be that it exists to seal the evil spirit? As for the blood tide, is it a manifestation of the evil spirit after it has grown to a certain extent?"

"You guessed right! With the existence of this evil spirit, no wonder during the blood tide, the immortal cultivators in the Return to Void Realm would be in trouble if they explored it!" Spirit of the weapon said seriously.

"Since we know that this is a dangerous evil place, is it necessary to continue to explore it in depth?" Gu Zheng asked.
