Chapter 619: Impersonating Disciple
"Elder brother, let's join forces. He is only in the early stage of Golden Immortal. We are three against one. Can't we still deal with him?"
Wu Jinxian was worried about her apprentice and immediately said that she and her senior brother had been stopped by Gu Zheng before. She knew Gu Zheng's realm and understood that Gu Zheng's strength was not in line with this realm.
Before, Gu Zheng just casually struck a knife, and it was a little difficult for her to block it. She also felt the crazy sword strike that Gu Zheng aimed at the sky. Her feelings were somewhat different from those of her senior brother. She was even a little scared. She could feel that. One blow of his sword was enough to kill her, so she proposed that the three of them join forces. It was impossible for her alone to defeat Gu Zheng.
"Elder brother, we can't let them go, otherwise our Sanxian Cave's face will certainly be lost!"
Another Jinxian also said something, this is also a woman, but she has never faced Gu Zheng before. She knows that Gu Zheng is powerful, but she is not particularly clear about Gu Zheng's strength.
However, she believes that if the three of them join forces, they will be able to defeat Gu Zheng.
The senior brother's face was gloomy and he didn't speak. He also knew that Sanxiandong's face had been completely lost this time. Someone had kidnapped his disciple in his own home. It would be an absolute shame and humiliation for this kind of thing to spread. The key is that they haven't taken this disciple away yet. Save him.
But he thought more. The strength shown by Gu Zheng in the previous fight made him jealous, but he was not afraid. He also had a trump card in his hand, that is, the two of them pretended to be disciples of Shushan. As long as he reported this matter to Shushan , when the time comes, Shushan will definitely not let the two of them go. If Shushan comes forward, he will naturally be much better than them.
There is such a premise that he does not want to fight with Gu Zheng now. When he is not sure, his first thing is to protect himself.
The eldest brother did not agree, so the two of them could only worry.
The three of them didn't make a move, and Gu Zheng didn't move either. His purpose was not to fight, but to save people and just complete his purpose. Although his actual combat power was stronger than the three of them and could even kill them, he wouldn't do it unless he had to. Doing this, really doing this, would be tantamount to fighting Sanxiandong until death, unless he destroyed the entire Sanxiandong sect.
Let's not talk about whether he has this reason or not. Killing people's sect casually in the ancient times is not a good reputation, and Gu Zheng is not a murderous person.
The four of them were in a stalemate like this, and the National Preceptor of the Ancient Holy Kingdom was frightened.
At first, he thought that Gu Zheng had invited Shi Qinglan to help remove the poison, but when the two came down, he was dumbfounded. It was obvious that Shi Qinglan was kidnapped and forced to come here.
Later, the arrival of the three Golden Immortals from Sanxian Cave proved this point. The three Golden Immortals came after them, plus Gu Zheng and the other two Golden Immortals. These were the five Golden Immortals. If they really fought here, the palace would be shocked. If it can be dismantled, if he doesn't run away, he may even be harmed by Chi Yu.
He is the national master here. If he runs away, his reputation in this life will be completely ruined. Not to mention in the mortal world, many people will look down on him in the world of immortal cultivators. He will be particularly entangled and worried.
There had been no movement in the sky, which made him feel a little bit at last, but it was only a little bit. Now it was as if the air was full of explosives, and any spark could detonate it.
After a while, Ouyang Hai came out of the princess's room with Shi Qinglan. Without saying a word, he directly carried Shi Qinglan and flew into the air. He came to Gu Zheng's side and nodded gently.
"Give it back to you!"
Ouyang Hai threw Shi Qinglan over. The woman surnamed Wu hurriedly took over his beloved disciple and checked him up and down. She was relieved when she saw that his beloved disciple was only controlled by his immortal power and no harm was done. However, soon, she felt angry in her heart.
Her beloved disciple was kidnapped in front of her and she could do nothing. This was absolutely a shame and humiliation for her.
"You two, please leave your names!"
Seeing that the disciple was sent back safely, the senior brother finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the disciple was killed, he would take action even if he no longer wanted to fight. Now the disciple was harmless and they had lost face, but they had a way to retaliate against these two people, so He didn't have that much resentment in his heart.
In his opinion, the two of them were seeking death by pretending to be Shushan disciples, and they would be dead without him taking action.
Hearing what the senior brother said, the woman surnamed Wu felt pain in her heart again. The senior brother said this to let the two of them go, and she was unwilling to continue fighting. She knew that it was wise to do so. After all, the opponent's strength was mysterious and they were not sure. It is better to keep the other person than to let them go.
Anyway, the other party has the leverage in her own hands, and someone will take care of them when the time comes. She understands, but letting the two of them leave like this makes her feel very uncomfortable.
"Gu Zheng!"
"Ouyang Hai!"
Gu Zheng could probably guess their intentions, but he was too lazy to pay attention. They were going back to Shushan anyway, and they were not afraid of the other party's tricks at all.
"We will protect this place from now on. If anything goes wrong here, I guarantee that Sanxian Cave will no longer exist!"
Gu Zheng glanced at the three people and said something again. The elder brother's face showed anger again, but he took Ouyang Hai to the ground and ignored the three people.
He left such a warning for the sake of this mortal princess and the people here. If he could not save people, and let others harm him later, such saving would be meaningless.
"Let's go!"
Watching Gu Zheng leave, the eldest brother's face turned extremely fierce, he said something viciously, and then flew out.
The Wu surnamed Jinxian was unwilling to accept this, but he had no choice but to return with his apprentice. After returning, the eldest brother immediately ordered all the disciples to spread the news that two people pretended to be Shushan disciples to cheat, and asked the Wu surnamed Jinxian to go to Shushan in person to complain.
As long as Shushan knew about this, it would be impossible to let the two go. If they offended Shushan, they would no longer have any foothold in the prehistoric world.
Gu Zheng didn't know their thoughts and actions, and it didn't matter if he knew. He was originally from Shushan and was not pretending at all. The princess was cured of the poison and the cause of the disease was cured immediately. She had remembered that she missed the prince of the neighboring country. Now she was not anxious, like a young girl in love, her heart was full of missing.
Gu Zheng had no way to do this. He didn't understand the art of Gu, and didn't know how to remove the consequences of this Gu. However, he didn't intend to intervene in this matter. This was a private matter.
Besides, the prince and the princess were well matched, and the emperor didn't object, so he had no reason to object.
The king of the Ancient Saint Kingdom also knew Gu Zheng's identity. Gu Zheng and Ouyang Hai flew into the palace with a swagger. If he didn't know it, he would be a fool. After knowing it, he dared not neglect it, nor did he dare to mention the idea of keeping Gu Zheng as an imperial doctor or imperial chef.
The next day, after the princess was completely cured, Gu Zheng said goodbye.
Before leaving, the national teacher brought a lot of good things to Gu Zheng, some of which were rare treasures, and some were raw materials that could be used for cultivation. The quantity was not large, but the quality was good. Two of them were excellent.
In the prehistoric world, it can be said that ordinary levels are everywhere, medium levels are very common, and excellent levels are no longer very rare. Even a mortal country can come up with excellent-grade raw materials. You can imagine the wealth of the prehistoric world.
As for the high-level ones that are not seen on Earth, there are many in the prehistoric world, but this kind of raw materials are helpful to many people in the Golden Immortal Realm, so most of them flow into the hands of major sects and forces, and are rarely seen among the people.
As for gold and silver, the national teacher did not bring them. In his opinion, Gu Zheng must not lack such things. Giving such things to two golden immortals would be an insult.
Gu Zheng accepted all the gifts brought by the national teacher, and asked the national teacher about the way to Shushan.
When listening to Gu Zheng's question, the national teacher was drinking tea, and he almost spit out a mouthful of tea. The two were obviously disciples of Shushan, but they asked him how to go to Shushan. He even suspected that he had heard it wrong.
It was not until Gu Zheng explained that he understood that Gu Zheng and the other two were disciples of Shushan, but they were disciples of the lower world. Now they have cultivated to the level of golden immortals and entered the prehistoric world. They have to go to Shushan in the prehistoric world to recognize the sect, so they don’t know where Shushan is.
This explanation is reasonable, and the national teacher did not doubt anything else. He told the route of Shushan in detail, and sighed that the little princess was really lucky. She actually met two golden immortals from the lower world to save her, and they were golden immortals from Shushan, and they were willing to offend a sect for her and directly captured the disciples of others.
At the same time, he also wanted to see the joke of the Three Immortals Cave, and had a direct conflict with the Shushan disciples to see how they would end.
Not two days after Gu Zheng left, the news that two people pretended to be Shushan disciples to commit crimes and defraud spread quickly. The face of the national teacher who learned the news was pale and blue. He thought a lot, but he didn't think that Gu Zheng and the other two were pretending. The news was very detailed. The two did not have immortal swords, and they did not know the basic Yiqing Jue of Shushan. They were pretending.
This made him suspicious, and finally asked the emperor for leave, temporarily returning to the sect to avoid the limelight and see what would happen next.
At this time, Gu Zheng didn't know that he had been rumored to be a liar. He and Ouyang Hai were flying in the air. After getting the route map of Shushan from the national teacher, he planned to return to Shushan first.
Although he didn't have any feelings for Shushan, he still had feelings for Emei. Several generations of Emei ancestors were in Shushan. No matter what, he had to meet these ancestors, and at the same time, he had a little intention of showing off in his heart.
When he took over Emei, it was not an exaggeration to say that Emei was on the verge of extinction. There was not a single immortal cultivator in the sect, and the two elders were forced to go out and capture people to be the head of the sect. The number of disciples was less than a hundred, and you can imagine how badly it had fallen.
What about now?
Even the first and second Kunlun Shushan attached great importance to Emei. Emei was basically on par with them, and in terms of the number of immortal cultivators, Emei had more than them. In terms of surface strength, Emei had definitely become the first in China.
Of course, this was only surface strength. In terms of foundation, it was still inferior to these two sects. Emei itself had always been a branch of Shushan. Even if it was strong, it could not change this.
The distance between Shushan and them was indeed not close. Judging from the map, it would take several months to reach the destination after passing through 130 mortal kingdoms and many mountains.
In addition, there are some dangerous places on the road, such as the territory of a certain great demon, or the territory of some great demon sects. The national teacher suggested that they should avoid them if they can.
This time Gu Zheng followed the advice. Shushan is a big brand, but it is not omnipotent. Some great demon sects have hatred with Shushan, and some great demons do not get along with Shushan. This brand may not be useful there.
Moreover, the incident in the Three Immortals Cave reminded him that he is not a real Shushan disciple yet. He has no way to prove himself. If he continues to say so when he goes out, he may even cause trouble for himself.
One month later, Nanzhanbuzhou, Tianyu Country.
This is the easternmost country in Nanzhanbuzhou. Its east side is a long desert. After crossing the desert, you will reach the territory of Dongsheng Shenzhou. This desert is very long. It is okay for immortals to fly over it, but ordinary people will never be able to walk over it in their lifetime.
Such a desert completely separates the mortals of the two continents. Only immortals can communicate.
Not to mention the size of the desert, there are still many dangers in the desert. There are many fierce beasts. These fierce beasts have no wisdom, but their strength is not weak. Some fierce beasts can even be compared with golden immortals. Even immortals have to be careful when flying in the air. There may be fierce beasts in the desert that may attack them at any time.
Even if Gu Zheng and Ouyang Hai fly over this desert, it will take a month. There is no place to stop and rest on the road, so before entering the desert, they will have a good rest in the last Tianyu Country.
The place where they settled was not the capital of Tianyu Country, but the largest city in front of the desert, Dongsha City. From here, you can reach the edge of the desert after a day's walk.
Although Dongsha City is located on the border, it is not small, and the population is not small, close to 10 million.
The more dangerous the place, the more opportunities there are. This is basically true everywhere, and the same is true for this desert. There are countless ferocious beasts in the desert, as well as many treasures and resources. Some sand fruits and sand grasses grown in the desert are good treasures. If you are lucky enough to encounter a few expensive materials, an ordinary mortal can completely change his fate at once.
This is a bit similar to the treasure hunters in hell. The difference is that the treasure hunters in hell only do it when they have no other choice, while most of them come here to seek their own breakthrough or want to make a fortune.
In the city, a small half are this kind of people. You can imagine how many there are. Among this small half, 70% to 80% are cultivators, and many have reached the fifth level of internal strength. Without special reasons, they will never break through to the realm of immortal cultivators in their lifetime, so they come here to try their luck. If they encounter good materials that can make them break through, they will make a lot of money.
Gu Zheng didn't care about these things. He and Ouyang Hai stayed in an inn that looked pretty good. This place was on the border and the prices were very high. The room they stayed in actually cost hundreds of taels of silver per room, and that was for one day.
Hundreds of taels of silver were enough to buy a house in other cities.
It was a bit expensive, but it was really clean and well-equipped. Gu Zheng didn't bother to care about these trivial matters. He paid for five days' rent directly and planned to rest here for a few days before setting off to cross the desert and head to Dongsheng Shenzhou.
In addition to mortals, there are some immortals in the city. Immortals need more resources for cultivation. Not every immortal has countless resources behind them. Why do some immortals want to enter the mortal kingdom? Isn't it just for cultivation resources? The mortal kingdom is also divided into territories. Without background, alone, or a small sect, it is impossible to compete with others.
Just like the national teacher of the Ancient Saint Country, who has already reached the Return to Void realm, and has a Golden Immortal behind him, only such a person can occupy a position of national teacher in the mortal country and let the Ancient Saint Country provide him with cultivation resources.
Without resources, it is impossible to quickly improve strength. If the qualifications are ordinary, it is impossible to make progress. The life span of each level of the immortal cultivator is different. The Qi Transformation Realm is only a thousand years, and the Return to Void Realm can reach ten thousand years.
Whether it is to survive or to improve strength, it is necessary to collect resources. All poor immortal cultivators or casual cultivators want to try their luck in the desert, where there are more and better resources, unlike some other famous mountains and rivers, which are occupied, and they can't get resources there at all.
After staying in the inn, Gu Zheng noticed three immortal cultivators, two in the Qi Transformation Realm and one in the God Transformation Realm, all of whom looked like old people. After the three of them revealed their identities, the inn immediately gave them free rooms and provided them with good offerings.
Immortals still have many privileges in the mortal world. Free food and accommodation is just one of them. Of course, it is not completely free. At least they are served and entertained by others. If there is really something here, they will help if they can. It is equivalent to becoming a temporary amulet of the inn.
Only immortals have such treatment. Practitioners, even those in the late fifth level, do not have such treatment. There are more practitioners in the prehistoric world. In addition to being stronger than ordinary people, their treatment is not much better than ordinary people.
"Master, why don't we go back and you can cook anything. The food here is really not very delicious!"
After eating in a restaurant in the city, Ouyang Hai looked at Gu Zheng expectantly and said, this is just a mortal restaurant opened by an ordinary person. Although it is large and luxurious, the cooking skills are very ordinary.
Of course, this is generally compared with Gu Zheng. Compared with other mortal chefs, it is already good.
After thinking for a while, Gu Zheng nodded and agreed. Ouyang Hai immediately smiled. During their breaks, Gu Zheng would go out to ask if there was a fairy kitchen restaurant. Unfortunately, there was none, so he came to these mortal restaurants to eat.
However, now it seems that no matter how good the mortal restaurants are, they can't compare with the fairy kitchen restaurants. Now that Ouyang Hai has asked him to cook, he also wants to improve the taste, so he simply agreed.
Compared to the food in these restaurants, the food they cook is much better. Gu Zheng is also used to eating the food he cooks. Mortals can't really eat much of the food in restaurants. Most of them just try it out. Few of the dishes they order can be finished.
