Chapter 972

"Yes, yes, it hurts so much, stop it!"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"

The two shouted together. Gu Zheng knew a lot of small restrictions, which he didn't care about before, but now he is not himself, but his master, Tiexian, and his master has just been born, which is the most vulnerable period. These small tricks are very suitable.

"What kind of monster is your king? Why do you hold such a sermon? What happened to those children before?"

Gu Zheng asked several questions in a row, and then stopped torturing them. The two people climbed up with difficulty and immediately knelt in front of Gu Zheng. They knew very well that they had hit a wall this time and met a very powerful person.

It is even possible that they met a real immortal. Although they pretended to be the followers of the immortal, they knew very well that they were not, but just fake, and the master they served was not, but a monster.

If the immortals knew that they served the monster and helped it to cause trouble, they would probably end up in a miserable state. However, they had to tell them now. The feeling of being pricked by needles all over their bodies just now made them feel worse than death. Gu Zheng did not dare to answer their questions.

After listening to them, Gu Zheng realized that more than a thousand miles away, there was a monster occupying the mountain as the king, with several soldiers under his command, and these two humans also submitted to him and served him to survive.

They did not know what kind of monster this monster was, but they knew that this monster had transformed, had very powerful power, and could fly.

If it could fly, it must have cultivated to the level of a celestial being who had refined essence into qi. Gu Zheng was no match for it at the moment. With his gluttony, it would be easy for the other party to crush them to death.

This monster would eat the heart of a child every year. The so-called preaching of the two was actually to search for suitable food for their master, not to take these children back to practice. This monster was very picky about eating children's hearts, and would only eat children with a certain wisdom. In short, it only ate the hearts of children with a cultivation physique.

If they were not selecting for the purpose of eating hearts, they could have picked out a few people who were suitable for cultivation.

This king ate every year. He used to go out and catch them himself, but when he went out and caught them, the nearby villagers knew about it, and they either moved away or asked the immortals of the human race to exorcise the monsters. The people who came the first few times were either killed or driven away by him, but later a really powerful immortal came, and he was injured and escaped, and was almost killed by the immortal.

After that, he did not dare to stay in the same place, but changed his territory, and won over a few more small monsters to continue to be his mountain king.

Once he caught two people and wanted to reward them to the small monsters to eat. In order to survive, these two people begged bitterly and were willing to do anything. The monster also wanted to give it a try and asked them how to catch enough children to eat their hearts without being discovered and hunted down by human immortals.

In order to survive, these two people came up with the idea of ​​preaching. At first, they wanted the monster Jiaban Daxian to preach.

Who knew that this monster actually had a good treasure, the Mirage Dragon Pearl, and he didn't need to show up in person. He followed and watched secretly the first two times, and found that the people here were indeed easy to deceive. They took the initiative to send their children here. The first time, he successfully deceived more than ten people, which was much better than when he ran out and worked hard to catch them.

The place chosen by the two people was also good. The distance was not far or close. Even if something really happened, others would not think of him all of a sudden. In addition, they didn't catch too many at a time, just a dozen, and then catch more after eating. This went on for more than a hundred years, and no one found out that this was a scam.

He was very happy that these two humans could help him find the right human heart materials. Later, he simply couldn't bear to let the two die, and thought of ways to help them prolong their lives. Not to mention, this monster really had a treasure that could prolong life. The extension time was not long, but it also made the two people live to more than a hundred years old.

The two of them lived for more than a hundred years, which was equivalent to helping the monster capture more than a hundred children. Needless to say, all of these more than a hundred children met with difficulties. Their families thought that the children were practicing and had the hope of becoming enlightened, and they were extremely happy.

As for the few children who returned home, it was also the idea of ​​these two people. If they kept practicing and no one came back, they would definitely be suspected after a long time. When they were selected, they kept their eyes on them and paid special attention to a few children. These children all had obvious characteristics, such as birthmarks on their bodies and were young.

After more than ten years, according to their grown-up ages, they would come back again with the Mirage Dragon Pearl. The Mirage Dragon Pearl can create the illusion of immortals, and it is no problem to create a young immortal cultivator. Every time they come, they only let the children who came back meet their families and show their abilities. They stayed for one night and left to reassure the villagers.

Because of this, no one discovered their methods for so many years, and they were trying their best to send their children here. Even people from the farther prefectures came, not knowing that this was a huge pit.

"You are helping the tyrant and killing so many children. You must not be allowed to stay!"

After asking clearly, Gu Zheng snorted coldly and tapped his hands several times. The two men just wanted to beg for mercy, but their bodies went limp. Their heart meridians were cut by Gu Zheng and they died on the spot.

After they died, the illusion did not disappear. The old man with white beard was still preaching something that no one could understand. The children were still sitting there stupidly. The people outside also did not know what was happening inside. They thought that an immortal was preaching and were all waiting outside devoutly.

Gu Zheng suddenly stopped when he walked to the stage.

It is easy to end the sermon, just put away the mirage dragon ball, but after it is over, how to end it is a problem. If the truth is told to the villagers, I am afraid that none of the villagers will be able to accept it, and they may not even believe what he said.

This possibility is not impossible. They are more willing to believe in the tradition of more than a hundred years, and will not believe in the ancient words about a child, not to mention those families who have children sent there, and they are even less willing to believe that their children have died long ago. The hearts were dug out and stored up, and now they are all eaten.

This is also the inevitable result of human nature. Everyone is willing to believe better news unless Gu Zheng provides full evidence.

There is evidence, and the Mirage Dragon Ball is the best evidence. However, he cannot yet set the illusion inside this Dragon Ball. His cultivation is not enough, so he can only use the Mirage Dragon's blood to release the illusion of preaching.

When this illusion comes out, it will only become more troublesome. After it is released, everyone will worship the immortal and will not listen to him at all.

Generally speaking, telling the truth will do more harm than good, but it won't work if you don't tell it. No one knows whether the monster will come to take revenge. If you don't tell the truth, if the monster comes to take revenge, no one will even be prepared or want to hide. Trying to hide will only lead to greater losses.

However, the monster should not dare to retaliate on a large scale. He has already been beaten by an immortal once. He knows that if he goes too far, he will definitely attract a real immortal. Next time, he may not be so lucky to escape. .

No matter what others do, it is definitely not a good thing for Gu Zheng. He was the one who killed the monster. Now that the Mirage Dragon Ball is in his hands, why would the monster come to trouble him.

Fortunately, he had already planned to leave and not be here. Otherwise, staying here would just mean waiting to die.

After hesitating, Gu Zheng still put away the Mirage Dragon Ball. As soon as the Mirage Dragon Ball was put away, the illusion immediately disappeared. All the children came out of the illusion and looked around in confusion.

Holding the box in his arms, Gu Zheng and Tao left the valley directly. They were the first children to come out. Before anyone outside could ask, he called Aunt Cui and Wu You and walked out together.

The other villagers didn't know the reason and could only wait at the door. After the sermon was over, they could not go in unless the immortal's people came out, otherwise they would not be allowed in at all.

After a while, another child came out. I didn’t know what to ask. It was completely different from the usual fairy’s followers bringing the children out. In the past, the fairy’s children would bring the selected children out first, and then let the unselected family members in. Claim your child, and the immortal entourage will leave with the chosen child.

This time, why didn't the immortal followers come out? All the people who came out were children.

The two people killed by Gu Zheng were the immortal followers. They had been simply buried by Gu Zheng. They would not be found if they did not search carefully. Even if they were found, Gu Zheng would have taken Wu You and the others far away and would not stay there. .

"Aunt Cui, preaching is a liar, and a monster deceives the hearts of children. All the children who were selected earlier were killed. If I break the monster's trap, he will definitely come to us. You can't stay here anymore. , just come with me!"

Gu Zheng had originally planned to take Aunt Cui away, but if he took him away, he would probably reveal his identity, otherwise his previous lies would be exposed sooner or later.

But exposure is exposure, and Gu Zheng doesn't care about it. Aunt Cui is so good to them, and Gu Zheng can't continue to deceive her. It would be best if Aunt Cui is willing to leave with them. If not, Gu Zheng will also place her somewhere else. The place must be settled first, otherwise she will suffer disaster if monsters come to take revenge.

"What a liar, what a monster, what nonsense are you talking about? Xiaotie, what's wrong with you?"

Aunt Cui looked shocked and asked Gu Zheng there, but Wu You's eyes widened. He knew Gu Zheng's identity, and it didn't matter what others said. If Gu Zheng said this, it might be true.

"It's too late. I'll explain it to you while I'm walking. Wu You, I'll give you a task. Spread this matter. Regardless of whether others believe it or not, spread it out and let everyone know. Can you do it?"

Gu Zheng shook his head gently. The monster was at least at the level of an immortal. He could fly and could walk much faster than them. They had to leave now. Once the two people failed to return to the monster on time, I'm afraid the monster would be suspicious. Came here.

By then, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

Pulling Aunt Cui, Gu Zheng explained all the way. By the way, he told Aunt Cui his true situation, telling Aunt Cui that he had no family at all, but was born from heaven and earth. He and Tao were inspired by Taoist Hongjun and had begun to cultivate immortality. They were Immortal cultivators have not yet reached the realm of immortals.

Gu Zheng killed all the porcupines in Aunt Cui's house before, in order to thank Aunt Cui for taking care of them during this period. Later, he came back specifically after hearing that the children who signed up would be punished if they didn't go.

As for Wu You, he is not his family at all. He is a person he picked up on the road who covets his little white dragon. He is controlled by his magic and is his subordinate. And he does not have any family at all.

When he said this, he also sent Aunt Cui to the horse and asked Aunt Cui to ride with him. As for Wu You, he didn't get this treatment at all and could only follow.

"Wu You, did you hear everything I said?"

After Gu Zheng finished speaking, regardless of whether Aunt Cui understood or believed it, he spoke to Wu Youyou again.

"I heard it, I heard it all!"

Wu You was shocked. He didn't expect that the famous Daxian's sermons turned out to be a huge scam. He had previously thought that if he had children in the future, he would get a quota and send them to listen to the sermons if he had the chance. Now that he thought about it, All terrible.

Fortunately, his family was poor and he didn't even have the qualifications. Otherwise, if he had participated when he was young, he wouldn't be who he is now.

"You spread the word about this right away. The sooner you spread it, the better. Aunt Cui and I will go first. After you spread the news, we will catch up immediately. We will go in this direction. No matter where we go, we will always go in this direction!"

Gu Zheng pointed in a random direction. It was not Fucheng, nor the direction where the monster was. Gu Zheng had asked about the monster's location before, just to avoid it. It was not suitable to go to Fucheng now. It took a long time for ordinary people to go back and forth between Fucheng and Fucheng. , but for flying monsters, it won't take more than a few days. If you continue to go there, you may be chased by monsters.

He also didn’t choose the direction of his previously made-up home. It might also be the place where he was chased by monsters. So he could only choose another direction and run away first. Give him time and wait until he succeeds in his cultivation and reaches the third level of the Tiexian Immortal Technique. On the fourth floor, or on the fifth floor, he can come back to seek revenge on the monster.

After reaching the fourth level, his spiritual thoughts will be strengthened, and then he can try to cultivate out of the divine realm again. Once he cultivates out of the divine realm, as long as the monster is at the same level as him, he will be sure to kill the monster.

"Remember, this news must be spread. You have to catch up quickly, otherwise you can't find me. You know exactly what will happen in a month!"

Seeing that Wu You agreed, Gu Zheng gave another order. Wu You still had to take it with him. It was still useful to him. He couldn't go out with only Aunt Cui, so he gave the order specifically. Gu Zheng had already planned it. He would only take two steps in this direction. God, if Wu You can't catch up with him, then he will change direction and won't wait for him.

"Okay, I know the road here. Master, you must wait for me. Walking a hundred miles in this direction, there is a village called Duzhuang. If I don't catch up with you when you get there, can you wait for me for half a day?"

Wu You nodded immediately. He knew what it was like to be restricted. If he couldn't find Gu Zheng, he would definitely be dead. I was afraid that it would be difficult to die by then, so he begged Gu Zheng to wait for him for half a day.

"Can!"

Gu Zheng nodded without thinking, and regardless of Wu You, he asked Xiao Bailong to run away and took Aunt Cui away.

"Xiao Tie, even if what you said is true, we have to go back and pack up. There are still a lot of things at home!"

Aunt Cui finally recovered from the shock and spoke hurriedly, while Gu Zheng shook his head again: "No, that monster is very strong. We have to run farther away to avoid him. We don't have much at home, but we want valuable ones." We can find and catch things at any time, we have the ability!”

Gu Zheng said, and when he passed by a small tree, he deliberately took a picture of it. The thick tree was chopped off by him, and the entire tree was lifted up by Gu Zheng and thrown aside.

This time, Aunt Cui was stunned again, and finally believed that Gu Zheng and the others were not ordinary people.

She liked these two children very much from the beginning, but she never expected that these two children were born from heaven and earth without fathers and mothers, and they could also practice Taoism. If she had known this, why would she have sent them to listen to Taoism? It's not necessary, but then again, if she doesn't do this, Gu Zheng will sneak away and never come back, and he won't be able to discover the big scam of preaching.

Xiao Tao didn't know anything, he just smiled stupidly, with a piece of cake in his mouth. This was the dry food made before Gu Zheng, and he was given it as a snack.

It was more than a hundred miles, and Xiao Bailong arrived there in one day, neither fast nor slow. This was the result of resting for a while on the road. They could run all night, but Aunt Cui couldn't. Aunt Cui didn't have such a body.

After arriving there, Gu Zheng found a place outside the village to hide Aunt Cui and Tao, telling them not to come out. He hid himself and waited for Wu You to come back. Since he promised Wu You, he would definitely wait.

Half a day later, Wu You came running all the way from outside, sweating profusely and exhausted. It looked like he had been running all night without stopping.

"Water, water, master, do you have any water?"

Seeing Gu Zheng, Wu You sat down on the ground, his throat moving continuously, and he spoke in a hoarse voice.

"There is water, but you are not suitable for it now. Let me recuperate you first!"

Gu Zheng refused his request for water. At this time, he was exhausted and even dehydrated. He was not suitable to drink water right away. Gu Zheng still knew this. When he was not cultivating immortality, wasn't this what marathons on earth were like? Come on, a person ran for too long and finally died of exhaustion.

He used Xianli to condition Wu You, then took out the water bag and let him drink it all in one breath.

"Master, they have all dispersed, but many people don't believe it. Now everything is going crazy over there, because they can't find the immortal and his followers. Many people are asking around, looking for this immortal's dojo, and want to ask. after all!"

"Looking for his dojo?"

Gu Zheng smiled slightly, what kind of dojo was the Monster Cave, but they were destined to not find it. In order to hide themselves, the two of them never told the truth. They didn't say where their king was practicing, for fear that someone who missed the child would look for him. , exposed.

Even if the children come back, they never mention this. Now if they are asked to look for it, it is impossible to find it.

It's better if he can't find it. If he finds it, it's not a good thing to arrive at the monster's nest. These villagers have no ability to take revenge at all. They can only wait for him to succeed in cultivation. He is rebuilding now. He has no resources and will be slower. Once he has the resources, He believes that he will soon reach the realm of immortals. At that time, he can explore the reality of this monster, and ordinary monsters can be eliminated directly.
