Chapter 973

Wu You did not dare to neglect the things arranged by Gu Zheng.

When he arrived at Gu Zheng, the preaching had spread to several nearby villages. Many people who sent their children were shocked when they heard the rumor, whether it was true or not. If it was true, it was like they pushed their children into the fire pit with their own hands, and they still wanted their children to cultivate Taoism and become immortals. It would be good if they were eaten by monsters later.

If it was false, it meant that someone had made up a rumor about immortals, and he would definitely be punished by immortals in the future.

There were people who believed it, and there were also people who did not believe it. Most of the people who believed it were slightly smarter and could think. This preaching was indeed full of weirdness, and this rumor was also very detailed. It talked about the previous visit to relatives, and no one knew where the Taoist temple of this great immortal was.

Especially those who had seen the children who returned to their hometown to visit relatives recalled that it was indeed the same as the rumor.

The children who came back basically had obvious marks, so that even if they changed their appearance when they grew up, they could still be recognized by the birthmarks. Moreover, after these children grew up and came back, they neither brought anything to their families nor accompanied their families. They just said how great they were now, and after showing off, they would leave the next day.

Basically, every child who came back was like this, all the same. It was fine when no one said it, but when someone said it, it really felt like a suspicious point.

But in general, there were still few who believed it, and many who did not.

Especially those families who sent their children to practice Taoism, basically did not believe it. Just like Gu Zheng guessed, they were unwilling to believe such a result at all. They always thought that their children were practicing Taoism and could become immortals in the future, but someone told them that your child had died a long time ago, and his heart was dug out and eaten by someone. It would be strange if he could accept it.

Wu You did it very successfully. The speed of the spread of this matter was very fast. People in ten villages all knew about it in two days. After five days, many villages around knew about it. After ten days, most villages around knew about it.

Twenty days later, the fastest news had reached the capital city. Someone rode a fast horse and sent it back, which caused a stir. Some people in the capital city also sent their children here and they were selected. This news was undoubtedly a thunderbolt for them.

In these twenty days, Gu Zheng has traveled more than 2,000 miles from here, an average of hundreds of miles a day, which made Wu You exhausted.

Although tired, Wu You gained a lot. His body is much stronger than before. In order to keep up, Gu Zheng would use his immortal power to help him comb his meridians every day. After twenty days, his body is more than twice as good as before, and his strength is nearly twice as strong.

This result made Wu You very happy, and he was even willing to keep walking like this to improve his body.

It's not that he didn't think about asking Gu Zheng to teach him how to cultivate immortality, but he didn't dare. He knew what his current identity was. To put it bluntly, he was a captive slave. He had no right to make any conditions now. Serving Gu Zheng well, not making the master angry, and not being punished was already the best result.

These days, Aunt Cui has completely accepted this matter.

Not only did Gu Zheng show his ability to split a tree with one hand, but he also showed a lot of strength along the way, including encountering a tiger, which was killed by Gu Zheng with one punch, and other wild animals, basically killing one by one. A lot of furs of these animals have been accumulated, and the bones and meat are still in other villages and towns for Wu You to exchange for some dry food and other things.

On the 25th day after Gu Zheng left, a black smoke suddenly came from the sky where he was preaching, and a person wearing animal skins, who was obviously a monster at first glance, landed here.

There were scales on this person's face. The two people only knew what species this monster was from the scales, but if Gu Zheng saw it, he would definitely recognize it. This is a snake monster, a snake monster with a high bloodline, with horns faintly visible on the forehead. This is a snake monster with dragon blood.

"Who killed my people and took my dragon ball!"

He searched the valley and soon saw the bodies of his two men. He did not find the bodies first, but the villagers who entered the valley twenty days ago found them and then wrapped them in a mat and threw them here.

Fortunately, this valley is often cleaned up and there are not many wild beasts, but the bodies are bitten a lot, and the appearance of the two people can be barely recognized.

His roar is basically equivalent to admitting that he did all this. Just like the rumors before, it was really a monster. Many people who saw the monster were scared and ran away. The monster caught one and asked about the situation.

After asking, the person he caught was also killed and torn in half, which was very cruel.

This time, there is no need to say it is a rumor. Facts have proved that the previous rumors are indeed true. The monster really came to the door. Some prepared people began to hide, and those who were not prepared also fled after receiving the news.

It is much better to flee than to stay in the village and let the monster kill them all.

This monster captured more than a dozen people, all of whom were killed by him. He basically knew the whole story. This time, like before, there was no problem, but for some reason, two children saw through it and killed two of his men.

Gu Zheng and Tao came out first and left immediately. After that, news about the monster spread. In addition, Gu Zheng and Aunt Cui were not seen afterwards, so many people guessed that the incident must have been caused by them. When the monster asked, they told everything.

When the monster found Aunt Cui, the house was covered with dust, and it was obvious that people had been gone for a long time.

The monster was so angry that he tore down Aunt Cui's house and started killing people in the village. Aunt Cui's village was in trouble. The monster flew here very fast, and they didn't receive the news at all. Fortunately, some people who believed in it hid in advance, otherwise the whole village would be in trouble.

After that, the monster searched the area for a long time, but couldn't find Gu Zheng, so he went back.

For the monster, the death of two subordinates was death. Although he felt a little sad, he could still recruit such human subordinates. But the Mirage Dragon Pearl was very important to him. It was a treasure he got by chance and the key to his transformation into a dragon in the future, so he had to find it back.

The monster left, but he also said that the people here should hand over his Mirage Dragon Pearl, otherwise he would come to kill people once a year. For the Dragon Ball, the monster didn't care about worrying about human immortals coming to trouble him.

Gu Zheng didn't know about these things. He had been traveling with Aunt Cui. They stopped two months later. At this time, they had walked more than 5,000 miles. If it wasn't for their bad luck, the monster would not have found them.

Gu Zheng was not idle for two months. He was practicing while traveling. He finally reached 70% of the second level of the Tiexian Xian Jue. His current strength is basically equivalent to the early stage of the third level of internal strength, and his strength has increased a lot.

Unfortunately, he is still not as good as Tao. This guy's strength is equivalent to the early stage of the fourth level, which is one level higher than Gu Zheng. I believe it won't take long for Tao to practice to the stage of refining essence into qi and become a real immortal.

For Gu Zheng, there is another good news in the past two months, that is, he found two kinds of food ingredients for making Yuan-increasing food along the way. The quality is good and both reached the medium level.

One of these two raw materials was collected by Gu Zheng himself, and the other was exchanged by Wu You. It was indeed much more convenient to have Wu You around. He couldn't show up for many things, but Wu You could. In this kind of transaction, Wu You could exchange their useless things for what they needed, and exchange them for the ingredients used by Gu Zheng.

Of course, only two pieces are definitely not enough, but having two pieces is always a start. Next, as long as he is willing, I believe he can find a set of raw materials for the Yuan-enhancing Food Repair. With the Yuan-enhancing Food Repair, his strength will increase faster.

Baisha Village is a relatively large village with more than 600 households and thousands of people.

Because there are so many people, a market has also been formed here. It will be open every five days. Everyone will bring their unnecessary or extra things here to exchange. Not only people from this village, but also people from many surrounding villages will come early in the morning.

There is a forest more than ten miles away from the market. Five miles inside the forest, several thatched houses were built at some point. Gu Zheng temporarily lived here. Ordinary villagers dare not stay in the forest. There are more wild animals in the forest and many dangers. Unless hunting, they will not enter such a forest.

This time, Gu Zheng is not going to live in a crowded place, but he can't leave too far. It's just right here. Wild animals are not afraid of them at all. They come here purely to give them wealth. Here, they are not disturbed by others. It is a very good place to live in seclusion.

For Gu Zheng, he now has an enemy, that is, the monster. Crowded places are no longer absolutely safe. Here he can hide himself and exchange what he needs from time to time. He settled down temporarily.

"Orchid grass, not bad, Wu You, I'll give you another credit!"

On this day, Gu Zheng nodded continuously while looking at the things Wu You brought back. It was another raw material that could be used for the Yuan-increasing Food Cultivation. Although it was only of ordinary grade, it was enough. As of today, they have been living in seclusion here for two months. Gu Zheng's Tiexian Xian Jue has reached 90% of the second level, but he has not been able to break through the last 10%. He has been trapped here for half a month.

These days, Wu You has not been idle. He has been collecting things for Gu Zheng. The raw materials for the Yuan-increasing Food Cultivation have been collected for 70%. If he finds a few more things, he can make a large portion of the Yuan-increasing Food Cultivation.

Some raw materials can still be made into double portions. As long as the raw materials are enough, the Yuan-increasing Food Cultivation will always be available in the future.

"Thank you, Master!"

Wu You was also full of joy. Gu Zheng had promised him that if he made enough contributions, he could take him in and let him cultivate immortals in the future.

Although he is old, there are enough raw materials to clean his marrow and cut his bones again. It is not without hope for cultivation. This is the early days of the prehistoric world, not the earth. The immortal essence is very sufficient. If he works hard, he may not have no hope of cultivating to become an immortal.

There is also Aunt Cui. If she is willing, she can also take her to cultivate.

It is true that Aunt Cui is old. Even if she cleanses her marrow and cuts her bones at this age, her cultivation achievements are very ordinary. Whether she can cultivate to become an immortal is still unknown. However, because this is the prehistoric world, there will be many things that can prolong her life. If it doesn't work, Gu Zheng can help her increase her lifespan by a few decades. A monster can do it, and he doesn't believe that he can't do it.

With these decades, it should be no problem to cultivate to the realm of immortals. Whether they can cultivate to the golden immortal, or even the Daluo golden immortal, it depends on their luck.

It is not easy to become a Golden Immortal or a Daluo Golden Immortal. Among so many outstanding disciples in Shushan, only the elders can finally achieve the status of Daluo Golden Immortal. Even if they cannot achieve the status of Daluo Golden Immortal, being able to become a Heavenly Immortal and having a lifespan of thousands of years is also a great fortune for them. The difference between a few decades and a few thousand is hundreds of times.

However, Gu Zheng hasn't told Aunt Cui yet that Gu Zheng doesn't have the ability to make marrow cleansing food. Telling her now just makes her excited. She thinks about it every day, why not give her this surprise after she has the ability.

Gu Zheng's cultivation was temporarily trapped, but Tao was not. Now Tao's strength has reached the early stage of the fifth level, and his progress is very fast. His early stage of the fifth level is much more powerful than ordinary people. He is not a real immortal, and he is not now. his opponent.

What Daozu Hongjun said at the beginning has always been in Gu Zheng's heart, and it is also what worries him the most.

Hongjun Daozu said that he had an evil thought in his heart that could not be eliminated, so he named him Taotie and himself Tie. Gu Zheng knew that there was an ancient ferocious beast called Taotie, but now is the ancient period, even more ancient than the ancient times. , I don’t know if the ferocious beast named Taotie has appeared, or the name Taotie may come from him and Taotie.

Of course, this is just Gu Zheng's guess. Gu Zheng still doesn't know what it will look like, but he is already in the early days of ancient times. I believe that as long as he waits and waits patiently, all this will be revealed.

For him right now, the most important thing is to quickly improve his cultivation.

Baisha Village is too far away from the place where he preached, five to six thousand miles. This distance was nothing to Gu Zheng before, but now he is just an ordinary cultivator, a cultivator who has not reached the realm of immortals. This distance , just like the distance from the easternmost point to the westernmost point when we were in China on Earth.

If you have a plane, you can get there in a few hours, by train it only takes two days, and by car you can get there four or five days. But if you just walk, it will take several months. The distance is too far.

The news over there has not reached here at all. Wu You has been paying attention to Gu Zheng. There is no news, so he can only give up in the end. After all, this is just a small village, not Fucheng. The actual distance here is not closer than Fucheng. close.

"Master, I heard today that Mangshan is going to hold an annual grand fair. It will last for ten days. People from hundreds of miles around will attend. There are so many people, so lively, and so many things. , but Mangshan is more than 130 miles away from us, and the big market will be held in half a month. If we want to go, we have to advance! "

Wu You came back that day and immediately reported a piece of news to Gu Zheng, a piece of news he had just received.

The Mangshan Grand Market is held once a year for ten days each time. It is the largest market within hundreds or even thousands of miles. It has more people and is more lively than the markets in other cities.

The locals all knew about this. Gu Zheng and the others had just arrived not long ago, and Wu You didn't go to the village every day. He only went there occasionally to inquire about information and see if there was anything he needed, so it was a bit late to hear the news, but still There's enough time.

"Big Bazaar!"

Gu Zheng's eyes lit up slightly. It has been almost a year since he was born. Gu Zheng already has a deep understanding of the living conditions of humans in the early prehistoric times. The life of farmers here is actually very similar to that of ancient China.

But these are only the people nearby. The prehistoric era is too big. It is not clear whether there are people living in primitive conditions in other places. At least this is what it is like here now.

"We're all going this time!"

Just when Wu You was about to speak, Gu Zheng suddenly said, "Let's go." Both Wu You and Aunt Cui were stunned for a moment. In order to prevent the monster from coming, Gu Zheng rarely went out into the woods. Even when Wu You went out, he had to make some changes. It's just a quick look, just to prevent being discovered by the monster.

There are a lot of people in the big market. Although it is basically impossible for people from five thousand miles away to come here, it is only possible. If someone who knows them finds their traces, if this reaches the ears of the monster, , I'm afraid none of them can escape.

"Let's all go. Since it's a big market, there must be a lot of things. Even if I don't have what I want, as long as I have something to replace it, I will be in seclusion during this period. We will set off three days before the big market, but before that Wu You, you have to find a way to buy a carriage. There are some porcupine skins here, so you can sell them!"

Gu Zheng said again that they have been here for almost half a year and have been hiding for half a year. The monster has not been found, and there is no movement. This means that the monster has not looked in the right direction, or has not come out to look for him at all.

It's okay for Wu You to go to the big market alone, but there are many things that Wu You can't see. He might miss it. It's not a possibility, but a certainty. In such a big market, there will definitely be what he needs. It's impossible to tell Wu You everything he needs in detail. There are too many things to talk about.

This requires him to go there in person so as not to miss anything.

What is needed for the ancient struggle is not only the food cultivation of increasing energy, but also other food cultivation such as grass-returning food cultivation, high-wind food cultivation, etc. Don't miss it if you can find the raw materials. In addition to the raw materials, if there are other better raw materials He would also want it. This is the ancient world, not the earth. There is definitely a possibility of these things appearing in the market.

But their own safety also needs to be carefully considered, so Gu Zheng asked Wu You to buy a carriage. Having a carriage would at least prevent them from encountering more people.

Gu Zheng and Aunt Cui will also change themselves a little. They are usually in the carriage. When they come out, Gu Zheng will be extremely vigilant. It is so unlucky to be seen by someone they know. Whoever sees them It will definitely behave differently, and Gu Zheng will be able to detect it in advance.

Another point is that after buying everything, Gu Zheng was ready to move and leave again. In this way, even if someone slipped through the net and found them, as long as they didn't follow them, go back to report and wait for the monster to arrive, Gu Zheng would have gone somewhere else. Overall, safety was absolutely guaranteed.
