The Urban Successor of God of Gluttony

Chapter 252: Unparalleled delicacy

Views:

In addition to opening his voice, the old man Eric, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately started chanting in their language.

"Don't play tricks, did you do something secretly just now?"

Not only Xie Hao's eyes were serious, but even Yang Jie, who was smiling like a tiger, began to ask coldly.

"What are you pretending to be? Isn't it normal for the flames to suddenly burst out in such a strong wind?"

Gu Zheng imitated Eric's accent, and said something with a smile on his face.

"You two ignorant outsiders, that is the wrath of Lord Vulcan!"

After praying, the old man Eric gave the two of them a hard look. And the bonfire on the ground was also burning up and down at this time, like the rhythm of breathing, which looked very strange.

"Look, Master Vulcan is angry, you quickly kneel down and apologize to Master Vulcan, or leave here and don't implicate us!"

The old man Eric looked very anxious, while Yang Jie and Xie Hao frowned. As inner strength practitioners and members of the sect, they knew better than ordinary people that ghosts really existed, but ghosts in this environment Survival is also extremely difficult and hard to come across.

Before, they suspected that Gu Zheng was causing trouble, but how could such a level of trouble be done by a brat like Gu Zheng? What's more, the current ancient disputes have also been solemnly moved aside, as if they are deeply afraid of harming the fish in Chi.

"What are you two still doing?"

The old man Eric had an upturned beard, and he reached out to touch the wallet on his waist, as if he wanted to refund the money and chase him away.

Xie Hao and Yang Jie looked at each other, Yang Jie said to Xie Hao in a low voice: "Do as he said first, and see what's going on!"

Yang Jie said Wan, and the two of them knelt down towards the dark cliff with a 'plop'.

"Here, Lord Vulcan is in the flames now!" The old man Eric pointed to the bonfire.

"You two go!"

Opposite the bonfire is Eric and Gu Zheng. Although Xie Hao and Yang Jie are just testing, they don't want to be taken advantage of by them.

The old man Eric stood aside, and Gu Zheng, who was secretly laughing in his heart, also followed.

The incomprehensible minority voices sounded again. The devout old man Eric tried his best to beg Lord Vulcan to forgive the ignorant Xie Hao and Yang Jie.

Seeing that the two of them were almost kneeling, Gu Zheng had a thought, and the beating flames returned to normal. Now his level of immortal power, coupled with the enhancement of Huo Yuan Pill, is no longer the first level when he first obtained the Fire Control Art. Distance control is still very easy to do.

The crisis of Master Vulcan passed, and the old man Eric didn't have the heart to eat and drink. After telling Gu Zheng to rest early, he got into the sleeping bag in the cave.

"You are not a tourist!"

As soon as old Eric left, Xie Hao, who was sitting by the fire, spoke to Gu Zheng.

"How did you see that?"

Gu Zheng glanced at Xie Hao, who had serious eyes, and secretly smiled in his heart. He is a real cultivator, unless he shows off his skills, otherwise people like Xie Hao and Yang Jie will not be able to see anything at all.

"You're a little too calm." Yang Jie also said, he observed more carefully.

"No way, I was also very scared when Lord Vulcan appeared!" Gu Zheng laughed.

"You..." Yang Jie blushed, but he didn't know how to refute for a while. He didn't believe that there was a Vulcan master, but he believed that what happened just now was very abnormal, and something was playing tricks and controlling him.

"Ming people don't speak dark words, we are disciples of the Qingcheng sect, which sect are you from?"

The more I look at Gu Zheng, the more suspicious I feel, but if I'm not sure of Gu Zheng's identity, it's really hard for Xie Hao to attack.

"Is it the Qingcheng faction?"

Gu Zheng murmured, his affection for the two fell again.

Both being sects in Sichuan province, the Emei faction and the Qingcheng faction did not deal with each other. After the Emei faction fell into disrepair, the Qingcheng faction made a lot of trouble. It is not too much to say that these two sects are feuds!

"Which sect do you belong to?" Yang Jie asked patiently.

"I don't know what kind of martial arts, I'm just a tourist."

Since it was a world feud, and the other party hated it so much, Gu Zheng was happy to make them unhappy. If they wanted to know, they would not tell them.

"Boy, don't toast and don't eat fine wine!"

Xie Hao let out a sharp drink.

"Hey... Since you are a tourist, don't blame me for bullying you, give me your naan, I'm hungry!"

Yang Jie smiled slyly, starting from robbing the naan bread, throwing stones to ask for directions. If Gu Zheng obediently gave it to him, there will be a series of troubles waiting for him in the future.

"Would you like some naan bread?"

Gu Zheng looked at Yang Jie with a smile, then handed him the naan bread, and said word by word: "You should eat shit!"

As soon as the words fell, the originally quiet bonfire instantly rolled up, and the naan bread in Gu Zheng's hand fell into the fire pit.

"bass!"

As if being stabbed by a needle, Yang Jie and Xie Hao stood up all of a sudden, looking at Gu Zheng's eyes, there was a little fear in addition to the solemnity, they are not stupid, if they can't see it by this time, the weirdness of the flames and If the ancient disputes were involved, they would have lived in vain for decades.

"Don't mess with me, or Master Vulcan will be angry!"

Gu Zheng smiled strangely, took a deep look at the two of them, turned around and walked towards the cave.

"Which sect do you belong to?"

Yang Jie gritted his teeth and asked, but he didn't say that he was a disciple or a senior, and he was afraid to hide it.

"Is this all you can do?"

Xie Hao also spoke out, but Gu Zheng would naturally not answer their questions.

The cave is only one person deep and about 50 centimeters high, and there are many stones placed at the entrance of the cave. After people enter the sleeping bag in the cave, they can simply seal the entrance of the cave with stones to prevent the cold. As for the man-eating beasts, even though it is still some distance away from the Bayinbulak Grassland, there have been no incidents of wild beasts hurting people for many years.

There are not only earthen dog-skin sleeping bags in the cave, but also a thick dog-skin mattress at the bottom of the cave, which makes it very warm to lie in. However, compared to the comfort of Gu Zheng and Eric, Yang Jie and Xie Hao seemed very sad.

The old man Eric didn't leave any extra fire outside, and after Gu Zheng entered the cave to rest, the campfire outside quickly went out, and as the night fell, the bone wind blew more and more sharply!

At first, Yang Jie and Xie Hao could withstand it with their cultivation, and they even punched to warm up. However, they soon discovered that this alone could not resist the cold at all.

"What should I do? Do you want a sleeping bag from that dead old man?" Yang Jie asked with trembling lips.

"The wind is so sharp, it must be a bone-bone wind! I have heard people say that the bone-bone wind doesn't last too long, at most about forty minutes. And the time has passed since the wind started. It can last half an hour, and it’s okay if we don’t hold on for a while. Anyway, we are also disciples of the Mingmen sect. We didn’t ask for sleeping bags before, but now we can’t take it anymore. Maybe we will be punished by that kid How can you laugh at me! Freezing to death is a minor matter, but saving face is a major issue!"

Xie Hao stamped his feet on the spot, rubbing his hands next to his mouth with the cold.

"No, we suffer here, but that kid is so comfortable, we can't go on like this!" Yang Jie gritted his teeth.

"Then what do you want?"

Xie Hao's inquiry was not very confident. It's not that the two of them had never communicated after Gu Zheng left. Although they are still uncertain about Gu Zheng's strength, they have defined him as an existence that should not be easily provoked.

"If you don't try it, it's still just a guess. Besides, he's in a cave now. Such terrain is very unfavorable to him. Even if he has a whole body of skills, it's still difficult to use it in such a place."

Yang Jie looked at Gu Zheng's cave, his eyes gradually became excited.

"How do you want to deal with him?" Xie Hao hesitated for a moment, but his eyes were also excited.

"Just teach him a lesson, let him know that our Qingcheng faction is not easy to mess with!"

When Yang Jie finished speaking, the two smiled at each other, and tiptoed towards the cave where Gu Zheng was.

"Sleep to death, you son of a bitch!"

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the cave, the excited Xie Hao kicked his feet like the wind, and directly kicked the stone blocking the entrance of the cave into it.

Yang Jie's expression turned ugly for a moment, Xie Hao was so careless when he did things, but now it was a sneak attack, and Gu Zheng was in the cave again, kicking the stone so vigorously, if Gu Zheng's cultivation is not good, It is possible to be crushed to death.

"Huh?"

Worried only for a moment, Yang Jie immediately made a suspicious voice, judging from the movement of the stone entering the hole, it didn't look like it hit someone.

"I call you a fairy, it doesn't hurt, does it?"

Although Xie Hao was also puzzled, he still lifted his foot again and kicked the stone into the cave.

"this… "

The faces of Yang Jie and Xie Hao suddenly turned ugly. This time the stone flew in to make them sure that there was indeed no one in the cave, only dog skin mattresses and sleeping bags!

"What the hell!"

Xie Hao only felt the hairs on his back stand up all of a sudden.

Gu Zheng entered the cave, Xie Hao and Yang Jie saw it with their own eyes, and Gu Zheng sealed the entrance of the cave from the inside, Xie Hao and Yang Jie also paid attention. But now, the stones sealing the entrance of the cave are still in good condition, but there is no shadow of Gu Zheng in the cave. This is a strange event that cannot be explained at all.

At this time, the blowing wind had stopped, and the moon and stars were sparse in the sky, but Xie Hao and Yang Jie felt that it was colder than before.

"Look carefully at the cave, maybe there is another mystery inside!"

Yang Jie's voice was dignified, and he bowed to get into the hole.

"Are you looking for me?"

Gu Zheng's voice, accompanied by strong wind, suddenly sounded behind the two of them.

"ah… "

Two screams of pain came out at the same time, Xie Hao was kicked upside down by Gu Zheng, and Yang Jie was also kicked by Gu Zheng to eat shit, and got into a small stone cave.

Today is a full moon, under the bright moonlight, the smile on the corner of Gu Zheng's mouth looks a little scary.

"What kind of mountain spirit ghost are you?"

Xie Hao, who was clutching his stomach, asked in horror. The sudden disappearance and appearance of Gu Zheng really frightened him.

Gu Zheng didn't answer immediately, but kicked Yang Jie's foot that was about to climb out, causing him to howl like a pig.

"The mountain spirit is my slave, and the ghosts are under my control. Who do you think I am? Jie Jie..."

Gu Zheng turned his head slowly in a stiff posture, stuck out his tongue after a strange smile, and licked his lips with a bloodthirsty expression.

I'm used to seriousness, and it's really good to pretend to be scary occasionally, at least Xie Hao's eyes can't help but open to the maximum!

"Corpse King!"

Xie Hao screamed, holding his head and ran into the distance.

"Ha ha… "

Gu Zheng couldn't help laughing, he was just scaring people, but he really didn't expect Xie Hao to think of the so-called corpse king.

"What's the situation!"

The old man Eric finally poked his head out of the cave at the right time.

"It's okay, we were just kidding around. Old man, where are the car keys?"

Gu Zheng winked at Eric.

Eric had already heard a general idea of what happened outside, and without saying anything, he gave Gu Zheng the car keys.

In the middle of the night, Gu Zheng decided to go to the car to spend the night.

I dared to sleep in the stone cave before because Gu Zheng didn't care about these two people at all, and the combined strength of the two of them is more than half of Gu Zheng's, but now I know that these two people really have bad intentions. It's better to go to the car to rest directly, they can't sneak attack themselves through the car.

Not too embarrassing Yang Jie in the cave, Gu Zheng just kicked him hard on the sole of the foot when he left. This kick, together with the previous one, will at least make him incapable of fighting for the rest of the day. It can be regarded as a precautionary measure!

"If you don't find me happy again, it won't be so easy next time."

Throwing a word to Yang Jie, Gu Zheng got into the jeep.

Sure enough, things like bluffing people can only be played for fun. Not long after, Xie Hao, who was scared away, came back, and the reason why he dared to come back was naturally because he felt that Gu Zheng was not some corpse king.

However, after experiencing the incident just now, Xie Hao and Yang Jie were both honest. Although they still had a small conversation, they looked in the direction of the jeep with fear in their eyes.

After monitoring and understanding Hao and Yang Jie for a while, Gu Zheng entered the state of meditation. Although his progress in cultivation does not depend on this, meditation is actually a kind of cultivation of the state of mind.

I don't know how long it took, Gu Feng, who was immersed in a peaceful state of mind, suddenly heard a trace of laughter.

As if a fool was laughing, the weird laughter seemed particularly terrifying in the quiet night!

"What's wrong with Xie Hao?" Gu Zheng frowned, and he could tell that it was Xie Hao who was smiling.

"Giggle..."

Laughter came again, but this time the person who laughed was Yang Jie, and his voice was also very weird, like a man learning how a woman laughs, although the smile is not like, but it is natural and excessive!

Gu Zheng was on one side, and his eyes fell on Jie Hao and Yang Jie through the car window, and he felt his hairs explode in an instant!

Under the bright moonlight, Xie Hao and Yang Jie are dancing to the moon. Yang Jie, who was not a girl at all, looks very feminine at this time, exuding a sense of "charm" towards Xie Hao in every gesture. That Xie Hao also stared at him infatuatedly, the two of them danced and laughed, totally forgetting themselves.

However, it was not Yang Jie and Xie Hao who really made Gu Zheng's hair stand on end, but a black fox standing on a stone next to them!

"Cuckoo..."

A strange light sound came from the fox's grinning mouth, like a laugh, and its eyes, the same color as the moon, were extraordinarily bright!

The bright moonlight, the pitch-black fox, and the strange pupils.

The moment Gu Zheng saw the fox's eyes through the car window, he felt a "boom" in his head, feeling like he was about to lose his mind.

With the tip of his tongue biting, the ancient power of Zheng Xian was activated, and the feeling of losing his mind disappeared instantly.

The black fox, who wasn't looking at the jeep originally, seemed to have sensed Gu Zheng's observation, and turned to look at Gu Zheng.

The car windows are covered with solar film, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible to see the situation inside the car from the window, but Gu Zheng has a feeling that the black fox is looking straight into his eyes! Moreover, the feeling of losing his mind is stronger than before, which also makes Gu Zheng feel that if he doesn't look away, he will immediately become the same as Yang Jie and Xie Hao.

Forced by the sight of a fox, Gu Zheng, who was dissatisfied in his heart, frowned, and looked hard at those strange eyes.

"Gee..."

The black fox outside the car window yelled, and with a trembling body, it hurriedly staggered to meet Gu Zheng's gaze, and ran to the distance without looking back.

After the black fox disappeared, Yang Jie and Xie Hao, who were in a state of madness, suddenly fainted on the ground.

"Qi Ling, what's the matter with this black fox?"

Gu Zheng wondered, except for those strange eyes, he didn't feel any other difference from the black fox.

"This black fox is already quite spiritual, but it is not the monster you guessed. However, its blood is quite special, and it is a descendant of the ancient demon cultivator. It is for this reason that its pupils have some magical powers. ability."

The voice of Qi Ling rang in Gu Zheng's mind. There were many demon cultivators in ancient times. Many monsters could transform into human forms, and they were very powerful. There are many such demon cultivators in domestic myths and legends.

"It turns out that's the case, but it's just a descendant of the ancient demon cultivator, who can have such powerful eyes, which really shouldn't be underestimated!"

Thinking of the brief exchange of glances before, Gu Zheng paused and said, "By the way, are those two guys okay?"

"The matter between the two of them is not big or small. It can be said that they have been confused."

Qi Ling's voice was also paused, and he became a bit blamed: "It's you, it's better not to be brave when you encounter such weird things in the future. Since you know that the black fox's eyes are unusual, don't be hard on it. Fortunately, it's not a demon, it's just that the blood has endowed it with magical abilities, otherwise you would be the one who suffers! Your staring at each other just now seemed simple, but it was actually a kind of confrontation of consciousness."

"Okay, I see."

Qi Ling's accusation actually brought out a trace of worry, but Gu Zheng didn't argue about it. After all, he was indeed a little reckless in what happened just now.

"Such a strange beast appeared before entering the Tianshan Mountains. This trip may be more dangerous than imagined. You should be more careful."

Qi Ling's voice softened, and after admonishing Gu Zheng, he said nothing more. At this time, the old man Eric also got out of the cave, and approached the jeep on tiptoe.

"Ancient struggle."

The old man Eric whispered through the car window.

"I'm fine."

Gu Zheng opened the car door, and he understood that the reason why old Eric did this must be because he saw the strange black fox.

"You are not an ordinary person!" Eric said, looking up at Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng smiled and didn't explain anything.

"Old man, what do you know about the black fox just now? You don't look very panicked!"

"They are evil creatures on the grassland. When I was young, I encountered them once and almost lost my life. However, as long as you don't look into their eyes, it doesn't matter. Older people, more or less I have heard some legends about them, as long as they appear, there must be a big event happening in the Tianshan Mountains, and this may have a lot to do with you mainlanders going to Heilongzui!" Eric said worriedly.

"They?" Gu Zheng was thoughtful.

"Yes, I met foxes when I was young."

After the old man Eric finished speaking, he muttered in their language, as if praying again.

Gu Zheng got out of the car, woke up Yang Jie and Xie Hao, and got them into the car. The two were confused by the fox's eyes, and they became like dementia, most of the time they would just be in a daze and mumbling to themselves.

As the sky was getting brighter, Gu Zheng and his party left Huoshenao and continued on towards the Bayinbulak Grassland.

During the subsequent trip, nothing special happened again. After nearly two days, Gu Zheng and others finally approached the Tianshan Mountains under the leadership of Eric's old man and saw the so-called Black Dragon Mouth.

The so-called black dragon's mouth is actually a canyon, but according to local legends, this canyon was formed by the dragon's mouth after the gods beheaded an evil black dragon.

The snow here is only a thin layer, and black rocks can be seen everywhere in the canyon.

In the open space outside Heilongzui, there are more than a dozen tents erected, and some people are active outside the tents.

As Gu Zheng knew, almost all the people who stayed near Heilongzui were from various sects in the mainland. And seeing someone approaching, those people outside the tent basically walked towards Gu Zheng and the others. However, when it turned out that the person was not from their same sect, the people who had come all turned around and went back.

"Friends, please stay!" Gu Zheng shouted to stop the nearest person.

Today's sects may have relatively uniform attire when they are in the sect, but they are often dressed in casual clothes when they go out to do business, so it is rare to be able to tell the sect they belong to from the clothes.

"What's up?"

The person who was told to stop by Gu Zheng was about the same age as him, and his appearance was considered kind.

"Excuse me, where are the people from the Emei Sect?"

There was no phone signal here, and Elder Wuyou and the others arrived earlier than him, so Gu Zheng didn't know where they were or if they were in these tents.

"Emei Sect? I haven't seen anyone from the Emei Sect here." The person being asked frowned, then shook his head.

Gu Zheng wondered, looking at the other party's appearance, it doesn't look like a lie, and there is no need to lie, but if this is the case, where is the other person in the door? The agreement was to meet near Heilongzui!

"Then, where are the people from the Qingcheng faction?" Gu Zheng asked again.

"Qingcheng faction, it's in that tent!"

The person being questioned pointed to a tent, seeing that Gu Zheng had nothing to ask, he turned around and walked back.

"It's fine to come here, but things may be a little troublesome now, can the old man come with me?"

Gu Zheng looked at the old man Eric beside him.

"OK!"

The old man Eric nodded, reached out to pat Yang Jie and Xie Hao, and they followed Gu Zheng's footsteps towards the tent belonging to the Qingcheng faction, like puppets on strings.

Yang Jie and Xie Hao were confused by the black fox, and their situation has not improved so far. Originally, Gu Zheng planned to let other people from the Emei faction tell the people from the Qingcheng faction what happened after they were brought to Heilongzui. elders.

Although the Qingcheng School and the Emei School are feuds, the two schools still try to put on an amiable appearance on the surface. After all, they are from the same lineage of Shushan, and any enmity is private.

After bringing Yang Jie and Xie Hao to the tent of the Qingcheng Sect, a middle-aged disciple of the Qingcheng Sect walked out of the tent.

"Junior Brother Yang, Junior Brother Xie, why did you come here until now!"

When the middle-aged man finished speaking, the smile on his face had turned into doubt, and his eyes immediately fell on Gu Zheng.

"The thing is..."

Gu Zheng recounted what happened at Huoshen'ao, and in the process of his recounting, another female disciple of Qingcheng Sect walked out of the tent.

"There is such a thing?"

The middle-aged female disciple looked at Gu Zheng suspiciously.

"Anyway, the Qingcheng faction would like to thank you for sending someone here. I don't know which sect your friend is a disciple of?"

The middle-aged man clasped his fists at Gu Gu, his tone sounded polite, but there was also a look of suspicion in his eyes.

"I'm from the Emei School." Gu Zheng sighed inwardly.

"Emei faction?" The two Qingcheng faction said in unison, and even exchanged suspicious looks with each other.

"What happened that night, the old guide can testify." Gu Zheng pointed to the old man Eric beside him.

"What happened that night, what Gu Zheng said is absolutely true." The old man Eric touched his chest with a solemn expression as if swearing.

"Hmph, whether it's true or not, only you know in your own mind." The middle-aged woman snorted coldly.

"I really shouldn't have sent them here, and I would be bitten back." Gu Zheng shook his head, feeling a little regretful in his heart, and this good old man would definitely not do it again in the future, if he didn't feel that the two of them were not guilty of death, and being deluded would be regarded as being punished , Gu Zheng will not send them over at all.

"How can you do this? If we don't bring them here, in their current state, I'm afraid they would have died on the Gobi!" Old man Eric was very angry.

"What's the matter, after I cure the two of them, it's not too late for you to leave."

While speaking, the middle-aged man had already expressed his pulse to Xie Hao and Yang Jie.

"How long will it take you to cure them?"

Gu Zheng felt very speechless. After the middle-aged man took his pulse, his brows were almost unknotted, obviously unable to start.

"I don't know about this, but you can't leave!" The middle-aged man waved his hand, looking a little impatient.

"I'm from the Emei faction, and I'm right here. If you have any questions, you can always find me. As for Uncle Eric, you should go back first, and be careful on the way!"

Gu Zheng didn't want to say anything more to the two of them, so he was going back with the old man Eric.

"Who allowed you to leave?"

The middle-aged man shouted coldly, and dodged to block Gu Zheng's way, while the middle-aged woman swayed without a trace, echoing the middle-aged man, blocking the retreat of Gu Zheng and Eric.

"Why, we still need your approval to leave?" Gu Zheng laughed angrily. These two people with the initial cultivation of the third level are really rampant.

"Yes, you can only leave if we let you leave. If we don't let you leave, you can only stay obediently. Tell you boy, the Qingcheng faction is not easy to mess with!"

Behind Gu Zheng, the middle-aged woman sneered again and again.

"The Qingcheng faction is so powerful? It really scared me to death! I want to see, what can I do if I leave you?"

Gu Zheng was angry and walked forward.

"Lie down!"

The middle-aged man leaned forward, punching Gu Zheng's chest with a strong wind. This seemingly simple punch is actually very powerful. In addition to the fact that the attack part is the vital point of the chest, the subsequent changes are also very sharp.

But it's a pity that what was hit by the middle-aged man's punch was only an afterimage. Gu Zheng, who used the immortal technique 'Piao Miao Illusory Body Technique', escaped from the middle-aged man's attack range with a single dodge! Even though there were many changes in his punch, all of them turned into nothingness.

"Ho!"

The middle-aged woman is not mediocre either, "Even though the Piao Miao Illusion Technique 'surprised her', she still kicked Gu Zheng in the head when his figure stopped.

The figure flickered again, and the person kicked by the middle-aged woman was still an afterimage.

"Lie down!"

Gu Zheng shouted coldly. He launched an attack before the middle-aged woman kicked the ground, and kicked her left leg that supported her entire body.

"ah… "

The middle-aged woman screamed in pain, and hit the ground in a pony posture, her face was distorted from the pain.

"asshole!"

The middle-aged man scolded angrily, but his behavior was unexpected, which completely angered Gu Zheng! He actually gave up attacking Gu Zheng, but punched the old man Eric!

Eric is an ordinary person, even an old man in his sixties, how could he withstand the punch of a middle-aged man!

"Damn it!" Gu Zheng stepped forward and slapped the middle-aged man's wrist with his palm.

"Crack."

The sound of bones breaking was heard, and at the same time there was the scream of the middle-aged man. His fist that hit the old man Eric was no longer able to hang down.

To deal with the middle-aged woman, Gu Zheng only used ordinary attacks, but to deal with this hateful middle-aged man, Gu Zheng used the fairy skill "Mountain Opening Palm".

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move. The biggest reason why the two Qingcheng factions dared to shout before was because they didn't know the depth of the ancient dispute. But now, in less than half a minute, the two were injured one after another, which made them lose their ability to continue fighting. courage.

"Go away!"

The opponent stopped, but Gu Zheng still didn't calm down. He kicked the middle-aged man in the stomach and kicked him to the ground.

"If you shoot an ordinary person or an old man, are you still human?"

Facing Gu Zheng's accusation, the middle-aged man dared not say a word, but the middle-aged woman still didn't know what to do.

"If you have the guts, just wait for me. Our Qingcheng faction won't just forget about this account!"

"Yeah?"

Gu Zheng sneered, and then his voice became flat: "Your leg still hurts this time, next time you can't do it to me, I don't even know it hurts!"

Gu Zheng took the old man Eric away. As for Yang Jie and Xie Bao, they naturally stayed in the camp of the Qingcheng faction.

"These people are really hateful. Fortunately, you are not an ordinary person."

Walking out of the Qingcheng camp, the old man Eric covered his chest with his hands, his eyes full of fear.

"Old man, I won't be far away, so be careful along the way."

There are still doubts that have not been resolved, and Gu Zheng is thinking about the affairs of the other members of the Emei Sect.

"I will, but you have to be careful, especially at night." Seeing Eric's serious eyes, Gu Zheng gave him a puzzled look.

"Look there!"

There are some white things between the two stones that Eric old man pointed to.

"Wolf dung?" Gu Zheng frowned.

"Yes, this is the feces of gray wolves in Tianshan Mountains. It hasn't been too long. They haven't appeared for a long time. It is said that they like to eat wicked people and liars. Gu Zheng, you are a good person, and the gods will protect you your!"

The old man Eric prayed for Gu Zheng and left, while Gu Zheng walked towards Heilongzui.

People from the Emei faction would not leave for no reason. If they didn't leave in a hurry, they should have left some marks nearby.

Unfortunately, Gu Zheng searched around, but did not find the imaginary mark.

"It seems that we can only ask people from other sects."

Gu Zheng paid secretly and walked towards the nearest tent.

After asking a few people from the sect, Gu Zheng frowned even tighter.

The missing people are not only the Emei Sect, but also several other sects. The people who were questioned by Gu Zheng are all in the same situation as Gu Zheng. The people in it were not there at all, and the marks left by them were also not found.

However, the inquiry was not without a little gain, at least Gu Zheng knew which tent belonged to the Emei sect.

Entering the tent of the Emei Sect, Gu Zheng found the clothes left by the two elders, Gu An, Wuchou, and Wuyou. It seems that, like those who disappeared from other sects, they left in such a hurry that many things were left here.

Going around in the tent, Gu Zheng found more useful clues.

There is rice in a pot on the ground, and the rice has been completely swollen by water. Others cannot see anything too specific from it, but Gu Zheng, who is the descendant of Tiexian, can. It can be judged that Gu An and others left yesterday evening, and when they left, they should be preparing to cook, and just after the rice was cleaned and put in the pot, something unexpected happened.

At this time, it was also dusk, so even if you wanted to search for it in the distance, you could only wait until tomorrow. Moreover, Gu Zheng is just curious, but not too worried about the danger of Gu An and others.

Many people disappeared together, and none of them were ordinary people. It is really impossible for things that can really hurt them to exist on the outskirts of the Tianshan Mountains, even if it is a fox like the one I met last night, or It was the Tianshan gray wolf in the old man's mouth. After all, the group of people who disappeared came to Heilongzui first, and most of them were stronger than those who came later.

The news about the Tianshan snow lotus first came from a casual cultivator.

If it is just the thousand-year-old Tianshan snow lotus, it will not be so powerful to attract the various sects, but the real attraction is that the thousand-year-old snow lotus has already bred the legendary 'Tianshan snow lotus seed'.

Tianshan Snow Lotus Seed is a treasure of heaven and earth, and the 'Snow Lotus Pill' refined from it can give cultivators in the late stage of the fifth floor a 50% chance of breaking through their own realm and becoming a real cultivator!

'Snow Lotus Pill' is not difficult to refine, but it is impossible to break through in a lifetime, and there are not a few practitioners who are trapped in the late stage of the fifth floor! Therefore, for this trip to Tianshan Mountain, all the sects are bound to win. After all, there are many sects on the fifth level of inner strength, but the cultivators do not.

Which sect has immortal cultivators is enough for a sect to be in a vigorous development posture for a long time to come.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. At first, only one sect got the news from casual cultivators, and gradually many sects knew about it.

Moreover, the rogue cultivator who first reported the news was said to have had a very miserable end! He was chased by various sects, and they all wanted to get the specific location of the Millennium Snow Lotus from him.

Later, Sanxiu was forced to jump into the river. Before jumping into the river, he told those who chased him the exact location of the Tianshan snow lotus.

The reason why casual cultivators did this is of course for a purpose. More people know the location of Xuelian, and the competition will become more intense at that time, and he can be regarded as indirect revenge.

At that time, there were many sects chasing casual cultivators, but there were only three sects who actually heard the exact location of Xuelian by the riverside. These three sects were: Taishan School, Nangong School and Taiji School.

Those sects behind do not know the specific location of Xuelian, including the Emei sect, and these sects have also unified their approach, which is to keep an eye on the three sects who know the details, so there is, the people of the Emei sect first Arrived in one step, and waited for the origin of the ancient dispute at Heilongzui.

Now there is still nearly a month before the snow lotus seeds mature, and during this time, there will be more and more people near Heilongzui.

Before the departure of Gu Zheng, the news from Gu'an was that the Taishan sect had let go and agreed to share the information of the thousand-year-old snow lotus with the chasing sect. However, they could not announce the specific location of the thousand-year-old snow lotus yet, but other sects You can follow it all the time.

As for the other two sects, there seems to be no movement all the time, but it is not ruled out that they may be repairing the plank road secretly.

Outside the tent is smoke, and there is a faint fragrance in the air. It is time for dinner.

Despite the existence of the Great Desolate Space, Gu Zheng still carried a large bag when he came to Tianshan this time. After all, the Great Desolate Space is like a hole card that cannot be easily used. Some necessities or commonly used things are better placed outside.

There is a ready-made fire in the tent. After lighting the fire, Gu Zheng is going to cook some fairy rice porridge to drink.

In the open space outside Black Dragon's Mouth, the tents between sects are all separated by a certain distance.

At this time, outside the tent of the Taishan faction, five men in their 37s and 18s were sitting around the campfire full of anticipation.

"Gudong..."

I don't know who swallowed the saliva, which made the leader of the five people make a very disgusted sound.

"As for it? It's not that I haven't eaten it before. Is it ashamed?"

Having said that, the fat man who can be the leader has a proud expression on his face.

"Senior Brother Wu, you know how to cook, and you can eat it whenever you want! But it's really difficult for us to taste your handicraft once!"

"That's right, the last time I ate the beggar's chicken made by Senior Brother Wu was a year ago!"

"Brother, is the Beggar Chicken not ready yet? I'm still waiting for it to eat!"

The juniors were chattering, saying everything.

"Virtue!" Senior Brother Wu scolded with a smile, picked up the bulging ground with a stick, and pulled out a burnt mud ball from inside.

"Crack..."

With a crisp sound, the mud ball was cracked open by Senior Brother Wu, and a meaty smell that made people move their index fingers immediately wafted out of it.

"Gudong..."

The sound of swallowing saliva was loud.

"I only had beggar chicken before, but it seems that this is the first time I have eaten beggar chicken made from pheasant!"

"Who says it's not! Beggar and pheasant, I'm looking forward to it even thinking about it!"

"Senior Brother Wu is really a fastidious person. At first, I wondered how to make Beggar Chicken without lotus leaves? But I didn't expect that Senior Brother Wu brought lotus leaves from the mainland!"

"What is a profession? This is called a profession!"

Senior Brother Wu enjoyed the compliments of several juniors, but after hearing the description of professionalism, Senior Brother Wu immediately corrected him.

"Wrong, I'm not a cook, and I didn't deliberately learn to cook. I'm just talented in this area. But then again, if your senior brother, I would specialize in cooking, hehe..."

Senior Brother Wu stopped talking, the pride on his face was obvious.

A group of juniors began to flatter again, but senior Wu, who was peeling the lotus leaves of the beggar chicken, suddenly stopped.

"Senior Brother Wu, what's the matter with you?" Under the puzzled eyes of all the senior brothers, Senior Brother Wu quickly sniffed and stood up.

"Delicious, rare delicious! I have never smelled such an indescribable fragrance!"

Brother Wu's eyes were shining, and he rushed towards the tent of the Emei Sect as if stepping on the wind.

"Fragrant fragrance? Why didn't I smell it? I only smelled the fragrance of beggar chicken!"

"Damn it, Brother Wu ran away with the beggar chicken!"

"Trick!"

All the juniors screamed strangely, scrambling to chase after him.

The tent of the Taishan School is actually quite far from the tent of the Emei School. During the chase, the junior brothers also discovered that they actually misunderstood Senior Brother Wu. Now they have smelled a fragrance, a rice fragrance that whets the appetite. .

When all the junior brothers caught up with Senior Brother Wu, Senior Brother Wu was standing blankly outside the tent of the Emei Sect. In the tent, there was a young man sitting upright, drinking a bowl of white rice porridge with gusto.

"Gudong..." The voice of swallowing saliva sounded again.

"Did he drink porridge made from fragrant rice? Why is it so fragrant!"

"Have you ever had this porridge made from fragrant rice?"

"No!"

"Then how do you know it's fragrant rice? It's definitely not fragrant rice. I don't believe that a bowl of ordinary fragrant rice porridge can make my mouth water!"

"Okay, be quiet!"

Brother Wu woke up from the shock, he called to stop the few juniors who were whispering.

"hey-hey… "

First he made a flattering smile at Chong Guzheng, and then Senior Brother Wu spoke sincerely.

"Friends of the Emei School, do you have any more porridge? Can you let me try it too!"

"Brother, you are not kind!"

"That's right! Friends of the Emei School, do you still have this porridge?"

Some of the juniors suddenly quit. They thought that Senior Brother Wu would ask something else first, but who would have thought that he would beg for it as soon as he opened his mouth! Everyone understands the principle of attacking first, which made them secretly scold Senior Brother Wu for being despicable.

Gu Zheng didn't answer immediately, he quickly finished the rice porridge with a group of wolves and tigers in his eyes.

"Sorry, no more. I'm the only one who cooked a bowl of porridge."

Gu Zheng put down the bowl, burped comfortably, and there was a sound of gnashing of teeth on the other side.

"Friend, what kind of rice is the rice for cooking porridge? Do you have any more here?" Senior Brother Wu did not give up.

"This is a kind of rice grown by ethnic minorities. It is very hard to get. I don't have any here." Gu Zheng smiled apologetically.

"Tch..."

Disappointed sounds sounded, except for Senior Brother Wu, all four Junior Brothers were listless.

"You guys go back first! I'll discuss the deliciousness with this friend, take this chicken home and eat it while it's hot!"

Senior Brother Wu gave up the beggar chicken that was originally regarded as a treasure. After smelling the aroma of rice porridge and the smell of beggar chicken, he always felt that it was rotten.

The beggar chicken was received beautifully, and the juniors left happily, and they still didn't forget to discuss how to share the beggar chicken on the road.

"hey-hey… "

Seeing the juniors walking away, Senior Brother Wu once again rushed to Guzheng to please him with a smile.

"Is it really gone?"

"Yes, there are, but a little less."

Gu Zheng lifted the lid of the pot, and there was still a little residual soup in it. It is estimated that it will flow well and look like the bottom of a bowl.

"Can I have a taste?"

Senior Brother Wu's eyes widened, the viscous rice soup was poured into the bowl by Gu Feng, the seductive beauty was like pouring honey.

"Okay, but Ming people don't say dark words. I want to know something about the Millennium Snow Lotus that hasn't been released to the public. The more important the better!"

Gu disputed a small amount of rice porridge, shaking it slowly, just like shaking a glass of high-strength fine wine.

Brother Wu's eyes moved around with the rice soup, there was need and struggle.

"Okay!" Gu Zheng smiled, picked up the bowl, and seemed to be gulping it down.

"Shut up!" Brother Wu exclaimed.

Gu Zheng put down the bowl, Senior Brother Wu gritted his teeth, and then looked at Gu Feng playfully.

"The more urgent the better? Do you still have this kind of rice in your hand?"

Despite being lured/tempted by delicious food, Brother Wu is still analytical.

"Yes, if the information given is important enough, every time I cook rice porridge, I will give you a bowl." Gu Zheng laughed.

"Deal! Let me drink the rice porridge first, let me feel its taste and whether it is worthy of the fragrance."

Brother Wu agreed very happily, as if he was going all out.

"No, you have to tell me the information first." Gu Zheng didn't scatter the eagle if he didn't see the rabbit, and shook the rice porridge in his hand again.

"Don't shake it, it will be cold if you shake it again!"

"We are all cultivators. It is not difficult to maintain this temperature with internal force, so don't worry!"

"Okay, you're ruthless!" Senior Brother Wu gritted his teeth: "After I tell you, whether you believe it or not, you have to give me the rice porridge."

"Okay." Guzheng readily agreed, since it was just a bit of leftovers anyway.

After turning around the tent and making sure that there is no one around, Senior Brother Wu whispered, "I advise you not to get close to the thousand-year-old snow lotus, or you won't even know how you died!"

Gu Zheng's heart moved: "Why do you say that?"

"Is this information useful? If it is useful, let me drink rice soup first!"

Senior Brother Wu smiled slyly, but Gu Zheng didn't say anything more, just handed out the rice soup.

Before drinking the rice soup in one gulp, Senior Brother Wu cautiously sipped it.

"good!"

Senior Brother Wu raised his eyebrows, and then poured all the rice soup into his mouth, like tasting red wine, he didn't swallow it immediately, but closed his eyes, savoring it with an intoxicated expression.

"It's so delicious!"

Finally, he drank a sip of rice soup, and tears flowed from the corners of Senior Brother Wu's eyes.

"This is not porridge, this is the supreme delicacy in the world. I feel the fragrance that I have never had before. I feel the purity that is not in this world. I feel my unprecedented desire for a thing. I am afraid that I will drink it later. What if we don't get there?"

Senior Brother Wu, a man in his thirties, looked at Gu Zheng with tears streaming down his face.
