Chapter 451: Tell Me the Truth
Gu Zheng and the others walked away, and the fear in Leng Feng's eyes was gone, replaced by contempt and ridicule.
Patting the dust on his body, Leng Feng went straight to the top of the mountain as if nothing had happened, and after eating a bowl of cold shrimp made by Lao Zhou, he walked towards the sect leisurely.
After the Black Conch Sect separated from the Red Conch Sect, although it lived in seclusion in the remote mountains and forests of Blood Tide Island, as a sect, it still had the buildings that a sect should have.
Leng Feng was the Great Elder of the Black Sky Conch Sect and had his own separate courtyard, but when he stepped into his courtyard, he found that the head of the house, Rong Qiu, was standing in his courtyard with his hands in his hands.
"Great Elder, what are you doing today? Didn't I explain that I didn't want to target Gu Zheng?"
Rong Qiu went straight to the point, a face that was originally expressionless, and even more cold because of the seriousness of his tone, there was no respect that the head of the family should have when he saw the elders.
The interrogation of Murong Xusheng in the main hall has ended, and what happened in the main hall and even outside the main hall, Rong Qiu also knows everything.
"Don't do it! It's just that he is very unhappy, and he looks at the other branches very badly, and he can't recognize him for a while. Leng Feng said lightly.
"Do you know that your upset is likely to startle the snake?" Rong Qiu said angrily.
"Okay, got it, are you bothered?"
An angry look appeared on Leng Feng's face, and he looked directly into Rong Qiu's eyes, and the two looked at each other for a while.
"Hey!"
Rong Qiu sighed: "I know that the Great Elder has an opinion on my cooperation with the Holy Blood Gate, but the cooperation with the Holy Blood Gate is also for the long-term development of our Black Sky Snail Sect." Now that you have agreed to our cooperation with the Holy Blood Gate, then you should do things according to the rules!"
Rong Qiu's voice paused, and then he said: "Don't say that you are not happy with Gu Zheng, I am also very unhappy with him, but the person who cleaned him up is not you and me, you and I just need to wait quietly, don't provoke him again!"
"Got it, if there's nothing else to do, you can leave, I want to rest for a while!"
Leng Feng chased away guests, and Rong Qiu didn't want to tell him more, and soon Leng Feng was the only one left in the courtyard.
"For the long-term development of the Black Sky Conch Sect? Hehe, do you have to worry about this?"
Looking at the direction in which Rong Qiu had disappeared, contempt and ridicule appeared on Leng Feng's face again.
After returning to his residence from the Tianxin Sect Hall, Gu Zheng didn't go anymore and concentrated on cultivating.
Shangguan Feng's injuries will take two days to treat, and these two days also include today, so Gu Zheng knew that after the interrogation in the main hall was over, Shangguan Feng would definitely come over.
In the evening, Shangguan Feng came over, but there was also Mu Zhangmen who came over.
For what happened in the main hall, Mu Chunfeng apologized again.
"Master Mu, the past is over, you don't have to apologize for that little thing. ”
Gu Zheng smiled slightly: "What happened to Shangguan Xusheng?"
"After asking what should be asked, he has been executed, even if he is the elite of the sect, such a person will not be able to stay!"
Mu Chunfeng's eyes were full of disappointment, and Shangguan Feng on the side also let out a long sigh.
"Even his own uncle is harmed, and such a person really can't be left, but since then, the quota for entering the 'Tianluo Cave' has also changed. Gu Zheng said.
"For the so-called treasures in the 'Tianluo Cave', in fact, I don't have much hope in my heart, every time the 'Tianluo Cave' is opened, it has almost become a tradition similar to the Chinese New Year. However, the elders in the gate still attach great importance to the 'Tianluo Cave', which is why we do not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to ask for foreign aid. Without Shangguan Xusheng, a suitable candidate, the sect can only retreat to the second best place and replace it with a disciple who is not as good as him. ”
Mu Chunfeng sighed, and then said, "Master Gu, are you interested in knowing about Shangguan Xusheng's interrogation?"
"It stands to reason that what comes out of the interrogation belongs to the secrets of your Tianluo Sect branches, and I shouldn't be curious. However, I'm really curious about the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone!" Gu Zheng laughed.
Mu Chunfeng nodded, and then told Gu Zheng the information obtained from the interrogation.
In the branch of the Tianluo Sect, there is not only one sect that cultivates evil arts, although they do not have the ability to cultivate immortal 'introduction', they can also make a person tell the truth through evil arts.
Gu Zheng, an outsider, was very curious about the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone, not to mention Shangguan Xusheng, a disciple of the Red Sky Snail Sect, and his curiosity about the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone also created everything after that.
One day five years ago, Shangguan Xusheng secretly went to the beach in the restricted area and found a small blood-red fish in the shallow water.
Shangguan Xusheng, who was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, ignored the admonition in the door, and when he teased the small fish with a small branch, the small fish jumped up and touched his arm, and soon lost consciousness.
Although Shangguan Xusheng woke up very scared, he didn't feel any discomfort, so he hid this matter that would be scolded and studied.
In the next five years, Shangguan Xusheng was like a bloodline awakening, and he didn't know why he would have some evil arts, and even with a peculiar sense of the blood tide forbidden area, he always felt that something under the immortal array was calling him and attracting him.
After listening to Mu Chunfeng's story, Gu Zheng said in his heart: "Machine Spirit, what do you think?"
"Shangguan Xusheng is a demonized person! This kind of probability, although very low, is not impossible. Just like those strange fish in the sea, if you use your medical point of view, they should be infected with some kind of virus, but there are also antibodies in medicine! You can also think of Shangguan Xusheng as a person infected with a deadly virus, but for various reasons, the virus did not kill him, but coexisted with him. The machine spirit said.
"There are also ancestral teachings in the door, and you are not allowed to get close to the blood tide forbidden area, after Shangguan Xusheng's incident, I am even more repulsed by the blood tide forbidden area, and I always feel that there is something sealed below that cannot be born!"
Mu Chunfeng shook his head and smiled, and turned to look at Gu Zheng: "Gu Master, the decision to explore the forbidden area of the blood tide, with all due respect, you must consider it carefully!"
"Don't worry, Master Mu, I won't joke with my life. Gu Zheng said seriously.
"If the Gu Sect finally decides to explore the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone, then after the Gu Sect has investigated, I will organize a meeting between the branch sects, advocating that the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone be turned into a real forbidden area, not only outsiders will not be allowed to contact, but even the branch sects will follow the ancestral teachings! Mu Chunfeng said.
"Master Mu will think like this, from the bottom of my heart, I support it, but will the other sects think the same way?, what do they think about the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone after the incident of Shangguan Xusheng?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"They all seem to be very silent about their views on the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone, but according to what I know about them, at least half of the branch sects are more interested in the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone! There are even many people who also want to become an existence like Shangguan Xusheng! As for the remaining half, it is through this incident that the fear of the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone is deeper. If I'm going to organize a meeting like that, I don't think there's much hope of getting what I want, but I'm prepared to give it a try when the time is right. Mu Chunfeng smiled bitterly.
chatted with Mu Chunfeng for a while, Mu Chunfeng got up to say goodbye, and Gu Zheng then treated Shangguan Feng's injuries.
Feeling that his body was different from before, Shangguan Feng was really grateful to Gu Zheng, and he couldn't stand the enthusiastic Gu Zheng and drove him out.
Not long after Shangguan Feng left, there was a knock on the door outside, and the person who came turned out to be the great elder of the Huang Tianluo faction.
Seeing Gu Zheng and Meow Meow, you seem very restrained when you travel the mountains and rivers.
"You don't have too many mouths, do you?" Meow Meow said coldly as she looked at You Shanhe.
You Shanhe hurriedly spoke: "No, Miss Meow and Gu Zhangmen, don't worry, I didn't say anything about what happened in the illusion that day." ”
Gu Zheng touched Meow Meow's hair, and then smiled and said to You Shanhe: "Elder You doesn't have to be too nervous, just don't say what you shouldn't say, we are not man-eating tigers." ”
"Yes, yes, oh, no!"
Elder You smiled, although Gu Zheng's smile made him feel a little at ease, he was still very nervous. After all, when Meow Meow taught Leng Feng in the Red Sky Snail Sect today, it was not far from the main hall, and all the people in the hall saw it! Verbal conflict is one thing, dare to teach Leng Feng a lesson in the courtyard, this is another thing.
Gu Zheng couldn't help laughing, but he didn't correct You Shanhe again, he opened his mouth and asked, "Elder You came here this time, is he going to send me those resources that he owes?"
"Master Gu, I'm really sorry! Those resources that I owe you are really difficult to make up on Blood Tide Island, and you know that our sects are not harmonious at all. ”
You Shanhe was stunned, and looked at Gu Zheng cautiously: "I came here this time, the key is to ask Gu Zhangmen one thing, our Huang Tianluo Sect wants to sell all the places to enter the 'Tianluo Cave' and the Tianluo Starfish to the Black Tianluo Sect, I don't know what Gu Zhangmen thinks?"
Gu Zheng was slightly stunned, although he knew that You Shanhe was afraid of them, he didn't expect that he would be so scared that he would even ask his opinion on a transaction. However, after thinking about it, he understood, after all, Leng Feng of the Black Sky Conch Sect had just been taught a lesson for provocation, and it was estimated that You Shanhe was also afraid that at such a time, he would sell the quota for entering the 'Tianluo Cave' and the Tianluo Starfish to the Black Sky Conch Sect, which would make him unhappy.
"Elder You, can these two things be bought and sold?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Yes, Tianluo Starfish has always had people from other sects want, as for the quota for entering the 'Tianluo Cave', this can be bought and sold a long time ago, but few people will sell it. Whether I can find the treasure from the 'Tianluo Cave', I actually don't have too much hope, and this time Xie Ying died in the Heart Demon Realm, and our Huang Tianluo Sect has no suitable candidates to go to the 'Tianluo Cave', it just so happens that Rong Qiu, the head of the Black Tianluo Sect, wants to buy the Tianluo Starfish and enter the 'Tianluo Cave', and I want to pay back the resources owed to the Gu Master as soon as possible, so I came over to ask the Gu Master what he meant. "Touring the mountains and rivers.
"It seems that among the several branch sects, it should be the price of the Black Sky Conch Sect that is relatively high. Gu Zheng smiled.
"Yes, if the Gu Sect doesn't want me to sell it to them, then I'll sell it to other sects at a lower price. "Touring the mountains and rivers.
"It's okay, since they bid high, you can sell it to them!"
Gu Zheng let go, You Shanhe was obviously relieved, and he didn't stay long, so he immediately left.
After You Shanhe left, Gu Zheng stood in front of the window and looked at the dark night, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Sir, it's been a restless night!" Meowth smiled.
"Yes, first there was Mu Zhangmen and Shangguan Feng, and then there was the person who traveled the mountains and rivers and hid in the shadows. Gu Zheng smiled.
Before you enter the house, Gu Zheng has already placed a ban on snooping in the house, which was originally just a preventive measure, but who would have thought that someone really visited the house, and it was still a visit by Shen Nian!
"Sir, who do you think this man would be?" Meowth asked.
"It's hard to say right now, but just be careful. Gu Zheng said lightly.
During the day the next day, nothing happened, and Gu Zheng spent the whole day cultivating in the small courtyard.
Tonight will be the last time to heal Shangguan Feng, and tomorrow will be the time to compete for the place of the 'Tianluo Cave', as long as the dust of the quota is settled, Gu Zheng will be able to get the reward promised by Mu Chunfeng before. As for whether or not to explore the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone, he will also tell Mu Chunfeng about this decision at that time.
The time when Shangguan Feng came over was still the same as last night, and he had just left, and Mu Chunfeng actually came again.
"Is there something wrong with Master Mu?"
Gu Zheng looked at Mu Chunfeng, who had been frowning since he entered the door.
"yes, something!"
Mu Chunfeng nodded, and then sighed: "Gu Master, have you found anything here?" The person I arranged in the Black Sky Conch Sect told me today that I don't know when an immortal cultivator came to the Black Sky Snail Sect!"
"A divine mind visited me last night. "Gu Zhengdao.
Mu Chunfeng's brows furrowed again: "Approaching the opening of the 'Tianluo Cave', the Blood Tide Island is becoming more and more unpeaceful, listening to the reports of the disciples below, among the people who have come to the Blood Tide Island in the past few days, they feel that there are many suspicious people! But these people, almost all of them are led by people from other Tianluo Sects, and they are not easy to go over to investigate." Among them, there was even a person who entered the Blood Tide Island through the immortal array alone, and the disciple who was responsible for answering at the exit of the formation just saw a black shadow floating by, and he didn't even see what he looked like!"
Gu Zheng thought for a while and asked, "Master Mu, during the opening of the 'Tianluo Cave' in previous years, did anyone who made you feel suspicious appeared?"
"Yes, but not as many as this year. Mu Chunfeng said.
"How many suspicious people have been brought in by the Black Sky Conch Sect?" asked Gu Zheng again.
"There are two entrances and exits of the immortal array outside the Blood Tide Island, one is guarded by our Red Sky Conch Sect, and one is guarded by the Black Sky Conch Sect, although people from other branches are all on the island through this entrance of the Red Sky Conch Sect, but at the entrance of the Black Sky Conch Sect, how many people have gone to the island, this is something we have no way of knowing. Mu Chunfeng smiled bitterly.
"Among these people, there may be people from the Black Sky Conch Sect who came to deal with me, but there must be some who are not, after all, there have been such suspicious characters in previous years. ”
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he asked again: "In the eyes of Master Mu, what is the purpose of their coming to Blood Tide Island instead of those who are dealing with me?"
"Hey!"
Mu Chunfeng sighed heavily: "Master Gu, let me tell you something about the 'Tianluo Cave'!"
For the Tianluo Cave, Gu Zheng didn't know much, in his imagination, the Tianluo Cave should have some kind of prohibition, according to the rules to open once every ten years, and then by the various branches of the Tianluo Sect, select people of the right age to enter it, and the reason why the age is limited should be that the ban is at work. As for the question of how long it will take to enter the Tianluo Cave and come out, Mu Chunfeng didn't say it before, and Gu Zheng didn't ask much.
Mu Chunfeng's next narration made Gu Zheng understand that there is no prohibition in Tianluo Cave at all, if you are not afraid of death, you can enter at any time! But if you don't enter in the so-called 'open' time of Tianluo Cave, then the person who enters will definitely die and be lifeless, about this, many branches of Tianluo Sect have tried countless times.
As for the restriction of age under thirty, this is only a rule in the ancestral teachings, and it is not like the original Gu Zheng envisioned that once the age exceeds thirty, it will be excluded by the prohibition and cannot enter. As for those who entered the Tianluo Cave, they were able to stay in it for seven days, and if they did not come out after seven days, they would also be certain to die.
After listening to Mu Chunfeng's narration, although Gu Zheng was very surprised, he didn't speak, just looked at Mu Chunfeng quietly, waiting for him to speak again. Gu Zheng understands that Mu Chunfeng will never say this for no reason!
"Master Gu, do you want to enter the Tianluo Cave for an adventure?"
Sure enough, the main topic came, and Mu Chunfeng looked at Gu Zheng seriously.
"Let's not talk about whether I want to or not, what I'm curious about is that I, an outsider, can enter the Tianluo Cave?" Gu Zheng frowned.
"As long as you have certain conditions, you can also enter the Tianluo Cave when it is not open at the time when the Tianluo Cave is opened. Mu Chunfeng said.
"If you don't enter the Tianluo Cave at the opening time, then you will be dead and lifeless!
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he asked again: "Master Mu, what is there in the Tianluo Cave, what can make people die?"
"Tianluo Cave is a huge underground labyrinth, as for what can make people die without life, this is not known until noon today. ”
"As the head of the sect, there are too many things to deal with, especially during the period when I am about to worship my ancestors, it is rare to have dinner with my family at noon today, and I talked about some things about the ancient master, and my grandfather, who has not asked about the world for a long time, is the previous head of our Red Conch Sect, told me some things. ”
"My grandfather told me that the Tianluo Cave that is not in the open time is actually similar to the Forbidden Zone of the Blood Tide, except that one is that there is an evil unknown energy in the seawater, and the other is that there is an evil unknown energy in the air, and it is precisely because of the existence of this unknown energy that both places can kill people!"
"Moreover, my grandfather also told me that if I want to be unaffected by this evil energy, I must either cultivate to a certain level, or I need to have some holy relics to ward off evil spirits, such as the extremely rare dragon blood crystal!" Mu Chunfeng said.
Gu Zheng smiled: "It seems that I treated Shangguan Feng, and Master Mu can see that the thing I use is the dragon blood crystal?"
"Yes. Mu Chunfeng also smiled.
"Since the dragon blood spar can resist the unknown energy in the Blood Tide Forbidden Land and the Tianluo Cave, then the dragon blood spar should be very attractive to you, why would Master Mu tell me the truth?" Gu Zheng asked.
