Chapter 494: Seventy-two Immortal Cultivators
Gu Zheng was deliberately tempted, and sure enough, the secret of this ancient castle was related to the magic array, or rather, to Solomon.
When Gu Zheng was studying, his historical grades were average, and he was not good, and his understanding of Solomon was still that little bit in foreign history, and he only knew that he was an outstanding earth, as for the seventy-two demon gods, he heard Du Yang mention it by chance, and the reason why Du Yang mentioned it was because he read a good one.
It is precisely because Gu Zheng does not understand this aspect that he is suspicious of the words on the stone wall.
The reason why I half-believe it is because of the strangeness here and the words of the machine spirit, if it weren't for that, Gu Zheng wouldn't believe everything said on the stone wall at all.
"Boss, I advise you, don't inquire about things you shouldn't ask, don't inquire about things you shouldn't know, don't know, otherwise be careful that trouble is coming, there are some things that you can't touch!"
The butler said slowly in a hoarse voice, this time not a hint, but a naked warning, warning Gu Zheng not to inquire about anything again, or not to continue to do anything.
"Boss, I'm doing this for your good, you Huaxia have such a saying, loyal to the ear!"
The butler saw that Gu Zheng was unmoved, and said again, he still said the four words 'loyal words against the ear' in Chinese, but he didn't expect that this butler's Chinese was not bad, and he said it very well.
"I know, but if I don't try, how do I know if I can't touch it?"
Gu Zheng turned his head, smiled slightly, ignored the housekeeper, and walked out directly. The angry butler waved his hand and left.
Gu Zheng didn't leave the castle, but went to the kitchen, made some breakfast and went directly to the study, the castle's study stored a lot of books, since this place is related to Solomon, he wants to go to the study to try his luck, to see if he can find anything useful, or rather, whether there is any information related to Solomon.
Whether it's folklore or secrets, it's okay for Gu Zheng, but his understanding of Solomon is too little and too pitiful.
The study room of the castle is really not small, at least more than 100 square meters, which is comparable to the average small library, the most important thing is that the study room is very high, the bookshelves are also very high, and many books need ladders to get them.
Many of the books here are still ancient books, and there is an administrator who is also responsible for the maintenance of the day.
Gu Zheng is now the owner of the ancient castle, and the administrator has also seen Gu Zheng, and when he saw Gu Zheng coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, he is just an ordinary person, not a cultivator like the housekeeper, and he still respects Gu Zheng very much.
"Are there any books about Solomon?"
After Gu Zheng glanced at it, he asked casually, there are too many books here, and he is very tired of looking for it by himself, so it is better to ask directly.
The administrator was obviously stunned, and then nodded violently, "Yes, yes, boss, what do you want to see, I'll find it for you right away!"
"Anything related to Solomon, bring it to me!"
Gu Zheng sat at the table and whispered, with surprise in the administrator's eyes, but he still did as Gu Zheng said, and quickly took the books related to Solomon.
One, two, five, ten.
Fifty books, one hundred, there were more and more books in front of Gu Zheng, but the administrator did not stop, and finally brought more than 200 books of all kinds.
These books range from thick ancient books to modern bindings, and everything in between.
"So much?"
Gu Zheng looked at the table of books in front of him, and asked in surprise, he didn't expect that there were so many books related to Solomon here, and there were a lot of books in this study, in fact, there were only about 10,000 books, more than 200 books, which was 2% of all the books.
Solomon was just a European emperor, and he was a European emperor before the Western era, but there are so many books about him here, which is very abnormal.
What the ancients wanted was not the kind of book that only mentions Solomon, which is useless, all he wants is a story about Solomon, or a book that introduces Solomon.
"Yes, boss, there are indeed more books related to Solomon the Great here!"
The administrator was very real, nodding his head there, Gu Zheng was a little speechless, but he still picked up a book and read it, this is an ancient book, which introduces Solomon's previous stories.
Gu Ben is very thick, it took a long time for Gu Zheng to read it, and this introduction to Solomon is very detailed, including how he ascended to the throne, who supported him, who competed with him for the throne, and his ambitions after becoming emperor.
However, there is no story of the seventy-two demon gods in it, this is purely a history, or a wild history record.
After reading this book, Gu Zheng turned over the others, this time as long as there was something he had read before, he skipped it, focusing on the stories related to the seventy-two demon gods, and he really found a lot.
watched it all day, and it wasn't until evening that Gu Zheng left.
Soon after he left, the housekeeper walked in, and the administrator was also very respectful to the housekeeper, and he didn't dare to hide anything, and told him what books Gu Zheng had read today, and the more the administrator said, the more gloomy the housekeeper's face became, and finally they were all about to fall into the water.
Gu Zheng didn't care what the housekeeper thought, and after he went back, he immediately sorted out the things he was looking at today.
Solomon and the seventy-two demon gods are a mythological story, and today he has read a lot of related content, which is roughly the same, saying that Solomon needed the help of the demon god when he was fighting for hegemony, so he signed a contract with the demon god and asked the demon gods to help him at the cost of his soul.
In the end, there were seventy-two very powerful demon gods who came to Solomon's aid.
The records of these seventy-two demon gods are very detailed, not only the appearance of each demon god, but also their names, good at it, etc., seeing the introduction of the demon gods, Gu Zheng immediately thought of the foreign races mentioned by the machine spirit.
These demon gods, there are no humans, and even if they do, they are only occasionally humans, most of them are all kinds of demons and monsters, or strange demons and monsters, such as Agareth in the demon gods, who has three heads, or three different heads, or Samikina, who usually looks like a horse, and occasionally turns into a human.
"Machine spirits, are these demon gods foreigners?" Gu Zheng asked in his heart.
"It's kind of like it, but can't be sure!"
The machine spirit didn't give a positive answer, after all, it hadn't seen the demon god, and it really didn't know which race the demon god belonged to, after all, the foreign race was not only a kind of witch race, such as the Shura tribe, but also belonged to the foreign race, which was originally in the wilderness, but was later driven away, and now lives in hell.
"Trouble, I don't know what the strength of these foreigners is, but if they were there two or three thousand years ago, their current strength is not bad!"
Gu Zheng sighed slightly, the history of Emperor Solomon was three thousand years ago, according to the description, each of these demon gods was at the lowest level of immortal cultivators, and after so many years, who knows if the strength has increased.
Even if their cultivation did not increase, the seventy-two immortal cultivators, that is, the immortal cultivators of the Qi Transformation Realm combined, could not be underestimated, and they were also terrifying.
I can't be sure what the origin of these demon gods is, Gu Zheng didn't plan to investigate now, besides, there are two major European forces around, once there is a big movement, it will be good for him not to see it.
If he can't fight, he can run, he can go back to Huaxia at any time, but his father will be exposed, after all, his father is still in Europe, although it is said that the world of cultivators will not anger mortals, but Gu Zheng can't take this risk.
"In this way, what the Dark Association cared about at the beginning should be the magic array, or rather, the aliens in the magic array!"
Gu Zheng said his analysis in his heart, this was the headquarters of the dark forces at the beginning, and the reason why he set up his headquarters here is not known if it is related to the magic array, but Gu Zheng is sure that after the defeat of the Dark Association and the light forces, he did not give up here.
Most likely, they didn't understand the use of the magic array at all, and they didn't know how to bring those outsiders out, so this magic array has always existed, and the foreigners have never appeared here.
Otherwise, there will definitely be a follow-up to the story of the seventy-two demon gods.
In this way, the biggest possibility is that after the Dark Association was defeated and retreated, it was unwilling to give up this place to the Light Forces, and put forward a request to protect this place, and the Light Forces should also know about the existence of the magic array, and it may even have been studied, but there was no result.
And the two sides don't trust each other, so there is a matter of exile of the ancient castle to the mortal forces, and the two major forces send people to guard it.
This is just Gu Zheng's speculation, whether this is the case or not, he doesn't know, but it's a pity that that the demon cultivator has been killed by Ouyang Hai, otherwise he can ask something from his mouth, his original goal was this castle, wanting to win the castle from Sir Brown.
He didn't snatch it directly, but used the rules of mortals to win, and he must have known that there were two major forces staring at it, and he rashly snatched it without good fruit to eat.
Anyway, Gu Zheng has already understood the secret here, as long as he understands the secret, the purpose of his desire for the castle is to satisfy his curiosity, as for those foreigners, just ignore it for the time being.
The next day, the housekeeper came again, and also warned Gu Zheng not to continue, otherwise he would inevitably get into trouble, Gu Zheng didn't pay attention to him at all, and let Hao Sen take him to London.
Now that he has come to Europe and England, Gu Zheng really plans to play here, that is, to put down everything and play, and play like a mortal.
In the final analysis, Gu Zheng's cultivation has only been a few years, his cultivation is high, but his consciousness has not changed, there are still a lot of mortal thoughts in his thoughts, traveling around the world has been the dream of many people, including Gu Zheng, this time there is a chance, by the way, to realize his little dream.
London is the capital of the United Kingdom, it is indeed very large, and there is no special purpose for the ancient dispute, but where it is lively and fun, it will go.
Experience the exotic atmosphere, but also have a unique taste.
Gu Zheng didn't return to the castle that night, Gu Zheng didn't go back, the housekeeper seemed to be relieved, thinking that his warning had worked, and that night the housekeeper went to the basement magic array again, looked at the stone wall and was silent for a long time, and finally touched the magic array before leaving.
"The ingredients are good, but the chef's cooking skills are average!"
In a three-Michelin restaurant, after tasting the food here, Gu Zheng gave an evaluation, the three-star Michelin restaurant is very strict in the selection of ingredients, which is really good, but unfortunately, the level of the chef affects the play of the ingredients.
Gu Zheng can conclude that the person who cooks for him is definitely not the chef, if the chef is of this level, then the chef is definitely an impostor, and this chef is too far worse than his father.
But Gu Zheng didn't care, and not all the dishes in the restaurant are made by the chef, the chef usually only does an important part, and there are also assistant chefs and other chefs to do it, and even the chef has to have a day off, maybe the chef is resting today, so Gu Zheng didn't eat the best food.
Coming out of the Michelin-starred restaurant, Gu Zheng went to the street again and began to buy all kinds of snacks.
For a day, he was almost eating, and he didn't stop, which made Hao Sen's eyes widen, what Gu Zheng ate today was obviously beyond the amount of food that a normal person ate, but he didn't expect Gu Zheng to be able to eat.
How would he know that the reason why Gu Zheng ate so much was because he wanted to write a few European articles and submit them to Mu Mu by the way, after all, food commentators were his main job, although he was very incompetent now.
Gu Zheng also did not go back that night, and continued to stay in the hotel, which made the housekeeper of the castle feel a little more relaxed.
"Have you determined where the three are?"
"It has been determined that although these three people are hiding very deeply, they have still been found by our people, but the strength of the three is very average, and they have not reached the angel level, it is impossible for them to kill the Gibb brothers!"
Late at night, Gu Zheng was cultivating with his eyes closed, when he suddenly opened his eyes.
He only lived in an ordinary suite, and this trip was at his own expense, although Gu Zheng could afford the money for the presidential suite, but it was completely unnecessary for him, and he could live in an ordinary suite.
What Gu Zheng heard was a voice from another room, to be exact, from the presidential suite, although the two of them spoke in a low voice, as long as Gu Zheng was willing, they could hear Gu Zheng.
The presidential suite is inhabited by a cultivator of the dark forces, whose strength has reached the realm of an immortal cultivator, which is what Europe calls the master level.
When Gu Zheng stayed in the hotel yesterday, he had already discovered his existence, but he didn't have any relationship or conflict with Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng didn't bother to care about him, so he didn't care.
"Their strength is not enough to kill the Gibb brothers, but they definitely know how the Gib brothers died, catch them and ask them clearly!"
The dark force cultivator with the strength of an immortal cultivator said slowly, and the person opposite him nodded gently.
Gu Zheng didn't know that the Jibu brothers in their mouths were the pair of werewolves that Ouyang Hai and Du Wei had killed before, and after the werewolves died, they left directly, and the bodies of the two werewolves were taken away by three young Light Force cultivators.
The two corpses allowed them to receive a large amount of bounty, which was not ordinary money, but a resource used by the European cultivation community.
With these resources, the three of them immediately hidden, many people looked for them and never found them, until now, they were discovered by the people of the dark forces, and it was not easy for them to hide for so long.
