"I want to take my sister with me." Gu Zheng had a lot of questions in his heart, but he couldn't let Shuang 'er stay here alone.
"Okay, no problem." Captain Qian only hesitated for a moment before readily agreeing. Although he only needed to follow one person, it was normal for his family to follow as well.
Gu Zheng nodded and calmly followed behind Captain Qian with Shuang 'er. At this time, the young man from before had disappeared. Gu Zheng asked curiously.
"Captain Qian, who was the person next to you just now? He looked very powerful."
"That person is the hope of our village now. He is also the grandson of the existence. He is also the first person in history to cultivate internal force. Now, he is the captain of our village's guards and the commander of all of us." Captain Qian said enthusiastically.
From his tone, Gu Zheng could hear a strong admiration. But thinking about it, with so many halos, especially the other party's absolute strength, even if he didn't go out and didn't have any achievements, he would still make people feel very safe.
But even so, Gu Zheng didn't think that the other party could kill the Qilin Beast. Not to mention how much combat experience he had, there was no weapon that could penetrate the scales of the Qilin Beast, and there was nothing that could block its red light. Even now, it couldn't block the other party's attack.
On the way back, Gu Zheng also felt very lucky because this was a woman who was in her pregnancy period. At this time, she had been stimulated by the theft of her child and lost her mind.
Otherwise, the other party would usually pay close attention to its eyes. How could it be so easily killed by Gu Zheng? Of course, it was also secretly helped by Shuang 'er. After all, this was one of the few weaknesses of the other party.
When Gu Zheng and Shuang 'er walked into a spacious hall, there were already a few people sitting there. An old man sitting in the middle said kindly.
"Please take a seat. Since the two of you were brought here by fate, it is also our fate. We are all of the human race, and we will help each other if there is anything. However, the two of you should first introduce yourselves, and then I will answer any questions you have."
Gu Zheng nodded and sat down with Shuang 'er. Then, he looked around.
On both sides, he immediately saw the young man from before. With his strength, it was not strange for him to sit here. At this time, his eyes were really looking at Shuang 'er. His eyes were much more restrained. At least, there was no longer the feeling of wanting to eat her up. However, Gu Zheng could still see a strange light flashing in his eyes.
In another direction, there was also a white-haired old man. However, there was still a trace of black hair on his temples, so he wasn't completely white. At this moment, he was looking at him curiously.
"We siblings don't have much to say. When we were fighting for treasures above, a black fog surged out. We didn't even have time to run before we were sucked into this place. As for our identities, we'll just be Rogue Cultivators for the time being. After all, we're basically useless here," Gu Zheng said casually after introducing their names with a carefree smile.
Seeing Gu Zheng's vague reply, the old man also smiled.
"That's true. This old man is rude. I am the village chief here. Beside me is one of our elders, Elder Tang. This is my grandson, Chang Xi. In the future, you young people should interact more." When Village Chief Chang mentioned his grandson, his tone was full of pride.
"Before you came, there were already many people here. They should be the people who came with you. The other elders are making arrangements for them. When there is a chance, I will introduce them to you."
"Xi 'er, get to know him. This young master killed a Qilin Beast alone. It can be said that it has been a long time since such a person came out of danger."
Village Chief Chang said to his grandson.
"Hello, Young Master Gu. Please take care of me in the future." After hearing this, Chang Xi immediately stood up and said with a smile. If Gu Zheng hadn't seen his face before, he would have been deceived by his smile.
"No problem. If there is anything I don't understand in the future, please advise me." Gu Zheng also stood up and said to Chang Xi with a smile.
Looking at the harmonious atmosphere between the two of them, Village Chief Chang laughed and continued, "The two of you can stay in our village in the future. We dare say that our conditions are the best among all the villages. With your addition, it will be even better. Flameproof will also welcome more newcomers."
"Village Chief, if there is anything you need, just let me know in the future. I will be at your service." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Then I will bring this villager to thank you first. You should know that in this dark place, whether it is the spiritual power of immortal cultivators, Immortal Qi or other things, including the ordinary inner strength of the mortal world, they are all useless here. We can only use some basic martial arts and the Power of Darkness." Village Chief Yao Yao said to Gu Zheng with cupped fists.
"The Power of Darkness?" Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly asked.
"Yes, this is a unique power here. It is different from the spiritual power of the outside world. Although you cannot use it to release magic, you cultivators can use it to set up some arrays. When you came, you should have seen the things on the walls and the green shield in the sky, right?" Village Chief Chang explained.
"Yes, could that be the Power of Darkness?" Gu Zheng asked with a doubtful look in his eyes.
"Not really. There is a lot of Power of Darkness below the middle of the village. All of it is condensed by absorbing the blue lightning above. It was set up by a mister a long time ago in order to create a real gathering place for everyone. However, even he couldn't use the Power of Darkness. Everyone can only use the impure Power of Darkness, those green things." Village Chief Chang stroked the long beard on his chin and slowly said.
"Oh." Gu Zheng thoughtfully thought about the blue lightning in the sky. Could that be the real Power of Darkness? When Gu Zheng heard this name, his heart trembled. It seemed to be a little related to the Evil Qi in his body.
Just like when you were in the human world, you only had the cultivation of the Fifth Stage, but if the Internal Strength in your body suddenly turned into Immortal Qi, then the lethality and all kinds of power, although it was impossible to exert the same power as when you were in the sky due to the difference in realm, it was still much stronger than the attacks of the Fifth Stage.
If it was him, it could be said that the spiritual power he used had become the Immortal Qi of the Great Heavenly Realm. It was just that his strength was not enough to exert the greatest power. When he was promoted to the Great Heavenly Realm, he could completely master it.
But at that time, it would be easier to deal with the enemies of the Jin Xian level. Similarly, when dealing with enemies of the same level, even if they were strange, they would only be stronger by a little. It was impossible to deal with such an invincible existence.
"Young Master Gu, do you have any other questions?" Village Chief Chang asked politely.
Gu Zheng pretended to ask some other trivial questions. At this time, he was a little absent-minded. His whole mind was filled with the Power of Darkness. He had a feeling that this thing could replenish the Evil Qi in his body.
The Evil Qi was stored in the Demonic Grass. The Demonic Grass did not know that it had become someone else's home. At this time, it seemed to be in a deep sleep. There was no reaction at all, just like the seal.
In the end, when Gu Zheng had a basic understanding of the situation, the elder ordered his grandson to send Gu Zheng back. There were many houses here. Although it was simple and rough, it was enough to allocate a house to each person. It was more than enough.
On the way back, the blue lightning was still raining down, but they could not hear anything inside.
According to the village chief, they did not know how big this place was. If they continued to walk outside, there was nothing but stones in the sky. Their ancestors had once organized an expedition team, but after two months, they still could not find anything. They spent the same amount of time coming back, wasting a lot of resources.
He knew that there were a total of six villages here. Four of them were human villages, all in the south. Two of the Goblin villages were in the back.
Every time they were forced to come in, they would automatically be divided into different directions. There would never be any demons on the human side, and it was the same on the other side. They would never fall into the hands of the humans.
In the middle was their hunting ground, in which they also planted a kind of fern as their daily food.
This was their staple food. Although the taste was very bad, it was enough to fill their stomachs. However, they could not care about this, so they always went to the middle to hunt.
The land in the middle was very big, but there were a few roads running through it, dividing it into several pieces. The place where Gu Zheng and the others landed was close to the edge.
The lightning did not cause any harm to the monsters here, but the humans and demons could not withstand it no matter how many generations it took. As long as they were hit, they would be vaporized instantly. A long, long time ago, they lived underground. Even now, there was a village that was underground. An Family.
As for the left and right sides, there were many mountains and rich resources. However, it was the world of Lunar Beasts. Although they were few in number, they were almost dead when they encountered humans.
On the other hand, demons could rely on their flexible bodies and strong bodies to hunt there. There were relatively more small creatures there, and they were relatively weaker.
However, if they were not careful, they would be killed by Lunar Beasts. The risk was actually similar to theirs.
In the middle of them, there was a whirlpool, the only exit that connected to the Untainted Land. Of course, it was very dangerous, and the geographical environment was very bad. Anyway, most people who were determined to go out did not come back.
Except for word of mouth, there was one person who went out. However, that person was not from this village, so they did not know the details. These were all things in the past. For them, this could be said to be their home.
They were born here and died here. For generations, they intermarried with other villages. Sometimes, they would help each other to survive in this world.
They also understood Gu Zheng's thoughts. If they stayed here for a few decades, they would probably despair. To be honest, this was the first time they had seen a human outside. However, the village chief had sent people to understand the situation outside. When they came back, they could ask the other elders.
Along the way, Chang Xi kept trying to get close to Shuang 'er, but Shuang' er ignored him. Chang Xi gritted his teeth. He thought to himself, Wait until you know how cruel this world is. It is completely different from the outside world. Then you will know how important it is to be here.
Maybe at that time, Gu Zheng, who he did not like, would eagerly send his sister over.
As for him killing the Qilin Beast, it could only be said to be a coincidence. He had heard the whole process at the first moment. As long as anyone did not panic, the opponent's defenseless figure could have killed him.
He did not believe that he was so strong. He was just a person with a strong body, no different from others. How could he be so strong?
Even if you were to call the wind and summon the rain outside, you had to be obedient here. Otherwise, there were many ways to deal with you.
After sending them to the place, Chang Xi went back directly. Some things still needed his grandfather's approval. However, he believed that his grandfather would agree with him. It was not something disgraceful.
Gu Zheng's two houses were close to each other. It seemed that the other party had thought about it thoroughly.
Gu Zheng went in to take a look. It was indeed very simple. Other than a stone bed and two worn-out quilts, there was only a stone cabinet for clothes. There was not even a table. However, there was no dust. It seemed that it had been cleaned.
On the way, Chang Xi had already told them that if they wanted to eat, they should go to the east together and wait for the distribution of some supplies. There was a shortage of supplies here.
After Shuang 'er saw it, she immediately took the initiative to tidy up. At the same time, she took out a quilt from her hand and threw all the worn-out clothes to the side. Gu Zheng did not stop her.
"Young Master, can we live together?" Shuang 'er said with a red face. Seeing Gu Zheng looking at her strangely, Gu Zheng misunderstood and quickly explained.
"I am very scared. I will sleep underground. Moreover, I have enough bedding."
"But this will damage your reputation. No, no." Gu Zheng shook his head. No matter what Shuang 'er said next, he would not agree.
"How about this, don't you have a bell? Keep it by your side. Once I hear a sound, I'll immediately go over. Also, I'll think of a way to leave this place. Just put up with it for now. "Finally, after hearing Gu Zheng's words, Shuang 'Er left with an unwilling expression.
After a sleepless night, Gu Zheng knew that it was daybreak amidst a series of gong-like sounds. There was no such thing as day or night here, but they were very smart people who created this kind of time.
Gu Zheng woke up early in the morning and found Shuang 'er waiting for him at the door. Looking at the other party's haggard appearance, it seemed that she did not rest well last night.
The lightning tribulation in the sky disappeared at an unknown time. It returned to the way it was when Gu Zheng came in.
At this time, a person hurried over. After seeing Gu Zheng and the others wake up, he was not surprised and directly told them to go there to eat.
Although Gu Zheng and Shuang 'er were not hungry at all, they still followed.
Along the way, Gu Zheng also knew why that person took a fancy to Shuang 'er. He did not know if it was because the water and soil here was not good. Although the women here were not ugly, they were also not beautiful. Moreover, they were malnourished all year round, which made their skin a little dull. Even if their facial features were good, it could not bring out their beauty.
When they arrived at a large stone house, there were already a lot of people gathered inside. There were at least a dozen people here. There were also some people from the village who were eating next to them.
However, Gu Zheng did not see Han Xiu and the other two. It seemed that they had not come here yet.
A person who looked like a chef said to them in a loud voice. "You only have three days of free food. After that, you will have to work in exchange for food."
As he said that, he gave them some black bowls. This was their breakfast.
Although it looked bad, they did not cause any trouble. After all, they had no cultivation and were in other people's territory. Of course, they would not look for trouble. Some people even began to eat.
Although their bodies did not need to eat at all, after eating, it would ease the exhaustion of the body. At least, it could maintain the strength of the body for a longer time.
When Gu Zheng came in, the people inside looked up and instantly screamed. They did not even notice that the things in their bowls had been knocked over.
His action attracted everyone's attention. They all looked at Gu Zheng. For a time, almost half of the bowls in their hands fell because they all recognized Gu Zheng. It was the senior Jin Xian who had blocked them at the beginning.
Gu Zheng looked at the dozen people below who all retreated. They looked at him as if they had seen a hungry wolf, and they were like little white rabbits. It was as if their lives would not be in danger as long as they stayed away from him.
Gu Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. Of course, he knew that because these people were robbing him of the things he was guarding, they felt a little guilty. So when they suddenly saw him, they had such a big reaction. He estimated that after a while, they would come back to their senses. At least they would not be afraid of him settling accounts.
Gu Zheng was about to walk in with Shuang 'er when he suddenly felt the ground tremble. A burst of ear-piercing drum sound rang out in the village.
The village's strong men who were eating inside immediately put down the food in their hands and rushed out in an orderly manner.
At the same time, Gu Zheng also heard a rumbling sound coming from the distance. It was as if a huge monster was rushing towards the village.
Gu Zheng's face was also filled with confusion. He directly followed behind them to see what was going on.
At this time, only the people who had just come in were left. One of them suddenly said, "Although that is senior Jin Xian, he should be the same as us. Why should we be afraid of him?"
At this moment, everyone came to a realization. At this moment, they were all the same. Perhaps they could kill the other party as a group, but no one wanted to do so. After all, the other party had nothing to snatch from them, and there was no deep hatred between them.
Following this, they also hurriedly walked out. They were also very curious about what was going on. They did not have anyone to explain it to them in detail, so they could only guess based on the rumors from the outside world.
Along the way, Gu Zheng saw that everyone was mobilized and stood on the western city wall. Village Chief Chang was in the open space at the city gate, commanding everyone. Next to him were a few more elders that he had not seen before. They seemed to be the remaining elders.
Although everyone looked nervous, they did not panic. Although they walked quickly, they were orderly, as if they had experienced this many times.
