Although Gu Zheng didn't know what was going on, when Hai Ming admitted that he was his master, he felt his heart skip a beat. It was as if there was a strange connection between him and Hai Ming. But he didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't figure it out because he had more important things to do.
That was to show them how to use the blessing. It was a necessary step to activate the statue's power.
Gu Zheng raised both his hands and pressed them down. Soon, there was silence once again. Only the sounds of slightly hurried breathing could be heard. Everyone looked up fervently, anticipating the Ancestor God's demonstration.
Gu Zheng turned around and looked at the statue that looked exactly like him. Then, he walked forward, looking like he was going to collide with the statue.
Just as he was about to collide, a ripple appeared in the air and swallowed Gu Zheng whole. He disappeared in front of everyone.
But at the same time, the statue shone with a yellow light. The black gemstone eyes suddenly lit up.
Then, with a soft sound, a blurry shadow of Gu Zheng appeared in the air. It was made up of faith power.
He floated in the air, and with a flash of light, a flame sword appeared in his hand. He waved it forward, and a flame came off the sword and rushed forward.
Although they couldn't see the final result, there was a loud explosion in the distance. Everyone could hear the sound of water splashing. It was obviously very powerful.
Then, the long sword in the figure's hand suddenly turned into a cloud of red mist and retracted. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a red flaming shield. The next moment, the shield in his hand suddenly expanded and elongated, forming an oval-shaped fire curtain that shielded the figure behind him.
At that moment, Ren Jie and the others stood up and looked up with burning eyes. This kind of attack that could both attack and defend looked very good. At least, it had the basic two variations. But they were still looking forward to the rare third variation. They had seen Gu Zheng's last move, and if it was just that, they would be disappointed.
However, how could Gu Zheng disappoint them? The curtain of fire in his hand spun once more, forming a ferocious fire dragon that soared into the sky. The fire dragon was at least 10 zhang long. Its massive body caused a shadow to appear on the ground, causing everyone to cry out in shock.
While everyone was still in shock, a flame was spat out. It turned into a milky white flame and disappeared in front of everyone.
But at this time, everyone thought that the fire dragon was spitting out its own flames. Although they were curious why it was white, they didn't think that it was the fourth change. They couldn't feel the power because it was all blocked by the strange aura below.
But even so, they were still satisfied.
One had to know that they were only a few thousand people. They couldn't be any smaller. If someone hadn't helped them back then, they would have been scattered and filled with other tribes.
There was probably no tribe smaller than them in this place.
This was because an ordinary tribe had at least tens of thousands of people. A bigger tribe could even have hundreds of thousands of people. This kind of tribe could only be found in the core. It was really a tribe, a city.
It couldn't be helped. There were many humans, but most of them were ordinary tribes.
As the light and shadow above disappeared, the drill was considered to be over. All the strange phenomena from before disappeared.
In the next moment, Gu Zheng's figure appeared from the void before everyone once again.
"Ancestor God, Ancestor God!"
Everyone cheered again. Some people's voices were hoarse, but they were still cheering. To them, this was the moment when they were really relieved.
"Alright, everyone, disperse. Don't disturb the ancestor God!" At that moment, Ren Jie stood up and shouted to everyone.
When everyone heard this, they understood and left. After a short while, there were only a few people left in the area.
"Ancestor God, thank you for doing this. I believe everyone will be even more grateful to you." Elder Ren Jie said to Gu Zheng gratefully.
"It's okay. It's just a small matter. It didn't cost much!"
In fact, Gu Zheng also knew that most people wouldn't choose a very powerful spell when infusing the Ancestor God statue with magic power. This was because the other party could judge some of your trump cards based on the spell you bestowed. In this way, your powerful trump card would be seen through by the other party.
When the other party was on guard, you wouldn't be able to get the best result if you wanted to take them by surprise.
"Master, Master!"
Hai Ming shouted as he ran towards Gu Zheng.
As soon as he spoke, Gu Zheng knew who had caused him to be afraid. But when did he accept him as a disciple?
"What's wrong, Hai Ming?" Gu Zheng didn't ask why he called himself his disciple. Seeing him running over, he was puzzled.
"Are you a little bored here and want to go home?"
"No, I'm very happy here. I have many friends to play with, and Xiao Ling taught me a lot of things. It's really great." Hearing this, Hai Ming immediately became excited because when he was at home, a group of adults accompanied him and didn't play with him. It was really annoying. Anyway, he didn't want to go back at all.
"Oh, then what do you want?" Gu Zheng could see that he was really happy here. His little belly was slightly bulging.
"It's like this, Master!" Hai Ming just thought of what he wanted to do. He pulled Ren Ling, who was hiding behind him, out. "I want you to accept Sister Xiao Ling as your disciple, so that we can play together!"
He was so excited that he spoke out his true thoughts, but he didn't care at all.
Ren Ling, on the other hand, looked at Gu Zheng with a longing expression.
"Nonsense!"
Before Gu Zheng spoke, a loud shout came from the side. Hai Ming jumped back in fright and then said with dissatisfaction.
"I say, Uncle Ren, why are you so loud? My master hasn't said anything yet."
At this time, he called Ren Baqian master very firmly.
Because he found that after he called Gu Zheng master, the way they looked at him immediately changed. Although he was young, his feelings were stronger than ordinary people, and it was easier for him to feel other people's hearts.
Hearing this, Ren Jie suppressed his irritable words, took a deep breath, and then said slowly.
"I don't agree at all that she wants to be Gu Zheng's disciple. This kind of thing is not negotiable!"
"Why not? It's not you who wants to be his disciple. Why don't you want her to be his disciple?" Ren Jie's voice was sharp, and Hai Ming came over and raised his head to refute.
"You don't know, but Ren Ling, you forgot that no one here can be another's disciple. You have to know that you are also a devout person, and your fate is already tied to the ancestor god's. Do you want to resist here?"
Ren Jie didn't ask Hai Ming, but asked Ren Ling.
Ren Ling, who was originally nervous, turned pale instantly. She had just thought of this. The people here were not allowed to learn the outside world's cultivation methods.
The aborigines born here were automatically branded by the space here. Once they cultivated the outside world's cultivation methods, they would be automatically sensed. No one needed to do anything, and thunder would fall from the sky and directly strike them to death, no matter how high their cultivation was.
This included the Little Goblin who had transformed here. Every year, many animals were let in here, and many of them could easily transform into human beings under this sky.
After all, there was no danger here except for a few worlds.
In the past, there were people who didn't know the difference between life and death. Now, there was a consensus that learning the outside world's cultivation methods was a minefield.
Even the Goblin who was born here was also restricted. However, they had been here since before they transformed. Once they transformed, they would be forced to cultivate similar cultivation methods in their minds. The only advantage was that they didn't have to rely on the ancestor god like humans.
The only thing that was not restricted was the cultivation methods of the devout, but their nature was still linked to the power of incense. It was really difficult to really succeed.
Even so, there was a limit to the number of people each statue could give. In the end, the stronger the statue was, the more people would be able to cultivate with them. This was because the source of their cultivation came mostly from the power of incense from the statue.
They worshiped the statue, and a part of it would nourish themselves.
"Forget it, Brother Fatty, I don't want to be the ancestor god's disciple. Thank you!" Ren Ling said disappointedly.
"But that's what we said. Besides, you can just be my junior sister. You won't stop learning cultivation methods from the outside world. You can continue learning your own cultivation methods. Isn't that enough?" At this time, Hai Ming's brain had never worked so fast. In order not to let Xiao Ling down, he also performed for a long time.
But he didn't know that at this time, there was a little fog on his forehead. It was so small that no one except Gu Zheng noticed it.
Ren Ling, whose eyes were originally shining, was stunned. She felt that what Hai Ming said was very reasonable.
"Uncle Ren, in this case, you can't stop it anymore!" Hai Ming felt that his idea was great and couldn't help but say proudly.
One had to know that he had been here for decades. Of course, he knew some taboos. Although he didn't think of it before, he wouldn't let Xiao Ling die.
"That's … that's true." Ren Jie was stunned. If this was actually just a nominal master, he really didn't have a good excuse to object.
"Then it's settled." Hai Ming saw that Ren Jie had nothing to say and immediately said, as if he had accepted a disciple and had completely forgotten the existence of Gu Zheng.
However, he didn't really forget. He just gave Ren Jie an illusion that the facts were fixed. He turned over and said to Gu Zheng with a pitiful face.
"Master, let me, Xiao Ling, be my junior sister!"
Gu Zheng was also stunned by the series of performances of the other party. He didn't expect that Hai Ming, who usually looked very simple, would have such a 'smart' side for his own ideas.
At this time, Ren Jie didn't ask. In his opinion, Gu Zheng definitely wouldn't agree to this kind of joke, but what happened next was beyond his expectations.
"No problem, but if you leave the sect, then she will automatically leave." Gu Zheng said to Hai Ming with a half-smile.
"Don't worry, master. I definitely won't leave." Hai Ming heard this and laughed foolishly.
Ren Ling's face also smiled. Although she couldn't cultivate the cultivation methods of the outside world, she was now the disciple of the ancestor god. Her vanity was satisfied, and her heart was as sweet as honey.
"Thank you, little fatty brother!"
"Hehe! I'm a man of my word. "Hai Ming chuckled.
"I know what I'm doing. Don't worry, I won't harm your granddaughter." Gu Zheng looked at Ren Jie's worried face and said to him.
"Ah, I'm sorry to trouble the ancestor god." Ren Jie said to Gu Zheng apologetically.
"It's okay. You go ahead. I still have something to do." Gu Zheng casually found an excuse and then stopped Hai Ming who was about to leave.
"Hai Ming, come with me. I happen to have time. I'll see what's wrong with your body."
"Oh, okay." Hai Ming turned around and then quickly said to Ren Ling, who was next to him.
"Wait for me. I'll go to the beach and catch some fish for you later. I'll ask Aunt Xue to cook. "
After saying that, he followed Gu Zheng and left.
Soon, Gu Zheng brought Hai Ming back to his small courtyard.
"Master, why are there so many runes here?" As soon as he entered, Hai Ming saw a lot of runes and made a fuss.
"Don't talk nonsense. Since I'm your master now, you have to listen to everything I say." Gu Zheng took a chair out of nowhere and sat on it.
"Plop."
When Hai Ming heard this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed. Before Gu Zheng said anything, he stood up again.
"I'm done!"
Gu Zheng looked at Hai Ming's satisfied face. It seemed that he had done something very meaningful, so he decided not to be angry with him.
In fact, Gu Zheng didn't want to accept him as his disciple, but when he was about to make a decision, Gu Zheng was ready to accept him. It wasn't that Gu Zheng sympathized with him, but when Gu Zheng was about to make a decision, his heart moved. He vaguely understood that if he rejected him, he would lose something inexplicable.
It seemed that he and Hai Ming's Little Goblin had a fate. It seemed that there were only benefits and no harm, so Gu Zheng agreed to accept him.
However, they were only master and disciple in name. Gu Zheng didn't plan on teaching him any cultivation techniques because there was already a high-level cultivation technique in his body that was very suitable for him.
"How old are you today? Where are your parents? Who else is in your family? "Hai Ming asked three questions in a row.
"I seem to be only 47,000 years old this year. My father is here, my mother is outside, I have a brother, but he is also outside. My brother seems to be more than two million years old today." When Hai Ming heard about Guzheng's culture, his face showed a bit of confusion. Then he counted with his fingers and said.
Gu Zheng was a little surprised. He had thought that Hai Ming was only a child. After all, he could tell from his mind and body. He didn't expect him to be so old.
But that shouldn't be the case. Hai Ming practiced a high-level cultivation method, and his talent wasn't bad. How could this be?
"Give me your hand. I'll take a look." Gu Zheng frowned. He couldn't see anything wrong with Hai Ming from the outside.
Hai Ming didn't make a fuss this time. He obediently gave Hai Ming his hand and explained.
"I seem to have heard my follower mutter that something happened to me in the past, but I don't remember anything."
Gu Zheng nodded and grabbed Hai Ming's wrist. A surge of magic entered Hai Ming's body.
After a while, Gu Zheng let go of Hai Ming's hand. His frown loosened a little.
"Master, is there anything wrong with me?" Hai Ming didn't even dare to breathe loudly before. Now, he finally asked carefully.
"En, there isn't much of a problem. But I can't solve it for the time being. Here, take this. You can go out first. I'll take a look at it." Gu Zheng took out a jade pendant. It was the same as the one he had given Xiao Ling. Apart from the design being different, its function was exactly the same.
"Thank you, Master!" Hai Ming happily received it. One had to know that in order to escape, he didn't bring anything with him. This was to prevent them from leaving a mark on him.
In the past, when he hid in the mountains, he was quickly found by them. Thus, he knew where the problem was.
Hai Ming, who was just about to leave, suddenly turned around and said, "Oh right, Master, I'll have to trouble you with something."
"Can you give me another one? I want to bring one for Junior Sister."
Gu Zheng looked at the fawning smile on Hai Ming's face and said unhappily.
"I already gave it to her."
"Oh, I see. But as her Little Fatty Brother, I can't let her enter the sect empty-handed!" Hai Ming still looked at Gu Zheng, the desire in his eyes clear.
"Here, hurry up and leave for me!"
A small milky white jade bottle flashed through the air and landed in Hai Ming's hands.
"Thank you, Master. I'll be leaving first!" Hai Ming immediately beamed with joy when he saw the bottle. His small figure dashed out quickly, leaving only these words in the air.
Gu Zheng shook his head. Hai Ming's body was much less restrained, and he was much more cheerful. Perhaps it had to do with his identity as a Goblin. After all, most humans were very well-behaved.
Through the door, he watched Hai Ming's figure disappear into the bamboo forest. The courtyard door closed automatically, and Gu Zheng fell into deep thought.
When he had examined Hai Ming's body earlier, he had discovered that there was indeed something unusual about his body.
If Gu Zheng's guess was correct, Hai Ming should have accidentally swallowed some heavenly treasure.
From the aura of the horn hidden under his forehead, it was very likely that he had eaten an immature Xiantian spirit item. In the end, because his body was unable to withstand the impact of the spirit treasure, he had directly fainted. Then, something unexpected had happened, causing his body to be injured a second time.
However, the spirit medicine that he had eaten had taken the initiative to gather around his horn. Although it had protected him from death, and even improved his body bit by bit, it had also caused him to lose all of his memories. It was so serious that he might not be able to recover them.
This had also caused his current situation. Because too much energy had accumulated in his body, it was squeezing it out, causing his body and intelligence to develop even more slowly.
The only way now was to pull his horn out of his body. Although it would cause his vitality to be greatly damaged, it was the only way.
Moreover, his intelligence and body would develop normally, which was a good thing for him.
However, Hai Ming's horn was not so easy to remove. After all, it was the lifeblood of his race. If he was not careful and forcefully pulled it out, he would most likely die.
However, if he did not pull it out, Hai Ming's body would have accumulated too much energy. It was very likely that he would not be able to withstand it for tens of thousands of years, and would explode and die. This was also thanks to his Goblin body being tyrannical. If it were a human, he would have died in a few hundred years.
This was also where Gu Zheng hesitated. He did not have a complete plan to ensure Hai Ming's safety. This was a bit troublesome.
