With this, Gu Zheng's expression changed. The aura that Hai Ming felt was clearly coming from the Demonic Grass planted inside. Moreover, the more active it was, the more powerful it was. This was also why he felt it so clearly.
What made Gu Zheng puzzled was that this demonic grass was obviously transplanted from his body, but why did it become like this? It seemed to have undergone a great change, and it seemed to have broken away from the concept of demonic grass.
After pinching it a little, it seemed to have replaced the position of the horn. It was different from staying in his body, the tentacles had penetrated into his flesh and blood, becoming a part of him.
He didn't pay much attention to it before, but now it seemed that he had indeed neglected it.
"Master, is Little Fatty okay?" Ren Ling, who was on the side, looked at Gu Zheng for a long time without speaking. Seeing Gu Zheng take back his hand, she couldn't help but worry.
"There's nothing else. It's just that there's been some changes. Let me treat him. You wait here for a while." Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and patted Hai Ming's body. Hai Ming's body immediately became paralyzed and fainted, then he said to Ren Ling.
"Okay!" Ren Ling nodded, watching Gu Zheng take Hai Ming and disappear in front of her in an instant, she prayed in her heart, hoping that everything would be fine.
Gu Zheng turned around and took Hai Ming back to his room, and on the way, he set up a barrier outside to tell himself that he couldn't be disturbed.
Hai Ming's problem was a bit serious. Those tentacles inlaid with flesh and blood had begun to slowly absorb the aura in his body. On Hai Ming's forehead, he could vaguely see a touch of white.
Gu Zheng didn't want to take out the demonic grass from Hai Ming's body. Besides, if he really wanted to take it out now, it would be no different from taking Hai Ming's life.
Hai Ming looked at the demonic grass. It seemed that through some kind of connection, after his body died, the demonic grass began to gradually grow. If it wanted to grow, it would need a lot of energy, so it would expand in all directions.
Because the stimulation was too small, Hai Ming didn't realize it at all, and he didn't check it himself. Fortunately, he came to find Gu Zheng, otherwise, Hai Ming would have been sucked dry in the end.
After Gu Zheng arranged a simple spirit gathering array, Gu Zheng began to prepare.
Since it was because of the Demonic Grass, it was time to take out the Demonic Grass that had lost its vitality.
Soon, Gu Zheng sat up, his heart sinking into the depths of his body. He began to carefully cut out the Demon Grass.
On the surface of Gu Zheng's body, a bulge suddenly appeared, and then rose along his abdomen. However, the speed was very slow, and it only moved forward a little bit after a while.
After half a day, Gu Zheng's head was covered in sweat. His entire body was soaked. The feeling of being forced out bit by bit was as painful as being scraped.
Finally, Gu Zheng spat out a greenish-white substance from his mouth. The Demonic Grass was finally expelled from Gu Zheng's body.
Wiping the sweat off his face, Gu Zheng did not waste any more time and began to take action.
A ball of ordinary golden light rose from Gu Zheng's hand and slowly grabbed the Demonic Grass. Under the golden light, all the aura that belonged to him was swept away bit by bit.
In less than the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the Demonic Grass in Gu Zheng's hand had no more aura. It was as if it had died. If it was outside, it might have been treated as a bunch of weeds.
At this time, a small flame rose from the ring and surrounded the Demonic Grass. Under the scorching heat, the Demonic Grass turned into little drops of colorless liquid and dripped onto Hai Ming's forehead.
Once the liquid fell onto the Demonic Grass, it strangely melted into it and disappeared.
The Demonic Grass in Hai Ming's body greedily absorbed such rich nutrients. It was obvious that the Demonic Grass' body began to expand and grow. It was trying to squeeze out the excess space.
Gu Zheng had been watching Hai Ming's body closely. If there were any abnormalities, he would be able to intervene.
At this time, in the space on Hai Ming's forehead, a ball of black gas suddenly appeared and began to quickly surround the Demonic Grass. It seemed to be preventing the Demonic Grass from expanding unscrupulously.
However, Gu Zheng did not make a move because the black gas had spontaneously formed within Hai Ming's body.
As a result, under Gu Zheng's astonished observation, a small horn unexpectedly grew out from Hai Ming's forehead. A tide of spiritual energy surged out from the horn and into the Demonic Grass stored within.
Although it was called Demonic Grass, there was no Demonic Grass inside it. The Demonic Grass had been transformed by the black gas and had merged with its surroundings. It had become a part of Hai Ming's body and continued to grow a horn.
This horn did not have the side effects of the Demonic Grass, but it had the ability to store spiritual energy. This really shocked Gu Zheng.
"Could it be that the Demonic Grass and a special Demonic Beast combine to produce a strange change? Or is it only under special circumstances? "
Gu Zheng was also puzzled. After all, there were very few Demonic Grasses to begin with. In addition, he had absorbed some strange abilities, which led to this.
After thinking for a long time, Gu Zheng still could not figure out why this happened. However, he knew that Hai Ming was really powerful this time. The amount of spiritual energy stored in this small horn would correspond to the amount of spiritual energy stored in his body. It would probably accompany the Demonic Grass until it reached the limit of its capacity.
Before this, it could be said that Hai Ming had two sets of spiritual energy. It was almost impossible to exhaust him to death!
Needless to say, he would definitely participate in the competition. He could guarantee that he would win this round.
When the absorption speed of the horn slowed down, the previously unconscious Hai Ming was stimulated and began to wake up.
Hai Ming woke up in a daze and shouted, "Am I dead?" When he saw Gu Zheng, he quickly shouted again.
"Master, save me!"
"Hurry up and get up. Don't talk nonsense. You are such a coward." Gu Zheng said in a bad mood. He really could not argue with Hai Ming. Otherwise, he would be angered to death by him sooner or later.
"Oh, oh!" Hai Ming quickly got down from the bed. Now that his mind was a little clearer, he understood what had happened. He knew that Gu Zheng was treating something for him.
"Hey, master, there is something on my head!" Hai Ming, who came down, felt that his head was cool. He curiously touched it and said in surprise.
"Well, go back and study it. I guess your little sister has already gathered." Gu Zheng looked at Hai Ming, who was happily touching his little feet on his head, and immediately said.
Without waiting for Hai Ming's consent, he grabbed his shoulder with one hand and instantly disappeared.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!" In the street where Gu Zheng had left, a tragic cry resounded, which attracted the attention of the nearby people.
However, after seeing that it was Gu Zheng and his disciple, these people sped up and pretended that they did not see anything and quickly left.
Gu Zheng glared at Hai Ming, which made him shut up, and said to the worried Ren Ling, "What are you shouting for? Ren Ling, hurry up and take him away. It's so embarrassing!"
"Yes, master!" Ren Ling replied respectfully, and then pulled Hai Ming's arm and dragged him away.
Hai Ming's protest could be vaguely heard.
"I still have something to say to master. Let me go. "
Gu Zheng shrugged and did not continue to ask that clown. After solving a small problem for Hai Ming, he no longer had the demon grass on his body. He felt a lot more relaxed.
The little bird next to him was on his shoulder, but its half-closed eyes were now only a small gap. Although it was standing tightly on his shoulder, it gave him a bad feeling. It seemed that when he closed his eyes, something bad would happen.
However, he was really helpless now. He even took out some Spirit Dans, but the little bird ignored him. It was like this for a long time, which made him very worried.
Fortunately, there was still good news. After losing the demon grass, he had a feeling that he would definitely be promoted in the near future.
Although there was some certainty in his heart that he would be able to pass this hurdle, it was hard to say whether it would take a few decades or thousands of years.
If it weren't for the benefits brought to him by the demon grass, he probably wouldn't even have the slightest thought about it. He was afraid that it would take many years.
It was useless to be anxious. He had to find a way to solve the broken seal on his body first.
He didn't know if that city had what he needed, but there should be. There were so many things here, so it was reasonable to say that there should be some.
As he thought about it, he walked forward aimlessly. Unknowingly, he walked to the only empty square. His huge statue was still standing there.
However, compared to before, the whole statue seemed to be filled with white light, as if there was a layer of white fog outside. It was completely different from before when the stone was exposed. The whole statue exuded a quiet atmosphere.
After some of the villagers of Xifeng Village came here, even their previous fanaticism calmed down a lot. They all peacefully prayed here.
Only the faint whispers could be heard here. Together with the silence in the air, there was an indescribable peace.
Even Gu Zheng himself, when he came here, some of the irritation in his heart disappeared. It was as if nothing mattered.
Gu Zheng looked at his own statue in front of him. It was familiar yet strange.
The aura on it was left by him, including the faint aura. It was the essence that he extracted from the Li Ring. It could greatly speed up the recovery of one's injuries.
However, the strange thing was that this statue seemed to still have his face, but together with the quiet atmosphere, it seemed to be a little blurry. It was not what he wanted to express at all.
His whole person was wiped out by this peaceful atmosphere. The hot-bloodedness in his heart, the fighting spirit, was completely gone. Only a sense of peace was left, just like the concept of transmission in the West.
No!
Gu Zheng's eyes sharpened. This statue seemed to have undergone some unexpected changes.
Looking at the people around him, there were many iron-blooded warriors, but now, they had all become cute and obedient children.
The spirit in his body was being wiped out bit by bit.
Without the spirit, it did not matter how strong a person was or how high their cultivation was. Their whole person was crippled.
"All of you, leave. I have some things to do!" Gu Zheng's voice resounded in the square.
They did not dare to disobey Gu Zheng's words. They nodded respectfully at Gu Zheng before leaving.
Seeing these people reluctantly leave, and some of them even turned their heads back as they left, as if they were reluctant to leave this place, Gu Zheng realized that something was wrong.
His first reaction was to wonder why He Sheng had not reported to him. However, after thinking about it, the battle had just ended, and the enemy had not completely left yet. They probably did not have time to come here and take a look. They probably did not know what had happened.
Since he had seen it, he would take a look and see what was going on.
Gu Zheng stood outside and carefully looked at the statue. His Divine Sense was constantly observing the inside of the statue.
However, after half a day, Gu Zheng's frown deepened.
In his opinion, there was basically nothing different about this statue. It was just that the materials used were much better than before. Coupled with many exquisite carvings, it looked more lifelike.
However, these were all ordinary materials and would not cause any changes at all.
The core was still the small ball, but the color had all become milky white. It was not much different from the one he had checked before.
Moreover, the small ball did not emit any white smoke. In Gu Zheng's perception, it was still constantly absorbing the power of everyone's incense. It was not much different from before.
That was strange.
The doubts in Gu Zheng's eyes became more and more serious. This was not the case, and that was not the case. It seemed that the white smoke had appeared out of thin air.
However, he did not see anything around him. It was a bit strange.
After looking for a long time without any results, Gu Zheng approached the statue to see if he had to get closer to find something.
Light footsteps sounded in the empty square. Gu Zheng slowly approached the center. At the same time, he was observing bit by bit. However, as before, there was no progress. There was nothing suspicious in his eyes.
Gradually, Gu Zheng walked to the statue and looked up at the huge statue. Gu Zheng put his hand on the leg of the statue, wanting to look more confidently.
There was no cold feeling. Instead, there was some warm touch coming from the statue. Some rough touch came from the palm of his hand.
Gu Zheng instantly understood everything about the statue, but it was still disappointing.
In this way, the biggest suspicion was that something might have gone wrong with the small ball he had transferred before.
Gu Zheng took his hand away from the statue. His mind and the small ball suddenly linked together. He let the aura of the small ball come out from inside. He wanted to see what was going on.
However, something that surprised Gu Zheng happened. The moment the aura of the small ball was revealed, the little bird on his shoulder flew up with a whoosh.
Under Gu Zheng's gaze, the bird's spirit seemed to come back. It did not look dispirited as it flew straight to the statue's head.
Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat. Although he did not know why the bird was in such a state, it definitely had something to do with him drawing out the core of the statue.
He retreated further away. A golden light flashed around him. Gu Zheng was afraid that something would happen, so he completely sealed off the surroundings. Even Gu Zheng could not sense what was happening outside unless someone forcefully broke the seal. However, his mind was still connected to the statue, allowing the special fluctuations to continue spreading.
When the bird flew above the head, it floated there. Wisps of white gas constantly poured into the bird's mouth from the air. The white fog outside the statue surged up at a visible speed. At the same time, Gu Zheng keenly discovered that there was also a wisp of pure white fog flowing out from the core of the statue, constantly replenishing the white fog around the statue.
It turned out that the white fog was really emitted by the small ball. It was no wonder Gu Zheng hadn't noticed it before. It was because the small ball wouldn't replenish it if it didn't expend too much energy.
As the bird's body grew bigger, it was five times bigger than before. Just as it felt like it was about to explode, wisps of black gas were spat out from the bird's mouth.
The wisps of black gas seeped into the statue and finally flowed to the small ball in the middle.
Gu Zheng couldn't help but want to stop it, but thinking that the bird wouldn't do this for no reason, he held back and continued watching what it wanted to do.
In his heart, even if the statue was completely destroyed and there was no incense power, it wouldn't be as helpful as the bird.
The bird's body began to slowly shrink as the wisps of black gas spewed towards the statue.
When the bird's body returned to its original state, the black gas in its mouth no longer appeared. The white fog from the statue began to flow into the bird's mouth again.
Just like inhaling and exhaling, it formed a complete cycle.
This time, it was the same as before. When it reached its limit, wisps of black gas appeared in its mouth again. It began to slowly spit them out into the small ball.
However, Gu Zheng carefully discovered that the bird's body was a little thinner than before. It was as though it was using the white fog to neutralize the green flames in its body.
Every time the bird breathed, it took about two hours to complete.
Gu Zheng wasn't in a hurry as he waited by the side.
After a day, Gu Zheng clearly discovered that the bird's body had become a lot thinner. However, the white fog was still constantly surging out. The bird continued to inhale and spit it out, but its speed was a little faster than before.
After three days, the bird was only a little fatter than before. Furthermore, the white fog in the statue had clearly decreased a lot.
On the fifth day, the bird's face was filled with fatigue. Its body even began to sway. However, from Gu Zheng's point of view, the white fog from the statue was no longer produced. It was as though the black gas had completely neutralized the white fog in the small ball. No white fog was surging out from it.
Even the small ball was no longer as holy as before. Instead, it was becoming more and more transparent. It was like a ball of water. Its surface was constantly undulating. It was very strange.
Gu Zheng's consciousness penetrated it, but he strangely discovered that he could no longer sense its existence. Although he could 'see' it, when he touched it, it was indeed empty.
The last wisp of black gas entered the water ball. The entire water ball flashed with white light and the entire statue shattered. The entire ground trembled as countless sharp rocks shot out in all directions, landing in the surrounding open space.
The huge impact made Gu Zheng lose his consciousness. His entire body flew out and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
However, when he saw the bird's body fall from the sky powerlessly.
Gu Zheng immediately got up and stretched out his hand to catch the bird. With a flash of the Li Bracelet in his hand, he retrieved the bird.
This time, Gu Zheng knew very well that the bird had expended a lot of energy. It would probably need to rest for a while.
