"Xiao Ying!"
Gu Zheng raised his head and saw Xiao Ying hovering above his head. He didn't think that it was Wu Xiang who had helped him, but Xiao Ying.
At this time, the Buddha's light in her hand had yet to disperse, and Wu Xiang was still quietly hovering in the air. He didn't seem to have any intention of interfering.
"How did you stop him!"
Gu Zheng was very surprised. One had to know that there was a whole realm between the two of them. Not to mention stopping the other party from moving, even interfering with the other party's movement was very impressive.
"Hee hee, of course. Great Master Wu Xiang had passed on a lot of his knowledge to me. I even comprehended a kind of magic that is specially used to restrain these demons. It's super powerful. If you can't deal with him, I can kill him!"
Xiao Ying said with a smile, as if it was a matter of course.
"Good, good. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have intervened and let you show off your might." Gu Zheng chuckled. He didn't believe her at all. However, he wouldn't say it out loud. Instead, he had a look of 'I knew you would intervene.'
"Let me treat you!" Xiao Ying saw Gu Zheng's tired appearance and immediately descended.
Not allowing Gu Zheng to refuse, a Buddha's light emerged from her hand, and countless golden lights entered Gu Zheng's body.
"I feel much better, thank you!"
Gu Zheng felt a lazy feeling coming from his body. At the same time, he felt that his internal injuries and the injuries on the surface of his body were rapidly healing.
Xiao Ying pursed her lips and smiled. She didn't say anything, but the joy in the depths of her eyes grew.
After a full incense stick's worth of time, Xiao Ying stopped her hand movements.
"Merciful Buddha, Ten Thousand Buddhas Unite!"
At this time, a loud Buddha's name suddenly came from the sky. At the same time, the nearby golden lights suddenly shrank and disappeared.
Gu Zheng looked up and saw that Wu Xiang had moved again. He held the Nine-Layered Pagoda in one hand and placed the other hand in front of his chest. He seemed to be muttering something.
The Nine-Layered Pagoda in his hand shone even brighter, as if it wanted to pierce through the sky.
Suddenly, Wu Xiang threw the Nine-Layered Pagoda in his hand into the sky. The Nine-Layered Pagoda's body rapidly expanded until it was about a thousand feet in size.
"Engraving technique, rise!"
At the same time, Wu Xiang's entire body shone with an extremely bright golden light. He pointed his finger at the ground, and an endless amount of golden light fell from the nine-story pagoda like a rainstorm.
However, before they could land on the ground, they exploded in midair, one after another, like brilliant fireworks blooming in the air.
At the same time, an unfathomable Buddhist formation appeared in mid-air. Under the illumination of the golden light, it enveloped the entire Desert Sea City.
At this moment, the three undamaged Buddha statues appeared in the air again. Their amiable faces were now filled with anger, as if they knew that they were about to suppress the demons of the myriad worlds.
"Almsgiver Gu, thank you for eliminating my inner demon and the evil creature that escaped. I am unable to repay such a great favor. Leave the rest to me. I will completely suppress this place."
As Formless spoke, his body began to expand rapidly until he was the same size as the Buddha statues. At the same time, he stood at the missing corner.
As soon as his voice fell, before Gu Zheng and Xiao Ying could react, a ray of light suddenly rose up beside them. The next moment, the two figures appeared outside Desert City.
"Great Master Wu Xiang!"
Tears glistened in Xiao Ying's eyes as she shouted towards the sky. It was obvious what Formless was going to do next.
"When Great Master Wu Xiang decided to get rid of his inner demon, he was already powerless to reverse the situation. Perhaps this is the best ending!" Gu Zheng placed his hands on Xiao Ying's shoulders and said helplessly.
"Wuwuwu, I know. I don't want to lose Great Master Wu Xiang." Xiao Ying turned and buried her head in Gu Zheng's waist as she sobbed.
"Ai …"
Gu Zheng only sighed and patted Xiao Ying's back lightly. Not to mention him, even a Sage would not be able to reverse her fate.
If not for his appearance, she would not have ended up well. After all, this was the karma that he had planted in the past. At this time, only by doing this could he repay the past.
In the sky, as the four Buddha statues slowly tilted, the nine-story pagoda above them and the formation in mid-air also pressed down.
One could vaguely see countless grey fog emerging from below. When the ear-piercing sound reached here, it was almost inaudible.
The entire city began to crumble under that invisible pressure. Everything left in the city began to turn into dust. Fortunately, there was no sign of life in it.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that the other party's figure was still slowly pressing down, Gu Zheng said to Xiao Ying. It seemed that it would take at least two hours for it to completely descend.
"Let's wait until the end!" Xiao Ying raised her head with teary eyes and pleaded to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng nodded. He looked at Xiao Ying and wiped away her tears. Then, he turned around and looked in the direction of the pagoda.
At this time, only the top of the pagoda could be seen clearly. Everything else was shrouded by the golden light of the formation. No one could see the situation inside clearly.
Just like this, a little more than two hours passed. Then, the figure of the pagoda in the sky suddenly flashed. In the next moment, everything in front of them disappeared. Only the crumbling walls of the city remained.
Xiao Ying's body suddenly moved, and she ran inside.
Gu Zheng also followed behind him, observing the surroundings along the way.
At this time, all traces of the formation had disappeared. When they arrived at the place where the temple used to be, it had also turned into a pile of ruins. Nothing was left.
Even the traces of Gu Zheng's previous battle had been completely erased. It was as if nothing had ever existed.
Xiao Ying finally stopped in front of Wu Xiang's residence. Her pair of somewhat red eyes looked in front of her in disappointment.
In these few short days, Grandmaster Wu Xiang had taught her wholeheartedly and cared for her. Xiao Ying had always remembered this in her heart. She had never thought that she would lose him just like this.
Gu Zheng understood her feelings. To her, Wu Xiang could be considered her master, even if he did not take Xiao Ying as a disciple.
However, at this time, Gu Zheng remembered that he had forgotten to ask Xiao Ying about the scripture in his bosom.
While he was deep in thought, Xiao Ying had already sorted out her emotions. She came in front of Gu Zheng and looked at the scripture in Gu Zheng's hand.
"Is this thing still in your hands? I thought you gave it to Grandmaster Wu Xiang. "
"I forgot. But it should be something related to Buddhism. Why don't you take it? You can look at the records in the future." Gu Zheng simply handed the scripture to Xiao Ying. It was useless for him to hold on to this thing.
Xiao Ying nodded. Then, she stretched out her hand and took it.
"Young Master, let's go! Perhaps the people who are leaving in the distance will need our protection. "
It was obvious that she wanted to complete Wu Xiang's final order. At least, she wanted to settle all these people.
"No problem. I will do it even if you don't say. After all, it will be too difficult for them to leave with their strength." Gu Zheng said without thinking.
Their supplies might not even be enough to make it out of this place. And, this was assuming an optimistic situation.
After saying that, Gu Zheng turned around and walked outside with Xiao Ying. He was ready to leave this place.
But at this time, the ground suddenly shook. Then, a rumbling sound came from underground. It was as if something was about to drill out from below.
Gu Zheng immediately stood in front of Xiao Ying. He looked at the ground not far away. It had already protruded a little.
"Crash!"
A small figure broke out of the ground and flew toward Gu Zheng at an extremely fast speed.
The next moment, Gu Zheng's figure flashed to one side, exposing Xiao Ying behind him. He let her face that thing alone.
Xiao Ying didn't have time to react. She found that thing had already arrived in front of her.
His speed suddenly slowed down, and he came to a stop in front of Xiao Ying.
"Nine-layered Pagoda!"
Xiao Ying saw the thing in front of her clearly. She cried out involuntarily.
Looking at the Nine-layered Pagoda in front of her, Xiao Ying subconsciously stretched out her small hand. Before she could grab it, the Nine-layered Pagoda turned into a streamer and fell into her palm. Even its size had shrunk by several times. It just happened to be held in her small palm.
"Master Wu Xiang!"
Xiao Ying felt the aura inside, and tears flowed down her face. Needless to say, Wu Xiang had directly sent this pagoda up after completely suppressing it below.
Even if Xiao Ying left this place, this Nine-layered Pagoda would follow her aura and directly come to her side.
She thought that Wu Xiang might have known that a day like this would come, and had already given her control of this pagoda.
"Master Wu Xiang is indeed honorable and respectable. At the final moment, let him live on her body. Xiao Ying, you go back to the painting and rest." Gu Zheng pondered for a while. Seeing that Xiao Ying seemed to be unable to control her emotions this time, he hurriedly instructed her.
Xiao Ying nodded subconsciously. It was unknown whether she had listened, but her body still didn't move.
Helpless, Gu Zheng took out the painting and waved it in front of Xiao Ying. Her body was instantly sucked into the painting in his hand.
Gu Zheng gently wiped the painting in his hand. Xiao Ying's body slowly fell down and fell unconscious on the grass in the middle. However, her hand still tightly held onto the Nine-layered Pagoda.
After doing all this, Gu Zheng turned around and his entire body turned into Master Wu Xiang's face. Even his aura was 70% similar.
Although he couldn't fool people with a slightly higher cultivation, Gu Zheng didn't have any Buddhist power on him. They could see through him at a glance.
However, Master Wu Xiang's disciples and the poor people couldn't tell.
After doing all this, Gu Zheng turned around and flew outside. At this time, the strange Array Formation covering this area had completely disappeared. There was no need to worry about any unexpected situation.
However, Gu Zheng had only appeared not far from the desert city when he saw three people rushing outside with difficulty. It was Qi Cha and the other two.
However, when Gu Zheng saw them, the people below also saw Gu Zheng. Their faces immediately revealed ecstatic expressions and they shouted something at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng simply waved his hand and a gust of wind swept up, wrapping them up and continuing to move forward.
After a short while, Gu Zheng walked forward along the path that was obviously left behind by a large group of people. Soon, he met some civilians who were alone and brought them up one after another.
Soon, he saw a large group of people resting in front of him.
Seeing the return of "Wu Xiang", everyone was obviously very excited. Not to mention that even the people who were alone were brought back by Wu Xiang.
Gu Zheng told Wu Xiang's former disciples that the evil had been completely sealed. However, no one could live there and they still continued to move forward.
However, Gu Zheng didn't let them rely on the two pairs of legs to walk. There weren't many of them. At this time, Gu Zheng already had the ability to bring these people away.
They simply rested there for a day. After informing everyone, they were carried away by Gu Zheng until they were far away from this desert area. Only then did he put down the dizzy people.
Only then did he continue to walk toward the nearest bustling city.
Since he wanted to help Wu Xiang completely understand, Gu Zheng spent a lot of effort. First, he settled all the civilians down. Then, he took the remaining monk records and rushed to the most famous temple nearby.
Xiangde Temple!
Xiangde Temple was actually not far from this city. It was hidden in a small mountain range in the forest.
Although it was a long way away and it would take at least two days for the pilgrims to come, there was still an endless stream of people.
"Please pay your respects to Master De Shan." In a beautiful mountain range, Gu Zheng said to a monk who opened the door.
The young monk opened the door, glanced at Gu Zheng, and politely said, "Today is my temple's shower day. We are not receiving guests. If you need, please come again another day."
"I know. If you mention the name 'Wu Xiang' to Master De Shan, he might know." Gu Zheng looked at the young monk, who was just an ordinary person, and said to him.
Facing the solemn temple, Gu Zheng returned to his original appearance to show respect.
The people he brought were still waiting at the foot of the mountain. Many of them were dismissed by Gu Zheng, leaving only the core disciples to lead them.
"Very well, benefactor, please wait a moment." The young monk looked at the smiling Gu Zheng and said to Gu Zheng. Then, he closed the door again.
Gu Zheng did not mind and waited quietly outside.
After waiting for half a day, Gu Zheng's ears twitched. He clearly heard a few people rushing over.
"Creak"
As the door opened, a white-browed old man with a face full of wrinkles and a goatee walked out. Behind him were a few disciples with steady auras.
"You are? Why isn't Master Wu Xiang here? " The white-browed old man looked at Gu Zheng. There was no ripple in his eyes as he asked Gu Zheng.
"Master De Shan, let's talk a little further. It's a long story!" Gu Zheng looked at the people around him. The meaning in his words was self-evident.
"Then let's talk a little further." Master De Shan made a gesture of invitation and led Gu Zheng in.
The scenery in Xiang De Temple was beautiful. It was obviously designed by a famous designer. Gu Zheng even looked at the original environment. It was ingeniously blended in with the scenery, making it even more artistic.
However, Gu Zheng did not observe too much. In less than half a cup of tea's time, they arrived at a room that looked good. It was obviously a place to receive guests.
A person served two cups of tea and hurriedly left.
"Can you tell me now, Master Wu Xiang? What's going on? I can sense Wu Xiang's aura from your body. There's also an evil aura. " Master De Shan stretched out his hand and a layer of barrier rose outside the room silently. It ensured that no one could peek into the situation inside.
Although Master De Shan's cultivation seemed to be the same as Wu Xiang's, he gave Gu Zheng a faint sense of danger.
"It's like this …" Gu Zheng quickly explained the situation to Master De Shan until he had arranged everything properly.
Master De Shan's calm expression became tense in the end.
"If that's the case, there's an evil entrance under the desert city? No wonder that old monk Ci Bei was so mysterious after he came back from there. He even took in a disciple. If I had known, I wouldn't have ended up in such a state! "
De Shan finally let out a deep breath and said slowly.
Although he knew about Wu Xiang, he had only interacted with him once. He only went to comfort him when he knew about Ci Bei's death.
Gu Zheng's heart moved. Since they were so close, he might know some information.
"Perhaps Master Wu Xiang felt that he could seal it. That's why he didn't trouble you. That's why I've been using Master Wu Xiang's face along the way. They don't know that he has sacrificed himself. I will find a reason to leave and they will stay here with you. What do you think, Master De Shan? "Gu Zheng said to Master De Shan.
"That's not a problem. They are Buddhists. We are family. I will send someone to bring them up." De Shan also understood and agreed directly.
"But I'm also very curious. You said that Master Ci Bei became a little mysterious after he came back from a place. Where did he go?" Gu Zheng didn't hide anything and asked directly.
"Of course, he went to the Savage Land hundreds of thousands of miles away. You may not know, but that place used to be a very prosperous place. However, after a great disaster that no one knew about happened, there were casualties everywhere. Later on, a nearby Renhuang who was also a cultivator led a team to suppress that place. However, he also stayed there forever."
De Shan looked at Gu Zheng strangely. However, he didn't ask much and directly said it.
"Even I am envious of the pagoda in his hand. I also brought it out from there. However, after he came back, he didn't have much contact with it. However, from what he said, he seemed to have been entrusted with a great task. Then, he ran around the world to collect things. He didn't say anything when I asked him."
Master De Shan said so much, but Gu Zheng already knew the main points.
"Now, even his disciple and treasure have been completely sealed. I don't know if he regretted it when he knew about this."
"No matter what, Master Ci Bei and Master Wu Xiang are respectable masters. They also successfully sealed the entrance below." Gu Zheng stood up and said.
"I'll go down and bring them up first. I'll have to trouble you after that."
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he nodded slightly to Master De Shan and then walked out.
"Since that seal has been completely sealed, I should go back and report. After guarding for hundreds of thousands of years, I didn't expect to fail inside. It's really a pity. Why didn't I notice it at all? It's strange. I should go back and ask Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."
De Shan murmured as he looked at Gu Zheng's disappearing back.
