"What's going on!"
Gu Zheng quickly rushed over and saw that the burly man from before was still blocked by Xiao Ying. In another corner, Leng Xin was lying there weakly with her arms hanging down.
Seeing that Xiao Ying was fine, Gu Zheng was relieved. However, he still couldn't help but ask.
"I accidentally blocked his path just now. As a result, I was hit by this monster and became like this." Xiao Ying saw that Gu Zheng had arrived and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she said with some annoyance.
When Gu Zheng heard this, he also understood what had happened. Xiao Ying was so frightened that she became like this.
"Be careful, the enemy behind you is coming again." At this time, Xiao Ying saw someone behind the passage from the corner of her eyes. When she saw that it was the enemy she had just fought, she couldn't help but scream.
"Be careful!"
Even Kun Yu's expression changed and shouted at the same time.
However, Gu Zheng wasn't too nervous. The other party had been following behind Gu Zheng and didn't seem to have any malicious intent.
"This person's weakness is three inches below the back of his head. It's his Achilles' heel. As long as you hit it, he will definitely die!" The burly man looked at the scene in front of him and said with a gloomy expression.
"How do you know so much?" Gu Zheng looked at the burly man who had walked to him and couldn't help but ask.
"I know more than you can imagine. But so what?" The burly man said expressionlessly. His eyes were still looking at the burly man in front of him as if he knew him.
Gu Zheng glanced at him and rushed toward the burly man. No matter what, he had to deal with this burly man first.
This scene also confused Kun Yu and the others. They remembered that Gu Zheng was fighting with this man before. How come the two of them seemed to have reconciled in just a short while?
"You can take that little girl's waist token and the other party won't attack you." Under Gu Zheng's attack, the burly man was forced into a defensive state. However, it was also very difficult to attack the other party's weakness.
At this time, the burly man spoke again.
"Waist token? What waist token!" Gu Zheng did not react in time. However, after seeing the token on Xiao Ying's waist, he instantly understood why the other party did not attack Xiao Ying.
Most likely, this invulnerable man had also been transformed by the Evil Demon. As for this token, it had dropped from the Evil Demon, so it naturally wouldn't attack him.
The reason why the burly man was chasing after Xiao Ying was probably because he had been lured out by her.
"So it's because of this. I thought he was afraid of me." Xiao Ying had a look of sudden realization, but she still retreated.
"Here, young master." After retreating to a safe place, Xiao Ying threw the token directly to Gu Zheng.
After Gu Zheng caught him, he found that this strong man was also afraid of him. Just like Xiao Ying, he didn't talk back when he was scolded, and didn't fight back when he was hit.
In this way, Gu Zheng was even more relaxed. In just half a cup of tea's time, the body in this state collapsed with a loud bang, finally killing this burly man completely.
His weakness was indeed as the other party had said, the back of his head.
After doing all this, Gu Zheng asked Leng Xin if she was fine, and then walked towards the burly man.
"Are you going to be buried here?" Gu Zheng asked directly.
"Is there a need to guess? If it wasn't for the waist token on the girl's body that attracted me and made me mistakenly think that you were Evil Demons, I wouldn't have had to fight to the death with you. I just didn't expect that you had people on the Shura's side. Someone actually gave me a Devil Repelling Pill that completely dispelled the black gas in my body. Otherwise, even after tens of thousands of years, I wouldn't have been able to escape."
Although the words in the air confirmed Gu Zheng's thoughts, he was not happy at all.
"Shura? I don't have people there! "Gu Zheng said doubtfully.
"It doesn't matter. Did you come here for my emperor's sword?" The burly man looked at Gu Zheng and asked.
"No. Since you've returned to normal, congratulations on breaking free from the Evil Demon's control. I want to ask if you know a group of people who were captured and brought here, and where they are."
Gu Zheng looked at the burly man who had stayed here for an unknown number of years and said. However, in his heart, he was wondering who this "My King" was. To think that a Grand Luo would willingly guard the Sword Mausoleum for him.
"Of course I know. Although my consciousness is in a confused state, I still know a thing or two about everything here." The burly man nodded.
This made Gu Zheng overjoyed, and he immediately asked.
"Then how do we get there? I need to save our friends."
"It's the third passage above. Although it's the shortest path, I don't think you should take it because the path has been blocked by the Evil Demon Craftsmen. It's best to contact your Shura friends and go through them. There's a very safe passage." The burly man said honestly, as if he didn't hide anything.
This made Gu Zheng skeptical. In truth, he couldn't trust him at all. However, he didn't have any Shura friends. It was wishful thinking for him to walk through the other party's territory. He probably didn't want them to die fast enough.
"Thank you. If we can really save my friends, your help will be engraved in my heart." Gu Zheng cupped his hands and said to the others.
"Let's talk after we get out."
Gu Zheng and the others quickly returned to the hall from before and continued to treat Leng Xin's injuries. It seemed like she would only need a short while to recover seventy to eighty percent of her strength.
The burly man also followed Gu Zheng and the others, looking at them.
"Can you tell us the path in detail? How long do we need to walk to get there?" Gu Zheng looked at the passage that the burly man was pointing at. After thinking for a while, he walked over and asked.
"It's very close. If everything goes well, we can get there in half a day. The front has already been occupied by vengeful spirits, but it's still the same. The Divine Dragon Pillar behind us has also been invaded by that evil spirit. Right now, we don't know if it's demonized or if it's like me. In short, it's going to be difficult." The burly man's eyes flashed.
"What are you going to do next?" Gu Zheng didn't know what the burly man was trying to do or why he was telling them so much.
"Me? I need to find that sword and take it away. I'm going to find my emperor's tomb and send it there to accompany my emperor. "The burly man hesitated for a moment, then said again.
"Can you lend me that set of heavy armor? Although it's a set of equipment left behind by my emperor and I can't wear it without permission, I need it to increase my strength."
"Okay. Little Ying, give that set of armor to this general." Gu Zheng didn't think too much about it and agreed. Although he could keep it for himself, he had a feeling that it was better to give it to the burly man.
This was because the burly man in front of him, whether it was the way he walked or the way he did things, it was obvious that he had led an army before. Perhaps they could form a good relationship and help each other out here.
Gu Zheng didn't forget that there was probably going to be a fierce battle at the exit. If he had an extra helper, he might be able to reduce his losses in the end. That was why he agreed.
Although Little Ying was a bit unwilling, she still handed over the entire set of heavy armor.
"Many thanks! I still have some things to do, so I'll take my leave first. " The burly man's eyes flashed with joy as he thanked Gu Zheng. Then, he strode towards another passage.
If it wasn't for the heavy armor, he would have left long ago.
Gu Zheng silently watched the burly man leave, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wasn't he afraid that they would steal his sword? That was something he wanted to protect. He didn't seem to be on guard against outsiders like them. Was it just because of the Shura and that evil spirit?
"Young Master Gu, I feel that I've recovered. Let's hurry on our way!"
At this moment, Leng Xin stood up and moved around a bit, interrupting Gu Zheng's thoughts. Gu Zheng looked at her and asked.
"Do you want to rest for a bit? Alright, let's continue on our way. Everyone, be careful. You've all heard that there are vengeful spirits ahead, and there seem to be quite a few of them. "
Gu Zheng instructed when he saw the other party firmly shaking his head. He did not mind instructing the other party again.
The group once again hurried on, and this path was one of the paths that led to other places.
Soon, an even more dilapidated place appeared in front of them. There were small stone houses built one after another in a disorderly manner. Most of them were broken, revealing even more dilapidated things inside.
Most of them were the tools of some craftsmen, and in almost every stone house, there was a pale ghost lying quietly. Just in this hall, there were hundreds of ghosts, and from the looks of the huge door in front of them, it was still like this inside.
Moreover, these were not the kind of weak wandering ghosts. If that were the case, any one of them here would have to face a hundred times more than this.
The aura of these people was still mixed with the strange sword intent and the fluctuations of the black water.
If they swarmed together, Gu Zheng could only say that he wouldn't be injured. Xiao Ying could return to the painting, but the others wouldn't be so lucky.
At this moment, everyone had already stopped breathing. They tiptoed inside. There was clearly only one small passage here, and the other halls were like this. Clearly, this was the only path.
However, if they wanted to go through, it could be said that they had to cross the middle. Almost all the sides were like those stone houses, and only the middle had a big enough gap for them to pass through.
The group formed a long line and slowly moved forward. They looked at the vengeful spirits lying quietly beside them. At this moment, they all had a resentful look. Even if they were sleeping, they could still feel the resentment in their hearts.
In less than the time it took for an incense stick to burn, everyone smoothly passed through while being on tenterhooks. When they arrived at the other side of the passage, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, they were given face at this time. No one moved, and everyone stayed in their own stone houses.
"You are so lucky. I think you are my lucky kitten." Xiao Ying was also the same. Seeing the kitten obediently lying on her shoulder, she couldn't help but stroke it again.
"Ding Ling"
A soft sound of a bell rang in the air. The kitten nodded in accordance with Xiao Ying's words. The bell on its neck started to shake, and issued a weak sound.
Although her voice was weak, in this silent environment, it was no less than a bolt of lightning in everyone's ears. Everyone's eyes instantly looked at Xiao Ying. They were extremely nervous in their hearts. They were afraid that they would wake up the vengeful spirit that was resting inside.
Seeing that the hall was still very quiet, and none of the vengeful spirits had gotten up, they were alarmed for nothing.
"Be careful, don't make any more noise!" Gu Zheng said to Xiao Ying.
Little Ying nodded her head and instructed the kitten not to move recklessly.
"Bang"
At this moment, a sound rose from the wall, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"I am sorry!" Leng Xin said with an ugly expression. Because the one who made the sound was him.
Just now, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and wanted to support himself against the wall to rest. He didn't expect that his body would suddenly go out of control, and heavily hit the wall.
"Wuu Wuu"
A sound that sounded like weeping echoed in the air. The vengeful spirits in the back had already gotten up, and were now looking at them with eyes filled with resentment.
"Run quickly!"
Gu Zheng shouted at the stunned crowd, and everyone instantly sobered up.
Pang Chao and Zhou Xuan immediately held Leng Xin on one side, and ran forward. The others also did the same, and immediately sped up.
"Why! Why did you abandon us! "The vengeful spirits wailed in unison, and one after another, they chased after Gu Zheng.
In just a moment, half of the vengeful spirits in the hall had already flown over, and the vengeful spirits in the distant hall were also wailing and rushing over.
The other party's speed was very fast, and was almost at their back.
They didn't know how long this passage was, and they couldn't see the end of it. They could only run with all their might.
The vengeful spirits behind them squeezed into the passage, and almost filled all the gaps. They chased after them with wailing faces.
"I hate it, why did I have to be used as a sacrifice!"
The anguished wails entered their ears and even disturbed their minds.
Gu Zheng tried to stop them midway, but no matter how many magic arts he released, they were all pushed aside by the other party's strength and numbers. And Gu Zheng didn't have enough time to use those powerful magic arts.
Even if Gu Zheng wanted to forcibly scatter the other party, he would only be able to delay them by a little bit. That was because the other party's characteristics were the same as the burly man from before. If he couldn't find the other party's weakness, he couldn't injure them. He could only watch as the other party advanced.
"This way, Little Ying, take out the Nine-Layered Pagoda!"
A door suddenly appeared in front of them. Although it looked like a dead end, the vengeful spirits behind them were already infinitely close. At most, they would reach them in a dozen breaths of time, and they definitely wouldn't be able to escape this long passage.
Gu Zheng immediately led them over and had Little Ying take out the Nine-Layered Pagoda. No matter what, they had to block the other party for a while.
The instant they rushed in, a pagoda flew out of Little Ying's hand and rapidly grew in the air. Zhenghai blocked the entrance.
Bang, bang, bang!
Through a small gap, Gu Zheng could see the vengeful spirits using their sharp claws to scratch at the Nine-Layered Pagoda. But with the Buddhist light on top and the Nine-Layered Pagoda's hardness, the vengeful spirits wouldn't be able to break through for a while.
"Hold on a bit longer, I'll think of something!" Gu Zheng looked at Little Ying standing behind the Nine-Layered Pagoda with a solemn expression. She maintained the Nine-Layered Pagoda's state and encouraged her.
Little Ying nodded. Fortunately, there weren't many attacks coming from the passage, reducing the pressure by quite a bit. Even so, the Buddhist energy in her body was still being drained.
Pfft!
On the other side, Leng Xin was supported to lean against the wall. He couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"How is it? Did your old injury relapse? "Kun Yu asked from the side. At the same time, he took out a pill for Leng Xin to swallow.
"Yes, it's just that the vengeful spirits' Yin energy injured my internal organs again." Leng Xin nodded and said with a defeated expression.
"Don't be discouraged, we'll be fine." Pang Chao cheered from the side.
At this moment, Gu Zheng was observing this small room. He wanted to see if there was anything special about it.
It was very strange that this room appeared here. In the other passages, there didn't seem to be a room carved out from the side. But this space was completely empty. There was nothing at all. When they entered, they occupied one-third of the space. It was obvious that it was very small.
This made Gu Zheng a little discouraged. Instead, he thought about how to break through and leave this place.
"Young Master Gu, there's a mechanism here!" At this moment, Zhou Xuan, who had been deep in thought the moment he entered, suddenly shouted excitedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly moved quickly. From time to time, he would hit the wall and even chant a spell to activate something. In just a few breaths of time, with a rumbling vibration, the innermost wall actually began to fall down.
Soon, a room that was even bigger than the outside appeared in front of them.
In the four corners, there were four huge blue mirrors in the corners. A strange string fell from the wall above. Below it was a strange button. It seemed like something was hanging on it.
"Why do these four mirrors feel the same as the ones in Xiao Mao's room?" This movement also shocked Kun Yu. He didn't think that there was another mystery in this place. But when he saw the mirrors in the four corners, he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
When he said this, Gu Zheng also felt that it was a little familiar. Suddenly, he opened his hand and the small mirror appeared in Gu Zheng's hand.
Looking at the depression behind it, it seemed to fit perfectly with the button. It just needed to be changed back to its original appearance.
"I'll go up and take a look!" Gu Zheng looked at the pale Xiao Ying and walked up to the mirror in his hand. After changing the mirror back to its original appearance, he directly hung it up.
However, nothing happened. Looking at the swaying mirror, Gu Zheng fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, as he looked at the swaying mirror, he saw a flash of light. It seemed like there was something in the mirror below. When he went closer to take a look, there were four faint blue flames burning in the four mirrors.
Gu Zheng looked at the angle of the mirror and slightly adjusted the angle of the mirror. A blue light shot out from the inside and directly hit the mirror above.
Gu Zheng's heart moved. He did the same thing and adjusted the angle of the four mirrors.
After the last blue light shot into the air, the mirror above instantly lit up with an extremely bright light. An extremely strong blue flame rose from the surface of the mirror.
At the same time, on the ground, a magic array emerged from the ground. A special fluctuation rose in the air.
"Young Master, I can't hold on any longer!" Xiao Ying suddenly shouted.
"Hold on a little longer. This side will be done soon." Gu Zheng quickly said. At the same time, he stood in the middle of the magic array and held the two ends of the mirror firmly. He aimed the blue flame at the door and continued to speak.
"You guys hurry over. This mirror can repel them."
