"Ah!"
At the same time that the golden mask landed on the other party's body, a piercing scream also came from the other party's mouth.
Gu Zheng was shocked. He watched as the other party collapsed to the ground in pain. She screamed in pain and squirmed on the ground as if she was suffering extreme torture, but she was unable to help at all.
She had only laid down for a few breaths of time when Gu Zheng suddenly heard the sound of a bell. The ghost girl seemed to have been affected by the loud shout and attracted the other ghost girls who had left to come over.
Gu Zheng did not say anything and ran towards the corner again to avoid being discovered by the other party. As for this side, he could not care less.
Just as he hid his body, he saw that the ghost woman had already come out of the passage and was walking towards that side.
At this time, the ghost woman who had asked Gu Zheng for help was still lying on the ground, weakly moaning. Her body was wrapped in a layer of faint golden light, and it seemed that she was undergoing some changes.
The ghost woman outside came to her outside and looked at the sound inside as if she was observing something. She kept shaking the bell in her hand, neither leaving nor going in.
The golden light on the ghost woman's body became dimmer and dimmer. After half a day, she stood up from the ground with some difficulty. She waved the bell in her hand and began to ring.
At this time, the ghost woman in front of him seemed to have confirmed the other party's identity. Only then did she turn back along the path she had come from.
After the other party had completely left, Gu Zheng rushed in front of the other party. He wanted to see if there were any changes in the other party and what was going on.
To his disappointment, the other party did not seem to have changed much. Other than the mask on her face turning golden, and the outline of the other party's face was revealed. At least he could clearly see that it was a woman's silhouette, and the other party's red eyes, there were not many changes. However, he still asked.
"How do you feel now? Can you leave this place? "
The ghost woman nodded. Although she was still very stiff, compared to before, she was clearly no longer in the state of a puppet. At least, she could move on her own.
Then, the ghost woman shook the bell in her hand, and a golden light shot out from it, landing directly on the cage door in front of her. In an instant, a gap appeared on it.
Such a change startled Gu Zheng, but he didn't show it on his face. He only took a step to the side and waited to see what the other party would do next.
When the ghost girl came out, she nodded at Gu Zheng again, as if indicating for him to follow her. Then, she walked towards the tunnel.
Seeing that the other party was temporarily unable to speak, Gu Zheng followed behind him. He did not know what the other party meant or where he was going, but it seemed like he would be able to get out of here.
However, he had no other choice at the moment. It could be said that he was trying everything he could.
The ghost woman quickly brought Gu Zheng to the wooden door that couldn't be opened. She tapped the bell in her hand again, and another golden light appeared. Then, the entire wooden door turned into a golden ripple that rippled on the surface of the door like a water wave.
Gu Zheng was still thinking about this. It was similar to the way Ghost Woman had entered, but the other party was a bloody light. She lifted her foot and walked towards the wooden door, disappearing before him.
He quickly followed her and also went through the wooden door. However, he felt as if he was passing through a layer of water, and he passed through it effortlessly.
At the same time, before Gu Zheng could look around, a bell sounded in front of him. At the same time, he discovered that his body was also flashing with a layer of golden light. Following this, he saw a ghost woman in front of him looking over. She didn't even ring the bell in her hand, just like a sentinel.
The Ghost Girl in front raised the bell in her hand and walked forward while ringing it. Gu Zheng followed behind her with some trepidation, continuing to walk along the corridor.
There were small rooms on the side, and along the way, there were at least ten ghost women standing there quietly, as if they were waiting for orders before moving.
Soon, the two of them left this area, and the wooden planks on the side of the mountain revealed themselves again. They continued to walk towards the belly of the mountain.
Because of the existence of the ghost women, Gu Zheng did not dare to speak at all to avoid attracting their attention. Now that they were alone, he could not help but speak.
"Where are we going? Do you want to leave this place together? "
However, the ghost woman in front of him did not even stop, and the bell in her hand continued to ring as she led the way.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng could only follow behind. After all, with the ghost woman's protection, he was at least safe. Those ghosts were unable to identify him, and it was as if he was one of them.
After walking for half a day, they had already left that place. In any case, he did not know where exactly they were. They were now walking on a cliff, and they were walking up. However, below them, they could already see a huge stone bridge that connected to the lonely peak on the other side. It seemed that the ghost woman was pulling them out of this place.
Thinking about this, Gu Zheng felt a lot more relieved. Although he had lost Jin Yu, at least he had successfully left that damned place. If he had known that it was a trap, he would not have taken Jin Yu, causing him to be in such a sorry state.
When Gu Zheng reached the top, he was shocked to see that there was a cave on the other side of the stone bridge. There were no ghosts inside, only a familiar golden circle on the red wooden table.
This path was not yet finished, and he could still continue to walk up. He did not know if the end of this path would lead to the exit of this mountain.
The ghost woman stood at the end of the bridge and moved aside to make a path for Gu Zheng to take it.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng also directly walked toward the cave. Looking at the other party's meaning, the Jin Yu seemed to be more important. Otherwise, she would not have made him come here.
After crossing the stone bridge, Gu Zheng did not hesitate. He grabbed the Jin Yu and retreated outside.
Even if it was just a simple glance, Gu Zheng found that this Jin Yu was exactly the same as the one in the attic. It was just a little bit different from the one in the attic.
Just as Gu Zheng quickly walked over the stone bridge, the entire stone bridge suddenly shook, causing Gu Zheng, who was on top of it, to suddenly shake and almost fall down.
Gu Zheng felt a lingering fear in his heart. After stabilizing his body, he prepared to speed up. However, a huge rock had already fallen from the sky, bringing with it a loud whistling sound as it fell to the front of the stone bridge.
Looking up, Gu Zheng's expression changed drastically. He sped up and flew forward, wanting to rush over before the other party landed. As long as the other party's speed was faster, he could rush over.
However, at this moment, the ghost woman in front of him raised her hand, and a golden light suddenly shot out from her bell, directly landing in front of the stone bridge.
"Crash!"
Countless stones jumped up from above, and Gu Zheng stopped at the stone bridge at the same time. He did not expect the ghost woman to make a move at this time and completely destroy the stone bridge, making it impossible for him to pass.
"Why?!"
Gu Zheng did not understand the other party's intention at all, so he could only shout at the other party. Then, as the stone bridge collapsed, his entire body began to fall down. From the height they were walking, falling to the ground would be certain death.
He futilely tried to grab something in the air, and even black ribbons shot out from his body. However, the speed of his fall was too fast, and they couldn't support his body at all. After drawing out an extremely long arc in the air, they broke one after another, and only slightly slowed down the speed of his fall.
Looking at the surrounding stones, Gu Zheng could only lean behind a huge stone and see if there was a chance when he looked down.
Gu Zheng, who was hiding behind the rock, didn't see that the falling rock only left a few ripples in the air when it fell to the ground. Suddenly, all of it disappeared.
When the ghost woman saw Gu Zheng fall, the red light in her eyes intensified. Even the golden mask was faintly stained with a layer of red light. The bell in her hand was also thrown down, and she quickly chased after Gu Zheng's back.
"Ka Ka"
A hair-raising sound rose from her hand, and a white paper knife was in her hand. The sound was the trace of her fingernails scratching it. Every time she scratched it, a layer of white light would spread from it like water ripples to the surroundings, and at the same time, a murderous aura was emitted from her body.
And naturally, her figure was also there. Then, a woman in white clothes covered in blood appeared on the spot. However, she was still wearing a golden mask, so people could not see her face clearly.
At this moment, she looked at Gu Zheng who had disappeared, and countless black blood oozed out of her body. In the blink of an eye, a puddle formed under her feet. Then, her figure suddenly descended and disappeared in the black blood.
At the top of this mountain, which could be said to be the peak of this mountain, there was a huge building complex. A group of demon souls were entrenched and wandering inside. Gu Zheng had seen some of them before, and some he had not seen before.
Through here, he could see a boundless black ocean in the distance. In the middle of the ocean, there was a huge red ship carrying a huge wooden palace. There was no space on the surface of the sea. Wait.
And at the top of the mountain, there was a transparent cableway connecting the opposite side. It could go straight from here to there.
And even further away, he could vaguely see an even taller mountain peak. It stopped there alone, and he could vaguely see the candlelight on the mountain peak.
Just as those ghosts were fulfilling their duties, a pool of black blood appeared out of thin air in the middle. Then, a woman in white clothes slowly floated out from below.
When the surrounding ghosts saw this scene, their bells suddenly rang. Those ghost girls seemed to have seen something terrifying and scrambled to escape. Even the meatball also rolled into a ball and escaped into the distance.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
The sound of fingernails scratching the paper knife rang out again, and then a low voice came from the woman in white.
After a while, the woman in white clothes, who was still pure white and flawless, had already arrived on the transparent cableway. Looking at the ship in the distance, there was not a single ghost that could move on the mountain peak. They had all disappeared.
The red light in her eyes flashed again, and the golden mask also flashed with a golden light. Then, she slashed at the other party.
"Boom!"
Just as she was halfway there, on the mountain peak in the distance, there was a muffled bang. A green light streaked across the sky and rushed toward her.
Seeing this, the woman in white suddenly stopped in mid-air. Then, she threw the paper knife in her hand forward. It was not aimed at the green light, but disappeared into the air.
And then, she was wrapped up by the green light that followed, turning into a sparkling green crystal. Then, she fell from the sky into the black water. Following the undulating waves, she slowly floated toward the mountain peak.
And in the red wooden house, in a hidden room, on the red table, there was still a golden jade on it. If one looked carefully, that golden jade still had faint patterns on it. It was almost the same as the thing Gu Zheng had obtained in the attic.
"Bang!"
A white paper knife appeared from the void and heavily stabbed into the red table. Half of its body was buried in it.
And next to the table, a woman in white clothes was sleeping on it. Except for the fact that there was no blood on her body, she was dressed exactly the same as the woman in white who had been sealed. At this moment, she was awakened by the huge commotion. She slowly raised her head and looked toward the direction of the sound.
It was a white face without any facial features. The head turned towards the paper-folding knife in front of her. She stretched out her pale hand and grabbed the paper-folding knife. Then, she slowly walked out from the red table.
Behind her, the golden jade also slowly floated out. Finally, it landed on her forehead. A golden light flashed, and a golden mask slowly appeared on her face.
The red wooden door in front of her slowly opened with a creak, revealing all the candles that had been lit outside.
A strange smile appeared on the mask. The woman in white clothes gently slashed forward with the paper knife in her hand. All the candles in the entire wooden hall were swept by a force. The light dissipated, and even the candlesticks disappeared. The entire wooden hall fell into a state of absolute darkness.
The ghosts that were wandering inside also trembled in unison. It was as if a great disaster was about to befall them. However, they quickly returned to normal.
The woman in white clothes slowly walked outside with the paper knife in her hand. She disappeared into the darkness. Only the sound of her fingernails scratching could be heard in the darkness.
Of course, Gu Zheng didn't know all of this. In midair, he had already abandoned his annoyance and didn't have the time to complain about the ghost girl who "repaid kindness with ingratitude". He was still calculating the speed of his descent.
Listening to the echo in his ears, he was prepared to fight to the death at the bottom. Suddenly, his body loosened and he peeled off from the stone. He panicked and realized that he was standing in a corridor.
"Crash!"
In the distance, there was a small waterfall. Gu Zheng looked at his body and some rocks around him. Only then did he realize that he had misunderstood the other party.
Perhaps there was a passage below, but the other party couldn't speak at all. The process of descending was too frightening. The other party even took the initiative to shoot him down and let him fall, causing him to misunderstand.
"Ding ling ling"
Gu Zheng had just calmed down when something fell from the sky again. It spun a few times on the ground and made a crisp sound.
His heart suddenly tightened. He turned his head and looked back. His eyes revealed a look of astonishment. Wasn't that the bell in the ghost girl's hand? Why did it also fall? It seemed like it was specially given to him.
Gu Zheng stepped forward and picked up the bell on the ground. It felt cold to the touch. This bell felt like a weapon. It was cold and didn't have any dark aura. It was as if it had been completely erased.
"Ding dang"
Gu Zheng waved the bell in his hand to test the waters. Following that, a clear ringing sound came from above.
"Kacha" A soft sound was heard. Following the explosion of a bell on the bell tree, a blood-red light emerged from it. It traveled along Gu Zheng's arm and quickly spread to his entire body. Soon, a faint layer of blood-red light enveloped him.
Feeling that there was nothing different about his body, Gu Zheng was a little puzzled at first. Then, a look of joy appeared on his face. He looked at the bell in front of him with some pity. This thing should have helped him hide his body.
There were originally six of these things. There was only one at the bottom, and there was one more at the top.
There were two at the top, and one of the three in the third row was missing. The last row, which had the most four, was also missing. It was obvious that they had been removed by the other party.
Now, he had actually wasted one. If he had known, he wouldn't have waved it.
He had to make use of this opportunity to leave this place quickly. He didn't know how long he could last this time. Could he really deceive all the ghosts?
He was now in a passageway. In front of him was a waterfall. He couldn't see where it led to, but after thinking for a moment, he strode forward.
There was no other reason. It was just his intuition.
After crossing the stream, he continued to walk along the passageway. However, he could clearly feel that he was continuing to advance into the belly of the mountain. However, what surprised him was that the candlelight that was everywhere was obviously much less now.
Especially in the passageway in front of him, there was only one candlelight at a distance. In the middle of the passageway, there was a large area of emptiness. It was pitch-black, and the atmosphere felt different. It was as if there was a terrifying existence in front of him.
Gu Zheng could also feel that something was wrong. However, the more it was so, the more he felt that he was walking on the right path. In addition, the red light on his body gave him more courage. He directly walked down the passageway.
What he didn't expect was that in this dark place, the red light on his body was actually able to provide a weak light. It could only barely illuminate a step in front of him. In reality, it wasn't very useful. It could only be considered better than nothing.
After following this path for two turns, Gu Zheng suddenly stopped. That was because the entire passageway in front of him was completely pitch-black. At the end of the path, a silver door flickered with light, illuminating half of the passageway. However, the pitch-black parts were even more terrifying.
And in front of the silver door, there was a black figure lying on the ground. It was like a corpse, lying there motionless.
Gu Zheng felt that this figure was somewhat familiar. It was as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Gu Zheng once again took a step forward, carefully approaching that figure. The closer he got, the stronger the impression Gu Zheng had of that figure.
"It's that Leopard Head!"
Gu Zheng's mind suddenly flashed with that figure. He suddenly recalled his identity. After Zhou Bo's death, he had been surprised that Leopard Head had gone missing. However, at that time, he had been in a hurry to enter and hadn't investigated further. He hadn't expected to meet him here.
"Wu!"
At this moment, a sound that sounded like crying and yet wasn't crying came from the distance. Gu Zheng immediately stopped and looked forward. A feeling of apprehension rose from the bottom of his heart. It was as if something was about to come out.
