"Da Da Da"
The crisp sound of footsteps could be heard coming from the corridor. A figure was walking in the corridor unhurriedly.
As the figure passed by, the dark corridor also lit up with a red light.
Seeing that the green jade in his hand had completely disappeared, Gu Zheng took out a green jade and grabbed it, letting the golden jade absorb its energy, causing a green light to appear around his body.
This was the last piece of green jade in his hand, killing ghosts along the way consumed a lot, and most of it was absorbed by the golden jade.
Seeing that there were some lights in front of him, Gu Zheng slowed down his footsteps. After walking to the crossroads, he thought carefully, then turned around and walked to the right.
Although all the way here were lit flowers, he knew that there were still roads in other places that he had not been to before.
He had been in this place for a full month, and now he was already familiar with the road, how to avoid those ghosts.
In fact, all the ghost women and crying women were killed by him, and the meatball and the silent creature were too few in number. Anyway, so far, he felt that there were at most two here, and he had not encountered them many times.
Now, he had not seen any ghosts for three days, of course, all the green jade in the place where he passed by were collected.
After careful calculation, there were at least a few hundred green jades, all of which were swallowed by the two bottomless golden jades, and he could not see how many more could be swallowed.
This place was not very big, and now there were fewer and fewer places that had not been explored. Although Gu Zheng had not found a way to leave this place and found the core of the other party, it would only take a few days for him to search all the corners, and then he would naturally find the other party's traces.
Gu Zheng took the green jade in front of him in his hand, and then lit the flower next to it. Just as he was about to leave, his ears suddenly moved, and then he looked around blankly.
At this moment, a beautiful and moving song faintly entered the other party's ears, making him have an impulse to get closer and listen.
Suppressing the sudden thought in his heart, Gu Zheng continued to search in the dark area.
The voice was ethereal, and there was no way to tell where it came from. Before, he had encountered this indescribable beautiful voice, but it disappeared quickly, and he did not pay much attention to it.
In his opinion, it was about the same as before, disappearing very quickly.
However, Gu Zheng was wrong this time. After a long time, not only did the beautiful sound not disappear, but it also seemed to be getting closer and closer. This made Gu Zheng feel that something was wrong.
Gu Zheng looked around, trying hard to figure out where the voice came from, but he failed again. However, a faint sense of uneasiness rose in his heart, as if there was an inexplicable danger hidden in the voice.
Looking at the darkness ahead, Gu Zheng hesitated for a moment before turning around to leave.
From his point of view, there seemed to be a risk in this location. Even if it was very likely that there was a core golden jade here, he still wanted to explore the other places that were left behind. It wouldn't be too late to come back at the end.
However, as he walked further away, the sound did not weaken. Instead, it grew louder and louder. It was as if he was rushing towards the other party.
Gu Zheng frowned. Then, he stopped and looked ahead with some hesitation.
That was the only way to leave this place. There didn't seem to be any other passageways.
He was stunned, but the mysterious creature wasn't. The voice was still slowly approaching him.
Gu Zheng slowly pushed into the room next to him. At the same time, he grabbed a white crystal and held his breath, waiting for the other party to pass by.
He didn't go up. Instead, he stood in the middle of the room. Although he didn't know what the other party was, if he could avoid it, he would avoid it. There was no benefit in fighting with the other party.
The voice was getting closer and closer, as if the other party was already here. The voice became more and more beautiful, constantly attracting Gu Zheng to come closer.
However, it didn't confuse Gu Zheng and make him hallucinate.
"It's here!"
Gu Zheng looked through the window. Under the red light, a slender and long shadow had already appeared on the side of the wooden wall, allowing him to see it clearly.
However, the somewhat disproportionate figure made it impossible for him to distinguish the other party's body. The head that had obviously swelled to three times its original size and the squirming thing next to it was very strange.
The voice didn't change. The other party didn't seem to have noticed him. Gu Zheng silently stood there. Even the core of his Golden Jade was pressed against his chest, just in case.
Time ticked by. Gu Zheng discovered that the figure wasn't moving. It was just standing there. The voice continued to spread in all directions. Those sturdy wooden walls seemed to be unable to block out the sound.
This made Gu Zheng feel a bit strange. Why was the other party still here? If it had noticed him, why didn't it come in? If it hadn't noticed him, why didn't it leave?
Doubts constantly appeared in his mind. However, he also didn't know what was going on. He could only wait patiently. Perhaps the other party had just stopped temporarily.
"Tap tap tap."
A trace of vibration came from the distance. It was rapidly approaching. The movement of the meatball was very big, and Gu Zheng instantly recognized it.
"Hehe."
Before he could figure out why the meatball had also come over, a light chuckle entered Gu Zheng's ears. His eyes also turned slightly, but the effect was very weak. It was as if he had just entered the boundary of the other party's magic.
"Could it be that the other party is using his voice to attract the ghosts?"
This thought suddenly appeared in Gu Zheng's mind. After hearing the familiar sound of a bell from inside, he became even more certain.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng didn't hesitate anymore. He directly opened the door in front of him and prepared to leave. He couldn't let the other party surround him.
A monster floating in the air appeared in front of him. It had the body of an ordinary person and was wearing a simple green robe. If it weren't for the head that was several times larger, the thousands of red eyes that were densely packed together, and the large mouth that was constantly opening and closing, it really would have looked like countless human faces gathered together.
The moment Gu Zheng came out, the monster also turned its body to face him. Dozens of eyes stared straight at him, revealing different meanings. This made his scalp tingle.
However, this monster didn't have any intention of attacking Gu Zheng. It just stood there and looked at him.
Seeing this, he immediately ran towards the exit. He didn't know if it was a complete dead end, but there was no other way to reach this area.
"Hehe!"
The dizziness in front of Gu Zheng's eyes became even more severe. However, at this moment, the core golden jade in his arms lit up again. Waves of warmth rushed up and dispelled his hallucinations.
Gu Zheng finally relaxed. The core golden jade didn't help him just now, so he was still a bit worried. However, when he thought about how it had only appeared at the end, he bet that it would spontaneously appear when he was under attack. It seemed that he had made the right bet.
He took this opportunity to rush forward, wanting to leave this place as quickly as possible.
However, just as he raised his speed, his body suddenly stopped. He then turned around and quickly flew back inside.
Because the sound of the meatball had already appeared in front of him, he didn't have time to go out. Otherwise, he would have to face it head-on.
There was no need to think about the result. He would definitely be smashed to pieces by it.
Gu Zheng, who had just returned, quickly dashed through the hall. When he saw that the Thousand Eyed Devil was still facing him, he was filled with anger. He had been wandering around for so long without encountering the Thousand Eyed Devil. In the end, he was coincidentally blocked by the Thousand Eyed Devil.
Whoosh!
As he passed by, Gu Zheng casually waved his hand, and a golden figure instantly emerged from his hand, flying straight towards the Thousand Eyed Devil not far away from him. His figure did not stop, and continued to charge forward. Since he could not avoid these monsters, he would first plunder everything inside before thinking of a way to get out.
He hadn't found too many high-grade treasures in this place, but he did have a few white crystals. Although they wouldn't be affected that much, it would be easier to shake them off if he used them well.
Even as he quickly left, Gu Zheng still turned his head slightly. He wanted to see what kind of defense the Thousand Eyed Devil would have against his attack.
However, what shocked him was that his attack actually passed through its body as if it were just an illusion. It directly hit the wooden wall, and it wasn't injured at all.
All of the Thousand Eyed Devil's eyes narrowed. At the same time, all of its mouths cracked open as if it was mocking Gu Zheng. However, the singing continued to come from its body. It was unknown how it could sing such a moving melody.
Ding ling!
In front of Gu Zheng, a red-robed ghost woman had already charged over. The bell in her hand had transformed into a bronze sword. There was a small string of bells hanging from the sword's hilt that was currently ringing.
The bells in each of the ghost women's hands were different, and the things they transformed into were also different. It was also quite shocking. However, he had already encountered this kind of ghost woman before. The sound of her bells could cause quite a bit of obstruction.
Now that he had the golden jade core, he could completely ignore her interference. Seeing that she had blocked the only path, Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and viciously slashed at her.
Of course, the ghost woman wouldn't back down. She directly charged at Gu Zheng's attack, seemingly wanting to beat back Gu Zheng's attack.
Unfortunately, this was also her first time fighting with Gu Zheng. She didn't know that all of her companions had already died, so she didn't know how terrifying he was. The two weapons crossed in the air.
Clang! A crisp sound rang out.
The weapon in the ghost woman's hand broke like a praying mantis trying to block its arm. It couldn't block the weapon above it at all, and it was split in half by the golden light. It turned into a black fog and followed its companion. Even in death, it didn't know why its enemy was so powerful.
Gu Zheng didn't ask about this because the meatball behind him had already rushed up. It entered the corridor from the side and quickly ran to the side.
After running for a few steps, he felt a figure rush up from behind him. It didn't stop at all as it rushed into the room in front of him. Immediately, the sound of something breaking could be heard.
Gu Zheng took this opportunity to run forwards. He raised the green jades in his hand and used their faint light to illuminate the path ahead.
The flowers that he passed by also lit up without hesitation. As for whether it was convenient or not, he didn't care. There was only one path, so he didn't have to worry about running into a fork.
Very soon, a familiar green jade appeared in front of him. He picked it up without hesitation and continued onwards. A ghost woman had been lured out, and under normal circumstances, there wouldn't be any other ghosts.
The singing in his ears had clearly slowed down, and the ghost woman had dared to come over. The soundless ghost's laughter still sounded out from time to time, but it had no effect on him at all.
Gu Zheng turned along the path again, and his body suddenly froze. However, he quickly ran forwards again. There was another green jade in the room. The green light was too eye-catching in the darkness, and it was impossible not to notice it.
The reason why Gu Zheng had been stunned was because at the end of the path, there was a large door. It was about the size of a city gate, and it was pitch black. Outside, he could vaguely see that it was shrouded in black fog, making it look like a massive palace.
Because the door wasn't closed, it was brightly lit inside. In the middle of the room, there was a large jade platform, and there was only one thing on it.
It was a piece of golden jade!
Even though Gu Zheng couldn't see if the golden jade was the core golden jade, he was sure that it was. After all, there wasn't a single piece of golden jade outside. So it was hidden here.
The only pity was that the ghosts behind him were still following him. Otherwise, he could have slowly probed to see if there were any guards inside.
After opening the room and taking out the green jade, Zhao Fu had the golden jade continue to absorb it while he ran towards the palace.
Since he was here, he might as well go in and take a look. If he could easily take away the golden jade, that would save him a lot of trouble. Even if there were defenses and he couldn't open them right away, he had to gather all of the ghosts together in order to maximize the power of the white crystal. If he used them one by one, it would be quite troublesome if he encountered anything outside.
Soon, Gu Zheng rushed into the palace. The palace was quite empty, and apart from the jade platform and a few stone pillars, there was nothing else. He couldn't see any enemies either.
Even the dazzling golden light was emitted by the golden foil-like walls of the main hall.
However, he didn't walk towards the golden jade. Instead, he turned around and waved his hand. Balls of golden light continuously condensed in his hand, turning into a thick fog that floated towards the door in front of him.
In just a few breaths of time, the meatball's figure had just appeared at the end, and the golden mist had already completely covered the door like a thin veil.
Through the golden fog, one could see the scenery outside, and the people outside could also see inside.
Gu Zheng couldn't do anything about it. Who knew that the door would be so big? At first, he had thought that after reaching the end, he would find a room to block the other party outside. Now, it seemed that this wasn't necessarily the case.
However, the biggest danger was this meatball. If he couldn't deal with it, he could just directly dodge it. The Thousand Eyed Devil wouldn't attack him, so the soundless ghosts wouldn't be able to confuse him. He just hoped that the other party didn't have any more tricks up his sleeve.
Looking at the golden jade behind him, Zhao Fu felt that it was a pity that he didn't have time to take a look. He would come back after leaving this place and all the ghosts had left.
After making up his mind, Gu Zheng paid attention to the meatball. At the same time, he prepared to leave at any time. At the same time, he also paid attention to the palace's surroundings in case an enemy popped out of nowhere.
It was best to be careful!
Gu Zheng saw that the meatball was already speeding towards him, and his body tensed up. It was best to be prepared at any time.
Bang!
Just as the meatball was about to reach them, it forcibly stopped itself from moving. Instead, it stumbled and knocked open the door of the room next to it, and rushed over.
This made Gu Zheng very confused. He didn't know why the other party was doing this. He quickly looked around and didn't see any enemies in the palace. Could it be that the other party didn't dare to come here?
As Gu Zheng pondered, the figure of the Thousand Eyed Devil appeared at the end of the corridor. It walked over with a beautiful singing voice.
Behind it was a monster that he had never seen before. It was a soundless ghost. He couldn't help but look over curiously. Although he had seen it before, Gu Zheng had stayed away from it as soon as it appeared, so he hadn't actually seen what it looked like.
The other party's figure was like an old man with half a hunchback, but it was at least twice as large. The soles of its feet were like toes on the ground, and its slender upper limbs dangled in the air, swaying left and right. It looked like it had no strength at all.
The most peculiar thing was its neck, which was a full two feet long. Although Gu Zheng had called it a faceless ghost, he had never seen it before. In reality, it still had a nose and a face, but it looked a bit strange.
Two pairs of bright silver eyes stood out against its pitch-black skin. It weakly followed behind the Thousand Eyed Devil, looking like a follower. Or rather, it looked more like a strange person with a stretched neck.
However, as the other party opened its mouth, a soft whisper once again appeared in Gu Zheng's ears, but it didn't affect Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng was already looking at them. He felt that the meatball next to him was about to struggle out, so he was prepared to go out.
But to his surprise, the Thousand Eyed Devil and the hunchback freak stopped halfway. The meatball that crawled out of the room, under Gu Zheng's astonished gaze, walked toward the Thousand Eyed Devil behind it, and quickly stopped there.
The three ghosts stared at Gu Zheng inside and didn't move. They just looked at him, but Gu Zheng could tell from their somewhat fearful gazes that they were afraid of this place.
"Are they afraid of this place?"
Gu Zheng looked back at the hall again. There was no danger at all. It seemed like there was only the golden jade in the middle. Perhaps the other party was afraid of that place. After all, that thing was a manifestation of the power of this place.
Gu Zheng turned his head and looked in the direction of the meatball, but found that it had actually started to leave. It quickly turned a corner and disappeared from his sight.
Although he was surprised that the other party had taken the initiative to leave, Gu Zheng wasn't going to foolishly go out. No matter what, at least he didn't have to try so hard to avoid them. Now, he just had to wait for a while. When the other party left, he would go out.
However, before that, Gu Zheng had one more thing to do.
Gu Zheng turned around and looked at the jade platform in the middle. The golden jade was floating in mid-air.
It was like a flawless young girl had appeared in front of him. There were no enemies, nor were there any defenses. It was as if he could easily grab it with just a stretch of his hand.
What he needed to do now was to take away this golden jade. This was one of his goals.
