Gu Zheng looked at You You in shock.
On the contrary, You You looked at Gu Zheng calmly, as if she was not surprised by the transformation of her body. Instead, she comforted Gu Zheng.
"Young Master Gu, don't worry. In fact, my grandfather is right. When we betrayed the Black Dragon Hero, we were already dead. That deep curse has already overdrawn our lives. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Now we are just returning to where we should go. I have already seen through this."
Gu Zheng looked at the village chief again. The village chief was still on the ground, mumbling incoherently. He had completely lost his mind, but his body was no different from You You's, slowly becoming transparent.
"Is there no hope?" Gu Zheng looked at the village chief, his heart aching slightly. He then asked with some hope.
He did not care about the others, but he really wanted to save this girl.
"No, we did something wrong and repaid kindness with ingratitude. This is our punishment. We still have to thank Young Master Gu for saving us. Otherwise, who knows how the Black Dragon Hero would have tortured us."
You You smiled. Her face bloomed like a flower, as if all her troubles had been thrown to the back of her mind. Her figure became more and more transparent. Through her body, one could see the scenery behind her.
"Young Master Gu, I know you are a good person. You don't have to worry about me. I only have one wish now. In my room, there is a small urn containing the Black Dragon Hero's ashes. Scatter them into the sea. Because he once said that he came from the sea, let the Black Dragon Hero return to his hometown with glory."
"In the middle of the village, there is a lantern hanging high on the osmanthus tree in the middle. After Black Dragon Hero leaves, bring back his small altar and light up the soul lantern as a token of our guilt towards him!"
You You looked at Gu Zheng in a daze, as if trying to imprint his face in her heart.
"I understand."
Gu Zheng wanted to say something, but did not know what to say. He sighed. Looking at the other party's eyes, he could not bear to be cruel. He reached out his hand, wanting to touch You You's cheek.
Youyou's body trembled slightly. She closed her eyes and tilted her head slightly forward, as if she wanted to feel Gu Zheng's warmth.
Just as Gu Zheng was about to touch her face, a drop of sparkling tear slid down from the corner of her eye like a resplendent pearl and fell to the ground. Then, she turned into a beam of light and completely disappeared before Gu Zheng, dissipating with the wind.
On the other hand, Gu Zheng's hand missed. He was so close to touching the other party that his entire arm froze on the spot.
He watched as the crystal-clear tears dripped onto the ground and merged into the soil, leaving no trace behind. Just like her life, it was short and resplendent.
Gu Zheng did not move for a long time. He could still vaguely hear Pomelo's cheerful laughter.
Half a day later, an indistinct sigh came from the sky. Only then did Gu Zheng put down his arm and look around.
The sea had calmed down. Everywhere around him were traces of a great battle. It was indescribably desolate.
Gu Zheng shook his head and suppressed the sadness in his heart. He could not do anything about You You's situation. Otherwise, how could he watch her disappear before his eyes?
But the first thing to do now was to fulfill You You You's last wish.
Gu Zheng did not rush back to the village. Instead, he walked back step by step along the path.
Although he had only known You You for two days, he could not forget You You's pure and lovely figure for a long time.
When he arrived at the village, it did not look much different from the day before. But he was afraid that after some time, it would become overgrown with weeds and eventually disappear from people's memories.
As for You You You's room, he was very clear. The village was not big, and You You You had introduced every room in detail.
When he passed by the middle of the village, he saw the spirit lantern. Tall lanterns hung from it, swaying in the wind. There was also a flint hanging by the side.
Gu Zheng stood there and looked for a while. He did not light the spirit lantern in advance. Instead, he went to a room not far away.
This was You You You's room. From the outside, it looked more exquisite than the other rooms. There was even a green vine hanging at the door. It was decorated with blooming flowers, emitting a delicate fragrance.
It was the fragrance of grass on You You You's body.
Pushing open the door, a simple girl's boudoir came into view before Gu Zheng's eyes.
"Young Master Gu, if only you were here for a few more days. I have some good things here that I haven't shown you yet."
The image of You You You complaining on the road appeared in front of his eyes. It was as if it was right in front of him. Although they had only known each other for a short time, it was deeply engraved in his mind. He would never forget it even in the future.
His only regret was that he could not save You You You.
Shaking his head, Gu Zheng smiled and looked into the room. At a glance, Gu Zheng saw a small jar placed on a conspicuous table. It also contained the ashes of the so-called Black Dragon Hero.
Gu Zheng took a deep breath and directly went forward to pick up the small jar. He flew out of You You You's room and landed by the sea in a short time.
This was a remnant of a wooden board on the surface of the sea. It was also a part of a ship.
Gu Zheng held the small jar. The surrounding sea breeze blew at his clothes, causing them to flutter.
"Black Dragon Hero, if you are fated, bring You You You You. Don't let her be bullied."
Gu Zheng knew that they had no chance of reincarnation. They could not even become lonely souls, but he still said this.
Perhaps he was just deceiving himself.
Gu Zheng opened the lid of the small jar and poured it into the sea below.
Wisps of white mist fell from the jar. When the sea breeze came, it only made the other party sway slightly. Then, a large amount of white mist quickly condensed in the air.
This caused Gu Zheng's eyes to narrow. However, the white fog seemed to be heavily damaged by some kind of power. The white fog seemed to have lost its gravity and fell onto the surface of the sea. It then fused with the water and drifted into the distance.
Gu Zheng looked around and did not find anything unusual. Perhaps it was the other party's last instinctive struggle.
After that, he did not ask any more questions. He did not look at the so-called ashes and left in a flash.
However, he did not realize that the white mist on the sea surface had become a white line. It was firmly on the surface of the sea as if it was guiding him.
Gu Zheng came to the Soul Sending Lamp. After that, he did not hesitate. He was ready to fulfill You You's wish and leave.
After all, he did not know where Pan Xuan was. He still had to find her.
A wisp of flame came out from Gu Zheng's fingertip. It then left and floated toward the Soul Sending Lamp. Soon, it lit the candle that had been prepared.
As the dim lantern lit up, the red flame filled the inside. On the lantern, one could see some strange patterns carved in an orderly manner.
Gu Zheng only looked at it curiously and was ready to leave.
However, before he could take a step, a red light fell from the lantern. It quickly formed a red door of light. Countless shadows of flames burned around it. It looked like a door of fire.
At the same time, the flint on the lantern collided with each other without anyone controlling it. It made a crisp sound.
This sound was like some kind of switch. In an instant, Gu Zheng stood in place.
Countless memories appeared in his mind one by one. He could not help but close his eyes.
The heavy injury on the platform, the conversation between Baldy and the others, and the Black Dragon under his instructions. He took the opportunity to kill the other party.
Everything flashed through his mind clearly and quickly until he jumped into the green whirlpool.
At this time, Gu Zheng suddenly opened his eyes. He finally understood everything.
So, this was the third level's test?
Could it be that he had to help the villagers kill the octopus or protect Pomelo from death?
He did not know. However, after thinking that this was just an illusion test, he felt a little uncomfortable. However, he also felt a little relieved.
Looking at the flashing red door of light, Gu Zheng's eyes flashed wildly. He did not walk in.
Because if he went in now, he would be leaving this place.
Meng Zhen might have already left this place. After all, he felt that the test here was not difficult. Especially when the memories were blocked, it was more like a test of one's temperament.
Gu Zheng reached into his chest and took out the core golden jade that the demon fox had been waiting for. He threw it at the light in front of him.
"Boom!"
The flames on the door of light shot up into the sky. It pierced through the forest like a pillar of light.
At this time, in the middle of the door of light, the core golden jade quietly floated in the middle. Rays of golden light constantly emitted from its body and entered the light.
Gu Zheng knew that this was the only way to open the passage. If he went out through the door of light, he would not be able to get out. He would only be trapped in the endless void. After all, his position had changed.
As time passed, the golden light in front of him became more and more intense. Even half of the door of light had been dyed golden. When the door of light completely turned golden, the passage would be opened.
Perhaps the demon fox was already waiting for him below.
Gu Zheng had already swallowed a pill. Although he did not suffer any injuries, he had consumed a lot of energy. Facing the opponent, he had to be alert. Victory or defeat depended on this.
"Looks like you really succeeded!"
At this time, beside Gu Zheng, there was a ripple in the air. Suddenly, a familiar figure jumped out. If it was not the black cat from before, who else could it be?
"Why are you here?" Gu Zheng looked at the other party and said in surprise.
"If it was in the past, I would not be able to enter. Only when you completely opened the door, I could come here. Since it is all for the demon fox, how can I not help?" The black cat looked at Gu Zheng with excitement in its eyes. There was a deep meaning in its eyes.
Gu Zheng only thought that the other party was excited and did not pay much attention to it. He even focused on his body to speed up his recovery. However, he still said.
"Good. Later on, you will go in with me. With your help, the chances of winning will be higher."
"You are not going in. I will go in alone." The black cat stuck out its delicate tongue and said to Gu Zheng.
"Hmm? What do you mean? "Gu Zheng opened his eyes. Hearing the other party's strange words, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
One must know that the other party could not defeat the demon fox. Otherwise, how could it hide until now?
"I said that I will go in alone. After all, you have already weakened the other party by a lot. You even absorbed all the green crystal that provided the other party with energy. The other party is not that scary. But before you go in, I need to borrow something from you."
The black cat walked in front of Gu Zheng and raised its head proudly. Its eyes were filled with disdain for Gu Zheng. With a victorious look, it pointed at Gu Zheng and said.
"What is it?"
At this moment, Gu Zheng was greatly alarmed. However, he wasn't afraid of it. A faint golden light could be seen in his hand.
But what kind of scheme was it? He just had to do it.
"That is your body!"
How could the black cat not know what Gu Zheng was doing? Then, it pointed at Gu Zheng and the latter suddenly found himself unable to move.
"You did something to the pill."
Gu Zheng realized that he was like a puppet. Other than his mouth and eyelids that could still move, the rest was like a wooden sculpture. He could not move at all.
After thinking about it, it seemed that only the last pill that the other party threw over had a problem. However, didn't Shan Long check that there was no problem?
"You are right. But why didn't I tell you? But if it wasn't for my pill, how could you pass through? Speaking of which, you should thank me. At least I let you live for a while longer."
The black cat swung its tail and a black dagger was already wrapped in it.
"You …"
Gu Zheng's body was circulating. He wanted to quickly break the shackles in his body. As long as he was given a little more time, he could completely restore the control circle in his body.
"Stop struggling. Now that the passageway has been opened, your fate is as such. It's not a loss for you to fall into my hands. After investing so much, I've finally reaped some benefits. I have to admit that that person has helped me quite a bit. Speaking of which, I still have to thank you for breaking through all the obstacles to get here. It's really not easy. I can't even guarantee that I'll be able to make it here. I've decided, after I kill that demon fox, I'll definitely set up a big monument for you.
How could the black cat not know what Gu Zheng was doing? It looked at the light door behind it. At this moment, it had completely occupied the golden light. Without hesitation, it swung its tail and a black light flew out.
"Ugh!"
Gu Zheng felt a sudden pain in his chest. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the black dagger had pierced into his chest. His entire mind started to become confused. Everything in front of him quickly turned dark.
"It ended just like that?"
With the last doubt in his mind, Gu Zheng's mind fell into darkness.
"Bang!"
Gu Zheng's weak body fell backward and directly fell onto the soil covered with withered leaves.
The black cat spun around in satisfaction. But soon, it landed on the dagger. Its entire body turned into a pool of black water and merged into it.
In the next moment, the dagger slowly continued to penetrate into his body. On his body, where the dagger originally was, there wasn't a trace of a wound.
After half a cup of tea's time, Gu Zheng's originally closed eyes suddenly opened. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then, his body stood up straight again.
"Why does this body feel a little stiff? Let me see what he has! "
At this moment, the black cat had completely occupied Gu Zheng's body. It didn't expect things to go so smoothly. The other party didn't even have a trace of resistance. It was as if the other party had completely died and surrendered to it.
Although he had some doubts, now wasn't the time to think about it.
But after taking a look at the light circle, he started to feel around.
"Why are there so many wood shavings? Is this also made of wood? Why are they all? It's so strange. The other party doesn't look like it! "
The black cat controlled its body and began to feel around. Soon, it found a pile of small things made of wood. Even the bottle hanging on its waist turned into wood at the moment of contact. It was as if it was just a camouflage.
"Forget it. Anyway, it doesn't matter if there is or not. It's good enough that the other party can come here. Maybe he has already used everything. Master Demon Fox, the pain you gave me, I remember it a thousand times. Don't worry, I'm coming!"
Soon, the black cat threw away everything on its body. Except for the wood, there were still wood shavings. But it didn't care. It couldn't use the other party's things. It looked at the light door in front of it and then said viciously.
As soon as its voice fell, it rushed into the light door. The golden jade in the center was also grabbed by it and rushed in together.
Without the support of the golden jade, the golden light in the light door slowly faded. But before it completely faded, the soul sending light above had already extinguished. The light door below also disappeared from the ground at the same time.
Peace was restored here again.
After a long time, on the surface of the sea where the black dragon hero poured the ashes, layers of ripples kept flashing. Following the marked direct line, it walked towards the center of the sea.
.....
"Heavenly King!"
"Heavenly King!"
In a cave, there were only a few bonfires burning. However, the flames above were not ordinary flames. Instead, they were silver flames. However, they lit up the entire cave, leaving no gaps.
A person slowly walked over. At the entrance, there were two tall silver ghost generals holding silver long swords. They were firmly guarding the entrance of a hall. Their eyes were constantly scanning every corner of the cave. They didn't relax at all. They were very dedicated.
When they saw him coming, they immediately stood up and shouted almost at the same time.
"Is there any problem inside?"
"Heavenly King, don't worry. No one dares to come near here." The silver ghost general on the left immediately said.
This place was deep in King City. It was almost impossible for outsiders to come here. Not to mention, this was the forbidden area of the forbidden area. No matter who came here, without the accompaniment of a Heavenly King, they would all be killed on the spot.
"That's good. Keep a close watch here." Wen Tianhou nodded with satisfaction and then said again.
"Yes!"
"Farewell, Heavenly King!"
Inside the hall they were guarding.
The whole store was pitch black. There was only an altar in the middle. There was a small figure on it.
Below the altar, countless black fog kept coming out. It washed over the figure like a waterfall. Almost every breath, there would be a strong explosion. Each time it washed over, although most of it failed, there would still be some that entered the figure's body.
"Black Prison … Selfless … Original Heart!"
Every time the fog washed over, the small figure's face would show a painful expression. However, she still spat it out with difficulty.
In her hand, there was a small piece of paper. It was shining with golden light. As the characters of the figure lit up, the corresponding position on it would be lit up.
Every time a character was lit up, it would turn into a golden light and enter the figure's brain.
More than half of the characters on it had disappeared.
After a wave of impact, there was a short moment of respite. The figure's face showed a determined expression.
"Young Master … must … must … persevere."
"Virtue … Prisoner … Zong …"
