Chapter 1342
Gu Zheng listened to what the other party said and felt the hope in his eyes. He did not speak, but pondered.
"Senior, we will never lie. We can swear to God that once you help us and lift our restrictions, it also means that we betrayed them, and they will never bypass us."
Seeing that Gu Zheng was still unmoved, the sixth sister over there also became anxious and said to him quickly.
Gu Zheng still didn't reply, seemingly still deep in thought.
"Senior, you didn't say you wanted to know about them. Although we don't know much, we still know a few things. We can only tell them if our restrictions are lifted." The second child said anxiously, obviously not wanting to give up the little hope in front of him.
Gu Zheng glanced at him sideways and sneered in his heart. For such a simple question, Gu Zheng didn't even bother to answer him.
"Second brother, stop talking." The eldest brother immediately interrupted the second brother and said with a solemn expression.
"Senior, what conditions do you have to save us? As long as you can rescue us from the demon clan and lift the restriction, the lives of the six of us brothers and sisters will be sold to you."
Among them, he was considered older and had more experience than them, and he spoke to the point.
You decide the conditions, and you can do whatever you want, because fundamentally, they are just prisoners, and there is no freedom to set conditions. Even if you are loyal to the other party for life, the other party will still consider whether to want you.
"Okay, if I had said this earlier, let's stop talking in circles." Gu Zheng suddenly clapped his hands and said.
Of course I have my own ideas. I don't want such a weak guy, and I can't take them with me, so I can't agree to the previous conditions.
"The conditions are very simple. If I can access the restrictions in your body, then you can't help but tell me everything you know. From today on, within ten years, you will temporarily obey her orders around you. But what do they ask you to do? , you have to do it, even if there is a mountain of swords, a sea of fire, and an abyss, you have to jump down, okay?"
At this time, Gu Zheng pointed at Shuang'er who was standing aside and raised his eyebrows at them.
Shuang'er, who was watching the excitement on the side, couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Gu Zheng pointing at her. How could she be involved and ask them to be loyal to her for ten years.
Of course Gu Zheng has his own thoughts on this. Although Shuang'er is barely strong enough to protect himself, he can't let him do some things alone. He will find a few subordinates for him to help her. It is estimated that ten years later, she will There is no need for these people anymore.
Gu Zheng was really worried about his friends. He had no choice but to be cruel, especially towards his friends.
"But don't worry, she is much more powerful than you. All of you together can't beat each other's little finger. You just deal with some things that are inconvenient for her to handle, do some miscellaneous tasks, and remind her of some things at critical moments. "Gu Zheng said again.
Because everyone has bad qualities, which cannot be eliminated at all. If you want him to be devoted to you for the rest of his life, unless you are extremely kind to him, and the other person's character is absolutely qualified, or if you give you a little bit of trouble along the way, it will cause harm. Quite a loss.
And if you use other methods to imprison the other party, what is the difference between it and the demon clan? At most, you can make them obey your words for a while, but they may be betrayed again at any time.
And ten years can almost maintain the loyalty of most of the other party, and at least give them absolute freedom, so that they can do things wholeheartedly.
"We do."
Everyone said with joy, this condition was so good that they couldn't believe it.
"As long as senior helps me lift the restriction in my body, no matter what method I use, I promise to be unconditionally loyal to this lady within ten years and serve as her devout servant. If I violate my oath, my soul will be destroyed. I swear this. "The eldest brother immediately faced the double moth sun, and at the same time, marks were blurred in the air in his hand. As the last sound disappeared, it turned into a stream of light and shot into Shuang'er's body.
This is a solemn oath. Once it is violated, Shuang'er does not need to do anything, and he will be turned into an idiot. Of course, the premise is that the restriction in the body is lifted.
He understood clearly that this young lady was stronger than them. Although it was a pity not to follow Gu Zheng, they had no better choice. Gu Zheng did not kill them, which made them feel particularly grateful.
As soon as he finished speaking, the third child followed him again, and the same stream of light entered Shuang'er's body.
Everyone made a poisonous oath without hesitation, basically preventing them from betraying Shuang'er within ten years.
"Very good, let me check you out."
Seeing this, Gu Zheng quickly took a few steps forward, grabbed the wrist of the boss in front, and the immortal energy slowly passed through, slowly flowing in the opponent's body.
But as soon as he poked his head in, his originally relaxed face gradually disappeared. His face now became solemn and solemn.
The other giant whales turned around and looked at Gu Zheng, wondering if there was any way he could lift the restriction.
After a full cup of tea, Gu Zheng put down the boss's arm and said solemnly.
"It seems that the other party just wants you to die. Now that the poison has covered your body, it is estimated that by tonight at the latest, the restraints in your body will break out, and you will die by then."
"What!"
This news was beyond their expectations, and their faces changed drastically. They thought that the other party wanted to control them permanently, but they didn't expect that they would die so quickly. It was beyond their expectations.
Doesn't it mean that they will be abandoned after completing this task? They are worthless, too cruel.
Thinking of this, they felt chilled in their hearts, but they were also relieved immediately. If they hadn't met the senior and were caught by the other party, they would have died.
"Sir, help me." The eldest brother said with a trembling voice. Thinking that he would not live until tomorrow, he felt a little scared.
"Don't worry, because I found something strange in your body. When they put the ban on you, did they have any other special and strange behaviors?" Gu Zheng looked into his eyes and said.
"Yes, when the other party cast the ban, a pattern was drawn in the air. Although the other party was very fast, I remembered it roughly in a trance." Without waiting for the eldest brother to answer, the fourth brother on the side hurriedly said.
"Please make a rough gesture, let me see." Gu Zheng motioned the other party to come out, and he wanted to see it and confirm it.
"Like this, like this, I only remember this much." The fourth brother stretched out his fingers and gestured back and forth in the air strangely, as if a worm was twisting randomly in the air, but he only drew a few strokes, and the fourth brother said with a red face.
"These are enough, you take off your shirt, I will verify it one last time." Gu Zheng nodded, indicating that he understood, and then said to the boss in front of him.
The boss took off his shirt without saying a word, revealing his spirit-like body.
Gu Zheng raised his left hand, and a white light shot out from his palm, turning into a ball of white light that enveloped the opponent's abdomen.
With the illumination of the white light, blood-colored veins slowly emerged from the middle of the abdomen, and a very complex pattern appeared on it. The strange thing is that the pattern on it is still twisting, and it can be clearly seen that there are bulging strips on it, as if something is being transported to the center.
When the others saw it, they felt like there was a demon in front of them that was constantly wailing, begging them to give them some food, so that they couldn't help but approach and wanted to reach out to comfort it.
"Zha"
A thunderous sound rang in everyone's ears, waking them up from the confused state of their minds. Seeing that they had unknowingly approached the eldest brother, they remembered the strange things just now, and the cold sweat on their heads instantly flowed out. They didn't expect that they couldn't resist just a pattern.
They didn't know that this was actually because Gu Zheng had blocked most of the power above, and Shuang'er over there had already pressed it with one hand, otherwise the two of them would have come over involuntarily.
The white light on Gu Zheng's hand here faded again, and the strange group disappeared.
The boss unconsciously touched his abdomen with his hand. Now there was nothing on it. He felt that it was his own skin, without any abnormality, as if everything just now was an illusion.
He himself fell into the previous state just now, but he was controlled by Gu Zheng and couldn't move.
"Put on your clothes. I roughly know your situation. If I'm not mistaken, did you ask you to drink a cup of tea at the beginning of the character." Gu Zheng ignored their anxious expressions and slowly began to take out a few small cups from his hands.
There was some emerald green liquid in it. When it was taken out, a special aroma of wine filled the air, making everyone couldn't help but take two sips.
"Senior, you are right. When I was on a mission, there was indeed a copper-faced masked man who asked us to drink a cup of tea and practice for us, but we didn't feel anything wrong at the time. It was just a cup of ordinary firewood water." The boss here took out a set of clothes again and asked hurriedly.
"There is no problem drinking that cup of water alone, but if it is mixed with a special blood curse, it means that you are all sacrificed. When it's night, your body, including all your cultivation, will all be condensed into a blood ball. For people who practice a certain technique, it is a tonic." Gu Zheng snorted coldly, and his first reaction was to think of the guardian taking out the blood ball.
But it is definitely not that mysterious elder who wants them to sacrifice blood. Their strength is useless to him. It can only be said that it may be his apprentices, who need this thing like his technique.
Such a cruel death made the youngest sister pale. She felt that she was more frightened today than in her whole life. Thinking that she would turn into a ball of blood in less than a day, she couldn't help but beg, "Senior, we have all sworn, please save us quickly."
The restriction was also the blood curse in Gu Zheng's mouth, but I didn't expect it to be so cruel.
"Don't worry, there is still time. You should drink this cup of green wine first, because this spell is too vicious, and the blood curse in you is too long. If you don't take some protection, you may die with the blood curse." The seven quilts in front of Gu Zheng automatically floated in front of them.
The sixth sister drank it directly without hesitation, and the others followed closely and drank it in one gulp.
"Okay, I will treat you first, Shuang'er, you will be the guardian, and promise not to let anyone disturb me." Gu Zheng came to the middle of the courtyard and said to them separately.
Seeing Gu Zheng calling him, the eldest took a deep breath and walked over with a solemn expression.
"Relax, don't look like you're going to die heroically. Don't worry, you won't die. It's just a little painful. Don't say you can't bear it." Gu Zheng saw this and said with a smile.
Although this blood curse is a magic method that only the ancient demons can use, it is too harmful to heaven and has been lost for a long time. Even if someone knows it, they will not use it easily because it is too condemned by heaven. That chaotic period cannot be compared with this time.
It was past noon, but in the living room of Xu's house, Xu Jing was walking back and forth in the living room.
"My lord, Mr. Gu is still in the yard, but his apprentice is still guarding the door and no one is allowed in." At this time, a figure hurriedly came from outside and said to Xu Jing above.
"I know, go down, always pay attention to Mr. Xu's movements, and report to me immediately if he comes out." Xu Jing waved his hand in annoyance and said to Xu Wei who had been serving Gu Zheng.
"Yes!"
Xu Wei didn't say anything nonsense. He had been there seven or eight times since morning. It was obvious that the owner of the family was impatient. He hurried out and had to guard the door, waiting for news from Mr. Gu.
"Master, don't be so impatient. You haven't eaten a bite of food yet. I have asked the kitchen to stew some chicken soup. Eat a little bit. Don't be anxious and hurt your body." The eldest lady, who had just arrived here not long ago, said gently to the upper part.
"I want to eat, but how can I eat now?" Xu Jing turned around twice again, then sat down on the chair behind him, with his hands on the table next to him, and said helplessly.
"What's the matter? You have been frowning since you came back yesterday. Is there something that bothers you again?" The eldest lady thought of the people coming in and out from morning to morning. It seems that something big happened in the court, otherwise so many people would not gather again.
"Do you know that Luo Wei was chosen as an apprentice by the immortal master?" Xu Jing asked back.
"Of course I know. When Xu Gu and the others came back, they told many people about it. Now everyone in the mansion knows about it. At noon, they got Luo Wei drunk and told him not to forget them in the future." At this point, the eldest lady thought of Luo Wei, who was drunk and met her halfway, and wanted to kowtow to her, talking nonsense, which made her laugh.
"Still laughing, that immortal master has secretly left, and when he left, he left everything that King Wei gave him. King Wei has sent someone to apologize." Xu Jing looked at his wife who was still laughing there, rubbed his eyes and said speechlessly.
"Ah, how could this be, is that immortal master angry? Didn't we win yesterday?" Da Fu realized the seriousness of the matter and asked.
"How should I know? I don't know what Luo Wei will think after hearing it, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that we have to deal with the Ye family, and this time it will be a headache." Xu Jing sighed and said.
The court will be held tomorrow. I am afraid that the Ye family will launch a full-scale attack at that time. At noon, they have been discussing how to deal with the other party, and they have reached some consensus. Gather all the forces as soon as possible and unite them all. They also find some other ways to deal with it, hoping to delay a little time.
Not only do they have to deal with the crisis inside, but also the crisis outside.
"No matter what, the body is more important." At this time, a maid outside brought the chicken soup arranged by the eldest lady. It took it and personally took it to Xu Jing to deliver it.
"Lord Xu, the palace has an urgent report. The emperor is in danger of health. All important officials are asked to enter the palace immediately." Just as Xu Jing was about to bring it to his mouth and wanted to drink some chicken soup, a figure suddenly rushed in and said.
"What!" The chicken soup in Xu Jing's hand was immediately overturned and spilled on the ground. The whole person was stunned.
"Prepare the sedan chair and enter the palace." Xu Jing, who came to his senses, didn't care about the leftovers on his body and shouted to the servants below.
In the courtyard, Gu Zheng sat on one side, while the six elder brothers beside him were talking about the information they knew with a tired look on their faces.
The other five people were regulating their breathing on the ground. Eliminating the blood curse almost drained all their energy. They wanted to faint directly, but they all survived in the end. The blood curse in everyone's body had been eliminated.
". I am really ashamed. Because we have not entered too many times, except for knowing two cultivators who were also held hostage, we have never seen the true faces of the two people who usually give orders, and their voices have also been slightly changed. Even if they appear in front of them, they probably won't recognize them." The eldest brother said with a face full of shame. He said everything he could say, including his own guesses.
"Nothing, your information is enough. At least we can know how the other party hides in it. According to what you said, most of the people they captured will not go to the bloodstains, and many people were coerced before. These are enough. As for the hidden cave you mentioned, I will definitely take a look later to see if I can rescue a few more people." Gu Zheng smiled indifferently after listening.
"I'm afraid they will also be destroyed in the same way. It is said that there are several people who were caught by them and refused to surrender. They are being tortured alive in there. It is said that they may be executed tonight." The boss sighed. It's a pity that they can't even save themselves, let alone save them.
It seems that the two people are also in trouble. This time, the other party seems to abandon the base. No wonder there are many people packing up when I leave there. If it's not for this reason, they won't do this.
"You guys take a rest here first. I have something to do here and I need to leave first. I'll give you these things to speed up your recovery. It's going to be rough these days, so don't go out and run around." Gu Zheng was about to say something, Suddenly he felt that the backup plan he had left for Cao Fei had been activated. He hurriedly left a jade bottle and said to them.
"Shuang'er, you will call Ah Shai and the others in later. I won't come back, so try not to go out again. Remember to pay more attention to safety."
After Gu Zheng finished giving instructions to them, he immediately ran out of the courtyard and ran towards the place where Cao Fei died.
