The Otherworldly God

Chapter 188

Xuan appears to be very cold towards everyone, but in fact, he dotes on Le Zheng Shuiling as much as Su. If she wasn't An Ruosu's biological daughter, Xuan would have thought that he would be passed on to Le Zheng Shuiling instead of being Le Zheng Shuiling's second brother.

"It's not a good time to stay here. Let's go."

He went over and pulled Le Zheng Shui Ling to leave, but Le Zheng Shui Ling held the bamboo tightly.

"Where's Brother Yuhua? Where's Qiming?"

"Don't worry, Miss. They are on my side."

"Why did you run so far?"

In fact, the distance was not very far, but the sound was weakened, and Su La led them over.

"It's only a few steps away. In this bamboo forest, the sound will be weakened as long as there is a little distance. I'm afraid it is to prevent the sound from being transmitted."

"Su, Xuan is here too?"

"Yes, my brother came along too."

"Can you see anything?"

"I can't see it very clearly, but compared to you, I can see it."

Le Zheng Yuhua stared at Su, and Su noticed it, looked over and met his gaze.

She wasn't sure if he could see her, but he was definitely looking into her eyes.

"Cat's eye."

"Cat? What do you mean?"

"fine."

Le Zheng Yuhua recalled that they had turned into cat-like creatures, and now looking into their eyes, he could also see a bit of the feeling of cat's eyes.

Cats are nocturnal animals and have good vision in the dark, but there are no such creatures as cats in this world. Maybe there are, but they just don't call them that.

"The bug that Yunxiu sent us has flown away. You are the only ones left to lead us out. We should not stay here for long."

"Miss, please hold on to my hand. You two, please don't let go of my hand. We seem to have been blown a little far away. We can only try to find the direction."

They hadn't gone far when Xuan heard a sound. His ears twitched a few times and he determined the other party's general direction.

Because the sound was weakened in the bamboo forest, Xuan had not yet adapted to this setting and misjudged the opponent's distance.

Only when the opponent attacked him did he hurriedly take action to counter the attack.

The three people couldn't see anything at all, they could only hear the sounds and couldn't tell friend from foe.

Le Zheng Qiming listened and the other party muttered a few terms that sounded familiar.

"This is the magic of the Gongsun family."

"Don't hurt him."

Xuan stopped the other party. If Le Zheng Shuiling hadn't told him not to hurt him, Xuan would have killed him long ago.

They couldn't see each other's faces and couldn't recognize each other (even if they saw several of them, they wouldn't recognize them).

Listening to the voice, the other party seemed to be a little mentally unwell. Le Zheng Yuhua thought that staying in such a place for a few days would indeed cause a great shock to a person's spirit.

"Qingguo, calm him down."

"Oh."

Qingguo flew out. Le Zheng Yuhua was not sure whether Qingguo's healing skills would work on him, so he could only try it. However, Qingguo's appearance gave them a big turning point.

It turned out that Qingguo was emitting a golden-green light all over his body, which was brighter than the insect just now and illuminated an area of ​​at least five meters.

They finally saw a dishevelled and miserable man, and looking at his tattered clothes, they could barely recognize that he was indeed a member of the Gongsun family.

When he saw the light, he first covered his eyes, but soon, regardless of the glare, he flew over, so eager that Qingguo was frightened and hid behind Le Zheng Yuhua.

Soon, he began to feel uncomfortable because his eyes could not adapt, so Qingguo went over to treat him.

His emotions calmed down a little, and he first showed a vigilant expression to Qingguo. Qingguo was so scared that he hid towards Lezheng Yuhua. He noticed the three people and recognized them as Lezheng's men from their clothes.

"Are you Taoist priests from Le Zheng?"

"I am not talented enough to be considered a Taoist priest, but if I take you out, you might really be a Taoist priest. Hey, which one of Gongsun's men are you?"

"My name is Gongsun Minglou, thank you all for saving me."

"Just you? There should be six others, right?"

Gongsun Minglou's expression was sometimes sad, sometimes fearful, his brows were sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed, and it took a long time before he let out a breath.

“We entered the Black Forest, and at first we had some spells that worked, so we could see the way.

Until we entered this place, we had almost exhausted all our life's knowledge and could no longer gain light. We thought about retreating, but unfortunately, we had no way to retreat.

Were we lost, or was this place just a ghost? We don't know.

In the darkness, the seven of us got separated, leaving only Uncle Zhan and I. We didn't know whether it was day or night, and we could only rely on our hands to keep groping forward. Finally, we ran out of water.

I don’t know how long we waited before we finally found the missing people. However, they attacked us like crazy, so we had no choice but to fight back.

Soon, we dispersed again. This time I was the only one left. I couldn’t see anything. I had no water or food left.

I cried to the heavens and the earth, but no one answered. I could only hear the sound of the wind, and then I...until now, I met you.

What is it? Why is it glowing in the dark forest?"

"She is a kind of insect that can glow."

"Who is the bug?" Qingguo went over and knocked on Lezheng Shuiling's head. Lezheng Shuiling could only wink at her. Qingguo had no choice but to admit: "Yes, I am a bug that practices cultivation."

"No wonder. I've read about this kind of bug in a book, but it doesn't look like you. So, are you a monster?"

Le Zheng Shuiling was worried that Qingguo would be angry, so she quickly stopped her.

"Don't worry, she is practicing Taoism, which is a quick success. We are coming to the Black Forest, and it is urgent, so we can only do this."

"Don't worry, I'm not hostile to all foreigners."

Le Zheng Shuiling went over and whispered to him, "I think a Taoist should know how to make good use of resources, such as... her, right?"

Qingguo had heard it, and was about to hit Le Zheng Yuhua with her bag. Xuan stared at her fiercely, so she didn't do it. Le Zheng Yuhua was worried and protected her by the side.

Gongsun Minglou looked at it and could only smile awkwardly and nod to show his agreement.

"What now? Go back?"

Having just tried it but without success, Le Zheng Yuhua thought about not using the secret bag given by Mu Xin, since he had already found Gongsun Minglou.

However, Gongsun Minglou suddenly became unwilling to follow, saying that he wanted to find his Uncle Zhan and would never leave him alone.

Xuan directly asked Le Zheng Shui Ling to leave him behind. After all, staying too long would be fatal.

"You haven't encountered any other... unusual places here?"

"Except for not being able to see and not being able to find the direction, it seems... there is nothing else."

Le Zheng Yuhua was a little surprised and thought, could it be that those ghosts don’t live here, or are they not easily visible or touchable?

That shouldn't be the case. In order to hide, they turned the Black Forest into such a forbidden area. How could they turn a blind eye if someone broke in, unless they were fearless.

So, what are they relying on? Le Zheng Yuhua looked into the darkness in the distance and seemed to understand that the place where they were now might just be the first door.

The characteristics of the Black Forest, which is that one cannot see or tell directions, it is estimated that not many people can easily get through it.

He recalled Yun Xiu's words and realized that this might be the first hurdle that Yun Xiu mentioned.

He pulled out a green brocade bag and held what looked like a bead and something else.

He opened the brocade bag, and a luminous pearl emitting a strange light appeared before his eyes. It was much brighter than the green fruit. Le Zheng Shuiling recognized it as the one given by Yun Xiu and snatched it away.

"Why didn't Yunxiu tell us in advance that such a good thing was given to us? This is more useful than green fruit."

Le Zheng Yuhua took out a piece of paper with "the fifteenth moon" written on it. Le Zheng Yuhua looked up curiously, but didn't see any moon at all. He silently calculated the time in his mind and it should not be dark outside yet.

How could there be a moon when it wasn't dark? Besides, it wasn't the 15th yet.

"Could it be that she wants us to stay until the fifteenth?"

Le Zheng Qiming looked at the paper in confusion.

"There are still many days until the next fifteenth. Even if we can wait, Gongsun's people can't."

Le Zheng Yuhua thought there were other explanations.

"Now we have Xuan, Su, Qing Guo and this. Why don't we try to find Senior Zhan for him?"

"It's uncertain how long this pearl can shine." Le Zheng Yuhua was not sure whether this night-light pearl needed to store energy, but he did not want to just watch it die. Moreover, this was only the first hurdle, and he wanted to see what other hurdles would come next, so he said, "Let's walk as fast as possible and don't get separated."

"Minglou thanks everyone."

"You're welcome. When you get out, say something good about us so that we can earn a good reputation."

Le Zheng Shuiling might have forgotten. At this moment, Le Zhengbo and others had already returned to Le Zheng, and everyone had heard about it.
