Having a bad premonition, Gu Sheng hurriedly activated Xiaoding, wanting to lead everyone out of the ground.
But the small cauldron trembled for a long time and was still suppressed by the boulder above.
Feeling the obstruction of divine power, Gu Sheng could only use his breath to explore the way, trying to find a way out among the rocks.
The breath kept getting through the cracks in the rocks, but he couldn't find any way out.
In despair, Gu Sheng suddenly felt a familiar breath.
He was moved in his heart and hurriedly urged his divine power to go there.
After feeling it carefully, his eyes suddenly lit up! Because what he felt was the formation he had set up before, and it was filled with the auras of everyone!
This formation was originally meant to block the goblins' life gates, but unexpectedly it became their way of survival!
Actuating the small cauldron again, Gu Sheng disappeared into the spiritual world and led everyone towards the formation.
The divine power and the formation reacted to each other, and a door soon opened in the formation.
After overcoming many obstacles, Xiao Ding finally escaped with everyone!
Gu Sheng With a thought in his mind, everyone returned to the real world again.
After turning his eyes around for a few times, Gu Sheng finally saw Er Gou lying aside.
"Er Gou, how are you?"
When Gu Sheng said the words, everyone looked at Er Gou.
Seeing him lying on the ground soundlessly, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
"Er Gou!"
"Er Gou!"
Amidst the shouts, Gu Sheng came to Er Gou and held him in his arms.
He stretched out his hand to feel for Er Gou's pulse. After feeling it carefully, his heart suddenly sank.
"No, Er Gou has injured the meridians, set up the formation quickly!"
After hearing this, everyone immediately gathered around and released their divine power to heal Er Gou.
In an instant, Er Gou's body was glowing with all kinds of divine power, and wisps of divine power penetrated into his meridians, sparing no effort to heal his injuries.
Gu Sheng, as the master, directly entered Er Gou's Dantian.
When he found the injured area, he immediately used the energy from his Dantian to repair it.
Throughout the night, the divine power in everyone's hands never stopped.
It wasn't until dawn that Er Gou opened his eyes, and then Gu Sheng sent a signal to everyone to calm down.
The moment the sun shone brightly, everyone let out a heavy breath.
Er Gou opened his eyes and looked at them with confusion.
"Brother Sheng, why are we here?"
Hearing this, Shi Lou rushed to him.
"Er Gou, you don't remember? Then do you still know who I am?"
Looking at him, Er Gou looked confused.
"Shi Lou, are you stupid?"
"You remember me? Then you don't remember how we came out?"
"How did we get out? Didn't we fight the goblins?"
Speaking of this, Er Gou's expression changed.
"No, goblins are causing trouble. The cave is about to collapse. Aren't we trapped underneath? How did we get out?"
Knowing that his memory stayed at this moment, Shi Lou explained it.
Er Gou was filled with gratitude when he learned that everyone spent the night healing his injuries.
"Thank you everyone for saving my life."
After hearing this, everyone waved to him indifferently.
"We are all our own people, why are you so polite?"
"That's right, Brother Sheng is the main force. If I want to thank you, just thank Brother Sheng."
When Er Gou's eyes fell over, Gu Sheng smiled.
"If you dare to say thank you, I will kick you out of this team right now."
When he said this, Er Gou choked back the words as soon as they reached his lips.
Gu Sheng took out some snacks and distributed them to everyone, but everyone was not polite to him and returned to where they were.
It was approaching noon, and everyone got up.
Looking at the collapsed cave, Shi Lou frowned and asked, "Brother Sheng, are we going to chase the goblin? This goblin is so hateful, I really can't forgive my hatred if I don't kill him!"
After he finished speaking, everyone nodded.
The incident in Yinchenmu started because of goblins. He not only caused them a lot of trouble but also hurt Er Gou. It would be hard to forgive him if he didn't kill him!
Feeling the emotions of everyone, Gu Sheng sighed and said, "The goblins should indeed be killed, but not now."
"Not now?"
"Yes, we have been out for a long time, so everyone must be worried. Let's go back first, let everyone know that they are safe, and fully recover their cultivation before we go on."
Just thinking about it, everyone thinks what he said makes sense.
The people at Stone Village knew that they had gone to Purple Cloud Peak, and they must have been extremely worried. They had not returned for a long time, and their hearts were probably in their throats.
After saving Huang Shan, it is better to go back and report that he is safe.
After making the decision, everyone returned to Stone Village.
In the evening, everyone arrived. Third Elder saw them from a distance, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Everyone, come out quickly, Gu Sheng are back!"
He shouted loudly, and every household immediately opened their doors and came to greet him.
Within a moment, Gu Sheng and others were surrounded in the middle.
Listening to everyone's concerned greetings, several people felt extremely warm in their hearts.
"Don't worry, we are not injured."
With these words, everyone felt relieved.
"Huang Shan, when you were in Purple Cloud Peak, they didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
Hearing this, Huang Shan pursed his lips tightly, and said after a long time, "They tried to use me as bait, asking me to take them to Stone Village to trick Brother Sheng out, and then dig out the dark wood before Stone Village was completed."
"What? They are so mean!"
"They are far more despicable than we imagined. They will do whatever it takes to get the Dark Wood."
"They wanted the Dark Wood so much, why didn't they go look for it themselves in Yin Shen Mountain?"
"It was too dangerous there and they didn't want to take the chance, so they put the idea on my head."
Huang Shan After saying that, everyone was yelling angrily.
When he was furious, Gu Sheng cast his eyes on Huang Shan's face.
"You didn't cooperate with them, so you suffered a lot, right?"
As soon as he said this, everyone's voices suddenly stopped, and their eyes fell on Huang Shan's face again.
Huang Shan smiled bitterly, then nodded.
"They really did whatever it took to get me to cooperate."
"What did they do to you?"
"I did a lot, including fire torture, water torture, and even thunder torture..."
Everyone's eyes widened when they heard him mention various punishments one by one.
Any one of these punishments will kill someone, but Huang Shan has experienced every one of them!
And under such conditions, he has not yet obeyed the people of Purple Cloud Peak. He is really a man of iron and steel!
When everyone was extremely distressed, Huang Shan said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone. I have long been accustomed to these punishments, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bear them. Don't forget, I came out of Soul Refining Cave, and the punishments there are much heavier than Purple Cloud Peak."
The scar on his heart was brought back again, and everyone felt more and more distressed.
"Huang Shan, from now on, we Stone Village will try our best to protect you!"
"Yes, we have packed up your house for you. Go and have a look."
Huang Shan was pulled to the door of his house and pushed open the door with his own hands.
In the yard, everything has been packed away, items are neatly stacked, and everything is in its place.
Everyone embraced him and walked in. When he opened the door, Huang Shan's tears suddenly fell.
Gu Sheng took a look around the room. It was clean and warm. The brand new bedding was spread on the bed, which looked very warm at first sight.
He knew why Huang Shan was crying, so he patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't cry, it will get better and better in the future."
Perhaps due to an emotional breakdown, Huang Shan turned around and hugged him.
"Brother Sheng, I finally have a family again. I thought I would never have a family in this life. Unexpectedly, I have a family again."
"This will be your home from now on. You can marry a wife and have children here, and pass it on from generation to generation. No matter when, Stone Village will find this person with the name Huang Shan."
Hearing this, Huang Shan cried even harder.
In the evening, everyone at Stone Village finally gathered together and had a lively reunion dinner.
After drinking for three rounds, Third Elder asked Gu Sheng: "Have you settled everything?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng sighed lightly.
"We have bloodbathed Purple Cloud Peak. Peak Master Purple Cloud Peak will not give up. In addition, the goblins have escaped and will definitely come to seek revenge in the future, so we cannot sit still and wait for death."
Gu Sheng After finishing speaking, everyone looked sad.
"Now the two sides have made enemies. If they attack together, we may be in trouble."
"Third Elder Don't be afraid. The reason why we returned to Stone Village is just to assure you that you are safe. We will leave as soon as possible in these two days."
"Gu Sheng, that's not what I meant. Whether it is Purple Cloud Peak or the goblins, they are all coming for us Stone Village. You led everyone to rush forward and protected our safety. We are extremely grateful. You have endured so much, and the next thing should be borne by us together. I am worried that they will join forces, nothing else."
After Third Elder finished speaking, Gu Sheng smiled.
"I understand what you mean, and I'm not overly concerned. It's just that both of them are focusing on us. Instead of involving everyone, it's better for us to solve it ourselves. Whether it's Purple Cloud Peak or the goblins, we can handle it."
"That's not okay. It's the whole Stone Village thing. You've already endured enough. How can we put everything on you?"
As soon as Third Elder finished speaking, everyone nodded.
While everyone was having different opinions, a big bird suddenly fell from the sky and landed directly on Gu Sheng's shoulder.
Seeing the letter paper tied to the bird's leg, Gu Sheng took it off and looked at it carefully.
After seeing it, his eyes lit up.
"Brother Sheng, what's wrong?"
"South Mountain discovered a spiritual bead. All sects are heading here, and the master of Purple Cloud Peak is also here."
Gu Sheng As soon as these words came out, everyone became excited instantly.
"Gu Sheng, the spiritual pearl you are talking about is the one that is rare to see in a hundred years?"
"Yes, spirit beads can help people improve their strength for ten years. They are a good thing in the world."
"Yes, yes, I have heard a little bit about the spirit beads. It is said that there are ten spirit beads in the world. If you can collect all ten spirit beads, you can not only increase your strength for a hundred years, but you can also summon a divine dragon as a mount. However, I only heard about it and I don't know whether it is true or not."
"I have heard about this. I only know that the increase in strength is true. As for Shenlong, I'm afraid it's just a rumor."
"This is indeed an undocumented inquiry, but it is also possible. Just like this Lingzhu, it has not been seen for a hundred years, and it is only a rumor in the world. Now it has appeared? Although it is only one, as long as it shows up, the Lingzhu's spiritual energy can be used to find other Lingzhu. The centuries-old rumor may also be broken."
Thinking about it carefully, Gu Sheng thinks it makes sense.
"Third Elder, do you want to find the spirit beads?"
Hearing his words, Third Elder smiled and waved his hand.
"No, if it had been a few years ago, I would have definitely gone to find out. But since the death of Elder Shi, I no longer want to participate in the fighting and killing in the world. I just want to live by Stone Village. What does it matter if my cultivation level is high? At my age, there is nothing happier than living with my family."
Third Elder After speaking, many people agreed with his idea.
After several inquiries, only Shi Lou and Huang Shan were willing to find the whereabouts of the spirit beads.
After thinking about it, Gu Sheng decided to take them with him.
Firstly, everyone is interested in the spirit beads, and secondly, Purple Cloud Peak and the goblins are targeting them. Their leaving Stone Village is also a kind of protection for other people in Stone Village.
Moreover, Purple Cloud Peak Master is already on his way to find the spirit bead, so they can take this opportunity to kill him directly.
"Okay, then we'll leave tomorrow."
Hearing the words, Shi Lou nodded excitedly.
"Brother Sheng, if you can really get the Lingzhu, the Lingzhu will be yours, and we can share some of the treasure next to the Lingzhu."
"Yes, there is only one spiritual bead, and it belongs to Brother Sheng. We divide the treasure. It will be enough for us to eat and drink in this lifetime."
Hearing everyone's words, Gu Sheng frowned.
"Everyone is here for the Lingzhu. If we can get it, I can't keep it to myself."
"Brother Sheng, you are wrong about this. We are here to help you get the Lingzhu. Our goal is not the Lingzhu, but the treasure beside the Lingzhu. It is said that there is a treasure around every Lingzhu. This treasure is our goal."
After Shi Lou finished speaking, Huang Shan nodded.
"If there are only spirit beads, we won't go. But if you say there is a treasure, then I will go and find out."
They quickly drew a clear line between themselves and Lingzhu, not wanting to get involved at all.
Gu Sheng was a little helpless and wanted to say more, but was blocked by everyone.
"Brother Sheng, as I said before, if we can get the Lingzhu, the Lingzhu will be yours. If you insist on giving it to us, then we won't go."
"Yes, we won't go if this is the case. I will stay with Stone Village to accompany Third Elder."
Gu Sheng When he was helpless, Third Elder patted his shoulder.
"Gu Sheng, go ahead. If you can get the spirit beads, just share the treasure with them. Stone Village will rely on you to guard it in the future. There is nothing wrong with you taking the spirit beads."
With Third Elder opening his mouth, Gu Sheng could only nod.
Looking at the crowd, he felt extremely warm in his heart.
Early the next morning, Gu Sheng and others were ready to go.
Before they were about to set off on the road, Third Elder and others hurried over, holding a big box in their hands.
"Wait, Gu Sheng, take this box with you."
Looking at the box, Gu Sheng was a little confused.
"Third Elder, what is this?"
"There are only a few high-level spiritual stones, so don't dislike them. It's just a little bit of everyone's thoughts. We'll feel more at ease if you hold them."
After he finished speaking, everyone nodded.
Gu Sheng was about to refuse, but Third Elder forcefully put the box into his arms.
"Take it. If you don't take it, we won't be able to sleep day and night."
Finally, Gu Sheng took the box into his hands.
