The moonlight hung high, but Third Elder couldn't sleep for a long time.
As I tossed and turned, the words Gu Sheng filled my ears.
"Third Elder, have you been to Crimson Wood Peak?"
"Third Elder, is it dangerous there?"
"Third Elder, I want to go for a walk."
Thinking of Gu Sheng's serious and stubborn look, Third Elder sighed silently.
He knew that with Gu Sheng's character, he wouldn't be able to stop him for long.
When the sky was slightly bright, Third Elder still got up, lit the candle, and gently put pen to paper.
When the sun was shining high, Lan Yao knocked on Gu Sheng's door.
Gu Sheng held his clothes and leaned against the door, looking at him unhappily.
"Lan Yao, it's very impolite to disturb someone's dream, don't you know?"
"Gu Sheng, I found the key to raising Hundred Spirits Grass!"
After being interrupted by Lan Yao, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Found it so quickly?"
"Yes, I realize now that I have been researching in the wrong direction before. It turns out that the key to growing Hundred Spirits Grass is not the environment and soil, but the root system. Look here, these roots have been squeezed in the gaps. It seems that the growth environment is not good, but it is actually extremely beneficial to Hundred Spirits Grass."
"You mean the more you ignore it, the better it will grow?"
"You could say the same thing."
Looking at Hundred Spirits Grass in Lan Yao's hand, Gu Sheng suddenly asked, "Lan Yao, what do you think is the benefit of Hundred Spirits Grass and Crimson Wood Peak's spiritual grass?"
"Of course it's Crimson Wood Peak's spiritual grass! Do you know why Hundred Spirits Grass is called Hundred Spirits Grass?"
"I don't know."
"Because people were resentful because they couldn't get the spiritual grass on Crimson Wood Peak, we named this grass Hundred Spirits Grass. It can be obtained more easily, and it sounds like it's overpowering Hundred Spirits Grass."
"Is there actually a big difference between the two?"
Lan Yao thought for a while, and randomly pulled out a herb in Gu Sheng's yard.
"Well, the comparison between the two is just like this herb and the Purple Spirit Grass in your hand. The difference can be seen at a glance."
Knowing this, Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing him like this, Lan Yao approached him and whispered, "Gu Sheng, you really want to go to Crimson Wood Peak."
"Well, I want to go, what can you do?"
"No, all I know about Crimson Wood Peak and the spiritual grass are from rumors. There are no accurate and feasible clues. If you really want to go, you still have to ask Third Elder."
The topic came back again, and Gu Sheng sighed helplessly.
"It's okay to ask me to bow my head and ask Third Elder. The key is that Third Elder may not want to say it."
"Actually, Third Elder is also worried about you. After all, Crimson Wood Peak is dangerous. If he really said it and you went there in a hurry, if you lost your life in Crimson Wood Peak, Third Elder will feel guilty for the rest of his life."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng looked into Lan Yao's eyes.
"If I said I wouldn't lose my life, would you believe me?"
"Believe it, otherwise I wouldn't want to go with you, but Third Elder I don't know if you believe it or not."
Looking at the horizon, Gu Sheng sighed silently.
When the two were relatively silent, the voice of Third Elder suddenly sounded.
"Who said I don't believe it? I do."
The two of them looked at Third Elder, both of them were surprised.
Seeing them like this, Third Elder couldn't help but chuckle.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'm lying?"
"No, no, Third Elder How could you possibly lie? It's just... a bit too sudden."
"Suddenly? What sudden?"
"Your trust came too suddenly, Third Elder. Since you believe that I won't lose my life, see if you can."
Seeing Gu Sheng hesitate to speak, Third Elder smiled and handed the cowhide in his hand to his hand.
"Gu Sheng, I believe you will not lose your life in Crimson Wood Peak. Please don't betray my trust."
Looking at Third Elder's solemn eyes, Gu Sheng nodded repeatedly and said seriously, "Third Elder, don't worry, I will go back with all my tail, and I will definitely come back with all my tail. You just wait for me at Stone Village. Regardless of whether I can get the spiritual grass back, I will come back alive."
Hearing Gu Sheng's words, the three old men's eyes turned slightly red and they patted the back of his hand hard.
"Brother Sheng, I'm waiting for you at Stone Village."
"Thank you Third Elder."
"When will we set off?"
"I'll leave tomorrow, but before I go, I have to go to the Black Fiend Sect. Otherwise, I'll be gone for a long time. If they come to cause trouble, I'm worried that you won't be able to deal with it."
"You don't have to worry about this matter. Although my strength is damaged, I, Stone Village, am not at the mercy of others. I am just Black Fiend Sect, and I can still handle it."
Gu Sheng pursed his lips and did not refute Third Elder's words, but he already had an idea in his heart.
Seeing him like this, Third Elder sighed softly.
"You rest first, I'll help you prepare something."
Knowing what he was going to prepare, Gu Sheng quickly stopped him.
"Third Elder, don't prepare. You have almost taken away all the good things Stone Village. We have Purple Spirit Grass with us, so there is no need to bring anything else."
After thinking for a while, Third Elder nodded.
"Okay, my stuff is really not as good as Purple Spirit Grass, so I won't bother. I'll set up a banquet for you tonight. You go early and come back early."
Patting the back of Gu Sheng's hand again, Third Elder turned and left.
As soon as he left, Lan Yao rushed in front of Gu Sheng and said with excitement, "Gu Sheng, look what's in that cowhide?"
Gu Sheng Open the cowhide, and what you see is a map.
The map is very detailed, and notes are written on many difficult-to-reach places, which shows the care of the creator.
His fingers gently brushed the cowhide, and Gu Sheng felt extremely grateful.
"It takes a lot of time to make this cowhide, Third Elder is very thoughtful."
"In order to protect your life, Third Elder, can you not be careful? But this map is only at the foot of Crimson Wood Peak mountain. What if you can't find the spiritual grass there?"
"Then go up."
"There's no map further up."
"It doesn't matter, as long as we can find Crimson Wood Peak, I will find a way to find the spiritual grass."
Understanding what he meant, Lan Yao nodded.
"Anyway, I am determined to follow you. I will go wherever you go. We share blessings and share hardships."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng smiled.
"Okay, then accompany me to the Black Fiend Sect first. After we deal with them, we will go to Crimson Wood Peak."
"No problem."
After deciding on the itinerary, Gu Sheng called Shi Lou and others to share his thoughts.
Before everyone could express their opinions, he said seriously again, "Crimson Wood Peak has already said the dangers of Third Elder. It's up to you whether you want to go with me or not. There's no need to force it. After all, it's about life, so you must consider it carefully."
After he finished speaking, Shi Lou stood up directly.
"Brother Sheng, I will let you go, let alone a little Crimson Wood Peak, I will let you go even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire."
"I'll go too. You saved my life. At that time, I vowed to be by your side. My vow will never change."
After Huang Shan finished speaking, everyone who came out of Soul Refining Cave nodded repeatedly.
Er Gou stood aside and looked at them helplessly.
"We are looking for spiritual herbs, and we don't necessarily have to die. Why are you so serious?"
"We are making a statement to reassure Brother Sheng."
"Brother Sheng is very relieved about us. Otherwise, can you take us? Brother Sheng, do you think so?"
Looking at Er Gou, Gu Sheng smiled and nodded.
"I am really relieved about you, but this time we are not only going to Crimson Wood Peak, but also to the Black Fiend Sect."
"Brother Sheng, have you finally decided to eradicate the roots?"
"Yes, Black Fiend Sect has been eyeing us. If we leave, they will definitely attack again. Although Stone Village has defense, defense without attack is not enough. If they pester us, they will succeed sooner or later. This is the trouble we have caused, and we cannot let other people in Stone Village bear the responsibility."
Understanding what he meant, Er Gou nodded vigorously.
"Brother Sheng is right. Since they insult us like this, then we will kill them all and let them disappear from this world forever. Brother Sheng, when do we set off?"
"Go back and pack your things first, and we'll leave at dawn tomorrow."
Knowing that they were leaving tomorrow, several people were very excited and hurried back to pack their things.
Looking at Lan Yao, Gu Sheng asked, "You have been out for so long, are you sure you don't need to report back to Elf race?"
"It doesn't matter, my eldest brother is busy and has no time to take care of me."
"Your eldest brother is...?"
"Elf race Patriarch, it is only because of his support that I can reach the dandy family. Otherwise, why do you think I am so idle?"
Understanding what was going on, Gu Sheng smiled.
"It turns out that you also know that you are a playboy, and you have a very clear idea of your position."
Hearing this, Lan Yao had a dark look on his face.
"I finally know why Er Gou are so annoying. It turns out they all learned from you. It's true that those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are black!"
"Then you should be careful."
Lan Yao: "..."
That night, Third Elder prepared a banquet for them, opened a bottle of good wine, and announced that they were going to Crimson Wood Peak.
Knowing that they were really going, everyone surrounded them and kept asking about safety matters.
Listening to everyone's words, Gu Sheng felt extremely warm in his heart.
Just as everyone was toasting, Third Elder stopped everyone.
"They are going to go on the road tomorrow, so let's just have a taste."
Everyone gave up and hurriedly urged them to go back to their rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, Gu Sheng and others got up early. They wanted to leave quietly, but as soon as they went out, Stone Village and his wife were already waiting at their door.
After everyone's repeated instructions and farewells, Gu Sheng and others left.
After walking far away, Gu Sheng looked back again and found that everyone was still behind him. Their figures had become extremely small, but he could feel that their eyes were on him.
For a moment, Gu Sheng felt that his heart was filled with a strange feeling, which made his heart warm and his eyes sore.
He stood on a high place, waved vigorously in the distance, and then led everyone on another path.
After a long time, Gu Sheng finally adjusted his mood.
"Lan Yao, how far is it?"
"There's about half a day left to travel, Gu Sheng, do you want to take action today?"
"If we can arrive in the evening, we will kill them all."
Hearing this, everyone became energetic.
They planned the operation as they walked. When they arrived at the Black Fiend Sect, everyone had already clearly divided their work.
Looking at the Black Fiend Sect from a distance, Gu Sheng already had a murderous look on his face.
"To capture the thief, capture the king first. After entering, we will kill Zhang Ping first, and then the others."
After hearing his words, everyone immediately agreed.
At this time, Lan Yao called his men, pointed at the Black Fiend Sect and said, "You guys go explore the way for me and see how many people there are in the Black Fiend Sect, where is the specific location of Zhang Ping, and whether there are any experts around."
After hearing his order, Elf race and the others immediately went.
Gu Sheng and others stayed in place to recover their strength. In just half an hour, everyone's strength returned to its peak state.
As soon as they opened their eyes, people from Elf race ran back.
"Boss, Zhang Ping is in the main house, accompanied by many women. In addition, there are two guardians."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
"Zhang Ping still has two great guardians around him? How strong are they?"
Several people thought about it carefully, but didn't know how to express it.
Lan Yao was waiting anxiously and simply asked, "Are their strength superior to yours?"
"If they were in peak condition, they should be stronger than us, but now that they are surrounded by women, they will be exhausted after nightfall, and by then it will not necessarily be clear who is stronger and who is weaker."
Understanding what they meant, Gu Sheng smiled.
"Then wait until nightfall before taking action. It will be easier to kill them after they have been eviscerated."
Lan Yao nodded and said to his subordinates, "You continue to keep an eye on them. Once they fall asleep, send a signal immediately."
Several people from Elf race went again, and Gu Sheng and others also moved forward a little.
After all, Zhang Ping is busy over there, so he probably doesn't have anything to think about. They will definitely not be discovered if they get closer.
They waited until the full moon, late at night, and finally received the signal from Elf race.
"Gu Sheng, my men have sent the signal, let's go over!"
Finally waiting for these words, everyone took out their weapons and headed straight towards the Black Fiend Sect in a menacing manner.
Following the guidance of Elf race, they walked on a remote path and moved forward along the path. They actually arrived directly at the location of Zhang Ping.
Seeing the two sleepy people at the door, Shi Lou was about to take action, but Gu Sheng stopped him.
Gu Sheng flicked his fingertips, and a wisp of smoke flew out. The two of them inhaled it, and then fell straight to the ground.
"Shi Lou, kill them directly. The others will follow me in."
Shi Lou rushed forward quickly, and Gu Sheng led everyone into Zhang Ping's door.
Gu Sheng came with the attitude of destroying the whole family. After entering the door, he directly followed the breath and found Zhang Ping.
Sure enough, as Elf race said, there were actually several women accompanying him.
There are several people in one bed, which is simply unsightly.
Perhaps feeling a strange aura, Zhang Ping on the bed suddenly opened his eyes wide.
When Gu Sheng's eyes met, he didn't even come back to his senses.
"Isn't this dream too real?"
For a moment, Gu Sheng sneered.
"Zhang Ping, don't you even dare to admit the truth now?"
I really heard Gu Sheng's voice. Zhang Ping stood up and actually blocked those women in front of him!
Several women gradually woke up and screamed when they saw Gu Sheng and others with murderous faces.
Hearing this harsh sound, Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and waved his hand with a sword!
