423. Gu Liang's first secret treasure
Mo Daoxian was silent for a while, as if this question was difficult for him to answer, and after a while, he said, "It was because the Cloud City Lord Minghui invited me to explore the secret realm that I was able to enter here." ◎∶ ∠”
Gu Liang heard his heart, and immediately knew that there was a secret in this invitation, and she said quietly: "The city lord of Minghui disappeared for no reason thirteen days ago, and I left the sect and came to Suiyun City precisely to find out the truth about his disappearance. ”
Mo Daoxian's mood relaxed slightly, and then he took the initiative to describe the process of entering the Dao in detail, and he did not hide what happened in the Dao.
Mo Daoxian stepped into the Dao when Minghui disappeared early, it was a month ago, and he was not the only one who came in here, and there were two who were also in the late stage of Jindan.
Hearing this, Gu Liang interrupted his narration and asked, "Where did you come from?" And, listening to you, it seems that the city lord of Minghui did not walk with you? ”
Mo Daoxian paused and said, "Yes, he didn't go with us, he stayed outside." ”
"The place where we came in was called the Devil's Land in the mountains and forests near Cloud City, where there was a dangerous and chaotic rocky beach, and there was a natural maze. Going deep into the rocky beach, through the maze, you will see a bat cave that stretches downward, which is the entrance. ”
Gu Liang glanced at Mo Daoxian's thin body and said, "With your strength, you can't even get close to the Stonehenge where the maze is without the help of foreign objects. So, to get here from the Bat Cave, you need a key. ”
There was a certain condition that needed to be met to enter the Labyrinth of Destruction, and she didn't meet the condition that day, even if she knew the coordinates of the entrance, she couldn't find the entrance.
The location has been explained in the Bat Cave coordinates, so what do the coordinates of the mountain behind the Enlightened Peak of the Qiankun Sect mean?
Could it be that there is a key buried in that place?
Gu Liang felt that things would not be so simple.
"Indeed, with the keys, we can hardly feel the devil's weight. With the key, the Batcave bats won't attack us either. "Mo Daoxian.
He thought for a while, and felt that things outside the Dao were already bad, so he began to say: "This is a very strange and terrifying place, I entered here with two Taoist friends, and the first two days were all thrilling, and I also gained some things. However, on the third day......"
At this point, Mo Daoxian's face showed clearly visible fear, and this expression was particularly terrifying when he was gouged out of his eyeballs and black holes.
"On the third day, Zhang Daoyou, a companion, suddenly he saw a terrible and hideous beast, and we were walking inside its huge body, and the horse was about to be digested by it. Then, little by little, Zhang Daoyou became transparent, and then disappeared completely, without a single sign! ”
After Mo Daoxian's stumbling narrative, Gu Liang probably figured out his experience.
After Zhang Daoyou disappeared, Mo Daoxian and his casual cultivator companion Zhou Daoyou were frightened and panicked, and then these two people faced off with the evil cultivator organization, and under the huge disparity in strength, they narrowly escaped.
But that's just the beginning of the nightmare.
After the third day, the corridor broke its pattern and became a terrifying labyrinth that could change at any time, and all kinds of strange creatures that hid in the shadows also appeared.
At this time, Mo Daoxian and the three of them had already gone deep into the depths of the Dao, and the pattern of the maze had changed, which meant that they were trapped in the maze and could not return to find the exit by the same path.
In the following days, Mo Daoxian and Zhou Daoyou had to experience a game with death every day, and the two were physically and mentally exhausted by the maze, and they quickly lost weight, and they could be frightened at the slightest disturbance.
"However, the most terrifying thing is not these, but a night walk every three days." Mo Daoxian said, he looked at Gu Liang's direction with empty eyes, "On the sixth day of stepping here, the corridor suddenly darkened completely, and Zhou Daoyou and I just reached a door, so we pushed it open and hid in." ”
"Inside the door was an empty room, and it was not engulfed in darkness. Zhou Daoyou and I went to the door to parade in the dark with countless hideous monsters, almost frightened! ”
Gu Liang silently counted the hours, she had been in the Tao for thirty-five hours, and one more hour was the fourth day.
If the third day is a condition, then ......
Mo Daoxian continued to tell that after the night walk, the two of them met with the cult cultivators several times.
But the other party didn't seem to have any intention of killing them, but just didn't allow them to approach.
The two were lucky to survive for a month, but a few days ago, Zhou Daoyou accidentally took Zhang Daoyou's back road and also disappeared suddenly.
Through his mouth, Mo Daoxian knew that Zhang Daoyou was all true.
Moreover, there are invisible humanoid evil creatures wandering in the Dao, and as long as they meet certain conditions, these humanoid evil creatures will appear and use the rules of the Dao to kill them, that is, "disappear".
"You've probably encountered this evil creature once, right?" Gu Liang looked at Mo Daoxian's face with two empty eyes, and said.
Since he was using the rules of the Labyrinth of Destruction, then Mo Daoxian's injuries could also be explained.
Mo Daoxian nodded and said with a wry smile: "I violated some of the rules, so my legs and eyeballs were taken away." ”
"Oh." Gu Liang responded, and did not ask him in detail what the rules were.
The two fell into a brief lull, and the atmosphere became a little delicate.
Gu Liangmo held his thumb to the Qiankun ring, and after pondering for a moment, he looked at Mo Daoxian and said slowly: "You haven't seen the Minghui City Lord here. ”
Mo Daoxian nodded and affirmed her: "No." He was gouged out and his eye sockets were facing Gu Liang, "By the way, Gu Daoyou has been here for a long time?" ”
Gu Liang didn't answer his question, and said another sentence, the same affirmative sentence and tone: "You have met a cultivator of the evil cultivation organization, and more than once. ”
Mo Daoxian's expression gradually changed, he obviously felt that Gu Liang's two words contained a mystery, and replied cautiously: "Admittedly. ”
"So, where did the missing Minghui City Lord go?" Gu Liang looked at Mo Daoxian and asked.
Mo Daoxian looked stunned, and then he said, "I don't know. However, we can also connect with the outside world in the labyrinth, so he knows what is going on and probably won't set foot here. ”
"Yes." Gu Liang repeated meaninglessly, she looked at Mo Daoxian, and a strange smile appeared on her face, "If Minghui wasn't here, where would he be?" ”
Mo Daoxian was a little panicked, he swallowed his saliva, and pretended to be calm: "Maybe he's here, but I didn't meet him." ”
Gu Liang smiled again: "You're all right, the labyrinth is so dangerous, he cherishes his life, how could he come here to seek death for no reason?" ”
Mo Daoxian couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Gu Liang was buying in the gourd, he slowly stepped back a little, and asked vigilantly, "What do you want to tell me?" ”
Gu Liang said: "It's nothing, I just think it's a little weird." ”
"From the time we started talking to the present, you have told me everything about what happened in the labyrinth, and you have to think about things outside the maze before you can answer."
"You know that I came to investigate Minghui's disappearance, but you have a lot of trivial things happening in the maze with me, and you repeatedly mention the word three days to distract me."
Mo Daoxian frowned: "Do you want me to tell you directly that I was coerced by Minghui and forced to come here to explore the way for him?" The labyrinth is dangerous, and I tell you this to repay you for saving your life......"
Gu Liang interrupted him and said, "Don't mention these for the time being." It's only been the third day I've been here, and it's a coincidence that I've been following you all the way to find you seriously injured and unconscious. ”
Mo Daoxian said: "Maybe it's such a coincidence, you can't use it as your excuse." ”
Gu Liang chuckled: "Hehe, your cleverness lies in the fact that you chose Mo Daoxian as a disguise, even if you talk nonsense, you may be able to successfully deceive me." However, you failed precisely because you chose Mo Daoxian. ”
Gu Liang looked at the guy in front of him who was dressed in Mo Daoxian's skin, and sold a pass very leisurely: "Do you know why?" ”
"Why?" The other party asked very honestly.
Gu Liang said: "Mo Daoxian, as the head of the sect, has just obtained the eleventh-level demon beast inner pill, he was threatened by Minghui to set foot here, wouldn't he have made sufficient preparations in advance?" ”
The other party looked dazed, and he didn't know how Gu Liang's words were related to his failure to disguise.
Gu Liang saw that he couldn't figure it out, so he simply picked it out and said: "In short, Mo Daoxian knows that this trip is very dangerous, and he will prepare very means, such as pills, talismans, and array plates. He was seriously injured, and he still had time to crawl into this room, wouldn't he have a chance to feed himself a healing elixir? ”
"Even if Mo Daoxian's hole cards are used well, he is powerless to heal himself, so he can only lie here and resign himself to fate. So, when I came and saved him, would he really be grateful to me and even tell me about his chance? ”
Gu Liang's face showed a faint sneering look.
"Whether Mo Daoxian is a monk of the same realm as me, or the head of a faction, even if he is seriously injured and rescued by me, he may not tell me in detail what happened to him."
"Being able to defeat his senior brother and become the head of a faction, and being able to practice to the late stage of Jindan within a hundred years old, Mo Daoxian is definitely not an innocent and kind character. He knew that Minghui and I were both disciples of the Qiankun Sect, and he had an enmity with Minghui, no matter what I came from, he would be wary of me, this is human nature, and it has nothing to do with good or evil. ”
Gu Liang cooled this monster in human skin, and continued: "If the labyrinth is really like you, Mo Daoxian can use his familiarity with the labyrinth to form an alliance with me. In this way, he will be able to stand on an equal footing with me, instead of being subject to me, worrying at all times whether I will abandon him. ”
In the end, it was the monster who was too eager to pull her into a trap, and did not understand the nature of human beings to seek advantage and avoid harm, so that they betrayed themselves.
Mo Daoxian has been crawling and rolling in the cultivation realm for decades, even if he is a stupid Bai Tian, he should know that the heart of defense is indispensable, and it is impossible to be stupid enough to abandon all his advantages.
If the monster disguised person is the city lord Minghui, based on the premise that the two are brothers and sisters of the same family, Minghui is out of the rules of the labyrinth, although Gu Liang does not believe in all of it, but he will believe part of it, so that he will not only be vigilant and suspicious when facing Mo Daoxian.
Yes, this is where the monster failed to choose Mo Daoxian, because it was difficult for Mo Daoxian to win Gu Liang's trust.
So, why did Gu Liang choose Mo Daoxian as a wise choice, isn't this contrary to her law?
Not contradictory.
Just imagine, Gu Liang originally came to find Minghui, she happened to find Minghui's footprints, happened to find Minghui in this room, and happened to know the third day...... Where in the world is there such a coincidence?
Of course, if the monster acted, he could disguise it seamlessly, and Gu Liang couldn't sit here safely and show off like a villain who was about to receive a boxed lunch.
"I see." After Gu Liang's explanation, the monster completely thought clearly, he looked at Gu Liang, and a red soul fire suddenly jumped in the black hole's eyes, "No matter who I disguise myself as, I have to be trusted by you!" ”
"In a way, it can be. If you can't be trusted by me, even if you brag about it, I won't be led by you because I trust my subjective judgment. Gu Liang said.
The old machine spirit had warned her before she fell asleep that the destruction of the labyrinth was inhabited by all kinds of creatures that could not be controlled by common sense, and once she stepped into it, the only thing she could believe in was herself, and she must not be easily influenced by the thoughts of others.
"Ding! Congratulations to the players for uncovering the monster conspiracy, obtaining the secret treasure 'Monster Perfect Disguise' and the key to another big world, and have a great time! ”
At the moment when Gu Liang's words fell, the monster suddenly exploded, turning into countless points of light and disappearing, leaving only a snow-white mask with the unique luster of the secret treasure and a piece of emerald carved leaves in place.
At the same time, a curtain of light rises in the room, detailing the identity of the monster and the trap it has set.
In short, this monster has a unique creative power, and it has carefully prepared a script for Gu Liang, once Gu Liang enters the role and worries about something unnecessary, the fake play will be real.
On the contrary, if Gu Liang cooled the script, but did not enter the play, and exposed the loopholes in the script, then the monster would become the party that bears the price and was obliterated by the rules of the maze.
Gu Liang picked up the mask, and a piece of information also flowed into her knowledge, which was the introduction of the mask.
No matter who wears it, it can be disguised as another creature, including some of the opponent's abilities and vague memories, and there is no guarantee that the mask wearer will have the same strength as the disguised person, and there is a certain chance to trigger the "Speech Spirit" secret art.
However, once the disguise is revealed, the mask wearer will be randomly cursed by the mask depending on how much it has been detected, and the most terrifying curse can even kill instantly.
Thinking that he was finally developed, Gu Liang: "......"
What the hell is this!
