Of course, Gu Zheng is not a reckless man, after all, he is just an eighteen-year-old child, and he also has his own gentle side, but it is covered by his hard and prickly shell.

Since his six-year-old mother fell unconscious, Gu Zheng has found it difficult to feel family affection, although there is Liu Yuntian in Liufu, but it is more malicious and ridicule from the outside world.

He has been sharpening his sword for ten years, showing his face every day in the martial arts arena of the East Desert City, where people come and go, and he has long been accustomed to those strange eyes, and at the same time, he has also cultivated a hard shell, hiding the tenderness in his heart very deeply.

It wasn't until he initially awakened the Xuanjian and left Liufu to come to Zilai Peak that Gu Zheng regained some of the gentleness in his nature.

Later, when he met Su Lizhou for the first time, although it was short, it brought him a warmth that he had never experienced.

After that, Gu Zheng had to meet a good teacher again, whether it was Li Tiangang or Fang Qingzi, they all regarded him as their own, and Gu Zheng's hard shell was softened again, but it was rigid and soft.

But Li Tiangang and Fang Qingzi are both strict teachers like mountains and mountains, and what they bring to Gu Zheng is more silent care than soft care.

What's more, as his strength grows, he has more enemies, so that shell can't be completely removed whether he wants it or not.

It wasn't until the year when he was trapped in the Dongxu Array Sect with Su Lizhou that Gu Zheng completely let down his vigilance and spent the happiest and warmest year.

After walking out of the Dongxu Array Sect, hostility was all over the world, how could Gu Zheng easily reveal the softness buried in his heart?

When he met Ding Mo, Gu Zheng was initially accepted as a disciple, but he was not familiar with it, and he had the majesty of being a teacher, and he couldn't get too close.

Only Ding Ling, an eccentric girl, allows Gu Zheng to completely let down his guard and treat him gently.

From the bottom of his heart, Gu Zheng also longs for such a tenderness similar to family affection, whether it is for himself or others.

Just as Ding Ling said unintentionally, Master is like a father, and he is willing to accept this rare friendship calmly.

Reckless men also have gentleness, not to mention, Gu Zheng has never been a pure reckless man.

Of course, Gu Zheng was afraid that he couldn't notice the change in his mentality, he just went with his heart.

That night, Gu Zheng took Ding Ling out of the tavern, and the little girl got a bone ring from Gu Zheng and had a lot of fun, which was full of candy and other food.

Of course, Gu Zheng would not take Ding Ling all the way, but arranged a teleportation array nearby, and after several teleportations, he returned to Snow Dragon Island.

handed Ding Ling over to Liu Luoqing to take care of, and Gu Zheng left.

There is a large island protection array on the inner island of Xuelong, if it is not for the formation master, ordinary people can't even find it, and it is safe.

Returning to the tavern again, Gu Zheng and the others did not stay any longer, and left the wasteland that day and entered the next city.

Only Bai Hua and Ding Mo did not enter the city with Gu Zheng and others, but were thrown into the mountains and forests outside the city where there were mysterious beasts, mainly to hone their swordsmanship and cultivation.

Gu Zheng's requirements for Ding Mo were very harsh, and he clearly said that he would not break through within half a year, and could only consolidate his cultivation to the realm, focusing on cultivating swordsmanship.

Ding Mo's talent is extraordinary, and he awakened the Xuanjian before he was ten years old, which is a good thing in the eyes of outsiders, and his potential is endless.

But in the opinion of Gu Zheng, who was able to awaken at the age of seven and took the initiative to suppress it to the age of sixteen, was too vain and rash, and his foundation was too weak.

In the following days, Gu Zheng and the others turned into mortals, walking slowly all the way, walking thousands of miles.

Along the way, when encountering famous mountains and rivers or magical visions, everyone will stop for a while, or drink freely, or visualize and cultivate, and everyone will gain a lot.

The scenery of the Western Regions is infinite, compared with the four seasons and small bridges and flowing water in the Southern Regions, it can be called magnificent and vast, which makes people always have a sense of relaxation and happiness.

Gu Zheng felt that while he was walking along the way, his mind was washed away.

He didn't deliberately cultivate or meditate, but only when he encountered something in his heart, he would stop and silently comprehend.

He has been shining with the sun and the moon on the top of the mountain, meditating in the deep mountains and old forests, dancing swords under rapids and waterfalls, or turning into ice sculptures in the ice and snow further north.

Traveling thousands of miles in this magnificent and vast place is enough to make people's hearts return to heaven and earth, and forget themselves all the time, this kind of mentality is the state of enlightenment that Xuanjian Master is quite eager for.

Of course, more often than not, they will go into the city and town, dealing with all kinds of human beings.

Gu Zheng will communicate with people in person, just like a mortal in the market.

Or sit and talk with the good debater, or drink and talk with the wise elderly, or feel the innocence of the child with the child......

At the same time, Gu Zheng did not let the five daughters of Baifeng and Ding Mo idle, they were more often sent out by Gu Zheng to do some acts of punishing evil and promoting good.

In the past half a month, Ding Mo has made rapid progress, and the two swordsmanship techniques have been small, taking the opportunity to kill, temper his mind, and have cultivated some refining evil qi.

As for those Xuanjian masters of the Stacked Waves Sword Mansion who were guarding the city, under the cover of Bai Feng and the others, it was difficult to catch up with their traces at all, and in the end, they had no choice but to stop.

As the January period approached, Gu Zheng and the others finally approached the Xuanbing Giant City with a caravan.

This caravan was the last one Gu Zheng encountered in the last Flying Snow City, and the caravan owner ran between the Flying Snow City and the Xuanbing Giant City all year round, transporting supplies.

Although he is only a condensing swordsman with exhausted potential, his business seems to be not small, and there is a team of guards around him, all of whom are meteorological realm martial swordsmen.

The boss Chu Sanfa is a fat man who looks very real, but when Gu Zheng proposed to go with him, the nature of this person's profiteer was exposed, and he accepted one hundred of them before agreeing.

It stands to reason that with Chu Sanfa's net worth, it is better to transport materials with bone rings, but this mighty snow wolf car with more than a dozen snow wolves can't help but make people suspicious.

In fact, this is not surprising, because what is hidden in these carriages is not dead things, but young and beautiful girls.

Gu Zheng once personally investigated, and there was a girl in every wolf car, the youngest was seven or eight years old, and the oldest was not an adult.

Moreover, every girl is extraordinary, and at least she can see that she has the potential to become a beauty.

This is the reason why Gu Zheng and others took the initiative to follow the caravan, there is something strange about it, and according to Ding Mo, it is very likely to be related to a major case of the disappearance of a young girl.

In recent years, there have been occasional disappearances of girls in the realm of Dielang Sword Mansion, and it is rumored that they are favored by the strong and recruited and trained in advance.

But most of those girls never returned, and they were never heard from, and gradually some bad rumors were born.

And looking at this caravan again, I have to be suspicious, they have found these girls from all over the Sword Mansion openly or secretly, and they want to send them to the direction of the Xuanbing Giant City, what are their plans?

Gu Zheng is not a nosy person, but since he is on the way, it is better to investigate.
