50% for option 1 and 50% for option 2.

……

[Option 1]

[Immediately go to the rescue of Xiang Renjie]

[Option 2]

[Hide in place and wait and see]

……

The long-lost equalization. The number of votes has been fluctuating around 50%, and it is impossible to tell the winner.

Zheng Zhuo couldn't make up his mind for a while.

(Rescue is key, and hiding is key...... ）”

Zheng Zhuo decided to hide himself with grass and trees while going into the depths of the mountains as quickly as possible.

Rustling.

He put his hooks back on his waist and pushed the grass away with his palms.

He's traveling a little slower than an all-out sprint, but he's making less noise.

Not much.

The grass and trees in the forest are gradually thinning, and there are traces of burning and felling.

In some places, the vegetation is still abundant, while in others it is relatively spacious. All the trees have been pruned in a strange way, and the branches have become unbalanced shapes.

And through the pruned branches, Zheng Zhuo saw a thatched house from a distance.

There are also people living here?

Zheng Zhuo's first reaction was "Orion's hut again", but after a closer look, he noticed something different.

There is a courtyard surrounded by stone mortars, looms, peeling racks and other objects.

It looks like a long-term home.

Zheng Zhuo walked around the trimmed grass and trees, not daring to step into it rashly. He didn't know anything about Qimen Zuodao, but he was still worried that it was some kind of strange formation.

Suddenly, he heard voices again.

"Hey! Feed! Zheng Zhuo! ”

"Uncle Xiang!?"

A sound coming from a very close distance.

"Where are you?" Zheng Zhuo looked around and shouted.

No matter how you look at it, you don't see a human figure.

"I hear you—I'm in front of you! Yes, face here – reach out! ”

Zheng Zhuo stretched out his hand.

Suddenly, a big hand appeared in front of me from among the grass and trees.

Zheng Zhuo was taken aback. The big hand took his hand and tugged hard. He subconsciously stood firmly-

Whoa!

Xiang Renjie jumped out of the forest and fell in front of Zheng Zhuo.

After not seeing him for a few days, Xiang Renjie's face was slightly blue and a little weak, but there was no major problem on his body.

Zheng Zhuo looked at the place where Xiang Renzhuo came from. Although the vegetation is dense, there is much more than a person walking in it without being able to see it.

And Zheng Zhuo didn't notice him at all just now.

"Uncle Xiang, what's going on?" Zheng Zhuo helped Xiang Renjie up and hurriedly asked.

"There's a [Lost Array] in here." Xiang Renjie stood up with Zheng Zhuo's shoulder and said, "This is one of the tricks of Qimen, mostly in the mountains, forests and valleys. There is a sign inside, and when you enter, you can stare at the mark, and you can get unobstructed. When I left, there was no sign outside, and no matter how I walked, I couldn't get out. ”

Qimen is so powerful! Zheng Zhuo saw it with his own eyes this time, and was secretly surprised.

"Since this place is so weird, let's get out of here." He said.

"No...... No. ”

Xiang Renjie gasped and shook his head.

"Do you know who set up this [Lost Array]?"

How would I know? Zheng Zhuo shook his head and said he didn't know.

"Twenty years ago, the Huashan faction and the Five Poisons Sect fought at Pearl Peak, and the former head of the Huashan faction fell in this battle, and the mother of the Five Poisons Sect, the 'Five Flowers Mother-in-law', also fell off the cliff, and her life and death were uncertain."

"Who would have thought that she was so old that she was seriously injured and fell off a cliff, but she didn't die!" Xiang Renjie said, "She went all the way down the west corridor from Pearl Peak, and actually lived in seclusion in the 100,000 mountains outside Luoling - I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." ”

Xiang Renjie sighed.

"I expected that the valley was inaccessible, so I threw the [Guiyijing] here, but I didn't expect it to be lost in the place where the 'five-flower mother-in-law' hunts and planted on weekdays. I met her in the valley the other day. She took out the transcript of the Sutra - the [Guiyi Sutra] was actually picked up by her. ”

Xiang Renjie was full of emotion in his heart, but he didn't pay attention to it, and told him that he was looking for [Guiyijing].

However, Zheng Zhuo already knew.

"She offered to return the [Gui Yi Sutra] to me, but the original scroll was in her house, and she asked me to come into her house and get it. I came here according to her words and deeds, and I saw that this was the [Lost Array] from the outside, and I thought that I had also practiced the [Guiyi Sutra], and it was not difficult to break the formation, so I ventured into it after observation. ”

"After entering, I realized that this Mother-in-law Five-Flower's [Lost Array] had entered the realm of transformation, which was a combination of [Eight Strange Formations], [Hundred Flowers Shadow Array] and some other formations that I had never heard of, and I expected that what she learned from the [Guiyi Sutra] was far beyond my reach."

The two of them walked around the formation and walked out.

Xiang Renjie continued: "What's worse is that I rummaged inside and outside the thatched hut, but I couldn't find the [Guiyi Sutra] at all. It's really hard to say what the mother-in-law is calculating. Thanks to seeing you appear inside, I was able to get out. ”

"Let's get out of here first. I need to rest and prepare, find some tools to help break the formation, and then come back to investigate......"

The trees are dense and the roads are narrow. Xiang Renjie said in front, Zheng Zhuo walked behind, nodding.

Xiang Renjie was very nervous, but in comparison, Zheng Zhuo was fine.

(At least the Unification Sutra is nearby.) Zheng Zhuo thought to himself, "(I'm afraid that I won't find it.) This next person is here, and [Guiyijing] is also there, as long as you find the right opportunity for the two of them to meet, you can pass the test. ）”

The two of them just had their own thoughts and walked for a while.

Gradually, something was wrong.

“…… We should already be out of the field, right? ”

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Zheng Zhuo asked.

It's weird. He definitely hadn't been walking that long when he entered. That's enough time to leave twice.

Xiang Renjie's face became more and more ugly.

"Could it be, the inner formation, the outer ......"

Suddenly.

Grass and trees rattle.

Among the grass, he coldly stretched out a crutch and hooked Zheng Zhuo's ankle.

"What-"

"Zheng Zhuo!"

Suddenly, there was a clever force in his feet. Zheng Zhuo was dragged to the ground and pounced, and fell into the bush in Xiang Renjie's shouting.

Smack.

He walked through the bushes.

The world is spinning. The strangely trimmed trees appeared in front of me.

It turned out that they had been walking for so long, and they were still spinning in circles.

"That's right."

The old man's voice came from beside him, and Zheng Zhuo looked up sharply.

He saw a white-haired old woman standing in the sparse forest in front of him. The old woman stood tremblingly with a cane in her arms.

"Thirty-six forms in the inner array, seventy-two styles in the outer array. If you want to come, you can go, the world's first [Lost Star Luo Array], isn't it a waste of fame? ”

This old woman is none other than the mother-in-law of Wuhua who trapped Xiang Renjie for several days.

Bang, bang.

Crutches knock on the ground. Mother-in-law Wuhua slowly walked towards Zheng Zhuo.

"I'm not afraid of you young people's jokes, people are old, and they always want to play with young people more."

"It's just right, so quickly this year, there are four people in the valley."

Mother-in-law Wuhua walked closer to the front with a "bang, bang". I don't know what kind of kung fu she used, she just looked at Zheng Zhuo with a smile, but Zheng Zhuo seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.

"Mother-in-law will play a game with you, and when the game is over, everyone will go back to their respective homes and be busy with their own work, which is good."

He looked into the arms of Granny Five-flower. When he got closer, he saw that the old woman was still holding a porcelain altar in her hand.

In the porcelain altar, there was a rustling sound of crawling and scratching.

"Don't be afraid, the juniors are willing to play with the elderly, and the old people always have to express themselves."

Mother-in-law Wuhua said with a smile.

"People who practice martial arts, what they want most is to improve their exercises by leaps and bounds, right? Come on, come on, there are four poisonous insects in it. ”

Drug addict.

Zheng Zhuo's back began to break out in a cold sweat.

"They are into the brain Gu, into the heart Gu, into the hand Gu and into the instrument Gu." Mother-in-law Wuhua said slowly.

"This is into the brain Gu, and the name is [Divine Achievement]. Those who receive Gu, [all exercises] will be able to see at a glance, and they will be able to understand it at one point, and they will be able to get started. It's just that the body is no longer completely controlled by oneself, Gu worms enter the brain, control thoughts, and have a great change in temperament. ”

"Into the heart Gu, the name is [Hundred Poisons Do Not Invade]. Those who receive Gu, the seven orifices and hundreds of bones are poisoned, the eight meridians and twelve veins, all of them are integrated, and the [internal and external strength] is completed to the state of perfection, and enters the body without leakage. It's just that Gu worms enter the heart, day and night like ten thousand ants devouring the heart, day and night can not rest, night can not sleep, life day, will be tortured by that day. ”

"Start Gu, the name is [See Blood Sealed Throat]. The Gu worm started, his hands and feet were sore, his body was full of pus, his face changed, and he was terrifying. But the Gu receiver can no longer feel the pain, and his courage against the enemy is unmatched. All [moves] bring Gu poison, when facing the enemy, if the Gu poison enters the body, the poison will fall to the ground, spasm and convulsions, and kill you on the spot. Of course, if you plant the other three kinds of Gu, you will only have mild symptoms. ”

"Enter the instrument Gu, the name is [Elective Devourer]. The Gu worm does not enter the body, but enters the [Blade]. The poison on the device, like a [Beginner Gu], sometimes acts on its own. It's just that the Gu soldier bearer can't have a moment of rest. As long as he was slightly distracted, the Gu soldiers would burst out and hurt the master, ripping off the flesh piece by piece, and feasting on it. ”

"The game that my mother-in-law wants to play with you is very simple."

Mother-in-law said.

"Each of you has picked a Gu seed, and each of you can advance by leaps and bounds and practice peerless martial arts. The four of you have a fight in this [Lost Star Luo Array], and whoever survives to the end will be able to leave with this divine skill—oh yes, my memory, you still want the [Returning to the One Sutra], right? And to you as well. ”

"How's that, it's fun, isn't it?"

Mother-in-law Wuhua leaned the jar towards Zheng Zhuo.

"You're the youngest, you choose first." She said.

……

How could it be fun. This old lady is simply crazy.

Cold sweat had already wet Zheng Zhuo's back.

Right now, this mother-in-law is staring at him, and he has to choose one - if he doesn't choose, he is not surprised that his mother-in-law will forcibly give him one.

But what did he choose?

Only one of them survived.

He can't die.

However, Xiang Renjie ...... Nor can I die!
