Sitting in the car, it was a bumpy ride.
This time, Li Siming also came with him, so this time Xue Shan drove a seven-seater commercial vehicle.
He drove, Li Siming sat in the passenger seat, Ding Xiang and Gu Yuan sat in the second row, and the two Jianzong disciples sat in the third row.
As for Tang Wei and Zhao Jue, they actually want to follow, but Xue Shan and Ding Xiang are not here. If they leave too, the stronghold will be empty. If there is any unexpected mission, they will be in trouble if they can't make it back.
Dealing with the Demon Realm is important, but they cannot delay the things they are doing just because they are dealing with the Demon Realm.
What surprised Gu Yuan was that the Demon Realm of Leicheng was actually in a small and remote mountain village under the jurisdiction of Leicheng.
The economy around Leicheng has never been very good. After all, there are continuous mountains. Just like their destination this time, it is called Zhaojiagou. In fact, no one lives there anymore. Because of the demon realm, Zhaojiagou originally All the villagers have been moved away.
For the villagers of Zhaojiagou, this does not seem to be a bad thing. Without convenient transportation, the income level of Zhaojiagou has never reached the average level.
Today's Zhaojiagou is desolate as far as the eye can see.
It is said that relying on the mountains and rivers depends on the water, but with the development of the times, relying on the mountains and rivers can only be said to keep oneself alive and maintain the most basic order. But if compared with the outside world, it is really a cloud. Farewell.
Looking up, the houses in Zhaojiagou were dilapidated. Without anyone to manage them, the green plants were growing wildly, like a giant beast from the abyss, opening its mouth to devour the entire village.
At a certain stage in Gu Yuan's life, he once had an idea that he considered elegant, which was to "disband and return to the fields" after reaching a certain age and find a life in a mountain village where no one knew him.
Staying aloof from the world, you can leisurely see Nanshan Mountain, see the beautiful mountains and clear waters, and listen to the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. Life will have a unique flavor.
But then I thought about it, if I really lived in such a place, there would be no electricity, no Internet, no air conditioning in summer, no heating in winter, and the most terrifying thing is, there is no flush toilet even for pooping, so this seemingly elegant plan was dead on the spot. In the belly.
He has long been accustomed to modern and relaxed life, but he still can't completely abandon his comfort zone. He admits that he is a vulgar person, a person who has not yet escaped from vulgar taste...
This group of people actually set out at 7:30 in the morning, but by the time they arrived at Zhaojiagou, it was already 3:00 in the afternoon. Because they had to climb mountains and ridges, Gu Yuan and the others still walked for three hours on the mountain road. If it had been different Ordinary people may not be able to get there even if it's dark.
"The entire Zhaojiagou is already part of the Demon Realm." Xue Shan pinched his waist and rolled up his sleeves.
】
Gu Yuan was a little surprised.
"The entire Zhaojiagou...is a demon territory? But from the outside, it doesn't seem to be any different."
"Yes, if you look at it from the outside, this seems to be just an abandoned mountain village." Xue Shan said, "But as soon as you enter Zhaojiagou, the situation is different."
Gu Yuan looked around and was suddenly surprised to find that he didn't see anyone from the Demon Suppression Department guarding this area along the way.
"Normally, no one would come to a place like this where birds don't poop, and most people can't get in." Xue Shan explained this.
"Can't you get in?" Gu Yuan was confused.
Xue Shan said happily: "You will know when you go in."
Gu Yuan was not in a hurry, but found a high place and carefully observed the terrain.
After all, the information we have is limited. Although we don’t know what will happen after entering the demon realm, it certainly won’t be a bad thing to observe the terrain before entering the demon realm.
Zhaojiagou is located in a stepped terrain. The layout of the buildings that have been covered by green plants seems a bit confusing, but they have a different kind of beauty.
There is also a broad lake at the bottom of Zhaojiagou. On the opposite side of the lake, there may have been acres of fertile farmland, but now it is overgrown with weeds and blooming with mountain flowers.
Now in this season, other places have begun to wither, and only here the vitality is strong, which makes Gu Yuan suddenly think of the demon domain of the Yang Family Courtyard that he has experienced before.
It is also covered with green plants and has strong vitality. It seems that wherever there is a demon realm, it is particularly suitable for plant growth. Could it be that this demon realm can be some kind of wonderful catalyst?
Gu Yuan and others were now at a high place, with a wide field of vision, and could even take in the entire Zhaojiagou. At this time, Gu Yuan was surprised to find that in the center of Zhaojiagou, amidst the lush greenery, It was actually surrounded by fields of fiery red flowers.
"That's..." Gu Yuan opened his mouth and frowned slightly. The fiery red flower field looked particularly dazzling among the greenery.
"Where is that place?" Gu Yuan asked Xue Shan.
"The former school in Zhaojiagou." Xue Shan said.
Gu Yuan nodded.
Li Siming glanced towards Gu Yuan and coughed lightly.
"It's getting late, hurry in, solve it early, and we can go back early."
Gu Yuan also gave up the idea of continuing to ask.
Captain Li is afraid that Xue Shan will reveal more information!
at the same time.
The two disciples of the Sword Sect stood in the distance and looked at Gu Yuan, their faces full of doubts.
The girl named Zhang Xin asked curiously: "Brother Hao, do you think this young man named Gu Yuan can really solve the demon realm? The demon realm in Leicheng is not simple. Previously, our sect master and the masters of the Demon Suppression Division There is no way to solve it even if we work together.”
"Is there any specialization in the art?" Hao Jie smiled and said, "The strength of our sect master is naturally hard to say, but our sect master is a swordsman after all. When it comes to slaying demons, it is certainly not a problem, but sweeping away The Demon Realm is another story.”
"Since our sect leader and the experts from the Demon Suppression Division can't do it, then why can he?"
Hao Jie sighed and explained: "Because he is extraordinary and his profession is a priest, and the most special ability of a priest is that he can sacrifice demon souls. This is a bit complicated to say..."
It was obvious that Hao Jie had really done his homework. On the other hand, Zhang Xin knew nothing about the extraordinary priest.
After listening to Hao Jie's explanation, Zhang Xin's expression changed.
"Senior Brother Hao, are you saying that even extraordinary people who become priests will not end up well?"
"According to my understanding, this is indeed the case, but... maybe there is something special about Gu Yuan?" Hao Jie's ability to think independently is quite strong.
He felt that Li Siming should value Gu Yuan very much and could not ignore this. Moreover, the "shaman" plan had been stopped before because the harm to the priest was too great.
It is even more impossible to restart now.
It's just that Zhang Xin didn't seem to listen to this. When she looked at Gu Yuan again, there was more sympathy in her eyes.
"Gu Yuan is really... so pitiful!"
