Afterwards, no matter how Gu Shiyi tried to apologize or pretend to be crazy, the person in charge refused to let him go. He even called over a dozen fierce guards of the Gu family and picked Gu Shiyi out of the stone quarry. The remaining four people were taken outside to ride in a carriage.

Gu Shiyi sat in the carriage with a sad face, looking at the four people who were excitedly discussing how to spend the twenty taels of silver, and thought to himself,

"I really thought the twenty taels of silver were easy to get, but be careful if you take the life flower!"

Gu Shiyi was observing the terrain all the way, looking for an opportunity to escape. Unfortunately, ten guards were surrounding the carriage along the way, so she could not find any chance. After entering the archway at the foot of Gu Mountain, The scenery in front of me changed. There was fog all around. There were people in the car,

"It hasn't rained in the past few days. How come it's so humid in the mountains that it's foggy?"

Gu Shiyi sighed secretly,

"What kind of fog is this? This is clearly the formation to protect the mountain. If mortals like them enter the formation, it will be even harder for them to escape!"

Just like that, the carriage entered the mountain and walked along the road in the mountain for half an hour. Finally, it stopped in front of a large house. A guard knocked on the door to report.

"Please report to your lord, the person you want has arrived!"

The door was opened by a young man with a bun. Hearing this, he nodded and opened the doorway.

"The carriage comes right in!"

So the carriage entered the yard directly. Gu Shiyi and the other five people were called out of the carriage. The five people stood there looking at the big house in front of them in amazement.

It is said to be a big house, but in fact it is almost like a palace. From the outside, it looks like an ancient house in the mountains, but inside it looks like a palace. There are strange flowers and plants everywhere, and rare birds and animals, all of which are unknown to these country people. They had seen it before, so they were all excited and whispering to each other. Only Gu Shiyi was uneasy and had no intention of admiring the magnificence in front of him.

"You guys come with me!"

The young man led the five people through the long corridor and showed them so much that they couldn't even close their mouths. Gu Shiyi didn't dare to show off. It was too outstanding, so he followed a few others and looked surprised, but from the eyes of the boy who led the way, he could see a complex expression of regret and contempt in his eyes.

Gu Shiyi's heart sank, and he secretly paid attention to the way he came, but there was obviously a formation here. When he walked a while and turned back, the scenery behind had changed. Although she had some Taoist skills now, but here The cave of this kind of cultivator is no different from the mortals around him!

This feeling of powerlessness in which people are a knife and ax and I am a fish is really frustrating!

"After I leave here, I must find a great demon to learn from!"

Gu Shiyi swore secretly in his heart, then thought sadly,

"I don't know if I'll survive or not!"

Old guy! old man! You can't ignore me!

Just thinking about it, they walked for an unknown amount of time. After the boy in front led them through a moon gate, the scenery here changed.

"Ah...what...what's going on?"

After entering this small door, the scenery in front of you is very different from that outside. Outside are exquisite buildings and beautiful courtyards, but here it is as if it has just experienced a storm, with buildings collapsed, pools damaged, and trees lying on the ground. The ground, flowers and plants all withered...

If anyone talks too much, just ask,

"Brother, what's going on here?"

The boy rolled his eyes and said angrily,

"What kind of place is this? Is it allowed for you to ask? You should keep your mouth shut, finish your work, take the money and leave. Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked!"

"Yes!"

When the five of them heard this, their faces became solemn and they did not dare to say anything more. They just lowered their heads and followed the boy as he walked through the courtyard where a storm had just happened. Gu Shiyi had sharper eyes than them and could see at a glance the fallen people. Trees were uprooted by huge forces, and buildings were forcibly knocked down. It was obvious that a fight had occurred here before, causing such damage!

Gu Shiyi frowned slightly.

"There must have been a cultivator war here before, and the Gu family was invaded?"

Regardless of whether the Gu family is like a behemoth in front of mortals or a family of cultivation, since the ancestor of Nascent Soul, the Gu family has not produced any high-level monks. If it reaches the top of the sky, it is a late-stage foundation building family. Such a family of cultivation They are arrogant in front of mortals, but in front of real great monks, they are just a family that can be crushed to death with one finger.

And such destructive power is absolutely impossible for cultivators, so... the Gu family was broken into the mountain gate by cultivators?

However, looking at this situation, the Gu family should have repelled the intruders. Otherwise, the steward of the quarry and the boy wouldn't be so calm today, and would they be able to boss them around?

After the group of people walked through the courtyard, which was like a typhoon, they were taken to a small building by the young man. The young man said respectfully in front of the building,

"Master, we have already arrived!"

An old voice came out from the small building,

"Let them in!"

The boy responded with a yes, stepped forward to open the door, turned around and said to the five of them,

"Go in!"

The five people responded and walked inside. Gu Shiyi hesitated for a moment and walked at the end. When her legs stepped into the threshold, the boy outside closed the door of the small building. Gu Shiyi turned around After taking a look and looking back, the situation in the small building had changed again. The hall, which was originally just a few simple tables and chairs, suddenly turned into a long staircase, leading straight down. "Oh...this...this...what is this?"

Several people traveling together screamed. They were all ordinary mortals. They had never seen this kind of magical power before, and they became panicked. At this time, they heard the old voice say,

"You don't have to be afraid, just walk down the steps!"

There seemed to be some kind of soothing spell in his voice. After hearing this, several people immediately calmed down and walked down the steps involuntarily. At this time, Gu Shiyi could only pretend to be calm like them. followed and walked on.

The steps were very long, and they walked for a long time. Gu Shiyi felt that the steps seemed to go straight to the ground. However, there was no trace of impatience or panic on the faces of those people, and they just walked with calm expressions.

Finally, when the steps disappeared, there was a very wide platform in front of them, with a radius of about seventeen or eighty feet. The sparkling waves outside the platform seemed to be surrounded by water in all directions.

The terrain here is already very deep underground, but because of the blessing of the formation, the light is still as soft and bright as the outside world, so they can see very far. Gu Shiyi looked back and saw the steps from where they came. They were gone, as if they were on a small island in a huge lake, and an old man with white hair and beard was standing by the water with his hands clasped, looking towards them.

Seeing the grandeur of the old man, the five people knew that he must be a cultivator from the Gu family, so they all knelt down and called themselves "sir". Gu Shiyi also knelt down, and she knelt down willingly.

"I saw this old man's portrait once on the wall of the ancestral hall when I was a child..."

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he was one of his great-grandfathers. He had spiritual roots when he was young. After that, he entered Gushan to practice and was never born again. Let alone a mortal, even the Gu family rarely saw his true appearance. , Gu Shiyi thought he had died long ago, but he didn’t expect he was still alive!

Gu Shiyi's great-grandfather was very polite to people. He raised his hand to let the five people get up, and then said to them,

"I called you here today because I have something to ask you to do..."

Several people claimed that they could do things for you, but they didn't dare to accept the invitation and asked for your orders. The great-grandfather was not polite when he heard this and pointed to the water in front of him and said,

"Something fell into this, please go in and fish it out..."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and questions suddenly arose in their hearts.

"Just such a small thing, is it worth calling us to do it?"

Aren’t the people here all cultivators? We still need them. Aren’t the adults able to take things out with just a thought?

The great-grandfather of the Gu family seemed to have noticed what everyone was thinking, and instead of getting angry, he said to everyone in a friendly manner,

"The water here is different from the water next to it. People like us can't enter, only you can enter..."

"Oh……"

Everyone nodded regardless of whether they understood or not, and listened to him again,

"The water here is about ten feet deep. I heard that you guys are good divers. I think you can sneak into it... This is what you are looking for..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand behind his back and made a stroke in the air. A picture suddenly appeared in the air. The scroll was unfolded and a small bone appeared on it. Everyone squinted and took a closer look. Surprised, someone saw that the old man was kind and boldly asked,

"Sir, this... this looks like a bone..."

And there should be something's little toes, small, short and pointed.

The old man smiled and said,

"This thing is indeed a finger bone left by an ancient saint..."

"Oh……"

Several mortals who had never seen the world immediately looked shocked.

"Human bones!"

The old man said again,

"You don't have to be afraid. This is a relic of the ancestors. It was accidentally dropped into this water. If a cultivator enters this water, his spiritual energy will be immediately dispersed and the five elements will be disordered. However, if a mortal enters, it will be fine. You just need to Just sneak into it, find it, and bring it back..."

After a pause, he said again,

"In addition to the money they promised you outside, I will also give you a huge reward personally!"

His words immediately aroused the emotions of the four people. Think about it, can you get a heavy reward from Master Xiu Zhen, or a pill, or a treasure, which one is not worth more than twenty taels of silver?

So the four of them looked excited and started to undress.

"Don't worry, sir. Even if we risk our lives, we will take out this saint's relic for you!"
