endless route.

Chapter 164 3. Multi-line Development
Zheng Yun was explaining the task in the old tavern on the main street of La Maine Town. The ten people he selected, together with Kedust, sat around a long and narrow old wooden table.

This room was originally the tavern-casino.

The texture of the old wooden table is blackened by the years, and the rough texture is full of knife holes. When you touch it with your hand, it gives people a strong sense of history, as if you have returned to the gold rush town in the gold rush era, and the people around you are players participating in the game.

The old chips in the wooden cabinet next to it, the debtor's name engraved on the wall, the coins left in the corner, and the target hanging on the wooden post all add to the atmosphere.

An old-fashioned chandelier hangs down.

Provides dim lighting for an old wooden table.

Light and shade poured on them, allowing these players who were hiding in the corner of the light to return to the game.

"My request is these."

After Zheng Yun finished his narration of the mission requirements, he leaned back on the old wooden chair, hid in the dark shadows, and looked around at the 11 people on the long table except himself.

The size is considered a historic moment. Although Ji Dao, who is keen to witness history, is not there, it is still worth commemorating.

Sit in the main seat by yourself.

The others lined up left and right.

Kadster sat at the first seat on Zheng Yun's left hand, unconsciously playing with a stack of chips in his hands, and his sharp eyes covered by the brim of a cowboy hat were also scanning his new teammates.

There is a very weird feeling.

There is a delicate connection between them. Although they met for the first time, they are closely connected and trust each other. They are not like ordinary teammates, but more like members of the same 'big family'.

Very weird.

Chilling.

It should be the effect of some kind of strange ability, Kadester looked around, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Where could Cass Irene go?"

Li Xiya pushed up her glasses and asked the first question. She was wearing a black fortune teller robe and sat at the first seat on Zheng Yun's right hand.

As the person who has explored the deepest place in the Underworld Pavilion, obtained the ancient books left by the Lord of the Underworld Pavilion, and also mastered the usage of ghost seals, and even has a deeper understanding, she is qualified to sit here.

Follow her questions.

Zheng Yun glanced at her sideways, with black hair, black pupils and dazzling white skin, and he was holding a set of Tarot cards in his hand.

She's a young woman with a collection habit.

She vaguely remembered that her divination shop was full of Western mystic items she brought. If she wanted to leave La Maine Town, she would need four or five off-road vehicles to take them all away.

"do not know."

Cadster frankly shook his head.

"Any clues?"

An old Westerner asked, he was wearing an old-fashioned gold mining vest, his white hair was tied behind his head with a rubber band, he had extremely deep eye sockets and bright eyes, he was holding a glass of foreign wine in his hand, and his fingers showed traces of playing the guitar.

Monoto, an old man who plays and sings old songs.

In fact, he is an expert in minority languages ​​in the West, with extremely rich experience, and a beneficiary of the gold rush. He has a rich legacy from his family of gold diggers.

"Not a lot, I don't know her very well."

Cadster smiled.

"As Gus Irene's ex-husband, you actually don't know anything about your wife and the mother of your child?"

another blond woman said.

False Damona, a travel writer, has been to all flight segments from E-07 to W-07, and has written several best-selling books. She is an independent western woman in her 40s with avant-garde thinking.

Speak with them.

Others also asked.

Zheng Yun looked at them one by one, and the next person to ask the question was a middle-aged man, a senior hunter and an expert in wilderness survival, with a dagger and an old-fashioned revolver pinned to his waist.

Then there is a young woman, she has no skills, the special thing is that she is from London, England, her only specialty is that her family is rich, and she knows nothing else.

However, her family is an emerging family in the 21st century. It mainly operates hotels and social media. It is richer than the old aristocratic upper class, but in fact it is not in the upper class.

In addition, this woman named Olivia has another characteristic. Nearly one-fifth of the residents in La Maine Town are hired by her to save her rescuers.

She has a hard time dealing with this problem.

Said she was guilty, but she paid people to hire people, and the rescue business has always been at your own risk.

Said she was innocent, but she concealed something and did not provide any clues, at least not fully.

In addition, the rescuers were all killed in the town of La Maine. She didn't actually give money, at least no one can get the money she gave.

So she was either a very minor crime, or she was the one who committed the most crimes and killed the most people in La Maine Town.

Fortunately, Zheng Yun didn't need to consider these trivial rules and regulations. The initial sentencing was done by Li Xiya, and when the final punishment was made, Zheng Yun used the local rules of the industry to judge the punishment.

Whoever commits a crime is responsible.

Repay him in his own way.

A simple but effective method.

As for taking them away this time, that has become Triton's rule again, as long as it can be used for oneself, the Han Immortal is an immortal.

Zheng Yun did have some fears about these people in La Maine Town earlier, not because of them themselves, but because of Wang Xi and their influence, which are completely controlled by the demon soldiers.

Turn living and socially-identified people directly into their own Yin soldiers, completely dominated by themselves, and can easily steal their wealth and everything they own.

Too weird.

It's too appalling.

Wang Xi's ability and potential are great, but it's a pity that the scope of use of Hou Xi is limited to La Maine Town and the vicinity of Hades Pavilion, otherwise the previous Hades Pavilion Master would have succeeded in rebelling.

If Zheng Yun was just an ordinary surrogate driver, then he wouldn't dare to drive these shady soldiers, especially Westerners with high status like Kadster and Ollifia.

It's a matter of social pressure.

It is also a moral issue.

These problems no longer exist.

He stood in the position of Haiwei Supervisor Xiansi. Due to the shortage of Haiwei's manpower, he had enough status, confidence and reasons to drive them.

And it's just an ordinary task of finding people, and it's not a big deal to send them to die in various dangers.

I watched them quietly for a while.

Everyone spoke and discussed on the old wooden table, and quickly established the direction to find Jiasi Erin, as well as the cooperation needed to complete this task, and the contribution that everyone can make.

As Zheng Yun's subordinate.

Their goals are the same.

As the owner of Wang Xi, Zheng Yun provided them with the opportunity to gain freedom, which should be cherished in the first place.

In the end, the plan they came up with was that they would return to the modern society to pretend to be scattered, and cooperate with each other in daily life to find Gus Irene and create public opinion.

Very reasonable plan.

Zheng Yun did not participate in the discussion throughout.

After they confirmed their plan, Zheng Yun provided some assistance and bought them a ticket to return to modern times.

Whether they are short of money or not.

But this ticket should be paid by Zheng Yun, and he will also bear any subsequent official expenses, until this organization hidden in Western society starts to make profits on its own.

In addition, Zheng Yun also had other considerations. Before he knew them well enough, he didn't intend to let them know the existence of the secret realm.

Late that night.

Several off-road vehicles left the town of La Maine and went to Enns Port, and everyone boarded a cruise ship one after another and returned to modern society.

……

end of August.

Zheng Yun walked off the cruise ship and set foot on the land of Fuen City again. The sweltering heat of summer still persists, and the summer of W-06 will last until mid-September, and there is still half a month left.

It was Zhang Ergou who came to pick him up.

Driving a pawn shop's pickup truck.

In fact, Zheng Yun and Ji Dao and Zhang Ergou met each other two days ago, but they couldn't buy a boat ticket to return to Fu'en City, so they could only go back to the pawn shop first through the secret realm.

As soon as Zheng Yun got into the car, Zhang Ergou looked sideways, smiled and said, "Master Zhang, Master Zhang died a miserable death."

"You deserve it."

Zheng Yun nodded.

They also went to the Pregnant Demon Tower in the Qianzhou Strait, went to see Zhenren Zhang and his uncle, and observed the situation of the sea monster. As a result, Zhenren Zhang and the others only had a few skeletons left. It stinks at the bottom of the pregnant demon tower.

As for the Kraken.

Might be a few years off.

The organs in the pregnant monster tower can provide some food for those sea monsters, and can also limit the scale of the sea monsters.

If the sea monsters are released, I am afraid that it will not take long before the number will double and continue to cause harm to the world.

"Master Ji went to the outside of Tiangong to look for alchemy materials. Hanxian confirmed that it's all right. I connected the solar panels the day before yesterday, and I can put the Hanxian ecological tank in another place."

"Caiduster's daughter came to our pawn shop yesterday. I don't know where she found it. I temporarily fooled her. How do you deal with it?"

Zhang Ergou talks about his work, similar to a secretary in modern society, but his expression and tone are like that of an eunuch.

"Let Cadster come over later to meet her daughter and bring back Gus Irene's notebook by the way."

Zheng Yun nodded.

Zhang Ergou couldn't be considered ugly, but Zheng Yun was still not satisfied with this secretary and planned to change it later.

Gotta find someone of decent background.

And at least it can hold up the facade.

While thinking about it, the pickup truck returned to the entrance of Jianghe Pawn Shop on Jinhuai Road. The fairy Li Huawan stood at the door early, staring at the pickup truck's trajectory with a pair of clear eyes.

"Is there any business for jade carving recently?"

Zheng Yun asked during the U-turn of the pickup truck.

"There are some, but not many. Do you want to promote it online? Master Xian, the fairy lady looks like a fairy. If you publicize it online, the business should improve quickly."

Zhang Ergou shrank his neck and said admonishingly.

Zheng Yun glanced at him. These people who came out of the Thousand Immortals Dojo respected Li Huawan very much. In their eyes, Li Huawan was an immortal fairy who had lived for hundreds of years.

Even Zhang Ergou, who is as active as he is, has no doubts about this statement. Maybe he had doubts in the Qianxian Dojo before, but Li Huawan no longer doubted it after entering the Tiangong.

The fairy can live in the attic courtyard in Tiangong, and there are maids to serve, obviously it has been authenticated by the Superintendent of Immortals.

Zheng Yun probably knew what they were thinking, but the mystery hadn't been solved yet, and he didn't know Li Huawan's background and what kind of secrets he had.

Moreover, she is a victim of the Pregnant Demon Tower, Zheng Yun can't lock her in the basement, and the maids are helpless, those deaf girls are used to it, and they won't be able to change it for a while.

next time.

Check out Li Huawan too.

"Ji Dao went outside the Tiangong area? Why did he dare to go out suddenly?" Zheng Yun continued to ask.

Outside the Tiangong area refers to the primitive forest outside the Tiangong complex, which is what Ji Dao said before, where there are creatures from the classics of mountains and seas appearing everywhere, and it is a very dangerous and terrifying place.

"Master Ji said that there is a colorful sky in the east of the Tiangong, and it is a good time to find medicinal materials. It happened that the funds you gave last time, Lord Xian, still had more money, so I bought two sets of chemical protection suits."

"Ji Ye said that this is what you mean, Master Xian. Everyone in the Supervising Immortal Division must seize every opportunity to improve their strength, and alchemy is one of them. This time, I plan to do a lot of refining."

Zhang Ergou smiled flatteringly.

Zheng Yun nodded. It was indeed his own words. The dark clouds of the ancient city of Red Mist loomed over their heads. Before going to explore, they had to improve their strength.

It's not just about opening a furnace to make alchemy.

All aspects must be improved.

There are still many development directions for Tiangong. For example, according to the Tiangong Immortal Art of Dragon Control, go to control other things. Zheng Yun can also participate in learning about this matter.

In addition, there are many ancient books handed down by Tiangong, including many Taoist swordsmanship and kung fu, which Zheng Yun plans to practice.

There is also Li Huawan, finding out her secrets and abilities may also bring about a great improvement.

Tiangong is a treasure.

There are so many things that can be developed.

However, Tiangong should also be a lost land. I don't know why it was isolated, and there may be some hidden dangers.

Except for the direction of Tiangong.

The pawn shop can also develop here, Jian Xiansi is very short of money, let Zhang Ergou sell the previous stolen goods quickly, and then see if he can do some shopping for antiques
The same goes for Li Huawan.

She got her ID card earlier, and as the inheritor of ancient jade carving, if she wants, she can make some money online.

As the head of the Immortal Supervisor, Zheng Yun himself travels in a pickup truck more than ten years ago, and occasionally has to go out for a run, so her immortal fairy can't eat and drink for free.

And there are all sorts of things.

The most important thing is the investigation of the ancient city of Hongwu. There are a large number of ancient books in Tiangong. In addition to the ghost stories that Ji Dao read as novels, there are also a lot of boring records that he has never read.

Maybe there is an ancient city in it.

It takes a lot of time to search.

The Western forces need to worry about it. Zheng Yun needs to understand every action of Kedust and others. If it involves the upper class of the West, he must be cautious in every step.

Newly created covert organizations also need to develop.

Zheng Yun also intends to scientifically study the individual cold immortals, and even study the Underworld Pavilion and the Pregnant Demon Pagoda, especially Wang Xi, as well as the blood monkey and blood pill in the Thousand Immortal Dojo.

These things add up.

Don't think about resting during this time.

While thinking about it, the pickup truck stopped at the door of the pawn shop, Zheng Yun got out of the car and walked towards the pawn shop, just as Li Huawan was about to say something, Zheng Yun's phone suddenly vibrated a few times.

A text message arrives.

The note is Xu Yu from the Cultural Relics Bureau:

【Come and sit down if you have time】

Zheng Yun was taken aback, and immediately turned around to look around, especially the corner across the street, always feeling that someone was watching him and controlling his every move.

But think carefully.

In fact, there is no need at all.

As soon as he came back, he would receive an incoming text message, and the information on the ferry ticket was also public in the eyes of the people. It was reasonable for him to take over from his adoptive father, so that he would pay a little attention.

Besides, Ji Dao and Zhang Ergou cooperated happily with them last time, so the Bureau of Cultural Relics would not send people over to monitor them.

This is also a development path.

You can really go and have a sit when you turn around.

"What are you going to say?" Zheng Yun looked at Li Huawan.

"I told Jiang Meng that you were coming back, and she whispered to me that next month is your birthday, and I hope you will spend your birthday in Fuen City before leaving." Li Huawan took out her phone and said.

"..."

Zheng Yun was slightly silent.

During this period of time, I seldom accompany Jiang Meng and interact with the family. Perhaps this is the reason why the adoptive mother dislikes the adoptive father, and I seem to be more and more similar to the adoptive father.
