Chapter 175 14. There is a fairy island in the fairy sea lake

Not only Zheng Yun raised his head, but everyone present heard Ji Dao's words and unanimously looked up, trying to find Ji Dao's figure in the 'mid-air'.

But they only saw that the night sky was dim, and there were obscurations blocking their vision, so they couldn't see anyone in the sky.

"Master Ji can fly?" Zhang Ergou asked first. Their first reaction after hearing Ji Dao's words was that Ji Dao could fly. Otherwise, how could he be in mid-air?

"Probably not. Let's go ahead and take a look."

Zheng Yun had lingering fears in his heart. He just casually fired a shot at the sky. Fortunately, he shot directly above. If it was true that he was floating in mid-air as Ji Dao said, then this shot might hit Zhong Ji Dao. It almost cost his life.

Everyone immediately stood up and moved forward.

Ji Dao said that he hoped that they would go forward along the iron chain to pick him up, then this is the last checkpoint, and there is no need for the wounded to return to Tiangong in advance, let's go back together later.

The ghost will still open the way ahead.

The procession is walking on the boulder beach.

Zheng Yun, Kaidester and the others kept their necks up and looked at the sky with binoculars, especially the huge rock wall to the left, trying to find Ji Dao in the most possible place.

But there was no one in sight.

Ji Dao definitely can't fly, Zheng Yun has never seen him have such a fairy ability, and even if Da Ming is supernatural, and then entangled with gods, gods and ghosts, Zheng Yun has never heard of it, what's the matter? People can really fly through the clouds.

What happened to Ji Dao?
With many doubts, everyone walked forward while holding on to the boulder. The light and shadow under the rock wall were dim, and the moonlight provided weak illumination. There were gravels under their feet. If they were not careful, they would step on the air or get stuck in the gap. Hold your ankles.

In particular, they were fully armed and carried a lot of things, gas masks, firearms and technological equipment, and at the same time they were leading a ghostly fairy with a fairy light.

This section of the road is not easy to walk either.

The forest on the right also needs to be watched out, lest any weird monster suddenly rushes out at this last moment.

Therefore, everyone was not walking fast.

Zheng Yun walked at the end with a jade lantern, surrounded by a ghost general carrying a transparent jar, while he kept looking up with a telescope, almost up and down.

But still no trace of Ji Dao.

Fortunately, Ji Dao should have also discovered that his walkie-talkie was broken, so he kept talking unilaterally to the walkie-talkie:
"Master Immortal, I can't go down well."

"If you can hear me and it's safe, you'd better come up here and help me."

Hear this.

Zheng Yun turned the telescope to the steep mountain ahead, looking for suspicious clues from high to low inch by inch.

After searching for a while.

He found some traces.

On the mountainside about a few hundred meters away, there are several openings similar to the windows of the corridor, which are opened in the middle of the bare and steep rock wall, like observation holes in the city wall built in ancient times.

Where is Ji Dao?

Why did he steal the dragon egg and make it to the mountain?Could it be that he was in danger and was forced to go up the mountain to avoid being hunted?

"Master Xian, are we going up the mountain?"

Zhang Ergou's expression changed. Just now, a large number of bats gushed out from the opening of the cave, and the blackness was frighteningly large.

"It should be."

Zheng Yun simply asked everyone to stop, and asked the ghost general to jump onto the platform again with the rope, preparing to pick everyone up.

But right now.

Kaidester suddenly pointed to the sky in front of him, and said in a surprised tone: "Is there a person hanging there?"

Zheng Yun looked in the direction of Kedester's finger. The place he was talking about was at the end of the boulder beach, and it was also above Xianhai Lake. It was still some distance away from the stone road along the coast and into the mountains, with a height of 300 meters. .

There was a dark shadow in the air.

Adjusting the binoculars to zoom in, the black figure had a round head and a round belly, and wrapped his body in a black night suit, which filled the ancient style of clothing to the full.

He was half-hanging in mid-air.

The body keeps swinging in the air, gaining some kinetic energy through swinging, and squirms quickly in mid-air...

It's Noriichi!
Didn't find him just now.

Then he just crawled over.

But he was actually hanging on a chain?

At a glance, one end of the iron cable is on the steep mountain on the left, and the other end extends to an island in front of Xianhai Lake. The length is amazing, and the color of the iron cable blends with the vast night sky, making it difficult to distinguish the boundary.

If you don't look carefully.

It was as if Ji Dao was flying out of thin air.

"How did Master Ji climb up?"

"Master Ji is really...a brave man with great skills."

Zhang Ergou and the little Taoist spoke one after another.

Everyone was stunned. They thought of many ways and had many guesses about Ji Dao's whereabouts, but they really didn't expect that Ji Dao would appear from this direction, or in this posture, in front of them.

It seems that the previous speculation was correct. Master Ji really went out to sea to the island in the middle of Xianhai Lake, but the method had nothing to do with the giant ao on the shore, but used a chain hanging in mid-air.

"There is something about this iron chain?"

Zhang Ergou frowned and said.

Looking at the style of the iron chain, it was obviously not made by Ji Dao in a short period of time, it must have been built by the descendants of Tiangong in ancient times, but why did they build iron chains to connect the islands?
Many Taoist temples from ancient times to the present have been built in such inaccessible and remote places. Many Taoist temples sit on the top of cliffs or in the middle of steep mountains.

This type of iron cable plank road is not uncommon. Even Zhang Ergou himself has walked on the iron cable plank road in the past.

But places like Tiangong actually have plank roads, and the plank roads here are probably different from other plank roads.

"Find the source of the iron chain first."

Zheng Yun didn't think much about it. The most important thing at this moment is to rescue Ji Dao. He should have crawled from the island in Xianhai Lake from low to high along the iron chain. Physical strength is more difficult to support.

Taking a closer look, Ji Dao didn't seem to even have a safety rope, or even a wooden pole in his hand. He was just like those Taoist priests in ancient times, who dared to climb up empty-handed.

But Ji Dao's performance is very down-to-earth.

He was squirming holding the iron rope at the moment.

He didn't know how long he had been climbing, but Zheng Yun estimated that he should have started climbing when he heard the sound of the walkie-talkie.

But judging from the speed of his squirming, Ji Dao's physical strength is very well preserved, and his speed is not slow at all. As he climbs up in a swish, it probably won't take long to reach the end.

"Go up first."

Zheng Yun looked at the ghost general beside him.

The latter immediately jumped onto the platform and pulled Zhang Ergou and others up to the first floor, taking their backpacks with them.

The path on the platform is easier.

Carrying large and small things, everyone walked along the edge of the platform to determine the source of the mid-air cable, which was fixed on a steep rock wall two kilometers ahead.

But the root of the iron rope.

No cracks in the mountain were seen.

This iron cable seems to be some kind of facility needed by the ancient port. Its purpose is not for people to walk.

Perhaps there is another possibility that this iron chain might be one of the organs used by Triton to lock some kind of monster back then.

In order to keep the Han Immortals at bay, and also to provide the Han Immortals with a place that fits the original ecology and is suitable for reproduction, Triton built huge institutions in the extremely cold mountains.

That day palace might have something similar.

There must be some secrets in the middle of Xianhai Lake.

"Master Immortal, I see you."

Ji Dao's voice sounded from the walkie-talkie at the same time, and he also saw a group of villains standing on the platform in mid-air.

Zheng Yun didn't speak, but was worried about how they could go up and take Ji Dao down. Fortunately, Ji Dao also said immediately:
"Master Xian, ask Lord Ghost to help you, come up and hang a rope on the iron chain, and I can slide down along the rope. There is a passage in the mountain to go up, and there is no trap inside."

Hearing Ji Dao's words.

Zheng Yun accelerated and led the people to run to the bottom of the iron rope in one breath. There were no cracks in the cave on this section of the platform. They climbed up three sections of the platform before they found the entrance to the cave that could enter the mountain.

In order to prevent monsters from hiding in the cave, Zheng Yun turned his head to look at the ghost general beside him, who immediately walked into it and struck the cave wall with a long knife, making a lot of noise.

wow.

A small group of 'bats' emerged from the cracks in the nearby rock wall. The number was not large, probably only a few dozen.

These things showed no aggression, but just passed over everyone's heads, so Zheng Yun did not intercept or kill them. Maybe their feces was some kind of precious fragrant sand.

Best not to kill.

Keep the fragrant sand.

"Use a torch to disperse it." Zheng Yun looked behind him and asked the little Taoist priest to take out the torch he had prepared in advance and light it.

wow.

Several torches were lit.

"You wait near the entrance of the cave, use the cold immortals to fend off the enemy, I will go up to meet Ji Dao." Zheng Yun looked back at Zhang Ergou and other wounded, while leaving two ghost generals to guard them.

"Master, be careful."

Zhang Ergou took the jade lantern and nodded.

Zheng Yun stopped talking, and led the other three ghost generals into the entrance of the cave, using torches to provide lighting, and continued to move forward along the deep cave, and soon saw man-made traces.

The marks are rougher.

Like a temporary tunnel.

Drilling tens of meters deep, a horizontal corridor appeared in front of it, and the end could not be found with a flashlight. It may be the passage used by the ancient port to transfer materials in the past.

Ahead is a stone wall.

Zheng Yun and the others could only look for the upward path in this horizontal corridor. Fortunately, the structure of this corridor is simple, and it didn't take long for them to find the upward steps.

The corridor became extremely narrow.

The steps under the feet are also of different heights.

At the same time, they also discovered that there were many skeletons of creatures on the ground in the corridor, large and small, piled in the corners. Some of them had even died recently, and there were traces of dried blood.

But until they climbed more than a hundred meters in one breath, they didn't encounter any danger. It is estimated that Ji Dao took the same road. He had already sprinkled fragrant sand to disperse the cave creatures.

Anyway, it's a safe journey.

It's just more physically demanding.

Several people continued to climb up the zigzag narrow passage, and arrived at a cave in the mountain. Going out along this cave is the edge of the rock wall.

There is a crack in front.

A little moonlight pours into the edge.

Zheng Yun quickly ran to the crack and looked at the outside world, only to find that they were about 300 meters in the air, the iron rope was still above their heads, and Ji Dao was hanging on the iron rope.

The distance between the two was less than a hundred meters.

No need for a telescope to observe.

But this way of meeting is too absurd.

"Master Immortal." Ji Dao spoke excitedly while holding the iron chain, the sky was high above him, and the iron chain swayed gently in mid-air without any wind, making people tremble with fear that he would fall.

"Let's find a way to come down and talk."

Zheng Yun looked at Ji Dao up and down. Only the mask of his chemical protective suit was left on his head. His clothes were in tatters and had numerous wounds. He didn't bring anything back with him.

It appears to have failed.

He didn't steal the dragon egg.

But fortunately, he is still alive, and most of his injuries are minor. If he goes back to recuperate for a while, he will have another chance next time.

"Just throw a climbing rope up."

Ji Dao nodded and said with a sigh of relief.

Zheng Yun immediately looked around, picked up a stone from his feet, tied it to one end of the rope, and asked the ghost general to throw the stone to the iron rope above, and then circled it in a circle.

Ji Dao climbed forward a few steps, grabbed the rope, tied a knot on the iron rope, lay down on the iron rope to rest for a while, then grabbed the rope and slowly slid down.

Zheng Yun held on tightly to the rope.

Let Ji Dao slide in front of him in one breath.

Not long after, Ji Dao succeeded in standing on the edge of the crack, and as soon as his feet hit the ground, he sat on the ground and gasped for breath:

"Master Xian, why are you here?"

"You went outside the territory for several days and didn't return. We came out to rescue you." Zheng Yun took out a bottle of water from his backpack and handed it to him, and then immediately asked: "Did you go to the center of Xianhai Lake?"

"I don't know what the immortal master is. There are 36 large and small fairy islands in the Xianhai Lake of Tiangong. They happen to match the number of heavenly gangs. The dragon lives on one of the islands."

"The descendants of Tiangong have been able to retrieve the dragon eggs from generation to generation, but I have only succeeded in retrieving them once in the past ten years. It is because I am not good at learning. Master Immortal, please do not misunderstand Tiangong."

Ji Dao was dejected and quickly explained.

"Then what is the tota giant ao by the lake? Why have you never heard of it?" Zheng Yun patted him on the shoulder and asked again.

"Master Xian, I don't know much about this matter. My master has never told me about this. I only know that Xian'ao worshiped in the Heavenly Palace hundreds of years ago. Things don’t recognize people, they don’t recognize me at all.”

Ji Dao looked strange and slightly embarrassed.

He is the descendant of Tiangong, he can't steal the dragon egg back, and the local things of Tiangong don't buy his face, and he is seen by the fairy, making him embarrassing for the descendant of Tiangong.

"..."

Zheng Yun took a deep breath.

Although they were all in line with his guess, it was still shocking to hear this explanation from Ji Daokou.

That Juao is really a thing of Tiangong, and there is a "seniority" in Tiangong, even older than Ji Dao's master's seniority, according to his seniority, he is probably Ji Dao's master uncle...

This incident reminds people of many stories in ancient oriental mythology, such as the Jiejiao in the legend of the gods, and the monkey's journey to the west, which has similar fragments.

This kind of legend.

It actually melted into reality.

Gives a strong sense of unreality.

But if you think about it carefully, it is natural for the ancient Ming Dynasty people to discover this 'dinosaur world' outside the Tiangong territory. The dinosaur world of the Orientals should be like the Classic of Mountains and Seas, with a little bit of Eastern immortals and Taoist legends added to it.

It is indeed quite reasonable.

Orientals have a world of dinosaurs suitable for oriental babies, but they can't be the same as Jurassic movies made in the West...

"What's in the tower on Xian'ao's body? What's the situation here? Is this an ancient port?"

Zheng Yun took back his thoughts and asked.

"Master Immortal, I really don't know much about the Immortal Ao. I only know that it can go to the main island of 36 Immortal Islands. It seems to have something to do with the immortality method among the three immortal arts of Tiangong."

"This is a simple boat port. I don't know exactly how old it is. I only know that it was built before Tiangong Patriarch decided to build that thatched cottage."

"Master Xian, since you are here, we may still go to Jiaolong Island to have a look. There are ancient buildings left by the ancient masters of Tiangong on the island, and there are newborn dragon eggs everywhere!"

Ji Dao felt unwilling.

He still wants to steal eggs again!
