endless route.

Chapter 389 29. Going to Wuhai and returning to Fuen

When he walked out of the rainforest for the first time in a long time, Zheng Yunjidao felt a sense of comfort that he had not seen for a long time, especially when he saw the endless sea and rode the wind and waves in an assault boat.

But the good times didn't last long.

After only two hours at sea and the sea breeze blowing, they were forced to dock on the shore and dive back into the depths of the rainforest.

After putting away the assault boat and finding the off-road vehicle, the two of them followed the road to the ruins of the ancient city of Nanze. The vast field of vision was blocked by the rainforest, and dense tropical plants filled their eyes.

"Hot it, heat it, it won't be hot for a while."

Noriichi held a small electric fan in the passenger seat. The small blades were smoking, but they didn't bring much cooling.

"The temperature over Wuhai is very low?" Zheng Yun asked.

"It's very low. During this rainy season, it rains every day at high altitudes in the mountains. A temperature of more than ten degrees during the day is good. But when the wind blows and there's a cold wave at night, it's really freezing."

There was a sense of yearning in Jidao's tone. He had really had enough of the tropical rainforest, and it was still cooler over there in Wuhai Xianzhou.

"Will it be below zero?"

Zheng Yun continued to ask thoughtfully.

These questions of his were preparations for the early stage of the exploration. They were about to go to Wuhaixianzhou to explore the Shanlaoye and the ancient boat in the underground lake in the village. They needed to understand the local environment in advance.

"Probably not. I've never seen ice. After all, it's not winter yet. There should only be frost in the mountains."

Ji Dao touched his chin and recalled.

The winter in Wuhaixianzhou will be below zero, causing rivers and lakes to freeze, but that should be a month or two later.

"If there are any other situations, please tell them roughly." Zheng Yun nodded and asked Jidao to continue.

"The rain in Wuhaixianzhou is very heavy. It's rain like I've never seen before. It's like beans pouring from the sky. The rain rushes down the mountains that are often thousands of meters away. There are fierce waterfalls everywhere."

"The sound of the water was deafening."

"The noise makes it hard to sleep."

"Both ships, large and small, cannot walk."

Ji Dao recalled what he had seen and heard in Wuhaixianzhou before, where black clouds covered the sky and heavy rain poured down, and the sound of the waterfall was earth-shattering.

It also has a great impact on rivers.

Rainwater gathers into rivers, swoops down from thousands of meters high mountains, and crashes into the original large rivers. It will create a large number of turbulent whirlpools on the river surface, making it impossible for small boats to sail.

The big ship didn't dare to leave either.

The rapid whirlpool may not be able to drag the big ship to the bottom of the river, but it can make the big ship lose control of its direction. It will not be able to control where it sails, and it will collide with the rocks of the mountain and sink.

"How is the mountain road condition?"

"Are there any bridges in the mountains?"

Zheng Yun continued with doubts in his heart.

"Master Immortal, it depends on where the third road is. The mountain roads in the village are all paved with bluestones. As long as the wet mud and fallen leaves are swept away after the rain, you can go down the steps unimpeded."

"I'm afraid the muddy mountain roads in the mountains don't have such conditions. The rain brings down the mud and rocks, and there are a lot of plant branches and leaves. I'm afraid there's not even a place to set foot."

"As for the bridge, I haven't seen it before. There should be none near the mountain village. Wuhaixianzhou is full of mountains and rivers. The span of the river is like a natural moat. It should be difficult to build a bridge."

Ji Dao thought carefully and gave his answer.

He didn't know the purpose of Master Xian's asking these questions, but these questions obviously meant something.

"With all the land and waterways blocked, how should the telescopes communicate with the outside world during the rainy season? Do they stay at home during the rainy season and completely become a lonely city in the rain?"

Zheng Yun continued to ask questions.

No matter how bad Wangjing Dusi is, it is still a large ancient city and the orthodox capital city of the Ming Dynasty. No matter what it is now, at least hundreds of years ago, it was part of the Ming Dynasty.

With Daming's consistent style, how could he be trapped by a mere heavy rain? There should be a way to travel.

"I'm afraid this is really the case. Master Xian, you have never seen the heavy rain without sea with your own eyes. The vast land is shrouded in dark clouds. The clouds are so dark that you can't see your fingers. It's really scary."

"Besides, there is no need to travel during the rainy season. People will stock up on winter supplies in advance. Instead of venturing out during the rainy season, it is better to stock up on New Year's goods and spend the winter safely at home."

Ji Dao expressed his thoughts.

Ordinary people have no reason to go out during the rainy season, but this is not necessarily the case for ancient sea guards. They may go out during the rainy season, but no one knows what means they use to go out.

"Ah."

Zheng Yun didn't ask again.

The two drove the off-road vehicle forward, and finally arrived in front of the ancient city of Nanze before dark. Under the orange-red glow of the setting sun, they got off the car and walked through the rain forest to climb up the remains of the ancient city wall.

Still the same route as before.

First, drill into the sewers of the ancient city, drill in a circle to the ground of the ancient city, and then follow the blueprint to the commander's mansion.

No one can repeat this route.

Not only does it require a Triton badge, but it also requires the ability to handle mud deep underground, otherwise it will be impossible to enter.

Specifically, halfway through the route, Zheng Yun and Ji Dao will open the fairy gate, send a large number of Yin soldiers to dig out the mud, and pour the bucket of mud that fills a corridor back into the heavenly palace.

The corridor was more than 20 meters long and two meters wide and high, which meant a total of more than 80 cubic meters of silt.

And the silt is still pouring in.

In total, more than one hundred cubic meters need to be processed.

Without dealing with the sludge in the corridor, it is impossible to proceed to the next step, but with so much sludge, even if a truck is used, several trucks must be loaded together to haul it all elsewhere.

Pretending to be muddy is easy.

The key is where to pour it.

There is silt in all directions and it is filled to the brim. There is no place to deal with so much silt.

Only the method of Immortal Sect can quickly deal with the mud underground, just pull it to the Immortal Burial Valley and pour it down.

But it's also very time consuming.

Not an hour goes by without getting in.

Zheng Yunji said there was no other way. Although the current entry method was more troublesome, at least it was very safe.

If they build a convenient passage, there is a possibility that it will be discovered by Western explorers and archaeological teams. Instead of hidden dangers in the fairy gate, it is better to keep it in its current state.

So after two hours of twists and turns.

Zheng Yun and Ji Daocai finally walked through the mud and arrived at the attic where the Immortal Gate was located. They opened the door and got into the first floor of the attic. They pushed aside the obstacles, opened the floor tiles, and drilled into the underground tunnel.

Take out the waist badge and push open the mechanism.

The two arrived at Nanze Xianmen again.

"Master Immortal, I'd better go in and investigate first to prevent the people from Wangjingdusi from squatting near the Wuhai Immortal Gate."

Jidao took the initiative to invite Yingdao.

No matter how many times they enter the Immortal Sect, this process is essential to prevent the contemporary Immortal Supervisor from being directly destroyed.

"can."

Zheng Yun handed the backpack to Ji Dao and asked him to open the immortal gate in Qingchi and mobilize the means from Tiangong to explore the way to Wuhai.

Ji Dao set off immediately. He already had experience in doing this kind of thing, so he could use all the methods he could.

While preparing for Ji Dao.

Zheng Yun walked around the attic. This attic was deep inside the residence of the commander of Nanze Dusi and belonged to the Jianxian Division. A female skeleton was also found before.

There are also some antiquities and books in the attic. The situation is similar to that of the Tianji Lighthouse. They have been moved back to the Tiangong.

The attic was empty at the moment.

There are not many objects left.

But there are some secrets below the attic, such as the two corridors directly below the attic, one of which leads to the Immortal Gate, and the other leads to the iron cable bridge beneath the ancient city.

What exactly is a chain bridge used for?

Until now they didn't know.

Since the last time they walked on the chain bridge, they have never explored the chain bridge again. They don't know where the void bridge suspended in the underground mud leads.

We have to find an opportunity to go back and send someone to go around the chain bridge to see what is at the end of the chain bridge.

at the same time.

Jidao was ready, leading the cranes, ghost generals and various means, and was ready to cross the fairy gate and go to Wuhai. The strategy is exactly the same as last time.

Ji Dao Immortal Ghoul will pretend to be an ordinary sea guard, mix with a large number of Yin soldiers, and immediately disperse after emerging from the white mist of the Immortal Gate to observe the situation in the valley where the Immortal Gate is located.

It was pitch black in the mountains.

The rain is pouring.

Dark clouds hung overhead.

Can't tell the difference between day and night.

The thick rain came on the ground, accompanied by the sound of vegetation in all directions, pouring into everyone's heart and lungs.

The boundless cliff mountains towered under the night, their dark outlines slightly different from the sky, and the boundaries of the mountains could barely be discerned, like sharp swords piercing the dark sky.

"Be on alert."

"Never be careless."

Ji Dao sent people out of Qingchi and dispersed in all directions, checking for dangers step by step until the area around Xianmen was completely controlled.

The soil near the fairy gate is moist, and no footprints can be seen, only the footprints of some small animals coming to the river.

The crane took off and tested again.

No danger was found nearby either.

However, Jidao still couldn't rest assured, so he simply asked Hetong to ride the crane to the village, and first ask Zhang Ergou about the situation.

This matter cannot be taken lightly, and complete safety must be ensured before Master Xian can come over without any mistakes.

This is also Triton's practice.

From ancient times to the present, when court officials go to other places, they have sea guards to explore and clear the place. The higher the level, the more rigorous they are. The head of the Jianxian Division is the highest level.

To say the least is outrageous.

On the same level as the emperor.

It's just that the Supervisory Immortal Division is currently short of manpower, so the pomp cannot be large, otherwise the scene will definitely be earth-shattering.

The rain is not too heavy now, so there is no need for the mountain master in the village to be anxious. There is no harm in delaying for a moment. You can spend some time to circle around several nearby mountains.

Ji Dao himself took off on the crane.

Investigate risks in the mountains inch by inch.

This investigation took a long time, and Jidao actually found some clues. In a mountain to the west of Xianmen, a tree inexplicably collapsed on a platform halfway up the mountain.

And it's not washed away by rain.

The rainwater bypasses this platform, and the trees are not affected by the rainwater, and there are no traces of mudslides and landslides.

"It's really weird."

Ji Dao observed carefully for a long time, but he couldn't see why these trees fell down, and he didn't know if it had anything to do with people.

After thinking for a moment, Jidao decided to return to the vicinity of the Immortal Gate first and report the situation to the Immortal Master, who would then make the decision.

Tossing back and forth for a long time.

When Jidao stood in front of Zheng Yun and told about his experiences in Wuhaixianzhou, Zheng Yun didn't know what to say.

It has quite the style of a factory guard.

But Ji Dao was a little too suspicious. He would regard any slightest sign of trouble as an enemy and would investigate it thoroughly. Then Zheng Yun would not be able to enter Wuhaixianzhou for another half month.

"Go and have a look first."

Zheng Yun didn't think too much about it.

He entered the Immortal Sect wearing ordinary clothes with the Yin soldiers. Zheng Yun really didn't believe that Wangjing Dusi could figure out the specific identity of each person from a group of people.

In ancient times, there was the art of fortune telling.

But Wuhai Xianzhou is pitch black, and people cannot be distinguished from animals if the distance is more than fifty meters. Who can see the faces of all the Yin soldiers clearly, and face each other, and accurately identify themselves and Ji Dao?
"Master Immortal, why not do this? You go back to the Heavenly Palace to rest first. I will take the black jade pillow to Wuhai Xianzhou. When the village settles down, I will open the Immortal Gate to take you in."

Ji Dao still acted cautiously.

This is the safest way. Zheng Yun does not need to show up at all. He can go to the Tiangong to rest, and even return to the blessed grace to take a tour, and when he comes out, he has already arrived at the mountain stronghold.

Concealing the truth and secretly deceiving Chen Cang.

They had used similar methods before. Ji Dao rode a crane to fly thousands of miles at night, and Zheng Yun was in the secret realm just like flying on an airplane.

"Okay."

Zheng Yun sighed and returned to the Immortal Gate.

Looking at Ji Dao's serious eyes, Zheng Yun knew that he could not change Ji Dao's mind. He had his own rules in this regard, and he could not let himself take risks if he was not sure of safety.

To some extent.

Ji Dao is also correct.

Ancient people studied metaphysics, including not only the metaphysics of gods and ghosts, but also various theories of luck and feng shui.

There are many things that cannot be said.

"Then Master Xian, please come back. I will take the Xianmen to the stronghold right away." Jidao sent Zheng Yun into the Xianmen and returned to the Heavenly Palace.

It just so happened that I hadn’t had dinner yet.

Zheng Yun then walked to the attic of Tiangong, looking for Li Huawan and the others to see what they had eaten tonight.

After asking around, I learned that Li Huawan had been working at the pawn shop recently, and stayed at the pawn shop for food and accommodation. Unless Zheng Yun asked her to go to the Sutra Pavilion to read, she would not come back.

That group of deaf women was the complete opposite.

I would rather stay in the Heavenly Palace than go to modern times.

Since Li Huawan was at the pawn shop, Zheng Yun simply went to the pawn shop and asked the little Taoist priest to guard the door of the secret realm. Once Ji Dao opened the door, he would go to the pawn shop to notify him.

Cross the Fuen Fairy Gate.

Return to Forn City from the basement.

It is already spring in Fuen City, and there is still one month before the traditional New Year's Eve. Although it is evening, there is already a little warmth in the air on the street.

Modern cities are always bustling with people.

In the evening, the old street is even more full of fireworks.

Shops on both sides of the street have their signs lit up, and the aroma of hot pot and barbecue is wafting in all directions. There are many pedestrians on the street. High school students who have just finished school are riding bicycles and going home in groups.

It is different from the bustling environment.

The pawn shop was far from deserted.

The simple mahogany signboard does not glow, and there are no neon lights or exquisite display cabinets in the store door. Compared with the restaurants and cake shops on the left and right, the pawn shop seems to be closed and not open.

Zheng Yun walked around and walked to the main entrance.

The light in the shop is dim, and it is basically illuminated by the street lamp in front of the old locust tree, which illuminates a small half of the store.

At a glance, Zheng Yun saw Li Huawan. She was lying flat on the wicker chair behind the counter. From the outside, only her scalp could be seen, not even her face.

Go up the steps and take a look.

Li Huawan was in a dark corner, holding a tablet and watching some TV series. Her skin was already white, but when the tablet's light illuminated her, she even looked a bit dazzling.

I noticed someone walking to the door of the store.

Li Huawan raised her eyes casually and found out that the person coming was Zheng Yun. Then she struggled to lift her lazy body from the wicker chair, smiled and said softly to Zheng Yun:
"Master Immortal, you are back."

"The little Taoist said that you, a fairy queen, stay at the pawn shop every day and never go back to the palace. What have you been busy with recently?"

Zheng Yun looked at Li Huawan and asked.

She seems to be still preparing for 'blood donation'. She doesn't eat meat and only eats vegetables. She feels a little thinner. Her ancient curves, which were originally full of fairy charm, are as thin as those of female stars.

"Master Xian, you can ask Ji Dao what I do. He knows everything. Didn't he send someone to keep an eye on me?"

Li Huawan covered her mouth and laughed lightly, making a joke. Then, before Zheng Yun could say anything, she pointed behind her and said, "I have been helping people carve jade recently, and the business is still very good."

Zheng Yun looked sideways.

In the place where my adoptive father originally repaired watches, there was an additional workbench for carving jade, occupying a small corner, and there were many jade articles on the table, all of which had been carved.
