endless route.

Chapter 391 1. The Immortal descends to earth and returns to Wuhai
Facing the evening street scene of Jinhuai Road, Zheng Yun had dinner with Li Huawan behind the display cabinet of the pawn shop. The warm yellow soft light from the street lamps reflected on the store, and the cool night breeze blew through his body.

The finished takeout box was placed casually on the table. Zheng Yun lay on the recliner and chatted with Li Huawan next to him. He had not experienced such a soothing and peaceful moment for a long time.

Originally, Zheng Yun wanted to go to the hospital to see Jiang Meng, but news might come from Jidao at any time. He only had this short rest time before he set off for Wuhaixianzhou.

"Master Immortal, where is the protective jade?"

Li Huawan looked at Zheng Yun's neck.

"Still."

Zheng Yun knew that what Li Huawan was talking about was a gift she gave him, a protective jade plaque that she carved herself. It had a hollow structure with three layers inside and outside, and the design was exquisite.

"That's good."

Li Huawan smiled and nodded.

"What's the mystery behind the jade tablet?"

Zheng Yun asked out of curiosity. There seemed to be something hidden in the core of the protective jade tablet. It was suspected to be a supernatural item, but Li Huawan had never mentioned the strange ability of the jade tablet.

"Nothing, just for protection."

Li Huawan shook her head and lay curled up on her side in the wicker chair, resting her face on her hands, staring at Zheng Yun's face all the time.

"Ah."

Zheng Yun didn't ask again.

He closed his eyes and rested under Li Huawan's gaze.

He was not used to Li Huawan's gaze before, because Li Huawan always stared at people intently. Sometimes he could stare at people for several hours at a stretch, staring straight at people with his bright eyes.

It always feels weird.

But later I learned that Li Huawan only stared at people because she couldn't hear and had to read lip language to communicate with people.

She was afraid of missing someone talking.

So he would stare at people directly.

Even if Zheng Yun closed his eyes to rest, Li Huawan would not look away. He lay quietly on his side in the wicker chair and looked at Zheng Yun quietly with his bright eyes, in case Zheng Yun suddenly said something.

Time passes slowly.

Two hours passed in a flash.

The little Taoist priest finally ran into the pawn shop from the back door and said that Ji Dao had arrived at the mountain village to confirm that it was safe. The immortal master could cross the immortal gate at any time and go to Wuhai Xianzhou to lead the exploration.

"Close the shop early and rest."

"Pay attention to your own safety."

Zheng Yun gave Li Huawan a few words, then stood up from the couch and led the little Taoist priest to the back door of the pawn shop.

"Have a safe journey, Master Xian."

Li Huawan stood up and lay down on the wicker chair to say goodbye. She looked at Zheng Yun's back quietly and watched him disappear from sight.

Until Zheng Yun completely walked out of the pawn shop, Li Huawan still didn't take his eyes back and continued to stare at the back door.

After watching it for another two or three minutes.

Only then did Li Huawan shift her gaze, first looking at the recliner where Zheng Yun had been sitting, and then at the takeout box on the table. Her eyes wandered for a moment, and finally landed on the table.

The light cast by the street lamp is mixed with the mottled shadows of the locust trees. On the transparent old display cabinet, a tablet computer is placed quietly, showing that the current time is one o'clock in the night.

Said it would be confiscated.

But it's still on the table.

Zheng Yun didn't take it away, nor did he lock it in the cabinet. He just put it on the table, as if he had forgotten about it.

Li Huawan quietly stared at the tablet.

My mind wanders and I don't know what I'm thinking about.

After a while, she stood up and knelt on the wicker chair again, hugging the back of the wicker chair and looking towards the dim back door where Zheng Yun left. Her long hair undulated slightly in the night wind, and her figure seemed to be frozen.

I watched it for more than ten minutes.

Li Huawan looked back at the tablet again, took a deep breath and struggled with her eyes, biting her lower lip lightly as if she was hesitating.

After thinking for a long time, Li Huawan finally made a decision. She reached out to the table, picked up the tablet with her long fingers, put the tablet in the locker under the cabinet, and locked it.

Then she pulled out a cell phone.

Skillfully unlock while lying on a recliner.

This is not a tablet but a mobile phone. It is not restricted, so it does not count as a punishment for disobeying the immortal master. You can watch it.

……

"Why did Ji Dao take so long? Is there really something going on over at Wuhai Xianzhou? What did he discover?"

Zheng Yun asked the little Taoist priest on the road.

"Master Immortal, Master Tao has been checking for danger, because after Master Tao arrived at the mountain stronghold, Mr. Zhang reported that Master Shan was moving. In order to ensure safety, Master Tao searched the mountain."

"After confirming that Mr. Shan was not hiding somewhere in the mountains and that it was impossible to sneak up on Master Xian on a rainy night, Mr. Tao felt relieved and opened the gate to let me come over and report to Master Xian."

The little Taoist priest quickly replied. After saying this, he took out a white robe and said: "The Taoist Master said that it is best for the Immortal Master to change into ancient clothes so as not to attract people's attention with his 'strange clothes'."

"can."

Zheng Yun nodded and put on his clothes, walked through the Immortal Gate and walked out of the Black Jade Gate, then went up to the secret realm of Qingchi. After one step, the world started to spin, and a cold wind filled with rain came.

"Welcome to the Immortal Master."

A voice sounded.

Before Zheng Yun walked out of the white mist of the Immortal Sect, he heard a lot of noises from the left and right. After Zhang Ergou let out an outrageous shout, the white mist in front of him suddenly slowly dissipated.

The white mist dissipated.

Clear sight.

The surrounding scene is revealed.

There is an ancient landscape corridor at your feet, and outside the fence in front of you is the vast mountain scenery with endless cliffs. Black clouds cover the sky and the sun for thousands of miles, and the rain falls like a waterfall on the mountains late at night.

There are no seas, immortal continents, mountains and rivers.

The field of vision is extremely vast, and the scenery is huge. Hundreds of mountains with a height of a thousand meters stand in all directions, piercing the sky with turbulent momentum, but are firmly pressed to the ground by black clouds.

Rain fell along the eaves above the head, and the raindrops turned into rain curtains, isolating the corridor from the outside mountain scenery.

Inside the corridor is an ancient landscape, with ancient stone brick fences and age-old black tiles. The houses behind them have been occupied by bandits for a long time, but are well preserved.

Two hundred Yin soldiers and ghosts will be lined up on both sides.

Jidao and Zhang Ergou stood behind him, one on the left and the other on the right. As Zhang Ergou finished speaking, uniform shouts rang out at the same time.

"Welcome to the Immortal Master."

"Welcome to the Immortal Master."

"Welcome to the Immortal Master."

Looking down at the source of the sound, I saw a group of bandits dressed in ancient clothes, who had been dragged here in the middle of the night. They were kneeling neatly on the stone bricks beside them, and they were shouting in a low voice.

"What's this."

Zheng Yun's face turned dark again.

What's going on? Just now, you said you were afraid of being discovered by Observatory Dusi, and now you're doing this? Co-author Ji Dao has been rehearsing this for these two hours?

"Master Immortal, you have to ask Zhang Ergou."

Jidao pointed at Zhang Ergou with a smile on his face.

"Master Dao, why are you just... Master Xian, that's it. Master Xian ordered me to come and suppress the bandits occupying this place. These people at my feet are bandits who have bowed to the Heavenly Palace."

"According to ancient laws, I should take the lead in welcoming the Immortal Master in person, so I asked them to kneel and kowtow." Zhang Ergou explained in a slightly panic.

It was indeed his initiative to propose this matter, and Jidao nodded in agreement, but he did not expect that Jidao would turn around and sell him out, so his explanation was incoherent and his words and sentences were a mess.

"..."

Zheng Yun could understand Zhang Ergou's words, but he was startled in the middle of the night, so he was looking for trouble.

"Master Immortal, after all, this place is an ancient place, and it is different from the modern world. Although Zhang Ergou's move is rash, it does comply with the laws of the ancient sea guards, and it should be done this way."

"Master Immortal, look at these bandits. Although they are trembling and frightened, at the end of this episode, they will definitely surrender to the Immortal Supervisor from the bottom of their hearts, and they will never have two minds again."

Ji Dao answered the call at this time to help.

The two of them sang together without mentioning the ancient laws. It seemed that in the world of Wuhaixianzhou, this should and must be done in order to facilitate the work of the Immortal Supervisor.

Hearing this, Zheng Yun looked at the bandits at his feet. There were thirty or forty of them, ranging in age from old to young. They were all kneeling on the ground without even daring to raise their heads. They were so frightened by his appearance.

It's true if you think about it.

Ji Dao and the others were not only putting on a good show for themselves, they were also using their appearances to give these bandits a lot of experience.

From the bandit's perspective.

Zhang Ergou called him here at midnight, and he knelt on the ground and waited quietly. Suddenly, a burst of white mist rose from the ground. After Zhang Ergou greeted the immortal master, the white mist suddenly dissipated.

This one lags behind.

But a young man in white robe appeared out of thin air.

This person is like a deity in the sky. The white mist is the magic in the sky. Once the magic dissipates, the deity comes down to earth and appears.

A puff of white mist blew in a big living person.

This is not what a deity descends from the earth.

Most of the two hundred dark soldiers and ghost generals wearing navy guard uniforms did not look like ordinary people. They also walked out of the white mist, as if they were heavenly soldiers and generals who came to control the scene first.

After the real god came down to earth, he stood neatly behind the god, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Zhang Ergou and Jidao, who were originally more powerful than the other, also smiled shyly at this god.

There were also cranes standing outside the fence, washing their bodies with rainwater. After the god appeared, they no longer behaved as playfully as before. They all stood straighter than the sea guards.

This is the deity descending to earth.

There is no second explanation.

Those kinds of strange phenomena cannot be seen in the mortal world at all. Only the legends of gods and ghosts circulated among the people have such magical magic.

As for the reason why the gods descended to earth, I am afraid it has something to do with the Master Shan who Ji Dao and Zhang Ergou have been looking for these days. This thing must be a monster that turned into a spirit and offended the gods in the sky.

"Are you going to do tricks with me?"

Zheng Yun's face turned darker and he asked Ji Dao in a low voice.

He was still wondering why the white mist of the Immortal Sect suddenly dissipated just now, but now he realized that this was a method specially designed by Jidao Zhang Ergou, and they collected the black jade pillow at a certain point.

In order to create a scene of gods descending to earth.

They actually even designed the black jade pillow carefully. When it is opened and closed, the white mist will rise and disappear, allowing them to appear out of thin air.

"Master Immortal, how can this be a trick? It is originally the magic of our Immortal Supervisor. Master Immortal is the head of the Immortal Supervisor. There should be such a pomp and ceremony to make the common people in the world feel at ease."

"If the Immortal Supervisor can't even compete with the gods in the sky, how can he supervise the immortals of the four seas, suppress the demons and ghosts from all directions, and allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment without being disturbed by ghosts?"

"The greater the grandeur of our Immortal Division, the more magical methods and shocking visions we have, the more we can reassure the people. Even if they move thousands of miles outside the territory, they can still farm in a down-to-earth manner."

Ji Dao quickly defended himself.

His rhetoric is obviously much better than Zhang Ergou. He is worthy of having read the ancient books of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and he has a lot of short words.

"It's just a lot of nonsense."

Zheng Yun scolded softly but did not hold him accountable.

Because although Jidao's purpose was to excuse himself, the truth he drew was correct, and Zheng Yun knew it.

Everything that exists exists for a reason, and this has always been the case in the Jianxian Division from ancient times to the present. The bigger the ostentation, the better.

It's not that the previous supervisors like to show off, but only by showing their abilities can the people feel at ease. The greater the ability shown, the more it can soothe people's hearts.

In ancient times, people who wanted to migrate outside the region often had to sail on the sea for months or even half a year. They traveled across the ocean day and night, facing violent storms and shocking sea beasts.

The end point is a strange place, a completely different environment from the earth. Even though the area selected by Triton has a mild environment, the monsters and ghosts in the mountains have never stopped.

Not only were they unfamiliar with the place, they didn't even have houses, so the people had to build everything from scratch.

Why migrate?

Why dare you migrate?

What are the benefits of migration?
The people must be given a reason.

The reason given by the Ming Dynasty was that people who migrated outside the region were exempted from agricultural taxes for the first thirty years of reclaiming wasteland, and the court was responsible for the expenses along the way, helping the court to build cities tenfold.

Within the migration area, the Ming Dynasty slayed demons and demons to ensure the safety of the people, and the Haiwei divisions would guard the four directions.

However, the East has not liked migration since ancient times. Unless famine breaks out in a disaster year, it will never leave its hometown. Even if all kinds of disasters come and go, there will still be very few people who take the initiative to migrate.

In the end, the court changed its approach and no longer gave various promises and rewards to the people. Instead, it asked Triton to create various fairyland and said that Triton would recruit people to accompany him when he went to the fairyland.

All kinds of scenes appear in turn, just to make the people believe that if they go to sea with Triton, they can live in a fairyland, have no shortage of food and clothing, and live and work in peace and contentment for a lifetime.

Wait until after migration.

Then fulfill the promised rewards.

It can be said that these people were 'cheated' away, but Triton did not make up lies, because Triton really thought so at first. Isn't there a fairyland beyond the fairy sea?
Over time, Haiwei Supervisor Xiansi has developed this habit. No matter where he goes, he must have some pomp and circumstance, especially when going to places outside the territory, he must show off his skills to the people.

It does mean to appease the people.

In ancient Eastern culture, the feeling of returning to one's roots and homesickness cannot be avoided. The common people are ignorant and deceived by sea guards. If they are not comforted, something will happen sooner or later.

Zheng Yun can understand this.

Ji Dao and Zhang Ergou created a "god" persona for themselves. Just like the common people in ancient times, these bandits were deceived by Haiwei into submission.

Who dares to disobey the gods?
Isn’t that rebellion against Tiangang?

There is no need to explain the difference between the Immortals and the Supervisors in detail to them, because they can’t explain it clearly even after a long time, and they will only regard the matter as factions and differences among the Immortals.

But the common people can tell one difference. The Immortal Supervisor is a deity subordinate to the imperial court and will protect the mortal people.

As for the gods, ghosts, and fairies in nature, there are all kinds of ghosts and ghosts, and many of them take the initiative to harm the people.

So the pomp of the Supervisory Immortal Division.

Even more powerful than the 'gods'.

Otherwise, how could the people dare to trust the Jianxian Division and trust the Jianxian Division to protect the people so that they can farm with peace of mind?

All in all, the behavior of Jidao and Zhang Ergou was not wrong in nature, and it should indeed be the case based on ancient laws, especially in the realm of Wuhaixianzhou.

Zheng Yun was just a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly, a group of people knelt down and kowtowed. No one was used to this thing, and they had to get used to it for a while.

But Zheng Yun also knows that this kind of thing cannot be avoided in the future. Since he wants to develop in Wuhaixianzhou, he must act in accordance with ancient laws. The laws of his ancestors cannot be changed arbitrarily.

He is the successor of the Jianxian Division, and the people of Wuhaixianzhou should trust the Jianxian Division and believe that the Jianxian Division can provide a stable environment and protect the people from wind and rain.

Not just believe.

It must also be done.

He needs to play his role.

Starting from Master Shan in front of him, the Immortal Supervisor must kill Master Shan to protect the safety of the people around him.
