endless route.

Chapter 405 15. Bring back harvest and intermission

The stalemate in the field continues. Except for the ghost generals and the skinny living people, no one can see the mystery of the game, nor can they see any abnormalities, nor can they figure out the behavior of both parties.

The skinny living man sat in the broken box, holding the porcelain bottle in his hand, with disheveled hair and an expressionless face, looking directly at the ghost general in front, and remained motionless for several minutes.

Several ghost generals stood aside with knives. They no longer used their knives to chop at the skinny living people. They just stood quietly without making any warning gestures, as if the crisis in the scene was over.

"If there is no danger, look in other directions." Zheng Yun thought for a moment and gave the order to the ghost general.

This is a command that contains a question, and it is also a common way for Zheng Yun and ghost generals to communicate. The answer to the question can be known through the reaction of the ghost general's command.

Wow.

The ghosts will be scattered immediately.

This action means that there is indeed no danger on the field, and the skinny living person in the box poses no threat.

"Master Immortal, what should we do, move the skinny living person back to the Heavenly Palace? Verify the identity of this person first?"

Ji Dao asked Zheng Yun.

"You can try and let the ghosts come."

Zheng Yun looked at the skinny living person on the screen, and always felt that there was some secret hidden in this person. Not to mention why he was lying in the ancient ship, there was another mystery to his immortality technique.

These ancient ships were suspected to be related to the wreckage of the boat master in the distance. In addition to him and Zhou Jiu, there were five non-human heat sources in the ancient ships, and there was also a hidden danger of Master Shan around them.

The center of various clues.

They are all this skinny living person.

I don’t know if he can speak. According to Ji Dao, if he is really from the Ghost Suppression Division, then there is a high probability that he will not be able to speak human words and will not be able to directly know the truth.

Let’s move elsewhere for now.

Check later slowly.

Following Zheng Yun's order, several ghost generals immediately started to rummage through the broken pieces of the buckle box, found the wooden board at the bottom of the buckle box, and then stood in twos to lift the wooden board directly.

An emaciated living figure sat on a wooden plank.

The ghost general's move was like lifting a stretcher, completely lifting a skinny living person and moving it to the outside world.

The skinny living man remained motionless.

It was as if he was not a living person at all, but a clay statue or a living corpse. There was not much thought left, only his last breath and a certain obsession in his heart.

But it’s hard to tell from the appearance.

There were so many tricks of gods and ghosts in ancient times that without careful study for a period of time, no one would be able to tell what this skinny living man was, or even whether he was a human being.

"Do you want to draw the sword?"

Ji Dao subconsciously let go of the hilt of the sword and asked the ghost general to lift the skinny living man, and looked at the ghost general to ask for their opinions.

Immortal Corpse also let go at the same time.

The two long swords were still pierced into the body of the skinny living man, one was inserted deep into the arm, and the other was inserted into the hip joint from the lower back. The sword blades were shining brightly under the searchlight, and a little blood spilled out.

This scene looks a bit weird.

It seems that the skinny living man is an ancient ascetic, and also like an ancient treasure, with mud all over his body and hair scattered, being carried by four ghost generals and brought back to the heavenly palace from the depths of the ancient ship.

"Don't pull it out unless it's fatal."

Zheng Yun gave the answer on Guijiang's behalf.

Jidao Xianzhi's method only limited the opponent's movements. Although the two long swords penetrated the body, they avoided all vital points. It looked very scary, but in fact they were just some flesh wounds.

None of these injuries require blood pills.

The sores can be cured by the Heavenly Palace Gold Medicine.

This move is also for prevention. If the ghost general's judgment is wrong and the skinny living person has other hidden dangers, even if there is another change in the field, the two swords can suppress it.

Ji Dao’s previous reminder was not unreasonable.

The skinny living man may be the ancient ghost suppressor, but he may also have other identities, or be controlled by Master Shan.

The situation here is complicated and confusing, and there is an ancient Taoist temple site below that is related to Daomiao Zhenren. Many mysteries have not yet been solved, and the flaws cannot be exposed lightly.

"so be it."

Ji Dao nodded and went to help the ghost general.

They need to hang the wooden board on the climbing rope to make a simple platform, and let the Yin soldiers above pull the wooden board and the skinny living person directly to the top of the cliff.

"Take it back on Saturday too."

Zheng Yun looked at the other side of the screen.

Zhou Jiu, who had been subdued before, was still under the control of the Yin soldiers. Compared with the skinny living people, his treatment was not as optimistic. He was tied up by the Yin soldiers and suppressed on the floor.

Zhou Jiu has a mouth.

If the skinny man can't speak, then start with Zhou Jiu and find a way to pry his mouth open for torture.

The bandit Zhou Jiu has lived in the ancient ship for eighteen years. He must have known a lot of secrets until he has survived safely in the dangerous land of ghosts and ghosts, otherwise he would have been killed early by numerous threats.

Think of this.

Zheng Yun couldn't help but think of Kedester, who had been delirious in the Extreme Cold Mountains for twenty years, but still knew nothing about the Cold Immortal. Behind this was the trick of the older generation of sea guards.

The situation on Saturday was very similar to that of Kedester. He was also crazy and acted abnormally. It is difficult to say what happened next.

"Okay, I'll take some of those porcelain vases back and test them with chickens and ducks first to see if they're toxic and see if I can find out their origins." Ji Dao took charge of the operation.

Although there are still mysteries yet to be solved.

But now it was harvest time. Ji Dao led the Yin soldiers and ghost generals to carry various trophies from the ancient ship back to the cliff, and moved all the way to the safe area deep in the Tiangong.

This time is relatively relaxing.

There were no twists and turns on the road.

The underground lake is brightly lit up and down the cliff, and hundreds of Yin soldiers holding lamps and torches illuminate the underground lake in a warm yellow color, escorting the Ji Dao ghosts all the way back to the heavenly palace.

People on and off the screen also relaxed a little.

This is the intermission time during the exploration process. Everyone can leave their posts for a while, deal with personal problems, and wait for Ji Dao to settle the funeral arrangements before exploring.

"Master Immortal, it's getting late. There's only half an hour left before nightfall, and the rain will get heavier and heavier."

Zhang Ergou fetched a warm basin and stove, lit a fire in the commander's corner, and sent the little Taoist priest to the Tiangong to fetch a water stove and water, and put it on the stove to boil the water to make tea.

"Indeed."

Zheng Yun turned his head and looked out the window of the command room.

The clouds above our heads became even darker. Earlier, we could still see the thin and uneven outlines between the clouds. As the sun set and the light source disappeared, the clouds turned into complete darkness.

The raindrops didn't stop for a moment.

The rain curtains outside the door and window of the command room became more and more dense, and the sound of rushing was endless. With the sudden and sudden cold wind, some raindrops splashed in and filled with cool air.

"This village is located halfway up the mountain. There are steep mountains in all directions. Sometimes the wind can be quite scary. The night we suppressed the bandits, I didn't sleep well the whole night."

"There are frequent earthquakes near Qianxiantai. I have been afraid of high mountains since I was a child, for fear that the mountains would collapse and bury people. Later, after asking the bandits, I learned that there have never been earthquakes here."

Zhang Ergou waited for the water to boil and asked the little Taoist priest to carry the kettle to Zheng Yun's side. He placed several exquisite tea bowls and asked the little Taoist priest to make tea. First, he filled the tea cup in front of Zheng Yun.

"You are very particular."

Zheng Yun watched the whole process of Zhang Ergou boiling water and making tea, and said something gentle or serious, which was regarded as a compliment to him.

Because Zhang Ergou is very cautious.

There are many steps to boil water and make tea. Zhang Ergou only brought some firewood, and let the little Taoist complete all other operations, and all the stove and tea sets were fetched from the Tiangong.

Even the water is bottled water stored in the secret realm. It is neither the well water of Wuhaixianzhou nor the lake water of Tiangong.

This is obviously Zhang Ergou trying to avoid suspicion.

He was now possessed by an evil spirit, and his whole body was filled with a sense of death. If he boiled water to make tea himself, others might not dare to drink it, for fear of being infected by him.

Although Ji Dao also stayed with Zhang Ergou for a long time and had never been exposed to anything weird, Zhang Ergou still avoided it.

It makes sense for the little Taoist priest to do it. They had just come from Tiangong and had not been in contact with Zhang Ergou for a long time. All the tea sets were clean.

"There is obviously something wrong with the water in this mountain. I didn't know there were ancient boats soaking in the underground lake, nor did I know about the Taoist ruins in the depths. Otherwise, I wouldn't drink a sip of the water here."

Zhang Ergou sighed and blamed himself.

It is precisely because he has been possessed by evil spirits and experienced the exploration just now that he is highly vigilant and suspicious of water sources.

The entire village is fed by well water, and needless to say, those wells must all lead to underground lakes.

It means that for such a long time, he has been drinking the water of soaking ancient ships. Not only are there rotten ancient ships, but there are also bandit Zhou Jiu and skinny living people eating, drinking and loosing in the lake.

Zhang Ergou felt sick when he thought of this.

With Bandit Zhou Jiu's appearance, where could he throw his Lazarus? Expect him to use a chamber pot to pour it outside the cave?

There was also the pile of rotten linen.

The linen was hung to dry in the ship building, absorbing the moisture in the air and condensing into the dark liquid. Whatever the porcelain bottle could catch would be caught, and whatever could not be caught would be merged into the lake.

In addition, Mr. Shan is hiding somewhere, as well as a lot of messy Wan Yi, and a large number of fish and small animals.

This is no ordinary lake.

It's clearly a Gu pond.

"..."

Zheng Yun didn't say anything. Zhang Ergou was really unlucky, and people didn't know what to comfort him, because when he left supplies, he left a lot of bottled water for him.

It was also his own doing.

Simply not comforting.

You will gain wisdom after every encounter. It has not been long since Zhang Ergou came out of the mountain. Although he is a Taoist priest, he has never been to other dangerous places, so some mistakes are inevitable.

In addition, this tea cannot be drunk.

Bottled water is still simple and neat.

"Are we looking for other heat sources?" Nia asked while looking at the screen and tightening her tight clothes. She didn't wear much before coming out, so she felt a little cold after dark.

"They're not moving at all, are they?"

Zheng Yun looked back at the thermal imaging picture.

"No, not moving."

Nia shook her head. She kept staring at the heat sources on the screen. The five non-human heat sources were distributed in various places on the five ancient ships. There was one hidden deep in each ancient ship.

Nothing changed from beginning to end.

Even with the intense fighting above, these non-human heat sources did not react, as if they were not living creatures.

"These things are very strange."

Zheng Yun looked at it carefully for a moment. The temperature of the heat sources was similar to the human body temperature, and the difference was only a few degrees.

But it's really not human.

Some heat sources are larger than people.

But since they are not humans, what are they? An ancient ship can easily make people think of the ghost figurines. A deep-sea floating boat suppresses a ghost figurine in the center.

Triton has this kind of method, and also likes to use ancient ships as prisons. Are they also something that Triton controls?
The probability is high.

It should be nine out of ten.

This is purely based on experience. As they explore more and more dangerous places, their relevant experience becomes richer and richer, and they are no longer just newcomers.

"Maybe it's something evil."

Nia also expressed similar views. She was also a witness to the floating city in the deep sea and saw the ghostly figurines in the ship with her own eyes.

But if so.

Things are a little weird.

It's easy to imagine.

"Since it's not moving, there's no rush."

Zheng Yun glanced at it and saw that the thirty Yin soldiers who had entered the ancient ship earlier were still scattered throughout the ancient ship.

You can let them slowly approach these non-human heat sources, first explore the surrounding situation, become familiar with the nearby environment, control the positions of several heat sources, and occupy favorable terrain.

Then wait for the ghost general Ji Dao to come back.

Without their presence, there would be no control over the evil beings. Not to mention killing the evil beings, they would not even be able to stop them from escaping.

"Are you going to find out the ancient ship tonight?"

Nia asked a little surprised.

From what they said, Zheng Yun just came here today. From beginning to end, he had already completed a lot of exploration in just a few hours, with very high speed and efficiency.

For Western expedition teams, a large and dangerous area may not be accessible in ten days and half a month, let alone half a year. It would take several months to check the information, which is simply not possible at this speed.

But the exploration is done in one day.

This speed is too scary.

Because being too fast is definitely not a good thing. Dangerous places are dangerous places, and accidents can easily happen if you are not careful. In Nia's heart, she would rather go slower than go too fast.

"If we don't check it now, what if the evil creature runs away?" Zhang Ergou spoke first, looking at Nia and asked back.

"It's not a good thing to run away..."

Nia spoke her true thoughts, but stopped abruptly in the middle of her words, realizing the biggest difference between the Western explorers and the Sensians, and why they were in such a hurry.

For the Western expedition team, it was a great good thing that the evil object escaped. They wished that the evil object had escaped quickly, leaving only a treasure house full of ancient cultural relics for them to transport.

Although this rarely happens.

But everyone is looking forward to it.

The Jianxian Division is completely different, or perhaps the goals are different. The target of the Jianxian Division is first the evil objects, and then the treasures in dangerous places, and even the latter can be eliminated.

Even if you get nothing.

The evil thing must be killed first.

Therefore, Zheng Yun and the others were very efficient every time, and could even stay up for dozens of hours before the matter was completely over.

When they were in the Deep Sea Floating City, they landed on the island at dawn, and it was only morning when they saw Goode Manor. Then they chased them from the manor to the second camp, and then to the bottom of the rift valley.

When it's all over.

It's already the second day.

Dozens of continuous hours of high-intensity exploration, fighting against traps and forces, solving puzzles, killing evil objects, and capturing explorers, all without stopping for a moment.

All done in one day.

This is Jianxiansi's style.

It seemed that the same was true today. They would not rest until the exploration was over. Zhang Ergou's reminder of the time just now was just a reminder, and he had no intention of stopping.

Not finding out the truth.

I don’t know how to kill evil things.

They just won't stop.

And she is currently helping Jian Xiansi work, and she will probably receive the same treatment. The disadvantage is that she can't sleep, but the advantage is that the truth about the entire underground lake will be revealed soon.

Think of this.

She looked sideways at Zheng Yun, paused for a moment and said to Zheng Yun: "My clothes are very thin. It's a bit cold now. It may be even colder at night. I want some clothes."

"Go get a coat."

Zheng Yun turned his head to look at Niya, glanced meaningfully, and then spoke to the little Taoist priest neatly.
