Chapter 409 19. Reasoning clues and hidden truths
"I remember that the red meat I found in the ancient city of Nanze was tied up with string and sealed in a porcelain vase. After being escaped from the porcelain vase, it could grow into a red snake monster, which was huge in size and had many tentacles."
"When the Immortal Master was tied up in the belly of the red snake monster, he was almost killed by the red snake. It was really thrilling."
"But I think the red meat in the iron coffin is slightly different from the red meat in the porcelain vase. It may be the same kind of evil thing. I have to go back to the Heavenly Palace to look through ancient books and compare it to find out."
"I remember that on the third floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, in the corner of the second floor, there is an ancient book that records red evil objects. It is called 'Shajiang Zhilu'. There are thirty volumes in total. You can try to find it."
Ji Dao looked at the picture and thought.
He had never seen such an evil thing before, and he had no memory of looking through relevant information. He needed to go back to Tiangong to check it out.
"Let the little Taoist go."
Zheng Yun nodded and sent someone back to investigate.
"Master Xian, Hongrou is motionless and seems to have no ability to fight back. What should we do next?"
Zhang Ergou frowned and asked.
From the first point of view of the Yin soldiers at the scene, the red meat still did not move at all. The linen was pulled out of the iron coffin by the iron hook, and the whole piece of red meat was unobstructed, like fermented bean curd in an iron box.
The red meat was motionless.
They are also difficult to deal with.
Even if you want to take the first step, you are still a little helpless. What should you do next? Take out the red meat? Or cut it with a knife? Or move the iron coffin?
What a headache.
This red meat has the feeling of a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, but the more it is like this, the more people are afraid of it.
"First determine what kind of meat it is."
Zheng Yun chose to slow down the pace of exploration.
This fact is really weird. The Ghost Suppression Division transports the ghosts to the Immortal Gate, but how many pieces of meat are they escorted?
What are the ancestors doing?
Are these pieces of meat ghosts? There are meat ghosts among the ancient monsters, but there are none as big as two cubes.
Sometimes I really can't figure out what kind of life the ancestors lived, what they were busy with every day, and how they came to focus on such weird things.
"I also know about the red meat in a porcelain bottle that you are talking about. The biologist of our expedition team said that the red meat in a porcelain bottle is the limb of a cephalopod marine creature and has the ability to resurrect."
"No matter how many parts it is broken into, it can grow back to its original shape as long as it encounters seawater with a temperature of minus 17 to 20 degrees and a salt content that does not exceed extreme values."
"But the red meat in front of us is different. Its temperature exceeds 30 degrees, which proves that the two are not the same."
Nia also recalled carefully.
They spent a year exploring the floating city in the deep sea, salvaged a large number of porcelain bottles from the seabed, and saw the red meat and black worms inside. Researchers in the same team also conducted a lot of research.
"Is it a marine creature? A marine creature with a body temperature close to that of the human body. What characteristics should it have?"
Zheng Yun nodded and continued to ask.
Temperature is indeed the key. The temperature of this red meat is too high to understand, with a body temperature of thirty-five or six degrees. In theory, it is almost impossible for it to be a marine creature.
High body temperature means high caloric consumption. The caloric consumption of such a large high-temperature creature cannot be estimated. In fact, there are not so many nutrients inside and outside the iron coffin.
It is similar to human body temperature.
But people have to eat three meals a day, and the foods they eat are high-calorie foods in nature, which provide stable nutrition.
It has no such condition.
But there is also such a high body temperature.
"I don't know much about it. High-temperature organisms usually have special heat supplies. I have seen an organism before that can produce high temperature and nutrients through fermentation in the body."
"But this is just a scientific guess. In this place and this environment, anything is possible. I'm not sure. I'd better let Ji Dao check the ancient information."
"Many creatures on the Endless Passage are beyond the scope of explanation of contemporary science and have abilities that are beyond comprehension."
Nia shook her head and did not dare to speak nonsense.
Science is science, but after all, this place is not an ordinary place, but a real dangerous place with ghosts and ghosts. The red meat is not an ordinary creature, but a ghost transported by the Ghost Suppression Department.
Something that can be targeted by the Ghost Suppression Division.
It must be a rare treasure in nature. Even if it is a living creature, it must be an incredible and strange creature.
"Master Immortal, you don't need to be too careful. Hong Rou is still sealed in the iron coffin to this day. The Ghost Suppression Division's transfer envoy has also survived to this day, which means that Hong Rou has not escaped from the trap."
"If Red Meat really has the power of heaven and can easily kill us, it would have broken open the iron coffin and escaped long ago, and the Ghost Suppressing Division's Transport Envoy would have been killed by this thing long ago."
Ji Dao speculated in turn.
Looking back from the results, the facts are as Ji Dao said, the red meat has not left the iron coffin, and the methods left by the ancestors have not failed, otherwise the red meat would have disappeared long ago.
"What you said is crucial."
“But I’m afraid that’s not necessarily the case now.”
"The sackcloth is probably the means used by the Ghost Suppression Department to restrict red meat. If it is uncovered by us now, something might happen."
Zheng Yun was awakened by Ji Dao's words, and the many clues he had obtained before were connected one by one, and the truth emerged faintly before his eyes.
There was a large amount of linen hanging from the ship's building, the porcelain vase that the ghost-suppressing envoy immediately mentioned, the mountain goods collected by Zhou Jiu and his son, and the fact that Zhou Jiu had been hiding in the mountains for eighteen years.
among these clues.
The most important thing is the ghost-suppressing transfer envoy.
Every move he makes may have a profound meaning. Even if he is exhausted and unable to speak, his reaction is crucial and is probably hinting and explaining something.
Ji Dao provides a direction.
It can also be said to be a bright light.
His logic is correct.
The Ghost Suppression Division's transfer envoy is alive to this day, sticking to the lock box on the ancient ship's dock, and not being harmed by the ghosts he escorted, which proves one thing, the ancient ship's ecology is balanced.
It can also be said to be a stalemate.
The Ghost Suppression Division's transshipment envoy cannot change the status quo, cannot completely kill the red meat, and cannot leave the vicinity of the ancient ship.
The situation here is different from that of Hades Pavilion.
Their previous guess was that, like the Hades Pavilion, the Ghost Suppression Department kept people guarding the place to monitor the red meat at all times.
But later investigations revealed that the skinny living man was not an ordinary ghost-suppressing department, but the ghost-suppressing department's transporter. His mission from beginning to end was not to guard, but to transport ghosts.
They will be completely different from ghosts.
He is no ordinary ghost suppressor at all.
The duty of the transshipment envoy is to transship. The fact that he is still guarding the ancient ship until now proves that the transshipment mission has not been completed.
The rules of the ancient sea guards were strict, and people should do what they were supposed to do, and it was impossible to overstep one's authority.
Since he is a transporter.
Then he is only responsible for transshipment, which is a dynamic task that must have a process and a result.
The ghost generals guarding the Hades Pavilion is a task that has already produced results. It is the finishing touch after the exploration. The boss ordered that they should continue to be on duty without a deadline.
The transfer envoy is different. There are only successes and failures in the transfer mission, and it is impossible to choose to be on duty for a long time halfway.
Once on duty for a long time.
It means the task is not over yet.
A salt-iron transporter can be used as an example.
In ancient times, if a fleet full of salt and iron was forced to run aground in a remote river, the transshipment envoy would send a message to find someone to rescue it. During this period, the transshipment envoy would guard the fleet.
There are two subsequent situations.
If the imperial court sends people to rescue, the entire fleet will be rescued. Even if the stranded ancient ship is damaged, at least the salt and iron will be transferred to other ships to continue escorting them to the target. If the situation is extremely dangerous and the court chooses to give up the rescue, the transfer envoy will bury the salt and iron, wait for the court to send troops to dig again, and transport the salt and iron away by other means.
There is another extreme situation.
The fleet transporting salt and iron lost its way or was completely trapped somewhere, unable to send out news. The court did not know where they had gone, so all the officers and soldiers on board could only stick to the fleet.
Now it seems.
The five ancient ships in front of him are very much like the last extreme situation. The Ghost Suppressing Envoy cannot spread the news. No one knows where these ancient ships are hidden, so he can only guard them.
Start from this perspective.
You can get a conclusion.
The transfer envoy from the Ghost Suppression Division must be forced to guard the ancient ship. This is a temporary process and does not mean that the entire transfer mission is over. His duty is a helpless move.
Think of this key.
You can distinguish between friend and foe.
The Ghost-Suppressing Transport Envoy is the escort officer.
Red meat is the prisoner being transported.
These are the two camps at this moment, in a delicate balance, and neither side has the ability to break the balance.
Transshipment renders incapable of continuing the mission.
Red meat cannot be freed again.
Combined with Ji Dao's logic.
Red Poultry has not escaped until now and is still suppressed in the iron coffin, which proves that the Ghost Suppressor and Transporter cannot be controlled by Red Poultry and cannot be contaminated by local evil spirits.
If the transfer envoy has been controlled by Guixi like the ghost generals in Hades Pavilion, the same situation as in La Maine Town will happen, and the methods of ghosts and ghosts will be revealed and innocent people will be harmed.
But it didn't appear here.
The bandits in the village are free.
No sign of evil contamination.
Therefore, the ghost-suppressing and transporting envoy is one of our own.
He and himself and others have the same goal, which is to control evil spirits, either successfully transfer them, or deal with them permanently.
He has been waiting for a result.
This is the reason why he persists to this day.
After the transfer envoy saw the sea guard official uniform, he did not resist at all, because he had no reason to resist.
Even though he was stabbed into the bones by Ji Daoxian's corpse, he did not struggle at all. Instead, he took the risk of being executed by mistake and picked up a porcelain bottle from the remains of the lock box.
This move means a lot.
What on earth did he want to express?
What did he want to say when he mentioned the porcelain bottle? What does the porcelain bottle represent? Is this his instruction to hand over the mission, his last words before closing his eyes completely?
What does the porcelain bottle represent?
Wasn't that what Zhou Jiu showed off?
What does this matter have to do with Zhou Jiu?
On the other hand, the identity of Zhou Jiu and his son must also be questioned. Are they the villains in this matter?
What is the purpose of Zhou Jiu and his son, as well as the previous leaders of this village, for their various actions?
They are helping to suppress ghosts and transport messengers.
Or are you helping Iron Coffin Red Meat?
It can be clearly observed that there are two factions in the ancient ship, one is the ghost-suppressing transporter, and the other is the red meat.
The protagonists of these two hostile factions are very obvious, namely the transporter and the red meat, but Zhou Jiu and others are not clear. What are they doing hiding in the ancient ship?
They cut open the iron coffin.
Take out the linen and dry it.
Porcelain bottles are also used to collect liquids.
It seems very much like they are seeking the benefits brought by the iron coffin's red meat, but if you think about it from another angle, Zhou Jiu and his son have already been to the iron coffin, how could they not know about the transshipment?
Zhou Jiu turned the ancient ship upside down.
He must have seen the transfer messenger and the lock box.
I must have tried opening the lock box as well.
In the ship building where the buckle boxes are stored, porcelain bottles and bones on the floor are also proof that Zhou Jiu came into contact with the transfer messenger.
But the ghost-suppressing messenger didn't kill them.
With the strength and speed of the Ghost Suppressing Division's transfer envoy to use his fingers as claws to grab Yin soldiers, and his agility to dodge flying knives, it was almost easy for him to kill Zhou Jiu and the others.
And the reality is.
No one was killed on Thursday.
They can hide in the ancient ship, live in the depths of the ancient ship, and can also go to the iron coffin openly.
Why is that?
The Ghost Suppressing Division's Transport Envoy cannot speak, but he obviously has not completely lost his mind. He can distinguish between friend and foe.
Since he didn't kill him.
Does it mean that Zhou Jiu and his son are not actually villains, but are helping the Ghost Suppression Division to maintain the balance of the ancient ship?
Does this possibility exist?
Looking at what Zhou Jiu and his son have done, they knew that there was something strange hidden in the cave behind the mountain, but they did not tell the outside world. Instead, they hid it in their hearts and went deep into it themselves.
The father and son were infected by evil spirits one after another.
Zhou Jiu even abandoned the cottage and lived in an ancient ship for eighteen years, eventually falling into a state of insanity.
If they are seeking the benefits of iron coffin red meat, what benefits does this red meat actually provide? Red meat can’t even speak, what can you promise them?
On the contrary, it is the ghost-suppressing and transporting envoy.
The Ghost Suppression Department is a subordinate of the Immortal Supervision Department. Every Ghost Suppression Department is familiar with many ghost and ghost methods. If the transshipment envoy promises some benefits, will the temptation be greater than red meat?
Thinking about these is not a waste of time.
Determining the camp of Zhou Jiu and his son is the top priority of this exploration. Only by determining where their butts sit can we know whether their behavior is good or bad.
They took the linen cloth from the iron coffin.
Drying is done on the upper deck of the ship.
But they didn't tear away all the linen, and left a layer inside the iron coffin. What was the purpose of this?
There is also a linen cloth on the surface of the red meat.
Why didn't Zhou take this one?
Are these linen cloths grown by Red Meat himself, or are they the key tools for sealing Red Meat, and are they a means of suppressing ghosts? Do you need to replace and clean it frequently?
This method is also common.
The floor of the ship building is full of mountain bones, and there are also some strange things, which look like they are preparing some kind of elixir and smearing it on the linen, using the elixir to suppress the growth of red meat.
Such as anesthetics.
Or poison.
Wuhai Xianzhou has a vast territory, and there is no shortage of herbs on the mountain. It is not necessary to use mountain products to prepare some herbs.
This matter does not need to be investigated in detail.
Whether Zhou Jiu is helping Hongrou out of trouble or helping the ghost-suppressing transporter depends solely on their identities.
Just make sure of this.
Only then could we further clarify whether Zheng Yun was helping Hongrou out of trouble by asking the Yin soldiers to remove the sackcloth at this moment.
And Zheng Yun has already made a judgment.
He didn't think that bandit Zhou Jiu had the ideological awareness to suppress ghosts and was willing to give up his freedom to suppress ghosts.
But since the transfer envoy of the Ghost Suppression Division did not kill Zhou Jiu, it means that he acquiesced in Zhou Jiu's behavior. No matter what Zhou Jiu's starting point was, at least Zhou Jiu was not helping Hongrou.
Hence the act of tearing off the linen.
That's not necessarily a good thing.
