endless route.

Chapter 75 36. Doubtful【Two in One】

The underground demon palace was dark and dark, with a seemingly invisible mist coiling in the air. Under the water surface of the sixth floor, a large number of sea monsters stirred up the sea water. The heads of the sea monsters bumped up and down in the water, screaming.

The sound echoed in the hollow island.

The demon tower sitting in the water is as motionless as a mountain, and a few pairs of eyes quietly protrude from the narrow ventilation window. They look at the outside world, at the only light source.

The flashlight casts down from the opening on the third floor of the demon palace, penetrates the mist and sweeps across the sea water and the demon tower, the beam of light appears slender in the huge demon palace.

Occasionally, the beam of light would sweep to the side of the demon tower, refracted through the mist, and the eyes would be full of dazzling white flowers, almost blinding people's eyes.

Look up to the light.

There were a few figures the size of rice grains, standing at the edge of the opening like a cave in the rock wall, two tall men, one normal man, and one with a big belly.

They probed their brains, their big bellies kept chattering, their expressions were excited and they didn't know what to say.

"Master Xian, the material of this pregnant monster tower is hard, and the window cannot allow adult sea monsters to enter, and it is also difficult for adult women to enter, only girls and children can enter and exit."

"The woman trapped here was probably sent here when she was a child, and then she couldn't get out again. She was trapped here for more than ten years in the dark!"

Ji Dao continued to explain.

Zheng Yun looked at the demon tower, this method of conceiving a demon is appalling, and those who use this method are unpardonable.

It's hard to imagine how those women lived. They were captured from nowhere and brought to such an isolated island at the end of the world, and they could never escape again.

The environment inside the monster tower must be damp and smelly, and the environment is rough. It is not a place for people to stay. In addition, the sea monsters are surrounded by frightening people, and the screams are endless all day long.

Zheng Yun was terrified when he saw it.

Sleepiness is hindered by screams, hungry sea monsters can only be eaten raw, the breath is full of stench, the sky is dark, and there is no light, and those who are alive are tortured every day.

It's pretty much the same as hell.

If he was caught in that demon tower, he would have to commit suicide within three years, and he would not be punished by this bird!
Seems wrong...

Zheng Yun suddenly reacted.

How did the people in the demon tower resist?Even thinking about it makes them want to commit suicide, how do they resist?

"This demon pagoda is engraved with an inscription of suppressing demons, which was destroyed by later generations, but I can barely make out a few characters. Let me see what is written."

Ji Dao poked his head out and looked down.

The style of this demon tower is simple, even a little crude, and it was nothing at first, but it was engraved with dense inscriptions by Triton, each with extremely complicated characters, with light gold patterns hard-frozen into the tower skin.

All the narrow windows on the demon tower were sealed by iron chains, and the iron chains were wrapped around the demon tower, as if they wanted to seal the entire demon tower here forever.

Once the two are combined, this demon tower is no longer crude, and the whole body is filled with the strange charm of ghosts and metaphysics. People who say that there are demons and immortals in it will believe it.

Zheng Yun looked down with a flashlight.

There are more and more doubts in my heart.

Ji Dao has good ears, good eyes, and a lot of knowledge. He can guess the principle of this place, which is worthy of praise.

His reasoning is indeed reasonable. The Qianzhou Strait is an open sea, and the excrement produced by the ships will be thrown directly into the sea. The fishing boats nearby are all old fishing boats decades ago, and there are very few black water tanks.

This is even more so in ancient times.

The ancients rarely collected excrement for disposal. Wherever the boat master went, the excrement and urine would be thrown there.

Training sea monsters to smell shit and look for people, and wherever there is shit smell, they will rob ships and mess up boats. Although it sounds outrageous, it is actually quite efficient.

With so many sea monsters gathered in the demon palace, no matter how large the area is and how exquisite the mechanism is, the source of food for the sea monsters is also a problem, and cannibalism is inevitable.

This should be what Professor Zhang wondered. The reason why the sea monsters cannibalize their own species can barely be fulfilled, after all, the facts are right in front of them.

Leaving aside the sea monster's revenge, this thing is mixed with resentment and karma. Zheng Yun is not an expert in this field, so it's hard to say, but there is a certain possibility.

But Zheng Yun still didn't feel right.

After all, it was Ji Dao's first time to work in the mountains, and his considerations were still not comprehensive. He believed too much in ancient records, but did not consider other factors, and there were many problems.

There is something strange about this pregnant demon tower.

Leaving aside the living people in the tower, it can also be understood that they are insisting on surviving. This kind of tenacity is admirable, and Zheng Yun can only feel ashamed.

The most obvious question is, why didn't Triton completely destroy this place? Since it has gone deep here and left the iron chain with the inscription, why didn't it just destroy it and seal it?

Zheng Yun had seen the iron chains on the demon tower and the iron chains at the entrance once before, in the Underworld Pavilion catacombs, when the iron chains sealed the coffin.

There were two corpses in the coffin. It was suspected that the expert who made the ghost seal might also be a ghost soldier who had lived for hundreds of years, so the coffin was sealed with iron chains.

Then what is sealed in this demon tower?
In this so-called five-story demon-pregnant tower, is it a sea-monster that is pregnant, or something else?
The other is the purpose of building this place.

If you were Zhang Kuixi, the treacherous Haiwei who presided over the construction of Qianxiantai, and suddenly wanted to kill the emperor one day, would you choose to spend decades building the demon palace, or poison or stab the emperor?

There is no need to hesitate.

Imaginary Assassination: The hidden monster in the shallow sea ambushed the emperor.

True Assassination: Quietly poisoned and stabbed in the back.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were hundreds of assassination cases of the emperor, and the assassination was successful in the end, and the cause of death could not be investigated. It was suspected that there were only a few times where it was suspected of using demons and ghosts, and the success rate was very low.

Zhang Kuixi presided over the construction of Qianxian Terrace, and his rank in the Triton system is definitely not low. To be able to climb to this position, he must come into contact with the means of gods and ghosts.

This kind of person wants to kill the emperor, it is difficult to say, and it is easy to say. There is indeed a chance for the hidden monster in the shallow sea to ambush the emperor, but Zheng Yun always feels that something is wrong, because the success rate is too low and too unreliable.

The emperor was surrounded by an expert to protect him. The depth of this expert's morality was probably beyond their imagination, and he could easily see through the conspiracy here.

Even if you don't see through.

Whenever there is a person like Ji Dao around the emperor, who yells or uses a crane to take the emperor away, the sea monster will be stupid and can only watch the crane fly away.

It's just Ji Dao, Ji Dao, who can go crazy even eating chicken legs, can easily resolve the conspiracy here!

Unless Zhang Kuixi counted all the omissions while Zhuge was alive and could eliminate all uncertain factors, otherwise he would never have the possibility to assassinate the emperor like this.

And if he really had Zhuge alive, he would be able to kill the emperor with a single chopstick.

So this demon palace is definitely not simple!
Triton was detected but not destroyed. '

'Suppressing demon inscriptions can be seen everywhere. '

"Zhen Zhenren achieved Taoism and longevity. '

'Blood monkey and blood pill prolong life. '

During the Lizong period of the Ming Dynasty, the clan changed. '

'Historical records are vague. '

Triton slaughtered the fishing village. '

' Ji Dao did not find any information in the depths of the underground palace. '

The more Zheng Yun thought about it, the more he frowned. He always felt that there was a problem here, a big problem!
"You said earlier that Zhang Kui killed tens of thousands of boat masters in Yu Qianzhou. Who did he take with him to escape?"

Zheng Yun suddenly asked.

"Immortal Lord, it is King Qi, the vassal king. The records of this matter are vague, but only a mention, and the final whereabouts of this vassal king was not mentioned." Ji Dao replied immediately.

"Is this King Qi the code name when it was recorded later? What was his identity at that time, was he the vassal king at that time, or was he the heir of Ming Lizong?" Zheng Yun asked.

"This... Lord Xian, I don't know."

"You also said that Zhang Kuixi used Qianxiantai to lure Emperor Lizong of the Ming Dynasty, and when the matter was revealed and escorted back to the court, he ordered the sea monster to kill the boat master, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Then where did this king of Qi come from? Has Li Zong ever been to Qianxiantai?" Zheng Yun asked again.

"This... Lord Xian, King Qi may have been taken hostage while escorting Zhang Kui for washing? I know the second question, Ming Lizong has never been to Qianxiantai."

The fat Taoist wiped the sweat from his forehead, his tone became more and more tense, and he gave a tentative answer.

"Get out first."

Zheng Yun turned his head and left.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, the depth of this place has not been ascertained, and there is no money to make when entering, Zheng Yun does not need to force his way in, it is better to go back and investigate first.

There is also a middle-aged Taoist priest in the secret realm. This person must know a lot, so he can torture him slowly.

Tiangong also has a lot of information. Previously, the fat Taoist priest was eager to answer and was in a hurry to pursue speed. He didn't read it carefully at all. Zheng Yun asked him to read it again, but he didn't read it again with full confidence. Now he asked three questions and didn't know.

Be prepared and come again.

I want to save Jiang Meng's life, not for other people's lives. Those women have not been trapped for a day or two. They must be rescued, but it can be done slowly.

"Master Xian, are we leaving now?" The fat Taoist felt unwilling, and he also understood that it was because he didn't do his homework well, but he was still reluctant to leave and wanted to explore again.

"Do you know why this place is called Three Demon Island instead of Siren Island?" Zheng Yun looked back at him again.

"Ah this..."

The fat Taoist was taken aback, yes, why is this place called Three Demon Island, but there is only one kind of monster, sea monster?

This question completely crushed him, he opened his mouth and hesitated, then lowered his head, followed Zheng Yun dejectedly, half-hearted.

Zheng Yun sighed softly and let the ghost general open the way. The four of them turned back the same way and walked back along the corridor.

Just round the corner.

One of the ghost generals suddenly pulled out his saber, stabbed fiercely at the wall obliquely in front of him, pierced most of the wall with the long saber, and then pulled it out fiercely.

欻拉.

A large piece of blood was brought out by the long knife.

Zheng Yun immediately raised the flashlight, only to see that the ghost general's long knife was covered with blood, and he couldn't tell the difference between human blood and demon blood.

"Master Xian, there are things in the wall! And there are a lot of them!" The fat Taoist immediately reacted, listened carefully with his ears up, and heard some movements.

Zheng Yun looked into the distance silently, the iron ladder was gone, and when they were standing at the break and listening to the scream of the siren, someone took the opportunity to pull the ladder away.

It doesn't matter.

They can go up with a rope.

It is impossible for Zheng Yun to enter this kind of place without equipment. The backpacks of the two Triton statues are full of things.

A few meters is not a big deal, the gravity here is low, so the ghost general can easily jump on it.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yun immediately controlled the ghost generals, took out the climbing rope from his backpack, and asked one of the ghost generals to carry it first, while the other ghost general squatted down as a ladder, and let the first ghost general go up to explore the road first.

"Master Xian, I heard the door opening." The fat Taoist suddenly said, pointing to the end of the corridor ahead.

Zheng Yun glanced at it with his flashlight.

Although the fog is thin, it can only be seen for more than ten meters. The corridor is dark and deep, and nothing can be seen. The fear brought by the unknown is hard to suppress.

"Go up and talk later."

Zheng Yun looked up at the ghost general, it had already jumped to the second floor and dropped the rope, Zheng Yun thought he was the worst at it, so he was the first to grab the rope and climb up.

"Master Xian, there are dirty things here, you go first, let me yell." The fat Taoist supported Zheng Yun and said.

"You come up first, find a place with water and open the fairy gate, then you can shout whatever you want." Zheng Yun climbed up the steps, turned around and stretched out his hand to the fat Taoist priest.

The fat Taoist nodded, grabbed the rope and jumped up from the third floor, then immediately leaned against the wall, listened attentively and said:

"Master Xian, the situation is not right. There is also movement on this floor, and there is movement all around. There seems to be some mechanism in this place, and something has been released..."

Zheng Yun didn't care about these things, and waited for the ghost generals below to come up, and hurried back along the same route.

Another corner.

The ghost general in front of him suddenly took out the powder from his pocket, and the fat Taoist immediately said, "Those things seem to have come out, behind this wall."

"You have great confidence in Zhen Xuanyin?"

Zheng Yun looked at the fat Taoist with a serious expression.

"Yes, let me go down, with the level of monsters in this place, there is nothing to live within a thousand meters!"

The fat Taoist nodded vigorously, and at this moment he regained the feeling of a Taoist in Tiangong.

"Okay, then go on."

Zheng Yun asked the ghost general to continue to open the way. This time he also heard movement. There were rustling footsteps in the wall to their left, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a human or a demon.

Another walk.

The fat Taoist suddenly grabbed Zheng Yun, with a very serious expression: "Master Xian, the situation is not good, that thing is about to come out, let me go to the front and shout, Master Xian, step back and cover your ears completely."

"..."

Zheng Yun hesitated for a while, then nodded, and told him: "If you and I get separated, you can yell to provide the location, and I will try my best to find you."

"Row."

The fat Taoist nodded, then ran forward with his sword in hand, and fell into the darkness within a few steps.

Zheng Yun walked back a few steps.

He still doesn't know what's inside the wall, maybe the person blowing the xun released the female siren, or maybe it's something else.

eat.

The ghost will strike again.

This time it slashed into the crack of the brick wall, but before it came out, it coated the knife with powder.

Zheng Yun took a closer look. The gaps in the wall are very wide. I don't know what they are made of. The ghosts cut the gaps just like cutting paper, which is also very strange!
Looking for a corner to go around, Zheng Yun and the ghost general squatted in the corner covering their ears. After hearing loss, they could only use the flashlight to look around.

Waited for four or five minutes.

The fat Taoist's Zhenxuan sound has not yet sounded.

Zheng Yun's heartbeat gradually began to speed up, and a bad premonition lingered in his heart, and the ghost general beside him became more and more vigilant, holding a knife to protect him.

It may be time to find a way out.

The nearest place with water is the long and narrow opening on the fourth floor of the underground palace. Although it is not easy to pass through, as long as you jump out, there will be endless seawater below.

Roar.

There was a loud muffled sound.

The voice came from far away, and it didn't sound sharp, but it made Zheng Yun dizzy for an instant, feeling his whole head resonate.

This should be Zhen Xuanyin.

The fat Taoist still made a move, but the position seemed to be below, and I don't know where he went.

Zheng Yun was in a dilemma.

Going forward is likely to meet the fat Taoist priest, and he yelled at close range. I am really choked up and can resist it, but it is too dangerous to go back.

"What do you think?" Zheng Yun simply turned to look at the ghost generals to see what they could do.

The ghost will show a strange smile.

歘歘.

The two ghost generals drew their knives together, stabbing the wall on the right hand one by one, each knife piercing the gaps around the two green bricks with precision, as if they were going to pierce through them forcefully, and then pulled out the green bricks to make an exit.

"good idea."

Zheng Yun nodded in admiration.

The thinking of ghost generals is indeed different from that of humans. People think about how to get out, but ghost generals break their thinking patterns. They want to demolish this place directly!

歘歘.

The sound of knives continued.

Not long after, the ghost general suddenly stretched out his hand, and all four hands exerted strength at the same time, pinching the brick wall and buckling it out.

They move easily.

Suddenly, from the wall, two bluestone bricks the size of a head and one meter long were pulled out.

It's much easier after that.

The ghost general only needs a few knives to remove a stone brick, and a big hole can be removed in a few strokes.

Zheng Yun looked down.

The expected exit did not appear, the hole was pitch black, and when the flashlight entered, it turned out to be a narrow passage built in a gap in the wall.

"Enter?"

Zheng Yun looked at the ghost general.

The ghost generals didn't nod and couldn't speak, they could only show it with practical actions: one of the ghost generals went straight into the hole, then turned back and smiled at Zheng Yun.

Zheng Yun was silent.

It's laughing really weirdly.

Zheng Yun didn't even want to go in, but now he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and drill...

　Thank you [92 Jiang Meng Meng Da] for the five hundred rewards!Thank you so much!
