Chapter 281 51 Immortal Supervisors Dispatch Troops to Suppress Bandits
Chapter 281 51. Jianxian Division sends troops to suppress bandits
Zheng Yun sat next to the break in the city wall. It took him a long time to reply to everyone's messages. Then he stood up, picked up his backpack, and returned to the archaeological camp alone.
He looked down at the time.
He quickened his pace.
The ancient city of Nanze has a special environment, with a small temperature difference between day and night. During the window period, the temperature is around 30 degrees throughout the day, but there is a kind of foggy weather every evening and early morning.
Because the ruins of the ancient city are still along the coast, the climate here is extremely complex. The miasma is manifested in extremely dense white fog and extremely high humidity, which will affect the use of electronic equipment.
Zheng Yun returned along the way he came, walking in the rain forest with a hiking pole and watching the extremely thick fog rising.
The sun was setting in the west and the light was dim.
There was no wind in the rain forest or on the sea, but the temperature in the rain forest still remained at 30 degrees. As a result, the water vapor evaporated from the entire swamp could not escape and was piled up inside the rain forest.
Zheng Yun shuttled through the rainforest. Not long after, the rainforest was filled with mist. The visible distance was no more than one meter, and the surface of the diving suit was covered with water vapor condensation.
He raised his arm and waved it in mid-air.
The water fell down like a bath.
This phenomenon will last for a long time. Before evening, most explorers who do not plan to spend the night in the ruins will leave, including professional archaeological teams such as Gubo.
Professor Zhang and others have also returned.
In this environment, everyone must be very focused and use searchlights to see the path under their feet to avoid accidentally falling into the swamp or being suddenly attacked by swamp creatures.
There is only one person in Zheng Yun.
But in the thick mist in front of us and behind us, there are searchlights of explorers, vaguely shining through the mist. If we follow them, the probability of something going wrong is not very high.
After a while, Zheng Yun followed a group of Western explorers back to the place where they parked their off-road vehicles.
Take out the key and open the door.
After getting in the car, Zheng Yun discovered the problem. The glass of the car was broken and the car was rummaged through. Fortunately, there were no valuables in their car.
Zhang Ergou really got it right.
The security in this place is very poor.
Theft often occurs.
Zheng Yun had no other choice but to take out the key to open the door and drive back to the big camp along the dirt road.
Showing his pass at the gate of Dongfang Camp, Zheng Yun successfully returned to the camp and saw Song Wan, Liu Ming and others at the same time.
They were all dressed in rainforest adventure attire, with their trousers and bodies covered in mud. They probably had just gotten out of the car and hadn't even returned to their rooms, so they were waiting for them in the parking lot.
"Brother Zheng, your equipment is professional enough." The thin young man picked up the big bag from the car and moved it to the flatbed truck.
Zheng Yun went over and took a look.
It was actually filled with filled sludge. It must have been extracted from deep underground and brought back to the laboratory for analysis.
"What did you discover today?"
Liu Ming came closer and asked softly.
"Brother Zheng."
Song Wan also came over.
The legs of her waterproof overalls were covered with mud, her rainforest hat was hanging down, and there were a few mud spots on her fair face, which looked like a cat with a painted face. They must have been accidentally smeared on them.
"I made some discoveries, thanks to your hard work."
Zheng Yun scanned the crowd and saw that the others were all rough and tough, but they looked quite pleasing to the eye even though they were covered in mud. Because their skin was dark in color, even a little mud didn't make much difference.
But Song Wan, a fair girl who had not graduated, followed them and rolled around in the mud until her face was covered in mud. She looked a bit dazzling, and she looked pitiful standing timidly.
"Sister Song was so big today that she reached out and caught a snake. Professor Zhang said that this kind of snake is of great research value."
Huzi quickly made a report.
"Really? Wouldn't that be nice."
Zheng Yun smiled. Wasn't this a meritorious service? However, Song Wan's message did not seem to include this item.
"Um."
Song Wanzheng stared at Huzi with cold eyes. After hearing these words, she smiled and responded softly.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Huzi whispered.
He knew that if he clicked his tongue twice, Song Wan would scold him if he turned around, but he couldn't help but tease her twice.
"Brother Zheng hasn't eaten yet. Let's go back and clean up before going to the cafeteria." Hu Ruihua said with a smile.
"good."
Zheng Yun nodded.
Everyone pulled the trolley to send them away, and returned to the dormitory to wash and change clothes. They were all on the same floor of the dormitory building, and each room was for two people. Then they went to the cafeteria together.
The canteen environment is very good.
It's dinner time now.
The entire hall is filled with members of the archaeological team.
After receiving the dinner plates and putting the rice on the table, Zheng Yun held his own and Song Wan's plates, while Song Wan filled seven or eight bowls of soup for everyone, and carefully walked through the crowd to find an empty table and sit down.
The group of people had just chatted for a few words when Xu Yu suddenly came from behind, patted Zheng Yun on the shoulder and told him something.
Zheng Yun had barely eaten a few bites of his meal before he stood up and followed Xu Yu out of the canteen to a dark corner outside the canteen door.
"Zheng Yun, when you went to rescue people, Zhao Qiufu was at the scene?" Xu Yu asked in a low voice.
"exist."
Zheng Yun was a little confused. It seemed that Zhao Qiufu had some problems that deserved Xu Yu's special visit.
"Zhao Qiufu knew your father. Your father saved him once in a ruins. He will definitely recognize you, but this old fox will never talk about the past."
"Because he was still young and trapped in the death chamber of an ancient desert city. He could only catch scorpions for more than 20 days. If Jiang Jianguo hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have died."
"He is a few years older than Jiang Jianguo. He made a mess the first time he led a team alone. He was embarrassed. Later, he caused more trouble and almost collapsed the entire ancient city."
This time, Xu Yu did not beat around the bush but went straight to the core. He exposed Zhao Qiufu's past without any mercy.
"So that's it."
Zheng Yun suddenly realized that he was talking about why Zhao Qiufu was vaguely taking care of him. It turned out that he had some friendship with his adoptive father.
This made sense.
When Zhao Qiufu heard that he was from Fu Enlai, he looked at his pass, combined with the abnormalities of Ji Dao and Gui Jiang, he should have guessed that he was from Jianghe Pawn Shop.
He didn't know the past of the previous generation and couldn't get involved, but he still had to remember Zhao Qiufu's favor.
"I don't mean anything else. I just want to tell you not to get stuck with Zhao Qiufu. This old fox is about to be buried. He really doesn't want to be ashamed to ask you for the blueprint."
Xu Yu cursed with a serious expression.
Zheng Yun was slightly startled and remained silent. He had known Old Xu for such a long time, but this was the first time he saw Xu Yu show emotions. He probably had some old grudges with Zhao Qiufu.
But the key to the problem was.
Old Xu also asked him for the blueprints...
The meaning of his last sentence might be that Zhao Qiufu should not ask Fu En for blueprints across regions.
"You may not know that Zhao Qiufu's ancestors were also sea guards... I won't mention these past events. You said you would give Fu En a blueprint and send it to him when you are free."
"Let's go eat first. You are really fast. You got into the deepest part of the ancient city without paying attention. You didn't leave Zhao Qiufu any face. You did a good job."
Xu Yu smiled and patted Zheng Yun on the shoulder.
Zheng Yun nodded politely and didn't respond. The story of the older generation was also quite complicated. Zhao Qiufu's ancestors were actually sea guards, but he led the Gubo archaeological team to explore the desert back then.
Moreover, Zhao Qiufu has become Gubo Zhaoye today. He has a high status in Gubo and has continued to prosper.
It seems that many of the descendants of Triton who were left behind in the world have been incorporated into the establishment of the Museum of Ancient Chinese History, or simply become full-time employees and embrace the new era collectively.
Maybe the original Cultural Relics Bureau was set up by that group of people, but some people still didn't join.
That's good too.
Zheng Yun thinks it's okay.
Triton shouldn't all end in tragedy, and the descendants should also have a new way out, so that the skills can be passed on and the things left by the ancestors should not be lost.
It's really good.
Why can't we have a good life?
And they are no different from the beginning, just changed their name, and continue to protect cultural relics with the rules of the new era, and even some old habits of the trade have not changed.
On the contrary, people like my adoptive father and myself are twisted in the Triton ruins, unable to let go, and unable to let go...
Jianghe Pawnshop.
Jianghe is the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.
The pawnshop with the suffix.
It is also a sad irony.
Although they were in the distant Fuen City, they never let go. The pawnshop was for collecting old items, and it also accommodated their old bones from the old times until their demise...
It was indeed hard to let go. There were still descendants of the Yellow Emperor and the common people in the Lost Land. It had nothing to do with other things. They had the same blood in their bodies, and they could not choose to forget.
Of course, it was not to say that Zhao Qiufu and the others had forgotten.
Zheng Yun felt that they might not know at all. If they knew those things, the Cultural Relics Bureau would have driven an aircraft carrier to the end of the East Route and fought against the sea beasts to recover their homeland.
As for whether they could win.
Zheng Yun was really a little hard to say.
Modern technology is also so powerful, and it is a linear improvement. The longer the time, the more powerful it is. It has only been twenty years since the mechanical watch that my adoptive father refined to the current electronic equipment.
Humans are still powerful.
As long as the development cycle is long enough and it is not strangled in the cradle in advance, it is only a matter of time to dominate the Endless Route.
So the question should be whether the current technology can win, and whether it can at this moment.
I have to wait and see to know.
If it can be done, it's easy to say. If not, then the Sea Guard will block for the human world for a few more decades. Anyway, it has been blocked for hundreds of years. This is the last duty of the remnants of the Sea Guard...
...
The Sealess Fairyland, the Boundless Cliff Fairy Gate.
Two bright moons hang high in the sky, and the valley is illuminated by the moonlight. There is a layer of white frost on the branches and leaves of the grass and trees, quietly exuding under the moonlight, and it is wet.
Wow.
The Fairy Gate is opened again.
Ji Dao and Zhang Ergou and others appeared one after another. Everyone held a long sword in their hands. Without saying a word, they stepped out of the Qingchi and scattered around the Fairy Gate to observe the surrounding environment.
The cold light of the sword broke the midnight.
Sharp murderous aura filled the four directions.
"Stay alert and see if there is anyone watching on the distant hilltop." Ji Dao held a backpack in his arms and retreated to the dark corner deep in the pavilion, highly alert.
"There shouldn't be."
Zhang Ergou immediately took out a telescope to observe.
The mountains around the valley tower into the clouds, with overlapping light and shadow in the interweaving of light and shadow. The brightest is like a holy mountain under the moonlight, and the darkest is simply a hideous black shadow that stretches deep and long.
But modern telescopes are too easy to use.
You can see all the tops of the mountains with a single sweep.
"Then I'll open the door. If there is any abnormality, remind me immediately." Ji Dao carefully took out the backpack in his arms, took out the black jade pillow from it, and slowly put it into the bottom of the clear pool.
Wow.
The immortal gate is open again.
Ji Dao stepped into the white mist and shuttled back to the secret realm, leaving only Zhang Ergou and a few ghost generals guarding with knives, staring coldly at the surrounding grass and trees, not letting go of any movement.
This is the most dangerous time.
If something goes wrong, the immortal gate may be lost.
Although the ghost generals cannot speak, they also know the reason, and have lifted their cloaks to reveal the sea guard iron plate.
The iron plate is different from the identity card.
There are only three short lines of words on it:
[Sea Guard Forbidden Land]
[Those who stray into it will be killed without mercy]
[Those who trespass will be killed without mercy]
No matter what comes out of the grass and trees, even if it is just an ordinary small animal, the ghost general will definitely chop it to death with a knife, in case the small animal is a divine and ghost means of some enemy.
Fortunately, the critical moment passed quickly.
Ji Dao stepped out of the clear pool again, holding a jade lantern in his left hand and an iron chain in his right hand, and at the same time led out the cold fairy and the immortal corpse, followed by a large number of people carrying means.
The little Taoist priest led the demon dog.
The ghost general carried the Yin ghost figurine.
The Taoist priest of Tiangong carried the demon-inviting pillar.
The Yin soldiers carried the red sedan chair with talisman paper.
Many supernatural means were used first to turn the boundless cliff into a cave for worshipping immortals, a floating city in the deep sea, and the main island of Tiangong Immortal Island. No living creature could easily enter.
"Master Ji, is that necessary?"
Zhang Ergou was slightly stunned.
Zhang Ergou had never seen many of the things that Ji Dao displayed. He had not participated in the Yin ghost figurines, immortal corpses, and red sedan chairs, and did not know the methods and origins of those things.
But they looked weirder than the other.
They were all terrifying monster items, and they were probably all top-level supernatural means that could calm the situation.
"Master Xian asked you and me to suppress the bandits alone. If something goes wrong, do you have the face to go back alive and report to Master Xian?"
Ji Dao breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
Many supernatural means were used to turn this valley into a dead place in an instant, and to kill all living creatures in the valley. Even if this place was surrounded by Wangjing Dusi, they were not afraid at all.
"That's right."
Zhang Ergou nodded.
"Wait, I'll continue to invite you. Although the Immortal Master asked you to suppress the bandits, he also asked me to supervise the battle. We will get things done tonight. Before that, let's go to the county town first."
After saying this, Ji Dao returned to the secret realm.
This time he went for a longer time, preparing the immortal horses and weapons needed to attack the mountain stronghold, and also prepared the immortal cranes for quickly transferring people and horses, and at the same time went to the Alchemy Pavilion for a circle.
When he came out again.
He only brought a few immortal cranes.
He had a few more porcelain bottles in his hands.
"Before that, Master Xian and I captured the county magistrate of a nearby county. In order to prevent them from leaking the news and alerting the enemy, we have to take some countermeasures in advance."
"Fortunately, it has not been long since the dramatic changes in the government office, so everything is in time. Even if the government office sends people on horseback to deliver the letter, they can't outrun the crane. I will ask people to search the mountains for 500 miles."
"These pills can ensure that those people in the government office cannot leak the news, but the medicine is three-tenths poisonous. Forcing the people to swallow the pills is not something that can be seen in the light."
"Master Xian doesn't know about this. Let's do it first and then report it. Let's take the responsibility together."
Ji Dao had an indifferent expression. He threw a porcelain bottle to Zhang Ergou and then whispered the plan.
"Master Ji..."
Zhang Ergou was slightly startled again. He really had never seen Ji Dao with this expression. In the past, Ji Dao was always laughing and joking around Master Xian. He didn't expect him to have this side.
Precise action.
Indifferent tone.
It has the flavor of the ancient factory guards.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Ji Dao spoke softly again, but his face suddenly fell in the next sentence. He looked up at Mingyue and sighed:
"You didn't see it. Just now, the immortal master had this tone and intonation, and his expression was also frighteningly cold. I was as frightened as you were. I really don't know what the immortal master was thinking."
"Ergou, the Immortal Supervisor is going to change."
"The easy days when you and I were watching the shop and sweeping the floor in the pawnshop are gone forever. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to meet in the future. You'd better prepare as soon as possible."
"Oh, I understand."
Zhang Ergou's expression also gradually changed.
"Although you are making meritorious contributions to your crimes, it is also arranged by fate. Some things have developed to this point, and you can't do it. The immortal master gave you the important task, you have to accept it well."
"There are also many things that I can't do. You have been very abnormal before. I suspect that you have been controlled by the weirdness of the ancient city of Nanze, so you open the porcelain bottle and eat one first."
Ji Dao suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Ergou, pointed at the porcelain bottle in his arms, and then spoke expressionlessly.
