Endless route

Chapter 273 43. Immortal Gate Leads to Wuhaizhou

The two of them carefully observed the few floor tiles. They were no different from the surrounding floor tiles. The cracks in the bricks were real and there was no sign of any hidden passages or hidden mechanisms.

Pry it open and take a look?

Ji Dao took out the long sword from the sword box. With such tightly fitted floor tiles, a crowbar was useless, so he had to use a sword to pry them.

Caution comes first.

Zheng Yun nodded and asked Jidao to take action.

Ji Dao didn't hesitate at all, listened carefully to the sound with his ears, and slowly inserted the tip of the sword into the crack of the brick, using a slight force to penetrate deep, and the clear sword body sank into the ground bit by bit.

Until the sword blade completely submerged into the cracks of the bricks.

Ji Dao used force on his wrist to move the sword, and it didn't take much effort to completely cut through the entire gap in the floor tiles.

After that it’s a repeat process.

Several floor tiles were all separated.

The whole process was very smooth, without triggering any mechanism, as if this place was just an ordinary attic and nothing special.

rise.

Zheng Yun sent ghost generals.

The four ghost generals drew their swords together, pierced the cracks in the floor tiles with Ji Dao, and then used force to stir upwards at the same time.

Click.

A faint voice sounded.

The entire floor tile was slowly lifted up, and as the gap between the floor tiles gradually expanded, water actually poured down along the gap.

It's actually empty down here.

Zheng Yun and Jidao looked at each other and continued to pick up the bricks calmly until the entire floor tile was completely off the ground.

A square dark hole appeared.

The water on the first floor of the attic flowed towards the dark cave. The water became more and more fierce, and even created a whirlpool around several people, slightly displacing the furnishings that had not been moved for hundreds of years.

Ji Dao put his head to the entrance of the dark cave and shined the searchlight straight down, only to see that the dark cave was at least ten meters deep.

It should be right here. Ji Dao nodded.

Exit. Zheng Yun pointed out a Yin soldier to explore the way.

The Yin Soldier immediately stepped forward, heading towards the dark cave without hesitation, then stepped on the air and fell into the depths of the dark cave.

Plop.

The sound of Yin soldiers falling into the water was heard.

Zheng Yun and others continued to observe the Yin soldiers, but they saw the Yin soldiers floating near the water. The searchlights on their heads illuminated the dark hole completely, and they could see that there was a huge space deep in the dark hole.

There is water at the end of the dark cave, but the water is really not deep, and the toes of the Yin soldiers can basically reach the ground.

There appears to be no danger.

Ji Dao was eager to try.

Zheng Yun asked the Yin soldiers to move around and test the underground mechanisms as much as possible, but until the Yin soldiers got to the north of the dark cave and the entire figure disappeared from sight, there was no danger.

And until now, the water on the first floor of the attic is still pouring into the dark hole continuously, as if the dark hole is a bottomless pit, and all the water in the entire attic may not be able to fill it.

This shows that the horizontal space is huge.

There must be something abnormal under the dark hole.

Let's go down and have a look too.

Zheng Yun took out the rope and fixed it on the beam on the first floor of the attic, so that it could be used in case something happened after he got down.

Then everyone slowly entered the dark cave.

The distance of ten meters passed in an instant, and four ghost generals opened the way. Zheng Yunjidao arrived at the bottom of the cave one after another and observed the environment with a flashlight.

The structure is similar to that of an underground sewer.

Perhaps this is the first floor of the underground waterway, separated by a wall from the ancient archaeological team, but the other party is in the fork in the road, while he and others are in the brick wall secret room next to the fork in the road.

The road divides into two.

There is one on each side.

The road on the left is three meters wide, and the road on the right is four meters wide, which looks very strange.

Ji Dao took out the blueprint and glanced at it. It was marked on the blueprint that there was only one road leading to the secret place, which was the one on the left, so the one on the right was newly built.

After thinking for a while.

Everyone chose to go to the left.

Ji Dao led the way with the blueprint, and everyone continued to move forward in the deep dark passage. The journey was uneventful. After walking less than ninety meters, they entered a dark hall.

This dark room is completely different from the attic.

The color of the brick wall suddenly changed, and the texture became more delicate. Rows of cast iron lampstands stood on the left and right. Although I had never seen the style before, it was similar to the style of Kaiwei Jianji.

There is a sense of intimacy just looking at it.

Walking along the lampstand to the end of the dark hall, there is a groove on one wall, which is exactly the same size as the commander's waist badge.

This is the agency door.

The waist card can only be opened by the commander.

The structure here is very similar to that of Fuen Fuci's Fairy Gate, but you can still see some sense of age. The furnishings here are older than Fuen's basement and are full of vicissitudes of life.

Seeing this, both Zheng Yun and Ji Dao were instantly sure that no matter whether there was a fairy gate here or not, there must be ruins and important places left by the Sea Guard Supervisor Xian Si here.

But the wall has been pushed open.

In front of the wall is a new secret passage.

As usual, the Yin soldiers explored the path. After the Yin soldiers confirmed that there was no problem, Zheng Yun and Jidao slowly walked down the steps.

When you reach the bottom in one breath.

Oily sludge appears again.

There was a meter of oily silt at the bottom of this secret passage. They had to move forward through the silt, but all the traces on the left and right showed that they were about to reach the end.

Sure enough, less than a hundred meters away, there was another upward step, but the dim light on the step did not look like anything ordinary.

Climb the steps slowly.

A clear pool appeared in front of me.

There is a black jade gate in the center of the clear pool.

Sure enough, there is a fairy gate, but this pool is actually dry. Ji Dao lowered his head and looked at the clear pool. This was the first time they saw a completely dry clear pool with no water at all.

Qingchi is only calf-high.

But the entire area is quite small.

It is square and nine meters long and wide. Wipe off the silt-like dust with your hands and observe its material carefully. You will see that this clear pool looks like jade but not jade, like gold but not gold. It has the texture of crystal clear jade. It has a metallic black luster.

The decorations on it are more gorgeous than those on the Immortal Gate of the Secret Realm, and there are also lucky cloud patterns. There are thousands of gods, ghosts and immortals, and the carvings are extremely flamboyant, covering the entire clear pond.

It is completely different from the secret realm Qingchi.

The Qing Pond in the secret realm is not gorgeous at all. There are not even many lucky cloud patterns carved on it. There is a circle at the height of half a hand at the bottom of the Qing Po Po. It cannot be seen without looking carefully with a flashlight.

The secret floor tiles are also ordinary black bricks, and the pillars supporting the top are more ordinary, and they look like ancient ruins.

In fact, the entire secret realm is so low-key that it can be called simple. There are only a few jade tables to barely highlight the status. The rest are not as good as the Dusi Mansion, and even the roof is hollow.

But it's true.

What's the use of a roof if it doesn't rain?

It really might have been cast.

Zheng Yun was filled with emotion after seeing it. Although they used the Qingchi every day, they had never looked at it carefully. Now that they looked at it like this, they really couldn't recognize the casting process of the Qingchi.

This is the Yin Zun mentioned by Gu Bo.

It is buried underground. No one knows what its shape is, but it is likely to be the same as a bronze tripod, but larger in area, like a bathing pool in the north.

Master Immortal, we still have to wait for the water to rise. Once there is water, we can open the Immortal Gate. Jidao rubbed his hands and turned to look behind him. The water level was not far from Qingchi.

Then just wait.

Zheng Yun looked around. The layout was almost the same as that of Fuen's basement, but the style was completely different.

There are four columns surrounding the clear pool, each of which is densely carved with lucky cloud patterns. The material seems to be a very rare jade.

It's much more upscale than the Secret Realm.

There are several lamps carved on the jade pillars, but the lamp holders are all kinds of gods, ghosts and immortals, holding lamps to the Immortal Supervisor in a polite manner.

To put it bluntly, Fu'en City was built much earlier than Nanze Ancient City. The history of Fu'en City can even be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty, although it was still a pirate nest at that time.

But Fuen City has existed until modern times, while the ancient city of Nanze is forever fixed on a day at least three hundred years ago.

So this place is in the style of early Triton, which is more flamboyant and gorgeous than later generations. Even the surrounding brick walls are carved with many patterns, and the light is as transparent as jade when you hit it with a flashlight.

The Jianxian Division at that time turned out to have this style.

Jian Sihai Xian Ying, check Bafang Xianzhou, all kinds of gods, ghosts and immortals are the servants or prisoners of the Jian Xian Division.

It’s so different from the secret realm.

Secret Realm will shed tears when seeing this.

If you think about it carefully, it is true that in that era, Triton was unparalleled in the sea. The only person who could make enemies of Triton and cause casualties was probably the traitorous Triton.

Mid-Ming Dynasty.

It was the pinnacle of the Ming Dynasty.

It is also the pinnacle of Triton.

The reason for this difference in style is self-evident. All the abandoned places are the result of the inability of Ming and Haiwei. The successive occurrence of major abandoned places may have dampened the confidence of Ming and Haiwei, causing them to gradually keep a low profile.

It didn't take long.

The water level gradually flooded the clear pond.

Zheng Yun had already taken out the black jade pillow, and planned to return to the secret realm first, open the five black jade doors on the right, and see which black jade gate in the secret realm the fairy gate here was connected to.

The black jade gate is two-way.

Both must be turned on at the same time to be connected.

As for the black jade doors in the second section of the secret realm, currently only the five on the left are open. At the same time, only W-02 Fuen City and W-07 Fuci Museum are connected.

None of the five doors on the right are open.

Like last time, they had to open it one by one and try to see which one matched this black jade door.

But here's the surprise.

When the water line submerged the clear pool, poured into the clear pool and flooded the black jade door, a white mist suddenly dispersed.

This fairy gate is actually connected.

Master Immortal, this immortal gate is open. Jidao was overjoyed, but not too surprised by the result.

...

Zheng Yun was silent for a moment.

In fact, this phenomenon is very reasonable. The secret realm was guarded until the last generation of the adoptive father. It was completely useless for them to have an ancient city that was flooded in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Perhaps the ancient city of Nanze connected to the secret realm in ancient times, but after it was buried, there was no value in building a passage.

But if you use this logical reasoning.

Where does the fairy gate of Nanze Ancient City lead to?

This makes people think that before, the fairy gate deep in the Immortal Sacrifice Cave did not lead to the secret realm, but to the ancient city of Hongwu.

The Immortal Sacrifice Cave is dedicated to locking the Cold Immortal, which is considered an immortal technique in Hongwu Ancient City, so there is an Immortal Gate specifically connected to it.

So what's going on here?

Is the ancient city of Nanze the magic on the other side of the immortal gate? Or is it that the other side of the Immortal Gate is the Immortal Arts of Nanze Ancient City?

Master Immortal, the water in the attic may not be enough. Let's open the fairy door first and bring some water over for emergencies. Ji Dao now wanted to cross the fairy door and take a look.

Move it.

Zheng Yun put down the black jade pillow.

Opening the fairy gate will consume water. If time is delayed after passing, the fairy gate here may close automatically.

In fact, they are not afraid. Even if the road is cut off after passing, they can still use the black jade pillow to return to Fuen, but they will have to waste half a month to come to Nanze to pick up the black jade pillow.

Wow.

Another puff of white mist dispersed.

The two immortal gates opened opposite each other again.

Ji Dao mobilized his troops to start moving water. The water that was just moved out from the corridor would eventually have to be moved back.

While waiting, Zheng Yun thought about it. There was a fairy gate here, but the road leading here was extremely easy. Not only was there no mechanism, there wasn't even the slightest obstacle.

That’s not to say it’s not difficult.

If you want to enter here, you have to fight against the swamp, and you have to know the exact location of the secret place, otherwise even entering the attic will be useless.

But once you get in, it's smooth.

Obviously there is something wrong.

Maybe the Immortal Supervisor opened the Immortal Gate and took away many people, so this road was smooth?

After waiting for a while, hundreds of Yin soldiers passed through the ancient city of Nanze again, and they forcefully moved water and completely flooded the clear pond.

Jidao also led people upstream, returned to the attic in one breath, filled in the floor tiles, and restored the wall at the waist card mechanism, completely hiding the fairy gate.

You guys keep carrying the water, Master Xian and I will go over and take a look. Jidao ordered, and then immediately looked at Zheng Yundao: Master Xian, how about we change into ancient clothes?

Safety comes first.

Zheng Yun shook his head slightly.

The last time they went to Hongwu Ancient City, they were dressed in modern clothes, which was incompatible with the environment. It would be beneficial to change into ancient clothes, but what if the other section was also a dangerous place with ghosts and ghosts.

Taking off a wetsuit is dangerous.

If you are not careful, you will get tricked.

Then I'll take a few pieces with me first. Master Immortal, there should be ancient clothes of the Immortal Supervisor in the Heavenly Palace. I'll go back and look for them.

Ji Dao hurriedly returned to the secret realm.

He left for twenty minutes, ran back to the secret realm with a large pile of intact ancient clothes, and placed them on the long golden and jade table in the secret realm. They were all immortal supervisor uniforms that Zheng Yun could wear.

No time to look closely at this moment.

Zheng Yun and Jidao were fully prepared. In order to deal with the potential danger on the other side, Zheng Yun asked people to invite Han Xian out. The ghost general led the Yin ghost figurines, and Jidao also invited out the immortal corpse.

This time he was really fully armed.

The painting styles of several people suddenly changed.

Zheng Yun led Han Xian with a jade lantern, and the fairy light shone like enlightenment.

The ghost general is holding the Yin ghost figurine with an iron chain, and the pictures are weird and contrasting with each other.

But Ji Dao was completely different. He was tied to a skinny old man. The old man had white hair and white beard, Xian Feng Dao Gu, and stood behind Ji Dao holding a sword. Looking at his temperament, he thought it was Ji Dao who was being held captive.

Is everything okay? Zheng Yun was slightly worried.

It's okay, I used a strong medicine. At this moment, the immortal corpse is in a state of confusion and has been blocked from all five senses. Its mind and brain are so confused that it can only walk. It can only recover after swallowing the antidote. Jidao said with a smile, claiming credit.

..., then let's go.

Zheng Yun had nothing to say. This method could be used on the ancestors. To make the ancestor's immortal corpse look like this can only be said that Jidao's understanding of the word deceiving the master and destroying the ancestor was different.

With an order.

The Yin soldiers strode across the Immortal Gate.

Ji Dao and Zheng Yun also followed closely behind.

The world is spinning.

Time flies.

After a slight feeling of dizziness, everyone had already jumped to the starry sky and appeared in another fairy gate clear pool.

The white mist shrouded the area and made it difficult to see the outside world.

But as soon as he walked out, Zheng Yun felt that the situation was not good, because there was a strong wind blowing in this place!

Everyone quickly pushed aside the white mist and walked forward.

When they completely walked out of the white fog, they saw the moon and stars above their head, two white moons hanging in the sky, the mountains and fields were hazy and lush, and they were actually in a valley at the moment!

The other end of the fairy gate.

It’s actually open-air!

No, it's not completely open air. There is a pavilion above them, and there is a spring on the cliff behind them that flows into the clear pool, and then flows out from the clear pool into a small river and flows into the distance.

Before they could be shocked, Zheng Yun and Jidao saw at the same time that there was a seven or eight-meter-high stone tablet in front of the right side of the pavilion, with seven large characters imprinted on it in red letters on a gray background:

There is no sea, no sea, no boundless cliffs.
