Endless route

Chapter 301 72. Bring back to Heavenly Palace

OK.

After hearing Zheng Yun's words, Song Wan and Hu Zi immediately closed their eyes and followed Zheng Yun and Gui Jiang obediently.

What they need most now is confidence.

Just like the surviving explorer, he chose to scream to confirm that he was still alive and increase his confidence.

As long as Song Wan and others believe in their hearts that the ghost general and herself can protect them, they will be much safer.

The specific effect depends on how deeply they believe in themselves and the abilities of the ghost generals.

And they have known the ghost general for a long time, and they have seen the ghost general draw his sword more or less.

It is not expected that they can completely believe it deep down in their hearts, but at least it can relieve their psychological pressure to a certain extent.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yun also turned to look at the ghost general, stretched out his hand to lift the ghost general's wrist, and counted their pulse.

Although the ghost general has always acted well from beginning to end, and Zheng Yun has never worried about the safety of the two of them, in fact, the ghost general is also made of flesh and blood, and things may happen in his dreams.

They also have things to fear.

You should still care when you should.

After counting for about ten seconds, Zhengyun suddenly discovered that the ghost general's heartbeat was different from Song Wan's. Their heartbeat was very slow, with a heart rate of only about 80.

It looks like the two of them should be fine.

Zheng Yun had studied the ghost general's heart rate before and found that it was much lower than normal people. Now he was very excited.

Everyone put on a silver mask, including all of you. Zheng Yun turned to Li Wu and spoke.

That's probably not enough face shields.

Li Wu immediately understood what Zheng Yun meant. Those of them who were awake might actually be possessed by ghost dreams. It would be safer if they all wore a silver mask.

It's okay. There are a lot of wooden coffins here. We can continue to look for them. Zheng Yun looked back towards the depths of the lake.

Around the collapse lake, in the shadows of the rainforest where the moonlight cannot shine, there are piles of wooden coffins that floated out during the day.

Plus the wooden coffin in the pit.

It shouldn't be difficult to make up a hundred.

Then we will continue to collect masks here and send them to the Taoist temple? Li Wu asked.

Well, let's just stay here and communicate with the Taoist camp to see how the situation is there and whether there is anything we need to do. Zheng Yun nodded.

I'll get in touch. Li Wu took out his cell phone.

Let the salvage team be careful. I'll go check on the others first. Zheng Yun turned and walked towards the camp tent, where there were many teammates who were trapped in ghost dreams.

The tasks of communicating with the Taoist ruins camp and Zhao Qiufu, as well as simple tasks such as collecting silver masks, can be handed over to Li Wu and asked to take care of them.

OK.

Li Wu nodded and dialed the phone.

Zheng Yun asked the ghost general to escort Huzi Song Wan and others, as well as Hu Ruihua and the others, to the Sunken Lake camp.

Zheng Yun, I have been thinking about one thing on the way here. If these people who were recruited are taken to a place other than the ruins of Nanze Ancient City, will they wake up.

Hu Ruihua made a guess.

It is possible. You can tell Zhang Qiufu that this important decision must be made by the archaeological team.

Zheng Yun nodded.

The risk of transporting hundreds of people out in the depths of the swamp at midnight is very high. They can only make suggestions because they cannot bear the responsibility for making this decision.

Several people walked towards the camp tent. There was a young archaeological team member on duty at the door. When they saw Zheng Yun and others approaching, they gave up their position and allowed them to open a tent and go in.

Each tent has several double beds, and on these beds at the moment, archaeological team members who have fallen asleep are lying.

How did you handle it?

Zheng Yun took one look and asked the team members around him.

There were eight archaeological team members in this tent, each of them tied to the bed with ropes. Everyone was sleeping very peacefully, without any sign of waking up.

They were given a sedative. When Commander Xu Yu asked us to come, he specially brought a high-concentration sedative. The diluted unit can seduce hundreds of people for several days.

When there was an abnormality in the camp just now, we asked the Taoist ruins camp for instructions, and they asked us to fight.

The young team member answered honestly.

...

Zheng Yun was slightly silent.

It seems that Xu Yu, Zhao Qiufu and other old foxes are not unprepared. On the contrary, they have made sufficient preparations, so much that people are speechless.

The archaeological team is indeed professional.

Hu Ruihua also praised after a pause.

When they went on an expedition to the archaeological site, they actually brought so many high-concentration sedatives. They were obviously well prepared, and they even knew the inside story of some ruins.

Is it causing serious damage to the human body?

Zheng Yun found one of the archaeological team members and observed his physical condition. He found that their heart rates were within the normal range, as if they were all in a deep coma.

This sedative seems to have an inhibitory effect on brain activity. After this injection, I can't dream at all.

It is indeed a solution.

And it's a very useful method.

Those old foxes can definitely do this kind of thing, but it's a bit hard to do, and their hands are too sure and cruel.

It's okay. This kind of medicine is quite special. When I was in college, I only heard the teacher mention it once or twice.

The young team member nodded.

Hearing this, Zheng Yun looked back at him. From what he meant, he seemed to be a medical student.

And along the way, the Sunken Lake camp was basically full of young people, and it seemed that the old fox had deliberately arranged it.

After all, young people's bodies are more resistant to damage and they dare to take medicine if something goes wrong. Once or twice, there won't be any problem.

In this case, it seems that Huzi and the others can take a shot. They are all young people and can withstand this shot.

Brother Zheng, what do you think we are doing? I don't want to get an injection. Just let me wake up. I'm so stupid!

Huzi spoke quickly.

He would rather continue exploring with Zheng Yun than lie upright on the bed like a dead person.

Xiao Hu and Song Wan also looked at Zheng Yun. They had the same idea. It didn't matter if they got an injection. The key was that after lying here, everything about life and death would be left to others.

Forget it, come with me.

Zheng Yun had other ideas in mind, and led them out of the tent, then turned to Hu Ruihua and said, Brother Hu, just follow them to the lake to open the coffin and collect the masks.

Can.

Hu Ruihua took Lao Meng towards the lake.

Zheng Yun looked at Li Wu next to him, who was still communicating with his mobile phone. When he saw Zheng Yun coming, he quickly walked to him and explained the situation to him succinctly:

I have reported everything we have seen, from the situation in the camp to the burial pits deep in the collapsed lake.

The situation in the Taoist ruins camp is not bad. The situation is under control. All the masks we sent have been used. We are now asking the surviving explorer about the situation.

But the two teams that entered the Taoist ruins discovered some anomalies and are currently exploring them.

Commander Zhao asked us to stay here. There are not many areas to explore in the Taoist ruins. The danger level is controllable. The focus of exploration is the burial pits on the side of the collapse lake.

Okay, let's stay here.

Zheng Yun nodded. He didn't want to go back to the Taoist ruins camp. There was an archaeological team there to explore in person. There shouldn't be any big problems and there was no need to go back and forth on his own.

I will continue to retrieve the wooden coffin.

Li Wu put away his cell phone and went straight to the kayak.

Zheng Yun thought for a moment and realized that the situation in the two camps was currently under control. Song Wanhuzi and others were already around. As long as Guimeng did not change, nothing would happen.

Then he should open the fairy gate and return to the secret realm now to see if the little Taoist priest and the others have found relevant ancient books, and then go to W-07 to see if Ji Dao has given a reply.

Think of this.

Zheng Yun took Song Wan and others to the lakeside, boarded a kayak, started the engine and drove to the far side of the collapsed lake.

At this moment, there were many kayaks on the entire collapsed lake, concentrated near the north shore of the lake. The flashlights in the hands of the archaeological team illuminated most of the collapsed lake.

They are salvaging the wooden coffin.

But there were still a lot of shadows on the west side of the collapsed lake. Zheng Yun's target was those shadows. He drove the kayak straight to the west bank and asked Song Wan and the others to turn off the lights in their hands.

Brother Zheng, where are we going?

Huzi looked at the increasingly gloomy and dark scene around him, shrank his neck behind the kayak and asked.

In his eyes, the lake was not so quiet, but was filled with a lot of strange shadows.

Close your eyes and don't look too much, and don't think too much. I'll take you to an absolutely safe place.

Zheng Yun quickly spoke to give them confidence, then opened the backpacks they brought this time, and took out a few eye masks from a large amount of expedition equipment and distributed them to everyone for them to wear.

OK.

When Huzi heard this, he gave up thinking on the spot. Zheng Yun couldn't harm them anyway. He said that if it was absolutely safe, it must be safe, even so safe that it could no longer be safe.

Brother Zheng, are you taking us there...

Song Wan had some vague guesses.

Don't think too much. Zheng Yun did not answer directly, but personally put the eyepatch on Song Wan's eyes.

He planned to take Song Wan and the others into the secret realm.

On the one hand, it is because the secret realm is absolutely safe, and on the other hand, it is necessary to try whether the method Hu Ruihua said is feasible.

Is it possible that taking those who have been tricked away from the ancient city of Nanze will free them from ghost dreams and get rid of their control?

Zheng Yun believes that this is feasible, because the surviving explorers also said that ghost dreams are likely to be a special magnetic field, which has geographical restrictions and limitations.

But where they are now is several kilometers away from the ancient city of Nanze. The road conditions are extremely bad and the night driving environment is very dangerous. They may not be able to reach them for several hours.

And the ancient city of Nanze is not the end. They still have to go from the ancient city of Nanze to the gold rush town camp, which will waste a lot of time, and they are not sure of getting rid of it completely.

Because last year's explorer disaster also occurred near the gold rush town camp, it may not be possible to get rid of the influence of ghost dreams, and only by getting on a boat and going to sea can one completely escape.

At this moment, Zheng Yun does not need to consider the transfer of the entire archaeological team, he only needs to try it first.

So for him, the fastest way is to open the Immortal Gate, jump through space to the secret realm, and observe whether Song Wanhuzi's symptoms will be alleviated to some extent.

The purpose of wearing blindfolds on them is not entirely to avoid suspicion, but mainly because they are afraid that in this state, they will have some more terrifying hallucinations after seeing the fairy gate and the secret realm.

Just wear it.

Send it directly to Tiangong to find a place to rest.

While thinking, the kayak had docked. Zheng Yun and a few people jumped out of the boat and opened the fairy gate in a hidden part of the rain forest, allowing the ghost general and Huzi Xiaohu to step inside.

Zheng Yun took Song Wan's hand and led her into the secret realm for the first time after a pause.

It's very quiet in the secret realm.

The cool night breeze blew through the hall.

It is always night in the secret realm. After the little Taoist priest guarding the door leaves, there are only a group of evil soldiers and ghost generals in the entire secret realm.

But there were nearly two hundred of them, and they were all standing beside the stone pillars on both sides of the secret realm, saying nothing, or even standing quietly without moving.

If Song Wanhuzi and the others were to see this scene, they would be shocked even if they were not affected by ghost dreams.

Brother Zheng, what is this place?

Song Wan's eyes were covered and she held Zheng Yun's hand tightly, but she could clearly feel that she had arrived at another place, a very strange place.

Because the temperature was different, a very comfortable breeze blew through the diving suit on her body, passing through the light fabric to her skin, feeling refreshing and cool.

This slightly cold feeling is not possible in tropical swamp ecology, and it is also not found near the entire ancient city of Nanze, or even near the entire coastline.

She didn't know where she had gone, but it must be a very far away place, possibly far beyond her imagination, but she was not afraid at all...

The place you've always wanted to be.

Zheng Yun looked at Hu Zi in front of him and answered softly.

The place I've always wanted to come to? That's not the town of La Maine... Song Wan subconsciously asked in a murmured voice.

No, don't think about it.

Zheng Yun's expression darkened. What was going on in Song Wan's mind? Why did he take her to La Maine Town when he had nothing to do?

Then... Song Wan's heartbeat accelerated.

There is a flight of stairs, be careful.

Zheng Yun didn't wait for Song Wan to ask again, and gently pulled her down the steps towards the fairy gate where the Tiangong Palace was located.

Brother Zheng, why didn't you remind me? Huzi complained from the front. He was slipped down by the ghost general.

Say less and leave quickly.

Zheng Yun didn't say much, and quickly led them through the Immortal Gate of the Heavenly Palace, entered the Heavenly Palace from the secret realm, and took them to find a loft in a separate courtyard near the Immortal Gate to rest temporarily.

This villa is relatively closed.

Its terrain is low and it is located in the recess of the mountain peak. You can't see the fairy scenes of the Heavenly Palace, nor can you see the tricks of the gods and ghosts in the Heavenly Palace. There are only the Immortal Burial Valley and the hazy sea of ​​clouds in front of it.

But it can't be ruled out that occasionally one or two cranes will fly over the courtyard and startle them.

You can take off the blindfold now. Just rest here and don't move around. Zheng Yun took off Song Wan's blindfold and let Song Wan see her surroundings.

It was just dark in the Heavenly Palace.

There is an ancient scene in all directions.

The ancient courtyard was very elegant, with a blue brick attic and black tile eaves. There were beautiful flowers and jade trees in the courtyard and a water tank to catch the rain.

Song Wan subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth.

Seeing this, they all instantly understood that they had not gone to a distant place, but had completely left E-07 and crossed the starry sky to another planet!
