Endless route

Chapter 152 59. Ancient battlefield [two-in-one]

Zheng Yun and Jidao did not dare to act rashly here. They carefully observed the surrounding environment and saw everything at the bottom of the well clearly, and finally came to a strange conclusion.

This place seems to be a sewer.

Because above their heads, below their feet, and in all directions, they were all built with green bricks. The walls were neatly built and their feet were very smooth. It looked like they were built artificially.

Also the space is very narrow.

The height and width of the water channel are only 1.67 meters, which is obviously not for people to walk. The width of the well head is only 1 meter in diameter. Ji Dao may get stuck if he jumps into the well and commits suicide.

Ancient cities also had sewers, and in many places with special environments, sewers were built in very regular and large sizes, which were not much worse than modern sewers.

It's like a sewer here.

But it is not an ordinary sewer, but a sewer that handles special things. It does not carry domestic sewage or garbage, only the corpses of tongueless things.

"Master Xian, I can hear the people above talking. They are indeed speaking in Mandarin. They seem to be asking what to eat tonight. It doesn't sound dangerous."

Ji Dao's ears are more sensitive, he can hear more information, and can even hear the conversations of people far away.

Zheng Yun did not speak.

What to eat tonight?

It sounded quite peaceful. At least they weren't talking about 'what's going to eat me tonight'. It sounded like an ordinary place that had been abandoned, where ancient people lived according to rules.

But that's not necessarily the case. If the place above is shrouded by something supernatural, the people trapped here will have no choice but to survive, eating and drinking as much as they can.

Otherwise, what else can we do?

You can't talk about weirdness every day.

He looked up at the faint red mist in the air outside. He had no idea what the red mist was. It made the bright moon above his head exude a strange aura.

"Move forward."

Zheng Yun turned his head and looked deeper.

Ignoring the above situation for the moment, from a purely rational perspective, they should move forward.

There is more than one wellhead in this waterway. The Taoist priest also said just now that the body of the tongueless thing was dropped from this wellhead, so they should not go out from this wellhead.

Because this wellhead is ‘busy with business’.

They had to climb for a while even at a height of 100 meters. If someone came to throw the corpse, they might be attacked. They wouldn't even have time to say a word before they would be slashed by the opponent's knife.

Have to guard against it.

They had all thrown the corpses, and there were probably weapons on them, and they were thrown well. If they suddenly saw something climbing up from the mouth of the well, they would inevitably attack subconsciously.

It's better to change to a 'unpopular' wellhead.

Then quietly climb up and observe the surrounding environment.

Jidao nodded immediately, followed Zheng Yun's instructions, and walked quickly along the waterway, still moving slightly and not daring to make a sound, so as not to be heard by the people above.

But this waterway is extremely long.

The flashlight beam can't reach the bottom.

The four of them walked for a long time, passing two or three wellheads, with a span of more than a thousand meters, before reaching the middle of the waterway, and then stopped to listen.

There was still movement up there.

But it's much quieter than before.

Snap.

Suddenly there was a sound of water.

Several people immediately looked back, only to see a tongueless corpse falling from a well mouth behind them. It was washed away along the current, and rushed to where they came from.

"Move forward?"

Ji Dao whispered.

Zheng Yun looked up at the top of his head. The scene was still the same here. Outside the 100-meter-high well wall, he could only see a bright moon and a faint red mist, but nothing else could be seen.

"Let's go." Zheng Yun nodded.

This wellhead is still in the open air, and it may not be covered outside. They can go further and choose a suitable wellhead from so many wellheads before climbing.

So a few people continued to go deeper.

The water in the waterway is very clear, and it is still surrounded by bluestones, almost no different from the original.

Zheng Yun always paid attention to the touch of his feet. Their plastic wrap was tied well and there was no leakage when they were running in the water.

Went away for a long time.

Several people stopped again.

This wellhead is different from before. There is a tree cover above the head, and it is also a willow tree. Its green branches hang down to the edge of the wellhead, just like an ordinary well in the countryside.

Listen carefully.

It's very quiet up there.

"Let's just go here." Zheng Yun nodded to Jidao. After a rough calculation, they had already walked three to four thousand meters. If they went further, they would not know where they would go.

"Master Immortal, let me go first."

Ji Dao looked up and saw that the mouth of the well was narrow and there were interlaced seams of blue bricks. He didn't even need a rope. He could climb up bit by bit with only the support of his hands and feet.

"Be careful."

Zheng Yun patted him.

"Master Xian, ask Master Gui to help me." Jidao smiled awkwardly. He couldn't jump to this height.

Zheng Yun immediately did as he was told and asked the ghost general to hold his legs, lift him up and stuff him into the well. After he got his arms out of his body, he let go and let him climb up bit by bit.

Use this time.

Zheng Yun looked around again with the flashlight.

Since they walked here, they haven't seen the tongueless thing falling from the wellhead. This should be a relatively idle wellhead, and there is a bunker above it.

You should have made the right choice.

It's just hard to tell what's on it.

Zheng Yun looked up and watched Ji Dao climb up. It was useless to guess now. He would know after Ji Dao climbed up.

It's a pity that Ji Dao climbed a little slowly.

He had just climbed a few hundred meters of rock wall, and now it was a hundred meters deep well. He was also a little out of breath.

Fortunately, no one came during the period.

Ji Dao slowly climbed to the top.

Zheng Yunneng saw with his own eyes that Ji Dao's head, wrapped in plastic wrap, was illuminated by the moonlight and even reflected a little. With a squirming movement, his head poked out of the well.

Then he stopped moving.

He was lying on the edge of the well, his hands lying on the well, his upper body slightly curled back, only a pair of eyes exposed, staring in one direction.

Zheng Yun looked very anxious.

But I can't rush him now.

After waiting for a long time, Ji Dao suddenly made a move. He kicked off the wall of the well with his calves, his round belly inhaled and contracted, and with a strong movement of his hands, he jumped up from the mouth of the well with great dexterity.

He actually went up.

Zheng Yun was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, Ji Dao's head reappeared and dropped a rope.

The meaning is obvious.

It's safe up there for now.

You can go up and see for yourself.

So why are you hesitating? Zheng Yun was already suffering from the waiting. He immediately asked the two ghost generals to lift him up, grabbed the rope to use force, and at the same time used his feet to climb up.

He is faster than Noriichi.

It didn't take long for him to climb to the wellhead, hold his head on the edge of the well, and look around eagerly at the outside scene.

The results were unexpected.

The bright moon overhead casts soft light, providing weak illumination, but in front of us was an ordinary village.

The well is under a huge old willow tree with thousands of branches. There is a stone table and several stone benches in the front right, and the willow tree is surrounded by a circle of blue bricks.

It's dark here.

The shadows created by the trees blocking the moonlight, coupled with countless weeping willow branches, were enough to cover the two people and the well.

Look into the distance.

It is surrounded by very simple blue brick houses, with gravel paths and lush trees interspersed among them. The cool night breeze blows by, and the willow branches sway slightly, which is peaceful and peaceful.

Look further into the distance.

At the end of the alley between the elegant blue brick houses, you can see some figures walking around with lanterns. They are in the darkness of the alley where the moonlight cannot shine, like watchmen in ancient times.

"The sky is dry and everything is dry."

"Be careful with the candle."

Zheng Yun seemed to have hallucinated these two sentences.

"Master Xian, look behind you." Jidao suddenly spoke.

Zheng Yun took a look at Jidao first. He was crouching beside the wellhead, his upper body covered by willow branches, and his whole face protruding from the branches. There was something indescribably weird about the scene.

There won't be any problem with this willow tree, right?

If this willow tree is touched by gods and ghosts, then they will really throw themselves into their arms and take the initiative to crawl into the place where they die.

He looked up.

Willow should be fine.

Then Zheng Yun turned around and looked in the direction of Jidao's finger. After one glance, Zheng Yun's whole body trembled.

There is a city wall in the distance.

This city wall is thirty meters high, and it is all made of huge blue bricks. There is no end to the left and right. It is completely an ancient city wall in the style of the Ming Dynasty.

And there are people on the walls.

They could clearly see the blazing flames burning on the watchtower of the city wall, and the huge bronze mirrors refracting the firelight. They glanced left and right at the situation under the city wall, wary of something.

"hiss."

Zheng Yun gasped.

This place is really a forgotten place! And you can tell at a glance that this place must be related to the ancient battlefield! My guesses were all correct, but they made me shudder!

Whether it's the adoptive father leaving a picture.

These are Master Ji Dao’s last words.

There was also the bizarre defeat of the Ming Dynasty.

and the inexplicable disappearance of Triton.

They are all inseparable from this ancient battlefield!

Zheng Yun was shocked. He was completely different from Jidao. He grew up in modern times and didn't have a very deep concept of the Ming Dynasty. They all came from history classes and stories told by his adoptive father.

He knew that in its heyday, the Ming Dynasty was able to attract all nations to come to the DPRK, and it was even possible to build Qianxiantai, a place where the Western Gods could come to the DPRK.

However, the Ming Dynasty was lonely and desolate. It failed to catch up with the scientific and technological revolution, and many foreign territories were encroached on by the West.

Later, when he came into contact with the metaphysics of gods and ghosts, he had a profound understanding of the Ming Dynasty and knew that the Ming Dynasty was definitely not simple.

Especially after knowing about Haiwei Supervisor Xiansi.

Behind the powerful Ming Dynasty in his mind, countless demons, fairies and ghosts appeared faintly. They covered the sky and the sun and secretly supported the strong national power of the Ming Dynasty.

But the two are separated.

Zheng Yun really couldn't understand that during the confrontation between East and West, Haiwei never stopped, and the gods and ghosts disappeared, so much so that Zheng Yun felt that there were no gods and ghosts in the world.

Although it can now be viewed dialectically.

The metaphysics of gods and ghosts does not conflict with science, but the methods and angles of studying certain things are different. If we insist on comparing them, it is because science has not caught up with the metaphysics of gods and ghosts.

What cannot be explained by science is mystical science.

But through the most systematic extraterritorial exploration in human history, Daming Haiwei summarized and summarized in dangerous places, and found out how to use the metaphysics of gods and ghosts. No matter what the principle is, it only needs to be usable, useful, and easy to use.

Daming and Haiwei, who had such abilities, died suddenly without any struggle from beginning to end.

Obviously they could resist, so they led Han Xian out to ambush the Western Fleet. With Han Xian's hunting efficiency and method, they could probably wipe out even the port in one day.

This is really no joke.

There is no problem of using it as useless.

The West is already using battleships and cannons, so what if the East is using some magic tricks? Triton still has moral issues?

Thick doubts lingered in my heart.

Ever since he released Ji Dao from the Heavenly Palace, Zheng Yun has been wondering where Haiwei has gone, and has also been speculating whether Haiwei was dragged down by something.

Now the answer is revealed.

It's possible Triton was really held back.

Whether it is Jiuzhou Mountain or other ancient battlefields, the dangers involved in the mysticism of gods and ghosts require the entire nation of the Ming Dynasty to defend themselves against it.

So what exactly is there in these places?

Forced Haiwei not even to care about the Ming Dynasty, rather than the Ming Dynasty dying, he must take good care of these ancient battlefields first?

Just like this place in front of me.

What's outside that wall? Where did these tongueless corpses all over the ground come from?

"Master Immortal, are we showing up?"

Ji Dao lowered his voice and asked.

He was sure that this place was Triton's territory, so he wanted to use his badge to recognize these people and understand the situation.

"I'm afraid not."

Zheng Yun shook his head with a solemn expression.

Until his death, the adoptive father never officially passed down the black jade pillow, nor did he explain it to anyone. He only vaguely mentioned that the black jade pillow was a talisman. Opening it when encountering 'something' could keep the family safe.

There must be a reason for this.

The adoptive father and Ji Dao's master made the same choice. They actually gave up on the ancient battlefield.

They abandoned these abandoned places, completely sealed all entrances and exits, and left the world to its fate.

Since they all chose to give up, what could he and Ji Dao do? Even more seriously, this is not a question of whether something can be done, but a question of whether it will cause trouble.

If there is something here that cannot be brought to the human world, and he and Jidao accidentally bring it back, then they will be sinners and have caused a catastrophic disaster that cannot be punished.

Just like Hanxian.

Another example is Jiuzhou Mountain.

Even the Ghost Seal and the Hou Seal.

Once these things enter the city, they will create disasters one after another. Modern technology cannot solve them at all, and cannot even understand them. What can we do to solve them?

In order to solve these things, Haiwei has sacrificed countless lives. The whole army was annihilated in the attack on Hades Pavilion, and the boat master was annihilated in the battle against the sea monster. All of them were filled with lives.

Should I fill it out again?

Let modern people also feel what the Ming Dynasty was fighting against, and let modern people understand what is the integrity of the Ming Dynasty?

Why should it be?

This is irresponsible behavior.

In order to satisfy curiosity, the hard work of dozens of generations of sea guards was burned, and they sacrificed their lives for the disaster, and used their own cerebellum to float back to the world.

This is something Zheng Yun cannot bear.

It even takes life to stop it!

When things got to this point, Zheng Yun completely understood that his adoptive father drew a circle on W-08 to prevent this place from being discovered by the West and prevent it from connecting to the human world!

The archaeological team and the scientific expedition team died unjustly.

No matter what dynasty or generation they are, their behavior of breaking into the hole and trying to find the 'door' must be a capital crime. Even if they don't know it, it is still a capital crime!
