Endless route

Chapter 364 4. Song Wan’s perspective and returning to Wuhai

By a clear stream deep in the rainforest, Zheng Yun and his group built a platform on the tree roots, sat under the shade of the dense trees, soaked their legs in the water, and felt the long-lost coolness.

"The fish is on."

Huzi exclaimed and raised the pole excitedly.

The fishing line hanging into the water was suddenly pulled up until the fishhook emerged from the water, only to see a small pocket fish hanging at the end, which was at most two inches, with a head larger than its body.

"It's so funny, it's not enough for one bite."

Xiao Hu smiled and mocked Hu Zi.

"At least I caught a fish. Look at what weird things you caught."

Huzi still looked proud.

They had been fishing for such a long time, but they had barely caught a few fish in the conventional sense. They were all weird creatures from the swamp ecosystem, and they were so long that they made people frown.

Strictly speaking.

Many of them are fish.

But judging from the perspective of food and appetite, those swamp creatures are indeed not 'fish' on the human diet.

"Brother Zheng is worried?"

Song Wan gently lifted the fishing rod, and there was a foot-long big fish hanging on the hook. It was jumping vigorously and causing a lot of water splash, but she turned her head and looked at Zheng Yun beside her as if she didn't hear anything.

Zheng Yun also has a fishing rod in his hand.

But he always looked in the direction of Nanze Ancient City, his expression solemn and full of thoughts, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"It's nothing, just because I can't catch any fish."

Zheng Yun shook his head with a smile, stretched out his hand to hold Song Wan's fishing rod, and fished with her. This fish was the largest and most normal fish so far, and it was difficult to control when struggling.

"Um."

Song Wan stared at Zheng Yun's eyes at close range. Based on her understanding of Zheng Yun, it was obvious that Zheng Yun was not telling the truth. He liked to sigh and smile when changing the topic.

But Song Wan never asked too much.

She would only respond with a slight hum.

Zheng Yun often doesn't tell the truth, especially when it comes to certain dangerous places. Only half of the ten sentences are true, and the rest are montage-style 'true lies'.

The words are true.

But it’s also hidden.

He only said what he could say, and he didn't say a word about what he couldn't. The things he hid were always mysterious and dangerous, but there was no trace of them on his face.

Brother Zheng is very good at lying.

He could always walk by with a smile on his face so that no one could tell what he was thinking, but in fact he couldn't coax the people around him.

Because when he is concentrating, he will not guard against the people around him, and will subconsciously ignore a person who has a low sense of presence, doesn't talk much, and just looks at him silently.

For example, at Qianxiantai.

When they first arrived at Qianxiantai, Zheng Yun took out a hand-drawn map with several red marks on it, like a road map pointing out three places.

Zheng Yun did not shy away from this matter.

The map is on the table.

Zheng Yun's goal when he went to Qianxiantai was Red Label, and he took himself and Liu Ming to go around together.

At that time, they went to the first two red labels and found nothing unusual, but it felt eerie and something was wrong. Zheng Yun didn't say anything on the way back, he just took her around, talking and laughing aimlessly around Qianxiantai.

Song Wan thought that at that time.

It was just a simple good time, fun and memorable, but not 'photograph-worthy'.

But later, during the rescue of Professor Zhang, they went around in circles and finally went to the place marked by the red circle.

There is a stone statue in the first red circle.

It is a key artifact to suppress the sea monster.

That night, Zheng Yun, Hu Ruihua and dozens of other people, armed with guns and ammunition, sneaked into Qianxiantai and snatched the statue from a Taoist priest who claimed to be the Ghost Suppressor.

Song Wan was also present at the time.

When she learned that the place where the statue was stolen was the red circle on Zheng Yun's map, she was extremely shocked.

Zheng Yun actually had clues about the Zhenhai Stone Statue before he went to Qianxiantai and before Professor Zhang was killed. He knew that the key to suppressing the sea monster was in the red circle.

Maybe Zheng Yun didn't realize it at the time.

But this clue is actually enough to prove that Zheng Yun's identity and purpose are by no means that simple.

Liu Ming should have discovered it too.

They unanimously chose to keep it secret.

As for the ghost general, he actually came from Hades Pavilion, and even Liu Ming didn't know about the last thing that happened in Qianxiantai.

After Professor Zhang was rescued, Qianxian Dojo, the largest dojo on Qianxiandai with the most pilgrims, accidentally caught fire, and many people died in the raging fire.

Song Wan found out after watching the news.

But the moment she saw the news, she realized that it must be Zheng Yun who led the ghost to do this.

Because on Zheng Yun's route map, the third red circle marked is the Thousand Immortals Dojo. Like the first red circle, the Thousand Immortals Dojo is also Zheng Yun's goal.

They didn't go to Qianxian Dojo at first, just because Qianxian Dojo was on the mountain. The three of them looked at the map for a while and felt that the circle halfway up the mountain was far away, so they held milk tea drinks and wandered back to the hotel...

And later in the arctic mountains.

In fact, Song Wan also saw many things. For example, the death of the Western archaeological team twenty years ago had a certain relationship with Zheng Yun, and the whereabouts of the crazy surviving explorer.

At that time, Hu Ruihua and Hu Zi were the first to discover a crazy surviving explorer in an ice cave, claiming to be the only survivor of the archaeological team twenty years ago.

He actually lived in the glacier for twenty years.

Song Wan knew about this, and even knew that his name was Kedester, as the explorer himself said.

But then the man disappeared.

When Zheng Yun and Ji Dao came out, they did not rescue the man, nor did they explain the man's whereabouts later.

This incident has become an eternal mystery.

Huzi and Liu Ming secretly guessed it later out of curiosity, but Hu Ruihua did not allow them to ask.

And Song Wan knew the answer.

Although I only found out later.

Because the Western explorer named Kedester actually appeared in Li Xiya's circle of friends, and at the center of the photo were Zheng Yun and Ji Dao...

Scroll through the photo further.

Then you can learn other secrets.

Zheng Yun went to an island in W-07. With very professional diving equipment and a half-baked team, he conducted another very mysterious large-scale exploration.

Licia is a fortune teller in the town of La Maine.

Kedest is a survivor of the arctic mountains.

Combined with the ghost generals in Hades Pavilion, this information can lead to another conclusion...Zheng Yun turned all of these people into Yin soldiers, just like Huzi and Xiaohu back then.

These secrets lie deep within her.

She never told anyone about it.

As time goes by, you save more and more.

Song Wan did not take the initiative to investigate, and she never took the initiative to ask, but these extremely secret information that might even harm Zheng Yun would appear in front of her 'accidentally', and she couldn't even think about it, because she wanted to see it...

She was indeed interested.

I'm curious from the bottom of my heart.

She never hid this.

Every time she had any clues, she would go to Zheng Yun and look at the map on the table, or look at the latest news, videos and photos of ancient books on her phone.

And Zheng Yun never rejected her, never pushed her head away. He could look at the map if he wanted to, and just let her hold it if he wanted to look at his phone. He would notify her of any news as soon as possible.

Getting clues is easy.

Then just use your brain a little bit.

You can discover a secret about Zheng Yun...

And this time in Nanze Ancient City.

What Zheng Yun did in Ancient City No. 2 and No. 3 can be seen from the reaction of the Western expedition team. The information caused a stir in the city, and everyone in the camp was discussing it.

Including the supervisor taking away the sarcophagus.

From the perspective of others, this ancient Immortal Supervisor is like a mysterious heavenly soldier resurrected from ancient times, but in Song Wan's eyes, the Immortal Supervisor has always been beside her and in front of her.

Because during her quarantine, she saw a very familiar face again in the quarantine area of ​​the Royal Expedition.

Kedester.

He actually came to Nanze.

Although he didn't know himself, he knew him. He was exactly the same as the person in Li Xiya's circle of friends.

Many things are not surprising at all. Kedester is Zheng Yun’s undercover agent in the Royal Expedition. What happens next can be guessed without thinking carefully...

It was so unconscious.

She already knows many, many secrets of Zheng Yun, and she basically knows what Zheng Yun has done.

In the final analysis, it was because although Zheng Yun always concealed something, he did not guard against her, and often even subconsciously ignored her and did not include her in his calculations.

This should be a sign of trust.

It is also a tacit understanding that started from the ghost general.

Maybe Zheng Yun already knew that she knew, but she never mentioned it, and she would not take the initiative to say it. No matter what Zheng Yun was hiding, she would just hum.

Because it doesn't matter.

We will know in the future.

Although it will be later, today's worries will be "accidentally" discovered by her one day in the future, and at this moment, she only needs to "help Zheng Yun fish."

Haven’t you even been to the Heavenly Palace?

Ji Dao also gave a sapphire lady bottle.

It's interesting to say that my first reaction at the time was that this jade bottle was a key instrument that could help Zheng Yun solve the problem or save Zheng Yun's life at a critical moment.

Because the situation at that time was that the underground of the Sinking Lake was extremely dangerous, Zheng Yunjidao had already entered a dream and asked Song Wan and others to return to the Sinking Lake camp and give them some diving suits.

at this moment.

Before leaving the Heavenly Palace, Jidao suddenly sent a beautiful sapphire lady vase. He only hurriedly said that Zheng Yun asked him to send it, but did not explain in detail.

In that crisis situation.

Who would have thought that an alabaster vase could be a gift?

Moreover, the jade bottle is exquisitely made with a blend of green and pink, and the color combination is pleasing to the eye. At first glance, it looks like a very precious ancient cultural relic, and it is among the top collections in museums.

This rare ancient cultural relic is unimaginably precious and too expensive to accept.

What is it if it's not a game-breaking tool?

The jade bottle must be an ancient artifact from gods and ghosts!

So she took the jade bottle and returned to the Sunken Lake camp. She hugged the jade bottle and the walkie-talkie tightly by the lake and stared at the dark and deep lake for most of the night.

Any wave on the lake, any refraction of a searchlight, any movement in the wind would make her heart beat faster, her breathing quicken, and her whole body tremble slightly.

She was very nervous at the time.

But she was prepared to deliver the jade bottle to Zheng Yun no matter what strange situation happened.

Just like when she was in Hades Pavilion, Zheng Yun made herself smoke all the time. Although she didn't like the smell of cigarettes, she still obeyed and followed Zheng Yun's side attentively.

As long as it is a task given by Zheng Yun, she must do it well, and she cannot hold back and cause Zheng Yun to get into trouble.

But not until it's over.

No one asked her for the jade bottle.

During the quarantine, she quietly told Zheng Yun that she had hidden the jade bottle in the trunk of the off-road vehicle, and she would take him to get it when the quarantine was over and return it to the ancient heavenly palace.

In the end, Zheng Yuncai said with a smile.

That was a meeting gift given to her by Ji Dao. It was not a so-called key antique, just an ordinary gift...

The thought of this.

Song Wandu's cheeks felt hot.

Partly because she felt embarrassed, she actually kept holding the jade bottle by the lake, and the other half was because of other reasons...

"My Sister Song! What time has it been and you still have time to lose your focus? Quickly raise the pole, the fish is going to run away! I'm so worried!"

Huzi was originally full of envy, but Song Wan and Zheng Yun were both absent-minded and didn't know what they were thinking. Seeing that the big fish was about to run away, he finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He yelled to remind the two of them, and at the same time he dropped the fishing rod in a panic, jumped directly into the stream, and used his body to intercept the fish that was about to escape the hook.

"You're not wearing a wetsuit."

Zheng Yun came to his senses and quickly reminded that the sequelae of exploring the ancient city of Nanze is that anyone who goes into the water without a diving suit will make Zheng Yun worried that he will be parasitized by the demon ghost bell.

Although Huzi has been sent many times by many kinds of gods, ghosts and evil objects, once or twice, it still doesn't work.

Wow.

The tiger plunged into the water.

The water on the river was splashing, and the bubbles kept rising. The fierce fight with the big fish caused the stream to be turbulent. It lasted for more than a minute before the winner was finally determined.

Huzi knocked out the big fish with one punch.

Hold the fish body and come out of the water.

The whole person was smiling happily and said to the shore: "I'm just saying, this family can't survive without me!"

"..."

Zheng Yun smiled and said nothing.

Others were dumbfounded.

This is nothing, even if the fish is let go, there is plenty of fresh meat in the storage box for roasting.

But watching Hu Zi killing and grilling the fish quickly, and as time went by, the aroma of the meat whetted his appetite, Zheng Yun couldn't help but look towards the main urban area of ​​Nanze Ancient City.

I don’t know what’s going on with Ji Dao.

Although he was fishing here to relax, he could not "sit firmly on the Diaoyutai" like the ancients did. He was still worried about Ji Dao's safety and worried that something might happen to Ji Dao...

…

the other side.

The main urban area of ​​Nanze Ancient City.

After parting ways with Zheng Yun and others, Jidao walked into the ancient city of Nanze with two ghost generals. As soon as he reached the halfway point, Jidao's face darkened because the ancient city wall of Nanze was comparable to a tourist attraction.

It’s densely packed with explorers.

Camps and tents were placed on the ancient city wall one after another, leaving the ancient brick wall full of vicissitudes of life in a mess. The road and the mud on both sides were full of domestic garbage.

The crack in the ancient city wall they entered before was overcrowded. There was even a group that blocked the crack and filled it with equipment, and stood by to collect equipment usage fees.

Their ropes fill the gap.

There is no rope that can hold other explorers.

If you want to enter the ancient city of Nanze through this gap, you must pay a fee to rent a rope from this team.

This road was opened by him, and this tree was planted by him. Do you want to live from now on and leave the money to buy the road? What is this if not a bandit?

But you drove the road?

Did you build this ancient city?

Where is this place, where is your turn to be a bandit? Are you the onion? Can I buy road money here?

This situation made Ji Dao so angry that he wanted to draw his sword on the spot and kill these explorers with two or three blows.

But after taking a deep breath.

Ji Dao still endured it.

There is no time to argue with these little people now. Master Dao has a big thing to do. If you can still see this scene when you come back, then just wait for Master Dao to deal with you.

So Ji Dao chose to take a detour.

He and Gui Jiang have archaeological team identity cards and can enter the ancient city from the ancient city wall tower occupied by Gu Bo.

The follow-up went smoothly.

They go straight to the underground waterway.

Using the same route as before, first go to the deepest sewer, go around in the mud, get into the corridor outside the door of the Spiritual Throne Tower, and then go to the core of Dusi Mansion.

There is already an archaeological team at the Spiritual Throne Tower.

Through the drawings left by Zheng Yun, they successfully entered the Spiritual Throne Tower and are rescuing those fragile antiquities.

Ji Dao and Gui Jiang did not stop, and went all the way to the almost completely enclosed ancient charm attic. After confirming that there were no explorers nearby, they moved the floor and got into the core corridor.

Below is Nanze Xianmen.

Have been here once before.

Ji Dao diverted water in advance to open the black jade pillow, took Hanxian and other means to protect himself, and opened the fairy gate after making full preparations.

Even if there are thousands of troops on the opposite side.

Ji Dao was not afraid at all, and was even confident that he could kill the opponent and regain control of the Immortal Sect.

Wow.

The fairy gate opens normally.

Ji Dao and others took one step forward.

Enter Wuhaixianzhou again.
