Endless route

Chapter 387 27. The Lost Map of the Earth and the Heavenly Palace in the West

In a simple camp deep in the tropical rainforest, Zheng Yunjidao stared at the screen in silence for a long time. The shadowy soldier in the picture was still carrying a camera and looking around, trying to find other discoveries.

Neither of them moved.

Only Yin soldiers swim in the water.

The scene in the picture is constantly changing, constantly moving in the basement hall, turning the entire basement in a circle.

No other findings were found.

Almost as they guessed, the Triton basement of Tianji Lighthouse showed a sense of desolation that had been abandoned for a long time, with only some ancient artifacts scattered in the corners.

There are actually quite a few.

There are also many types.

If placed in other dangerous places, just these things in the corners would be considered to be very fruitful, more than every time before, and even a few off-road vehicles would not be able to pull them all.

But I'm afraid of comparison.

The entire Triton basement is huge, with six or seven areas in it, and the number of gods, ghosts and antiquities it can accommodate is terrifying.

Such a big warehouse.

Now that's all that's left.

To use an inappropriate but very apt metaphor, the scene in front of me is like a tomb robber in an ancient tomb who got there first and removed most of the valuable things.

And there were sirens on the surface at that time.

Or maybe something is chasing them.

Therefore, this group of tomb robbers acted in a hurry and lost everything during the transportation process, leaving many ancient objects behind.

Almost exactly the same.

This is what the basement looks like.

The containers used by the adoptive father to transfer these ancient artifacts were also outrageous. In addition to the cloth bags from the Demon Suppression Department, they also used mineral water bottles, lunch boxes, and plastic buckle boxes.

Seems very grounded.

Also very sloppy.

It was as if the adoptive father had no idea about this beforehand, and suddenly heard the news about the birth of Nanze Ancient City, so he hurriedly packed up his equipment and went to Nanze Lighthouse to get things.

I guess that's the case.

The ancient city of Nanze was submerged under the mud, and no one could enter it for hundreds of years. However, it was suddenly discovered by modern people using equipment two years ago, and the entrance was dug out.

Not just ancient Tritons.

Probably even the adoptive father didn't think of it.

Just like the situation of the contemporary Jianxian Division, all the sites of gods and ghosts in the entire Ming Dynasty Haiwei are recorded in the corners of Haiwei's ancient books, and many of these sites have long been abandoned.

No one can remember it at all.

Because the entire history of the Ming Dynasty spans more than five hundred years, has a vast territory that stretches across the east-west route, has an incalculable population and unsolved cases of gods and ghosts.

The amount of information is so huge that it is impossible for any human being to know all the records of gods and ghosts in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Even ten Ji Dao are impossible.

One hundred Ji Dao is enough.

As a result, there are many sacred and ghost sites that have only appeared briefly in history. Not only will they be forgotten by the world, but even future generations of sea guards will not remember them and have no idea of ​​their location.

Nanze Ancient City and Tianji Lighthouse should not fall into this situation, because their weight and fame are here, and it is impossible for them to be forgotten by Haiwei, but they are abandoned.

This kind of ghost ruins can only be remembered by Triton when something goes wrong. After consulting the relevant information of the ruins, the importance and danger of the ruins can be further determined.

So the adoptive father collected it in a hurry.

I'm afraid that there might be something extremely dangerous stored in the basement of Tianji Lighthouse. As soon as he heard that the ancient city of Nanze was being excavated, his adoptive father immediately set out to collect it.

"Master Immortal, what should we do?"

Ji Dao sighed again and finally felt relieved. It was better than nothing. At least there was still some left for them in front of them.

"Look for other clues."

Zheng Yun asked Yin Bing to continue turning around.

At this moment, there are still a few questions, including what was originally stored in the basement, the problem of opening and closing the Great Sea Wall, and other gains and problems in the basement.

Speculation based on current information.

The basement of this Tianji Lighthouse had been kept absolutely intact and had not been opened before the adoptive father opened it the year before last and took away most of the artifacts.

Ordinary thieves don't have this ability.

They can't get past the Bodhisattva statue.

And Triton had long forgotten about this place. In the world view of the ancients, it was impossible for anyone to get into the mud and move around freely, and the records about the ancient city had long since ceased to be updated.

The Haiwei of my adoptive father's generation knew how powerful modern technology was, which could not only drill out mud, but even oil, but they couldn't find Nanze by looking through ancient books.

Therefore, this secret lighthouse has been buried deep in the mud and remained at the moment when the lighthouse was submerged.

What exactly happened then.

Are there any ancient books preserved in Tianji Lighthouse? If we can find some information, we may be able to know the truth about Nanze being submerged and what the enemies of Triton were at that time.

This is all key information.

The archaeological team is exploring the ancient city of Nanze. This Tianji Lighthouse belongs to them alone and can be investigated slowly.

"Master Immortal, let's open the Immortal Gate and move things. That's about it. There is no danger of walking here."

Ji Dao quickly suggested.

He has no other thoughts now. He just wants to know what kind of magical artifacts the liquid in the mineral water bottle and the sand in the bag are and whether they can use them.

"Let's go and let the other Yin soldiers go down."

Zheng Yun nodded and asked Ji Dao to get started. At the same time, he sent the remaining Yin soldiers into the basement to check at the same time.

As multiple cameras entered the basement, the scene was more detailed and clearly displayed on the screen in the simple camp.

The basement of the lighthouse is full of ancient charms of ghosts and ghosts.

Even the long-bright lamps on the walls and the night-light racks on the roadside are all miraculous tricks. The designs are relatively old and primitive, and there are not many new things that people have never heard of.

There are no guards in the basement.

The entire basement is guarded by the Bodhisattva statue above. The Bodhisattva statue's mechanism is the mechanism of the entire basement. In addition to the eight magical weapons, there is also a means of killing.

Give these things to Ji Dao.

He took away what he felt he could take away, and left behind what he couldn't take away, and continued to guard the depths of the Tianji Lighthouse.

After a period of exploration.

The lighthouse has been completely controlled by them.

All the Yin soldiers who were killed before were brought back, and the replaced chemical protective suits were processed and handed over to other Yin soldiers for continued use, and they began to move the ghost items in the basement.

Talking about shopping.

The contemporary supervisor is very skilled.

The whole process does not require too much command. The Yin soldiers come in batches and go out one batch after another, and they can be moved quickly.

The key is other findings.

Especially the part of the Great Sea Wall.

"Master Xian, I just said there are treasures here. Look here, there is a darkroom in the basement." Jidao made a discovery while holding up the screen, and found a small space deep in the depths.

This space is different.

It is a basement within a basement. It is hidden in the wall at the end of the basement and can only be reached through a long and narrow passage.

According to the construction drawings of the lighthouse, this place is the final center point of the 'brick wall'. There are thick brick walls in all directions, and it is also the most concealed safety darkroom.

There are no permanent lights here.

It seems to have been deliberately ignored by the ancients.

The Yin soldiers circled the area several times with a searchlight before finally discovering the differences on the wall and finding this passage.

Get in and take a look around.

It was discovered that this space was obviously an exclusive facility for gods and ghosts. There were a large number of immortal patterns carved on the walls, and a stone platform stood on the ground with a jade shelf on it.

The shelves are empty.

But judging from the placement of the shelf and the traces on the scene, there should have been a 'plate' on the shelf.

At this time, the plates had been taken away, but they didn't get nothing, because there were many ancient books in the corner. It seemed that the adoptive father could not take them away, so they were temporarily piled here.

At first, Ji Dao thought that the hill behind was some kind of treasure. He used the walkie-talkie to let the Yin soldiers take a closer look, only to find that they were all books, piled higher than the stone shelf.

The camera slowly approaches.

Those ancient books were not made of paper.

They are all made of a very special divine and ghost material, similar to ancient gold and copper leaves. They have been soaked in water for hundreds of years without decay and are extremely well preserved.

Think about it too.

The ancients named this place Nanze. Knowing that this place was full of swamps and mist, they would also consider replacing perishable paper with other materials when making scrolls.

The ancients were not fools.

The ancient books stored in this magical facility are of extraordinary importance, so of course they cannot use paper.

"Xianhai Zhi: Ninety-seven."

"Shi Donghai Scroll: Forty-Two."

"Overseas voyage notes: 113."

"Hai Xuan Illustrated Notes: Eighty-three."

Ji Dao recognized the fonts and read several of them, his expression suddenly changed, and he said to Zheng Yun in a serious tone: "Master Xian, these are all ancient maritime books of Triton. Although they are older, the book numbers are relatively large. I have never heard of them. ”

"Isn't it in Tiangong?"

Zheng Yun said a little surprised.

"I'm afraid these ancient books are all records of the route where they were left. I can guarantee that Tiangong Sutra Pavilion does not have these ancient books, otherwise I would have been familiar with the situation of the place where they were left."

"For example, this Xianhai Chronicle, Tiangong only has one to fifty volumes of it. In modern terms, it is recorded from W-06 to E-06, and then there is no more."

"It turns out that this first volume is volume ninety-seven, so it must be beyond 06 of the East-West Route. According to the rules, it is at least after 10 of the East-West Route."

Ji Dao explained briefly.

In fact, he had already guessed that Haiwei had hidden a secret and was on guard against Tiangong, because the ancient books in Tiangong's Sutra Pavilion were indeed incomplete, and there was nothing about the place where they were left.

He had already discovered this.

He had known it since he was a teenager.

At that time, he was curious and wanted to know where the Wuhaixianzhou under his feet was, how far it was from the capital, and how far it was from the nearest ordinary town.

He wanted to sneak down the mountain for a walk.

As a result, he searched through the entire Tiangong Sutra Pavilion and found out how far Wuhaixianzhou was from the capital. At the same time, he also learned the bad news that there was no ordinary town in Wuhaixianzhou...

"We all moved back to Tiangong to study slowly."

Zheng Yun immediately ordered the Yin soldiers to take action.

These books are all extremely valuable information. They were piled up here, probably on purpose by the adoptive father.

It is very reasonable for Tianji Lighthouse to have such ancient books.

The lighthouse itself plays the role of pilot. How could there be no navigation information? Not only these ancient books, but also the authentic navigation charts of the lost places.

Because the Tianji Lighthouse is suspected to be related to the Great Sea Wall, it connects many lighthouses in the Lost Land together. It is logical that there is a sea map of the Lost Land. It would be strange if there is not.

There is a concept of sequence here.

There must be a time difference between the time when the ancients conceived of the Great Sea Wall and the time when they later took the initiative to cut off the east-west shipping route.

The design concept of the Great Sea Wall is completely in conflict with the idea of ​​cutting off shipping routes. The Great Sea Wall must have preceded the latter.

When the Tianji Lighthouse was still in use, the Ming Dynasty had no plan to cut off the shipping route. In the eyes of Triton, these lighthouses extending all the way to the abandoned place were a whole.

Later, Haiwei was forced to cut off the shipping route, so he concealed all the information left behind and cut off all contact with the mortal world.

Not only does the mortal world not know about the Lost Land, but even the Lost Land doesn't know about the mortal world. This separation is two-way.

The time when the Tianji Lighthouse was abandoned was very critical. It probably coincided with the partition period, resulting in many ancient navigation books related to the place where it was left remaining in the lighthouse basement.

These ancient books are very important.

And the adoptive father may have had the intention of leaving them here to let him know that it was the result of his deliberate actions.

"Master Immortal, as long as we have these charts, we can really go west out of Tiangong. Find out if there are any people living near Tiangong and see how they are living at this moment."

Ji Dao was filled with joy.

At this moment, he already knew how far the Heavenly Palace was from the capital, and it was easy to go down the mountain to buy a chicken drumstick in the mortal world. His childhood wish had been fulfilled, but others could not.

In other immortal continents around Wuhai Xianzhou, there may be people living in the corners of the mountains. They never know where the capital is in their entire lives, and they have never gone to ordinary towns to catch a market.

I have never eaten chicken legs at the same time.

Not even a chicken was seen.

This is by no means alarmist, but Ji Dao’s heartfelt thoughts. He has experienced hardship and knows that many places on the Endless Sea Route are not suitable for farming and breeding at all.

Children in the mountains, who doesn’t want to go to the gathering that has been passed down by word of mouth since ancient times but no one has ever been to? Who doesn’t want to buy skewers of candied haws and eat them when going to the market?

But they didn't stand a chance.

There is only one heavenly palace in a sealess fairy continent, and the fairy continent where they are located may not have a few villages and towns. Even if they go to the ends of the earth, they can't see anyone, only deep despair.

Ji Dao was in despair for many years.

Therefore, he could completely sympathize with the people in the Forsaken Land, and he was eager to know how they were doing, whether they had enough fertile land for farming, and whether they had poultry to raise.

Are there any evil spirits causing trouble in the surrounding rivers?

Are there any bandits making trouble on the nearby hills?

Whether the county magistrate who rules one side has committed any crime or not.

If possible, he wanted to act as a 'traveling pawn', bringing in-demand goods and selling them to the people who were left behind.

Or you can play the role of a 'knight of the rivers and lakes' or a 'master of the Tao', and kill the demons, ghosts, gods and bandits in the mountains.

The Heavenly Palace stands deep in the Sealess Immortal Continent and is located on the high mountains and clouds. It should spread its influence to all directions, protect the tranquility of the Immortal Continent on the left and right, and protect the safety of the people in all directions.

This is the responsibility of Tiangong.

It’s also Ji Dao’s responsibility.

"Indeed, it's time to go to the Forgotten Land to see how the people in the Forgotten Land are doing, what the sea guards in the Forgotten Land are doing, as well as the war on the front line and who the enemies are."

Zheng Yun also sighed softly.

Jidao is the successor of Tiangong, he has his responsibilities, and he is the successor of Jianxian Division, and he also has corresponding obligations.

The Heavenly Palace should ensure the safety of the people nearby.

The Supervisory Immortal Division can ensure the safety of all the people.

This goal was so big that Zheng Yun didn't even dare to shout slogans, or even think about it.

But the goal of having enough food and clothing is not that far away given the extremely amazing food production and industrial capabilities of modern society, as well as the convenience and efficiency of the Immortal Sect.

As long as Jianxiansi is rich enough.

You can bring countless food and clothing.

At least it can ensure that all the people do not starve or freeze, and it can also provide better conditions for the abandoned sea guards, especially the sea guards who are still sticking to the dangerous place at this moment.

There are Tritons in the Forsaken Lands.

And there must be a lot of them.

But their conditions are difficult.

For example, the sea guards guarding the ancient city of Hongwu.

Even in the extremely weird and dangerous land of gods and ghosts, they have been feeding Hanxian with tongueless things every day since ancient times, probably without interruption for even a day...
