Endless route

Chapter 158 65. Will-o'-the-wisp and jade lantern [two-in-one]

Several people followed Han Xian and quickly chased him forward. Han Xian's speed was also amazing. Zheng Yun Jidao had to chase with all his strength to keep Han Xian at the end of his sight.

On the contrary, the ghost general is slow.

Big buckle boxes are too bulky here.

In desperation, Zheng Yun simply asked the ghost general to throw the burnt buckle box to him first. Ji Dao still had a lot of fragrant sand in his hand, and the burnt buckle box should be out of use for the time being.

It's really impossible to throw Kedester away.

Otherwise Zheng Yun would throw him away too.

After chasing for a long time, Zheng Yun saw that the space in front of him suddenly became wider and there was an end.

The flashlight was directed toward the ice wall on the left. The flashlight light penetrated the thick ice, and a huge space appeared on the other end.

Fairy Cave.

They're back again.

Scanning along the ice wall, you can see the hole made by the scientific expedition team. Zheng Yun had previously sealed it with iron sheets, but there were still some gaps, enough for Hanxian to slowly crawl back.

Zheng Yun stopped and watched quietly.

But not all of the Hanxians returned to the Immortal Sacrifice Cave. Only a large part of them got back, and the other part returned to the human shape of three or four meters high and went deeper.

There might also be food out front.

"Master Xian, what should we do, go around and drive Han Xian back?" Jidao scratched his scalp and said with a headache.

"You can give it a try." Zheng Yun nodded.

If they still use Yin soldiers to seduce, they have to make loud noises to violate the taboo. Even if they have fragrant sand with them, they don't dare to try because there are too many Hanxians here.

If Han Xian is angered and wants to fight them desperately, they have no other choice but to run away.

So a few people walked around cautiously.

Han Xian gathered at the connection between the two ancient ships and lay down on the body of a tongueless thing. They could only go up to the deck of the ancient ship from inside the ancient ship along the burnt stairs.

They walked very cautiously.

The wood on the deck is very thick, but after all, most of it has been burned. There is a slight crunching sound with every step you step on, which is frightening, fearing that you will step on it and fall.

Moreover, there was ice above the deck, so they all had to bend down and move forward carefully in the narrow space.

After a while, they walked to the bow of the ship and looked down at the junction of the decks. Hanxian was at their feet, 'lying' on the corpse, chewing all the nutrients.

The height is more than twenty meters.

People who are afraid of heights may not dare to cross it.

Zheng Yun asked the ghost general to take over Kedester, and he and Ji Dao carefully stepped onto the deck of another ship. As soon as they landed, there was a slight crunching sound, and the charred deck would break at any time.

"Forget it, just throw it here."

Zheng Yun stepped back and spoke to Jidao.

Ji Dao nodded, took out a handful of fragrant sand from his pocket, and threw it towards the corpse below. The fine yellow sand fell accurately.

The Hanxian immediately dispersed.

Once the food is contaminated by the fragrant sand, these Hanxian will dodge and leave. Zheng Yun stares at the movements of the Hanxian. They all turn back, probably returning to the Immortal Sacrifice Cave.

There are corpses of tongueless things falling all the time in the Immortal Sacrifice Cave. After there is no food in other places, they should go back.

Zheng Yun, Jidao and the others looked at each other, then cautiously backed away, waiting for a moment before getting off the deck of the ancient ship.

Hanxian is indeed gone.

Several people quickly ran to the vicinity of the Thief's Cave. Zheng Yun threw down the ice melting board and planned to open the fairy door, so he repeated his trick of watering to build ice.

But the moment I put down the ice melting board.

Zheng Yun suddenly hesitated, and an unknown premonition arose in his heart. Although the temperature of the ice melting plate was only sixty or seventy degrees, no one knew what the ignition point of the flammable gas here was. If the gas was accidentally ignited, it would be troublesome. .

But if we don’t melt, we can’t open the fairy gate.

There is no water in this place, so the thieves' cave cannot be sealed.

"Master Xian, what's wrong?" Jidao asked.

Zheng Yun told him about his worries, but Ji Dao had no good solution. The two discussed for a while and decided to find some burnt wooden boards to nail the burglary hole, and then use a buckle box to block it.

Pour it later.

So they took action immediately, looking for suitable materials nearby, and first moved the buckle box over to temporarily support it.

During this period, Zheng Yun shined a flashlight on the ice wall, and the cold fairies were scattered in the cave. The fairies were eating the corpses on the ground in a flash of light.

After searching for a while, a few people moved a piece of charred deck one meter long and wide, then took out an ice pick and gently shaved the ice, intending to smooth out the bumps near the cave.

Zheng Yun looked around from time to time.

He always had a bad feeling, and Kedester was not in the right state either, and had fallen into a deep coma.

The cave where Kedster was previously located was at least connected to the open-air ice valley. The internal space was wide and complex, and the altitude was much higher. The concentration of flammable gases was limited.

But it's completely different here.

This place is completely deep underground in the extremely cold mountains. The flammable gas cannot be discharged and the concentration will become higher and higher.

Can only speed up.

Zheng Yun also started to shave ice.

At this moment, a roaring sound sounded from deep within the ancient ship.

Zheng Yun had heard this sound before. It was on the glacier on the bow of the ship. It sounded like a huge amount of liquid was churning, and it felt like the air was exploding and squeezing. The dullness struck their hearts!

This voice is very weak.

But Zheng Yun can be sure that it is the same!

"It's broken, the fire is coming."

Zheng Yun's expression changed. The last time he heard this strange sound, the blue-green will-o'-the-wisp sprang out from the depths.

To this day, Zheng Yun still remembers James' last words. He said he heard a sound and told others to run.

"Ah?" Ji Dao was stunned.

"Open the Immortal Sacrifice Cave and go in."

Zheng Yun looked back behind him. He had not seen the flames coming yet, but now he had to make a decisive decision.

This is not only a matter of preserving their lives, but also a matter of preserving the life of the Han Immortal. There are also flammable gases in the Immortal Sacrifice Cave. The will-o'-the-wisp may not burn the Han Immortal to death, but if all the oxygen is burned out, the Han Immortal will be choked. Can live!

So they must now enter the Immortal Sacrifice Cave and immediately open the Immortal Gate to isolate the will-o'-the-wisps from the Immortal Sacrifice Cave.

Ji Dao immediately took action after hearing this. He did what Zheng Yun told him. He and Zheng Yun pushed open the buckle box, lifted the iron sheet and got into the Immortal Sacrifice Cave, not forgetting to drag Kedester in.

"It's blocked by iron sheets."

Zheng Yun shouted and ran to the pool, took out the black jade pillow and put it into the water, and then asked Ji Dao to come over and circle a piece of land with fragrant sand to prevent Han Xian from getting into the secret realm.

The moment when the Immortal Gate appears.

Zheng Yun crossed the Immortal Gate, picked up a bucket of water from the pool in front of the Immortal Gate, hurried back to the entrance of the Immortal Sacrifice Cave, slowly poured it on the iron sheet, and waited for the iron sheet to freeze.

"Master Xian, if that doesn't work, just mix in some cotton." Ji Dao directly tore the sleeves of the cold-weather clothes, trying to pull out a handful of cotton from inside, and used the wet cotton to block the flames.

But cold-weather clothing is made of high-tech materials.

He only grabbed a handful of fine feathers, not even duck or goose down, so he had no idea what they were.

"Ah, this..." Ji Dao was stunned and didn't bother to say anything more. He immediately turned around and ran back to the secret realm to get something.

Zheng Yun stared at the outside environment and asked the ghost general to hold down the iron sheet as much as possible while he poured water into the gap.

Boom boom.

The sound of the air exploding became louder and louder, almost deafening, causing the human head cavity to resonate at the same time.

Zheng Yun had a headache.

It’s really adding insult to injury.

This time he violated Han Xian's taboo again.

Turning back and looking around with a flashlight, Hanxian didn't react much. He ate and drank as he should. He seemed to be used to the sound and didn't have any frightened reaction.

"Master Immortal, we are really here!" Jidao ran back from the secret realm with a bucket of water, and suddenly pointed outside and whispered.

Zheng Yun looked back at the Thief's Cave. A faint blue-green light lit up from the end of the ancient ship corridor, like an aurora emerging from the depths, erupting quickly with a roar.

Boom boom.

The will-o'-the-wisps surged wildly, sweeping everything in sight instantly. They could clearly see it through the ice, and a sea of ​​blue-green fire filled the entire corridor of the ancient ship.

"Clog it with wet clothes."

Zheng Yun immediately lowered his head.

A thin layer of ice has condensed into the cracks in the iron sheet, but it is very unstable. As long as the ghost general lets go, the iron sheet will collapse from the ice, creating a crack again.

"I took it." Ji Dao quickly took out several pieces of wet clothes, blocked them in the gaps between the iron sheets, and continued to water.

This operation was too thrilling.

But fortunately, the will-o'-the-wisp didn't come in, and only continued watering would be needed to completely seal the hole.

"Master Xian, how do we get out?" Ji Dao asked in a low voice.

"Will-o'-the-wisps will not last long and will end when the oxygen is exhausted." Zheng Yun concluded based on his previous experience on the bow glacier that will-o'-the-wisps should be intermittent.

There simply isn't that much oxygen in this place.

The will-o'-the-wisp will probably stop burning soon.

"Okay." Jidao nodded and went to find someone to carry water.

The Han Immortal behind them still didn't react much, and turned into many small Han Immortals two to three meters high, each devouring the tongueless corpse on the ground, far away from them.

It's really exciting.

They were hiding from the Han Immortal before, but now they are hiding in the Immortal Sacrifice Cave with the Han Immortal. Not only do they live in the same room, but they also have to get along for a while. If anything happens, they will be finished.

Now I can only rely on fragrant sand to disperse it.

Soon after, Ji Dao led many Taoist priests out of the secret realm. Everyone was carrying a bucket, and their faces were smeared with a lot of fragrant yellow sand, and they walked carefully to the entrance of the cave.

Zheng Yun then breathed a sigh of relief and let go.

Looking around, the scenery here is really bizarre and dreamy, making people feel frightened and unreal.

The outside world separated by an ice wall is now a sea of ​​blue and green fire. The flames are attached to all the charred ancient ships. They are about half a meter high, and the blue and green flames are constantly swaying and jumping.

This scene is extremely weird.

There is an indescribable fantasy.

It was like a team of Ming Dynasty marines sailing on the sea of ​​fire, like a ghost ship that had just sailed from the underworld. The dark and charred hull was still covered with flames from the underworld.

But this is deep inside the iceberg.

They were looking through the ice.

It's completely different when you turn around and look behind you. Everywhere the flashlight shines is shimmering with fine crystal fairy lights, making this place as beautiful as a fairyland.

It's a pity that these fairy lights are eating the corpses alive, and they are quite delicious, even the bones are not spared.

"Master Immortal, let's go to the Immortal Sacrifice Pavilion?" Jidao raised his head and looked at the Immortal Sacrifice Pavilion. The situation was tense before, and they had never explored this place carefully.

I'm free now.

They couldn't get out before the will-o'-the-wisp was over, so they could only circle a place and hide in the Immortal Sacrifice Cave, and be safe with Han Xian.

Then why not go and take a look.

Zheng Yun nodded and asked the other little Taoist priests to continue pouring water. He and Jidao walked against the ice wall towards the Immortal Sacrifice Pavilion.

Wow.

A sound of breaking wind.

Another tongueless corpse fell from a high altitude and slammed hard on the other side of the Immortal Sacrifice Cave. A large number of Han Immortals were disturbed. Immortal lights suspended in the air, gathered into human shapes and rushed towards the fresh food, frightening people's hearts. Jump inside.

Zheng Yun Jidao looked at each other, continued to move forward, got into the door of the Immortal Sacrifice Pavilion, and looked around the place.

This loft is quite large.

The stone figure stands in the depths, and there are stone lampstands on the left and right of the figure, but there is nothing else.

Ji Dao was familiar with this kind of environment. As soon as he entered the door, he took a flashlight and went around behind the portrait to rummage around.

Zheng Yun looked up and saw that all the attic windows opposite the portrait were open, and there was a deep hole above his head.

There should be some mechanism that locks Yu Hanxian here, but they can't see what it is, and they can't find any clues.

"Master Immortal, there is indeed something behind this." Jidao poked his head out from behind the end of the figure's robe.

He actually climbed onto the base of the statue, which is like burning incense on the tribute table or worshiping Buddha and climbing up on the statue.

Zheng Yun raised his head and glanced at the portrait, and immediately followed him. He also jumped on the base and followed Ji Dao.

This man seemed to be from Triton.

We are all our own people, so it’s not a big problem.

Jidao led Zheng Yun around to the back of the statue. There was actually an iron door here, sealed by a familiar iron rope, with a huge iron lock hanging on it, and the key was inserted into the lock.

This is quite convenient.

"Master Xian, let's open it and take a look?" Jidao didn't dare to make the decision without permission, because there was no telling what was behind the door.

Zheng Yun observed carefully that the iron door was for people to pass through, and it was not closed tightly. There was a crack in the middle. Looking at the crack with a flashlight, there were only some tables and cabinets inside.

"Let's go." Zheng Yun nodded.

Ji Dao immediately turned the key to remove the iron lock, opened the door to a gap wide enough for a person, and then got in to take a look.

A stone table lies in front of you.

This table is carved with immortals and demons, and is very similar to some of the patterns in the secret realm. At first glance, it is the standard of the Supervisory Immortal Division.

There are several stone cabinets next to them, which contain some items. If you look closely, you can see that they are many jade lanterns.

Those lanterns are half a meter in size, made of white and crystal clear jade, with many fairy patterns carved on the surface, turning into small hollows, with fine structure and beautiful appearance.

In addition, there is a copper book on the table.

Zheng Yun walked to the table and looked at the copper book. The book contained rows of year numbers and some imprints and names. It seemed to be a record of the use of the Immortal Sacrifice Cave, and there was nothing else.

The most recent record.

The conversion is at the beginning of this year.

The name is a person named Yu Hai, and there is a small seal left, which seems to be written as the governor of Hongying Dusi Town.

"Master Immortal, this lantern should be used by immortals." Jidao came over holding a jade lantern.

Zheng Yun took the lantern and took a look. The workmanship of this lantern is indeed impeccable. The handles of the lantern are all slender jade tubes. It would be a top-notch item in a museum.

Looking from top to bottom, there is a wax stand sitting in the center of the lantern. The candle is white and crystal clear, and I don't know what material it is made of.

Seeing this jade lantern, Zheng Yun suddenly thought of the lampstand in the Fairy Cave. Both of them had something to do with lamps. He didn't know what would happen after lighting this lantern.

You can try it.

Eighth achievement is a prop to drive Han Xian.

Zheng Yun turned back and glanced at Ji Dao. He couldn't hold back his curiosity and wished he could agree to light the lamp.

But Zheng Yun stayed conservative and exited the stone house, closed the iron door, and retreated to the fairy gate before letting Ji Dao take action.

In case something happens.

At least they can run.

Ji Dao hurriedly ran back to the secret realm. When he came out again, he already had a fire source in his hand. He threw it into the jade lantern. In an instant, an unusually white flame slowly rose.

Zheng Yun moved the flashlight away.

But I saw that the firelight was projected from the hollow of the jade lantern, and it also looked like a fairy light, twinkling like stars, and the brilliance it released was almost the same as that of Han Xian!

The lantern has just been lit.

Zheng Yun suddenly discovered that the nearby Hanxian didn't even eat the corpse. They all left the corpse and gathered together, turning into human shapes and looming, and rushed towards the lantern.
