Endless route

Chapter 168 7. Something happened to Ji Dao

Zheng Yun waited in the Sutra Pavilion for a while, until the morning sun rose from the mountains in the east, and pillars of light pierced from the sky, illuminating the churning morning mist golden like a sea of ​​light and mist.

Looking to the north of the Tiangong, a group of cranes walked out of the Crane Room of the Tiangong, stood on the stone fence, combed their feathers, spread their wings, fell straight down, and then floated up again.

The quantity exceeds one hundred.

It looks very fairy-like.

Soon after, Taoist priests, big and small, came to the Sutra Pavilion one after another.

Zhang Ergou also closed the door of the pawn shop and returned to the Heavenly Palace, bringing back many white gloves and reading ancient books together.

They were all under the Demon Suppression Department at the moment. They had just gone to feed the cranes and horses, and then hurriedly returned to their residences. After bathing and changing clothes, they changed into clothes and went to the Scripture Storage Pavilion.

Zheng Yun said the key words.

Then he watched for a while.

They moved the ancient books extremely carefully and did not need Zheng Yun's instructions at all. After asking, they found out that Jidao often asked them to come to the Sutra Pavilion to do work, and the rules had been set long ago.

Watching everyone rummaging around.

Zheng Yun turned his head and looked to the west of the Tiangong. Ji Dao hadn't come back yet. Maybe he was squatting in the haystack waiting for an opportunity...

Letting everyone search here first, Zheng Yun walked along the way to the Heavenly Palace Immortal Gate. On the way, he also took a look at the residence of the deaf girls, and saw that the girls were washing in the other courtyard.

Li Huawan came back in the afternoon after accompanying Jiang Meng. It was night in the Tiangong time, and she was still asleep in the attic bedroom.

After taking a quick look, there were many large vats of pickled vegetables and bacon placed in the courtyard, as well as many tools for storing ingredients, stoves and other items, which I probably learned from watching videos on my mobile phone.

Jidao was in charge of Tiangong affairs, and was dismissed from the position of Demon Suppression Department by Zheng Yun. However, Jidao never sent Li Huawan and these deaf girls to work for Tiangong.

Then this is what Li Huawan ordered.

Zheng Yun said something before that he asked Li Huawan and the others to learn some life skills using their mobile phones. If they can't make money by carving jade, then forget it. They can't starve if they stay in Tiangong and work.

As long as he handles the ingredients and provides three meals a day for hundreds of people in the secret realm, he can afford to feed them.

Li Huawan obviously took it seriously.

It's just that the utensils they used were all the big blue and white flowers left behind by the Heavenly Palace and the Secret Realm. They really made the best use of them this time, making pickles and pickles, and they were not used to these antiques at all.

no way.

That's the condition.

Since she first left ten thousand pocket money for Li Huawan, she has never asked for it again. She cannot afford modern things, so she can only make ends meet with these bottles and cans worth millions.

Give me some more later.

After all, Li Huawan was a classical woman, and knowing that Jiang Meng was ill, she might be embarrassed to ask for money from herself.

Zheng Yun continued to return along the stone corridor, and suddenly an idea came to him on the way. The sword skills that Ji Dao found could be practiced by everyone in the Tiangong, including these deaf girls.

Or you can set up a shooting range in Tiangong, go out and get some guns and ammunition, and let them all learn modern firearms.

Combine the two.

You can cultivate some capable subordinates.

It should also be possible to wear a body armor on the outside of the Taoist robe and carry a rifle. Thinking back to Ji Dao's cheerful expression when he held the gun and clicked in the foggy sea.

Firearms are considered top-notch magical weapons.

This was said by Ji Dao himself.

It's a pity that the Yin soldiers in the Hades Pavilion are all brainless living dead, and they can't understand it even if they are asked to practice. Otherwise, even modern dead soldiers can make it and their power will be even greater.

Gone not long ago.

Zheng Yun returned to Fuen City.

It was already one o'clock in the evening here. Zheng Yun walked out of the old community, sat under the shade of a tree on the roadside and blew in the night breeze. He sent a message to Kedester, asking him to come to Fuen City.

Zheng Yun had been worrying about the name of this secret organization before. After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly got inspiration from somewhere.

Kedester and the others are all Westerners.

It’s better to call it ‘Xichang’.

Concise and to the point.

In fact, the name is only secondary. They created a group on the social platform and reported what they had done every day. It was like posting on Moments, posting non-stop all day long.

Most people went home.

The photos are all kinds of weird and everything.

Zheng Yun saw that Li Xiya had gone to W-01. She actually ran a fortune-telling shop at home. The photo sent was a photo of her and her grandmother, and the background was full of occult objects.

Kedester went to W-03. He said that he had a sum of money and a safe deposited in a local bank, and his daughter couldn't care less about it. He had to take these things out first.

Their task during this period was to return to modern society, and most of them returned home to spend time with their relatives.

The atmosphere in the group is pretty good.

Everyone shared a lot of photos.

But there are already several people who can't wait and are asking for advance plans and where they are going to find people.

Zheng Yun's message was sent in the group, and as soon as he asked Kedester to come to W-02, someone responded immediately.

Licia: "Do I need to go?"

Monotto: "I'm nearby too."

Goethe: "I can go there right away."

These people who went to La Maine Town and were recruited were all somewhat adventurous. They were essentially the same as Song Wan and herself. They were not the type to stay at home.

For them, the trip to La Maine was a failed venture, but it opened a new door for them, giving them a glimpse of more adventure and exploration beyond it.

They are still looking forward to it.

If they continue to develop for a while, they may be like the little Taoist priests in the Heavenly Palace, and they will feel a sense of glory as Yin soldiers...

"Okay, I've booked the ticket."

Kedester quickly replied, and at the same time sent a few photos in a private message, and showed Zheng Yun the things he took out, including a large amount of cash and notebooks.

These notes should be related to what he discovered originally, and it may not just be the door in Triton's legacy. ’

"I'm here to ask you to meet your daughter, so be prepared." Zheng Yun explained to Kedester.

As a long-established explorer, Kedester's adventurous spirit is different from ordinary people. He actually has to take the initiative to arrange for him to meet his daughter.

Haven’t seen each other for twenty years.

He didn't even ask.

"Must meet?" Kedester replied.

"..." Zheng Yun suddenly understood why he didn't ask. This old explorer who had traveled all his life was actually escaping and deliberately hiding from his daughter.

"Your daughter has Jia Si Aileen's computer, and she obviously knows Jia Si Aileen better than you." Zheng Yun did not force him to meet, but just stated the objective factors.

"Okay." Kedester replied.

Zheng Yun didn't ask any more questions. He stood up and patted the dirt on his butt. He looked around at the street scene. He simply drove to the hospital and slept on a wire bed in Jiang Meng Ward for a night.

…

Two days passed in a flash.

Zheng Yun sat in the pawn shop, with an electric fan blowing beside him. Cherishing these few leisurely days, he chatted with Professor Zhang on his mobile phone for a few words, and then looked to his side.

Li Huawan was sitting in the wicker chair next to her, holding a jade ball sculpture in her hand, but looking at the tablet on the table, where a TV series, an oriental costume drama, was being played.

It's like reminiscing about the past.

Do you think life is not very good now?

"Is there any money left?" Zheng Yun asked aloud.

When she felt Zheng Yun turn around, she clicked pause and looked at Zheng Yun very skillfully. After seeing this sentence, she nodded: "Yes, there are more than eight thousand. I made money carving jade, and I only bought some during this period." Some hygiene products and clothes.”

"Um."

Zheng Yun didn't ask again.

I originally wanted to ask Li Huawan if she had any plans to develop into the Internet, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. It took her so long to spend so much money, and she was already very frugal.

She has almost no material pursuits.

This expense eliminates the need to show your face online.

Moreover, the furnishings of her residence in the Tiangong are no less than those of modern mansions. She probably uses blue and white porcelain basins to wash her feet. In this regard, there is nothing more she can pursue.

After sitting for a while, a taxi stopped in front of the pawn shop. A young Western girl got out of the car and walked towards the pawn shop with a backpack in her hand.

Zheng Yun watched her walk to the door with a solemn expression, and then realized that she might be Cadest's daughter.

"Mr. Zheng, did you really rescue my father?" The girl looked sad and her eyes were slightly red.

She didn't really believe it.

Because the last expedition to W-08 had all been killed, the news came back a few days ago, but Zheng Yun said that her father was still alive, which was unbelievable.

Most likely a liar.

But she came anyway.

"Just wait nearby. Your father will arrive in the evening. If you don't want to meet your father here, you can also find a place nearby and give me the address."

Zheng Yun didn't explain much.

Cadest's ship arrived in the evening.

At this moment, Zhang Ergou ran in from the back door of the pawn shop, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "Master Xian, Master Ji hasn't come back yet. It's already the fifth day."

"..."

Zheng Yun frowned slightly.

He hasn't come back yet, something must have happened. He has been a little used to Ji Dao not being around these days. If something happens to him outside, it will be troublesome.

Ji Dao said before.

The founder of Tiangong wanted to build a thatched house in Tiangong, but before he could build it, he lost one eye, his leg was taken away by something unknown, and he even lost one of his arms.

If Noriichi also drops some parts.

That was a huge loss!

"You go back first, and you can see your father in the evening." Zheng Yun said to the girl, then picked up the phone, found Hu Ruihua's name, and called him.

Didn't get through the first time.

It worked the second time.

After a brief inquiry, I found out that they were working in the snowy mountains of W-02 and were looking for missing persons on the mountains.

"Is there any way to recruit a group of good guys around Fu'en City?" Zheng Yun asked straight to the point.

In addition to Fuen City in the east, W-02 is also surrounded by Western cities. It can be reached in an hour or two by plane, and it only takes less than half a day by boat. The distance is still very close.

"Yes, I'll give you a call."

Hu Ruihua replied immediately without asking.

"Okay, you go ahead and talk later."

Zheng Yun immediately hung up the phone, dialed the number given by Hu Ruihua, got in touch with the other party, and confirmed the transaction location in a few words. He could pick up whatever he wanted.

These things cannot enter Fuen City, but Zheng Yun does not intend to enter the country. He can just open the fairy gate and store them in the secret realm.

"I'm going out."

After ending the call, Zheng Yun picked up his clothes and stood up. At the same time, he immediately booked a ticket and went to the address given by Hu Ruihua.

The outside of the Heavenly Palace is not an ordinary place.

If something happens to Ji Dao, it cannot be recovered by ordinary means. In addition to the existing magic and ghost methods, modern technological equipment and even large-caliber weapons must be used.

Something with a small caliber should not be able to kill the "Jiaolong" and "Zhuyin" mentioned in Ji Daokou, which are recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

To find Ji Dao.

He must spend some money.

Besides, these things have to be bought sooner or later, but Hu Ruihua cannot always prepare them sooner or later.

"Master Immortal, shall I go with you?"

Zhang Ergou followed immediately, and then spoke in a low voice, suddenly saying in English: "I can speak English. I learned it when I was selling luxury goods soaked in water."

Zheng Yun took a deep look at Zhang Ergou.

This old boy can really surprise people. His English is so good, and his accent even has a West Coast flavor.

"Then let's go together."

Zheng Yun nodded and took him with him, then looked at the girl who was still standing there: "If you don't want to leave, you can wait nearby, but the pawn shop will be closed temporarily."

"I'll get a room nearby."

Cadest's daughter nodded and left.

Zheng Yun and Zhang Ergou set off immediately, bought two tickets online, drove to the airport and took a plane directly.

Two hours later.

The two arrived at the target city.

This Western city is called New York, and there are at least a thousand place names similar to New York on the endless route.

This city and Fuen City are both on the coastline of the W-02 Northern Continent. They are also old cities with a long history. They are almost the same as Fuen City, except that there are more ethnic groups.

Zheng Yun and Zhang Ergou found a weapons shop in a Chinese neighborhood. The owner was an old overseas Chinese. Hearing that Hu Ruihua introduced him, he took them directly to the basement of the shop.

A dazzling array of items.

Everything you need.

There are things that shouldn’t be there.

Zheng Yun was stunned when he saw it. Hu Ruihua's connections were really wide. He had shown some of them when he hired local gangsters in W-06. Now this scene is even more astonishing.

Rescue is also an old business.

It can be accessed in all kinds of ways.

"Take the money."

Zheng Yun glanced around, looking at the large-caliber sniper rifle with black light hanging on the wall, as well as various firearms and bullets, and turned to Zhang Ergou.

For the sake of discipline.

It's all worth it.

Zhang Ergou picked up a black travel bag. A lot of the dirty money from Qianxian Dojo was earned by Zhang Ergou in the past, and now he spent it with his own hands.

Under the introduction of the shop owner.

Zheng Yun selected a batch of things.

Although he has never played with these things since he was a child, he has seen a lot of them on his mobile phone before. He also fought ghost generals in the Hades Pavilion, Xie Laoyu in Qianzhou Strait, and even Zhang Ergou was pointed at a gun. The ones I fought were all my own people, but I also gained a lot of experience by actually fighting them.

In a primitive mountain forest like Tiangong, silence is the top priority, and various thermal imaging and detection equipment are also key. Professional protective equipment is also needed, and everything needs to be prepared.

Let’s match it to ten people.

You need two large-caliber sniper rifles and a few grenades. These items are considered contraband in the West. If you want to go to the next level, you can't buy them here.

You have to go to small countries to get those things. As long as you have enough money, machine gun grenades and cruise drones should be fine.
