Endless route

Chapter 20 20. Ascending to the Underworld Pavilion

It was past eleven o'clock in the evening, the hotel room was dark, a night lamp was lit on the table, the town deep in the rain forest gradually became quiet, and a cool breeze mixed with moisture blew.

Zheng Yun stayed up late at night at his desk.

The paper map that Song Wan carried with her was spread out on the table, and on her phone was a map of the Immortal Palace of Immortality. Zheng Yun moved the picture with his fingers and compared it carefully with the map.

Behind him on the bed.

Song Wan curled up in the corner and fell asleep.

She was also a newcomer going to sea for the first time, and she encountered this kind of thing for the first time. She followed them up the mountain and down to the mine, sometimes into the rain forest, and sometimes into the underground ice lake.

It's not a place for people to stay.

It’s not easy for her to persevere until now. She has been diligent and helpful all the way.

Zheng Yun asked her to sleep first.

Check the map yourself overnight.

There is the word immortal in the picture of the Immortal Mansion of Immortality. Facts have proved that this picture is really not understandable to ordinary people. Its level of confusion is mind-numbing.

This painting is very detailed, with very clear outlines of the coastline, and detailed movements of the mountains, rivers, and rivers. However, the style of the painting is too bizarre, and there are many symbols that look like secret words. I really can't understand it without studying it for several years.

Zheng Yun gritted his teeth and looked for it.

He once wondered whether a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred on this continent, which had shifted the tectonic plates and caused Lake Krogaert to be shaken out.

In desperation, he could only read the small print annotations and read all the places that seemed to be nearby.

Finally he found three.

The first one is called Luming Mountain. Legend has it that there are a group of deer crowing in the mountain, and there is a monster in the valley with a deer head and a bear body that loves water and gold. There are many treasures in the place.

The annotation says that five ships once landed on this mountain. One hundred and fifty people died unexpectedly, and three thousand people disappeared. They built an altar and sacrificed all their belongings before leaving.

The second one is called Deng'ren'tai. Among them, the human character has a handle next to it. Zheng Yun has never seen this character and can't guess the meaning. The main explanation is that before and after Li Zong of the Ming Dynasty came to the throne, he discovered the prince's heir during the Jianwen period. He was scattered here and said some bad things about the immortals.

The Mingli Sect sent troops to suppress the attack, but something happened on the way. Thousands of people fell into the rift valley, and heavy fog filled the valley. After half a month, a hundred people walked out. Their temperament changed drastically and they refused to leave. After cutting off their hair and bowing, they climbed into the people and hid in the valley.

The third one is called Hades Pavilion. This one is the weirdest. It is explained that there was a general from the previous dynasty here who could master the ghost seal and turn stones into gold. He hoarded a large amount of Yin soldiers and property here, waiting for the opportunity to rebel.

Three times in history, troops were sent out to explore this place, but each time they returned without success. In one case, the entire army was wiped out and turned into evil soldiers. The fourth time, they were set on fire and exterminated.

All three places are suspicious.

There may be a large amount of gold and silver treasure hidden in Luming Mountain, which is consistent with the speculation that gold flows out with the river.

Entering the stage will cause people to change their temperament and not want to leave, similar to Demona turning back several times.

The Hades Pavilion combines the first two. It not only has a large amount of gold, but can also reanimate people into Yin soldiers.

Zheng Yun's head hurt from seeing it.

He couldn't tell which one it was, maybe it was among them, or maybe it was none of the three. These notes were written in strange writing, and it was difficult to tell the real from the fake.

There are still not enough clues at present, and there are so many things to think about, and it is difficult to figure out what is plausible and what is not.

But Zheng Yun had some intuition.

Metaphysical things can be explained by metaphysics. He once dreamed that there was an attic deep in the Rift Valley cave. If it was true, it was probably the Hades Pavilion.

Midas touch.

In charge of Guixi.

Humans turn into Yin soldiers.

Challenge the limits of human cognition.

But there was nothing he could do now. Since he chose to speculate in the direction of gods and ghosts, he could only believe and see if he could find the person by following this clue.

At least he now has some key information. The monsters in Luming Mountain can leave by sacrificing property, and the Yin soldiers in Hades Pavilion are afraid of fire. If it is really related to these two places, this will be an important trump card.

Look up at the time.

It's twelve o'clock in the evening.

Hu Ruihua set out at ten o'clock in the evening. He had only walked for two hours and had a round trip of at least several hundred kilometers. It was estimated that he might not be able to return at fifteen o'clock in the evening.

Zheng Yun is a little sleepy, but he doesn't dare to sleep now. If he sleeps, he might lose Song Wan too, or he might lose himself.

He closed his eyes.

Carefully recall the journey from arriving here to now, and never miss any detail.

‘Demona disappeared three times. ’

‘Liu Ming hesitated to speak last night. ’

‘A few figures in the abandoned mine. ’

‘Bonfire in the town of La Maine. ’

‘Hu Ruihua likes to smoke. ’

…

at this time.

Footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. The drinkers I met at the bar of the tavern were coming from the direction of the town entrance and suddenly ran over after seeing him.

Ula Ula.

Several people were talking about it.

Zheng Yun entered the room and woke Song Wan up, led her out, and only understood after her translation.

They just saw Zheng Yun from the window and recognized Zheng Yun as the person who had inquired about gold mines before, so they came over to ask him if he was going to La Maine Town to pan for gold.

They didn't want to dig for gold. The tavern owner said that there were more people in La Maine Town than this town. They wanted to have a drink in La Maine Town. They asked Zheng Yun if they were leaving now. If they left, they would go together for a walk.

There was some hesitation in Zheng Yun's eyes. La Maine Town was too dangerous and he didn't want to involve these people. When he was about to refuse, Song Wan suddenly said something.

Several people laughed.

And then uh-oh again.

what did you say?

Zheng Yun looked at Song Wan in confusion.

I told them that the area near La Maine Town is very dangerous and people may die. If they can accept the risk, we will enter the town together.

Song Wan explained to Zheng Yun, and then whispered: Brother Zheng, we don't have much chance. A few of them said they are not afraid of risks. Let's go. They just went to drink and came back in a few hours.

Zheng Yun was silent for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Song Wan was more decisive than him at this time, and she was telling the truth. It would take at least two days for Hu Ruihua's support to arrive. They wouldn't be able to wait for a while, and there were indeed not many opportunities.

Then go, Hu Ruihua will be back in a few hours, we still have some time.

Zheng Yun sighed.

After Song Wan said this, Zheng Yun had nothing to say, so he just went to town for a walk.

Ula Ula.

Song Wan immediately communicated with several people. She had just gotten up, her hair was disheveled, but her eyes were very clear, and she kept talking to these people.

After a while.

Several people left suddenly.

I said our car didn't come back. They said they had a car. Let's drive off now and we can show them the way. Song Wan tucked her long hair behind her ears.

Leave a note for Hu Ruihua. If he comes back first, he will know where we are going. Zheng Yun nodded and led Song Wan back to make some preparations.

The two changed their clothes and put on masks and rainforest hats. At the same time, Zheng Yun packed all the weapons he could carry into his backpack.

After a while.

A few of them drove two off-road pickup trucks, leaving a back seat for Zheng Yun and Song Wan.

The two cars got on the road one after another, driving away from the town and deep into the rain forest, heading towards the town of La Maine.

Zheng Yun asked them several questions on the way, and Song Wan translated them and got the answers.

This place has thirty hours a day and fifteen hours of darkness. People don’t need to sleep for that long, so the nightlife here is very rich.

There were five of them in total. The road was blocked and they couldn't get out. After staying in this town for two days, they could only drink in the tavern every day. They had already become unbearable.

Zheng Yun asked them if they were locals and why they didn't know La Maine Town. They said they were from the coast and came to wholesale fruit.

Only after hearing this did Zheng Yun understand.

These people were fruit owners. He had previously thought that these dark-colored people were also truck drivers. No wonder these people didn't mind that the wine in the pub was expensive.
