Endless route

Chapter 23 23. Ghost Seal

At 13:30 in the evening, Zheng Yun drove an off-road pickup truck south along the rainforest night road. Song Wan was sitting in the passenger seat, and they were the only ones in the car.

Those dark-colored buddies gave him the car directly and asked him to drive back and clean it up before driving back tomorrow.

Brother Zheng, do I have to smoke?

Song Wan had a cigarette in her mouth. After taking two puffs, she choked on the smell of the cigarette and coughed violently. She asked Zheng Yun with tears on her face.

Yes, don't let it pass through your lungs. Inhale it and spit it out. Zheng Yun turned to look at her. Although she was miserable, she was not allowed to take it off.

oh.

Song Wan didn't ask why. Zheng Yun asked her to suck it, so she would suck it. He must have a reason.

Now that only you and Hu Ruihua have survived, we can find out the pattern and the source of the incident. Demona is the source, and fire and distance are the keys to survival.

From the time Hu Ruihua stepped onto Corpse Lake until he took Demona away, the cigarette smoke in his mouth never stopped. Although the fire was small, maybe this is the reason why he survived.

You haven't come into contact with fire, but you haven't come into contact with Demona either. You can avoid the entanglement of a certain 'thing'.

That's probably the only rule.

Then no matter if this 'thing' is white mist, a ghost, or something else, it must be afraid of fire, so you must keep smoking one cigarette from your hand, one cigarette after another.

Zheng Yun explained aloud.

He didn't say a word.

Everyone has an objective need to contact Demona, and Xiao Li from the search and rescue team is in charge of logistics. They have no choice.

Only his good brother Liu Ming.

He took the initiative to get closer because he wanted to see what Demona looked like.

If he hadn't done this, maybe he would have survived, but he just did it.

What do you mean, what about you? You were not spared? Song Wan's eyes widened, and she asked Zheng Yun instead of caring that she had to one by one.

If I fall asleep, maybe I won't be me anymore. You have to keep this in mind. Zheng Yun took a deep look at Song Wan and gave no solution.

Is there no solution? Song Wan's emotions were up and down, and she subconsciously wanted to put the cigarette away.

Have a cigarette in your mouth. Zheng Yun stopped him.

Oh. Song Wan immediately moved her hands away.

The solution might be to warm yourself up by the fire. Almost everyone in the town is in the light of the fire. Maybe that's why they can stay awake. Zheng Yun sighed.

The locals they saw were either near campfires or lighting candles by themselves. This was the case in all the rooms along the way.

This shouldn't be accidental.

But it is an inevitable phenomenon.

There seems to be a curse here. Once caught, you will never be able to leave the light of the fire for the rest of your life.

All of them? Song Wan was surprised.

The people in the town have one thing in common. They are either knowledgeable or experienced, such as travelers and fortune tellers, as well as old people who play and sing old songs.

They may have seen the pattern, but they always stayed in this town and lured people in to dig for gold. Maybe this was the price of their lives.

Demona is also one of them. She came to W-06 from W-02 several times, maybe to bring people to the town, or maybe she was controlled by the 'thing'.

Zheng Yun held the steering wheel with one hand, stretched out the window with the other hand, and flicked the cigarette ashes outside.

He doesn't smoke.

But had to smoke.

From now on, he himself must use firelight to stay awake.

In addition, he had carefully considered this matter before. Where were Demona's teammates?

Demona did not come alone. She had teammates. When she entered the abandoned mine for the first time, she saw an off-road vehicle halfway and found several male footprints.

They investigated the off-road vehicle and found that there was nothing inside, but where were these teammates?

Who are these people?

The murderer or the victim?

When they climbed to the top of the three-meter pile of corpses, they saw two corpses without white frost on their bodies. At that time, they suspected that the enemies were pretending to be dead.

But looking back now, those two brothers may have been Demona's teammates. They were quite unlucky to meet an inexperienced search and rescuer like him who was going to sea for the first time.

What exactly is this 'thing'?

Song Wan looked at Zheng Yun's profile, and unprecedented fear spread into her heart.

Maybe it's a Yin soldier. Zheng Yun replied softly.

Ever since he saw items from the Ming Dynasty at the fortune teller, he had been 100% sure that there must have been ancient Eastern people who discovered immortal and demonic items here.

Hades Pavilion is the most likely.

Because the dictatorship of factory guards is not common, generally when the ancients explored the inland, there would not be many factory guards following them, and there was no need to carry a large number of bottles, bowls and other items.

Only special events can attract a large number of factory guards to come here, and even when they are stationed for a short period of time, so many factory guards' exclusive items will be left, such as counterinsurgency.

If the imperial court failed to quell the rebellion several times, or even the entire army was wiped out, it would definitely attract a large number of factory guards. In addition to investigating opponents, they would also conduct internal reviews.

If it involves gods, ghosts and fairies.

There will definitely be a lot of factory guards coming.

On the map of Immortal Palace, only Hades Pavilion meets all the requirements and is worthy of the Factory Guards' aggressive war. It also abandoned a large number of things that the Factory Guards autocratically controlled.

If something of the same level had happened on this continent, it should have been recorded on the Immortal Palace Map. If it hadn’t, then it really hadn’t.

Thinking back to the local man before, in addition to knowing the pronunciation of immortals and monsters, he also knew a single word, fate. Maybe that was actually Ming.

Then the guess will be correct.

The man turned into a Yin soldier, and all his teammates disappeared mysteriously.

Yin soldiers are afraid of fire, and the local people are all in the flames.

There is no gold mine, but Hades Pavilion has a lot of gold.

He did not choose to hide it. Song Wan may be the key to the next step. If something happens to him, she must have enough information to react.

After all, Hu Ruihua is a charlatan.

Even if Zheng Yun doesn't consider his own life or death, he still has to consider the safety of other people in his family.

Now it is basically certain that the story on the map of Immortal Immortal Mansion is true, and its value is almost unimaginable. Behind every place name there is a secret and a treasure of astonishing value.

The picture is still in the basement. If someone discovers it, what will the adoptive mother and Jiang Meng do?

Yin soldiers? Song Wan trembled all over.

Ghost soldiers summoned from the underworld can possess soldiers without fear of death. They can possess both living and dead people.

Zheng Yun now has some guesses.

It is written on the map of the Immortal Mansion that the troops sent out several times were defeated, and even the entire army was wiped out and turned into Yin soldiers.

The Yin soldiers who could send out troops to the imperial court and annihilate them all must be extraordinary, definitely not the lonely ghosts in the hands of ordinary people.

If the dead can be turned into Yin soldiers, combined with the large number of corpses in the abandoned mine, it makes my scalp numb just thinking about it.

I'm afraid there will be a tough battle ahead.

We can only hope that the current Yin soldiers still don't know how to use guns, otherwise it will be too difficult to save people. Even if they set fire to the cave according to the fairy mansion map, it will be quite embarrassing.

Brother Zheng, are you also possessed? How are you sure? What if you just haven't had a good rest? Song Wan was still unwilling to give up and continued to question Zheng Yun.

I had a dream last night. I dreamed that I was sealed in an underground corpse lake. I also dreamed directly of an attic in a rift valley cave. When I saw the corpse lake today, I had the idea of ​​breaking through the ice and going down.

Zheng Yun explained briefly.

Then what should we do? Do you want to stay in this town too? Song Wan sounded helpless. If something happened to Zheng Yun, she really didn't have any confidence to save people.

There is a ghost seal inside. As long as we find this ghost seal, maybe everything will be solved.

Zheng Yun said a word of comfort.

This ghost seal is written on the map of the Immortal Mansion, so it is very likely that it really exists. Looking back from now on to ancient times, this thing should still be deep underground.

In fact, the difficulty of this matter is also very high. The fortune teller should have tried to explore it a long time ago, but only retrieved some insignificant things.

But no matter what.

They're going to give it a try.

The 'curse' in La Maine Town may have lasted for hundreds of years, but no one knows its true secret. Only I, who holds the Immortal Mansion Map, can know everything in advance.

And he also has a good thing, a black jade pillow. His adoptive father said that it is an amulet and the only heirloom in the family. It can keep people safe when soaked in water.

Since the picture of the Immortal Mansion of Immortality is real.

The black jade pillow should also be fake.

Jiang Meng insisted on letting him bring it with him, and he did bring it with him. It was in the backpack where he kept his clothes.
