Endless route

Chapter 240 10. Ranking of Immortal Arts?

"Speaking of the haunting incident some time ago, in addition to the sudden loss of water in the well, there was a slight vibration on the ground, and there were also faint human voices here."

The person in charge used a flashlight to shine on the surrounding ancient buildings.

The closed ruins museum looked even more profound and dead in the night, with vicissitudes of ancient buildings standing all around. The emergency escape route signs and the green light of surveillance cameras were the only sources of light.

"How long did the ground shaking last? What exactly did the voice say?" Zhai Mo immediately asked for details.

"For about half a minute, the voice said something like a fairy or a ghost. I couldn't tell whether it was a human or a ghost..."

The young security guard said slightly hesitantly.

When Zhai Mo heard this, he asked again, one question after another, trying to determine the tone of this 'haunting', whether they were hallucinating, or whether there was an objective vision.

The young security guard was the 'only' person involved. Faced with Zhai Mo's continuous questioning, a small amount of sweat gradually formed on his forehead. He was hesitating and he was getting more and more detailed, but he was also getting more and more outrageous:

"The female ghost is in the well."

"I saw a white shadow then."

"It may have gotten into the apse."

Zheng Yun looked at the surrounding cameras without saying a word. As he listened, he turned to look at the young security guard. His expression gradually changed, and he witnessed the birth of a rumor with his own eyes.

Nine times out of ten, haunted rumors are generated in this way. The more you ask, the more he will recall. The environment and atmosphere will give him hints and guidance, and then he will take some imaginary pictures seriously and add a few details to completely change them. Got the taste.

That’s just a few sentences.

He saw the female ghost with his own eyes.

But where did the female ghost come from at the bottom of the well? He and Ji Dao were sweating profusely and busy buckling bricks with all their strength.

"Is it possible that it is the shadow of the moonlight? The white shadow you see is the reflection of the moon, not the so-called female ghost."

"Also a possibility……"

The four of them walked towards the main hall of the A4 rear hall while asking questions. The person in charge took out the key from his waist, walked up the steps, and opened the door of the rear hall of this museum that is not often open to the public.

Squeak.

The wooden door is completely open.

Two rows of glass display cabinets are neatly placed in the center of the hall. The maintenance lamps cast a bright yellow light. Each display cabinet contains a priceless top cultural relic.

right here.

Zheng Yuneng could directly see deep in the hall. There was a huge jade hanging on the wall of the building. It was illuminated by the small lamp and shone crystal clear. It was the jade with the blessed cloud pattern.

"This apse and several surrounding courtyards are deep inside the commander's palace, not on the central axis. They are the commander's living quarters. The main office hall is in front."

The person in charge gave a general introduction.

But he is not working as a tour guide, but providing clues to Zheng Yun and Zhai Mo. Maybe the haunting is related to the commander?

Zhai Mo turned his head and looked at Zheng Yun.

Zheng Yun walked slowly into the hall and looked around at every object in the hall. The rich ancient charm of Triton style hit his face.

The layout and furnishings here are much more luxurious than those in the Secret Realm, and are comparable to several special attics in the Tiangong. In comparison, the Secret Realm is extremely simple.

The secret realm consists of two jade tables and a row of chairs.

There is nothing else, not to mention the carpet, jade and the copper stove in the corner. There is not even anything on the ground that the ghost general can lie down on, it is just rough black stone tiles.

Look at it this way.

Jian Xian Si is really thrifty and simple.

The person in charge walked into the depths, pointed his flashlight at the ground, and checked the status of each cultural relic. First, he confirmed whether these cultural relics were missing or had any special changes.

"Most of the cultural relics on display here are things that only commanders can touch. They are of high grade and have mixed origins. The provenances of those on display are all confirmed by the Cultural Relics Bureau. The probability of special anomalies is low, but it cannot be completely ruled out."

Zhai Mo gave Zheng Yun a rough explanation.

"What about the ones that weren't shown?"

Zheng Yun grasped the key points and made indirect remarks.

Many of Triton's relics are related to the methods of gods and ghosts, and these objects all look ordinary. At a glance, you can't tell that they have anything to do with gods and ghosts.

For example, if no one explained his jade xun and jade lanterns, no one would have thought that they were the key to controlling gods and ghosts. They were just ordinary small objects.

Jade Xun also has good carving skills.

The mouthball is also considered to be well constructed.

But the jade lanterns and the iron signs that control the ghost figurines are completely unremarkable, and no one took them seriously after passing the security check.

In terms of historical value, these things are not worthy of being put into the high-end display cabinets of museums. They are more likely to be regarded as 'living utensils' and thrown into storage rooms to gather dust.

Before coming into contact with Hanxian, the jade lantern was just a lighting device. At most, its light was white and had a fairy-like feel. It was harmless to humans and animals and was ordinary. It was too dark to be used to illuminate the road.

But as long as you come into contact with Hanxian.

The jade lantern is the magic weapon of the immortal family.

So something like this is likely to be missed.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Blessing City was one of the top five most important governors in the entire Western Territory at that time. It had the qualification to directly connect to the Secret Realm, and the Commander was a member of the Supervisory Immortal Division.

Such a level of leadership.

There are definitely many tricks under his command.

Or to think about it another way, many of the methods of gods and ghosts have geographical restrictions and special sources. For example, the Hades Pavilion cannot be moved, and the cold immortals can only breed in the Immortal Cave in the Extremely Cold Mountains.

The purpose of the Immortal Supervisor building the secret realm may be to gather all kinds of ghost and ghost methods scattered in the major immortal continents into one place through the Immortal Sect, making it easier for the Immortal Supervisor to dispatch.

That must be whose family has the most magic and ghost methods, and whose method is the most powerful, open a fairy gate to connect that family.

The more than twenty great immortal gates in the third section of the hall may be arranged using this logic. It is a ranking list of gods, ghosts and immortals, and the Heavenly Palace is also lucky enough to be included in the list.

But Tiangong is only in the middle reaches.

The natural products of the Heavenly Palace can almost collect the monsters from the mountains and seas, including the fairy lake dragon, the tower fairy turtle, the cranes and the flocks of monsters, horses and dogs, plus the three magical arts of dragon control, mystery suppression and immortality, but still It can only be ranked in the middle of the list.

This is horrifying to think about.

In theory, the Tiangong Dragon Control Technique is definitely not much worse than Hanxian. If it were the heyday of the Tiangong Patriarch's lifetime, the upper limit of the Dragon Control Technique would be even better than that of Hanxian.

There are thousands of cranes and hundreds of dragons, as well as a large number of powerful monsters that Ji Dao can't control and that he has never heard of. They can attack three thousand miles in one night and massacre the city in a snap.

Three Immortal Techniques are barely in the top ten.

So what are the top five places?

Could it be that there is a distinction between superior and inferior immortal arts? There is a ranking of immortal arts. The three immortal arts in the Tiangong are not as good as the immortal arts in some places? Or is it that the ruins that brought down Triton were due to the out-of-control backlash of these immortal continents, turning from immortal arts into immortal enemies?

Let’s not mention this matter for now.

Thinking a little too far ahead.

Just consider the current situation.

The Ming Dynasty has more than one hundred and thirty capitals, but there are only ten who are qualified to connect to the secret realm. These ten capitals had the largest population in ancient times and were most in need of the protection of the Immortal Supervisor.

But except for the protection of Jianxiansi.

These ten governors must have their own means.

But where are Fuci Dusi's own means? Even if Haiwei evacuates, it will be difficult to move places like Hades Pavilion, and some of them must be hidden around Dusi.

The area of ​​W-07 is twice that of the Earth. The southwest continent was called Shen'en Continent in ancient times. Until now, this continent has not been completely explored and developed on a large scale.

Perhaps these magical means of blessing Dusi are hidden deep in the rainforests that have no minerals and are completely ignored by humans? Hidden in the vast and remote mountains?

The key to unlocking the methods of these gods and ghosts, and the magic weapon to control these gods and ghosts, lies deep in this museum.

They are piled together with ordinary antiquities.

Without Ji Dao's vision and knowledge of gods and ghosts, no one would be able to recognize him, not even the Cultural Relics Bureau.

"When you reach the status of a capital commander, every item has a great origin. However, the history is broken and the archives are chronological. It is difficult to sort out the history before the Ming Dynasty is compiled, and the Cultural Relics Bureau does not dare to display those things rashly."

Zhai Mo answered Zheng Yun's question, what is left in the A4 rear hall will not appear in front of the world in a short time.

Zheng Yun nodded and said no more.

It is not difficult to tell from Zhai Mo's statement that the Cultural Relics Bureau must have known that the commander's relics might be related to gods and ghosts, so they were extremely cautious and did not dare to open them to the public.

Totally understandable.

Even if he mastered the exact usage, Zheng Yun would not dare to bring Hanxian into the modern city. Once a trace of it is leaked, it will lead to the death of countless ordinary people.

The power is really too great.

And it's almost impossible to process.

The same goes for the neurotoxins in the ghost figurines. If even a little bit of it is exposed, people on the street will twist their necks and commit suicide.

Maybe scientists can figure out the principle of this weird manifestation, but they can't prevent it. Even gas masks are useless. Toxins can invade the skin or be spread through water.

If the evildoers were allowed to obtain these means, the world would be in chaos, and killing people would be enough. I am afraid that those who control living people like Hades Pavilion would have a greater impact on society.

If there are ghosts and ghosts in the city.

When the Supervisory Immortal Division came, they were all very worried.

You have to be careful if you know the specific usage, not to mention that Triton has not left any instructions for the Cultural Relics Bureau. The Cultural Relics Bureau has no idea what they are, so you have to be more careful.

on this side.

Triton and the Cultural Relics Bureau have the same idea.

The methods of magic and ghosts must not be obtained by bad people.

Therefore, we are not afraid of the Cultural Relics Bureau’s means of sealing up the gods and ghosts, but we are afraid that their sealing is not thorough enough and that insiders are hiding it secretly. People’s hearts are the most unpredictable, and destruction is the only way...

And Zhai Mo also said that the Cultural Relics Bureau has many things whose origins cannot be determined, and there may be magic weapons in them.

It's best to find a chance to take a look.

Let Ji Daodu take a look at the cultural relics that cannot be displayed, and try to take them away if there are any missing ones.

While thinking, a few people walked into the hall and scanned around. Most of the things in the exhibition cabinets were antiques with exquisite shapes and precious materials. The introduction signs had historical records of their origins.

These things are beautiful enough.

It is very suitable for ordinary people to come and watch the fun.

But to Zheng Yun, these things don't have much meaning. They are just ordinary ornaments and utensils.

Shortly after.

Everyone walked into the deepest part.

Zheng Yun stood in front of the jade. The main exit of the Immortal Gate was on the ground directly below the jade. The secret door was so finely made that there was no passage underneath.

In the past, I had always stood in the glass showcase to see the jade at close range. This was the first time I looked in from the outside.

Scanned around.

Nothing unusual.

The person in charge ran over panting and said that all the cultural relics were fine and there was no risk of theft or alteration.

Zheng Yun took advantage of the situation and looked towards the camera position.

This time it is not necessary to find a way out for the Immortal Sect. Stepping on the points, writing down the location of the camera, and remembering the surrounding security arrangements can be regarded as completing the task.

If I can't find it this time.

They can come back another time.

The next time can be a few hours later, or at any time, but no one will be around to follow.

"It's okay, just go out and have a look." Zheng Yun said for the purpose of checking in and walked towards the side door of this hall.

Zhai Mo and others immediately followed.

Several people returned to the well in the side courtyard and looked at the blue brick houses in the side courtyard. They all opened the door and went in to look around.

Still no clues.

Zheng Yun had no clues about other ways out of the Immortal Sect, and Zhai Mo and others also found no clues about the 'haunting'.

After some tossing.

Everyone was discussing in front of the well.

Zheng Yun took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Ji Dao, telling him that he was almost ready to come back. Now there was only one last step left, which was to give Zhai Mo and the others an explanation of 'catching ghosts'.

at this time.

Suddenly there was the sound of a lot of water in the well, moving rapidly from far to near. After a while, Ji Dao's head appeared at the bottom of the well, looking up at Zheng Yun with a strange expression but saying nothing.

"What's wrong?"

Zhai Mo asked anxiously.

"Just say it."

Zheng Yun thought that Jidao had "entered the drama".

"Master Yun, something is wrong. There is something really wrong in this well. I really saw a few shadows floating over."

Ji Dao blinked hard at Zheng Yun.

"What kind of shadow?"

Zhai Mo immediately asked for details.

Jidao was still about to speak but stopped looking at Zheng Yun.

Zheng Yun frowned slightly and noticed something was wrong. Ji Dao's acting skills shouldn't be that good. He might be telling the truth.

It's a bit difficult now.

Jidao must have some things that he couldn't say in front of outsiders, but at this moment it was difficult for them to whisper behind Zhai Mo's back.

"You come up first and then talk."

Zheng Yun gave Ji Dao a step up.

"I can't get up. That thing is behind me now. I can see it from the corner of my eye. It may have crawled onto me." Ji Dao said the truth in a shocking voice.

His words shocked everyone.

Zheng Yun's expression suddenly changed, and Zhai Mo and others felt their tail vertebrae run cold. That thing was actually on Ji Dao's body?

"What exactly is that? How do you feel now? Has it hurt you?" Zhai Mo quickly asked.

"You walk forward a little." Zheng Yun said at the same time.

This is really troublesome. There are so many people around, and they can't use any magical means. If there is something on Ji Dao's back, Ji Dao's life will be in danger.

Even if he is not in danger, if things get serious, it will easily arouse the warning of the Cultural Relics Bureau. Once the Cultural Relics Bureau starts a thorough investigation of the haunting, it might accidentally find the Immortal Gate.

But I can't care about that much at the moment.

Ji Dao's life must be saved.

If it doesn't work, take action, knock Zhai Mo and others unconscious, and wait for them to solve the problem before thinking of a solution.

"That thing didn't hurt me, but I don't know where it came from. I didn't see it at all."

Ji Dao nodded and paddled forward two steps, exposing his back to the beams of several flashlights.

There is indeed something.

It was a piece of white skin.

The skin floated on the surface of the well and hung just on Ji Dao's back. It looked very much like it was pestering Ji Dao.

"What it is?"

Zhai Mo was so frightened that he exclaimed.

The surface of the leather was very rough and pitted, with white-gray hair on one side, like an old sheepskin.

Zheng Yun was also shocked.

With Ji Dao's ability, how did this thing crawl onto Ji Dao's back silently? What is it?

"Wait a minute, that seems to be used for algae removal and disinfection. Algae grew in the well water some time ago. The museum purchased a batch of algae removal items and threw them into the well to kill the algae."

The person in charge of security suddenly spoke.

"Ah? Then why does this thing move on its own? And how does it appear out of thin air?" Jidao looked puzzled.

"It is also a kind of algae. This kind of algae only eats other algae. After the other algae are eaten, it will starve to death. After you go down, may this kind of algae be used as food? Then these algae will be scattered. Converged on you?"

The person in charge also found it incredible.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for this kind of algae to accumulate on humans, because the diet of this kind of algae only contains algae. It is completely harmless to humans and should not be like this.

"..."

Zheng Yun and Ji Dao were both silent.

They knew the truth. Ji Dao was in the Heavenly Palace during this period, creating a suitable place for the ghosts to live, and the most critical part of it was the green ghost algae on the deep-sea floating boat.

Ji Dao came into contact with the algae every day, picked it up from the underground sea and sent it to the heavenly palace, and was busy growing algae in the dead pool.

Probably because of the marinade.

He also smelled of algae.
