Endless route

Chapter 248 18. The first pass of the palace is a level of pass

"The egg should have no heat source. It can't be seen from the imaging results. If you want to find its egg, you can only break through the ice and look around." Kedester held the instrument and looked around.

"This Xian Ao should be of the same generation as the Seventh Generation Patriarch. If calculated based on seniority, I have to respectfully call him Ao Ancestor."

Jidao looked weird and pinched his fingers to calculate.

"I don't know if the fumigation furnace can drive this immortal turtle. It is trapped here." Zheng Yun observed the environment and found that unless a section of the coast was demolished, Aozu could not be released.

It's strange to say.

Is the purpose of the ancient Tiangong people in besieging Aozu just to build a fishing pavilion and landscape? Ao Zu is still alive. Such a huge Xian Ao may be more than just a fairy noodle display.

The ancients generally would not be so extravagant and wasteful, especially Haiwei who has always been diligent and frugal. The ancient ships in the chain were all abandoned old ships. This Aozu may have other uses.

"You shouldn't be able to try it in winter. Aozu has already started hibernating. His breathing rhythm is extremely slow. He can only take a complete breath in a minute." Kedester shook his head.

It is not difficult to wake up Aozu, but the consequences of awakening are unpredictable. Even the Aojia is so huge, its head and neck are not small, and it may be bitten to death by a dragon.

"Stand back."

Zheng Yun looked at the instrument data and used the telescope to observe the fishing pavilion again. He still couldn't see its true function. He only felt that the fishing pavilion was not suitable for long trips to the sea.

"Chief, I found that the depth of the lake here is only about fifty meters." Kedester reported other findings.

"The inner lake of the Immortal Sea is close to the Heavenly Palace and is dotted with many immortal islands. Is it normal for the water level to be shallow?" Zheng Yun looked around. The water level in this terrain must not be deep.

"Then there are no other clues."

Kedester shook his head and put away the equipment.

"If we can drive this Aozu, then our Heavenly Palace will be really prosperous." Ji Dao's eyes glowed, and then he suddenly realized the problem: "But it shouldn't be able to pass through the Immortal Gate."

"Let's go around it. Don't wake it up. This time we only take out the smoker and try again after spring." Zheng Yun walked towards the ancient port of Xiandao, no longer thinking about Aozu's role.

Everyone immediately followed.

Not long after walking on the ice lake, they returned to the port again. The Yin soldiers sent up before were still alive and stood quietly on both sides of the stone road, guiding them through the wind and snow.

"Get ready to go."

Zheng Yun asked everyone to take out their chemical protective suits and put them on. This was not a big deal. It was really that the Shengui Xianzhou was too dangerous, and this Mountain and Sea Xianzhou was among the top ten.

The main island of the Immortal Island is also extremely weird. It is a small island, but it contains many keywords such as the Triton Site, Immortality Technique, Immortal Ao Guard, and There Seems to Be an Immortal.

Almost full.

They have never encountered a place with such complete elements. Although it is Tiangong's own territory, they still have to be careful. It would be a joke if they get lost here.

After making sufficient preparations, everyone went back to the ancient port. Under the protection of Yin soldiers and ghost generals, a large group of people climbed up the stairs in the wind and snow, and once again visited the Yiguan Hall on the mountainside.

The procession moved slowly.

In front of Zheng Yun were eight pairs of sixteen Yin soldiers opening the way, and four ghost generals leading the way with swords. Behind him were a large number of accompanying men and the protection of the Hanxian, and there were cranes surrounding him in the air.

Jidao took the opportunity to look through ancient books. He had just asked the Tiangong Taoist Priest to fetch a complete record of ancient talismans and was currently deciphering the ancient talisman containing information that was painted on the wall of the First Pass Hall.

Keep going up along the stone road.

The Yin soldiers at the front took the lead through the wind and snow and stepped onto the open space in front of the palace. Everyone was alert and followed slowly. After the ghost general with the sword also stepped onto the open space, Zheng Yun stepped onto the last stone steps.

Yiguan Hall stands among the snow.

The Yin soldiers and ghosts will be scattered everywhere, walking along the edge of the open space in front of the temple, vaguely intending to surround the Yiguan Temple.

"There is no heat source in this loft."

Cadest used a handheld device to observe the ancient buildings. After some simple debugging, he held a tablet to show the results to Zheng Yun.

There really is no heat source.

But the temperature was a little different. The temperature on the ice was minus six degrees, and Ikkanden was obviously a little colder.

"Master Immortal, the information contained in this rune is very strange. It seems to be a location. I wonder, Master Immortal, if you still remember the turtle shell method when we were looking for the Demon Pregnancy Tower?"

Ji Dao scratched his scalp through the chemical protective suit.

Zheng Yun immediately recalled that when they were looking for the Three Demon Islands in the Misty Sea, there were many islands nearby. They used the turtle shell pathfinding method to find the final target.

Pathfinding is also easy with this tortoise shell.

Divide an island into ten directions, such as southeast, northwest, and so on, and divide it into ten heavenly stems such as A, B, C, and D according to the order of tortoise shells.

The meaning of A entering and B exiting is to enter the island from the north, go around half a circle to the west gate of the island and then exit.

A and C leave from the north of the island and head straight north until they encounter the next island, then they circle half the island and continue sailing straight west from the west of the island.

This tortoise shell pathfinding method can be used even if you can't distinguish between east, west and north. You can use the tortoise shell direction instead of the right position.

As long as the predecessors write down the order of the tortoise shells and leave a string of heavenly stems, future generations can follow the old path and enter any maze, and this string of heavenly stems cipher text cannot be deciphered by outsiders.

"The talisman pointed out a route?" Zheng Yun asked.

"It is indeed a route, but it is not the route of the thirty-six immortal islands in the inner lake of Xianhai, but the route of the one hundred and eight islands in the outer lake of Xianhai, because the turtle shell is in C."

Ji Dao raised his hand and pointed to the west.

Directly to the west of Xiandao is Xiandai Lake, where water vapor is steaming and white mist is flowing. Snow velvet and fog are intertwined, rolling up and down on the lake surface, like a misty fairyland.

It is exactly the same as the Mist Sea.

As soon as you go in, you can't tell the direction.

The upright position is C, which means that the first section of the route goes straight into Xianhai Lake, and then the subsequent Tiangan position.

"Is this tortoise shell pathfinding method exclusive to Triton to mark the way in the foggy sea?" Kedster asked aloud.

"Unusual."

Zheng Yun frowned and looked at the Xianhai Lake. He felt that this matter was very strange, but he still gave Kedester the answer.

"It's really not common. Tritons don't need tortoise shells to find their way in the Misty Sea. They usually go to sea as captains, and there are many ways to find their way. They usually don't use this kind of secret text."

Jidao echoed, then looked down at the runes and began to decipher them more carefully, muttering:

"This ancient rune urn has three layers. In addition to the tortoise-shell and heavenly stems, there are also the five elements of heaven, earth, sun, moon, and stars. Not only is it extremely complicated, but the final route to be solved is also very long."

"how long?"

Zheng Yun turned his head and looked at Jidao.

With such a complicated route and such a burning method, the end point pointed by this ancient talisman must not be simple.

This talisman was painted brightly on the wall of the first pass hall, for fear that future generations would not see it. Jidao had previously said that it might have been left by his master, but now it seems that the possibility is very high.

"Bing comes out, A comes out, Geng comes out, Geng comes out, Xin comes out... There are more than ten words around Xianhai Lake, and then they are all B out, Bing out and Ding out, generally heading towards the west." Jidao Disassemble the detailed results on a tablet.

"I'm afraid it's already out to sea."

Zheng Yun sighed softly, and Jidao wrote and drew on the tablet. In a short time, he wrote more than forty positions of heavenly stems.

I don’t know how far apart each island is. If the distance between islands is only a thousand meters, then the total distance of more than forty days is not that far, just forty kilometers.

But if the distance between each island is often tens or even hundreds of kilometers, then the total of more than forty days would be unimaginable. It is likely that we have crossed the Sea of ​​Mist, not only to the west of the Heavenly Palace, but even to the west of the mountains and seas. Xianzhou.

Moreover, the turtle shell pathfinding method is usually used in extreme situations where the direction and route are completely unclear.

For example, when the foggy sea filled the sky with white mist, it was almost the same as when I was near the Pregnant Demon Tower. I didn’t even know where I was.

Or when you enter a strange place and you can't tell the difference between east, west and north, and you can only rely on the stars to confirm that the route is straight.

It only took them five Heavenly Stems to find the Three Demon Islands, because this turtle-shell pathfinding method is extremely efficient. The ancestors would also optimize the route and find the shortest way. Five or six rounds of detours would be enough to deal with most situations. .

Now there are a total of forty heavenly stems, and they all use tortoise shells to find their way. What kind of extreme situation is this? What kind of route requires Guijia Tiangan to find forty rounds?

Are you walking along the V-shaped hypotenuse of the Sea of ​​Mist? Two to three thousand kilometers are covered in fog, so is it forced to be like this?

But that's not right. When encountering this situation, why not leave the fog range and then go in to find the way?

"Master Immortal, where is this?"

Ji Dao was sweating profusely as he took the deciphered results. The more he read, the more frightened he became. He was quite frightened by the answer.

"The turtle path must be an island? Could it be something else, like a fork in the maze?"

Kedester asked. He didn't understand the route map of the Eastern ancestors, but this question also made sense.

"It's possible, but it's not smaller, but bigger, because in addition to the heavenly stems, there are also the sun, moon and stars. Those are used to assist, and the target cannot be smaller."

Ji Dao shook his head and rejected the speculation.

"Are there any changes in the position of the sun, moon and stars you mentioned, such as the great changes in the sky and the earth?" Zheng Yun asked again, and he could ask whether the end point of the route left the Shanhaixianzhou.

Only after the planet jumps will the stars change. They don't know how big the mountain, sea and fairy continent are, but if the sun, moon and stars don't change, this route will not leave the fairy continent.

"Yes, this is a palindrome structure. The sun, moon, and stars change once and are connected to the middle of the heavenly stem position. This means that there will be a star shift halfway through."

Ji Dao nodded and gave the answer.

Zheng Yun knew it in his heart and stopped asking. This talisman should be a route to the foggy sea, and the end point is on the other side of the foggy sea, on the route neighbor of Shanhaixianzhou.

Don't know what's there yet.

But it seems that Haiwei Superintendent Xianji has not given up completely. When his adoptive father gave him a black jade pillow, he said that it was a talisman. If something happened, he could soak it in the water to keep the family safe.

Although he didn't leave a word.

But the adoptive father left a chance.

Whether he will open the black jade pillow and whether he will enter the secret realm is not determined by man at all, but by destiny.

Completely resigned to fate.

The previous supervisor Sensi was really free and easy.

The situation on the Tiangong side is the same. Master Jidao only left sixteen words of last words, which was as decisive as his adoptive father, but it also left an opportunity for Jidao, who can see it as long as he lands on the island.

But whether Jidao will come to Yiguan Palace and whether he can see this ancient rune urn is also an unknown fate.

Although this route is simple, they simply walked directly from the ice, but it is not easy behind the scenes. Ji Dao must at least support himself to have enough energy to wander around.

And no one knows Ji Dao better than Master Ji Dao. Although he is greedy, fun-loving and has a reckless personality, and he fantasizes about making achievements every day, he has no interest in immortality.

Whenever there is a trace of desire.

He has been to Yiguan Palace a long time ago.

For Ji Dao, living alone in a heavenly palace for hundreds of years may be something he can barely accept. Anyway, he is so busy planting in spring and harvesting in autumn that a lifetime will pass in the blink of an eye.

But if he were allowed to live forever and stay alone in the Heavenly Palace for two to three or even seven or eight hundred years, Ji Dao would definitely not be punished by that bird, and he might jump from the Immortal Burial Valley one day.

At the same time, Ji Dao is very disciplined. The main island of Immortal Island was built by the Immortal Supervisor, so he will never come. He will guard the Tiangong territory honestly and has not even gone out many times outside the territory.

Therefore, as long as he did not come, Jidao would not be able to come to Yiguan Palace no matter what, and he would not be able to see this talisman at all.

It seems that this is the gate of the palace.

In fact, it is also a level one.

Only when they open the black jade pillow and enter the secret realm, breaking the balance of the Heavenly Palace, can they step into the threshold.

Perhaps there is another question here.

There is immortality on this main island, so it is not that simple for Ji Dao to take the initiative to take him to the island. If he just longed for immortality, he might not be where he is today.

"Come in and get the smoker."

Zheng Yun raised his head and looked at Yiguandian.

If the guess is correct, they have not passed this level yet, and the final goal is the smoke furnace. They must obtain the smoke furnace before they can ride Xian'ao or Ao Zuxi out of Shanhai Xianzhou.

The words fell.

Zheng Yun raised his hand and waved, and the Yin soldiers immediately walked towards the open door of Yiguan Hall, testing the road with themselves to detect the bad luck.

In a battle of wits and courage with your ancestors, you have to keep dozens of eyes open, especially when it involves level tests.

The above-mentioned acting supervisor Xiansi is so cruel that even if an evil thing rushes out of Yiguan Palace at this moment and wants to kill them all with a sword, Zheng Yun will not be an exception.

The adoptive father can definitely do it.

If he and Ji Dao couldn't even pass the first level, how could they be entrusted with the subsequent important tasks?

But at the same time, Zheng Yun also has absolute confidence.

Because they actually skipped the level, before they opened the secret realm and the fairy gate of the heavenly palace, and had the opportunity to come to the fairy island, they had already experienced four dangerous places with ghosts and ghosts, and accumulated a lot of means.

At this moment, I have a ghost seal that can control Yin soldiers and ghost generals, a hand-held jade lantern that can control the cold immortals, an iron plate that can control Yin ghost figurines, and even a blood pill first aid and a crane to protect my path.

Ji Dao has also grown a lot. He originally had two immortal arts in his body, and now he is protected by many people, and he is also blessed by various heaven-defying magic weapons of modern technology.

No matter what, he and Ji Dao are no longer novices. Now facing this 'novice level', no matter how difficult the level is, they will definitely be able to pass it with ease.

While thinking.

歘.

歘.

歘昘.

The seven ghost generals suddenly drew their swords in unison.

A sudden change occurred in front of them. The two Yin soldiers who were the first to enter the Immortal Gate of Yiguan Palace suddenly lost their legs and fell to the ground.

Uh-huh.

A bloody light appeared at the same time.

Splashed out from the Yin soldiers.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew past, and at the exit of the palace gate, a figure appeared in the misty wind and snow. This man was eight feet tall, wearing a black robe, and stood quietly on the spot holding a sword.

He emerged with that wind.

Across the wind and snow, Yiguandian and Zheng Yun looked at each other.

You can vaguely see that under the black robe, his face is as withered and thin as firewood, his eye sockets are as deep as a corpse, his sharp eyes are chilling, and his scruffy hairpins are dancing in the wind and snow.

The long sword on his side is five feet long, and is of the same standard as Ji Dao's Tiangong sword. The cold light looming is frightening.

at the same time he appeared.

A large amount of confusion poured out from the gate.

hiss.

There was a gasp of air behind Zheng Yun, and Kedester, the little Taoist priest, and others were all shocked by this scene.

"Master Immortal, his face is as withered as a corpse, and his feet are still shackled by iron ropes. At this moment, he appears in Yiguan Hall on the main island. This is an immortal corpse!" Ji Dao said coldly.

"How to say?"

Zheng Yun's face was calm and not afraid at all.

"I suggest we run."

Ji Dao gave the answer with a smile on his face.
