Endless route

Chapter 35 35. Double-edged Sword

The positions of Liu Minghuzi and others were controlled by Guixi without a master. Li Xiya could only provide the location where the Yin soldiers gathered, and then find them one by one.

Zheng Yun was forced to review the Yin soldiers.

He had to take a look at every Yin soldier.

Those who didn't respond when the torch came close were considered to be hopeless. However, they didn't encounter many people who could be saved along the way, and they were basically all living dead.

Licia explained that people who enter here for more than three days have no hope, and they will not be able to wake up if the control is released, and they will die directly.

Zheng Yun nodded.

There are some innocent soldiers and some not-innocent ones. Let's leave them all here. The innocent ones will live a few more days, and the not-innocent ones will suffer a few more days.

Ten minutes later.

The two of them found Sister Wang and Xiao Li one after another, and also found two surviving gangsters, both of whom had lost their minds and stood blankly in the cracks in the wall.

Approach with a torch.

They had obvious reactions, but they were still not completely out of control. They were so confused that they could only let them follow him first and go out to unify them.

Zheng Yun got most of the information about this place from Li Xiya on the way. She said it voluntarily. After realizing the situation, she could only do it voluntarily.

After her explanation.

Most of the truth has been revealed.

Most of the mechanisms in the Hades Pavilion are automatic and driven by underground rivers. There are three main pillars in the center of the nine-story underground pavilion. When the water is full every quarter of an hour, they will change and the three main pillars will drive and rotate at the same time.

The thick stone door blocking their escape near the top floor is also automatic. It should be the reset counterweight of the mechanism. Without the stone door, the mechanism will stop.

The secret guards of the imperial court originally dug a canal, which caused heavy water and flooded half of the Rift Valley Cave. The entrances to the Hades Pavilion and the Catacombs were also submerged.

The internal structures of these two places are complex, and the air pressure prevents water from entering, so there is basically no damage.

Gold did flow out during the gold rush period, but at that time most people were panning for gold downstream, and only a few wanted to find out, and then they could not come back.

When the West came to mine, they built a reservoir in the north and cut off the canal dug by the imperial court. Later, they used the reservoir to generate electricity and used cooling pipes to freeze the rock formations, so the water level became what it is today.

Those cooling pipes were opened and maintained by the people of La Maine Town to ensure that the abandoned cave mine would not be flooded. However, occasionally during heavy rainstorms, the abandoned mine would still be flooded.

This resulted in piles of corpses.

As long as you go to the reservoir and open the gate, the water level in the cave will be restored, making it difficult to enter the entrance. The abandoned mine will be flooded, but the Hades Pavilion on the cliff waterfall will not.

Then it will be difficult for ordinary people to enter.

There are also several unsolved mysteries.

The three-meter pile of corpses on the underground corpse lake was not piled up by man, but was walked over by Guixi's controller himself. In Li Xiya's explanation, it was called 'hoarding'.

Demona was not from La Maine Town. Her boyfriend had turned into a shady soldier, and she was here to save people. She kept rescuing people, but she herself was also infected, and then the infection lured Liu Minghuzi and the others to go together.

The figures she saw in the abandoned mine before were probably Yin soldiers. Li Xiya said she didn’t know what they were, and there might be other secrets here.

For example, the ghost general at the top.

Her situation is no different from Zheng Yun just now. She just uses firelight to stay awake and will be attacked when she enters this place. Therefore, she has never been to the top floor of the attic and has never seen a ghost general.

Zheng Yun was thoughtful.

After that, they became more cautious and found the thin young man and Liu Mingdemona one after another, leaving only Hu Zi.

Hu Zi is at the top.

Zheng Yun asked Li Xiya to take the others out of the Hades Pavilion first, and then went up to find Hu Zi alone.

Yin Bing could sense Zheng Yun coming from a distance, and Zheng Yun could roughly sense him, so he found Hu Zi just after walking more than half way.

Huzi was obviously stronger than the others. Zheng Yun didn't hold a torch, but he should still have a weak consciousness. If he shined a torch, he might be able to wake up.

After finding Hu Zi, Zheng Yun still didn't stop. He followed the formula he had discovered before and walked to the top floor in one breath, then went to the corridor and hall again.

The corridor was dark.

There was a fire burning at the end.

Zheng Yun remembered clearly that this pavilion corridor was previously lit with copper lamps, and the flames were swaying in the lamp balls.

Since it was as difficult for the people in La Maine Town to come up as it was for me, who lit this lamp?

Zheng Yun felt a little uneasy in his heart. He walked forward cautiously, walked around the corner of the corridor and looked into the depths. There was no sound from the twelve sarcophagi on the three steps.

Walk up the steps slowly.

The fire that was set before was still burning, and there was a fire all around. Among the twelve coffins, five were open, which meant that a ghost general had not returned.

Click.

There was a slight movement behind him.

Zheng Yun immediately looked back, but was so frightened by the terrifying sight in front of him that his heart stopped for a moment.

The tall ghost general was right in front of him, his cloak was full of gun holes, and under his dark arm tattooed with cyan ghost patterns, he was dragging a long, narrow and sharp knife.

It was only thirty centimeters away from me, almost right behind me. As long as I slashed it with a knife, I had no chance of escaping.

Zheng Yun broke out in cold sweat all over his body.

He didn't know when this ghost general came. As soon as he heard a little movement, it had already appeared behind him, moving like a ghost!

At this time, I can only use Guixi to save myself.

Zheng Yun looked directly at the ghost general, tried his best to stimulate his desire for control, and shouted in a low voice:

Kneel down!

With this order.

Gui Jiang's knees moved slightly, and then began to tremble. It seemed that he was controlled by Gui Xi, but he was unwilling to kneel down and was fighting against Gui Xi.

Snap.

The ghost will suddenly fall down.

It lay straight on the ground until it fell to the ground, its knees still shaking violently.

So courageous.

Zheng Yun sighed silently, took a closer look at it, and found that there seemed to be something wrong with it.

There are bullet holes on its left and right knees. It seems that it is not that it does not kneel down, but that it cannot kneel down. On the contrary, it is shaking because it wants to kneel down very much.

Stop kneeling.

Zheng Yun tentatively spoke.

Sure enough, the ghost general stopped shaking immediately and lay on the ground, as if he was about to die.

...

Zheng Yun was silent for a moment.

It seems that the ghost general is also a yin soldier. It loses its mind and cannot disobey the ghost seal, and it cannot withstand rifle fire. After all, it is a physical body and will be killed by bullets.

You can study it before you die.

What the hell is this ghost general?

Zheng Yun knelt down and took off the ghost general's hood to take a look. He was actually an Oriental. He was tall but had a very delicate appearance, and the skin on his face was quite white.

It was as black as ink below the neck. It must have been tattooed with black ink, and then lines were made with dark green paint. It was probably covered with tattoos all over its body.

The cloak seemed to be made of some kind of wire, which was tough but lightweight.

Recalling that I slashed at the ghost general's wrist before, but was blocked by something, the ghost general should have some other special items on his body.

So he lifted up his cloak and took a look.

As soon as he glanced at it, Zheng Yun's expression suddenly changed, because under the black cloak, there were actually Haiwei clothes!

Those light blue sea patterns have long since faded, and there are even a few holes, but it is still wearing it.

There are also several identity tags hanging on its waist, including the iron tag I saw before and a jade tag.

Engraved on the iron plate:

【Triton forbidden area】

[Anyone who enters by mistake will be shot without mercy]

[Trespassers will be killed]

The jade plaque is engraved with:

[Daming Haiwei]

【Ghost Suppression Division】

[No. 3327]

This man was actually a sea guard in his lifetime! Could it be that all the ghost generals in this sarcophagus are Tritons?

Recalling the three ghost generals I had seen, each one was tall and ghost-like in stature and dressed almost exactly the same. They should be selected elites.

But how did it still keep its physical body intact to this day, hundreds of years later?

Ghost Suppression Division.

Never heard of it either.

Combined with the Immortal Palace Map of Immortality and the waist badge of the Triton Commander, combined with the secret place behind the black jade pillow, the word Triton may not be that simple.

...

Zheng Yun hesitated.

The adoptive father is suspected to be related to Triton. This ghost general is also Triton, which means he is one of his own.

Even if you don't mention this relationship, he still has Guixi. The remaining ghost generals here are all his subordinates. It is a pity that one of them dies.

After thinking for a moment.

Zheng Yun sighed lightly. There was no need to think too much. This ghost was shot dozens of times in the body. Even gods in this barren mountain could not save him.

These ghost generals just stay here.

Zheng Yun only planned to take away Wang Xi and leave everything else intact, following the example of the imperial court. Perhaps if something happened in the future, these shady soldiers would be the reinforcements.

Guixi is a double-edged sword.

Just depends on how to use it.

If it falls into the hands of heretics, it will definitely be a disaster; in the hands of a righteous person, it will be a sword.

My adoptive father told these stories.

Lao Jiang's family has very strict rules on this kind of thing. If the heir knowingly commits a crime, he will be given a third-class penalty.

Now that Zheng Yun holds the sword, he must strictly discipline himself. If he has distracting thoughts and desires for profit, his fate can be seen from history. He will dig his grave and choose one of the two.
