Endless route

Chapter 44 5. The Legend of Siren

After spending a morning strolling around Qianfu City near the sea, Zheng Yun and the other three also switched identities and transformed into senior tourists to go deep into some streets and alleys to explore the secrets deep inside.

After carefully walking around, they walked to the second circle drawn by their adoptive father. This circle was smaller and located in a shady alley.

When Emperor Li Zong of the Ming Dynasty built Qianxiantai, digging the mountain took up most of the time. A large number of criminals served as laborers and dug the mountain into a platform.

But there are still edges.

This shady alley is on the edge, with a rock wall behind it, and few tourists come here.

Zheng Yun saw a Taoist temple from a distance. There was a copper alchemy furnace in the courtyard, which was taller than a person. There was a fire under the furnace, and it seemed that the alchemy was being made.

The name of the gym is Yintai Hall.

This place looked weird. Zheng Yun glanced at it from a distance, but did not take Liu Ming and Song Wan there.

This place was probably the most dangerous place they had encountered along the way today.

Because the cauldron alchemy furnace opened its door stupidly, it turned out to be an antique with a long history. It had been stored here for hundreds of years. The Taoist temple that could transport the copper furnace to Qianxiantai must have saved a lot of money for incense.

However, this gymnasium is located in a remote corner, which shows that its status in the court is not high, and it is at the bottom or not among the thousands of gymnasiums.

What elixir can make you money from incense?

May your son live longer and strengthen his yang.

Immortality, refreshing and immortality.

But these are not considered low-end people. The real low-end people still earn money from incense, so they can only be found in some evil ways.

This thing is hard to say.

The ancients made alchemy in a variety of ways, including all kinds of things. There were so many alien planets in the Endless Passage, in the sky, on the earth, and in the sea. There were too many strange and weird things, and there were also a lot of poisonous things.

In ancient times, highly toxic compounds were used to make elixirs. As they were refining, some colorful smoke was emitted, which made people feel light and airy, and they transformed into immortals on the spot.

The others also clapped their hands and applauded, saying that this was a sign that the elixir was about to be released, and that one breath of the elixir's energy would turn one into an immortal, so they continued to refine it. The three generations of masters and disciples could not refine a single elixir, and they all burped halfway.

They said nothing.

The whole village was shocked.

At that time, there were also people who made elixirs, and finally made some ashes, which were widely praised, and sold to wealthy businessmen who wanted to prolong their lives.

In short, it has everything.

And people still believe it to this day, and people often cross the ocean to seek medicine to cure terminal illnesses.

These are the things that Zheng Yun is afraid of. The Endless Sea Route is too big and there are new discoveries every day. And these alchemists like to go to the deep mountains and old forests to find things.

Alchemists who have money for incense can also go to sea, and even go to places other than W-08 to find medicinal materials, specifically looking for some weird things to come back to refine.

If there is something poisonous in the elixir being refined in this furnace, they will also suffer.

So Zheng Yun and the others turned around and ran away, covering their mouths and noses without daring to breathe, and they didn't stop until they returned to the main road.

Still going up?

Liu Ming looked at the picture in Zheng Yun's hand. Only the last of the three circles was left, but it was very far away from here, already halfway up the snow mountain.

Forget it. Zheng Yun shook his head.

He has roughly understood that there is only one possibility for his adoptive father to draw a circle, that is, he is drawing a target.

Unless the adoptive father's route is to first go to the Taoist temple to ask for elixirs to cure his illness, and after taking the elixirs to no avail, he goes to the euthanasia place and inquires about euthanasia...

This is absolutely impossible.

The adoptive father has a black jade pillow. Even if he asks for pills, he can't find this place. There is also a 'Heavenly Palace' in the secret realm.

Then let's go back? Don't tell me, this place is really interesting. Liu Ming was satisfied.

He gained a lot of knowledge along the way. No wonder there are so many tourists in this place. It is indeed fun, as long as you ignore the weird things deep in the alley.

It's really interesting.

Zheng Yun looked around.

If the unknown cause of the adoptive father and Jiang Meng's illness is due to being contaminated with something unclean, are its sources located in these places?

It cannot be confirmed or denied.

It seems that we still need to investigate further and wait until he brings the ghost general.

Shall we have a meal first? Song Wan hugged her belly. They had only eaten some snacks while wandering around.

Yeah. Zheng Yun nodded.

The three of them took a taxi back to the hotel and found a small restaurant selling seafood. The owner was a Chinese man who came to this place to open a shop fifteen years ago.

He is half a local.

So Zheng Yun asked a few questions, whether people often disappeared in this place and how the security was.

The boss also said that he was not sure because the entire offshore area is visa-free and no one counts tourists. There must be missing people, but there has been no big news recently.

Generally, when tourists disappear, there are many rumors spread through the grapevine. The bosses also know that there are unclean things inside, so they rarely go in and wander around.

Are there often shipwrecks nearby? Liu Ming waited for Zheng Yun to finish asking and then asked the same question himself.

That's too much. The Qianzhou Strait has never stopped for a few days since ancient times. No matter the weather is good or bad, several ships are missing at every turn.

My restaurant has a fishing boat that we often cooperate with. The owner of the boat quietly told me that there are sea monsters in the Qianzhou Strait near the Misty Sea. He has seen it with his own eyes.

The boss immediately became energetic, lowered his voice, and told them about the Kraken in a mysterious tone.

What kind? Song Wan asked curiously.

It looks almost exactly like a human. Legend has it that in ancient times, two boat masters sank there at one time, so it was named Qianzhou Strait. To this day, there are still relics left by the Ming Dynasty's suppression of sea monsters in that place.

The boss said a few words, and the table next to him suddenly shouted that he wanted to pay. Halfway through, the other person ran away.

Zheng Yun calculated that if the two of them were sailors who went to sea normally, they would probably have more than a hundred ships, and the number of people would probably be in the tens of thousands.

What happened next? Liu Ming asked loudly.

You don't know about this? The captain sank and the Tritons suppressed the monsters. In order to exterminate the monsters, the Tritons massacred all the nearby fishing villages. In recent years, when building buildings were built, the bones were dug out.

An older brother at the next table answered, speaking in a northern dialect, and started talking to them while holding a glass of wine.

At that time, I opened a shop across the street and dug up thousands of human bones. They were placed in a pit on the seaside. The bones were found to be from the Mingli Zong period. People said that a sea monster came ashore and sneaked into the fishing village, and the factory guards slaughtered them all.

The restaurant owner confirmed this statement.

The boat master sank and no one went to fish it out?

Liu Ming raised a question. Ancient sunken ships were full of antiques. Although they would be worthless if there were too many, the gold and silver treasures on the ship would always be valuable.

Why not, but whoever goes will die. At that time, the sea guard drew a circle near the sunken ship, sank something to the bottom of the sea, and sealed the Kraken inside. The fishing boat was fine outside the circle, but once it entered the circle, it was designated that it could not come back.

In the early years, it was fine. But in recent years, those sea monsters seem to have come out again. Shipwrecks often occur, and fishing boats go around that place.

The restaurant owner became more and more mysterious as he spoke.

Zheng Yun listened very carefully. This matter involved Haiwei. To others, it was just a legend after dinner, but to Zheng Yun, it was not.

He knew that there were capable men and strangers among the Tritons. If the Tritons went to great lengths to suppress the monsters, it was definitely not a fool's errand. There might really be a sea monster nearby.

I just don’t know if this so-called sea monster is some kind of sea creature, or if it is really related to gods and ghosts.

I just said there must be something wrong with that cry for help. Liu Ming looked at Zheng Yun and whispered.

...

Zheng Yun didn't answer.

They had nothing to do with Siren Baganzi, and at most they would avoid that place in the future. Even if Zheng Yun was curious, he would not risk his life just to have a look.
