Endless route

Chapter 342 112. Part of the truth and the birth of the fairy tower [begins to end]

The journey from the secret realm to the Immortal Burial Valley is very short. You pass through the Immortal Gate of the Heavenly Palace and enter the main hall. After bypassing the Immortal Gate, you can directly see the endless deep Immortal Valley shrouded in clouds and mist.

The scene was almost the same as the previous scene when handling the dragon-marked blood coffin. The Yin soldiers carried the coffin and ran all the way to the edge of the Immortal Burial Valley. They took out a large number of climbing ropes, tied them to the sarcophagus and quickly hung them down.

Then there is the continuous relay.

Bundles of climbing ropes were connected continuously, and the sarcophagus continued to fall towards the depths of the Immortal Burial Valley at a height of 100 meters.

The Immortal Burial Valley is nine thousand meters deep, with sheer cliffs plunging into the depths, and heavy clouds stretching across the valley. No one knows the scene at the bottom of the valley, and no one can climb from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain alive.

Until I saw the sarcophagus submerged by the sea of ​​clouds.

Zheng Yun Jidao breathed a sigh of relief and called a few people to stand guard at the edge of the rope. They would report the abnormality as soon as it happened.

Why did Master Xian suddenly change his ways?

Ji Dao breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the fairy gate to ask.

This sarcophagus may not be the complete source of Qili's dream. It does not work in the secret realm, which means that it may be just a part of Qili's dream, or even have nothing to do with it.

Zheng Yun took Ji Dao back to the secret realm and headed towards the fairy gate at the top, intending to go back to the tomb to take another look.

You can tell the truth at a glance.

The two strode through the fairy gate and returned to the tomb. After stepping out of the misty white fog, they looked outside and saw that the place was brightly lit, and the walls in all directions were illuminated by the light of lanterns.

Master Immortal, it's still a lantern.

Jidao frowned and exclaimed, turning his head to look at Zheng Yun beside him, only to see that he was still wearing the official uniform of the Immortal Supervisor.

As expected, Qili's strange dream has another origin. Zheng Yun came to the conclusion after looking at the gods, ghosts and ancients around him.

They are still in a strange dream at this moment.

It shows that Qili’s strange dream has not disappeared.

It also means that the sarcophagus has nothing to do with strange dreams.

In fact, Zheng Yun had some doubts as early as just now, why the source of Qili's strange dream looked like a coffin. This was obviously unreasonable, and he knew something was wrong at a glance.

Because the coffin is so ugly.

Whether it is the black light coffin in Qili's dream or the black fur sarcophagus in reality, they are both so ugly that people dislike it.

Although this reason sounds outrageous, it is actually an objective and crucial clue.

The ancients had an almost paranoid pursuit of the immortal charm of the immortal family. Anything related to immortals must have an immortal flavor.

It represents no belief.

But it is the default traditional habit.

It can be understood as an 'aesthetic trend'. In the Ming Dynasty, the highest level of beauty was the ethereal beauty.

This kind of aesthetic widely exists in the court and among the people, and the Ming Dynasty Haiwei is not immune to the vulgarity, and even goes above and beyond.

All the things they had seen that were related to immortals before were without exception full of immortality, from the immortal cranes in the Heavenly Palace to the cold immortals and jade lanterns in the Immortal Cave.

Those who are not immortal are not worthy of being called immortals.

For example, the Yin Ghost Warriors and Ghost Seal Yin Soldiers are not related to the fairy characters. This has nothing to do with the strength, but all because of the painting style of the underworld.

The usefulness and power of the ghost figurines and ghost seals are obviously much stronger than those arrogant cranes in the Heavenly Palace. The cranes are not immortal arts, let alone any immortal magic.

But the crane is qualified to bear the word fairy.

Because the crane does look like a fairy, this is something that Yin Gui figurines and Guixi can only dream of in this life.

If the Yin Ghost figurine looks more immortal than the Han Immortal, even if it has no level of immortality, it can still have the word Xian in its name.

Therefore, in many cases, the shape of the appliance can be roughly spelled out from the name of the appliance. The one with ghosts and ghosts must be painted in the underworld, and the one with immortals is the fairy spirit.

No one is exempt from vulgarity.

Zheng Yun also called ghost generals one after another, because ghost generals are indeed not from the human world, and they don't look like immortals.

Under this general premise.

Immortal magic cannot be avoided.

No matter how ugly the magic is, you have to find ways to rely on the charm of immortality and do your best to make it have some fairy flavor.

For example, the fairy jade figurines in Weird Dreams are obviously an extremely dangerous mineral. They might have looked strange, but they were carved by the ancients to look like immortals.

Another example is the brush whisk that Ji Dao used in his dream. It may have been just animal fur at first, but it was made into a whisk shape for the sake of elegance, and it is also moving towards the direction of immortality.

This is an instinctive aesthetic. Human beings are born to transform nature because of their preferences. This has been the case since ancient times.

All the ancient buildings left by Haiwei cannot escape this aesthetic. From the stairs to the beams, from the angles of the eaves to the carvings of columns and beams, there is ancient elegance everywhere.

But the sarcophagus is terrifying in the underworld.

If it really can't be changed, then there's nothing wrong with it. It's just the way it is by nature, and no one can change it.

But the key point is that the sarcophagus is simple and simple, with no trace of carvings or patterns at all.

The ancients never thought of carving it.

I didn’t want to make the sarcophagus feel fairy-like.

This is completely unreasonable. Immortal jade figurines will explode when broken, with earth-shattering power, enough to destroy a city. The ancients even dared to carve immortal jade figurines, but they did not dare to carve stone coffins?

Are sarcophagi more dangerous than immortal jade figurines? Will the world be destroyed by just a slight bump? This doesn't make sense logically.

The only explanation is that the sarcophagus is not a fairy magic at all, nor is it a part of Qili's strange dream, but an instrument with an unknown purpose, and the ancients did not even think of carving it.

Since it's not magic.

Then there is no need to move closer to Xianwei.

If it looks like hell, let it be hell. No one cares about it, no one cares about it, so there is no need to waste time on finessing it.

There are other issues here.

Since the sarcophagus has nothing to do with strange dreams, why should it be placed in a tomb deep underground in such a key place?

In addition, what is buried in the sarcophagus?

The vision of this sarcophagus in the strange dream is not small, and it is stored in the core of the facility of gods and ghosts. It is also tied up with heavy iron ropes by the sea guards, which shows that the origin of this sarcophagus is not small.

Not everything is qualified to be sealed by the iron rope on Triton. Once it is on the iron rope, it will be strengthened.

The person inside the sarcophagus must not be simple.

But since this person has an extraordinary status, Triton did not carve or decorate this person's coffin, indicating that this person is most likely an enemy of Triton, and may be similar to the master of the Hades Pavilion.

It's really confusing.

Zheng Yun frowned and sighed softly.

They couldn't guess the origin of the sarcophagus at all. They only knew that the sarcophagus was anything but ordinary and might be related to other means.

The ancient city of Nanze is located at a key location on the Eastern Airlines Road, and the entire city has military households. In this situation, it is impossible for there to be only one magic to control the city. There should be countless ways of gods and ghosts.

They come all the way.

In addition to Qili Weimeng, I also saw many things that were suspected to be related to the methods of gods and ghosts. Perhaps the sarcophagus was another method of gods and ghosts, so it was placed here.

Master Immortal, since the sarcophagus is not the source of strange dreams, let's look around. This tomb is obviously the core of this place, and perhaps the source of strange dreams is nearby.

Ji Dao suggested.

It doesn't matter that the sarcophagus is not the source. This place has been emptied by them and they can search every inch.

Look for it, go up to the high platform and take a look.

Zheng Yun nodded and looked towards the high platform in front of him on the right.

The high platform in the entire tomb is the most conspicuous. It is located high and can see far away, so you can grasp all the conditions in the tomb.

Master Xian, please rest. I will lead the team to find it. Jidao immediately spoke out. He loved treasure hunting the most.

That's fine.

Zheng Yun nodded.

There were also evil things in the tomb, so he still had to order the Yin soldiers to kill them. Wu Xia was distracted and searched everywhere.

Jidao said no more, and immediately led a large number of Yin soldiers and ghost generals to search various parts of the tomb, turning the tomb upside down to see if they could find any more clues.

The exploration continues.

The tomb was brightly lit.

Not long after, Ji Dao discovered that in addition to tentacles and mushrooms, there were traces of other living creatures in the tomb, but at this moment, they were basically killed by Han Xian.

This place is really weird.

It is like a complete ecological circle, with a subtle food chain deep underground. It is somewhat similar to the deep-sea floating boats of the ghostly figurines, and seems to be used to support something.

Maybe he was making offerings to the sarcophagus.

With tentacles that are at least twenty meters long, they can reach some unknown place from the ventilation shaft above their heads.

The tomb chamber is only about ten meters.

In other words, the tentacles can probe ten meters out of the tomb. Perhaps they can explore the silt vacuum area similar to the tunnel through the ventilation shaft and obtain food in those places.

If designed cleverly.

No silt will be poured into this place.

But the tentacles cannot escape from this place. They have no ability to jump and crawl, so they can only survive here for generations.

The thick 'snakes' in the tomb seem to be the shed skin of this tentacled creature, or the empty shell after death, which was transformed into the terrifying appearance of a group of snakes by Qili Weiwei.

The corpses and excrement of the tentacles can support the strange mushrooms, which are likely to provide nutrients to other creatures and eventually pass them to the inside of the sarcophagus.

Could it be that the person in this sarcophagus...

Are they the ‘ancient people’ that the Western expedition team calls them?

The Western expedition team has always believed that the ancient battlefield scene in Qiliguimeng was dreamed by an ancient man who survived to this day, and this statement is indeed very reasonable.

Weird dreams will only steal the dreams of living people, and then infect and scare each other. It will not create something out of nothing.

This is what Zheng Yun experienced personally.

Weird Dreams does have this characteristic.

Where did the strange dream of the ancient battlefield come from?

Weird dreams don't come out of nowhere, so how did the ancient battlefield scenes they experienced before turn into illusions?

The ancient battlefield is related to the auspicious pictures in the mountains. It is definitely not the dream of Ji Dao and Gui Jiang, let alone his own dream.

So whose dream is it?

Who else was around at the time?

Thinking of this, a chill ran through Zheng Yun's scalp, because there was a possibility that when he and Jidao sank into the mud, there was an 'ancient man' hiding beside them.

But none of them discovered where the man was.

No abnormalities were noticed from beginning to end.

That's not right... The Dream of the Ancient Battlefield is obviously special. Its coverage area is much larger than a hundred meters, and it can cover from the corridor on the surface of the collapsed lake to the deepest part.

Zheng Yun didn't know what the scope of influence of Qili Meng was related to, but it was probably a deliberate design by the ancients.

Perhaps it was the sarcophagus in front of me.

The soldiers of Hunumu Camp all carried a rotting wooden coffin with them when they entered this place, and Zheng Yun did not see any single corpse of Hunumu Camp along the way.

All the generals are in wooden coffins.

No body is missing.

The wooden coffin is obviously the key magic weapon in the dream, but it is not necessarily a life-saving magic weapon, but an offensive magic weapon...

It seems that I have been stuck in a cognitive misunderstanding, thinking that getting into the wooden coffin is life-saving. However, life-saving may not be the full ability of the wooden coffin. Maybe the wooden coffin can also spread strange dreams.

The surviving explorers screamed in the wooden coffins. In addition to emboldening themselves, they also shouted for help and other words.

To whom did they call?

Who can hear their screams?

I'm afraid it's because wooden coffins can expand the scope of their dreams. They can cross the limit of a hundred meters, mingle with people a hundred meters away, and coexist in the same dream with other people.

So they kept shouting.

Because other people can really hear it.

The sarcophagus is probably the same. It can expand the scope of influence and spread the dreams of the people in the coffin to farther places.

It makes sense logically.

That strange dream of the ancient battlefield was probably the dream of the man in the coffin, and the man in the coffin was the 'ancient man' who lives to this day.

If you think about it this way, you can basically figure out that it is impossible for Triton to use its own people to build such a mechanism, so the person in the coffin may be a criminal who has achieved immortality.

This man committed heinous crimes.

Even Ling Chi couldn't relieve his hatred.

So Haiwei imprisoned the man here and kept him in a sarcophagus, allowing him to indulge in strange dreams all the time, constantly repeating the scenes in the dream, unable to survive or die.

Incidentally, another thing can be explained.

The perspective of the ancient battlefield is actually very strange. When they first entered the ancient battlefield, they were at the entrance of the cave high in the mountains, peeking at the Ming Dynasty military camp in the distance.

The mountains are also covered with corpses of Ming generals.

They are provoking the Ming army camp in the distance.

This is completely the perspective of the villain. At that time, Zheng Yun was still thinking that this scene was like the perspective of a bandit in the mountains. They committed all kinds of evil in the mountains and were eventually dispatched by the Ming Dynasty to suppress the bandits.

Later we entered the ancient battlefield.

They still appeared in the mountains, very far away from the Ming army camp. They were still seen from a villain's perspective, and they were hit hard by the Ming army camp after taking just a few steps.

To be honest.

Normal people cannot have such a dream.

Who would dream of being killed by the Ming army camp?

Qili's strange dreams will only transform people's most feared nightmares. If you want to dream of the Ming Army Camp, you can only let the enemies of the Ming Army Camp dream, otherwise the Ming Army Camp will not appear.

Then it all makes sense.

The man in the sarcophagus was probably the one who occupied the mountains to provoke the Ming Dynasty. In the end, the Ming Dynasty sent troops and was completely crushed. He experienced the terror of the Ming Dynasty firsthand.

That's why he could have such a real dream, with the flames of war piercing the sky and overwhelming the sky, fully displaying the sense of oppression in the Ming army camp, because he was the real 'victim'.

Got trampled once.

Only then can I remember it so clearly.

And kept dreaming out in strange dreams.

Perhaps the auspicious picture in the mountains was created based on this person. This person came into existence first, and then the auspicious author took action and used subtle means to change this person's dream into a means.

This should be the truth.

The person in the sarcophagus is not an ordinary person. Not just anyone can attract the Ming army to send troops, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops. There are only a handful of such people in history.

At least he is at the level of Prince Gong of Jingzhou.

He has the ability to attain Taoism and live forever, he dares to challenge the Ming army camp in the mountains, and he is even still alive today.

This should be.

Zheng Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the clues have always been around them. Now that they are all gathered and integrated, and they can roughly deduce the truth, everyone will feel a sense of relief.

But this is only part of the truth.

It can only explain the strange dream of the ancient battlefield.

Many questions remain unanswered.

Master Immortal, I have made an important discovery! There is a hole under this sarcophagus, and there is actually a fairy tower sitting in the hole.

Ji Dao's voice suddenly sounded.

Zheng Yun cheered up and looked up. Ji Dao climbed up to the high platform where the sarcophagus was stored and now stood in the middle of the high platform.

Master Immortal, this must be the source of strange dreams! This Immortal Tower is nine meters high, and its whole body is crystal clear and emit a shimmering light. As soon as I came over, I had a splitting headache, and there were many strange phenomena in front of my eyes.

This fairy tower is so beautiful.

Master Immortal, you will know when you come over and take a look.

But Master Immortal, how can we move back to the Heavenly Palace with such a big tower? The Immortal Gate seems to be unable to pass through it!

Ji Dao smiled and shouted loudly, but his movements were shaky, as if he was drunk and in a crazy state.

He was extremely excited.

The heart rate may exceed 200.

Be careful.

Zheng Yun hurriedly walked forward, but the stone in his heart was finally put down, which was more comfortable than reasoning about the truth.

Finally found.

If nothing else, the nine-meter fairy tower mentioned by Jidao is the real source of Qili's strange dream!

Because this is what it tastes like.

How could the majestic immortal arts not have the charm of immortal arts? The name of Qili Guimeng is so elegant, how could the source be different? The ancients must have used all their means to carve it carefully.

There were so many skilled craftsmen in ancient times.

Can't you still create a ray of fairy charm?

There is even a special department under the Supervisory Immortal Department, which is full of master craftsmen with incredible skills.

The contemporary Immortal Supervisor also has this ability. If Zheng Yun obtains any magical means in the future, he can also ask Li Huawan to carve it, and he must carve something fairy-like.

The other thing is size.

Qili Weimeng covers a radius of dozens of miles, how could the size of the source be smaller? Even a nine-meter-high fairy tower may not be enough. Maybe there is a base under the fairy tower.

But Ji Dao needs to be extremely careful.

This kind of treasure must be protected by an agency.
