Chapter 377 17. Questions about the adoptive father’s relics and the Immortal Sect

In the backwater river, the assault boat floats quietly on the water. The tropical rainforest on the left and right is silent. Only the chirping of insects and the slight sound of water spray can be heard intermittently from the depths of the forest.

Zheng Yunjidao stared at the screen.

After realizing that there might be something hidden in the copper lamp, Zheng Yun immediately made a decision and asked the Yin soldiers to pick up the copper lamp and check it out.

The Yin soldiers did as they were told.

One of the Yin soldiers picked up the copper lamp from the ground, and the other Yin soldier came forward and pointed the camera at the copper lamp to ensure that Zheng Yunjidao could see the details of the copper lamp clearly.

Wow.

When the Yin soldiers reached out to grab the copper lamp, a weak 'dust' shook from the surface of the copper lamp, and slowly spread in all directions with the copper lamp as the center.

"continue."

Zheng Yun gave the order cruelly.

This dust is likely to be some kind of fatal means, which may cause the Yin soldiers to instantly destroy this place, but at this moment, there is no way to stop, even if the Yin soldiers are lost, they must see what happens.

Clang.

The Yin soldier raised the copper lamp to observe.

It was clearly shown on the screen that the base of the copper lamp was indeed hollow. As the Yin soldiers moved the lamp, wisps of dust came out from the inside and floated to the Yin soldiers.

Aim the searchlight at the base.

The interior is finally revealed.

I saw a layer of transparent mucus adhering to the inner wall of the copper lamp, filling the entire internal space. There seemed to be some kind of living thing hidden in the depths, curled up at the bottom of the mucus.

"Master Immortal, look here first. Look at what that is. Why does it look like a plastic box to me?"

Jidao interrupted at this moment. The situation of the copper lamp was already very strange, but he discovered something even more incredible. He had to interrupt Zheng Yun and let him look at his side first.

Zheng Yun looked distracted.

Ji Dao pointed to another screen. The perspective of this screen belonged to the first Yin soldier, the one who was ordered by Zheng Yun to lift the camera to see what was above his head.

No one ordered it to let go.

So the camera was always pointed at the dome, focusing on the debris that hung from the ceiling.

Ji Dao pointed to the corner of the screen.

There is a group of things over there that are obviously not ancient objects. They are also hung in the air by ropes, but whether it is material or format, they are obviously not the ancient artifacts left by the ancient sea guards.

The most obvious one is the 'plastic box'. Although it cannot be seen clearly from a distance, the transparent texture and regular square edges make it obvious that it is a plastic product.

"Zoom in and look."

Zheng Yun also noticed something was wrong. He clicked twice on the tablet and pointed the camera at the corner to enlarge the picture.

When the picture is clear.

The two finally saw clearly.

It was really a plastic box, and it was the kind of transparent travel plastic buckle that is usually used to store clothes and food. There was a rubber strip on the lid to keep out moisture...

It’s not just plastic boxes.

There are actually large kettles, oil drums, and glass jars next to them. They are all products of modern society, and they are very new, as if they were left here just a few days ago.

"Master Immortal, someone has been here!"

Ji Dao immediately made a judgment that the styles of these things were very trendy. For example, the large kettle had an identical one in Jianghe Pawn Shop. It was probably no more than five years old.

"..."

Zheng Yun was deeply silent.

At this moment, he felt at a loss as never before, and his entire brain went blank for a moment.

Because he knows those things.

Even Jidao could recognize that the big kettle was the same model from Jianghe Pawn Shop, so how could Zheng Yun not recognize it.

And it’s not just the same model.

They are the stuff of Jianghe Pawn Shop!

Zheng Yun even used the big kettle. When he was looking after the pawn shop, he poured water from the kettle for a long time.

Recalling carefully, my adoptive father collected the kettles from a neighbor a few years ago. He said they came from a military factory and were forged from titanium alloy. The quality was extremely good. I collected four of them for 360.

No one knows whether it is titanium alloy, but the quality of the kettle is indeed very good, and it does not deform at all even when it is pressed by a car.

Later, the handle of one of the kettles was inexplicably broken, and the adoptive father wrapped it several times with black tape. After continuing to use it for a while, it disappeared and another one was replaced.

The kettle on the screen at this moment also has the same black sticky substance on the handle. This cannot be a coincidence. It is the missing big kettle!

One conclusion can be drawn.

These modern things hanging in the depths of the lighthouse were brought by my adoptive father and left here forever.

This is the first time Zheng Yun has found the traces left by his adoptive father in a dangerous place so far. He has seen his adoptive father's footprints and back, as well as the old objects in Jianghe's pawn shop.

This feeling is indescribable.

Those plastic boxes and kettles hung strangely from the ceiling, as if they had just been abandoned by their adoptive father...

A long time has passed since I mistakenly entered the industry to this day. I and Ji Dao have been cautious and groping forward. No one can say that this journey has been bumpy and difficult.

No one cares and no one asks.

They recovered many ghost items and blocked and controlled many dangerous places. But to this day, Zheng Yun doesn't know whether his performance satisfied his adoptive father.

The ghost seal in La Maine Town is recovered.

The villain of Qianxian Dojo is dead.

The cold immortal of the extreme cold glacier was resealed.

There are also the Deep Sea Floating City and the Ancient City of Nanze.

They tried their best to control the dangerous places they encountered, and until now, there have been no mistakes.

The hidden dangers left by his adoptive father in the extremely cold glacier twenty years ago were completely eliminated by himself. The descendants and survivors of the original Western archaeological team became members of the West Factory.

From the beginning to the present, the Immortal Sect has never been discovered, and all the methods of gods and ghosts have not fallen into the hands of Westerners. The Heavenly Palace has continued to develop, and there are more and more people in the Immortal Supervision Department.

Whether it was the tasks left by his adoptive father or the unwiped tail of the previous generation of supervisors, I tried my best to deal with them, and I had done everything I could.

The adoptive father should be satisfied.

The Ming Dynasty has long since perished, the Jianxian Division has declined, and the Haiwei who used to dominate and threaten the world has disappeared without a trace.

He and Ji Dao, at this moment when everything was about to disappear, suddenly took over the important task in a daze. Perhaps no one expected how good they would be at all.

No one expected anything from them.

The requirements will naturally become lower.

The seniors of the Supervisory Immortal Division are all in the sky. When they see the two juniors running around in dangerous places, no matter whether they perform well or make mistakes, they will probably only caress their beards and chuckle.

"Master Immortal, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Zheng Yun was silent, Jidao turned his head and looked away. He saw an expression he had never seen before on Zheng Yun's face. He was immediately startled and asked quickly.

"This kettle was left behind by my father."

Zheng Yun sighed softly and retracted his thoughts. This was not the time to think about this. They hadn't finished this journey yet, so it was too early to think about the merits and demerits of him and Ji Dao.

"ah?"

Ji Dao was stunned for a moment, but the next moment his expression suddenly changed, he smiled and said: "Then what are we afraid of? The evil spirits deep in the lighthouse must have been cleared away!"

"..."

Zheng Yun glanced at Jidao.

He can understand Ji Dao's thoughts. In Ji Dao's eyes, his adoptive father is the previous generation of the Immortal Supervisor. How can there be danger in the place where the previous Superintendent of Supervisors has been?

As soon as the Immortal Supervisor comes out, all the demons and evil spirits within a hundred miles will disperse. If they are any slower, they will be killed to ashes.

It's somewhat unreasonable.

The main theme is blind trust.

But in fact, the situation is the same when the situation is reversed.

If Ji Dao said that his master had entered this place, then Zheng Yun would actually have this idea. How could there be evil things in the places where Taoist Master Tiangong has been?

But the actual situation is hard to say.

The scene before me was obviously abnormal.

Why were the things brought by my adoptive father abandoned here and hung from the ceiling in this way?

Could something have happened?

Zheng Yun didn't believe that his adoptive father would damage this place, because facts proved that his adoptive father did not have any trouble here.

Think carefully about the situation.

On an ordinary afternoon, my adoptive father said that he wanted to go out for a walk and let himself look at the pawn shop. After looking at the pawn shop for at most a day and a half, his adoptive father strolled back to the pawn shop through the back door.

No injuries.

No arms or legs were broken.

Although his adoptive father later became seriously ill and died, at least there were no clues at the time, and it was not certain that it was related to this place.

The adoptive father probably really came here for a walk, lost some daily necessities, and then went back.

In fact, looking back at the previous few times, my adoptive father went to the Extreme Cold Glacier and Qianxian Dojo, and it was really like a "walk". He walked around and looked around, but didn't do anything.

In the Qianxian Dojo, the adoptive father did not kill all the sea monsters, eradicate the pregnant monster tower, or burn down the Qianxian Dojo. He did nothing.

The same goes for extremely cold glaciers.

The adoptive father just went for a walk.

Is it because of weakness? The adoptive father was seriously ill at the time and was unable to handle all these matters?

The possibility is extremely low.

With the foundation of the Jianxian Division and his adoptive father's status as the orthodox successor of the Jianxian Division, it would be really easy for him to destroy the Qianxian Dojo. Not to mention being seriously ill, he could do it even if he was on the verge of death.

As long as the adoptive father is still alive, he can easily kill all the Qianxian Dojo without leaving a single person alive.

This is the confidence brought by Hanxian.

Zheng Yun didn't know how many immortal arts the Jianxian Division had, but any kind of immortal arts was no match for the Qianxian Dojo. People like Zhang Ergou couldn't resist the immortal arts at all.

If the order is reversed, you get the Cold Immortal first and then go to the Qianxian Dojo. You can clear the dojo up and down by blowing your breath.

Therefore, the adoptive father is definitely not powerless.

Is it possible that the adoptive father had already anticipated his death, so he walked around before his death to take one last look at the ruins left by the Ming Dynasty and the prosperous world?

The possibility is relatively high.

As the last orthodox successor of the Immortal Supervisor Division, the adoptive father must also implement the term "Supervisor Immortal Division". Supervising the immortals and gods in the four seas, investigating demons and ghosts in all directions, and patrolling the shipping routes are the duties of the Immortal Supervisor Division.

This is the responsibility of the Immortal Supervisor.

Before his death, his adoptive father inspected all directions for the last time and discovered some hidden dangers along the way, so he wrote them down on the route map and left them as exam questions for himself.

So the adoptive father just strolled around.

Regardless of whether it was the Nanze Lighthouse before or in front of him, his adoptive father still had some intention of inheriting it. He included it in his 'Advanced Mathematics' and wanted to see it for himself.

Moreover, the route maps left by my adoptive father are actually not very difficult. Although there are surprises, the risks are not serious.

Although he complained at the time that his adoptive father sent his son to death, he was almost in danger every time.

But from the perspective of my adoptive father's generation, the Extremely Cold Mountains and the Thousand Immortals Dojo were really not a problem.

Maybe the one in front of me is too.

The adoptive father came around and did nothing, leaving a test question for himself, but the key point is that what is simple in the eyes of the adoptive father may not be simple in front of himself and Ji Dao.

Still have to be careful.

Don't let it get lost here.

There is also a very detailed question, that is, how did the adoptive father come to the ancient city of Nanze?

He just went out for a day and a half, how could he reach the ancient city of Nanze quickly? And it can go back and forth?

It can only be due to the Immortal Sect.

There was at least one boat ticket on the route map for the previous Thousand Immortals Dojo, which proved that the adoptive father went there by boat, and there was no immortal gate near the Pregnant Demon Tower in the entire Qianzhou Strait.

Later, there was a fairy gate located deep in the extreme cold glacier. The adoptive father walked around in a circle for a short time. It was possible that he passed through the red mist fairy gate. There was no other explanation.

But the situation at Nanze Lighthouse is different.

There is indeed a fairy gate deep in the ancient city of Nanze, but that fairy gate is a complete dead end. There is no second way out for the entire Wuhai Xianzhou. We can only come to Nanze first and then enter Wuhai.

How did the adoptive father do it?

It takes one and a half days to get to and from Nanze Lighthouse.

This time is not enough time to take a boat. Even if the adoptive father uses the fairy gate to reach the nearby E-08 and E-06, he will have to cross a sea of ​​fog, and he may not be able to make it in time.

Is there a second fairy gate near Nanze Ancient City? Even this fairy gate is inside the Nanze Lighthouse?

"Master Xian, the Yin soldiers are not dead yet, and nothing unusual has been found. I feel that the problem should not be big."

Ji Dao looked at the screen and said.

The Yin soldiers have been playing with the copper lamp for a while, but they are still alive and kicking, with no signs of death.

Although this scene is a bit strange, it has not shown any murderous intent from the beginning until now. It is probably just a fake, or it happened to be like this by some chance and coincidence.

"Keep looking."

Zheng Yun asked the Yin soldiers to disperse and check.

The direction of their investigation at the moment is what exactly their adoptive father did here. They can start with the types and traces of modern objects to see if there are any clues.

The Yin soldiers swam upward.

Swim towards the pile of modern objects.

The first thing is the plastic box. The Yin soldiers swam under the plastic box and the camera carefully filmed the box.

The same goes for the box. There is nothing in it, only a large amount of weird slime. There is a black thing hidden deep in the box, which is sealed at the bottom by layers of slime.

The mucus is originally colorless, but a large amount of impurities are stuck in the water, making it impossible for them to penetrate the mucus and see deep.

But plastic boxes are also transparent. The camera can bypass the entrance of the box, aim at the rear of the box, and directly see the deepest black items through the transparent plastic.

Zheng Yun asked Yin Bing to do as he was told.

But he saw that the black thing seemed to be the egg of some kind of creature, and it was still squirming slightly after being illuminated by the strong light.

"egg?"

Zheng Yun thought carefully.

It is normal for eggs to appear in the depths of the lighthouse. After all, this is a world of swamp creatures. It is not an outrageous thing for a creature to get in and lay eggs when the lighthouse window is broken.

Then look at something else.

The conclusion is almost the same.

These modern containers are all empty, and a closer look at the ropes that hang them reveals that the ropes are not ropes, but are made of slime that sticks to roofs and items.

Everything seems to be explained.

The scene in front of me was created by some kind of swamp creature. Because of its need to lay eggs, this swamp creature found containers from ancient and modern people and suspended them in the air as its own home.

There is only one key question left.

Is this swamp creature a supernatural creature? Why have all the Yin soldiers entered its lair and played with their eggs, but they have never appeared until now?

"Look everywhere."

Zheng Yun ordered again.

The Yin soldiers walked around the hall and took the initiative to go to the corners, trying to find some kind of creature hiding in the dark.

Under the active seduction of Yin Bing, clues finally appeared on the screen, and there were some strange movements on the ceiling above his head.

There are creatures scurrying around quickly.

A large number of items were hung on the roof, which would be blocked by the searchlight, creating a large number of shadows and blind spots in the field of vision, and the things they were looking for were in the blind spots.
