Chapter 166 5 Sea Guard Responsibilities
Chapter 166 5. Haiwei's Duties
After sitting in the Cultural Relics Bureau for about 20 minutes, to Zheng Yun's surprise, Xu Yu did not mention the bloody incident in Fu'en City last time, nor did he have any new tasks. He just chatted casually.
He really asked me to come over to sit, drink tea, chat about family matters, and mainly to build relationships and enhance feelings.
Although Zheng Yun had little contact with these things, he was also roughly aware of the doorways and rules here. Jianghe Pawnshop had a special background and should be one of the key focus of the Cultural Relics Bureau. After taking over, he also inherited this.
Attention does not mean supervision and restraint.
The Cultural Relics Bureau and the pawnshop do not conflict. Both parties provide mutual assistance and continue the "tacit understanding" of the previous generation.
This is what Xu Yu wanted to express.
There is even a sense of wanting to help.
It is reasonable to think about it carefully. The Cultural Relics Bureau took over the Ming Dynasty heritage. They took over all the ancient buildings and cultural relics of the Ming Dynasty that could be taken over, and they would inevitably take over a large number of ancient books.
The number is too large to count.
The Immortal Supervisory Department of the Sea Guard of the Ming Dynasty governs matters concerning gods, ghosts, monsters, and immortals. The relevant ancient books should all be stored in the secret heavenly palace and other places, and there is no possibility of leakage. The Cultural Relics Bureau does not have them on hand.
Zheng Yun can be sure of this.
Because the Sea Guard controlled the various local governors in the late Ming Dynasty, and almost formed its own system. Many things were unknown even to the Ming Dynasty, and the officials of the time did not know the three words "Immortal Supervisory Department".
If everyone knew.
What immortals would the Immortal Supervisory Department monitor?
But it is inevitable that some fragments are left, like fragments existing in the corners of some historical records, similar to the evidence of immortal gates in the East found by Kadester.
In this regard.
The Cultural Relics Bureau is similar to the West.
They all need to look for it from history.
The Cultural Relics Bureau must know more than Kadester, but even for them, it may not be easy to find the Immortal Supervisory Department hidden in the depths of the fog of history.
At this point, Zheng Yun believes in the ability of the Immortal Supervisory Department. Even he, as a son, knows nothing about the Immortal Supervisory Department. You can imagine the degree of confidentiality of the Immortal Supervisory Department.
Zheng Yun didn't know what the Cultural Relics Bureau knew and what kind of scary and weird things those fragments wrote about, but there must be some.
Perhaps this is why Xu Yu said these words.
They learned about some extremely dangerous places of gods and ghosts through the ancient books left by the Ming Dynasty, and they also knew that the pawnshop might be the remains of the Sea Guard, so they wanted to provide help or something else?
Maybe that's the case.
In fact, it doesn't matter.
Zheng Yun could sense the goodwill, but he still didn't say a word. At most, he asked the Cultural Relics Bureau to use their connections to help find Jia Si Ai Lin, or ask the Cultural Relics Bureau to provide some assistance when confronting the Western upper class and explorers.
Forget about other things.
This matter is actually quite subtle. Even if the Sea Guard is a faction of its own, every time it appears, it is prefixed with the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty has died.
The Sea Guard is only left with one breath.
But it is a different generation from the Cultural Relics Bureau after all.
Zheng Yun also hopes to get some strong support to solve the problems he encounters, and the Cultural Relics Bureau and the power behind it are definitely powerful.
But this is not something I can decide.
It is not something that can be solved by getting support.
These things are complicated and involve many aspects. They cannot be explained in a few words, nor can they be decided in one or two days or by one or two people.
The framework left by the Ming Haiwei is extremely large. Even if it is only a breath left, it is an unimaginably complex system.
When a behemoth falls, even if it is smashed to pieces, the bones left behind are still scattered all over the route.
There are many black jade gates in the secret realm, and behind each gate may be the same ruins as the Tiangong and Hongying Dusi.
Just the Red Mist Ancient City, judging from the scale, there are at least tens of thousands of people guarding the city, even the Tiangong has Ji Dao guarding it.
They are all descendants of Haiwei.
There is no difference between them and me.
I am not qualified to represent them.
The previous generation of Haiwei, including his adoptive father and Ji Dao's master, never asked for help from above until they died.
Ask for help? Hand it over?
Or wait for takeover?
They didn't choose any of them.
Whether it was due to objective reasons or subjective integrity, the previous generation made such a choice.
I had just taken over the Black Jade Pillow for a short time, and I only had a superficial understanding of everything. Where did I get the right and confidence to make such a fate-determining choice for the entire Sea Guard?
Maybe the Sea Guard just wanted to die standing.
The Sea Guard had completely "forgotten" the Lost Land. As long as the entrance was not opened, the remnants of the Sea Guard would successfully seal themselves and the enemy completely at the end of the starry sky far away from the human world.
The Red Mist Ancient City sealed off the Red Ying Dusi.
Ji Dao was alone guarding the Heavenly Palace.
No matter what the enemies in the Lost Land were, how strange and dangerous they were, they did not pose any threat to the human world, and the human world did not even know about these places.
For the Sea Guard.
They pulled the enemy to seal themselves and completely isolated the gods and ghosts from the human world. This should be the last resort in desperate situations, and it was also the best way, and they did it perfectly enough.
I have lived safely until today, and I have never heard of any gods and ghosts disturbing the human world. Even the sayings of gods, ghosts, immortals and monsters were all defined as feudal superstitions.
The fact that the world is safe to this extent proves that Triton's choice is correct and worthy of respect from the world.
This is a great achievement for all ages.
It must not be changed without authorization.
As long as the Black Jade Pillow and the Secret Realm of the Supervisory Immortal Division are in your hands, the large and small black jade doors will not be opened, similar to the doors in the Immortal Sacrifice Cave, which will not be opened without authorization by outsiders due to greed.
Then this state can be maintained.
And it's not that Zheng Yun despises the Cultural Relics Bureau. In many matters, the Cultural Relics Bureau cannot provide any help at all. They and the Ming Dynasty Haiwei are not at the same level at all.
Not just the Cultural Relics Bureau.
Neither can some small countries.
For example, Jiuzhou Mountain mentioned by Ji Dao.
Zheng Yun is not looking down on those small countries, but in many matters involving the survival of mankind, cultural systems similar to those of the West are already burning incense if they do not hold them back.
In terms of efficiency and ability to deal with this kind of problem, few organizations can match the feudal Ming Dynasty and Haiwei.
I am by no means advocating the feudal system. The Ming Dynasty has perished. Facts have proved that the feudal system is not good either. However, there are some methods that only the feudal Ming Dynasty can do. For example, what is recorded in the Jiu Shanzhou incident: ‘A plague fell from the sky and the whole city was buried and killed. ’
The methods are extremely cruel.
The action was extremely decisive.
The dead were all innocent.
A fleeting word is like countless lives, and a line of words in history is like the despair of countless people.
Zheng Yun also found it difficult to accept.
But we have to admit that in the backward era that just went to sea hundreds of years ago, in the face of the supernatural diseases in Jiushan Continent, if human beings wanted to save themselves, they had to cut off one arm and abandon part of the ethnic group in order to continue.
As humans step out of the earth to explore the stars and start the age of navigation, they will inevitably encounter many life and death crises.
In the evolutionary process of survival of the fittest for billions of years on earth, human beings are the well-deserved winners at the top of the tower.
But the planets along the endless route all have 'winners' who have evolved for billions or even tens of billions of years, existing in various forms on the route.
Who can survive to this day without the ability to find the bottom of the box? Even if it is not at the top of the pyramid, it cannot be underestimated.
A highly poisonous plant throughout the body.
Hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Virus-carrying bats.
Even the virus itself.
There is no shortage of these things on the earth, and they can all easily kill humans. How many are there on the entire endless route?
So much can be understood.
What is the number of things that cannot be understood?
Survival of the fittest, the competition among the winners is the most cruel, and there is no possibility of holding back.
Both sides meet.
It is necessary to distinguish between superior and inferior.
According to Ming Dynasty's consistent style, no matter what kind of 'gods, ghosts, demons' the other party is, as long as it harms someone, they will send people to check it out. The weak ones will be fended off, and the strong ones will be discussed later...
Not just Triton.
The whole Ming Dynasty is the same.
The Lord of the Underworld Pavilion and the Prince of Qi are not sea guards, but they will try their best to use gods, ghosts and immortals. Folk dojos are also studying evil arts, ghost arts and alchemy.
The same goes for the West.
It was the time of the gold rush.
Those Western gold diggers are like a pile of scattered sand, swarming in as soon as there are resources. They don't care about any strange events. A gold mine can attract countless gold diggers.
Such is human nature.
And if you want to develop, you must go overseas.
This kind of conflict is unavoidable. It's okay to encounter a weak one, but if you encounter someone who breaks out of the circle and climbs to the top of the pyramid like humans, the outcome is really bad.
Fortunately, when humans first set out to sea, the Ming Dynasty Navy quickly completed a systematic exploration of the adjacent sections of the endless route, and most of the threats that could be found were resolved.
But there are still too many threats that are difficult to understand or even recognize, leaving Triton with no solution.
Jiu Shanzhou is.
The same goes for Hongwu Ancient City.
Perhaps there are many more, so many that Ming Dynasty was dragged down by force, so many Haiwei that even Ming Dynasty couldn't care about...
As for the crisis related to the survival of mankind, at that time, only the Ming Dynasty, which had a feudal system and mastered the metaphysics of gods and ghosts, could use high efficiency and means to prevent this disaster for mankind.
It should be sealed.
Kill if you have to.
Completely isolated from other people!
Right or wrong is irrelevant for the time being.
If Jiu Shanzhou was reopened and placed in modern society, it would be impossible to use the method of burying and killing people in the whole city.
Those small Western countries will be broken at the first touch. Now you can imagine that freedom and human rights will drag human civilization to death, and even big countries will have to break their muscles and bones and feel headaches.
Just think about it.
There is nothing more to say.
There is absolutely no way Zheng Yun would hand over the black jade pillow to the Cultural Relics Bureau, and it would be impossible for him to even have the slightest idea.
As the well-deserved overlords of human civilization in ancient times, Ming Dynasty and Haiwei have fulfilled their due responsibilities.
At present, all the flight segments that are mainly developed by humans have Triton footprints, and can basically be regarded as safe.
The Ming Dynasty Sea Guards sacrificed countless lives to isolate all kinds of ghosts and ghosts. How could future generations tamper with it?
Zheng Yun doesn’t know much about the Cultural Relics Bureau.
Don't know what they want.
But he understands other people, and Kedester is a living portrayal. His only motivation for exploring the Immortal Sect is greed, and the reason is simply fame and fortune.
If he is allowed to find the Immortal Gate of the Immortal Sacrifice Cave.
He would definitely go and have a look without hesitation.
If he was infected by something in the ancient city of Red Mist, he would most likely choose to hide it like the residents of La Maine Town, pretending to be a normal person and hiding in society...
In short, it is impossible for Zheng Yun to discuss anything with the Cultural Relics Bureau on behalf of Jidao and the Haiwei descendants of Hongwu Ancient City.
The two sides are not equal.
The Cultural Relics Bureau does not have this qualification.
Zheng Yun is also not qualified.
But Zheng Yun is qualified to maintain the status quo. As the current head of the Supervisory Immortal Division, he must maintain this status quo.
If some people want to do something.
Or some people want to disrupt the status quo.
As the head of the Supervisory Immortal Division born under the feudal system, Zheng Yun will definitely not be stingy with feudal means. This is true in La Maine Town, Qianxian Dojo and Immortal Sacrifice Cave.
Even in modern society.
He will never show mercy either.
Ji Dao's impassioned words from the second class are still echoing in his ears: Haiwei protects the common people, guards the peace of the world, monitors the immortals and gods of thousands of seas, and suppresses demons and ghosts in all realms!
The Ming Dynasty is dead, what does it have to do with me, Haiwei?
It really doesn't matter, what it is is what it is.
In practical terms, the duty of the contemporary Supervisor is to guard the gate, and Zheng Yun needs to consider everything carefully.
It is best to continue the tacit understanding of the previous generation. If the Cultural Heritage Bureau can help, Zheng Yun will not hesitate. If it involves other things, Zheng Yun will definitely not accept it.
…
After confirming their responsibilities, Zheng Yun and Xu Yu had a casual chat. The content was of no value. After confirming that Xu Yu was fine, he stood up and said goodbye and planned to leave.
Instead of sitting here.
It is better to go back to Tiangong to look for ancient books.
Xu Yu was very friendly from the beginning to the end. He went downstairs to greet him personally during the two meetings, and his attitude was very friendly. When he heard that Zheng Yun was leaving, he got up and sent Zheng Yun downstairs.
"Senior, there is no need to send it away."
Zheng Yunggong walked out of the Cultural Relics Bureau with his hands in hand.
Xu Yu looked at Zheng Yun's back and sighed silently. With his eyesight, he could certainly see the change in Zheng Yun's mentality during the conversation, and he could even see the indifference hidden in Zheng Yun's eyes.
After this conversation, he not only failed to win Zheng Yun's favor, he even forced Zheng Yun into a certain state, figured out some things, and became clearer in attitude.
‘Exactly the same as Jiang Jianguo. ’
'Everyone is a tough guy. ’
Xu Yu looked at Zheng Yun silently, seeming to see some familiar shadows in a daze, shook his head and sighed.
However, Zheng Yun is still younger, and his behavior is more stable, better than those of his father's generation.
If it were given to Jiang Jianguo's group of people, if one or two words were wrong, they would just slap their butts and leave without giving any good face, so how could they say goodbye politely.
It’s okay if the words are wrong.
If there is a conflict.
That's what makes people feel helpless.
…
Zheng Yun took a taxi back to the pawn shop.
As soon as he returned, he immediately returned to the secret realm and entered the heavenly palace.
It was late at night in the Heavenly Palace. When I walked out of the black jade door on the top of the Immortal Burial Valley, I saw that the primitive mountain forest outside the attic window was completely silent. The two bright moons above my head shed a silvery white soft light, making everything covered with a layer of white frost make it even more... It’s so weird that it’s hard to describe.
Listening carefully, you can see the continuous cries and roars in the mountains and forests. Looking into the distance, you can see that the misty obstacles at the end of the world are not there at all. You can tell at a glance that this is a truly dangerous place.
"Where's Ji Dao?"
Zheng Yun looked at the little Taoist priest beside him. He was holding a small lantern in his hand. The light was extremely dim, only enough to illuminate the path under his feet. He couldn't even see the light beyond ten meters.
This is also a helpless move.
There are too many strange birds near the Tiangong. If the lantern is too bright, it will be a living target. Those strange birds will swoop down and bite you one by one.
"Master Xian, Master Ji hasn't come back yet."
The little Taoist priest pointed to the west of the attic.
Zheng Yun looked up and saw that Ji Dao was really courageous. He didn't dare to go out when he was guarding the Heavenly Palace before, but now he actually dared to stay up all night and spend the night in a dangerous place outside the territory?
This kind of plot is really difficult to write. It took two days to write one chapter, which adds up to more than ten hours. You may not want to read it yet, but you have to write it...
