Chapter 410 20. Landslides and large creatures

Recalling the whole story carefully, the legend of Shan Lao Ye may not be true. The only people who know Shan Lao Ye near the mountain village are the nearby villages and the mountain bandits in the mountain village.

Except for them.

No one knows Shan Lao Ye.

And all those who know the existence of Shan Lao Ye have never seen Shan Lao Ye in person. Even the rumor that Shan Lao Ye eats people is just a rumor that is difficult to verify.

So the authenticity of Shan Lao Ye is questionable.

It is very likely that Zhou Jiu and other mountain village leaders deliberately released the news in order to hide the truth behind the mountain.

At least so far, they have not found any clues related to Shan Lao Ye, and the Taoist temple deep in the underground lake cannot be sure that it is enshrined in Shan Lao Ye.

It can only be said to be confusing.

The two key parties, the commander of the Ghost Suppression Division and Zhou Jiu, could not be questioned, which directly blocked the investigation.

"Put the sackcloth back into the iron coffin."

"Send someone to re-examine the Ghost Suppression and Transportation Envoy."

After making his judgment, Zheng Yun made the most prudent choice, first letting the ghost soldiers send the sackcloth back into the iron coffin, and cover the red meat again, leaving it in its original state.

No matter what the truth is.

There is no need to take risks.

Since the ancient ship's ecology maintained a delicate balance before they arrived, there is no need for them to break the balance, at least before finding out the whole picture, don't act rashly.

And the goal has been achieved.

They have learned about the situation in the iron coffin, seen the whole picture of the red meat, and used a camera to record it in all directions.

The information is already in hand.

The iron coffin can be resealed.

If you want to know all the information about the red meat in the iron coffin, you can gradually do it when Ji Dao returns to the Heavenly Palace to consult the ancient books.

Since the task of the Transportation Envoy is to transport the iron coffin to the secret realm of the Immortal Supervision Division, then they will complete the mission for the Transportation Envoy and send the red meat in the iron coffin to the Heavenly Palace for continued sealing.

This may be a chasm that the transfer agent has never crossed in his life, but for Zheng Yun, Ji Dao and others, it is not a difficult task. The gate of the immortal is only a few hundred meters away from the iron coffin.

Perhaps the transfer agent has been waiting.

Waiting for the Immortal Supervisor to come here again.

And he did wait, although it was hundreds of years late, but he finally waited for the Immortal Supervisor.

"Reseal the iron coffin."

Zheng Yun said to Ji Dao and others.

"Master Immortal, what should we do with these iron coffin red meat? Should we keep them in Wuhai Xianzhou? I think it is better to take them back to the Heavenly Palace and wait for me to study them before making other plans."

"After all, the red meat is a ghost transferred by the Ghost Suppression Department. It is most likely one of the materials for making ghost means. It's just that it has not been refined at the moment, so its ability cannot be seen."

Ji Dao was anxious and spoke quickly.

The things transferred by the Ghost Suppression Department must be treasures. It is definitely not in line with Ji Dao's character to just abandon them.

"Take them back to the Heavenly Palace."

Zheng Yun nodded and spoke.

This was his original plan.

These ancient transport ships are likely to have some connection with the wreckage of the boat master not far away. If this is the case, the ghosts escorted by the transport envoy are unimaginably precious.

"That's good."

Ji Dao grinned.

"But you must be careful and prudent. First, clear the way along the Tiangong to prevent the red meat from contaminating the people in the Tiangong. You must also find a suitable environment for the iron coffin and handle it safely."

"You must be careful when moving the iron coffin. We have a lot of time. We must ensure that there is nothing wrong with the red meat in the iron coffin."

Zheng Yun reminded again.

The ghost soldiers have already sent the linen back into the iron coffin and used the tools they carried with them to spread the linen flat on the red meat.

But there are still many unknowns.

The red meat may suddenly lose control.

"Master Xian, let the ghost soldiers try to lift the coffin first to see how the iron coffin will react and test it step by step." Ji Dao immediately became cautious when he heard this.

Everything should be done in a safe way.

Don't let anything go wrong if you can.

As long as the iron coffin and the red meat are safely brought back to the Heavenly Palace for placement, the exploration of this mountain stronghold will be considered successful, and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. There will be plenty of time to investigate slowly later.

"You retreat, and start."

Zheng Yun nodded and ordered the ghost soldiers.

The ghost soldiers immediately started to work, standing around the iron coffin, and first used the camera to observe the iron coffin without blind spots.

The picture was displayed on the screen.

Everyone in the command room cast their eyes and studied whether there were any abnormalities and mechanisms in the iron coffin.

Zheng Yun even sent the ghost soldiers to circle around the ancient ship channel and get into the cabin directly below the iron coffin to see if there were any other mechanisms designed under the iron coffin.

The answer is yes and no.

There are only a lot of supporting structures in the cabin below to ensure that the entire iron coffin and the red meat will not collapse the hull.

There is no abnormality in addition.

Everything is more reasonable.

"Master Xian, it seems that there is no problem. I feel that this iron coffin is an iron coffin, and the mechanism is inside it."

Zhang Ergou scratched his head and asked tentatively.

"Move it and see."

Zheng Yun made an attempt after confirming that it was safe.

But at this moment, something strange happened.

The command room deep in the mountain village suddenly began to shake, the dilapidated eaves trembled up and down, the old tiles slid off the roof, and the entire blue brick house began to shake from side to side.

The grass and trees outside the window also shook.

The shaking sound of the house was particularly harsh on the rainy night.

Everyone could feel the vibration, as if the entire mountain under them was shaking.

At the moment of the sudden vibration.

Everyone in the command room looked out the window.

The thick, dark rainy night was no longer peaceful. The heavy rain blocked all vision. The heavy rain curtain isolated the firelight from the outside world. Only the ghost soldiers holding torches could be seen not far away.

But the sounds were very chaotic.

The birds in the mountains cried and flew away, and the wild beasts screamed and fled, looming in the shaking of the grass and houses.

All senses pointed to one answer.

The mountain under my feet was really shaking.

"Is this... an earthquake?"

Zhang Ergou's face changed and he looked up.

"It shouldn't be. It seems that there is a landslide in the distance, and a high mountain collapsed, and the vibration was transmitted here."

Nia looked out the window and listened carefully.

In addition to the shaking of the tile house, there was also a faint earth-shaking vision, which came from a very far place, and it seemed that there was a landslide in the distance.

Rumble... Rumble...

The continuous roaring sound.

She couldn't tell the east, south, west and north of this place.

But it can be roughly perceived that the location should be in the mountains on their right, possibly tens or even hundreds of kilometers away, and the volume of the landslide is not small.

"It should be."

Zheng Yun also nodded and came to the same conclusion.

Listening to the rumbling momentum and duration, it should indeed be a landslide, a natural phenomenon, but it is not necessarily "natural" at this moment.

"Ji Dao, is there anything wrong with you?"

Zheng Yun turned his head to look at the surveillance screen.

There was no abnormality in the first-person perspective of the ghost soldiers, the iron coffin and red meat did not move, and the pictures in other places were only slightly shaking, as if this change was just an accident.

At least it has nothing to do with the iron coffin and red meat.

There is no correlation on the screen.

"In the rainy season of Wuhai Xianzhou, it rains for several months. If it is really a landslide, it is reasonable. The excavator dug the mountain before, and a lot of stones fell from the mountain."

Zhang Ergou's tone was a little unconfident.

They were just about to move the iron coffin when this suddenly happened in the distance, shocking and frightening.

To say there is a connection.

It seems a bit outrageous.

How could the iron coffin red meat cause landslides? No matter how powerful it is, it can't have such means.

But to say it doesn't matter.

It also makes people feel uneasy.

What if the iron coffin red meat really has such power, and the previous one was just its warning, then it would be very risky for me and others to move the iron coffin again, and we might be destroyed here at any time.

"Master Xian, something is wrong."

"I always have a bad feeling."

"We'd better do it immediately. If we delay, it may be difficult to move this iron coffin red meat."

Ji Dao spoke seriously in the depths of the ancient ship.

He was on the ancient ship, and he could feel the power of the vibration just now more intuitively. The whole ship was shaking violently on the water, almost shaking them down in the corridor.

This vibration is definitely not ordinary.

It may indicate something ominous.

"Master Dao, what do you mean? Did you read a fortune? Did our Taoist God give us inspiration?"

Zhang Ergou spoke hurriedly on the side.

Ji Dao's tone was too serious and real. They rarely saw Ji Dao in this state. In this case, what Ji Dao said was very crucial and there must be some reason.

As the descendant of Tiangong Daochang, Ji Dao must have some knowledge of divination. Even if he was not proficient, he was at least at the level of a "master" in the outside world.

If he made a divination.

Let's not talk about other things for now. At least Zhang Ergou would believe it unconditionally and do whatever Ji Dao said.

"What a bullshit. I mean that this boat may collapse. If the boat collapses, we have to go down to salvage it."

Ji Dao looked down at his body and spoke to Zhang Ergou and Zheng Yun at a very fast speed. He didn't want to argue with Zhang Ergou.

Until this moment.

The underground lake still had some power.

Ripples were rising on the entire lake.

There were creaking sounds everywhere in the ancient ship, as if the wooden boards in some places were breaking, which might cause the hull of the ancient ship to be shattered on a large scale and eventually cause the sinking of a ship.

These ships are too fragile.

After hundreds of years of erosion, they can no longer withstand any accidents. Any small shock may cause a chain reaction and eventually lead to tragedy.

And landslides are not trivial.

The Wubian Cliff Mountains have a drop of thousands of meters. A small hilltop falling to the bottom of the valley will cause extraordinary shocks.

"Then speed up."

Zheng Yun rubbed his forehead and agreed to speed up.

He also had a bad premonition that this sudden movement might have something to do with the iron coffin.

The specific situation is still unknown at this moment.

But there is another key issue here.

The real murderer who caused at least two boatmen to be disemboweled and horrible must be very large in size. A slight collision can cut the ship in half and completely sink it to the bottom of the water.

And the red meat in the iron coffin.

It may also come from a large creature.

From the texture and outline of the red meat, it is impossible to tell what creature it may come from. In other words, this part of the red meat accounts for a pitifully small proportion of the whole creature.

Just like the meat on the chicken leg.

If a large piece of meat with skin and bones is placed in front of you, you can tell at a glance that it comes from a chicken leg, but even if a piece of meat the size of a fingernail is placed in front of you, it is difficult to tell what it comes from.

So if the red meat is really the body part of a creature, then the size of the creature is likely to be extremely terrifying.

At least larger than the Ming treasure ship.

The length is at least more than 200 meters.

On the endless route, there are not a few marine creatures that are over 200 meters long, and there are many very flexible species among them, but they may not attack humans.

This size of creature can indeed make the ancient sea guards helpless, especially when they are attacked during the voyage. It is difficult for the sea guards to survive the disaster in a hurry.

The scene can be imagined. The two boat masters have no power to fight back, and hundreds of ancient ships are as fragile as white paper.

Then we can make guesses.

Since both of them may be large creatures, and the distance between the two places is not far apart, will there be a connection between them, and the red meat is part of the large creature?

Go one step further.

Such a huge creature.

Is it possible to cause a landslide?

It is really hard to say, because it does not necessarily require huge power to create a landslide. As long as the mountain is on the verge of collapse, a slight vibration will make it slide down.

For humans.

This is a fantasy.

But for creatures that are already huge, perhaps this is not a difficult task at all. Every action of theirs is likely to create a tsunami and landslide that shakes the world.

Similar to an avalanche.

Perhaps at first only a huge rock suddenly fell, but it triggered a series of vibrations, and finally turned into a mountain collapse.

Especially in an environment like Wubian Cliff.

The height difference between the mountains and rivers is too large, and Wuhai Xianzhou never has earthquakes. Each mountain is relatively fragile, and the ability to withstand vibrations is reduced, so the possibility of accidents will only be greater.

It's not that Zheng Yun thinks too much.

But this possibility exists objectively.

If the red meat is really related to large creatures, then this sudden vibration is likely to be caused by the abnormal movement of large creatures, and they are also attacked by such creatures at any time.

No matter how high the possibility is.

They have to be on guard.

In ancient times, tens of thousands of boat masters were powerless to fight back, so how can they, a few people, counterattack?

This thing slaps down.

It can smash an ancient ship.

It can cause landslides at any time.

How should I and others deal with it?

Even if I invite Hanxian, I am afraid that I can't bite such a huge creature in the system, and I can't kill it for a while.

The specific truth cannot be known for the time being, but no matter what, the red meat must be taken back to the Heavenly Palace and sealed.

"I will clear the passage now."

Ji Dao hurriedly ran to the Immortal Gate.

The Immortal Gate is a dead object, not affected by any gods or ghosts. They can directly move the Immortal Gate into the ancient ship, transport the iron coffin red meat back to the Heavenly Palace at a close distance, and end the matter as soon as possible.

"Be more careful."

Zheng Yun tilted his head and looked into the distance.

"The vibration still hasn't stopped."

Nia followed Zheng Yun and tilted her head. In the dark mountains outside the window, the rumbling sound was looming, and it had not stopped until this moment, and even had a momentum of intensifying.

The distance was too far.

They couldn't hear it clearly here.

But the vibration under their feet was very obvious. With the rumbling sound that never stopped, the black tiles on the top of the tiled house fell along the ridge to the blue brick ground.

"Ancestors, what on earth did you do."

Zheng Yun looked into the distance and sighed. If he really guessed right, then this matter would be even more incredible.

What on earth is the ancestor doing?

Do they want to lock down and control even such a huge system of creatures and bring them under the command of the Sea Guard Immortal Supervisory Office?
