Chapter 402 12 Catch the Evil Spirit From the Sky
Chapter 402 12. Catching evil spirits from the sky
At the same time as Zheng Yun gave the order, the second team of ghost soldiers had already entered the ship from the deck, moving up along the half-rotten stairs, and slowly moving towards the last human heat source.
The ship's building was severely decomposed.
The wood on the outside of the building turned black and fell off, turning into rectangular gaps of varying lengths. The ghost soldiers climbed up the stairs with searchlights in their hands, and the light even penetrated outside the ship.
It was like a glowing ship.
The beams of light overflowed from the dense holes, shining on the cliffs and mountains, reflecting the dark ancient ship with strange light and shadow.
From Ji Dao's perspective, the movement trajectory of the ghost soldiers can be clearly seen, as if a team of little people shuttled through the ancient ship's ornaments, stepping on the zigzag stairs to go up layer by layer.
The small light spot slowly rose.
Soon it reached the top floor of the ship.
The little ghost soldier wearing a diving suit stepped on the last step of the stairs and was close to the last human heat source.
"Master Xian, what do you say?"
Ji Dao couldn't wait to ask through the intercom. He was at the underground lake site and couldn't see the first-person perspective of the ghost soldiers.
"I haven't seen anything unusual yet."
Zheng Yun was staring at the screen in the command room.
Everyone was watching the first-person perspective of the ghost soldiers and witnessed them climbing up the ship's tower from the deck. When they reached the top of the ship's tower, the heat source on the thermal imaging had completely overlapped.
The heat source was right in front of them.
But it wasn't in the perspective of the ghost soldiers.
The fourth ancient ship's tower was the best preserved among the five ancient ships. Although the building was broken and leaky, the top of the tower had obviously been repaired by Zhou Jiu.
The area was not large.
All four sides were tightly closed.
A lot of debris was piled up.
The ghost soldier had a pile of very strange animal bone products in his left hand. The animal bones were polished and carved and piled into a small bone tower. It looked a bit messy, but it was piled up to one meter and a half or six meters high.
In the right corner were many things that had never been seen before. They might be local specialties of Wuhai Xianzhou. They looked like a kind of stone, emitting a faint green fluorescence under the searchlight.
But these were not the important places.
The strangest thing in the room is:
There are many linens hanging on the beams.
These linens are like bamboo curtains woven by rural people. They have been stored in a humid environment for several years or even more than ten years. They are damp, black, rotten and moldy, and the ends are still dripping.
It looks like an ancient dyeing workshop.
Groups of linens are hung on the beams.
It turns into many obstacles to block the sight of the ghost soldiers.
Under the linens are many porcelain bottles and earthenware jars. People open the bottle mouths and aim at the dripping linens to collect the water.
There are bottles and jars everywhere.
It can be said that the most numerous in this room are porcelain bottles and earthenware jars. There are at least hundreds of them in an area of 30 to 40 square meters, leaving the ghost soldiers with no place to step.
These porcelain bottles should come from ancient ships. The style is that of ancient sea guards. They are wiped very clean. Some are high, some are low, and some are uneven in size. The linen liquid inside is also full and some are empty.
"Isn't this linen the kind I fished out of the well? What are you doing? Collecting the water from this linen?"
Zhang Ergou's eyes widened.
He really didn't expect to see the linen again at this moment in the ship's tower of the Daming Ancient Ship.
This scene was extremely strange. Ji Dao had previously guessed that the linen was Zhou Jiu's shroud. Now it seems that these linens are by no means that simple. There must be something wrong with this thing!
Various speculations immediately emerged.
Cause and effect are vaguely connected.
The linen may be the answer to many questions. What exactly is it? Why did Zhou Jiu hang it? Why did he put it in the well? What is its relationship with Mr. Shan?
"Is the heat source linen?"
Zheng Yun immediately looked at Niya and asked.
Before, he had seen tropical creatures that looked like linen near the ancient city of Nanze. If the linen in the ship's tower was a living thing, Zheng Yun could immediately understand and accept it.
"I'm afraid not. These linens are hung over a large area. If they are living things, the heat source will also be very large."
"The real heat source should be behind these linens. Let the Yin soldiers take two steps forward and pass through these linens to the center of the room. You should be able to see the truth."
Niya took a deep breath and showed Zheng Yun the way.
The scene on the screen made my heart beat faster, and I couldn't help but think of the scenes in Western horror movies, the abandoned hospital and the gauze hanging in the corridor, which was stained with blood and deadly bacteria.
"Go forward."
Zheng Yun gave a decisive order.
The ghost soldier turned into a war correspondent, holding the camera on his chest and striding forward. The strange linen was like a curtain in the eyes of the ghost soldier, and he stretched out his hand to push it aside if he thought it was in the way.
Walked three meters.
Passed through several lines of linen.
The center of the ship building appeared in front of him.
A long and narrow mahogany buckle box appeared, two meters long, high and sixty centimeters wide. The four corners of the buckle box were wrapped with iron sheets, and there were three copper pull rings on the side, corresponding to the three lids.
There were engraved patterns on the iron sheet and the copper pull ring, but they were rusty and black and rotten, and could not be identified.
This is a buckle box.
Although the size is similar to the coffin, there is no pull ring like the coffin, and the iron sheet in the dead corner is also a standard buckle box.
This type of buckle box is also quite common in modern times, especially in rural areas, where every household has this large buckle box to store clothes, bedding or fine rice and flour.
The older the time, the rarer it is.
In ancient times, buckle box wooden beds and other furniture were even part of the betrothal gifts, similar to modern car houses. Before getting married, you must ask a carpenter to make one, otherwise you can't get a wife.
Zheng Yun is very familiar with this buckle box.
Not only are they common in museums and other places, they are also everywhere in the Heavenly Palace, and there are several in almost every wing room and attic.
But this buckle box is different at this moment.
This thing looks like Zhou Jiu found it in an ancient ship, placed among a lot of linen and bottles, and there is a human body heat source inside. Who knows what this buckle box contains.
"Is the person hiding in here?"
Zhang Ergou stared at the buckle box with a surprised face.
"It should be the only possibility."
Nia nodded after comparing the data.
"Where is it hidden?"
Ji Dao asked anxiously. He couldn't see anything. He could only see the searchlight in the hands of the ghost soldiers on the edge of the cliff, swinging through some small holes.
"Pull up the pull ring and see."
Zheng Yun directly ordered the ghost soldiers.
The worst result is to hide a person and use this buckle box as a coffin. They have opened a lot of coffins in the Immortal Supervision Department during this period. What's wrong with opening one more? Can they be afraid of it?
The black-haired stone coffins in the ancient city of Nanze were all opened. Can the coffin made by Zhou Jiu with a buckle box be more dangerous than the black-haired stone coffin?
Click.
The ghost soldiers acted directly.
Surrounding the buckle box, he stretched out his hand to pull the copper ring, and exerted force upwards to open the three lids at the same time.
The main perspective ghost soldier was responsible for filming. As soon as the lid was opened, he aimed the searchlight and camera at the inside.
Wow.
A skinny arm suddenly stretched out, and the nails that had accumulated over the years became sharp claws, and fiercely grabbed the nearest ghost soldier.
"Hide."
Zheng Yun ordered instantly.
The ghost soldier dodged directly, narrowly avoiding the claw, and at the same time pulled the buckle box lid hard, accompanied by a click, and the skinny arm was firmly clamped in the gap.
I have been prepared for this move.
Do you really think you have never opened a coffin?
This mere coffin-opening sneak attack move was something I had learned in the Hades Pavilion, and the one who attacked me at that time was not an ordinary evil creature, but a ghost general who later made countless contributions!
"It's really a living person!"
The little Taoist priest exclaimed.
"This person looks much more powerful than Zhou Jiu, Immortal Master, why don't you let the Taoist master assist him?"
Zhang Ergou spoke quickly.
He was not afraid that the ghost soldiers would be killed by the opponent, but he was afraid that the creature would try to escape, and the ghost soldiers could not stop the opponent at all.
This had nothing to do with the control ability of the immortal master.
The upper limit of the ghost soldiers was there. Although they were part of the means of gods and ghosts, they were the most basic soldiers, and their physical abilities were not much different from those of ordinary people.
Facing the real gods and ghosts and evil things.
The ghost soldiers were unlikely to be the opponent of the opponent.
Even though each ghost soldier carried various means of gods and ghosts, the immortal master even equipped the elite ghost soldiers with pistols, and let the ghost soldiers practice close-range shooting and aiming in the heavenly palace.
But it was still difficult.
Especially when it came to the task of capturing alive.
It was simple not to capture alive, and a suicide attack was enough to kill any evil creature. The key point was to capture alive at this moment.
Using the ghost general as an analogy, a hundred ghost soldiers could not stop a ghost general. If the ghost general had the intention to kill, it would not take long for all the hundred ghost soldiers to die.
"Ji Dao, do it."
Zheng Yun nodded and gave the order decisively.
He naturally knew the danger. If the man in the box ran away, it would be difficult for him and his men to catch up in the huge underground lake, and they would have to waste a lot of time searching.
"Okay."
Ji Dao laughed loudly. At the moment Zheng Yun gave the order, he drew his sword and took a step forward with the long sword in his hand. His feet suddenly hung in the air, and he jumped off the cliff neatly.
"I'm not asking you to go up..."
Zheng Yun saw the scene with his peripheral vision. Ji Dao rushed forward and jumped off the cliff with a smile on his face, as if he was going to commit suicide.
He laughed too comfortably.
It was a bit chilling.
Fortunately, Ji Dao was not possessed by evil spirits. After a moment of free fall, he reached out and grabbed the climbing rope at his waist to slow down his falling speed and headed straight for the fourth ancient ship in the most efficient way.
"Master Xian, the immortal corpse and I can cooperate with each other. If this thing is dangerous, the two Zhenxuanyins will suppress it directly."
Ji Dao continued to move downward with a focused look.
The original words of the Immortal Master just now were "Ji Dao will do it", doesn't that mean he will do it? Even if he is held accountable afterwards, it will be a crime of pretending to be confused at most, and it will definitely not be considered as disobedience.
And the corpse of the immortal is right below.
When the drug was spread before, the corpse of the immortal had been hung above the ancient ship with a rope, and it has not come back until now.
"Ghost General."
Zheng Yun looked at the edge of the cliff.
Ji Dao had already jumped, so there was no point in letting him come back, so he could only send a few more ghost generals to protect Ji Dao.
The only thing to be thankful for was that although Ji Dao was eager to make a contribution, he had not forgotten the basic rules. Although he did not wear a closed diving suit, he still wore a gas mask on his face.
If he did not wear a gas mask.
He would be knocked out by his own drug.
"Immortal Master, there is a change here!"
While the ghost general Ji Dao jumped off the cliff with a sword in hand and headed straight for the ancient ship's ship building in a free fall, Zhang Ergou stared at the screen and saw the abnormal change at the box-locking scene.
Click.
The sound of the box breaking sounded.
Previously, several ghost soldiers used all their strength and added their body weight to press the lid of the box, clamping the skinny arm firmly in the gap, trying to prevent the living people in the box from escaping.
But the skinny arm kept struggling.
It was difficult to push the lid of the box and the ghost soldiers on it away at the same time, but it punched the side of the box one by one, and smashed a huge hole in the side wall of the box.
The box was already old and fragile.
Once the hole appeared, it became even more fragile.
I'm afraid it won't be long before the skinny living man can break the lock box into pieces. As long as he is given a little chance, he will most likely take advantage of the chaos to escape from the control of the Yin soldiers.
"No hurry, we're already here."
Zheng Yun said quietly with calm eyes.
As soon as he finished speaking, a louder and more violent cracking sound sounded in the ears of the Yin soldiers from the main perspective.
Crash.
Large amounts of wood chips fell from overhead.
An equally skinny old man fell from the sky, smashed directly through the roof of the ship building, and suddenly appeared in the screen. Aged wood chips flew everywhere, and linen collapsed one after another.
The picture becomes complex and confusing.
The top floor of the ship was a mess.
However, in the shaking main perspective, the identity of the skinny old man can still be identified. It is the Tiangong Immortal Corpse, standing steadily among the debris in the sky, with the cold light of the long sword threatening all directions.
Followed by.
There was another loud click.
Ji Dao, who had a round figure, smashed through the ceiling and landed firmly not far from the immortal corpse. He looked up before he could stand still, then his face changed slightly, and he immediately looked around the scene.
After seeing the lock box and the Yin soldiers, Ji Dao went straight to the lock box with the long sword in his hand and shouted angrily:
"Eat Dao Master's sword!"
"Okay, okay!"
"Master Dao is majestic!"
The little Taoist priest applauded continuously.
They had been looking at the perspective of the Yin soldiers, watching helplessly as the skinny arm was about to escape, and all the Yin soldiers were in danger, but at this moment, Ji Dao's immortal corpse fell from the sky.
Smash the roof directly and fall into the field.
His words and deeds are all in a noble manner.
It is worthy of being the designated dojo of the Supervisory Immortal Division, the top inheritance place of Taoism. The seniors of Tiangong Dojo are so amazing.
Several of my little Taoist priests came from humble backgrounds and had neither father nor mother. To be able to worship as Crane Boys in the Heavenly Palace Dojo is truly the guidance of the immortals created by heaven and earth. It is the good fortune cultivated by our ancestors for eighteen generations.
"Why is Master Dao so anxious?"
Zhang Ergou looked eagerly and asked in a low voice.
"Because there's someone behind him."
Zheng Yun's face turned slightly dark and he pointed to the top of his head.
Ji Dao's first reaction after landing was to look up, because there were several ghost generals on top, with climbing ropes tied around their waists, facing the ancient ship, with their feet on the cliff, walking as fast as flying on the ground.
But Gui Jiang had not hung up the climbing rope before.
This step of hanging the rope took some time.
Moreover, the berth of the fourth ancient ship is not directly under the cliff. In the end, they need to use their legs to push on the rock wall and let their bodies swing out of the rock wall before they can safely jump into the berth.
This is what Jidao Immortal Corpse does.
So the ghost will be one step behind Ji Dao and the immortal corpse.
This short time difference gave Ji Dao an opportunity to make a contribution by handling the cases alone.
Zheng Yun had nothing to say about this.
The situation was critical just now, so he ordered to cherish the word like gold and strive to support the Yin soldiers as quickly as possible. This gave Ji Dao an opportunity to take action in his own words.
It’s true that Ji Dao can’t be blamed.
Ji Dao has always been this reckless, even when stealing dragon eggs, but he is also measured. If he encounters real trouble, he will stop and wait for evil things to be unable to do anything to him.
"The Supervisor is really powerful."
Nia whispered to herself on the side.
If the Yin soldiers showed no fear of death before and could become the "black material of the contemporary Supervisory Immortal Chief" and were suspected of manipulating living people to die, then the scene before him would be completely different.
Jidao Immortal Corpse is not a Yin soldier.
But there is no hesitation when jumping off a cliff.
The visual impact of that scene was very strong. Seeing the immortal corpse of Ji Dao and the ghost general, wearing ancient official uniforms, descending from the sky to slay demons and demons, Nia seemed to have seen the reappearance of the ancient sea guards.
Ming Haiwei.
He is worthy of being the head of the factory guards.
Haiwei Supervisor Xiansi.
It is worthy of its historical name.
Something happened in the deep-sea floating city before. Nia was thinking hard about it day and night, but she couldn't figure out the reason. She finally understood it after seeing this scene.
Back then, she, Jiasi Aileen and others were at the bottom of a cliff three thousand meters deep, while Zheng Yun and Ji Dao were at the top of the cliff. The distance of three thousand meters could have delayed them for a long time.
But when he detonated his own explosives.
Zheng Yun and others actually appeared immediately.
How did they get down? Do they really dare to jump off a three-thousand-meter cliff? The narrowest part of the cliff is only a dozen meters. Can I use any gliding equipment to rappel?
Now I finally understand.
These guys really dare to jump.
Even if it is not a human jump, other means can be used to carry people to jump. Even the precious and shocking mobile fairy gate dares to throw it directly to the bottom of the cliff.
Facing such an opponent, it's no wonder that he lost so badly in the first place. In fact, he had no chance of winning at all.
