Chapter 1537: Retreat(2/2)
So it is most likely an order from His Highness... But why?
Zhang Han, who had always been confident of winning, suddenly had a bad premonition.
………………
Songhai port, above the mirage.
Tianming and his three men, who had infiltrated in disguise, followed the girl's team and successfully evaded the Yin-Yang puppet patrols along the way and penetrated deep into the area.
As the team arrived at a gate, the three of them were all shocked, knowing that they had reached a key area.
As the gate opened, a dim yellowish red light emerged from it, making it difficult for people to see what was going on inside.
Tianming and the others narrowed their eyes and followed the team in without stopping.
After entering, their eyes adjusted and they immediately looked around to scan the surrounding environment. After seeing everything clearly, the three of them couldn't help but feel sighing and surprised at the same time.
As a whole, this place is a huge hall with an extremely open space. At a glance, neither the end nor the roof can be seen.
Rows of fine red lanterns were hung high up for lighting, making the entire hall even brighter than the outside. The orange-yellow and red lights shone on the interior building, which was made entirely of mahogany, setting off an extremely vivid sense of grandeur.
feeling.
Structurally, the entire hall is criss-crossed, with well-arranged passages and stairs divided into multiple neatly layered areas. Each area is equipped with a varying number of giant standing cabinets, and the cabinets are divided into relatively smaller ones.
There are grids, and there are words written on each grid, which should be the names of the items stored in the grid.
At this time, a large number of boys and girls had entered the hall. Each of them held a wooden board and shuttled from one grid to another, taking out things from them and sending them elsewhere.
It can be vaguely seen that there are work tables placed in some areas in the hall, and some boys and girls are gathered around the tables, seeming to be doing some operations.
After Tianming and the other three came in, they handed over a small box they were carrying, like the people in front of the team, and then received a wooden board with writing on it, and were allowed to move freely.
Maybe there is no permission, but since there are no people watching, they can naturally act as they please.
After the three people received the planks, they met together and walked towards a quiet place with few people, whispering in low voices as they walked.
"There are so many cabinets with words and pictures on them. What are they putting in them?" Tianming looked at the cabinets around him and asked in a low voice.
Shi Lan observed the behavior of the boys and girls and whispered, "It should be medicinal materials."
Shao Yu spoke more directly to Tian Ming, "Can't you smell such a strong smell of medicine?"
Then he explained in detail, "There was intelligence before that the medicinal materials in Songhai City and the surrounding areas were taken over by the empire and shipped to the mirage. They should all be here."
Tianming, who was choked by Shaoyu, couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a few people walking out of the corner in front of him. He coughed quickly and shut up.
Shi Lan Shaoyu also immediately noticed that someone was coming. Qi Qi remained silent, lowered his head and walked past the other party.
It is worth mentioning that Tianming and Shaoyu are still imitating women's walking, and their postures have improved a lot compared to before, and they no longer have the awkwardness that can be seen at a glance - probably because they are used to walking.
After those people walked away, Tianming continued to ask, "So why do you need so many medicinal materials? Are there many patients?"
Shao Yu shrugged and replied, "The specific purpose is still unknown, but it is probably related to the Yin Yang family."
The three of them turned a corner and went up the stairs. Shi Lan made sure there was no one behind and then said:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It is probably provided to Yun Zhongjun to refine the elixir of immortality."
"Elixir of life?" Tianming couldn't help complaining after hearing this answer, "Is there really such a ridiculous thing?"
"I think the Demon God of War and the Fuso Sacred Tree are much more reliable than immortality!"
"Legends about immortality have a long history and are endless." Shao Yu looked at Tianming and said, "The Penglai we mentioned when we saw the 'Immortal Mountain' at the port has something to do with this."
"It is also recorded in "Liezi·Tangwen"."
"There are five fairy mountains in the east of the Bohai Sea. There are trees with pearls and jade on them. If you eat their fruits, you will never grow old or die."
Shi Lan followed up and said, "I have also heard a legend."
"On the battlefields along the southeastern coast, countless lives were lost and injured. One day a bird flew by and dropped the grass in its mouth onto the corpse, and the dead were resurrected."
"Some people say that this bird flew from the fairy mountains overseas."
Tianming couldn't help but complain after hearing this, "Not only does this make you immortal, but you can also bring back the dead!"
"Speaking of which, why are all the immortal mountains located overseas? Are there none that are closer and don't have to go to sea?"
Shao Yu shrugged and replied, "Who can tell? Most of these legends are just based on rumors and have no source or basis. That's what they say anyway."
"Perhaps it is precisely because they are all related to overseas fairy mountains that some people believe it."
"Okay...then what should we do now?" Tianming then asked, "This place looks very complicated, and there seems to be more than one way out. How should we go?"
Shi Lan looked around, pondered for a while and then said, "Let's spread out and look for clues everywhere."
"Clue?" Tianming was confused.
Did he think he had missed a few words?
How can I find clues in this mess?
What clues are you looking for?
Shi Lan didn't explain, but Shao Yu had a look of understanding on his face and patted the confused Tianming on the shoulder, "Let's go, just follow me."
After saying that, Shaoyu quickly climbed up the stairs and headed directly towards the top floor.
Tianming was confused, but he still followed.
Although Shi Lan said to split up, her choice at this time was the same as Shao Yu's, which was to go to the top first.
Chapter completed!
