Regarding the "sacred realm" and "spiritual tribe" in the wilderness, Zhang Yan's initial and most of his knowledge came from the "Spiritual Matters Miscellaneous Volume" written by the demon sage Yu Wenbing. Later, after getting acquainted with the demon species Bai Yu, I also learned more information from him.
But in the end, it is only "understanding", not "clear and clear".
Zhang Yan even made a careful distinction over the past two years. Even if there is a special case department set up in Nanyuan Kingdom specifically to deal with ghosts, the understanding of ghosts and ghost areas is only superficial and cannot be said to be in-depth at all. And it’s not just Nanyuan Kingdom. Looking at the entire human empire, it is estimated that only the upper kingdoms know more about it. The lower kingdoms such as Nanyuan Kingdom and Beiwu Kingdom don’t know more than a few "Spiritual Matters Miscellaneous Volumes" There's more to it than that.
Zhang Yan also knew about the information about the Dead Silence Road not long ago. Not to mention understanding. So I was quite surprised when I suddenly heard the clues.
"How did the mining area where Dead Silence Road is located have been prosperous for many years? Is there any hidden secret in it?" Zhang Yan controlled the Skylark Shuttle to continue flying south, crossing the northeast of Xiyuan County and entering the area immediately behind it. Nagato County. While asking the questions in his mind.
Wu Kui smiled and said: "It's hard to explain the problem. Many hidden things about the former Qiande Dynasty were not learned after the founding of the Nanyuan Kingdom. Historical materials also did not mention the Qiande Dynasty's methods against the Spiritual Tribe. .
Combined with some other information that has been explored, it is very likely that the Dead Silence Road in Nagato County appeared there shortly before the collapse of the Kantoku Dynasty, that is, after the mineral output began to decrease sharply.
But we don't know the reason why. After all, even the location of the Dead Silence Road has only been grasped by us for a short time. "
Zhang Yan could only nod his head to express understanding when he heard this, and he also agreed with Wu Kui's guess. That is to say, the dead road in Nagato County has not always existed there. But it suddenly appeared at a certain time. Otherwise, how can the place where the Deathly Silence Road is located make life easier for the living?
Since it didn’t exist before, it only came later. Then there will be new possibilities. Was it a new dead road that appeared later, or a dead road that moved from somewhere else?
However, no one will probably give him the answer to this new question that pops up in Zhang Yan's mind. He can only find out by himself in the future depending on fate.
But this also gave Zhang Yan a new idea, that is, the Tao of Death will definitely not be the same as it was in ancient times, but will change. Either it will move, or it will increase or decrease.
The Skylark Shuttle is extremely fast, and it doesn't take much time to cross the two counties. So after a while of chatting, we unknowingly arrived at the location of the dead road in Changmen County that Wu Kui mentioned.
It has the same characteristics as all the dead roads, that is, the closer you get to the center of the dead roads, the more eerie and terrifying it becomes, and is accompanied by some strange and weird landform features that are difficult to see in the ordinary world.
But the coldness in this abandoned mining area called "Snowfield" is not just on the surface. But it slowly came up from the feet. At the same time, coupled with the already desolate and abandoned mining environment, even if few people have come here for hundreds of years, it will still give people a lifeless and lifeless feeling.
"Mr. Zhang, are you going to find a place to lower the Tiangang Pillar first this time?"
"No. The terrain is different here. It needs a change."
The setting of the Twelve Heavenly Gang Formation is not a fixed arrangement and needs to be adjusted accordingly according to the terrain where the Dead Silence Road is located. It is necessary to bring out the power of the formation to the maximum extent, and at the same time, it is necessary to shroud the death silence in the formation to the maximum extent. At the same time, it is also necessary to not disturb the ghosts gathered in the formation before it is opened.
Originally, the best way was to take the underground mine distribution map of this mining area, find and delineate the most suitable location for the formation, and hide yourself at the same time.
Because Zhang Yan could feel from the moment he stepped into this area that this place was different from the other two dead paths he had sealed before. The most intuitive difference is that the entrance and exit of the Dead Path here is not on the surface, but is directly hidden underground, or the opening is opened in the underground mine.
This also means that Zhang Yan needs to drive the Twelve Tiangang Formation deep into the mine, so that the power of the formation can be better utilized and no dead ends or flaws will appear.
But the mining area has been abandoned for hundreds of years, and it is still a legacy of the previous dynasty. Although the Nanyuan Kingdom inherited this place, it is absolutely impossible to retain the mine map of this abandoned mining area. So Zhang Yan didn't ask at all.
"Let's explore the underground location first. It's inconvenient to bring Manager Wu with us this time. Please ask Manager Wu to help Zhang Luzhen here." Zhang Yan took a general look at the terrain of the place, and soon he had some concerns in his mind.
If he brings Wu Kui with him, although he can have an extra helper, it will also hinder his ease of formation. Because if you take Wu Kui with you, you can only walk through abandoned mine tunnels that don't even know where they lead. It is more difficult to find a suitable deep location to place the Tiangang Pillar. And if Zhang Yan acted on his own, he could just ignore the complexity of the mine tunnel and choose to use earth escape to find it directly, which would be faster than a star. And it can also prevent the ghosts gathered at the entrance and exit of the Dead Silence Road from discovering clues.
"This...Mr. Zhang, is there any other way?"
"From what Manager Wu has seen, the terrain of the Deadly Silence Road here is complicated. The Twelve Tiangang Formation needs to adjust its layout, so it is necessary to dive deep into the mine below."
"But this place has been deserted for a long time, and there is no road map for the distribution of relevant mine channels. Sir, do you have any ideas?"
"Yeah. There is a way that doesn't require relying on the mine's lines. But in this case, we can't let Manager Wu go with us."
"Huh? Mr. Zhang doesn't need to worry about me. Just do whatever you want. I'll just help him keep an eye on these Tiangang Pillars." Wu Kui was very curious and knew that Zhang Yan would definitely show some new methods. While expressing that he didn't mind, he also consciously took a good look at the twelve metal Tiangang pillars that had just been removed from the Skylark Shuttle.
Zhang Yan didn't show any concern, but nodded towards Wu Kui, then bowed his hands, put one hand on a Tiangang pillar, and then began to sink into the ground together with the pillar, as if the ground had turned into Quagmire. After only three or two breaths, Zhang Yan and the Tiangang Pillar were no longer visible.
"This..." Wu Kui was once again shocked and speechless by Zhang Yan's methods. I also instantly understood why Zhang Yan said that he couldn't take him with him this time. It is true that sinking into the earth does not require the mine's road map and is faster...but won't people be suffocated to death?
Zhang Yan will naturally not be suffocated to death. He has mastered Tu Dun to the point where he is now. Not only can he travel thousands of miles in an instant, but he can also travel several miles in an instant. But sneaking underground with a huge Tiangang Pillar is not that fast. However, although it is a little troublesome, it does not affect Zhang Yan's purpose.
