"No problem, but you must treat me."

Now the sun has started to rise, and the three of them came to the roadside stall downstairs to order some pasta to eat.

Ding Ning looked at Hua Manlou with a relaxed look, as if what happened just now had nothing to do with him, but it was normal. After all, this guy was just a master who would not worry.

"Today, I am going to visit the antique market. Are the two good brothers interested in walking with me?" asked Taoist Hua.

Miao Shuiqiu waved his hand and said, "I won't go. I want to see someone later."

"Then be careful." Ding Ning reminded.

"OK!"

At seven o'clock in the morning, in the attic somewhere.

Chen Xin has not waited for his own people for a long time. He reasoned that if he successfully completed the task, he should be back now.

It's dawn now and his people have not returned yet, which proves that the mission has failed.

"Bang!!!"

Chen Xin slapped the table suddenly, stood up and shouted, "Now I send someone to follow Ding Ning. If you have the chance, I will inform me immediately. I will take action to solve him personally."

"yes!"

Chen Xin's subordinates immediately went to make arrangements.

At the same time, the largest temple in the capital is crowded with people in front of it, and this is the largest antique market in the capital.

Hua Manlou and Ding Ning were wandering in the antique market, and they were looking at the bottles and jars on the roadside to select them. These were antiques that came from unknown where they came from.

Of course, 80% of the people here are fakes.

"Brother Ding Ning, have you also studied this? I think you read it very carefully." Hua Manlou asked.

"You think too much, and I look at things more based on my feelings."

Ding Ning suddenly stopped as he looked at it, his eyes fell on one of the stalls, with many small antiques on it.

There is also a bronze mirror. Ding Ning picked it up and looked at it. He could see blurred figures on the mirror, and a strange pattern was carved on the back.

"Oh! Brother, you have a good vision. This bronze mirror is something from the Ming Dynasty, and it is an absolute antique." The vendor said in an exaggerated tone.

"Come on, let me see!"

Hua Manlou took the bronze mirror over and looked at it, and said, "Boss, don't fool me, we are all experienced in the battlefield."

"Brother, you're wrong. This is such a good thing. How could I fool you?"

Ding Ning looked at the pattern of the bronze mirror and suddenly fell into deep thought. He met the things he had seen before, comparing the strange pattern with it.

"Lock of immortality."

Ding Ning held the bronze mirror and felt familiar when he saw the patterns. The pattern carved on the bronze mirror is the pattern carved on the Changsheng Lock.

And it is almost the same, except for the different shapes, but the pattern is really strange. It looks like a flower, but it gives people the feeling that it is not a flower.

"Boss, how much do you plan to take action on this?" Ding Ning asked.

"If you sincerely want this, you will take it away by 900,000."

Hearing this price, Ding Ning shook his head and said, "I want this thing nine thousand."

"Brother, your bargaining is too serious, otherwise you can just grab it." The vendor was unhappy.

"I will add another thousand, and I will sell it if I don't sell it, then forget it if I don't." Ding Ning was very decisive.

The boss immediately showed a embarrassed look, waved his hand, and said, "Okay! If you want it, take it away! I will lose the first order today, how can I do business."

"Boss, how much does this thing cost? I want it." Hua Manlou took a fancy to a jade pendant with dragon and phoenix patterns.

"If you want that half a million, take it away."

Upon hearing this, Hua Manlou shouted, "I'm giving you some hard-earned money for the sake of our fellow travelers, but are you calling me here?"

"Brother, who are you?"

"Tsk! Don't mess with me with your tricks. This Taoist priest is proficient. I want a thousand."

The boss was about to cry. He had seen bargaining, but never saw bargaining so fiercely. What's the difference between this and robbery?

But if you meet someone you want, you may not be able to sell it after that.

"Forget it, just take it away if you want it!"

Hua Manlou happily took the jade pendant into his pocket. He was not planning to collect it himself, but was planning to sell it at a high price.

After leaving this stall, Ding Ning's thoughts gradually drifted away. What is the relationship between the pattern of this bronze mirror and the pattern on the Changsheng Lock? Is it a coincidence or something?

"Fatty, come and see this pattern. Have you ever thought of anything?" Ding Ning said with a bronze mirror and facing Hua Manlou with the pattern.

Hua Manlou held his chin and looked at the pattern of the bronze mirror, and said carelessly, "It's really outrageous. I don't know why you kid bought this bronze mirror. This thing is so weird. The patterns carved on it are the other side of the world of life and death. They are flowers that bloom by the Styx River, which are particularly evil."

"The flower of the other side? Think about it carefully, don't you think this pattern is very similar to the pattern on something?" Ding Ning continued to ask.

"Tsk! This Taoist priest knows astronomy and geography. Is there anything I have never seen before?

Don’t…” Hua Manlou suddenly realized something and said seriously, “What do you want to express?”

Ding Ning looked around and said in a deep voice, "The pattern on this bronze mirror is very similar to the pattern on the immortal lock."

Hearing this, Hua Manlou quickly pulled Ding Ning to the alley where there was no one, and took the bronze mirror and looked carefully after taking a closer look.

Two minutes later, Hua Manlou returned the bronze mirror to Ding Ning, and then pulled out a piece of parchment from his cloth package that had been around for many years.

Hua Manlou opened it and saw that the patterns on it were the patterns carved on the bronze mirror.

When Hua Manlou saw it, he immediately threw the bronze mirror out. His eyes were staring like copper bells and muttered, "Wuliang Tianzun, this is an ominous thing. This Taoist priest understands it. It's bad luck, bah bah bah bah!"

Ding Ning was speechless, walked over and picked up the bronze mirror, and said, "What are you doing? This is the clue that can unlock the Lock of Eternal Life."

"This Taoist priest said that this immortal lock is an ominous thing, you can't touch it!" Hua Manlou wiped his hands and then said, "Brother, this is not something to return. You'd better lose it, so as not to get any curse and be doomed."

"Tsk! I don't believe in your Taoist style, I will do whatever I want."

"Boy, please listen to my Taoist priest's advice! Don't touch anything that involves that place. Really, I'm for your own good."
