Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows lightly, glanced at the white tiger spirit, and nodded in agreement.
"Have you ever seen people dressed as Miao people at the foot of the mountain?"
The white tiger spirit asked.
Zhang Fan recalled it carefully and shook his head.
"Then how do you use the black gold key to unlock the secrets of Huangshan Mountain?"
Zhang Fan continued to ask.
"I have researched for so many years and found a location to insert the key, but I am not sure it is this location."
The white tiger spirit replied.
"Where is this location?"
Zhang Fan asked.
The white tiger spirit pointed to the thickest pine tree not far away. The cave he climbed out of was right next to this pine tree.
Zhang Fan followed the direction of the white tiger spirit, cast his gaze over, and asked doubtfully: "When I came here to investigate, I studied this pine tree carefully. It is just an ordinary pine tree, and I didn't find anything strange about it.
"
"At first, I had the same idea as you, but then I discovered a problem. The pine tree has not continued to grow since the girl left. It has not grown at all in 30 years. Do you think it is strange?"
Baihu Jingdao.
Hearing this, Zhang Fan's eyes flickered. Even if the growth rate of this thick pine tree is not obvious, 30 years is enough for it to undergo obvious changes.
"In the center of the pine tree, there is a hole the thickness of an adult woman's little finger. There are many depressions and bulges around the hole, which is very irregular, and it feels a bit like the lock cylinder invented by you humans."
Baihu Jingdao.
Zhang Fan glanced at the white tiger spirit, and then walked in the direction of the thick pine tree. After walking to the thick pine tree, Zhang Fan jumped up and climbed directly to the pine tree. After several searches, Zhang Fan found it.
The hole that the white tiger spirit mentioned.
This hole was indeed as the white tiger spirit said. It was very irregular inside. Zhang Fan carefully observed the volume of the hole. It was almost the size of a black gold key. This hole was probably the secret lock of Huangshan Mountain.
Zhang Fan returned to the white tiger spirit and waved to the white tiger spirit. The white tiger spirit spit out the black gold key in front of Zhang Fan.
At this time, the lip balm was covered with mucus and exuded a slight stench. Zhang Fan couldn't help but frown.
"How many days have you not brushed your teeth?"
Zhang Fan said subconsciously.
"About half a month, I have been practicing in the cave."
The white tiger spirit replied.
Zhang Fan used the mineral water on the side to wash away the mucus and stench on the lip balm, took out the black gold key installed inside the lip balm, went to the hole again, poked the black gold key into vertical strips, and then inserted it
Hollow.
The white tiger spirit is also watching the situation closely.
However, after waiting for four or five minutes, there was nothing unusual about the pine tree or the surrounding area.
Is it possible that it needs to be heated and burned black to be effective?
Such a thought flashed through Zhang Fan's mind.
Zhang Fan no longer hesitated and took the black gold key out of the hole. At this time, irregular textures appeared on the black gold key. At a glance, it really looked like a key.
Zhang Fan came here this time without bringing any fire. He rummaged through the braided man's pocket and found a lighter, lit a bunch of dead tree branches, and burned them. The black gold key turned black and hard little by little, becoming a black gold key.
After the key's hardness reached its peak, Zhang Fan climbed up the pine tree again and inserted the black gold key into the hole.
Zhang Fan inserted the black gold key hastily into it, but it did not completely fit the black gold key into the hole. After Zhang Fan twisted the black gold key a few times, the two completely fit together. Zhang Fan clearly heard a "click" coming from the hole.
One sound.
Before Zhang Fan could react, the thick pine tree under Zhang Fan began to shake, followed closely by the mountain under the pine tree.
The white tiger spirit, who had been lying listlessly watching from a distance, became much more energetic at this moment.
Zhang Fan jumped down from the pine tree and looked at the violently shaking pine tree in front of him.
"Keng..."
At this moment, a sound like the opening of a heavy iron door came from inside the pine tree. A powerful spiritual energy centered on the thick pine tree and spread in all directions. Under the power of this spiritual energy, Zhang Fan
I couldn't help but take a step back, and at the same time, I felt dizzy.
Zhang Fan quickly mobilized the divination in his body to fight against this spiritual energy. After vigorously shaking his head, he stabilized his soul and mind.
"Keng...Keng...Keng..."
The sound of the iron gate opening and closing continued to be heard in the pine trees, and this situation lasted for a full minute.
During this process, Zhang Fan had been watching the thick pine tree vigilantly, fearing that the aura around the pine tree would suddenly strike him like this again.
A minute later, there was no more sound of opening and closing the iron gates in the thick pine trees, and the mountain stopped shaking. For several kilometers in radius, it returned to its previous calmness.
Moreover, neither the pine trees nor the mountain have undergone any changes.
this……
Zhang Fan looked at the pine trees and the ground in front of him, feeling a little confused for a moment.
"What's going on, do you know?"
Zhang Fan asked after returning to the white tiger spirit.
"I don't know..." The white tiger spirit shook his huge head, but he followed closely, "Those sounds just came from the pine trees. The baby is probably in the pine trees. You can
Try breaking open the trunk of the pine tree, you may not be able to find anything."
Zhang Fan glanced at the thick pine tree, and then at the soft black gold key that had lost its heat and turned green again.
"If the secret of Huangshan only needs to be opened once with a key, there is no need to use this thing at all. Just leave a metal key with a fixed shape."
Zhang Fan murmured softly, "I feel that there is more to the secret of Huangshan than this lock."
"It makes sense, it makes sense."
The white tiger spirit said two sentences in succession.
As soon as the white tiger spirit finished speaking, he heard a soft "buzz" sound coming from the thick pine tree. Zhang Fan and the white tiger spirit immediately turned their attention to it.
The next moment, I saw the pine tree turned into debris all over the sky, but the debris did not scatter in mid-air, but gathered together, turning into a gray-brown chain heading towards the Jiulong Waterfall.
Float away.
Zhang Fan and White Tiger Spirit had been staring at the gray-brown chain, and they watched the gray chain plunge into the fifth bend of Jiulong Waterfall.
"kindness?"
Zhang Fan frowned.
Is it possible that the second lock is after the fifth fold?
Zhang Fan had previously explored the stone wall behind the fifth fold. At that time, he did not find anything special, let alone the keyhole-like hole on the trunk of the pine tree.
