I took out the bronze dragon sculpture from my arms. At this time, I felt that the key was really heavy. Just because of it, I don’t know how many people have lost their lives, and I don’t know how many families have been destroyed. But is it really worth it?
?
With some helplessness, I pressed the bronze dragon sculpture into the groove on the giant door. What was surprising was that the dragon sculpture started to rotate slowly, faster and faster. For a full minute, it suddenly
However, this transition from extreme movement to extreme stillness is quite uncomfortable.
"Click." With a crisp sound, the dragon eagle was ejected and fell to the ground with a snap.
I quickly picked up the dragon sculpture and found that there was already a slight crack on it. From the crack, a refreshing fragrance came out, a bit like musk, but more refreshing, which made people feel refreshed after smelling it.
Wang Kui and the other three were standing behind me, and when they saw this, they all moved their heads over. However, neither Wang Kui nor Monkey knew what the scent was, but Axue thought about it and said, "This seems to be ambergris."
"Ambergris?" I was surprised. I heard that it is a very precious spice. It is commonly found in the secretions of sperm whales. It is more valuable than gold. It can be used as perfume for a long time. No wonder Ashue would know, after all
Being a woman, I also have the habit of wearing perfume.
But how come there is such a thing in this bronze dragon sculpture? Was there such a spice in that era?
Wang Kui smiled when he heard this and said there was nothing strange about it. It is said that during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, someone discovered this spice and used it to make sachets and hang them in front of the bed, which had a soothing effect. The ancients were ignorant and thought this was
It was formed from the saliva flowing out of the dragon's mouth, so at that time only "nobles" could use it, but with the status of a dragon chaser, it was not difficult to get such a thing.
I suddenly understood, and now I finally understand why those snake beard poisons avoided me. It was probably the effect of this spice. But why can I see a different scene from them when I hold this dragon sculpture?
I can't explain it yet, because it can't be an illusion. If it were an illusion, people wouldn't be able to go in. I can only attribute it to the inscrutable Xuanmen magic of the Dragon Chaser.
"Okay, don't worry about the broken ambergris anymore. Look, it's been so long. Why is there no movement at this door?" Monkey reminded us anxiously on the side. What he cares about most is the treasure inside.
As for this, I was not very anxious. I smiled and said to the monkey that there was no need to rush this matter at all. I guess there is a mechanism in this door, and it will definitely take some time to open it. This is not like the two places we have experienced before, where
The mechanisms are powered by the power of nature, so the speed is faster. But here is different, the entire dragon is carved and highlighted on the rock wall, especially the dragon's head is the most protruding in such a narrow place.
There is no way to install a large machine. The only power we can rely on here is stone. As long as the surrounding environment changes later, this door will probably open.
As soon as I finished speaking, the stone platform under my feet suddenly trembled, and then we saw the upper jaw of the dragon's mouth begin to slowly descend, and at the same time, the bronze door slowly rose upwards.
In an instant, I understood the principle of this mechanism. Just like a seesaw, the upper jaw of the dragon's mouth is a lifting device. Just like a crane, as long as there is a support point, the bronze door can be easily lifted.
Although the principle is simple, it is not easy to do because everything here is carved out as a whole and not assembled, so it is a very arduous task to install such a giant machine.
Soon the dragon's mouth was completely closed, and we were completely shut in. The way back was completely cut off. From now on, we have only one way forward.
Just when we were about to walk through the door, a loud laugh suddenly came from next to us: "Haha, everyone is finally here, please keep us waiting for a while!"
After I finished speaking, several strong lights shone over me, and I only felt the shadow of a person. Before I could figure out what was going on, a figure had already walked to my side, and my head was held up by a hard object. A rough voice sounded.
It sounded in my ears: "Don't move, or I'll kill you."
My heart suddenly sank. I never thought about it or figured out why there were still people here. Where were they hiding just now? Who were they?
My hands were tied behind my back. After the four of us were completely controlled, the light slowly moved over, and only then did we see our situation clearly.
Nearly ten strangers appeared in front of us, headed by a short, thin, middle-aged man in his forties, with disheveled hair, bright eyes, and a fox-like smile that always hung at the corner of his mouth.
When I saw this middle-aged man, I was confused. This face was so familiar. Isn't it the same old man named Zhang Laosi who bought the ghost-head jar at Shangqiu Antique Market in Henan? No, I should call him Zhang now.
Fourth Master.
Standing next to Mr. Zhang was a young man, holding a black Tang sword in his arms. It was Lu Jinghong, the man with the Tang sword, or someone else. The remaining seven or eight people all had fierce looks on their faces and held spray guns in their hands.
, there were even two people holding military submachine guns, obviously they were elite soldiers under Mr. Zhang.
I smiled bitterly. This situation was completely unexpected, but it was reasonable. Fourth Master Zhang is a gun in the hands of the leader of the Seven Stars. It is impossible for him not to know that when we come here, then send Fourth Master Zhang
It was natural to come here, but I didn't expect it would happen in this way at this juncture.
It soon dawned on me that they must have planned it. Maybe they had come in before we got here and lurked here deliberately, waiting for me to open the door before coming out.
I really wanted to slap myself, but actually I should have thought of this a long time ago. I was so nervous along the way that I forgot about it.
Turning to look at Wang Kui, there was no trace of nervousness on the old boy's face. His eyes were looking directly at Mr. Zhang, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Haha, Boss Zhang, why haven't I heard from you along the way? It turns out that you are waiting for us to open the door for you! What a good plan!"
"Hey, Boss Wang, no matter how many calculations I make, I can't compare to you and the guy behind you. Overnight, I, Zhang Asi, turned into a street rat. These days, I've been thinking in my heart, I can't do it no matter what.
If you want to get some interest back, I'm here."
"Hmph, where is the leader of the Seven Stars? Does he trust you to come here alone?"
"You don't have to worry about this. Anyway, my coming is enough. Do you think you can escape from my grasp?"
Wang Kui rolled his eyes. He was the only one among us whose hands were not tied. Maybe it was because of his identity, and Zhang Asi didn't want to embarrass him too much.
"I don't understand, Zhang Asi, what benefits did that old guy give you to make you work so hard for him?"
Zhang Asi's face was calm, not showing a trace of emotion. "What about you? Don't you always think very highly of yourself when you touch Kinmen? Why are you willing to be driven by the King Mouse?"
I was shocked. It turned out that the person behind Wang Kui was someone who touched Kinmen. The legend of touching Captain Jin has been around for a long time. No wonder they were so powerful and could easily kill Mr. Zhang. If they were people who touched Kinmen.
, then it’s not surprising at all.
But how could the old man have a relationship with the people who touch the Golden Gate? It is said that the people in this sect are very mysterious, and in the entire Outer Eight Elements, they are like dragons that never see their beginning or end.
"This is different. We are cooperating. The conditions he offered us are irresistible. Besides..." Wang Kui glanced at me as he spoke, with a smile on his face. "Besides, we will soon become a family.
People, so we will definitely help you with this."
"Hmph, I think you are unwilling to be lonely, right? That time forty years ago, all the Seven Stars of our Thieving Sect were seriously injured, and only one old ghost Chen was left to support the overall situation. The Taosha Sect's
The person has disappeared, and you people who touched Kinmen are not having a good time compared to you, so why bother to take a trip into this muddy water this time? Have you forgotten the lesson learned that time?"
After listening to Zhang Asi's words, a huge wave surged in my heart. I had only heard Chen Xiazi and Asue say "Seven Stars of the Taoist Sect" once before, but I never knew what it was. Now I finally understand,
The so-called "Seven Stars of the Taoist Sect" are actually the "Seven Stars of the Thieving Sect", which are actually the seven sects in this industry. The difference of one word made me puzzled for so long.
After a bit of calculation, the old man belongs to the "Tufuzi" family, He Tao's "Gouzizi" belongs to the same family, Li Dalongtou's "Hunjianglong", Zhang Asi's "Tufuzi", and Wang Kui's family
The "Touching Golden Gate", plus the "Mountain Visitor" and "Taosha Gate", don't they happen to be the Seven Gates?
No, these seven sects are all present, but which sect is the leader of the Seven Stars? From the tone of Zhang Asi and Wang Kui, it seems that he does not belong to any of the seven sects, so what kind of force does he belong to?
?Who can have such energy?
"Haha, that's right. It's because we haven't forgotten that, so we have to come this time, just to find out the old ghost's true intention. But you, Zhang Ahsi, that old man was responsible for that game forty years ago.
It was planned by a ghost. It can be said that your father Zhang Yinzhu was indirectly killed by that old ghost. Do you still want to follow the same path as your father before his death?"
"Huh, different ways do not work together. I, Zhang Asi, know what to do. Let's not talk about it from afar, but just in front of you. All of your people are in my hands. Don't say that I won't give you a chance. Wang
Kui, as long as you agree to cooperate with us, I can make the decision to let you and your people go, what do you think?"
"Impossible. Although I'm not a gentleman, I'm not the kind of person who falls into the wind. I, Wang Kui, have a thin skin. You, Zhang Asi, can be shameless, but I, Wang Kui, still want to be shameless. You're still dead.
