Hearing Qin Feng mention this issue, Huangpu Wudi swept his eyes in all directions and said: "Everyone knows the rules. You guys, please go down first!"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"
The old men, who were four to five hundred years old in total, stood up after hearing the words, bowed slightly to Qin Feng and saluted, then filed out and stood guard outside the house.
"Elder Huangpu, doesn't it need to be like this?"
Seeing the cautious look on Huangpu Wudi's face, Qin Feng smiled bitterly and said: "They are all the mainstays of Great Qin. There is no need to carry this kind of thing behind their backs..."
Huangpu Wudi shook his head and said: "My lord, opening the passage between here and the outside world could only be in the hands of the contemporary emperors and kings of Wu. If I know the method, my lord is already worthy of death. I hope my lord
Forgive me!"
"Okay, don't be so quick to forgive your sins. Elder Huangpu, you have done a great job in protecting the royal family's exit. What's the crime?"
Qin Feng was really dumbfounded by Huangpu Wudi's sincerity and fear when it came to royal matters. The emperor was also made by humans, and in Qin Feng's eyes, he was not necessarily any higher than an ordinary citizen.
"Thank you, Lord!" Huangpu Wudi said with a serious face: "Etiquette cannot be abolished. If there are no rules, how can we show the majesty of our royal family?"
"I understand, Elder Huangpu, let's talk about how to open this passage?" Qin Feng waved his hand and brought the topic back.
"How to turn it on, I...I don't know."
Huangpu Wudi shook his head, took out a metal-like object from his arms, and said: "My lord, if you want to enter or leave this passage, you have to rely on this thing. We call it a key..."
"Huh? What is this? A round key?"
There was a puzzled look in Qin Feng's eyes, but he didn't find it particularly strange. Nowadays, electronic locks are commonly used outside, and there are many keys with more strange shapes than this one.
The object that appeared in Huangpu Wudi's hand was round in shape, made entirely of gold, and was about two centimeters thick. It felt a bit like a hand warmer when held in his hand.
There is a notch in the middle of this so-called key, and the back is a translucent glass cover made of crystal, but no matter how Qin Feng looks, he can't see clearly the internal structure of this thing.
"The technology of this thing doesn't seem to be something that can be produced in this space..."
Qin Feng was shocked as he toyed with this object that was only the size of his palm. Judging from the exquisiteness of the fit of each part of the object, it was definitely beyond the reach of the craftsmanship of more than two thousand years ago.
"how to use?"
After observing carefully for a while, Qin Feng raised his head and looked at Huangpu Wudi, his eyes full of confusion. This metal disc is not a key, so how can it open the way to the outside world?
"Insert your finger into this place to activate the key."
Huangpu Wudi pointed to the center of the disk and said: "It will automatically take a drop of your blood. If it is not the purest blood of the royal family, it will not be able to open the channel..."
"Huh? Is this...is this a genetic lock?"
Qin Feng was stunned when he heard this. This method of unlocking is more advanced than the outside world's fingerprint or eye iris scanning. Because it requires analyzing the genetic chain in a short time, the outside world has not yet mastered the technology.
"Gene Lock, is...what is it?"
Hearing Qin Feng's muttering to himself, Huangpu Wudi said with a confused look on his face: "This key was passed down from our ancestors. There are two of them. One is kept in the hands of the contemporary emperor. The other is kept in the hands of King Wu...
But when the prince, that is, your grandfather, left here, the other one was taken out by the prince, and the one taken out now was handed over to me by King Wu..."
According to Huangpu Wudi, this disk-shaped thing that opens the passage is not allowed to be taken out of this space. When trade was conducted in the past, King Wu would open it himself and go outside to bring the things in.
But when the prince escaped, he was chased by masters from the four major clans.
Even after the passage was opened, the two sides were still fighting endlessly, so the prince, who was protected by two old guards and escaped, could only take out the other key that opened the passage.
"Gene locks are the basis of the human body. I can't explain it in a sentence or two." Qin Feng had no intention of explaining the gene locks to Huangpu Wudi. All his attention was returned to the key.
"There are two in total, and the other one was taken out." Looking at the key in his hand, Qin Feng fell into deep thought.
No one has come in from the outside for so many years, which means that the grandfather who escaped back then must have had an accident. Even if he is fine, he probably doesn't have the key anymore.
If Qin Feng takes this key out again, then this space may never be opened, and the people living here will never be able to go out again for generations to come.
"Can I take this key out?" Qin Feng raised his head and looked at Huangpu Wudi.
"It all depends on the Lord's will." Huangpu Wudi looked at Qin Feng and said slowly: "We are just guards protecting the royal family and have no right to interfere with the Lord's decision..."
Obviously, Huangpu Wudi also thought of this. If Qin Feng never returns, then this space will be permanently sealed.
Huangpu Wudi has always insisted on letting people follow Qin Feng out. It is precisely based on this consideration that if Qin Feng really does not intend to come back, then this key will have no meaning to him. Huangpu Qiao and others can use it again
bring back.
"I will take this key out and find the other key as well!"
Qin Feng pondered for a while and then said: "For this outing, let Huangpu Qiao and his son and Qin Dongyuan go out with me, and the rest will stay..."
Qin Feng was such a smart man. He understood Huangpu Wudi's meaning from his expression. Making such an arrangement was equivalent to giving Huangpu Wudi a clear answer.
"Yes, my lord!"
Huangpu Wudi nodded. He could see that Qin Feng was not the kind of cold-hearted and heartless person. After he left, he would definitely not do anything detrimental to this space.
"I really don't know how this kind of key that can open space is made?"
Qin Feng picked up the disk again, observed it in his hand, and unconsciously put the index finger of his right hand into the circular slot in the middle of the disk.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Just after Qin Feng pressed his finger in, he suddenly felt numbness on his fingertips, but his skin was pierced by a needle-like object. With Qin Feng's current cultivation level, he naturally knew that a drop of blood on his body had been pierced by this key.
It was absorbed into it.
"This...how is this possible?"
Qin Feng was shocked, because with his current level of cultivation, let alone acupuncture, even if an ordinary person pointed a dagger at him, he might not be able to penetrate it, but the needle was taken out effortlessly.
A drop of his blood.
"Lord, you...what are you doing?"
Huangpu Wudi also noticed Qin Feng's actions and said repeatedly: "My lord, this key is not for use here. You...you have wasted an opportunity..."
"What's going on?" Qin Feng held the disk and felt that the thing was slowly heating up. As the temperature increased, the disk gradually took on a golden luster.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden light flashed from the crystal shield on the back of the disk. Even though it was daytime, that light made the entire room look magnificent.
"Oh, this...why is this turned on!"
Seeing the flash of light, Huangpu Wudi pounded his feet and chest and said: "My lord, this thing can only be used twice a year. You... you wasted it once..."
"How could it be wasted?" Qin Feng said puzzledly: "At worst, you can summon Huangpu Qiao and the others over now, and we will go out immediately..."
"Lord, this...this place cannot be opened at all. If you want to open the passage, you have to go to a specific place..."
Huangpu Wudi slapped himself hard on the head. He only blamed himself for not explaining clearly just now, which led to the situation in front of him.
"What exactly is going on?"
Qin Feng found that the light in the disc in his hand was getting brighter and brighter. The crystal surface seemed to have an amplifying effect, causing the color of the entire room to turn golden. Even his and Huangpu Wudi's skins were golden.
.
Especially Qin Feng's right hand holding the disc seemed to be illuminated by the golden luster, and the bones and blood were clearly visible, just like a palm made of gold.
At the same time, a sky blue crystal piece appeared in the front card slot of the disk. This was the only other color besides golden yellow that appeared.
Huangpu Wudi let out a long sigh and said, "My lord, put your finger in the middle..."
"OK!"
Qin Feng didn't know what to do at this moment. After all, he had never seen anything like this before. He immediately placed the index finger of his right hand on the crystal piece.
After putting his fingers on it, Qin Feng noticed a flash of red light under his fingers, and then the golden light emitted from the bottom of the disk quickly began to converge, and after a moment it completely disappeared from the disk.
After the golden light subsided, the disc returned to its original appearance. Apart from the fact that it looked like it was made of gold, there was nothing unusual about it anymore.
"Elder Huangpu, next time you have something to say, just say it directly, okay?"
Although Qin Feng has a great responsibility for opening the key just now, Huangpu Wudi is not without fault, because he did not explain before that the key has a limit on the number of times it can be used and a limit on the location. How did Qin Feng know so much?
"It's all the old minister's fault!" Huangpu Wudi knelt down on one knee towards Qin Feng with a look of shame on his face.
"I don't blame you, I was just too impatient."
What Qin Feng couldn't stand the most was seeing these people kneeling. He immediately helped Huangpu Wudi up and said, "This attempt is not useless. At least it shows that I can open the key."
