Brother Chongzi opened the safety of his pistol, while Ma Dali closed his eyes and said with a hint of mockery.
"You are wrong. I will not die! You don't have to wait until the next life. You will see me again in a few hours."
Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "Bug, shoot his heart with your gun!"
The bug was stunned for a moment!
Taoist Zijin said, "Do you think you are really immortal? That's only because your heart is your only weak spot. You are not a human being at all... and you still want to negotiate with us! You are courting death!"
Brother Chongzi turned the muzzle of the gun and pressed it against Ma Dali's chest.
"What about now? I don't believe you're still alive!"
Ma Dali's face changed and gradually turned pale.
"You...how did you figure that out?!"
He asked with some trepidation. His biggest secret was actually seen through by Zhang Fan.
"You are just a bug after all. You like to scare us with all kinds of lies and fear! But you don't know that not everyone is so timid." Zhang Fan said lightly: "I don't know whether you are Ma Dali or Jin Zu Gu. But one thing I know very well, as long as your heart is broken, you will never have a chance to revive... So I advise you to take advantage of your current value in front of us and don't be self-righteous."
Taoist Zijin said softly: "The master has given you a chance! Don't fail to cherish it!"
"Wait until your next life, and then learn how to be a good person."
Brother Chongzi felt a chill down his spine when he heard what Zijin Taoist and Zhang Fan said. He didn't understand what Zhang Fan and Zijin Taoist meant. But he felt that Ma Dali in front of him might be related to something evil. He was afraid that something unexpected would happen, so he decided to kill this person first.
So he immediately reached out and knocked on the classroom door.
At this critical moment, Ma Dali suddenly said: "Don't kill me, I will tell you everything."
As soon as he finished speaking, Taoist Zi Jin rushed forward and pulled up Brother Chongzi who was about to pull the trigger.
There was a bang, and the bullet bounced in the cave and flew deep into the cave. Brother Chongzi had a vicious look in his eyes and glared at Taoist Zi Jin viciously.
"You...why are you stopping me!"
Taoist Zijin glanced at him and sneered disdainfully, "Do you think that no one else understands your idea of eliminating the hidden danger? The master really wants to hear what Ma Dali has to say... As for the conflict between you, what does that have to do with us?"
Ma Dali lay on the ground, breathing heavily.
If Taoist Zi Jin had not stopped Brother Chongzi, Brother Chongzi would definitely have ignored what Zhang Fan said and shot him to death!
This was the first time in all these years that he had been so close to death.
Brother Chongzi stared with his eyes wide open and his teeth were chattering!
But Taoist Zi Jin was not afraid of him at all, and was even a little provocative, which made Brother Chongzi feel his heart tighten and cold sweat broke out on his body.
In the end, he didn't dare to lose his temper and just dropped the bullet obediently!
"Okay... I'll listen to you. Are you satisfied now?"
Brother Chongzi held the gun with the magazine ejected in his left hand and the magazine full of bullets in his right hand, indicating that he had absolutely no intention of resisting.
Taoist Zijin glanced at him calmly and said, "I advise you to be honest. This Ma Dali may reveal a lot of truth! Killing him will not do you any good... After all, you are seeking wealth. With him leading the way, you may be able to earn more!"
Taoist Zi Jin spoke in a somewhat contemptuous tone, which made Brother Chongzi feel itchy and uncomfortable all over, but he also understood that he had to bow his head under the eaves.
Even though he had a gun in his hand, he felt that it could only intimidate humans, and was nothing compared to the other monsters living in this mountain.
Zhang Fan ignored Brother Chongzi, nor did he care what the people behind him were thinking. He walked up to Ma Dali and his eyes stayed on Ma Dali for a few seconds.
This time he saw more clearly the golden worm valley at the heart of Ma Dali, which was retreating under his gaze. This made Ma Dali cover his chest and breathe deeply, subconsciously stepping back.
"You said you were a guide, but from what I understand, there are two ways into the mountain, one of which has been destroyed. You can only go through the same path as us! Let me ask you, how did you restrain that zombie ghost bear?"
Ma Dali let out a long breath: "I have no breath of life, let alone breathing, so I am no different from a pile of bones in front of that brainless zombie! So I can pass through his territory without any danger."
Zhang Fan nodded in realization: "If that's the case, then you must know everything about this area! Let me ask you, when was this mine built, and what is its ultimate purpose! Whose mausoleum are you guarding? I'm eager to know the answers to these questions!"
Ma Dali gritted his teeth and said, "I am not lying to you on purpose. Actually, my memory only dates back to about 70 or 80 years ago! After a period of time, I will change my body, and my memory will disappear! I only remember some anecdotes and records about me being locked in a clay pot and listening to a wizard's narration."
Zhang Fan understood that Ma Dali was just a code name and this body could be replaced at any time, but the price was the loss of the memory of that period.
It can be considered an alternative rebirth, but it is not the soul that controls this body, but the insect.
The bug hiding in the heart of Ma Dali's body was talking to him at this time.
"Tell me, whether you are Ma Dali or Chongzi, I want to know!"
Ma Dali looked up at him, and finally nodded firmly: "This is what happened... A long, long time ago, about a thousand years ago, I only had some scattered memories at that time, and saw many people being escorted here by tens of thousands of cavalry. At the same time, the mountain collapsed, and the mineral vein appeared inside! Later, this matter was reported to the King of the Earth. In the eyes of the emperor, this was an earth-shaking event. Then I was put in a clay pot and sent to the depths of this mountain. And at that time, I got the best flesh and blood nourishment, which made me grow rapidly, and my wisdom gradually revived! I only know that those civilians who were escorted here have been digging at the bottom of the mountain until decades later!"
"Decades?" Zhang Fan frowned: "What happened at that time!"
Ma Dali nodded and said, "They dug out a crystal-clear jade-like corpse, and a red jade gourd that the corpse was holding in his arms!"
"Wait... Red Jade Gourd!" Zhang Fan was quite surprised. He had used the Qi-Observing Technique before and saw the mountain collapse. The entire Wanku Mountain seemed to have experienced a great disaster.
