Everyone fell silent. After a long moment, Xie Yuchen finally spoke up. "We'll definitely find the entrance, but if the Zhang family's ancient building is filled with Miluotuo, then no one will be able to get in."
"Hey! Not necessarily." Hei Xia Zi suddenly raised his head and said.
Several people looked at Hei Xia Zi, waiting for him to continue speaking. Hei Xia Zi curled the corners of his lips and turned to walk out of the room. About ten minutes later, Hei Xia Zi came back with a basin. Ji Huaichuan looked at the basin in Hei Xia Zi's hand and hesitated for a moment, then put on a mask and covered his nose with his hands. The stuff in the basin smelled strange and unpleasant. Seeing Hei Xia Zi waving, several people came out of the house and walked to the basin.
Xie Yuchen frowned and asked, "What is this?"
Hei Xiazi pulled a piece of jade figurine from his pocket and threw it into the basin, then explained: "Sodium hydroxide is a strong alkali. This thing will melt when it comes into contact with a strong alkali."
Wu Xie clapped his hands and said excitedly, "That means this Miluotuo isn't that invincible after all. This way we can enter the ancient building!"
"Not really," Ji Huaichuan said in a deep voice. "We can't possibly go underwater with enough alkali to destroy the Miluotuo in the underground palace. Even if we destroy the Miluotuo, other defense mechanisms might emerge. The entrance is in the underground palace, so why not figure out how to find it first?"
After saying that, Ji Huaichuan frowned. He could still smell that smell and felt a little drunk. He tugged at Zhang Qiling's sleeve, then said goodbye to everyone and left Wushanju.
After returning home, Ji Huaichuan breathed a sigh of relief, took off his mask, collapsed on the sofa and said, "Oh my God, that smell is too strong, how can you stand it?"
Zhang Qiling took the glass of water and handed it to Ji Huaichuan, then sat on the sofa. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "The taste is not very strong."
"Okay, okay. Oh, by the way, what do you think about what Wuxie and the others said?" Ji Huaichuan moved closer to Zhang Qiling, clenched his fist as a microphone, and looked at him with pretended seriousness.
Zhang Qiling looked at Ji Huaichuan, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, and then he said in agreement: "No."
Ji Huaichuan took the opportunity to put his arm around Zhang Qiling's shoulder, sighed, and said softly, "Baby, people should have a spirit of inquiry. How can you say no? You should say you don't know, and then ask me what I think. Then I can tell you what I think. Don't you want to know what I'm thinking?"
Zhang Qiling turned his head and looked at Ji Huaichuan, thinking carefully for a moment, then nodded and said, "I do."
"Hey, that's right!" Ji Huaichuan got what he wanted, and then began to chatter incessantly, "Actually, if you ask me, the Nine Gates are now obsessed with finding the Ultimate, and most of them don't know that the Ultimate is gone. They still stubbornly believe that the Ultimate is hidden in the Zhang Family Ancient Building, so they are going to great lengths to get in. As for the Zhang Family Ancient Building, it is not a must for us to go there. Now our most important task is to find that old bastard Shen Tingsi, rescue my brother, and avenge that pinch!"
Hearing Ji Huaichuan say this, Zhang Qiling suddenly said: "You said, don't act rashly."
Ji Huaichuan was speechless, then waved his hand and said, "The situation is different now. I said before that we shouldn't act rashly because I couldn't beat him. Now it's different. I've become stronger and I have a way to deal with him. Although I can't kill him completely, I can still seal him away!"
As he spoke, Ji Huaichuan put his hands on his hips and coughed twice, then winked at Zhang Qiling frantically. Zhang Qiling understood and said, "Xiaochuan is awesome."
"Tsk, you're not serious." Ji Huaichuan curled his lips back into the sofa.
…
"That's strange. Why didn't you write down such important information?"
Wu Erbai kept flipping through the notes in his hand, not knowing what he was looking for. Wuxie came over with Jie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi.
“Dongdong——”
"Go in," said Wu Erbai.
Wu Xie pushed the door open and walked in, asking, "Second Uncle, did you know from the beginning that the entrance to the Zhang family's ancient building wasn't in the water?"
"How would I know? I just suddenly remembered it when I heard you guys talking about it." Wu Erbai paused and said casually.
He then threw the notebook onto the table. Xie Yuchen took it and flipped through a few pages before asking, "Second Master, where did this come from? I was wondering why all the valuable information from Third Master's house disappeared. It turns out it's all here with you."
Wu Erbai shook his head. "What nonsense! If you can think of stealing the information, then others can too. I just hid the things ahead of time. Besides, that's our Wu family's territory. What's wrong with me touching my third brother's things?"
Jie Yuchen was speechless, which was indeed reasonable.
Wu Xie then asked, "Second Uncle, where did my Third Uncle's information go?"
Wu Erbai reached out and turned the table beside him. It slid open, revealing a stack of documents. Wu Erbai sighed softly, "It's all here. Nothing's missing."
Hei Xiazi laughed and said, "It's dark under the lamp, Second Master is smart."
Wu Xie watched his desk being pushed away, stunned for a long time before slowly coming to his senses, "Why...is this thing here with me?!"
"It's not important." Wu Erbai waved his hand.
Just as Wuxie was about to argue, Xie Yuchen suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said, "The information is not on the bookshelf, but at home..."
Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, then immediately continued, "The ancient building isn't in the water, but in the mountains! The main part of the Zhang family's ancient building is still in the water, and the lake is connected to the mountain. There are also many man-made passages in the mountain. If these are all defense mechanisms set up by the Zhang family, then there must be something they want to protect, and the most likely thing is the Zhang family's ancient building!"
"You guys, you discovered what you should have discovered." Wu Erbai sighed.
Xie Yuchen was a little puzzled and asked, "Second Master, why do you really not want us to investigate?"
"What's there to investigate? From my grandfather to my father, they've all been searching for this secret. My grandfather died in Biaoziling. Although my father didn't die a violent death, he was buried in an iron coffin to prevent future trouble! Wuxie, going to Qiu Dekao's camp to look for you has violated my principles. I can ignore the Nine Gates, but I have to intervene with you."
Wu Erbai thought of that person and couldn't help but sigh. This might be the fate of the Nine Gates. They had no control over their own destiny since the older generation made the promise.
Hei Xiazi stood up straight, exclaimed, and asked, "Second Master, then why did you pay me to protect Hua Erye?"
"He asked you to do it, right?" Xie Yuchen immediately thought of Li Lianhuan.
Wu Erbai nodded, "The person he cares about most is you."
Xie Yuchen continued, "I know, he also stole the flower pots from my house."
