Chapter 161 The Key to the Bronze Door
After eating and drinking, Hei Xia Zi set out on the journey back to the team alone.
When he came, he kidnapped a man named Jie who was "worth a fortune" as a gift. When he left, he also took away a food box full of barbecue and a thermos bucket of mellow fish soup. The ingredients used were also priceless.
These foods were specially made by Zhang Qiling and Zhang Moyu for Fatty and Wuxie.
Zhang Moyu also made some extra and put it into the black jade Qilin bracelet that Zhang Qiling was wearing, intending to take it back for Zhang Benshan to try.
Although living things cannot be placed in the Qilin bracelet, nor can food be stored for a long time, it can still keep food fresh for a short period of time.
Hei Xia Zi, who was returning by the same route, felt that Wu Xie and the others could get a good meal for free just by following the team. In comparison, he had finally completed this trip with great difficulty, and it was a loss to be treated to a meal in the middle of the journey. He felt very unbalanced.
So, he set his eyes on Wuxie and Fatty Wang's food...
When Hei Xiazi sneaked back, the team was resting against a mountain wall half buried in snow and wind.
He immediately noticed Fatty Wang's figure that stood out like a chicken among a group of cranes. He pulled both of them to a corner, then carefully took out a lunch box and a thermos from his backpack.
"Blind man, what took you so long this time? Ning noticed you were missing not long after you left, and also discovered that the person your uncle was pretending to be was missing. Now that group of people are keeping a close eye on me and Fatty."
Wuxie whispered to him about the current situation in the team, which Hei Xia Zi had already anticipated.
"I knew that woman was difficult to deal with, but it's not a big deal. I'll just go and trick her later."
Wuxie saw Fatty Wang take the thing from Hei Xiazi's hand, and then opened it. A very tempting aroma came out. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his mind instantly drifted to the food, but he didn't forget to explain things clearly.
"For some unknown reason, Fourth Grandpa covered for you and told you to go ahead and scout the way to check for danger.
Then Ning stopped asking about you. It seemed like she believed it."
The aroma seems to be barbecue. I am also alone on the snowy mountain. Are the food there so good?
Oh no, he forgot that group of people went up the snow mountain by helicopter...
Wuxie shed tears of envy in his heart, but at this time, the young man did not forget to give them some soup while eating meat. This brother was considered to be a good brother.
"Okay, I understand."
"Here are two grilled fish and fish soup, all given to you by Brother Mo and the others. You two should enjoy yourselves, I'll go check in with them and take a look around."
Hei Xiazi patted the two men's shoulders with a smile, then left with a brisk pace.
Hei Xia Zi would never tell them that in fact, in addition to the two grilled fish, there were also a dozen grilled shrimps and grilled mushrooms in the food box, but he opened them all on the road and couldn't help but eat them secretly.
He was already full when he came out from behind the bronze door, but after the journey, he not only failed to digest the food, but also felt bloated.
Fatty Wang looked at the two grilled fish that were still slightly warm in the lunch box and found that the fish looked a little strange. He had never seen them before and couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh my goodness, these guys are really amazing. Not to mention barbecuing on this snowy mountain, just look at this fish."
Wuxie's way of watching was to just reach out and grab one, then take a bite on the belly of the fish.
"Mmm-mm-mm! Not bad, really delicious!"
The fish was roasted to perfection, and it seemed to be boneless. He felt that he had never eaten such delicious fish before!
"Don't just think about eating it. I mean, this fish looks strange and peculiar. Could it be an endangered species?"
Fatty Wang looked left and right, and finally came to only one conclusion... It smells really good!
Hearing his words, Wuxie paused in eating the fish, looked at the grilled fish in his hand, and then continued eating as if nothing had happened.
"It's okay, Fatty. Think of it this way. Even if it's an endangered species, no one will know we ate it, so there won't be any trouble."
Besides, they didn't kill the fish or grill it, they just tasted it without knowing it.
"Besides, it's already dead, so it would be a waste not to eat it.
If it is truly an endangered species, then this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I doubt I'll ever be able to eat it again. It's important to savor it well to live up to its selfless sacrifice."
Fatty Wang nodded repeatedly when he heard what he said.
As expected of a college student, Wuxie said a lot, and everything he said made so much sense!
At the same time, Zhang Qiling and his team ignored Li Lian's request to enjoy the meal as well, and directly gave him a coma and silence package, and then dealt with Tomie as well, preparing to take her out together.
Because they were worried about hurting Tomie and causing her to spread her own cell tissue everywhere, Zhang Moyu and his team took strict protective measures.
First they knocked Tomie unconscious, then carefully placed her on a waterproof cloth, wrapped her tightly with the cloth, and then wrapped her with a layer of airtight plastic wrap, wasting an entire roll of newly opened plastic wrap.
Then they wrapped her in plastic and stuffed her into a sleeping bag to make sure they didn't accidentally break the protective measures.
There is also a final layer of protection, which is to let Zhang Molan, who has the best skills, carry her on his back, so that even if something unexpected happens, he can react in the shortest time possible.
By the time Wuxie and his group arrived at the bronze gate, Zhang Moyu and his group had already arrived at the place where they had originally come down. They sent a signal to summon the helicopter, and then left in great comfort.
Those who came to the bronze gate can be roughly divided into three groups. Wuxie and his friends are one group, and the other two groups are led by Chenpi Asi and Aning.
Seeing the tightly closed bronze door, Aning took out a black ghost seal from her backpack, but she looked at the door and didn't know what to do next.
She always felt that the development of things this time was a little strange, and it didn't seem like it should be like this.
Hei Xiazi, who was standing next to Wu Xie, smiled silently.
Although he was not a member of the Zhang family, he also knew how to open the door.
The Ghost Seal is not a necessity. The Zhang family seems to be afraid of losing it. No one knows how many they have made. It is estimated that they are found all over the world and are collected by powerful people.
It's like if you don't have a ghost seal in your hand, you would be embarrassed to say that you are pursuing immortality. He has seen four or five of them, and he is sure that they are all the same.
The ghost seal is not important. What is important are the three ghost head rings that can be embedded in the ghost seal. Now all three are in Zhang Qiling's hands.
Not to mention that the time for the ghost soldiers to pass through has long passed, and the concentration of yin energy is not enough to open the door. Even if they can catch up in time, they cannot open the door without the "key".
Aning fiddled with the Ghost Seal for a long time. Looking at the bronze door that hadn't changed at all, his expression gradually became ugly and he turned his gaze to other people.
"Everyone, stop hiding now. Whoever can open the door, come quickly."
Chenpi A Si was already in his twilight years, and by now he was almost at the end of his life. He walked slowly and staggered to the bronze door, put one hand on the bronze door, and the expression on his face seemed to be crying and laughing. Then, as if his wish had been fulfilled, he closed his eyes with relief.
Aning was originally full of expectations, thinking that Chenpi Asi might know how to open the door, so she made way and stood beside him, watching him quietly.
But seeing that he had been maintaining this posture without moving at all, I had a bad feeling in my heart.
Before she could step forward, the guy who was supporting Chenpi Asi was the first to realize that something was wrong.
Wuxie and the others watched the whole process. The little old man, who had been unfriendly to them along the way, became deflated the moment he touched the bronze door.
Without the support of this last breath, he died on the spot.
Seeing that the situation here was completely over, Aning turned her hopeful gaze towards Wuxie, Hei Xiazi and the others.
"Don't look at me, Miss Aning. I'm just an ordinary college student, an ordinary social dog. Don't have any hope for me."
Wuxie took a step back and protected Fatty Wang and Hei Xiazi in front of him.
