Crossover Anime: Where Did My Male God Go?

Chapter 34 Zhang Qiling 33

The next moment, the door opened.

The group walked towards the gate, and the few who had been keeping their eyes closed opened them.

This is a very dark corridor.

"This Queen Mother of the West is really different from others. Just now, that room was filled with zircon that could blind people. You could say it's not only beautiful but also deadly. You could call it a kind of performance art. But what she didn't expect was that I, Blackie, was fully equipped and foolproof."

No one paid any attention to the man in black glasses who was talking to himself.

He watched as everyone walked past him one by one.

Black Glasses: "..."

It's really too much that nobody pays attention to me.

Fatty Wang: "This corridor is really long. We've been walking for so long and we still haven't reached the end."

The person in front stopped, and before he could stop, he bumped into Pan Zi's back.

"What's wrong?" the fat man poked his head out to look. "There's nothing there."

Zhang Qiling focused his attention and said, "There's a trap."

Black Glasses pulled out the boomerang he had just picked up and shot it out, but there was no movement in the path ahead.

Looking at the boomerang that had returned to his hand: "Isn't this how it's triggered?"

Xie Yuchen took the boomerang from his hand, took two steps forward, saw a protruding rock on the wall, and inserted the boomerang into it.

The next moment, many arrows flew out from the wall.

Xie Yuchen glanced at the man in black glasses, as if to say, "You still call yourself a seasoned veteran of the underworld."

This really got Black Glasses excited.

The two started arguing.

Wu Xie peeked out from behind, his face filled with envy. They were all members of the Nine Gates, so how could there be such a huge difference between them...

He's lucky he didn't trigger any traps...

Qingyue ignored their bickering and walked over, followed by A Ning and the others.

Zhang Qiling and Xiao Qi quickly followed, with Hei Xiazi bringing up the rear.

As they walked, Zhang Qiling once again reached out to block the crowd.

Fatty Wang couldn't help but complain, "There are traps again! This Queen Mother of the West's Palace is really dangerous!"

"There's a trap on the ground." Zhang Qiling shone his flashlight on the ground.

The group noticed a barely noticeable line lying beneath their feet; if they weren't careful, they would walk right over it.

They took their first steps and walked over.

The end of the path also caught people's attention.

Seeing the crowd stop again, Fatty Wang was too tired to say anything more.

The way here is full of traps and obstacles; without the guidance of the capable people in front, we really wouldn't have made it this far.

Zhang Qiling shone his flashlight on the ground and saw a stone slab with friction marks.

He leaped up and stepped onto it. Arrows flew from the wall again, but he used his agility to quickly weave through the arrows and reach them.

Qingyue smiled and praised, "The young official is very handsome."

Sometimes it is necessary to provide emotional value.

Hearing her praise, Zhang Qiling smiled, "Qingqing is praising me for being handsome... I'm so shy."

He wouldn't have needed to do this if he wasn't worried that Wu Xie and the others might accidentally step on the traps. With their skills, getting through these childish traps would have been a piece of cake.

There's a mechanism at the gate; otherwise, you can't open it.

Qingyue felt exhausted by this point; there were so many traps and obstacles here, and so much to do in such a small place.

Wu Xie kept sweeping the ground with his flashlight, afraid of stepping on the trap he had just encountered.

And indeed, his scan revealed something.

"This iron brick looks out of place next to the other stone bricks."

The group followed his gaze.

"It's just a government agency."

Black Glasses crouched down, reached through a small hole in the iron stone to grab an iron chain, and then pulled it.

The door opens.

The group went inside. Unlike the previous rooms, this one was much larger and more spacious.

The candles inside were lit, and there were steps leading up to the top of the stairs in the very center.

"The Queen Mother of the West really went all out!" Black Glasses exclaimed. "She hollowed out the entire mountain to build this palace."

"The candle is still lit. Is Uncle Three still on the steps and hasn't gone far?" Wu Xie excitedly walked up the steps.

Xie Yuchen glanced at the water bottle on the ground.

He picked up the kettle, under which was a note with only two words: "Wash your hands."

Wu Xie, who had climbed a few steps, immediately ran down: "This is Uncle San's handwriting, let's hurry and catch up!"

"Don't rush, there's something on the murals here."

Black Glasses looked at the murals on the wall, which depicted scenes recorded in ancient times.

This caught Wu Xie's attention, and he picked up a flashlight and shone it over.

"Naive, what does this mean?" Fatty Wang was completely baffled.

Wu Xie simply explained the order of the murals to Fatty Wang.

Black Glasses: "This seems to be a scene of someone coming to pay homage to the Queen Mother of the West. It's interesting. Look, this guest and the Queen Mother of the West are life-size, but everyone else is scaled down."

Xie Yuchen: "The larger the proportion, the higher the status and position. It seems that this person has quite a lot of influence with the Queen Mother of the West."

Wu Xie shone his flashlight on the portrait of the man and said, "This should be King Mu of Zhou."

Xie Yuchen continued: "In mythology, the Queen Mother of the West and King Mu of Zhou were both searching for the elixir of immortality. Historical records also document a love confession between them."

Wang Pangzi and Panzi looked completely bewildered; they had no prior knowledge of these records.

Ah Ning knew some things and had researched a lot of information for this trip to the Queen Mother of the West's Palace.

If she had known that Black Glasses and the others already knew the way, she wouldn't have gone to find Dingzhu Zhuoma, none of what followed would have happened, and she wouldn't be the only one left in her group.

It's a pity that I didn't know earlier.

Now she is alone and powerless, and the power to speak is no longer in her hands. She must lower her profile and rely on them to escort her into the Queen Mother of the West's palace.

Fatty Wang asked, "What did you say?"

"The Queen Mother of the West said, 'We are so far apart, will you come back in the future?' Wu Xie replied, 'When I return to the East and govern the country well, I will come to see you again. The term is three years.' This was King Mu of Zhou's reply, which is recorded in historical records."

"My biggest impression along the way is that the Queen Mother of the West is definitely a ruthless character with a strong sense of territory. Look at this palace, it would be difficult to get here alive without someone to guide you. It is clearly meant to tell the guests here that if they do not obey, they will die without a burial place."

As he spoke, the man in black glasses turned and pointed to the candlestick.

“Look at these lamps, they all have the shapes and styles of the Western Zhou Dynasty. This shows that she was not only polite to King Mu of Zhou, but also accepted the culture he brought.”

Qingyue: "These are all illusions to deceive people. The intersection is not here. It's just that times have changed and the original intersection is long gone. Only this underground palace remains intact and passable, or you can jump down from above to enter."

She was not interested in these historical events concerning the Queen Mother of the West.

Ah Ning asked, "How do you know so much? Have you been here before?"
