Chapter 223: Ancient Snail Girl
The people who were being chased this time were actually brought by Hei Xia Zi.
The purpose is to arouse innocent curiosity.
Once he became curious, he would continue to investigate based on the contents of the wooden box, and Wu Sansheng would occasionally reveal some clues behind the scenes for Wuxie to discover.
Qin Yuchen and Zhang Qiling walked and stopped, and soon they caught up with the black bear who was lagging behind them.
There were three other people following Hei Xia Zi.
The three of them were dressed very similarly to Zhang Qiling, wearing hoods, carrying backpacks and a long bag.
They greeted Qin Yuchen in low voices.
Tan Yuchen raised his chin slightly as a reply.
These are the talents carefully selected by Wu Erbai, in order to choose one to replace Wu Xie to enter the Bronze Gate at this point in time.
These three people were the ones Qin Yuchen had booked when he went to Banai last time and went to the Crescent Hotel alone. He was originally going to choose only one person, but at that time he just glanced at them briefly and did not specify who would go, but asked them all to follow.
As for why the people from Jiumen suddenly kept their promise?
It can be understood as the result of forced intervention by the system and the laws of nature.
Qin Yuchen didn't know how the problem was solved. At that time, 007 just told him that he had done something big and made those who broke their promises pay a heavy price.
007 did not elaborate on how he paid the price, and no rumors were heard in the underworld afterwards.
Now that I think about it, it might be because the heaven intervened, so not a single piece of news came out.
Oh yes, Zhang Qiling must also have the right to know.
So following 007's big event, his mission also followed.
That is to let him take Zhang Qiling to select suitable people to enter the bronze gate.
That happened to be the time to enter the bronze gate.
With the information given by 007, Qin Yuchen successfully found the black bear who was "wandering around" with Zhang Qiling.
Zhang Qiling was very anxious at that time, and even Hei Xia Zi became difficult to talk to.
After learning that Qin Yuchen was looking for them regarding the bronze gate, Qin Yuchen once again saw murderous intent in their eyes.
The three of them were on edge, and Qin Yuchen heard Zhang Qiling speak for the first time:
"How do you know all this? Why do you keep helping me?"
"In ancient times, there was the Snail Girl, and now there is the Snail Boy."
The black bear taunted.
"Are you lighting yourself? Working so hard and getting nothing done?"
Qin Yuchen grinned and treated Zhang Qiling's question as nonsense.
The three of them were in a stalemate, and no one was willing to give in. Just when Qin Yuchen ran out of patience and turned to leave, Zhang Qiling took the initiative and followed him.
Therefore, the person who entered at that time was no longer Zhang Qiling, but talents carefully selected from the Nine Gates.
-
The few of them moved quickly, and soon, the familiar rift and iron chain appeared in everyone's sight.
Without stopping, they quickly fixed the rope and climbed down along it.
When they reached a certain depth and the rope was not long enough, they used the bronze chain beside them to continue going down.
Zhang Qiling reached the end first. He used a flashlight and the faint light to look at the end of the rift, where there was a tall, oppressive bronze door.
"We arrived earlier than expected." Hei Xiazi loosened the chain, patted the dust off his hands, stood beside Zhang Qiling, looked at Qin Yuchen who was one step behind him, and asked,
"So who's going in?"
"It's all right."
Qin Yuchen looked at the three people who had already landed and stood up, and replied casually.
"Don't you take it so seriously now?" Hei Xiazi pretended to be surprised and patted Zhang Qiling on the shoulder.
"Then you choose?" Tan Yuchen tilted his head and shifted his gaze to Hei Xia Zi.
"Such an important task must of course be handed over to Mr. Hei, right?"
After saying that, he winked at Zhang Qiling again.
"Yeah." Zhang Qiling nodded and looked at Hei Xia Zi.
Black Blind Man: "..."
"Such an important matter should of course be left to the person concerned to decide." Hei Xiazi pretended not to understand what the two men meant, walked forward, put his arm around one of them, and led him towards the bronze door.
"Come and decide for yourselves."
He waved his hand, asking the other two to follow:
"Since you all can come, then Master Wujia must have told you the truth, so let's not hesitate, because this is already set in stone and the reality cannot be changed."
"We all understand, Master Hei." The three people who heard this immediately joined in.
"That's fine, so the three of you should make a good decision."
Hei Xia Zi smiled with satisfaction, patted the shoulder of the person he was hugging, let go of his hand and motioned them to go to the other side to discuss.
Fortunately, they were all straightforward people, and the fact that they came here showed that they had made plans, so the three of them didn't spend much time deciding who would go in.
Zhang Qiling took out the Ghost Seal from his bag, stared at it quietly for a while, and then took the Ghost Seal to open the door.
The dull and complicated mechanism moved silently, raising dust and shaking gravel, and the noise created by the door opening resounded throughout the entire rift valley.
The bronze door slowly opened, revealing a dark, bottomless gap.
The man who proposed to go in swallowed and suppressed the panic in his heart, took a deep breath, walked up the stairs step by step with determination, and finally entered the bronze door and disappeared into the darkness.
The bronze door that had just been opened closed again, and Zhang Qiling handed the Ghost Seal to Qin Yuchen.
Qin Yuchen took it, threw it into the space, and asked 007 to keep it well.
"007."
【What's wrong, big guy? 】
Qin Yuchen called out 007. He originally intended to listen to some gossip and let it talk about how tragic the price paid by Zhang Qishan and those people led by Zhang Qishan was.
"fine."
Qin Yuchen shook his head and didn't ask this question.
Although he enjoyed hearing the story of the man who had suffered a loss, there was little point in bringing up the old matter.
After all, the person has been dead for many years, and now there is no one to satirize him.
