"I in Manchuria, Heishui River, Jianglin, one belt, high mountains and dense forests, rich in cultural heritage. There is only Mr. Wu who can not think of anything that does not exist," said Liu Tai Xian proudly.
"Haha, indeed so."
"While answering, Wu Jinluan walked forward. As soon as the Taoist priest arrived at the door of the inner hall, he inspected it carefully and ensured that it was safe and sound. Only after that did Wu Jinluan and the others stop in front of the door."
Two vertical door signs stand on the sides of the door.
Top couplet: Nine-fold Gold Pill, vainly seeking the elixir of immortality from an alchemist.
Bottom couplet: Standing in the snow at Cheng Gate, it seems like cultivating talents as good as Jinguo.
"A Taoist priest of XiuMa, with careful words, said, 'The door here cannot be pushed anymore. I don't know if it's the same as the interior structure of the previous door.'"
"Chen Zhen, try again?" Wu Jinlan said to the gentleman who had previously used copper wire to open the door.
The gentleman nodded his head and moved forward, taking out copper wire and using the method as if he was cooking, he shot it into the door crack.
After a moment, he pulled his hand upwards with force, and his index finger immediately deformed. Because of the strength, the copper wire was almost cutting through the flesh and blood.
"Ugh... it's so heavy... This door mechanism, it seems like it needs to be passed through, and can't be opened by lifting it up..." Chen Zhen just answered.
Wu Jinluan's face suddenly changed color and shouted: "Get out of the way! Quickly!"
Chen Zhen's reaction was swift, and he was about to sidestep out of the way.
However, in the next second, his body suddenly lost its control and he fell heavily behind him!
His eyes were wide open, filled with confusion, disbelief, and a hint of reluctance...
"Chen Zhen!" Wu Jinlan was greatly startled, and quickly went to support and prop him up.
Just then, Chen Zhen was already unconscious...
It could be seen that a needle was sticking out from the right forehead of the person, which was as thin and slender as a embroidery needle. The needle tip was only as long as one knuckle, while the rest of the part was completely inserted into Chen Zhen's head.
The needle should have pierced the center of his forehead right above the eyebrows. It was a matter of shifting position, yes, but it wasn't evaded in time...
Just a moment ago, everyone was excited and full of curiosity.
Because here was very safe, and there was no dangerous situation. It was also Wu Jinluan's judgment of the Yang residence. In the Yang residence, there would be no traps...
The death of Chen Zhen seemed to be a series of resounding slaps across Wu Jinluan's face.
"How could this be... It's actually a mechanism? An evil residence? That shouldn't be. North-South orientation is not an evil residence, and if an evil residence is changed to a north-South orientation, it can only be controlled by very strong evil spirits. There should be no such heavy evil aura here, and even turning the needle hasn't appeared..." He Lin'an appeared confused and hesitant, as did the other gentlemen.
Besides these emotions, they were more sad.
However, the sadness did not affect their actions.
As He Lin'an said, Wu Jinluan had also emphasized that "hearing the truth in the morning and dying in the evening is enough."
If one dies at the hands of others, they will surely exact vengeance on their enemies, even if it means losing their own life. However, if one dies in a Fengshui location, it can only be attributed to the fate being insufficient.
"The tomb is good, the tomb is good!" Liu Tai Xuan nodded repeatedly: "In a tomb, there won't be any issue with moving the body, will there?"
They all don't understand Feng Shui, but Wu Jinluan's previous explanation was very clear and made them all understand some things.
"I see a lot of depressions on the ground!" Liang Yue exclaimed in surprise and astonishment.
Regarding Chen Zhen's death, Tiecha Mountain showed no reaction, not even putting on a show.
Wu Jinluan slowly laid down Chen Zhen's corpse, taking deep breaths to calm his emotions. He looked at the direction that Liang Yue was staring at, and his eyes, full of bloodstains, carried a touch of severity.
I also looked at that spot. The ground indeed has many pits, not circular, but long and narrow, with the deepest part at the front and slightly shallower towards the back.
There are many pits, some deep and some shallow, some long and some short, with no standard pattern. Apart from the pits themselves, there is no discernible regularity at all.
"I didn't see Chen Zhen's death scene, which is very strange," Wu Jinluan said in a hoarse voice.
"This means he could have died without being killed, but he still died. This destiny, which changes in an instant, should not be like this."
"This pit... it resembles..."
The last sentence Wu Jinluan did not finish. After laying down Chen Zhen's corpse, he stood up and walked to a pit in front of it.
In the next moment, Wu Jinluan fell to his knees.
The pit he knelt in was almost perfectly matched to his knees and lower legs.
"The traces left by kneeling?" He Lin'an's fingers touched his chin, his eyebrows knitted tightly, looking at the position where we came in, and suddenly said: "An unlocked door is because it is meant to be opened for people to enter and exit freely?"
"Once you can pass through one door, you can't pass through two. The first door will test a person's temperament, which should be the criteria that the alchemist used to choose or reject his disciples." Wu Jinluan responded in a hoarse voice.
"It seems that there are quite a few people willing to kneel here, and the stone has been worn down with grooves." Zhang Zhiyi nodded, his eyes filled with praise.
"This is of no great significance. Let's go in first. It seems that Mr. Wu cannot open this door, so follow my orders, Xifeng Daoist to dig a hole, and then open this door." Liu Tai Xian gave a decisive order.
Wu Jinluan appeared very somber, without speaking up.
The other gentlemen gently pulled Chen Zhen's body back a bit, ensuring it did not obstruct the way.
"Restrain your sorrow." I sighed softly.
"It's my fault. I was too obsessed with surface judgments and failed to consider that the other party might go against the conventional wisdom. Rules are made to be broken, after all." Wu Jinluan's voice was even more hoarse.
He extended his right hand, pinched the needle, and pulled it out with force.
There was a faint hiss, the sound of the needle scraping against the bone.
I know that now is not the time to try to convince him, as Wu Jinluan's actions are not affected by the loss. There is no need for me to force him to pretend that everything is normal.
The needle is longer than I imagined.
A normal needle is about the length of one finger, but this needle is over a handspan long...
No wonder Chen Zhen died instantly. If a normal needle were to penetrate the brain, even if the person was affected, they would not die immediately.
The needle was so long that it almost completely penetrated the entire brain.
During Wu Jinluan's action, several Taoist priests of XiuMa had already obeyed orders to go to the door. These Taoist priests' bodies were crawling with white mouse-like creatures, which were very large and almost a foot long.
The mice started to dig holes with a soft hissing sound. A small pit appeared at the bottom of the door in no time.
"Be sure not to go through the main door, do not move the door mechanism. Make this hole bigger, let the Xifeng Daoist pass through first, then the disciples." Wu Jinluan took a deep breath, his voice was much more solemn.
"I found another strange thing," I said.
The old Gong didn't show up.
Normally, if it were an evil residence, the strong negative energy would cover up the positive energy. Old Gong should definitely have appeared.
He did not appear...
Is it still a Yang residence? Or just a Yang residence with unusual traps set up?
The alchemist who practiced alchemy here must have been very cautious and careful.
Are they really not afraid that they might accidentally trigger the traps and be killed themselves?
It took about five to six minutes for a hole about half a meter wide to appear on the door, allowing people to crawl through easily.
