Chapter 939 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles 27
But Zhang Qiling was not seen; he should have already arrived near the Bronze Gate by now.
Upon seeing their sudden appearance, all of Aning's men looked over, but none of them made any rash moves.
Their men suffered heavy losses, and everyone was injured.
Seeing that they were all unharmed, I was still somewhat wary.
Only Wu Xie and Fatty came over.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Gu? Long time no see." The fat man greeted Gu Wusi.
"Hmm." Gu Wusi nodded, not intending to say anything more.
Wu Xie then asked Xie Yuchen, "Xiao Hua, why are you here too? And you came with Gu Wusi."
"Come and see what's here. Is this the end of your journey? You came all this way just for this tomb?"
"I initially came here to find my third uncle's whereabouts, but later I realized it was an unsolvable mystery, so I ended up here."
"And what about you?" Xie Yuchen turned to look at Gu Wusi.
Gu Wusi turned his face away and said, "You'll find out soon enough."
She found an empty seat and sat down, with Xingchen and Ajin Shou sitting next to her.
The mechanisms ahead are for Wu Xie and his team to solve.
His only goal was the bronze door.
"Boss, we've arrived at our destination now, can we go back now?" Hei Xiazi tried to persuade Xie Yuchen to return.
"No rush, I want to see what else they're going to do."
After Xie Yuchen finished speaking, he led his men to the side to rest.
But not long after, he went to find Wu Sansheng.
Wu Xie, holding the snake-browed bronze fish, collaborated with A Ning's people to decipher the coded message left by Wang Zanghai.
It not only records the reasons why Wang Zanghai placed the snake-browed bronze fish in several ancient tombs, but also the location of the bronze door.
Knowing that the door was located underground in this tomb, they led their men to study the mechanism.
Gu Wusi watched them busy, then sat down to eat and replenish his energy.
I just took out the chocolate and took a bite when I realized I hadn't called home yet.
She took her phone and left the tomb, finding a place to make a call.
We didn't chat for too long; we just needed to calm the old lady down.
On the way back, we had to pass through a dimly lit passage.
On the only road he could take, Gu Wusi saw two people standing there.
Black Bear leaned against the wall with his legs bent, surrounded by smoke, the cigarette in his hand glowing crimson.
Xie Yuchen was sitting diagonally opposite him, looking in his direction.
"Are you waiting for me?" Gu Wusi walked towards that direction without stopping.
She walked over to Black Bear, took a cigarette case from his pocket, lit one for herself, and leaned against the wall.
Hei Xiazi raised an eyebrow and smiled: "You're quite the thief, aren't you? You've managed to steal things from me several times."
Gu Wusi did not explain his ability to see through his clothes to see what was inside.
Ignoring his words, she looked at Xie Yuchen with a questioning gaze.
He looked at them and nodded: "I saw you hadn't come back for a while, so I came to check on you."
"I didn't expect you to care about me so much," Gu Wusi said with a smile.
"If anything happens to you, as someone who knows the situation, I won't be able to explain it to President Xie when I get back," Xie Yuchen said jokingly.
"Is it just that you can't explain it to the Gu family, or is Master Hua himself worried that something might have happened to Miss Gu?"
Hei Xiazi looked on, then suddenly squinted and asked, his tone deliberately tinged with amusement.
Upon hearing this, Gu Wusi watched the spectacle with a mocking expression, as if he were not one of the people being watched.
Xie Yuchen smiled slightly at her expression before answering Hei Xiazi's question.
"I want nothing to happen to you, whether as a friend or a companion on the journey."
"I'm not that easy to get into trouble with. Everyone, go back." After finishing his cigarette, Gu Wusi turned and walked into the tomb.
The two men left behind exchanged a glance and then immediately looked away; one had a habitual smile on his lips, while the other remained expressionless.
The two seemed lost in thought, standing there for a while before returning.
Gu Wusi only returned immediately after hearing the sound of the mechanism being activated.
The clicking sounds of mechanisms activating echoed in the tomb chamber, and soon the entire chamber began to shake.
Before long, everyone saw that the entrance to a secret passage had been opened on one of the tomb walls.
Seeing this, they didn't waste any time and went inside one after another with their bags on their backs.
After walking for a few minutes, we arrived at a platform on a cliff face, which was completely dark.
Walking to the edge and looking down into the cliff, you can see many intertwined bronze chains connecting to the opposite mountain wall in the darkness below.
Gu Wusi felt that the entrances to these tombs were all located on cliffs and steep walls.
Building imperial mausoleums in ancient times was indeed a huge undertaking.
"These chains seem to be locking something down there?" said one of the people on Aning's side.
"Look, why is there still a rope here?"
"Did Brother go down?" Wu Xie whispered to Fatty Wang.
The fat man immediately said, "Then what are we hesitating for? Let's go down too."
"hold on."
Wu Xie turned to look at his injured third uncle, then looked towards Gu Wusi.
He hesitated for a moment, then walked up to Gu Wusi: "Can you tell me, did you already know what was down there?"
Since I've already come all this way, there's nothing I can't say. After all, my destination is so clear that it's impossible for me to say I don't know.
Gu Wusi did not deny it: "Yes, I know."
Do you know what's inside the bronze door?
"The ultimate." There's no need to explain this to them; it's hard to put into words anyway.
"What is the ultimate?" Wu Xie pressed, and the familiar people standing beside him were also curious.
"The beginning and the end of everything."
That's the same as not saying anything at all; they already know the literal meaning.
Xie Yuchen asked, "You want to enter the Bronze Gate?"
Gu Wusi tacitly agreed that Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen were unaware that the Bronze Gate was not a place to enter casually.
But one can guess that, judging from her confidence, she must have made preparations.
For once, Hei Xiazi put away his frivolous demeanor and gave Gu Wusi a complicated look.
"If you go in and can't come out, how will you explain it to your family?" Xie Yuchen asked again.
“Once they get out, I have a way to calm them down.”
Seeing that she was determined to go in, and that persuasion was useless, the group didn't say anything more.
After resting for a while, everyone got ready and continued down using climbing ropes.
A tall, imposing bronze gate, so large that one couldn't see its top even by looking up, covered with ancient runes and intricate patterns, appeared before everyone's eyes.
The patterns on it don't look like mere decorations; they seem to contain some kind of mysterious power.
The door exudes a profound and ancient aura, as if it has existed since the beginning of time, existing as long as heaven and earth.
It looks like something that makes people curious about its mysteries, but also makes them hesitant to approach it because of the unknown dangers.
Once Gu Wusi arrived here, he decided not to wander around anymore.
