Tomb Raider: The comprehension is against the sky, and the achievement is indestructible

Chapter 85: The Patriarch Comes Out, the Third Sky Lantern
Seeing that Zhang Qishan had also hung up a sky lantern, Zhang Qiling's expression changed slightly.

Su Mo stood up, walked to Zhang Qiling, and whispered something in his ear.

Zhang Qiling's expression changed slightly again. After a moment of silence, he stood up and walked out silently.

He turned around and walked to Zhang Qishan's door. After hesitating for a moment, he knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

Zhang Qishan's low and somewhat old voice was heard from the room.

Zhang Qiling pushed the door open and walked in.

Inside the box, Zhang Qishan sat upright on a chair. Although his hair had turned snow-white and his face was full of wrinkles, his waist was still as straight as a gun barrel.

Zhang Rishan stood solemnly behind him with his hands hanging down. Although he had become very old after many years, he still stood beside Zhang Qishan as an adjutant.

Seeing Zhang Qiling coming in, Zhang Qishan's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Qiling glanced at him and said:

"You should know my identity!"

Zhang Qishan still didn't say anything, but just nodded silently.

"Although you have left the Zhang family and your current status is very high, you are still a member of the Zhang family, and I..."

At this point, Zhang Qiling's face showed a cold and unyielding expression:

"It's the Zhang family's patriarch!"

Zhang Qishan and Zhang Rishan's hearts skipped a beat at the same time.

From the information they obtained, they knew that the young man had lost his memory, but for some reason the young man at this time seemed to know the whole story and found them directly.

After a few seconds of silence, the two suddenly turned around and knelt in front of Zhang Qiling:
"Zhang Qishan (Zhang Rishan) pays homage to the clan leader!"

Zhang Qiling didn't say anything else, just nodded slightly and looked at the sky lantern in the upper left corner of the box.

Zhang Qishan followed his gaze and suddenly sighed, saying:

"You can't take pictures of this ghost seal!"

"Why?"

"I was the one who released this Ghost Seal!"

Zhang Qiling's face remained expressionless:
"Master Su has already guessed it!"

After hearing him mention Su Mo, Zhang Qishan paused for a few seconds and said in a deep voice:

"Is this Master Su really the Taoist monk who moves mountains?"

Zhang Qiling nodded:
"His skills are superb. You and I are no match for him. Since he set the sky lantern on fire to bid for this ghost seal, he must be confident that he can deal with the person you want!"

Zhang Qishan's expression changed and he stood there without saying anything.

He was the one who released the ghost seal in order to lure the Wang family out.

The Ghost Seal is the key to open the bronze door. Zhang Qishan certainly knows the secret, but the release of the black flies by the Wang family in Shacheng before liberation, and the several failures in Banai Ancient City, Siguniang Mountain and the underwater tomb after the founding of the People's Republic of China, made Zhang Qishan feel that there was someone behind the scenes who was deliberately making trouble.

That's why he released this ghost seal, wanting to lure the Wang family out from the darkness.

The Wang family and the Zhang family are mortal enemies!

The Zhang family's goal is to protect the bronze door and the ultimate secret, while the Wang family's goal since Wang Canghai has shifted from obtaining immortality, and they even seem to want to influence China in secret.

Back then in the Zhang family ancient building, Zhang Qishan summoned the Old Nine Gates in the hope of obtaining the secret of immortality, but the entire operation was sabotaged, resulting in total failure!

Although Zhang Qishan has been investigating secretly in recent years, the Wang family often hides very deeply and there is no way to find out.

That's why he released the Ghost Seal at the Crescent Hotel auction and sent out many invitations with great fanfare, hoping to use the key to the bronze door to lure out the Wang family.

But Su Mo's sudden appearance disrupted Zhang Qishan's plan. Therefore, Zhang Qishan also hung up a sky lantern to compete with Su Mo!

With his financial resources and strength, he forced Su Mo to give up the Ghost Seal.

Zhang Qiling's sudden appearance put Zhang Qishan in a dilemma.

The young man is the clan leader. Although Zhang Qishan has left the Zhang family and is now in a high position of power, he still has to be cautious because of the clan leader's bloodline suppression.

But according to the rules of the Crescent Hotel, once the sky lanterns are hung up, they cannot be taken down!
Zhang Qiling glanced at Zhang Qishan and said:
"We must get the Ghost Seal. If you really just want to lure those people out, just wait and see!"

After saying that, Zhang Qiling turned around and walked out of Zhang Qishan’s box.

Watching his back as he left, Zhang Qishan and Zhang Rishan's faces turned pale.

"Lord Buddha!"

Zhang Rishan sighed:
"Zhang Qiling seems to be very obedient to this Master Su, and he seems to have guessed our purpose. Who is he?"

Zhang Qishan shook his head, was silent for a moment, and suddenly sighed:
"The Taoist monk Banshan has disappeared from China since Queqiao Shao fled to the United States. I didn't expect him to suddenly reappear. And it seems that the tomb-grabbing and mountain-removing sects have obeyed him. I still can't guess the purpose of this Master Su!"

"perhaps……"

He thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Just like Zhang Qiling said, let's just wait and see what happens!"

On this side, Zhang Qiling quickly returned to Su Mo's box.

Su Mo glanced at him and said nothing.

Just now, it was Su Mo who told Zhang Qiling about Zhang Qishan’s identity and his relationship with them.

Zhang Qiling's lost memory seemed to be awakened, and he turned and walked to Zhang Qishan's box, had that conversation with Zhang Qishan, warning the other party not to cause any more trouble.

Now that Zhang Qiling is back, Su Mo knows that he has said everything he needs to say.

Huba, Fatty Wang and the others looked at Zhang Qiling with some curiosity, and felt that the actions of this sullen young man seemed mysterious.

At this time, Zhang Qiling suddenly walked to the window and waved to the waiter of the Crescent Hotel below.

The guy was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he used the long pole to fork up a small green lantern.

The third sky lantern!
Everyone in the audience was stunned.

The entire auction site fell silent in an instant, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

After a brief silence, applause suddenly broke out from the crowd.

Many people even clapped and cheered excitedly:

"Oh my god, I lit two sky lanterns at once!"

"This gentleman is really arrogant!"

"Two sky lanterns, what does that mean?"

"Two sky lanterns means double the bid price. No matter what the final bid price is, he will pay double the price. Naturally, he is not afraid of the other party competing with him for lanterns!"

"Fuck...you can play like this!"

"I've never seen anything like this before. It was worth coming to the Crescent Hotel today!"

The applause, cheers and discussions from the audience suddenly all blended into one, and the whole place was instantly filled with noise.

Su Mo glanced at Zhang Qiling, but couldn't help showing a somewhat amusing expression on his face:

"Brother, you're going to throw away twice as much money for me in one go!"

Zhang Qiling turned to look at Su Mo. Although his face was still expressionless, his eyes were extremely solemn:
"We must get the Ghost Seal, no matter what the cost!"

"As long as Master Su can help me get these two ghost seals, Zhang Qiling is willing to let you drive him!"
