Chapter 835 Not Mind Being Zhang Qiling's Stepfather
The secret of the Bronze Gate must never be revealed. Anyone who ventures into the Bronze Gate area will die there!
Gao Dongxu didn't want to know what the ultimate secret behind the bronze door was; the unknown was the most terrifying thing.

Because we don't know what will happen, how it will happen, or what the outcome will be... rather than courting death out of curiosity, it's better to maintain the status quo.

Since Zhang Qiling is willing to make sacrifices and bear the burden, Gao Dongxu will naturally give him his full support.

After lunch, Gao Dongxu called Zhang Qiling into the room, took out a large backpack filled with various supplies, and also took out a travel bag of weapons.

"Bring two guns and bullets. There are too many people going into the mountains this time. Although the control measures have been very strict, it is certain that many more teams will still come into the mountains with weapons. Compared to the Black Gold Ancient Sword, shooting people is more convenient." Gao Dongxu sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, smoked a cigarette, and said with a faint smile.

“Okay—” Zhang Qiling did not refuse. After saying “okay,” he took out two Glock 17s and four magazines from his travel bag. After hesitating for a moment, he took out two tactical grenades.

Watching Zhang Qiling equip himself with weapons and put the grenades into his backpack, Gao Dongxu took out a locator and tossed it to him, saying, "This is a locator. Activate it after we enter the mountains."

Zhang Qiling caught the locator, his expression indifferent, but his eyes flickered as he looked at Gao Dongxu and asked, "The ultimate place behind the bronze gate..."

"You don't need to test me. I'm not interested, I don't want to know, and I don't want to lose my human identity and become a monster."

Gao Dongxu waved his hand to interrupt Zhang Qiling's question, saying with a disdainful look, "On the contrary, are you really determined to guard the gate for Wu Xie?"

"So you really do know everything..." Zhang Qiling's eyes were complicated, and a hint of emotion finally appeared on his expressionless face as he looked at Gao Dongxu. "He's not yet at the level to guard the Bronze Gate... Besides, didn't you already choose him to deal with the Wang family?"

“Actually, you don’t have to guard the gate. ‘It’ has already disbanded. As for the Wang family, just make sure it’s done cleanly this time.” Gao Dongxu didn’t want Zhang Qiling to guard the gate alone for ten years.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Qiling shook his head and said, "We still need someone to keep an eye on what's behind the door."

"And what about your mother? A lot can happen in ten years."

"..."

Zhang Qiling remained silent, then suddenly looked at Gao Dongxu with a trembling voice, his eyes showing emotion for the first time, and asked, "Do you have any way to save her?"

Gao Dongxu frowned, took a drag of his cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and sighed softly, "No... but..."

When Zhang Qiling heard "no," his face twitched a few times, and disappointment and a trace of sadness flickered in his eyes. However, he quickly regained hope because of Gao Dongxu's "no," and looked intently at Gao Dongxu, asking in a trembling voice, "No what?"

“I can’t save the person, but I can extract her soul after she dies and let her continue to exist as a spirit.”

Gao Dongxu's eyes sparkled with a strange light. Bai Ma (played by Bai Bing), who possessed the bloodline of the King of Hell, was not only very beautiful, but also had skin as white as flawless jade, except for a black mole on her neck.

Tsk tsk, such a stunning beauty, it's a real shame she's dead.

Well, he wouldn't mind being Zhang Qiling's stepfather.

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's words, Zhang Qiling's pupils constricted sharply. He stared straight at Gao Dongxu, his lips moving, and finally, in a trembling voice, he asked, "Really?"

“Yes, I can make your mother a guardian spirit, not a wandering ghost. She will retain all her memories and emotions. If conditions permit, she may even become a living being, essentially no different from a living person,” Gao Dongxu said, his eyes gleaming.

"..." Zhang Qiling's eyes flickered, his heart filled with turmoil.

"To successfully capture her soul, your mother must have an extremely strong sense of resentment and obsession, and refuse to accept death. If she accepts death willingly, her soul will go directly to the underworld, and at that time, there will be nothing I can do," Gao Dongxu said, looking at Zhang Qiling.

"Okay, I understand." Zhang Qiling nodded silently and said to Gao Dongxu, "Thank you."

"Hehe, if you really want to thank me, get me some more Tibetan sea flowers," Gao Dongxu laughed.

“Okay.” Zhang Qiling did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

"Ten years...that's too long," Gao Dongxu said, looking at Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling frowned slightly and finally said, "Let's see how things go. If it doesn't work out, we can postpone guarding the gate for another year. The key is still the Wang family."

“It’s not the Wang family, it’s Wang Zanghai—” Gao Dongxu said to Zhang Qiling with a serious and solemn expression.

"Wang Zanghai?!" Even Zhang Qiling, who was usually expressionless, showed an expression of disbelief.

"That's right. Although it's just my guess, it's very likely. According to my research and analysis, Wang Zanghai has found and studied almost all the longevity techniques. In the end, he gave up the longevity technique that would cause him to lose his human nature and become a monster, and chose a soul memory possession method instead."

He took advantage of the fact that the Corpse Beetle King could store memories, storing his own memories and will separately in the Corpse Beetle Pill. It is not difficult to see that the various mechanisms in the Xisha underwater tomb, such as the coral tree covered with bronze bells that can cause hallucinations and brainwashing, and the whistle coffin, are all ingenious designs by Wang Zanghai.

His purpose in designing these mechanisms was not to stop tomb raiding, but to guide tomb hunters to take the corpse beetle elixir, thereby inheriting his will and memories and achieving the inheritance of immortality.

At the same time, he used the Snake-Eyed Bronze Fish to guide these people to the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top. I think Wang Zanghai wanted these people who had consumed the Corpse Beetle Pill, which contained his memories and will, to enter the Bronze Gate, thus completing the final step of his possession and resurrection.

Gao Dongxu shared his bold guess with Zhang Qiling. Seeing Zhang Qiling's increasingly serious expression, he continued, "I even think that this is just one of the ways Wang Zanghai seeks immortality. Perhaps he has prepared other ways to achieve immortality."

His purpose in establishing the Wang family was not only to deal with your Zhang family, but also to have these people wait, help, and protect his rebirth plan generation after generation.

"..." Zhang Qiling fell into a deep silence, looking at Gao Dongxu with a complex and admiring gaze. At this moment, he truly felt that his mind was not working properly. He now genuinely admired Gao Dongxu, even to the point that he felt only Gao Dongxu could deal with Wang Zanghai's 600-year-old scheme and plot.

"So, don't be soft-hearted. Anyone who wants to enter the Bronze Gate, no matter who they are, must die. Remember, no matter who they are!" Gao Dongxu said sharply, his killing intent palpable.

“Okay!” Zhang Qiling nodded solemnly with a serious expression and sharp eyes.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you downstairs—” Gao Dongxu stubbed out his cigarette, stood up and said to Zhang Qiling.

“Okay.” Zhang Qiling picked up the huge backpack filled with supplies and followed Gao Dongxu out of the room.

Down in the courtyard, Wu Xie, Fatty Wang, Hei Xiazi, and Hu Bayi immediately surrounded Gao Dongxu and Zhang Qiling when they saw them come down.

"Brother, be careful—" Wu Xie and Fatty Wang hugged Zhang Qiling and gave him words of concern and advice, making Zhang Qiling a little embarrassed.

"Be careful," Hei Xiazi said, stepping forward to hug Zhang Qiling.

"Mm." Zhang Qiling nodded, feeling incredibly warm inside. His gaze swept over the faces of Wu Xie, Fatty Wang, and Hei Xiazi, as if trying to imprint their voices and smiles into his mind.

"Let's get in the car and go. Horses have already been arranged at the outpost," Gao Dongxu said to Zhang Qiling.

"Okay." Zhang Qiling nodded, then picked up his backpack, opened the car door, got in, rolled down the window, and said to everyone, "I'll be waiting for you in the mountains."

Everyone smiled and waved, watching the SUV drive out of the guesthouse.

"Boss, when are we going into the mountains?" Wang Yue asked with a fawning smile.

"No rush, let those cannon fodder go up the mountain first." Gao Dongxu said with a smile, then took out his phone and made a call as he walked into the guesthouse.

"Come here—"

Watching Gao Dongxu's retreating figure, Wu Xie's lips twitched. Hei Xiazi, standing beside him, grabbed his neck, a mischievous grin on his face, and said, "Little Brother's gone, it's time for our special training to begin—"

"Huh?!" Wu Xie looked at Hei Xiazi in astonishment.

"What the hell are you talking about? Let's go. Today we'll start by learning how to get beaten up—" Hei Xiazi smiled sinisterly, tightened his grip on Wu Xie's neck, and dragged him towards the backyard.

"Ah, let go, you're hurting me..." Wu Xie struggled and cried out, struggling to breathe as he was being squeezed.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Wang Yueban called out to Wu Xie with a hint of pity, "Tianzhen, good luck to you—"

"Fatty, you're not being fair. Hey, let go, I'll walk by myself..." Wu Xie cried out in anguish.

Wang Kaixuan, who was standing to the side, kicked Wang Yueban with a smile and said, "Such a good learning opportunity, aren't you going?"

"Only a fool would follow him. That blind bastard doesn't know his own strength, and I don't want to get beaten up. Besides, I use firearms. As for fists and kicks, I only need to know a couple of tricks. When it really matters, I'll rely on my muscles to take a beating," Wang Yueban chuckled.

"Pfft-"

Yang Xueli was amused by Wang Yueban's words and his cheeky expression.

"Hehe, you two really do look alike."

Everyone chuckled. Hu Bayi looked at Wang Yueban and said with a smile, "Who was that guy who just left? His fingers were quite unique..."

"Hehe, Uncle Hu, are you trying to ask if this young man's fingers are the legendary 'Hunter's Finger'?" Wang Yue asked with a sly glint in his eyes.

Hu Bayi, his thoughts exposed, chuckled awkwardly and looked at Wang Yueban with bright eyes, asking, "Is that right?"

“That’s right, it’s the tomb-raiding finger, the old ox is 13, the tomb bricks fit together perfectly, like inserting tofu.” Wang Yueban chuckled.

"Hiss—" Hu Bayi and the other two gasped, exchanging bewildered glances. Yang Xueli frowned and asked, "Then is he the contemporary General of the Tomb Raiders?"

"I don't know. Whether it is or not, who cares? Just because he's the modern-day General of Tomb Raiders, does that mean we Tomb Raiders have to obey his orders? Would you listen to him?"

Hu Bayi and the other two shook their heads.

Wang Yue clapped his hands and laughed, "Isn't that it? Hehe, speaking of tomb raiders, Uncle Hu, could you teach me a few of your special skills? I can't keep letting Young Master Gao laugh at me for being a slacker, can I? Wouldn't that be embarrassing for you and my uncle?"

"Hehe, you little rascal—" Hu Bayi chuckled, then, seeing Wang Kaixuan wink at him, hesitated for a moment before laughing, "Alright, I'll teach you my special skill—"

"That's great, thank you Uncle Hu!" Wang Yueban immediately expressed her gratitude happily.
