In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

There was a man surnamed Wu in the funeral procession.

That person's name is Wu Sansheng.

However, Wu Sansheng later disappeared for some unknown reason.

At this point, Zhang Tata became somewhat agitated, "I don't know why your third uncle disappeared, but I know that your Wu family is very powerful, and if it weren't for your so-called Nine Gates, I wouldn't have ended up in this state..."

Wu Xie couldn't help but interject, asking, "Are you saying that the Nine Gates were behind this back then?"

Zhang Tata shook her head, "Yes and no..."

Wu Xie asked, puzzled, "What do you mean? Explain yourself..."

Zhang Tata said, "Because the Nine Gates back then were nothing more than pawns in someone else's game. They came to this place because of their own selfish motives, and that's how they got controlled by 'it'..."

When the word "it" was mentioned, Zhang Tata's eyes darted away, revealing fear.

It's that again.

It's that same thing again!

Wu Xie never expected that he would hear "it" from this person's mouth again at this moment.

It really is everywhere, penetrating every nook and cranny.

It turns out that they were also manipulating events that happened more than 30 years ago.

"The Nine Gates, led by Zhang Dafoye, have long been corrupt. As for Zhang Dafoye's purpose, I saw it clearly back then. His ambitions had long exceeded those of the Nine Gates. It was precisely because of this that he was used by 'it'!"

"What happened back then was truly tragic. After everyone was forced inside, I was the only one who came out alive!"

Zhang Tata removed the black cloth covering her face, revealing an extremely terrifying face.

Chapter 465: Another Path to the Zhang Family Ancient Building

"What happened back then was truly tragic. After everyone was forced inside, I was the only one who came out alive!"

Zhang Tata removed the black cloth covering her face, revealing an extremely terrifying face.

This is a face that could give you nightmares at night.

His skin was completely corroded, and Wu Xie and Xie Xiaohua could even see the veins throbbing.

Zhang's features were shriveled, his eyes were squinted and turned to the sides, and his nose and mouth were almost twisted together.

His face was completely hairless, his forehead was bald, and his neck and shoulders were almost in a straight line, so his shoulders looked completely droopy.

The two arms looked as if they were just emerging from the sides of the body.

Zhang Tata, her name truly reflects her personality!

"hiss!"

His body was covered in so many undamaged skin that Wu Xie couldn't help but gasp in shock.

It looks like it's been severely corroded by some chemical agent, with no new skin growing. It's become translucent, revealing the cell walls of blood vessels, as if it would bleed profusely at the slightest touch.

However, Zhang Tata still has half of the Qilin tattoo on the left side of her body, which remains relatively intact.

Wu Xie raised his eyebrows and looked over, recognizing at a glance that it was a Qilin tattoo.

awful!

Even Su Mo couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Wu Xie asked, "How could this be?"

"how so?"

Instead of answering, Zhang Tata retorted, "Isn't it all because of your Nine Gates' Buddha and 'it' behind him!"

Wu Xie was startled. "Buddha? Buddha...he..."

"Humph!"

Seemingly aware of Wu Xie's doubts, Zhang Tata snorted coldly, "For his own wealth and glory, Zhang Dafoye had already colluded with 'it' back then. All of us Zhang Qilings were forced to enter the Zhang Family Ancient Building with the funeral procession!"

"And that's when I found out that they were looking for someone from the Zhang family, specifically someone named Zhang Qiling, because the patriarch of the Zhang family was named Zhang Qiling!"

"Only members of the Zhang family can survive in the Zhang Family Ancient Building!"

"In order for their funeral procession to achieve its purpose, all the Zhang Qilings became sacrificial offerings!"

"Tell me, is there anything wrong with someone named Zhang Qiling?"

Wu Xie couldn't answer that question.

Right or wrong, good or bad—so many years have passed since this incident, and the answer has lost its meaning.

Moreover, Wu Xie knew that even if he answered the question, he might not be able to eliminate Zhang Tata's hatred for the Nine Gates.

Wu Xie tried to change the subject, "So what happened to you in the Zhang family drum tower? How did the entire army get wiped out, and you were the only one who came out?"

The grudges and entanglements between the Nine Gates and the Zhang family are too numerous to recount in a short time, but Wu Xie finally learned the truth about it all.

It is everywhere; all the secrets are concentrated in the Zhang Family Ancient Building. Once inside, all the truths will be revealed.

At this moment, Wu Xie was even more eager to enter the Zhang Family Ancient Building.

What's inside? Heh, inside is hell on earth!

At this point, Zhang Tata became agitated again. He covered his face and said painfully, "After we went in, we realized that we had taken the wrong route. Because of the wrong route, the mechanisms inside the ancient building were activated!"

"In fact, there is only one mechanism inside the Zhang Family Ancient Building: the poison gas mechanism!"

As she spoke, Zhang Tata pointed to her face, "My face was corroded by these toxic gases!"

"Because of changes in airflow and temperature, once certain thresholds are reached, the toxic gas mechanism will be activated immediately!"

"The poison gas is spreading everywhere, leaving no corner untouched. No matter where we hide, it's useless!"

"Many people were corroded on the spot and turned into a pool of green water; the scene was horrific!"

"Later, I learned that those toxic gases were actually strong alkalis!"

Zhang Tata roared, venting his displeasure to the fullest.

strong base?

That stuff is no joke; at high concentrations, it can corrode even mortals like humans into water.

Wu Xie was startled.

Su Mo's complexion was relatively normal. His body was different from ordinary people, and as long as he was careful, strong alkali might not be able to harm him.

Wu Xie then asked, "So how did you finally escape?"

Zhang Tata shook her head, "How did I escape? I was just lucky!"

As Zhang Tata spoke of these things, he gradually calmed down. He had forced himself to accept this matter for thirty years, and now it didn't seem so painful to talk about it.

"Back then, I hid in the upper compartment. Everyone in front of me died. I was hiding in a pile of corpses, my skin covered in ulcers. I thought I was going to die, but then the poison gas dissipated, and I frantically tried to run away. Maybe God took pity on me, and that's how I managed to escape in a daze!"

"But my life is ruined too."

After speaking, Zhang Tata remained silent for a long time. Wu Xie was getting impatient with him.

Wu Xie was about to urge him when Zhang Tata spoke up again: "Later, I was on the verge of death in the mountains when Pan Ma found me. He saved me and often brought me food. We made a promise that he would never tell anyone about my affairs!"

"Later, when he conspired with others to kill the archaeological team, I was the one who knew the most about it. So, all these years, only Pan Ma knew of my existence!"

"..."

Zhang Tata paused, then looked at Wu Xie and Su Mo again, "Now that you both know, don't you know the answer?"

"The Zhang Family Ancient Building is a living hell. Those people who went in before would have certainly died. I stopped them. Was I wrong?"

"I'm not allowing anyone else to go in!"

Zhang Tata got a little excited as she spoke.

This is the enormous psychological shadow that Zhangjia Ancient Building cast on him, and this shadow led to his behavior.

In his view, no one could walk out of the Zhang Family Ancient Building alive. He killed these people and also nipped the secret in the bud in Banna.

He thought he would continue living like this from then on, but this time, the real Zhang Qiling actually went in!

Wu Xie said, "Little Brother is the real Zhang Qiling of the Zhang family, so of course he can go in. However, for some reason, they have lost contact. So please be sure to tell us about the other passage!"

Zhang Tata said, "I don't know!"

"you know!"

Su Mo, who had been relatively silent, suddenly spoke up, and his tone left no room for argument, as if Zhang Tata would be pierced through the heart by his arrow if she refused.

"Clang!"

Su Mo's Crimson Sky Sword was already at Zhang Tata's neck.

“I know you. You’ve studied a route that passes through a densely populated area called Miluotuo!”

Su Mo had some recollection of the clues from the original drama.

Su Mo remembered that it was the place where Miluotu's mother slept, but he didn't know which direction it was.

This is no longer something that can be solved by feng shui secrets; it absolutely requires someone like Zhang Tata, who has explored the area around the Gulou Ancient Tower mountain countless times, to point out the correct direction.

Chapter 466: Entering the Zhang Family Ancient Building

"Clang!"

Su Mo's Crimson Sky Sword was already pressed against Zhang Tata's neck. "I know you've researched a route that requires passing through a densely populated area of ​​Miluotu. Tell me how to get there!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Tata looked at him without fear. "Since you're so eager to die, I won't stop you anymore. I can tell you the direction. I still owe Wu Sansheng a favor from back then, and I'll repay it now!"

Wu Xie was surprised, "So you owe my third uncle a favor. Tell me quickly, saving people is the priority now, Xiao Ge and the others are in great danger..."

"Brother? Zhang Qiling?"

Zhang Tata sneered, "Even if he is the real Zhang Qiling, he will still die if he goes astray. Besides, a day has already passed, they are already dead, so there's no point in you going in!"

Wu Xie was furious. "Speak up if you're going to, or shut up!"
