Wu Xie was in a real crisis and didn't have time to waste arguing with this guy.

Zhang Tata chuckled, "I'm the lucky one, but that doesn't mean all of you are like me. Of course, if you'd like to become like me!"

After saying that, Zhang Tata stopped talking and took out a scroll from his pocket. Wu Xie looked down and saw that it was a map.

Even if he is the real Zhang Qiling?

Su Mo's eyes flickered, Zhang Tata's words kept echoing in his mind, which suddenly gave him a new guess.

Wu Xie reached out and took the map, but Su Mo was no longer concerned about that. He slowly walked onto the ice bed and cold jade, and following the three gaps that Zhang Qiling and the others had found, he placed his finger into the mechanism.

Su Mo's fingers weren't long, unlike the fingers of the Silent One. However, as a tomb raider, probing holes with two fingers was his specialty, so this kind of mechanism was extremely easy for him.

Once the platform emerged from the crack in the wall, Su Mo lay down without hesitation.

"..."

Before Wu Xie could say anything, the platform was forcibly shut down the next second.

"Boom!"

As the sound of the mechanism rang out, Su Mo disappeared and reappeared from another platform.

At this moment, Su Mo was already encased in a yellow, sealed substance.

This scene left Wu Xie and Xie Xiaohua completely dumbfounded.

"Master!"

"Quickly, smash it!"

Wu Xie and his companion's expressions changed instantly.

Zhang Qiling's fate is still unknown. If Su Mo were to have another accident, they would be truly finished!

at the same time.

The door without relief carvings was opened one layer, finally revealing the side with relief carvings.

Zhang Tata was stunned; he never expected that the person in front of him would actually open the door.

Even without the bloodline of the Qilin, you can still open this door!

For the past thirty years, Zhang Tata had believed that no one could do it, but Su Mo completely shattered his preconceived notions today. At the same time, he began to doubt his own actions over the past thirty years.

What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help!

Wu Xie patted Zhang Tata, and Zhang Tata, as if possessed, also picked up a knife and tried to help them smash the yellow sealed substance. He didn't even know why he had sided with Wu Xie.

Su Mo's eyes widened as he stared in disbelief at the scene. Although his body was imprisoned by the yellow substance, he was still conscious.

"boom!"

Su Mo's body surged with energy, and an invisible force rose from his ribs, soaring into the sky and shattering the void, as if a giant beast had descended upon the world.

Su Mo sat up abruptly and took several deep breaths.

"Master Su... thank goodness, you're alright!"

Sweat streamed down Wu Xie's face, and his palms were also covered in sweat from nervousness.

Su Moqian smiled and said, "It's alright, I won't die. This trap can't kill me at all... and the things below are nothing special!"

"under!"

Zhang Tata couldn't help but ask, "What's down there?"

Su Mo took the water Xiao Hua handed him and gulped down a few mouthfuls, his expression extremely gloomy. "Next up is the morgue!"

"..."

Zhang Tata and Wu Xie were both somewhat surprised.

Su Mo stood up and walked to the last door with the relief carving, recalling his situation below.

Although it lasted less than a minute, what happened next was truly terrifying.

If Su Mo hadn't spent many years tomb raiding and encountered countless demons, monsters, and monsters, and hadn't developed a mindset different from ordinary people, he probably would have been terrified.

Su Mo said, "Below is a closed space, completely dark, but I can sense not only the corpses lying around me, but also a very terrifying aura!"

"It felt like countless ghosts were buzzing and wailing in my ears!"

"It seems that if my willpower falters, I'll become one of them!"

"However, this state did not cause me any real harm!"

"But... for a moment, my consciousness also became somewhat hazy..."

Xie Xiaohua couldn't help but ask, "Can the things below hurt Master?"

Su Mo shook his head. "I didn't know what that thing was until now, but I've figured it out. It was some kind of mysterious power testing whether I had Qilin blood, to prove whether I was a member of the Zhang family!"

Wu Xie said, "But Master Su... you're not a member of the Zhang family, and you don't have the bloodline of the Qilin, do you?"

Su Mo smiled and said, "Although I do not have the bloodline of the Qilin, I do have the bloodline of the Azure Dragon. The Azure Dragon is an auspicious beast that suppresses the fortune of the East, and its status is even higher than that of the Qilin. In addition, the creatures below are wary of my strength, so they have not attacked me!"

Su Mo spoke casually, one hand already pressing on the reliefs. They had just returned from Mount Siguniang, so they naturally knew the password to the last door.

"..."

After listening to Su Mo's words, Wu Xie and Zhang Tata remained silent for a long time.

It's incredible that the Zhang family managed to come up with so many creative ideas in such a small space.

"Boom!"

Just then, Su Mo opened the last door.

A day and a night had passed since Zhang Qiling, Old Madam Huo, Hu Bayi, and the others went missing. At this moment, the gate of the Zhang Family Ancient Building opened, and Wu Xie took a deep breath and perked up again.

Su Mo, Wu Xie, and Xie Xiaohua walked forward, and soon they arrived at a bridge that resembled a log bridge.

"Squeak!"

The door behind them suddenly closed, and neither Zhang Tata nor Hei Xiazi followed them in.

"blind!"

Xie Xiaohua turned her head and shouted, "What are you doing?"

"Master Hua..."

Black Bear waved his hand, "This is forbidden territory for me, I cannot enter..."

"Forbidden place?"

Xie Xiaohua retorted, "What nonsense! What forbidden area could a murderer like you have..."

Without turning his head, Su Mo explained, "The Zhang Family Ancient Building was built by the Lei family of the Ming Dynasty. This family was the official designer for the Aisin Gioro family..."

"What?" Xie Xiaohua didn't quite understand.

Su Mo explained, "The Zhang Family Ancient Building is related to Emperor Qianlong, and Hei Xiazi was a Manchu!"

Chapter 467: Inside the Ancient Building

Su Mo explained, "The Zhang Family Ancient Building is related to Emperor Qianlong, and Hei Xiazi was a Manchu!"

"What?" Xie Xiaohua didn't quite understand. Why was Emperor Qianlong being brought up again? He was a notorious spendthrift.

"boom!"

At this moment, the giant gate closed again, and Hei Xiazi and Zhang Tata missed their best opportunity to enter.

Xie Xiaohua also withdrew her gaze and looked at Su Mo again.

Su Mo said, "As early as the Ming Dynasty, the Zhang family had already formulated a site selection plan for the Zhang Family Ancient Building to be moved to Banna. So during the Ming Dynasty, they burned down the forests here and planted usable timber. After hundreds of years of growth, these timbers grew in the entire mountain area near Yangjiao Mountain. The craftsmen used local materials, felled them evenly, and built the ancient building in a dense manner!"

Xie Xiaohua asked, puzzled, "But what does this have to do with Emperor Qianlong?"

Su Mo said, "During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, on the surface, the world was at peace. Emperor Qianlong was extremely self-satisfied throughout his life. He was the longest-lived emperor of the Qing Dynasty. In his old age, he remembered the secret archives about Guangxi left behind by the Ming Dynasty imperial palace, and began to seek the way to immortality..."

"At that time, the Zhang family had close ties with the royal family for generations, so the Zhang family told Emperor Qianlong the secret of the Ten Thousand Mountains!"

"When Emperor Qianlong learned of this, he was naturally very interested, and thus the Zhang family received the protection of the Manchu Tartars..."

"From then on, the Zhang family was bound to the chariot of imperial immortality for generations. From Qianlong to Jiaqing, from Jiaqing to Daoguang, from Daoguang to Xianfeng, and into modern times, the Zhang family served the emperors in Guangxi while also seeking the elixir of immortality!"

"However, all that the Zhang family did was, of course, for their own selfish reasons. They possessed lifespans far exceeding those of ordinary people, and in essence, they still looked down on this secular emperor..."

Su Mo did not hide anything and truthfully told his disciple about these secrets.

"oh oh…"

Xie Xiaohua suddenly realized, "So that's how it is..."

The three walked and talked, and soon they reached the outer perimeter of the ancient building. "My goodness, the Zhang Family Ancient Building is built inside such a mountain, it's really magnificent!" Wu Xie exclaimed.

It must be admitted that although Zhangjia Ancient Building is gloomy, it is indeed magnificent from an architectural point of view.

The three of them stood at a distance and could see the outline of the Zhang Family Ancient Building. It stood there inside the mountain, and looking down, it looked like a bottomless abyss, making people afraid to look at it for more than a few seconds.

All the buildings were made of rock and wooden beams, and there was a faint white layer covering them, but the bridge beneath their feet was clean and free of this white substance.

Su Mo said, "This is baking soda!"

Because a toxic gas was activated at the Zhang Family Ancient Building, alkali powder was scattered on the surface of the building.

Xie Xiaohua said, "It seems the poison gas really is ubiquitous; no place is spared. Fortunately, there's no alkali powder on our road..."

Su Mo said, "Because we are on the right path, and this path is the funeral route."

Wu Xie asked, "The funeral route? The route of the Zhang family's funeral procession?"

Su Mo said, "That's right, and this is the only correct path. Taking this route won't trigger the poison gas trap; otherwise, it would definitely trigger it..."

Wu Xie's expression changed. "Little Brother and the others encountered alkali powder?"

Although Wu Xie asked the question, he already had the answer in his heart. The white alkaline powder on the ancient building was obviously from a recent occurrence, which coincided with the time when Zhang Qiling and the others entered.

"Then let's rush in and rescue them!"

Wu Xie was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He kept holding back, not wanting to think about what might happen to Zhang Qiling, and he dared not even imagine it.

With Zhang Tata's accident as an example, Wu Xie didn't want Xiao Ge to become that terrifying person.
