Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

As Xie Yuchen slowly stepped into the mysterious and ancient third door, time seemed to freeze at this moment. Everyone's eyes were fixed on his back that gradually disappeared behind the door. However, in the next second, a shocking scene happened - Xie Yuchen, who had been facing away from everyone, suddenly smiled an extremely weird smile without any warning.

That smile was like a flash of lightning across the night sky, instantly illuminating the dim surroundings, but it also gave people a creepy feeling. At the same time, a cold voice that seemed to come from the Netherworld and had a distinct mechanical texture suddenly exploded in everyone's ears: "Come on! This is your final destination!"

This sudden sound seemed to have some kind of magic, causing everyone present to shudder involuntarily. For a moment, everyone stopped and looked at each other, no one dared to take another step forward, fearing that the unknown fear would completely swallow them up.

However, there are always various personalities and courage in the crowd. Some people are as timid as mice, and at this moment they are frightened to the point of being pale and trembling all over; but there are also some brave people who are relatively calm in this situation.

One of them shouted loudly: "What are you afraid of? When we went to the underground before, we encountered all kinds of strange curses. But in the end, which one of them really came true? These are just things to scare people!"

Another person echoed, "That's right! My family is so poor, I am not afraid of poverty, so how could I be afraid of this inexplicable statement that came out of nowhere?" Before he finished speaking, he raised his foot and followed Xie Yuchen without hesitation, stepping into the mysterious stone door together. Huo Xiangu, who was standing aside, stared at the huge stone door that had already opened, and her eyes were also shining with irrepressible expectation. Although her body was exhausted at this moment, the motivation that supported her to trek here was not just to find the whereabouts of her daughter Huo Ling. For a long time, there has been a legend about the Zhang family's ancient building circulating in the world - it is said that the secret of immortality is hidden in this ancient building.

Once a famous beauty in Sand City, the years have left their mark on her face. How can she be willing to watch her youth slip away? Therefore, even though she was ridiculed by Xie Yuchen along the way, she still walked here firmly.

Unlike Huo Xian Mushroom, Xia was more impressed that he seemed to be one step closer to what the boss needed. However, just as the last person in the team completely stepped into the stone door, the heavy stone door began to slowly close.

Just as the stone gate was about to close, a man walking at the end of the team suddenly turned around, with a chilling evil smile on his face, and stared at the Wang family who were approaching them step by step.

The Wang family led by Mr. Wang arrived at the third stone gate just before they could make any moves. The Wang family followed Mr. Wang and saw that man suddenly swung his arm, as fast as lightning. In an instant, a black shadow shot out from his palm like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye it passed through the stone gate and fell to the ground.

It turned out that the Wang family had not left, but had carefully followed the clues left by the undercover agents hidden in the large army, and moved forward step by step. Along the way, they did not encounter any obstacles, and it was smooth sailing.

Suddenly, someone in the Wang family team quickly stepped forward, bent down and picked up the object that had fallen on the ground. Then, this person quickly returned to the front of the team and respectfully handed the object to the leader, Mr. Wang, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Wang, look, this should be left by one of our people."

Mr. Wang took something from the man, which was a piece of cloth wrapped with a stone. Mr. Wang threw away the stone and unfolded the cloth. There were only a few simple numbers written on it. It turned out that those numbers were Morse code. You only need to decipher the code to know what was written on it.

Mr. Wang smiled after reading it and informed everyone according to the information recorded on the cloth. Everyone also smiled, and then began to successfully open the third stone door according to the information.

An unprecedented enthusiasm burst out from the eyes of the Wang family. This was the first time they were so close to immortality.

However, reality dealt them a heavy blow. When the Wang family stepped into the third stone door, they suddenly heard these words, "Welcome! My friends, I have prepared the place of rebirth for you!"

The Wang family sneered at this and said, "The Zhang family has really fallen on hard times. They even resorted to tricks like this to scare children. It's really ridiculous." After saying that, they ignored them and walked straight into the stone gate.

Hua Yu noticed the moment Xie Yuchen stepped into the Zhang family's ancient building, "Xiaohua is here, should we wait for Xiaohua here and go in together? Or should we go in and wait for him?"

Zhang Qiling narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly scanned the surrounding environment. Everywhere he looked, there was nothing but emptiness and desolation, which made people feel cold. He said softly: "Go inside and wait, this place is too desolate."

Zhang Haike, Zhang Hailong and Zhang Haijun, who followed Zhang Qiling and Hua Yu, wanted to refute after hearing this, but facing the desolate scene in front of them, they really couldn't find any reason to refute. Indeed, there was nothing outside the Zhang family's ancient building except bare land, only a pool of water emitting a foul odor and a steep mountain wall standing there.

Hua Yu followed Zhang Qiling carefully, her eyes fixed on his movements as he slowly pushed open the door of the ancient building. At the moment the door was pushed open, a thick cloud of dust rushed towards her like a surging wave, and the defenseless Hua Yu was instantly choked and coughed non-stop. She quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hands, turned around and ran towards the open space in embarrassment.

After the flying dust finally settled, Hua Yu stopped and gasped. After calming down a little, he quickly returned to Zhang Qiling. At this time, Hua Yu still covered his mouth with one hand, and waved the other hand vigorously, trying to disperse the dust lingering around him.

Just as she was concentrating on driving away the dust, she inadvertently raised her head and froze in her tracks. In just a moment, Hua Yu seemed to have seen the funniest thing in the world, and suddenly burst into a deafening laugh, which was like rolling thunder, resounding throughout the valley.

"Hahahahahahahaha... Don't you ever clean the Zhang family's ancestral tomb? Why is there so much dust? Look, it has turned my brother into a dirty big cat, and even his hair has turned white!" Hua Yu laughed so hard that she fell backwards, pointing at Zhang Qiling's head and face covered with dust, and teased with great delight.

Zhang Haike and others also saw the appearance of Zhang Qiling who pushed the door at the moment when the dust settled. His hair was covered with dust, and it looked all white from a distance. Even his face was covered with dust, which made him look whiter than the dead person in the coffin.

Unfortunately, among all the people here, only Hua Yu dared to laugh out loud without any scruples, and the rest of them, even if they made a little noise, would probably have a bad ending after they left. You know, their family leader is a typical "white-cut black" character, who looks honest and ignorant on the surface, as if he knows nothing about the world, but in fact, he has so many tricks in his heart that even the densely packed beehive has to admit defeat.

While Hua Yu was still immersed in laughter, Zhang Qiling seized the opportunity, quietly stretched out a hand, and gently stroked his smiling face, leaving a conspicuous gray-white mark in an instant. Then, Zhang Qiling chanted something and performed a magical cleansing spell. In the blink of an eye, not only were the dirty things on his clothes cleaned up, but these filth flew straight into the stinking ditch in front of the ancient building as if being pulled by some mysterious force.

Seeing Zhang Qiling tidy herself up so quickly, Hua Yu realized that she could not indulge herself like this any longer, so she restrained the smile on her face a little, and instead held Zhang Qiling's hand tightly, and the two of them skipped into the Zhang family's ancient building that countless people longed for.

In fact, the reason why they came here this time was entirely because Hua Yu was full of curiosity and anticipation about the legendary Zhang family ancient building. He really wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of unique and wonderful features this place that attracted so many people was.
