Ancient Sword II: The Tracking of the Fierce Mountain

Chapter 170: The Eighth Key

Who would have thought that besides the seven keys, there would be an eighth identical key.

Is it true or false?

"Where did you get it from?" Shen Ye finally showed a dignified expression, but Huang Jue was no longer in the mood to appreciate it: "Nuwa's tomb."

"The main tomb?"

"Yes." Huang Jue twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, "If I hadn't seen you asking for this thing, I wouldn't have done it."

Shen Ye's sharp eyes were directed at Huang Jue, but the other's face remained calm and calm.

"Aye..." Xie Yi's brows were a little serious.

Shen Ye nodded, and took out the brocade box he got from Liu He.The two palm-sized brocade boxes are made of the same material and texture, and there is no difference at all in comparison.

Shen Ye frowned more and more, his face was as cold as ice.

Have an extra key?How can it be!

Seeing that Shen Ye's gaze became terrifying, Huang Jue said, "I'm not sure if the one from the Liu family is real, and I don't know if the one I got is real." He already knew that the rest of the keys were in the Shen Ye had it, so when he got this brocade box and came back and heard that the Liu family also had one, the shock in his heart was not fake.

Huang Qi suddenly said, "How do you know that what you have is real?"

Huang Qi kicked the ball beautifully, and when these words came out, the three of Shen Ye's faces turned ugly.

Indeed, whether the key was genuine or not, they never verified it.

Shen Ye rubbed the center of his brows: "I understand, I will accept this thing for now, wait for my news."

Huang Jue didn't force it: "That's fine." The things had already been delivered, and there was no need for them to stay here, so Huang Jue took everyone away immediately.

Familiar but slightly strange faces gradually faded away, leaving Shen Ye and the three of them standing in place.

A gust of wind blows, bringing a trace of freshness, but the previous dullness is stagnant and unwilling to flow.

"A Ye, let's go back." Xie Yi said, his eyes still glued to the two brocade boxes.

Next, I am afraid there will be some troubles.

"Forget it." Shen Ye sighed, turned and left.

The yacht stopped at the old place, and Shen Ye walked up it calmly after putting away all the brocade boxes.

The five people who came together stayed peacefully in the wheelhouse, and when they saw Shen Ye coming down, they all looked excited.

"Let's go back to Longbing Island." Shen Ye said.

"Yes!" The five of them said in unison, never mentioning Shen Ye's stay.

Shen Ye ordered a few words casually, and returned to the deck again.

On the deck, Le Wuyi and Xie Yi were talking together, the atmosphere was much better than before.I don't know what Le Wuyi said, but Xie Yi couldn't help laughing.

"Why, why are you so happy?" Shen Ye stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Xie Yi's waist very habitually.

Le Wuyi lost interest all of a sudden, and said embarrassingly, "It's nothing, I'm talking nonsense."

"Oh?" Shen Ye raised his voice.

Le Wuyi immediately changed his words: "Of course it's about the key, I said you can use carbon-14 to test it." Seeing Shen Ye's unpredictable appearance, he lowered his head, "So didn't you just say it, nonsense."

The exact same brocade box, Le Wuyi didn't think that such a thing would leave obvious flaws, so he joked with Xie Yi that he would use scientific methods to try it.Who would have thought that Shen Ye would catch him right after he finished speaking.

As expected, he and Tai Shifu were at odds, and Le Wuyi secretly slandered.

I don't want Shen Ye to say: "It can be regarded as a method."

"Ah?" Le Wuyi was dumbfounded.

"If it's an imitation that just appeared recently, the year must be different. This is indeed the easiest way," Shen Ye rarely praised Le Wuyi, "Good job."

Seeing Xie Yi's expression of approval, Le Wuyi was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

Meow meow, is it really okay?Just now Master laughed, thinking he was comforting himself again.

Facts have proved that Le Wuyi really hit it by mistake, and the blind cat picked up the dead mouse.The seven brocade boxes, which even antique experts could not identify, were found to be different after carbon-14 testing.

So some things don't have to be overly complicated.

In the silence, Shen Ye put the appraisal report on the table: "So, with this extra one, the year is ancient instead?"

Hitomi nodded: "Indeed."

Xie Yi picked up the identification report: "This is a strange thing."

The seven keys have exactly the same production process and the same material, so it can be said with certainty that they came from the same person.But from the inner wall of the brocade box, everyone detected a difference—the wood on the inner wall of one of the brocade boxes was less than a hundred years old.

Shen Ye held the brocade box in his hand: "You mean, this one was made first? It took a hundred years before these six?"

Hitomi nodded.

Shen Ye frowned and remained silent.

That is to say, someone made one key at the beginning, and for some unknown reason a hundred years later, that person made seven more (plus the ones already in the snow mountain), and cast the first key into a new brocade box .

Why?And in this way, is this key still a fake?

"Could it be that the original site was discovered?" Xie Yi guessed, "In order to prevent outsiders from invading, so there is another door added in addition to the first one?"

Shen Ye nodded and said, "It's not impossible."

Xie Yi said: "If it is true, then these seven keys are all real."

"It can be understood in this way." Hitomi said lightly.

Xie Yi smiled: "Looking at it this way, it's a surprise."

"Yes, yes," Le Wuyi agreed, "At first I thought it was fake."

Shen Ye glanced at Le Wuyi: "Do you think the Liu family will send fake ones over?" Since this key is the key to open the door, the Liu family will not send fake ones over.There are many traps in the mausoleum, and instead of plotting against Longbingyu from the very beginning, the Liu family might as well make a surprise attack when they are about to succeed.

So in the eyes of the Liu family, the key must be real.It's just that what it is used to open is still unclear.

Le Wuyi got stuck, shut up obediently.

"Tell me, does Liu He know what's special about this key?" Shen Ye asked suddenly.

To this, no one can answer.

"Oh..." Le Wuyi couldn't help but sighed, "Whether it's about the key, or about the Liu family and the Huang family, why are they all so troublesome?"

Tong Tong said, "I agree with that." He looked at Shen Ye, "Ah Ye, what about you? Did the Liu family and the Huang family see anything unusual?"

Shen Ye didn't intend to hide it: "The Liu family can't see it for the time being, but the Huang family is full of loopholes."

"Ah?" Le Wuyi was taken aback, "Is it so obvious? Why can't I see it?"

It can be said that Le Wuyi always felt that the Liu and Huang families made him feel intimidated, but he couldn't tell where he was intimidated.After all, he had too little contact with those two families and was not familiar with each other.

Shen Ye looked at Le Wuyi critically, and said with a sneer, "You can understand after I tell you?"

"..."

Le Wuyi hates to slander, Grand Master, you are discriminatory!Just thinking about it, he can still think of some weird places.For example, Huangyan and the others...they...is there anything wrong with them?

Seeing Le Wuyi contemplating hard, twisting his entire face in tangled up, Xie Yi smiled and sighed: "It's just the same, it's an extremely strange thing just to die and come back to life."

After all, how do you know it's really dead and back, and not someone else taking its place.

Le Wuyi clapped his hands: "Meow meow, that's right!" Why did he forget the most basic thing.

But Shen Ye was obviously thinking more than this: "There is also the so-called Buluo of the Huang family who has returned, which is obviously not the case."

"Ah?" Le Wuyi thought for a while, and a smiling face flashed in his mind, "By the way...Huang Hua is not here."

Huang Yan and the others got out of the car one by one before, and he didn't notice that there were too many people for a while. Looking back now, the Huang Hua who was always smiling and rushing to the front was indeed not there.

Huang Hua in the Shashan tomb has already turned into a snake man.

Such an obvious reminder can be forgotten, Shen Ye once again disliked Sun Yi, but he still said: "Do you still remember what he reminded us when we met Huang Yan?"

Le Wuyi was taken aback for a moment, but recalled Huang Yan who was covered in blood at that time, and told Huang Hua's changes one by one with a wry smile.

"That's right," Le Wuyi murmured, "Huang Yan clearly said at the beginning that the so-called elixir of life is nothing more than transforming humans into snake humans."

Huang Hua got the favor of the snake man, but ended up becoming a snake man.What about Huang Jue and the others?Does this so-called snake Gu really exist?

"It really makes sense," Xie Yi lowered his head in thought. "The reason why Huang Hua didn't appear together is because he became a snake-man. The body of a snake-man cannot exist in human society."

Shen Ye interjected, "Human bodies are different."

"From this point of view, Huang Qi's recovery is also open to question."

Xie Yi and Shen Ye, you said one sentence to another, and the goosebumps rose up: "Meow meow, can't you? Grand Master, you want to talk about resurrecting the soul with a dead body? This is even more unreliable?"

Shen Ye glared at Le Wuyi: "It's just a guess, as long as you know something is wrong with them, that's enough."

Le Wuyi rubbed his arms and wanted to cry, "Oh."

Shen Ye said: "In any case, these two families must cooperate with us, there is nothing wrong with taking precautions."

Xie Yi nodded: "Yes, compared to these two families, I am more worried about the key."

Le Wuyi blinked, why did he come back to this question again?

Xie Yi said: "What I'm worried about is that the key in this brocade box is still not the original one."

Tong said: "You mean..."

Xie Yi was worried: "If it is to confuse the public, why can't the key inside the brocade box be replaced? Or, the first door does not need only this key?"

What if the keys are all fake?

What if the order is wrong?

If this speculation continues, it will become more and more complicated and difficult to sort out.

Shen Ye had a headache and said: "That's the end of this matter, take all these seven keys."

Xie Yi and Tong looked at each other, for now, that's all there is to it.
