"Brother Qin, I will let you see something today."
Following that, Zhong Jiuzhen slowly twisted a mechanism on a huge fake mountain rock. The fake mountain rock split into two pieces and flashed towards two sides. A hole suddenly appeared.
Zhong Jiuzhen led the way while Qin Lang followed behind. There was a long flight of stairs at the bottom of the hole. When they walked down the stairs, the hole naturally closed and the lights lit up.
It turned out that Zhong Family had such a secret place. This place was winding and winding like an underground palace. It was obvious that Zhong Jiuzhen trusted Qin Lang to be able to bring them here.
Zhong Jiuzhen casually pushed open a door. The interior of the door was sparkling and Zhong Jiuzhen said with a smile.
"Brother Qin, my family has been collecting treasures for a long time. I can't spend all of them in my generation anymore. The people outside had underestimated the wealth of the Zhong Family. Even all of my family's assets on the ground had been used up. What do you like about these things? Take it. "
Qin Lang was a little surprised, but he didn't really care about money. He said, "Elder Zhong has great foresight. I admire him. I won't take anything. Thank you for your kindness."
Zhong Jiuzhen was stunned and said, "No one will not be moved when they see these jewels. Your brother did not even blink. Fine. The day you and Yu get married, I will take her out. I am not here today to let you take the money. Come with me."
Zhong Jiuzhen let out a long breath when she said this. All of his sons and grandsons were useless. He had already regarded Qin Lang as his closest kin. Other than him and Qin Lang, no one else knew about this underground palace.
After walking to a lot of places, they arrived at an extremely small room. Compared to the other rooms, the decoration here was very ordinary. There was even the smell of soil. After entering, the air was moist and empty. Zhong Jiuzhen's expression was exceptionally solemn. Her brows involuntarily knitted together.
It was unknown which mechanism was triggered and a Buddhist shrine was opened on the wall. Zhong Jiuzhen reached her hand in and carefully took out a white jade item.
Qin Lang's eyes were immediately attracted. This thing was a round white phoenix. Under the light, it gave off a gentle luster. There was not a single flaw on the jade body. One look and one could tell that it was a top grade jade.
The key was the phoenix's head. Its eyes were protruding and its face was ferocious. The ancient people said that dragons and phoenixes were auspicious, but this phoenix had a bit of ferocity. Furthermore, through Qin Lang's keen sixth sense, he immediately sensed the stench of blood. It was ancient and mysterious.
Zhong Jiuzhen gently stroked the jade wall and said, "Qin Lang, have you heard of the Elephant Moon Cult?"
"No, I would like to hear more about it." Qin Lang's expression became somewhat serious. He had a bad feeling that this thing would bring about some unimaginable results.
When he heard Zhong Jiuzhen explain the relationship between the Elephant Moon Cult and the Zhong Family, Qin Lang just listened quietly. He found that as long as he was with the Phoenix Jade Annulus, a long-awaited uneasiness would arise in his heart.
"Qin Lang, the Zhong Family and the Elephant Moon Cult have already become inseparable from each other. On the surface, we will still listen to their orders. However, I have never given this jade wall to anyone. Some of the rules of the Elephant Moon Cult are old and cruel. Once the jade coin fell into the hands of the Elephant Moon Cult, no one knew what kind of accident would happen. Ai, let me tell you, why can't Zhong Yu and I recognize each other despite being so close to each other? It has a lot to do with this jade wall... "
Zhong Jiuzhen was deep in thought. He was a calm person, but he also seemed to be anxious. At this moment, the sound of a bell woke him up from his thoughts. Zhong Jiuzhen was suddenly shocked. He was carrying a high-tech device that was similar to an alarm. It would not make a sound if there was no emergency.
"Let's go!" Zhong Jiuzhen turned around, holding the jade board in her hand, and walked out with big steps. Qin Lang followed closely behind.
...
At this time, there was a sea of wine and meat outside, and there was laughter everywhere. Only Zhong Yu was eating small mouthfuls of food, and from time to time, she would look outside. Why hadn't her grandfather and Qin Lang come back yet?
Knock, knock. Just as she was looking around, she heard the deafening sound of drums coming from outside. Then, the sound of the drums got closer and closer. Two shaking lions slowly walked into the hall. Zhong Xueshan stood up and asked.
"Who let you guys in? We didn't order any lions."
Since Zhong Jiuzhen was not present, Zhong Xueshan took the initiative to take responsibility for the family matters.
The drum-beating person took a step forward and said submissively, "I heard that Uncle Zhong's family held a family banquet. The few of us rushed over eagerly and wanted to receive a few rewards to pass the cold."
Zhong Xueshan took a look and realized that it was the local artiste Lai Er. Lai Er often came to Zhong Family to make a living. Sometimes, he would bring his troupe, sometimes, he would bring his troupe with him, and often, he would play and sing a few words before being sent away by Zhong Family with some money.
"You are smart. There is a thousand yuan here. You can give it to everyone to split it. There is no need for lion dancing."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lion had already started dancing. It was very pleasing to watch as it jumped and danced in the crowd. The human-leg technique of the lion dancer seemed to be very good, as he stepped on Lai Er's drum beats and circled around the field. He received cheers from the entire stadium.
Many people took out their phones and were about to shoot when the lion suddenly stopped. Only Lai Er's drum beats were still beating rapidly. As he was beating, he shouted anxiously: " Hey, you four foreigners don't dare to spoil the mood of the guests. Why are you standing there and not moving? F * ck you..."
Lai Er shouted angrily. Suddenly, the Lion Dance's clothes were removed, revealing four big men with curly hair. Their eyes were dark, and their beards were as hard as iron. Their skin and appearance were clearly not Huaxia people.
"You... What are you doing?!" Lai Er shouted in fear, because the four men were slowly walking towards him. It was no longer his pathetic and wretched appearance from before, but his aura instantly exploded. It was as if they were the ferocious gods in the sky. Then, there was a cracking sound. Lai Er's neck was broken by a pair of furry hands.
Ah? The crowd was in an uproar. Then, the martial masters of the Zhong Family rushed out from various places. Zhong Xueshan still thought that this was just an ordinary criminal case, but he never thought that it was directed at the Zhong Family.
"How dare you commit murder in the Zhong Family? Do you all want to die?" Zhong Xueshan's eyes swept across the four mysterious men. No matter what, he couldn't let them escape today, otherwise, the Zhong Family would lose all their face!
"Are you challenging me?" One of the foreign men spoke in fluent Mandarin. His voice was calm. But for some reason, everyone felt that his voice was as loud as a bell. It instantly penetrated through the gas layer and echoed in the hall.
"Don't think that we don't understand the Chinese language. Lai Er insulted us, so he died. You all will die soon."
These people were wearing strange black clothes. They were surrounded by the Zhong Family, but their facial expressions didn't change, as if they were taking a stroll.
