Chapter 97 Homecoming, Laojiumen
“Huh?”
Axiang’s little face turned red instantly, she was trembling even when she spoke, and her pupils were shaking.
“Take off... all of it?!”
Hearing this, Chen Ze nodded naturally, but looked at the girl covering her chest, thought for a moment, and then continued.
"Just cover it with your hands."
Axiang: "..."
After a while.
In the room where the candlelight was extinguished.
Axiang clasped her hands in front of her chest, exuding a large expanse of snow-white, and her smooth back outlined a moving arc.
She only felt that her head was dizzy, she began to think uncontrollably, and her delicate body was trembling slightly.
At this time, Chen Ze also saw that the phoenix pattern appeared again on Axiang's fair back, but it was not clear.
Seeing this scene, he did not hesitate at all. He reached out and took out the delicate Tibetan Sea Flower, used his innate moment to crush it into a ball of bright red liquid, and smeared it directly on the Phoenix Tattoo.
“Well——”
In an instant, Axiang let out a soft hum, as if she was in some pain, and her body was tense.
The originally blurry phoenix tattoo suddenly seemed to be ignited and started to flow, faintly transforming into the shocking image of a phoenix spreading its wings and burning the sky.
Half an hour later.
It's all over.
Chen Ze stopped his men's movements, looked at the lifelike phoenix tattoo on Axiang's back, and faintly felt a powerful blood power.
He can be sure that in the future, through training, Axiang will definitely become a strong person who is not weaker than Zhang Qiling.
But in front of her, Axiang's face was already red, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at Chen Ze. She silently put on her clothes again, her heart pounding.
This moment.
Chen Ze got out of bed and said in a deep voice.
"If you are tired, just take a good rest."
As he said that, he had walked to the window without knowing it, and opened the window casually.
Suddenly a cold wind blew across his face, blowing away a lot of inner restlessness.
Under the moonlight, the snow is like white jade, and the world in front of you is like a crystal palace, spotless.
The snow light reflected on Chen Ze's face, making it look darker and darker.
Axiang, who was behind her, put on her clothes and got out of bed. She looked at the man's sharp profile, but she didn't have the courage to walk over.
However, her eyes moved.
Under the light of the moonlight, Chen Zexin's long shadow was reflected on the wall.
Seeing this scene, Axiang couldn't help but move a few steps and tilted her head slightly.
This moment.
On the wall, the girl's reflection relies on the man's shadow, as if they are frozen together forever.
Three days later.
In the vast snowy sky, in the Zen room of the Lama Temple, the illusion finally dissipated and everything returned to silence.
Zhang Qiling raised her head, her vision blurred, and her heart was filled with emotions she had never experienced before.
For a long time, he walked out of the room in silence. His legs seemed to have lost strength in an instant, and he knelt down in the snow and curled up into a ball.
In a trance, I seemed to see the child in front of the woman in white gazing lovingly, slowly walking away.
This time, after waiting for decades, she can finally sleep with peace of mind forever.
Because that boy from the Zhang family is no longer a stubborn person who fulfills his destiny, but a person who truly has a heart.
He has his own partner and a way forward.
This day.
In the wind and snow, Zhang Qiling knelt down in front of the brand new tombstone and carved a stone statue of himself to guard him.
And, on the statue of himself, a tear was carved.
Although the training he had received from the Zhang family had made him almost lose the ability to express emotions, the statue was what he felt in his heart.
This moment.
He kowtowed heavily to the tombstone, then turned and left, walking in the direction of Chen Ze and Axiang.
The wind and snow suddenly started to rise behind me, which seemed to be Baima's last farewell.
On the train back to Beijing, the long whistle sounded like a hasty farewell, and it gradually drove out of this snowy plateau.
The exploration of the Snow Demon Kingdom has come to an end.
But this moment.
In the soft sleeper box.
Chen Ze's deep eyes stared at the continuous ice and snow mountains outside the window, and he had a premonition in his heart.
They will eventually return to this vast plateau to find the secrets of the legendary ancient kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West.
As for Axiang's big, watery eyes, she was also looking out the window. She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and drew the appearance of a snow-capped mountain on the glass with her fingers.
But at this time.
Zhang Qiling, who had always been silent on the opposite side, spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Chen Ze, how much do you know about the Zhang family?"
Hearing this, Chen Ze looked up, with a trace of surprise in his eyes.
In a daze, he noticed a hint of suppressed hatred deep in his younger brother's indifferent eyes.
In other words, it is a desire for destruction. Obviously, the tragedy of his mother Baima may have given Zhang Qiling the idea of ending the family's fate for the first time.
He is no longer as careless as grass and trees, and naturally he will also feel love and hate.
Thinking of this, Chen Ze didn’t hide anything and said straightforwardly.
"Actually, I don't know much. I only know that your Zhang family has guarded the ultimate secret called the Bronze Gate for generations."
"Now the Zhang family has become a It fell apart, and most of the tribesmen were anonymous and scattered across the country."
When he said this, he turned his eyes and said quietly.
“However, in Changsha, your maternal wife of the Zhang family is still publicly known as the head of the nine old families in Changsha.”
“The name of the head of your maternal family is Zhang Qishan, known as Zhang Dafo Ye, do you have any impression of him? ”
In the memory, Zhang Qiling, who had already lost part of his memory when the Zhang family's internal family declined, hoped to join forces with the old nine gates to protect the Bronze Gate.
Zhang Qishan, who was the admiral of the Nine Sects at the time, agreed to the younger brother's request in order to find the secret of immortality for the organization.
Subsequently, Laojiumen, with Zhang Qiling as the leader, launched the largest tomb robbing activity in history, seeking a way to enter the ancient Zhang family building.
However, in the end, the largest tomb robbery in history resulted in heavy casualties. Zhang Qishan passed the blame to his younger brother, and under the instructions of the organization, nine gates were bloodbathed.
Subsequently, with the efforts of the Huo family, the Jie family, and the Wu family, although the younger brother's life was saved, he was also imprisoned in the Golmud Sanatorium and tortured as a test subject for nearly twenty years.
This moment.
Hearing the name of Lord Zhang Dafo, Zhang Qiling’s eyes flashed with confusion.
He vaguely remembered this name and the name of Laojiumen, but there was still too much information that he could not recall.
"I only remember that Jiumen and I teamed up to rob the tomb. We seemed to have encountered great danger and ultimately failed."
Hearing this, Chen Ze's eyes moved and he couldn't help but say.
"That's right, you were imprisoned in Golmud Sanatorium after that."
"It's just that the nine gates that promised you to jointly guard the Bronze Gate, but no one kept their promise."
Said, His tone couldn't help but feel a little colder.
"Maybe you don't care, but as an employee of Longteng now, sooner or later, you will have to settle this account with Laojiumen."
Even if Zhang Qiling is not involved, the Laojiumen There is a huge industrial chain of antique trading, and sooner or later I will get involved in it and master it.
The words fell.
Zhang Qiling did not speak, but nodded slowly.
Now for him, he has complete trust in Chen Ze, and he is willing to go through fire and water.
At this moment.
Chen Ze said no more and turned his eyes to the window, thinking about the current situation in his mind.
In memory, although the Changsha Laojiu Sect has suffered a major purge, it has almost withered away.
However, the centipede is dead but not stiff.
Lao Jiumen has also prepared for a rainy day and preserved the second generation of new generation forces such as Wu Sansheng, Huo Ling, Jie Lianhuan, etc.
At the same time, the Wang family, which secretly controls everything, also controls the foreign capital group headed by Jude Kao, always prying into the secret of the Bronze Gate.
In addition, there are Chen Qing faction forces from the organization, who are also secretly pursuing the secret of immortality.
And now, as he recruited Zhang Qiling into the game, he naturally stepped into this game.
Besides, Chen Ze knew very well that since he had the blood of the red dragon, the Chen family must also be involved in the mystery of immortality.
Even if you want to escape, you will eventually be involved. It is better to take the initiative and take the initiative.
As the saying goes, Haofeng relies on strength, and he also needs to use the power of the tomb-robber families such as Laojiu Men, Wang Family, etc. to explore the truth hidden behind it.
It seems that it is time to get in touch with forces like Laojiumen.
However, he had a hunch that the bright weapons he asked Hu Bayi and others to bring back for sale might attract the attention of these forces.
The train left the snowy plateau all the way east and arrived in Kyoto again.
As soon as they got off the car, Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang and others, who had already learned the news through the Dragon Token, came to greet them one after another.
"Master Chen, you are finally back, haha!"
"Brother Chen, Brother Zhang, and Axiang, did you have a smooth journey along the way?"
"I thought you had forgotten us all, Chen Ze, you have to take me with you next time."
After some pleasantries, the reunited people also laughed all the way and drove back to Panjiayuan.
On the way.
Fatty Wang angrily rebuked Uncle Ming for his shameless behavior, saying that the treasures filling the courtyard were all high imitations.
In the end, the pictures of Concubine Yang holding jade in her mouth and the picture of Luoxia Qiniu that he took out at the beginning were genuine and had been sent to Longteng for safekeeping.
Chen Ze had expected this, but he didn't care.
After all, Uncle Ming, who once ran a boat in the South China Sea, will still be of some use to the next trip to the ruins.
However, when it comes to selling the ordinary jewelry they brought back, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang also asked Da Jinya to find some underground antique dealers to sell them.
They also approached the Crescent Hotel, but after all, they were ordinary artifacts and could not be put on the auction block.
It is worth mentioning that in the end, Da Jinya told the two of them that almost all of the jewelry was bought by a woman named Huo.
And they were generous, giving him a huge sum of five million directly in person, claiming that they would buy all the bright weapons they sent to him at a high price in the future.
Hearing this, Chen Ze's deep eyes flashed with light, and he thought to himself.
Could the woman named Huo be from the Huo family...
Actually, he didn't expect those ordinary weapons to impress the Crescent Hotel, but to attract the attention of the nine powers.
Especially Xia Sanmen, which has many sales channels for obvious items, will naturally come to them.
