Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Xie Yuchen took a light step and slowly moved forward, taking every step carefully. He stopped when he got close to the relief and stared at it with a sharp gaze. After a moment, he began to examine it carefully.

As his vision gradually became clearer, Xie Yuchen couldn't help but be shocked. It turned out that the meticulously carved picture was actually a lifelike picture of a Qilin stepping on a ghost!

At this time, although Fatty Wang and Wu Xie were a little timid, they still followed. When they saw the relief in front of them clearly, their eyes widened instantly, and their bodies stood there blankly as if they were cast under a spell.

Fatty Wang was shocked. He leaned close to Wu Xie's ear and whispered in a low voice, "This pattern... isn't it the one on the ghost seal we saw at Xinyue Hotel? How come it appears here? Could it be that... the ghost seal is the key to open the door here?"

When Wu Xie heard Wang Pangzi's words, he also murmured in his heart, but at the same time he felt that there seemed to be a kind of vague eyes watching them. So, without saying anything, he raised his elbow and hit Wang Pangzi hard, and whispered: "Shut your mouth! Don't you see where you are? You just talk nonsense all day long! What kind of pattern is that? It's just an ordinary Qilin. The family emblem of the Zhang family is Qilin. Isn't it normal to use the family emblem at your own ancestral tomb? Maybe it's just a coincidence. I think someone might have stolen the family emblem of the Zhang family!"

Fatty Wang came to his senses at this moment, as if he had suddenly realized something. While feeling extremely regretful, he raised his hand and slapped his chubby mouth mercilessly, muttering to himself: "Oh, yes, yes, yes! Look at my stinky mouth, I really deserve to be spanked! It's because our top student is well-informed and knowledgeable, unlike me, a rough guy who only knows how to talk nonsense all day and knows nothing!" After saying that, he scratched his head embarrassedly.

Wu Xie on the side cooperated with Wang Pangzi, with a playful smile on his face, echoing Wang Pangzi's words. In this way, the two of them spoke one after another, singing the same tune, as if they really covered up what happened before. However, whether this was really hidden from everyone, I am afraid only they themselves know. Maybe everything seems calm on the surface, but how it will develop in private is unknown.

At this time, Xie Dahe and Zhang Minshan walked forward together. Xie Dahe bowed slightly, looking worried, and asked, "Young Master, in this situation, what should we do next?" Zhang Minshan, who was standing next to him, also stared at Xie Yuchen, waiting for his instructions.

Xie Yuchen raised his head slowly and calmly. His deep and sharp eyes first swept over Xie Da and Zhang Minshan like lightning, and then, as if attracted by a magnet, he moved very slowly but firmly towards the majestic and awe-inspiring Qilin in the distance. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the Qilin's piercing eyes, as if he wanted to see through the cold and hard stone to see the secret hidden in it. After a moment of silence, he said thoughtfully: "Don't be anxious, calm down and look carefully at the Qilin's eyes to see if you can detect anything unusual?" As soon as he finished speaking, he crossed his arms leisurely and embraced his chest, motionless like a sculpture, just silently observing the every move and expression of the two people in front of him with the corner of his eyes.

Hearing Xie Yuchen's words, Xie Da and Zhang Minshan did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly leaned down, almost putting their faces to the ground. They stared with their eyes wide open, rubbing the exquisite relief inch by inch, not missing any subtle details. Time passed by minute by minute, and at this moment, Zhang Minshan suddenly let out a low cry: "Ah! I seem to have discovered something!" I saw that his eyes were fixed on the Qilin's eyes, and he stretched out his right hand and carefully gestured with his fingers, and then compared it with the Qilin's eyes repeatedly. After several attempts, he finally seemed to have found the key. He took a deep breath and tentatively put his index finger and middle finger slowly into the Qilin's eyes. Surprisingly, the two fingers could just fit completely into it, tightly, as if the Qilin's eyes were originally designed for his fingers.

Zhang Minshan was excited, but he resisted the urge to cheer. He turned around and looked up at Xie Yuchen standing on the high ground with excitement, and shouted with a trembling voice: "Young Master, you are really as good as a god! This Qilin Eye is indeed a hidden secret, it is a mechanism. But... I don't know what consequences will be caused once this mechanism is activated, and what unknown things will be opened?"

Xie Yuchen smiled brightly and suddenly shouted, "There are so many of us here, are we still afraid of a small mechanism?"

Xie Da and Zhang Minshan looked at each other and decided to follow Xie Yuchen's arrangement. After all, others were just others, and Xie Yuchen was their master. Zhang Minshan exerted force with his fingers, and everyone was worried but did not dare to disturb him.

There was a rumbling sound coming from the cave, and the wall on their left suddenly dented, revealing a jade platform. However, with the appearance of the jade platform, everyone could clearly feel the temperature in the cave drop.

Everyone carefully observed the surroundings. As far as they could see, except for the jade platform that suddenly appeared before their eyes, the entire cave seemed to have not changed in any obvious way. The huge stone door still stood there alone, its surface as smooth as a mirror, and even the slightest trace of a crack in the door was hard to find.

"What on earth is this mysterious jade platform? Why did the temperature around it suddenly drop as soon as it appeared?" someone couldn't help but murmur to himself.

"Does this mean that we need to lie down on this platform one by one, and then go down to the depths through some unknown route? But there are so many of us, and if we come one after another like this, I don't know how long it will take!" Another person complained with a worried look on his face.

At this time, Xie Yuchen, who was standing in front of the crowd, also heard the whispers of the people behind him. He raised his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and said softly: "Don't worry, everyone, this jade platform is not prepared for us living people, it is a passage prepared for those who have passed away. Of course, if we want to use it to enter the legendary Zhang family ancient building, it is not completely impossible. But... after entering, whether we live or die, we can only leave it to fate! If we are lucky enough, when we find you, we may still be able to feel the faint breath that is still there; but if we are unlucky, I am afraid there will only be a cold corpse waiting for us..." At this point, Xie Yuchen deliberately paused and stopped talking, but everyone knew what he meant by the words he had not finished. For a moment, the whole cave fell into a suffocating silence.
