After three consecutive "open the Fengmen", Fengying nodded in satisfaction and asked Big Golden Tooth: Did you see that? What is called the royal family? This is the majesty of the royal family, otherwise try it yourself and see if the coffin makes way for you.
"Humph! Isn't it just holding an exemption from death gold sign? A toad lording over middle the well, what are you pretending to be, a what 'magic' jeep?" Big Golden Tooth was very aggrieved, but I saw the way he looked at the exemption from death gold sign, he almost drooled.
Big Golden Tooth often went to Panjiayuan, and he was clear about the prices of all kinds of antiques, so naturally he knew how much this exemption from death gold sign was worth.
Before, Big Golden Tooth told me that the value of an antique depends on two main factors: historical significance and rarity.
The rarer the object, the more valuable it is.
In the entire Qing Dynasty, only nine exemption from death gold signs were issued, which was quite rare.
Moreover, in terms of historical significance, history only records eight exemption from death gold signs, which were given to the Eight Great Iron-Capped Kings, and there is no record that the ninth exemption from death gold sign was given to Nurhaci's thirteenth son, Feiyangguo.
Once this gold sign is brought forth by Fengying, it will be re-entered into this history, and the price of the gold sign will also increase significantly.
One thing is foreseeable, as long as this exemption from death gold sign has a price, it will definitely be fought over by some super-rich people.
Through this gold sign, I also discovered that Fengying truly doesn't attach importance to money. If he wants money, he doesn't need to go out to work. He can directly sell some of the treasures passed down from his family and probably live a comfortable life.
So Fengying's high-mindedness is genuine, and cannot be compared with those who seek fame and fortune.
I patted Big Golden Tooth on the shoulder and berated him: What? Still looking? If you have designs on this exemption from death gold sign, Old Feng will make short work of you.
"Oh, Xiao Li, don't embarrass me, I can distinguish between what's important and what's not. Can I dare to tamper with this exemption from death gold sign?" Big Golden Tooth was already timid, and didn't dare to bring up the matter of the exemption from death gold sign.
The old lady laughed on the side and praised me: Young man, I thought you had fallen, but unexpectedly, unexpectedly, your talents have been fully developed in handling secret affairs. Even people from the Qing royal family can be hired, good, good, the grudge of my son can now be avenged.
"Don't say so much, the Fengmen is open, so lead the way." I said to the old lady.
The old lady nodded, hands behind her back, and led us up the mountain.
The mountains on this side are indeed exactly as Fengying described them--to find the dragon, you need to look at the entangled mountains, each entanglement is a different barrier.
The mountains rose and fell, looking like layers of palace walls. It was very difficult. We finally reached the first mountain top. Looking down from the top of the mountain, the terrain of the mountains looked like a maze, so complex that if you didn't know the way, you might get lost in the mountains.
I was just admiring the complex terrain here when suddenly, a faint smell seeped into my nose.
"Ding Kui!"
I immediately shouted: Brothers, pour water on your collar and cover your mouth with your hands, quickly leave this place.
Cheng Yan, Huang Xin, and the others followed my instructions, quickly taking out bottled water from their bags, wetting their sleeves or collars, covering their mouths, and swiftly rushing down from this mountain top to the one below.
Only the old lady did not cover her mouth and followed us calmly.
I ran until I couldn't smell the Ding Kui anymore before shouting at the old lady: What did we agree on at the beginning? When we enter the mountain, we should trust each other. You should know there is Ding Kui here, why didn't you tell us?
The old lady pretended not to hear, saying that she didn't know what Ding Kui was or what it was.
I sneered: Ding Kui is a plant that emits an odor that makes people hallucinate. If someone inhales it, who knows what they will do. You're telling me you don't know that there's Ding Kui here? Hmm?
"The old lady really doesn't know, I'm immune to some hallucinogenic poisons," the old lady insisted.
I sneered again, and said, if you don't know, then how did the seven pallbearers manage to enter this mountain?
"Hehe, hehe," the old lady was exposed by me, and no longer pretended, saying plainly: If you can't even escape from Ding Kui, then you're basically worthless to me, better off dead in this mountain. Now, young man, you seem to have good skills and insight, suitable, suitable for avenging my son.
"Hmph!" I waved my hand and said: Let's continue, and keep covering your nostrils with a moist sleeve or collar!
Cheng Yan touched her frozen face and complained to me, saying that she and Huang Xin had sensitive skin, and always felt like their skin was being cut when they covered it with a water sleeve.
I patiently explained to Cheng Yan and Huang Xin that there are toxic and hallucinogenic gases such as Ding Kui in the mountain, and these gases are dissolved in water. The water sleeve can filter out these gases, so if you don't wear a water sleeve, you can't get out of this mountain.
After hearing my explanation, Huang Xin also advised Cheng Yan, saying that the conditions in the mountain are definitely tougher than in the city, but it's okay, we just have to hold on.
Since Huang Xin spoke up, I explained to Cheng Yan, who naturally didn't have much to say, obediently covering her nose with a water sleeve and continuing to walk forward.
At the waist of the second mountain, the old lady said she needed to go to the bathroom and went into the woods, and I asked Duan Guangyi to follow her from a distance.
Duan Guangyi is skillful, and not afraid of the old lady running away halfway, leaving us stranded in this ghostly mountain.
The old lady and Duan Guangyi were far away from us, and the four of us started a secret meeting.
I said to Da Jinya and Feng Ying, "Old Jin, old Feng, we all need to be careful. This old lady is wicked and doesn't care about our lives at all. She could lead us to our death at any time, so we must be cautious and careful."
"Don't worry, I also noticed that this old lady is not right. Damn, what nonsense did she just say? If we can't even get past Ding Kui, then we're as good as dead," Da Jinya complained unhappily about the old lady's words.
But Feng Ying reminded us: "Ah, you all need to be careful of the old lady, and there's no harm in that. This old lady was raised on human flesh, so her heart is naturally different from ordinary people's. But I also want to remind you, Duan Guangyi, you also need to be careful. I feel that this guy's purpose in coming to Fengmen Mountain is not entirely pure."
"Well, he's here to find the body of his wife," I told Feng Ying and Da Jinya.
Feng Ying shook his head and said to me: "The Stitch Mountain is seven times dangerous, the elixir of eternal life, the essence of nature and creation... Have you heard of this phrase, Xiao Li?"
Of course I have heard this phrase, it represents a legend about the most dangerous mountain range, where there are seven particularly perilous places. Generally, such places hide the elixirs of immortality, but of course, it's not as exaggerated as that, but these elixirs contain the essence of nature and creation, and can enable the possession of the dead, turn bones into flesh, and even awaken the intelligence of plants.
Could it be that Duan Guangyi came to Fengmen Mountain to find this elixir, to bring his wife back from the dead?
This plan sounds crazy, but given Duan Guangyi's deep love for Swallow, maybe he really will try it.
I nodded: "Old Feng, you're right, Duan Guangyi's motives for coming to Fengmen Mountain are really not pure at all.
You see, the 'Sevenfold Danger in the Mountain Range' is not something that just any mountain has. When Emperor Qin Shihuang was searching for the elixir of immortality, the alchemists told him about the legend of the 'Sevenfold Danger in the Mountain Range', but at that time there were no mountain ranges with sevenfold danger in the entire country. The alchemists only heard that such places existed near the Ryukyu Islands, so Emperor Qin Shihuang sent General Xufu with five thousand children to seek the elixir of immortality overseas.
But thousands of years have passed, and no one has ever seen the elixir of immortality, nor have they seen a real 'Sevenfold Danger in the Mountain Range'.
Of course, Fengmen Mountain definitely has the qualifications for a 'Sevenfold Danger in the Mountain Range'; it is quite dangerous, and there are many occult mountain ranges. So if Duan Guangyi is really here to try his luck, it means he is crazy enough and deep enough, and we trust each other through hardships, but Duan Guangyi, maybe he is not to be trusted.
"In that case, let's stick together, all six of us, and watch out a little for Duan Guangyi and the old lady."
As we were talking among the six of us, suddenly I heard a rustling sound behind me.
The sound was very small, but it sounded like the sound of thatch being pressed down.
I quickly turned my head and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a black shadow moving swiftly in the thatch.
"Chase it!" Feng Ying was also armed with two brushes on hand. He grabbed a stone and ran forward. I hurriedly stopped him: Don't move, old wind.
I nodded to Huang Xin and Cheng Yan behind me and said, "Be careful, that's a diversion tactic. Let's wait until everyone is together before we go check it out."
Although Feng Ying was old, he was as fearless as a young man, and impulsive. The only drawback was that he was too easily agitated, even the slightest movement of the grass could agitate his nerves.
"I'll listen to you, you young man are not bad, quite calm," Feng Ying seemed to greatly appreciate my character.
"Of course, after so many years, dealing with shady people is about using your head. Their minds and attitudes are not simple at all," Da Jinya spoke, adding some cynicism.
Feng Ying responded to Da Jinya: "Whatever, in a group with shady people like you, who never uses your brain, everything has to rely on them to come up with ideas."
"Hmph!" Da Jinya couldn't be bothered with Feng Ying.
Huang Xin felt a little guilty, saying that she was holding us back.
I told Huang Xin, "Before we entered Fengmen, I might have said that you and Cheng Yan held us back, but now that we're in Fengmen, let go of those thoughts. We're all part of the group, everyone has their role to play, that's team spirit!"
"Okay!" Huang Xin nodded heavily.
The six of us sat on the ground again, drinking water and chatting, unconsciously, half an hour had passed, but we still didn't see any sign of Duan Guangyi and the old lady.
"Could something have happened?" Da Jinya asked me.
