Chapter 117 The Power of the Bronze Bell
After a busy day, Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin returned to the city in the afternoon.
The two did not go home but went straight to the shop.
However, we didn't go through the main entrance, as the shop's main entrance is near the train station and has a lot of pedestrian traffic.
The two walked through the sparsely populated alley to the backyard of the shop, which was usually used as a warehouse.
Whether it's day or night, there's always an elite disciple with a weapon stationed here.
Because the treasures that the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect bring back from underground are all transported here.
Chen Wenjin and Cheng Feng knocked on the back door of the shop.
Footsteps soon came from inside.
After the door opened, the visitor greeted Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin and then ushered them into the courtyard.
"Boss, the man you had the brothers bring back has been placed in the underground vault."
Cheng Feng responded:
"Alright, don't let anyone come down while I'm in the treasure vault. Even if a team comes back, they should wait until I come out first."
"My subordinate understands!"
Cheng Feng then led Chen Wenjin into the visible warehouse.
Rows of handicrafts and a lot of furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties are displayed here.
The two walked through these areas and finally stopped in front of a display shelf next to the wall.
Chen Wenjin stepped forward and turned a brass animal head on the antique shelf, and then a secret passage appeared in the corner of the floor.
Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin descended the stairs of the secret passage, and after seven or eight minutes they arrived at a huge space comparable to a football field.
"Thanks to you and Xiaoman, otherwise it would have been impossible for us to build such a large warehouse in such a short time."
As Chen Wenjin spoke, he lit the eternal lamp that came from the ancient tomb next to him.
With the lamp oil connected, the various lamps inside lit up one after another, illuminating the entire warehouse.
"When I have time, I'll work with Xiaoman to expand this warehouse a bit more, and then we'll add some small traps."
The two then walked into the warehouse.
At this moment, the place was still somewhat empty, and Cheng Feng was worried about safety, as the treasures in his hands were still in the imaginary space.
All that's left here are the scattered items brought back by the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect, but even they add up to a considerable fortune.
Soon, Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin stopped in front of a bronze cauldron that was over a meter tall.
The bespectacled man was in a coma at the moment, but for safety reasons, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect still tied him to the cauldron.
"What do you plan to do with him?"
Chen Wenjin asked, arms crossed.
"His destination was already planned; disappearing from the face of the earth was a good option."
Cheng Feng activated his Ghost Eye, took out a military water bottle, unscrewed the cap, and poured the water onto the bespectacled man's face.
The bespectacled man shivered and woke up.
"Where is this?"
He shook his slightly uncomfortable neck and looked up at Cheng Feng, asking a question.
Cheng Feng did not answer him, but instead said to Chen Wenjin, "Let me show you a treasure. I got this from the underwater tomb."
After speaking, Cheng Feng activated his Ghost Eye and took out the white coral covered with bronze bells from the imaginary space.
Upon seeing the coral appear out of nowhere, the bespectacled man's eyes widened and his heart began to race.
"How is this possible! Is this some kind of magic?"
Chen Wenjin and Cheng Feng ignored the man; in their minds, the bespectacled man was already dead.
He carefully examined the white coral in front of him and then examined the bronze bell closely.
Chen Wenjin said with doubt, "This white coral isn't particularly precious."
The bronze bell may have some value, but it's hardly a treasure!
"You don't understand, do you? I'll let you experience it for a bit and you'll understand."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng's lips curled into a wicked smile, and then he walked up to Bai Shanhu.
He gently tapped a bronze bell with his fingernail, but because the bells were interconnected,
Soon, a series of bronze bells rang out, which was no less than a piercing sound to Chen Wenjin and the bespectacled man.
"Cheng, Cheng Feng... my head... quick..."
Chen Wenjin clutched her head and swayed precariously, nearly falling over, but fortunately Cheng Feng caught her.
Then Cheng Feng made a small incision on his index finger and placed a smear of blood on Chen Wenjin's philtrum.
"Phew... This thing, this thing is terrifying."
Chen Wenjin was breathing heavily, leaning herself completely against Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng's blood resisted the special effects of the sound waves, allowing her to recover from that indescribable state.
The bespectacled man on the other side didn't receive the same treatment; he was currently screaming and struggling.
Within seconds, his eyes became bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead bulged, making him look extremely painful.
"I plan to use this thing to implement a theft prevention measure."
"If anyone sets it on fire, they'll die one by one, or even a whole group of them."
Cheng Feng looked at the bespectacled man struggling in pain with satisfaction, feeling extremely pleased with the effect of the bronze bell.
Chen Wenjin calmed down a bit, looked down at the bespectacled man, and asked:
"The effect is terrifying. Using this coral tree to make a mechanism would definitely make it much safer."
The sound of the bronze bell began to fade, and the bespectacled man's condition improved somewhat.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cheng Feng squatted down next to the bespectacled man and asked:
“State your name and identity.”
The bespectacled man stared blankly and subconsciously responded:
"My name is xxx, and I am xxx's nephew."
Chen Wenjin's eyes flickered; it turned out that the bronze bell also had a hypnotic effect.
"What is the purpose of your visit to Golmud?"
Cheng Feng continued to ask.
"The goal is... the goal is... immortality."
Cheng Feng then began to extract information from the bespectacled man, gradually increasing the level of detail.
Because of the effect of the bronze bell, the bespectacled man revealed many secrets.
For example, who he works for, the purpose of the organization, the distribution of power, and his recent achievements, etc.
Having obtained the information he wanted to know, Cheng Feng opened his Ghost Eyes without hesitation.
He was banished to the imaginary space, where a large number of Pure Vision Agamas would receive him.
"I didn't expect even those few people to be involved in this matter. No wonder it has such power."
Chen Wenjin found it hard to believe; the names the bespectacled man uttered were all figures whose mere presence could shake the entire capital.
Cheng Feng sighed.
"That's just human nature. Even the First Emperor, with his great talent and ambition, spent countless resources in his pursuit of immortality."
Chen Wenjin leaned silently on Cheng Feng's shoulder; she felt the same way.
Since obtaining the clue to immortality in the Ultimate Realm, she has occasionally thought about trying it out.
"Cheng Feng, don't you yearn for immortality at all?"
Cheng Feng was speechless for a moment. He was longing for something, but he had already achieved immortality, hadn't he?
"I think it depends on luck. Maybe one day we'll be lucky enough to live forever together."
"You have a great attitude, but it's not a good thing if only you can live forever."
Chen Wenjin clearly overestimated Cheng Feng, but what she didn't know was that Cheng Feng's talk of luck was true.
Perhaps the system's rewards will bring out another Longevity Pill, and giving one to Chen Wenjin wouldn't be a bad idea.
