Chapter 417
Inside the dimly lit bronze door, filled with an aura of the unknown, Wu Tianzhen's words were like a thunderbolt, shattering the surrounding silence and shaking the hearts of everyone present. The information revealed in his words made the already complex situation even more perplexing, as if every stone wall and every pipe held a secret.
"Everyone listen to me."
Wu Tianzhen took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound more composed.
“My previous interpretation was indeed flawed, but it was not intentional on my part. Rather, it is because these ancient scripts are not as simple as they appear on the surface.”
He gently stroked the ancient characters on the wall that shimmered with a faint light, his eyes sparkling with a thirst for knowledge and awe.
"These characters are actually an ancient code. They are not arranged in our usual reading order, but need to be recombinated and interpreted according to certain specific rules."
Wu Tianzhen's words revealed an indescribable excitement, as if he was about to uncover a secret that had been sealed for thousands of years.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and then gathered around, their eyes fixed on the seemingly chaotic text.
Under Wu Tianzhen's guidance, they began to try to rearrange the text in different ways, hoping to find the truth hidden within.
"look here!"
Wu Tianzhen pointed to a seemingly ordinary sequence of text.
“If we rearrange these words in the order of ‘sun, moon, and stars,’ we will get a new sentence.”
As he spoke, he quickly sketched a new string of characters on the paper and read it aloud softly:
“‘The bronze gate is not a gate to enter, but a cage to lure the enemy, and a key to guarding secrets.’”
As Wu Tianzhen finished speaking, the entire space seemed to tremble.
This statement not only reveals the true purpose of the bronze door, but also reveals the profound intention behind the construction of this door by the Zhang family ancestors.
Zhang Hao, Fatty, and the others were all shocked. They never expected that such a seemingly ordinary bronze door would hide such a complex secret.
So, how exactly does this trap work?
Zhang Hao broke the silence first, his gaze fixed intently on Wu Tianzhen.
Wu Tianzhen nodded slightly and continued:
"Based on my speculation, the Zhang family ancestors foresaw the threat of that mysterious force when they built this bronze gate."
They knew that this power was not only incredibly strong, but was also constantly spreading and expanding.
To stop its advance and protect the peace of the world, the Zhang family ancestors decided to build a bronze gate as a barrier.
"but!"
Wu Tianzhen then changed the subject.
"That mysterious force is no ordinary being either; it also possesses great wisdom and power."
After learning of the Zhang family ancestor's plan, it secretly controlled a group of people in an attempt to sabotage the construction of the bronze gate.
To deal with this crisis, the Zhang family ancestors had to make a bold decision—to build a fake bronze gate and deliberately leave clues to lure the controlled people to Kham.
"Kamba Luo?"
Upon hearing this, the fat man frowned.
“We had heard some legends about this place before, but we never expected it to be related to this matter.”
Wu Tianzhen nodded in agreement:
"Yes, Kangbaluo is an ancient and mysterious village located on the edge of this land, relatively isolated from the outside world."
The Zhang family ancestors chose this place as the end of the trap partly because the terrain here is complex and easy to defend but difficult to attack;
On the other hand, it's because the people here worship an ancient deity, a belief that, to some extent, can restrain the influence of that mysterious force.
