Chapter 795 424: The Ultimate Secret Behind the Bronze Door
The corpse of the headless giant snake continued to slap against the cliff wall, producing strange sounds.
Duan Yun, however, was no longer concerned.
If it had been during his poorest days, he might have considered collecting the snake meat and bones to see if they could fetch any money.
But now, with that room full of Gold Mountain and Silver Mountain still needing to be moved, there's no time for that.
Besides, the snake is so eerie; its meat might drive people insane like the Green Dragon Meat if it gets out. It's better to let it rot here.
The injured Lei Ying was still beautiful, carrying a beautiful corpse on her back; she could only comfort herself by saying she was doubly beautiful.
Her delicate skin remained in goosebumps, owing to her suspicion that there might be something wrong with the beautiful corpse.
The female corpse worshipped in the Snake Head Temple was still in the hidden chamber of the Gu Family.
But she could only grit her teeth and continue, as she was the tributor's daughter, exclusively belonging to Duan Yun.
This is the realization of a tributor's daughter.
At this moment, the path along the cliff edge had come to an end.
In its place was a grand bronze door.
This bronze door extended from the bottom to the top of the entire cave, at least dozens of stories high, looking enormously immense.
A door like this standing underground makes one feel particularly small.
Such a door existed beneath the old house of the Gu Family.
It's hard to imagine what's behind such a door.
The center of the massive bronze door had a keyhole, and due to the size of the door, the keyhole resembled a cavern.
Duan Yun planned to forcibly open this bronze door.
The door looked heavy, but he had plenty of strength; the key was that if he could open even a crack, it might be enough to pass through.
So, he circulated his True Qi, placing his palms on the left and right of the bronze door.
To Little Yin and Lei Ying, this was almost like shaking a tree like a tiny ant.
But at this moment, the bronze door actually moved, bringing forth a rumbling sound.
This is the wonder of Martial Arts, enabling one to accomplish what should only be imagined.
Yet just then, there was a faint firelight streaming through the narrow crack of the door.
Lei Ying reacted, saying, "Wait, don't."
Duan Yun released his grip, and the entire bronze door closed again.
Lei Ying explained, "There is a mechanism on this door, if forcibly opened, it might self-destruct along with whatever is inside."
Duan Yun couldn't help but frown.
It could only be said that the Gu Family was truly evil, creating such insidious mechanisms to block his entry, which was indeed a heinous crime.
At this moment, Lei Ying was already climbing toward the direction of the keyhole with the corpse on her back.
Her movement technique was agile, her posture elegant, like a fairy floating gracefully.
In no time, she reached the position of the keyhole, and instinctively let out an "Eh" sound, saying, "Duan, come and see."
Little Yin retorted, "Is Duan someone you can casually call like that?"
Duan Yun also wanted to retort, but considering the other might have discovered something, he decided to simply "note" her overstepping behavior, planning to reprimand her properly later.
Duan Yun and Little Yin climbed up quickly, arriving at the keyhole.
It could only be said that this door was truly enormous; even a keyhole could accommodate the three of them and a corpse.
"What did you find?" Duan Yun asked.
Lei Ying turned back out of the keyhole, pointing at it, saying, "What do you think this keyhole looks like?"
Duan Yun and Little Yin climbed out as well, sticking to the bronze door as they observed.
Duan Yun was a bit perplexed, but at this moment Little Yin surprisingly reacted, saying, "So that's what it is!"
Duan Yun asked in confusion, "You figured it out?"
Little Yin nodded.
Duan Yun was somewhat puzzled; it was just an ordinary hole, and with his Extraordinary Wisdom there was no reason Little Yin should see through it when he didn't.
But Duan Yun didn't dwell on it, asking, "What exactly is it?"
Little Yin said, "It's that."
As she spoke, her gaze couldn't help but wander downwards, her legs tightened in response.
With such behavior, Duan Yun suddenly understood, saying, "So it's that. But even if it resembles that, is there a use?"
At this moment, Lei Ying pointed inside the keyhole, saying, "Look deeper inside."
Duan Yun and Little Yin looked inside, discovering a protrusion at the very end of the keyhole.
This time, Duan Yun's Extraordinary Wisdom instantly grasped it, saying, "So the key has always been here; what we need to find is the keyhole."
Little Yin retorted, "But this keyhole is quite perverted. Are all the Gu Family members so twisted?"
She quickly remarked, "The key and lock are paired, and mismatching them might explode; where do we find the matching lock now?"
Before her voice had faded, Duan Yun's Extraordinary Wisdom outpaced hers, and together with Lei Ying, shifted their gaze to the beautiful corpse.
Could this beautiful corpse worshipped in the Snake Head Temple be due to this reason?
Duan Yun acted swiftly, grabbing the beautiful corpse and thrusting it forward.
His Dual Masters of Sword and Saber, and his honed skills, were exceedingly powerful and exceptionally stable and precise.
With a smack, a part of the corpse, which already seemed like a crystalline body, pierced into the key.
Next was a rumbling noise, and just like that, the colossal bronze door swung open.
The lock was indeed correctly matched!
The world beyond the bronze door was dim yet not entirely dark.
Silvery, faint lines of light drifted in the air, possessing a kind of decaying beauty.
How to describe this feeling?
It's as if the light had died here.
These faint lines of light were like the corpses of light, floating slenderly.
Beyond the bronze door was a passage filled with these remnants of light.
The stone walls of the passage were inscribed with chaotic writing.
