Chapter 685 It’s Better Not to Know

Gao Yuan first stretched out his hand and pressed it, but it didn't move. He then tried to hold the two jade pendants tightly with one hand and rotate them at the same time, but it didn't move. Finally, he tried to knock, press and twist the runes around the jade pendants, but there was no movement at all.

Zhou Chang didn't believe it in the first place, and said to the white ghost face: "Are you giving up now? The treasure story is simply nonsense."

The white ghost mask's full attention was still fixed on Gao Yuan's hands. His voice was as sharp as a poisonous snake's: "Can you do it with one hand? If not, try using both hands."

Zhou Chang retorted: "Do you want me to remove one of your arms now?"

The white ghost face shut up.

Gao Yuan didn't care, but waved his hand and called Wei Ning over: "You give it a try."

Wei Ning went up to try it, but it didn't work at all. He called two guards to try again, but the stone wall didn't move. The two nodded.

After trying every angle and strength, Zhou Chang even found a rock to sit down and rest: "How about it, what else do you want to try?"

The white ghost face was unwilling: "Let me try it myself."

Zhou Chang also nodded. With so many people surrounding one person, they were not afraid of what tricks the Ghost Face might play.

Under the close surveillance of Gao Yuan and Han Bin, the white ghost mask went up to knock Ningning, took off the jade pendant with linked branches and looked at it over and over again, and then "knocked" on other runes, but to no avail.

"Hey, be careful. Although this jade pendant is broken into two pieces, it is still priceless." Zhou Chang felt distressed when he saw it.

The white ghost face was unwilling to give up and embedded the two crimson jade pendants back into the original Phoenix Eye Rune on the stone wall. He twisted the Phoenix Eye Rune with all his strength and gave up after a long time: "Is this jade pendant fake?"

"I also said that the Tomb of Emperor Xi was fake?" Zhou Chang did not hide his mocking look.

"That's because the jade pendant is cracked, that's why it can't be opened." The voice of the white ghost face was a little out of tune. If his voice had not been disguised, his throat would have been broken by now.

"Heh..." Obviously, the key was broken, and the tomb door was locked forever. Zhou Chang had thought of this possibility a long time ago, but he couldn't admit it. "Who knows if this stone wall is really the door to the tomb of Emperor Xi."

The white ghost mask's eyes narrowed into a slit, he stopped talking, and something began to brew in his mind.

Zhou Chang couldn't wait any longer. He signaled Gao Yuan with his eyes, but still spoke to the white ghost face: "Since the jade pendant is useless, you are a hostage sent here for free. If you are willing to comply, I can give you some gold and silver in exchange. If not, I will have to use you in exchange."

As Zhou Chang spoke, he stood up from the stone he was sitting on, and Gao Yuan once again personally put the knife to the neck of the white ghost mask.

The white ghost face grinned: "You are so smart. What's the point of catching me? If I were valuable, why would I follow you so easily? I am just a guide. From this point of view, Your Highness Prince Yi is not very smart either."

"If that's the case, then we are the same." Zhou Chang was not annoyed, and walked forward to pass by the white ghost face. "As for your value, you will know after trying it out."

After saying that, Zhou Chang came to the stone wall, reached out to take off the two jade pendants, wiped them twice with the hem of his cloak, and put them back into the golden nesting shell.

Unfortunately, the corners of the golden shell had just been damaged by her dagger, so it could not be fixed firmly.

"Click, click..." After trying twice without success, Zhou Chang gave up, put the jade pendant back into his arms, then turned around to look at the white ghost mask.

The white ghost mask trembled when Zhou Chang looked at it coldly.

Zhou Chang raised his hand and signaled Wei Ning to give her a knife.

Wei Ning handed over the knife.

Zhou Chang poked the white ghost's face with the tip of the knife: "You have a special smell, which reminds me of someone. I'd like to confirm it here."

The white ghost face instinctively dodged, but Gao Yuan's knife was still on his neck: "What are you going to do?"

"What are you doing?" Zhou Chang snorted coldly, "Humph, you are not a secluded girl, are you afraid of seeing it?"

"If you look at it, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave Fengming Mountain today." The white ghost face was also fierce.

"Are you threatening me?" Zhou Chang used the tip of his knife to poke at the veil on the white ghost mask. "In that case, why don't I chop off your head first and then take off the mask? Will that be okay?"

The white ghost face was frightened.

"Hehe..." Zhou Chang's eyes moved slightly, but he suddenly sneered and returned the knife to Wei Ning, then turned around and walked back.

There are some things it is better not to know, and there are some things it is better not to know even if you know them.

Gao Yuan led his men, carrying the white ghost mask, to follow quickly.

The group of kidnappers waiting on the hillside did not show much surprise at the capture of White Ghost Mask.

Zhou Chang strode back and exhausted all his strength, so he sat back down on the chair of the sedan chair. At this time, Shouhou also rushed back from the foot of the mountain and quickly handed her a kettle.

Zhou Chang took small sips of water to drink.

Not long after, a man wearing a black veil, a black ghost mask and black clothes appeared from behind the huge rock opposite.

Zhou Chang's heart tightened when the man in black appeared. He couldn't even put on a calm smile, so he could only drawl out his voice: "Haha... I think... now is the time to really discuss the price."

When the black ghost mask spoke, it seemed as if there was sand in his throat, and his voice was disguised: "It's useless to catch him. You can't replace him."

"Really?" Zhou Chang didn't care and pointed at the white ghost face that was being held beside him. "The main reason we arrested him is to make him prove to you that the jade pendant is useless and can't open the treasure of your so-called Xihuang Tomb."

The black ghost mask looked at the white ghost mask through the black gauze of the veil, confirming with his eyes.

The white ghost face nodded and admitted: "Master, I have tried it myself, and it is indeed impossible to open it."

After hearing this answer, Black Ghost Face began to pace with his hands behind his back.

After a while, he suddenly stopped, drew the sword from his waist, and pointed it between Yuan Qi and Yuan Yun: "If that's the case, then these two women are useless, just kill them."

Zhou Chang could no longer remain calm: "Hey, let's talk it over nicely. You just want money, right?"

"Since the treasure is fake, there is no value in them keeping it." The black ghost mask was covered in black all over, and even his eyes could not be seen clearly.

Yuan Qi remained calm and stood still.

Yuan Yun's tears, which had just stopped, burst out again. She struggled desperately, but was held down by the kidnappers.

Zhou Chang's eyes were always on Yuan Qi: "Hey, come on, how can she be worthless? At least she is very valuable."

The black ghost face moved the tip of the sword towards the back of Yuan Qi's neck, and asked in a questioning tone: "How much can she take out now?"

Zhou Chang didn't understand what this meant for a moment: "How much? Have you never heard of 'Long Yuyuan Family'?"
