Eighteen hours later-
The group finally reached their destination. Wen Hou got off the plane with an expression of wanting to vomit.
"Why didn't anyone tell me that I had to take an 18-hour flight? Ugh…"
"Master Wen Hou, a plastic bag." Tamamo Saka returned to her human form and kindly gave Wenhou a plastic bag.
"Thank you. Ugh…it feels much better."
"Brother, do you need medicine for airsickness?"
Oh, thank you, Wenwen…Eh?" Wen Hou was shocked.
"Hey, brother. Are you starting to miss me?"
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to stay in the apartment?？”
" Brother, you knew that I would board the plane secretly as soon as you turned around…" Wenwen waved her hands." Ah, the boring flight is finally over. I can't wait to see the real mausoleum. I used to only see it on TV." "I'll definitely get full marks in the history exam this time," Wenwen said excitedly.
Wen Hou looked helplessly at his big brother Wen Xing.
"Little brother, you have to stay with me obediently later.”At this moment, Wen Xiang finally showed the way a big brother should act.
"Hey, this isn't fair! I also took an 18-hour flight!”
However, not many people paid attention to Wenwen's protest.
Not long after they got off the plane.
A guide came to the landing area of the helicopter and brought Wen Hou and the rest to their destination.
Wen Hou realized that the people standing guard along the way were actually fully armed army guards. Surprisingly, they encountered more than one sentry post along the way. There were at least four or five of them, and each sentry post had more and more guards, and the inspection was getting stricter.
"It's actually so strict…Looks like this matter isn't as simple as it seems.”Wen Hou thought silently in his heart.
The person who led the way came to the two middle-aged men and said,"Mr. Secretary General, the person you want to see is here.“
One of the two middle-aged men stared at Wen Hou, sizing him up. He then turned to the other middle-aged man with a contemptuous expression,""Squeak! I was wondering who the people you recommended were, but it turns out to be a few young people! Just tell them to go back and not get in our way…"
Wen Hou's expression changed slightly when he heard that. A few veins had already started to appear on his cheeks. He did not like being looked down upon by others. When Wen Hou lost his temper, he wouldn't care about the other party's status.
Furthermore, due to the hot weather, Marquis Wen had a bad temper.
"Damn old man, I thought you were just going to lose all your hair. I didn't expect you to have presbyopic. You should work harder so that I can remember your name! "Hearing Marquis Wen's sarcasm, the middle-aged man who was looking at Marquis Qing Wen suddenly turned his head."Yo! Kid! I didn't expect you to be so eloquent!”
"Aiyaya! Don't say that. I can't compare to your smelly mouth, damn old man!”
"Hey, hey, everyone, stop arguing. Chief Zhang, you too. They are professionals that I have hired with great difficulty.”The secretary-general, who was standing at the side, quickly tried to smooth things over. Probably because the secretary general and the director had shut up for the time being, the secretary general said to Wen Hou.
"All in all, our construction project dug out this mausoleum when it reached this point. If we don't properly dispose of this mausoleum, we won't be able to continue the construction. But the problem is that we used all the methods we could think of, including fixed-point explosions and smashing with hammers. Let alone opening it, we didn't even cause the slightest damage to the tomb.”
"This tomb is so strange." Youye said in surprise after hearing this.
Most people's attention was focused on the mausoleum in front of them.
However, there were still a few people who were clearly not paying attention to this.
Wenwen, the younger brother, maintained his intelligence at this moment. He looked around and asked curiously," This project is very expensive, right? Where did you get all this funding?”
"Nonsense! Of course, he had to find a way to make up some old bad accounts and then pass the review! Ah…No! No! We paid for it ourselves.”
The secretary general suddenly stuttered after being questioned by Wenwen. It was an old habit of all government officials. They were afraid of being questioned. However, even if he didn't tell the truth,
Even Wenwen, a child, could guess that it must be another waste of the people's hard-earned taxes.
In this world, honest officials were allowed to exist, but corrupt officials definitely existed. This was a fixed rule that no one could change.
Wen Wen expressed that this world was really too complicated.
"Anyway, the purpose of asking you to come here is to ask for your help.”As he spoke, he led Marquis Wen and the others to the other side of the mausoleum. As the construction of the basement was not completed yet, there was still a huge hard rock layer inside. What was surprising was that there was a strange stone door in the rock wall. At first glance, it seemed to be carved out of the rock wall. Marquis Wen walked closer to take a look. The surface of the huge stone door was covered with strange symbols and words. There were also some animal embossed on it. It seemed to be quite old. Because those symbols and words looked a little like the hieroglyph of ancient China.
"It looks quite old. Why is there a stone door here?”Marquis Wen walked around the stone door, carefully observing the inscriptions on it.
"Last week, when we were halfway through the project, we suddenly connected this stone door. As explosives or machinery were unable to destroy it, they even thought that it was a product of aliens or a lost civilization!”
"Are you sure this isn't a door that seals monsters?”Wenwen was holding a movie magazine in her hand.""That's how movies are played."
"This is not a movie!"
"You have to know that all inspiration comes from life.”
"Security, where did this child come from?？”
"Alright, alright, I'll shut up. Seriously, you adults have no sense of humor at all.”Wenwen raised her hands in surrender.
"What sense of humor is this!"
"You don't understand cold humor."
Ignoring Wenwen, the bureau chief looked at the stone door and said with a serious expression,""This strange stone door, after our analysis with scientific instruments, was established around 2000 B.C., probably during the Xia Dynasty in the history of China. However, I suspect that the civilization at that time had the means to build a ruin of this scale in such a deep mountain…"
Wen Hou pointed at the stone door and said with a puzzled expression,""A building from the Xia Dynasty…I just took a look at this stone door. There's a strange power attached to it, as if it's sealed by some spell or magic power.”
"Little brother, you've observed very carefully!”
The director nodded and walked over from afar.""Because this stone door is obstructing the progress of the project, we have to find someone proficient in magic to remove this stone door. How about it, little brother, are you willing to help me?”
The director's tone was very casual, as if he was condescending. He probably thought that with his status, no one would dare to refuse his request.
However, when Wen Zao and the others saw him like this, they only felt that he was doomed to be in a tragic situation because he had underestimated Wen Hou. As expected, Marquis Wen shrugged his shoulders and said with a waning interest,""I'm very sorry! I'm not interested in accepting this commission." "Why?" The director asked in confusion, and at the same time, a surprised expression appeared on his face.
"No reason. I just don't like you, old man.!”
"Do you know what the consequences will be if you don't agree?”The unpleasant feeling of losing face made the director suddenly use his usual threatening tone.
"Humph! I'm not interested in knowing! I only know that if you dare to speak to me with this attitude, you should know the consequences! You damn old man!" Marquis Wen's aura wasn't inferior to others. His eyes emitted killing intent, which in turn revealed a powerful aura. The director was scared and took a few steps back. He did not expect this kid to be so difficult to deal with. When the so-called politicians could not suppress the other party with their bravado and power, what was left was only boring class consciousness. "You…you actually dare to speak to me in such a tone? I'm the dignified bureau chief! You impolite, uneducated brat…"
"Ha…you old fart, are you stupid?”Not willing to be outdone, Wen Hou immediately retorted fiercely,""If it weren't for your self-righteous education reform, I wouldn't have to study so hard. Also, who are you? If you continue to babble in front of me, I will sell you to human traffickers at a low price immediately. I guarantee that I will not bargain!”
On the side, Kanzaki Chira was stunned by this side of Marquis Wen.
" Lord Wen Hou, he…" Qian Ling pointed at Wen Hou and looked at Wen Xiang.
Wen Xiang pouted." Don't worry about him. When he went to school, he happened to be in the midst of some education reform, so he never had a good impression of educational institutions.”
Wenwen kept nodding." Speaking of which, my brother has always been dissatisfied with my too much homework." No wonder brother is so sensitive to education reform. Now I know that it's the education institutions that are at fault.”
"How about this? As long as you help us solve this problem, we're willing to pay you 50 million yuan.”The secretary general, who was watching Wen Hou and the director's fight, could not stand it anymore, so he directly threw out his trump card and said it casually, as if this money was just an insignificant amount to him.
"Wha…What? 50 million! Did I hear wrongly?" When Marquis Wen heard this, his expression changed drastically, and his eyes shone with excitement!
"Hey, doesn't Second Brother never lack money? Why is he so agitated?" Wenwen asked in confusion.
"No one would complain about having too much money, right?" Besides, it's actually quite hard for your second brother to earn money to support a large family. I'm still a freelancer, and my salary is very unstable. Even if your second sister is writing about love on the internet, it's just enough to meet her own needs. The extra money still depends on your second brother.”
"That's true."
"Little brother, as long as you can open this stone door today, I'll pay you 10% more!"”
Marquis Wen immediately changed his expression and said with a smile,""Yo…it would have been fine if I had said so earlier. Mr. Secretary General, don't worry. I promise to take care of this mausoleum very quickly.”
As the saying goes, money can make the world go round. This saying was no exception even for Marquis Wen, who was cleared to zero.
Since he had already negotiated the remuneration with the other party, Wen Hou immediately displayed a hardworking attitude. He opened his backpack and took out the slaughter sword and talismans that he often used. He was very focused on unlocking the sealing power attached to the stone door. He stuck talismans on the ground and released a few offensive tactics. The scene was filled with explosions and flames, causing the room to be filled with dust. Unfortunately, the stone door was not damaged at all, let alone opening the door slightly. Wen Hou was furious, and he kicked the stone door. Even though Marquis Wen's Renwang level attack could be said to be invincible in the modern world, once he encountered this indestructible stone, he could only hug his ankles and jump around. This made Marquis Wen feel pain, but at the same time, he was surprised that the stone door's sturdiness was beyond his expectations.
That kick earlier was enough to break a mountain range, but when it landed on the stone door, it only made a loud ear-piercing noise. It was completely useless.
"I see that your spells don't seem to be of much use. Kid, can you do it?”The director looked at him for a long time and suddenly said such contemptuous words.
Wen Hou gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with rage. If his eyes could shoot out destructive beams, the director would have been burnt to a crisp. Considering the generous reward and the fact that this was Mister Long's order, Wen Hou could temporarily suppress his temper. Therefore, Wen Hou pretended not to hear the director's mockery. However, if the director continued to provoke him, he might detonate the atomic bomb and cause the crisis of the end of the world…Hehe.
Marquis Wen exhausted himself for a long time, but it was all in vain. In the end, he even reluctantly said that the sealing spell on this stone door was at least the magic power of a Saint. With the current level of humans, it was impossible to break this protection. In fact, according to what the director had mentioned before, they had also used explosives, earth-boring machines, supersonic and infrasonic shredders, and even laser cutting machines. However, none of them could cause any substantial damage to this stone door. Now that even supernatural spells could not do anything to it, it seemed that there was nothing in this world that could destroy it. Things had reached a stalemate. If the stone door was not removed, the basement project could not continue. If the project couldn't proceed, Marquis Wen wouldn't get paid. If he didn't get paid, he would get angry. Of course, a certain big shot of the scale would also be angry. At that time, even if he had a good relationship with the higher-ups, Wen Hou would at least get a bad impression of not putting in any effort.
Marquis Wen was having a headache.
